S. Media is reporting that john kerry made the comments while discussing Immigration Reforms with democratic politicians they want guarantees to protect undocumented migrants before backing a spending bill to avoid a Government Shutdown. Hes adjusted the way hes looked at the south asia strategy in afghanistan he said very definitely changed attitudes towards a darker issue than even the war once we briefed him when i was at the h. S. So he has evolved in the way hes looked at Things Campaign to governing are two Different Things and this president is very very very flexible in terms of what is within the realm of the possible she have a chance he has more now from washington d. C. Once again allegedly behind closed doors someone very senior in the Trump Administration seemed to be badmouthing donald trump suggesting that his key signature policy on the campaign trail had been uninformed to build the wall and make mexico pay for it john kerry chief of staff saying he had to explain to donald trump that i would not be possible the problem is the dog in public at least shows no sign of having evolved as kelly suggests which makes it even more confusing as members of congress try to understand where the trumpet ministration actually stands on these issues of immigration which will become key to funding the government in the future democrats say unless theres a deal on immigration by friday they wont vote for a continuing resolution to fund the government and the government might shut down on friday having said that there are lots of other machinations on capitol hill which might avoid a shutdown by giving the democrats an extension of a Child Health Insurance program and once again kicking the immigration issues down the road north and south korea will march under a unified flag at the Opening Ceremony at next months Winter Olympics and also feel that john womans eye socket seen to the games in pyongyang chung in south korea it follows the first time of a meeting between the north and south in more than two years but the apparent reconciliation efforts are opposed by many in the south with several petitions filed against it well kathy novak joins us live now from the south korean capital seoul cafe so not all South Koreans are happy with their governments newfound friendship with the north how are people there feeling. Well its interesting daryn when you talk to South Koreans i think overwhelmingly they are pragmatic they want a peaceful situation here on the Korean Peninsula but increasingly there are fewer people who were alive before the one nine hundred fifty s. And remember a unified korea so they are taught in school for example that korea is one that they are one people but when it comes to this idea of National Unity it seems to be more in theory to more south Korean People so a poll for example found that only four out of ten support this idea of the koreas marching under a unified Korean Peninsula flag at the Opening Ceremony and we talked to people in the streets about how they felt about this move for more unity at the olympics they said they support the idea in general its good for peace efforts but for example they dont want the government to pay the expenses for the North Koreans and they dont want the south korean hockey players to be made to miss out by forming this unified koreas Ice Hockey Team to make way for the north korean players for example different circuits you have a significant result of this than. Well i think in terms of intercourse relations its certainly significant you have this agreement that also includes seeing South Koreans going into north korea for joint training exercises and a joint cultural event of course its illegal for the most part for South Koreans to visit north korea and this is all happening after no communication between the two governments in more than two years but many skeptics are pointing to the Bigger Picture that yes this is an agreement over the olympics but what about the bigger question of the Nuclear Threat from north korea and the Japanese Foreign minister has been very vocal about that saying that the world should not be naive about north koreas intent he called it a Charm Offensive on the part of north korea and reminded his counterparts at a meeting in canada that even now north korea is continuing to develop its Nuclear Missiles program. Thank you. U. S. President donald trump is accusing russia of helping north korea to evade International Sanctions but hes provided no evidence in an interview with the Reuters News Agency because delta with the talks with north koreas leader kim jong il would be useful trump also wont appear on youngs getting closer to delivering a long range missile that could reach the u.

The scene for us there on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there are people there are choosing between buying medication and eating they say is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone whos an activist just posted a story join the global conversation at this time on aljazeera. Welcome back a quick recap of the top stories here this out ethiopia is free of the Opposition Leader that of at the dinner was detained during antigovernment protests and twenty fifty the government released more than four hundred of those what it says is a National Reconciliation. The white house chief of staff reportedly said president Trumps Campaign promises on immigration work on informed us media said john kenny made the comments while discussing Immigration Reform with democratic politicians.

Now the me too movement has been in the global spotlight in the past few months when to speak out about Sexual Harassment and abuse but as particle hand reports the election of donald trump as a us president has also played into that movement and a clear impact. Women in politics preserve protect and defend there was no comparison donald trump had his day so help me god and the very next one women had theirs. In washington d. C. The largest protest in the history of the country women across america and the world marched to reject the president his sexist actions comments and past allegations of Sexual Assault he was even caught on tape bragging about it. And he was still a leftist. The question at the time was this a moment or a movement i never thought that i would do this until i went to the womens march in washington d. C. Best let this be the beginning empowered women like rebecca cola ran for elected office in virginia a Record Number ran eleven toppled long serving male politicians its been happening across the country. And i just say to donald trump keep your hands off seattle. Women are running like never before and winning in large part because women are also voting in huge numbers because of trump the worst could possibly happen actually happened and we have someone unqualified to be leading this country a long time feminist icon Gloria Steinem is in a unique position to judge this movement she told me she believes it is here to stay it is beginning to shift and i think i think were beginning to see that there is no gender. People or people but. Then beyond race and beyond gender were just going to have less of a system that political scientist laura brown says will change because of this she predicts women will have parity in government in a decade or so what you see here is that enough women are finally getting involved at all. The local and state level to ensure that there will be a strong bench of women candidates ready to run for those higher level offices in the coming years and decades one year in and it appears there is something donald trump is making great again feminism although it is highly unlikely that was his intention to call him aljazeera washington and on thursday as part of our look at president trumps first year in office well examine the impact of his Foreign Policy in the middle east.
