hear the news for thanks for joining us we're live on air we're streaming online through you tube facebook live and al-jazeera dot com so we begin with the deepening diplomatic standoff between the united states and turkey who has now suspended many visits services for its other citizens while the tit for tat moves comes as turkey issues a detention warrant for a second u.s. consulate worker having arrested another last week mohamed odeh reports. in the latest sign of fraying diplomatic relations between two nato allies the us say that was suspending the issuing of visits to turkish nationals twenty four hours later turkey retaliated through its embassy in washington with a statement that effectively immunise the want released by the united states with some exceptions the move effectively blocks turks from traveling to the united

states and americans to turkey and definitively. from the americans. or already there warning. at all with. regard to the american interests the disputes comes just days after the u.s. consulate employee who was arrested on charges of espionage and alleged attempts to damage the constitutional order in talking. to police the tackiest national is also accused of having links with the cleric for. the u.s. denies those charges tuckey has also expressed deep frustration the lights for close calls for the united states to extradite guillen he's accused of plotting the field july two into sixteen but denies any involvement. 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 failed coup including u.s. citizens talk he remains a valuable nato ally it is home to the indian. military facility for the u.s. in the war against isel turkey is also part of the u.s. led coalition against isis but i'm kind of ties with washington us three and over u.s. support to the city in kurdish fighters the y.p. . viewed by techie as an extension of the ultimate would. be k.k. to the us though the white is the most effective fighting force against eisel. well as one how much said their relations have been on the sly particularly over syria and there have been other problems as well there was that brawl between

protesters and some of the turkish security entourage during rest of the visit to washington in may and the u.s. grand jury has indicted fifteen turkish security officials what's described as scandalous meanwhile at least a dozen u.s. nationals are being detained in turkey accused of having ties to fatah golan who as we know is accused of orchestrating the failed coup and the u.s. state department has updated its travel advice for americans urging them to carefully consider their needs to travel to turkey let suspected nick danforth he's a senior policy analyst at bipartisan policy center that's a think tank joining us from washington d.c. so now we know that turkey has issued a detention warrant for another u.s. consulate worker how unprecedented are all of these developments this is really you know people have been talking about declining u.s. turkish relations for the better part of a decade now this is

a new low. but this is all pretty much a larger symptom off many different issues that have been going on between the two countries how much further could this escalates and how much further do both the u.s. on turkey want things to escalate or not well and that's what's so discouraging about the situation i mean most likely neither side wanted it to escalate to this point but right now it looks like it's like a diplomatic game of chicken in which no one's prepared to back down and as you know so often the case with these situations the people who are going to get hurt the people who've been hurt by these recent visa decisions you know ordinary citizens. sort of sad irony of this is that the people most impacted by the united states his decision to end visa processing will likely be some of the people in turkey who are already most critical of the turkish government in their government and responded by cutting off easy access to u.s.

citizens again the people who will be the most her will be people in the tourist industry in turkey who lose revenues as a result do you think that the u.s. and turkey both view each other as reliable partners at this point i mean we know that there have been disagreements if you just zone in on some of the issues that have been disagreements over the curtis kurdish. fighters which the u.s. backs as you know in the war against i so there is disagreement over fatah going on himself the u.s. does not extradite him to turkey and that is what turkey wants the u.s. to do so. do you still think that they view each other as reliable partners at all . on both sides the answer is very much you know you know for the united states again going back. over the past decade the frustration was originally that you know we weren't getting the kind of cooperation from turkey that we'd hoped in addressing regional issues in syria in iraq and now increasingly the fear in washington is that rather than no longer being

a reliable ally in confronting regional instability as turkey has been in the past turkey has actually become a source of instability in and of itself and that that could get worse so by the same token within turkey right i mean you mentioned the major issues sorry go on go on. you highlighted the very key issues i mean from the turkish point of view it's not just the united states is no longer seen as a reliable ally i think many people within airlines government genuinely think that the united states is a threat genuinely think that the united states was behind the coup in twenty sixteen trying to topple them re you know as you said the united states is backing the kurdish fighters in syria whose partners the p.k. k. are at war with the turkish state it's you know it really is as grim a situation as has happened as existed in the history of u.s. troops relations cycle going forward what happens what is the worst case scenario here how do you see this developing. you know the worst case scenario

is that this kind of tit for tat escalation continues and even the kind of low level of functional cooperation that the united states and turkey have been able to maintain breaks down you know turkey has been repeatedly threatening to invade the . kurdish run part of northern syria that has been his fighters have been in the forefront of the fight against isis you know if turkey were to go through with a step like that would be catastrophic for the u.s. fight against isis it also would create an even bigger backlash even greater anger in the united states really leading to a much more dramatic breakdown of ties all right and danforth we thank you for joining us on the news grid and we do have viewers watching us this evening getting comments via facebook and let me just tell you what one of those comments are in jolla months i hope i pronounced that correctly saying this is a lesson for turkey they are the ones helping america to fight assad that's a sudden and said the president of syria now you will know that america is not

a friend so that is just one of the comments coming to us here on the newsgroup or elsewhere in the region what's happening is that iran is promising a quote crushing response that's if the u.s. designates its revolutionary guards as a terrorist group so the pledge has been made a week before donald trump announces a final decision on how he wants to contain iran according to u.s. officials zain bus ravi is into her on with more. in the last few days the headlines here have been dominated by defiant rhetoric from iranian leaders who say that any actions by the united states to impose new sanctions or to abandon the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal will be met with a strong response at a news conference iran's foreign ministry spokesman bufferin kasumi has said that it would be a strategic mistake for the white house to place the country's revolutionary guard corps on a list of terror organizations and that he hoped for a more rational response from the u.s.

president the language in recent days from the revolutionary guard itself has been much stronger the chief commander has said that if the united states was to take such an action then its bases in the region would be considered strategic targets and that its troops in the region would be given the same status in the eyes of the iranian forces as isis fighters and even as countries who helped negotiate the nuclear dealers the united states not to take any actions to abandon it iran wants people to know that it will meet any new challenges from a position of strength it's posturing on both sides that is putting the obama administration's hard won nuclear deal in jeopardy you can get in touch with us here on the news greg we do want to hear from you from on these stories and you can send your comments to anyone offer online platforms where on twitter you can tweet us at a day englis or on facebook at facebook dot com news grid and you can send us a whatsapp on plus one seven four five or one four nine and as always rather you

can use the has a day. now after years of recovery from civil wars that almost destroyed their country liberians are preparing for an election which they hope will be the first democratic power transfer in seventy three years so twenty candidates are vying to replace seventy eight year old president and nobel peace prize laureates ellen johnson sirleaf among the front runners is the vice president joseph. representing the ruling unity party another favorite is football star george well we he served in the senate since twenty fourteen for the opposition congress for democratic change what is running mate is jewel howard taylor who's a senator and she's also the ex-wife of warlords charles taylor who's serving a life sentence in a british prison for his crimes also in the running is a man called prince johnson the senator was a rebel leader who became infamous for torturing and killing

a sitting president in one nine hundred ninety johnson says he regrets what he did and has reconciled with the murdered president's family life to joining us from monroe you're covering these elections for us to tell us how the country is preparing for this election. well basically security has been deployed on liberia especially the fata way counties and also election but we spoke to the election commission chairperson should want to go and she said. the election materials have been delivered to congress especially those in the far eastern part of the country what remains now those counties that sounds. easy to get so basically from tonight and up till to morrow morning when elections are supposed to kick off eight o'clock they hope to do all these election materials for voting to start so it looks like everything is set and the political parties according to one of the really behaving campaign

ended at midnight last night so. it's next election and you heard me talking about the candidates just a moment ago so really a wide range of candidates running in the selection but it seems that many of them are running on the same platform. themselves one out of this election what were the issues that are important to them. basically when you talk to. trying to get the votes they need to get into. the old talking from from the what looks like from one single script they all sound and feel the same for many so a lot of liberians. to restrict themselves to not go down the choices to issues like you know. coming from a region as you coming from my tribe but also there are people who. sounded very

well with the liberian people i spoke to a lot of latinos about the past few days and they told us that what they need is a leader who will continue to maintain peace. and then issue development in terms of infrastructure one basic thing they're talking about is road. the funding of education and. forth across liberia and then you show how they also want to see more action in that regard as well as the security situation across liberia they want water they would almost all infrastructure in need of repairs or need of all the whole we so the international community through the united nations and international organizations like the non-governmental organization how to recover from the court from the wall and so with their movement out of liberia it's going to be somehow a difficult thing for whoever takes over from and enjoy. ok then we do have

viewers with us watching from liberia in fact they're all a saying to more as our elections they i hope everything will be peaceful so he's sharing that with us on facebook anderson is here he's our social media producer to tell us what expectations people are sharing online andrew well as ahmed was saying many of the twenty presidential candidates that are running to replace ellen johnson sirleaf have similar platforms to address some of the biggest issues that are facing voters now afro barometer has conducted public surveys in liberia since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine and they tweeted out some useful data which suggests that the top issues for voters this is going back to twenty fifteen or unemployment and management of the economy as well as infrastructure and health care let's hear what some other voters had to say. we are not seeing much in our lives as young people. across the country we as young people we are hoping to see a smooth transition for. president to the next one you know so.

you know it will follow democracy a young democracy the real thing the issue of education is off the importance of foremost importance to like this because no electricity makes progress the reason why we have hot some of the challenges we have over the years is because a house illiterate population on the scene law schools more rules because. a lot if the rules are not open when i had you know if we want to go back into agriculture now in many ways the electorate is unhappy and unsatisfied since two thousand and twelve more and more liberians have said the country was heading in the wrong direction trust in the president and other politicians dropped in this period that's according to the surveys i mentioned earlier liberia's minister of public works juday more told me why expectations remain so high. in two thousand and six after almost three decades of civil unrest and brown and conflict people

expect to see things at the government go into those elections this back to the new government to provide pieces you curity to restore basic services to build the infrastructure and to grow the economy and this was always going to be a tall order because liberia is one of the poorest countries in the world and highly dependent on aid yet on those counts this administration has managed to deliver and go into these elections people are going to look for an administrator and that is able to continue moving the country in that direction and that's what this country deserves after the war after the boat people are looking for more opportunities in terms of the economy and for the ability to be able to increase improve their standard of living politician right now if you're watching these elections do share your views with us you can tell us what other issues are important you can tweet me directly i'm at enter chapelle or to see is the has tag it in his card. and our web team has put together

offices in faryab and provinces and reduce its activities in the province let's speak to michael semple he's a visiting research professor at the institute for global peace security and justice at queen's university that's in belfast thanks for joining us so the i.c.r.c. has been working in afghanistan for more than three decades i know you certainly don't speak for the i.c.r.c. but you know the lay of the land very well why have attacks against the humanitarian workers escalated recently. well it's certainly a very sad day that we hear about the reduction of i.c.r.c. services they have been appreciated for three decades and i know that the afghans in the north of the country today were really disappointed to hear this the reason they they've had to cut down their services is because it has become too dangerous to operate there that the the congo the conflict has become more complex not just

more intense and it's become increasingly difficult for humanitarian organizations to negotiate safe access to the places where they want to deliver their services so this is a very significant decision then by the our series see what impact do you think it's going to have on the operations and also the people that depend on this type of aid. well actually i've talked to people on both sides of the conflict up in the north of afghanistan today and both people on government side on the on the insurgent side. are worried about the future because of this they they depend upon the the work of organizations like the i.c.r.c. to defend values of humanity in these difficult times of conflict in practical terms it means that those who've been injured in the conflict will find it more difficult to get access to the essential medical services that they

require the war now has entered its seventh year in afghanistan i mean just a moment ago you were furring to how complex the situation has gotten there i wonder if you can just elaborate on that and give me your thoughts on afghanistan as the war now as i said is in its seventeenth year. yes for many years people have got accustomed to talking about a a war between the u.s. backed afghan government. or the taliban insurgents that no longer describes the the conflict particularly in northern afghanistan and certainly that's not the problem which led to the the tragic killing of i.c.r.c. stuff in the area in february there is now a three cornered fight in northern afghanistan between islamic state and the taliban the afghan government and in recent weeks islamic state has actually been making progress in the areas that the i.c.r.c.

has now pulled out of its a three cornered flight ok michael semple we'll have to leave it there but we thank you for joining us on al-jazeera. well if you're watching us on facebook live what you'll see in a moment is the heroine of world war two you've probably never heard of that's coming up on facebook and also ahead on the news grid in just a moment the u.s. president donald trump plays hardball with congress over immigration as the fate of young undocumented migrants hangs in the balance that stories coming up in just a moment. with. hello there we're seeing some very heavy showers over parts of turkey recently so we know out of this weather system here the southern parts of turkey is where we've seen the heaviest of the rains and here some places have we reporting over fifty millimeters of wet weather that system it's continuing its journey east it's not it does so it's also causing a few showers to sprout up

a bit further south so lebanon's seeing some fairly wet weather at the moment that gradually will ease there was the whole system runs its way eastward so still the risk of want to show it it during the day on tuesday but the main focus of the rain will be further north over the northern parts of turkey and it looks like it's going to be fairly wet here at times during the day even that low begins to ease as we head through wednesday in the snow a great deal of what weather left a tool as we head into wednesday we will for the east is a return to the woman weather force in tuscon where we are up to around twenty six now a bit further south and here in doha definitely not feeling as hot as it has been over the last month or so when the temperatures will continue to ease as we head through the next few days we're going to see the winds really begin to pick up later on during the week and that will bring down those temperatures somewhat still on the thermometer reading around thirty nine but it's a dry heat so not feeling so bad just at the moment further south you can see this whole area of cloud to giving us some very very wet weather particularly in the eastern parts of south africa. with.

a rite of passage preserved through the generations my cousin was laying down there until a screaming she was helpless the woman who after endorses facal of pain for . meets the women affected by s.g.m. and those reshaping perception they're saying people will abandon the search even through it a bit of a mistake by al-jazeera correspondent because this time. when the news breaks it is an insurrection great chance. to stick the eggs. and the story building. much better marketers. when people need to be heard they thought they were american until they broke the law now they're deported to. al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you my

award winning documentaries and live news and online.

most read stories on our website right now the top two spots and facts on the turkey u.s. diplomatic rift that appears to be brewing so read more about that and analysis we have analysis on how and if this is going to escalate its all at al-jazeera dot com . and andrew is back with me now to talk about a controversial story emerging from latin america and europe colombia in fact where there are reports that anti narcotics police in a southwestern city of two mako killed six farmers last thursday during protests against the destruction of coca crops which are being wiped out as part of the government's war on drugs but there are conflicting accounts over what's really happening there now the defense ministry says some dissident fark rebels who refused to accept this year's peace deal were behind the protest and fired on

police first before killing six farmers on the other hand the farmers and local organisations deny any connection to the rebels and say nine people were actually killed when police opened fire to break up protests now the case has opened a big online discussion regarding police brutality in colombia and the war on drugs the journalist says the massacre is further proof proof rather that president juan manuel santos anti narcotics policy is failing while jose miguel de falco he's with human rights watch is calling it a massacre as well and is also calling for an investigation of another incident on sunday in which police allegedly opened fire again this time on journalists and observers who were investigating last week's killings now in a statement published on twitter the colombian police force say that they've opened an investigation and have applied a disciplinary action to suspend the four officers who allegedly opened fire president juan manuel santos also reacted to the case although he didn't mention

any sides he's promised to keep up a tough fight against drugs. we won't allow any criminal organization to have a successful policy a policy we need to be successful to recover the legality of the whole national territory and substitute coco's crops with legal crops and the case is brought to the surface colombia's greatest challenge one of them at the moment dealing with dissident fark members who did not accept the peace agreement many of whom are still behind cocaine operations in the colombian jungles the un mission in colombia says farmers need more tools to find alternatives to drug production. if you want to go this mission assume for size how much the legal economy represents a challenge for the consolidation of peace in colombia these tragic events reinforced our conviction that it's necessary to give cocoa farmers in the affected regions all the means to scape the terrible choices between extreme poverty and the

illegality cocaine production in colombia has reached the highest level in decades last year eight hundred sixty six tons were produced the coca plant is cultivated on about one hundred eighty thousand hectares across colombia and the government wants to manually eradicate one hundred thousand hectares this year how do they do it they plan to destroy half of it and then sign substitution agreements with farmers for that other half so we'll continue to follow this story if you're in colombia and have thoughts to share to get in touch with us you can use the hash tag it is good andrew thanks let's just take a look again at the multi viewer and once again the we'll take you to kiev there as the turkish president is there and he's on an official trip to ukraine to sign various agreements there he is standing alongside the ukrainian president petro poroshenko now we're watching to see if he says anything about the u.s. diplomatic standoff if he does we'll take you straight there for now it's a murder joining us once again from london that's right terry

and more news now with developments in spain the deputy prime minister warning that the central government will act on any declaration of independence by cason regional authorities catalans president is due to address the regional parliament on cheese day and the government is why it will vote to unilaterally declare independence from it says it would not recognize catalonia and the region's high court has asked the spanish national police to provide extra security at the court building in case the declaration guys ahead. you know yes but you know if the country on president declares unilateral independence we will have to take measures and that decision will be made by the government of spain who tried to have a place groups join us but as i'm saying that declaration will have a response. well the vast majority of spaniards outside of catalonia are bitterly opposed to it declaring independence many say the claim by some catalan nationalists that they were the only ones who suffered under franco's thirty six year dictatorship ignores history aren't seen reports from central spain.

across the her own a river valley you can see madrid away in the distance. the people here maintain the relics of war in tribute to the vicious history of spain. eighty years ago the forces of fascism try to encircle madrid the battle of her armor is legendary this incline was called suicide hill by the anti fascist brigades twenty thousand died stopping franco from taking the capital. basis was eleven in nine hundred thirty seven at ninety one his memory is undimmed me mother your number there more korean dog lover my mother and i run to our house looking for shelter we thought it was the end of the world we heard the explosions they made a great impression on me i understood then that we were at war. carol short of the local museum you can see how outgunned the empty fascists were faced with the aircraft and tanks at franco's disposal these men and women came from

across spain and far beyond here to protect york from fascism only two years before the outbreak of world war two. and then i think if we're going to go after that madrid was called the heroic city they fought tooth and nail if madrid fell the next poets agree franco would have won the war sooner they want to talk all about this here because it's so important not only for historians what happened here eighty years ago plays directly into the sense of outrage that many spanish people have about what's happening in catalonia right now the catalans they say are using the campaign for independence as a historical crutch to cover up their own sense of entitlement and victim hood the sense that the cats lands were the only people who suffered under franco when actually much of the rest of spain did too. in the nearby town which is nothing like as rich as much of modern catalonia the spanish flags are out in force large parts of spain suffered starvation after the war they willed it at the claims of

the council and leadership for special sympathy. look you up in april but here we are sad and worried we can't repeat history during the civil war the town square was washed in blood it wasn't only one region that was suffering history can be read in more than one way. the legacy of franco is used in catalonia for a new sort of nationalism here it is the age of new european divisions they see it as a reason for unity. zero in the form of ali. a court in sarajevo quoted a bosnian commander of war crimes now another minute tree veteran were found not guilty of crimes against three serb prisoners of war who were murdered in one thousand nine hundred two in srebrenica the ruling group of celebration and condemnation in bosnia families of both killed in the war walked out of the hearing in protest but many bosnian muslims regard r.h. as a hero for leading the defensive. the war as mina calls has more from sorry the former

commander of wars in amin said and it's an i said auditor is not guilty of killing three captive serbs soldiers in one thousand nine hundred two this is the first instance verdict of delivered by the bosnian state court in sarajevo it is possible to appeal on the subject in june two thousand and six thought it was sentenced by the court in hague two years in prison for failing to prevent the murder and inhumane treatment of serb prison as 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 dismissed 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 blows the ecstasy or reach as a hero for his role in defending civil and it said before the mess occurred in one thousand nine hundred five but many bosnian serbs see him as

a man responsible for killing soldiers who surrenders to a boy in an army unit under his command. an investigation is underway in russia into the cause of a massive fire to a building on the outskirts of the capital moscow three thousand shoppers at to be evacuated from the syndicate trade center on sunday evening firefighters you specially equipped helicopters to dump water on the market there are no reports of casualties these are investigating reports the fire started when a number of cars exploded in an underground carriage. and the final nobel prize winner of twenty seventeen has been announced with u.s. academic richard thaler winning the award for economics taylor is a professor of behavioral science at university of chicago he's being rewarded for his work on how human nature can distort rational markets fail wins one point one million dollars in prize money and says he'll spend it as irrationally as possible . good for him well coming out from london in about twenty minutes time now back to

see you then thank you well the u.s. president donald trump has laid out the hard line immigration policies that he wants congress to approve in exchange for extending protections for young undocumented migrants so commonly referred to as dreamers most were brought to the united states illegally as children by their parents they'd been given a reprieve from deportation under a program introduced by the former president barack obama at the time now trump ended that program last month so in order to give them some form of protection again the white house has issued a list of proposals that it wants approved and these include funding for trump's mexico border wall faster deportations and thousands more immigration officers let's speak to william stark he's an immigration lawyer he's also the former president of american immigration lawyers association joining us from philadelphia good to have you with us on the newsgroup so how tough a sell are many of these policies going to be for democrats. i think this is

a extraordinarily difficult sell for those who are looking for any kind of reasonable solution for the dream or children how hard will the white house though push for this less than trump unself i mean is it clear whether trump is viewing these the man's as absolute requirements or in singapore to them out there is a sort of the beginning of negotiations i'm not sure that we can read anything into this as being coming particularly from the mind of donald trump where this clearly comes from his allies the anti immigration and restrictionist movement who are in policymaking positions within the white house so this has been their goal since the time of the election they kept the chatter they glom down to. candidacy and they really have shaped his immigration politics much more than policy so what does this all mean then for the nearly eight hundred thousand dreamers after the trumpet

ministration decided to end the deferred action for childhood arrivals i mean their permits begin expiring next march absolutely and this proposal shows that at the moment the administration is not interested in seriously negotiating about a solution for the dreamers the dreamers are seven percent of the undocumented population in the united states and you know the restriction the entitlement ration folks who wrote this proposal want one hundred ten percent of the kind of enforcement provisions that are in their wish list so it's just not a reasonable negotiating position ok so you know it's i guess the million dollar question but i got to ask you how do you see this then playing out what happens going forward. i think as we've seen with so many. proposals for changes whether it be revoking obamacare or whether it be some sort of a tax deal unfortunately this presidency is coming to

a crashing reality check for the hardline demands that it be during campaigns and how different that is from what i can actually done in the legislature so hopefully reasonable minds will use this opportunity to provide a solution for these young people they i think feel very ill used by all of this discussion that their lives should be traded for some broader policy agenda that art ministration all right william thought we thank you for speaking to us on news grid thank you for having what we have an interesting film by the faultlines team on our website that's where josh rushing explores what it means to be undocumented in the u.s. so he speaks to families caught up in the middle and communities determined to fight back the films from may but very much relevant today have a look for yourself by clicking on fault lines under the documentary section that's on al-jazeera dot com well speaking of emigration deals angela merkel has

proposed a cap on germany's refugee intake in an attempt to unite her coalition partners following last month's election they'd chancellor agreed to limit the number of new arrivals to two hundred thousand a year it appears to be a concession to merkel's very and coalition partner which has been one of the strongest critics of her refugee policies michel's the session and twenty fifteen to welcome almost a million refugees has fueled the rise of the right wing alternative for germany party. countries across latin america and elsewhere in the world have been marking fifty years since check of our as death and so unsurprisingly given his divisive legacy there is quite a bit of controversy about how the anniversary is being honored is regarded as an icon of the left for his role in the cuban revolution of one nine hundred fifty nine fighting alongside fidel castro he was executed after being captured in

bolivia that's where he helped lead an uprising modeled after cuba as ireland has issued a postage stamp featuring a virus image which has been criticized by prominent cuban american know scott perez she says he's a mass murderer whose image doesn't belong to anyone well jim fitzpatrick is the iris artist who had painted the famous image that's on that stamp you just saw as well as on t. shirts posters and walls all over the world that he says the outrage always comes from the same sorts of people 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 stood up for black americans and the black panthers and people like that and the civil rights movement in the u.n. where he made a very impassioned speech about flexible rights and it's all nonsense must murder more people die in american roles in

a month and the cuban revolution in ireland we had a bloody revolution in one thousand sixteen to nineteen twenty one and our government executed seventy seven rebels in a very short period so. civil wars and revolutions are messy i'm an irish catholic and i'm a possible stand an activist i am a follower of leonardo buff and liberation theology and to me she was a martyr because of sutton's bomb and be in the manager of the central bank of cuba which you laws the governor and done nothing and collected a huge pension like many of our politicians do in our league despite bankrupting the country instead he gave his life for dispossessed showed to me was on the greatest men who's ever lived i have never regretted doing that image because i've read so much about him jon 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 it's so easy to go through three if you

should is just laughable you know but let me say one thing very quickly i'm also launching a reclaim chez campaign to stop the commercialization of that image it annoys me it's been used to cigarette packs in germany and italy and france i detest that kind of stuff t. shirts don't bother me well look now what's off the grate and soap maker a dove has been getting a lot of heat over a facebook ad that's being described as racist and is back to tell us what happened under. well a social media campaign for dove has turned into a public relations disaster for its parent company you know lever after it posted this three second clip on facebook as you can see it shows a black woman removing her top to reveal a white woman and then an asian woman now dove says this video was intended to convey a message that its products are for every woman but the problem for many people here is that there's a long history of racist advertisements in america going back to the nineteenth

century so tarik has one of the most popular posts on this particular controversy where he says dove knew exactly what it was doing so companies used to use this racist theme all the time now few years ago dove faced criticism back in twenty eleven for this body wash ad which as you can see shows three women with a range of skin tones with a black woman under before and a white woman under after enough you look closer you can tell that the before panel has drier skin but that wasn't obvious to many people and keith boykin tweeted both of these images to his followers saying one racist ad makes you suspect to racist ads makes you kind of guilty intentional or not the dove that is not as blatantly offensive as this ad for a chinese laundry detergent last year but that's not stopping many people of color from drawing comparisons and bringing up the numerous studies that show how advertising can have a profound effect on an individual's self image now this user says it's not even

subliminal messaging that dark skin is bad and unwanted light skin is good and preferred thousands of people have replied to the company's apology their apologetic tweet sharing similar lessons similar messages this user here points out that the company still sells nourishing lotion for quote normal to dark skin jonah lisa tweeted that she's done with dove forever you know never makes a lot of money off the idea that fair skin is lovely in this region in the middle east across asia. in africa the same company universe sells fair and lovely which is intended to lighten skin color more than four hundred million dollars worth of skin whitening products is sold each year in india alone so let us know what you think about this you can get in touch with me directly i'm at in order to use the hash tag. all right andrew thank you well peter is here he is up next with all your sports as in just a moment and it was that i political stunt the u.s. vice president accused after walking out of an n.f.l.

always a huge online storm in the united states over the past twenty four always involving the u.s. vice president mike pence and the are you surprised he walked out of a game on sunday in a move that a lot of people in social media according a political stunt home and reports. the united states vice president had specifically traveled from las vegas to indianapolis to see the colts n.f.l. game against the san francisco forty nine er's mike pence is said to be a lifelong colts fan and even tweeted beforehand saying looking forward to cheering for our colts but that photo he used had also been tweeted in twenty four tane. as the national anthem played before the game a hatful of forty nine his players elected to neil since you like to to leave almost immediately tweeting and issuing a statement saying i left today's cults game because partisan i will not dignify

any event the disrespects our soldiers our flag or our national anthem us president donald trump also tweeted saying hey told pence to do it again with information having twenty three your photo and so and so he can prove that he's been an avid colt fan of the gods ever games on a regular basis this is a blog is this is really disheartening when everything that you were raised and everything i was raised on was to be the best person i can be to help people in need help and the vice president of the united states is trying to confuse the message that we're trying to try to put out there. the way some n.f.l. players have been choosing to kneel during the national anthem for more than a year as a symbol of protest against racial injustice in the united states but a few role erupted last month after trump said that players who engage in the practice should be sacked when you love to see one of these n.f.l. owners when somebody disrespects our flag this is a get that son of

reporter jason la canfora was forced to confirm that in fact standing for anthem wasn't something that i spoke to collin about i relayed what had been reported about him standing in the future here's how common captain himself responded a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on that one attributed to winston s. churchill but as an added twist a lot of scholars say churchill the former british prime minister never in fact saved so our leave you to make of that what you will you can get in touch with me directly on twitter at he's an underscore statement or the hash tag is a.j. news good the other story that's been hard to miss on social media even harder i suspect if you're anywhere in egypt they football team is off to a fee for world cup for the first time since one thousand nine hundred ninety we saw mesilla versions by egyptians across the globe plenty on the roads here in doha as well i can assure you of that these were some of the most shade videos online
