talks have yielded little progress for an end to the crisis protests began in a poor in response to a proposed overhaul of the country's pension system grievances quickly turned to ortega himself as the people accused him of running a corrupt government some anti-government protesters armed with their own homemade weapons have clashed with police and pro and take up paramilitary groups where than two hundred people have been killed since april and despite the government's pledge to stop the violence human rights groups say protesters continue to be killed detained or even disappeared so to help us understand the situation in nicaragua joining us on the set we have latin america correspondent. he was covering the crisis in the last week for al-jazeera. the castro he is a human rights activist and a journalist in estelle ico i were stephen sefton he's a writer for to appear consol that's a new side that identifies with the sandinista national liberation front and we

also have one sebastian morrow he's a leader of the main civic alliance looking to negotiate peace with the government we also invited members of the to work in government to share their perspectives but they have not responded to us but gentlemen it's good to have you here stephen this idea of trying to get a government response or trying to get an idea of how the government is dealing with this crisis how would you sum it up from your perspective. well right from the start on april twenty first three days after the protests we took illegitimate for the first twenty four pounds they were peaceful as was correctly quoted in the names in but after that they were taken over by extremely violent right wing activists who are very well armed and very well prepared but despite the violence of those first three days. president then you will take on a key trend that's called for

a national dialogue. which was accepted by the right wing business sense that was. also involved in protests and then the following day sunday april twenty second president to take a request to the catholic church hierarchy to mediate that so right from the start the dialogue has been committed to feast and from april twenty third they instructed the police not to use live grounds and to people very low profile. so i think from my point of view the role of the government from the start to try. and unfortunately money. the opposition has been resolutely opposed to taking. enormous. let me share this view this is on the line from anon he's also a journalist and she summarizes this is i'm using the translation here from twitter a summary of the current situation in the coag although from june the twenty first

to today there are already more dead injured imprisoned and disappeared two hundred and twelve killed one thousand three hundred thirty seven wounded five hundred seven plus in prison. so many issues here sebastien stephen says that the government is trying to negotiate in good faith but how do you describe this list and it's not even the latest list of of what's been happening to some of the protesters in iraq are today. oh put a poll i would like to denounce that brutality of the day i dictatorship brutality and i have seen it with my own eyes peace violence and brutality against innocent civilians is the reason why the popular of price it is not going to stop and this is not. this is a popular over rice is not a rice it from any. woman or anything like that and i want to emphasize one thing the killing the extra u.d.c.

or killing the started but april nineteenth it is not true that the that. occur later the extra you the sherry killings started the various first day of the hold of the protestant right now as we speak there has been two hundred and eighty five people dead these are being denounced by human rights organizations one of them is precisely the into the american commission on human rights which says that there has brought responsibility of the state of our state of nick and our what to who have violated fundamental rights including life personally integrity health freedom assembly exploration and access to justice is and the most important and relevant human rights commission by the organisational

american states and how. to i know very strong report blaming the state of me going to what i say responsible for all these killings so the in addition to that i missed the international issue a report that says in the title here should the peel showing out the evidence of the x. or unis yari killings committed by the naked eye one police force and dogs that have been armed also by the government there is ample evidence of all of these human rights violations so in other words we are at this moment. extraordinary circumstances oh humanitarian crisis i want to bash and i want to follow up on there was extraordinary circumstances of the the list really that you do you tell with a couple of experiences from our community about what they are seeing this is one person on twitter who says we still don't know how many are detained or just

missing or if they're still alive the numbers grow every day we have two hundred twelve plus dead including little kids and just this weekend they shot a fifteen month old in the head was a sniper and it was caught on camera and we got a video comment from someone who mentions that same incident and how it struck her this is deny she's a journalist and when i go on this is what she told the stream. that i think to be the most capable. kid. he was walking with his parents in the streets when they happened they were type i mean tears were. in the baby died i think every week no one wants to see justice not only for this put more than two hundred that's that have occurred these two months. so many that the incident that she mentions i pulled up on my screen here this is from al jazeera nicaraguan rest baby among five killed in fresh protests from june twenty fourth it doesn't seem to gel with what we heard earlier from stephen who mentioned

that the police were told to keep a low profile i know you just returned from nicaragua but what can you make sense of those two things for us so i made two trips within the last couple of months to make it a well one to visiting messiah which were a lot of the most brutal fighting has been concentrated between anti-government demonstrators and the government and also most of my time spent in when i was the incident that you were learning about right now is not that different than another one that we heard about a week and a half ago where a house with a family of six was set on fire and two children of the age of two were killed inside that house the government has repeatedly denied any responsibility in both that incident as well as in the ongoing conflict saying that they're not using lie browne's that they're not to do you know participating in these claims of human rights abuse but the evidence compiled by human rights observers both from international from the inner american human rights commission which prepared a preliminary report to the organization of american states just last week and all

point to something completely different which is in ongoing systematic repression against peaceful demonstrators and one of the conditions set by the catholic church the catholic church is very influential and they get out what the they have been hosting this ongoing national dialogue that for better or for whispers is the only thing that's truly mediating this conflict the main condition of the catholic church for this dialogue to continue has been for the government of president or to go to stop the heavy handed to use the light term approach to anti-government demonstrators something that the government has failed to do which is why we've seen a continuation of the violence which is why we see very little progress being made in way of these peace talks. and stephen when one sebastian was showing the shoot to kill you said something i didn't quite hear what it was can you repeat it what did you want to say. you know and what i want to say is that. it's true that there

are plenty of human rights organizations making these denunciations none of those cases have been investigated and the internet the internet commission for human rights. based on information that they just accepted. from human rights organizations in my career with the long track record over a couple. being sent to governments. and the lots of a lot of the cases are as you are reports of pointed out many points down disputed by the government but something many said that was very interesting was he talked about peaceful protest now i have a question from manny could you please explain how the. results of peaceful protests ten police officers. and the over two hundred injured don't you think might send them a little strain doesn't rattle him on allegedly answer that question i'm not saying that there are not elements of criminal organizations that have infiltrated the

peaceful protests but overwhelmingly from my experience from my observation the people that are on the ground there are armed with slingshots are armed with rocks and they are or if you want to say that rocks are weapons sure they are armed and they're armed with homemade mortars which may be a less than lethal weapon i think that at the very best they are there are fireworks launchers. and these people are up against automatic weapons live rounds and snipers on mother's day on may thirtieth we were on the ground during one of the largest demonstrations that you could i would had seen up until that point half a million people marching on the streets of mine i were at the very end of that march i actually don't remember how many were killed somewhere around a dozen people were killed when snipers opened fired on it grew out of civilians i want to point to the initial comment by even already we need. to talk about the will. you know all this it is regretful that he the new ground government

for years has labeled everybody who disagrees with and as extreme right wing. as part of an extreme wrangling conspiracy if you are on the streets to talk to people and see who is out there on the barricades in the universities who is protesting we're talking about people who are workers who are students who are. you know people generally. concerned about what is happening in the country and this is been part of a pattern over the years of this government been in power you know disqualifying people who have a different opinion and this is what is different this is what it led to the situation. because there's been a breakdown in the institutional framework that allows people to actually watch their opinion in a peaceful you know in a sit in what their opinion and be heard and so what you have is a protest over

a very. very legitimate issue was the social security which was which could have gone on and ended without a problem but it didn't happen because those dunes who were on the street were immediately attacked and people reacted to that and they reacted to that because this is been going on for many many years and now it's escalated to a point where we have these you know hooded jugs on the street followed by the police going around killing people and this is been widely documented this is probably the most well documented rebellion in the history of central america because everybody had cell phones everybody had cell phones everybody has cell phones or everybody has you know here in italy or nice of a century so a gang of between as i was and six hundred people attacked the municipal office here in a silly they attacked with molotov. tale with firearms and it's completely untrue

and only for the government probably worse it's just been widely program or every of those people who attack that place including you know if you talk to the families of people who were killed during that you know have been killed in a tele. i think you know you should go talk to the families of the imam who else students. i knew one of the students that was killed and that individual and who's a great guy unfortunately was duped into taking part into that demonstration which involved the participation of between two and three hundred people from outside the makah who had nothing to do feel with us and they they did this group of the team five and six hundred people i was here. and. trying to do you think. people are risking their lives because they believe in liberty because.

running over their rights and not. only is that hearing you there you know i hear what you're saying about people being tired of their rights being. trampled upon i want to bring up a perspective that we don't see a whole lot of online i'll admit it was very difficult to find people who are pro or take at this point at least on twitter during our outreach but we got this question from someone on twitter saying could take a be there all these years without people support so we did find one woman her name is regina send of all and she since deleted her twitter account after speaking with us on this she says i'm a native of nicaragua and have been visiting my country for the past fifteen years and in the last ten years i've only seen positive improvements of course with much more to accomplish however i've never seen repression of any kind the economy was booming and tourists are flooding nicaragua up or she is now and expert but one sebastian i'm wondering about the support or take what is left of it what are the polls saying what are you hearing from people. well first of all i do that certain

economic sectors like this that they may show were are doing extremely well however because of this crisis get tourist industry simply got a million people came last year to new guy what will be said because of these preparations by the government by the police are. bringing the country to to a halt and i want to mention something that is very important when i missed international . was in the country. and saw and lived how snipers where shooting the demonstrations a mother saying this is not something that i report that was written from from outside people from on this international actually saw the. repression so why are so you know it's. i think the explanation of oh this popular revolt across all

sectors of the of the society you have to understand that all sectors of society has been protestant force. different reasons the environment the violations of human rights violations of the right to protest to assemble it has been this has been a very repressive government that tried to who was in a situation that didn't exist in a in reality. let me just play this year since even i hear i just want to move things on just a little bit i hear you want to come back and we will come back to your money you did a whole series of reports you just got back from the one of your reports was about families calling for the release of detainees a would i want to be very frank here about what you saw and what you reported on i'm going to play this a little bit of the story here one of the stories that you did for al-jazeera have a listen. to. these

desperate mothers crying out to prison guards for the release of their children my d.s.l. danya has been camped outside these gates for more than a week her son wielded was arrested after attending an anti-government demonstration at one point she change her self to the fence begging for her son's release me you want to give me when my son is innocent his only crime was holding up the flag of my country i believe this is why they're keeping him there. when i hear the back and forth. and stephen about who is responsible who is responsible for the violence who's not but the feeling that you were. amongst different communities what was it like it's tension especially in places like cities like messiah cities that have seen an extraordinary amount of violence over the course of the last two months people must inevitably be having some sort of psychological trauma from all of this there are daily attacks by paramilitary forces that are coming into the that are coming into the town and firing indiscriminately at

civilians yes there may be individuals who are armed but overwhelmingly what we're seeing from from anti-government demonstrators most of them being very young teenagers oftentimes is that they're not is that they're not armed and if i can just say something in regards to that snippet of my report on the detainees as a quick update the gentleman that i was reporting on his name was. he has since been released he was held for eight days after he was picked up after a after a protest and he was he was released along with that other half dozen detainees that were that were picked up during protests dad sadly but still good news was the only bit of good news that i was able to report in my time in the because there are still an unknown number of forced disappearances where people didn't end up in jail they simply disappeared there's no way to know when it would end up happening to a lot of these protesters. well i want to push this for just

a little bit more because while we have so many tweets on the protest tactics one of the things that people want to know about is negotiations and is that the way forward this is toyota on twitter who says the president's greatest weakness is the fact that he is no longer nicaragua's worship savior social media has united all nicaraguans even former or taken followers that's why this is working there is no opposing political party this is the people's movement but on the other side of that is someone who thinks that our take is the perfect person for negotiations and will lead the country towards peace this is francisco we've subtitled his response to us in spanish have a listen to what he told us. well you our son the lessons and the like these the belief is not that i spoke to that. in the way. of the son but this is really so it's nothing that facile freedom let's face it

isn't but in the in the. stillness that. language. is in its. it when the political part of the compromise cannot pass. so if you know countries go there said that the president is advancing the solution to the crisis i know that you're indirectly involved in the negotiation in the dialogue what do you make about common. i think that the president will show a willingness to bring peace nikolaus when he orders the paramilitary groups followed by the police to leave the street and i hear the one who has the power to disarm these groups and the reason why he's not doing that is because he knows that if these groups give him certain. protection because you know he's the

head of the army and the police and you know he's sending these paramilitary groups out there and he and the government says they have nothing to do with them because he doesn't want to take responsibility for what is happening and everybody knows that these groups are being coordinated by mayor by second political secretaries of the of their pursuant party of by ex-military people have been recruited to be part of these groups and you know the troops are in the videos on these groups to move into the neighborhoods and behind them come the police so you know somebody had to explain to me how groups that have nothing to do with the government move around with the police trying to open up wrote and and you know take people prisoners and . and fire you know indiscriminately against innocent people killing them and they are nothing to do with the government and i want to just bring out something that seaman was saying about the government and what it's done in the last years you

know i've been critical of the human rights activist and then as a journalist of all governments and we get our there's always room for improvement there is obviously there are in the economic front and you could say the government you know been something in the world that did help the poor but you know you can do that and and get rid of. you know essential rights like the right to elect your leaders the right to express your opinion the right to protest you know here you have a come in below. three years of you know the media has been concentrated in a few will point out that here i've got less a moment left i just want started to be i was wanted just by pre-fill stevens galahad president that's what it requires in a city like instances it's like through the looking glass listening once a best in and can be that in the end it's going to resist the truth that money but that'll turn out investigations will turn up the truth. and the political process

conflict in yemen are accused of using hundreds of child soldiers. at the world cup argentina survives a real scare to advance to the last sixteen. the u.s. supreme court has upheld the donald trump's travel ban on people from five muslim majority countries the judges not only voted to accept that the u.s. president was acting legally when he barred people from iran yemen somalia libya and syria from entering the united states shihab rattansi has more from washington d.c. . the five four ruling was not only expected but protesters were still incensed. but the majority of justices how did greed with the trumpet ministration this was not a muslim this policy was the result of

a careful global interagency analysis of vetting procedures for travelers to the u.s. from libya syria somalia yemen and iran. and it was the president's right to impose a ban because national security is his responsibility donald trump was clearly delighted this is a great victory for our constitution. we have to be tough and we have to be safe and we have to be secure but in what was described as a furious dissent from the bench of liberal justice sonia sotomayor referred to cannes the only comparison of the travel ban to the decision that mandated the detention of japanese americans during world war two sort of my all said taking all the relevant evidence together a reasonable observer would conclude that the proclamation was driven primarily by anti muslim animus rather than by the government's asserted national security justifications politicians and activists are now expressing concern that the supreme court has affirmed own opinion that he and he alone is in control of the

country's national security and that he can act without oversight in deciding who comes into this country with this decision we are concerned that donald trump. the five muslim majority countries that are in the current version can not only target more countries but even go after us and lawful permanent residents i say who is going to be. is a president going to executives order against is he going to have orders against people coming from honduras guatemala what's next and now that the supreme court has ruled the tracks on donald trump's powers to set immigration policy himself have been weakened considerably. washington we've been speaking to leon fresco a former u.s. department of justice official and steven rogers who was a member of the trump for president advisory board. the decision certainly fellow

along partisan lines in terms of the five republican appointed justices ruled in favor of the president and the four democratic justices ruled against the president but you know where i would have a beef with this decision is even if you thought that this version three point zero of the travel ban was narrow enough and i actually do sit in that courtroom of that that group of people the fact that the majority went through great pains to expand the ability of the president to basically institute any version of this is problematic because they didn't have to do that they could have just said under these facts in this specific situation we will allow this but the killer proclamation that continue in mind that it was president barack obama in two thousand and fifteen that the picked out some of these nations rightfully so president obama actually called them countries of interest during this time and so the president didn't just randomly pick these countries out that's number one

number two in you're going to. be preserved there was an analysis there was studies this was research with regard to the chances of someone coming from these countries would be greater. than any other country to harm the united states and number three this is not and never was a ban on muslims if a european american was in one of those countries and tried to come here without proper id without any. knowing where he or she is from they would be banned so the supreme court did in fact make that decision based on national security reasons. seventeen states is suing president donald trump's administration for splitting up migrant families the state's wants to force officials to reunite children with their parents they say families are separated despite executive order to end the practice. has this report oh now they

protest in america and texas and across the u.s. people are demanding answers to why the u.s. government is still detaining undocumented migrants and keeping children in shelters it's been one week since president donald trump signed an executive order abruptly ending the policy of family separation of migrants a policy he put into place that's only added to the confusion on how to implement rapidly changing policies from the administration especially as video emerges from inside the detention centers of suffering children. on tuesday senators were reminded that the government is legally limited on how long it can keep migrant families together in detention right now i would gladly put these children back with their parents in the custody of ice or customs and border patrol but i legally can't because at the twenty day mark i'll just have to be sent back we need congress to change this twenty day limit on parent unification

or we need to stop criminally prosecuted them and allow them to terms under time but far from the holes of power more than two thousand children are still separated from their parents some for months with no end in sight to the crisis on the southern border it's easy to start to just think of this as nothing more than a story of policy what's the latest news out of washington what's the latest thing trump has tweeted or i think of it as nothing more than numbers how many families remain separated but in the end it's not about any of that it's about the human condition real people fleeing poverty and violence in their home countries. to try to come to the united states across this border and when they finally get here many are now discovering it's not what they expected for miriam provide quote amala the pain of separation from her four year old son is real. i couldn't

say anything to him because they took him from me when he was asleep they took my son don it was friday night going on saturday the men from immigration told me get your son ready because we're going to take him with migrant detention centers a capacity to more are being built on military bases migrant families the lucky few reunited the rest wondering the same as everyone else what comes next. al-jazeera brownsville texas amnesty international is accusing me and mars army of carrying out a planned and systematic campaign against. its latest report names of thirteen military personnel that it says are responsible for war crimes including murder rape and for starvation human rights group says that they should be tried at the international criminal court our diplomatic editor james bays has more. amnesty international researches say they've uncovered devastating new details about the
