thirteen degrees as we head through the day it's also going to be cool for us in fancy our go in here that's going to be a good deal of clouds and a few outbreaks of rain as well and there's a chance but during the night a few of those could turn wintry so we could see a fair amount of snow here as we head through wednesday and into thursday even further towards the north in what hispania that we've seen a lot of clouds this develop its word its way towards the west and it's given us some fairly shop downpours more wet weather still to come as we had three choose a hispania that will see some more heavy showers as we will through jamaica and deposit cuba as well towards the west also some very heavy downpours here particularly over costa rica and it's a regular and this system doesn't really head off as we head through wednesday just really spreads further north and more of us will see that rain to the north of all of that to over north america still pretty hot for many of us and in the east still unsettled. weather sponsored by qatar airways. the

world's primary could train producing nation. is at the forefront of the war on drugs we're talking about serious organized crime as a country we're reaching a critical point while some have made fortunes many others have suffered at the hands of this multi-billion dollar industry both of whom are does business will go on forever but for much change almost global policy is the who are the winners and losers of this illicit trade snow with the andes on al-jazeera from the hills of northern greece the places in turkey where refugees hideouts before trying to cross easy to see the crossing countries means crossing be intimidating every street. more and more refugees are attempting this route even though they know how dangerous it is even outside the risk of drowning or dying of cold in these huge empty spaces any number of refugees have told us they've been threatened and forcibly turned around by greek police acting in coordination with from texas the european union for the agency. this eighteen year old syrian was in

a smugglers' boats with his younger sister. the police came up to us in that boat they told us you can't cross they made us turn around the police who previously given us access to their fence and border patrols gave us a statement denying that they turn any refugees around and claim their priority is human dignity. but human rights advocates say they know pushbacks happen all the time and accuse the greek government of breaking international. law. this is al jazeera. hello welcome to the al jazeera news arms the whole robin live in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes syrian refugees are told to turn around and go back after

approaching israeli occupied territory. also donald trump flies home into a storm of criticism of the defending russia or against allegations of election meddling. and troops treatises a brick obama is making its highest profile speech since leaving office marking a century since the birth of anti apartheid leader nelson mandela. and twenty years after it was the stablish to prosecute the world's worst atrocities we look at the legacy and future of the international criminal court. bought into the news more than a hundred syrians have approached the israeli fence that borders the occupied golan heights they appeared to be asking for help or sanctuary from a russian backed syrian army offensive which is recaptured much of the southwest from rebels speaking through

a megaphone an israeli soldier warned them go back we don't want to hurt you the crowd consisting of women and children among them heeded that warning returning slowly to their internal displacement camp not too far away some wave white cloths in the direction of the soldiers well the golan heights has been a flashpoint for decades israel captured it from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven and occupied it ever since the move has never been recognized by the united nations the golan heights gives israel a military advantage and is a key source of water israel has built more than thirty settlements on the territory that speak to stephanie dec who is on her way to the golan heights and stephanie what do we know about this particular group of syrians and why really they might want to approach the border fence with israel being a very sensitive area. well i think that is highlights just the situation they are internally displaced of because they're exactly they are as individuals

but certainly the message of what we know of the people that have fled this ongoing offensive that you mentioned by the syrian government is backed by russia in the south in the area of the united nations estimates over one hundred sixty thousand people have been displaced now their conditions are dire it is incredibly hole at the moment so while there are no aid agencies that work in these areas the borders are closed jordan's borders has water is closed israel has made it very clear as in jordan that they will not be allowing any pressure internally displaced syrians inside the country they have been giving some aid to join the army and getting some aid for certainly it is not enough the other issues with the syrian government and they're taking synergise on a day by day basis the people there been living under rebel control for years many are terrified of any repercussions the syrian army might carry out you have activists there are journalists you have people who simply say that they might get

used and siding with the opposition so this is just one of the many challenges these people i think that is an indication those waving white cloths dissipating they come in peace but again as the borders remain closed no one is around the jordan has any intention of opening them up in the way and of course the situation is very different in terms of the way israel is reacting to these people approaching a border science is a very different scenario to the way they react when palestinians have been approaching the border fence in gaza. yes it is a completely different dynamic the narrative that israel uses when it comes to gaza is not there to meet with hamas to the church organization and when it comes to the chest even though they are not on trial and cast i mean yes the kites go across the border that have meaning micro on them i. spent particular basin stones i'm

a little cup but in line stance if you're pretty confronting the israeli army to the door these are people protesting what they say a decade of occupation and blockade and israel will tell you that they fear that the palestinians will push through the border fence and threaten the community living on fire the narrative of course from gaza is that people just want to have a better life so it's a very different dynamic here. we haven't but we also don't expect the israeli army to open fire on these internally displaced they have in fact been crossing the border they have been giving aid but many kind of things don't tell you that that is double standards for sure but yes because please because in dynamic but again the drama painting perry for most of fighting it cherishes that it will be opening its borders to any syrian internally displaced even if they come very close to the border leaving that enough stuff knowing that you're on your way to that location will come back to you through the al-jazeera day want to get that thank you lama

saka is a human rights watch and the conditions calling for more help for those displaced syrians. these individuals have a right to claim asylum to have their individual circumstances. and to be allowed across the border and if in fact they are refugees which we believe many of them many of our. current circumstances fortunately. there beats are i'm certain you know for many of them they do fear returning to reside in the areas under the control of the syrian government and the options are very limited bill is really enjoyed many governments absolutely have an obligation to not push. us on. sirius that are risking their lives including journalists humanitarian aid workers at these are the kinds of individuals that we know that the syrian government has targeted has detained

has executed these people are quite literally fleeing for their lives meanwhile israel is tightening its siege on almost two million people living in goals are by further restricting the flow of goods into the territory it's planning to burn all fuel imports through the kind of crossing while food and medicine will need permission to go through the cairo. crossing it's the sole commercial link into gaza it's vital for the flow of fuel that's a salary for people who only get up to six hours of electricity a day. israel has also reduced fishing space for gaza's fisherman from six to three nautical miles told stratford has more. human here in gaza have been feeling steadily increasing strangulation over their livelihoods for twelve years since the blockade started it's estimated that around fifty thousand gazan families someway

involved in the fishing business here so you can imagine the kind of impact that it has economically and it's also. stressing having spoken here to the heads of the fisherman's union he says that gaza needs around four thousand tons a year of fish just to sustain its local population he believes that with these new restrictions they'll be lucky to get around eight hundred tons of fish a year i stay in gaza regularly close to this poll you're often woken up in the mornings by israeli gunboats firing warning shots at fishermen close to the shore trying to keep them within these restricted areas the fisherman's union says that since the blockade started at least thirteen people thirteen fishermen have been killed two in this year and around two hundred injured so these new restrictions as you say are going to make their lives in the lives of potentially thousands of gazans even more difficult. well u.s.

president told trump as ride home to the fix criticism from both sides of american politics after siding with the russian president vladimir putin all election meddling speaking after the summit in finland trump even challenged the findings of his own intelligence community from hell thinking here's our diplomatic editor james baines. we face to face ahead of a solo meeting a meeting that lasted over two and a half hours but if you were hoping they would solve any of the world's problems you'll be sorely disappointed instead when they spoke to reporters their comments were dominated by their views on the most toxic political issue in the u.s. an issue that just got more controversial as they seemed mainly to agree on it during today's meeting i addressed directly with president putin the issue of russian interference in our elections i felt this was a message best delivered in person spend a great deal of time talking about it. and president putin may very well want to

address it and very strongly because he feels very strongly about it and here's an interesting idea putin then explained that idea he'd get russian authorities to interview the twelve hackers even though the allegation is they were working on behalf of those same or thoughts is or he said they could set up a joint us russian investigation team with one condition north of the witness which was this kind of reference should be a mutual one and then we would expect that the americans would reciprocate and they've they would question the shoals including the officers of law enforcement and intelligence services of the united states whom we believe who have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of russia trump called that an incredible offer he was then asked a straight question at every u.s.

intelligence agency has concluded that russia did. what hu my first question for you sir is who do you believe remarkably he answered by switching to a completely different subject which is not part of the investigation hillary clinton's e-mails what happened to hillary clinton's e-mails thirty three thousand e-mails gone just gone i think in russia they wouldn't be gone so easily twenty two months after the election he still seems determined to reaffirm the legitimacy of his win i beat hillary clinton easily the electoral college is much more advantageous for democrats as you know than it is to republicans we won the electoral college by a lot one last question was simple yet important. president putin did you want president trump to win the election. yes i did because he talked about bringing the right us relationship back to normal i've lost count of the number of

times over the last eighteen months that i've described comments by president trump as extraordinary but this what was supposed to be a summit between the two most powerful leaders in the world is taking things to a new level the president may have been trying to robustly make his case about the twenty sixteen election but there seems little doubt that he's only made matters worse for himself james al-jazeera helsinki or former cia director john brennan has particularly was particularly scathing of the u.s. president's comments and he tweeted doldrums press conference performance in helsinki right rises to and exceed the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors it was nothing short of treasonous that only works once comments imbecilic he's wholly in the pocket of putin republican patriots where are you. even approach trump u.s. media outlets have slammed the president's performance as victoria gate and he explains. ever since president trump stood side by side with russian president

vladimir putin on monday and announced he was taking patients word over that of his own intelligence community he's faced strong criticism from the u.s. media even presenters on trump's favorite network fox news reacted with outrage his fox business presenter trish ragan this was clearly not his best performance he's done a whole lot better than if he should have defended us he should have defended his own intelligence community her colleague at the network neil cavuto was equally outspoken he called out trump's refusal to condemn russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election and that you need to discuss that that's what media's performance disgusting i'm sorry just another word feel so i write a letter to be as israel or u.s. president on foreign soil. our biggest enemy or adversary or competitor right i don't know how we define them these days is essentially letting the guy get away with this fox news has been

a big supporter of the trumpet ministration and this is the first time so many hosts have publicly question the president's judgment abby huntsman is a presenter on fox and friends and is also the daughter of the u.s. ambassador to russia she tweeted no negotiation is worth throwing your own people and country under the bus away from fox news cnn's anderson cooper opened his panel discussion by strongly criticizing the president's behavior trump regularly refers to c.n.n. as fake news you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president is summit in front of a russian leader. surely that i've ever seen but if trump is facing a storm of criticism in the u.s. that to me putin is fairing rather better the b.b.c. steve rosenberg wrote back home in russia political figures have been lining up to praise the results of the health think the summit. let's go straight over to a white house correspondent kelly holcomb he's been following events i can only

assume kimberly that you've been surprised in a stall dished by what your president really has been saying or been saying on the front that the need to get the right wing media that has supported it has come out in solidarity with what many people believe it was the wrong thing for him to do. right well i'm not astonished because after covering donald trump day in and day out i've come to expect the unexpected this reaches a new level and a new bar and that's why we see so hilda the white house and damage control mode there's no question about it there's been bipartisan public condemnation by members of congress as my colleague pointed out even those who have been staunchly in support of the president fox news host really were left specious at best often the very sharp criticism that we heard just moments ago this also included as the

president arrived back to the united states he was greeted by protesters outside the white house there were chants of live or traitor and this is expected to continue on social media these protesters say they're going to continue these white house protests as a result of this meeting until the president resigns so this is what donald trump faces right now we know that the white house has sent out talking points to conservative supporters and surrogates to try and repair some of the damage that was caused by this public appearance including the argument that the president has always for a year and a half accepted the conclusions of his intelligence agencies and that there is the belief that there needs to be a dialogue between nations but the question is how this reverberations in terms of political follow geo political fallout will play out.
