they've just been dropped back across after waiting for asylum and they say why don't really know what to do here it's very dangerous here in part of the border they do know that and it's true there's been more than a 1000 murders in tijuana so far just this year and other sites that they're planning to drop people back in see about what is that's well known sort of a cartel battleground in the past especially i mean tim thomas leap has a state that's become basically a black hole where gangs really control that state so now for those families instead of possibly being let free in the united states they've got a very different panorama they could even if they make it over there being dropped back into mexico in the midst of a country that's really insuring record violence right now so there's a lot of different programs here john heilemann thank you very much indeed well reasoned from a migration policy institute joins me live from our washington d.c. studio thanks for being with us this image is a huge outcry from around the world really did you think it's going to be the

moment the defining moment that changes the way the u.s. deals with this with migration i think it depends this image has a group garden a lot of attention in the world across the world but it really happens to see we have to wait and see what will happen across specifically 3 countries of mental and america central america we need to figure out how this is going to be received we have to see what the response from each of the countries going to be and see specifically what will mean in the short term what will they do i know that some of the rhino specifically stick in some responsibility in trying to x. to have some actions but i think a story to tell with it is going to be just a matter of days or in a month will we will still be contained to here but this picture does a bit about doesn't it on where this family came from what's happening right now the man that is encouraging people to take these kind of risk. it's a series of factors and they'll help with make the decision for the family what we know about some of those specifically is that the homicide rate was going down is still relatively high the powerade about a 3rd of the people in el salvador continue to live in their poverty and there in

addition to that they have been facing some significant. climate change factors that are making the production of different cultural products more difficult in addition to that you're seeing continued levels of gang gang violence that is pushing them to continue to happens here so it's not really surprising verse to see that this images are occurring when the result is beginning to what happens in central america and also the dangers of the endure in mexico as well one of the problems i suppose is that both sides in political in the united states at least blaming the other for for this and for the situation so that one. because one of the democratic candidates is taken to twitter and said right to trump is responsible for these deaths and trumpeted back saying and blaming democrats in congress saying if we had the right laws. democrats are not letting us have those people wouldn't be coming they wouldn't be trying in that context how do you how do you come up with a policy that sensible right i think there's

a median and there has to be meaning in this policy response the 1st thing that we've recommended in the past is to try to reform the u.s. system for it to be more fair and more efficient i mean the people who come to the u.s. then are quickly able to know if they're actually going to receive asylum or not and then therefore either come into the country or be returned to specifically important in the conflicts that we have with mean or metering happening at the border mean that there are some people who are waiting months after they begin to to begin to be able to see there are some in the ports of entry and doesn't make inspiration increase and driving people to biggest oppositions so use an issue where the metering can you explain for an international audience what that is in the context of asylum service. sure so metering is with the process that. provides sort of the ports of entry where migrants are or asylum seekers are able to come in and seek asylum what happens is that in the daily time or in the day that it varies by port of entry but it only puts

a cap on the number of people that they are allowed to come into these offices or we know is that about 4500 people are actually being allowed to seek asylum to enter to seek asylum per month in the past few months so that is something as important the more the people have to wait in the mexican side the more desperate they become and try to find other ways to enter. from the migration policy institute thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. thank you. now back in the united states the 20 democratic presidential candidates vying to take donald trump's job in the 20 twentieth's action are about to lay out their policies in the 1st of several live t.v. debates and again today has been meeting democratic supporters in the key state of florida to find out where they think the party should be heading. it was a night the democratic party and its presidential candidate will never forget despite polls and predictions donald trump became the 44th president of the united states leaving the democrats to lick their wounds no you don't donald trump burst

lineup of democratic candidates now have their sights set on the 2020 election the challenge will be energizing that base and making gains with white non-college educated voters the organizers say it's about getting boots on the ground an incredibly diverse group you know about 50 percent of them speak spanish about 20 percent of them speak creole and they'll be down in our in our base communities communicating with both voters and registering new voters data from the vote a study group shows that 6000000 voters who backed barack obama in 2012 helped win in 2016 but the next presidential election may be about more than getting those people back president bill clinton once famously said that every u.s. election is about the economy and that maybe the democratic party's biggest challenge if job figures in financial markets is still doing well political analysts say the democrats will focus on the president's behavior making this an election about morals not numbers if the democrats can mount

a really good attack on all the stupid things the trump is done professor joseph says the democrats may focus on the president's temperament not policy it may very well be an election about trump's behavior his morality his rhetoric which is not just decisive but sometimes you know phobic and racist so if they focus on those things they'll be playing to their strengths. luis a son tosses a small businesses. honorine democratic party activist the primary concern is immigration policy but she also wants candidates to speak from the heart don't get down like to say what you believe because a lot of times are getting muted because of we're scared of what the reaction might be and i think what worked so offer trump is he was not muted he said what he believed in and he stood behind the democratic party will select its presidential candidate next summer as things stand former vice president joe biden is leading the pack it in the end the 2020 race may be more about personalities than anything

else. well under joins us live from miami florida can we expect from these day debates and how will the candidates make themselves stand out in such a crowded field. right. i mean that's the big challenge you've got 20 candidates over tonight some of them this is the 1st time they'll be introducing themselves to the american public some very odd you know names of the challenge for those less like candidates is to make themselves stand out behind some moments when people like elizabeth warren who will take center stage tonight because she's ahead in the polls she needs to really establish itself as a viable candidate for the 2020 alexion but the challenge is great here 20 candidates all from various different backgrounds on average they'll get about 7 minutes to speak on each of these nights so very little chances to get themselves known by a democratic vote is there lots of looking for perhaps a moment that might stand out that might go viral on social media but this is a very crowded field the most interesting thing for me has been talking to

democratic voters some who say to me some of these lesser known candidates should just get out the way others worried about the ideological split in the democratic party with those on the progressive left versus those that are more moderate so this will be a challenging 2 nights for all these candidates at the non the less a very important night for the democratic party as many of these candidates like me told sodden amy publish are introduce themselves to the american public for the 1st time they'll be trying to stand out not so sure one of the key questions here is whether the of the candidates will attack the more established candidates with more name recognition all they'll play it safe for and try and just introduce that personalities to the american public because ultimately this may not be about policy or lots of democratic voters i've been talking to it's about who is best suited to take on donald trump so personalities not policies may be what happens over these next 2 days certainly a very important night for the democratic party and voters and the like i thank you very much. palestinians have rejected the u.s.

administration's $50000000000.00 economic proposal for peace in the middle east it was unveiled by a senior white house adviser jared cushion it during a 2 day conference in bahrain but palestinians say their country is not for sale i don't mean it has more senior white house adviser jared cushion or gathered arab dignitaries israeli businessman investors and politicians from the wider world to discuss how to kickstart the palestinian economy over the next decade that reaction when he called his plan the opportunity of the century. question is counting on allies like saudi arabia and the u.a.e. for support in soliciting $50000000000.00 in investment pledges even though lebanon rejected the plan and countries like egypt and jordan sent low ranking officials if we managed to do it 25 years ago with significantly less money i'm pretty sure that

it can be done today with the amounts of money with the private sector participation if we can achieve that hope of peace. for everybody to start working together to achieve what we're trying to achieve the chief of the international monetary fund christine legarde says the focus should be on the creation of jobs in areas such as agriculture tourism and construction so if there is an economy if there is original question of making sure that the momentum is sustained and for that it will require all the goodwill in the world on the part of all parties. private sector public sector international organizations and the parties on the ground and then there was the i.m.f. expects the palestinian economy to shrink by 1.6 percent this year and says unemployment stands at 30 percent in the occupied west bank and 50 percent in gaza

but the palestinian leadership has rejected the plan and was absent in manama it hasn't had any contact with the u.s. administration since president donald trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capital a senior palestinian official says the whole basis of his economic plan is built on the wrong assumptions the most basic ones is that the arabs can deliver palestine the palestinians or the the arabs can sign on behalf of the palestinians or. the arabs will even foot the bill. or that the palestinians will substitute freedom and dignity and serve the term a nation for a fistful of dollars people in gaza and the west bank have been protesting against it many wonder if there will be even a concern for the u.s. administration after its last tens of millions of dollars in aid money already in the manner my workshop was all about economics there was no mention of palestinian

rights return of refugees and of the occupation core issues that should be part of the political plan yet to be revealed but there has already said if there is going to be a deal it's not going to be along the lines of the 17 year old arab peace initiative which palestinian fear means the end of the 2 state solution without the hemi. or trying to autopsy or now forces allied to libya's u.n. recognize government to retake the town of. and then will head his life 1st in tripoli to times more about this operation and how it all came about. well the city of around 100 kilometers to the cells from the capital tripoli has finally fallen into the hands of forces loyal to the e.u. and the recognized government of national accord have to his forces have lost their city one of 2 major supporting cities for have stood in the worst of libya

italy 70 have tried to borrows from entering italian waters for quite a while now for over a year he has already seized other ships and also our ship has been seized a couple of times for a short while for 2 or 3 weeks but has always been released after the time because never there were any. an illegal grounds to hold us for longer so we have always acted in accordance with international law when we rescue people in the mediterranean and therefore there is no reason for actually seizing our ship even though suddenly now made a new decree trying to ease this procedure to seize our ship the un has warned that washington's decision to end waivers for countries exporting iranian oil will hurt the 2015 nuclear deal and the european union has also reiterated that there is no credible and peaceful tentative to the nuclear deal the u.n. and e.u. envoys were addressing the security council on the escalating tensions between the

u.s. and iran jabatan he has moved from the un. this was a briefing on the u.n. secretary general's latest assessment on how the iranian nuclear deal is going and once again iran has been found to be in full compliance with the j c p a the 15th time in iraq has been found to be in full compliance not in compliance the united states which has withdrawn its way was to allow iran to export its oil the economic development part of the plan and withdraw its way was for nonproliferation for iran to export its enrich uranium the nonproliferation part of a deal those are the 2 main planks off the j c p o a none the less is only very mild regrets expressed at the un security council for the us is actions over the russian ambassador point out that the u.s. is position was rather confusing on the one hand it's withdrawing from the deal it's pressuring and threatening member nations not to comply with the deal while pressuring iran to comply to the deal it's all

a bit confusing the russians seem to be seem to be saying the iranians for their part also suggested look we've been terribly reasonable up to this point now our patience is wearing thin they just missed an offer of unconditional negotiations from the american saying how can it possibly be unconditional if you withdrawn from the deal you are waging all that economic war with us and your threatening to obliterate us with a huge military buildup that's not unconditional and in fact there was an interesting line from the iranian ambassador where he said iran cannot shall not will not take all of the burdens anymore to preserve this deal this deal has now to be saved by the other member states 100 prominent iranian activists have cosigned a statement warning against devastating consequences on the people of iran if there is a military conflict and they said they fear that military action against iran will be disastrous for millions of ordinary people and could lead to the talk of violent sectarian civil conflict seen in neighboring countries instability of these

conflicts and the extent to which they picked groups of people against each other as led to a measurable human rights abuses. grim enough washington d.c. is that judgment ramsey from the center for human rights in iran said you're concerned about the possibility of of a military conflict but in the show before we get to that point what about the sanctions what kind of effect are they having on human rights in iran well as mentioned by the 100 signatories that signed on to this statement sanctions have severely and impacted the people of iran whatever their aims are it is the people on the streets that are paying for them the price of basic goods have gone up humanitarian aid is being impacted and the economy is severely depressed people are just struggling to get by and members of civil society people who have signed on to this letter are part of those people they are right now struggling to make ends meet which means that they have less time to focus on the civic activism that they

try to engage in in the country i suppose i mean that's one of the points is that the u.s. would argue that iran has a terrible record on human rights and. has said recently that the new sanctions will deprive the iranian leadership of the resources it uses to spread terror and oppress the iranian people so on the basis of that isn't it would be helpful to human rights if if there are measures against people who do oppress others. well the measures are impacting the people on the streets whatever they may be designed to do or the rhetorical around them it is the people of iran that are being impacted and these signatories many of them are people who are who spent decades working inside iran on civil rights and human rights issues people like mandy goal rue who has served 2 and a half years in prison in iran for in gauging in peaceful activism on a university campus they are saying that the iranian government often uses events that are happening inside and outside iran that are politically sensitive to kind

of tighten its grip on civil society and just to give you an example in january 28th when we saw mass protests there were huge crackdowns on various sectors of civil society in iran and that was under the pretext that we are being threatened from the outside and so we're going to take these people and imprison them and really what they're just doing is silencing peaceful activism and dissent so what's your interpretation of the message then that's coming from from trauma by moving to sanctions not just on their own generally but on to the supreme leader and everyone is off is that you would you interpret that as a call for a regime change. you know i couldn't speak to what the u.s. government is doing but i can speak to what's being stated in this letter by these activists that are based inside and outside the country they're basically saying that the iranian people are being repressed and squeezed from all sides by

a government that refuses to listen to their demands and by now threats of foreign invasion attack assault whatever it is and an economic warfare and it's making life very difficult for people in the streets of iran economically and for those who are fighting for civil and human rights throughout the country so i mean do you think the climate has changed actually for the worse i mean when we talk about the situation in iran in the government itself in iran but has the climate actually become worse for human rights in the last couple of years definitely it's not a good situation there are periods where it's throughout. history that the repression has been relaxed and then reinforced and we see that that repression can be. much worse when there is the threat of military invasion outside because peaceful activists are often imprisoned in iran under national security threat

under scuse me national security charges and the officials security establishment the judiciary they use the threat of war as kind of a banner to wage these crackdowns doesn't runs the thank you very much leave your thoughts thank you. now you guys outgoing prime minister to reason may has come under severe pressure from the opposition over saudi arabia may accused opposition leader jeremy corbyn of acting against the national interest as the pair clashed in parliament of a billions of dollars of arms sales to the saudis corbin called on the government to prioritize peace and help save lives they responded by saying the opposition leader has sympathized with russia irish republican and iran in the past against u.k. interests but she did condemn the murder of saudi journalist. saudi military officials say they've intercepted and destroyed hoofy drone targeting homes near its border with yemen the drone was brought down in the residential area

. which is also home to a military base it's the latest in a series of attacks on saudi airports and infrastructure by yemen's hooty rebels. hausler leo. the reason for what you describe is in these collation as that we had earlier introduced a truce and when we ceased our drones and missiles the aggressor states through their spokesman alleged to have one mess of victories eliminating our missile and drone base us meanwhile the aggressor states we are with the crimes against our people we saw the truce as pointless therefore we resumed operations and used what we have it hain't to deter the aggressors as a result this cannot be described as an escalation from our end it is the aggressor states that despite our proposals for peace nato is actually generally ends stoltenberg has condemned the new russian short range nuclear missile system currently being rolled out close to its western borders speaking at

a nato defense ministers meeting in the belgian capital brussels talking about accused the russians of going against the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty china has more from brussels. nato has issued an ultimatum to russia either come back into full compliance with the i.n.f. treaty by the 2nd of august in other words destroy the s.s.c. 8 intermediate range missile system that russia has been developing according to nato and the united states in noncompliance with that treaty or face responsibility for the total collapse of the i.n.f. treaty and the consequences where with no sign of compliance by russia nato defense ministers have here decided on a range of consequences of countermeasures jens stoltenberg the secretary general wouldn't be drawn on the details of what those might be but he did say they would be measured and strictly defensive he did address concerns of a dramatic escalation in tensions between russia and nato as

a result he said this that nato had no intention to deploy new land based nuclear missiles it would not mirror russia's actions and nato did not want a new arms race here's what he had to say. the new russian missiles they violate the on their for treaty which has been a cornerstone for aunt's control for decades and that's the reason why it is so extremely serious that russia is the ploy. sides in clear violation of this street they're putting the whole duty in jeopardy. and also the reason why we called he knew to call or russia to come back into compliance and there is still a possibility to save the treaty because the deadline which has been set is the 2nd of august as well as that a round between nato members the u.s. and turkey says already strained relations between the 2 has escalated over turkey's insistence on taking delivery of

a russian missile defense system the s 400 against objections from the united states that that would undermine nato military defense systems across europe and in particular undermine the f. $35.00 program that advanced stealth jet fighter program due to be rolled out to nato member air forces in the years to come turkey a significant component part of that program or the message delivered by acting defense secretary mark s. purchased the 3rd day into his job here to his turkish counterpart in a bilateral earlier give up the s 400 or face being ejected from the f. 35 program and face economic sanctions the response from turkey delivered in the person of the president mr erdogan on his way to japan to meet donald trump at the g. 20 there is no backing down now he said no plan b. he believes this will all be sorted out in a face to face meeting with mr trump. in hong kong democracy campaign is

protesters to turn back by having said that seen a few of them throwing stones and some of the windows haven't seen any smash and that is a small minority of those here with a certainly an uneasy and outside all this about not just having the formal withdrawal of those extradition proposals which have been put on suspension by the government they're not formally withdrawn that's a demand but they also want accountability by the police for the way they feel the police handled the protests heavy handed placing they say rubber bullets tear gas unnecessary arrests of some protestors and they want a full investigation into the police action all of this comes just before the g. 20 summit protesters want to make it clear to world leaders meeting she jingping that they want them the other world leaders to talk to him about what is happening in hong kong is not going to be the full agenda but they're hoping hong kong will
