being on the wall of that said would have to be trained how do you say. it was then. quickly realized. that myself to a place i never would have gone. today the prime minister. or announcing a major initiative to combat the scourge of people smuggling. arrives in australia by boat you have no chance of being settled in australia as refugees if they're found to be genuine refugees they'll be resettled in papa new

guinea. she told us briefly you came after me. so you never come to australia you have to go. alone of them or we will. tell you. there were two guards they grab your hands. they put you in the airplane. chairs in the first they put them. rule.

the law now but then and i can let us off i think you ought my fisher. and in regards. to night it would seem. she forest management approach me to go up there in a training role. to try and expect stuff. in the

position of safety and security officer. i've known users of prison officer. the only people that i had experience with was criminal world. one of the worst accommodation. a world war two have made a team on a concrete floor. one hundred twenty two parents in this shade. it was discussed in. the i would i was disgusting. but this couldn't believe i was looking. most of. this if i think

jail to meet. the men who have had loved him behind. those faces open faces on the ground. men didn't have enough clothes. men didn't have shoes. they didn't have enough drinking water those malaria. sickness disease infection. the message is simple. if you come to australia illegally by bugs there is no way you will ever make this try to hire. the act of seeking asylum is not illegal because it's a rot. it's a rock that arises under the universe ticks the russian and human rights and it's also a rock that iran's sunda a range of international human rights treaties such as the refugees convention. it

was an understanding between countries that when people was seeking protection from persecution that they could cross a border i could see protection. and destroy this on up towards the strain he said yes we decide who comes into this country and we decide by signing this convention that we'll let refugees come here. and we'll let them come as they come everywhere else in the world we'll let him come i see. it's quite obvious that you can't just set out to send to the home. and it's not supposed to be a holiday. but it took about six weeks i think for them to start to degrade

mentally. eight years. to. these minute near. ground. zero or. one series. or you might bring. the whole concept of indefinite detention is this idea that there is no progress. if you have a criminal instructor here you say you've committed

a crime your punishment is two years in jail when you've got this three sentences prison and you can count down the days. for these men they didn't have them. and they're seeing daily so. for a day. i saw men cut their stomach open with glass. and one man take a fluorescent light to bend beatty himself across the head and stabbed himself.

men suffocating men so men stitching the lips men some one man stitches islet they incredibly traumatized from where they are coming from what they seeking asylum from and they're being traumatized. by their current situation. their families are separated and they stay noyo prospect of them ever being reunited. they see no hope for the future. looms of a. claim that says. we're going to close.

one. of the. towers. how would. you do that as he thought that the little you know what i mean and. you need to know that this is going to feel. it will add it in a way to. the deterioration amongst all the asylum seekers no matter what their age is probably what hardest. children have to be in detention according to our sins because terrence. in the

tension of the time. they develop a ranch or a disorder. as a book. they are not you know open charities terror dissipate and enormous that's activities that children require for development. and then i have parents who are. sick as well who end up nothing on the panther. and there's some very young babies in detention who are not fading probably not going why dialing described as the medical term soul is really harmful for children. but it's considered the price it's required to stop but. let's you know this is. the way this is. the use of by i.d.'s as

names is rampant. children will saw and. what they've drawn with their plate id children will. their friends but id. there in the same. way they way. that they actually. feel any guilt or any going to one of them but. none whatsoever and they owe the route thirteen year old. male the most compassionate thing you can do is stop the bad we have to stop the bad. because some time that they were being persistent and would get actions of serious

physical and sexual abuse of children and women cost right in there were. after a very long time this led to the government setting up an inquiry. which ultimately ended up with what's called a must report. if a sexual has behavior. that. touching. or touching other kids in a sexualized then. they

are. under fire. nari place for trying to investigate a way. to tell him. if you kids around. the place full swear very slowly and you often say nerver so. yeah so there's been there are repercussions but i know. those are in train one afternoon. one of the transferees

was outside. it started to rain. the rain came to take an hour and his possessions were getting wet. i was standing at the door of his room. he walks in briskly and i wasn't afraid i wasn't worried i didn't think anything of it but two experts here in new zealand industry and security guards will go over to where he was in the room and bade him against the wall and twisted his back over a metal bed frame and punched him unconscious. eventually i was interviewed by police. they shut the door behind me and they threatened me and told me that i should change my statement. they gave me all of the other witness statements that were fresh and salvation army manager exactly

what i saw and had written something completely different. so i changed my statement to say that two friends only pushed him. didn't know what to do at that time. to get out of that situation. we recognize that alpha order protection policy is tough. we recognize many would see it as harsh but it has been proven to be the only why to stop those drafts that say. the argument is that we've got a right to. put refugees through hell on their children through hail

because it will stop people dying better that they be mashed up in the root and mama silent than died see. and the deaths are cool. but i think he's profoundly hypocritical profoundly hypocritical to claim that the policies that are being pursued at the moment by these trends in government. fundamentally humanitarian because they stop these deaths. a landing rate from its indigenous people. plundered for its resources. in the long held resentment is a turn in violent with deadly consequences you cannot do is use that as an

excuse to go over should practice people in power travels to south america to discover the finds of the misconceived and algis and. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to the forest so it would just be all when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new award winning documentaries and live news and out of iraq i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on air and online. candid testimonies from lebanese women who are staying single longer. what's causing this cultural shift in a society already be set by religious and social tensions. and are there

a chance things. now as well sort of your eyes come. don't move on from within to look at them as. might be on them that you're on a mere hunch it's not that good you. can do magic when you don't have one. but who. do you want to push to have. me this. or them too much feel about us rather part puzzle that only.

you know when to quit which is. who. is the go to reach. we're. going to. be. a twenty four year old aronian asylum seeker has died in a brisbane hospital tonight after his family agree to have his life support machines which stop. hammad because they are was pronounced branded earlier this week after reportedly suffering blood poisoning from an infected court you start think it was flying from an asylum to brisbane last week scott morrison says the

immigration department we're here for medical treatment for. myself in two of my colleagues very explicitly about medical concerns in particular infection starting in the city. then a couple months later harmon kills a still died of an infection starting in his foot and we had already told them months before and that's documented day time when everything what we had said is transcribed we had a senate inquiry into the death of reza berati and i don't see anything changing. i don't know what can help the man in man is found. all the people in mary. we are telling the paper what's happening that nothing's changing.

destroying minister for immigration and border protection i've recorded this message to provide some important information you will know by now the plans are well on the watch for the first group of refugees to travel and settle in cambodia cambodian settlement presents a great opportunity for refugees to move forward and begin the next phase of their lives in a country that is free from persecution. history is now in a refugee partnership which can do. even on pain the deals being done astray is provided a forty million dollars down payment an additional. refute g.'s from newbury would be voluntarily since here in the months it is. no use to take part and will be moving to one of southeast asia's poorest nations where the average wage is

less than one hundred dollars a month the cambodia deal shows that a strike you can spend any amount of money doing pretty much anything to asylum seekers and the striving people will accept it because. we don't want him here. i want to make it very clear to all refugees and transpiration in the room that she will not under any circumstances be settling in australia this is not an option that they strike out with or ever present. the current options for refugees on the road. i raise it to live in the community

there temporarily to go to cambodia or to return hime the real prospect the persecution. of people that say marriage means a good settlement option. you get. very high. there wasn't. even had any. really because. they have no travel. they have. a live. you have to.

leave behind. and they. say when you get out of. a lot of the women are very scared to go into the community.

and the rule of government has declared that the detention center will become an i didn't think twenty four hours per day seven days per week from today it is all the solemn sega's and they'll freeze a move around the island and they will look. the ruse promising it will finalize all remember if you do claims will be the next week hundreds will have to integrate into the tiny islands populi said. and the astounding government dante decided to give things paper as they released into the narrow communities particularly given that we men and children sixty seven allegations of child abuse thirty three claims of rights and sexual assault can the australian government guarantee. the. coins are little new south wales victoria

government can provide you with that guarantee for people coming out into the destroyed saudi. we've provided additional support through the strength it requires to mentor those poise all about rosa hope was just a guy she was with prosecutions so much of what we can provide support for. people who are returning home more now than they ever were. returning to their country of origin and then attempting to seek asylum again in a different country. nothing's changed for them in their home countries often they'll state that they are returning to extreme danger. it's really hard to hear that they feel that that's their only option. it's hard to feel. proud to be in this trailing citizen it's there's

a lot of shame now associated with being in this trailing for myself because of the way staley's trading pay paul. i keep going back for clients and for my colleagues. you have clients when you go on your best buy say the before you're going i claim that place come back please don't forget about us please don't leave us here. so that is really hard to hear and you want to come back for them. you want something to change in me want to advocate for them and fight for them and. that keeps bringing me back but that feeling. gets worn down by the constant blockages you get from immigration the lack of trained.

operational wise everything i was trying to bring to the attention of management nothing's been done in bed. i got to a personal level move. this is going to stop and i can't stop what. i was becoming emotional and there's a lot of stress is starting to to fall upon me. because i voiced my opinion my only about what we were doing is an account you. are founder a hand written out on more big suggestion that. i should shut up or somehow i would come to myself. and then i was to do a messy which that i continued on that the great

possibility that i would be found floating. along so a guy to miss tools at some stage. that scared me but really did. and i pull the pin was another half. it sat with me for quite a number of months and if i didn't speak again who was going to. get a conscience and i was bored up right why. and i don't understand how we can do this to each other. i felt that there was more to learn more time but that was the right thing to do. people need to talk up. we need to tell each other what's going on.

i think australians are pretty sick of being lectured to i really think australians as sick of being lectured to by the united nations particularly the tick uli given that we have stopped the butts. of. the. in the. thousands are stranded at sea about the pm says he doesn't follow encourage people

welcome back myself at the weather in the strait here first of all it's looking largely fine now we've got dry conditions for sydney bruce been melbourne mean by across western australia also looking dry for perth highs of eighteen moving through to friday not a great deal of change expected to be honest conditions in many parts of the country so what about new zealand well here with heavy rains for in the north

island of last few days certainly cloud a picture here with the chance of some rain at times in oakland but you get further south generally it's a dry picture christchurch not particularly warm but temperatures across the south on the low side but never less weather conditions are largely drawing and that will continue as we head on through into friday but other states o'loghlin should be seeing some dry weather returning so heading up into northeastern parts of asia we've had some really heavy rain affecting parts of southern japan so have been some red weather warnings out for the japan meteorological agency the rain is still flirting with some of the sudden on isn't very close to tokyo during the course of thursday so it may well come and go but be prepared for some heavy rain and then heading through into friday the rain begins to push away towards the south it's fine across the korean peninsula but the chance of showers in beijing with high seer of twenty nine.

al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara sarah this is the news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes donald trump signs an executive order to end a controversial policy that's of thousands of migrant children separated from their parents former detainees from new e.u.

run prisons in yemen speak out about alleged a systematic sexual torture by an iraqi guards a grim milestone on world refugee day the u.n. says a record sixty eight point five million people have been forced from their homes. and in sport will have all the latest from the world cup in russia diego costa left spain to a one zero win over iran they join portugal at the top of the grid. donald trump has signed an executive order the end of the practice of separating migrant parents and their children at the u.s. border the order directs the fence department to provide facilities to detain families together after the parents have been arrested and this comes after days of mounting pressure on donald trump's zero tolerance immigration policy white house

correspondent kimberly halkett reports. you could have a lot of happy people faced with escalating outrage president trump has reversed his policy of separating families who enter the united states illegally we're going to have strong very strong borders but we're going to keep the families together i didn't like the site but a feeling of families being separated that means those who enter the u.s. illegally will still be prosecuted continuation of trumps zero tolerance border policy but while they await a hearing before an immigration judge parents will no longer be separated from their children. than pressure on the administration had been mounting centered around trump and his homeland security secretary kirsten nielsen demonstrators interrupted her dinner at a washington restaurant on tuesday night in protest of the child separations if you're really really but. the country is going to be overruled with many people

trumps executive order is only a temporary solution to the broader problem of immigration reform that stymied lawmakers for decades meeting at the white house republicans argued for measures to stop migrants entering the united states then disappearing without a hearing before an immigration judge as president you're going to rule by if you. take. the children to be separate if you live in the country they never show. seems to me that we want to keep the family together. but democrats dispute trops claim that he was simply enforcing the law when it comes to separating children from their parents democrats argue it was a choice b. uses what amounts to government sponsored child abuse as political leverage a bargaining chip in his effort to force through an extremist immigration agenda we can enforce our immigration laws without breaking families apart. the

administration says it wants congress to act and we are feeling the pressure congress is poised to act on thursday the u.s. house of representatives will vote on legislation to stop family separations but the broader issue of immigration reform is yet to be resolved kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house the tone javits is the vice president of immigration policy at the center for american progress and he joins us live now from washington d.c. sir thank you so much for joining us here on the we heard the president and the vice president just a few hours ago say that they were going to continue their zero tolerance approach and policy to immigration but not separate the families is the two things compatible yeah i want to be crystal clear the administration today did not do anything that will end family separation the executive order that the

administration announced today is going to set up a family incarceration camps on department of defense facilities around the country but the executive order itself acknowledges that that is not a long term solution and kids will not be allowed to remain in those facilities for the duration of their proceedings the court that the executive order specifically says are going to go back to a court to request that a court allow them to do what they fully acknowledge and recognize this point is not lawful so all this does really is delay a future family separations for a few weeks but we're going to bring me back where we are again right now in probably just a few weeks so day and as this is an executive order addressed in any way what's going to happen to the two thousand plus children that have already been separated from the parents. no not at all so the executive order says nothing about the nearly twenty five hundred kids who've been taken from their children we know that some of those parents already have been deported to their countries and have no idea where their kids are or when or whether they'll ever see them again we know

that the government is not communicating effectively internally and not even you know everyone in the government knows where these kids are and who they need to be reunited with and that makes sense of course right because some of those kids are pre-verbal they're two years old eighteen months old they can't tell the parents the foster family that they're winning who their parents are so they've really created a humanitarian crisis here and b idea that we're going to be incarcerating tens of thousands of families together indefinitely which is their vision is no more humane there would be a lot of pressure on the trumpet ministration to address this issue i mean since news of it started coming out it's been incredibly well divisive not just in the u.s. but really across the world so what do you think he was trying to achieve with this executive order if as you say it doesn't really address the issue. i think what he's trying to do is shift the blame and the reality is the president didn't need an executive order today the president and his administration created this very

policy that's resulted in this outrage they're the ones who decided to start prosecuting all of these people who are coming across the border requesting asylum there who decided to start separating families even when they go to our ports of entry to request asylum at the ports of entry right so they stood up these policies they tore apart these families finally they started getting blamed for it and they decided to try and shift the conversation but really we're going to end up again once these detention facilities are stood up and once they go back to a federal court to ask them to please after the fact allow them to do what they're doing you know already is probably where we are going right now we're going to have a lot of facilities up that are very expensive that are housing families for a short period of time and then they going to start tearing families apart and we're going to see that i think in not too long i mean you're saying that you think donald trump's done this to shift the blame and i know it's just a few hours since this announcement was made but do you think he's been successful so far from what you're seeing you know following the u.s. media and and you know you're in washington hearing people around you do you think

that this issue will die down temporarily. i mean i will say having watched the opening package before i came on air and seeing how well this is being described as executive order to stop the practice of family separation a practice that he created out of whole cloth that he is solely responsible for i do fear that there's going to be a lot of misunderstanding around this but again i also think that there are a lot of over paying attention to this they're ready to try and fight back and this is just delaying the inevitable so i think we're going to see this issue continue to bubble and eventually explode once again tom javits fi's president of immigration policy at the center for american progress sir thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us thank you. now seven former detainees of u.a.e. run prisons in yemen have spoken of what they call systematic sexual torture by emmy rossum guards the former prisoners told their stories to the associated press news agency the u.a.e. denies ever running prisons or secret detention centers in yemen they enter karim

reports a window into what's being described as a world of rampant sexual torture impunity these drawings were smuggled out of iraq to run prisons in yemen made on plastic plates with ink detainees held without charge or trial described humiliation to the associated press news agency one caption in arabic says it's real terrorism in another drawing prisoners being transported in a pickup truck are naked blindfolded and handcuffed seven former detainee spoke to reporters about what they've witnessed they say rape electrocution and beatings took place at five detention centers including at the iraqi forces headquarters in the country the u.a.e. mission in geneva tweeted that it has never managed or run prisons or secret detention centers in yemen but the accusations don't come as a surprise in march human rights groups accuse the united arab emirates of making

arbitrary arrests in southern yemen. we have got to remember. the u.a.e. is responsible for. over an arbitrary detention in europe. for months many residents demanded to know where their missing relatives are u.a.e. military commanders in yemen have repeatedly denied running secret prisons their reporting they had a government set up. with the u.a.e. has continued to deny and use again but abuses continue and all the prisoners have discovered. the three year war in yemen has caused a complete breakdown of law and order especially in the south where militias operate beyond the control of the courts and the internationally recognized government in addition to the disappearances in torture there have been reports of executions and assassinations diana caramelize al-jazeera or now are joined from

washington by alex evans who's a reporter with the online news publication the intercept covering human rights issues welcome to al-jazeera you've been following the story for a while now and this is the second report coming out of the associated press so what do you make of it so far that in a sense we're getting the second report and haven't really had an official or in-depth and so from the united states to the first one. absolutely thanks for having me what we've learned from this new report is not so much just that torture is going on in these prisons we've known for more than a year now what we've learned in this associated press report is that an m.r.i. to run prisons in yemen mass rape is being used as a weapon of torture and interrogation and humiliation it's a war crime on a pretty epic scale and that the u.s. is turning a blind eye to it completely i know from my own reporting that the u.s.

government is not being frank even with u.s. lawmakers about what the u.s. role in these prisons are and so we're a long way from having any kind of public accountability on what's going on in south yemen. so again based on that a.p. investigation from last year the houses of of representatives voted in may to require the defense secretary jim asked his to determine whether u.s. military actually violated law in interrogations of detainees in yemen do you expect anything to come out of that i hope it i hope it will but first i would have to pass the senate and i would have to make it into the final version of defense appropriations law now when i talked to the sponsor of the bill representative roe conn a from california what he told me is the reason that they've had to.
