8:23 pm
gone down as they have been fought. police and armed forces like the army and navy filled the gap for kidnapping more people they try to infiltrate the groups. this person has taken on the case in the only human rights center working in the state. even his small office was surrounded by marines last year. with activists silent. and local media silent, government forces in the cartel's fight in a state that is a transit point for drug smugglers. and a route for migrants heading through to the u.s. border. >> the honduras found refuge in the shelter, after being abducted and stripped. he was let go, more have not been so lucky. >> just leaving here makes me scared. i could be kidnapped gain. every weekend the gangs hang around waiting to see if they come out. >> many vanish on the roads,

8:25 pm
makers will raise interest rates. it appears the volatility left officials divided over what to do next. patricia sabga has more. >> it's been nearly a decade since the federal reserve raised interest rates. and the turmoil in global markets appears to have left policy makers divided over when to pull the trigger. the dow jones plummeted 1,000 points at the start of trading, last monday, only to finish higher, while oil prices hit lows before bouncing back. the swings were triggered by a disturbing sign of weakness in china's economy, which is a primary engine of growth. as it slows, it is felt around the world. take oil. china is the world's biggest consumer. there's an impact on global currency markets. china engineered a dramatic
8:26 pm
evaluation, training a wave of currency evaluations and markets. if they get weaker, they get stronger, spelling trouble for the exports, because a strong director makes u.s. goods more expensive to boy. raising interest rates could cause more. you have a recipe for low inflation, which is below the fed's 2% factoring for three years. the big question for the fed officials is will the factors persist or ease up. speaking at an annual conference over the weekend, fed vice chair stanley fisher said there's good reason to believe inflation will pick up, leaving the door open to a rate hike in september. in the middle of last week, market madness, the president said a september rate hike was less compelling because of china. all policy makers can do now, before they meet this september.

8:30 pm
it's sunday night and time to take a look at "the week ahead". donald trump is dominating the presidential discourse. so much so for the first time you are hearing big names in the republican party whispering that he may take nomination. trump says a decision on a third party run it imminent. a poll putting him in the lead in iowa was a key state in the race for the white house. louisiana's governor bobby jindal dismissing the rise as the sum of silliness. is it? michael shure has more. >> reporter: from disparaging
8:31 pm
immigrants... >> they bring in drugs, crime, they are rapists. >>..to threatening to expel families. >> we have to keep the families together. but they have to go. >> reporter: to expelling journalists. >> you have not been called. >> i have the right to ask a question. >> reporter: the man at the top of the republican polls has taken divisive stands when it comes to the voting block. kyle is the university of virgin's center for politics. >> donald trump is leading poll, and the most anti-immigration pro border security statements of anyone. i think a lot of other candidates are trying to mimic. >> while this made a play to the conservative base, it's a far cry from where the party stood in the 1980s. >> rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don't we work out some recognition of our mutual problems.
8:32 pm
make it possible for them to come legally with a work permit. and while they are working and earning, they pay taxes. when they go back, they go back, and go across and open the border by understanding their problem. >> it was not just regan taking the position, but the man that would be the vice-president. >> it was kind of illegal some kind of thing that i would like to see legal. we are creating a whole society of honourable decent family-loving people in violation of the law, and we are ex-as bitting relations -- exacerbating relations with mexico. >> the candidate is different to his son, addressing birthright citizenship using a derogatory phase when referencing children born in the united states to undocumented residents. >> women are coming in to have babies. it will be greater enforcement.
8:33 pm
that is legitimate. so that you don't have these anchor babies described. >> reporter: and democrats, especially front runner hillary clinton welcomed the rhetoric, taking every opportunity to point out as in this tweet in english and spanish. and the back and forth continues. >> this is it ludicrous for the clinton campaign and others to suggest somehow i'm using a derogatory term. >> reporter: clinton sets up a just tea position to the g.o.p., allowing her to appeal to hispanic voters. >> it's good for the democrats. they are reliant on the nonwhite vote, and they don't want the republicans to build bridges. >> they filled 17 presidential candidates, one of whom senator lindsay graham supports a pathway to citizenship. >> i think he's a wrecking ball
8:34 pm
for the future of the republican party with the hispanic community, and we need to push back. >> gram is a minor city. some feel that it's not a coincidence that he's towards the back of the pack in polls that have trump in front. >> trump's appeal is a native appeal. and designed for white people. >> it may be in 2016, or it may be years later that we learn whether the stand on immigration is politics or if republicans are building a wall around their own party so take a look at these numbers. the latest poll taken by the demoyne register at bloomberg showing trump surging ahead on the lead. he has 23% of vote. ben carson coming in second with 18%. on the democratic side, hillary clinton coming 37%. bernie sanders trailling this time 30%, just seven points.
8:35 pm
her lead is said to be shrinking. back on the republican side, the solution to immigration. saying they should be tracked like fed ex packages. >> my point was the private sector laps us. fed ex can do it, why can't we use that technology. >> have a number or a label on the wrist. >> we can do it. and bring in fed ex and use the technology to do it. there's nothing wrong with that. i don't mean people are packages, let's not be ridiculous. >> remember the talk of political dynasties, jed bush and hillary clinton, the early favourites are fading in tough times. comments calling children born to immigrant mothers anchor baby and questions about clinton's
8:36 pm
emails pushing them down. >> a deputy vice president at the national council of laraza and brendan is a public reporter at "the national review", joining us from washington d.c. i'll start with you, first of all, you can see that donald trumps as republican standard bearer heading into the election. some say there's a whisper he could be the nomination. what do you say to that? >> frankly, i don't know. i think it's too early for any reading of the tea leaves right now about who will be the nominee, for either party. there's some facts, and i think that one of the facts is that this kind of feeling of a rhetoric that only seeks to advance fear and anxiety is
8:37 pm
dama damaging to the american community, it's a fact. we are starting to see evidence of that backlash. >> let me ask you this if there is backlash, why is donald trump gaining in the polls. for many years there's more than a few politicians, in this country or any other. liking to insight fear, anxiety and people. donald trump is riling up the folks that are feeling anxious. >> the subject matter is deeper. the anxiety and fear that the candidates are steering up is about the change in the country, every time our country has gone through the chapters, we have seen a backlash, happening to every group. i think that there's damage to
8:38 pm
the american community on that front. and it's seen as a way from focussing on what the candidates are going to do. secondly, i think that regardless of who the nominee for the republican party ends up being, what is happening now is severely damaging the republican grand with voters of colour. >> mr borderland, i was in washington d.c. for the first time. i'm hearing republicans say the words donald trump republican nominee for president. what hear you? >> again, you know, i echo clarissa, no one wants to come occupant at this point and say donald trump will be or fade and flare out like they said would happen a month ago, two months ago, three months ago. it's hard to predict. the republican establishment in washington doesn't know what to do. i can tell you they are not
8:39 pm
happy about it. it's a mistake for them to go after donald trump too hard. the harder they go after him, the more upset that they appear, that his base rallies behind him. the more wound up they are. i think the rarityies take a step back. going to the fall, and see what happens. on the democratic side. didn't that same thing happen just seven years ago when there was a young man, president obama, running against her. what does that say about hillary clinton? >> yes, it's deja vu in iowa. this time, i don't think bernie sanders is a president obama, he has none of the charismatic appeal. he's an honest person, coming across with progressives and democrats. they feel he's speaking directly, that having been said,
8:40 pm
there's no charismatic... >> is that journalistic diatribe. when we spoke years ago and president obama was surging in the polls, he was the come from behind candidate, enough to con kerr hillary clinton, when we talked about bernie sanders, there seemed to be an effort on the part of the media to minimise what he has done, and yet the crowds around him seemed to be growing. >> well - so i was at the meeting over the last weekend, and banders told reporters, he hadn't been to the meeting since 2008. he's not really plugged into the democratic establishment. he's not like someone like president obama with a long history of speaking out. two people that need to get him elected to the movers and shakers of the party, when pundits look at that, they say it's a long shot.
8:41 pm
more long shot than president obama 2008. if you remember during the 2004 convention. president obama game. he wowed the grassroots. no one said that. that's not to say that he can't pull it off. i don't think that he has the same charisma as president obama did. >> bernie sanders - how do they feel about bernie sanders? >> we had a conference, a convention, the largest latino conference. we had all three democratic candidates there. we invited the republicans. also we are well received. clinton, o'malley and bernie sanders. i think that definitely clinton has a great deal of name recognition, and clinton was popular with the latino
8:42 pm
community, she has that going for her. o'malley, clinton have been strong in terms of what the prescription would be on the issue of immigration, and it is one that coin sites with what the vast majority believe in. we need immigration reform, relief from millions of families that have not seen progress on the issue for two decades. i think mr sanders is vocal on the issue, also, i think in this presentation he was very well received on economic issues, which is one of the priorities for the latino community. >> the fact that the republicans didn't come to your national conference in kansas city, a fact that all the talks in republican side or a large trunk seems to deal with the issue of immigration. do you feel after everything that happened in 2007, do you feel they care about latinos?
8:43 pm
>> i think every presidential election, and some of the other state-wide national elections, voters reveal that they have a brace for impact. particularly during the primary period. one thing that the republicans meet to be concerned about. while most voters pay attention to what candidates are saying later on, now, latinos are paying attention to what candidates are saying, and they are hearing and watching whether the candidates are following his lead, or are denouncing it. i think it will affect them once we get closer to who wins the nomination. >> jed bush is supposed to be the front runner on the republican side. he seems to have trouble gaining traction. why?
8:44 pm
what happens to the ru can established. if donald trump takes the nomination, should we talk about jed bush running as an independent? >> i don't think you are going to see that happening. bush wants to see the republican party win first, and a split ticket would hand the election to the democrats. that having been said, i think you can talk about this with bernie sanders and his momentum as well. in both sides, on both parties, there's a deep-seated discontent with the establishment, with the people in washington, with the politics as usual, with the big donors and money. it's like hillary clinton epitomizes that on the left, and jed bush on the right. i think that that is taking off. people are very frustrated with washington. and they see donald trump as someone that has not held elective office. the governor for eight years. someone that doesn't need
8:45 pm
political donations. jed bush is leading the pact in that. it's hurting him. the antiestablishment push is primarily against jed bush stay tuned for joe biden. brendan, political reporter from national review, thank you to both our guests for joining us. >> thank you when al jazeera america returns, a controversial deal showing a scuffle between an israeli soldiers and palestinian boy that goes viral. plus, the highest peak in north america - why it could get a name change. name change.
8:48 pm
we want to show you video that has 2 million views online, it's amateur video, and shows a scuffle in the west bank, it has gone viral. israeli soldiers tried to arrest a 12-year-old boy, accused of trying to throw rocks. the soldier tackling the boy. his arm is in a cast. within seconds, relatives, all women, arrive. they swarm the soldiers and start beating him over the head. at 1.1 of the women bites his arm, he let's the boy go. but then threw a tear gas

grenade to the ground as he left japan tonight divided over plans to expand the roll on security missions beyond the country's borders, as peter gatenby explains, the opposition and staging a demonstration in tokyo. >> reporter: under its constitution japan is barred from using force to resolve conflict, except to defend itself. these protesters outside japan's parliament want it to stay that way. >> 70 years ago so many people lost their loved ones and went through such hardships, they want to leave a legacy of weapons for the future. our constitution has been violated. that is why we are protesting demonstrations have been taking place across the country, they are led by students and others, that say they want to protect the passist constitution.
