that even that was an astonishingly high number so it has no support in parliament and that means that if we are getting to that new deal scenario parliament will do anything m.p.'s will consider things that were previously thought on thinkable in order to stop that no deals now or are not really i think is the only way the trees they can bring back deal but i do think is that if we get to that new deal points the revocation becomes an option if you have an option between no deal and just canceling the whole process that could happen or more likely a referendum based on theresa may still she wouldn't tolerate that but it might be there in the option so what's to play for there thank you very much indeed jonathan this joining us there from london yes president donald trump insists he's not playing games after being his threat to close the border with mexico he's voted to go ahead with it since mexico doesn't stop people from crossing into the u.s.

illegally mike hanna reports. president trump arrives to view a rehabilitation project at a lake in florida but it's not the wind blowing water level or this dam wall that's of the most on his mind rather his fury with what he describes as mexico's reluctance to prevent immigration across the southern border patrol mexico's stuff they can stop them but they chose not to now they're going to stop them and if they don't stop them with closing the border they will close it and what will keep it closed for a long time i'm not playing games mexico has to stop it this repeating what he said in earlier tweets if mexico doesn't immediately stop all illegal immigration coming into the united states through our southern border and getting the h. in his anger i will be closing the border or large sections of the border next week . it's a threat the president made back in december but never carried it through however his latest comments follow warnings from the department of homeland security that

its resources have become strained and border officials say more people are expected to be apprehended at the border this march than in any month in more than a decade the consequences of closure would be severe impacting on two way trade that is worth more than six hundred billion dollars a year well mike hanna is live for us in washington d.c. mike what's behind this announcement. well it has been coming for a while the president clearly angered at the situation on that southern border we remember his argument he had with congress over the bulling a wall he vetoed congressional legislation that rejected his emergency declaration on the border and so that situation is that emergency regulation is still in force but in recent days and indeed weeks porter had been insisting that they have a situation at the border that they simply cannot cope with they are not sufficient

officers they say they are not sufficient facilities to cope with the numbers that they say are coming across the border and him the course of the day the homeland secretary nielson also issued a press statement and maybe coincidentally just off the president made his comments saying that the system was in freefall very strong words from the homeland security secretary so there are all these factors coming together president trump of this time it would appear is insistent that he could go ahead and close that border but the economic ramifications would be absolutely huge and then maybe some with the his ministration who like the last time he made this threat have argued very strongly against such a move and mike hanna in washington d.c. thanks very much for that let's get the view from mexico manuel republic joins us from tijuana city close to the u.s.

boards are people reacting to this news for you on. one of the first reactions that we heard was from mexican foreign minister marcello butt out who took to twitter to say that mexico does not act on threats adding that mexico is a good neighbor to the united states where we are right now just outside the u.s. southern border again as mike mentioned a massively important border economically for both countries in the united states and in mexico. but for the most part people here in mexico do not hang on to every statement on every tweet that president and trump makes in fact the mexican government has already acted on several policy directives by the united states when it comes to containment when it comes to the policy of the so-called remain in mexico program that requires central american asylum seekers to return to mexico to wait for their case numbers to be called while there are asylum process is completed in courts in the united states this is the this is

a departure from decades of asylum policy in the united states that would otherwise allow asylum seekers to to be able to wait in the united states until their cases are filed until their court dates are called so what president trump is calling for lacks specificity what we hear overwhelmingly from immigration experts is that without addressing the root causes of migration in central america and the northern triangle countries. and what they might where there's where there's high high tendencies of violence high levels of poverty and political corruption without addressing that how can mexico and how can the united states stem the flow of migrants so what's interesting to people here in mexico i think is is to understand what exactly it is that the united states is calling for what exactly it is that the trump administration wants mexico to do to stem the flow of migration and to stop the phenomenon of migrant caravans that we've been seeing over the course of the last year. and

a repeat of the speaking from two want to thank you very much. and the miller reports n.c. possible russian interference in the twenty sixteen year selection is sent to be released to the public in mid april attorney general william barr has already summarized its findings in a letter to congress report's found no conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia but reached no judgments on obstruction of justice allegations against the president's democrats are demanding the phil reports be released but some parts are expected to remain classified. plenty more ahead on the news hour including. reports of a deal between hamas and israel as palestinians prepare to mark a year of gaza protests. the head of the arab league rejects donald trump's recognition of israel sovereignty over the occupied golan heights. and in sports

i'm here to confirm the people's demands they have to listen to us. earlier this week the army backed the coolest a president abdulaziz with a flicker to step down. the ruling party its coalition partner and algeria's biggest union have joined the calls for beautifully could to go the national lawyers union reemphasize its demand that the eighty two year old president must leave office. he has been my wife and we reiterate our support for the peaceful popular movement which calls for a change in the system of governance the creation of a new republic that respects the southern tier of the people. and the principle of the law of the union calls for a positive response to the demands of the people within whom as sovereign power resides. local media reported millions of people came out to demonstrate in towns and cities across the country this is the town of g. jail in the east. and it was

a similar scene in misc done in the west. we want to move to a real democratic country for a transitional period and to set a new algerian government which will be elected by the people and not by this government we are against this government oh but even if beautifully could does go that won't be enough for the protesters they want a complete overhaul of an establishment that has been entrenched in power since algeria's independence from france in one thousand nine hundred sixty two they want the resignation of the ruling elite it is such a long sign to flee for twenty years for anything like that to happen the powerful military would have to agree and it's very sensitive to signs of instability. everyone is waiting for the constitutional council to rule beautifully because fitness for office based on health reasons it's given no indication when it will

league will take little action on the many issues facing the middle east. the arab league has any regional or international organizations like the united nations like the european community or the european union union when its members are committed to its charter when they are truly representative of the people and and truly loyal to this group and then the group it works the arab league's continues to fail because its member states continue to fail because out abrasions today care only about one thing their survival's they don't get about anything they don't care about most i mean most of the arab regimes cared about their survival they don't get about their people's interest they don't care about the collective political and strategic work at the arab league headquarters in cairo there are some magnificent documents about joint defense about a road map to economic common market about cultural this and that and the other

al jazeera. where ever you are. in twenty sixty one the one east revealed that girls from me and some as young as fifteen were trafficked to singapore to work as many it's illegal and costing lives so why does it still continue when law abiding singapore one the one east. you're watching al-jazeera a quick reminder all of the top stories this hour. britain's parliament turns rejected a slimmed down version of to resume a's e.u.

second as a result of the demonstrations that were largely being mobilized through social media and if you take a look at this he not now this is by next block and that tracks and. disruptions in real time and you'll see these green blobs changing across the screen and those are areas where the internet was instructed in from the twenty second of february when that march happened so the twenty six that it's happened a multiple number of times since this isn't the first time the authorities in algeria have disrupted that access they did it last year as well but for a very different reason to stop cheating in high school exams that that was after they discovered at the end of the year that papers were being leaked on social media and even back in twenty eleven during the arab spring in egypt algiers internet was also disrupted of course out of fear of protests spreading across the region as a whole now this year has already seen a number of countries pull the plug on the internet venezuela sudan and even

zimbabwe just to name a few but how do they do it exactly while a government orders telecommunication companies or internet service providers to cut off or simply just slow down the internet across the entire country or even in certain hotspots often they say it's because of national security and even misinformation now it could be a complete blackout all the destruction can happen to certain websites and even mobile apps like what's up now digital rights activists a warning that internet freedom continues to decline globally in fact chad's as of friday has now spent a full year without access to internet and social media platforms like facebook twitter whatsapp and even viber and this tweet just kind of gives you an idea because it says families and friends have been disconnected businesses have even struggle to market themselves and journalists have been restricted in their attempts to reports reports unnoticed by the way there's

a hashtag just in the corner keep its own that's been used for internet blackouts and this is also a problem because internet destruction like these have widespread effects especially on the economy. and if you take a look at this also by net blocks if you put in the countries i'm going to put a chant in here and it will give you an idea of how much they stand to lose per day every day for when internet is destructed or even blocks and here it's a little over a half a million dollars of course but if you actually look at somewhere like in the u.s. where people are so much more connected you've got seven been dollars there that could be lost in one single day that just gives you an idea of the impacts when a government shuts down the internet of course there are ways around it v.p.n. is one of those things but it doesn't always work the united nations security council is meeting to discuss the deteriorating situation in mali they're asking for more troops and resources as fighting intensifies some countries are pulling
