they're putting measures in place to try and change the situation to protect children and it's under that caviar that they are listed again this is been controversial for some years now the other country that has fought not to be on the list is israel and they again have not been listed not clear to me whether that's just israeli pressure or also u.s. pressure i can tell you in the report it says that fifteen children were killed by israeli security forces in the year twenty seventeen but israel does not significantly get a listing as one of those parties that should be put in this blacklist james bays diplomatic editor and you are in new york thank you james now there is little sign of consensus over what to do about europe's migration cries the sixteen e.u. leaders meeting for two days trying to figure out what to do with the thousands of refugees and migrants turning up in their waters eventually on the shores of the dispute between them continues ahead of a big meeting on thursday none of it of course any consolation when you think about

some of these people the two hundred thirty have been stranded off malta as each of the e.u. countries concerned argues with its neighbor over where the german rescue ship should dock let's check in with dominic cain is live at the germany austrian border near the town of visit shots buck dominic tell us about why you're there and what you're saying. yes there's the time spots but you're right that we're on the austrian german border specifically because here as you can see behind me there are police controlling the borders here this is something that happens on parts of the border it's a derogation from the shang an agreement that germany is part of the border free travel specifically done to check the identity of the documentation of people crossing this border the point behind this is that the varian government and the c.s.u. party which governs here and which also controls the interior ministry of germany wants to have much more border control taking place not just here not just in

bavaria but across germany's borders to get a better idea of who's presenting themselves claiming asylum rather in the way that the people on board the m.v. lifeline are claiming asylum the issue is what to do with them because let's be clear here in germany it is dividing this government this coalition government angle americans party the christian democrats say the germany well it has a role to play a humanitarian role to play a christian social union says yes maybe but not into our state we want to check things better we don't want to be a in a situation where undocumented people are presenting themselves so we're here just to show shed light as it were on what takes place here because as i say the various government would happily see many more of these controls elsewhere so does it weaken mrs merkel's position as we look to this summit on thursday it is because i mean obviously europe and the world does look to her as a leader of the continent. yes

well that's the point here isn't it she had said people remember in the summer of twenty fifteen she opened the borders having seen the plight of of refugees and migrants who were gathering on the borders of other european countries when there was this question what would happen to them remember what's at stake here the crux of this is what happens to migrants to refugees who claim asylum in one e.u. country and then want to travel to another to claim asylum there it's called officially secondary migration the point here is that in bavaria the government here really doesn't want to see that happen whereas angela merkel well she now says well all countries have some sort of responsibility and there's this idea that e.u. countries should share out the amount of migrants of refugees so that no one country has mass waves of migration into them but the problem is when that's put at a european level of a europe wide level many countries really say well we don't want that specifically not that far from here the austrian government is very wary of that sort of idea

and then further east still you have what's called the visa ground for those of the countries of the czech republic slovakia poland and hungary hungary specifically is very recently changed its constitution to criminalize helping people its government considers to be illegal immigrants and changing the constitution to say that alien populations have no place in on their territory so you get this sense that what angle america wants not necessarily what she's going to get when it comes to brussels on thursday and friday ok thank you dominic cain who's on the germany austria border there and just to expand on some of what dominic was saying there more than a year ago the european commission actually laid out five scenarios for the future of europe anything from less cooperation up to deeper integration and today you've got these e.u. countries roughly divided into two camps you've got the big powers the germany the france spain they want a joint european solution to immigration the german chancellor as you've heard there thinks a deal to just. tribute refugees and migrants more evenly across the continent is

the best solution but then let's look at these ones in other colors italy the czech republic poland slovakia hungary they want measures put in place to deter migration at the transit countries down on the other side of the mediterranean in libya and now obviously these are just some of the countries in europe but you can see there is a definite geographic split there so let's talk more about this with julia in brussels a senior analyst on e.u. migration and asylum policies at the open society european policy institute it is nice to have you with us julia this is trying to find any sort of consensus in europe at the best of times is difficult to spot the name of european union would you hold out any hope for this meeting on thursday to actually come up with something remotely concrete. well i think both the divisions and the crisis migration refugee crisis are overblown on the one hand if you look

at the actual numbers of people reaching europe i mean we've had forty five thousand irregular arrivals across the mediterranean this year that's the total for the whole of europe at forty five thousand people is the size of a small town in most european countries or to talk about crisis it's slightly over sit in the fact of course that's what the right wing of populist governments and movements in a number of european countries are claiming they tried to keep the crisis mode of going to shore up best for to exploit fears about migration for their own actual game. the problem with that kind of narrative is that it's become so in the trench that europe cause you to snap out of it. and so what we're going to see probably at the summit on thursday and friday is that there is a consensus emerging over the consensus is bridging the east west divide in the north south divide and that is basically a consensus around the idea of keeping people out and about the conclusions of the statements that will be published after some have been reached in draft form and

they may need to focus on expanding incident for protection and also this idea that's been floated by the austrians and others in really hungry into the most recently of offshoring is iron person things that are good for kind of australian are more about a sure sign of which would be completely unfeasible the european come thanks frank because it would be against the euro and also because they haven't actually bothered to talk to the countries that would host those reception front of a want to tend to spend. a second because i want i want to get another forty and i know you that you're conscious of of hyperbole and of things getting out of a blind spot assad to wonder if this migrant situation is the thing which could ultimately divide europe you know. ten years ago the economic crisis people talked about a two tier europe because of the the trouble the economic trouble which some countries were in the divide seems almost a stock on this issue and i wonder. how the group can really move forward together

. yes that's true as i said the consensus that is developing is sort of a very bad minimum of what they can agree on which is to try and keep most people out but there is also a feeling in in a number of european capitals but as you said migration could make or break the european project regardless of the actual numbers coming in just because of the ways be manipulated and so i think what will happen will happen to become even month or year in the need to repeal elections and beyond that is that we'll see coalitions of the willing in a core group of member states actually get together and try to find work or solution to rescue migrants and to share the science because across the block where some countries will all play out so i think as you quite rightly said well looking at multiple tiers if you're going in gauge one corporation which is something which a few years ago would have been seen as beyond the pale and i got to thank you so

much for your time and your thoughts on this one watching thursday very closely. couple of pieces around zero dot com i just want to direct you to was one is this it's a reporter's notebook from lawrence lee you know he does some objects reporting from around europe on this very topic this one is from the sun on a key in greece where he describes how the refugee reception crisis has as we just discussed which really are driven a huge fault line through the the other piece is from from al jazeera dot com with the german political angle which we were talking about with dominic one of her interviewees talks about a you migration policies being on the verge of disintegration two very good raids they are al jazeera dot com if you search for your refugee crisis lawrence lee and louis that have written those two pieces. now while we're still talking migration issues the been more protests against the u.s. government's actions on migration demonstrators are demanding answers for the delays in reuniting migrant children with their parents and there seems to be

confusion as well of the whereabouts of some of those children in recent weeks more than two thousand of them were taken from their families under the zero tolerance policy where people entering the u.s. illegally face prosecution years president donald trump is since signed his executive order of course to reunite them after huge outrage from the public activists politicians and lawmakers here is gabriel elizondo in texas for us this morning hi gabriel the as i said the can the confusion goes on because there were so many children involved they got dispersed to all parts of the country there was no order involved and no i guess trying to bring these kids back together what a task. yeah it's really confusing and we've been saying that over and over for the last few days but there's just no who other word to describe what's going on down here on the southern border of the united states and that confusion reigns supreme here and what we just heard from the head of the customs and border protection is

that they are no longer going to be criminally prosecuting migrants or asylum seekers that cross into the u.s. illegally why perhaps because there's no longer enough detention space to put everybody here in the united states because a policy has been in place for nearly two months now that was of course reversed last week an exit in an executive order by president donald trump there simply isn't enough play detention facilities to put everybody we've heard from the department of defense that they've been ordered to look into building more ten shelters at least on at least two military bases here in texas but there are a whole host of unanswered questions primarily what to do with the people that are already in detention centers what are they going to be are they going to be facing a judge what is going to be their future here are they going to be free to pursue their better life here in america and pursue their asylum claims and also of course as you mentioned what to do with the more than two thousand children that are still

being held here in the united states in shelters several of which are in this city right here brownsville that have not been reunited with their parents so many questions so few answers oh my goodness gabrielle is on the thank you for that deborah is in texas there on the border with mexico we've also got brian graphy with us regional research and advise the from amnesty international joining us from washington thank you brooke i mean listen to what gabriel said that kind of makes a mockery of the whole executive order in the first place which was seen as a big huge turn but again no organization no coordination and sort of a cliche but it's the children who suffer right. i think it's spot on and let's not be mistaken this executive order did not end family separation what it did was that it replaced the trauma to children and parents of a family separation with arbitrary family detention which as of yet is not lawful practice itself in the united states what about the conditions that children are

kept in we've seen a lot about that we've heard a lot about that what are you. what you personally if it is amnesty able to get involved in this at all to help the children to improve things. well what has to happen right now is that they need to be released there's as you said over two thousand families who've been recently just in the last six or seven weeks separated as part of this cruel policy of trying to impose mental anguish on families in order to compel them to give up their saddam claims or never come to begin with and so right now we've seen i think your correspondent said it correctly a very chaotic scene on the ground where since the time of trump's unexpected executive order the next day the border authorities said that they were going to continue business as usual including the practice of family separations in some cases then we've also heard that now they've done

a little bit of an about face and said they're no longer going to be referring families crossing regularly for criminal prosecution yet at the same time they've clearly expressed the department homeland security has that they have no intention of reuniting these families unless and until they voluntarily sign deportation papers to go back to the very countries that they fled persecution and so what we're seeing now is also from reports from the ground overnight that authorities have been seeking to compel asylum seekers in detention who are separated from their children to give up their claims and self deport back to their countries of origin this comports with what we identified on the ground as well we've talked a lot about obviously the children who've already arrived the children who've already been separated the ones they're trying to reunite effect is people are going to still keep coming to the border aren't they would not this this this is not the story is not over and how they are treated and how they processed going forward has got to be crucial. don't be mistaken right now we're in

a moment of the world's greatest refugee crisis since at least world war two the u.n.h.c.r. the un refugee agency came out with new statistics on world refugee day last week that indicated that over twenty five million refugees around the world your previous segment was touching on the refugee crisis in europe this is no different we're seen large numbers of refugees but at the same time we need to recognize that there are historic lows in the number of people seeking to enter the u.s. to claim to cross the border regularly or entering without legal status to be here including asylum seekers and what we're seeing now on the border is a manufactured crisis that's being ginned up during a midterm election year where the current administration is trying to him so this narrative that there's a these migrant hordes who are seeking to enter the u.s. we have a system in the u.s. already that can handle this refugee influx that can accommodate these people appropriately and in line with us law and without breaking up families and

violating the rights of both children and parents and this is why the deliberate effort to cause mental anguish on these families through separation is something that amnesty said last week rises to the level of torture brown graffiti from amnesty thank you for joining us. as i go through just quickly before the break some of your comments on facebook it strikes me that basically we've spent the whole first half of this program talking about migration have we in some form or another had messaging us who i believe is somewhere in europe saying the visa for my family in afghanistan is impossible i miss my sister i have no way to invite her to my new safe home clearly she's gotten itself through to europe and then lots of you commenting on the travel ban being up held earl has said the twenty eighteen claims of his quote months border security just as hollow as the nine hundred ninety nine hundred forty four claims of court national security and karen watching on facebook live says my apologies to all muslims on behalf of america if you've got any comments you certainly got lots of views lots of passionate views on the

story do send them in to us the hash tag is a.j. news good twitter facebook whatsapp telegram. this is the news great if you're with us through facebook live an x. ray j. plus story coming up for you now about the dozens of migrant children say can be taken from texas to new york and then later the search for twelve children and their football coach entering a fourth night in the northern chung right province of time and navy divers read that operation out of the trunk by floodwaters in underground tanks. hello there there's lots of dry hot weather across the middle east at the moment that's to be expected but we're also seeing a few outbreaks of heavy downpours at times on our markets mostly in the far northwest impost that we're watching this storm system here it's making its way across parts of greece but eventually it's going to make its way towards turkey and

it will be mostly in the northwestern parts where we see the west of the weather here we're also we're seeing through some showers out towards the east over to stand off into karega stan plenty of showers here as they have been in recent days and there's likely to be plenty more still to come there for the towards the south and force in doha is just hearts and draw at the moment forty two degrees maximum on wednesday but then the winds begin to pick up a little bit more on thursday thursday does look like quite a blustery day and forty one degrees will be our maximum towards the southern parts of the printed to that's where we're likely to see more in the way of clouds so over policy over man and across into yemen there's life to be a bit more gray weather here and that will just take the edge of the temperatures and little bit down to a southern parts of africa and here for most of us it's fine and settled not a great deal of cloud showing up on the satellite picture a toe just in the eastern parts of madagascar we've got a few showers as we do in the eastern parts of mozambique and perhaps one or two intensity.

we will maintain the finest fighting force the world has ever known united states army was so reliant upon the private sector i would call it a dependency we have a mismatch between the way we. are to be here and the reality of the twenty first century enough to get. a deal for you and i would tool for you how many of the persons that you're sending out you should be child soldiers my concept my child soldiers reloaded on al-jazeera. is different from other channels because we're not just there when something happens we are there before it happens for there while it happens and we say we do have a permanent presence and a lot of places are not on. the back ground being in love and on is very important it's about syria it's about lebanon it's about the power struggle between

iran and saudi arabia it's all there and that's the challenge. head on from al jazeera dot com and what's trending as well that's been an interesting story the one of the top they're actually the mandela foundation they're about to have an annual meeting president obama's been invited to speak and

there are pressure groups and it's actually not appropriate for the mandela. foundation i would urge you to read that really interesting story twenty minute they are on the u.s. supreme court's ruling the breaking news out of that and trade wars as well involving don't trump and harley-davidson motorbikes you look into something different that's what a find it what's trending down to zero dot com the streets. are syrian government forces that have retaken two taking control of two towns in the eastern countryside and state media has been showing troops believed to be backed by iranian militia and during the town earlier on tuesday however the rebel f.s.a. free syrian army says fighting is ongoing in the area on the map who controls what the area we're talking about is right down here on the southern border with jordan . had a a one of those towns around here the green areas being what's left in rebel control in the red areas and syrian government forces in taking this town the government's

managed to cut off a key rebel supply line in that our province allowing more pro-government troops to move in and you reach a goal of this green area here all of that province it would give the government control right up to the border with jordan down the bottom and the golan heights the israeli occupied golan heights with the support. as the battle for debt intensifies pro syrian government forces say they've taken control of the two towns above sort of how do you and me. in the eastern that i countryside videos like this one purport to show troops many of whom are believed to be iranian backed militia members entering sort of how do you on tuesday the town has come under heavy bombardment and its capture is the first major government advance in this offensive that will allow the syrian army to advance more southwards thought of. the city of that i take it i think that

connecting. with that and occupying the values of allies that that which we have full of. groups from the guy that forget that the group that will allow. me to advance fast that i'm fast out of towards the city of that out. by cutting off a key rebel supply line indah province more pro-government troops will be able to move in retaking the entire province of debt i would give the government control over its border with jordan all the way to the israeli occupied golan heights. and in the extremely complicated terrain of syria's war analysts believe deals have already been made. i believe that is the eighty's they convinced the americans that we had a good deal with the russians now they are going to stay out of this of this of this anyhow and the city of regime will take control of that will be good for everybody what is

a need for the russians for jordan because jordan also although the jordanians actually are but it concerned about any new influx of refugees inside job done but they want very much actually to open the border crossing with syria because economically this is a very important lifeline for the jordanian economy according to the united nations forty five thousand people have so far fled the violence and headed toward the border with jordan concerns are growing about the humanitarian situation no matter the regime's recent advances rebels say they will continue to fight even as many wonder if this fight may be coming to an end. now sudan's foreign minister says south sudan's president salva kiir and the rebel leader right machar have reached an agreement on quote some points to end the civil war is over here attending the latest round of talks with his former deputy arraignments are this time in the sudanese capital khartoum the united nations has given both sides

till the end of the month to reach a peace deal or to face sanctions normally based in juba but right here in doha our correspondent here morgan to talk us through this one some points what are some points and is it enough for people to start thinking maybe this could be the beginning of something or first of all come on let's stress out that this is not an actual agreement right sudan proposed is a framework for an agreement between the two are inside which is south sudan's government led by president salva kiir and the opposition group which is led by rick my charge was the former vice president now this is a huge step just friday last week the president's spokesman came out and said we are not going to work with rick machar anymore we cannot tolerate him in our government we don't want him back although we are happy to welcome people from his group to come out today and say that they are willing to work together towards peace is a huge step and peace talks with sudan proposed as having three temporary capital cities for the for south sudan and also proposed securing south sudan's oil fields which benefits both south sudan and sudan and they also proposed

a permanent cease fire now nobody has signed anything yet they are still in talks whether this will go forward as it has if this framework is going to lay the grounds for a future agreement between the two warring parties or not but as it stands the only thing that the two sides have agreed to is to start to work together and end the conflict in south sudan but how they will go forward is still very much up in the air three capital cities and confusing enough in itself remind our viewers if you would just how bad it has got in south sudan when we talk about civil war it's a very easy phrase to size how bad has it been how long is it going on it's not just us when we say civil war it's not just what we would imagine in any other parts of the world now south sudan is a country with very poor infrastructure a lot of people are living in and. areas more than fifty percent of south sudan's population are in rural areas now the civil war has made it very difficult to access this rural population a lot of them are now relying on food aid more than seven and more than seven million people which is more than half of salsa dance population rely on food aid more than one million are at risk of famine if not reach immediately with humans

here in assistance and we already have a third of the country's population displaced and we're talking about four million people internally and in neighboring countries and that's quite desperate for a lot of people also in people who are in the capital juba who are who are not suffering from the word self are suffering the consequences they concentration is quite terrible for a lot of them many of them can't afford more than a military if that at all so yeah this is the war has affected almost everyone in south sudan regardless of where they are in the country a lot riding on this and we're hearing morgan thank you so much good to have you with us here. now navy divers have reentered a flooded cave this is in northern thailand part of a growing search for a missing football team twelve boys and their coach had gone exploring on saturday when rising water from a heavy rainstorm blocked their only exit scan hi-lo at this from chiang rai. for a third day hundreds of rescue workers continue their search but still no sign of the twelve players from the cademy football team and the twenty five year old coach

hi there come a funk you've got us foreign minister has held talks with the u.s. secretary of state mike pump ale in washington d.c. the pair discussed their bilateral relations as well as the society in the u.a.e. led blockade against qatar which is now into its second year but they all called on the caving countries to end the embargo two months ago sheikh mohammed bin abdul rahman donning said cuts are is willing to meet with all seating parties if a clear plan is made for those talks. to just go to where we consider the gulf cooperation council as an important bloc you know the reason we see the problems between saudi arabia and the u.a.e. with qatar are baseless the problem started with electronic piracy and with modern void issues we need to african nations and clear plans to sort out these matters the world's chemical weapons wash dog is meeting in the hague to discuss alleged chemical attacks in syria well the conference was requested by the u.k.

after a nerve agent attack on a former russian spy and his daughter here in england the fark it is their. the o.p.c. w. has convened this special conference of the organization at the behest of the united kingdom that claims that there is an attribution gap in the world at the moment when it comes to apportioning blame and pointing the finger countries groups or individuals that may have used chemical weapons united kingdom use that there has over the past twenty years been a disturbing increase in the number of chemical weapons attacks and the usage of chemical weapons and at the moment in the world there is no one individual group or organization that has the key responsibility of apportioning blame at the moment the o.p.c. w is primarily a technical organization russian federation argues that if it does have the power to attribute blame that it the entire workings of the organization could become

over politicized they have put forward their own proposal calling for the work of the o.p.c. w. to be strengthened going forward but it looks as if this could be a hate a discussion last thing several days the u.k. already has the backing of around twenty or so permanent members of the organization but whether or not it will continue to face stiff resistance from russia syria and its ally iran well that's really yet to be seen we're expecting more discussions going forward in the coming days possibly a final vote later on in the week he will caught up in last year's siege of malawi in the southern sell opinions fear that the conflict there may not be over president bridgie goads it's heresy declared victory over the ice a link now to fight in october last year after a five month battle to seize left much of the city in ruins displaced two hundred thousand people many of them and telling their stories and sharing concerns the

fight is well just we good and launch another assault jimmy fallon's ogun has more now from manila. they're taking their anger. from are we to manila these are civilians who see their voices back in their home city have been muted because martial law is imposed all across the mindanao region this is one of the rare forums where you hear civilian voices to d.c. we've heard from civilians who've lost their homes their livelihoods and loved ones in the five months long war that started in the last year of the forum today they called on the government to act swiftly it would like a congressional hearing that will look into what really transpired and these see the human rights violations that are continuously being committed against civilians there are hundreds and thousands of civilians remain displaced to this day and the need for humanitarian assistance remain dire and desperate civilians see no amount

of sophisticated power point presentation or even an ostentatious declaration of liberation basically of the war against the motor can hide the very sad realisation on the ground that hundreds and thousands of civilians continue to suffer not just in morale we but all across the province of land now aid workers in northwestern nigeria are warning that silo sense of people displaced by boko haram are at risk because of a lack of shelter the norwegian refugee council says more than four thousand people are sleeping rough in the town of dick watts after fleeing the fighting will the rainy season in northern nigeria last from june until september there are very real concerns about the spread of malaria diarrhea and also typhoid. that's it for me now it's back to come out in doha julie thank you for that iran president says he won't give in to u.s. pressure over its nuclear development hassan rouhani says the iranian government is able to withstand the economic burden of new sanctions they of course planned after

donald trump withdrew from the nuclear deal signed by world powers three years ago ronnie says the u.s. president has hurt america's global reputation by quote appalling and illegal actions well this is dozens of shop owners in teheran have been protesting against the currency devaluation and rising costs of living in shops and the grand bazaar closed and demonstrators were out on the streets merchants blaming the collapse of the ryal for driving up the cost of imports the government then added to the economic woes by banning the import of thirteen hundred products. own line is interesting territory for iran isn't it isn't it goes back to the elections two thousand and nine it was and that was how it all developed online there are lots of limits as there are will twitter is quite restricted in the country so we rely on telegram to get information as well there's some tweets to come through and online there are clear expressions of anger and uncertainty over the economy but it really goes beyond that hash tag tracking rather the conversation we're seeing people

using the hash tags iran protest iran strikes and even hash tag iran regime change. people use these hashtags to share scenes from their protests interims bazaar and other locations but it's the last hash tag iran regime change that has expanded the conversation on twitter from the economy and to something much more complicated this tweet for example reads to foreign journalists it is a mistake to attribute current iran protests to uniquely economic grievances she says the slogans are clearly against the regime and the entire system as in iran protests of january twenty eighth seen if you attribute these protests to the economy only your mis reading iran in another one we have a man here tweeting saying that there are reports of gas fired tear gas fired at protesters who he says were marching towards parliament and they were chanting

death to the dictator now along the same lines of indignation people have been sharing cartoons and images like this one here showing us an israeli leaders using iranian officials as puppets they have been repeated calls online as well for the president to resign now this is the third day of protests and we'll continue to follow this story for you watching for any developments if you're in iran you can connect with us on whatsapp or telegram with our hash tag. telegram handy on that one is an emmy a thank you. mentioned back in two thousand and nine up to the election if you remember that well the certainly didn't. you know riginal documentary film on the streets with the youth of. the election but also a catch up interview with the filmmaker the movement is still alive rewind it is in the program. dot com. story of

a. young lebanese. tradition to the streets of beirut that is courtesy of our friends at aging us and then sports we're looking ahead to what could be the most of the world cup so. it's.

much of a football fan far but argentina nigeria sounds pretty exciting yeah you know and i'm so nervous for argentina because the biggest shock of the world cup so far could happen later on choose they teatime champions argentina are facing possible elimination they take on nigerian their final group game having picked up just one

point from their first two matches and now to have any chance of making the next round argentina have to win but even winning may not be enough for messi and co nigeria's fate however in their own hands a win would guarantee they go through although a draw could be enough that sits iceland failed to beat the already qualified croatia a win however gives iceland a chance our sports correspondent andy richardson joins us live from st petersburg and messy in argentina god to be feeling the pressure right now. that's right there's thousands of argentina fans as you can see behind me arriving at this petersburg stadium wondering if this is to be their last game at this world cup could it even be lino massey's the last game in an argentinian shirt they have got a lifeline unexpected lifeline thanks to nike area winning against iceland in the second round of three games they still have

a chance of going through if they can win this and i still and slip up against croatia they could just squeeze through into the last sixteen has to be said of the mood music coming out of the argentina training camp this week not particularly good reports of the training ground fight between a cup of the senior players even rumors that the coach paoli could be fired before this game kicks off he is still in charge for the time being when he took over the team about a year ago we had a fantastic reputation he had success with chile where it was a top or america was doing well with severe in the spanish league but really he struggled to find a starting eleven that works for him with argentina we've had two games at this world cup and two vastly different formations during his thirteen games in charge. fifty nine different players which just hints at just how uncertain he's been normally such a steady hand when he's put in charge of the team he does have lean or messi can

messi pull it off one more time for his country it was quite disturbing to see him before that game against croatia they did the national anthem in the cameras pan down the argentina team they got so messy iraq he had his head in his hands before the game even kicked off and he was a pretty remote figure during that game and you do wonder now having led this team to three consecutive finals to win the copper america one of the last world cup they've lost all three whether this could just be a tournament so far for him and the supremely talented generation of players remember that when it came down to it in world cup qualifying and they desperately needed to win. that final game against ecuador messi stepped up and scored a hat trick in chatting to some of the fans from from both countries to see how they feel this game is going to go like that. you have to seize these men see. to go back to i don't want to mow because you go to the going to all the years it.

was a going to grow to do louis is going to be. with more energy the games he's going to play for four months is more in this cup one more cup so you still confident yes we're going to be in the final again today is not a public unit pleasantly. messy we will take care of him to be on with our messi nijinsky naturals. nigeria they still have their fate pretty much in their own hands if they can win this game they're through to the last sixteen and they have a lot of history with argentina they've been drawn in the same group is and can you believe it in the last four world cups and on each occasion argentina have beaten them but if we go back to slightly more recent history a friendly was played at the end of last year nigeria did win one game they looked

pretty poor in their first game against croatia a much improved performance against iceland and there we saw. a really quick strike you can be everything or nothing all of the same time he was every think in that game he's got lots of pace and that is one thing argentina do not have the nigerian fans are spoken to supremely confident that they will be through to the last sixteen they've never gone further than that but they believe this is a team in consistent a full of talent that can get beyond the last sixteen and into the quarterfinals at least ok it's going to be a tense one thank you andy and just a quick update denmark have secured their place in the last sixteen major now. well with group c. winners france australia lost two nil to peru and they're out one another to help me to reach the next round is senegal we've all seen video of them training that's gone viral but their warm up has now been put to music soon making the rounds on social media see if he can recognize the tune.

the president was addressing is within the core responsibility of the executive the executive of course being the president of the united states has broad authority over issues involving immigration and national security and remember president trump did this citing national security saying that the united states was at threat under threat from terrorists and extremist groups and that is why he implemented this opponents including civil liberties groups and advocates for immigrants and refugees said that it was really just a thinly disguised muslim ban remember the first version of the travel ban that the trumpet ministration put into place targeted seven muslim majority countries and that was thrown out by a number of lower courts who argued that it was real it citing the argument that a religious discrimination citing statements that were made by president trump on

the campaign trail and after taking office saying that he wanted to impose a quote muslim ban but the president tweaked his policy several times and most recently settled on a version that banned immigrants from three countries seven countries from coming to the united states and it added north korea and venezuela among other muslim majority countries to that list and. in the ruling john roberts wrote that the court must consider not only the statements of a particular president but also the authority of the presidency itself so again national security being the issue raised by the president and the law of the united states giving the president broad authority when it comes to national security and immigration and therefore the court narrowly upheld this ban by the president at question we heard a lot when the travel ban was first and that's what's been the reaction that we

have a decision. well president trump of course was elated by the decision he put out a statement a short time ago and he called it a moment of profound vindication for his administration after months of hysterical commentary from the court from the media and democratic politicians who refused to do what it takes to secure our border and our country but as you might expect the groups that were fighting this were very disappointed in the outcome muslim advocates for one saying that they're concerned about the fallout of this and that it fails to protect some of the most vulnerable people in the world and in the united states here's what they had to say with this decision we are concerned that donald trump will move beyond the five muslim majority countries that are in the current version can not only target more country but why can't you even go

after u.s. citizens and lawful permanent residents. we call on all americans keep join with us in standing up to this egregious policy. and the american civil liberties union has also condemned the decision comparing it to a legal ruling that allowed for the detention of japanese americans during world war two saying that this ruling will go down as one of the supreme court's greatest failures again though the trumpet ministration and his supporters celebrating what they see as a vindication of a policy that they believe is going to help protect united states citizens christus of them you know joining us with the latest on that story from new york kristen thank you.

the united nations says it's confirmed more than eight hundred cases of children being used in the fighting in yemen and you report it is both hooty rebels and saudi and amorality backed forces of recruiting child soldiers are diplomatic orders and james brings us more from the u.n. headquarters when your this is the report from the secretary general of the united nations his staff work on this report and they send it to the security council the security council have received the report overnight i've spoken to several ambassadors quite a few of them can't give us a judgment on it yet because they haven't read it in full it covers situations around the world there is condemnation of lots of different groups and of some governments but i think the most notable is the fact that the saudi led coalition is again listed as one of the countries the parties that commit grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict one thousand three hundred

sixteen children killed and maimed in yemen in twenty seventeen and more than half of those by airstrikes and also these allegations of the recruitment of child soldiers some of those a large number by the who thiis but there is also a large number by the yemeni armed forces and by the so-called security belt forces that is a militia that's recruited by the united arab emirates a member of the coalition this is a report and a listing in the report that the saudi led coalition will not like they've managed to get a cavity out in there for the second year running that they've also put in place measures aimed at improving the protection of children that does beg the question though for two years running they've improved the protection of children why are they still killing them. a government offensive to retake one of syria's last opposition strongholds has forced forty five thousand people to flee triggering warnings of another humanitarian crisis government forces backed by russian

the which we have full of. groups. forget that the group that will allow. me to advance first that first out of the city of that. by cutting off a key rebel supply line into a province more pro-government troops will be able to move in retaking the entire province of that i would give the government control over its border with jordan all the way to the israeli occupied golan heights. and in the extremely complicated terrain of syria's war analysts believe deals have already been made i believe that . the americans that we have a good deal with the russians now they are going to stay out of this of this of this anyhow and the city of beijing will take control of that will be good for everybody what is a need for the russians for jordan because jordan also although the jordanians actually but it concerned about any new influx of refugees inside job done but they

want very much to open the border crossing with syria because economically this is a bloody a more tenth lifeline for the jordanian economy according to the united nations forty five thousand people have so far. the violence and headed toward the border with jordan concerns are growing about the humanitarian situation no matter the regime's recent advances rebel say they will continue to fight even as many wondered if this fight may be coming to an end. i'll just. sit downs foreign minister says says sudan's president salva kiir and rebel leader we have reached an agreement on some points to end the civil war there the leaders have been attending peace talks in the sudanese capital khartoum says sudan has been grappling with the civil war since twenty thirty in less than two years after day independence from sudan un's given both sides until the end of the month to reach a peace deal or face sanctions will have
