what i see is this is the. look. in the major blow to democrats the u.s. senate finds dull trumping not guilty on abuse of power and obstruction of congress charges. donald trump and he is. acquitted of the charges our republican colleagues have rejected. the fair trial. plus says the u.s. election primary start twitter follows you tube and changing policy on altering videos and images but the baby wording of the new rules sparks concerns the tech giants mase it to censor supporters of politicians they dislike.

and protests erupt across germany as the ruling centrist party breaks its own pledge and joins with the right wing alternative for germany and a regional tactical line. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our church q. and moscow thanks for joining us this hour. u.s. democrats suffered another bitter defeat this week when the senate voted down both their articles of impeachment against donald trump the acquittal comes a day after trump state of the union speech and voting out location malfunction at the democrats' caucuses in iowa house democrats refused to accept the impeachment defeat. ordered and adjudged that the said donald trump b. and he is here by acquitted of the charges in said articles he was acquitted without facts he was acquitted without

a fair trial and it means that his acquittal is virtually valueless because of the republican sit ins betrayal of the constitution the president remains in and growing threat to american democracy with his insistence that he's above the law that you can corrupt elections if you wants to. verdict from a fight trial with no witnesses would change the fact that the majority of americans know that trump is guilty trump is impeached and was not exonerated the same will last forever. trump faced charges abuse of power claims that trump withheld military aid in a bid to pressure ukraine to probe suppose of corruption and by potential democratic rival joe biden trump alleged that biden tried to quassia kiev's investigation into a gas company that hired by biden's son another charge was obstruction of congress or the president instructing white house aides to defy congressional subpoenas kelm up and takes a closer look well the impeachment proceedings have come to their ultimate

conclusion donald trump was acquitted on both charges abuse of power and obstruction of congress however even though it was a quick vote with very little unexpected activities there was certainly plenty of debate in the lead up to the ultimate vote and conclusion the proceedings your hatred of the trial of his bloody jew to the obvious. this is not about protecting the country this is about destroying the president a great miscarriage of justice in the trial of president trump as a result the verdict of this kangaroo poor will be meaningless they're going to refuse to accept this acquittal perhaps you will tear up the vertical that you took the state of the union address now at this point the result was one that was not really surprising the republicans have a very solid majority in the u.s. senate and it requires 2 thirds 67 votes to remove a sitting u.s.

president so clearly the democrats had nothing near that there was one interesting surprise which was that mitt romney who was a long time senator from the u.s. state of utah as was the republican presidential candidate in 2012 against barack obama he voted to convict donald trump on the charge of abuse of power he voted against party lines of the right making him now the only u.s. senator in all of us history to vote to remove from office a member of his own party a president from his own party now it's also important to note that this has not been a good week for the democratic party in addition to their failed impeachment proceedings there was an increase in popularity for u.s. president donald trump he has now got a 49 percent approval rating the highest approval rating he's had since taking office and the iowa caucuses in which the democrats took their 1st step toward

picking their nominee to run against donald trump in the 2020 fall elections did not go so well quite a debacle so not a good week for the democratic party donald trump will be speaking in response to his acquittal on the end of the impeachment process very soon and it appears that this entire impeachment situation is now past and the country is figuring out what will happen next as they move on. one of the problem spacing the democrats is that they have an extraordinarily weak slate of candidates and so there is real doubt within the party whether they can win to begin with and i think to some extent the impeachment was an attempt to overthrow the president without having to go through a lecture it was a debacle 8 they did a very poor job of presenting the case in the house and really it if you look at it

it's come down to an issue only gentleman from massachusetts should we or should we not investigate joe biden research possible protections for criminal corruption or maybe he did maybe he didn't do it of the but it certainly has this riddle with a very serious corrupt activities so i think the unsealing at this point is that putting instead of accuracy and sort of what you think of as and in the latest visit of seeding house of representatives senator way was just a referendum vote from a while and then another blow to the democrats caucus votes from the u.s. state of iowa are still being calculated almost 2 days on after an error and an application recording election data stopped publication of the results and just as key primaries come up twitter and here to announce changes to the way they fight doctored materials are to sell a quarter looks at the tech giants vague wording and the new rules. we all like a good many i know i do and that's why i'm here to warn you that their potential

not in danger because of twitter's new war on altered images and videos that might mislead voters we know that some tweets include many plaited photos or videos that can cost people harm today we're introducing a new rule and a label that will address and give people more context around this tweets twitter has boiled its definition of so-called doctor damages down to a few criteria editing of the contents composition changes in its visual or auditory information and anything that simulates real people but who actually gets to make the call on what does or doesn't harm is anyone's guess are these trump dog and rocky memes politically misleading maybe this one with bernie sanders is harmful a political satire well it's always bound to hurt someone's feelings but if you're not on twitter don't think this isn't going to step on your toes you tube's got its own version of this new policy of the 2020 lection season kicks into high gear in

the united states people who visit you tube to learn about the candidates and watch the election season. over the last few years we've increased or if it's to make. news and information as well as an open platform for who flee political discourse you remember that video trumps supporters made portraying their president massacring the mainstream media and the church it was funny to them to the mainstream media while they were a bit offended the white house correspondents association says it is horrified by this and is calling on president trump to denounce the video c.b.s. has decided not to show that video we can't show this video because it's so disgusting is extremely violent it is disturbing one man satire is another man's trigger there's bound to be those who will find hilarious songs like this one unhealthy for political discourse i love it when you. go.

did. their brain actually. let those bad liberating videos could also be interpreted as politically misleading you're probably a day think a bug just quickly here. we need new babies out there think we need time to make new ones because the old ones just become so big twitter's netizens have already picked up on the controversy because people were kind of decency is this i love how you use the word doctored because that's the elites attack on memes the left caught me on twitter oh yeah well now no one can make your bed in the names which may cause harm to the left we can read between the lines there would be no unapproved thought in the people's republic of twitter coverage it seems that without any ultimate authority to make the call on what is and isn't a violation so many decisions will be left to the rules vague wording who knows how internet freedom will fare as

a result legal and media analyst lionel is worried whether a tech giant algorithm can distinguish between subtle tones of humor or is deliberately designed to shut down critics they don't like. these companies these platforms have no interest in making anything safe or understandable for the user it's to limit it's to filter these are pretextual ruses these are and anyway real restrictions they're doing it just to be able to shut your voice down if they don't like it there is an algorithm that is going to look at this you don't have individual sifting through billions of means a day this is an algorithm and you're going to have to program sarcasm satire parody exaggeration how do you distinguish between these subtle hues the subtle nuances of humor and parody in the like this

is this is absolutely a a blueprint for at aster free. still to come and a nother time to pressure van as well socialist government donald trump i mean opposition figure had one wideout the latter declared himself the country's leader on that later in the program. protests have broken out across germany or an alliance the ruling christian democrats have repeatedly guaranteed would never happen they joined forces with the right wing alternative for germany party to win the central state attorney here reports. so often we're talking about high drama in german politics but it's fair to say that the political establishment has been shaken to its core over the role played by fall right on tea immigration party alternative for germany as kingmaker in state elections. well the public went to the polls back in october of last year into india but it was very tight and they've

been trying to wrangle out who's going to take over as the state premier amongst themselves in the state paula mint and that was completed on wed instead. by just one vote the free democratic party candidate thomas came in a quill be the new state premier his party only picked up 5 seats in the election back in october he gets the job a state premier thanks to the support of christian democratic union party members and glimmer parties worth noting their. alternative for germany a wealthy person who is ousted bodo around a lot of has described the election of mr kerik as a discuss thing sure and in fact the left party have been describing the free democrats as being willing to rule by the help of fascists the christian democratic union if they've come under fire from their party leader. has said the regional

party representatives acted without the knowledge or without the consent of central office this is not a good day this is not a good day for to be in chair this is not a good day for the political system in germany or what this is seen as protests across germany i. was. here in the german capital in those protests so focused on the headquarters of the free democratic party the people angry that the f.d.a. pay of broken well for many is one of the biggest to booze in german politics of getting into bed with alternative for germany the party leader christine lindner the head of the f.d.a. pay it done his best to distance himself under his party from alternative for germany. did he have d's support comes as

a surprise because it is not motivated by an agreement on substance but purely tactical the f.t.p. does not negotiate or cooperate with the d. there is no basis for cooperation kind of an awesome. the goals and values of that party while thomas kenniff accepted the votes from a day or 2 put him over the line and make him the new state premier into danger who has ruled out any coalition government talks in the states with alternative for germany 'd but this is going to have potentially big ramifications outside of the state of today in june in fact one senior figure within the christian democratic union again that angle and merkel's party has described this move as well playing with fire that could potentially or at least has set german politics ablaze we've heard from big time a solid germany is the left party whose furious at what he calls a right wing coup and firstly are turning for germany a spear by

a string of the question is what would the voters of on. the touring young people. said quite clearly we would like to have a conservative coalition and that this is the majority we had as they see do you have the f.t.p. if they have behaved majority and the communists and the socialists they were just ignoring it they wanted to build the government without having having a majority so they failed and how they are driving mad. but in the normal situation the a.f.d. would that would get a 2nd chance to build the government after the communists were not able to do that . just because all the other parties have a book a thing us we have to do it this way and of course it's a birth of this where you. have known this is unprecedented and we have

thousands of people demonstrating in the streets and the way by which they stole the rightful government from our party is by instigating the true basically it was it was secretive negotiation so when he says that we have eludes us then you have to look at the vote tallies and it was my party of the left party that actually won this election in choosing the man in charge of the a he is someone who has competed who has been compared by many many people to hitler himself so he's the most radical element of the a 50 and this man has now decided who will form the next government in choosing. a moscow court has given custody of a child to social authorities after parents failed to take her home for 5 years the girl has been living in the hospital almost her whole life despite doctors pointing out that she is perfectly healthy. this girl is 5 years old and she's had

it isn't that things for the. internet have looted. the memorial as madiba put it this movie is. jungle the girl bit rubbish on. all of the children is sick. or mother must answer i live in is very much athens has been struggling to contain a growing number of refugee applications and it's committed to relocate migrants stranded on its islands and to speed up processing of asylum claims but just a few 100 move to the mainland so far as migration minister is vowing to step up its response. a basic goal is to reduce refugee flows this will be achieved through strengthening border protection speeding up the settlement process increasing the number of returns and pre removal centers the number of immigrants and refugees is increasing all the time so it's very difficult because the you open the cases for

the political as a room and make the difference between the refugees and immigrants and to give to them the side room and to others note the 2nd thing is a political reason because the new government criticised the previous government it was too soft towards the emigrants of the refugees and they transferred over the capacity. of the authority of the. state of 'd immigration to the police but you know the police cannot cause the problem which is not a political police problem it's a 0 political problem according to the un refugee agency more than 74000 asylum seekers reach greece last year more than any other e.u. country more than half are in overcrowded facilities on greek islands and the un has sounded the alarm over deteriorating conditions in those camps which are home
