After the arrest of a worker at the u. S. Embassy in ankara and a warrant issued for another the us took the unusual step of saying they would stop issuing visas for some turkish nationals traveling to america the first explanation was posted by the u. S. Ambassador to turkey on twitter we dont know if these arrests are singular events or if we should expect other turkish Staff Members to be arrested turkey quickly followed suit with similar measures but president rich a type one said he did it reluctantly and on kind of this is a very sad decision and the ambassador has taken a decision and started implementing it so its a source of sadness. This is just the latest in a growing list of diplomatic back and forth the relationship between these two nato allies started souring during the Syrian Civil War turkey upset the us didnt do enough against the Assad Government even angrier when the u. S. Backed kurdish fighters and later armed them. Then last years coup attempt and it got worse blame to clerics between the golan who lives in the u. S. They wanted him extradited for his alleged role the Obama Administration refused and the Trump Administration hasnt moved on it either that was a big issue when he first met President Donald Trump but that was overshadowed by what happened when he left the oval office.

S. For allegedly helping turkey of aid sanctions against iran and its less a matter of wanting it back than wanting the case to go away it wanting him not to testify not wanting any of the details about their role in helping iran evade sanctions coming out in the course of a trial it will be yet another chance for the already frosty relationship to cool even more political when aljazeera washington. Lets move on to other news now in the rate of return the refugees fleeing violence and has again increased following along in recent days almost five hundred and twenty thousand have now crossed into bondage there since the latest military crackdown began six weeks ago lets go to our correspondent at yahoo mail him now shes in yangon myanmar largest city reports of around ten thousand people fleeing on monday why are we seeing this increase yada. Well we know that there has been violence since late august initiated by militant military campaign against the rangers well as well as vigilantes the United Nations office for humanitarian affairs has also said that there is a new wave of displacement of refugees and thats not just due to the violence but because people are going hungry youve got to remember that now the people that have the river that are left in north right in the in the conflict zone. Many in hmong door which is the epicenter of the conflict people there say theyre going hungry this is the lean season people and people who are living on a subsistence existence now have restrictions on movements they cant access their fields they cant go fishing they cant access markets so its making an already very poor group of and marginalized people who are in desperate need of aid. Becoming even more isolated now were also finding that we also received video of rohini who are living in hmong door at the moment they said that they show it showed families saying that theyre going hungry and theyre going to take the desperate decision to leave for bangladesh because they hear relatives on the other side saying that there is food there is shelter come here and youll be taken care of weve also received video of livestock that once belonged to. Community is being paraded through the market without any of the river or residents being able to to buy such livestock so its an increasingly precarious situation for those rest for those who are huge or who are remaining in the. Conflict zone and it only increases the urgency of course for from the United Nations for an increase or opening the back line state to aid from organizations like the un and other aid organizations or iraq yeah thank you very much for that for now thats yahoo mail have joining us live from yangon thank you. Trumps wish to withdraw from the nuclear deal from the Iran Nuclear Deal has been endorsed has to be endorsed rather by the u. S. Senate but his latest target on twitter happens to be the influential republican head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as alan fischer reports from washington thomas relationship with bob corker it is going to rapidly downhill i personally have no bob corker has a reputation as a reliable republican which makes his attack on the president even more remarkable in that interview with the New York Times he accused donald trump of treating the office of president like a reality show but he warned his reckless threats on twitter could set the u. S. On the path to World War Three such is the risk says the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he says i know for a fact that every single day at the white house its a situation of trying to contain him its not the first time bob corker has spoken out against the president after noting last week he wasnt going to run for the senate again he felt bold enough to say this i think. Secretary tellers and secretary mabus and. Chief of staff kelly. Are. Those people that help separate our country from chaos that candor seems to upset President Trump he took to twitter to claim that corker begged him to back him in the senate race but he refused that he asked to be secretary of state and was rejected and then you know expected corker to be a negative voice corker decided not to let that pass remember this is an open exchange from two Senior Republicans he responded its a shame the white house has become an Adult Daycare Center someone obviously missed their shift this morning he then followed up with the interview with the New York Times im hoping that more senators will really i go to her sad and really perhaps put some pressure on the white house to tighten their act and really let some control on this president corker is said to be close to secretary of state Rex Tillerson who held a News Conference last week to reaffirm his support for the president after it was claimed he called mr trump a moron let me tell you what ive learned about this president whom i did not know before taking this office he loves this country he puts americans and America First a smart center corker still has more than a year of his final senate term to run and could cause issues for the president and his agenda if his feud with the white house continues and if other senators actually break ranks and express the concerns senator corker insists they also have alan fischer ill just you know washington.

Across the her im a river valley you can see madrid away in the distance. The people here maintain the relics of war in tribute to the vicious history of spain. Eighty years ago the forces of fascism try to encircle madrid the battle of parama is legendary this incline was called suicide hill by the anti fascist brigades twenty thousand died stopping franco from taking the capital. Basis was eleven and nine hundred thirty seven ninety one his memory is undimmed. Your number there more coriander like of what my mother and i run to a house looking for shelter we thought it was the end of the world we heard the explosions they made a great impression on me i understood then that we were at war. At the local museum you can see how outgunned the empty fascists were faced with the aircraft and tanks at francos disposal these men and women came from across spain and far beyond to protect york from fascism only two years before the outbreak of world war two. And then i think if were going to. Madrid was called the heroic city they fought tooth and nail if madrid fell the next poets agree franco would have won the war sooner they want to talk all about this here because its so important not only for historians what happened here eighty years ago plays directly into the sense of outrage that many spanish people have about whats happening in catalonia right now the capsule as they say are using the campaign from dependence as a historical crutch to cover up their own sense of entitlement and victimhood the sense that the cats lands were the only people who suffered under franco when actually much of the rest of spain did too. In the nearby town which is nothing like as rich as much of modern catalonia the spanish flags are out in force large parts of spain suffered starvation after the war they will do it but the claims of the council are leadership for special sympathy and i looked you up in april but here we are sad and worried we cant repeat history during the civil war the town square was washed in blood it was only one region that was suffering history can be read in more than one way.

Four weeks after hurricane wilma struck the florida keys piles of debris still litter this chain of islands and it was one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the keys to clean up operation is time consuming costly but vital to the local economy this is the Central Location where they bring all the debris Officials Say much is already been achieved but visitors may have to temper their expectations just be mindful that were not quite the same place as we were before hurricane here but were working really quickly and we hope by christmas time most of the places youll never even know that we had a hurricane. On our marauder Robbies Marina is already showing signs of a strong recovery like many homes and businesses here it suffered major structural damage with the help of friends and family that reopened soon after the storm passed and ive heard of a lot of groups just randomly going together and going each property by property just to see if someone needs help sell it our community is truly very strong for those that lost their homes recovery will be along the road one helped by a steady increase in tours of whats been very opening and its very pleasant to see the resiliency of the people down here and just picking up and moving forward and not letting it get him down. For a chain of islands already vulnerable to Climate Change this community has shown itself to be incredibly robust but theres still a huge cleanup operation that has to be completed those that lost their homes have a long way to go and there are yet more calls for federal aid but tourism is the lifeblood of these islands and once that gets back into places people are telling as it already is and the florida keys can truly get back to normal and they gallacher aljazeera i love marauder in the florida keys. The trumpet ministration is taking aim at yet another obama era Climate Change initiative the head of the Environmental Protection agency says rules limiting promotion from power plants are to be scrapped but as diane estimates reports plans are already under way to force officials to or the turned the decision. Calling an end to the war on coal scott pruitt administrator of the u. S. Environmental Protection Agency says hell issue new rules to repeal the Clean Power Plants in the parish climate according to the move comes just months after President Donald Trump announced the u. S. Will pull out of the Paris Climate Accord during a visit to the big coal mining state of kentucky on monday pruitt said the rule was really about picking winners and losers Regulatory Power should not be used by regulatory bodies to pick winners and losers environmental groups argue the plan is about saving lives the estimates were that it would save three thousand six hundred premature deaths tens of thousands of asthma attacks and our kids hundreds of thousands of job hours theyre lost every year because people are getting out of attacks and are too sick to go to work the Clean Power Plant is part of the Clean Air Act and was put in place by president barack obama to reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions by twenty thirty it sets emission targets for each state in line with the amount of energy they use and gives them flexibility in meeting those targets but the plan has been a sore point with the fossil fuel industry President Trump a Climate Change skeptic made a Campaign Promise to revive u. S. Coal and support other fossil fuels vowing to scrap the Clean Power Plant and withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord pruitt was the ideal u. S. Administrator to help him carry out that mission as attorney general of oklahoma pruitt joined attorney generals from two dozen states in a suit challenging the Obama Administrations efforts to curb Greenhouse Gas emissions its unclear if pruitt will replace the Clean Power Plan with another rule the e. P. A. Is likely to face legal challenges from environmental groups over the repeal and one such group the Natural Resources Defense Council says its already contemplating a lawsuit Diane Estabrook aljazeera washington. More than one thousand six hundred people are facing mass trials and nigeria accused of being members of the rebel Group Boko Haram the trials are being held behind closed doors at a military facility Rights Groups say theyre worried about the lack of transparency its estimated twenty thousand people have been killed and millions displays during eight years of fighting between Government Troops and the armed group. John campbell is a former u. S. Ambassador to nigeria and he says the International Community needs to keep a close eye on my jury is judicial process. We should be concerned because we will have no independent way of verifying how fair the trials are but there are other reasons to be concerned as well i think first of all the numbers to be tried are very large sixteen hundred at least at first there are only four judges that have been chosen to conduct the trials. That means the trials will either be very quick or the whole process will go on for a long time and then finally most of those who are being tried have been detained without charge for a relatively long period of time and one has to question whether or not evidence has been gathered by the authorities or whether their detention was simply arbitrary the conditions of night in nigeria and places of detention are pretty bad Amnesty International for example has estimated that some thousands of detainees have died mostly from disease lack of water lack of food so yes the fact that the trials are going ahead means that there is a judicial process in place it remains to be seen whether it will be fair.

D. P. The aim is that south korea will gain the kind of military selfreliance that it can launch if it has to for example preemptive strikes against north Korean Missile missile bases instead of relying upon the United States forces it is all the way of boosting its own sense of deterrence giving them the build up of the north Korean Nuclear threat moon jay is the president is a liberal he says he wants dialogue with the north but since coming to power he has stressed that it has to go hand in hand with a stronger military very much a case of walking softly but with a big stick.
