we can now say that the young city is completely has completely fallen into the hands of the government forces now have those forces as the government and military sources here tell us they have was thrown or retreated to the nearby town of us harbor and also to the town of god who not only has one of the major supporting towns for the the world i have to in the west of libya the fall of a very young city into the hands of the government forces is very strategic because . it was one of 2 major supporting cities for have to alongside the city of. and now the government forces say that they have been arranging for this fight for this battle to recapture the area and for the last 3 months i witnesses and locals here tell us that heavy fighting took place here around this area and if you can see here martine here there is armored vehicle it's completely destroyed

by the fighting and eyewitnesses here say that have to work planes targeted similar locations. positioned by the government forces in and around. the city now the government forces here in the area say that they are trying to put a plan to secure their town and and the towns there around the area and the sheep exist decisions out of the u.s. supreme court that could have an impact on the 2020 election judges have put on hold the trumpet ministrations plan to add a citizenship question to next year's census and the course is also thrown out a decision on the possibility of redrawing voting districts to justice said it's not up to the supreme court to decide particle hayne has more now from washington. this decision is a huge setback for the trumpet ministration now this all has to do with the us

census under the constitution the federal government has to basically counted people every 10 years and those numbers have a huge impact they determine how many members of congress each state gets and more importantly how much federal money the states get so the covers department under wilbur ross said that they wanted to add this question are you a us citizen because they were afraid of voter fraud they said they need to do in force the voting rights act well the supreme court said no you made that up basically you fished around to try and find an explanation and the government's own data said that this would probably under count about 6000000 mostly hispanic people robbing the those districts of money and representation so the supreme court said the commerce secretary can add the question he just has to have a legitimate reason to do it and this isn't it so practically speaking this probably means it will not be on the 2020 census because the government says they have to start printing the forms they need to do that by the end of this month so it seems like that they want to add that question there out of time. still to come

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 the 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 syria and workers not everyone supports the initiative but those behind it argue syria is safe for return. we are doing is not racism our priority is that he believes many refugees are working here

or to middle of bieber was a high minot says 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's 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 is involved in. business tonight he took his saw was like 56 they. had caught the same nonsense 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 we were living in exile all around the world everything li harassed intimidated and even beaten by government supporters so as reporters who rights group amnesty international says it's documented cases of harassment and intimidation 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 gamed of exporting their repression from from its territory to another country and it doesn't look good. and it doesn't look good to the recovery of

a 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 since 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 in honduras troops have been sent to confront protesting teachers and doctors who say public schools and hospitals a collapsing president are one orlando and as announced the nationwide deployment of them in the tree last week as 2 months of protests gathered pace and as man

ripples from some federal sula demonstrations in the city and demanding an immediate improvement in public services. this illam entry school was once considered among the best in the city of some pivotal sula today the classrooms are literally falling apart teachers are on strike and say the 100 government has abandoned its commitment to public education where as you can see the wood is rotten it's been eaten by semites that's why the roof caved in some 90 percent of public schools in the country are facing a similar infrastructure crisis. last april the hunter and government announced plans for funding cuts to public schools and hospitals. since then educators and medical professionals have been organizing nationwide demonstrations and the unrest has been growing. the 100 president has called for peace but has also deployed military police which are now present at all major

public demonstrations protests like these are taking place almost every day across much of honduras where we are right now in some protesters are burning tires to block access to motor vehicles well most of these protests never made quite peaceful there have been clashes and there have been made reports and instances of authorities using excessive force against peaceful demonstrators. many in the medical community say hundreds as public health sector like public education is on the brink of collapse set up in their way to sync up. only 5 percent of the national budget goes toward public health the rest is most corruption so this is the crisis in the country no money for medicine or medical supplies no money to hire staff. and that made it funny money when we visited a public hospital in the city outside the emergency room we met 71 year old jose santos who was referred here for prostate surgery but says he was turned away by

doctors. they told me there aren't enough beds they even said if i was dying they couldn't operate on me because there's no more hospital beds once the sun set the scene appeared even more dire visitors were left sleeping outside on the floor some next to bags of medical waste. we're told there simply aren't enough resources to treat everyone even the patients here say if public services don't improve the unrest in the country will only worsen. some for the. right time to take a look at the top stories 2 attackers have blown themselves up in the chinese in capital killing one police officer and injuring several other people one bomber targeted a police vehicle near the french embassy in central china this in the other hit the counter-terrorism headquarters u.s. president donald trump is in japan for

towns right there is the very latest headlines from us hear it out as they are coming up next it's earthrise. 3 quarters of all the land on earth are now significantly affected by human activity the few remaining pockets of wilderness left are themselves at risk of becoming ecological this that i've been called to industry urbanization climate

change and hunting all these days he made it go systems and destroy biodiversity. 60 percent of the world sunny miles book relation have been wiped out since the 1970 s. scientists claim that the planet is witnessing a mass extinction. in response a worldwide movement is now underway to rewire the countryside to restore land to native one in the city at the tip of south america succeeding all expectations. i have come to but i wanted to make chris thumbkin a philanthropist was dedicated the best 2 that gets to the protection of this area the conservation projects he started with the husband doug has become a true inspiration to those who believe the wilderness can heal itself if given half a chance. but

i go nya piece of vast region of my. wantons and forest spanning seldom chile and argentina. though famous for its a stunning landscapes for center a seat has been an important region for livestock farming and many of its grasslands have been graced there. at the region's hard life patagonia national park. and here to find out how this became one of the biggest conservation projects in history. and you know well i think yeah i mean i'm chris how can one of your little deal. former c.e.o. of elder company but they go into priest marry doug tomkins and interplay newer and i've been through who had founded rival brand the north face. both brands made them by your mentor protections central to their company ethos but grease and dog wanted

to do more from the early ninety's but over $300000000.00 u.s. dollars of lamb for preservation across chile and argentina they build parks complete with largest campgrounds and trails to support a good tourists and after dogs sudden death in 10 to 15 carried the mantle as president of their foundation thompkins conservation what was it you saw here that may you take of this if in those things you know the next 20 years. i didn't see it frankly that that's the land side. he saw a landscape that was beat up and. fence line to take down and that convinced me this was the conservation chance of a lifetime. in 2004 in the valley christian dog bought this sheep ranch of almost 200000 acres of overgrazed grassland. they said about returning it

to me to along with the harmful of smaller farms using a process called rewilding rewilding is the restoration of an entire ecosystem to its natural state by removing foreign species reintroducing and protecting native ones it begins with the removal of livestock that will debilitation to flourish this encourages insects and overly learning males attracting birds and other small predators removing fences allows the return of therapy forces which are preyed on by apex predators those at the top of the food chain which then also multiply. species in critically low numbers totally absent or rehabilitated ultimately free and predator populations regulate one another and the ecosystem evolves into a by a long term self-sustaining wilderness. when we bought this property there were probably 500 miles of fence line. that needed

to come down and when you take the fences down you see wildlife coming back and because for 80 years it's been excluded from the best grasses prices are to keep wildlife. out of the best grasses and keep your lifestyle and the best. so it's very exciting to see the grasslands and the forests begin to restore our selves and that's the joy of taking fences down. one on the most benefiting from this grass is that when i call those relatives of the llama and the keystone species that is one that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the ecosystem it's not often you see one by itself they're pretty emblematic of the paragon ian step if they're plentiful and they're calm like this heinous then you know that the system is coming back and

that they feel no threads course and that's where. i want to see what rewilding looks like up close and. kristen so still the parts they rector of conservation has agreed to show me. a spin a guiding hand on the rewinding process is the part beginning so no one knows the flora and fauna you're better than him. on route and we bump into a few of the locals. meow but . in some way. part of the course of this park. the pygmy old priests and small birds rodents and in 6 to thrive in healthy grassland. takes me 2 years of the park where it borders on a working ranch difference in the grass on either side he says striking. here is

a good example of what happened in one place where you remove the livestock and one place where landowners decide to put more livestock than their land is able to support in terms of food. so the consequence is that you last division and you see the composition of the plants is different so if you have livestock permanently eating the grass they don't have the chance to release these seeds and their recoveries very slow there are some consequence like erosion that is very hard to address and it will take over a sin to lead to be really recorder. on the eastern edge of the park at least in the team have established a breeding center for an endangered realty will be ostrich called the darwin's riya . are officially incubated and brought here to

a climatized before being released. they are strongly associated with. but are going in a state with a grassland so i grassland without the rears it's not complete and the main propose of dissent is that the captive population is providing in the engine it takes for a while population the main issue here is that the wild book relation was so. less than 20 birds. the white population of rio was dismayed by hunting and the destruction of their hobby but it's now slowly growing and successfully dispersing here from a very year that have been relieved when you see that there is a line of fans right now we are removing it and that the improved. barriers that have been released to be me with a wild grier we are now in the 3rd generation and we are planning to keep this

program running in the next 35 years when we're made that we can read a population of about $100.00 birthing there while. those tiny the growing real population will in turn help sustain their only natural. and the species i'm most excited to see the king of but i go. i've come to meet. a former herd there and hunter. and all their seen the area used to keel over tend. to protect their communities flocks. orleans the. kids we've got a lot. i mean. i.

have seen you know words are so wide like warden and he's the parks risk trucking expert if anyone can find the team. but out of. the middle. and only have money we're not going to where you're from. i mean mom and i said. well you know what i'm more real to her don't have any. moment. to see the these men of the land. but he can distinguish.

anywhere. who most prefer to hunt on our chances of seeing one are very slim so we're doing the next best thing sitting a camera. on the t.v. used to monitor their activity. when i wanted one of the last of the men to look and it was clear that. they come over here. only for the you could do. with various terms. should grow into most curious that another cut has been here we're going to leave this camera turret for a few days and see whether we get lucky. it may be hard to actually see but for crease their return. and predators have been systematically persecuted for decades and decades so their numbers get precariously

love every ecosystem has what's called their apex species here in patagonia its promise and if you take out the very top predator everything cascades down from that. comes out of order even though it's early here and the part in terms of rebalancing we can see some big changes where there are water systems and grasslands are definitely coming back the number of fullness in the park and the numbers and whatnot because in the park fox is but the success comes when all of those species are truly back in a system that's functioning without human intervention. helping to clean air and water large expanses of forest and that's really sequester carbon a crucial way to meet.
