in the 1st round of the 20 democratic candidates but a meltdown of the democrats. are focusing on russian and republican. ripping up. the demographic democratic speaker. addressed to congress. to publish. after.

welcome to the program. democratic party has revealed early results from its key caucus vote almost 24 hours later with 71 percent of results now reported. as the lead with 27 percent in the final in the 1st round is the beginning of the race to see who will run in the 2020 u.s. presidential election a party has been left reeling from glitches in its new mobile which was meant to deliver fast results despite optimism it was catching up on the republicans. are what you do these are probably the most prepared we've ever been as a party for these caucuses and we've run through a few different scenarios but i can tell you we're already. starting it settle for a race and at the end the prize is becoming the presidential nominee and that the

finish. to find out who won. as precinct caucus results started coming in the iowa democratic party ran them through an accuracy and quality check it became clear that they were in consistencies with reports the underlying cause of these inconsistency is was not immediately clear and required investigation which took time this is an embarrassment all they had to do was count the votes going to the polling stations counted the votes all they had to do was add together the tallies what a 10 year old could do in a calculator the democratic party couldn't this mess was caused by a new app designed to speed up vote counting made by a secretive company called shadow inc that i suppose was the 1st clue who contracts a company called shadow to build an open transparent voting app democrats the

people who shouted loudest about russia threatening american elections that breaking news russian hackers tried to hack wisconsin's election system russia's hacked into a lot of things russian hackers the kremlin clan it certainly looks like they're at it again and with an eye towards helping this president to combat strums popularity democrats created 2 organizations acronym and paquin him to flood the internet and t.v. with anti trump and anti russian propaganda trump spent $10000000.00 on a commercial for tonight's super bowl we fixed it for him under president truman merica stealing our veterans setting isis prisoners free losing don't reconfirm ladies and gentlemen the worst is yet. here comes the incompetence part these groups a packed with people who ran and sank hillary clinton's campaign including shadow

inc founded by a former clinton campaign manager they've spend fortunes and amateur propaganda and apps that don't work all that todd and the money the efforts just to see trump have the last laugh. when will a democrat stop blaming russia russia russia instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster that just happened in the great state of iowa it's sad. all the complaining and moaning about how russians were out to ruin american elections most of the russians that did it it was the democrats their paranoia and competence they turned liberals and democrats against each other screaming and shouting accusing each other of foul play of russia could never do the democrats did we've heard the people who are responsible for this catastrophe in iowa the democratic

establishment claim that it was russia's intention to undermine integrity in our voting systems in our election process the question is who really threatens us elections and now i think a lot of voters within the democratic party are finally seeing what the real threat is and it's with it's within the heart of the democratic party establishment the more that we talk about the reality of our election systems the more this russia gate hysteria just begins to fall on deaf ears and voters particularly younger voters who are social media savvy reject it angrily and as the democrats try to consolidate their powers are going to trump the mass that indicate that all's not quite right in the blue camp the details. what the whole world saw at the iowa caucuses can pretty well be described as utter chaos the only results from the iowa caucus at this hour are chaos and confusion never good to get ready for

a crash course in chaos ok us in iowa what happened in iowa now in the absence of actual results several candidates claim they were winning by all indications we are going on to new hampshire victorious. we don't know exactly what it is yet but we feel good about where we are i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very very well here. this time bernie sanders was looking stronger than ever topping the polls and having the biggest crowds and what is right here is the party consuming the. middle section right there of all those homes and that was you know viruses and they're actually moving through homes and the role of armies or you're but then something strange happens with an app and then it was revealed that one of the main opponents of bernie sanders beat buda she had been giving money to the company that was

responsible for the app that caused the glitch now that made outrage get even louder the word rigged was all over social media. what is happening in iraq is not only scary it's unimaginable this caylee is being raped. the democratic nomination is rigged again i believe the iowa democratic votes you never intended to announce the winner last night looks like mayor cheat has rigged the iowa caucuses apparently the troops will come to you if you say the word big so let me just say very big big big big but it didn't just start in iowa rank and file democrats were already outraged about the fact that the rules were changed by the democratic national committee in order to allow michael bloomberg into the debates michael bloomberg former new york city mayor has spent $180000000.00 on his own ad campaign and despite not having anything near the donor base of some of the other candidates the red carpet has been rolled out for him words like oligarchy are being used we

should be ashamed that as americans people believe in democracy all a car if you have more money you can buy your way now my group former u.s. senator from alaska had over 67000 different donors but the democratic national committee said that was not enough and he was not welcome on the debate stage michael bloomberg is mega rich and he has donated $250000.00 to the democratic national committee needless to say he has been deemed worthy of prime time in light of this whole embarrassing beginning of the democratic selection process an online petition has been started calling for the head of the d.n.c. to resign the whole incident shows a major split in a party that has been pushing a united front against donald trump for the longest time and donald trump couldn't be happier. big win for us in iowa tonight thank you now many assume that donald trump was referring simply to the fact that many republicans turned out to vote for

him as the presumed nominee in iowa but maybe he meant more than that with the election in november or months and months away it looks like the meltdown on the other side of the aisle has already started democrats are going to have to decide to come together and just not talk about iowa anymore for this election whatever the results are the best thing for them would be to say look either we won or lost and let's just move on because this makes us look really foolish that we can't even get this process right how are we going to run the country we see divisions within the party and in every single election certainly there are players like bernie sanders who are kind of on the outside of the inner circle and so that is part of the process is working through that tension and infighting amongst each other and so people either drop out because they're embarrassed or they're shown to be incompetent they run out of money and so democrats are going to really be looking for who's the person who can stand up the most to trump. while the democrats were

busy wondering where it all went wrong and donald trump was given his 3rd state of the union speech and had his own private battle with the democratic speaker the president gave nancy pelosi the cold shoulder when she offered her a friendly handshake it wasn't long before she got revenge ripping up from a speech right behind him and shaking her head throughout. trump spent most of the address looking back at his own successes instead of for what. this state of our union is stronger then ever before. the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success. you know. it states has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world i. i companies

are not believing they are coming back to the usa i i keep my promises we did our job with. republicans have been reacting to nancy pelosi shredding tactics saying that she ripped up a tribute to american heroes u.s. senator lindsey graham added that our actions weren't going to the good work done by the white house. i. appreciate nancy pelosi as speaker of their house nightmare which she's accomplished but tearing the speech or. is not going to tear the accomplishments of this president i think is well on its way to being real the new low for mensa palosi the speech was about american heroes some american workers she decided that was worth it were true tearing apart absolutely disgraceful. or sexual abuse scandal and french sport or seen paris prosecutors open

a broad investigation after a former ice skating champion broke a silence after 30 years in a recently published book sarah of it ball accused her french coq her ex coach of rape now the french sports minister has the man in the figure skating president resign charlotte has the details. when a minister makes a public pronouncement you probably would hope that they had checked all of the facts just like when in 2017 france's former sports minister declared that at the height of me too there wasn't a problem in her sphere the former uk fencing champion must now be considering for laying on her sought after the latest explosive revelations of rape by sports coaches have emerged they've been made by frances 10 times the national skating champion sara a bit for in a new book she accuses her former coach year of regularly raping her in the

ninety's when she was aged between 15 and 17. i was sleeping with my teddy bears and he woke me up with his torch he was a nightmare it was horrible and it still horrible today and that's why i'm talking about it as unfortunately i'm still not well i'm taking antidepressants and i'm speaking up for all the other victims who can't speak themselves this exchange 2 year old former coach admits having sex with a skater but his version of their relationship differs though my memories of the exact circumstances differ from hers i am aware that given my duties and her age at the time these relations were in any event inappropriate it's not the 1st time questions have been raised about a year sarah a bit paul says she previously spoke out against him in the early ninety's including to the then minister of sport john points while or more but was shut down

while he called me back and he said to me listen to me tangibly yes we have a file on him but we are going to close our eyes let more says he doesn't recall that conversation i do not question at all what she say's but i have no memory of this exchange above all if i. knowing these horrors that i discovered today i would never have advised sarabeth bowl to close her eyes according to this sports newspaper he keeps 2 investigations were carried out into shield by year in the early 2000 including one white sports ministry now his contract as a technical advisor was terminated following the 2nd one sara a bit but although it is not the only person making accusations 3 of the former skaters say they too were raped by their coaches including usually by ear when they were minors suggesting the problem was much deeper accusations which of either being denied or declined to be commented on questions are now being asked about the

leadership in french sports with the current sports minister demanding the resignation of did you get the pulse of french skating along with other allegations of sex abuse in other sports many are suggesting that these revelations are just the tip of the iceberg and that france has done precious little to protect its sporting hopefuls and heroes charlot even ski altie paris still had a few naughty international a mobile phone app in sweden draws anger online over its muslim head scarf option for avatars we hear why his job is become so polarized after the break.

we're told it's a total meltdown confusion. as officials struggle to report voting results for the botched i will caucus is the ultimate political metaphor for.

the program of the online debate over worrying of the hit job has been rekindled in sweden. users of all ages to address their on screen image with the traditional muslim head scarf for women. to normalize islamization every normal person with children should be terrified.

of the other public services and politicians not only have neutral permissive attitude towards islam but also actively spreading to. women in muslim countries their lives fighting male oppression and. here. here's money making my children believe that it's normal for little girls to cover up. women across the globe are also polarized have been polarized but world has robbed a celebrated international in february the 1st and the event calls and women of all faiths to cover their head for a day as a sign of solidarity running paolo on social media was the hashtag no hit job day with women are doing the traditional let's go off as a symbol of oppression but these 2 activists favor. a woman's rights advocate. they apt developers are merely reflecting the culture that's taking place in their community i think right now what the media what magazines and you know the beauty

standards are trying to do is just be more inclusive and say there is a spot for you here i do feel as though only one narrative is shown in the west when we talk about the job it's often a very positive narrative but i think that the other side also has to be addressed many many girls forced into wearing the job without any full understanding of what it represents and the how difficult it will be to take it off there's definitely a community where this is a very real and present apparently you know issue and concern and so we have to just allow the app designers to kind of. basically play to their audience if you will i do find a huge problem is in perpetuating this idea that children as young as 3 need to wear the job in any in any form and i would also like to say that he is not a culture it is very much a religious symbol see when i myself see a little brown skinned girl on a t.v. commercial as

a little girl i believe i can grow up to be that person so what we don't want to do is not show women and have jobs because we don't want you little girls who wear jobs to feel as though they can't be a part of this larger story that we all are a part of i think that women should be able to choose what they wear and that is exactly why i'm an advocate for no good job day because i stand for the choice to take it off which is something that is just not extended to people around the world and people within even my own community here and in the u.k. . the united nations top human is there in official has said more foreign troops stationed in mali all in the south whole region will not save the african nation and its conflict against armed groups but political talks could not the area in north africa has seen a surge in terrorism over the last decade. the un statement comes after france quoted an extra $600.00 soldiers to the struggling to hell region with 4 half 1000 french troops already there are you in

a fair street from mali explained why the situation in mali is worsening despite the increased security growth. if you look at the needs that have been identified for 2019 over $3000000.00 people needed support from humanitarian activists and we hand planned to use about $324000000.00 this however only 51 percent has been received obviously you cannot cover that needs of all people identified. if you only receive half of the money particularly as the situation is getting worse looking. situation where more people will need our support and we do have about $1100000.00 people that are in additional of humanitarian assistance. well here's

a breakdown of how that terrorist insurgency has grown in recent years and has spread across north africa since 26 the number of jihad is the tax has increased 5 fold while thousands of people have been killed or displaced in the last incident on sunday 20 soldiers were killed by islamist fighters max abrams fellow at the quincy institute for responsible stay craft thinks that any negotiations with terror groups will not be productive. a greater portion of international terrorism will move to africa specially so as well as in libya their fighters are going to continue to increase in number particularly because we're dealing with one of the world's poorest areas with weak governance these kinds of field states create a power vacuum ideal for terrorists of all sorts of pariah so it's very hard for me to imagine that the french will simply have $500.00 troops and that is going to resolve things the reality is that sometimes there is no good answer fighting them

isn't going to work talking to them probably won't work either islamic state is growing in mali and throughout this a hell and they do in part want the peace process is in its alarmist group also very difficult to negotiate and so even though i'm a skeptic that military force you know is not going to work that doesn't mean that i think that negotiations are also necessarily the answer. the u.s. can impose heavier penalties on companies and entities involved in the construction of the nord stream to gas project according to german media the punitive measures may be introduced as early as this month the pipeline project which would carry russian gas to europe via the baltic sea was among the topics we discussed exclusively with russia's ambassador to germany so again in chive. we appreciate the german governor. and continued support for the nord stream too

despite external pressure and projects highly beneficial for germany and to europe as a whole over as it's aimed at ensuring the energy security of the continent on its environmentally friendly in comparison to liquefied natural gas is an idea that's being forced on europe and in this project more to it much cheaper to process and we have plenty of experience in supplying this kind of fuel to the european market but i think we have proven ourselves to be a reliable and effective partner and we have never failed to meet our obligations i feel this is a win win deal which is especially important for germany as it turns away from nuclear and coal energy in favor of greener alternatives i'm not sure all gas is indispensable here. there was a mighty close and meeting from cooperation between russia and germany can have a positive impact on both international relations in europe on doors open problems around the world to the crisis in libya is one focus of our cooperation with berlin and we are also ready to collaborate on resolving the conflict in syria for

a long time we've urged our western colleagues to be more active and perturbing syrian refugees to their home selves but this is not always possible because of the need to rebuild infrastructure via some of our western partners are not very enthusiastic about this because they're all reluctant to cooperate with the legitimate government of syria all in all we're trying to create a positive agenda in the interest of furthering russia germany relations up next 3 on the ground delved deeper into the controversial iowa caucus site and if you're watching the u.k. exploring the realities of pop e-mails and dogged by dog. i began by the reason i am i.

am i want me there how do we find her i am. not there. join me every thursday on the all excitement chill and i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. china chose to build their economy in such a way as that spot on the crisis of the problem buyers and for that there is an economic model to and the u.s. could inherit a benefit of that economic belting a similarly the us build its economy in ways that cause other kind of extra analogies that are highly detrimental to the u.s. economy.

just. the rumor. that you're going to know. what i want. and that there's a number you know not. the way i was mochrie it through. last. the amount of cash that i'm not going to be able to. even put. a need the whole.

time after time so we're going on the ground after us state of the union address overshadowed by alleged dirty tricks of the democratic caucus and us here in britain downing street stands accused of dirty tricks against the press coming up on the show wiki leaks reveal d.n.c. dirty tricks against brody in 2 of the 16 but the chaos of monday's iowa caucuses reveal that nothing is change we ask a man who's been at the receiving end of the democratic party machine lawyer and former congressional candidate tim going over and does an e.u.

delegation to teheran heads home ahead of friday's washington talks how close are we to a transformation from anglo-american economic war in iran to full scale military geopolitical conflict we get a cia insider's guide to developments one month since the trump assassination drone strike as a suspected terror attack wounds 2 in south london what's changed since boris johnson used just similar attack in november for alleged electoral advantage we talked to former u.k. home office minister norman baker posable coming up in today's going on the gramophone. 1000 before impeached u.s. president trumps acquittal by the senate today his annual state of the union address over the whole world signals of what a trump 2nd term in the white house means for the planets of course 1st he'll have to beat the democrats in november but arguably they're fighting a civil war after monday's iowa fiasco joining me now from hollywood is tim kaine over who ran for congress in florida against d.n.c. boss debbie wasserman schultz thanks jim for coming back on last time we talked

about vote rigging i might get to that in a 2nd but do you think after the state of the union elite there in the united states that law and corporate media understand how much more powerful trump seems today than he did before the impeachment process began it is quite incredible between the mauler investigation and then the impeachment inquiry trying to talk you out it's only resit i'm not quite sure the democratic establishment is going to learn the lessons i wouldn't be surprised if they double down trickle down and try to find new impeachment articles i think it's a way of distracting from other investigations that are happening right now investigations of the democrats on corruption so no sign that the d.n.c. might say now after all they did say it was the russians the got trump elected no sign the d.n.c. will now say the d.n.c. got jump elected. now there's not a chance of that you know there's not much introspection at the d.n.c. you can't go through 4 years of absolutely vilifying donald trump and then suddenly

why so.
