u.s. response to the zimbabwe and. government's violent crackdown on widespread protests last month is sided against fresh sanctions for zimbabwe and for now the arms embargo on the state owns of bubbly friends industry remains in place along with restrictions on former leader robert mugabe and his wife thousands of zimbabweans took to the streets to protest a one hundred fifty percent hike in fuel prices rising commodity prices are major problem and zimbabweans now have more difficulty putting food on the table about one in two people living in the capital harare now face food insecurity that figure is slightly higher than it was last year experts say the cash strapped government needs more than one point four billion dollars to feed its population so the use decision against new sanctions may be welcome news in the country and it is.

u.s. response was simply it's actually run party one state and it seems that the u.s. cannot choose in a better time to actually do this european countries are actually looking and weighing in of new introductions of sanctions against companies and countries when it's coming to cyber espionage and gathering intellectual property theft but as all this is how printing there's a government officials in germany which are saying that i'm getting more calls government right now is ruling out the ban of the. using chinese equipment supply for building its five g. network as germany is currently walking into the net and into building its five g. network europe is actually second largest market has invested billions and billions and into digital sector they've been working closely with major telecom companies are on the continent such as the way to telecom orange and bt and many others and as the u.s. is now trying to impose our blanket ban on chinese firms when it comes to the five g. market europe is actually on the horns of a dilemma. the head of germany's federation of indu

u.s. response to deploy its own midrange pershing missiles in europe was met with protests across the west the protests showed the need for a new direction the result was the i.n.f. treaty. it banned all ground launched ballistic missiles with ranges of between five hundred and five and a half thousand kilometers the soviet union got rid of one thousand eight hundred forty six short and intermediate range missiles in the united states eight hundred forty six before the implementation deadline in one thousand nine hundred one a total of two thousand six hundred ninety two missiles were destroyed. joining me now is russia analysts constantine egg gets a law school a welcome constantine we must all be quite happy with this us free to do as they please always russia be wide open you. well i think it cuts both ways and said it is clear that in some respects russia will be happy it will be a bit able to keep the end s.s.e. eight missiles that it has already produced as before the a secular state saying it will also be able to deployed were it wants and i think it was one of the sweeteners that j

u.s. response?well, i think it's putin blustering again psychologically trying to undermine the united states as he's done before, so successfully with obama, threatening escalation, as a result of that, no action taken. i believe what he should do here is what reagan did in the 80s when he deployed missiles to europe as a result of that, the soviet union came to the negotiating table and we got the 1987 inf treaty agreement. the russians have been violating that agreement. we should up our game in terms of countering that threat. we should not expose the american people to that threat or our allies, and i think as a result of that, there's a very good opportunity that negotiations will be restored again to put together a new treaty and this time hopefully be able to pull china into it. i think the president is absolutely on the right path here. i think he understands what putin is up to here. lou: general jack keane, always good to talk with you. thanks. >> good talking with you. lou: up next, andr

u.s. government reacting to that. well the reports are that it's already sent some gold to to the united arab emirates and more is to follow later on in the week there's been no formal response from the u.s. government to such but republican senator marco rubio has sent a tweet directly to the embassy of the united arab emirates here in washington saying that he has this information and he wants to remind all of those involved in trading gold from venezuela that they could be subject to u.s. treasury sanctions which have been put in place senator rubio also made mention of the fact that a company known as nur which is based in abu dhabi is the company that is

u.s. response secretary of state mike pompeo called maduro a sick tyrant for blocking the aid deliveries. tomorrow vice president pence will meet with guaido in columbia. joining me now is guaido's envoy to the united states. let me ask you, is the bulk of the aid getting through the columbian border, and why is it not getting through the brazilian border since both the columbian government and brazilian government back mr. guaido and are harsh critics of the current president -- of nicolas maduro? >> well, thank you fareed, for this opportunity. let me tell you the following. i have seen human right abuses since this regime took power particularly since 2014. but yesterday was a tragedy, a crime against humanity. what we saw yesterday was a regime killing innocent people trying to bring food and medicine to our country. so therefore, maduro is not only creating the human crisis in venezuela but also blocking the susolution of the humanitarian crisis of venezuela, and that has to be rejected by the entire community. >> again, why is it not getting through from brazil but from columbia? >>

u.s. response since two thousand and fourteen it pretty much has been the same response a very robust. aggressive response a lot of political back and forth with countries in the region about which local forces should be involved in trying to get rid of members of this or i sold and so this is. a situation where even though donald trump is taking credit for what has come about in the last couple of years he lived very much avoided the question of when the u.s. forces with leave he avoided the question of what financial support the u.s. would provide diplomatic support that the u.s. would provide and again this very vague appeal to the representatives of some seventy nine countries as well as of the european union to contribute more in the way of personnel and funding and diplomatic efforts to try to get rid of eisele if there was anything that donald trump said pretty much all here in washington agree on it's that this is a fight that is not going to be over a week from now as he suggested perhaps it could be he did say at the end of his remarks loren this is something unfortunately th

u.s. investments are organized in holding companies together these companies are said to be responsible for six hundred and seventy thousand jobs in the u.s. making germany one of the top three foreign employers there behind the united kingdom and japan so how do those facts and figures go down with the u.s. representatives and can germany together with its american business partner sway washington stance on free trade my colleagues and i caught up with the president of the american chamber of commerce franks for more she started by asking him about the danger of tariffs on european cars and to the likelihood of retaliatory sanctions on u.s. companies i think that you showed last time when there was a response to the steel and many tariffs that they're quite capable of picking out targets that are headquartered are predominantly in areas where a president from caracas most of his support and i know there's a lesbian work done with who's on that list but i want think it would be you know pretty unpleasant if you're one of the companies on that list and obviously you know everyone's trying no

u.s. response to that. quote, the world has witnessed the steady asen dance and the demands our full attention. from putin's russia to xi's china, to duterte's philippines, there is a global rise of autocracy and a growing appeal of the authoritarian model which ought to concern every american. which just has a different resonance when it turns out not every american has the same take on this issue or same instinct a authoritarian government has an i can factor when looking from an american perspective. when our current president came back from meeting kim jong-un in singapore last summer, he told fox news upon his return about kim jong-un, quote, he is the head of a country and i mean he's the strong head. do not let anyone think anything different. he speaks and his people sit up at attention. i want my people to do the same. i think it is fair to say it is not an accident that while president trump is meeting with an doubtly effusively praising and offering free stuff to kim jong-un tomorrow, house democ

u.s. response to this going forward? >> i just have to point out, what a desperate double standard.ke pompeoo calling nicolas maduro a sick tight tyrant, yet president trump had praise for kim jong-un who also engages in elicit activity. what we saw this weekend was trying to serve a dual purpose. ameliorate the suffering of people, and precipitate change on behalf of the security forces remaining loyal to maduro. net-net mixed results. we had several people die, which is horrific. the assistance, that which made it over the border, did not really get distributed. and there weren't enough defections that maduro felt like now it is time for him to leave power. that begs the question what's next. secretary of state pompeo has more sanctions on the table. i struggle to see where there are more financial pressure points and i've worked on sanctions. we have sanctioned oil and senior officials. the remaining factor here is whether we can negotiate with maduro's patrons, russia and china in this case, to try to get him out of power in a safe way, and to pave the way for democratic electio

u.s. to take a harder official line with beijing. so forty seven percent or almost one out of every two responses indicated that they would like the u.s. government to advocate more strongly for a level playing field and that figure is almost twice what it was a year ago so i think that's one indicator you know that our member companies are are both looking to the u.s. government you know for support in that respect and they're also hopeful beep said that at the same time american companies in china are increasingly worried that bilateral relations will deteriorate and they're hedging their bets by delaying investment or moving operations. u.s. president donald trump said on monday that he may soon sign an agreement with chinese president xi jinping to end of the trade dispute insisting negotiators were very very close to a deal. now meanwhile germany's economy minister peter has been meeting with key business leaders from the american chamber of commerce here in germany both sides will. to promote a free trade agenda despite the current headwinds from washington and the threat of high a tariffs on german cars and that is why germany

that means today was the first response by the u.s. the first time anything since san bernardino, since las vegas, since parkland, florida, since auroraurora, col. since sandy hook, since newtown. the first time they have responded in any way now that democrats are back in charge. also today, the house restarted hearings on climate change. at one point today, there were two climate change hearing going on in the house at the same time. one of those panels had not heard testimony on the subject in nine years. here's another one to keep an eye on in this new congress. last night of course was the president's state of the union address. he spent a considerable amount of time talking about the dignity of life, about the dignity of children's lives in particular. about the importance of protecting their right to live a safe and healthy life. what was missing from his speech last night, of course, was any mention of how his administration has been forcibly taking thousands of kids away from their parents at the southern border and locking up
