12:00 am
yes absolutely and it seems that the meeting here is going to be a little longer than we expected both leaders will be in town for some considerable time we're now learning supreme leader kim we understand will be coming here to singapore on sunday we think his journey about six hours in his aging russian plane president trump's journey much longer than that more than double that length of time as he flies all the way from quebec to here in singapore and he'll be arriving on sunday evening so that they're all here well before twenty four hours ahead of the summit starting on choose day now and we understand from president trump that he may well do a second day so it's really a pretty substantial meeting here in singapore and it brings up the question is how well prepared is president trump clearly supreme leader kim knows these issues intimately he knows the history of his country he knows his nuclear program started
12:01 am
by his grandfather and then by his father president trump on the other hand really we don't know how knowledgeable here is about the history of north korea or about nuclear weaponry and i think there are some concerns some of the u.s. allies concerned about the comments come from the president that doesn't really need to do much preparation has been preparing for all of that for this for all of his life because these are very very detailed subjects and the north korean knows them very very well indeed enchanters sayed chainset if the summit goes well in singapore that he may invite kim jong un to the white house i mean what would make for a good summit for the americans what are the expectations. well it's not clear we know from the secretary of state and from earlier comments from trump that they wanted complete denuclearization they wanted north korea to give up its nuclear program here in singapore of course and more recently president trump
12:02 am
has said very different things he said this could be the start of a. process a series of meetings this could just be a get to know you session well north korea's want of one of those with the u.s. president for many many years and it appears they're getting one in singapore without having to make any concessions so very interesting to see water emerges from this historic meeting and that meeting follows straight away from the from the g seven one encounter the president is leaving the g. seven early leaving the bit about climate change and the environment skipping that and coming straight here thank you very much for that james spader diplomatic editor live for us in singapore there at base on the road on twitter if you want to find out more about what's happening in singapore james will be tweeting of course throughout the next few days high anticipation about the kim trump summit in singapore if you get a chance read this opinion piece by jay berkshire miller who's the director of the council on international policy he believes that if trump leaves the summit without
12:03 am
a firm path towards denuclearization then his gamble will be a failure some interesting thoughts can read that on our web site once again at al-jazeera dot com. i mean while russian president vladimir putin is on a state visit to china where the upcoming summit is prominent on the agenda during she's president xi russia and china have improved economic military and political corp to counter u.s. influence france three has a report from beijing. a friendship medal for russian president vladimir putin awarded for what china says is putin's outstanding contribution to china's development it's a sign of ever closer ties between the two men and the two countries both announced several business deals including a joint investment fund in projects in china and russia the closer relationship comes at a time when tensions with the u.s. have increased both the russians and chinese have been sidelined from tuesday's
12:04 am
planned summit between trump and kim jong il despite that both are keen to show they retain influence over north korea. and i see. we've talked about the korean peninsula issue russia and china both want to see the korean peninsula and north east and asia enjoy the peace we are happy to see that the current negotiation process between the d.p. r. k. and the u.s. is in the framework of the roadmap initiated by russia and china in recent communications pyongyang confirmed to us it will carry out constructive corporation in the denuclearization. a closer lion's benefits both russia and china russia's accused of meddling in trumps election and faces sanctions for annexing crimea. chinese and american negotiators are trying to avoid a trade war and china has been criticized and challenged by the u.s. for its increasingly aggressive moves in staking territorial claims in the south
12:05 am
china sea. the meeting between china and russia the wrong displays of friendship between she and putin are in the words of the russian president in the spirit of overarching strategic partnership a partnership between countries that the u.s. calls economic rivals the agreement signed on friday go a long way in strengthening that partnership lawrence lee al-jazeera beijing. and the world news an israeli forces have again used live fire against protesters gathered along gaza's barrier fence for friday protests the last protest in fact of the holy month of ramadan more than three hundred eighty five people have been injured in the past few hours five of them who are said to be in critical condition according to palestinian medical sources at least one hundred eighteen palestinians have been killed by israel since the start of the protests in march that speak to our imaan khan who's live for us now near where those protests are happening at the gaza israel border tell us about what's been happening in these last few hours in
12:06 am
iran and other protests as big as if been in the past few fridays. they've certainly been big in size they're actually coming to an end now as people are leaving but you can still see in the background the black smoke from the top is that the palestinians burning and then sporadically what we're hearing is live fire coming in from israeli positions on the other side of the buffer zone we're also saying to gas come in other take this coming in through two different ways via jeep where it's been thrown into the crowd and then by take us drones now actually about three hours ago the palestinians managed to tangle one of those drawings up in the carts that they're flying in to see the kites that these cars becoming a very big problem for these rallies firstly they get in the way of the drawings they used to take us to those palestinian protesters also you can see one of those is a light if they can get them across the border what's happening is they dropping those
12:07 am
what they call spike bombs onto israeli farmland which is causing the flow problems all these really from his policy and say with this what the israelis are doing to us and have been doing since the siege began eleven years ago so if we can find a way of getting back then we will not see what they're doing with those cards coming back down now to take another look at what's going on there. this is a crowd that was very large in number but still dissipating their comparable protest committee have told protesters not to go towards the buffer zone because they want to try and avoid casualties that has happened there been no fatalities so far and the reason they want to avoid fatalities is because they fear they fear that people will start coming to these protests if they think they're going to die . thank you for that imran khan live for us at the gaza israel border now there's been more controversy over the death of a palestinian nurse who was killed last week during the protest at the border israeli officials have been criticized for claiming that the nurse
12:08 am
a palestinian medic was acting as a human shield for hamas a social media producer is here to explain more sour yeah well this was the first. shot and she was an israeli jew sorry shot by an israeli sniper and killed in fines while she attended to injured protesters in gaza and now an interview with a twenty one year old has actually surfaced on twitter and it's been edited by israeli officials which have taken it out of context and his version. then mr president and i when i looked at the dumb has to check it out but. so that was the video is shared by the israeli military spokesperson who also treated in arabic this tweet just ten of the three says rosen was not an angel of
12:09 am
mercy as hamas propaganda is trying to present she recognized that she was a human shields the troublemakers which proves that hamas exploits all segments of the gazan community in favor of its goal and wrongs bought social media users were quick to point out that the jurors were cut off midsentence and so taken out of context and this is what she really said now when i looked at the mass to check it out but cheri was licking my lips about hope at the time i asked. now many say that here is part of a broader israeli strategy to discredit palestinians killed by israeli forces including her son who has three to in a coordinated social media campaign israel is now trying to write retroactively justifying the will so talk to the spokes person for the year mediterranean human rights monitor and this is what she told us last year. so it's important to keep in
12:10 am
mind when we're looking at tactics used against humanitarian aid workers such as rousing but also against journalists protesting civilians human rights activists is that these are not isolated events these are typically part of a greater strategy which many many nations have used during conflicts before and which we've seen israel used before and that is to use the threat of terrorism and the excuse of national peace and security to get around some of the most basic human rights that are allotted to civilians and are a lot of journalists and humanitarian aid workers so it's important to remember that this is never excusable it's never acceptable well we'd like to hear from it so you can write to me directly on twitter. and the hashtag that we're using as a day news grant sorry thank you very much for that let's speak some more about this not to name hosey co-founder of the electronic intifada he's via skype from chicago in the u.s. thank you very much for being with us on the news great so what is the purpose
12:11 am
really of doing this when we've heard from these really military for days that they were actually investigating and that the killing of this palestinian medic may have been unintentional why change the narrative all of a sudden. well it's typical of israel to speak to different audiences in different language so for the so-called international community and governments they say oh well we're investigating and it was unintentional of course as many human rights groups have said israel's investigations are always a sham then then not independent it's israeli army investigating itself but those investigations are important to israel in an attempt to shield it from the scrutiny of the international criminal court on the other hand you have a social media or popular meetest media strategy which is really based on demonizing and dehumanizing palestinians you know even people who are just the un
12:12 am
arguably innocent so whether it is for example rosen and the judge who in that video is saying that she is there to save injured people something no serious person can contest is what he was doing it's been well documented and even if it were true what that video clip the way that israel is distorted that said. is that an admission that israel was deliberately targeting her so this is an effort to retroactively smear her dehumanize her and justify a killing i remember when they they also killed a joe the latest attack right at the beginning of the marches they claimed falsely the israeli defense minister claimed that he had been flying drones over the israeli soldiers in a socially spying on them and so these allies and that's what they are you know in
12:13 am
this era where allowed to say that the president of the united states is lying we should be clear that the israelis are lying right is lies and met the smear and dehumanised proudest indians say that they're all terrorist and they all deserve death do these tactics by the israelis do you think they have an impact on the way people perceive these protests. they may have an impact on some but i think the big impact is really to get media to do stories like this where. on a national becomes a quote unquote controversial figure i think the israelis think they win when they moan managed to muddy the waters and to say there's a controversy about this right there really is no controversy if you look at the facts not just in the case of rosenberg in the case of more than one hundred twenty other people who are being killed by snipers israel has said clearly they targets is this a new beginning we know every full lance but they want to create in the popular
12:14 am
mind and idea that well these cases at best a murky and unclear right they're not that's very clear innocent people are being killed on purpose let me ask you about the bigger picture here for law for a while it seemed that everyone was condemning israel's actions against these palestinian protesters as the protests continue now is that changing i mean when the palestinian after groups shot some weapons into israel the rockets into israel a few weeks ago ten days ago or so the narrative seemed to be changing do you think you know who's it who's winning the public opinion battle right now if you if you you know you can only let me correct you that actually been very little condemnation of israel there's been condemnation from some human rights groups there has been no condemnation from the european union european governments individually have been very sheepish and have refused to condemn outright israel's actions the u.s.
12:15 am
of course has supported them fully canada has supported them so there has been very little condemnation from the so-called international community of course when hamas of weeks of restraint in fact months of restraint when they hadn't fired back at israel fired a volley of shots into israel to say look you can't just keep. arming and killing us without any response there was as usual very quick and rapid condemnation of prose but the fact is what hemis did. the other groups did was to send a message to israel that we don't want a war but if you continue to shoot and bomb there will be a war and what happened very quickly is that israel agreed to a cease fire and i think proving once again sadly israel only understands force as we've seen the focus from powers that is has been of this popular mobilization but israel doesn't care israel continues to kill people it will look
12:16 am
we have had all those people for years say where are the palestinian dandies if only palestinians in gaijin mass mobilization the world will listen well they are doing that and they're being shot down by the dozens and we see the e.u. and europe and governments and the us giving more support to israel that thank you very much for sharing your views with us. co-founder of the electronic intifada jerry joining us from chicago thank you very much for your time and a very interesting analysis of the media coverage of events in israel and palestine in this edition of the listening post a bulk of these really need the air about protests in gaza has echoed the official state narrative of south defense and sovereignty elsewhere in the region from turkey and iran to saudi arabia and qatar media coverage has reflected the significant geopolitical changes underway and interesting show watch it by clicking on the show stab at al-jazeera at dot com. it would be news great on al-jazeera if you're watching us on facebook clyde coming up by story about people who protested

12:22 am
vulnerable to harden criminals. speak to she have a tandy in washington d.c. she have so the chump administration's policies against these undocumented migrants clearly intensifying this prison there's a strain on the prison system right now resulting from the zero tolerance policy but is this sustainable well the prison unions say they haven't even really been given enough notice to prepare for the influx and as you say u.s. prisons and the tories flee brutal not to say that actually we immigration authorities detention facilities on brutal live in loads of lawsuits against ice immigration customs enforcement facilities over the last several years even under the obama administration and it was president obama who expanded the detention facilities he was there is the deporter in chief to rule but yes it's not new that migrants are being kept in federal prisons what is new is the scale sixteen hundred
12:23 am
for up to one hundred twenty days while immigration authorities trying to find somewhere else to put them but space is getting limited in part because of a policy announced in may that means that everyone found without the correct documentation will be detained and prosecuted by authorities and we're seeing a huge surgeon and workplace roundups for example people being detained on mass they have to be put somewhere now and be detained they won't be they would be caught and released to await their detention their deportation proceedings and this is also leading to that separation of children from their parents we've been hearing a lot about recently some six hundred since since may so i mean this is all about the detention part of the trump policy that the detaining and deporting everyone being caught and that's leading to a huge strain on resources here but is it working is it discouraging people to cross the border illegally. right so it seems that this the overarching philosophy of the trumpet ministration is deterrence not trying to make conditions so inhumane
12:24 am
cruel illegal according to the united nations that migrants don't don't make the journey in the first place there isn't any evidence of that is working in fact the number of detentions on the southern border border has risen over the last year it was fifty one thousand in april that was a rise of sixteen thousand from this time last year so it's not working but we should also remember this idea of to terence as immigration policy isn't anything new again it was president obama who instituted that sort of policy in twenty fourteen when there was a huge surge of migrants from central america many of them women and children fleeing violence much of that violence caused by u.s. foreign policy as we said obama u.s. foreign policy that's because of the attitude of the obama administration was all right let's lock up these families let's put them in family detention evolved expanded family detention not separating families but just detaining them to as a deterrent so this is nothing new from from the u.s. from the u.s. administration but the terrorists doesn't seem to work people desperate people will
12:25 am
travel ok thank you very much for that she has. a sense in washington d.c. . now she had mentioned that this is part of the trumpet mystery sions wider crackdown on undocumented migrants attorney general jeff sessions as move to prosecute anyone crossing the border illegally and this is a ready result in the separation of hundreds of migrant families with parents and their children often not knowing each other's whereabouts according to the u.s. department of health and human services some eleven thousand children have been sent to government shelters most of them unaccompanied minors even more concerning u.s. federal officials admitted at a senate hearing last april that they have lost track of nearly fifteen hundred migrant children placed in the care of adult sponsors across the country this is cause a groundswell of criticism experts and researchers say such shouldering could face lifelong trauma joining us now is jean atkinson who's executive director of the catholic legal immigration network they provide legal advice to immigrants and
12:26 am
she's vice kite from washington jeanne thank you so much for being with us so reports that dozens of mothers have been separated from their children being transferred to these federal detention centers just what impact is this having on families. mental health experts will tell you that the the impact of long term and short term anxiety trauma and stress to these children we are devastating a generation of children who are being told from their families there will be impacts on educational attainment physical harm and this is an inhumane and cruel policy that that is hurting individuals it's hurting these families and it's hurting our communities and our society at the top administration is pushing back against news reports that it's lost track of almost fifteen hundred immigrant children who came to the u.s. . unaccompanied minors is there
12:27 am
a link between the children whom the government hasn't been able to reach and the children we're hearing about not being separated from their parents at the border are we talking about the same group here. in a sense yes i mean we're polling large numbers of children away from their families and trying to find placements for them the the placements are supposed to be reporting back to the government and so some of these children may it may be that they're not having the families they're not reporting back as they should but what we also know is that you're talking about parents who don't know where their children are instances even where parents are being ordered deported or have been deported and their children are somewhere in the united states and they cannot find their own children and to be clear we're talking about children you know we're talking about toddlers up to teenagers and so the for the children who've been
12:28 am
placed in other families is there information about them is there the possibility perhaps of them being reunited later with the the biological families. there is the possibility there seems to be a lot of disorganization and a lack of. action between the health and human services which is in charge of these children and apartment of justice are their part and homeland security which is separating the children from their family members thank you so much for speaking to us jean jean atkinson is from the catholic legal immigration network she was via skype there from washington we appreciate your time now i want to point you to this accident investigation by our team at fault lines on the same topic dozens of immigrant teens in the u.s. have been unlawfully detained as part of the trump administration's war and gangs and correspondent attash deltora traveled to long island to meet some of the hidden victims out the crackdown exploring how in many cases unaccompanied minors have

12:35 am
also lost a staff member that was brutally killed in ties the security concern has come from the fact that we feel that we have lost the security guarantees that are the response ability of all the parties to this conflict which has prompted the i.c.r.c. to pull out seventy one of its small by staff and realty them to nearby djibouti where we have a support office for yemen very sadly its means that we have reduced in fact often are a life saving operations in yemen but this does not mean that we are leaving the yemeni people behind we relocated the staff this means that we have less capacity to operate but we are continuing to operate remotely from from djibouti where we have a support office what i want to make clear is that this reduction has started since the killing of our current economy who would. two months ago and it's ongoing now but we are not leaving the yemeni people behind but again we need more security

12:38 am
a businessman and he's also seen here telling investors they'll take over the whole of gone or off the deals are done and the second most powerful man in african football and a member of the fifa council is among other senior football figures courtown through this controversial god and journalist honest. in his documentary top sold when greed and corruption became the norm was handed over to authorities last month now and i keep. hasn't commented on the allegations as of yet but in the past hour fifa has actually sent this statement out banning him from all football related activity for a provisional period of ninety days but locals that anger but there have been no resignations so far. i don't see the you know what the president and i did the reason why and i think it should be given. by you was going to build on. you stuck to the front of the show you can look to six times total told this. to the
12:39 am
french it was done not just or it is an injustice and. you will become a politician. going down the side. of the country or you can say he's angry and many gone and i agree because now talking may tackling corruption a major part of his campaign and that's why people in ghana are feeling quite betrayed and some people have also show. adequately his response to the allegations a while ago. did you in fact what we call cut in pieces they took out some of the discussions and brought what suited the post so for me the tension this play is to commit miss you and to as processed public ridicule slam as drug i name into my letters look bad in their eyes all right thinking members of society so you're gonna hasn't qualified for the world cup in russia next week but the dissolving of the j.f.k. phrase one of the most successful teams in africa in scales and some say it could

it is from the group of seven nations are in crypt back for a two day summit with the u.s. looking increasingly isolated from its allies on a number of fronts u.s. president donald trump has just arrived the summit is expected to be overshadowed by a potential trade war after the u.s. slaps tariffs on steel imports trump also broke ranks with his allies by calling for an end to russia's expulsion from the g. seven meanwhile protesters are back on the streets of quebec city over one hundred kilometers away from the g. seven. thousands of police in riot gear have been deployed to prevent and the violence well let's go now live to john hendren who is in quebec city the welcome ceremony afaik with the leaders is happening around about now john it's going to be a frosty reception president trump though isn't. going to be some awkward handshakes there foley trouble has been tweeting aggressively criticizing canada
12:54 am
here criticizing justin trudeau of canada and the french prime minister emmanuel mccrone and because things are running just a bit late he's just arrived the welcoming ceremony hasn't happened yet there was a supposed to be a bilateral meeting between trump and mccrone that has been postponed because the schedule is somewhat to lay ups because president trump is delayed he has not been looking forward to this meeting any made that pretty clear in the white house said yesterday that he was going to be leaving the meeting early around ten thirty in the morning local time on saturday the meeting goes until five he has tweeted that if if there's no deal here well that's just fine with him in a manual mccrone said on just a day ago on thursday that. if there is a signing at the end of this there are always issues with just six signatories and . seven meaning not donald trump that's just fine with mckone and the whole issue
12:55 am
here of course is trade and trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum which affects all of the other g six members and many other nations are very upset about that so as trump walks in it's as if there's going to be an intervention all the other members have said that they want to change his mind on this issue he's been pretty clear he's not going to do that we'll see what happens in the next two days as if they atmosphere isn't ten sufi then threw in a comfortable saying how about bringing russia back into the fold how does that one down. here it sounds as if he just deliberately threw that little bombshell out there to disrupt things further and maybe to distract on the issue of trade that everybody is focused on but interestingly enough he's got one taker in the group of seven jews happy conti the new prime minister of italy who is pro russian has already called for dropping sanctions on russia says he'd be open to making at the g eight again adding russia back to the group but the rest of the group seems firmly opposed to that i would be very surprised if that proposal went anywhere
12:56 am
because donald trump likes to throw out these bombshells and sort of rattle people also to distract from the major issues but i don't think anything is going to take precedence over trade and this meeting will be very interesting to see if they're able to make a statement at the end of it with all seven people signing on it that says anything at all about trade many thanks john john hendren that life is in quebec city. meanwhile russian president vladimir putin has been holding talks with his chinese counterparts in beijing who said it was awarded a friendship medal by xi jinping who called the russian leader is best friend economic military and political cooperation between the two has improved during she's president say you can't say u.s. influence but i see you see two sort of russia and china both want peace in the. peace talks between the two koreas of moving towards the right direction to moscow
