should go to the parliament's ethics committee for review and possibly investigation and also the president should be investigated for money laundering she says she has evidence that this is the case

state was in mexico city earlier as part of his tour of latin american countries tensions between the 2 countries have been high as president trump continues his efforts to stop illegal immigration and the wave of asylum seekers arriving at the southern border. areas money iraq war has more now from mexico city . this meeting between us secretary of state mike pump aoe and mexican foreign minister marcello it out is certainly a timely one taking place just one day before the 45 day deadline on a plan between a deal between the united states and mexico to avoid tears being placed on mexican exports unless mexico is able to rein in and curb the flow of migrants making their way making their way north into the united states now that meeting appears to be a positive one both men shook hands posing for photographs the theme of this conversation of course being immigration and this change in policy in the united states related to asylum seekers from central america no longer being eligible for asylum in the united states if they pass through another country there's also a question still there were questions over whether or not mexico would be designated a quote unquote safe 3rd country mexico's foreign minister said that because of the advances in these talks it appears as though mexico will not have to negotiate any sort of term that would designate mexico a safe 3rd country of course ultimately whether or not mexico has met the criteria of the standards set by the trumpet administration for stemming the flow of migrants into the united states will ultimately be up to president trump and the trumpet ministration mexico's already sent thousands of national guard troops to its northern and southern borders seeing an increase of more or less of 88 percent over the last $42.00 days in the apprehensions of migrants making their way to the united states so it appears as though that criteria has been met and the trumpet ministration at least from the visit

countries. those are the top stories this hour there will be more news later on coming up next talk to al-jazeera with u.s. congresswoman ellen. see. hash tag trump is racist and past racist in chief just some of what's been trending on social media platforms off to the us president told some women in congress to go back to the polls totally broken and crime infested places from which they came it wasn't long before a backlash began americans from all walks of life from politicians to raising their voices against donald trump's tweets warning them racist and xenophobic in our normal the 1st muslim woman to be elected to the u.s. congress said as a member of congress the only country reese were in all true is the united states she's been at the receiving end of several of trump's attacks in the past before these latest treats us representative and talked to al jazeera. congresswoman thank you very much for talking to al jazeera and thank you so much for having let's not by talking about today's politics in the united states you've got a president who is arguably the most divisive president you've had in a very long time to say the least that the region has given way to a discourse which is often filled with. hate speech against minorities and society's most vulnerable but at the same time you've got a congress which is probably the most diverse that you've also had in a very long time how's that happened. the polarization in this country really has existed for a long time and what we're seeing right now is an earthling of the kind of cancerous that could really present. but. the positive things that every time when there is a challenge there is an opportunity so because we have the most the face of president we're living in. historically traumatizing time at least in my generation in this country so many people are rising up to not only resist the detrimental policies that are coming from this administration but also insist on having the america we all know we deserve so that's why you're seeing the rise of so many people who have always sat on the margins of society say this is our time to seek our seat at the table we have to make sure that we're representing all of our voices but i mean a lot of people would say that those examples of hope let's say your positivity in the face of. the more thoughtful they don't necessarily represent a strong enough trend that would give hope what do you say to them. oh i think it's the contrary i mean we've seen what hope and change can produce with obama and we're seeing what hope and change can produce with like he said the most diverse congress. there has been a really great opportunity for people to mass mobilize this particular year in my district we increased for a turnout by 100000 and we did that because people were extremely eager to get involved and make sure that their voice was at the table i'm going to come back to obama on the idea and concept of hope but let me just stay with trump here for a 2nd because he's also been accused of colluding with foreign governments right during his campaign and then obstructing justice in the investigation to that collusion do you think that he should be impeached i always said it wasn't the question of whether he should be impeached it's when. and we are seeing now so many people are coming to that conclusion and this president said he didn't see any problem in having forint hostile government intervene in our elections he didn't understand how that could be a problem i mean to be fair he said he didn't see anything wrong with a foreign government giving evidence or against one of the candidates rights that in itself is problematic we do not accept information that is going to change that to reject 3 of our elections from hostile governments we've made that very clear he knows that even senator graham lindsey graham said you know this is a mistake and this is not in line with law and we want to make sure that. that this country that is a country of law remains that way are you worried though that if there was a case of impeachment and it was successful there would be a huge backlash because trump has often position to myself as the representative of the voice of middle america of working class white working class americans that he claims have been marginalized for so long now if you was impeached he would most certainly try and build that as an attack on democracy and an attempt by the liberal elites as he often refers to them to silence white working class americans and in the climate you have in the u.s. where very easily people can pick up weapons and maybe take action in their own hands are you not fearful that attempt at some peach months could create a massive violent backlash absolutely not i mean when we think back to the impeachment of nixon. over 60 percent of americans did not believe in starting impeachment proceedings. right now it's less than 60 percent by the time within i think 10 months of those proceedings the number of americans didn't think we should have started was at. here's one example samson a president who would tell his supporters to attack journalists he wasn't somebody who would ride that kind of hatred amongst people when it comes to the issues of protecting our nation we can't have it be a political thing i think there are people who are making political considerations but this is a matter of protecting our constitution we took an oath and we have to uphold that oath and we can't allow law and lawlessness to rule this nation critics of your party say that the reason why the democrats want to impeach trump is because they can't beat him up the polls you still don't have a cure candidate for the 2020 presidential election is the only one in the democratic party that you feel represents your views there are many what we are interested in and excited about is the progressive movement that says we don't leave anyone behind. and there are so many amazing candidates that are running on the democratic candidate that are right now getting him in the polls i mean you look at bernie sanders senator warren and even some of the other ones there is a great opportunity for us to speak directly to the american people to talk to them about what it means for us to have economic justice what it means for us to have the kind of prosperity that is supposed to be guaranteed so you're wrong in this country saunders a more i love this i haven't decided. who to support publicly yet because i think it is too early there are great opportunities for people to hear from all of the candidates without leaders getting involved in choosing sides so you talk about this progressive movement that's being born out of the demagogue. at a party together with congresswoman richie don't leap was a palestinian american you have xandra cusser cortez the youngest in congress i believe you were seen as that new generation right. but in reality you're just an exception to the rule i mean you don't really have the support of the old guard of the democratic party in fact when you were under attack by many in the right wing media you had the more senior figures in the democratic party like nancy pelosi not come out and defend you in fact you know some would say pursue was perceived as maybe pushing you into a corner. when so support i think is measured by the people who do the elected to represent them in congress and so i represent a district that is 70 percent white. i won my general election by 80 percent there are a lot of. people who are not just moderates are also progressives who are not just young or diverse that believe in the vision that i believe in and those are the people that we want to have a conversation with and talk to them about the kind of direction we want to lead this country what's a bigger struggle for you the struggle against trump and the right wing or the struggle against the political establishment that maybe also isn't willing to accept for this progressive politics. i mean i think the bigger struggle that we have it's against people who don't want change and so that would be the status quo or anyone who has benefited from the kind of political structure that existed that is pinned against one another that is allowed for few to benefit on the backs of many is really who we are struggling against when we are talking about a lifting all people it doesn't matter whether you are black or white whether you're an immigrant or not. a majority of us are struggling to pay our student debt majority of us are struggling to have proper housing majority of us are struggling to have proper education majority of us are one step away from filing bankruptcy if we were stricken with an illness and so that. to me is the majority of americans in the majority of americans want people who will put them in the center of our politics and not put the few and the greedy in the center of our politics. so just one last question on this point the right wing attacked you almost constantly since you've come into office and some commentators have said it's because your body everything the hate i mean your black visibly muslim woman do you think that's true that's the reason behind them i'm also on you surprise now going back to your point about the hope that obama brought term don't you feel a bit disappointed that the man who built that idea and concept of hope and based it on the fact that he was challenging a lot of the inherent underlying racism that exists in the political establishment but he hasn't come up to support a more focused on the massive support. that i have on a grassroots level the amount of people that see my story as an inspiration. the kind of rallies that happen in my home state when people like pence or trump. set food on on the soils of minnesota that's the people that i care about those are the opinions that matter to me and those are the people who i fight for you nancy. but i mean that i knew that and i think you know i don't rush and it's problematic because you know if it's as if you're talking to a child and you say oh no no you don't worry about the support that you have from your parents or you worry that you're not getting support from your teacher where you put plays well over and i for mission is what matters to you and i don't really necessarily care about leaders with titles that might support me what i care about is the people that i fight for and do i have their support one of the things that you were attacked for war were comments you made or part of the comments that were made about 911 can you clearly state your what your views are about the 911 attacks so horrific attacks there's no question about that that's not a debatable thing. innocent americans lost their lives that day we all. mourn their deaths i mean it was one of the most devastating days of american life of my life of my family's of the families that lost. their or their family members and so that's not debatable and i think it's quite disgusting that people even question that and want to debate that i think what is important is the larger point that i was speaking to which is about making sure that blame isn't placed on the whole faith that we as muslims are not collectively blamed for the actions of terrorists i do not blame every single white person when we have. a white man who massacres. children at a school or in you know moviegoers in a movie theater and i think this really horrendous marriage if that says that as a muslim i'm supposed to explain apologize. for the actions of. someone who is also terrorizing me is absurd ok let's move to more international issues you're on the congress's foreign affairs committee and. there's a revolution taking place and so damn right now people have been massacred by the military drones are there the reports. soldiers of militia loyal to the military trying to have raped women before killing them why has the us been so silent about saddam. i wouldn't say that we have been so silence and i talked about it in committee we. so often there is not paying attention to. the kind of condemnations that are happening i think there are 2 things we all understand that there is an atrocity happening in sudan but comparative i need something to put into context here this is a militia that are massacring people the danger with militia when they were committing crimes in darfur you had the us calling for sanctions you had much much more visible anger and condemnation and action being taken by the u.s. however now you have those similar shot under the military junta cracking down on pro-democracy protesters but maybe because the drug is now allied with us as our allies in the region and the program to suppress calls for democracy or maybe because the u.s. isn't interested or maybe because these are protesters that we don't necessarily know as americans what they stand for there definitely years a much more muted response to what is taking place and so before you cut me off what i was getting into was that. our response has not been what has been muted is the reporting on our response. you know chairman angle on foreign affairs myself and others on the foreign affairs committee even the. ambassador. to africa has spoken about this this horrendous. silencing of democratic movements. and the atrocities that are being committed. but i think you make a point to whose pain is more. felt and whose pain is more. deserving of an outcry and i think the blame really isn't about on it's unnecessary only on us as members of congress and as leaders but i think of the blame is also placed on. on the media outlets that we feel loose to have an outreach 24 hour reporting on atrocities that happen in muslim countries in muslim soil when the atrocities being committed by an ally so let me ask you this. venezuela and you've spoken about venezuela. u.s. has imposed sanctions on it has called for emergency u.n. security council discussions on it in fact was president mike pence addressed one of them even though that it's very clear that there is both support and opposition to the government there. yet with the. quoting to most international observers and human rights organizations a vast majority of people are actually opposed to the military. it's not as clear cut or it's a lot more clear cut rather than israel's when you look at these 2 examples where you have a very clear your conservative political program to isolate a government that still enjoy some support within its people on the one hand and was elected through what many would consider to be free and fair elections in venezuela and on the other hand you have a military terms of wasn't elected has committed massacres yet you have a much softer response explain that for us so now i think i understand your question more clearly i mean when we're thinking about the way that this administration is handling our foreign policy that i think is where you notice these extreme hypocrisy is that that have existed and made of existed but now are very clear that they're not gray anymore it's very black and white and so in the case of you could see that black and white between our reaction in sudan and then our reaction to venezuela. the interesting piece i think here is the regional actors within within this conflict in sudan i mean we have so many rebiya in the m.r.i. it's who have had a long history at least 24 year history. of shutting down democratic movements in the region who have had a hand in the oppression of people who seek. to have liberation and self reliance and self-determination and their interest really is what we seem to advance when it comes to that region and i talked about how can we make a decision to sell. to saudi arabia knowing that they have been part of causing one of the most atrocious humanitarian crises in yemen when we know that they have a hand in. in what's happening right now in sudan what's happening in libya and i mean the list can go on and on and on and continue to say that they are and how i when we. know that there is more that needs to be done to make sure that we tell them as our allies that we want them to carry out an interest that represents our values why do you think that arms are still being sold to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates why is it that despite congress even trying to maybe limit some of those arms deals you've had the president circumvents congress and what should be done to put an end to that because a lot of people. congresswoman have been talking about russian commission with the trumpet ministration for an intervention from other powers like russia but the influence of the united arab emirates and saudi arabia on the political. start of serum the united states today has a largely gone even though maybe a bit reported in the media but has gone on checked by by lawmakers are allied with everybody and says the more. i believe that. it is one of the most absurd. ships that doesn't fit with any of our values and you know when we think about what is in the interest of our national security it is. in trusting them to help us with that so i think having. trusting a thief to watch over your shop. we know that they can't be trusted in that process and so this is this profiteering process and and the kind of interest that we haven't even talked about between the trumpet ministration and and. the m.r.i. it's really is one that we are hopeful will get to the bottom of it we are on the in the process of investigating really how. this particular ship in this relationship. is is not in the best interest of the united states and the american people how do we bring that to light so that the american people are aware of. the kind of really corruption that might be involved in it and how do we. make sure that our weapons are not getting in the hands of people who are going to use them to commit more us wassa these examples. of. weapons that are. offensive and not just for use of defense which the state department. you know is saying that the have been interested in helping saudi arabia defend not only their interests but the interests of americans but we're selling them off ends of weapons these are weapons that have been used to attack schools they've been weapons have been used to attack hospitals yet many of those under bridges sanctions should be imposed on them oh certainly. we you know should. have an arms embargo and not be able to sell weapons to countries that are committing human rights atrocities and i want to end with a personal question if you don't mind you your journey started off as a refugee and adopt as a lawmaker in the world's most powerful country tell us a bit about maybe the secret behind it was this always your passion was this always your how did you reach to where you are who has influenced you most in the strong. my journey is. one that really has been about just fighting to see a brighter day and i don't think i really had a destination i was always very present in the journey at a very beautiful childhood in somalia up to the age of 8 lived through the horrors of of life in a refugee camp. when through the disaster is transition of not just teenage hood but learning a language in a new country. and found i think. a space where i could thrive as someone who really really believed that you have a role in in what you have to more looks like and so my work in trying to make sure that i wasn't just there in seeing a better tomorrow for myself but for my neighbors for my children for everyone around me has let me on on a path of political organizing and activism that got me elected into the state house the feeding of 44 year in company and now has given me the opportunity and the privilege of serving my state and my country in the united states of congress congresswoman thank you very much for talking to others or if you see. i. in one lifetime we cannot see everything with our own. without testimony we would know very little witness documentaries that open your eyes on al-jazeera oh. hello i'm maryam namazie in london with a quick look at headlines now iran's foreign minister has accused the u.s. national

markets creates profits and generates an endless cycle of production and consumption. we live on credit our homes cars schools and government expenditures are financed by borrowing. data has become the engine of our growth the lifeblood of our global economy. it's an economic machine impacting the global economy with more and more date being produced day in and day out. this debt machine has grown to epic proportions and now seems to have spiraled out of control public debt the debt held by governments is soaring. the eurozone is having a much harder time then other economies emerging

critical threshold has been largely exceeded by most european countries that can stretch and get us what he asked about it some more now.
