U. S. Press barack obama has unveiled swing changes to americas immigration policy. He is using executive powers to enact rouse that could spare some 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. Obama says the immigration system is broken, and trying to crack down on those trying to cross the bodder illegally. Reporter there are more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in United States. With this announcement, u. S. President barack obama say barae will give a temporary reprieve to less than half. Lifting the threat of deportation for people who have been in the country for more than five years and have children who are american citizencitizens phone shaly impg less than 5 million people. I am talking about a common sense middle ground approach. If you meet the criteria you can come out of the shadows and get right watt law. Reporter but its temporary and the next president could overturn in january of 20 stephen. Leave the government with a list of people that could po poe potentially be deported of course moving on his own is controversial. In large part because the president has been saying for years he doesnt have the authority to act on his own. My job is supposed to be to carry out the laws that are passed. Reporter now the white house says they did another review of the law and the president can act without congress to a limit. Republicans are threatening revenge. We are considering a variety of options. But make no mistake, make no mistake, when the newlyelected representatives of the people take their seats, they will act. Reporter in all likelihood there is probably very little republicans can do to stop the president on e immigration, but they can try to make him pay in other areas. White house officials admit they could do that, they are just betting they wont. Patty culhane, al jazerra, washington. Lets take a closer look now at what changes president obama has made under the new pressures, some Illegal Immigrants will be able to stay in the your honor at least temporarily if they meet following requirements have been there five years, have children legally allowed to be in the u. S. If they register their names, pass a criminal background check and are willing to pay taxes. Joann lynn is a legislative counsel with the American Civil Liberties union. She says its not the first time a u. S. President has used exec it i have powers to change immigration. Every single american president since Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s has undertaken some type of executive action involving immigration. Most notably, george h. W. Bush in 1990, used his executive powers to provide immigration relief to family members of people who are here through the 1986 immigration program. And george h. W. Bushs program at the time covered about 40 of the undocumented population. Which is on par with what president obamas initiative seeks to do. And the question about how the republicans are going to respond, i mean, really the ball is in their court now. I mean, the majority of american people, republicans, democrats, independents all want a permanent solution to our immigration system. There is a widespread consensus that the status quo is the worst possible option. And that is actually what we have been forced to live with. The House Republicans refuse to take up Immigration Reform through 201314, so the president had no choice but to act on his own.

Over the kurds selling oil to turkey, so turkey has worked overtime to try to bring that gap, smaller and they have managed to do that. So there is some movement between both the kurds and the Iraqi Federal government. Here that the turks have had negotiations in. And remember that turkey doesnt produce any Domestic Energy of its own, it needs to import everything in kurdistan clearly a very big slayer of oil to the turks, the other thing is security. Now, the battle against isil will be discussed also the kurds and turkey share a border. The isil fighters have used and taken advantage of that border in the past. The kurds are involved in a big fight in various parts of iraq with the isil fighters, all of that will be being discussed.

Those Border Crossings whether they are request jordan, syria, ticker, are very crucial for isil. Its a way of getting arms and weaponry in to iraq. And also a way of getting their fighters through. One of the keyboarder crossings is still open to isil fighters. They lost the crossing a few months ago in rabia and there have been clashes it has changed hands a couple of time. But isil are putting a lot of pressure that Border Crossing thats in kurdish hands and they want to take that back. And the kurds are saying that we need some help to keep the Border Crossing.

Rhinos are facing an unprecedented threat in south africa. More than 1,000 have already been killed by poachers this year. From kroger national park, tania paige reports on the operation to save the animals. Reporter a pilot hurts the rhinos in to the heard the rhinos in to the open. Timing is everything and steady hands. The show is the good and the stopwatch starts. The last time he sedated the better. After a few minutes, he falls. Hes been shot with a frank lied tranquilizer in a part of the park thats close to the border with mozambique. Poaches slip through the fence at night. Hes in a lot of danger here. They are after the horns. Which are prized in parts of asia, as a status symbol and for their supposed medicinal benefits, although there are none. Marcus hoff meyer is taking dn actual sample to his help catch poachers. You can take a piece of the horn, and then link it to a specific carcass. Which before was quite difficult in a court case. So thats pretty much a Ground Breaking thing thats been done. Reporter but still only a fraction of poachers are caught and convicted so thats why up to 500 rhinos from poaching hotspots are being moved to safe zones. Some will go to a high security area inside kruger. Others are being sold to private owners. With the proceeds going towards conservation. South africa is home to 80 of the worlds line oh, thats about 20,000 animals. And half of them are here in kruger park. But the park is massive. About 20,000 square kilometers. The same size as israel or wales. And there are only 400 rangers to protect all of those rhino. The rangers are at war with poachers, and its a porous board tore patrol. Their boss says more needs to be done to cut the demand from asia and by mozambique authorities to break up the crime syndicates. How difficult can it be to trace hundreds of horns shipped through your country and out of your country it must be possible to do something about. Reporter they are looking for evidence a they found a sine bullet that killed this rhino and the bones of its fetus, not one but two lives lost in a war that so far the poachers appear to be winner. Tana paige, south after rah. And a reminder that there is more news on our website, aljazerra. Com. Flap awaiting america. Also plus polands taking a stand right in the shadow of russia. Ill talk to the polish ambassador why its pushing so hard against the kremlin. Im ali velshi and this is real money. As the conflict heeth up in heats up in eastern europe, like it or not, it is pushing the crisis into a new cold war with russia. All along, we are looking at the lines forming and beyond. Russian overflights that seem designed to test natos reaction to violations of its air space throughout europe and in ukraine itself, nearly a thousand people have been killed since the government agreed to a ceasefire, with separatist rebels on september the 5th. The number of people displaced in the fighting is more than doubled to half a million refugees and those figures come from a new report released by the United Nations. Goes on to document gross human rights abuses which quote may amount to crimes against humanity. The economy is sinking in part because of the collapsing financial system. Ukrainian banks have shut their doors in the region. Nearly 2 billion in loans are gone delinquent and russia has compensated nearly 200,000 depositors who have been cut off from their accounts. Blame the west for their economic woes, not russia. In fact as the new cold war unfolds, the west will need to contend with the soft power that moscow wields beyond russia. In countries with sizable russian minorities or with historic ties to russian and they include nato members like estonia, latvia and moldova. And bulgaria. This is a familiar sight for many living in eastern europe, soviet style monuments are everywhere. In bulgarias fifth largest city, ceremonies honoring red army soldiers, legacy with moscow. In fact, russia has ties to nearly every part of eastern europe. Thanks to Energy Economics and a diaspora of russian speakers, and enclaves who have spread out over centuries. Like in ukraine, some fear an emboldened russian president Vladimir Putin could further destabilize the region. Andettes in enclaves like these where ooshes putin wields an outsized influence. My personal opinion is russia is started to get involved in ukraine only to help. Without any intention to repoot what happened in crimea. Adrian blames recent tensions in ukraine on natos expansion into eastern europe. Moscows traditional turf. In my opinion, the west won the cold war. And has since been trying to put russia in the corner. Russia in the 1990s was a very weak and many respects humiliated country that was not able to project force. Was not able to defend its interests as it saw them at the time. So when large numbers of former soviet slights joined nato or eu, the russians viewed this as a slight. And yet, despite those memberships, russias roots run deep across eastern europe, in latvia, russian speakers make up over a third of the population. They account for other a quarter of the people in estonia, where the government relocated a statute of a famous soldier. Russia is already there. Its self power, people, secret services, businesses, media. So if you try to deal with russia sort of half, half, buffer zone, russia wins because russia is there. These people used to be pardon of ussr. But in fewer places are russias split loyalties more so than in bulgaria. Bulgarias eu membership actually gives russia a voice in brussels. Bulgaria is often considered moscows most pliable ally. Bulgaria has been called the trojan horse of russia. Even today a symbol of that division is an unfinished russian build natural gas pipeline called south stream. When finished it would bypass ukraine and provide europe with another Transit Route for russian gas. The European UnionCommission Wants to wean itself off riens reliance of that gas. But bulgaria has virtually all of its gas needs met by gazprom. Under pressure to finish this controversial pipeline. Bulgaria has very strong historic link with russia. The slavic people and the luns, th reluctance, rejection of russian people never strong in bulgaria. Particularly in wake of the ukrainian crisis, many poals see poles, see it as particularly dangerous. Those fears are evident here in the gadansk shipyard, where fishes gained momentum back in 1980. Russia claims it has the right to protect ethnic russian communities in neighboring communities. Now that fear has a lot of eastern europeans worried. They think russias incursion into ukraine can be part of muscle flexing. Older poles know all too well what its like to live in russias shadow. Translator im a little scared that the conflict with russia will escalate. Im just keeping my fingers crossed for peace. Andrek has worked in this body shop for the last 30 years. Like many poles he remembers communism, despite the economic ties between the two nations. Translator i think sanction he are right. They must see what they are doing is wrong. In 1990, these were the borders of the soviet union and its eastern block. Two decades later those lines had been redrawn moving nato far closer to russias borders yet it handy wiped russia russias influence from the region. Seems as divided as the old one the only difference now is that russia has proven willing to throw its weight around in places where it still wields power. Well polands ambassador to the United States believes putin will eventually pay a price for his actions. Actions that have resulted in sanctions that i told you earlier this week are actually hurting polands economy. Specifically polish apple farmers, selling a majorities of their apples to russia, are now shut out. I sat down earlier today. I have to be honest with you ambassador when we talk about ambassadors this is serious conversation and i didnt know how exciting it would be and then i saw a video of you on youtube trying to convince americans to buy these delicious polish apples that i had. Watch the video that i have. These baskets should be full. Full of fresh delicious polish apples. Unfortunately the American Market is closed to polish fresh fruits. Dear american friends, please join me in asking the u. S. Government to open the doors for our freedom apples displp we suffered of course from these sanctions being one of the biggest exporters to russia exactly of the fresh apples but also vegetables. So poland is looking for other markets. We are lucky to find new areas for our experts. But the United States market is one of the most demanding, but at the same time, the biggest. And someone might say as theyre watching this, why must we buy polish apples . We have apple orchards in the u. S. You are paying more for your lng than what comes in a pipe. Being liquefied natural gas. The port its the new installation, its great investment of poland. On a remote polish island called swinawushkka construction began three years ago in part inspired by russias decision to turn off gas supplies to ukraine in 2006 and 2009 which affected supplies to several eu countries. Youre also doing Something Else that americans are doing. Youre looking to try and get gas from your shale. The estimates of how much gas you can get looks like about 50 years of polish domestic supply if you can get at it. You have problems. The number of companies that come to invest say its too bureaucratic and too hard to get done and theyve left. Correct. The process of changing the law in poland, for shale gas particularly was a little bit obsolete. Too much bureaucracy as you said. New low had been voted so we have new regulations often that subject. And we hope that it will detract the Foreign Companies and the americans among them. We dont know yet how big are our reserves. They were thought to be very, very big. Now correct. Looks like the extractible amount is small. To know precisely, we need more investment. The drilling cost a lot of money and the companies that come to poland they want to be more sure of the future and financing and what are the profits. Why are you why is poland putting itself on the line so much . Poland are a member of europe, a member of nato. Is there fear that russia will try and interfere in poland . Our history tells us you can never be sure so we took things in our hands. First of all we are in the process of modernization of the polish armed forces. Its a projects practically going project practically going online, which is for next ten years. We are purchasing the most contrary technology. We are contemporary technology. We are probably not the first target for the russians but the situation in ukraine puts us in a very worry situation. We might expect some pressure from russian side. Actually, we dont know what might happen. Probably, it would be worth the noble price if somebody can detect what are the plans of mr. Putin. So we have to be prepared for a different scenario, even the worst one. We are a member of nato. As you said. And the European Union, we have a Great Alliance with the United States. We want to be sure that the article 5 of nato treaty would work in the situation that something happens not necessarily in portland poland,d say the baltic countries are much more exposed than poland. But we want to know that other country members of nato would react properly. So there are certain decisions taken during the recent september nato summit. We were quite happy about it. Now, this is time for implementation of those new initiatives that would put more allied forbe forces on our terr. More exercise more drilling and also the storage places. Not to face the situation that if something happens, it would require month or two even more to react. The polish Ambassador Richard schnaps remarks, its important to keep in mind russias perspective in this new cold war. Experts often refer to russia as a coiled spring. Push it too much and it snaps back. And Many Russians certainly feel that troops have interfered in areas that should have been left alone. A complicated story but one we will continue to tell. Tomorrow night on our week long special, real money serious, the new cold war. Sears, the new cold war. Coming up. Why cut off from their own cash. And american drivers got hurt by something in their own car that was supposed to protect them. Tweet me some disturbing revelations today on violence in ukraine. A United Nations report says even with a ceasefire in place hundreds of thousands of people hundreds have been killed, in addition the number of people displaced by the violence has risen sharply, in the past few months to nearly half a million. The standoff has led kiev to have shart spendin sharp spendig cuts. Including banking in the region. Access to cash is feared to be drying up. Hi ali on the first day, United Nations giving a sense of the continued cost of this human conflict, even while the ceasefire continues. A thousand people have been killed during that two and a half month ceasefire and as that number mounts so does the economic cost. Peoples republic very worried about a threat from ukraine to their Banking Services. For these fouryearolds, kindergarten is a welcome slice of stability. At a time when life in Eastern Ukraine is anything but stable. Staff has been paid for one month out of six. No one knows how long it will be sustained. A single mother has had no child benefit payments since july. Like her colleagues she doesnt want to be identified concerned that criticism of the donetsk peoples republic is likely to be punished. Our government doesnt understand the situation and that little children need invite minutes and its hard to help. If theres somewhere to make money where they pay salaries it would be easier but right now there is no such place. Outside the administration building, desperation and anger have overtaken any fear of reprisal. These women protesting after promised benefit payments did not materialize. We have voted in, we want money for our children. Where is it. Whats interesting about this impromptu protest is who they blame for their plight. Initially they say it was the fault of the ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko and the local president has failed to follow on his promises. Ukraine has promised to shut off Banking Services to the break away regions within days. No one knows how much longer they will be able to access their savings. Not even it seems the self declared government. Theres talk of introducing the russian ruble. We were not ready for this because we were counting on a peaceful solution. So at a very fast pace we are having to work on our own Banking System and we are looking for ways to work to a dual currency system. Theres growing concern about what will happen if the banks shut down and the music stops. So that kindergarten very much reliant they say on contributions from parents to keep it going. And that would be just one of the countless businesses and institutions in this area that would suffer if access to that cash suddenly dried up. Russia is reportedly looking at plans to help step in. But donetsk peoples republic itself, their plans very much in infancy. That adds to the uncertainty in this region, ali. Thank you for that. Russia is not the only country throwing its wa its wa. See how china the words second largest economy is staking its claims in the high north. Tomorrow, 7 eastern. Five debts wasnt enough for two u. S. Senators. They think the company is hiding something. Ill tell you about it in two minutes. Arizona is suing General Motors in the first major suit against the auto maker about the recalls. The state says the auto maker defrauded consumers by failing to recall cars in a timely manner. As you probably know, gm has recalled more than 30 million vehicles this year, cars with defective ignition switches that caused 30 deaths. Gm concealed defects from consumers and regulators to cut costs, boost sales and avoid the negative publicity associated with recalls. Gm says the suit mischaracterizes the facts and says it will fight it. Seeking an estimated 3 billion. An executive for the auto parts maker takata apologized for defective air bags made by that country. Thats not enough for legislators. For a problem that first revealed itself in 2005. Massachusetts senator ed starky was furious. Lisa stark has the story. About whether they truly understand what is causing these defective air bags to explode, some 14 million vehicles worldwide have already been recalled. It involves some ten auto makers but the senators say those recalls do not go far enough. It explodes with such force that this metal shreds. Reporter senator bill Nelson Holding an air bag inflator calling it unacceptable that the device meant to save lives is killing and maming passengers, such as stephanie erdman. Badly injured. Since that day ive endured multiple surgeries and therapies. I have more to go still. My is vision will never be the same. I will never be the same. Reporter injuries similar to those suffered by Corey Burdick in his honda in may. All i know it sounded like a shotgun and my right side went black pitch black. Burdicks car was damaged mildly, but when an air bag deployed a three inch shard of metal flew out and sliced into his face and eye. I realized i was bleeding out of my face. I went down and sit on the curb and i thought i was going to die right there on the curb. Burdick shown here before his accident is now blind in his right eye. On capitol hill an executive with air bag manufacturer takata apologized. We are deeply sorry about each of the reported instances. Reporter but lawmakers wanted answers. Asking takata and two of the affected auto makers, honda and chrysler if they support the broader air bag recall now demanded by the government. All hedged with takata clearly not on board. Its very disturbing i think to any American Family who has a vehicle with a takata air bag to think that thats your position today. After all that we have learned. I think your company is making a big mistake. Gls. Deputyorter also on the hotseas administrator blaming takata for not being forthcoming. We know that takata has not always provided the Auto Industry with accurate information. Reporter little solace to those already harmed. I hope it doesnt happen to anybody else. A thought echoed by stephanie erdman. I ask the committee to do everything in its power to make sure that every vehicle with a defective air bag is made safe. And lawmakers promised to do just that. They want those recalls to be expanded dramatically, they want them to include passenger side air bags not just driver side air bags. And immediately provide a rental car to any owner who has not had their car fixed. Ali. Tremendous military and financial implications. All told the u. S. Spent more than 7 trillion over 40 years to prepare for a direct conflict between superpowers that thankfully never happened. In todays money that comes out to 16. 4 trillion, roughly the equivalent size of americas entire economy today. On the military front both sides subscribe to a doctrine known as mutually assured destruction. If you send your nuks to our cities well retaliate and send you nukes too. Both countries still have their Nuclear War Heads pointed at each other. Meaning if this new cold war ever turns hot, the costs will be too high. Thats our show for today. Im ali velshi.
