thousand women. that i can feel there is danger for female police officers in afghanistan but when i joined the police i decided on that day country or coffin which means i kept the danger i want to be a role model for our people to serve them sincerely so the culture changes and lots of women join lease. finding and retaining women is a challenge is a cultural hurdle convincing parts of society that women should work it's also dangerous as eisel in the taliban specifically target the military and police during shift and after hours. one of the nation's most senior police woman brigadier general hekmatyar who had no idea to improve the female to male ratio build a town only for police woman to protect him and their families as a gift from the government. i am also a mother and i'm looking for the safety of these women i know how difficult it is

place to make a city for them it's all for the safety from where i'm standing rise the first of ten five story buildings to boat across the site for three hundred policewoman and their families around the perimeter will be a high security wall with six guards how to protect the people inside. the plans include a daycare center and school for nearly seven hundred children along with a medical clinic and gym for women. the total cost is one hundred twenty million dollars canada has put. million towards the first phase of building the issue of security is not a hypothetical one earlier this year al-jazeera spoke with the family of nor hire a menorah two sisters who are working as police officers and province when they were targeted and killed by the taliban. in kabul the security elite a watching these stories where they hurt recruitment even without a brick laid the site is already listed with towers and armed guards building

confidence that they can and will protect women as they push towards the goal of five thousand female officers by twenty twenty i think it's responsibility and duty for every afghan woman our men should stand side by side and fight for our country there are no short cuts to equality in this nation moving security and gender equality and the right direction comes one shovel at a time shall a ballasts kubel. peter thank you so much the u.s. open men's final didn't have anywhere near as much drama as the women's but nevertheless novak djokovic put on a great tennis display to be one martin del potro and wrap up his fourteenth grand slam title moving in level with one of the greats of the game david stokes has the action. plenty of pre-match smiles between two close friends but once the photos were done it was down to business and it was just a bit chilly. comfortably taking the happening say six three i

b it was more competitive in the second set which lasted ninety five minutes but no matter what del potro tried just a bit have meant so i be edged it on a tie break to go two sets up. the epic baris didn't stop that the pop chart threw everything he had a joke of it in the third set but even with his power. he just couldn't break the serves defense and instead it was joke of it ch he broke him i be ruthlessly took the set six games to three and the title was his for third time i was not bad for a player who had elbow surgery in february since then he's won wimbledon and now the u.s. open to move level with pete sampras on fourteen grand slams third behind on a bunch of federer and roughen a doubt we don't have pete sampras but we do have john mcenroe i love him.

pete sampras is one of the biggest legends ever to to play the game and he's. it was my childhood the idol and i grew up playing and thinking that i'm one day i'll be able to do what he does and to be actually be here is suggesting come true here champ you know that joke joke which now holds two of the four major trophies and you would bet against him making it three next up it's the australian open and event he's won six times already david stokes al-jazeera it wasn't the only final in new york on sunday australia's ashley barty and home crowd favorite coco van the way won the women's doubles rising from a sit down to be to their bubble shanter steam in the din of h. in the final it's the food major final victory. but the debate over the behavior of both serina williams and the chair umpire doing the

women's final just won't go away williams lost to naomi osaki in a bad tempered final rather took the gloss off because first grand slam victory she was in tears when she was given the trophy as a partisan crowd booed the match officials but the newly crowned champion was in diplomatic mood when asked about serena's behavior as she celebrated at the top of the rockefeller center on sunday. i know that's how. new york gets in america and it's the u.s. open so i know everyone knew how badly she wanted to win the last twenty fourth and final and none for me i felt like i was a kid and now i know for sure if i was in the crowd i would have been playing for seeing into. the women's tennis association has come out in support of serena's claims that she was treated differently than a male player would have been the chief executive steve simon released a statement on sunday saying the w.t. a was committed to all players being treated the same and that they didn't believe

that that was done during the final novak djokovic has responded as well he says the umpire was harsh on serena but that sexism doesn't come into it may i have my personal opinion that may be determined by or should not have pushed serino to the limit especially immigrants and final. you know just maybe changed not maybe it did change the course of the match in just was in my opinion maybe unnecessary i don't see things is mr simon i really don't think you know men and women are you know treated in this way or the other way depending on you know on the situation it's hard to generalize things really i just don't see it's it's necessary really two to debate that italian motorbike rider a man a fanatic he has been kicked out of his team of the grabbing a rival to brake lever during sunday's motor to race in san marino this is the

states threatens to sanction the international criminal court calling it an accountable and dangerous. no i'm maryanne demasi and london you know with al jazeera also coming up more than thirty thousand people have been displaced as syrian government forces continue to pound the last major rebel stronghold of live. at least six people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in somalia's capital al-shabaab claims to be behind it. and north korea extends a very colorful olive branch to the international community cheering celebrations in kenya. welcome to the program our top story the united states has threatened to sanction

the international criminal court calling it unaccountable and outright dangerous president donald trump's national security adviser john bolton made the warning cheering his first major speech in washington d.c. he said i.c.c. judges and officials would be slapped with financial and criminal charges if they try to charge americans accused of war crimes in afghanistan bolton also confirm the trumpet ministration will close palestine's diplomatic mission in washington the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. . i didn't. we will let the

i.c.c. die on its own after all for all intents and purposes the i.c.c. is already dead. well i want house correspondent kimberly halkett was following the story from washington and john bolton has long demonstrated a particular hostility towards the international criminal court what was the reaction that his speech today. well as you heard in the. clip there the audience itself was very much encouraged by what john bolton had to say it's the federal society's particularly conservative group it very much it here is to the principles of the u.s. constitution and that was one of the major points of contention made by john bolton with regard to the international criminal court that basically it undermines u.s. sovereignty and the u.s. constitution that mandates a separation of powers a check on powers in stead he says that essentially it has broad sweeping powers

and as a result the u.s. cannot recognize it does not recognize it but also painted a picture of the i.c.c. as being somewhat ineffectual in terms of the fact that it has in the words of john bolton spent one point five billion dollars but just secured eight convictions so essentially undermining it but particularly concerned about the fact that there is now this concern that if it takes action against the united states by potentially prosecuting u.s. soldiers or other u.s. members of the u.s. government working in afghanistan for war crimes that in fact the u.s. would sanction judges from the international criminal court potentially not only blocking entry into the united states but prosecuting those individuals under the u.s. criminal criminal justice system and also bolton confirming the closure of the office of the palestine liberation organization in washington has that been

a response from palestinian leaders to this. oh well obviously there is pushback that started even before this announcement because the news was leaking out and we knew that the united states was potentially going to do this in retaliation to actions taken by the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas who before the united nations of pealed saying in fact that it is his belief that israel should be prosecuted for war crimes under the i.c.c. so this is a retaliatory move it has long been promised by the united states now that threat has become a reality with the official announcement by john bolton that will further be underscored by the u.s. department of state but the language was most notable met something that we really need to point out here in making that announcement the u.s. which maintains it still wants to participate in brokering a solution between israelis and palestinians for peace made this announcement about the i.c.c.

criticize it calling. palestinians or the so-called state of palestine threatening israel's right to defend itself hardly neutral language hardly as many would say an honest broker or arbiter when it comes to that dispute so in terms of reaction just an underscoring of what has long been held by a number of recent decisions by the united states the move of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem the blind eye being turned to the ongoing israeli settlement expansion into disputed land and the cutting of aid to palestinian refugees collectively well this was designed supposedly to push the palestinians to the negotiating table seems somewhat counter-intuitive all right well thank you very much with all the latest from the white house kimberly how it well i'll just arizona holder has more now from vague on reaction that to bolton's attack on the i.c.c. . the united states and c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not

a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world

trying really to defend its credibility even though the united states is not a member of the court also in that statement the i.c.c. saying that it will continue its mandate to carry out what it calls in the pen with an impartial investigations almost trying to say that it's not going to pick and choose court cases and that if it wants to try the afghan case it will so it use the pla matic language unlike the language used by bolton but at the end of the day without the political will of countries the i.c.c. cannot function we did speak to human rights defenders as well as former prosecutors and they're saying that the united states acts as if it is above the law that oh yes the nationals of every country can be tried apart from u.s. nationals and that the united states uses the. court as a political instrumental when it wants to do so and they cite the example of libya

for example when they referred libya to the i.c.c. the united states was among the un security council member states that did so so criticism human rights defenders and former prosecutors that the united states feels that it is above the law and the reaction from the i.c.r.c. i.c.c. really diplomatic language but at the same time stress the dismissing and not attaching really a lot of importance to what bolton set. the u.n. says more than thirty thousand people have been displaced by fighting in syria's last major rebel held province of idlib government and allied russian forces have increased their bombardment in the past week with aid groups worried for the safety of the three million people trapped there stephanie deca has the latest now from an taqiyya which is close to the border with syria. there's a huge numbers given by the united nations over thirty thousand people fleeing the

areas where the bombardment is taking place and going to different areas inside it of most of the people according to the united nations going into camps these are camps that are along the turkish border turkey's borders of course remain closed some people going to stay with relatives also others according to the united nations are an informal camps and others renting it just shows you the concern going forward particularly by turkey of a mass potential civilian exodus towards its borders its borders remain closed as we've said and it has no intention of opening them up regardless of what happens it says it is on his own and it is at capacity when it comes to dealing with syrian refugees hosting already over three million inside turkey so what what they're doing to prepare for this they tell us that they already have material inside syria in the sense that they can be setting up more camps more tense also medical facilities tree our facilities if that is needed because they do expect if the

offensive gets closer to the cities to the more densely populated areas they're warning and a lot of people have used this word of a potential bloodbath. a suicide bomb explosion in somalia's capital mogadishu has killed at least six people and injured many others the armed group al-shabaab has claimed responsibility for this latest act of violence to hit mogadishu this year has been morgan reports. huh the bomber targeted a local government building in mogadishu and was followed by gunshots the only thought i heard i was drinking tea when the car hit the key i fell down on the ground and saw other people on the ground as well but i was shocked the this is the second suicide blast and somalia's capital system on the al-shabaab claimed responsibility for that blast and dozens of other previous he said attacks in others not fighters they turned out they are talking is the they have attacked in

a terrorist attack now the situation has called of to some extent but there is still security measures security measures have been tightened in front of the state institutions and premises now this attack is very similar to the attack on the high national election commission last may when i salute claimed responsibility for that but so far according to the security sources this is this beautiful the science of a terrorist attack but the identity of the assailants has not been confirmed yet and with al jazeera life from london still ahead on the program iraq's prime minister arrives in basra to quell weeks of deadly protests over for public services an unsafe drinking water. and repressed imprisoned reeducated china is accused of widespread human rights abuses against the muslim minority population .
