climb down on a part we force a window grill open at the time we couldn't think much of a fire department representative says their bodies were found on top of one another suggesting there was a stampede to try and get out the fire chief says a school should have had to fire escapes but it appears a building codes were not properly followed the initial investigation done by all. issued by local government and also by departments across investigation got some. men when they showed that. a community religious leader led prayers for the students he described the boys as cheerful when they held religious events in the community a happy group many of whom have now lost their lives under tragic circumstances.

of threats posed by iran in terms of its adherence to the full spirit of that deal and that as long as for instance it continued to support bashar assad in syria will that make give rise to questions about its head here and to the spirit of the deal this is what boris johnson the u.k. foreign secretary had to say about that the iranians have got to behave and fulfill their side of the bargain and they've got to stop being a venturous and expansionist and causing trouble in the region whether it's in yemen or syria or anywhere else and on north korea the talk was about boosting pressure on pyongyang following on from those u.n. security council sanctions the eight set of sanctions imposed on the country the strongest sanctions ever imposed on any country according to boris johnson how to implement them importantly how to bring china in to encourage china to do more there was none of the fire and fury rhetoric that we've heard from the trumpet

ministration in the past this was a call towards engagement towards dialogue. along with representatives from france we had a very substantial meeting to discuss our increased that diplomatic and economic pressure on the r.k. and also how we can work together to relate messages to the regime in north korea that we need to stand down your program and gauge and. to find a way to a peaceful resolution or i still had. survived as constants over whether their concerns will be listened to as the party begins into london's devastating towers. zimbabwe starts registering voters using biometric technology but some fear it will increase the chances of a break in. the elements get the better of the final women's golf major of the season details of what.

it was president trump has just left florida and in his third visit to the heart of condemn his state in less than three weeks before leaving the president first lady and vice president handed out sandwiches and banal those to people living in a mobile home community they've been affected by the harken more than one hundred nursing home residents have now been relocated thousands more being monitored on as the deaths of eight people at a rehabilitation center on wednesday to its power. well the caribbean island is appealing for help to rebuild after the devastation caused by hurricane some of the other affected islands territories which receive financial assistance from wealthier mother countries like the u.k. but bob you there is a tiny independent island on this says it needs outside help as john heilemann reports. prime minister gaston brown has brought other caribbean leaders to see

what's left of the island. it was hit with the maximum force of hurricane brown says help is urgently needed by me that today is what i considered to be a mangled wreck in order to restore it in order to rebuild and to ensure that we can relocate babbit and it will take any normative out of resources. electricity phone lines of people's homes at damaged or gone the situation so precarious the entire populations been evacuated turn which emerged unscathed brown who is prime minister of both islands says it will take more than two hundred million dollars to bring back to life. the government's trying to take the positives out of the fact that more than ninety percent of buildings here damaged they want to implement an ambitious rebuilding program with high construction standards to guard against future hurricanes and one hundred percent green energy for the island the problem

with that is cash they say they don't have anywhere near enough while other island nations devastated by the hurricane like martin and the virgin islands belong to receive help from developed countries doesn't have that support those islands are dependent territories they have them other countries to assist they have britain they have the netherlands france and a case of ns again by a small independent country with very limited resources. civil engineers have started work anyway assessing the damage house by house they're optimistic about the possibilities how long do you think three building of the. depends on if i look depends and if i believe within twelve months. most of it could be but. not just homes but also jobs have been lost fisherman's boats lying ruins.

really earned a living from his taxi that's gone now well right now i'm feeling it very very bad because what happened since that time the hurricane has this is the we. don't bust right now and there's not much i can do right now until. i don't know how soon we going to get back to bob you would. that's the question all of the living in government shelters with relatives you know are asking the prime minister says hopefully in a few months but even then the rebuilding could take years john home and how does it. there's been confusion i've reports the president donald trump has struck a deal to protect undocumented young immigrants known as dreamers democrats announced an agreement had been reached which would have protected nearly eight hundred thousand young immigrants on the program the president wanted to scrap a white house correspondent how could has more now from washington. confusion at

the white house again what started out as president trump's attempt to make a bipartisan deal with congressional democrats has devolved into finger pointing about who said what to whom hoping to bridge the ideological gap with a compromise they arrived at the white house of wednesday evening democratic house leaders now see pelosi and senate leader chuck schumer a short time later they heralded a landmark deal they've made with the republican president to create a law allowing more than eight hundred thousand children of illegal immigrants to stay in the united states or did they the next morning on twitter donald trump said from his point of view there was no deal on the program known as dhaka. then a few hours later before leaving washington to inspect hurricane damage in florida donald trump changed his mind he claimed he agreed to dhaka but only if there is

funding for border security and a wall with mexico in the future you have eight hundred thousand young people brought here don't fall for the wrong the wall will come later landing in florida after a short flight from washington then put that deal in further doubt he insisted an agreement with democrats must include funding to build a border wall a key campaign pledge ok mentally we have to have a wall if we don't have a war we're doing nothing hard right conservatives are furious accusing tromp of granting amnesty establishment republicans seem equally irritated reminding the president any deal he makes on legislation must involve. republicans currently holding a majority in the u.s. congress i think the president stands and he's going to work with the congressional majority to get any kind of legislation the president shifting positions and erratic approach to policy has only complicated matters it is heart of hearts trump may not know exactly what he is and he's sort of ideologically flexible and i think

he just sort of goes for the saying that he thinks can basically get him the best headlines and the most credit that's why any deal on doctor remains in doubt but this time it may not be the president's democratic political adversaries holding up any agreement but instead members of the president's own republican party can really help get al-jazeera washington or let's stay with the story because we're joined now from washington by diana play a go she's a policy associate at the national immigration law center thanks for being with us on the program i mean it's really confusing right now isn't it as to whether some sort of deal has been done between president trump and the democrats what do you make of the situation as it stands you know i mean i think we know just about as much as you do i think what we do know is that democratic leadership did meet with trump and there was some agreement that was made essentially what we know is that

there was a deal made to make a deal there are no details and we all know that the devil's in the details and so we're waiting for that to be worked out as well we heard that there will be some sort of border enforcement funds in that deal that's something that we're not supporting we're supporting a clean dream act but that's really all we know and that we're going to continue to push for a clean dream act for these young immigrants how optimistic are you that the so-called dreamers and you all one of them will be protected in the way that you want to be protected. i'm hopeful that right now there are so many supporters of my community there so many people who have come out of war that didn't support us before and so with all this new momentum and people realizing who we are and realizing our stories and that there's not just one or one of us and there's so many of us were affected by this policy i am hopeful the members of congress will listen to us and listen to the american people who

have stepped up and said that they stand with us and that they will actually take action now the past pass a clean dream act that will provide protections for me and the hundreds of thousands of others that are in my same situation you're saying you've got support how much support do you think you have across the united states i'm sorry are you saying that you are supported in the united states for the so-called clean acts but how much support do you think you do have because you do know that there are people out there who say that you shouldn't be in the country and they want you to go how does that make you feel. well you know i think what i do know is that when dhaka was so in place that over seventy five percent of both republicans and democrats supported that program and supported the decision to allow us to allow us to stay in for that program to continue so i think there i have seen support from people from all walks of life all parties coming together to

support people like myself who are in this situation and that's what i know and so that's the kind of support that i've seen you come across in the past two weeks as well if a deal is actually agreed what is that going to mean do you think the donald trump's relationship with the ultra conservatives in his republican party many of them of come out today and condemned him when it looked like he was saying that some sort of deal had been done to continue daca. i mean i think it's going to upset some of his base but we do have to realize he's by rescinding back by ship in these protections from these young immigrants is really appealing to this white supremacist base that no president should be trying to appeal to so he may be upsetting them but this isn't the base that he should be trying to appeal to as the president of the united states of america really great to talk to you that's diana player joining us there from washington d.c. thanks so much thank you so much. every spring rain fall is threatening argentina's largest export farm is

the farmers have very little time on a clear day like today to start recovering to start rebuilding rain is forecast again for tomorrow so before they've got themselves together they're having to deal with more rainfall what's happening here is the cattle are dying they're not getting access to their food which lies below this water they're also suffering from a shortage of sunlight a shortage of magnesium and we've seen through a cow carcasses lying on the land around here some some farmers of lost up to one apologies that we do seem to have lost our lynette to daniel why now he's reporting on the heavy spring rainfall that is threatening the crops of corn and soy in argentina and again apologies for losing his line there. nineteen people have drowned when a boat capsized in northern india such as continuing for more people still believed to be missing the boat was filled with construction workers when it capsized in the

a london tower block that killed at least eighty people. many of the residents of grenfell town were from poor backgrounds leading to accusations that government negligence was responsible for the disaster our u.k. correspondent bobby phillips reports we want to know the truth they argue it's a cover up before it's even begun but some martin mull big says he is determined to find out the truth his inquiry began with a minute's silence an acknowledgement of how much suffering the grenfell tower fire has caused. cannot undo and. provide answers to the pressing questions of. this kind could occur twenty first century london. and provide a small measure of. going to some martin more basic will investigate the specifics how the fire started how it spread how the emergency services responded

but also the background did the refurbishment of the tower make it more dangerous where safety regulations observed how did the local and national governments react after the fire no one in this part of london can forget what happened how could they with this reminder looming about them so martin mobic will face a great deal of suspicion from the community here many people feel he's too much part of the british establishment and they wanted an inquiry with a broader remit that would have looked at questions of social housing even wealth inequality in london at a neighboring church a special screening of the opening of the inquiry it's going to be long it's not going to be a short short. process but yes i'm glad that we start and i do feel fairly positive i don't think we can have our forces heard see the justice we want

smarted more because disappointed residents by not including advisors who represent the local community he says he has to be impartial but he offered words of reassurance we share a common goal we are all searching after the truth about the cause of the fire and the massive loss of life caused and we owe it to those who died and to those whose homes have been destroyed to work together to achieve that goal the inquiry has no power to punish or compensate there are likely to be separate criminal trials to do that establishing the truth won't console everyone it might just prevent similar disasters in the future bobby phillips al jazeera in west london. castle and pro independence leaders have launched their campaign for a yes vote in a referendum planned for october first they say if they win the vote they will

government is delaying the implementation of a controversial new mining charter the legislation would force all mines to hand over more of their business to black south africans but new rules are on hold after they were challenged by the country's powerful mining industry body tanya page reports. gold was the backbone of south africa's economy for decades since the end of apartheid blacks had gained a foothold in the industry through government policies meant to share the country's mineral wealth but a revised mining charter that will force mining companies to insure thirty percent of their businesses owned by black south africans has prompted a scathing criticism from some is still largely call it's unethical it's immoral it's unconstitutional you don't have to read two paragraphs on the first page to say this is insane it's not workable it's not going to benefit anybody the revised

charter increases the proportion of black ownership from twenty six to thirty percent it also makes that requirement continuous so if a black owner sold their sheers the mining company would have to give more of their business away to ensure its still mitt the thirty percent black ownership role the chamber of mines which represents most of the industry has just won a promise from the government that it won't implement the changes until the high court makes a ruling on its legality the industry is warning the charter is already putting investors off and cause. jobs like that of timber into lee he's still putting his skills to use after being laid off but he says he can't get another job is very very bad because. i've been down i mean a lot of mine because of looking back. but unfortunately i didn't get that you know the charter is part of the government's plan to implement what it calls radical economic transformation timber may have paid the price for the uncertainty and cost

cutting in the industry but in the long term the government says its new mining charter will benefit more black south africans because they'll have a bigger stake in the industry that's disputed by critics who argue only a few wealthy black south africans will benefit the mining industry says increasing inequality is not its fault and so it seems to be winning the argument in court tanya page al-jazeera rustenburg a south africa one one hundred girls who were kidnapped by boko haram fighters in nigeria and twenty fourteen are due to be reunited with their families debacle have been in state care since they were released in the way they were five returned home to travel on friday and are now celebrating their freedom forty eight of the schoolgirls are still being held by a car on. now after spending twenty years exploring sasson and its moons the cassini space mission is coming to an end nasa is preparing to destroy the

spacecraft by sending it plunging into saturn's atmosphere but a smith takes a look at what it's achieved over here. to. see the spacecraft what it took to see me seven years flying through space to reach saturn as it settled into war with around the ringed planet cassini launched the horgan's lander onto the surface of titan suddens biggest. over thirteen years the mission has sent back spectacular images from the other side of the solar system it will feel in some sense like a death in the family you know something you've devoted your life to for twenty seven years and then it will be gone. but we certainly i will feel triumphant because it has been a magnificent and profoundly successful exploration and i'm so proud to have been a part of it covered in snow and ice this is another such moon and solid us it has

powerful ice blasting gazes under here scientists believe there's water and so a chance to look for traces of life and on titan cassini revealed a climate similar to primordial earth it's why cassini can land on saturn it may still carry microbes some earth could affect an alien ecosystem because of the importance of in solid us that cassini has shown us and of titan another potential world that could be habitable for life for ups not like we know it but perhaps completely different than ours. we had to make decisions on how to dispose of the spacecraft. and that led us inevitably to the plan of taking cassini and plunging it into saturn. so

after the last of twenty two farewell dives between saturn's rings and surface because seaney will fly into the planet's burning atmosphere. bernard smith al-jazeera let's now speak to fred young son astrophysicist and planetary scientists at the european space agency he's joining us from little in the netherlands thanks for being with us on the program why does cassini's mission have to end in this sort of blaze of glory. well first of all the mission is to contact them on fuel so at some stage it's done but as it was just a little little before we have something called planetary protection which means that spacecraft which haven't been cleaned the hundred percent of microbes and earth material should not crash into worlds where you later all go to try and search for life so this spacecraft is not one hundred percent clean and if they

leave it circling around this is really insistent the chances of it crashing into our car or on some of those are not small and they have decided we're going to plunge into sharp turn and then it's risky school what it is going to be like the members of the cassini team have works well if a so-long to see this mission finally come to an end well i've seen it myself on the road at a spacecraft a year or two ago where i worked on for quite some time and it's i think jim green. boss of this program said last night i'm not good at for well so he sees it as a new starts or analyzing science that's cassini hearkens s. which are security issues so this is more or start of something new and then.

what do you think that the things biggest achievements have been over the past well more than a decade. well when we when they went to shirley insisting your original are these or were. these were frozen who deep throat and versions possibly of the foreign are billion year old earth because it's very far away from the sun it's very cold but when they got there the landing of hearkens on tightening already showed you know that there is more to this than we thought than there was european . magnetic experiments showed there isn't a model and so there's a later on the other experiments show and some of this actually has fruit with what part not too far below shortens this is not that moon these things are fairly active there are geysers berries they have shown the connection even ring up

the system they find say lines to harder stuff so i think if you ask the average predator we find peace which bullion the solar system would you like to go to next everybody would say some of the stories sounds like a pretty great if you separate johnson joining us there from the netherlands thanks so much. well i still ahead all this out as they were news up putting the fear into fashion east is why new york city's plans to move its government district is worrying the designers. and there's a new world champion in cardboard it action final round the world tour coming up in sponge. business update brought to you by chance are they always going places together.
