damaging to others in trump's office. right now we're still trying to understand the various dimensions in the pieces in this puzzle we've seen a bit of the transcript but not the entire transcript we've heard some of the circumstances about the exchange and call there has been the allegation that president trump's attempts to hold up aid to ukraine were tied to this but there's no explicit statement to that fact and the whistleblower his alleges allegedly said that there were other pieces to the interaction that we haven't been made aware of yet so we don't have the entire picture at this moment but what we do see is potentially explosive and it shows an american president asking a foreign government to investigate a u.s. national and that is unprecedented we've not seen something like that before and remember this happened this call happened one day after the moeller report was released and the motor report was in part investigating behaviors that were similar

the president was charged with similar types of coordination potential collusion with a foreign government to affect american politics so that's what's extraordinary about this is that president trump allegedly engaged in a similar behavior with another leader a day after the motor report's release a u.n. investigator has dismissed comments from the saudi con prince saying he gets responsibility for the killing of the journalists. and this kind of ma says mohammed bin solemn on how to handle his debts and saudi authorities have stifled their investigation awesome have bar reports now from new york. she spent months investigating the killing of solid journalist. and concluded it was deliberate. and extra judicial un special rapporteur to ugliness kalama also found credible evidence linking death to crown prince mohammed bin said. old. a

a message to his core supporters that he is cracking down on immigration this goes a step further this will be the lowest number of refugees allowed into the u.s. since the law passed in the refugee program in 1980 look at just 18000 refugees and really restricting where those come from to 3 different areas iraqis who helped the u.s. during the invasion about 1500 central american migrants and 5000 people facing religious persecution so the president has sent this number he had to do it before october 1st the beginning of the fiscal year now under the law he has to consult with congress he hasn't done that in the past it doesn't appear he's done that now now congress could take steps to try and rein in the president on this issue we've seen in the democratically controlled house they've passed legislation that would increase this number but it's highly unlikely that it would get through the republican controlled senate controlled by the president's own party now we could see human rights groups try to file lawsuits try and block this very low number

just to put in perspective barack obama had about 110000 refugees now going down 218000 the courts have been unwilling in most cases to take up these sorts of cases because the president is seen when it comes to this issue is having broad latitude well you know as a senior u.s. advocate at refugees international she outlined the implications of a refugee limit. the reason that the trump administration has given for reducing this is they say that because the united states expects to process about 350000 asylum applicants this year it's necessary for them to limit the number of refugees resettled the same officers who process asylum applications also screen refugees overseas the problem with that argument is that most because of policy that been put in place over the last year on the top administration has really limited the number of people who get asylum and whether or not you can get asylum

so very few of those people who are going to be processed are actually going to get asylum what we're going to actually have is very many many fewer refugees being resettled overseas and very few people getting asylum we're basically just not going to be having a lot of people gaining refuge in the united states at all trade talks between the u.s. and china will resume in 2 weeks that's according to u.s. media believe the meeting will take place in beijing on october the 10th the trade wall between the u.s. and china has some slightly over the past few weeks the lifting of some time. the u.s. democratic senator has criticized the egyptian government's crackdown after protests last week chris murphy has called on the government in cairo to allow demonstrations egyptian rights groups say security forces have arrested nearly 2000 people will protests a planned friday. president trump has been you know an absolute disaster for global democracy causes he is empowered autocrats all over the world at the top of that list is president also you see the congress is going to be watching what happens is

on al-jazeera after a woman. to the u.s. treasury notes to the months ago say that much money was in the let's bring you the stories and developments that are rapidly changing the living what's the lives of piracy. counting the cost. down. and i'm not judging you. let me show you something this is a $1.25 a well i mean if it will buy

a very small cup of coffee millions of people around the world exist on less than this amount a day of the numbers have gone down but there's still a lot of work to be done at a time when the world is looking at how to reduce extreme poverty the spotlight has been turned on the women wherever they have the opportunity to be actively involved in the local communities and economies the huge benefits to the people around them to local economies just know that investing in winning. it's not just the right thing to do it's smart economics because there's a ripple effect the sprites into the wider community so let's take a look at how this works down on the ground. in this film we had to kenya where i would be making change arose at catherine on the day they using rainwater harvesting technology to bring clean water. villages they know that a real community is it's the women what to expect so you should see what they did

with all that expertise this. whole. ringback thing. you. just. did. you. get. in kenya all the women he want to when he says our men yet mandarin feel the pinch of going to get water from the river they don't feel the pinch when i tell these they're reading. the hospital it's the mother. a child is mother wants to deliver and she has to do liberate a health facility and these northern that have facility she can't deliver there

when her child dies she feels the same and they descends they go to look for work that was terrible. this is our village called or disorder village the only source of water here is this river it's very dirty it's very contaminated so when we came to train and we tested the water it was full of equalizer so there people saw the need of having clean water for a woman having safe water is a very key and using water is a new video of her parting them but when i advertised that they were having some trainings on water i are played after the training we came back to do some implementation and the technology you had picked was really more to harvesting so this is the 1st time we started we started with a water tank and after some time there we men say they were going to control the

town of. this community is so i am powered now decided their own village savings account. and the 60. number very. pretty. before we started any projects here i still had them for 6 months i was discussing to building them so when we did this our action plan had to water as a priority was what i was a key problem girls were removed when the when they were going to do 14 the winning there was a lot of there in this community then we see what is the solution to this having clean and safe return so when the plant i bought the water then i went for the training then we'll make him but i shared with them and they bought into the idea so this is what has been helping these women every day somebody is in charge you sell the water keep the records and at the end of the month because you need how

much you have made how much are receiving for the group how much i believe bumping into another project would. come to one how can i use the same method for the project insists. we did savings and learning. activity from the proceeds from what yes this is that if the army is for the project but all this money is loaned out. so betty was how much my musings i commission in these are long groups. about $2.00 and. 2 point one they will be that will only resign blue number the libya line. when i was told it would be on my mind. my own way and i mean i know you can that you i maybe didn't miss you that the man i did plenty of us did we were getting big chunks were all it and it never. did get i mean it really. doesn't

ring true like the 100 i got it's got your. back back back there. okie. doke. game am i doing the plan like a. of the 5 months like lisa in my area and even making bricks. is some of the things that i tried to do. more listening to with my marriage feelings i didn't get

support so much from my community because they had connected so many it up with and you know one thing if you pull of the culture and you get in a soup with property it doesn't make any meanie. i like levy and and lake leaving the like i did but i guess they do my own thing. just. yet. to have to have a way. to go to my duty 100 feet and then michael michael national. it would yes it is my jacomo the one would humble the yellow. because in all that and what i want to run into a little running order i know who. you are what is going on you're living to be

just a little while and. the . day that. i had a problem of getting with and i think it. was a mother was sick so he came to be treated them and told him that if we get what they ended by city it wouldn't be to be deficient because most of this i was as we and they were put in a because we don't want to that's how i learned how to construct i don't want to have all human body do we. we want the community to to have ownership of whatever is happening around them so about as this wait for it has this trouble for it then they would not want to see anybody destroying their water table and we try to help them and i raise the

problems because we look want to come to the old solution and whenever you see rosemary coming you know these men but lose maybe not have them and so we said the to try to realize that our problems i was and this is actually you know 2. 6 that. you know the african tradition. thing a lot we need demand support even for us to come up with this time the people who sit in the health central committee are basically men so it's then we'll decide what needs to happen so if we leave them alone then they would say what's going to be should be the women make it our society but in this we will bring this i miss you all the time then they realize i will remember also have something to go to the corner of the community. in washington d.c. there's a state of. i'm on my bike and the king. asked me where

we lived if. i'm not going to use your fork you draw or directly with the holes i don't like to give you guys the. way to not only have a vision of your life might be good general parents very. threatening to plaster the inside for a bill we are watching the last saturday it is raining and sunday are trying to. have a passion for women and. when my mother was married she had no control over anything. even if she bought something on good to the home she had no say over it everything was to be decided by a man we need came to education the way was given the priority so i said oh my

god we have this advantaged lot so it's that are growing in me that i need to be a different woman. and as i grew up i should create a life for women. this is one of the key primly schools in our home area so i thought it would be brutal probably does have a trunk from home there is no water so i'm thinking that even as i won't accept the water opposite this would be a really good entry point for me. to get. to know no
