this is. from her lead trumps racist taunts against 4 minority lawmakers rouse his republican base. his supporters there saying send her back echoing his rhetoric will trump's rests on race help him win another term in the white house also coming up a gasoline fueled arson attack in japan police say that more than 20 people are feared dead at the kyoto animation studio. and

a global public health emergency that's how the w.h.o. is describing and a bold al break in the democratic republic of congo we will look at why health workers are struggling to contain its spread plus in malaysia a young woman is rewriting the script in the world of pro wrestling 19 year olds she is punching above her weight in the brain but she's also hoping to send a message to muslims and. god. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program will began as a racist tweet has become a rallying cry for supporters of u.s. president donald trump at a campaign event in north carolina he repeated his attack on several democratic congresswoman some in the crowd started chanting. send her back

was now earlier this week trump had tweeted that the representatives should go back to their countries despite them being us citizens democrats condemned his racist comments about republicans have thrown their support behind the president and here is part of his speech in which he goes after the 4 minority lawmakers was that i have a suggestion for the hate filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down they never have anything good to say that's why i say hey if they don't like it a little believe let them know you was there always telling us how to run it how to do this how to that you know what if they don't love it don't believe in god let's get more on those comments at that rally we have here in the studio is on the end as if and we're really seeing this

defiant tack attack by the u.s. president on these democratic congresswoman all of them u.s. citizens we have to reiterate what's going on here i think it's been shocking for people to see a u.s. president telling american citizens to leave the country that is definitely a 1st year but the ideology behind that is nothing new i mean even i growing up in the u.s. with a lebanese last name got told to leave the country if i if i didn't like it so i think that has been present and he's picking up on that he's using that as a rallying cry on the one hand people are saying it's racist because he's attacking people of color here women young congresswoman with migration background some of them but not all of them don't forget that alexandria because you're cortez who is singled out is has a background from puerto rico which is part of the united states so on the one hand it's been called racists on the other hand it's very political these women are some of the most vocal opponents of his doctrine and so he sees the. as

a threat i believe and is going after them because of that one has to think about the upcoming presidential race of course and you know perhaps to understand a bit of his strategy looking back at the last presidential race one of his his montrose that he would get the crowd to chant was also a lock her up lock her up he was referring to of course hillary clinton in that case do you see a connection here there's a very explicit connection here i think also the crowd sees the connection they're playing with that the locker of chance was still the a major chant of his rallies until early so a few weeks ago even had a rally in june where the chant of lock her up about a presidential candidate from 2016 so it's a very much geared toward the election he likes these little sound bites but there's something a little bit more sinister about telling a citizen to leave the country ok i mean i want to get your reaction also to another part of his speech because he talks a lot about migrants as well reaffirming his promise to deport millions of undocumented migrants it has left many families living in fear of being swept up

separated by raids by u.s. immigration and customs of forces into that's ice of course. humphrey reports on that and then i'll get your reaction after. like most parents do is a good yet is lopez couldn't imagine being forced to leave the children but as an undocumented immigrant a great his fear is a realistic one rosa fled violence in el salvador 13 years ago now she's facing deportation 3 children were born here a little less our youngest son john has down's syndrome and she's worried he wouldn't receive the same care in el salvador and so over 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 their school. 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 they have to look at it. raises deportation was ordered off to she missed an early immigration hearing went. down they fitted with a monitoring bracelet and ordered her to leave the country and. a friend a small what's going on in the i had to tell her i was coming to say goodbye i had to put my children and another school i had to tell her that i was being deported. it was hard for me. but i wanted to report me because i missed a court session but that doesn't make us a criminal. matter. reverend abby

jerram and she hopes that ice agents will avoid entering places of worship the church is now one of 50 religious communities offering sanctuary we decided to become a physical sanctuary congregation driven by the guiding principles of our fate and 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 various and many people like her the threat of deportation raids 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 there's a community is not backing down or holding vigils to let rosa know they will protect her even if the trump administration is taking a different stone. so we see demonstrated there i mean that fear of being raided by the customs enforcement agency an immigration enforcement agency tell us a little bit more about these raids they're going on well trump had announced that there was going to be massive raids and starting on sunday he built this up which cause a lot of fear that immigration their community of immigrants in the united states i

think that was probably part of the goal was to create this sense that america is no longer welcome to people who immigrate illegally or even legally a some and some cases but actually activists who had prepared for these raids to show immigrants their rights to teach them how to deal with a raid that could violate their rights they were a little bit surprised that there were so few actually and what you notice is that donald trump is embracing this idea of the deporter in chief but actually deportations haven't significantly increased they haven't moved anywhere since obama was president there was a big decrease after bush left office but obama was known as the poor in chief and he was always trying to shed that which is something that was part of his legacy that he there was a lot of deportations under his when he was president and trump is trying to embrace that but with mixed results i mean you can see that it comes off

a little bit as little as a lot of talk and no action because the rhetoric not matching that action i mean s.f. on the story thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world 2 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 spacy has faced several sexual misconduct allegations this was the only one to lead to a criminal case. the united states has kicked turkey out of the f. 35 fighter jet program the move came after turkey began implementing russia's s 400 air defense system last week washington fears that the system would allow moscow to gather inside information about america's stealth fighter. india space agency says that it will make another attempt on monday to launch its highly anticipated moon mission the initial launch was called off at short notice this week due to

a technical problem india is aiming to become just the 4th country to achieve a soft landing on the moon's surface. now in japan at least $24.00 people are feared dead after a fire has broken out in an animation studio police say that the fire was started deliberately but haven't yet a sample of a motive a 41 year old suspect has been detained he was also injured in the fire and taken to the hospital for treatment survivors reportedly heard the man shouting die as he poured what he would appear to be gasoline around the studio. we're joined now by journalist julian rial who is in that city and has more on the story now so we've heard that police have arrested one man do you have any new information on his potential motive. i want to know is that he the 41 year old.

he has a duty to the will for things that he did start the fire or if you don't question it means as you said he's in the hospital he's being treated for burns that he sustained during the incident and there's no good and yet as the quite why he did it there's no word as a monthly but often any cases as we've seen on past cases like this are often down to describe employees all disgruntled former employee. ok do we know more about the studio that was targeted. it's a relatively new one but it's an extremely popular one it's behind some of the most popular. t.v. programs that go out in japan and around the world so it's cool to watch unimagined company there are counted in 1901 but there is a show regularly on on t.v. here in japan and i'm serving picks up for internationally some of the programs on

netflix so they'll be known to so anybody who has an interest in any might buy one of these movies julian reilly thank you. you're watching news still to come on the program how protesters trying to block construction at a park in istanbul ended in court 6 years later accused of trying to topple the government. but 1st the world health organization says that the whole 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 and it's intended to raise attention to the outbreak and trigger more international aid the warning comes after the 1st of all a case was confirmed in goma a city of 2000000 people that neighbors were wanda. wonders border with the democratic republic of congo health workers in yellow vests a checking travel as temperatures before allowing them to enter just across the

border in the city of goma the death of a traveling pasta or has sparked fears the disease could spread now congo's a bold outbreak has been declared a public 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 there's 3 kitchens on travel or trade which rather than stopping. can actually hamper the fight side dressed street sions force people to use informal and border crossings increasing the potential for the spread of this is what. i knew about 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 a gap in vaccine and there is a limitation of supply we wouldn't have been involved in the just of doses if we had adequate supplies of vaccine available right now so excel are raising the real ability of rexy there's a priority. it's been almost a year since the latest of all the outbreak began in the region more than $1600.00 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. let's head to istanbul now where a landmark trial continues today against a prominent turkish philanthropist and 15 others accused of organizing anti-government protests back in 2013 the so-called gezi park protests started over a planned park construction in 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 wretch of type of one our correspondent you leon reports. these pictures are 6 years old. but when john i'll tell i sees them he still remembers everything. in the summer of 2013 when police dispersed the protesters in istanbul until 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 quality freedom justice in turkey everyone who believes 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 the 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 $47000.00 he is 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 coa temped is that out of service that will of course it is is it unlawful yes it is the rule of law does not exist in turkey anymore the this is the. inmate 20 search team a few dozen istanbul residents occupied the park to prevent

a construction project state 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. both in italy and on half the police and to protest by force those scenes back down to a place right here on the symbol central texan square today there are no remind us 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 and 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 of a columnist for the pro-government newspaper daily said agrees. especially the western media. yeah them one romanticize that they saw part of our up spring. protest they thought it was kind of a turkish spring this is starting with the label it was a barter environmental issues but it turned to a while and activity that weiland events and the end of the day and trying to topple the government which is the most critically elected government. john i'll tell you the lawyer who is now on trial sees things differently for him is 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. and that report by d.w. mr he correspondent julie holland who is joining us now from istanbul and as we heard you earlier 16 defendants and i guess the park trial what sort of evidence have the prosecutors presented so far. well that's what observers actually criticize the lack of credible evidence the indictment is more than 600 pages long but and the city international for example just to name one prominent human rights organization says and i quote them here there is not a single shred of evidence that the defendants were in any way involved in criminal activities so if you have a look at the indictment the prosecution heavily relies on social media post travels abroad why attempt phone conversations or private photos from the defendant's mobile phones one of the accused for example made

a call discussing the preparation of 100 sandwiches and a couple of plastic chairs and tables for the guese protesters and it's quite difficult to understand how this actually made it into an indictment prosecutors say these people have been trying to overthrow the turkish government. prosecutors we know seeking a total of more than 47000 years in jail for the accused i mean how do you see that happening. well there actually seeking lifetime in jail for all of the defendants plus additionally up to 2970 years so if you add that up for all of the defendants you come up with this yeah quite astonishing figure this of course says a lot about the severity of the charges some government supporters even draw connections between the give the protests and 2030 and the failed coup against

president ad on here in turkey in 2016 so they're arguing they gave the protests were a pretext to that on the other hand of course seeking a lifetime in jail this is quite something tough so the european union has for example criticized that saying this is creating an atmosphere of fear here in turkey and join us ally the lawyer who i met for this report also told me he thinks this is an attempt by the government to silence all critical voices in turkey he said the message is if you are claiming your rights trying to take to the streets to claim your rights this is what you get they try to drag you into court and punish you. this happened 6 years ago how big a role has is this still. well if you talk to government supporters they would emphasize that it was in fact not a majority of turkish people supporting the guese protests back then in 2039 but if

you talk to people here in central istanbul especially young people many of them would be able to tell you exactly where they were between may and august 2039 what they did and how they were supporting these protests they would tell you about their personal hopes for a different turkey for a more inclusive country with more personal freedom so with them the memories of very vivid and then there is of course central texan square gezi park itself a constant reminder of these events but the area in central istanbul has been completely remodeled there is a lot of police as i told you so the atmosphere has changed a lot. thank you for now to a story of a 19 year old female wrestler in malaysia who was blazing a trail that crosses the boundaries of religion sport and that her tame and the phoenix as she is known doesn't just pack a punch when she enters the range she also carries

motivation. but i. also i do believe that she is there on my dough and expression to the office goes out there that i don't think this thing goes so goes as a duo as a whole i think that she kind of built a barrier disproof it and i mean she can do it because. taking down the competition phoenix has gained a following on social media in hopes to encourage more muslim women to be true to their faith and their journey. meantime in football nigeria p tunisia one nil in the 3rd place game of the africa cup of nations on wednesday nigeria's match winner scored his 5th goal of the tournament the 1st player to do so since 2010 the striker is still on course to finish top marksman at africa's continental championship with only 3 players left in friday's final between algeria and senegal who could catch. right at the top stories
