and what happens there matters. this is al jazeera. hello i'm rob and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the u.s. misses a court deadline to reunite all immigrant children who were separated from their parents. in pakistan the official tally from the elections isn't official yet but it's imran khan that claims victory. and escalation or maybe not yemen's who sees say they hit the abu dhabi airport with a drone the amorality say that didn't happen. the u.s. uses a conference promoting religious freedom to threaten turkey. the

u.s. government says more than eighteen hundred migrants children have been released from immigration detention centers and more than fourteen hundred of them have been reunited with their parents in unspent comes just hours ahead of a court ordered deadline has more from mcallen texas. the u.s. government has indicated it will not meet the court imposed deadline to return all children that had been separated from their parents at the border some seven hundred children have been in eligible for reunification and according to government attorneys they fall into groups or parents have red flags in their criminal history or work discharged into the interior of the country and then lost track of by the government or the most concerning and predominant group more than four. one hundred cases of parents being deported from the country while leaving

their child behind the government claims that no one has been deported without the opportunity to ask to bring their child with them but that assertion is being fiercely contested by immigration attorneys who cite clients after client that claim they were removed from the country under protest knowing they were being forced to leave their children behind going forward there will be a status hearing on friday where the government will work with the american civil liberties union to come up with a plan of how to reach these four hundred some parents who have been deported asked them if they want their children back and develop a new plan and how to reunify them live roscoe's a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of immigration at the u.s. department of justice and he's joining us now on skype from washington d.c. we appreciate your time so i want to ask you first of all if i may about the over seven hundred kids that have not yet been returned because their parents have been

deemed unfit by the immigration service now in many countries dealing a parent on food is a long drawn out process that involves psychiatric testing on social workers are you surprised by the speed at which the immigration service has made the deliberation. absolutely i mean the only basis that they used to say that the parent is unfit is that they were committed if they were convicted of a crime and. i mean there's plenty of parents who were convicted of crimes we don't lose custody over their children and it just goes to the nature of the crime and you know whether the person's been rehabilitated or not but what the government is trying to say as a proxy is we don't have the tying to do all of that we're not going to reunite the ball parents and children where irene has been convicted of a crime we will keep the parent or keep the child in the custody of health and human services and try to find a different guardian for that what is the legal status of those kids who are kept with them with social services pending being found

a legal guardian so those children do not have any illegal immigration status but they're not permitted to be deported unless and until their removal hearing is conduct that but children have special rights where they can apply for something called special immigrant juveniles which is if they've been a band of abuse or neglect that by their parent they can actually painted a lawful permanent resident status in the united states and so oddly enough if the government creates those that you agent or the government itself the parent who abandon abuse or neglect of the. child may end up being able to get a lawful permanent resident green card in the united states even though the parent one of the board in the u.s. government has been working very hard in order to try to get beat this deadline or and get as many kids as possible reunited with their their parents ahead of that is there any substance to the suggestion that it is using this argument of unfit

parents to perhaps cover up for the fact that it has simply lost track of some of those parents and can't find them i mean here is the point. three months ago this had never been done in the history of the united states separation of the parents of the children and so there were not statistical recordkeeping database. there were not technological. wristbands for any of that nothing exists but what had to happen is the government had to recreate everything by end and try to figure out who was separated where people went and when some course it is inevitable that there will be parents and children who will never be reunited again and that is the prize how much of this is done not so much to the trumpet ministration although it obviously carries responsibility for putting the process into place but also the frankly the beautiful clunking us of immigration service the border patrols and the social workers i'm trying to bring all of those services together and that would

have happened under any government that tried to bring in this process sure i mean the problem and the reason that the government never separated parents and children in the first place was partly humanitarian but partly because the government understood that it would be an absolute logistical nightmare once you separated parents and children to try to figure out what you do later in this process you get through other people do you cause them to get legal silent prayer and what do you do and we always under the you kept the family together and the family there won their case our law but they did it together and when the drop of ministration decided to make the decision for family separation the only consideration they gave was what are people from coming to the united states clear and they have been in that absolutely no thought process was put in place to well what would happen to

the result of the children once they got separated and the last three months have been evident. really interesting to get your analysis of this lynn fresco thank you very much indeed. thank you ok. ok some breaking news just into us here at al-jazeera the white house says a u.s. military plane is returning from north korea having retrieve the remains of american soldiers killed during the korean war kim jong un had promised to return the remains during his meeting with donald trump in june in the eight thousand u.s. soldiers are still listed as missing decades after the fighting stopped on the korean peninsula the remains of five thousand three hundred are believed to still be in north korea by the mox the sixty fifth anniversary of the armistice that ended the korean war though the two koreas have never signed a formal peace treaty. pakistani

thankful to god for the twenty two year struggle today god has given me the opportunity that i have dreamt of a dream for pakistan accountability will start with me then my ministers and then we will work our way down but the vote count has been controversial pakistan muslim league which won a majority in twenty thirteen says their mandate was stolen from them there's also been criticism from but i haven't put those be a religious correlation and others but the election commission denies there was any foul play and how many years ago. the complaints that we received are procedural in nature and there is no complaint of misconduct in the elections so we are satisfied that the execution of the elections this free and fair. imran khan's one pledges of change and people in pakistan even those who did not vote for him want him to deliver by improving living conditions healing the economy and fighting corruption

will be are you bored so you can take your money which ever government comes it should do good for us we want water gas and electricity. obviously there are other problems as well they should be problems. in punjab province plans to form a coalition government but he has promised to fight tooth and nail to save their provincial influence the challenge for the cricketer turned politician is to create an inclusive government and then keep it running for five years so far all the major political parties apart from the p.d.i. have reservations about the results they've called for an all parties conference in the federal capital islamabad it is going to be a numbers game to form a government and imran khan does not have those numbers alone the big question is who will he form an alliance with. others there are a lot peter mares a pakistani t.v. anchor and a political analyst he says among con has been responding to those rigging claims

in a novel way. well this is a very tricky situation because the same thing happened in the last elections when emraan said there was a lot of rigging and his ballot boxes weren't opened not today the opposition is saying exactly the same but here i think we got a breath of fresh air and he said in his speech that he's willing to see whatever allegations and whatever you know mismanagement has been taking place he's willing to basically investigate it but to he the situation is not that e.t.i. has what the situation is different gelati of the matter age which might take place between p m l n and the pox on people's party that is where the real crux lice the head of the special forces of iran's revolutionary guard has warned donald trump not to start a war major general hossam so the money says if the u.s. does begin a conflict iran will destroy all its possesses is joining many iranian leaders who

reacted to a tweet by donald trump that warned that iran would suffer dire consequences if it continued to threaten the u.s. three months ago the u.s. withdrew from the iranian nuclear deal yemen's hoofy rebels say they've attacked abu dhabi airport with a drone a u.a.e. official has denied their claim the airport tweeted earlier that there had been an incident involving a supply vehicle but said it had not affected flights all operations it's not clear if the tweet was referring to the same incident on wednesday to who sees said it attacked a saudi arabian naval vessel but the saudis say they actually hit an oil tanker and . for the last three years the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have been leading a military coalition which is supporting yemen's government in its war against the who feeds in the past few months rebels have launched a number of missiles into saudi arabia and its capital riyadh. david de rose is an associate professor of near east south asia center the national defense university

he says who may not be responsible for the drone attack on the u.a.e. airport i think that the these do tend to over exaggerate their reach and their prowess they're aiming for a strategic effect to cause unease in the u.a.e. and the saudi heartland which have been mostly not affected by the war in yemen they want to bring that war home but the second possibility is that they have been able to have some sort of minor impact and if that is in fact the case i wouldn't be surprised to hear the way i do it if i was a hoot the i'd have a drone attack i'd wait for the denial that i'd show footage but we just don't have enough to know right now the who these have surprised everybody with their ballistic missile capacity i believe that they are being resupplied by iran and the fact that they have been able to reach out towards riyadh so far they haven't been able to hit any targets in riyadh but that is disturbing for the saudis. the drones

have been an ever present feature of the battlefield they've been providing reconnaissance and providing attacks for the who these and that's just the way of warfare now every modern battlefield now sees drones with the russians have had drone attacks in syria this is just the way it's going to be going forward for everybody and israeli and a palestinian man have died after being what's being called a stabbing attack in the occupied west bank israeli was living in the illegal settlement of autumn to the south of ramallah he died from stab wounds israeli soldiers shot and killed a palestinian they say carried out the attack two more israeli settlers have been injured. plenty more ahead in the news hour including chinese president xi jinping calls for a joint effort to fight trade protectionism at the brics meeting. on wall street thursday facebook lost more money than any company company has ever lost in a single day we'll tell you why. thank you. the pony of government. we

hear from alex ferguson for the first time since the manchester united legendary manager underwent brain surgery that's in the sport with joe. violence continues to rock nicaragua following four months of demonstrations across the country on monday president daniel ortega refused to bow to protest as demands that he stand down during an interview on monday with the u.s. t.v. network fox news he said the deaths of about three hundred people during three months of protests were caused by part of military groups a claim that human rights organizations strongly deny they see in humans joining us now from the capital managua i understand that the naked eye going to sociate of human rights has produced a report on what's been happening what's it been saying. yes

it has rob and in fact it agrees with president ford take that they are paramilitary groups the problem is that it says that these paramilitary groups are actually members of the government or are being armed by the government and encouraged by the government along with the police this is the report that came out today by that association it was presented by out of the labor he is the executive producer of the association of human rights who by the way just received a human rights award from the french government and indeed tales the names the ages the cause of death the place of death and the dates of four hundred and forty eight nicaraguans who have been killed since april the eighteenth today in fact is the one hundredth anniversary marks one hundred days since the conflict began and most of these people it says were killed either by the police or by paramilitary groups or gangs that are loyal to the government although it does also detail some twenty

four policemen and about forty other people that are loyal to the government who were killed it also talks about clandestine torture and detention centers and about seven hundred or more nicaraguans who have gone missing after having been grabbed from their homes by these kind destined groups. says working outside of the loss of a pretty damning report. as you were saying it's been a hundred days since the uprising started in that time we've seen some terrible pictures coming out of nicaragua what's it like there. absolutely would you know i have been gone for i was here in may the now i've just come back and there's a stark difference you really can feel the fear and the tension out here on the streets in fact behind me is a mall which is normally bustling at this hour here there's practically nobody out in the streets nobody here at the small and fact before dark at five thirty there's a kind of an unofficial curfew people say as they rush to get indoors before it

gets dark in fact the human rights association says that there is a kind of a defacto state of siege in this country right now and that this is this as the government and as president ortega in fact says that everything is getting back to normal but of course we keep seeing the death toll going up and up and up despite what the government claims and with regards to those deaths that you're talking about given the situation that appears to have been reached some sort of stalemate in the president is refusing to leave yet the protesters still are demanding him to go is there a risk that we're going to see more violence and increased violence on the streets in the next in the coming months. well we're we're seeing it every day it's different it's not quite it's all massive we're not seeing these roadblocks and these barricades out on the streets that we've seen before the government has been successful in sending out the police and paramilitary groups to

to dismantle all of that but now we're being told it's becoming much more selective a lot of the student leaders have gone underground a lot of the civil society leaders have gone underground many people are in prison hundreds and hundreds of them and others we understand are disappearing or trying to get out of the country but that the army is at the border we understand trying to stop them from doing that in the meantime as we're hearing from the human rights organizations the death toll does go up and we're hearing also from students that they're not going to give up the fight so this conflict is far from over that much i can say this is very much indeed. the drug administration has set off a new diplomatic row with turkey over a u.s. citizen who's been in jail since twenty sixteen and as our state department correspondent roselyn jordan reports the threat of sanctions against came during a conference to promote religious freedom. u.s. vice president mike pence talked about persecution during the first ever state department conference on protecting religious freedom around the world hence

highlighted the case of u.s. born minister andrew bronson jailed nearly two years ago in turkey on charges he was involved in the attempted coup against president recip tayyip erdogan but no one expected pence to say this if turkey does not take immediate action to free this innocent man of faith and send him home to america. the united states will impose significant sanctions on turkey until pastor andrew bronson is free to nap after a tweet from president donald trump confirming the threat he is suffering greatly this innocent man of faith should be released immediately the turkish foreign minister immediately fired back also on twitter no one dictates to turkey we will never tolerate threats from anybody rule of law is for everyone no exception to the sun you know to the fight over bronson's legal freedom has reignited what seemed to

be a bit of reconciliation between the u.s. and turkey trump recently congratulated aired a one on winning reelection raising hopes the two could result disputes over turkey's plans to buy russian made missile defense systems and over u.s. support for courage fighters battling eisel in syria the sanctions threat against turkey has overshadowed what was supposed to be one of the trumpet ministrations foreign policy initiatives protecting human rights or more specifically protecting religious freedom the conference discussed how people's religious beliefs make them targets for everything from harassment to death and what the international community can do to protect them indeed the vice president's speech highlighted the abuse suffered by the real hinge of me and maher the use edis of iraq and syria to bouton buddhists at the hands of beijing and jews living in europe and the united

states but two new programs that pends announced may do more to help small christian communities around the world than these other people's human rights groups say that's worrisome what was most troubling for me with the absence of any notion that people have the right not to practice a free and fair national that people have the right not to have someone else's faith and posed upon them. but this new call flick with turkey may end up overshadowing the u.s. efforts to protect people's right to worship as well as the oversight to ensure the u.s. doesn't impose its beliefs on other countries rosalyn jordan al-jazeera the state department and u.s. president donald trump celebrating after his meeting with the president of the e.u. commission on calming the current us in you trade war but another european leader might be throwing a spanner in the works by rejecting proposals to create a new biological trade deal was more.

fresh off a trade deal with the european commission u.s. president donald trump took to a steel plant warehouse in the state of illinois speaking to an invitation only crowd the president said he was celebrating a great victory rally nationalistic undertow and we will not let anybody bully our wonderful american farmers. our fortunes as a nation rise and fall together and that is why we are going to stick together and win for our farmers and off factory workers are still workers here we are all across this nation. but if trump ever wanted to see the divisions his trade policies are causing he didn't have to look too far. billions of dollars in tariffs on goods from china have helped the local steel industry in illinois that's why trump chose to speak here. but his trade policies have hurt the local soybean farmers who ship more of their product to china than any other state china

implemented retaliatory tariffs on us soil. that's why earlier in the day trump visited farmers in the state of iowa he boasted that a supposed trade breakthrough brokered wednesday in washington with european commission cheap john klobuchar would have avoided a trade war with europe and also help american farmers at a proclaimed deal is light on details and promised just more talks in the future. could be and there are already signs that not everyone in europe is on board by example and on them that would be good for example in terms of access to the american public markets which are today primarily closed we need clear gestures from the united states we need signals of the escalations on the steel and i'll minium where illegal taxes have been applied by the united states and in my opinion an intervention in the subject matters before taking any further steps i think the

earlier this year trump famously said that trade wars were good and easy to win but not everybody agrees and now the president is finding out that perhaps they're more difficult than he originally imagined gabriels andro how does it washington. they deserve the brics group of emerging economies are calling for an open and inclusive trading system it comes in the wake of a number of protectionist tariffs introduced by president trump has more from the annual brics summit being held in johannesburg. leaders from five of the world's leading emerging markets say they are united when it comes to trade they say protectionism which is being pushed by u.s. president donald trump should be rejected. what is constant is the flare up of geopolitical conflicts and the escalation of protectionism an intellectual ism they directly affect emerging markets in developing countries. we must work

together with the united nations the g twenty and the world trade organization to safeguard the rules based multilateral trading system liberalise and facilitate trade and investment and reject protectionism outright. it's the first time presidents from the brics trade bloc are meeting says donald trump threatened to impose tariffs or chinese imports economists say the trade could also hurt smaller countries something plans will stifle global economic growth leaders at the bric summit say increasing global trade encourages economies of all countries to grow but emerging economies could be damaged if the u.s. imposes tariffs on certain goods but it's this race to impose tariffs have given brazil russia india china and south africa more reason to increase trade cooperation between them it's also force china the world's they could not just economy after the united states to look for other markets to buy and sell its products china has been the most important trading partner with a u.s.

and so is us to china on but now with those ask a leading trade tension we can almost be certain bad in the next few years the trade between those two countries will be heard for watt along with a very volatile exchange rate market exchange market. for china to extend or to strengthen other relations are europe and africa is top choices because of the share sharpest share size of those markets brics leaders in south africa have suggested never need to be held where world players discuss the differences and perhaps prevent a global trade war for that to happen all parties have to agree to come to the table and try to find a balance between promoting national interests and those of the global community how do we toss al-jazeera janice berg. still ahead on al-jazeera for the first time somalia brings a prosecution for female genital mutilation after the death of

are that may impact of their profitability but maybe that's alright maybe it's ok if they are a company that is slightly less profitable but more protective of the privacy of the users and one of the things i see that facebook has been doing is trying to get more humans online there are a lot of places in the world where there's not good internet connections and i think facebook has already been active in bringing the internet to those and that's an interesting social benefit that may come from their quest for more users who actually improving networking in certain areas of the world but nevertheless the other thing is to build a business that is not premised on maximizing growth but to to provide a good experience people want to come back we will have been leaving in part because they don't see what they like on the service and want to have one that is more protective of their privacy of their or their rights and so create an environment that people want to come back to the first of a prosecution against female genital mutilation in somalia is being pursued by the

supply side dealt with as well so we would like to see that cut is also. followed up and convicted female genital mutilation is a social norm it's something that has been practice in communities for generations but we all recognise now as the world changes as activists are speaking out as african women are speaking out that this is not something that we want to continue but what we are pleased to see list particular case is that there is the political will that is going to create the enabling environment for these conversations to happen and for the change talk. the man in charge of a controversial project in ethiopia to down the waters of the blue nile river has been found shot dead in the capital addis ababa the multi-billion dollar project has faced stiff opposition and as million one hundred ports some protesters believe he was murdered. well come to the ground it abandon a sense i drill and it's
