3:06 am
unmanned drones then dropped bombs on the same target iran's revolutionary guard said it was retaliation against those responsible for last week's attack. at a military parade. in western iraq gunmen killed at least twenty five people many of them members of the guard the response to the show of such military force it suggested there was a clear target but iran's leaders remain vague about the exact identity of the attackers. if there was supposed to be a public message the i.r.g.c. would have said so in their statement but as it is anywhere in the world any measures taken by a military or politician carry some messages may be the obvious messages of iran's decisive will to conduct a permanent and serious fight against centers that produce train and equip terrorism at different levels what the i.r.g.c. forces did early this morning was this will in one statement attributed to iran's revolutionary guard the target is said to have been an i sold base which it says
3:07 am
has u.s. backing. state t.v. showed a message painted on one of the missiles death to america israel and saudi arabia there is little doubt who leaders into iran really planned but whether there is some covert american action against iran or not the missile strike was as much about political theater as it was about a military response. you know that the security if you renia nation is our red line and we won't compromise on this issue we took tough revenge against american and arab backed terrorist groups they used bullets we responded with missiles and leaders into iran say it's only the beginning it could have gone differently iran could have conducted a ground campaign in tandem with syrian allies but flying its own missiles through iraqi air space to hit a target inside syria by itself is about sending a message to everyone with a military presence there think twice before threatening iran. iran.
3:08 am
plenty more ahead on this news out of the international court of justice rules on a territorial dispute would between bolivia and. iran's parliament to choose a new president as a deadline looms. if you're going to do your duty. and later in sport the verbal sparring has begun ahead of one of the year's biggest boxing contests. all that's still ahead but first the u.k. minister responsible for making sure breaks it happened says his government is preparing for a no deal divorce from europe time is fast running out for the u.k. to agree a position to avoid crashing out of the european union neither wing of the party shows any after time for compromise lawrence lee has been listening to their
3:09 am
arguments. withhold the points of breck's it is to make britain grace again restore some rule britannia and victorian global significance first stop then the people who say the only way is to jettison entirely the european projects they talk of swashbuckling trade agreements with mexico in china we know there were eighty nine people at their meeting because they voted eighty eight to one to reject the government's plan the british people who voted to leave wanted to have a confident vibrant britain back they knew what leaving new york in union meant and they were relying upon m.p.'s to come back and deliver that deal for them and they haven't done of course they haven't because many of them remain as many of them just didn't have the spirit and will to negotiate strongly with the european union up the road the other wing of the party these people traitors to the end see europe brigade are fighting tooth and nail to hold a new referendum on whatever ends up happening their numbers are growing and no
3:10 am
they do not think they're subverting democracy. i believe strongly that we need to seek the informed consent of the people before we proceed with rex's i've just come from a meeting where there was an expert there talking about. access to food free policy food standards i don't remember that being discussed in any detail in the referendum twenty sixth and i think if the british public aware of the implications of what we are doing i think they they they may consider. throughout all this the government continues to say it is confidence of its plan its. citizens. it's now been rejected by cope with as of its own party the european union and a vast majority of voters surely cannot last off as conference ends on wednesday it will be exactly two weeks until the european union needs to decide if it has any
3:11 am
kind of offer from the british that it can go with. it isn't even clear it'll be a government of this country then that's alone a coherent plan when the referendum happened to leave slogan was about taking back control you couldn't possibly make it up these people are tasked with determining the future of the u.k. the rights of millions of british and european citizens britons place in the world in or out remain who leave they don't know if they're coming or going something is going to have to give lawrence lee al-jazeera birmingham any united states migrant children are reportedly being relocated from overcrowded shelters to a tent city in the middle of the night according to the new york times as many as sixteen hundred children have been removed from shelters to a camp a tornado in west texas since may the numbers of detained migrant children a spike to more than thirteen thousand that's five times the number of last year
3:12 am
from april to june around two thousand five hundred children are separated from their parents after crossing the border illegally when u.s. president donald trump introduced zero tolerance policy. is policy advisor for the migrant rights and justice division at the women's refugee commission she joins us now from washington thanks very much for being with us so in your view this is this is very much. a problem of the of the u.s. government's own making it just explain to us why. sure so this administration has implemented various policies has several practices that are creating a problem where there really isn't any you know i think for starters and in large part the ministration is holding children holding you know families and individuals for longer including those seeking asylum in our country and as well as is not
3:13 am
releasing children and in timely manner from custody but this is a lot of this isn't that is the result of the the child separation the family separation policy that the trumpet ministration introduced for. people entering the u.s. illegally so i mean certainly that that was a huge problem and you know there are still families that were separated under the zero tolerance policy that want to be reunified and that have not been reunified so certainly but you know right now it's a small fraction of those individuals it's also part of another clan that was implemented in agreement that was implemented at the same time that zero tolerance was taking off a plan that makes it more difficult for children to be released from the custody of the federal government and what's the what's the psychological effect of this sort of thing has on the children of that age. sure so you know
3:14 am
the psychological effect for children who are separated from their families some of them were quite young some of those children didn't even remember their parents when they were reunified with their parents later so it's quite a profound effect on children on their wellbeing on their development but even for children you know children who are riding alone tend to be older you know what we call unaccompanied children and even for those children detention for prolonged periods of time is extremely harmful to their well being detention is simply just not a place where children should be and much less for a prolonged period of time and one of the challenges for for immigration advocates in the us who are having to work with the current policies yeah that's a great question you know being an immigration advocate right now is challenging we're dealing with trying to work with an administration that. you know doesn't
3:15 am
want to compromise that doesn't want to implement any reasonable or truly humane approach to you know to what's going on i think that's one and then two the administration is creating crises there are there is no crisis right now at the border but there are policies again as i mentioned you know not releasing children detaining for longer seeking to lower conditions even for detention and to hold families and to hold children for longer you know those that's creating a ballooning effect it's increasing the population that's detained and that's what they're pointing to but that's not a real crisis. good to speak with. joining us from washington thanks very much thank you. now the international court of justice in the hague has rejected bolivia's bid for access to the pacific ocean through chile the ruling comes after five years of deliberations and his final court said chile

3:17 am
through dialogue as good neighbors in spite of the negative ruling this whole case has shed light on the problems that will leave us as is one of the biggest problems it faces in order to be able to develop believe you as one of south america's poorest countries and they claim that not having access to the pacific ocean is a major problem for its kaname mooses billions of dollars every year because it has to import and export goods through chilean ports it will what alice says that he will continue to fight to be able to access the pacific ocean in spite of this precedent set in chile accused it will want alice of using this whole conflict politically he also said that he had given the will leave young people false hope. or six days from now brazilians will be going to the polls in presidential and legislative elections but a large percentage of candidates on the ballot are tied to some of brazil's
