bomb in pakistan kills a prominent politician and fourteen other people. and in sports nine hundred ninety eight world champions france beat belgium at the world cup giving them a shot at title number two. what was once thought to be mission impossible has now become a mission accomplished after seventeen days trapped deep inside a flooded cave system all twelve tie boys on the football coach have been rescued an elite team of divers succeeded in navigating dangerous passages to bring them all out safely jamelle alan dorgan has more from shanghai. after their seventeen day underground ordeal all twelve points and their coach saw daylight for the first time. thank you and

a massive international rescue effort that made headlines worldwide it began as a local search and ended after experts from many countries flew in to help. one knee. high. today team thailand government officials and the private sector as well as the media members and the world's mobile support we must do something that we've never expected we could do well first and that means. this search began on june the twenty third when the football team and their coach were reported missing after day gone exploring in a cave. so when shal rain flooded the cave system delaying the search for days the first contact was made with the team more than a week after disappearing expert divers found them alive in darkness sheltering on the dry ledge they were hungry but in stable condition the boys were given food and

medicine for minor wounds getting them out was going to be complicated initial reports said it could take months and experts debated the best options. rescuers pumped millions of liters of water out of the cave complex while mountaineers continue to look for a safer exit above the dangers were enormous a former tiny the seal diver died after running out of oxygen four days ago then on sunday the first success with the rescue of four boys and another four on monday then on tuesday afternoon confirmation that all twelve boys and their coach were safe. from fear to cautious optimism then to relief and celebration. all of them are no under medical supervision for a week in this hospital here in chiang rai two of the children have contracted long

infection and they are receiving medication while laboratory tests done and everybody is expected to last for several days at this point we don't know for sure whether they have been physically reunited with their families since they are still under quarantine we were told though that their family some of the parents were able to see their children through glass windows but again the reunification is something that is everyone here that everyone here has been looking forward to and that is something that is expected to come in about a week or so u.s. president on trump says meeting vladimir putin may be the easiest part of his three nation european tour this week he's just arrived in brussels for so brussels for what's likely to be a contentious and nato summit with america's traditional allies then it's on to the u.k. for his first official visit there and finally to finland for a face to face meeting with the russian leader he's vowed that european countries

won't take advantage of the u.s. accusing them again of not spending enough in defense. dado was going to get there early but i think we'll work something out very far too much as a safeguard your little but we will work it out. the old country will be happy in the u.k. that's the situation as we go forward for a while. so i have a go. i have the u.k. which is somewhat turmoil. very. frankly maybe you stumble would say well ahead of the summit the european council president said the u.s. ought to remember who's friends are the america up to shape your life after all you don't have the money. you europe spend them all on your defense because every one of specter lied that if the well prepared and they creeped money

is important about general solidarity of an important our diplomatic editor james bays has more of 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. to tell nato you get is paying your bills the united states thank you thank you thank you last year on his first trip to nato trump was far from diplomatic here he pushes past montenegro's 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 what. but we're protecting you and it means a lot more to you they're protecting us because i don't know how much for texture we get by protecting the partnership between angela merkel and president trump is 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 donald trump on is assertions over defense spending she's very defensive over this issue

she will point to limited increases in german defense spending as leaders arrive here in brussels the nato secretary general has been making the case for smily yet diplomatically why the u.s. needs twenty eight hour lies nato is a force multiplier for united states allies have stood with deny to states on battles for 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 treaty was signed in washington never has there been a u.s. president who sent such mixed messages about his commitment to it james pais al-jazeera brussels or just a she's a former state department official who served as

a foreign policy advisor on both the obama and hillary clinton presidential campaigns is joining us now from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for your time we heard donald tusk there saying that money was important but genuine solidarity was even more important do you think that that is going to play out with donald trump. solidarity is certainly lacking at this stage and it probably will continue to be lacking throughout the meetings and in the fallout from this summit that is highly disturbing to the foreign policy establishment here in washington both sides of the aisle republican and democrat it's highly disturbing to our allies and it's disturbing to other friends and partners around the world everyone needs a united west starting with the west but also including asia the middle east and other parts of the world this looks like a disaster in the making just like we had a couple weeks ago with a guard to north korea and the g seven what do you think is the worst case scenario

in this by far the worst case would be what terrifies the allies the most that trump will pull troops out of poland or germany or both that he will renege on the article five commitments itzhak against one is that attack against all that he may cancel exercises and verbal abuse at least half of the alliance that will be very disturbing indeed it will lead to questions whether nato is still intact. many of the people who are going to be at this meeting were also at the meeting at the g seven meeting that we saw in canada when donald trump was very insulting to them then given the fact that there is a great deal at stake as you've described here will people be able to treat this these negotiations in isolation or is there going to be an antipathy that has already been created by donald trump that's going to get in the way of these talks

i think that's precisely correct and already has allies have been responding you just played an earlier clip of donald. using the right message explaining probably to deaf ears here in washington to the white house to this president that in fact allies are important that the u.s. gets some of its security from its allies both their diplomacy and their defense capabilities what we have here are a bunch of leaders the old us allies of the us in history and they are not just insulted they are aligned they have been undermined and now their interests are being threatened if this particular summit fails by any of these measures these allies will start to define the u.s. as not an ally of theirs but as a threat to them already they believe donald trump is harming their core national

security interests are mentioning earlier on that donald trump's going to be heading at some point to finland to talk to russian president vladimir putin how do you think vladimir putin is regarding all of this he is sitting back putting one leg on top of the other and toasting some vodka with his comrades i mean this is really unimaginable at any point in time right up until this one what you have is already president trump seen he's going to meet with president putin one on one and you can just imagine what that meeting is going to consist of thank you donald very much for all you have done for us what now can we do for you i mean it is that bet. russia is the chief beneficiary of all of these unprecedented threatening moves coming from this administration from this president to this alliance and to our oldest allies i suspect they will

have a toast they will have some caviar they will laugh and they will look at all the destruction and destabilization that they are meeting out on the rest of the world and this will have an effect in the us elections that are coming up the midterm elections you better believe they will donald trump not only with his tariffs which are connected to all of this and part of his grievance with the alliance but this too on top of another stack of things are going to make it difficult for republicans at the midterm elections given the fact that donald trump has made no secret of his and to put the towards groups like the g seven and they too and so on at some point he will not be president of the united states anymore how long is it going to take to undo all of that and try and mend the fences that have been broken it's going to take an extraordinary amount of time when i was in the state department i remember the first year after the bush administration when we met with

our oldest allies these very same countries they had had it with us they sort of welcomed us back to the table of good nations but when we ways our hand to lead they wanted us clearly to do penance and it took about eight months to ten months below the cabinet level at every serious mirror major u.s. agency state defense the rest. and we had to do it person by person based on deeds not words i can't imagine what it will be like for those who take over from this presidency and meet our allies once again in a very destabilized world and i might add this the middle east has a lot at stake here not just europe the middle east needs a united west they need the us ship of state to be steered in a clear and strong durable manner in particular the sunni states need the u.s. and its allies to be unified in fact on the other side of this it's also

something that is on the agenda of the west or it should be the west needs a unified middle east the g.c.c. needs to welcome back qatar it needs to move past the current crisis and then together the g.c.c. needs to move out and begin to become a more effective force multiplier in both diplomacy and ultimately possibly in military terms as well all these regions and all these alliances need one another the stakes are very high right at this point in time so we appreciate your time jeff stacy thank you very much indeed my pleasure police in pakistan say a prominent politician is one of fourteen people killed in a suicide bomb attack in the city of peshawar officials say the bomber targeted a political rally killing the leader of pakistan's awami national party how to move the balloon ballou or who was due to run in local elections later this month at least thirty five others were injured in the blast has this update for us.

medicine livestock fuel and food bishops' a cost as humanitarian goods exempted from the closure but that means no raw 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 economic decline has already seen production hard here in the last year staff cut by a third that was the most fun but 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 fill my orders from the west bank or 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 u.n.

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 salary cuts imposed by the palestinian authority as it too tries to pressurize 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 rougher 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. the raf a 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 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 ten after twelve years of blockade the squeeze on gaza's two million people is intensifying very force it out easier gaza haitians are cleaning debra from the streets of the capital following days of violent protests over fuel price hikes businesses were looted and dozens of buildings burned in unrest that saw at least four protesters killed as followed the friday government announcement that fuel

prices would increase up to fifty percent that hikes now being cancelled people are demanding president steps down the governor on his own who has more from the haitian capital port au prince. coal has been restored to the streets of 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 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. still ahead on al-jazeera the trumpet ministrations struggles to explain why it contrary unite the parents and children that separated at the u.s. border. in japan the rain has stopped but the death toll from the floods in the south passes a hundred and fifty. and christiane on aldo is trading spain for italy and a big money move tachyon is going to all the details and the support.

billion dollars worth of chinese goods the republican chairman of the senate finance committee has called the move reckless the white house says the new measure may be finalized after two months of public discussion tuesday was the court ordered deadline for the trumpet administration to reunite parents and children under five who were separated at the mexican border by immigration authorities the white house admitted only a fraction of the families will be placed back together now the federal judge who ordered the reunions is not happy shihab rattansi reports from washington d.c. . at least one reunification of a father and his young child by tuesday's federally ordered deadline was captured on camera but the u.s. government admitted it would fail to reunite all migrant children under five with the parents it took away the government says of the some one hundred children in its custody just over a third of that number would definitely be reunited with parents by the end of

tuesday officials said some parents have been passed background checks to ensure the child safety d.n.a. testing to confirm the relationship of parent and child wasn't complete in some cases and some parents have been released into the us or deported making it logistically difficult for families to be re-united but the federal judge who mandated the reunions was not impressed judge danish ordered that sixty three children be reunited by the end of tuesday he ordered that the process of matching parents and children be streamlined expedited d.n.a. testing used only if no supporting documentation could be provided by parents and for the eight children whose parents had been released into the us to be reunited immediately and an important consideration to keep in mind here is which of these screening procedures the government is undertaking are really necessary and legitimate here and which ones of visa procedures are really delaying tactics the judge said that if the trumpet ministration failed to meet his tuesday deadline it

would have to specify reasons to the american civil liberties union by thursday the a.c.l.u. could then contest those reasons in court on friday with the possibility of a penalty being levied against the government if it was found to have acted in bad faith back in washington president trump seemed untroubled by the chaos has zero tolerance immigration policy is unleashed on legal asylum seekers and their children have a solution tell people not to come to our country illegally this was supposed to be the comparatively easy a deadline for the government to meet but it failed the next deadline is july twenty sixth all some three thousand migrant children over the age of four in u.s. custody are to be reunited with their parents by then she. susan pi is an immigration attorney she's joining us now on skype from jacksonville in florida thank you very much and did for giving us your time on al-jazeera in

your opinion do you think that there is any truth in the suggestion that the government is using delaying tactics in this process i don't think they're bullish and only using delay tactics but i will tell you what the public doesn't know is that there has never been any kind of systemic reunification in place well before but this happen even when the child and appearance are both courted they have never been able to. provide even deport children supportive parents i don't think anybody would disagree with the government suggestion that obviously or certainly the immigration authorities suggestion but particular checks should be carried out to ensure the safety of the children i mean eight parents upon me have serious criminal histories five adults found not to be the biological parents one case of credible child abuse but what

happens to the legal status of the children who are caught up in this you know so it's really interesting because the treatment ministration has come out and said that. if the parent is deported and chapman still in the u.s. government custody if the child is then placed in foster care out for example to an american couple that they consider that that child has been effectively reunified his or her parents so i speak it is just a legal fiction that the government is working with in order to do exactly what trump said he was trying to do by the zero tolerance policy and families gratian first place which is send out a message to all asylum seekers that you are not welcome in the united states and we will actively persecute the persecuted as you say that's a very clear statement that the top administration has been making but of course it's the immigration of authorities and the border patrol's who've been trying to

carry this out and they've been bearing a lot of the flak for the way that this is being handled how much do you think that this is causing some sort of split if you like between those organizations and the administration i can tell you that privately department of homeland security personnel is for the most part just as. you know embarrassed and ashamed that our country is not treating children irrespective of where they're from in a humanitarian a way no matter where they lie us that trouble that i think that miller absolutely orchestrated this having worked with him personally the past and i just really don't think that either he or trial or sessions i don't think that they actually care i think that that is part of the whole systemic branding of grants are less than animals and i think it's very hard and i think it's very this is on

the part of the administration as we're seeing these care of court cases come to pos and the judgments be being made to try to reunify the families is there a suggestion do you think that the trump administration feel that the their policy or their intention shall we say to use this as a threat to potential illegal migrants is being weakened and therefore are we likely to see this continue but in a slightly different but possibly equally strong form absolutely we have just seen the beginning of the depths to which this administration will go in order to effectively seal our words what they should be focusing on is the underlying crisis of global migration crisis which is displacing sixty eight point five million people and counting that is what they need to be focusing on instead of just stealing our borders because this problem goes far beyond the boundaries of the united states. one of the issues and correct me if i'm wrong on this but one of

the issues that i get the impression is part of the problem is actually the ability of the immigration officials and homeland security in the border controls to be able to manage the number of people who are trying to come into the u.s. legally i understand that part of the issue is that people do try to come in. forgive me try to come in legally but then have a delay in the process and then get frustrated and then attempt to come in illegally is there something that can be done do you think some some change in the process that could allow the whole thing to at least speed up and maybe avoid this pro this process of separating children from their families yes i think. it's very important what you're doing and what other outlets are doing which is saying that you must present the only at a port of entry no matter how long you have to wait there at the port of entry must

present legally in order to avoid being taken into custody for the federal crime or illegal entry so a lot of unfortunately organizations for whatever reasons they are telling people that you know you can present a valid us outplaying even when you surrender border patrol after the after illegally entering the country that's true but that will result in the person being taken into federal custody prosecuted for the federal crime and then facilitating the aeration of the children and parents i think that the one thing that the public can be it can do is to continue to elucidate to the public that now please don't cross illegally into the united states present legally out port of entry and yes donald is the champ and ministration drawing wenches into the system by meeting people across the bridge and telling them where passerby we can't process over twenty people a day so you'll just have to wait you're absolutely they are the lesser of two evils susan pay very interesting to get your view on this thank you very much

indeed for your time thank you i new political battle is brewing in washington because of donald trump's choice to fill a vacancy on the supreme court but common knowledge nomination to the highest court in the u.s. is being opposed by democrats they say it's an attempt by the u.s. president to make the court more conservative and right wing. not only did mr cavanaugh say that a president should not be subpoenaed he said the president shouldn't be investigated mr cavanaugh is the president above the law. and he went even further and made the incredulous statement that if the president deemed a law to be unconstitutional we shouldn't follow it that would be bad if anyone were president but with donald trump who has shown so little respect for rule of law for balance of power for dispersion of power. this is

extremely dangerous and yet for publicans are doing their democrat colleagues to give a chance present trump has made an outstanding choice he has kept his commitment to the american people his selection of a nominee with deep experience on the law and an understanding of the proper role of a judge under our constitution that it be more resignations from prime minister to these amazing ruling party over her strategy for break that in the u.k. two senior conservatives are now stepping down just a day after briggs it negotiated david davis and foreign secretary boris johnson both quit for the same reason john holl reports. trooping into downing street a brand new minister in charge of brakes it dominic robb and the brand new foreign minister jeremy hunt at a meeting of her revamped cabinet this was a display of to resume a's authority after an especially bill and few days. but

with further conservative party resignations on tuesday afternoon it's clear she's not on safe ground yet and in the current state of british politics living to fight another day can mean little more than just that at a press conference later the prime minister wasn't in the mood for answering difficult questions about the state of her government speaking alongside german chancellor angela merkel she offered only general comments about a smooth and orderly brix it on the issue of where we are in terms of the checkers agreement and the proposal that will be coming out in more detail later this week with the white paper that absolutely keep faith with the british people get a start on what matters now is that the negotiating process moves forward and the fact that the u.k. will present a white paper represents a big step words of cautious optimism there from chancellor merkel for tourism a and her new break plan that in visitors keeping close trade ties with the e.u.

negotiations kick off again in earnest next week but with just months to go before the u.k. formally exits the block it may well be that negotiators are just pleased they're finally is a plan recent days have seen two senior ministers resign in protest at the plan the probe figures say limits the u.k.'s ability to strike trade deals outside the e.u. and binds the u.k. to e.u. rules without having any say in them in his resignation letter former foreign minister boris johnson said that would make the u.k. a colony the dream of brics it he said is dying to resume a meanwhile said she was looking forward to getting on with a busy week england in the semifinals of the world cup u.s. president donald trump on a u.k. visit. one hundred years since the birth of the royal air force the prime minister trying to give the impression of a leader not in crisis jonah whole al-jazeera london. more than two dozen pro
