8:03 am
hundred seventy eight people have been killed during two months of unrest and independent investigation into the deaths has given the go ahead but the opposing sides remain unable to find a solution to political divisions in monaghan has more. mediators from the catholic church were brought in to try and break the deadlock there's been some progress nicaragua's government and opposition activists agreed to an international investigation into months of political violence. the government will invite international organs the un the e.u. the general secretary of the organization of american states to accompany a scene the strengthening of the peace talks. it's been welcomed by the opposition the government of using paramilitaries against protesters. assuming we know that there is intimidation and we know that there are some movements that have been active in someone's apologies and that intimidation those groups of police those groups of civilians using weapons of war don't create an environment of peace.
8:04 am
gangs of armed men room the streets of managua they warned residents to stay indoors where their lives would be in danger activists blame the gangs for a spate of attacks and killings over the last two months the man who filmed this video says he saw men taking down anti-government barricades and that they traveled with a police escort the government denies any connection to the armed groups but the opposition says the violence is a sign of desperation by president daniel ortega and more mean the moment when he can no longer resort to the violence that he exerts through the police and paramilitary gangs when he can no longer resort to the violence that will be his and. at least one hundred seventy people have died since the protests began in april or take his efforts to introduce welfare cuts prompted the bloodiest confrontation since the civil war ended in one thousand nine hundred ninety. the plan was dropped but the protests continue under heavy security the two sides are
8:05 am
still talking the opposition is also making concessions removing rope blocks which the government said were damaging the economy but big questions remain the protesters want to take it to stand down to demand the government is likened to an attempted coup mediators urging early elections but so far there's been no response into monohan al-jazeera. hickam is a latin america political analyst who joins us now from washington d.c. and we appreciate your time are you surprised that this attempts. at a truce was so brief. no not particularly surprised going to be very difficult to find an agreement the sides are immensely far apart and they. have little trust in each other it's going to be very difficult so. this gap what what or who can bridge this gap.
8:06 am
very difficult both sides will have to make compromises or they don't want to make the ortega government has now been in power for almost a dozen years very sophisticated very skilled political actor it's made now a few mistakes that. and. he doesn't want to give up power in fact it's all set to pass on to his wife perhaps the next time around she's now the vice president. the opposition really won't be happy with anything less than a premature departure from the presidency of ortega and that that gap is is absolutely enormous and. right now there's no or external institution no internal. real leadership that can
8:07 am
bring about a change here you're describing a situation that seems almost certain to get worse is that is that a correct assumption. well you know these things are very hard to predict. it's pretty bad now it could deteriorate each side you know believes in its own. the rightness of its own cause both are willing to commit violence the government is certainly ready to use force and violence up until actually killing people. and there's really very little leadership among the opposition until now in fact much of the opposition was willing to go along with the ortega government while there was seemed to be some relative social peace and the economy was doing ok
8:08 am
now they find themselves in a situation where. they've sort of moved against the government but really you know i've been so close to the government over so many years that it's really a very difficult complex situation and i don't think it's going to be easily resolved i think you're going to see many more marches and unfortunately more killings all right her head and joining us from washington d.c. thank you. colombian said to the polls on sunday to choose their next president in a runoff vote the two candidates offer a different vision in the future of the peace accord with the revolutionary forces of colombia or fark that hangs in the balance gallagher joins us live from the tasso andy there are two very different candidates facing each other tell us what the main differences are. yet two very different candidates as you said reflecting
8:09 am
a very divided electorate here on the one hand you have. a relative unknown in colombian politics picked by former president really who has a controversial human rights record he's someone that stands for law and order someone who is seen as a pro-business candidate and also someone perhaps more importantly who is a critic of those peace accords with the fark guerillas he's saying that there was a basically had the red carpet rolled out for them and their victims haven't seen justice on the other side of the political spectrum you have gustavo petro no stranger to political colombian politics a former governor himself he is seen as someone who wants to tackle inequality reduce this country's reliance on carbon fuels and bring a quality across the entire country but let's take a closer look at the man in the lead in the polls at the moment do carry to see what his policies are and the challenges he may face. in colombia memories are a precious commodity especially in
8:10 am
a nation where thousands of been killed by the colombian military deaths referred to as extra dudish all executions the military use those deaths to falsely claim they've killed more guerrillas jacqueline chrystia lost her brother ten years ago it is demeaned when what they see is sadly we can say there is a sense of indifference in society to the plight of the victims we need people to stand up and say we can't let this happen again we need to end it for good but instead people often don't seem to care. the deaths of innocent civilians are just one of the issues they will face if i'm elected at forty one. and he's a fresh face in colombian politics untested and handpicked by former president alberto. review has been accused of human rights abuses but remains popular among right wing voters could exclude u.k. will be little more of a former president with a questionable past those in the business community welcome his economic policies keep things that we need to keep growing we need to insert ourselves of economic
8:11 am
international economic that works and we need to bring more money to the country and more progress economically turks. the biggest fear among voters though is do kay's plans for the peace accords with the falk rebels the historic agreement signed in two thousand and sixteen ended decades of conflict but is a critic. running on the campaign slogan war hard but it's what he may do with the peace accords which many here are concerned some say the agreements up entirely other cities more likely to modify it but for the thousands of families that have lost loved ones educate victory could mean they won't get the odd justice they so desperately seek commons or gomez lost one son to an extrajudicial killing or other was murdered when he tried to find out what happened she tells us the possibility of a duke a presidency makes her angry and will see no justice he says no truth colombia's voters remain deeply divided on sunday they'll find out who the new president is
8:12 am
and what the future might look like. so and he has this really turned into another referendum on the way for voters to have a say almost to reflect their views on this again. it really has the peace accords with the fog rebels or something close to many people's hearts here but it's how they view how those peace accords were rolled out there really concerns a lot of people you've got to do kay saying look we roll the red carpet out for these rebels but where's the justice for the victims on the other hand. they're always saying this is a peace accord that needs to carry on but it goes beyond concerns about the peace accords this is also about how colombians see their future many people are afraid of the government in the future going too far to the left the same thing but the too far on the right they want to see a more moderate government one analyst we spoke to a couple days ago thinks that is what will happen but what concerns many people are not these candidates themselves but the people they are surrounding themselves with
8:13 am
at the moment are about to do kate is ahead in the last official polls it is expected by most people that he will win but in colombian politics anything could happen all right andy gallagher live for us and others i thank you andy seventeen people have been killed in the venezuelan capital caracas after a tear gas canister was set off in a nightclub from a student graduation party interior minister says the device went off during a fight and that triggered a stampede eight people were arrested over this including two teenagers accused of detonating that canister egypt has increased fuel prices by as much as fifty percent as part of all stare at the measures as well as the rising cost of petrol and cooking gas people will pay higher taxi fares starting sunday it's the third time the government has increased fuel prices since austerity measures were announced in two thousand and fifteen and just an analyst political analyst that is months or says the increases could spark unrest. egypt at the moment is like
8:14 am
a pressure. cooker. eight something will happen the question is when and how. and the government seems to be pretty oblivious to that and they keep continuing with those policies that are adding massive. pressure is on the middle and lower class. still head on al-jazeera student activists in the us travel from coast to coast to rally for greater and gun control following a number of high profile shootings with the palestinians still fighting to remain in their homes ten years after an israeli court transferred their land to the jewish trust in france it's over the line to be australia will have the best of saturday's walk of action coming up in sport.

connected to gangs such as m.s. thirteen as a ministration has adopted a zero tolerance policy to immigrants crossing the border illegally one of his policies is separating children from parents and it has been heavily criticized castro has more from washington d.c. facing mounting criticism over his new policy of separating children from their parents who are caught crossing the border illegally president donald trump sought to offer another justification for his so-called zero tolerance policy saturday the president says this policy which aims to criminally prosecute every adult caught crossing the border without authorization is a deterrent for keeping central american gay members out of the united states just weeks ago an illegal thirteen gang member was arrested for allegedly murdering a man and burning his body the gang member reportedly edgard our

country through glaring loopholes for unaccompanied alien minors. the democrats allow those loopholes to be there they could change him so easily but they don't want to do that for strictly political reasons democrats say the immigration system needs to be fixed but taking children away from their parents is not part of the answer the trump administration separated nearly two thousand children from their parents in the first six weeks of the zero tolerance policy the kids are being held in privately run detention centers like this one in california this is video shot and released by the government reporters were allowed to briefly tour the facility but were banned from taking pictures or speaking with the children. crum is a professor of law at santa clara university and joins us via skype from santa
8:21 am
clara which is in california and we appreciate your time so this particular issue has been fraught with a lot of misinformation sometimes outright blatant lies as well let's just get and a lot of just and correct terminology so let's just get a couple of things straight if an emigrant comes across the border to come into the united states if they are apprehended by a border agent or are they treated differently as opposed to if they present themselves to a border agent seeking asylum it is one illegal as opposed to not the other. well illegal entry on authorized entry technically can be charged as a misdemeanor on the other hand it is lawful and with it is within our laws for people to come and present asylum claims at the border in when they do they are entitled to under our laws we're hearing as to whether they in fact are eligible for asylum united states ok and then waiting for that process or. what rights do
8:22 am
they have once they come across the border. certainly the border region is one where there's a lot of content station over how much of the constitution actually applies there but the fact is our already congressional laws provide them with certain types of process they have the ability to as i said make the claim that they are running from a situation from which they need asylum in the united states they will have the opportunity to make that claim in front of first an immigration officer and if successful in at least convincing them that they have somewhat of a case then they get the opportunity to have a full fledged hearing in front of an immigration judge to decide whether in fact asylum should be granted or should not be granted and during that time the united states is bound by its own laws as well as other types of international treaties to make sure that the are not mistreated while in that situation and i think that this
8:23 am
bears repeating when you talk about the laws and donald trump and members of the administration of put for tried to put forth that this is a law that that's why the separation is happening this is not a law this is in no way a law to something that hit it's a policy from his it ministration it and previous administrations have never actually crossed this line and done this why do you think that is. well i think what you said definitely bears emphasis this is a choice this is a draconian choice an inhumane choice in my opinion by this administration one they do not have it will make one that is not compelled right or laws at all and as you point out two prior administrations faced with similar types of choices knew that it was the wrong thing to do that it was the un-american thing to do is the unethical thing to do what has been clear in this administration with this president is that he is more than willing to use the lives in livelihood and family stakes of people united states as political gambit or whatever policies wants to
8:24 am
pass he did the same thing with regards to dhaka recipients deferred action recipients holding them hostage to try and get his political ends with regards to immigration passed through congress and he's doing the same thing now it is it is certainly it's using children in families as hostages in a political game john kelly the chief of staff for donald trump said back in may to n.p.r. as is they are beginning to kind of roll out this practice he said a big name of the game is to terrorists the children will be taken care of put into foster care or work or whatever that that's a quote but the big point is they elected to come illegally into the night sky the states and this is a technique that no one helps will be used extensively for or for a very long time he said himself that this is about to terrorists do you think that that's actually going to be effective. i think anybody who believes that this will in fact deter unlawful migration is either ill informed or is attempting to put
8:25 am
one over on the general public no one with any serious study of b.s.u. will tell you that this form of enforcement is going to have any systemic effect on unlawful migration the fact is unlawful migration to the united states is caused by a number of complex factors including the historic relationship between the united states and mexico in countries south of mexico the fact that the united states legal immigration system does not provide any law the enough lawful ways through people to get in that matches actual need in the united states and demand to get into the united states and of course the civil and violent strife and economic strife in countries from which people are running those are systemic back tears that one draconian immigration policy at the border is not going to stop there's actually one case that's already making its way through the courts the a.c.l.u. is actually suing the government on behalf of a woman from congo when she crossed the border into california shot her seven year
8:26 am
old daughter what there she turned herself and she she deliberately came across the border and presented herself as seeking asylum and her daughter was taken away from her and sent two thousand miles away so the a.c.l.u. is suing the government on her behalf it is there are legal basis for what for what the a.c.l.u. is doing as are any any chance of a case like that succeeding. you know i think one of this is one of those situations where if you know is there some specific statute that says specifically you cannot do that or if is there a constitutional provision that says specifically you cannot do that no there isn't but i think that anyone with any serious study of how our laws are constructed or simply the ideas underlying our constitution ideas of due process of fairness and equity proportionality would tell you that that is simply not just on lawful but unethical as well and so i think that any a judge that hears this hopefully will understand the equities of
8:27 am
a case like that will understand that there are some fundamental principles that even if not specifically articulated govern and restrict governmental behavior and certainly taking a child from their parent and keeping them two thousand miles away i don't think we need specific loss to tell us that that is wrong professor thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it very much thank you. so now activists in the us are traveling from coast to coast rallying support for more comprehensive gun control measures all in a series of deadly school shootings they hope to persuade people to vote for politicians who back gun control and of members midterm elections rob and also reports. who are months after seventeen of their classmates and teachers were gunned down the activists students of marjorie stoneman douglas high school are on the road. seeking support for gun control measures and showing solidarity

says prove his claim but since twenty fifteen he and his family have been living under the threat of eviction pleasure. we were shocked we had lived here i was born here grew up here and married here me my brothers and my kids we're all here the whole family is here a jewish trust claims ownership of the neighborhood citing a deal struck in the late nineteenth century providing homes here for yemeni jews in two thousand and two the justice ministry rewarded the land to that trust now controlled by a process from an organization that buys and builds homes in occupied east jerusalem now palestinians with homes here have petitioned the high court the state's attorney in the case admitting procedural failings in the way the land was transferred the residents argument is that the ottoman era law which is being used in the attempt to a victim has been misinterpreted that it should have implied ownership only over the buildings that were once lived in by jewish occupants here not ownership of the land it still remains and they point out that in
8:32 am
a separate dispute over land elsewhere in east jerusalem the government ruled that land ownership was not conferred by the law judging in that case that a muslim trust shouldn't be awarded the rights to it or get it locks our problem is that we oppose the jewish claims that this area is a jewish and even the court has issued a verdict against the arabs the right wing jewish organization involved a terror at khar name declined our request for an interview on the court case but it is generally happy to promote its work increasing the jewish presence in east jerusalem so here he has placed security cameras around his home for evidence of his own in case of disputes with the settler neighbors the larger dispute over the ownership of this law. and will be decided in israel's high court powerful sit out zero occupied east jerusalem rover now in the glasgow school of art and scotland has been destroyed by fire for the second time and for years thirty five million dollars for the restoration more from the first fire was nearly finished on
