more wintry weather down tools a southeastern corner and again athens struggling to get to around seven degrees celsius or so some of that disturbed weather will of course affect the far north of africa particularly across the northern shores of libya where we could see some disturbed weather over the next day or so temperatures in benghazi at around seventy degrees a try seventy three bats. there with sponsored by cat time he's. in the lead on the line i want to start here on my laptop with a tweet or if you join us on saturday. there was a rush of adrenaline will be felt this is the moment that we have been waiting for this is a dialogue the government has a legal protest and structure police to use force to disperse the crowds everyone has a voice vote for lots of different reasons what's different types of bricks join the global conversation on al-jazeera.

welcome back you're watching al-jazeera the whole run a reminder of our top stories u.s. president donald trump has described serious war assigned to death while defending his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the country still hasn't provided a timetable for the military exit he announced last month. that a team of u.s. prosecutors is in the turkish capital of ankara to discuss the possible extradition of business been for to the girl and he says the mastermind behind the twenty sixteen failed coup to overthrow the government. and president trump congressional leaders to return to the white house on friday after both sides failed to reach a deal to end the partial government shutdown trump said he's prepared to let the

shutdown go on until he gets his mexico border war funding. the us congress starts its new two year session on thursday transfer republican party will have a slightly larger senate majority but democrats will be in charge of the house of representatives. reports our priorities will be a challenge to trump on many levels. new year new session of congress the public's expectations of success are high the american public is so much more engaged than they normally are they are paying attention to politics they're not just letting things happen after the november elections the republicans retain control of the senate but it's the democrats who now run the house their ranks are younger more liberal more ethnically diverse and filled with many more women. they want to check president donald trump's policies and to pass legislation of their own immigration

reform investigating saudi arabia's ties to the us and expanding health care coverage. but first ending the federal government shutdown how dangerous is this and why we need a wall the president wants up to five billion dollars for a border wall between the u.s. and mexico and he says he won't reopen the government unless he gets that money democrats say they won't give the president money for anyone that means eight hundred thousand federal workers aren't being paid and a variety of federal services are not available until further notice the president seems to be stuck on a wall or barrier or whatever it is that he's calling it today but i think that they've given him plenty of options plenty of ways to open the government president trump owns the shutdown he is the person who said that he was going to shut down the government he needs to go away from an impractical wall and we're going to reopen the government break up

a kind of gridlock reading the members of the one hundred sixteenth congress their first chance to show the public that they can solve the most difficult of political problems rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. israel's public security minister has promised to make conditions worse for palestinian prisoners. and says jails will remove cooking rights begin rationing water and reduce prison as ptolemy but also lose the right to be house with members of their own factions dunn says new policies aimed to deter future acts of violence. most of our budgets he is sexy general of the palestinian national initiative he says it would be end of the escalation of human rights violations by israel the fact. now these acts against presidents is very clearly related to the fact that there is a nearly and using suppression and opposition. as and student competition and.

elections. some ministers are in france in total meant activities of those showing people through imprisoning them especially children. now wanting to make conditions much worse for persons and others are going to their policy of violence against palestinian people so in my opinion this is one of the way of the skeleton their human rights violations israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is under growing pressure to expand illegal settlements as he launches his reelection bid last week israel announced plans to extend an existing settlement to south of bethlehem from the stephanie decker ripples. we are deep in the occupied west bank just south of bethlehem but trying to find the location israel has earmarked for the latest announcement of its illegal settlement expansion an area rights groups are calling to it's striking how many settlements

are already cut across this land land that is meant to be part of a future palestinian state and he could make resident money for wagner helps us find the hills a small group of settlers are already here. for example take bethlehem their settlement block it from the north end road sixty from the west and the settlement of efrat from the south and to koa is there behind us what's going to happen to us what's left where should we palestinians breathe when you're looking for west bank today it's not a listing and continuities you're going to continue to between the villages and cities all e. zero. to five g. is an expert in the geography of the land where the settlements are and what their presence means we're israel's ill and so we have a big live view of settlement this is the more than any bloke i'm going to give i was able to look and molly or the way we look it's been a big kind of go to. the jordan valley but it's more dangerous than this one it's

me in that all the biggest city in north of this garage at your own will be divided for two pieces one of them is surrounded with certainly in the north and second settlement and so there is no good at all for the city one word the rights group peace now is fighting this latest expansion in the courts arguing this land should be allocated for palestinians not to build more illegal settlements i'm afraid that the coming months before elections will be used by the settlers to set facts on the ground that the government will not want to fight against and the government will issue new plans a new. fact because they feel that it's a window of opportunities not knowing what will be after the elections and with the trumpeting station in their back they can do whatever they want back in the west bank on a road that skims a small palestinian village we come across to israeli settlers. we ask them where

the new allocated area is formed and they say it's in the settlement of a fraught they believe that this is their land given to them by god unless there is significant pressure on israel by the united states and the international community to reverse this decision peace now tells us that it's only a matter of a couple of years until sebald those arrive here and start building thousands more illegal settlement homes stephanie decker al-jazeera south of buffalo him in the occupied west bank the number of people killed in a train accident in denmark on wednesday has risen to eight is the country's worst roylance event in decades and it happened on the bridge that connects denmark to two main islands the. images from inside the danish passenger train show the extent of the damage. one hundred thirty four people were on board when police say it was hit by an unknown object during high winds. the preliminary

investigation found that a trailer had blown off a freight wagon on to the oncoming tracks. we are now collecting all kinds of data and information that could be significant for this terrible accident that has happened. the train was traveling from the city of odin to the danish capital copenhagen. the great bridge links denmark's two main islands it consists of a road suspension bridge and the railway is seized by tens of thousands of vehicles every day. the bridge had been closed to cars overnight because of the stormy weather but trains were still allowed to use it police are now trying to piece together exactly what happened here neve barker al-jazeera well staying in europe british authorities have arrested two people on suspicion of smuggling migrants across the english channel into the united kingdom and iranian nationals and a british man were detained in the city of manchester the government deployed extra

patrol boats in the channel this week after more than two hundred migrants attempted the crossing in december. hundreds of contacted tribes in brazil are in danger of losing their lands as part of a major policy overhaul by the newly inaugurated president. executive order the agriculture ministry in charge of deciding which parts of the amazon rain forest should be set aside for native groups the degree strips the indigenous affairs agency of power there are fears it could escalate conflict between i was on tribesmen and commercial farmers nearby john holeman has more from brasilia. president but also not overt only just been sworn in really when he started to try and take action and come good on his campaign promises one of them was not one centimeter more of land for indigenous reserves and he signed an executive order that all intents and purposes made that happen there was obviously outcry from

indigenous leaders who would see this is the thin end of the wage at the moment it doesn't affect established indigenous reserves in the country but they fear that a president who's made no secret really of his plans and decide to develop brazil's natural resources would then move on to that next the agricultural minister the new agricultural minister also came out and said that brazil had too many environmental laws the agriculture ministry at the moment is really in the hands of the agri business lobby who would also like to develop and start farming on the brazilian countryside remember that more than half of this country is made up of the amazon rain forest also the new security the new justice minister came out and said that the president but charged him above all other things to try and deal with impunity this is a country that's coming off the back of the biggest corruption scandal in latin

america in the new president bill sonando has made it really a priority and a campaign promise to get to grips with that and to be down corruption in the country the head of apple has the partly blame the u.s. president's trade war with china the missing out on billions of dollars worth of business tim cook warned of lower than expected earnings for the first quarter of this year also slanting we can demand from china last year washington and beijing imposed a series of tyrants on each other's goods shall nichols is a reporter at the register a technology news and opinion website he says it's not just the trade war affecting apple. i think what apple would like to do is really kind of as much as possible cite china cite the trade we're saying is issues as the cause of this but as you noted the over the last couple years apple has significant lee increased the price of the i phone we've tim cook special explanation of this is you're seeing kind of a combination of the trade wars kind of causing problems in china kind of worries

over the economy and that's making people less likely to go in and purchase apple products so it's so you're seeing both apple saying this is the train where the economic policies but it's also you know our products are more expensive and fewer people want to go to the store and pay that much for a phone for hours trading it was something like seven point five percent drop in apple's share price i mean this has been a huge hit for apple as far as the shortfall i believe it's only about four or five billion out of an eighty four billion dollar revenue. for the quarter but if this is something that investors are paying attention to and they did punish apple pretty significantly after hours trading. well it was years astronaut neil armstrong who made history when he said that's one small step for man one giant leap for mankind becoming the first person to step foot on the moon now almost fifty years later it's china making moon history it has landed

a spacecraft on the far side of the moon the first time a probe has ever been sent there the change you for could offer insights into the moon's origins and evolution getting to the dark side of the moon was key to what the chinese president calls his space dream to join and even lead the world's space race well the historic landing really demonstrates china's ambitions to catch up with the u.s. and russia to become a major space power by twenty thirty it's often called the dog side of the moon because it can't be seen from earth and previous spacecraft have seen it before but from a distance trying to force a lunar probe carried a rover with it turned its right now getting to work studying the moons to rain and it'll eventually send back samples to earth trying to space dreams don't stop there in twenty seventeen it announced plans to send a person to the moon and has dedicated eleven billion dollars to its space agency's budget morris jones is the author of when men walked on the moon he says this mission will help china reach further into space. well china is treating the moon

as the first big outpost in deep space for its long term plans it's already sent several missions to the moon it plans to send even more in the future including a sample return mission at some point but china is also setting its sights for mas and the asteroids and probably beyond so i think it's a sickly cut case that when a nation has big plans for outer space at some point you have to start exploring the moon and treat that as part of your overall plan well in some ways it they are playing catch up but the chinese didn't even launch a satellite until nine hundred seventy s. so this space program does have a sort of a and historical lag with that those of america and and russia but they're advancing very rapidly and even though it seems in some ways to be a bit of a catch up face the fact is they catching up to nobody by landing on the far side of the moon because nobody has done it before and it's

a tremendous technical achievement just to set up the communications link between the far side of the moon and earth we think that the crust is of a different thing this and we think that there they could be differences in the rocks in the way that. thermal conductivity other factors take place and so not just looking at the surface which you can do from orbit but looking at what lies underground is one of the goals of this mission and the rover that's being carried has a radar system that's designed to penetrate the ground and build up a profile of the lower layers below the soil. you're watching and as around so rob a reminder of our top stories u.s. president all trumpeters describes syria's war as sound death while defending his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the country still hasn't provided a timetable for the military exit last month. you know i never said faster or

slower when i did it one hundred times if you want it or somebody said for much but i didn't i didn't say that either i'm getting out we're getting out of syria look we don't want syria obama gave up syria years ago when he didn't violate the red line i did when i shot fifty nine missiles or but that was a long time later so syria was lost long ago it was lost long ago and besides that i don't want we're talking about sand and death that's what we're talking about what we want to protect the kurds never the less we want to protect the courage but i don't want to be in syria forever it's sand and it's death and president trump owes us congressional leaders to return to the white house on friday after both sides failed to reach a deal to end the partial government shutdown trump said he's prepared to let the shutdown go on until he gets his mexico border wall funding. a team of u.s.

prosecutors in the turkish capital of ankara to discuss the possible extradition of a business been fertility goodland turkey says glenn is the mastermind behind the twenty sixteen failed coup attempt to overthrow the government of turkey says glenn masterminded the twenty sixteen attempts that led to the deaths of more than two hundred fifty people he denies any involvement israel's public security minister has promised to make conditions worse for palestinian prisoners he says jails will remove cooking rights begin rushing water and reduce prisoners' autonomy. and the head of apple has partly blamed the u.s. president's trade war with china for missing out on billions of dollars worth of business tim cook warned of lower than expected earnings for the first quarter of the year also citing we could demand from china. and here's a first look at the far side of the moon scene from china's space craft the chang ethe fault it's a historic mission making china the first to land

a probe there and could offer insights into the moon's origins and evolution and basic stuff those were headlines about with more news in half an hour here on. let's cross over to me ok now for the stream to stay with us. president discusses his hopes for the country and the region. and challenges including poverty migration corruption and the case of julian assange. to zero zero. i am here in the stream a series of events in which white bystanders business owners and employees called the police on black americans has reignited conversations about racial profiling in the united states we explore the realities of living while black that's today live

on al-jazeera and you tube leave your comments in the chat and i'll do my best to include as many as possible in our discussion. many of you. would need to manage if. you are. you're already criminalise when you're wearing black skin says darren martin a former obama white house staffer who was mistaken for a burglar moving into his apartment in new york city story being questioned by neighbors and police for simply being black in an allegedly white space isn't unique nor is the outcry it sparked on social media and we also california a group of african-americans were detained by police while checking out of their air b.n. b. rental when a neighbor accused them of stealing stuff the neighbor was also concerned that the group hadn't waved to her as they left in oakland police were called in a group for allegedly not following park walls and using a charcoal barbecue grill and in philadelphia pennsylvania employees of

a starbucks cafe accused two men of trespassing as they waited for a colleague to arrive have a look. anti-racism activists say these incidents recall america's history of vagrancy laws which criminalize the presence of people often black in public spaces starbucks plans to close its eight thousand u.s. locations on may twenty ninth to conduct anti racial bias training but is that progress or just p.r. with us to help us explore that question franchesca ramsey is a comedian and author whose new memoir well but escalated quickly tells her story of becoming an accidental activists damon young is the editor in chief very smart brothers sherri williams is an assistant professor of communication at american

university here in washington d.c. and via skype in lagos nigeria the day she is a yale university student was questioned by campus police when a white classmate took issue with her sleeping in the common area of her dorm building so welcome to this stream everyone so i want to start on my laptop here with a headline says from the l.a. times new starbucks policy no purchase needed to use restrooms or to sit in cafes and they begin this article by saying medical emergency burglary and physical assault these are the few instances in which starbucks is now saying that employees should call the police would you make of it sherry well what i make of that is that in this country we actually have to be instructed on when and when to call the police on black people because for decades for centuries we have had a series of laws that really have pretty much regulated black existence in the

public you know immediately after slavery the black holes were enacted which were a way a series of laws it was a way to continue to relegate black people's presence and really keep them relegated in public spaces then moving on into reconstruction there was the conflict leasing system in which black people could be arrested for any my minor infraction and violent infraction you know for doing pretty much anything and then once they came into the. their labor could be leased out to private companies private citizens and one of those things in which they could be arrested for was loitering but then we moved on over into the one nine hundred sixty s. civil rights era in the fifty's and sixty's sometimes civil rights activists were arrested for loitering while they were in the process of actively resisting white supremacy moving on over into the eighty's and ninety's cities across the country were trying to grapple with gang activity so they started to again in act more loitering in vagrancy laws so what they ended up really doing was arresting a lot of black and brown youths who looked like gay members because what is

a what is a gang member looked like in this contemporary context a gang member looks like somebody who is not white and that was at my home saved. illinois and chicago that that was going down there so a whole history lesson thank you very much the same to what you packed in there and i think our audience will appreciate that francesco what do you make of starbucks announcement and this new policy change i think it's strange because i've always understood it to be that a coffee shop is a place for people to chat and hang out and work with the understanding that they're probably going to spend money and so now that they have to outrightly say in response to this major gaffe is really troubling because what it says is that a lot of their employees are carrying around this bias and that it's being supported by their management but also by the police and i just think that it's really sad that we need to have these list situations for them to help determine

when it's appropriate to call the police and also the fact that as white people they have this inherent privilege where police officers are going to believe whatever it is they say about a black person and that puts us in danger which is really scary and as you're talking there david before you get in there what we're watching on our screens now is the protests the people who heard about this and immediately took to twitter. and then took to the streets and took to starbucks around the country really to protest this statement. or mandate saying don't you races is necessary particularly in a space like a like a coffee shop which you know for people who you know or a part of unities where people go they were the people of color stations. and the fact that there's a large corporation and he has a total workers you know what you probably should not be racist today. and to

actually have a day a day of just telling me no billboards don't be races don't be racist don't be racist opie raises a good it's just it's one of those things that just or take a leave the absurdity of white supremacy in of america it's also really frustrating i mean i i commend them on the one hand because like they're trying but there are so many instances that don't take place in a business establishment you know whether it's the people calling about air b.n. b. you know or the woman at the barbecue there's just so many instances where white folks are calling nine one one for no reason i feel like we need some sort of checklist for them you know kind of like the green eggs and ham type of nursery rhyme you know are black people having fun please do not call nine one one you know just make it a little rhyme to there's a little bit scenarios to kind of go through the list we. just might work because

that right i mean. i like that you mention other examples i want to share one that our community members actually shared with us this is katherine on twitter she says my mom and i stopped by and house to visit she wasn't home so we waited in eric how are police were called because we looked suspicious she goes on to say it was another sad reminder that just being black is enough to star suspicion even when doing something in a sense like waiting outside. on this house and in this case that wasn't deadly we have seen other cases where waiting in a car can be deadly that's one example there are a long list a whole host of other. day there's actually an example that you of your. you became pretty well known for sleeping if you want to tell us what happened yeah . yeah. you know it's taking him out. none of my dorm and. you know the light came on and about one forty five in the morning.

another student was just kind of stabbing at me. you know you're not supposed to be here why are you sleeping in here. and from my description my friend description of her behavior this time that she had all the tweets on and i i thought this was the same person so i asked. me for my friend with a few months of all the knowledge that started going on about how i'm not supposed to be there and all the. and so she did and so the video that we both my things but. the interaction. what happened with the university have they stepped in i mean there have. i mean for yeah so issued a number of statements. most of them you know talking about diversity and inclusion and how you know we still need to do more work to make the game and he will our. university to have one damn the action.

of not one. behavior. and they have not spoken at all. or you know the weaponization of again. the thing that jumped out to me the thing that jumped out to me in that scene is when the student says i have every right to call the police you're not allowed to sleep in that room every right it sounds intitled it sounds privilege what did you make of it when you when you saw this video because of course it's gone viral it's what i make of it is again just this embodiment of this history of white people being able to be around black people when they want to be around them right and if i don't feel like they belong in this space then i have the right to make sure that they are ejected from this space and i think there are some ideas too that we still have about like

black criminality and black conspiracy because a lot of these vagrancy laws and a lot of these laws that have existed throughout time really have been about white people's fear of black people in fear of black congregation and what black people would do if they come together because i mean i even as a contemporary grown woman in my past twenty years of work in the workplace have even experienced at the water cooler at the copy machine standing with a mother a black colleague or two or three and don't let it be for a white colleague would even say what are you guys can conspiring to do over here what are you guys cooking up over here and i know that was just like a really you know blanket statement the person didn't mean any harm but it just the vokes these id. about black fear and even some of the stores like corner store as in black and brown neighborhoods have these power policies just like maybe written on notebook paper on the door no more than two people in here at a time two or three people so these ideas of black people being together and being destructive and dangerous are really deeply rooted in the american psyche. you know

. i'm not even sure if it's so much even so much of like there's more real fear of like you know ok this black presence here. it's almost as if white people consider the police the be their own personal apple care where like black people are like this. isn't working correctly and they need to call customer service real quick just get rid of problems we're like this or some where they wish someone could clean up really quick in and the thing is when they do that you know they might be thinking ok i just want the black people removed introducing the police to black people to be a potentially lethal situation and that's how you know sometimes we end up good because of these phone calls because of this this annoyance. this feeling of i just don't expect them to be in this space and so i want the removed from this

space because i feel uncomfortable and the law that i can see you nodding there but i want to bring in this comment.
