iran of having links with al qaeda even allowing the group to set up its own base there. is absolutely ridiculous this is causing tremendous anger and speaking for the 1st time in days donald trump lambastes democrats for their efforts to force him from office. to do we begin to address the fact that mothers and children in these films have a voice and that should be heard an investigation into a dark moment in irish history reveals 9000 infants died in the so called mother and baby home this. morning upon the people who come out in large numbers for this using battle. and uganda's opposition front runner bobby why no just supporters to turn out in defiance him a dietitian in contentious elections. i'm demonstrate the spores sneezes meeting then patriots and. declines that president trumps off

a medal of freedom. well not a busy day in why. we're starting with the u.s. secretary of state might bump aoe who gave a speech saying al qaida has now established a new home base in iran he made that assertion without providing any hard evidence in what appeared to be a last minute offensive against teheran and the rest of the trumpet ministration prepare to leave office in washington he also said he could confirm the death of al qaeda as abu mohammed omar strange it was reported last year a master who was gunned down by israeli operatives in iran but was never confirmed . qaeda has a new home base it is the islamic republic of iran as a result but a large wicked creation is poised to gain strength and capabilities we ignore this

iran or qaeda nexus at our own peril we need to acknowledge it we must confront it indeed we must defeat it here we go to washington now with alan fischer is that the white house today alan take us through a little more of what secretary powell said. well what's interesting is that the relations between iran and the united states have been very tense since the don't trump walked into the oval office you remember that during the 2016 campaign he said that in his 1st the in the oval office he would make sure that the united states pulled out of the iran nuclear deal he couldn't do that immediately he resigned on a couple of times and then said no we're done that was back in 20000 since then tensions have been very tight between tehran and washington d.c. culminating perhaps some would see in the assassination in january last year of

kusum cilla money the head of the part of the revolutionary guard he of course was taken by a drone as you drove to baghdad airport that was a big victory as far as the united states was concerned certainly might pompeo is hammered away at the maximum pressure a campaign that has earmarked relations between the united states and tara and so once the pulled out of the iran nuclear deal they stuck to to impose heavy sanctions they wanted the other signatories to follow along the didn't that upset pompeo and others who have been trying to push them to make sure that iran essentially is choctaw from the international money markets can't export oil essentially struggles in everyday life and now he's suggesting not for the 1st time that there is a link between al qaeda and terror and actually to ferret to 911 saying that that was the telling point that shows that the links between the 2 go back some way and while there is no evidence around helped plan or head for knowledge of the 911

attacks at least 8 of the 911 hijackers traveled through iran between october of 2000 and february of 2001 deed in 2011 a federal judge in new york ruled that iran had provided support for the 911 attacks based on the role it played in furthering a kind operatives plans. and of course after $911.00 hundreds of our kind of terrorists in their families fleeing america's righteous vengeance took refuge there inside of iran they have been financial links between al qaeda and terror and suggested by the americans in the past in fact suggested by the previous administration barack obama and joe biden but many of the claims that might pompey or has made in the past hadn't really produced any real evidence to back it up in fact there was a report from an influential think tank here in washington at the end of 21000 said if there where senior members of al qaeda in tehran then they were probably no more

than 4 or 5 semele might pompeo is very keen to push ahead with the idea of maximum pressure he'd hate to see that suddenly eased off when he leaves office in 8 days time and those close to joe biden see that's exactly the intention here he's doing this to make sure it is much more difficult for joe biden to reengage with iran when he takes over on january the 20th thank you alan fischer reporting from the white house how have the iranians reacted well here's a tweet from the foreign minister john howard zarif i won't read it all out but he does talk about fictitious state classifications al qaeda claims war mongering lies the bottom line there no one's fulls all 911 terrorists came from secretary pompei as favorite middle east destinations non from iran more on that reaction with dosage of barry in teheran. the position here is that these are seen as and that really desperate attempts in the final days of the trump administration to try and

really further destabilize this region and that's something that they have not been successful in doing the spike the numerous efforts that they've undertaken over the past 4 years but what was significant about the specifics beach by the secretary of state was that he drew the links between these 2 between these 2 groups iran and al qaeda when the very very different ideologies they have very different goals and iran has said in the past that these claims are simply false when it came to the assassination of the so-called al-qaeda leader on the streets of tehran in august the foreign minister zarif said in the past recently that you know those president like joe biden from his years of being a diplomat the reigning. representative to the united nations. had met joe biden

on a number of occasions wylder of both working at the united nations so they do have some kind of a history and he said that he believes joe biden to be much more well versed in foreign policy and understands foreign politics much better than donald trump so there is a sense of optimism that the 6 months that this ronnie administration has left there could be some kind of. easing of tensions at least before iran has its next presidential elections so we're just hoping for the best at this stage but this latest claims are going to be completely dismissed by iran and seen as very ridiculous at this stage. trita parsi is with us now executive vice president of the quincy institute from washington d.c. trader nice to have you with us and it is no surprise i guess bad that secretary pompei wants to focus on iran it has been a focus of the state departments and it's day one however the fact that he went to

such specifics about individuals and sanctions alike and didn't really seem to back any of it up with actually any hard evidence or that is his modus operandi if there are as many lies as possible makes it really difficult for people to sort through what is lie and what is true i think we have seen now that the priority for trump instruction for compañero has not been either if it had been they would have gone after those who are funding it which includes individuals as saudi arabia instead is that a stray she has shielded saudi arabia they would not have supported the war in yemen mindful of the fact that the u.s. intelligence pointed out that it was the who these that was the main force against al qaida instead the trumpet mistreated has been fighting the hooty the priority for this assertion the focus of this administration has been this obsession with war with iraq and this appears to be a last ditch effort either to create a more cause especially against iran by saying that because they're hosting

a kind of she does approve of course that this wouldn't justify a military attack against iraq or to admin and want any ability for the by the ministration to undo d.m.'s that pump a real entrant has created in the u.s. see our relations this idea that there could have a base in iran that absolutely any chance of something like that. well if there was any evidence for such a thing why would pump it away till now 8 days before he supposed to leave office to come up with michael of the fact that this administration has been trying to crush iraq for the last 4 years if there was any evidence whatsoever they would have rolled that out very quickly and very early in order to further justify the maximum pressure campaign against iraq they did the fact that they're choosing to do so right now knowing very well that they're going to have to leave the white house in the state department

a couple of days no one very well and biden is going to go back into a nuclear deal with iran it seems to be much more plausible that this is based on their desire to undermine diplomacy rather any facts that is underpinning their claims what's all this doing with regards to the next administration. correspondent was saying earlier how jovan serif and joe biden have something of a relationship they will probably actually be able to work together do you think the by the ministrations concerned about where this is taking things. i think about it research and should be concerned about that that image that both the trump compeer team is doing right now to their prospects of diplomacy not just with iran that this ignition of the who tease yesterday's another blow to any chance of being able to find a political settlement and yet again aimed at making it more difficult for the by administration i think by going astray she needs to come in and in rather ruthlessly undo all of these measures that counter u.s.

interests and that has been put into place by a truck solely for the purpose of undermining by this ability to pursue diplomacy and find a peaceful path for the region that's trita parsi joining us from washington today thank you for vats thank you for having me. and now and bashar a senior political analyst here and. i've just been reading now one that secretary powell has cancelled what would have been his last trip as secretary of state was supposed to go to brussels apparently but won't be taking that trip anyway and so his final big speech will probably end up being this 11 where he makes a pretty outlandish claim with nothing to back it up yes i think just has been. the norm in the trunk and mission over the last 5 years. but i think we've seen more and more of it over the last 2

months and it's the idea of the spectacle they keep making spectacles one spectacle after another yesterday it was the spectacle up but of the whole fees being terrorists today dyspeptic girl. terrorist organization and that there are sponsoring state of iran. a week or 2 before that it was the spectacle of religious quiet not at the. cute kid. in countries that are not friendly to the united states of course in the meanwhile we have a whole bunch of other spectacles going on in washington some of the top administration work like to turn the page on some it would like to underline what it has being come out and so many ways and most administrations of spectacles they just keep sleeping in fast paced from one spectacle to another it's almost getting all of us

in the media quite busy so i who commented yesterday about why you suddenly out of the blue 2nd to pump a you is designating the healthy as a terrorist organization with huge humanitarian and political implications for yemen and for the coming by the un this station today suddenly he makes this vast experience. as says without any hard evidence about al qaida in iran as your guest said earlier it's certainly a way to complicate abided policy towards iran but it's sort of it's certainly another way as well of taking the heat off the thrum administration that is excessive accused of domestic terrorism last wednesday. column i'm sorry i have to

interrupt you there way going to listen to chuck shane the senate minority leader speaking on events in washington with the gods and 25th amendment hold on. they were on airplanes and some were arrested when they arrived at airports one person was arrested as far away as hawaii and there are many examples of travel and we have seen online in the authorities have seen online desires to come back to washington and to go to other places to cause more trouble and more violence. 2 and there are many examples of this kind of travel. there are many examples of this kind of travel so here we are today and we are concerned about these people getting back on airplanes and doing more violence and so he today ahead of a concern for the head of the concern for possible future attacks and with the law

on our side we are to say that these insurrectionists many of whom are known to be at large should not be able to hop on a flight we are today we are here today because the folks the people the insurrectionists who breach the u.s. capitol fall under the definition of threats to the homeland and should be a mediately added to the t.s.a. no fly list we are calling on the authorities the f.b.i. the t.s.a. any of those who are inside the capitol should be placed on the no fly list and not feel out to fly. far. far.

and any of the most of those any of those who are inside the capitol. should not be able to fly and should be placed on the no fly list we are calling on the authorities f.b.i. t.s.a. department of homeland security to put them on the no fly list immediately. amidst the continued threat of future violence online the federal government's own concerns i spoke to director ray about this twice in the last few days we cannot allow the same insurrectionists to get on a plane and cause more violence and more damage these individuals are threat to the homeland as defined by the law the law allows this and they should be

placed on the no fly list look the attack on our capital remains under active investigation the situation has many concerned about the possibility of another attack or attacks and rightfully so i'm continuing to be briefed on an almost daily basis as recently as last night by law enforcement to one ask them what their threat assessments are to to make sure they're going after every person who was inside that building. and 3 to do everything they can to prevent any future attacks like the one that occurred in the capital. so. if these insurrectionists are not prosecuted to the bullets extent of the law their pledges to disrupt and incite further violence

could. occur again. the law says that absent terror that like those perpetrated by the people who won lawfully and violently breached the capital must be considered threats to the homeland once you're considered a threat to the homeland you should and must be placed on the no fly list plain and simple threats to violence cannot be allowed to fly and neither can these individuals let me give you a little more background many of the individuals who were part of the attack last week as i said remain at large are wanted for questioning violent acts and more the founding member of the proud boys hawaii was arrested last thursday accused of unlawful entry into the u.s. capitol building captured an airport in hawaii according to the times the justice

department and the f.b.i. have been barked on a nationwide manhunt to track down spores of people and now it's even larger who have attacked the capital with so many questions about safety and the worry about future possible threats the least we can do is make the skies the inauguration the capital and the country safer and that's what i'm asking be done today now. i'm going to go to 2 other subjects. first what president trump said this morning showing how despicable a president he is he blamed the violence that he helped cause on others he blamed the divisiveness that he regularly caused on others he blamed so much on others. to this

what trump did today blaming others for what he caused is a pathological technique used by the worst of dictators from causes the anger he causes divide the divisiveness the foments the violence and blames others for it that is despicable. the technique trump is using is used by the worst dictators the globe has ever seen donald trump should not hold office one day longer and what we saw in his statements today is proof positive of that if you need if you need any further proof which i did as i said if he won't resign and vice president pence in the cabinet won't invoke the 25th amendment he will be impeached by the house and as the law requires tried by the senate ok now about the senate trial. so leader mcconnell is saying he can call the senate back.

after the house votes for impeachment because it requires unanimous consent the consent of every senator that's not true there was legislation passed in 2004 that allows the senate minority leader and majority leader to jointly to reconvene the senate in times of emergency. this is a time of emergency. mcconnell claims he needs unanimous consent the agreement of all 100 senators but it's not so. i then asked him to call the senate back all he needs is my agreement i'm still minority leader and his agreement he's majority leader we could come back a.s.a.p. . and vote to convict donald trump and get him out of office now before any further

damage is done. the legislation that passed in 2004 puts a dagger through the heart of this idea that you need unanimous consent for every senator to call back the office. oh. well i like that i have i think but. i think that. you will get the i think. the 0. 0000. 0 ok. by the ball sack of flour i think and i think that there was a. scene of the and i was. the

guy. that can be the. head of the oh the hot. seat on the plane i will. pick up a lot of the the fact that the whole top of the line of the book the. basis for the. such chuck schumer senate minority leader as he is still being interrupted on the streets of new york clear as he spoke to the media come quite make out what this lady is saying but. she's pretty animated about the whole thing chuck schumer you heard him talk about what president trump said earlier today was talking about things being totally despicable and what donald trump said have a listen we've got a couple of clips here which will give you a bit of background as to what while it will be what donald trump was saying about

the incitement and the impeachment. thing many people have done. both in the paper in the media on television. that what i said was totally appropriate. it's really a continuation of the greatest which is your politics it's ridiculous it's absolutely ridiculous this impeachment is causing tremendous anger and you're doing it and it's really a general thing that they're doing. just to continue this i think it's a good thing for many days to our country and it's causing tremendous anger i want to know by. how does your house or on capitol hill for us heidi that 2nd clip we played i said this you a little early it's kind of greatest hits' stuff isn't it greatest witch hunting

terrible all the sort of things we've heard from donald trump a year ago actually but earlier when he said what heat that what he said to the crowd at the white house before the riot was totally appropriate. that's what chuck schumer is getting upset about. that's right because schumer and other democrats are moving toward a fast removal of trauma from office they're saying that even with just 8 days left on the clock before trump's term ends that each day the president is a danger to the country and as you heard from chuck schumer the democratic minority leader of the senate he says that those words of incitement continue to be a threat schumer was saying that those who stormed the capitol on wednesday of last week and were allowed to leave have been have been caught saying that they actually are planning to return to the capitol and that armed protests both here and across

the country are planned leading to the inauguration and you heard schumer just make a call out to national security to the f.b.i. saying that everyone who had entered breech the capitol building should be put on the f.b.i. no fly list so that they may be prevented from returning here to wreak more violence all of this of course happening with the backdrop of congress indeed racing toward a likely 2nd impeachment of president trump the house of representatives is preparing for a significant vote on that tomorrow if democrats unite as they signify they will they have the numbers joined by possibly a handful of republicans up to a dozen members they will have the votes to impeach president trump for the 2nd time that's never happened before in u.s. history and you certainly heard trump on the defense there in his remarks outside

of the white house the 1st time really seen in public speaking with reporters since the violence of a week ago claiming that his words at the rally that directly 1st ceded the mob violence here he said that those words were appropriate even though there he is on record on camera telling his thousands of supporters to march to the capitol to try to overturn the results of the election thank you with that update from capitol hill. very pleased to welcome henry olson to the news out senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center a conservative think tank he's in alexandria virginia for us today i almost don't know where to start henry because as ever there is too much going on once but let's 1st of all deal with well what heidi was talking about there what the president said he it's that classic trump scenario of saying something like i don't want it to be violence i never want it to be violence but and he still has to say that his

comments were totally appropriate look the president is a disaster and the president has lost touch with reality with respect to the election months ago he continues to persist in his fantasy world and that is the reality that the existing republican party needs to face i personally think that he should be impeached and removed from office i think that the republican party needs to as much as possible educate its voters over the ensuing months as to why the president deluded himself and misled them but it's quite clear that the president has no remorse and also no understanding of what he's done and what he continues to do is there not an inherent risk going down this path politically it seems more people want him impeached this time because of what happened on january 6th but also i think if he does get impeached all those people who we did see a protest on january 6th you can just imagine them becoming even more enraged well

he certainly it certainly does not help if there is not in active. republican after to speak and explain it can't simply be a couple of people say i'm going along with the democrats but then they won't take the offensive using the extensive conservative media network that exists to make the case why the president is fundamentally wrong about the nature of the election that's the nub here is that people have been radicalized because they believe democracy was stolen they believe that because the president has told them that republicans have or that they can be passive and let passive resistance work and until the riaa until the insurrection they were right now they have to be active if they want to rebuild a conservative party they need to confront the lies head on and kate the risks but will those people listen again i keep coming back to the level of anger we saw

and the lengths which some people were willing to go 3 go to on generous and they and they talk about the potential for more riots and more violence in the lead up to the inauguration and even on inauguration day have republican politicians got enough in them to actually convince those. maggots support as if we want to call them that that there is another way. one i see no option other than that they try 2nd card in a p.b.s. marriage that came out that only 18 percent of republicans supported the breaching of the capitol and most republicans who believe that the election was stolen have never heard anyone on their side make the contrary argument most republican voters are not crazy most republican voters believe what they believe because they've been told what they believe by people who they trust they need people to come out and

make details quiet argument that says their president or i took them and was aided and abetted by sycophants who continue to lie i don't know if it can succeed but i hope and pray that it can and who are the people who they let's let's think about some actual players within the republican party who can or could step up because there is a fear i guess that if they don't then the republican party will remain the policy of trump for another 4 years and it could be even in opposition just as destructive . the most obvious person would be president pams once he's no longer vice president explaining why he acted as he did when he was vice president but taking the position that now that he's no longer in some way constitutionally tied to another person he will speak is true might a 2nd person as senate majority leader and leader mcconnell he spoke out very

forcefully on the senate floor he is used to playing behind the scenes but he is the most prominent non pence figure in the republican party and he can call on his loyal confirmation of judges and so forth to say i worked with this president where we could work together but here's what you need to know about the election both with so themselves that political risk but the fact is they are exposed to political risk if they don't act and in fact they would likely be swamped by super mag ites if they do not actually defend the positions they know in their heart in their ad are true henry olsen a pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us today thank you for having me on good stuff let's wrap it together again with now and a shower who's stuck around us ania political analyst mo when you would have heard what henry was talking about there the need for republicans to stand up and be counted whether it be in the congress now in these committee hearings or just

speaking out in the future what are your thoughts on whether they actually will do that and where they will make an impact. you know as one commented today. it's probably could split in between the rhinos and the patriots meaning that it publican party what we have today is an increasing polarization between traditional liberal republicans on the one hand and a sort of a tea party troll tromp libertarians and white nationalists on the others and i think that split has increased has widened over the past week since trump overplayed his hands and since some of those republican senators and congressmen and women wear themselves threatened by the mob that stormed congress and and run havoc it's holes so i can see more and more of the strains

within that it public and parties and this could in fact. escalate and deepen further after trump leaves office but when i don't i don't want to be too overdramatic about this but there's sort of an existential question here about can america recover from this america's been through a lot in the past 911 watergate iraq we can go through any number of things and it generally bounces back but then i just something does start to feel different this time but there is been some sort of fundamental shift in certainly the reaction to political divisions. i'm glad you mentioned some of those examples and we can go back further in history and we can go back further in history when an american president was shot when an american president was assassinated and. we can go back in in history when. you know tens of thousands of americans died in

a war like for example the vietnam war you know we can go back in history and we can see many examples of crises within the american democracy and let me assure you kemal that by nature democracy 5 is on crisis democracy is not addicted to ship democracy by nature would have debates sometimes go out of hand but in this many particular case we do have a problem since at least last wednesday one could argue that we've had for the last 45 years and even longer but certainly since once there we have had a stark example of the executive branch of government blackmailing warning threatening and acting against the legislative branch of government that is an assault on the constitution and on the separation of power in the united states and hence it is according to many republicans and democrats impeachable whether it

will happen or not. it's almost beside the point at this time why because i think we have 3 level sort of problems and i would be very short novel number one is that the nation under len thing walking talking circus called donald trump but he'll be leaving office within 8 days and his spot hours going to be reduced dramatically once he's no longer president that problem being pushed sued by vs by various prosecutors in new york and elsewhere in the country and then that is the 2nd level and that's his immediate followers the proud borys the white nationalists very enthusiastic event jenna cause it was also word that small group of people that some of it short up in washington those are going to witness the long arm of the federal government and the f.b.i. and as we heard from chuck schumer earlier they each and every one of them is going

to be pursuing that each and every one of them is going to be punished and each and every one of them probably going to end up in jail and so on so forth and then there's the 3rd which i consider the more important love and that is the $75000000.00 who voted for donald trump after 40 years of trump and after a year when more than 350000 americans died this is the biggest challenge for america both for the republican leadership and for the democratic leadership but notably for president elect biden how would he and how would he bridge with the 75000000 who want to rule don't trump that is the big question because most of these people are not deplorable zz most of the most most of these people are not necessarily. not all minded white nationality. racists have you a lot of them voted for the on top either because they dislike the other party so much or because they think some of the ideas economic especially presented by the

republicans are more interesting. and i think the ending with them and in the coming years is going to be key and dealing with them wisely will ensure that the american democracy continues to thrive. one quick final word from you on iran because that's actually what we were talking to you about earlier before we went to hear from chuck schumer this from secretary much saying that iran or that al qaeda or i should say has set up its new home base in iran and he announced a lot of specific things to do with sanctions to do with people who have been killed all without a lot of evidence we have to say. just your thoughts on that idea that al qaeda and iran could be linked because my point they are saying it pretty loudly and there are people who will believe that. you know i wouldn't have been surprised over the last 20 years if at one point or another some links were found for

some. you know idea that both of them find the united states to be their enemy and maybe you know one member of. osama bin laden's family gone or some envoys from to iran to afghanistan and that up meeting up with i don't know right but what i know for sure is the following whether there is or isn't. look i don't think ron there was no proof of it provided by secular for you to this is the sort of thing you till this is sort of thing that happens in the foundation between a trump administration and a by the only restriction this is this sort of thing that on paper team wouldn't be conveying to that biden team this is the sort of thing that happens in the transition team this is not the kind of thing that you tell from you know from the loud podium of the national press building when you do that the idea then is not

helping the by the administration it's come to the complicating the job the by don't miss it is not serving america policy it's in fact weakening american foreign policy for weakening the end of the coming president it is very divisive it is very limited very limited in scope and very short sighted on the part of 2nd. to continue to complicate the life of the by the administration and to him and to muddy the waters with iran when it's only 8 days when he is out from the administration barbara starr will talk to you a lot over the next 8 days i'm sure and beyond our senior political analyst here in the. donald trump we saw him speaking earlier that was just as he was heading to texas where he will be talking about his border war with mexico remember the one he had promised to make mexico pay for of course that hasn't happened in fact only a small amount of the new border fence has even been constructed but trump has been

able to do something else has turned mexico into a tough obstacle for central americans trying to get through to the united states as reporters and john heilemann. this was the promise we will build a great wallow in the southern border he has got anywhere near finishing. with those what she migration to mexico she president trumps done something else instead turned the country itself into his will. 2019 he threatened terrorists in mexico didn't tighten its southern border so the country put its newly formed national guard on the banks of the river with what a mile or toughened up its checkpoints so that those from neighboring countries couldn't get through the research a dramatic decrease arrivals at the border as a result. crackdown increased enforcement in mexico it was so hard to travel through mexico 'd at certain point but you also saw

a lot of people requesting asylum in mexico mexico also agreed that migrants asking for asylum in the u.s. could be dropped across the border to wait here while the request was processed some was stuck in places like this camp for months others went home perhaps all of this wasn't as appealing as the big beautiful will but it did have an impact after the number of boy brits u.s. border been soaring they were right back down and interestingly it wasn't the 1st time that u.s. or tried this in 2014 president obama's administration had urged me it's going to get tougher on migration to after an uptick in children showing up at the border both clampdowns have had side effects. it's. me that there isn't it means that migration routes will become even more challenging which means more terror kidnapping and rapes it's more expensive to get through with the smuggling industry and violence towards migrants has worsened both from authorities and organized

crime. from its coast securing its southern border also meant siphoning off thousands of the national guard which just being created especially to stop the country's record violence. and now after a lot helped along by the pandemic migrant numbers are rising again that's an issue for incoming president joe biden now he's already said he rolled back some of trump's toughest migration policies but he won't want russia look who are either john home and al-jazeera exclusively. armin's government will issue a formal apology to people who lived in the country so called mother and baby our report was released on tuesday it shows 9000 children died in these church run homes between 122 in 1908 harlan's children's minister roderick ago and has described the abuse residents faced as stifling oppressive and brutally massage in

a state of facilities housed unmarried pregnant women they received state funding and also acted as adoption agencies for children who were born out of wedlock it's an extraordinary story we're going to talk to susan low in about a co-founder of adoption rights alliance on skype from dublin today i think a lot of our viewers susan are probably not going to know anything about the story and that's part of the issue isn't it that this was kept hidden and now we just see this extraordinary number of what i say 9000 children between 120 to 1980. that's rising and in fact that's not the full picture cannot be cars the commission of investigation only looks at a very small sample of the sashing is where unmarried mothers had their children taken from and where those non-marital children were taken for forced adoption or for trafficking to the us at the commission hasn't even begun to low caste and
