U.S. President Donald Trump announced his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday,

a conservative judge who has broad support from the Republican Party.

Judge Neil Gorsuch will have to be confirmed by the Senate, but Democrats have already

expressed reservations about him.

Meanwhile, opposition to President Trump's visa ban on seven mostly Muslim countries...

continues to grow.

Lee Unshin tells us more.

A Colorado native and conservative intellectual, Judge Neil Gorsuch is now also the youngest

nominee to the America's highest court since 1991.

President Donald Trump announced the 49-year-old federal appeals court judge on Tuesday as

his pick for a lifetime spot on the U.S. Supreme Court... to replace Justice Antonin Scalia,

who died almost one year ago.

"I will do all my powers permit, to be a faithful servant of the constitution and laws of this

great country."

Pundits say Gorsuch has strong support from Republicans as a Constitutional traditionalist.

If confirmed, he will be entrusted to shape rulings on a range of issues that have divided

the country, including gun control and religious freedom.

Meanwhile, across the U.S., objections continue to be raised against Trump's executive order

banning visas for seven mostly Muslim countries.

From entertainers at award ceremonies...

"Good Evening, fellow Sag-AFTRA members, and everyone at home, and everyone in airports

that belong in my America"

To top officials in the justice system.

"The executive order is harmful, discriminatory, and unconstitutional."

In Silicon Valley,... more than 2,000 protesters gathered at Google headquarters to voice their

disapproval of the new travel policy.

CEO Sundar Pichai, with his staff, raised 4 million US dollars to donate to refugee

causes, and said that 200 Google employees are affected by the travel ban.

And Starbucks announced a plan to hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years.

The financial sector has also questioned the policy.

"They need the high-skilled labor and often the talent pool in the U.S. isn't enough and

they need to go abroad.

I think that probably applies to market in general as well as just the tech sector."

It's been less than a week since Trump announced the travel ban,... but some experts say opposition

to the policy is likely to continue to grow, not only for humanitarian reasons but also

because it's seen to hurt business.

War With US Becoming A "Practical Reality" Chinese Military Warns - Duration: 4:35.

War With US Becoming A �Practical Reality� Chinese Military Warns.

(ZHE) In the harshest warning yet that China is actively contemplating a worst case scenario

for its diplomatic relations with the US, a senior Chinese military official said that

�a war within the president�s term� or �war breaking out tonight� are not

just slogans, they are becoming a practical reality.� The remarks, first reported by

the SCMP, were published on the People�s Liberation Army website in response to the

escalating rhetoric towards China from America�s new administration, and as Beijing braces

itself for a possible deterioration in Sino-US ties, with a particular emphasis on maritime

security. The commentary written by an official at the

national defence mobilisation department in the Central Military Commission � which

has overall authority of China�s armed forces � also called for a US rebalancing of its

strategy in Asia, military deployments in the East and South China Seas and the instillation

of a missile defence system in South Korea were hot spots getting closer to ignition.

The People�s Liberation Army, quoted by SCMP, said in a commentary on its official

website last Friday, the day of Trump�s inauguration, that the chances of war have

become �more real� amid a more complex security situation in Asia Pacific.

China�s sabre-rattling then peaked earlier last week, following an unconfirmed report

that China�s military moved long range ICBM closer to the north east border in Heilongjiang

province, within firing range of the US. As reported here, Chinese social media carried

pictures claiming to show the Dongfeng-41 advanced intercontinental ballistic missile

system near the Russian border. Provocative state-run tabloid The Global Times

suggested the People�s Liberation Army could have leaked the photos on social media as

a warning to Mr Trump. However, Chinese President Xi Jinping has also recently called for the

reduction of nuclear weapons.

The most recent deterioration in US-Sino diplomacy follow a statement by Trump spokesman Sean

Spicer who told a press conference on Monday that the US would prevent China from taking

over territory in international waters in the South China Sea. Spicer told the press

�the US is going to make sure that we protect our interests there,� when asked about US

President Donald Trump�s position on the South China Sea. �It�s a question of if

those islands are in fact in international waters and not part of China proper, then

yeah, we�re going to make sure that we defend international territories from being taken

over by one country,� he said. Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying

responded by telling the US �to be cautious in what it says and does, so as to avoid harming

the peace and stability in the region.� The Chinese military is constantly prepared

for possible military conflict whoever serves as US president, but Donald Trump�s possible

�extreme approach� against China was dangerous, according to analysts.

Ian Storey, a senior fellow at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore, said some of

the comments from Trump�s key advisors and appointees suggest that the US may pursue

a more hardline policy against Beijing in the South China Sea over the next four years.

�As it�s highly unlikely that China will compromise its sovereignty claims in the face

of US pressure, we can be sure that the dispute will increasingly become a risky point of

contention between Beijing and Washington,� he said.

The comments come as President Xi Jinping is overseeing massive reforms within China�s

military to improve its fighting capabilities. A huge reshuffle is also underway in the military�s

top brass. Vice-Admiral Shen Jinlong, commander of the South Sea Fleet, is to replace retiring

Admiral Wu Shengli as chief of the PLA Navy.

The Creeds and Confessions Force Us to Wrestle with the Whole Counsel of God - Duration: 2:37.

In the nineteenth century especially, there was this move away from the Puritan confessions.

We see it in Charles Finney in the Second Great Awakening.

We see it in the Stone-Campbell Movement.

In fact, it was Barton Stone that held a funeral service for the Westminster Standards at his

church.

And they put them in a box, and they went outside the church to the churchyard, and they dug

a hole, and they buried the Standards.

'Because we're past that now.'

But here's what happens: What the Standards force us to do, what the creeds force us to

do is wrestle with the whole counsel of God.

Who is Jesus?

My goodness, there's a lot of texts in here that talk about who Jesus is.

And what we need to do is we need to pull all those strands together, weave them into

a beautiful tapestry, and that is Jesus fully God and fully human, our substitutionary sacrifice.

The creeds remind us of the whole counsel of God.

Because you know what we like to do—we all do this, we are all guilty of this—we find

the texts in Scripture we like, and we camp out there.

And we become reductionists.

The Victorians did this in the nineteenth century.

The favorite image of the Victorians and the favorite text of the Victorians was 'suffer

the little children to come unto me.'

And so there are the images after images of Jesus from the nineteenth century surrounded

by little children—the loving Jesus, the kind Jesus, the meek Jesus.

And fortunately for the Victorian poets child rhymes with mild.

So the Jesus who loves the child is the Jesus who is oh so mild.

We reduce Jesus to the Jesus we want Him to be.

History of my Phones 📱 - Duration: 3:15.

Hey guys, Haim here.

And this is a history to my phones.

So my first phone was the HTC Explorer.

It was a very nice little phone.

And as you can see from this post from 2012, i was very excited to get it.

it had a 12 hundred mah battery a 3MP camera

512MB of internal storage and a 3.2 inch, 480 screen.

After a long while I got upgraded to my dad's Galaxy S3, when he got the S4.

That was a much bigger phone, in all aspects.

It had a 21 hundred mah battery an 8MP camera that can shoot 1080p video

a 4.8 inch 720p screen and my model has 16BG of internal storage

that can be expanded with an external sd card

Long after that, again, I got my dad's S4, when he got the S6.

Starting to see a trend here?

26 hundred mah battery, 16gb of storage, again expandable

a 5 inch 1080p screen and a 13MP 1080p camera

AFTER that, I got the Galaxy S7 Edge, considered by many the best phone of 2016.

And no, not my dad's, brand new.

A very, very nice, big phone Compared to the Explorer, this monster packs

a 36 hundred mah battery a 5.5 inch quad HD display

32 gigs of expandable storage and 12MP UHD camera.

India's Proposed Naval Fighter Jet Procurement Could Be Worth US$12 Billion - Duration: 4:49.

Welcome to warn, today news is.

India's Proposed Naval Fighter Jet Procurement Could Be Worth US$12 Billion

The Indian Navy�s January 17 RFI for the procurement of 57 naval fighters could be

worth US$12 billion for the selected foreign supplier.

India needs the fighter jets for its second aircraft carrier being locally built at the

Cochin shipyard.

The carrier along with the existing INS Vikramaditya which houses only MiG-29 K fighters are expected

to be the bulwark of the Indian Navy�s force projection.

The price of the contract has been estimated on the cost of each carrier borne jet at around

US$200 million each if it were a western fighter or under US$100 million if it were to be a

Russian jet.

The likely contenders for the contract can be Boeing�s F/A-18 Super Hornet, a naval

version of the Dassault Rafale, Russian Su-33 that were used in the recent Syrian operations

and another Russian-carrier based fighter, the MiG-29K Fulcrum fighter jet.

India operates a total of sixteen MiG-29Ks from the carrier INS Vikramaditya and the

navy is expected to take deliveries of all 45 MiG-29K fighters, which began in late 2009,

this year.

Saab has earlier offered its Sea Gripen, the naval version of Gripen NG to India.

The Sea Gripen is intended for both CATOBAR and STOBAR aircraft carriers.

Sea Gripen is the only aircraft that fits with the intended RFI�s terms for aircraft

which can operate in both CATOBAR and STOBAR take-off and landing systems.

The selection of the aircraft will depend on what launch system will be used aboard

the new carries currently under construction.

It is still not clear if the procurement will have a �make-in-India� component or it

will be a fully foreign import like the MiG-29K or the recently purchased Dassault Rafale

for the Indian Air Force.

The INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant, India�s first indigenously built aircraft carrier,

are both fitted with so-called ski-jump assisted Short Take-Off But Arrested Recovery (STOBAR)

launch systems for launching aircraft, whereas the second carrier of the new Vikrant-class,

the INS Vishal, will likely use a catapult assisted take-off but arrested recovery (CATOBAR)

aircraft launch system, incorporating the new electromagnetic aircraft launch system

(EMALS) technology.

In November 2016, Indian Navy revealed INS Vishal planned to be launched by 2030 and

not carry MiG-29Ks but a new generation of probably CATOBAR aircraft.

This will open up opportunities for competitors, in particular France and the United States,

to push their naval combat aircraft, or even other Russian aircraft.

According to the RFI, �the aircraft, single- or twin-seat (or available as both), should

be able to perform Short Take-off But Arrested Recovery (STOBAR) or Catapult Take-off But

Arrested Recovery (CATOBAR) operations or both�.

Russian Sukhoi Su-33 single-seat ship-based STOBAR fighter can easily take-off at max

load of 32000kg from 110m.

The aircraft was used in Syrian operations.

Only the Russian MiG-29K and Su-33 are STOBAR configured.

The French Naval Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier with active CATOBAR uses Rafale M

fighter jets.

Last April, the US agreed to share catapult technology with India on the new launching

and landing systems being installed on the latest US aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford.

India wants to move to a flat-deck design for its aircraft carriers, former US Defense

Secretary Ashton Carter had said that the US is "more than willing" to share its catapult

technology for launching fighter jets off carriers.

F-16 fighter jets to be deployed to Osan Air Base in response to N. Korea threat - Duration: 1:01.

Our top story this morning...

U.S. strategic military assets will be deployed to the Korean peninsula sometime this month

for the first time since the Trump administration took office.

The decision came following a request on Wednesday by Lee Sun-jin, the Chairman of South Korea's

Joint Chiefs of Staff,.. to his U.S. counterpart General Joseph Dunford.

The U.S. Pacific Command said twelve F-16 fighter jets and two-hundred U.S. military

personnel will be deployed at Osan Air Base,... located some 60 kilometers south of Seoul.

They will be working with the South Korean Air Force for six to nine months to monitor

possible North Korean provocations.

The announcement comes as U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis is set to arrive in Seoul on

Thursday.

Mattis will hold talks with his South Korean counterpart Han Min-koo on maintaining a strong

military defense posture against North Korea's military threats and the deployment of U.S.

strategic military assets to South Korea.

Trump's immigration crackdown could see deportation of some 300,000 Filipinos - Duration: 2:21.

More than 300,000 Filipinos illegally staying in the United States may face deportation,

special envoy to the U.S. Babe Romualdez said Tuesday.

"I received that information from our friends in Washington, D.C. that there's a list from

I think the homeland security that there are about 310,000 Filipinos up for deportation,"

Romualdez told CNN Philippines in an interview, referring to the US Department of Homeland

Security.

"These are mostly undocumented Filipinos that they are able to identify," he added.

The Philippines is not in U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order banning the entry

into America of citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

But as Trump follows through on his promise to secure U.S. borders, Romualdez warned,

Filipinos in the U.S. could be affected as authorities step up its sweep of illegal immigrants.

Romualdez, however, added he did not see the specific list of names of Filipinos facing

deportation, and does not have information as to how the names were gathered.

He also said thousands more Filipinos could be added to that list, and advises those who

don't have legal papers to consider leaving the US soon.

"I think they should really be prepared to go home," he said.

The Department of Foreign Affairs confirms — out of 3.4 million Filipinos in the U.S.,

around 310,000 are undocumented.

Romualdez says the number may include "Filipinos that [are] overstaying but may not be residing

in the U.S."

"They too are vulnerable to this policy of Trump," he added.

S. Korea, U.S. defense chiefs reaffirm THAAD deployment plan - Duration: 2:17.

We start off with a phone conversation between the South Korean and American defense ministers...

Han Min-koo and his new U.S. counterpart, James Mattis, once again reaffirmed their

will to deploy the THAAD missile defense system on the Korean peninsula,... while pledging

to stand strong against any North Korean provocations.

The talks came ahead of the U.S. defense chief's trip to Seoul on Thursday.

Connie Kim reports.

The defense chiefs of South Korea and the United States have reaffirmed their plan to

bring the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system to the Korean peninsula in

response to North Korea's missile threats.

Seoul's defense ministry said Defense Minister Han Min-koo and his U.S. counterpart, James

Mattis, held telephone talks on Tuesday, during which they expressed serious concern over

North Korea's escalating threat and acknowledged the need to strengthen cooperation on North

Korea policies.

Han and Mattis also said there's a possibility North Korea could launch a strategic or tactical

provocation as it could misjudge the transition of power in Seoul and Washington.

During the thirty-minute conversation, the two also agreed to uphold Washington's provision

of extended deterrence against North Korea's provocations... and to maintain a strong military

readiness posture to respond immediately in an emergency situation.

Pyongyang has been ratcheting up tensions in the weeks since Kim Jong-un announced in

his New Year's address that the regime is in the final stages of test-firing an intercontinental

ballistic missile.

Acknowledging the growing threat from the North, Mattis' first overseas trip as defense

secretary is to South Korea and Japan this week... to shore up relations with the two

U.S. allies.

In Seoul, he will be meeting with Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn and National

Security Office chief Kim Kwan-jin on the first day of his two-day visit, followed by

talks with South Korea's defense minister the next day to discuss North Korea's missile

programs and ways to boost the Seoul-Washington alliance.

"South Korea will be the first stop on Mattis' trip... and Seoul is hoping the visit will

allow the two allies to re-commit to their mutual defense treaty... and further solidify

their defenses against North Korea's threats.

Fighting for the Rights of People with Disabilities - Duration: 5:17.

I have benefited greatly from the US

disability laws and people with

disabilities in the rest of the world

deserve these protections too. Whether we

acknowledge our role as a world leader

in disability rights are not, other

countries still look to the US for

leadership on human rights issues.

U.S. laws enabled me to access my fundamental

rights especially in terms of having

access to quality education. I'm

advocating for similar laws to be

implemented everywhere.

Education is very important in my family.

My mother was the 13th child in a very poor

family from Eastern Samar in the

Philippines. Her father, the breadwinner,

died when she was barely a year old

putting the family in a dire financial

position. However, despite their poverty,

the family prioritize education because

they believed in its power to transform

lives. And so their family had a system:

one sibling would graduate from college

and then support the education of the

next sibling until all the siblings

graduated. Through this,

my mother was able to rise above her poverty,

become a registered nurse, and come to the

United States. My mother moving to the US

turned out to be critical for me. I was

a citizen of a country where disability

rights laws would allow me to gain the

access and accommodations I would need

to succeed in life. When I started in the

first grade in 1990, the Americans with

Disabilities Act was signed into law.

I didn't realize it at the time but the

ADA ensured that necessary accommodations

were made to allow me to fully

participate in school. The door knobs

were changed from the round ones to a

lever, a special slanted desk was built

for me so I could easily write with my

feet, and one of the restrooms was

modified for me to be able to use on my

own. When I was younger, I think I took

the rights the ADA gave me for granted, but

as I started traveling as an adult, I

realized that many people with

disabilities in other countries are not

given the same opportunities as

Americans. When I began working with

Handicap International, I was shocked to

learn that millions of children with

disabilities in developing countries are

denied education. Many factors contribute

to the exclusion of children with

disabilities including discrimination,

inaccessible school buildings, a lack of

accessible transportation, and a lack of

trained teachers and special education

resources. Exclusion from education

further perpetuates the vicious

cycle of disability and poverty.

In 2013,

H.I. invited me to travel with them

Ethiopia, a country where

ninety-seven percent of children with

disabilities did not go to school, to see

how they were working to enroll children

with disabilities in inclusive schools

with funding from the US government.

I learned that Ethiopian had signed the

Convention on the Rights of People with

Disabilities, an international treaty

based on the ADA in order to create laws

ensuring people with disabilities have

equal opportunities. Using the CRPD, H.I.

was helping Ethiopia to open up

education to children with disabilities

in six pilot schools. During my visit, I

got to see the extraordinary impact of

inclusive education on individual

children. The story of Hodan, a

seventeen-year-old girl who had multiple

disabilities stands out.

Up until age 16, Hodan had been kept

hidden at home by her parents who saw no

purpose in sending her to school. After

being persuaded by Handicap

International staff, her parents agreed

to send her to a nearby accessible

school supported by H.I. The change in

Hodan was remarkable. When I saw her in

the classroom she was beaming with

happiness as she practice writing and

reading passages out loud. Before I left,

she told me, "Tell the world to send their

children with disabilities to school." I

returned home from Ethiopia inspired by

what I saw and feeling that I needed to

actively advocate for disability rights,

something I've never done before. When I

learned through Handicap International

that the US Senate voted against

ratifying the CRPD when a hundred and

fifty other countries had I knew I'd found

my cause. To me it was unthinkable that

the U.S., the country that created the

ADA and actively promoted and funded

world wide efforts advancing disability

rights, would reject the CRPD. Along with

H.I. US staff, I visited nearly a dozen US

Senators and told them why I thought they

should support the treaty. Ratifying the

CRPD would change no US laws but it

would show the rest of the world that

the US stands with people with

disabilities.

I've been working on this campaign now

for several years and we still need to

get the CRPD to the floor of the Senate

so it can be voted on for a second time.

We need the President to resubmit to and

then get two-thirds of the Senate

commit to supporting the treaty in order

to be successful. I urge you to sign H.I.'s

petition if you haven't already and

please share it with your friends and

family members.

Links are down in the description. Let's

make sure that millions of people with

disabilities like Hodan all over the

world never hear the words, "You can't."

I still have another challenge for you.

I take my feet for granted just like you

take your hands for granted. This week I'd

like to see you try to fold a pair of

long pants using only your feet. Post

some proof down in the comments and I'll

share my favorites on my Facebook page.

I would love to hear your feedback,

questions, and episode ideas down below.

If you like this video, don't forget to

who could use a little motivation. After

all, if I can fly an airplane without arms

Trump slams China and Japan as currency manipulators - Duration: 2:24.

U.S. President Donald Trump continues to make his presence felt around the world in his

second week in the Oval Office.

Now, he's accused not only China... but Japan... of manipulating their currencies.

Kim Hyesung has the details.

Two weeks into his Presidency and Donald Trump is hitting his campaign issues one by one

-- this time it could be a currency war.

President Trump on Tuesday accused Japan and China of devaluing their currencies to gain

a trade advantage against the U.S.

"You look at what China's doing, you look at what Japan has done over the years.

They play the money market, they play the devaluation market and we sit there like a

bunch of dummies."

And just hours earlier, his trade advisor accused Germany of using a grossly undervalued

euro to "exploit" the U.S. and Germany's EU partners.

Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, however, flatly denied Trump's assertion,

saying the Bank of Japan's policy is in line with G7 and G20 agreements.

During the election campaign, Trump repeatedly criticized China as a currency manipulator,

saying that he would even impose a 45-percent tarriff on Chinese imports.

But according to U.S. Treasury standards, in order to use trade retaliatory measures

and label a country a currency manipulator , a country needs to have a trade surplus

with the U.S. of over 20 billion dollars, a current account surplus worth more than

3 percent of its GDP, and repeatedly depreciate its currency.

- "Currently, six countries including Japan,

Germany and Korea meet two of those three criteria.

China, one of them.

But those are standards set only by the U.S. -- they are not global standards.

If President Trump somehow labels trading partners like China and Korea as currency

manipulators... and imposes tariffs or other retaliatory measures, it would cause so much

inflation in the U.S. that it would hurt its economy."

While it remains unclear what Trump's next step could be, his comments sent the U.S.

dollar into a tailspin against the euro and the Japanese yen on Tuesday, and caused yet

more consternation among world leaders.
