i'm sure i'll see you then. great nations do not fight endless wars. just a bit earlier on today from security to applauding the venezuelan opposition the us president in the wide ranging state speech to congress.

activists the trade union workers marching through paris french and plays approved a controversial new anti hooligan bill. facebook's turn fifteen years old of its founders defended the social media platform at this time arguing it's helped to connect and empower people across the world. to coming up hard wired for corruption in new york times opinion piece claims that dealings are in rush's d.n.a. we asked americans what they thought about that question it's offensive everything now is so political inoffensive it's pretty biased it's obviously offensive that's putting a group of people in a negative light. good morning from moscow live from the r.t. global news center is covering it with you to. if the next news update can stay

with me for at least some of it first then this the u.s. president's live it is and he will the highly anticipated state of the union address to a deeply divided congress a few hours ago donald trump spoke at length about critical to mystic and foreign policy concerns as well as the perceived success of his administration it was some of the highlights of the speech i loudly pledged a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. by the we stand with the venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom. and we condemn the brutality of the more dero regime the united states is developing a state of the art missile defense system. under my administration we will never apologise for advancing america's interests chairman kim and i will meet

again on february twenty seventh and twenty eighth in vietnam by it is time to give our brave warriors in syria. warm welcome home. well while the president was making his address protesters outside rallied near trump tower in new york to denounce their leader they criticize his speech describing it as divisive. america was joined by a puddle of experts to discuss the speech you can find it in full or you choose. it's a quick look at what took place but start with you a dark moment stuck out with you as the president has wrapped up his state of the union speech for twenty nineteen. i was really excited that he started out with criminal justice reform some of the changes that he may with a second chance were good for all americans but after that you can pretty much for the entire rest of the speech away because he went back to his partisan bias ways particularly when talking about the wall deana what do you what are you looking at

i can't believe that lead on is saying that actually that you can throw his whole speech out the window it was a beautiful speech it was so powerful it was so positive it was so uplifting and it really was a message of unity he did attempt to reach across party lines more sort of that we've heard from any speech in the past where he really did reach out to democrats tried to find middle ground solutions on the issues he laid out the points where he's going to stay to the right but he also came back to the middle terms of foreign policy area you talked about food which wars everything that he talked about even though it was to show a very strong united states. what he's pursuing in these other countries may actually have the effect of prolonging a war we're also looking at him and talking about this in iran these are very scary times if we may have at the end invincible military but we're so over overly committed now that if we go that route we could go any one of those routes we could

we could get bogged down in another vietnam in many locations throughout the world but for sure what we have in a speech like this is putting old neo con wine into a new america first rhetorical bottle and it's sad because i think he wants to get out of afghanistan he wants to get out of syria i think the one bright spot is probably korea but there are people of his administration who would like to take that one as well we spend ten times as much as the russians three times as much for the chinese not enough money isn't our problem here is because the strategy is all wrong i think he knows that but if you look around that big room in there those are the very people who will not let him do what i think he wants to do including also the people he's appointed to his administration so much division and what do you think is the rhetoric is uncalled for and it overshadows the good that he does do because we're so caught up to do good in the next thing you know tim is like he's tweeting and has disavowed everything positive you say it's not you know what he's going to. talk about talk about actually there was a moment so that i felt like i was watching mom and dad look over their group and

while we didn't see mike pence face that very often we did see nancy pelosi is in it sometimes you could tell she was kind of like looking at her children ok better behave no no not now and i have to say across the board i am actually surprised pleasantly surprised at how civil because we do know that there were people that were quite upset with the president and the congress i do want to go around go quick and say what do you think is going to happen tomorrow like with everything else of president trump he can say one thing but it comes next actually got to say we're going to get more information via twitter from trump you know he's going to react to a response and he's not going to like it ok tomorrow the cold civil war resume about the. what we were doing chris a lukewarm civil war resumes. i'm going to say i hope we have bipartisan change and we can have to work across party lines the civil war going to. be good and i hope for the best but i think as my my colleagues say it's going to be back to business as usual and went on. but we're probably going to see what we have to see trying to do which is compare ripping that he said to what obama did just like the employment

growth and women which started under obama and indiana i hope that he continues this tone of choosing unity choosing greatness and choosing victory over vengeance if he keeps this up i think we'll have a much more unified country. french employees are voted overwhelmingly in favor of a controversial good law in an effort to clamp down on violence among yellow vest protesters the most recent demonstrations in the months long campaign against the rising living cost took place in paris on tuesday sure do birds he was there for. right seems like there's been a big turnout for this nationwide and to professional strike called by francis and largess you see she t. know they hates a protest generally against the reforms made by president macros government but

they've also noted they are against this new anti cast serious no no that anti hooligan though is unpopular because anybody who goes to a protest in covers their face to face up to a year in prison and a fine of fifteen thousand euros that's because the authorities say that they want to crack down on those people the schools destruction and violence at leo's s. protests over the last few months and people here in the process very unhappy with this new one so they look i'm against this law because where is the proof that these are real hooligans the government can choose who's a hooligan and who is not the kind of sequel this law is against the march this is to stop people rally and to scare people see the cookies or to this war against the rioters craze question is i find it to be appalling i guess it's a complicated issue will they detain the real writers test a real question or will they just pick up any gallon of gas would you the law is quite tough i assume it doesn't need to be so strict but the same time we need to

limit the number of disturbances we have the right to protest but without crighton we saw scuffles breaking out between the police and the protesters at first what we saw in response was just the security forces trying to push back in a bit of a cat and mouse game but later as the protesters as those on strike go it's a plus to the concord that we saw the police then responding with tear gas i didn't see tear gas now coming down behind us at landing close to us one of the protests is i just gave us this canister this is sort of a canister. that the tear gas is a captain as he is will have to be pushed back as a result of the tear gas which is now all around us and it's not just protesters here in france who seem to be unhappy about this nor even being criticism from the human rights commission or for the council of europe but the government particularly the interior minister christopher customer has defended this no this law is not intended to prevent demonstrations on the contrary its aims to protect

them more than twelve hundred police officers and emergency workers and nearly nine thousand eight hundred yellow vests have been injured since the start of the movement to do nothing is a free pass for some to wreak destruction and teach protest people in france you feel that it will roam civil liberties remain out on the streets and there remain unhappy with many of the policies of the government even ski r.t. paris. we talked to a number of french m.p.'s about the new and he writing laws it seems to draw a mixed reaction to it some suggesting it's a step too far and more is went poorly this is bad news for freedom of assembly this is a very sensitive issue and it could aggravate an already fragile situation is the government has a responsibility to uphold our legal rights not restrict and. this is not about freedom to protest the government needs to protect our freedom of speech but it's not acceptable when every demonstration turns into street violence that undermines

the message that the protesters want to put across just as a peaceful assembly this really is unfortunate when most people in the national assembly voting for something that contradicts our laws that govern is trying to impose a regime that's far from democratic it's getting more autocratic and watched i think this law is a good things it creates a distinction between hooligans and legitimate protesters so the national assembly was right to approve it. as facebook turns fifteen years old its founders posted a message online praising the platform and say that always be people who lament the changes brought about by technology it comes as the company faces increasing pressure over how it's using uses data. for this is an intense fear. yeah mark wouldn't say that for nothing last year transferred facebook data to cambridge and living in violation of fair use for its

data policy personal data mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users the largest security breach in the company's history this is this is a challenge for more cloud companies and that was a big mistake and i'm really sorry that this happened i'm sorry you think having to do so much damage control must have definitely taken its toll on facebook but apart from their fiftieth anniversary mark zuckerberg and co have another great reason to throw a big party not only they didn't lose money actually they've set a record in profit for the final three months of twenty teeing it almost reached seven billion bucks privacy issues illegal dot harvesting and not doing enough about what the russians were up to all attempts to bring the tech giant to account made people on capitol hill realize the many many times that marks our cover has had to apologize and the takeaway for me for that is that we

can't rely on self-regulation that facebook is not going to regulate itself and that we have to pass some laws that well for now realizing and saying that way too often hasn't led to much action is facebook really being regulated the answer is no and with all that big money to day care less well to keep enjoying that comfort at least for now he once hired some very smart and influential people like joe kaplan as the president said in his remarks president the president the president laid out in his speech yes here's george w. bush and here's mr kaplan he used to have an important job in the second bush administration and here you can see what he's up to now being called facebook's policy boss who else would be behind shoulder at all these troublesome government hearings. now that is him again alongside mariah

jordan the tech giant's director of public policy guess what she worked for the white house administration to anything from the democrat in. there you have it from on he was once in charge of writing what president obama says here they are an american century. welcoming. of everybody. who was spiers to do something will go that was emotional well nowadays his dealing with economic and social impact issues at facebook and that's just a few such career twist examples it helps to know people. i mean even better if the people you know no more right people. and recent times opinion page says claim controversially that corruption is in

russia's d.n.a. and quote caleb maupin most people in new york appropriate than they thought such sweeping statements were. a recent op ed published by the new york times not surprisingly said some nasty things about russia the piece was complete just like every other hit piece with a scary photo of poop and russian words were thrown in and i taluk for dramatic effect and missed translated by the way. but it didn't just take aim at the government but at the entire country it argued that the roots of russia's problematic tendencies are in genetic defects corruption is in russia's d.n.a. sharing is not the russian wait we decided to replace the word russia with nigeria new yorkers would feel about the statement not offensive offensive to say that all the people from nigeria have you know corruption in their d.n.a. well yes that part is of course it's offensive everything now is so political and offensive and it should be more respectful and it's obviously offensive that's

putting a group of people in a negative light i'm not familiar with the statement but on the whole i mean there might be some context but otherwise it's pretty. it seems pretty biased no absolute you know of course offensive about that you know sissoko me me actually instead of saying about nigerians they said about russians do you still feel it's offensive it is. like not personally but this on the fence of thing to say they seem to go after whoever is popular so no we wouldn't be for nigerians and yes it would be for russians but i feel the same way still wrong it's still seems pretty biased little bit offensive and so if it's russians but not of it's nigerians because this is a political you know it's it's a current comment which is controversial with what's going on with the u.s. and russia the u.s. establishment generally prides itself in political correctness and sensitivity however all those rules seem to disappear the second that russia is involved kaleb

up and r.t. new york is not the first time that student six have surfaced in criticisms of russia. a former u.s. national intelligence director once said the russians are genetically driven to co-opt to manipulate the media around this level told us he thinks of the new york times pieces ranges i don't even know the adjectives though the word shocking disgusting deplorable racist let me make this very very clear if you had replaced the term russian with any other ethnicity nationality group of people there would have been eight just a cavalcade an avalanche of attacks you would have been indicted for that by russia. that goes without take that so k. i never thought i could say this we always say well this hits a new low new lower journalistic. netgear or a a new cows

a mother this has no depth this is the black hole of journalism this is so much so so consume so did the gravity is so intense that light can't escape truth can't escape i mean this is for lab or gas staying. in dozens of celebrities media outlets in the us supreme won't they could face legal action over the treatment of the teenager involved in a confrontation with a native american month member of story nick some of drew global condemnation of the video went viral appearing to show him intimidating the veteran and his lawyers say the u.s. has been slandered it is actions misrepresented. disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stripping viral video shows a model team saying make america great again around singing native american out there in washington mindy i want you seem them if you think these wooden

dogs you know heart think again. i believe the word poisoning. to get oh yeah i blame. what a little. the red mark the heart is the new white. where the teenager at the center of the controversy says his family have even been receiving death threats no overall this is a spot the subsequent videos including one released by his lawyers seem to show events in a different light and reveal that in fact he didn't initiate the confrontation didn't from kentucky's covington catholic high school were instructed to meet on the stairs of the lincoln memorial to await their bus home a few yards away were five black men who identified as israel lights after nearly an hour of enduring the verbal attack the boys asked the chaperone if they could perform one of their pep rally chance to drown out the hate the chant attracted the

attention of a group of native americans led by veteran activist nathan philips. they began to celebrate by chanting and dancing to the beat of mr phillips began moving to his right down a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with next sandman the young man remained where he had already been standing placing his undivided attention on mr phillips legal analyst jennifer braden told us that celebrities do all cautious with making public statements. i think this is case is going to be definitely a landmark i mean there's certainly a foundation to go to trial for this and a lot of americans can realize that some celebrities are taking this way too far they're using their celebrity platforms to speak out against things that they really have no expertise or knowledge on now that being said celebrities should be held to a certain standard when making statements because they have so many followers and it so damages reputations that the media has journalistic integrity and has to do due diligence it has to ensure that the stories that they publish are factual are

based on context that they've gotten full information that they've talked to two or three people but this rush to judgment all shows that that is that there is a bias that is so quick to rush to judgment against donald trump or his supporters that that it's now harming people and damaging their reputations and it's really putting a scrutinising eye on things and it's making the media less and less plausible the substance non-chalant from mosco twenty post not of the morning. performance not pleased to put some donald trump's daughter is drew sharp criticism from the president's family was. told he would come by.

as a presidential candidate donald trump lambasted america's endless and wasteful wars but its president who surrounded himself with a division made defending and advancing american empire a full time career why did trump cave and what could be the consequences for him and his presence. joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

again good morning a performance art piece that's showing at a gallery in washington d.c. has provoked an angry reaction from president trump's family no less it's called vacuuming it runs for two hours every evening at the flashpoint gallery there. is a model dressed up to look like ivanka trump they are pushing a vacuum play their back and forth across a pink carpet is a pile of bread crumbs which visitors are invited to toss said carpet so the ivanka double can then vacuum it all up. women can choose to knock each other down erbil each other up i choose the latter sad but not surprising to watch self professed feminists launching sexist attacks against yvonne can trump in their crazed world sexism is ok for her it's their

political enemies that is ok they can go put on their stupid hats and she'll get back to actually fighting for women the left has no respect for women unbelievable not only it is disgraceful and humiliating towards but it is humiliating to the woman the has been hired to impersonate of onka what kind of society have we become . no seriously this is a theme and yet another example of progressive privilege art exhibit invites people to throw trash at vacuum and iran could trump look like the gallery press releases the piece is a quote visual celebration of contemporary feminine icon and quote that encourages people to question their relationship with a new job or to commentators to discuss her appropriate this performance actually is. i think a lot of americans see this as a very very political i mean that they're entitled to their opinion and i think everybody needs a voice. but the one good thing i have to say is i think art stimulates

conversation and it stimulates to it stimulates debate i do think art it should stimulate debate what i find interesting is that the artist made this very ambiguous seems that they're trying to arrange meant center and has gone overboard and certainly if they had done this with michelle obama i'd like to see the art communities and the left's reaction to them printing that michelle obama for example with a vacuum cleaner in her hand vacuuming crumbs i don't think it would have gone over quite as well with their aggressive left but they love you where you see the hypocrisy on that side of the aisle. india's issued a rare official complaint to the u.s. embassy protesting washington's arrest of almost one hundred thirty indian students who deployed to a fake american college the university of farmington a supposed to a higher education facility the state of michigan had no classes no teachers it was operated by undercover homeland security agents in

a string to catch illegal migrants u.s. immigration enforcement even created a website for the college and a network of fake recruiters india's foreign ministry says that the students with their four misled students may have been duped into enrolling in university we have urged us to release them from detention at the earliest and not to resort to deportation against their will it's reported that some of the indian students indeed thought that university was genuine the indictment though says the new it was an illegal scheme that would allow them to stay in the u.s. . each of the foreign citizens who enrolled and made payments the university knew that they would not attend any actual classes on credit or make academic progress towards an actual degree in a particular field of study. director of government relations at the hindu american foundation jake i'm sorry thinks this type of operation reveals just how the immigration system simply isn't working properly. thought.

about that small little thing that you know moskos kevin i would say thanks for watching as ever all tito comes to all the latest as it happens twenty four seven from that wherever you're watching we have a time of day it is for me and the rest of the team in a very good morning of a great day. you know if i said suddenly that oh we recognize nancy pelosi as the president united states that we're not going to talk with donald trump and world of the you know how rage but of course the u.s. has a stereo exceptionalism and that no law applies to them and so they can do whatever they want but by the central banks buying gold as they are they are now coming to the conclusion that america has lost its mind and then when they run out of gold to buy i guarantee you they're going to start fishing around the clock markets.

move before. much of those who heard it's a big. move . move. move should use. the media who looks good. move. these goals to do films good good good. good go to shows look why do you do seem you want me to show he's too good to go. the starts to get the two needed it would be the little one wished they'd still look at is it. contesting understands destiny is not the most told. us that the president will

please control his party until. there's new dishes to toast listening to snoop to come up to new york as the as the girls are with you for your supporters to your shoes issue sure mr you should cut off the one whose job is the. new. art film begins in hawaii in the middle of the pacific ocean in spite of the island's remote location it is also foreman that going to the epidemic of the twenty first century plastic.

in the plastic pollution is littering beaches and endangering certain species of animals no matter how remote or out of reach. in this elaborate tree in the north of the archipelago scientists study marine animals not plastic at least in theory. no idea what that. but it's certainly plastic. jessica peril man is a biologist accustomed to finding plastic in fish stomachs she has started a very unique collection. of casually often plastic bags. and this was off of a stomach when i found that i had no idea what it was and i all that at best.
