we should say the weather quieting down faced in parts of the u.s. over the next couple of days after a recent tornado which hit pennsylvania of course the usual kind of damage just went down as he asked who want to live the storm nasty conditions he or she can see and it did cause some problems some power outages and of course a fair bit of disruption in the process damaging winds here now the process of pulling away all of the weather will make its way into the northern plains just spinning out of central canada a little bit of wet weather to just around the central plains as well and notice them increasing cloud just spilling into that southwestern corner this is what remains of tropical storm but so some useful rain the last getting into the desert southwest it's been about three months since parts of arizona have seen a drop of rainfall further north of the some wet weather making its way over the mountain states that we go with the showers long spells of rain easing towards the midwest similar pictures recall one. through sunday and north of the border that

4:03 am
happens we are there before there while it happens and we say we do have a permit for this and a lot of places are stuck. in the back ground being on is very important it's about syria it's about lebanon it's about the power struggle between iran and saudi arabia it's all there and that's the challenge. welcome back to the top stories here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has announced a twenty five percent on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods that brings the world's two biggest economies one step closer to the brink of
4:04 am
a trade war china's hit back by with its own towers of twenty five percent on u.s. troops. u.s. judge just sent donald trump's former campaign manager to jail prosecutors say for much of forethought to interfere with witnesses connected to the investigation of russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election and a tweet president trump called the decision tough and unfair and the leaders of france and italy have met in paris and the diplomats. expanse over the fate of refugees who try to and to europe both insist that the e.u. is migration policy needs to be overhauled. the white house says donald trump's support a proposed immigration law that he rejected the backtrack comes as protesters stage demonstrations across the u.s. against the administration's policy of separating migrant children from their families thousands of children have been forcibly removed from their parents and placed in privately run detention facilities well the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has defended the trumpet ministrations hard approach to immigration and hit out at demonstrators protesting the detention of minors away
4:05 am
from their parents it seems unbelievable but it's true that there is an open borders movement in the country from coast to coast there are politicians and activists who think having any border and oh it's any limit whatsoever any unforced of activity that's taken is mean spirited on an even big i just it was hard to castro joins us live now from washington d.c. heidi said jeff sessions defending trump's hard line on immigration there is that any movement in congress to address the issue. and so republicans who control congress are now working on two versions of an immigration bill that they hope to bring to a vote next week there's the moderate version and the hard liner and both of them do include the demands of the trump administration that would include funding for the proposed border wall as well as curbs to the number of legal immigrants who may
4:06 am
enter the country one of these versions of the bills would curb that by as much as fifty percent over the next ten years what the republicans who control congress are offering in return for democrats votes is to offer some form of legalization or a pathway toward citizenship for the dreamers those are the young immigrants who were brought to the country unauthorized as very young children and who president obama six years ago to this day offered work permits and a chance for them to go to college and to hold jobs legally in this country now democrats say this would still be a very bitter pill to swallow if they vote for either of these bills they would indeed help the dreamers but at the expense they say of the rest of the immigration system democratic votes though are needed for anything to pass so if this is again a quagmire that may continue for many days past the next week to who has the public
4:07 am
reacted to the separation of parents and children. well we just learned today from the trump administration that at least two thousand children have been taken from their parents at the u.s. mexican border since this zero tolerance policy began in mid april and that number of two thousand does not even accommodate the last few weeks and the trouble ministrations says they're doing this because it's a matter of deterring other families from attempting to make this crossing they say it's about enforcing the law to the letter but as you have seen from those images of protests across the country in large city the moral question of separating children some as young as infants from their parents and then putting those parents through the criminal system in the federal system being charged with the misfit misdemeanor crime of crossing the border illegally they say that that is
4:08 am
a big moral question and may not be worth the trouble ministration is trying to gain there in order to hide it or castro there in washington heidi thank you. well the issue of how to deal with refugees and migrants is basically acute in northern italy people from saddam that would try and afghanistan have been regular arriving near the border with france for years and that's increasingly frustrating residence as natasha but reports from ventimiglia. the colorful northern italian town of 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 in the city say they're frustrated with the situation most say france should share the burden instead of tightening its border turning its back on its neighbor to munich and i think french should take some of the migrants because we have too many here invented italy takes them all but france
4:09 am
doesn't want them it's not fair europe and france have to do their part. these women say the romes recent decision to block chair a. pretty migrant risky boat sends a message to the european union that italians like them have had enough going to say thanks to solving 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 more than. i can't complain about the way people have approached us and helped the migrants 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 up two years ago the colombian praise that was serving in this parish decided to open up the church course for the migrants and any time there were opt out thousand five hundred people sleeping here
4:10 am
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 those 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 it was very very serious when there was you know many people lost their lives what i did as a way of you know because if you're struggling or. how i make it you know. 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 its national butler al jazeera and to media italy.
