5:06 pm
military on its terror list and has more from washington. it would be unprecedented this would be the u.s. basically saying i'm a part of a another country's military is part of a terrorist organization so what does that mean that allows the u.s. to designate them and that restricts their travel it makes it a crime to provide material support to the revolutionary guard and it would potentially freeze any assets that they have the united states although it seems highly unlikely that iran's revolutionary guard has any assets inside the united states so there's concern here according to the wall street journal there's might pump a low secretary of state john bolton the national security adviser's long time hawks on iran that they're pushing the president to do this the other side you have the cia and the u.s. military warning that it's unlikely that this will do the amount of damage to the iranian economy that they would like to see and at the same time saying that this could put u.s. troops at risk in so much so that central command might issue
5:07 pm
a warning to u.s. troops to be on the lookout for any potential reaction so these are two sides that are squaring off trying to move the debate to the public sphere whether or not they do this we don't know and it is potentially going to have a lot of blowback the other countries it forget example those who are in the nuclear agreement they're already trying to come up with a workaround for the u.s. pulling out of the nuclear deal this could provide even more incentive for people and those companies to try and find a way to work around the u.s. financial system. thousands of protesters have called on the president of mali to resign saying he has failed to curb rising ethnic violence the protesters are angry over the killing last month of one hundred fifty seven villages from the ethnic for non-equal by a group armed with guns and machetes priyanka govt every force. i with the killing of villages now directed at president abraham. protesters gathered in the

sunday marks twenty five years since the rwandan genocide when at least eight hundred thousand people were killed in one hundred days the french president has appointed a panel of experts to investigate his country's actions at the time cause also met a survivors' group in paris relations between france and wanda have been strained since the one nine hundred ninety four killings al-jazeera as andrew symonds travelled to. some of the worst atrocities took place a warning some of you might find the images in his report distressing. as rwanda prepares to commemorate twenty five years since the start of its genocide the same images of horror dominate tears a low carb dissolve the sorrow and questions remain who shot down the aircraft
5:11 pm
killing rwanda's president from the hutu majority an act that started one hundred days of killing on a scale rarely seen in modern history around three quarters of the minority tutsi population were murdered. questions of why the international community didn't immediately respond still exist how many lives could have been saved or why didn't the united nations at least take early action against a highly organized campaign of hatred and incitement by the hutus. for alice. underground in one of the mass graves there's only one answer and that's to forgive despite her extraordinary loss she shows some of the seemingly endless lines of coffins containing the dried out bones of whole families in this casket are the remains of her mother father two sisters and three brothers i knew i vividly
5:12 pm
remember the death of my parents and my siblings i hear their voices in my heart i'm sad but i forgive their killer in a separate attack alice was hacked all over her body one of her hands was amputated with a machete she nearly died yet she forgives the man who did this as well. above her you see the tops of these modern day two they contain the remains of more than forty five thousand people killed in this district alone a family died in the church just here this is one of so many churches where people tried in vain to seek sanctuary but moment when files and people died here mostly women and children their clothes now spread out over the pews above shrapnel rained down upon this place and below him now you see coffins filled with the remains bones of victims twenty five years on what happened here still
5:13 pm
defies understanding. as alice continues with her visits here the man who attacked her is now free living with his family he served eight years in jail and completed community service aside from killing in a group he's murdered twenty one people in cold blood would you say you feel lucky that you didn't get a life sentence or you did even you for serving a life sentence to be ok because it will be punishment for my crimes being alive is not lucky i kneel in front of those i have had and beg forgiveness this form of reconciliation is one of many initiatives aimed at trying to ensure peace can be permanent but not everyone is as forgiving as alice andrew simmons al-jazeera in nearby rwanda e.u. leaders say the british prime minister is yet to convince them they should give her another break said extension theresa may has asked for another three months which
5:14 pm
would mean departing at the end of june any delay must be agreed by leaders at a summit in brussels next week emma hayward has more. with just a week to go until britain's already delayed departure date from the e.u. the u.k.'s prime minister unable to get a deal through parliament wants to delay breakfast yet again writing to the e.u. calling for an extension until the end of june none of our economy is growing fast enough to guarantee that an ideal scenario wouldn't push us into recession so it's a bad outcome all round and i think the french understand that i think germs understand that and you know what we are looking for is to avoid a long extension the e.u. itself wants to avoid the u.k. crashing out with no detail it also doesn't want a series of short delays so the idea of a longer extension possibly a year is being talked about in brussels but that would have to be approved by all
5:15 pm
the e.u. leaders at an emergency summit next week so the question will be has the prime minister got sufficient detail in sufficient. can you give your opinion is sufficient assurances that june thirtieth is a sensible day and has a plan of how to get there and will the e.u. think actually would be into play for domestic issues that the european parliament elections is that a sensible date for them and that will be the big question over the next week or so . and an extension could see britain having to field candidates but the parliamentary elections in may which will be unpalatable to many of those who voted to leave. to reason may is still trying to win support from both sides of the political divide she still coming under attack from some within her own party and talks with the opposition are challenging and we all want to break this deadlock we want the talks to continue. but compromise does require change writing on twitter
5:16 pm
the archie or skeptic conservative m.p. jacob reese more groat if a long extension leaves the stock in the e.u. we should be as difficult as possible we could veto any increase in the budget obstruct the putative e.u. army and block missed him across and integration his schemes in her letter to donald tusk to reason may makes it clear that the current political impasse simply can't go on the public's faith in politics is being damaged and she acknowledges the e.u. is desire to move on from brics it britain could soon find itself out of the e.u. decision making process there's still no clear path as to when that will actually happen and he would alter sarah westminster now a generation ago thousands of royal stands volm the kashmir valley but they're now close to extension fewer than two hundred left in the wilds after decades of conflicts poaching and poor management has
5:17 pm
a story. it's never been harder to spot one of these animals in the kashmir valley government census takers accounting how many royal stock also known as hangal are left here there were just two hundred seventeen after the last tally three years ago. the years y.-o. hong population has declined one of the reasons one of the main reason has been the grazing pressure nor mads from the different parts of the present parts of the very big government occupy the mean agree is in lands where out of hand we're used to. very old hunger used to get the world to the fans conflict has also played a played a role in the decline in the population of the hong was. the stock graze on land used by the military in india not ministered kashmir barbed wire and decades of patrolling soldiers have disrupted the stags breeding pattern. the nomads say they too have been affected by conflict and have been forced to give up grazing land
5:18 pm
it's. needed or not for the damo started here in ninety nine days the indian security agencies closed our traditional route and pastures so they're not holders have to look for are denied to the census team take samples of stock droppings these will be tested for viruses and parasites and help estimate how many stocks are left. seventy years ago three to four thousand stag roamed here. probably to a degree addition is taking place here with i would have fragmentation is taking place but human population who would have additional his mood very much closer to the white areas and bad definitely is one of the factors the handle is the only surviving relative of the european red deer on the indian subcontinent the government has provided funding for a breeding center that should be operational by the end of the year but it will take intensive efforts to bring the royal stag off the list of critically endangered species bernard smith al-jazeera.
5:19 pm
again i'm fully back to bore with the headlines on the head of the united nations has told libyan warlords highly for have time to stop his advance on tripoli have to us forces say they have reached the southern outskirts of the capital and a push against the internationally recognized government. i still hope it will be possible to avoid a bloody awful station in and that all tripoli. and united nations remain. available to facilitate any political solution able to unify the libyan institutions. and whatever happens. the u.n. will remain could meet and i will remain committed to support the libyan people
5:20 pm
libyans these are these security prosperity and the respect of their human rights in algeria hundreds of thousands of people have rallied in the capital for the first time since the resignation of president abdoulaye things which if they want his allies to go as well the country's intelligence chief a close ally of the former president was reportedly fired on friday. cholera is making another comeback in yemen the number of suspected cases a double since last month the u.n. is warning the latest outbreak could be as bad as the one in two thousand and seventeen when more than three thousand people died thousands of protesters in mali have condemned the government saying it's not doing enough to stop ethnic violence they marched in the capital bamako demanding the resignation of president. the demonstration is one of the biggest in years and follows the killing of one hundred sixty fernand villagers fighters from the rival doggoned community are suspected of carrying out last month's time you're upset with the headlines on al-jazeera the
5:21 pm
listening post starts now. thousands of people have been killed raped or mutilated in south sudan's civil a un report says government forces and other militia are financing the conflict with money from the country's oil industry you would never allow that rape in south sudan and we will never totally this south sudan's oil minister talks to want to zero. eight or seven hundred forty five why are we telling me roger we're talking only ten am i correct and i'm going to keep going on angela and alex. i've got the power to march. hello i'm barbara sarah and you're watching a special edition of the listening post rising migration and the political responses to it have been defining features of the past decade stories of refugees
5:22 pm
tightening border controls political battles over immigration policy have all been in the headlines with conflicts ongoing around the world the impact of climate change the printing and the fallout from the global financial crisis still lingering the pressures driving people to move are only becoming greater in this episode we are shining a spotlight on the role that journalism has played in shaping what the public and policymakers know about migration we will be interviewing the filmmaker matthew a cell who was reported on migrant flows around the world will be looking at a genre of reality t.v. film that borders and checkpoints but we're starting the show with a report from the united states before president from took office only the best informed media junkies might have known that ice stands for the immigration and customs enforcement agency but the trump administration's hard line immigration policies have changed all that multiplying the number of ice arrests in homes and workplaces however the role the media play in this particular story goes well
5:23 pm
beyond just covering it over the past year n.g.o.s and legal are. see organizations have worked with some media outlets to track cases of enforcement abuse and they train communities to use their own media tools to document wrongdoing the listening posts flow phillips now from texas well some of the media practices and stories that have come out of those collaboration. as ice raids seemingly indiscriminate often undercover operations to root out the legal immigrants and they happen across the u.s. day in day out. like the case of. a mother taken in front of her screaming children on a southern california street in march twenty eighth. or juan hernandez
5:24 pm
a mechanic in los angeles arrested at work in september twenty seven team even though agents had no probable cause or warrant. gonzales a father of four apprehended in february twenty seventh teen while dropping his daughter at school. just three examples of thousands we know about these three because they were cool on camera eyewitness footage has been so crucial and exposing isis manipulative tactics romulan delicate and dollars was arrested by two ice agents who were an unmarked vehicles wearing jackets that only said police but there's a reason why they don't identify themselves they're trying to use manipulative tactics to get information from immigrants or people who they've racially profiled in order to arrest and deport them this happened in february of two thousand and seventeen and it was really the first high profile case that really showed what the human price of ice is new enforcement what looked like. u.s.
5:25 pm
immigration and customs enforcement ice is not a new body. it's current incarnation the largest investigative arm of the department of homeland security was part of a restructuring effort in the wake of nine eleven and it's not as though the obama administration didn't deport undocumented workers as many as twenty thousand a month by twenty sixteen but donald trump has gone further during his first week in office the president signed an executive order that rewrote the rules on who i should prioritize in its operations making virtually every undocumented immigrant in the country all ten point seven million fair game for arrest and deportation whether they had a criminal record or not the former director of ice mr holm publicly stated that the days of lack of interest progression laws are over they should all be scared if you're in this country legally new committed a crime but enter this country you should be uncountable you should look over your
5:26 pm
shoulder in you need to be worried then ice did something which last administrations had not done they actually this and every single prosecutor's question dating back to that hundred seventy three and apprehending and deporting anyone who comes to the attention became the newborn's what that's translated to on the street is folks to have to anticipate the possibility of being arrested and deported now do. they actually increase interest a lot of stories about the way immigration enforcement of false arrests cross country families separated deportations. stories about how i see racially profiled people on the street picks up immigrants a routine court check ins uses contentious surveillance tactics and makes mass arrests some of the journalism does more extensive collaboration's between news
5:27 pm
organizations and advocacy groups groups that have done research and can show people a thing or two we covered. a project that was put together by the immigrant defense project the center for constitutional rights here in new york city tracked immigration raids and showed a marked increase in operations targeting people with no criminal record so what we've seen under the truck administration huge increase in arrests all of these different colors correspond to different types of inforce an activity that was served. like a physical arrest or surveillance or use of force we have one hundred twenty eight cases observed here forty year ice watch kind of projects served for additional kind ability journalism the marshal project new york magazine collaboration was really interesting because it kind of was a mix of the two it was grounded in there are ports of individual immigration enforcement actions and deportations and in new york in particular that's
5:28 pm
fascinating because seeing the mapping up here is what has actually happened is useful to immigrant new yorkers who can actually turn ambient buzz of rumors about what might be happening into a sense of what has actually happened and to navigate their own lives accordingly. abolish ice is the collective name given to a growing movement protesting ice's new mandate and that of its pawn agency customs and border protection or c.b.p. . the movement was energized by the release of a new audio recording back in june twenty eighth with the sounds of children crying out for that parent. before and that is continue to have a sense with the president's constant references to the quote threat of the migrant caravan to criminals to stop was the trespassers marching forward up i want to turn back now because you're not getting it they are events that have gotten i'm not
5:29 pm
attraction in the mainstream she started filming and advocacy groups. not just the media have suggestions on how to tell the story. and fit into a series of what organized by what they mcallen texas it's a city why only us mexican border given the spiting immigration enforcement in this particular valley the group says it's essential to the people here with tools and techniques needed to film events as they happen. this program is a crash course in how video can help immigrant communities expose injustices advocate for asylum seekers and defend against deportation it teaches people not just how to don't kill and ice and border patrol abuses but how to do it safely and ethically our trainings focus on digital security issues so how to secure the content on your phone how to secure your communications your computer your social
5:30 pm
media we also focus on filming tactics what should you film what should she film bangle that it's off the mark on the boat. in the snow now we're also seeing maze it going up with them oh nothing must be on the map at all see there had been the lousy up but up with it got bad. and then a really crucial component of our work is helping people think their strategies around what to do after you film how you save it how you can impact whether or not it can be used as evidence in a court case or a legal proceeding for a record something i would just posted online by like now we know that there's bits of procedures that i should take before posting that. workshops like this one having a real impact on local communities but the power of citizen video is going well beyond having video footage having kind of a first person document is often the difference between something being
5:31 pm
a local story if not a national story we've seen in several cases things that were initially poor. it is facebook but it is becoming things that you know national outlets have said in their needs or gee this is getting a lot of play on social media maybe you should write it up a video showing an illegal immigrant and i write this crap stream to try to reassure us which i got a lot of attacks on the new technology has become extremely important in your legal professionals for ice. and also those immigrants is a law breaker. for the advocates of that unauthorized person he or she is not just a law breaker which is true but here she is also a parent here she is also a contributing member of the community here she is also someone who has roots. they want to portray that aspect of the purse and these tools have become very
5:32 pm
important in making that happen. remember one hundred one days the mechanic in a arrested at work the entire incident was captured on the shop surveillance cameras footage that was used by his defense in court. and that video taken by romney gonzales's daughter on his cell phone footage went viral helping him out of immigrant detention six months later breaking the ice one video at a time. around the world migrants and refugees are on the move and to a large extent journalists and aid agencies are the main sometimes only sources of information on these migrant flows africa so it is a journalist and filmmaker who's been on the speak for more than a decade he's tracked refugees escaping from wars the treatment of migrants at borders across europe and the lives of those left behind when loved ones leave well massacres so joins us now from chicago matthew i thank you for joining us here on
5:33 pm
the listening post and welcome you've spent years focusing on the issue of migrant flows spend a lot of time working in europe tell us a little bit about the coverage that you've seen and also how you think it's affected both policymakers and the european public as you said i've spent years covering this issue and i remember during the peak of the global refugee crisis in september two thousand and fifteen i remember one day where b.b.c. b.b.c. journalist was at munich train station in germany where train by train refugees were getting off and it was a big. story every global news agency was out there and news channel was out there covering it and i remember the b.b.c. journalist was trying to find people to speak with you. but you couldn't find anyone who spoke english and i don't mean to single out the b.b.c. or that journalist in particular but with the coverage of that time there were no there were very few journalists who actually spoke arabic who spoke dari whose.
