2:35 pm
those. eight hundred thousand. young immigrants here in the united states who came here illegally it with their parents they are the ones who could be. deported if there is nothing to replace dacca inside the next six months. that's what donald trump essentially did last week he said he was putting an end to this. program meaning that no one else can apply for it right now but there might be a replacement in the works in congress. and that is where this meeting last night at the white house a dinner with democratic leadership comes and nancy pelosi and chuck schumer what dining with president trump. they came out pretty triumphant thinking they were close to a deal on dacca that is something that the u. s. president then repeated but a little bit later in the day when he was tearing hurricane damage. down in florida. the me us president donald trump seem to indicate that maybe there wouldn't be a deal if there was no funding for border security. and no funding for
2:36 pm
that infamous border wall he wants to build on the border between mexico and the united states so things are pretty unclear right now. box this does seem to be an attempt sets maybe bipartisanship certainly in the us president getting along with democratic leadership right now may even better than with that republicans yeah well that's our is gonna say because that way does. this leave trump's own party the republicans because he's basically been going over the head set to make direct deals with democrats what wettest asleep the conservatives. i think you're right in saying that he's going over their heads because. this was not expected bike any republican that email my certainly don't think that there should be a deal between these two democrats and the u. s. president. first of all because they
2:37 pm
simply cannot be a legal deal it has to go through the u. s. congress and both houses out of course. controlled by republicans right now but maybe more painful for donald trump right now is the backlash that he's already feeling from the conservative the even more conservative wing if you will. of the republican party take a look at breitbart for example that's the conservative website that is again now led by steve ban and the former chief adviser. at to the u. s. president at its is criticizing donald trump harshly for not being strong enough on immigration there are a lot of donald trump supporters who want him to be. as strong as possible have a very strong anti immigration stance and then there is this promise made by don't from to his supporters on the campaign trail. that he was going to build a wall between the ball at a wall on the border between and mexico and the united states very very quickly indeed. that seems
2:38 pm
to be an doubt now hence the backlash from the most conservative members of the republican party they are the donald trump base and they are the ones that he has been trying to please. over the. during the whole beginning of his presidency meaning that. this isn't events and these are statements that sir could hutch donald trump quite seriously. philip thanks very much indeed fit rather that reporting from washington. well meanwhile trump has been making his third visit to harken victims in as many weeks today he went down to florida survivors and millif people. are still without electricity in florida and the death toll from amber in the united states now stands at thirty eight last month trump made two visits. do the victims of hurricane harvey. nerves are on edge in eastern europe now off to

2:42 pm
as the as some of the seriously injured a treated as well. but no real comfort from that fact that it has to be said the government saying that you know there is likely to be more attacks like this because i sees is losing its hold on urban centers like muscle. that's right the islamic state is losing territory foss not just in iraq but over the border. in syria as well them because lost that statd territorial entity can continue at to exist now that might sound on the surface like quite good news for the people all of us syria and iraq but the reality is. the islamic state is adapting to that reality some people would say the islamic state is reversing to how they use to be when we used to call them out qaeda in iraq back during the us occupation and then. that tactics really what that of an insurgency
2:43 pm
plenty of suicide attacks plenty of bold actions and as the iraqi government said we may well see more thought that was something that. the former leader of isis up most of the car we've really push now the current lead up by daddy he's focused on holding territory but as they lose that. we may see a move back to their old tactics. and staying with the rug for a moment the opponent in kurdistan has admits the first time in two years and they decided to hold an independence referendum on the to gathered in the small village in the province of nineveh. hope a referendum on kurdish independence scheduled a non picked two weeks time goes ahead as planned. despite mounting pressure from the government in baghdad. i'm sure the kurdish people will vote for the independence of kurdistan from iraq. what would you sure over other people all over the world have the right to self rule?
