i. think. germany is divided as ministers demand deportation and tougher asylum laws after a shocking attack by migrants. be honored to be able to be here and to commit a crime and it's a do so they have to go back they deserve a second chance we have our laws we don't have to change the laws. the search and rescue operation comes to an end following the tower block collapse in the russian city of mckinney two goals after the body of the final victims were covered in the tragedy which killed thirty nine. plus looking back at last year's mainstream media coverage we look at why twenty might be considered the year of trouble.

yet you are right when you think you are you watching international great to have you with us. germany's interior minister demanding tougher laws on asylum seekers after a migrant gang went on a brutal spree against passers by including children top politicians are warning current laws don't allow deportation even for violent criminals if existing laws are not sufficiently must be changed the events in a very troubling this is. which we cannot tolerate. a person who randomly attacks innocent passers by demonstrates that he does not seek the protection of our society the perpetrators can expect no understanding in our country but only the full force of the law currently deportation is not legally possible but we're working hard to change that for following the incident that took

place on saturday evening which left twelve people injured in a seemingly random attack in the town of place have four main suspects in custody they range from seventeen to nineteen years in age and come from afghanistan and iran well this is prompted ministers to call for a change in the laws as it stands at the moment you can be deported back to a home country if your applying for asylum and your a minor or the country that you would be returned to is deemed to be dangerous now the christian social union i'm going to merkel's coalition partners in bavaria they've come out and said they want this law changed now the green party and the mayor of the town of umberger have accused the christian social union and interior minister horse and say hoffer of playing politics with this issue i do understand the anger which i see in some of the reactors have gone too far. for is using the amber consistent effectively to tighten asylum legislation such proposals have next

to zero impact when it comes to fighting crime and only helping extremism politicians split over what to do over to porting asylum applications certainly seems people are also equally as spliffs i spoke to people on the streets of berlin and they gave me their reaction to the story they should be honored to be able to be here and. yeah should. they have to do and not to commit a crime and if they do thorough they have to go back to tents. it's their mind this is ok they have. been through a lot so in a war in afghanistan they need help i think. we have our laws we don't have to taint the laws they think we are right doing it. right now they deserve a second chance while the center for european reform says that one third of those migrants and refugees that came to germany since twenty fifteen currently in full

time employment or an apprenticeship scheme however it's what to do with those other two thirds especially those among them who would commit crime well that's causing headaches for legislators across the country vision to have a soul of germany is the left party told us there's a way must be found to deport criminal migrants. we have a constitution that is very strong on human rights you cannot ever under the german constitution you point someone to the united states when he's facing the death penalty and this will not change if they're dangerous people they should go to prison he has guests and if they commit crimes then they can no longer be our gas so what is even worse should be doing is to actually work with countries. to enable us to deport people when we have the promise that they will not be tortured like in ca rendition sites or on the threat of the death penalty in fact what he's

doing is fear mongering and so he is scaring those people that are willing to integrate while he should be targeting the radical islamists that his government has let into our country. the recovery of the body of the thirty ninth victim from the collapse the partner block in the russian city of likely to go has brought the search and rescue operation to a close that's according to the emergency services is thought a gas explosion was to blame for the disaster our correspondent hawkins's been following the aftermath of the tragedy. thirty nine bodies appears to be the final casualty count from this building collapse that the recovery works went on for around seventy two hours in total almost nonstop throughout the day and night pausing only for safety as you can see behind me some of the balconies and the roofs are in a state of total destruction and we're not allowed to go any closer for fear they may collapse as well residents fled this disaster scene with only the clothes on

their back perhaps a few documents or cash they didn't have time simply to grab anything else today they were allowed intermittently to go back to the scene to pick up any other possessions that may have left behind. on the ship smarting is that of point one one they are innocent of all i see it was. just a child some need to stand on and on bush so just wanted to revisit it just not hear of it when you have what you are sure what they own and as you spoke to these people more and more stories emerged over the last twenty four hours that example the family a mother and daughter who slept just as a one off in a different room they would have stayed normally the father stayed on the couch tragically that was the first part of the building to collapse she managed to get away with her daughter the father tragically was not so lucky another story to come out over the last few days an infant boy who was buried in the rubble here just

behind me he was heard crying by emergency workers who rushed to the scene managed to get him out after more than twenty four hours in these freezing temperatures he's since been taken to moscow and now despite his multiple serious injuries his condition is described as stable many of the people we've spoken to today the witnesses at the scene those who were directly affected by this tragedy but they are saying they're also pleasantly surprised by how people have come together offering their support for the political views in. these water machine. chip you're going to need to this time i mean to. sit up all. over the solution of my mince told me. to go to the prison like marco did a little bit one of the songs you know which version could have been put on indeed we saw as we have worked here today the pile of flowers of candles soft toys and i

was getting bigger and bigger as many of them quite emotional in tears coming here today to express their condolences there simply is offer support for those affected by this of course preparing for the large number tragically of funerals that will take place tomorrow in the city of magnitogorsk with most of the debris now cleared in the rescue operation officially over many have been reunited with your animals as you can see in this video one woman rushing her dog to the vets. for days trapped in the towers with the dog is named rex it is reported to be shaken but fine rescues also found a cat covered in blood it's now been taken into care by a local volunteer just live to the right but. there's a new. u.s.

stock markets or a sea of red after apple issued a profit warning for the first time in sixteen years the tech giant is blaming trade war with china but the president insists that the dispute actually helping america explains. what happened wall street's darling the world's first ever trillion dollar firm just months after that historic milestone the i pad make issues the canary in the mine shaft the most nailbiting announcement the chilling profit warning the first official public admission that a company's to announce bad news within minutes of the new york markets opening on thursday apple hey marriage to sixty four billion dollars of its value enough to replace every i phone cracked screen in the world investors now want the head of apple boss tim cook all right so they're saying that tell me. what cook

blame someone else trumps trade war with china we believe the economic environment in china has been further impacted by a rise in trade tensions with the united states after the donald slapped painful tariffs on imports from the communist superpower beijing swung back imposing or proposing tolls on most american imports from all i macs to cause so our pools not the only us multinational like on punning the trade crossfire between the world's top two economies but the donald remain strangely cool in fact he's glowing the united states treasury has taken in many billions of dollars from the tariffs which are going china and other countries that have not treated us fairly in the meantime we're doing well in various trade negotiations currently going on at some point this had to be done just one day off the apples profit warning sends shock waves through us think he tweets his tariff hikes bring in billions to the u.s.

purse so the trade was hurting or hoping there's definitely bring in this money but it's not bringing them from foreign governments it's bringing it and from american businesses and american consumers which is to say that it is a tax and taxes are not good for economic growth and he began this whole trade conflict same trade. wars are great they're easy to win and they will boost growth so everything the opposite has happened and we haven't won all's done is increase television from around the world and now we've seen how it's profoundly affecting even tech companies as you could see from apple's sales in china this is a direct consequence of the trade wars. over twenty eighteen all wrapped up now we've been taking a look back at the mainstream media's coverage for highlights but as you found out that coverage looks pretty much the same right through the. i know way too much about your news watching experience last year how come easy you don't need

superpowers for that look. this president could be impeached i do not think the president will serve out his term resignation resignation a huge incentive for president trump to resign it would be the beginning of the end of the term presidency of the beginning of the end of the nice a exactly the same thing last year. walls closing in the walls closing you know this is going to be the achilles heel dykeman's could lead to trump's impeachment is still there may get america great again prompts impeachment. on this. this which is current fight to try to put a hex on president literally multiple times donald trump has plenty to be scared. and so he is running scared yeah right probably another beginning of the end or

speech meant. a bit at some point a friend called you and they were like. no no. no bro but i have a look now. don't trump is cool control the sea with several of these statements on the wildfire as the president confuses their the number of missing people he visited the town of paradise california pleasure a couple of times he put those tweets at the worst possible time when people's lives are being compromised he was playing politics and elected officials say he doesn't really understand what's causing the fire what america lost two very dear and important people for the nation here's some of what you must have heard on the news president pro is not invited trump is facing backlash for his tweet on senator mccain for. didn't who had repeatedly mocked and diminished mccain during his life

was initially unable to offer up a single kind word descended into really well this is no night for name calling it's been well established that donald trump is no friend of the bushes president opposite to attend the state funeral for president george h.w. bush on wednesday but does the forty fifth president feel like he's really part of the president's. ok that's really what you want to talk about. so it's been a year of all kind of scoops from news on trump to news on from well at least there are other shows on the box. the beginning maybe i honestly want to do this again some nightmare no problem with the president switching about a month before everything's falling apart sometimes i wish i had never been president. who are you would never president. i think we can arrange that. and you kidding. me about me.

u.s. citizen in russia charged with espionage last week is appealing his arrest paul whalen faces up to twenty is. guilty it's the lawyers asking for his release on bail on the correspondent in a coach of a report from central moscow with the details. the u.s. national pool we learned was arrested here in russia and the moscow court has placed him under arrest for the period of two months and the man is currently facing charges of espionage right after the court hearing his lawyer said that he plans to appeal this decision and earlier on wednesday paul whelan received a diplomatic delegation the u.s. ambassador to russia john huntsman a man said the u.s. national and offered its support now paul whelan as a corporate security executive he is also a former u.s. marine and according to russian federal security service he was detained last friday during a spying action however there are still no details or any facts just quote still

grounding this particular operation and his brother david confirms that paul was indeed here in moscow he said that he came to the capital to attend a wedding of his fellow u.s. marine to a local woman and he was scheduled to come back home last sunday. to show break we will have a look back at some of the most remarkable stories of two thousand and three. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies croteau had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery ashe was a german company good untold develops in the divide a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to

have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything. you know she said is just cut short minix a little mind victims have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for. on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. the right questions. the right answers.

welcome back over the next few days we'll be looking back at some of the stories we brought in two thousand and eight. the copywriting of a catchphrase in a disney classic last year that led to accusations of imperialism and cultural appropriation. you'll know it from the one nine hundred ninety four film you saw a clip of it there the lion king a new version by the way is being released this year but it. has launched a petition to remove the trademark from disney he claims that that phrase belongs

to african culture and that it can't be owned by any single company position was launched late december almost one hundred eighty thousand people have already signed it. akin to articles from the swahili language it means no worries it was trademarked by disney back in two thousand and three for using clothing and footwear disney has never denied the origin of the phrase the company however still hasn't commented on the petition back in december we discussed this issue with our guests. why we're seeing so much pushback from people on it they see this as another as you alluded to manifestation of cultural appropriation and it continues a capitalism entrepreneur africa and specifically africa a continent representing everything that capital is once everything capital is need but everything capitalists don't want to pay for that so used to be looked at and i don't know necessarily anti-capitalist stand i mean i don't want to find out in sydney that you're driving a jeep cherokee let me just leave it at that obviously i think it's unnecessary pressure as i mentioned earlier we live in an error of only outreach people are

just looking for a reason to be offended i don't think this is a case about offending people right i mean everyone will find a way to get up to be offended i think what we're seeing here is the commodification of culture and we have to go beyond sheridan to the one thing that does the did do is davey the investment in the line king franchise which is free to do a lot of jobs did he's made a lot of money and let me tell you something disney has donated to an african causes in africa last year two thousand and seventeen he donated over three hundred forty million dollars not everything is meant to be commodified and culture is one of those thing that specially when the culture does not belong to the corporation that is trying to appropriate and make money off of it at the end of the dade does he is a global company so it's not to say that they can't appropriate or use phrases from other cultures let me say something right now where are we going to go with this next is taco bell going to be under attack is the tilted kill pub franchise i think

it's a faulty parallelism to compare a franchise like taco bell to language like recruitment tata disney also tried this with dia de los went though so they also tried some copyright the day of the dead which is also something that is culturally sacre to people specifically in mexico you make money the way that you want to make money and that's fine but this is my cultural appropriation. we might be past the new celebrations but there is one thing internet can't seem to like the u.s. central command's tweet about new york's famous drop the ball celebration. few. times square tradition rings in the media by dropping the big bold if ever needed we are ready to drop something much much bigger.

we have become a nation run by ninth graders oh my gosh i'm not rocket scientist but it was hard to beat his downfall is not a phrase the world wants to hear from the operators of the most powerful nuclear arsenal on the planet was. a strategic command sports person navy captain brook there wolf told c.n.n. the post is potable recap of commands priorities and is all about reassuring the american people that the u.s. military is ready at all times even on new year's eve. a previous new year's eve tweet was in poor taste and does not reflect our values we apologize. jason's got nothing on us.

was. ok the wrap things up for this news out. for the evening that will be back tomorrow and my colleague initial says he will keep me right up to date in just over half an hour. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and

this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time. when you're going to get. along you've got to just run their store do a deep fry because they're tired suckers are going to. buy stuff in the house if a significant. country has gone into a nihilistic fever. i think they've got it and get out the traveling across

america to find what makes america the charlotte is the genius of this place especially on. american hero this is a point which element we always are on the register. called gun culture is really important. we're starting last with this is we're going to head into the swamp we're going into the belly of the b. i think i want to leave no governor any more of them it may be completely different to the. max kaiser this is the kaiser report nuclear span different fantastic all multi

episode drill down into twenty nineteen predictions also twenty nineteen will be celebrating ten years of the kaiser report over one hundred eighty five million people have been in a hotel room or walking through an airport when the cars are parked and playing in the background stacey did you add them ok i got forty million of them and they love the show. well that would make a perfect book and because you know in the last episode on january first twenty one thousand we did mention this could be a year of the stock market crash we started on the stock market crash and we could . be very poetic when that well i also said that this year you know we're going to change up a little bit just slightly you won't notice too much difference but one thing when we made gonzo and when we made that series one thing that was quite remarkable to me of traveling across america. is that it's so peaceful and calm

quiet and an hysterical much of how one to ticks and then the next episode of our three part january you know new year sort of special we're going to talk about politics but right now you know it's so hyper active and extreme and everything's about to fall apart and and you know breathless sort of oh my god oh my god everything's changing whereas what we found when we traveled across america is people outside of the beltway are not unhinged like what you see on twitter and cable news yes well you know across america you know it's a big country and there are regions and it within those regions are separate identities of the people in the votto very different people in los angeles very different people in north dakota florida and they have their own economies or own culture one would say you know if you travel across europe you'll be in france and germany and spain within a few hours and go across america it's one marginalize country but there are these

distinct regions the south the north east the west coast and these people are living according to their own particular cultural economic backgrounds and what serves them and that's what makes the america quite a dynamic place and i will say just to follow up on the sun eighty five million people have been in the presence of the kaiser report what has been playing in the background the most frequent question i get over the years how do i ever clean this vest because i've worn the vest now for over a one thousand four hundred episodes and the answer is no i've never actually had to clean this is some of the original dirt from episode one is right on the vest on this waste coast and that's why i'm sending it to the smithsonian institute or to put it more plainly the smith says this is only a smithsonian so i want to actually get.
