time for russian president vladimir putin it's personal and friday the administration of u.s. president donald trump announced its third action in as many weeks against key allies of putin including his own son in law what we would like to see is the totality of the russian behavior change the new u.s. sanctions target thirty eight russian entities seven all of guards are named including putin's personal friend oleg deripaska he's the billionaire founder of em group the largest operator of siberian power plants dura pasta made headlines last year for his reported links to paul mann afford trumps former presidential campaign chair seventeen senior russian government officials and one state owned trading company have also been singled out the latest move comes in response to u.s. accusations russia meddled in the twenty sixteen us election its intervention in ukraine malicious cyber activity and its backing of syrian president bashar assad

who the u.s. accuses of using chemical weapons against civilians the russian government calls the latest sanctions a mistake and has always denied meddling in any us affairs nobody has been tougher on russia than i have but it took months for trying to get tough on russia he was granted the power by the u.s. congress last summer. but waited until last month to impose sanctions the white house escalated its response weeks later joining nearly two dozen other countries expelling dozens of russian diplomats and closing a russian consulate in seattle the actions were a collective international response to the recent poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in britain still when asked this week if putin was a friend or foe trump replied we'll find out i'll let you know. i mean it will be a time when i'll let you know you know to find out very quickly the white house

says despite the new sanctions against russia donald trump has invited vladimir putin for a meeting here in the united states time and date still to be determined kimberly healthy at al-jazeera at the white house the former russian spy at the center of the diplomatic row between the u.k. and russia is no longer in a critical condition doctors say so scruples health is improving a month after he and his daughter junia were poisoned with a nerve agent in the city of souls brain britain blamed russia for the attack but it denies any involvement meanwhile the u.k. foreign office is confirms to propose niece has been denied a visa to travel to the u.k. she was planning to take said his daughter back to russia. there's been more volatility in the world's money markets as the trade fights in beijing and washington continues to rumble on china says it's prepared with what it calls a theists come to strike that softer president trump threaten to slap on additional one hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs on chinese imports gabriel is on don't

know from new york. so is it a trade war or not for wall street on friday the answer to that question didn't matter it's close enough to being one between china and the united states was enough to send the dow tumbling yet again the third time this week that followed president trump's threat to escalate the dispute even further with an additional one hundred billion in tariffs against china on top of fifty billion already proposed china is angry it's made it clear it will fight the us at any cost. we feel the u.s. action is extremely unreasonable the u.s. is seriously misjudged the situation and taking an exceedingly wrong action the result of this kind of behavior is like picking up a piece of stone and smashing your own foot with it even if the threatened tariffs don't become a reality the rhetoric has left a market volatility in its wake on friday at one point the dow dropped over seven

hundred points the us president told a new york radio station the proposed tariffs could cause some pain but are needed to help us we've already lost a trade war i'm not saying there won't be a little pain but the market's gone up forty percent forty two percent so we might lose a little bit of it but would have a much stronger country went to a finish and that's what i'm all about the trumpet ministration has various officials giving off different signals just on friday the director of the national economic council said this was not a trade war and there's still plenty of time to negotiate with china before the tariffs go into effect but on the very same day the treasury secretary said the terror. of threat could lead to a trade war it's that kind of uncertainty that left the markets tumbling and the white house struggling to defend its actions we know that there could be some fluctuation but at the same time the president has said enough is enough china has

to change this illegal and unfair practices. the markets are now closed for the week but nobody is clear where they or this trade dispute will lead roles on doe how do you see to new york. still to come here on al-jazeera. the white house moves to end the so-called catch and release policy that allows freedom of undocumented immigrant small that we court dates also ahead. we have not lost control of the street so i can understand why some people are very worried at the moment london's police chief on the defensive amid a major spike in the city's murder rate. how low the weather still remains a little disturbed across the levant and also through the middle east big area

you're watching al-jazeera mining's peter double your headlines so far today the former brazilian president of use in a field with up to silva is expected to hand himself into the police as soon as saturday after missing an earlier deadline he's in a trade union building in sao paolo a supporters have been rallying outside blueness been ordered to start a jail sentence for corruption. the israeli army has killed at least eight palestinian protesters and injured more than thirteen hundred in demonstrations along the border with gaza thirty people have died near the border with israel since the protests began last friday. and the u.s. says impose new sanctions against some of president vladimir putin's key allies the white house as the penalties are in response to the calls moscow's damaging activities. rebel groups in myanmar say they're becoming increasingly frustrated by

peace talks with the government and may walk away from the negotiations fighting with the military has kept the country in almost constant state of conflict for decades now the out of camera ingersoll of daraa the army first emerged in twenty sixteen when the police outpost in rakhine state they say they're fighting on behalf of the muslim minority further north as the catchin independence army for years they've been fighting the government for control of the region and its resources another front lies to the east with me and ma nationalities democratic alliance army is defending the ethnic group and confronting what it calls government oppression and then there's the current national liberation army it's been fighting since one nine hundred forty nine and wants or ptolemy from myanmar second largest ethnic group wayne hay reports from territory held by the qur'an rebels. for almost seventy years fighters from the korean national liberation army have been taking up arms against the government they want self-determination for

the people of korean state most of which is controlled by the rebel group the government says it wants peace in the ethnic minority areas but in the remote villages of korean state rebel fighters aren't so sure. when worry about fighting are happening again at any moment so we have to keep our soldiers prepared how can we trust me and large government and military everyone in the world knows about them and even their own citizens can't trust them one of the main problems is that the government led by state council on sense doesn't have control over its own military the army ran the country for almost fifty years and is still the most powerful body in me and mob the relationship between the civilian government and the military is not good a source connected to the army has told al jazeera that has to be resolved before peace talks with rebels can make progress. so far the myanmar government has held two peace conferences with rebel groups there's also

a so-called nationwide cease fire agreement in place so-called because there are still many groups that haven't signed that deal among those that have these guys the qur'an national liberation army and yet fighting continues as this footage shot by a korean fighter last month shows the cease fire agreement isn't holding. as always it's civilians who suffer the most with almost one hundred thousand refugees living in camps across the border in thailand. we want to go home but we don't dare because the ceasefire agreement hasn't brought peace we cannot trust the seas are remote in the meantime soldiers in rebel areas a holding their ground like they have for decades the most experienced fighters never believed the armed struggle would still be going but. we have fought against them for so many years so we know that myanmar will not give us a quality easily not only the karen but other ethnicities too so we have to fight

for our rights but if we cannot make peace in our time it will be up to the next generation. for rebel armies disbanding permanently seems a long way off as many in this divided country continue to head in different directions when hey al-jazeera korean state me and my. let's get more on this we're now joined by david gold is me and marc human rights specialist at forty five rights he joins us live from bangkok david pulled out if these different disparate groups which one is doing the most trying keep some sort of process on track. what we've seen in recent weeks and current state is more must this placement we've seen a cease fire agreement which is not holding we've seen people running for their lives frankly and communities in korean state and elsewhere really hopes that in two thousand and fifteen when the cease fire agreement was signed with the minimum military that peace would really be brought to their areas but what we've seen

since october two thousand and fifteen when the agreement was signed is continued violations of the cease fire by the me among military we've seen ongoing military zation on the ground in ceasefire areas and that means that people are running and they've got good reason to because it's a long history of the minimum military training through these areas and bringing human rights violations with them is the government behaving with utter transparency here i mean i guess we can't have this conversation without talking about the ringle muslims who've been displaced across the border into bangladesh. well the issue of conflicts and really the roots of it is is about the minimum militaries refusal to acknowledge the demands of ethnic groups across the country and there is some there is some similarity between what the population could share in i think minorities in other parts of the country are asking for that asking for

fundamental human rights they're asking for respect from the minimal government and consistently the minimal government has been there has been the thumb of these groups why don't the different groups get together. perhaps even in a military sense but definitely in a political sense because surely then they would be stronger they would be genuinely a force to reckon with well the long histories of the different conflicts i'm in my as you mentioned in your in your piece just a moment ago there are long histories of conflicts in different parts of the country and each of them is. nuanced and complex and the ethnic groups do have commonalities there is a common denominator that links human rights violations in rakhine state could share in and shine and current state in elsewhere and that common denominator is the minimum military. but in terms of those groups coming together to speak with

one voice i think we're still a long way off that and part of the reason is the longstanding systematic policy of the memo military in the government to keep these groups divided is there any external act that both the mean mom military the government and these different groups would accept if only to bring a sense of the men some and trying to trying to get them back around the negotiating table well different actors from the international community have tried to participate in a most peace process and there's been a lot of money and a lot of time from the international community that's been invested in ending conflicts in myanmar but we have to acknowledge that as i said the conflicts in myanmar are long and they are complex and what needs to happen if genuine peace is going to take root in myanmar is for the minimum military and government to sit down with these ethnic groups and listen to the demands that they have and make

substantive progress on you know on building peace in the country. and international con and frankly should not be be doing that for them. thank you. colombia's government is starting to register all of the venezuelans who've come in illegally the u.n. is helping with this ambitious project which its hopes will help the hundreds of thousands of fled venezuela's economic meltdown alessandra reports now from the border city of kooky. catulus and his family have been living in colombia for three months illegally and lack of medicine and food for their to three year old daughter rosie left him no choice but to leave venezuela when they heard the colombian government was registering migrants in the country without the threat of the court taishan they wanted to be first in line. with sort of an opportunity hoping it will bring us benefit in the future they asked for all their personal

information and about her health condition and of the baby in particular massive numbers of desperate venezuelans have arrived in the past year. he say they could number more than half a million but there's no exact figure that's why it launched the registration look at the name of just give me the money them because we want to know how many migrants there are and in what condition it was so we can measure what services we can offer and estimate costs because it's very expensive the basics are health and education services so the colombian government has set up more than five hundred registration points like this one across the country they will operate for the next two months this is a major humanitarian emergency especially for a country that has never before had to deal with such a massive influx of migrants the united nations is assisting and says colombia can't be left alone to deal with the exodus that you've got all of us here rival of the venezuelan population is

a regional issue it's not only colombian so it's time to start a more coordinated effort across latin america and hopefully this can be the first step colombian police and soldiers have been the ploy to support the effort oh those being counted include mothers with small children some of the women are pregnant with no money for a room many sleep on the street you know i don't you know we are all just here hoping to work to help ourselves and those back home hopefully this will help formalize our situation. i'm pregnant she's got five children they're all hungry and cold at night the colombian government has made it more difficult for venezuelans to cross the border but we know in the end to the troubles in the country thumbing the flow is just one challenge for these and the people caught up in the crisis alison. immigration also making headlines in the u.s. where the u.s. president donald trump is moving to end the practice it's known as catch and

release and the policy allows immigrants caught in the u.s. without proper documentation to be released while the immigration cases play out in the courts trump is also asking the defense department for a list of military facilities where detained undocumented immigrants could be held ellen fisher has more now from washington. donald trump has been talking about catch and release for a very long time in fact since the election campaign what is it well it is the policy of catching illegal immigrants as they come across the border undocumented migrants is another phrase that people use there held by border patrol or immigration officials their names are taken and then they're released until they get a date for their immigration hearing the donald trump has criticized this law in fact in a tweet just a couple of days ago he called it a dangerous liberal democratic war that he wanted to change and actually dates back to when george w. bush was in the white house but no donald trump has issued a memorandum to say there must be norm or catch and release now add that to the

fact that the department of justice has sent out a memo on friday to see that they want a zero tolerance approach to illegal immigration law longer will people because of phone back across the border but they will face the full might of the american legal system for essentially breaking the law by crossing the border illegally and the fact that we know that the white house is sending a number of national guard troops to the border particularly because of this caravan that is heading through central america through mexico towards the border at the moment but generally to help with border security this is donald trump delivering on election promises to get tough on the border and get tough with the issue of illegal immigration turning our attention to europe because a surge in violent crime on the streets of london is putting pressure on political leaders and the police on thursday alone five stabbings took place in separate locations within a matter of hours the dramatic increase in the murder rate prompted the police in london and community leaders to hold an emergency meeting and put an extra two

hundred officers on patrol. we have not lost control of the strait so i can understand why some people are very worried at the moment we live in and particularly in some areas of london we've had some ghastly homicides as you know particularly in the last few days including those of really young people that is bound to be very frightening for you or. workers on the philippines resort island of border collie say they don't know how they will feed their families after the president roderigo to thirty announced plans to close the island for six months has more from brick hard. work i may be just one of the more than one thousand islands in the philippines but revenues here make up more than twenty percent of the total tourism industry in the country we've spoken to tourists here who many say they don't even know it is the political turmoil that the island is facing with
