6:51 pm
be british and to be covered in just a matter of couple of days the president wants basically the same structure of government that is currently in place while the opposition leader rick machar wants the twenty fifteen peace deal to be revived he wants to have his own army under his own command while the south and his government has its own army so basically two armies in one country he also wants to be replaced to be reinstated back as a vice president a position which he held in twenty thirteen before he was sacked which resulted in the civil war and again held after an agreement in ten or fifteen which also field when fighting broke out in the capital juba in twenty sixteen so basically what he wants is to be reinstated and he wants to have his own army which he says is for his own protection the protection of his people now south sudan has made it very clear they do not want that so it's very hard to see how those two sides can come together in a couple of days to try to bridge their differences and struck a deal or come together next week when there jew again for me this time in sudan

and they're running out of time on yes they are and now the difference is when the talks happen in sudan will be determined for. june and they have a very little they have very little time to try to strike a deal the the i guess which is the regional bloc mediating between the two sides so that they should strike a deal before the e.u. summit in iraq showed which on the first of july and the un security council gave the un secretary-general the mandate to see if the two sides do manage to strike a deal before the thirtieth of june which in case they fail there will be an arms embargo imposed and sanctions on several officials from both sides now south sudan does not want sanctions they said that the international community should stop meddling in its affairs and that they would be able to handle their own conflicts and problems and. frankly to see that they would be able to do that in a matter of five days into the twenty fifth of june and the photo as of june would be very hard and even if by some miracle these two sides do manage to broker a deal usually about many of the armed groups operating in south sudan and they're not even at the table no they're not at this table unfortunately since twenty fifth

a trump administration official since may more than two thousand children have been taken from their parents after they crossed the border illegally every hours under reports now from the frontline of the crisis at the southern u.s. border. all she wanted was a better life jennifer and her three children an eighteen month old and six and three year old were all arrested last week after crossing into the united states and asking for asylum she tells me she fled the political violence and the lack of opportunity back home in nicaragua a judge let her out of jail but she's not free her crime illegally crossing the u.s. border is zero tolerance policy jennifer her children and many others have been staying at this small shelter run by the catholic church and macallan texas. jennifer did not want to be interviewed on camera and she did not want her last name used she's scared but in many ways she's lucky she doesn't understand why her children were

not separated from her like the more than two thousand three hundred other children that were there donald trump's zero tolerance immigration policy or asylum seekers those children remain in sheltered detention centers and nobody seems to know how or when they will be reunited. also in macallan was first lady maloney a trump visiting one such shelter which had taken in several children separated from their parents due to her husband's hardline policy but her show of compassion is being overshadowed by the jacket she wore on the plane on the way to texas trump spokes person in minutes was a jacket just like this one with the words i really don't care to you but not to read anything into it. civil rights activists also visiting macallan were less concerned about the first lady's attire more concerned about president trump's executive order to in separations of the border which they say is now too little
6:56 pm
too late. this is one of the most. thinkable legs that i have seen in these don't serve despicable things this is near the top of the list we're here a day after there was an executive order which really is very very little of the current crisis. it's temporary it's not a permanent solution as for jennifer she's been holding on to her faith for future uncertain but grateful she at least once or children give rosendo. macallan texas. they use artificial donald tusk is in austria for talks with chancellor sebastian kurtz on migration policies of a major summit at the end of this month because well alexis in december i want stricter policies to stop refugees entering and moving through the e.u. later thirsk will travel to hungary my health sit down but right when lead to victory. both cuts and obama part of an emerging and newly influential hardline
6:57 pm
right bloc in the european union and the leaders of poland slovakia and czech republic come from a similar political viewpoint wealth italy's new government is also right wing crucially in germany chancellor angela merkel is under pressure from elements within her own coalition to agree to strict to e.u. wide policies on migration and that's raising questions about whether there could be a split within the union between those who want to maintain the current system and those calling for borders to be closed. that's talked out to dominate came he's joining us for more on this live from berlin so drove about domestic issues there in germany just a sec first meeting the austrian and the hung garion leaders why are they causing such a split on this issue of my of migration. well basically or because they don't seem to share the sentiment to the perspective of president of
6:58 pm
chancellor merkel of the leaders of the larger of the european countries all who have been saying they want to find a solution to the immigration crisis but they don't believe that it should be done that countries should act unilaterally and that's what the that's affecting the mood music that's been coming from meetings between merkel americal but the point is that that's what she wants to see implemented that's what president donald tusk of the european council be talking about chancellor courts to prime minister all around today but the reality is that the reception he'll get will be called deal but they don't agree certainly mr autobahn well he and his party the party have been been amending the constitution in hungary to make it a criminal offense to provide assistance to people who hunger in state considers to be illegal aliens they also change the constitution to say that hungary must be spared from the settlement of what the wording was alien populations and in austria
6:59 pm
mr cortes the chancellor he's from a center right party but he's in coalition with the far right freedom party of austria and there you see it we've seen a certainly a toughening of the rhetoric of also of the policy regarding immigration in austria and as i say in hungary too so mr cook this is the first excuse me is visiting trying to drum up some form of support for what he has in mind at the end of next week's. summit taking the full e.u. summit in brussels but also the back of his mind is the fact that there is this mini summit this unofficial summit taking place this day is the courts will be there this sunday the question will be what sort of policy changes he wants to see . ok dominic many thanks indeed for joining us there from berlin let's go to matthew goodwin he's visiting senior fellow for the europe program at chatham house and joins us live from london so summit was just same as mini summit on sunday and a bigger one at the end of the month what is the chance of the e.u.
7:00 pm
can find a unified solution i think the chance is very small i think there are two key things happening in europe right now one is that we are seeing very high levels of public concern over the issues of immigration and the refugee crisis those are closely linked to security in the minds of many voters but the second thing that we're seeing is really the rapid emergence of these very deep and irreconcilable divides between different e.u. member states over this issue of the refugee crisis and the type of europe that they want to build is it is it fair enough that we're getting this call from the southern a new country is for the northern countries to do more it's certainly legitimate for italy for example in greece to ask for.
