see job border crossing south into jordan and thousands more along the western border with the occupied israeli occupied golan heights jordan says he's managed to get syrian rebel negotiators back to the table with russian officials is off the top collapse a ones day prompting the syrians to restart their offensive as they know how to report from beirut. rebels and province say they are ready to fight to the death but at the same time they say they are ready to return to the negotiating table several rounds of talks to end the fighting and restore government rule in the southern province peacefully failed jordanian mediation has yet again succeeded in bringing the warring sides together earlier the opposition said the terms demanded by the russian military negotiating on behalf of the syrian government are unacceptable and humiliating to us. we didn't even begin the negotiations and

the russians were not even ready to listen to our demands the russian side insisted on their own terms and left the meeting during that meeting we insisted on guarantees before we give up our weapons because how can we give up our weapons without an international guarantees. the relative lull in the fighting has been shattered the military offensive resumed in full force. civilians yet again the victims activists say there were hundreds of airstrikes in the few hours following the breakdown of talks missiles and barrel bombs battered what's left of opposition controlled territory. the rebel held areas have shrunk since the almost three week long russian backed syrian government offensive began government troops continued to take ground moving closer to the jordanian border with the capture of the town of site it came at a cost dozens of soldiers were reportedly killed in the opposition says it will continue to defend the remaining half of villages in the province under its control

. the revolutionaries managed to prevent assad's forces from advancing into toughest on salman for the fifth consecutive day this will be the graveyard for the regime and the russians we tell bashar al assad that the revolution started here and his end will be here. there is defiance but there is also a reality the opposition is surrounded. by its allies people are afraid. what happens . when people are afraid of returning to their homes if the regime is president they're afraid of being forced to join the army in a resurgent to join the opposition rusher in the regime or accuse them of terrorism there's a lot of fear the offensive has created a humanitarian crisis hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced the number is growing with the escalation in the fighting the opposition says it is afraid to hand over their heavy weapons without security guarantees from a third party they fear reprisals from syrian government troops if they enter their

towns and villages those who don't want to live under president bashar assad's rule are demanding safe passage to rebel held areas in the north and opposition to go she does want the u.s. and involved in talks about the fate of southern syria all those requests were rejected. the intensity of the bombardment is being described as the heaviest since the offensive began just like in previous military campaigns the pro-government camp is hoping to bomb the opposition into submission senator beirut. with reporters some of the people fleeing the fighting in daraa have moved into the israeli occupied golan heights and demilitarized zone between syria and israel whenever a pope from there in a moment but first this report from bernard smith is visit a failed hospital and the jobber crossing on the border between jordan and syria. there has been a steady stream of syrians fleeing dara coming here for treatment with

a wide variety of injuries many of them conflict related and the jordanian military has set up three separate tents in what are extremely challenging environment it's hot and it's dusty and it's very difficult for people to work there are a lot of frightened people here frightened children crying man frightened women. this five year old girl clearly in a lot of pain just fell over as she was running away from the fighting and she's being given stitches by the doctors but you can see very difficult conditions that working in and you can see that this poor girl is very frightened indeed most of injuries here we did. cut to warn her parents. and describe the environment in which your working out challenging is this environment and why it's.

something this is said before any people who want to do in his life the jordanian military says it's treated hundreds of syrians here in the last few days for a wide variety of injuries and illnesses to women unfortunately who are pregnant try to make it here for treatment lost their babies because of the great distance they had to travel an indication really the very stream dangers the syrians are facing as they try and flee the bombardment of a province now while jordan is not. opening its borders to refugees to allow refugees in it will get treatment to any who need it and then they will be sent back into syria. one of the questions being asked is why the refugees have come to this border when israel has never opened its borders to refugees throughout this war and recently said that that policy wasn't going to change now one of the main reasons is because this area was occupied by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven it was a few years later in one thousand nine hundred eighty four that the so-called

disengagement plan was put into place by israel and syria which basically makes this area a demilitarized zone if you look over my right shoulder in the distance there you'll see. around those trees there is a u. and base the u.n. monitors this area and you can see how close that basis to these camps we understand that many of the refugees have come here because they feel a lot safer now the small warnings throughout the morning we've heard what sounds to be either air strikes or artillery strikes close by there are is around ten kilometers to my left could nature to my right. the israelis say that they will continue delivering aid when and where is necessary we know that the i.d.f. the israeli military delivered around three hundred tents and approximately seventy tons of aid in a special mission across the border last week we understand that there are plans for a similar mission in the next few days but as you can see here and with respect to

what we are hearing which sound like artillery strikes we sound like strikes it just shows you how vulnerable these refugees are. is regional media adviser in the middle east for the norwegian refugee council and he says southern syria is a catastrophe in the making. last twenty four hours have been some of the most brutal. and in these last couple of weeks the escalation started in southern syria we are now looking at over three hundred thirty thousand people on the move fleeing for their lives that is the anti-air population of iceland. just as much of the same population that is now right now leaving fleeing for their lives they are under attack and the last twenty four hours we've seen people who are on the displacement areas camps very very

bare minimum standards where they are trying to seek shelter that they were under attack they have been women and children have been killed aide workers have been killed and the country to them and that is the absolute tragedy right now the bombs have started exploding again there is no access to those people who are caught in the fighting and that is a quick and very rapid and massive movement towards the jordanian border where the fighting is moving through and these people are so that there was nowhere left to go so that that is also where we renewed our appeal to the jordanian government which has been extremely supportive and generous to the syrian refugees over the seven years now it is facing this this big moment of truth is where there are tens of thousands of syrian refugees who have nowhere left to go

and the fighting is approaching them they are trapped they are cornered and we can protect them us president all trump has accepted the resignation of his scandal plagued environment chief stopped for it for it had been embroiled in allegations of ethics violations for one second sending his spending habits on the line. misuse of office also infuriated conservationists by rolling back laws designed to protect the environment and guard against global warming john and. scott pruitt was the environmental regulator industry always want it it's the e.p.a.'s objective my objective is the minister of the e.p.a. to come in and make sure that people's health is protected the former oklahoma attorney general went from being one of the agency's most aggressive opponents suing it fourteen times to running it through filed two lawsuits challenging the e.p.a. mercurian air toxics standards you filed a lawsuit challenging the e.p.a.'s two hundred two thousand and fifteen national

ambient air quality standards for ozone never since president richard nixon created the agency in one nine hundred seventy has corporate america had a stronger or more controversial ally in it scott proteins done an amazing job that it was a very short period of time and most people love their thoughtful. pruitt has declared war on regulation dismantling dozens of obama era protections on clean air chemicals in cars i think the focus in the past has been on making manufacturers in detroit making manufacturers in various parts of the country make cars that people aren't going to buy he's going global warming hopes infuriating progressives in congress if that's the kind of. e.p.a. administrator you will be. you're not going to get my vote he's drawn the fire of environmentalists scott pruitt saying taxpayers and president trump and dangerous

to your family's health his alleged ethical lapses pricey first class flights hiring a small army of security agents and running a cut rate condo from the wife of a lobbyist have drawn the barbs of late night comics got through it being the head of the e.p.a. is the same as new york's good inspector being a rat with a clipboard he's there to take a good piece of land to get the most money. out of it about time the environment got a pen and we got one now used aides to try to get his wife a job in a chick fil a franchise he was recently confronted by this mother holding her son in a video that went viral i would urge him to resign but he had the support of the regulator in chief then he got what white house watchers call the kiss of death a statement of lukewarm support from the president scott pruitt's are you support i hope he's going to be true it leaves a legacy of unraveled regulations an unprecedented support among the regulated. and john is standing by for us now in washington john as we're all trying to read

between the lines here i suppose the question is why and indeed why now. well sue first of pruitt was very popular among conservatives he'll go down is the most aggressive deregulator in that e.p.a. job since richard nixon signed it into being in one thousand and seventy he rolled back those obama era regulations he pulled he helped pull the us out of the two thousand and fifteen climate change treaty he was a climate change denier and in the eyes of many conservative republicans those are all good things but he had ethical baggage he had two real categories of problems one was how we used aids and the other one was how he spent his personal funds in that office he allegedly used aides as that story mentioned to pursue a chick fil a franchise to search for an apartment to buy a mattress from the trump hotel and he allegedly demoted those who disagreed with

him and then there was his spending that forty three thousand dollars secure phone booth a fifty dollar a night condo that he got allegedly through a special deal that was given to him from the wife of a lobbyist he flew first class flights he had an army of security and then ultimately many of his moves were overturned courts have overturned six of his efforts in part because they say the e.p.a. failed to pursue important procedures why now because the president's faith patience finally broke ahead of the midterm elections although republicans like what he had been doing john kelly the president's chief of staff have been calling for him to leave for quite some time when the president eventually is reported to have said with this guy it's just one thing after another the president had said he wanted to drain the swamp pruitt was not helping with that bernie sanders is called him the worst e.p.a. administrator ever but whatever happens now pruitt will leave and maybe

a lot of those issues will go away but that agency is likely to continue to conduct business in the way that donald trump has like to. and that's because indra wheeler his deputy a former coal lobbyist is going to take over that what is probably over or prove its own personal ambitions he said to have wanted to run for statewide office in his home state of oklahoma and there was even talk of him running for president after president trump in two thousand and twenty four good to get your take on this john hendren there on the rest of the action scott pruitt coming up on this news hour people are challenged with manslaughter in kenya following i damn collapse that killed forty seven as the victims' families called for justice we are working on to bring her more court if you want to read the record grind of brazilian asylum seekers shares the horror of being separated from her son at the us mexico border plus. the richardson at the world cup in russia where after eight years of preparation we now just have eight teams and eight games left in the tournament.

more news now from the u.s. where immigration officials are under intense pressure. to migrant children with the families they were separated from at the mexico border and fisher is live for us in washington d.c. and joins me now allan there is a lot of pressure there's a deadline even being posts on the authorities to be able to put the children that have been separated from the families that gain so much negative publicity exactly what is now happening on the ground to make that happen. well alex is our who is the the secretary of for health and human services he says that they're walking flatow to try and meet these deadlines which he described as extreme although the judge may disagree without one of those deadlines will you remember at the border

a number of families were separated the children were moved to other parts of the country or held in detention is close to the border while their families were moved away that went to court it was decided that they couldn't do that they had to reunite the families and the judge said look i want the families at least having phone contact by this friday i want under fire is reunited with their families there's around two hundred families we think by july the tenth and by july twenty sixth all of these families should be reunited so how many are we talking about well interestingly enough when alex is our gave evidence to the senate last week he said it was two thousand and forty seven now he's saying it's less than three thousand which leaves many critics to suggest the number is much greater than the health and human services department even you know we're told that there is a group of two hundred thirty people who are working sawley on the idea of trying to reunite these families by the deadline and they're also using d.n.a.

also families who've been separated from their children and the children at the border then they're moving those families closer but here's the rub for many people the trump administration has already logged an action in court to say look if we can we would like to keep these families together and we want to keep them in custody for longer than the law currently allows so we're seeking a waiver on that and they argue that they have the power to do that that's for a judge to decide at some point in the near future but for the moment department of health and health and human services doing what they can to renia these families as quickly as they can there was a real outcry when this case where they said and even saying country some people really taking to the streets about do you think that damage is done now and you think the affix to try and we unite will will turn out corner a little. i think it's really in the hands of government agencies to make

sure that first of all the deadlines are met but they're aware of the anger and there we have whoa wait sprayed that anger was it wasn't just people on the left or those opposed to donald trump it was people close to donald trump and republicans who were also saying that this is unacceptable they also made the point if this continues then this will play very badly for us come the midterm elections this will be an election issue people will bring this up at every possible opportunity and start asking republican candidates do you support this idea when you talk about stronger immigration so the administration have tried to take that away as an issue so really no the pressure is on to reunite these families and do quickly and to make sure it doesn't happen again at the border and of course as we know donald trump has already said that while he signed an executive order to reunite these families he insists on a zero tolerance policy at the border which was the policy that split families up in the first place as alan fischer there speaking to us from washington d.c.

well i want to zero has spoken to a brazilian asylum seeker who hasn't seen her son since he was taken away and a second border under president chance zero tolerance policy. has more. she is so scared she would only speak to us by telephone if she came to us with her nine year old son seeking asylum cleaning her native brazil and not busuk husband who threatened to kill her when she crossed the border into america her nightmare began border guards pried her son away from her grasp listen closely to what she says oh you know grab a non three sided crying they're not holding on to my thumb drive from work or they got to me in the rebel crying in the last second what happened nk one cell was full of mothers the other packed with children both cells with a thick glass wall faced each other the majority don't think you're going to scream

at them and climbing on the grab the criticism winds to get to the front where their parents are across their own i think you wouldn't now would there were even two pretty women but they're what i need to regard being fair when the. ninety nine zero. years. after two days her nightmare became even worse there were twenty two and then all of a sudden i was in there walking with my son thanking him wait that was five weeks ago it was the last time she saw her son. after more than three weeks in detention she was finally released but her son was not she is now living with relatives in the u.s. and lawyers working on her behalf have filed a lawsuit against the federal government to force immigration officials to reunite her with her son so far that hasn't happened the same immigration officials say

that asylum seekers that are detained are treated well but that wasn't her experience you know you were treated really bared bickered there was no right. or not there we paid for parent made it work. we've never seen our people there were no working or anything like that there were. never over and now so because the repacking are saying she's been able to phone her son only a couple times the last time she was allowed three minutes for. one minute he was crying. when he went home and he gets here. gabriel is on to. new york at least nineteen people have been killed in a series of five explosions near mexico city agency the red cross says the victims include a firefight says police and paramedics who were attending one blast when

back to square one the british government has always held russia responsible for the attack on the script and the interior secretary has asked them to come forward and explain what exactly happened the ice of the world are currently in russia not least because of the world cup. it is now time that the russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on there is speculation here but those responsible for the march attack may have dumped chemicals on their way through a mystery to be the quickest route to the most a way to shop al-jazeera in salzburg. so what exactly is the not a child and i have agent which uk which means new coming in russian is a soviet era group of nerve agents developed as a cold war weapon in the seventy's and eighty's they were manufactured and tested at a top secret facility in what is now becky stone that was closed in one thousand nine hundred three is one of i believe the novacek agents are dispersed in

a pound of four rather than gas so vapor like most interventions are usually and handled by victims they take effect quickly often within a minute and designs to be resistant to conventional antidotes and treatment victims suffer involuntary muscle contractions that can lead to cardiac arrest and risberg tree failure where philip ingram is a former intelligence and security officer and an expert in chemical and biological weapons he says the risks posed by novacek can't be underestimated. no the truck has been designed to last for a long time it's described as a very persistent nerve agent so it could be around for months if not longer the other thing about it is it's been designed to be virtually undetectable by current metal detection technologies and the sort of things that the police would have and the emergency services would have so it's very very difficult to find the public health england advice saying that there is a very small risk to the general public is right but right in

a way i think what should be doing is getting the people solved for anything that seems unusual that sort of place and ask them not to touch it but i think they should set up a special team that things can be reported to and they can go very quickly and pick it up and take it away make sure it's it's disposed of so that the risk is reduced to an absolute minimum this it could be services will not be focusing on trying to find out where these assassins have gone the path that they've gone to try and see if there's any other traces along the path. to come on this al jazeera news hour the u.k. celebrates seventeen years of its groundbreaking national health service but it faces an uncertain future. along lawrence near the border between northern and southern ireland the place the issue that could derail brecht states and could also break the british conservative party and install the world's top surface make waves with the oceans top predators in south africa.

leave the european union as well as the u.k. not only is that viewed as enormously patronize ing it's clear that all and sees a chance for once to stand up to the british team from here a position to the hard border has much to do with writing historical romance as well as protecting the public. only al-jazeera dundalk. britain has marking the seventieth anniversary of its iconic national health service the n.h.s. established a universal health care system guaranteeing free access to treatment regardless of income or status as well as celebrations come serious question marks over its future paul brennan reports. the n.h.s. is the world's fifth biggest employer with around one point five million staff offering more than two thousand three hundred different surgical procedures and treating a million patients every thirty six hours health care should be like this it should be free at the point of access i don't think patients should have to worry about

how when they're poorly how they're going to fund things. and the scope and complexity of the treatment that it now offers the n.h.s. is almost unrecognisable from the service first founded seventy years ago but one thing remains the same the driving principle behind it all in the words of nih bevan the then health minister in one nine hundred forty eight no society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means the n.h.s. has helped the u.k. average life expectancy rise from sixty eight years in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight to eighty one years now wonderful new drugs new technologies just look at being huge revolution happening in digital how we embrace innovation because with innovation we can improve the quality and safety of care but that longevity means today's n.h.s. is facing unforeseen challenges from obesity dementia cancer and cardiovascular

disease earlier this year a parliamentary committee warned that the n.h.s. finances were in a perilous state an extra twenty seven billion dollars was pledged last month but the government spending watchdog warn that even that was not enough to improve services hospital administrators are contemplating difficult choices based on clinical outcomes and affordability and if we see procedures if we see things that we're doing in the n.h.s. on dilution money then let's have that conversation probably to say actually it would be better off spending the money doing something else or looking after a group of patients in a different way the n.h.s. remains free at the point of access but there after there are no guarantees. social care of the elderly is in crisis it is a way especially for my age the older you get when i want to. have to have coffee and we have got people that change they don't want to go because i know all they need on the rain and they don't know how they going to. find anything to emplace so

that they have that reassurance and they know that they will still be cared for when they go home the problems have not gone unnoticed there are regular demonstrations against hospital closures and cutbacks this protest last weekend attracted thousands of marchers the public affection for the n.h.s. remains undimmed and there is much to celebrate about the past seventy years but the prognosis for the service remains uncertain paul brennan al-jazeera milton keynes. business updates. going places together.

have. thank you very much to just hours away from the quarter finals of the world cup but there are two huge matches on friday first up your take home france you guys a leading striker it's income finally is still doubtful for the clash that's one year old who's seen here training away from his teammates has called three goals in four matches picked up a half injury it during his side's two one win against portugal coach has remained tight lipped about this. he's a very important player for us and he was really playing well as i was saying just

soon as he was injured he started working hard to recover he's concentrating on his dream and his hopes and that is what he's doing right now. belgium vs brazil is shaping up to be the most entertaining of the quarter finals but the european side have a tough task ahead of them as they face the world cups most successful team brazil have won the title five times cultural there to martinez has urged his players to simply enjoy the experience. i think when you are in the quarterfinals of the world called facing brazil you don't need extra motivation we know why we're here we know how hard we've been working now for two years i feel that the group is ready i feel that the mentality is right i feel that we're confident so all all the markers now is to be able to be ourselves on the beach anything else i don't think we need to get any extra messages when extra motivation i think is the only game probably as a player that you're going to be involved and you don't need motivation well france

and russia have travelled from around the world for the quarterfinals as andy richardson found out in moscow there are so king up the atmosphere but godless of where they're from. well after eight years of preparation we have eight teams and eight games left in this world cup red square just outside of the kremlin which has become an informal gathering point for fans from all over the world and really regardless of whether or not that seems have made it through to the quarterfinals none of the supporters seem to be in a rush to leave the people of. the world cup in general have been a religious success for the country it's difficult to know if this is russia like all the time i think it's the world cup fever that make it special that people is so amazing in seoul giving information for. impressive four for me you know we were only of all you know celebrating the beauty of the game their love of. friday's first quarter final sees euro quite taking on

france now killing them back by really in a. asked himself on a global stage for france in their last sixteen game against argentina he looked dangerous throughout and scored two goals we've been talking to the former french international forum a looter about how good he thinks and this french team can be is very ambitious of course is talented but even with this young age he wants to be among the best in the scene then they're. like one of the best so. what he's doing i think for me is normal for is that. that is normal level of performance and. the type of players who will need to deliver that's what they do in their. in their clubs brazil versus belgium is friday's of a game brazil have conceded just worn goals so far at the tournament favorites and

i haven't been behind at any point in any gang belgium meanwhile all they had to come back from two goals down against japan in their last sixteen games to win three two nor would seem in forty eight has come back from such a deficit and want to gain in the knockout rounds looking to reach the semifinals for the first time since nine hundred eighty six. well the speed of france is in here around the field that has seen people also shell media and his team mates compare him to something out of the computer game in the thick of the killian doesn't like a fee for video games like when you push one button for acceleration. you cannot do anything as it does that the right moment is the technically skilled and talented player and i think he's realised he can pass through any defend in the world if you pushes the ball and accelerates off to three or four metres it's going to be very hard for anyone to stop him. he's defending one bill then women's champion gabby mcarthur has been knocked out in the second round by

a belgian allison than you can well muggers that is the latest of the women's top season to fall and this poll the end of the reports the men and much better. gabby mcgrath as lost in three sets to the little known belgian means five of the top six women seeds of all really been eliminated at wimbledon it's the earliest except for defending champion since defeat graf lost in the first round and nine hundred ninety four. french open champion and world number one simona halep as the last of the surviving top seeds she came back from five three down in the first sit against china's. to win the next in games in a row to advance to the third round. of the overnight rain delay worked wonders for men's world number eighty two power he's through to the third round of a grand slam for the first time ever after coming from two sits down to upset last

year's runaround marron chill much when i walk up to the. better one chord that was getting better and better. and that tennis is like that sometimes you go and you feel good and that's it. three time champion novak jock of its needed treatment in the third see it for a thigh injury before winning in straight sets oh yeah. thanks it was a bad move on. during the point. and affected my knee a little bit or. felt that on the way to the end of the match basically last couple games so i've been doing check ups now and seems like it's. nothing major. there was no trouble for rafael nadal on the court as he eased into the third round for the straight sets one but the world number one was born before the start of the match for being too slow from an umpire he's previously had issues
