oh is it allison where they're online we were in hurricane winds for almost like thirty six hours these are the things that new u.k. has to address or if you join us on sect. one but. it will a few this is a dialogue tweet us with hash tag eight a stream and one of your pitches might make them actually join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. i am today starting the process of terminating the diverse jury lottery program. donald trump announces plans to crack down on immigration in the wake of

the new york truck attack that left eight dead. nor in taters hours are live from london also coming up. at least twenty eight people are killed in rare protests in eritrea one of the most reclusive nations in the world. and of us three so bitter that even a satirical tea party marking one hundred years since the balfour declaration is too much for some palestinians to stomach. and we talk to victims of election violence in kenya killed dozens in small west rights groups say they used excessive force. and the u.s. president donald trump says he will shut down the visa program which are now the suspect in the new york truck attack to enter the country so for those type of came

to the u.s. what was back is time in twenty ten under the diversity visa lottery program better known as the green card lottery eight people were killed and eleven others injured when a pickup truck plowed into cyclists and pedestrians in manhattan. i am today starting the process of terminating the diversity lottery program. i am going to ask congress to immediately. initiate work to get rid of this program diverse array and diversity lottery diversity lottery sounds nice it's not nice it's not good it's not good it hasn't been good we've been against it but we can speak to our white house correspondent can really help it so swift move here from president trump what's the reaction been to it. well there's been a bit of amazement really that the president is using the attack in new york to

justify a need for a complete revamping of the immigration program in the united states is a stark contrast many believe to the reaction of george w. bush following the september eleventh attacks where he used that as an opportunity to try and unite americans to console many feel that president trump another republican president is doing just the exact opposite but in fact even dividing americans by suggesting that controversy or reforms be made so soon after the attack when many americans are grieving now the diversity visa programs long been contentious in the united states it allows as you point out those from countries who are don't typically immigrate to the united states to enter and have a pathway to citizenship but this president has pointed out is he believes a source of security risk in the united states he not only said this in the cabinet room he said it on twitter and then pointed to top democrats including chuck

schumer the top democratic senator in the u.s. senate as being the reason that this occurred even sort of essentially blaming chuck schumer for the attack that occurred in new york something that the senator pushed back on rather strongly on the floor of the senate accusing the president of not only didn't dividing the nation but also politicizing a tragedy and it's hard to not what else to try to say about it. well some of the other remarks the president made which are particularly controversial is not only that he has called this suspect an animal but that he has suggested that he should be sent to guantanamo bay prison in cuba and of course tom obey has long been controversy will it was suggested in fact under barack obama that it should be close something that donald trump on the campaign trail has promised to reverse of course is rel the reason this is controversial is that those that have been held there often for more than a decade have been held without charge so the point that the president is trying to

make is that he believes this person deserves that not to have sort of the the rights that american citizens are extended when they are accused of a crime and also the point he is making is that lotteries in his view let in the wrong people expected this is a point that will be echoed by sarah huckabee sounders when the white house briefing begins within the hour can be how could thank you very much indeed police say the suspect had been planning the attack for weeks and that he'd been studying instructions on how to carry out such attacks posted by our school on social media crews on to has the latest on the investigation. shortly after daybreak and crime investigators continue their search of the scene after the worst terrorist attack in new york city since the nine eleven world trade center attacks in two thousand and one while the investigation is still in its early phases authorities said on wednesday the suspect saifullah. a twenty nine year old from his back to stand who had been legally living in the u.s.
