Us President Donald Trump says he wants to shut down the visa program which allowed the suspect in the new york truck attack to enter the country so full of came to the u. S. From his back is done in two thousand and ten under the Diversity Visa Lottery Program better known as the green card lottery eight people were killed and eleven of his injured when the pickup truck plowed into cyclists and pedestrians in manhattan trump said hes now taking steps to end the visa program as soon as possible i am today starting the process of terminating the diversity lottery program. Im going to ask congress to im really. Initiate work to get rid of this Program Diverse array. And diversion the lottery diversity lottery sound charge its not nice of our good start going it hasnt been good weve been against it of more in this light speech i want house correspondent kimberly how of course President Trumps crackdown on immigration is nothing new what is the significance of this announcement on this on the Green Card Program thats been in place now. I well i think whats significant is the president s reaction to a tragedy that has occurred its a sharp contrast from what we saw from george w. Bush when the september eleventh attacks occurred that certainly is one point that many have noticed here in the United States while george w. Bush used his opportunity as president to try and comfort those who are grieving what weve seen President Trump do in contrast is to use the attacks to advocate for immigration policies that are somewhat controversial in the United States as you point out hes using this is an opportunity to end the Diversity Visa Program which has long been contentious in the United States but did offer those from countries that dont typically have a lot of immigration to the u. S. Not only a green card but a path to citizenship now the president not only speaking here at the white house but in a series of tweets has criticized this program pointing to it as a source of National Security risk but also to blaming democrats for any opposition to his proposals to reform immigration the United States specifically a top democrat here in the United States Senate Charles schumer calling him in fact somebody who is to blame for this program not surprisingly Chuck Schumer on the floor of the senate responded to all of these attacks by the president saying that essentially the president is politicizing a tragedy and also is showing a lack of leadership when it is needed most. So hes now entered into a war of was with Chuck Schumer as you say cant believe where does it go from here hes saying he wants to start the process to end this program a. S. A. P. Does it go to congress now well certainly not only does it go to congress because of course the president cannot act unilaterally on programs that the congress has put in place but also to there are some things the president can do under his executive authority he announced almost immediately after the attacks that he was stepping up his extreme vetting through the department of Homeland Security and as you know the president has long been trying to revamp immigration under the argument that there is a need for stepped up National Security since he was elected on january twentieth or rather put in sworn into office and you put in place various versions of the travel ban which have been altered as well as challenged in court but you have to remember too this is what donald trump campaigned on he said it on the campaign trail he was going to do it now that hes in office hes been trying rather vigorously to try and do it in snow using this attack in new york as further argument of why there is a need for very swift immigration reforms in the United States all right thank you very much kimberly ok Tim Washington d.

Aljazeera was last here almost three weeks ago and this is where i have to have a visa for permission to enter the gaza strip. Now its been taken apart. The. Mediators from egypt along with officials from hamas and fatah oversaw the handover part of hamas is agreement to return control of gaza to the Palestinian Authority this is got to be the end of the division shylock this is the first time to be the end of the journey because we see everything is was very easy as you said. This is the seventh attempt i was doing in reconciliation in gaza in the last ten years but this is the first time that weve seen the physical tearing down of hamas is institutions here and its that its giving weary palestinians in gaza a faint glimmer of hope this time reconciliation might just work. The cost of living should also come down hamas used to levy taxes on goods and food a car could be twenty five percent more expensive here than in the west bank thats now stopped. At this crossing the handover of power will have little Practical Impact for palestinians because israel lets hardly anyone leave the few that left today were hopeful the conditions might improve.

The Palestinian Authority says that its planning to sue the British Government over the Balfour Declaration the policy statement that pave the way for the creation of israel protests in bethlehem in the occupied west bank made an effigy of off about for it was britains foreign secretary on november second one thousand nine hundred seventeen when the declaration was signed many palestinians blame bell first pledge for a century of conflict that led ensued meanwhile as far in bethlehem the british artist banksy has been marking the anniversary in his own unique way as are a force that reports. In the occupied west bank a twisted version of a british street party to mark the hundred year legacy of the Balfour Declaration its the work of street artist banksy outside his bethlehem hoto the guests of honor palestinian children from nearby refugee camps and her majesty Queen Elizabeth the second sort of. Sort of saying sorry. To support of the National Aspirations of a people whod suffered discrimination and violence for hundreds of years the wording of the declaration contained a disparity thats borne bitter fruit in the hundred years since promising a National Home for the then and future jewish immigrants while only safeguarding or committing to the civil and religious rights of the non jews who lived in palestine of a time ninety percent of the population. Study on the other side of the separation barrier students and academics at Hebrew University debate its consequences it was one in monger many and gave a very important thing for the corporation but nevertheless what happened on the galant was even more important what happened on the ground happened under the author of the british mandate which began a year after the declaration in centers like Jaffa Palestinian economic and cultural life emerging from autumn and rule was beginning to flourish at the same time jewish immigration accelerated the zionist project already underway now had the support of a major nation to do i thought the beginning of israel and also the beginning of the recognition of israel by the world wide net effect of the Balfour Declaration deprive many of their property as nine one of them i mean refugee i live in to flood refugio camp i cant go back to my original village. By the one nine hundred forty s. Britain worried about a forcible creation of a jewish state was attempting to hold back jewish immigration now the zionists targeted the british ninety one people were killed in the bombing of mandate headquarters at jerusalems king david hotel. Holocaust global sympathy for the jewish cause surged in one hundred forty eight when the british withdrew the state of israel was declared the palestinians that moment is remembered as the nakba.

We wont settle for an apology return what you made us lose then well accept the apology. And in bethlehem Palestinian Protesters werent settling for a british commemoration no matter how satirical for them the centuries since the Balfour Declaration has been one of displacement disposition and Occupation Army forces. In the occupied west bank. Now have been violent protests in the capital of eritrea an Opposition Group says at least twenty eight people have been killed in. And more than one hundred people injured although these claims calm independently verified a spokesman from the rights democratic organizations says the protest was sparked by government attempts to close a Muslim Community school the u. S. Embassy in eritrea reported gunfire at several locations in a. Day. Also long kidani is the director of the Human Rights Group release eritrea she joins me in the studio now thank you very much for taking the time to come and speak to us how important is it that this kind of protest is even taking place in eritrea and then also the fact that people willing to upload the footage and share on social media its extremely important the last time civilians. Attempted to protest in eritrea i remember was in two thousand one and that was University Students at the time and it was relatively contained within the University Communities this is High School Students and their parents and its in the streets of us tomorrow and pretty just were taken and applauded and shared and people didnt mind that they would seem to be doing this so its very significant when you say that the people that were uploading the footage how is it that because they live in very difficult conditions and freedom of speech is extremely restricted so how is it that they were unafraid to show their faces thats thats the wonder really but there then but the thing is over the weekend and the over the last. From about the fifteenth of october own words there was this unprecedented boldness as well because the the the pupils were protesting because their teachers and the heads of the head of the school were arrested and but the head of the school had actually conducted a meeting and has been very damning against the government and whats what the steps that the government is taking and that that speech was recorded that speech was also uploaded so it is its been a whole community as well so that thats whats make making it so president and for us what do you make of the governments response are they taking this seriously i think its him yes that they should that they should take arms against effectively High School Students and their parents thats. It started out so i think theyre taking it extremely silly neurotically seriously actually to shoot at. Children thats what theyre doing but also there has been funny responses on twitter there hasnt been any off. Acknowledgement or any official. Statement pertaining this but on twitter the information minister actually tried to play it down and accuse the people who were actually breaking it into the International News what do you know about the ethnic religious make up of those involved in these demonstrations did it cross go across those boundaries are definitely i mean as marriage is a very mixed city anyway and its very difficult to imagine all those people just coming from one community of course the. Sportswear where all the coordination must have taken place and the source of the anger is the closure of that Islamic School but it was joined by members of the extended community as well and incidentally although this park was that school it wasnt the only school that was shut so there was two other christians with a Catholic School and. A roman Catholic School and an Orthodox School were also shot and so given that this is happened to a number of institutions could this rare display of Public Public protest embolden further unrest. Well already theres a lot of tensions theres a lot of military presence in the area where the school is. And a lot of people have been taken to prison and if we go by how the government of their town dealt with some. Situations in the past yes there will be there im afraid there will be a lot of her breasts follow so long danny from release eritrea thank you for speaking to us and.

A summit in brazil is looking at ways to eliminate Viral Hepatitis which kills more than one point three Million People around the world each year thats more than all other chronic illnesses including hiv well leiria and tuberculosis daniel has more. Theyve all recovered from hepatitis c. Theyre relieved and grateful and want to pass on their experiences to help in the fight against the disease their group when a good life meets frequently what osiris to help new sufferers and raise awareness. Principle i aim is to give information the patient arrives with little knowledge and is shocked after being diagnosed with a chronic illness the patient thinks theyre going to die so we start to tell them what is happening and why hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver tissue some have no early symptoms while others develop jaundice and suffer vomiting hardness and abdominal pain it may be temporary or long term. Had to liver transplants. The virus returned four months after the second transplant and put the liver at risk the truth is i didnt have much hope but thank god i was given this new treatment and it cured me pretty much one hundred percent. After thirteen years with the disease hes now healthy the whole group watching developments in sao paolo with interest hepatitis is a global problem but the solution is also global each country with its own characteristics coming together in the south to share their experiences in the fight to eliminate the disease by twenty thirty argentina is one of the few countries to have a National Program to fight the disease scientists and Health Experts work with governments and Civic Society for the sufferers a model the World Health Organization and World Hepatitis Alliance is keen to promote in sao paolo from. While her but i did point of view we heard a lot of. Tools to get that control we have back things for all of the riders whos already has a vaccine nowadays and also. Innovation with the treatment with a new director and the variables that are so effective in controlled infection anyone who talked about it by the see the cure the target at the cell paolo summit is to focus on the fight to eliminate Viral Hepatitis by twenty thirty the challenge to raise awareness raise the funding the sure the all the working together against the disease that no one should have to suffer from daniel joins us live now from the world have a tighter summit in sao paolo so who is represented there and what are they trying to do you daniel. Well miami is quite a gathering we have the World Health Organization the World Hepatitis Alliance would one hundred ninety countries have signed up to this pledge to try to eliminate the disease eighty also have their Health Ministers other government representatives here with that aim to wipe out to eliminate the disease by the year twenty thirty one of those instrumental in that fight is the world Titus Alliance and with me now is the c. E. O. Of that alliance pac. Its a huge undertaking its a big ambition and one of the challenges your be facing in trying to eliminate the disease by twenty thirty right so right now we have about three hundred twenty five Million People with a disease out there and does it today make a ready kills more than hiv kills more than malaria and the biggest challenge really is that out of this three hundred twenty five million upwards of two hundred ninety million do not know theyre infected dont know that they have the condition so theyre walking out there we verify it is b. Or c. And their risk of really developing liver conditions and also infecting others theres a massive massive undertaking but it can be done because right now we have a cure for hepatitis c. And a vaccine for appetite is b. And also in a very effective treatment for these diseases in the report we did from one osiris we included Civil Society people had suffered from have otitis see who are now being cured one of the the aims of this summit is to include Civil Society more in the fight to eliminate the disease why its so important the inclusion of Civil Society well we believe that we have a fundamental role to play here terms of awareness as i said so many people unaware that they have this this condition so we have a role to play in terms of awareness raising awareness but also keeping governments accountable holding them accountable so one hundred ninety four governments committed to eliminating it but right now only nine governments are on track. So its saying so that we do this at the rock a see role so patient representatives n. G. O. S and thats why were here today most importantly there shouldnt be any decision about us without us so patients really need to be a deformed front of this response. From the world have a tighter alliance so a huge challenge with all parties really coming together here in sao paolo in the really have an unprecedented president to move to try to eliminate a global disease. But they certainly seem to have the right motions. Elements of motion to fight the disease in the studio indeed thank you very much aneesh raman reporting from the very important from that summit in sao paolo.

A. Cup final where you have just have one game for a championship its a series of seven games but its the culmination of one hundred sixty two game season three rounds of playoffs were into november now and baseball is supposed to be done while the weather is still good but Global Warming warming means that back in l. A. At the beginning of the series was over one hundred degrees fahrenheit there which is unheard of for a world series so now youve got everything depending on just one game the pressure is intense as i said every single pitch is going to matter and i just think that this is sport its very best.
