Hello and welcome to World News Today. | :00:42. | :00:59. | |
The Trump administration has announced it's scrapping a policy | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
that protects young undocumented migrants in the United States | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
The policy known as Daca was introduced | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
in 2012 by President Obama, who wanted to give them | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
It's estimated that around 800,000 people are affected | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
The US attorney general, Jeff Sessions, said the policy | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
was unconstitutional and an open-ended circumvention | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
The executive branch, through Daca, deliberately sought to achieve | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorise | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
The effect of this unilateral executive amnesty, among other | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
things, contributed to a surge of minors at the southern border | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
that yielded terrible humanitarian consequences. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
It also denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
by allowing those same illegal aliens to take those jobs. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
We can speak now to the BBC's Richard Lister in Washington. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
In the President Trump are also policies. Some have been scuppered | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
by the practicalities of Washington. Will this definitely happen? I don't | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
think so, far from it. What he has done is he's seen over the past few | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
months the political realities of this situation, which is the vast | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
majority of Americans believe that these people should be allowed to | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
stay. They have known no other country, for most part, for the full | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
lives. He has made some statements about how he loves the Dreamers. He | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
has campaigned on the fact that she will abolish this legislation and | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
the Conservative people are holding on to it. He's pointed it over to | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
Congress. Congress have been trying to do it is diverse and why. The | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
idea they can do it in the next six months is optimistic. What are the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
politics and Congress? Plenty of a there represent parts of America | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
close to the border, where there are thousands of immigrants. This is one | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
of the reasons why this kind of legislation has never been passed, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
the Republican party is divided on it. Some of the comments today, John | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
McCain, a prominent Republican, said that what was announced today was | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
the wrong approach to immigration policy. Republican Congress manner | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
with a opposing it you said that this would be political suicide if | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
Daca isn't abolished. It is conceivably possible that Congress | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
could decide that they feel that the American people believe these | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
800,000 individuals should be allowed to remain. That's what | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Donald Trump came into office promising would never happen. One | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
less thing to understand, whilst his process happens, will they be | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
immediate consequences for any of these 800,000 people? Not really. As | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
far as these people are concerned, if they have currently signed up to | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
a two year work permit, which we all will have done, work or study, they | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
will be allowed to sit out for these two years. They will remain in the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
US for that time. If their prominence are due to expire before | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
that time, they have an -- until early October to renew. They have a | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
two-year window to wait and see what happens. If Congress decides that | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
they should not be allowed to remain after that, they are liable for | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
deportation, even though it has been stressed they would not be a | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
high-priority target. Our website has more | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
on President Trump's decision to end Including this video | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
about Jesus Contreras, who helped rescue flood victims | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
after Hurricane Harvey hit Texas. Russian President Vladimir Putin | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
says further sanctions against North Korea are useless | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
and that ramping up military preparations could lead | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
to global catastrophe. It comes after the US said it | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
would table a new UN resolution on tougher sanctions in the wake | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
of the latest test of Of the eastern coast | :05:48. | :05:51. | |

packages from my country as long as it relies on reckless | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
provocations and futile attempts Those attempts include further | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
squeezing North Korea's economy. But some don't think | :06:46. | :06:58. | |
that's a good idea. TRANSLATION: The use of sanctions | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
of any kind in this case is already As I told my colleagues yesterday, | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
they will eat grass but they will not give up this | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
programme if they do not feel safe. South Korea doesn't feel safe either | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and so were setting up this American anti-missile defence system designed | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
to shoot down enemy rockets. And now President Trump has said | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
he is allowing Japan and South Korea to buy more sophisticated military | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
equipment from the US. He's also agreed to remove limits | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
on these South Korean missiles. Lifting restrictions on the weight | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
of the warheads they can carry. It's this country, South Korea, | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
which has the most to lose Some people here even still have | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
family living up in the north. They've heard these threats | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
for so long now that they've almost And yet things are | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
a bit different now. TRANSLATION: The experiment | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
North Korea did this time was much larger in scale and so it | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
makes me nervous. This woman says she is worried | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
but she doesn't believe war Barely 50 kilometres | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
from the border with North Korea, people here live each day | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
with the knowledge that they are vulnerable, | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
but with a strong belief that the peace that has held | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
for more than 60 years In Harvard for us is | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
Professor Graham Allison, who served as Assistant US Secretary | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
of Defense in the first Clinton Administration, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
when they too had to consider what to do about Pyongyang's | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
weapons programme. What advice did you offer them and | :08:45. | :09:03. | |
what advice would you offer the Trump administration now? This could | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
stars is different but if they go back to 1994, that was when North | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
Korea was for the first time acquiring the mature real for | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
nuclear weapons. It was believed at the time that I was there that we | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
should offer two options to North Korea, eliminate the material we | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
will do so by an air strike. I strongly supported that | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
recommendation and even in retrospect I believe that that was | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
our best choice. We knew, however, that in response to that North Korea | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
could conceivably have attacked Seoul and initiated a second Korean | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
War. This is the land of lousy options. He failed in Iraq and now | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
North Korea has 60 nuclear weapons. -- we have failed. It has the | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
ability to deliver nuclear weapons against Japan, South Korea and is | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
just about to be able to secure capability against the West Coast. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Today, given that North Korea has weekly weapons and the capacity to | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
deliver weapons against South Korea, Japan, including American bases, I | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
think a military option needs to make it as credible as possible. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
It's extremely difficult to make credible. I would have reservations. | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
What did you make about China's statement that it would not allow | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
war on the peninsula? South Korea and China are both saying they can | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
think of four on the peninsular because it is almost a navigable. -- | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
think of war on the. But I'm in the business of thinking about the | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
unthinkable is. The US couldn't imagine what against China, | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
MacArthur couldn't even imagine it. Chairman Mao certainly didn't want a | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
war with the US but it came. What they are expressing is there hope | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
and aspiration that there would not be a war but also their fears that | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
the consequence of the chain of evidence we are now seeing could | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
actually end in a war. -- chain of events. Would you agree that what | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
we've seen in the past few days is the evidence of the will's great | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
powers to do anything about this? -- the world's great progress. Has the | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
chance past? This is a good reminder that great powers are not as great | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
as they might imagine they are. A little, isolated country like North | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
Korea, if it is determined to do so, can build nuclear weapons and | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
capabilities to deliver them. This also reminds us that the failures to | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
act when you can act preventively lead you often to circumstance in | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
which your options have narrowed and they've gotten worse. I think this | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
is a case that gives us too sharp reminders of the necessity to try to | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
deal with the stitch in time that saves dying or the action that can | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
be taken at the point at which it can be taken. Interesting to talk. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |

Let's take a look at some of the other | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
A row over how much money Britain should pay | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
the European Union when it leaves will go on until the Brexit | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
That's according to the UK's Brexit minister David Davis. | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
He's been briefing MPs at the start a new session of Parliament. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
He said the talks had been tough and confrontational. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
A four-year-old girl in Italy has died of malaria, | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
where the disease was eradicated several decades ago. | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
Sofia Zago died in Brescia, in northern Italy, on Sunday night. | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
Doctors are puzzled about how she contracted the disease | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
as the girl hadn't visited any countries where malaria is common. | :13:12. | :13:27. | |
Bangladesh has called on world leaders to put pressure | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
on the Burmese government to take back Rohinja Muslims, | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
who've fled the recent fighting in Myanmar. | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
The UN says another 35,000 have crossed the border | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
Our correspondent Sanjoy Majumder sent this report | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
from near the border of Bangladesh and Myanmar's Rakhine State - | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
where the vast majority of Rohingya Muslims live. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
These are the latest batch of Rohingya refugees who've arrived | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
Lots of children, as you can see, a lot of women. | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
They're exhausted, because whatever food they had to eat along | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
But the biggest thing for them is, they've made it to relative safety. | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
Now, over on that side is Myanmar's Rakhine State where, | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
over the past few days, we've seen fresh fires break out, | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
There's no way, of course, to verify this, and these people | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
What they'll do now is head to any temporary shelter they can find - | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
by the side of a hill, inside a building, just to get | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
The biggest thing now is, even though they've got | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
here to safety, what'll happen to them next? | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
They have to be fed and then, eventually, they need | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
to find some place to live, some place to build | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
Sanjoy Majumder reporting there from the Bangladesh border. | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
Just as the clean-up begins after hurricane Harvey, islands | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
across the Caribbean are being told to speed up their preparations | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Irma is churning in the Atlantic ocean | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
as a category five hurricane, the most severe designation, | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
pushing towards the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
The exact path is hard to predict, but many are now bracing | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
With me is Stav Danaos from the BBC weather service. | :15:11. | :15:22. | |
visit is dangerous. Wind gusts over 200 miles an hour, 185 mph sustained | :15:23. | :15:36. | |
wind speed. This has put it into one of the top three strongest ever | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Atlantic hurricanes. This is seriously powerful. It is moving | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
westwards at the moment and will continue to do so. By the early | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
hours, 7am, GMT, it will make landfall across some of the Isles, | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
potentially Antigua. The strongest winds are around the eye. This is | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
the image showing have take the eye is. It is quite a small area in | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
comparison to the size of the store but with this area makes landfall as | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
we -- is where there will be devastation. How does it compare | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
with Harvey? It's different. Harvey weakened as it made landfall and it | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
almost stalled, it became and intense phenomenal rain event. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
That's why we saw such huge amounts of April. The wind wasn't really a | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
problem. This system is dangerous because of the potential flooding, | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
damaging winds, catastrophically dangerous winds. Also a significant | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
storm surge, because the storm is so deep, the low pressure is so deep. | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
One of the places in Irma's sights is Cuba. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
The BBC's Will Grant joins us now from Havana. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
Tell us about the preparations that I imagine are being planned. They | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
are, at this stage they are mainly plant at a level of neighbourhood. | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
-- been declined. Individual families getting ready. Cuba knows | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
how to get ready for hurricanes but so far there hasn't been a huge | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
amount of preparation at a Government level. A few days to go | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
before it reaches Cuba and they are waiting to see exactly what the | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
trajectory will be, I think. The story at this stage is further east | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
than Cuba, in the direction in which the hurricane Irma is ticking. It | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
looks set to hit some of the smaller Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico is | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
getting ready and they look very likely to receive the product of | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
this storm. Quite a lot, perhaps too many Cubans, banking on the fact it | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
might lose some of its power between hereunder. Presumably, Cuba has a | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
lot of experience dealing with storms. If it does come their way, | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
this will not be a complete shock? Absolutely, in the past they've | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
shown that they listen to the instructions, so if they are ordered | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
to evacuate they do so. There are other difficulties in other parts of | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
the Caribbean of people, particularly in rural areas, | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
insisting to stay with their animals, that is not such a problem | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
in Cuba because of the centralised Government and they control, they | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
tend to do what they are told when told to do so by the state. That | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
said, the idea of this hurricane would run along the northern | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
coastline of Cuba, picking up our weather, causing foot soldiers, is | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
particularly worrying. -- causing flood surges. If the storm does | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
avoid stupor, we will have to keep an eye on it. | :19:11. | :19:11. | |
Vladimir Putin claims that 4000 Russian citizens | :19:12. | :19:12. | |
are fighting in Syria on the side of so-called Islamic State. | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
Many of them have travelled there from the Russian | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
Our Russia correspondent Steve Rosenberg has travelled | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
to Dagestan to find out why people are leaving and what it means | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
They used to believe that this is where the gods | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
In Dagestan today, the battle cry is Jihad for people leaving these | :19:30. | :19:43. | |
Artur Magomedov says his wife was drawn to radical Islam. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
One day without telling him, she took their two daughters | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
and left for Syria to join so-called Islamic State. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
Desperate to rescue his children, Artur smuggled himself | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
into Isis-controlled territory in Syria. | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
To escape from the caliphate, they headed to the Turkish border. | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
TRANSLATION: I picked up my little girl and told my | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
The Turkish border guards were just 50 metres away | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
We dived into an irrigation ditch and hid there with | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Then we escaped through some long grass and I saw | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
TRANSLATION: My youngest daughter asked me later, | :20:34. | :20:46. | |
how come everyone else has a mother and I don't? | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
But I know the girls are still in touch with their | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
It's not only from this house, this village that people | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
Dagestan has become a key recruiting ground for Islamic State. | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
The authorities here say that 1200 Dagestanis have | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
That means that, relative to its population, this part | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
of Russia has produced ten times more jihadists than Belgium, | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
which is Europe's top source of fighters for the caliphate. | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
What has been drawing Dagestanis to Syria? | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
Marat says he was brainwashed by radical preachers online. | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
He had abandoned his pregnant wife in Dagestan for jihad in Syria. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
TRANSLATION: I felt my sole duty was to wage holy | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
It was just Muslims fighting Muslims. | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
Some claim the authorities have made the situation worse. | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
In this town, I'm shown the mosque of a fundamentalist branch of Islam. | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
He admits that up to six members of the congregation | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
But closing the mosque, he says, is no solution. | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
When the young people are here with us, he says, | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
But shut the mosque and the young people leave. | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
Who knows where they go and what they are doing? | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Islam is part of the fabric of life in these mountains. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
But the kind of Islam the authorities want people | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
here to embrace is an Islam that preaches tolerance and that | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
supports the Government, so that Dagestanis won't feel | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
A court has ordered a French celebrity magazine to pay ?100,000 | :22:51. | :23:02. | |
in damages to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for publishing topless | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
photos of the Duchess five years ago. | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
The photographs, taken when William and Kate | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
were on holiday at a private chateau in Provence, were printed | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
On one side of the Channel today, there was barely | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
a front-page without her - the Duchess of Cambridge, | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
Her private life a cause for media interest, national comment, | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
But when does interest become intrusion? | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
In the Paris suburbs today, judges ruled that French | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
celebrity magazine Closer did invade her privacy by | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
publishing topless photos of the Duchess on holiday. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
The magazine Editor and Chief Executive were each | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
fined 45,000 euros - the maximum penalty, | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
C'est le montant maximum prevu par la loi. | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
The Royal couple were also awarded 100,000 euros in damages. | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
A high figure for France, but far smaller than the 1.5 million | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
The lawyer for Closer described the amount requested | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
as extravagant and said the private lives of | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
the Royal Family were a matter of public interest. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
TRANSLATION: The photos showed a couple in love. | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
And I'll remind you that in the case of the Duke's parents, | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
we were led to believe that they adored each other | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
by being given official photographs and it wasn't the reality. | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
Here, at least, the photos aren't offensive and show | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
It's in the public interest to know that. | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
The Duke of Cambridge said the clandestine way the photographs | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
were taken had been particularly shocking and all the more painful | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
given the way his mother, Diana, had died here in Paris, | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
In a statement after today's ruling, Kensington Palace described | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
photographs as a serious breach of privacy and said the couple | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
wished to make the point strongly that this kind of unjustified | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
Last week, William went to view tributes laid to Princess Diana | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
on the twentieth anniversary of her death. | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
Having watched the media make both hero and hostage of his mother, | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
the Duke of Cambridge seems determined to stop the same thing | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
Don't forget you can get in touch with me and some | :25:33. | :25:42. | |
