so. i. believe.

this is day to day just to. see. british prime minister. for the top stories of the week and the headlines of today welcome to the week. protests with demonstrators certainly keeping up the pressure on the government. in the midst.

oh. the first tensions are rising here the up to three or three in paris one of the protests in the city one of many protests taking place across france we have had violence here in new york to trails. the outlook for. you. because. there's water cannons now in full force trying to push protesters away.

that water cannon and tear gas plumes coming up from the ground we've seen the protesters throwing a projectiles at the police we've seen the police responding. to gas that's just being dispersed those flash pulls and those cast ballots as well as what looked like to be stun can aides and a mobile police force now you can see running in the hole dressed in black you could just see behind me that is a little fire that's just the period that's been coming along people reveling around that as that i guess comes in the air that tear gas is just moving we can hear it now and people are moving to want why when i have improved as that is tear gas of being up. pushdowns there are five thousand offices

taking part in the security all of paris eight thousand across from people i've spoken to the chelation say yes this is act nine this is the ninth consecutive weekends but this is not going to stop this is going to continue. and it was certainly not the only the french capital that experience protests on saturday in not thousands took to the streets with police deploying tear gas on the crowds and in lille hundreds marched to pay tribute to the victims of the protests at the end they released yet a balloon in the air and laid flowers to. the u.s. government shutdown moved into his twenty third day becoming the longest in the history of the country and this week has seen accusations flying back and forth between democrat leaders and donald trump. democrats in congress have refused to

acknowledge the crisis president trump mustapha holding murtha 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. on wednesday at the u.s. president's stormed out of its talks with his democratic counterparts branding them a total waste of time he tweeted that when house speaker nancy pelosi refused to approve funding for his border wall he simply told her bye bye. well

a former florida state democratic party chairman and american political commentator steve have rather different views on the border will shut down. he hit on every note and you know what's holding all this up you know it's just 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 would 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 and 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 a 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 and to make the case for the border will travel to the mexican border and the u.s. state of texas law that he was shown some of the contraband you frosting into america.

this is not a manufactured here. when i took the oath of all i swore to protect our country and that is what i will always do my administration has presented to congress with

a detailed proposal to secure the border and stop the criminal gangs drug smugglers and human trafficking. and while the standoff over the border wall continues the media is not stepping aside with some channels going further than others and simply fanning the flames of course for the republicans take a look at what this local fox affiliate did with donald trump speech to the nation earlier this week now before to appears to be doctored showing donald trump sticking out his tongue between sentences which he didn't do in the original video now the news director of q thirteen admitted this was problematic this does not meet our editorial stand and we regret if it is seen as betraying the president in the negative light even before the speech we heard a new. voices calling for it not to be aired like they've done with other presidents and other times the networks should refuse to turn over the airwaves to

donald trump tonight for what they know objective way to be a steady stream of lies first of all just because john wants to address the nation doesn't mean network should air otherwise they're just passing on his lies unfiltered and some of the fact checking also got interesting for example the terms claim that ninety percent of the heroin in the united states comes from over the border was widely criticized because most of that comes through legal ports of entry and a wall wouldn't really do much to change that however one claim that donald trump made about two thirds of women who were smuggled across the border being raped in the process turned out to be true so conveniently c.b.s. then removed it from their fact check and us mainstream media continues to show this reel of footage of u.s. border patrol agents dumping out and kicking over water that was left for migrants in the hot desert areas here's video of border patrol agents dumping water on the ground water that was meant to be left for migrants this is from the two thousand

based aid group now the video is supposed to be an example of cruelty and heartlessness by immigration and forces and it certainly is however the video first surfaced in two thousand and thirteen and it was filmed back in two thousand and eleven these were obama's guys they have nothing to do with trump's border patrol and it's worth noting that obama actually deported more immigrants than any other president in u.s. history washington d.c. is in a state of paralysis the government is shut down donald trump is demanding funding for his border wall and the democrats are adamant that they will not give it to him it seems like the partisanship and division that is so widespread in washington d.c. has now found its way onto americans airwaves. r.t. new york. with just days to go before a crucial brooks had voted. parliament on tuesday to reserve i had a busy week trying to push through her divorce plan but instead of the backing that

she was hoping for the british prime minister instead faced a barrage of criticism once again. is dead is the deadest. i believe it is possible to have a future relationship which is deep in place with the european union that gives us the freedom to do what we want to do. i mean it's just been recklessly wasting time holding the country to ransom with the threat of no deal the prime minister of peace the facts there is little support for a deal or no deal in this. why on earth would we walk away from this to be frank i have lost trust in the prime minister's ability to negotiate a good do. if this deal is rejected is that we have the risk of. securing your car making derogatory

comments about that on the subject of bricks it happens to be. affix to or in the windscreen of my wife's car yes i'm sure all the owner moved gentleman would suggest. i was a wife is somehow the property chattel. for now it seems to reason may could be forced to draft a new deal as the current one is not expected to pass on tuesday and with a growing number of m.p.'s expressing their opposition to the prime minister's plan another option is that the u.k. leaves the e.u. and this is the without any deal in place i mean the uncertainty there have also been calls for an extension of article fifty which would give the u.k. more time to negotiate a divorce. has ruled out calling a second referendum but that too could ultimately be yet another possibility is

artie's poly boy. 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 or to win it 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. love her for the world oh god of earth and owen jones a left wing journalist and author was taunted by a group of right wing protesters i believe everything to go with. the 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 if members of parliament and journalists. go about their business in. this situation. over sixty politicians have written a letter to london's chief of police warning of the deteriorating security situation around paul de mint and demanding better protection so will this nation's i've said that a certain degree of abuse so heckling simply because of the territory of being a elected politician or just a public figure in a functioning democracy but the police it now has the element difficult task of balancing the freeing them to protest of some with protecting the safety of all those including mine. with the top stories of the week and of today your weekly

continues in just a moment. i think it's gone into a nihilistic fever. thank you gonna hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the show it's the genius. of the south american hero this is a weak point around which alan is going to say we always are on the margins some. are saying party. oh. we're starting west with is to begin to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly the beach i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground on the net it may be completely different but in this job. as

a spy you have to really split your own personality into two you that is the committed jihad this that was still alive within me and then there is the. who wanted to counter everything they want to do and then try and dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good doctor and noted that to them you have to fully your own family in order to fool the. good of you to show your sunday with us here about see the police in the german city of britain and have released a video of monday's attack on an m.p. from the un team i go into alternative for germany party it shows three men approaching sixty six year old member frank magnets from behind a tree run up to him and attack him before they flee leaving the victim on the ground the police investigation as we understand it is ongoing mr frank magnet's

suffered serious injuries and remains hospitalized the a.f.p. described the incident as an assassination attempt or magnet spoke to r.t. about the attack. i was at the new year function organized by the wiser courier newspaper ill of the party shortly before six and went to the car park to my car i took a short cut through an area i don't really like there was a mistake and i went through the square next to the cd theatre there are normally no people there the only people there were there were two laborers who loading their car and i went past them then around thirty meters away or so came the point at which i was knocked unconscious when he came round when i realised i was lying in the street and someone was shaking my arm and asking if my wallet and my by phone were still in me that person then dropped me against a wall lot was running down my face or someone called the police in an ambulance last friday and if the office and lower saxony was targeted in another attack no

one was injured but the blast caused damage to the building as well as to neighboring properties and via three suspects have since been detained police are working on the assumption that the attack was politically motivated by german lawyer and media pundit maximillian told us that if the members don't feel safe in many parts of the country there is an atmosphere in the country that everything which is right wing. conservative. man is and is evil and i think there are some crazies and some critics of those who believe that they don't have the right to do good while these acts which are regretted either that or do you people but in sex and the there is no problem there is that one station there is a public hearing if you will to to hold it but when you on brain or. parts of the letter it's possible to organize a demonstration or to have a public hearing the for instance included of course public hearing of sweeney

members of parliament and it couldn't be protected by the local police that means we have such an tight until the far left wing extremists all over today but the conditions especially. very important makes them or ready it possible to have ordinary political life. the u.s. secretary of state has lashed out at the obama administration's middle east policies and called for a new chapter in fighting extremists. also highlighted the main directions of current u.s. policy in the middle east but his speech in cairo did sometimes echo one that barack obama made in that same city he is. i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world. at the age of self-inflicted american shame is over and so are the policies that produce so

much needless suffering. now comes the real new beginning. here to iran's leaders and people that my country is prepared to move for the president has reversed our willful blindness to the danger of the regime and withdrew from the failed nuclear deal with its false promises. the us we imposed sanctions should never have been lifted. because commitment. indeed none of us should tolerate these extremists. the president has made the decision to bring our troops home from syria we always do and now is the time airstrikes in the region will continue as targets arise we will keep working with our partners in the coalition to defeat isis we will continue to hunt down terrorists who seek a safe havens in libya and in yemen. speech comes during a controversial phase of the u.s. campaign in syria while withdrawing its troops from the region the united states

has recently stepped up the number of strikes. expands on that. with every u.s. intervention the question of when why and if a tool to withdraw its forces has sooner or later taken center stage and both debate and controversy syria is the latest example and how much confusion this discussion has already caused. the first problem to solve is how the withdrawal will look it still remains a mystery not only to the world but seemingly also to u.s. officials themselves they're all coming back and they're coming back now they said here recently that we have more time is of no if you were to were going to be removing our troops i never said we're doing exactly. what your wives are time when you want to said four months ago this is your time with dr who do you think they should have heard that word oh we're withdrawing is it mission accomplished as with

george bush's iraq war speech things that look that clear and simple. and the biggest problem of all just how will the u.s. balance the interests of its permanent and temporary allies in the region we're going to be discussing the president's decision to withdraw or to do so from northeast syria in a way that makes sure that the. defense of israel or other friends in the region. is absolutely assured those other allies are the kurds the u.s. says they won't leave until they're safe and this is a red line for turkey a longstanding nato ally any kurd linked conditions or caviar simply unacceptable for ankara. if the withdrawal is put off with ridiculous excuses like the turks are massacring kurds which does not reflect the reality we will implement this decision the day and we haven't even spoken about containing iran.

also does the defeat of isis also might. only equal us exit president trump certainly seem to think so we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten a badly but others of like. john bolton still talk of the continuing battle against islamic state u.s. forces continue as trucks in syria which show no sign of abating which brings me to this next point. despite the concerns of top officials the pentagon is already taking a more relaxed that is shoot to that current strike reports the continued degree of vises leads to decreased connecticut against the terrorist organization our intent is to reduce the number of reports while maintaining transparency reports will decrease from weekly to twice a month and releases will no longer indicates a specific time location or even target for such strikes it's an indication that

the united states is not really withdrawing from from syria and then the meaningful way i think it means that they are plan to continue with their effort to undermine and attack the syrian government in one form or another they have not yet given up their idea of basically promoting division within syria the effort to break off northeast syria and effectively create a separate he in that the kurdish region that effort is failing for various reasons but there and elsewhere there's still a long term goal to prevent syria from being a strong stable united force that is independent of both washington and riyadh and if the hope for the u.s. plan in syria was a new year new strategy it hasn't quite materialized with the u.s. administration seemingly as confused as the rest of us about just about what the

wraps on this hour's edition of the weekly the top stories of the. weekend off the day continues in about twenty five minutes hope you can join us. the police stations are always telling us oh we can have everything at the same time we can have peace and democracy blah blah blah in a pulse close to a situation during a war situation that's not true is that instead of telling people what you can't have everything and then failing to deliver on everything and we should be fabric here and say ok you can have cheese like some kind of peace you can have some kind of democracy you can have some kind of justice in the short term but unfortunately we cannot feel everything at the same time and so someone has to make a choice. nobody

could see coming that false confessions would be in the spot the wish to pull the birch. had any interest ation out there he is tripped promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of the turkish news designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable makes them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept there are no. she said therefore we are all poor henri said on the statement that i will be home by the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all their cross.

country has gone into a nihilistic fever the best one can think and they've got to hit the road and get out of the trial but. what makes america the showed to the genius of america here this is it we've done the employee around which element is going to say we're starting. with is going to head into the swamp to go into the belly of the bee i can't leave now getting more guns over the baby with a different kind of mr. superior i'm going to for a while and here excellent fashion photographer and you've got accomplishments in the photography industry in this suddenly you're labeled all right and it's always fascinating to me because the image itself is reinterpreted in a political sense in so many different ways and we saw that i mean under reagan right that he was able to was a master of creating the photo op and michael deaver michael deaver that's right it

was always about putting reagan in there in front of a rising sun and he made it hollywood hollywoodized this whole political process remember the greatest political ad about the threat of nucular war was under i think goldwater goldwater and then then johnson ran that ad right so that with the kid been the daisy the kid in the daisy prima's political advertising right and then a quick george bush had willie horton going through the revolving door that's right as was black crime is going to ask ok that's pretty straightforward but with pumping the fraud or these other means like where is this going like people are getting triggered because what's happening is that they're taking cartoon characters and they're associating them with the wrong thing to sting pepe the frog it's so easy to draw it so easy to replicate it so easy to take your context and and put your copy on top of it that it winds up becoming this incredibly powerful thing is donald trump a troll i think the saturday night live sorts really underestimate they think he's

a been and that he's stupid.
