the e.u. and justice ministers met in brussells to discuss their response to the crisis. meanwhile a french court has ordered the government to clear the makeshift camp known as the junkle and partially demolish it. the ruling by the french court upholds the government plan to evict hundreds of migrants. the deadline for the camp's 1,000 or so residents to leave has already expired, and authorities say if necessary, they will use force to relocate remaining refugees to nearby centers. >> . >> well, we can go live now to calley, and spoke to al jazeera nadine barber. nadine, do we have any kind of idea of a timeframe so when these people will actually be moved on from the jungle? >> well, it is all very vague.

what has happens is the authorities here have been given a greene lite, by the court, to go ahead with what they are up cysting is a humanitarian operation. and they are saying that they are going to progressively clear what you can see part of behind me. it is the southern part of the jungle charities working here say there are 3 1/2 thousand people living in this part of the jungle. the authorities are saying that they won't use force to move anybody out at least not for three weeks. they say they are going to leave in place, all of what they call the social spaces that's things like a church, a mosque, a cinema. and facility which is people here tell us that they really appreciate. their solution, is for people to move just a short distance away to a new accommodation center made up of heated shipping containers.

they are fairly luck sure rouse compares to the tents. be they are also full up, they can accept places in accommodation centers in other cities around france, where they will be encouraged to apply for asylum. some people in the last hour, that i have been speaking to say that won't make any differential pause their goal is to reach britain. is they are not interesting in trying to make a new life here. so they are worried about where they will be sleeping in a few weeks time. >> nadine barber with the latest for us live, thank you. good to see you. where you are right now has been for a while now a bottleneck of refugees and migrants and now we are hearing from the top official

that the whole system can implode within ten days. give us an idea of what your perspective is and what you think the migration official actually means by that? >> when you are here on the ground, you have an impression that the system has already imploded. just behind me, i don't know if you can see them because it is dark, but there are families, children, elderly living in tents in the cold. the boarder is closed so they don't know when -- what will happen to them next. many want to be here because they are hoping if the border opens and they are the first ones to cross, eeven though there's a whole new set of restrictions even for the two that are allowed to go through. those are the syrians and iraqis. we have been watching peek coming here, regardless of whether the boarder is open or not, we are also seeing afghans and other migrant

whose are bussed away but all these people are still on the greek territory, and the authorities have just announced that they are looking for five locations hoar in northern greece to relocate some 12,000 who are in the territory at the moment. and who want to continue their journey. this is not counting those that made it to greece today. they give an idea about how this crisis keeps on increasing by the day. yesterday there was reporting of about five to 6,000, 8,000 people on the territory. >> and the coming days. and the population is talking about ten days and ten days of borders closed and that little trickle of people just going through. because imagine the amount of people that could be stuck here in greece. >> and they are looking to the commissioner was talking about, is for him the solution is or one of the solutions is to stop the flow

of the refugees coming. any real sign of that, they say when they set off, they already knew that europe was tightening it's borders. has that been a deterrent for them at all? >> it hasn't been, because you have to remember that therd boors opened they were already arriving here in large numbers simply because they are smugglers and the roots are very well studied. and the chat rooms. the aid workers hoar on the ground, say that ever since the borders have been tightened those smugglers and workers continue to flurry so yes you can fortify the border, you can make it more difficult for people to try

to get across, but there's always a way of doing it. it is much more dangerous, for the refugees and for the migrants. you hear also about people disappearing. lately they have said that 10,000 children have already disappeared about the whereabouts and difficult and the problem is that the information. >> i think a few days ago, that all of a sudden the surprise at the borders were closed to them, they thought it was a temporary measure just it was for the syrians and the iraqis, well, then they discovered that it was a permanent measure. when the border opened the syrians and the iraqis discovered now they need a whole new set of paperwork. they need a whole new process to go through. people didn't know what was going on. registration is very very slow now on macedonian side, but from what i have seen,

they keep on arriving here, and i don't think they will be deterred so easily and quickly. >> on the greece macedonia border, thank you. well the international organization of migration says the number of nigerian women trafficked to italy increased more than tenfold from 2013 to 2015. there was also significant ride of underwage girls coming to work as prostitutes and evidence of abuse. barnabie phillips reports no uh from rome. country roads in central italy. on a cold february night, the girls light fires to keep warm, and attract passing clients for sex. this trade of nigerian women to italy has gone on for years. but it is now changing. experts speak of a substantial increase in girls aged under 18. you might call it a cliche secret, except these girls

his promise to end the nuclear crisis. votes will be cast two in two elections. after the parliament 12,000 applies as candidates before fewer than 5,000 were cleared to compete for the 290 seats. at the moment, parliament is dominated by 70s. but the deal to boost the popularity of former reformers. meanwhile in the election, 88 members will be chosen, they monitor the work of the most powerful person, the supreme leader and choose his successor. the guardian council cleared just 151 of them, the disqualified include all female applicants and the granderson of the islamic republic of iran. with kwamaining now over, iran is preparing for elections that could take the country down a more moderate

path. retomorrowists believe they can make gains in the parliament. the central issue has been the recession, and how a long ever recovery can take if seances now lifted. this family gathering there's a discussion about voting. 41-year-old is a student who will be voting for the first time. his parents are worrying he will end up like his sister unable to find a job. vote. >> which unlike facebook and twitter isn't blocked. she decided after discussions in the family chat group, and hunting through websites that she will vote retomorrowist. >> her husband feels the same. >> . >> the only way that iran can get out of it's recession, is for investment, so that jobs are created. the more serious problem is

it could be too soon for some to be convinced, reformists and moderates may gain more influence, but it is probably farfetched to expect a landslide win in the parliamentary elections. >> go live now to teheran, and speak to al jazeera, jona as we were hearing there it is unlikely there will be a real landslide or a massive surprise as such. but have you seen evidence of excitement and ennauseam ahead of the vote? >> . >> the outward signs that there is an election about to take place, is fairly mooted. you simply don't see major political rallies. >> you don't even see major parties. there are instead voting blocks. the so called hardliners and on the left and center the

moderates and the reformists. in hoping of making a bigger dent in control of the institutions. mooted it may be, though the importance of this election isn't lost on many. and that's because at the battle between the hardliners and the moderate will largely determine the future depression of this country will take. ing. >> because the moderate prison has two more years left in office. he needs a more open minded parliament, to continue to pass his moderate to reformist agenda. the nuclear deal struck last year, needs continued moderate banking in the face of hard line opposition if it is to survive. and the economy, perhaps the most important issue here, there as it begins to open up after decades of stifling international sanctions needs retomorrows, restructuring to

create jobs. and add to all of that, happening concurrently, an election of a new assembly of experts. the body passed with appointing the new supreme leader with the current ayatollah specifically passes away. well, you begin to see that anybody wants change in this country, needs to hope that there is a strong showing on the moderate and retomorrowist side. >> and so, do we have any idea what kind of showing that will be, and when will we know for sure? >> in the assembly of -- well, both the parliament and the assembly of experts awaited towards the hard line. in the assembly of experts is not expected to be any dramatickic change in that balance. but, in the parliament if they get the vote out, and that is the crucial issue, the best estimate, some anyway, put the possible tally to them at 60% of the seats and that would be his

toricly. because thousands of their candidates have been disqualified from taking place in this election at all. turn out will be crucial. they will also be young, if they believe that change is possible, they will come out as they did in 2013, and they could sway the election. when will we know? in 48 hours after voting there will be a preliminary result, the parliamentary result, though, may need to go into a run off in april. thank you. egypt now with the president cassise has offered an unusual solution to the economic brocks. in a speech on wednesday, he said that if it would help he would sell himself. >> let me say something quite difficult. by god all mighty, if i could sell myself to benefit this nation, i would have done it. we are a nation of

90 million, just think about it, if only 10 million of us wake up every day and they donate one egyptian pound, just one for the sake of this homeland, that's 10 million a day. >> egypt is a great cub, it can do anything. if you truly love egypt, all egyptians who are listening to me, listen to my words only. only mine, i say. >> one ebay user promptly put that statement to the test. and more than 100 people actually placed a bid on the egyptian president. at 1 point he was selling for $100,000. the ad description read we decided to sell the infamous field marshal and military coup leader on ebay. to bail out the egyptian economy so that you don't have to. ebay ad was taken down later on wednesday. still to come this hour, the bombing of civilians in yemen, across the e.u.

urged the e.u. to impose an armed embargo. britain in particular has coming in for severe criticism over the continued fight with saudi arabia. well, the u.k., france, spain, and germany are among the biggest suppliers of weapons for saudi arabia, since the war started britain has approved export licenses for almost $4 billion worth of arms to saudi arabia. and last year, france assigned billions of dollars worth of deals including one worth $500 million for 23 helicopters. in this despite accusations that saudi forces have committed war crimes in yemen, where nearly 6,000 people have died since last march. well, let's talk about this in more detail, who is the deputy director of the middle east and north african program, thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. i am guessing that you are

happy with what the european parliament is voted for? >> well, today's vote is a clear wake up call for the european union states that continue to arm saudi arabia, and the coalition partners. in a conflict in yemen that is seen devastation in civilian life. 3,000 civilians dead. 700 of them children. and most of those caused by coalition air strikes. >> let's just clarify 1 point. obviously arm sales are illegal, so your specific point as was brought up, is the war in yemen? >> we believe that there should be an embargo on all arm sales. so whether it is saudi arabia, the coalition partners or any other actor that may sell arms or transfer them in some way, this is a really serious situation. 83% of the population in yemen are now in need of some form of humanitarian aid.

over 2.5 million internally displaced persons so this is a situation where adding more weapons is extremely dangerous. >> and it is to be said that the u.n. had a panel to investigate the bombing campaign, and they found they don't cover widespread attacks on civilian targets by saudi arabia, having said that, the european parliament decision isn't anyway binding on e.u. states and we have already heard that, the prime minister is looking at and report. which is the most encouraging of reactions, do you hold any hope that the u.k. will stop arm sales? >> welshes it is going to be very uncomfortable for the mistakes that are providing large amounts of military equipment. and in some cases in the u.k., providing -- logistical, and intelligent support to the operation. they have been very clear about that, and i think what we can say, is that britain -- while the arm sales have been rising for saudi arabia, it has always been for many years the

number one customer. we are seeing increased pressure. there was a legal opinion, but commissions, n.g.o.s, but independently found absolutely experts that the -- the continued sale of arms to saudi arabia, was in breech of the u.k.'s legal obligations under the armed trade. britain, of course, is one of the key states that actually helped to bring the arms trade into being. there's even a legal charge now, which is being put through the courts in the u.k. 20 the british government, over the legality of those sales. >> well, it is certainly going to be a very spring kate issue, from amnesty, thank you for joining us. and sharing your views with us. the u.k.'s national public broadcaster of the b.b.c. has been severe my criticized by an investigation into sex abuse. one of those abusers was the former presenter. he raped and an assaulted

dozens of people he met. and as paul brennen reports the broadcaster missed several chances to stop the abuse. for more than 30 years jimmy was one of the most famous faces on p.b.c. television, and the national broadcaster turned a blind eye to the dark truth about his nature. he fronted numerous popular and long running programs. but his star status gave him unchallenged access to sexually abused scores of underage victims. >> they have been through the mill, and given evidence which was extremely harrowing, and they do want to move on now. they don't want to see his face all over the television any more. they want to move on. and today, with us the final chapter, and that's why it was so important, that they got to the real truth. >> the inquiry examined the culture of the b.b.c., during the years he was there. her findings are scathing. >> celebrities were treated
