this is the. over 24 hours of chaos but still no final result in iowa with. bernie sanders neck and neck in the 1st round race to be the 2020 west democratic nominee after focusing too much on external threats the vote was actually marred by a new out result counting. ignoring handshakes and whipping up speeches donald trump has his own style of battle with the democratic speaker during his our new address to congress. and transport is walked by scoundrel as a former figure skater publishes a rape allegations against her coach after 30 years of silence.
8:01 am
bringing you your news all hours of the day this is our 2 international thanks for joining us this wednesday. well let's head straight to the u.s. state of iowa because that the democratic party has revealed early results from its key caucus vote almost 24 hours later than expected with 471 percent of results now reported people grew to church has the lead with 27 percent in the 1st round it's the beginning of the race to see who will ultimately run in the 2020 u.s. presidential election but the party has been left reeling from glitches and its new mobile app which was actually meant to deliver fast results despite optimism was cutting up on the republicans. do you have a nightmare scenario and if so what do you do about it 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 ready to lose the starting pistol and settle for a race and at the end the prize is becoming
8:02 am
a presidential nominee and that the finish line stand around and wait to find out who won. it's 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 in consistencies was not immediately clear and required investigation which took time this is an embarrassment all they had to do was count the votes 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 votes county made by a secretive company called shadow inc that i suppose was the 1st clue the party
8:03 am
is saying on one hand we had inconsistences with the data then they say oh but the data is fine and it wasn't a problem with the app so that won't what was a problem with because we also know this take the app aside and say ok the absa failure didn't work you had precinct chairs who were calling back to the democratic headquarters last night some of them on the phone for 2 hours on hold waiting to call in and say one of these guys only had 6 people at his caucus site that is needed to get 6 votes and one caucus goes over to the headquarters and he's on hold for 2 hours and can't get anybody 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 certainly looks like they're at it again and with an eye towards helping this president to combat strums popularity
8:04 am
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 they reconstructed 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. money the effort is just to see trump have the last laugh. when will
8:05 am
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 finally seeing what the real threat is
8:06 am
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. but as we wait for the rest of those results to comment from me i will call chris ati's don't call to break down the current situation for us. edging by how the iowa caucus has been held this far it looks like one big mess of the electoral system really it's been over a day since the initial results of the votes were supposed to be made public and only 71 percent of them have even been counted nobody knows when they'll finish this process but so far pete booted judge has a slight lead over bernie sanders who's actually right now in new hampshire preparing for next week's primary there and the polls are already suggesting that he will win by a landslide over there now less than 100 percent of the votes were counted but both
8:07 am
candidates seem to have had 100 percent confidence in their electoral victory in iowa by all indications we are going on to new hampshire victorious. i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very very well here. it seems like they jumped the gun a bit and even more strange is that the 1st election results were actually announced even earlier when only 62 percent of the votes were counted why at that specific moment it's anyone's guess but on social media people found it pretty strange and a lot of people had a field day with these very early declarations just finished 62 percent of titanic and rosen checks future seems to really bright just for 62 percent of the 1906 world series and clearly the red sox won the whole thing that you just finished 62 percent of the drugs back and while that played to guys spewer so said he.
8:08 am
rest in peace. i'm 62 percent of the way through war and peace and man this napoleon character is unbeatable now after those 62 percent of votes were counted it became quite clear that had won the majority of the electoral votes but on the other hand bernie sanders had actually won more of the popular vote which is a strange aspect of the american electoral system where it's possible where a less popular candidate can actually win the election so as these votes continue to be counted we'll keep our viewers updated of course on the latest developments in the iowa caucus while the democrats were busy wondering where it all went wrong in iowa donald trump was giving his state of the union speech and how deserved private battle with the democratic speaker the president gave nonsupport i see the cold shoulder when she offered him a friendly handshake but it wasn't long before she got her revenge ripping up trump's right behind him and shaking her head throughout on whether donald trump

a former ice skating champion broke her silence after 30 years and her recently published books are out that ball accused her ex coach of rape now france's sports minister has demanded the figure skating president resign shot a deep inskeep brings us the story. 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 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

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. we're told it's a total meltdown confusion consumes iowa as officials struggle to report voting results for the botched i will caucus is the ultimate political metaphor of our times. china chose to build their economy in such a way as that spawned the crisis of the problem by iris and for that there is an economic model to and the u.s. could inherit a benefit of that economic downturn a similarly the us build its economy in ways that cause other kind of extra knowledge that are highly detrimental to the u.s. economy.

welcome back to the online debate over the wearing of head shop has been rekindled in sweden it's off to a mobile link to a song competition allowed he says of all ages to address that on screen image with the traditional muslim head skull for women. to normalise islamization every normal person with children should be terrified and disgusted. awful in the other public services and politicians not only have neutral
8:17 am
permissive attitude towards islam but also actively spreading it. and women in muslim countries risk their lives fighting male oppression and the libertarian veil here s.p.t. goes out with taxpayers' money making my children believe that it's normal for little girls to coverup. and in mid january to solve the swedish edition of elle magazine chose this job wearing influence over the 2020 look of the year this quickly triggered debate online on the fast of february which is wild job day it's what people cross the globe to and this is all because as women of all faiths that are not day to cover their heads as a sign of solidarity but running power on social media was the hashtag no hit job day with women arguing that the traditional head scarf is a symbol of oppression meanwhile in predominantly muslim egypt the country's top

court has upheld a 2016 ban on the niqab for staffa cairo university they ruled that the face veil actually impedes the community of atmosphere of a campus we put the issue to activists favorite man and reese everson who's a women's rights activists just. add 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 all there's definitely a community where this is a very real and present of here you know issue and concern and so we have to just
8:19 am
allow the app designers to kind of. basically play to their audience if you will i do find a huge problem in perpetuating this idea that children as young as 3 need to wear the he 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 am an advocate for no good job 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. united nations'

top humanitarian official has said more foreign troops stationed in mali or in the so how region will not save the african nation and its conflict against armed groups but actually political talks could cause the area in north africa has seen a surge in terrorism over the last decade the un statement comes off to france pledged an extra $600.00 soldiers to the struggling somehow region but some top of the $4500.00 french troops who are ready are you out of 5 chief in mali explain why the situation in the country is wasin and despite the increased security presence. if you look at the needs that have been identified for 2019 over $3000000.00 people needed support from humanitarian activists and we had planned to use about $324000000.00 however only 51 percent of has been received obviously you cannot cover the needs of people identified vulnerable if you will.
8:21 am
receive of the money particularly the situation is getting worse looking. situation where more people will need our support and. 1.1000000 people that are. of humanitarian assistance here's a quick break down of how that terrorist insurgency has grown in recent years and actually spread across north africa since 2016 the number of the heart attacks has increased 5 fold while thousands of people have been either killed or displaced in the latest incident on sunday 20 soldiers were killed by its going must fighters max a friend who's a fellow up the quincy institute for sponsor state craft thinks that any negotiations with terror groups won't end up being productive. a greater portion of international terrorism will move to africa specially so as well as in libya
8:22 am
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 brightness so it's very hard for me to imagine what the french will simply have $500.00 troops 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 groping in mali and throughout this a hell they do not want a peace process is it is the lowest group also very difficult to negotiate with 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. to one

final thing for you the u.s. could impose half your penalties on companies and entities involved in the construction of the north stream to gas project according to german media the punitive measures may be introduced to cite is this month the pipeline project would carry russian gas to europe via the baltic sea and it was among the topics we discussed exclusively with russia's ambassador to germany so again a child. we appreciate the german government's continued support for the north stream to display external pressure projects highly beneficial for germany and to europe as a whole as it's aimed at ensuring the energy security of the continent it's environmentally friendly in comparison to liquefied natural gas and idea that's being forced on europe this project were much cheaper and we have plenty of experience a. supplying this kind of field to the european market we have proven ourselves to
8:24 am
be a reliable and effective partner and we have never failed to meet our obligations 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 natural gas is indispensable here . yes no construct human lives in my view close on meaning from cooperation between russia and germany can have a positive impact on both international relations in europe on resolving problems around the world the crisis in libya is one focus of our cooperation with berlin 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 homes but this is not always possible because of the need to rebuild infrastructure 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 that's it

jobs don't buy dog. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell for actual food it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with an argument there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams close to the conflict i would say overhauls around money and most of them money is made. close one on each other because he knows each other this could be just the state of california alone to make $6000000000.00 a year off to prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care and one of my hair is a monster so you don't care about anything. and

the day this as the markets are rebounding from the coronavirus scare and that's not to say that things with the virus are under control in fact here is a look at the very latest numbers because the coronavirus has now exceeded 20000 cases in china the number of deaths is now up to 425 meanwhile chinese officials are optimistic that the efforts they have made to quarantine cities and roughly what 60000000 people within those cities will pay off the deputy director for medical affairs for china says that 74 percent of the corona virus deaths which is about $313.00 of them are in the city of the epicenter of the virus but those deaths could be attributed in part to a lack of hospital beds in the early days of the virus spread meanwhile singapore has confirmed 6 new cases of corona virus including its 1st local transmission but health officials there say there is no evidence yet of widespread transmission. in singapore because the markets in manufacturing those are still being affected

correct yes multinationals are still struggling as production has basically halted completely in china apple has announced that it has temporarily shut down all stores in china which means that it is losing approximately $850000000.00 a sales per week delivery and production will also include delays and analysts estimate that shipments will get cut by 10 percent in q one airlines are also suspending flights to and from china one of the busiest and most profitable routes delta america and alliance united airlines cathay dragon all nippon airways korea air and more they have canceled thousands and thousands of flights low cost carriers are getting hit the most in asia pacific areas are expected to lose more than $6000000000.00 in revenue in the 1st half of 2020 alone so you can see that any sort of interruption in china's economy will have a severe impact on the health of any major multinational that dominate the s. and p. $500.00 especially if we consider the fact that china's g.d.p. is now $14.00 trillion dollars or 16 percent of the total global g.d.p. .
