federal police immigration officials now appear to be adopting a more aggressive approach toward migrants tearing through mexico's southern border . is traveling from us she and her family ramon a group of thousands of central american migrants that was recently rounded up. they came and started rounding people up it was very violent mothers ran screaming and children were crying foul and it was. some three hundred seventy five people were captured during a raid. on many who managed to escape ran off into the surrounding countryside over the next few days migrants were forced to move about in secret under the scorching mexican sun and with very little food or water. that caravan which had numbered as many as three thousand people has since split up mexico's president has maintained that the nation's immigration policy hasn't changed saying instead that

mexico's national migration institute is trying to achieve a more orderly and safe movement of people but the reality on the ground here in southern mexico is very different. checkpoints like this one along the highway leading north from the mexico guatemala border have seen an increase in federal police officers interviewing motorists and searching vehicles for undocumented migrants the growing criminalization of migrants traveling through mexico could mean the mexican government has caved to pressure from u.s. president donald trump. but mexico is now stopping people coming very easy for them to do is stopping people coming in through mexico as you know they keep it on if they keep doing that now if they don't or if we don't make. a deal with congress the border is going to be closed. hundred percent oh here are your interview about the along with a crackdown on migrants mexico is also no longer issuing humanitarian visas but

despite efforts to dissuade central americans from leaving their countries the flow of migration shows no signs of easing official estimates suggest three thousand migrants have transited through mexico so far this year. for families like the nurses who are fleeing poverty violence in their home countries and are unwilling to return to central america the only choice is to continue their journey north through mexico toward a country whose president has repeatedly said they are not welcome to. mexico and a new series a life displaced from take a closer look at the plight of refugees worldwide starting in jordan as a tare refugee camp is home to eighty thousand refugees from the war in neighboring syria as bernard smith reports more than half of them are younger than seventeen years old. is adjusting to the light he's just a few minutes old the very latest refugee to arrive in zaatari camp around eighty

babies are born here every week highs exhausted mother fatma is twenty years old this is her third child mostly they say that since it's not their wishes to get figure on this. they say this is normal for our community we are supposed to have this number of babies like ten babies or mall my husband wants more of this is the usual culture here that's there just to give birth to this large number of babies it's the norm for them. this was atari seven years ago rows of hastily erected tens on a patch of desert in jordan near the syrian border today it's home to almost eighty thousand refugees forty percent of them under eleven years old. they've known no other life almost everyone here knows someone a relative killed in syria's civil war and doctors tell me how it's explained the

securely i birthrate because some of the women say that the help making up the people lost in the bombing and fight. conflict has left people here uncertain of the future and that say the doctors means many more women being married off in their teens as families look for stability health workers put in a lot of effort trying to promote birth control. this is rima twenty two year old. third child and that'll do for now she says. i dream of a better quality of life for me and my tenth didn't i don't want any more now but maybe i will after three to five years and i dream to have them in syria but my use of says three children is enough with murder and i want my children to learn to be educated to have a quality of life much better at the mine and i want to take them back to syria but

syria will take years to rebuild so abdullah high could well grow up here he will be safe unfaired and will get an education but like almost everyone else his life here will be lived in limbo unable to leave and unable to make a life elsewhere bernard smith al-jazeera zaatari on the jordan syria border. the afghan government says it's doing all it can to prevent civilian casualties after a critical un report says afghan army and u.s. forces killed more civilians in the first three months of this share then taliban and i saw fighters chela bella's has more from kabul. the un has been keeping the civilian casualty numbers for ten years and this is the first time pro-government forces jarvey of which yes i think u.s. military have killed more people in three months than the taliban and i so combined we also. saw for this report came out we got a response twelve hours later in the statement they say that they take ownership

and responsibility for their engagement and how accountable for their actions in the statement they also reference in march when they realized that civilian casualties were getting out of hand president danny summoned his ministers and said i want on says the national security adviser he also says that haiti has called for investigations into only civilian casualties and that he is expecting a declassified report from the findings of those investigations to come out soon that he will release publicly after the u.n. report came out he also appointed a deputy to the national security council to specifically over look the civilian casualties the defense minister has spoken on this talked about civilian casualties is his response. unfortunately during the war we cannot say there were no civilian casualties the media has said that we are denying there are civilian

casualties unfortunately they have been happening for a long time we can promise for our people that we will try our best even i can say there were times our planes have gone to a target two or three times and didn't start an operation because they didn't want to kill one or two civilians even during ground operations our forces have been fired because of one civilian and we are proud of this. the taliban has also reacted to this un report they issued a statement saying that they have tried to bring the number of civilian casualties down to zero and they say they have been largely successful now that is true to a certain extent civilian casualties in this report are down by twenty three percent which is the lowest for the beginning of the year since we are seeing and that is largely due to a drastic drop in suicide bombings by the taliban and to a certain extent i saw how with in the report the taliban is accountable for thirty nine for suit a civilian casualties now that has hundreds of afghans in the un is accusing them

of deliberately targeting civilians because they target government employees and of course govern employees civilians. opinion polls in spain suggest a right wing coalition may emerge the victor in sunday's general election and includes the far right box party which has based much of its campaign on the growing discontent around the economy immigration and nationalism shot a whole report from sybil. bursting on to the political scene and its leader santiago must go. to a surgeon far right populism europe. often seen as mainstream media shy the party prefers to communicate with its supporters in person and online the major themes immigration and nationalism. who is santiago of our skull asks this whatsapp campaign video his grandmother explains that as
