Terrorism paving the way for more sanctions. Carry this is out is there a live from doha also coming up. I lost my house with nothing. Sixty thousand haitians in the u. S. Who fled the devastation of the powerful earthquake are told they must come home. Zimbabwes ruling Party Weekends and pietschmann proceedings against Robert Mugabe as he refuses to resign as president. And the head of syrias main opposition body the High Negotiations Committee stepped down just days before key talks in saudi arabia. As President Donald Trump has designated north korea a state sponsor of terrorism trouble also promised more sanctions against pyongyang that secretary of state Rex Tillerson says washington has not given up on resolving the Nuclear Crisis on the Korean Peninsula through diplomacy jabatan seen reports from washington d. C. President of the designation of north korea as a sponsor of terrorism. Should have happened a long time ago should happened years ago in addition to threatening the world by Nuclear Devastation north korea has repeatedly supported acts of International Terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil. However this announcement wasnt a certainty some officials at the state department were reported to as north korea did not meet the Legal Definition of a state sponsor of terrorism two cases have been cited during the deliberations the killing of kim jong uns half brother adam a lazy an airport and the treatment of american student also a woman who died of his injuries after being released from north korean custody neither represent terrorism they argued nonetheless more sanctions will now be announced by the Treasury Department their words unclear this will prove to be anything more than a symbolic measure given all of the sanctions that have already been levied against pyongyang something the secretary of state alluded to i dont want to suggest to you that the designation is suddenly going to put a whole new layer of sanctions olympias again i think we already have north korea so heavily sanctioned in so many ways with the u. N. Resolutions that have been undertaken but this will close a few additional loopholes all analysts are attempting to discern a comprehensive strategy for north korea from the trumpet ministration i think its disappointing trump came to washington as an outsider and i really thought that maybe there was some chance that he could have a policy towards north korea that would be different and more creative than the ones that the inside the beltway crowd have implemented. The North Koreans have said they would end their Nuclear Tests and resume negotiations if the u. S. And its military exercises with south korea the u. S. Has ruled that out so in the meantime the administration is once again relying on sanctions and harsh rhetoric she abberton see washington kathy novak has more from the south korean capital seoul. This move allows the United States to impose more sanctions against north korea but there is already a sweeping sanctions program in place and it is largely a symbolic move nevertheless the south korean government has welcomed it saying along with International Sanctions and pressure it will contribute to a peaceful resolution of the north Korean Nuclear issue japans Prime Minister shinzo ave have all has also welcomed the move saying it will put more pressure on the government in north korea now this move is part of the us is Larger Program of trying to exert maximum pressure on north korea and force it back to the negotiating table it was lifted the state sanctions of terrorism designation was lifted back in two thousand and eight when there were hopes of salvaging within Six Party Talks which north korea ultimately walked away from and now by designating it again there are some hopes that it may put pressure on others to take more action against north korea of course china is often mentioned as a country that has a special relationship with north korea its largest trading partner and one of its only friends in the world a chinese envoy has just wrapped up a trip to pyongyang there are some hopes that that may signal a return to dialogue but of course in the past north korea has reacted angrily to sanctions saying that it is proof that the u. S. Has a hostile policy against north korea and that country uses it as an excuse to further pursue its nuclear and missile programs jim walsh is a Senior Research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of technologys Security Studies program and says he doesnt think additional sanctions on effective way to pressure north korea back to the negotiating table. Sanctions are not enormously popular on capitol hill as a policy tool and in some ways it hits the policy sweet spot if youre not sending troops in youre not putting boots on the ground and youre not just simply ignoring our problems its only gives politicians a middle way to look like theyre doing something even if its not very effective i dont think its going to matter very much at all so you have the president saying you know this pressure is going to force them back to the bargaining table miley skeptical of that and im not sure you know forcing someone to negotiating table what sort of negotiation you get when you do that on the other and i think the president s critics are saying well this might undermine diplomacy with china who we want to help with north korea im not sure thats really true either i just dont think its going to matter very much the North Koreans are very good at evading sanctions in other words theyve innovated in the face of a challenge we sort of do the same thing over and over again expand the number of companies being designated or the number of people that sort of thing and they figure out ways to get around it you know you cant just put sanctions on you have to if you can to put sanctions you have to respond to their countermeasures or youre just doing the same thing over and over again. Tens of thousands of haitian immigrants are facing deportation from the United States most were allowed in after that two thousand and ten earthquake which destroyed much of their country but their status was only temporary in the shop a ministration says conditions have improved enough for them to return home and a gallagher report from the haiti and miami. When haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake in two thousand and ten thousands life for the u. S. And were offered temporary protected status over the decades the programs helped almost half a Million People from nations ravaged by natural disasters and war for years its been extended by president ial decree and is alive recipients to legally live and work in the United States to deport them toward place where you know they will not be free in the case of haiti i didnt make it marlene bastiaan says removing the special status will have devastating consequences it will wreck their lives it will it will destabilize their families it will separate their families because we are talking about people who have been living here for an average of eight to twenty years. They have deep roots in our communities those roots of found across the country many of those granted protection have u. S. Born children who may be forced to leave with their parents you know they look for the music you know the route i imagine they cant even sleep to see all your dreams crumble your efforts to have a home in this country and to have to leave its inhumane others like jodeen say going back after so many years isnt safe or practical i lost my house in haiti two thousand then i lost my house and im with nothing. When i go. I dont have a place to stay in i might close by here ending the protected status of long established communities is seen by advocates as cruel and unnecessary fears over deportation has already led to an influx of haitians seeking asylum in canada times overwhelming local authorities for years those benefiting from temporary protected status have been referred to as living in limbo but in truth theyve established businesses started families and become valued members of their communities those whos now lost their status face the prospect of being sent back to countries they dont longer think of as home and again across his ear a little later miami and ins rick has more from washington d. C. Well the department of Homeland Security said back in may that it was probably going to be suspending this program so the haitians knew that this was coming and then made the announcement just just today. Its the dark part of Homeland Security has been working with haiti and has said that the Living Conditions since two thousand and ten since the earthquake back then has improved the economy has continued to proven to improve in haiti and it also said that many of the people who were who had been living in displacement camps within the country or within the island have left those camps and so its time for the haitians that are here in the u. S. To leave but on top of that you also have to consider that this sort of fits into the trumpet ministrations policy on immigration its get tough policy on immigration President Trump has questioned this program and critics say that this is been sort of a backdoor way into amnesty for of some immigrants here in the United States.

Asian and e. U. Foreign ministers are calling for the safe return of her hand to refugees who have fled to for me and mar the joint statement was made at the thirteenth asia europe meeting which began on monday and me and mars capital naypyidaw the summit is attended by bangladesh as foreign minister who is the highest bangladeshi official to visit since the latest crisis in mar Security Forces are being accused of violently forcing out hundreds of thousands over a henschel muslim since august lets go now live to scott hyla who is in you know scott theres been a lot of high profile statements calling for for this for the region to be able to go home is this is this conference this meeting that any different. So far not really but there was one aspect or sell the that was interesting and that is the Chinese Foreign minister is here in country and he said that they want to china wants to become a play a role in the crisis here the range of crisis here now this is interesting they really havent taken this step that far china and myanmars relationship is tight has been tight for years even under the military rule so they say they want to play an active role in the range of crisis and they said theres a they are submitting an idea for a three step program to help ease the crisis if you on the very first one is that a cease fire in Rakhine State and theyre talking about repatriation and then also a Long Term Plan so thats interesting thats something that thats a bit new but the other rhetoric right now so far the were hearing isnt greatly different from what weve been hearing in the past couple of weeks months when it comes to International Criticism of how myanmar government and military has been handling the situation in Rakhine State but its engine when you look at you know that youve got these members here its a very sensitive issue even when it comes to calling the population in this ethnic group or a hint that because the government doesnt recognize that term so later on today at the end of this two day meeting with these Foreign Ministers about fifty just over fifty here in myanmar that how they are going to have a press conference how they actually phrase the situation in Rakhine State with the range and bangladesh will be very interesting because its such a sensitive issue here that needs to be noted that this meeting of these fifty plus Foreign Ministers coming here for this meeting was planned well before the recent crisis of the hinge but obviously that has really taken center stage because of the situation because of the International Attention on this issue absolutely scott what else do we know is that as on the agenda as i said that wraps up. Yes theyll be a press conference probably in about three hours time from now and theyll be interesting again as i was mentioning how the phrasing goes how the wording goes but whats going to be happening kind of after the meeting and then maybe later on today throughout the rest of the week weve got the bangladeshi foreign minister here we know that bangladesh and myanmar have been negotiating this repatriation of this six hundred thousand plus range of refugees in bangladesh its going to be a very painstaking process because you have the issue so far weve been hearing from myanmar that they want to have documentation that the people who are coming back in country have proof that they were here before thats difficult when you have a population there wasnt officially recognized by the government here so that from a documentation standpoint is going to be very difficult also in just about an hours time in bangkok in neighboring thailand and the standard nationals going to release their findings a long term finding Long Term Research of the situation for the regions in Rakhine State looking at the root causes of the overall oppression over him obviously that ties into directly whats happened over the last couple of months but theres study they say is documented over two years so thats going to be coming out in the next hour theyre holding a press conference in bangkok in neighboring thailand ok scott hyland live for us and scott thank you the head of the largest saudi backed Syrian Opposition group has resigned after nearly two years riad who was appointed leader of the hyde Negotiations Committee in december two thousand and fifteen hate his spokesperson and several other officials have stepped down ahead of an opposition conference in saudi arabia and a new round of u. N. Sponsored talks and geneva a statement from the job did not say why he was quitting the agency is the main antigovernment umbrella bloc which includes political and armed groups jonathan crystal is a fellow at the World Policy Institute and middle east expert he says unity among the Opposition Committee is important it may be and possible for any new leader to achieve. I think that there are two possible reasons you know one is its a quite a thankless job i think that hes had over the last couple of years he is acting as an Umbrella Group for a very wide range of organizations that really have competing goals competing interests dont necessarily work with each other some of them show up sometimes and not other times and its in some ways its a bit of a p. R. Sort of position it plays well to the a western audience it plays well to the other powers in the region to make it seem like theyre someone speaking for all of these groups when in reality they dont so i think that theres a certain frustration that anyone would have in that circumstance now the timing comes not only before these meetings but it also is time to around a lot of a flurry of activity from saudi arabia in the region and so you know it is too early to know for sure what is going on but you know it could be that the saudis had a particular replacement in mind it could be that he was frustrated that things were going nowhere and didnt want to go through a sort of farcical display at these meetings but i think well find out in the days to come i imagine. There are process and al bayda had joined the list of the many cities that are now without clean water two point five Million People live in the five cities for a shortage of fuel caused by the saudi led blockade has called pumping stations to shut down so many ports have reopened to allow in desperately needed food and they critics say its just not enough mohammed champagne reports.

The u. N. Is growing increasingly concerned that there is a point it becomes a second Tipping Point where those seven Million People who are living in lines including four hundred children under the age of five who are those skilled to which is that you see on t. V. Those people are living in a similar existence and if we interrupt their very fragile supply. Then those people are getting closer and closer to getting into the. Representatives of the uns office for coordinate. Humanitarian affairs in yemen are eager to travel to saudi arabia to discuss the issues face to face with saudi leaders but cant we really have to send teams to be able to discuss the procedures.

At the top of the list the saudi led political and economic blockade of gaza now in its sixth month earlier on monday. Told an audience the blockade is affecting his countrys ability to sell its oil and natural gas overseas but also said the bigger problem is this by launching the blockade the saudis them rockys the behind and the egyptians have made the middle east more unstable region and. I think that responsibly taking political gamble with the lives of other nations citizens with no exit strategy the cutaways argument is simple the blockade simply isnt the result of a spat between them and the saudis and the u. S. Should be worried but its not clear whether this new argument will be enough to spur washington to put more pressure on both sides to resolve the crisis. Jordan aljazeera at the state department.
