supplies to the now but despite a plea from the u.n. jordan says its border will remain closed the army has set up a medical center to treat badly injured syrians heading to the border some are being transferred to government hospitals in jordan let's get the view now from the israel assyria border chance strafford is in the israeli occupied golan heights and joins me live now charles what is the latest that you're hearing from there. that's right has him we are here in the golan heights an area that was occupied by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven just to give you an indication of how close these areas we're talking about are there are towns there are provinces only ten to fifteen kilometers in that direction and directly behind me over my right shoulder literally bible six kilometers away is that town. these are the areas where we hear we've seen the fighting be the worst in the last couple of

weeks and we've also seen still photographs of some of these makeshift camps in some of these areas specifically around could nature and that the kind of reports that way hearing of the tens of thousands of people are living in pretty appalling conditions. desperate situation there very little shelter many of them obviously without tents the israeli government's position he is very specific the prime minister netanyahu is said that as you say the borders will not be opened here but as you know he's also said that the israelis will continue to deliver humanitarian assistance where they can and there's also been a large troop deployment in this area reinforcement of israeli troops that are in this area anyway and have been in the decades but a reinforcement of the two hundred tents division it's also important for the israelis to say that they are stand by the one nine hundred seventy full separation

of forces agreement that was put into play here between the syrians and the israelis the israelis very concerned that fighting overseas so close to these borders not only has impact with respect to i.d.p.'s and people fleeing that violence but there are also a very strong security concerns from israel predominantly that the main one is the present self iranian forces of pro iranian forces so close to. this border area but as i say the israelis so for have said that they are not going to open these borders to the refugees or one could only imagine the the suffering of fear of these tens of thousands of people that have that are fleeing this fighting in this area goes on john strafford life for us there on the golan heights how the u.n. is seeking access to yemeni prisons run by the united arab emirates where it says a number of prisoners have been tortured and sexually abused by soldiers witnesses

provided the associated press news agency with drawings smuggled out of the prisons last month they describe threats and beatings a new video has been released showing a junior time football team in good health despite their eleven day ordeal below ground food and medical supplies have reached the twelve boys and their coast phone lines are now being set up so they can talk to their parents it's not yet know know how the group will be brought out and heavy rain is expected to hamper the cave rescue the operation is taking place in chiang rai that's where scott hyla joins us live from there now scott a number of options. for the rescuers here and a lot of it is supposed being dictated by the weather conditions. absolutely housing you know that's the clock that is ticking over this operation this rescue operation the weather is supposed to turn worse the end of this week no

this is the monsoon season here in northern thailand and that's part of the reason why there are these boys and their coach are trapped inside this cave is because there was a tarantula downpour that trapped them so the idea is to try to do as much as they can lowering the level i'm pointing over to where the pumps are lowering the level of the water in those caves but then also try to get them out as he said housing you know and then there are a lot of different options that they're looking at but the one that seems to be the most feasible but it's still very risky is to train them on the schoolbook wittman's these twelve boys and their coat on scuba equipment so they can come out of the cave now obviously that is very dangerous it's very risky i spoke to a scuba expert here it's a very technical technical dive and it's very dangerous because there are currents and there's mud in the water so it's very difficult to see so with those factors at play and also the potential of rainfall coming in clock is really taking off and they really want to get them out as soon as possible but the good news is you know we saw that video they are being treated by navy seal doctors there's

a nurse in there and we know that there's a pipeline of food and medicine going in they've got some very basic medical treatment the good news on that front is there are no major injuries there they seem to be relatively healthy obviously very hungry and that's something that's important to get their energy up to get those calories in them because it's going to be a very stressful time when they do come out and very stressful on their bodies indeed scott and we're learning anything any anything new at this point about what kind of spirits these these boys are in and what's being done to to to kind of keep the communication lines open and song. well we're still waiting to get word about what you'd mentioned housing earlier and that is a line of communication directly to the boys where they are in this corner of the cave that's actually a ledge area they have been trying to get a line a hard line communication into them so they can speak to their family obviously for communication for coordination as well but obviously one of the bigger points right

now is to for morale for the family here and for the boys also also on the morale front some of these videos that have been kind of circulated there's one that came out from the tight navy seal web facebook page they've also been a couple that have come out on line which is the social networking they the family members have a close group and they've been posting video that they got i presume from time navy seals as well kind of joking around there in one of them they're going around through all the thirteen boys in their coats introducing themselves and then kind of toward the end you can hear that someone in the back said hey you didn't introduce me yet so their spirits are high higher than they were obviously there are smiles on their faces but the key is to get them out and that's that's what everybody is focused on right now i spoke to a diving technician and he said that he feels as though these full face masks that people have been talking about is feasible for them he believes that they can do it they just need a little bit of training but again trying to get them in there trying to work out the training that's always in process right now housing but again with this weather

independence david chaytor 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 perch. but the ruling lorand justice party described them as part of a self-serving elite out of touch with ordinary people's protest as across the country accuse the government of undermining the constitution with a power grab in the highest sanctum of the law aiming to fit 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 protesters have 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 dismissed that move as politically motivated 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 report is will majority status from the of the generation of. the one who remember the style of human rights and freedoms and democracy under the congress regime

the government hoped to ride to storm the protests but the opposition say this is a fight they must win for the sake of future generations. or less speak now to david chaytor who is live for us in war so small source so david we understand those senior judges have shown up for work so a real standoff now here between them and the government. has i'm yes it's best to describe the situation here as very fluid many people are disorientated about exactly what the legal position now is but it is a standoff there were thousands of protesters gathered here on the steps of the supremes court building in warsaw once again to greet the twenty seven judges who have now lost their jobs but they came into the building and they were led by the former chief justice. a good story and she said that the said

she she was here to protect the constitutional law because under the constitution she should have a goal a job guarantee until twenty twenty but according to the new measures brought in by the law and justice party she is now redundant and she says that the whole hold measures taken by the governing conservative party are essentially a purge a purge of the supreme court to allow the government to put c. in that. own placement on the benches judges who will bend to the government's will but of course there is a large protest beginning to be organized not only here in warsaw but across the whole country so a standoff is being prepared at the moment we don't know exactly what will be happening but the organizers say aleck but when the soli done notionally to

solidarity leader who was prominent in the downfall of the communist regime here will be joining the protests here tonight that might start some sort of groundswell momentum for the anti-government protests but the government's position has them is always been that as far as they're concerned the supreme court judges were out of touch with the common people there were self-serving elite and that the reforms after the fall of communism didn't go far enough and that they had to tackle former members of the judiciary who were in the communist regime and also the taint of corruption so that's their position they're standing by it's these judges might be in the offices here behind me in the supreme court but essentially they're squatters as far as the government are concerned and the legal position has got to be worked out yet but no doubt this is going to be a long long and heavy protest david chain to life for us there in

warsaw thanks david now german chancellor angela merkel is making her last speech to parliament before the summer break that's after the compromise deal with her main coalition partner the christian social union to limit the number of asylum seekers arriving in germany she's also met other coalition of the center left social democrats to see if they will accept the deal alive now to dominate kaine who is in berlin for saddam and what is the situation right now regarding migration . well that's the topic that's on the tip of the tongues of everybody in the parliament today because this today this is a debate which will see all the main party leaders effectively speaking in parliament addressing issues that they consider to be of concern and this one migration is at the top of the agenda for angela merkel as you were saying in the introduction. she has still some negotiation to go through she agreed a deal to

a certain extent with her very and conservative allies but they're only one branch of the grand coalition the other one perhaps a much more substantial one the social democrats will they still need to be persuaded they met yesterday for some considerable time and said well we still have many more questions to ask we need sufficient answers and we understand that there were more meetings on thursday regarding that so right now the migration route is still brewing still still going along and we will definitely hear more of our series in parliament in the debate today and dominate was the sense you get of how much pressure anger merkel is under to to get a solution here. well that's because you're about it this is a very serious pressure that this this government has been under now for for some weeks and in some senses it's self-imposed pressure mr zale for his friends from the c.s.u. the varian conservatives well they they caused this rally in one sense forcing

merkel into a position where she had to give a deadline of the agree that the the e.u. summit would be a deadline she had to come up with a solution she came up with that solution and then they had the more negotiations now she has to negotiate with the social democrats and he was remember that for months there was this rather over whether there would be another grand coalition lots of concessions on both sides that sort of thing this is a serious pressure that angle america is under right now but perhaps one thing that all the politicians and almost all the politicians in the parliament right now will be thinking is that they don't want new elections most of the opinion polls suggest that the parties right now might lose seats and that the one party that would want an election the alternative for germany the far right and the immigrant party so lots of pressure on america right now trying to bring all these disparate elements of her coalition together knowing that the last thing she wants to have is a new election. for the moment donna cane live for us there in thanks dominic
