to hundreds of thousands of people there will now be minimum income standards for those seeking permanent or temporary visas this comes into effect on october 15th joins me live from washington d.c. so in the past the trump ministration has tried to say that they only had a problem with illegal immigration but this specifically targets legal immigrants. that's right and donald trump on the campaign trail and certainly the administration has made no secret of the fact that there is a push to try and put in place the kind of sort of points based immigration system that you see in canada the u.k. even new zealand where legal immigrants who are wealthy or who have the opportunity for education are given preference over those who may require things like government housing and even that social assistance in the form of food stamps and

that's exactly what this new rule is about those that do see those benefits will moving forward if this becomes something that is put into effect in october they will be penalized. as mike ritz come to the united states seeking a better life those who come legally sometimes rely on government benefits food and housing but that assistance may now come at the cost of obtaining full citizenship on monday u.s. officials announce those who come to the u.s. must be financially independent immigrants who need help from social programs may be denied so-called green cards or the ability to obtain work permits and even permanent residency president trumps administration is reinforcing the ideals of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility ensuring that immigrants are able to support themselves and become successful here in america the announcement comes

just days after officials arrested hundreds of people in the u.s. state of mississippi hughes to working illegally in food processing plants the u.s. government says it's also targeting employers who hire such workers but so far none of the employers in the mississippi raid has been fined or arrested we just finished an investigation very similar in tennessee over 150 arrests 18 months ago where we now have an individual employer who is guy. a year and half sentence in federal prison for this effort we're in the middle of a criminal investigation this case will be pursued the raids have sparked protests in the united states critics say the raids are part of president trump's effort to marginalize minority populations this is ministration has directed d.h.l. to to conduct these raids as part of what i believe is this administration's campaign of terror which is to make holes whole populations of people afraid to go to work the white house argues congress passed bipartisan legislation in 1906 to

prevent immigrants from exploiting public benefits but the laws were enforced as congress has been an able to reform immigration law the trump administration says it's seeking to attract only the most self-reliant applicants the benefit to taxpayers is a long term benefit of seeking to ensure that our immigration system is bringing people to join us as american citizens as legal permanent residents 1st who can stand on their own 2 feet who will not be reliant on the welfare system especially in the of the modern welfare state which is so expansive and expensive frankly the new immigration policy will take effect in october but it's almost certain to face legal challenges in the courts. yeah already there is an effort underway by immigration activists they are consulting with attorneys to try and

prepare those legal challenges the goal of these activists we're told is to try and prevent this from being implemented but as it stands october 15th is the day that this change will take effect all right kelly how good life for us in washington can really thank you. the united states is expanding its military presence near northwestern syria turkey it's looking to create a safe zone in the area 6 u.s. officials landed in sillier and southeastern turkey on monday near the border with syria between operation center is set to be established their new barker has more from gaza in turkey. the defense ministry has confirmed the arrival of 6 u.s. officials to the city of show on the close to the syrian border we have no idea who they are whether they are military officials or otherwise all of this arrival is being interpreted as being all part of the creation of a joint command center that will eventually be a springboard to the creation of

a safe zone in northern syria both the u.s. and turkey met for 3 days of talks in ankara last week at the conclusion of that was indeed to push ahead with the creation of a safe so with that so the united states would happen incrementally over an unspecified period of time the indication coming from took his defense ministry is that this command center could be online within a matter of days there has been a significant difference of opinion between the u.s. and turkey over the shape and dimensions of the safe soon the difference of opinion how deep it should be who should be in control of it and particularly strong differences over the wife e.g. the kurdish fighters very much seen as a terrorist organization a threat to national security by turkey been seen by the united states as an ally in the fight against eisel and they have indeed been heavily armed by america in recent weeks and months despite that the turkish government has repeatedly said

that it would be prepared to go ahead with a unilateral incursion into northern syria to push the white b.g. completely from the area the u.s. last week said that any decision to act unilaterally would be unacceptable still on sunday took his foreign minister reiterated that threat is very unclear at the moment despite the fact that the u.s. and turkey say that they're going to work together on the creation of these safe so how they are going to get over their differences of opinion when it comes to the white p.g. saudi arabia is offering its full support t.m. is government after southern separatists take effect of control of aden has been a flurry of diplomatic activity in riyadh saudi arabia is prince as well as the king have met but leaders from the u.a.e. and yemen saudi and elaine are coalition partners and yet elaine is now urging a dialogue despite backing the separatists for a major offensive over the weekend. all flights in and out of hong kong international airport had been canceled for the day that's after thousands of

anti-government protesters flattered into the arrivals hall more than $100.00 flights have been disrupted demonstrators say they're occupying the airport for a 4th day to raise international awareness for their protest rob mcbride has more from inside hong kong's international airport. incredible scenes of hong kong's international airport we just had to walk the last kilometer to get here joining a steady stream of protesters literally thousands of people getting on buses getting out of a vehicles walking through jammed roads to make it here to the terminal bringing this terminal to a complete standstill people here are outraged at what they see as the police brutality in the way that they cleared protests on sunday evening that you. we hear to support the 5 demands and now because the police have used excessive violence and have caused a lot of exhaustion within honkin society we hope the government and police will

address these issues directly and to solve these social problems and hope things will get back to normal as soon as possible. a female 1st aid blinded by police because of close range shooting that's why we're here today calling for an eye for an eye and also fresh shame on police circulating have been various clips of video of police firing tear gas inside stations of wielding battens against protesters going down escalators and so on especially significant is the wounding of a good one of the protests who may well have lost an eye as a result people here are carrying various banners and posters calling police brutality calling the police murderers and so on it is true that police did seem to adopt for. tough tactics in clearing away sunday's demonstrations possibly it was

a way of trying to maybe scare people into not coming out not taking part in illegal activities if that was the case then maybe they have to think again. at the tricycles the editor of aviation told me earlier that the protesters should be prepared for more robust response from beijing. this is an incredibly smart move by the protestors but it's also at the same time an incredibly dangerous move because it will really invite main beijing to crack down. the hong kong airport you know hong kong is. a huge 11 of the world's biggest centers of commerce and for the protesters to shut down the airport this is an absolutely. i mean did to me it's an unprecedented move on their part and again i think it's

a very smart move because it is really going to get the attention of beijing but at the same time it's a very dangerous move because it is going to bring more attention from beijing and i'm afraid that beijing could actually crack down and send in the military as they did in tim and square so how do the airlines deal with 50 now what is what is what what is it that they do to kind of unwind this situation and there is very little that the airlines can do. when you have a plane in the air and the airport shuts down they have they have to vector to a different airport so if there's a plane in the air in the airport shut down in hong kong is not accepted anymore landing and they have to go to somewhere like shin's in which is just across the border from hong kong or they have to go to macau which is probably not the best alternative because it's a fairly small airport. or they have to turn around and go back to where they came

a lack of jobs that leads to what the mollison more people to the u.s. border than any of the country is a problem with is that on the way the problem is that since there's no work in guatemala many people migrate and sometimes it's sad what happens to those who die or get killed while searching for a new future to help their family get him a taste promised to stop creating jobs by increasing tourism and foreign investment to build what he calls an economic war it's going to be tough inequality is deeply ingrained in a country that's the biggest economy in central america but in which more than half . the population live in poverty is way off confirming added to all this is an unexpected challenge to do just signed by the outgoing president with the us it says that migrants crossing the country mainly from honduras and el salvador have to ask for asylum in guatemala rather than continue to the states if it's ratified it could mean tens of thousands of new arrivals mr jim doesn't want that deal but

ourselves i did not know i could have a baby and contraceptives are too expensive and we cannot afford them caring for our children is difficult i don't want my child to be undernourished like so many others. hyperinflation makes it difficult to buy food and medicines contraceptives are out of reach that's why people line up in front of these n.g.o.s every day clinics like this one receive lots of donations from abroad and that's why they can provide accessible contraceptives to the population but this device for example is about $150.00 on the street while here it costs only for the problem is that sometimes they don't have enough dr embry says the prices is having an impact and more and more young people are coming here looking for help you know. we're giving away what we have and it's a lot working with the health ministry but now we're out of contraceptive pills on

the streets they cost $10.00 times more and the people cannot afford it earlier this year the united nations launched an emergency program focused on the prevention of violence but that also provides assistance in reproductive health. venezuela has very progressive laws and had several programs to protect and empower girls the problem is that now the programs are underfunded and without resources we are focusing on giving away contraceptive education and prevention. says she would like to go back to school one day and become an astrologer but pursuing a dream is not easy in venezuela these days public services have collapsed and lack of education and reproductive health care are leaving goes exposed to unwanted pregnancies that add up to the difficulties they already endured. the united states is weakening decades all protections for its endangered species

as president all travel now allowed to take into account the cost of protecting a species and like it protections for animals that have their recently classified as threatened the changes have been widely criticized by conservation groups in the u.s. but the trouble minute. gratian says they will improve transparency and efficiency will travers as the president of born free usa national animal advocacy a nonprofit organization he joins us via skype from london we appreciate your time so much so these changes what do they mean for for groups like yours that try to save and protect animals. well it seems extraordinary that on world elephant day we actually have something that i can only describe as the trump extinction plan and the irony is. it was a republican president richard nixon in 1993 with bipartisan support that brought in the endangered species act when the world human population was less than 4000000000 today we have again

a republican president and his administration weakening that very piece of legislation when the world population is almost double that i fear for the 1000000 almost 3 she's this are threatened with extinction and the 1650 species are listed on the e.s.a. so let's talk about that you mention that this this is actually this act came under president nixon sense then how how successful has the added dangerous species act been. well that as i say there's about $650.00 species on the act and a and $47.00 have been taken off the register during that time now one might say well that's a lot of species going on and not very many coming off but i think that that reflects the state of the world the world has become you know massively human populated i don't know if you know this but the. number of mammals in the world is 60 percent of the mammals in the world are farm animals 36 percent of

humans and wild mammals account for only 4 percent of the mammals on this planet so the pressure that the human species is exerting both through its lifestyle and its sheer physical numbers on wild species is quite intense quite dramatic and this is the time when we should be doing more for endangered species protecting them better and not removing those protections. are you concerned that any damage that might be done by changing this act might be irreversible. well i certainly hope it can be reversible reversible and what i would hope is that each city each each community each state in the united states takes their own independent action to protect the endangered species that are found in their locality in a sense by passing the federal system just as they're doing with the climate change

situation where cities and companies and communities have taken climate change seriously even though the u.s. government appears not to be well travers with born free usa mr traverse thank you very much my pleasure. talking about i'm endangered species we're going to talk about one of the world's most endangered species in fact the mountain gorillas of central africa are they're making a slow and fragile return from the brink of extinction stephanie decker reports from the verona mountains in rwanda the center of the conservation efforts what you didn't look to the book were at the foot of the very good mountains and getting a briefing on how to behave around the mountain gorilla that's what everyone here has come to see and they've paid $1500.00 each to spend one hour with the great apes in their habitat are you excited i am beyond excited this is.
