played in the great war and the legacy it's left behind on april second one nine hundred seventeen u.s. president woodrow wilson issued the battle cry the world must be made safe for democracy many americans approved of the decision to go to war against germany and its allies a government that is running amok but despite the headlines and propaganda efforts just as many americans opposed fighting in the so-called great war the u.s. historian michael kazin described the antiwar movement in his recent book war against war it did seem like a war that was in the american national interests seem like a war that most europeans had not wanted to fight in the first place so there was a sense that if america got involved the war it would only make i say it's more militarist country which is just the fall face saw in the european powers that had gone to war in the first place even so kazan says the impact of the war on us
10:45 pm
society was far reaching some suffragist leveraged women's performance in the workplace to convince congress they should have the right to vote black soldiers including the harlem hell fighters who fought in france discovered their service did not protect them from racism after the war and that inspired the work of civil rights activists in the decades ahead and the us started a long running debate about what it means to be a global power economically militarily and diplomatically. wilson had resisted calls to enter the war since it began in one nine hundred fourteen but after a german u. boat torpedoed the cargo ship as tack on april first getting congress to declare war was easy by the time the armistice was signed on november eleventh one thousand nine hundred eighteen one hundred sixteen thousand u.s. troops had died either in combat or because of the flu pandemic kazan says that does not mean the antiwar movement had failed what the story there to were movement
10:46 pm
doing what one can teach us is that it's crucial for americans for people for any nation to force their politicians and their media. and their businesses those of other businesses to. think very carefully about this decision because once you decide to go to war there's no going back and important insight one hundred years on especially given that americans still don't agree on when and why the u.s. should go to war rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. we'll have more news for you at fourteen g. i'll see you then. think this is fun for me you think i'm having. a.

10:50 pm
un lawyers are reviewing new immigration regulations being put into place by the trumpet ministration in the u.s. now only people who enter the u.s. through an official border crossing will have their asylum claims considered and the criteria that people have to meet for refugee status will be much higher at all follows donald trump's description of a group of migrants walking north through mexico as an invasion most of them are smuggled over the border they will no longer be eligible automatically for asylum more will face near immediate deportation the move implemented by the new acting attorney general michael ware to sidesteps the congress and is expected to face legal appeals in recent weeks donald trump has deployed the military to the u.s. border as part of an effort to stop migrants. joins us live now from washington so kimberly is pretty head spinning we just got through the midterm elections and here's mr trump moving forward pleasing his base one assumes as well absolutely i
10:51 pm
mean there's no question the president made immigration key part of his administration and his first two years in office and he's continuing to do so immediately after the midterm elections because this is something that certainly rallies conservatives and also he feels it is him keeping a promise on the campaign trail that he made even before getting into office but immigration activists say that the president is directly responding to that caravan that is moving through mexico that came from central america and is approaching the u.s. border and that the president's actions to try and combat a flood of illegal immigration into the united states is simply a violation of us as well as international law just to clarify currently where the last stands in the united states prior to the president taking this action it allowed anybody who entered into the united states whether it was legal or illegal as long as they were fleeing persecution in their home country they were allowed to
10:52 pm
claim asylum but now the parameters for that are being changed by the administration unilaterally citing a national security making the argument now only asylum claims will be accepted if they are made to an official port of entry what this means peter is it's going to cut down significantly on those who are able to make asylum claims will this be one of his famous executive orders or does it have to go through congress. well officially here's how it works congress makes the laws but we have seen in fairness this is started even under president obama an increasing grasp and overuse some would argue of executive power other words presidents using executive orders to get things done because of the gridlock that exists in congress so what we've seen is a weakening of the legislative branch and a stronger more powerful executive branch or white house this started under barack obama donald trump has continued to exercise this some say taking it much further
10:53 pm
than the previous administration where is this headed to the other branch of government in the united states and that is the judicial branch or the supreme court the highest court in the land it will likely to be challenge we know already that the a.c.l.u. or american civil liberties union is already crafting its arguments to challenge this we don't know when the president is going to officially sign this order we have reached out to the white house and we are watching for that very carefully as well the president is set to pivot and move towards a foreign policy he's headed to paris this weekend he'll be leaving the white house shortly we're expecting that he may talk about this where we will also get further clarification but what we're seeing here peter is just to sum this up is in action by congress for the last twenty years on able to find any meaningful immigration reform has allowed the executive branch under bronc obama now under donald trump to
10:54 pm
take this is step further and take matters into their own has the president citing national security expect that to get significant pushback from immigration activists kimberly thanks so much. well president drum's migration policy has suffered another blow an appeals court in california up holding an earlier ruling allowing a program that protects young undocumented immigrants to continue the program is known as dhaka it was created under the former president barack obama it gives some rights to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who came to the u.s. as children before two thousand and seven now it protects them from deportation and it also gives them work permits the u.s. he was likely to ultimately end up in front of the u.s. supreme court as well. a fast moving wildfire has forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes in northern california one entire town called paradise with a population of around twenty seven thousand people was emptied as the flames engulfed homes and businesses there are reports of a number of injuries and residents and firefighters have been injured to his child
10:55 pm
strafford. flames engulfing trees and buildings on both sides of the road branches falling on the windscreen of this car the driver is lucky to be alive as the wildfire ripped through woodland on these north california hills emergency services ordered the entire population of the town of paradise some twenty seven thousand people to evacuate here's the only burning on all sides of us on the way out here some residents abandon their cars this driver tries to remain calm go go go go go. people go it's not known what started the fire which was reported at six o'clock in the morning within six hours it had spread across an area of more than sixty eight thousand five hundred square kilometers serenely hazardous lots of smoke dark devastation active burning of all throughout the town to me and i lived
10:56 pm
there for eighteen years and it looks like the fire came from. east enders came straight through town. on the way to the west a vast spreading cloud of smoke filled the sky some people were said to be sheltering in a nearby hardware store i know there was a plan put in place they use the walgreens up in paradise as a temporary refuge area and why we do that is to get civilians or people that are out in the elements meaning the fire in the smoke we try to get him into an area that is safe away from the fire and smoke until that fire front pushes through we did have fire personnel with them and so once they deemed it safe we were able to get them out of. the town located on the mountain ridge there were very few escape routes traffic turned to gridlock one woman reportedly went into labor waiting in a traffic jam the hospital was among the buildings reportedly completely destroyed
10:57 pm
firefighting aircraft were unable to fly because winds were too strong and those winds were expected to strengthen further hampering efforts to extinguish the blaze racing across dry wouldn't slopes. they have been unverified reports of at least one person dying in the. millions of dollars worth of property of being burned to the ground as want to merge with the spokesperson said pretty much the entire community of powered ice is destroyed. al-jazeera. ok that's what's been going on the past twelve hours or so these pictures coming to us live to ventura county in southern california you can see there what looks like a fish in the ground as that flame is fanned by relatively speaking very very strong winds the problem there for firefighters is that historically there's always been something of a north south divide with the state of california where they've had historically high winds there has been a state of drought in california for
10:58 pm
a long time now and there is no forecast at all for any rain in the forecast over the coming days growing concerns about two other wildfires further south in the state as well both are burning north of a place called thousand oaks where eleven people died in a shooting at a bar on thursday mandatory evacuation orders have been issued in several times as humidity remains low and the winds remain high. turkish investigators say they'll continue looking for clues into the murder of the saudi journalist jamal but that's bittersweet news for his fiance who's reacted on twitter a teach a ginger has tweeted that she was shocked on hearing that jamal khashoggi his body may have been dissolved in acid saying that it's deprived her and his family of
