1:01 pm
george support announced on how much with all the sporting queued in the latest from the world cup in russia where england breathe a sigh of relief after leaving it late to be ten is yet to one. of. the saudi mirage a coalition backing the government in yemen says it now controls the airports in her data but fighting with rebels is ongoing in some areas in the northern parts of the compound there it's the latest developments in the offensive aimed at retaking the city from the rebels today that has been held by the heathy since twenty fourteen the latest military offensive has been described as one of the biggest battles yet in the three years civil war is where things stand at the moment. as i mentioned earlier there's a fierce fight over the airport today does airport while the terminal has been
1:02 pm
destroyed taking the one way depending on its condition is vital for the saudi immorality led coalition to fly in reinforcements government troops are purging from the strip of land to the south along the coast elsewhere airstrikes of targeted to the supply lines to the north and east while ships off shore have been used to bombard targets in the city and then there's a date is poured which receives eighty percent of yemen's food imports it's vital for delivering goods and much needed aid the coalition though accuses the he's of using it to smuggle in weapons and says it provides huge revenue to the armed group the united nations security council is warning that the closure of her data port could prevent food and other key supplies reaching millions of people it's calling on all sides in the war to respect international law the regenerated their call for the ports of hadid and salif to be kept open and operating safely
1:03 pm
given the continuing risk to the humanitarian situation. they regenerated their call for the full implementation of security council resolutions including resolution twenty two sixteen and urged all size to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law. everyone fred is an associate professor of conflict resolution and humanitarian studies at the institute joins us here in the studio always good to see you but you say it seems that they've secured the airport i mean that's pretty important is it of course in any battle particularly in headache at the moment what does it mean from a from a strange point of you know well it means a lot actually because the airport is like the main battle. of the coalition will need to secure in order to have control over what they've done because they there isn't a very strategic position compared to the rest of the country and specially for the
1:04 pm
huth is as the lawyer mostly on a day for their external communications with the world so it will really strangle the he sees as well when financially and from a humanitarian point of view not only these but yemenis who need access to that port it's actually more than just the communications with the outside world because you know for the who is this is the place where they can. where we have control over the southern part of yemen and that's. because of its strategic location compared to the other parts of yemen and they've are the losers who they the poor in particular that's where over eighty percent of. their external assistance that comes from this from the support so in order to. the airport the coalition who has will be in my view strategically weakened position or that's why i think they're
1:05 pm
fighting very strongly in order to maintain it but the little mind that the disaster will be if the port stops all the airport will be that it made disaster will be for the many people because of external if that comes from this place of course i mean the un is saying to both sides respect international law that doesn't seem to be an issue here at all does it i mean the end game. is that the cali coalition wants to get the he's out whatever it takes it seems so what's going to alleviate the misery now sadly these are a very general statement so he will speak the humanitarian international law everyone says these statements he's going to present it lacks and a mechanism to enforce it like in times of conflicts and times of situations no one cares unfortunately all of the fighting about international law no one cares about humanitarianism even we are seeing more reports actually of involvement in the what they do about all french and american and particularly in some ways very arms and
1:06 pm
intelligence so why would i want to so so we haven't seen any so far we don't know but we haven't seen any real practical mechanism that ensures supplies of humanitarian aid to the many people from and near together where eighty percent of the exterior. that comes from this area know we hold that this will be short and it will be over very soon we're going to see oracles street battles it's going to he's living amongst the locals there but it seems that the mission the mission goes ahead as he really cares about the humanitarian situation there the end game now is what if this continues it's going to be a disaster and if the what they do about will is not. is not finished very soon there are many people who will be paying the highest price for this and for imagine it getting any worse and it will get much worse sadly of how much you know the
1:07 pm
situation is bad in yemen it will get worse if the situation in continuos let's keep in mind by the way that when this all was started back three years ago everyone was talking about like even weeks not even months of this coming to become to be over now we are in our fourth year there is no. more into it and what what what concerns me in particular the iranian of how it sounded by very mountainous areas around which gives the who has a very strong strategic position in terms of fighting over which might indicate actually a long battle we don't know yet but that's something it's not going to be easy to defeat the who is outside today there in the room like between. this is
1:08 pm
a very tough mountainous areas the battles and fighting can continue for a long time without being over in and if i'm sort ok thank you thank you. now all violence and persecution of forced more people to become refugees than ever before the latest u.n. refugee agency report finds more than sixty eight and a half million people are displaced worldwide as of last year has made in the hunt with a closer look at those numbers. every two seconds a person is forced from their home over a day that's forty four and a half thousand people over a year more than sixty million this is the un 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
1:09 pm
in south sudan the hundreds of thousands of muslim or head injury flooding into bangladesh from neighboring million man most of them 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 i've been talking at least thirty four people more than half of them children have been forced from their homes earlier we spoke to sleeper grundy the high commissioner for refugees at the united nations about those findings there is this sense of urgency but the response is continue to be to work for them
1:10 pm
and then to isolate them this is a global phenomenon that requires international so be very thin cooperation on a global scale and this is what these raise the rising figures and the world's 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 reported on it if you draws avenues on one side they open on another we need to look at the root causes we need to address the reasons why people leave violence war we need to help the countries where they are in majority let's not forget that eight million refugees in this least eighty five percent are not in rich countries poor middle income developing countries and then we need to maintain asylum systems that
1:11 pm
are effective to receive those in need of protection of refuge and give other options for those that move for different reasons now many of those refugees and migrants especially from africa been heading to spain in the attempt to get into europe more than fifteen hundred tribes cross from africa to spain just over the weekend it's the largest single influx of migrants to the area in four years comes as more than six hundred migrants arrived in the spanish city of valencia on sunday after their ship was turned away from italy and multi-layered still sculpin alive from the americas on the southern coast of spain called so they seem to be heading to spain and i'm just wondering what sort of impact that's happening having there and the response well right now jane we are in the control center of spain's marine rescue service in the port of
1:12 pm
our maria and this is where personnel are on high alert for the arrival of any more migrant and refugee boat they call them potatoes here these are not sophisticated boats they rust bucket fishing vessels rowing boats and sometimes even children's right but. if you look from where we are now one hundred miles that way hundred sixty kilometers that is the coast of morocco and this is why for me here they're monitoring control in the traffic they say what normally happens is that they will receive a telephone call or radio communication that a migrant vessel is somewhere adrift here in the western mediterranean and from that point on from here in the control center they'll get a helicopter up into the air to try and identify the exact location and then one of the characteristic orange rescue vessels will then sail out and try and pick them up they say however that in the last four days they have seen nothing like it in
1:13 pm
many years fifteen hundred refugees and migrants picked up both here to ameria and other points further south a wave that really in four days more migrants have arrived in the last four days than typically would arrive in a month the numbers right now are more than double at this time this year compared to last year if you look here as well more of the screens there constantly monitoring the sea traffic that comes through these parts of the western mediterranean trying to see if they can get signs of the smaller vessels that could be bringing migrants and refugees with them over the weekend one of those vessels did sink they managed to pick up four survivors clinging to the wreckage but they say somewhere out there in the sea at least forty souls a lost over the weekend hundreds more of course arriving a life here on the shores of spain jane ok let's take it to the political arena
1:14 pm
now and discuss how it's been treated under the new leadership are we going to see any changes there. well we did of course see the the spanish prime minister the incoming spanish prime minister pedro sanchez saying that he would receive the vessel aquarius after that was blocked from the italian ports in the crossing between libya and italy and the fact that the socialist government stepped up and and gave that safe passage could be one of the factors driving this new wave of migrants and refugees setting off from the shores of morocco and algeria to get here they assume that there's going to be a great a welcome here but it has to be said that the treatment of the two sets of migrants has been starkly different in valencia where we work the weekend for the arrival of the aquarius we saw more than two thousand volunteers and officials on the on stage there to help welcome them and give them the help that they need here it is very
1:15 pm
much a a an ad hoc situation the personnel have a great lot of experience but they say that simply that often they don't have the means to attend so many people in fact talking to the police they say that once the migrants are brought here to shore they are registered but after that there is no way to house them know where to attend them so the ports simply open the doors and they are free to go either into spain or deeper into europe jane thank you for that . as possible head on the news including the latest effort to end anti government protests in nicaragua hits a major hurdle. bad apple in australia the tech giants fine but why were i phone customers misled. and in sport why this field has disgraced former president but to make an appearance at the world cup.
1:16 pm
president says he won't allow america to become a migrant camp and he's refusing to back down from his controversial policy of separating migrant children from. parents on the border with mexico outraged critics say it's an affront to american values recordings of crying children start this report. in washington. was. for. the children are heard crying for their my ma and pa pa over and over and over again this audio recording released by a civil rights lawyer reportedly comes from the inside of a u.s. border patrol detention facility it purports to be the first uncensored glimpse of what children forcibly separated from their parents at the border are experiencing at the hands of the american government there are some. people who.
1:17 pm
this is so heartbreaking it's so challenges that tiny country that it must be changed must be changed immediately the trumpet ministration has separated at least two thousand children from their parents since mid april the kids are sent to detention centers to wait asylum hearings while the adults are processed through the criminal system sentenced and sometimes deported they are fleeing such horrific violence and rape. the kinds of conditions that every single one of us would run from in order to protect our children and our families responding to the growing criticism from democrats and civil rights leaders trump remained defiant asian in a tweet the president referenced the refugee crisis overseas both lee claiming crime in germany is way up big mistake all over europe in allowing millions of
1:18 pm
people in who have so strongly in violently changed their culture in fact the number of crimes in germany last year fell to the lowest in twenty five years but administration officials further defended the hard line border measure with homeland security secretary curious to nielsen putting the blame back on the immigrant parents parents who entered illegally are by definition criminals illegal entry is a crime as determined by congress by entering their country illegally often in dangerous circumstances egal immigrants have put their children at risk republicans insisted democrats must enjoy them to fund it trumps border wall and drastically reduce the number of illegal immigrants admitted to the country trump says as long as democrats resist the border separations will continue to joe castro al-jazeera washington indonesian rescue workers have been battling heavy rains and high waves
1:19 pm
in search of survivors of a ferry sank with possibly eighty people on board the wooden boats went down on lake towboats a popular tourist destination in northern sumatra on monday eighteen people have been rescued the ferry had a capacity of sixty passengers but may have been carrying many more and dozens of motorcycles so fussin as move into gaza. so after departing salmon sea island the scene a bomb on a wooden passenger boat started to sway badly not long after that it capsized completely throwing all its passengers into the lake the authorities say the accident happened mit's bad weather and huge waves. island lies in lake talk about which is the largest for chemical leak in the world and also one of the deepest it's one of indonesia's main tourist attractions most of the passengers were returning from the eve holidays. this dramatic footage
1:20 pm
seems to have been captured by one of the passengers although it can be verified it's not clear how many passengers were on the boat exactly because it's a common practice in indonesia for these kinds of boats to not have any passengers many friends nor any official ticket sales it also seems there were no life else available rescue workers are now searching the leg to look for more survivors. stock market traders in shanghai and hong kong of had a tough day after the u.s. president stressed in china was two hundred billion dollars worth of new tariffs the chinese govern quickly responded by warning of quote strong counter measures in the latest step of the escalating trade war donald trump warned he'll impose a ten percent tariff on chinese imports if china taxes u.s. exports edge and brand joins us live from beijing agent tell us more about this growing trade war. well we've been talking about this growing trade war haven't we
1:21 pm
jane for months now it was almost as if you know terra fatigue was setting in but i think today we got a real strong feeling a realisation that perhaps we really are on the verge of an all out trade war between the world's two largest economies and certainly the markets as you pointed out didn't like what they heard overnight from the united states the shanghai index dropping to below four percent the hang seng index in hong kong falling below three percent but actually elsewhere in the rest of asia the falls have been you know surprisingly low i think that you know for the moment it's almost if the markets have been in denial about the seriousness of the situation but it is getting serious the language from the chinese government was much stronger on tuesday the commerce ministry accused a washington of blackmail the foreign ministry said that washington was making harming the interests not just of china but also of the rest of the world so where
1:22 pm
are we at now well you know trump is basically threatening to impose tariffs on some two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese exports you know at the moment jane china exports far more to the united states than the other way round at the moment i think the figures the latest figures i have show that in two thousand and seventeen china exported some five hundred billion dollars worth of goods to the united states whereas united states sent the other way about one hundred thirty billion dollars worth of u.s. goods that means that the u.s. has more potential terrorist targets than china does so if it does become i think a full blown trade war than china is going to start looking at perhaps you know u.s. businesses here in china if it comes to that now at the moment it seems that both sides are sort of backed themselves into a corner the first tariffs of juda start kicking in. in in about seventeen days
1:23 pm
time on july the six that doesn't give the two sides an awful lot of time to start talking so the prospects i think of a negotiated settlement are starting to seem very remote indeed and i think they're particularly remote because essentially the trumpet ministration is asking president xi jinping to do something they know that he could never agree to and that is to stop the subsidies the chinese government gives to the tech sector essentially shooting ping wants to move china his economy further up the value chain and by doing that he's focusing on the high tech industry but the u.s. feels that you know china is creating an unfair playing field and by these big subsidies that the state sector has received but i don't think shooting ping is going to do that so they're asking the chinese to do something which is impossible which is to change the whole way they do business with the united states thank you
1:24 pm
. the leader of north korea is in china again a motorcade thought to be carrying kim jong un's been seen in beijing state t.v. says he's on a two day visit it's kim's third trip this year to his major ally following the summit with donald trump in singapore. india's reading b j p party has pulled out of the coalition governing india and minister of kashmir prime minister narendra modi's hindu nationalist party entered internet alliance with a regional party after an inconclusive election in twenty fourteen to govern the state let's talk to a whole jalali is a senior journey journalist he joins us now from new delhi very good to see that you for joining us why is the support been withdrawn. so you can come again why has the support been withdrawn. girl this is. a midget falling out of the unilateral cease fire call rich the
1:25 pm
center had given richer new delhi had given me and in jammu and kashmir and the failure of that ceasefire i fall asleep i think the center plans which is new delhi plans to have a hardline approach to a more interest me and p.d.p. the local l.a. was not in for it they wanted a process of dialogue and reconciliation to continue so i think that is one major reason that this would lead to presumably governance rule in jammu and kashmir. and we would be given the security forces would be given a free hand in that in the valley particularly off to the attack especially the attack on a journalist should. on the last day of the penultimate day of a just a day before the visit to the tease where to begin i think that. the death
1:26 pm
nail on the sidelines as well as all these tough policy sent delhi had already did on. the rally i guess that's been an uncomfortable alliance from the start and as you mentioned security is a real problem there isn't it and it seems to be getting a lot was so. well i think you know what's going to happen is if you look at these the lines never work though the two had an agenda of alliance where they both had signed off on a document that suggested that they would take initiatives to it's building peace in the valley which talked about a dialogue process initiating talks with the to do and also in carrying forward a peace program plus bringing the two regions jumble in kashmir together but if you look at every stone it's been a negative result. so obviously the have to end but i think in future it's going to
1:27 pm
be a hard one policy which will be floated because we because remember this is an election year there are there is going to be a national election and b.g.p. had won three seats from general interest me so and these three came from the jungle region one reason for this alliance rick was also that we did be wants to ensure that the again when these three seats and in general region odd nine two it's because to me. right we've. sadly lost or a whole journey that sorry of all i'm going to cut you off we lost we lost we for thank you and a few minutes we'll have the weather with everton fox who's standing by there but still ahead on al-jazeera. amanda gallacher and bogota colombia a nation that just elected its youngest ever president but many people here are wondering who is and do kate is and what will stand for. and it's
1:28 pm
a new disease for the first time addiction to video games gets an official health warning. i'm on the richardson of the world cup in the russian city of volgograd where england got off to a winning if not entirely convincing starts. to . the weather sponsored by cattle. how i once again while the seasonal showers are nicely back on track across central africa has a big downpours in mali seventy millimeters of rain here in twenty four hours and you can see the thunderhead see the usual storms which have been rolling out of the highlands and just not in the way further west was on the easterly ways and in the ivory coast hundred sixty millimeters of rain in twenty four hours that's around half the june average that is a lot of rain and that has inevitably cause some localized flooding further heavy
1:29 pm
showers as we go on through the next couple of days you can see have extended to the gulf of guinea good parts of nigeria certainly central and southern areas of nigeria seeing some very heavy rainfall and push a little further north into new zealand chad could even see some showers cropping up here over the next few days and that's going to be the pattern as we go on through the rest of this week and beyond further north and we are seeing some showers and some of those showers maybe even creeping up into the sahara largely try and find across north africa for wednesday as you can see what two showers creeping into central parts of libya by thursday the further south it's fine and dry across south africa glorious sunshine coming through here no sign of any rain really challenged over the top temperature of one thousand degrees. so whether i can turn our ways. a history of greenland war from. a place on the moon sting. the pew constrained their revolutionary zeal.
1:30 pm
to try and spot their splinter groups damage the palestinian cause or insurance or . chronicling the turbulence and struggle for the palestinian. people no history of a revolution on al-jazeera. we're here to jerusalem bureau covered israeli palestinian affairs we cover this story with a lot of intimate knowledge we covered it with that we don't dip in and out of this story we have presence here all the time apart from being a tremendous source a very important to be a journalist you know the story very well before going into the fields covering the united nations and global diplomacy for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks happen and what happens here matters.
1:31 pm
and again you're watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories this hour yemeni government forces and their allies say they've won the fierce battle to seize control of the day the airport from the rebels but the fighting is still going on in certain pockets in the northern part of the compound. stock market investors in shanghai and hong kong about a tough day off the u.s. president stressing china with china billion dollars worth of new tabs the chinese govern quickly responded by warning of strong counter measures. the largest single influx of migrants to spain for years at least fifteen hundred. trying to cross the mediterranean sea from africa over the weekend comes as more than six hundred migrants arrived in the spanish city of valencia on sunday after their ship was
1:32 pm
turned away from italy and malta. say look at the migration situation affecting your of the main ports of entry into europe for african refugees and migrants crossing the mediterranean spain and italy with most stars in their journeys from the coastlines of morocco and libya but this could change as italy's new prime minister is taking a hardline approach on immigration he's closed ports to enjoy vessels undertaking search and rescue operations spain's new socialist government has promised free health care for refugees and says it will investigate asylum applications on a case by case basis france and germany are the two big destinations of refugees and migrants last year france received more than one hundred thousand asylum requests and germany got about one hundred eighty six thousand applicants french president emanuel mark ronson is the use immigration policy is not working and that is expected to dominate his meeting with the german chancellor angela merkel she's
1:33 pm
also under pressure from her own coalition government to cut immigration. cain is live in what our medical and mclean looking to get out of this meeting that. well the point to make here jane is this is not just a meeting of these two heads of government or head of states in the case this was originally meant to be a joint cabinet meeting today in males about in germany where they would go through the masses of the e.u. not just in terms of immigration but also the e.u. reforms that mr merkel has proposed but as you say this rather that has developed in germany not just in germany but specifically here it feels as though the heat is here about what to do to solve the migration crisis specifically the dublin rules the one rules that apply to people who claim asylum in one place in the e.u. and then go somewhere else where they are likely to dominate this this meeting between the two from angela merkel's point of view what she needs to get from
1:34 pm
a meeting like this and indeed the meeting she had yesterday with the italian prime minister mr conti is some sort of indication whether it's going to be possible to get a deal at the e.u. level whether it's possible to agree some sort of bilateral deal some way of placating those very allies you referred to in your introduction you really don't want to see the situation that has pertained here in germany and in europe for the last three years carrying on any longer let's talk about those negotiations yes as you say on monday metcalfe the go she's a compromise with her allies domestically and i'm wondering what the reaction has been. well many people in the media many of the big organizations whether that be the beagle or newspapers such as the citing in the frankfurter allgemeine zeitung of pointing at the fact that this is a stopgap as it were looking at the reality that what the christian social union has said all is well you have the best part of two weeks to try to make good on
1:35 pm
what you've said to us that you're trying to get these bilateral deals because as i said what they want to see. the c s u wants is a real change almost a repudiation of the policy that angular merkel brought in in the summer of twenty fifteen so far all this compromise that they got out of my call yesterday gives them is the knowledge that anybody who presents himself or the german border asking for asylum but who has some sort of travel ban imposed on them by another e.u. state will now they can be turned back with that it's nowhere near enough for the sorts of voices coming out of the c.s.u. coming out of the various do as i say want this refugee asian policy meeting such as the one taking place today it's very unlikely we're going to hear any progress in meaningful progress from merkel my call to that sort of end question will be what exactly they do say what exactly they keep as it were in check which they want to then come out with in the brussels the summit at the end of next week and after
1:36 pm
the meeting later we'll talk to you again thank you dominic now former israeli minister has been charged with spying for iran go in and say guess who had been living abroad was arrested during a visit to equitorial guinea it was extradited to israel last month on suspicion of committing offenses and assisting the enemy in the war the former energy and infrastructure chief has previously been imprisoned for trying to smuggle ecstasy pills. colombia's new president wants to rewrite the peace still with fuck rebels as well as revive the economy after winning sunday's runoff election evander kane will be colombia's youngest ever leader when he takes office in august at the age of forty two and he got to get reports from bogota. the headlines on the streets of baqubah top talk of unification and victory the face of president elected van dyk a stares back from every page but this political unknown faces decades old challenges he campaigned on law and order and boosting the economy but is
1:37 pm
politically untested. a shallow meaning as i found out about him less than eight months ago i don't know who he is or who he's going to be but i hope you put his hand on his conscience. said 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 predict of decay accuse him of being a puppet of former president alberto hardline who is as popular as he is polarizing the behind pick 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 do pay a critic of those accords will do next. duke is talked about rewriting the peace accord saying the treatment of rebels has been too lenient colombia's
1:38 pm
constitutional court has ruled the agreement can't be tampered with so that may not be easy form a high commissioner for peace daniel garcia pena says dickey is already softening his rhetoric an indication the bulk of the agreement may remain it will be very interesting to see toward 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 bought a route. that will be able to allow the peace process to future. for the see do case status as a newcomer and they would can use favor. not the administrative experience that many of our prior presidents have that also means that he isn't painted by any of the scandals of corruption or any dealings with former shadows overall so in a way it's a blank slate that he has which represents both risk and opportunity. if this is
1:39 pm
a new era in colombian politics 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 to go across to zero colombia the united nations is calling on nicaragua as government invites u.n. monitors to visit without delay protest leaders say the government's refusing to show proof the u.n. has been invited talks to stop two months of bloodshed it stalled critics of president daniel ortega accuse him of involvement in the killing of one hundred eighty practices and are trying to force one time revolutionary kara. from the capital. another protest in the city of my now one marking the second month of an ongoing political crisis that's gripped this country since the eighteenth of april now a national dialogue that was hosted by the catholic church if they got out was ended roughly two weeks ago but once again started only on friday wonder the
