helicopter flights and two planes up on patrol every day since. and so far they haven't found any other vessels. >> at least not ones with migrants visible on deck. this is, though, a busy sea. every fishing boat needs to be checked and a near impossible task given that each aircraft flies just two hours each day. that the captain insists is enough. >> if there are migrants out there as rumors suggest and if they come through thai waters we'll find them. but so far we have not seen anybody. >> for now, a women's shelter near the thai island. last november, she said, she was tricked into leaving her children in myanmar while they left on a boat in search of work work. but in fact she was kidnapped.

but by that time women should be able to rest. >> this woman who works as a cashier in a cafe cannot forward toafford to rest at night. she needs to work night shift to earn money and support her parents. >> i'm trying to make a living and i have a decent job. i really think that the government should look at what we women are doing and what kind of work we do. >> despite the risk of being caught by the sharia law police, she said that she's in no position to give up her night shift. according to the new regulations her employer could lose his license if she works beyond 11:00 p.m. >> the sharia law was introduced 14 years ago since then women have been punished for wearing the wrong clothes, and now they can't work at night. or stay out late. those advocating for women's

rights are asking for a humane version of the islamic law. they say because the regulation has been issued in the name of religion only a few women openly dare to protest. >> this regulation has to be withdrawn. the national government should be informed about this. this is clearly discriminatory. >> don't let this happen, it could be implemented in other parts of the country as well, all in the name of islamic law which is, according to me, a completely wrong interpretation. >> officials in jakarta say they want to review the regulations in aceh. and while aceh has autonomy, it's regulations cannot contradict the constitution. >> i will cord incarcerate coordinate this because it is discriminative. many women are affected by it because they work at night. we need to review this, and i'll

[ cheering ] that is why i am running for president much the united states

states! >> there she is. well let's speak with kimberly halkett, she joins us live from new york. what did she focus on in her speech kimberly? >> well, you heard a little bit of it right there in that clip we just heard. that really was the overamping message of this speech. that hillary clinton believes while there has been a lot of economic recovery in recent years, it has eclipsed many working class americans. she used the roosevelts as an imagery to inspire people who were here to listen to the speech thousands i should point out. she'll use many of those same traditions to lift people out of poverty after roosevelt did after the great depression. she said that the tax dollars

tend to benefit the wealthy. she said as president she would work to over come that to see that all americans benefit from prosperity. >> of course, a lot of people accuse her of being out of touch, married to a former president, very wealthy at that. how else did they counter that argument? did she manage to do it? >> well, that is something that she certainly has to work on, and she didn't dwell on it in the speech, but it was definitely in the minds of her supporters. hillary clinton has made millions in recent months just from speaking fees, and many feel she may be out of touch with the working people and middle-class americans. but she reminded supporters that she comes from humble middle class roots. her father worked in a factory for decades and her mother came from a working class background, those are stories that continue

to inspire her for those who are continueing to struggle. >> did she say anything about foreign policy? >> you know, this is largely a domestic policy speech, but hillary clinton did touch on some foreign policy. she said surprisely surprisingly said that she would stand up to putin and said that referencing the islamic state in iraq and the levant, that there are a number of challenges that the united states faces but it continues to be a leader because of its policy of working through diplomacy, something that she said she would carry on. but at the same time this is a very small part of the speech. the real message was domestic to americans, and how she feels that as the first women president-elected she would lift up lives and living standards. >> kimberly halkett in new york. kimberly, thank you. >> well, staying in the u.s. the parents of a prominent civil

rights activist has accused their daughter of lying about being native native american. african american. >> rachel dozeal is the 31-year-old leader of the washington chapter naacp. she has been thrust into the spotlight by her parents who have told reporters that her daughter is not ethnically african-american. >> shy knows its false but i think she has told herself as well as others this erroneous identity of hers that by now she may believe it more than she believes the truth. >> talking heads pounced on the case and social media networks

lit up. but many schoolers who study race and identity in america had a somewhat different reaction. >> so what? i mean seriously. unless this woman has done something that is harmful and detrimental to her family and her community, from what i've read about her she has done extraordinarily things. by the way the naacp was found founded and run by whites and blacks. >> exactly why and when dolezal had decided to present herself as black is not known. she handed howard university on scholarship. she was once married to an african-american man and teaches africana studies. >> i think the united states has a perverse relationship with race. you know, race is so fraught in

this country and one of the things that this entire event does is exposes how ludicrous our social phenomenon has been. it's had harmful effects on our society. we make fun of it. we make light of it, and here is someone who exposes to her case just how situational how contactual the notion of race can be, how voluntary identify can be. >> the naacp issued a statement supporting dolezal saying we respect her privacy in this matter. one's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for naacp leadership. >> in ukraine six soldiers have been killed and 40 wounded in battles with pro russia rebels. fighting was especially heavy in donetsk under rebel control.

>> i think i will get rid of the limits which i have today and i'll be more independent and this will much improve my life. >> the surgeon wants to transplant his head on to another body in two years. he is come to a medical conference in annapolis maryland asking scientists for help in turning theory into. >> the chances this will work is 90%. of course there is marginal risk. >> the tissue around the neck would be cut and the blood vessels linked together with tubes. then the spinal cords of each person will be severed.

the blood vessels and the muscles would be stitched together. the patient would be kept in a coma from three to four weeks to prevent movement. the proposal has been condemned by some doctors as a hoax. >> inseveral professors criticizing his work but you know there is criticism for the his heart transplant as well. now it's commonplace. >> he said that he may struggle getting ethical approval to carry out the operation in the west. the implications are enormous. so are the challenges. but the same could be said of past operations that have pushed the boundaries to science. al jazeera. >> we'll have to see if it actually comes to pass. remember you can get much more on everything else we've been covering here on al jazeera on
