undocumented immigrant her greatest fear is a realistic one rosa fled violence you know salvador 13 years ago now she's facing deportation her 3 children were born here in the u.s. our youngest son john has down's syndrome and she's worried he wouldn't receive the same care in el salvador and so for the past 8 months she's been seeking sanctuary here at cedar lane unitarian universalist church in washington d.c. living apart from her children during the week so they can still attend school. when it got really hit it was hard telling my kids that i had to seek refuge in a church i couldn't go back to my country and leave them here and i also couldn't take them because i would be putting them in danger they could be killed criminal gangs their recruit children from the age of 10. and if they refuse you know they kill them and their. raises deportation was ordered after she

in these times where we see the current administration engaging in policies and actions that threaten the safety and also the humanity of people. the church has also started an information campaign preparing undocumented immigrants for deportation raids and how to avoid arrest mainly by refusing to open the door. for years and many people like her the threat of deportation rates has confined them to living their lives in the shadows of society every day activities like buying groceries or seeking medical care come with a sense of fear now president trump says that isis set to your abuse of quote millions of illegal aliens from the country the reality is closer to around 2000 people without papers and democratic lawmakers say that these kinds of statements are a tactic to intimidate communities just like this one let us once again that the community

is not backing down or holding vigils so that rosa know they will protect her even if the champ administration is taking a different stones and. let's talk a little bit more about this we're joined now here in the studio by events on the koski director of human rights watch here in germany and as we just heard there we heard those congressional democrats essentially accusing the top administration of intimidation campaigns against migrants is that how you see it absolutely i mean not letting people in or then when they're already in the process of asylum seeking sending them back to mexico the sending them back to risk of kidnapping rape and all this this is just to deter people from coming into the states trunk continues targa. and so i mean that is a line that is nothing new he's done that since the very beginning of his original campaign for president but now he's also targeting progressive lawmakers with

migration backgrounds we're seeing those for congresswoman for example do you see a connection between the 2 yeah it's kind of we could logic behind this because once i take my currents i built up atmosphere of fear and if them at an atmosphere of hate of racist hate against these congressmen for example then i have a perfect right wing authoritarian populist strategy but i mean he essentially saying that the democrats are the ones who are bigoted i mean he was targeting for example in omar basically saying that she's an anti-semite as well how do you see that that particular strategy that's something that we for example also see germany it's victim blaming it's people who are being accused of. being racist just turn the whole thing around and say look i am the victim and you all of that and to see

why all the racist or whatever the u.s. congress itself i mean it is deadlocked along party lines now when it comes to immigration policy. what do you see happening going forward and what would you like to see happen where we would like to see all these measures that has been put in place to be repealed and to return to a human rights respecting asylum procedure. there are international obligations they are written down in the geneva conventions and the united states of america should act accordingly ok thank you so much that's mccaskey director of human rights watch here in germany for joining us on the program to share their perspective thank you. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world the u.s. prosecutors have dropped a case against actor kevin spacey he had been accused of groping an 18 year old man at a bar 3 years ago but the case collapsed after the alleged victim refused to testify

a bowl the outbreak in the democratic republic of congo is now an international health emergency it's only the 5th time that such a warning has been issued it's intended to raise attention to the outbreak and trigger more international aid the warning comes after the 1st of all the case was confirmed in goma a city of 2000000 people that neighbors rwanda. or no one does border with the democratic republic of congo health workers in yellow vests are checking travelers temperatures before allowing them to enter just across the border in the city of goma the death of a traveling posture has sparked fears the disease could spread now congo's a bold outbreak has been declared a pub. blick health emergency of international concern by the world health organization. but the w.h.o. has stopped short of calling it a global threat saying the virus can still be contained regionally without travel bans. that does not require any less

directions on travel or trade which rather than stopping it. can actually hamper the fight so i dressed street sions forced people to use informal and border crossings increasing the potential for the spread of disease what. was. new of all the vaccine is proving highly effective but a looming shortage of the drug has health officials worried dosages have been hard to prevent a shortage that we have to get vaccine and there is a limitation of supply we wouldn't have been involved in a just a if we had adequate supplies a vaccine available right now so excel or the real ability of actually there's a priority it's been almost a year since the latest of all the outbreak began in the region more than 1600

people have died and twice as many have been infected international donors are being asked to step up funding to stop the crisis from spreading further. for more i'm joined now by christiane lindenmayer from the w.h.o. in geneva welcome to the program and thank you for joining us we've just heard there that your organization the w.h.o. has declared the a bola crisis in the democratic republic of congo a public health emergency of international concern how bad is the situation. good morning thanks for having me. the situation hasn't changed much in the recent days that has to be clear the regional risk of strain is declared high so you have 2 feet of the region and. you know the congo is a region where people on a daily basis crossed the borders into thousands because of the reasons of

connected region the virus of scripts to go to deals more than a 1000000 people and would hold there would be a real danger of on the other hand their democratic republic of congo authorities have been preparing for this case together with with them with partners that was helpful in his regime has been setting up surveillance teams to build a treatment unit and everything on the ground already the case of what you just mentioned to travel to goma in fact it was detected early he was brought back to the treatment unit in. fortunately dies and at the same time many many contacts inside the city of. being followed so there's a whole system around which takes care of this so the things we need to do we know we have the vaccines and we have the treatment but is need everybody to work together has to pull together that this situation gets finally under control can

you talk with us a little bit more about the level of preparedness because we the world really remember the last major of all outbreak in africa back in 2014 a lot of criticism flying around after that including directed at the w.h.o. for for budgetary cuts for example a lot of promises were made to be better prepared to talk with us about what changes have been made and how you're going into the situation differently this time. the world and the international community have changed quite a bit since then 1st of all everybody has learned complacency a waiting too long is not an option. we also have many more means of trolls going to be as effective treatment we know how to find people how to trade than we have experienced teams of doing that we have a vaccine a very highly effective vaccines over 90 percent difficulty. but it means we need to reach to people we know now how to engage people on the ground which is

most important for the whole response because it means the whole community every single person to be aware of this disease and when somebody in the vicinity of the environment. in the family falls fictional how to treat them this is important and then the same time it's also important for the help as to treat patients with respect so we all know we still these. horrifying pictures all of the past when men in uniforms basically grabbed loved ones from their families and they were now the scene again this is a shock for the community this is a shockwave family so now people can go to treatment centers where there are transparent plastic tents where people get treated and some family members can stand outside and watch what's going on and can communicate with them this is of high important so everybody working together become unity international community

the people on the ground and the authorities that's what makes this response possible and effective a challenging situation and we thank you very much for walking us through your efforts to contain it 1st and then meyer in geneva thank you. to istanbul now where a landmark trial continues today against a prominent turkish philanthropist and 15 others accused of organizing into government protest in 2013 the so-called gazey park protests started over a planned park construction istanbul city center but they quickly spread to other parts of turkey now 6 years later the defendants are being accused of trying to overthrow the government of russia type. our correspondent yulia han reports. these pictures are 6 years old. but when john the till i sees them he still remembers everything i in the summer of 2013 when police dispersed the protesters in istanbul i was one of the demonstrators who fled the tear gas.

that's when i think of give it's not just about the police violence what i remember most is the people's hope for more equality freedom and justice in turkey everyone who believed that their rights were being ignored by the government took to the streets to be heard. back then i'll tell you i was a lawyer and he still is over the past years he's defended hundreds of people in court many of them government critics journalists trade unionists. but now he finds himself in the dock as a defendant since june he's being tried in connection with easy pot protests. he's one of 16 accused most of them a prominent members of turkish civil society they face charges of attempting to overthrow the government but organizing an uprising. the prosecution is seeking

a total of more than 47000 years in jail for the defendants. over to digital would reach and how there is no evidence in the indictment and that's why the accusations are baseless if you were supposed to have planned a covert. is that out of shirt little of course it is is it unlawful yes it is the rule of law does not exist in turkey anymore this is the. in may 20 said a few dozen istanbul residents occupied the park to prevent a construction project lists police drove them away but that only fueled more protests. but. it soon became about more than just preserving a few trees in istanbul the protests spread to other parts of turkey. and demonstrators started calling for the resignation of reggie type and at the time prime minister now president. old timidly add on half the police and to

protest by force those scenes back down to a place right here on istanbul central taksim square today there are no reminders of the mass protests 60 years ago the day is a park is right behind me nothing has been built there but the area is now being closely monitored by police they set up barricades to prevent gatherings anti-government demonstrations are not being tolerated thanks president add one is named as one of the injured parties in the indictment he has called the protests an attack on the unity of the country controlled and financed by flooring activists. matter. a columnist for the pro-government newspaper daily sabbat agrees. especially in the western media. room when i romanticize that so with part of our upspringing prose protest they thought it was kind of

a turkish spring this is starting with the label it was about environmental issues but it turned to a while and activity that while and events and the end of the day and trying to topple the government which is the most critically elected government. john the lawyer who is now on trial sees things differently for him he was an act of civil protest against an increasingly authoritarian government and that he says is something that nobody should be thrown in jail for. mexican drug lord el chapo guzman has been sentenced to life in the u.s. person the judge in brooklyn accused him of overwhelming evil and told him to forfeit more than $12000000000.00 in ill gotten drug proceeds when headed mexico city a lower drug cartel one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in the

a show trial and how it ended is exactly perfect all that mattered was the government's evidence no matter how flawed it may have been how many lunatics and sociopaths and psychopaths that it depended on. el chapo guzman has been held in solitary confinement at a high security new york prison since he was extradited from mexico to the u.s. in 2017. security at his brooklyn trial was tight. twice from jail in mexico most recently through a tunnel in july 2015 a worldwide manhunt followed but authorities only found guzman after he invited american actor sean penn and mexican t.v. . to interview him. u.s. prosecutors spent years building their case against detailing an empire of torture contract killings and bribes that went all the way to mexico's former president.
