11:01 am
a couple touches everything that we're doing is in line with an adherence to posse comitatus the one exception that allows troops to be deployed offensively is an invasion a specter invoked by president trump in a threatening tweet saying without providing any evidence many gang members and some very bad people are mixed into the caravan heading to our southern border please go back you will not be admitted into the united states and this to go through the legal process he concludes this is an invasion of our country and our military is waiting for you. u.s. administration officials point to the violence that broke out at bottom on his border with mexico as hundreds try to force their way across to join the large group of would be immigrants to the u.s. already on their way the main body of people now numbering some three and a half thousand is still hundreds of kilometers away from the u.s.

people were on board a lion air flight when it went down just minutes after takeoff from jakarta body parts have been recovered but the exact location of the wreckage has not been identified as go to our correspondent wayne hay he's joining us live from the capital of the search teams have any success overnight twain. well elizabeth that search operation continued right through monday night the authorities involved in this operation of being very clear about this that they will not stop it will be a twenty four hour a day operation for at least seven days even the indonesian president joko widodo has stress that this operation will not stop however there is still overnight was no sign of the main wreckage of that plane the dive operation though did not continue through the night although that has now resume resumed on tuesday morning trying to find that main fuselage of the plane so overnight really it was
11:04 am
a case of continuing to search the surface in the crash area using sonar also to try to detect where the main wreckage might be but again no luck with that they continue to find pieces of debris floating on top on the surface of the java sea although they're now saying they think they may have gotten all of the major pieces of debris and also as you mentioned elizabeth body parts continued to be discovered so far twenty four body bags have been taken to the shore and they have been taken to a nearby hospital where the grim task for the relatives will begin of identifying those body parts to try to find out exactly who was on board of course and also one of the priorities is trying to find the recorders from on board the cockpit voice recorder also the flight data recorder and tried in an effort to try to help them with that they're often experts from singapore with specialist equipment and those specialists from singapore are on site now and until those flight recorders have
11:05 am
been found wayne is it possible to know what caused the crash are we any closer to finding that out. we're still no clear on exactly what caused this flight to crash into the java sea monday morning and exactly what happened in the final moments still a lot of speculation elisabeth about the fault that was found on the same plane the previous day on a flight or at least before a flight from bali to jakarta the line a chief executive saying there was a fault but it was cleared to make that flight and clearly it did land safely in jakarta on sunday night there is some speculation now around the instrumentation on the flight that that fall could have been some confusing readings coming through to do with altitude and to do with air speed but at the moment that is speculation and there is certainly no confirmation from lie in the air or indeed from the or
11:06 am
thorough he's involved in this recovery operation there's no doubt that they will know exactly why that request was made by the pilot to turn the plane around two to three minutes after it took off from jakarta but again they are not saying exactly what that message was from the pilots when thank you very much for that as wayne hay with all the very latest live in jakarta thank you. now to tonight's there were at least twenty people have been enjoyed after a female suicide bomber blew herself up in the capital tunis fifteen police men are among the injured the country has been under a state of emergency since twenty fifteen after dozens of people were killed in a series of attacks let's go straight to our correspondent david chaytor he's joining us live from tunis and david do we know any more about the attack or the attack. elizabeth let me just tell you where it happened it happened right in the center of the capital in a street that's known as the seans elisei of kunis the bomb exploded about two
11:07 am
hundred yards away from the french embassy and near the main venous a pool theater now the thirty year old woman who is known as muna to the local press approached a police checkpoint and then exploded what seemed to be homemade devices it's probably a bag of grenades. as you know at least twenty people injured most of them policeman but some of them civilians five civilians including two children but no serious casualties and it comes at a particularly very vulnerable time here because the moderate islamist parties begin to split away from the secular forces it comes at a time when austerity measures are being imposed here and that there were a great host being pinned on a revival of the tourist industry which of course was hugely damaged back in twenty fifteen when scores of people were killed in
11:08 am
a series of attacks including many britons shot dead on a on a beach in the coastal resort here so this is a crucial time for the government just trying to push through these austerity measures that are trying to actually tackle rising unemployment here rising inflation so at this particular moment it's a highly vulnerable moment and that's why this is having such impact now the chinese in president described its most effectively can i just tell you what he said he said that essentially they told they defeated terrorism and now they push them into the caves see thought but here they are back in the heart of the capital so it's really having a very large impact here. and they had i mean it would be same like david they had been successful because since those same ways of attacks and twenty fifteen. there was a state of emergency and they weren't other attacks and what has the security situation
11:09 am
been like and what will authorities be looking to do now well as we saw on the streets during the course of the day the device was detonated just around two o'clock in the afternoon a huge number of security forces on the streets special forces so they'll be making quite sure that this can't happen again but it's very hard to stop these sort of individual attacks because this woman had no known connections with any extremist organizations so essentially what they will try and do is reassure people both here and any tourists coming to tunisia that they have got the situation under control but that's going to be a tough call for the president the state of emergency as you said came into force in twenty fifteen and it's just been extended to november the sixth so i think we'll see yet another extension to the state of emergency they want to make quite
11:10 am
sure that things settle down again and they need that tourism industry it's seven percent of the g.d.p. here that is money they cannot afford to lose and of course this news going around the world will once again make tourists hesitate before they come to tunisia and i think that is the deliberate reason why whoever was behind this attack who have supplied this woman with the grenades this is the reason they would pushing forward this attack in the very center of the capital here david thank you very much for that is david chatham live and tunis thank you. now donald trump will visit pittsburgh on tuesday the same day the first funerals will be held for the eleven people killed at a shooting in a synagogue there but members of the jewish community have written an open letter to trump saying he isn't welcome unless he fully denounces a white nationalism and a gallagher reports from pittsburgh at the tree of life synagogue in squirrel hill

11:14 am
of how the president elect plans to govern he said let the people choose the way ahead via a national referendum but when it was finished this sunday it was widely panned just one percent of the electorate turned out the questions were flaw is cute in favor of the option new government once it was shown that voters could vote more than once and in different polling stations i mean really you can see these as successful exercise of participative democracy lopez obrador plans to change the constitution for more referendums on key issues but that's not the sort of decision making that will tempt a few trim vestas say business leaders but we hope that the incoming government to make the rules of the game clearer so that long term projects don't suffer from the repercussions and mistrust of the mexican government at the stock exchange those repercussions were already being felt the drop in the peso is
11:15 am
a real reflection of the deep concerns of the markets and the business community but the president elect says that he's not governing for them he's governing for the people first and foremost the poor he says the airport projects cancellation to save the country five billion dollars a year and his turnitin plan will be finished in three years. by the time it's kids will also have a clear idea of who they voted into power told home and out zero but scarcity. still ahead on the news hour mahinda rajapaksa returns a three lanka's prime minister but the man he's replacing is refusing to go and come out and force leftist footballers pay tribute to their liaison into those killed in a helicopter crash at the ground on saturday. hello

11:20 am
in the synagogue shooting following the incident trump said it had little to do with gun control adding that the u.s. should step steffen laws on the death penalty instead during the investigation into the murder of son of a journalist. has warned of consequences of saudi arabia as implicated in the killing but he has repeatedly emphasized that his main focus is preserving an arms to the kingdom which he says could save thousands of u.s. jobs and in the past few hours the trumpet ministration has announced that it will send more than five thousand troops to the u.s. border with mexico to hold the flow of migrants and refugees the forces cannot legally detain anyone they can only support the border patrol well let's get more on this now we're joined by jason stanley professor of philosophy at yale university and author of how fascism works the politics of oz and then he's joining us live from new haven stanley
11:21 am
a pleasure to have you with us on al-jazeera so we want to talk more about how this administration has been dealing with these key issues you know a week before the election the latest being the deployment of five thousand troops to the mexico border what do you make of this action and its timing. it's all part of this completely complete conspiracy ridden politics that the administration is fully embrace in the politics of fear of the other genin off haneke a conspiracy theory based on an anti sematic old anti sematic. international view that that george soros is sending immigrants to the united states to invade and pollute the pure blood of america i mean these are is running the election on the entire campaign is being predicated on a fully fictional conspiratorial. conspiracy theory
11:22 am
to undermine america with foreign invaders and invaders it smacks of been one nine hundred twenty the one nine hundred thirty s. frank and that same conspiracy theory has also being used you know in that synagogue a shooting and pittsburgh and president trump is going to visit pittsburgh on tuesday and this is despite members of the jewish community asking him not to because they say that you know because they say of his history of targeting minorities do you agree with that and why and if so why is he going when there's opposition to it. so it's absolutely the case that the rhetoric that is used in this campaign by the republicans and by the president the rhetoric used is it is it has a cause a look back then in this terrible shooting and other events like the pipe bombs out of the shooter the shooter or used all the terminology the president using he
11:23 am
claims he's a national or defending nationalism he's protecting the country against globalists and he went to murder jewish americans because he bought into a theory that jewish americans that jews jews were bringing immigrants into the united states now the president says george soros is bringing immigrants in the united states the president says globalists are bringing immigrants into the united states the president never uses the term jewish but how how much of us that is of it how much of a stretch is it really to move from globalists and george soros to the classic twentieth century conspiracy theory that jewish jews are internationalists trying to dilute the purity of a cunt of a country furthermore the president has blamed the dissension in the country on
11:24 am
a conspiracy theory that controls the media so are you saying then that these types of attacks on the minorities and ethical as long as donald trump is an office and i mean how worrying is that especially what these elections coming up and essentially maintaining what he's said all along. well we see this politics all across the world right now fear of the other these panic conspiracy theories completely untethered from reality so it's proven very successful in the united states our democratic culture has been no saudi against it so far and we will see what happens in the elections if americans stand up for the look for our values of equal respect and and our commitment to truth and reality and shut up and react appropriately to this this frankly
