6:06 pm
reflects full negligence when it comes to the way he was jailed and the conditions he was living under in jail. this requires an investigation into what has happened that i think is this the way it happened with haunt the government and the political system in egypt for a long time to come it will come back the way so many other issues do have an impact this is a former president he was elected the 1st to be elected in history of egypt he was thrown out there rested. and there was. a big issue of that came as a result of that particular change. he should not have been treated this way there should have been some sort of a reconciled before that there must have been a way out leaving him in jail in such a condition for 6 years with limited medical attention who is to blame isn't it the

a court session for the espionage case the source added that morsi had continued to receive medical care and that there was no neglect to his medical condition in and out of prison. but human rights groups say egyptian authorities ignored multiple warnings about morsi untimely death because of inhumane prison conditions that he was singled out for history. in the 1st 4 years of his detention you have exactly 2 family visits he was held in solitary confinement for nearly the entire time it was tension he never received the medical care that he asked for he was not allowed to have the food and medicine provided by his family that virtually all other prisoners in egypt are able to access last year a panel of british politicians and lawyers said treatment in prison was so bad that it could amount to torture. a predicts that if you didn't get the appropriate
6:09 pm
medical treatment you may very well have a premature death and of course rise out of. torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction and we found that the responsibility for that would sit all the way up the egyptian chain of. on the higher the more the latter they are and the man who sits at the top of the chain of command is egypt's current leader preston up the foot out sisi the former army chief ousted morsi in a military coup in 2013 and since then has locked up thousands of people as political prisoners this is the outcome that the egyptian government has wanted for years for morsi and also for other brotherhood leaders like mine are going to be on board they don't want necessarily to execute people because of. the execution it will create what they want. there now calls for an international investigation into morsi steffen court while his life in prison seemed entirely nord by the wind up

against deploying more troops to the middle east calling the move provocative washington is planning to send around a 1000 additional troops to the region amid rising tension with iran hours before making that announcement the pentagon released pictures that it says show a lead rainy and shoes for removing an unexploded mine from one of 2 oil tankers hit by explosions last week. reports. the u.s. military says these newly released photos taken from a navy helicopter show members of iran's revolutionary guard removing an unexploded mine from the side of a japanese oil tanker there'd been an earlier explosion on that tanker and another ship last week in the gulf of oman iran denies involvement but on monday night the pentagon announced it was sending approximately $1000.00 additional troops to the middle east by and large when you look at the overall side of u.s. military forces are small measure it's designed to send
6:14 pm
a message but it's also designed to notch this is nowhere near what you need for an invasion or a war in a statement u.s. acting secretary of defense patrick shanahan said the united states does not seek conflict with iran the action today is being taken to ensure the safety and welfare of our military personnel working throughout the region and to protect our national interests the u.s. relationship with iran has deteriorated rapidly since president trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear treaty citing iran's engagement in this whole development and supporting proxy armies sense that the us has imposed and ever tightening noosed of economic sanctions on iran washington calls it a campaign of maximum pressure but even leaders have been promoting another term maximum restraint you have seen that already in the last days we have called for the maximum restraint i think back to
6:15 pm
a particular wisdom have been the words of secretary general of the united nations but that is when he says that the world cannot afford another crisis especially in an area like that iran's decision to increase your radio production has led some in the u.s. to hughes tehran of nuclear blackmail washington flexing its military might only add to the tension and the fear of confrontation heidi jocasta. al jazeera washington. in a televised speech iran's president hassan rouhani insisted his country had nothing to do with what happened to the tankers and he accused the us of trying to stir up conflicts. american efforts in the region to cut our relations with the world and isolate iran have all been unsuccessful if certain companies in some countries don't want to cooperate with us because of us pressure we condemn america for this we don't want war with any nation those facing us are a group of politicians with little experience systemic and structural failures said
6:16 pm
c.s.s. meant of the un's own report looking into its failure to stop the crackdown against the ranger in myanmar the 36 page report says many agencies under the un did not work together to reach a unified strategy because officials could not agree on whether to take a robust public approach or pursue quiet diplomacy with me on march the government the report also blames the 15 member un security council for not doing more to stop the attacks more than 700000 muslim rohingya were forced to flee to bangladesh after myanmar's military began its crackdown nearly 2 years ago phil robertson is deputy director of the asia division at human rights watch he says the report doesn't go far enough in terms of who should take responsibility for the failures. well if it goes a certain way but really the problem is that they're not naming any names they're not saying who on the u.n. country team or who in new york was responsible for this the problem we have here
6:17 pm
is that this is a report about accountability where no one is held accountable alternately you know everybody blames the system everybody says that there needs to be better coordination there need to be better communication this is almost a parody of discussions about u.n. reform where you know the system is always to blame but no one is in charge of the system well i think that actually it should have been the un resident coordinator the person who is in charge of the u.n. country team in myanmar who presided over this mess and continually downplayed the severity of the crisis i mean she was basically silencing colleagues who wanted to talk up the issues of human rights and an increased warnings about the situation rakhine state instead she's been promoted she's now the u.n. court in india so i mean i think once again we see that talk about accountability in the u.n. but really this is a check the box exercise trying to. basically protected myanmar from the kind of
6:18 pm
sanctions it should have faced from the u.n. security council you know there should have been a referral of what happened in rakhine state to the international criminal court but you know trying as blocking that to so i mean trying to is defending crimes against humanity and genocide by the burmese military and unfortunate because they're a permanent member of the u.n. security council they get away with it hong kong's leader kerry lamb has offered what she calls her most sincere apology for the way our next edition bill has been handled she's under increasing pressure from protesters aluminized large demonstrations demanding have resignation brought but privately for some. with anger still festering in spite of a statement apologizing for handling of this controversy hong kong's leader kerry tried saying sorry in person i personally have to shoulder much of the responsibility. this has led to controversies this pillows and societies in
6:19 pm
society. for this i offer my most sincere apology so all people of hong kong the controversial extradition bill has provoked some of the worst scenes of violence involving police and demonstrators in decades and some of the biggest protest marches ever critics say would allow china to extradite political opponents to face summary trial in mainland courts protesters have been demanding the bill be withdrawn and for lamb to quit she did neither but said that suspending work on the bill would effectively kill it at least for now i have announced that we will suck spend the legislative exercise and immediately that afternoon we put a stop to the legislative exercise by informing the legislative council that the bill will no longer proceed to
6:20 pm
a 2nd reading debate but what caroline is offering still falls short of a complete withdrawal of this bill that it seems could be too much of a loss of face for her and by association for beijing but that's exactly what her opponents are still demanding an alliance of pro-democracy and student groups are promising to continue their campaign of opposition carry lamb is actually presenting to the rest of the word that ministration it's going to be a lame duck and ministration because she would have a very hot line in governing hong kong from now on after last sunday's unprecedented march by an estimated 2000000 people opposition groups do not want to lose the momentum but possibly using the expanded ranks of activists in more targeted acts of civil disobedience where more people show that determination i

reactions to the death of former egyptian president mohamed morsi thousands of people throughout the middle east are remembering morsi with funeral prayers turkey's president. attended prayers at any stumble mosque earlier when a voice concerned about how morsi died let's find out more and speak to our correspondent in istanbul. seen him talk us through what president i don't want said. well fully he has been very vocal about mercy is that since last night after as soon as he heard that morsi lost his life and his further his sentences began with the words leaving did the else aside then today he repeated that he has doubts about the way moore said lost his life at the a. during the trial at a cool chord so he said you also mentioned that. the current president up of fatah sisi is was afraid of morsi even his that that's why he wasn't buried in
6:33 pm
a presidential ceremony here and nobody was left in when he was buried in nearly hours of the morning. he mentioned that he was a. moment most it was a mark to and he was if the all need democratically elected president of egypt and he also criticized the western communities for turning a blind eye to what has happened in egypt since the military coup took place in 2013 following that the trial procedures that mohamed morsi and his friends and other opposition figures were subjected to by the egyptian government and he also could he criticize the egyptian judicial authorities for exacting those young opposition figures in the jails and funeral prayers have been held in turkey tell us more cinema about people's reaction say. well last night turkey's stopped for
6:34 pm
religious by the religion affairs director it made a call made the nationwide call that. absentee funerals should be held across circuit doing dement that midday prayers and of course turkey we have you saw that many people gathered in the more softer the prayers not only in istanbul also in uncle as well though the absent a funeral in ankara was informed of the egyptian embassy actually and people also demonstrated the protests that they gyptian government's treatment on mohamed morsi as well also we heard. the main opposition leader a c.-h. believe the chemical sheryl the speaking at the group meeting today he also criticized the coup trials the coup courts. in egypt he he said that they were rigged it even though mohamed morsi and his party had different political views and different political agendas he said that this was
6:35 pm
totally on to democracy and again he also repeated that prison at mercy should have been buried with a presidential ceremony and to be there were to actually absent of prayers that his son will do always in the late afternoon which presents are gone attended as well and they all n.g.o.s were there it protests against this thank you for that seen him live for us in istanbul. moving on in president donald trump as promised to begin removing millions of undocumented immigrants who entered the u.s. illegally the announcement was time to coincide with the launch of his reelection campaign later on to say critics say the deportations are not new and will effects of those already facing removal more than a 1000000 people of been issued final deportation orders by federal judges remain in the u.s. or let's explore this a bit further now with hardin lang who is vice president for programs and policy address fiji's international's he's live from washington thank you very much for
6:36 pm
being with us our knowledge is here so the president says that millions will be deported starting from next week 1st of all is this possible do u.s. immigration officials have the resources to carry out such a big operation. of course not u.s. immigration officials do not have the capacity to round up this many people and then put them on planes even if it would be a humane or legal thing to do but the end of the day with the president is proposing is in strict contravention of the united states has obligations under international conventions with the refugees and others and in television in my view of u.s. law so long the short of it is a policy that can't be implemented in a and b. shouldn't be implemented but more than a 1000000 people have been issued final deportation orders who exactly is affected and is it likely that mixed status families with american children for instance could be affected because of course i mean there are
6:37 pm
a number of given the number of people who have received these orders it's going to quite complicated. to execute and be to even look at the possibility that you're going to do so in a way that's going to be humane many of these people are probably have children who are born in the united states some who may be you know citizens and the people you're talking about something back would disrupt social fabric would render families apart in general the policy would be very very difficult and inhumane to implement the top administration is of course hoping that this will deter those who are considering making the journey to the u.s. that it's not worth the effort but do you think you know from my experience that this will serve as a deterrent i know you were in guatemala what is driving people there to flee and are they at all being detected by these harsh u.s. policies. yeah i mean there's very little to suggest that the flows from central america or elsewhere in latin america or anywhere being deterred by these types of
6:38 pm
policies or the announcement of these types of policies people who are fleeing violence in central america are fleeing you know gang violence there so they're fleeting there's a feeling general based violence they really they're in such circumstances where they're willing to undertake an incredibly arduous and dangerous journey through mexico into the united states often forcing them into the hands of small groups and such and so the idea that simply u.s. policy on deportations is going to somehow stem those flows there's very little evidence to suggest that that's going to have that kind of impact thank you very much for talking to us harding lang from refugees international joining us there from washington thank you for your time. and as we mentioned present donald trump is expected to officially launch his re-election campaign in the coming hours he's due to hold a rally in florida as say that was crucial to his victory in 2016 and will again be next year if he hopes to retain the white house there is company how could explains
6:39 pm
why from orlando. made up voter 2020 u.s. presidential candidates will want to win over radio journalist william diaz is latino undecided and most importantly lives in florida the crown jewel in american politics republicans they are doing an excellent job in florida and they beasts there. and you know what a moderate democrat he says republicans are simply more engaged he is came to the united states 30 years ago from venice wella despite president trump's hardline immigration policies he is considering voting for trump but he'll need to do more to support those suffering in venezuela more from better adoring. when truck visits orlando on tuesday to officially kick off his campaign it's voters like d.s.
6:40 pm
hill need to convince trump's record over the past 2 years will be front and center i will build a great great wall trump's biggest $26.00 promise to build a wall along the southern border to stop illegal immigration has proven to be a challenge he was unable to secure funding from congress so he declared an emergency to start construction that's being challenged in the courts a recurring theme throughout his 1st 2 and a half years as his opposition uses legal means to oppose some of his biggest policies those challenges included his travel ban on people from 5 muslim majority countries and although it faced widespread opposition initially trump managed to successfully implement it it also helps that he appointed 2 justices to the country's highest court as a candidate trump promised voters america 1st policies he made good on that pledge and angered u.s. allies and now saying he would withdraw the united states from the paris climate
6:41 pm
accord and pull out of the 2015 agreement to limit iran's nuclear program still the u.s. economy remains steady even as trump has picked fights with china mexico and europe accusing them of unfair trading practices expect to boast about a strong u.s. economy at historically low unemployment even among voters of color despite persistent criticism trauma's policies hurt minority voters. we know that florida is a state that's becoming increasingly brown and i think that's a that's a state where he's going to have to address that issue another problem for donald trump trying to convince voters to look past at least 15 investigations in 3 states looking into trump's business charity and campaign and even with the moller report behind him democrats in congress are still investigating generating problematic headlines for a president trying to win reelection can really help get al jazeera orlando and
6:42 pm
live now to mike hanna in washington mike immigration was of course a central theme of trump's 2016 campaign how do his current plans play into his reelection bid. well very much the same as you mentioned the whole question of immigration was a central tenet of his previous campaign and very clearly he's going to make it a central part of his campaign for 2020 now as we heard earlier from the guests. made by president trump may well be an empty threat. to wrist all illegal immigrants would require the resources of hundreds perhaps thousands of offices along with weeks of intelligence work before such a roundup could begin that being said one must remember that back in april the then homeland secretary christian nielsen and the acting director of ice were basically
6:43 pm
fired by president trump because he did not think that they were hard enough in terms of immigration and in terms of specifically carrying out mass rist such as he is contemplating it would appear from his tweet but certainly this issue very much central to the campaign and this is perhaps the major reason why he is making such a threat what many would regard as an empty threat at this particular time given that he's going to formally launch his reelection campaign on this very day thank you mike mike hanna my force in washington d.c. . facebook is a step closer to launching a payment system next year powered by a new digital currency it's partnered with $30.00 companies to manage a currency called libra it will be run by age an eva base association that includes visa master card and pay pal facebook will also launch a digital wallet which will let users buy products to wreck leave from platforms like instagram so the new system comes into $2.00 parts money and wallet libra will
