u.s. president donald trump has again been talking tough on illegal immigration he likened a caravan of central american migrants headed to the u.s. border to an invasion and what they would not be allowed to stay. some people call it an invasion it's like an invasion they are violently overrun the mexican border you saw that two days ago. these are tough people in many cases lot of young men strong men and a lot of men that maybe we don't want in our country but again we'll find that out through the legal process but they've overrun the mexican police and they've overrun and hurt badly mexican soldiers so this isn't an innocent group of people and i sense from one issue castro in washington d.c. heidi a lot of rhetoric that was very specific policy announcement. well it was interesting lauren because the big announcement was basically that there will be an announcement in a week that trump will take some sort of executive action in response to this caravan that is now still more than a thousand kilometers away from the u.s. border but notably in a week's time they'll be after the u.s. midterm

history has shown when the u.s. has applied pressure, iran has been defiant. that's one of the hallmarks of the islamic revolution, to defy the u.s. just look back at the past few years. it was under heavy u.s. sanctions, international sanctions, that iran made the most advancements on its nuclear program. it was under sanctions, four, fave, six years ago that iran increased its activity in the region in places like iraq and syria. in contrast, look what happened when iran got some respect from the u.s. and the international community during the negotiations for the nuclear deal, when they sat down as equals. that's when iran agreed to curb its nuclear program, agreed to the toughest inspection regime in the u.n. and the u.n.n. watc dogs. the history shows they don't back down to u.s. pressure. genie: now the french prime minister devoured philippe is in new caledonia today one day after the pacific territory vote today remain part of france. close to 57% of voters rejected independence for new caledonia. that is a win for france but not quite as big a victory

u.s. reaction has there been any reaction there yet gaev. not officially either from the white house or the state department no reaction yet on this saturday morning here in washington but i can tell you that there certainly is going to be a lot of lawmakers here and powerful people in this city that are looking at this very very closely because make no doubt about it now that we know that the u.s. government has been given these tapes that is going to dramatically ramp up the pressure here on lawmakers and primarily on the white house to reveal what was on those tapes and how high that goes to the saudi government those are the key key questions because up until now the u.s. has been very very quiet in still now i should say very quiet about what they know let's remember that it was on october seventeenth that secretary of state's mike pompei o went to saudi arabia and then to turkey on a fact finding mission at that time he denied hearing or seeing these tapes a week later cia director gina haskell went to turkey to hear what evidence the

u.s. government has reached a conclusion on the show be killing what the u.s. media has reported is that the cia concluded that the saudi crown prince was behind the killing but it's the u.s. media didn't say that the u.s. government had reached a consensus on the origins of this of this killing but what is clear now is that there is a rift between the white house and the state department on one side and members of congress and the cia on the other side while the trumpet appears to be trying not to blame the crown prince for the killing most experts inside and outside the government think that the crown prince is behind the killing of course shogi. well michael why is president so reluctant to put blame on the crown prince well there are several reasons for this one is that trump view was the saudis is a key ally in the fight against iran and iran's influence in in the region and so if you would come down hard on on the saudis that would help boost iran according to his thinking the second reason is business the saudis are a key business partner off the u.s. esp

but turkey says the u.s. has to sever all ties with the wire p.g.and this warning of a major offensive against kurdish militias in northeastern syria would stick around countries that support their y.p. genius to question their fight against terrorism because any support of the white b.g. directly or indirectly is given to their terrorist organization trump. said recently they were hoping to set aside their differences and start a new chapter in relations between the two countries but they have a number of issues to resolve including the war in syria sanctions on iran the gulf cooperation council crisis and the hot shots the killing the murder of jamal khashoggi could undermine chances to improve turkish american relations the government here is concerned president tran might ultimately use his leverage to shield the saudi crown prince from further scrutiny and international pressure despite turkey's insistence the case won't and until the saudis say who gave the order to kill the journalist. as the pressure builds on the u.s. over its links with sa

diplomats and indeed their families forcing them essentially to leave the united states and also the u.s. has cut funding to united nations organizations like annorah providing assistance in areas like gaza so the u.s. administration has made very clear all along that its major aim is the security of israel this peace initiative as president trump would describe he wants to put on the table but as we continually state the palestinians will have nothing to do with it so the whole events of what is happening in gaza obviously could impact on the timetable of president trump's attempt but certainly is not likely to stop him trying to bring forth this initiative as he puts it mike thank you very much for that for that for now that is mike hanna live and washington d.c. let's hear now from one diplomatic it's james bays who's in paris and he talked to us earlier saying that the raid would likely be a focus of talks between world leaders who are in the french capital. i think it's likely in the coming hours the focus of diplomacy may well be here in the french capital because of the commemorations

u.s. economy so what's at stake with this election. well i mean history has shown that even if we would get a split congress does not necessarily have to be bad for the u.s. economy let's say that republicans would you lose the majority in congress that would make it probably nearly impossible for us president. to push through new text cuts we also might see more investigations into the u.s. president himself that could pose some uncertainty but also if we look at wall street to what is not necessarily the same as the u.s. economy actually the stock market has done well after midterm elections no matter what the outcome. and the latest economic numbers of course look so good from wall street so where exactly is the gap with main street. well i mean if you travel the country you see for higher signs popping up in many areas in the united states we just last week got the biggest the wage increase in almost a decade the unemployment rate being at the lowest level in almost fifty years of consumer confidence being the highest in about eighteen years so americans
