simply missed a court appearance something is relatively minor as that but so far no indication that these raids have have are happening therefore indicating why did the president come out and say that they would be happening could it be just a fear in the immigrant community could it be just to discourage other migrants from coming to the united states or could these raids be planned for another time just sort of leaving more questions more doubts and more worry within communities it wasn't just the $3000.00 or so they were targeted it was also other immigrants they thought that they could be swept up in these in these operations undocumented immigrants could have been swept up in these deportation as well so a lot of worry but no indication that this is actually taken place on sunday gabriel it's on deforest in washington thank you well arsalan iftikhar is a human rights lawyer and senior fellow at georgetown university joins us live from

washington d.c. also thank you very much for coming on the program as gabriel was saying that you know these all the actions of the past 24 hours has led to so many more questions and so much more confusion but what kind of a message that sends and does it actually act as a deterrent. as the top administration says to other possible immigrants conducting these raids or the threat of weights and arrests. well dave you know i think that donald trump thinks that the average american is not very smart you know by trying to fear and confusion and terror you know thousands of immigrant families all over the country really does nothing to address the border issue that the united states is dealing with you know at our southern border with mexico but i think what he's trying to do essentially. trying to pander to his political base i think that he is trying to put lipstick on

a racist pig you know and divert you know much needed resources from actually improving our asylum system system here by beefing up asylum officers by allowing immigration judges more latitude to process all the immigrants coming into this country instead he's just putting on a little window dressing for his right wing go white supremacist political base and going to the tweets against the democratic congresswoman telling them to go home to their own country what kind of an impact is this going to have and do you think the democrats are dealing with this in the right way and having some kind of a united front against these kinds of comments and the type of rhetoric that's coming from donald trump. well donald trump is clearly having a very racist week and you know here he goes on a twitter tirade against for minority women of color members of congress 3 out of 4 of whom were born in the united states and told them to go back to this country to

their country you know we also have to remember that this is a president who once said that he called for the total and complete shutdown of muslims entering into the united states once referred to mexicans as rape is one start of the barack obama birth or controversy and so it's really important when you see this sort of racism zina phobia massage any islamophobia coming from the commander in chief it's really important for minority communities here in the united states to act as intersectional allies to one another ensure that he's a one term president and my question is if the u.s. is a country of immigrants almost everyone there has come at some point to create the country why is he allowed to to get make these kinds of comments and get away with it and why isn't there more of a reaction or a pushback against. the what we're seeing against immigrants the kind of rhetoric the kind of. basically climbed that we're seeing against

immigrants whether illegal or not. the answer is 3 simple words the republican party today's republican party led by mitch mcconnell and others have essential emboldened donald trump xenophobia his jingoism and the white supremacy that's been coming out of the white house there's more of a spine to paul ryan's new book than to him when he was trying to deal with donald trump and so i think that you know a large part of the political blame goes towards the republican party who have essentially emboldened donald trump by not calling out his racism is sexism his homophobia slum a phobia and massage any and so i think that a lot of the blame lies there as well thank you very much arsalan iftikhar as always great to speak to you thank you divya. there is plenty more ahead in this news hour including south africa's government taking aim at

a gang of ballance on the streets of cape town. and we'll tell you about india's tower of trash they'll soon be taller than the taj mahal. and on top of the world the england finally have their hands on the cricket world cup peter have reaction. tens of thousands of people were back on the streets of hong kong to protest against what they say is beijing's growing political influence in the city's affairs but what started as a peaceful march in the suburb of shotton ended up in violence as riot police charged towards demonstrators and a shopping center. has this report from hong kong. after bringing central hong kong to a standstill on previous said days protesters are taking their fight to the suburbs

. and government leaders are struggling to climb down on the resistance movement that is largely leaderless most of the protesters here are young people who tell us they are disillusioned about hong kong's future. protesters set up barricades in the center of sharpton and riot police arrived from different directions trying to close off access routes. the situation is tense protesters remain defiant and the patience of police is wearing thin. by 8 pm the police sent out a warning. they are ready to charge but here you can see the pacific rim even begin to disrespect to the moment the police will meet you know during the midday no night. you know when the bank says. even me because in fact

leaving me any more you want to make it seem some of the protesters retreated to a nearby mall complex the police ran into them and that's when the situation became even more violent i. like so many protests here this march is meant to be a peaceful one most of our people do not trust the. chinese and they did. call it transpires for the past 5 weeks these have become familiar scenes in hong kong tens of thousands of protesters showed up here today surprising even the moments organizers and president did for a suburban area like shots and the message is quite clear to caroline's government enough is enough the controversy over the proposed law to extradite suspects to

stand trial in china sparked large scale protests last month now demands have broadened protesters want reassurances that their fundamental freedoms are protected britain returned hong kong to chinese rule in 1997 the so-called one country 2 systems and over agreement guaranteed the people of hong kong freedom is not widely available in mainland china. but people here tell as those freedoms are being eroded by creeping or story tyrion ism from beijing it remains to be seen what sort of concessions chief executive carol lam can offer that will be enough to pacify young people here for now protesters vow they will continue to push back until they achieve meaningful. political reforms.

well earlier my colleague barbara sarah spoke with joshua wong a leading hong kong pro-democracy activist who was jailed for his role in the movement one was also one of the people involved in the clashes at that shopping mall that you just saw in jamil its report. more than $100.00 and people get on the street again government fully withdraw and terminated their extradition bill and in the long term it's a must to apply free election in hong kong especially when one country 2 system eroded to be one country one in a half system the government has not read through all of that bill we get in fact abuse exists in the legislative program of course the leader of hong kong provides a misleading narrative claimed that the bill is that but when we check on the legislative program of parliament of hong kong that bill is due exis and can be easily reactivated again in the next trial that's why movements do continue and we

urge government to terminate the bill now free election is to wait out especially half of the state of the legislative congress so not democratically elected the leader of hong kong is selected by beijing instead of elected by a whole complete that's why we continue our strike and hong kong people is just freedom and democracy and if you seen any indication from authorities that they are taking you seriously that they are perhaps thinking of some concessions that to give the demonstrators they claim that they take seriously with using baten attack on me and used to have a straight shoot on me and that's what i experienced 7 hours ago in site shopping mall if peaceful demonstration is used so no one have to take risks that might be prosecuted and jailed especially as don't want to have the job for 3 types.

unfortunately home call 2 of 7 minutes of population which is 25 percent of hong kong cities and talk to districts already but governments do and . that's why. do continue not only is wrong to the government headquarters but also a protest rally happening in different districts including the district in the new church there is close to mainland china the 1st case of a bull has been reported in the democratic republic of congo city of goma the discovery was has raised concerns the virus could spread quicker in the densely populated area which is close to the rwandan border goma which has a population of 1000000 it's located south of where the 2nd largest ebola outbreak on record was 1st detected a year ago officials say the city has been preparing for a potential outbreak the virus has been hard to contain in rural areas due to

mistrust of health officials and communal violence. south africa's government has reassured people living in cape town that the army will only be deployed on to the city streets temporarily the move which is expected to last 3 months is aimed at tackling the rise of merde the rising murder rate in the city's poorest neighborhoods where than 2000 people have been murdered in the western cape province in the past 6 months almost half of them in an area known as cape flats for me the miller reports. all too familiar scenes on the cape flats in cape town we communities are terrorized by gang violence and the. mobile phone footage shows opposing gangs in manenberg open fire at point blank range in a field just across from high rise flats in another video a man who we are told is a gang member shoots across

a parking lot and yet another taken in hanover park shots are fired in defiance of police as they arrive at the scene people in these communities say they live in fear and the police have lost control and many welcome the government's decision to send soldiers to 10 areas they say of being held hostage by gangs and violence. one of them is dawn peters who has lived in manenberg for 17 years her son trevor was shot dead a month ago as he walked to the shop to buy snacks for a football match gone says she ran for cover as the shots rang out outside a home. for the guns invariants but i couldn't see their faces 1st dog obviously. and so i saw them. for they wasn't far from with the corner was from the shop so i knew i wasn't going to make it the fight on both sides the people that

these guys come with guns. as they are in the shops just. and so i just that and so on and then i just it's 3 lives. aside from mourning her son dawn says she's had to plead with the other 2 sons to not take revenge for their brother's murder she says the cycle of violence has to stop we've been in manenberg for 2 days and throughout both days they've been multiple shootings on the streets around us just to further down there's just been a gang shoot out that happened minutes ago and people here say that was between rival gangs we've been told not to go any closer because it's not safe. because. nobody. community leader jeremy bruce speaks at a community meeting he says it's up to people living here to keep the community safe and that deploying the army is

a temporary solution to the greater problem of poverty and unemployment this community holds marches every week some may argue in a futile attempt to keep the community safe when it's the gangs who appear to have the power the minister of police says the military's mission will be to stabilise these areas while they continues to be uncertainty around when that will happen these narrow streets continue to be the playground of gangs with guns for me to mullah al-jazeera cape town. and there one see in waynflete the devastating flooding across india nepal and by the day. we follow the plight of the good deeds in iraq who survived i thought the campaign of genocide. and the epic final at wimbledon and peter had the best of the action and that therefore.

going to welcome back we're here across united states we have been watching the progression of barry make its way on to the gulf coast and then inland bring some very heavy rain and flooding rain across much of the area those clouds right there in we're going to be dealing with the remnants for the next couple of days and that means a lot of flooding across much of louisiana mississippi arkansas maybe up to tennessee as well here's the rain pattern that we're going to be seeing on monday a lot of locations are going to be under flash flood warnings over the next few days as we go towards tuesday though they were going to be seeing the remnants start to break apart and we're going to get a little bit of a break in the rain but still in that same area a lot of rain is going to be falling anywhere between 400 and possibly 500 millimeters of rain by the time we get towards tuesday evening here towards the east are not looking too bad for new york a hot day for you with a temperature of 31 degrees well we are going to see some very heavy rain across

parts of central america over the next few days and as you can see anywhere from a naga all the way down here towards panama city that is where a particular we're going to sing some localized flooding as well over here towards the east the islands it is going to be quite rainy breaking up by the time we get to tuesday but santa domingo is looking quite nice with attempt a few of 33 degrees and have into we do expect to see some thunderstorms in your forecast maybe get it to about 31 as well. discover new developments in surgery. in hiroshima japan to meet the surgeon nearing new techniques in regenerating on. a breakthrough medical trial provide some much needed only to cystic fibrosis so for us based on all the evidence we have the virus is a least a 100 fold more effective cost a very nice to get the cure revisited 0.

news is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be backed you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where i'll be in slides as well as in front of a t.v. they're on the smartphone they're on the tablet they're on the computer. and that's the way al-jazeera is a fall into the true media network. hello again you're watching are there and here's

a reminder for our top stories this hour iran's president says his government would be willing to talk to the u.s. if washington lifts its economic sanctions and return to the conditions of the 2050 new clear deal several of the deals european signatories to also issued statements calling for dialogue to resume. the u.s. president is under fire for a series of racially charged tweets against 4 democratic congressman. men of color donald trump told the group to leave the u.s. and go back to where they came from democrats have dismissed the attack as filtered and xenophobic. and tens of thousands of people have protested against what they say is beijing's growing political influence in hong kong to verify what started as a peaceful march in the suburb of shocked in and didn't violence as white police charged towards demonstrators in a shopping center. ok we could not get more on our top story and that's iran's conditional offer of new nuclear talks with the united states and then carl is

a former deputy national intelligence officer for transnational threats at the cia and he joins us live from boston via skype thank you very much for coming on the program great to have you on i 1st have to ask you we've heard rouhani make some comments about possibly starting talks again if the sanctions are dropped a new also heard the u.s. the e.u. trying to push forward those talks is there any reason for optimism or any. any signs of there's a breakthrough on the horizon. well i wish i could say yes but the concise answer is for the moment at least no and probably more than just for the moment i think it's an astute step for iran to take because here we are talking about an offer to negotiate the substance of a position that iran is is suggesting or trying to move back to is really the status quo prior to the change by the united states towards iran

withdrawing from the nuclear agreement and putting sanctions on iran it also is a stupid because it echoes or in forces or corresponds to the position that the e.u. is taking which is that any negotiation is better than shooting and killing people which would have. fathomable the potential consequences so from that perspective it's a useful thing in substance there's not a lot to it and the american response even from dennis ross who is no longer in america formal american official but for decades has been probably the premier american expert for the middle east. urges iran to stop its enrichment program and to stop its support for fundamentally the

hizbullah in lebanon syria and then in yemen yemen and that is. not a position that iran is going to accept yours so substantively difficult diplomatically i think 0 useful step for moran's to start now a few weeks ago it seemed that. iran and the u.s. are very close to a conflict or at least some kind of a confrontation that seems to have quietened down since. it's. shit what do you think is happening now with that is there still a threat of conflict on the horizon oh i'm afraid that there is a threat. if there's any silver lining in this. slowly on raveling disaster in the making it's that donald trump donald trump talks tough always and almost always has refrained from pulling the trigger he does seem to be an isolationist nasim he is an isolationist he does seem to wish to not

engage american military overseas and so the talk is been very very tough in the last moment consistently whatever the issue he has frankly backed down but the fact that the great britain france the e.u. members themselves are progressively. no longer willing to accept iran's moves with regard to enrichment is alarming america's withdrawal is alarming and anyone who's working the government should know that it's impossible almost to control perfectly entire apparatus of government and the slightest error by an arabian lieutenant or an american ensign could. could unleash. busy violence and fighting it is a very dangerous situation now i'm in

a democratic candidates have been saying that they would be willing to if if the democrats take take over the administration they would be willing to go back to the 2050 new clear deal but do you think that's something that iran would accept is that enough now given given we you know the the rhetoric and the and the pressure that we've seen from both sides. i think the answer is yes the iranians are subtle talented purposeful diplomats they're nobody's fool and if there is any possibility as this crisis unfolds for iran to obtain a better circumstance than they had prior to the american withdrawal from the nuclear agreement then they will pursue it and seize it that said. the deal was quite an event ages to iran and to everyone here is frankly and historically

positive negotiation and agreement and i would hope and be inclined to believe that it is possible still to have iran agree to a revision to the status quo ante trump's antics. and if we bring it back to gibraltarian our away from the u.s. and we've seen the issues in the commercial commercial shipping lanes there. and do you see things ratchet the ratcheting ratcheting up in that in in those waters given iran really saying sorry go ahead. yes it was a rush to get up and the u.k. not surprisingly has been the toughest of all the european powers towards iran and i don't believe iran's accusation that the u.k. was acting on behalf of the united states the united kingdom has its own.

objectives in this and they are to enforce the sanctions against syria here and i take the you get us word but absolutely it's aggression enough and it shows that iran is playing a very dangerous game. by the steps that it is taking in an effort to pressure united states and the european union such as this shipment of oil possibly syria the oil tanker strikes in the persian gulf the stencil will hooty drone attack which is clearly a surrogate operation by iran in yemen the attack of the saudi or arabian oil facility in saudi arabia all of these things are dangerous steps thank you very much glenn carle great to get your thoughts into. representatives from both yemen's government and who thier apple fighters have met

for the 1st time in 5 months during the meeting which happened aboard a un vessel both sides have been tossed to pulling forces out of her data the redeployment from the key port city is a critical part of the sweden cease fire deal which is reached in december. the united arab emirates has recruited at least $500.00 soldiers to be trained in abu dhabi the troops are affiliated with yemen's transitional council a secessionist organization in the south earlier announced a partial withdrawal from yemen and senior iraqi officials are describing it as redeployment they insist they remain committed to the saudi kolisch in which has been fighting. since 2015. has more from yemen's capital sana'a. this kind of also recruitment has taken part in previous times it's not the 1st time for the united arab emirates to recruit people from the south also saudi arabia is involved in such recruitment of yemeni people from south areas and also

from ties to defend its borders in the south of its country. regarding also the. the question about the. discount of recruitment and also the united arab emirates a work draw all from areas in the north of yemen as it has already withdrawn from babel manned. according to reports the then these areas saudi officers have replaced united arab emirates officers in these regions which are strategic regions that's over log on the red sea whiston yemen so the strategic babbin manned and also a moca where the united arab emirates have extensively invested and also backed the saudi led quality in its fight against the whole of these in the worst course

line of day there are many observations believe such a withdrawal will waken the qualifications i'll turn serve on and but others say that this will support the sweden peace agreement that was signed in stockholm last december. next month will mark the 5th anniversary of the start of ourselves mass killing campaign in iraq it is estimated that between 3 and 5000 years e.v.a.'s were murdered because of their religious belief many more are still missing some of the survivors are women who were sold into slavery gupta has the story. shunts the colors she's surrounded by she will only wear black until her missing husband carol returns. she's one of the estimated more than 6000 you see the girls and women who are kidnapped and sold into slavery by isis fighters. she makes dresses to sell for a few dollars in

a can for the internally displaced people in northwestern iraq where my chest started that is she any if i was sitting here with one hand on top of the other be constantly thinking about what i saw did to me while my husband isn't here with my 2 kids are going about my 9 relatives still in ice was hands. isis fighters invaded the city of sin jar in 24 teams and killed thousands of you see these u.n. investigators describe the attack as genocide saying there you see these were systematically targeted for their religious beliefs it took 15 months for kurdish peshmerga fighters to force eisel from sin jar around 3000 you see these are still missing half of them women. earlier this year u.n. teams began examining bodies from mosque raised to identify the dead and gather

evidence of ice of the trustees for eventual trials. but for forensic specialists matching samples with easy the survivors isn't easy because they're scattered both in iraq and abroad. the u.c.b. community was dispersed across many countries after being heavily persecuted by ice so for example there are 2280 families in germany that i aspire to reach to get d.n.a. samples and match though there are 800 families in australia 800 in canada and nearly 100 or 150 in france some families are losing hope of learning the feet of their relatives but. there's no more not in iraq not in syria not anywhere that's aggressive dodge that was able to keep prisoners in the whole camp the only women and children no men but it would still be better to know them not to know. closure that the you see the community desperately needs as it
