all guatemalan asylum seekers be deported to mexico and that honduran and salvadoran asylum seekers sent to guatemala the agreement also calls for the u.s. and mexico to work together to improve economic conditions and security in impoverished crime ridden central american countries the root causes of migration the deal is a political victory for trump who has made stopping migration the central pillar of his political brand and who had faced opposition from within his party to the proposed tariffs rob reynolds al-jazeera washington. palestinian leaders have condemned the u.s. ambassador to israel for backing partial and exhaustion of the occupied west bank prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to begin an exciting israeli settlements in the territory a move that would violate international law while in interview with the new york times david friedman said under certain circumstances i think israel has the right

to be held the palestinians said they weren't consulted in it and they believe that any conference that does not tackle the political aspect of the palestinian israeli conflict conflict is not going to be successful they want an end of the occupation and not a better life under it a palestinian photo journalist arrested by the israeli government is waiting to find out whether he'll be deported rights groups say. is being punished for his work but officials argue he's in occupied east jerusalem illegally reports. 6 years ago. appeared in the documentary describing the difficulties of living stateless and under occupation in east jerusalem doesn't for us if you have no idea the union o.b.d. . now as families in east jerusalem have been celebrating the muslim festival of ied. his wife to mom and their daughter and without him as they have been since january when he was arrested and threatened with deportation the whole

month or. his psychological situation is really bad he's refusing to communicate with anyone he's allowed to use the telephone but he's refusing to talk to his friends his family colleagues and even his mother he just calls make sure a see is ok. arrest followed a long battle over the legality of his status in occupied east jerusalem our host palestinian father brought him here from algeria when he was 12 years old but delays in applying for and processing family reunification papers meant that his case wasn't considered until he was an adult he's been living here on humanitarian visas since but in late 2015 he was informed the interior ministry was considering rejecting his latest renewal request over security concerns. the ministry cited the nature of some of the images he was posting on social media and alleged links to hamas which are horrific denies he's long been a well known figure at the locks a mosque compound volunteering as

a medic and an activist before his growing focus on photography so i'm hired full time last year by turkey's an adult agency our roofs lawyer has taken his case to the supreme court arguing the security concerns are a pretext to get rid of a journalist whose work the government doesn't like we see a straight line connection between his walk with join least to the fact that he annoyed these really authorities and to the current situation where he is under bars and we think it's illegal. to to keep him under arrest. israel's interior ministry declined our request for a statement saying only that our whole roof was arrested due to an illegal stay in israel it still intends to deport him to jordan he has no right to citizenship but his legal team says jordanian officials have indicated they would reject such a move for his wife to mom deportation is the biggest fear the prospect of his living in a country where she and their daughter have no right to live not knowing when if

ever there in force separation would end sorry for said occupied east jerusalem or i there is plenty come on this including a russian investigative journalist who's put under house arrest after being charged with drugs offenses. how coffee shop owners see any iran are finding new ways to beat u.s. sanctions to continue providing much needed caffeine to people. bought host nation england hit back with a big win at cricket world cup. first though albania's president has cancelled upcoming local elections citing the knees to reduce political tension earlier. tens of thousands of albanians amassed in the capital tehran up for another week of protests against the government's thank you prime minister at the realm of corruption and electoral fraud and

a demanding you elections be hells he has denied any wrongdoing and has offered resolution talks with his wife. joins us live now from the albanian capital so john any chance that the protesters are going to get what they want do you think. well they've already achieved one of their aims which was to get the june 30th election cancelled the prime minister's office that i'm standing in front of now is going to be the scene of the next act in the drama that has now unfolding in toronto this is the cabinet will hold a meeting of emergency meeting on sunday morning to talk about what to do next in the 1st instance prime minister eddie ramos says he doesn't think the president's position is constitutional and he insists that the election should and can be held however i think he has to gauge whether he has the support of his ministers in that and whether they if they decide to proceed will have the support of the electoral commission and the country's electoral machinery because this election does involve

all $61.00 municipalities throughout albania if they decide to go ahead and this. election on june 30th continues to be disputed by the opposition which refuses to field candidates for it it's very hard to see how its results will be regarded with any legitimacy by any except the socialist party's supporters the president's grounds for cancelling the election the current conditions do not allow for the real democratic representative and inclusive elections to take place in other words he doesn't feel that the political climate allows for a proper lecture a contest not only because the. opposition democratic party isn't fielding candidates but also and the other opposition coaches of course as well are refusing to field candidates but also because there isn't

a functioning constitutional court at the moment only one out of the required 15 judges is sitting on the court all the others have been removed from their posts they're under investigation in a sweeping judicial review that has been going on for 18 months to decide which judges are honest and which judges have problems in their records so the moment the company the country seems to be both political and constitutional deadline told in time to thank you. a russian investigative journalist has been put on the house arrest after being charged with dealing drugs even gotten off a painting course self adult has rejected claims by his lawyer that he had been beaten while in police custody called an el phase accused of possessing large quantities of methane dry and i'm cocaine but his supporters say officers planted the substances all him to stop him from reporting on corruption step fasten is in moscow following that story. the church decided that he can be held under house

arrest so there was a lot of cheers here at the courts where hundreds of people have gathered to ask and shout for his freedom of course investigative journalist in front of was detained on thursday quoting to the police he was carrying drugs on the road for drugs found it is apartment but it's widely believed not only here not only among his colleagues and his closest friends but in wider circles that these charges are fabricated that it's basically a method to silence me because we have been doing some very exclusive stories on corruption practices here in moscow and also mafia practices around to save capital so he also factors now in court at least are you sure that this deterrent is very much really work and that's also what a lot of people here think and it's not only a warning to him but also to another to a lot of other journalists of course that this is happening right now or let's

return now to our coverage of the deal between the u.s. and mexico on tyrus on immigration we can speak to manuel sweaters who is a former chief of staff at the bank of mexico thanks for being with us on the program didn't mexico given too easily able to steal the former director general of the world trade organization says that messed mexico could have asked the itself to actually all betrayed in this dispute and that mexico would probably have won. manuel suarez my you can hear me i think that. you know. absolutely it's clear that the government decided not to negotiate but to our queers to orders from mr trump and that was the end of the story there was no negotiation to speak of. but the the issue here was that

it is not a trade story it's a migration story and. the reason or for the u.s. government. can be attributed to the mistakes of the new government in mexico which are busy busy when it came into office 6 months ago decided to open its borders and to welcome all foreigners. to. traverse the contrie towards the u.s. and that meant that you know act actions political actions have consequences and the consequence of this is that suddenly we heard the news of for not only central american but. caribbean and african and even asian immigrants that wanted to go to the u.s. organizing themselves in currents aided by groups in the u.s.

as well. or in g.'s. n.g.o.s. and that sort of thing and that meant that the numbers ranch that. op in in terms of asylum seekers in the u.s. all right what was given to one extent as anything mexico is actually going to be able to deliver what it's promised in this deal to stop those migrants many of whom of course are just you know traveling through mexico to get to america to stop those migrants crossing into the u.s. i mean does it happen manpower does it have the resources to be able to do that. no barclay because the mr not the sort of order who took over 6 months ago has been these monthly in the government in order to give the money to his favorite causes which is sponsor. groups that he expects to favor him

politically in the future and vote for him so. the budget of the people the groups in charge of migration and the federal police has been disbanded has created our national guard which is a mishmash of police forces from the armed. army navy and a bit of the former federal police so in my opinion the mexican government is not competent to deal with the compromises that it has acquired which means that the threat or for tariffs will return soon the government is on able to fulfill its promises i tell you what is also interesting was just an article in the new york times which says that many of the promises that mexicans made in this deal that president trump as you know come out and said is an amazing tale i got what i wanted many of those promises had already been agreed in the past couple of months

so maybe president lapus open door has been more clever than you might suggest that he has to be agreeing to something that he's already agreed to well he gave away the shop from the beginning. i think that these last act i don't i don't have the privy to any inside information as to who knew what when. but it's clear that. whatever trump wanted to impose on mexico was going to be he did by sword or who has not correct or is himself. the savior of mexico's dignity or sovereignty although his speech is it is the opposite but it's only words no deeds. really interesting to talk to appreciate your time that's my new us what is my our joining us there from washington d.c. thanks so much. still ahead so all this al-jazeera news rebels in yemen released

hello again undermine for the top stories on al-jazeera. protest leaders have accused the military of trying to disrupt a civil disobedience campaign planned for sunday 5 members of the opposition have also been arrested. the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has authorized the reopening of the border with colombia. on tens of thousands of albanians on the streets of the capital in another week of hard tests against the government as they demolished. new elections. are let's get more now on our top story and that is the only going crisis in sudan protest groups have issued several demands to the

military council including an end to killing and torture carried out by the paramilitary group the rapid support forces now the r.s.s. is led by mohamed hand and also known as the messy he was appointed to the position by saddam's former president bashir his then close political ally and i put when bashir was ousted him as he became deputy leader of the transitional military council but his influence in saddam goes back to the early 2000 when he was the primary leader of the jan jaweed militia which rights groups accused of committing war crimes in sudan's western region of darfur the r s f is made up of former members of the jan to eat and to messi has defended its brutal crackdown or to prevent its traces on monday khartoum which left dozens of people dead or search a jerome to be honest says it's unlikely that a messy will give up the use of force. he comes from a very poor novick are up and runs from originally from chad from

a small family from china who escaped war introversion china and settled in darfur and then. they gradually. became awful awful in particular hiring their use to the government of sudan as a militia or proximity shows or farming terry forces but can ask in the beginning of the war in darfur 15 years ago there was a time when he was just one of the leaders of the so-called genuine but then made its way. past the us through tightening to become a rebel testing the government and then also being very a loyal slice of the condenser further cool it was very well considered as the most loyal to other president bashir. we actually don't know exactly how many troops are just control it is said that there are several

thousands or tens of thousands of rockets for forces. possibly $50000.00 but it was also saying that in khartoum it's not deployed about $15000.00 well what would you do you're the father. of the coup against bashir and we're supposed to protect bashir and all the nurse who came later on. including to stick fast to the current repression but. it's not clear if all those positives are absolutely loyal to him it's because there are not only from his clan the from many other clans and the motivation is very opportunistic 1st and many of them are mostly mercenaries and they may be happy with the constitution or soon as they are rewarded for their work. with

money but also the possibilities of getting power for them off people from their tribes but it may not last forever because. they have their own agendas some of them are actually the chechen rebels or former rebels and they have more agendas in chad rather than in so that it would probably be almost impossible to achieve this we don't like. that just no interest to disarm because that not much as we have nor the rights of the bargaining chips in your position that their weapons there will probably not disarm for for nothing in exchange. saudi arabia is facing international condemnation over a death sentence given to a teenager involved in anti-government protests were targeted karata spaces execution for a series of offenses some of which date back to when he was just 10 years old shallop ballasts reports. this was qatif in eastern saudi arabia in 2011

libya's oil resources and the 2 discussed a shared vision for libya's transition to a stable democratic political system that to many seemed like an endorsement including to the democratic members of the foreign affairs committee who have sent this letter to the secretary of state writing the call has led to uncertainty regarding the u.s. position and that libyan armed actors are using the confusion to continue the conflict they're urging him to clarify the country's position this is part of a broader fight for influence according to federal filings just last month after hours organization agreed to pay 2000000 dollars to a u.s. lobbying firm to help improve his image in d.c. the white house says he has not been invited to meet with the president at the white house. but they've said very little about which side of the conflict the u.s. actually supports members of congress say that needs to change. political hay and al-jazeera washington the u.s. is warning turkey there will be consequences if it moves forward with

expensive and in 2015 its partners withdrew their patric missiles from southern turkey turkey it then turned to russia to force its missile defenses now some say moscow is exploiting that the situation here or the overriding variation on the side of moscow is really to trigger a political escalation between turkey and on ited states which will have a very negative impact on the cohesion of the western alliance and they don't particularly turkey and russia say they are deal will go ahead and they will join the produce the next generation missile ass $500.00. but in retaliation the u.s. is threatening to pull an agreement with turkey to produce f. $35.00 jets something that benefits turkish companies by after $12000000000.00 with a struggling economy that's hard for unca to ignore while some fear possible u.s. sanctions on the turkish defense industry could cost billions of dollars others

believe the u.s. is triggering the tension to stop turkey from buying the s. $400.00 missile system but the common concern is that if there is a crisis with washington it could cause a recession and force the only route to. it's valid even further see now because all of al-jazeera the stuff. iran says new sanctions on its petro chemical industry show this us isn't serious about its calls for renegotiating the nuclear deal the sanctions target to ron's largest petrochemical group which provides billions of dollars to the islamic reference regard cool washington has branded the elite military unit a terrorist organization comes a week after mike pompei announced the u.s. was ready to sit down with tehran all the pressure of u.s. sanctions is having a major effects on iran's economy but export margins tight investors a tiny just small or medium sized businesses like coffee shops that can still turn
