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 malaysia's former prime minister najib razak is formally charged with corruption we'll be live in kuala lumpur. a new video shows thai boys trapped in a flooded cave good health but there's no clarity on how they'll be rescued. warnings of a catastrophe has jordan and israel refused to open borders to refugees fleeing a government offensive in southern syria. and in sports the england make their own world cup history as they progressed to the quarterfinals where sweden lie in wait

. while asia's former prime minister has been charged with corruption over the disappearance of billions of dollars from the state fund while he was in power now zebra zach is facing three counts of criminal breach of trust and using his position for gains it was arrested by anti corruption investigators on tuesday now says the legal action against him is politically motivated well phones lou is joining us now live from kuala lumpur florence just give us some more detail if you can on the charges he's facing. while he's been charged with three crown counts of criminal breach of trust each involving different amounts of money and each taking place between the months of december two thousand and fourteen and february two thousand and fifteen to really just a short amount of. i'm the first charge amounts to about twenty seven million

that's roughly about i think about six million u.s. dollars and then the other months altogether making up ten million dollars he's also been charged with corruption under the anti corruption act where he's said to have used his position as finance minister and prime minister off the country to enrich himself really of forty two million or ten million dollars now this is money that was that is alleged to have been deposited into his personal bank account between two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and fifteen it's money that came from international a company that was formerly a subsidiary of one that's the scandal ridden investment fund. and his associates alleged to have stolen at least four and a half billion dollars from. the legal process. so he's just been charged with these counts as i mentioned

a criminal breach of trust and corruption now and he the case is now and then going to be moved to the high court we expect him to expect his lawyers to ask for bail it is very likely that bail will be granted has already been barred from leaving the country so he's not a flight risk and then the then really it's up to the prosecution who will have to prove because these are because the the hounds of criminal breach of trust that comes under the penal code they will have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he committed these crimes and then if the judge finds that there is a case to answer not just lawyers will have to call for the will have to present a case to defend him now we've heard say we've had interviews these last few weeks protesting his innocence it's something that he's maintained all this while as you mentioned he says that these charges against him the investigation against him these are all politically motivated by the new government that took over after the

general election on the ninth of may and he's always said that the money in his bank account up to two point six billion ringgit found in his bank account was a donation from the from the saudi royal family forms for us in kuala lumpur thank you very much and the. new video has been released showing a time football team in good health despite their eleven day ordeal below ground food and medical supplies have reached the twelve boys their coach they haven't eaten since entering the cave on june the twenty third it's not yet known how they're going to be brought out and heavy rains are expected to hamper rescue efforts let's course live to scott hard live for the latest on the rescue operation . and those heavy rains scott i'm guessing our focus for everybody involved in this rescue at the moment. absolutely rob that is the deadline if you will that's hanging over everyone's head here now the operations continue no we walk up this

hill this is where the cave entrance is the main cave entrance and the pumping is still going on like we've seen the last several days running several mornings running that is continuing that obviously is critical because they want to get the water level as low as possible so those boys in their coats can be brought out of the caves the flooded caves right now they're really working on bringing that level down it hasn't started raining yet today but again as you mention heavy rains are expected this is monsoon season so it's around the corner that more rains will be coming to the trying to get as much make as much progress as possible now some other developments today that we're hearing here at the central command for the rescue operation and that is that they're going to be testing a communication line all the way to the boys you know we know that they've been kind of leapfrogging communication lines for the divers coordinating the divers efforts into that cave we know now that they're getting close to stringing up either it is already strong and they're just testing the line all the way to the area where those boys are again that's about four hundred meters beyond the

a beach area inside this cave system that's named after famous beach here in thailand so that probably will be happening later on today obviously you know it's not directly going to get them out any quicker but it's going to make things a lot easier for the parents here who've been waiting now for eleven days so that's something that we're looking at over the next couple of hours hopefully testing out that mine and making contact with the boys in the cave it's called we saw the euphoria of the many of the parents when they had the boys was safe and of course as you were describing this process this rescue process is going to take a lot longer than anybody whole time with the parents dealing with this now. it's very difficult for the parents and obviously once they're able if they're able to speak directly with their children that's going to be a huge huge benefit for them benefit for their morale you know one thing that we need to focus on to now is yes that you know there have been many many different deadlines going to thrown about out there of how long this process is going to take initially they said that they were stockpiling months worth of supplies and try to ferry that goes into the boy's area and their coach but then now we're hearing that

because of the rains coming they're trying to step up that timeline now does that mean does that mean that there's physical evidence physical progress that makes them feel as though they're going to be able to get them out quicker we just really don't know but right now it is focused on trying to get these boys scuba equipment and scuba training because some of those sections of the tunnel the cave i should say that they had to come through to make their way out here is completely flooded so they'll be under water so they're trying to get special masks to the boys will fit their faces that is not like a regulator system with normal scuba equipment it's a full face mask so they don't have to be trained on using a regulator to breathe that they can have this mask on and come out stream the dangerous very tight passages a very technical dive very dangerous dive so that plan is risky but right now feels it seems as though that is the most probable plan because the water level is probably not going to come down enough before these rains come in to get them out to be able to for them to be able to walk through the section so most likely will

have to use some type of scuba equipment or sections of it for them to get out of a cave it's gone for now thanks very much indeed i want to bring in calvin ball he's the science director of the cave divers association of australia and he's joining us now from horsham in victoria we appreciate your time so thank you very much scott has been detaining some of the difficulties that are facing both the rescuers and the boys will face in coming through the cave from your point of view where do you see the biggest risks in this rescue. oh it just just can't you know it too. well and see it actually getting. here and getting it that. it's. trying little kids. as a cave diver yourself how would you try to encourage somebody who has never done this kind of thing before to make to feel secure enough to be able to put a mask over their face and go through what one would assume is going to be very

marquis water these boys are going to be very frightened out and they are how you going to deal with that personally i would know the answer that question. it's going to be it's going to take a lot of. boys and a lot of coaching the people. in the rescue and wish you all the best you know one of the issues again and scott was mentioning of course is we got this on the side of the heavy rains now initially they had been hoping that it was going to be could be planning that the boys were going to be down there for months in order to be able to to get them used to the idea do some training but is there an increase in risk because the rains are coming in that things are going to be rushed and is there a danger to the boys might face in coming through the the tunnel. any increase that would. would increase the risk is how do you want kind of

equipment the boys expected to be used what do you think that would be most appropriate for the boys to be using under these circumstances to be honest with you i have not had any experience with. reagan and i'm out pretty made a comment on that but it will have to be trying to. govern ball we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed. concerns growing over the human cost of the syrian government's offensive against rebels in the southern province of the three hundred 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 and seventy thousand

refugees and its fragile economy constipated anymore it is however supplying aid and trying to broker a ceasefire in that are now the u.s. has said it's discussing a cease fire 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 but the u.n. has called the violence a looming catastrophe and the security council will hold an emergency meeting on thursday has more from beirut in lebanon. jordan israel. and 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 the syrian refugees. we call on the jordanian government to keep its borders open and 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 into masochists 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 a 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 a discuss the facilitation of their 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 daraa 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 idlib. several rebel commanders fighters and opposition leaders are refusing to reconcile with the state they live under assad's 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. beirut for 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 but on and smith has more from his about 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 towns 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 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 anymore they can't afford to take anymore ends up at the moment that border stays closed but the number of refugees arriving here keeps getting higher and higher ok let's bring in hardin lying in washington d.c. he's the vice president for programs and policy at refugees international he's also served as a u.n. peacekeeper in field missions throughout lebanon jordan and turkey thank you very much indeed for joining us on al-jazeera isn't it reasonable do you think for countries whose. infrastructure is suffering if they take in too many refugees to close their borders and say they simply can't take anymore. look i mean it's extremely tall order for jordan which is already hosting you know over six hundred thousand refugees to take in more at this stage and keep in mind they've also just

had popular protests in the last couple of weeks some of the largest that we've seen in years. protesting the economic situations inside of jordan but that said jordan has an obligation here to look at the welfare of those who are fleeing the fighting and to provide refuge but what we're seeing is perhaps one of the largest and fastest movements of displacement in the course of the syrian civil war and as the fighting gets closer and closer to the jordanian border it's going to be harder and harder to provide assistance across that border to the displaced camps so we're going to come to a moment we're jordanians going to have to make sure it's going to make a very tough decision and probably to open the border if they do or to make that possible the international community the united states large donors really need to step up right now and get shoulder to shoulder next to jordan and offer them the kind of assistance that would be required to allow them to do this from the point

of view of the refugees who are escaping the fighting what's the significance of crossing a border into another country. well in for them it's a whole series of rights that they can come to them under the refugee convention but fundamentally up until now these people are living in extremely difficult circumstances in the middle of a desert with very little access to humanitarian assistance humanitarians are having a very hard time accessing across the jordanian border and very little assistance is likely to come from the u.n. based in damascus because the assad regime is unlikely to allow them to come down into this area so really were in a quite a desperate situation that's only going to become more grave over time and so a less ruinous or allow the situation to fester along the border some some very. strong and swift measures are going to require both by the government jordan and by international donors in the event that jordan and other countries don't open their

borders what do you think there that the solution might be albeit temporarily for the refugees that are on the serious side of the border so in that situation we've had these moments before in previous years of the conflict and basically what happens is humanitarian n.g.o.s start working quite close closely with the jordanian armed forces to get humanitarian assistance across into the areas where the refugees are displaced or the display syrians been displaced the trick with that is it's a tight pipeline it's very difficult to get the cut the amount of assistance that's required across because now we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people on the move and secondly again as the jordanian it is the syrian army comes closer and closer to the border it's going to create a very very difficult security environment and one in which we've seen in the past the jordanian military actually close the border so in essence you're going to have these people the vice grip and the kill zone with nowhere to go hard and lying is

vice president of health programs and policy at refugees international we appreciate your time thank you very much. i think the son of isolated i will back it all back daddy has reportedly been killed in the syrian city of homs a statement by the on the group says. he was killed in an operation against a russian backed syrian government forces plenty more ahead in the news including handover of power mexico's incoming president promises changes he's prepares to take charge. the moment i second political leader was shot dead in the philippines in two days. and in sports rafael nadal continues his quest for a third wimbledon title tachyon is going to have those details coming up.

at least eleven people have been killed in an air strike on a wedding in yemen's northern side a province the coalition bombed the town of coffee the casualties were mostly women and children the u.n. 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 in the hope the rebels have released a video showing the launch of a surveillance aircraft to monitor saudia marathi backed forces group says it's use this technology to carry out ten operations during the battle for hard data the coalition stepped up its attacks in the strategic port city last month. 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 drawings smuggled out of an iraqi run prisons in yemen last month the pictures describe a system of sexual torture and abuse the u.n. says it requested access to the prisons but it's not yet been allowed in. it will

him qatar he is a yemen analyst based in new york and he says there's plenty of evidence around of torture being systematically used in iraq to run prisons in yemen 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 were 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 oppose 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 bresson's of the united arab emirates and yemen given the these kind of crime the a lot of violations that committed by these forces in yemen so it is time to end their bread and yemen mexico's president elect has met the man whose job he's taking in the ricky pena nieto to discuss his transition to office in december and this man will look a sword or won a landslide victory in sunday's election he says he'll hold a referendum in three years that's half way through his presidency 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 takes at the current mexican president greek opinion yet from the governing three 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 to 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 pact but only if it's for the benefit of the country also on the scotian was a new airport for the capital of the country but it'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 he would respect the autonomy of mexico's central bank so he has a lot of other problems that 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 has 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 seizure province they shot it repeatedly before fleeing the scene.

people just eliminate them things we wanted 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. on al-jazeera from. yemen is find refuge in ethiopia opportunities. protests across poland against controversial new laws that have seen dozens of judges. and find out why sweden are celebrating like it's nine hundred ninety four with in sports.

hello there we're seeing some heavy rain push its way back across parts of china just a few outbreaks of rain really for so wednesday but some of them could turn out to be rather shop they will begin to pull themselves together and sink southwards as we head all way through thursday so some very wet weather through trying to do their own way across into shanghai to the south of that some sunshine but also want to shower it's plenty of showers too across the southeastern parts of asia you can see them really get going over parts of the philippines then they gradually drift their way towards the west most of the wettest of the weather fortunately is away from borneo is just to the north of us and here is where we think the heaviest of the rain but gradually that disbands as we head into thursday and then they'll be somewhat to weather over parts of cambodia and for the northern parts of thailand which obviously isn't exactly what we want hit if we head across towards india we've been seeing some very heavy downpours hair over parts of the northeast and across parts of the poll that is easing now though in instead we're seeing this law

in develop over parts of bangladesh and across the central belt of india i think this is again where we're going to see some of the wettest of the weather as we head through wednesday to the south about that we some clouds but also some showers to the north it will generally be drawing but really quite hot so new delhi up at thirty six in karate at thirty three. the weather. can turn waste. with over forty thousand people killed under his roof it took twenty five years to bring you to a court of law but why for so long with such a brutal dictator considered an ally of the west to her reporting to the congress the press there were. al-jazeera unravels the history of trads natori its former president saying hybrid dictator on trial on al-jazeera. we have a newsgathering team here that is second term and they're all over the world and

they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to them. my job is is to break it all down and we help give you understand and make sense of it. you're watching all jazeera reminder of our top stories this hour malaysia's former prime minister has been charged with corruption over the disappearance of billions of dollars from the state fund while he was in power. was arrested on tuesday he

says the legal action is politically motivated. new video has been released showing a thai football team in good health despite their eleven day ordeal below ground food and medical supplies have reached the twelve boys and their coach it's not yet known how they'll be brought out. the u.n. says a number of yemeni president 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 an iraqi run prisons in yemen last month to describe threats and beatings. of some yemenis fleeing the water are starting new lives in ethiopia officially fifteen hundred have moved there but that number could be as high as four thousand hammad out some of them in the capital. this restaurant on a box to to participate by is a popular meeting point for human to fiji's while some have been here from the

onset of the war three years ago others have just arrived. eighteen year old abdul hamid arrived just six days ago he told me about the long and difficult from the yemeni city. then. that there are. i first came to aid in the travel by boat to djibouti before boarding a vehicle for the ethiopian border officials at the border who are respectful they feel government has an open door policy for yemeni refugees like refugees of other nationalities here they've been allowed to leave. but access to jobs remains a challenge for them as this country of one hundred million people has a huge unemployment problem. but is chairman of the yemeni refugee community and if you're here. and. we thank the ethiopian people in government for the way they welcomed us we live here like it's

our own country this is because of the huge bomb dating back thousands of years between ethiopia and yemen once they cross the border into ethiopia yemeni refugees pass through security and nationality screening procedures before they are just without that they can't get assistance from the un refugee agency. delays over settlement programs to a third country to their hardship plan and then their prices about seventy dollars a month per person that's not enough to live on that rent and the cost of living high yet many here have little hope it will quickly turn. it into the conflict is a long way of our country is the setting of a proxy war between regional and international powers. but few places in yemen are these safe and so for the refugees this is home for now. it is up a three year period dozens of senior judges have been forced out of their posts in

the supreme court in poland after the introduction of a new law which lowers the age at which they have to retire the european union is taking legal action against the polish government accusing it of undermining the independence of the judiciary they were cheated reports from warsaw. thousands of demonstrators converged on the steps of the supreme court where forty percent of the judges are losing their jobs it was described by the chief justice as a political. but the ruling lauren justice party described them as part of a self-serving elite out of touch with ordinary people but testers across the country accuse the government of undermining the constitution with a power grab in the highest sanctum of the law aiming to fill its benches with judges who bend to their will the spokesman for the supreme court said tragically history was repeating itself in poland turning back towards the one party state of

the communist era. indeed we are seeing a breaking of the principle of the partition of power and then mutual balancing of the different kinds of power in favor of a uniform state power seeing the entire state from a single center the protest is how one powerful ally on their side though the european commission in brussels they've started legal proceedings which could end with poland being in the dock in the european court of justice but other members of their legal establishment dismiss that move as politically motivated and say the fundamental reforms needed after the fall of communism are long overdue then put off that process and this is meant of many people not just politicians and judges but most importantly citizens as not been completed. as the protests continued into the night outside the supreme court time and again the protesters chanted the word

constitution what is striking about this demonstration on the steps of the three forty as well the majority of voters from the old generation of holier than the one who remember the stifling of human rights and freedoms and democracy under the old regime. the government hoped to write this storm of protest but the opposition say this is a fight they must win for the sake of future generations david chaytor al-jazeera walsall. the president of the european commission has asked lawyers to examine a migration deal germany's chancellor angela merkel struck with her but very and coalition partners the agreement 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 america has been meeting her center left coalition partner the social democrats to see if then accept the migration deal s.p.d. rejected the idea of transit camps back in twenty fifteen they say they're skeptical about the new agreement dominic keynes got more from berlin. the route of a migration is the prices that just won't go away frank in america will know 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 then 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 around 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 a full read on will take and they say also that they're 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 the sum of twenty fifteen yet still this issue will not go away the captain of the german humanitarian ship lifeline says the libyan coast guard threatened to kill him and his crew the rescue trip was detained last week and it docked in malta with two hundred thirty four refugees on board after italy refused to offer its 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 lives words fail me or libya's denying those claims. 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 they think is a rubber boats sink in the mediterranean and many migrants die including women and children that have been two major of 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 that the spokesman of libya's navy commodore clawson 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 leaves only with governments with governments of the european union he added that they they had only five boats and they needed maintenance and 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 robin nobody has a spokesman for sea watch that carries out search and rescue operations in the mediterranean he says the libyan coast guard is not 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 a step 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 the costs 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 on cue to us to
