ruled a district court judge called donald trump's reversal of an environmental protection policy from the obama era unlawful and invalid this means the drilling ban in much of the arctic ocean will come back into effect the ruling is the result of a lawsuit brought by a coalition of environmental groups following trump's executive order robins has more from washington d.c. . federal judge sharon gleason says president donald trump exceeded his constitutional authority when he issued an executive order back in april of two thousand and seventeen that essentially stripped away all protections against explore ation and oil drilling from a five hundred thousand square kilometers of waters off in the arctic and north atlantic oceans trump has tried repeatedly to roll back environmental protections that were made during the emboss obama administration but he has been unsuccessful in large part because environmentalists as in this case keep taking

the administration to court and they keep winning the judge in this case said that once a president applies the designation of a national monument or a protected area under laws that date in some cases back well over one hundred years no future president can reverse those decisions by themselves it has to be done by an act of congress not simply by an executive order as the president did in this case so the affected areas which are principally off the coast of alaska which will now be protected at least for several years as this case works its way through the court system our home to a number of endangered species including bowhead whales and polar bears the weather is still ahead on al jazeera. and

mexico until their case numbers are called yes back at the i arrived in tehran and applied for a number because they said that with the number everything would work out now i'm saying that's not the case with. most of the people at this shelter have been here for several months many of them tell us they don't feel safe just. the americans asked me if i had somewhere to stay and. i said no we don't we don't have family here or anything they asked if it's dangerous for us in mexico and i said yes we run a risk there but they still send us back here i don't feel that's right. the city of the one who has seen an increase in violent crime in recent months there have been almost five hundred people killed so far in two thousand and eighteen adding to the more than twenty five hundred homicides reported last year. for central american asylum seekers like nineteen year old idea of being stuck in mexico seems just as dangerous as returning to his home in honduras about you and. your interior

conflict in many places like the mindanao region displaces thousands more experts say the poor are most likely to be homeless and that's worsened by growing population more than twenty two million filipinos are now living in extreme poverty the government says it's taking action we hope the programs projects are. all government agencies local government units we contribute to really eradicate poverty in the country. as most of the unemployed to have no proof of home ownership the government has classified them as illegal settlers people like there is c.t.e. mary-rose his mother she moved here in one thousand nine hundred eighty three after her husband died and raised her children on her own more than thirty five years later she is still classed as an illegal settler you know what you would like to be

relocated to an affordable housing through we can finally own a home so we can pay for it little by little there are many shanties like this one in the capital manila people live in small areas without adequate sanitation yet filipinos continue to come here looking for jobs and many like there is he to you say living without a permanent home makes them feel they're lost and drifting. dogon al-jazeera manila . hello i'm mr hall with the headlines on al-jazeera three people have been killed and at least two hundred forty palestinians injured during protests at the gaza israel fence a fourth man died from injuries sustained on friday israeli forces fired tear gas and live ammunition as tens of thousands gathered to mark the first anniversary of

focused on human rights around the world now amnesty itself is facing allegations of abuse and mistreatment by its own staff has honesty fall into the lowest point in its history do you think misty's secretary general. talks to al-jazeera. are we on the verge of another major war in gaza and as the us signs off on israel's illegal occupation of the golan heights is it time to declare the peace process dead and buried i'll ask israel's ambassador to the u.n. a longstanding opponent of a two state solution that internal. and buster danny danon thank you for joining me up front there's an old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting

different results what different results do you think israel is achieving by bombing garza yet again this week apart from risking more innocent lives on both sides and bolstering support for hamas again when you have tax against civilian population you have to retaliate you have to send a clear message we try our best to focus that tax on military infrastructure in gaza and like hamas were doing exactly the opposite they are committing a double war crime because of this then the rockets who didn't population this time for mass and they targeted my community responsibility and population it is a double war crime and we have no intention and actually we all of the bombs and all of the attacks of the our force was only targeted on the military person are you saying how massa guilty of war crimes you say israel is retaliating for people who were killed how must palestinians in gaza would say the same they would say we are retaliating and you are guilty of war crimes the un your israel's permanent

representative to the u.n. last month a commission of inquiry formed by the un human rights council found that your country may have committed war crimes and even crimes against humanity in gaza last year killing one hundred eighty nine palestinians in protest of the girl's offense including medics journalists people with disabilities and you injured nine thousand others. let's talk about the those facts first of all the un the so-called inquiry commission for the human rights council is a joke so what happened there and what happened last year you have sixty thousand people marching to our fans what would have happened you think if you would have come to the sense of the will break the silence and then what they would say that it we want to go back to gather no they would continue they would march into our communities in israel and they were. there we were among them they said we want to kidnap israelis we want to kill israelis so that the law is the one is the solution

then so let me ask you this question what is the solution to gaza because in the past your solution you personally called for quote the deletion you said every neighborhood in gaza from which a rocket is fired should be deleted you said electricity and fuel should be cut off to gaza all of that is a war crime you know that it's a war crime to do those things that you're proposing so let's look first of all what's happening in gaza today we pulled out of gaza i want to remind you it's still defined under international law though according to the u.n. it still occupies a we pulled out completely from gaza prime minister sharon took out all the jewish settlements the communities in gaza the only ones occupying gaza today if you let me just know what the united nations let me ask for israel you're here representing the israeli government do you seriously expect us to believe that these israeli attacks in gaza this week have nothing to do with the upcoming elections of april the ninth that they have nothing to do with the fact the prime minister netanyahu has been accused by his opponents including by retired general benny gantz who's

now leading in the polls of being too soft on hamas that this is a political body your question is political we didn't start anything in gaza what happened in the hamas sent a missile and destroyed a house with kids and that's what ignited the process the conflict so how can you even blame the prime minister will that you say you be the man. maybe when seeing the prime minister we were asked to send with the risk of going to with respect to whether you're asking me how could i question the privacy you yourself accuse benjamin netanyahu in the past of making quote fake rightwing noises in a quest for votes those are your words not mine you said he makes. a lot so you disagree. i mean for more than twenty five you can you can be as many as you want but he's not from twenty five metres this is from twenty fourteen you accuse prime minister netanyahu in gulzar of making fake right wing noises about wanting

to destroy hamas in quote a quest for votes so forgive me if i ask you is this latest attack a quest for votes to quote yourself so i am giving you an answer we did not. want to launch a missile. on five pm in the morning because. that fact and the other thing you know is a little one hundred eighty nine palestinians last year let me ask about the peace process so-called on monday u.s. president donald trump signed an executive order recognizing the annex the golan heights as part of israeli territory in complete defiance of u.n. resolutions your prime minister reacted by saying quote everyone says you can't hold an occupied territory but this proves you can does that mean does that mean that the occupied west bank can now be annexed to doesn't apply to the occupied west bank as well. we went for president important decision then we are grateful for the leadership we showed the golan heights for nineteen years with the use by

the syrians to attack our communities in the northern galilee and then when we took over the grand hyatt nine hundred sixty seven it became stable became quiet and you one hundred ninety one the u.n. condemned you including the ronald reagan administration now as you say trump is backing you i'm wondering are you now going to annex the west bank as well because you have trump support you you're a supporter of annexation of you you personally i'm not i'm not familiar with the president i'm not asking about president trump i'm asking about the israeli government is the israeli government going to annex the west bank yes or no it's a very simple question so i'm answering you that i'm not familiar with the plan to do it now we are waiting to hear from by the round two peace initiative to discuss it and the palestinians who don't even want to look at it we respect the work that is being done in washington about that and respect any mission but if you're palestinian and you're the u.n. ambassador danny danon comes to talk why would they want to talk with you when your

own record on this channel in fact a few years ago there is place only for one state on the land of israel i do not believe in a two state solution turn it down on. first of the don't come to negotiate with me the negotiate over the top israeli diplomat at the u.n. your views don't matter and even then even the prime minister when he wants to meet with president abbas it's not happening and by the way prime minister netanyahu said he's willing to negotiate everything he said i would come to the room and willing to speak about everything and you should have the prime minister agree and you support the prime minister on the. so do you support it just as allusion to the government do you support a two state solution. negotiation you want to do now is exactly when there are none other than israeli government a formal position is a two state solution they claim promise no claims to support a two state solution do you his ambassador to the united nations yes or no very some. negotiations are going to go see just what do you support

a two state solution at the end of those negotiations like the rest of the world like your prime minister claims to yes or no. i support the things that men tend to have their best not what i'll study it i don't know. why it's so complicated to say i do suppose i do that you know because i don't support a two states i tell you why tell you why because the u.n. i'm used to countries mainly trying to come to the end of the conflict without having a dialogue without getting your own judgment on its position on i'll give it pretty well as anybody the israeli government claims to support a two state solution but you clearly don't because you want to say so on the show. that in that way if you want to have any progress in the middle east the palestinians should stop the incitement stop the payments for five hundred million dollars a year and enter the room and without directly they can come to the u.n. they should negotiate with a person who doesn't say he supports

a palestinian state can palestinians really do a peace deal with a prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is facing indictment on multiple charges of bribery fraud breaches of trust he's as likely to end up in prison as he is to win the next election in our democracy you will innocent until it's proven that you are guilty and the prime minister like everybody else in the country has their rights to go and to pull. i'm not disputing his right and i'm not disputing any of that i'm saying that he is facing indictment according to the attorney general of your country on multiple charges of bribery fraud breaches of trust that's pretty bad that's not a normal thing i know we've got used to political corruption in some parts of the world but that is not a normal thing to have a prime minister charged with so many crimes or about to be indicted for so many first exam you have to wait because he's going down yet tony general says they're coming your own country's attorney general says they're coming. you mean. you will do. ok another reason the palestinians might say they have no

faith in you and why the why the international community is so worried about prime minister netanyahu aims is that you have a prime minister of israel who supports the arab racists and has even supported bringing them into his own government i'm referring here to the jewish power party or who did it whose leader calls himself a contest which is a terrorist group in the united states and who himself was bombed for running for office by israel's own supreme court just last week because of his anti racism. i'm amazed from your passion marty i haven't heard you or anyone else in your network speaking about the leadership or about the article that's not true i got it out i've actually had a most people on the show know i'm going to interrupt you how much people have come on the show and i've challenged them on their intolerant language i'm asking you about the prime minister of israel you claim to be a liberal democracy allying with anti arab racists can you please deal with that point so. as

a strong democracy we have rules and the rule of law is above all. to side decided to disqualify one of the members of the least want to become a member of the knesset used to be a middle knesset because he used their comments and by the way they disqualify and the jewish radical member of the knesset and they did not disqualify the arabs one who are very radical as well fair enough you are not going to get into the last thing about i only ever ask you are you ok with the prime minister of israel allying with a party that backs the calmest a terrorist group that backs a part of wants to bring into government a party so extreme that this little was done for money. let's stick to the fact the prime minister never said that he wants to bring them into the government the prime minister when you look at the story the prime minister for the last thirteen years and you can see the government put together in the last thirty years it was liable so he's not resigning example of

a jewish woman jewish power in cabinet as has been reported widely in these very press. i haven't heard that deals with all those via the radical. mention but at the end members of congress are being elected in israel and we should let the public decide who they want to be in the knesset the american jewish committee the a.j.c. apac the lobbying group you spoke up this week your strongest allies in the us have called jewish power a racist and reprehensible party why is the prime minister dealing with this party why is he welcoming them why is he allowing them to do in union with the jewish home the prime minister said one thing that the disparity and one for the knesset like to divide equal our parties are allowed to run for the knesset and the superior court is the one to decide whether you are allowed to run or not to allow to and you didn't say that they will be part of his government if you don't say more than that you want to respond up the ante whose leader has called for the expulsion of arabs another party whose leader said there should be segregated

maternity wards between palestinian and jewish mothers you're not embarrassed linking it with simultaneous. our democracy allows radicals to be in the knesset in the parliament when i would you know. you heard. kerry's supporting hamas supporting the law so. we accepted that it was uncomfortable for us but we allowed that this is demands of our democracy and it goes both ways if you can allow our. country to be in the knesset you can allow law to come for the right to be in the knesset but others who will limit the the line you keep talking about radicals right at apac this week you spoke at the apac convent policy conference in washington d.c. you were attacked the us democratic congresswoman omar for her controversial criticism of a pac some of which she's apologized for you said quote if you have people that use that kind of language eventually i think the public needs to remove them from

office some would say dunny down on shouldn't the same apply to you you've called african asylum seekers in israel infiltrators you've called them a national plague you've called for them to be expelled nothing in how o'mara said it's come anywhere near to that kind of dehumanizing rhetoric that you've used. so are some of the quotes you mention are not correct but that's. correct i think i have seen this fact that you have seen congress the public to decide whether they should continue or not same in israel if the public saw that i am my views are not correct they wouldn't elect me again and again and again and i think today when you see what's happening in the us when you have radicals is going anti-semitic language and speaking of the jews he'll do our loyalty this is embarrassing imo is an embarrassing when you refer to african asylum seekers as infiltrators and a national plague so i don't think i said what you just mentioned and then you will

find it i would be happy to everything is digital today you started on a rally in twenty twelve in south tel aviv as reported by arabs they infiltrated our national plague and we must uphold them translational i regret those comments and sure i am sure if you have a two day technology i would be very happy if you can show that when i say that everything is taped today so you cannot deny it i don't recall saying what you just quoted yes it was reported you knowledge but not everything which is reported is true but i think yes we should allow the public to decide about that when you have entered a semites in congress i think we should expect that the public will push them away isolate them and denounce them cutting down on thanks for joining me on that front . thank you very nice body. after a twenty two month long investigation into one of the most obsessive lee covered stories in the us media the special counsel investigation into possible collusion between the trump campaign and the russian government in the twenty sixteen u.s.

presidential election is now over and according to trump's attorney general the president is in the clear no collusion no obstruction of justice but is that the full story don't we need to see the full robert muller report or was this just a massive failure by trump media joining me to debate this our journalist and russia great critic aaron maté who's called the collusion allegations and conspiracy theory and david cay johnston a pulitzer prize winning journalist and author of the book it's even worse than you think what the trumpet ministration is doing to america david aaron thanks for joining me in the arena david can i start with you it looks like it's all over apparently robert muller did not conclude that anyone in the trump campaign quote conspired or coordinated with the russians in interfering in the elections that was supposed to be the main purpose of the investigation trump has been given the all clear you in the media the democrats you got it all wrong well actually bill

barres letter says that trump is not exonerated on obstruction of justice and he blames the issue of collusion in terms of the russian government the russian government operates often through all of darksome cut outs and other people who aren't directly the russian government so we need to see the moller report you've repeatedly called the russia great story a conspiracy theory is it now all done and dusted for you or does david have a point. well i certainly agree with david that we should see the full report but the fact that we haven't seen it yet i don't think should be used to deflect from the fact that muller has just permanently debug the conspiracy theory his mandate was to uncover ties between trump and the russian government in a bid to influence the two thousand and sixteen election the bar report makes clear that he did not and i don't think that bar was macare was amiss characterizing robert mueller robert muller who has the integrity. of

a marine we've been hearing about for two years about how great he is i don't think robert going to sit by so i think is the fact that here's what i don't get out of it as you say we've been hearing about him being a marine in great integrity for a couple of years but i follow your twitter through you and i to a column line you be one of the big critics of people who've been digging up for two years until he suddenly says something you agree with and now you're saying well we don't need the full report to come to a conclusion that this is all done in what you said last july and i quote you. we should not just believe well as claims now on faith without concrete evidence that's exactly what you've been doing since sunday isn't it. i've been believing that if robert muller had found evidence of a conspiracy he certainly would legit he would indict somebody for it and in a report in which he's investigating a trump russia conspiracy if he had found evidence of it he would say that there was a conspiracy but he says in his report that he found no that there was no collusion

found and obviously i am waiting to see the full report i can't wait to see the underlying evidence i just don't think it's going to provide people with the with the fuel for the narrative that they're thinking i think that even if anything ok what do you credibility david if people and you'll side of the argument to put it crudely how did so over reg the putting on us cable news and elsewhere you went on t.v. a few weeks ago i believe called donald trump a criminal an agent that was absurd even before the modern report came out to suggest that yes i'd like i corrected that i didn't realize i'd said agent i said asset and i believe it is a little bit a lot of that even without reading i know i wasn't even signed a contract to work for russian intelligence that's over again even though what we know. in the meaning in the intelligence world of asset donald trump is an asset he is what the old soviet called a useful idiot he has carried the water of the kremlin repeatedly on things like attacking nato and other positions now the world isn't black and white there's lots

of grays in here but all these roads keep leading back to the kremlin and to russia but the underlying important point here is we only know what bill bars spin is on the facts bill barr without being dishonest can put a spin on this that helps the person who put him in office after he had addition for that point and that's what we need to focus on i am to miller or do you trust a man who was appointed attorney general specifically to undermine this whole investigation represents the most dishonest president probably in the history of the united states do you trust his full page summary of a several hundred page report i think he only quoted sixty full words from the mother report you trust him it's certainly not the final say and we have to see the full report i totally agree i have to respond to what david just said because i think it exemplifies a dynamic that underscores how problematic russia gate has been so i david says that trump is a useful idiot of the kremlin and repeatedly does their bidding in this effort to

to sustain our conspiracy theory that trump and russia are in cahoots we have ignored all the actual things that trump has done against russia all of which have seriously escalated tensions between these two nuclear powers pulling out of the i.n.f. treaty thereby setting off basically a new nuclear arms race trying right now is trying to overthrow ally in venezuela trump is trying to stop a vital german russian gas pipeline and he can go on and on and on that are you going to vote on those are all good at telling our air i'm david baron i agree with the world is not black and white donald trump will do things that are contradictory all people do the world isn't black and white and keep in mind donald trump is totally incompetent. to be president so when you look at his actions what you were argument there again or if you know that all that let me add all of that let me introduce an argument here that you mentioned you know donald trump is kind of the whole key stuff he's done in russia and you're right to raise that we've raised that on the show as well but on the other hand you also then have to knowledge the

stuff he's done that doesn't make him look like a quote unquote useful idiot he stood next to vladimir putin in helsinki and said i trust president putin over my own intelligence agencies he says he didn't interfere in the election i agree with him surely our and by the way aren't you yourself spent the last couple of years pooh poohing the idea that the russians interfered in the election bubble of the manual now quoting to do a victory lap says that they did interfere so shouldn't you own the fact that david side got stuff wrong in collusion you got stuff wrong on russian interference in wiki leaks look think about the merits of that argument just because a prosecutor might get it right on one thing doesn't mean that they got it right on the other you can't have me i mean you basically say i don't cherry picking to the bits you know i'm not sure you know i mean i said what's going to go to write all the stuff i do agree with he doesn't mean he's going around the stuff i said do you disagree with the conclusion let me just be clear for our viewers do you disagree the conclusion mullah says specifically that they'd according to paul i didn't i think i do not dissimilar let me finish no determine that there were two main russian efforts to influence the twenty sixth election do you dispute that line

from you know i don't dispute it so you are for the media suggesting that well no no a second many first of all you're not characterizing my views of the last two years correctly and let me lay them out now my point is simply you have to assess each case on its merits i've assessed all the evidence to date for a trial conspiracy i've been arguing for two years that it's not there apparently felt the same ok all the available evidence i've seen undermines the case for it and now we have the conclusion from muller that it did not happen again i can't wait for the final report david briefly to respond to that i think there's a real simple issue here donald trump has the authority to make every word of this report public just the way the starr report was entirely made public why isn't he using his power to do so that's all we need to know the less we see every word of that report. why are we seeing it when donald trump has the power to release a report that he claims exonerates you are in is not we have to define donald trump and i have

a report that gives me complete and total exoneration as he tweeted earlier this week why they go into such desperate lengths to say it'll never be published you'll never see you'll just get a ball summary why it's way there but they're not saying that maybe they're not saying that trungpa said he wants the four report released and bara said they were going to release that they're going through with it and so intelligent you know very well right now republican senate is going out of their way rand paul just this week mitch mcconnell to block the publication of the full report you know that aren't. blocked the democrats are going to drive now to make it public ok listen i would love for trump right now to make the full fair and why isn't what i don't want to listen to why you know the the official story is that they're going to get really don't you know are you i don't care about the official story why do you think he hasn't released a report because i think they're going through right now to redact parts that they feel are sensitive we've heard about what a sensitive counterintelligence investigation this is so i'll tell you what they're saying about redacting sensitive parts is plausible i mean i can't prove they are

going to add all faith in the trumpet ministration ira not say david cay johnston thank you both for joining me in the arena we'll have to leave it there this debate is certainly not over that's our show up front will be back next week. they said what do you think of waterboarding i said i think we absolutely need it we should have it and if we catch the shit out of people in power investigates the private companies and move to a little less towns allegedly complicit in the illegal use of torture under interrogation the sun will rise once a day and sets are not a future in the hands of the cia you can make the sun shine or not rendition visited part one on out is iraq.

of return palestinians came out committed to their cause continue on the physics of a. we're here for the anniversary of land day and that has been stolen by israel we hate to tell everyone that we have rights and they've been taken by the israelis. for many here this is become a regular weekly routine a cycle of bullets and tear gas all of it bringing death and injury to the protesters. as in protest past some demonstrators ran toward the border fence and others hurled rocks toward israeli forces but today most stayed behind simply observing waiting to see what happens next but making a difference was the presence of hamas and islamic jihad volunteers who actively tried to keep things calm. despite the flare ups things have so far today been far less chaotic than many people feared they would be the question now what exactly happens next. the great march of return protests began on march thirtieth two

thousand and eighteen when civil society groups called for action against a twelve year blockade on gaza the original aim was to break through the fence and reclaim their ancestral land the protests were later organized by hamas saturday's anniversary was set against the backdrop of a bid by egypt to deescalate the latest round of tensions between israel and hamas negotiations are ongoing a massive issue is on the scene said they'd arrived at a crossroads you had that must hold up without everything will depend on how israel deals with protesters will they stop attacking civilians and stop the aggression and airstrikes on gaza and also going to respect what's been a great upon with the egyptians last some were cautiously optimistic about the prospect of a deal others worry a deal won't ensure things will fundamentally change the mood of the cell the r.c.s. signifies that it had a good season the economic situation in gaza has been very miserable for
