8:30 am
never mind how they stretch we take serious nature protect these interests meanwhile josie's an overall face should we will see that they are the ones who are being bullied by the european union with their livelihoods being put on death threats we've had a. huge number of how. loud enough that we have lost yeah but haitians for licenses. protest. votes taken around about 1500 pounds of the same show the scholars that i have been banned from landing. $1500.00 pounds of those got pregnant by french and freely landed back in just a few years senator it's huge disparity in the way the size of the tree they were said to be livid that they rule authorities have been meeting with french fishermen when they say in fact what they should be doing is standing united with them
8:31 am
against those threats coming from france so let's even ski paris just on half past 3 in the afternoon in moscow good to have become people back again at the top.
8:32 am
greetings and salutations u.s. immigration policy is a maze with vulnerable families caught in the middle of never ending red tape the
8:33 am
trouble ministration was known for its quote policies but honestly both sides of the aisle are to blame for kicking the can down the road for years leaving migrant families in limbo and contributing to chaos and our nation's southern border and again this isn't simply a republican anti immigration nationalism or america 1st idiology problem. for their part haitian migrants refugees and those actively seeking legal status in america have been fighting since the ninety's when then president clinton and leading democrats failed to provide equity in protecting them some of that just might be changing the department of homeland security announced this week that the agency is reviewing temporary protected status t.p.s. for haitians cameroonians in mauritania it's getting to this point wasn't easy douglas rivlin director of communications for america's voice had a thing in message for president biden saying quote despite haiti's fragile conditions the biden administration has been actively deporting people back to
8:34 am
haiti since they took office the administration needs to act and act fast in reviewing country conditions and use t.p.s. what it was created to do protect immigrates from deport and help stabilize economies truman says nearly 500 advocates non-profits they sent letters to the white house asking biden to read designate t.p.s. for haitians living in the u.s. and population growth in america well it's on the downswing economists believe that population growth fuels wealthy countries but with the u.s. growing by just 7.4 percent over the last decade things aren't looking too good shrinking tax bases make it harder to support services like schools and bio infrastructure but there is a silver lining immigration it can serve as a buffer for u.s. population decline in over the next decade is believed to be the primary driver of population growth in the us america needs immigrants as much or even more so than
8:35 am
immigrants need america it's time we start watching the hawks. if you want to let me see you street you want to. go to sleep see see this is the only state and secure place sprays suggests least systemic deception is at least showing which days i will bring some joy as. welcome everybody to watching the hawks i mean tyrrell is on vacation joining me now is al gore jr attorney with the american immigration lawyers association good to see you again alan good thank you so much for having me and cover this issue well alan you know anybody who watches your social media and knows you've been a strong voice in advocacy for haitian migrants and you're trying to help american lawmakers understand the dire circumstances they faced just last week $4000.00
8:36 am
haitian migrants arrived in mexico the shelters are full and they're being forced to sleep in the streets here in the u.s. haitian migrants continue to be deported despite the ship and presidential administrations and they aren't receiving the media attention central and south american migrants are even though their situations are no less dire can you conceptualize for our audience what d.h. s. considering temporary protected status for haiti actually means and what the next step for agot advocates actually is. so it's really just about equity because we've already done t.p.s. for many of the southern states in south america and we also should think of haiti as part of that south america region basically because they're actually closer other than mexico they're closer than some other countries and they've had many of the same conditions that have led to this t.p.s. and right now the government there is politically unstable and that's the main issue that we're talking about an unstable government where they're not exactly sure the leadership is in there has been little or no coherent that seems available to that out and because the current government turned down you have aid which kind
8:37 am
of shows you the direction in which the current leadership of that out is going and so what it would mean for individuals is that the u.s. would stop deporting people to a place where they're sure we're going to die either because of co-head or because the instability of the government if you can search any day on twitter and see the number of people who are dying in the streets they are either from or dying actually at the hands of the current government and so there's until the stability that's exactly what t.p.s. was there for in haiti out of the group of people who are currently in t.p.s. at the smallest number smallest class of people actually g.p.s. is the newest group to be assigned t.p.s. and it was the one that was given away shortly and the issue is this isn't something that takes congress this isn't something that even take the white house. secretary markets could do this tomorrow and just designate the t.p.s. which will give a reprieve to people to say right now we're just not reporting you it doesn't give you or legalising stabilize your status but it means right now if you don't have
8:38 am
the patience you can apply for work which many of you think it will need and we have johnson the job sure his number about early this week and we can start addressing humanely but across the board no matter where you're talking about people who are from africa from the caribbean or from africa continent you're treated worse than immigration proceeding think anyone else consistently meeting the hardships that we're having with the diversity visa right now the number of deportations that you have seen all the problems you see in deportation centers there really hasn't been a clear class in exactly which of those children were separated exactly which countries are prone if you have heard so far from central america but we don't know the other class the actual very 1st class of separation was a black immigrant so those issues are part of the racial equality this country must face and make immigration part of the conversation about how we're going to do this justly process and some of our regard to someone's race or color or ethnicity and alan is you so eloquently pointed out it seems like the equity lands is failing and
8:39 am
multiple areas including on the immigration front we know that the media leaves out migrants like those from haiti cameroon and other nations why do you think that is and we've seen movement from haitian celebrities civil rights groups and activists on this front particularly lobbying the by an administration what is on the horizon and can these haitian migrants be hopeful. yeah so i don't know if i mean other than just i mean i thank you the 2nd national network is actually covering the story with the slow death so i don't know what is turning people in the story because it's a minute here issue and it's about the united states and our continent and right now he's actually asian heritage month so that's another reason that we just move forward on this and i don't know why the news doesn't cover it because every day the only planes that are leaving are those are going to african nations also. so that should send a message to say why are we just supporting black people or people who are of african descent and just a touch of the link we're just we're getting people who are we to the people who
8:40 am
actually work in this country and help build this country for free in the here can we do way back when there is a stronger economy argument based on the foundation of this country and why we should be more considerate of people from the african continent or people about the caribbean. he specifically we're having this conversation in general about just racial reform in this country but when they're the only ones that are being deported that's a problem and when you look at numbers as you see that are being deported in their children that are being deported right now it's unconstitutional because you're deporting them to a place that doesn't have a stable government so they can not receive them in assumed yesterday that was why they were supposed to be deported to haiti that might have i don't have confirmation yet but that should stop and that people should be no more so i don't know part of what congress is doing now is this in one sense that the midterm. republicans have been clear that they don't want to work with democratic party and they just want to talk about immigration and it's time to stop talking about immigration as it's seen and realize that these are people and push these policies
8:41 am
through that we've been talking about for 10 years and really quickly allan because we have to let you go what do you think or what do you think is going to come out of we've seen the reports we've seen the census data on the decline in population for americans huge part of that is also looking towards immigration to actually want to know some some population growth across this country what do you think that means for public policy. because the struggle i think there is concern about the time comes and also the browning of america and that some people will say just elation and repopulate ourselves but. you know it's also an american heritage month so i also have the same local stress. as we all are based on skin color as far as this immigration is the time to realize. we all are and it's nothing but. a strong nation we need to start thinking about because we have the lowest level of incoming
8:42 am
immigrants in europe nations because we compare ourselves to thank you so much for coming on and once again informing our audience alan or jr it's going to be great to have you think i'm going to more thank you so much. the olympics bring together the most talented athletes from across the globe it's a true showcase of achievement ability and love of country the 2020 summer olympics were postponed due to cope 19 but now we're just 80 days out from the event in tokyo though there won't be any international fans in athletes are required to take in past series a public $1000.00 nasal test there is $18.00. the international olympic committee is banning black lives matter here the slogan cannot be worn on any ethical paper according to the i.o.c. 70 percent of athletes polled don't think it's appropriate to demonstrate during competition here to tell us more is our team sports producer regina hamm glad to have you again regina for having me so i mean i need you to break this all down for
8:43 am
us we're just 80 days away from the postponed 2020 tokie tokie tokie olympics and we've already heard the i.o.c. is making changes in addition to upholding rule 50 so can you explain to us a little bit about what will 50 means and some of the changes that we're seeing on the olympics one this year sure so we'll see essentially there it prohibits any demonstration of political religious or racial propaganda in the limbic area so. arena. etc so we already knew the i.o.c. was going to have some rules in place against protesting of any nature at the olympics that had widely regarded for a while now it's been very it's been brought to the sport's attention especially after you had purchased the tri 16 olympics in the penn american games when barry was seriously raised her fist during her gold medal podium ceremony so we've been aware that this was going to happen we knew it and now saying that black lives matter apparel with the slogan on it is not to be allowed you're now asking the question ok obviously you're throwing that to the racial propaganda so why are you
8:44 am
calling a propaganda there is a deeper question here that the posing we get it supposed to be a political just a coming together of nations to celebrate sport however by taking a stand against black lives matters of hair which to me there is not hurting anybody you can wear it to support it you're not supporting necessarily on a podium like blaring it out there making a stance that was almost political in nature may she would you say there's definitely saying this is a problem we will not allow it but hey what if you had someone who put oh i don't know all eyes matter stuff and that has to be the issue exactly and i think there's a caveat on it you can wear piece on even these other things that are kind of alluding to politics but not really it's a very interesting struggle they find themselves in the i.o.c. is trying to remain politically neutral. they say 70 percent of their athletes that they polled were ok with this what is what does that mean do you think that people are actually going to exert their right to showcase what they believe their rights
8:45 am
to politically take action or do you think that there's going to be some pushback from the i.o.c. going into this well so is a great example for the parity games here seem to 12 months probation from the u.s. olympic committee they notified really after they already made that decision not prior to so i think athletes will be discouraged now the i.o.c. and several consequences people will face for protesting in olympic areas they have not specified that hey say you take a knee. on your podium you receive an x. amount of ban from the sport no one's made that decision it's very vague it sounds like there will be consequences but we can't tell you what they are and so that i think will maybe keep some people from doing like we saw tommy smith and john carlson 1968 mexico city games raising their fist of the podium that is like those one iconic photos we hope their athletes will maybe just this is their platform will use it i think it's. i think the i.o.c. should expect it to happen now in what form no one can know because it's like it's our car so walls are broken but i think that they should expect it however as you
8:46 am
know american athletes i think are aware of the consequences from their own olympic committee now they may not choose to partake in any purchase but you have to see what comes you know in july in that sense well we've already seen that nonprofit organizations are stepping up to try to create a buffer protect some of these athletes should they decide to exhibit any any form of protest why do you think that's important and why have nonprofits actually tried to mitigate this ahead of time by announcing that they are basically here for these athletes in anticipation of what could happen i think that they are into speeding that there will be people who will try to bring things to the to the forefront you know racial inequality. things that we have seen in the united states and across the globe that exists that is still going to that is always underneath this observe the olympics you can say that a political we want we can say that they are just a show of support a show of sportsmanship there are still political issues lying underneath we can't ignore that so i think that those athletes who choose to voice his opinion these nonprofits are at least given that backbone that you know they're only the
8:47 am
committees don't seem to be giving them that backbone you know saying this is this person you could say is us this is this person's views this is their stance us does not support this stance but we support them in their choice to make that statement so the nonprofit are setting into the vacuum of where the olympic committees are not taking that stance and you may see athletes knowing that be more willing to protest and stand up for whatever their moral beliefs are and i think that really does show at the end of the day that they just want to keep they want to keep the peace and at any cost even if it's cost to banning someone for $5.00 or 10 years in a sport which is ridiculous absolutely and we have to also remember that these athletes represent their countries and there are some at least in america the globe there are some questionable things going on in terms of human rights violations and race based issues absolutely and i think that's something you know we need to be aware of as watchers of the sport you know it's great to watch bobsledding it's great to watch the diving it's great to watch all these sports remember these are still people and it comes back to athletes united states how we say they shouldn't they should shut up and play sports they're still people with opinions of the of

a move that would make some middle and all high schoolers eligible to get vaccinated in the u.s. something experts say would be a big step in raising immunity levels across the country pfizer recently announced in the trial results showing the vaccine is highly effective for that age group possibly even more than for adults according to pfizer at the end of march a clinical trial involving 226012 to 15 year olds showed 100 percent efficacy and is well tolerated the f.d.a. now reviewing that data if it's approved the centers for disease control and prevention would hold an emergency meeting and issue recommendations the announcement comes as health officials are worried vaccine hesitancy could make reaching herd immunity in the u.s. difficult if not impossible there are concerns now amplified as new data indicates children in this country represent 22 percent of new cases reported in this past week alone according to the c.d.c. the average number of covert 1000 back scenes given per day in the u.s. the 27 percent from a high of 3260000 on april 11th to 2.37. 1000000 last tuesday

8:56 am
about why such punishment continues in a country that prides itself in being a beacon of democracy parties came up and reports. now you would think the teachers beating their students in order to keep them in line is a thing of the past and certainly doesn't happen nowadays well if you think that you are wrong a recent incident in florida caught on video sparked outrage here's what happened to a 6 year old girl who allegedly damaged a school computer and there is disturbing video this morning of a school principal hitting a 6 year old student with a wooden paddle now the video was recorded by her mother she came to the school in order to pay a fine for the damage to property now the mother did not speak english and feared for her immigration status so rather than intervene she just screamed he took out her phone and recorded how the principal spanked her daughter with the help of another staff member nobody would have believed me i stick my daughter so old parents can realize what's happening in the school now the official rules of
8:57 am
a county school. don't permit for students to be hit but apparently it does happen however many counties throughout florida do have official policies permitting the use of corporal punishment elementary school principals are now able to paddle misbehaving students in marion county and many people at our morning news meeting wondered could bay area schools be next piece of video showing 2 adults at an elementary school in georgia preparing to paddle a 5 year old child it's perfectly legal in that state and in 1000 other states 19 us states maintain laws allowing corporal punishment in public schools and almost every state keeps it legal in private schools now some say this is just part of the religious and traditional cultures of some regions throughout the united states but others say this is an outdated authoritarian practice pretty much child abuse and it has no place in modern education if our point isn't giving indications to only children who would employ reduces the amount of education and. mind set that
8:58 am
a child could have while learning so i would say since the point of going to school been. what we're doing with a wooden board it is counterproductive to all children having the possibility to excel in schools where the poor school or very well will do better when they feel safe people across the country have very strong opinions about this disciplinary practice i feel like that's a something that a parent should do like that kind of discipline should come from parents and teachers should. just shouldn't be allowed to do that it's on their job description i will definitely make sure that those people go to jail because. i don't think they can buy in this is the answer for hunnish man i think that he said there was a lot of ways to. make sure that the kids were there and the fact that beating children as a routine form of punishment in schools across the country certainly flies in the face of the image the united states has constructed for itself around the world.
8:59 am
and that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world were not told or loved enough so i tell you i love you. i am obese across people watching those off and have a great day and night everyone. does their survival guide books they should use that wall to start simply at least for. the show you don't get a pass. oh no this is a repatriation scheme look at the rest the 70 or. so of the 70 year treasury for.
