it is across the world. so many times when you call home al-jazeera international bringing the news and current of families that matter to you. out is iraq. this is al jazeera. hello again piece it over here in doha you are watching the news hour sixty minutes of news and comment today a ruling to reunite families a court order against the united arab emirates over the dispute with cats are this kept the relatives apart. a war of words the language gets more heat as u.s. and iranian leaders trade threats. the deadliest blaze to greece in more than a decade now it's turning to europe for help to fight the flames. if just i'm

a firm time many children have been born trees afraid that look at her now forty years on the medical marvel who was the world's first i.v.s. baby. the un's highest court has described measures taken by the united arab emirates against cats are as racial discrimination it's issued an order in favor of the gulf state over a move that saw families kept apart the u.a.e. is one of four countries that imposed an air land and sea blockade against cata fourteen months ago but the international court of justice says families must be reunited need from the hague. qatar's legal battle with the united arab emirates has dealt a defining blow the international court of justice says the measures taken by the u.a.e. after the blockade of qatar amount to racial discrimination according to. the u.a.e.

has failed to respect the obligation is the i.c. j.s ordered the u.a.e. immediately to allow qatari families expelled from the country to be reunited students to finish their studies and those qatari affected access to courts and tribunals the order said the i.c.j. president is compulsory the core fairness that this all of that is. and that article forty one of these that. effect. and there's a international legal obligation is for any part to her the provisional measure is that it's last june the u.a.e. saudi arabia bahrain and egypt sever diplomatic ties with qatar and imposed a land sea and air blockade accusing catarrh of funding extremism and accusations

it denies qatar says its citizens were either illegally expelled or denied access to the u.a.e. separating families and denying people access to health care education their properties in assets of course the u.a.e. is the only one of the four countries to have imposed a blockade on cattle but it's the only one out of the four to be brought here before the international court of justice why because it's the only country out of the four that signed up to the international convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination but bahrain egypt and saudi arabia will be watching this case closely and drawing their own conclusions this is a statement that there is a likelihood of discrimination so one would think that the other states in the region would say that means something again likely that this is a violation in earlier hearings the u.a.e. denied any policy of expulsion saying it's measures were designed to have the least possible impact on ordinary citizens it said his argument was with the qatari

government not the qatari people but the u.a.e. must comply with the court or face further legal action qatar could go to the u.n. security council and demand an informant order this is one of a string of legal challenges mounted by qatar to try and end the blockade a ruling the country will welcome but whether it will help end the blockade now in its fourteenth month is less certain nieve back at al-jazeera the hague. let's talk now to colonial just xan he's executive director of the arab sense of washington he joins us from fairfax virginia xan does this ruling to us this imply perhaps that the blockade is one step closer towards coming to a close. one would hope so this is certainly a victory and breakthrough for a couple that i think i thought ought to be going to lead to team the legal team to

represented it under the leadership of my friend dr mohamad binocular as he said he did an excellent job presenting their case before the court and convincing convinced that to take this professional who doesn't necessarily imply that but it's certainly points to the illegality of the blockade in terms of human rights violation this at the moment just applies to the u.a.e. because there are other countries involved of course as well how might they react to this. they should react with concern although of course as you well know u.a.e. . was confronted first because it's a signatory to the search which is the convention the international convention for the limitation of all forms of racial discrimination the other parties i'm not a signatory to that neither is saudi arabia nor about rain nor egypt so they cannot

be held responsible for something they did not sign in the past however the implication is universal as we heard from the judge there is a binding nature to. this decision and it should be respected by all countries. members of the united nations has this ongoing situation irretrievably damage the g.c.c. . i think the blockade has definitely the g.c.c. today is not the same g.c.c. we knew fourteen months ago by choice i think the blockading parties. they are responsible for that and they seem to be willing to destroy the most successful experienced if you will in a cooperation council within the world for rather some some fish reasons some of them individual states seeking to control and intrude on the sovereignty of

others would any involvement from external actors end up on the plus side of this equation i mean there was a point about six or seven months ago when the emir of kuwait was involved because he had crossed generational cross border loyalties people he'd been run the diplomatic block more than once or twice in his life and people said yes if there's a solution it might come from him nothing came of it could they perhaps go back to someone like him or maybe even us the united states to get involved well i would like to respond by saying yes those efforts as worthy as they might have been did not produce the intended results but not for lack of goodwill. from the kuwaitis it was mostly the countries doing the blockade that refused to cooperate. with kuwait. that they act think the decision of the court proves

something very important it proves that the blockade has that serious impact it's a form of racial discrimination it is real in terms of any impact on the lives of people in the region and it is a kind of long lasting impact and it's harmful and i hope that that work would propel other countries beyond if you will wait and maybe beyond the region to impose if you will there with it well at this time knowing that this is the decision of the court which is the world court it's the highest court for the international community. just chant thank you. the iranian foreign minister has released a tweet mocking donald trump's late night threats the u.s. president warned the republic of consequences never seen before and he says he isn't concerned that he may be heightening tension she has returned see reports.

the iranian foreign minister's tweet mimics of the all caps late night tweet from the u.s. president color us unimpressed it said the world heard even harsher bluster a few months ago and iranians have heard them albeit more civilized ones for forty years we've been around for millennia and seen full of empires including our own which lasted more than the life of some countries be cautious exclamation mark be cautious is how donald trump's tweet ended as well thanks at the white house donald trump was asked if he had any concerns about provoking tensions with iran this was his response. things have changed in the administration every day we're now those around on from who've long advocated for violent regime change in iran notably national security advisor john bolton he released the following statement if iran does anything at all to the negative they will pay a price like few countries have paid before but white house press secretary sara saunders argued that the administration's approach to iran has been consistent the

ultimate goal and the focus of the president is making sure that we keep nuclear weapon weapons out of their hands and that we focus on the protection of american presidents tweet came a time though when much of the international community is arguing that withdrawing from the iranian nuclear deal has made everyone less safe not more diplomatically i think a lot of countries are very resentful of the united states they think the u.s. pulled out of a perfectly fine nuclear deal that iran was complying with i think they're diplomatically maybe iran feels like it's with europe and russia and china saying that the u.s. is overdoing it here world has become sunday secretary of state mike said the u.s. would attempt to stir unrest in iran by beaming antigovernment broadcast into the country but beyond that it's still unclear what the long term strategy of the trumpet ministrations is almost three months since the u.s. withdrew from the iranian nuclear deal she had her town see out zero washington's. same bus ravis in tehran for us he's been following reaction there from the iranian

government. a late night tweet from the american commander in chief to the iranian president was a textbook example of donald trump's twitter diplomacy a warning in all caps the u.s. president is angry never threaten america again he said or else. now give me husseini is a senior iranian national security official and says trump is really angry at himself. americans have been trying for two to three years now to convince other countries to confront iran instead of cooperating with iran but they haven't succeeded even that commercial partners like the europeans and china they caney announce they won't go with the sanctions naturally russia won't cooperate nor will other countries in our opinion america is angry because it is an isolated itself and it feels that it remains a loan against iran. at the center of this latest escalation in the war of words is

trumps a vow to block the sale of iranian oil the country's biggest money maker earlier this month rouhani threatened to respond by disrupting international shipping lanes in the strait of hormuz an important part of the region's oil supply chain in or. is it wise that we have all these shores under our control we will not be able to export oil and other countries will this is not smart. in a speech on sunday u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o took aim at iran's leaders the level of corruption wealth among are a leader shows that iran is run by something that resembles the mafia more than a government it has to be said that many iranians would be just as critical of their own government the wealth gap is getting bigger and complaints of corruption are caught but for every anti-government protest by nature or by design there have been bigger pro-government route some people specifically mentioned general qassam so the money is a senior revolutionary guard commander who many here consider

a national hero he's been part of iran's campaign against immortalized in this twenty seventeen animated film it depicts a military victory against u.s. naval forces with leading the charge. for many iranians this is the inevitable conclusion of american hostility towards their country and even peacemakers here agree the closer these two sides come to open conflict. the harder it will be to walk down. the old a zero. the death toll is rising as wildfires fueled by strong winds get closer to the greek capital a government spokesman says twenty people have now died a state of emergency has been declared in two areas kathy lopez has the story. smoke spreads across the greek capital carrying fear of what the summer may bring around athens fires having got several towns homes have burned to the ground the hillsides no match for the raging flames thousands of people have evacuated many

who managed to escape are still in shock if the course of any thought i think it becomes invalid so i think thankfully the sea was right there and we went in the flames were chasing us all the way to the water it started burning our back so we dove into the water yes the fires led greek prime minister alexis tsipras to cut short an official visit to bosnia. just there with but it's i want to believe that despite the adverse weather conditions we will do whatever is humanly possible to get a fire under control in spite of this i'm still concerned by the parallel outbreaks in the east and west of africa this is for everybody but one of the owners of the firefighters the coast guard and army are teaming up to respond to the state of emergency the fires are burning in several areas including the small resort town of kmita about fifty kilometers from athens northeast of the capital the area is also

affected as well as the southern island of crete the low visibility has led to flight delays the closure of roads and a main highway. in the village of monte charred cars cover the streets greece is now asking the european union for help not to make honest grace has submitted a request through the european civil protection mechanism the international ground and air assistance. you know still fresh in the country's memory are the devastating two thousand and seven wildfires. more than eighty people died as fires burned for days across greece over a decade later firefighters know it's a race against time with unforgiving flames destroying everything in their way. now dizzier plenty more still to come here on the news hour for you including syria's not happy why it's condemning as criminal the evacuation of white helmet

rescuers and their families. top french politicians under scrutiny for his handling of the crisis over a presidential bodyguard filmed beating a protester. in sport the backlash from this photo op which prompted one of the world's top footballers to quit his national team. well the campaigning has now ended now one hundred million voters in pakistan have a day to decide who will lead the country the party of the former cricket captain imran khan is tipped to turn the tables on his back and veteran political rivals some of the from lahore. from the rooftop to the seats arranged below political workers gathered in their hundreds charged by the anthems of change they believe the twenty eighteen election will turn the tables on the tradition of

venice. it will be a one sided contest from the rule belts we will sweep the pakistan muslim league nawaz party we will also win from urban areas this is the last time they can express this confidence before the july twenty fifth election campaign activities have been suspended by the election commission twenty four hours before paul's open it's the last day of campaigning and crowds have been gathering at various rallies being held by the box they can solve this is the party being led by forget to turn politician in wrong khan who according to polls has been leading in the race two words the pakistani parliament handles the importance of punjab the heartland of pakistani politics the province holds one hundred forty eight out of the two hundred seventy two geographically constituencies which make up the national assembly. god really gives the nation this chance to change their fate these corrupt politicians have been ruling the punjab since ninety five even their children are billionaires. but it's not going to be an easy fight for imran khan

a crowd of now jailed former prime minister in the musharraf is also fired up we often have a shitty because he's done a tremendous job in making projects like the actual rules of the train that's why we'll only support him the numbers the is now led by his brother three who has been criticised by his opponents for not being a crowd puller. insists that his sport is among the masses who have benefited from his development projects and people in his party's constituency seem convinced waters of the muslim league see their leadership and party has been targeted unfairly by the judiciary and the military establishment. but if. people will vote for the lion because they have performed in the past five years whether it's the china code or a network of roads buses and trains education and health a sectors where they did a great job. instead of

a single large rally all major parties finished their campaigns but smaller political gatherings marred by some incidents of violence campaigning is ended now votes will decide which political party succeeded in getting their message across the sound of a job a down to zero. the white house says president could revoke the security clearances of six former intelligence officials who criticized him over the russia inquiry among them as a former f.b.i. director james comey mr trump fired last year accuses them of influencing agencies that are supposed to remain a political call was deputy national intelligence officer for international threats of the national intelligence council he joins us from boston massachusetts going call two of these six people don't have any security clearance anyway so what's the point of the white house kind of marching its troops up to the top of the hill on this well i think it's consistent with trump's modus operandi which is threaten

and make afraid and try to punish anyone who challenges him on any point of any sort be it substance or political or personal so it's a gratuitous act but it's much more serious than that it's never been even suggested before in american history that a president would so openly use the levers of power to punish someone simply for having criticized if he goes ahead and does this with the of the for two points point number one can he actually do it on his own can he unilaterally pull the plug on their clearances and point number two i mean would it silence them anyway. i believe that the president does have executive authority to grant or or deny clearances i think the answer to that is yes in my experience i didn't deal directly with the president with or for my clearance but it's always the superior who. your superior who has the decision there might be some review process but one

would be unlikely to challenge the president we would have an effect on sounds and know it's a practical significance for people who are lower down less senior than the six individuals cited because a clearance is. essential to continue working after you are with the federal government in a national security position he's gentle and one lady don't need to do that probably but so want to silence them but it is a chilling political gesture and warning do you think for donald trump and his white house this particular administration it fuels the for us or against us mindset that they apparently have because his critics might say if this is about talking when you shouldn't talk if this is about giving information when you shouldn't give information you know mr trump gave code would level security

information to the russian foreign minister and compromised people's lawyer was when he took them into a private session off the oval office i think that happened about a year ago on top of which he had this closed door private conversation with let me put in we may never know what was said in that discussion. right i think it wasn't simply he jeopardize their pretty place their risk their lives i think he may have cost i don't know that for a fact but i think there was an israeli source that was revealed and if that source were ever caught or death quite painfully and slowly think but it's surely well of course that the error that the journalists make pundits make in the public makes with regard to trump is to try to find some rhyme reasons of the to the actions in fact trump is quite simple he will say or do anything that he thinks

momentarily will protect him or attack an enemy that's the only motivation he has he's not interested in policy or public welfare particularly unless it coincides with his own news that's yet so that's why he did this because he has been seized for historic levels of corruption incompetence and frankly probably treason glenn call in boston thank you and your time. the nicaraguan president has denied responsibility for months of violent protests saying he doesn't control the paramilitary groups blamed for most of the deaths more than three hundred people have been killed since the protests against done that will take his government began in april demonstrators want to take it to call early elections in a rare interview with u.s. television will take a has refused to step down saying moving the vote would increase instability he told fox news the elections will go ahead as planned in twenty twenty one. the

syrian government has condemned the evacuation of white helmet rescue workers calling it a criminal smuggling operation four hundred twenty two volunteers and their families were ferried through the israeli occupied golan heights into jordan and a top secret international mission evacuation had the backing of the u.n. the u.s. and the u.k. the assad government has repeatedly accused the white helmets of being a front group for rebel fighters the syrian government and its russian ally have stepped up their offensive in eisel controlled areas in the southwest stephanie tekken has more from the israeli occupied golan heights. we've been witnessing an intense air campaign throughout the day also heavy shelling on this area behind us which is essentially the only opposition held area left in southwestern syria is controlled by a group affiliated with ice so there is no negotiations on the table for them certainly at the moment we've seen small groups of people trying to seek shelter

close to rocks close to the fence the fence that demarcates these really occupied golan heights with the syrian side the war is very close here and it really does look like the syrians together with the russians are really pushing this campaign forward now trying retake the entire area of southwest syria the israeli army here more and more alert certain that we've seen in the past couple of weeks more soldiers monitoring the area taking pictures earlier on monday morning rocket sarin were heard here is that gives you an indication of just how close the fighting is. in iraq kurdish security forces have killed three suspected i saw fighters who attacked the governor's building in erbil. gunman fired at guards before entering the building and taking hostages later the security forces around the building were targeted by a suicide bomber

a government employee was killed and two policemen were wounded bill is the seat of the kurdish regional government in a controversial move the u.k. government has decided not to object to the u.s. seeking the death penalty for two suspected british members of ice or alexander and should feel sheik are accused of executing several captives including journalists while part of i saw in syria human rights groups of criticized the move because britain abolished the death penalty more than fifty years ago matthew main is a former prosecutor and author of the execution as told he says the u.k.'s decision flies in the face of a long standing position. well it looks as though it's legal hypocrisy i mean you're either in favor of the death penalty or you're not in favor of the death penalty you can't begin after fifty years of. steadfastly being opposed to the death penalty to start to carve out exceptions to that even if it is

for purposes of terrorism i still think it's a departure from a long standing and often much looked upon among other european countries as a a strong steadfast position the united states has a mechanism to pursue the death penalty in appropriate cases the federal government has a death penalty statute it hasn't been used quite frankly much over the last twenty thirty years but the statute does exist that's if we if the united states was what was going to try these cases in a civil criminal courtroom there's other options as well these individuals could be transferred to guantanamo bay where they can be held without being charged italy's foreign minister says migrants rescued from the mediterranean will be allowed to come ashore while e.u. nations tackle the issue of migration it's these new government has taken
