western europe, as well as most of the african continent. so in singapore, we will see it. and hong kong have the same time. getting to see this moon? around 8:00pm tonight, all the way to about till 11:00pm. blue moon turning red because of the lunar eclipse. all right, it's a once—in—a—lifetime experience. the last one was way back in 1866, 152 years ago. so, after 2018, when can we see this super blood blue moon again? i think you and i can live to see it. it's ten years from now. why ten years from now? well, because of the orbit. so the timing is not as constant throughout. we will see this treat in ten years' time. you have been watching a special edition of newsday. stay with us. we will bring you donald trump's state of the union address in full. here on bbc world news. expected to depart from there in about five minutes' time. about five minutes' time. state of the union address to the nation. nation. uplifting, optimistic and a patriotic speech. and it is going to turn colder. arriving on wednesday. all the way from the arctic is starting to set in. on wednesday,

fundamental problem is that we have to we have to start understanding this independence between western europe and russia and i think good example of what's going on this is a trait. between russia and the european union last year do you know what happened trade increased actually the news exports to russia increased more than china's exports to russia and and the trade figures increased. more than twenty percent last year in spite of suspension in spite of counter sanctions so there is an independent interdependence and we have to be able to find ways and means to cope with each other's i spoke about this going as i spoke about this confidence building measures i think it's very important to go back to the one hundred seventy five let's look at very carefully what we decided to do in helsinki ninety seventy five i believe that many of these ideas.

of the things they have done in addition to making sure to the russianse population in all of western europe what they actually are doing. are talking we about russian interference in the united states and whether there was collusion between the trump administration and russia. that is obscured on a much larger discussion that should be taking place about whether or not what russia is doing and the rest of the world -- in the rest of the world right now. part of it is pulling the band-aid off. recommend in the international commission and immediately we got a response from a number of european leaders wanting to set up an international commission, an independent commission made up of all parties in europe to actually spend time and do what we have not done here. look at what russia is doing in europe right now that they -- their public does not know. is there is not much discussion and our leadership has been advocating. your point is, there are three ways you lose power. one is to advocate. well, that is what we are doing. part of it is going out and telling the truth. lay out what is happe

turned corruption into a foreign-policy tool and a weapon that is being used in extremely well in western europe and other parts of the world. it is a matter of us speaking up and speaking the truth. we do not have to make any of this up. article -- this is where you jump in. >> it will be the last time you do that. [laughter] >> in the article, "washington needs to spell out clear consequences for interfering with a u.s. democratic process or tampering with critical u.s. infrastructure." what should we be doing? not in terms of protecting our infrastructure or voting machines, but what should we be doing? should there be and what should it look like in terms of our retaliatory dimension to u.s. policy? and what is the were to happen again. >> my sense is that we need to look at this more broadly than the narrow scope of election meddling. the strategy of strengthening our alliances, helping our partners in europe by investing in energy security, reducing vulnerabilities at home -- i think this is key. in terms of financial transactions, money laundering, real estate deals, we need to make ourse

he said this is going to preclude people from western europe from coming in and we're going to get people from africa and other countries that aren't from western europe and they're going to overrun our country. that's what he said in 1965 when they passed legislion. he's one of your heroes. >> dwroun wyou don't know who m are. i knew senator ted kennedy, and there is zero chance that he would have ever said i would love to have more people from norway than people from these shithole countries. you know why? because he didn't think white people were inherently better than brown people, that's why. >> what ted kennedy said in 1965 was very clear. >> -- people anxious for opportunity. i get what you're doing. i would even give you a golf clap for looking back into history and finding something to make an analogy zblotsds i come prepared for you, baby, because that's what i know. >> but you don't seem to want to own about what the president said. >> chris. >> he said he doesn't want poor, brown people. he wants the nice white people to come. >> that's a great story to say he's a racist. >> i

approximately 40% of those seen were seen at clinical sites in north america. 21% at sites in western europe. 10% at sites in japan. 9% at sites in mexico and south america. 8% at sites in eastern europe, including russia. 7% at asian countries outside of japan. and 5% in south africa and australia. from these experiences with g.a.p. and lilly and a lot of years trying to develop new medicines, i'd like to share the following observations about the global burden of disease and give you some thoughts about how i think the process of medicine development might be made a little better. first of all, in all the countries were g.a.p. and lilly worked, we found high degree of interest. it's not difficult if you go into any of these countries to find people who are concerned about alzheimer's disease. and who are eager to contribute in some way to try and develop a treatment. it's just a matter of trying to show them what it is they can do. i would say that in spite of their limited efficacy, the currently approved medicine for alzheimer's disease are pretty widely used globally. we were, of course

europe at least nine people and travel. how i was still got some rather blustery winds parting it's a north western parts of europe at the moment you can still see this i recount which has made its way across the british isles and across the like countries into germany that's the one that brought those really stormy conditions quite a few trees down power outages and some travel disruption as a result of that looking at a blustery day as we go on through friday but nowhere near as as windy as it has been over the past twenty four i was ill so temperatures will struggle to get about seven right celsius that for london and paris still space place the snow without some snow to its aced in areas now down to the southeast across the bases out of the med it will brighten up nicely the wet weather still be a little bit heavy recently now in the process of pulling away what it was there into positive rumania easing up into the ukraine for the north modify the top temperature in moscow still the snow over the alps in the covering that once again it's a matter what the making its way down across the good parts of france but it should be

europe where the populace did not win or perform as well as feared. where marcon -- macron won. this is a phenomenon though in the western world, this populism and it will not end soon. at -- it isnce virulent at the moment. notough the populace did win many of these elections, they overall have done pretty well in europe in the last year. i think this is something that europeans are going to have to continue to deal with and the last word on this with germany with the alternative for germany now in the parliament is another reminder that this is a problem that remains. peter: anna, what does the alternative for germany have to do with trumpism? anna: i agree with matthew. i think it is parallel development that we see with the same -- that came up for the same reason. directere is little influence -- peter: let me interrupt you. one thing you have written about is the zeitgeist. we are marking 50 years with 1968, 8 time of freedom and democracy and student protest. there are many in europe and in the u.s. saying it was decadent and dangerous because it led to left wing terrorist. that zeitgeist -- what is the connection

used a weapon being extremely well in russia -- western europe. i think it is a matter of speaking the truth. we don't have to be making this up. , i will quotecle something, washington needs to spell out clear consequences for interfering in the u.s. democratic process or tampering with u.s. infrastructure. given that, what should we be doing? machines,ms of voting what should we be doing vis-a-vis russia? in theould it look like terms of a retaliatory story of u.s. policy. ? >> we need to look at this more broadly. this gets to a broader strategy of strengthening our alliances, helping our partners in europe by investing in energy, security, reducing vulnerabilities at home. i think that is key. not just in terms of election infrastructure but in terms of financial transactions, money laundering, real estate deals, campaign finance. we need to make ourselves a harder target for russia. impose -- they need to be able to look back on what they are doing in five or 10 years and realize the cost outweighed the benefits because otherwise they will no

temperatures there drop dramatically a high pressure zone develops which channels dry icy air towards western europe and germany where it then also gets very cold. albeit dry and sunny as well. but even though the air mass above the snow is ice cold it's warmer below a deep blanket of snow insulates and prevents things underneath from freezing. plants can survive the winter because the water they need remains liquid. and people. a billion of us are dependent on melt water. so what if we suddenly had no more snow. in a world without snow northern temperatures would jump by five degrees celsius. weather patterns would change. warm humid air would flow from the atlantic to germany bringing miserable rainy weather. even though it's comparatively warmer the ground begins to freeze permafrost spreads. without its insulating snow cover the ground temperatures fall so low in winter the soil can never quite thought out in summer plants and animals die. forests disappear from large swathes of the northern hemisphere leaving only sure obes moss and lichen. further south melt water supplies fail wide expanses o

poisonous snakes and spiders are rarely if ever a real problem in western europe for example still is there some point in having such fears it grows to guns in general terms they can make sense if they're not too intense. but if they really mess up your life you should get treatment. but all in all they're a helpful guide through life if there is usually something to offer as exist have nothing for our life would be in constant danger. pretty goofy had to. share is more than an evolutionary relic it helps us remain alert it warns us and protects us. back to virtual reality in fagin's bug after an hour or so i don't mind the virtual spider anymore even when it crawls towards me. but i'm on high alert but i'm ok. i'm still feeling wired but i've gotten used to the situation so i've reached my first goal and i can head back to reality. it's really important to keep practicing even once the therapy is over you have to make a transition from virtual reality to reality and confront the real life situations as swiftly as you can and practice dealing with fear in a new and different way. for
