6:24 am
a safe place for migrants and as that is he goes and therefore they will continue to attempt to cross thing i think what needs to happen is the grecian of a humanitarian agency for asylum. this by gaining us to stop clearly deploying regulations does not walk this issue of us and them needs to be dealt at the european level so that we don't have these relations issues apne on a boat with people stranded in appalling conditions to me the first thing to do is to create safer legal routes agro the media and so that people don't have to risk their lives on boards anymore and to to create a european can see for asylum so that the people can be relocated you know long term fashion. thousands of people have taken to the streets in the capital in a major protest against the populous president aleksander the church gathering in central belgrade follows months of anti-government demonstrations protest as a demanding more democracy and media freedom in the balkan country the

6:26 am
ireland just over that hill but look an is a worry of bricks it's without a trade deal is specially with new borders would put his entire business on the law and go on certainly there all the time because look i'm completely dependent on the meat from these cars. off the products made from miami talkie to forty percent of that ends up in the u.k. so cost of war it costs more. it isn't just milk nearly a third of all beef consumed in britain is irish even more cheese and butter talk about trade deals and borders can sound confusing here it's about what goes into people's mouths the cheese on this pizza was made here in the republic of ireland the cheese was then driven across the border into the u.k. where the pizza was manufactured and is then sold across both countries years of an open border have led to this complex web of food production and distribution to the
6:27 am
benefits of both republic of ireland and the u.k. and this one which farmers here believe would be entirely jeopardized by no deal breaks it through deals between islands in the u.k. are worth a full six billion dollars a year hardly surprising island is worried when break says it was for supporters of by the u.k. people to leave europe there was two requirements for. be there beef and dairy one was that we wouldn't have a bar but the second was that our straight to the ship would remain status quo and there is a grid to a greater degree of uncertainty about that today as there was twelve or eighteen months ago during the bricks and referendum concerns of irish farmers counted for zero but maybe they should have massive more no bricks it deal no food from ireland could make british people go hungry if a hard border went up there would be food shortages in the u.k. there would be a lack of beef products because they rely on irish beef the price of beef what
6:28 am
escalation so far that your average person in the u.k. simply will be able to afford if we can avoid that hopefully we will avoid those that point is entirely lost in the backseat debate in london where politicians seem entirely unconcerned about the impact on islands of the u.k. leaving the european union island hopes the prospects of empty supermarket shelves might focus some minds gloriously al-jazeera on the irish border. u.s. president donald trump is being criticized after he tweeted a video containing footage of nine eleven in an attack on muslim congresswoman. the video features edited sections of a speech made on civil rights for muslims in the u.s. some time later the speech was overlaid with footage of the nine eleven attacks which we have decided not to show well in the video tweeted is repeatedly saying that some people did something the actual quote from his speech goes as follows for far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being
6:29 am
a second class citizen and frankly i'm tired of it and every single muslim in this country should be tired of it was founded off the nine eleven because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us was starting to lose access to our civil liberties with more on this we can speak now to him in los angeles he's the executive director of the council on american islamic relations and joins us now how dangerous is it for the president of the united states to attack. over the nine eleven attacks which has such a unique place in the american consciousness. well first of all thank you for having me on the show it is extremely extremely dangerous and it's just put it this way it's very deliberate or irresponsible and filled president knows exactly what he's doing he's basically putting her life at risk his putting the lives of muslims
6:30 am
american muslims whom he's supposed to be their president to laws that i checked is not just the president of white supremacist and white nationalist yet he uses american muslims immigrants other minorities us pawn in building up and rolling up his base and it should be a shame this is lou really low even for someone like president donald trump are you satisfied with the way the democratic leadership has responded the democratic leader and speaker of the house nancy pelosi certainly criticize donald trump that didn't actually mention by name. no i unfortunate there has been a mixed response obviously we heard great responses from senator sanders lauren from congressman to conall congresswoman. and several others but we expect more from the speaker of the house she knows very well that this has nothing to do with the speech that was given by a little more which if anyone takes the few minutes to listen to or watch it would
6:31 am
know that actually she was not speaking about the terrorist attacks of nine eleven she was talking about how muslims had to live as a suspect community in the shadow of the horrific attack being treated or scapegoated for something they had nothing to do with something that was done by by complete criminals who are not from our country who have nothing to do with the muslim american community ironically this is exactly what president trump is doing and redoing again and this has nothing to do with the speech as we all know this is about silencing one of his most vocal critics in congress who happens to be a muslim woman an african woman a somali woman a refugee herself of course because he's not used to it he's not used to being challenged he's not used to be challenged by women by by women of color in specific and i honestly think you can see her and i processed all of this mr eilish because
6:32 am
ellen ellen omar has reportedly received death threats do you fear for her safety. absolutely i fear for safety because you know that speech was given during or annual banquet in the valley area near los angeles area for care three weeks ago we had to triple actually quite triple what we had intended to do for police for security calling l.a.p.d. the hotel security hiring a private security firm spending almost as much on the event as for security and it's worth every penny of course because we did receive bomb threat the threat she's receiving death threats on a daily basis this is not a jewel for the president this is not one of his boring ugly jokes this is serious that has to do with her safety the safety of every muslim the safety of my own children my own family enough is enough our president has to realize the danger of forces doing the rhetoric is engaging in is exactly what led to genocides holocaust
6:33 am
around the countries around the world and throughout history this is no joke about of this not a joking matter this and we can debate we can disagree and it's ok to disagree but we can do it with civility without dehumanizing each other or questioning each other's patriotism specially using something as emotionally charged as the horrific attacks of nine eleven the target of our country thank you for joining us on the news hour tonight executive director of cat hasan eilish thank you for having me the possibility of making reparations to the ancestors of enslaved people is being actively discussed in the united states has become an issue in the presidential race and now on college campuses that's a call has the story from washington melicent short cologne is not.
