elections they fail he would almost certainly win. support for lula has also come from abroad from the left wing politicians in office across latin america what he led from two thousand and three to two thousand and. eight is an absurd trial that they have done to lula they have condemned him without any proof and the reality of what they're doing is outlawing the greatest political leader from being present. many in brazil celebrating what they see is justice being done but even the once mighty. i came here just so i could see close up when the. guilty for him or against him. being taken to prison is still one that will shake brazil. still ahead on. world war two.

2:21 pm
self-determination for the people of korean state most of which is controlled by the rebel group the government says it wants peace in the ethnic minority areas but in the remote villages of korean state rebel fighters aren't so sure. we worry about fighting are happening again at any moment so we have to keep our soldiers prepared how can we trust me and large government and military everyone in the world knows about them and even their own citizens can't trust them one of the main problems is that the government led by state council our own son suchi doesn't have control over its own military the army ran the country for almost fifty years and is still the most powerful body in me and mob the relationship between the civilian government and the military is not good a source connected to the army has told al jazeera that has to be resolved before peace talks with rebels can make progress so far the myanmar government has held two peace conferences with rebel groups there's also
2:22 pm
a so-called nationwide cease fire agreement in place so-called because there are still many groups that haven't signed that deal among those that have these guys the qur'an national liberation army and yet fighting continues as this footage shot by a korean fighter last month shows the cease fire agreement isn't holding. as always it's civilians who suffer the most with almost one hundred thousand refugees living in camps across the border in thailand. we want to go home but we don't dare because a ceasefire agreement hasn't brought peace we cannot trust the c.f.r. but in the meantime soldiers in rebel areas are holding their ground like they have for decades the most experienced fighters never believed the armed struggle would still be going on. we have fought against them for so many years so we know that myanmar will not give us a quality easily not only the karen but other ethnicities too so we have to fight

2:24 pm
a very long time in fact since the election campaign what is it well it is the policy of catching illegal immigrants as they come across the border undocumented migrants is another phrase that people use there held by border patrol or immigration officials their names are taken and then they're released until they get a date for their immigration hearing now donald trump has criticized this law in fact in a tweet just a couple of days ago he called it a dangerous liberal democratic war that he wanted to change and actually dates back to when george w. bush was in the white house but no donald trump has issued a memorandum to say there must be norm or catch and release now add that to the fact that the department of justice has sent out a memo on friday to see that they want a zero tolerance approach to illegal immigration law longer will people because of phone back across the border but they will face the full might of the american legal system for essentially breaking the law by crossing the border illegally and
2:25 pm
the fact that we know that the white house is sending a number of national guard troops to the border particularly because of this caravan that is heading through central america through mexico towards the border at the moment but generally to help with border security this is donald trump delivering on election promises to get tough on the border and get tough with the issue of illegal immigration. colombia has started to register all the as whalers have entered the country without talking that's helping with the same bishops project let us hope this will help the huge number of people who fled as well as economic crisis. the any reports from the border city of kolkata. catulus and his family have been living in colombia for three months illegally a lack of medicine and food for their to three year old daughter rosie left him no choice but to leave venezuela when they heard the colombian government was registering migrants in the country without the threat of death or taishan they
