3:05 pm
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. well the democrats to suffer another bitter defeat this week when the senate voted down both their articles of impeachment against donald trump democrats had claimed abuse of

his presidency has been unfair towards him because you know the press and the media you know everybody reflects on all the negative and we rarely hear and see what that humans that he has done in the bus to the world he's pretty good you know advertising down here there's a guy saying all them marketing p.r. skills so they can sell the idea struck. but you know that the miller in the investigation and the impeachment. in whatever way he could he took all the positives but in the end you know he has been winning and winning and winning every battle he had with the moon in this edition with the media with all the fake news and all the allegations that he has gotten you would think that anybody has you know skeletons in his closet if you had them we would already have seen them because you know he's been probably the most studied presidential figure in the history of the united states.
3:08 pm
and you can watch that interview in full on our website and also throughout the day and evening for the bulletin meanwhile donald trump gave his annual state of the union speech this week to the u.n. had his own private battle with the democratic speaker with the highest representatives with a no turnitin take on what happened his outings and. 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 at trump and house speaker nancy pelosi have taken playground politics to a whole new level you know these 2 characters in a room called the gun they would be happening next this is wasted on really good. comedy and handed a free speech to palosi and turned away. houston shake her hand although in his

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. oh. well you know the global economy you can see that it was in his 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 but not one bit diversity's including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o.

3:13 pm
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 a few cation of an offensive aimed at entirely different goals its real intentions are indeed to annihilate any a 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 talked balt last year a complaint was filed to the courts in france and josh and the senior members and no wanted as it was 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
3:14 pm
applying the shari'a imposed 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 for crimes committed by opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. ati paris political analyst and believes that cases like this should be better handled by the authorities. once you enter the european union you can go more or less where you want there are no border controls how we entered hungary would be an interesting question to know that what is. preposterous in 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
3:15 pm
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 you got the means to stop terrorism 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 huge it's already difficult capturing those who are not even in 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 competent a country going legal it's a university this is very bad press so there might be some really great 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 if the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time. another nice 2 u.s. soldiers have been killed and 6 wounded in eastern afghanistan province that after
3:16 pm
a joint u.s. afghan operation to clear an area threatened by the taliban came under attack yesterday. an individual an afghan uniform opened fire on the combined u.s. and afghan forces with machine gun we are still collecting information on the cause or motive behind the attack is unknown at this time and afghan defense ministry official said that the shooter was an afghan soldier who had got into an argument with american personnel before a thing fire if he should add to that 3 afghan commandos were also wounded and that the so the shooter was not a taliban in for traitor u.s. troops have faced growing hostility in the. country of late coming under increasing attacks but it comes as washington has been trying to reach a peace deal with the taliban and launched negotiations among afghans on both sides of the conflict in the state of the union address from stated u.s. so this was not meant to serve his will force and agencies for other nations
3:17 pm
research analyst at the center for conflicts and peace there is a sami has no doubt though that afghans will soon want american forces to leave. with all the collateral damage that's happening with all the civilian casualties that's happening the rest of the american allies you know someone that the americans actually helped to become the president the former president hamid karzai is even speaking against the americans and criticizing the americans for whatever they're doing in afghanistan and he thinks the american presence in afghanistan is a problem there's no doubt that the afghans are one point in a ritual you would want the americans to leave because no country wants to live under a corporation the senses very strong for afghanistan. now for the 1st time in nearly 100 years the domination of ireland's politics by its 2 main parties has been broken in fein a left wing populist party is tied with governing party in

3:20 pm
a perceived as being doing a good job with foreign affairs with what's happening with making sure our position is clear but also in talks with the u.k. but i think they took the ground of domestic domestic issues as you mentioned in your in your brain the beginning homelessness i think public service is the rise of living and alan has gone has got a little considerably and the populist may see that right because not to really address these issues properly. as the u.s. election race heats up twitter new chief have announced changes to the way they fight dr materials that they have been quite vague in their rules don't court reports. 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 plated photos or
