limbs are chronic and with time they need more care many of these cases appear after the fighting has finished people need to continue their lives regardless of their disability with rising inflation and riddling help it's difficult to keep producing high quality prosthetics every time the exchange rate in turkey changes it means fewer limbs can be manufactured but for children like donor fatigue rising prices and border problems don't mean much all she dreams of is to overcome what hinders her from being treated like all the other children in her school osama bin job it out of the era as the anthem. still ahead for you on the program on of the world's biggest automaker scraps plans to manufacture a car here in the u.k. and says bracks it is to blame. and we meet the man selling pieces of baghdad's golden age and his fight to record iraq's rich cultural history.

pick up to around seven celsius there for paris london still staying up into double figures but whether once again knocking on the door the full and for wales western england a good part of scotland some weather to say making its way into the far north of africa temperatures suppressed for algiers tunis and for tripoli so just about getting up to around twelve degrees celsius weather just running across northern parts of libya by cheese day afternoon. in recent years the sawhill of north africa has witnessed the so-called war on terror. but is this a visual narrative. masking a larger battle. a battle for the earth's natural resources.

shadow war in the sahara on culture. welcome back a quick look at the top stories pope francis has made an impassioned plea to end the war in yemen as he begins a visit to the u.a.e. want to make coalition partners fighting in the civil war this is the country's warring sides have been holding talks aboard a un charter vessel in the red sea in an attempt to save the fragile the day to cease fire the two sides were meant to withdraw their forces from the strategic port city last month and our other top story u.s. president donald trump has again warned that you would consider sending

a minute treat to venezuela speaking to the american network c.b.s. trump also said that he had turned down a meeting with president nicolas maduro. well in the interview the u.s. president has again pushed for the withdrawal of his troops from afghanistan in what has become america's longest war a little over a week ago representatives for the u.s. and the taliban agreed on a framework for peace but while afghans are encouraged by talk of the war ending many fear a deal with the taliban could limits women's rights it's been nearly two decades since the u.s. led invasion toppled the taliban from power in the country. since then access to education has improved of the eight million schoolchildren in afghanistan more than two and a half million a girls in two thousand and four women were able to vote for the first time in decades or than a quarter of the seats in parliament are reserved for women they also make up nearly a fifth of the workforce it's a far cry from what life was like under the taliban when women were barred from

education and work force to wear the veil the taliban may have said they have moderated their approach to women's rights but there are no women involved in these current peace negotiations have a bar is a senior research jeff human rights watch she says that attitudes towards women are shifting in afghanistan about two years ago colleagues and i traveled around the country went to the south to kandahar the north to ball the east and on to higher as well as in kabul and around kabul talking to people about why girls were unable to go to school talking to parents and talking to girls themselves and one of the things that really struck me about that research is how often you would see within the same family really significant changes over time over a short amount of time so families in which the older girls were not allowed to go to school because people didn't value girls education didn't think it was appropriate for girls to be going to school and then in those same families you would see parents fathers and brothers and mothers really pulling all of their

resources even moving across the country sometimes to ensure that younger girls were able to study now israel has announced it's begun building a controversial new barrier along its border with gaza when finished the fence will be sixty five kilometers long and six meters high hundreds of palestinians have been killed and thousands injured in months of protests along the border harry force that has more from west jerusalem. well this is confirmation that work has now begun on what has been a longstanding plan by the israelis to build a much more substantial much higher much stronger border fence along the israel gaza border it will run along the same course as the underground barrier which israel has also been constructing to prevent tunnels from gaza territory into israeli territory and it is accompanied by a warning from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that despite the fact that elections are upcoming in israel ninth of april is the date for those

elections to take place that israel would take any military action that it deemed necessary unless hamas continued to ensure that quiet prevailed along the border of course the protests have been going on on that border for ten months now there are also efforts underway by the egyptians and the qataris to try to ensure that quiet prevails the political leader of hamas which controls the gaza strip is now honey and is in cairo is an understanding that the egyptians are saying that they will maintain the opening of the rough our border crossing if hamas continues or does more to restrain the border protests but the fact that the these protests and the situation on the border is extremely tense and could lead towards an escalation has been evidenced again today sunday with the publication of a video which showed what took place on the twenty second of january when an israeli soldier was struck in the helmet by

a bullet fired from gaza and territory islamic jihad claiming that that was their action shooting that israeli soldier after he himself had been firing into a crowd of protesters and the fact that his helmet protected him from significant injury or even death could be really the line between what might have been a major escalation and which what and what actually took place which was an israeli tank firing on a hamas border post killing. one thomaston even so it does remain extremely delicate situation and on top of the fact that already according to the united nations last week we have seen two hundred ninety five palestinians killed in these ten months of protests six thousand injured by live fire twenty nine thousand injured altogether japanese carmaker nisanit scrapped plans to build its new s.u.v. here in the u.k. warning that uncertainty of a brakes it is making it harder to plan for the future the next generation x. trial is set to be manufactured in sunderland the company's announced it will now

jobs at that massive plant in something and at least not in the short term because the other models that are made there for example the very successful eco model called the leaf that will still continue to be made in the in the hundreds of thousands of units at sunderland. a train has derailed in northern india killing at least seven people the accident took place near sahar diet berzerk in the state of bihar best cures have been searching the wreckage for passengers who might still be trapped inside the train was heading to india's capital new delhi. the australian government says the last four migrant children detained at a camp on the pacific island have now are being moved to the united states and children will be flown with their families as part of a resettlement deal equate with the administration of former president barack obama australia has held asylum seekers arriving by sea in offshore camp since two

a geisha in in preparation for disasters and rising sea levels also have big costs but i want to use own contribution to global climate change is small even so it's doing all the time to reduce it further there are solar farms and coconut plantations the trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow the coconuts themselves are harvested and squeezed for their oil it's a biofuel replacement the diesel they get power generators to make electricity one coconut will give you one liter of oil and with what we've got yeah it's fine now we're off a t.v. program definitely for one coconut but a few coconut powered televisions will make little difference to the global climate vanuatu's government believes the world's big polluters should compensate it for the damage that climate change does here and that if they won't voluntarily through

treaties and agreements and they'll try to force them to through the threats of legal action the government is considering how best to sue big policing countries and fossil fuel companies so at this stage we're investigating the options doing our background work we're working with a number of lawyers in different parts of the world are also looking at our evidence base that we're going to need to prove in court by. that would be hard suing a company needs to happen in the company's national court giving them the home advantage taking legal action against the country means going to the international court of justice it only considers cases where the country being sued agrees to the case being heard but there is another avenue here that can take and that is to ask for an advisory opinion and that isn't legally binding but it does set the direction and it gives the world a sense of exactly how the. legal issues that i want to sleep there's hope the

possibility that countries or companies might have to pay compensation one day will increase their potential financial liabilities now scaring off investors unless they take action to minimize those risks so those legal action is the threats from the wall too would rather settle out of court andrew thomas al-jazeera. antique shops used to do a roaring trade in baghdad but years of conflict and threats of kidnapping a force selous to shop the shops in the markets go online instead. matheson has met one trader who is determined to keep his stall and all the pieces of history it holds. selling history in baghdad. has owned his little antique shop for twenty five years the used to be dozens of stores like his crammed into baghdad's back streets. iraqis have their history and culture and people in turn

now make the car as its plant in japan do stay with us talk to al-jazeera is coming up next but there will be more news after that in about twenty five minutes time. when the american government first partially shut down migrants and asylum seekers along the mexican border continued trying to enter the country. is.

getting a lot of. efforts by president trump to force the democratic party which controls the house of representatives to fund a border wall had reached an impasse meaning no agreement on a budget the plan includes five point seven billion dollars for a strategic deployment of physical barriers or a wall. in other words what happens here impacted the normal functioning of unrelated operations of the united states government. have been to our to you was there. and at the center of all of this are of course the migrants themselves like they've been payers from guatemala and hector from in salvador will tell us their stories like that yes for.

some simply jump over the wall others specially men seek the help of smugglers to cross the border. trump said as he was the military to build a very high wall. we're on. the crisis also affecting people in mexico who live alone to train migrants take to get from central america to do united states like alfredo no place who lives into one i always try to help the people that come into the business or. just ask me for. a food or for a calling there was a little confrontation between residents feel like yes and the migrants are were living near a true rocks a lot of people think that you guys are invaders you are criminals if you had an

american in front of you who thought that well would you say. today on talk to others iraq would meet the people at the center of the crisis along mexico's northern border. it may seem like a difficult think but if you know the area this border is not that hard to cross at least that's the impression you get when you talk to people smugglers. according to have year a few days of carefully planned walk is all it takes for people who i do wise might not risk it to cross the border with his help and to do united states.

but with helicopters above border patrol employing body detectors on the ground and with a partial reward to stop them this one bill during the george w. bush administration how do they actually do it. have year grew up in nogales along the border with arizona and has been doing this since he was fourteen for more than twenty five years. we wanted to know how it all really works none of them of korea and almost i mean and. we are very somber coming over and. annoying and. president trump talking about the war with the u.s. soldiers that have been deployed along the border with helicopters and all of that is it more complicated. than almost good enough.

for the out of my. remote get a can of one of them and poco complete look at coming back with a mine but there's always a new way right. but i am coming with a button or move you say we're going to fill up or out of my. mind or out over these twenty six years how has it changed. there's a lot of those but i thought i'd ask what all this where is say's yet there which showed a. good thing of the with dean thing because if they thought a. what and back what they think over to. them we all moved. in math. and that. eventually. it would have no not at the nick if it going on of what.

those b.s. that are the what of the half with and i mean and have you ever been caught they might have a. map of a port on the border and how much does it cost and then the. phoenix single me in the us a. yard or show me to my i would have done it to it's good business. in the middle and that's just for you to hold and would. know no money from of roddie of. it by that. and so you stop in arizona and then someone else takes it further you can see the love watermelon way paula got together when i won that guy's a either one of them behind me and i thought i referred him to thought but i should

go with him but i don't know i. don't mean. yeah i think that in the. end why do you do is a dangerous job when the right. yes the border at the moment the wall here how is it in this area. but at this. point the. they know nothing nothing. nothing nothing but a family and from it so they just jump. in and they just walk over it's that easy thing we also heard about american people acting as vigilante is having weapons shooting at migrants or as ireland seekers are probably people like you know the whole throws the almost the but every

pattern is that the political. thank you in the case on the. stand in of a come on the what not all the almost none for autonomy for every family the bottom of the foot and on the whole of the thumb one away with no one of the sort a mass. of butter on them and so you depend a lot on information on the ground basically and you have your own intelligence network underground to tell you where to go and. the plan is important. enough that what end of a bit of them one of them would hit and so i just want to do a little bit more detail isn't to do logistics of crossing would have to happen at a day or at night when i wasn't at that event but. this can someone ocus in a mother whether someone's in among them

a. weapon in the. symptom of that if you move one going to reality you know these that them but i'm not them but i know you know this and know jen and knowledge they've been there that they would have them do you have to be armed for that. when the but i was in the town. but then that's. my luck and it's going to get better luck and what's the biggest group that you can take in one crossing. so you can do that alone you know. but what the what and the male of the there is in the end part of the money they pay is you provide food and sleep and all of that security obviously it's gone on. and on. your list by way of on a call me a. rope. you know one of the nails i assoc i'm

going to come any. i get them in there then grow up on. the. bone and a bone but i don't have these and that anything. have your words for i'll chop a scene a lower card which controls this area on the mexican side and he says the cartel also controls territory on the american side of the border. the cartel uses these rugged mountains to smuggle drugs and people both in close coordination but at the same time so it's the same route the drugs and and the people. the. little. but it's never together no go for the safety of the drug operation and for the safety of the people. since but if they would rather use it wouldn't of but there's coordination. you

know on a plate and then at the cables that are once you cross that wall who is on the other side or what territories that. are not going to them then then it but it isn't the case that i'm going on in the sense of. there's one of the three yellow van that i thought he would have but i can. think again that once you cross into does states how far from the border do you go. and then you come back. out of it so you get that she finishes in that point and then someone else take it to another territory and. in the last two to three months has it been more complicated defeat in that it.

look at the path and then the from then on the miliband it. must. jump said he wants to military to build a very high wall. so now on the war there i heat sensors their body movement sensors. their helicopters but trolling their border guards how did you get around all of that knowledge there that the. there he. this and sort of. you know this. but some of what happened. and i think i'm when i went. so you have to go to the

experts in your team. that the go to the things that are muslim and it's better than i care because they're going to rethink their government and then of openness in a very thin on the bottom there but that had been a moment about that. with the know that i lent the sim but as the game of the moment on the up is on the home office and there's a thing then thin and then you look at the via going on with them going on what they can and. so old it does mean you are walking with your clients someone is guiding you see and look when have you ever thought about going and settling in the united states. because you have a better job here. but what i think. the

b.n.p. is from guatemala she began her journey alone but met her miss from one do arrest alone to way and fell in love. although she started out determined to cross into the united states she says she is revaluate says when you're going to. see it. you are not for that i mean the. us. you said goodbye to your mother and there's a goodbye to your friends and you didn't know what was going to happen what did they say. they gave up. their manuals but i. don't for no matter what they say that they know me nor even of the. millions but the. bad old. may.

of those are still says. a dissident when up over this song going to want. to do without me is that a model for young. no one even to see that. just by going to the mill and those are the joy of the hottest thousand meals in. the hotel us here . but it gave me sonja said of my. want to return to go to arlo and see get awarded a what their normal local mom which will bring in get a war going to be rock this little bit of the ok yeah you say. this but on the. yeah that i guess our laws might be a heap of. president trump said you were invaders. other people say people like you come and don't speak the language and you know behave badly

you think it's going to be easy once you cross there are no us a man. this or that which i had that are c.-span they gave the. bedell i can't there when i get out there is only me and the scare logical in. many are you that. little so almost a not a demigod also. you know so though somewhat of a want to stir be anybody merrily entering i will see as. you say these i know i called but also when i spot a sauna hollowness you know either way this is the most of i want to stand up for ya was seeing was that a man has the we had up. there will we ever know. a sequel markandey why not that we allow these things you don't mean was made gunnell not

get into hot evil mean one of these thing i at last miss most is the loneliness is not in the heart you all know in order to get out there by north america. getting but if you can stay in mexico and you have your love and you have your papers and you can find a job why not stay here or else a deal is serious when normal when i. feel and that will not be on my mental set. is a bit to me you living in this and the journalists government ask you about you all the time when before we didn't really look at you when the borders clause when all these rumors about the two leaders. and biasing marry into . a. whole while will mean evil me

but us are not in good up. but opposition against migrants does not just come from the american side of the border. here into one there is some worry as well. no it can take a while before you hear it after some prodding afraid to no place every street owner an accountant says he feels his town has been hijacked. but he also blames the mexican government for not handling the situation in a better way the very first day we had like five hundred people here many of them asking for power for your cell phones many of them children they asked me for a soda or a pizza i black i'd love to be. given to them. i actually hired to go on the venice to work here and there for exchanges going to give them a bad and good but i was kind of disappointed. that

third day because they were telling me hey we need to have breakfast we need to have lunch and we need to have dinner so. i don't think that was correct of that. you mean you felt it was when we felt yeah yeah that's right that's right that's the that's what it felt and general feel the people are so afraid of the central american but because and facebook. a lot of people say that they are modest i like to watch us or people that are coming to make damage to the site. actually and one of my face favorite publications of my business. i was somebody in the people to come over because it's a very secure place we have misspoken lives we have federal police taking care of

the security of the area and many of them just said oh no it's very dangerous because central many gonna start their. and it's not it's a very safe place it's a very safe place to be but there's no report of any kind of attack or robbery or harassment or there was. true rocks true rocks the police officers. and after that day on a normal day no anyone hurt so was what's happening now maybe through social media is that this fear mongering yeah. there's fear. we. can help. our government with something we would do it but we need to get our city back. right now it's been that. it feels like it's.

for some migrants crossing the border is not just a once in a lifetime experience. from one duress already made to journey as a teenager but after a difficult time in america he tells us he started drinking he returned to his home country where he eventually married. now he has changed his mind about america and wants to return his wife eight months pregnant already crossed the border he wanted his third child to be born in the u.s. to secure a citizenship for the baby and eventually the rest of the family this is what trump would call an anchor baby and he wants to put a stop to it so why did you leave we're going to marry. you are not a priority. so you were too young to understand how lucky you were to be in the

united states is. that common man. i want to gassing back at the mother grandmother with the ghetto i thought i was there but i have won what they will ever need coming from in a second and this wall every day they add to it it's how you are is more metal does it when you look at it a year fade that you might not be able to cross if it continues like this not as a boy i guess with what you know but of the famine i must write of this in the subway or get help with your help in the mohammed atta fathoming get out of them and you are part of the family and in the database he said you know why your father about a young girl might how you learn how to see your wife crossed can you explain to me how it all happened buzzing a moment in the heart of a lot of my mistake on the board it felt oh yeah. it was a you let me dog am no good here i cannot get here but i begin i don't need to tell
