Just a day after a deal between the u. S. And mexico on tariffs and immigration migrants continue to make the journey between guatemala and mexico the southern border mexicos the point 6000 National Guard troops to its border with guatemala to try to stem the flow of migrants who are trying to get to the u. S. It is suspended the u. S. Had suspended plans to impose tariffs on all mexican goods as part of this deal rob reynolds has more from washington. The u. S. Threat to impose punitive tariffs on mexico led to a week of intense negotiations ending in a last minute accord President Donald Trump announced in a tweet the United States of america has reached and signed agreement with mexico the tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the u. S. On monday against mexico are hereby indefinitely suspended mexico in turn has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of migration through mexico and to our southern border this is being done to greatly reduce or eliminate illegal immigration coming from mexico and into the United States Mexican Foreign minister marcello said the 2 sides reached a compromise but he said it was i think its a fair balance because the us had more drastic proposals at the start and we have reached a middle point that we agreed to support mexicos proposal to support the Central American countries. Mexico had already agreed to send troops to its border with what amala to control the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the u. S. Its now also agreed the u. S. Could send Asylum Seekers whove entered the United States back to mexico to await legal rulings on their status but the us had to give up on its earlier demand that all guatemalan Asylum Seekers be deported to mexico and that honduran and salvadoran Asylum Seekers sent to guatemala the agreement also calls for the u. S. And mexico to Work Together to improve Economic Conditions and security in impoverished crime ridden Central American countries the root causes of migration the deal is a political victory for trump who has made stopping migration the central pillar of his political brand and who had faced opposition from within his party to the proposed tariffs rob reynolds aljazeera washington. Ileum fresco is a former Deputy Assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u. S. Department of justice he joins us via skype now from washington thanks very much for being with us im not sure if we still if we still have in this at this point im told that weve just lost our connection to him and im being told we we do have him can you hear me sir yes i can ok excellent our so i want to ask you then. What do you make of the of the legal issues that this throws up now because the this declaration at least as the state department has announced it is saying that mexico will accept an expansion of the trumpet ministrations program to make some migrants wait in mexico while there are saddam claims are heard in the United States what sort of legal issues does that raise for you then. Well it raises the legal issues of whether the people who are declaring fear from the lot of mylan and El Salvadoran gangs that are that theyre fleeing from actually safe in mexico while theyre waiting for their a phylum playing its often not they to be waiting at mexico or by slate for months and months they can possibly a to have a claim an Immigration Court in the United States and it also raises the issue of well who are you going to get represent you in your Immigration Court proceeding you have to get a lawyer that will be crossing from the United States into mexico with you about your kate and all of the hail will need to be worked out by the Drug Administration is trying to get it from breathing room because the numbers continue to go up on the other border this would be. Something of a climb down though by. President chummed i wouldnt because this is this was one of the reported key demands would was to get mexico to take in Asylum Seekers. Who were coming from guatemala and other places heading for the u. S. And process their claims on that on their own soil soil from the beginning they didnt get that did that correct what they wanted originally was something called the say 3rd country agreement which is that mexico would be considered a state 3rd country that if you arrived in mexico thats where you have the phylum that the United States and mexico just simply doesnt have the infrastructure to agree to that and so even if you place power from mexico there was no way mexico were going to agree to accept hundreds of thousands of people in mexico in order to process for filing claims now the complication is need be of get reached every few months between the United States and mexico but at the end of the day the question then becomes ok well what happens on the border do they end up not really caring and theyre letting the people cross into the United States and thats kind of what i asked. Every month when we reach mexico its very rare that you actually get congress and the problem i get result from the devil is going to be at the detail here how are they that they like to reimplement what do you say to those who argue that this. This kind of sending sending so many of these migrants backed 2 or at least a certain number of them back to mexico where they asylum claims will while they wait there for their asylum claims in the u. S. Is a violation of their rights because once they enter u. S. Soil they can claim they can legally claim asylum and stay in the United States while the case is is being heard a while back that that certainly is a claim that right now is making its way through the courts the 9th Circuit Court of appeals has allowed that practice to continue although it waiting it while waiting on the for the issue while its letting it continue and the question is to be decided by the court which is are you violating a file of law if someone is thinking of phylum in the United States and youre reporting back to mexico and the crux of it is is the person actually have a claim that they were in mexico while theyre waiting for a filing in the United States because the theory is well if they win their case theyre still going to be given a file of the United States just a matter of where will they be allowed for wait while theyre playing the and that and i think theyre going to have to work out that they these you number one and theyre going to have to work out the attorney is. Going to be very very hard fact that from attorney if youre for the way that mexico or your claim but ultimately going to be heard in the United States so i think those 2 issues will have to be litigated through the courts and well see where the court than but the court the Supreme Court is now a conservative court this possible that that generate would be a. All right good to speak with you leon fresco. The palestinian leadership has condemned comments by the u. S. Ambassador to israel in which he said the Israeli Government has the right to annex part of the occupied west bank the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised to begin annexing israeli settlements in the territory that would violate International Law in an interview with the New York Times David Friedman said under certain circumstances i think israel has the right to retain some but unlikely all of the west bank and he joins us live now from ramallah in the occupied west bank so i need a how have palestinians responded to these comments from the u. S. Ambassador. Weve heard 1st from the p. L. O. Secretary general has him who says that this should send a clear message to anyone who is planning to go to the nam a conference that is expected to be held in a few weeks he said that the u. S. Is going to support israels an exception of occupied territory which is considered illegal and a war crime under International Law weve also heard from p. L. O. Those executive men but hannan who says that the u. S. Is justifying land theft weve also heard from a statement by 1st a boy which is the ruling party in the west bank in which they said that they dont know if the u. S. Ambassador is representing the view of Israeli Settlers or that of the u. S. Administration.

Secretary of state announced that it was ready to sit down with iran irans oil minister says it is keeping our oil sales through what he calls unconventional means to circumvent u. S. Sanctions also joe body has more from tehran. Well this move is being called economic terrorism according to the Foreign Ministry spokesman up us mousavi this is a continuation of the United States governments policy towards iran of putting pressure on the pressure on iran and the people of this country and that the suggestion last week by officials in the United States that they were willing to talk with the iranians is not really a true one its not they does not what they actually mean theyre not true to their words that they cannot be trusted the Iranian Oil Minister has also been speaking on saturday saying that iran has absolutely no plans to leave opec and the gap thats been created in the oil markets by iran being not being able to sell all its oil on the International Market can never actually be filled by any of the countries such as saudi arabia and the u. A. E. So hes also reiterating irans position that all these sanctions they might put some pressure on the country but nobody can actually replace what theyre trying to do all the pressure from u. S. Sanctions is having an effect on irans economy with export margins tight investors are turning to small and medium sized businesses like coffee shops that can still turn a profit they must be has more from tehran.

But jumping hurdles is the part of running a business the cafe owner most in mudgee the hall likes the best. Its become very difficult but it is interesting for us because we have to innovate its a challenge. Like chodas when i compare myself to people who have businesses abroad i feel im doing better here because they can do whatever they want but we mustnt be in things here.

And irans old coffeehouses or cowboy economy are also under threat losing money could make it harder to preserve the roots of persian cafe culture you know i think about my grandparents my great great grandparents who were hanging out in these kind of places back in the old days a serious concern for employers is also young people heading abroad to find work i mean that sucks i mean thats thats horrible were losing a lot of these talented.

Mission is complete muslim immigrants have gradually acquired official Community Organizations green cards and even citizenship but their religion has been kept quiet by opening this mosque weeks before a general election the citys a government is actively courting the muslim vote yet the plan and. Athens now has a dignified place of worship for muslims whether they are citizens or migrants refugees or visitors the right to pray to the god you believe in like the right of a child to go to school does not depend on the circumstances under which someone arrived here everyone has these rights they are nonnegotiable human rights only the dignity of the afghans mosque is a far cry from what muslims have been used to makeshift places of worship in basements like this one which filled the overcrowding cities and is careful to maintain that low profile here there are no loudspeakers to call the faithful to prayer and no minarets to form landmarks the building barely resembles a religious structure and the compound itself is part of a Navy Facility surrounded by a high wall and barbed wire and with a round the clock police good citizen understands that although greeks agree to a mosque in principle there are also sensitivities greeks remember that the Ottoman Empire ruled greece for 4 centuries until the early 18 hundreds the saudi government offered to build a huge Cultural Center and mosque in 2001 and libyas Moammar Gadhafi made a similar offer a few years later but both sank under popular disapproval.

These are fortune tellers who use the ancient practice of astrology or the study of stars and planets to advise their clients on their future by tapping the past its a common sight across thailand in markets in alleys the cramped dark corners of cities where rent is cheap and access to people is easy and we have to trust that only judgment advice from astrology is just a 2nd opinion and only give us something to have spiritual comfort but at the end of the day its us that has to choose our own death and astrology has been part of thai culture for centuries its mixed into thailands unique version of buddhism but fortune telling doesnt belong to any specific class its used by the world family by big business Decision Makers even students studying for exams.

Theres little question that this slice of thai culture will remain alive and relevant well into the future but then they probably already knew that scott heiler al jazeera bangkok oh that is it for this news hour but ill be back in a couple of minutes to warm the case as they were.
