this is al-jazeera. iran you're watching al-jazeera live from a headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes almost sixty thousand hondurans lose their rights to remain in the u.s. after living that the two decades. president donald trump says the venue has been chosen for his son as well as north korea's a decade. that he still keeps the world guessing as to where plus. one hundred. lives were lost during the weeks of the week. and how why most act. a volcano

erupts with residents fleeing to safety as fresh as quakes are reported to. be up to fifty seven thousand honduran immigrants living in the united states could be facing deportation offer a change in the law the trumpet ministrations says that is ending what's known as a temporary protection status for hondurans it was granted in one thousand nine hundred nine after hurricane mitch devastated the central american nation those affected will have until january twenty twenty to either leave the u.s. or apply for visas if they qualify hondurans just the latest to have the temporary status residency scrapped there among about four hundred thirty thousand people who have traveled to the u.s. under the program escaping violence and natural disasters close to two hundred

thousand salvadorians must leave by september next year while forty six thousand haitians and almost nine thousand polys are also facing deportation by june twenty ninth team but just over seven thousand people from syria somalia and yemen and also some from south sudan are still have having the right there to get their temporary rights to remain in the united states. the trump has addressed the national rifle association is annual conference in dallas giving a wide ranging speech attacking his critics and defending his policies that he reasserted his gun rights and once again made the case for arming teachers the speech comes as the gun lobby faces intense criticism following a spate of shootings also criticize europe strict gun laws saying the outcome of the twenty fifteen paris attacks would have been different if people had been armed

they took their tongue and gun them down one morning. come over here won't come over here oh if you were. in those rooms. one of those people. and this is one of those. you just went through. what if you want to employ. we're just want to take you had a gun. or if one person in this room had been there with a gun aimed at the opposite direction. deter is would have fled or been shot and it would have been a whole different story. writer go. tell us president trump says that a data location has been set for his meeting with north korea's leader kim jong un

this month but he's keeping the world guessing as to where trump has previously suggested that the meeting could take place in the demilitarized zone where can and north korea and south korea see the moon j n held the historic summit last week singapore is also another option trump will host moon at the white house say to this month to discuss the meeting with kim. we're having very substantive talks with north korea and a lot of things have already happened with respect to the hostages and i think you're going to see very good things as i said yesterday state i think you're going to be seeing very very good thing. and also the trip is being scheduled we now have a date and we have a location will be announcing it. well north and south korea moving ahead with another display all the units this time with a time zones the clocks in north korea will now be set forward by hof analysis to

realign them with seoul time it's a reversal of the decision made by pyongyang and twenty fifteen kathy novak expands . these flowers in the center of seoul are symbolic of the renewed hope that many people here are feeling about this country's relationship with north korea the display depicts a map of a unified korea before this peninsula was divided into two countries korea was a japanese colony the legacy of that period is still a strain on japan's relationship with both koreas there's a reminder of that right here the former city hall was built during the time of japanese occupation so in two thousand and twelve the city government opened the new modern building behind it three years ago north korea made its own symbolic statement it set its clocks back by half an hour saying that pyongyang time would replace tokyo time which was imposed by what it called wicked japanese imperialists

as a result pyongyang no longer shared a time zone with seoul either. one north korean leader kim jong un stepped over the border and thirty minutes ahead in time a week ago state media says he felt it was painful to see two clocks on the wall of the summit venue indicating pyongyang and seoul times so he decided to realign the time zones as the first practical step for national reconciliation and unity. approved the koreas are to unify in the future the standard time should unify first is what you need this is just the beginning step by step maybe not in our generation but in the next year we will have unification south korea welcome to the move saying it represents a decision to remove the obstacles in the path to enter korean and the us north korean exchanges and cooperation that are to come. let's go back now to our top story and the decision to remove the protected status of almost sixty thousand

people from hunt juris and to gallegos live for us in washington d.c. hi andy so let's break down for us what is really the significance of this move by the top of ministration. well let's first talk about temporary protected status this is a humanitarian program that was put in place in one thousand nine hundred ninety it's designed to offer a home on offer safety to people whose countries have been hit by civil war or natural disasters that's the case for hondurans in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine hurricane mitch hit on jurors killed ten thousand people displaced more than a million more and they've essentially been living under the t.p.s. program in the united states for decades now fifty seven thousand people will be affected by this but essentially what the trumpet ministration is doing is affectively slowly winding down the temporary protected status for almost four hundred thousand people most of the people under this program off from el salvador honduras and haiti and they will be adversely affected by this humanitarian groups

say this is heartless because these people have been here for decades they've started their own businesses amongst those perfected from one jurist they've had five thousand children who were born in the u.s. are u.s. citizens in the time they've been living under that program now past presidents have always chosen to extend t.p.s. for various different people from countries who needed help the trumpet administration is doing something entirely different humanitarian groups say it is simply heartless so what are these rights groups is anybody speaking out and then to try and challenge this made. well the people from on jurors have been given eighteen months they have to leave by january twenty twenty and various political figures including some republicans are saying look you can't do this you have to extend this but it seems like the trumpet ministration doesn't want to go down that road out of the six out of the ten countries under the t.p.s. program are essentially being wound down so over the next two years ninety eight

percent of those people that were protected by the t.p.s. program will be forced to leave the united states and as i said before many of these people and i've met them in places like miami where there's a large community of haitians and a large community of hundreds of set up their own businesses they work legally the business leaders say the country will lose billions of dollars because these are legal workers that carry out a crucial role so you've got the business community saying this is wrong this is a wrong move to make a humanitarian group saying look if these people only been here for two or three years and their countries were actually stable and safe to go back to that would be one thing but in some cases some people living out of the t.p.s. program or been in the united states for more than twenty years ok and to kalak a life for us in d.c. thank you so much. now president trump says that his lawyer needs to get his facts straight of a comments made about a contentious payments to an adult film actress and interview was rudy giuliani

trump he revealed that trump reem best his lawyer for a payments made to stormy daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair trump previously denied any knowledge all of this hush money. to. charity yes. you'll get a tax break if you're great for what he does the bird. coming up on the news are about to step up action as hundreds more palestinian protests enjoy it as they got applause at the pocket of course of border excuse me with israel's. knowledge and tina's government takes drastic action with huge interest rate rises to avoid another economic crisis. and scores against the backdrop of controversy one of the cycling grand tolls stopped outside of europe

for the first time. for aid workers in kenya say that they've reached only a quarter of nearly fifty thousand families in need of shelter off the weeks of torrential rain the red cross says it's struggling to find enough funding for its emergency operations anderson as has traveled with one of the relief teams along the tunnel. it looks like a vast lake this is the river it's consumed villages. it's going to be my mom. but again as you can see. we change cool so way from the river going deep into the book. the mango trees full of fruit oh hardy. the birds make good out of most

situations. because any illusion of normality is lost when you look through the clearing. was a seasonal stream has turned into this. the forces of nature on the water line that still rising. on the shoreline ahead people who have walked for hours from higher land they've waited days for help to arrive no cheers no shouts no pushing but the need here is deep seated it's not everywhere in the world where you'd find people so calm in a situation like this when they've been marooned for several days with absolutely nothing coming in until now but there are pockets of anger. in the city and i know that the. settlers are hearing that i have been here for three days waiting for the help i haven't received anything. and wheat in it i need it now. he has

all the right saying but again i can also help way come. across we've done what we can for now and we are asking more people to come and help us so that we can reach more people. and even some of those getting their rations of food anough aid to give them basic shelter feel it's not enough this mother of eight is setting out on a two hour walk back to where she's living rough her home has been lost along with her life stuck on so much that it was on i did i was on the i'm scared about my children the hungry they're exposed to the rains and because of that we're likely to fall sick. for those left behind you can see it from their expressions they need help now along with so many of those in even more remote places than this andrew simmons al-jazeera in kenya is tena river county let's go back to another story that we've been following which is the forthcoming summit between the u.s.

and north korean leaders christopher hill is a chief adviser to the chancellor of. engagement at the university of denver he also served as u.s. ambassador to the republic of korea and head of the u.s. delegation at the six party talks on the north korean nuclear issue mr hill thank you very much for being with us live from denver so in those a bit like they've said this you know in that time an ideal place but do we have any idea when this will likely happen and also why with this particular location be so important well i think first of all we're not sure what it will happen but i suspect be consistent with the early early. late may times very well we'll have to regress were at least five shows and obviously the president and president trump is a lot to meet well i think there are some five years which way this will go but normally for a summit you want to have your next unitary through and i don't see any signs that

there has been. perhaps it is just yet war. now in regards to the talk around the three u.s. hostages that will likely be released. you know many are talking about whether this is really about modus operandi for north korea as a bargaining chip what would the u.s. have to do in response if these individuals were to be released. i don't think the u.s. would have to do anything in response i think the fact the president droppers going to meet the north korean leader the first time any north korean leader as mad american sitting president this is a huge step forward for the north koreans and kim jong un is probably keeping score with his you seized father his deceased grandfather and sees that he's done something that neither of them could do so as to the issue of least signees these

individuals this is often accomplished by sending a senior level american and sit with the doors koreans and then receive people who frankly speaking have been held up held against their will of north korea but this is the first time that this was done in anticipation of a presidential walks needed but he said dad i would wait till the people are are actually released ok now what would president trump have to do differently and what do you think he would have to bring to the table which would be an alternative method in comparison to efforts that have made in the past. well i think the first thing out they need to do is understand whether the north koreans are ready to give up their nuclear program there have been some hints that john hunt is prepared to discuss giving up the nuclear program but that is not very specific up the efforts that we had during the george w.

bush administration were to try to work on a step by step basis quietly however the talks broke down because north korea would not give them verification regime that could pass any kind of international standard so from what i can tell there were either getting to the point of verifying for example that north korea is no longer produce include tonio or producing the solid material and what i can see they haven't gotten close to that so there needs to be an agreement on the steps baltimore example international inspectors these kinds of of issues and so a lot of work to do and it's unclear what they could really accomplish in the context of one meeting with respect to a process that could take several months even if that goes on and president did tweet around the idea of hosting this vicinity at the demilitarized zone what that signify if this was a happen. well i think the demilitarized zone it makes it easy for the

north korean leader to get there frankly it's pretty easy for the u.s. president to get there so makes a lot of sense but i would not focus too much on the venue i would focus on the fact that this is the first time you have a u.s. president meeting a north korean leader and the question is do they really know what they're going to talk about much less do they know what they're going to rio normally you know high stakes summit like this you have a pretty clear understanding before the summit begins as to what the outcome is so for if there is such an understanding we're not privy to it now just very quickly there were some reports from the pentagon that the pet that the pentagon was looking to draw down troops in south korea this has not been confirmed by the white house but what would be the repercussions if this was to happen. well first of all the reported to katie but this was in response to some his shoes cost cost of

stationing troops in south korea as opposed to cost of station troops in american state one texas well i think everyone will draw the conclusion that this is an effort by the u.s. to try to address what is perceived to be north korean requests as north korea requests to thin out for them for u.s. troops in south korea my i don't view is to be extremely cautious about this i would like to see the full picture of what north korea is looking for and i think it's very important that as we go forward in this process we should go forward very closely very close formation with the south koreans who are our ally and who are far more contrary on the korean peninsula so i hope it's not a sponsor or not in some kind of effort to please the north koreans because i don't

think there's any real sign that we know what the north koreans are are going to pass ok and ambassador had just one more thing what would be the next ok set if it's not the demilitarized zone where you think they wouldn't. i don't know my sense is that the north koreans don't want to fly their leader where i don't know if he has the same theatre of flying that is logger did assume he does there's a kind of finite number of places south korea itself that is china there may be another country in the region own goal again i it's interesting but i think far more interesting is the question of whether this could be a successful summit and i cannot see how it will be successful unless they pretty much know the outcome of the war it starts ok ambassador christopher hill thank you so much for your time. now at least three hundred

fifty people have been injured three of them critically in the latest protests at israel's border with gaza israeli forces fired live ammunition and take acid palestinians demonstrating near the fence high force that reports. six fridays now more than forty killed and over a thousand shot and wounded and still protesters face off against the israeli army at gaza's border fence. as last week there appeared to be some coordination ahead of time scores of young men and boys rolled tires to be burned at specific locations providing a smoke screen from israeli snipers. emerging from the smoke into gas a senior official of islamic jihad promising an escalation of these protests as they approach the fourteenth of may seventy years since israel declared statehood the day the us is moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem we see it clearly ok that the next days the next friday this is the we have a good message also from. the continue of them is that it should make those people

who was eating or the boys to see what. israel continues to accuse islamic jihad and especially hamas which controls gaza of using the protests as cover for what it calls terrorist activity proximately seven thousand palestinians participated in these riots we had several attempts to cross the technical fence and to throw molotov cocktails and other terrorist devices against israeli troops. here comes more tear gas there's been a lot of tires being burned just behind which people have been gathering some are being using slingshots to throw stones and here comes the tear gas in response from the israeli side. as people marched at a second location south of the main protest site the tear gas volleys intensified. as did the sound of live ammunition billon says departing with greater frequency. the protesters have seen this for weeks now dozens dead and hundreds injured even

the wounded keep coming back and a bed was shot in both legs during the first demonstration on the thirtieth of march. i'm ready to go back to the israeli border to tell the world that this is our right and that we should get our land returned to us as soon as i recover i'll join the protest again. the head of gaza's mental health committee says the deadly sniper fire is so far having little the terror and effect would that increase the anger among people or would that make them more scared you know and more scared of what the most scary thing that people are scared off as their daily life conditions you know what he or she have to do. and live this moment come give them the right to speak in seven goes at the only car do crossing from israel protesters go into the gaza side of the city the israeli military said they damaged pipelines that carry fuel and gas into the strip kind of student sources said the damage could run into the millions of dollars and take weeks to repair the force that al-jazeera.

now why is the big island has been struck by another series of earthquakes a volcanic eruption has forced thousands of people to leave their homes with lava flows threatening west actual areas and the hayward reports. in the heart of a residential area in hawaii molten lava pools down the road burning through woodland and sending smoke ashen rocks into the sky. killer way to deaf to several quakes were felt on hawaii. and hundreds of people living close by and now being told they have no choice they must leave their homes since it's right here behind us we could hear the. exploding. right from the house and so you know you're going to still be there when we go back over to. the emergency services are now involved in

a major incident trying to assess the scale of the eruption on the ground and in the air and how best to help those who live in its path the roads are being blocked told to keep people out of the most dangerous areas is a crack right there the road rage right here. because let's talk. so. they will one street over from a. kill where has been erupting continuously for more than thirty years but there's been more activity in recent days. it's. about fifteen kilometers away from where it had been in for roughly two or three days or a high frequency of earthquakes it's not known how long this current eruption will last hawaii's governor is urging people to stay safe and. emma heywood.

joining us from honolulu is catherine can i throw up and professor of geochemistry and vulcanology at the university all how can i thank you very much indeed for being with us so clearly you are an experts and was currently happening in hawaii just explain to us how big of a risk this particular volcano is. well the volcano as your report mentioned has been to nuclear up thing since the early eighty's in discontinuous li for most of the last couple hundred years the best information we have about the potential scope of this current new phase of activity are two russians that happened one in one hundred fifty five and one in one hundred sixty just a couple of kilometers from this site one of those are options lasted a month another one lasted three months they covered extensive amounts of ground with new law you can see them now if you open up something like google earth and go

to satellite view numerous homes or lost other sorts of infrastructure such as roadways were also inundated we do not know if this eruption will last that long or not as a morning we know that there are five different what we call fissures these are long linear cracks that are arriving they've opened up so far mostly the lava has to be very close to the fissures there's been what we call fountain which is where lava molten lava batters up into the atmosphere and then goes up maybe twenty five or thirty meters and then it lands back on the ground and so far the lava flows moving away from the fissures have been relatively short meaning less than one hundred meters this obviously can change any times a very fluid situation and it's very important to keep monitoring it and that is what's being done now what do you make consensus among men.

so there are several kinds of concerns that we have when activity he interacts with populated human area there were course all sorts of risks and hazards to people sometimes are not aware of the risks. in lava flows tend to move relatively slowly on fairly flat ground such as in this area so people can almost walk as fast as they flow and sometimes gives them a misconception that it's safe to stay in the area it isn't things can change on the ground very quickly as lava flow forms flows over that asian for instance we can get various kinds of explosions including methane explosions a come out of the ground one lava interacts with things like roads asphalt burning in the very noxious gases on top of all of that. the sulfur dioxide that is

being invaded by the volcano that's a respiratory irritant in high concentrations we have to be having a fairly low windy day today so dispersal of that plume isn't great but that doesn't mean it is very concentrated in the areas close to the vents or it's coming out you can see it as a bluish smoke but it can be quite harmful to people if they breathe enough. catherine thank you so much for your analysis and your expertise on the topic we appreciate it thank you. now argentina has so currency has rebounded after the government raised interest rates to counter a plunge and its value the drastic measures have been taken to try to prevent another economic crisis and china reports now from what i size. these are nervous times in argentina so government ministers were quick to reassure markets and carmen anxious population their economic policies are on track they said there's

nothing to worry about. the economy in the context of a growing economy and with rising employment and less poverty we have an argentina that will keep growing for many years to come but we have never seen such a big drop in public spending. but soothing words are not enough and the argentine central bank took the drastic step of raising its keep borrowing rate to forty percent the third rise in a week it's to boost the bass all this this year has lost fifteen percent of its value against the u.s. dollar that creates inflation which the country has suffered plenty of in recent years this is nothing new in argentina but that doesn't make the forex of an economic crisis any easier to bear with everybody nervously watching the interest in currency exchange rates knowing that the impact of any economic meltdown is brutal. many are still traumatized by the economic crisis of two thousand and one two thousand and two when argentina defaulted on sovereign debts of ninety three

billion dollars savers were refused access to their own bank accounts a millions were plunged into poverty. some fear it's coming again others believe it can't happen again. don't know where walking on the brink that's what it seems like to me. in two thousand and one the economy was televised and all the pundits had to be tuned in dollars but it's not like that now the banks have pieces and won't have the same problems. when the president came to power two and a half years ago he promised to make argentina what he called a normal country after years of economic turmoil it's still not clear how close argentina are is to achieving normality we have to follow the next days and weeks how this very high interest rates will affect. not only the massive efforts market which probably will give some breather but also how the economy would respond to

that consumption investments and so forth as it is very difficult to maintain such high interest rates for long term. inflation is still high and investment is lower than many expected to continue his hoping praying that the president's promise is still on track. when osiris. live now from miami is my own he's an economist and former governor of the argentinean central bank thank you sir for being with al-jazeera so i guess my first question to you is it was this the right move by the central bank. and you have me. here to mohamed from al jazeera. is i was there my first question to you was was this you know why to move by the central bank the. yes.

you are very good with. the center of. the object is only one of these is the interest rate in this equation that was created. later in a single the there was a right move to reiterate an order. is for the nominative that's. correct. yeah there's a lot of articles right now talking about how much shifting from the pastor to the dollar is four is going to affect a lot of the ordinary people they won't be able to afford basic necessities because things will just be far too expensive but then it works for the investors so what does this now mean for argentina's economy. well you know

the there is an economy has been going through a number of crisis and. is now in the process or. in the process of storing. it of course of this is costly process you know. the increase in interest rates can year to shoot in america and the cost of the war of course. increases in the amount of the inner city there's an old interplay to that. process. and they were necessary to take drastic action or cool down the market to. really see to know this intervent not really. the only change to run already. so they seem to. measure nitrogen in. the unity east not a measure of the he said expected in terms of the temporary market.

the main issue here is to meet me getting married to the. ok i thank you very much sir for your time and your analysis. from miami coming up on al-jazeera so they can mark what's happening for the two hundredth anniversary of the bet a philosopher call marks. and then sports find out if careers you're going to fight table tennis team can make it through the twelve championship final. hello it's still hot on the eastern seaboard of the u.s. not quite the thirty degrees in new york was a cloud is increased to some degree but it's not making that many inroads and

there's a lot of surfers you've got thirty three is a forecast for washington and twenty seven you know we're not so sure forecasts this is friday come saturday or find a little bit of movement in that frontal system so that data twenty two new york cloudy twenty two is where the rain is like to be occasionally thundery think probably no more than that because the temperatures outside aren't that dramatic anymore but you got it going through the appalachians and down towards probably louisiana which gives you texas oklahoma kansas in the sunshine some woman chicago at twenty four degrees the day after it's all moved in this general directions cool down a little bit not us standing at least are we have to say and all this time in the pacific coast it's just been quiet very sunny not showers in the northern rockies that's about your lot so all the action is for the south the atlantic coast and i've been watching this circulation here this cloud may well turn into something a bit more than just the circulation the showers not sure but as more chance anyway the forecast what if it chooses to do is for widespread showers in cuba jamaica the

bahamas and probably haiti and this is probably for the next two days. citizens unable to vote on represented in washington members of congress do nothing about a slate of part of the constituents in their responsibility and that is what's underneath this crisis phone lines visit to the island devastated by hurricane maria and demanding the support of the u.s. government more than we can tell you but it isn't in the bill because the responsibility and the budget therefore get. shelter after the storm on al-jazeera when the news breaks. on the mainland city and the story bill needs to be forced to leave it would piss me off when people need to be heard to women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to

bring you the winning documentaries and. i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism on air and online. and you're watching al-jazeera the mind of our top stories this hour immigrant rights groups are protesting against a new law which could see fifty seven thousand journos expelled from the united states the tribe of ministration says it's ending temporary protection granted off to hark a mitch in one nine hundred ninety nine the honduras government says it's keeping them at the decision. the u.s.

president says the date and location have been set for his meeting with north korea's leader kim jong un but has kept the world guessing as to where trump a host south korea's president when jay. at the white house on may twenty second to discuss the meeting with camp. and aid workers in kenya say they have reached only a quarter of the nearly fifty thousand families in need of shelter after weeks of torrential rain the red cross says it didn't have enough money to fund its emergency operations. but the u.s. president has spoken at the national rifle association annual conference in dallas attacking his critics and defending his policies that will trump and gun rights and once again made the case for arming teachers reports. it was a study in contradiction as donald trump proclaimed on stage that the us would be a safer place with more guns the secret service banned the audience from carrying

firearms to ensure the president's safety your second amendment rights are under siege but they will never ever. be under siege as long as i'm your president the national gun debate has been at a fervor pitch says a gunman killed seventeen people at a high school in parklane florida in february student survivors of that shooting at a protest of hundreds of thousands in washington d.c. in march to demand a change to gun laws to stop the violence and for a time it appeared the president was listening what i'd really love to hear is the child that spoke the day after the portland shooting in that cabinet room and he said he was bored spitted background checks and raising the age of purchase and just saying hey guys there is something we can do we have to do it i'm going to show leadership we can't be afraid to be entering we're going to do it order but

trump quickly backpedaled after meeting with n.r.a. leaders is only action since he has been to moderately sure a background checks and push to arm teachers the n.r.a. contributed close to thirty million dollars to trump's campaign its members are among the president's strongest supporters you asked me how he was doing in order to second a member of a theory with recent polls show a growing number of americans close to seventy percent support more gun control even as the n.r.a. is fund raising reached record highs following the parson forty four shooting some parents of children killed in that shooting are here to protest the gun lobby then they say the president's attendance and its failure to deliver on promises only deepen their pain. castro al-jazeera dallas. joining us now from new york is through palumbo he's a retired police officer he's also a founder of elite intelligence and protection group thank you very much indeed

seth being with us what do you make of what president tom had to say. i think he didn't have much choice because he's beholden to the n.r.a. there's no secret that they supported and helped facilitate his election and i do believe separate and apart from his tie to them he is a supporter of the second amendment a little known fact is that president trump before he was president trump actually had a weapon permit to carry concealed weapon in the state of new york in the city of new york so i'm not surprised by his remarks at all while you know off to the pok land shooting did say that he was going to get tougher on the n.r.a. and some more are hoping for him to take on a more compromising tone or even possibly change his position with the group now how does he work to appease those masses that we saw out in the streets protesting against tougher gun laws. well here's the basic problem in the country that most people seem to be very unaware of if you took the n.r.a.

out of the equation the united states of america is a heavily pro gun environment more than eighty percent of the states have constituents who vote who support firearms and support the second amendment i happen to support the second amendment i do realize that there are some flaws and that this is a time that we need to compromise on some issues but the bottom line is this every state especially through the southern united states and west of new york are pro-gun states and when their voters vote they support individuals that are pro-gun if their governors congressmen a senator of state or us vote in favor of gun legislation they will be voted out of office that's a simple truthful dynamic that applies here the problem is way beyond what this punch line n.r.a. is about the n.r.a. has approximately five million members they are funded across the universe by gun manufacturers ammunition manufacturers and everyone else that has an interest in

the viability of the gun industry but the problem is a little more how would you say convoluted than just the n.r.a. and their interfering it's way more than that the people in the united states are afraid of gun control because it has not been intelligently presented to them and exactly a format that would be productive namely preventing people who are mentally and emotionally ill from obtaining firearms we're in a bit of a divide as we are in most topics and this is no exception ok thank you so much for your time my pleasure. now a place in mexico says he say poor working conditions mean they're struggling to fight crime as violent such as in the capital offices have told al-jazeera they often have to buy their supplies including bullets from home and reports. corrupt inefficient and in some cases even in league with organized crime not surprisingly many mexican simply don't trust their police officers but there is

another side to the story a survey of almost five thousand policemen and women found that many especially at municipal level a badly paid and lack the basic equipment to do their jobs this office into quanah one of the most violent towns in the country told us they aren't supplied with enough bullets regularly have to buy their own. and it's not just alms elsewhere francisco escovedo had to retire of the damaging his spine push starting his police truck every morning he says he spent a year asking superiors for a new battery to implement and they were told me the same he says put up with it or buy one yourself ngo counselling commune who surveyed offices across the country found some police paying for uniforms car repairs and petrol all out of their own low salaries so if you could have police that badly trained and not paid the right amount what are the implications for society in general in mexico well if you get
