South korea this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. Turkey steps up its military campaign in Northern Syria signaling it may extend it as far east as a rock our reporter is on the ground. South koreas president orders an investigation after dozens were killed in a hospital fire. And developing in digital free trade zones african nations hope theyll be used business. Disorder time ago u. S. President donald trump wrapped up an appearance that they were all Economic Forum in davos the first appearance there by a sitting u. S. President and eighteen years and his prepared remarks trump tower has America First since and also praised his administrations program attacks and regulation cuts but a q. And a session after the speech trump was booed when he went out of his way to attack the media theres a little bit of what he acted say america is the place to do business so come to america where you can innovate create and build i believe in america as president of the United States i will always put America First just like the leaders of other countries should put their Country First also and as a businessman i was always treated really well by the press you know the numbers speak and things happen but ive really had a very good press and it was until i became a politician that i realized how nasty how mean how vicious and how fake. The press can be as the cameras are going off in the back. At him play very well in the room along call is visiting professor caterina versity center for studies hes also a professor of history at the university of michigan and he joins us here in the studio. So some of what President Trump said was typical something any u. S. President would say that particular bit worried mentions you know fake news and attacking the media did not play well. In that room what to say about the fact that he perhaps didnt read the crowd very well didnt adjust what he needed to do for that particular crowd sure will. More. Many of them very wealthy people who have been around the block so trumps playing to the peanut gallery with these false claims that the media turns off the cameras to avoid showing how big the crowds are how happy they are with him that struck them as as a piece of befool enery obviously what what did total trump have to do. It and then thats a big question you know a lot there are a lot of people who actually dont even know what davos is lofty thing this just kind of alf there right what did he go there to accomplish and do you think he did accomplish it. Dumbos is actually not a real institution its a conference and so its a world Economic Forum and the only thing thats special about it is whos there which are a lot of movers and shakers in the World Economy so i think trump needed not just for the audience i mean in a way i think his his mission was negative rather than positive because hes done a lot of irrational and erratic things the way that he rolled out his Immigration Reform suddenly closing off the borders and imprisoning people coming from places like iran as scientists and engineers arriving at the airport and and their grandmothers and so were all of that spooked people and in fact world tourism is down in the United States four percent this year and so the davos people are those people those are the ones who are not going to ask you exactly that im glad you brought that up yes tourism is down in rome and at some universities from International Students is down right so so that says to people that the u. S. Is closed off but he says what he seemed to be saying is the u. S. Is open for business were not closed off come in and come with their money are they hearing out of their receiving that well i think that they will respond well to the reduction in Corporate Tax rates theyll respond well to deregulation there are some things that hes doing that could attract some investment in the United States but if you were a high powered i. T. Firm Internet Technology and you you came to United States made a company and you thought well we might need a specialist who can only be gotten in india well all of a sudden trumps immigration policies might interfere with that so there will be some people who are spooked by his policies and thats why i say one of his well one of the things that was necessary for him to do was to go there and not be a wild man and down i think he succeeded ok i want to say class lets bring in our diplomatic editor james space who is also there he is and on this listening to to what President Trump had to say. So i dont know if you heard just a moment ago juan cole said that he thought that that he was relatively even handed particularly for how unpredictable donald trump could be is that how it seemed to play to you and to others there. Yes so i think that is how it will be seen and perhaps most importantly in the white house by the white house officials were just outside the hole where the speech ended a short time ago we had the secretary of state to listen come past Rex Tillerson and see the minutia in the treasury secretary both said it was an excellent speech a short sort of short time ago the president leaving departing this trip on marine one flying over our heads and the white house will be pleased with the way this went this was President Trump in scripted form staying on the also key to staying with the script and the script that clearly being the work not just of the president but key members of his chief from trying to send the America First message but in a way that will be acceptable here. Most of the other leaders weve heard from this week the political and Business Leaders talking very much about global trade and Global Values something this disruptive president at times during the last year has seemed seemed to challenge ok james he did talk about brought up. Which was which was one of the first. World trade agreements that he stepped back from what he put it al fair i dont know perhaps to see if anyone will take the bait and it maybe perhaps as a negotiating tactic did you think you did anything to to put. To put feelers out there that perhaps they really are open to some of these deals even though he changes on them constantly. It is interesting because you look at all the deals that hes talking about and they can be can omit ones they can be political ones for example the iran deal he still hasnt decided what to do about that Climate Change yes he says hes pulling out it hasnt hasnt actually happened yet and he still says he might stay in so this is a president who can certainly change his mind and aunty p. P. Does not change his mind but he certainly said hes open to negotiations with the other eleven countries either on an individual one on one basis with those countries or as part of a group deal the problem for him is that the other countries are moved on without him the other eleven they are close to finalizing a deal and they actually have a signing planned in chile in march so that train may have already left but of course if they see the enticing prospects of getting the u. S. Involved then maybe they will talked to the United States about c. P. P. Its interesting how all of this tree trip and all of that speech is going to play out of course back home with his base where the headlines in recent hours actually arent about davos at all there again about that subject russia and the special counsel and reports that President Trump had ordered his foreign last june and then decided not to when his own lawyer the white house lawyers said he would quit donegan said the white House Counsel said he would quit if that happened so the headlines back home i think are important and how this of course plays with President Trumps base because the sort of speech certainly the tone we heard there is not the sort of speech that got him elected and not same space life for us and doris james thank you. The more of the days news now turkeys president has promised to clear out kurdish fighters along the length of its border with syria and extend its offensive as far as iraq or to type or to one says the operation in a frame will continue to the east including the town of turkey regards the kurdish fighters as terrorists and wants them removed so we can create a buffer so. You know you dont we will continue to all Branch Operation which is on its seventh day today until we reach all of our targets after this will cleanse man bids from the terrorists as it has been promised to us nobody should be bothered by this because the real owner of memories is not those terrorists but the arab brothers theyre after this well continue our fight until no terrorist is left. Has been inside syria she sent this from just a frame. Where in the syrian city. This is an area that is part of sort of the Eastern Front with their operation. Now you can feed life is pretty much normal here or was a lot of children in these areas were in the Turkish Press tour so to speak theyre very keen to show us their operations here what is striking is the influence and the presence here also when it comes to its military now the f. S. A. The Free Syrian Army fighters theyre the ones at the front line coming around this sort of as weve been speaking to some of them the as well they say theyre committed to this fight this is the fight enough money in the fight that turkey says is targeting the white media which they call a terrorist organization weve been hearing from our children going on as well with their minds is this remains a very active. Fire in a hospital in south korea has killed at least thirty seven people including patients and nurses and an intensive care unit firefighters in the Southern City managed to rescue dozens of others trapped by the flames an investigation is now underway and kathy novak reports from seoul. The fire started in the emergency ward at about seven thirty in the morning it quickly spread to other parts of said John Hospital and took firefighters more than an hour to bring under control and another two hours to extinguish. All or. Stop the fire from spreading from the first floor to the second floor during the initial phase and therefore also prevent a difference spreading to the rest of the building. Despite the rescue effort patients and medical staff were killed most were suffocated by inhaling toxic fumes about one hundred patients were being treated in the hospital when the blaze broke out about ninety other people in an adjacent nursing unit were safely evacuated president in ordered an investigation into the cause of the fire. Gene to president moon expresses regret and sadness over the situation of the fire that broke out a safe zone hospital which led to a high number of casualties not long after the fire in that fire in the Southern City of jackson claimed twenty nine lives just last month at the time Prime Minister and lead not beyond promised there would never be a repeat now he says hes ashamed to have to say the same thing questions are once again being asked about fire safety in south korea so John Hospital doesnt have water sprinklers because if its a relatively small size the law doesnt require them Kathy Novak Al Jazeera sole french president mandela has promised a more efficient system to process Asylum Seekers and the port city of kalai so far there is little evidence thats happening the town a scene encrease of younger people turning up hoping to cross the English Channel and get to the u. K. Reports from cali. Playing for time in calis Industrial Zone a place where Asylum Seekers have flocked to in the hope they may escape the limbo they face day in day out while theyre here they are trapped many of them been here for months sleeping rough wherever they can and we are tipping without any front end and there are two maybe we could sit here because its just because its just. Disturbs us. And this is not life its not life because living in the forest its. So this is the place the location where one of the few just to be sure point was supposed to occur on thursday afternoon as you can see authorities are there and theyve stopped it from happening and thats been cut a lot of anger from those who gathered here to be able to get some food. For months the riot police have been a regular presence here as the standoffs with my cards desperate to escape. Some hope perhaps has been provided by the joint treaty signed by the french president and the british Prime Minister last week. A particularly important point of this sunday for streeter will be the subject of minors this treaty. For all those in a position to cross the channel to drastically reduce the time limits from six months to thirty days for adults from six months to twenty five days for unaccompanied that minors the treaty is intended to improve the management of the border on both sides of the English Channel but there is little evidence as to how it will be done and whether it would expedite urgent asylum cases to reunite them with relatives living in the u k. For those working on the front line of this crisis the expectations have led to rumors that Asylum Seekers only need to come to cali to get to the u. K. And thats led to large numbers of people turning up here i do feel people have false hope because of this misunderstanding and because theres been no effort to explain any of the changes theres been no effort before hand to explain to people what asylum entails in fronts despite the challenges the young the desperate try to find any way they can to reach britain no matter how dangerous the police attempt to stop them climbing on to lorries bound to england but they still take the chance and the risk they feel is worth it to leave behind a life in france that hangs in the balance on a diagonal aljazeera kalai still ahead on aljazeera. I want to solve the doco problem i will consider that a great achievement to solve the problem thats been out there for a long time as president how much trouble says he believes dreamers deserve to stay in the United States but a mess come with the cost. However saying some rather cold and when she weather pushing across china recently central areas seeing a fair bit of snow some leeway in this in hong kong time just around twenty celsius barely getting up to around four degrees there in shanghai on this name might be a touch woman to go on into sunday but a tough snow here as well some wet weather on the southern flank still getting up to around nineteen or twenty celsius there in hong kong i suspect it will cloud over through the course of the day increasing cloud also pushing towards southern parts of india towards frank you can see this the line a storm surge just around the southernmost. Lots of the goal they are heading towards frank east the start of the country could see some rain this week go through saturday thirty celsius over the next couple of days there are more clout there into southern parts of india further north its generally fine and dry although the smoke pole problems continue for new delhi temperatures here at around twenty two degrees it will be lucky to see a high of twenty two here in doha through the second half of the weekend were getting up to around twenty seven on saturday but they still are in a cloud here thats going to be something of a cold front as such it sinks further southwards and its become one through sunday we will struggle to get to a high of around twenty one degrees celsius so feeling rather chilly. The scene for us when theyre online what is american sign in your mind that peace is almost possible but not what happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there people the little choosing between buying medication and eating basis is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone whos an activist and has posted a story join the global conversation at this time on aljazeera. Youre watching our desire lets take a look at the top stories right now. Says america is over for business of war and there cant be free and open trade as some countries exploit the system at the world Economic Forum in davos the us president has both voted and defended his America First agenda. Turkeys president has promised to clear out kurdish fighters along the length of its border with syria and may extend its offensive as far as iraq are to typewrite alliance as the operation in a frame will continue to the east including the town among the turkey regards the kurdish by p. G. Fighters as terrorists and Hospital Safety procedures in south korea are being reviewed after a fire killed at least thirty seven people including patients and nurses at an intensive care unit in the Southern City of rio a writers managed to rescue dozens of others who were trapped. And President Trump is promising a plan that could give citizenship to undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children but thats only of democrats agree to funding a Mexico Border Wall that could mean one point eight million socalled dreamers would be protected from deportation to the country of their birth white house says the proposal could attract and now for votes to pass through the senate had a kahane has more from washington d. C. The president was under pressure democrats republicans in the congress were saying we have no idea what youre for on this issue so hes put forward this proposal democrats already rejecting it nancy pelosi saying this is a part of the trump administrations attempt to make America White again they will be against twenty five billion dollars for border wall and security on the border and they will be against ending the Visa Lottery Program basically it was meant to increase diversity in this country limits are set in Different Countries with low immigration that people can apply for a green card they enter a lottery and they when they can come here trump wants to get rid of that that is not going to be ok with democrats and even conservatives his base theyre up in arms one website labeling him amnesty don because they dont want children who are brought to this country without documentation to be able to have a path to citizenship they say he promised to get rid of all illegal immigration and they want him to basically fulfill that promise so now it goes to the house in the senate and its going to be a tough sell on both sides remember in the past two president s both a republican a democrat tried to get a deal on immigration and they failed the country is much more polarized now in large part because of Donald Trumps rhetoric on this issue. Britains Prime Minister is being pressured to cancel a proposed visit to london by the Saudi Crown Prince because of the war in Yemen Government sol minister to visit london so but campaign greats including a stop the War Coalition say no planes have a menace are suffering the worlds worst humanitarian crisis where famine is threatened and diseases are widespread Stephen Bella specs for the for the campaign to block the visit he says some answer sponsible for the crisis we are calling upon the you can government to withdraw the invitation. In view it is not acceptable to lay out the red carpet for someone who is responsible what the un says is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today the fact that the most recent u. N. Report indicated up to eleven million yemeni children or risk either from the will cholera famine and the blockade of the country destruction of infrastructure all this means its not suitable to invite someone who is the prime responsibility for the continuation of the war opinion pose a vindicated over sixty percent oppose continuing military arming of the saudi regime this is i would say brutally reflected in parliament insofar as are all the major parties apart from the government. The peak intention are against the continuing to support the saudi. War efforts so we think the Public Opinion is broadly on our side but it is necessary to deny is to bring political opinion into line.

Trade across africa is about to get an overhaul with measures aimed at cutting the cost of doing business its hoped a digital free trade zone will make connecting online easier for export and import companies and a much larger deal covering the whole continent is in the pipeline and minimal reports on one of the biggest trade ports in east africa on the kenyan coast is the height of. His familys run this Manufacturing Business in mombasa for decades he wants to expand sales of his wooden doors and other products beyond kenyas borders. While moody can import the room materials he needs red tape and lengthy cross border processes make exports difficult finding more affordable buying through the agency because though amount of paperwork required and the taxation changing every now and then was a dont know is we are talking or little we are told there is a big change in the pictures and policy between no. I think one of the models for now the popular the thing the brave but go up this year the Regional Economic bloc komisar the Common Market for Eastern Southern Africa plans to roll out a digital free trade area which would benefit traffic hubs like mombasa as its east africas largest port and serves as the main gateway for trade for kenya and its neighbors the east Africa Community has already adopted and integrated regional system if for example congo is cleared here in mombasa on the kenyan coast can be tracked in neighboring uganda now the commis a free trade zone would ideally bring together more african countries beyond this region to enjoy seem less important export new technology would be used to connect the chain of people governments and agencies involved in the import and export of goods the move away from manual paperwork would be a first for africa allowing wool goods to move through the region. Foster the east and Southern African zone has still to be finalized while a larger Continental Free Trade Area covering all of africa is also looking for political backing this year it covers a Single Market of one point two billion people and a combined g. D. P. Of more than a three trillion dollars its thought the agreement could increase trade by at least fifty percent but the reality is there are challenges across african borders we look collected as a continent away by by real by roald structure is poor. So that poses a challenge because it will continue to impact on the cost and time it takes to to to do business within the continent other barriers that i see is the fear of loss of revenue for the government because when you free up in a region you the government will effectively been doing itself customs and duties and taxes that they receive from exports and from imports theres also concern that while the political will maybe there duplicate regional and continental efforts will take a long time to implement adding to worries that the continents private sector may not have a Strong Enough voice to drive africas dreams for me to malaya aljazeera bus support kenya.
