i. was. going to. great nations do not fight endless wars. president trumpet earlier on today from bolstering security to upholding the venezuelan position the us president delivered a wide ranging state of the union speech to call.

it a best activist trade union workers marched through paris off the french piece approved a controversial new. that's going to facebook's ten fifteen it's founded mounts a defense of the social media platform it's helped to connect and empower people across the world. good morning love from oscar was kevin i would here at the aussie global new sense of with you hope you stay with me for next thirty minutes for this live update starting with this a few hours ago now the u.s. president delivered design you will on dial 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 successes of his administration the you know some of the highlights of the speech. i loudly pledged

a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. i we stand with the venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom. and we condemn the brutality of their more dero 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 meantime rallied near trump tower in new york to denounce the u.s. lead they could decide the administration's divisive policies in the trump's

campaign slogans assisted channel to america was joined by a panel of experts to discuss the address and also implications you can find it in full 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 iran these are very scary times he may have with an 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 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 and so 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 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 you can say one thing but it comes next i actually got to say are we going to get more information via twitter from trump you know he's going to react to that response and he's not going to like it ok tomorrow the cold civil war resume similar 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 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 not on. but we're probably going to see what we have to see trying to do which is compare rethink 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 town of choosing unity choosing greatness and choosing victory over vengeance if he keeps this up i think will have a much more unified country. but your approach employees are voted overwhelmingly in favor of a controversial anti hooligan bill and they're for the violence among yellow vests demonstrators the move immediately triggered protests in the capital of the at the center of the unrest in recent months sheila dubin ski reports from paris to.

it seems like there's been a big turnout for this nationwide and professional strike called by france's largest you see she t. no they hates of protesting really against the reforms made by president marcos government but they've also noted they are against this new anti casio's old now that anti hooligan though is unpopular anybody who goes to a protest in covers their face could 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 who've cause destruction and violence at least yellow vests protests over the last few months and people here in the process very unhappy with this new rule 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 who is not going to cicle this law is against the march this is to stop people rally and to scare people into cookies or to this war against the rioters

crazy question is i find it to be appalling i guess it's a complicated issue will they detain the real writer's best interest 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 if it's a cat and mouse game but later as the protesters as those on strike go hey it's a plus to the concord that we saw with the police then responding with tear gas i didn't see tear gas now coming down behind us at london close to us one of the protests is i just gave us this canister this is sort of a canister that the tear. yes is it captain as he is will have to be pushed back as a result of that scene i guess which is now all around us and it's not just protesters here in france who seem to be unhappy about this you know this even

being criticism form the human rights commission of the council of europe the government particularly the interior minister christopher cast in it has defended. 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 at each 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. r.t. paris we talked a number of french and pays about the new anti rioting bill making its way through parliament while some supported it others told us they thought it was a step too far and would erode civil liberties. only 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 than. to see that 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 unfortunate when most people in the national assembly a voting for something that contradicts our laws the government is trying to impose a regime that's far from democratic is getting more autocratic. and watch for here you are 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. first they came for facebook's just turned fifteen years old its founders published an impassioned defense of the social media platform claims his site's been a force for good and has helped to revolutionize he says the ways in which people communicate or that coming as the company faces increased scrutiny of how it's

using uses personal information of course trend has got more this morning. and 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 our 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 the 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 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 sucks 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. and 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 oh 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. even trying to dozens of celebrities media outlets in the us people that could face legal action over the treatment of the teenager revolted in a confrontation with a native american man if you've been following this story nick soundman drew global condemnation of video went viral appearing to show a mocking the indigenous held it is lawyers say that the youngsters being slandered though it is actions misrepresented. just starving viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stir being viral video shows a model team saying make america great again something around seeing a native american out there in washington i mean these kids i want you seeing them if you think these wooden dogs you know heart think again. i believe lead poisoning

i. were to go you know i blame. what a little. the red mark the heart is the new white hood. the center of the controversy says his family have been receiving death threats that's despite the fact the subsequent videos including one released by his lawyers show events in a different light reveal that he didn't initiate the confrontation apparently 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 hebrew 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 group the chant attracted the attention of a group of native 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. the young man remained where he had already been standing placing his undivided attention on mr phillips so legal analyst jennifer braden told us that celebrities generally like those long into the make america great again up teenager talking about the need to be more cautious when making inflammatory 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 didn't realize that some celebrities are taking this way too far and they're using their celebrity plots. forums 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. also this morning a recent new york times opinion pieces claim controversially that corruption is in russia's d.n.a. corruption is in russia's d.n.a. cheering is not the russian wait the piece is accompanied by a menacing photo of legitimate putin number russian words and thrown into for dramatic effect including those willing lies and disinformation what has been missed translated it means compromising would not compromise either which way the article was met with harsh criticism from a number of journalists readers of that publication. imagine a new york times op ed care's real estate corruption is in the jews 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's also undermines the author's argument because if true who can blame scary 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 even a former u.s. national intelligence director once said the russians are quote genetically driven to co-opt to manipulate legal media around this lionel told us he thinks this new york times piece is 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 group of people

there would have been a just a cavalcade an avalanche of attacks you would have been indicted for that by russians law that goes without j. that so k. i never thought i could say this we always say well this hits a new low i knew or lower journalistic. netgear or a a new cows i'm with this has no depth this is the black hole of journalism this is so much so so consumed so the gravity is so intense that light can't xscape truth can't escape i mean this is for lab or gas staying lionel to follow it up but we will a performance art piece depicting total traumas daughters drawn sharp criticism from the president's family no less was the first suppose to tell you when we 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 prez. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president. want. to go right to the press this is like the three of them can't be good. i'm interested in the water.

i get this eleven twenty the morning moscow time movie watching on the world's great t.v. company so to that story we talked about for the break a performance piece currently showing at a gallery of washington d.c. has provoked an angry reaction from president trump's family no less if labeled sexist it's called vacuuming and it runs for two of us every evening at the flashpoint gallery the piece features a model dressed up to look just like if i could try pushing a vacuum cleaner can forth across a pink cup it goes on for i was near buzz a pile of pile of bread crumbs and visitors are invited to tell said read said copy

it so that the event could double and then clean it all up again. the left has no respect for women unbelievable not only is this disgraceful and humiliating towards ivanka but this is humiliating to the woman that has been hired to impersonate ivanka what kind of society have we become no seriously this is a thing and yet another example of progressive privilege art exhibit invites people to throw trash at vacuum and yvonne could trump lookalike show you got your views either way but before ivanka trump or stepped into a role at the white house she developed her brand as a businesswoman a working mother she's responded to the art exhibit by saying that while some women prefer to knock each other down she believes they should be supporting each other as for the gallery for its part it says the piece is a visual celebration of a contemporary feminine icon and encourages people to question their relationship

whether they were joined by two commentators to 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 were used to 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 applied to a fake american college the university of farmington supposedly based in the state of michigan in fact had no classes no teachers and was run by undercover homeland security agents as part of a push to kutch illegal migrants seems u.s. law enforcement even created a website for a college and set up a network of fake recruiters libya's foreign ministry says the students were misled students may have been duped into an ruling indian university we have urged us to release them from detention at the earliest and not to resort to deportation against their will and indeed it's been reported that some of those indian students did think the university was genuine the indictment though says they knew 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 in credits or make academic progress

towards an actual degree in a particular field of study. jay consult of the hindu american foundation told us this type of operation shows that a major flaw in the immigration system. 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 the 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. that's it for now i'm twenty five in the morning this wednesday here in moscow as kevin always say thanks for watching and don't forget so much more if you lined up on our site twenty four
