were killed in the entire vietnam war but this is contradicted by the drug enforcement administration which in a report last year said virtually all of the heroin sold in the united states comes through legal points of entry thank you and in a joint appearance the democrat leaders in the house and senate dismiss the address as nothing more than cynical korea mongering this president just used the backdrop of the oval office to manufacture a crisis stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration the president's address and the democratic response has affected no change and at the weekend this will become the longest ever government shutdown in the nation's history mike hanna al-jazeera washington john all that has been following the journey of hundreds of asylum seekers from central america who are trying to cross

into the united states airports until one in mexico where people fail then a five by trump speech. we were in one of the impromptu shelters that been set up into one a mix code to try and help central americans trying to get across the border into the united states and give them some support and shelter this one's in a church we would we watch president from speech with them in the first reaction here was really people quite offended especially his depictions as some people crossing illegally as criminals he told stories about a murderer and about a rapist they said you can't just stick his head in the same bucket there's a lot of good people here trying to get there they were talking about why they've gone in this dangerous journey north of the president trump actually alluded to saying that things are so tough back home they didn't have a lot of choice even because violence because of the gangs the really terrorized vast parts of the country where they live all because of poverty trying to escape

make a better life for themselves in the united states some of them are doing the virus asylum some of them. willing to jump over the fence hand themselves in straight away and then start the asylum process that way and some are simply saying that after really hearing about president's current posture and their chances of getting into the united states that way they're just going to try and pay a people smuggler and go across the border obviously that's been happening for some time now and it's what president from is trying in part to prevent by putting up this wall but illegal migration and apprehensions of the border have been going down for more than a decade i mean i states he will so i made a point the president about drugs he said that the war will almost pay for itself because it will stop vast quantities of drugs being trafficked over the border to the u.s. actually most drugs passed through ports of entry into the united states this along with the lines of people and vehicles going through the wouldn't necessarily affect

that but this is become a potent political symbol for the president and for his a. back to determine where . i actually have saved my pay it has stopped in iraq on his tour of middle east capitals america's top diplomat is trying to reassure middle east allies off sudden announcement that he'll withdraw all u.s. troops from syria and iran can joins us now from baghdad saying what it was rumored that pump a would visit iraq what's he doing that well he's already met with the speaker of the parliament and he's likely to meet with the prime minister. in the next hours or so he's a very short visit the americans have been very tight lipped about what's on the agenda as have the iraqis but reading between the lines there's really three key things that both sides are going to be looking to talk about on the iraqi side it's this announcement from president donald trump who said he was going to keep troops

with in iraq and he actually made that announcement without actually talking to the iraqis so this will be a child's first senior administration officials on both sides to really talk about the u.s. presence the u.s. presence is being debated within the likely to be debated when parliament opens and so that's something that they'll be talking about on the american side the americans are very concerned about iran as role with in iraq itself both politically and militarily the secretary of state has long said that he's concerned about that role particularly with the troops side of things so currently we have a the iraqis have a wave of. the u.s. led sanctions against iran which allows them to trade with iran so that's likely to be on the agenda as well because only here for a few hours so how much they will get done remains the same but at least now a lot of iraqis is least out there talking about this idea of keeping u.s. troops on the iranian role within iraq ok thanks for that update of pompei landing

. now that his foreign minister is insisting that his country will reject the u.s. request not to target kurdish armed groups in northern syria when american forces leave cover solo dress the turkish parliament today after u.s. national security advisor john bolton reiterated the request in ankara bolton's comments angered president obama who says turkey will not compromise on kurdish y p g five as it regards as terrorists. you know middle east for the us to be this intertwined with a terrorist organization makes leaving it that much more difficult we continue to hear different voices coming from different levels of the american administration everyone can see we have been fighting against terrorist organizations in the region from day one we need to prevent the white b.g. from turning into a growing threat to our country we need to act against that and speak now to. our bob in northern syria and his foreign minister there again rejecting u.s.

calls not to target syrian kurdish fighters that are. well yes turkey has actually is very sensitive about the kurdish issue because to turkish officials say is that they segregate the kurdish issue from the issue with the p k k d out those kurdistan workers party and for a longer us perspective the american stance on the a p k k n y p g issue is actually trying to legitimize why fiji as a legitimate representative of the kurds in syria but turkey stays i.p.g. is a branch of the p.k. k. in syria and old the weapons that were the wife are also shared by the p.k. k. and are brought to the p.k. k. has quarters in iraq come devoutness and are used against turkey this is the official perspective from ancora and turkey insists that the united states should have

a more concrete stance about where they lost their decision about withdrawing from from syria and how they're going to deal with the kurdish why p.g. in northern syria according to what we have heard from the officials in ankara yesterday turkey's presidential spokesperson iranian cullen told mr bolton that they should the americans should either be transferred those military bases in the instance side of the euphrates to the turkish army or destroy them but they are saying that the only answer they received from bolton was we are just going to look into that so turkey with us for a proper answer from the states turkey was repeatedly saying that it's not targeting kurdish people there in northern syria but how all the citizens there are reacting to this tool of a new taxation census. well yes i mean

the kurds in syria are supposed to actually lower because someone. the kurds are saying that the why p.g. and the pew why that is not when they are it doesn't have the right to represent themselves because they are or press in the rain in the regions that they have taken under control those people have said have said that the why fiji is trying to establish something like a cold honest outlet over there on the other hand some of the people say that this was the time when the lucian when actually the war broke out in syria and the young people the young kurds didn't have anything any other chance then getting in gauge with the why pigeon fight against i saw in any other threats but in the area where i am in this is an area that was liberated by the turkish backed free syrian army a while ago and everything was actually everything was very critical here the town

was not safe but when we entered found we see that life has begun relatively more normal to other places other places compared to other regions in syria but people here as i have spoken to some officers who how welcomed us here people believe that when turkish military operation is low and its ring stability and security it to the area but of course the are off here who are who have. after the conflicts in the other places they want to go back to their homes and members but i have to remind that they are elves and the kurds so difference opinions regarding turkish military or a turkish offensive in the region ok brings the view there from northern syria thanks very much them. now the u.n. envoy to yemen is due to update the security council on his latest efforts to end the nearly four yeah war graph it's been holding talks with both sides using yemeni

president of the drop in months or has he and saudi arabia and choose day and who see rebels in yemen. to stick to the front truce that was agreed to last month in sweden he's hoping to bring them together for more talks later this month. situation on the ground remains obviously. delicate for the secretary general's part he's encouraged that the parties remain committed to the implementation of the stockholm. agreement. but there is obviously mr griffiths efforts. in the party's efforts underscore collective recognition of the urgency to find a sustainable solution for data and to secure that vital humanitarian space that we've often talked about much more still ahead here on the news our frustration building in the democratic republic of congo over delayed election results as officials offer a new date. stalemate in the gulf crisis days to another resignation from the top

administration. that has a tough day on the genes at the dakar rally will have the latest coming up in sports. north korea's leader kim jong un has wrapped up his visit to china a day earlier than expected it was hopes the talks with chinese president xi jinping and the groundwork for another meeting with donald trump neither side said much about kim shared jill but south korean media are reporting that he met president xi for about an hour on the train to you has this update from beijing. this trip has been shrouded in secrecy we do know that this afternoon his train was seen leaving they doing and there are reports that kim jong il toured a chinese traditional medicine factory this morning then had some lunch with some top chinese officials perhaps even president xi jinping himself before boarding the train shortly after now there has been no official information so far either from

the north korean government or from the chinese side there were reports that yesterday kim met with president xi jinping for an hour and they were expected to have discussed a possible meeting between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un in the next few months so far we have no confirmation of their spot we expect some information from chinese for china's foreign ministry over the next few hours now of kim jong un's train does return home he's expected to arrive perhaps just after midnight there is also. a chance that he could be visiting another chinese city on the way back home all of a dozen consulates and embassies in australia have been evacuated off to suspicious packages were delivered to them these collected samples a diplomatic missions in the capsule camera and in melbourne being tested for hazardous material that have been no reports of any harm coming to the staff some of the packages a set of can do just best source of building material that can cause cancer.

latest round of talks between the afghan taliban and the u.s. has been called off for disagreements over the agenda for a two day meeting which is meant to start in cattle on wednesday i should all of our reports. taliban leaders canceled a meeting with the u.s. officials only a few hours after telling the media they were willing to hold face to face talks in qatar in the coming days and the reason is differences over inviting the afghan government delegation to join the talks a few days ago the taliban rejected an offer to meet afghan government representatives in saudi arabia preferring instant to hold talks with the u.s. special envoy. to the united states in taleban both have some cards taliban also try to play chess board in politics they don't want to open up.

they want to give little intake a lot. the afghan government says it's ready to me the taliban any time anywhere but for the talks to succeed afghanistan needs help from neighboring pakistan the u.s. has repeatedly accused islamabad of providing safe haven for taliban leaders accusations dismissed by the pakistani government pakistan being the immediate neighborhood understand is interested that any development in afghanistan leads to peace and stability of the region gotten the efforts underway towards a political settlement in a fantasy and the draw all of us troops should be part of a peace process we did to ensure that it is nor bar vacuum in a fantasy. despite huge international aid and a military campaign led by the us war is far from over and the time. liban is far

from defeated reports of the trump administration might be withdrawing troops in the coming months triggered panic among afghan officials but the u.s. isn't the sole player in the region the russians invited the taliban and of the kabul based afghan peace council for talks last year saudi arabia and the u.a.e. took part in the last round of talks in december. iran has also been active over the last two years building bridges with the taliban and the government iran says its goal is to ensure an afghan led peace deal. the talks gained momentum last year but it's unclear if all the parties are willing to make concessions and agree on a unity government. there although other attempts to bring taliban to the table

meetings are going on between representatives of the afghan and pakistani governments in islamabad and call hyder joins us live from that second well what's happening at these talks. well the of one delegation arrived yesterday head in islamabad headed by the secretary of the high peace council and also the special andrew on war today of on president of iran a full peace in the region and for building a consensus popey now they've been meeting the pakistani foreign minister according to their delegations spoke a man they're also going to have made the progress on the military chiefs they're going to meet the political leadership the religious political leadership israel and of god today will be hoping that somehow gets on it a bit to convince that the barn to lead the of the current delegation into those dogs could be remembered in getting their drugs in abu dhabi the afghan government

delegation was already india admitted they were a good to be a part of the conversations and negotiations however the other one dollar biden said no to that date if you would to recognize the government. of iran a star and then said that david only talking to the united states the odds on delegation of god will be hoping to somehow can read spog standard then convince the of one dollar bond but it seems it's going to be a very difficult job because the afghan taliban have said they want a door to pull out of ford focus from of understand and that day read a nod to the of one government which they considered as a puppet of the united states and of what does the afghan government actually want from pakistan. when the two countries also have bilateral relations progress on has recognized the government didn't call but they have a lot of issues to discuss so border it is dangerous because progress on there has

been a cute thing some groups of operating from of iran it started carrying out attacks inside pakistan so progress on continuing to engage. government on a diplomatic level it recognizes the government didn't call. god in a predicament because it does have some leverage over the other one dollar bond however because the taliban have come out strong all of the seventeen year old conflict there nordin a border. from where there are no weaknesses and therefore beginning today demo on ok come on hyder bringing us the latest that from islam but thanks very much. now the u.s. envoy working to resolve the blockade on cast has resigned retired general anthony zinni was john ministrations point man on the g.c.c. crisis wasn't jordan explains why he quits and looks at the state of u.s. diplomacy in the region. for the last year and a half retired u.s.

a conversation with leaders in the region that is happening and well underway thanks to his efforts for now it falls to secretary of state mike pompei o to discuss the blockade and a possible military alliance during his first major trip to the middle east however pompei is top priority and that of the white house is the isolation of iran at any cost that means anthony zinni his work could end up being neglected for the foreseeable future rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. democratic republic of congo say provisional election results could be announced within the next two days as supposed they were supposed to be released on sunday and election commission said that wasn't possible to today six election problems a widespread reports of irregularities when the election took place at the end of december. in kinshasa is results now expects to be released in the next two days any idea of when exactly. will all

like at the moment those winds of driven some of the river on shore is a bit of flooding there and it looks like it's still going to be blustery for a while yet those winds then work their way southward and they're blowing plenty of cloud across the central parts of europe where it's turning colder and as it heads across the mountains that's where we say most of the snows are particularly in parts of switzerland and the northern parts of austria we've got very deep snow at the moment waiver to meet it in many places that snow is still falling and because of the amount we've seen in such a small amount of time we do have a very large risk of avalanches at the moment so there is that system that it's working its way south with but still bringing its cold weather with it so in the southeastern parts of europe we're also seeing a fair amount of snow these pictures off from athens the beach in athens covered in snow beautiful but quite what you might expect now there's plenty more snow still to come that system is continuing its journey southwards of them behind it the winds will be easing but there's still going to be more wintery weather across the northern parts of the out there that system fortunately as it works its way

documentaries. and live. on air and online. you're watching as reminder of our top stories this hour is president donald trump has put his case for a border war with mexico directly to the american people he said it's necessary to result security drug trafficking and the humanitarian crisis the democrats have accused him of stoking fear. made a brief visit to iraq on day two of his middle east tour as expected that they that

they discuss washington's concerns about iran's role in iraq and trumps plans for u.s. troops in the country. north korean leader kim jong un has wrapped up his visit to beijing earlier than expected details been released about his trip south korean media is reporting that chinese president xi jinping for about an hour. as we had earlier was in the weather lebanon is getting a lot of the moment and is adding to the misery of syrian refugees living in camps many are enjoying the eighth in the country's south with any plastic sheeting for wall there amongst the most vulnerable of the one million syrian refugees still living in lebanon reports from back of. the storm hit lebanon hard and it is not over syrian refugees are feeling the impact. their makeshift tents have been damaged because of the snow rain and strong winds plastic

sheeting offers them a little protection to other part of the wind blew away the sheep walk and i say just look around you can we get you sheets we feel helpless. winter conditions are already bad in this region close to syria's border but storms make them even harder it was a difficult night for these people pools of sewage are posing health risks oh well . look at the reality can you believe that sewage water is everywhere up to this where is the international community where is the united nations. the waste water even reached inside what these people call their homes for many of these syrians this is their winter in exile the united nations says at least one hundred seventy thousand of the almost one million registered refugees live in makeshift shelters refugee cannot build better shelters no concrete construction is allowed

in these informal camps the lebanese government does not permit the united nations or any other organization to set up permanent structures in these settlements. it's a policy here to discourage refugees to settle in lebanon permanently something doesn't want to do but for now he says he doesn't have an option oh look. i lost my home in syria we're living miserable lives you do you think we would stay here for an hour if we didn't have a choice. it's a sentiment shared by many who are bracing themselves for what is expected to be even harsher conditions as temperatures continue to drop. because eastern lebanon. now sudan's president omar al bashir is addressing a pro-government rally in the capsule called the live pictures from there he's trying to counter mass protests against his rule demonstrations have spread across

since mid december and began over the rising cost of food and fuel as well as government corruption meanwhile declaring wednesday a telling point in their campaign to resign the morgan joins us live now from khartoum we can see share addressing the crowds that now he's very keen isn't he to drum up the support that he can in the face of these anti-government protests. or yes laura today is going to be a very interesting day the fact that the government has organized a pro-government rally to try to get his supporters and show the world that the president is not unwanted as some protest of the very thing over the past few weeks but then there's also another anti-government demonstration that it's time for in just about half an hour and people will be coming out and trying to begin to try to proceed to the national assembly to submit a memo saying that they want the president to step down so today is in a way a reflection of the state of the nation in sudan people are saying that they want the president to resign but then there are other people his supporters and his

ruling party saying that they want him to stay in power and going to be a very interesting turn out to be absolutely other any efforts underway to negotiate between these two sides. well no because largely the protests have been very sporadic there is an organizing body that has been calling for the protests over the past couple of weeks but it's thought it sporadic and in most of the cases around the country it also happens to break up or sporadic there is no certain leadership that he can negotiate with and he hasn't even said that he wanted to talk to the people who have been protesting what he said what he said is that he's going to try to improve the economy try to increase the wages of civil servants but the people have been saying that they've heard these promises over and over again and that the only compromise they want is for him to step down something he said he's not going to do he said he's going to wait until elections in twenty twenty before the ballot decides whether he can be president again or not. ok many thanks for joining us from khartoum. well protests in nigeria people there are demanding a higher minimum wage the government has are going to increase the amount to eighty

three dollars a month some states so they couldn't afford to pay it and it just has moved from. after waiting for two and a half years i joined in workers saying they've had enough of the world they held a protest trying to shut down the government if it doesn't implement and you minimum wage agreed with labor unions. they prevent it into the minimum wage was a woman and to want it i'm not interested in trying to limit its members of the purchasing power what they're not going to work as i've been back to twenty eight audits and that's why this is why i've become very very potent because it affects the lives of eleven million dollars or because the new northern obama dependence. the delay in bringing the new wages maybe part of the reason for the protests but workers might also be taking advantage of next month's general election to force through a deal nigeria's central government may have agreed with labor unions on

a new minimum wage but its biggest obstacle for implementation is the state government many had already workers summaries for months until the central government interviewee. nigeria has the largest economy in africa and it's also the continent's biggest oil producer but not much of its wealth gets treats workers and citizens for now parliamentarians who get paid more than politicians in developed economies like the united states say they are on the side of the workers. no reason that we cannot afford to pay one hundred less than a hundred dollars for a minimum wage the president. should do did need for what the president should do is to immediately send the request to the national assembly and i can assure you as far as the parliament is cause we are in sync with the

demand of the nigerian workers. as the workers a weak government response they're looking to see what traders and service providers will do. the past any wage increases created by higher prices of goods and services workers say they hope that will not be the case this time. but increase al-jazeera. nigeria. now despite promises from the president that had turned things around some bob boy is going through its west economic crisis in a decade hundreds of doctors have been on strike for weeks and now teachers are joining forces demanding the government do more to help make ends meet practical to reports. a new year a new term but an actual start for the students of zimbabwe. i was there instead of notebooks inside classrooms some teachers are outside holding placards they say they can only hold classes for two days a week and

says it doesn't have enough foreign currency to meet the protesters demands zimbabwe depends heavily on imports and uses gold notes and electronic currency that speck to the dollar a shortage of dollars means those bones are losing their value but they should now with the immediately now or tomorrow go into negotiations where government will offer in terms of a million or aiding the plight of the civil service in the areas that they might get on the streets of the capital harare lines like these are all too common a price. basic goods have more than tripled and there is a fuel shortage this crisis is one of the biggest challenges facing president emerson and god who promised economic growth and for investments to prince about we out of two decades of finance you disagree. robert mugabe. with

the agreement which sets out the terms of britain's departure from the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march buses general reports from as a truism a has already suffered another setback to her bracks it plans. the british government is preparing the country for life outside the european union in particular for the possibility of leaving without a deal over future relations it's not a pretty picture queues of trucks shortages of food and medicine it is for many in parliament a worst case scenario but one that grows more possible by the day. hardly surprising then that those opposed to a no deal brigid are doing all they can to prevent it i believe the government should rule out no deal but i think if it won't tim palmer must make sure that it has the powers to do so if it comes to the crunch it is time for members of parliament and also i start ruling out deeply damaging options to our country

voting by a majority in favor of a measure that blocks public spending on a no deal outcome m.p.'s on both sides demonstrated their opposition to the government's current course. it's a significant defeat for the government here the successful amendment to the finance bill tabled by the opposition labor party with wide support is perhaps not the first salvo in a campaign aimed at forcing the government's hand it doesn't mean no deal planning will stop nor that no deal won't happen but it does put much more pressure on the prime minister to find a position that a majority in parliament can actually agree on she wasn't in parliament but to resume a knows that if there is no appetite for a no deal and her own plan gets voted down next week then her options are greatly limited either go cap in hand to the e.u. leaders and plead for something better or consider doing what an increasing number of people and m.p.'s wanted to do which is hold another referendum there isn't a majority in support of any of the particular rocks and outcomes and there

definitely isn't a support for no deal so it is supported by around a quarter of the country around half those who voted leave in the e.u. referendum but it isn't as popular as remaining in the european union and when you ask the public which would prefer staying in your opinion or leaving with no deal staying in the european union does come ahead eighty days to break it and counting it is still firm government policy to take britain out of the e.u. on march the twenty ninth but the government is not necessarily in firm charge of events jonah how al-jazeera london. the annual consumer electronics show is happening in the us this year there's anxiety of a tumbling stock prices trade tensions and reports from las vegas a lack of new ideas. four thousand companies from dozens of countries rolled out new products at the consumer electronics show l.g.'s new flexible t.v.
