one is going to hold but people do have cautious optimism that this one will be this could be a little bit different because it has been brokered by sudan not by the regional block i get and that it was signed by the two leaders it was signed by the president himself and the leader of the opposition and the representative of the south sudan's opposition alliance so so just because their top figures who have signed the ceasefire they're hoping that it might be a bit stronger than the previous these fires. to thailand where it's been nearly a week since twelve young footballers on the coach went missing in a cave that subsequently flooded in the north of the country more than a thousand dollars us soldiers and border calls have joined the search a new opening to the underground cave complex was discovered on friday raising hopes that the boys may still be found a low life school hyla has more from chiang rai. you can hear the hum of that big diesel generator behind me that or unstructured that's good news and we heard that again saturday morning as we climbed up this hill to the mouth of the cave that

rangar have fled me and mine the wake of a huge military crackdown last year. i saw certain houses abandoned their neighborhoods destroyed or half destroyed and i saw was so that in other parts of along the road where villages have existed before nothing much is anymore existent and the vegetation is taking over and. the landscape this observation leads me to the impressions that we have and which confirm i.c.r.c. easy assessment that in the right kind we are still very much engaged in an emergency operation i said to the americans now where rallies are planned across the u.s. on saturday to protest against the president's zero tolerance policies on immigration

earlier this month donald trump signed an executive order ending the separation of migrant children from their parents but that's too little to dampen the outrage as more repeller reports of washington d.c. . yeah dozens of signs and posters are being prepared for something big a protest bringing together more than one hundred different groups all opposed to u.s. president donald trump's zero tolerance policy on migrants it's a national day of action that's not only here in washington d.c. but also across the country the message is simple and our demands are simple we want to see families reunited once again and we want an end to family separation and family the tension policies images of children locked away crying out for their parents after being forcibly separated from them have shocked many the u.s. government admits more than twenty three hundred children have been taken from their parents since may a federal court has ordered them to be reunited. a majority of them are fleeing

violence in countries like hundred sandal salvator or extreme poverty in the case of guatemala the outcry from those opposing the treatment of child migrants has led to calls for protests across the united states. in washington on thursday nearly six hundred people were arrested during a demonstration inside the united states senate among those led away by police from capitol hill with hollywood actor and activist susan sarandon and we want to. give you a new. president from continues to call for strengthening of the us mexico border to the construction of a wall something immigration experts say does nothing to address the root cause of migration extreme violence and poverty in central america the practice of separating migrant families has halted but the organizers behind the protests against president france zero tolerance policy insist that more demonstrations like the ones planned for saturday will continue until these families are reunited.

washington and staying in the u.s. the comic a general motors is warning that trade tariffs on imported vehicles could lead to the isolation of american businesses from the global market g.m. has told us commerce department that thomas could force the company to downsize putting thousands of jobs at risk now that contrasts with the trumpet ministrations argument that tyrus on imported vehicles would protect u.s. industry robert e. sculpts is a senior economist and director of trade manufacturing at the economic policy institute he says the terrorists could actually boost domestic production. the tariffs are going to be costly. and they may be a particular costly for general motors on the other hand they also may lead to an increase paradoxically in auto production in the united states g.m. has proven itself unable to make automobiles in particular. they do fine making

trucks and s.u.v.s but they can't make automobiles that's what they're for the talking about putting in tariffs on but what we've seen in the past when the u.s. imposes trade restraints we did this and nineteen eighties on all imported autos especially those coming from japan those those other producers simply shift its production to the united states that would be the sensible response so us as a whole may gain even if general motors loses as a result of these tariffs. canada sit back and the united states over steel in alimony and towers with twelve billion dollars in retaliatory measures on american goods canada's plan will take effect from next week and include tower it's on u.s. imports like go get coffee and toilet paper. canada has no choice but to retaliate with a measured perfectly reciprocal dollar for dollar response and that is what we are doing i cannot emphasize enough they were bred with which we take these

counter measures we are acting very much in store oh not in anger but the us terrorists leave canada no choice but to defend our industries our workers and our communities and i can assure you that we will maintain the firm resolve to do so. but mexicans head to the polls on sunday to choose the next president frontrunner on the last leg while lopez obrador is vowing to reverse decades of decline and poverty in rural areas but as joe holan reports in the states of michigan to be a tough pledge to fulfill. the mix can countryside decimates but puppets in an empty bun migration over decades. as is one of the aging population of small scale phones struggling to compete with industrial scale operations in the world the mexico and the u.s.

also all that i know i produce grains but not money he says that many communities the young have either left or turned to more lucrative ventures many in there although they sell drugs they kidnap they live well for a few days and then they get killed just next to my house or there was head of a kidnapping. this month promises to change that presidential front runner andres manuel lopez obrador has made the neglected mix can country side a campaign priority. he said here we're focused government support from large industrial producers to smaller farms to help them get quality seeds technological know how better access to loans and the guaranteed minimum price for their crops it's all part of an ambitious plan for mexico to produce its own food. they're buying everything abroad that we could grow in mexico me that's going to

stop. in the past there were incredibly strong ties between mexicans and the land this is the birthplace of corn itself but it's a different country now daming with a booming urban population and the global market the question is if it's really possible or even worth the cost of resuscitating this sector so that. even lopez obrador team says the wholesale change he promises will be impossible in one of been a straight. and agricultural economists who in general support the plan have questioned of price guarantees for individual farmers and in particular in forcing home grown food and carry a steep cost for authorities and consumers is one cause one thousand people that in consequence it's going to be very expensive for the government and mexican taxpayer that. promise them so seems split between those two banking on

a ruling party which has given them just enough to survive and those like a year or more voting in the hope of change john homan how does it make to account . a spacecraft that's taken off from cape canaveral in the us is set to be the last of its kind three two one. we have ignition and lift off the falcon nine rocket pilot companies they say resupplying the international space station is part of a nasa mission but the company says it's. the last time it'll use this type of rocket it will now focus on producing rockets that can be used after returning from space. you're watching al-jazeera i'm still robin these are all top news stories more than one hundred refugees and migrants are missing feared drowned after their boat
