the, the, [000:00:00;00] the donald trump and takes the oath of office as the 47th president of the united states, announcing a series of controversial actions. all illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places for which they came. we will reinstate my. remain in mexico policy.

the you're watching else is 0. i'm sort of a live in washington dc and on top of the cry live in our house. so coming up, thousands of palestinians and guns return to what is left of their homes. on the 2nd day of us, the spot deal between israel and from us is a scramble. fight is more trucks into guns or is part of the deal, but it's not nearly enough. and family search for the police have been loved, ones buried under the rubble of more than $100.00 has now been found. the new era has begun in the united states with donald trump at the helm. trump has been sworn. it has be $47.00, president of the united states,

marketing and historic return to the white house, preserved protect, and defend, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. the constitution regulations is taken deals of office ushering in a new administration and an end to jo biden's presidency and has bound to begin his term with sleep executive orders and doing biden's policies and a nice thing. his own ones, top of that list is integration and the board a policy with an emergency declaration of the us southern border and a complete hall to regular crossings. donald trump is returning to the oval office, backed by a house and senate under republican control. during his address, he said he will sign a series of executive orders including an on emigration by declaring a national emergency. at the southern border.

bows is 0 is my cannot joins us now live from the white house. mike, can you run us through what donald trump is not enact thing that would be the wrong word because we're not talking about legislation, but what donald trump is signing and what becomes effectively law for the executive branch of the us government. as of today, i as well, let's be specific about what he will be signing the exact details. we're letting me know when he effectively signs them, which will be in a couple of hours time when he returns here to his new residential returns to what was his old residence. the signals have been very clear in terms of the executive board is top of the list, is the executive orders pertaining to immigration, pertaining to removing the bus right off children of people. immigrants who came into the country illegally as they can no longer become us citizens of. busy adding

to the suggested order, he's also going to remove gen, the specification from federal law as saying in his words, as of the men and women, those are the only 2 genders. this administration is going to be dealing with. but there's a host of executive orders that were expecting, including as well, a scrapping of the environmental protections that was entered by the by that administration. there's also going to be a to said positive for some of those who attempt to store the capital back in january the 6th in 2020. so they all a smu of orders that we are looking at here. uh, the exact details of them were letting me know when he actually signs. and as i said, that's going to happen in a couple of hours. but one change that's already happened here. the biden's have moved up, the trump positions are moving in significantly. the flag outside the white house is now at full stop. it had been brought to hawks stuff that to commemorate and

were on the desk of jimmy content that should have been in place for 30 days. one of the transfer sections as president is to get full flags raise to full stop on federal property a my thank you very much. let me bring in our panel, jennifer victor, who is with me professor of political science at george mason university. thank you very much. since last night you've, you've been very courageous, i have to say is minus between minus 5 and minus 10 degrees celsius here. i know we've got this on, but it's cool mark playfully. so thanks for being with us as well. thank you. so donald trump and the border, i cannot think of a politician and an issue that had been so closely connected so much intertwined over such a long period of time. right? thinking back to when donald trump analysis run for the presidency in 2016 or maybe wasn't 2015. right, right. first thing he said it was about mexican immigrants when he came into office 2016 1st thing he did, it was about the border integration,

the so called muslim band. i know it didn't work, but that's what he wanted to do, it cetera, etc. up to today, 12 years later, and that is still the 1st thing he does declare a national emergency at the southern border. and, you know, i think it's really important for us to distinguish between what is normal sort of so to say with executive actions. and what we are seeing today that is out of the ordinary, it is normal for presidents to come into office and immediately sit down and assign things that up, you know, nominates their cabinet, appointments and so forth. it is normal for presidents to come into office and to overturn the executive orders of their predecessors. we've been seeing that for, for decades. but it is not normal for presidents to come in. and you try to use executive orders to overcome the constitution or overcome existing box. executive orders can override previous executive orders from previous presidents. it cannot override the existing law passed by congress or the constitution,

such as what we are seeing suggested with the birth rate citizenship of mark. i'm sure this is ultimately going to be lost in history. i think it's already lost, but i'm just going to remind our viewers. there was a bi partisan immigration bill on the table some months ago under biden's presidency in the last year that would have empowered the president to shut down the border. exactly. what donald trump is doing today, he could have had a law allowing him to do that, but he said no, don't pass the law. i think that's correct. i also think that it's been a political football for my entire life in politics, which is quite a while and apologies the views that both democratic and republican. unfortunately, the people are stuck in the middle. are the people that are lawfully trying to attain citizenship in united states. i've been to the border. it is a mess. you've got the cartels running fentenol and other illegal activities up and down the board of human trafficking is out of control. something needs to be done, is it this type of outland ish executive order, which is really

a full employment act for many attorneys and the court in and it's not meeting what do i do? the challenge, meaning everything is going to be challenged and everything is now going to be run through the, the, the legal system, the courts, to figure out what is actually doable as far as the executive branch, giving an edict like this all when he will actually stick is unknown, i'm sorry, we'll come back to you in just a moment, but let's listen to what trump said earlier on his immigration policy. paul illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. we will reinstate my remain in mexico policy and i was sent to the southern border to rebuild the disastrous invasion of our country houses. there was heidi's, old castro, his live in texas at the us mexico border. heidi, you've been such

a great job of covering this border issue with people coming over the border from latin america and other places during the bite and presidency. what are you seeing? i mean, i know the, this is the announcement has just been made by donald trump, the executive order not even signed yet. what do you expect to see happen where you are, if not today, then tomorrow and the following days. oh, yes, 0. trump said he would shut down the border, but as you can see behind me, it is already very quiet. in the few days we've been here, in fact, we haven't seen anyone cross, we know there are a few, but the numbers are down so dramatically. it's the lowest, in fact, in 4 years as far as an authorized crossings, that border patrol encounters. so there are many here in the local community as well, who say that this is not a national emergency. and they're really confounded at why trump is trying to make

it such. i will say that we have seen immediate effects of his words though, because over in mexico, my colleague john home and is reporting that the cd p one application, which is what president biden had used to offer asylum seekers. a way to try to get an appointment to come across in an orderly manner at ports of entry. well, despite some people having waited for months for their appointment to come across, as of the non duration of donald trump, that application ceased to function. and those appointments, again, some had been long awaited were immediately gone. so we're seeing that impact immediately as donald trump is trying to make good on his promise, that he is closing this border to all entries. there were about $50000.00 unauthorized entries or encounters in this last month, which again, is a drastic decrease from the searches that we had seen previously during earlier and biden's tenure. but to the point of what you were saying with your guess that by

didn't did take action 1st, trying to pass that legislative package to shut down the border and then later doing his own executive actions to really tighten who could come across. well, they seem to have had effects even before trump came into office a few hours ago, and that is what's being credited for this border. being so quiet at the moment and really perhaps complicating donald trump's efforts to declare a national emergency. you're trying to justify it, him claiming that there is an invasion happening currently, which you can see with your very own eyes. there isn't heidi. thank you very much, mark. it's back to you about the politics of this, or there's the substantive discussion about securing the border about asylum policy, etc. i just one for one second to consider just be just be a electro aspect of this. donald trump, as we said more than a decade ago, identified this the border as a winning political issue, a got him. it played

a big role in getting him into the white house once and now twice. right? it's such an emotional issue for so many people, especially a lot of the voters who report to support donald trump, right? they feel like they've been left behind that the experts that run washington dc run our politics run our education institutions re run our lives, have failed. and he has seized upon that. and he's used that wall and the immigration issue as his number one, emotional driver. it was in, in the election. he's done it successfully. so i think it's, you know, he's a grand market or he can say whatever you want about about his is this is the, the way that he conducts himself and, and a lot of the activities that he does that are distasteful. but in the end of the day, he can sell something. that's what he's good at. and now america, seeing the results of that he campaigned on it and now he's doing it. and jennifer, he's sorry, go ahead. i was just going to say i, i agree, but to expand on that it's, it's important to be clear that it's a false narrative as your reporter at the board,

or my point was that is the winning narrative, right? it is a, it is a winning narrow it. busy it's also a narrative that is consistent with, frankly, what we see from authoritarian leaders where what they do is sort of manufacture a crisis and then use that to justify increased executive powers. we can, we know there's one thing and i'll let you finish your point when you say it's a false narrative. the number of border crossings under joe biden, serge, 2 historical levels, right? it was 10000 crossings at the southern border a day, 4 times higher than had been the case under donald trump. that is, that exist that happened? sure. and then it came down. right. and then it came to, i mean, the thing is, it's a, a, the crisis to seek to suggest that there was a crisis. there was a crisis in migration. there's a crisis in poverty and various places in, in central and south america. there's a, there's, there is an international crisis, it's not just based in the united states that has to do with migration and housing

and economic opportunity and so forth. and there are big issues and big problems with the united states american with, excuse me, with the american immigration system, but need to be addressed. and i, there was some political effort, a lot of political effort put towards this last year. but donald trump is not really interested in solving the problem. he's much more interested in using the, the, the suppose in crisis in order to create division and, and perhaps to have more powerful himself. and i think that if president biden and vice president harris would have done more to secure the border, given the ideas that the trump is talking about at least some relevant of some amount of of border that i think that it's quite possible because of the very spin margin, the trump won the election in that it could've made a difference. meaning if you could turn back the clock and say a bite and harris miller, my orchestra, who is the, the secretary of homeland security. instead of painting

a rosy picture about the border, actually do some more enforcement show some things going on. might have been a different tally in november for the, for the, for the presidential election. mark biweekly. uh, jennifer, thank you very much for being with us. we'll get another bite of the apple. there's so much to talk about. but for right now we're going to hand it back to do ha and, you know, it's early hours into this new era of, uh, a washington politics and presidential politics. and there's a lot that we don't know yet, executive orders to be signed later today. we'll know the exact date, sailing exact contents of them when they are side. we've got our correspondence all across washington dc and frankly, all across the us to cover that as and when it happens for now, they'll back to you tom and don't. thank you so much, sarah. like pretty clear the trump is not wasting any time and getting stuck into his 2nd to for there's plenty more coming up here on al jazeera,

including the celebrations in the occupied with bank 90 palestinian women and children 7 long sentences of back hon. as part of the cost of sci fi to the fee, which and you'll just hear a reminder about top stories here. the sound of donald trump has been sworn in as the 47th presidents of the united states. it is integration ceremony in washington, dc. president trump says he will sign a wide range of executive orders on day one. and i do focus will be immigration at the southern board a trump soon as he will declare a national emergency and deploy additional personnel to stop any legal entry from mexico and president trump has promised a change in foreign policy. he says he'll be peace, micah, and unified by ending rules and conflicts around the globe without getting us

troops and phones. so let's listen to what's donald trump said about us involvement in boys across the world. we will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end. and perhaps most importantly the wars we never get into the my products legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier, that's what i want to be a peacemaker and a unifier. i'm pleased to say that as of yesterday one day before i assumed the office, the hostages in the middle east are coming back home to their families. the okay, we do it now by my one. be sorry, i'll just hear a senior political analyst see,

joins us from the law. so as we hear that don't trump says he wants to be a peace, mike, and to unify the surely that clashes with israel is policies when it comes to guys are in the palestinian territories. well, not when you are ordained by god. not when you're saved by god to make america great again times in peace on to the honey land. clearly the understanding of trump for what piece is, is not exactly conducive to what you, i, or people in palestine. my think what he says he wants to bring peace to is read. i think a lot of his followers, his main support is in the united states, the question sinus and event, general questions and so on, so forth. what, how do you much like him to be supportive? is there a lot to bring peace to is right. what of are the expenses that's us. remember, he also brought about the adver, how my chords that grow piece to is, right?

and with at least 4, perhaps 5 out of countries. i didn't really matter much that none of them had had to have a fault is right. but still, he's been boasting of the i brought my chords for bringing peace to face red. even if it is at the expense of the better experience. now, donald trump didn't speak specifically about gaza, but he did seem to draw a link between his retentive power and the return of is ready tapped him. what did you make of that? and how do you think, obviously we know that he's basically claiming a responsibility taking the credit for getting the deal done. wow. how do you think that's going to play out in his 1st week as presidents? it looks he's very good. i've taken credit for things and i'm something what he does deserve some good at, but not because he's strong. it's because he's the next president. what do i mean by that? i mean, nothing, you know, whole would have sold it to wherever it was. the next president,

even if it was harris, you would have sold her the ceasefire then, or rather, we should quoted the hostage it, because that's how it is seen in washington. why? because that's where you were to invest your political capital in the next president's not in the outgoing president for tomorrow that were the incoming president. it's happened to be tom. so it's not in your bank to withdraw him. so it's probably if he wants to credit for, that's fine, but it's just because he is the new person. now, having said that, i think the bigger question is going to be moving forward is what he would. what would he do on the question of iran? when he pursue war or peace with you on, i think that's going to be a central question for you as far as in the middle east. and the 2nd would be how when he did with the question of celia moving forward and the american forces in syria. and whether will he bring peace to syria along with the darks on the question of the cards,

or whether he would inflame the situation further along with his red ensued. mm hm . okay. i just wanna go back to uh, trump and yahoo. what can we expect from that combination? well, this is the thing, right? i mean the neighbor, but i have to call somebody at the no, it's not just about palestine as because nothing was almost finished with the guys . i mean, it shouldn't be. and he thinks now is just more of the same, but nothing, no has his eyes on them. at least i'm already and i think the whole congratulating trump said that we hope this is bill for trinity. now to break your want to do your picture on less than one so for so these things are related. the same thing with syria, devising syria, investing in the cards in syria, that there's nothing else that to do that he would like to bring the drums into it . this was solid. you're going to be able to normalization and piece was so dirty, but that's hugely important. for that, and you know, and apparently there's, for trump, even though they're solid yet, i bet it's not exactly,

and i've set the war with his right. but all of these things are but thing up, and i think it's clear that nothing, you know, once a whole number of things from, from the once form of america recognition off is really a next ations of various parts of the west bank. they want to know my decision was surgery was supported by the united states. they want him to break down, or to break iran as to forces cumulatively into some kind of a piece with its neighbors, including cars, right, and so on, so forth. so nothing you know, as prepared, the whole agenda for trump, for that or trump of walk into that the house drop and become a water president. the number to these or he takes a different path, remains to be seen. judging from his appointments to national security guards, why the secretary of state and best of the united nations and best of invoices, i'm at least i'm not confident that the piece to value is that preventing one that

it seems to me that they might be working and nothing yahoo has crap and that would be quite unfortunate and a thank you so much my one believe it there, but we will be talking to you in the coming out as well and the sharp. i'll just hear a senior political analyst. thank you. stopped the 15 months of war in which wide scrub said as well as you stop vacation, as a weapon of war desperately needed. it is finally entering the strip has to cease by inches a 2nd time. the you in says more than 630 trucks a few minutes here in the i didn't have guys are on sunday with at least 300 of them going to the besieged north honey mac mood reports from the air, the scale of israel, 16 months bombing, campaigning, java, is it clear this shows the destructive force of 85000 tons of explosives? it's difficult to understand how we anything or anyone could survive what aid agencies describe as in a pulling an apocalyptic conditions. and even with the seas fire,

how anyone could return to my shoddy says he built this house piece by piece i like many others at the moment, he has mixed feelings. what so that have done many between the halting of the blad shade is an indescribable feeling. i thank god that i survived. this was safely. however, when we return to our homes we found nothing but ruined and destruction. i cannot describe the scene in what in the south of gaza, similar seeing thousands of people are missing a many bodies are trapped on the rubble for goods and how them who, you know, i lost my brother and my nephew in this war. as for returning to rafa, it was a big shot. this destruction not just the total destruction, it's not like an earthquake or a flood. know what happened as a war of extermination? reasons, satellite imagery analyzed by the u on revealed entire neighborhoods in ruins.

nearly 70 percent of buildings are destroyed, including nearly a quarter of a 1000000 residential phone. the human to the bottom. to day we returned to check on our house. you know, we got lost on the way because we could not recognize the area and we found our house completely wiped out in the sea as far as is still in its 1st phase. and the future is uncertain. but what's it true for now in this moment is the opportunity for people to try and pick up the pieces of their lives. and some can't wait to get started. and even more alicia 0 from so i had the northern eastern hon eunice palestine. hebrew of kelly has been speaking with the palestinian family whose return to jamalia in northern cal. so to find that hon reduced to rubble. and this is the 2nd day of the season fire. as you can see, the scale of devastation inflicted to the buildings in value city,

hundreds of thousands of cells. sean's will have been for sibley displays from your values if you and your better. fiji can depend on the retailer and a re uniting with their loved ones. as you can see, this is a make shift in which this family has fit. after they have been uh, 470 this place and were turned into their completely destroyed house. i cannot get to a government how we used to live in peace before the war. our life was good. everyone had work and was busy providing their families with their daily needs. the war, let us to less than 0. we came back to see all the houses and buildings reduced to rubble setup. this makes shift tend to stay together as a family. there's no chance to work now and get some money for the family, but at least we're here together again. well, i know you have to show for 3 months on how the and got it. when i arrived to you and solar old, the destruction, i felt deep sad this,

but i must like all for every thing. it is only a matter of time as we will bring ourselves back and we will work hard to find a better life for us selves and for the children. everything will be fixed gradually. price be always to all law who helped us to be back again and to live together again are benign. i mean, this is the case for most the palestinian families. they are happy that the, this, the has a grant in them and you chance of survival and they are back. see it in a, whatever the can sits, this a make shift in to or anything just to shield through them. despite the destruction that took place. and despite the retailer and in a rewrite in, in a very hard circumstances and in a very harsh and bad place to live and

find for the me, i just the wrong device. if he had to sign the spot, this is fine. 3 palestinians have been shown de advise early soldiers in guns and the incidents took place and l. abrasion to santa and a profit in the south. at least 10 people injured in other shootings. more than a 100 bodies have been uncovered. from beneath the rubble in rasa, the discoveries are among the 1st if it's declared revel in the city and a search for an estimated $10000.00 bodies, buried under the concrete across sconces of it takes to tell us an in depth tell to more than 47000 to erica bozer made his way to southern gaza and saw what the situation was like just to killing me to from where is really forces have withdrawal and off to the safe spot. as i'm right now and rough i city and the 5 south of this trip where we managed to gain access to this area, following the implementation of the sci fi deal. as you see in the frame, the scale of devastation had resulted from the is very military operation,

but lasted for more than 6 months. and one of the areas that was densely populated with civilians with the population of more than $300000.00 palestinians who are right now completely displaced. given the scale of destruction, it gives a sign of the severity of battles and attacks conducted in this area. and just to make it clear for all of you, is that the use wait a minute to resist taking just a kilometer away from where we are into philadelphia, colorado as civilians believe that this kind of attacks haven't changed the geographical lunmark of the area. we just took a look on that place. we can barely find a building left, a standing due to the relentless compartment and the tax took place. civilians are trying to return in order to check and ask the damage inflicted to the neighborhoods. believing that the process of recovery will take keys in order to remove the russel and re gain a semblance of normality. again, target cup as an

o d 0 roughly post by to 90 palestinian prisoners a now home off to being freed as part of the c 5 deal with as well. one of them is it is not a kid who is now for united with the 3 children. she spent the last 8 months and is rarely prisons off to being arrested for support of terrorism. but she was never sentenced. nearly 2000 palestinian prisoners will be released all over the next 6 weeks. in exchange for 33 is reilly in foreign captives. if look on a hub and spoke with the kid before we received the news on the deal by chance. we heard about it, but we were not sure that the girls started to prepare themselves. thinking that we want to be ready, even if we might not be released. then we were visited by the deputy head of the prison and he told us to get ready in 10 minutes and that some of us would be released. he was never nice to us, they all were not, but he tried to show some humanity at that point. one of the 3 is really captives. freight is part of the say spawn deal says cheese returned to life off to being held by
