this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian finighan this is the live from coming up in the next sixty minutes european union plans to resolve the migration issue in disarray with italy threatening to veto a potential deal. the u.k. tolerated inexcusable treatment of u.s. detainees after the nine eleven attacks according to a new report. the emails that linked donald trump in the united arab emirates report claims close ties and influence over diplomatic a point. that it supports colombia and japan join the final sixteen as the world

cup ready for the knockout stage. italy is putting pressure on its e.u. partners to reach common ground on how to deal with the influx of refugees and migrants to europe in a dramatic escalation in tension between member states the newly elected populist italian prime minister picante has blocked a joint statement and threatened to veto the entire agenda if no solution is found lawrence lee reports from brussels. the european union is in trouble and they although it's the italians are now siding with the hungarian austrians in a front against migration the greeks are trying to keep up a spirit of unity with the spanish and the french and the country trying to keep it all from falling apart is germany that chancellor had already spelt out the danger to the entire block in a speech before she arrived but. europe faces many challenges but migration could

become the make or break one for the e.u. either we manage it so others in africa believe that we're guided by values and believe in multilateralism not unilaterally or nobody will believe any longer in the system of values that has made a strong. given that there's no possible way anymore that the bloc can find a united position on sharing refugees are now having to resort to arrangements between individual countries prepared to help so for example greece which has already failed to find accommodation for many who fled from turkey says it will take back more from germany to ease the political pressure on merkel from inside her own coalition. others repeated their calls for a calm approach to diffuse internal tensions many are talking about a crisis we're talking about numbers that at the moment are more or less eighty percent less than what it was last year so we're talking about numbers that are

perfectly manageable we shouldn't get into a panic state of minds our policies in the last year or so have started to produce results now they need to be sustained and it is extremely important that we do this in cooperation and partnership with our friends and countries of origin transit in particular in africa we're investing a lot in africa now member states need to do the same. but not only could they not make progress on issues like external holding centers in places like albania the size of the rift became clear as it's alleviates owed a planned joint statement from the political bloc putting yet more pressure on chancellor merkel with one day left of the summit it's worth remembering that the founding principle of the entire european project was and remains ever closer union and yet migration threatens to break that now because many countries either don't have the money or lack the political will to help anymore there is now a battle on for the heart and soul of the european union. this isn't

a refugee crisis it's really a crisis about the rule of law and humanitarian standards in the part of the world which claims to be the most moral does it do its people want to be that anymore these are big questions with no satisfactory solutions the recently of zero in brussels or italy as one of the countries that refused to let in a rescue ship carrying more than two hundred migrants the lifeline eventually docked in malta after being stranded at sea for six days and it's now being investigated with police questioning whether it was assisting smugglers al-jazeera johnson reports from walesa. the lifelines belong to the crew spent the day washing down the boat taking out rubbish accumulated during its six days at sea mission lifeline which owns the vessel has a more complicated cleanup of its reputation it's interactive accused of colluding

to smuggle people to europe after it refused to hand over two hundred thirty three rescued refugees to libyan authorities we picked up them on the twenty first of two in. about eighteen and twenty two miles. from the libyan coast so in international waters off the. coast guard boat approached us and told us to hand out the migrants to them they wanted to bring back some migrants to libya where they put to jail so we said well there's no way for us to hand odds of migrants. refused a lifeline a safe port in italy preferring to send refugees to camps in libya what to do is illegal so we think that italian is breaking international law because libya is not safe and if people are crowded in in such prisons and.

face monitress and say i and tortured and raped so we are sure that this is not a solution and should stop very very soon the plight of the lifeline embodies the broader european debate about whether to rescue refugees at sea and bring them to say forts in the european union or ship them to camps in so-called safe countries stablished humanitarian practice is that of bringing them to europe but there is disagreement on put in sharing and a growing chorus of hardliners supports outsourcing humanitarianism to others the lifelines refugees are now at. this processing center in walesa lucky to have their asylum interviews in europe from their balconies they can see the freedom with awaits them unemployment television and dominoes in this ship breaker's gold is safe but not a life and some european attitudes are hardening against freelance search and

rescuers who would help bring others here mulder's prime minister a liberal compared to some e.u. leaders hold this against them the captain of the said the so who went against international rules and ignored directions being given by the italian authorities who were coordinating the rescue it appears that european search and rescue has become a political not a humanitarian act jumps al-jazeera valetta. british spies have been accused of inexcusable actions related to the detention of hundreds of people by the us following the nine eleven attacks a report by a u.k. parliamentary committee found that they knew about suspected mistreatment but continued to supply intelligence paul brennan reports. the brutal methods of western intelligence agencies after nine eleven included waterboarding starvation sleep deprivation stress positions verbal threats and physical assaults on the u.k.'s intelligence and security committee set out to uncover the extent of british

involvement after fifty hours of testimony and forty thousand documents the conclusion was clear in our view the united kingdom tolerated actions and took others that we regard as inexcusable. the committee declared itself astonished that despite rendition being illegal in britain there is still no clear policy on the u.k.'s involvement in the practice by other countries via the u.k. and while there was no smoking gun showing british agents had physically abused detainees there were hundreds of cases where agents had been involved in interrogations despite knowing or suspecting mistreatment. but crucially the committee was prevented from talking to the agents involved we want to talk to the people who were in those posts back at that time and in addition to that we want to talk to people who were in the field at that time because without it you call fill in potential gaps campaigners say it's time for

a judge led independent inquiry which has greater powers to demand disclosure and compel witnesses to attend this is something the government promised back in twenty ten it has stalled but the government has until now always maintained this will be the position once the i se has finished its inquiry and so we now look to theresa may to establish that inquiry without delay the response from the intelligence agencies has come from an interview with an unnamed agent here at m i six in which they said that the agencies were unprepared for the upsurge in counterterrorism work which followed nine eleven but they hadn't had specific training in conducting detainee interviews but the tough important lessons had been learned and they did things very differently now. the abuses at abu ghraib bag graham obey and numerous so-called black sites around the world led to a global scandal and now even the united states prohibits its agents from using cruel or degrading interrogation methods but rendition and detentions are still

going on and the oversight of them remains murky paul brennan al-jazeera london let's get a view on this from washington lawrence korb is a former u.s. assistant secretary of defense he's with us style life could tell you with us again something that wasn't mentioned in our report there was the fact that the u.s. government was allowed to redact parts of this u.s. this u.k. government report what do you make of that. well i think the united states did not want to have more things come out about us because we did the investigations with our congressional committees and when president obama came in he basically said we're going to put this behind us we didn't prosecute many people this would have brought out something like five hundred auctions at the u.s. may that i think what has shown there were you know people involved in in doing doing these things and would have led to a demand to take action against them as we heard in the report the intelligence and

security committee of the produced it was denied access to military and security agency stuff and the detainees themselves by the british government the report therefore would be able to paint a full picture of the abuses suffered by detainees i mean what isn't this report telling us then well it's telling us that the united kingdom government work with the united states after nine eleven and was complicit in a lot of the things that that the united states did but unlike the united states where we have an independent a legislative branch the this committee the parliamentary committee could not force people to testify it couldn't subpoena people because in a parliamentary system you know you have the one government then obviously the the a prime minister may does not want to deal with this now given all the other issues

you're dealing with like for example as well as president trump undermining of the atlantic alliance has the u.k. breached its commitments the international prohibition of cruel inhumane and degrading treatment. well no doubt about it just from what was released now it's probably worse because obviously the government did not want some of these people to tell what happened it's just like the united states did we had in the bush administration some lawyers give legal opinions that made no sense that eventual we realize we too had violated international law is the any particular aspect of this report. the. concerns you well it does that it i had no i knew that we had work with the british but i did not know the extent to which they knew what was happening and still went ahead and

did it i thought maybe they had said no we won't get involved given you know what the united states is doing whether in iraq ghraib or in kuantan a i did not realize that the british you know were going along with this particularly since we were the ones who were taxed so after that the united states sort of lost its moral compass i am somewhat surprised that the united kingdom did as well how many other countries beyond the u.k. then. well again we had a lot of other countries there with us you know for example in iraq and afghanistan nato was in afghanistan i know that in iraq in addition to the british we had for example the polish government was there we had some countries from central and south america so it'd be interesting to see to what extent they were involved now the u.k.

was our major ally particularly in iraq so i hope that they were the ones who work more closely with us a lot of these other governments didn't do it but this is something we're going to have to live with for a while and what it does is rather than getting the information because when you're tortured you'll tell them anything that you want it creates more terrorists because people say see this is what they did to was so therefore we're justified and in doing whatever we need to to retaliate against them what was good to see so many thanks indeed lawrence called them in washington. thank you for having me some of donald trump's assistance had closer ties to the united arab emirates than previously thought according to a new report the middle east ice says that it has e-mails revealing that aides were willing to exchange inside information with the emirates the ambassador to the u.s. during the twenty sixteen election campaign helen fisher reports donald trump was

a key figure in all of this according to the emails the website middle east i says it of pain is tom brock a prominent and influential businessman he's an old friend of donald trump's and raised huge sums of money for his election campaign he was allegedly exchanging e-mails with us of the united arab emirates ambassador to washington. it's claimed the ambassador managed to change the republican party platform and its cleveland convention the first draft had a call to release twenty eight pages of classified documents from the nine eleven inquiry which were potentially embarrassing to saudi arabia a close ally that was removed. after don't trump surprise election victory in november twenty sixth in its alleged ambassador a tie but pushed for insights on who would be moved into key diplomatic intelligence and defense positions in the new administration it was his intention to brief his bosses including the m.

rattie chrome prince mohammed bin zayed. but then he also apparently offered his own suggestions middle east i says in one e-mail you wrote to tom barac about george w. bush's former homeland security advisor fran townsend i saw her last night and immediately thought she would be huge asset to you she would make a perfect director of national intelligence or d h s secretary she would hit the ground running on every issue tones and in fact made the shortlist for a key intelligence position she was considered as a possible f.b.i. director when james komi was fired middle east i suggest the e-mail exchange may be of interest to the ongoing millet inquiry into potential russian interference into the twenty sixteen presidential election and links to the trunk campaign he's looking for not just contact but for flows of money because what he's basically investigating is whether any foreign power and he started with russia but he's now continuing with united emirates and saudi arabia whether any foreign government

actively contributed financially to translation campaign and that would be illegal under u.s. law it's claimed crime prince been ziad canceled a planned trip to washington last month in case he was caught up in the inquiry the crown prince did meet donald trump at the white house in may last year and tomorrow at eleven thirty tom barrett who was interviewed by the miller investigation in december he actually recommended pomona for a strums campaign manager one of four no faces several charges arising out of that miller investigation. alan fischer al-jazeera washington for more on this let's bring in josh on in washington d.c. he's the executive director of the arab center a washington based think tank good to have you with the search should robert miller's investigation be equally focused on u.a.e. interference in to u.s. electoral affairs as it is on russian it appearance. i'm not sure

if it has to be equal focus but definitely there has to be some focus on that although i acknowledge that there is some opposition in this town particularly congress among republicans who basically think that's not part of the domain of the special counsel he should just focus on what he has been tasked with to start with which is the russian intervention thank you how will these leaks in fact upon us u.a.e. relations i think they have that chilling effect on the relationship going back to the earlier leaks with regards to some of the steps taken by the other useful atiba here in washington some of the people here affiliated with including previous collection of e-mails

affiliated with the person named george notter now you have this additional layer of revelation basically coming close to showing some if you will. interference in the electoral process in this country and if that if that's investigated fully and proven that could lead to some proof that there is a violation of law but by the relationship today between washington and abu dhabi is not where it should be or where it was before these revelations these leaks are highly embarrassing that the leadership in the u.a.e. is. frustrated about the way in which these leaks of being reported. i'm sure they're frustrated with the way they have been reported and i'm sure they are doing through their twenty to thirty different lobbying and p.r. firms they are doing their best to stem this tide or put an end to it totally if

possible but at the same time they haven't been able to they are clearly frustrated with the revelations with regards not only to the behavior of their ambassador here but with regards to revelations that could impact their important strategic bilateral relationship with the united states and what today's leaks reveal about the people behind the alleged. interference. i think it reveals a lot of course it's not surprising for those of us who have been focused on u.s. politics and particularly electoral politics it's not surprising many other countries have done the same and have done probably more. a case in point israel but there are other countries that have intervened to protect our advance their own interests by influencing decision making in this country including.

elections what is new is the fact first of all a very few people notice that countries are doing that particularly as you mentioned earlier the united arab emirates and saudi arabia number two is the kind of the readiness of people in campaigns to sell out mean when you when you have a key advisor to an american presidential campaign talk to a foreign representative and say our agenda as if like his agenda is not that uncommon with his candidate presidential candidate but in common with a foreign entity that raises some serious doubts about the system and how this foreign influence is spread so deep and so broadly into the electoral system he said many thanks indeed thing with the scale josh on that in washington my pleasure thank you. you know with the news out from out of syria still to come on
