it's not. i have never had so much support for border control. frankly that the barrier.

be. have to go back. we have. no one here in moscow. so with the u.s. government shutdown over trump's border wall close to entering its third week democrats have pushed forward with legislation and the stalemate the house of representatives now controlled by the democrats has passed two bills to fund and reopen the federal government but they don't include funding for a border wall. legislation. democrats to cry the notion of the war. the u.s. president. has widespread support. oh you all isn't in morality

it's not who we are is a nation and this is not a wall between mexico and the united states that the president is creating here it's a wall between reality and his constituents his supporters i have never had so much support as i have in the last week over my stance for border security for border control and for frankly the wall or the barrier. so how this all home and this stance in particular donald trump took to instagram posting this statement often times you also posted the following video. illegal immigration is wrong plain and simple.

u.s. stock markets are a sea of red off the apple issued a profit warning for the first time in six years the tech john blames on all charges trade war with china and the president insists the dispute is actually helping america the whole bushel 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 you're saying that ten perfectly. but 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 of the donald slump painful tariffs on imports from the communist superpower beijing swung back imposing or proposing tolls on most american imports from all imax to cause so our pools not the only u.s. multinational i can 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 bringing us some money but it's not bringing a dent 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 end they will boost growth so everything the opposite has happened and we haven't won all is done is increase television from around the world and now we've seen how it's profoundly affecting even tech companies as you can see from apple's sales in china this is a direct consequence of the trade wars and it's not just china that's filled the burden of trump's policies of twenty eight to the u.s. president's tariff slapping spree has also hurt american allies some of whom are

now questioning whether they need a friend like artie's what i guess do you explain. two thousand and eighteen hasn't been easy in america i know it was a rough rough year friends came friends went more went really then came and those that weren't friends in the first place well they've lost all fear. to go to a bullying enemy yesterday saddam was in front of us today it's trump there is no difference we must resist and when. you have to see the criminal supremacist version of those who govern the united states. countries shouldn't just point fingers at the others but ignore their own mistakes they shouldn't be the torchlight doing nothing but exposing the weakness of others while ignoring their own come now no surprise those countries weren't all that buddy buddy with america to begin with but us allies friends that's another story without

a happy ending take trumps little vendetta against iran where he top nuclear deal with it deal that took his allies europeans years of efforts negotiations sweat and nerves trump is now threatening his own allies if they there break his blockade against iran no one trades with iran he insists that the europeans are playing ball. as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we now need to act we believe that it is and it has to be up to the europeans and its case to decide with home to trade with. take also trumps advice to germany lately sort of bullying with regards to

russian gas pipelines. germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course nothing complicated here in america cannot compete with much cheaper russian gas but if you get rid of russian gas pipelines europeans trump's allies will have no choice but to overpay for american gas well it's better than taking advantage of your friends problem is germany isn't that stupid we can't rely on the superpower of the united states neither is nato immune to trump's charms huge smalling out this year between turkey and the states and crow wanting to buy russian anti air missiles and trump trump didn't like that one bit we have had serious concerns about turkey's potential acquisition

of the ass four hundred system so this is turkey's decision we made a deal on the s four hundred that file is closed it is closed business trumps gung ho attitude his speak first think later and then change your mind style has. pushed away friends or shove them away made enemies it's getting hard to bully coerce and strong arm your way around shining example as what's happening at the un or rather what isn't happening in the us getting its way q more threats the american people pay twenty two percent of the un budget more than the next three highs donor countries combined in spite of this generosity the rest of the un voted with this only thirty one percent of the time this is not an acceptable return on our investment president trump wants to ensure that our foreign

assistance dollars always serve american interests. america's erratic behavior its tantrums costing it power influence friends even the famous bromance with french president mark crown is ending but it's more than that it's a new global trend where people nations are pretty sick of being ordered about told what to do irregardless of what they think hard of trump tweeting about them two thousand and eighteen was hard on america trump made it so. germany's interior minister is demanding tougher laws on asylum seekers after a migrant gang went out of group all spree against passers by including children a top politicians are warning the current laws to not allow deportation even of violent criminals. that are here said law not to i've been asked for months already

to make the deportations more effective in germany and that's why we've been working for weeks at the ministry of the interior to prepare a constitutional amendment for a more efficient deportation system so violent offenses are increasingly worrying me whether they are done out of xenophobia or whether they are carried out by foreigners and asylum seekers a state governed by the rule of law must decisively combat both that is our basic position. a person who randomly attacks innocent passers by demonstrates that he does not seek the protection of our society the need to perpetrate is 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 following the incident that took place on saturday evening which left twelve people injured in a seemingly random attack in the town of please have four main suspects in custody they range from seventeen to nineteen years in age and come from afghanistan. and

ron 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 you are 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 reaction to am bag but this hate and the threats of violence now coming from all over the republic 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 a note to commit a crime and if they do thorough they have to go back to fence or. it's their mind this is ok they're. been through a lot so in the war in afghanistan they need help i think we have our laws we don't have to change the laws and i 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. we asked i.b.m. to have a solely of germany's left party and alternative for germany party member team polls to shed some light on the issue. we have a constitution that is very strong on human rights you cannot ever under the german constitution he point someone to the united states when he's facing the death penalty he has gas they committed crimes then they can no longer be our guests so what is the all of us should be doing is to actually work with countries . to enable us to deport people when we have to 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 he 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 it's

a big lie that they are all coming to germany because lives are in danger many of them a boat majority of them come to germany because. they had just . applied to welfare you know and to live for asylum did they all for years funded by the state and with no work angela merkel said we are. so we will be willing to. give birth but you know see we have incident incident incident so. we're into creation policy is a mess it's a missile reach. it's green four days since tragedy struck the russian city of magnitogorsk where a block of flats collapsed a search and rescue operation has now been called off after the body of the thirty ninth victim was recovered it is thought that a gas explosion caused the disaster and daniel holkins reports from the city.

thirty nine bodies appears to be the final casualty count from this building collapse that the recovery workers 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. 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 they were allowed intermittently to go back to the scene to pick up any other possessions that may have left behind. on the quickie. mart and is that of point one one they are innocent of all i see it was. just a child some need don't bullshit so who wanted to be sure to just let you have it when you're could you were sure what their own and as you spoke to these people

more and more stories emerged one shots 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 two 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 says 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 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 moves in. the squad to.

give them the need to this time so much time is to. sit up with them. with the telescope to shuffle the solution in line. one of the songs in which. indeed we saw pile of flowers of candles soft toys and clothes getting bigger and bigger issues many of them quite emotional in tears coming here to express their condolences this simply is offer support to those affected by this of course preparing for the large number tragically of funerals in this city of magnitogorsk and with most of the rubble that now getting cleared away . with their animals a dog right there spend days trapped in the towers ruins before being reunited with its own rescue was also found one. and that cat has now reportedly been taken into care by

a local volunteer. there's a. twenty parter in moscow if you can't beat them join them the u.k. army is appealing to snowflakes. and its latest campaign to get the younger generation to enlist which is how many would be willing to time for the front line and i started. a new year and time for a fresh start but the british army is kicking off twenty nineteen when the curious one struggling to get new additions to join its ranks it's come up with a new recruitment campaign aimed at the new generation or those the u.k. ministry of defense addresses in their new ads as me me me millennial snowflakes selfie addicts class clowns and phones are the new you're army needs you series of

posters video clips am radio ads aims to turn those society allegedly undervalues. most. news useless into those the army would properly appreciate. all this while. the new campaign is the third execution of the this is belonging series showing how the army finds potential beyond gen said and millennial stereotypes and a den of find the essential skills needed in new army recruits such as compassion self belief and focus this is how the u.k. ministry of defense attributes those qualities in its attempts to recruit if you're a snowflake the army needs you and your compassion if you're

a binge gamer it's your drive that's useful if your phone's on b. you must have great focus skills and if you're a me me me millennial you must apparently be fantastic at self belief that's the logic but how likely is it that this approach will appeal to the audience but i think it's a younger generation thing they're all offensive like to people like a different message the really bad connotation of put in the military in a bit of a strange light this would be quite rude to me any sense that it's really it's really good for you because the difference on these doesn't actually mean anything to do so. it's up. to the signs to people is that people always are still about the army being for them it's no secret that the british army has been failing to reach its target recruiting numbers currently at seventy seven thousand fully trained troops it's several thousand short of its eighty two thousand five hundred goal momentary drop out rates for uplands have also been recorded at

a whopping forty seven percent that's almost of all those applying so it seems likely that even this kind of in your face campaign could mean winning this recruitment war proves mission impossible and as i said r.t. london for the next few days here on international we are looking back at some of the stories we brought you in twenty eight. twenty eight was certainly a big year for news watchers was a lot of it but what was it like in the point of view of those reporting the big events of.

so for. now everything being into a mess if. you. have a moment to play its. face to face it from the public exhaust everything you can possibly a budget as they try and place the way that will goes to the floor. this instrument near the border with north korea is a. really really close. to the most dangerous man in the world from the stick to mars. so please see. this side of the leader. kim jong il. we're actually see big us

fighting over right now content how many times that we. can have gone from it's complicated to inhalation to see what are you going to. the video we can see all my buddies telling all. but really no go. after receiving a blow to the face. of the police sort of. mold

with. the red ink. to. me. i'm so. happy. and goodness only knows how twenty nineteen will be international thanks for joining us for all this time we are back in about half an hour with much.

that is your last yes does. she doesn't it with the people must have gone this what i mean. i mean. you know the yellow sea going from a week in which he has nothing else in this life. that you're in the form of the media. almost you must name their very one within them what i'm

most most in the moment it was up in this film i was in the most i was a defense. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than our current m.p. each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and it going rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember in one one business so you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company develops in the demise of 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 paul you know she said is just. minutes and i don't mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i did not only want the money i want the revenge. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

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 gotten through in the time. but i guess that's. only because i'm just going there still are doing it because. i still get. through.

welcome to worlds apart it is often said that the united nations is only as good as its member states allow it to be but what happens when those numbers state deliberately start to act the institution itself its legacy the synergies it creates cool for the whole is greater than the sum of its parts to discuss that i'm now joined by the united nations secretary general until any of this secretary-general first of all let me welcome you here in moscow it's great to see you stranger very much for your time let me start with congratulating you on the

victory over.
