7:00 am
weeks i think though for gustavo petro he can to a certain extent hold his head up high getting forty percent of the vote is unprecedented in this country no leftist candidate ever has got to this stage in the presidential elections and no leftist candidate certainly has got forty percent of the vote he will carry on as a senator he will take his own agenda into the senate but for now we have what looks like a pretty clear victory we're waiting for the council to call it officially but when you have gustavo petro saying that he will make a concession speech in less than two hours you can pretty much guarantee we know what's going to happen you know that the writing is on the wall perhaps that's interesting what you say about this other petro coming than any other leftist challenger in the country before him and then he will remain a senator. to make life difficult for decay i mean potentially he could but i think the majority will be with you k.
7:01 am
but i think it's very important for us to know that in this country a leftist candidate has never come this far especially with the agenda we had. billed to younger voters it was about tackling inequality reducing carbon emissions taking on climate change fighting for gay rights so among young voters in cuba certainly we spent a lot of the day yesterday with young voters who really wanted to see petro win but the early polls the official polls that closed a few days ago always had duke a with a fairly commanding lead so at the end of the day not a surprise that someone from the center right will run this country going forward because that's been the dominate dominating politics in this country for years but again that central question is about what he will do with those peace accords that the man who hand picked him alberto rebate forty against so staunchly that essentially added fifty years of conflict it also means that many people here lost loved ones to actually additional killings you know they're scared they won't get the answers and the truth they've been seeking for so long having lost loved ones
7:02 am
so it's really a big question to see what to do they will do with those peace accords what a modification to his mind actually means in real terms well thank you very much andy gallagher with all the latest from bogota where with most of the counted conservative candidates k. is heading to the tree and our other top story this hour more than six hundred refugees and migrants arrived in the spanish force of the week after italy in malta turned in the way the red cross has called on european union member states to follow spain's example and put into practice the humanitarian values promises i call panel has more from the land. on dry 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 the week at sea european union leaders squabble over migration policy and show ships are just doing
7:03 am
their work are saving lives as in the ben and humanitarian organization saving lives is not a crime or not a course of this situation are also not a 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 slaves after a health check from medical workers migrants disembarked to be registered by police and assessed it's the start of a months long process while the recounts are scrutinised and the government decides who will be allowed to stay as refugees it's unacceptable that the those ones we wish to protect. i don't understand what's going on here i mean imagine that you have to explain to people that they are safe now but the next steps are completely empty spain's incoming socialist government has welcomed the charity ship aquarius
7:04 am
and the two italian vessels but not all share that enthusiasm. hours before the ships docked and anti immigrant fringe party organized a portside protest they fear a migrant influx will change the spanish way of life. you know you're. in the next ten or fifteen years the majority of young people in this country will have a religion and culture different from our own we're faced with a problem of survival the arrival of the aquarius means safe haven for some but a political solution to the migration crisis remains remote so that people are. moved. traffickers and smugglers so it's about you know a human situation that needs to be manage in a human way for the latest arrivals the politics will have to wait for now a few minutes to play with new toys and celebrate their survival alpen whole

al-jazeera valencia spain politicians in the u.s. will debate new immigration policy in the coming days as the trump administration faces increasing criticism over its actions at its border with mexico more than two thousand children have been separated from their families the parents have been detained and charged with illegally entering the country like hanna reports from washington protests on the mexico u.s. border the target what the trumpet ministration calls a severe zero tolerance policy hundreds of children being held in bleak detention centers separated from parents who are facing charges of illegal immigration law enforcement officials struggle to keep up with the exact numbers six hundred are under the zero tolerance initiative out of those six hundred zero tolerance prosecutions one thousand one hundred seventy four children have been temporarily
7:06 am
separated as your dog goes through the judicial process. democrats like senator jeff merkley attempt to reveal the reality behind the statistics he's been refused access to several detention centers and on this father's day is leading a delegation of fellow democrats in a number to investigate conditions it's incredibly difficult for them to find out where their children are and to be able to talk to them so the reality is it's very hard for the parents to know where their kids are and be able to connect with a number of republicans to have raised concerns what the administration has decided to do is to separate children from their parents to try to send a message that if you cross the border with children your children are gonna be ripped away from you that's traumatizing to the children who are innocent victims and it is contrary to our values but trump supporters like steve bannon remain
7:07 am
unapologetic to zero tolerance it's a crime to come across illegally and showing a separate i mean i hate to say it that's that's the law and he's enforcing the law and other trump advisors have also confirmed the separation of children from parents is part of a conscious strategy an increasing number of republicans are deeply disturbed about what many perceive as a cold blooded and inhumane policy decision one that could have a major impact on the choice of voters in midterm elections later this year. a tough line on immigration may be welcomed by many supporters the question is how many would draw the line at the forcible separation of children from parents as part of a political strategy mike hanna al-jazeera washington. i just bring you a quick recap of the top stories this hour conservative evander k. has been elected president of colombia he took over fifty four percent of the vote
