8:01 pm
a wall along the mexican border earlier donald trump said he could declare a national emergency if congress fails to release five billion dollars of government funds to build the wall but we can call a national emergency because of the security of our country absolutely know we can do it i haven't done it i may do it i may do it. there's a lot to unpack here let's cross live now to our correspondent who is in the united states for a scale of what do we expect from the speech. well it's already eighteen days that the u.s. federal government has been partially shut down with congress and the white house not reaching an agreement about spending and at this point the public is waiting to momentarily hear from u.s. president donald trump he'll be speaking primetime to the u.s. public from the oval office at this point people are expecting that donald trump will speak about the issue of border security now there are some who speculate that
8:02 pm
trump could call for a national emergency in order to allocate funds in order to build his wall now in the lead up to tonight's speech there has been calls from the democratic party and from various figures for mainstream t.v. networks not to air the speech however the mainstream t.v. networks in the united states will be airing the speech and as in the lead up to the speech in the anticipation builds there's been talk of quote unquote totalitarianism from the democratic side of the aisle and this is some of the build up and anticipation of the upcoming speech we're hearing from the mainstream media in the united states. the president potentially invoking emergency powers what would the limits of that power be really threatening talk from the president that he doesn't have the power to execute you can change the law and he can avoid the constitution saying otherwise those judges will enjoy them the minute the it gets dry would likely be challenged in court this whole idea of declaring a national emergency is ludicrous now at this point the
8:03 pm
stakes are rather high when it comes to this government shutdown at this point the democrats are adamant that they will not pay for donald trump's wall on the southwestern u.s. border however donald trump made this a pretty big part of his presidential campaign and seems pretty adamant that this wall will be built let's review some of what has been said by us president trump. building the wall we're building the wall folks we're building a big beautiful powerful wall a great great wall and it's going to be a real war it's going to be i was going to be beautiful it's going to be a one year mission would build the greatest wall you have ever seen. now if donald trump were to declare a national state of emergency in the united states that would give him the ability to take funding from the u.s. military and utilize it for building the wall he would then be able to do so however at that point then spending on the wall the five billion he's asking for
8:04 pm
for the wall would not be included in this spending bill that the president and the and the congress cannot agree on so at that point if you were they able to declare a national emergency build the wall a five billion taken from the military he then would be able to sign a bill from congress that did not include the five billion for the wall so some are speculating that he would do that but already democrats have said that if trump were to take that move they would then take him to court they would take the issue to court and challenge the constitutionality of such an action so people are watching and waiting to see what the president of the united states will be saying when he speaks to americans from the oval office it will be a prime time broadcast all eyes are waiting to see what the president will say. of course we will be covering that here on r t international as well thanks for giving us a preview and we look forward to you wrapping that up after he's done speaking as well thanks for being with us. or switching gears now a man in germany has admitted to being behind

8:09 pm
members of the f.t. no longer feel safe. there is an atmosphere in the country that every scene which is right wing. conservative is madness and evil and i think there are some who created seas and some crude knows who believe that they don't have the right to do good why are these acts which are regretted either that or do you people but in sex only there is no problem if there is that one station if there is a public hearing if he is able to to hold it where you on brain where and how many were impossible then it's looking for possible to organize a demonstration or to have a public hearing that for instance included are also probably curing offscreen members of holland and it couldn't be protected by the local police that means we have such an anti far left wing extremists all over today but the conditions especially. very hard makes of them or already impossible to have

ordinary political life. russian military police say they have started patrolling an area to the west of the syrian city of man beach with a view of ensuring security there our correspondent what i've got you have has more on the development and how it could shape the ongoing power struggle in the region . this safe zone a buffer zone really was established off the kurdish why p. g. forces moved out they handed the area over to the syrian government the syrian army and it was declared a demilitarized zone. patrolled by russian military police monitors who arrived on the seventh of january now the goods weren't acting out of altruism but because turkey was and ease threatening to invade use the white b g p k k its terrorist.
8:11 pm
if you go in the turkey's targets in kurds are russian will took you started to the kurdistan workers spot to tahrir groups one of the goals of to to struggle against the p.k. k. in that syrian suits is to save the kurds from the tyranny and suppression of the terror group trumps declaration that he's pulling out of syria suddenly threw things into a state of flux u.s. allies the white b.g. who had lived and depended on american protection suddenly face being left alone with hostile turks rebels isis syrians on all sides their own arab allies ready to dump them reportedly and u.s. national security advisor john bolton is desperately trying to secure a future safety for his could this allies we're going to be discussing the president's decision to withdraw but to do so from northeast syria in
8:12 pm
a way to make sure that the chance of israel and other friends in the region. is absolutely assured and to take care of those who fought with us against isis and other terrorist groups at the end of the day the u.s. will leave the kurds understand this obviously and they're fast tracking the goo she sions with president asaad with the syrian government could into various reports reconciling perhaps obviously they have their differences but it's a hostile neighborhood friends a few and far between and as we see now they can leave at any moment. well the united states national security adviser said on sunday however that his country's troop withdrawal will be dependent on a number of guarantees from turkey one of john bolton's demands was that ensure the safety of washington's kurdish allies in northern syria that provoked an angry
8:13 pm
response from turkey with president even refusing to meet with bolton for talks earlier. the whole john bolton has made a grave mistake it is not possible to accept or swallow the message given by bolton from israel those who are in the terror corridor in syria who learn the necessary lessons for us there is no difference between the white p g p y d p k k and diet we will very soon take action to neutralize the terrorist groups in syria political analyst to use if erin told us that he believes sooner or later turkey will launch an incursion into syria regardless of washington's demands we look at what bolton saying and especially right before he comes to meet with the turkish officials and he basically crosses a red line when he's in israel the night before he comes to turkey and i don't understand what he was expecting in negotiations with turkey today but he definitely was expecting what he got in turkey is not going to bow down to the u.s.
8:14 pm
and turkey is not going to protect these kurdish fighters these kurdish fighters are terrorists in turkey turkey doesn't protect terrorists before trump propose the u.s. withdrawal turkey was ready to launch a military operation it was within days maybe hours of launching an operation until present president trump surprised everyone with this u.s. withdrawal announcement so regardless of what the u.s. does turkey is going to launch a operation east of the euphrates that this is a fact this is a very pressing national security matter for turkey. and a former boxer has been detained in france for allegedly punching a policeman that story much more after a short break this is our two international. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to
8:15 pm

8:20 pm
a power it's very dangerous you know it's women glasses the government doesn't have anything to offer of her except blood sweat and tears and if you were swimming glasses you know you're not a good citizen you will be banned from demonstration with this kind of situation it's completely you know there's no way out and because the government doesn't understand that it doesn't really represent anybody anymore this country. two biggest names in mixed martial arts could be on a course for a rematch russia's cubbie but not. defeated ireland conor mcgregor in october and now the president of the ultimate fighting championship says that he wants to get the two men back in the ring this year. as long as everything goes right this fight should happen. right in the run up to their recent bout mcgregor launched a vicious verbal assault on the russian fighter but in the end it was bieber who came out on top causing wild celebrations back home in august on our sports

8:22 pm
one way to find out who was the real. answer to that question was plain and simple. the russian fighter already way out in front. of the fight many m.m.a. experts predicted he could win what happened after his triumph hardly anyone expected that. the eagles literally flew out of the octagon triggering a mass bulls t. mcgregor several of the beeb's entourage were detained by the police and he sparse withheld as he deserved winner of the bounty was the score to the way without his belt and the after fight scrap was followed by a flood of public criticism. of his heavy weight you have seen fights. the fight against american derek lewis came on the same night in las vegas two fights before he'd be just like many he was surprised to see he explode.
8:23 pm
in front of the media. but i would never do that many things. to him. but you never know maybe it was a plan to get people talking about that even more after arriving back in his homeland having none of that criticism. i don't think they can use it to. despite the antics of swindon game the highlight of the year for many. safe to say. it might just be the popularity. not only did the results feel. james for the muslim world immediately became something i can respect for the guy on the field about just how talented he is for
