company welcome to the news hour now there are reports that turkey has issued a detention warrant for a second u.s. consular worker last week another american consular employee he was arrested in istanbul over allegations of links to last year's failed coup in turkey the u.s. and turkey have also suspended visa services for each other's nationals lanse a diplomatic dispute escalates. as the latest. in the latest sign of fraying diplomatic relations between two nato allies the u.s. say that was suspending the issuing of visas to turkish nationals twenty four hours later turkey retaliated through its embassy in washington with a statement that effectively mirrors the want released by the united states with some exceptions the move effectively blocked from traveling to the united states

and americans to turkey and differently. from the americans. or or it means they're warning. at all with. regard to the american interest the dispute comes just days after u.s. consulate employee was arrested on charges of espionage and alleged attempts to damage the constitutional order in turkey. attack each national is also accused of having links with the cleric for. the u.s. denies those charges turkey has also expressed a depressed traditional by its fruitless calls for the united states to extradite guillen he's accused of planning the failed july twenty six thousand coup but denies any involvement in the world as others have also indicated the coup was

a scheme but who planned it who was involved in it. thousands of people have been detained in a cock down since the famed coup including u.s. citizens the attack here remains a valuable nato ally it is home to the indian peace a strategic military facility for the u.s. in the war against isel turkey is also part of the u.s. led coalition against isis but uncrossed ties with washington are strained over u.s. support to the city in kurdish fighters the y.p. . they're viewed by turkey as an extension of the outlawed kurdish workers pertti b k k to the us though the white p.d. is the most effective fighting force against i saw mohammed oh i'll just. tensions between the u.s. and turkey started when the u.s. began backing kurdish fighters in their fight against i still in syria and that was

under the obama administration turkey considers those forces an extension of the kurdistan workers party or the p.k. k. which has waged an insurgency within turkey for over three decades more recently us a grand jury indicted fifteen turkish security officials for a brawl with protesters during president earlier ones trip to washington d.c. in may two under scribed indictment scandalous now not even a letter by seventy eight members of the u.s. congress signed a personal appeal from president trump has convinced president other one to release any of the dozen or so americans detained currently in turkey edgar said skinner's a turkey specialist at the risk consultancy group i.h.s. market joins me now from london good to have you with us on al-jazeera but let's just begin with the fact that this issue of detaining a severe turkish national who happens to work in the american embassy is actually

part of a much larger broader issue about the way turkey and the u.s. seem to be on different sides of the fence when it comes to issues of syria relationships with iran or even neighboring countries in the region. very much so this is but the latest episode of what has been a series of disagreements between the two nato allies. we have seen the two countries disagree about the u.s. support for syrian kurds in the past several years in the syrian civil war they have disagreed about various other issues and another important aspect we can't forget is the continued residence of the islamic cleric fit a lot better than in the us which is leading a lot of people in the turkish government and the wider turkish population for that matter to perceive the us as having had a finger in the two thousand and sixteen coup attempts and there is no evidence

necessarily pointing in that direction but this is the perception nonetheless and that's what matters. and this is really weighing down on the relations between the two countries and if it is weighing down on the relation between the two countries and you have you might say both sides trying to find a way forward how do you see that actually do you might see a crack in the stalemate that we're seeing because all we see is a ratcheting up of tension and in this case diplomatic an activity. i mean what we have seen this morning i think is very important the justice minister in turkey announced that or he denied rather that there had to be in yet another arrest warrant issued in the aftermath of the emergence of the crisis yesterday i think that's a very important indicator pointing that turkey is probably unwilling to escalate

further there will want to see attempts from the u.s. probably to initiate some dialogue but importantly i think it's turkey recognizing the red line that the u.s. has now drawn and that right red line is ok we have seen all that has happened in turkey since the last year but if this is going to extend to our own employees in turkey whether or not they're turkish citizens we're not going to let that happen and i think statements by president the one about the matter will be crucial to show as which direction they're willing to take would have to be chosen very carefully certainly by the respective presidents of the administrations but is this one really more so for the diplomats to work you might say behind the scenes now because as you say red lines have been drawn turkey of the united states our nato allies they work together when it comes to issues in syria that they in fact have been backing different sides in the scenario it's hard to find

a way forward perhaps if you are drawing red lines and you're trying to find a way forward at the same time. let me try to describe the relationship like this the two countries are so entrenched in so many ways economically also in terms of turkey's security infrastructure its membership in the nato its reliance on us the nuclear umbrella sort of speak all of these factors that entrenched the two countries into this alliance however as we see more and more often these various spots occurring these disagreements these. sentimental crevices and merging between the two countries that will contribute to a longer term shift of turkey away from the united states. and we will see probably the country seek to rekindle its ties with various other are turning to as we have definitely seen president do on voice such intentions but again this is not

something to you can do overnight and any speculation about turkey having now become a russian ally as opposed to its alliance with the u.s. these are exaggerated these things take much longer time and then than that indeed will have to and see what does happen certainly in the coming weeks for the moment and i said can thanks very much for joining us from our london studio. at least twelve people have drowned after a boat carrying ranger refugees from bangladesh capsized ten of them were children mohammed is following developments in cox's bazaar in southern bangladesh. with the news that yet another boat full of refugees capsized while it was attempting to cross from me and more to bangladesh comes another reminder of the magnitude of this refugee crisis and the fact that our hands are refugees are still trying to

flee and come into bangladesh this area you see behind me these people that are here they all crossed by foot into bangladesh just earlier today we've heard horrific tales from them about what happened to them was a woman over there who told us that her husband was executed in the past week by me and mars' military there's a young boy over here showed us a wound on his legs that he got that when the mean more army shot at the group that he was with very sad stories more reminders that this exodus doesn't seem as though it will in anytime soon that's one reason why aid groups humanitarian organizations are so concerned about the plight of these people while saying in the region the international committee of the red cross says it will reduce its operations in afghanistan seven members of its staff of being killed the six died in an attack on an aid convoy in february and last month a physiotherapist was shot dead by one of her own patients another four workers

have been abducted but the i.c.r.c. says that a lot be leaving the country altogether. exposure to release has become. our greatest challenge. we know that there is no zero risk in afghanistan and we are not aiming at that we don't want to build. differently our security than we have always done our security is built on acceptance and dialogue and that. meaningful service is that get and be provided to people the u.n. says a peacekeeper has been killed and twelve others injured in an attack on a military base in the democratic republic of congo the attack took place near the northeastern city of ben i there's been a fresh outbreak of violence in the region where ethnic tensions are high and soldiers have been battling the allied democratic forces

a group dominated by hardline ugandan muslims spain's deputy prime minister is warning that the madrid government will act on any catalan declaration of independence so rare say as has labeled the castle and president a fanatic she supported by spain's socialist leader petro sanchez who says his party will back the government if it takes action. you know yes but you know. if the cattle on president declares you know actually independence we will have to take measures and that decision will be made by the government of spain we will try to have other political groups join us but as i'm saying that declaration will have a response is that convincing enough. or let's join join the whole now who's a life for us in boston of course the focus of attention is on the court where you are the significance obviously is bringing in the national police to god that quarter of one wonders why that's been done.

yes this is news today the building behind me there the superior. tribunals of justice of catalonia it's the highest court here in catalonia subject to the supreme court in madrid alone as autonomy doesn't extend to do judiciary and what seems to have happened here is that the president of this court made a request to the supreme court asking for units of the guardia seville the national police to be brought in to stand alongside them or sourced squad rather let alone his police force to guard this building in anticipation of what may happen tomorrow tuesday when carlos preached to mark the regional president's address parliament some believe he may unilaterally declare independence now why does that matter here well because there is a transition nor passed by a couple of years parliament in september before the referendum setting out what would happen if catalonia declared independence as it went about setting up

a sort of infrastructure the fabric of state and one of those things is that this court would immediately no longer be considered a national court it would become a catalonian court catalonians highest court again and of course there are worries about what may happen to the people who were there so the supreme court complied quote in order to preserve the integrity of the current tribunals and all who were there so a move here certainly in and to ship it to separation of what happens tomorrow but not as some people have been suggesting part of a process of triggering section one five five that clause of the constitution that you heard the deputy prime minister talking about there by which catalonia is autonomy would be revoked and replaced by direct rule although the threat of that remains very much on the table but the pressure to use article one five five seems to be mounting so if there is such a declaration in real terms jonah what could we see on the streets or in the

political circle. both madrid and barcelona in terms of reacting to article one five five. well in a sense so while nobody knows this is not a clause that's ever been used before there is a procedure in place a procedure that may take some time it requires the government in madrid to forewarn the government here that it is intending to use section one five five because to give the government here time to comply to return to the rule of law or to put right the things that are seem to be wrong and then the government has to go to the senate in madrid where it has a majority it has to be said but go to the senate and the senate then has to look at the way that the process has unfolded to see that compliance has has been correctly done check whether catalonia has made right the things that are wrong and only then does section one five five effectively come into force so the question of

what happens in the minutes and days after a declaration of independence were to happen suppose tomorrow evening i think it's pretty unclear exactly what that would entail although looking at the rising tensions in the last two weeks here in catalonia anything is possible both of them will leave it there of course follow events coming out of barcelona and madrid for the moment jonah thanks so much. plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including britain's office of communications rules and al-jazeera is favor after we exposed israel's campaign to smear critics of their foreign policy plus one of the middle east's internal issues water becomes a factor in the kurds push for independence. and a very public statement from the vice president as mike pence walks the house often an et al game over dealing players those details coming up with joe and sports.

at least ten people have been killed in airstrikes in syria's it'll a province despite it being part of a deescalation zone there were chaotic scenes in the popular market town of a woman in in the aftermath of the bombing sources on the ground believe the strikes were launched by syrian government warplanes most of the victims are believed to have been civilians. and it looks increasingly likely that syrian president bashar assad will stay in power following the six and a half years of a brutal civil war focus is already shifting to reconstruction of towns and cities reduced to rubble in the conflict many countries are already preparing to cash in especially neighboring lebanon in just a report from the port city of tripoli tripoli port has been running below capacity for years but operators aren't is the painting that will soon change the huge terminal is just twenty eight kilometers from the syrian border and the

lebanese government is positioning itself as a major player in the reconstruction of syria when the giant task of rebuilding the country destroyed by war will begin is anyone's guess fighting continues in northern and eastern syria as well as in small areas around the capital damascus. but after a series of major victories president bashar al assad and the syrian government is looking increasingly likely to retain power over large areas of the country introducing an element of stability into economic forecasts not protected by economists since the war started six years ago then the close struction all said he had to mention has been so much in the news lately this has given a lot of hype if you want to get on that lebanon and that to put it can play and this hopefully will. serve our interests tripoli port is nearing the completion of the first phase of an expansion project first drawn up in two thousand and nine

then revised last year with an eye on syria's reconstruction regeneration of the port hasn't gone unnoticed by allies of the assad government including russia's and bassett or to lebanon b.a.p. visitor on a recent government organized tour the world bank estimates it will cost around two hundred billion dollars to rebuild syria for lebanon that could be just the economic stimulus that it needs for the past five years its economic growth rate has hovered at around one and a half percent and it's hoped that this port will lead the way and bring it goes numbers up the lebanese government estimate syria's construction boom will create a demand for thirty million tons of cargo capacity annually which has already led to around four hundred million dollars of capital investment in the port i thought that was the market tripoli pullet is one of the most important ports in the mediterranean sea so this pole will attract a lot of workers from this area and it will also attract a lot of investors. tripoli's widely associated with poverty and that blacked the

ports revival could bring in thousands of you jobs and millions in revenue to the area as well as stimulate lebanon's overall economic growth but that hinges on a peaceful settlement in syria that will pave the way for reconstruction and despite president bashar al assad's gains in recent months peace still seems a long way off if the us time i'll just your tripoli in northern lebanon. because in sarajevo has cleared a former bosnian muslim commander of war crimes serbia had alleged that men or chicks commandment adult prisoners in the srebrenica area in one nine hundred ninety two or a child previously been sentenced to two years in jail by the international criminal court at the hague but was acquitted on appeal just made a cost possible from saudi arabia former commander of wars in amin said bennet sent us an auditor is not guilty of killing three captive serbs all jurors in one thousand nine hundred two this is the first instance verdict delivered by the

bosnian state court in sarajevo it is possible to appeal on the subject in june two thousand and six so it was sentenced by the court in hague two years in prison for failing to prevent the murder and inhumane treatment of prisoners he was immediately released because he had already served the time but the un court's appeal chamber overturned the verdict and cleared him in june two thousand and fifteen he traveled to switzerland where he was arrested on a warrant issued by serbia claiming that he committed war crimes but his base authorities extradited him to bosnia and herzegovina where he was also under investigation for war crimes which he denies the trial started in january two thousand and sixteen many bosniaks see origin as a hero for his role in defending civil and it's before the mystic or in one thousand nine hundred five but many bosnian serbs see him as the man responsible for killing soldiers who surrendered to aboard an army unit under his command. i'm glad merkel has announced a cap on germany's refugee intake in an attempt to get knight her coalition partners following last month's election the german chancellor agreed to limit the

number of new arrivals to two hundred thousand a year it appears to be a concession to her party's bavarian coalition partner which has been one of the strongest critics of merkel's refugee policies. journalism has been vindicated in a landmark ruling issued by britain's broadcasting regulator the office of communications known as off com the decision addressed complaints made against al jazeera is investigative unit which produced the undercover series the lobby the series broadcast in january expose the israeli embassies covert campaign to smear british citizens critical of israel and its policies clayton swisher has this report in a four part series broadcast in january al-jazeera is investigating expose the israeli government's attempts to influence british democracy i think you said you. think. the headlines at eleven o'clock israel's ambassador to the u.k.

has apologized after a senior diplomat was caught on camera saying he wanted to take down the foreign office ministers alan duncan alan balcony was a strong critic of jewish. and israeli senior political officer and a british civil servant were forced to resign the diplomat in question no longer seems to be a functionary of the embassy in london. but whatever whatever he may have been doing here he's come there can be said to be well and truly. following that the pro israel media began to attack al-jazeera complaints were made to after britain's office of communications. the regulatory body is charged with ensuring broadcasters are fair and balanced al-jazeera english is required to uphold its standards the films were accused of being anti-semitic that they infringe the privacy of pro israeli advocates that they were unfair and biased off com launched an investigation that after nine months fully vindicated the work of al-jazeera as

investigative year it rejected every complaint clayton swisher al-jazeera doha. they said with stanley as an investigative journalist of the electronic intifada and love them he says the accusations against al-jazeera were baseless israel and its role in a zation this lobbying organizations and its apologists in the west and around the world that if opposition is very much to smear its critics and anti semites and this is being shown time and time again to be entirely without basis then complains in this case allege that al-jazeera is on the cover filming in its documentary in january was anti semitic. confounds that was completely untrue that it was focused on good citizens of the state of israel and the result praising the u.k. and now is really subverts a process of british democracy by undermining people who were

arguing for the human rights of the palestinians and keeping them back to semitism so. its critics argue that anti-semitism and then the evolution right to expose this fall's malicious campaign then also criticised as being semitic so unfortunately just a sign of the vacuum at the heart of the for israel lobby argument. countries across latin america have been marking the fiftieth anniversary of the death of shane guevara but controversy has broken out after ireland issued a stand featuring the revolutionary of our it became known for his role in the cuban revolution of nine hundred fifty nine fighting alongside fidel and raul castro prominent cuban american knew not scupper as has described him as a mass murderer and should not be honored the one euro stand features the famous image of shea by dublin artist jim fitzpatrick which appears on t.

shirts posters badges and clothing worldwide and is now rated amongst the world's top ten most iconic images jim fitzpatrick joins me now via skype from the irish capital double it's good to have you with us on what is perhaps should have been quite a celebrate three day but it's been quite controversial when you listen to all of the full roar about your image or the image you created on a postage stamp how does it make you feel i'm fascinated because i've been dealing with this for fifty years this isn't the first rule you know. and to see the president criticism you have to remember the old race with the election of trump especially what's happening in europe very vocal these days we have social media so the flag and i'm getting is pretty heavy we have a lot of prominent. politicians on the right in ireland who are going but. surely that's the purpose of the image. to discomfort the comfortable if that is the case

i mean have you ever say sed criticism of this sort of depth and breadth before even from not just politicians in your own country but as we're hearing from civil society in the united states and politicians there to. nope never experience something like that you have to remember it is a black propaganda campaign being run incessantly on she over the past twenty nine years he's been labeled as a homophobe someone who hated blacks despite the fact that he set up roadblocks americans on the black panthers and people like that in the civil rights movement in the u.n. party made a very impassioned speech about black civil rights and it's all nonsense mass murder more people die in america rolls in a month than died in the cuban revolution and ireland we had a bloody revolution in one nine hundred sixteen to one thousand twenty one and our government executed seventy seven rebels in a very short period so. so the wars and revolutions are messy i'm an irish catholic

and i'm a possible son an activist i am a follower of leonardo buff and liberation theology and to me she was a martyr he could have sat in this bomb and been the manager of the central bank of cuba which he was the governor and done nothing and collected a huge pension like many of our politicians do in ireland despite bankrupting the country instead he gave his life for dispossessed exploited one of the poorest countries in the world bolivia where he had no hope in hell of having a revolution the communist party disowned him a few remember sorry don't give me a lecture not a no you don't give me a lecture he said and i'm sure educating and informing our international audience do you find that sometimes debates like this in situations like this actually help you might say revive the debate around che guevara what he was about what he thought for and educates the new generation of young people around the world about what struggle can be a copy because one man's hero is another man's terrorist sometimes in situations

like this that that old adage we both know and love well i'm a friend of gerry adams who was the go to the terrorist for a long time i wouldn't have been on his side you're in our war here you know now he's regarded as a friend he's a peacemaker and blessid are the peacemakers but as regards shea showed to me was one of the greatest men who's ever lived i have never regretted doing that image because i've read so much about him john lee anderson biography called show your revolutionary life looks at both sides of the argument and there you'll get facts if you want to use them but the stuff that's coming out but oh by the americans and the embassies at the moment it's just nonsense you know so easily or truth if you should is just laughable you know your image is of things that we carry we have in our homes it's been on a braless t. shirts that lovely post behind my final question will you be buying one of those one euro stands as a souvenir even. grandchildren have them already i got some of that decision about

our local. coast hopefully next week we'll have it with let me say one thing very quickly i'm also launching a reclaim show you come to stop the commercialization of damages annoys me it's been used to cigarette packs in germany and italy and france i detest stock of the stuff t. shirts don't bother me well for the moment jim fitzpatrick's been a pleasure to have you here on al-jazeera and thanks very much for talking to us from dublin thank you thank you very much well it's time for the weather here is a sort of mixed bag across the u.s. where we're looking at nate and the remains of it still giving some heavy rain across parts of north america in fact although it was a very small storm when it made landfall it did manage to make it into the record books because it was moving at around seventy five kilometers per hour that was just before landfall and that means it had the fastest forward motion of a hurricane in the gulf of mexico because it was moving very fast at that brought something of a relief because it meant that the heavy rain couldn't stick around for too long so

that certainly helped to keep all damage to to its minimal now you can see there's a little bit of damage there few bits of trees down a few branches there on the roads and a little bit of flooding but it could have been far worse now that system is now running up towards the northeast and as it does so it's continuing to disintegrate and skidded you into bridges some pretty heavy rain so new york there is expecting to very very heavy downpours throughout the day today that's also working up into the eastern parts of canada too so also a can expect to see some heavy downpours as well and formally known from that lots of cloud a few very sharp downpours so do expect yet more very heavy showers even towards the south after the west supporting denver four degrees will be our maximum and that's a story because just two days ago we got to twenty six so a real drought for us there's also some rather significant areas of snow in the whole the weather is just edging its way eastwards over the next few days so. thanks very much stuff while still ahead here on the news our africa's first female president is to hand over power as liberians prepare for elections. plus find out

while straining his highest court has set to decide if it should kick seven politicians out of parliament. and joe we'll tell you how this american finally ended a fifteen year run of failures at the chicago marathon that's all coming up in school to stay with us. right. now. and under put it well on. u.s.

and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to for dry riverbed like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been able to escape the war. well the back to the al-jazeera views are the whole robin a reminder of our top stories there are reports that turkey has issued a detention warrant for a second u.s.

consular worker last week and other american consulate employees was arrested in istanbul over allegations of links to last year's failed coup in turkey the u.s. and turkey have also suspended visa services for each other's nationals as the diplomatic dispute escalates at least twelve people have drowned after a boat carrying richenda a few genes from myanmar to bangladesh capsized ten of them were children is the third such incident since people started escaping the violence in libya bars rocky and state in august. also spain's deputy prime minister is warning that the government will take action if catalans a president declares independence on tuesday so rare snares is supported by spain's socialist leader who says his party will back the government if it takes action. to west africa now where in less than twenty four hours from now liberians will be heading to the polls to choose their next president twenty candidates are competing to replace africa's first elected female president on nobel peace prize winner

ellen johnson sirleaf she led libraries transition from a fourteen year civil war that killed more than two hundred fifty thousand people so far there has emerged as a clear favorite to be liberia's next president ever just as live for us from the liberian capital monrovia whoever does get that presidential seat has a very tough act to follow. absolutely. remember. emerged from a conflict less than fifteen years ago so it's been a very difficult moment for liberia with the help of the internet. community some progress have been bad but also the challenges of basic infrastructure in terms of development the election commission he has walked to to to to to bring sanity in the democratic space remember when and justice on the boat and the subsequent

elections that followed we've seen some. negative campaigning some issues relating to electioneering compared but what is impressive for a country that is emerging from a brutal civil war is that the company. has gone on successfully well except for one or two incidents that were reported and the political parties like to measuring up. behaving better well right now. and like you said less than twenty four hours away from now we have the presidential elections that are twenty candidates competing for that and then seven to three seats for legislative seats being competed for by hundreds of other contestants and not to talk about the level of preparedness of the election commission here in liberia about what's coming up tomorrow i have because of the national electoral commission said.

talk to us what the current state of things in terms of preparations for. presently we have deployed. materials to the far east to the areas of the country and we just have areas around to be deployed early tomorrow morning now in terms of security what are we looking at everything is secure we have six thousand police persons and other parastatals. security deployed around the country so we have approximately two. security two a precinct now. basically the elections tomorrow when do we expect the results to come in the results will be brought to be provisionally brought in probably giving results as of wednesday evening now. i

understand the. candidate needs to win fifty percent of the vote in order to win the vote outright. in the first round of elections when. you have to win you have to have fifty one fifty percent plus one. that. will be a runoff and that will take place approximately two weeks it should be two weeks but sometimes. november. thank you so much it was. a commission so everything you said now. the voting process will start. tomorrow morning and expected. to start trickling in by wednesday. believe it. will follow the process of the election with you tomorrow thank you.

iraq has taken measures against kurdish region for last month's a session vote but kurdish farmers in iraq being punished by neighboring iran to. stem the flow of water to border towns. been a tough season for many kurdish farmers and there is concern that this is just the beginning of a series of bad ones. usually produces watermelon string beans and. now he has to make choices as a quality of his crops has declined. if there was enough plant this land but now we only work on two out of ten. we need to estimate how much water there is before working the land and we have to make a choice if they continue like this we will have to abandon the land.

the problem started a few months ago went across the border closed the dam on the river which is shared by both. some here say it all started when the kurdish referendum was first announced but iran says it needs the water for its own domestic consumption. here it meant that during the summer season farmers couldn't get their land and most of the harvest went to waste farming here depends on shallow wells and normally. but. well. underground water is becoming scarce faced with this problem but hahn. deeper well to save his fish farming business. the lack of water. on the fish the size also depends on the quality of water.

continuous floor of fresh and clean water we don't do that anymore from the first and it goes out from the last. but this is not sustainable for much longer many subscribers have also gone dry. the water is trickling back again but the flow remains at less than eighty percent of what it used to those living in the area say they only get three hours of water and. you can see where the water level used to be we build these dams they hand made its primary emergency reactions so we can stock some water that can feed the city and the areas the pumps need a certain level of pressure to function water is not something to be neglected and it's not replaceable i think the crisis will grow. the little zab river also feeds into karen lake one of two deborah duces hydroelectricity and occurred ish region here to the level is going down so far negotiations between iran and iraq's kurds

haven't gone anywhere and kurdish authorities have now been threatening to cut off water supplies to central and southern iraq to provide for their own. but at the hemi al-jazeera in order. to trumpet ministration as outlined to congressional leaders new hardline immigration plans the proposals include limiting the number of green cards for family members of u.s. citizens trump wants to employ an additional ten thousand immigration officers and judges to deport criminals and unaccompanied children he plans also to penalize so-called century cities because they refused to share information to help enforce federal u.s. immigration policies also the white house has addressed the issue of people who arrive in the u.s. as children known as dreamers trump says to protect them from deportation congress must approve funding for a wall on the border with mexico democrats have ruled out that bargain saying it's

far beyond what is reasonable. well staying in the u.s. of the u.s. rifle association or the n.r.a. says it will oppose an outright ban on stock devices the powerful gun lobby says it's open to regulation but against any legislation banning the modification last week's in las vegas government is said to have used a bug stock device it converts seven automatic rifles into fully automatic weapons allowing a rifle to fire four hundred to eight hundred rounds in a single minute would you be ok with banning bomb stocks but we don't believe that bans have ever worked on anything what we've said has been very clear that if something transfers a similar magic to function like fully automatic then it ought to be regulated differently fully automatic a regulated differently in this country if something copies a similar magic into a fully automatic then those should be regulated as well but australia now where its highest court is to decide this week whether seven members of parliament should
