Trump's administration tightens rule on asylum

Newsday

Available for over a year

The Trump administration has issued a new rule that would make migrants passing through another country before they reach the US ineligible for asylum. We hear about the demonstrators who have taken to the streets in Algeria and forced former president Bouteflika to resign. We try to find out why a UK-based think tank says that gas-rich Turkmenistan is facing its worst economic crisis in thirty years.
