that was taken to the a famous torture center from the days of the samosa rule more than forty years ago today it houses young men and women who have protested against president daniel ortega. a human rights attorney says that arrests of peaceful demonstrators is just one of dozens of human rights violations being committed by the government and a lot of them we have recorded two hundred cases nationwide of illegal detention and forced disappearances and also kidnappings. the political conflict in the guy one has killed at least one hundred eighty six people and injured more than a thousand activists say they have recorded at least sixty disappearances although the actual number is difficult to know human rights observers continue to call on president ortega to end the violent crackdown on anti-government demonstrators and are asking for the release of an unknown number of individuals who have been detained without charge since the start of the political crisis every day hazel

the leak.

during.

al-jazeera. where every year. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would just be all when people need to be heard women and girls are being

bombed and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you the winning documentaries and knives news an analogy i've got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism on air and online. until now the coverage of latin america and most of the world was a cloud cover included todd's tragedies of quakes and that was it but not sure how careful feel how they look how they think and that's what we do with coping with five and a half months of demanding a good education system that was introduced. that in america up to zero has to fill a void that needed to be filled. one

of the biggest problems facing our oceans and the loss of seagrass meadows one check rule for roughly fifteen percent of the ocean's total carbon storage perhaps are they all twice as much carbon dioxide as rain forests and they're also question marine habitats for many endangered oceans these things. but here on elkhorn slew in central california the tide could be turning for seagrass thanks to some unexpected allies. trying to free.

this nine hundred hectare as she wary is where rivers throughout this region meet the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertilizer and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate ecosystem so having farmers so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well anywhere where you get coastal environments close to urban centers coastal environments close. you get problems like this. it grows with touches the rocks it eventually starts decomposing over half of the world sea grass meadow. are in decline but here in al corn slew they're making a surprising comeback. oh wow.

at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation's appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering a chain reaction known as the trophic cascade. sea otters the crabs lower crop numbers allows smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass by eating algal build up on the leaves they allow sunlight to reach the plants. because sea otters are so crucial to the ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring

their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tag them with radio devices . so the farmer here worked really well. she was probably very close. what's the purpose of tropical we go out seven days a week is to go out and find individuals see where they are what they're doing. the other part of it is just so we can understand the distribution of orders in this area what are they eating how are they doing health wise there is one right there that's three four nine six so that beeping is an arm that peeping is from the radio transmitter that's surgically implanted in her. system ok. why don't you take a look yet you're out in there. along the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of

top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against the macro gene groupings of facts of sea otters eating crabs essentially the same grass an advantage again so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world will it have a knock on effect potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we wiped out we have the great potential for restoring the health of that system.

in a world where journalism as an industry is changing we had fortunate to be able to continue to expand to continue to have that passenger drive and present the stories in a way that is important to our viewers. everyone has a story worth hearing. to cover those that are often ignored we don't weigh our coverage towards one particular region or continent that's why i joined al-jazeera . with bureaus spanning six continents across the globe. to. al-jazeera has correspondents live in green the stories they tell. me are fluent in world news one of the really special things that working crowd is 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 working for us as it is that it challenges liberally but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories does us mend it is to deliver in-depth generalism we don't feel in favor to the audience across the globe. it was a war that united egypt and syria are against israel but in the heat of the battle that different agendas soon became apparent as

a told me that his dream was to the venge to see tonight the sixty seven when president sadat came to power he told us just give me ten centimeters of land in the east the second of a three part series the israeli population were told that their troops were on the west bank of the su is cannot explain was the second week of the war in october on al-jazeera. the sams in archaeology graduate from iraq is also a part time going to billings pergamon museum which includes a reconstruction of the famous ishtar gate in bubble. most of the people he's showing around came to germany as refugees this is just one of several building museums taking part in the project called meeting point and as well as bringing people together one of its aims is to emphasise the contribution of migrants right up to the present day to western culture. because i've been here for some time i can help them with lots of things but news is forward to me the great thing is it's not just about museums about forming a new life is a part of life it's culture. has the geology of both resources

and. why are they so poor emotion. when trying to form a government. the tocsin with essentially the more we push them the more they push back we knew it was coming to question was do we sit and wait or do we surprise them with a preemptive strike. analogy zero. signs an executive order to end his policy of separating families at the southern border . i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera life and also coming up accusations of rape

electrocution and beatings at prisons run by the united arab emirates and yemen. allegations of police brutality against my currents arriving in france from italy. and a dumping ground for electronic waste taliban in china is causing problems for other countries. it was a rare reversal for a president who. it's a tough but after days of public outrage and political pressure on all the signs an executive order to end his controversial policy of splitting up migrant families at the us mexico border but the order provides little clarity on what happens to children who have already been separated from their families and remain capped and detention ever elizondo but looking for answers in brownsville in texas near the border with mexico. after washington announced an end to family

separation of asylum seekers at the border there was no celebrating in brownsville texas instead only confusion the law states families seeking asylum that are arrested in the u.s. can only be kept together in detention for twenty days trumps legal team says they'll go to court try to extend that and the so-called zero tolerance policy it remains in place so there is no change in policy on arresting asylum seekers and charging them with the crime the thing that concerns us the most is that ultimately what this will result in as far as we can tell is indefinite detainment of families sounds like you don't think this is the solution absolutely not a lot of confusion still in the days ahead yet there's a lot of opacity still around this and ultimately until we see an end to zero tolerance we don't think that this is. we don't think that you can address these issues without ending zero tolerance with not enough shelters or detention facilities to how's everyone tent city detention centers for children like this one

in a remote desert area near el paso texas will remain for now conditions are difficult temperatures can reach forty two degrees celsius and in brownsville outside this shelter detention center housing hundreds of kids no sign of being reunited with their parents. this shelter behind me is one that already has children in it that have been separated from their families the big question now is how to get them reunited problem is there does not seem to be any system in place to make that happen so it could be days weeks or even months until families are finally reunited activists here remain baffled by what's going on saying that hellish situation has just giving way to another it's a creates a crime in my minds a crime quite simply is a separation of up of the innocent baby from the mother. and it's

completely out of proportion to what's going on in washington relief perhaps after trump's move to curtail the growing storm clouds his separation policy has brought over his presidency but here just another night of kids going to bed without knowing what's happened to their parents gabriel's on dough brownsville texas. immigrant children as young as fourteen being held at a juvenile center in the u.s. state of virginia have reported systematic abuse they say they were beaten while handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement some also reported being left nude and shivering and concrete cells staff at the facility have denied all allegations of physical abuse many detains to recenter that detention center after being accused of belonging to violent gangs like m s thirteen most of the children were caught crossing the border without family members they were not among those separated from their families by president zero tolerance policy. many americans are outraged by images of crying children and

young kids sleeping on cots in cages their new york city says he was shocked to learn some of the migrant kids separated from their families were brought to his city without his knowledge kristen salumi has more from new york. at an hour well past most children's bedtime a group of girls is led down a dark new york city street and into a social service agency this footage captured by new york one shows the same children being let out a short time later their faces and identities hidden to be taken to foster homes later in the light of day the agency got a visit from the mayor of new york city a critic of the family separation policy we're all shocked at what we think is something happening far away so i have to tell you i am further shocked to find out today how much this policy has now come home right here to new york city and right here to this location america new york said he was shocked to discover that two

hundred thirty nine children had been brought to this facility alone he says the city had no advance notice them to this day has no idea how many children in total have been brought to new york even though the trumpet ministration now says it will keep detain families together the governor of new york state says he plans to sue the federal. government on behalf of those already separated they had no plan or accommodations for separating the children and that's why you see the picture of them in cages in kennels and shipped all of course the country several states have absorbed more than twenty two hundred children who have been taken from their families since the policy came into force in michigan the director of one facility caring for kids says they're doing their best but the children are suffering children talking about you know not having a chance to say goodbye to mom or dad often going to the foster home crying crying throughout the night having nightmares waking up calling from mom and dad with no

has. any rule. but abuses continue and all their prisoners have. rights to. 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. the saudi a moronic coalition and yemen says it has taken full control of the airport and her data that has the rebels are denying that the rebels have posted this video online in recent hours which appears to show that their fighters still have access to the airport compound for two days the coalition has said it is in control of that area the airport is seen as an important milestone in coalition efforts to retake the city which has been under who they control says two thousand and fourteen. i must say i don't. think this is hold out international airport we are filming to

emphasize that we are inside the airport i would like to send a message from inside the airport through this video on thursday june twentieth it is not true what is being circulated through any media that they took control last wednesday june nineteenth of the airport partially or completely. a force led by a libyan war what cliff a half tar says as have recaptured two key oil export terminals and there's been an escalation in fighting recently for control of the country's oil production facilities u.s. . state department has condemned the violence between armed groups which has destroyed one major terminal that's calling for rival fighters to immediately withdraw from the area a move up to go ahead as in libya's capital tripoli with more so there seems to be constantly changing information conflicting information but it certainly does seem to be an escalation what else can you tell us.
