it done, you look at how bad it is and one sided it is. >> the families of those released say they're just happy to have their loved ones free. as ali rezaian put it, congress told the president to use everything add hits disposal to bring the americans home. lisa stark, al jazeera, washington. >> turning to in context segment, the sliding price of oil. the price of crude down to $28, still below that $30 a barrel mark. and with iran sanctions lifted, analysts think that price will continue to fall. iran's been stockpiling oil for years and expected to flood an already saturated record. shrinking revenue in iraq is causing tension in regional governments and the country's able to fight i.s.i.l. more on that from osama ben

javad in erbil. >> the regional government in northern iraq exports over half a million barrels of oil a day but its problems with the government in central baghdad are hurting the economy. it owes builts to oil firms and financial institutions and has stopped 600 public projects including schools hospitals and roads. in addition to helping 2 million displaced people, it also needs to find money for its fight against i.s.i.l. >> the biggest problem is the oil oil prices and that's wreaked havoc. both sides would be having trouble sort of paying the bills. >> reporter: the kurdish region's economy is almost exclusively dependent on the energy sector.

the krg estimate that it has nearly 3% of the world's oil and gas reserves. but many politicians see it as more of a challenge than an opportunity. infrastructure to export gas is still being built. the kurdish region's gas exporting segment is said to come in 2016. on top of the financial and regional issues, there is corruption. >> translator: yes, it's true that we have a problem of corruption. we don't have national institutions. many of the politician he are oil dealers and they own companies that transport and export oil. >> national government transports its oil to turkey. with the low price of oil in conflict nearby, iraq's kurdish region continues to struggle to

provide for its people. osama ben javad, al jazeera, erbil. >> joins upatricia sabga joins . >> iran says it's going to start pumping half a million barrels more than it's already pumping per day and it would be back to its presanction level of 3.4 million barrels per day. keep in mind people say that's rather ambitious but the point is vaughn back, it's pumping and it's pumping into a mark that is awash in cheap oil already. that's going to increase supply even more much to the chagrin of saudi arabia, bitter regional rival, saudi arabia has orchestrated the opec policy of continuing to keep the taps wide open as it's watched oil prices drop from $110 per barrel to its

current level of $28. that's a 75% drop. >> a huge drop. how long do we continue to keep the taps on as you say? >> saudi arabia can't keep this up. their break even is over $100 per barrel. they are cutting energy subsidies, welfare benefits and it's not just saudi arabia that's under pressure. other oil producers are under pressure as well. many of them don't enjoy the cushion either of large foreign exchange reserves. saudi arabia has 640 billion of foreign exchange reserves. others don't, they already spent their windfall, countries like venezuela. russia has foreign exchange reserves but nothing on par at saudi arabia has. what this smeens a lot of these countries -- means is, a lot of these countries, with generous welfare benefits, generous subsidies and a lot of these oil-producing nations can't

afford to do that. that is tantamount to breaking a social contract, when you break a social contract with people that can lead to political unrest and geopolitical instability. >> there are a lot of issues here, low gas prices allow low do we actually expect these prices to get? >> some analysts are calling oil to reach $20 a barrel and now we see oil settle below $30 a barrel it really sets the stage if you will for oil to keep dropping to $20 a barrel. the stage is definitely set for lower oil prices ahead because really what it takes in order to get oil prices up it's not just the logic of the market. the logic of the market should be telling opec to be turning off those taps, to not pump so much supply into the market. but that's not enforcing discipline. >> why is there so much then. >> where you have bitter rivals, iran and saudi arabia, they'd have to 53 to production cuts

together and it's not just within opec, jonathan, you also need nonopec producers like russia also to step up and agree to production cuts. >> no one willing to do that yet? >> countries involved in the war in syria that gives you an idea of how far they have to go to come to agreement on all of this. >> we also have the shale oil producers. what does this mean for them? >> shale oil producers are getting hit really, really hard. that's because their cost of production is so much higher than saudi arabia and other producers. already in 2015, we saw a lot of shale oil producers go bust, that's because a lot of these operations they borrowed money, they issued debt if you will to finance expansion of their operation and future exploration. but they did that when oil was trading much higher, then it's trading very low. there are some forecasts that

see as many as a third of oil producer going bankrupt before the end of the year. >> patricia sabga, appreciate it. troubling economic news out of china tonight. weakest annual growth there in 25 years and this news could have a big impacts around the world when china's economy slows so does industrial production across this planet. let's go live now to hong kong and al jazeera's rob mcbride for more on this. rob, the asian markets have been open for an hour. what's the reaction about the news about the gdp? >> it is actually these figures are pretty much in line with expectation so there's been very little excitement either here in hong kong or up the road in shanghai. trading is pretty flat. these markets have already come to terms with a new normal of a cooling china economy. the rate, the gbd rate for last year is 6.9%.

pretty much in line of what the government set as 7% if it hedged its bets if you like, this is respectably close to that. people are trying to work out what this is going to mean not only for world's economy but also for what the chinese government does now. it has a very interesting balancing act to do. some say this kind of growth rate is more sustainable, but the chinese government has really big plans reorganize its economy, the winding down of profitable state industries, all of those issues have to be absorbed into the sector. it's a question of how far the chinese economy can allow it to be cooled before it has to intervene and stimulus measures to get the economy back up there jonathan. >> rob explain to us what exactly is causing that big slow down there in cloin?

>> reporter: it is a gradual winding down. things like manufacturing, also construction, we've seen huge construction boom in the last couple of decades or so. we have seen the growing of ghost towns for example, highways that aren't being used. so it has come to a kind of fulfillment if you like that you cannot carry on building these things. but we are seeing within these figures some complexity. doesn't tell the full story. yes these old sectors, sector construction manufacturing are in decline but you are seeing the service sectors come up. for example things like health, education, insurance, all the other thaings mark out a mature economy. we are seeing the growth of those sectors. that is a promising side of the chinese economy. these things are mixed for world, obviously the world has to sit up and take notice. if you are an iron ore producer

in australia, these things are not good for you. if you are an ivy league college in united states selling a diploma, education, china is still the place to be. jonathan. >> rob mcbride, appreciate it. may not be able to stay unless you learn english. why the prime minister is willing to devote millions to help them learn the language. and after the death of an algeriaargentinan prosecutor.

presidential nomination but his popularity does not extend across the pond. the british parliament is debating whether to ban mr. trump from entering the u.k. al jazeera's dana lewis explain why. >> hi jonathan, people here especially members of parliament said they should not vote on banning donald trump because he thrives on scandal, the best thing should be to ignore him but mps were forced to have this discussion because of the size of the outcry from the public. seemed united in condemning his rhetoric and one by one they thrashed him. >> i've heard of a number of cases where people have been excluded for incitement and hatred but i've never heard of

one of stupidity. i'm not sure we should begin now. >> not to be treated because he is privileged and rich. >> a man extremely high profile, involved in the show business industry for years and years, the man who is interviewing for most important job in the world. his words are not comical, his words are not funny. his words are poisonous. >> the petition to ban was signed by over 570,000 people, the largest ever to be presented to parliament. there are no go-zones where people fear muslim areas. >> i'd be delighted to have him show us where the no-go areas are for police, i'd be leap to find one. why more people in america are killed by shotguns every day than are killed in this country in a year.

>> the petition got its start in scotland. petition author suzanne kelly told us trump's treatment of the environment and bullying of his neighbors incurred her anger. >> either if i win or lose, points have been made, important discussions have been had and people are thinking of the implications of this man's world. there's a huge difference between free speech and hate speech. >> jonathan, anticipating the brich government will not most likely proceed with a ban of mr. trump, the greatest way to handle him would be the brich tradition of ridicule. there was certainly plenty of that today. back to you. >> thank you. david cameron has pledged more than $28 million for english class he.

targets women, because some controlling muslim men may be keeping their wives, sisters or daughters from joining society. >> we want to build a more integrated, cohesiv cohesive so. where they have been encouraged not to go out, not to learn the language. that needs to change in our country. >> he also says that immigrants who do not learn the language within two years may not be allowed to stay in the country. having to fend for themselves in refugee camps in europe. in northern france, children are stopped from crossing the into the u.k. even if they have relatives this. al jazeera's lawrence lee explains why. >> the unaccompanied children here you would think be most deserving of convention.

the families here should have a right to come for their protection but the u.k. government continues to insist despite that, that they should seek asylum in france or elsewhere. that has meant an activist trying the help the children have had no choice but to take a handful of cases to this anonymous building in central london who will decides what's right. >> the government has to act, it is completely unacceptable for desperate children to try oreach their relatives, facing train tracks or trucks. >> one of the cases involves the teenage brother of ahmed, ahmed himself had almost died after traveling for ten hours in a refrigerated legislatory, his younger brother followed him to calais sand now there alone. >> i feel like my hands are tied

because i can't do anything. the conditions are so dangerous and anything can happen to misbrother. this is all can i do to help him come here. >> the flow of refugees through europe is often described as the biggest since world war ii. aside from the european response that seems to be where it ends. helping with kinder transport, saving thousands of children from nazi germany. however this country feels no moral or legal obligation to take care of the children who are victims of war and no more than an hour away by train in calais. a service was held for a young afghan boy who tried to cross in a legislatory a couple of weeks ago. he suffocated. religious campaigners laid flowers in his memory. this is risk they run if they want to reach family in britain.

this case is so important and so complicated it needs to be done properly. others say it highlights the inefficiencies in aguer tien ars institutions. >> it was the death of all argentinaguertiens. are argentines. >> had he no case against president kirchner and killed himself some say. >> his daughters should be the first to benefit from this

investigation. but in second place should be the country, because we all need to know what happened to the investigator who denounced the president of the nation. >> reporter: many here hope the change of government will bring fresh impetus to the investigation. an investigation that from the beginning has divided argentina along political lines. one year on, those divisions are as strong as ever. daniel schweimler, al jazeera, buenos aires. >> robert valencia joins us from washington, d.c. robert, good to see you. >> thank you, for inviting me to your show. >> yes, of course. this is such a big mystery but there's been a new government in argentina, a new president. do you think that can really bring some real change here? >> well, that is whole expectation. i mean, there has been a complete stagnation of this, of this case for 11 months. as a matter of fact, the

covering up officials who were accused by interpol whether this had he had any connection. now not only we're dealing with one case but two cases. hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this for nisman and the 1994 attack in amia. but it is going to be a long process. >> robert are you optimistic that we'll actually ever get to the bottom of these cases considering how much is unknown and how much is vowde vowed in mystery? >> since the government is leading the investigation i'm optimistic no doubt. >> do you have an opinion whether this was a suicide or a murder? >> there has been discussion among journalists and experts and it is hard to decipher whether this was a homicide or a suicide. it all leads to speculation.

they weren't able to tell whether the gunpowder that was not on his hand, it all leads to a lot of conspiracy theories. whether his buddy was really falling on the floor, whether he was -- he actually put a gun in his head or whether there was some assailant in his apartment. another fact is that his building is not an old building. this is one of the state-of-the-art buildings in buenos aires, no one could have forced the door knob that easily. there is a lot of speculation. i tend to believe that this was some government -- you know something related to the government, someone on the government level participated in -- whether to instigate any kind of suicide thoughts on

nisman or whether there was actually a hit man at work. but there's definitely a lot of coincidence, it all leads like it could be a lot of suspicion regarding the participation of the argentina government. >> a lot of question marks and a lot of unflowns here. hopefully you'll get some answers from the new government in argentina. thank you for joining us tonight. 14 million people are facing hunger in southern africa. the hardest hit is malawi. 16% of that country's population is expected to go hungry and a situation only expected to get worse. the planting season will soon end and no relief in the forecast. the new oxfam report says that by the end of this year the country's wealthiest 1% will own more than 99% combined. 62 individuals held as much
