vietnam plenty of wet weather here and plenty more to come over the next few days for the northeast generally a lot of dry forests here and at the moment pretty hot as well look at shanghai thirty six or thirty seven degrees over the next few days so do expect it to be very hard out towards the west and for some of us here the rains have also been very heavy we've seen plenty of them in the western parts of india the showers here have given a fair amount of flooding and then we've also seen a very active rains across bangladesh for the northeastern states now we're also seeing this little circulation here that's intensifying the rains for the east impulse of india also across into parts of cold cold cuts or as well say a very wet here and plenty more rains still to come to the north still more unsettled weather here as well i did the new delhi will catch those showers just yet because see that just away to the north and some of them again will be heavy.

well well when this idea popped into it when they're on line it's undoubtedly chief told. over to an inequality in society today or if you join the sunset criminal justice system is dysfunctional right now this is a dialogue what does it feel like to go back for the first time everyone has a voice and allow refugees to. change join the conversation on our. our minds of our top stories here on al-jazeera the u.s.

supreme court has now really voted to hold president donald trump's travel ban on people from five muslim majority countries called it a tremendous victory for the american people and for the constitution the united nations says it's confirmed now more than eight hundred cases of children being used to fight in yemen will hooty rebels in saudi and amorality back forces of recruiting child soldiers the u.n. says around forty five thousand people have fled syria's southern province of deborah as government forces battled to read tape of rebel strong. in migrant rescue ship that's been stranded in the mediterranean for five days now has been allowed to dock in malta a german charity vessel called lifeline has two hundred thirty refugees and migrants on board the it's early in malta had first refused to let the bulls access their ports italian prime minister has now agreed to take in some of the passengers

and portugal says it is ready to do the same well dominic cain is live for us now in la phenomena germany austria border and what would be will dominate about it to lease off for. well judy the point to make here is that the fate of these people aboard that vessel for several days now they've been in a worsening condition because the boat is only really geared to to rescue people from the sea and transport them rapidly to safety to a safe haven as it were we know as you were saying in your introduction that there have been offers made for some of them to be accepted into e.u. countries you named italy and portugal there but the fate of the others concerned remains unknown the point being made here is the organized an organization itself lifeline said that it had asked for the e.u. to find a way for these people to be received into e.u. states and that indeed the maltese prime minister had asked the same question it seems as of now with the tally in and portuguese governments are prepared to help

out as i say in some cases but we don't know the fate of the others who are aboard that vessel in some ways the people on board that vessel are in a nutshell what the migration crisis europe is facing is about right now they have fled their countries where their homes in pursuit of safety some perhaps in pursuit of a better life but the european countries are now squabbling with and with each other about what to do with them as i say it's almost a microcosm of the european migration crisis and on that note dominic anglo american is meeting the spanish prime minister to try to make some progress on this why do ac. yes this right is a day of meetings for angela merkel actually this morning she had a meeting with the spanish the new spanish prime minister mr sanchez she's also met the european the president of the european council donald tusk and later today she has a meeting a formal meeting of her coalition remember her coalition is put together involving

the allies of her party the bavarian allies the christian social union and we are as i say reporting now from the various border with austria behind me you can see some of the police controls taking place here they're doing so to try to establish . the density of of the people who cross the border and this whole idea this whole issue the crux of it is what does the e.u. do with people who present themselves in one country seeking asylum and then go on to claim it somewhere else as i say this is really impassioned the christian social union in bavaria as i've been finding out. on an early summer's day at hurting looks like a picture postcard the town has been a place of pilgrimage for more than five hundred years it's the c.s. use heartland a formidable conservative election winning party machine for five decades but the recent influx of refugees has changed things the rise of the anti immigrant anti has seen the c.s.u.

move further to the right fearful of losing votes in this october's state election a little goodies to go through and sawdust overall it would be good if there were european solutions however no european solution was achieved in three years and i believe it's important to send a clear signal that we too can reach european measures which are everyday practice in other countries that is code for more of this police controls along the border with austria officially removed more than twenty years ago but temporarily reestablished once the flow of migrants and refugees into germany began growing if the c.s.u. has its way then scenes like these will become commonplace not just in bavaria but also across many of germany's other borders something angular machall and the e.u. institutions strongly oppose because of their commitment to the shang and border free area of the c.s.u. proposals don't stop at just policing borders. asylum seekers will be prevented

from working and receiving benefits or violent applicants would be jailed alongside criminals then deported such moves go way beyond what chancellor merkel has proposed the price for not toppling her coalition in. erging many people agree with them they like your typical merkel invited them all now she can't handle it see the other european countries don't want to play along either they have had enough we are a christian country and we want to stay like that in two hundred fifty years you will barely find a german. mr mr home he's right to be humane but at some point we have to protect ourselves it doesn't work anymore he's not about racism always in a phobia but at some point we have reached the point where we have to say may first country then the others at a state wide level there are some voicing opposition to the c.f.c.'s plans to buy the ship that shot one million one and one abbott's the bad variant economy and

millions of jobs in our companies depend on a united europe with open borders new border controls turnstiles finances and walls simply question our prosperity they question our strength this is a responsible and it also questions the barbarian identity privately some in the c.s.u. like to think that theirs is the most influential party in germany and with their deadline to angular machall drawing ever closer perhaps right now they're the most influential party in europe. and surely the point here is we'll discover quite how influential that party years when the e.u. summit takes place in first on thursday and friday in brussels john mccain there joining me live from love and dominic thank you now a spanish woman who says she was stolen as a baby is taking the don't so she says is responsible to court in this madrigal accuses eighty five year old eduardo with a lot of forging her birth certificate in one nine hundred sixty nine to show that

been searching for her real mother all her life. the trial is only due to last two days in magical says it's unlikely to provide her with the answers she's been looking for. but more importantly she says it offers the potential for similar actions to thousands of cases to be reopened peter shop al jazeera. classes foreign ministers held talks at the u.s. secretary of state michael pale in washington d.c. there discuss their bilateral relations as well as the saudi and u.a.e. led blockade against cutter which is now into its second gear on they all called on blockading countries to end the embargo two months ago said mohammed bin up the foxman all funding says qatar is willing to meet all feeding parties if a clear plan is made for talks with iran i just don't know yet if we consider the gulf cooperation council as an important block in the reason we see the problems between saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

please excuse me for my coughing fit there now environmental activists say that demand for wood in europe is causing a massive african rain forest to shrink at an alarming rate now campaigners say the largest timber company in the democratic republic of congo is illegally cutting down millions of trees. with ports. in the horn of africa the congo basin is home to the world's second largest rainforest but a new investigation accuses timber companies of endangering its existence second in size to the amazon the congolese re forced to some two million square kilometers it covers six countries including the democratic republic of congo which shrinking the fastest. the nonprofit global witness says the d.r.

she's biggest timber company north to timber is illegally harvesting trees at nearly ninety percent of its sites with impunity north timber which is portuguese owned denies congolese subsidy for is breaching its contracts it says the accusations have no basis it acknowledges some management plans may not be in place but that it's talking with the ministry of environment about them global witness is also accusing importers such as portugal and friends of failing to take action there are some plans on the books being negotiated between france and norway which if approved or triple the area large from one hundred thousand square kilometers to three hundred thousand square kilometers researchers are trying to learn about the forest unique ecosystem before it's too late. these forests are under pressure from humans so we scientists want to categorize the fauna and the birds the only thought of this forest before it is destroyed is that scientists say the congo rainforest is a source of food and water for tens of millions of people it's also home to six hundred

types of trees and ten thousand animal species including endangered ones they say these trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide but their ability to reduce greenhouse gases and regulate the climate is decreasing. but example here for example the rainy season normally starts in mid august but now sometimes it begins in july and sometimes in september and when it comes sometimes the water does not rise steadily and then they suddenly recede there's a disorder in the cycle so despite existing national international laws designed to protect rain forests global witness says companies like north through timber and danger seventy five million hectares of rain forest in the d.r. see global witness demanding all those involved from governments to importers and buyers to stop being complicit in the destruction of d r c's tropical rain forests and the impact it's having on the planet's climate. john al-jazeera.

a little. it's . a. lead player. playing. the lead. so there's a particular score that you have to get for you let loose on rotations all the

holidays a hundred percent. how many of these operations you see today it will evolve i'll say no i've. been lost a set. of two hundred eighty five million people all blind or visually impaired worldwide and ninety percent of all use live in developing countries and yet with the right fight cat medical interventions eighty percent of visual impairments could be prevented if all kids. on drugs just lacey and i'm in zambia to meet the team of all this on the fly and on most of the oldest flying on hospital is an airplane has been converted into a fully functioning surgical and training hospital which travels to developing countries worldwide the oldest team has been working here in zambia one of the least developed countries in the world since two thousand and ten. zero zero zero.

zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero my mother grandmother let me be their money back i think it costs a little less guts that. the plane has a fully equipped operating room alongside laser treatment and. a multimedia class for an interactive training facility. richard has been brought in to have corrective surgery on a screen. this relatively simple operation will have a huge impact on rich's ability to perform well at school and therefore his prospects in the rest of his life it also gives a local doctor. the opportunity to work alongside his mentor laurie benjamin one of the u.k.'s leading arm surgeons so you see over there a microscope dr and bony doing the searches together with the dr benjamin it's it's

amazingly well equipped the proper modern you know for a long period really expected when you come into the plane incredible. i want to show you another interactive feature on the on the aircraft is this monitor over here so you have eighteen cameras onboard you have the opportunity but after everything that's happening in the main operating theatre to the front classroom and as a. surgeon voice yes sir said the surgeon doing the surgery as wearing a microphone so during surgery he's explaining the procedure step by step two different from classroom and also give the ability of the participants in the training doctors to ask questions opens up a fair after another forty eight people in the course exactly mazie. doesn't buy any bridges just have your ration card it will go. to

when. we were trying to correct this winter. here in terms of for your training had you done many just quit surgeries or you're bored with all this actually most of the screens that we did during training was observatories is watching lots of what he was doing i see ok so these are really come with this. to date the following our hospital team has trained medical staff from form surgeries and seventy eight different countries. one of the most important procedures that they teach is cataract surgery. cataracts occur when areas of the lens become opaque due to a change in the structure of proteins within it this prevents the normal transition of light through the lens making vision blurred or misty over time and without treatment the cataracts. leading eventually to blindness this is one of the major problems that over stills wear and zambia essentially the problem is that you will

the lens which sits just behind your people goes from being totally transparent to a bit cloudy and therefore important to know if it is a nice way to demonstrate this so if at the moment of normal vision and then with the cataract. the vision degrades to the box so you can imagine the impact with the surgery when it returns to know. that you have another unique tool. training program it was called i simulated and i wanted to use it to get back to the head i heart and i started out after all i just tried to write to you what the leader does ok i have tracked i'd love to go yeah here's my patient gets here's your page luckily not real these days are icing a major you know you're going to grasp they're trying goals and put it in the center you go too low you get the plans and get the culture and you don't hire you that means that or if you try to get from. the countries that leaves it you

know now that they don't have a chance to try this before i gave before going to a real i use that exact dockside just go ahead. don there you go now closing you know and pull it out withdrawal and we're going to see your score ok. ok very nice to know how do you know my sense i'm really that. so there's a particular score that you have to get for you let loose on rotation oh. hundreds and ok before i leave i meet a group of women who have all had cataract surgery. so she was totally blind she couldn't see anything she could get through so i learned sure when she was only using one now and then did she have surgery on the plane yesterday were you the lady who was dancing just now yes because because you're happy. meters are some are not i don't know that he was talking.

to me. like i. a key element of the old this program is to work with local medical start using local facilities this ensures that even when the plane is gone the much needed specialist i treatment can still be provided in zambia this training is done it could to a central hospital where dr m. boney works our children and i problems vision impairment is not a big problem in zambia we have about fifty thousand children did you get into the country since obvious came to keep did they provide what we needed to this if they only give me a simple. this is the only guy hospital children that are still in zambia yeah

this is the last one that we have. three young sisters have travelled over sixteen hours by box with their mother to receive treatment from the always team. all three suffer from varying degrees of cataract blindness which has caused them to fall behind at school as i can see. two of the sisters are now recovering from the surgery. so we're just in the main hospital now just to go out going to one of the wards to meet lucy who's the third child of the family who is having cataract operation this afternoon so from this way. they're. going to share any motion me lucy. what lucy what's your favorite subject in school what you like to learn about this one issue is just really interesting also. so. how is your english lucy one.

year. on testing. so this issue lucy has that she has cataracts in both eyes and appears as though she has normal visual ability but in fact it's significantly impaired so much so that it's had a real impact on being able to go to school and her lifestyle at home so with the intervention this afternoon with the right medical treatment which may be able to make a real positive impact on that. i don't see if they don't want to have this surgery is another opportunity for doctors benjamin and bony to work together you are this kid. so they're all set to go in theater she's now sort of sleep under general anaesthetic the surgeons are scrubbed and set to go so this can see how the game.

during the operation the cataract is removed through a tiny incision in the on and a synthetic lens is inserted and i'll just use the pick up place fifteen degree the record two point seven five. and see on the screen that the. lens has returned the transparency to the people. and therefore should provide a good outcome for the c. o u. u k. you're. paid. you see that that figure that's.

yeah i. know. you have a good ear over by the situation but we'll see what is suspicious now from people who think for. certain burning what are you looking for with this examination. just to see if that's the cornea it's. not collapsing from the point at which you're in certain could the new lens. you know. so far it looks like the more right. and it is going to the smaller sized objects known. the improvement from pre-surgery test is dramatic it really is amazing. she was able to see just the set figures that's all she could recognize it before the operation ok and now she

improved to be able to see this something credible we know we know and this guy. i'm doing my best i think she's very you know it's just my friends she's not saying. i. saw him come to the end of my time in zambia and what's been wonderful to witness is this very special relationship between obits and its local partners and the success of this project has been plain to see in the stories of lucy and her sister and the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have had their site saved and their lives change they see. the public health care system in pakistan as in many developing countries struggles with a lack of resources the result is that specialist medical treatment such as the old

british transplant is out of reach of many of the poorest and the most in need. yet here at the sindh institute of your old age and transplantation one man's passion means that today more than a million patients here receive top class medical treatment at no cost i'm going to jump out to me when i'm in karate pakistan to meet the doctor who has spent the last fourteen years providing free health care to those who need it most. kidney disease is a huge health issue in pakistan compounded by poor diets and sanitation within the population. in one nine hundred seventy two dr added rizvi set up a small urology unit in corruption to deal with this issue. inspired by the national health service of the u.k. his goal from the beginning was to offer this treatment absolutely free to everybody. go through history i look nice to meet you here by you well more than.
