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 used 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. he went into labor waiting in a traffic jam a hospital was among the buildings reportedly completely destroyed 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

him is the idea of president emmanuel merkel but some are not attending it looks like president trump will be among those who'll be in paris but will be skipping the forum when global leaders last met together in new york at the u.n. in september it was pretty clear there are increasingly different visions of the way the world should work trump talks of strong independent nations putting their own people first while mark rolls stresses cooperation through multilateral institutions like the un america will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance control and domination. only sessions we shall support those working for peace and humanity unesco the conscience of the united nations the human rights council the international criminal court unaware for whom we're increasing our support. bernard kushner is a former french foreign minister. and i worry about nationalism because this

addition of nationalism. even in europe and the foreign minister so many new. overseas addition of nationalism are very dangerous because too much nationalism and drive will drive us to war. the reason leaders from about eighty countries are gathering here a commemoration of a hundred years since the end of world war one that war was followed by increasing nationalism particularly in germany the league of nations forerunner to the united nations failed after the us didn't join it because of opposition from hardline republicans why is opposing the me one said history doesn't repeat itself but it right james plays out zero peris. russia is summoning the austrian ambassador in moscow it says one of its retired army colonel spied for russia he retired five years ago but is accused of working for the russians since

one thousand nine hundred russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says he's unpleasantly surprised by the i guess. the. turkish police have officially ended the search for the body of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi however they say the investigation into his death will continue jamal shell has more from istanbul. with this latest bits of information on some of the question or of where is the body of the late journalist amount of casualties there are still several other questions that remain unanswered not least who gave the order for the assassination of the journalist who is implicated in its and why the saudi authorities despite officially claiming that they would cooperate with their turkish counterpart so far have not only refused but possibly even tried to tamper with the ongoing investigation namely sending in

chemical experts to destroy evidence but also refusing to allow for that cycle sorties to search once again the consul general's home after they had managed to get those samples of chemicals as well as i said in the well in the garden of the consul general the turks have been requesting for several on several occasions over the past few weeks to be allowed to enter again the saudis have refused to another big question is the residents of that home the consul general himself why did the saudis feel the need to with him away essentially take him away for extract him from turkey despite the fact that the authorities here in istanbul explicitly said that they would like to speak to him he's not only a witness to what's happened inside he was in contact and in touch with jamal khashoggi prior to the journalists answering the consulate and also you obviously the evidence in terms of the destruct well what is possibly believed to have happened to his body was collected in his home there are questions whether he is

allowed to talk whether he is under some sort of controlled or house arrest in saudi arabia or even possibly something much worse a lot of people now wondering whether the turkish authorities will be allowed to question him as a key witness to this. at least seven people have been killed in a fire at a housing block in the south korean capital seoul eleven others were injured but the death toll could rise fire investigators say sprinklers were not installed in the low cost dormitory style housing used mainly by laborers and students. now the world chess championship begins in london between two players in their twenty's or helped change the image of the sport in norwegian i guess carlsen became world champion when he was just twenty two but his american challenger fabiano corona is a year younger and a special talent they even chess experts undecided as to who will win the winnings has more in the world of chess that could be more than one grand master the highest

right in the guy but i can only be one world champion in the men's guy and that's going to be decided over the next few wait on hold while in central london just two men head to head the twelve guides the defending champion norwegian magnus carlsen has helped change the image of chess world champion for five years and he's only twenty seven he has the highest rating of a player in history even getting into magazines and films and t.v. have sometimes made approaches in this must be good for the game it's never been my man motivation i just play for the love of the game just as they can more and more of an important part of my life and. i mean just the plain part i don't care so much about the other stuff anymore he's opponent fabiano caruana the new kid on the board has been given a genuine chance of victory by chess experts his mother encourage him to take up the game as a small boy in brooklyn and he's been absorbed by it ever since it's taken him so

what's been called the most eagerly awaited title match in chess history do you think this is your profound no i is making chess cool. so i think that chess has definitely come in color and and there are a lot of people in the celebrity world movies and music who who have an interest in chess. so i think it's definitely gaining more exposure. and i also think that chances are there's a great thing. and definitely can be very beautiful and can also be cool and and accessible to the larger audience do you have female support for this much do you have female support for this match i don't think so women hate me i recalled. thank you magnus this prize money on offer is over a million dollars it costs over one hundred dollars per ticket for some of the four hundred spectators per day in a venue customized chess millions will watch streamed coverage around the globe if

it's tied at six six after twelve goings by the end of november there would be a speed tie break but whoever wins the profile of tournament chess is about to move forward. top stories for you want to see where the president of sri lanka has sacked all two hundred twenty five members of parliament this comes amid very tense times after president mutha part of that is then a fire his prime minister ran a wickramasinghe and replaced him with the former president mahinda rajapaksa. other news the u.s. president has signed a proclamation that would effectively deny asylum to any migrant crossing the southern border illegally it closes the option of asylum to those who don't enter the country at an official port of entry until now asylum seekers have been entitled to a hearing regardless of how they arrived i just signed. a proclamation asylum

very important. people can come in but they have to come into the force of ensuring . that the baby is a very important thing they've been three large explosions followed by heavy gunfire in the heart of somalia's capital mogadishu these twenty one people killed in the blasts targeted somalia's criminal investigations department as well as the hotel so half the area has been a frequent target of target of al shabaab. then but then i pulled many dead bodies from the burning cars one of the cars exploded next to a public transportation vehicle and there were many people in it including women and children the number of casualties is unknown as bodies are still being pulled from the burning cars. i mean it was a huge explosion up to now thirteen wounded people who are dead bodies but we still don't know the exact number of dead it may be more than that but turkish police

have told prosecutors they have ended their search for the body of jamal khashoggi sources of told al jazeera traces of acid were found at the residence of the saudi consul general in istanbul it's believed body may have been disposed of using chemicals and a fast moving wildfire has forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes in northern california authorities there say seventeen thousand homes and commercial buildings are in danger of catching fire reports say several people including firefighters have been injured that's a look at your headlines here on out as the inside story with richelle carey is up next. one hundred years after the end of world war one there is another war one of world

vision's ideologies of the french and u.s. presidents classes leaders gather in paris for imitate events how dangerous are these differences and how close are we to another global conflict this is inside story. of the program i'm richelle carey it was the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month and became a pivotal moment in world history and marked the armistice agreement that officially ended world war one and this weekend one hundred years later we are some more than fifty countries are gathered in france for commemorative events but the solemn occasion is being overshadowed by deep divisions between transatlantic allies this week the french president call for a european army to defend itself from potential threats from nations such as russia

china and markedly the united states and global philosophy is at odds with the u.s. president on a nationalist america first agenda how stark are the divisions between those ideologies of trump and mccrone there's a lot to discuss with our guests. jordan on how the u.s. got involved in the first world war. 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 guys face more militarist country which is just the fall face so in the european powers that had gone to war in the first place even so kazan says the impact of the war on us 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 torpedo the cargo ship aztec 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 we're moving doing what one can teach us is that it's crucial for americans for fuel 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.

joining us now from coventry via skype david lisi is lecturer in french that he set warrick university and coeditor of contemporary france and in berlin thorston inventor director of the global public policy and to welcome to the program gentlemen we appreciate it so there's been a a lot of late up to that this commemoration these anniversary events and paris and over the past few days french president mandela made a call for a you or european force to defend europe specifically naming russia china and the u.s. i want to start with you david how did those remarks strike you. well in many ways i think this is this is nothing new it in some ways than that cromwell he he's positioning himself as a kind of dominant leader of the french nation and of course richard is perceived to be a threat by many european powers including germany in the u.k.

that the difference here there of course is the image to the u.s. a sensual challenge now this comes in the context of donald trump threatening to withdraw u.s. funding from nato and micro is a real he's a real fun of the the so-called supranational bodies so particular the european union and also nato any sees the french role in both of those organizations being significant so for micro in some ways this is an opportunity this isn't self as being a leader of those two but when i was asians and say france has been pushed to the world stage i think he's recent jostling for position here in many ways i think we need to draw a line between the rhetoric of the macro and the reality is a situation a chronic trump appeared to enjoy a very close personal relationship whereby here in the rhetoric around what micron is saying this appears to be sort of more of a challenge in a position of trying to force france to the top of the national agenda so i wouldn't i wouldn't read too much into this and are are your parents even on on the

same page with that crawl when it comes to that david i'll get to that just a moment or sense i wouldn't say so no i think macro is if he has his own political agenda to try and means of course this is a man here is actually very in popular moments domestically in france he's somebody who needs to. popularity in in france and he's concerned i think of it secular about his domestic economic agenda his came to power promising economic reforms to the french state nobody's been seen yet and so really there are people in france wondering what exactly is going to do now whenever a french president looked to try and position himself as a kind of key of eda overseas this is usually their popularity and supply a challenge to so macro. so it's left in a way from his lack of popularity when you look at the u.k. the it is i'm going to go for example in threes may in the u.k. there's clearly a sense that actually european defense agency or you can i mean it's not going to happen it's not something which is a priority and in particular because of the case context of break this that's

playing on the number one priority the moment so micro in some ways is an outlier ready enough and either say to reduce your own rhetoric around him across the political domestic agenda and anything else person how did it strike you when. that way. i mean that the context seemed pretty reasonable it was a speech or remarks he gave leading up to the anniversary of the end of the first world war where he warned against the poison of aggressive nationalism that is spreading in europe again and across the world he warned against the aggressive author of terrorism of china and russia and against the division that europe for the internal division that europe divisions that europe needs overcome those are all very reasonable remarks what he said with this kind of real european army that he wanted and also this off hand remark that it's partly put possibly also directed against the u.s. that struck me as somewhat odd i mean it's it's partly in tradition with some of

the some of the previous rhetoric but it overshoots the previous rhetoric i think quite considerably and i'm not sure why charles that it wasn't embedded in a broader policy initiative that hasn't been there hasn't been any follow up in the u.s. and france are allies does it concern you that this is what the rhetoric has become between two countries that are supposed to be allies david i'll let you take that first i do think this way it's kind of a matter of positioning himself is it hearing to be in this kind of long tradition of anti-americanism in france this is something which goes back cities in nineteen twenty and beyond and more recently after the second world war it was a significant level nancy americas in which is of course encouraged by charles to go numb up krum see themselves as being a goal at least in some way seen as kind of directly heritage some of charles de gaulle policy solutions to those ideas around from his role in the world stage don't say in some ways moment for us doing here is kind of

a thing to go as language but in a context where there is no more cold war it's a very different political economic landscape from the one nine hundred sixty one to go in power so we want to bring someone else into the conversation now from brussels theresa fallon's going to join the conversation director of center for russia your. asia studies we appreciate your time and i want to bring you into the conversation and ask you the same question that i put to the gentleman that in the last few days france for france's president mad men while macro and pardon me made reference to wanting a european force to defend europe specifically against threats in a russia china that's not surprising but he made the united states as well i'd be curious to know your thoughts your reaction to those remarks well we saw donald tusk say the same thing several months ago i think this is a worrying narrative especially since transplanted relations have been very strong for the last seventy years and this is not helpful i think this is in response to the trumpet ministration. way the pulling out of iran agreement also climate change

pulling out of that agreement and also the tariff or so instead of working with the europeans the trumpet ministration has unfortunately had the approach of upsetting everyone at the same time allies as well as adversaries and instead of working together with them they've actually turn them against the u.s. now this new program that. the crown has mentioned i mean i wonder how this will work sitting as they do in brussels how this will work with tesco because pesca is made up of twenty five members and this is kind of a coalition of the willing it also pulls in the u.k. which is traditionally not interested in some sort of european armies of this is an interesting creation of a coalition of the willing and how this will affect nato will it help or will it compete with nato in the future is also problematic i think everyone would be happy if europe did more heavy lifting the u.s. is involved in three theaters right now and if your did more heavy lifting in its own region i think that would be very much appreciated and i want to bring bring up

something to a good point that she said that there maybe it is a fair critique that europe could do more of the heavy lifting and some would say that that's what donald trump has been trying to get to it's just maybe not perhaps the most. a diplomatic way that he says things and less is be honest he's actually insulted a lot of allies bit and said things that just weren't actually true about you know they owed the us money etc etc having said that do you think he has a fair critique of course i mean he does have a point to europeans are not doing their share to collective security within nato and. european allies or everybody agreed to a two percent spending goal in terms of g.d.p. and many countries including germany are not moving closer toward that goal at least not fast enough and saw all too many americans including donald trump for

european allies come across as needy whiney allies and free riders. he ticklers this in a pretty crass kind of way but i think he does have an underlying point that europe needs to shape up in needs to invest in its own capabilities in order to be a credible ally that the us also takes seriously and also to prepare for the eventuality that the us will call it quits and no longer on the right and unconditional security guarantee for europe which is not a very improbable consolation in the coming decades us president on a trump is a self identified nationalist he specifically use that word a few weeks ago in a rally he embraced and he said yeah go ahead and call me that. what might that mean going forward what do you see that potentially meaning. well i think it's a very real risk of isolationism isn't there i think and it's clear in terms of the

rhetoric around trump and most recently of course in the midterm election campaign season if as you say not only the nationalist as a kind of in the french time close nationalists us to say you know closing the borders protecting the nation states against sort of foreign influence i think the real risk of course of the u.s. withdrawals as we've been saying from from europe and we draw also those all to educate alliances and particularly when it comes to helping western european countries with that offense the real risk i think is that this heightens it's tension between opposite tension between the likes of trump them across as they try and sort of appear to be the powers in on the world stage the real there is there's also quite serious concerns around the future of the european union of course in the future some of the major powers in europe angela merkel's term who comes in and shortly cries trying to become the lead thank you in in the european union but it comes at a time lag of moments and it's really in elsewhere or at postulating around the

idea of removing their own nation states from the european union so they come the real the real risk this might take would go back to the the package he wanted to stop the program around us ice isolationism just before the first world war and indeed for a second world war well the risk is that the kind of you know the rise of the populace government parts in western europe or us way to russia might lead to some kind of central conflict so that's a real risk i think everyone you know all powers recent try and try to avoid done but still you know france germany western europe well absolutely want to avoid a situation where by their death huge security might be placed risk and traces or what about that there have been a lot of as you would say populace some would say nationalists some would just say a flat out far right leaders that are gaining hole that are taking around and a lot of places some european countries some and south america what is the state of liberal democracies right now. i think they're under threat and things are going

to get worse before they get better as i expect the global economy to be slowing down in europe we see great concerns with hungry and poland so it's interesting that this edu that mccrone has put together did not include poland which is a major. player in eastern europe so we see kind of a paradox with john mccrone because he talks about multilateralism but at the same time he's kind of fracturing the e.u. because there is pascoe this organized group within the e.u. and by just working with this coalition of the willing. carved out of some member states only central eastern european or. part of that region is sonia so he kind of pull it out largely because of. the current government that we've seen an interesting development there with the polish president when he visited the united states he discussed having a camp trunk and this kind of speaks to a much larger issue that poland doesn't feel that other european member states

would come to protect them if there should be any sort of invasion from russia so the fact that a european member states is turning to the u.s. not nato but to the u.s. for kemp trump speaks largely to you know lack of faith in the europeans coming to their rescue or to protect them. you mentioned this a little bit ago about. goal soon will not be on the international stage anymore what does that mean for europe. i mean first of all i think the broader context is that germany has been dealing with its own internal political turmoil for the past year and has been the last year for germany's role in europe and germany is rulon in the world chancellor merkel is weakened as a result once she departs the stage whether that's next year the year there after a new leader will be there the real question is whether we have a functioning coalition government that has

a clear agenda to engage at the international stage that can be done without americal of course her experience at the global stage will be lacking but there will be a new german chancellor and tier she will be able to kind of slowly you know fit fill the field issues but the broader issue is whether there will be increasing volatility and instability in the in the german domestic political situation and that would greatly curtail germany's ability to play a constructive role in europe and beyond ok. david. obviously the brics it actually happening in approved is obviously was indicative of some issues that were bubbling up in the e.u. but now that it is it is happening what do you think it is indicative of in the future what role is that playing in the shifting and changing dynamics in the. what i think i mean first the obviously the u.k. will draw from the european union that would change to some extent the nature of

the group and not usually because as we've been hearing the u.k. traditionally doesn't like being involved in too many in europe but i think the real the real risk is the the knock on effect regs it might have it brings it perceived to be a success and that's very much in doubt at the moment there and the there are some some parties some political parties on the extreme right and. across europe who will look to try and draw examples of bragg's it and to remove their you know if they're successful electorally to review their nation states from from the european union so to that in france of course we've led by no mean of that at the moment currently call it. this is as always try to draw france and from the eurozone in century future in fifty years from the european union it is today we have the nominee of the league in power we've already talked like germany the rise of the ends of the door slam events there's

a real risk of the populace parties using sample from bragg's it and trying to train she some kind of referendum or at least some votes some meaningful votes on their own they don't know then donations states' role in europe i would suggest really this depends largely on whether or not breaks as easy as an economic and political success that's not given any by any means at the moment and it looks as though really the nation kind of the nature of the u.k.'s relationship with europe after the break that will really depend on whether those populists parties in france italy germany elsewhere to try and draw in those examples that are moments i would say you know currently especially given that promise leadership the future of the e.u. is relatively stable it just depends really on how things emerge over the next few years with the u.k. theresa how. does any if the answer is yes how how does russia benefit from all of. the turmoil. i hope that's not too harsh of a word but all the uncertainty with what's happening with so many countries in

europe right now and and the relationship between europe and the us does russia benefit from that in this is russia's long term interests they don't like the e.u. and they don't like nato so seeing a fracturing as we've seen across europe it's far easier to play member states off each other no nato has really helped keep the peace for all these decades and i think it's a shame it shouldn't be underwritten or if if this group can work together with nato i think it would be a very positive thing but fragmentation is always dangerous. the question is you know old wine in new bottles i mean how much funding that's always the key question where's the money coming from and will it replicate what's going on it made a we no one wants that so russia and china we should speak about both of them together because in the national security strategy of the u.s. they put both of them into the same basket and i think traditionally europeans tend to see china as kind of far away nothing that we really have to worry about but

we've seen recent exercises with russia from the black sea to the mediterranean two years ago and last summer in the baltic sea so i think this is kind of showing europeans that you know russia and china are here together performing these exercises and that it's harder to kind of write china off as being for their way also china's first overseas bases open in djibouti which is right here in europeans neighborhood so i think europeans have to think of a larger geo political landscape traditionally your opinion says they don't do geopolitics but don't think they have that luxury any longer the world is changing the world is shifting that's why we're having this conversation it is a completely different world now obviously than it was one hundred years ago everything is different but could you ever see a scenario where there could be another world conflict a world war. of course i mean we should never rule this out and tourism mention the heating up of rhetoric between china and the us

if there is a war between china and the us this will have. very far reaching very very stream is serious consequences saw of course we stumbled into world war one that's the that's the historic history lesson a lot of individuals than expected we got the peace wrong that's what we're celebrating hundred years of armistice and and peace and then stumble again or look into wonder aloud world war two to happen so i think we have a resurgence of nationalism and that's reading round for future conflicts so we can't rule it out but i want you to respond to that real quickly as well when i think i think we rely on people behind the things that we said we would like somebody with a kind of sense of i guess behind donald trump behind someone like me and that car and i kind of i hope you know first long as we've been able to maintain peace in

europe who will we be able to rely on on diplomacy to work its way i'd like to think that regardless of how the rhetoric gets we will be able to avoid you know kind of a war in the same ways a kind in a traditional that's a loss that will and i'm conflict which involves the use of people if not millions of people what is the risk i think now is more like a kind of set logical war involving some kind of cyber warfare you know the real the real risk to china and us complex ok and teresa i don't see any easy solutions or many challenges ahead but i think we all need to work together and with one voice to prevent and hopefully. continue the peace and we should remember all this on november eleventh salut lee it's a perfect final word thank you all for the conversation restate it very much story so fallon david lease and thorston banner and thank you for watching you can see the program again any time if you visit our website at al-jazeera dot com for the

the whole town in northern california has been wiped off the map in scored and seen his face is football rivals get ready to face each other to south america's biggest club cycle for the first time pocket juniors and river plate will meet in the final of the us. so yet another twist in sri lanka has political power struggle after two weeks of turmoil already in this latest development just in the past few hours actually the president has dissolved parliament clearing the way for a snap election nearly two years. it's ahead of schedule go back the problems first surfaced on october the twenty six when president matter of policy to center fired his prime minister rania wickramasinghe he replaced him with this man mahinda rajapaksa a former president who has been accused of war crimes since his ousting with promising a has refused to leave his residence saying the move to fire him is unconstitutional

and illegal let us try to make sense of it all with mel fernandez she is live in colombo minal unexpected once again to say the least. that's right the president high profile or serious enough seems to be making a habit of this two weeks ago he took the country by surprise when he sacked prime minister on of the convincing her and appointed the former president mahinda rajapakse as his successor tonight in fact just a short while ago a news coming out that the president has signed the formal documentation that will see parliament dissolved at midnight that's just about thirty minutes from now friday midnight this comes quite early come. the new constitutional amendments passed by the seriously in the government when he took power in two thousand and fifteen meant that parliament could not be dissolved less than four and a half years into it but with this disillusion as of midnight today it's going to

be. almost three months ahead of time so there are people who say this is unconstitutional that it's a violation of the constitution however we're hearing that the president has signed this into effect come on let's make sure we spoke about here because it's been a complicated situation to start with president. he needed parliament votes he needed a majority there to approve his pick for prime minister that is. the former president now rajapaksa now does this suggest that he didn't have the numbers and that this is a nuclear option almost all just dissolve parliament and start again. it certainly seems that way the language coming out of the government from president seriously and himself form prime minister mind the rajapaksa and all the loyalist was very confident it was almost bravado one expects at this point of time they

said they had not just one hundred thirty needed for the majority in parliament they said they had one hundred thirteen plus however in the last few days we've seen a little bit of backtracking that confidence was a little bit sort of winning as we heard sort of messages and messaging like the fact that when parliament reconvenes which was ability or due to reconvene on the fourteenth of november that it wouldn't go towards that it was just a parliamentary sitting so indications that something was amiss that the numbers game was not turning out to what the expected and now this shocking dissolution of parliament as i said some say that this is a violation of the constitution and i hear from a very reliable source that nominations for a general election will be called as early as the nineteenth of november now that is not confirmed but beyond the fact that parliament will stand dissolved in. about

thirty minutes from now the next move would be a general election now whether this is going to be constitutional with that the government actually gets away with this remains to be seen late friday night in sri lanka or suspect we're going to be talking to you a lot about this more e-mail thank you. two other news in the u.s. president has signed a proclamation that effectively denies asylum to any migrant who crosses the south and border illegally but changes close the option for people who don't enter the country at an official court until now saddam seekers have been entitled to a hearing in the us regardless of how by arrived. i just signed. the proclamation on asylum 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. following this one from the white house kimberley donald trump putting words into actions going to always that immigration would be front

and center and he's keeping it there. that's right this action follows his action of deploying thousands of soldiers to the u.s. southern border with mexico and as a response to the caravan as it's called of migrants that are moving their way through mexico and promising to head to the us mexico border essentially the president is saying that he is doing this and that he has the authority to do this because this is in the best interest of u.s. national security and now he is urging his democratic opposition in congress to support him. 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 at one time and. it's very important we need democratic support or new immigration laws to bring us up to date the laws are

obsolete and they're incompetent they are the worst cause and the country has anywhere in the world. it's only because we don't have the democratic vote so we need democratic votes so we can change immigration will have no trouble whatsoever at the border we want people to come into our country but they have to come into our country illegally. and immigration activists say already they are planning to challenge this they say that this violates international law as well as u.s. law and so they say that they will be making challenges including the american civil liberties union in the federal courts but ultimately as we saw it with the president's travel ban well it did get rejected initially in the courts at the lower level once it got to the highest court in the land the u.s. supreme court it prevailed and that is what the white house is counting on and it also believes that it will have success because of course now donald trump has had

the opportunity to make two appointments to the supreme court not only justice neil gorsuch but also more recently brett kavanaugh they believe that they will win and that they will be allowed to put this in place given the fact i will trump says he has to take this executive action because he says there has been in action at the congressional level to reform immigration for at least twenty years kimberly how could our white house correspondent thank you we've also got in the jeep pama with a small professor in international politics city university in london wants to see you. sure the question can he do this i mean he is doing it but will it and will it stick with it that he's doing it i think for the reasons as your correspondent just cited that if it does get challenged in the courts as it goes further up the system the supreme court will back it the people that he's put the cover know a very hard line on the immigration record is very very conservative and i think

they would support it at the very end of the as a majority what about cooperation that i mean this is a new era now given that the house and congress house and senate i should say are divided now he is going to and he said it himself he's going to need democratic support. yes and i think we're going to look a take a very careful look at the role of the democrats under the obama administration for example the levels of deportations of illegal immigrants reached its highest level in history something like two point seven million deported under obama during the midterm election campaign the democrats were largely silent on the whole issue of troops to the border the birthright citizenship issue for example they didn't really make much of a farce about it they haven't been organizing large demonstrations these have been happening more or less spontaneously by various nonparty groups so if you look at

that and then what nancy pelosi and others said during on election night itself that they want to work in a bipartisan way with the administration and the fact that they have voted for the border wall through the various defense spending bills then i think you need to see a lot of ambiguity for the democrats and possibly quite a lot of support they'll be looking to twenty twenty and they'll think immigration is going to be a big issue then they're going to probably keep quite cautious about that issue so i suspect that he's going to get a little bit more support than you would imagine ok this particular decision right now what do you make of it in the sense that i mean if you look at it from donald trump perspective he's saying yet come in but do it legally in coming through the official ports of entry which you know i mean in a way it makes sense. well when you read it superficially and just the words that it does make sense you think well there are places where you can go and seek asylum

officially and you can be processed through a proper system and the claim is that that is what people ought to be doing however if you look at what the a.c.l.u. has been saying and many other immigrant defense rights groups have been saying is that many recruits. asylum seekers who have turned up to the official ports have also been turned away in their hundreds if not thousands and when lawyers for for them in defense of them have showed up then those border patrol people have gone away and let them let the asylum seekers in so already there are blockages officially being enforced by law enforcement at those ports of entry so i don't think that is actually the real issue they're also saying that they are overwhelmed by the numbers of asylum seekers but actually they processed a lot less people this year last compare the two thousand and know they have ten thousand more officers i think there is actually this is a continuation of the.
