they receive this. well the point here is surely as if the deal that's been arrived at in brussels appears unimpressive to people in brussels what matters now here in germany is how that deal is perceived in bavaria specifically by the christian social union that governs the states of area and which in coalition with angela merkel here in berlin controls the interior ministry as the interior minister holds the whole for who are affectively compelled angle americal to try to find a european solution with the threats that he has interior minister this coming monday we decide to start sending refugees back at the borders so how will he perceive this this deal this solution the point to make is it is becoming clear today that there are some member states of the european union for specifically france poland spain and denmark who are prepared to enter into negotiations on a bilateral one might say quadrilateral basis with germany about taking on some

migrant some refugees and mr is a hopeful we understand is going to be charged with that negotiation so the question for him and his party now is do they want to stay in the government do they want to accept this solution do they want to retract. their threats to go it alone ministerial e. and fall into line with angela merkel and indeed the rest of the e.u. with this deal or do they want to plow on and potentially plunge the government here into the uncertainty that would ensue big questions we might get some answers on sunday because the christian democratic union that's going to merkel's party and separately the christian social union have a very and allies will be meeting on sunday afternoon to discuss the aftermath of this brussels deal this brussels summit and we'll be following as you can imagine we'll be following those events very closely on sunday to see what's what facts will emerge from them part time and i can live in berlin thank you italy's new populist prime minister has threatened to block a day on less other e.u.

countries agreed to share the number of refugees coming to the e.u. here far to them as a bargain charlie antal has more from sicily. we're hearing tanya and this is the last ship that brought in rescued migrants two weeks ago since then interior minister matteo salvini has closed italy's ports and at the summit there was no discussion as to what will happen the next time a european boat carrying rescued migrants is left stranded in the mediterranean instead italy's prime minister just every county emerged from the summit saying italy is no longer alone he went in threatening to use his veto it if there was not an agreement that suited italy he did and because of that italians believe they got some concessions but nothing will change if we don't play hardball on grey's our voices will never get anything so long. under the new e.u. agreement italy could host voluntarily new migrant centers that would process all arrivals and determine which are genuine refugees and which are illegal migrants to

us. this country already has refugee camps the difference is that these arrivals would no longer be subject to the dublin regulations italy would not be responsible for them soley the idea is they could be divided up between other member states but again there's no concrete agreement on hell that would happen and for italians sharing the burden is a key issue. italy's been left alone it's true but of course i don't agree on the methods used by our interior minister i do think europe has to be reformed especially because there is no agreement on this issue the agreement also promises to explore the idea of setting up disembarkation platforms in north africa to try and process migrants before they even attempt to the mediterranean crossing but not all italians are convinced because he was offered a full month trying to fix the problem in africa on the spot and trying to help them here it is really difficult those fleeing war should always be welcomed and

not pushed away but pushing away is exactly what italy has done in closing its ports and the new e.u. declaration that asylum seekers landing in italy are actually arriving in europe seems almost redundant. but in our head of the news hour and quoting will tell you why ethiopia's economy is in crisis despite government efforts to boost exports and contain rising inflation. mexico's presidential front runner is promising he will rescue the country's impoverished population but it might not be that simple i'm john holmes and i'll tell you more. and the biggest star in basketball or on james has a huge decision to make details coming up in sports. a man with murder after five people were killed at a newspaper office in the u.s. state of maryland the police have searched an apartment complex listed as

according to a new report the middle east has e-mails appealing aides were willing to exchange inside information with them iranian basser to the u.s. during the two thousand and sixteen campaign alan fisher has more donald trump was a key figure in all of this according to the emails the website middle east says if the pain is told 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 monies to change the republican party platform at its cleveland convention the first draft of the coulter least 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 dalton surprise

looking for not just contact but for flows of money because what he's basically investigating is whether any foreign policy started with russia but he's now continuing with you know emirates and saudi arabia whether any foreign government actively contributed financially to trump selection campaign and that would be illegal under u.s. law it's claimed crown prince been ziad canceled a planned trip to washington last month because 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 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 the miller investigation by alan fischer al jazeera washington. players are present in qatar and the united arab emirates are making their final arguments before the

united nations highest court at the hague qatar to the u.a.e. to the international court of justice accusing it of violating human rights as a result of the blockade imposed on too hard by the u.a.e. and three other countries last year qatar says companies and individuals have been denied access to education medicine and justice a barker has more from the hague. there was a tense legal battle underway at the moment casts of the u.a.e. do not see eye to eye over whether the i.c.j. should have the jurisdiction to continue with this case just to remind you the u.a.e. has been accused by cats are of violating the international convention on the eradication of all forms of racial discrimination which the u.a.e. is a key signatory and there are procedures to follow if there are accusations of violation of these key treaty firstly that the nations in question speak to each other directly in order to try and come to some sort of solution secondly that the

complaint is referred to the committee in charge of this treaty and finally that it's referred here to the un's highest court consul argues that all of these stages have been fulfilled that it has attempted to have negotiations with the u.a.e. with the u.a.e. is simply ignored those attempts secondly qatar also argues that it's possible for these different stages to happen similar taney asli allowing therefore this case to be heard here at the i.c.j. the u.a.e. disputes that claiming that protocol hasn't been properly followed essentially accuses the u.a.e. of discrimination against its people of preventing qataris with the expulsion of them from the country from accessing assets property education health care and judicial services a little later on in the day the u.a.e. will have a chance to speak of to which the court here will decide exactly what to do next terry cadman is an international human rights lawyer he joins us now from london

thank you very much for your time so mr president for this type of case if you. have to repeat the question are you sure i said is there a precedent for this type of case. well there are obviously the international court of justice has a as a long history of dealing with state state disputes this this case is particularly unique in in in the circumstances that surrounds the allegations that are being made by the state of qatar. as as quite rightly was reported to the u.a.e. is contesting jurisdiction. the state of qatar has put its arguments for would as to what they are effectively arguing and these are compelling arguments that been put forward and based on the fundamental principles of international law there have also been expert opinions recently by two leading international legal scholars who have clearly stated that the conduct force within the convention on the elimination

of all forms of racial discrimination and got there is quite right when they state that the i.c.j. has jurisdiction it clearly does all forms to mediate failed the u.a.e. simply dismiss is that. and we expect them to say the same again today but it is likely that the i.c.j. as as a preliminary issue will will hold that it has jurisdiction to hear the claims if qatar. prevails and when is there a way to actually make. comply. well that's always going to be the big question once it goes to a substantive hearing and cut stablish is the the the allegations which which are well documented and well known it's unclear other than contesting jurisdiction what the u.a.e. will actually put forward whether they will put forward

a lot of justification which is under like three to succeed but the big issue is in foresman of any future decision that the international court of justice issues and we know one of the leading cases from the i.c.j. relates to the the war in jerusalem that has not been implemented but of course there is diplomatic pressure that the state of qatar can bring on the u.a.e. they can take it to the u.n. general assembly. and the big question is whether u.a.e. wants to become more of a pariah state the the human rights violations that all persistently violated by the state to buy u.a.e. a well known well documented and it's a question of whether they are actually going to respect the ruling of the international court of justice they would be very foolish to think they can just ignore it and walk away from it ok i want to say on how this all plays out take had been joining us from london thank you very much. a twelve hour ceasefire in syria's

darragh province has ended a temporary was a great on after intense fighting between pro-government forces and the free syrian army a ten day military offensive in terror left at least eighty people dead on thursday now the un office for human rights says warning that civilians in syria southwestern province may be trapped cocktail opus dei on reports. this is the province that sparked syria's uprising seventy years ago now rebel controlled areas of daraa are unrecognizable days of airstrikes have left their mark there. now a warning of civilians trapped in unable to escape the u.n. says there are reports fighters are not allowing civilians to leave the real concern is that we're going to see a repetition of what we saw in eastern kuta the bloodshed the suffering of the civilians being held being under a siege the u.n. estimates more than forty five thousand people have managed to flee most heading to

the israeli occupied golan heights and to neighboring jordan but they can only go so far jordan has closed its border that they keep border open for people fleeing south there is no there is no other place to go but jordan says it can't afford to take in more syrian refugees. coming out of the let me sort of jordan already has one point three million syrians a country has reached its maximum capacity jordan has been shoulder in this responsibility and i must say we've been doing so alone. roughly one hundred targets were hit by russian in syrian forces on thursday dozens of civilians were killed. a deescalation agreement was in place but the truce was overlooked by syria's government and its allies russia's ambassador to the u.n. says the agreement doesn't apply in what he describes as one of the last

strongholds of al qaeda and i still in syria or on the condition that the this is not this is not. concern that that is who are. who are not exempt from being fought and this latest cease fire now over not long enough for those still trying to get out card to llopis will yon al-jazeera four years ago i saw control of the iraqi city of mosul the battle to recapture it cost thousands of lives and the city was left in ruins mohammed him soon looks at life there now. mosul may be clear of iceland. but reminders of the group's reign are everywhere. not just of the group's atrocities but also the brutal fighting it took to topple them. here streets are still him to eat and buildings are destroyed. for the former residents who were lucky enough to

escape ice was web of violence and inhumanity and things remain difficult. thought his homecoming would be a happy one he and his family fled in two thousand and fourteen they were overjoyed when at out the forces declared they'd retaken mosul then he saw what remains of their house not civil a yet of saddam but a shout out that isn't wherever you go there's awful destruction you go outside you'll see entire neighborhoods destroyed and in some parts you can still smell dead bodies lying under the rubble it's impossible to bring our families to such a place where the smell of death is still lingering. strewn about are symbols of suffering. of youth stopped dead in its tracks of a displacement crisis that is nowhere near over. the deer whose family can't afford to rebuild struggles to come to terms with all that has happened. neither one

official nor n.g.o.s visited us in order to help no one has come forward and asked us if we have leads we have not begged still we only want to rights and help from good people so we can get back on track while the situation remains dire there are signs of hope some philanthropists and contractors are promising to restore this city. as bulldozers roll through bringing a sense of anticipation to these alleyways that. we have taken the initiative to rebuild destroyed houses and most old because we have seen the high level of destruction so we decided to hold hands together with the people of mosul and start this reconstruction campaign. still no one expects this will be easy attempting restoration and. so much.
