any year because trump has been so hard lined toward china b.'s to be the trade wars and while many people who support him cheer that on there are a lot of u.s. businesses who would like to have a deal come out of this or at least some type of the truth which is what happened last time but i think what the global economy the big picture you can't have this back and forth continue it's an interesting development with the thing and the possibility of is sort of back dooring some type of deal with north korea however i think trump would like to get the deal on his own terms with kim jong on a supposed to giving him being too much credit so i think all eyes are on china in the us at this summit the u.s. supreme court has put on hold the trump administration's plan of adding a citizenship question to next census

a group of ses and immigration activists in the government to stop the question from being included and they say the question could put fame in the minds of immigrants that their information could be shared with law enforcement agencies let's go live now to patty kohei that correspondent is in washington d.c. so donald trump is go to a very favorable looking supreme court but they've gone against him. they have unanimously and this is really the decision that everybody's been waiting for all through the term because it is going to have such a huge impact in the future so basically the bottom line is this the constitution says the government has to count how many people where they are every 10 years so that's coming up in 2020 this really matters because it determines how many members of congress you're going to have representing you in your state and more importantly it to term and how much federal money you get and that is has a huge impact so we saw all the trump administration wilbur ross the commerce secretary come out and say we need to add this citizenship question even though it

has been there for decades because of fear that there's voter fraud he said we need to enforce the voting rights act well the supreme court said no you made that up basically they looked at the record and they said that he basically fished around and tried to find that rationale that he was going to put this question on there and the reason why there's government data that shows that as many as 6000000 mostly hispanic people wouldn't descend in that census so their communities wouldn't get that federal money they wouldn't get that representation in congress so now the supreme court has said you can change you can and the question but you have to have a legitimate reason to do it so they've sent it back down to the courts what this means is it seems likely that the 2020 census is going to be mailed out without that citizen quest citizenship question on it because according to the government they're out of time they need to start printing these forms by the end of this month so they left open the possibility it could eventually end up on the census but practicality practically speaking it probably won't be this time how do you

live in washington thank you. we've got a lot more to come on this out as their news hour including protests grow louder by the day in honduras over the sorry state of its health and education systems. and find out why resentment is growing in lebanon against the millions of syrian refugees it made the country hurt. and the defending champions warming up rather nicely for wimbledon peter will have the action. that amnesty international has accused the government of eritrea of intimidating and heresy in critics who live in exile and they include eritrea that to us who live in the u.k. in sweden and in kenya has more now from the kenyan capital nairobi. or tamil bieber waldheim

a not so she's never enjoyed the freedom she fought for she was 17 when she joined eritrea's rebellion and fought for independence from ethiopia she seen here in one of the rebels' mountain hideout in the 1980 s. independence came in 1901 but she says freedom did not if they want to kill you they can kill you automatically. she owned a factory but she didn't join the governing party or contribute to its funding she says she's been harassed ever since including here in kenya's capital nairobi where she lives in exile she says eritrea is ambassador to kenya of terrorism and had her arrested by local police. isn't it tonight he took he saw was like $56.00 they. had caught the same things he tried to deport us. rights activists say that the kind of harassment that

a bieber says she's experienced here in nairobi is just the tip of the iceberg and that eritrean critics of eritrea's government you are living in exile all around the world everything only harassed intimidated and even beaten by government supporters so as a reporter's rights group amnesty international says it's documented cases of harassment and intimidation of eritrean human rights activists over the last 8 years has published a report and its research is say those in kenya the u.k. sweden and some other european countries a most risk yet their government he's gained of exporting their repression from from its territory to another country and it doesn't look good. and it doesn't look good to any kind of country where it is repression is happening the report document seemingly coordinated threatening tweets from staff at eritrea's

embassies. its ambassador in kenya didn't agree to give us an interview. bieber says the harassment has made her more critical most of our activist colleagues here in nairobi were too scared to speak to us. she's campaigned for 4 of her friends from her days as a rebel who were students arrested in eritrea she doesn't know if they're still imprisoned or dead. the same fate she says awaits her if she ever goes home malcolm webb al-jazeera nairobi kenya. right we can speak to daniel meccan and he's director of the eritrean law society a professional association of eritrean lawyers who live in exile and he's joining us live from geneva presumably daniel the story that we've just heard is a very familiar one to you because you as an eritrean are also subjected to the same kind of harris meant from those who are affiliated with the authorities in

a smart yes indeed it's. a very familiar story i myself have being. harassed and intimidated attacked. at least since 2002 since my time in south africa when i was involved in the. establishment and the leadership of the new hughes movement and ever since. that time including now when i came to geneva. before 5 or 4 to 5 years we have been experiencing these personal level it's very sad that people like my sort of human rights defenders an archivist says we cannot even do our jobs even when we are outside of the country and it's very important for the international community for peace loving people of this.

of the world to know and understand what's happening against. other eritrean human rights ministers ok i also would like to take this occasion by the way to tank the tank amnesty international right ok they have done all right but daniel there was a glimmer of hope wasn't there just about a year ago when abby came into power in ethiopia one of the 1st things he did was to make peace with its years after working in eritrea end the conflict between the 2 countries but no no pressure seemed to been put on the authorities in eritrea to change their policies even though peace was made and they were apparently welcome back into the international community. alas far as the internal political dynamics of rotarian is concerned nothing has changed. even after the new. year period since july

2018 and a very good example about this is the recent attacks that have been launched by. the ambassador in kenya and the ambassador in japan for example there were out on twitter or attacking a certain event a meeting a major in a meeting of transit that took place in london in april 2019 of course including the minister of information of 3 a mystery a man a government school all of these people were attacking attacking individuals activists who are just doing their primary job of exposing the human rights rises of their government so unfortunately in spite of the high level of them isn't we haven't seen any change right and it seems very much as a the international community more generally is almost rewarding eritrea i understand that it's currently the chair of the un human rights council it's

meeting where you are in geneva i mean that's a supreme contradiction isnt it. it's a very very perplexing contradiction in the but i think is not cheering the council but it's a member of the council but that by itself speaks volumes about the problem in the human rights council of the united nations in geneva if countries like. a very horrible record of human rights protection can become members of the human rights council of the united nations it's very problematic that's what's happening as we speak now and we are just telling we're just saying that membership in the him advice council itself should be seen as a shield as a protection of other responsibilities of the government which are now well established for example by the 2 major reports that have been published by the un

commission of inquiry in 20152016 however in spite of this well established record of the interim government we also see that becoming a member of the a member of the human rights council that's very sad indeed daniel methadone thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from geneva. here if you employees of a resident least 39 members of an arm hire a political party after a failed rebellion in the northern province on saturday dozens of people were killed in the attack and the fighting that followed thousands of mourners gathered for state funerals of 5 senior officials who were among the dead including the army chief of staff as well as the provincial governor the central government has accused him her as former security chief of organizing the rebellion leader harding has this now from the ethiopian capital at this hour. we spoke to the chairman of

landing we look back at the 1st human steps. and an ancient statue of apollo disappears in gaza a stunning archaeological mystery unfolding witnessed a 2nd round of democratic presidential candidate the. plates in the u.s. belong in detroit. on al-jazeera. across china millions of cameras are watching citizens every move in school or their behavior one i want to investigates china's surveillance crackdown on how does the.

less of a look at the top stories here in the al-jazeera news out to attackers of blowing themselves up in the tunisian capital tunis killing one police officer and injuring several others one bomber targeted a police vehicle near the french embassy in the center of town the other hit the counter-terrorism headquarters the u.s. supreme court has made 2 important decisions that could affect the 2020 presidential race within the past hour the court blocked the trumpet ministrations planned to add a citizenship question to next year's census it's also refused to be drawn in a highly partisan debate over redrawing of electoral districts saying that the court has no role to play in that. now u.s. president donald trump has arrived in our soccer japan for a 2 day g 20 summit where there's likely to be tense discussions on trade president trump is already in broad in tit for tat terrorists with china and he's due to meet

president xi on saturday. well iran is also expected to be on the agenda of the g. 20 leaders meetings a u.s. special envoy on iran brian hoke he's warning of. consequences if iran breaches nuclear restrictions that are part of the $250.00 nuclear deal he's accusing iran of nuclear blackmail and says washington is committed to its policy of maximum economic pressure on to iran because he said it's working well he's currently in europe for talks on the situation in the gulf tehran though is saying is on the verge of breaking a central component of that nuclear deal iran's foreign ministers responded on twitter to u.s. sanctions and president trump's claim that any war with iran would be short lived the harm it just adds or reset sanctions aren't an alternative to war they are war he went on to say that a short war with iran is an illusion let's cut through all of this rhetoric then

and speak to our correspondent also jabari who is in the iranian capital tehran and today was a day or so that the iranians suggested that they were about to do something concrete and break the terms of the 2050 nuclear deal and enrich more you raney and then they're actually allowed did they do it. well martin we're still waiting to find out according to officials they are supposed to reach the limits of 300 kilograms of uranium enriched uranium at a level of 3.67 percent by the end of this week so we're expecting this to happen within the next day or so now all this while the iranian president hassan rouhani has set a deadline for the european signatories of the nuclear agreement of 2015 to actually hold up their end of the deal that deadline is july 7th meanwhile the deputy

foreign minister of she is in vienna for meetings on friday on this very issue there's a series of diplomatic efforts the iranians have said this breach of this part of the agreement is only they're scaling back the commitments they're not abandoning the deal completely this is only for this 60 day period that they're going to keep anything above the 300 kilograms of enriched uranium in the country and that is because of u.s. sanctions the united states has imposed sanctions so that anybody is not a nobody is allowed to purchase the excess enrich uranium so this is the iranian saying we are doing this for this period of time to make sure that the european signatories of this deal hold up their end of the bargain because so far since the united states withdrew last year from the nuclear agreement the europeans have been too afraid to hold up their end of the deal according to what the iranian officials here say so they're trying for this last week to see what they can do to keep this deal together because according to all levels of officials here the future of this

deal is very very important to the security of this entire region right thank you very much for the correspondent in tehran well that is of course as being part of the discussions taking place with the nato allies who've been meeting in brussels ministers from this military alliance as i say had a 2 day meeting there the u.s. . acting defense secretary mark esper he told them that washington does not want to go to war with iran but it will not tolerate any further incidents the nato secretary general yen stoltenberg he said the alliance is worried about iran's latest moves. all our allies shared concerns when it comes to iran's. these stabilizing activities in the region and their support for different terrorist groups there their missile program over program of iran and also their

announcement that they will now start to enrich uranium again so i expect that we will and we will continue to consult on these issues. and need to also of exchange intelligence information on the situation in the gulf. correspondent jonah hill is there at that nato meeting in brussels and jonah we've got the special envoy for iran the american of course he's in europe doing his diplomacy and we've got the acting defense secretary there in brussels it seems as though the americans are trying to drum up a real international consensus to support their policy of maximum pressure against iran. yes very much so that was expressly marcus for his mission on his way here and he does appear to have broadly achieved success here at nato the acting defense secretary as you say only 4 days into the job keen above

all perhaps to impress upon nato allies that u.s. military strategy in general is in safe civilian and he had also set out to internationalize the iran issue his word to impress upon them that it's not just a u.s. iran problem but one that requires a global approach global diplomacy he wanted to set out for them the parameters of the u.s. approach as it stands limited in its goals now to bringing iran back to the negotiating table by squeezing it economically through sanctions and as you say building a broad coast sent consensus in support of that will generate stoltenberg the secretary general you heard him speaking there at the end of this meeting said iran is indeed an issue which matters to all allies he said nato was particularly pleased to hear the u.s. insistence that it doesn't want to go to war but instead is offering talks with no preconditions and he said nato would support efforts to deescalate to reduce tensions over the iran issue in order to avoid matters spiraling out of control but

there were words of caution from the acting secretary of defense of the end of this meeting aimed in particular i think at iran take a listen we do not seek armed conflict with iran but we are ready to defend u.s. forces and interests in the region. no one should mistake restraint for weakness. and there were also words of caution for the united states from within nato from france in particular reportedly coming from the closed door session on iran france of course already in opposition to the u.s. unilateral withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal france saying to the united states in that meeting don't involve nato militarily in any mission involving iran don't know how that live that made him meeting in brussels flanking. now to into these here where judges have rejected allegations of widespread voter fraud and

confirmed the reelection of president. his challenger. took legal action to have the result of april's election and president would disqualify but the constitutional court ruled there wasn't enough evidence it wasn't strong enough let's go live to our correspondent who's in the indonesian capital jakarta florence louis so is this c end of it is this the end of a bid to overturn the election results. of the the decision by the constitutional court is final and it cannot be appealed now on the legal experts that we've been talking to had said that the position of the constitutional court really wasn't a huge surprise this is very much what they had been expecting all along some had told us that it's extremely difficult for an applicant to have a decision when it comes to challenging presidential election results to have a decision in his or her favor and since 2004 there's never been

a decision in an applicant's favor and ultimately the judge decided that the judges the 9 judges of the constitution constitutional court decided that the evidence presented to them was simply not strong enough to support allegations of massive fraud and widespread cheating that president joker widodo had used state resources to buy votes now what's going to happen with pro bowler now well he issued a statement shortly after the verdict was read to say that he accepts the court's decision but he also said that he will be having a discussion with his legal team to see if there are any are the legal options available to them but as i mentioned because the court's decision is final and cannot be appealed it's hard to see what are the legal options available to them now propose camp some had suggested that they resort to people power that was what the people in probables camp had suggested last month but we're not seeing any indication of that and in fact. testers who are pro proper had gathered outside the

constitutional court in anticipation of the verdict but they only number that several 100 and in fact they left before the final verdict was even read so it's an indication really i think of how even if supporters don't accept jacoby as president they are willing to move forward they're willing to put this behind them and move forward and really the court's decision brings us out of finality to this electoral dispute martin thank you very much florence lou there live in jakarta let's go to the turkish city of istanbul now where the mayor has formally taken office after winning monday's election. crim him ollie's victory was a setback for the ruling party and the president bedouins dominated politics in turkey's biggest city for decades the opposition now really won the 1st election that was in march but the act party contested the results said they had been fraud and false to rerun hong kong's pro-democracy campaigners have turned their

attention to the police and justice officials they gathered outside the main offices of the justice department and were held back by lines of police hours earlier police have broken up a rally outside their headquarters in another part of the city protesters are trying to keep up the pressure on the government in order to force it to withdraw a bill that could allow for suspects to be extradited to mainland china. where hundreds of thousands of refugees of the war in syria who sought safety in lebanon are facing increasing pressure to leave now some lebanese accuse him of stealing jobs and of working illegally but syrians say they're being discriminated against and face persecution if they're false ago home zana holder has more now from northeast in the urban. mawson ramadans life as a refugee is coming to an end it has been for difficult years in lebanon is taking his family back to syria even though he's not sure what awaits them. on the

pressure is increasing that's why i want to go back they keep taking measures against us like tearing down our homes. lebanese authorities ordered the demolition of anything in refugee camps that could be a permanent home it was the latest measure against refugees criticized by human rights groups they say refugees are living with fear and intimidation and life is becoming intolerable and this international analyzed all of the returns and we found that syrians are being pushed back into syria and that's because of a combination or through a combination of restrictive government policy is mass fictions to mass arrests to something down businesses or you know preventing syrian refugees from working in certain fields and now there is a campaign by lebanon and patriotic movement headed by foreign minister. encouraging businesses to fire syrian workers not everyone supports the initiative

but those behind it argue syria is stay for return. we are doing is not racism our priority is that many refugees are working here illegally they should go back. a crackdown on illegal businesses has begun authorities are closing shops that are hiring non lebanese without work permits official say it is about protecting the economy but syrians who are facing difficulties in op taining and renewing residence visas feel they are being singled out for anti refugee sentiment in lebanon is not new some blame the refugees from the war in syria for worsening the economic crisis and competing for a job with lebanese workers but now pressure is mounting on the refugees to return the campaign. is backed by some politicians who support syria's president bashar assad syrians are concerned. they don't want to see we

don't want to live under a regime that killed us stop pushing us to go back we can't bear this the u.n. and human rights groups say syrians still face risks of persecution if they return after years of war and searching for a safe home these people are faced with hard choices. northeastern lebanon. in honduras troops have been sent to confront protesting teachers and doctors who say public schools and hospitals a collapsing president won orlando and nando's announced the nationwide deployment of the military last week as 2 months of protests gathered pace and as man well rappel a reporter in san pedro sula demonstrators in the city are demanding an immediate improvement in public services. this illam entry school was once considered among the best in the city of some pedro sula today the classrooms are literally falling apart teachers are on strike and say the 100 government has
