justice with an unforgiving hand. and i finally in iraq on al jazeera. this is al jazeera. and i'm rob matheson and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes these laws are the same that have been on the books for over a decade and the president is simply enforcing them the white house defends the practice of separating undocumented immigrants from their children. fears that fighting near yemen's port city of her data will cut food supplies for people already on the verge of starvation. or resigning when for the host country

in the opening match of the world cup russia beat saudi arabia five mil details coming up. the u.s. frees up a fraction of the money it's promised to syrian human rights group the white helmets. rallies are taking place across the u.s. against the trumpet ministrations separation of migrant children from families seeking asylum in the united states thousands of children have been forcibly removed from their parents and placed in detention facilities along the border with mexico many families say they were told their children were being taken to be washed and interviewed but did not know they would be separated last week the u.n. human rights office called on the administration to immediately end the policy. think of the stress of these children they take a baby away from a nursing mother they tell someone you're going to we're going to give the baby

a shower a bath and then they take the baby. home and car seat and drive them away this is not normal and fact it's barbaric and have to stop now what they're saying is well we'll find a way not to separate them one of their ways not to separate the children is not to let them even seek asylum which is a right that people have in the world to seek asylum so that's not a solution a solution is not to tear children from their parents don't get peace up here no don't stick a stick in your ear what is it that they don't get about how stupid and wrong this is because a court ruling and so this i do think ought to be addressed we believe it should be addressed in an immigration legislation so what's happening at the border in the separation of parents in their children is because of a court ruling that's why i think what it's like is necessary ok rob runnels is joining us now from los angeles attorney general jeff sessions has also been

defending this policy his comments have been causing some controversy haven't they . i'm sorry we seem to have lost the audio signal from roll there we'll try and get him back but meanwhile the republican party in the u.s. house of representatives has outlined its immigration bill to be considered next week it's going to prohibit the separation of undocumented children from the parents had u.s. borders it would also look to include a pathway to citizenship for the so-called dreamers those a young immigrants brought to the u.s. illegally as children and media reports say it'll also authorizes some twenty five billion dollars for the construction of a border wall we can now go back to roll brunell's joining us from los angeles is rob we couldn't hear you before hopefully we were going to back now so as i was saying attorney general jeff sessions has been defending this policy but his

comments have been controversial what's he been saying what more do we know yeah that's right rob we solved our technical difficulties here so even though this child separation policy that we've been talking about has been heavily criticized by the leaders of several big religious denominations in the united states the baptist church the catholic church among others secretary attorney general sessions today speaking about the no tolerance policy towards undocumented migrants cited the bible. verse from the new testament which basically says that people should obey established authorities because established authorities are. established by god that was then brought up at the white house briefing and got a stirring defense from sarah sanders the white house spokesperson. i'm not

aware of the attorney general's comments or what he would be referencing i can say that it is very biblical to enforce the law that is actually repeated a number of times throughout the bible however this is a whole bunch of if you let me i guess i'm not going to comment on attorney specific comments that i haven't seen on the whole not what i said and i know it's hard for you to understand even short sentences i guess but please don't take my words out of context but the separation of the legal family and families is the product of the same legal loopholes that democrats refused to close and these laws are the same that have been on the books for over a decade and the president is simply enforcing them robbers are mentioned before there are rallies being held across the us about this what do we know about the conditions where these children are being held. well we got more information about that today rob when. story emerged from south texas near the mexican border where

in a former a wal-mart superstore a sprawling building. one thousand five hundred approximately boys between the ages of ten and seventeen who have been separated from their families or crossed into the united states on a scored unaccompanied by any adults are being held it's a private facility it's people who visited there said it seemed to be quite crowded the private facility denies that it's a prison but they were not allowing reporters to talk to any of the kids there and they did not allow the reporters to take any video or photographs either the photographs and video that we have seen have been handed out to us by the u.s. government so it's not entirely clear what the conditions are there some children

it is said are suffering from trauma depression from being separated from their parents and are being treated for psychological illnesses and altogether the government says it has contracts with one hundred such facilities around the country and there are eleven thousand migrant children being held rob about those rallies that we've mentioned before i know one of them least has been happening in los angeles where you are once been happening there today. well the rally is over now rob but during the rally you could feel the outrage in the air people who are just furious about this particular issue the people who showed up here held signs saying that this is child abuse that responding to attorney general sessions that you know the bible does not permit this kind of treatment of children without getting into any religious debates year that was one of the themes and in general people were saying that the policy of of separating children of these

harsh rules which have been imposed on migrants and also the decision by the administration to deny application for asylum on the basis of gang violence are wrong many of these. current migrants are coming from countries in central america where gang violence is extreme the homicide rates are among the worst in the world they are fleeing from gang violence and many people here told me that to send them back home to salvador to what amala to honduras would be tantamount to a death sentence rob rob for now thank you very much indeed i want to bring in leone fresco he's a former deputy assistant attorney general of the department of justice he's joining us now from washington d.c. we appreciate your time so thank you very much i want to ask you about this republican party bill the on immigration that they're planning to have considered

next week is this going to put the party on a collision course with the trumpet ministration or will there be some sort of deal that can be worked out. well the trip administration actually favors both of these bills because they have all of the enforcement mechanisms that the trumpet ministration want and the only people that nominally benefit from this are the seven hundred thousand or so dreamers that are here in the united states without status who are the young people who came with through no fault of their own but not what the democrats want which is the entire eleven million people who are here without status and for that reason that's why the board majority of republicans and the president support both of these bills that are going to be voted on this week or next week but they're not going to have the support of any democrat in your opinion what are the alternatives to separating families who cross the border illegally this is the thing that's being lost in this debate there are many

alternatives to separating parents and children for about five percent of the cost you can use what's called electronic monitoring that will keep track of families together you can do it by cell phone or by watch or by ankle bracelet whatever it may be that has daily or our daily reporting requirements where you verify you are you know living in the location where you're supposed to be living and you're going to the hearings of the proceedings you need to be going to and if you violate that fine then we can put you in that tension but you don't need to start with a presumption of the tension secondly the united states can work with mexico and actually create family processing centers in mexico where people can make claims for refugee status and then you don't need to separate anybody because people with valid refugee claims can be brought into the united states and people who violate those claims are not valid would then not be brought into the united states given what you said given the fact that those with methods would be cost effective and

they would be just generally more effective in practical terms why do you think the trumpet ministration is not considering going down in those lines yet. i think they don't feel that their constituency their base want any sort of give and take or any sort of nuance in the policy they want to create the policy that's the the most zero tolerance on immigration and that doesn't build in a factor of compassion or practicality to it and so that's why you have what. john kelly called a very strict deterrent based policy we heard the speaker of the house paul ryan saying earlier on that he believed that the super super some sort of legislative changes made to this ruling how likely is that to happen do you think i think it will depend on what that change is i think the problem with the

speaker's change is he's saying let's keep families together but the way we're going to do that is to deny all of the claims that people can make for asylum and so what happens is the families that they in for maybe twenty four or forty eight hours and then removed immediately from the united states instead of what's happening now or at least people are allowed to make claims and so for some democrats they think that's just trading one of the most situation for another but if we have the types of solutions that we've talked about already with regard to electronic monitoring or with regard to refugee processing centers in mexico i think you could see some compromise there where the government might be given more authority on them for xmen but in exchange for a more compassionate way for dealing with actual refugees who have valid refugee claims in france who is a former deputy assistant attorney general and the department of justice we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed. the issue of immigration is causing a major split in germany between anger merkel's christian democrats and their

bavarian sister party the christian social union the c.s.u. wants to refuse entry to people who've already made asylum claims elsewhere in europe something that chancellor merkel rejects dominic cain has more from berlin the row over what to do with people who come to germany claiming refugee status who had already done so initially in the first e.u. country in which they made landfall has really blown up in the course of thursday the issue has been one that has dogged the the formation of a grand coalition government and now the prevarication allies of angela merkel the christian social union is putting its foot down its leader it's the minister federal interior minister says the horse is in a hole for who is affectively the leader of the party on a national level federally anyway has said he wants to go back to the conditions that prevailed in twenty fifteen before engler machall open the borders to people with that famous phrase version does germany can do it i'm going to merkel disagrees very considerably she says no there this should be no return to that

status immediately that it should be there should be some sort of compromise solution her partners the social democrats will they agree they do not want to see germany go back to those those scenes of the summer of twenty fifteen the point here is that the coalition that exists right now has a smallish majority if there were a real problem between the bavarian party and angela merkel's party that could spell real trouble but the point also to make is that it's as if the main parties have marched up to the edge of a precipice in the course of today looked over the side of the precipice and the actually let's stand back from that the next step here will be what the leadership of the c.s.u. decides and we'll know that in munich on monday. a ship with hundreds of refugees rescued off the coast of libya over the weekend is expected to arrive in spain on sunday morning the aquarius has six hundred twenty nine refugees on board it headed to spain after italy and malta refused to let the ship dock at their ports however

in response in the exams. it's amazing given the world so we. were disappointed. i was not expect that i could win today but not try and zero this too much. i don't know i think our team wasn't in the day to day. i hope next game because of the flowing. now from gay rights to political prisoners when russia faces criticism when it comes to human rights so when the biggest football party in the world comes to town it's a chance for campaigners to use the global attention to highlight their causes more and challenge reports from moscow. the world cup is the best football party the planet has to offer but in russia not everyone is celebrating this is british gay rights campaigner peter tatchell detained in moscow while protesting against

supplying them with shoes citing american sanctions but even if nike wanted to run eons to stop wearing them they're still just doing it anyways this is sports this is football there is nothing to do with politics and that's quite something quite irrelevant the sanctions whatever it's not going to come into the field of sports you can see iranian people are wearing nike and maybe it's a kind of popular brand but i guess many people have a second thought about it because this is not really fair and this is not fair play win or lose he said iran's participation of the world cup for a second time in a row is already a great feat and at home in a country where women still aren't allowed to attend a football games in public stadiums there are signs of progress this is a call out to iranian women for a star search style competition to find the country's next female football

attempts to prove the f.b.i. is corrupt and out to destroy us president donald trump comedy hall that has the story. it was a bombshell announcement during a heated presidential contest we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information former f.b.i. director james comey concluded in july twenty sixth team that u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton did nothing wrong which she used a private e-mail server well secretary of state this is the biggest political scandal since watergate as a candidate us president donald trump still use those conclusions to bash his opponent arguing she was corrupt. and after he became president he took it a step further saying called he himself was corrupt trump says he fired his f.b.i. director for his handling of

a separate investigation into allegations the president's campaign colluded with the russian government now a new report by the department of justice inspector general says the komi team made errors while investigating clinton for weeks the president has suggested the findings will vindicate him and his decision to fire colby and prove the f.b.i. is out to get him. in it the justice department argues some of ploys showed a clear bias against the campaign one employed peter struck even texting he'd like to stop trump the conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire investigation the i.g. report causes a great deal of concern and i think points out the political bias that the president's been talking about but the report also concludes we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations including political bias directly affected the specific investigative decisions the current

f.b.i. director argues the employees named in the report have been removed from any investigation involving the president and may face disciplinary action nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole or the f.b.i. as an institution calmly reacting to the report calling it reasonable even if he disagrees with some of its findings and as the russian investigation continues the president may now use this report as proof of why the probe should end kimberly helped get al-jazeera at the white house saying the united states a newspaper is being accused of censorship after it killed off a series of political cartoons and far the artist editorial cartoonist of all brothers had drawn for the pittsburgh post gazette for twenty five years he says he was fired after the paper's new supervising editor rejected nineteen of his cartoons on his work his satirize some of the u.s. is most divisive social issues such as starbucks racial sensitivity training

program and the n.f.l. as policy over political protests well rob rogers is joining us now by skype from pittsburgh pennsylvania thank you very much indeed for being with us here on al-jazeera what was your reaction when you found out that you'd been fired. well. it wasn't good but i yeah i didn't i wasn't totally surprised i could see it coming just because of all the cartoons that had killed and because of some of the you know of some of the difficulties i had had earlier in the previous months you've been there for twenty five years what was it that you think tipped the balance and made them decide to get rid of you you know i mean you have to ask the publisher what the final thing was but i did notice that over the last couple of years there had been a shift to the right and. the paper had always been traditionally

a liberal paper and the publisher was also a trump fan so he began to push back on my trunk cartoons and eventually it led to the week that we had so took us through if you would some of the types of cartoons that you had been drawing. well i've drawn you know a number of cartoons about a number of subjects and. when you look back at the ones that were sort of targeted by the publisher they were usually cartoons about trump and you know i didn't think they were they were at all outrageous or you know indecent they were good cartoons you want you did you want me to describe one individual who are looking at one here rob that appears to show it's a caution sign with two people running it looks like a man and woman running away and what appears to be an image of the outline of a double trump like figure let me put it like that seizing

a child what's that what's the idea behind that so that is a sort of a famous sign that they host at the borders. of the united states that just so that motorists will know that there might be families you know immigrant families crossing roads and so sort of like a warning like they have sometimes for animals that are crossing the road and and so i just added the image of trump sort of taking the child because he's now separating mothers from their children at the border another one and he's really going to forgive me for interrupting sorry another one that we do have pictures of is about the new n.f.l. penalties talk us through what was going through your mind when you were doing that this is a three panel cartoon. right well so so when i heard the news about the n.f.l. saying that all of the players were were now going to be on the field and nobody was going to be kneeling i think i thought that that was sort of an injustice and i used the referee as sort of a symbol for the new penalties that would be happening and and the last penalty is

if you cause too many you know angry truck truck tweets you know you get a penalty and i think that was the part of the cartoon that they ended up not liking because they killed it in another couple a way that just briefly we've got one about. these stormy daniels control over say and also of course the miller the robin miller investigation as well i think we have some pictures of those two again this is predominantly centered around the trunk administration yes it is yeah and i thought that the story daniels one was was actually a pretty mild way of doing it you know and it was still it was still objectionable to them and i didn't really understand i never got i never quite got to a reasonable explanation as to why they killed it and and the mother won same thing so what kind of response if you had from readers to the fact that you've been fired

. it's been overwhelming i mean this is been happening for about two weeks since they first killed all six of those cartoons in a row and there's been an outcry among the readers and among the public and they've been very supportive of me and they've been condemning the paper and it's been remarkable and so everybody was sort of waiting in the same way that i was to find out what was going to happen it was a bit of a standoff and when they found out i was fired you know everybody is very upset about it and they've they've been letting people know so yeah the outpouring has been very touching and overwhelming to me and and it feels it feels good for that reason but. it's going to be fire editorial cartoonist rob rogers joining us from pittsburgh and pennsylvania we appreciate your time thank you very much. thank you the trump administration has released over six and a half million dollars in aid for organizations in syria including the white

helmets rescue group but as rosalind jordan explains it's a fraction of what washington initially promised. on thursday the trumpet ministration announced that it would be dispersing six point six million dollars to the syrian white helmets those are the volunteers who have been trying to provide emergency medical care to the people caught in the cross-fire of the little seven year old syrian civil war this money is going to be just first legally to accounts that the white house can access so that they can buy emergency medical equipment and supplies however this is a far cry from the two hundred million dollars which the u.s. had pledged to provide to emergency relief groups earlier this year just before he was fired as secretary of state rex tillerson made the two hundred million dollar pledge any funding conference for the syrian people however the trumpet

ministration shortly thereafter said that as part of its strategy to not be as involved in syria as it has been in the past that it was going to freeze that two hundred million dollars pledge the six point six million announced on thursday is less than three percent of that figure on thursday as it happens the u.n. special envoy for syria stefan dema stora indicated that he would soon be meeting with officials from a number of countries including the us in order to talk about the way to try to resolve the civil war through peace talks he did not however talk about the emergency funding going to the white helmets but one point that demo store did make to reporters in geneva on thursday is that he's not optimistic that a peaceful solution can be found quickly but that he said that after four years of being in the job he feels a compulsion to try to make peace possible for the syrian people the u.s.

secretary of state says sanctions against north korea will not be lifted until it's completely denuclearized. maicon pale is on a diplomatic to a briefing north korea's neighbors on the singapore summit between donald trump and kim jong un but pompei those comments appear to contradict north korea's view that the process would be phased in and reciprocal as florence louis reports from beijing they could also differ from china. the last stop on u.s. secretary of state my prom payors asian tour following the summit in singapore is here in beijing he met chinese president xi jinping where he told him how important it was for him and u.s. president donald trump that from peo is here to spur snarly speak to him about what had been achieved in singapore as well as what the parties hope to achieve in the weeks and months ahead so this is visit to china underscoring china's role and how the u.s. sees china playing a role when it comes to denuclearization of the korean peninsula but my copay is

visit to beijing is likely also to highlight and address in the important issue and that is the issue of sanctions the chinese foreign ministry had said two days ago and this is just a couple of hours after the meeting between trump and kim took place that perhaps it was time to consider the sanctions we need for north korea because the sanctions are written in such a way that they may be adjusted depending on how north korea implements our polls the u.n. resolutions take a listen to how differently the two men on said the same question on sanctions and china's role in enforcing those sanctions china has reaffirmed its commitment to honoring the u.n. security council resolutions. those have mechanisms for relief contained in them and we agreed that at the appropriate time that those would be considered. but we have made very clear that the sanctions and the economic relief that north korea will receive only happen after the fall denuclearization the complete

denuclearization of north korea not to ship but on the whole what china's position has always been that we are firmly committed to denuclearize ation as to how it will proceed that will be worked out through more detailed consultations going forward and china stands ready to play its constructive role in that process. the chinese foreign minister is on said there a lot more nuanced a lot less direct china. it's a key role in enforcing sanctions against north korea ninety percent of north korea's trade is with china and china also happens to be the main point where north koreans want to access the international financial system but both countries acknowledge that what happened what took place in finger port is the first step towards denuclearization on the korean peninsula european union member countries have unanimously backed up plan to impose import duties on u.s. products the move will target goods were three point three billion dollars it's in
