1:07 pm
chances it could be days perhaps months before the boys found trapped in a flooded cave in thailand can be brought out. malaysia's former prime minister denies he stole millions of dollars in public money magic brezec faces decades in prison if convicted of corruption charges and. brother in moscow england fans back home in iraq after a penalty shoot out victory sends date seeming to the world cup quarter final. hello israel and jordan are refusing to open their borders to help thousands of refugees escaping a government military offensive in southern syria the u.n. now says as many as three hundred thirty thousand of them have been forced from their homes by the fighting to recapture that province the latest round of talks between the opposition and government ally russia have ended without agreement
1:08 pm
jordan is brokering those talks hoping a ceasefire will slow the rate of refugees trying to cross the border in already hosts nearly seven hundred thousand syrian refugees it's also sending food and aid supplies to but despite a plea from the u.n. jordan says its border will remain closed jordan's army has set up a medical center to treat badly injured syrians heading to the border some of being transferred to government hospitals in jordan let's cross live now to burn a smith at the jab a crossing on the jordan syria border so bernard what's the latest are you hearing there on the plight of refugees. well the un's humanitarian relief coordinator in jordan has put out a statement in the last few minutes he says about two hundred seventy thousand civilians in southern syria have been displaced since the bombardment of dara in the province began on the eighteenth of june i'm not says the u.n.
1:09 pm
is the largest displacement of syrians in southern syria since the conflict began so you can see how quickly and dramatically this has escalated there were yesterday just in the book border location behind me about twenty or twenty five thousand syrian refugees there another hundred or so thousand along various positions along the border but in total lot number now about two hundred seventy thousand according to the u.n. some locally provided relief has got in from here in the last hour or so trucks behind me but we're only taking in there only out on them really warts and blankets and pillows just a very very basic necessities there was also some dry drainage and sanitation stuff was passed over the fence as well but extraordinarily difficult circumstances over there no summit station no running water no food the jordanian military is providing sort of field hospital care warm for men want the women want the children
1:10 pm
you know jordanians treating people and then sending them back into syria and those needing more significant treatment are being taken to hospitals in amman awesome and then and as far as those talks they've ended without any any deal for now when it when things stand today. well as opposed to get going again today rebel groups of recently released. a list of their conditions or al-jazeera has discovered what the list of those conditions are which is essentially they want to cease of hostilities they want the they say the regime forces can enter areas controlled by the opposition or opposition areas they want the regime to leave as areas that they have recently taken and they want the russians to essentially take over the main concern of the rebel groups in these negotiations. with the russians for the syrian regime is that
1:11 pm
they don't trust the syrian regime so they want the russian military police spent securely to have a much greater role in the trolling areas were they to be were the rebel groups to leave them there's a dozen representatives from the rebel groups talking in talks with the russians they hope and they represent a large area from daraa and from the golan area as well and they hope that a number of rebel commanders rebel leaders will give them some weight in those negotiations with the russians the jordanians of course also very keen for some sort of an agreement to be reached quickly because it wants to stop the buildup of civilians on the border and in that regard also as well rather groups formed the jordanians to be involved in overseeing an amnesty for soldiers syrian army soldiers who left their posts and did not fight of the syrian army and stayed in these rebel areas. venice met life for us there on the jordan syrian border. a rummy is a senior fellow and professor at the american university joins us now from beirut
1:12 pm
we're going to speak to him. more on this now thanks very much for being with us again so let me ask you first of all about jordan's decision to close their border with syria now they have taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees from the syrian conflict since since the the war began. but that's not going to resolve the issue is it because this is an increasingly desperate situation for the people in that region of southern syria. it is desperate and it's going to stay desperate for some time because even if you resolve the immediate question now if you let some syrians into jordan or give them more aid at the border there's going to be a longer term medium term issues that have to be resolved within syria there's just no trust at all between the rebel groups some of the local populations that are with them and the central government in damascus which is obviously going to eventually take over reclaim control over all of southern syria there's
1:13 pm
a so that's a certainty the question is how much damage is going to be done for that to happen and the bigger question and the long run is how can you really constitute one syrian government that has effective sovereign control over all the country that is accepted by all the citizens of the country that's the big longer term state building challenges but in the short run this humanitarian crisis is one that syria and jordan have experienced many times before related to iraq to lebanon to palestine and to each other so this is a diplomatic chess game with the russians really holding the strongest position and that's why everybody is negotiating with the russians at the four on the first instance yeah i would certainly appear that way and is there a sense that that did the syrian government the syrian regime backed up by the russians are essentially trying to. create facts on the ground in syria that would
1:14 pm
lead to some sort of solution that's obviously going to be in their favor. well that's happening already that's the russian support the iranian support hezbollah support for the syrian government has allowed the syrian government to essentially win the military battle that has been going on for about seventy years in different parts of the country and they're now trying to consolidate that with a political victory which is in the eyes of the syrian government they're just reclaiming their right as a government to rule the country for the benefit of the syrian people that their problem is a lot of syrian people don't trust them they don't think the government actually is going to help them there's a lot of young people in their area who are particularly worried because their eyes where the rebellion started in two thousand and eleven and they fear they might be made into a special case for retribution to teach everybody in syria a lesson never to do this again there are lots of structural issues of trust
1:15 pm
confidence and legitimacy that the syrians have to sort out themselves those are not going to be done now that's going to come later the problem now is the opposition has really no cards to play they're very weak they're fractured some of them have already left there was a group in. yesterday called the shabaab a sudden a they broke away from the opposition they reached an agreement with the government and turned over their arms and probably this is going to happen in the end and i think the opposition groups are realizing that it's not very effective to just fight to the end because in the end they're all going to be dead and their supporters are going to suffer and civilians are going to suffer more so i would imagine that we'll see a relatively quick end to the fighting and then the political battles will start in the meantime you still have this immense russian influence in southern syria the iranians have a role to play there as well has a role to play the israelis are worried about that the jordanians want the border
1:16 pm
open for trade particularly and to end the refugee flows so you've got conflicting national interests among said. major actors in this region leave out the turks they're only involved in north syria for the moment but you have a really complex diplomatic. contest stations that have to be resolved but that will happen after the immediate flood of refugee distress is resolved and hopefully that will be resolved in the coming days the jordanian foreign minister and the russian foreign minister are meeting in moscow today and so we'll see what comes out of that good to get your perspective on this as always rami who are joining us there from beirut. at the u.n. wants access to yemeni prisons run by the united arab emirates where it says a number of prisoners were tortured and abused by soldiers witnesses show the associated press news agency drawings smuggled out of the prisons last month they
1:17 pm
show threats and beatings abraham qatari is a yemen analyst based in new york he says there's plenty of evidence around of torture being systematically used in an iraqi run prisons in yemen. the torture by the u.s. 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 will 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 that is an obligation right now toward the yemeni government
1:18 pm
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 crimes a lot of violations that committed by these forces in yemen so it is time to end their brothers and yemen. former prime minister najib razak has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges over the disappearance of billions of dollars from the state fund while he was in office and he was facing three counts of criminal breach of trust and one of using his position for personal gain he was arrested on tuesday and was earlier granted bail he denies the charges says the legal action against him is politically motivated. has more from kuala lumpur. former prime minister has been charged with corruption and three counts of criminal breach of trust involving in total ten million dollars alleged to have been deposited into his personal bank account between december two thousand and fourteen and february two

collar crimes involving one m. d. as well as recovering the stolen funds so far police have questioned other politicians as well as not wife. and his stepson resign. a new video has been released showing a junior time football team in good health despite the eleven day ordeal bill. ground food medical supplies at least the twelve boys in that coach phone lines are now being set up so they can talk to their parents it's not yet known how the group will be rolled out and heavy rain is expected to hamper the cave rescue scott hyla has more now from the rescue site. new video of the boys and their coach being released early on wednesday morning now they seem to be in good spirits there's even one little joke that goes around with the kids in there but obviously they're very very stressed and what they're trying to do now these navy seal doctors is treat any minor injuries so far we're hearing that the relatively healthy obviously very hungry there's been high protein and high sugar content gels that they've been
1:21 pm
eating there's been a pipeline of supplies going into that distant part of the cave that has been ongoing but right now the focus is how to get them out and we've got you know we're in the monsoon season right now so we've got rain probably coming the next couple days the governor here saying that they will try to take the members of this team and their coach out as quickly as possible but it might not be all thirteen at once he said each one will be individually valuated and once they are ready each individual then they'll be brought out once the plan is in place that's the problem right now there's really not a plan in place yet because they're still trying to figure out the logistics of it it's a very complicated technical dive to get out from where they are out here to the mouth of the cave so that is something that they're working on very closely there right now the focus really is to get them out but the plan is still in process the governor said that they're not going to come out on wednesday but they're going to get out come out as soon as they can. still ahead on al-jazeera.

senior judges forced out of their posts on the supremes court in poland show up to work regardless. welcome back start our forecast by look at the weather across southeastern parts of asia soaking pretty wet across around the borneo some big storms here further towards the south conditions across java as you would expect and then up through them in a pinch where we've got one or two showers but jenny weather conditions looking pretty good you've got to get up into the gulf of thailand region to really pick up on the showers once again and i think bangkok is likely to be quite wet and you're in the course of friday highs of thirty three degrees celsius so as we head down into a straight here for much of the country high pressure sitting over the top keeping conditions fine but we've got a couple of fronts one moving across western australia will moving across victoria
1:23 pm
and through tasmania so we'd likely see some cooler conditions pushing in over twenty four hours as this particular front goes through so not too bad on thursday a high of nineteen to quite warm for sydney twenty four degrees but us up front pushes through temperatures will be dropping away than just thirteen degrees as a high and fairly cool conditions across western areas to just seventeen as a high in perth across into new zealand we've had a decent spell of weather over the last few days still looking largely dry and fine on thursday but this frontal system will start to bring some really heavy rain across the western side of the south island but it should say launches dry in christchurch. expelled from their base in jordan in the last in the political. rebellion this flies in the ring solution along with was this just another inevitable step on the road to. this is a long story short of the conflict that would cost on assad his leadership in life
1:24 pm
. chronicling the turbulence story strong arms to. history of the revolution on out to sea. again you're watching i just hear a minder of our top stories this hour israel and jordan are refusing to open their borders to help thousands of refugees fleeing a government military offensive in southern syria as did our province the latest round of talks between the opposition and government ally of russia ended without agreement we are expecting to hear from the foreign ministers of jordan and russia
1:25 pm
in just a few moments that this is a news conference that's being set up after their talks and we will course update you on that and what was said as and what a. new video has been released showing a junior thai football team in good health despite the eleven day ordeal below ground food and medical supplies have reached the twelve boys and their coach but it's still not yet known how they'll be brought out. malaysia's former prime minister najib razak has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges over the disappearance of billions of dollars from the state while he was in office now facing three counts of criminal breach of trust and one of using his position. for personal gain. poland's prime minister has defended controversial judicial reform saying his government has the right to make the changes the top supreme court judge that showed up for work despite being forced out of her post by the new retirement
1:26 pm
law the chief justice and dozens of other senior judges were told to step down on tuesday the e.u. has launched legal action accusing the polish government of undermining judicial independence short while back the polish prime minister outlined his position to the european parliament the cars that drive each e.u. state has the right to shape their legal system according to their own traditions. well i speak now to david chaytor who is live for us in warsaw so a real standoff here developing then between the judges and their supporters on one side and the government on the other. that's right there were several hundred demonstrators giving us a boisterous welcome outside the supreme court to the twenty seven judges who were forced into early retirement today by this new measure which lowe's the retire on the day of the supreme court from seventy to sixty five now the judges say that
1:27 pm
this is essentially a purge and what the government wants to do is take control of the highest legal institution in the land they've already got control of the media they got control of the constitutional tribunals and now they're getting control of the supreme court behind me they can put in their own men on the benches people who will be much more pliant to the government will now of course this is going to be an increasing amount of momentum in the demonstrations not only here in warsaw but across poland as a whole more than sixty towns and countries overnight also saw demonstrations against these government measures but perhaps the biggest problem has been is is the problem for the european union of course because it cool pos all the founding treaty says the independence of you disagree is essential as a check and balance to any healthy democracy and that's why they've started taking
1:28 pm
so-called article seven legal proceedings against the polish government which could eventually lead to civil appearing in the the dock in the european court of justice but as we saw the prime minister of poland was telling europe euro m.p.'s that it's up to individual countries to shape the judicial institutions according. to the traditions of their own country that's the position that's also very much supported by hungry so this is another big problem for the bureaucrats and the politicians in brussels faced with so many problems already inside the european union as this is a fight which they'll be watching very closely indeed in the hope that they'll be able to force amendments on the law and justice party who brought the these this new legislation in but it looks as though the government is going to stand firm on this one i will have to see what pressure mounts against them on the streets here
1:29 pm
david in warsaw thanks for that. now german chancellor angela merkel has urged parliament to get behind her new migration policy in her last address to m.p.'s before the summer break that follows a compromise deal with her main coalition partner of the christian social union to limit the number of asylum seekers arriving in germany merkel needs the backing of her other coalition partner along with e.u. member states if the deal is to succeed. it is my firm conviction and the firm conviction of many others that the handling of this migration issue will decide what the europe will enjoy because it's such a moving issue it's important that we come to this agreement. adama cain has more now from berlin. in her last main address to parliament before it breaks up for the summer recess angela merkel returned to the theme of immigration and said something that basically she's been saying now for some weeks perhaps months that no person
1:30 pm
claiming asylum should be able to choose exactly where in the e.u. they do so because that's being a thorny issue in this whole round this idea of secondary migration where a person arrives in its landfall in the e.u. plays asylum there but then goes on to claim it elsewhere and have a variant of servitude party allies have been very very hot on this topic trying to stamp down on this this idea the problem franklin merkel right now is that even though she has the agreement of a conservative partners she yet needs the agreement of her social democrat partners and they are not wedded to the idea of transit centers detention centers where people would be held before being pushed sent back across the border they'd come into germany from so as things stand parliament hears from the leaders this morning and today with the question will be what will emerge from a key meeting taking place on thursday where this idea of and consent is transit centers will be discussed by the main coalition partners some yemenis fleeing the
1:31 pm
war starting new lives in ethiopia officially fifteen hundred moved there but the number could be as high as four thousand mohamed atta met some of them in the capital at this out of. this restaurant on a box to talk about discipline is a popular meeting point for yemen leader fiji's well 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 escape from the yemeni city. and then. 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 the. us but access to jobs remains
1:32 pm
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. 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 problems to a third country to their hardship plan and then better prices about seventy dollars a month per person it's not enough to live on that rent and the cost of living high
1:33 pm
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. it is of up with you appear. like. some of the like.
1:34 pm
i mean you don't know how to define and it's not possible for me to the family that it's just one on those things that you feel this is yes yes i believe in this i'm so i'm not but i'm an independent animation filmmaker. that's about the idea that. dongle asked. it's about it's about the believing in your dreams it's about that. as a filmmaker i would want my audience to support that when men begin quest as a leader i would definitely want my audience today and jumble with it and say yes this is what i want and. i have tried to be very honest with the film the story isn't mine yes i did rip it off from my sister was a childhood incident she was the one who planted chocolate all of them so i have put in the elements of my childhood off but i suppose in my influences that i've had. the little incidents that used to take place in my own backyard i have cried
1:35 pm
a little bit of everything to stay honest to the whole thing but still big the hole even from my point of view. i'm trying to create that language where this kid is a shy kid and he doesn't speak to all that is how i ended up not giving him more. than a word the need to be i wanted him to express through the.
