if the united nation will not conduct their own investigation i believe that that's how did it coalition will continue the sensational news that american made smart bombs were used in that strike grabbed headlines in the u.s. but just for one day the case against the u.s. being implicated in these murders and these war crimes is a very strong one. the two thousand and fifteen saudi led and u.s. supported intervention in yemen has created what the u.n. calls the worst humanitarian crisis in the world thousands of people have been killed millions have been displaced and twenty two million yemenis desperately need humanitarian help every day but the war in yemen seems to have no ending paul chowder gian al jazeera has won a dire warning from donald trump the us president says there would be an economic meltdown if he was removed from office or trump was responding to speculation about

his potential impeachment following the prosecution of to form a top aides this woman lawyer michael cohen was has implicated him in breaking campaign finance laws while his former campaign chief pull money ford was found guilty of bank fraud i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. i'll tell you what if i ever got a ph i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe . castro has more now from washington d.c. . impeachment is a real possibility for trump if his party of republicans lose control of the house come the november midterm elections and so while the president's statements that essentially say if he is impeached everyone may be poor may sound surprising on its face but when you look at it it may be a motivator the in the president's belief to turn out his base in november it's

notable that on tuesday the same day that two of trump's most closest allies became convicted felons was the same day that the american stock market rallied to record highs and recent polls show that ninety percent of republicans think trump is doing a good job in office and so trump is adamant in issuing this threat or warning however you look at it to his base that they have to turn out in november or ause perhaps risk their pocketbooks now in this long and winding interview with fox news president trump also went on to renew criticism of his attorney general jeff sessions he renewed the refrain that sessions should not ever accused himself from the russian vessel should have us at a stand simply done a better job to protect the president now sessions who has long been quiet amid these criticisms did shoot back with a strongly worded statement saying that he would not be influenced by political

considerations many are seeing this as the attorney general drawing a line in the sand between himself and the president and it remains to be seen what action if any the president will take finally on this day of much intrigue and breaking news surrounding the white house the wall street journal is reporting that david packer a longtime friend of donald trump and the publisher of the national enquirer has made a deal with federal prosecutors that implicates trump in the pay off of two women who claim that they had sexual relationships with trump to buy their silence. as a senior advisor at the atlantic council he says economic problems will hit the u.s. economy but not due to any impeachment of the president should mr trump be relieved from office and that's at this stage a doubtful issue my guess is that the markets are not going to be affected however . there is

a ticking time bomb which mr trump is indeed partly responsible the united states has a overall debt of about twenty trillion dollars that's with a t. that's equivalent to about all of our gross domestic product the deficit for this year will be in excess of a trillion dollars again was a t. because of the tax cuts when interest rates go up to three four five percent a year which they will the staggering debt service that the united states once they will swap budget at that stage the longest bull run on the market will stop decidedly so whether this will be as bad as one thousand nine hundred twenty nine thousand nine hundred eighty seven or two thousand and eight who knows but at some stage the music is going to stop unless or until these deficits are going to be controlled so this will have nothing to do with potential impeachment it will have everything to do with the markets and the fact that america's debt is running amok a south korean appeals court has a link from the prison sentence to be by the former president park geun hye after

a prosecution appeal sentence has been increased by twelve months to twenty five years in april so it's high court guilty of several corruption charges including bribery that followed the long running scandal which forced from office in twenty seventeen. dr short break you're not just iraq when we come back how donald trump's tweets on south africa's white farmers are sparking outrage across the country more than. hello there the rain has finally cleared away from the eastern parts of north america you can see it on the satellite picture this area of cloud here finally working its way eastwards and behind it it should be a lot of drier and brighter than it has been recently so new york they're getting to around twenty seven degrees the next system there isn't too far away it's

desperate for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams of sanctuary are realized but sometimes disenchantment and hostility drives them home in the first of two films on these contrasting experiences people in power goes to the north german city where humane approach to integration is proving surprisingly effective. assimilation nation. welcome back a quick reminder at the top stories here on the al-jazeera australia's finance

minister scott morrison has been chosen to be the next prime minister after a vote of m.p.'s from the ruling liberal party. turnbull who'd been the job for less than three years survived a leadership challenge on tuesday. there was a ballot conducted in the party room for the leadership of the liberal party the successful candidate was scott morrison. and he won this quote by forty five votes to forty. two kathy novak in sydney cathy so scott morrison has now been chosen as australia's new prime minister he's won the leadership race talk us through what happened and what we know about scott morrison. well this was quite a surprising result we've seen leadership challenges for the position of prime minister here in australia in the past but what usually happens is that there is

a challenge from one person there's a meeting and a vote held and of the prime minister in the past has been toppled by the person who challenged him or her well in this case this started earlier in the week with another man peter dutton who had challenge malcolm turnbull for a leadership vote and in that case on tuesday lost but because of that vote in the margin was not strong enough for malcolm turnbull to really solidify his position what we started seeing was a number of malcolm turnbull's ministers resigning and it was quite clear that his leadership really still was in tatters so peter dutton came back saying this time he thought he did have the numbers if they went back for a leadership vote malcolm turnbull demanded that peter dutton present him with a petition showing that he had the support of the majority of the party to go ahead and have a vote for a new leader peter dutton produced that petition so when the vote was actually held

malcolm turnbull stepped aside he wasn't a candidate in the ultimate leadership vote that was held between three people peter dutton the former foreign minister julie bishop and the man who surprisingly emerged victorious scott morrison he had been treasurer under the prime minister malcolm turnbull and had until this point been standing behind turnbull to remain in that position but because he stood aside when he was faced with another challenge by peter dutton this time around scott morrison decided to run and won the as you say malcolm turnbull had been fighting hard to keep his position as prime minister but in the end the polity deserted him so take a spot on what triggered all this. well it really is a result of infighting within the ruling liberal party those in the more conservative faction like peter dutton had wanted to see

a change but what many will be asking here in australia is so what has this all achieved because in the past there might have been a specific policy issue that people could point to and say this is why a leadership challenge had been called but in this case it seemed to be a bit more personal and just that the conservatives in the liberal party you wanted malcolm turnbull who is more moderate out and they wanted their men in so that seems to have been what has brought all of this about there had been disagreements for example on energy policy but it will be difficult for the liberal party to then go to the australian people and definitively say this is why this has all happened and this is what is likely to change because scott morrison had been backing malcolm turnbull throughout this leadership crisis the question is will it just be more of the same and what does that mean for the liberal party as it's facing this disunity trying to go into

a general election all right kathy novak in sydney kathy thank you now the un has called on latin american countries to ease travel restrictions for thousands of people fleeing venezuela's deepening economic and political crisis the cool came off the neighboring ecuador and peru announced time to enter a commons for venezuelans they'll now need to show valid passports venezuelans were previously allowed to come in with just i.d. cards but according to the u.n. more than one point six million people have fled venezuela since twenty fifteen million asuncion is into best some peru's border with ecuador many venezuelans of trying to reach there before sunday when the tighter border controls will come into force. well there are many going to swells arriving much more than the days before of course because of this restriction that will be in place on saturday where they will need a passport to get into grade two thousands of venezuelans do not have passports it's very difficult and very costly to get them in venezuela so they are rushing to this border they do have had an open border policy for venezuela and there are

nearly or nearly four hundred thousand in israel and already living in pay too. many are also coming the number has increased because the ecuadorian authorities are transporting many bypasses for free so they can get across it well or staring tory all the way to this border crossing to the question will be what will happen to two thousands of innocents who do not have a passport when they get here they won't be able to go back to equality because it will have the same restriction of benefit of having to hold a passport to be able to go in so there is a big question for a peruvian authorities and for international organizations as to what will they be able to do to help these venice williams who are on their way to do right now south africa has rejected a tweet by the u.s. president on land reform calling it narrow and devices on twitter donald trump said lands being seized from white farmers. his secretary of state to examine the policy

well it's an afghan government summoned the most senior american diplomat in the country to discuss the controversy in washington meanwhile reporters pressed trump ministration officials on the issue. the president asked the secretary to look closely at the current state of action in south africa related to land reform this is something that has been going on for many decades the conversation and debate about land reform there i should mention that the expropriation of land without compensation our position is that that would risk sending south africa down the wrong path we continue to encourage a peaceful and transparent public debate about what we consider to be a very important issue in the south african certainly do as well. for me the miller has more. the debate around landed spoke ration without compensation is a very emotive one here in south africa the government says it supports the exploitation of land without paying for it as part of its land reform program but

white farmers in particular say it will kill the agricultural sector and harm the country's economy and the economy now they say they are better ways of including landless black people in the agricultural sector and in that way empowering them and we spoke to a farmer earlier who's attending this land summit in bella bella in the limpopo province who says while farmers understand that injustices of the past have led to the vast majority of farming land being in the hands of the white minority the government has to reconsider its stance i think at the moment the uncertainty that that's in this whole discussion really really makes us feel threatened because you don't know we we're going to be in a year star so we certainly creates uncertainty i think in the past two weeks we've got some clarity from government coming government surely come out also to this learned by to go and give some assurance on what they planning to do how they are

farmers who say this is an opportunity for the government to boost the economy and give rural communities a chance to participate i think but the issue of land expropriation is an issue that's been coming a long way in the struggle for liberation in south africa it's therefore an emotive issue and an economic issue is really a struggle about economic freedom in the liberties of people to live and work where they wish to as the government grapples with details of just how it will go about expropriating land for the fuse benighted to the fire following a tweet by u.s. president donald trump saying land is being seized from white farmers now the governor. it says trump's tweet is offensive and crude and it will deal with this through diplomatic channels and its relationship with the u.s. remains intact despite some in accuracies in that tweet is that african government now has to do some damage control ugandan opposition leader bobby weiner has been

charged with treason he was rearrested moments after a military court dropped weapons charges against him winds initial tension last week sparked widespread protests. now hundreds of young people in chicago are taking part in the annual basketball tournament called hoops in the hood event aims to get young people to come together and promote peace and one of the most violent cities in the u.s. john hendren went to take a look. this is hoops in the hood it's a basketball tournament but it's also a statement about safe neighborhoods in america's most violent major cities each year about five thousand children participate they get together and with the help of the city they block off streets in violence hotspots across chicago and they play and these are violent streets last year thirty five hundred people were shot and more than six hundred of them killed in the city of chicago many of strada was a member of one of chicago's violent gangs now he's

a coach we do have an issue of violence in our neighborhood and i think basketball and sports is just one way we can get kids to kind of do something other than look like i'm forcing this happening with someone some of. this is the end of the morning rush hour so normally the street would be choked with cars but instead four hundred kids from twenty different neighborhoods are here to determine who are the champions of chicago and they come from neighborhoods with names like englewood austin and back of the yards the most violent neighborhoods in chicago and they've come together for a championship but they've also come together to find common ground and when it comes to finding that common ground those we've talked to say. they're nailing it. quick recap of the headlines here on al-jazeera malcolm turnbull has been ousted as a strain in prime minister after a vote by liberal party m.p.'s the treasurer a scot marson has been chosen as his successor comes off to. politics tumble

somebody who's done a great job. i'll tell you what if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe the united nations as a latin american countries to ease entry for thousands of people fleeing venezuela's deepening economic and political crisis a call came up in neighboring ecuador and peru announced tighter entry of comments for venezuelans south africa has rejected a tweet by donald trump on land reform calling it now and divisive the us president ordered a study into farm seizures and what he called a large scale killing a farm a sighting a report on fox news and ugandan opposition leader bobby one's been charged with treason he was rearrested moments after a military court dropped weapons charges against him. well those are the headlines the news continues here on al jazeera off the people in power stations that's

a lot but enough. he is a self-proclaimed messenger of god painting millions of devote but his path to enlightenment involves the rape and abuse of his followers when he used investigates the fall of one of india's most powerful spiritual gurus on al-jazeera . desperate for oppressive laws millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams are sanctuary and well realized sometimes disenchantment has to listen dr. in the first of two films on these conflicting experiences people in power has been to the gym and switching their generosity and open office have been making noise which can get gratian with.

santa. now and i have to. i have this china. now it's not hostile has not sought to go on what's in this is she. under the skin of what is then the one hand high as a hobby and also as the musky of his guilt i mean that in she. saud a mother of four is a refugee in germany after her husband was badly injured in an isis attack in iraq she had to flee the country with her children and find safety in europe. trying. to sell.

me as for so many others before and since getting to safety was difficult and sometimes dangerous thank god what it said would be. something i thought i should see on clueless and i let them know. this guy was all she had meant about him until kid. she had then moved to l.a. to join him more to help. then move to and then did so he went in and i think. now so i don't have family i settled in debts mold a small city in north west and generally animals to have. one have bit all my land there he had a buffer so it. must it not been here at least understands

i miss him six months now and this is going. on. since twenty foot team germany has taken in more than one and a half million refugees. the majority from the middle east and north africa. upon arrival most are assigned to a new hometown by the german government selected according to its population size and the standard of living. as a school does slender d.z. here are now. on the fence to no desire to get in on this is class. of a such a race to his start and i lined us. to see our factories it was going to be a fish because the water they think of you don't know and this puts you on this with your. debts mode with around seventy thousand inhabitants was also to accept seven hundred migrants equivalent to about one percent of its population.

the initial public response was cautious start to give you sort of ideas and figure but that's hard to trivialize the video game for my family to feel of mention of naming on. british soccer and the bush team think it ends every two weeks i think there's another. tele. and when we don't have each other then. it's i don't know it doesn't have a sense anymore. but as the refugees arrived detmold reacted positively to its new residents in large part because of the concerted efforts of integration made by the municipality the aim then and since has been to encourage as much interaction possible between the locals and the refugees through social events good eyes by the authorities. café welcome is just one example where anyone can come forward and

ask questions over with their concerns and we have people asking things like why do they come here and they claim our money but they have the newest smart they're supposed to be poor so it's an idea. actually supposed to be other ways they can't be refugees you need to have someone who is who is responding to those sort of questions and does give you the facts that you need to know and i think in that way we still experience a very privileged position because a lot of the population of that mark really has said we want to make this work and really want to be a city that welcomes refugees. one result of this imaginative integration process is that so hard to hold children have discovered a new passion. for acting. they're part of

a drama group called project theater drawn mainly from refugees. to professional performers mariam from france and germany from nuzzi run the project so the life i'm on. the group has been brought together in this who paid for by the local authority to rehearse for a forthcoming public performance. i. simply gave him this if he didn't. sell exists school i paid suitable to him six months ago i wonder if the observer bounded on. the all home for those of two months of the house and did nothing yet. include visits to madame muska. the group is going to be performing a piece inspired by their own stories yes just. the name enough.

to. have him go could do duty count komo see. it all as we have in. school now and then wonder. because there are cities. on the. site underage just died in the stats this video. to demand. and they will know that i like to play but there i see myself just

something. you can see me and me smiling and talking in people are i mean loving and you are joking but after all this is like drama when i am alone sometimes. so when i play with people it is make me forget. thirty three year old emmanuel jerome comes originally from south sudan and has been in detmold for two and a half years. but his future is uncertain. unable to return home because his life is still at risk he played for asylum eighteen months ago and is still waiting to hear whether he'll be allowed to stay in germany . in the meantime he's been relying on the charity of others and lives in this apartment in a retirement home owned by a local. maybe i'm the lucky to use.

german. when a firm. supporter everyone is there for. even i get it i thought ok. resolved to michael until anything so. he was forced to leave his family a mother and sisters back in sudan a country torn apart by war and famine he called bad to display photos of them in his apartment and they're here. it's so hard look at them and been six years without seeing them. even to talk with their love for some time is painful i miss them so much i want to talk to them but when i talked with them i was like why did i call it like i because i don't want to hear what is happening and i don't we

never talk even when we call us we are just crying you know she's crying with us crying crying my not. my new. mario and the director of the drama group has come to visit. this year should he says here yeah in preparation for the performance marianne wants to find out more about how emanuel came to germany and how he's been managing since he got to detmold his story along with those of the other refugee act is will be woven into the script i think ted has you know being. told to must i think it could as you just saw i think the time line yes he did this and just sounded better she ended and you put his what do what does it mean for you safety. for.

safety it's like a place where all the suv seats and you feel you feel that there is a lot of beautiful people who love you all around you. if there is look of all who love your own show you don't feel as if. we are people we are you know we are all just and that's why we come to a little because if it doesn't you know that is all right it's not like people are different of a part of the house district a lot of different country or disk risk and this was the whole buddha we feel that he is dead as you were right so we feel like if the whole of this if this. emmanuel isn't the only one who's being encouraged to make his voice heard through the theatre so i was also keen to show how positive experience of arrival in germany i'm to gratitude at the welcomes has received even the thoughts of home a never far away i at the end of day. oh hi there was any of. those she knows that in comparison to other refugees she and her children

a food that they come from one of the five countries given priority status by the german state iraq syria iran eritrea and so malia their applications are processed more rapidly and help is provided more quickly upon their arrival the family were housed briefly in an abandoned military base before being moved to more permanent accommodation the city pays their rent and the cost of heating for. almost the same detail home i want to see and deal with an office from the laos a call to any. home office on l.a. or. in addition to the housing so i had receives around one thousand euros a month to support.
