children can be taken care of with your family and. the democrats can come to us and they can change the whole border security we need a war we need border security we got to get rid of catch and release. they control the white house the house the senate the congress and they set out to do if they care that they don't care. or joining us now on the news great is michelle director of migrant rights and

justice at the women's refugee commission she's from washington d.c. michelle thank you so much for being with us you know we heard earlier from a rescuer in spain who was telling us about the way they process the migrants who arrive and she said the most important thing was not to split families and this is clearly not what been happening in the u.s. you've just returned i understand from an immigration detention center in macau in texas tell us michel about what you saw and what you heard while you with a. well it's exactly the opposite of what you just heard from that humanitarian worker in regards to the focus here in the united states by this administration has been to separate families and to separate as many families as they can and what i observed at the border on thursday and friday were families being processed they're separated immediately upon entering the border patrol station and then children are

sent off to shelters but in the meantime they're held in a processing center which is entirely inappropriate for children they're literally being held in cages in a giant warehouse separate from their parents and in many cases their parents are shipped off to court while the children remain there with no care really i mean there's no supervision there is no toys there's no recreation they're just sitting alone crying or are talking to each other in a fenced in their areas within a warehouse kind of more about these children that you've seen michel where have they come from how old are they and you know when they're separated from their parents what sort of physical and psychological condition are they and once that happens it must be pretty brutal. it really it's trick pony there's no explanation given to parents or children about what is happening i was actually witnessed one separation while i was interviewing a father and his nine year old daughter as we were completing the interview they

knocked on the door and came and said that they had to take the girl and literally gave them no explanation for why or where she was going i managed to give them to get them a few moments together before the separation but then the guard came took the girl and she just walked away and that was it they were separated. as i talked to the official doing the separation and asked him if he could explain to them why they were being separated he said to me i'm not separating the ma'am i'm just taking her to a shelter so there's really this attitude of denial by individual officers they're just doing their job is the position they take and in the facility where the children are being held separately i mean i suppose very young children i spoke to children who were five years old. several of them all grouped together in one of these caged in areas and we even identified a child who the authorities had listed as

a two year old who was being cared for literally by other teenage girls who were being held in the same caged in area they were being asked by this little child to have helped changing her diaper getting her bottles no officials were caring for her and once we inquired into the situation we discovered that they actually had her name wrong and that she was actually four years old and was just not speaking from the trauma that is absolutely incredible michelle you know my grandson assigned him seek as we know are particularly vulnerable to human rights abuses the u.n. high commissioner for refugees last week said that the practice of separating families is a serious violation of the rights of children regardless of best advice in a country whether they're regular or regular migraines they have human rights these people so what sort of recourse do they have when their rights are being violated in a country like the united states. well of course they have the right to seek asylum

and we're very concerned that that right is being intercepted and not not being given to them in these circumstances there is a lawsuit that has been filed by the a.c.l.u. in the united states that focuses on the separation of the children and makes a constitutional claim that prote proper procedures are not being followed we are expecting a decision from the judge on that case any day now we really hope that it comes out this week and that it will prevent the further separation of these families michel thank you so very much for taking the time to speak to us and sherry experience with us michelle brown a director of the organization migrants rights and justice joining us there from washington d.c. we appreciate your time thank you you thank. as you heard almost two thousand children have been separated from their parents so a legal guardians of the us mexico border since the trumpet ministrations zero tolerance integration policy came into effect if you get a chance watch the walls of shame series on our website it's about division and the

a need for trust courage and hope signing the final agreement for the names of strategic importance for the two countries and you can move mountains they signed the agreement now delegations are over to the other side of the border for a working lunch this is just really the ferry first step of a process that's likely to take months and months. for nationalists the deal is nothing more than a betrayal on the greek side of the border four thousand protesters angered at the agreement fought with police it seems know about to reassurance about cooperation and unity will change their minds. both prime ministers hope the deal will be the beginning of closer relations among balkan countries and will eventually allow macedonia to join the european union and nato. vision that people in northern macedonia have is to one day have a passport and to feel like european citizens it is very important to them.

with the rebels and the right wing candidates even duke a one the initial round of voting has pushed a tough stance on law and order through heavy of policing and has vowed to deliver economic stability he's up against petro the first leftist candidate to make it to a second round of voting the former get real it turned politician has vowed to tackle inequality reduce reliance on carbon fuels and break the long run of right wing lead is andy gallagher is covering this election for us joins us now live from colombia's capital bogota the polls open just two hours ago you are of voting center there i believe how's it going so far. well following let's just set the scene here were in place a ball of our in the middle of a bottle and i'm surrounded by the corridors of power the supreme court is just off to one side congress and city hall right next to them behind me is one of more than eleven thousand polling stations that have opened across the country and it's

important to remember in the first presidential runoff last month the turnout was very high but what we do have here is a divided electorate as you were saying about the two candidates they're both offering very different visions for this country's future let's start with a van do kate a forty one year old relatively unknown person hand-picked by former president someone who says he will restore law and order someone who says he is pro-business and will reduce taxes on businesses and the second candidate gustavo petro only left his candidate in this country's history to make it this far he someone is running on the campaign of tackling inequality tackling the status quo of right wing politics but here's the essential thing that separates both candidates and that's their approach to those peace accords with a sign in two thousand and sixteen that ended five decades of violence do kay is a critic he says that the guerrillas got the red carpet rolled out and they need to face justice on the other hand you've got pedro saying he would continue with that peace process as it is written down that's very important to

a lot of colombian people especially those who have lost loved ones in execute dish all killings and want truth and justice so that is one of the main issues really here dividing the electorate but all polls indicate that even duke a relative unknown and someone who would be the youngest president this country's ever seen is in the lead and i thank you for that and he got to go live for us in bogota colombia thank you and for more on what's at stake in colombia's runoff vote read this opinion piece on al-jazeera dot com economists catherine agree a way to bond says colombia's next president must be able to secure the currently uncertain future of the peace process while civil tenure creates in the necessary economic conditions for sustained and redistribute its growth interesting farsi read them on al-jazeera dot com. from the election in colombia to the vote in turkey and it's the final weekend of campaigning there ahead of the parliamentary and presidential votes next week rival rallies by president are the wants act party

and the age d.p. opposition which draws support mainly from the kurds are taking place in istanbul this sunday live to see an end who's covering the rallies forests see them tell us about the mood where you offer is your it and act on the really i believe how enthusiastic are people about this election. yes fully present out as on the stage right now and speaking just right behind right behind us and thousands of people are here they gathered to see the president are down to listen what he's going to say a stumble is a very important city terms of elections not only because it's a financial hobbit a cultural hub but it has twenty million population and there are at least ten million the voters in istanbul and presidents are dawn's began his early political career here from the very bottom and he climbed up that state those stairs and now

he became the president and he even ran the city as the mayor for three years in the late ninety's now he is i am asking for the votes of istanbul citizens and when he took the stage here there are some that stumble is his love stumble is his friend and his everything so this actually shows what a politician or real story stumble also in. a way to talk about is some of it has a way of determination because if there is internal migration you have many people from other cities of turkey living in istanbul so an election result and a stumble it's like a picture of the election result in turkey right so our guard pushes more to get home roll. from the samples of his assassin and briefing the opposition party is also holding its rally today not too far from way you are what will be the decisive

factor as people go to vote next week. the how many people in turkey go to the polls they they go to the ballot box especially this is this is a tradition like it there is a participation level of eighty eight percent for instance last year so i can say that turks see it as a responsibility of being a citizen so there especially the fourth this election people will go to the ballot box people cancel their whole the days because they want to forge because this election is going to change the whole political system of turkey a foot for now prison donna's running the concrete he's a he has a governmental the crissy has all the power but after this election if president act on and his party wins the majority everything is going to be different and i have us admit that some of the people are kind of offended that the president our job because up until two thousand and twelve all part of the ruling party has had

a success story although. it could all make prosperity a developments grows and also the peace process which was at agreement with the output could sell workers' party and the government to lay down their arms but now everything is kind of rolled over everything is different and kurds are actually the most offended segments of the turkish so sorry to special to present our thoughts because he said the peace process is being frozen right now ok so this is challenging because also the kurdish moves are the determinants of the results in the election polling thank you simonson proceeding lifelessly stumble where the final campaign rallies ahead of next week's elections are being held and always you need to know about the june twenty fourth vote in turkey on this special interactive page at al-jazeera dot com how will the role of the presidency change the current breakdown the parliament and the main candidates of course all the

security forces and civilians celebrating aid no one has claimed responsibility for the blast but it follows saturday's car bomb attack in one graph province which has been planed by are still fighters. the attack comes as the taliban refused to extend a temporary ceasefire there were hopes of more permanent peace could be established after the government said it would unilaterally extend the truce beyond the end of the muslim festival of either cape clark is a director of the afghanistan analysts network despite the resumption support resumption of violence faeces the ceasefire could be an indicator of better times ahead in the country. it was unprecedented it was remarkable and i think it was better than any one of hopeful though there was some worry that the ceasefire wouldn't hold it was a mutual cease fire for three days by both afghan and taliban and actually american forces for three days it held but i think this these scenes of

of afghans both taliban and government soldiers and civilians embracing each other celebrating it tries to get at playing cricket eating ice cream as you say that pictures of taliban giving government soldiers roses this was unprecedented and i think only wholly unexpected except that i think for many of us we've felt that there there is a deep yearning for peace among afghans but civilians and foot soldiers and if this could be harnessed you could see the beginning of a peace process not hopefully this is this is what we are seeing at the moment the israeli military says it's warplanes have struck a vehicle in gaza of was. being used to prepare incendiary kites and balloons before being flown into israel the tactic has seen palestinians flying kites carrying incendiary devices across the gaza israel border on saturday the makeshift

protests began two months ago after a decision by president daniel ortega to cut pensions ortega's critics say the former revolutionary leader is running a corrupt government protesters want him to step down and the government to implement democratic reforms the opposition really won't be happy with anything less than a premature departure from the presidency. human rights groups say at least one hundred seventy mostly young people have been killed since mid april in confrontations between heavily armed soldiers and demonstrators on with rocks and slingshots. protesters are calling on ortega's government to end the violence which the president. blames them for now to taters and drug cartels the latest violence flared hours after troops had been signed between the government and civic groups right now there's no or external institution no internal.

money they earn helps their families survive many children work at home making the paper cheap switches sent to the factory to be filled with tobacco they get around forty cents for every three thousand chooks the average wage is around a dollar a day fifteen year old was some of the sheets a call to works with her younger brothers and sisters making babies four days a week. but unlike many others in the industry she also goes to school you guys go read the law we work to help our family this is how we survive my parents taught me this line of work at a very young age i don't like doing it you have to sit in the same position and work long hours we don't even make that much money. according to the bangladesh label the minimum legal age for employment is fourteen united nations children's agency unicef says in force mode is difficult because of where most of the children work in small factories workshops from home will be global. people

this should be a different choice of jobs for these people other than the tobacco industry there are at least two million people working nationwide in this sector this should be alternative employment opportunities provided by government for all these workers then we ourselves have been willing to shut down the sector. funded issues finance minister has repeatedly called for the beauty factories about one hundred twenty of them to be closed down. a recent study by the human rights organization praga focused on nine factories it found around fifteen thousand of the twenty one thousand workers with children some as young as four years old child stratford al-jazeera in the united states women are being encouraged to put pen to paper and write a rather hopes for the future a pop up on exhibit in washington d.c. seeks to build on momentum from the global women's march last year highlighting

lead. the cars. we headed to jerusalem bureau covered israeli palestinian affairs we cover this story with a lot of internet malo to recover includes that we don't dip in and out of the stories we have presence here all the time apart from being a cameraman it's also very important to be a journalist to know the story very well before going into the field covering the

united nations and all of the onus for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks went to air matters. let's get the latest from the world cup now with peter and defending champions germany in a bit of trouble peter foley that's one way to put it mexico one miller headed home i don't know you saw that coming outside of the country of mexico the games continue to come thick and fast in russia i'll tell you a little bit more about the germans that makes that comes in a second but the day's action kicked off with surprise twenty four team quarter finalist costa rica against serbia turned out to be

a one mil victory for the serbs they are up and running in russia meanwhile germany coach york i'm nervous looking to win back to back titles no team has done that since one nine hundred sixty two and as we said the germans are on the field right now against mexico and it is the mexicans who are one nil to the good later today the five time world champions brazil will take to the field switzerland or the first opponents believe it or not the swiss all ranked sixth in the world that by. the germans and mexicans are in group a for a smile takes a look for us now at those two teams as well as they have the company in the group stage. defending champions germany headline group was sweden mexico and south korea germany are the second most successful team in world cup history if you include their time as west germany they won the trophy for time since one nine hundred fifty four mexico has only been absent twice since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight they reached the quarter finals but also hold the record for

most second round eliminations sweden have appeared at eleven world cup since making their debut in one thousand nine hundred thirty four their best performance came in one thousand nine hundred fifty eight when they hosted the tournaments they reached the finals but ran into a seventeen year old pele and brazil were crushed five to korea have appeared in nine previous world cup finals they first played in one nine hundred fifty four their best performance came in two thousand and two when they co-hosted with japan south koreans reached the semifinals. sports correspondent is in moscow and joins us now live from the russian capital lee good to have you with us again right now in germany in mexico or on the field the germans always contained is and the mexicans have a problem with accepting in the first knockout round how likely is that train to continue in russia. well let's say what germany are

capable of producing in the second half because costa maya back four years ago and the german saying that while not well what is everybody talk about they always talk understandably about the seven one freshly of brazil which was deserved but absolutely annihilated brazil but people forget what happened with the total in germany was that great they really were in the group stages there were even matches in which they struggled all the time against god our member gets united states and that chile gee we should have put germany out and then the i germany went through won the tournament now mexico would be brilliant in the first half much better than germany that the german midfield looks are slow but you can't write them off you want them off so quickly if i told you now that germany would come back when you've got all four they probably won't but there's no doubt that as we stand here now mexico be the product same by phone it's a little bit more about mexico just for a second you know they've got this problem with getting through the group stage and

then they lose it in the second round in the first knockout stage do you think the bet is something that they can actually change this time around. where there will be a psychological barrier sometimes these things that i've applied in football there i've applied in sport supposedly women are going out and doing their job that they're not overthinking things they just want to try to win a game of football but i do think if mexico come through the group stage when they get the round of sixteen match having lost every time for six world cups it is going to be an issue for them also they don't probably have the quality to go. very date and it's a woman but i won't be worrying about that now because it was the start of my design and i scored it was a relief to people who want. to do well because mexico just hadn't been chanting that they are playing germany but when they were getting close to the go they just seem to not be able to get a shot say well in the end when they did get one i made it count and we'll see if i can hold on to it now indeed we shall know in the late match five time champions

brazil take on switzerland there's a feeling that the brazilians are back to the base again after a few disappointing years but what are you expecting to see from them tonight. you know much better saying the four years ago won't by i mean that it was some fortunate timing that brazil has the world cup in the had of the west visiting same in my lifetime and this time they do actually have a really good chance like possibly the best team in the tournament i do think a lot of it revolves around where the name always property fit probably much fair whether he stays fit i think if he does he will bring great things to the tournament i think there's so much talk about messi and now die when their rivalry sometimes you can forget about my moments and you actually see him walk out onto the pitch when he does invariably seems to deliver he was excellent in the tournament in brazil before he got injured and of course in the olympics and he's

on country as well and i think the other thing about this brazil it's a man like that last tournament is that you have threats we could say no looks really really sharp at the moment that they've got a really strong take in this time i do think it's fair enough to consider them favorites and i would probably have so much for switzerland i mainly just quickly in thirty seconds costa rica serbia the only game today one will win for the syrians but if you are safe. i think so people look really good i thought i was really good on the team sheet i got a lot of quality through that but they had to go up against that same that was the sensation of the last world cup costa rica color of that left it's been so good throughout his career what is that off like for him i will put this said he certainly did it was absolutely perfect in serbia after a very good starting to be quite dangerous but probably qualify for not great the winnings in moscow a pleasure as always thank you so much. ok let's take

land at last clearly happy to be here. special care for pregnant women mothers their toddlers and others most vulnerable these migrants and refugees were forced to spend we can see european union leaders squabble over migration policy and show ships are just doing their work. in the benz humanitarian organization saving lives is not a crime or not of course of this situation we're also not the solution what we are at the end this is a symptom of a failing of the european governments relief workers say many migrants landing in spain were tortured in libyan detention centers or may have been traded a six years. after health check from medical workers migrants disembarked to be registered by police in assessed the start of a months long process while their accounts are scrutinised and the government

about three hours you can see this polling station here in a ball of our behind me is fairly busy but this is as you said a divided electorate being offered two very different visions for this country's future on the one hand we have the political of noni band duke a someone who is pro-business. and more importantly is a critic of those peace accords signed in two thousand and sixteen which ended decades of conflict on the other hand we have this petro i personally is well known in colombia in politics and former governor himself let's take a look at a profile of petro the policies he stands tall and the challenges he'll face. through his camp to the imagination of colombia's young voters his stance on tackling inequality reducing reliance on carbon fuels and ending the status quo of right wing politics appeals to a new generation even. if. it's time to end two hundred years of the same families governing us this is the chance for free citizenship and equality for all

i think is the only candidate that has a long term vision for our country when it comes to fighting climate change and creating a modern liberal democracy. no stranger to politics is a former member of the nineteen rebel group four years ago he became the mayor of one of the most powerful political positions in the country his tenure was marred by controversy critics say. pratik style was abrasive a supporter of the historic peace accords with the rebels this intellect of the left has emerged as a real contender whatever happens gustavo petro has the distinction of being the most successful leftist candidate in this country's history he does however face some stiff opposition particularly from those in the business community say a petro presidency could lead to economic ruin. oh when we meet mario hernandez at his factory in bogota he's enthusiastically handing out caps emblazoned with the

name of petros opponent. and mendez is one of the biggest manufacturers in colombia like many in the business community he's concerned that petros policies are antibusiness. i don't know what he hears against the productive class he wants to take land from to be gone and give a small plot of land to farmers that's not how you run the country you have to generate employment doxies and consumption. to winnow through needs the support of undecided voters like artist gabrielle or sanchez she's leaning towards the fifty eight year old and tells us she's feeling pressure to decide i've seen it in this social media. so all the time said if you vote for. people like this. and a lot of hate. for decades colombia's fought against leftist guerrillas now one is a leading presidential candidate with a chance of shaping this country's future. as important

joe know that this electro runoff and the one before in may have been among the safest in this country's history according to the latest official polls that we've seen in poland close a few days ago. is the favorite but either way by sunday evening colombians will have a clear idea of what their futures hold. ago together following the twists and turns of colombia's election thanks andy. greece and macedonia have signed a deal to rename macedonia north macedonia the agreement is supposed to end a decades long dispute but the day was marred by violence so on you're going to go reports from lake where the signing ceremony took place. an embrace twenty seven years in the making the prime ministers of greece and macedonia resolving

their country's differences not just a name also in deed then on the morning when we are not gathered here today to mourn the defeats of the past we are taking a historic step so that from now on it will only be winners. it was an unprecedented show optimism but both leaders acknowledged the difficulty of their achievement we're going to let me also see the us there is a need for trust courage and hope signing the final agreement for the name is of strategic importance for the two countries and you can move mountains they signed the agreement now but delegations are over to the other side of the border for a working lunch this is just really the fairy first step of a process that's likely to take months and months. for nationalists the deal is nothing more than a betrayal on the greek side of the border four thousand protesters angered at the agreement fought with police it seems know about to reassurance about cooperation

and unity will change their minds. both prime ministers hope the deal will be the beginning of closer relations among balkan countries and will eventually allow macedonia to join the european union and nato. vision that people in northern macedonia have is to one day have a passport and to feel like european citizens it is very important to them. to the floor that happens both parliaments have to ratify the deal and macedonians are due to hold a referendum in september to officially change their country's name to the republic of north macedonia that and other challenges still to be faced before this long dispute is finally over. our jazeera set out this northern greece. at least thirty one people have died in twin suicide blasts in northeast nigeria the bombs went off in the town of dumbo in borno state and local officials suspect

a grave mistake by allowing taliban fighters to enter areas under government control. well kate is director of the afghanistan network she spoke to us earlier about the significance of the temporary ceasefire. it was unprecedented it was remarkable and i think it was better than anyone had hoped for though there was some worry that the ceasefire wouldn't hold it was a mutual cease fire for three days by both afghan and taliban and actually american forces for three days it held but i think this it these scenes of afghans both taliban and government soldiers and civilians embracing each other celebrating prayers to get better at playing cricket eating ice cream as you say that the pictures of tell of are giving government soldiers roses this is unprecedented.
