2:01 pm
a family business with the agency in charge of diplomacy often sidelined it since this suggests that it's totally chaotic why for example would you appoint a secretary of state because that's a trouble point not a holdover from obama where you hear so distrustful of your own appointee that you shield him out of the decisions trump until is in had a tempestuous relationship tillerson reportedly called trump a moron by all accounts trump has a much closer relationship with taylor's ins replacement former cia director mike pompei oh trump tweeted that pump a it was doing a great job while tillerson was dumb as a rock and lazy as hell john hendren al-jazeera washington. as executive director of the arab center of washington and he says the u.s. president as letting his private advise us hijacked the state department's responsibilities. these are very significant evolutions.
2:02 pm
essentially revealing how dysfunctional this administration has been since its beginning when you have a secretary of state and a secretary of defense kept in the dark when it comes to major decisions pertaining to their turf if you will to their essential job that shows you. the the process has been hijacked from the state department from the defense department into basically that private advice section of the white house floor for the secretary of state to learn way after the fact of these major trips major decisions being made on behalf of the united states yet the person who is supposed to be in charge of people and forcing and implementing u.s. foreign policy doesn't know that he can offer all of these meetings is a very serious violation i think of 1st of all in terms of security issues
2:03 pm
and in terms of the procedure that is usually conventional wisdom and terms of how policy is conducted in washington. hundreds of iraqis have stormed the bahraini embassy in central baghdad in anger over the u.s. sponsored manami conference on peace in the middle east bahrain has recalled its ambassador to iraq after demonstrators broken and took down the flag replacing it with one of their own police used live rounds to break the hour long standoff but no one was injured a 50000000000 dollar economic plan was unveiled by white house adviser general and behind this week as part of a larger middle east peace plan the trumpet ministration has been working on. the 2nd of 2 debates for democratic presidential candidates has come to a close in miami and so frontrunner and formalize president joe biden face off
2:04 pm
against the likes of bernie sanders and coming to harris and gallagher reports from miami. outside the debate hall crowds gathered to back their candidate of choice. many support the 2 best known former vice president joe biden and vermont senator bernie sanders but everyone here wants change 1st of all we have our man the man stands for make america think hard right now but i think. getting better 1st grade . because by doing what you night. when you get there and that he's going to make it better and then from i will release children from cages on a stage candidates keen to make the voices heard made this the robust debate many expected at times it was hard to hear what was being said from an area where we don't know a lot but senator kemal harris who with an emotional attack on the former vice
2:05 pm
president on the issue of race it was hurtful. to hear you talk about the reputations of 2 united states senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country and it was not only that but you also worked with them to oppose bussing and we got neither bernie sanders nor joe biden attacked one another perhaps a wise move for 2 of the leading candidates when he came to president trump though the vermont senator didn't hold back while president trump you're not stay lit up for working families when you're trying to throw 32000000 people or their health care that they have and that 83 percent of your tax benefits go to the top one percent that's how we'll be when you're supposed to look for it that you. would smile for joe biden this may be seen as a bruising debate but as one of the most experienced politicians on stage he managed to hold his own lashley we got to unite the united states of america as
2:06 pm
much as anybody says we can if we do there's not a single thing the american people can do this is the united states of america we can do anything if we're together both debates are over and all 20 candidates have had their moment in the spotlight but with such a crowded field it's been a hectic couple of days ultimately voters across the country will decide who the winners and losers were but with almost 18 months to go before the general election anything could and probably will happen and gallacher al-jazeera miami florida well let's get more on this knowledge on by peter mathews professor of political science at 5 1st college and he's joining us live from los angeles mr matthews always good to have you with us on al jazeera the so there has been a lot of talk about that exchange between comma harris and joe biden where she was very critical of his civil rights record what were the moments that stood out for you in this debate. well that was definitely the top moment because come on harris
2:07 pm
was the 1st one to actually take on joe biden who's very well you know liked by a lot of voters are going to go to the vice president or president obama but she were right to his comments earlier that he will be able to work with anyone including the segregationist that he worked with james eastland senator from mississippi and that was a very good example for him to get about working with people he was actually a segregationist white supremacist senator and yet by news that in and harris jumped on it today and said president vice president right and you actually also don't just work with him where you work hard but i think the issue that really affects meet her personally she was a young girl in school and to the 2nd class to be integrated in a busing action to bring african-american children to white schools and by not oppose that policy of the federal level she went right after him on that he was quite defensive and he kind of thought it all been severed could really rather fully an insult he really did look unprepared for that he has been the frontrunner in the race so it is very early days another 18 months to go but do you think that
2:08 pm
has performance tonight along with not just criticism in the last few weeks of the his comments about working with having a good relationship with segregationist politicians but the other sort of gaffes that he has been in the media for while they affect his frontrunner status. well there's no doubt it's going to have some effect but how much is interesting it depends on other people around the end of things i do bernie sanders it's number 2 in the ratings and then libby who are number 3 would not look like a moderate has taken the positive step toward what you did today in shorts and leadership but the key question bernie i think this out i did not ask joe biden who his corporate sponsors are because bible belt ultra long time it took a lot of money from banks and credit card companies and corporations and by and. bernie sanders main forte is that he's against corporate money for the common people he doesn't accept the money all these years he could have done that with but
2:09 pm
he held back a bit you know about a lot and as a reporter mentioned he seemed to focus but he said it's does seem to focus his attacks more on the current president donald trump than on joe biden so we've had the 1st 2 debates in this very crowded field of 20 candidates who would you say looking the strongest so far after these debates i think was a bit more of that quite well yesterday she was on the stage today which is very well yesterday and she's one of the most electable candidates with solid proposal detail ones now and he's got a lot more support recently so i think it's sort of mind biden sanders errors and. senator warren so we have to have a cheek side of these 2 debates and it will take a few days to see how things go. if if you date at least i'm sure mr matthew lee is very much looking at tom we appreciated that speech to matthews live in los angeles thank you my pleasure thank you. now democratic leaders in the u.s.
2:10 pm
house of representatives have backed down to president trump on their border aid bill demands the u.s. has passed a 4600000000 dollars package to help address the surge and people trying to cross into the u.s. from mexico but that doesn't include additional protections for migrant children that many democrats have wanted for the bill which has already passed the republican controlled senate now needs to be signed into law by the president. while mexico is currently giving refuge to more than 14000 asylum seekers and under a new agreement with the u.s. could be about to take 60000 more there are serious questions though about whether it can handle them john heilemann has been meeting migrants on the streets of tehran. myra and her 12 year old son waiting limits compatable the next day in the u.s. that's 6 months away it's part of a plan learners remain in mexico those mainly from home. who've

2:12 pm
meanwhile they're bearing the brunt of the new arrivals i think it's the perfect storm coming together in which everything is going to hit it. one moment down the line they wonder they have no shelter all the private organizations charitable organizations churches they have not met with us they stopped for meetings since the last 2 or 3 months so we don't know what they're planets. we don't know either with the wave of people already crushing in there is government ministries what they plan to do with them no one could tell us or even give us an interview the issues particularly pressing because these people are being dropped into some of the most dangerous areas in mexico here in one of there's been more than a 1000 murders so far this year and where we are right now we just heard shots people fleeing and then federal police turning up. it's not a big surprise that many like myra
2:13 pm

2:25 pm
ranch of almost 200000 acres of overgrazed grassland they said about returning it to me to along with the harmful of smaller farms using a process called rewilding rewilding is the restoration of an entire ecosystem to its natural state by removing foreign species reintroducing and protecting native ones it begins with the removal of livestock the biggest patient to flourish this encourages insects and overly learned most attracting birds and other small predators removing fences allows the return of therapy forces which are preyed on by a picks predators those at the top of the food chain which then also multiply. species in critically low numbers totally absent a rehabilitated ultimately free and predator populations regulate one another and the ecosystem evolves into a by a long term self-sustaining wilderness. when we bought this property there were
2:26 pm
probably 500 miles of fence line. that needed to come down and when you take the fences down you see wildlife coming back and because for 80 years it's been excluded from the best grasses prices are to keep wildlife. out of the best grasses and keep your lifestyle and the best. so it's very exciting to see the grasslands and the forests begin to restore our selves and that's the joy of taking fences down. 100 benefiting from these grasses that when i call those relatives of the llama and a keystone species that is one that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the ecosystem not often you see one by itself
2:27 pm
they're pretty emblematic of the paragon ian step if they're plentiful and they're calm like this one is then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threads course and that's where. i want to see what rewilding looks like up close. i mean you. kristen so still the parts they rector of conservation has agreed to show me. has been a guiding hand on the rewinding process since the parts beginning so no one knows the flora and fauna you're better than him. on route and we bump into a few of the locals and. meow but . in some way. part of the course of this park. the pygmy old priests and small birds rodents and in 6 to thriving healthy
2:28 pm
grassland. takes me 2 years of the park where it borders on a working ranch difference in the grass on either side he says striking. here is a good example of what happened in one place where you remove the livestock and one place where landowners decide to put more livestock then their land is able to support in terms of food. so the consequence is that you last division and you see the composition of the plant seeds different so if you have livestock permanently eating the grass they don't have the chance to release the feed and their recovery very slow there is some consequence like erosion that is very hard to. take over destined to be really record.
2:29 pm
of the park at least and the team have established a breeding center for. us to reach the darwin. baited and brought here to a climatized before being released. really. strongly associated with. going in a big grassland so i grassland without a real complete. main proposal of. the captive population is providing in the. population the main issue here. relation was so. less than 20 bird. population of rio mated by hunting and the destruction of their hobby does but is now slowly growing and successfully dispersing here from a very year that have been released then you'll see that there is a line of fans right now we are removing it and that we prove they cannot be
2:30 pm
barriers that have been released to be me with their wild greer we are now in the 3rd generation and we are planning to keep this program running in the next 35 years when we are made that we can read up with relation of about 100 birthing there while. the tiny the growing real population will in turn help sustain their only natural predator and the species and most excited to see they lose the king of part of the. and come to meet their herd there and hunter. in the area used to keel over tend. to protect their communities flocks there. are millions of what we had never. done a. fair

2:33 pm
hard to actually see a pool but for crease their return credit reports and predators have been systematically persecuted for decades and decades so their numbers get precariously love every ecosystem has what's called their apex species here in patagonia its promise and if you take out the very top predator everything cascades down from that and comes out of order even though it's early here in the park in terms of rebalancing we can see some big changes where there are water systems and grasslands are definitely coming back the number of bullets in the park and the numbers of what not goes in the.
