welcome back now the u.s. government has not really escaped another shutdown after president trump reluctantly signed a one point three trillion dollar budget deal backing down from his threats to veto it but he didn't shy away from showing his true feelings about the bill claiming he was forced to approve it for the sake of the military i will never sign another bill like this again i'm not going to do it again nobody read it. it's only hours old we had no choice but to fund our military after a lot of heated debates stressful afternoons and sleepless nights donald trump has finally signed the spending bill he had previously threatened to veto and as all the drama was playing out on national t.v. americans were googling a new word omnibus of signed this omnibus. budget bill this is on the bill to

a bipartisan amendment to the of the biggest budget in the omnibus. situation. translated from latin. now the bill contains basically the entire federal budget and if it hadn't been signed into law by donald trump at this point the us federal government would have shut down again senator rand paul of kentucky took to twitter to expose some of the more bizarre things contained in the over two thousand two hundred page bill that contains over one point three trillion dollars in legislative spending. two hundred forty seven a little over thirty billion dollars for the department of energy i wonder if anyone would notice nodes of homes of energy. i found that i found that border security what president truman wanted no wait a minute section says defense can spend one funds at a time and to enhance the border security of jordan lebanon egypt and tunisia. nine hundred sixty one million dollars to destroy chemical weapons who wasn't exactly

convinced to pay billions to develop weapons we now find to prove contention related to the issues of immigration democrats wanted protection for the docket kids these are people who entered the united states illegally under the age of eighteen trump wanted twenty five billion dollars to fund his notorious border wall at the end of the day and nobody got what they wanted the docket kids weren't even mention anywhere in the bill. meanwhile trump got a mere one point six billion dollars for his border wall that's supposed to be nearly two thousand miles wong so the federal government is not shutting down they'll be free to keep spending americans money despite the fact that we're already twenty one trillion dollars into debt congress is now taking a two week recess on capitol hill it's not hope and change or make america great again the name of the game is gridlock as president national security advisor gets ready to start what jacqueline explores how john bolton looks likely to be the

latest official to face scrutiny. to russia. in the latest installment of the revolving door saga that's defined the trumpet ministration a third national security advisor is taking over john bolton is an outspoken ultra hawk seen as an advocate of big stick diplomacy including when it comes to russia the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance putin is i think making a propaganda claim here and of course he's blaming us for this he's saying if you hadn't gotten out of the one nine hundred seventy two anti-ballistic missile treaty i wouldn't have to do this that's complete nonsense and he knows that you've got to build up our cyber offensive and defensive capabilities and create structures of deterrence so it doesn't happen again and how do you do that in this case you make the russians feel pain so not exactly in line with terms and during message of the benefits of getting along with russia but maybe that means this is the one guy in

the trump administration who won't be accused of being a kremlin puppet or not if we look back bolton is not without connections to russia and as we all know any hint of the wrong red white and blue flag is more than enough to string someone up in washington now back in two thousand and thirteen bolton recorded a video for a russian gun rights group and courage in moscow to adopt something similar to america second amendment or the russian national government to grant a broader right to bear arms to its people it would be creating a partnership with its citizens that would better allow for the protection of mothers children and families but given that bolton was on the n.r.a. is international affairs subcommittee at the time it's not all that surprising or sinister that however isn't stopping anyone from jumping to collusion conclusions now stay with me here the group that distributed the video was co-founded by alexander torsion yes a russian and the f.b.i. is reportedly investigating whether torsion illegally funneled money to the n.r.a. which in turn use the funds to support the trump campaign and the russian cherry on

top is torsion is tied to the kremlin and president putin himself was. connections like that there are sure to be a huge scandal brewing and sadly for bolton it gets worse he has appeared on our channel a number of times in the past and we all know what washington thinks of us propaganda bullhorn party television up again the machine of russian propaganda and russian propaganda machine propaganda machine this propaganda that's coming out of russia russian propaganda on steroids the internet isn't ignoring the possibly serious physical signs of where bolton's loyalties truly lie either. jumbo. his of russian spy. breaking john bolton's mustache started is a russian spy voters here in mr shit different colors which makes him look like he's in disguise and just over two weeks bolton will officially take over as trans national security advisor giving the media plenty of time to tease out any and all ties but may have to russia and speculate on exactly what they mean good luck guys

. legal and media analysts lionel believes bolton's appointment sends conflicting messages we started off with hawkish responsible bellicose saber rattling let's be more circumspect it changes by the day i have to remind you of this one issue north korea. phase one president trump want to choose one them we can annihilate you are button is bigger than your button we are more missiles are new to watch it phase two. data great let's meet stage three let's bring in bolden who wanted a preemptive strike if you can figure this out if you can see any pattern to this you're a better person than i am. a seventeen year old palestinian girl has been

sentenced to eight months in prison for stopping and kicking two israeli soldiers i had to meet me admitted guilt as part of a plea bargain with the israeli army. and. the assault which took place next to the girl's home in the occupied west bank was filmed by her lover the video later went viral and gained international attention her family say i had had just learned that a cousin of hers had been shot in the head over a bullet and that her actions were completely understandable. that my daughter did was a normal reaction to the occupation there is no chance of appealing the verdict because the israeli security legal system considers this verdict to be final this country does not acknowledge international law and we are fooling ourselves if we think that the israeli courts seek justice. but israel is here to see

a palestinian gain in media attention and that made them hate her for having people support that was the reason for her imprisonment israeli police and the media wanted her arrest which means that i had a fact of them i had slept did not merit all the inside meant against her and she is a child defending her land and home so this verdict is unjust she deserves freedom . i heard has been filmed attacking israeli forces before a video emerged online sixty years ago showing her threatening to punch an israeli soldier a family has been accused of encouraging the girl to intentionally provoke i.d.f. soldiers on the camera. last marches are getting underway in cities across the united states calling for stricter gun control laws hundreds of thousands are expected to take part support rallies are also being held in dozens of countries worldwide the march for our lives events have been organized

by the young survivors and families of last month's parklane school massacre in florida they call in for congress to take a tougher stance on gun ownership and a ban on assault weapons which have been used in a number of deadly attacks on u.s. schools lawmakers they're frequently capitulate under pressure from america's powerful gun lobby asked for student self-defense one school superintendent in the state of pennsylvania has suggested arming the youngsters with rocks meanwhile libertarian party politician and u.s. senate candidate brian ellison thinks homeless people are an easy target and is proposing now to own them his idea is to buy twenty shotguns and provide firearms training he says it's because rest sleeper's face increasing levels of violence. most people are statistically much more prone to be the victim of violent crimes they're easy target and they really don't have any means to protect themselves they

don't have a means to obtain the weapons that any other american citizen can continually get their hands on i understand why people see it's alarming. but i think people fail to see the other alarming point is people want to constantly bring up the mental health of the homeless and how that's a big issue how they're prone to violence i think that's frankly something that we should be much more worried about is the militarization of the police force and that is much more dangerous to the american people and i promise that the police kill many more people in a year then do any homeless people if we follow the letter of the law and we do the background checks like we expect to do and somebody does something that they're not supposed to do with a weapon they should be they should be held one hundred percent criminally responsible for their act. thank you for choosing aussie international poll the latest world news headlines to my colleague kevin knowing that's.

cool. i. thought . thank you. fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions

in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but only at the price of being destroyed itself. said well these weapons will overcome u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so they'll be more effective against russian forces. this is a story of one of africa's giants. know his teeth that show up. on his neck isn't that a long. list giant is rather modest and keeps a low profile that's not him either. people are often scared of this particular giant but he is nowhere near as dangerous as that one. is

a friendly giant every day with the possible exception of weekends he saves human lives to hear. his name is isaac a giant power scrat. and i like his brothers and sisters he was born with a passion for travel. isaac's birthplace was a special training center in tanzania. it's

called which stands for development of landmine detection equipment that's what isaac is these are mine sniffing rat. rats are everywhere they are sociable to all circumstances and they've lifted this with humanity since ever. they actually traditionally. garbage and they've been doing that. for always. mind sniffing rats are put to work in former hotspots where learned mines are among the most deadly remnants of armed conflict they're often found years after was ended and serious injury isn't the only problem. imagine how it must feel to live with the knowledge that there's a landmine lurking somewhere near your home. when i was a close up field and to help make the problem of landmines a thing of the past. but it will be

a full nine months before he becomes a real pro for now he simply spends his time with his family. it's no coincidence that giant rats were chosen to sniff mines in the wild their extraordinary sense of smell allows them to search for food buried deep underground it worked with land mines to the key is to train their bats to associate the discovery of t.n.t. with food and that's not difficult because everyone knows how intelligent rats. the really hard part is making sure that the rat doesn't make any mistakes that could be fatal and not just for the rat. these old regular rats there it's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in their cheeks to steal food just like hamsters so this particular animal is on the cusp between being a rat in a house that perhaps that's why they're just

a little bit cuter. i guess i should add to another really great benefit of our species of rats is that there are really curious which lab rats are curious as well but. their various social in terms of they're really willing to work with people. sometimes will develop that relationship with you but i don't think they develop it quite as readily as our rats do. meanwhile isaac has grown he's now four weeks old i'm training can begin like all children isaac schooling starts with the kindergarten. although it is a camera he helps a little rats to feel comfortable around people.

to see the difference. to be. the norm we teach the. truth. interacting with the care there is a vital part of the learning process it's important for isaac socializing. mind sniffing rats mustn't run away from all the bites people. when he grows up eyes are called way around a kilo and his body will reach thirty to forty centimeters in length just about as long as his tail. because they're so big grilled. is a favorite local street food.

that has started school he spends his early weeks learning the basic rule that t.n.t. means food. sound is used to reinforce the learned response when i can count as an empty container there's no sound. this one does contain t.m.t. and the click tells him that he can no claim i treat. well in general but how. they really let her do her thing they don't get involved or train influenced her in any way but their adds to the rat as a different behavior just before they find. they have certain if behavior some of them like to clean themselves they like to

groom themselves they're very clean. they don't like to get wet or maybe there's. some of them will walk around in circles some even stand up in the air. and so the handler knows that she's found some think it just has. indicated where it is. a rats remarkable sense of smell can detect the tiniest traces of t.n.t. . they can sense the explosive even when it's fifteen to twenty centimeters underground their noses of the not so secret weapon imagine if humans had similar abilities ok if you were in a pitch black room and somebody entered the house from. i would say. one kilometer away and it's pitch black and you can't hear anything you might be able to detect that some something changed but

that's also very hard for me to say because i really as a scientist i need evidence to support such a claim and i don't have. isaac and his sister at the gym they can give their paws a good workout sharpen their teeth. and enjoy a sense of freedom. looks as though isaac's trying to set out on his first trip. a nice try. a brief chase. a few a breath of fresh air. and he soon back in the fold.

they know what they are doing they know what to expect from them they know. if to your work you can do very we want. to three war. profit off these. very very very bored he learned most you have to report animals don't they don't understand this so i remember very well the words. and that's what we are doing. for about a. week these students are only fed the food supply given the streaks during training mostly a staple diet of but none of and not. just before.

during the weekend so little giants are given a veritable feast albert prepares a mixture of peanuts and dried fish this calorie cocktail is great for their bones do you think. you want. them to it's no feast without dessert. he says. he. says here. in the wild giant rats live in small underground colonies. they're quite

independent within the colony they live in their own burrows and tend not to share food with neighbors. females can choose their own mating partners but the colonies are not matter. they are ruled by a group that works a little like a parliament with both male and female members. and. it's a big day for isaac. is about to move on to high school. just like every graduate to be he gets his own personal transport. now i can start his field training.

giant power grab nocturnal they sleep by day but have active night lives. carers try to adjust to the rats biorhythms they set out at five thirty in the morning a field training session can start at six. bits for moments like this that isaac has been trained is not unarmed by the sound of the engine.
