diplomat todd hines a good he's the author of what europe can mourn from truong. mr hines let's talk about brags that has been a for the past year and a half a very traumatic experience for the e.u. what can the europeans and the brits learn from trump about rex. well you know one of trump's main kind of emphases in foreign policy or when he looks at the world as the united states is part of the world is that donald trump sees as most americans traditionally have seen it the world is made up of sovereign nations with governments that are elected by the sovereign people and that sovereignty national sovereignty is deeply connected with democracy i mean if you look at the your european union i know very intelligent europeans very politically interested europeans astute europeans who do not understand the european union it's simply too far away and even if the intent might be to be democratically accountable the fact is the european union is not democratically kind of that because people don't really understand what's going on and they don't and they don't they aren'

so beyond this being an obvious broken little boy remains why does this public falling out between truong in-band and why does it matter. it met us because even though a lot of conservatives on now trying to distance themselves from steve benen siding with the president steve benen still reprints the ideology of at least parts of donald trump's base so as long as bannon is the head of the right wing conservative news platform he can still do some harm with the things he knows with the followers that he still has and of course donald trump has survived the worst scandals than this one but ultimately i think this will have neither trump nor ben and this is set definitely demagoging for both of them and according to this new book donald trump was shocked and when he won even he didn't want to win that's what we're being told i mean what does this mean if trump wants to maintain his base support as we move towards those november midterm elections. well to be honest i'm not quite sure about this particular statement of the book because seeing donald trump to me it seems that at least part of a

out and say oh we're hoping that the peace process going to be advanced by the help of president truong and then in december came the american declaration and drew some limbs and i think that a bus in a speech in ramallah was all about catering to his palestinian audience in the sense that he tried to face save after having been so positive about so i think it was more aimed and geared towards a domestic audience what we're seeing the sharpening rhetoric on all sides are saying and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he actually accused the boss of using trump's remarks as an excuse let's listen to what netanyahu said. as users. stick. to a secret we do. run away from the negotiations done it before you want to negotiate peace you've got to negotiate. we've never put any preconditions on the garage and . so we hear netanyahu is there saying that abbas is choosing confrontation over negotiation but is israel actually proposing new negotiations when i think what israel is trying to do at this point in time is to make the most of this very pro israeli presidency under trum and i thin

denies this was said to me if i should say the phone call was limited to an exchange of views and the truong did not second sons about the escalating violence in thin goodish white b.g. militias that have played a key role in helping us backed forces against the so court islamic state the turkish government courts the y.p. g terrorists. the shuttered turn of yielded us evidence of the force that turkey has brought to bear enough turkey's government is determined to press on with operation all of branch which to them has been a success so far. the operation will continue until the threat has removed. a little but the kurdish y p g wants the world to know that they would surrender the enclave without a fight. we will resist and will not allow the enemy to invade our land to the last drop of blood we have we will never retreat from here. those appear to be no idle words missiles fired from y p g controlled territory crashed into this mosque in the turkish border toad of kilis causing fatalities and panic as worshippers try to free the wounded from the rubble. the death toll rises on both sides

well as we heard in james's reports truong has attacked the media while in davos has accused the new york times of fake news the newspaper said that last june truong wanted to sack robert the special prosecutor who is looking into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election but he backed down when the top white house lawyer threatened to resign practical as more. publicly donald trump is often dismissed the investigation into potential collusion between his campaign and russian operatives but there are now reports he ordered the man behind it fired last june but apparently white house attorney dan mcgann threatened to quit in protest so the president backed down trump had his usual response to the news thank you so thank you. thank you thanks thanks george but here's what we do know trump has seem fixated with the russian vest a geisha and it started on march second of last year when attorney general jeff sessions recused himself from the investigation trump was furious saying sessions' was supposed to protect him on march twentieth f.b.i. director james comey admits the

truong -- mrs. trump's focus on her family and her role as first lady.>>> health officials tracking the flu season say it has been severe with the entire country dealing with the impact. california numbers show there have been 97 deaths of people under the age of 65. the state reports 23 deaths just in the week from january 14-20th. this year's a strain -- researchers say appears to be stronger this year than it was last year. it is not clear why.>>> behind every number is a person. someone who had a life and people who love them. a man from san mateo county. he got the flu a few weeks ago and last night he was taken off of life support. robert ross spoke with his family.>> reporter: these are two other people jason barbeau left behind. his wife and sister. they cannot believe he died from having the flu.>> i haven't wrap my head around it yet. it has been a treacherous three weeks.>> reporter: he was home on christmas day but wasn't feeling well. at 44 years old and perfect health he thought he cou

our heroes have arrived in north dakota stephen is battling for six truong wins along with narrow roads of the band. besides the early strong winds stephen is also distracted by the cuteness so rio de janeiro. now they're heading toward to contrast the best ever. but when. they had a somewhat he said there was like something about seeing ball on this road. on this road would probably buy the water and wait a minute wait a minute when i left a sec this could be it this could be a. chicken or. steven i'm accept made their way to the sitting bull monument to pay their respects oh well people burn and stuff and everything oh yeah this is it to turn you take. time ok ok the talk of it i think is how you sell your town. otherwise on a single day this guy pete custer along with his whole tribe and crazy horse. he's one of the greatest american heroes of north america all the america's great warrior great wisdom great learned man. the idea is that this is a memorial and burial ground but it's not confirmed. this is it this is the memorial. i guess just looks like something kind of humble for th

power wielded by a president named truong i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. to look at should i make it clear that we do not accept america as mediator between us and israel. this is really new. should be done fortunately our american colleagues and their allies still want to do business based exclusively on ultimatums and dictatorship. should stick and now the u.s. has acknowledged that this hasn't stopped liston an army of terror along not countries border. she's up to us to drown in this economy of terror before a. bull market. also coming up at policing content on social media we'll meet a woman who quit her job as a facebook cyber cop to save or sanity her story in about seven minutes. we begin the day with the slap of the century now that is how palestinian president mahmoud abbas has described u.s. president trump's decision last month to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital abbas has rejected any future role of the u.s. as a mediator in peace talks with israel say should be ashamed of himself or today abbas added his own fuel to the fire when he pu

now held a we've talked about heads of state all week but no one received the welcome mr truong did today i mean you were there let's take a look at when he entered the congress center today and if you could maybe we'll see those pictures there we go talk us through this helena i mean what was it why when he came in. for that i've never seen the congress and like it was packed out as he cut through that courage or everybody was up the stay as cameras everywhere waiting you know people say what's your message he said it's one of peace and prosperity switzerland he said the great country one person said thanks for coming that didn't play out very well on social media if it wasn't met with a too much concern here he then proceeded to help to hold talks with britain. prime minister cerise in may and israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu his own i believe two big allies here really at the moment and we understand it then he's gone on to host a business dinner with big company has tonight yeah i mean when you look at these pictures i mean it looks like you know it looks like he's coming hom

century again absolutely right i think it's much worse than the cold war and the funny thing is that truong accused. and given off on isolating north korea economic and while they're not just a squander a support russia in the same group. north korea and iran so you have to do we have to we have to point out here is that russia was saying and then they asked the u.s. as the russians the saying north korea i mean that's a really rich gentleman and the recent talks you know there is some discussion in the u.s. congress on each woman's threat russia and north korea that the russian propaganda that sounded to me like a rag tag and we're going to discuss it with this thread north korea and russia ok you go in the direction i want to go to let's talk about what's going on in social media i suppose all of us got that little note from twitter i did not want you to get one i didn't get what i want. wow if you get one they probably gave up on me i didn't get that while i was on the ground. but you know what it was you know what i would suggest to our viewers anyone that i think almost seven hundred t

take back congress when it comes to the november elections do you think the republicans would hold truong to account if that happened if they lost a significant number of states in midterm elections or do you think they're determined to work together no matter what i mean if we don't look too far ahead but look back on this first year republicans have fallen lockstep everything shall pass so i mean you can say chuck has done some things that have at least been out of the ordinary but paul ryan mitch mcconnell republicans in congress have not hold combo i mean there has been absolutely no limits on charm they have pretty much done whatever he says so i'm looking at republicans to take more responsibility and actually be a check and balance also on trump but again republicans are pretty much in lockstep with trump and i don't see a change in the near future. people didn't expect trump to be elected generally a lot of people didn't think he would last a year can we expect him to last the term i mean after last year i think a lot of us should get out of the prediction business and not a membe

bearing in mind that relations between turkey in the us and faced a number of hurdles of late i'm chris truong lee against american support for kurdish fighters in syria while washington's refused to extradite for teller girl and you're accused of masterminding the twenty sixteen coup attempt plus in august u.s. authorities charged president it with bodyguard with attacking protesters in washington . so the else brewing today america's relations with pakistan look to be turning sour as well of to washington suspended its security assistance to the country which is long been its ally in the fight against terrorism in afghanistan we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at this time intill the pakistani government takes decisive action against groups including the afghan taliban and the haqqani network we consider them to be destabilizing the region and also targeting u.s. personnel the united states will suspend that kind of security assistance to pakistan it's in the wake of trump's first tweet of the year which outlined his regret at the u.s. paying pakistan

russia he got one it's a russian woman who has half russian children ties to russia and the list truong is mine after all his crimes that he should be grateful to russia for love throwing him behind bars while it was still possible condition as to board of congress withstanding the gravity of the allegations mr brown has testified before the us congress during the summer of twenty seven mainly talking about the alleged complicated collusion of. mr rather you have given us the first an insight into putin's russia you may have done more to fight corruption worldwide than any other individual and i appreciate what you have done thank you for uncovering the facts and i'm sure how i can tell it's difficult to talk about the life and tragic death of your friend and someone who is your colleague i want to join my colleagues and thanking you for being here today and admiring your courage and tenacity. perceptional mr browder will change for the publication of simpson's testimony. i don't want to sound naive but i really hold this history will end with a victory for common sense to me here becau

karsten so beyond this being an obvious broken bulletin mayence why is this public falling out between truong in-band and why does it matter. it met us because even though a lot of conservatives on now trying to distance themselves from steve benen siding with the president steve benen still reprints the ideology of at least parts of donald trump's base so as long as ben and is the head of the right wing conservative news platform he can still do some harm with the things he knows with the followers that he still has and of course donald trump has survived the worst scandals than this one but ultimately i think this will have neither trump nor ben and this is set definitely demagoging for both of them and according to this new book donald trump was shocked and when he won even he didn't want to win that's what we're being told i mean what does this mean if trump wants to maintain his base support as we move towards those november midterm elections. well to be honest i'm not quite sure about this particular statement of the book because seeing donald trump to me it seems that at least part of

you you cover the european union on a daily basis what i mean what do you say about this that that truong and trump's allegiance to this or famously of the nation state that that is something that the european union could you know take a lesson from. i think we should start this conversation here with a very common misunderstanding and that is the picture that european affairs are run by brussels by a euro crack ticket leap that like its supra national state is running affairs and it can be self-critical here maybe part of the reason that that impression is come across is that we as correspondents as well sometimes refer to russell's and brussels says this brussels does this you ask me what how is brussels reacting the truth is this is a club of twenty eight nation states and in the past five years in brussels if i've learned one lesson it would be that affairs are run by nation states they are in the driving seat they're the sovereigns here nothing moves without a summit where everybody agrees on policies there are some things where we need unanimous decisions by all member states all ha

dropped from the keys after they called her him to be questioned later that day i had a meeting with truong jr i asked him to look into this case and to encourage congress to investigate mr brown this actions aimed at manipulating public institutions in the united states you learn simpson who worked in our team former russian client also happened to be connected to the dossier the congressman investigating the case obsessed with this date because they hoped to prove they had a meeting with glen simpson that day and this caused the meeting was trying jr assuming that my main goal was to blackmail donald trump. has just mentioned bill browder who is also mentioned by simpson he was an investor in russia and later was accused of masterminding a large scale tax evasion scheme his attempts to lobby against russia was one of the main talking points between president sky and trump jr. because goto believe world anymore that among the talking points disclosed in the memo besides the russia trump collusion of course bill browder in it simpson slams the former businessman on several occasions with us

worth it in mind that relations between turkey and the us have faced a number of hurdles and chris truong against american support for kurdish fighters in syria for a start while washington's refused for to the girl and he's the guy in korea cuse is of masterminding the twenty sixteen coup attempt then in august you may recall u.s. authorities charged present day the world's bodyguard with attacking protesters in washington also spoke to middle east expert ali risky thinks the turkish leaders latest word should be taken seriously here this isn't the first time that the turkish president of. iran makes such fiery statements when it comes to something i think yes it's very possible or do go on in the midst of it do obvious disagreements with the americans has responded by further strengthen ties with countries like russia and iran where you do have this anti uranium iranian atmosphere which is prevailing in washington and so i think that further pushes the entire thing anyone who could be associated with being close to iran if you if you take it from that perspective it could be politically

the washington press corps and the mainstream media news troops and throws them into disarray which truong thrives on and after he's done with bannon he's going to say something about france or italy or or some of his neighbor has someone this is his pattern does anybody not pay attention trump for arrives on this he loves this. with his first anniversary in office approaching the u.s. president's been talking up his economic record in typical style meantime economic miracle created more than two million jobs unemployment is at a seventeen year the stock market is at an all time high fantastic for the economy our economy has already surged to three percent growth unemployment is at a seventeen year old liberated the american economy and our economy is doing well but while money doesn't president trump's optimism is former u.s. congressman ron paul he's spoken to us he told us that the growth in the u.s. is principally benefit to those already at the top if you're in the stock market a wealthy person here doing quite well but what we're forgetting here when we listen to this rhetoric of all

democrats have been wrong to block a temporary funding bill but he said he didn't agree with president truong that the senate will should be changed so a budget could pass with just a simple majority trump says the publican should use the so-called nuclear option if the stalemate continues and we all know in the front of the minority. the power available for our support right from after a traditional point of view but the question is when you use it. on friday the democratic leader made a huge schrödinger and destructive choice to filibuster our bipartisan bill and guarantee the american people a shutdown of their federal government americans know why the dysfunction is coming dysfunctional president hence we are in a trump shutdown and party leaders who won't act without him it is created the chaos and the gridlock we find ourselves in today it will really stems from the president well my comment has been following developments that while there are of them pushing said so mike are there any developments as congress closer to finding a solution. well what you can hear there is a blame game co

interview since taking office truong was questioned by britain's i.t.v. about his retreating of anti muslim videos last year and november trying to shed three inflammatory videos from the felt far right groups and first he was condemned by the u.k. prime minister tourism a for doing so i see these piers morgan os trying to say sorry for the post but he fell short of giving a full apology is the exchange a minute an apology out of you just for the retreats of well if you're telling me that he would go along with his words dear if you are telling me that are horrible people horrible racist people horribly i would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that i knew nothing about them i never disavowed it's over people are i don't want to be involved with people are you telling me about these terrible because i know nothing about these people. techies president says the drive to push kurdish fighters out of northern syria will continue as far as the border with iraq takesh forces have been fighting for a week now to expel the kurdish why peachey militia fr

damaging revelation of the book and it's compounded by the fact that it comes not from an enemy of truong but from a former ally from steve benen because this mading what it came out several months ago was the first confirmed evidence that trumps inner circle were talking to the russians and that they were talking about using material including possibly stolen easement e-mails in the campaign now the fact that the meetings occur lor's investigating that as one might have been ari but of course there's a second on of inquiry and that is that trump has denied any knowledge of these meetings and that indeed has been accused of dictating a false number random about the meetings and that could constitute obstruction of justice which is both a legal criminal charge and also political charges that could lead to impeachment as kanakas said the president's strategy right now seems to be to portray bannan and the author of this book as a lie as he's also threatening to sue do you think he will actually go ahead with court action and that would be particularly risky for him wouldn't but i think it's
