more anatomy of an american city close friends who were lost to the streets i can literally see the future of baltimore to the as. in it does not look rewind on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. and i'm jane dutton this is the news live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the battle for a day the airport the saudi led coalition claims it's in control but intense skirmishes continue. missing their families the tears of the children forcibly removed from their families under the white house's controversial immigration scheme. while the french

president and german chancellor try to agree a policy to protect the welfare of the arriving migrants. and the space arms race donald trump plans for a new military division that's out of this world. and in sport will have all the latest from the world cup where egypt's star striker mohamed salah is widely ted to return for their crucial match against south russia. the saudi emraan she coalition backing the government in yemen says it now controls the airport in her data but fighting with her three rebels is going on in some areas of the airport compound it's the latest developments in the offensive aimed at retaking the city from the rebels mohamed atta is on the other side of the red

sea in djibouti from where much of the aid bound for yemen is rooted what are you hearing about the fighting. well jane residental calling it the most intensive all bottles since the off for the day begun last wednesday the coalition forces cut it all the supplies will not talk starting with al spikes on both the militia positions in order to be a force holding the compound from at least three different forms according to yemen minutes ago sources. to take one of the key runways actually the main one but have been hindered by my posts on the rooftops or buildings us well as mines that it's addictive wanted by the do to diminish their weight and it's quite difficult what bonds will they've been claiming for to take him. about now so

you've to be try to fall to take control all the chaos and deaths hamann also as well as control hala in the airport has been must see exit also for people from neighborhoods that all ending. with the u.n. saying at least twenty five solve them people have fled their homes have been through six people killed when a missile hit on both sides blaming others for targeting civilians now considering how close djibouti is in the role the djibouti plays when it comes to getting aid to give and what are the implications on getting supplies into yemen for the eighty's and starting aid getting into those who need it so badly in the country. well this is the biggest headache jane for the

humanitarian community particularly the aid agencies will set up shop here in djibouti almost every million cool aid organization is to present that you have a problem with humanitarian aid that's going to be huge a medicine for the millions of needy yemenis shipped from just within the week the united nations organizations the world food program united nations children's fund sent to shipments which water it's fun because they feel. the. necessary punishments from the coalition and they're saying they're getting desperate writing articles towards peace and now some of the smaller international agencies using some kind of dust but it is using. boats and barges to take much needed aid to some of the holes in her thank you to those. on the ground. just people have these much needed. in

itself i think is affecting the well houses where the u.n. is holding some of the ground disease are saying that now forced to move some of these aid to other places where the fighting has more pledged all right mohammed let's leave the interview going to talk about this morn had data has been held by the he since twenty fourteen the latest military offensive has been described as one of the biggest battles yet in the three years civil war here's where things stand at the moment as we mentioned earlier there is a fierce fight ever had a desire for it while the terminal has been destroyed taking the runway depending on its condition is vital for the society in iraq he led coalition to fly in reinforcements government troops are preaching from the strip of land to the south along the coast elsewhere air strikes have targeted the supply line. to the north and east while ships offshore have been used to bombard targets in the city and

then there's a day's port which receives eighty percent of yemen's food imports it's fighting for delivering goods and much needed aid the coalition the accuses the youth ease of using it to smuggle in weapons and said it provides huge revenue to the armed group and its creators and assistant professor of defense studies at the king's college london he joins us now from london on skype always good to see you again if you heard our correspondent there but he's already describing the fighting that's taking place the thousands of ready been displaced i mean this is going to be a horrific battle isn't it. yes i mean it's over the last couple of years we've seen a couple of horrific battles in the middle east and theater you know we've seen aleppo we've seen mosul we've seen in the data is going to be one of these other big battles because what the problem are always is highly densely populated areas trying to clear these areas from non-state actors who are embedded in the civilian population who are dug in and have nothing to lose and then you have

a semi conventional military trying to clear these areas and there's always going to be difficult and data is a densely populated area as well six hundred thousand people or so has been said already and i think what the coalition is trying to do now is obviously and they're well advised to do so is trying to avoid civilian casualties as much as they can they're trying to seize two very strategic spots one is the data port and one is the airport first of all to cut off the supply lines to these and secondly to create supply lines and helping to reinforce their own supply lines the issue with that is you know the plan as it stands right now is they're trying to push towards the towards the who do the port that's the ultimate goal taking the airport is also very vital because it's on route but i think what they're trying to do now is to try to create an end and surrounding the inner city in order to avoid going into the inner city and trading of the supreme court next the issue with that is going to be there who these will not just be starved to death as maybe other non-state

actors have they will always try to fight another day and the issue with that is going to be that even if you seize the airport and the port you will have continued as it continues fighting in disruption from the who are these who will be in the pocket of the who data city and that will be a continual continuous struggle and that's possibly why this came out i'm going to read you something from a u.a.e. news agency the arab coalition forces have stated that iranian backed militias in yemen have directly targeted civilian populations in the region that's northwest of here data do you think this is them absolving themselves before the battle because they know that people are going to die thousands of people are going to be killed by them. yes i mean this is a is one of these excuses that we've heard from all kinds of state actors and coalitions over the years the west including it is very very difficult as i say to clear up a civilian do a wings from non-state actors that are embedded there and the accusation has always

been the israelis have made that accusation time again against hamas that they are basically using humans as humanitarian or as human shields as civilians as human shields the same legislation now the saudi and the u.a.e. making two words there were these but the fact is that in an urban environment and this is an open environment and we will inevitably see urban combat as part of this operation one way or the other the number one obviously both parties have responsibility to protect civilians and given the fact that the who these are in a civilian environment the coalition has to take equal precaution in not to start not to strike these kind of areas which becomes increasingly difficult and so you engines and i just jump in here i mean you want is going to keep an eye on this we know that both sides have committed atrocities the u.n. is warning of grave dangers and not to break international law but who's going to actually stop them considering the international coalition support the possibly the

iranian support that they haiti's have i mean he's going to he's going to pull them back. nobody's going to pull anybody back that. have some leverage but limited leverage over that with these it is completely wrong to display the who these as a merely an iranian surrogate that would be a has have existed without iran before and they will continue to exist without iran and they have survived regardless of where they were whether they were in the northern modernize areas cut off from supply lines their very their survivability is very high than it needs very little to survive the coalition on the other hand needs a lot more to survive and even here the international community has given there's so many green light to go ahead with this operation despite the fact that we know that the humanitarian impact of that operation is going to be immense i mean there will be you not just human suffering there will be huge atrocities committed among was going population just inevitably by the way that this operation is going to be conducted in the international munity britain america france have allowed the saudis in the iraqis to go ahead despite all this despite the fact that this

coalition has proven time and again they have very negligent when it comes to human to international humanitarian law and very clumsy in the execution and implementation of this plan they are not inexperienced military and they are using surrogates on the ground who are not experienced and who disregard international law so both sides of pretty much a wild card that they're playing in this room and the ones who are suffering oh this is going on the ground and yes thank you. other news now the fight for control of two oil terminals in libya is escalating the damage to the production facilities and spark concern about the impact of libya's already struggling economy which relies hugely on oil production for revenue wall or telephone have to send reinforcement to back troops battling a rival group fighters with abraham judge took two plants from have to on thursday he's now moved to regain control. of the lead is with me live from tripoli so if

anything it seems that the battle is intensifying. well again according to security sources in the oil and a brigade called or one hundred fifty three a brigade infantry brigade has been sent to the enforcement to have to us forces in the oil a christian but so far there is no direct confrontations between the two sides and the last couple of days witnessed only shelling from a distance and also with the possible exception of raids conducted by have to force but so far the situation is very tense despite that quite there but it's been it it's very tense and the clashes could be renewed at any moment there are. stuff in the way they have received twenty eight bodies of fighters belonging to in the

weren't quite as sharp that said there does now really appear to be a growing realisation that we are in fact on the verge of an all out trade war between the world's two largest economies now on tuesday the language coming from china's government was much stronger the commerce ministry accused washington of blackmail the foreign ministry said that the united states was harming the interests not just of china but also the rest of the world a spokesman saying that while china did not want a trade war it was quite prepared to fight what now at the moment china exports far more to the united states than the other way around that means that the u.s. has far more potential terrorist targets than china does but it's quite possible that china could start punishing washington in other ways by focusing on big u.s. companies based here in china now at the moment president trump appears to be

saying to the chinese government i want you to change the way that you can talk business with the united states that means possibly president cheating thing having to roll back his made in china twenty twenty five strategy this is one of his pet projects to move china up the value chain by focusing much more on high tech but china has absolutely no intention of doing that so given that we have just seventeen days before the first of these tariffs are due to kick in it's fair to assume that the chances of a negotiated settlement now are very slim indeed because china has no intention of giving up on that china twenty twenty five strategy and this face my head and then is including. hopes of finding survivors in indonesia an overcrowded ferry capsizes and sinks. a bad apple in australia the tech giants find but why were i phone

customers misled and in sport why is disgraced former president about to make an appearance at the world cup. war 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 met in one hundred 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

in south sudan the hundreds of thousands of muslim or head injury flooding into bangladesh from neighboring million man 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 if the world's refugees were 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 philip or grounded a 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 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 report that donate 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 up sixty eight million refugees and displaced eighty five percent are not in rich countries they are in poor 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 for those that move for different reasons the immigration issue and the way in which different countries deal with it is coming under close scrutiny by far the most controversial policies in the united states with families that try to cross the us mexico border without documentation of being forcibly split the practice is drawing criticism from across the political spectrum but president trump says he will not allow america to become a migrant camp castro's report begins with a harrowing recording of children who have been separated from their families. 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. this is so heartbreaking it's so challenges the conscience of that 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 claiming crime in germany is way up big mistake all over europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently change 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 hardline border measure with homeland security secretary curious to nelson 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

a trauma's border wall and drastically reduce the number of legal immigrants admitted to the country trump says as long as democrats resist the border separations will continue. castro al-jazeera washington is cos its can really help it live in washington d.c. so we believe that donald trump will be meeting with republican leaders and capitol hill and that's going to play out. well the moral outrage in the united states continues to build as the president is digging in on his hardline policies you're right he's heading to capitol hill to speak with the public and lawmakers many of whom are very conflicted about the president's stance with regard to separating families prosecuting those who enter the country illegally so he will be out there about twenty one g.m.t. even as some democrats are calling for the homeland security secretary to nielsen

the castors report just a moment ago calling for her resignation so there's definitely a lot of pushback in the united states but we have to remember in all of this that this policy is not a new policy the difference now is that it's being enforced and any crime in the united states if a parent is accused of any crime they are separated from their children as the republicans who are supportive of this policy are accusing their democratic opponents of turning this into an election issue knowing that those images of weeping children will polarize the electorate and certainly when you look at some opinion polls it does seem to be working kimberly thank you. well in europe votes of migrants continue to brave the treacherous waters of the mediterranean in search of safety already this week fifteen hundred arrived in southern spain that's in addition to the six hundred aboard the aquarius the rescue ship that was denied entry to both italy called pineville. on the southeast coast

of spain. we're here in the control room of spain's marine rescue center in the port of ameria and personnel here in front of screens in a radar are on high alert for the possible arrival of more refugees and migrants aboard these rickety fishing vessels they call pâté others now if you look out that way that's one hundred miles or one hundred sixty kilometers to the coast of morocco and that is from where in the last four days fifteen hundred refugees and migrants have headed towards both our maria and points further south personnel here say that they have seen nothing like it that level of arrivals in such a short period of time is really putting them under pressure already figures this year at twice as high as at the same period last year what generally happens in this control room is that they will get their first alert perhaps by telephone perhaps by radio from an ngo from another vessel or directly from the

terror itself and they will call and say they are in distress from here they make the call to helicopter a helicopter will be up into the air searching the area trying to locate the migrant vessel and then from there the characteristic orange search and rescue vessels will head out trying to locate and pick up those migrants and refugees and bring them back here to shore over the weekend personnel here say that there was a ship wreck they managed to pluck four survivors from the sea but they say that somewhere out there there is still at least forty bodies of migrants and refugees that simply didn't make it. it's being in germany k. he's got more on this story there len and the discussions that have been taking place today i believe you've got something to tell us. yes they will be hearing from the president mike on from chancellor merkel within the hour

a news conference here in the german capital but it's quite possible they might be asked questions about this document that i have here which is which purports to be from the council of europe basically one of the main institutions of the e.u. because there's a summit coming up in brussels at the end of next week now what's in these draft conclusions we have to remember draft conclusions come and go what matters is the final document that will emerge from that summit but inside this document are references to the e.u. committing to setting up regional centers on in countries on the borders of the e.u. to try to help to filter between those who come as economic migrants in this document said and those who seek fleeing war zone seeking refuge also in this document it suggested that member states and i refer to the specific element it says that concerning the situation internally in the secondary movement of asylum seekers

between member states puts the integrity of the asylum system severely at risk member states should take all necessary internal legislative and administrative measures to counter such movements and to work with each other to achieve that that's exactly what angle americal as being calling for she's been talking about the need for a prime european solution but also to have the freedom of movement for bilateral deals between countries between member states she's been meeting the leaders of other member states this week last week she met the australian the excuse me the austrian chancellor she met the italian prime minister today she meets the french president and the other thing to say here is this reference to those who sought asylum somewhere else in the. you and i'm moving inside the e.u. to other countries well that's what this rare with her sister party the c.s.u. it's been all about the interior minister here from the c.s.u. course they hope for says he wants to be able to send those people back home now we

have in this document which is uncorroborated i have to say but it does appear to bear all the hallmarks of something that would come from the council the council of ministers at the european union but it suggests that that is very much on the agenda now but as i said clearly it's uncorroborated i mean the draft conclusions we have to wait to see what will be agreed by twenty eight member states and there's no suggestion necessarily that all twenty eight states will agree with what's written here ok got it thank you dominic and it's time for the weather everton's fox looking at the rolling storms in the u.s. i believe yeah that's right john we've had some very heavy rain across southern parts of in talking about those for the last few days down in the deep south further north has been taken down as well and you can see from the satellite picture they sangria looking line of storms up towards the lakes anywhere from the player is pushing at which was that eastern side of canada and it really has been extremely wet here and you see that area cloud really going nowhere fast see the big heavy rain then so we've got this weather system here and further south and

eve holidays. this dramatic footage 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 manifest nor any official ticket sales it also seems there were no life else available rescue workers are now searching the link to look for more survivors the chief minister of india in kashmir has resigned after the p. pulled out of the coalition the stage is likely to be directly administered by a governor reporting directly to the new b j p's blaming a recent upsurge in violence in the disputed territory between india and pakistan. those who are control over the main leadership of the state they were not completely successful in dealing with the situation in kashmir we do not question

secretary general called them the forgotten victims of war who suffer shame stigma and exclusion the u.n. wants to see more women involved in peacekeeping and security but last year only one hundred twenty three female officers receive training for un peacekeeping operations. this is a major problem saucer down with thousands of women have been raped during five years of civil war many children have suffered sexual assault especially by soldiers as morgan reports from the capital many attack victims have had little or no medical help. selling firewood is a lifeline for. it's the only commodity to sustain herself and her five children the twenty seven year old is one of the forty thousand displaced persons in this united nations camp but collecting firewood outside the camp can be dangerous. we were a group of women and went to collect firewood outside the camp five soldiers found

us and we ran i fell and they pointed their guns at me and then raped me and left me there i came back to the camp and was too ashamed to get treatment. is one of thousands of women in the camp of being raped during the five year war since president salva kiir accuses president riek machar of attempting a coup thousands have been killed and four million displaced that's a third of the population. although thousands of women have reported rape and other sexual atrocities in south sudan sewer rats organizations say the figure is likely much higher that's because many don't report out of fear many children have been sexually assaulted to nearly all warring sides in south sudan's conflicts have been accused of committing sexual violence the african union and the u.n. say the attacks in some cases amount to crimes against humanity. there's a massive program of violence. they displaced people themselves as well as those who fled to subject to atrocious levels of sexual exploitation and abuse matter and

generated an era fifty three message which stopped their device from working in saudi or those people took their products into an apple shop like this one they were told that they'd go on the air at fifty three minutes each because it revealed that they had taken a device at some point so an unauthorized repair of an apple said that as a result of that they had no bill to gauge into a pair it's all replacing the australians can see the regulator has said no just because somebody types of run before i turn on all of the riser parrot does not invalidate a little study it's been seen over text messages like that about apple as a result and asked for a price all the broken bones i'm a nine million australian dollars and that's about six million us dollars boy well this was an issue that affected people all over the world so australia is unlikely to be the last place by such a point. still ahead. in sports will be hoping. to return for the crucial world cup match against russia.

the us president has called on the pentagon to create a new american space for it to become a branch of the military that would need congressional approval. repeatedly to send people back to the main for the first time since one thousand 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 america it is not enough to merely have in american presence in space we must have american dominance in space so important for mass noise and the second man to land on the moon buzz aldrin spoke out on twitter and his excitement saying today is a historic moment with president trump expressing his intention to create a sixth branch of the military a space force united states space force way can see david illnesses a former nasa astronaut who joins us now from houston in texas on skype are you as excited as buzz does this make sense kind of happen. good morning i guess i don't share the excitement. i would miss two of my or special missions were military missions and i found that the system that we had or.

organizing and executing military space spaceflights was very very well done during those periods and we currently have a u.s. air force base command and i don't see that there is going to be any real change by creating a six branch of the service in fact i think it is a large waste of money ok because donald trump was the city's worried about. you know the future destiny beyond the earth is not any a matter of national identity but an a matter of national security i'm just one wondering so you what he said about out there. well i think if there's good reason to worry about. competitors are ever serry out of it might be again a presence in space and i think that that's that's

a very valid concern i mean to do that when you have to colonize space or you're not to do that you know. of i think that we're talking about two separate things one is the formation of the space forces because that is basically just taking the. military side aspect of space that would be you know putting satellites into orbit for example to be able to observe. our adversaries on the on the ground. all the things that the department of defense currently goes and basically that part of this is program would just transfer those assets and those personnel from the the u.s. . air force to a sixpence of the service so i don't really see any change in the policy there the

other aspects that he's talking about though are are. changing our goal our immediate goals from. perhaps going directly to mars to going to the moon for example which i i think i agree with i think that that say a reasonable thing to do and i think he's reiterating the importance of space so i don't think anyone's arguing with that but i think there's a form a life imitating. and as you say possibly this is a waste of time what should they rather be focusing on hasn't moved from also the moon to mazas is that the next big object to aim for. well i think so i think that everyone has their eyes on what boris is the ultimate. point of which planet we want to focus our states exploration. on but i think going back to the moon establishing

a base there we haven't been there since one nine hundred seventy two and all our efforts. as far as manned exploration have seen no sort of there or progress since that time and so i think that many astronauts including myself feel that going back to the moon is is a is a good goal and would allow us to. use it as a jumping off point for our future exploration to asteroid a sort of beyond like a day of it's wonderful to talk to david helms. if.

where ever you. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave the group just. when people need to be heard to women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you the award winning documentaries and live news and out of iraq i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on air and online.

but i really don't know how to define it it's not possible for me to the thing that's it's just one on those things that you feel this is yes yes i believe in this i'm so i'm not but i'm an independent on a mission for america. that's a vote the idea that. affords dongle raised. it's about it's about the believing in your dreams it's about them. as a filmmaker i would want my audience to support that when men begin first as a unit i would definitely want my audience to be a jumble with it and say yes this is what i want and. i have tried to be very honest with the film the story isn't mine yes i did rip it off from my sister was a childhood incident she was the one who planted chocolate all of them so i have to put an element of my childhood off but i suppose in my influences that i've had. the little incidents that used to take place in my own backyard i have cried

a little bit of everything to stay honest to the whole thing but still big the whole even from my point of view. i'm trying to create that language where this kid is a shy kid and he doesn't speak to that is how i ended up not giving him more. than a word the need to be i wanted him to express through the i just didn't want to shout and scream and cry just assure that his discipline i wondered something which is very subtle that he expresses but it's very an expression is a shy kid although he doesn't speak he would still stand up for his dreams for his belief. the nation will give you a lot of difficulty because you know the rules but when it when it comes down the flipping those pages and understanding animation or everything goes for cost at least my first five line drawings follow and for it all because i don't know what

the book like i did and they were not working on though there was this one man that i started to like and i said yes i'm going to go it's really ok. i can't tell you the number of problems that i i phased. to bang my head was i would not have been on a mission right when again making baghdad on the lake my mind was always walking in one particular direction because i have been born and brought up but those are the images that have come across all the bank so i know what i sat there all i ever knew my exposure maybe a school a clue that i ended up drawing the same bank owns all that by. mixing what that along with digital it gives you more freedom then it kind of gave me the opportunity to relate going forward about that on one on a digital and then who's these are not totally their shows and all luck and

knowledge of them and that i'm good an image their lives we do live here. if i have to visualise my kitchen. i don't visualise a doctor because those are the on those that i haven't been in no make that when i see it i see here that there could have been a better shot than i could have taken a shot sort of an establishment. you know the follow on building the animation i just wanted to call it what i what what my mind makes me think like the immediate damage that comes to my mind is when i will go away. from this one phone because of the kind of film and those and also tell you about the soul of this guy and i just wanted to follow the sort i just wonder before i

make. stuff as if it doesn't have structure i don't mean it's ok and i'm fine with that that are. news is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people. and you need to be backed you need to be able to reach people. and that means being of course. this is where our audience lives as well as in front of a t.v. they're almost smart for their own that's have their own their confusion. and that's the way.

it really is the international perspective that sets al-jazeera hard other news outlets the first set out to be adding up to three power outages mean journalism is about public service and making a difference in people's lives i'm amazed every day by reporting on al-jazeera and the places that my colleagues go it inspires me to take a different approach to how i was heartened your. life in the islands fringing the antarctic peninsula is abundant the place of

seemingly endless ferrante the whole region is richly biodiverse a living example of how things are pretty much free from the influence of money. getting to see the astonishing want life here is by no means straightforward the weather makes everything a challenge the environment where wildlife is living is incredibly fragile incredibly delicate little threats to their updates from climate change to cruel fishing and then of course there's this tourism the number of tourists coming down here it's a beginning of the two thousands for somewhere on full five thousand a year we're now over thirty thousand people a year. is still. in pretty good shape but it's apparent this unique landscape needs to be very carefully managed as multiple threats begin to loom on the horizon .

spanning six continents across the dune. zeros corresponding sleeping brain the stories they tell you have. no opinions about not unless you. were at the mercy of the raj camp for palestinian for. food in world news al-jazeera is very assertive style their reality as it is i thought they would work on the back they call it modern slavery for indonesia every day not only breaking news story and a very fascinating country but very difficult to understand from the outside because i've been living here for sixty years i know very well what's going on and i go out there and the whole country and even. al-jazeera gives the opportunity for a journalist to be real journalist. one of the really special things that work in progress here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to

a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be pushes you know it's very challenging to believe but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues from the hills of northern greece the places in turkey where refugees hideouts before trying to cross or to see the crossing countries means crossing the intimidating river more and more refugees are attempting this route even though they know how dangerous it is even outside the risk of drowning or dying of cold in these huge empty spaces any number of refugees have told us that confessions and forcibly turned around by greek police acting in coordination with from texas the european union for the agency. this eighteen year old syrian was in this. smugglers' boats with his younger sister . the police came up to us in that boat they told us you can cross they made us turn around the police who previously given us access to their fence and border patrols gave us a statement denying that they turn any refugees around and claim their priority is

human dignity. but human rights advocates say they know pushbacks happen all the time and accuse the greek government of breaking international. for twenty three years mohsin has collected objects he finds along the coast. enough to fill his museum enough to break a guinness world record. with a story for every object he's become an environmental activist and inspired artist and a voice for the plight of countless migrants. might use in such on al-jazeera. again i stand close to the girl's geology both mentally resources and. why are they so poor emotional you guys would finally form a government. of the toxin with essentially nowhere the more we would push them the

more they push back we knew it was coming to question was do we sit back and wait for do we surprised them with a preemptive strike on the body or analogy zero. the battle for data airport the saudi led coalition claims it's in control but intense sketches continue. them jane that mrs al-jazeera live from was a coming up the french president and german chancellor meet as pressure grows to limit the entry of migrants. china says it's not afraid of a trade off to president charms latest tariffs right. the nicaraguan government accused of not acting on an agreement to.
