horrible they're coming in from honduras they're coming in from other places they're taking this long trek up mexico. now the temporary protected status of fifty seven thousand on jurors living in the u.s. is set to wind. program was set up to offer refuge for those whose countries are ravaged by war and natural disasters many end of the program of legally lived and worked in the u.s. for decades democratic leader nancy pelosi released a statement that in part reads today's decision by the trumpet ministration to end temporary protected status is a cowardly assault on the fifty seven thousand on durance which will tear apart families and communities across america and the only ones affected six out of the ten countries offered protection are to lose their status moves to from one jurist el salvador and haiti it will wreck their lives it will it will destabilize their families it will separate their families because we are talking about people who
6:04 am
have been living here for an average of thirty years. they have deep roots in our communities critics say the trumpet ministration is all but running down a humanitarian program that began in one thousand nine hundred ninety on jordan's of being given an eighteen month extension but over the next two years almost four hundred thousand people who've been legally living in the u.s. for years will be told to leave and gallacher al-jazeera washington president trump will host south korea's leader moon july in later this month the white house made that announcement shortly after trump revealed that a date and location has now been set for his meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un trump previously suggested the meeting could take place in the demilitarized zone where kim and south korea's presidents one giant held their historic summit last week. we're having very substantive talks with north korea and
6:05 am
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. christopher hill is a former u.s. ambassador to south korea and lead the u.s. delegation at the six party talks on the north korean nuclear issue he says the location is just one of the many questions surrounding the summit. i would not focus too much of a 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 agree on normally in a high stakes summit like this you have a pretty clear understanding before the summit begins as to what the outcome is so far if there is such an understanding we're not privy to it the first thing they
6:06 am
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 that in their program but that is not very specific the efforts that we had during the george w. bush administration were to try to work on a step by step basis finally however the talks because north korea would not give the verification regime that capacity kind of international standards so from what i could tell there were near getting to the point of verifying for example that north korea is no longer producing so tony i'm producing the solid material now what i can see they haven't gotten close to that so there needs to be an agreement on the steps that baltar example international inspectors these kinds of of issues
6:07 am
and so a lot of work to do and it's unclear what they could really accomplish in the context of what mediate with respect to a process that could take several months even if that goes on meanwhile north and south korea are moving ahead with another display of unity this time with their time zone caulks in north korea will be set forward by half an hour to realign them with seoul time this reverses a decision made by congress and twenty fifteen kathy novak explains. 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
6:08 am
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 said 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. when 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. through a bumbling degree is that unifying the future the standard time should unify first is what you need to do this is just the beginning step by step maybe not in our
6:09 am
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 u.s. north korean exchanges and cooperation that are to come. the earth's fury is being felt across hawaii's big island after more earthquakes and volcanic eruption or than a thousand people have been forced to leave their homes as lava flows and so far a gas threaten residential areas i'm a hayward reports. in the heart of a residential area in hawaii molten lava pools down the road burning through woodland and sending smoke ash and rocks into the sky. killer way up 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

a global fashion chains want to use the examiner the human cost of the world's most polluted river on al-jazeera and this was different to say whether someone's going for someone's favorite that there's not a weeny tree i think it's how you approach an individual and not that it is a certain way of doing it you can just buy him into story and fly out. well again the top stories on al-jazeera rights groups are protesting against a new law which could see fifty seven thousand hondurans expelled from the u.s. the trumpet ministration says it's ending temporary protection granted after
6:17 am
hurricane mitch in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight hundred governments as a deeply lament the decision on the u.s. president has a date and location have been set for a meeting north korea's leader kim jong un but has not given any further details donald trump will host south korea's president at the white house on may twenty second to discuss those talks with him. aid workers in kenya say they've reached only a quarter of nearly fifty thousand families in need of shelter after weeks of tarantula rain the red cross says it doesn't have enough money to cover its emergency operations. argentina pays a currency has rebounded after the government hiked interest rates again to forty percent and that's to counter a plunge in its value the measures were taken to try to prevent another economic crisis as the reports from one of. these a nervous times in argentina so government ministers were quick to reassure markets
6:18 am
and carbon anxious population their economic policies are on track they said there's nothing to worry about. 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 see the. 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 base so that this year has lost fifteen percent of its value against the us 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 frets of an economic crisis any easier it's a bad that everybody nervously watching the interest in currency exchange rates knowing that the impact of any economic meltdown is brutal. many are still
6:19 am
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 he says that banks have been no where walking on the brink that's what it seems like to me. in two thousand and one the economy was dollar dies and all deposits had to be turned in dollars but it's not like that now the banks have pesos and won't have the same problems it has nothing to do only 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 will have to follow over the next days or weeks how this very high interest rates will affect. not only the massive
6:20 am
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 the dow ten thousand is hoping praying that the president's promise. it's still on track. to see it on one side it's well the u.s. president has once again rejected calls for tougher gun laws speaking at the nice national rifle association's annual conference in dallas texas donald trump defended his policies and even lashed out at europe's strict gun laws hijo castro reports. it was a study in contradiction as donald trump proclaimed on stage that the u.s. would be a safer place with more guns the secret service banned the audience from carrying
6:21 am
firearms to ensure the president's safety your second amendment rights are under siege but they will never ever be under see 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 donald trump that spoke the day after the parklane shooting in the 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.
6:22 am
leaders is only action since has been to moderately shore up 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 the second a member of the doing very well recent polls show a growing number of americans close to seventy percent support more gun control. all even as the n.r.a. is fund raising reached record highs following the part of florida school 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 they're paying. castro al-jazeera doubtless lou palumbo is a retired new york police officer he says the problem with gun violence in the u.s. is bigger than the n.r.a. . here's the basic problem in the country that most people seem to be very unaware
6:23 am
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 to 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 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
6:24 am
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. well a court in the u.k. has ruled human rights campaigners can go ahead with a case aimed at stopping british arms sales to saudi arabia the campaign against arms trade to british weapons are being used in violation of international law in the war in yemen britain has sold more than six billion dollars worth of arms to saudi arabia since its campaign began in yemen in two thousand and fifteen turkey's

the vote as the rift between them deepens lebanon is caught in the middle how so how about i reports from beirut. it's the last day of election campaigning opponents trade accusations and lebanon's main political parties why for a bigger say this is a country that is divided along sectarian lines prime minister saad hariri the most powerful sunni politician here has told his supporters that this election is about protecting against iran's growing influence. this election is a confrontation between two visions one that wants to protect its identity while the other aims to change its identity well beirut the house really accuses has been rival and hizbullah leader has some muscle a lot of controlling lebanon's decision making process see it in the arm and the
6:27 am
lebanese should listen to anyone who wants to drag the country into civil war. a saudi arabia and iran remain locked in a battle for regional influence people here are worried about their future. so hearing he has its men in lebanon and iran has its men in lebanon want the country will continue to be the battlefield for the struggle for now it's political unless it turns into a military confrontation. how do you has stepped up his campaign beirut is his strong while is eager to make war gains in the early and the south. in the regional influence paralyzes the government paralyzes political life lebanon had no president for two years and this was a result of regional disagreements one had the. in two thousand and sixteen saudi arabia and iran set aside their differences paving the way for the election of a new president and
6:28 am
a new government led by how do you but it's not clear if that deal would hold amid the growing tension between the regional rivals. this is a caution omen not only for lebanon but also for the two political heavyweights saudi arabia and iran both will ensure their local allies will consolidate their gains in the election. beirut. events are taking place around the world to mark the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of coral marx the philosopher and revolutionary socialist was born in germany and then went to the city where he was born for a look at how it's embarrassing marx's legacy. is everywhere in tree here his face is on posters his name is on street signs his image is even on the traffic lights tourists are flocking to the house where he was born and to coincide with the bicentenary three new exhibitions are opening here to examine marx's life and
6:29 am
his pioneering work in political theory and economics marxist this weekend and marx is such an important thinker because he connected an analyst society and a developing capitalist production in a way no one else did so intensively it is especially that connection at first significant even though it now seems self-evident and we can learn to do the same thing today for our circumstances because we live in complicated times translated into dozens of languages marx's communist manifesto change the world it inspired revolutions in china russia cambodia and cuba and profoundly influenced modern day social democrats across europe and beyond his prediction the communism would inevitably overthrow capitalism has since been proved wrong but marx is analysis of the unequal relationship between workers and capitalist bosses remains relevant to this day. germany has a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards marx but in three air he has embraced in
6:30 am
a way that the man himself may not have appreciated the bicentennial of the godfather of communism is actually turning into something of a capitalist bonanza for the town of tria here in the souvenir shops as a whole variety of car marks products on sale car marks books car marks clearings a money box a mug even a karl marx rubber duck and here look a column marked wine naturally it's a red wine. perhaps this image appropriation proves that his analysis was actually correct evidence that he would see his theories is being confirmed because he wrote that everything becomes good so much dyson capitola so now he self has become the dice marx's image is certainly iconic his profile instantly recognizable of marx's funeral friedrich engels eulogized his name will enjoy through the ages and so also will his work it certainly has paul brennan al-jazeera.
