attended a weapons test. described as a tactical weapon it's far less provocative than the ballistic missiles north korea tested more than a year ago but seems intended to show its frustration at the failure to win sanctions relief at the hanoi summit there could have been some deal in hanoi and the united states by going going big as they put it made sure there wasn't any deal and in kim jong un would like president trump to think again about getting some kind of a deal that would be in both countries benefit last week donald trump said he was open to a third summit but kim replied he'd be interested only if the u.s. lifts some of its sanctions by years and the fear is if the talks fail the north could return to the ballistic missile and nuclear testing of the past we still seem to be a long way from that but here in the south diplomatic efforts are underway to make

sure it doesn't happen. south korean president is working towards another summit with kim his defense ministry spokesperson seem to play down use of the weapons test so as not to derail that effort. and it's now being confirmed kim is to hold his first summit with russian president vladimir putin in russia can provide some diplomatic assistance but russia is not going to subsidize moscow on a large scale russia is not going to violate sanctions in sam the key to sanctions relief remains the u.s. and this week show of strength seems aimed in its direction robin bride al-jazeera soul. french investigators think an electrical short circuit may have caused the fire which ripped through notre dame cathedral in paris emergency workers are being

investigation into his campaign's links with russia. attorney general william barr is facing criticism for his handling of the report he received a copy of it last month and made his own conclusion that trump had not obstructed justice the report recounts ten episodes involving the president and discusses potential legal theories for connecting those activities to the elements of an obstruction offense after carefully reviewing the facts and legal theories outlined in the report and in consultation with the office of legal counsel and other department lawyers the deputy attorney general and i concluded that the evidence developed by the special counsel is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. huge crowds have gathered outside sudan's military headquarters in khartoum one week since the overthrow of president bashir protesters continue to demand for the regime change and the immediate return

finance. ok today a check in and three stories that we're following right here on the stream a pool is the best of a young adult child and american woman whose family say she's been detained by the government since she was fifteen find out what impact campaigning is having also take a look at a political crisis you probably haven't heard about and why young democracy in mongolia may be a roadway i really could be a lot i'll be looking for your comments on twitter and of course in our live you

tube chat there be lots of talk about today's so we want to hear from you we'll start with a topic that already has our community talking muslim american politician omar have recent comments by u.s. president donald trump put her life in danger stated. i just wanted to see how little congressman omar's presence in the u.s. congress to this hugely important and influential especially for most americans like me who were looking for me she's. gone totally against trump's accusation of her being anti-semitic or you take a miracle and especially through her actions in congress i mean she's supportive of the nine eleven victims attack planned and that it will prove that she is not only a muslim but also an american and she shouldn't be defined by your religion in this country. since she took office u.s.

congresswoman oman has faced a barrage of criticism from president donald trump is supporters and the right wing media now many are asking how things attacks put her in danger last week tweeted a video of well it was taken out of context to imply she was trivializing the september twenty seventh attacks on the world trade center in new york and the pentagon in washington d.c. he followed that with another tweet calling a law out of control and i think that she had made anti-semitic and u.s. comments the white house press secretary has defended the president and trump said he didn't regret his comments so what is the impact of these comments and joining us to talk about this from vancouver canada dalia mogahed head is the director of research at the institute for social policy and understanding and from new york journalist niddah khan welcome both of you to the stream i want to start with our community because people have so much to say about this topic in particular so this is a tweet from tar who says that it is unfair and outrageous for the u.s.

president to marginalize representative omar and to tweet a video that combined repetition of a quote from her speech with the footage of devastation that occurred on line eleven it could make her vulnerable before we get too deep into the workings behind the. why do you think that representative omar's a target to begin with. well thank you for having me i think that she is a target to begin with because of her unapologetic stands as a progressive as a woman of color and as a visible muslim she is not afraid to speak her mind she is not afraid to challenge people she is not afraid to make people uncomfortable in the best possible way and so from the perspective of those attacking her she doesn't know her place she's acting like an equal instead of what they think she should do which is to act like

a grateful guest. nido there was so much excitement when this new intake of congressmen came in to washington d.c. could you anticipate the kind of backlash that. has been getting did you while away the celebrating wow that's diversity coming to congress a while i was definitely celebrating along with many other american muslims and muslims around the world and i would say a lot of young progressives as well because this was a huge feed in and of itself to see people like. and alexander equality of cortez and also on a presley who all four of these women who are women of color we should also point out have been the targets of intense scrutiny and intense attacks both from the right wing and even from the left from the democratic side as well because they are representing that progressive agenda they are pushing for things like climate

change like an end to so many wars going on a livable wage you name it like a lot of social issues that go against the grain and actually challenge the status quo so because of that you're seeing people who are so uncomfortable by them and have just made it their duty to just continuously vilified dehumanize and attack them in any way possible and what they've done to is just absolutely barbara hence a bow and disgusting and i think many good people from around the country and around the world have just been disgusted by what's happened to her and it's very dangerous because she didn't set herself that ever since president trump pin that tweet to his twitter page the death threats against her increased exponentially what so you mentioned the challenging the status quo we got a tweet from someone in europe and they agree completely with you richard says no more fulfills five criteria for trump hate one is that she's a woman she's a muslim she has dark skin she's smart she rocks the boat and she like see the other representative from new york are serious threats to the status quo but this

next week here is one that we hope you can. focus on because word does says that these comments have led to rising islamophobia hate crimes death threats not only against representative omar and american muslims in general but many u.s. politicians haven't done enough to defend her and then they are part of the problem what has the impact been has it been something that's tangible can you've seen what the impact of it will impact on her life is very tangible i mean let's not forget that a man who was actually arrested for attempting to kill her i mean there her death threats that she is facing are very real and then for the president to tweet something so outrageous so incite full of violence so irresponsible lesson twenty four hours after the surete sed it it is it's almost unbelievable so the impact on ill hand is very tangible but i think it goes even

wider than that it's an impact on muslim americans overall because these attacks and these. these accusations against a hand don't come from nowhere they're not they're not coming from you know they're not random they are invoking anti muslim tropes cuellar and deep rooted anti muslim tropes around the idea that muslims are inherently anti american or anti semitic which are simply not true they are. false troops built on misinformation impure occleve false and the fact that there are so there's such a. large group of people in the united states that believe them in some way make it so much easier for these attacks to take root and and provoke vulnerable people into possibly even violence but it's

a wider than just the fringe that will take a while and say it's also about bullying kids in school it's it's about. micro aggressions it's about discrimination in the workplace and i just want to make sure to emphasize that the attacks on no one or more are based in anti muslim stereotypes that can be impure a cli shown to be false. i want to show you. something here for represent to to fill her own mom and she's reacting to the tweet that the president put out that we were talking about just a little while ago she says we are all americans assessing danger in lives it has to stop and then here this is really important since a presence tweet i've experienced an increase in direct threats on my life many directly referencing the replying to the president's video so bearing that in mind

the president knows this that minister knows this and then present trump was asked about the backlash and also about the potential danger in maybe putting the congresswoman in and this was his response. termino maher sent out a release last night saying that your tweet from a couple of days ago has led to direct threats on her life any second thoughts about that tweet and the way it was produced and put together no not at all look she's been very disrespectful to this country she's been very disrespectful frankly to israel she is somebody that. doesn't really understand i think life realized what it's all of it's unfortunate she's got a a way about her that's very very bad i think for a country i think she's extremely unpatriotic and extremely disrespectful to our country. a festival of health that of us is the calander of all the

cultural he knows apple death threats about a comment the whole house lol. why. well i like i said earlier says i'm slowly disgusting but not surprising because remember this is the same man who stood on a national stage and call for the children quote unquote total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the country and it's important to remember that all of this stuff like dolly was saying does not exist in a vacuum and there is a long history of the right wing joining up this stuff we've seen them do it time and again and especially during election time i've talked about this a lot that during two thousand and ten during the midterm elections they used the whole ground zero mosque fiasco to rile up their base to people to get people out to the polls and participate in the election and sadly it worked for them then it worked in two thousand and sixteen and we're going to see it again in two thousand and twenty and it's important also to remember that these aren't just words and rhetoric they're actual policies that get implemented behind this so for instance

with the muslim ban and i want to say that it was wonderful and beautiful to see so many people standing in solidarity with the muslim community when that ban was first proposed the first iteration but what happened is is that people tend to be oftentimes emotional and episodic and when that initial outrage dies down that's when the real danger and damage takes place and you saw that with what was the third iteration of the ban which was then upheld by the highest court in the land by the supreme court and it effectively banned millions of muslims from entering the country and i asked the question where is the outrage so you see this infringement of people's rights and infringement of who is allowed into the country a rise in hate crimes and a very dangerous situation all around and you're just going to see more and more of that as the two thousand and twenty election comes up and it's a very unfortunate where we are and that i wanted to end this segment at the end with a comment that we got from a reporter this is from slate columnist who has written extensively on that you can see this on my laptop here is there was

a man this fly in and he explains why people are so angry have a listen. yes so for me i think one of the reasons why i get so defensive when it comes to the a types against that had almost because i recognize them i think any muslim in america will recognize the way that she's been treated and held to a double standard and having her american this questioned just by default because she identifies as muslim in public so i think one of the reasons why i take it so personally and why others are taking it so personally is because week we've been through it we know what it's like. we've survived. need a daddy i see you nodding thank you so much for joining us we know we will have you back on the stream as we get ever closer to elections in the u.s. in twenty twenty and now we move to mongolia where political crisis is cause a many in the country to slowly lose faith in their government. and then some low national security council to act on full discretion when it comes

to the removal of the judges. that can be a measure of threat to independence of the judiciary. as the judges can be removed for some decisions that are not favored by the national security council which is a highly political institution overall we are experiencing a political momentum where top political leadership is appalled in the end justifies the means approach in their political decisions that we cannot accept by any means. demonstrations began in november against the former parliamentary speaker for his alleged involvement in corruption he was eventually voted out of his job in january after more than half of mongolia's m.p.'s boycotted parliamentary sessions and stalled legislative action and in a vote in late march the parliament gave the president free rein to bend the chords in his favor to break things down for us from the capital silly city alone batar on untoward to go as a journalist journalist at the mongolian national broadcaster and contributing reporter to the a.f.p. news agency welcome to the stream on and i want to start with this tweet we got

from julian he is a sociologist who was recently in one. mongolia in a state of political turmoil and has been for months with a series of scandals many one goalie and some selves don't necessarily see this as a crisis but frustration with elements of political systems especially parties are very high talk to us about the fallout from this corruption scandal what does it mean for the people. sure basically what this means is that. that when the when the when when this law came to be it bases show that how happy that the people that does not trust the government and also how the president title general public sentiment to show that there was torture and those corruption in the legal system and that and he used that rhetoric

to justify his actions to justify his notion for this law to take out the judiciary and also basically giving more power to the national security council so that sort of the parliament has no power over the judiciary any longer basically i had a key figure in the story is of course the president of mongolia he looks like a fascinating character i'm just looking here to buy boom but he is a self-made billionaire martial arts champion and and the stories go on and what can you tell us about him because it's actually his cowardice personality that is driving what is happening in mongolia right now even believe a form of recitative. well like you said he is a self-made millionaire and but there's a lot of questions on how he made those money how he made his fortune this there's

some talks about how he used records and measures and also used insider knowledge to gain the upper hand on the one. had its first how aggressively basically had stocks of old companies he bought some of those stocks and and and and basically become the owner of those companies and in this matter the regarding what happened in the legal status of the judges it's not just the president of the us also two other people the speaker of parliament and also the prime minister who hope holds the power to basically dismiss or recuse judges and also basically dismiss the general prosecutor and also that commission of independent thought against corruption. so even the prime minister as well and in both the president and the prime minister have reportedly tried to set themselves

apart from this corruption i want to play video comment we got from david snaith is a director of the mongolian inner asian studies unit at the university of cambridge and he talks about what could happen have a listen. there is widespread public frustration with politics at the moment ten politicians in general and the endless series of corruption scandals have convince a lot of mongolians that parliament is a kind of self-serving clique. both the leading politicians of the moment the president battling a prime minister huddleston have tried to distance themselves from that represent themselves as outsiders and i think there is a growing appetite for some alternative perhaps something more authoritarian both of those leading politicians have presented themselves almost as putin esque thinkers a sort of strongman so i think it's possible they'll be a change in the future so what do you think we might see in the future. or.

the biggest fear in right now is that if if. if if the president and the prime minister can solve this more power and during the next elections so action. people will not maybe there will be some kind of corruption scandal or some kind of illegitimate illegitimate voting that those people might cause father more power and maybe dismiss the democratic process basically and dissolve i don't like the parliament and harbor more power to themselves with this ok thank you allan for joining us on the stroll and telling us about one goal yeah now follow go out to the time and of a young child and a woman. have been. i would like to wish c.m. allie up to a very happy birthday she is an air tran american citizen who was imprisoned without trial when she was just fifteen years old and april third she turned twenty

two years i'm calling on the eritrean government to release her and everyone to put their support behind us campaign so that she is released as soon as possible up the bar of. her you know are there. oh the. happy birthday i have to give you today as always for ever in solidarity how do. you can't beat simulating some joy there but also some sadness as well here to tell us more about c.m. from london we have an essay so high you can ever try and d.s.p. asper a free speech activist and also the founder of one day c m that's an organization that is campaigning for the release of uncle sam. and they say it's good to have

you here to tell us more about this story such a tragic story and a mystery at the same time i'm looking at a picture here my laptop of a little girl tell us what we know about this little girl what happened to. her name with the how on the out do she was fifteen years old she was trying to leave. a policy where you have to apply for accidents at the country anyone who has the same age as was. i mean even now she is twenty two and she wanted to leave to have to ask for this visa and get one because you have to stay in the country try to leave was present at the border and she hasn't been seen or heard from we don't know anything about her situation or conditions or whereabouts we have this week from age of aquarius who says see how could be any of us she was robbed of her youth at fifteen and has not been heard from since she deserves a chance at life without being oppressed by the by

a totalitarian regime just as all eritreans do we have to amplify their voices any chance we can get so of course we're seeing lots of tweets from the diaspora here but what has eritrean government actually said about her detention. nothing there to a government has detained several people in eritrea i mean there's up to thousands of thousands of people have been in prison without a trial and combined for all these people there to government absolutely nothing so we'll know in one. case we draw usually link between her family and the reason she was detained of the reason she's missing because there is a connection that one could make an educated guess as to why she was taken i mean they imprison people at the border all the time and we kind of try to emphasize the fact that the home is one person seems unique because she happens to be an american and an heir to sort of sort of which means that the u.s. government should be fighting for her but she's also unique in the sense that her father was a part of the government and defected so there's obviously

a theory that she's being held as ransom by the government now but regardless there are young people age younger than her that are being held attained in eritrea so it's not kind of an idea of just one person who happens to be in prison because the government decided to do this one time it's a part of systematic issue in eritrea. you know has affected almost every family and many of the troops do mention her father this from hannibal says that the matter of the fact is the government has detained her to silence her father from speaking out against his former boss she is leverage the government has held hostage to silence her father who we know is not in the country who is in and then exile and on that note there is a video comment we got from someone who says that this is really just part of a broader pattern this is felix he's a senior researcher for eritrea the human rights watch and he spoke to us from ottawa. it seems i'm going to tension sadly is indicative of a broad pattern of arbitrary detention across eritrea routinely individuals that

oppose the government where his family members it was a government or who tried to it's gone from military service are detained often in really horrible conditions torture is widespread you know detention centers in eritrea and there's very little recourse in the courts because people are very rarely charged then he was in hopes that peace with ethiopia would change the situation for people exceed but unfortunately there has been very little indication that the human rights situation is about to uproot. seven s. as you mentioned see how it's not the only one he said it's a broader pattern your uncle is someone who you've also been campaigning for can you tell us about him. so he mentioned the peace with get it i think that's a good starting point became independent einhorn and then into ninety eight to two thousand it was a war with you that the government used as an excuse to silence you know dissident voices and just any kind of progressives in the country my uncle's a journalist as a journalist i wasn't present as a part of that about up there was other doubtless other politicians and they've all

been imprisoned since to us no one they shut down the free press they haven't opened the parliament and they were actually not any kind of democratic platforms or anything in the country right now so he's absolutely right this is a part of a wider pattern. of totalitarian policies that is affecting everything libertarian living in the country. we've seen this in recent days from a congresswoman here in the u.s. because as you mentioned she is also a u.s. citizen this is congress woman bass representative karen bass she writes i was in eritrea just last month the country's leader should release the ham who had a birthday this past week and all of eritreans political prisoners to send a message that the country is embarking on a new path that includes respect for human rights so unfortunately that is all the time we have for now but of course we will be keeping an eye on this story our thanks to ben nasa and a reminder to our community as always if you have a story you'd like to see on the stream you can picture us at a.j.

led. on al-jazeera. we know the culture we know the problems that affect this part of the world very very well and that is something that we're trying to take to the rest of the world we have gone to places and reported on a story that it might take an international network for months to be able to do it united nations peacekeepers out there really anti-riot the world. we are challenging the forces were challenging companies who are going to places where nobody else is going. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of other lives. other stories. provided glimpse into someone else's without.

inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers i'm at the front lines i feel like i know it i have the data to prove the. witness on al-jazeera. i know i'm not in town or not on the top stories on ars is there a u.s. president donald trump tried multiple times to impede an investigation into his campaign's links with russia that's according to special counsel miller's report which was released just a few hours ago the four hundred forty eight page document clears trump of collusion with the russians but raises questions about whether he attempted to obstruct justice when a says it's up to congress to address if trump violated the law or to the general

william bar is facing criticism for his handling of the report by received a copy of the report last month and made his own conclusion that trump had not obstructed justice. the report recounts ten episodes involving the president and discusses potential legal theories for connecting those activities to the elements of an obstruction offense after carefully reviewing the facts and legal theories outlined in the report and in consultation with the office of legal counsel and other department lawyers the deputy attorney general and i concluded that the evidence developed by the special counsel is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense trump himself says such an investigation should never happen to any president ever again and that his campaign now wants to turn the attention on to the investigators and pressure has will or

republicans keep saying look it's time to move on with the twenty two months of this you've got the report says north struction no collusion on the trump campaign for reelection in twenty twenty they put out a notice saying that they're delighted by the result but it's no time to investigate the investigators to investigate those who really started this investigation who told lies they say to others that instigated what was investigation so is this the end of the miller report no this is just the beginning of the end there's a long way still to go buckle up the democrats accuse the general of protecting trump and they want to to testify before the house judiciary committee even it is incomplete for him however the most report outlines disturbing evidence that president krug engaged in obstruction of justice and other misconduct contrary to the attorney general's statement this morning that the white house quote fully cooperated unquote with the investigation report makes clear that the president

refused to be interviewed by the special counsel and refused to provide written answers to follow up questions. there is why i have formally requested that special counsel moeller there's the five before the house judiciary committee as soon as possible president jordan has more on the democrats' reaction one of the big questions which congressman jerry nadler just alluded to is the fact that robert muller had the legal authority to compel the president to sit for an interview that just ask you but actually said to a subpoena and force him to was that mid to late interview and he chose not to do it essentially to keep from prolonging the investigation anymore that it already was and so that's already raising a lot of eyebrows in official washington because how thorough candid best to gay should be if you don't actually interview one of the key players of not the most important player in this huge crowds have gathered outside sudan's military

headquarters in khartoum that demanding the immediate return of civilian rule following the president omar bashir a special representative of russia's president has met sudan's military readiness a high level delegation from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates also future khartoum for talks on tuesday. the u.n. envoy for libya is warning of a broader escalation in fighting assad said i may says there is deadlock between warring sides south of the capital tripoli fighters loyal to the un recognized government have launched a new campaign against warlord highly for have to in the south as his forces try to take control of tripoli the government has also issued a warrant to have to arrest well and two hundred people have been killed in the last two weeks of fighting. there's the headlines do stay with us and i'm sure there are twenty eight up south africa is up next and i have more news for you

humans we all just want to belong and be a part of something somewhere so. yeah it is a huge conflict of all these different aspects of my life of trying to belong in all of them and whether there's a point of trying to belong or them who knows. but trying to make them or marian and work together. is something that i'd like to try and achieve. throughout the years of apartheid rugby was the flagship sport of the white community. going one hundred twenty kilos and with twenty eight caps in the national team for the mob it has become a household name. again for him carol brought in the sweater almost from a previous quickly there's a little overlap of the four but then the coverdale are going to want us any self
