and that's going to matthew goodwin is 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 that the e.u. 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 you countries for the northern countries to do more

it's certainly legitimate for italy for example in greece to ask for more systems from the e.u. member states we've just had a very big debate about the rise of populism in italy what that debate has often neglected is the fact that quite a few e.u. member states were not doing their fair share in terms of helping it to league rappel with the refugee crisis so those southern periphery states where the vast majority of refugees and migrants are landing are rightly frustrated that they're not being given as much assistance as they should be given from their fellow e.u. neighbors why are we talking about a refugee crisis again we have that spike back in two thousand and fifteen didn't mean that a million people came in to the e.u. why are we seeing more people arriving again now. well this crisis is not going away in iraq to do in late twenty fourteen twenty fifteen with those very large

numbers of people coming not only from syria in iraq but also parts of northern africa what we've seen since then of those numbers gradually decline but they're still relatively my numbers are certainly from the perspective of most voters and the simple demographics of that lie behind this crisis mean that europe is going to face continual on going demographic pressures europe itself is aging european populations are getting older north africa and populations are younger and they're growing faster and so europe is not going to be able to duck this crisis over the longer term it's going to continue to cultivate a lot of public companies and a lot of support for populist policies. there's this idea to expand north african detention centers just give us an idea of how that would work. well so one of

the ideas in terms of how to solve this crisis within the e.u. is to set up these sort of reception processing centers some way within northern africa and those centers would effectively process applications for asylum and try and differentiate between genuine asylum seekers people who are looking to get to europe for work the problem at the moment of course is when you look at those states like tunisia for example or egypt or libya nobody's really in a situation to be able to accommodate those centers and certainly there's very little willingness to do so but europe is looking for a solution longer term question a challenge facing europe is where the taxpayers of voters within europe are going to be happy to be spending large amounts of. money on propping up african states trying to prevent people from leaving because the evidence on whether that's actually going to make any difference is quite mixed so there's no

real long term coherent solution to this crisis yet but perhaps the two summits over the next week will all help to push europe in that direction we will see and i think goodman thanks very much for joining us from london. well the man who claims to be the leader of i saw in indonesia has been sentenced to death for his involvement in a series of bombings judges. and has been across these are two thousand and ten planned the attacks from president reports from jakarta. security was tied to the verdict at the court in south africa after hundreds of police and soldiers were on guard among a black man was convicted of planning a gun and bomb attack on a starbucks coffee shop in two thousand and sixteen. in which four civilians were killed and four other attacks he was in a maximum security prison at the time but use mobile phones and the internet to spread his teachings and the man who carried out the attacks visited him in prison

beforehand. therefore sentencing on rahman alias abdul rahman with the death penalty. last month more than thirty people died including the bombers in a series of suicide attacks at churches and at a colleague's station in the city of. families with young children carrying suicide belts were held responsible police have said they were members of month's group and charge. a deal about the may month. there is fear among police that this verdict could become a trigger for revenge attacks by sympathizers who are not really involved in j.t. but can operate as lone wolves who have been soft radicalized. more than four hundred suspected members of j a d have been arrested since the beginning of the year this verdict is not only seen as a strong message to those involved in terror attacks in indonesia but also to the ideological leaders counter terrorism laws have recently been revised to make it

easier to prosecute those inciting violence but above all this case has put the spotlight on indonesia's present system notoriously lacking security firm filner was injured during the attack at starbucks judges decided to say compensation should be paid to him and out of victims of attacks but not as much as they wanted to becoming more at ease with this situation this is just a time factor and. the time heals the wounds and the memories of the past. the closure will come war because of the decision by the judges or the panel of churches to grant compensation and thereby contributing to the closure then the actual conviction. in court. down and kissed the ground after the verdict was read out he said he won't appeal step fossum al-jazeera jack after. had her on this news hour including oil

producing countries debating whether the time is right to pump out more crude. plus . and once a shift that mindset the posse pollution problem can disappear by so i mean the malaysian businessman who's finding value in the world's waste. and his war priscilla back in action at the world cup today before there will be head anyhow and their preparations are going to. european union tariffs on u.s. imports was worth more than two point six billion dollars came into effect on friday present and get allies pays interest on steel and imports into the united states and then response the e.u. is imposing its own levies on products that include honey daves and motorcycles whiskey and orange juice and they largely target states that voted for trump and

the republicans. joins us live from london now also need how difficult was it for the e.u. to impose these tariffs. or use trade commissioner cecilia miles from earlier in the week said that this was something of a reluctant move put a necessary one they say that the decision to slap or tariffs or billions of dollars worth of u.s. imports is all within the rules of the world trade organization this of course a response to donald trump's decision to slap terrorism resume on imports of an opinion but steel into the e.u. last month the decision described by younker the e.u. european commission chief has defied all logic here in history this is it appears all about making as much noise as possible was about sending a symbolic message to the white house which explains why some of the companies and brands have been singled out as having least to pull them including levi's jeans

this is their flagship store regent street in london polly davidson motorcycle. as is also on the list along with following their own juice imports of cranberries bourbon from kentucky and imports of some metal items from the united states as well the e.u. is made it clear that if this is going to escalate it any way into or further back and forth more tit for tat trade tariff exchanges between the e.u. and the united states that the e.u. is prepared to do what's necessary to defame this produces and its consumers but how much more leverage do they have and what else can the e.u. do to penalize the u.s. . already we've heard donald trump suggesting that the european car market may be singled out next for possible terrorists going into the u.s. in the near future the e.u.

as well prepared so please hold something back there keeping some of their power to draw in of the amounts around three point six billion dollars worth of morro u.s. products are potentially targeted with tariffs in the future but the world trade organization is currently considering a complaint by the e.u. against the united states rules in the e.u. favor right now though the e.u. is saying on the surface at least that it wants to bring the united states the negotiating table possibly with china as well to make sure that this does not escalate into anything further anything more dangerous ok need many thanks we update that from london now the world's largest oil producing countries are meeting to decide whether to increase production that would likely mean a drop in prices saudi arabia and russia want opec to relax tighter controls but iran and venezuela are holding out extractions on oil production have nearly tripled the price of oil since two thousand and sixteen or brennan joins us live

now from vienna cipel what are the issues that these opec ministers are wrestling with. yeah there's several issues that they're wrestling with as the prospects that demand for oil will escalate during twenty eighteen and into twenty nineteen and of course on the other side of the supply demand equation you've got sanctions which are going to be kicking in against iran and you've got the venezuelan economy the venezuelan oil industry which appears to be in something close to free fall as far as the last outputs balancing the market is what opec tries to do and setting a price and setting an output is what they're trying to do at this ministerial meeting what they have is disagreements about how to do that in saudi arabia and russia want to see a gradual easing of the current restrictions restrictions which are put in place back in january twenty seventh seen due to continue all the way through to the end of this year but they want to see that finish early iran on the other hand is

unhappy about that with those sanctions kicking in on iran they don't want to see the price reduce any that would be a double whammy for them so they're very keen for that not to happen they also see the not so hidden hand of the american president donald trump in all of this and in the meeting at the start of the meeting the iranian oil minister said that it's not for donald trump to tell opec how to behave so there are political issues there are geopolitical concerns and of course there's the men in the room who have to come to some deal at the end of this you have found that that's going to be a very difficult prospect pull. yeah i mean the iranian oil minister walked out of the j. m.m.c. last night the joint ministerial monitoring committee which sort of looks at the state of the market. came out and recommended an increase of around a million barrels a day to be pumped into the markets the iranian wasn't there to hear that he'd already stormed out it's clear that they're not happy that said at the small sort

of round table where the media were allowed into the now going into a closed session it seemed that the iranians while a direct quote is that he was saying that they were cooking something up as far as an agreement looks like there is the possibility at least of. an opening of the spigot and opening of the taps as far as oil production it certainly won't be as high as a million barrels a day i don't think but if opec is to keep everybody on side and produce a unanimous communique at the end of this meeting i think it will have to be compromise and it's probably likely to be somewhere in the low hundred thousand barrels per day ok paul stay there and there keep an eye on things as they progress in vienna thanks very much for joining us. but as well as those from the euro zone have agreed on a deal aimed at releasing greece from its eight year bailout program in august it payments due on billions of dollars in loans will now be delayed by ten years and greece will be given another seventeen billion dollars to help has debts the

government avoided bankruptcy in two thousand and ten but it led to many public sector cuts and tax increases and a chance for up less reports many greeks think you're starting measures have done more harm than good. during the economic depression in greece twenty called business has fallen by two thirds many of her clients are bankrupt and jobless even homeless so she often cuts on credit so they can go to a job interview. has moved premises twice looking for a more affluent community and she's cut her prices by half but rising taxes have convinced her that the government doesn't want her business to survive. we're not being heard at all now our voice doesn't count we're definitely closing down slowly slowly if we're not careful we're going to close down the way the government's going that's what their plan is this is what they showing us what the hey guys you'll be working for us until you can handle it until you get into debt and we just want you to close down we want whatever property you have whatever is yours we

want it all started policies were originally meant to turn the greek economy around in two years so far they've lasted eight and as a result of them seven hundred thousand people are no longer considered little plus there are achievements the budget is balanced the government spends mobile than it raises in taxes so it's not getting deeper into debt greek labor is more competitive because salaries fell so exports are up the number of tourists has doubled in three years greek agricultural products now bring a quarter of the money that enters the country and shipping remains a traditional strength but business is dependent on domestic consumption a suffering a million people remain jobless most of the rest saving up to pay taxes economists say in the hands of politicians the medicine of austerity did as much harm as good but if i can make a comparison i would consider it someone who has was suffering from cancer and can with erika and with therapy has been given to him which means that although the

goods they bad cells have been dead now the good cells have also died a lot of them at least and which makes the the country as a whole of the organism losing its muscle losing its strength the end of the adjustment program was meant to be a turning point when greece's sacrifices began to pay off but it is difficult to find anyone who now believes the country is on the right path taxes remain high the political climate is polarized and people are traumatized it is as though a war has just ended but there is no sense. that greece is returning to normality and that is a deterrent to investors so is the way in which the refugee crisis has destabilized european politics and undermined solidarity transatlantic trade war and rising global interest rates could see greece back in receivership. al-jazeera africans and humans have over whether with role and that still ahead here on out there

campaigning without. mexico's election to find death threats to rally for votes. supporters of kurdish politicians rally ahead of turkey's elections and why they say there is disadvantage. and in support here celebrations in christ and the knockout stages of the world cup. the weather sponsored by caterham. pretty close to the wettest place in the world the northeast of india it is still flooded there in southern assign we know about this floods every year we've had some pretty bad ones in the last three or four days this is sort of legacy flooding because recent rays have been quite as bad but as you can see there are still floods now with the monsoon advancing you think we

can top these up fairly regularly and people be used to it but the monsoon the front the bounce is pretty hard to turn a moment you would see this is about where it should be in the north of bangladesh hundred twenty millimeters in twenty four hours middle of india sort of one hundred hundred seventy five on the west coast that is about her right for a week from tension fact what you get in northern pakistan these random thunderstorms this time of year is about the same amount of rain so it's not quite should be in fact on the fifteenth of june that should be the forward edge of the monsoon trough talking up through the pole by the first of july it should be almost all over india or through delhi where will it be i don't think so ahead of it of course is the pre monsoon heat and it's not particularly high and i would dropped away from the fifty's in a couple degrees above where it should be but the monsoon rains they are yet to make significant progress. the weather sponsored by cattle always.

it was a war that united egypt and syria against israel but in the heat of the battle that different agendas soon became apparent i suppose the dream was to the fringe to see tonight's a six to seven when closed in so that came to throw up he told us just give me ten centimeters of land in the used the second of a three part series the israeli population were told that their troops were on the west bank of the series connex poems the second week of the war in october on al-jazeera. grow in a very short time to be a trusted news source wherever you are in the world he really want to know what's going on there and find out very quickly we know looking at the news from some nations prism. we are probably international everybody will learn something watching our coverage. we share in that we can be the best international news and mistrust and source of stories that people actually can't find elsewhere and that's

going to continue. and again you're watching out there as reminder of our top stories this hour peace talks in ethiopia between south sudan's president salva kiir and rebel leader wrecked my child have broken down on wednesday the two rivals met for the first time in two years in addis ababa along with regional leaders a new round of talks is expected next week in the sudanese capital khartoum. the world's largest oil producers are meeting in vienna to decide whether to increase production a move that would likely mean a drop in petrol prices saudi arabia and russia want opec to relax tight controls

but iran and venezuela holding out. on the european union's top of. donald tusk is in austria for meeting the. immigration policies will likely top the agenda ahead of a major new summit at the end of the month. now all efforts are underway to be night by u.s. president donald trump's zero tolerance policy attempts to good night the u.s. congress on legislation to have a whole immigration system have hit a major stumbling block has more from washington d.c. . a day of sound and fury on capitol hill this isn't america first bail it secures america saw the borders let's give them an opportunity to lead another day but one that ended signifying nothing as members failed to pass an immigration overhaul the bill was not passed the legislation backed by hard line conservatives in the ruling republican party would have stopped separation of families at the border but also would have okayed twenty five billion dollars on president donald

trump's border wall and drastically tighten existing rules on legal immigration in another sign of legislative dysfunction voting was delayed on a rival plan for have more moderate republicans it too has given slim odds of passage opposition democratic party members unanimously opposed both bills despite controlling both houses of congress and the white house republicans are so badly divided they can't seem to accomplish anything on immigration in a meeting with his cabinet and despite overwhelming legal opinion to the contrary blame democrats for the policy of separating children including p.b.s. from their parents at the border then he took credit for ending it a crisis he himself started after acting h.h.s. t.h.s. and d.o.j. to work together to keep illegal immigrant families together. during the

immigration process and to reunite these previously separated groups democratic party leaders fired back the president is either not knowing not caring delusional and denial about his own policies being beat outside the circle of civilized human behavior more than a half dozen states say they plan to sue the trumpet ministration over family separation yet the trumpet ministration is possibly preparing to detain many more children the pentagon has been asked to find room for twenty thousand migrant children in makeshift shelters on military bases the president likes to boast about how many times he has appeared on the cover of time magazine this week's cover may please him somewhat less rob reynolds al-jazeera washington.

there is opposition says two and a half million people turned out for a rally in the city of his near n.j. is seen as the most serious opposition challenger to president. the longtime m.p. is a secular politician but his campaign is also reaching out to sunni muslim voters president obama is set to hold a series of smaller rallies ahead of the election on sunday. and a jailed presidential candidate in turkey has used his twitter account to hold a political rally from his prison cell leader of the pro kurdish people's democratic party faces terrorism charges several kurdish members of parliament have been stripped of their positions and jailed since a state of emergency was imposed in twenty sixteen so i'm got reports from istanbul . this is how supporters of the pro kurdish peoples the aquatic party or h.t.t.p. are motivating themselves ahead of turkey's election on june twenty fourth up to like him dutch is hoping to get a seat in parliament but he says his party is the most disadvantaged in the country

they cheapies presidential candidates a lot and demi trash has been in jail for more than eighteen months on security charges. we don't have any channel for propaganda the ruling party controls the press or politicians are in jail president has everything in hand to campaign freely is not fair an armed struggle between the state and the separatist kurdistan workers' party or p k k has lasted decades costing at least forty thousand lives. and the peace process walked down in two thousand and fifteen the following year a state of emergency was imposed after a failed coup attempt professor fox came on doesn't believe the kurdish issue is being properly addressed in his call to actually go back to the you know sort of political solution both inside mainly you know outside.

and of course turkey has all the right who are you know sort of secure its borders is still totally integrity it's state but turkey would be much more safe and much more stable if turkey actually makes a deal with the kurds not only in turkey but this specially in syria. after i came back face the turkish government subjective it's clear. as the peace process and that the government allied itself with the nationalist party look how they reacted against the independence referendum in the iraqi kurdistan they don't want us to gain any status the kurds are determined to make their votes count those who live on what i have fourteen kids and twelve votes in my home or votes are for the. kurds account for up to twenty percent a fifth of turkey's eighty million population and despite the lack of trust between

them and the state they are still seen as having a private to rule in an election that is changing turkey's political system for the first time turkish voters will choose the exact a president and parliament at the same time if the court is people some of us are hard to see her risk to support several twenty per cent threshold it will enter parliament and this is seen as a game changer because even if the presence erred on the wins in the first round his party could risk losing its majority seat on course although al-jazeera stumbled. syrian activists are reporting several civilians have been injured after government helicopters dropped barrel bombs in the province of tehran and a separate location activists say six people have been killed by shelling by syrian government forces a local official has told al-jazeera the more than twenty three thousand civilians have been displaced in the east and there are countryside in the past three days. a man known as romania's most powerful politician has been jailed for three and

with relative impunity they are not willing to let that go. politicians who refuse the criminals off or who are aligned with a rival group risk this one of the now almost daily funerals medal candidate one hundred chavis was mourned on the same day we spent with elizabeth. it's a bleak picture with an unprecedented number of candidates up for election in less than two weeks this seems playing out across the country as candidates make their last pitch and what are the biggest elections in mexico's history but rather than a celebration of democracy in many places they're showing how intertwined politics and organized crime are. of course it's not just politicians being killed the country's general murder levels have exploded to the highest on record elizabeth says what's keeping her in the race is the chance to change that now for there was

that we can't stop because if we're living with this violence the question is how far will it go where will it end we can't leave this as our children's inheritance soon a new crop of leaders will have the chance to show if they can protect the mexicans including them so john homan does it or. i was there as long as the second phase of international press freedom campaign when the news is restricted and censored the press is not free it condemns the harassment of journalists and urges people to demand press freedom around the world the launch comes one years and saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt impose a blockade against qatar one of their demands is the closure of this network. and al jazeera journalist backward hussein has spent more than five hundred days in them ships and prison his daughter has issued a public appeal for her father's release. my father.

again who has spent his life in the recycling industry helping out with his parents' business before building his own plastics factory the so much you know variable stuff that's packed into it and the minute you understand that you will create so much high value material comes out from that once you see that as a potential you approach it totally differently you think about how we're going to strike there what resources i'm going to pick you know put into that and once a share of that my search party pollution problem in disappear by so i see as company has increased the volume of waste it handles already this year by twenty eight percent developed countries have been looking for alternatives since china's ban on plastic waste imports took effect at the start of this year the u.k. for example has now tripled its exports of plastic waste to malaysia. some recycling companies here use a combination of local and imported waste but it's the important waste.
