secretary of homeland security relations with president donald trump happening strains by his treatment of migrants in mexico trying to get into the u.s. in reports from washington. it's fair to say that kiersten else and will go down in history as the most controversial secretary in the history of the young department of homeland security she put in place what many saw as draconian policies under her watch thousands of children were ripped from their parents trying to cross the southern border many housed in crowded camps until a federal judge stepped in and demanded the families be reunited she leaves office with potentially thousands of children misplaced separated from their families and the government now says it could take up to two years to reunite them all because for many they didn't keep appropriate paperwork her actions were met with scorn and widespread protests at her home. at a restaurant with marches across the u.s.
7:02 pm
and pleas from overseas that has got me to beg and ask president donald trump to please return my baby soon i don't want to keep waiting a long time two months is enough punishment for mothers to learn not to cross she responded with a tweet saying there is no formal policy of separating families and justified her order with this this is ministration did not create a policy of separating families at the border both of those statements were lies simply not true according to inspector general's report she also attempted to end the program that allowed hundreds of thousands of people from honduras and el salvador to stay in the u.s. legally some who had been here for twenty years. she was also known for going out of her way to try and publicly please her boss asked in congress about reports he referred to african countries with a curse word she deflected asked why he wanted more people to immigrate from
7:03 pm
countries like norway her response was widely criticized norway is a predominately white. country isn't that i'm i i actually do not know that serve but i imagine that is the case she made sure not to upset the president when asked about russian interference in the election i haven't seen any evidence that the attempts to interfere in our election infrastructure was to favor a particular political party but there is evidence the intelligence community has explicitly said the russians wanted to help president trump. in repeated trips to the border recently the president made it clear he saw security here as an important campaign issue he says he wants his officials to be tougher and even though she was repeatedly by his side and said she supported his policies in the end none of it was enough to please the president she tried so publicly to impress leaving her department more controversial there when she came and more concretely

thousands of families with the permanent scars of separation. al-jazeera washington nigeria has suspended mining in one of its northern states and ordered all foreigners and gauged in mining activities to leave the move comes after a surge in crime in some forest states military police and state security forces have been deployed in recent weeks to tackle criminal gangs behind a spate of killings and kidnappings well it's just joins us now from iran just what exactly is behind the calls or all of these mining operations enzyme virus states and that order for the foreigners to leave. well basically the nigerian government says there is a nexus between mining operations in that state and the criminal rising criminal attacks in some former state we're seeing in the last two weeks how bandits people
7:05 pm
that the government called bandits in fact a gunman invented several communities displaced hundreds and killed nearly one hundred people in the space of just ten days so the government is saying that the rise in criminality and centric can be traced properly or largely to mining operations that the government is saying the presence of foreign workers the presence of foreign elements in that area prospecting for gold either officially or unofficially give rise to such attacks but we seeing also another dimension to the problem because in some first aid it's not only attacks in mining sites we've also seen how people have been displaced from their homes over the past seven years we're seeing thousands of communities or other thousands of people in various communities such from their homes and are living in camps across the state and across other states in northwest nigeria and just how bad this the security situation in the northwest. well basically the situation is
7:06 pm
very very bad and we have apart from the attacks in the gold mining sites was also seen rising number of people being attacked in their homes in some areas villages are talking about bandits taking control of vast areas and even administration justice feeling a vacuum of government in those areas experts believe that there is little or no presence in such an areas of the northwest and the bandits are taking full advantage of that and imposing taxes and levison communities attacking those who resisted and because the nigerian military is actually trying to put out so many fires across the state they are currently engaged in operations in at least thirty of nigeria in such a sick state so you can see that the nigerian army and the other segments of the military is overstretched and the lack of enough men and material to deal with the situation is fueling more of such a crisis many people have been just dispossessed of their properties their homes
7:07 pm
and then the rising cases of kidnappings in the north west in particular has given a source of concern to not only the citizens but the government in the last two or three weeks we've seen a rising number of attacks and kidnappings along the. expressway is a highway that links the nigeria's capital to other parts of northern nigeria and in the last two weeks reports indicate that more than one hundred people may have been kidnapped on this highway alone so it's not only reason for a state we've seen a rise in cases of kidnapping banditry as well as attacks on various communities in that area. hundreds from five stars to just joining us there live from. now an airstrike by saudi m.r.c. coalition forces on a warehouse near yemen's capital has damaged a school killing eleven people many of them students dozens more were wounded in
7:08 pm
the attack on saturday as fans in the one reports. a pile of rubble were school once stood. the explosion took place in broad daylight as students attended class panic set in as the building collapsed around but i think it is hard to see the only can you everyone was a star some were crying and shouting in panic the situation was horrible as the school population is two thousand one hundred some girls students were killed and others wounded and are in hospital as a result of the missile strike the school building was destroyed two. dozens of victims were rushed to hospital children who were lucky enough to escape with their lives believe they know what caused the blast. the this is the lives of those we suddenly heard a jet fighter while we were at school we then had the first strike we remain calm
7:09 pm
then the second strike and then the third which was the strongest of all the building was damaged and we were injured by broken glass as the fourth strike came and we panicked and ran. the rebels also say the saudi emirate he led coalition is to blame they say fighter jets targeted a nearby chemical warehouse destroying the school in the process. so far there's been no comment from the coalition. the u.n. says one hundred civilians were either killed or wounded every week in yemen last year with children accounting for a fifth of all casualties. the coalition campaign has been criticized by rights groups for the high number of civilian deaths including the bombing of a school bus in twenty eighteen that killed more than fifty children. yemen is in ruins after years of fighting between government forces backed by the saudi u.a.e. coalition and who's the rebels and despite growing international pressure there is still no end in sight for what's being called the world's worst manmade

7:13 pm
partners political parties to form your coalition and it seems to be that the now is actually leading on that front even if he may get less votes for his own party dilly could no guns party the other party the blue and white party they there actually managed to put a fight i think this is the first time in ten years that a now is facing an actual. contender who can beat him but it's not enough to beat him by the numbers it's you also need to beat him by your colleagues and partners and on that front i think i think the grand people the party is weaker than the likud so what would the opposition have to do to unseat netanyahu did they need to netanyahu has been reaching towards the right to try and sweep up coalition partners do to the challengers the blue and white they
7:14 pm
need to go to the right as well. the blue eyed coalition to i dare start cooperating with mine or our ups part is get them on board or they will have to start to corporate better with religious altar ultravox parties. blue and white the second person on the list a little a period has been on a political fight with the older ultravox parties for years now and because he is unable to convince them to become his coalition partners it seems difficult for deploy blue and white party to form the. government and as we're talking to our part is it's not even it's not even in the discussion it's not in the discourse it's not something the the other parties claimed they're not part of the of this and they don't want to be part of the coalition of the israeli quality so

7:25 pm
a whole rather joins us now from westminster with the latest updates in georgia what are the key developments we should be looking out for today. a couple of key sort of moving parts to keep an eye on at the beginning of this latest crucial week not the first of course but the latest crucial week for brics it one of them the passage of and p. initiated legislation through the house of commons behind me later that would compel the government toss the e.u. for an extension that is likely to pass into north of this evening and an extraordinary development in itself that would be the other the ongoing search for across party compromise between the conservative party in the labor party talks last week between to resume in germany corbyn fizzled out towards the end of the week labor saying that the government weren't offering anything new anything substantial even the way of compromise both sides of course treading on eggshells in the search for compromise because both parties risk being broken if they are
7:26 pm
seen to be compromising too far with the other the reason why on the weekend filmed an interesting. announcement speech if you like from her country retreat check was seated on the sofa looking very casual it was described as a sort of homely fireside chat with the nation she again reiterated the need for prosperity compromise some observers looking at that and suggesting that were perhaps the prime minister now just four days away from the latest cliff edge breaks it deadline two days away from an emergency e.u. summit that's reason may be may herself be preparing for a leap into the abyss a deal with jeremy corbin i have a job we keep discussing extraordinary developments last returns that when you mention just error tells a lot of more about that made by and pains to force the prime minister into asking the e.u. for a further delay. yes well that's off the back of an amendment
7:27 pm
that was voted on last week a very narrow victory for backbench m.p.'s over the government just two votes in it allowing them essentially to make the law and that. historic development up ending hundreds of years of precedent in parliament it's normally of course the government to make law this lauri's aimed at avoiding a no deal breaks in the at the end of this week it's a sort of guarantee policy against that forcing the government to go off and ask for an extension in reality of course the government has already asked for that extension to resume a has written to donald to the council president ahead of that summit on wednesday asking for an extension and talks are going on tomorrow in berlin and paris along those lines and complicated it is but the reality is no matter the shenanigans of the building i'm here it won't be m.p.'s and it will be the government to decide on whether an extension is granted it will be the other twenty seven members of the european union. thanks very much sara for that latest update on the break since
7:28 pm
a situation john all their life friends in london. as a bourses of brazil's former presidents have rallied outside his prison window a year after luis in the sea that was jailed for corruption his workers party say he's a victim of political persecution others are celebrating a crackdown on the political elite or reports. i lula still has support across brazil and around the world he was credited with lifting millions of brazilians out of poverty while president from two thousand and three to two thousand and ten and left office with sky high approval ratings before . but then came the lover shot or car wash corruption scandal which implicated hundreds of brazilian politicians and business leaders lula was caught in his web convicted of accepting bribes from construction companies in return for contracts i
7:29 pm
he's always denied the charges saying they were a political vendetta to keep him from running in last october's presidential elections elections many believe he would have won he went to prison defiant do you feel i'm doing a very conscious thing i told my comrades that if it depended on me i would not go to prison but i will go i will go because they will say tomorrow that lul is out of the way that is hiding but no i am not hiding i will show them that i am not afraid that i am not going to run and they will know that i'm going to prove my innocence they need to know that. the seventy three year old was sentenced to twelve years than earlier this year a further thirteen so. that his legal team continues to fight for his release on legal and technical grounds his left wing workers' party on political grounds the united nations human rights committee is looking at his case. but the political mood in brazil has changed president jaya balsa noddle who swept to office on
7:30 pm
promises to fight corruption said he hopes his predecessor rots in jail. the prosecutor said joe morell who first put behind bars is now the justice minister and. the many however continue to demonstrate that his release they remember brazil when the economy was healthier when the government was promoting poor indigenous and black communities but his new languishes in jail that for many brazilians seems like a long time ago. that al-jazeera. shareholders although in the sun have applauded and shares us the former boss of the japanese car company was fired from the board of directors has carlos ghosn has already been revived this chairman after his arrest for financial misconducts in the fender angry shareholders demanded an explanation for how the scandal went unnoticed for years the sixty five year old says he's innocence michael pan heads the japanese
7:31 pm
news agency she gets it he says the corruption case is complicated and yet charges which have been put against him this time are actually in many ways more serious you know previously you may recall he was essentially accused of underreporting his income to the stock exchange this time the prosecutors are saying that he directly embezzled money from nissan for his personal benefit and that of his wife essentially he used a shell game of of companies to transfer needs some money into his own accounts so this is a more serious round of accusations made by the prosecutors my analysis is that it's far more likely that this is part of a boardroom coup and that and that. claims that he's a century been set up doesn't make a lot of sense so for example. if there if the sun's executives were concerned
7:32 pm
about his pay why did they never go to him and say we're concerned about your pay instead they immediately went to the prosecutors in order to have him charged with serious crimes thus hurting the entire company's reputation so it doesn't quite make sense that this is a straightforward criminal case. the largest airline in the united states is counseling more flights because of the issues surrounding the boeing seven three seven max american airlines says ninety flights a day will remain canceled for another two months around three hundred fifty max jets are grounded world wines following two crashes within five months they won't be allowed to fly again until boeing satisfies regulators that suspect ante software still software has been fixed and the evasion journalists have kept from sadness it will take time for boeing to win back passengers confidence when those
7:33 pm
planes start flying there are going to be nervous flyers and i think it's true what plane has been more scrutinized then this one right and i personally would get on one using that logic but you can't blame people for being nervous and alternately with everything at this aircraft has been through yeah it's just going to take a lot of saved departures in landings over a period of weeks and months for people like you to really gain back that confidence that fixes that boeing is working on to address the issues that caused these crashes that obviously never should have gotten to this point so you can see that boeing does have somewhat of a credibility prices u.s. regulators the f.a.a. has by some of being late to ground the plea to it's just going to take them some time and doing everything they can to restore. these two crashes of an aircraft type that makes up a tiny percentage.
