title at the international. ceasefire has reportedly been violated just hours after coming into effect government forces and rebels in the north west are blaming each other for breaking the truce the agreement was signed by president salva kiir and rebel little red much are in neighboring sudan at least fifty thousand people have been killed and four million forced from their homes since the civil war began in two thousand and thirteen let's speak to the borg and she's been covering the conflict in south sudan extend extensively just give us an idea of context what's behind the latest violence well both sides are accusing each other. less than six hours after it came into effect yesterday or early hours of this morning the president issued an order

to his forces saying that as of the early hours of saturday the would come into effect and that they should hold back unless attacked the opposition all said the same thing that they should also hold back unless attacked now the fact that there is a violation regardless of who started it and who's to blame shows that both leaders don't have complete control of their commands the fact that they would issue an order on a national scale to their forces and that is a violation it shows that not every single commander on the ground is on board with this agreement of ceasefire but every commander is happy with what with all the negotiations happening whether it's an i decide. or in khartoum or the coming and the coming round of talks in nairobi given what you just said is there a risk that this is actually just going to extrapolate and all of a sudden we're going to have several different factions all fighting with each other that neither leader can actually control while this has happened before every single time a cease fire has been signed into fifteen when a peace agreement was signed commanders come out and say we're not happy with this

deal so they form their own factions and when the opposition leader again splits from the government again they join so what happens is you usually have people who are having grievances against the government or against the opposition forming their own alliances forming their own groups and then they merge together and then again separate this so many fraction faction a fraction groups in south sudan conflict we have more than a dozen armed groups all of them fighting they have signed the cease fire recently but the fact remains that not everybody is on board with the agreements that are being negotiated not everybody is on board with the cease fire has been signed this is the tenth ceasefire to be signed and violated since the conflict started in twenty thirteen thanks very much and. the african union has asked south sudan's rival leaders to stop fighting and pursue dialogue in the civil war they are meeting in mauritania of sunday's summit which has been overshadowed by an attack in mali on friday. has more from new york short.

african leaders are concerned about the growing instability in the sahara region particularly following the deadly attack targeting their headquarters of the g five in in mali g five is a task force which comprises troops from mauritania book enough fossil charred and somali and its goal is to defeat groups of related with all kind of the islamic state and. and the spine of the assistance that the g five has been getting from the international community of the un and france it seems that this is going to be a long battle to be able to contain the rise of those groups the african union also is concerned about the instability in south sudan following the collapse of the cease fire leaders meeting here in mauritania are going to put more pressure on the south sudanese president silva care and here's why of all rick must charter trying

to contain the crisis and push for a road map that would and civil war in south sudan there are also other issues like the dispute between morocco and the police over the future of western sahara african union is a pan african organization a mean to speed up a little girl and economic integration they hope to be able to have their own single market single currency and central bank but many say this is going to take some time unless african union's tackle first of all regional conflicts the need to and armed conflicts for them to be able to pursue their political agenda. al jazeera washout ok let's return to our main story those protests across the u.s. against donald trump zero tolerance immigration policy i want to bring in sherry cos she's in the arbor in michigan she's a professor of social work at the university of michigan and she attended to keep

families together march in an hour thank you very much indeed for joining us on our disease can you give me some idea of the kind of people that were out on the streets in ann arbor today. it was a wonderful march because people of many generations took part in the protest rally and so there were people from. two years old to eighty years old and it was a very much a mix of people from a an arbor the reaction to the size of the protests there and what's that been like given the fact that i mean donald trump won in michigan and that was a surprise win for him. and yes it was very much so. that doesn't mean that everybody in michigan is in favor of these particular policies just to be clear how much of the protests that you've seen

today is about the law itself and how much of it is about the way the law is being inactive. i think it's important to separate those two because what the protests today were principally about is the way that laws has been enacted in particular it's about the separation of families at the border and even more specifically it's about the separation of families when they are planning to apply for asylum. this is of course a process that has existed under previous administrations is just that the trumpet ministration is choosing to enact it shall we say in a different some would say harsher way but certainly there is that the law has already existed. to what extent do you think that the protests like this like the ones we are seeing across the u.s. are rightly going to have any impact on the trump administration.

well it's difficult to say that for sure however the protests that have been taking place all over the country for the past few weeks have already begun to have an impact in the sense that president trump did sign an executive order to stop separating families at the border now with this order he has not stopped detention so the current zero in force one policy required that separate parents and children and they were detained in separate places their current executive order says we're still going to keep doing what we're doing we're still going to have the zero tolerance policy but now we're going to detain them together and so i don't think that you'll see the protests stopping because of this particular change in the policy how confident are you that donald trump is going to stick by his

executive order and he might not change his mind on it at some point in the future . i think we've learned that with the current administration things could change by the hour and it's very difficult to ascertain what this specific policy is going to look like in one week one month one year from today we're seeing a lot of pictures as we're talking from the protests across the u.s. we're seeing some from new york at the moment of course there's been protests and shug chicago that we showed pictures of earlier but in terms of the impact on making a significant change we are facing the midterm elections which are coming up in the van but how confident can you be that those that the the the actions that people are taking at the moment are going to translate into some sort of action come november or are we going to see what's happened before which is that the the outrage is going to peak and then will simply die away.

of course it's always difficult to predict the future but the protest actions that have been taking place recently are important in my mind because they are sponsored by and intended not just by immigration advocates and people concerned with immigration issues but people from many parts of the united states who are concerned for example with family issues. people who are concerned with a number of ways that this particular policy has an imposed trauma on children on the family members on communities and those of us from the outside who are directly impacted by this policy so it's hard to tell whether protest movements will peak whether when they will stay i think we have to wait and see just what's

going to happen after this particular set of rallies has over really interesting to get your point of view in this show to thank you very much indeed for giving us your time thank mexicans are going to head to the polls on sunday in an election that could have told a major change of political direction for the country left wing candidate and there's money to lopez obrador is the favorite to become president traditionally the country has elected leaders with more right wing inclinations but voters are angry at widespread corruption and the lack of response to the cartel violence latin america added to the sea and human is in mexico city for us to see a thanks very much for being with us there's last minute electioneering going on is there really any doubt about the outcome of this election. well you never know especially in a country like mexico with it has a long tradition of voter tampering of people buying votes but everything seems to indicate that even rather than despite this and this money. has

a seemingly insurmountable lead that none of the other candidates will be able to overcome he has more than twenty percent more than his nearest rival from the national action party the conservative party that's its closest rival we have seen though that that would just heard is that one out of every three mexicans has been approached by one party or another to try to buy their vote for as little as two chickens to as much as five hundred dollars rob so that is the kind of hanky panky and and and sort of nontransparent practices that has marred elections in the past but which at least at the presidential level experts believe will not only make the difference but if i understand it correctly lose here there's also been a significant amount of interference by by criminal gangs for example some ball additions have been killed i mean in terms of transparency come people eventually

the results of this election. well you're absolutely right this has been the most violent election campaign in recent memory let me just give you some of the figures seventy seven thousand one hundred would be candidates stepped down most of them because of threats where they have been more than one hundred or there have been one hundred thirty six to this minute because that number seems to go up all the time one hundred and thirty six politicians assassinated eight of them candidates to different positions from air to local deputies and the list goes on and on and on however the electoral council itself is deemed to be very transparent very credible and so in that sense once the votes are cast oh and by the way let me add that they've been thousands of ballots stolen at gunpoint in different parts of the country we hear now that they've been replaced but it is this is not by any means a normal situation but given the mexican situation given compared rather to other

elections we believe that it mexicans should be able to more or less believe that the results are the real ones see if obrador gets in there is going to be a left wing nationalist in leading mexico and of course across the border in the u.s. we've got. nationalist populist there what kind of impact do you think that is that going to have on relations between the u.s. and mexico especially given the current situation about migrants. indeed you know a lot of people have been comparing. with donald trump except for the fact that look this all around the world is far more prone to want to spend money on the poor than donald trump but he has certainly been trying to be very conciliatory towards the u.s. administration any president actually that is elected to this country is going to have problems with donald trump for all the obvious reasons mexicans reject the at the very notion of building a wall to separate them the latest incident with these children being separated from their parents has only exacerbated that but he does recognize that he has to

work with the united states and with whatever president is in the white house and so we really aren't expecting there to be much more of a difference with the opposite a lot in the presidency if he does win than with any of the other more conservative candidates rob this event's very much indeed divers searching for twelve young footballers in their coach who'd been missing for a week of money to go several kilometers into a flooded cave in thailand a new opening to the underground complex has been discovered offering hope the boys may still be found alive one of the boy's parents handed out this picture showing several of the team he's marked his son on the photograph and scott hardly reports relatives are trying to remain positive that the boys will be found alive. the. week after the boys and their coach passed this entrance into the cave a line of ambulances and hundreds of workers carry out a drill for their rescue. non-home boone is the mother of one of those boys

she tells us thirteen year old among them loved all sports but football was his favorite mother and son are very close uncharacteristically he did not ask for permission to go to the cave often take that he's a good boy he liked to play football since he was small i always support him i never thought any of the light would happen because whenever he would leave will he always act. for the first few days after monk or went missing his mother just cried at one point she was so distraught and exhausted she fainted she's only just started eating again she did not previously know any of the other parents of the missing boys now they're getting strength from each other i feel much better now and this the pause is making me stronger i have to be strong but i received my son . the tom long cave complex goes on for kilometers now this is

a section of it across from where the searching for the boys and their coats is going on now now people here locals believe that there is a spirit in these caves and this is where they come to make offerings to it while offerings to the caves spirits and gods continue. so does the searching for a second day water is flowing from the mouth of the cave decreasing the level inside the flooded sections of the cave complex and rain has been light. and in the hills another chimney or hole leading down toward the cave is being explored as a possible way into the cave complex. the spirit of the cave is fable to be that of a woman who is waiting for her husband to return to her much like the relatives who have been here since last saturday scott had her al-jazeera chiang rai. still ahead on al jazeera. hundreds of yemenis seeking asylum on a south korean resort island. with

horde an election on that green the fifth of july. new government will be in place in islamabad to take key decisions on the future relationship or doesn't run a stand and the plight of the afghan refugees residing in this country a united nations high commission for refugees a mistake that despite the fact that it was indeed their day to nine the government of pakistan was likely to increase that deadline in the end of day and to ease the suffering of the of one refugee dieting across this country u.s. president donald trump says he's convince the arabia to increase its oil production saudi and fellow all exporters i don't ready agreed on an extra one million barrels a day that opec meeting this month from tweeted just spoke to king solomon of saudi arabia and explain to him that because of the turmoil and dysfunction in iran and venezuela i am asking the saudi arabia increase oil production maybe up to two

million barrels to make up the difference price is too high he has a. read that saudi arabia made no mention of numbers in a statement about the phone call which reads u.s. president and u.s. president trump and king solomon stressed all efforts must be made to maintain stability of the global oil market and the world economy's growth both leaders emphasized that endeavors made by producer countries to meet any possible shortage of supply must be endorsed how much carbon is a professor of conflict resolution george mason university he says the move has the potential to cause opec to implode as a trade organization while so far we have two sides to the same conflict within opec we have the saudis and the russians who happen to be the top all exporters so they have a lot of clout in the decision making of this organization and then we have the iranians and their allies so if we look deeper i think this is another confirmation

of an only go in trend where would lead that is like trump like c.c. like and how many of them and all those who are willing to be members of the club of the powerful and by moving this way or pushing this way they are ignoring all kind of jumping over all these treaties and international organisations so unfortunately we are now in a world where bilateral relations between strongly that is more significant than the traditional kind of alliance and global diplomacy italy and malta have both refused to take in the sixteen migrants rescued from a rubber dinghy in the sea near libya on saturday they were picked up by a spanish flagged vessel done by a humanitarian group pro active open arms and a lot of sail four days to reach barcelona italy's interior minister matteo savini has vowed that no more humanitarian groups rescue boats will be allowed to dock in italy about one hundred people are still missing after their boat went down in the

mediterranean on friday. on sunday austria takes over the rotating presidency of the e.u. with chancellor sebastian cortes has taken a hardline stance over europe's migration crisis dominic kane looks at how having austria at the helm could impact the bloc. he says country's youngest leader and now for six months at least on paper europe's as austrian chancellor since last december sebastian quotes has governed in a coalition with the far right and increasingly his policies have reflected that year. austria's goal is to stop the tide of illegal immigration the refugee and migrant influx into europe we have always stuck to our position and will use the e.u. presidency to work on a sound european solution that can only be achieved if the protection of our external borders works we have to be the ones who decide who come into europe not

the people smugglers. cts says he sees his country's role as a bridge between east and west which is why he's been making overtures to the countries of what's called the visa grad group the czech republic hungary poland and slovakia who some in brussels consider to be in the e.u.'s awkward squad they don't share the desire for an ever deeper union and don't want to accept more migrants or refugees trying to cross the mediterranean that he would have to go back to dog back everybody jumps into the water people catch them bring them out fish them out of the water and automatically they're basically ferried into the european union i don't believe this is a complex border defense it's extremely important that we define what happens with those who are trying to cross seas illegally into the european union. there is another border that is important to ministers in vienna this is the south's ak river a natural front here dividing austria and germany from each other but in recent times the government of sebastien courts has been reaching across this river to try

to establish good relations with the government in a very and it was sickly regarding immigration and border controls because ministers in munich and vienna want to see much more of this police checking people crossing their shared frontier a technical but apparently temporary breach with the e.u. showing an open borders deal but while this is clearly what courts is seeking his counterpart in berlin angela merkel has resisted the widespread return of such controls insisting that chang and is a vital plank the e.u. policy away from the issue of migration another problem the austrians will face is the pressing question of how to deal with the e.u.'s budget which means that as mr cortes takes a seat around the e.u. table he will face lots of questions which may not have easy answers dominic kane al-jazeera oberndorf by support. there have been rival rallies in south korea over

the rising number of yemenis seeking asylum there i hundreds of protesters gathered in the central sold to support refugees and chanted slogans to welcome the more than five hundred people from yemen flown to the resort island of jeju since december the government was forced to hold an emergency meeting on friday to deal with the crisis eventually promising to tighten its laws quickly since has more from the anti refugee protest in seoul. south koreans are protesting against what they see is a refugee crisis here in the country this is because more than five hundred yemenis have accessed the country through holaday island called j g u r l and they now stuck to it because the government has moved to meet them in coming to the mainland there's only about three hundred people here right now but they represent about half a million people who signed a petition urging the government to revise its legislation to give them all the

refugees these protesters taking place there is another protest one hundred meters away in support of the refugee none of this is hoping for yemenis who so far as do a stock of. fighting in yemen has forced more than two million people from their homes most remain inside the country but hundreds of thousands have fled overseas according to the u.n.h.c.r. fifty one thousand have gone to neighboring oman another forty thousand are in somalia which already has one point five million internally displaced people it's followed by saudi arabia which is leading the coalition war effort in yemen and djibouti a much smaller number have traveled to asian countries like malaysia where they can stay visa free for three months most yemenis trying to get to europe go via libya making them vulnerable to mistreatment and drowning in an album highty is an asylum seeker from yemen he says he has no choice but to go to your island in south korea

. g.-u. island was the only country of bailable for us to go to without a visa and claim asylum because we can go into a few countries in the world with us of these but they don't accept refugees or they didn't sign the. united nations convention they cream and want to accept refugees and stuff. of south korea but it's i mean we can't go to south korea we can go. and study country now while we can go to. claim asylum because obviously if we go to another country and stay there with. if i want visa expires than we will be stuck in jan or debilitation sense and because in order to be deported back to him because he's an expired us and then you have to go to a neighboring country because it isn't that and that was there's not there's a damn.
