4:02 pm
and israel to open their borders to two hundred seventy thousand people that according to the united nations have been uprooted from their homes in the past two weeks during the syrian government's the military offensive province many of them are taking shelter very close to the a border with nothing because aid organizations have not been able to access the area the jordanian government says we have been delivering aid but definitely it is not enough people are complaining about the lack of water the lack of medical and medical supplies are living out in the open in the heat so there is a humanitarian crisis and this offensive that is on the ground is continuing the syrian government pushing ahead trying to take more ground trying to pressure the remaining rebel factions to surrender a number of rebel factions have surrendered in separate reconciliation deals which
4:03 pm
really amounts to a surrender that the government regains control of an area and the rebels lay down their arms but many other rebel factions just cannot do that they're looking for and demanding security guarantees and it is just not enough for them the russians or the syrian government to provide those guarantees they're looking for a third party because they don't have any trust in the syrian government and some activists have told us that the russian options that are on the table do not involve the possibility to leave and some people want to leave they do not want to stay over and reconciled with the state so difficult negotiations ahead the jordanian foreign minister heading to moscow to discuss a possible cease fire because according to the jordanian foreign minister they need to reach some sort of a deal in order to prevent further devastation. in the jordan side of the border with syria thousands of people gathering the border on the
4:04 pm
syrian side leaving their homes with very little to survive what aid is able to get to them. well we think something's getting across laurie if you look just over my shoulder you might be able to make out the sort of bit of black smoke left drifting in the air that is the remains of a syrian military storage facility of some sort that was destroyed earlier on today and just in front of those there are at least where i am in the job of crossing at least about twenty thousand civilians we understand from the jordanian military and the latest figures we have are ninety five thousand civilians according to jordan the jordanian military source all way across this border now some military aid has been going through from here has been seen going through it hasn't been seen being passed over for me it's very dusty has been seen being passed over the other side
4:05 pm
but the assumption is that some of it's getting through hoping the military will allow the media to go and have a look later on but there is very little there isn't really enough it is very hot it's very dusty people living there without any food without any running water conditions are very very difficult you'll see as a couple of these trucks behind me are locally donated a couple of those have gone through earlier on some with some bread that's been such on there for a couple of days or now not much use really through anybody would scenes and blankets and some spare clothing also waiting to go through so it's certainly getting up to the fence and we think some of it's getting on the other side laura ok just explain to us why this area is important to turn president bashar al assad . well for us south eastern. southwestern syria i beg your pardon is very strategically important because you have the borders with israel and you have the border with jordan the border with israel means the golan heights and assad wants to reassert
4:06 pm
a presence there and here the border with jordan we have border crossings with jordan but our side wants to get control of again and it's indeed to control of those border crossings that is part of the for discussion with the russians who are trying to persuade or force the rebel groups to give up this area in return for the end of the bombarding so it is so it is strategically very important for our side and that is now why his regime has moved on to trying to take control of this area laura ok bernard smith many thanks for that update on the situation on the jordan syria border now the united nations special envoy to yemen has returned for talks aimed at ending fighting in one data that's the main port for a needed by millions martin griffiths is due to meet leaders of the warring sides over the next three days the rebels are accusing the saudi amorality coalition of ten as strikes and ground attacks are said edred halted fightings to give peace

4:10 pm
more people many more people in favor of the arrest you can see the. face. saying that we believe that this day would come but finally someone someone who we thought would never have to answer for anything that he's done is being called to on to and it's going to have to answer in a court of law ok florence lawyers all the latest from in malaysia thanks very much . now rescuers have dubbed it mission possible but they have defied the odds to find twelve boys and their football coach stuck inside a waterlogged cave in northern thailand but the hardest part may yet lie ahead and that is how to get them out now take a look at this they're trapped here sheltering on a rock deep within the pitch black belly of the mountain and the passageways leading to them are extremely narrow now floating here is blocking them from
4:11 pm
returning this way towards where the team shoes and bags were found and down here is the entrance to the cave complex that's about four kilometers from where the boys are now thailand's prime minister has thanked the international community for support and assistance in the search and rescue operation. last night's event has created gratitude and happiness for people all over the country both in thailand and the world i will use this opportunity as a lesson in rescuing increasing the standard for people in all fields government of private the people you can see that there is a lot of cooperation in many ways i have to thank you for national community in assisting us this would not have been possible if we didn't help each other everybody did their part. by day joins us now from chan right just outside the entrance to the caves where those boys traps so the big question remains doesn't it when how to get these boys out where are we at with rescue efforts.
4:12 pm
yes that is the big focus really all the search and rescue personnel being led by the local government here in chiang rai province the governor has been the one that is beginning regular updates well in the last few hours we heard from his at dieppe you be providing us with some details of exactly what is going on inside the cave at the moment focusing with that group with that thirteen in they are all making sure they are is well as possible at that their health is as good as possible and from all indications the reports coming from inside there is that they are fairly healthy and they are in good spirits they've been able to give them some basic food nothing too significant nothing too substantial because after all they haven't really eaten much if anything for the past nine or ten days and then of course as you say they are trying to work out the best quickest the safest way to get the boys and their football coach out of there they are. considering still working on
4:13 pm
the idea of giving them some basic dive training because there is going to be have to be a lot of diving to get them out of there if indeed they do come back through the caves and exit the way that they went in there on that saturday afternoon so that is still the focus still trying to work out the safest way to do that as far as the timeline goes well nobody really knows the deputy governor says they will begin that operation as soon as possible as soon as it is safe to do that and then they work through that group that is inside the cave and they will choose the fittest the strongest the healthiest and start with those individuals and begin getting them out but the governor earlier in the day said look this could happen next week it could happen. in a month's time they simply don't know at this stage and they're still trying to get the water level inside the cave as low as possible but it's such a huge relief for parents and relatives who are waiting for this news exactly but what now for them because they could be waiting twenty four hours they could be
4:14 pm
waiting for months what do they do now. yes it's very much an unknown situation for them as well of course and they're relying on the few updates to the coming from the local administration throughout the day there are still many of them here some have drifted back to home with the good news that the boys and the coach have been found but still many are staying in this encampment here that's been set up at the main entrance to the cave so it's really just a waiting game and still a lot of the attention as i mentioned is on the water level and there we haven't had any significant rainfall really for a few days now it's been fairly dry throughout today and they're hoping that it stays that way although the forecast doesn't suggest that the forecast is that there is some more heavy rain on the way so that's very much and everyone's minds as well so they continuing to pump a saying the water level inside those parts of the cave that are still flooded is
4:15 pm
dropping by about one centimeter every hour will they need that to continue and if possible increase ok wayne many thanks for that update from chiang rai. we have plenty more still ahead here on the news hour including promises of help writing to refugees in desperate need after a high powered visit. and we look at how egypt has changed and five years as the overthrow of its first democratically elected president. and england win their first world cup knockout game in twelve years all well colombia reached the quarter finals tatiana will have all the build up that much in school. germany's chancellor has managed to save her governing coalition after reaching a compromise on migration angela merkel agreed to build border camps for asylum seekers and to tighten the border with austria but within hours austria responded
4:16 pm
saying it will tighten its southern border rather than risk having migrants rejected by germany stranded on its soil a mccain as the latest from. the route of a migration is the crisis that just won't go away frank an american no sooner she agreed to deal with her variant conservative allies a compromise solution which will set up centers that migrants will be processed in and indeed detained in for some time before being deported if that's what their fate will be when she has to persuade the social democrats to the center left in parliament that this is a good idea tough task given that a few years ago the social democrats rule that idea rather completely they say the social democrats say that there are many questions that need to be answered before they can agree to this compromise solution throw into the equation also the austrian government saying that it needs urgent clarification from the german government about what exactly this proposal if you read on will take and they say
4:17 pm
also that they're going to strengthen their borders to the south to the east specifically with this leniency and with the italians so what this means is that we have to dilemma or the german government trying to work out whether it can go ahead with this all the while the numbers we're talking about not that high nowhere near the sorts of numbers some of twenty fifteen yet still this issue will not go away. has been five years since egypt's first democratically elected president mohamed morsi was overthrown in a military coup the muslim brotherhood leader had been in office just a year when army chief general abdel fattah el-sisi seized power just rafa takes a look at what's happened since then. up till fertile sisi was minister of defense and commander in chief of egypt. forces when he led the military coup on july the third two thousand and thirteen. that overthrew egypt's first democratically elected government and. after months of protests demanding the newly elected
4:18 pm
president mohamed morsi step down sisi said the coup was necessary to prevent slipping into a dark tunnel of civil unrest sisi dissolved the two thousand and twelve egyptian constitution set up an interim government and cold for new elections. human rights groups say the coup represented the end of democracy in the important middle east ally for the u.s. and other countries the subsequent crackdown on morsi party the muslim brotherhood and its supporters was widespread and brutal security forces raided camps set up by morsy supporters in the capital on the fourteenth two thousand and thirteen. at least eight hundred people were killed in cairo and around four thousand injured cc's opponents. thousands of muslim brotherhood members and supporters were arrested the government offensive on opposition groups and the
4:19 pm
media has widened in the years since that they are the more they are. sisi was first elected president in two thousand and fourteen democracy international one of the main international observer groups monitoring voting said egypt's repressive political environment had made a genuine democratic presidential election in possible. inherited a troubled economy apparently needing aggressive reforms i list say things have improved since but egyptians have suffered the withdrawal of certain price subsidies and the devaluation of the egyptian pound against the us dollar workers also began on several major construction projects including dredging a new channel of the su is canal and the building of several new desert cities including a forty five billion dollar administrative capital east of cairo the battle against the sinai peninsula is a major security challenge sisi ordered
4:20 pm
a large scale military campaign in february after a mosque attack killed more than three hundred people human rights watch says up to four hundred twenty thousand people in four cities in the north of the sinai need urgent humanitarian aid because the military has heavily restricted access c.c. was reelected president for another four year term in march he has support from the us president donald trump and european allies. main challenger was arrested and his campaign manager beaten up in the run up to the poll or other presidential hopefuls withdrew their candidacies alleging intimidation and harassment. strafford. and joins us now from cairo. how has.
4:21 pm
well in a sense his presidency is a continuation of military rule that we saw began in one thousand sixty two. what's different of course depends what we're comparing to the obviously i was going to get lee curtailed any sort of freedom of speech freedom of assembly or political freedoms in the country since taking our has been massacred pression tens of thousands of people have been present. and many have been killed in the initial repression following the coup at the same time even compared to mubarak and his later years the government under sisi is much more repressive and what little freedoms existed under mubarak have been curtailed here as well. and every so often you still have activists from previous years being picked up arrested on various trumped up political charges and so the. environment is quite it's quite
4:22 pm
weak in terms of freedoms. and if we don't have in terms of the economy we've got the prime minister saying today that the pain grew by five point four percent in the last financial year that's quite healthy looking but how does that benefit of the people. so on the a comic front on the macro level there have been a lot of intervention the economy stabilized with the aggressor reforms have been undertaken and. the flirtation the pound has helped allow the government to loosen capital controls which still to its business. with respect to the population however egyptians have experienced historic levels of inflation a collapse in their purchasing power to do the devaluation the pounds that came with the float as well as the removal of several subsidies on various products particularly in the area of energy so tricity gas and fuel. so for most egyptians become a very challenging time and they haven't really experienced any benefit so far from
4:23 pm
the reforms it and it's important that there be more effort on the part of the government to redistribute the gains that have been made currently means tested cast transfers reach approximately ten million egyptians but there's nearly thirty million who are below the poverty line so there's still a lot of work that needs to be done so what are the what can be done to think what should the government be doing more of. well for one the the programs to counsel uncommon that offer means tested cast transfer so cash transfers the people who are about you waited to be in a state of poverty those need to be expanded so they've already exceeded their an initial goal of seven million people and reached but there's there's roughly twenty eight million egyptians below the poverty line kerman so they need to be covered the the trouble right now is that while reforms are happening in terms of assistance to the for the the austerity measures and the pain that they've
4:24 pm
inflicted on much of the population has been far superior and far more aggressive than. the counter measures undertaken by the state so that the government needs to develop a stronger set of data on who is in need and how they can help them and deliver those services flexibly it's possible health care still needs a lot of a lot of investment as well it's that it has increased in the budget this year as well as education egypt public education system as well or. there's supposed to be a plan that's coming into place to to to improve the educational system hopefully that will just begin to show results without in six years. ok to mco this many thanks for joining us that from cairo. thank you for having me. now the united nations is trying to focus want attention on the hanger refugee crisis and bangladesh u.n. sanction general and there are terrorists as they said cancer and more than
4:25 pm
a million range of muslims a sheltering after fleeing from violence in neighboring mandla or bank as nearly as announced a five hundred million dollars grant to help bangladesh provide the basics but conditions remain very poor comment on june has more from the camps in cox's bazaar for the un has been trying to highlight just how vulnerable the population of the refugees here in cox's bizarre bangladesh remains and where we are here in critical long can this really just highlights it highlights just how dangerous things are for the refugees it's monsoon season cyclons have not begun but look all around us this is what accumulated rainwater does these steep hills behind the steep muddy hills that most of them lacking vegetation well these huts are built on them when rain waters come means that this landscape is prone for natural disasters for landslides for flooding it's one of the reasons why people are so concerned and i spoke about that concern earlier with united nations high commissioner for refugees the legal grounding he talked about specifically the kind of trauma that the
4:26 pm
refugee population has already encountered i came here last time in september just after they had just the right the last group of seven hundred thousand and i found the camp in the deep trauma he wouldn't speak children would use my women with recount the most horrifying stories of rape and violence i must say that people are more confident now nine ten months of relative stability people are telling us at least you know we can sleep have given them a bit more confidence it is no less chilling. the stories that now we hear even more details are still very very frightening stories of abuse which means two things one is that we really need to. address it's just from. psychosocial interventions include at least the best the root causes of the find solutions back in their homes that have to be. fundamental for this is that the world bank has
4:27 pm
announced that they are going to get around five hundred million dollars to the government of bangladesh to assist to him to refugees but the aid workers that i've been speaking with well they say that that's really just a drop in the bucket that this crisis is going to continue to unfold that it is severely underfunded and that the population is going to need a lot more help. ok let's get you all the weather now and his staff with some unusual weather in south africa that's right new don't often see snow in these parts of the world let's have a look at the chosen because here is the area of cloud that brought us out rather chilly weather you see it just grazing the south coast there but also moving a little bit further inland as well and then things will go a bit graver that's just the satellite misinterpreting the cold weather as cloud when really it was just cold there wasn't a great deal of cloud to you think has now moved away though and that's what gave us our wintery weather so further inland that's where we saw all the worst of the snow all the best of the snow depending on how you see it cherry farm there in
4:28 pm
serres certainly saw an awful lot of wintry weather blanketed the whole region but we also saw a few flakes of snow in cape town itself on table mountain and that's really quite unusual because cape town is so far south as far south as rebuts is north if you see what i mean and the same latitude south if you turned the world upside down it will be the same latitude as morocco so very unusual to get snow quite so far there we normally see snow on table mountain maybe once again if you're very lucky but a few flurries were seen and it's all dried up now and it's a long distant memory sixteen degrees a maximum now now i also want to have a quick update on our typhoon and it is still a typhoon at the moment it's running its way and between south korea and japan running its way northward it's giving to wrench really heavy rain to both of these countries and is likely to give us a lot of problems with flooding in the next day or so. steph thank you now still ahead here on out there are. widespread flooding in kenya tens of thousands remain
4:29 pm
homeless. and refusing to budge months after an argentine submarine went missing relatives of crew members are waiting for. a basket brawl. this huge fight as a whole it's a national game for this. where were you when this idea popped into it whether online it's undoubtedly. cool. over to an inequality in society today or if you join a sunset criminal justice system is dysfunctional right now this is a dialogue what does it feel like to go back for the first time everyone has a voice of allow refugees to flee the speakers for change join the conversation on

nations has called on jordan to keep its borders open for food and water supplies to tens of thousands of displaced syrians about two hundred seventy thousand have been forced from their homes by the russian backed government offensive to recapture the southwest and province from rebels. control boys enough of boko is found alive in a thai cave from months of being supplied with food just the army to sides how to get them out the rules remain high the boys were found late monday by british divers after being trapped for nine days. malaysia's former prime minister najib razak has been arrested by anti corruption investigators he is being investigated over allegations he's told billions of dollars of state. let's get more now on the jeeps arrest and what it means for the future of the country son was a political secretary in the jeep's office from two thousand and nine to two thousand and eleven he joins us now from kuala lumpur malaysia thanks very much for being with us so the job is being held in. and from where our correspondent
4:32 pm
gave us a live just a little earlier in the background we heard a small number of the jeep supporters chanting outside where he was being held how much support does the former prime minister still have. well i think over the past two months or so since the malaysian election where by now jim result was sort of forced out of office i think he's supporters his number of supporters is indeed dwindling i think they are likely to stay you cramer for him saying for example the presumption of innocence until proven guilty should still hold in malaysia namely former british colony which to practice the british common law system biting this sort of sort of call for him to be released and so on is very hard to come by nowadays when you were working for the g.
4:33 pm
during that time when you that doesn't one thousand and eleven was there any evidence of any of this sort of behavior but at home i knew off because i was somebody who was very technical toward unquote namely he likes to read a lot of graphs a lot of charts to see how the country's economy was growing and so on but of cause as the ele geisha now come out. apparently another side to it but unfortunately i well fortunately i was not privy to that side of his dealings yeah i would say definitely fortunately right now is how do you think billions could have been siphoned off a state fund was it really that easy. what you see in malaysia in political system we had sort of a one party rule for more than half
4:34 pm
a century so for example the civil service was very much caught by the government of the day which was a ruling government for well half a century so very often even you adopts about certain dealings at the highest level very often the civil servants those who work for the government telling companies they would turn a blind eye to that because you expect that the government will continue for a long time and if your wife you become sort of the sole blower at the end of the day you may be getting into trouble so a lot of people just keep their mouths shut ok i have estimations being reopened to mohammed now prime minister and other not of people now know of a simpler school cycles well i think primarily those who ever valued themselves of some of those shall we say abuse or misuse or
4:35 pm
misappropriate the farms years. various sort of for example xers spread sheets or going around on the internet. which are sort of detail which person saw going ization which receive some of those funds and allegedly originated from one end d.b. i think those whose whose names appear on those x.l. work sheets would warre a little bit you know see in the end of that of course is the man who brought in a dream to power in the first place how the malaysians feel about him now being the man to bring the g down. well of course it's a bit ironic that is dr mark two who is now ruling the prime minister who is sort of going forward with this investigation because of course doctor to many years ago many claim he was indeed the instigator for money politics but i think at
4:36 pm
least one thing you have to go for him namely he saw when we have the role i mean he sort of sort of piggyback on the popular distaste or distend for all this. misuse of power and he wrote to a victory indeed on those sort of the stand he's on very interesting indeed to speak to you and get your views there from kuala lumpur thanks very much. philippine mayor has been shot dead in a town north of the capital manila in the second killing of its kind in today's birthday was targeted by gunmen on motorbikes in one city police say they're investigating the murder on monday mayor antonio holly was shot whilst attending a flag raising ceremony south of manila present we're going to turn to accuse me of being an illegal drug kingpin. iran is commemorating the thirtieth anniversary

4:38 pm
the promises that we make is the basis of confidence and trust among nations we are committed to the promises we made in terms of nonproliferation and we will continue work cooperation with international organizations including the i.a.e.a. iran is looking to have just legal peaceful and stable relations with the world our white house correspondent kimberly arquette is live for us in washington d.c. he was the u.s. response likely to be willing sees rouhani in europe trying to salvage the nuclear deal. well the stated goal of the administration since donald trump pulled out of that agreement on may eighth is to find a better agreement to push iran towards a new deal one that the united states believes needs to address two things primarily not just the nuclear program but also what the u.s. has repeatedly said is iran's destabilizing behavior in the broader middle east and so that is still the goal hearing from the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei on monday certainly there was and he's always been
4:39 pm
very hardline on iran maintain that the united states continues with those crushing sanctions that are snapping back into place the goal is to try and put maximum pressure economically on iran and citing that this tactic is working given the fact that there have been recent protests that the united states has pointed out on the concerns about the currency crisis as well as other economic difficulties so this is really the feeling of the united states that well there is this position by iran of trying to work within the existing agreement the united states stance is that there needs to be a new agreement in place and how much support is there for the songs in the u.s. . well there seems to be a little bit of division there certainly are two camps that appear to be forming within the trumpet ministration there certainly is the position of mike pompei o but there is also the division between the u.s.
4:40 pm
secretary of state and the national security advisor or rather sorry the u.s. secretary of defense james mattis and the national security advisor john bolton john bolton is known as being very hardline has maintained privately in some discussions we are told sort of positioning that the united states should be looking for regime change and that there is an opportunity because of the recent protests but we're hearing that the u.s. secretary of defense is being somewhat more cautious see that this could put u.s. allies in the region at risk and also potentially destabilize the world economy ok kimberly how many thanks for the latest from washington d.c. now a show of support in the u.s. state of idaho ofter a three year old a refugee stopped to death in their policy at least fifteen hundred people gathered for a vigil in boise to on of the refugee families targeted in the deadly stopping five of the children was stopped of three adults were injured most trying to protect them police have charged to me kenna with murder and battery has recently been
