because of a fire that destroyed voting materials and protests rising prices for food and living costs have spread to several cities now in sudan a state of emergency has been declared and at least two people have died. in all the stories of following u.s. president has been defending his decision to withdraw all u.s. troops from syria he tweeted getting out of syria was no surprise i've been campaigning on it for years does the usa want to be the policeman of the middle east getting nothing but spending precious lives and trillions of dollars protecting others who in almost all cases do not appreciate what we are doing do we want to be there forever time to finally find was senior republican senator lindsey graham has called the decision to withdraw from syria a mistake at a joint press conference with two democrats he appealed to try to reverse his decision i don't know how this decision was made it literally came out of left

field it is rattled the world you see north korea flexing their muscle now but will want to leave south group for we do a deal i can promise you that everything that happened in iraq is going to happen in syria unless we change course and i can promise to proceed and if you read very well at this decision you'll have a lot of support across both sides of the aisle. well the announcement has alarmed both washington's western allies and kurdish fighters in syria is a the move will allow i still to gain more ground trance as it's time for other countries to step in and honda has more now from ankara. when iran's president began his visit to turkey there was an unexpected announcement from the white house donald trump ordered u.s. troops stationed in north east syria to leave. neither haasan were hiding or turkey's president's residence or the gun commented on the u.s.

president's tweet instead they stressed their cooperation in the so-called astern of negotiating track talks led by russia. so. there are many steps that turkey and iran can take together to stop the fighting in the region and to establish peace will deepen our cooperation and consultations with iran on regional issues in this direction sudhir or your mobile syria is very important to us and its destiny is in the hands of the syrian people and syria's territorial integrity should be respected by everyone and we two countries fully agree in that regard we will continue cooperation for regional peace and stability . iran and turkey don't stand on the same side in syria's war but have been working together in recent days the u.s. and turkey have worked toward improving their strained relationship which some believe was the reason why rowhani made the surprise visit here an isolated iran has always been concerned about keeping turkey close and knowing where its leaders

stand whenever turkey approaches the united states or the units as it approaches to turkey we know that one of the losers of this. of this report will be the iranians the syrians besides turkey there is no contradiction in the region which may corporate with iran so for them. it's quite vulnerable the u.s. decision to leave syria was seen as a concession to turkey which has been angered by washington's alliance with the syrian kurdish armed group known as the white peachey turkey's president has threatened to cross a border offensive to target why peachey fighters inside syria simply. we know of moment vision the east of the euphrates in front of us they can determine if they want they can go on the ground if they want when the time and place calm they will be buried in the ditches that dog no one should doubt this any turkish military

move into syria will likely have to be coordinated with russia they will also have to discuss and decide if the syrian government or the turkish bacteria and rebels will fill the vacuum the u.s. presence in syria was militarily insignificant but it was a deterrent now will the white peachy fight to maintain territory or reengage with damascus to reach some sort of an arrangement to avert military action either by the turkish russian iranian and or syrian army's who controls thirty five percent of syria's territory which is rich in oil and agriculture is in question but the message from serious power brokers iran russia and turkey is that they will hope to find common ground jennifer there also is iraq and. all i diplomatic editor james bays joins us live from the united nations in new york where the u.n. special envoy on syria has given his last briefing in the job and perhaps a

a basis we felt well forced to find a mr a what did he say about syria stands today. his final assessment his final briefing to the security council and some pretty unusual scenes in the security council they don't normally go around the table shaking everyone's hand that's what we saw today it looked a little bit like a victory lap i wonder how the people of syria will look at that because of course there has been no victory for u.n. diplomacy over the last eight years and the last four and a half years which has had mr de mistura in charge no real breakthrough diplomacy is something that has failed to reach a breakthrough and in fact the only victors in this it seems so far militarily are the syrian government and their russian supporters with their bombardment ongoing of syria as the mystery has been concentrating in the last year under russian instructions it seems to try and get

a constitutional committee for syria that's gone nowhere because the syrian government won't agree to some of the names for the list for that committee which is supposed to meet in geneva i can tell you that earlier this week the russians came up with seventy new names the u.n. said we don't like those names they're very pro regime and that led i'm told to a furious phone call between the u.n. secretary general and the russian foreign minister mr de mistura though putting a brave face on all of this a little earlier i asked him his message to the syrian people in these words i think of going to be some of the last ever public comments from the outgoing special envoy i've been holding the fort for four and a half years i always said i was not going ever to abandon them and what they meant if the u.n. will never abandon him they should know that they have a gun at a terrible thing if they are only actually to confidence in this whole conflict as

i've seen one. there's never been a constant moment look what has been happening we get constantly changes both militarily politically going through the four years and the second constant the syrian people have been constantly suffering in between their. well constant changes he talks about they're clearly the most recent and most significant is that announcement of the pullout of u.s. troops mr de mistura when he addressed the security council didn't even mention that i think he's been wrong firstly does us our allies have as have parts of the administration it's noteworthy to tell you that jim jeffrey who is the u.s. envoy on syria was supposed to be here in new york for the security council meeting in the chamber meeting other ambassadors he decided not to come i think because a major part of his syria policy until forty eight hours ago is now being

dismantled thank you very much our diplomatic editor james bays at united nations well u.s. president donald trump is told republican party leaders he will not sign a bill to fund the government because it doesn't include money as proposed or to war with mexico a temporary funding bill must now be signed by midnight on friday to avoid a government shutdown trump wants it to include five billion dollars for the wall but the budget for border security and fencing is one point three billion a government shutdown would seem more than a hundred thousand federal workers forced to take time off or to work without pay meanwhile the travel ministration has announced that migrants seeking asylum along the southwest border will no longer be released into the u.s. while they claim asylum the major policy change will mean they'll be forced to wait in mexico where their asylum requests are processed the mexican foreign ministry has agreed to accept them but says it still has the right to admit or reject the

entry of non mexicans into its territory human rights groups have condemned the decision. well mexican authorities are continuing to turn away thousands of center american asylum seekers and migrants trying to get us others have been left stuck in shelters often without the legal protections they are entitled to all the abdel-hamid reports now from the us mexico border. it's late afternoon that the chapel of the shelter starts filling up a mix of people brought together by their quest to enter the u.s. . the teacher piniella says a hairdresser from guerrero one of the most violent states in mexico she owned a small cell and every week she was forced to pay five dollars in protection money to the local cartel. violence has been around for a long time but we took the decision to leave in two days because suddenly one saturday they asked us to pay one thousand u.s. dollars or there would be consequences for my family like many wishing to go

through legal channels they were turned away from the border but by mexican authorities given a number and transported to the shelter. about forty five minutes later a second bus arrives among them several deployed tease. this young man was caught while trying to cross a load to do surrounding mountains he was sent back to mexico on the same others here didn't want to speak on camera but told us they were deported on the spot despite claiming protection from u.s. authorities they didn't get what is known as a credible fear interview which should be guaranteed by u.s. law when said his american dream lasted just thirty minutes. this also when asked and his two children little joséphine their misses her mom and whole back in el salvador they were part of the so-called carbon got lost on their way so i ended up here instead of the one i. it's hard to leave the family my

wife didn't want to go she couldn't find the courage to do it and she said she will follow. as a father with children is more difficult or not. the door opens again this time we we twenty three years old who saved most in this he is one of the so-called dreamers children of undocumented migrants living in america he was deported for driving without identification but he says fear was always embedded in him from people really really now. and went through the earth going to these abuses very little bird illusion. will be thrown to india and the chapel was back nearly two hundred people turned back here alone it doesn't matter where did they went through the legal border to try to sneak in there all spending the night together and tomorrow some will leave war will come back. but at the for me to look at this. when our judge in new york has refused to dismiss actual assault charges

in the u.s. interest in poetry is reaching new heights with a number of people here reading poaching almost doubling over the last five years the national endowment for the arts says the biggest increase in poetry readership is among young nonwhite people between eighteen and twenty four and young black muslims are in the vanguard of those presenting compelling poetry to new audiences here in the u.s. today we are joined by three poets who are boosting the profile of the art form tarik touré is a west baltimore born writer whose work examines social justice arts and culture and black muslim experiences his latest book he happens to have just right in front of him is called two parts and it examines faith family and fatherhood so dia bashir is a two time youth poetry grand slam champion and her most recent book seven surveys

the challenges that society releases and black muslim women and offers a spirited message on how to overcome adversity and how i taught twenty seventeen baltimore city youth poet laureate he starts a show with invisible cage listen to my heart go. me to do me to do their god me to do to do do to. capitalism wants to put an end there that's god and me because to them god is wealth but god himself and never been dollar bill graham our same politicians baptized in false dreams but i've been graced with psyching enough to see past the facade and recognize god that's because i've been graced with the spirit of fidel ready to castrate madero with the castro falsetto waging war against minimum wage with the rate of failure kuti him

a koofi witnessing the bloody aftermath capitalism leaves behind when the left behind the machine says you're fine then it takes your struggle and he tries to refine like sugar it's a domino effect god bless how we resurrect then take our bones and add to the shrine how divine death must be that's what the poor man who used to be the floor man before he was a four man before blacks were whole man he knew he was the whole man he needs somebody to hold man they held him down the whole man square cops never cared so today he got to hold hands and pray like say the verify in saddam's mom in the qur'an for me some say dying while fight ensued been on the to me but them people are really down for the cause because if they could they put me down for the cause just because then they were asked now come how come and he will say with a grin like martin muhammad should have known that the marksman already marked him

men who speak against the invisible cage are marked men the invisible hand of karl marx with marks around his neck a stick ca to flush fills in pills or fill fill with. how does one make me pick enormous fear might have caught ken if i never caught on to the post of the gold coast. removing the tumor your brain centric countries attempted to make black men their own prison for profit now all the profits in prison mandela's medallion keeps must live in even though they tried to end next march so i'll make sure that i'm always best the cornell west kid came from the west side livin in the west sin sin come put the government tell them that are meant to tell them that are meant to this poem right here with me to dismantle the invisible cage you were watching poetry on the stream in our community is feeling get her laugh

a lot here says mohammed tall who you just saw perform is a lyrical prodigy that's what it's a livery and performances have always well at me very proud of him in his achievements being poet laureate of baltimore and all another person writes and this is a major she says i became extremely infatuated with mohammad's poetry when i was first introduced to slam poetry particularly his wordplay and use of rhyme and tatum's it's safe to say he has influenced my poetry style and many different ways throughout the last couple of years. you were at a point where you are influencing younger poets out there but i want to talk about how you got started because i know there was a point in your life where you were told you weren't good enough to be a poet. a high school school. and basically they think i have to compete for a spoken word in a specific competition. a year later i transferred schools. and we had

a theater arts class in the drove for that day was to tell a story and it didn't matter which medium we chose we just had to tell the story and i remember a year ago i would've and i said let me i was comfortable in the class everybody loved me i was i want to share this poem with your and when i shared the everybody went crazy well. this is one crazy guy gal but i was like oh you hold that thought that's hot like. it was it was a very diverse group of young people. and then it just took off from there my mentor at the time jacob mayberry he he heard about my performance and he came in met with me after class and he said i want you to come to our poetry club on thursday and so when i went to the poetry club i perform the same paul he was like congratulations you on the baltimore city told you to do and a year ago the view was telling me you need to join this team you need to sign no you have what it takes and i was like no i don't think i have what it takes so as

soon as we left the room i ran to the bathroom of course and secure the border so you put you through. my laptop i got a picture from your twitter profile page and i am wondering whether are you born a poet does that poetry comic in you when you with that little have a head on. when you already have power i think so i think a lot of what you see just like my development created the poetry a lot of the poetry that i speak on especially in the new book that i just published of and it has a lot to do with my development growing up and the things that i saw as a child both tom and triumphs so i think those are really the foundational moments to create the poet that is here today. so we are getting a few questions online and there's a lot of love for all of us. just say put that out there but there are a few questions in how one even gets started so i'll give this one to you tariq

yves writes into the stream how old were you when you started writing and performing and was it difficult for you to find poets you felt that you could identify with. started writing when i was about seven but i didn't perform an actual poem until i was a freshman in college and i basically was richard in my freshman year from football and i mean just have nothing to do basically it was just like. they had a black history month program and i ended up being asked to do something because people knew that i wrote and like mohammed said like you've done reading it and then like is a pause and then i people saw going crazy and i was like. ok i guess this is the thing though so i started publicly sharing my so. i think that for me it was people like. who's a great poet i just came across one of his videos and then i saw watching more like def poetry stuff and i was like i think might want to do that i was interested when i learned i could actually write and participate in the art form it kind of just

took off from there so do you when did you know that you were good when did i know that i was good. maybe. they didn't. i for me it was a situation where nothing i would qualifies as good but it was a situation where i had dealt with. i had to look like a lie and like trying to get into poetry so rigidly i tried out for like different political means and i didn't make it and then i went up to the war at the time i was living in prince george's county and you want to go where baltimore like that so far and sort of i just really want to do this woman just really want to try can we just do this so just me all the way up to baltimore and i prefer and and like they said there's a moment where everyone sat it just take a moment and then. no one even said anything the coach and the found. kind of morris and he was like called my mom's

a friend he was like listen i understand that you all are very far but we need her . and for me that was like wow because i had dealt with like so much rejection like in the process and stuff like that that i was just like oh. dear we're not going to make people wait anymore to see you perform live so i know you're going to get ready while many could does this no more rejection they're so severe will now perform for lay on a message to her niece about the strength and lineage in her skin color and while she gets ready to listen to the nasa taylor ethelred althea writer who explains why susie as work is so important to her people often forget how influential black muslims have been time. from the small any to the black arts but often we do talk about black muslims we only focus on them and so they do use work because she's a black muslim actively transcribing her own history and that kind of follows footsteps a black woman it's what came before so just so you could also write about fighting

so and that's something that i see greatly reflected insidious book seven. for one my niece grows up with too much backbone for men to kneel before huss ten and a tongue as sharp as fire as she asked me to unsee what do you do with skin that screams cover i will tell her right because i could be well so ignorant to tell you not to says the u.s. soldier safe in the melanin in your skin for ink so join your truth but know that they will come for you even when your supro to buy as they had to send for them and their privilege what try to take all the letters up your page to write their legacy and once there is no more ink their privilege will say well i don't see color so i asked god to make you will end for when you are broken and bloody from them you can rewrite your legacy by tenderly caressing your skin because. there is an angel in

you and god sends you a book that rhymes so that you could define the divine in you name one of our prophets who was a poet who song was more of sons to shine for you and she would ask me what kind of poet she does just can love to recite and i will tell her and ensue writing poems that prove like survivors for writers never die we make heartbeats out of syllables and then it's hard out of semi-colons for when my miss grows up with too much backbone for mensa kneel before hustvedt that's only as sharp as fire and she asked me on see what do you do with skin that screams cover i will tell her let it be heard for your skin is the most supreme spoken word. the words of bashir our community is responding and he says the two things that to

dia always puts an emphasis on our speaking your truth i think you just heard her do that and not ending your poems in victimhood with her how i've been able to take and bring a level of wrongness and poetry to a power to my poetry which didn't exist before and another person writes in that she's had the pleasure of watching severe perform and says that she loves it because for me it was the first time as a black muslim that i saw part of myself reflected in poetry so do you feel that you have an extra responsibility that the gentleman i have aside if you don't have you all representing then you're representing him ok. yes definitely i feel like. it's just kind of like you are to have a responsibility. a black person you are you have a responsibility as a muslim and then i'm

a woman i have that responsibility as well this isn't to take away from the fact that you know they have their own intersection i feel like i have a responsibility. to represent all of my voices. you know there are people online that of course that they relate to that may relate to what you're saying but they also relate to the men on the panel also this is a person i read this week a little bit earlier he follows up i've been a follower of these two young brothers for a couple years now and it's really inspiring how talented they are and how well they capture emotions and reflections from the perspective young black muslim men so i want to pick up on that theme to go to this tweet this is jacob mayberry he's also a poet and i've been going through his twitter feed just scroll through it you'll see some powerful performances there he says baltimore spoken word represents the ultimate mixture of message and emotion the power and the writing and the performer we strive to affect change with our poms that they have to be the next level

mohammed what is baltimore spoken words how does it differ what sets apart if i make one point. is actually my mentor that came to me in the classroom. i think a major emphasis placed on poetry in baltimore is that it has to be social justice driven and as we utilize it is more of a tool to build community more so than anything i guess kind of like how the foundation is lead so a lot of the young poets that you see coming out of this out of the city are more socially inclined. and they want to do the work they want to see change occur and i feel like poetry is the conduit for that. i know you know there is a connection you feel there is a connection between the poetry. making social change and really impacting people's lives you've heard that you seen it can you share one of those stories with us so i

was in dallas and literally there was a kid who came to see one of my performances and afterwards he came up to me was les really teary. did a poem about my mother and he said look you know i don't know you but i just had the worst argument with my mother. we just completely just fell out before i came here and he was like everything you say i really think i'm going to go talk to her so for me i think a lot about our relationships and how our relationships with with and all of these systems and how we lose people and the fact that he was able to do that for me was be it was something i really touched me and it was in the first time when they happen but the intensity of the moment really struck me and i kind of just i was just and i was like speechless like are read all these poems are now. ok thank you . i think is very powerful back to bottom which was just spoiled with

you know over and over again is a city that's where we poets peripherally are will continue to thrive and it's going to be so many more years down the line more kids come up you know yes you know you don't come to me on the stream. without performing so i know you're going to go and get ready yeah you get ready and. so are gas for talking about baltimore being spoiled for poets graeme jackson here i think what agree says poetry in baltimore will be as big as hip hop in less than ten years time the world wants content now rap and hip hop nowadays don't provide the same nourishments anymore and here they go on to say you hear the baltimore sound in a lot of national poets simply because they admire and envy the work that we do. going to see taric perform. we need to know about this poem is that it is about african americans in the united states embracing is alarm again from their heritage in africa this is

a beautiful title i found god and i've been pie territory i found god. in a big. i've seen coffees placed atop the heads of felons who smiles because while the mississippi. witness the crackling morse code of tests big double for life ref was due out incinerate a suicide note the a slam on no turmoil but the don't feed into merriam the philosopher malcolm the animal to chabad this ship set sail in the name of jesus hey zeus prophetic nouns inscribed on the broadside of vessels blessed by the highest councils in the land him in cargo aboard it to the lend to turn souls into profit

with the leaven the face children of mohammed in its belly back and forth on the atlantic from a mother raising her shackled hands to the heavens to beg a lot to live in his name so the famished miles of her family fall in once again into chains and we proclaim their shot in the same position distant mother i hope you'll see that the dawn is the ate away drum still shaking us to the atom that sue jude has dignified our posture yet again know that a third of this nation's children are black like you bold like you wriggle like you that kinky hair falls in the spines of crans and valleys and mountain tops we have never had a home here but lord knows we can turn a bando into paradise lord knows we can turn lemons into lemonade left her alone law your down payment just enough us to buy land is religion in cold cash you should see we've made space here bothers arabic gorgeously broken over

a southern twang so unless under our northern bebop can't shake the jazz out us dept can't build the boom bap off our lips for us this is always been about burning masses house to the ground and dancing in the. a stadium full of our ancestors looking on this the ology has always been about a solipsist of justice a parade of freedom marching to the soul of return home so one day the giver of light sees the light or not bass's sees us for our faces and welcomes us back beyond the veil. you were just listening to tora tora way our community has a word about that piece you just heard mama cam tell me the rashad on twitter says what it all some gifts are is to our community and to the world i had the pleasure

of receiving an advance copy of a second volume of poetry from which that piece was just from my thoughts reading that word two parts oxygen is an emotional tour de force resonating on a cellular cellular level it is honest raw and unflinchingly then takes so as you are reading now we actually got a comment live on you tube promise a four four says how do we move black muslim poets out of the nice category and have it seen as a fully muslim or is slavic poetic form of expression and i would also say mainstream then how do you make this mainstream do you think there is a way or does it need to be. i think our responsibility as a poet and with these two phenomena people. to system for. my job is to continue writing and the people who produce the shows will work with them to see if we can get more but our job is to write and convey as authentically as possible. should be our focus as far as

a niche category. is also rooted in expressing our experiences in coming to a slam in being muslim and all of that and all those things intertwine my mother she became muslim by. becoming a part of you know back liberation movement and things like being interested in deeply involved in trying to find herself in a society that didn't want to and then she became muslim because that was the answer for her so they can't be detected for me isn't particularly in each. poets writers all the way for. the position of your poetry is beautiful you i can see you appreciating each other's poetry but i want our audience to see what it's like when an audience appreciates their poetry it's kind of like a wild concept have a look at what i have a jazz the audience is when he gets on stage. probably

going somewhere. never gonna be beguiling. trayvon martin never grew. so did you know the words that is like a song and i. was like especially that it was like as everyone knew that everybody was going right thing yes do the right thing i'm going to start off things like i got a target of about is my literally people come up to him and be like i am and i like the money so. when you're on stage and the audience is feeling you and you are feeling them just in in a word inch if you describe that feeling man it humbling to dia and that it george. so we just got this question and it says looking forward

this is. in your life what is getting your pen going some i'm pushing up for twenty ninth and they say for marty i'm not sure so i can say i'm not sure but we do have a member of our team names like us so what is getting your pain moving for twenty nineteen. honestly. it's like for me i feel like i'm finally in a place where i'm comfortable with my vulnerability in poetry a lot of times when poets start out it's like you know we're saving the world and now i'm phone or a ball and i love it so that's where it's going it's just our ability. to think this person is just trying to create a world where i feel comfortable and safe to be able to express myself in feel comfortable and to get lost but. i think for me it's just knowing and recognize and right now the archiving historian art and you know the books that i've read all the

people whether intentionally or not intentionally did so just to be able participate is amazing poets writers it's been such a passion haven't you on the strain but he can i will see you always online at a.j. stream take everybody. young african footballers are travelling to thailand in hopes of becoming professional players but they risk discrimination and exploitation. when east

investigates thailand's football factory on al-jazeera. called the muscle much the same as now being held in pretrial detention for two years what is his crime. why hasn't he been tried yet why hasn't justice been applied in this case is he detained because he's a journalist has journalism become a crime have moles become a tool to silence weiss's of truth we will continue our news coverage with professionalism and impartiality our work will remain credible and accurate but journalism is not a crime incarcerating journalists is not acceptable we demand the immediate release of our colleague mahmoud to say and all journalists detained in a gyptian jails free mahmoud's and all his colleagues we stand for press freedom.

there's nowhere to hide do you think we're going to see some kind of c. change in the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia i haven't said it's a right wing conspiracy or anybody's conspiracy but from own al-jazeera. i. hello i'm in london with just a quick roundup of the top stories for you the u.s. justice department has charged two chinese hackers for attempting to steal trade secrets and compromising the computers of western governments are accused of being part of a hacking group linked to china's main intelligence service patty colleen has more

now from washington so what's going to happen now to these two individuals will likely nothing it may affect their travel plans in the future but it seems highly unlikely that especially since the u.s. government says these individuals work for the chinese government that the chinese government would simply hand them over extradite them to the u.s. to face trial so as long as they stay out of the country that has a. treaty with the united states probably not going to have much actual concrete impact as for the companies it was interested in the government the u.s. government wouldn't say exactly which companies were affected how how impacted they were what was taken they said that they didn't want to do further damage to the companies that they were working with them only describing them as a who's who pretty much of american industry and it wasn't just the charges that were made it was the language that was used that was so surprising let's hear from f.b.i. director christopher ray and how he summed this up no country poses
