this is a humanitarian crisis of the heart and a crisis of the. border wall in his. continuing the government. members of the public. like. you were offended by this is. a contributing factor.

to the world international. company story. 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 the billions of dollars but has kept the government shutdown in place which is entering its ninth day minutes after the speech democratic leaders hit by calling trump a liar and his money fracturing the situation democrats in congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis president trump mustapha holding nothing people hostage might stop manufacturing

a crisis stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration and must reopen the government the federal government remains shut down for one reason and one reason only because democrats will not fund border security no president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down 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 caleb takes a closer look at how the u.s. government crisis has been playing out before 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 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 why do wealthy politicians build walls fences and gates around their homes they don't build walls because they hate that people on the but because they love the people on the inside the wall has been a very big part of donald trump's political identity it was mentioned all throughout his presidential campaign and sense he's taken office building the wall we're building the world from the 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 world 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 we got the thoughts of former florida state democratic party chairman mitch cesar on american political commentator steve most bird who had differing views on trump's primetime address he hit on every note and you know

what's holding all this up you know it's to keeping the government shutdown and holding all this up is the fact that nancy pelosi says no wall not one penny that's not negotiating this was a purely political attempt to help his poll numbers where sixty three percent of the people in america now say they don't want the war and they want to turn back on his statements about mexico is still going to. paper the wall because of tariffs that's nonsense we're lowering the tariff so be less money coming in it's exactly the opposite almost every democrat including schumer voted for a fence a few years ago with obama and love the fence and make speeches about how they need a wall obama made speeches about it now it's immoral because it's trump who wants it so please trump will declare a national emergency reopen the government to take the funding from the military and guess what the democrats won't like that either so nothing donald trump could do they won't negotiate with them and the movie makes it good to criticize so you

know it is what it is that's the political reality today when i think backs of times of presidents democrat or republican who asked for national time like candy during the cuban missile crisis or obama when we killed osama bin ladin or bush with nine eleven those were real national situations the problem is is that when we have a real national crisis two thirds of this country will not believe president trump based on all his past behavior. british politicians and journalists are running a gauntlet so of public disapproval on their way to work activists frustrated at the humbling of the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. have been turning up increasingly signing parliament to confront m.p.'s including the high profile incident this week. meet on a c three 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 ha. what a color you are offended by the irish times i 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 it's why of course. 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 lose your identity and 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. rather her car was the brotherhood and owen jones a left wing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing protesters believed everything to go with whatever was right surely the 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. lists. 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 politicians have said that a certain degree of abuse or heckling simply because of the territory of being a and. politician or just a public figure in a functioning democracy but the police here now have the element difficult task of balancing the freedom to protest and some with protecting the safety of others including my. colleague boyko well you care historian and commentator on tell darwish told us it's important that different opinions and debate be celebrated on supported right 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 confronting each other but what. is now is you have a generation of a 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 briggs's and so on so so we are good journalists are to blame for this round rather than actually serious minded people say they're women we can always how far we can always sort of throw to ridicule each other's ideas but we've been civilised with that it's a school eat it beyond actually any mission and there's a lesson for everybody there you should not log when you ordinance 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. a politician from the alternative for germany party who was violently beaten up on monday evening has regained consciousness he described for us the attack in the city of braman that sent shock waves through the country's political spear. i was at a new function organized by the way as a career newspaper i loved the part of shortly before six and went to the car park to my car i took a shortcut through an area i don't really like that was a mistake so i went through the square next to the city theater normally no people them the only people that were the. loading the car i went bust thirty metres away the point at which i was knocked unconscious when i came round i realised i was lying in the street and someone was shaking my asking if my wallet and mobile phone were still in me that person then prop me against the wall block was running

down my face someone called the police an ambulance. or a fellow party members of mr magnets were quick to call the politically motivated describing it as quote a dark day for democracy however the investigation hasn't healed and the thing conclusive to establish whether politics played any role artie's policy or has been following the story for us well the investigation is still ongoing the incident itself happened on monday evening in the northern german city of women and as you heard there mr frank magnet sixty six year old politician from the far right alternative for germany party a if he had just exited endo coffee a way he had attended a new year's celebration he was making his way home when he was attacked by three unknown assailants now those three men are still at large mr magnet is still in hospital where he has been but covering from a serious head wound now this is not the first time that members of the a.f.p. have been threatened with violence but certainly this brutal assault marks

a new low in that level of violence. are sustained to bone deep lacerations more for it injuries to my left and the one of the labor is three individuals have been walking behind me for some time so they were conspicuous because they were wearing who this guy. i didn't see them. now but despite mr magnets version of events the police have published the first results of their investigation they've been talking to eyewitnesses and they've been looking at surveillance material which they say contradicts the claims that there was some kind of wooden being or the instrument or object that was used instead they say what happened is that he was followed by two minutes from behind there was a third man behind them they then attacked him and as he fell to the ground they fled the scene now the incident has been denounced by politicians across the german political spectrum there's also been a statement that has been issued by the f.t.

parliamentary caucus and they have called this and assess a nation attempt saying that part of the blame must be borne by mainstream politicians and the media. a british study on the root causes of rather colognes action feelings of social exclusion and isolation are among the main contributing factors one of the researchers behind the study told us they wanted to understand what pushes people to kill for an ideology. every time it is a terrorist attack for everyone to terrorists 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 super peace with some of the oh you do these movements that are championed by jarvis causes but are not yet going over the edge of language and want to see what pushes the 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 sat realizing they're not stupid values and once those values become sacred it's a very difficult point to persuade the person to go shit with that person they're moving closer. so the main motivation was just let's try to combine ethnographic research survey research into neuroscience all together so that was the motivation well let's break down the study a group of thirty eight young muslim men living in iran barcelona who sympathize with radical jihadist ideologies agreed to undergo tests their brains were scanned they played a computer game that simulates social exclusion 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 killing for the study claims to dispel common conceptions that poverty religious conservatism or even psychosis are the main

contributing factors to run a collation nothing against ses out there all of the other external factors shouldn't 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 an act of terrorism is usually because i experienced some discrimination that's not to discount the rule of the recruiter of the rule of radicalizing narratives or the rule of forum posts allowed to get a foothold in certain areas but this is one crucial thing at the community level that i think policymakers should be more focused on. a shark reported diplomatic

done great in washington has put in your officials up in arms that story and more in less than one thousand seconds time. you know world of big. law and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. the most important moments are when the principals the minister or the

president actually ask your opinion when that happens you are on your own. to you actually. have to say what you think. back to the program on a par in grade in diplomatic status for european officials in the us seen washington roundly criticized over the manner in which the trump administration handled it the e.u. says at no point was it notified its status had been dropped to an organization instead of a state and it only became known during the funeral of george h. w.

bush for more details on this let's cross live to charlotte. charlotte this seemed to come to the fore. the funeral talk us through. well what's happened now is a group of parliamentarian says actually written to the u.s. congress saying it's very unhappy with the white house's approach to transatlantic relations with the e.u. now this comes after you mentioned that the passage of the u.s. was apparently downgraded in a diplomatic snub to be permanently downgraded on what's described as the list of the diplomatic list of precedents now this is a list which suggests what. big function state functions or the funeral of former president they had to be cool to perhaps pay their respects and it emerged during the funeral of the former president george bush that the e.u.'s ambassador to the u.s. should be called maybe tenth or or twentieth on the list if fact he wasn't called

until the very end to pay his respects raising eyebrows and these. parliamentarians also firas but apparently the e.u. wasn't even notified of this downgrade take a look at the lid that they've written to the u.s. congress this is no way to treat pardons the special is never the u. high representative nor the u.s. was formally notified of this change as would be expected on the customer a diplomatic practice. well all see has contacted the u.s. state department to see if that is a permanent downgrade but because of the shut that's underway at the u.s. at the moment we've received no response now at the end of that letter the e.u. parliamentarian is gone say that they hope that she thousand nine hundred can bring a better relations with the trumpet ministration but that could be difficult to negotiate trump has made no bones about his criticism of the e.u.

describing it as being too bureaucratic and when the us secretary of state was recently in brussels he had this to say things. even our european friends sometimes say we're not acting in the world's interest is the you ensuring the interests of countries and their citizens are placed before those bureaucrats here in brussels these are valid questions. well there's also been threats from the u.s. about a possible trade war with the e.u. the idea of slapping on tariffs of any products that it imports from the e.u. so for you you parliamentarians of kind of held back because the u.s. is an important trading partner but there were some strong words last year from donald to asc. but frankly speaking. europe should be grateful to my president.

he has made of realized that if you knew that and. you will find around at the end of your. so perhaps not really the strongest woods that donald could have used and those words came off to the usa i decided that it was going to pull out of the iranian nuclear cooled a difficult relationship to negotiate back in two thousand and eighteen it looks like two thousand and nineteen could be equally as sour. i've been part of this hour a charlotte devinsky show to thank you. well for more insights on this we go to brussels we're joined by scottish m.e.p. david coburn from the group europe of freedom direct democracy david welcome to the program what did you make of this apart and political snub i don't from towards a you diplomats it. was not surprising really european union being extremely anti-american we see that's all

the time one of the reasons britain's leaving the european union is because we want to increase our friendship with the united states have trade treaties with the united states we don't think the last possible through the you quite frankly the european union is not a country it never has been it's simply an economic arrangement and that's the problem the european union have go out they don't realise the commission think of their country and they're not they're not elected by anyone so therefore they are just an international organization and quite frankly should be treated as such and it will britain has an ambassador in the united states france has an ambassador united states germany has and bassy united states those are the people the americans should be speaking to not the european union to just a trade agreement it's an elected bureaucrats and quite frankly they're only interested in helping bureaucrats the interest in helping countries it is a major major trade bloc though isn't it i'm nuts what donald trump has said his

stall up by getting good relations with such big areas of business brussels says' david it wasn't informed in any way in advance do you know expect the youth to attempt to hit back in response. well i think it would be against the interests of all the nations in europe for that to happen i think they should just accept it that they are only. an international trade organization they are nothing more not country they may pretend they are. they may think they are but they are not then we have this ludicrous anthem and this ludicrous flag hey you know the star-spangled banner. and bowed to joy but quite frankly that does not make the my country i know would never agree to that when we were in britain join the european union we joined the arrangement in economic arrangement we did not join a nation state so they should just understand they are

a nation state and just live with it double tusky might have heard just earlier and made the comment with friends like this who needs enemies that was a by the trumpet ministration six months old david would you say that europe is now trying to salvage ties with american stand the opposite way around if you will. go through this maybe no one no one elected don't go to school but a lot of americans elated donald trump so quite frankly new who cares what double to scots to say about anything he's simply a bureaucrat nothing more nothing less what's important is what do the british government say or the french government say or do the german governments and all the states of europe has nothing to do with them they are just simply a bureaucratic organization who are only interested and helping fellow bureaucrats are not interested in anything else but there's a lot of the analysts trying to work out just what led to this can you think of

a specific incident that triggered the diplomatic downgrade from state to organization or is it just the cumulative dance that we've seen between us e.u. relations. it's a cumulative. can you know can can go on ration of over events but the fact is the they have been so militantly anti american as so militantly anti president trump the americans elected president trump as their president democratically and the european union have no. no right to interfere in that and their criticism has been incessant i quite frankly they are puppets they have not got the right to to make these remarks and they are not elected by anyone there are appointed so quite frankly should know their place scottish i mean china americans put them in their place and i'm very glad they've done so thanks david sad from the f d group in

europe our freedom and democracy live from brussels. ok we're back going underground in moments join me again in thirty for all your latest whedon state news updates but next is tyrrell on the team in washington. when else should seem wrong. but i'll. just don't. let me. get to sleep out just to come after. and in detroit because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

what is happening with trump's decision to leave syria and are you ready for the twenty twenty presidential sweepstakes also is there any integrity in the integrity an issue. u.s. 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 wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the serger defense's office that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others 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 easiness.

greetings and salutation. prepare yourselves hawk watchers because we are living in one of those special times in human history that will forever be remembered and talked about long after we're gone it's one of those moments that historians will look back on exclaiming it to be one of the real turning points in human history now whether it's a turn to success or failure good or bad it is entirely up to us and the decisions we as a society make in the next five ten twenty years i'm speaking of course about humanity's addiction to fossil fuels of the current push debate and war to break us from this addiction and move us towards a future of green energy and a healthy thriving environment. this war is taking place all around us affecting all living things on the battlefields are taking shape right before our eyes and if

you're living just outside of vancouver british columbia in the great northern nation of canada the battle that battle is quite literally happening right before your eyes where the hereditary leaders and other members of the british columbia's we suit and first nation people through a series of checkpoints and camps are protesting the building of a six point two billion dollar natural gas pipeline by coastal gas link a subsidiary of the energy infrastructure giant the trans canada corporation and sadly my friends the battle is heating up as these star vancouver reports that fourteen were arrested after a checkpoint camp was abandoned by a massive fallen tree and a barrier of flame as dozens of royal canadian mounted police officers finally pushed past the barricade to set up to bar entry to the traditional territories of the we suit and people the aggressive handling of the situation by the royal canadian mounted police even.
