on our defense and obviously. offense that would be a shift felt worldwide but some experts were quick to point out what the president promised is not actually in the pentagon plan the review itself says the united states is very interested in seeking a three way or in space so satellites that could observe missile launches and detect them sooner but there isn't any mention of putting weapons in space yet pentagon said that it would do another study over the next six months or the usability of that idea this sounds like science fiction and it would be exceedingly expensive they want to come up with a laser with the technology doesn't exist yet that they could put on drones to potentially shoot down missiles as they're being lost so how much would all of that cost well there was a briefing here at the pentagon with senior officials the question was asked over and over again and they refused to answer. bottom line it's easy for the president to make big promises but the pentagon is a backdrop getting money to do it well that's

a much harder thing to do particularly al-jazeera the pentagon and also in the president's pentagon speech described pyongyang as an ongoing extraordinary threat this as north korea's top and why of wives in the u.s. to discuss a possible second summit between donald trump and kim jong un kim yong cho's been leading decoys ation talks of washington and is expected to meet section of state my pompei zero on friday. still ahead hair on al-jazeera shacked well as in south africa challenge the viruses to provide them with permanent pains plus. i'm wayne hay reporting from phnom penh where european tariffs may be about to put a dent in one of the best performing economies in the world.

know again you're watching out of there as reminder of our top stories this hour the african union has called on the democratic republic of congo to postpone the final announcement of its presidential election results saying there are serious doubts over the vote constitutional court is due to reveal its decision on friday. more protests demanding the resignation of the sudanese president are expected in the coming hours earlier mourners pay their respects at the funeral of a doctor who died in violence on thursday. says at least forty people have been killed since protests against price rises and the president began last month. and u.s. president donald trump says he wants to explore space based weaponry that could shoot

down missiles made the announcement while stumbling a new defense strategy at the pentagon. who the rebels have rejected the role of an expanded u.n. group of monitors to oversee the ceasefire in yemen a un team tasked with supervising the truce came under fire in the city of her data on thursday they were leaving a meeting with the yemeni government delegation when the shots were fired no one was harmed it came a day after the u.n. security council approved seventy five new monitors to yemen now if you live in a shack in south africa what are your rights that's the question being asked by millions of shanty town dwellers in the eastern province of kwazulu-natal one rights group says hundreds of people are being thrown out of their shacks and it's illegal unless they're provided with a permanent alternative home for me to miller has more from them. just below the main road on a hillside in cato kristen durban these people have built a makeshift homes the shacks at the canano settlement are made out of plastic

wooden boards and metal sheeting providing little protection from rain and the intense humanity. has lived here for two years after losing her job and not being able to pay rent elsewhere she built the shack after her previous one was burnt down she says by police. and the problem with either. but when they got here they started shooting from the top and then came down and continued shooting we asked what the problem was and they told us to leave and that this was in our place they got in charge homes and burnt everything down this community leader says forty six shacks were demolished and some burned down during the vixens . despite repeated evictions dozens of families have returned and continue to live in the k'naan a settlement many say it's not by choice but necessity the areas close to schools clinics and places of work but they say they live in fear worried police will come

back and evict them again schachter as association. dollars says the vixens i legal because the city doesn't have a court order and as required by law it's not provided alternative accommodation for those it's evicted the group says the rights of people living in two thousand three hundred shacks settlements across the country are being ignored we have been listening in targets in the number of every cell in the city i mean just before this one seven communities have face of action so we have to alter court just last year to tame interdict against the city which involves more than twenty to forty one fabulous the municipality refused to speak to al-jazeera saying the matter is still before the courts but earlier issued a statement saying some land is not meant for human occupation according to government statistics fourteen percent of the africans live in informal settlements the government provided three point two million free houses for the poor in the

last twenty five years but the people's environmental planning organization says about twelve million south africans don't have adequate housing people living at the canano settlement say there's some relief after the court stopped any further the vixens they say what they need is a permanent solution for me kato crist was in a towel. a leading u.s. politician says a new allegation about donald trump is one of the most serious so far as presidents are forced to have told lawyer michael cohen to ny about a building project in moscow the chairman of the house intelligence committee adam schiff says he will do all he can to establish the truth at the same time robert mueller is investigating whether chom colluded with russia during his election campaign three years ago but he's fine as a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general he says if true the allegations make impeachment of the president more likely well i think this takes the impeachment.

prospect to a new level what mr cohen is testifying to if it's true from buzz feed is that a crime to which he is already pled guilty lying to congress was really part of a conspiracy with the president to mislead and frustrate the oversight function of the legislative branch. that clearly in my judgment would be a high crime and misdemeanor justifying impeachment based upon articles of impeachment voted against richard nixon and william jefferson clinton i remember this is a case where the president is alleged now to obstruct in the functioning of a co-equal branch of government it's not necessarily a payoff to a pornstar but this goes to the heart and soul of our separation of powers an institutional integrity here and that is what i believe makes it far more likely to push for an impeachment i think we can expect the chairman of the house judiciary

committee to issue a subpoena after mr cohen testifies asking that mr trump under oath rebut anything that mr cohen may have alleged. donald trump has canceled the delegations the world economic forum in davos next week citing the government shutdown is also scrapped house speaker nancy pelosi is upcoming overseas tour the political deadlock between trump of the democrats over his proposed border wall is now into its fourth week earlier suggested charm and laid his plan state of the union address if the impasse doesn't end this week or the one thousand people from under us have crossed into mexico as part of another migrant caravan bound for the u.s. many of them will be deported back to their home country but as they continue to risk a difficult trip to seek asylum after escaping violence and poverty back home when you're palo has been speaking to some of those who've been sent back to under us. this bus arriving from mexico is dropping off

a hundred migrants being returned home many were deported others like. who left with a migrant caravan last october have come back willingly. i tried crossing many times through mexicali piccata and i couldn't because we would be tear gassed or the place was too dangerous or too expensive that's why we decided to turn back. in some president main bus station between three hundred and five hundred deportees are processed every day many of them are under the age of eighteen a local charity provides them with some money for food counseling and other services may say this bed is the charity manager says this should be the job of the hundred government finally. we're calling on the government because they should be providing attention to these people unfortunately it does not have real support programs to the school we as an organization can only provide assistance to a small portion of this population better than in most of us and the. regional

director of honduras is child services agency admits the challenges are great but says the government is doing the best they can at that time will they. try to lessen the limitations that might exist and assist as many hondurans as possible when they return from the migration route. in a poor neighborhood on the foothills of some pivotal sula we met mario guess the annuls he's twelve years old but only now learning to read so. well he joined a migrant caravan in two thousand and eighteen travelling by himself he made it as far as chiapas mexico before being deported all of the family were unsure if we would stay or keep going we decided to go and then we were caught there were a lot of people in the immigration office they took us to the airport and put us on an airplane and then your place to cough cough an hour later he was one of more than three hundred thousand one. and miners who were deported last year charity workers say some deportees report feeling suicidal and unwilling to stay in

honduras feeling they are being thrown back into a life of violence and poverty they were trying to leave behind all of this points to a failure to provide adequate assistance to migrants being sent back. lacking a more robust action by the national government to improve the lives of hundreds at home it isn't hard to see why so many keep trying to leave but if they send me back one hundred times i'll go back two hundred. heading home to see his daughter says it won't be long before he heads north once more. the european union has impose tariffs on vice exports from. the block says its previous policy which allowed cambodia to export very damaging european produce says by day as more from. for the past decade cambodia has had one of the best performing economies in the world thanks largely to the biggest buyer of its goods europe but

a deterioration in democracy and human rights ahead of last july's election the government launched a crackdown on dissent which resulted in the largest opposition party being disbanded prime minister hun sen has remained publicly defiant in the face of increased pressure and scrutiny from the west which has come amid a surge of investment and trade with china privately his attitude may be different though given that cambodian businesses osip to become less competitive in their biggest markets europe. the first step initiated by the e.u. in october will see cambodia under investigation for six months after which the formal process of imposing tariffs will begin the move would be particularly hard on the garment sector which employs around eight hundred thousand people activists say the action by europe provides an opportunity for the government to clean up attacked it's very important for the government to make sure that you know they have the capacity enough to maintain the in wester and also to build the trade in

among us how are under twenty. two. really has so where her mind. fled without giving any warning to his family. he'd stopped believing in the regime and knew too much. despite the risks he agreed to our interview he hopes to become too well known to be secretly killed. reports from men and women who played a role in office thirty nine the keepers of all the financial secrets of north korea are rare. to flee overseas means putting yourself and also your family back in north korea in danger. but it was the government that sent him ill halfway across the world to a construction site in the kuwaiti desert. in

which i turned up with the know how to do was you know will cause you know good poem or palin a lot of power you know i do. need to go. she does have all either me or all the cage opinion she didn't pay will be much in the car he was hundred he hunted by jingo. you this isn't true what are you going to contest in the car. militaries are still curate here and they're going to call. there were near a yes man there from the you don't. follow imran khan yunis and most highly annoying guy to. her than you could you would. know more about two hundred. pounds.

when we. can do really. who don't. really even know who can look here. in the. room is image even. more. education than. north korea started sending workers abroad in one thousand nine hundred eighty four . slowly a gigantic network of secret companies and financial institutions developed. to bring money to office thirty nine. as a representative of the north korean north east asia bank in singapore. made tens

of millions of dollars to his country. in two thousand and three suspected him of revealing information about the country's finances. he fled to song today the expense works for the south korean security agency working against the regime he once been attorney loyalty to. our main goal is to make four in cash and this foreign cash business is secret complete secret office number three nine communion of creating that the system is set up like it's all north korean institutions where these foreign cash is generated there is to report it to can to the top and then should bring that should pay that in cash to family knowledge in zone and

the fortunes of europe so she get her all this and then spend it or according to his priorities so two economies one is to family economy and the other one is the national economy run by the cabinet and run by their so-called you know central planning their different group careers you know at most one hundred and fifty thousand maybe fifty thousand in russia and little more in china and others in scattered around the world so true than fifty thought and they make a lot of money there's only. so seventy percent eighty percentage of the salary cuts. and sent to the state in the party so if they make all of them a hundred dollars then the amount is

a much smaller man knowing it. putting your own on. a pair were schmoe fifteen million fifteen million a month they don't make only one hundred years bucks a year or month in they make more maybe several hundred at least. so a lot of money is going to control. the volume of their cash income jim's own winds fund increased dramatically in the past in the past twenty years in the past twenty years so he can buy. and he can. do continue this in a nuclear and missile program in the colony younger than a mother daughter and i know that it home you know will got our home or. i laid it

on low for a while tree cause we don't know you would follow joel or do the roll call. trying to do and i. believe it was a victory stand. on. on the edge of the mongolian step buildings just office space every day the mongolian capital all and but all grows bigger. mongolia was a communist country for more than seventy years its monumental buildings stem from that era. but after the fall of the soviet union in braced capitalism. ever since rural people have been flooding into the cities. all the bustle

needs new apartments but there's not enough local workers so mongolia was from china vietnam and north korea. the mongolian work is used for the exterior work the basic qualified north koreans take care of the interior. the workers from pyongyang a watched day and noise. we send in now translation. is done and this was also does bell and the social studies teacher. need to do is to do need to know some of this to. come up with the right how do we do it ourselves the last year that would lead to the for all that since there are.

usually they can only go outside in groups so they can watch over each other. put in the market alleys of pool and the tall we catch sight of a north korean worker and he seems to be along. for the job for two good vocal rules of the book but it's a. roll. on to a civil war with him just. for that i'm. going to call digital media mogul about it by far the work of the phone. with a. bunch of sit. on. well without the rules a little bit of. tree. roots will. still. show i will cut you sir told just as a group in the us will i was out on

a lot too but you would lose it isn't it awful. there are an estimated one thousand two hundred world koreans working in mongolia. the companies transfer the y. g.'s directly to the north korean embassy in berlin but all. most is confiscated by the regime. the workers only receive a small amount to send back to their families in north korea. construction workers are the only money makers. north korea supplies logons samas and medical practitioners. but no matter who they are the income goes to the stice . in lumber toil there are three occupants and car a practically nix stuff by the north koreans.

would they turn into north korean waters. here in the sky. i guess no story. oh yes and yes no question who wants a new way gays are in the world did you hear for how long you've been here and when you go. to get your money and we've got to get back well i do some things there's just. things. it's estimated that north korea earns over five hundred million dollars every year from its overseas workers.

because. there are one hundred thirteen north korean restaurants worldwide. three of them are in all of the time. the model is always the same. smiling singing dancing for their customers every not encouraging them to buy so they'll spend them on. the white dresses this. and sleep in the restaurants they can't go out the young women also sell alcohol cigarettes and.

all of this income flows into the funds of the stice but there is no concrete proof of the secret bond transfers documents which could serve as evidence receipts bank transfers as well as internal notes a systematically destroyed by order of the kim family. that's how they hide the money flowing from the international community and how they can keep it secret from the workers who earn millions for the kim family. whose eat. you need is the middle of the terribly easy thing to get. it will be done in. the. us with oh it isn't talking

yes the door until he becomes questions around the room. comes course and all the other person signing of the hari. so i live on the window of the family the house of my dose and i. we've waited five months to receive official permission to come to north korea and . we travel by train from the chinese border of don dong. cost off from the world since nineteen fifty three time same's to have stood still here.

to see. the rule. no piece of land lies follow everything serves to feed the nation. as we travel through the fields on the seven hour journey it's clear that families have only basic tools to tend their land. uclear plants are also in the rages that we crossed. we passed me a three year run in mines numerous underground constructions as well as the nuclear research center and beyond it's the center of the nation's nuclear program. escorts are accompanying us to the capital pyongyang. we enter a world that is population by the privileged class. these

streets are reserved for three million residents that's ten percent of the population the most loyal supporters of the statues. you can only enter the city with a. permis the guides accompany us day and nonis. their job is to show us that despite u.n. sanctions pyongyang isn't an economically doom city full of suffering. and this is spanx to the new national hero. this architect studied in france for eight years he returned to north korea in twenty ten and he's one of the top architects in the capital today he build skyscrapers for the new elate.

and. i. recently got over to look at a. lot of. it just says mass salvation closet so not. just to do. so. so the moment. you release i saw. people saw how lovely thanks so all this is. i can see insidious well i think counting it through changing. something you eat.

this woman's husband teaches fluid mechanics at the kim technical university the station's given them a thirty used two hundred square major apartment well not everyone in pyongyang lives in such modern skyscrapers this family aren't the only ones. ever since kim jong un has run the country he's built a new district every year he built fifty new houses for the scientists and their families who have done a lot for the nation. for the architects it's boom time. on the streets the standard clothes of socialism have become bored cultural in the past three years the mood seems almost relaxed the state still governs the nation with an iron fist even the smallest critical gesture lands you in one of the many camps the political prisoners but since kim jong un has been in power there's

been a restructuring the older rees to develop the economy at the same speed as the nuclear program. but on which alone would cause the north york to something. she's an amateur. who would pass out to the bankers and bow. to the model for what other waters you go through four hundred dollars hands on your work you don't see what our peril. on the other all you know they are. going to. commit some thought we don't have the war. in the south or go in and out from the phone so. somebody. types it out is. to have their own will to give you this check i would

have thought we were two or three times people for whom is i'm talking about would somebody who know. were for the good or who is ok small town is mostly. shortly before we left north korea we were allowed to interview one of the country's most important economic scientists at the social studies they can implant again. professor. song. oh. oh. you look so there would or to. be one would know a certain don't lie to me big or small you would be supporting it and then you can scam in money so true polly pocket has so you know the answer true mawson of course

if you go you. talk song we'll book. and we'll probably have no call in real time data send. us hegel k.g. i'm a sit there d'oh b. when we. come to. us or we would have. been talkin is a money order you were telling us her she's. in her new movie. we actually wrote your school or call or told sourcing in order. for jungleland to hutchison. or doesn't.

see the roads is still eerily empty. but there is splashes of color. its life is hot its aims less hard than before. thanks to the money coming through office thirty nine. has a nuclear bomb that protects him beyond the border. now the young dictator is also spending to strengthen his power base in the country. while his ancestors built statue he's building trying its bowling center and swimming pools museums and they

police and they know them got just the links. it appears north korea's secret foreign funds a defacing the sanctions and helping to live a prosperous in science economics and law stop perhaps enough to ensure the kim family dictatorship survives its third generation. aboud. in afghanistan billions of dollars of international aid have been donated to girls' education but where has the money gone. girls desperate to learn and why is the system failing them. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.

the american people with the truth and nothing else discovered the formula for winning the white house unfair game. i'm. some of the like. this is al jazeera. hello i was the whole robin you're watching the al-jazeera news headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the african union says it has serious

doubts about the democratic republic of congo's election and asked for the final results to be delayed. also turned on sudanese police officers opened fire at the funeral of a man killed during the latest antigovernment violence. and stephanie decker in back in the occupied west bank will be showing you what impact israel's restrictions and checkpoints have on the lives of palestinians. healthy for us and our planet scientists come up with the ideal diet to get in shape. all of your sports is coming up including an upset at the asian cup the saudi arabia in the first match between the teams since the saudi led blockade of qatar began nineteen months ago. welcome to the news of the african union has made

a surprise intervention in the democratic republic of congo's disputed elections saying it has serious doubts about the vote and it wants the final results announcement due on friday to be. provisional results which declared opposition leader fielitz to the winner are being challenged in court his chief rival accuses him of plotting with outgoing president joseph kabila to rig the outcome see farm bill. although the situation on the ground has fortunately remained generally calm a so far it remains holly worrying to put it bluntly we have serious doubts about the results in the democratic republic of congo. the election delayed several times since twenty sixteen was beset with problems including the exclusion of about a million voters in the east where there's an outbreak uncertainty about the weather threatens to spawn violence in the country hoping for its first peaceful transition of power since independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty well

let's cross over to can chancellor correspond following events for us and her extreme your mutual statements by the african union and one wonders what reaction to it has been from where you are. in the congo where they are confusing the african union saying one thing but in leaders from the southern african development community in ethiopia and they issued a statement in that statement that foreign countries should not interfere in the process only the congolese people can result in a crisis and it urging everyone including the international media to wait for the outcome of the court to be sort of apparent confusion among african leaders over the weekend when there issued a statement saying that they want a recount of the election and that the issued a statement of the hours later thing that is not opposition people should just wait for the outcome from this what i think me being around the country in africa the

leaders are divided on the issue of course it does make you wonder how this could influence the way the constitutional court will act and that's where you are right now in terms of making their announcement we expected something on thursday that possibly even saying they might delay it even on friday so one wonders when that announcement might be. like you said we outside the courtroom usually that big an article is going to be made there will be a lot more activity right now it's fairly quiet there which is meant to broker a development isn't even here they haven't even. come close by the court that they have not been told anything. any announcement as a way to let everyone else when this announcement is made which could be next week if it doesn't happen today with the judges rule they could say that the kitty won the election which need to be sworn in as president they could order a recount or they could say the election was such an issue be held again which could take several months organizing maybe even years that means president joseph

kabila remains the leader and to those elections are held how much info you react they are the is if you're not happy with a court decision he could tell a supporters to go on the streets and protest and there are fears that could be violence will come back to the progress as her if there are any more developments for the moment thank you. joining me know bon scott from just outside of london is political analyst thanks so much for joining us live on. how much of a constitutional crisis are we actually facing in the democratic republic of congo right now. actually we're not even in the constitutional crisis we and our management crisis is a political management issue now or we stall these counties process off the election now we're out so we've very poor results being contested by everyone and head of state from all over africa and all of the world and media will do even more on the table today when

a cultic situation i think when it was turned away and leave things try to find solution because the risk is very very are to go you know very serious. we don't want to leave you don't want something similar i think we need to try and see what the best way to get out of this situation which is strictly a cowlick. would you then regard to the comments made by the african union or zambia about their concern over the results noninterference is suggested by a sudden back and south africa so is there a conflict there as well in terms of a political conflict should i say between various big groups within africa about how to deal with the impasse that we're seeing at the moment in the congo. and again when you took us ten months from these states separately and when you see them by little groups and when you see them and you say it shows that the reason or

vision it's all that level of africa management of the conflict and i think we should try and leave these two got its hands and let them find solutions and solution is an issue and. process to be negotiated in congo but you can't possibly understand the fact that the longer that there is a delay in the confirmation of those results the more uncertainty for the public at large in the congo so how can i call that a you help are we looking potentially at some sort of intervention similar to the way that echo us in got involved in the gambia in twenty sixteen after their sort of disputed presidential election i do not think this is the way to process it because remember we had three elections in one and that's what sort of issue how do we go with parliamentary. national in the provincial level of this

situation is more complicated then again yeah i think we should be able to be wise enough to give the freedom to these people to try and find sort of to look at it in terms of the current incumbent president president kabila he is obviously the person of the d r c at the moment despite everything that's going on is there a role for him in trying to solve the impasse or is it too much of a problem at the moment to try and be a solution to it. i do not think violence all solve any issue and i don't think mr guppy that is the move to break. out and i think we need to go and present the things forward and find solutions for the long we should not go backward and it doesn't help it oh well for the moment we'll leave it there mr al can take it thanks so much for joining us from london thank you. mourners have
