5:02 am
a practice the trumpet ministration is defending this in ministration has a simple message if you cross the border illegally we will prosecute you if you make a false immigration claim we will prosecute you if you smuggle illegal aliens across an extraordinarily dangerous journey we will prosecute you the policy of separating children has been in place for more than a decade but until recently was always considered an action of last resort for some and has surged under president donald trump who's not backing down from his hardline policy the united states will not be a migrant camp and it will not be 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 comment to provoke growing outrage among democrats and even members of his own
5:03 am
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 the laws even though republicans currently control congress and both parties have failed to deliver immigration reform for decades and until there are new laws in place or trumps infamous border wall is funded the attorney general says the zero tolerance policy will continue we cannot and will not encourage people to bring their children or the children to the country unlawfully by giving them immunity. in the process tom is expected to travel to capitol hill to speak with republican lawmakers on tuesday that a series of immigration proposals but none is expected to pass setting up an

emotional debate that is unlikely to be resolved until voters go to the polls for congressional elections in november kimberley halkett al jazeera washington well the outgoing u.n. human rights chief has described the family separation policy is unconscionable. saying urged the urged president trumped end the practice in the united states deeply concerned by recently adopted policies which punish children for their parents' actions in the past six weeks nearly two thousand children have been forcibly separated from their parents the american association of pediatrics has called this cruel practice government sanctioned child abuse and which may cause repairable with my phone consequences will join us now via skype from new york is evan singh fried a republican strategist and author good to have you with us evan so you heard the
5:05 am
the u.n. human rights chief they're calling this family separation policy unconscionable president trump has ignored the intensifying chorus of condemnation over this zero tolerance and foresman policy where do you stand on this issue. well personally i stand on the side of morality and compassion i think that it the policy is wrong and i'm an immigration hawk i believe that we should secure our border and prevent illegal immigration but in no way shape or form should we be visiting the sins of the father on the child and this is not moral and it's not showing any compassion you see that there are children in these detention centers kept in cages who are not even allowed to have access to lawyers and they're given a thin aluminum foil blanket and that's it they're when they're crying according to the american head or the head of the american association of pediatrics they are
5:06 am
not allowed to be comforted because there are rules and regulations that prevent workers in these detention facilities from even touching the children one child a sixteen year old girl was who's also a detainee told other detainees who are younger how to change a diaper of the other detainees there it's immoral it's wrong and it shows why america is no longer great american nation so when the president says that he wants to prevent america becoming a refugee camp he's obviously playing to his base is this strategy though going to help or hinder the republican party in the midterms. well it's going to hope help both parties to be honest with you both parties would politically and this is very shameful to say benefit from if no action were taken by congress and the status quo remain democrats would be able to go out and scream we need to elect more democrats to prevent this and republicans would be able to scream look we wanted to do an
5:07 am
overall immigration overhaul where we could talk about everything the wall eve their birth and other immigration systems that have been on the g.o.p.'s less for years but democrats wouldn't let us so if we had more republicans we'd be able to do it but to be honest with you politics for both sides of the aisle are trumping morality and that is very disappointing as an american citizen ever we were talking to bill schneider a couple of hours ago about this with president trump again trying to shift the responsibility for this policy. saying that his administration was simply enforcing the country's quote horrible laws i say is very strongly the democrats' fault he said bill schneider said that no wrong that's not right. bill schneider's one hundred percent correct i mean to believe trump on that it's the democrats' fault is like that the democrats helped o.j.
5:08 am
simpson no murder nicole brown simpson and the democrats also helped ted cruz his father mirjam a on the grassy knoll it's garbage democrats did not do anything along these lines this policy was started under george w. bush in the two thousand and it was a policy not a law it's really up to the president as to whether or not he wants to enforce this and a month and a half ago the president's administration decided we're going to enforce this policy to the map acts and what is most terrifying to me is the fact that this policy is still not enforced to one hundred percent we're only about sixty percent of the actual embarrassment that is there are so that means forty percent of children who are coming across the border illegally are still escaping this and that would be to provide to me that would be thousands upon thousands of children who would be tamed when this policy is fully up and running and the trauma

a month in lost revenue exports have halted the question is for how long. tripoli u.s. president ronald trump is threatening to impose new tariffs against china trump says that if beijing goes ahead with new taxes against u.s. goods that washington will introduce a ten percent tariff on chinese imports worth two hundred billion dollars it's the latest step in the escalating trade dispute between the two countries let's go live to beijing china correspondent adrian brown. is there any chance still of a negotiated settlement here. i think the chances of a negotiated settlement are becoming much slimmer by the day remember these new tariffs a jew to kick in in just seventeen days time on july the six so the clock is really ticking and the negotiations that have been taking place between the united states and china have now essentially stalled and now what happened was on friday of
5:21 am
course president trump announced he was going to impose tariffs on some fifty billion dollars worth of chinese exports china responded by saying it would basically do the same with u.s. exports now president trumpets hit back with two hundred billion dollars more worth of tariffs on chinese x. ports and it's threatened an additional two hundred billion dollars tariffs on u.s. exports which means we're talking about four hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese exports china has responded in the last few minutes the commerce ministry saying that if the united states did presses ahead with these terrorists that it will respond in it with measures that are of the same quality and quantity so it does appear adrian that we are now sort of approaching a sort of tit for tat downward spiral there's very little way out of this at the moment and the chances of
5:22 am
a negotiated settlement as i say are beginning to look very slim indeed why is the united states doing this while president trump on monday again reminded the world that china is conducting what he says are unfair trade practices basically he says u.s. companies here in china have to hand over important information essentially their their intellectual know how as a condition for doing business with joint venture partners here in china and he says that simply has to stop how is this route going to complicate cooperation between the u.s. and china of a north korea. well adrian we've heard actually just in the last few minutes state t.v. here in china has confirmed that kim jong un will be making or is now making his third visit to china in as many months the state t.v. says that he will be here on chews day and wednesday no doubt to brief president xi jinping on his encounter with president donald trump in singapore exactly
5:23 am
a week ago it does show of course that china is once more back in the game when it comes to north korea now trump of course i think may well have felt up until now that his bromance with kim may mean he doesn't need china's help quite as much as he did in the past but china i think may now well be feeling you know what if the united states is going to continue threatening to impose tariffs on our exports part of the same time demanding that we continue in forcing sanctions against north korea well we might just decide to ease up on those sanctions adrian many thanks are trying to correspond as adrian brown there live in beijing the united nations has called on nicaragua's government to invite u.n. monitors into the country without delayed president daniel ortega has agreed to an investigation into the political violence that has killed nearly one hundred eighty people since april but protest leaders say the government is refusing to show them copies of the invitation it's supposed to send to foreign investigators that's

5:25 am
dialogue is once again under the pressure of being suspended because those conditions have not been met the president says that he is engaged in talks with these international bodies but there hasn't been a formal declaration that would signal that an independent investigation into the ongoing crisis is forthcoming now the political crisis as i mentioned before began on april eighteenth we're now two months into this crisis there have been at least one hundred eighty people that have been killed some some pictures put the death toll at it at as many as two hundred fifteen a thousand others have been injured dozens of others have been disappeared and the city of my site which is about forty five minutes away from my now has become a symbol of the resistance against president or thing at a press conference held today by representatives of that resistance they were calling for the civil society to abandon the ongoing dialogue altogether to abandon the peace talks saying that the only peaceful algebra is the president or the big

5:31 am
i don't know who he is or who he's going to be but i hope you put his hand on his conscience. say i feel that behind him is the old political machinery that will not let him govern well so it will be more of the same i predicts of decay accuse him of being a puppet of former president alberto hardline who is as popular as he is polarizing on e bay hand-picked duke it was noticeably absent from sunday night celebrations. in august and decay will move here to the presidential palace replacing kwan manuel santos the man responsible for putting together the twenty sixteen peace accords with the fog rebels that ended fifty years of conflict the question for many colombians is what decay a critic of those accords will do next. duquesne has talked about rewriting the peace accord saying the treatment of rebels has been too lenient colombia's constitutional court has ruled the agreement can't be tampered with so that may not
5:32 am
be easy form a high commissioner for peace daniel garcia pena says dukie is already softening his rhetoric an indication the bulk of the agreement may remain it will be very interesting to see to what degree we will see a president who could take. up positions against the process sort of effect what we saw last night is an indication of a war voter route. that will in fact be able to allow the peace process to future use. others see duke a status as a newcomer and they would kill his favor. not the administrative experience that many of our prior presidents have that those will means that he isn't painted by any of these scandals of corruption or any dealings with former shadows of our own past so in a way it's a blank slate that he has which represents both risk an opportunity. if this is a new era in colombian politics that maybe even do k.

that defines it he's promised to govern for all this is a nation that remains divided about its future. and gallacher al-jazeera bogota colombia more than one and a half million russians have signed an online petition against think government's pension reforms proposed aims to raise the pension age from fifty five to sixty three for women and from sixty to sixty five for men the bill was submitted to parliament last thursday rory chalons reports now from moscow. well pension reform is something they're already made putin various governments have been putting off for years and years and years in fact in two thousand and five putin said that pension ages would never be raised while he was president currently russia's retirement ages are below sixty for men and just fifty five women those are a legacy of the soviet years they were come up with in one nine hundred thirty two when life expectancy in the country was just thirty five for men and forty for
5:34 am
women it's still pretty low by european standards but it has doubled since those times so now there's unsustainable pressure on the state pension funds and the government obviously feels a thing that now the time is right for some reform presidential elections in march are safely out of the way but they still chose the first day of the world cup to sneak this this plan out they know that it's a very unpopular thing to do in fact in a recent poll ninety two percent of russians said they were against this the plan is for retirement ages to be raised to sixty five for men and sixty three for when for women that will be done over the next decade and a half the problem is why isn't he saying that vladimir putin is not actually involved in this pension reform is a government thing they will be watching very very closely for public reaction and if there is any sign that this is going to bring big crowds out onto the streets
5:35 am
then perhaps they might roll some of this back. police in germany have arrested the chief executive of carmaker audi as part of the investigation into emissions test cheating prosecutors believe that rupert starr may try to suppress evidence and influence witnesses he's the highest ranking executive of parent company volkswagen to be arrested the firm is accused of selling thousands of diesel engine cars with software designed to mask carbon emissions. u.s. president donald trump has called on the pentagon to create a new america's space force he wants it to become a branch of the military that will need congressional approval since his election trump has repeatedly vowed to send people back to the moon for the first time since one nine hundred seventy two 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
5:36 am
america it is not enough to merely have in american presence in space we must have american dominance in space so important joining us now via skype from new york is actual castleberry who's a military veteran at a specialist on national security good to have you with us. this would create if the space force idea goes ahead a six the branch of the military. does the military in the us want or need a sixth branch. definitely a recommendation to look into right about now in terms of space operations you have the air force that's maintaining that so it's definitely unique because they already have a cohort out of all the branches they're actually doing the work i just think it's more optics where you know now that you're here you're trying to build a space force that helps you send out objects in terms of competing against you know china russia is also investing in space operations so it's more and more
5:37 am
a publicity stunt i mean how is it going to go down with congress. well the congress has them planned this out for quite some time came along with the now the national defense act as well as i think part of present trans national security strategy in two thousand and seventeen where he was requested for up to seven hundred billion dollars as part of that that budget he wanted to expand on his space for so this is no no nothing new and this is something definitely that congress has been working on for two the bad part is that it has all the stuff has not been ironed out is now has a comprehensive terms of the plan right now and what about this control to see the minutes rise ation of space space that the u.s. of course is a signatory to the treaty declaring that he wouldn't do that yes you know there's definitely been some changes in terms of his optics lately but i think that as he has come across in intelligence reports in terms of what china and russia are doing
5:38 am
his competitors which is you know to bring down u.s. primacy that's their intent that's what it was briefed to him this is probably one reason why he has kind of changed his intent and he wants to invest in you know you know bring together a space force and how would you have this good time with the air force and surely this is their domain this news. yes it is their job domain and when you have a service member who's actually interested in going to space directly goes into the air force your sheep but now that you know that space for thing happens you'll see where people will go and there secondly because they'll be a separate corps compared to go back before you go you join the air force you do space operations and you know all their other branches doing the same thing it's just that air force has been the lead of all the branches so now you have to build a core separate programs where they will have to work on that together and it kind of also complicates the joint piece to it too as well as a really good to talk to many thanks indeed for being with us actual castleberry the national security specialist in new york thank you civilians in the

u.s. and more than forty percent of the world's guns that's according to the small arms of a the swiss spaced research group found that all of the one billion firearms owned around the world eighty five percent belong to civilians while militarism glore enforcement agencies have the rest are in cop from the small arms survey explains why there are some many guns in the u.s. . every country is very different and even in the united states there's a lot of variation among the fifty states in puerto rico guam so you find a lot of variation habits part of what makes america so difficult is you have an awful lot of relatively normal gun owners people who own two or three guns but the surveys also show they're all an awful lot of what american statistician's call super owners people who have forty firearms or more which in the united states of course can include things like semi-automatic rifles for example china and india
5:40 am
both have relatively low levels of firearms ownership when you measure it see how many guns per one hundred in comparison sides that way they don't stand out at all in fact they look relatively innocuous but the sheer size of india and china mean that even when gun ownership is relatively rare the cumulative effect is enormous so you have tens of millions of firearms there because mostly it's a measure of just how big those societies are firearms aren't that expensive and it's a culture we're going to ownership seems to be very important we have a broad number of estimates for yemen what everyone's agreed it is gun ownership there never was an unusual and since the war broke out of course since two thousand and fourteen gun ownership has become even more commonplace there it's fair to say you see an adult man there's a firearm very close by the brother in law of the king of spain has begun
