u.n. is called yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis the battle for data could make it even worse stephanie decker. here's president donald trump is claiming on twitter that the german leadership is losing domestic support of its pro immigration stance on the day chancellor angela merkel reached a compromise deal with her conservative coalition partner merkel's been given two weeks to reach a europe wide agreement on migrants at the upcoming summit earlier the christians. to leave the government. we are off the opinion the c.d.u. and c.s.u. has to try to better direct migration into our country and we. the number of people are driving in the country so that we do not have a situation like we had two thousand and sixteen. our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat is standing by in washington but first let's talk to dominic kane in berlin dominic angela merkel quite a day for tell us about the deal and where this leaves her immigration policies.
5:05 pm
what it is quite a day for her jane because in effect what she's managed to do to secure is a sort of sticking plaster over the open wound that many people thought that her government was experiencing over immigration in effect what she has is a stay of execution as it were time to try to build a coalition of european leaders who are prepared to entertain the ideas of border control of immigration measures that she wants to bring in across the continent or at least involving the countries where many refugees many migrants try to get to germany from her ally in this at least in terms of her government over wanted something totally different but he seems to of pakistan his party is back down so to resign going to america by allowing mr is a hole for to in some ways immediately say to people who come to germany claiming asylum but you have
5:06 pm
a travel ban attached to them they can now be told you can't come in you must go back as it were almost immediately so you have the sense that both sides have moved to a little bit but i'm going to machall still finds herself in the situation of having to find a lasting solution at the e.u. summit in a couple of weeks time ok dominic thank you and here's what president donald trump tweeted the people of germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous beilin coalition crime in germany is way up big mistake made all over europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture. white house correspondent kimberly halkett in washington d.c. accounted that didn't go down too well in germany but what made him feel that he could send a tweet to germany. well it's a series of tweets in fact we've received even more in the last few minutes almost half a dozen in the last couple of hours on the issue of immigration border security the
5:07 pm
president often responds on social media to things he's seen on the morning news shows and that's the timing that seems to coincide with this latest sort of flurry of tweets that we're seeing some of the latest change the laws it's the democrats fault for being weak and ineffective with border security and we don't want what is happening with immigration in europe to happen to us the president seems to be defending his hard line stance on immigration particularly when it comes to the u.s. border with mexico the southern border sensually this policy that is in place and has been in place for more than ten years but wasn't really in force under the previous two presidents but that now is being in force under donald trump and that is the policy of separating children from their parents when they immigrate to the united states illegally this is causing a lot of outrage in the united states seems to be growing not just with democrats but also members of the president's own republican party why is this happening now well we are approaching the midterm congressional elections in the fall this is
5:08 pm
a big campaign season and this is one area where democrats believe that they can get some traction potentially winning over control of congress but republicans are trying to push back saying look at this is not a new issue in fact this is an issue where well the president's trying to blame democrats really both parties are to blame for languishing on the issue of making and forstmann and laws that work to allow for legal immigration for almost two decades but this is becoming so toxic now jane that what we're seeing is even a battle of the current first lady in the former first lady laura bush has the former first lady president george w. bush's wife has penned a scathing editorial calling the policies of this administration. cruel inhumane the current first lady malani a trump for her part is defending it but not completely saying that really there need to be policies put in place but there needs to be
5:09 pm
a governing that occurs and she says it needs to be done quote with heart or kimberly thank you. turkish forces avenge the outskirts of the syrian city of man as part of an agreement with the us it is month the syrian kurdish peoples protection units known as the y p g said the minute she advises would leave town so if you had been infuriated by washington support for kurdish fighters across its border sin and cos you joins us live from istanbul tell us what's going on they said i'm. well jane this was a long deal actually a long diplomatic traffic between turkey and the united states and finally last week at the top military officials announced that they agreed on a deal on a road map over. and now that deal is waiting to be signed by the turkish and american foreign ministers and what's happened today is turkish
5:10 pm
turkish military personnel turkish troops are doing a joint patrol ng with the american troops in the outskirts of members mainly in sides of the river area and according to what i have learned from ancora is that one hundred ninety turkish troops are deployed over there and for no this is the beginning and according to the turkish foreign ministry turkish military will be entering inside a member as well according to what his that this is going to be a deal like turkey and you know it's a states has done over african and also a cease fire like turkey and russia iran has agreed over it. but on the other side members of military council members are saying that turkish army are not going to enter men bitch but what i have learned from is that it
5:11 pm
turkey will be deploying more troops by july five to member area for joint patrolling operations and according to this rule map to what turkey hopes is that turkey turkey say is it receives security threats from its southern border as mainly by the y. p.g. and the p.k. k. which both of them turkey sees as a terrorist organization in their own words so turkey wants. clear its borders from those threats identities and turkey insists that membership is an iraq dominated city it should be established and given back to its real owners as you would remember membership was first taken over by eisel and then by the y.p. decide this is turkey is that and turkey says y p t fighters should move to the if certain side of the euphrates river but of course now there is another question
5:12 pm
because there is some side of the euphrates river that area has six hundred kilometer border with turkey and according to the open sources there are at around seventy thousand why fiji fighters who can be cool might have links with the peak is certain to turkey now is a question whether turkey would be willing to go to do is sit inside of euphrates river as well this is a question analysts say that america wouldn't be willing to make a deal like they did over many bits if organized inside of the euphrates but for now it seems that the talks have a reflection on the field and both sides are happy about it. still ahead on al-jazeera we look at a program that helps gaza's disabled get back into sport. welcome

5:17 pm
maiden speech in twenty fourteen al hussein the first muslim to lead the human rights body targeted eisele he presided while abuses were being committed during the war in syria in yemen and the global refugee crisis. yet the jordanian had it time and opinions but little power he chose not to seek a second term because of frustration with what he called the ineffectiveness of the un security council. oh well hussein was often outspoken making bold statements after philippines president were dream go to turn ordered the killings of thousands of trucks suspects the president of the philippines needs to submit themselves to some sort of psychiatric evaluation then there was the expansion of illegal israeli settlements he raised it repeatedly as a human rights abuse and called for an investigation into the recent killings of palestinians in gaza making an enemy of the united states they voted north to win
5:18 pm
inquiry and may now quit the human rights body over perceived and he's really bias that. was in his final address al hussein undeterred switched his anger to a u.s. policy separating migrant children from their parents at the mexico border the thought that any state. would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable i call on the united states to immediately end the practice of forcible separation of these children al hussein has named and shamed governments and leaders from every continent including in his homeland you wouldn't it has been hard on my family and it has affected my relationship with the government of the country of my birth the country i had the
5:19 pm
honor of representing diplomatically for so many years i did makes me sad this is. more respected within these words the jordanian royal is returning to a strained relationship at home and leaving behind a world strained in many places charlotte dallas. someone i don't know as a military and security analyst he joins us from london very good to have you with us on al-jazeera i want to talk about yemen and that dire warning that stark warning from the outgoing human rights chief what sort of battle are we expecting in her data now that would be catastrophic but if the the call in the show. today this city i think the airport will take some time to do that it's one of the biggest battle by the way since salmon or its land sea and the u.s. for asian. if we take the order of battle for both sides who with the like
5:20 pm
think like three thousand the coalition a lot about thirty thousand or thirty five thousand or so with the air power supremacy they have of course they will do some progress. possibly the airport will fall shortly and coming few days yes because they tell you that they're always on the. yeah the news is not very clear what's happening inside but there is a lot of explosive mines and snipers around so it's going to take a couple of days to get the airport but to get into the city itself that's what would be i mean. i think this would be near the border war for street to street fighting. expected you want to port like to fifty thousand would be killed like four hundred thousand flee the city as for the hooty i think.
5:21 pm
possibly they might do a withdrawal towards the martin surrounding the city and from there it's going to be a very long war of attrition i could see a month old here and despite warnings if you are jumping in here for may it seems that the battle is going to go ahead anyway i mean there's no dialogue that's going to put a stop to the coalition forces are determined to push the hear things out we know that those who things are living in amongst people you are talking about the street battles i mean that's going to be one of the biggest problems isn't it. just absolutely and nobody is listening to the u.n. envoy special envoy and the coalition believe that they could bring the hooty down to the negotiation table and i don't think that's would happen because they used their campaign initially during the war and to force liberty coming to the table to
5:22 pm
negotiate their way and they failed and this this thing will happen again they want to bring you back to negotiation table is going to just has been broken hasn't it on both sides. yeah the coalition wants to break this stalemate what they call to bring the haughty back to her but i don't think that's what happened in the future the world will carry on we need more intervention but they could those who are free now is the starvation of these people what's going to happen like eight million people feminine could slip into the yemen. yemeni people do hooty of there will not give up the fight and they would carry on fighting that's the way i think they will do thank you for sharing your experience with us noah dozens of libyan activists and residents of the eastern city of have been arrested by forces loyal to the warlord believe or have to fight his
