greater degree of stability and i think that's really going to require as we were just speaking about. the difference between the distance rather between where the the military council seems to be and where the demonstrators are i think the other real risk and the thing that merits watching your show is the role that the regional split states are playing in this i think the worst case scenario for sudan would be for some of the rivalries within the middle east to be exported into the country at this very volatile and volatile and fragile moment ok. give us a lot to think about thank you for your insight we appreciate it. thank you for having your show judges in algeria have announced they will boycott supervising presidential elections expected to take place on july the fourth judge at the algerian magistrate's club says the refusal to oversee the vote was made to defend the country and says judges will not rig results weeks of protests force longtime

several politicians in the u.s. have criticized president donald trump after he tweeted a video containing footage of nine eleven designed to attack muslim congresswoman omar so the video features edited sections of a speech that she made on civil rights for muslims and us some time later the speech has been overly with the footage of the nine eleven attacks which we have decided not to show the video is being shared on social media to suggest the congresswoman was downplaying nine eleven and response son condemn trump's tweet and accused him of islamophobia phobia that is in the video trump tweeted repeatedly saying some people did something the actual quote former speech goes as follows hope for far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second class citizen and frankly i'm tired of it and every single muslim in this

country should be tired of it care was founded after nine eleven because they recognize that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties john hendren joins us now from washington d.c. john tell us more about about what the response has been to this so far. well michele the response from democrats has been strong and condemn natori they say that the president's remarks are both racist and dangerous here just a few tweets that have come out in the past few hours on that congresswoman alexandria cortez said members of congress have a duty to respond to the president's explicit attack today eldon omar's life is in danger president presidential candidate bernie sanders said omar is a leader with strength and courage she won't back down to trump's racism in hate and neither will we and another democratic presidential candidate senator elizabeth

warren says the president is inciting violence against a sitting congresswoman and an entire group of americans based on their religion it's disgusting it's shameful and any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it and for those who might think that this is overstatement we spoke to an official from care the organization that it was addressing in this speech that trump uses in that tweet and he says that she actually is in danger as are other muslims take a listen she is receiving death threats on a daily basis this is not a jewel for the president this is not one of his boring. this is serious this has to do with her safety the safety of every muslim the safety of my own children my own family enough is enough president has to realize the danger of forces doing so john just a moment ago we gave a fuller context of what she was saying tell us more about what she was really trying to get at in the spades. well rachelle as you described earlier there was

really a speech on civil rights she was talking about how muslims in america have been made to feel uncomfortable ever since those nine eleven attacks and to be associated with terrorism in the minds of other people and what she was saying is don't except that we don't need to live in fear or shame or try to hide so it was really a civil rights address on behalf of muslims but for president trump this was really a twofer on the one hand he gets to needle democrats on the other hand he gets to draw outrage from his strongest supporters and reinforce an anti immigrant message which is really a tactic he has often used he likes to use his twitter page to get people talking about whatever it is that he wants to talk about and when they're doing that they're not talking about the investigations into his administration were a criticism of him so for him this is continued to be effective he has not said

anything that suggests he is backing down after the criticism that has come bad come out in the past several hours we'll show ok it's on hundred live for us in washington d.c. john thank you let's bring in human rights lawyer customer cede and washington d.c. he is running for a seat and then virginia state senate i appreciate your time so much how would you characterize the way. congress some of them are has been treated in general. well it's very clear that her treatment is a reflection of the racism the massaging the the slow before that has kind of permuted throughout this entire administration unfortunately and i commend her for her courage for her grace and for her commitment to justice something lacking in too many elected officials today and it's really powerful and inspiring to see representative go home or look at this extremism and not back down and continue to

fight for justice and equality for all americans whether they are muslims christians jews believers or nonbelievers she continues to uphold justice and i think she should be commended for that so. you know donald we show we didn't quite show but we explain that what donald trump did is connected. try to connect the comments that comments of the congressman made to to nine eleven but some comments that donald trump has made about nine eleven going back years as he he claimed on the day that the towers came down that that certainly meant that he had the tallest tower in the area he falsely claimed that he saw people jumping from the windows but he was nowhere near that he claimed to have lost hundreds of friends or is no proof of that. it seems that his party has not been critical of those comments but they have been critical of the congresswoman why is that why do you think that is. well he also claimed muslims are celebrating nine eleven which was

a complete lie he also took one hundred fifty thousand dollars in nine eleven recovery funds when he lost nothing in i think this is an example of why there needs to be congressional accountability and it's a shame that there isn't because they're more focused on party than on principles look we live in a time in america right now where right wing white supremacy terrorism is that epidemic levels the a.d.l. reports that last year every american killed by extremists was a right winger a white supremacist extremist this week a white supremacist burned three historical black churches and he did so because he hated christians but rather than condemning that the president's lies about a black muslim woman the first black muslim woman in congress and the party is complicit because they refused to condemn it you know i'm reminded of the quote of dr martin luther king that in the end we will not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends so it's a shame that congress is abdicating its responsibility to hold the president

accountable to uphold justice and stop this bigotry and violence we really need say that the silence of friends i mean i guess it's at this point almost to be expected that republicans will will stand with trump what do you make of their response from some democrats. well i mean i commend the democrats across your court that i live who have been you know bernie sanders been explicitly clear that this is incitement to violence it's unacceptable they've had the courage and the compassion to name representative omar and stand in solidarity with her those democrats who are doing the both sides thing or refusing to acknowledge what point representative always making i think they need to do some deep soul searching and really reflect on whether they are true allies or not and you know i think the most frustrating thing for me throughout this entire aspect aside from the violent incitement against representative omar is that her point that she was making is

this extremely crucial point since nine eleven there has been a systemic scored of injustices met out against americans who happen to be muslim the n.y.p.d. spied on the american muslim community for six years without a warrant we have you know indefinite detention in guantanamo bay we have cia torturing muslims none of this seems to matter to those who claim to uphold the constitution and instead they take four words out of context to demonize representative omar you know one of the reasons why i'm running for office is to reinvigorate the elements of justice for all citizens out of which i think i'd let you live what faith you follow or don't they need to be justice and how we govern let me ask you about that as a candidate there have been death threats made against the congresswoman. do you ever fear for your safety when you're campaigning specifically because for a muslim. well if the question is am i getting death threats yes i am getting death

threats and my response is that these death threats from these violent individuals will not silence me i can sure tell you they won't silence representative omar because she's tough as nails but this is an opportunity where i believe americans can come together stronger rise above partisan politics and. because on the principles that made this country the strong country that it is we need to reject these violent addict those we need to reject these death threats and we need to recognize that our strength lies in our unity so whether somebody is a christian or a muslim or a jew or from the algae beauty community my message to you is that we are all equal human beings and we cannot under any circumstance tolerate violence or any kind of discrimination against one another we must uphold these constitutional principles of justice if we want to stay strong and if we want to be progressive for all members of our society. customers thank you very much as. they travel.

emmons parliament has not for the first time since hit the rubble since the capitol in two thousand and fifteen president operable months or hardy who leads the internationally recognized government flew in from saudi arabia to take part about this and reports. for the first time this is the war began president dr bouman soon heidi addresses a session of yemen's re it will be the by the bullets at the sons of yemen targeting state institutions and they blew up the homes of yemenis and their mosques leaving nothing in authentic yemeni culture customs and values targeting them with vandalism and destruction. parliament hasn't met since the fight for control of yemen began four years ago between who the rebels backed by iran and a coalition led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which supports the united nations recognized government of president hadi he's been living mainly in saudi arabia since being forced to leave yemen when the war began the priority for

this session is to fill parliamentary positions but that may not be easy the posts in this parliament were last occupied in two thousand and nine and its original six year term has long expired and only about half of the three hundred one parliamentary members have turned up for this meeting. in the asacol to favor peace over violence to transform into a political player exercising their rights and for filling their obligations in mind which a large constitution let's all embrace the options of peace according to the parliament's facebook page one hundred ninety two parliamentarians support his government forty five are under house arrest by the who feeds thirty three have died and thirty one have refused to take part. a big difference between this parliament being legal and constitutional and or having hope in this parliament so very few are expecting anything from this parliament but again we are hoping that

this parliament could at least help end this war i've no doubt. it won't see any prudes where the only people directly. but there who they say how these government doesn't have the support it claims they are now holding their own elections in areas they control to try to reduce the government's majority two days ago saudi state television reported that coalition forces attacked who three targets in the capital sana president hadi may have a difficult job convincing yemenis that this pond is a way to peace and rob matheson's al jazeera. still ahead on al-jazeera thousands march in serbia against the president the government says it's been staged. marie integrating rebels government aplenty part of a peace plan i'll tell you who won't be competing in formula one chinese pram on sunday the details ahead.
