he has a message for donald trump. this is his opinion, commentary and tonight's first person report. >> mr trump, as an american i am terrified at your rhetoric because having worked with refugee youth and followed the middle east in your work, i see little distinction between what i.s.i.s. is promoting in terms of discrimination and lack of pluralism and what you are promoting in my own country. land of the fry, home of the brave. i feel so disheartened now as a muslim in america. every time i turn on the tv, i'm being made to feel like i'm on trial, that i'm not good enough tore doing enough. every time you see something on the tv and it looks like a terrorist attack. the first thought is oh, my god, are they muslim. that is sad and speak to a greater problem in muslim communities that, yes, there are spaces of extremism, but at the same time, the majority of the 1 billion of us every day are fighting unseen battles for humanity, hope, resilience and piece. peace. it makes me emotional. when i look at my parents, wh

president donald trump has been acquitted and his 2nd and pitchman trial 7 repub.

and we want to take a listen to a little bit of donald trump's speech here it is. i will always fight for you. i will be watching i will be listening and i will tell you that the future of this country has never been better i wish the new administration great luck and great success. i think they'll have great success they have the foundation to do something really spectacular when it comes to him not going away completely allan can we just go back i guess 5 years now i remember you and i having a conversation you were someplace in the states i was here and the conversation was the republican party didn't have a problem if candidate trump didn't carry on as candidate trump but the republican party had a huge problem if candidate trump became president trump here we are now again 5 years on having a conversation about x. president trump but does the republican party trump's republican party still have that big problem. i think what it be fear to see is that the republican party. some of them don't like the idea of president trump but the a lot of his supporters they

trump's involvement at the direction of donald trump and frankly donald trump has come out since the plea deal and said yes he reimbursed michael cohen with personal funds why that matters is cohen and prosecutors and a federal judge all agreed this week that a crime had been committed and donald trump has now suggested he was part of that crime so the idea that he is today an unindicted coconspirator i think is a is an accurate description of the president and states you tweeted that trump is done. how do you mean i believe yes. i believe he is i think the validity of his presidency from here on out will always remain in question but i i actually think we may be seeing a bit of the unraveling of this presidency and what i mean by that is it will be hard for donald trump to escape culpability coming out of the cohen case at the same time under the moeller investigation this week we saw the man afford conviction which though not directly touching donald trump the actual conviction we know that manna for male timidly end up cooperating if he's offered the opportunity to do so by miller

through my notes that they were saying that donald trump essentially. sparked the crowd and sent them on their way in for 2 hours 3 hours afterwards didn't do anything to stop it and several times they invoke the name of mike pence he is a republican he was very loyal to donald trump essentially i think what they're trying to do is draw a line in saying look mike pence was very loyal to donald trump and look what happened to him he was quite happy essentially to throw him to the crowd and there are they know that there are senators who are sitting in judgment here who are also very loyal to donald trump obliquely saying why why why you bring more oil to don't trump because if it's a case between what he wants and you he's never going to be loyal to use so not quite as dramatic as we saw on wednesday but just continuing to build the case broader and deeper from those opening statements yesterday morning and what's your sense of how this is going to playing with republicans given that it would require 17 of them to to cross over to convict trampy any sens

trump donald trump has already arrived at the building. a short while ago he talked to journalists when he came in he talked about a few questions and took in a few press shows made a few remarks about venezuela about palestine and various things but everyone is waiting to hear what he has to stay. at the united nations security council meeting. hello and welcome i'm touchy my great to have your company as you mentioned u.s. president dollar trump is about to chair the u.n. security council in new york people have started gathering there waiting for him to come in and start his remarks and be of course go there live as soon as he starts speaking you're looking at pictures coming from the u.n. security council chamber sitting with me in the same. new deal is nicole rendered she's from the german council on foreign relations welcome to you was sitting here yesterday listening to donald trump's remarks at the united nations general assembly what are you expecting him to say today where you will repeat most of what he said yesterday so there w

but eventually though we remember that joe biden called on donald trump to go on now. on television and tell as supporters to stop whether it was that or whether was something else that led to donald trump changing his don't told slide the i don't know but eventually he said that the things that were happening in washington d.c. that was just way too much and so in that sense he agreed with joe biden still though the messages from mr biden mr trump were completely different. to storm the capitol to smash windows to occupy offices the floor of the united states senate rummaging through desks on the capitol of the house of representatives threatening the safety of duly elected officials it's not protest it's insurrection whirls watch. makes so many other americans we don't want anybody hurt it's a very tough period of time there's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us from me from you from our country this was a fraudulent election but we can't play into the hands of these people we have to have peace so go h

meanwhile anticipation grows over donald trump's speech at the u.n. general assembly on tuesday with some hoping the president will use its rebuild shattered international relations and the rights of its in south africa and i ranks among the world's highest with new cases opening old wounds we hear from some of the victims. part of depression actually trying to commit suicide this happened so many years ago. but i can get into you nothing would have been done. hello there are seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now to me putin's just held a phone conversation with israel's prime minister over russia's announcement of securing syrian airspace and protecting russia's craft there moscow's measures introduced at a briefing on monday do come a week after a russian military plane was downed over syria in incident moscow has blamed on israel. we're beginning to they're going to that's the quick sure that the implementation of these measures will cool some hot heads and will keep them from judge moves that could threaten our servicemen

president donald trump has wrapped up his official twelve day tour of asia and is on his way back to washington trump had a packed visit taking him to japan south korea china vietnam and the philippines the president said he had made progress with his agenda on trade and he also claimed to have made friends at the highest level in the region. donald probably have written the art of the deal but the art of diplomacy hasn't always come easy so this was going to be an ambitious two by any measure he was there to rally u.s. troops in iraq. confront pyongyang's provocations. north korea is a worldwide threat that requires worldwide action and do some deals. trouble to bed to shore up the pacific alliance began in japan where traits of subtlety and nuance were in short supply. not his host prime minister shinzo one that very much. the reception was always going to be frosty here in south korea trump has accused all of weakness in the face of the north. yet trump speech to parliament confounded his critics. if you want peace you must stand strong at all times the world. at a big banquet the

here in istanbul donald trump's move to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has been condemned. turkish president retch are tired ad one host of the summit. has islamic countries we will never give up on our demand of a sovereign and independent palestine. as its capital. jerusalem status is that the core of the decades long as really palestinian conflict israel sees the eastern half of the city in the one nine hundred sixty seven war it controlled the city's west before that palestinians hope east jerusalem will be the capital of their future state now the summit has backed by a stance donald trump pair on a visit to the city in may has been seen as siding with israelis and the conflict through his recognition of jerusalem as their capital. palestinian president mahmoud abbas has vowed to take the matter to the u.n. security council to try and block washington's decision. but israeli leaders believe they too have international backing. let him call a thought on all of these declarations do not impress us. in the end the truth will prevail and many countries will recognize drusi

senators to their willingness to acquit donald trump and i think that the g.o.p. was very afraid of having witnesses call and of course the democrats had the votes to do it so why did they back down that's a profound concern. i've heard a number of different possible explanations will probably learn more in the in the hours and and weeks to come but i think it's very possible that what happened was mitch mcconnell really did a number here he outmaneuvered democrats yet again and he said if you're going to call witnesses we're not going to get any business done for the next week while your witnesses are getting called while the trial is being. is taking place and we are not going to vote for a covert relief and we're not going to we're not going to confirm america orland we're not going to do anything else that you have on your agenda. and that he intimidated them into into pulling the demand for witnesses i think that would have been a profound mistake the whole point of course of being the majority party now is that in effect they call the shots but with the exis

donald trump spin quitted by the senate in his 2nd impeachment trial but his successor still thinks he's guilty. well the final vote did not lead to a conviction the substance of the charge is not in dispute $43.00 senators voted against impeachment with $57.00 for 10 short of the 2 thirds majority of the needed to convict trump of inciting last month's capital riot caleb maupin reports. well it takes 2 thirds of the u.s. senate you can dictate presidents in impeachment proceedings so now that donald trump has been acquitted they failed to get the votes necessary to convict him we've actually heard this statement from the former us president about the proceedings here's what he said it is a sad commentary in our times that one political party in america is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law defame law enforcement cheer mobs excuse rioters and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance and persecute blacklist cancel and suppress all people in viewpoints with whom or which they disagree is certainly been a colorful few days during the impeachment proceedings a lot of

now president donald trump might be fired saying a war, his position. but he's also still fighting this trade will. is this just another shot, do you think? well i thought so much related directly to the trade war. busy as it is about decoupling 2 of the world's biggest economies. so we've got $31.00 companies that are affected here in china. and some of these are the biggest companies in china. and many of these companies are stage r. . and that is to say that this really targets the chinese communist party itself. now we had donald trump stop the trade with china in 2018, we saw several chair of hikes, the really impacted the way that a lot of u.s. companies did business with china. many of them move their operations out of china and chinese manufacturers and turn also lessons in their reliance on the u.s. market. but that being said, the u.s. economy and the chinese economy still remain very tightly intertwined. you may not have american investors individually investing in chinese stocks, but you do have a lot of index funds and mutual funds with inv

donald trump's son donald trump jr was very critical of some members of the republican party for not being more public in supporting the president and this is where you have to remember these people are politicians they're looking at what's best for them in the longevity of their own political career is donald trump is not a politician so he goes there as we like to say he'll speak out when others won't but some of these more professional politicians are trying to think of their longevity beyond donald trump and i suspect that's why you're hearing some silence less support for the president at the same time there have been of some vocal supporters but this is a fragile time and many of the members of the republican party know it they're thinking about their long term jeopardy in the u.s. senate for example in the house of representatives where we should point out there have been already republican victories and this is a story that has been a little bit overshadowed not only did we see the republicans well they don't have a majority in the house picking up some seats they also it app

handshakes and warm feelings looks like a lot of smiles donald. i'm saying he's sure they're going to have a terrific relationship and as we just said it really is quite something to see those american flags on those north korean flags next to each other. down back at you in the studio here we just heard alexander a few moments ago saying that we know that donald trump has been saying that he didn't feel the need to prepare for this summit that he doesn't like to read a lot he doesn't like long briefings and their thinking serves them some analysts that this meeting was somewhat rushed into that it happened too quickly do you share that assessment well it happened very fast i mean it was on the roughly a month and president going to come to or meeting took place there was very little preparation and consultation big crew to north korea and the u.s. so they really rushed into it but at this stage there's also not nothing much to achieve for both sides have to get the basic paramita this right what they're going to do in the future and for no it's a

for 10 now to donald trump's impeachment trial in the u.s. senate is the president distinguished senators. you just heard from my colleagues about the harrowing events that happened here at the capitol on january 6th and saw that very disturbing video and now like to turn your attention to what was happening on the other end of pennsylvania avenue at the white house. and the truth is the facts are that on january 6th donald trump did not once condemned this attack he did not once condemn the attackers in fact on january 6th the only person he condemned this is on vice president mike pence who was hiding in this building with his family in fear for his life. in the 1st crucial hours of this violent attack he did nothing to stop it nothing to help us by all accounts from the people that were around him he was delighted. and here is the last thing donald trump said that day and you might remember the.

donald trump is a phony, a fraud. his promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. [ cheers and applause ] >> he is playing the members of the american public for suckers. he gets a free ride to the white house, and all we get is a lousily hat. his domestic policies would lead to recession. his foreign policies would make america and the world less safe. he has norther the temperament, nor the judgment to be president, and his personal qualities would mean that america would cease to be a shining city on a hill. i'm convinced america has greatness ahead, and this is a time for choosing. god bless us to choose a nominee who will make that vision a reality. thank you, and god bless you all. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> you have been listening to mitt romney. that is the former republican nominee for president talking about the current g.o.p. front runner. mitt romney began by saying i believe we face in all of my heart a time of choosing, saying we live in troubled tim

takes a closer look at the efforts to remove donald trump from office. so help me god so help me god congratulations mr craig. the crusade to impeach donald trump started the second he was sworn in the idea of my prediction of a donald trump and peach meant the prospect of impeachment this is time for impeachment and what's trump's latest move saying he doesn't plan on firing robert muller the person in charge of investigating the alleged trumped russia collusion. so much for the plans many were making to take to the streets and demand trump's impeachment if he did indeed fire muller democrats have also been trying to use allegations of sexual misconduct to get rid of trump but unless he decides to resign himself that's not an option because harassment isn't considered an impeachable offense even members of their own party have dismissed it i think we need to move on and not get distracted by those issues let's get on with the real issues that are facing peoples of this country right now. and i don't think that the president ought to resign at this point

well throughout his presidential campaign donald trump criticized the jay c.p.o. way the result of the p five plus one nuclear talks the nuclear conclusion and agreement with iran now he criticized that he called it a bad deal and he ultimately intended he said to rip it up from the white house now been in office well over a year and it looks like based on what we just heard from the white house that donald trump has fulfilled his campaign promise and he has withdrawn the united states from the nuclear deal he says he is imposing the highest level of sanctions on iran all of the nuclear related sanctions that were lifted when the deal was signed are now are now reimpose that this is donald trump speaking to the world about the nuclear deal. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating u.s. nuclear sanctions on the uranian regime. now it's important to note as donald trump was speaking he tried to make a case to essentially justify what he was doing
