one day each record says it since then they have requested on more than one occasion to be able to go in yet again they have not been given that approval by these how do you all for it is which is obviously preventing them considering it is considered to be diplomatic property however based on that initial search that they conducted they told us that their investigators were able to gather evidence as you mentioned of chemicals and acid inside that's well they haven't been able to search the well in its entirety to be lowered down inside it however they believe and that's evidence they say maybe with other evidence that they are yet to disclose is that them to explore one possibility being the strongest of possibilities and i stress here still possibilities that jamal khashoggi is body or what remains over it or large parts of what remains of its were destroyed and dissolved using those chemicals they haven't been able to ascertain any d.n.a. or at least haven't told us that they've got any d.n.a. from not so well in need that's why they still want to go in and search it deeper

having said that as you mentioned there are still those questions of who are did this who is behind this will the saudis. approve the request for extradition where is the consul general peter who is the key witness to this somebody who saw everything from beginning to end who can almost sort of the questions of who gave the order why was he summoned so quickly when the turkish authorities wanted to question him has he been summoned because they don't want him to talk is he under house arrest or even something worse all of these questions obviously still haven't been on so then it's something that's making it very difficult to understand how this investigation can be concluded without on such through those questions. jamal thanks very much. we move on palestinians are protesting against the israeli blockade of the border fence in gaza this is the first friday they've been holding the demonstrations at the israeli border it's known as the right to return march and every week israeli forces have been targeting palestinians with live fire more

is that the high russian official has been summoned in vienna here in moscow the austrian ambassador has been summoned by the foreign ministry foreign minister left has angrily responded to the accusations coming from austria he says they basically violate all good behavior between two nations in the international diplomacy if there are suspicions of spying normally the countries would hold a dialogue between closed door first and he said lately western nations have picked up the habit to shout out loud if these accusations occur without having a conversation first and left office also sad that instead of providing information as requested by the austrian chancellor he will explain to the austrian ambassador how international diplomacy works central african republic refugees mostly muslims have slowly started to return to their homes but their arrival is causing new tensions in one city because the homes and businesses they left have been occupied

a whole. firing lasers in space suns like science fiction scientists say the technology plays a very real role in keeping our planet safe. we've been launching things and people into space since nine hundred fifty seven satellites be a favorite programs spacecraft to explore the unknown people to take our first steps and in the more than sixty years of space exploration with managed to leave behind around one hundred seventy million bits of junk to give you a sense of just how big the problem is take a look at this graph from scientists at the university of texas these orange dots a functioning satellites orbiting the earth every day everything else let's say of pink the below is daybreak junk basically some of it's tiny some of it says big as a bus all of it's hurtling around the earth at speeds in excess of twenty seven

thousand kilometers an hour crisscrossing at different orbits and on a potential collision course for the things and people that we want up there. scientists warn it has the potential to create a string of catastrophic even unstoppable collisions that could render parts of space unusable nesa scientists donald kislev first identified the scenario thirty years ago scientists have been trying to come up with ways to clean up after ourselves if a sentence has the predicted that when the population density of space debris reaches a certain point it will start to cool i would self and start multiplying by itself and we're seeing the beginnings of that we see increasing number of satellite collisions. through core you know the best minds on the planet in this to mine we have another ten years we could be very lucky and have twenty years or twenty five we could be very unlucky and it could happen tomorrow scientists are making

progress with innovative ways to clear the class a but none of it's ready to launch just yet that's where a new years of well established laser technology comes in ataman astray leah working with the experts from around the world is preparing to fire high powered lasers to blast space debris away to a safer orbit yes it is rather cool using simple high browed lasers to gently nudge and decided gently gently match the space race one would lead to another we don't have a solution for space to bring out we have means to reduce the scale of problem and defer the doomsday event so we get more time space based laser technology dates back to the one nine hundred seventy s. and now has a myriad of applications that already make a real difference to us down here on earth but it's this latest use of laser ranging technology to clean up the cosmic junkyard around our planet that's capturing global attention it's the biggest clean up if it ever the same and this

corner of the universe at least madame holland al-jazeera. this is al jazeera these are the top stories three large explosions followed by heavy gunfire have been reported in the heart of the somali capital mogadishu the blasts targeted somalia's criminal investigations department headquarters as well as a local hotel so far no reports of any casualties the area has been a frequent target of al-shabaab fighters. u.n. lawyers are reviewing new immigration regulations being put into place by the trumpet ministration in the u.s. under the plan people caught crossing the border at places other than official border posts won't be allowed to present claims for asylum civil rights groups call the move illegal it comes at a time when caravans with thousands of people from central america are making their way towards the u.s.

israeli border it's known as the right to return march and every week israeli forces have been targeting the palestinians with live fire more than two hundred people have been killed. those are your headlines so far today the news continues here on al-jazeera after the stream i will see you very soon i'm back with a tangy tomorrow. in twenty twenty tokyo will host the paralympic games in the nation has a troubled history caring for people with disabilities when used examines japan's disability shame on al-jazeera. what do the results of the u.s. midterms mean for democracy across the country today shall we unite us in a panel for special town hall but we also want to hear your thoughts so send us your comments your twitter answer to.

no single party control over the u.s. government has and it off the democratic party. in the house of representatives in choose safe midterm elections the result is a stinging blow to donald trump at the end of a series of races widely seen as a referendum on his presidency yet a much heralded democratic blue wave didn't quite materialize republicans held on to several government offices and even tighten back grip on the set it has what president trump and other major political leaders say to about the results hopefully we can all work together next year to continue delivering for the american people including on economic growth infrastructure trade lowering the cost of prescription drugs in stark contrast to the g.o.p. congress a democratic congress will be said with transparency and openness. and that

the public can see what's happening and how we have sex and that they can weigh in the american people have given us divided government which they've given us most of the time since world war two they seem to like about a government and i think the message is figure out what you can do together and do it. political pundits are already trying to make sense of where the u.s. is now heading in the run up to the twenty twenty presidential election but what about regular people we're joined again by our panel of immigrants the u.s. and their family members to get their thoughts first up we have jeannie when she's president of voice of vietnamese americans and she came to the u.s. as a refugee at the end of it now war sorting out some marilyn is just you seeing he's founder of american sikhs for trump and is an entrepreneur who immigrated to the u.s. from india thirty years ago from albuquerque new mexico we have a compass a gora she is a patient educator who worked as an oral surgeon in mexico she's joined by her

husband add to the sagada and he is a veteran and a pistol instructor with the national rifle association in minneapolis minnesota we have. he is an accountant an immigrant from pakistan is joined by his daughter son now she's studying public health policy at the university of minnesota she was born in the u.s. and we have seven and she joins us from portland oregon president of the republican muslim coalition she immigrated to the united states from pakistan hello everybody it is good to have you reunited again so it's been a year it's been a lot of yeah lots of things to talk about i just went through your various twitter accounts i found the it's donald j. trump this was from november the six demanded success tonight thank you to all seventy you going to own to posting that one to retreating at one. well we won the senate and we've strengthened a republican hold on coming confirmation hearings and

a lot of who believe we have another supreme court nominee and think it'll go through much smoother now that we have control of the senate so are you feeling that you're doing so much winning right now as a republican. not so much that we were disappointed to see us lose a few races in the house and obviously democrats stepped up their game but it gives us more opportunity to work much more harder for the upcoming next election gini you all smiling i mean you're looking positively radiant today is that because of the midterm election really i was very happy that the democrats took over the house because and this now we have some check and balance we need a lot of check and balance it would be better if the senate all still was controlled by the democrats but the given is that we can't we couldn't we didn't so for now hope that the democrats will move on and speak for the people and help with all of the things that the concerns that people are concerned self especially gun

violence just happened last night we need more bad gun controls in relations reform we need that and then we also need to make sure that the deficit the budget deficit change and we should. move the. budget more to what the poor people at the id i think put it all see is that just being to cut the tax cut for the said and more some of that to help you've got a whole plan ahead and it's only three days now why don't get to raise the minimum wage for teachers but i think many older people and the poor very concerned by the social security cuts and also or maybe can maybe get happening because it's already been set by mitch mcconnell you know it's interesting that you mention the checks and balances because. there are people online to feel exactly the same way and just say heard you've been there so i'm going to give this one to you this is shonda on

twitter who says the midterm elections were like a break applied to a runaway train it was a relief to many it showed that a check and balance system still exists in the country and not just employment and money and economy they aren't everything respect is a most important justy. the midterm election are going to be first of all i was not. a tremendous victory it was like present from state it was almost a complete with tree for the republicans this was historical that the senate in the senate republicans did add forty five more seats all the three important states on hio florida and georgia which are very crucial for the two thousand and twenty lections were retained by the republicans and also the house it was as was again you know the democrats did get the house but if you go back

historically president obama at this time it lost sixty eight seats whereas republicans have only. done it with twenty eight seats so overall it was a good mandate for the president because whenever all the candidates that he supported did very well he out of his eleven can it is that he supported nine one it was a clear mandate for a president from support and i think democrats getting the how else will bring the both both leaders leader pelosi and present trump has. have you know talked about uniting and working in a bipartisan way but what democrats have done in past two years it seems very hard i think that what they'll do is this chart. and all kind of. throwing monkey wrenches and it will be a. dead log i don't think we're going to get much from the government in the next

two years and just check in with a cigar half back and. only make i do drowning in a blue wave and me and mine are. yeah. you know i got it was a chain my friends swimming in it and then anthony's probably drowning at my right he confessed. well i think that i could see that the country won because it was a show like a really prove that the a citizen isn't just an intense something in the country because they don't like the way that it's running now and in principle only in keeping me in mexico you know that was running for the republican governor there are now we get democrat and almost all the position we're getting for democrat. the position one in dan blue sat so we are happy for that. and to

me. very depressed actually. i should know our depression this is an empathetic chuckle go had acne like you know it's a roller coaster always are you throwing up on your how to step i know we're going to start to climb again you know i think that i think a you know i was very disappointed that the blue went really hit mexico as hard as it did and now all of our congressional delegation now is going to be democrat that's disappointing so we don't have any republicans represents in washington d.c. anymore that's that's part of it the partners the governor that came manners very staunch liberal talking about additional gun laws and everything else like that and jeanne you don't understand but one thing is gun laws additional gun owners are going to help anything because the the legal people are already

a band the law is needed it's not gun laws we need we need people laws we need judges and stuff that are there that will go out there and do something with these people we don't need open doors or revolving doors. and that's the problem but be democrat these not just you saw they're going to do that we need to think about you know immigration economy you know a show and so it's not joe's. republicans i think that there are other points about democrats that they can now improve. in your mexico older state. by right here you're saying that it is not just about the gun issue and that we just got a tweet on that but i'm going to tease our audience and save it for a little later in the conversation because i still want to stay on the midterms now we haven't heard from santa a.j. and i want to share what several people noted was there highlight from these elections this is she should run the handle who said during the selection female candidates smashed more barriers in history and the results showed that when women

rewrite the rules it works we reached record breaking numbers ninety five women were elected to the house and the previous record was eighty four so for a visual eyes ation of what that looks like here are just a few of those women are iranian american muslim native american gay african-american latino american you can see some of the groundbreaker right bear we actually got a video comment on the same point so i want to share it with you because this was a highlight for kate gormley had a listen women are role models for our daughters and granddaughters and important leaders for our country having our number of women running for and when elected to office is going to have an immediate impact and we may see a multiplier effect down the road and that's a good thing for our democracy because a team that works together with varied experiences and perspectives is smarter and can accomplish more our nation needs the talent and energy of all americans either

in her manner or women whiny black or brown so a record number of women running was that highlight for you some of. oh absolutely in my own home state you showed our rep ilhan all of our so happy so happy that she will be representing us and across the country there were firsts in many states first native congress want women and native muslim women muslim women and muslim or a senator women senators women governors it was it was incredible to see to i do what i'm thinking about is people are listening to you because you're living in the face for i wouldn't is all over the world alone trying to think well what difference does it make what difference to these election results make in every day life so what's happened in this past week what's going to be different for you

well i think one of the things that we have seen as sort of those in particular we. choose number off a great diversity people that we lack the diverse people just like we were. women and in those african-americans there is our governor's running mate is a native american first time we need american oneness. stude wide election and so what this will do i think is bring in the perspective from the diverse groups that now join. the legislative bodies and hopefully they will talk about some of the issues of well people that have been neglected in the past. doesn't want to highlight

or are you would you say can you repeat it now what with what's been your highlight for me ten elections what was the state with their own money yeah what what what if you go to bed and wake up in the morning thinking now now i'm in a good mood about this. well we are going to go ahead with the make america great agenda that's been going on with. i don't think this midterm elections make any difference to. president trump what it might do is it might now. if if the if the democrats in the house. are not working in a bipartisan way the president from can blame everything on the house and say hey you know i tried like the health care like the immigration bills. you can always blame the house for not passing those but if the house works with him i think it would be a good thing and president trump can take credit for that i think there are more

better chances of the immigration bill and the health care bill now going through reform human getting passed because now democrats are in the control of the house and if they don't take it seriously if they don't do anything about it then they will be blamed after two years so i think it has a positive way that maybe you know some of these issues might be resolved so i am from funmi i was very happy that we had many vietnamese americans came out and run for the election and many of them got elected so at cost the country we have now eight bit emmy's americans over the got elected we have one of the enemy's american coalesced women reelected in from freida she's from the democratic by the and for that was the has been a very republicans so stephanie mophie was reelected with well very proud of that across the nation will also have a term when you get elected in

a massacre sat house delegate from essex and then we also have. from california many are the difference do you think that will make a change of policy it's going forward in the us yes i think there is the wave underneath that all these people and normal people who did not see that running before and now they're coming out and they will make a difference president should have thought twice before he does anything else now because these people. and bring the names the voice of the people in these refugees we were refugees and now people are very upset of how refugees being treated. across the border even that was that caravan that being mischaracterized president. very much because we can remember when we came out on the c.

one hundred towns in the traveling on the sea we were refugee little coming ashore and were you thinking about when you were voting early on this week many of us many of these americans especially the younger ones voting and thinking of that the human. aspect and then they were very upset when they heard the characterization of immigrants and refugees. because you know the only one again your mind is on the same wavelength as so many of our community members because you talked about what you felt as you were going to the polls we got a video comment says our. new york's first undocumented lawyer and he told the story of what he was thinking about when he went to the polls what was on his mind in his heart and here's what he said. donald trump has created a climate of fear and hopelessness the white house has targeted not just undocumented immigrants but also children green card holders even u.s. citizens so this election is not just about a few policies or even comprehensive immigration reform this election is about

restoring our values as a nation of immigrants so that everyone from around the world can still come here and feel as inspired to pursue that american dream so my or i could see you nodding your head as say as i was talking there were you thinking. i'm angry with him and you know i think that like a community we need to truce in new york government and we need to be safe in our house in our in no risk date in our country and like in the ground i can tell you even if you are serious and you feel like you have been in place that you don't be a step that put all this discrimination that a president approved because we can say with this speech that he is always talking if they hear a group that discrimination and a person that is this shift in a country can't do that because everybody is looking what is he saying even the key it's so it's like it's right there where you get he palka about women about

immigrants about their human rights are i don't agree with you and i think you don't have the whole you know me. as a with my x. now card women our children that has softened so what did he say about immigrants he's always been serious fans of legal immigration all you want when you're trying to do well we may sound like a little rich and we all should be he's never going to get legal immigration and he has you can't do one here said anything bad about children or immigrants you're just reading it to say if you know you're not doing it the characters you play out without facts you're just sick you were in yesterday's press conference president drum said everyone that you don't care how do you know it was that. same that that we might have said it's right at college that we're mad that it's not just put out men less for the president he is that you have to these countries to cheat she's supposed to be the first person that we need to trust people don't trust and

donald trump son i can see you looking on the edge of your she seemed go ahead. you know. i just continue to think about this deportation camps and all the kiddos that are there and now i know that we had massive deportations during the obama era i understand that and i understand too that when you vote for a candidate you support a candidate that doesn't mean that you agree with everything that they do and i'm saying that for the obama administration i'm saying that for other administrations but kids being placed in deportation camps and being denied basic rights this is going to be plucked intergenerational trauma it doesn't and this year or in the next years this trauma and this pain continues on and hurts communities for the future so that is one fact i can give you the trumpet ministration is control. well i think juvenile offenders have been in there are many juveniles and attention

all over the country for illegal crimes and other issues so you can't just say that that was only because of president that our criminal justice system has punished a lot of young kids all day long with somebody you agree with me you are going to the justice system is going to marry that's the main concern is a humanitarian saddles are your assets mean anything no nobody i say i hate so much how do you make me want to i'm seventy sentence sure if a child commits a crime they will be punished for it and sadly they're probably these some of these children were brought here by their parents illegally and so the government didn't have any of their option but to place them and you conscient facilities and now they've been placed with foster care or other. accommodations i think you're talking about people go ahead with your sentence you want to get out if an american citizen also commits a crime the child is thinking away when the when the parent is incarcerated and is

put into foster care so why should the legal is going to be thing. better u.s. citizen if american citizen mugger does something wrong a child is taken away when i hear that point t.v. i didn't hear your point i had i think done a different way there are ways that you can be done to hide it either human and humanitarian aspects of the us right now all over the world everybody looking up to us and they very concerned that we don't act with him when they tarion ask of values and the more. people write our visit. yesterday we're given what president. jimmy and jesse let me just here let me just just point threw that out and go ahead you know why do we treat the immigrants different than we do our ask you and that's what the people expect us to treat illegal immigrants

differently than we treat americans and says if you committed commit crime you're separated from your family period when these people are coming across the border illegally people are not legal and so i just aren't exactly is that i have i hear a lot of a i he disobeyed going back and forth amongst you we hear the two positions republican position and democrat position there as well but i mean it's probably going to yeah and i hear that we're going to take this for because one show is never enough for immigrant town hall but i am curious about the civility with which americans are talking to each other about these critical issues a.j. can you sum it up for us are we so polarized right now in the u.s. what would you say the atmosphere was like oh i think one of the things that's happening. all resident. bigotry white nationalism. muslim.

a short so with the g.o.p. in control of the house cavanagh's confirmation although disheartening was almost inevitable i watched pretty rough blissfully while cavanagh testified and i was simply astounded by what i observed i did not see the tempered reserve of a judge what i did see was at the end of the day this is politics and i'm convinced that the votes that resulted in his confirmation were not votes of conviction rather these were votes of political survival. eradicating leprosy in cambodia relies on education and treatment in equal measure on the following him body early you know disability to get jail free live be waived until three year old four year more he will have this ability to play it again and in no way the next generation of antibiotics may just be late taking at the bottom

doha i'm kemal santa maria welcome to the new street the midterms one great for donald trump so now he's back to using presidential power in the past few minutes donald trump said he signed a proclamation which will deny asylum to anyone else in the us mexico border illegally and look at what that might mean for the so-called migrant caravan making its way through that ferry. also in the greater reminder amongst all. the politics of the jamal khashoggi case is that this is ultimately about one man turkish authorities have now officially called off the search for his body believing it was dissolved and pulled an anguished response from the church peace fiance genders and even the cooler month of november wildfires proving a huge problem in california in the north thousands of hectares have already been consumed by the flames tens of thousands of people have been forced to leave and there were fires closer to the open area of the sentence where a montana judge told construction on the keystone x.l.

pipeline a move hailed by and by mental groups but slammed by the president as a disgrace amanda chapelle with the reaction to that story. through the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live an al-jazeera dot com all of those stories to come there is some breaking news out of somalia to start with however three large explosions they have been followed by heavy gunfire this is reported very much same there in the heart of the capital mogadishu the blasts targeted some areas somalia's criminal investigations department headquarters as well as a local hotel we are getting would have at least ten people killed this area frequent target of fighters so that's three explosions and heavy gunfire in mogadishu we're hoping to speak to someone in the capital a little bit later on. but moving to our top story after making

immigration a key issue in the midterm elections earlier this week donald trump has turned words into actions the u.s. president has signed a proclamation to deny asylum to virtually any migrants who crosses that southern border illegally the changes basically close off the option of asylum for those who do not enter the country at an official port of entry until now asylum seekers have been entitled to a hearing in the u.s. regardless of how they're arrived this of course all the reaction to the so-called migrant caravan thousands of people from central america are making its way making their way towards the border but we've also of course seen donald trump made similar moves to this before think about the travel ban he placed on people from several predominantly muslim countries and like that case this is almost certain to be challenged in the courts now bit of background the us mexico border it is around three thousand one hundred kilometers long it takes in twenty three american counties on the northern border thirty nine mexican municipalities on the south in

other words there are a lot of potential crossing points there are however forty eight official border crossings and i'm just zooming in on one of them here the type that you might be familiar with from well probably televisions and films you see the large number of cars lining up there on either side going through the gates and crossing the rio grande that is an official checkpoint or an official border crossing one of as we say forty eight of them across the united states border right the details now with kimberly is in washington d.c. for us hi kimberly you've been reporting on this for a while now tell us about what what's actually been signed by the president. yeah well the president has signed as you point out a presidential proclamation i think you spelled it out well and i'll tell you the president is defensive about the questioning of it in front of reporters he just left the white house in the last half hour or so and he spoke to reporters along the way defending the presidential proclamation saying that he understands why

people want to come to the united states the united states is a great country economically that's why people are coming here but his point is is that there needs to be reformed way of getting here based on a merit system so he's pressing for new laws here's what he had to say moments after signing that proclamation i just signed. the proclamation on asylum a very important. people can come in but they have to come in through the ports of entry. that would be is a very important thing again i reiterate we need democratic votes they have to pass new immigration laws because the flooding our country would not let it go but they're trying to flood our country we need a wall we're building a wall but we need it all built in one time and quickly. is very important we need democrat supporter new immigration laws to bring us up to date the laws are obsolete and they're incompetent so it can but he's talking there about changing

the laws further down the track how does a presidential proclamation work however as opposed to an executive order or something does this come in immediately. essentially yes but expect that is going to be challenged also almost immediately and we know already that immigration activists the american civil liberties union they are all working on challenges as we speak their argument is that this violates international law well as domestic law that requires that anyone fleeing persecution has a right to claim asylum regardless of how they enter the united states and so that is going to be the crux of it the crux of the guard government's argument is going to be based on national security based on the fact that the u.s. congress in almost twenty years has not come up with comprehensive modernization of the immigration laws in the united states that the president had nothing else that he could do was compelled to act to protect the security of the country and so he

used his executive power so this is the challenge expect that it will work its way through the federal judiciary in fact the white house is planning on that it knows that is this is likely to go to the supreme court level where it is likely to succeed because of the recent appointment of the supreme court justice brett kavanaugh who's now officially been sworn in and is on the job and we should point out that the travel ban that receives so many federal challenges also ultimately prepare prevailed when it went to the highest court in the land really good point thank you for that kimberly live in washington. studio with us here what have you seen online for this welcome all the condemnation certainly has been swift with this announcement by the u.s. administration to tighten its asylum policy we've seen controversy online as well this comes of course after president trump demanded two tools to stop migrants from entering the united states and ordered the deployment of thousands of troops to back up the border agents along the southern border now the president says this

needs to happen because it's in the national interest. now kenji has a researcher with human rights first and he tweeted out his thoughts i just want to share these with you because they talk about or he talks about how these asylum seekers were already struggling before president trump decided to tighten u.s. immigration policy it's no surprise that some asylum seekers are entering the united states between the ports of entry because this just this morning we were at the san luis board of entry where fifty families are waiting for up to three weeks to seek asylum in addition a federal defender told us that one of her clients tried to present at a port of entry and was turned back and was then forced to seek asylum by crossing the border.
