a warning to the president elect in mexico if you don't come to an agreement quickly on nafta we the united states are going to have to change our approach that's awkward because the president elect of mexico isn't even inaugurated until december first so it's almost all he doesn't have any control over the pace of negotiations right now anyway so we're going to have to have to see how this plays out don't forget the united states has their own midterm elections in early november when the united states will be electing a new house of representatives and senate and for political purposes if the president feels the end in u.s. participation and then after we benefit him politically before those elections that's certainly a scenario and we have to remember again the president mexico wanting to be inaugurated until december first so this train may have already left the station by the time he's even in the presidential palace in mexico israeli army says at sundown a syrian fighter jets off flew into israel's aspace this video says the smoke

pompei o goes before senators on wednesday to try to explain what happened some experts say pompei or might have a hard time doing so but they don't know what trump talked about with putin in that meeting it was it was just the two of them and translators. and things are emerging every day that are clearly coming as a surprise even to some of tom's closest advisors like in fact it's been moscow that has revealed what trump and putin discussed behind closed doors the syrian civil war north korea's nuclear weapons program joint counter-terrorism operations in the middle east the crisis in eastern ukraine and crimea arms control treaties and the charges russia is undermining the u.s. political process but some analysts say despite their anger republicans won't put

as much pressure on pompei o as one might expect many of them are up for election in the mid-term elections it's more important for them to stay in power than to act on principle no matter what happens in the hearing there is a growing consensus on capitol hill that trump is permanently changing the u.s. is global authority changes that could take years to repair rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. turkey's parliament has approved a new security law to prevent future attacks on the country it will grant warthe already to governors extended tension periods and allow public servant dismissals has passed after a two year old state of emergency was lifted last week bill supporters say the law is needed to safeguard the country from followers of u.s. based cleric settler goodland who was behind a failed coup attempt at us while in university professors sparked a wave of solidarity on social media after tweeting a photo of his damaged shoes which he says he can't afford to mend even though jose

said riyadh breakeven oil price twenty eighteen is likely to be around eighty eight dollars a barrel why is argentina again turning to the i.m.f. for help now we bring you the stories that the economic world we live in counting the cost on al-jazeera. here in the stream now live on you tube it's the only country in the world that doesn't allow divorce in the philippines should couples be allowed to break the bonds of marriage we'll look at the ongoing debate. of last legislation is facing a difficult battle in the philippines where a largely roman catholic population remains divided over the legal all related to

break a marital contract a divorce bill still waiting to be addressed by the senate would expand the reasons for ending the marriage to include abuse and fidelity and irreconcilable differences listen to what the former speaker of the house who was just ousted on monday said on this issue this is principally on. with each other. it's a bad. bet remember. that. the philippines and vatican city are the only places in the world where divorce remains illegal so how would legalize divorce impact couples and families with us to discuss this in malegaon city lowenstein taro he is head of family ministries with the group couples for christ philippines in manila india as being of a rona

a journalist and women's rights advocate also manila. independent journalist whose work focuses on health and gender inequality she's also a single parent added divorce advocate it's good to have you here everybody and you gave us a lesson in what it is like for one person at least to go through that process of trying to end a marriage to me show everybody the piece in the atlantic is a couple years old right now but nothing has changed which is why we're all here has the title ending a marriage in the only country that bans divorce that marriage was your life i'm not going to go into the nitty gritty of what happened but the process the process is why some women and some advocates for divorce we are pushing for it in the philippines if you could explain what are the options your mileage is failing or failed in the philippines what choices do you have that. you can only file for

a legal separation which means that you can only like live apart so it doesn't severe the marital bond you're still married on paper but you can live apart or you can file for an element of marriage or nullity and that is a very streamlined complicated process i apply i filed for nullity of my marriage and it took me four years to get that involvement and during that time because adultery is criminalized in the philippines and only women could be charged with adultery i couldn't have a relationship i couldn't begin a new one i couldn't buy property because it would be considered conjugal i couldn't change or revert to my maiden name it was literally like my life was a nimble and finally when i had to go to court to testify and defend my an element case i was relentlessly interrogated by the judge i was made to feel like a criminal for a failed marriage and i guess you know that's how it is in this country it's like i'm worse than a criminal because i had violated marital vows i was

a sinner and after even after all of that i should consider myself lucky that i could get in the moment because so many people can't get one either they can't afford it or there's even a possibility of your anomaly being denied so try to imagine that you can choose who to marry but if your marriage fails and if you file for an anomaly or another marriage the state can actually decide for you to grant that and on that or not they can decide for you who you should stay married to that's just ridiculous. i'm just wondering. i just gave an explanation of. your marriage has failed do you see the issue with those options you have two options. i would not say that they understand where she's going but. again i would like

who my late. son options aside from legal separation. and i meant again. i hope that it was a real he and i it's. blame the prince we have around us we have been. cautious where we went through and telling us in their lives and that we have been coming to this church organizations and have been a minister not true then seaton's we have been at the medical school in assists in . how the course got through that the challenge yes in their head light and for me i would really like. wish that. to prevent the separation you know. lauren i don't i think.

i want to go to you with this but i want to pick up on what lauren site about the assistance because online there are some people who are saying well there are a few things in marriage that there is no assisting one out of this is katherine or assisting one towards a reconciliation rather katherine says if this divorce the losses spouses would be able to end their marriages for reasons like abuse and infidelity they can't right now which means that many women are trapped in abusive and dysfunctional relationships are picking up on that croatia here size regarding divorce if it's costly even if they're being physically abused by their partners and women are considered strong for putting up with those circumstances rather than allowing them to get out of toxic relationships so and i think for people who are not in the philippines what might be surprising to them is even in the cases of abuse and. detriment to the woman's health and body she's not allowed to get

a divorce can you explain that for us true under our laws you're only allowed a legal separation and that's a very strange law there because. you can have the opportunity to marry again to find happiness again and also these are crimes you know back to read a crime infidelity bigamy is a crime and jeff when you're systematically abused for years and years you steal truck there in the marriage i mean lawrence everybody would want counseling and all my friends who are now separate that the cancer counseling nobody jumps in and says you know i want to warn people try to save their marriages but when and woman has been like for years why you to be poor beat her this chance. to get out of hell and fine

and the like i look at the air. again just like what you said that if they go separate issues they love or do so in a situation that. by lance the message by aliens we're not allowed going to every shot and yeah it's that there's little to remarry. it's just like what you said where you are so. you see. it because. you believe. in. it or. you like your new marriage again well it was the. no no no no no why you actually mean that they will jump into marriage you know they might say i don't know what we're talking about stopping them from getting the opportunity to

do so with counseling if you want to that's not to say i think what i think we're talking about here is just you know being able to give people options depending on what their circumstances are in life so if a couple is going through some kind of rocky period and they want to seek some kind of counseling ryans as you said there are there are organizations like yours that will offer that but i'm also coming from a place where the marriage is just it's just and be under dempsey and where do you go from there legal separation is not a viable option because it won't allow you to marry again and you're still married on paper can you imagine that you're allowed to live apart you don't need the law to tell you that you can live apart but you do need a law to allow you to start again to allow you a second chance at happiness and then let's go to the two versions of an element that are available it's incredibly rigid because there's only a set of predefined criteria that you that will qualify you to apply for an

announcement apart from that it's so it's so it's it's insufficient you know those grounds are insufficient because they don't include physical violence they don't include for devotee as a grounds for burying your marriage. isn't it a bit more because this is quite it's going to be quite surprising because the way that all norman is set up in the philippines is it has to be quite combative you cannot say ok we agree that we're not going to be together but we had we had something to now we want to be on you have to prove that your spouse is what i love . right now for an element you have to prove they were catchall if you don't fall into any of that preset criteria and it's a very rigid a lot of people will cite psychological incapacity as the reason for filing for an all bad and you have to prove psychological incapacity because it's just such a wide catch all term and you have to think

a bucket where you put in all sorts of things that were wrong with the marriage of the highlights noble sings about will spouse you can singles because you don't want to judge to not see and know meant exactly and even if they were true you know and you if there is specially if there are children involved do you really want to air out your dirty laundry you don't you just want to end this marriage and move on admittedly you want some kind of. coupling as they say a very nice and coupling right it's already bad so you want to turn that kind of situation into something good and also with respect to their children involved again this is the the father of my child with respect to that you want to be able to get out of that with as much respect and much dignity as possible and because the process is so adversarial it prevents you from doing that. i want to share this story that's circulating on twitter from someone with a personal story she says when i was a kid i dreamt to get married and build my own family and then the dream came true

unfortunately to the wrong one i'm tied to a monster who made my cloud dark and all i can do is dream again to be free so that's one person's story there but i want to shift to this because it picks up when you were saying on a about the and moments here says i support this bill is legalization because marriage moment is extremely expensive and it used to be part of number pre-colonial culture and i'm wondering if you can unpack that for us where would the it is from the every one you need. you know to certify that one did. you is psychological e incapacitate for marriage that's the only well that's one of the most common ways that people get a moment to you get to peer judge i mean if people understand our court system and the philippians they're all full of cases judges a single case can take well imus four years some will take as long as stanley you

know and you've got to pay lawyers and everything so two hundred fifty thousand is the low average for at two hundred fifty thousand passes with more than four thousand dollars but that would mean more than a year of minimum of for a minimum wage earner if he or she or he least and his income for. an hour so it's just beyond people's pockets and so they stayed there suffering because they just can't afford it didn't that the wars bill that has been approved by the house of representatives allows indigent women and men to. wreak court services when they see it or so that a lot of. so i'm hearing your arguments in die and. they are very

powerful but i'm also looking at some of the pro stay married protest this one here i'm just looking at here this was just a complement months ago in the philippines where. the very religious community in the philippines is saying no to divorce we uphold the zanti of mind and then once your organization couples for christ defending the filipinos family is that what you saw that you having to do right now staving off these calls for divorce because you are defending the family the concept of the family in the philippines. because. we legalized it works it will be easy for and. it's not their marriage. i understand or something we shouldn't say that in caucus or invented it because situations like what we have been thought of earlier

by the message by aliens and we're going to run down not up and well if we're going to use that worse it's not only for those in it difficult situations who will benefit but it will also be used to skulk ones who just want to. get away from their marriage you know it would be very easy for them if we would get it is in the bill of what were those other copeland's or not i don't really have a problem with aguilar and as it was since you know. i don't really see a problem with that lawrence if two people decide to get married then they should be able to freely decide not to be married to one another i mean that's the plain and simple thing for me but also just to go back to the the way that this divorce bill has been drafted it has taken that into consideration the legislators didn't want to make it easy to get a divorce that's why the provisions include a six month cooling off period where you file for it and then there's a six month waiting period to see if there's

a chance that the couple may reconcile and they have also removed. chronic unhappiness or citing chronic and happiness as reasons for getting a divorce and that was all part of making this what they call filipino style divorce it wasn't going to be made easy for others for people just to get a divorce just because they wanted one but again i'm saying i don't see anything wrong with that i hear you there i want to bring up a three to someone who might agree with lawrence here this is d.m.p. who says i'm against divorce in the philippines because it's a family oriented country i believe in the great bonding that we have in every family here in our country most of us are races supportive loving and caring people around us were just considered our family so so this person clearly they felt family three times in this tweet is really upping that aspect of why people should stay together but this tweet from milan brings up something different she says married couples don't realize how much their arguments affect their kids mentally

sometimes having divorced parents is healthier than living in a household with constant fights lawrence what's your take on this argument having two people who hate each other in the same household and having children see that what do you think that does to the children. and. well. more much of. it is. just you see. you're very consistent with the way that you are approaching this issue in the philippines let me show you a little of you this is from pope francis and he said. three years ago that family

separation can be morally necessary i am reading family separation as divorce where he's saying that there are times when there are extreme situations where it is better for that family not to be together but how about society and public opinion in the philippines how is that changing or how is that change how we look at this graphic here and your see in the green the people who actually want to have a divorce for costs irreconcilably separated couples i have trouble with that word if you don't like your spouse that's the reason. i have trouble reading the word and you see in two thousand and five forty three percent but look at the green over the years twenty eleven twenty fourteen twenty fifteen twenty sixty to seventy consistently more people in the philippines are interested in this idea of having divorce than are not what is that saying in die about public one.

i think people realize now that they don't need to remain cropped in very unhappy relationships marriages i grew up in a in a huge loving catholic family my parents were devout catholics i'm one of eleven siblings and i am i we were all very happy but it's precisely because they thought as that we have a loving god that i think he would not one to anybody woman or man and especially children to be trucked in a living hell and that he would want to allow anybody. you know after considerable counseling and you know going through a process with respect the cooling off period to start life anew and have a chance at happiness so many people we have very high rate of domestic violence in

the philippines you know we have rape we have abuse and i think women talking to each other have fallen the strength to say that we need a system where we are given the chance not only to start a new but also to make sure to give our children a chance to have the same economic benefits that they had to work together and also to give people a chance to have joint custody of children and it's a more reasonable and more efficiently and i don't think people who have good marriages are going to be tempted to go for divorce just for the hack of it i think there are a lot of members of our community that would completely agree with you and then there are these two comments i want to bring up when we talk about public opinion

this is jack who says being in a religious country i'm against divorce in the philippines the union of two individuals cannot be separated because they receive the sacrament of marriage from the church meaning they vowed and promise on only to the witnesses that are present but also to god to keep that in mind we also got this live comment on youtube from someone who says this no divorce policy in the philippines will make a couple think really really hard before going into married life. of course you have the privilege of hindsight but even looking forward and looking towards your friends and people you know what is this done to people who might be thinking about marriage. well i think that you know the people who are thinking i don't know what people think of marriage or thinking right now but you know it's definitely is a detriment or a some kind of futile how it dampens you right to think about not being able to to have a second chance of had at happiness if this doesn't work out what i've always said

to people is you know if you are not for divorce then i really really sincerely hope that you will be in a relationship be in a marriage where you won't need one and a nominee is an ugly hurtful extremely painful process i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy so i said right now those people who don't need a divorce their rights are protected you know as titus quote but what about those people that we've been talking about people like me and other friends that i know of and that lawrence knows and i'm sure and i know as well who have marriages that are beyond repair and that need a legal solution for them to have a second chance at happiness just like everybody else i think that's all that's all you want us people who are advocating for divorce we just want to level the playing field on of those a moment when i. started to cry just a few minutes ago what we sinking in that moment. that well i'm just

a little i'm always a little. frustrated about how number one it took it was such an artist process to get a nominee for me and it was it was traumatizing in its own right i didn't feel like i had to be made out to look like some kind of criminal in the court room i still remember that exact i can still remember you know how i was questioned how i was interrogated and having a court room of people filled in strangers and look at you while all of that is happening i can see it was more than ten years ago now and i can still tell you exactly how that went so it was extremely traumatizing say the least but at the same time it's also a point of anger for me because again i'm supposed to consider myself lucky because i got an annulment i had the financial resources to do so well as other people can't even get to that point and then they have to say trapped in their marriages
