on al-jazeera. the fight for her date is therefore fierce battles within the saudi i'm right a coalition and who the rebels. i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. the new arrivals more than fifteen hundred refugees arrive in spain seeking a new home. alltop promises for their tariffs as the trade war with china turns personal. the united states will not be a migrant camp. and the u.s. president defends his harsh immigration policies and points the blame squarely at democrats.

more than fifteen hundred migrants have tried to cross from africa to spain over the weekend it is the largest single influx of migrants to the area and for years it comes to days after more than six hundred migrants arrived in the spanish city of aleppo after that ship was turned away from italy and malta and while they charm a chance longer merkel is facing a growing immigration crisis of her own she's been given a two week ultimatum by one of her coalition partners to tighten asylum rules or lose support bring down recalls government and force new elections karl penhall has more from the area on the southern coast of spain so as we just said karl there's been a surge in migrants going to this particular area what's driving it what's happening where you are. absolutely with the latest arrivals that have

come over the last four days fifteen hundred of them plucked from the sea by spain's marine rescue service here in al maria and points further south as well that means that numbers of new migrant and refugee arrivals this year so far are more than one hundred percent up on last year now they're coming across in more than one hundred of those fifteen hundred came across him more than one hundred rickety fishing boats a row boats and even children's plastic. and that makes it a very perilous journey right now the marine rescue search service is searching for at least forty migrants that they believe may have been aboard one of these vessels they refer to as proterozoic sunk in the mediterranean in the western mediterranean one of the reasons why they're coming ashore here in a point of southern spain is because the coast of morocco is relatively close from where we are now it's about one hundred miles or one hundred sixty kilometers south

to the nearest point on the coast of morocco as you go right down towards the straits of gibraltar that distance narrows to just nine miles or fourteen kilometers you can see how that is tempting for migrants and refugees to try and get through there especially year if the central mediterranean route the route from libya through to italy becomes more perilous or if it early starts to shut those ports but it is having an impact here on the national police and immigration service says they are simply overwhelmed all they're doing right now is taking the migrants off the boats as they're brought into port and they say that they have no space to hold them to give them the support services they need especially the most vulnerable so in practice what is happening is they're simply opening the gates of the port and those migrants can continue their journey into spain or deeper into europe richelle all right karl penhall live for us on the southern coast of spain thank you. so there are more refugees in the world today than ever before the

latest u.n. refugee agency report finds more than sixty eight and a half million people are displaced worldwide. with a closer look at the numbers. every two seconds a person is forced from their home every day that's forty four and a half thousand people over a year more than sixty million this is the u.n. figure for newly displaced people in two thousand and seventeen the un's refugee agency says it's part of a worrying upward trend a number that's risen every year for the last five years and is fueled by war violence and persecution crises like those in the democratic republic of congo war in south sudan the hundreds of thousands of muslim or hindu flooding into bangladesh from neighboring me and most of them a children fifty three percent of the world's displaced and often unaccompanied or

separated from their families one in every one hundred ten people is a refugee internally displaced or seeking asylum that adds up to more than sixty eight and a half million people to put that in perspective of the world's refugees for a single nation that roughly equal the population of the united kingdom and in the time of being talking at least thirty four people more than half of them children have been forced from their homes. or on day is a high commissioner for refugees at the united nations he joins us now from tripoli in libya and we appreciate your time this marianna just said these numbers have been going up year after year after year do you ever feel that there's there has been a proper sense of urgency from the international community about this. i think there is this urgency but the response is continue to be. fragmented into icily this is

a global phenomenon that requires international cooperation on a global scale and this is what these raise the rising figures the world so. the issue of immigration and refugees is something that is obviously very political in a lot of countries it's something that is having to deal with and it's also something that u.s. president donald trump is dealing with but a guest today he said specifically that he didn't want the u.s. to be migrant camp and the way that a lot of countries in europe are responding to it is with this heightened sense of nationalism how does that play into all of this how concerning is this to you. concern him because the response to these political positions are not right. refugees are fleeing violence war persecution we have an obligation to help

them and they're not even effective you can see easily you just report that then if you grows news on one side they open on another we need to look at the root causes we need to address the reasons why these people leave violence war we need to help the countries where they are in majority let's not forget that eight million refugees and displaced five percent are not the rich countries. middle income developing countries and then we need to maintain asylum systems that are effective to receive those in need of protection of refuge and give other option other for those that move for different reasons what are some of the most dangerous misconceptions or are just flat out untruths about immigrants as a whole for example donald trump said that crime was up and germany because of refugees and immigrants and that's flat out not true the crime rate is actually

down what are some of the most dangerous misconceptions about immigrants. let me focus on particular the sixty eight million refugees and displaced one big misconception is that they bring in security they actually believe in security that's why did they take refuge elsewhere and i think another big misconception is that the rich world these on an emergent rich world can't manage these flows i'm here in libya through which many of the people moving on to europe pass and actually in the last year we've been able to do a lot to have these people here to bring back to their countries those that are not refugees and can go back to. orderly movements worth countries accepting them through resettlement program so management of these flows is possible if we always present it as an a manageable emergency would be create apprehension and we trigger negative

reactions that do not solve the problems and penalise the most vulnerable and of course the most vulnerable in all of this are the children what are the consequences of not. fixing this for children. the consequences are dire because solutions for children are doing more difficult and yet even here in libya where i am now we see in lopped off i'm a company children among those on the move war situation produce in such cases they need special attention and the and the hype of these responses in the public the association of this response is we often forget that these are people that need special attention and special care. joining us from tripoli thank you very much sir . thank you government forces and yemen backed by saudi iraqi military coalition have enter the airport and her data are trying to retake it from who the rebels

because it would be a key way of resupply military forces today to also host a major seaport and there are fears the fighting could disrupt the flow of much needed aid to millions the security council has been meeting to discuss the fighting the regenerated their coal for the ports of hadid and salif to be kept open and operating safely given the continuing respect to the humanitarian situation they regenerates it's their call for the full implementation of security council resolutions including resolution twenty two sixteen and urged all sides to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law some handy as an editor at international interest in online news magazine he joins us now from london the a skype could you just add to the conversation what it is specifically about. the

airport and who data why it is so critical what is happening now. we have to remember that for that it has been a very key city in terms of supplying the truth is with exactly what they need in order to be able to sustain this war of attrition that they've been conducting in yemen the host the gamble has always been that as long as they can stay in samarra long as they can stay in for data then international pressure will follow saudi arabia to the table to discuss negotiation the use that was and to see it brought to receive that a to impose taxes on the aid that has resulted in prices of seeing a more than a hundred percent added to them which is a great hardship on for data so the war in terms of taking the airport and taking the port are absolutely fundamental for the coalition forces because if this is the battle that will cut off the lifeline who see it who did it take and there will be a civilian weakening the who the position and it may well fall into a fight for survival that will mean that they take negotiations will be much more

seriously of course the problem is that the fusees have have gathered most of their forces in to put a there as a sign of just how important it is we didn't see this in the other cities that the coalition were trying to take the hopis are desperate to make sure they don't lose it so it's a serious battle for the airport it will be a fierce battle for the port in terms of the aid that is coming in you mentioned that aid as well the aid some of it has been going to the people but most of it has been going to have to feed many employees of the government have not had the wages paid as a result because they need this right like they need the supplies that would employ isn't going to the hopis but very important to the coalition forces who are still to break the back of the movement ok so let me go back to something you said a moment ago that the hit the rebels thought maybe that this what's happening here could force some sort of negotiation with the endgame being what and those negotiations. the end game is to become the most powerful political party political spectrum the reality is that these in the beginning of this conflict they managed

to push the party the muslim brotherhood the man to defeat them militarily they managed to push the nastiest out those who are essentially not who these are not seeking to take over all of yemen that was failed as a result of their failure to take gathered in the early days of the conflict however by staying in sanaa they seek a political solution by which they would be the de facto power in any political resolution and that was the gamble this is why they needed some r. and why they needed if they lose who they did they would have been forced to the table to negotiations as an equal party to live like the masses this is not what the police want this is not what they were gambling for and this is where the battle is so please because the truth is that what you will be trying to achieve is now in jeopardy and this is why we're going to see probably more from this fighting in her data than we've seen in any other city. sami hyundai thank you so much for your insight on this we appreciate that. the un secretary general terrorises warning that gaza is on the brink of war his support is spend

sent to the security council ahead of a meeting on tuesday on the israeli palestinian peace process our diplomatic editor james space has more. this is a report that israel in the trumpet ministration won't want to read it's from the un secretary general and tony a good terrorist to the security council most of the points he makes in here have been made by the un before but the fact that they're all here in the same place at this time is significant he is critical on garza of the violence of the deaths of palestinians he says that gaza is on the brink of full scale war and already has faced economic collapse on the west bank he says that israel's settlement building is a flagrant violation of international law and he's critical even though the trumpet ministration is undergoing consultations on a middle east peace plan led by the president's son in law jared kirshner he's

critical of the international community saying he's greatly concerned with the state of our collective efforts to advance peace and urges international and regional partners to reengage the report ends the current trajectory is not sustainable fighting as escalated in libya's so-called oil crescent forces loyal to warlord khalifa haftar are tempting to raise while terminals lost to a rival armed group on thursday there he had been under the control of have ties the libyan national army since two thousand and sixteen but no detail ahead reports from tripoli. i know the damage to libya's largest oil refinery is being described as catastrophic fighting between rival militias has destroyed have the capacity of for us land 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 of justice are tried some

they were getting in the bulk of the real dampens maybe northern to but there are figures here from bol garia back to austria down to his feet reflect basically one significant sun the storm in the last twenty four hours so we're under one hundred millimeters but that's in a skiff local flash flooding and that will still be the case during choose to this general area right down to south and turkey no further west to europe things are much brighter and dry attempts are starting to rise again having dropped down to low twenty's in madrid it's actually hotter than it was by at least fourteen degrees only a week ago back to where it should be more or less and tempers are rising elsewhere in europe we still got potential some pretty big damp was i think southern italy is probably still the place to watch for maybe some of the most vicious with hail and heavy rain and of course that will also affect multi possibly and maybe the gulf of sit so chippies on shore breeze might well be bringing a shower with it elsewhere temperatures in north africa slowly rising right to the

middle forty's nice one and middle twenty's over above in iraq and iraq of course has taken a while to get it to decent temperature levels but with an air of course in the sunshine.
