i am. i am. at a. great nations do not fight endless wars. from troop drawdowns to bolstering border security and applauding the venezuelan opposition the us president delivers a wide ranging states of the union speech to congress.

i. get asked activists and trade union workers march through paris as french and present through a close of a new they were going to build. and as facebook turns fifteen its founder monza defiance of the social media. is how to collect and empower people across the world. it's two o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from last week and we clean it up into the program. the u.s. president has 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 successes of his administration

here are some of the highlights of the speech. i loudly pledged a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. thank you with the venezuelan people their noble quest for freedom and we condemn the brutality of the more duro 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 february 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 trying to tower in new york to denounce the u.s. leader they criticized his administration's divisive policies and mocked trump's campaign slogans our sister channel america was joined by a panel of experts to discuss the address and its implications and you can find it in full on our channel 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 he 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 he may have a good 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 in 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 law so much division and what do you say 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 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 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 i actually got to say are we 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 and somebody about what we were doing chris

a lukewarm civil war resumes i'm going to say i hope we have bipartisan change and we can actually 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 lead on. 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 india 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 m.p.'s have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a controversial anti hooligan bill in an effort to clamp down on file and so long yellow fest demonstrators move coincided with a fresh wave of protests in the capital which has been the epicenter of unrest in recent months charlotte depends was in paris for us.

it seems like there's been a big turnout for this nationwide and professional strike called by france these laws are just you see she now they hates of protesting really against the reforms made by president macro's government but they've also noted they are. anti cashiers know that answer who look in the top look to anybody who goes to a crew chest and covers their face to face up to a year in prison and a following 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 leo's as protests over the last few months and people here in the process are very unhappy with this new rule. 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 good at this law is against the marches it's to stop people rallying to scare people see. this war against the rioters craze question i find it to be a polling i guess it's a complicated issue will they detain the real writers that's the real question or will they. just pick up any yellow vests with 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 got here to plaster the concord we saw 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 as i just gave us this canister 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 tear gas which is now all around us and it's not just protesters here in france who seem to be unhappy about this new this even being criticism from the human rights commissioner for the council of europe but 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 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 so that you can ski r.t. paris. we talked to a number of french m.p.'s about the new anti writing its way through parliament

while some supported it others told us it's a step too far and would erode civil liberties and more is meant for you 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 them. 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 governing is trying to impose a regime that's far from democratic it's getting more autocratic. it creates a distinction between who gets legitimate protesters so the national assembly was right to uproot. his face but ten fifteen it's found has published an

impassioned defense of the social media platform but claims the science has been a force that good and has helped revolutionize the ways in which people communicate it comes that the company faces increasing scrutiny of how its handling uses personal information and has more this has been an intense year. yeah mark wouldn't say that for nothing last year transferred face book 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 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 all the 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 mark zuckerberg has had to apologize and take away from from 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 could they care less well to keep enjoying that confort 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 zuck shoulder at all these troublesome government hearings now that is him again alongside the riaa 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. 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. and he said new york times opinion piece has claimed 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 way. the piece is accompanied by a menacing photo of la tamir putin a number of russian words thrown in for dramatic effect including those making lines and dissent from ation one however has been mistranslated as it means compromising the to real and not compromise the article and some of its more

a spurious claims is met with harsh criticism from a number of journalists and readers of the publication imagine a new york times op ed casual stating 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's also undermines the author's argument because if true who can blame the lawyer scary photo by the way this photo in 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 and it is not the first time that russia's critics have made for reference to genetics either a former u.s. national intelligence director once said that russians are genetically driven to co-opt and manipulate legal and media analyst lionel told us he thinks that the 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 a group of people there would have been. just a cavalcade an avalanche of attack 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. netgear a new cows i'm into this has no depth this is the black hole of journalism this is so much so so consume so the gravity is so intense that light kit the scape truth can't escape i mean this is a lab or gas taking a performance arts piece depicting tello trying still to has drawn sharp criticism

from the president's family what's it all about well we've got the story right after this break. and when else truths seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to seep out just to become active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when something any find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that midstream refuses to tell more than ever we

need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. survive on a performance art piece currently showing at a gallery in washington d.c. has provoked an angry reaction from president trust family who've labeled it as sexist it's called vacuuming and runs for two hours every evening at the flashpoint gallery the beseeches i'm all dressed up to look like if i could try to push in a vacuum cleaner back and forth across a ping that nearby is

a pile of bread crumbs visitors are invited to throw them onto the carpet so the double can clean them up. the left has no respect for women believe ribble not only is this disgraceful and humiliating towards a banca 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 vacuum and ivanka trump lookalike before ivanka trump stepped into her role at the white house she developed her brand as a business woman and working mother she responded to the art it is exhibit by saying that while some women prefer to knock each other down she believes they

should be supporting each other the gallery for its part says the piece is a visual celebration of a contemporary feminine icon and encourages people to question their relationship with her we were joined by two commentators to discuss how appropriate the performances. i think a lot of americans see this as very very political i mean and 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 our stimulates conversation and it stimulates to it stimulates debate what i find interesting is that the artist made this very ambiguous seems that the trumped arrangement centrum 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 putting michelle obama for example with a vacuum cleaner hand vacuuming crumbs i don't think it would have gone over quite as well with the regressive left but they love you were used to the hypocrisy on that side of the aisle so anyone i would say who want to cut evocate down is doing

it most likely because they're jealous and i can see why because it has an incredibly successful talented tejpal competent american woman i mean i think it's acceptable because first of all if anybody in the trumpet is ministration is a public persona so i think once you once you have that sort of platform and you are a public persona and you actually are also a government official anything anything goes i mean you know anybody can. say whatever they want to about shoe and i think art is a really good way. to stimulate ideas so i think everybody sort of fair game in this here is a situation where you know to me the piece looks like. she's like this one nine hundred fifty s. housewife with no voice no will i think has done a masterful job of complimenting her father's very pro woman administration again

lending women opportunities they've never had in the history of the world not just the history of america but in the history of the world more women today are successful more women today are employed more women today own companies under the trump administrator. because of the regulation. dozens of celebrities and media outlets in the u.s. have been warned they could face legal action over their treatment of the teenager involved in a confrontation with a native american man nick salmon drew global condemnation after a video went viral appearing to show him mocking the indigenous elder his lawyers say that the youngster has been slandered and his actions misread represented. just starving viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school and just stir being viral video shows a modern teen say make america great again something arousing a native american out there in washington named these kids i want names shamed them

if you think these wooden dogs you in a heartbeat think again. i believe lead poisoning i. were to go you know i blame. what a little. the red marker hot is the new white hood. the teenager at the center of the controversy says his family have been receiving death threats despite the fact that subsequent that is including one released by his lawyers show events in a different light and reveal that he didn't initiate the confrontation didn't from kentucky all 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 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 of 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. legal analyst and author great untold is the celebrities like those laying into the teenager wearing to make america great again and kept need to be more cautious when making inflammatory public statements i think this is case is going to be definitely 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 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. i'll be back around thirty minutes time with more make sure you stay with us now for a documentary called plastic surgery which is up next here on alt international. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you that.
