i feel as though sunny when it's almost all commandos i missed out on the bun and i got to name it the whole lot but i just don't know me it was good in this case he. told us not to. google just good but we want to probability s. if you want to go well yes but a good place to go into a little bubble was a good one as you know a lot of modesty and there were v.n. in all the limo we'll put up to school with that a bunny thought as a middle kid ok so how do. you want to throw. it in the sneaker has. suspended one of the you. given the go to the. been a good source of the last couple that are not compatible see the bottle to come into.

few fish few i merely asked him cod he is a first generation american. if such. a fish. her father and mother emigrated from italy when emilio was a child and tonight she and her sisters gather for sunday dinner. together chalfont funnily enough i somehow thought it was a. it's ok i want me to answer to that. pitching point. over the family what. was going on interesting the first time was see somebody do i find out. that. detonating get along when i

was young and we certainly don't get along now. i think it's because we're a lot alike so we bought had to live through it and i watched soccer i was trying to teach outgoing chief. rubin to keep. my parents made a decision based on what they thought was the best thing for us. but i didn't adjust to this country at all and i think it affected probably the next twenty years of my life. that's my grand that's the house that we moved in when we moved from italy right here. my grandfather my grandmother my mom my dad and myself and my sister we all lived in the slawson. i did not want to be here. they told us that it was for a better life. and then give us

a choice this is where we're going then i remember at the airport that there was so many people so many people kids we went to school with. that. you know came there and you know the tears the crying because they knew they were they were probably never see a cigar and. this is my mom and italy. oh my gosh. these are more these are all in adelaide for sure every one of these she's on the phone here. right now horse. that was a real happy time for her. she's only been back once. you know her last day of school walking home with her sister doing our.

last day of school in italy where they came from here and. i think one of the things that i always. i wonder if my life would have been different there. if it came here you know would i have struggled with. years. you know would have be fifty in the world couldn't. really have. much of a future but who do you blame you know there's nobody to blame but i made choices and i live with consequences every day of the choices that have made i had opportunities go to college and to do other things but you know my drug addiction and alcoholism got in the way of that. i think in the beginning of when she first

moved here she you know had a hard time figuring out how she was going to fit in she was so different from all the other kids so she kind of drifted towards troublemakers who didn't care who she was or where she came from you know as long as she was willing to party with them i did see her hit rock bottom i've seen her so emaciated you wouldn't even recognize her she would disappear for days she's stolen my car she's left me stranded places the reason i stuck by her is because on the days when she was clean i could see that there was this person this other amelia this good person but a target sober it was almost thirty. i came home to a daughter and i had to play mom.

had to talk about her. she would go but. most kids should never even. hear about the things that she said to live. and. how that was put in and out of prison for years and never get child support. i dropped her off at my parent's house when she was six months old. and i came back permanently when she was six years old. that you know what her favorite food was.

the funeral of a man killed during the latest anti-government protests. the u.s. and north korea announced a second denuclearization summit tough to pyongyang's lead negotiator meets with president trump and of the secretary of state might compare. a colombian armed group used by for a car bombing that killed twenty one people at a police academy in bogota also. i'm stephanie decker in bethlehem in the occupied west bank will be showing you what impact israel's restrictions and checkpoints have on the lives of palestinians. and. puts on a show for the turtles crowd in melbourne between. the australian open for throne there are more on the way later in the program.

welcome to the program we begin in sudan where the funeral of a protester has become the latest flashpoint of antigovernment on rest demonstrators blocked roads rocks and attacked a police vehicle security forces responded with tear gas and live ammunition activists say at least fifty people have died since protests against price rises and the president began last month though such a bari has mall. well you got it. right the anger of these protesters was clear at the funeral of one of the latest victims who was killed on thursday at the hands of security forces was according to reports he was six years old and was shot for offering refuge to protesters. who are a little. idle he is not the only victim a doctor and a child were also killed at the hands of security forces on thursday in the capital hearts. and at the doctor's funeral on friday further protests broke out.

chanting freedom at an impromptu sit in outside a hospital in khartoum was these protesters were initially on their way to the presidential palace to demand president omar bashir to end his nearly three decades in office. but the latest victims bodies were brought here so they change their path. freedom peace and justice is their slogan and these people are not showing any signs of going away on thursday demonstrators clashed with police yet again in the capital hard to know. the activists say at least fifty people have been killed since the protests began on december nineteenth that's when the government decided to raise the price of bread but the authorities say that number is twenty eight well believe me here still more are the ones that are demands are the demands of everyone and god willing we will continue in

a group be successful our protest today is large and we are going in the right direction. soaring inflation and high unemployment have led to these protests that are fast becoming the most sustained challenge to the rule of omar al bashir in three decades. without going to the will he remains defiant for now saying they are being organized by external aid. since and ordering his security forces to use tear gas and life ammunition against the crowds both the e.u. and the un have urged restraint it won't be we reaffirm that we care about the young and their concerns we call on the young to be positive and preserve their country and not listen to cause that they stabilized today and its security was the . but it's not just the young on the streets they seem to be coming from all walks of life. and this period of discontent in sudan looks set to continue.

the door such a pari al-jazeera. more now from morgan has been out any of the latest protests she sent us this update. i'm back to bristol with the leaders of the protesters and once again we see hundreds of people coming out to protest saying that the police used live ammunition and tear gas to protest try to kill themselves to protest you know the street was going to shop you know we see people saying that they've had enough of this the fact that they come up peace with the fact that they've left and it's still that they're met with force it's very frustrating for them to say they're just trying to voice their demands that president obama should step down that they want to very decent lives to talk to people yes to talk to people to get to this day that all they want is for their demands to be heard all they want is for him to step down and handle farted into council know these protests are going on for a month three people were killed yesterday two of them from the area where i am right now and people are saying that they want the police to be back for what they have done they want the police to be held accountable it's not clear how far this

would go where this was and obviously this has been going on for months like i said i am this international says at least forty people have been killed activists to flee safety with the government saying that the death toll is twenty four now people are saying that it doesn't matter what the government will do the president said he's going to try to change it seems the president said he's going to try to prove the economic situation but people are saying to put this promises over and over again and the only thing they want is one him to step down and see somebody else to control sudan have to cross through to the divine president who said he's not going to step down and between the people who say they will continue to protest until he does. of all is the executive director of the world peace foundation at the fletcher school at tufts university joins us live from boston now thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us reports from sudan suggest that that has been the use of excessive force by security forces that do you fear they'll be more bloodshed. i think of as things go for sure will be more bloodshed the key word here is sustained protest and not just

in khartoum also in a number of major provincial cities and perhaps it's in those cities that we should those other cities that we should be more concerned about lethal force so this sustained protest is move is meeting an apparently immovable object president bashir who has expressed no indication of any significant compromise let alone stepping down so i fear there is more of this to come if you mention the provincial cities where there could be developments that we're not necessarily aware of all perhaps is a lack of information coming from these places do you think we have a clear picture of what is happening in sudan at the moment. well i think overall we do have a clear picture which is as your correspondents have said the most widespread sustained societal least supported protests against this government for

for thirty years since it it came to power very much redolent of the protests that brought down the previous military dictatorships of abraham upload in one nine hundred sixty four jeff and he married in one thousand nine hundred five and of course the the arab spring protests of of of eight years ago and remarkably despite the provocations from the security forces despite the fact that there are ongoing rural insurrections in different parts of saddam these are overwhelmingly disciplined nonviolent protests and it is that commitment to nonviolence to a peaceful change that has meant that the death toll whether it is forty or fifty one one doesn't know but the death toll has been far less than it would have been if these protests have been met with the kind of ruthless military action that we've seen in response to military insurgencies in darfur in the south and in the

nuba mountains economic problems have now led to calls for political change will president bashir be able to write this out. well he has one set of very strong cards to play which is that in the past and in other countries faced with this sort of protest the critical factor has been the army the army has has been a more or less independent national institution with the army command taking of the decision of the critical point to abandon the president the president and stand with the people now in the case of saddam the army is deeply divided and president bashir has a deep and personal encyclopedic knowledge of the officer corps and moreover he has a separate parallel national intelligence and security service which is also extremely well armed which can be a force commensurate with that of the army in khartoum and other major cities so

the senior military and security officers do not have that sort of institutional cohesion which would allow them to turn against the president so i think it's very likely that we can have a stalemate that president bashir will be able to stay in power for for the time being while the country continues in this on pass in this economic and political crisis thank you very much for your analysis alex deval executive director of the world peace foundation affected school at tufts university you're very welcome. now to our other top story this hour the white house says a second summit between donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un will take place at the end of february junks lead negotiator a new pay to play mystique in young child as hell talks with the president and secretary of state might impair trump's first meeting with kim jong un took place in singapore in june of last year but he joins us now from washington passy what

more do we know about the talks have just taken place and what they might might try to accomplish in s. second summit. well somewhat for us to frustrating lee at least for the media we didn't see very much we saw a brief pause for a handshake between your secretary of state mike pump a on the chief north korean negotiator kim yong schol but we do know that after that the meeting apparently well well enough to travel to the white house and had a ninety minute meeting with u.s. president donald trump after that the state department says the secretary basically treated the north korean delegation to lunch at their washington d.c. hotel then we saw the white house press secretary come out and say things went so well we're going to go ahead with the second summit it's going to happen at the end of february and yet to be determined country although there's been a lot of speculation that it will be vietnam in vietnam now there this is been controversial president met with him in singapore he came out after the means said sleep well everyone's problem solved and basically said north korea is going to

denuclearize they haven't done that according to sources inside the u.s. government the u.s. has been asking just for a list of what weapons they haven't have not been able to get those and there's a fight over what denuclearization actually means but for the white house as part they say look what we haven't seen are a missile tests or any new nuclear tests and that is in itself progress so this summit is going to be an attempt to actually push it forward because right now we've had a proclamations but we've seen no concrete steps to actually get to the goal which the president said was already solved so there will be pressure at this summit to have something more than what they had at the first summit but from the white house perspective they say this is progress talking means something thank you very much from washington patty calling. in on the developments president trump has denied allegations that he directed his then personal lawyer to lie to congress of plans to build a trump tower in moscow accusations have been made been in a report by buzz feed news well now damage.
