i. am. i. the. great nations do not fight endless wars. from border security to applauding the venezuelan opposition the u.s. president delivers a wide ranging state of the union speech to congress. that's

from europe yellow vest activists and trade union workers marching through paris after french employees approved a controversial new anti. on his facebook turns fifteen years old it's found the defense of the social media platform arguing it's helped to connect and empower people across the world. hello very good afternoon welcome to the program just turned midday here in moscow now my name is kevin over here live from out international in the new center here with the update for the next thirty minutes starting with this that six seven hours ago now the u.s. president delivered his annual 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 successes 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. 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 rallied new trump tower in new york to denounce the u.s.

leader they could decide the administration's divisive policies mocks trump's campaign slogans on our sister channel r.t. america was joined by a panel of experts to discuss the address and its implications you can find it in full and now 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 tried 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 to get 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 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 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 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 is facing very often we did see nancy pelosi is in that 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 called 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. 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 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. in europe peace voted overwhelmingly in favor of a controversial bill in an effort to clamp down on violence among yellow vest demonstrators move immediately triggered protests in the capital which has been the epicenter of rest in recent months reports from paris to.

it seems like there's been a big turnout for this nationwide and to professional strike called by francis at large as you see she now they hates a protest generally against the reforms made by president marcos government but they've also noted they are against this new anti casio's knows 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 these 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 rule and want to look i'm against this law because where is the proof that these are real hooligans the government can choose who's a whole again who is not the critical this law is against the march this is to stop people rally and to scare people see the cookies or to this organised the rioters

craze question i find it a bit of pulling i guess it's a complicated issue will they detain the real writers best interest question or will they just pick up any a gallon of gas that put 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 ahead it's a plus to the phone calls that we saw with the police then responding with tear gas as you can 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. yes is it captain as he is will have to be pushed back as a result of that cheney gas which is now all around us and it's not just protests

here in france you 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 chris 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 fear 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 can tell you we talked to a number of french m.p.'s about the new anti writing bill making its way through parliament some supported it others told us that they thought it was a step too far it would erode they thought civil liberties 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 of voting for something that contradicts our laws the government 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 uproot. a birthday cake for facebook has turned fifteen years old its founders published an impassioned. defense of the social media platform to market mark zuckerberg claims that his site has been a force for good and has helped to revolutionize the ways in which people

communicate all that coming as the company faces increased scrutiny over how it's using users personal information of course has got more this lunchtime. 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 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 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 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 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. dozens of celebrities and media outlets in the u.s. supreme won't they could face legal action over the treatment of the teenager involved in a confrontation with a native american man you have been following the story and examined drew global condemnation of video went viral appearing to show it mocking the indigenous elder now his lawyers say the youngsters been slandered though and his actions misrepresented. disturbing viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stirring viral video shows a model team saying make america great again something around seeing a native american out there in washington named these kids i want names seeing them

if you think these wooden dogs you in a heartbeat think again. i blame lead poisoning. and parenting it oh yeah i blame that kid what a little. the red mark the heart is the new white hood. well no the teenager the center of controversy says he's found with he's been receiving death threats this despite the fact that subsequent videos including one released by as lawyers show events of a different life reveal that he didn't initiate the confrontation partly. didn't from kentucky 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 a 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 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 the young man remained where he had already been standing placing his undivided attention on mr phillips is the other side of his legal analyst jennifer britton told us that celebrities like those look into the teenager we're talking about there where in the make america great again cup these people cautious were making from 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 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. reason new york times opinion pieces claim controversially that corruption is hardwired into russian society and its very nature. corruption is in russia's d.n.a. sharing is not the russian wait that so is written or the piece is accompanied by a menacing photo of lithium a potent number of russian words are thrown into for dramatic effect like those meaning lives in this information when there's actually been mistranslated as a by site all that means compromising material not compromised either way the

article was met with harsh criticism from a number of journalists and readers of the publication imagine a new york times oh parent cares real estate corruption is in the jewish d.n.a. but as long as we're talking about russians these kind of groups you know phobia 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 volodya 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 either a former u.s. national intelligence director once said that russians are genetically driven to co-opt to manipulate legal or media around this line or told us he thinks the new york times piece is outrageous. i don't even know the adjectives though the words

shocking disgusting deplorable races 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 attacks you would have been indicted for that why 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 lower journalistic in 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 low water coming or not international including this a performance art piece depicting donald trump's daughter's drawing sharp criticism

from none other than the president's family was all a fuss about we'll tell you a few minutes from now. as a presidential candidate donald trump lambasted america's endless and wasteful wars but as president he has surrounded himself with individuals who have made defending

ended dancing american empire a full time career why did trump cave and what could be the consequences for him and his present. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. again this is arse international with me kevin how it so as hussein before the break a performance art piece currently showing at a gallery in washington d.c. has provoked an angry reaction from none other than the president from family themselves they've labeled as sexist it's called ivanka vacuuming it runs for two hours every evening at a flashpoint gallery the piece features a model dressed up just look like pushing a vacuum cleaner can forth across

a pink carpet nearby it's art is a pile of bread crumbs visitors are invited to toss more of these bread crumbs on to said carpet so that the ivanka double comment clear that all up constantly the left has no respect for women unbelievable not only is this disgraceful and humiliating towards ivanka but this is humiliating to the woman the 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 before ivanka stepped into a role at the white house she developed her brand as a businesswoman a working mother she's responded to the arctic sea a bit by saying that while some women prefer to knock each other down as she put it she believes they should be supporting each other and as for the gallery for its part it says the piece is a visual celebration of the contemporary feminine icon and encourages people to

question their relationship with it we would jumper to commentators discuss how appropriate they thought the performances. 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 my 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 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 the regressive left but they love the where you see the hypocrisy on that side of the aisle. you know the news today india's issued

a rare official complaint to the u.s. embassy protesting washington's rest of almost one hundred thirty indian students who deployed to a fake american college the university of farmington supposedly based in the state of michigan have no classes no teachers and if it seems was run by undercover homeland security agents as part of a push to cut the legal migrants u.s. law enforcement even created a website for the college and set up a network of fake recruiters while india's foreign ministry says those students were misled students may have been duped into enrolling indian 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 this some of those indian students did think the university was genuine the indictment though says no 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 credit or make academic progress

towards an actual degree in a particular field of study. the hindu american foundation told us this type of operation simply shows that a major flaw within 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 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. day twenty five just to hear it mosco that's it for me. if you.
