full let's get the latest i'm shihab rattansi was in washington d.c. for is she out what more are we learning about this boy's death and about him and the circumstances of his death well the boy and his father crossed into the us. on tuesday of last week and then they were paul strong facility to facility first in texas before being moved to new mexico on sunday or monday morning his symptoms or first noticed his coughing hit what we called his glossy eyes were noticed he was taken to hospital he had a temperature of one hundred three degrees fahrenheit and yet the hospital to decide if he just had a cold or simply was suffering from a cold i should say was discharged with some ibuprofen and surmounted by altered he was then taken to a holding facility on a highway for the c.b.p. the customs and border protection even notoriously under equipped facilities notoriously cold the tours are not equipped necessarily to handle the adults they

were designed for let alone a child it was that of the trials sort of exhibiting more sometimes vomiting and so on taken back to hospital and he was dead a few hours later his father remains in custody any reaction from the trump administration and is their willingness on the administration to improve the conditions in these sentient sentance. the new york times about the hold of one administration official when you have that partial government shutdown those it's very difficult to get hold of people in the press office although that spokesperson said was it was quote very sad that was it. yes i mean that the c.b.p. is now appealing to other federal agencies to help it with with health care checks and transporting children and migrants we have to see whether that's actually going to happen whether they have the resources they say now that they will be checking all children with a particular focus under the children under the age of ten for any health issues currently there's no mandatory health checks for these kids who have often traveled

thousands of miles in insanely intense conditions from the south to cross the border but no one really has thought about giving the mandatory checks up until now i've been on them they got a baby at a chicken pox text test test because the people are in such close quarters only some facilities are even equipped to do that so now apparently they will be they will be checked but nervously we just don't know in the c.b.p. says they don't have the money the facilities in fact there was a media cool in the department of homeland security said many of our facilities are designed and built for single adult males the housing of families and children is not something our system has been built to deal with but that is precisely now the policy that is in place de facto because of the trump crackdown on migrant specifically migrants with children she have a tenzin washington thank you that's a professor of law and director of the center on security of race and civil rights at rockets university in the u.s. she explains how gang violence is driving refugees to the border. the estimate is

that at least ninety three thousand people have come in two thousand eight hundred as of september thirtieth that was reported by the government that have come seeking asylum from central america and the primary reason is the rampant gang violence and the lack of control by the government the government is unable to protect its citizens from the gang violence and again violence is actually a result of the one nine hundred ninety six law that the united states passed where it took thousands of gang members in the united states and deported them back to honduras el salvador guatemala where they created two major games the m s thirteen and the eighteenth street gang and these gangs have essentially destroyed those nations and resulted in this mass exodus of refugees any human being any parent across the world that is an unlivable and unacceptable circumstance

so freeing and taking these extraordinary risks of going twenty five hundred miles if not more to the border of the united states to claim asylum is less dangerous than these gang members threats on their lives and the way in which they're being treated in their own country and the other problem is that the police is now either incapable of protecting the people or they are also corrupt and working with the gangs or immigration has been one of the most pressing issues for donald trump during what's been quite a year every day and every tweet seem to bring more controversy another sacking more legal action and accusations of plenty of presents many critics accuse him of spending more time on the golf course and running the country our white house correspondent kimberly hocket takes a closer look at what he does with his day. given his background as a businessman with no prior time in elected office donald trump's presidency has been dramatically different from his predecessors. his public schedule it often

appears a little light it's an accusation trump denies in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country still trump's daily schedule has been under the microscope for months on most days his first meeting usually a daily intelligence briefing doesn't begin until eleven am it follows three hours of what the white house refers to as executive time it's what many others like presidential historian martha kumar call tweeting. tells people what's on his mind. in the morning. on television the white house has defended this unscheduled work time saying the president uses this time to make phone calls and his former doctor reports he

sleeps very little that's probably one of the reasons why he's been successful are now because you know me personally i need more sleep than he's just one of the people i think that just does not require sleep indeed a study of trump's tweets shows he seems active at all hours of the day with no sign of a slackening pace kumar says trump is among the most engaged when it comes to taking questions from reporters enough put down the mike describe the end of november trumpeted gaged in question and answer sessions with reporters three hundred and seven times that's in contrast to seventy times by president obama at the same point in his presidency and two hundred thirty four times for president bush kumar says even though trump's public schedule is blank it doesn't mean it's a blank schedule trump also spend some of his work day in the white house residence instead of the west wing oval office so he can consult with his personal lawyers as the justice department probes into possible collusion between trump's presidential

camp. pain and russia there is an office up there and so it's not as if he's not working he is simply doing what he wants to do without a lot of prying eyes seclusion as a private businessman is understandable but as a politician a public servant who promised to reinvent u.s. politics and shine a light on washington so-called swab donald trump's then public schedule is far from transparent kimberly held at al-jazeera the white house not to northern iraq where settling a feud often means shots are fired with deadly consequences police are pressuring tribal leaders to change a traditional way of dealing with this imran khan has a story from baghdad. in iraq some feuds a subtle like this this video taken two weeks ago shows one tribe attacking the house of another on the outskirts of baghdad these future becoming a growing problem for iraq you'll foresees you say the tribes operate outside of

the little tribal tradition in iraq goes back centuries and was a way of organizing society. in major urban areas like baghdad they have limited influence but in rural areas tribal leaders can enjoy almost unchecked power. power that comes from the barrel of a gun. as long as there are easy to access weapons in the hands of people and tribes then there is no security and tribal feuds continue to take place if there is any dispute between two tribes then the use of force with heavy weapons and armored cars will inflate the tribal feuds. but it's not as easy as simply taking weapons away iraq's tribes have always been useful to iraq's leaders the british use them to quell the rebellion saddam hussein used them in the one nine hundred eighty s. in his war against the americans use them to defeat al qaida during the u.s.

led occupation and more recently the involved here for it is. to help defeat them for that reason they've been given special treatment. while the. police force is trying to educate tribal leaders into using a different approach to settle disputes and the newly passed law prohibits using to settle feuds. with the law must be imposed by the government and to be considered their red line never to be crossed security forces and many iraqis on the streets have risen up to counter such actions known as tribal feuds and vengeance the issue has excessive rated lately and got out of hand. the tribe seem to be listening for the longstanding hostilities don't just disappear overnight and many tribal leaders will be reluctant to give up their weapons simply because they fear the other tribes will melt leaving iraqi authorities with a long way to go before they can be confident the tribes operating within the law.
