12:09 am
the people here believing that the golden generation can keep going for just a couple more years but it's only disappoint it's an eye for the belgian supporters who had so much expectation for that. i thank you very much and all the latest that from o'bannon you with the news hour live from london much more still ahead dozens of migrant children under the age of five still separated from their parents despite the u.s. government saying it will need to choose day deadline to woo nine thousand. two vice jazz from trees amaze conservative party become the latest to quit over the prime minister's breaks it struck. and then later in sport twenty three time grand slam champion serena williams to the semifinals at wimbledon and close to an eighth title. at least in pakistan say a prominent politician has been killed along with eleven all those in

12:13 am
to shade your allies after all you don't have the money and europe spend more on your defense because everyone expects a little light that this well prepared as i quipped money's important about generally that was even more important diplomatic editor james bays has more on what we can expect from the summit. president trump arriving in brussels in eighteen months in office he's not hidden his disdain for international organizations in his sights in recent days the u.s. is most important military alliance he's been tweeting about it and he made these comments at a rally last week in nato when i'm going to tell nato you get is paying your bills the united states. thank you most year on his first trip to nato trump was far from diplomatic here he pushes past montenegro's
12:14 am
prime minister he denounced allies who did not but the nato target to spend at least two percent of the gross domestic product on defense twenty one out of the twenty nine nato members are still not over this threshold last week trump wrote blunt letters to some of his counterparts at this year's meeting watch carefully his interactions with canada's prime minister justin trudeau who he called very honest and week after last month's g. seven summit but his meeting with another leader could be even more difficult just listen to him again at last week's rally and i said you know. i can't guarantee. that we're protecting you and it means a lot more to you then protecting us because i don't know how much protection we get by protecting you the polish between angela merkel and president trump is
12:15 am
certainly at a very low ebb at this time it remains to be seen exactly what happens at the summit but i would suspect that chancellor merkel is going to challenge our donald trump on is assertions over defense spending she's very defensive over this issue she will point to a limited increases in german defense spending. leaders arrived here in brussels the nato secretary general has been making the case for stability yet diplomatically why the u.s. needs its twenty eight are allies nato is a force multiplier for united states our's have stood with you not to states on buckles free and battlefields from korea to afghanistan the pentagon has reportedly been reviewing u.s. troop numbers in germany in recent weeks the white house has since denied there will be reductions but some u.s. allies are worried it's almost seventy years since the alliance was formed the
12:16 am
treaty was signed in washington never has there been a u.s. president who sent such mixed messages about his commitment to it james pays zero brussels donald trump's government says that it's complying with a court deadline to reunite migrant toddlers with their families this is despite admitting that seventy five of one hundred two children under five who were separated from their parents are eligible for unions and of those only thirty eight are likely to be back with either their mother or their father by the end of the day a judge had imposed a deadline of choose day for the government to ensure that all of those children were back with their relatives speaking to reporters at the white house earlier the president pushed back against court rulings opposing his administration's migrant detention policies. over social help people not from your country illegally that's the solution don't come to our drug real wriggly come like other
12:17 am
people do come here legally. gregory chan is the director of the advocacy at the american immigration lawyers association and joins us now from washington can you start by explaining the obstacles and the challenges to a swift free union of these young children with their parents. well thank you have you for having me on the program today i think the most important point to emphasize here is that this crisis of three thousand children now who are separated from their parents is one that was really created by the trumpet ministration it has never been done on such a massive scale before of separating so many thousands of children from their parents and the fact is the administration is now being forced under court order from two judges to court orders that say that the immigration officials cannot hold these families indefinitely and it cannot separate these parents from their children and the administration was not prepared it had no procedure set in place
12:18 am
to try to make sure that these parents and families with their children could be reunified and now it needs to go through the process of screening and making sure that these parents are the legitimate caregivers of their children and that they're suitable that is a standard procedure but it's never been done on such a large scale of three thousand families and they will have to interview the children in the parents and make sure that there are proper steps taken but i suppose that's the point isn't it that now that the government is in this situation they have to be careful about it they have to identify the parents locate them and conduct background checks to make sure that they're protecting the children the kids are being handed over to the right people. that's right and one of the initial problems was that the government never intended to reunify these parents with their children and hadn't kept the adequate records to make sure that when they did the separation that they could reconnect the dots between who was the parent of
12:19 am
a particular child and now they're going through the screening process that you referenced and an important consideration to keep in mind here is which of these screening procedures the government is undertaking are really necessary illegitimate here and which ones of these procedures are really delayed tactics i'll give one example which is the d.n.a. testing that is now being asked of many of these families to make sure that there's a biological relationship between the parent and the child that should not be established as a requisite requirement in all these cases there are many other ways to determine whether or not a parent is the legitimate parent of a child or a legal guardian of a child who can be released with that that adult and so we want to make sure that the government does not engage in dili tactics because we know as the president just said a moment ago that he fundamentally does not want families asylum seekers to come to this country because he thinks asylum for example itself is
12:20 am
a loophole which runs completely contrary to u.s. law and our obligations internationally under treaty to provide asylum for those who are coming here fleeing persecution so now we know that a federal judge has rejected the prospect of any long term detention of migrant children so that's one thing what can you tell us about some of the conditions these very very young children have been under not just in terms of detention but also. reports of some of them being forced to attend court hearings how does how does that work. so first we need to distinguish what kind of attention were in when these families arrive and are separated in border stations managed by the customs and border protection agency they are placed in what are referred to as dog pounds put at us which are huge warehouses that are separated by chain link fences and children sleeping on floors on gnats with just
12:21 am
little space blankets to heat them conditions are really terrible they are then supposed to be released into the care of responsible adult that's the requirement under u.s. law but what is now happening is that many of these children are being sent to other kinds of facilities which have been used in the past to care for these children on a longer term basis until some kind of unification or long term plan can be set up but because there are so many children we know that the government is exploring other kinds of options tent cities for example that would be completely inappropriate and the long term basis for these children that's why these judges are demanding that the government set up a new procedures to reunify the children with the parents and to make sure these parents and children are released and that question of release is critical to emphasize here the government does not need to be detaining all of these parents we're talking about three thousand families here and as
12:22 am
a matter of law the government is supposed to release parents from detention unless there is some specific reason that the specific migrant might pose a security threat or not show up for court but unless the government can demonstrate that these parents should be released that they can be together with their children and not in government custody being paid for by american taxpayers by the way right thank you very much giving us some insight into the process and the delays gregory chen from the american immigration lawyers association. now to haiti people are cleaning up the streets of the capital after three days of violent protests of a fuel price hikes businesses were looted dozens of buildings burned in unrest this sort least for protesters killed it followed the government's announcement on friday that fuel prices would increase by up to fifty percent that order has now been canceled but people are demanding the immediate resignation of the president as you have been at y.c. . from the haitian capital port au prince. coal has been restored to the streets of
12:23 am
haiti but make no mistake about it this is still a country that is in deep political crisis and haitians are mad they're mad at this proposed fuel increase that was proposed by the government it would have been a thirty eight percent increase in gasoline forty seven percent increase in diesel fuel and an over fifty percent increase in kerosene kerosene would have been particularly devastating. an increase in the price of that particularly to poor people because they rely on kerosene to power their stove and also electricity for their homes these gasoline increases would have had a ripple effect through out the country a country where. hundreds of thousands of people make less than a dollar a day and that's why we saw these protests some of the most intense protests we've seen here in this country for many years the government says that these these rate
12:24 am
increases were necessary to fund projects such as a building of more than three thousand kilometers of roads throughout the country as well as other projects as well but right now there is still many haitians that are calling for both the president and prime minister to step down so far neither has given any indication they plan to do so soulsby hospital says the british man who was exposed to the deadly now the child nerve agent has regained consciousness officials say charlie riley has experienced a small but significant improvement and is now in a critical but stable condition the forty five year old was poisoned along with dawn stages who died on sunday the nerve agent used on the pad was the same type that the former russian spy service cripple and his daughter were targeted with in launch. well i've been more as a nation's hear from trees amazing conservative party over the prime minister's breaks it strategy to vice chair say they are now questioning his after breakfast

saudi arabia says who's the rebels have tried to attack the port city of jism near the border with yemen state media says saudi forces have intercepted a missile fired by the rebels who sees a launch dozens of missiles at saudi arabia in recent months in response to the saudi led operation to drive them out of yemen meanwhile at least forty six people in the yemeni push of a day to have died from cholera in just under a month u.n. spokesman farhan hucks says the fatalities occurred between june thirteenth and july seventh is said conditions in the west in yemen he says he'd been was sinning contributing to an increase in disease the world health organization says the conditions and what they had even before the escalation of the conflict has been some of the direst in yemen with a those registered the highest incidence of suspected cholera cases around forty percent of reported cases countrywide since the start of the epidemic in april two thousand and seventeen and diptheria two hundred nine suspected cases in addition
12:33 am
there have been two hundred fifty two suspected cases of measles. u.s. has criticized israel the only crossing point to get goods into gaza in response to palestinians don't bring in century kites across the border only humanitarian aid medical supplies and food being allowed in and lastly to say shutting the crossing is a crime against the palestinian people are a force it is that. the day after the israeli government decision and the effect was clear a substantial reduction in the traffic coming into gaza from the cargo crossing with israel lorries we saw were mainly carrying animal feed which along with medicine livestock fuel and food to shops the cost is humanitarian goods exempted from the closure but that means no rule materials for businesses like this textile firm in gaza city the closure also means no chance to export the finished product to the occupied west bank which accounts for forty percent of the business gaza's
12:34 am
economic decline has already seen production hard here in the last year staff cut by a third in the far harder for the must find a lot of this decision means it's more likely that i'll have to close my factory fifty to sixty workers will lose their jobs i won't be able to fulfill my orders from the west bank or be able to produce for the local market so the decision for us for the whole of the gaza strip is catastrophic. israel's prime minister announced the action as a response to the continuing use of kites and balloons carrying incendiary material which for months now have been flown from gaza into israeli territory thousands of hectares of israeli farmland and forests have been burned the un special coordinator on the middle east peace process on tuesday urged hamas to end the practice and called on israel to reverse the border closure saying humanitarian goods were no substitute for commerce and trade gaza's official unemployment rate already stands at well above forty percent its economy already suffering from
12:35 am
salary cuts imposed by the palestinian authority. as it too tries to pressurise hamas as long as the restrictions remain in place on goods coming through the israeli route the focus will shift to what's just over there the rafa crossing from egypt currently thirty or forty trucks mainly carrying construction goods come through that route each day the question is can egypt become an alternative supply route on a large scale. egypt has unusually kept the crossing open since mid may but experts say relying on egypt to replace what's being lost through the israeli crossing is unrealistic. that the rafa crossing can't be a substitute for kerem shalom because there are lots of goods that we import from the west bank we want to see integration between gaza and the west bank we would want rafa to be an additional crossing not a substitute but for that we need a fully integrated political agreement. earlier on tuesday
12:36 am
a boat carrying injured people attended to sail from gaza as with a similar attempt in may they were intercepted by the israeli navy at the same time as it imposed the new restrictions on the land crossing israel also ended its extension for garza's fishing waters reduced back from fourteen kilometers to turn after twelve years of blockade the squeeze on gaza's two million people is intensifying are a force that al-jazeera gaza. the un says south sudan's government forces have killed and raped hundreds of civilians in areas held by the opposition three military commanders are accused of burying the greatest responsibility in violence that broke out in unity state between april and may the u.n. human rights chief said what they did may amount to war crimes tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced in south sudan's nearly five year civil war. well if european airline says de passenger flights to eritrea is capital
12:37 am
will resume next tuesday the first in twenty years the announcement came a day on. after the two countries signed an agreement declaring their state of war over u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorist has praised the peace deal and pledged u.n. support he also signaled that long term u.n. sanctions against eritrea might be lifted if the reasons that led to. the same choices. exist that is just depends on the specific legion of those ancient. or fine lines across the border of already been reconnected as a result of the peace deal allowing separated families to speak for the first time in twenty is eritrea was previously a province of ethiopia after a thirty year war for independence it seceded in one thousand nine hundred three bytes relations deteriorated and one thousand nine hundred eight to two thousand war between the two countries killed an estimated eighty thousand people and that war began ethiopia put more than seventy thousand citizens of eritrean origin on
12:38 am
buses and trucks to eritrea with papers marked expelled never to return is in these families were finally able to reconnect the turmoil in the region also prompted hundreds of thousands of young people to flee seeking safety and opportunities in europe or joining in the studio now is activist so lemmon hussain he is the chairperson of citizens for democratic rights farah trains thank you very much for coming in to speak to us so how has the restoration of this relationship between ethiopia and eritrea impacted the people. it's and segment situation you have seen in the congress but before you go head to the editor was actually an exabyte you are going to the u.n. resolution made it clear for the reason that you're here and me the provisions and it was not the province so which is the root cause for the city of independence that took place in in the unit randy here but to complete your question yes.
12:39 am
the destructive war that lawsuit to your does and course it over seventy or eighty thousand lives and millions of displaced people and continued in another form no war no peace to come to an end that's a big relief to both the people who the three and the ethiopian so i you somewhat surprised at how quickly things have changed you have speaking there about flights resuming phone lines being we connected what is this mean for people who've been separated for all these years for twenty years families that have been torn apart and have been able to communicate properly properly or or see each other. surprised by what's happened in probably you know about surprised by the speed with which it's been in years ever since if you're formally accepted to fully and unconditionally accept the algea this argument. the book the role in it was pretty expected that some sort of religion of peace between the countries
12:40 am
would come. but the speed is probably a bit surprised at this. when we're hearing from the un secretary general antonio terrace he is speaking about sanctions possibly being lifted on eritrea but nonetheless there are in you concerned about that if it would ease some of the pressure in terms of human rights concerns and violations of that what's happened now to the contrary what mr gutierrez confirmed through to swab and adults all that the sanctions would put in place is precisely because the put the issue was not the job so instead of the u.n. . putting pressure on the therapy who had suffered refused to implement the rule in chose to impose sanctions on on one party and. and that's the whole mission in fact. but as for the pressure on the government of israel we regard human rights
12:41 am
broadly that's what you mean i don't i don't think the lift in with the fifth even way to the contrary the prevailing of peace between the two countries would put a lot more pressure on the irritant government both internally and externally to implement the constitution to release the pretty prisoners fortune's and political prisoners and most importantly as well to make an end to the open ended nature of the national. military service an era where that has. been put in place since the end of the war initially it was a theme of this but after the war. government you literally made it an open ended and you see the floods of it if we are new in this there is in the us. or the well a great deal of challenges still ahead but thank you very much for shedding some light on this for us appreciate it simon has no you don't have the citizens for
