sector state rex tillerson himself who only found out via twitter trump insists policy differences are to blame but as robin jordan explains reports of friction and form is out of play the pair. it's not every day you lose your job via social media but it was an emotional rex tillerson who deliberately ignored that detail when he addressed reporters on tuesday all received a call today from the frozen united states a little after noon time from air force one my commission as secretary of state will terminate at midnight march thirty first tillerson served as u.s. secretary of state for a little more than a year he spent much of that time pushing back against reports that president donald trump wanted to fire him on tuesday morning on twitter trump did just that mike pump ale will become our new secretary of state thank you to rex tillerson for his service. then told reporters this we disagreed on things when you look at

iran i think it's terrible i guess it was ok i wanted he's a regular nothing he felt a little bit different so we were not really thinking the same looking back it's clear trump and tillerson disagreed on the big problems of the day whether or not to engage directly with north korea how far to hold russia accountable for its meddling in u.s. political and civic affairs something tillerson made a point of stressing the u.s. must do ultimately former u.s. diplomats a teller since firing is no surprise and neither is the choice of his replacement the cia director mike pompei oh he is well known for his support of trump's policies trump is impulsive trump is temperamental trump wants. once a neighbor isn't validators more than he wants advisors tillerson didn't have many

fans at state because of his plans to cut staffing by nearly thirty percent some senior diplomats quit in protest but the firings at state didn't end there at lunchtime the white house dismissed assistant secretary of state steve goldstein after he released this statement suggesting tillerson thought his job was safe the secretary did not speak to the president this morning and is unaware of the reason for his dismissal in any case tillerson said he has no regrets. as an address to the state department telling them he's leaving office at the end of the month and jordan joins us from that now so ross what else did he have to say well tillerson ticked off a list of what he considered some of his accomplishments during his fourteen months as secretary of state he also took the time to praise not just employees of the state department but also employees of the defense department because he said that

never before at least as he understood it had there been such a close cooperative working relationship between staffers of the two agencies he was very pointed in not saying anything directly a belt you know the president it's usually the custom that an outgoing cabinet official would say something nice about the president but everyone picked up on the fact he didn't do that today and what about how soon will know whether there's a new sex change charge or what how does a process work. well the president said immediately that he wants mike pompei o to succeed rex tillerson as the secretary of state but bob corker the republican senator who has a long with president trump and who runs the senate foreign relations committee says that confirmation hearings for mike pompei zero won't happen before some point in april so probably not for at least three to four weeks we're already in the

middle of march and then it's up to the senate leadership to decide when there would be a vote depending on how much pressure there is from the white house there could be a quick vote on the senate floor but there are already some senators saying that they have an issue with palm pale being nominated and that they expect that they will be asking very tough questions at least one senator has already said he will vote against mike pompei o and this is before he's even had a chance to make his rounds with the senators who sit on that important committee jordan thank you very much indeed wants me to listen regularly cash to including a middle east policy briefly backing opposite sides in a saudi led blockade of cata osama bin drive aid looks at the turbulent relationship between a president and his top diplomat rixton listens form a boss says the deal with iran and other disagreements was why the u.s.

secretary of state was find it from me to so far unfulfilled promise to roll back the nuclear deal with iran which is allowed in easing the sanctions. the brewing cold war in the persian gulf between arab nations would have been a test for any career diplomat tillerson led state department found itself scaling back comments in the times contradicting their own president when members of the gulf cooperation council decided to isolate qatar we saw in the beginning of the cut of a siege by the four countries last june that the initial statements that trump made were later dropped the required to be reversed because he didn't know all the facts about u.s. relations in qatar and the region it's clear that the united states seems to want to resolve the g.c.c. crisis i think there's no doubt about that it's also clear that they haven't been able to use their influence to get that done with the kuwaitis so this is very strange in many ways in recent weeks more details have emerged on how

a concerted effort was being made from the middle east to get rid of rex tillerson this man businessman george nader has been questioned about his ties to the emirate the government and his meetings with white house officials nader is reported to have links with another u.s. businessman but you a you ties and you get prodi according to a leaked e-mails obtained by the b.b.c. rudy reportedly lobbied against secretary of state rex tillerson because he opposed the blockade against cutter really wanted trump to hold secret talks with the u.s. crown prince and throw his support behind the blockade in countries. tillerson also disagreed with the current administration's backing of the saudi government a major weapons importer he criticized saudi arabia for its meddling in lebanon and disagreed with the saudi position over the ongoing war in yemen tillers and urged saudi arabia in his words to be a bit more measured and a bit more thoughtful in its actions the top u.s. diplomat cartridge his trip to african nations and the broccoli return to washington this led to speculation in the u.s. media that president trump probably asked to listen to step aside while he was

abroad it's been a short tenure with accusations that tillotson didn't have the staff or money to back him up as a top u.s. diplomat some of the job there. joining us from washington d.c. is thomas countryman he's a former acting undersecretary of arms control and international security at the department of state and he was also removed from office by donald trump just over a year ago thank you very much indeed for taking the time to join us so we've heard about how the disagreements been going on for a while niall what do you make of the timing of this. it's very difficult either to predict or to analyze the timing of the decisions made by the white house under this administration so i'm not sure what drove the decision i do know that there are a number of reasons to be concerned about the decision coming at this moment and how it will affect important foreign policy priorities for the united states in

north korea in iran in russia and those are the topics where i fear that a new secretary of state who is more hawkish on these issues and less likely to disagree with the president or do seek to explain to the president the costs of some actions i'm concerned that this will be a more dangerous u.s. foreign policy in the coming months dangerous and in what way i mean one thing that trump has talked about in the past is this idea of breaking the iran deal if necessary where do you think pompei would take that decision and how quickly might go down that road. mr pompei zero is both a congressman and as the director of the cia has echoed president trump's criticisms of the j c p a way the iran nuclear agreement and that's of great concern. i

think that if the united states follows through on the president's threats and tears up this agreement or walks away from it that it will have several affects number one it will damage united states credibility for years to come and it will have been a media effect upon the prospects of reaching any kind of agreement with the north koreans as they've proposed to do it in may i don't think either mr trump or mr pompei o have ever explained how they can criticize the north koreans for cheating or walking away from previous deals and at the same time say the united states is ready to walk away from a valid deal it's simply inconsistent and i haven't seen any credible explanation i mean kerry there are always huge issues on any president's plate and

also on a secular state plate and what about things like the g.c.c. crisis or other areas of the middle east what kind of change do you expect under a different dynamic with someone like compare that trump side. well i'm not aware of any statements that mr pompei always made either as a congressman or during his time as director of the cia about the dispute within the gulf cooperation council but i go back to my earlier point if as the president says mr pompei o and mr trump have the same thought process have the same wavelength in that case i do worry that we'll have a secretary of state who is not capable of telling hard truths to the president and is simply going to be a yes man and going along with the president's instincts whether they are rational instincts or not i hope i'm wrong about that there is certainly

a chance that mr pompei o could surprise us as secretary of state but in the meantime i'm going to worry about whether he will actually do the job the secretary of state has to do and that is to give the best possible advice to the president on foreign policy ok thomas countryman thank you very much indeed if you are not as thank you thank you. or might compare his replacement gina has both is set to become the first ever female leader of the cia but she could face a tough confirmation hearing in the senate given proselytisation is she oversaw the torture of detainees that's eco hane reports from washington. gina has spent most of her career at the cia undercover so there isn't much video of her but as she prepares to try and take the top job we're going to see a lot more of her and hear much more about her past she was in charge of the

facility in thailand codenamed detention site green the senate has detailed what happened to captors there like abu zubaida he was water boarded eighty three times beaten by having his head slammed into a wall deprived of sleep for days he was kept in a coffin sized box possibly with insects for more than eleven days and held in a small box less than a meter tall for twenty nine hours the report also says that he was held and tortured at the same site according to reports she was clearly in charge according to one cia cable quote only the detention site green chief of base would be allowed to interrupt or stop an interrogation in process and that the chief of base would be the final decision making authority as to whether the cia's interrogation techniques applied to zubeida would be discontinued. zubaida had to be revived once after waterboarding torture didn't stop human rights groups are outraged by her

nomination the idea that she would be put in charge of the cia should send. terrorists through most people who care about international law this is a woman who was complicit directly in the torture of two detainees in thailand and then the chief of staff of the counterterrorism center back lushington as they rendered dozens and dozens of other detainees some of merely innocent people who were swept up shall have to answer for more than that there were videos of some of that torture has reportedly signed the directive to have them destroyed all of this will be a big debate when she comes before this to try and get confirmed democrats will be under pressure not to vote for her and if. that's the case you can only afford to lose one republican vote and still get the job still president donald trump is sending a message with this nomination just like you said on the campaign trail he's fine with torture and also apparently fine with promoting those involved with it patty

a new water treatment plant. instead just a few hundred meters into gaza territory. visit became a demonstration of the level of insecurity here a powerful bomb buried by the road blasted the end of his convoy vehicles were damaged seven people were lightly injured. and his delegation pressed on to the water project where he said the attack would only make him more determined to return. they blew up three of our cars while entering the gaza strip this proves to you one hundred percent that it will not prevent us from continuing our path towards putting an end to this day to division will continue to come to girls. but that division between the palestinian authority dominated by fatah and its political rival hamas in gaza was once again on full display a palestinian president's office accused hamas of responsibility for the attack given its continued control of security in the strip hamas condemned both the

explosion and the p.a.'s. accusation started with. these mostly written accusations can only achieve the goals of the criminals that targeted the convoy of valmy hundred dollars in the main suspect who wants to destroy the palestinian clans if the occupation. started some analysts suggest some of his groups aiming to cause political chaos were behind the attack on the crater itself shows you just what a sizable device this was the immediate impact obviously substantial the question now is how far the shock waves of what happened here will carry over into the political process between fatah and hamas. reconciliation efforts have been stalled for months since hamas dissolved its administration last year so far there's been no full resumption of p.a. control in gaza with talks foundering on issues such as jobs for tens of thousands of hamas members and control of its military wings weapons we are living.

in between there is a possibility of hamas or that defacto government and that a new government that's in the not they walk enough to. have it said is possible. the palestinian prime minister arrived back in ramallah in the occupied west bank his spokesman accusing hamas leaders of declining an invitation to meet for gaza's people desperate for some kind of government to address a worsening humanitarian and now security situation of the weight goes on. gaza. small groups of people are being allowed out to rebel held eastern in syria around one hundred fifty people or so far left the enclave which has been under intense government bombardment three weeks and official reports. have come from eastern guta slowly perhaps hesitantly most definitely the glad to be out and worried about those they've left behind. we were about two hundred people living in

a cellar without light or electricity and very little food it was impossible to leave because of the events many people decided to leave and head to duma and only forty of us stayed behind in that cellar and decided not to leave until the syrian army entered the city. my children would tell me dad we don't want to die whenever they tell me this i'd cry tears of blood and prayed to god to make me die before them. others have been bused out of the area after the group reached an agreement with the united nations the russians and others around a thousand people need to leave for medical treaty. the first batch of around one hundred have no left. to date has been agreed to take those who want to go to damascus or even approach to be treated and returned back once again to good the first batch consisting of around forty families have left to damascus for treatment the u.n. and the red crescent where their new batches of sick people will follow for treatment

outside. the agreement to get injured people lie to has been around for a little while the fact that the process is actually started will give encouragement to the united nations who obviously like to see the numbers increase in the coming days the fighting continues around the un cle which is no been split in three by syrian government forces backed by the russians. it may not be as fierce as recent days but that's little consolation to those still trapped in sight . alan fischer al jazeera on the turkey syria border russia has ramped up the rhetoric against the u.k. warning britain not to threaten a nuclear power promise to theresa may has given russia a deadline of the end of tuesday to prove it was not involved in the nerve agent attack against former double agent and his daughter moscow is so far refusing to cooperate with the u.k. in its investigation on a b phillips reports. is this the lull before the storm the

british government says it's looking at ways of responding to what it believes is now outrageous act by russia this is part of a pattern of behavior by the putin regime and you'll seeing this reckless support for the use of chemical weapons all the way from syria to the streets of the. country. being encouraged by the determination of our friends to stand with us except that friends aren't so predictable these days the american president shortly after sacking a secretary of state who was highly regarded by the british government says it sounds to him as if russia was involved in the nerve agent attack but in moscow the russian foreign minister said britain was being obstructive refusing to give russia samples of the nerve agent so that it could carry out its own investigation. its

russia is not guilty but russia is ready to cooperate in the framework of the chemical weapons convention only the united kingdom takes pains to fulfill their legal obligations or cling to the same document that was the london's luxury properties luxury shops could britain target russians who spend money here an anti corruption group estimates more than a billion dollars of suspicious russian wealth is invested in u.k. property well it's certainly the case that some of the individuals that we've identified in this research are well known to the kremlin so if they were to find themselves subjected to police investigations by unexplained well for days for example then that would send a very clear message to the kremlin the corrupt individuals and their illicit cash and no longer welcome here british politicians want to send a message to russia that they won't tolerate what they see as a brazen attack on british soil but they also hope to cooperate with russia on

so we've chosen the town of glitch four hours from the capital. which. is where you and alexander live the couple in their eighties kind and hospitable and both staunch putin voters. but he is a very almost man he would never say anything he didn't mean and if a person is all honest speaks genuinely and his deeds do good you can say only positive things about such a man. they see putin as a strong leader and were particularly impressed by the recent state of the nation speech where he pulled back a veil on secret weapons development. of. lived through a tough history with this country we started our lives in a terrifying war there were starvation and losses and we understood this with our countries the ninety's undermined everything so much uncontrollable times but putin

slowly went in the right direction and brought us to the moment where we can see ourselves as a state able to take on a man's tasks again. after talking and evening routine watching the news unlike internet savvy youngsters older russians still get much of their information from t.v. most of it state controlled there's a good reason why the support of people like alexander miller is so important for vladimir putin and that's because when it comes to actually showing up on election day pensioners of the most reliable voters in russia. not everyone here is so enthusiastic go. out on the frozen river volga ice fisherman waits patiently for the bites but when it comes to the elections nicholai isn't impressed with the quality of the catch. whom to vote for

there's no choice no candidates i think all vote for putin i'd like him to catch the thieves and mend our roads he's reinforcing the army at least that's something but there's no one to choose a soon as any candidate appears to slightly challenge him he gets drowned immediately. such disenchantments backs up the view that putin support may be brittle high only because of the lack of alternatives and worryingly for the kremlin state pollster vit c. om just noted a twelve percent drop in putin's ratings in russia's big cities. but out xander miller's allegiance is steadfast in their long lifetime russia has marched to very different music. and they're happy with the man currently calling the cheerleader. chalons down to zero russia. still to come on the news hour how one man is trying to give some dignity to the refugees and migrants who drowned in the mediterranean sea. sharing

the current border wall saying it's too easy to climb and saying somewhat mysteriously that many of the people who climb over it. from mexico are trained mountain climbers which. did seem a little dubious he also called upon congress to immediately fund the wall and as you may remember and as many of our viewers will remember the president during his campaign in two thousand and sixteen repeatedly promised to have mexico pay for the wall an idea that the accident authorities have repeatedly. rejected out of hand didn't mention that pledge again he said instead that he has great relations with mexico and with its president enrique pena nieto despite the fact that the two have not met since trump came into office and drop had some harsh criticisms for the governor of this state california jerry brown saying he's done a poor job as governor of that state taxes are too high and particularly homed in

aliens the people who shouldn't be in the country voting were voting in california and he said that is what made the candidacy of hillary clinton a win over him in terms of the popular vote there's no evidence of that of course but the state is although it has some conservative pockets the cities of san francisco and los angeles are extremely a liberal and they have a large hispanic population as well so this puts the people and the government the elected officials of california at odds with over things like refugee policy immigration policy border wall sanctuary cities and many others including environmental issues lauren rob reynolds thank you very much indeed. the man known as the book keeper of auschwitz has died before he could begin his prison sentence good morning was sentenced over his role in connecting valuables stolen from victims of nazi concentration camps during world war two dominick kane reports

children when the fighting started i went to the border with them when it calmed down i came back to sell tea so i can continue to earn money for them. mary was one of thousands who fled by gog and one of four hundred thousand south sudanese who escaped with european. cause the military headquarters of the armed opposition under the ousted former vice president riek machar this very little to return to for the few who have ventured back. i was here when the fighting happened in august and fled to i heard people were returning so i came back with my children but i didn't find anything when i came back it was destroyed what is left behind a reminder of fierce fighting thousands of civilians use this bridge to flee from baghdad to gamble in neighboring ethiopia when the armed opposition and erect much are lost control of the territory six months ago and while they may have lost their military headquarters the fighting between the opposition and the government is far from over with civilians paying the price of the war that is now in its fifth year

the united nation expects three million south sudanese will be displaced this year in africa's largest refugee crisis since the rwandan genocide in one thousand nine hundred four government ministers want everyone who fled by god to come back we are writing them to come all of them the governor and the deputy governor us and valley . make sure that there were received and the role of the president of the republic of south sudan president salva kiir mayardit is to make sure that those who are killer turning will be provided with the services they need as a government we would like you to work to make sure that services are provided to all of them around four million of south sudan's twelve million population lost their homes as some start to return in other parts of the country the mass displacement continues peace seems elusive to africa's youngest nation people morgan al-jazeera in south sudan. the final resting place for many of the refugees and migrants who have drowned in the mediterranean sea well the three thousand

people died last year alone as they tried to cross from north africa to southern europe people smuggling but now magento reports where one man is attempting to give them some dignity and death in a graveyard for the unknown one volunteer works to one of the migrants and refugees he says the world has forgotten. and in this. i feel like these people didn't have a family so i want to be a family for them because they were persecuted in their countries. tells us it was their suffering that compelled so many desperate people to try and cross into europe from libya but the mediterranean didn't deliver them to safety when their bodies washed ashore here in tsar's east tunisia dean tried to give them the peace he says they deserved all along. when we found a woman with a child i thought to myself maybe he has her son the medical report said he was

five years old i wanted to provide them with dignity and death in a symbolic way because a mother is always with her children in life and i bury them head to head. a few small toys sit atop the grave of the boy shamsuddin placed them there for a child he says should never have experienced such horror. i have two sons who are legally migrated from tunisia to europe maybe the work i'm doing for the dead helped them in some way maybe the spirits of the dead prayed for them to reach europe safely. dean a former fisherman and sometime taxi driver has been volunteering with the tunisian red crescent since well before the current migration crisis he says he's buried hundreds of people in the past decade last year alone he dug seventy six graves this small fishing town in southeastern tunisia sits only about eighty kilometers from the country's border with libya which is a major gateway for migrants and refugees from africa and the middle east who are

trying to reach europe of all the things that dean has witnessed on this beach nothing was as bad as what he encountered one day in two thousand and fourteen. i saw the body of a lady who was attached to her son with a rope and another who had attached her son to a piece of wood and the waves were playing with them men women children as young as nine and ten that scene is burned in my mind back in the cemetery shum said dean keeps the site as clean as he can he and other volunteers are raising money to buy another plot of land that can be turned into a proper resting place but the economic problems in tunisia have made that very difficult in a place that continues to receive the dead they don't even have the money and equipment to collect d.n.a. which means that in a graveyard where the name of only one deceased migrant is known most of the graves will for the time being at least remain anonymous. zita as these tunisia
