the french and italian leaders are expected in paris after days of disagreement over migrant. oxfam raises the alarm over the alleged mistreatment of unaccompanied child migrants in the listening. life from day her also coming up in this program the battle for the data. to rally their supporters as the u.s. refuses an ever r.t. request for reconnaissance detail. the tariff tit for tat president trump is ready to impose billions of dollars of taxes china says it will retaliate.

the first prime minister is due in the french capital to meet the french president after the two sighs engage in what amounted to a war of words over rome's refusal to accept a migrant rescue ship paris had accused him of not being committed to accepting nine thousand migrants under twenty fifteen redistribution scheme the italian prime minister hit back criticizing france's position saying its approach to the migrant crisis was hypocritical meanwhile the aquarius as a ship carrying more than six hundred migrants or that she calls this route between the two countries is expected to to arrive in spain on sunday morning is on its way to valencia italy and mortar refused to let it dock at their ports aid workers say the long journeys proving a big challenge for these exhausted passengers who were picked up off the case of

libya. and a u.s. navy vessel involved with rescuing dozens of migrants off libya's coast is waiting to hear where they can be taken to the trenton rescued forty survivors after their boat capsized on tuesday a private rescue boat offered to take the refugees but so far italy has not assigned it to a safe harbor all right let's go live now to paris and talk to our correspondent there barbara. let's look at this meeting then between the two the french and the italian leaders it's going to be the first bilateral meeting outside of the g. seven isn't there and the spat between them only descended into insults didn't it but they seem to have pulled away from that. you know just at the last moment that's right martina. it looks like earlier in the week this might not happen this

long planned summit of course the governments of italy and france are very different by nature but now it's been overshadowed by the argument over taking in that ship the aquarius and then an unexpected war of words after italy had made it clear that the aquarius wouldn't be allowed to n.g.o.s charity rescue ship and after spain said that it would actually step in to help then france issued statements suggesting that italy had acted cynically and with a lack of responsibility that prompted italy's new interior minister matteo salvini the leader of the right wing likud party who are very anti immigration to demand an apology or he suggested this meeting should happen while there was a call from president emmanuel markov on wednesday evening to rome in which he didn't apologize but said that he had no intention of insulting it see italy or the italian people the actual facts of the matter shouldn't surprise anybody because

since last summer italy has been making it more difficult for n.g.o.s ships to arrive although it is still taking in hundreds of migrants just lease week for example in sicily over nine hundred from an italian coastal vessel arriving in sicily but they want to show that they are actually putting into practice what they promised in the elections and so they'll be plenty to talk about here when the two leaders do starts. just the war of words as you were saying dying down now and on the face of it the way they've backed away from this very unpleasant bad tempered exchange was to agree on the need for new message measures which need to be wide and inventiveness for the summit which is coming up at the end of the month and later on in the program we'll be hearing more about the the situation and germany. exactly writes my tale salvini when he got so angry this week said france

had been turning its back on its partners in it he specified that between january and may of this year france sent back ten thousand people opac over the border in two italy will france is entitle to do that because of this dublin agreement which says that. migrants and refugees. have to apply for asylum in the country the e.u. country in which they were first processed and of course that generally means either italy or greece which is proving such a burden on those countries which is leading to such tensions in places like southern italy and which has led to partly the election of the new italian government so at that summit as you were saying they will be looking at tinkering with the dublin agreement there have been the quotas agreed back in twenty fifteen at the height of the migrant flow and the italian government criticized france for

really taking in less than half of the number that it promised to take in from italy out of a total of twenty thousand but there's no appetite in france to take in many more people either the government here has got tougher in recent months so it really does need some kind of european wide action all right thank you for that nadeem lity barbour's our correspondent there in paris well now looking at the issue particularly in northern italy and it borders with frances is an area of particular tension between these two countries people from sudan eritrea and afghanistan they've been a riving at this border area for more than four years now particularly in the town of ventimiglia and that's where there's an awful lot of frustration as the tash are but now reports. the colorful northern italian town of twenty mia faces the mediterranean sea in recent years it's become a stopping point for migrants trying to cross into france just a few kilometers away many. the city say they're frustrated with the situation most

say france should share the burden instead of tightening its border and turning its back on its neighbor the miracle i think french should take some of the migrants because we have too many here invent a million italy take them all but france doesn't want that it's not fair europe and france have to do their part. these women say the romes recent decision to block a charity migrant risky boat sends a message to the european union that italians like them have had enough going to say thanks to solve any of the leg he's helping to reduce insecurity we don't know where to put all these people in the city center left mayor is cautious when talking about italy's new anti immigration government but he says there's no doubt that people are frustrated with europe and more the ability to represent it i can't complain about the way people have approached us and helped the migrant worker but it's a big weight to bear and people feel abandoned by our neighboring countries and europe is between the op. as patience runs out so does goodwill

this church was once a refuge for migrants but it was forced to shut two years ago the colombian praise that was serving in this parish decided to open up the church door for the margaret center any time now opt out thousand five hundred people sleeping here behind the church and inside the building but local residents became fed up and after bearing to pressure city officials decided to close it down. with the new government has decided it is italians first does of us helping got a ready feeling more pressure and they see less migrants coming. the people who come here are mainly refugees from sudan and eritrea this young man didn't wish to be identified but he described his terrifying crossing from libya is what i believe . many people lost their lives what i did as a way because they're struggling. people invented me i may not

be united in their approach to the crisis but nearly all agree on one thing the migration should be a european issue not just an italian one a new strategies are urgently needed to help those on the front line and protect those who are vulnerable natasha butler al jazeera and to mia italy are saying in this area between israeli and france an oxfam report says child refugees are being abused detained and then illegally sent back to italy by french border guards sixteen and a half thousand refugees and migrants pass through ventimiglia in the eight months to april a quarter of them were unaccompanied children there were complaints of abuse both physical and verbal and children detained overnight in cells without food water nor blankets oxfam says it's illegal and contrary to french and e.u. law ok to check a senior press officer at oxfam he says child migrants lack any form of protection

or rights invented million children have different rights to adults under the law no child migrant who wants to claim asylum in front should ever be pushed back to italy there is a procedure for sending children back to italy if they do not wish to claim asylum but that involves certain protections like a twenty four hour grace period or like having a guardian appointed and these procedures are simply not being followed instead from the accounts we hear repeatedly children are being sent back. almost automatically to to italy and being kept in cells abused and and also in some cases increasingly having their paperwork altered by french border police to make it appear that they're older we think it's important the french government immediately puts an end to these practices that at the french border which are illegal and immoral but we also think it's really important that european

governments come up with a better solution than the one we've got for sharing responsibility for refugees and migrants and when e.u. leaders meet in brussels on the twenty eighth of june it's really important that this is top of their agenda to to agree a better way forward. well immigration is causing a major rift in germany as well between chancellor angela merkel's party the christian democratic union and its varian sister party the christian social union the c.s.u. wants to refuse entry to people who've made asylum claims elsewhere in europe and that's something that mrs merkel rejects she wants time to push for an e.u. wide solution at the summit that we mentioned earlier taking place on the twenty eighth of this month. i personally believe that illegal migration is one of the great challenges that the european union is facing and that we should not act unilaterally that we should not act inconsistently and that we should not act at

the expense of third parties that we got some breaking news it is being reported by the afghan ministry of defense that the chief of the pakistani taliban has been killed in a u.s. drone strike. or was targeted in the strike on june the thirteenth in afghanistan's couldn't our province and of course under command his taliban carried out that. unsuccessful attempt to kill malala yousafzai back in two thousand and nine let's speak to our correspondent jennifer garcia's live in the afghan capital. it's interesting we're getting this information from the afghan ministry of defense jennifer. that's right that's the only source we have right now the spokesman for the defense ministry saying that mollifies lolo was killed in that airstrike late on wednesday night on the thirteenth of june the americans will only say that they did carry out an airstrike on the thirteenth of june thirteenth

of june against the leader of a known terrorist organization which of course t.t.p. was now in march the americans offered a five million dollars reward for any information leading to the whereabouts or capture of mullah fazlullah but of course the aft it is the afghan ministry of defense saying that it was killed it's so difficult in those areas it's a remote area by the border it's very mountainous and kumar province and we have seen before reports of people killed and it's very very difficult to confirm them because it's it's very difficult terrain it is contested terrain it is terrain that's on a contested border as well so right now it is just the afghan ministry of defense confirming the death of this t.t.p. leader that the leader of the pakistani taliban not only responsible for the attempt on. use of size life but also responsible for that terrible attack on a school in push show in pakistan in two thousand and fourteen that killed more than one hundred thirty two people most of them children and jennifer if indeed

this is the case that. has been taken out of play by u.s. drone strike what does it mean for the pakistan taliban. well that's going to be the big question he himself came into power when his sixth when his predecessor was killed in another u.s. drone strike will somebody else come up in his place who is killed alongside him where their commanders with him can this organization regroup we do know that the pakistanis were very unhappy with this organization because of that attack on the school they were under a lot of pressure anyway and as i said in march the americans had put a price on his head a five million dollars price tag on his head whether this group will be able to regroup without a leader whether they'll be able to go on i think that's what everyone's going to be watching and waiting to see so many times we've seen leaders killed and other leaders come up in their place i don't not exactly sure what the pakistani taliban will be able to do they are under a lot of pressure for girls live in kabul thank you. now the leader of yemen's who

three rebels is calling on his supporters to fight back against saudi and amorality supported government forces who are closing in on the port city of her data the un security council meanwhile which talked about the battle on thursday says the data should remain open for humanitarian deliveries laura burton manley reports. yemen's port city of her data was bustling with people buying food on thursday but this is also a city bracing for a heavy bombardment a lot of. people here have been really living in these unemployment you know data there are no jobs the person your works to earn his daily living there will be a big crisis if the fight and moved into the city and now with poverty and hunger and the war the residents will be victims people are dying from hunger the country will be destroyed. the coalition has captured a town south of the data as fierce fighting and as strikes pound the area the u.n.

security council has had to closed door meetings this week both concluding that the only solution to the crisis is a political and not a military one the u.s. ambassador says there are ships on standby to supply her data once the military operation and even our ships just see with ink. so we have right we have very we're very well organized and we are ready to. every assistance for. the council meet for further discussions on monday but many analysts agree that a basket of her data would not draw yemen's three year war closer to an end. supposing that there will be a successful sort of military takeover there are many questions remain what will happen to other parts of the country you know what will happen to who will run how they do or what will happen to you know the deep divides among among them

a nice i think that you know it's important to recognize that who sees as as a political actor as they were back in two thousand and thirteen fourteen. as saudi led coalition forces a military victory over the strategic port the formerly exiled president abu dragoman so hardy has arrived in the southern city of aden for the first time since february two thousand and seventeen to oversee the operations. but the un want the attack on how data could kill up to a quarter of a million people and shut down the main route for food and humanitarian aid to the rest of the country this would have a devastating impact on survival of a population already teetering on the brink of famine. in money out there are. lots more to come here at al-jazeera including celebrating while under siege palestinians in gaza mock the festival of the. all eyes are on russia as the world

a look at the top stories here it is his new prime minister is due to meet the french president m. paris after a war of words over a range refusal to accept a migrant rescue with more than six hundred people on board emanuel mccraw had called the move every sponsible and cynical. yemen's hooty rebel leader is calling on his supporters to fight back against saudi and amorality supported government forces who are closing in on the vital city of data the coalition has captured a town south of the city the u.n. says it should remain open for humanitarian supplies. afghanistan's ministry of defense says the chief of the pakistani taliban has been killed in a drone strike or was traveling with four other commanders when they were apparently targeted by a u.s.

drone strike on june the thirteenth in afghanistan's could now province. that china says it will respond quickly if the u.s. announces a new round of tariffs according to u.s. media ripples. could target about fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports the official announcement is expected on friday that one day after secretary of state might pompei and met the chinese president xi jinping in beijing mr trump has been trying to fulfill a campaign to pledge to clamp down on what he calls unfair trading practices. cloris louis has the latest from beijing the u.s. government hasn't officially announced these tariffs but we've known about them for weeks the government has said it will publish a list of affected items on the fifteenth of june but the tariffs expected to come into effect shortly after alternately the u.s. wants to reduce its trade deficit with china and it wants to give american

companies greater access to the chinese market the two countries have been holding talks to avoid a possible trade war and after three rounds of talks the chinese have agreed to increase their purchases of farm and energy products from the u.s. by as much as seventy billion dollars but if these tariffs go ahead that deal will be void and china has threatened further action. if the united states takes unilateral protectionist measures harming china's interests we will quickly react and take necessary steps to resolutely protect our fair legitimate rights if the tariffs and posed they could complicate the relationship between china and the u.s. at a time when the u.s. needs china's help in enforcing u.n. sanctions on north korea the trumpet ministration believes it was these tougher sanctions that played a part in forcing north korea to the negotiation table but some analysts also say because the talks between north korea and the u.s. were a success then trump now has

a little bit more leeway to be tougher on china with regards to trade because china is not going to want to derail the process for denuclearization on the korean peninsula because that is consistent with china's own security interests. and european union member countries have unanimously about a plan to impose their own tariffs on u.s. products a move will target goods were three point three billion dollars that is in response to the latest round of u.s. duties on seal and minium imports from the e.u. canada and mexico the measures are expected to come into effect in the next few weeks and the e.u. has also launched a complaint at the world trade organization against the us muslims around the world are celebrating to mark the end of the holy month of ramadan all all in indonesia many gathered him also across the country for each of prayers every year muslims observe ramadan by passing from dawn to dusk in egypt
