thousands of americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country and thousands more lives will be lost if we don't act right now. a crisis of the hearts and souls. from the oval office democrats say he's holding the nation to ransom by continuing the government shutdown. journalists face an increasingly aggressive backlash over. members of the public. if you are offended by that i think this is. true.

also this hour a new study suggests that social exclusion is one of the main contributing factors to radicalization. funded influence group or trying to get the film industry to how counteract russian and chinese propaganda. see international law welcome to the program for president trump has used his first televised address from the oval office to call for funds for his border wall he stopped short of declaring a national emergency to secure funding but he's kept the government shutdown in place nonetheless now going into his nineteenth day minutes after his speech democratic leaders hit back calling from his manufacturing the crisis. law

enforcement professionals every quest a five point seven trillion dollars for a physical barrier this one area is absolutely critical to border security president trump must stop holding people hostage stop manufacturing a crisis and must reopen the government 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 only 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 to manufacture a price that's stoked fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration senator chuck schumer has repeatedly supported a physical barrier in the past along with many other democrats they change their mind only after i was elected president. next takes a closer look at how with the us go 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 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 eye to eye on anything and not really being willing to compromise when it comes to the funding issue kind of mopin that well american political commentators steve malzberg says donald trump resorted to an oval office address because of the democrats that lock and mounting media pressure. i think he's saving the declaration of a national emergency for when these negotiations go nowhere and pressure starts to build because people you know are getting their paycheck c.n.n. i was watching them and they said he lives should they allow him to do it they were fact checking his speech in real time i mean that's unprecedented they do it for

palosi insurer where they they tell the truth all the time he's looked in the eyes of the children and the husbands of the wives who are widowed and these are real people who are dead because of illegals coming into this country so i think he resonated. an emotional level with many americans. british m.p.'s and journalists running a gauntlet of public disapproval on the way to work activists frustrated at the handling of the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. and gathering outside parliament to confront these in an increasingly aggressive way this public and i reports. meet on a subaru she's 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 political or you know 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. 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 interview. that you are going to lose it 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 while live on air. flow her world the world. worth and owen jones a left wing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing protesters believe everything to go with. the right surely the situation outside parliament has now become an issue for parliament to deal with i must say to the house that it is frankly didn't totally. if 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 this nation's

i've 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 here now have the roman typical tasco of balancing the freedom to protest of some with protecting the safety of others including mine. and boykin westminister well you can historian and commentator told us he thinks different opinion should be celebrated and supported across british society. 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 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 all this so you're eyeing to exploit this division to put your point of view delay briggs's and so on so so we are good journalists are to blame for playing this round rather than actually syria winding people see their women we can always have fun we can always sort of throw to the to cue each other ideas but we've been civilized with now it is. beyond actually any mission and there's a lesson for everybody there you should not law when you portland's be virtually at invariably abused we should all stand up and say yes we have freedom of expression but also freedom to express our views without being insulted. specialist hazardous material teams are at work in a number of international consulates in the australian cities of melbourne and camera after schools of suspicious packages were delivered to the offices some of the properties have been evacuated or marked down cording to reports up to twenty

two sites have been targeted the diplomatic offices of the united states britain spain germany and greece are believed to be among them police say the packages and the circumstances around the incidents are now being investigated. fresh league suggests the u.k. funded influence network integrity initiative has been discussing plans to counter so-called 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. investigates where a good film turns into 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 room 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 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 boast a 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 always 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 out of bounds for western supports for example the fantastic russian film leviathan hold on leviathan that was the movie that beat the hell out of corrupt russian state and church officials. 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. simply yes hold a. little bit away. from this day forward you will become spends. weekends and includes struggle with 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 league files are real the integrity initiative

admitted its documents. been hacked but denied any covert type of activities british opposition m.p. chris williamson whose party leaders also allegedly been targeted by the organization conducted his own investigation into how it operates he shared his findings with our teams going underground which you can watch right here later today. what was it like what you went to the registered address of the institute whether to their return addresses the they have a registered address in scotland and it's at the end of this remote dirt track actually it was the dead of night when we arrived there and it was rather spooky i've got to say and when i reached the end of the truck i was confronted with this derelict mill there wanted to lights all the in a couple of the units there and did speak to some of the people who had businesses located in the at the mill they've never heard of the introduced a craft one of them said dad did mention something that was in the newspaper about some shady organization based in which the village close by but that was as much as

he knew about it then went to their offices in london just near temple station and then on this is a state funded organization bearing in mind as well i am a member of parliament here and therefore because we were being stonewalled by ministers in terms of the written palm and three questions and the oral questions that we that we tabled on the floor of the house of commons of that will try and ask questions directly to the organizations if they can clarify anything and i was met with a very hostile reception i mean shouted out the door slammed in my face now for an organization which is receiving nearly two and a half million pounds in the last eighteen months from the government in this country to the taxpayer from the taxpayer up saluted to treat a member of parliament in that way. poses a number of questions and. a british study on the root

causes of radicalization has shown that a feeling of social. collusion and isolation are among the main contributing factors one of the researchers behind the study told us they wanted 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 suit a piece of with some of these oh you know these movements that are championed by jarvis causes but are not yet going over the edge of lengths and want to see what pushes a sympathizer into someone who might be more ready to act violent 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 sacrificing their non stupid values and once those values become sacred it's a very difficult point to persuade that person to negotiate with that person

they're moving closer and closer towards the church so the main motivation was just let's try to combine ethnographic research survey research in neuroscience all together so that was the motivation. here's how that study was carried out a group of thirty eight young muslim men living in and around barcelona who sympathized with radical jihadist ideologies agreed to undergo tests their brains were scanned as they played a computer game that simulated socially speaking our researchers concluded that the men 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 conceptions that poverty religious conservatism or even psychosis are the main contributing factors to radicalization now fees have made again says that the role of other external factors should not be underestimated people are somehow thinking we're saying. you know social exclusion is the only reason for white people radicalized that's absolutely not true radicalization is a complex system with many factors coalescing together 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 out of my house to carry out an act of terrorism is usually because i experienced discrimination that's not to discount the all recruiter all of radicalizing narratives or the rule of holes. allowed to get a foothold in certain areas but this is one crucial thing at the community level it . more focus you're with r t turkey in the united states are at loggerheads over the kurds in syria and german authorities think they've got the culprit behind a massive data breach those stories right ahead. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the

world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spear in dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the most important moments are when the principals of the foreign minister or the president actually ask your opinion when that happens you are on your own and you're not just the two you actually. have to say what you think.

between the united states and turkey is growing over the american troop withdrawal from syria president of the u.s. national security adviser on a recent trip to ankara slamming the conditions that have now been set for the pull out. has the story. to leave or not to leave that is the question well more specifically when and how as a 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 on 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 shots of a compromise is slim there because 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. 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 undertake military action that is not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the united states so that they meet the president's requirement that the syrian opposition forces that have fought with us and not endangered. with turkish troops already on syrian soil and anger ready to push further these opposition forces feel anything but safe until now of course the

presence of u.s. forces in the area has been a restraining factor on turkish ambitions to eliminate any armed kurdish groups they view as terrorists but the power balance could change at any moment even trumps the terminations 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 the future of the kurds viewed by many as yesterday's liberators and the brain of eisel now hangs in the balance we sounded out a couple of regional experts who say turkey is frustrated because members of trump's team don't seem to be on the same page over syria. totally disappointed from what is going on from their perspective maybe bolton is not representing the

president because president from the same something else and bolton is saying something goes from turkey's perspective there is no distinction between k. and p y d 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. . headway appears to have been made in the investigation of

a recent mass data breach in germany the private information of thousands of high profile figures compromised if they were to say a suspect is now cooperating with the probe of reports. well german prosecutors say that a twenty year old suspect has confessed to being behind the huge leak of personal daughter belonging to a leading german politicians and celebrities not prosecutors say that he posted the daughter 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 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 in the course of the interrogation the suspect said he had acted alone the investigation 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 figures now he himself says that he was acting out of anger on their statements they hack and the disseminated information included details such as phone numbers credit card numbers e-mail and home addresses photographs and personal correspondence prosecutors say that the twenty year old has confessed but at the same time his claimed twitter account says that he knows the presumed hacker but distance and same self from him where we've known each other for years and definitely distancing myself from the actions of no router and i'm not calling this a good thing if i thought it was i would never have spoken to journalists prosecutors say that no political motivation has yet been found and the investigation is ongoing meanwhile the country's interior minister has congratulated all of those involved in the investigation on what he says is a great success but should use for now thanks for watching your next update from me

in the moscow news team is in just over half an hour so you then. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press this is what i'm up for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. they sit. in a world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. we're going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the well being of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the secretary defense's office says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money on those with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for

a war surely we can risk some discomfort for for uneasiness . this is a story of one of africa's giants. know his teeth that shot. 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. his name is isaac a giant power korat. 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 up open which stands for development of land my.
