a result of an institutionalized practice shortening patients' lives by administering opioids like. without medical justification and given missing records a further two. two hundred may have died for the same reason a doctor called jane barton played a central role in prescribing the drugs she was previously questioned by police but never charged relatives of those who died say there must now be prosecutions the health secretary told parliament on wednesday that would be up to the police and the justice system but i can at least on behalf of the government and the n.h.s. apologize for what happened and what they have been through. had three establishment listened when junior n.h.s. staff spoke out how this started listening when ordinary families raise concerns instead of treating them as troublemakers many of those deaths would not have happened can willie's father john was just sixty eight when he was sent to the

hospital to recover after breaking his hip he wasn't in perfect health but the bottom line is he wasn't going in there he wasn't going there to die he never came out alive it was ghostly cause because everybody seemed must have been on the o.p.'s and if not. on the bus or it was like walking to somewhere. and i used the wrong word but your knowledge is right it was already a morgue the government said it will respond in detail later this year but the relatives of those who died many elderly themselves want lessons to be learned and charges brought as soon as possible that al-jazeera portsmouth russians are reveling in football world cup success after becoming one of the first two teams to qualify for the knockout stages fans a basking in the host countries unexpectedly strong start to the tournament the lowest ranked team has reached the last sixteen for the first time since one thousand nine hundred eighty six when it was part of the soviet union was

next thursday to discuss overhauling the blocks asylum system and those are the headlines next up on al-jazeera inside story. the united states pulls out of the u.n. human rights council calling it a cesspool of political bias so what will this mean for the global fight to protect human rights and isolate the u.s. on the world stage this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm peter the u.s. has walked out of the u.n. human rights council calling it hypocritical self-serving and a cesspool of political bias the move follows months of threats from president obama will trump to pull out of the un council the united states has long had a conflicted relationship with the u.n. h. ossie and says it has to be reformed the announcement came at a time when president faces widespread and vociferously condemnation for his zero tolerance immigration policy that separating children from their families on the us mexico border well guess what guests in a moment but first the inside story as this report. special a year ago the u.s. ambassador to the united nations criticize the u.n. human rights council for what she called its hypocritical behavior and nikki haley said the u.s. would quit the council if it didn't change its ways it's hard to accept that this

council has never considered a resolution on venezuela and yet adopted five biased resolutions in march against a single country israel it is essential that this council address its chronic anti israel bias if it is to have any credibility it is correct to criticize the state of israel for its actions as said by rabbi luck you can you can challenge the israeli government's policies without being a mighty comet such as this a permanent agenda item investigating israel's treatment of palestinians and the us is recent failure to prevent the un general assembly from condemning israel's use of force in gaza finally made the trumpet ministration say enough on tuesday but when organizations undermine our national interests and our allies we will not be complicit when they seek to infringe on our national sovereignty we will not be silent we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain

a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights we could have withdrawn immediately we did not do that instead we made a good faith effort to resolve the problems the u.s. has had a troubled relationship with the council when it was set up in two thousand and six president george bush refused to join because he feared countries with poor human rights records would be able to sit on a panel intended to punish human rights violators he and bush's decision making the us ambassador to the u.n. at the time john bolton he's now president trumps national security advisor i think president will. rock obama then joined the council in two thousand and nine are you to leave us would have more influence and give israel more protection from negative resolutions in the process now the u.s. is leaving the council again and that has human rights groups around the world very

concerned they fear that without the american presence on the council it will be much less able to hold countries such as russia syria or north korea accountable for the mistreatment of their citizens it's also not clear how long washington plans to stay away from the human rights council rosalyn jordan al-jazeera the state department. well the council is based in geneva and its mission is to promote and to protect human rights around the world it was established back in two thousand and six to replace the un commission on human rights that had been strongly criticised for allowing countries with poor human rights records to be members of the un h r c has forty seven member countries who serve the three year terms it meets three times a year and investigates human rights records of all u.n. member states in a special process it covers issues including freedom of expression freedom of belief women's rights bt rights and the rights of racial and ethnic minorities the

un general assembly can suspend the rights of any council member that's violating human rights in a gross and systematic way this requires a two thirds majority vote. let's get going let's bring in our guests joining us from geneva dion shar on he's the director of independent diplomat in london we have rosa friedman professor of law and global development of the university of reading and joining us from washington is mohammed a cop professor of conflict resolution at the george mason university welcome to you all coming to you first what does this decision do to the organization well the decision is not really one that comes as a prize in geneva everyone that's been following the human rights council in geneva has been expecting it ever since nikki haley came to geneva in june of last year and said that in essence she wanted the council to reform around three pillars the

first one is its membership the second one is its perceived bias towards israel and the third one is its efficiency i think that here. the shock is really the surprise is really that it comes so suddenly in a way even though we had seen it coming most would have expected that there'd be a trigger say for instance the un publishing a report condemning israel or something of the kind but in any case i think most people expected it and. then the biggest concern nowadays is what you know how this is going to unfold a year and a half away from the reform of the human rights council the human rights council itself is due to be reformed in twenty twenty and you know this withdrawal poses a lot of questions on the rosa what does it also say about where the organization stands today and why didn't it react to those demands from nikki haley to reform i

think that there are many countries many n.g.o.s that agree with us about the need for reform it was the way that the u.s. was going about trying to reform the body that i think caused this trigger this this reaction and this walking out in quite an immediate manner. essentially the u.s. wanted to sponsor resolutions on reform where is it these these things have to be crossed regional they have to have co-sponsors and be championed by many countries and the way that the u.s. was pushing for reform was by floating resolutions without first garnering support and then reacting very badly when those floated resolutions were being pushed off the table and mohamed what does it also tell us about the current direction of travel for the trumpet ministration while it is of the day in the us history it contradicts all the morals and institutions that have been established since the put it in times in colonial america or according to the will so many in our doctrine that gave us the league of nations and then contributed to the

establishment of the un nation systems unfortunately the air from administration now is exist in this global human right part of the i am for the sake of be an isolating related and also for showing some uncalled for sympathy to the israelis so i think the problem here is that the united states is going to lose its main reference of more of politics human rights and all the humanity that it has championed over centuries rose when mohammed talks about uncalled for sympathy for the israelis part of this as far as nikki haley is concerned is this article seven which means that they always have to their constituted in such a way they always have to talk about israel at every meeting and that's why we've seen the reaction that we've seen today from benjamin netanyahu. but ever since the council was created there has been bias there has been excessive disproportionate

scrutiny of israel we've seen that the un human rights council spent more time and resources talking about israel than it has about north korea yemen south sudan sudan and darfur and sri lanka combined but that has that bias it's not a perception that a bias against israel isn't not a reason to leave the human rights council it is a reason to reform and work with the council and in fact when item seven was perth first placed on the agenda the reason that it wasn't blocked by european union states was it was hoped that the discussion of israel and palestine would be contained to those two days that the session since it is not contained to those two days in israel is raised in all sorts of other agenda items many countries have sent can stop to engaging with item seven so there are ways around it and the us knows that there are ways around it but this is almost a good excuse and a good national populist excuse for the us walking out of the room you know what you think the chances are that the united states might go back in again they left before under george w. bush when he was

a republican president but they chose under obama to join up and sign up to the statues one more time. i mean it's going to be difficult to predict but to be honest i don't forsee them coming back before the twenty twenty so i.e. before the reforms are discussed and then there is a new. that there is a new body or that the reforms are in place i think that the message is pretty clear in fact i think the big question is whether these reforms or whether this would allow for the u.s. to return at all and and i agree with rose and how many have just said in many ways it creates a void i mean when you're trying to negotiate for reform and you're not there in the room negotiating it creates a void and so in countries other countries are more than happy to fill that void and so far as i'm can see in my my biggest concern is civil society the human rights council has been one of the few un avenues for engagement for civil society

actors i agree that i mean i hear rose's points with regards to the israel bias and or or the discussion to the way that's given them on on the record human rights record of israel but at the same time i must say that it's one of the very few conduits where we've had discussions on accountability at full at the u.n. and taking in with the engagement of civil society i'm thinking you know it's had twenty eight commissions of inquiry not just on gaza but also on the myanmar. and look at for instance syria is one of the very few places where we've had so much you know there's been an independent investigative body looking into the violations committed by the syrian government there and so on so so this has provided for a room for civil society engagement like nowhere else i mean there's over probably a hundred probably thousand of n.g.o.s active in there and the big fear is that this u.s. withdrawal creating that void would allow certain other countries to fill it and

these other countries which are coming to the fray thinking for instance. china with its win win resolution which they tabled recently is it remains unknown as to how much space they would want to give to the ngos i mean when i say on own this is a diplomatic term i mean many countries the u.s. was part of the group of states that was favorable and supportive of the engagement of civil society actors so that that is probably one of the biggest question marks on the mohammed in washington if there is now a void and there clearly is on the ranks of the within the ranks of the comes all those other countries that look to the united states to be the high water mark of not just international law and how it's applied but also the nexus of morality international reality if you will and the law who do they look to now. well before our other recent question let me couple of issues here i think we should not over

credit the support for israel in explaining or deconstructing this decision i think we should mention also that there is a person that is also a political factor the personnel factor is that from six to become the king that america had never had in other words he wants to free himself up from all these institutions and accountability also this decision can be considered as an investment in the right wing. base where he is basically telling them that you are better off with us as right wingers and he is also take into consideration this investment toward the elections next november at the congress level and also later on in two thousand and twenty two other is your question i think yes there will be a vacuum where there will be no leadership no point of reference and no final kind of text or money fest to that sort of explains to the rest of the world

that there is a system so basically this is a move beyond the establishment beyond the international institution that is the u.n. that has over sighted this business of human rights all the way that otherwise we are going to be moving in on and shot the grounds in terms of what to do when some human rights for injured or encroached upon on therefore the trump administration is now. driving the world into the world in this and the war spot here is that he is undermining the u.n. system if we do without. oh if we abandon this system then i think we've become. really even in a big situation rosa i think you want to come in there i'd like i'd like to come in that i think that where the state in the case of the u.s. leaving the human rights council and the impact that this will have on the council

and on the whole u.n. system trump has already taken money away from peacekeeping budgets from the u.n. population fund from other parts of the united nations system and other countries have stepped up to fill that void within the human rights council the european union is very strong the u.k. is very agile very effective with a very large mission and yes we will see a void by the u.s. not having its mission not having its its institutional knowledge and particularly its leadership on human rights but there are other countries we can look to particularly as an american countries who because of the geographic distance between them in geneva don't always play as strong a role as perhaps we might want them to we can look to these countries and expect them to step up and fill the void and to push back against the countries like china who are trying to undermine human rights who are trying to say state sovereignty is more important or the countries like egypt and india who block n.g.o.s from being accredited to the u.n. system and just a little bit worried that if we all say that the human rights council will collapse

as a result of the u.s. leave the current we're actually forgetting that there are one hundred ninety three member states and no one state is is more important than the remainder of them together while donald trump has pulled the u.s. out of several international agreements including the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal which was reached with other world powers to curb to ron's nuclear program in exchange for easing sanctions the paris climate accord which is working to tackle global warming signed also in twenty fifteen by one hundred ninety countries the u.s. has also withdrawn from the trans-pacific partnership a twelve nation trade deal that covers almost forty percent of the world's economy and the un global agreement on. migration the pledge is to uphold the rights of refugees and help them to resettle in another country rosa can i come back to you though when you talk about that agility that's that's all well and good and we accept that of course but as the cut has the time come for the council which it seems to me is like a work in progress almost am quite got it right because you're all saying the same

thing there are valid criticisms here but they did launch commissions on north korea south sudan nothing came of that so the delivery of how they react to the information that they bring in is never pushed through well first of all we have to understand that the council is an intergovernmental body member states send their diplomats to represent national interests and so we will always be a political body and it won't have legally binding powers it has soft powers unlike expert bodies that are more likewise i judicial powers the commissions of inquiry the fact finding the information sharing this has been a game changer for human rights unlike the previous body the commission the council me throughout the year it is webcast anyone can access it members of the public n.g.o.s it provides information that is used by the security council that's used by regional bodies because gray violations of human rights often are

a precursor to threats to international peace and security we've seen so much positive work of the council and yes there are always going to be problems there are reforms and needed the membership ensue is one that as has been there since the council began how do we how do we enforce soft membership criteria how do we encourage african after the african group as a regional group to stop pushing forward countries like democratic republic of congo or burundi who are violating human rights on a massive scale as candid as but these are things that can be addressed can be worked out this body is only twelve years old and as with all institutions changes are needed but that doesn't mean that we should negate the fact that so much good work has been done. this body deal in geneva nikki haley tried to name and shame venezuela why is it the council during its lifetime has never held a specific singular session on venice whaling i mean it was up to the u.s. to actually call for a special session on venezuela they haven't done so there where

a member of the council they're not sitting on the margins there were standing member of it there were many opportunities to actually do some work on venezuela i think that i mean i have to accept i mean i accept what rosa said that the council still very much active it has had several successes and it brings to the fore questions that weren't necessarily how would i say tackled previously i mean from questions from l.g.b. t.q. to bloggers in saudi arabia and elsewhere and then and the venezuela actually issue is coming to the fore more so around what you were mentioning earlier the global compact and the refugee issues and to be honest another sign of the days is that actually it's other european countries that are starting to actually come to the fore on the issue let's not forget for instance the venezuela issue is impacting the latin american countries that are around it as well as european countries i

think of the netherlands which has a little tiny island of of venezuela which is receiving a massive influx of refugees and so all these countries there is still a multilateral life to it in fact as independent diplomat we're very active on that front we definitely see the netherlands as an example scandinavian countries canada but also latin american countries are coming to the fore several african countries are also quite active south africa's very active at their human rights council it's not a it's not because the u.s. withdrew that all of a sudden we have an implosion of the system it's actually very much still alive just like the paris agreement is very much alive and we. seen that countries do step up and this is good you know i'm going to interrupt you there because there are a couple of other points that i do want to get to as we head towards the end of the program mohammed in washington are there other organizations other agreements that the united states may yet still withdraw from. well i think the window is open

because trump remains a dogmatic leader who is on to establishment alliance auntie groban he is the known global president of the entire history basically he wants to push america as far as he could from the rest of the world so it's not just an atlantic ocean there is a deeper ideological and cultural ocean between the united states now and the rest of the ward i also like to mention i've served on one of the u.n. panels of experts and they sensed there was a strong alliance between the so-called p three us britain and france and now i can see this alliance of kind of breaking away and i think there is a silver lining in the times decision to exit the human rights council since germany france and to large extent the u.k. are now trying to restore the values of liberal democracy so i think in the wrong

around the world that we look up to europe more than the united states and i think this is a corrective more of on the european side since trump now is nor longer the moral or the leader of this western part of the roser you clearly believe that the council and the u.n. is safe helen clark the former prime minister of you zealand today saying she thinks there's an outside chance the u.s. may withdraw from the u.n. so my final question to you is this is the united states heading towards being a row state he praises kim jong un he puts a coach and horses through the iran nuclear deal nafta t p p the g seven which is looking like it's going to become the g six in the g one at loggerheads i mean how far is the united states prepared to go given what nikki haley has done today. i i don't imagine that the u.s. will withdraw wholly from the u.n.

indeed i don't think it will give up its permanent seat on the security council because that seat brings with it power i think that where it comes to issues that trump doesn't care about human rights the environment anything essentially that isn't about trade and about wealth creation he's likely to continue to withdraw from institutions or from agreement or simply follow the path of what the u.s. has always done and not sign up to treaties in the first place but i don't believe that the u.n. is at threat of the u.s. withdrawal i do believe that the u.n. needs to recalibrate i think that nations need to come together within all of these multilateral institutions and think about how to fill the void and ultimately we're going to have to weather the storm until trump is no longer president. in geneva the last word to you in about the next thirty seconds or so would it be fair to see this u.s. administration is not changing just the united states it's also changing the rest of the world and we don't know yet if it's changing it for the worse or for the better. i would say that this decision from the

u.s. is forcing everyone to actually change their game so we have countries which are forced to step up as muhammad has said doubtfully see it in geneva and certain countries which are coming to the forward to try to compete and in that sense they are actually china and the us sort of look the same which is an embarrassing situation for the us it's traditional allies in europe but i would say also that for civil society it's also a challenging time they have to actually be the change they want to see and that could also be in a bit unity at the idea or definitely trying to encourage that movement and working with them. i think that this in gauge meant of the human rights council should continue and let's see how the new. how the discussions around the reform will play out ok we have to leave it there thank you so much thanks to our guests sharon friedman and mohammed dzhokhar and thank you to you too for your company see the program again by the web site al jazeera dot com and for further discussion check

a lot of happy people. faced with growing outrage a rear u.-turn from president don't trump reversing his own policy of separating families who entered the u.s. illegally we're going to have strong very strong borders but we're going to keep the families together i didn't like this site but the feeling of families being separated. those who enter the u.s. illegally will still be prosecuted the continuation of trumps the zero tolerance border policy but families will be kept together while they wait for a hearing before an immigration judge but the trumpet ministration can't keep children in detention indefinitely under u.s. law in what is known as the florida settlement you have to be placed with a close relative or friend normally within twenty days and those who are in custody have to be kept in the least restrictive conditions possible the executive order that the administration announced today is going to set up 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 which trumpet ministration will know seek a not to court hearing to modify that agreement to allow them to detain families for longer if you're really really felt that a clean weak country is going to be overrun with millions of people trumps executive order is only a temporary solution to the broader problem of immigration reform meeting at the white house republicans argued for measures to stop migrants entering the u.s. and then disappearing without appearing before an immigration judge as president you know you got a real plan if you. the take off. from all requires that children be separated if you let the adults in the country they never show up seems to me that we want to keep the family together and have the parish often there for the democrats dispute trumps claim he was simply enforcing the law when it comes to separating children from their parents democrats argue it was a choice b.
