that was decreed without any of the work being done that would create process seize and would put the right people in place to manage whatever crisis or whatever situation evolved so that's one thing the executive order did the second thing it did was to say children and their families will be able to stay together whether or not the children are being held in administrative detention of the parents are being held in administrate of detention or are being criminally prosecuted which is what the big change that happened that caused all this chaos was there's a further problem down the line about how this will all play out after the legally authorized twenty day detention period but we'll get to that in the future the problem right now and it is a critical problem is how are these twenty three hundred children going to be reunited with their parents and the present the road blocks of this are not necessary letelier legal these children when they come in are supposed to be given a number let's assume that they are given a number that's

a number that can enable them to be tracked the problem it seems to be is that the different agencies that have been involved the department of homeland security health and human services and other related agencies within their purview aren't necessarily able to share the information and haven't been sharing it as a matter of course and so they actually have to find these children and once they find them they have to find their parents for those parents who have been sent back home or deported this is not going to be necessarily an easy task in fact it's going to be it's going to take an awful lot of time and effort and so the biggest problem here is the lack of policy the lack of procedure the lack of a ministry of rules and regulations at a time when every single day that goes by harms these children more and more is to see some pretty heartbreaking pictures of a child that was separated from their parents for sri months young child younger than two and then recognizes. mother when when he met her again because he was so

little in the past twenty four hours a new york mayor in a sense has got involved as well bill de blasio pointing out that some children had actually been sent to new york and he didn't know anything about it to be put in foster accommodation i mean first of all how surprising is it that there isn't even coordination at that level but secondly if we're going to try and be a bit optimistic do you think that now that there is so much attention from so many agencies and the public that maybe this process will be a little bit if not easier or more likely to to leave a positive results. that's a very good question the amount of public outcry that has been present since this policy was made clear and revealed is it is quite something and had everything to do with the issuing of this executive order but there's wink between public outcry and actually being able to piece together which child belongs where and where their parents are may be a hurdle that public opinion can't necessarily solve or even address as forcefully

and effectively as it as it did the actual separation of the parents and children but it's not going to hurt and the more problem pressure there is i would say more than public pressure what we found is that there's so much going on that the public and even the mayor of new york city did not know about so what we want more than public pressure or in addition to public pressure is transparency there needs to be more of a sense of what's going on who the children are and not a shell game of where are they who who's in charge who knows things and who doesn't know things and so there's going to have to become a come a cross the aisle coordination in order to get this resolved and in order for that to happen public pressure public opinion can actually be incredibly effective. a lot of people critical of donald trump have said in a way didn't even have to sign an executive order that was a bit of a showpiece you just just needed to reverse. the policy there do you think there is

now a will for a variety of reasons but a genuine will on behalf of the administration to really solve this issue. i don't know i think it's very hard to say i think that this was this things are on hold that it's as if you push the pause button we're not going to in the light of day in front of all these cameras before all this public pressure keep separating children from their parents in pictures that we can see with crying and and and banging their heads against the floor that we can see and hear we're not going to do this anymore we're going to take a time out so i it's really very hard to answer that question and the further question that you're suggesting is what is the trust that the the public has in ministration telling us the truth and really being of good will and wanting to solve this problem these children were eventually essentially held hostage in order for donald trump to be able to get through some kind of immigration reform that

included building the wall as one of your former guest suggested so what exactly is the end game is the end game to let congress get its act together and speak in a way that is equitable and fair and that is fair to people who are inside the borders of the united states those that are already here as well as immigration reform we don't know and this is this is as as somebody said earlier this is a political game and i think it's very hard to predict karen greenberg director of the center national security at fordham university school of will write in thank you so much for sharing your expertise insults with us. well still to come here on the al-jazeera news the fight for yemen airport both sides the who the rebels and the saudi erotically nation claim that they are firmly in control the new mediterranean entry point for migrants and refugees seeking a better life in europe and australia fight for survival at the world cup fora we'll have the details in sport.

but first the wife of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been charged with fraud the justice ministry says that saddam is accused of misusing state funds by allegedly spending government money on catering services harry for said has more now. it's been coming for months and now it's confirmed sarah netanyahu indicted for fraud the case against misuse of state funds connected to position as israel's prime minister investigation started three years ago the government official issued a report on excessive spending at the couple's official residence in west jerusalem she's charged with using nearly one hundred thousand dollars from the official prime minister's residence budget for private ships and food for family events allegedly conspiring with an official to hide the fact that a resident chef was already being employed and falsifying fifteen invoices for the

services of outside caterers very different from the prime minister's initial rebuttal of the allegations when he spoke of takeaway dinners in full trays the fact that she's indicted this is a sign that. the system and the police and the people of. such a coup will be and this is. because they will stop with the wife and will finish with him. israeli prime minister understands all too well the position his wife has been in in february israeli police recommended that he be indicted but the two corruption cases would be not to slow i will continue to lead israel responsibly and faithfully as long as you the citizens of israel choose me to lead you i am certain i am certain that the truth will be revealed and i am certain that at the next elections which will be held on schedule i will earn your trust again the first involves lavish gifts of cigars and champagne offered to and according to

leakes often requested by the prime minister and his wife given by billionaire friends israeli born hollywood mogul ana milton and astray in tycoon james packer in the second case netanyahu is accused of trying to get favorable coverage in the country's second biggest newspaper by offering to hamper the activities of its main competitor another case still under investigation concerns are negations the owner of israel's biggest telecoms company awarded netanyahu favorable coverage in his news agency in return for the prime minister's supporting beneficial regulations so far benjamin netanyahu has managed to ride out the political fallout from the police recommendation that he be indicted but now that his wife has been charged the scrutiny the precious stemming from these longstanding corruption allegations is short amount again ari force at al-jazeera westerners security sources in libya say a powerful warlord has captured two major oil terminals. forces have been battling for control of. fighters led by even him just around had stormed the oil ports last

week when the bin where he has more now from tripoli. forces loyal to warlord have to have finally showed the two major oil terminals. and the rustler north that were taken control of by forces loyal to the former chief of the petroleum facilities guard brahim i should run now forces loyal to a run have just confirmed that they have withdrawn from the oil crescent area and they have not mentioned a specific reason for that was do all but we understand that hefted his forces have been supported by drones and fighter jets and also according to local sources in the area. of strikes were conducted by have to his forces and set to measure the oil storage tanks on fire and also killed

a couple of civilians during the last few days according to hospital staff that is the hospital in as deadly as it is around one hundred fifty two kilometers to the southwest west of from one of ozzy according to the hospital staff they say that they have received fifteen bodies of photo has been to war lord khalifa haftar and twenty five other wandered in this battle today there are reports of more fighting in the nicaraguan city of messiah funerals have been held for three people killed there on tuesday and the government protesters have been fighting police and paramilitary since the city declared that it no longer recognizes the authority of president and danny in order to get dozens of people have been killed across think there are going weeks of violent protests against ortega originally sparked by his plans for reforms to welfare benefits.

speak now to michael and have paolo who is in the capital monopoly and joins us now via skype i want can you tell us about this latest outbreak of violence and. in nicaragua has been the site of some of the most extreme and brutal violence that the country has been going through since the start of this crisis earlier this week on tuesday a government offensive left at least six people dead as police forces were trying to regain control of the city from the resistance movement that that's formed there it appeared that yesterday after president or degas had formally invited members of the international community a delegation from the united nations to come and observe the crisis that the violence had halted now what we're learning today is that there was yet another offensive in the more fighting in the city and and it's very difficult to to confirm whether or not there been any injuries whether or not there been any deaths as a result of that fighting today but we do know i spoke to members and faith leaders of the catholic church today that point to caravan to leave monoglot to head to

messiah to sort of put themselves between protesters and demonstrators and that appears to have halted the violence at least for now at least for work today but what we're hearing from overwhelmingly from members of this resistance movement in messiah is that these anti-government demonstrators demonstrators would sooner die than give up the city so there's a tension that even though by a once as called for now it could spark up again at any moment. i suppose in difficult posts to reign in the violence but do you think this means that peace talks in the country have stalled indefinitely. absolutely peace talks or are suspended indefinitely what would what i can tell you is that one of the main conditions for the u.s. for this national dialogue has has been for the government to commit to ending this violent crackdown against demonstrators in the country this hasn't happened attacks like the ones that we've seen in messiah earlier this week like the ones that we.

were taking place today are happening almost on a daily basis and and police are still trying to take back control of of messiah we've reached out and he did lead to the government for comment on this ongoing violence and fortunately we we haven't heard back on any of these requests but it appears that the only thing that that's doing anything to stop this violence is for members of the catholic church to physically put themselves between the demonstrators and the government forces. thank you so much for bringing us up to date the latest from when i was scotu israeli with the prime minister says the german chancellor has agreed to withdraw a draft the e.u. agreement on migration that would have seen asylum seekers return to the first e.u. country they arrived in angela merkel is under severe pressure to strike a deal by the end of next week a deadline set by her coalition partners from berlin dominic cain has more. angela

merkel's plans for the informal e.u. mini summit taking place in brussels on sunday have just got a little bit more difficult because the knowledge that the intaglio prime minister was unhappy with some of the suggested conclusions that may emerge from the full blown summit taking place in brussels at the end of next week next week was so strong that she'll have to call him during a visit that she's making to the middle east over the course of today and tomorrow to reassure him about what would be discussed on sunday and to remove elements that he found were unacceptable because that's remember here he is now in charge of a government in italy that is more euro skeptic in turn the other development is another interesting element of the euro skepticism growing in parts of europe that the visa ground group for countries of central eastern europe poland the czech republic slovakia and hungary all saying they intend to boycott this mini summit taking place on sunday now the point is they have not been invited to that means

think about what is clear here is this is the sense that the euro skeptic governments are now trying to put the pressure on and get them out and the european union to show how they don't want to fit in with the range plans that anger merkel appear to be trying to get too close to an agreement. the view there from germany meanwhile the number of north african migrants and refugees entering europe via spain is up three fold this year and this month spain has seen almost twice as many arrivals as it usually has many more authorities believe it may be a shifting trend to the western mediterranean migration. reports now from the port city of america in southeastern spain. down the gangplank. first cautious steps to europe. and the world blanket's their eyes soak in first impressions of the land they hope will bring a better life. health for some to hobble to
