after a day's travel to one of the mates can u.s. border around one thousand people arriving at the final base camp for a caravan of central americans they join about three thousand already here preparing for the final leg of their journey. my dream is to arrive in the united states to help my mother she has troubles i'm twenty seven and she raised me alone may god help me cross. but that crossing won't happen for some time if it does at all the u.s. authorities are processing asylum claims slowly and beefing up border security one has become a ball tonight this is just one of the long lines of people waiting to get into the sports complex that's been converted into a temporary migrant shelter but it was already almost full before their right and the challenge for authorities here into one is going to be what do they do with all these extra people. the new arrivals woke up after a night sleeping on

a baseball field. when we arrived it was freezing and we didn't have any shelter to the children so we all woke up points because of the jews there. with thousands more in the way the city's authorities don't know where they are temporarily put the the situation's increasingly volatile says t one as police chief in one night you. know city is prepared to receive this amount of people i think the perfect storm is brewing and us the ship will saudis to look at this we've got civil entry points along the border between which we could find these people in an orderly way. but for now they have nowhere else to go. home and how does it take one. u.s. supreme court justices faced off with the president over donald trump's criticism of a federal judge described a member of the bench who ruled against his asylum policy as an obama judge but

chief justice john roberts has publicly pushed back against trump's comments defending the independence of the judiciary saying we do not have obama judges or trumpet judges bush judges or clinton judges what we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. directly responded to roberts or bottle in a pair of tweets saying sorry chief justice john roberts but you do indeed have all bamma judges and they have a very much different point of view than the people who are charged with this safety of our country it would be great if the ninth circuit was indeed an independent judiciary but if it is why are so many opposing view on border and safety cases filed there and why vast number of those cases overturned please study the numbers they are shocking we need protection and security these rulings making

our country unsafe very dangerous and on wise ok let's speak to bruce fein in washington d.c. he's a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general as always bruises great to have you on the program thank you very much indeed for giving this your time i'm guessing that this kind of conversation these kind of comments are things that normally go on behind closed doors in the legal chambers and in the white house the significance this time around is that we're seeing this play out in public but why is that so significant. the significance comes because i believe the intent of the president is to be legitimize the judiciary or judges who rule against him and perhaps persuade them out of intimidation to avoid a tweet or an adverse criticism to rule or been the law in his favor now i think

you're absolutely right that these kinds of conversations go along and i participate them too and i have cases before judges the first thing i look who appointed them who is the senate sponsor what's their philosophy when i was in the justice department i helped pick federal judges and although we never asked them how would you rule in a particular case you can deduce from a political philosophy you know canons of interpretation that they endorse nine times out of ten how they would rule and so it is naive to suggest there aren't obama judges and and clinton judges not all of them are basically clones of each other but they have philosophical dispositions that generally align with the president's disposition because he's the one who actually had the nomination confirmed by the senate that doesn't mean that the judges always rule in favor of their political benefactor president eisenhower criticized very very sharply william brennan earl warren said there are two worst pixy ever made i think

historically you'd have to go back as far as the new deal when franklin roosevelt was very critical of what he called nine old men who lived what he said in a horse and buggy stage of jurisprudence when we were driving automobiles and his effort was rebuffed by the chief justice then charles evans hughes but there's a long gap between the one nine hundred thirty s. and today and it is irregular for the disputes like this to emerge from behind closed doors into open public display given the this is a very rare instance of this happening why do you think that john roberts has decided to speak out publicly on this occasion. i think it's because this is part of a pattern or you may recall that president equally was vehement against the district court in the court of appeals when it came to the travel ban saying that they're wrong headed they're stupid they're unqualified and it's just the general

nature of his temperament as president to take after the judiciary and i do think try to deal with him on his its rulings you may recall during his campaign he criticized the mexican american judge out in california saying it couldn't possibly be impartial in a case that had come up at least indirectly concerning mr trump because of his mexican american heritage and knowing that that trump was adverse to immigration through mexico or otherwise and i think it's that factor plus the fact that the judges like many other institutions are in some sense a club of fraternity and they expected that the chief justice who speaks for the entire body of federal judges would defend them from personal attacks of this sort bruce fein thank you very much indeed the e.u. is upping the stakes in its budget standoff with it's really taking the first steps toward slop in the country with fines the bloc says it's always populist government funds to spend far too much money and it's worried about what that will mean for

its huge debts loans the reports brussels. rome may be the eternal city but it's looking like someone needs to give it some attention the social as well as physical fabric of italy has been unraveling for years with high unemployment and a persistently stagnant economy. rather than pointing to the endemic corruption in italy has always suffered the populist coalition government to squarely blames austerity imposed by the european union or its problems but their vowed to break hardline spending rules from brussels has led inevitably to an all out confrontation with the european commission which has said it will impose sanctions and fines honestly if it doesn't change its budgets strace the situation in italy is of common concern euro area countries are in the same team and should be playing by the same rules the response to all that from opponents of austerity would be

look what happened to greece which eventually agreed to european demands and suffered years of economic hardship from which is still barely recovering the most important politician in italy the hard right interior minister matteo salvini said he was ready for a fight. the letter from brussels has arrived i was expecting one from santa claus as well we will respond politely as we always did but i will not back down the obvious political risk for the european commission in trying to beat italy into submission is it is a political tool for people like salvini who will say it only proves how undemocratic european institutions are asserting solving rights will be a key thing for populists not just in italy but across the continent before european elections next may. if the european commission doesn't get its way by then the european parliament could look very different if he looks determined to change the direction of europe's economic strategy the consequences could be destabilizing

. al-jazeera brussels south sudan has some of africa's largest oil reserves but years of war have left it struggling to make any money from them it hopes to return to full production though and it's courting investors to help iraq and reports from the oil fields over went back up and running oil is flowing again in these facilities in south sudan every barrel produced is vital to africa's youngest nation oil provide nearly all of its g.d.p. but the main operating company says not our wells are working in the south pole where the field here has the capacity to produce forty five thousand barrels per day and it's only producing twenty thousand and the station wasn't working for five years so some wells have issues such as electricity and their production here is a tough capacity all production halted four years ago when rebels attacked the facilities thousand and has the third largest oil reserves in sub-saharan africa

but the war was started in twenty thirty two years after two thousand and split from sudan with seventy five percent of the oil reserves resulted in major facilities being destroyed. production fell by nearly a third but now a deal signed in july promoted hopes of a return to full production for months on the country is still a long way short of its previous production level at the moment south sudan produces roughly one hundred fifty thousand barrels per day forty percent goes to operational costs and the government is left with ninety thousand barrels out of that twenty percent goes to oil partners such as china sea n.p.c. and religious patron asked and the government keeps the rest but even then the country still has to share some of the profits with the government of sudan that's because south sudan lacks the infrastructure to process and transport its oriel it has the used to dance infrastructure and still has to pay nearly a billion dollars to sudan as part of a financial agreement it signed following independence and the country's oil sells for five dollars less than the price on the international market every dollar

earned is vital to reduce the high inflation a well the one we are suffering things have become very expensive hopefully the price will go down in the modern yeah this is the market where i sell my goods and they are expensive prices have been going up but they have started going down since the resumption south sudan's government says it's a work to bring production back to previous levels by the end of the year for us it is very right because they want to be the country and i personally believe. and the price of oil you must continue to remain good usually in terms of what you really need to make sure that we benefit from. both. many wells are yet to resume production in a country that relies so heavily on oil the government is hoping its can keep the oil flowing to kickstart its struggling economy people morgan under their growing south sudan. united nations says urgent steps must be taken to avoid

a catastrophic famine in central african republic it's a clear to food security emergency just one level below a famine it says sixty percent of people need humanitarian assistance it's urging the government to guarantee the safe return of refugees so they can work the fields and produce food more than a million people have fled fighting since twenty thirty and. the world's policing body interpol has elected a new president following a bitter contest between russia and many western countries south korea's kim jong yang is taking charge replacing mang hallway who is under arrest in china over corruption allegations artists in the philippines are using their craft to fend off what they call creeping authoritarianism and the government tightens its grip on the media and other basic freedoms artists are taking their fight into the realm of the abstract jim allen allen dorgan reports. in the

continues to grow like the government's war on drugs that has left thousands of filipinos dead. the resurgence of protests art is seen as a response to the growing authoritarianism in the country but artists here tell us finding the moral courage to do so doesn't come easy. it is creative provocative and one that resonates more with ordinary working people and. that the more privileged in society. much of the art is identified with the leftist movement in the country one that's often been at odds with governments past and present it started. during the martial law period an artist tries to confess what he feels what he thinks should be seen by the public that challenge this people the thing. women

side of the sports. thank you very much the countdown to the twenty twenty two world cup is officially on football's biggest tournament will kick off in qatar in exactly four years time it's been moved from a traditional june july window to november and december to avoid extreme heat qatar will be the first country in the middle east to host the world cup and fever president gianni infantino believes the region is already benefiting when you think about all the debates discussions on human rights on workers' welfare well without the world cup these debates are not of happened and the improvements which have happened will not happen either so the world cup has already had before even

it starts a great social impact and this will be a great legacy not only for qatar but for the whole region our sports correspondent andy richardson was at an event in doha to mark the four year countdown earlier and there's more on what will make us as world cup unique. well in four years' time some of the world's best footballers will be kicking off the game with slightly more significance than this little kick about it's interesting talking to the fans at the world cup in russia just how many were still unaware the world cup was moving from its traditional june july window and into this november december slots and when cats are bid for the world cup and won it in c. thousand and ten they were bidding for a summer world cup and the eight stadiums that we use for the solomon will have a cooling technology whether or not that will be necessary this time of year is a different matter but what is definitely the case is that for the hundreds of

thousands of fans will be coming to cats are the experience will be that bit more pleasurable for coming during these cooler months and of course it will cause considerable disruption for many domestic leagues already this world cup will be the shortest since nineteen seventy eight twenty eight days as opposed to the thirty two days we saw in russia to try and minimize the disruption to some of the domestic leagues but it's inevitable that leagues will have to start sooner and finish a little bit late so what the organizers are hoping is that one of the compensations will be that often when international coaches get their players for it it's at the end of a long season and the players are exhausted that will not be the case for its allotment starting in november now one of the ongoing uncertain.
