Hello and welcome to the aljazeera news hour live from my headquarters and me and soprano coming up in the next sixty minutes. Sure happened a long time ago should happen years ago. U. S. President donald trump says hes designated north korea a state sponsor of terrorism paving the way for more sanctions. Tens of thousands of haitian migrants who escaped the two thousand and ten earthquake now face being deported from the u. S. Zimbabwes ruling party begins impeachment proceedings against Robert Mugabe arthur he refuses to resign as president and the head of syrias main opposition body the High Negotiations Committee steps down just days before key talks in saudi arabia. U. S. President donald trump has designated north korea a state sponsor of terrorism tramples so a promise of more sanctions against pyongyang but secretary of state Rex Tillerson says washington hasnt given up on resolving the Nuclear Crisis on the Korean Peninsula through diplomacy she had reports from washington d. C. President trumps of the designation of north korea as a sponsor of terrorism was long overdue 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 at im a lazy an airport and the treatment of american student on 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 there its 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 all in because 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 been implementing. 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 average hansie washington this costs live now to our cost fondant in the south korean capital seoul kathy novak is joining us from there what impact is this move likely to have happened. Well the move allows the u. S. To impose more sanctions on north korea but as we heard there of course there is already a sweeping sanctions program we heard the secretary of state Rex Tillerson there saying that there isnt much more to be done on that front nevertheless the south korean government has welcomed the move saying it along with International Pressure and sanctions will contribute to a peaceful resolution of the north Korean Nuclear issue japans Prime Minister also shims allowed a has welcomed it saying that it will put more pressure on the government in north korea and these this designation as a state sponsor of terrorism was lifted back in two thousand and eight when there were hopes for salvaging the Six Party Talks but of course north korea ultimately walked away from those International Discussions and this move now is part of the u. S. As broader attempt to exert maximum pressure on north korea and force it back to the negotiating table so it is a largely symbolic move but also in a part designed to put pressure on others to take more action against north korea china of course is north koreas largest trading partner or one of its only friends in the world although that relationship has been strained of late there had been some hope of perhaps more dialogue with china sending an envoy to pyongyang it was the highest level of fishel visit in two years that was just wrapped up yesterday and although us sensibly on the surface it was for this chinese and voice to report on the progress of chinas National Party congress the Chinese State media has said that discussion topics included the Korean Peninsula and other issues of common concern when the u. S. Imposed talks about sanctions and the u. N. Also its about pressuring north korea to come back and talk but north korea often sees things sions in a different way it reacts angrily and says it proves that the u. S. Has a hostile policy against north. And often uses that as an excuse to continue to pursue its Nuclear Program elizabeth we havent of course seen a test from the north and over two months now so what is the assessment where you are cathy on whats going on with the north of the sol and your Clear Program while that apparent halt in testing we havent seen as you said a test since back in september had been interpreted in different ways there had been some hope among some that it might signal that the north is willing to return to talks but then other analysts have said that this is cyclical that its simply historically a time of year when we see less activity coming from north korea the south Korean Spy Agency has just updated the National Intelligence committee of the National Assembly and it says that it has seen signs of engine testing at north koreas missile facilities and that there is a possibility that north korea may get test another Ballistic Missile before the end of the year on the Nuclear Front it says that there are no signs of an imminent test at the norths Nuclear Facility though it is ready to conduct another test at any time another thing that the National Spy Agency said is that it is reporting punishment of top military officials this is interesting because apparently this is the first inspection of the political arm of the military in over two decades and it seems that the bureau chief and deputy chief according to south koreas spy agency have been punished elizabeth very interesting kathy thank you very much for that for now thats kathy novak with the latest from seoul thank you. Lets move on to other news now tens of thousands of haitian immigrants are facing deportation from the United States most for an hour then after the two thousand and ten earthquake which destroyed much of haiti but their status was only temporary the trumpet ministration says conditions on the island have improved enough for them to go home assess the special status well and in two thousand and nineteen and gallagher reports now from little haiti in miami. When haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake in two thousand and ten thousands live 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 has allowed recipients to legally live and work in the United States to deport them toward lives where you know they will not be free in the case of haiti i didnt make it marlene bastiaan says removing this 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 thirty 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 nice again although 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. Then i lost my house and i would not. Want to go. Players. Ending the protected status of long established communities is seen by advocates as cruel and unnecessary for years 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 who have now lost their status face the prospect of being sent back to countries they no longer think of as home and they gallacher aljazeera little miami. Well lets get more on this now were joined by Diane Estabrook shes live for us in washington d. C. Tell us more diane about why the trumpet ministration has taken this decision and now. Well its been looking at this decision for a while and now its back in may that it was probably that it would extend it for six months but likely end this program for the haitians and what it said its been coordinating with haiti and its found that the Living Conditions in haiti since the earthquake in two thousand and ten have improved it also says the economy has proved and continues to improve and it says that many of these people that are living in haiti currently who had been in these displacement camps have left those camps but it also plays into the trunk policy of being tougher on immigrants and and cracking down on immigration. The Trump Administration has questioned this plan and some say that this program is sort of a back door into amnesty for some immigrants and how and when can we expect this to be enforced it says the special status will end in two thousand and nineteen so what happens then. Thats right well as far as we know those people have eighteen months to sort of get their ducks in a row and that they will have to leave the country by july twenty ninth teens so im sure well probably be hearing in the months ahead how d. H. Has plans to enforce that law and were talking about sixty thousand people fewer than sixty thousand people here in the u. S.
