you can the world is watching with anticipation the first ever meeting of a sitting u.s. president and the leader of north korea is set for june the twelfth in singapore. bringing the breakthrough to reach a global nuclear threat find out on al-jazeera. stop separating migrant children from their parents that i want to from the u.n. to the u.s. government that says entering the country without proper documents should not be a crime bob what will that mean for a president who wants to build a border again this is inside story. and welcome to the program on the soprano the u.n. has urged the trumpet ministration to immediately stop separating migrant children

from their families at its border with mexico it said on tuesday that the practice was a serious violation of international law but the us is the only country in the world that has not ratified the un convention on the rights of the child and has recently adopted a zero tolerance policy with undocumented migrants hundreds of children who cross the southern border have been held in custody since october and followed an executive order issued by the president the u.s. defends its policy by saying it's a way to stop illegal immigration most of the people who arrive at its southern border are from guatemala el salvador and on douras the violence and drug trafficking a common well this is what the u.n. susan rice office had to say there is nothing normal about detaining children as a detention is never in the best interest of the child. and always constitutes a child rights violation. on this being a criminal offense as i said this should be entry into

a country without the right peepers should at most be an administrative offense and it certainly does not warrant jailing children or washington has reacted strongly it's un on war nikki haley said once again the united nations shows its hypocrisy by calling out the united states while it ignores the reprehensible human rights records of several members of its own human rights council while the high commission his office ignorantly attacks the united states with words the united states leads the world with its actions like providing more humanitarian assistance to global conflict than any other nation neither the united nations nor anyone else will dictate how the united states upholds its borders well let's look at some of the more controversial points and president trump's immigration policy is pledge to build a wall along the mexican border to prevent illegal crossings and drug smuggling he rolled back and immigration program introduced by former president barack obama

known as dhaka or deferred action for childhood arrivals it protects around eight hundred thousand young undocumented immigrants from deportation and provides them work permits trampas banned nationals of six muslim majority countries from entering the united states of a what he said was security concerns he also increased the arrests of undocumented immigrants and the president has signed an executive order for a review of the so-called h. one b. visa program that brings highly skilled workers to the u.s. . well let's bring in our guests now in new york is and you know a civil rights lawyer of the center for constitutional rights and washington d.c. catron film a spokeswoman for the u.s. department of homeland security under the obama administration and joining us by scott from fort worth texas is jennifer managing attorney at the refugee and immigrant center for education and legal services thank you all for joining us mr casado attorney general jeff sessions has said if you'll smuggling

a child we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law is separating these children from their parents legal no it's not. under the due process cause the supreme court has said many times that there is a fundamental liberty interest in keeping the family integrity of float i think that under the law there is only a few instances in which a child can be separated from the parent the government has to show that the parent is either on fit that the child is endangered or that it's absolutely necessary and the government can't show anything any of those here mr howard do you think the law is being upheld and if it's lost how far she's getting away with breaking it. you know it doesn't appear that. being. it's just it's the law hasn't required that you must be separated as you know that trended

ministration previously wasn't separating families it's. just very it was going on but now it's. just. it's. it's cruel and in here in maine and. we should and this is just. the catron president trump has said put pressure on the democrats to end the horrible door that separates children from their parents and that the democrats are actually responsible for this policy you worked for the department of homeland security under the obama led democratic administration what do you make of that well there is no law that that's just false it's a lie and they have and they meaning the trumpet ministration has instituted this

new policy which seems like a knee jerk reaction to make their base happy but it absolutely was not well thought out and it's going to have serious repercussions what we did in the obama administration was focus our resources on the worst of the worst felons not families this policy that the obama administration has and acted on their own is their own fault and is really not well thought out it's it's horrible this is a new low in border policy well the obama administration did deport many more people and it's for a few years than the trump administration has how is what's happening now different to what happened to president obama. that's right what is happening now is they are going after the lowest hanging fruit they are just rounding up everybody they can get their hands on and that's not the way to do things what we did under the previous administration was go after the worst of the worst murderers

rapists you know the people who have actually committed a felony and that does take a time on resources and but what they're doing now is just like throwing out our net and catching whoever and that's not the way to do things it's actually public safety threat to do it this way when we focus on the criminals you get the criminals out of the country and i think that everybody can agree on that line but when you go after the dreamers those who are serving in our militaries those who are going to school and going through the immigration process the right way that's that's just not the way to do things it's inhumane and it's not in line with our american values mr how are you in texas who is arriving at the border they asylum seeker economic migrants who is that a more sort of complex mix of social and economic effect is what are you seeing.

we're overwhelmingly saying that these are the sons of seekers our families playing for next year when violent countries these we have clients who are being threatened daily by gang members teenage boys threatening to be chilled if they don't join a gang against family members being kidnapped eaten at chelsea and we have people playing to mr i want their countries cannot justice systems aren't eclipse to protect them from domestic violence and so it really has no return they are really in life or death situations and they're seeking our protection here in the united states and this policy cast is individuals as criminals that united state needs protection from what really is the reverse is a sam's curse me out and the sickness out of what are the u.s. government's obligations to protect asylum seekers how should they be going

about doing it. the united states has a long required and had an obligation to process asylum seekers at the border. the congress passed the immigration and nationality act which codified at length the statutory rights that the government has to take when someone asks for asylum stating a well founded fear of persecution moreover under international law the united states has a duty not to turn people away into a country that they fear the united states' policy here of turning people away is really unfortunate it's a human rights violation and instantiates the racial animus that is so prevalent within the administration must catch on to all those crossing that us mexico border genuine asylum seeker is is this administration determining giving them a chance to put their case for would as asylum seekers as it determine you know

what category they fall into before dealing with them. we don't know but we do know that there are push factors in central america that are causing the arrival of these immigrants and they do deserve to be heard if they are in fear of returning to their home country they should be provided asylum and go through the judicial process what i'm hearing now that it's happening at the border is everyone is going through these mass proceedings before the courts so they don't really have the opportunity to present their case that the way that the sessions policy has been enacted just doesn't actually allow them to be heard and what we do need to do is provide asylum to those who are seeking and have a credible fear and and that is in line with our american values. we've seen videos all of you know mass trials taking place with people in shackles

children or their parents made aware of the legal protections and options in the language is that something that's happening and i certainly hope so. i'm not. can be confident that that is happening but i should hope that the public defenders are giving a guy's ols to immigrants and their native language. you know we have not only stance speakers but also indigenous languages and so those needs should be met as well. but it does seem there is a lot of confusion and people don't understand what is going on what's happening to their children whether they're going to be able to apply for us and we're hearing reports that c.b.p. customs and border patrol are discouraging immigrants for vocalized they're here

saying you're not going to win your case or yeah. you know this is it possible you can apply for that so we don't think that there is good access to justice and peace situations and it would be a very confusing picture especially for children missing this out of as of april of the seven hundred children seized from their parents in the six months previous to that more than one hundred were under the age of four what happens to them where the under four was being sent. first i'd like to highlight the psychological damage that the government is causing these children as you correctly noted many of them are toward learners wrestled away from the arms of their parents and i mean them literally. customs and border protection will separate parents from children per policy whether they come with their parents at the port of entry or if they cross by foot these children are then

sent to our custody in the interim fair put in basically glorified dog kennels which have inadequate bedding showers pediatrician anything a child who had survived one of the most horrific journeys imaginable could need from there they're sent to waiting facilities i don't know if you saw recently senator jeff merkel from oregon tried to visit one it was in an abandoned wal-mart in brownsville texas customs and border protection didn't let him in because they don't want to see what's in there a picture of the inhumanity would really undermine what the administration is doing here which again has no penal logical or child welfare purpose but again is only meant to be punitive yes absolutely terrible conditions at least the children once they're separated from their parents must be also heard last month from a government official that the this is from the department of health and human

services that has agency had quote lost track of nearly fifteen hundred immigrant children who had been seized after crossing that border and some of them it was feared had been turned over to human trafficking is how do you lose track of fifteen hundred children do we know what's happened to them. we don't but let me go back a second just to what that gentleman just said to be clear c.b.p. or border patrol they do not hold children in their facilities we don't have those facilities that's not what they're intended for when a child crosses the border the first thing they do is go through an immunization check and identification and then they are turned over to health and human services or h.h.s. which has the capacity to to take care of the children and place them in the hands of a relative or a sponsor now h.h.s. asked should be keeping track of all of these children and doing their best to be

in touch with the sponsors or the relatives that they've put them in in their care right be the welfare of the child should be their number one priority so i do understand that those who have been entrusted with a child's care may not want to talk to the government right now because they are so scared that this administration if they are you know in any way here illegally that they will be deported as well so they may not be answering the phone they may not be answering the door when these representatives comes to call because this administration has shown we can't believe what they're saying and we can't be trusted we just don't know what they're going to do to us they maybe taking their child away when they call so i think you know it's horrible all the way around so fifteen something like fifteen hundred children who can't be traced shows that

the system that is in place might not be working and as well as that mr howard the american civil liberties union and the human rights clinic at the university of chicago nor school have also said that u.s. border guards have been beating and abusing migrant children and have threatened them with sexual violence i mean have you heard these reports. so we know the. job search will certainly take liberties and interviews immigrants and we are not satisfied that. children or adults are being treated fairly at the border we have heard about minors being abused. and we screen our our children clients certainly to see what is happening and what rights are being violated a challenge here hersel without an adult it's

a scary to do using process after this long journey trying to get to safety and then just show up and have the government officials treat your child that way i just don't see how that is happening in our country right now that's because i believe that you are working on a class action north of the moment and the american civil liberties union has father class action suit challenging this policy of separating children from their families what are its chances of challenging the practice do you think one clarification our lawsuit alleges that c.b.p. customs and border protection is unlawfully denying individuals the right to actually access the asylum process one of the ways in which they do that and did do that even indeed before this april policy was threatening parents that we will take your child away if you try and access the asylum process and now that's

a threat or an intimidation. they so use a lawsuit more directly challenges to child separation policy i think it stands a very good chance and i'll tell you why the government has a very weighty burden to show justification to separate parents from children again under due process under cases such as sun tosk ian troxel the government needs to show that there is either child endangerment or an unfitness of the parent they can't show that here the government has actually changed its position on a number of times and actually other government has never taken the position that the law says that you need to separate children from families actually for the past five to ten years children have been sent with their parents to family detention now that in and of itself is a whole nother heinous set of circumstances but it's still prefer rable to the utterly unnecessary and frankly inhumane hala see of tearing children away from their parents let's cut to the government be able to show that this policy is

working in deterring migrants because before being implemented it was piloted in new mexico and according to immigration officials in the last half of the last year the number of families attempting to cross without documents decreased by sixty four percent so if the government if this is ministration can show to the country to its supporters that this is working will it be able to continue with it. absolutely not you need to address illegal migration to fold one is the deterrence factor and the other is actually addressing the push factors which are causing people to migrate here in the first place under the obama administration you know they requested a billion dollars to be sent to central america to help address those problems we establish programs within those countries and we work with those those countries directly i think that you will see a decrease for a little while and then the numbers will spike back up again because of those push

factors you know the conditions as mentioned previously are so horrible that they are willing to make this track through the united states and and to try to get her to seek asylum and to seek a better life for themselves and their children but an address to those push back does is along to game is going to take a lot of time but in the meantime if what's happening at the border is not is not legal in america what can these families do now you know who's fighting for their cause. so cleverly there are a lot of amazing organizations that are fighting british families and it will gain races we've made a commitment to accepting representation pro bono who are the parents who are detained at to facilities and text is why i'm here is close to or were not granted texas about forty miles away because we know that that being detained is

a huge barrier to accessing legal services these are places in remote locations and it's hard for her attorneys to get there it's hard to schedule twenty minutes to see and it's hard to you know get documents evidence go rank so we we're putting that you know as one of our top earnest as providing legal representation and we also call on others if you see if this is happening in your fresh trade it's rain kurdish people to contact their legitimate is just to get them to share their story and don't just accept this as one more thing that trump is joining up. you know stand up and do something and mr posada on the so that's on the national level what about internationally because of this is illegal under international law or like various organizations a saying what can the international community actually do here. i think the u.n.

was right to condemn the conduct the united states has taken a deplorable approach to migration which is indeed a fundamental human right the united states should recognize that it installing right wing governments and central american countries in the eighty's and ninety's is actually responsible for the root cause of this the united nations and other international organizations would be correct in joining a chorus of condemnation for this utterly asinine policy but as we've seen from the u.n. representative the u.s. representative to the u n nikki haley the condemnation has been met with equal condemnation from miss haiti miss catron what did the democratic control of congress if they are successful in the upcoming midterm elections change this policy do you think i hope so we should do whatever we can to put pressure on the trumpet ministration that this is just this is abhorrent this is not what we will stand for as americans you don't separate

a child from his or her parents especially in their most traumatic moment so whether it's from the public or from these up and coming members of congress or other countries i really hope that everyone lancer voice to this and mrs haddo i'd just like to give you the last would as well as you know the condemnation and everybody lending their voice what needs to happen to stop this and soon. well one i'd like to acknowledge the amazing work that individuals and organizations are doing on the border the keno born edition of ballot our law though in the women's refugee commission are fighting for the rights of migrants every single day i think people rightly are joining and becoming louder and louder to condemn the united states policy that being said the united states has had a long policy of separating children from their families going back to the slave trade and going forward to native americans who were taken away from their parents on tribal land and sent to american christian schools i think this is nothing new i

think the administration's animus is now instantiating itself into an unlawful policy and i think people should take to the representatives and rightfully condemn this practice or at mystic aside or thank you very much for that and thank you to all of our guests that is angela in new york marsha catron in washington d.c. and jennifer and forth with texas and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and to further discussion to go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter at a.j. inside story from me it is a problem and the entire team here i i found . it's been one year since its

taliban to introspect that violent campaign is not winning them hearts and minds but further alienating the afghan people from the core of his brand jennifer glass joins on the phone now from kabul to jump a bit of a surprise in the foot but no confirmation yet from the taliban. you come from the taliban i think laura you're right this book everybody by vice president gunny it was a live video message is on the video message streamed on facebook it seems to be the next step after the government strategy to engage the taleban. ghani offered to teach talks without preconditions and political recognition from the taleban so far they haven't taken that off although they had heard that bin laden commanders as you just said there are there are talks going on with certain factions of the taliban but he didn't say who or how many or what kind of influence they have that is always the big problem here a lot of the taliban is unified or not and the real question is how this fire might

work if it's just with the taliban we know that there are other groups fighting around the country but this announcement of a ceasefire unilaterally by the afghan government this is very much it's a cry and part of a new strategy to try and ferret out from the taleban is really engage with the government and a lot of amazing questions jennifer and how such a safe flight even a short one like this will be in for some missing near daily attacks continue. absolutely that is the big question i still could later they said they were cracking rick asked if they had seen the report of course there are bigger trainers and advisers of one side afghan forces and it's not just because you have been carrying out an act around afghanistan i saw and more than a dozen other anti-government groups also if you want to act on civilians and military forces as well trying to figure out how you gauge what you really gauge

thank you fight that you don't fight how this is going to affect your operation those are all the questions that are still going right now absolutely will be following the story closely for the moment though jennifer many thanks for bringing us that latest breaking news from kabul now in yemen there have been new efforts to end the three guinn long civil war reuters news agency is reporting this u.n. peace plan proposes the who sees hand in their weapons including ballistic missiles in exchange they'll be an end to the saudi embassy coalition's bombing campaign it also mentions a transitional government agreement with all political elements equally represented previous efforts to end the conflict have failed but the united arab emirates has hinted that it will support the plan un is due to present a framework for negotiations in the yemen by mid two. zero meanwhile the u.s. has warned the united arab emirates against launching a pose offensive to capture yemen's hard data port the red sea port is the main lifeline for humanitarian aid and saudi military says yemeni government forces it

back as part of the coalition with the u.a.e. and within ten kilometers of the who controlled city human experts are warning of serious consequences if the military assault begins i've heard from many experts. during this visit of the great of the grave anxiety. about an attack on the data and the significant and avoidable humanitarian consequences that would result. and overcrowded smugglers baez's capsized off the coast of somalia killing forty six people un's migration agency says the group of mostly ethiopians is on its way to yemen hoping to find work in the gulf region sixteen others who are still missing a thought to have drowned more than one hundred people on board the vessel when it left somalia on tuesday dionysus by some transnational organization for migration he told us that the problem goes beyond this recent incidents we talk

a lot about the mediterranean because it's euro centric approach to things but the real rices is people seven thousand a month probably going to yemen from the horn of africa desperately trying to find work to get out of poverty making their way to the gulf region so that's what it's all about and when they're provided on and when they're abused and murdered at times it really doesn't make headlines shaped there's an awful lot of abuse of these migrants and they come across they don't necessarily have as many resources as those coming from west africa do but the my of the those predating on those who pick them up on the road and then take them off to sellers and torture them are doing exactly the same thing they're burning plastic bottles on to their skin getting to call their families back home in ethiopia primarily so they'll send whatever they can and quite often it might be twenty fifty dollars is nothing but it's all that poor family can scramble together to save their loved ones and of course they they're let out of detention only be picked up

a day or two later by another gang so it's a horrible trail of tears for them i'm sorry to say the problem is it because migration isn't managed very well and it's being controlled by some mothers that you end up with people being exploited so what we're seeing is the fruits of exploitation due to a very on an equal world frankly i mean if we're talking about poverty stream poverty in one part of the world youth unemployment and you know great riches not too far away so this is not surprising that people want to try and support their families as best they can. at least eighteen people have been killed and more than one thousand injured in a blast in baghdad on wednesday a weapons staff six days in the basement of a shia mosque inside a city district fat head joins us now live from baghdad as a child what we know about this basket seems to have been accidental that's right laura that's what we're hearing certainly according to police sources as world it seems that there was a funeral mourning tain't close to

a mosque in salt or a city in the heart of such a city that's the stronghold from t'other side or a very poor neighborhood a large neighborhood in baghdad we understand from these police sources that it seems as if people cooking in that morning change may have caused the explosion because there are allegations being made against indeed an individual that there was a massive weapons stash inside that mosque and that's how the explosion happened i was looking at pictures of the area it seems as if the blast was vast a lot of buildings around there that were destroyed huge crater has been left as you say at least eighteen people killed and dozens of other others injured and just actually in the last few minutes saddam has released a statement on his website he denounced the blast and he has called for an

investigation committee to be set up and to submit expire endings in the next seventy two hours and he said that it was important that people were patient and that others did not take advantage of what he describes as the improving political and security situation in iraq right now and meanwhile charles we've got the prime minister calling for a comprehensive ballot recount from last month's elections why is that. well the build up to this vote in parliament yesterday for this complete manual recount across the country really started almost immediately after those results started coming through following the may the twelfth election there were complaints allegations of voter fraud in the kurdish region of northern iraq and we've seen protests right up to this week in and around kirkuk amongst the arab the turkmen of the kurdish community that there are also allegations of voter fraud in some of the

sunni areas who did indeed nineveh province but as you say this is become this was a great surprise nobody actually expected that we would be seeing a complete manual recount across the country interestingly since that vote came through we've had comments from how d.l. honoree who came second in that in that vote obviously a vote that now is being recounted he's head of the bloc one of the former major leaders of how should a shabby that was so instrumental in the battle against isis he has basically come out in support of this recount as has nouri al maliki the former prime minister who came forth in that election count as a say an election now that is having to be recounted he also in dual seeing this move by parliament to recount these votes manually we had a look at yesterday's events as they unfolded and this is our report. allegations

of voter fraud have been mounting since the may the twelfth parliamentary elections but no one expected this iraq's parliament voted for a total manual recount of all ballots across the country and to cancel results god that's true the electronic voting system that was used in the poll there if it is for the political stability of the country if the recount is vastly different to the original result and at the moment when i come to. i believe you are about to witness my changing dynamics and variables it could also be dangerous some political blocks might agitate the iraqi street and the country weapons are not restricted to the government alone there are proofs of frauds according to reports was that the warnings had been clear from prime minister hydrilla body in his weekly news conference on tuesday he banned all high ranking members of the election commission from traveling abroad he said a ministerial committee had found what he called dangerous violations jurong the

election yet it did criminal charges might be brought against those responsible on wednesday parliament voted to freeze the work of senior election commission members nine judges will be delegated to oversee the manual recount instead prime minister hyderabadi has blamed the electronic voting system for this crisis he says that it proves that the system was not properly tested before the vote now it's believed a manual recount across this country could take at least two weeks and that means the process of forming a new coalition government will be delayed that al-jazeera baghdad. jordan's encumbering prime minister. has pledged to work with all the parties to form a tax so that suits everyone.
