states of america so i'm not trying to talk about building a wall between the united states and mexico what he doesn't seem to realize is that there is an enormous a very profitable flow of guns into mexico from the u.s. that he probably wouldn't want to stop so you have the flow of guns into mexico and in return you have a flow of drugs and other illicit activities into the united states of america so what this is doing is it's because destabilizing those neighboring countries like mexico where it's giving criminal groups enormous power and fire power but at the same time attending a devastating impact in the united states itself how do you respond those who who would criticize that line and say you're mumbling two separate things the innocent and the licit trade in guns i've been i've been studying the trade in arms for seventeen years. the boundaries the borders between the legal and the it illegal are incredibly fast so our governments and the weapons makers the celt would have us believe that there is this formal legal trade in whatever. that only opposite side of the spectrum is

long united states is also fine with. the saudis sort of exercising military leverage and had data to push the who these two a political solution and not whether that will work is to be fully up in the air but it's undoubted there's going to be significant civilian penalties for that and cost to civilians so i don't think the united states redline iran had data has really held and i don't think the united states really has acted properly or really done all it could to stave off a humanitarian crisis they're saying go ahead. i don't think there is a united stated line around data because if there was then why the saudi that coalition has been attempted for the last three months to enter the data the united states is fully back in the coalition war effort in yemen it doesn't matter where they are the border or in aden is if they just want to keep helping the saudi to push. into her day in the other area the united states the united nation actually want to help be a many before talking about cease fire they have at least to

the united states has always had the will the problem that we have seen and the u.s. saudi relationship over the past eighteen to twenty months unless president trump makes a deliberate statement. statements by his subordinates namely who cabinet secretaries of defense and state have been ignored altogether and we have also seen that on the bureaucratic level the u.s. government has repeatedly call or and of hostility and resumption of peace talks. what what is different now is that the culmination of events whether it's a fair whether it is the broader instability in the middle east and now the washington post playing a central role in demanding justice for jamal khashoggi and tying it to broader u.s. saudi cooperation in the region is drawing tremendous scrutiny domestically here in the united states and it is leaving get ministration with little choice but to up. the pressure on riyadh and even though and i will add that the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia strategic including on on yemen so this is an extraordinary difficult balancing act th

nations and the united states but because of the u.s. efforts to try to broker a unilateral deal with north korea on denuclearization there is this sense now that north korea feels empowered to basically step up activities that have been deemed illegal by the and international community that includes expanding trade with both china and russia its two closest neighbors and as the u.s. has alleged for many years two of its most important protectors on the global stage the question is can the trumpet ministration now find a way to not only make north korea stop development of these military programs but also carry out the sorts of inspections that would verify that north korea is trying to make good on its promise to give up its nuclear weapons program. supremum court is hearing a challenge to the president's decision to call a snap election president. triggered a political crisis last month when he fired and replaced prime minister run a workroom a singer and often and reports from colombo. over a dozen petitions were herded sri lanka's su

states so that the united states has no choice but to keep business as usual with the saudi government despite the murder on him off much of it it shows that this obsession with iran has now reached a level in the us government on the trunk it's always existed but it's not reached a level that is beyond anything we've seen in the past and i think we've reached a point in which even folks in washington are starting to see that this obsession with iran has gone quite a bit too far and i think what you're also seeing is that this saudi american relationship which has been a bipartisan issue is not going to become much more of a partisan question in the sense that many of the democrats will make their opposition to the current sound of u.s. relationship it cornerstone of their foreign policy particularly from progressives this saudi american relationship as it stands right now and bodies almost everything that they disagree with when it comes to american foreign policy everything from turning a blind eye to human rights violations everything from basing so much on it on arms sales to the l

long united states is also fine with. the saudis sort of exercising military leverage and had data to push the who these two a political solution i'm not whether that will work is to be fully up in the air but it's undoubted there's going to be significant civilian penalties for that and cost to civilians so i don't think the united states redline iran had data has really held and i don't think the united states really has acted properly or really done all it could to stave off a humanitarian crisis they're saying go ahead. i don't think there is a united stated line around data because if there was then why the saudi that coalition has been attempted for the last three months to enter data the united states is fully back in the coalition war effort in yemen it doesn't matter where they are the border or in aden is if they just want to keep helping the saudi to bush. any other area of the united states the united nation actually want to help be a many before talking about cease fire they have at least to lift the blockade

money laundering drug trafficking and even murder here in the united states and his cartel prosecutors say was so active in the united states in various cities buying different companies is front businesses drug trafficking they were very active in all sorts of illegal activity in the united states so prosecutors over the course of this three month trial that's what they expected to be about three months they say they're going to open the books and shed light on everything that this cartel did allegedly not only in mexico but also here in the united states several of guzman's top deputies have already also been arrested and they're expected to testify against him as well and also shed light into this and it supported a note that experts say that his sin a little cartel is still intact very active and that this will only if he's convicted will only potentially put guzman behind bars but his two sons prosecutors say are still running the cartel back in mexico today all right deborah is on the thank you on hundreds of people have rallied in ukraine's capital demanding punishment for those

states and china are at an all time high but also it comes at a time when the united states needs china's role in its negotiation with north korea let's make to remy brazeau he's an economist at the french institute of international strategic affairs he's joining us live from paris thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera so the u.s. treasury secretary said that we have advised swift that it must disconnect any iranian financial institution that we designate as soon as technologically feasible to avoid sanctions exposure just for the benefit of our international viewers swift is the system that allows the world's banks to communicate with one another so how big a deal is this for iran what does isolating iran from swift actually mean. well it's very damaging to the arabian economy it prevents iranian banks from from. having transactions with for rain banks and to to. take part in any deal with abroad so that's that's a very serious issue many while there have been other signals. some buying start on not have not been designated. by us sanctions could still have some access to to switch sys

states and after that the united states and the president obama really put its foot down and put a lot of pressure on mexico to try and stop more of them from getting through that lead to lots of migration patrols and checkpoints on the buddha so i think that's the context really. the people heading through now is saying we don't really trust the mexican government to act in good faith in this it's too early to say from our point of view if they are acting in good faith all not in this case they just desperate not to have this huge mass of people getting to the u.s. buddha but a lot of the people i'd say the vast majority we are just choosing to sleep in the open air in plazas like this behind me they're going to sleep it's not robin stopping in the border and trying to get shelter in government shelters where they feel like they're not going to be able to get out of once they get into the u.s. so that's the sort of the situation on the ground here like al. something that i actually saw on your twitter feed which was a little news bulletin from shep smith who works for fox news and wha

and the united states asked saudi arabia to implement more reforms said it wasn't enough what they've done so far for example mexico said the need to be a moratorium on the death penalty in saudi arabia a death penalty by the way which is seen twice as many people executed in twenty fifteen as was executed in twenty thirteen months in a row spoke about the importance of addressing gender based violence and even man mark spoke about the importance of allowing religious freedom within the kingdom of saudi arabia it was a bruising encounter and it will go forward into a report that will be produced later this week and into a full human rights council next year to the u.s. now a civil rights groups fear that millions of americans are being denied their right to vote and the midterm elections they say states under republican control on fairly purging voter rolls affecting mine are taking the trend as a path and georgia where the white republican candidate is facing strong competition from a black democrat john hendren reports from atlanta. daniel nuno was puzzled by the government letter t

states that is a lot of people in the united states are gone don't want to be there with the street you know up there to small business they are just closer because they can come. in with big companies so that is not something good for the united states and less for mexico and i can tell you in mexico their corruption and their lead there is that in the end all of these business relations with the united states is not the people that are going to do something better for the country and it's the same in the united states then you're stuck about that big companies we are talking about millionaires we don't talk about this small business that is going to disappear or this month in the disappear because they can have competition with the big companies and that is where they were out of curiosity comes know now that i don't think that we. i agree. because she said that it's just business richard business man and not for the people the same action that president clinton took when withdraw the u.s. from t p p has truly was devastating because it's against all the values for the people and

but in the president's words china's taking advantage of the united states for many many years. in those days are over. as the president said and china has tremendous barriers they have tremendous tariffs and as we all know their country and gauges and quotas forced technology transfer intellectual property theft industrial subsidies on an unprecedented scale under thomas has more now from port moresby. the c in a pack stands for cooperation but there was less cooperation on display in the early speeches than the was regional competition particularly in the speeches a president g. of china and mike pence the vice president of the united states both those speeches were really a list of criticisms of the policies of the other country president g. was particularly focused on dole trumps tariff policies he said that trade wars only have losers and he called for terrorists to be wound down for his part mike pence used his speech to criticize china's loans across countries in the asia pacific region saying those loans come with strings attached pointedly he said that u.s. loans don't

yeah brought into the united states illegally as children but now have grown up in the united states and really don't call any other country home other than the united states but they've had a barrier in order to work go to school and university for example as a result under an obama era program put in place in two thousand and twelve it's the deferred action on childhood arrivals but most people call it daka here in the united states donald trump sought to end that program it has been challenged in the federal courts up to this point the latest ruling a setback for the trumpet ministration essentially saying that the white house cannot and that program so we now know that this is also headed to the supreme court the president talked about this as he left for marine one headed towards paris in the last couple of hours the plan is for this also to go to the supreme court and what the white house is hoping is like the travel ban although it receives push back in the lower federal courts that ultimately again it will prevail at the supreme court level the highest court in the land and t

states and the united kingdom which are far more critical i'll give you for example the question that the u.k. has submitted in advance and they have said this can given the recent violent death of journalist. can the government of saudi arabia elaborate on their claim that the laws of saudi arabia guarantee freedom of opinion and expression as i said that an hour ago it's elegant but there's no mistaking the steel behind the questions that saudi arabia is going to face some nations here on the whole what what then is the purpose of this review of saudi arabia's actions on human rights what's likely to come out of this specific session that when. well every nation of the united nations has to come before a huge p.r. universal periodic review working group in order to show how it's up holding the values of the united nations and this is the arabia's turn it happens every six years or so and every nation has to submit to it now the timing though is particularly important because of the murder of jamal has showed it really puts focus on saudi arabia and also i think the sea change the wa

the deal has the tacit deal has always been the united states pays the most and the united states makes most of the decisions and many of our trade deals are similar to that and trump trying to get what he thinks are more equal terms is actually spending america's influence and is weakening america's all right gentlemen we have run out of times we're going to have to leave it there thanks to all our guests carl white request clifton and rami hooty and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me and the whole team here bye for now. in twenty twenty tokyo will host the paralympic games but the nation has a troubled history caring for people with disabilities when used examines japan's disability shame on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working for others here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy

states and saudi arabia and what exactly is this relationship about and what exactly is the united states willing to do to control at least parts of that relationship glenn could this be an indication that these senate or the some political establishments of the united states of america would like to scrutinize relations with saudi arabia more than ever. i think that's part of it yes as karen said but i think the immediate reason for the rare pushback by some members of the senate to the white house in the last two years just now is the assassination and the fact that trump and pump a.o. and now even matters are sort of carrying the water for the crown prince to protect him but the three reasons that karen stated are important. i would only differ in one way and i am not convinced that the american public is paying much attention to yemen at all but i think that the congress members are starting to and there are two there's a rising feeling or that it's no longer acceptable for us to enable a. a war that is only causing problems for all concerned rather than resolving them he. assumed tha

but the cuban people are not alone today the united states of america stands with them the people of cuba are our neighbors and our friends and they are fellow children of god u.s. president donald trump has announced new sanctions on venezuela has warned of more measures against cuba in the qur'an what his administration has branded them a troika of tyranny measures include sanctions on venezuela's gold sector which the u.s. says has been used to finance criminal groups u.s. citizens aren't allowed to trade with people or networks involved in the sale or exports of gold national security advisor john bolton says new sanctions on more than two dozen entities owned or controlled by the cuban military and intelligence services will be announced soon and he's threatened action against the nicaraguan government of president daniel ortega which is accused of cracking down on protesters at eroding democratic institutions of newsweek deputy global editor robert valencia says that sanctions a time to coincide with the u.s. midterm elections. it is interesting that these sanctions come at a t

well that is contingent on it being ratified at least for the united states in the u.s. congress and that proves challenging for donald trump given the fact that democrats will in january control the house of representatives of the lower chamber of commerce congress now donald trump at that signing did shrugged off those concerns saying he doesn't think it'll be a problem this is a largely symbolic at the moment for donald trump because of the necessary ratification it should be easier to push through for canada and mexico and even canada not completely happy with the language the fact that the tariffs on steel and aluminum remain in place is something that they don't like in fact just giving a sense of how canada was not feeling entirely comfortable with all of this justin trudeau the canadian prime minister would not refer to it as the u.s. m.c.a. putting canada at the end of the new agreement instead he referred to it as the new nafta now for mexico this is significant it's a significant achievement for the president to this is last official day in office and we shoul

states that has been going on in the morning hours of the united states in washington this live shot here is where senators have been lining up to speak to the media we are hoping maybe we would hear from secretary of defense james madison was also in that briefing there hasn't been anyone have their position for a good four or five minutes now so i would just keep an eye on that we did see of course secretary state mike pompei are there not long ago what we're talking about here is a hearing it's a hearing of all the senate is they had the secretaries of defense and state speaking to them about the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia on two main issues one being the murder of jamal khashoggi and was this saudi arabia involved and if so how should the united states respond and also the issue of the war in yemen and the u.s. involvement there both of these issues on the table a number of senators have come forward to the microphones and as patty callahan our correspondent was telling us a little bit earlier one of the most important of them was the prominent republican senator bob cor

the united states we would likely have to continue the process of either catch and. get to the individual or have the individuals who appear to venturing. make their plane and wait for an asylum. and interview before an asylum officer an asylum or you said the u.s. has no obligation to accept people who shop at the border without a visa but what about people who show up and claim asylum say they were refugees they need protection surely the u.s. has an international legal obligation to look after them while that process is their applications and claims right. that's right the u.s. is a party to the next two hundred sixty seven protocol a status of refugees and has certain obligations with respect to the protection of refugees as well as a provision called non refel law where if a person is more likely than not but subject to harm in their home country the united states cannot and other other parties to the protocol cannot return that person to their country so there are those obligations question here though is does the person have to be either admitted in the u.s. o

and transportation to the southern border of the united states although it could still be several weeks before they reach that point but. mexico city. now more than half the votes have been counted in the french territory of new caledonia where people have cost their ballot independence the last referendum thirty years ago ended in violence the territory is a strategic military. and the south pacific. and round the french government says it wants the process to be peaceful and fair french president mannion mccaughan says the majority of new caledonian who voted have chosen to remain part of france even though the official results have yet to be announced this is. voters were allowed to make a sobering choice with full knowledge of the facts on the relationship between new caledonia and friends today the majority of them expressed themselves for new caledonia to remain french i have to tell you how proud i am that we have finally passed this historic step together andrew thomas has been watching the vote from sydney if as looks likely you caledonians have voted to remain french well that

the network stated mission is to prepare the united states of america for the coming of jesus christ its method the strategic use of mass communication a global ministry relying on t.v. internet and social media to spread good news. according to the network's c.e.o. c.b.s. flagship show the seven hundred club gets roughly five to six hundred thousand u.s. beers a day not exactly the more than three million viewers sean hannity gets every night on fox news but that content is then translated and transmitted around the globe getting a monthly reach of up to fifteen million c.b.s. is the most influential evangelical christian organization in the world without a doubt it's not so due to the size of their audience though it's due to the fact that all of the other leaders in place even joking christianity pay attention to what pat says and so it's a matter of not only influencing masses but it's influencing the influence servers and that's what c.b.s. does so well. terry heathy was the executive producer of the seven hundred club for much of the one nine hundred eighty s. the parties talki

united states is selling war why it also u.k. has a lot of interest to sell. to saudi arabia the only country that i can really see that come for more it breaks or it's turkey or germany globally speaking but milde even the jump on or china or even russia are interested in moving forward in both in that sense or in the us a little international community or international isolation i don't think that this will have to a madness in the short time in the short term for us that is there is no way a clear indication that mama been solomon was really behind. this case would be bidding the bid if you could to have somethin so matthew leach on abroad of the fact that obviously saudi arabia by its lots and lots of arms a lot of those weapons have been used in the war and yet in and there has been basically no accountability for that the final question goes to you what is going to be different this time is the world just going to move on. well i really hope not and i hope you all keep the story alive as well there is some change happening

trade dispute with china meanwhile leaders of the united states mexico and canada assignee a new trade agreement on the sidelines of the g. twenty meeting.

the united states has built with companies perhaps it may not be nation states that have that have joined the united states in its withdrawal from the iranian deal but it's the companies that are siding with the united states private enterprises we have more than one hundred companies who really make the buying decisions that have withdrawn from doing business with iran so i think the private sector is speaking much louder and more effectively than any governments will despite that we know that iran's largest trading partner is china and how critical is the chinese role here is iran looks to the east to forge new alliances in beijing isn't necessarily going to support u.s. sanctions. short we don't expect the chinese to support much of what anything the united states does now because of the escalating trade tensions of course but remember that these these oil purchasing exemptions that the exemptions to the sanctions that the united states is imposing november fifth will only be valid for six months and we during the six months any funds that are used to purchase. any oil from iran have t

trade dispute with china meanwhile leaders of the united states mexico and canada signing a new trade agreement on the sidelines of the g. twenty meeting the u.s. and c. a or us mexico canada agreement is set to replace nafta u.s. fries and donald trump as fresh as into negotiating a new path saying not that was unfair to the u.s. and bad for american workers live pictures from buenos aires d'esprit and kimberly hall credit who is covering this g. twenty summit for us so we're expecting this new deal committee to be signed any moment now of the g. twenty. yeah that's right this is a significant moment but we should point out it's largely symbolic right now when the three leaders from canada the united states and mexico signed what is known as the u.s. m.c.a. replacing nafta it still has to be ratified in the u.s. congress it'll be a pretty straightforward process when it comes to mexico and canada but it could be a challenge given the fact that there has been a midterm election in the united states and there is now a democratic house that will be controlled in january and there may be

states is much weaker than the united states forty years ago when iran's islamic revolution happened america's power is declining and this is the important point is that all these are live pictures from the capital tehran where thousands have taken to the streets in what is an annual rally to mark the thirty ninth anniversary of the u.s. embassy takeover there fifty two americans were held hostage for more than a year inside that embassy building by iranians who stormed the building shortly after the one thousand nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution. other u.s. sanctions on iran will come back into force on monday iranians are trying to remain positive. reports from the capital tehran. when you look past all the politics what becomes clear is that american sanctions hurt iranian people more than they change iranian government policies american policy some would say trump's brinkmanship has meant economic chaos for iran the value of the iranian ryall has suffered a major fall in the last year adding to high inflation and unemployment concerns all of this hurts low income and w

the united states and japan are. worth looking at that document which outlines you know what they call non market abuses reach china. just recently before the shanghai conference where president xi was to give. an important speech not sure there was much new there but in any case just before that conference. with no prodding from the usaid. the ambassadors the french and german ambassador to china french and german investors to china wrote a very tough piece. going after again. non market unfair non reciprocal trading practices there is broad based support for the american position here which is china. should change its practices and come into the community of responsible trading nations they can do that right their major economy and right now it's not like they were twenty five or thirty years ago we would welcome it the president has said he's happy to make a deal but they have to take certain actions and give certain assurances so you know. in the g twenty getting that support around your position from other count

the deal has the tacit deal has always been the united states pays the most and the united states makes most of the decisions and many of our trade deals are similar to that and trump trying to get what he thinks are more equal terms is actually spending america's influence and is weakening america's all right gentlemen we have run out of times we're going to have to leave it there thanks to all our guests carl white request clifton and rami hooty and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me and the whole team here bye for now. travel off to. my tranquil gotos and the forests they provide more. civility. in city. on sunday and say. is that so. since because. it is a club. it's the places you train. and literally. when you live for adventure. and discover it. when you. when it's. is much. closer to. going together with cattle i alway

the united states and turkey. the whole u.s. stance in the middle east depends upon getting this right. the president has a very important decision making power but he he was going to need to have the understanding and support of congress going forward and of the wider u.s. public even the u.s. business community has shown that it has serious doubts about the relationship with saudi arabia and what's happened so far during these past this past month has greatly undercut the willingness of u.s. business to make long term commitments in the kingdom of saudi arabia right so what do you make of the latest release from the state department who say there's not yet enough evidence to come to reach any conclusion is that this kind of buying time. i think that is buying time for the president to actually reach the decision i'm i'm pretty certain from discussions that i've had sheer with people in government or close to government that there's a general consensus involving the son for intelligence agency the state departmen

donald trump's comments have been widely condemned in the united states with former top officials accusing him of giving him a green light to commit murder republican congressman lindsey graham a staunch trump ally said there strong support in congress to impose serious sanctions against saudi arabia. afghanistan has declared a day of national mourning after at least fifty people were killed in a suicide attack in the capital kabul the explosion targeted a meeting of islamic scholars at a wedding venue. let's get more now top story. is the executive director of the arab center in washington d.c. and was a friend of jamal khashoggi he says trump has effectively ignored the intelligence community and pardoned the crown prince. i think it was somewhat of a strange event on the one hand this is the same president. only on sunday in a measure interview requests to the intelligence community to resubmit a new. assessment or reassessment of the events leading to the murder of yet today he preempts attempts to preempt that reassessment before he hears back from the intel community so he in a sense

in time once defense much more than just one particular item in taiwan in the united states are being discussing very intensely how taiwan can. beef up its own defense. is part of the reason for the heightened tensions between china and the united states the outcome of last weekend's elections could add to the friction adrian brown al-jazeera taipei. you're watching all of these all top stories saudi arabia's crown prince has arrived in argentina as capital for the g. twenty summit human rights watch has filed a legal complaint in argentina it wants them vests and to mohamed bin salmond's role in war crimes in yemen and. stories about who has the latest from. he's arriving here in the middle of some news that surprised everyone and that is that human rights watch has asked the argentine judiciary to investigate him. for war crimes torture and the killing a saudi journalist. right now a prosecutor is evaluating whether or not to begin an investigation whether the case of universal jurisdiction applies specifically to this case saudi arabia will be the focus of a u.s. senate briefing la

attitude or heard the same grace for the families and really the united states but you know this is a you know the president of the united states who is really using this you know to make sure that he rallies up his voters in this midterm election for whatever reason you know he's using these scare tactics to make sure that people come out and vote in favor of his politics which we know of course are inhumane i mean there are literally against what america stands for and so you know it is going to be a problem that we're going to be seen for some time and you know we're going to be watching but yeah i you know they they will you know there will be on our radar for quite some time this is you know this is a huge undertaking. talking about seventy five hundred people a hundred miles away from our borders there's a lot that's going to happen a weather update next here on out zero then. there's no question it gives the right thing to do walking out on google thousands of employees around the world protest of a sexual harassment and workplace inequality. and other satellites it is a good t

states and for all of the people of the united states do you think this is no a bigger problem for whitaker we don't know much about him but how do you think he's going to take on this role knowing that no he too has the president's backing . yeah did the six actually the point the independence and the integrity of the department of justice is on the line does the department of justice work for the united states and the people or is it a wholly owned subsidiary of trunk trump inc is it basically an administrator a department of justice and a law enforcement agency that does what the president wants to protect the president and to protect the president's whims or is it actually an independent law enforcement agency these are the questions that are going to be answered over the course of the next few days would occur has clearly indicated in the past that he is highly protective of the president's personal interests now that he's actually got the power of the attorney general the question is whether or not he's going to step up and act as a representative for all of the people and for justice

a lot of ways it doesn't really present a threat to the united states or to western europe is far as i can see it's basically. a massive threat in some of the countries well it's not a massive that is it's a minor threat it seems to me you know you can have you know small groups. still causes problems in somalia there are going to be people roaming around the middle east screaming that they're members of isis because it's what one does who are probably entry trouble but it's not it i don't think is even a major problem there overall. certainly far far worse than it was earlier when they control these and when they're able to actually do these massacres that you talked about i'm going to disagree with that a couple of them have to go to so the reason i disagree is a lot of the foreign fighters that have left iraq and syria have gone to places like libya they've gone to southeast asia they've gone to pakistan and afghanistan and so the idea that these are not actual threats to the governments i disagree having spent time in pakistan having traveled through these areas talking to people

has taken a position of trying to cut off and limit their ability to access united states for asylum and that just creates more problems in mexico and i think both the new incoming government and the trump new incoming government of mexico and the trumpet ministers you have got to sit down and work out some of these problems so that these people my gran's many of them or of desperate are the ones suffering the consequences eric olson great to talk to you thank you for taking the time with us today very well. just had a couple of comments coming through while we were talking to eric freed watching on facebook live it said that it said nobody seems to want them they can't stay home or they can't go anywhere and that is the central part of the story isn't it the fact that people are leaving desperate situations particularly in honduras and guatemala to try to get asylum in the united states and also has told us that it's the media that's causing the hype while we're trying not to show you certainly it out as they were trying to keep it as even and balanced as possible has been some grea

because they supplied along with the united states the arms that saudi arabia uses it is activities in yemen and about the places but i think this moment why this moment is that the leaders of the world are getting together they're talking about the end of the first world war the hundredth anniversary and he's going to put pressure on them to get what he wants because this is a time that if they don't do anything they look. on the world see so this is why it's big is our yeah and turkey says it's release the recordings to the u.s. saudi arabia germany france the u.k. all those countries you just named how much is this likely then to put yet more pressure on the international community and the u.s. of course to take stronger action against riyadh. i think it's going to put the extreme pressure i think lygon is clearly all along has played a very smart. what he wants to get out of this with turkey on the following night i think in the case of the united states he wants to get any sanctions lifted and he also wants america's support these are the saudi arabia. he also wants to get mone

seekers had their cases processed in mexico rather than coming into the united states he would see that as a big went particularly for his beast because he is very much against the idea of asylum seekers showing up at the border saying yes we want a cylon being brought into the united states then waiting for the case to go through the system and donald trump says in many cases they simply disappear into the wind and never phoned again he says that is the reason why there is so much illegal immigration in the united states so he really wants to remain in mexico a deal and he's also threatened in a series of tweets over the weekend that if that isn't put in place pretty soon then there is every possibility that he will close down the entire southern border that would be a big step and not something that many people would want to see here's another problem as well anything that donald trump tries to do on immigration could well end up in the courts we've already seen a district court judge in san francisco saying that the president can't make up an immigration policy on the hoof this is go

states for the united states including when it comes to big jobs and oil and can really sounds very much as the moment. the rules of submission exactly what went on in istanbul and who specifically ordered it is now being taken up by congress particularly the foreign relations committee how much pressure is that it's own the president because he does have to report within a hundred twenty days there's no question there's a lot of pressure it seems that while the president has tried with his statement on tuesday to say case closed matter closed this is a congress intent on keeping it very much open on a number of levels whether it's the triggering of the global magnitsky act through that letter sent to the white house on tuesday evening following the president's statement where you're right he does now have to report back specifically with a fine point on whether or not and what evidence it has or does not have that shows you was killed and that was an order coming from the crown prince we saw this triggered once before it was a letter sent by the u.s. senators twenty two of them in

very very early on that we've had a united states congressman we are anticipating united states senators to put out even more force or statements so the reaction has been quite one sided as far as i can tell i do not see any international organization or any other or statesman speaking in support of what russia did which should be clear was not actually in the strait but twenty three kilometers away from it so very clearly with g.p.s. responder's we can verify their e clearly this was an attack on a russian and ukrainian vessel in international waters let's talk then about the politics of this the internal ukrainian politics this idea of martial law the cynic the skeptic would say as well he was explaining that if there is martial little there are no elections they can be postponed what do you say to that. well that's this this term martial law it all relates to one term in the ukrainian constitution for you on the stand that can be interpreted by different very different ways martial law refers to what happens internally in the country obviously it is a state of war that needs to be dec

department did issue a statement stating that the united states government has not reached a full conclusion as to those who are responsible for this killing of jamal khashoggi i will say that i have no inside knowledge as to what will be included in this report i think those that do you know perhaps you know those sources need to be examined but i think that by tomorrow we'll see a report that is made by the cia briefing you know briefed to president trump and his advisors i think the president's response is going to be one that is very calculated but i don't think that it's correct to say that he has slow walked this this investigation or that he has slow walked his response i think the president knows exactly what is at stake here in the end of our long standing in our lives and even though isn't it the case that he just doesn't want this to be true policy reasons because it's well known that he has a very close relationship with mohamed bin sad man through his son and will. develop this. relationship with him and if this report does conclude that in fact n.b.s. was was behind it isn't it

states that's of been privy to those recordings but also the united kingdom france and germany three very significant allies of the saudis as well not least in terms of arms sales you're talking about the top two the united states and britain but also in earlier ones statements besides the ports and to note a couple of things aside from those recordings he spoke of the fact that the saudis who had initially through the were foreign minister not through some states media statement that could be misinterpreted through the foreign minister had claimed that the perpetrators of this murder had engaged with the local collaborator to dispose of the body now have denied that claim and have run a just the latest kind of u. turn that they've been making in so many different neuration since have been coming out of riyadh as they've tried to cover up and i think that one of the main statements that to take from these latest words from the turkish president's aside from the fact that he's pointed very clearly to those recordings is that he seems to have lost patience with the way in which things

states would abide by its commitments then maybe we could talk about other things well the united states has not abided by its commitments it walked out unilaterally but it's a shame really because what the u.s. has done is sort of fed not only iranian paranoia but iranian propaganda. we must beginning to define what it is that we demand. some of the twelve conditions the trumpet ministration has attached to the lifting of sanctions such as iran ending its ballistic missile program and not just missiles built to carry nuclear payloads are clearly deal breakers they are hardly the basis for productive negotiations washington says its goal is not regime change or to hurt ordinary iranians it just wants the regime to change its behavior but the administration's talking points it's stated attempts to get iran back to the negotiating table after abandoning a nuclear deal reached at that same table simply don't add up there are numerous false hoods that the trumpet mistress she was presenting in their narrative. one is that this will not her tea party nation that is as ridiculous and as a prep

so let me just go through the list underwriting lebanese hezbollah presents a threat to united states of america and to israel underwriting the who these in yemen causing an enormous conflict to take place there in that country the efforts in iraq to undermine the iraqi government funding shia militias that are not the best interest of the iraqi people their efforts and syria the list goes on the difference in behavior between those two countries is remarkable. that on some perhaps need some point checking the u.n. says there's no evidence iran has recently supplied the who feeds with weapons while the saudi led air campaign has been responsible for the majority of civilian deaths in yemen saudi arabia certainly has its own destabilizing role in the region just look at the blockade of counts and if you are criticizing iran for its human rights then sound is appalling record also needs to be scrutinized particularly in the light of the murder of jamal khashoggi in istanbul james al-jazeera washington . iran's president says it'll be business as usual for his country in a defiant addres

states agrees with turkey that this is not exactly a good situation that the united states and turkey find themselves because of the saudi crime in istanbul and yet they are not going to humiliate saudi arabia at least the united states is not going to anytime in the near future but turkey and the united states might work together along with the with the saudis to find transitional interim agreements among the three that eventually will pave the way for the ouster or been saddam and the other possibility is that the united states has told turkey thanks but no thanks and we will go it alone with saudi arabia and our ally israel because we have a primary enemy in the middle east which is iran now the one that struck me is that and they did say the relationship is with the saudi. kingdom so they haven't mentioned that it's with the crown prince is there is that the latitude where they consent say it some future date or at least behind the scenes between santorum and say what you have a little reshuffle and then we'll continue to be friends i mean there was a suggestion in a report which

department official anonymous going public here in the united states today in fact saying that there is no dispute about who is behind this killing so back contradicts the statement of the president the other important thing to note in all of this again that relationship that strategic relationship the president goes on to say why he believes that is so important terms of the financial economic impact in terms of jobs and revenue he talks about the fact. but he says that there was a four hundred fifty billion dollar investment by saudi arabia that will help create jobs one hundred ten billion in military equipment but we have a report out from the center for international policy that in fact says something quite different that the president's numbers have been grossly exaggerated that when it comes to the investment it's not one hundred ten billion but in fact more like fourteen point five billion and the hundreds of thousands of jobs the president's promising as a result of that investment it's really more like twenty thousand so there is going to be considerable dispute with the st
