a refugee holding facility won't be you look at what's happening in europe you look at what's happening in other places we can't allow that to happen to the united states not on my watch zero humanity and it makes zero sense the president's comments have provoked growing outrage among democrats and even members of his own republican party trumps admitted separating children from their parents is horrible but is trying to once again pressure congress into passing immigration reform laws it's been promising on monday he tweeted change the laws and later he blamed his democratic opponents for not reforming immigration legislation even though republicans currently control congress and he even pointed the finger at germany accusing it of failed immigration policy contributing to what he says is a high crime rate an example of what the united states does not want to become and until there are new laws in place or trans infamous border wall is funded the

country in accepting this compromise zero offer suggested it wasn't a complete solution. we do not yet have the whole issue of migration under control there have been some improvements but i cannot say that the issue is under control to the extent that i can tell the german people we have a system in place to control migration and guarantee legal certainty in line with the constitution we still have a lot of work to do here. this rare has placed historical allies in an unfamiliar position seemingly in a war of words and with some suggesting the fate of the coalition is at stake it is a serious crisis will happen it's just postponed for the next two weeks america now got her a compromise that she can work hard for the next two weeks to call and meet with leaders of other european countries to find a compromise on and crisis would your of a suffering from for the last three years merkel has stressed the need for

u.n. . we suffer from the aerial raids in the cruel aggression in the indiscriminate shelling that goes on twenty four seven this is let us to leave our areas we don't have food we don't have humanitarian support the organizations concerned do nothing for us we're sick i'm hurt and my body suffers a lot shuttle diplomacy by the u.n. special envoy to yemen and therefore stopped in a cease fire feel so far martin good if it's has been in the capital sanaa holding talks with the warring parties the united arab emirates which is part of the coalition against a host of fighters along with so did a pia says precautions are being taken to protect civilians and we are careful not to hit surrounding residential areas so as not to hurt the people there the current fight for the airport suits us for two reasons the first is it gives us an opportunity to advance and avoid as much as we can the civilians secondly it gives the international envoy a chance to have his say before leaving santa since the intervention of the

coalition to buck government forces three years ago at least ten thousand a year minutes of being killed tens of thousands injured and millions displaced the port of today the humble seventy percent of yemen simples including life saving. a big. often been shipped through the portal djibouti behind me but since the offensive began us tough say to shipments they sent to her they then this week up to be a ton of the failing to obtain clearance from the sowed in that correlation they now say they quickly running out of storage space for the consignments of that continue to what i've come to leave for where they're needed most on monday the management of the the ports say that will so presumably you know they don't mean commercial shipments arriving at the port shipments that are arriving from well known ports the claims made by the coalition that shipment of arms have arrived at the port and avoid the current military campaign aimed at targeting the port the

coalition countries know well that the port has no military activities at all and is not involved at all in any shipment the un cold yemen the world's most humanitarian crisis on the bottle for what they've done its effects could make it even was mohammed atta while jazeera djibouti was his old phrase a yemen analyst at the think tank chatham house he joins us live from new york thanks for being with us what do you think the prospects are for her day job given what's happening at a member level of fighting and so on. well it doesn't look good right now at all we're hearing that the u.n. envoy morphing gryphus has been in summer that he's been trying to broker some kind of negotiated settlement probably a partial or full withdrawal of the hoop these from from the city but what we also heard over the last couple of hours is that the who these largely reject the idea

of a full withdrawal the coalition does not believe in something that would involve joint management looks like the fighting is going to continue until there is a decisive victory one way or the other or it ends up stagnating as it has in other parts of yemen and the price at the moment is that the civilians are been trying to leave coming under fire and otherwise there's they're holed up not knowing what's going to happen to them is a pretty grim situation. it's not great i mean the fighting hasn't really hit the city proper yet but what we're hearing from people in farms small villages and homes where there has been frontline fighting is that they're being displaced they're unable to leave their homes their accusations or allegations that being forced to stay in their homes to basically actors as human shields it's not looking great the coalition says that it's doing its utmost

best to to protect civilians but it's quite difficult to judge how correct that is mentioned if the u.n. envoy if he can't broker a cease fire what do you think will happen then. well the fighting is likely to continue and the question then becomes how long it lasts for and how it ends and on that i mean it is it how difficult would it be for the coalition to retake a date is it something that would take weeks or is it months what's your estimation . so the coalition well it's been briefing diplomats foreign officials from what i've the stand has been saying that it thinks this would be a process of around five to six weeks so around a month other estimates run the close to two to three months if they can they can maintain a successful military campaign and cut off who the supply lines but if the who

these can remain supply lines into the city and the coalition can't actually take the main port facility there is the possibility that this could just run and run. saying the other day that actually they could continue the delivery of aid in spite of what's going on in her data how how realistic is that. the point that that's being made is they can continue the delivery of humanitarian aid if they have control of the port which they don't at the moment shipments continue to into the port right now if there is fighting around the port obviously will see shipments occur and the question then becomes how long it will take for one side of the other to prevail in the fight for the port itself but at the moment we're not there yet because we thank you very much in your thoughts thank you coming up on this news after london. columbia elects its youngest ever president but what does

militias has destroyed have the capacity of ruslan of terminal libya's national oil corporation says oil leaks could cause more fires and blames the damage on fighters loyal to abroad. but the main and most important goal is to lift the him just as our tribe some families are facing in the past two years children run the pull to end other facilities in the so-called oil crescent until late two thousand and sixteen when the warlords seized control his forces are now battling hard to regain lost territory the u.s. has been quick to condemn the attacks at ras lanuf and the statement from the u.s. embassy in tripoli it calls for an immediate end to the violence which it says is damaging libya's vital national infrastructure i think we've lost somewhere in the region of four hundred thousand barrels but an export capacity which roughly

translates for a hundred million. a month so i think it's a substantial loss in terms of libya's economic ability libya's oil exports have reached more than one million barrels a day in the past year bringing in vital income that's despite the country being grown by rival governments one in tripoli which is backed by the united nations the other based in the eastern city of el brega and backed by have turkey the damage to ras lanuf is already likely to cost eight hundred million dollars our monthly lost revenue exports have halted the question is for how long. tripoli or oil is central to libya's economy has played a major role in recent conflicts between rival governments and armed groups not only does libya have africa's largest proven crude oil reserves they're also the ninth largest globally is reserved make up ninety seven percent of the government's revenue a majority can be found in northeastern libya in the so-called oil crescent which

apartments around the world israeli government has endorsed a bill that seeks to outlaw the filming of israeli soldiers with the intent of shaming them if i was the release of a number of videos which the government has deemed harmful to the army's image rights groups say the bill is a stain on democracy and an attempt to conceal the reality of israel's occupation or a force that reports from west jerusalem. the killing of abdel fattah sheriff in hebron in twenty sixteen became one of the most controversial incidents involving israel's army in recent years the reason the existence of this video showing soldier. shoot our shareef in the head as he lay on the ground which military court said happened more than ten minutes after the palestinian was first shot and disarmed while attempting a knife attack as our it was released last month after spending nine months in jail a new bill awaiting consideration by israel's parliament the knesset proposes a maximum ten years sentence for anyone recording similar videos the defense

minister avigdor lieberman tweeted his support saying i.d.f. soldiers are subjected to attacks from those who act against the israeli people and tara supporters who try to humiliate shame and harm them we will put an end to this but the proposed law comes in response to a series of videos recently seen as harmful to the israeli military's image the bill's wording though has been questioned it refers to the intent of the person recording a soldier's behavior being to injure their spirit or harm national security israel's attorney general has called the bill in its current form illegal if and when the bill does become lords understood it would be in a very different form the maximum sentence reduced from ten to three years the offense changed from filming or distributing images of soldiers to impeding them from carrying out their duty the head of the human rights group that circulated the hebron video says that doesn't mean the bill is being watered down rather that it's being incorporated into existing law now that can actually shift the norm and

create this gray area in which it would be under the capacity of you know random soldiers or commanders to just claim that almost any photography is somehow struction of soldiers ability to carry out their duties. but selim says the eventual law could be used against media organizations as well as activists and send a message to soldiers that they can treat those recording them more of. simply it wouldn't however apply in the case of this video of an israeli sniper shooting unarmed man near the gaza border fence of the celebrations that followed it was taken by a fellow israeli soldier the defense minister called for him to be punished under military law and for the sniper who fired the bullet to be awarded a medal are a force that al-jazeera west jerusalem colombia's president elect evander kane has called for unity after winning a divisive runoff against the far left candidate mr petro ok as promised to rewrite

the historic peace deal which the government signed with fog rebels in twenty sixteen and forty two the conservative politician is colombia's youngest ever leader. and he joins us live from the colombian capital bogota and how likely is it that he'll manage to change the peace deal. well that's the big question at harvard over this entire election the whole way through his campaign do talked about how he didn't like the peace accords with the fog rebels that ended fifty years of conflict but what was really interesting last night was as he made his victory speech to his supporters you could hear him almost dialing back the rhetoric of actually rewriting the peace accords with iraq i earlier spoke to a former high commissioner for the peace deal here who said it's going to be very hard to do anything with those peace accords because they are in the supreme court they are in the constitution it will be very hard for him to change the metol so despite the promises he has made with supporters about possibly modifying of those

words he used the peace accords it may end up that he can't do much at all and really as administration starts this is a very untested politician and he has the question does he want to spend all this time trying to deal with the peace accords or trying to make his mark as colombia's new president so at the moment if you ask experts here if you ask people in the street no one really knows the answer as to what do they will do with that fragile peace accord and give is a process fair for the president. or does he have to create this is a. it's very interesting that people do say or do accuse do care of being the puppet of. the former president who has frankly shady human rights record he hand-picked if i'm the u.k. to run for this if you go back eight months people didn't even know who he was so he really has to prove himself to be his own man and interestingly last night the

former president wasn't there on stage as he made his victory speech i think that's a very tactical a very deliberate thing that they are doing but the question remains as to what kind of coalition do they will put together over the next few weeks he will move into the presidential palace in the. august we don't know what his coalition will look like but i'll bet it will be said it looks like he will play a part but it's whether decay listens closely to him or shows the people of colombia despite his inexperience that he will be his own president and dandy how come they put the conservatives managed to win again and they were up against someone who was promising the world if you like in terms of social improvements on the left what was it that that made them pick do you care after all. what is very interesting gustavo petro is in this country's history the most successful leftist candidate and what he did yesterday is really being overshadowed by duties victory

because. petro managed to get around forty two percent of the vote eight million people voted for his campaign of fighting inequality fighting climate change perhaps even risk redistributing land to the poor so that is a major achievement for petro itself but this is a country that's long been dominated by right wing politics even before the polls opened up it was pretty much expected to do kerry would win we were there when the polls closed yesterday around four pm and by about four thirty you could see that an event u.k. was going to be the winner here he thought a campaign on law and order on boosting the economy and in general lines up with what most colombians think they want to stay to the right the fear of what's happening in venezuela next door is very much overshadowing here so they didn't want to go to the left they stuck basically with what they knew and again i thank you very much indeed. and he's in munich a rest in the chief executive of car manufacturer audi in relation to germany's emissions cheating scandal prosecutors say rupert sadler has been detained on

government is losing popular support due to its liberal immigration policy this is troubling faces pressure at home over his administration separating immigrant children from their parents. in law the german chancellor has been given two weeks by a conservative but very in allies to find an e.u. deal that will reduce migration into the country the political crisis is threatening to bring down merkel's three month old coalition government. and started as tribes have targeted with the rebels in the strategic. yemeni port city of data coalition is demanding the rebels withdraw unconditionally from the area in order to save the civilian population. turkish forces have entered the outskirts of the syrian city of member as part of an agreement with the us earlier this month turkish and u.s. military officials agreed to the withdrawal of the kurdish y p g from the city man beach has been on the y.p. g. control since driving arsal out in twenty sixteen with the help of us as support i

think are considers the y.p. g a terrorist group and a strongly criticized washington for using them as an ally on the ground in syria soon closely has more from istanbul. this is seen as a reflection of a success in diplomatic talks by the turkish authorities turks that americans have been negotiating over members for for a while and finally last week top military officials that they have agreed on a roll map that y p g would leave the tunnel for membership and of course to that is certain side of the euphrates river which is a red line for turkey according to open sources there are about five to seven thousand y p g fighters inside the city inside the city of bitch and there are about seventy thousand why p.g. fighters that is to the side of the euphrates river so what is in turkish authorities mind is that turkish minutes for you should get incitement bish clear the town and provide stability and security to give the town back to its real

owners who are out and then turkey wants to move to the instance side of member to be out. and actually called bonna to do the same plan like a member but no one knows for sure whether the you not to this will give a green light for turkey to cross of that side but turkey believes that having a six hundred kilometer border there is some side a few freight israel or it is still a potential risk and just to remind present i don has wall to clear his borders his country's borders from why p.g. from syria up onto the iraqi border washington has denied a claim by the syrian regime that the us led coalition bombed military positions in the east of the country on sunday this video posted online allegedly shows the aftermath of the airstrikes on the book amal area which killed a number of fighters the syrian observatory for human rights says the attack killed at least thirty eight people. you know his state has drastically reduced the number

of refugees allowed into the country only about a dozen syrian refugees have been granted entry despite the conflict displacing millions some americans are finding other ways to help those trying to free the water in country after there is christian sunni has more from new york so a lot of these people carry very little with them and when they arrived at these camps they had very little mark rasch maybe retired but after thirty four years teaching he is right at home in front of a classroom these days the lesson is empathy you could live here or you can live here where you can live and maybe that's as he attempts to help refugees from a country in a conflict these sixth graders know little about syria but after some photos of the bombed out city of aleppo and a video about life in a refugee camp in jordan they're ready to help in whatever way they can and i don't think anyone should go through it they went through especially

a kid it makes me really grateful for everything that i have actually earned this boy and some friends raised one hundred sixty eight dollars and donations are actually missing really really happy because. it's so great that someone here wanted to help trash out has been collecting extra books and school supplies from new york city schools for years are doing great. and shipping them to underprivileged ones in africa but this year he decided the syrian refugee crisis was too big to ignore and teamed up with the united muslim relief organization for what could be his largest single relief drive yet. so you want kids to be empowered to be global citizens you want them to understand the world's problems and so act and also gets americans to understand what the refugee crisis is all about and identify with it which i think is critically important goals. students parents and teachers answered the call lining up one saturday morning to deliver what they

collected. nearly fifty schools took part in the drive each one responsible for collecting a different i had school supplies clothing or blanket the goal was to fill a trailer they've done that for i want to do with the overflow at one point the cars stretch down the street yeah i know we're going to get painted just where we're going to put the stuff before we get another good thing the campaign was such a success they're trying to replicate it in city school districts nationwide christian salumi al jazeera new york well the thousand doctors in australia have signed a petition calling for a refugee who is dying of lung cancer to be allowed into the country for palliative care the man known as ali is being held at an offshore detention center on the tiny pacific island of nowruz he wants to become he wants to come to australia to be with members of his ethnic group as he dies andrew thomas has more from brisbane. the refugee at the center of this is a sixty three year old has are

a man originally from afghanistan but he tried to come to australia by boat instead under australia's government never australia policy he was deported straight to the tiny bits of the god of the route where he's been for nearly five years he's got lung cancer he's dying everybody accepts that he wants to be brought to australia for palliative care and because he knows that members of his community are here to support him in his final days and australia's government has accepted that the medical operations on the route and not adequate for his needs and they offer to transfer him to taiwan he doesn't want to go there he says he knows nobody he fears people won't speak his language doctors here more than a thousand of them now have signed a petition calling for him to be brought to australia i spoke to one of them about why she'd signed real want to die amongst people who speak our language for us with good medical corps death happens to everyone but how you die matters in

a sense this one man this one it situation has become representative of the way australia's government is treating all those with medical conditions on mannus island and in the roof and doctors in australia are putting themselves at the forefront of calls for change. four people have been killed and hundreds injured after a powerful earthquake hit japan's second city a saka the magnitude six point one quake struck at the height of rush hour was in buildings to sway walls to collapse and pipes to best one of those killed was a nine year old girl who was crushed when a wall collapsed at a school dozens of domestic flights in and out of the city were grounded and train service is suspended. because we are doing our best to respond to this disaster urgently as some areas still cannot access gas a water as of now there is no damage at nuclear power facilities such as tucker and nuclear power plants a new study has found that us civilians own more than forty percent of the world's

guns despite making up just four percent of the global population a small arms survey found that out of one billion firearms around the world eighty five percent are in the hands of civilians ministries and no enforcement agencies hold the rest the biggest force pull pushing up gun ownership around the world is civilian ownership in the united states. ordinary american people by approximately fourteen million new and imported gods every year that number varies a little bit but if you average for the previous five years that are fully documented for a little over fourteen million new imported firearms the trombones ordered the us military to establish a new branch to focus on space exploration he said the creation of a sixty minute she branch of the space force would boost national security and the economy also about to return americans to the moon and send people to mas the u.s.

congress would have to authorize the creation of any new military branch critics say a new space program could harm the u.s. air force. but our destiny beyond the earth is not only a matter of national identity but a matter of national security so important for a military so important and people don't talk about it when it comes to defending america it is not enough to merely have an american presence in space we must have american dominance in space so important are we not from washington is frank rose he said in for a car bomb as administration is the deputy assistant secretary of state for space and defense policy is now a senior fellow specializing in foreign policy at the brookings institution that thanks very much for being with us so what do you make of this call for a space force from at this point well what i would say is the underlying

assumptions on the need to deal with threats from space are real one russia and china are developing a number of capabilities to damage and destroy the u.s. satellites in secondly there is a feeling amongst many that the air force which is primarily focused on airplanes is not focusing enough time in attention to dealing with threats in outer space so the rationale for creating a space forces there i think there are serious questions though whether a space force will solve the problem and it appeared that the idea of the space was had been originally rejected by the by the trumpet restoration so why the change of heart to think. well that's a good question last year several members of congress proposed the creation of what they called a space corps similar to the u.s.

marine corps that would sit under the air force however the trumpet ministration specifically secretary of defense mattis in the secretary of the air force heather wilson came out strongly opposed to the creation of this semi independent. force so it's a bit of a major surprise that today the trumpet ministration is the is now announcing the creation of such as full force. let's see if we can i get that a piece back in and i'm not sure if it's going to shoulder to see if we can find it that's the same as about enjoying history this conversation. that's a shame well thank you very much indeed. rose. now north and south korea will hold a joint basketball game next month and into korean team will also be sent to the asian games in august both announcements were made after the latest round of
