i really did bad thing. would i be able to forgive somebody like me a convicted war criminal seeks out the survivors of a prison camp to apologize for the crimes of his past i just can't even showing. the unforgiven weakness documentary on al-jazeera my old team asked. him out but. this is al-jazeera. a lot of this is the news hour live from dog coming up in the next sixty minutes. seven trillion dollars. in the middle east over the last seventeen years

we get nothing nothing at all donald trump says if the us keeps troops in syria someone else is going to pay for. fifty billion dollars worth of tariffs the us reveals the chinese imports they going after the latest move in a growing trade dispute. fleeing me and mabo carrying dozens of ranger refugees finally lands in malaysia will they be allowed to stay. fifty years ago today martin luther king was gunned down in memphis tennessee we returned there to find out if his life made a difference. donald trump says he is close to pulling troops out of syria but the president has added that allies saudi arabia would have to foot the bill to keep an american military presence there. trump told a news conference he will make

a final decision on the issue soon given that the fight against isis was nearly over the pentagon says about two thousand u.s. troops are in syria to prevent an eyesore resurgence and maintain stability or some first hinted the u.s. would soon be leaving at a rally in ohio last week catching many allies and even white house officials off guard is remarks come a day after speaking with king salmen of saudi arabia where they discussed syria along with the saudi led blockade against qatar alan fischer reports from washington. the president insists he's never been keen on america's foreign military adventures seeing the cost too much money thank you at a news conference at the white house with leaders of three baltic countries donald trump insisted as a sit in on withdrawing from syria is coming quickly i want to get out i want to bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation think of it seven trillion dollars over a seventeen year period we have nothing nothing except death and destruction. it's

a horrible thing so it's time it's time. to fish really the u.s. mission in syria is to provide advice and support for forces battling against isis the president's latest statement marks a shift from a comment he made just last week at a political rally in ohio and we're not going the hell out of isis will be coming out of syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now kerry said that caught many in the administration by surprise given senior figures had been talking about an extended syria mission as unfinished business as he was speaking across town a senior state department official seem to back up that idea we are in syria fight isis that is our mission and the mission isn't over and we're going to complete that mission but the u.s. presence costs hundreds of millions of dollars and during the news conference the president turned up the heat on his allies as saying they'll have to share the financial burden saudi arabia. is very interested no decision and i said well

you want to say maybe they'll have to pay. oh the idea of the situation in syria could be one of the things discussed during an anticipated gulf meeting hosted by the u.s. this ring has disappeared reports coming out of washington suggest the unannounced summit has been shelved there are a number of reasons for any potential delay first of all the u.s. doesn't have a secretary of state at the moment rex tillerson still hasn't been replaced donald trump is planning to meet north korean leader kim jong un in the next couple of months that summit will take a lot of preparation and with a real prospect of no breakthrough in the g.c.c. dispute the americans are worried they'll invest a lot of time and effort with nouriel return any potential summit could know take place later in the year alan fischer al-jazeera washington. trampas also announce he is going to deploy soldiers along the border with mexico the u.s. president saying the move is needed until his long promised wall is built trumper

demanded the mexican government stop a caravan of more than twelve hundred central american migrants moving toward the u.s. border get up when they're close if you want to put troops at the border perfect he can put them there but to use us to enforce his policies of fear as if these people were soldiers look at the women look at the women and children fleeing the violence . john homan has more from mexico city. donald trump says that putting troops on the border is a big step but it's actually something that the two presidents that came before him also did temporarily what's going to determine exactly how big it is is how many military personnel is going to go on that mexico united states divide and what exactly they're going to do president trump also said that he's going to be talking to mexico about the cooperation on migration across that mexican us border he seems to think the mexico is not doing enough to cooperate with the united

states and stop country migrants from countries in central america like honduras and el salvador crossing through this country on their way to the united states has even said that if he doesn't get what he wants he could pull out of nafta the free trade agreement between the united states mexico and canada what president trump doesn't seem to be aware of is that here in mexico on the southern border they've been tightening the up for the last few years and cutting more and more central american migrants that are trying to get through the mexican government in response to president trump's tweets on the issue try to strike a measured tone and say that they continue that cooperation with the united states and that they didn't promote illegal migration now of course beneath all of that political drama there's also a human element to this there are people that a fleeing honduras el salvador guatemala those central american countries

a many of them a fleeing because of chronic problems poverty but also because of gang violence gangs in those countries that dominate the stool and kill and some of those that we've spoken to they're heading on the way north since president trying to get into power have said that despite his rhetoric and despite the measures that he is planning to take they'll still keep heading north because they don't have a lot of choice. david roshi is a professor at the national defense university and a former pentagon official he says trump's hostility towards u.s. involvement in syria taps into a broader sentiment. most americans share that view that we have no business being involved in what they see as other people's fights and that when we do get involved in particularly in the middle east that it just becomes a fiasco and there's very little that benefits america so i think that the washington commentary at which i'm

a junior varsity member of will will you know astounded and clutch their pearls and they'll be negative washington post office but i think that among trump's base they'll say yeah that's what we elected him for the trump policy toward syria is not that different from the obama policy and you know we did not intervene in syria to defeat bash. and his hezbollah an iranian overlords we entered there to defeat isis because they were beheading american hostages and there was always a paradox both in iraq and in syria which was the united states was kind of serving as a de facto air force for militias aligned with iran i think the president also uses language and precisely and i think when he says saudi arabia he's probably using that as a surrogate for all the sunni muslim states of the region that are concerned about iranian domination of the assad regime and of an iranian land bridge from iran through baghdad across syria to lebanon. china has condemned the latest move by the

u.s. in a growing trade dispute it says it is ready to retaliate again after being hit with twenty five percent tariffs on more than one thousand three hundred items the duties affect mostly non consumer products in the industrial technology transport and medical sectors the goods add up to about fifty billion dollars worth of annual imports on monday china imposed duties on one hundred twenty eight u.s. products affecting about three billion dollars in imports they include pork wine cherries and presto ashes the u.s. society of national security as a reason for the terrorists but china's government says they violate world trade organization rules adrian brown is live for us now in beijing so adrian how is china reacting to the escalating trade friction. well six am local time that's about four hours ago china's commerce ministry issued

a very brief blunt statement warning of counter measures of equal intensity then shortly after that we heard from china's foreign ministry warning that what the u.s. was doing was recklessly endangering trade cooperation between china and the united states and that these were unrealistic protectionist actions so the fact the response from china has been you know quite strong i would say during the past few hours it seems that the trumpet ministration is targeting industries that form part of president xi jinping made in china two thousand and twenty five strategy this is his plan to make china a modern manufacturing economy within the next seven years in doing so of course china is challenging the big tech giants in the united states and they say the only reason that china has got to where it's at now is because it's been stealing and

replicating their technology and they wanted to stop what happens at the moment in china is this say some u.s. executives when a u.s. company wants to do business here in china it has to find a local partner in the process the u.s. side has to hand over often quite sensitive information you know details about how they do what they do their intellectual property rights the problem is when the joint venture goes sour the chinese side holds on to that information and there are no safeguards for the u.s. side that's what the u.s. is really targeting analysts say it's not so much the trade deficit that the in the crosshairs of the trumpet ministration it's chinese trade practices adrian brown live for us there in beijing thank you. now russia has agreed to speed up delivery of a powerful air defense system to turkey a move which has alarmed its nato allies putin has put his warming relationship

with russia typewriter one on show as he also launched construction of turkey's first nuclear power sovereign jellied reports from ankara. it's a special occasion for turkey to be part of the nuclear power generating club this is the site of the twenty billion dollars. which is scheduled to begin operations by twenty point three the leaders of russia and turkey said it will have a workforce which is already under training in russia it's the first foreign visit by president vladimir putin since he was reelected last month he chose nato member turkey which has become a staunch russian partner in recent months or so which is it would know today we're not just inaugurated the first atomic power plant but we're laying the foundations for turkey to have an atomic industry so we're building a whole new sector turkey is a highly developed economic state but this is a new step in the history of a turkish republic besides the power plant the two countries are forging defense economy in strategic ties both countries are working on

a major gas pipeline which will provide hydrocarbons with the growing energy needs they accuse birches of russian s four hundred missile defense system has been criticized by its nato allies to them between the two countries is worth more than twenty six billion dollars a year and the turkish president is hopeful that russian help he can push the economy to be among the top ten in the world by twenty twenty three trucks is that if we are enacting many strategic projects together with russia the s four hundred strategic missile defense system and the turks stream pipeline are just some of the projects we're working on the nuclear power plant is another and we will also address the terror threat and conflict in syria. so billion nuclear technology defense and the economy are sectors where turkey and russia have common interests turkey's geopolitical position plays an important role in its relationship with moscow but ankara is increasingly having to play a difficult balancing act between being a nato ally and partners with

a country which many in the alliance see as a threat. and car. putin also commented on the spiral with britain which has led to the expulsion of dozens of russian diplomats worldwide putin says up to twenty countries have the capability to manufacture the same nerve agent used to poison former double agents. school scotland yard because . scotland yard is on record for saying they need a couple of months to complete this investigation within the framework of information i have been given the head of the defense laborde treat which is based eight kilometers from the location where the incident took place told news agencies that they were not able to detect the country of origin that the agent was from they could not tell if it was manufactured in russia and they were not able to make that clear. a plenty more ahead on the news hour trapped in limbo land the african refugees facing more uncertainty after israel scraps

a relocation. or charred stump for a long fight well workers in france valiant to keep striking till the government meets their demands. plus later in sport it is all one sided affair and a clash of champions league winners and the season's quarterfinals peter we'll have the details. are still to come but first our boat carrying nearly sixty ranger refugees has reached malaysia the journey for the group began at the overcrowded bangladeshi refugee camp of cox's bazar headed through southern sea routes where it was intercepted by the time navy stopping on an island in the krabby province group was given supplies in a score to the way the boat was then spotted and intercepted by malaysian maritime enforcement in pulau in the line car we waters it was docked in quetta state an

immediate aid was given to refugees they will now be processed by malaysia's immigration department plus louis is live for us in bil'in to close to where the ranger refugees are being processed process so florence what is the latest on this group. well well on the way to bill on take which is where the immigration department is where about twenty kilometers from there we understand that the fifty six refugees whose boat has been intercepted by malaysian authorities in malaysia in waters just a day ago and choose day have been taken there where they will be processed accordingly according to malaysian authorities they'll be treated as migrants without valid travel documents now and we understand as well that representatives from a move limb aid organization were allowed to visit these refugees when they were being held on long cowley island on tuesday they are trying to get permission to enter the camp on wednesday as well now and we spoke to one of them and he said

that they appeared to be fine some one were not feeling well they don't appear to be in any serious condition some were hungry presumably because they hadn't had enough food or water enough to eat in the last couple of days when they were on the sea journey traveling to malaysia not malaysia has a policy of not allowing refugee boats or north taking in refugees who arrive by boat but they say they are extending assistance this time on humanitarian grounds it's also worth noting that the prime minister najib razak has. has said that he has said this is a couple of years ago and he has said that he these were injured people because of being so put because they're being persecuted in myanmar the world has to extend assistance to them and he called he said what was happening to them in myanmar he used very strong words he said it was a genocide that was taking place in myanmar but it's also worth noting that he is

expected to call for a general election perhaps within the coming weeks and election has to be held why all this so there is some speculation that perhaps malaysia is changing its policy not just for humanitarian reasons but perhaps also to gain some brownie points with was the majority voted. and this is the first boat intercepted in malaysia for the year are we expecting more that's right now refugees coming. traveling from myanmar. taking the paralyse journey to others how these asian countries and that's not something new we saw this peak in two thousand and fifteen and since then there has been a crackdown by countries in the region on trafficking networks so this is the very first boat to arrive in on malaysian shores this year now and refugee advocates say it's not surprising that this is taking place again because of what's happening in

rakhine state in myanmar where there's and crackdown on the muslim minority having said that we are entering the start of the monsoon season which will make sailing in the undermanned sea and along the straits of malacca extremely dangerous extremely perilous so we may see we may not see very many boats in the coming weeks but we can expect perhaps more to pick up when the sailing season starts sometime in october. lifeforce there in the land. four police officers have been cleared of using excessive force against an african australian man and during the violence a rest in melbourne that was caught on camera in two thousand and sixteen the sudanese born man had assaulted several people including an eighty year old man before trying to hold up a pharmacy armed with scissors security camera footage captures his arrest shortly

a palestinian from gaza living and working in the occupied west bank now it is trying to arrange permission to get back home and mourn with her family she says her nephew or a former was killed by israeli fire while working his land before the mass protests in gaza on friday let's have out of the shadows look i still don't know whether i'll get the permit or not i'm tired of going to bury people and come back i'd love if i got a permit to go to gaza eat fish have fun and see the people i love. over the course of two days in the west bank demonstrators came out to express solidarity with the people in gaza against the israeli occupation and to denounce american policy which they say is biased toward israel but attendance was sparse in light of the numerous calls for a campaign of escalation in the west bank this week you would have expected a protest like this to be much larger but here in ramallah it's a pervasive sense of resignation that seems to far outweigh any feelings of anger. in many instances it's

a growing cynicism toward the palestinian political leadership that has been behind the twinkling number of protesters over the past several years. palestinian officials don't deny the existence of that sentiment. the position of the leadership is it is strong and tough but it has to be translated into terms of of policies on the ground and i think that's when we are alone that's what we have not really been able to do to lead in downtown ramallah some residents worry the split between the two main palestinian groups but to her and hamas will seep ever more into the social fabric in can we need to tell the politicians enough dividing us stop saying west bank and gaza so we don't feel this division others expressed their frustration level has in the financial it says i don't feel that there are people who encourage and push us to go to protest it's not enough for one or two people to show up you need leadership to encourage you and you need daily

demonstrations but with levels of fatigue here as high as they've ever been many worry things will only get worse mohammed improvement easier for muslims in the occupied west bank the un's refugee agency says it is disappointed that israel's scrapped the deal to relocate hof the african refugees living there have been protests against the u.-turn in tel aviv and jerusalem stephanie decker reports from tel aviv. the deal was on then it was off this was the reaction in tel aviv by some who had hoped that tens of thousands of asylum seekers from eritrea and sudan would finally have their legal status resolved. is one of them he made the dangerous journey from eritrea in the horn of africa alone at the age of sixteen he's been here for six years and is fluent in hebrew he shows us his immigration papers that he needs to renew every two months shit. is first of all there is racism in this country and

this is a difficult disease especially among the politicians. with but then there's the issue of a government takes twenty percent of the money we make and puts in a deposit we can only see this money when we leave the country this puts huge pressure on us. the deal would have seen just over sixteen thousand african asylum seekers resettled in western countries under the auspices of the united nations and in exchange israel would process and resolve the status of up to twenty thousand others who would remain in the country something it hasn't done it would also replacing ultimatum issued by the israeli government last year be deported to an unknown african country or face an indefinite time in jail but activists tell us that even this now cancelled deal which put some hope was floored this is the first time we had a chance to take part to take responsibility to share the burden with the world and say look. it's hard for us blah blah blah even though it's not hard we're

benefiting at konami cleaner but let's say it's hard for us where do we stay where we're going to take our we're going to take our share and taking refugees we are actually from the modern state from our democracy state we're trading we're saying ok we're we can't even take care of sixty thousand we're throwing them back to the world many of the african asylum seekers we've been speaking to live here in southern tel of the they will tell you that there was a short lived moment of hope but now it is back to the uncertainty that they have experiencing here for years and they say they don't know what israeli government will do next these people have been living in a legal limbo for years under the constant threat of prison or deportation we're told this is all part of a systematic strategy to force them to leave israel human rights activists say this is an inherently racist policy aimed to preserving the identity of israel as an exclusively jewish state and it appears that a plan that would allow up to twenty thousand asylum seekers to stay in israel and

get some form of legal status was something that those in the country's far right didn't tolerate for even half a day stephanie decker al-jazeera. of the former leader of the spanish region of catalonia may soon be extradited to spain prosecutors in the in germany have applied for colace puja months extradition after his arrest there last month he faces charges of rebellion after leading catalonians illegal referendum on to session last year france has had the first of what could be many days of transport chaos rail workers are striking against president emanuel across a planned labor reforms just one in four trains in paris have been running unions want the government to give up its plans to cut benefits and pensions the reports. it was chaos for commuters in paris as the rail strike began to hit with most trains cancelled many passengers were left stranded some stations were nearly empty

these strikes will be a man on michael's biggest test since he came to power in a he has promised to transform france's accordingly and he's been pushing ahead with an ambitious reform agenda but it will not be easy to reform as in say. if macro fails the remainder of his presidential term will be tarnished as a huge failure on the other hand if he succeeds he will be seen in the months and years to come as someone who was capable of reaching out to the unions and doing exactly what he was elected to do and that was to reform the country reform. past presidents have tried and failed to reform s.n.c.f. is determined to succeed much now will depend on the result of france's powerful trade unions its national buchla al-jazeera paris. are still ahead on details on the first prison sentence in the investigation into possible russian meddling in the u.s.
