The 'fake news media' is the opposition party, President Trump declared today, but across the United States some 350 newspapers from the New York Times to the Kentucky Times Tribune have launched an unprecedented joint campaign to counter the President's attacks on the media.
CNN's Jake Tapper looks back on the White House and President Trump's conflicting explanations on why he revoked former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance.

Turkey says its ready to enter talks with the United States regarding the ongoing trade and diplomatic disputes. The US insists that the steel tariffs are not related to Turkey's detention of Andrew Brunson, a US pastor that Ankara links to the 2016 failed coup attempt and are based on national security grounds. Turkey's foreign minister has said that it is prepared to negotiate with the US as equals, but will not be dictated to. The White House, however, has not changed its threatening rhetoric thus far. Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna reports from Washington, DC.
The jury in former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort’s trial has the case and will begin deliberations Thursday. Mueller’s prosecutors say Manafort is a lying criminal in their closing argument and that “the star witness” in the case is “the documents”.

Lawrence O'Donnell on Pres. Trump's tweet calling his African American ex-aide Omarosa a "dog" as she releases another damaging recording of the Trump campaign.

Rachel Maddow points out that six of the seven people James Comey told about his meetings with Donald Trump are gone or leaving the FBI, with the one who hasn't been made into a political punching bag, David Bowdich, firing Peter Strzok, contrary to FBI personnel office guidance.
Tensions are escalating between the U.S. and Iran after the Trump administration re-imposed economic sanctions against Iran last week. This news followed Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. Trump has threatened other countries seeking to trade with Iran, tweeting, “Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States.” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani condemned the sanctions as “psychological warfare,” saying last week he would not begin negotiations until the sanctions are withdrawn. We speak with Ambassador Seyed Hossein Mousavian, Middle East security and nuclear policy specialist at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He served as spokesperson for Iran in its nuclear negotiations with the European Union from 2003 to 2005.
US Vice President Mike Pence says the time has come to prepare for the next battlefield… and that battlefield is space. The Americans want to create a space force within two years… to defend US satellites and space-craft from attack.
It will be the first new branch of the military since 1947.
Pence’s boss Donald Trump wants Congress to vote yes to the plan…and agree additional funding of $8bn. But who will the US be competing against? And is it the start of a new space race?

Saddam Hussein geht ohne jeden Zweifel als einer der brutalsten Herrscher des 21. Jahrhunderts in die Geschichte ein. Seine Karriere beginnt 1979, als er den Präsidenten Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr stürzt und sich selbst zum neuen Staatsoberhaupt ernennt. Seine erste Amtshandlung besteht in der blutigen Säuberung der Ba'ath-Partei von Gegnern. Es folgen zahllose Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit, darunter die systematische Ermordung nordirakischer Kurden. "Die Wahrheit über Saddam Hussein" wirft einen umfassenden Blick auf das Leben des Diktators und zeigt, wie US-Truppen schließlich seine Festnahme gelingt.
Last year, Tehran sold $126m worth of Persian rugs to the American market, but the new US sanctions on Iran include the hand-woven carpets. But the beautiful rugs are more than just a commodity; they are recognised around the world as a form of art and are part of Iran's cultural identity. Weavers say the sanctions are not just an attempt to block an important revenue stream, but also an attack on Iranian culture. Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi reports from Karaj, Iran.
Watch Stephanie Ruhle review the week that Fox News host Laura Ingraham has had, full of commentary now drawing criticism. MSNBC Terror Analyst Malcolm Nance and Washington Post Opinion writer Jonathan Capehart join the conversation to discuss the effects of Ingraham’s racist remarks, the NFL protests, and Omarosa’s tapes from the White House.

Immigration activists in the US are accusing the president of being a hypocrite. Donald Trump has been critical of the legal practice that gives relatives of citizens preference for moving to the US. Now his wife's parents have been granted citizenship, seemingly as a result of the same immigration policy. Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reports.
Melania Trump spent her first few weeks in the United States working illegally. Her parents were just sworn in as citizens through chain migration. These are both items that Trump has said have to go, and under the new proposed rules for immigrants that become citizens, Melania would technically be up for having her citizenship revoked. The rules, however, aren’t meant to target people that look like Trump, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.
The Treasury Department has decided that banks don’t actually provide “financial services” as part of their business. While this is obviously laughable, that simple reclassification allows big banks to qualify for even more tax breaks under the Republican tax scam package that went into effect this year. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains how the new scam works.
Earlier this week the United States re-imposed a wide range of sanctions on Iran following the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear agreement. Washington called on other powers to join it but also issued a threat, telling governments to choose: do business with US or Iran, not both.
The response has been a nearly universal "no". Some of Washington's closest allies have even promised legislation to protect their own companies against possible American reprisals.
We have been here before. In 1996 the Helms-Burton Act sought to force the rest of the world to adhere to Washington's long-standing boycott of Cuba. A 1977 law penalised US companies honouring the Arab boycott of Israel; and as recently as 2014, shortly before the nuclear deal was completed, France's largest bank, BNP Paribas, agreed to pay the US Justice Department an eight-point-nine billion dollar fine for violating US sanctions related to Iran.
Can extra-territorial sanctions really work? If they don't - as seems likely - what will that mean for America's broader role in the world?

The US State Department has urged Canada and Saudi Arabia to resolve their escalating feud. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has expelled the Canadian ambassador, suspended flights to the country and terminated student exchange programs.

Washington Post foreign affairs writer Ishaan Tharoor joins CBSN to break down the diplomatic spat.
Autos mit deutschen Kennzeichen werden abgedrängt und weggeblinkt, und wenn die deutsche Fussballmannschaft verliert, jubeln die Schweizer. Die deutschen Zuwanderer sind fleissig und gut ausgebildet, sie sind die Stützen des Schweizer Gesundheitssystems und trotzdem mag man sie nicht besonders. Mit der Zeit verstehen die Deutschen schweizerdeutsch, wenn sie es aber zu sprechen versuchen, ist es auch wieder nicht recht. Sie treten in tausend Fettnäpfchen, weil die Schweiz wider Erwarten ganz anders ist als Deutschland. Viele bleiben trotzdem hier, wegen der guten Arbeitsbedingungen und der hohen Lebensqualität, und in der zweiten Generation sind sie von Schweizern kaum mehr zu unterscheiden.
Was macht eigentlich das Verhältnis zwischen Deutschen und Schweizern so schwierig? Deutsche Zuwanderer reden über ihre Integration in der Schweiz.
