this is a humanitarian crisis a crisis of the heart and the crisis of the soul. first televised address from the oval office the democrats holding the nation to run simply by continuing the government shutdown. of the world tonight. as frustrated members of the public confront them on the doorstep. like. if you were offended by violence i think this is. a member of the. party was brutally. regain consciousness he spoke to us about the attack and the

help he says he received. me against a wall clock was running down my face someone called the police and. hello it's eight pm wednesday night watching out international live with me kevin i welcome to the program but you stay with me for the next thirty minutes as well as take your top stories starting with this president trump has used his first televised address from the oval office to call for funds for his controversial us mexico border war he stopped short of declaring a national emergency in order to secure the billions of dollars he needs but the government shutdown in place it's now into a nineteenth day minutes after his speech democratic leaders hit back accusing trump of demagoguery and holding the country to ransom. democrats in congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis president trump mustapha holding nathen 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 nixon i gave them open takes a close look at how donald trump is demands for a wall of earth republicans and democrats. 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 why do wealthy politicians build walls fences and gates around their homes they don't build walls because they hate the 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 was mentioned all throughout his presidential campaign and sense he's taken office building the wall we're building the world for 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 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 because of the will from a florida state democratic party chip image season and american players who come to steve have different views to interim prime time address. he hit on every note and

you know what's holding all this up you know it's shit 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 you saying 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 pay for the wall because of tariffs that's nonsense we're lowering the tariffs will 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 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 any 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 really go into public disapproval of the way the work i did to this was straight to the hunting right now of the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. has been turning up increasingly outside parliament to confront those employees including a high profile incident this week. meet an a c three she's a conservative politician and a vocal opponent of bragg's set but this week some of how 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 it's 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 while live on air. rather her car was the order of the brotherhood and owen jones a left wing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing protesters believe everything to go with whatever was 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 couldn't tell. if the 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 of this nation's have 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 task of balancing the freedom to protest of some with protecting the safety of others including mine. you can store and i was told this is important different opinions and debate be celebrated and supported across british life. we have always been divided as a society all 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 a 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 playing this round rather than actually see why i think you would say there women we can always have fun we can always sort of try to ridicule each other's ideas but we've been civilised with a now it's a school aged beyond actually any mission and that's a lesson for everybody that you should know law when you ordinance the verb really at that very be abused we should all stand up and say yes we have freedom of expression but also freedom to express our views without being insulted. developing

story next year the european union's expressed anger over a diplomatic grade for its officials in washington. this is no way to treat partners especially as neither the u. high representative nor the un was formally notified of this change as would be expected on the customer a diplomatic practice or whatever came a parent to the washington ambassador at the funeral of george h.w. bush when the usual pecking order of those being seated was over to traditionally the u.s. state department calls up the longest serving official first with david o'sullivan expected to be among one of the earliest to be cold but this time he wasn't at each other dubinsky picks up the story of a seemingly growing divide in u.s. relations and this comes as you say it's difficult juncture in the relations between the e.u. and the usa president trump has made no bones of his criticism of the e.u. suggesting at times that the body is just too bureaucratic and even more criticism

was heaped on the e.u. when the secretary of state might pompei i recently visited brussels even our european friends sometimes say we're not acting in the world's interest is the e.u. ensuring that interests of countries and their citizens are placed before those bureaucrats here in brussels these are valid questions the u.s. is also even threatened a trade war with the european union suggesting it wants to slack on tariffs to products that it imports from the european union so all of this is quite difficult for those relations now in terms of what the european union has said not very much the u.s. of course is an important trading partner for the book but we did have some strong words from donald tusk last year. but frankly speaking. europe should be grateful.

he has realized that if you knew that. you will find iran at the end of your. well that statement was back in may of two thousand and eighteen off to the us decided that it was going to withdraw from the rain in new clear accord and since then the e.u. has been pretty timid in the way that it is just scribed administration of donald trump two thousand and eighteen a very difficult a rocky relationship between the two it seems that those transatlantic relationships are going to remain sour in two thousand and nineteen as well. so far the e.u. sort of played the significance of this latest spot a spokesperson for the bloc to stress that despite policy disagreements transatlantic ties remain strong greek m.e.p. still as close to told us though that he's concerned by the u.s. president's unpredictability right now. even enemies are in for when they're having deplore normal diplomatic relations they are in for when each other this was done

in a very brutal way and this reflects the the the cards are and the taxes of the administration i'm afraid president i know that this than anything about two multicultural societies he only see the things black and white and then he only cares about the money you can understand that the issue for european union that the countries they were fighting each other with ten million dead you know casualties now there are states there are discussing the over a table i don't think he has very very clear idea what covered in the in europe during the first in the second world war and the real problem is is that we are covering a lot of things one after the other of the the drug administration things aggressive against. against anybody he thinks are there certain moment he does not want you know now he he does not want the european union because his is he says your

appearance said that we trade the underground east. next member of the alternative germany party was vanity big novel monday evenings who can consciousness we can report he described for us the attack that send shock waves through the country's political sphere. i was at a new function organized by the way as a korean newspaper i love the party 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 i went through the square next to the city theater normally no people them the only people with room at the brisas were loading their car i went past the around 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 a wall block was running down my face someone called the police an ambulance. for

speaking earlier to this channel police had initially called the politically motivated party colleagues of mr magnus describing it as a dark day for democracy however the investigation hasn't yielded anything conclusive to establish whether or not politics did actually play a role in what. paul asleep has been following the developments for us while 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 magnate sixty six year old politician from the far right alternative for germany party a if he had just exited a local theater where 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 laceration to more for it injuries to my left. one of the weighbridge three individuals had 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 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 an assassination attempt saying that

part of the blame must be borne by mainstream politicians and the media. this is a international still to come the turkish president's late into the trump administration for lucky and clear policy on syria just one of the stories about after the break. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up 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 on the 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 of the foreign minister or the president actually ask your opinion when that happens you are on your own and young of the two you actually. have to say what you think. again tension between the united states and turkey is growing over america's troop withdrawal from syria president heard on snub the u.s. national security adviser a visit to ankara well also slamming the conditions had now been set out for the

pullout is done. to leave or not to leave that is the question or 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 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 charts 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's 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 ankara 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 now change at any moment given trump the terminations to bring troops home there would be a strong deliberate and orderly withdrawal of u.s.

forces from syria 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 the turkish foreign minister has some other ideas on how to make the u.s. departure less harmful to the region the u.s. faces some difficulties in the process of withdrawing troops from syria we want to coordinate this process with russia and iran it is necessary not to allow terrorists to occupy the territory after u.s. troops leave. well we started out as regional experts who say turkey is frustrated because members of trump's team are giving out different information of assyria. 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 a 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 was expecting what he got in turkey is not going to bow down to the u.s. . the russian lawyer the central collusion claims in the twenty six thousand u.s. presidential election has been charged with obstructing justice in a separate case went on a business because no wanted america of relegation shoot involved in

a money laundering scheme that karen's got the details the time the events on that sky is in the news again this time with charges over this civil case being brought against her she of course became well known after she was named a key person of interest in the robot miller probe into suspected russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election all over that infamous meeting which took place in trump tower between vessel next guy and donald trump judio which was alleged to have been aimed at dishing the dirt on hillary clinton ahead of the u.s. elections well this next guy stay. to time and time again that that particular meeting had nothing to do with politics and nothing to do with russia regardless she's been bombarded with accusations of working for the russian government something she has continuously denied or two years on and now vessel in its sky is back in the spotlight facing charges of obstruction of justice in yet another case involving the u.s. and russia she said to have made a false and misleading declaration to the judge overseeing the twenty fifteen case

by stating she had not participated in the drafting of a russian government's response to the u.s. requests for records however u.s. investigators have since uncovered e-mails which contradict that claim all this in its gaia talking to a russian channel said she had yet to find out the full details of the charges but suspect that they're aimed at discrediting her as a lawyer and she believes the u.s. may have various reasons why they may want to do that. i think all this aimed at preventing me from carrying out my professional activities in a way that doesn't suit the u.s. it's maybe connected to the magness character corruption in congress and the judicial system and my knowledge of information that they don't want to be made public for more than two years on from the us elections if vessel needs guy had hopes that her reputation may be on its way to recovery following that miller probe

what these latest charges have put paid to that your nuclear report milk you posted on the story it's twenty five to twenty six minutes past eight o'clock in the c evening here in moscow also much more of you don't come for me for now it's covered on saying thanks for watching this program. country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's trying to think and hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius is the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point around much on what has gone something we always are on the margins something was called the culture is moving forward because. we're starting west with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into

the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now governor getting more ground zero of the we may be completely different in this. 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. with the whole make this manufacture come sentenced to a public will. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the final clearing go round lives only the one percent. with no middle of the room sick moves. to lose.

their bread for a single purpose. of a soup of. training very young. they months of intensive school. reps. and they save lives. 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 there are already several generations of them i just got this memo from the stargate adventures office that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the

walls 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 are surely we can risk some discomfort and easiness for. greetings and salutation. prepare yourselves talk 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 it 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 right.
