do is raise their voice i think he has found policy would be the same those that segment we don't then publics chance that are not i think if tomorrow there was a decree by the iranian government that no. to say that i don't see any change in u.s. foreign policy but the slogans critics say in an era of trump it's a problem of messaging giving his administration political ammunition to use against iran or in some corners of american political society iran supporters say trump is the problem during a visit to tehran nation of islam leader louis farrakhan said trump's policies in the middle east could trigger a global conflict no chance to bring about yet. but he must see. you role being. for you in the world you. not hearing any of you. did great nation.

in the. years when pressed by a local reporter to say the phrase seemingly a political stunt this season civil rights activist responded i know she. will iran and. they have a right to it but i'm not sure. farrakhan has been an unrelenting critic of successive american governments but even for a controversial figure like him uttering a phrase so incendiary in the united states was going to far. for decades the language of protest in iran has been dominated by the three words death to america but opinions have been split and in the wake of more sanctions

iranians are again asking if that slogan accurately defines public opinion here for many iranians it's time to abandon the politics of the past. the slogan death to america is wrong we shouldn't want any country when we want someone. for us. our officials say death to america but some of their children now live and study there. for the slogan is not a good thing because it explicitly calls the other side hostility thank you it's not i never said it i never will not all people in iran say it's not anti-american demonstrations are often fueled by anger even hate speech and despite bearing viewpoints it's difficult to deny us actions have done more damage than any iranian namecalling ever could. when we come back on al-jazeera the british parliament things. thousands of secret documents from facebook but why look

elimination of violence against women that comes just two days after a spanish court failed to convict two men of rape catherine stansell has the report . the streets of the spanish capital filled with thousands of women making themselves heard they're calling for gender equality justice for victims of sexual assault and for an end to violence and abuse. it was one of several demonstrations held in other european countries the need for a cultural shift and to encourage more women to speak out against abuse is what drove many here to attend most of my friends there even though seeking the relationships take their boyfriends control them so much and they can not go with their friends and go outside or go to a party without them men and women have to work together to make these more the save button and go for travel for everything the march was particule. really

poignant for women here after a controversial decision by spanish judges on friday tuman were cleared of rape the judges ruled their attack wasn't rape because even though the victim pleaded for her attackers to stop she didn't physically fight back they were sentenced to four and a half years in prison rapists usually get up to fifteen years the charges that very night the three. no three one of them say if. the woman consent there too they said that the the one thing that concerned by their worth more than i think. why because it was more threat than the woman was no threat then the woman who was not the numbers she did not receive by orleans. so at the end the dodgers decided that there was an abuse you know the rape. sunday was international day for the elimination of violence against women u.n. secretary general antonio terra's said every woman and every girl has the right to

a life free of violence spanish courts received more than one hundred sixty thousand complaints of violence against women last year a sixteen percent annual increase in spain we have a comprehensive compressions and no it gains in the base violence but only when he crap and by that by her marrow experiments six-o. by evidence is invisible story these are the also read these they are not measures there are no progress is there not and there are no free dress for those women that are suffering. is excited by the names of all types. this year alone more than forty women in spain died in gender violence so if it these protestors there's still a long way to go captain stansell al-jazeera the thoughts now of bell a leader who is an activist who participated in the women's rights protest in barcelona she says spain's judicial process needs review. the problem is not that

we just like the year but the problem is that we just who are interesting the slowing ways that are tearing bieber operate the girl beats a girl beats a star the girl was crying while this was happening and the judge just climbed out of the fact that two men raped her these spies are saying already clearly did not constitute rape so the problem is not only the law it's special very very biassed judges wired has protected in other rapists this situation is not going to improve as long as judges who are not making rapists in the way that they should think i'm thinking then i just have not held responsible and just can't walk freely with no problem whatsoever mexico says it has not agreed to shelter thousands of central american asylum seekers waiting in the southern u.s.

border even though they don't trump suggested on twitter that a deal had been reached this is what he said migrants at the southern border will not be allowed into the united states until their claims are individually approved in court we only will allow those who come into our country illegally other than that our very strong policy is catch and detain no releasing into the us all will stay in mexico if for any reason it becomes necessary we will close our southern border there is no way the united states will after decades of abuse put up with this costly and dangerous situation any more now anna maria salazar former policy adviser to the u.s. special envoy for the americas and she told us this issue is very controversial in mexico itself. i don't think it's a done deal but i don't doubt that there has been conversations between the incoming government which by the way the new president will be sworn in next saturday's who are pretty much less than less than a week away from having

a new president in mexico so i wouldn't doubt that conversations are taking place between the incoming government and the white house this conversation has been also been taking place with the current government which has been reluctant to sign on to any document by which the mexican government would keep a silence seekers in mexico in part because of it has to do with resources in part it has to do it would be criticized in mexico if the mexican government would accept it such in a green mint but there may be a way i mean i think what they're going to try to do is to reach a some type of. informal agreement by which mexico would keep them which would keep the caravan or at the keep the migrants here in mexico and tell the situation is in the united states but it's very controversial here in mexico. brazilian president elect or is revamping the country's foreign policy that includes cutting relations

the main difference is the fact that brazil is not u.s. we don't have the same power of the u.s. . indeed brazil sells at least five billion dollars of beef to egypt to the middle east and gulf nations produces fear they could retaliate if the move goes ahead also not it has added fuel to the fire by saying palestine isn't a country and therefore shouldn't have an embassy here breaking with longstanding support for a two state solution to the palestinian israeli conflict but. brazil has always behaved as an intermediate or a not a participant in the conflict we hope it remains that way for brazil sic for its long standing prestigious as a nation that respects international law oh but also noddle has been nicknamed the tropical donald trump issue. for multilateralism to a strong alignment with washington this is brazil's foreign ministry its new boss
