in mexico city many amid all the madness there's also been so much confusion about exactly what took place especially with the video what do we know about what's happened inside that lower. absolutely if there's 2 things that we do know is one it was a chaotic afternoon at a chaotic u.v. in the state of sinaloa and it was confusing evening and we say that because we do know that there was an exchange of gunfire between heavily armed men in the city of the capital city of the mexican state of sinaloa and exchanged with police officers and these were heavily armed individuals that are believed to be associated with the powerful solo drug cartel and we say confusion again because we know that the violence was rooted in what police said was the apprehension the detention of the son of quite keen in mind. that and again a very confusing day as information was trickling in we also heard from mexico

security minister say that that the that the detained of the son of tepid response was actually released protect lives presumably what he means here is that police were out outgunned by these attackers from the city loader where you see machine guns that are using high caliber will high caliber and unit ammunition against police officers and we've also heard reports from a about a prison escape as you mentioned we've heard reports that there were as many as 50 to vidual that escaped from a prison nearby. and several of them had been apprehended but again amidst all this all the chaos and confusion it seems as though the situation that that actually continues to evolve in the state of sinaloa and money all of this also comes in the family. sense that a pretty terrible will come next i think garrity 7 sense to say that where does all of this leave the government. the government is under tremendous amount of pressure

is especially given the fact that there are such violent incidents take place this week on monday there were 14 police officers that were gunned down in the next 2 state of the truck and a few days later in the city of get little another 15 at least were killed in a in an exchange of gunfire between the armed men presumably presumably his men with the cartel in the city get a little and with military forces in the state of get later this all of this comes of it you'll see even announced by the president at this under a law is that on monday saying that it dances are being made in the area of insecurity so given the pessimism that so many mexicans feel over the security situation in the country many here believe that 200-1000 is on track to be yet another record setting year for violent homicides in the country that that could the current trend continues that may just be the case right now a part of a live press and mexico city banks that take money. u.s.

poetry and perform 2 of her latest songs and we want to hear from you as you're watching some mr questions in your comments for a minute through twitter or you tube. and well my philosophies of musical journey has seen has saying to fans around the world one of the biggest was at the nobel peace prize culture that in 2015 a performance that was watched by millions now living in new york the experimental singer songwriter is on the road touring her 1st album recorded largely in english the songs on everywhere we looked was burning combine the sound of north african instruments with electronica but it's her voice and lyrics that are the focal point of her art i will listen. the.

hollywood bowl. analyst so good to have you in the stream. i am going to take you back to when you were young and you were growing up in tunisia the idea of being a singer songwriter writing your music writing your lyrics how much support did you get for that much. a little bit. well of course i wouldn't be here if i wasn't supported i was really supported by my friends and my

classmates throughout my. years in school. but it's true i mean i didn't i wasn't really encouraged by my parents to like to become a singer so that wasn't like what they say what they suggest a profession it's just forget it oh ok. there's no way you're going to become a singer why. well just like because i mean like many other parents it's the probably the financial part of it and the uncertainty part of it when they might be they might actually. find it but what if it financial a subject. but also like for a woman you know my mom was really concerned for a woman it's not the right place to be. in shows and you know it's a mask masculine you know universe and yeah so so

yeah i was. encouraged to follow that path but there was nothing to do because it was in me i think since i was born or something so i think your fans many of them are very happy that you stuck with it didn't listen to that advice this is why this is hard on twitter who writes. music really gets me high and her musical development is fascinating starting from arabic acoustic and simple covers to electronic music and then mixing all. although john rose in the last step which is clear in her latest album her lyrics are liberal anti dictatorship and social suffering i'm guessing he means that they reference all of those topics talk to us about your early music especially this part about being anti dictatorship liberal. again social suffering. i like entire dictatorship because besides the political side of it i really wanted to fight against any kind of dictatorship the

social dictatorship the traditions the the way that i'm supposed to behave as a young arab woman. so i really try to fight against all of this you know not have rules push all the boundaries and just don't have any limit but the sky. so i think i also was lucky because my father likes music and he plays a lot of vinyls at home since i was a child and he wakes up every sunday morning with 4 seasons from vivaldi's so my ear disorder. so my ears have had a very good education and also encourages a lot to read so i came out to be like somebody with. a good mind you know i want you to your honest reaction king if i say 2 words to you can t.

. what do you think will be honest well your word is free. so that's the new translation yes. that's so it's a magical song i was just talking about it in another interview this morning the way just came to the world the way i compose the music for the lyrics of my friend i mean. and honestly every time i sing that song i just feel the same emotions in the seam you know even when i watch to that to this day when i watch the video at the novella. but at the same time i feel like what if that song didn't come and what if that moment didn't happen what if i wasn't i haven't been known for the wouldn't might have maybe my artistic path to be easier maybe i would've you know be the person i am today but easier because i feel now there's

a lot of rejection for what i'm trying to bring. music industry's side because of the things because the public silliness a very specific way let me take them back to that moment which they have reminisced about often and so this was back in 2011 this was during the jasmine revolution in tunisia and m.l. found herself in the crowd she was there as the revolution was happening and her contribution well she went and sat and then that song took to the nobel peace prize concert from the streets to the concert and it's huge have a look. was . 7 was.

was. i so. a 6 to ordinary and now you're trying to get away from that and move on new album that back oh there it is and now bring us out to the present. so in a moment it will perform better which is one of the songs in the present from her new album but 1st i want you to have a listen to a video comment from fake he is a super fan. my name is carlos from cushman i believe that there's always been a melancholy dawn to the males music singing continues to give it as a stones on your diction

a new domain knowledge easy for me personally i have become a huge fan of ever since a heard of for the 1st time in hospital before and for the 2015 will be spaced so many the songs that she sang that have a meaning extra memory. because the because the was an exact impression of political and social solutions back home in kashmir.

love love. love. the subject.

love. love. the elite

0 . do not adjust your screens this is out as they are this is the stream that was. on keyboards we have just stand and we have the m.l. come and join us back a on the sex. people love that in our youtube chat a lot of symbols of fire there and this is a tweet we got from salvador who says what i love about this new album is how it beautifully merges lyrically sonically and vocally it's a trifecta that feels like it travels to the core and invokes the spirit it's personal yet outwardly great and i wish that music was that you there from salvador

but i want to pivot just a little bit to this and talking about your latest album this is tasso twitter who says i'm still curious about the red sea designed for her tour and the overall a static shift to the color red that i've noticed from her recently does it is there a symbol behind it and of course while you're performing the studio we're surrounded by flames here playing off of your album color talk to us about the inspiration for that all thank you for that. well the red is definitely a color that was. very symbolic for me throughout my career and it's a color that has always been present in my. repertoire or in my wardrobe. i just feel like my if i would give a color to my music in general i would give that red color you know for its you know depth for. the crew sheltie we can say that for the.

the the warmth. the feelings. i feel like all of that is connected in this specially this album because of course there's a hint to revolution you know there has been a revolution but this isn't like a feelings revolution where i'm trying to revive. our humanity our empathy and revive our attention in our sensitivity to our values and our senses i'm going to carry on with the theme of read i'm looking at your instagram account which is very striking and has a picture of you in a red dress and the commentary from you says back when i used to play guitar and sing better with a red rose in my head but you'll musical jenny from then until now how would you describe it while you right now. i think i am where i'm trying

to cut up with myself with my true self i think we're not a when we're born we're not exactly ourselves and we try to reach to the most honest expression of ourselves and i've been trying to find that throughout my musical experimentations and i feel with this album i'm really i'm really there i mean i'm probably still going to search deeper and deeper but. i of course like that was back when i used to live in tunisia there was a different environment political and social except and after that i lived a few years and friends i travelled i toured and i composed made different albums so i feel a little bit less of. a rebel but now i feel like i matured into a warrior and. i think part of coming into the person you're supposed to be

for you based on what people are telling us online is the languages that you use for your songs of course you know at least trilingual right arabic english friends who wore the 5 so if i we're going to so our audience picked up on that i want to play a video comment from someone who talks about that this is a lecturer in the air but program at stanford university here in the u.s. and here's what he asked. i would like to congratulate. chasse tracks both. arabic my question is does it feel different toward your record your own target arabic that it does what you recorded or fred which if so. so when i started to sing in my 1st. passion started by covering other artists and it was

mostly in english so english actually is my musical mother to mother mother language and then i found like my persona with writing about tunisia in tunisian lyrics except her and i have always been a little bit nostalgic to the period where i was in the middle bin i feel like rock music and metal has always been a little bit present and i've been looking forward to make an album in english but i didn't want to do it until i really feel like it's me in that i'm not copying anybody else and that i'm creating a new sound just not not just sing in english like sing in english but with the same passion and the same depth that i do the arabic exactly so when you compose the lyrics composing is it when you write the lyrics are you writing them in our bit. what language comes out when you put a poem put

a lyric down so it used to be i used to write in arabic for the last many years and for this album i really felt like i was ready to write in english so i actually started by writing 2 songs in arabic and then i switched to writing in english so this time around i really did myself with my favorite. poets i had 3 different poets i got inspiration from. and at the same time i started writing my own but i started writing in english not not like translate yet because i really didn't want to sound like somebody who doesn't speak english or somebody who's going to just use english easiness you know yes some very easy vocabulary i wanted to be also different intellectual. so i met you tweet at this not too long ago and i'll share it with our audience of course you know what you tweeted it's hard to be . and a musician from an arab country who transcends john runs in the west because most

of the times we're forced to choose between stereotypes this representation or utter invisibility that is why your support is crucial for me to be keep being who i am so keeping that in mind we've got a lot of responses underneath that tweet or someone on you to cross the question that's slightly related this is a little bit rainy who's watching live right now elizabeth says what advice do you have for other people who want to push their passion despite others warning them not to and i'll add to that despite others wanting to put them in a box and categorize them. i think the most important thing is to truly believe in yourself because that's the 1st step to impose your your aren't in your passion and yourself to the world because especially for us arabs or even arabs but anybody who is not born in europe or north america the path is necessarily harder because we're always expected to be carrying the flag of our

country of our ethnicity or of our politics in. were always offering this very exotic you know politic very boiling so as sight from that we're not expected to be carrying. guard to be pioneers to be innovating and i find it like super frustrating in super unfair so the. 2 fight that you just have to be yourself and keep pushing and keep breaking in the definitions that are there for you i try to not be discouraged even though like every time especially since i moved to the u.s. and i'm getting bookings and i go and perform and i'm very happy to go perform anywhere any time except that most of the time is like the theme of this year is muslim women voices theme of this year islamic art which is i'm very proud of

and it's part of my cultural identity but sometimes i just want to be invited because i have a beautiful voice for example. you are. probably one of the most famous musical artists in tunisia how comfortable are you knowing that. so comfortable and not comfortable because well comfortable of course because tunisia is where i was born and raised in it's the country that i love that made me who i am but. uncomfortable is because also i am somebody who is because i am an artist and a humanist i feel like i don't want to belong to one place and one place only i will i don't want to be defined by one single identity and i mean i love communities but at the same time i want to break away you know i want to be friends from people who have nothing to do with tunisia or with you know sometimes it's

just like humans to humans you know and especially that's why i do music because i want to speak to anybody. i think you're doing just that here thank you so much that's all the time we have for this part of the interview if you're in washington d.c. you can see i mean live in concert tonight she then play several dates in europe over the next 3 weeks now as she gets ready to play footsteps from her new album here's a video comment from. a fan from yemen in new york. and it was about the band and i'm a political consultant to new york city. i organize the evan you haven't evolved. do not watch a season and the 1st time that i was introduced to a man. was doing her performance in 2015 at the nobel peace prize ceremony and i was just blown away she performed committee her up

and for someone that has been organizing an 'd. you know advocate for the every muslim community in the united states ever since i could remember that song really hit home she's brilliant she's amazing.

i see. my fast simmons was. taken by the chinese government all over the state with most sound stay with my wife and so on this is really where human rights abuses of our time we decided to talk about it. just. tell the world.

the truth about china systematic repression of the week is. tell the world coming soon on al-jazeera one of the really special things that working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for it as you know very trying to live in it but to give because you have a lot of people that if i did. political issues really are we the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended used to do we were individualism we don't feel inferior we're good audience across the globe. examining the to today's headlines there are protests like this one that are trying to discern and we forested areas that have been already devastated the setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussion you've been out there with the protesters on the streets where we've been telling you international filmmakers are world class journalists

bring programs to improve unspot. on al-jazeera. a chance for reunion after decades of separation caused by a war. one i want to use joins a mother's jude to reunite with the son she lost more than 60 years ago in the korean war on al-jazeera. allied again on the fire service syria's border territory the u.s. and turkey announced a pause in the offensive against kurdish fighters. and this is al jazeera live from also coming up.

thousands call for lebanon's government to step down as new attacks balance problems some of the biggest protests in the year of. gun battles and burning roadblocks in mexico as security forces try to capture the son of an notorious struggle. and after a 7 month. the remains of some here playing air crash victims are finally returned to their families from carol. in the united states have reached a deal to halt the offensive in northeast syria it was the great after u.s. vice president mike pence travel to takis capital for talks with president. cut his fight as of now been given 5 days to withdraw from the region by attack he wants to enforce that so-called safe so i can sit and begins our coverage from ankara which

president. then he came with an ultimatum and left with a deal a cease fire in arms for noise in syria by the u.s. and turkey after hours of talks among the do you know how pink touched up the relations between the made to allies that have been tested by turkey's military operation against the wife e.g. turkey seems to suing her despite to group a terrorist organization the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. the turkish side will pause operation peace bring. in order to allow for the withdrawal of why p.g. forces from the safe zone. for 120 hours all military operations under operation peace spring would be pause in operation the spring will

be halted entirely on completion of the withdrawal. the agreement promises collection of y p g have of the prince and the disabling of their fortifications and all other fighting positions they will have to withdraw from in a reactor that is 32 kilometers deep expected to eventually become a safe zone that turkey has sowed for months the us is still committed to cooperate with the syrian democratic forces made up mainly of kurdish why p.g. even though they're no longer aiding them militarily and the ceasefire means it will not impose sanctions on turkey very happy to report tremendous success with respect to turkey and i want to thank president everyone i want to thank our vice president my parents our secretary of state by capell great job all of the people that we sent over the last 3 days we said did early group this is an amazing

outcome this is an outcome regardless of how the press would like to damp it down this was something that they've been trying to get for 10 years you would lost millions and millions of lives they couldn't get it without a little rough love as i call them. turkey also believes it's got what it wanted a safe zone that will be primarily enforced by the turkish army and increased cooperation by the 2 sides in ensuring the deal sticks at this case. we will not stop the operation yet but we will put it on hold because a cease fire can only be agreed between 2 sovereign states terrorists who are the target of our nation so we are putting it on hold to allow these terrorist organizations to withdraw from the area once they leave the area and completely withdraw then we will stop our operation to go. socialists turkey have given no commitments on what will happen to kabbani but pence said there has been no turkish

military action against the town which has been under control of the y. p.g. for some years syrian democratic forces led by the kurdish fighter group y peachey said they would abide by the cease fire if but would not with throw despite the agreement within turkey and the u.s. it is still unclear exactly how things will unfold on the ground as the u.s. pulls out from syria russia continues to fill the vacuum and the syrian government finds the brokered deal fake and with the wife gauging with the syrian government and russia there may be many new questions i had seen them because so little al-jazeera. and then a caller has more from santa that's near techies border with syria. turkey is calling this a win in the words of the foreign minister we got what we wanted and turkey got what it wanted because it conditioned a cease fire to a withdrawal of the kurdish led syrian democratic forces and of course the united

states guaranteeing that turkey can create a safe zone this is what could turkey wanted to do create this zone in order for millions of refugees to return but it's not just that what happened is that these 2 countries nato allies have now restored their alliance a 7 decade old alliance before the arrival of the high level u.s. delegation to ankara relations were at an all time low now we heard the u.s. vice president call turkey an ally describe the relationship strong what this means for turkey is it is has been empowered it gives it a stronger bargaining position when the turkish president meets his russian counterpart in sochi next week russia of course a main power broker in syria russia criticizing turkey's military operation in syria in fact it has deployed its military police along front lines in the north east of the country filling the vacuum following the withdrawal of the u.s. military and basically telling turkey you cannot advance any further what russia

wanted from turkey is pull out a military pull out from northern syria altogether and put in wanted or to go on to reach some sort of a security arrangement with the syrian government security arrangements that will allow the syrian government to return to the border so now erdogan meets cotton stronger every time the relationship between turkey and the united states goes sour russia uses this as an advantage but this ceasefire deal if it holds will stop the violence in the short term but it is not a solution in the long term because damascus is making it clear that it now considers a safe zone that turkey will create an occupied territory and. the syrian democratic forces the kurdish if they're saying yes we will comply with the cease fire we will withdraw but only from the area between the syrian border towns of. which means that the s.d.f. will continue to be an enemy of turkey and the front lines around that safe zone
