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 a 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. now the international monetary fund expects the for the pains to become the fastest growing economy and southeast asia many filipinos doubt they'll benefit millions of affordable huns in the to deviate extreme poverty i mean undergone reports from

a budget exam when there are these of course we fall short of the target to meet the housing backlog because the priorities and education have compete with the basic sectors. every year this lack of housing is made worse by thousands of families being displaced by typhoons and earthquakes and the decades long 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 programs projects are. all government agencies local government units we contribute to really iraq the public in the country. as most of the unemployed to have no proof of home ownership

the military. doing a great service for the country yet uninformed about the eighteen year long war on a killing not anyone's really thinking about it but honestly the gritty realism of the film is not in line with the more sanitized image of the military that most americans are used to seeing nor is it an image that the military wants to promote the marine corps has condemned the behavior on display telling al-jazeera it is not in line with their high standards while the marine corps and says that at least some of the footage is the property of the military but chose not to pursue legal action to halt its release after defenders of the u.s. constitution's first amendment got involved this is not just miles as own free speech rights but the rights of the public to get this unique perspective of what it was like to be a soldier on the ground in afghanistan. home right that perspective

to stop the spread of hate speech well those are the headlines on our to zero one zero one is coming up next. they are young vulnerable girls from rural villages desperately poor they sold a vision of money and adventure all they have to do is sign up to become maids in singapore but for many the reality is badaracco. one o one east investigates why girls who are too young to work continue to be trafficked to asia's most prosperous nation.

in may two thousand and seventeen a young domestic worker from miramar had a terrifying fall from the night floor of this block of flats in singapore. her employer whom we will call john can still remember that day. a bounce that touches ona lesson she told told us how low us some thoughts on to. sunlight a soul of what you call biscuit households not touch a book i sing. and book i sing about how to how to tell white just as i see i see our. own children. the girl who john knows s. ten ten was severely injured and is lucky to be alive. full was broken

by a covered walkway two stories down john says he was initially very angry about what she'd done but then he found out something shocking from the myanmar embassy tintin was just fifteen years old. what's and. you know it didn't. type in the two and clearly and it assumes that it sounds cool i see. no harm in this is what's in the soul so it's great doubts and doubts and so on when pete foss and. john and his wife hired tintin through a singapore an employment agency asset recruitment according to this information sheet prepared by the company she was twenty three years old. asset recruitment the client of repeated requests for comment. on them.

on the human juice all on food is good so i. see it's a red so i. will. but tintin's is not an isolated case thirty. in two thousand and sixteen in an exclusive investigation one of one east reveals that teenage girls were being trafficked from me and mocked to singapore for domestic work do you also think that . this was despite laws in myanmar banning all female citizens from seeking such jobs overseas following reports of abuse. as well less laws in singapore stipulating that all foreign domestic workers have to be at least twenty three years old now we're discovering that the illegal trafficking of vulnerable young girls continues.

underage. trapped in households and do not know how to seek help so that's also net effect. of such cases. some cases end in tragedy. just four weeks off the arriving here domestic worker white wine allegedly jumped out of the window of her employer's eighteenth floor flat. at a funeral we meet her oldest sister choctaw who also came to singapore as a domestic worker. of volunteer from a migrant workers ngo helps to translate. and. this is from. a new person. but we don't get to speak further as churchill is led away by officials from the myanmar embassy and the army on monday night.

any and sky and that you know it had a car led them and quietly. dog. at the waist high and. with so few opportunities it's no wonder girls from this village are still leaving for singapore. momo says despite what happened to her she doesn't try to stop them but out of the media who. called out what the mere thought of the man will they meet. him you know we need. the me as the woman to be a good hiding. and. the wily. tintin is one domestic worker who didn't need help. she's the fifteen year old who accidentally fell from her employers apartment
