good evening thanks for joining us this is our c n n. ok let's start with a major shake up in german politics with a key regional prime minister quitting just hours after taking up the post starts amid a huge backlash over a political union that brought him to power. correspondence in berlin peter you outline the story for just one hour ago peter and things already changed quite dramatically bring us up to date. well germany in german politics tends to pride itself on being all structured not dramatic or for him buoyant in any way that certainly got out the window in the last 24 hours and it's been shaken to its very core it's all to do with what's been going on in the central state of turning in the parliamentary local elections that they had there they well they happened back in october of last year but it's taken this long for them to attempt

to put in place a prime minister for that state well that prime minister is now gone thomas kennedy who was the man who was put into place from the free democratic party he's now stepped down not only from his role as prime minister of the state of to new but also as the local leader of the free democratic party here's what he had to say. this resignation was inevitable the dissolution of the parliament is inevitable the f.t. tried yesterday with a perilous trick of damage democracy there was no cooperation with the a.f.p. there is no such cooperation and will never be. well he stepped down amid huge backlash from public and the politicians from politicians on the public i should say he's been condemned from on high for well

and on the free democrats for basically. entering into an unholy alliance as it's being called by some with the far right the right wing alternative for germany party even the german chancellor having her say on what went on. this is unforgivable and that's why the result must be reversed the election of this prime minister was a unique process that broke with the basic conviction of the c.d.u. and also of mine namely that no majorities should be won with the help of the f.t. this is a band day for democracy. language merkel had to say something because her christian democratic union well they were also all aligned with alternative for germany in backing mr kennedy for the role of leader of the state of to india that goes against promises that the parties made in the past also promises that angle a merkel has made in the past not to align themselves with alternative for germany

in fact doing so is seen as the big political to boo when germany. well ultimately this is a public relations nightmare for the christian democratic union which is angle of merkel's party because they were part of that alliance but particularly for the free democrats because ultimately it was their man who was the face of this it was

thomas kennedy who was elected at least for a few hours anyway as the prime minister of the state of today with the backing of alternatives for germany as well both parties have been doing their best to try and distance themselves from the union. point. eve does 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 we do not support the goals and values of that party or expecting to hear more from the man you just heard from their christian lin though as well as others on the spot ultimately where we are right now is parliament has been dissolved in the state of 10 year they will go back for fresh elections it's going to fall to the voters again to try and sort this mess out.

thanks peter although the least there live from. a good listener fiction now from the 1000000 cry he's also the deputy chairman of the f.t. in saxony welcome maximillian and i wouldn't blame anybody watching his scratching their heads trying to understand this story hopefully can shed a little bit more light on it just tell us a bit more about the resignation what does it mean paul. for the political system there. i mean what we see is really amazing remember of. aragon was unsatisfied with the election in eastern drew and then he called for reelection and what we see now in germany is the same or get america is not happy with the result of a completely constitutional election in one federal state and then she said well we have to do it again and everyone. is fulfilling her over there so the 1st thing we

see as. it did damage for democracy that we have because the political left wing a leader a centrist a leader bolen is not a willing to accept that in a federal state parliament elects a liberal a to be prime minister because to say he has the support of the wrong. of the wrong party if he into the 2nd largest force and people voted for them and we had a choice between a liberal which if he supported a very hard core left wing politician and now merkel says it's better to vote if former communist of the former communist east german state party instead of a liberal so it's the mosque ing for the central and it's so big a huge victory for if the unit of way. i just want to pick up on something you said because that was pretty much the question i wanted to ask i find this extremely

confusing it seems as though parliamentarians voted in a democratic process and for some reason certain people don't like the result but were there any rules broken any laws broken what is it that people are unhappy about. no. it was completely following the rules parliament voted with this majority for this liberal and it is clear that our deputies from f.t. also supported this liberal candidate but it's completely constitutional completely democrat democratic left wing candidate had no majority he had no majority in the election and he had no majority in parliament and a liberal had a majority in parliament so he was correctly elected but now the argumentation is because his maturity is based on. if t.

are members of parliament he is not allowed to except to get elected that is insane but it shows in which stage democracy in germany is now after a long government of uncle or merkel so we have a democracy problem in germany and there is no obvious to everyone who is looking at korea's affair that is what we say all the time so. we say we see now the problem we have with german democracy and i hope that the voters and tearing are the see it the same way. ok maximally thanks so much for your time leave it there i mean p.b.x. 1000000 crowd deputy chairman of the f.t. insanity thank you. keep things political in a blow to the democrats caucus votes from the us they divide were still being calculated 2 days on after an hour. in an application recording election day to

stopping publication of the results just as key primaries are coming up twitter and you tube of announced changes to the way they fight doctored materials and he's done a quarter takes a look at the take john's very good thing in the new rules we all like a good many i know i do and that's why i'm here to warn you that there are potentially 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 one man satire is another man's trigger there's bound to be those who will find hilarious songs like this one unhealthy for a political discourse. what it is boiled its definition of so-called dr 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 unfolds over the last few years we've increased or if it's to make. news and information as well as an open platform for healthy political discourse you remember that video trumps supporters made portraying their. didn't 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 and those bad liberating videos could also be interpreted as politically misleading you're probably aware they think a bug just quit right here. we need new babies out there think we need time to make new ones because the old ones just become so big twitters netizens have already picked up on the controversy because people were kind of these fantasies this i love how you used the word doctored because that's the and he said talk 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 will be no unimproved 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. a healthy girl who's been living in a moscow hospital a whole life is being handed over to social services that decision has been made by a court after her parents failed to take a home for 5 years this girl is 5 years old and she's had a bizarre sheltered life. this is the room where she lives it's not in a house or apartment and her relatives are not by her side it's an elite private hospital in central moscow and for entire life she has never left his grounds for the wrestling machine or stress me or her captain washington's embrace. if. you. can be. the voice or sharing is not her mother it's her

nanny the mother has decided that her daughter is hopelessly ill and must be confined to a hospital. however doctors say that the girl is perfectly healthy and there is no medical reason to keep her in the clinic although they have been unable to discharge her without parental consent you know the reason it she doesn't know and yet in life but she's a good normal girl the girl's parents have paid the hospital huge sums of money almost $200000.00 a year to keep her there in the company of private nannies almost a year ago the parents stopped sending their payments but they still refused to take her home and a legal battle has been raging so the hospital convinced the parents to leave their

child in the hospital all this time that's the logical conclusion of the child has been hospital for 5 years the parents are not doctors they just paid the bills how reliable is information the child is healthy and there is no need for her to stay in hospital. on monday the corps delivered its verdict. in your resume the parents are to be stripped of parental rights to the girl and she will be placed in the custody of child welfare services perhaps soon she will finally leave the confines of the hospital and see the world she has been drawing for all these years the parents can appeal the decision but officials hope to eventually give the girl over to her grandparents. more riot police have been dispatched to the greek island of lowe's bastardi the growing protest by refugees there this week officers fired tear gas as hundreds of migrants demanded better living conditions in the camps by goods at the overcrowded mortar camp on the island have complained of appalling

conditions 3000 person 'd facility currently houses more than 6 times that number of asylum seekers residents also say that there has been a lack of electricity and water. doesn't. have a lot to do on. this more you will get big problems in the jungle girl bit rubbish. all of chilling sick now. almost. ready and in the years very well latham has been struggling to contain a growing number of refugee applications it's committed to relocate migrants from islands to the mainland and to speed up processing asylum claims but we've just a few 100 relocated so far this is migration minister is vowing to step up its response m.e.p. stellar school ugly says that other e.u. member states have promised to do far more to help. unfortunately this behavior of the european union that abundance greece and italy with their refuges come in.

is unacceptable because according to previous agreements the the those emigrants and the richest blokes in greece should be ridiculed did too to the other member states of the european union according to the populations but there are some countries mainly the kind of research governed by the ride when governments they're not accepted even one refugee you know it's very simple when it comes to financial questions whether to repay your adept at center there are very strict but even just to come to the political questions concerning the show their human values the foundations of the european union their doing nothing. coming up anger in portugal over 80 you waste being dumped in the country i'll be back to details

after this break. chose to build their economy in such a way as that spawned the crisis of the problem virus and for that there is an economic. and the us could inherit a benefit of that economic penalty similarly the us build its economy in ways that cause other kind of extra analogies that are highly detrimental to the us economy. i walked through the streets of moscow now blood 100 people i was down he would have the changes of leukemia in the blood that they don't have to keep because in order for them leukemia they need the d.n.a. changes but they also need an environment that's receptive and one of the biggest

areas of growth in the future is be targeting. change you so the cancer doesn't want to. come back it's been a bad week for the democrats in united states but they're impeachment articles going to trunk came crashing down in the senate well a voting out where the virus in the wrong at the caucuses in iowa nevertheless house democrats are refusing 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 since betrayal of the constitution the president remains and go in threat to american democracy with his insistence that he's above the law that he can corrupt elections if you wants to know sham verdict from a fate trial with no witnesses would change the fact that a majority of americans know that trump is guilty trump is impeached and was not exonerated that same will last forever on face teach on his abuse of power claim that trump with held military aid in a bid to pressure ukraine to investigate dealings of one of his potential presidential rivals joe biden trump alleged biden tried to quash fears investigation into a gas company which had hired by the sun the other charge was obstruction of congress that was over the president instructing white house aides to defy congressional subpoenas more details his auntie's killable been. 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 blood 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 if 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 is a long time senator from the u.s. state of utah who 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 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 and 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 how in the name of god when do people proves seed with some take chiller theoretically only impeachment which is just to charge when they know under no mathematical model is it possible to gain $67.00 votes to remove this president it is the bill if everything's unconstitutional and if anything subject to impeachment removal it's the impeachment trial nobody understood what this president did nobody could understand it nobody what did he do he abused power what does that mean is it

a crime no he obstructed congress here is the best part he obstructed congress by implementing by using affirmatively using a constitutional provision called executive privilege it defies logic the payback is going to be severe and it's going to be serious in november when he wins reelection perhaps and a landslide and then hell will pay. thousands of tons of european wasted lumpers across portugal is provoking a massive public outcry raised residents that have been staging protests some of you can take an issue to cause. because they are showing you the smile is the worst thing we can smell it a kilometer away because landfill i have

a daughter who lives close by and some bearable somebody give us it's impossible to be outside it's awful we can't even drink the water it's contaminate. the screams came to we found out that's in portugal the waste management fee for landfills starts at $10.00 euros put some one of a new era of the average is 80 euros you don't have to be an expert to understand that there's a huge economic opportunity to attract rubbish to portugal transforming our country into a kind of dusted for industrial waste. stream and so that we're asking for the closure of the landfill because it is located 100 meters from a vocational college it is too close to the houses to therefore it does not respect legal limits and it is impossible to live like this.

come about with more analysis and guests on our top stories see you in 30 minutes. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the past 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. so the politicians have basically stuck the american public with the delegate to negotiate for drugs and

both parties who are financed very heavily by the pharmaceutical industry have done this so when your own people vote they should look at how much does this politician get from the power pharmaceutical industry. in his community there are people who believe that it's ok. 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 lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game and between the 2 most of the conflicts i would say

are over the homes around money and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes to get some 20 a life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care might anything. and this is a boom bust the one business shows they can't afford to miss i've been swan and i'm christiane washington coming out. i am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been. president found out the strength of the american economy and its state of the union address take a look at what the president said in the complex last week that's the latest on the
