President Donald Trump issued the first veto of his presidency on Friday during an Oval Office ceremony with mothers whose children were killed by illegal immigrants. The 'angel moms' were present in the Rose Garden when Trump declared that a national emergency existed on America's southern border; they returned to the Oval Office to see him formally reject an attempt by Congress to overturn it. 'Today I am vetoing this resolution,' he said. 'Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I'm very proud to veto it.' Trump has insisted that drugs and criminals coming into the United States would be radically inhibited by the presence of a border wall he he long promised to erect. 'As president, the protection of the nation is my highest duty,' he said, blasting Democrats for passing a 'dangerous' and 'reckless' resolution.

In scenes from Combat Obscura, the documentary film that was released in movie theaters on Friday, Marines are seen smoking out of make-shift bongs and passing around joints. Combat Obscura was filmed in Helmand Province between 2011 and 2012 by former lance corporal Mike Lagoze. He used government cameras to film the men as they behaved questionably after capturing shots that the government wanted to use as publicity. Now, the unflattering footage, which critics are calling 'the documentary 'the Corps does not want you to see, has been released as part of an effort by Lagoze to demystify what really happens in war zones. The Marine Corps has hit out at the film and the filmmaker but says it is powerless to stop its release or take action against any of the people involved because so much time has passed. It says it was never made aware of the criminal behavior shown in the film when it was happening and that the Marines involved put themselves as well as their comrades in danger with their 'selfish' behavior
