be for now and fine but i'm not sure of the safety of the school so my wish is that it closed for now because of the security problems with. mexico has defended its human rights record at the united nations review in switzerland because i'm better to the un human rights council says recent laws have improved children's rights and helped limit corruption paul brennan is in geneva. mexico came to this hearing of the u.n. human rights working group with numerous human rights violations to explain perhaps the most notorious among them the two thousand and fourteen massacre of forty three student teachers in. a massacre that is still unsolved today but the ambassador from mexico came forward with a raft of recent legislation that has improve the human rights situation general access to improve the rights of the child to tackle corruption and to prevent torture and also a whole new criminal justice system since twenty sixteen and the reaction from the chamber here was broadly supportive there were numerous suggestions and

recommendations as how mexico continue to push forward its progress but in general the other ambassadors the other nations broadly supportive of the direction of travel that mexico is taking. thousands of asylum seekers and girls from central america have arrived in mexico city on the way to the u.s. because mainly of honduras is the first of three large groups moving across mexico in search of a better life but will repel it as more from mexico city. this is the sound of children laughing and singing. he just arrived in the capital mexico city after traveling with five thousand other central americans for the first time in several weeks they're able to really rest it's going to where we want these children to see that mexico is a country that's in solidarity with them so they can take this memory when they really feel. that going to find the mexican authorities have been preparing for their arrival setting up food stands medical tents as well as spaces for

a shower and even a haircut better nor let them feel nothing though i'm happy with how mexico has treated us we're very thankful to mexico. we met me here while she was waiting in line for donated clothes she says she's bound for the u.s. and has a message for president trump and no better than no there are no terrorists here or criminals nobody is here for fun we're running from poverty in honduras it's not for pleasure that i'm traveling to the united states. walking along the camp we spotted several volunteers providing legal advice to those looking to claim political asylum either in mexico or the u.s. although at. a volunteer attorney says most aren't planning to stay in mexico despite the rhetoric despite the fear that the trumpet ministration is trying to administer these people are intent on carrying out the right that they have to seek asylum in the united states right yet while it may seem crowded authorities say

they're still expecting more people to arrive in the coming days this space at this outdoor sporting arena has been transported through comedy as many as five thousand people traveling as part of a caravan that left on douras several weeks ago but their stop here is only temporary and their ultimate goal is reaching the southern border of the united states. with a fresh change of clothes in hand and her daughter head off to get some rest knowing the most difficult part of their journey still lies ahead but ended up at a. mexico city. well chile has begun tracing migrants who want to go home for free the first and largest group are haitians with more than thousands lined up to the program in america to see anyone explains why the government is flying them home. these haitian migrants are leaving chile with a bit more than with what they came but with their dreams shattered. what we thought we were coming to do doesn't exist we came here for

a better life for decent work but there's nothing there the first one hundred seventy six beneficiaries of a government humanitarian repatriation program for migrants who can't afford to leave they've been given a free flight home in exchange for not returning to chile for at least nine years. since they could not adapt to our reality and their expectations were not mitt they asked the government's help to return home. the vast majority like they. say it's because they can't survive here you're right. my christened chile two years ago when i came it was easy to find a job but not now another thousand haitians are on the list and an undisclosed number of colombian migrants are also asking for a free flight home it is an unprecedented offer unique in a world where many more migrants are deported against their will but the very fact that this program exists draws attention to the exploitation and abuses that many

many migrants in chile face. thousands of haitians live in appalling conditions employers often under pay them others complain of racism you know we asked the interior minister what the government is doing to help migrants stay rather than leave where working to police and control employers and landlords and we've introduced measures to ensure that migrants obtain proper residence documents so they can't be exploited and can access public services too late for these migrants who've given up any hope of making chile their home as they return to haiti to an uncertain future you see in human al-jazeera santiago. well still had hail al-jazeera israel outlines non-business plan for railing from the mediterranean to the straits of hormuz also while at the expense reveal the troubling side of a cute baby bad video that's been viewed more than twenty million times and informal on late extends its talented to include of the means grown pray in hull

welcome back you're watching your house there is news hour with me a whole raw but a reminder of all top stories u.s. president told trump has fired attorney general jeff sessions will be replaced by his chief of staff matthew whitaker who has been highly critical of the mill investigation leading democrats say which comes must immediately recuse himself from the oversight of the russia probe the firing of sessions was adults just after president trump talked up his republican party's gains in the senate from the chief state's midterm elections but i have to contend with democrats to welsh. powerful committees in the lower house after the opposition party secured a majority in the chamber. pro-government forces and yemen say they've advanced closer to the who the control port city of the data supported by the saudi and iraq the coalition which has been forming positions in the city. the leader of the heathy rebels has vowed never to surrender. let's get more now on the top story

that's told on firing of u.s. attorney general jeff sessions particle haid as a reporter the man who was once one of transfer least backers but to stop at the justice department was troubled from practically they want. attorney general jeff sessions was an early and enthusiastic supporter of donald trump's bid for the white house. now when that bid succeeded president appointed his loyal supporter attorney general. but in his confirmation hearings sessions failed to tell the whole truth about a campaign error meeting he had with russian ambassador surrogate his lack session stunned washington with the statement in march of two thousand and seventeen and that is that if you trust any. future investigations the event will lay the way it can for the united states sessions move enraged trump who saw it as enabling the probe into whether his campaign colluded

with the kremlin to win in two thousand and sixteen trump publicly taunted and denigrated his attorney general often in june he tweeted the russian which on hoax continues all because jeff sessions didn't tell me he was going to recuse himself i would have quickly picked someone else of course sessions had no idea he would recuse himself when trump offered him the job but once he did he couldn't interfere in the russian probe or fire special counsel robert mueller who reports to deputy attorney general rod rosenstein numerous reports indicate trump repeat. didley considered firing sessions only to be talked out of it by his advisors but he continued to vent his ire. and then he said i'm going to recuse myself i said what kind of a man is this session's refused to quit and fired back a trumpet a statement saying well i am attorney general the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations would not

battling his boss in the white house sessions formally a hard line judge in alabama senator was implementing draconian law and order policies most notably the so-called zero tolerance policy on migrants and asylum seekers that resulted in thousands of children and babies being separated from their parents if you are some are doing a child then we will prosecute you and that child may be separated from you as required by law. in the end sessions loss of support among former republican senate colleagues signaled the death knell for his attorney general schip whether his departure will signal an end to the russia probe or be seen as another effort by trump to darrelle that investigation remains to be seen political gain al-jazeera washington. torie besetting is a contributor to the brennan center for justice and she's an attorney is also the author of electoral dysfunction

a survival manual for american voters could have you with us live on al-jazeera now this was not a voluntary resignation the letter begins dear mr president at your request i'm submitting my resignation and there will be the story ends about the debate begins about how this is happened and how and why it's happened so very quickly a you surprised at the speed of this resignation. well everyone has been anticipating that the president would fire attorney general sessions for quite some time as you know he's been on his case for quite a while and dissatisfied with them but everyone was very surprised that it happened the day after the election the president basically managed to fire sessions and put as much time between house subpoenas and his firing of sessions as possible i mean it's been in them comfortable appointment from the start for both sessions and trouble one could argue should sessions have accepted and should trump of offered him the post. i'm

sorry i seem to have lost audio victoria can you hear me now yes i can hear i can hear you now. on the line so i do apologize about that the technical issue there i mean it's an uncomfortable perhaps in point from the start of those sessions and trump knowing what we know now in terms of the mill investigation should sessions have accepted the appointment and should trump have offered it in the first place. well absolutely that the two of them were actually if you will both somebody has before the investigation began if you'll recall you know for many months sessions was for many months after sessions was appointed attorney general there was no independent moller investigation james comey was the head of the f.b.i. sessions was faithfully executing the president's vision for the muslim band for

increased enforcement regarding a whole variety of issues there's there's no reasons why session shouldn't have a excepted the appointment and why he shouldn't have continued to be attorney general well into the administration even to this day the only point of conflict between them was over the moeller investigation and the only point of conflict was whether or not the attorney general was protecting the president personally rather than acting as the chief law enforcement for the united states and for all of the people of the united states do you think this is no a bigger problem for whitaker we don't know much about him but how do you think he's going to take on this role knowing that no he too has the president's backing . yeah did the six actually the point the independence and the integrity of the department of justice is on the line does the department of justice work for the united states and the people or is it a wholly owned subsidiary of trunk trump inc is it basically an administrator

a department of justice and a law enforcement agency that does what the president wants to protect the president and to protect the president's whims or is it actually an independent law enforcement agency these are the questions that are going to be answered over the course of the next few days would occur has clearly indicated in the past that he is highly protective of the president's personal interests now that he's actually got the power of the attorney general the question is whether or not he's going to step up and act as a representative for all of the people and for justice or whether or not he's going to do with the president wants him to do and of course that's a question that will also be asking in terms of ways investigation goes whether he has support from the attorney general's office now that with to is that i mean that's the first really important question and tusks thus to be solved and resolved . yeah i expect that that that that muller is going to be having a meeting at the department of at main justice pretty shortly to debrief the new acting attorney general on his investigation and on what's going on to be

a fly in that room no fly on the wall in that room no one no one knows what's going to happen and what the discussion is going to be but you know we do know that at with the election over this was the time when muller was going to be picking back up his investigation he had gone quiet during the six weeks to two weeks before the election per standard department of justice regulations so with the election over muller was finally free to begin taking his investigation back up potentially to be releasing a report on his findings to be issuing new indictments but now before he can do any of that he has to meet with whitaker and get what occurs approval you know there were reports that were flying today early in the day that donald trump jr had indicated he thought he might be the target of an indictment so you know whether or not that happens or whether or not it some of the other people who've been rumored to be on the verge of indictment roger stone being one of the major ones whether or

not those two indictments come down any time soon is going to be the first indication of how firm rein whitaker has taken over the moller investigation indeed and i'm sure you victoria would both like to be flies on the wall in those car doors of tower in the coming weeks unfortunately the but thank you very much for your time and your insight from new york. for more than four decades japan sterilized twenty five thousand of its own people who are suspected of having disabilities or mental illnesses after years of silence victims of the controversial program and demanding an apology and also want compensation from the government has more from tokyo. as a boy. was regularly abused by his foster parents because of his polio. in nineteen sixty.
