there have been self there gratian policies in existence in countries like malta argentina and ireland for a number of years and the feared adverse consequences have not happened now of course there will be occasionally one or 2 instances or maybe even 3 or 4 out of millions and millions of people where a trans person does something wrong but this is no reason to diminish the rights of trans people in general we have to identify the bad people and isolate them and protect those they could potentially harm but we mustn't use their bad behavior. as a reason to in general diminish the rights and freedoms of trans people. are mostly so by the way there was a slight law. which wides wrote to didn't mean to do that but all on the mo more important point lot you know peter is talking about the balance between rights he's absolutely right we do have a right as owners of our bodies to do with it what we well i'm not concerned about the science of brain gender or anything like that i simply say if you wish to transition from a man to a woman you own your body and you have the right to do it but

that's right gratian really wasn't a palestine but we have thought through him but the true until the he's career really seems to have you know been marked by a series of hits and misses you know for example just before this act he told a reporter that he had successfully carried out this stunt at the exact same spot 21 years ago yet in 2013 he had attended the same stunt on the hooghly river and apparently that had gone wrong he was apparently assaulted by a crowd of onlookers who fans cheated because they saw him escape from a lock each by a door that was clearly visible he was apparently punched and beaten his trademark of you know flowing golden brown squared off and 10 years earlier he had also declared that he planned to to walk the walk on the river who would leave but that also apparently misfired and he had to abandon that effort denisov all the rules and regulations in place what about the officialdom here. to follow certain procedures to ensure that this committee says well british to the best of my knowledge i have truly come across any rules or regulations governing these

that certainly will i think that as you know president trump has made by gratian the centerpiece of his political brand it resonates very well with his political base and all of his talk and rhetoric about building a wall on the border about the dangers of migrants coming in the united states are just basically the part and parcel of his political appeal such as it is however there's a downside to this for the president in so far as the tariffs are opposed by business groups by politicians and economists including a political. and economic consulting group based in texas called the perry man group said that the tariffs if imposed could shave more than $40000000000.00 off of the u.s. g.n.p. gross to g.d.p. gross domestic product and cost up to 400000 jobs so that's not going to be politically advantageous from the president and not to mention the fact that u.s. supermarket customers may find their cars.

unlike gratian in 2015 that's true so that she has left a legacy but you know there's there's a lot of problems that she can't deal with because she's a lame duck she did that intentionally technically to hold on to power ok enough about anglo-american for just a moment kotler let tell us about the backdrop so a lot of what we're talking about here is this notion of the german folks. and the idea that they are. pretty much terminal demise what do you make of what can you explain it's a little bit for our viewers as well this traditional system is probably history now the latest european election results have shown that the traditional me and. post-war germany west germany and complete so many we had 2 camps center right center left and 2 big parties one to the right the christian democrats and one minute but to the left the social democrats. and the idea was that these 2 parties always could get a majority and that they had different concepts and if one government was not delivering anymore the other could take over and having these 3 grand coalitions with until america already. this w

historic victory for their red block in the parliament a center left parties back to number of and hima gratian measures over the years including bans on the burqa and niqab and the complication of valuable for migrants who arrive in the country they also voted in favor of doubling penalties for crimes in so-called migrant ghetto areas and pushed for making daycare mandatory in disadvantaged areas with parents who refused to send their children there losing their social benefit payment the party defended its stance saying that these are the problems the people wanted to be solved in that immigration has to be controlled we heard from a member of germany's left party who says denmark social democrats are tackling all the issues are on voters' minds right now. and what the dentist voters care about is what they do want to their government and their track record that is the very role social welfare and that's what but most of the danish voters they want to see them break their social welfare system and they want to do that not at the expense of immigrants but they very much want to see immigrants

piece is something he was using as a slogan during his he's a he's campaign and he's you know gratian exactly so i think this is the signal that should be sent and my last question is about syria really your last question it is in general washington the line has syria been relatively calm even though donald trump. to iran and russia saying stop bombing it but this really disappeared in a sense from the international media spectrum in the recent months what's going on because the scenario which was prepared for syria by western states was not realized they failed with the concept all with always. ah so. must go concept was not realized and now when the terrorism is not fully conquered stops in syria and syrian people have a real chance to feel they have huge share they are you bring you peace will life i think they just lost any sort of interest of this country they did not want to support it they did not want. to the. syrian economy just no interest. nothing nothing to fish around so interesting maria thank you very much let's just stand here for a 2nd because i would like to remind o

for the interior for that these suspects has been confessing after an investigation and an interim gratian last night and what's happening now is of course that this is that the investigation is going further the authorities already have said of course with the investigation and with the confession alone the investigation into these suspected murder of vata look is not going to and they're still going to be a trial and right now we're just waiting what's going to come forward from the committee for internal affairs right so max this means this is not the end of the investigation. no especially what is important to realize now is going to see how the several investigative authorities that are part of that investigation are going to look at this case and what role they are also played in contributing to the investigation we've seen in recent years that there was a lot of talk about what role german authorities play in the fight of crimes of foreign extremism we've seen in the very prominent case of the and as you trolls that there was also suspicion of sabotage and not in the investing of al

in that so i think it's appalling and it's deadly gratian of men don't want to see stereotypes and visions of us. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q thanks for joining us this hour. the u.s. and iran are stepping up the blame game over a suspected attack on 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman washington's acting defense secretary though claims america is simply trying to build agreement on what happened. i think as you can tell we have an international situation there and annoying this is not a us situation and the focus for myself and embassador bolton secretary pompei o is to build international consensus to this international problem. earlier the u.s. presented this video claiming it shows iranians removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels and no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out the attack the tankers owner though says his career port of the vessel being hit by flying projectiles tear on brown's america statements sabotaged diplomacy accusing the u.s. of destabilizing peace and security in the region. will it be over the last 2

time ok ok jordan thank you for that update from washington we're going to pick up on that notify me gratian and bring in robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic poly policy institute is joining us via skype from maryland good to speak with you again on al-jazeera robert scott we'll get into the issues of the exact tariffs in a moment but 1st let me ask you this so trump and the white house they're asking for substantial progress from mexico when it comes to the issue of stemming the flow of migrants so do these tariffs then help the immigration policy in any way. not in my view trade and immigration policy are not and should not be connected i think we really have to understand a little bit about what's going on at the border we do not have an immigration crisis in fact under authorized immigration is at the lowest level in a decade what we have is a refugee crisis. 61 percent of the people that arrived here in january were families and children these are people largely coming from honduras guatemala and el salvador that are have been traumatized by drug wars and th

what this does is it shows 1st of all just how intense and focused president trump is on this might gratian issue on control of the u.s. border with mexico but it absolutely holds some risks it risk contaminating the entire relationship it risks preventing the passage of the u.s. m.c.a. renegotiated version of nafta in the congress of mexico and potentially also in the united states it puts at risk actually the very cooperation on migration issues it's true that in the 1st 2 months of the new administration in mexico in december in january there was there were more of fish visas issued to central american migrants and fewer detentions and deportations of central american migrants but at the u.s. urging in recent months mexico has been working very hard to not just try to protect migrants and their human rights but also to work on deterrence with the united states so there's not such a massive flow of migrants coming from central america so to have a threat of terror of starting at a 5 percent level just rising and rising and rising throughout the fall if the numbers don't drop it strikes me

gratian on friday trump threatened to impose tariffs on mexico if it doesn't stop migrants from entering the u.s. in what appears to be an attempt to this fuse the standoff mexico's president has hinted at tighter migration controls and dress money were lopez obrador says also he hopes he won't need to resort to legal action. in. their international options that we could turn to if we think that won't be necessary that we will achieve a good agreement through dialogue and we won't resort to legal processes we want to maintain good relations with the government of the united states so the u.s. is also ending a decades long preferential trade agreements with india and then as of saturday american ports began collecting 25 percent tariffs on several goods coming from china while beijing's retaliatory taxes on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. products have also come into effect we'll have more on that a little later but 1st developments between mexico and the u.s. john holeman is in mexico city we'll speak to him in just a moment after we speak to rouse in jordan in washington d c so what more
