Richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. One of the celebrations in ethiopia after the release of an Opposition Leader and hundreds of other prisoners as part of a government and the state plus. Im not in Northern Ireland where on earth are the other bird flu things worrying people who have as much as a rebirth and. And mexicans in the us Senate Record amounts of money home mysterious of deportation rise under president trump. The us secretary of state has denied washington had any intention to help build a thirty thousand strong kurdish for so long syrias border with turkey turkey deployed tanks in response to the move and threaten to enter syrias afrin district but Rex Tillerson says the issue has been mis portrayed thats the word he used he says he sought to clarify the issue in a meeting with turkeys foreign minister in vancouver on tuesday and her strongly criticized the u. S. For arming and funding the y. P. Gene which has played a significant role in the battle against eisel the United States hears and takes seriously the concerns of our nato ally turkey we recognize the humanitarian contributions and military sacrifices turkey has made towards defeating isis towards their support of millions of Syrian Refugees and stabilizing areas of syria it has helped liberate we must have turkey close cooperation in achieving a new future for syria that ensure security for syrias neighbors syrias main Kurdish Party is urging the un to act quickly to protect the enclave of afrin after turkeys threat to attack. Says one Million People live in that area and killings the syrian why peachey kurdish fighters to turkeys outlawed p k k party which has fought for autonomy for decades decker joins us live from ankara and turkey near serious northwestern border so stephanie what more do we know about what is happening with the with these border the border force. Well the border force and the issue of our free are two separate issues however theyre both issues that are ongoing and crowd the border force the specifics of it as the americans have broken it down that they will be training or at least establishing a thirty thousand. Border force and what we saw there what you mention with the us i can see it Rex Tillerson sort of backing off because of the anger that this caused in ankara the turkish president rest of time. Saying that this was an army of terror and not turkey was going to drown this army because of course what you referred to they see the white p. G. Which would form the backbone of this force as a terrorist organization linked to the a its complicated but its basically they dont want to see any of these fighters on their force and now you have the u. S. Backing off somewhat semantics devil in the detail really richelle saying that this is not a border force but this is going to be focused on internal security this is going to be focused sort of along the east of turkey and along the border with iraq to prevent eisel from reforming and also to prevent the sort of back off iranian militias that remain in the area i think it really does highlight richelle the complicated nature of the internet is ation internationalization of this war then and now that isis been pushed out of its territory you have all these International Players trying to sort of carve out their spheres of influence now you know iran moscow damascus ankara all saying that this is a concern about this force that they believe this could lead to the separation of syria but of course the americans saying that this is simply to prevent Something Like iraq from happening again to try and ensure some stability so tell us the significance of afrin. Well i have free reign as one of the sort of self declared independent kurdish town tolans its been ruled by the p y d which is the political wing of the y p g since two thousand and twelve when Syrian Forces left now basically its been relatively peaceful we have a significant i. D. P. Internally displaced population there it is surrounded graphically significant because its right in the northwest of syria surrounded on two sides by turkeys border then to the east you have it fly to by Turkish BackedSyrian Rebels into the south now inside syria and in the province you have turkish troops so it is in effect surrounded now turkey is saying that it is going to move when it has done this before what is different this time richelle is weve seen this real increase in rhetoric weve seen tanks increasing troops brought to the border turkish media for example the headlines you see tanks streaming to the borders so it is something thats being taken more seriously this time the timing is interesting you have talks coming up in sochi in russia at the end of this month the kurds have been invited to that are not happy and also some will tell you that this is a move by aragorn to try and increase support ahead of elections which may be pushed forward to this year but again i think we havent seen the movie yet theres been sporadic shelling but certainly we had words out of the National Security council yesterday that was chaired by the president where they said that they were going to deal with the threat coming from the west that supreme immediately said something to watch for sure ok Stephanie Decker live for us in talking at thank you.

White house chief of staff has said Donald Trumps hardline immigration policies may not have been fully informed during his president ial Campaign John kelly made the comments in an interview with the us media want to Trumps Campaign promise was to build a wall along the southern border and make mexico pay for it kellys been discussing Immigration Reform with democratic politicians they want guarantees that undocumented immigrants will be protected before backing a spending bill to avoid a Government Shutdown is adjusted the way hes looked at the sole seizure strategy afghanistan hes a very definitely change these attitudes towards the darker issue and even the war once we briefed him when i was at the h. S. He has evolved in the way hes looked at Things Campaign to governing of two Different Things and this president is very very very flexible in terms of what is within the realm of the possible mexicos living in the u. S. Are sending home record amounts of money as concern grows with their over the governments immigration crackdown last year they transferred twenty six billion dollars providing a vital lifeline to some of mexicos poorest communities out there as been all appollo visited one community in the southern mexican city of the haka. Ya know who deanna cruz and her mother or handcrafting pottery the same way most of the women in the town of san marcos make a living its not always enough to make ends meet but who yanna gets help from her brother who lives in the United States but i hope. This work that i do helps us and sometimes when my brother sends money that helps us to. Ghana isnt the only person here who receives money from relatives in the us. This line outside a local wire service is a common sight and on most days the line can be much longer for many mexicans these remittance payments can be a way out of poverty is that they may says so they use this cash mainly for food to buy clothes to build their homes and they also use a very small amount for savings. Last year remittances sent from the United States increased by four percent experts say its a result of changing policies in the United States i. Think theres a fear among immigrants that the u. S. Government will take away what they have part of the reason for the increase in remittances is over the fear that their assets will be seized at the. Money sent home by migrants has historically been an important part of the mexican economy accounting for more than two percent of the countrys g. D. P. In two thousand and seventeen remittances outpaced all of mexicos commercial exports combined excluding oil and according to Mexico Central Bank that cash totaled twenty six point one billion dollars between january and november of last year.

I mean to movement has been in the global spotlight in the past few months its untowered women to speak out about Sexual Harassment and abuse but its pedicle who reports the election of donald trump is u. S. President has also played into that movement and had a clear impact on women in politics. Preserve protect and defend there was no comparison donald trump had his day so help me god and the very next one women had theirs. In washington d. C. The largest protest in the history of the country women across america and the world marched to reject the president his sexist actions comments and past allegations of Sexual Assault he was even caught on tape bringing about it. And he was still a leftist. The question at the time was this a moment or a movement i never thought that i would do this until i went to the womens march in washington d. C. Best let this be the beginning empowered women like rebecca cola ran for elected office in virginia a Record Number ran eleven toppled long serving male politicians its been happening across the country. And i just say donald trump keep your hands off seattle. Women are running like never before and winning in large part because women are also voting in huge numbers because of trump the worst could possibly happen actually happened and we have someone unqualified to be leading this country a long time feminist icon Gloria Steinem is in a unique position to judge this movement she told me she believes it is here to stay it is beginning to shift and i think i think are beginning to see that there is no gender. People or people but. Then beyond race and beyond gender were just going to have less of a system that political scientist laura brown says will change because of this she predicts women will have parity in government in a decade or so. What you see here is that enough women are finally getting involved at the local and state level to ensure that there will be a strong bench of women candidates ready to run for those higher level offices in the coming years and decades one year isnt it it appears there is something donald trump is making great again feminism although it is highly unlikely that was his intention the calling aljazeera washington the next report in our series on president trumps first year in office well examine the impact of a swarm policy in the middle east you can see that friday here on aljazeera france is urging chalets indigenous and put people to end violence and the struggle for more rights he celebrated mass in the araa say nina region which is at the center of a centuries old conflict with the government at least ten churches have been set on fire in that area in the past week from some of who are latin america editor was he in newman reports. This is how indigenous my pooches pray with branches and cries to the sun and the earth and it was with their traditional rites not the catholic churches that pope francis began his visit to chiles most rest of region. But. We can hear alco sing of a sorrow that cannot be silenced who said trees of injustices that have re onesies taking place. The pope dedicated his homily to the my pooches acknowledging that their blood was spilt on this very airbase chosen for the papal ceremony and it is still being disputed by seven hundred families thousands walk long distances from all over the region to attend even from neighboring argentina. We are separated by the Andes Mountains but we are the same approach of people with the same demands for the return of our Ancestral Lands that were taken from us. But many couldnt get here because of barricades put up by massed groups who clocked access roads but. Our region has been beaten by too many conflicts since the pope is closer to god than we are hopefully he can into a seed and i would be have for peace. Three catholic churches were targeted by arsonists in the lead up to the popes visit no one has taken responsibility. Here. Privately. But the vatican spokesman told aljazeera the pope is not here to mediate the pope called for my pooches to be recognized as equals but he made no mention of the key issue of land rights instead he warned against confrontation and violence.

But these figures also elective the number of refugees resettled by australia is dwarfed by the two point seven million sheltered by turkey or the one point five million in pakistan what is true is that for those refugees australias government brings in on its own terms the support once they get here its some of the best in the world as well as education and counseling are entitled access to help to his magic show theres a Government Supported financed scheme to help refugees develop Small Businesses that critics say its not enough to treat one group kindly while looking out another the ability to seek asylum is fundamental to refugee protection around the world and the why they destroy your trades people coming by by undermines that fundamental protection australia is generosity is real but hes being overshadowed im sure Thomas Al Jazeera sydney.
