either fifteen now that would be a shade huling problem for vladimir putin because it's also the same day as the world cup final being held in moscow so he would have to fly back very quickly after any summit with trump to make that in moscow i don't believe for a second that held it want to miss it. what will this summit be like well if the trump kim young on summit was anything to go by it's likely to be a big flashy affair perhaps short on much detail and substance but afterwards trump may well proclaim that see has made america great and much to advance the course of of world peace for russia it's a chance to mend relations somewhat with the united states and perhaps to extract concessions from donald trump concessions that would help russian interests russia particularly putin has been wanting this meeting to be taking place for

quite some time very many saying such a serious or a challenge there live in moscow the u.s. supreme court has upheld donald trump's travel ban on people from five muslim majority countries the justices narrowly 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 democrats have expressed concern after the ruling the reports from washington. the five four ruling was not only expected but protesters were still incensed. but the majority of justices how did agreed with the troubled ministration this was not a muslim this policy was the result of a careful global interagency you know this is a 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 because national security is his responsibility donald trump was clearly delighted . it's

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 counter 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 will move beyond the five muslim majority countries that are in the current version to

not only target more countries but even go after us and lawful permanent residents i say who's going to be in. is a president going to executives order mexicans 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. the u.s. house is due to vote on broad republican legislation that's meant to address immigration the immigration crisis to ensure that migrant families are not separated as they cross the border a u.s. federal judge ruled on tuesday that migrant families crossing the us mexico border should no longer be separated the same judge also ordered authorities to reunite parents and children within thirty days sooner for children under the age of five the ruling can be appealed by the white house south sudan's warring leaders are due

to sign an agreement soon that will work towards resolving the five year civil war president salva kiir and rebel leader rick russia have been holding talks in neighboring sue done over the past two days south sudan and sudan also agreed to resume oil production that will nearly double the output from the south sudanese fields by the end of the year the president of algeria has sacked his head of national security no reason has been given major general abdul ghani how mel recently criticized the justice ministry over its handling of a cocaine smuggling scandal twenty arrests have so far been made in connection with the seizure of seventy million dollars worth of cocaine on a ship from spain it's been alleged that senior government officials were involved in the smuggling. still to come on the program. the world cup. tournament.

well i got time to support his foreign agent thank you so much argentina are through to the knockout stages.

well you know. some of the like.

al-jazeera. where every year. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would just be all when people need to be heard to women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring me the award winning documentaries and live news i'm not out to view it i got to commend you on hearing is good journalism on and on mine.

one of the biggest problems facing our oceans and the loss of seagrass meadows one check rule for roughly fifteen percent of the ocean's total carbon storage perhaps

or they hope to wife as much carbon dioxide as rain forests and they're also question marine habitats for many endangered ocean species. but here on elkhorn slew in central california the tide could be turning for seagrass thanks to some unexpected allies. trying to meet their. this nine hundred hectare as she wary is where rivers throughout this region meet the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertiliser and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate ecosystem so having farms so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well i mean were you coastal environments close to urban centers coastal environments close. you get problems like this.

marker. it grows with the rocks. start composing over half of the world sea grass meadows are in decline but here in al corn slew they're making a surprising comeback. oh wow. at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation's appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade. sea otters the crabs lower crop numbers allows

smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass eating algal build up on the leaves they allow sunlight to reach the plants. because sea otters are so crucial to the ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tag them with radio devices. firing their work really well. six was probably very close. what's the purpose of proper we go out seven days a week is to go out and find individuals see where they are what they're doing. and the other part of it is a star so we can understand the distribution of otters in this area what are they eating how are they doing health wise there's one right there that's three four nine six so that beeping is an arm that peeping is from the radio transmitter

that's surgically implanted in her. system ok. why don't you take a look right in there. along the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against. groupings of packs of sea otters leaving croutons essentially the same grass an advantage again so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world will it have a knock on that potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs

which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we wiped out we have the great potential for restoring the health of that system. in an exclusive documentary series reveals the full story of a war that changed the face of the middle east this is not a fourth to defeat this is a war to open the way for the promise of the final episode of a three part series explores the impending threats of two global superpowers i

don't call those why the out of his way to conflict continues to this day the war in october the battle and beyond this time on al-jazeera. it was just ten years old when a devastating earthquake struck mexico city in one thousand nine hundred five the quake damaged her family's apartment and the government moved them to distant shack around seventy families who lost their homes in that earthquake still live in this camp say i'm going to be up at the gallop the government raised our hopes and then abandon us politicians have promised that they won't allow a repeat of what happened after the earthquake in one thousand eight hundred five but the cost and complexity of housing hundreds of people living in camps is a major task and one that many people here think the government will fail. we will maintain the finest fighting force the world has ever known the united states army is so reliant on a private sector i would call it a dependency we have

a mismatch between the way we. are to be and the reality of the twenty first century. for eleven out how many of the persons that are sending out you should be child soldiers and i said my child soldiers reloaded on al-jazeera. the u.n. calls on myanmar to stop discriminating against rangers and give back their rights to citizenship and property. and jane this is al jazeera live and was a coming up the teenage football is missing in a cave in thailand more heavy rain hampers the frantic four day long search we are

live at the scene. accused of violating human rights council takes the u.a.e. to the un's international court of justice imposing a blockade since june last year. was. the anger in the u.s. after the supreme court upholds donald trump's travel ban covering people from predominantly muslim countries. the united nations envoy to me and mine has called for the dismantling of what she says is a system of discrimination against muslims. told the u.n. human rights council the rango should have their rights to citizenship and property was stored in response to the court for her to be replaced this comes as amnesty international is named more than a dozen men were military personnel they say are responsible for war crimes against

there were hanging in its latest report the human rights group documented what it called a planned and systematic campaign that involved murder rape and forced starvation diplomatic editor james space reports. amnesty international. details about the. crimes committed against these people the right as they were expelled from their homes they interviewed more than four hundred people mostly survivors and witnesses here in the refugee camps of bangladesh and inside rakhine state in myanmar and they give a clear picture of a planned and systematic military campaign in each case villages were surrounded and then attacked many were killed where i hang get lived alongside other communities only the wrecking the homes were torched. villagers were surrounded by the me and my military soldiers swept through they opened fire on men women and children as they were running away and they systematically burned down their wishes

and what this shows is that this was not the work of rogue soldiers or units involved units across a large area that this was a pattern carried out and therefore suggest that it was a pattern carried out pursuant to me a common plan the human rights group is naming thirteen commanders and offices who believes are responsible for war crimes one of those generals is now being sacked by the commander in chief's office but it's not believed to be linked to these allegations and amnesty want all thirteen sent to the international criminal court while the eastern twenty seventeen clearance operations one president to embody is reached out and made absolutely no mistake the crimes against humanity we are talking about. for starvation in these are land mines and targeted large scale do you believe it's the norm from the us to syria is

a nation be referred to the international or. any referral to the international criminal court is unlikely to happen soon and that's because it either has to come from the government to be unmarked that state be unlikely or from the u.n. security council and on this council there's one country that strongly supported the government of myanmar it just happens to be a permanent member of the security council with veto power china james pays out of the united nations matthew smith is co-founder and chief executive officer of fortify rights a human rights organization specializing in southeast asia he says china is preventing the u.n. security council from taking action against mia. fortify rights believes these crimes constitute the crime of genocide and certainly crimes against humanity as well right now u.n. member states need to think very hard and seriously about the implications of an

action and are one of our main concerns right now is not only for the writing of population but also for other communities around the world impunity travel's impunity doesn't know borders so if the un security council fails in this situation it would be disastrous not only for the range of population or for the people of myanmar but potentially for other communities elsewhere the un member states that are that make up the security council all have bilateral relationships with china and so there are there are a large number of different ways and means that states can negotiate with china centrally what's what's been asked of china from our perspective at least is actually just in action just get out of the way so that justice can run its course . heavy rain and no than thailand has hampered the search for a football team missing for four days in a cave rising floodwaters have forced divers to stop their round the cox expect

raise kids remain optimistic the boys are alive because of a cave explorers have been found in the past when floods receded scott had to report some. hundreds of metres of large hoses were fed into the cave early wednesday tools for an uphill battle to reduce the water level. rescuers hope to make up lost ground from heavy overnight rains that continued when the sun rose rescuers say they need more power and equipment in the cave system to pump the water out that also raises the danger of electrocution for the divers working around the clock. also to lower the water level a huge pumps have been emptying a nearby reservoir connected to the cave system saying it could not have that but we will continue to do this operation until we find the boys and get them out safely more vigils have been held and prayers said for the missing twelve boys and their football coach as they had done before the eleven to sixteen year olds went

into the cave for fun after a practice match on saturday they never came out the emotional and physical toll is visible on the boys' families many have not left side of the cave entrance wanted to be there when word comes from rescuers the searching outside the caves has expanded hundreds of soldiers have fanned out into the jungle here looking for a way into the vast labyrinth of caves concealed by these rugged hills the military had hoped to use helicopters to take a wider survey of the area and possibly drop navy seal divers into the jungle but poor visibility prevented that for most of the day that. song sung them son also plays for the mobile academy football team but didn't go with his friends on saturday they live walking distance from the cave and the football team's home pitch now transformed into a makeshift hella pad for rescue helicopters. i saw them hit every day.

the youth football team named after a while the jungle boar was practicing here for a tournament next month something many in this community are hoping will kick off with everyone save it's got hotter al-jazeera chiang rai. well wayne hay is there in chiang rai let's find out what the latest is from you wayne one of the authorities saying. about an hour ago we had another updates from an engineering team and also the military both groups of course heavily involved in the search and rescue operation and what they are saying the overriding theme of what they're saying is that it is still very slow going but they hope that the situation the progress may be able to speed up very very soon the navy divers that are at the forefront of this at the frontline of the operation are saying that the water level is the big problem inside this cave system that it has in fact been rising throughout the day even though there are pumps on hand

trying to lower the water level to enable those divers to push further into the cave system and hopefully find the boys and their football coach but it's been raining and as fast as i've been pumping the water out jane the rain has been dumping more water on the area and it's been pouring into that cave system so in response to that they're brought in heavier equipment more pumps they now have twenty two pumps in total that carrying in heavy duty hoses into the entrance to the cave and once those larger pumps start operating they hope with the permitting that there are no more downpours of rain that they will be able to lower the water level in that area to enable them to push through into an elevated section of the cave where they hope that the boys and their coach may be other than the way the fact i mean given that the started on saturday it's a really wins and it is a concern about how long this is taking slow the response has been.

well i think inevitably in these situations these scenarios those questions do start to arise after a few days and we're certainly seeing that here at the moment some people in the local community around this case certainly asking that question why it has taken so long given as you say that the first reports came through late on saturday that these boys were missing when one of the parents of the boys noticed that he hadn't returned from that football match and raised the alarm the navy divers who i mentioned before didn't arrive on the scene and start their work until early monday morning so the governor of chiang rai province where the cave is located has been asked that question he said the situation hasn't been moving as fast as anyone would like but simply because of the conditions the conditions are far too difficult to move any faster and they've been hampered by the weather of course and they're worried that if they push too fast that they could endanger the lives of

those rescue workers which is obviously something no one wants to see. not a german rescue ship with more than trying to migrants on board remain stranded at sea it's unclear yet if it's going to be able to dock in the mall to the maltese prime minister who is speaking at the moment jason let's get let's just listen in to what he's going to say about what he did on the mall for. the maltese government took the lead to see the two thousand solution before the situation as he came to. the first this distributing person. among the living or space to be in this in this. city is the this is a pending an investigation into the actions of and the lifeline including its inadequate they just ration given that the dutch authorities have formally refuted the fact that the vessel is registered under their flag and the decision to switch
