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. i don't restaurant with marches across the u.s. 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 countries like norway her response was widely criticized norway is a predominately white. country. i'm. 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 . rising unemployment in iraq is provoking growing demands for government action particularly by young people the international monetary fund says youth unemployment is more than double the government's official rate of twenty percent. ports from baghdad. this is hosain messier. he's got

leave the move comes after a surge in crime in zamfara states those are the headlines on al-jazeera counting the cost is coming up next they with us. hello i'm adrian figure this is counting the cost of al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week a war economy a divided nation two central banks debt piling up libya's wealth has pitted the east against the west. also this week our conflict with russian backed fighters has

hurt ukraine's most important economic region plus we find out why one of india's most trusted economists has cast doubt on the nation's economic growth. almost eighty years after the fall of want to get off his regime in libya the country is deeply divided between east and west a war economy has enriched armed groups at a battle to control the country's oil fields is ongoing as the forces of hell if i have to advance on tripoli al jazeera is laura but mentally explains how he's funded after four years of recession improved political and security arrangements have seen the economy bounce back all his underpinned that growth but it's also the cause of the ongoing political tussle to control of the country's wealth. while the united nations backs the internationally recognized government in tripoli in the eastern city of al bayda there is

a parallel government affiliated with the to brook based parliament and the warlords. and it's backed by saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt both governments have their own central banks the central bank in arbeit a city has sold bonds worth more than twenty three billion dollars to fund its wage bill watterson prints up money for tripoli russia has printed ten billion dinars for the parallel ministration in the east. libya is a wealthy nation it's eighty billion dollars in oil revenues and foreign reserves are managed by tripoli but have to has seized oil fields in the east and the south of the country to pay for this and to keep the economy's head above water libya's state own national oil company plans spend fifty billion dollars to increase production to prevent two thousand and eleven levels as the country's debts keep

piling up there's very little inclination for all sides to come together. and the conflict in libya is not based on ideology thoughts or different situations what's going on in libya is a conflict of well such a conflict has to be sorted out in a sense that what has happened during the last eight years should be stop the system before was a big failure as it was based on collecting money plundering the wealth and exploiting influence for more plundering record tearing and corruption. even as the un has bridge the divide for negotiating a ceasefire in tripoli a new thirty four billion dollar budget and in trouble in the all crescent selami slammed those benefiting from the chaos. is not normal of all the fun in libya and you million every single day at a time where the potentials of the medium class are shrinking where they are also in libya a lot of officials insist to stay in their posts which allow them to get fortunes

that are not invested at all in libya unfortunately in libya in our region they seized the public money for investing it and laundering it. the east continues to set up ministries and oil company hiring thousands of soldiers and civil servants the central bank plans to sell more debts to finance its new ministries raising doubts the two halves of the country have any desire to unify. sure there is a manly for counting the cost out to sea or. serious economic status added ali spoke to ricardo fabiani a geo political analyst at energy aspects he began by asking if the united nations' envoys assessment that the conflict had nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with the nation's wealth was true. i would tend to agree with the u.n. special envoy on this i don't think ideology really police any significant role in the conflict if anything ideology tends to be

a layer or an excuse that's what sides and to use in order to increase their rich timoci especially abroad especially internationally actually when you look at me and call for what emerges is that's what really matters is it's all about arts controlling the brands whether it's all or whether it's access to foreign currency and the militias have been fighting each other particularly in places like tripoli exactly because they need and they want access to the rants your in order to reduce tribute it and to affect only support their patronage that it's and what do nations like saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt hope to achieve by supporting cully for half the. well there are long term goal is basically all about the beneath you first of all the stuff that is asian of libya particularly when it comes to a country inject the show has

a very long and porous border with libya and is obviously concerned with the problem of terrorist groups using crossing the border to in order to attack egypt but when it comes to you do the u.a.e. and saudi arabia. is equally important but obviously what they care about is their suppression of the is the most groups that are seen as part of the western libyan government and the west and the big corporation they believe to how we've asked our is part of their sort of ideological war you of anti islamism basically the opposition to that was the brotherhood in more intern or all across the region so if you are going to look onto ideology people like heart there also is and on the other side used ideology to boast and to use their own introduce in the eyes of our nerves like saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

so is there an end in sight i mean if you consider what's happening on the east side of the country you've got a parallel economy you've got institutions being created that doesn't seem like an end game where if somebody wants to unify the country it's not necessarily a game and most importantly a military end game to the conflict in libya remains despite all the planes and all the posts from eastern front people after claiming that they can actually aim for tripoli they can conquer to tripoli in the next few weeks this is still remains and released even though you controls now two thirds of the country yes trying to build parlow institutions in eastern libya is trying to centralize. our most importantly the endgame here remains a negotiated settlement now the point here though is that in the eyes of people

a hostile or a new bush in that settlement right now with him controlling two thirds of the country is a negotiated settlement on easter so somewhere like some sort of agreement where he can be the most important the dominant player if exactly because you controls two thirds of the country and it controls most importantly more than ninety percent of oil resources in libya so all the conversation is shifted here it's now all about empowering hafter and convincing all the other parties to join him even though it might not like him it may not want him. as a teacher effectively in charge of the country and to that end the twenty three billion that the central bank in the east has raised and the money that's being printed and sent from russia is that to help him in these pools well especially when it comes to support from russia which has been i would say quite a bit years in. the after the you want to support him but not want to be seen

exclusively backing somebody like hastert who still want to talk without room on these are the kind of measures that they can use effectively to support him in her subtle way it can still be seen as supporting after y.-o. not really throwing all their support so yes all these financial measures are i would say tools that are used to give some degree of interest or perhaps are who needs to entertain to support a very large other niche network and obviously to support. these of its army which continues to expand continues to grow balls in terms of career. territorial control also in terms of the number of soldiers and officers that are not part of this. size or so have to he controls the oil but he's not able to sell the oil

so this is this of course is a problem for him right. not necessarily i think it's a misreading of what actually hearthstone seeming for what he wants is to be seen as a legitimate player in that you can call and most importantly as somebody who can bring stability and therefore can be trusted by international community so for him actually controlling the oil is an instrument it's a tool that he can use to boost his all legitimacy he can basically go to the international community and to the west in particular and say look i control the oil here and yet i'm not trying to sell it in. i'm still keeping everything as it is on the arrangements are still buying it or i am the person who can bring order and stability to your sector and i will not attempt to send an independent yes of course he did try to pass to do this then was more sort of isolated

a tent rather a strategy that he was seriously pursuing ricardo fabiani thank you very much for your time thank you still to come on counting the cost it's bigger than apple alphabet and amazon combined we take a dive in the saudi aramco this financial. but first an actor who once played the president of ukraine in the hit t.v. show is leading the race to unseat president petro poroshenko whoever wins the second round run off will inherit a deadlocked conflict in the east with russian backed faces now into its fifth year the war has hurt ukraine's most economically important region drained public resources and exhausted voters and there's no end in sight now to zero as jonah hole reports now from the city of mary a pole where the conflict is never far away. in ukraine's war zone a new breed of entrepreneurs. alexi used his disability payout as an injured veteran

to set up a pizza business. being given to motivated people are happy to spend their money rather than save it because they know anything could happen at any moment. he's not particularly enthusiastic about the upcoming presidential election or have they gotten back. because of their spinelessness it took volunteers to protect this country where the leadership was too weak to protect it it's all soldiers like alexi from the port city of mariupol formed the hours of but talon in two thousand and fourteen famous for preventing russian backed separatists from extending their territorial gains in the donbass region all the way to the sea but mario poll has paid a heavy price its once busy port sits idle empty of the cargo ships that carried steel and coal produced here to international markets russia's efforts to disrupt
