by their live worldwide this is all t. international i'm calling right we're marking to you this wednesday morning at eight in moscow it's just midnight in washington d.c. which is where we're putting focus first a few hours ago in a televised national address president trump was once again called for funding for his border wall he stopped short of calling a national emergency to secure funding but kept the government shutdown in place nonetheless that's going into its nineteenth day minutes after his speech democratic leaders hit back calling manufacturing the crisis. law enforcement professionals have requested five point seven billion dollars for a physical barrier this barrier is absolutely critical to border security.
12:02 am
and must reopen the bathroom democrats in congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis and they have refused to provide our brave border agents with the tools they desperately need no president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down the federal government remains shut down shut down for one reason and one reason only because democrats will not fund border security who promise to keep government shutdown for months or years and i hurts that's just plain wrong the only solution is for democrats to pass a spending bill that defends our borders and we opens the government this president just used the backdrop of the oval office manufacture of crisis stoke fear and to pervert attention from the turmoil in his administration senator chuck schumer has
12:03 am
repeatedly supported a physical barrier in the past along with many other democrats they change their mind only after i was elected president so how did it get to this kind of open next takes a closer look at how the u.s. government crisis unfolded. we've heard the highly anticipated prime time address from the president of the united states donald trump now in the speech trump tried to make his case for the five point seven billion dollars he needs to build his border wall now he emphasized the flow of drugs into the united states furthermore he made reference to the m.s. thirteen criminal gang and also highlighted crimes committed by people who had entered the country illegally from did stop short of calling for the national emergency as many people had anticipated that he might do but he did call on people in the united states and american citizens and viewers to call their congressional
12:04 am
representatives and ask them to fund his wall in order to end what he called a cycle of suffering the wall has been a very big part of donald trump's political identity was mentioned all throughout his presidential campaign and sense he's taken office building the wall we're building the world folks with 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 one you have ever seen there was also a rebuttal from democratic party leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer they did respond to the president's remarks they accuse the president of engaging in quote government by temper tantrum and of holding the nation hostage there is expected to be a meeting between the president and the congressional leaders shortly and that will prosody clarify some of this but at the moment there seems to be a pretty big political gap in the united states with many people enthusiastically supporting the president's call for a wall and many people enthusiastically opposing it and the two not really seeing
12:05 am
eye to eye on anything and not really being willing to compromise when it comes to the funding issue. but with me now is colin cavell who's an associate professor of political science at bluefield state college in west virginia welcome to the program does it surprise you that. didn't didn't call a national emergency and get the military to build it will. not call now merging with the tonight and it will depend on his public opinion really what president trump is aiming for is to keep the baby intact he has approximately mr bray thirty three percent solid support among the united states population and so this whole border emergency is directed at the thirty three percent if you can see that being in his court
12:06 am
and then he can run and or the reelection in two thousand and twenty and he can run on this issue now with the democratic majority of a cow taking over they will adamantly oppose president from launch number of the best the gays and into his dealing because they are adamant as well they're adamant against the president they see the manufactured crisis they don't see it up a national emergency but the president trumps perspective because he needs that base that third. of the u.s. population it is a political crisis for him and the team from his perspective it's a national emergency but he got prime time and time for this he didn't come up with any new announcements he just went over old ground of things he said many times
12:07 am
before with the right to use the oval office for that. well when politics politicians will you know laws whatever that they're mean in order to advance their interests now you saying prime time air time but in the local area it was. jr that i live i went through all of the f.m. stations tonight during the speech and one of the f.m. radio stations carried the speech and only two of the local way they soon carried legion of course with a hymn there are many more radio stations and. only the air so much many people i think initially heard speech although it will be the only place for it's not new tomorrow oh so they're going to sleep on it now i'm honest i don't trust you to meet in the white house with congressional leaders what do expect if anything to come out of those talks. well it looks like both gore and trends
12:08 am
and they do not want to give an inch and so while president trump is trying to be conciliatory with his words but he does not want a concrete wall he will go and allow for a steel wall. and that he is offering to meet with the democratic leaders nancy follows lean to assume or tomorrow the democrats are say that all proper have to do is separate the two issues separate the issue of the border wall from the shutdown of the government. does shut down to do them a twenty second and over a hundred thousand federal employees have been laid off all and starting on friday they will not get a paycheck now once friday don and you have eight hundred people not getting the
12:09 am
pages in this debris going to see some real balls ok i appreciate your time and i would like where you are calling cavalli in west virginia thanks for that. next british m.p.'s and journalists running a gauntlet of public disapproval on their way to work back to vist frustrated at the handling of the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. are gathering outside parliament to confront m.p.'s in an increasingly aggressive way as our reports. meet an a super cheese a conservative politician and a vocal opponent of bragg's it but this week some of her opponents came to westminster and got more vocal than her. right one of a colorado if you were offended by wireless i just think this is astonishing this is this is what has happened to our country something has happened the debate over how britain's departure from the e.u.
12:10 am
should look or whether it should take place until now has turned rather ugly this is the palace of westminster is where british politicians work and the area around it is a public street as you can see anybody can walk down here there can be demonstrators as well and it's not unusual on any given day to see a politician maybe a member of parliament or even a senior minister simply walk out of here and towards abingdon green here where they might be taking part in a t.v. debate or an interview but that practice is increasingly under threat as the atmosphere here turns increasing in times over the impending gregg's that day and the fact that there is no agreed plan of action in place this was an a subaru trying to leave after the interviews. that you are going to do when it comes to the politicians aren't the only ones getting abuse from agitated members of the public sky news anchor kay burley was heckled by pro brags that protestors
12:11 am
while live on air. love her throughout the world oh brotherhood and owen jones a left wing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing protesters i believe everything going with what was coming right surely this situation outside parliament has now become an issue for parliament to deal with i must tell you to the house that it is frankly didn't total members of parliament and journalists. go about their business in fear. this situation cannot stand over sixty politicians have written a letter to london's chief of police warning of the deteriorating security situation around parliament and demanding better protection some of the systems of
12:12 am
said that a certain degree of abuse or heckling simply because of the territory of being a elected politician or just a public figure in a functioning democracy but the police now have the roman typical tasco of balancing the freedom to protest of some with protecting the safety of others including mine. we spoke to british historian and commentator wishing things that people should be able to express their views without the risk of assault we have always been divided as a society our politics is divided. our courts are divided if you look at our parliament it's actually two rows confronting each other but what's new is now you have a generation of very thin skinned snowflakes the whole are professionally insulted then you get also trying to exploit this division to put your point of view delay
12:13 am
briggs's and so on so so we again journalist are to blame for playing this one rather than actually see the winding people see their women we can always have fun we can always sort of throw to the queue at each other's ideas but we've been civilised with now it's a school it'd be your actually any mission and there's a lesson for everybody there you should not law when you portland's be virtually at the end very badly abused we should all stand up and say yes we have freedom of expression but also freedom to express our views without being insulted. fresh leaks suggest the u.k. funded influence network integrity initiative has been discussing plans to counter russian and chinese propaganda by getting the film industry on board it was only a claim the group had a team of journalists and academics working to tackle russian so-called this information by manipulating the media here to trying to investigate where
12:14 am
a good film and of the propaganda we've shown you papers that could shed light on how taxes paid by people in this country may be used to stop what russia is up to there and way beyond by all means a freshly leagues memo could help clarify the very means we'll need to go beyond old style military rumps and get entertainment out puts the draw around the nature of twenty first century conflict diffuse across society without clear boundaries at times. for now no one can say for sure who wrote it but this very false title bears the name victoria darrow he's a leading researcher at the parent body of integrity initiative and his name has been seen in earlier leaks anyway the author whatever it really was once to get as many of the elements of the entertainment industry as possible on board all in
12:15 am
a bid to deal with all that propaganda from authoritarian strongholds i.e. russia china and others and the how to use segment he suggests that experts should articulate how u.s. and other global entertainment powerhouses can improve and coordinate so that output messaging converges to both the shared democratic values but with locally relevant content see it's ok to feed people propaganda through movies t.v. shows music as long as it's the right propaganda let's read further into the paper it would be a grave oversight so i feel to focus exclusively on the usa the five eyes countries the u.s. u.k. canada australia and new zealand have unrivaled influence let's not forget other cool players worldwide even russian and chinese entertainment communities should not be ounce of bounds for western supports for example the fantastic russian film
12:16 am
leviathan. hold on leviathan that was the movie that beat the hell out of corrupt russian state and church officials. and. the fact is more than a third of its budget came from russia's government hoops but even without getting experts like martha bales and nick call artie's written to them by the way to find out if and how they're involved without getting these experts publicly or privately before relevant government committees and the core markets above hasn't the western entertainment industry already been drawing a backwards or even evil eminence of russia for decades in europe or the guardian of the leverage of a. simple
12:17 am
yes hold a. little bit. from this day forward you'll become spends. weapons in a global struggle for how well if that's not enough it might be up to the u.k. foreign office to spend some of its cash on making directors come up with scarier stuff that's of course if the leak files are real. political sociology professor david miller who's been analyzing the integrity initiative leaks says hollywood's been manipulated in the past. it's an extraordinary ambition. that you manipulate even hollywood films well an ambition which. makes you think something not quite right it's no really the kind of thing you would expect to be doing suggests to me that they are really the only the. since saying. essentially
12:18 am
in the the activities they are engaged in are morally dubious ethically g.b.'s and who almost certainly ends we're seeing backfire and we also look course at the cia and the pentagon regularly influences hollywood. make sure that the messages that they get are conducive to american people isn't so it's not clear what they're going to add to that. british study on the root causes of radicalization has shown that a feeling of social exclusion and isolation are among the main contributing factors one of the researches behind the study told us they want to understand what pushes people over the edge. every time there's a terrorist attack for every one terrorist there are dozens of sympathizers who do not go over the edge of violence so what we want to do was find some people who basically had sympathies with some of the star oh you know these movements that are
12:19 am
championed by jarvis causes but are not yet going over the edge of lance and want to see what pushes a sympathizer into someone who might be more ready to act. and that's where our experiment came in we were looking at a variety of factors specifically the rule social exclusion people feel socially excluded they're more likely to start sat realizing they're not stupid values and once those values become sacred it's a very difficult point to persuade that person to go shit with that person they're moving closer and closer towards the. so the main motivation was just let's try to combine nothing graphic research survey research in neuroscience all together so that was the motivation here's how they did it a group of thirty eight young muslim men living in and around barcelona who sympathize with radical jihadist ideology agreed to undergo tests their brains were scanned as they played a computer game that simulated social exclusion researchers concluded that the men
12:20 am
were far more likely to attach a sacred status to some issues that were not so important to them before going all the way to seeing them as worth fighting for the study claims to dispel common conception of their poverty religious conservatism or even psychosis are the main contributing factors to radicalization now things have made again the says that the role of other external factors should not be underestimated. people are somehow thinking we're saying that. you know social exclusion is the only reason for why people are radical and that's absolutely not true radicalization is a complex system with many factors coalescing together feel discriminated against can be a triggering event many people who go and carry an act of violence when you ask them what was the triggering event that made you go i'm going to get up out of my house and carry on an act of terrorism is usually because experience something of discrimination that's not to discount the rule of the recruiter or sort of the rule of radicalizing narratives or the rule of forum posts that allow us to get
12:21 am
a foothold in certain areas but this is one crucial thing at the community level that i think policymakers should be more focused. tension between the united states and turkey is growing over the american troop withdrawal from syria president of the us national security advisor on a visit to ankara slamming the conditions that have now been put on the pullout daniel hawkins has the story. to leave or not to leave that is the question or more specifically when and how as the syrian civil war draws to a close the situation in the north of the country is anything but calm it's a game of chess every player has a piece and the situation is not just black versus white and the kurdish question is once again central with john bolton visiting turkey and israel to mediate a settlement the turkish president made it very clear that any chance of a compromise is slim. because john bolton has made a grave mistake it is not possible to accept or swallow the message given by bolton
12:22 am
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. as nato allies the national security adviser had hoped the u.s. and turkey could coordinate their actions striking a balance of national interests and protecting those who are allies one day and the divisive burden the next now objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal we don't think the turks ought to want to take military action that's not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the united states so that they meet the president's requirements that the syrian opposition forces that have fought with us and not endangered. with turkish troops already on syrian soil and ankara ready to push further these opposition forces feel anything but safe until now of course the presence of u.s.
12:23 am
forces in the area has been a restraining factor on turkish ambitions to eliminate any armed kurdish. they view as terrorists but the power about it could change at any moment given trumps determination to bring troops home so our boy our young women our men they're all coming back and they're coming back now there will be a strong deliberate and orderly withdrawal of u.s. forces from syria very deliberate very orderly as regional interests clash once again if you show of the kurds viewed by many as yesterday's liberators and the brain of i still now hangs in the balance. well we discussed the standoff with modern turkish politics expert heiko and our attack and political analyst use of aaron. and totally disappointed from what is going on from their perspective maybe bolton is not representing president because president from the same something else
12:24 am
and bolton is saying something goes from turkey's perspective there is no distinction between p. and p. why the from their perspective this is a terrorist entity and they want to clear this whole corydoras the whole syrian corydoras from this entity and this is a huge headache for them this is a very pressing national security matter for turkey so it's not like it has a second decision national security is paramount to the country's health now 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. . prosecutors in germany say a suspect arrested in connection with
12:25 am
a huge data leak targeting around a thousand politicians and public figures has confessed to the crime the details. well general prosecutors say that a twenty year old suspect has confessed to being behind the huge leak of personal darter belonging to leading german politicians and celebrities not prosecutors say that he posted the darter last month in december using various twitter accounts they also say that at this stage there is no sign of any kind of third party involvement itself we were able to find the data carrier which the suspect had hidden a few days before the search after the story hit the headlines we made a backup copy of this information is now available to the investigators during the course of the interrogation the suspects said he had acted alone the investigation has so far not established any third party involvement either. well who exactly is this guy he's been courting janice he's twenty years old and he is suspected of daughter theft and leaks that targeted hundreds of german politicians and public
