it's almost certain that this nomination will go through that doesn't mean there won't be a fight there's going to be one heck of a fight over this nomination and of course it could have political repercussions down the road as you mentioned earlier but i think the odds of the nomination being actually de re old or prevented from going to a vote are those odds are pretty small joseph hostin is professor of law at indiana university bloomington we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed a federal judge has rejected a request by the trumpet ministration to allow the long term detention of migrant children who entered the u.s. illegally the argument presented by the administration was described as tortured in the ruling by the district court judge earlier the white house told the courts that the government will not meet the tuesday deadline for reuniting migrant children with their parents i did issue an order called for one hundred two migrant children under the age of five to be returned to the families by tuesday in the u.k.

divisions over prime minister to resign may's bragg's it strategy have led to two major resignations threatening to tear the ruling conservative party apart first to go was david davis he was bragg's it secretary and he was leading negotiations with the e.u. now davis quit on sunday night in protest against may's plan for a softer bragg's it would cheat agreed with the cabinet on friday less than twenty four hours later foreign secretary boris johnson announced he too was leaving johnson led the campaign to leave the european union he says the government's self-doubt is killing the braggs that dream health secretary jeremy hunt has been named as his replacement main strategy is to adopt a common rulebook with the e.u. establishing a free trade area but hardline m.p.'s like davis and johnson say that's going to lead to a break is it in name only john holl reports. british government unity

a leadership challenge but to resume a appears to have emerged unscathed from a meeting of her party for now she may yet be around to continue negotiations with the european union even if the e.u. has had yet another demonstration of just how vulnerable she is. in parliament earlier mrs maynard faced laughter and derision from the opposition and stony faces from her own side in the two years since the referendum we have had a spirit national debate i. went through past you coming around the cabinet table as i have on from the stables up and down the country how can anyone have faith in the prime minister getting good good deal with twenty seven european union governments when she can't even broker a deal within her own cabinet. the internal divisions of the conservative party over the european union were among the reasons the previous prime minister david

cameron called the twenty sixth he breaks it referendum those divisions once more on display but one prominent supporter of a so-called heartbreaks it says it's not yet time for this prime minister to quit. but. that's not likely to happen so while to reserve made merge is stronger than many expected a plot against her may yet be in preparation. plenty more ahead on the news including the frantic search for survivors as japanese rescue teams battled the clock and the weather and the hunt for flood victims plus. sworn in again is turkey's president this time with sweeping new powers. roger federer strongs his way into the wimbledon quarter finals and closer to

a ninth title at the all england club. it's been raining in northern thailand and that could hamper the operation to bring out the final four boys and their coach from a flooded cave complex eight of the thirteen people trapped underground have been rescued and i said to be recovering in hospital as the latest. finally they saw daylight after spending weeks deep underground in a flooded gave the second batch of boys emerged much sooner than expected after a dangerous for kilometer journey to level flooded passages with life fully into the hands of cave divers let flown in from all over the world to guide them out the boys are being kept in isolation to make sure they didn't get any infectious diseases inside the cave an agonizing wait for their parents who were allowed to

see them but not get near to them yet. last night once we successfully completed our mission there was another team ready to place the equipment for us immediately we were able to complete our mission earlier than expected by around four or five hours if the weather stays like this and we're able to prepare ourselves faster we can conduct our operation faster baron's free of the worst when their boys disappeared more than two weeks ago after entering the caves just before it got flooded only to be found nine days later and relative good health it was a tough call to make to rescue the boys to console him nor die for this flooded and narrow gateway it could only work if the boys wouldn't panic and fully rely on the rescue us for guidance although details of the rescue operation have yet to emerge it's safe to say that this tricky plan has so far been successful authorities say the boys are doing fine despite their ordeal by details about their medical conditions have not been released dramatic disappearance of the football team and

their equally dramatic rescue has not only captivated thailand but many worldwide help has poured in from around the globe something the parents of the boy say they will never forget as long as they live. west of us is joining us now from shanghai how is the rain affecting the rescue operations. well as you can see the rains have now definitely come and this is something that the rescuers have been worried about for days already now let's unlove for a couple of days and that's why the rescue plan so successful in the last two days but now this rain is here to stay and it will get worse by the hour and get worse by the day so time is definitely running out now this is probably the last window of opportunity this day today to take out the last remaining members of the football team the coach and the four boys we haven't got any official word yet if

the rescuers have gone inside the cave again but normally they would go in around ten o'clock in the morning here in thailand which is in an hour from now but it could even be soon to today looking at these land a conditions because the risk of course is that the caves get flooded again they're forced pumping really hard to make sure that this water all goes out again they're also trying to prevent water from the top of the mountain to go inside a cave so they're trying everything to prevent this flooding but of course it's a race against time we heard in your report sunrise acting governor saying that if they could prepare themselves foster the they can work faster but as you say the pressure is increasing because of the incoming rain and all the conditions you mentioned this must be very difficult for the parents of the remaining children. absolutely everyone of course has been thinking all night about these five people the boys and a coach still inside that cave while the understand friends already have been rescued and is a not

a problem because so far the rescuers have been able to take out four boys at a time their plan their equipment their strategy has always been to take out for every day but now there's still five left so they have to work harder and they have to find a solution to take out all five at once because they don't have the luxury of another day as it seems so fast and low for us. thanks very much indeed. a crossing into gaza that provides an economic lifeline to its residents has been shut down by israel the cattle solemn crossing was the only place between gaza and israel for goods could pass humanitarian aid medical supplies and food will still be allowed through but commercial and industrial products will be blocked israel says it's in response to palestinians launching incendiary kites into its territory . be that your government is going to hamas we will immediately use a heavy hand against hamas in the gaza strip in a significant step we will today close it kitty crossing it will be more steps but

i will not elaborate hamas has called israel's decision a crime against the palestinian people and has vowed to continue the protests. blocking. the israeli government's decision to close the only terminal leading to the gaza strip is a war crime against our people it will deepen the humanitarian crisis that the people of gaza live shows how the israeli occupation fails in dealing with peaceful marches it also shows how when you mean netanyahu is only able to understand the palestinians you know try to question the palestinian people but we will continue the marjorie's until we achieve our target of breaking the seeds of the gaza strip . has more from west to receive them. this measure from the israeli government has come as something of a surprise given all the talk there had been in recent weeks and months about trying to improve the situation humanitarian economic situation inside gaza for security reasons that have been the argument of the israeli army it has been the

argument we understand of jason green glass and jarred cushion of the u.s. envoys who were here recently trying to get some international and israeli support for some sort of restructuring inside gaza economic assistance to try and stave off this security problems and indeed give some traction potentially to donald trump's middle east peace plan yet to be public published instead we have this announcement from israeli prime minister in which he said he was acting with a heavy hand against hamas because of the continuing use of kites and balloons carrying incendiary devices burning material over the gazan border and into his release israeli territory where forests and fields have been burned for many weeks now there have been a good deal of pressure on him to act more firmly from his own coalition partners but this action will also be felt hugely by the two million residents inside gaza the four hundred or so trucks and day that come to care i'm sure shallow as it's known in israel. as it's known to the palestinians they bring all sorts of goods

humanitarian goods food livestock animal feed medicine will still be allowed through but all industrial commercial goods will be banned the gaza chamber of commerce has told us that that will be catastrophic to the gazan economy there will be millions of dollars worth of goods stranded on the israeli side prices will spike inside gaza already gazan unemployment is running at more than forty percent the economy has been teetering on the brink of collapse so we're told by numerous analysts over recent weeks and months this could be a decisive measure and one which could further destabilize gaza turkish president or tie up out of one has been sworn in for a second term and has already named his new cap. but it is eggs office with sweeping new powers after a controversial referendum on the role of the president and april last year so tim costello reports from the capital ankara. with

warned it will retaliate against any nato expansion on its western flank part my gotten this is the dream of all military people including me and i believe many many people and poland citizens for the last thirty years were dreamt we're dreaming about because since we joined nato we first kind of like a second great member or second second well second great member of the of the alliance because we could not have. permanent or even temporary and nato bases here the monuments in warsaw marking the second world. war show all too clearly why the poles want to shelter under the wings of washington six million of their citizens died most of them civilians under the successive occupations by nazi germany and the soviet union and the poles are very conscious that one of the reasons why. the

second world war happened why they suffered so much was because of the facts not just the lack of security guarantee because those were actually in place but the actual lack of real armed forces that could have defended poland when called the day. after the turbulent g. seven summit and maybe not enough diplomatic paper to cover the cracks in this week's nato summit whatever the outcome though poland hopes to benefit the most david chaytor al-jazeera was. six civilians including four children have been killed in an airstrike by the saudi america coalition in yemen it happened near ties in the southwest of the country coalition air support is being used to back again many government troops who are trying to defeat hooty rebels syrian government forces have surrounded rebel held parts of their our city with the uprising against president bashar al assad began seven years ago the siege comes just three days after russia brokered cease fire but rebels say russia hasn't made

good on one of the key promises of the truce so in the heart of reports from beirut . most of the dead are provinces now under government control tens of thousands of displaced people have returned to their villages they left makeshift camps close to the border with jordan after a cease fire deal between the rebels and the russian military which has been negotiating on behalf of damascus but there are tens of thousands of others who are still camped out along the border with the israeli occupied golan heights. some of them are wanted by the syrian authorities for engaging in opposition activities it is risky for them to return without international guarantees. the people here are really shocked from what's been happening lately we can't believe how rebels have been handing over territory to the government with no real guarantees the russians for example guaranteed government forces would leave for towns under the cease fire deal those troops have been left and people can go back

they fear arrest and executions and now some of them are under siege the rebel controlled part of the divided city of daraa is surrounded by government troops a few thousand people are trapped inside among them fighters their family members and members of the opposition rebel commander say the russian military is violating the cease fire deal by failing to provide safe passage to those who don't want to reconcile with the state they were supposed to be bussed to the opposition held areas and the norse that evacuation may now happen on tuesday. government forces are already in control of more than seventy percent of our province either through military force or surrender deals the opposition was in a difficult position the rebels didn't get any support from their regional international allies they were divided and they faced what they described as a scorched earth policy the government and its allies are close to regaining complete control of the province where the uprising against president bashar assad's rule began over seven years ago they have taken most of the areas along the

jordanian border except for the yarmouk valley under the control of the eisel affiliate armed group. and they consolidated control over the last strip of the main highway to the syrian capital damascus their target is not just that are they also want rebel areas in the neighboring province of connector they have the upper hand and the government is on the road to a final victory in the south. beirut about seventy percent of that our province has now been recaptured by syrian government forces including the main border crossing with jordan the now crossing connects a trade route that runs from turkey and lebanon down to the arabian peninsula ballots with reports on the impact the reopening is expected to have on jordan's struggling economy. five thousand trucks a month used to rumble across this border between jordan and syria then the civil

war started starving the jordanian economy of four hundred million dollars a year in trade the it really did that it's had a huge effect here with business from shipping people had jobs now they are sat at home when the border all balloons this area will flourish one and a half billion dollars worth of goods a year pass through this border before it closed now it's syrup governments across the region but especially in lebanon and syria and here in jordan on the border reopened again as soon as possible. jordan is desperate for revenue nationwide protests in early june forced the government to abandon tax rises and employment is over eighteen percent the highest it's been in twenty five years and there are more than six hundred fifty thousand syrian refugees living here we have meager resources the fact that the government is is almost bankrupt they cannot invest more money in developing the infrastructure so the jordanians have to share

their weak infrastructure with hundreds of thousands of refugees in the last four years six hundred eighty million dollars has been lost in transit fees alone from cargo heading north and south they have been. forced to go with by sea and that has. put major financial pressures on it because of the extra costs and not only the time the considerable extra time that it requires to transport these shipments and cargoes so once that is the zoomed and there is a recovery of that. you will see say going. between the two countries. reopening the border also helps the syrian government rebuild its economy and that further cements the return of bashar al assad's control over

his shattered country. bernard smith al-jazeera on the jordan syria border rescuers in japan are combing through mud and debris in the search for more than eighty people missing after unprecedented rains one hundred twenty six people are already confirmed dead but that toll is expected to rise in the coming days prime minister shinzo has cancelled an upcoming foreign trip to oversee the disaster robert bryant reports in ok i'm a perfect prefecture but it's one of the worst hit areas. this was the first day. and his father could return to see what's left of his house and possessions he abandoned it with his wife and young children in the middle of the night still waters inundated his neighborhood. we were told to evacuate so that's what we did we took nothing little sick cept what we had on. he showed us how the waters quickly rose to the upper floor of his house his father can't remember rains like

it. because i've never experienced anything like this he is not a city that is prone to disasters this part of the city was one of the worst affected areas here as elsewhere the river simply couldn't handle the incredible surge of water and it broke its banks in three places inundating thousands of homes and sadly claiming lives with the break in the weather and waters receding emergency teams have stepped up their efforts to look for the missing the rising death toll has already made this one of the most lethal storms japan has experienced in decades at its height a broad swathe of western and southern japan were affected stretching emergency teams to the limits many people couldn't escape the unprecedented rainfall in time and had to be rescued thousands of people remain displaced wondering when they can

go home along the banks of the river in karate pumps work around the clock to bring down water levels in the coming days for the cold water family rebuilding their lives will take a lot longer. and it's hard to express my feelings in words tatsuya tells us but he hopes he'll never have to again. or i'm a bride is live for us in rob the scale of these floods is absolutely staggering i know the situation there is changing all the time what's the latest. that's right we are back in the same areas corral should be the outskirts of the city which is right next to this river that burst its banks and there is an awful lot of activity here as you would prefer. basically a lot of people are first for the first time returning to their homes in the last day or so the waters have receded they can now actually access their homes and it's a pretty pitiful sight in all of the streets around here households going back

seeing what they can salvage of their possessions for the most part putting up with it with a quiet dignity if you like going through all of their possessions what they can salvage but there are still thousands of people who are in evacuation centers are going to be a long time rob before people can actually move back in here and as we've mentioned there also this break in the weather allows the emergency teams now to come to places like this i have to go from house to house trying to account for all the people who are unaccounted for and sadly going through debris is the death toll mounts that says that the number of those people will have lost their lives and that's just in this one city you've got to bear in mind that given the extent of this job this was a vast ways of southern and western japan that was affected so these scenes are being repeated in communities in cities throughout this part of japan just to give you a sense of the kind of water that came through here this this city behind me this railway bridge now the people here tell us that at the height of the flood the

water actually came up to where the top of the railway bridge is so this is these are low rise houses in this area water quickly inundated the bottom floors but then also the upper floors for the most part people will want to evacuate they heeded those warnings sadly some people either were too slow to get out all decided to stay and those were the people that we saw being rescued off rooftops over the weekend and also sadly probably some of the people who will now have lost their lives across japan suffered a history of course of natural disasters how is it coping with this one. this is a greek economy here in the word unprecedented people cannot remember this sort of rainfall in their own lifetimes you're absolutely right that japan is no stranger to natural disasters but it was just the amount of rain that they experienced we hear three hour period for example some communities got twenty six centimeters not

that much rain in just three hours now no matter how good your disaster preparations your drainage systems are when you get that amount of rainfall you simply will have flooding and that's what has happened here has been some criticism possibly that the local authorities were not quick enough to attack the way people but these are cities that do have disaster planning that have maps of which areas are going to flood and it has to be said that actually the areas that they would expect the flood did indeed flood but you can look around and you talk to some people here and we've just been talking to one family who were putting possessions back in the home the family of one of the young sons we were talking to saying he's never experienced any rest any rain like this he doesn't know whether he wants to carry on living here it does seem if you talk to people here anecdotally at least they do believe that these the.
