i. i was. going to. i. great nations do not fight endless wars. present from just bitterly wrong from bolstering border security to applauding the venezuelan opposition the u.s. president delivered a wide ranging state of the union speech to come. to it i

gather west activism for a q-tip workers marched through paris after french employees approved a controversial new anti. just facebook turns fifteen years old its founder mounts a defense of the social media platform giving its help to connect and empower people across the world. live from reality global news center it's covered it with the next hour. so first the new u.s. president earlier today delivered his annual and highly anticipated state of the union address to a deeply divided congress donald trump spoke at length about critical domestic and foreign policy concerns as well as the perceived success of his administration here are some of the highlights of that speech. i loudly pledged

a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. please we stand with the venezuelan people their noble quest for freedom and we condemn the brutality of their more darrow regime the united states is developing a state of the art missile defense system. under my administration we will never apologize for advancing america's interests chairman kim and i will meet again on feb twenty seventh and twenty eighth in vietnam it is time to give our brave warriors in syria a warm welcome home. while the president was making his address protesters rallied near trump tower in new york to denounce the u.s. leader they criticize the administration's divisive policies trumps come paint

slogans me to my sister channel or to america i was told by a panel of experts to discuss the speech and its implications you can find it in full and on you tube channel. he did attempt to reach across party lines more sort of but we've heard from any speech in the past where he really did reach out to democrats try to find middle ground solutions on the issues he laid out the two points where he's going to stay to the right but he also came back to the middle terms of foreign policy area he talked about foolish 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 iraq these are very scary times he may have with 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 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 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 you 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 his 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 go ok you 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 yeah he's going to react to a response and he's not going to like it ok tomorrow the cold civil war resume some going back to 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 continues. 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 not 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 it just like the employment growth in women which started under obama and vienna 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. back to europe french impreza voted overwhelmingly in favor of a controversial anti hooligan law in an effort to clamp down on violence among those yellow vests in the street as the movie to be triggered protests in the capital which has been the epicenter of course of unrest in recent months shiela de bensky was in paris for us to. right seems like there's been

a big turnout for this nationwide and to professional strike called by france's largest you see she cheek you know they hated protesting really against the reforms made by president macro's government but they've also noted they are against this new anti cashiers know that answer who look in the top look anybody who goes to a crew testing 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 these people the schools just struck she going to violence at legalization protests over the last few months and people here in the process are very unhappy with this new rule so 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's not going to see this law is against the march this is to stop people rally and to scare people see the quick to sort of this war against the rioters creates question i find it 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 you know a vast that would you the law is quo. 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 got here to plaster the concorde out we saw the police then responding with tear gas by as you can see tear gas now coming down behind us at london close to us one of the protests is i just gave us this canister oh this is sort of a canister that the tear gas is kept in as you have to be pushed back as a result of that your gas which is now all around us and it's not just protesters here in france or seem to be unhappy about this who is even being criticism from

the human rights commissioner for the council of europe that the government particularly the interior minister christopher customer has defended this new this law is not intended to prevent demonstrations on the contrary it's aims to protect them more than twelve hundred police officers and emergency workers and nearly nineteen 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 the road civil liberties remain out on the streets and there remain unhappy with many of the policies of the government so that you can ski r.t. paris. we talked a number of french employees about this new anti rioting bill making its way through parliament while some supported it so those told us it's a step too far and members went poorly but 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 or that is unfortunately most people in the national assembly voting for something that contradicts our laws because ministre to impose a regime that's far from democratic is getting more autocratic and watched i thing 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 their platform and saying they'll always be people who lament the changes brought about by technology it comes as the company faces increasing pressure over how it's using users data of course if a trend has got worn out this morning this is an intense year.

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 policies 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 datta 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 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 it 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 trouble some government hearings. now that is him again alongside mariah jordan the tech giants director of public policy guess what she worked for the white house administration to anything from the democrat era there you have it . on he was once in charge of writing what president obama says here they are an american century welcoming. of everybody. who's spiers to do something will oh that was emotional well nowadays his dealing with economic and social impact issues at facebook and that's just a few search career twist examples it helps to know people. i mean

even better if the people you know no more right people. dozens of celebrities and media outlets in the u.s. in war they could face legal action over the treatment of the teenager involved in a confrontation with a native american man that if you following this story and examined drew global condemnation of the video went viral appearing to show a mocking of the indigenous elder his lawyers say the youngest has been slandered though his actions misrepresented disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stirring viral video shows a model seems to make america great again around seeing a native american out there in washington named these kids i want you seeing them if you think these wooden dogs you in a heartbeat think again. i believe lead poisoning.

parent to get oh yeah i blame. what a little. the red mark a hat is the new white hood. well the teenager at the center of the controversy says his family have been receiving death threats over all this despite the fact that subsequent videos including one released by his lawyers seem to show events in a different light and reveal that he didn't initiate the confrontation didn't from kentucky's our boy covington catholic high school were instructed to meet on the stairs of the lincoln memorial to await their bus home a few yards away where five black men who identified as hebrew israel lights after nearly an hour of enduring the verbal attack the boys asked the shop. if they could perform one of their pep rally chance to drown out the hate group which attracted the attention of a group of needs americans led by veteran activist nathan phillips. they began to celebrate by chanting and dancing to the beat mr phillips began moving to his right

down a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with nick sandman the young man remained where he had already been standing placing his undivided attention on mr phillips. legal are most chilling for britain told us that celebrities need to be more cautious with money condemning public statements i think this is a 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 and 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. recent new york times opinion pieces claim controversially the corruption is in russia d.n.a. . corruption is in russia's d.n.a. sharing is not the russian wait the piece is accompanied by a menacing photo of lima putin a number of russian words were also thrown in for dramatic effect including those meaning lies and those wanting to sin from ation one those been mistranslated it means compromising material and no compromise either which way the article was met with harsh criticism from a number of journalists and readers of the publication imagine a new york times op ed casual statement corruption is in the jewish d.n.a. but as long as we're talking about russians these kind of groups xenophobia is totally fine corruption is in russia's d.n.a. this is racism masquerading as analysis it also undermines the author's argument

because if true who can blame the lord carey photo by the way this photo and the article are reminiscent of the hearst papers in a phobic and hysterical war fever drummed up to sell papers before the spanish-american war it is designed to build up hatred and not knowledge it's not the first time that russia's critics have made reference to genetics a former u.s. national intelligence director once said that russians are quote genetically driven to co-opt to manipulate without the thoughts of legal meter on this line and he thinks that the new york times piece is simply outrageous 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 a group of people there would have been eight just a cavalcade an avalanche of attacked you would have been indicted for that by.

rush back. that goes without take that so kay i never thought i could say this we always say well this hits a new low new low in journalistic a netgear or a a new chasm of the this has no depth this is the black hole of journalism this is so much so so consumed so did the gravity is so intense that light kit xscape truth can't escape i mean this is for lab or gas staying the full of the book will try coming up a performance of piece to pigs in tone from his daughter's drawing sharp criticism from the president's family was not a problem we'll tell you right after this break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten dollars more in tempe each day.

eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one show you can afford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

international with me kevin how it so as was said before the break a performance art piece that showing at a gallery in washington d.c. has provoked an angry reaction now from president trump's family no that's pieces of his called ivanka vacuuming simply it runs for two hours everything in a flashpoint gallery and that's what she does her the piece features a model dressed up to look like a van could try pushing a vacuum cleaner back and forth across a pink carpet nearby is a pile of bread crumbs visitors are invited to toss some more of those bread comes on to said carpet so that. vanka double come back in them up. i hate . 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 and 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 this disgraceful and humiliating torts of onka 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 well the gallery press release says the piece is a visual celebration of contemporary from an icon it was quote and encourages people to question their relationship with we were joined by two commentators

discuss how appropriate this performance 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 pretty 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 issue official complaint to the u.s. embassy protesting washington's arrest of almost one hundred thirty indian students

who applied to a fake american college more of this the university of farmington a supposed higher education facility the state of michigan had no classes no teachers i'm so proud to be on the cover a hole in security agents it is staying the current should legalize the u.s. immigration enforcement even created a website for said college on a network of fake recruiters india's foreign ministry says the students were 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 some of those indian students did think that the university was genuine in dealing with those says they knew it was an illegal scheme that would allow them to stay in the us. each of the foreign citizens who enrolled and made payments the university knew they would not attend any actual classes in credit or make academic progress towards an actual degree in a particular field of study director of government relations at the hindu american

foundation shaken cyrus thinks this type of operation reveals just how the immigration system simply isn't working properly these hundreds of students have been arrested it seems like a fake university has been uncovered that was created by the u.s. government using u.s. taxpayer dollars so i believe the u.s. american people are going to want to know if this was a good use of their taxpayer dollars these types of scams luring students to come here only showcases that immigration system is broken and unfortunately we are not seeing the impetus of the u.s. government to try and fix it now we hope that there is a congressional resolution through through legislation soon. just going ten twenty five in the morning or mosco that's it for now for me kevin. is going all the latest as it happens for you twenty four seventh's for now wherever you watch rather well whatever time it is have

a great day. when the make its manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts certainly the one percent. of the time we can all middle of the room signals. are losing ground in the real news for the world. because the slowness of the blue to them so moving. to good us who've looked cool

was before. much of those who heard it's a preview or few other movies to see him we will. we will we will. move. move. move show you this new video of the liberal media so it's going to look through the . more muslim also his girls will give you films for good girls. go to school so look i do the same you believe this will be story to the issue go. to starbucks to prove it to me to fill it with the littlest they'd say look it is it's. your stash them understand statistics it's their mashed old church clock struck the president and he's been trying this morning i'm still.

the best we have producers to post this for to snap them up when you look because that is the cousin with you swear your supporters to your she walks through she shouldn't store you should cook door for one who's devoted to the wonderful. greetings and salutations so arc watchers what exactly is our state of the union here in the good old united states of america and i'm guessing by now you've probably heard about a million and one polished perfect responses to that crew querrey not only from our

great brand name in chief president donald trump but for most of congress as well regardless of their red or blue gang affiliations the state of the state is great the economy is growing we've got the lowest unemployment rates in decades our military is strong brave just too powerful our enemies have been driven before us and quiver with fear at the very mention of the red white and blue but if it weren't for the republicans blah blah blah our reward for the democrats blah blah blah or for russia china iran north korea illegal sugar bernie boomers rolling hills we'd be the most bestest perfect nation in the history of the world in the universe that we already are but just even more perfect than perfect. but are we. you see the big thorn in the hyperbole bubble our elected officials live in is the reality of the united states that the rest of us live in the reality that was recently highlighted by the economic advocacy group prosperity now recently reported that quote forty percent of american households lack

a basic level of savings these liquid asset poor households don't have enough savings to make ends meet at the poverty level for three months if their income. was interrupted my friends that translates to the sobering fact that today in the supreme supposedly one of the richest greatest countries in the world forty percent of its citizens are just one missed paycheck away from true poverty. that is not a prosperous great nation far from it that is a nation on the brink of collapse whose leaders refuse to take their heads out of the sand and their corporate hands out of our pockets which means it's time for all of us to start watching the hawks. to. get the.
