life difficult for many odds and times including indigenous communities. struggling to recover from her son's death last week she belongs to the indigenous community in chuckle one of argentina's poorest provinces. he was a good boy he was always smiling always playing he did not deserve what happened to him we are good people we work in what we can and do not have much but we are honest my son would never steal a looter supermarket he was a good student. if my in was thirteen years old he was going to meet his mother in a nearby neighborhood when a group of people allegedly tried to rob a supermarket. in the kill that oh no his mind was full. attention has been on the rice in argentina as food prices have increased because of the financial crisis. from the saline up in my says the incident in science pena is an example of the

difficulties indigenous communities face every day i don't know who i know but i look at us and say those dot disgusting indians from the north a useless and come to steal but that's not what happened argentina's government gives cash handouts through a card scheme to help poor families says on this occasion the card was withheld by the shop owner and those who went to the supermarket wanted it back. what happened is that you leave your card at the supermarket because we can only buy the basics so they kicked it as a guarantee to make sure we pay the problem is we never know what we are being charged and he keeps on mocking the prices up and that's a big problem when it affects those who come barely make enough to survive indigenous communities in northern argentina have historically been neglected by the states they're suffering from high levels of undernourishment. basic services this is the place that members of this community get their water from and that's

why in times of economic crisis very desperate need of help. we went to talk to the owner of the shop where the shooting happened he denied any wrongdoing. and he's having repercussions on the prices because of the devaluation so it's confusing for us too so we try to catch up to those who came here wanted to rob us and had no excuse. but the communities insist that is not the case the economic crisis is affecting the poor in every possible way and while the government tries to contain the impact for some it is already too late there are several saints pena argentina. let's bring in some breaking news just coming in now donald trump's former campaign manager a poor man of ford has pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy against the united states and obstruction of justice let's bring in patty car home she joins us now

live i believe from washington d.c. there she is patty bring us up to speed this is quite a significant development right. well we think so so let's just take a step back and remind everyone who paul manner for it is he was donald trump's campaign chairman for a very critical about six months just under six months during the conventions the republican convention so he was running the campaign but after he left the campaign when it came out that he had some business ties to the program government in ukraine well that is the subject of robert mueller the special counsel's investigation into him that he was facing two trials the one that's already done was in virginia he was said and convicted of eight of eighteen charges there that had to do with tax and bank fraud he was supposed to start coming up in the next couple of days in other trial in washington d.c. federal court where he was facing even more allegations and things like as you mentioned conspiring against the united states witness tampering lying to

investigators a whole host of charges so what's happening now well he was supposed to have a pretrial hearing in court but the special counsel filed a superseding indictment giving every indication that paul man afore is made a plea deal with them so what does that mean here's the bottom line we don't know we will find out in about an hour and a half no but at our local time that he is going to go before the court explain what exactly is going on so many people make a plea deal just to get a reduced sentence slightly reduced sentence other people make a plea deal and then they agree to cooperate with the special counsel for greatly reduced sentence we don't know which of these he has done and we'll find out as i said in an hour now this all goes back to president donald trump he has awesome power when it comes to commuting the sentences of pretty much anyone he chooses to he could also pardon all of that has more legal implications for him a lot of people are speculating this is a metaphor and saying i'm going to avoid the expense of

a trial i'm not going to cooperate and then i'm going to just hope that the president commutes my sentence because as things stand right now even without the d.c. charges he was still facing eight to ten years in prison and he's not a young man he's sixty nine so that could. bin for him basically a desa life sentence in prison so we'll find out more in an hour but it is a very interesting development. going to be watching twitter because that's where president keeps going to talk about what a brave man is. being and how flipping should be illegal and talking about what a shame it is. for these old crimes so here i twitter keep your eye here will know more in a. way sure those fingers are going to be. so much. to find the way. tennis.

time to catch up with all the sports news polls here thank you very much sammy well the most famous all depending on your point of view infamous tennis umpire and the game is back in action carlos ramos is officiating for the first time since the angered serina williams by giving her three code violations in the u.s. open final ramesses in the imposture for the davis cup semifinal between the usa in croatia williams accused him of being a thief and of sexism a she lost last saturday's final the research has shown that men received three times as many code violations as women in the past twenty years of grand slam

a neck injury but has been made captain for the game on the gold coast. while it will take a miracle for new zealand not to retain that title it was one of the defeats of australia that caused a serious injury with the captaincy coming immediately after he was finally cleared to play. and weeks a long time in rugby yeah it's it's one of those things we've been betrayed by this morning and put it put a new plan in place and you know i think a huge minute changes as players this is coming in and all the terms are. you trying for that and you know you hope you're ready for the war of words has intensified ahead of saturday's world title fight in las vegas between undefeated middleweight champion gennady glove ken and canelo alvarez goal of constraint has taken a job at canelo calling him an insult to boxing this will be their second fight they battled out a draw one year ago the rematch was meant to happen in may but canelo failed to

drug tests blaming it on eating contaminated meat champion glove can however doesn't believe his mexican rivals excuse and has accused him of cheating. stupid you are going to fight to remember. he he did some things that were insulting insulting not only. to the sport to the fans. we feel that now that level is going to be. what is allowed him to make excuses that he made. u.k. boxing writer david anderson says goal of ken was unlucky not to be awarded the decision in the first contest i thought glaucon an o.e. feared its wards of the lottery it's a fight that may be a worry for on for this time around that he may thirtieth years older than the thirty six but for me the love condition of you know if it were really was

a poor decision to try and make that as a draw against a lincoln you might turn around and argue well the fact that it's controversial draw me that the last remark was certain of the second fight with half another would make you more money than the first the first thing between two million pines was his third biggest grossing fight in boxing history and this will be just as big if not bigger it is a bit ridiculous really that canal or fill those two chairs back. one year suspension reduced to six months it was conveniently means that although we couldn't fight the remarks in may is food to fight that it's terrible there for a lot of people to make a lot of money from this fight we tend to look at the bit with for the fight for parting so i think really in what the dawn of the last few years i think the chances are these are probably best known for a point fires at the ministry where not signal but one africa's top eight football clubs are getting ready to meet in the champions league quarterfinals algeria's

quake damaged her family's apartment and the government moved them to distant shack around seventy families who lost their homes in that earthquake still live in this camp so. the government raised our hopes and then abandoned us politicians have promised that they won't allow a repeat of what happened after the earthquake in one thousand eight hundred five but the cost and complexity of housing hundreds of people living in camps is a major task and one that many people here think the government failed. landing. a place where. this is ken truly calling down home. spring you know wanted me to once you know you all ends up with money made us from c.n.n. and it is just for us surprising to find a few yes. yes to every know. my nigerian. on al-jazeera.

military offensive to recapture rebel held in the province the fight for yemen's main port rebels for appalled more casualties in saudi morality coalition airstrikes on one day the. florence batters north carolina threatens to destroy billions of dollars worth of property on the u.s. east coast. u.s. . president dog transform a campaign manager has agreed to plead guilty to new charges as part of a deal with special counsel robert muller for man a four will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy against the u.s. and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice according to court documents now the ford was convicted on separate bank untactful charges and the junior last month

had to calhoun joins us now live from washington d.c. so the bottom line what does this all mean for the president. well it does it's a seventy six page superceded but i've gotten to page five but i can tell you what i've learned so far is basically this is the special counsel office robert miller's office indicating that man a fort is going to make a plea deal so what does that mean truthfully we don't know yet we'll know in about an hour when he appears before court so as you mentioned he was already convicted of a charge of pretty serious felony charges in virginia that would have gotten him a sentence of between seven and ten years most likely could have been up to eighty . more serious charges in washington d.c. the trial just set to get under way now we know he has pled guilty or we believe he's going to plead guilty to a couple of charges conspiring against the united states money laundering tax fraud failing to file foreign bank accounts failing to register as a foreign agent lying to investigators and conspiracy to obstruct justice basically

witness tampering and so all very serious charges so why is he pleading guilty well there could be a couple of reasons he could simply want to avoid the cost of a second trial d.c. lawyers are incredibly expensive we're talking hundreds if not thousands of dollars an hour you can imagine what that bill is over weeks of trial and he could be saved prosecutors hey i'll give you this guilty plea give me a slightly reduced sentence or he could be saying i'm going to cooperate with special counsel's office and then i'm going to get a dramatically reduced sentence quite frankly we don't yet know which direction he's going to go with we do know that a lot of people have been speculating that his only hope here because he's facing such a long time in prison and he is sixty nine years old there is only hope is that he can convince president donald trump to use his vast powers when it comes to commuting sentences now there's a lot of speculation the president would pardon paul man a ford i can tell you there's virtually no chance the president is going to pardon paul manna forward because if he did that manaf will be forced to testify about everything he knows under oath the grand jury but he can wait until the sentence he

can simply commute the sentence the president can do that for pretty much anyone in the country except himself. so you can basically say ok i'm not going to read your crimes but you don't have to serve a day in prison that could be what paul metaphor is hoping for but quite frankly we don't know we do know that the president has been sending out signals on twitter that have been anything but subtle saying that he's a brave man of course a brave man and that he has shown courage unlike others he has chosen not to flip and make up stories the president sending signals which in itself could factor back into the special counsel robert muller is investigation so it's all very complicated exactly why he's doing this again no more and. their own juice speculating you've been very good to you know walking us through this very delicately and kathleen patty but is it fair to say at this point that any deal any plea deal with is not good news for don't trump's legal team. not necessarily because if he's basically to say i'll save you all the work of

going through a trial and. actually you know for the prosecutor it's not necessarily a slam dunk we saw in the last trial there was one holdout that wouldn't convict on ten counts so basically you can get a slightly reduced sentence just say hey i'll save you yes certainly i'll save you the effort it doesn't necessarily mean that he's cooperating if he is cooperating that would be potentially very damaging to the trump campaign remember he ran it and a lot of people are like oh well it was only six months less than six months but this is paul metaphor he got him through the republican national convention he made sure trump was the nominee that's his specialty he counts delegates and he was successful and making trump the nominee also in that christopher steele dossier which really is center of the mall or investigation many for its name is featured print predominantly through that so he is a man with a lot of connections to russia to ukraine and to the trunk campaign he could be seen as a linchpin to the case but also keep in mind it's not necessarily clear that manage

that molar actually metaphor because he already has rick gates who was pretty much central metaphors right hand man he's already flipped he said he's given all the evidence that he knows to the special counsel's office so. it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad news for president trump but again in an hour we'll find out if it's really bad news for the president or not a big deal at all all right thanks so much. now to syria where several demonstrations have been held to protest against the government one is in hammer where rebel positions have been targeted by government airstrikes the other is in neighboring india province the last remaining rebel stronghold in the country the protesters are angry at the government's plan to launch a massive military offensive to retake territory u.n. has repeatedly warned against the military assault saying it could only should manage very crisis on scene throughout syria seven and a whole new. three million people living it live most of them are civilians

displaced by the conflict in other parts of the country. and this is what the protests look like in hama dozens of people have gathered to condemn the continued shelling by government forces the u.n. estimates nearly forty thousand people have already fled the area as our strikes intensified over the past two weeks. from on the cross over to stephanie decker she's live for us and talk in the turkey syria border and stephanie are we haven't seen this level of protests in a while have we. absolutely i've actually reminding one of us when we're looking at these videos coming out in the course of the last couple of hours of what it was like at the beginning of this revolution sami before everything changed you know before millions were displaced from their homes before you know you could argue that the social fabric of syrian society was destroyed before it you know cities and homes were leveled the four various

different rebel groups supported by foreign backers got involved and it is i think it's quite sad in a way to watch because the message remains the same of those people but really it live brooke presents the last hopes the last stand of the syrian opposition the defense of that's going to be taken by the government backed by russia is a certainty what kind of shape it's going to take as to what's still being debated how much of it will be military how much of it will be negotiated politically but seriously the voice coming out the message is the same that they want president bashar al assad to go that they don't want a government offensive and they don't want to live under a government rule but of course again you know it is looking at the bigger picture the final stand of the opposition and these people will tell you many of them don't like the groups that rule there are many of them don't want a president bashar al assad but they have no choice in either all right. do people at this point feel that it's only

a matter of time before their strongholds for all those have all they really think there's still hope for the revolution to achieve its goals. a lot of people. don't want to admit it but i think deep down inside there is an acknowledgement that things have changed and that the reality has changed there are some people within the opposition whether civilians or fighters who will tell you one of them actually put it very eloquently to us last week who said you know it was our damascus if we took damascus it meant that we really would have won this war but it lived for that means it really is the end of the journey for us so people do think that they don't have much control of it that's for sure when it comes to the civilians but many of the rebel groups on the ground sami will say that they will fight to the very end other people we've been speaking to will tell you this is going to take a very long time someone one of the analysts who we were talking to earlier today saying nine to ten months potentially that you know the first phase of the of the

operation could take back the south which is less populated it's an area that are rebels that are backed by turkey and then you have the more you know the more hard fighters groups like. terrorist organization by russia by the u.s. by the u.n. and also now turkey who will tell you at this point in time they're going to fight to the fight and a battle the world worry of course is the civilians of these groups remain in the cities so it's hugely challenging and everyone's just waiting to see how it's all going to unfold thanks so much becky. yemen's houthi rebels say fifteen people have been killed in saudi a morality led coalition airstrikes in the port city of a day the fighting has escalated recently the coalition tries to take hard data from the rebels under simmons has more from djibouti. hooty rebel forces say these are civilians caught in the saudi a morality led coalition's line of fire in her data the hooter's say at least
