pierces 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 there. the heavy government said it best to go with the u.n. he has continued to flatly deny any rule you see but abuses continue and all their prisoners have. broached. 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 carom al-jazeera and examines is a reporter with the online news publication the intercept and covers human rights issues he says the u.s. is aware of the accusations but is turning

a blind eye what we've learned in this associated press report is that an emirate 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. i mean i find it really hard to believe with the a.p. reporting last year that u.s. officials have gone into these prisons and conducted interrogation i find it impossible to believe that they didn't notice handcuffs on the wall or the equipment you need to electrocute someone it's just implausible so the u.s. is turning a mat either turning

a massive blind eye or they're being openly deceptive about the role in these prisons and one thing i would add we just in the united states we just got through a several months long confirmation process for our cia director gina housefull that centered on her role in bush era torture programs and she told members of congress this is in the past tortures in the past we've learned our lessons but it's quite clear that the u.s. is still heavily reliant on torture as long as someone else is willing to do our dirty work the saudi amorality coalition in yemen says it's taken full control of the airport in her data that's a key step in its offensive to push the rebels from the city but the people of her accord between the fighting and dwindling supplies to some reports. the classrooms that this whole day to school were once places of learning now the shelter whole families whose homes have been destroyed. since two thousand and fifteen the warplanes have been firing missiles at our place because the rebel camps were close

when the attacks increased and the bullets fell into our houses and many of them were destroyed we left we have come to the school to stay here. i have my twins we left and we didn't take anything not even a pillow or a mattress now we come to been go back to our houses. a few kilometers away fighters loyal to president hadi celebrate as they seize control of her day to airport the balance tipped by intensified air strikes from saudi arabia and u.a.e. trying to plan. who the rebels say they still control the city and the simple and it's the port that the coalition really wants. supplies coming in to yemen including food and medicine as well as its oil exports all go through hard data whoever controls the port city could have a tight grip on goods in and out of yemen. but the coalition also says weapons supplied by iran a smuggled to rebels through the port and that's why her data's

a target to run and the who these deny allegations of weapons smuggling speaking in a pro who the t.v. network the rebels leader remains defiant. most of the coastal area of the hama still free enter a large area of the coast is under control of our people and. even if they bring the world's armies we will not submit our collapse. meanwhile airstrikes creep closer to the center of the city the coalition says who the fighters are using civilians as human shields they say who think tanks are hidden in populated areas. aid agencies say if supplies of food water and medicine stop coming it will make the severe humanitarian crisis even worse for the people of the data the chances of survival are dwindling rob matheson al jazeera here with the news hour from our

the immigration crisis at the same time in hungary you have the government of the door of his few days party using their supermajority in parliament to amend the constitution in two ways the first being to make it a criminal offense punishable with a jail term for non-governmental organizations to provide assistance to what the government considers to be illegal immigrants and then the second change to say that hungary should not be populated with alien populations that's their words that the point here is it shows the dichotomy that the difference in approach between what the supranational e.u. wants to achieve and what certain governments and central eastern europe and europe want to achieve and they seem very far apart hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants trying to reach europe every year and spain has seen a huge number in the number of arrivals with more than eleven hundred people entering in the first ten days of this month alone al-jazeera is carpender whole

perilous libya italy route they're now being pushed towards the western mediterranean and that is going to mean a very hot summer for miguel parcher and his crew on this vessel and watch them up all india. hungary has defied the law and passed a bill criminalizing assistance to one documented immigrants under the so-called stop saurus law aid workers could face up to a year in jail if they help people seek asylum prime minister viktor orban blames hungary an american businessman george soros for encouraging mass migration to europe soros denies that. monsoon season is adding to the problems for a million at the world's largest refugee camp they're living in the long camp in bangladesh after escaping a military crackdown in neighboring miramar shallow pellets risk reports. monsoon rains for all and sahara beggar reflects on a hard year. to hara her husband mohammed and the six children have

a hugely significant considering how the two leaders badly fell back in two thousand and sixteen during that violence in the capital juba react much are fled the country has been under house arrest in the south and south africa both sides of the queues each other off starting that fighting so there's a lot of bad blood between the two leaders and a lot of mistrust as well to the fact that they have actually come to buy in ethiopia are actually neat thing and talking that alone brings a sense of renewed hope in south sudan so why would they be talking about going forward we are told that they will be discussing mainly among other things of power sharing do we expect any deal to be signed a lot of south sudanese are waiting and it's going to be interesting to see how all this plays out going forward. very low. optimism levels in south sudan right now because these leaders have met before they have signed peace agreements

before but those peace agreements and peace deals have been broken so it's going to be interesting to see what happens in the war in south sudan is also complicated father because now we have malta people fighting groups for various. interests but a lot of people i've talked to are saying that the fact that react much are in president salva kiir have actually come to the negotiating table actually wheeling to talk that alone may move forward the peace process and give hope to south sudanese who have suffered for such a long time eritrea's president says that he's ready to put a decades old dispute with neighboring ethiopia to rest it follows if you pierce prime minister announcing that his country is ready to accept the terms of an agreement for eighteen years ago for challenged him reports that the peace deal sided dhea two thousand between the two african davis has never been upheld. at the
