economic world we live in counting the cost on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes warnings of a crisis as jordan and israel refused to open borders to refugees fleeing a government offensive in southern syria. the un's human rights office accuses the u.a.e. of the torture and sexual abuse of yemeni prisoners. malaysia's former prime minister national brands i guess to appear in court in the coming hours over corruption allegations. and in sports in england to make their own world cup history as they

progress to the quarterfinals where sweden lie in wait. concerns growing over the human cost of the syrian government's offensive against rebels in the southern province of dead three hundred and thirty thousand people have been forced from their homes since the assault began two weeks ago many are flocking to syria's border with jordan but once they get there there's nowhere to go jordan is refusing to open its border despite a plea from the u.n. jordan argues that it's already hosting some six hundred seventy thousand refugees and its fragile economy constipated anymore it is however supplying aid and trying to broker a cease fire in the u.s. it says it's discussed a ceasefire with the russians who are backing the government offensive. and now as we watch the situation there we have extreme concerns about the situation there are

ongoing airstrikes some humanitarian aid had been stopped we understand that soon the humanitarian aid may be getting back in again at least for now but it's certainly not a safe situation so we're continuing to have talks with the russians we're continuing to have talks with the jordanians and express our extreme concern about the situation there the u.n. has called the violence a looming catastrophe and the security council is going to hold an emergency meeting on thursday has more from beirut in neighboring lebanon jordan israel both left in their towns are battlegrounds these people are trapped in the syrian government's offensive and that our province now into its third week has displaced more than a quarter of a million people according to the united nations some are living in makeshift tents many others out in the open they have little food water or medicine or protection from the heat there is a humanitarian crisis and the united nations is calling on jordan and neighboring

countries to open their borders to allow refugees in we recognize that jordan lebanon and turkey have long hosted a large number of refugees particularly from syria since the beginning of the syrian conflict it's been heartening to see many people in these countries doing what they can. to call on their governments to keep the border open and to gather food and water for syrian refugees. we call on the jordanian government keep its schools and open for other countries in the region to step up and receive the fleeing civilians jordan's leaders say they can't cope with more refugees instead they say aid is being delivered to them across the border in syria and they say it's up to the u.n. to obtain approval from government leaders in time ask us to allow in supplies to reach our province jordan's foreign minister says the focus should be on preventing more devastation i'll be meeting with the russian foreign minister lover of for

a discussion on how we can work towards a cease fire and create conditions of the ground under which people would feel safe and also discuss the facilitation of the provision of supplies to syria and their country on their land indeed our syrian government troops are advancing with the help of russian airstrikes troops have seized towns and villages under rebel control and through so-called reconciliation deals that involve a return of president bashar assad's rule sixty percent of data is now under government control and the offensive is continuing to pressure the remaining rebel held areas to surrender. russia has been negotiating on behalf of the syrian government with rebel factions the opposition says russia is only offering one option they're describing it as a humiliating demand to surrender it involves rebels handing over their weapons and accepting state control opposition activists have told us russia is not offering them the possibility to move to the rebel controlled province of. several rebel

commanders fighters an opposition leaders are refusing to reconcile with the state they live under are said to rule. they also refused to stay without international security guarantees rebels are hoping for a deal that would make jordan a guarantee of the safety of the civilians negotiations are difficult set of what they're else is into beirut. many of the syrians having to jordan's border are seriously wounded jordan's army has set up a medical center to treat the sick and injured some are being transferred to government hospitals in jordan bernard smith has more from the jobber crossing on the jordan syria border. some aid has been getting through this crossing point between jordan and syria and just on the other side of the fence here we believe there are at least twenty five thousand syrian refugees syrians fleeing the fighting in and around. three separate times have been set up for men women and

children there on the syrian side of the jordanian mira military says it's treated hundreds of casualties people injured by the bombardment people escaping the bombardment but the jordanian military say that as soon as those people have been treated that being sent back over to the syrian side so the most seriously injured have been sent to hospitals in amman the jordanian capital but again as soon as they're treated they're being sent back again into syria. we received people of all ages from young children to old people and we've treated all of them we've had pregnant women people suffering from burned hundreds of casualties. the jordanian government like the israeli government also is sticking to their decision not to allow any more syrian refugees in the jordanians say they've got six hundred fifty thousand syrians here already they can't cope with any more they can't afford to take any more ends up at the moment that border stays closed but the number of

refugees arriving here keeps getting higher and higher or for more on this we're joined by sky by a best man woman in waterloo canada she's a professor at the university of waterloo thank you very much indeed for your time isn't it reasonable for countries which believe that they can't cope with another influx of refugees to close their borders. well i think it's understandable you know keep in mind here even in jordan we've seen an enormous social media campaign by joining us many of which feel very strong kinship science into the sound of ground and our cousins that have been intermarrying for years so there's a great you know social and cultural sympathy for but the reality is when you have written to cross in the border it requires an enormous amount of finances infrastructure and myth and order simply not provide it's in this situation like this for many years and it's national funding has dried up and the greening

government doesn't exist in a position where it is understandably trying to figure out another way other than just open borders and. why does it seem so important to the refugees to cross the border into another country when they are receiving to some degree aid on various side of the border. look at all about safety you know to the day refugees don't want to leave their homes they don't want to leave their country they just want to be cared for and know that they're safe and guaranteeing safety should be our prime concern and that's why something like this safe so the humanitarian zone even bringing in united nations to sort of patrol that is important and i would point out here that you know it's going to be a siren he interests the populations it's not the sense that i have nothing to people who are in opposition to them so i think we should not many ways feed the beast of the assad regime by anyone who does basically open doors and then can i say done now basically remove their property rights remove their right of her and

basically made a threat accompli on the ground and say that you're no has control over it and we need to ensure that the musicians are safe for their future but also not to be assad desired to be popularly since yes there is a strong argument for trying to as you say to create safe zones and so on but that i itself was covered by the twenty seven thousand deescalation agreement yet that didn't work and not many people are going to have many much faith in the creation of safe zone zones or protection zones for anybody at the moment. i agree and that's why i think the united nations needs to step in one needs to have this security council resolution to shame the russians that's the end the day they are the enablers of the assad regime and making sure that there is a de population strategy that is what they have finally frankly been excellent at which is figuring out how to terrorize the population on the ground and the russians need to understand that will not be absorbed by everybody else that's

where it's it's the patron of this regime the assad regime and they're going to pay the price of ensuring that those citizens have a right to return. to the think it's absolutely the right thing to do this is no way you know absolved and it's nothing new from protecting them from caring for the refugees but. we appear to have lost our signal there to waterloo in canada however we will move on malaysia's former prime minister is expected to be charged in coming hours over the disappearance of billions of dollars from the state fund when he was in power now he brought his due to appear in court after being arrested by anti corruption investigators phones louis as the details. this is where former prime minister najib razak will be spending the night at the headquarters of the anti corruption agency before he is charged in court on wednesday and he corruption agents questioned one chip it made

in connection with ten million dollars allegedly deposited into his personal bank account from a state company known as s r c international which was part of the state's investment fund one being the seizure of designer handbags and millions of dollars in cash from its homes was part of a wider investigation into stealing from one and. the fund was started by not just soon after he became prime minister in two thousand and nine not given his associates are alleged to have been bezel for one hard billion dollars from one n.d.p. not just has repeatedly denied committing any crime describing the investigation as a political witch hunt hours after his arrest a pre recorded video message was posted on his social media accounts it appeared to have been prepared in an to spatial of his arrest the one n.d.p. scandal is seen as partly to blame for his party's defeat in the general election in may on seating

a political alliance that has ruled malaysia since independence sixty one years ago news of not just arrest has been greeted with delight by some finally like it's the malaysian house finally and we get that right john young so much for about a corrupt government that uses bribes nepotism and cronyism nobbut the leaders have finally been caught it is an achievement these leaders must be brought to justice and be charged for their wrongdoing. a small group of not just supporters turned up outside the anticorruption headquarters to protest this innocence and demand his release they believe not just assertions that the money in his bank account was a donation despite not just arrest the investigation into one and d.b. continues his. mahathir mohamad has said police have an almost perfect case against life anticorruption officers have questioned stepson. is the let's just spend some of the misappropriated one. could use

a hollywood film more arrests could take place florence al jazeera puts it. at least eleven people have been killed in an airstrike on a wedding in yemen's northern province the saudi a morality coalition bombed the town of call for the casualties were mostly women and children the un has verified that two thousand two hundred children have been killed and more than three thousand have been injured since the conflict began more than three years ago the u.n. says a number of yemeni prisoners have been tortured and sexually abused by soldiers from the united arab emirates it comes after witnesses provided the associated press news agency with the drawings smuggled out of amorality run prisoners in prisons in yemen last month the pictures describe a system of sexual torture and abuse the u.n. says it's requested access to the prisons but it's not yet been allowed in ok let's bring in yemen analyst ibrahim could be in new york city thanks very much for being

with us given the fact that the bulk of the evidence appears to be thanks to the drawings that the prisoners have put forward and the u.n. investigators can't get into the prisons how confident can we be do you think in the evidence that the prisoners are putting forward. you know the torture by the us united arab emirates forces in yemen and their kidnapping of detainees and sexual abuse has been well documented by a number of international human rights organizations as well as the associated press so this. there is strong evidence and clear evidence that the u.a.e. has been committed crimes against yemenis run in secret detention kidnapping people and people who you know post their policies in yemen and bringing them to secret detention torture and them sexually abusing them committing all kind of violence against yemenis and so this is this is the time to end that kind of program not

only that i think there is an obligation right now toward the yemeni government there is a moral legal and ethical obligation application that the yemeni government should and the brazilians of the united arab emirates and yemen given the these kind of crimes a lot of violations that committed by these forces in yemen so it is time to end their brothers and yemen who is the center position to be able to put pressure on the yemeni government to government and the u.a.e. in order to stop these practices if they are going ahead. i think the yemeni government needs to do its job i think the yemeni people the international community the u.n. security council needs to carry out its obligations but i think for the most part it's the yemeni government that allowed the united arab. emirates security forces to be and yemen so they will need to with all that authorisation they gave them i

think it is time for the yemeni government to call to call on the allow the u.s. the u.n. human rights council to create and then committee to investigate all these crimes and to hold those who committed these crimes accountable so there are a number of people that need to play their part here one the international community the international media and to national human rights groups and the security council and those governments that actually believe and human rights and hold in those criminals accountable so it is time like i said to end this program and it is time to hold. you know the. coalition not only they not only they committed crimes in secret detention but also laid in yemeni that airports as you know the united arab emirates this is of course if you haven't. my apologies for interrupting you but there is an important point here that i'd like to bring in the problems of accountability the u.a.e.

has denied that it runs prisons in yemen it says that the yemeni government is in full control but as i understand yemen's own interior minister says he has no control over the prisons when it comes to accountability what is the likelihood that anybody is actually going to be held any individuals are actually going to be held accountable and therefore prosecuted for these events if they're proven to have taken place. as you said that you mentioned the minister himself was detained of the airport and wasn't allowed to actually leave yemen government officials so what do we what do we need right now is the pressure to continue not to give up at the end of the day we know the yemeni people would prevail we know that human rights will you know will have just at the end of the day so it is a matter of continue to pressure the u.a.e. forces they not welcomed in yemen given that they only interested in their own agenda occupying seaports airports torture and yemenis creating militias that end

their mind in the yemeni government that the u.a.e. and the saudi arabia claim they came to help to restore its legitimacy but on the other hand they actually created a militia that endor mine the yemeni government so there are a number of parts here like i said the yemeni government needs to stand by the people it has a legal and moral obligation towards their own people otherwise what kind of legitimacy they would have if they don't understand by their own people have been going to that torture program and the m. and if they don't shut down the tensions in yemen if they don't call in the end if the u.a.e. security forces present any emon because i apologize for causing it all from unfortunately time is against us because obviously you know practical on this thank you very much for your time. but he more ahead on the news hour including mexico's past and future presidents meet we'll tell you what they talked about. the moment a second political leaders shot dead in the philippines in two days. and in sports

rafael nadal continues his quest for the third wimbledon title tachyon is going to have those details coming up. heavy rains a full cost in northern thailand in the coming days which could hamper the rescue of a young football team from a flooded cave plans being worked out to extract the thirteen strong group who are trapped several kilometers below ground scott hyla is at the site. at first glance the crowded in busy center for the rescue effort looks like it has for more than a week the good news that the boys were found by two british divers on monday night means only half of the job here is done with. her.

that second half of the job will be very difficult getting them all out safely but family members are already thinking of what they'll do once they are out when he won't see joan heard the good news all she wanted to do was hug her nephew. oh my i hope all of them come out safely no skinny my nephew everyone who's stuck in the cave divers and doctors are now going back and forth to the boys on the football coach who found refuge on a ledge when the cave flooded following terentia rain the divers are checking on their health and taking them food and water they're said to be in good health with only slight injuries but there may see that the group is four hundred metres further into the cave system than the so-called potty a beach section where rescuers originally thought they might be getting them out isn't expected to be easy reaching them requires a technically difficult and dangerous dive through narrow passages and low

visibility and the trapped teenagers will have to be quickly trained to use scuba equipment so they can swim out a day after the boys and their coats were found all eyes are focused here and that's for two reasons this is where the dive teams are headquartered but also this is most likely where the thirteen will exit the cave and be loaded into ambulances when they will see daylight for the first time is difficult to predict rescue teams are pumping water out of the cave and continue their search for another escape route because of the difficult conditions for rescuers both in and outside the cave like the search operation the rescue is expected to be slow going scott al-jazeera chiang rai and wayne hay has more from the scene in chung right. so far there is no indication that the procedure to try to bring the thirteen people out of the cave has begun the local administration here in chiang rai province that is leading this operation is saying that it wants to stop that procedure as soon as possible it's

saying that could mean immediately that could be in a week it could be a month but they cannot commit to a particular time frame because it is such a changeable situation and there are a few reasons for that they want to guarantee that it is as safe as possible before they stop their procedure of bringing them out they want to make sure that the thirteen the boys and their football coach are as healthy as possible and as strong as possible to begin what will be a very long possibly slow and certainly dangerous trip out of the cave to try to build up their strength there navy personnel in there with them around the clock also medical staff giving them some basic food supplies giving them other medical attention but so far all indications are from those rescue personnel who are with the thirteen at the moment they seem to be in amazingly good health and good spirits considering the ordeal that they have been through and the ordeal they

continue to go through gary mitchell from the british cave rescue council explain why getting the boys and their coach out will be so difficult. it's a kilometer thing if you assume these guys have no diving experience it's a little bit underground nine days they'll be slightly weaker than you would have. a lengthy process like them out so they may start them out in small batches small into the chambers of the pockets. and do that over a stock. obviously the biggest risk really is. if it keeps raining or to rain water level stops rise and there's the immediate see the quiet weather a significant. and we now know that we're sort of into the monsoon season. the water levels rise quite quickly they do. a painting as well but with the rising

water levels are on. a ship and so it could be a drawn out process. mexico's president elect has met the man from whom he'll take over and the ricky pena nieto to discuss his transition to office in december and they are smuggled out of the old one a landslide victory in sunday's election he says he'll hold a referendum halfway through his time in three years time to let voters decide if he should stay in power john holeman has more from mexico city. this was really a symbol of a sea change in mix kampala ticks at the current mexican president riek opinion yet from the governing pre party meeting president elect lopez obrador now the pre party has really been seen as a central column of mexican governance for almost one hundred years now president elect lopez obrador a leftist populist party is only four years old it's really been formed around him

it's called marina so minutes past and its future at least for the next six years coming into contact what did they talk about one of the issues was nothing the free trade alliance that links mexico the united states and canada it's being renegotiated at the moment on the insistence of president trump of the united states lopez obrador has indicated that he wants mexico to stay in that part but only if it's for the benefit of the country also understood scotian was a new airport for the capital of the country that's costing thirteen billion dollars it's currently under construction and lopez obrador had indicated previously that he would scrap that plan so some things to be resolved there the new president elect was careful in a press conference that he gave alone after the meeting to try and reassure the markets a lot of the markets and business leaders as well in the country who are worried about this left this leader coming to coming into power he said they would respect

the autonomy of mexico's central bank so he has a lot of other. he also has to deal with record levels of violence in the country fifty three million mexicans under the poverty line and also widespread corruption he now has a five month transition period to start coming up with solutions to those problems before he's sworn in. a second mayor's been shot and killed in the philippines in two days security camera footage shows the moment of the attack on tuesday gunman approached ferdinand both his vehicle while he was leaving a government office in the way of a province they shot boise repeatedly before fleeing the scene. on monday and tony a highly was shot and killed at a flag raising ceremony in town one city a previously that a controversial walk of shame campaign for suspected drug dealers were paraded

around the streets sun or tree is director of the drug policy project at the institute for policy studies he says the territories drug position is similar to the actions of a despot. a lot of people are getting killed there is no justice for these people and president has said just recently that families can expect no justice from him if they were even suspected of being involved the drug trade so this is an open season on what's going on in the philippines it seems to me it's much more of a program like in nineteenth century russia and eastern europe less than a month rather than a modern drug war this is really about taking a cornucopia of social ills many of which are structural in nature and pinning it on to one little demographic group and saying look if we just get rid of these people just eliminate them things we want and roses again and we see a lot of autocrats and despots around the world use those kinds of tactics to further their own political power we've seen that in the united states for instance

with president trump going after him as thirteen the mexican gang hitler did it to jews it's about scapegoating a minority group for a whole basket of social ills still ahead on al-jazeera libya denies allegations its coast guard is threatening rescue ships as more bodies of migrants and refugees are pulled from the water. protests across poland against a controversial new laws that could dramatically change the makeup of the supreme court. and find out why sweden are celebrating like it's one thousand nine hundred four all over again. hello the fires are still burning away in the northern parts of california they're actually about one hundred twenty kilometers to the north of san francisco but in

san francisco we're seeing ash deposited on the clouds and the air quality really isn't good either these pictures obviously also the fire showing people trying to constrain it but unfortunately there's going to be no help from the weather it's going to stay dry here else whether there has been a bit of wet weather this cluster of thunderstorms in the northern part of our map has been giving us some lively downpours and very large hail as well is still with us as we head through wednesday gradually pulling away towards the northeast as we head into thursday you see it trails further south and behind that it's a bit cooler than elsewhere for the southeast it's certainly rather warm we've also got some wet weather across parts of texas across the south coast there that's making its way towards the border with mexico as we head into thursday a bit further towards the south and we've got sunshine and showers here but the showers of all banded together for some of us here particular have a pulse of costa rica and this is still is pushing its way northward as we head into wednesday so for some of us here it's going to be pretty wet that will eventually begin to break up on thursday and into friday though if we had down

towards south america it's pretty cold for us at the moment only teddyboy it is already and there's some rain for santiago. in an exclusive documentary series al-jazeera reveals the full story of a war that changed the face of the middle east this is not a war to defeat israel this is a war open the way for the films the final episode of a three part series explores the impending threats of two global superpowers i don't cover why the out israeli conflict continues to this day the war in october the battle and beyond at this time on al-jazeera. this is a story about a small village the society that inhabits it and two of its most important characters the villages and telephone and it's an electric secret. discovering new

film making talent from around the globe to find a latin america delves into this cuban microcosm it's only in line for the outside world people calling on al-jazeera. they're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour concerns growing over the human cost of the syrian government's offensive against rebels in the southern province of the three hundred and thirteen thousand people have fled their homes since this all started on june nineteenth jordan's refusing to let the men despite a un cle. malaysia's former prime minister is expected to be charged in coming

hours over the disappearance of billions of dollars from the state fund while he was in power. is due to appear in court after being arrested by anti corruption investigators. the u.n. says a number of yemeni prison. as have been tortured and sexually abused by soldiers from the united arab emirates it comes after witnesses provided the associated press news agency with drawings smuggled out of em iraqi run prisons in yemen last month they describe threats and beatings. the son of isolated i'll go back at all but daddy has rebel reportedly been killed in the syrian city of homs a statement by the armed groups says. three was killed in an operation against russian backed syrian government forces the international red cross has warned the humanitarian help alone will not solve the hinge or refugee crisis it says political solutions and needed to help hundreds of thousands of people who fled

from myanmar to bangladesh mohammad jump in reports from cox's bazar where senior u.n. officials have been meeting refugees. the un has been trying to highlight just how vulnerable the population of or hinder 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 they're hit the 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 people wouldn't speak children would nice 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 he's 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 trauma with psychosocial interventions into that we need to address the root causes of these big through and find solutions back in their homes that have to be. fundamental for these people to go back to the world bank has announced that they are going to give around five hundred million dollars to the government of bangladesh to assist through 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 there are hints of population is going to need a lot more help. the president of the european commission has asked lawyers to examine the migration deal germany's chancellor angela merkel has struck with a broad varian coalition partners agreement who would set up so-called transit camps along germany's border with austria this is where refugees will be screened to see if they've already applied for asylum elsewhere in the e.u. if they have they'll be deported back to the e.u. country they first registered in but that member state would have to agree and austria has already signaled its opposition so far this year about eighteen thousand refugees and migrants have already claimed asylum in another country in. maggie has been meeting her center left coalition partner the social democrats to see if they'll accept the migration deal s.p.d. rejected the idea of transit camps and twenty fifteen and they voiced skepticism

about the new agreement dominic king has the latest from berlin. the route of a migration is the crisis that just won't go away frank and america will soon and she agreed a 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 and completely they say the social democrats say that's there are many questions that need to be answered before we 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 a few agreed on will take and they say also that they are going to strengthen their borders to the south to the east specifically with the slovenians and with the

italians so what this means is that we have the dilemma of the german government trying to work out whether it can go ahead with this all the while the numbers we're talking about and not that high nowhere near the sorts of numbers some of twenty fifteen yet still this issue will not go away there have been protests across poland against a controversial new laws that could dramatically change the makeup of the supreme court. oh yeah i. thousands of demonstrated in front of the court building against reforms that could see forty percent of judges forced into early retirement it's just to take effect on wednesday almost top judges refusing to step down from our post david chaytor has more from the rally in warsaw . forty percent of the justices in the supremes court will lose their jobs at the stroke of midnight it's been described by the chief justice who's

president of the supreme court chief justice goes off as a political courage essentially she says her turn should be guaranteed under the constitution until the twenty twenty and it's the law and justice party by bringing in this new legislation for breaking the most fundamental laws and that's the law of the constitution now the government itself says that what they're trying to do is bring a new sense or contact between the ordinary people are permanent and what they've called a self-serving elite inside the supreme court they've also said that the reforms that they started after the fall of the communist regime in nice neat and i have not gone far enough it will probably i think it's. very early and they're determined to push through these measures of course russell is of the european commission to say that what is poland essentially doing is breaking one of the founding tenets of the constitution of the european union which says

there must be a separation of powers and the to the judicial system must be independent of the way this right before it got. really. really got me then it got and that is what the european commission wants to stop and that's why they're taking it taking poland essentially on a legal process that might mean they end up in the dock at the european court of justice the captain of the german humanitarian ship lifelines says the libyan coast guard had threatened to kill him and his crew the rescue ship was detained last week when it docked in malta with two hundred thirty four refugees on board after italy refused to offer it a safe port. the libyan coast guard has threatened us and the crew and especially me with murder there is a radio message of the libyan coast guard while the ship was sailing close to us

saying kill you and that makes me wonder about the organization the europeans were with ones that threaten european citizens with murder for saving lawyers words fail me. libby is denying those claims margaret has more from tripoli. asylum seekers usually leave libya ensures just a few kilometers from where i'm standing now and they usually take a rubber boats. which are in very bad conditions and. are usually overloaded with migrants and in many cases getting is a rubber boats sink in the mediterranean and many migrants die including women and children that have been two major sinkings the last week and libya's coast guard says around one hundred seventy migrants are missing and that includes women and children and concerning the allegations by the energy operating in the

mediterranean which accuse libya's coast guard of threatening the migrants at the spokesman of libya's navy cross him strongly denies all those allegations and instead he accuses the n.g.o.s operating in the mediterranean of helping people smugglers. also added that libya's navy gives only with governments with governments of the european union he added that they they they had only five boats and they needed maintenance and despite despite the fact that libya's coast guard has been receiving aid but libya's coast guard is still short of medical equipment and life lifesaving gear. well the knuckleball has a spokesman for sea watch it carries out search and rescue operations in the mediterranean and he says the libyan coast guard isn't properly trained or equipped to deal with rescues i have never seen

a single life check it on the boats of the libyan coast guard and this comes as their priority seems to be not saving lives but to return people to libya where they face unlawful detention and torture at the libyan coast guard is paid off by the european union to do the dirty work for them and that's what they are actually doing quite well they bring back the people and they force them back to libya but they are not that good in actual rescue operations we face it several times already that libyan coast guards just run into rescue operations by proper equipped and well trained nongovernmental rescue organizations and that they cause a lot of chaos because their priority is to bring back the people and not not to save human lives but we also have to see that they are doing this and to to you have to europeans. this is really government has been given the go ahead to deduct
