host malachy mcourt. he wasaised in limerick, ireld. thank you veryuch for being on e program. >> i very glad to be ive. glad to be here. >> ande're glad you're amongst the living a with u thks. you know, weere thinking about this, ha to believe it's been 50 years since jo f. kenne was elected prident of the united states. all these yearslater, how had the irish regard the kennedys? they've always thought of them as speal. >> in the irish households, there were most all mtelpieces ha two phographs, one was john 23, and the other was j. and they werethe most proinent pies of-- of art in any irh house. there's terrif pride in the acmplishments of the kennedys. th came from -- poverty class. and it's interting how they -- they never fort where they

ca from. d that was the irish preach. >> i was going task. it's widely own that the keedy family went onto great wealth. ted kennedy, like his brothe jf they've always been associated with the workg man, the comm man. d i'm wondering how do the irish sort of see th they're wealthy ople but they seem to be people like us? >> they rember that no matter what university chr you get to new yo city matter what throne you were sent to, no matter at seatn government you get, you ill have to sit on your own arse. and they're aware of mortality because all of the trageds that have occurred in their families due to o thing or anoth or due to violence. and yet in a certainay, they aspire-- rose kennedy once said to one of jacs friends,

when are the resctable people of boston going to accept ? because they ner accepted the ish. because part of the ish -- rt of that class of person that came here, poverty gives you -- i inculcates youith a sense of shame, which takes carof the past. anfear, which takes care of the future. so shame is something u've done, tt's been done to you. and fear is,on't even bother coming up here. you'll never get anyere. but the kennys were able to dispose of thehame and dispose of the fear. >> what about edrd kennedy? was there a particular connection? he led for so long and he did so much both in thisountry and also iireland. >> he had to. here he dn't have the same charisma as joe, the broth that was killein the first world war. he didn'thave the tenacity

bobby,and he didn't have the charm of jack, which he -- which he acquired some of it, that so-called camelot charisma. buhe tued into the most -- e most sympathetic and charitable person he was catholic. not all cathols were christia but he was a christian in the true sense of theword, and i don't mean it in the kind of fuamentalist kind ofthing. >> you see himas having qualities different from his brothers that you jst outlined. >> because he had to overce the legd, the mystery, the charisma of three bthers aahead of him, and all of a sudden he becomes the patriarch this keedy family and as his mother said, luke, to which

much is given, much is expected. >> iant to thank you very much. it's beea pleasure. thank you very much. it'sreat to be here. thank you, malachy mccourt. it's falen out of the headlines in is country, we nted to devote some time tonight to an importt issue affecting many untries around e world, immigration,uch of it illegal. just this weekritainnd pakistan reaed an agreement at could result in the retur of thousands of pakistanis living illegally i the united kingdo the pakistani vernment will issue emergey passports to those bng relocated. they say the dea could be used to rid britain of suspeed rrorists. russia has a problem with illegal immigration, not unlike the united states. thousands upon thousands of people coming in fromther countries looking for work, looking for better lives. but for many of them, the's been a dramatic reversal of fortune. with russia hard-hit by the

recessn, much of the work that drew them has gone away. as hear in this report from moscow by neave barker of al jazeera english. >> repter: migrant wkers crowd the entrance to turkes cherkizoky market. when it closed down t months ago, up to100,000 pople om china,entral asia and stern euro were left in dire financial straits. dozens who came to russia ilgally have been deported. otrs have been left pondering an uncertain future. all they can do now is ther what remaini stock they can d leave. >> translar: i'm going home. i can't workn moscow anymore now that the market's cled. in other markets, t rent's too high. what can i do. >> reporter: in cherkizovsky markets spng up after the llapse of the soviet union and itbecame the bigge market. >> translator: we'veeen here for yes. look at all ofhe people he who n't have any work ymore. it's extremely d. >> reporter:housands worked d even lived in the market's

bustli alleyways. they had itsown courts, police and recordey even brothels all beyond the authorits control. but now that thearket has been shut down, it closesllptions for vast numer of workers who find it impoible to make a living anywhere else. theuthorities insist cherkizovsky was a hotbed of crime and a breedi ground for disease, but many say the market waslosed because it threatened russ's native workforce. >> this is a pr tetectionist measure, and whenhe world papers revealedheonfidential docunt of the minister of trade, i think, which says that the biggest answer for russian-li industry because of the competition of cheap goods from -- th are imported actually in russia des not allow the russiaindustry to develo >> reporter: but all of th leaves thousan of peoe, many

of them escaping poverty at home, in a precarious sition. >> translator: most of the people who lost their work are refugees. these people canot go back to their country. theyill be in a veryifficult situation there. they cannot even thi about going back. >> reporter: rsia has the second lgest migrant workforce in the world after theunited statesbut as the country ruggles with the fallout of the economic crisis, ma migrants who came to rssia looking for a better life have been lef with nhing but rdship. neave bker, al jazeera, moscow. much of the ameran media's covera about mexico and central america focuses on immigrion issues. but tonight we want to explore another ory emerging i that rt of the world, the decriminalization ofrugs. last weekhe mexican goverent annoced that it will no longe jail users of smallmounts of marijua, cocaine and heroin. d other countries in that region have ten sim steps.

what's it all about, for mre we are joined tonight from washington by john lsh. is a senior associate on drug poli for the washington oice on latin america which describes itself as ahink tank adcacy group promoting human rights anddemocracy in latin america. welcome to t program. first, tell us moreabout what these new laws in xico are. >> well, eentially they decriminizepossession for personalonsumption across a range of ecit substances, whether it'smarijuana or cocaine,nd th mexicanaw, while new for mexico, is not necearily new f latin america. there are similar decriminalizatn statutes up and down th continent, a it's a growing movement with recent argentine court decisions opening doorthe door to a simil reform in that untry. >> what'behind the decision to decriminalize drugs? >> i think in latin amera, including mexico, tere's a fatiguwith amodel of zero

tolerance that insists on criminal sanctionsor even the smallest leve of use, including in private, d that it's a diversion of sources that cld be better focused on ghting the drug cartels and large organiz crime. in latin erica in jrnal, there's sense that when it comes to the drug w that the united states particular has en pushing for the past seral decades, the little guy always losesout, butthe people with more powernd more mney never pay the pri, and i ink that's a lotf the motivation behind this as well. >> offials in the unite states had expressed concerns, and i'm wonring, what arehey worried about? >> ll, if they're concerned about the impact on drug trafficking towas the u.s. market, 's misaced because this doesn't reallyhave much to do with that all. if they'reoncerned that mico as a close ally i close cooperation with the.s. on drugolicy is settin a example to oth countries in the regionhat you don't have to go itthe way the u.s. has been saying, then i can see why

u.s. offials may be concerned. >> i'm curious, y know, we obviously know that latin america nations may invoed in as faas being part the pathway by which illegal drug enter the united states but i wa not awe that there were probls with their own dostic consumion. is that a growing market for the drugtraffickers? >> theata is notvery strong in general, but it seems to be the case at mrketsare growing and while the prlems of dru abus are not nearly the same high levels thathe united stat hasexperienced for years now, th do seem to be growing, and inmanycases, the countries are unequipped to de with it as a health problem, and that's another asct of th reform is to put more fus on dealing with the drug abus issue as a public health crisis. >> and with only about 20 seconds left, what impact do you ink this wiave on the larger w on drugs in mexico and in the u.s.? >> well, i tnk in the lonr

run it's going to continue to lp push the sift towards a more nuance se of policies abt how to deal with drug use. by not criminalizing everyast personnd being able to focus resources with more public suppt on the real problems, which are crime and violence. in the mium and ev short term with regard to mecan trafficking into the u.s., the big questi is, wat is the u.s. goingo do t address i drug demd? and i thinkhat's a legitimate question for mexicans who kn morehan anybody else howhat ha affecd them. >>ohn walsh, thanks very mu for talking with us tonight. >> thanks, a please. at brings us to our segment, "how you see ." and we'dike to hear from you on ts question of rlaxing the druglaws. is mexico tang the right apprch in ending e prosecution of people caught with small amots of marijuana and other drug you can tel us what you tnk about going to "how you see it,"

that section at the home page on the wsite of orldfocus.org. > last night we asked you what thought it would take reach peace beeen the israelis and palestinians. and, again, a lot of you weied in. one viewer wrote, our tax doars help israel seize and occupy palestinian las, demolish the homes, destroy theirrchards and ancient olive trees, img prison them behind the walls, prisonhem in lestinian jails, dny the population access to water, od, medical re, education, jobs this is a major stacle to peace. buanother viewer told us to reach peace in t middle east, the 56 muslim cotries must finally accept the right of the jewi state to exist, as enshned in international law by the council of the league of nations in 1922, which clrly ruled that palesne is the jewish national home and to finay accepthe u.n. solution that authorizedhe jewish stateo come into being.
