have to have changes in congress and we have to have it quickly we need a wall number one and you see that right now you know where they are even though it's not a particularly good will it even though a small percentage can climb to the top they have to be the extremely good shape but a small percentage can climb that particular wall we have a wall that's much more difficult but if you didn't have that you'd have thousands of people just pouring into our country you've got to have a wall. annular apollo's on the mexican side of the border in taiwan a so we know this is a group of about one hundred fifty to two hundred immigrants making a very difficult journey from central america across mexico now to the u.s. border they finally reached tell us what's happened to them now. margaret activists told us that around fifty individuals were allowed by mexican officials to cross over to the u.s. border inspection facility yesterday but were unable to be processed by border officials another one hundred fifty of those those are the ones that you see behind me have been saying here for wh

species citizens unable to vote on represented in washington members of congress do nothing about whether to buy a slate part of a constituency in their responsibility and that is what's underneath this crisis phone lines visit to the island devastated by hurricane maria and demanding the support of the u.s. government are we there yet but it isn't in the film it has a responsibility everybody does it ever get closer shelter after the storm on al-jazeera. america's new secretary of state by players dogs his middle east war with iran's nuclear deal high on the agenda. console robin you're watching all of their lives one headquarters here in also coming up a so-called million man march in yemen following a saudi led strike that killed two rebel leaders. also a roaster without a host the u.s. a president donald trump abandons the white house correspondents dinner for the second year. of the korean summit was presented on opposite sides of the border. well with the program newly appointed u.s. secretary of state mike has arrived in saudi arabia as part of a three day trip to the regio

compare to his predecessor. well my pump aoe is known as a hawk on iran when he was in congress he talked about looking forward to rolling back the j.c. the international agreement signed by six countries and iran to denuclearize the country so this in this way he is much closer to president trump than his predecessor rex tillerson was of course we know that one of the main issues that led to rex tillerson departure from the administration was his sympathy for the european point of view on the agreement which was to strengthen it as opposed to blowing it up entirely not that tillerson was a huge fan of the deal but after negotiating and talking with the european allies this was the view that he came to espouse and one that president trump did not share but now this may twelfth deadline is fast approaching when the president has to decide whether or not to reimpose sanctions on iran and he's continuing to get a lot of pressure from european allies to stay in the deal or at least do something in such a way that it doesn't completely destroy the progress that has been made so far and leader

country and mike palm pale when he was in congress was known as an iran hawk he's talked about wanting to roll back the deal and. take on the iranian administration more head on so we know that this is where he's coming from whereas rex tillerson had a more european view about the deal he was no big fan of the agreement but he was more sympathetic to europeans who were worried about blowing up the deal and the implications that would have he was looking for ways like they have been to strengthen the deal as opposed to. get the united states a pull out of it all together so we know that this may twelfth deadline is fast approaching when president trump has to decide whether or not to impose u.s. sanctions on iran and there's no doubt that this is one of the issues that tom pale will want to talk about with the saudi leadership right and how important is it then that he is meeting the saudis and the israelis on his first official trip to the region as secretary of state yeah it was announced just hours after he was sworn in that he would be making this trip course he did go to a

border issues with xi jinping the leader of the opposition congress party roll gandhi took to twitter to remind him of that let's bring in happy man jacob in new delhi joins us via skype he is an associate professor of diplomacy and disarmament studies at georgia narrow university thanks very much for being with us so help us understand then from india's perspective what is the state here in its dealings with china. you know a close second i think that we need to understand the summit for what it is this is this is this was a summit without that the need to find i didn't know this was more of our. back to the negotiating table or rather that important or shifting it said so i thought india's consent mr maule these going into elections. they've let this you know added extra support for him it is very important to stipulate the border to stipulate that relations with china and to tell the domestic public that listen i have mine is to bring the message of bikes were on fire and this is not really going haywire support for me some what he's going to do this was a very important summit don

after being taken to task by congress for ordering a thirty one thousand dollars dining set for his office he says the changes will simplify rent calculations and help control costs by raising the family monthly rent contribution from thirty percent of income to thirty five percent of income before tax the cap for the poorest families would rise from fifty dollars a month to about one hundred fifty three times higher according to hud that will affect around seven hundred twelve thousand households the changes will impact tenants not only in public housing complexes like this one but also those who receive subsidies for privately owned apartments the trump administration says their goal is to give people an incentive to get higher paying jobs but housing advocates say it's the higher paying jobs that are lacking not the incentive to work. our public housing residents here in new york city the majority of households have a working member this is not the problem the problem is that with work or static wages and that's why low income families can continue to afford to keep up with priva

a bit controversial to some people in congress he's made controversial comments about muslims he's also supported he also was a supporter of torture when he was a congressman. and as a congressman he says he was very very critical of the iran nuclear deal although during his confirmation hearings he said that he would do everything he could to keep the u.s. in that deal and and that remains to be seen because the u.s. has to make a decision whether it's going to stay in that deal within the next few weeks the other thing that he has to work on is morale at the state department it was decimated under rex tillerson tillerson came in and made significant cuts to staff morale was very low there and so he'll need to go in and build that back up again and it seems like he does have the confidence of many of the people that work at the state department so. from washington an esoteric thank you with german chancellor angela merkel will visit the white house on friday and as it says set to issue the saying please have french counterpart the president to stay in the iran nuclear deal but the

congress i had a high privilege and the distinct honor of presenting to you these excellent c. emil mccrone the president of the french republic. the miracle of the relationship between the united states and friends in sats we have never lost it's a special bond deeply rooted not only you know history but also you know flesh personally. if you ask me i do not share the fascination for new strong policies the abandonment of freedom and the illusion of nationalism. today the international community needs to step up all game and build the twenty first century world order basins of perignon principles we step in this together after world war two the united states. is the one who in fantasies. and you are the one now. who has to to preserve and bring fountains. also coming up a warning not to wear jewish kippers on the streets in berlin that was yesterday today a rally against hate in berlin and guess what they wore. it's absolutely important to be proud of who we are but hearty ourselves that is not the solution to anti-semitism that has never been the solution that only strengthens the

mccraw may address on wednesday before a joint session of the u.s. congress can really help that al-jazeera at the white house well the u.s. president on the trunk did warn tehran of bigger problems if it restarts its nuclear program the iranian foreign minister said his country may abandon the deal if the u.s. pulls out we've said that the united states has not lived up to its to its side of the bargain that is to its commitments to lift certain sanctions not to impede. economic relations between iran and its economic partners it has done all of that it has prevented. basically dissuade threatened companies from engaging with iran so the economic benefits of the of the nuclear have not been at the level that had been promised. and the opposition in armenia is holding another protest rally after the cancellation of planned talks with the governing party it wants a transitional government and new elections after the prime minister. resigned robin for a walk or reports now from the capital you're about. armenians were back on the streets of the capital. this time to commemorate the ar

could do that as soon as next month what he has to recertify it for the u.s. congress what do you have as a bigger option i don't see it. what is a one hundred. or your plan b. i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against against iran so that's a question we will discuss but that's why i just want to see on nuclear let's preserve this framework because it's better than a sort of north korean type of situation so again i'm not satisfied with the situation with iran i want to fight against the listing. i want to contain their influence in the region so my point is to see don't leave now as a g.c. pewee as long as you have not a bitter regime for nuclear and let's complete it with benefit me sign an original containment war on president backroads visit to the white house now from our correspondent kimberly helpers. no european leader enjoys a better bond with u.s. president donald trump than french president emmanuelle. mccraw has carefully culture their relationship inviting trump to paris for bastille day celebrations playing to transend well known admiration for the military the result

to recertify it for the u.s. congress what do you have a better option i don't see it. what is the what if scenario or your plan b. i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against iran so that's a question we will discuss but that's why i just want to see on nuclear let's preserve this framework because it's better than a sort of north korean type of situation seven i'm not satisfied with the situation with iran i want to fight against the listing. i want to contain their influence in the region so my point is to see don't leave now as a g.c. purely as long as you have not a bit of option for nuclear and let's complete it with ballastic myside and original containment alan fisher has more on this now from washington. well donald trump and president mccrone do have a special kind of chemistry he gets on better with him than perhaps any other european leader but that me not be enough to stop america walking away from the iran deal donald trump has been against the deal for a very long time those critics will say it's reflexive because it's iran and also that he's never actually read the

congress and a white house that have taken no significant steps regarding gun control. was there a message couldn't be clearer i had. just a handful of the tens of thousands of students to have donned their books to demand tougher gun controls from new york. to michigan and even the white house they made their point basically we just want to see some type of preventative measures taken you know the changes been powered was more we can feel. more secure security measures we feel that the onus should not be on the small to take security measures to prevent their students from being killed in gunfire there should be some type of preventive measure taken some time to change it was not all chanting thirteen seconds of silence were held to remember the thirteen victims of the columbine school massacre they were killed nineteen years ago to the day when two students opened fire on their classmates their slaughter entered school shootings into the global consciousness two decades gone and thousands of deaths later many of america's students have seen enough. at our school art teacher was s

protected by the crowds below. this friday the congress moved three hundred meters closer to israel their mission is that when these protests climate's on may the fifteenth these tents will be the border between gaza and israel but after four weeks no demonstrations there's been nothing in the way of concessions from the israelis that would improve the daily life of palestinians living in gaza . with al-jazeera cars. as fast a fence says hamas is wasting its time trying to gain the upper hand in the conflicts. we have all the support from the army from the chief of staff and everybody that something the other side must understand there is determined and trained behind which are determined people support the army and he had to their residents of communities adjacent to gaza who are determined and ready to give all their brick to the army this combination can't be beaten and it is a waste of time a waste of their if it i expect gaza residents to take their destiny into their own hands and not be led by hamas who are misleading them the us has again warm syria's president about the use

the castro era will take another three years from. when the a party congress and the gradual and orderly transfer of our main responsibilities is made to the new generations it is then if my health allows that i will become just one more soldier along with the cuban people defending this revolution. on the streets there was no commotion and little excitement. i magine there won't be any drastic change anytime soon but something will change for better or worse. there i'm not watching this i hope there is a change for the better that's what we're all hoping for. with an israel and subsidies almost gone. to transform cuba's ailing soviet style economy itself or why we're. the world loses. knows the mechanics of the system. but is taking over added difficult time of renewed tensions with washington under president donald trump and while the u.s. can and does represent a generational shift here in terms of the crucial relationship with cuba's powerful northern neighbor it's back to the old cold war days you see in human al-jazeera how that. now followers of students have marched in th

communist party congress and that isn't going to happen for another three years. well to iraq now where the government has launched strikes against eisel targets in syria prime minister office says iraqi fighter jets carried out a deadly raid against i still in a border area syrian and iraqi forces have driven eisel from nearly all of its previous territory iraq has stepped up its campaign to clear the remaining i still held areas this week meanwhile hundreds of rebels who are holed up in an area near syria's capital have agreed to lay down their arms in an evacuation deal negotiated by russia members of a rebel group known as the army of islam have already started leaving to manor but to the north opposition fighters and are still holding out despite government as strikes saying harder reports from lebanon. they surrendered without a fight rebels into mayor have agreed to leave accepting an offer from the syrian and russian militaries for safe passage to rebel areas in northern syria hundreds of fighters are to be evacuated along with a few thousand of their family members they d

almost one in the same because they get their guidelines from the party and the party congress have made it clear that they do not want to go into the direction of vietnam or china for example that they have to strengthen on the contrary the state sector which they believe. the country's so it's going to be a major major foreign in the new government side to figure out how they're going to engineer that how rather than moving away from a totally centralized communist system how to make it work without doing that and that is really the big question but it doesn't seem like there's been any announcement or any sign so far that they plan to move in the direction as i say of these other communist countries in the world the asian ones who have had success more much more success in their economic policies major international announcements in terms of foreign policy especially when it comes to the u.s. but you've been covering cuba for many years lucy i mean what's your take on the certain mood in cuba in the political atmosphere that you have at the moment about the way they want to deal with

that gives his allies in congress something to work with as he faces confirmation possibly next week. inspectors with the international chemical weapons watchdog have still not entered the site of a suspected gas attack in syria more than a week ago they arrived in the capital damascus on saturday western nations accuse russia delaying the inspectors entry into duma and say they suspect the site has been tampered with moscow says there are conspiracy concerns two days ago journalists were schooled that into duma by the russian military without incident wasn't a joins me live now from the lebanese capital beirut same as still some confusion as to whether or not the inspectors will be allowed in to do most of what's been happening. well yes it's not clear if and when those chemical weapons inspectors will visit united nations official has confirmed. that a u.n. security team that visited on shoes they came under fire so there was gunfire when that team was inside on tuesday it's not clear whether or not this incident is going to affect the. work or this decision whether it will enter d

. congress to address the issue of racial profiling and law enforcement that is that oftentimes and much too often our country people are poured over or otherwise detained by police because of the presumption that some crime has been committed or in some cases a crime is going to be committed simply because of the race of the person this poured over the end racial profiling the act is a bill this been pinned in to help actually we train our law enforcement officials and how to carry out their responsibilities without this level of implicit bias as a matter of fact even our f.b.i. utilizes anti racial profiling tactics they were handed down by their executives at the time they were first passed as a matter of fact it was john ashcroft we also give great credit to eric holder one of our former attorney generals under the obama administration for actually improving our anti racial profiling policies to make sure one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in our country the f.b.i. doesn't practice it along with all the federal law enforcement officials police encounter responsibilities th

face common sense and consistency is what the justification to let congress and the public know ten days before the election and not let them know about the rest of the times and what does this tell us about washington politics too i mean we've got the former head of the saying i was thinking about the political ramifications when i made that decision about the e-mail investigation but if i had to do over again i would do the very same thing you know if you read the excerpts of the book that have been released thus far the picture that comes out is is a little troublesome in the sense that it indicates that he expected hillary clinton to win and what he was trying to do to preserve the integrity of the institution the f.b.i. is distance himself from that by saying we didn't hand maiden that victory but that's a political decision in itself is it hard before we run out of time michael cohen the personal attorney to the president are you his mercy mystery third client we know now is the fox news host a show on hannity right fox news so far as not commented on this why is this a big de

this is is another failure of this president to rein in what the u.s. congress the house overwhelmingly said is russian aggression not to get just against the united states but ally of japan but the japanese don't exactly feeling that they. no in fact the two have been sitting down at mar a lago and just the last few moments in the body language seems to tell it all a bit of awkward conversation awkward sort of body language between the two men despite sort of the official line which is that this is a very strong friendship that exists between the two men in truth they have met at least six times that's more than any other foreign leader has met with donald trump even before he was sworn in as president but at the same time there's some tension there because of some pretty big issues this meeting between the two will since it come down to trade as well as security but i'm told fred certainly the u.s. has been rather harsh in japan the so-called friend in recent weeks you have to remember that japan was certainly very strong in terms of its cautioning of any sort of formal

was a hearing this last week where mark zuckerberg away you know directly to u.s. congress and to answer some questions do you think that there whether it's indonesia or any other countries do you think that they had that type of leverage as well to try to get some answers at facebook to figure out how to go forward. certainly the hearing in the u.s. congress was a really big deal i don't know if indonesia is going to match that but indonesia is the third largest country in terms of social media users or facebook users so there's quite a lot of leverage there i think that some of the threats by the indonesian government in indonesia minister to shut down facebook are probably empty threats indonesia's not ready to go the way of china. but but certainly they do have leverage and that was that was seen by the seriousness with which facebook was addressing the questions today all right matthew thank you so much appreciate it relatives their crew members on a missing argentine submarine are demanding answers from the government the vessel disappeared in november with forty four crew m

in the interview he defended his choice to tell congress that he was reopen that the f.b.i. was reopening an investigation into clinton by saying that you really have to see it through the lens of the time she was widely believed that she would be the incoming next president of the u.s. and he felt that he really had to be seen as not playing favorites and to cover himself by reopening this investigation but of course she and her campaign see it quite differently claire just very briefly before we go one of tom's lawyers has been in court today also porn star that he allegedly had an affair with what has been going on in the front. that's right trump's longtime personal lawyer michael cohen has been in court trying it to get the court to let him and his legal team look at these documents that were seized during a very high profile raid of his offices last week they say that they want to see whether they are protected under attorney client privilege between the lawyer and donald trump and the federal prosecution has been saying that that would be special treatment would not be ap

information jail why did he lie to congress jail in another message trump tweets komi will go down as the worst f.b.i. director in history by for trump adding with an exclamation mark. for good measure you know more freedom is the me komi was fired by trump in may saying it was for his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation but trump later said in an interview it was because of the russian investigators in the firing prompted a series of events that led to the justice department to appoint robert mueller as special counsel overseeing the russian vesta geisha and that has expanded to look into whether trump obstructed justice by firing komi home he says trump privately asked him for a loyalty pledge trump denies this this isn't the first book to rattle the white house in january fire in fury sold more than a million copies in four days written by journalist michael wolff the book revealed salacious details that painted a picture of a white house in chaos khomeini's book however poses even more of a threat to the white house given it was written by the former director of the h

congress to sen g. then based his decisions on what the president went on to say komi under others committed many crimes trumps tweet comes just hours after comi in a t.v. interview accuse the president of being morally unfit for the white house gave it a zonda has more from washington d.c. . in a remarkable rebuke former f.b.i. director james comey is saying u.s. president donald trump is not fit to be commander in chief he is donald trump unfit to be president. yes but not in the way i often hear people talk about it i don't buy the stuff about him being mentally incompetent to early stages of dementia strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and those what's going on i don't think he's medically unfit to be president i think is morally unfit to be president the exclusive interview with a.b.c. news george stephanopoulos was part of the rollout of coleman's new book titled a higher loyalty truth lies and leadership in the interview komi says trump lies as obstructed justice and like it seem to an insecure mob boss and he also says russia mi

compare it to walt komi said earlier on when he gave testimony to the congress that does seem to be a change in tone right. it is and as i mentioned before i mean komi was really criticizing trump personally as well personally about like i said the way he dresses the way he combs his hair even insinuating that he he himself and uses glasses when he tends him self and this is led to a lot of trump's supporters to say that this is just a personal vendetta by james komi against donald trump and nothing more than that. but we are hearing a lot of incredible new salacious revelations also in this interview something kind of new that we've just heard as well in this interview is that the interviewee george stephanopoulos asked. james komi if he thought russia might have some compromising information on donald trump he was insinuating these unconfirmed reports that have circulated widely that russia might have videotape of with trump with women in hotels in moscow and in this interview james komi said no i cannot rule out that russia might have compromising information on the president of th

like how come he gave up classified information and why did he lie to congress. trump also denied accusations that he asked me for loyalty saying i hardly knew this guy just another of his many lies is memos are self-serving and fake and all the tweets trump called comi slippery out of whack and the worst f.b.i. director in history trumps sex came in last year his handling of the f.b.i. investigation into clinton female practices want second of two she had the chance he's in washington so even by chance standards he seems pretty cross about tony at this stage is. right and there is no discipline that has developed analyzing correlations between trump's early morning tweet storms and what has just been on fox news and there is some evidence that some of these tweets may have been in relation to water just as on the fox morning news show here and here in the united states he has two main concerns in these tweets one is actually not combing it's the rating of his personal lawyers office michael cohen we understand that documents and recordings made by cohen have been seized now by au
