thank you if you're the future leaders. from election confusion and i want to donald trump's impeachment acquittal we look at a week of frustrations for the us democratic party. also this hour the arrest of an alleged war criminal who lived in hungary and then france on a student visa reveals serious and apparent flaws in the e.u. which could allow terrorists. and in thailand a soldier goes on a shooting rampage killing 26 people and injuring more than 50 others authorities killed him after a lengthy standoff. this

is the weekly here on our team welcome to our roundup of the headlines that shape that we. now it has been a tough week for the u.s. democratic party its officials have tried to verify data for several days after a technical glitch in the voting out for their caucus elections in iowa despite all precincts information now being in the final results remain unclear the party has apologized for mistakes in the procedures and even called for a complete review of the voting tally was also marred by chaos in the reporting process and accurate calculations unexplained consistencies and missing data at all the while the campaign obsessed with suppose an external interference. driven 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. i'd settle for a race and at the end the prize is becoming the presidential nominee and that the

finish line they stand around and wait 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 america speeding or veterans setting isis prisoners free losing don't reconfirmed ladies and gentlemen the worst is yet. here comes the incompetence part these groups

a pact 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 a democrat stop blaming russia russia russia instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster that just happened in the great states of iowa i hope that the i were democrats will ask for an f.b.i. investigation on the app i believe that russia has been engaged in interfering with a number of our elections dealing with the 21 election say i'm sorry the 2016 election 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 or 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

democrats suffered another bitter defeat this week when the senate voted down both their articles of impeachment against donald trump democrats had claimed abuse of power accusing trump of withholding military aid to pressure ukraine into probing supposed corruption by potential democratic rival joe biden the other charge was obstruction of congress or the president allegedly ordering white house aides to define congressional subpoenas house democrats refused to accept the impeachment defeat the trump was jubilant did nothing. i've done things wrong in my life i will admit not purposely but i've done things wrong. but this is what the end result is. i was acquitted without facts he was acquitted without a fair trial and what he says or whatever headline he wants to carry around here impeached for ever how in the name of god do people proceed with some titular 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 nobody understood what this president did he abuse power what does that mean here is the best part he obstructed congress by implementing its about usury affirmatively using a constitutional provision called executive privilege it defies logic meanwhile donald trump also gave his annual state of the union speech this week and had his own private battle with the democratic speaker of the house parties in case you missed it looks deeper. thank you thank

yet the state of the union is in a bit of a state and there's not much union she was just angry she ripped up the she ripped up the speech i prompt in house speaker nancy pelosi have taken playground politics so a whole new level you know these 2 were characters in a wrong call i think i know would be happening next this was really good. commie and handed over to pelosi and turned away to shake her hand although in his defense did just try and get him impeached says' pelosi having decided that on this occasion she would not be right above it getting her revenge but takes out. what you begin to see how rich those bits of paper. really think. while we're here just take a look at voice president might. we all want to find someone that looks like.

trump's comb over there has a couple more points where joining us in the gallery is the true and illegitimate president of venezuela one why do this is the point we show that even in the darkest of times there is one thing we always you know republicans and democrats that is their ability to meddle with a foreign government this is how to win if you speak for the miracle for our spirit is still young. the soul is still rising. is still shining. and my fellow americans the best is yet to come which is definitive proof of one thing there's no way out of the problem wife is a speech is. to france now. a former spokesperson for a syrian rebel group has been arrested on charges of war crimes and torture that you hondas lived in hungary for months before being granted a student scholarship and more say they were only tipped off after

a human rights group pointed out his real identity charlotte devinsky looks at the loophole that allowed him into the. torture kidnapping war crimes these are just some of the charges brought against the syrian who was in france on a student visa he went by the name of mushed enough may in france back in syria he was is a lowish no ordinary student he is said to have once been jayashri islamic press secretary previously nor did his freedom fighters the hardline islamist group in fact carried out a reign of terror in the eastern ghouta suburb of damascus. where

you the global economy. and he said linked in profile he describes himself as being specialized in security and terrorism affairs with a focus on syria he boasts of an impressive academic background with bachelor's degrees from no one but you diversity's including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o. of the syrian news monitoring network may trace of the allegations of torture or forced in this moment of children raising his history seems an apt given that all islam ceased to exist back in 2018.

as the battle for eastern ghouta played out the french government said it was concerned about a grave violation of human rights and it called for a cease fire now while it acknowledge the presence of just harvests it also accused president assad of using the ongoing conflict as a fig leaf to wipe out any opposition. the syrian regime and its allies are brandishing the fight against jihad his fighters the need for which no one is disputing as just if occasion of an offensive and as entirely different goals its real intentions are indeed to annihilate any normal position and break the morale of civilians by indiscriminately massacring them following that offensive in eastern guta by the syrian army generational islam was talk balt last year

a complaint was filed to the courts in france and germany and the senior members and no wanted as one criminals. the complaint filed in june 29th teen was built on over 3 years of documentation of the crimes perpetrated by jaish al islam summary executions kidnappings and the systematic use of torture the group targeted people suspected of complicity with the regime but also ordinary civilians accused of not applying the shari'a posed by the group rigorously enough the international federation for human rights says the arrest of most enough where in mass a paves the way for the 1st investigation of the rebel groups crimes others may be hoping that arrests such as this will help shed more light of crimes committed by opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. altie paris

political analyst nicol america believes there will only be more fear and anger unless the government handles the issue properly. once you enter the european union you go more or less where you walk there are no border controls how we entered hungry when we didn't know interesting question to know that what is. prosperous and this in this situation is that he entered legally he wasn't even hiding he was living in white which is a neighborhood in the center smack in the center of more state studying in france with no problem whatsoever that means the police cannot do their job properly today in western europe they don't even know who's in the country we've gotten so low as to say that we don't even we don't even know if we got the means to stop terrorists we don't even know if terrorists are in the country we know there are some but we don't know how many and it's you know it's already difficult capturing those who are not even hiding so i think definitely this is going to hurt a bit the government because this is very bad press very bad press having a terrorist. somebody accused of terrorism entering legally come from another country going legally to university this is very bad press so there might be some

coups in the following days but i think unfortunately if the government doesn't handle the process of immigration illegal immigration illegal immigration and the secret service it's the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time. a tie soldier who killed his commanding officer stole weapons from a military base and went on a massive shooting spree has been shot dead officials say a dispute with health service members was a motive. but. because. he was

scared and ran to the tour that's to hide to play the game trainer told us to hide so will last but it will be plenty of people saw him and in the. mall everyone random people were falling down pushing each other trying to escape and set themselves on that heard gunshots trying to stay calm the authorities will come and help you stay calm. thailand has one of the very high homo site the raids it has higher per capita than the united states lately there is a huge tension that is a social thing and should in thailand the income disparity is through them and those prices sort of very high tide. realistically high as well which makes it very difficult for both tens of millions of thais to actually sort of buy on the surface or the politeness and the smiles there is

a lot of anger and frustration. and a major shake up in german politics i can't regional prime minister has quit just hours after taking up the post that's amid a huge backlash or an unprecedented pact between the ruling christian democrats and the rightwing a.f.d. party that brought him to power protests erupted across the country against the most of.

after quitting else prime minister in the wake of the growing scandal thomas kamarck insisted that future deals with alternative for germany are out of the question. this resignation was inevitable the dissolution of the parliament is inevitable if detroit yesterday with a perilous trick for damage democracy there was no cooperation with the f.t. there is no such cooperation and will never be told us carrick they're quick to say that he had nothing to do with the deal with alternative for germany but well well how long he sticks around at the higher levels of the free democratic party with that may be measured in hours similar to his reign as prime minister of the state of today in jail he's fairly much in the firing line at the moment and has been a huge backlash to this situation it's unfolded into india backlash from politicians also from the public is well it follows that this union basically

disallow between the c.d.u. which is angle of merkel's party and the right wing alternative to germany part of the f.d.a. to support and back thomas kennedy to be the prime minister of the state of to even get that resulted in condemnation of condemnation from all the high angle of merkel herself having something to say about it sign this is unforgivable and that's why the results must be reversed the election of the prime minister was a unique process that broke with the basic conviction of the c.d.u. and also of mine namely that no jury should be one with the help of the a.f.p. this is a ban today for democracy. chancellor merkel have to say something because she often repeated that promise that there would be no alliance between alternative for germany and her pristine democratic union it's really seen as the big to boo in german politics to have anything to do with

a day to try and use them to gain power in fact you saw large demonstrations across germany on wednesday evening against what we've seen happening today nya christian linda who's the head of the free democratic party that thomas kennedy belongs to at least for now in fact has called for a vote of confidence while speaking to the party leadership when it comes to the c.d.u. themselves local representatives in the states of today just saying they don't want to see new elections in the state it does look like that's the direction we're heading in at the moment when you look at that it's hard to think that would have been possible just a short while ago while angle a miracle was hades of the christian democratic union that there would be a local faction of the pasty that would be so publicly. moving against what head office is saying is one of the smallest states in the german federal republic it's the rock that's being thrown in there and not pool has

certainly cast ripples far afield. we've got reaction to this story from different sides germany's political spectrum. 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 the political left wing a leader of the centrist elite and bowlen is not a willing to accept that in a federal state parliament elects a liberal to be prime minister because they say he has the support of the wrong after all party if he into the 2nd largest force and people voted for them it shows and which states democracy in germany is now after a long government of and good are merkel to lead the regional federal government

and you left it through fascists this is a. group of a job whose it's not a question of legal it's a quest question of politics and this year. of course in the professional political. system on the federal level you are professional you move all and you think forward ritchson are you. and if you know that sooner you can happen the. trick tries to bring in. government religion to meet it it's all just politics you should do anything to him. as the us election race heats up twitter and you tube have announced changes to the way they'll fight dr materials are quite out looks at the tech giants and 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 they're 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's satire is another man's trigger there's bound to be those who will find hilarious songs like this one unhealthy for political discourse rather coldly. and. what has 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. good use 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 and those bad liberating videos

could also be interpreted as politically misleading you're probably on the day i 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 in the set talk on memes the left caught me on twitter oh yeah well now no one can make your bed in the eams which may cause harm to the left we can read between the lines there would be no unapproved 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. in 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 the parents can appeal the decision but officials hope to eventually give the girl to her grandparents. 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 in my case. you. don't have to be here to accomplish. 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 no one isn't 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 i think that's the logical conclusion if the child has been hospital for 5 years and 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 that the and your resume can 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 that's a recap of just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days for all the latest and up to the minute reports lost on twitter facebook.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

welcome to front running 2020 coming to you from brooklyn as we take a look at all the economic policies of the democratic candidates they say it was bernie sanders the man from brooklyn who 1st introduced medicare for all in 2016 hillary clinton called it a shiny pony for the people well it looks like the united states might actually get universal health care for the 1st time and i want to introduce our guest here dr michael hudson james howard kunstler and randy bowler dr michael hudson why does the united states not have universal health care and do.
