people and tourists but witnesses say the visitors don't appear to have been the target the guy who blew himself 50 bettors away from the french embassy and the security around the area is very very high actually for the border a double leg people were doing their business having kids outside of the what was expected actually constructed for what earlier in the day gunmen attacked a t.v. station in the state of gaffes south of the capital a state of emergency has been imposed in 2 media for the past 4 years since dozens of people were killed in a series of attacks which i saw claimed responsibility for 3 gunmen stormed a museum in the capital tunis killing $22.00 people in march 20153 months later $38.00 people were killed in an attack on a beach resort hotel at seuss and last october a woman blew herself up in central tunis killing herself the wounding 9 opposite

many chinese ians he rely on tourism for their income say they're nervous about the future you go back and he said next actually not a bit really. happened. he said next time to get. busy. but. it may make a lot of people whether it be safe or not fighting in neighboring libya is another worry for the chinese government. as it deals with threats from inside and outside its borders victoria gate to be al-jazeera. and in a separate development the tunisian president of the steps he has been taken to hospital in what his office says is a severe health crisis the 92 year old was taken to a military hospital in tunis but as reported to be in a stable condition earlier this year he announced he would not contest november's presidential election. hundreds of iraqis have stormed the behind me embassy in central baghdad in anger over the u.s.

sponsored but now a conference on peace in the middle east bahrain has recalled its ambassador to iraq after demonstrators broken and took down the flag replacing it with one of their own police used live rounds to break the hour long standoff but no one was injured a $50000000000.00 economic plan was unveiled by white house adviser jared cautioned in bahrain this week mohamed jump who has more from the iraqi capital. hundreds of angry demonstrators were outside the bahamian embassy in baghdad they were there to protest the u.s. sponsored conference in bahrain it was reported also that demonstrators breached the embassy compound that they were able to get up on the roof to take down the bahraini flag and also it was reported that they burned israeli flags and u.s. flags while they were holding that demonstration and it was reported as well that iraqi security guards on the scene guarding the embassy retreated when they saw

that wall of angry protesters appear this is all happening at a time when many around 3 parties political parties and politicians have been highly critical of that a conference when many politicians here have said that this conference is something that is gone beyond saying that it's not going to help the palestinians these are awfully politicians who said this is actually going to be a hindrance to palestinians being able to establish a palestinian state going forward so not really a surprise that this would happen at a time of such heated rhetoric the big question now will there be more protests in the days to come. round to all the fight for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination has come to a close the 2nd of 2 debates in miami featured 10 candidates including the popular fun fun as joe biden bernie sanders and come of the hatteras like the festa bait

and the question was once again a focal point candidates also clashed other plans to address climate change abortion health care and civil rights let's go to our cost funded at gallica he is joining us live from miami some heated exchanges and especially featuring some of those functions. yeah these debates are all about memorable moments and there really was just one in this 2 hour long debate that was when the california prosecutor in sentence of kemal a harris attacked the former vice president joe biden on his record in history with race on talking to segregationist politicians something that was considered a gaffe over the last few days but as the only african-american candidate on the stage tonight she made this personal it was a very effective attack on the former vice president he looked almost taken aback at one point let's see the exchange that people will be talking about do you agree

today that you were wrong to oppose busing in america that do you agree i did not oppose or seen in america what i opposed is busing ordered by the department of education that's what i oppose why there is not a family or of of states to enter your own public schools in america i was part of the 2nd class to integrate the berkeley california public schools almost 2 decades after brown v board of education because your city council made that decision it was a little that was an issue that all governments that in an era where we were not right i had this was thank you why we are that's why we need to have the n.r.a. because there are moments in history where states how to preserve the civil rights of our people or to you are very from the very standing so i bruise a night then for front runner joe biden and he what's go what's her strategy going forward now. well that was expected ation joe biden

the former vice president on his 3rd attempt to become the president of the united states has a clear lead among these 20 or so candidates the expectation was this was a man that would have a target on his back but the other expectation was it was perhaps bernie sanders that might take him on that didn't really happen although senator sanders did criticize joe biden for voting for the war in iraq but i think it's that moment between camilla harris and joe biden that people will be talking about she really did need that boost in the polls she was only polling in the single digits and she came in here with very little to lose but i think she gained a lot of momentum from this debate joe biden held is own he's the most experienced politician on stage the most experienced person in the white house having been the vice president so it's really up to the voters now who having watched these 2 debates with 20 candidates will make their own decisions about who were the winners

and who were the losers remember there's almost 18 months to go before the general election happens as more debates in july there's more in september these candidates will get whittled down over these months as they fail to meet the criteria to go into the next debates but for certain people the 1st night who leon castro from texas did a good job with another emotional statement about immigration and tonight i think come on harris will be declared something of a window while bernie sanders and joe biden both held their own and thank you very much for that for now that is and again again live and miami thank you. now democratic leaders the u.s. house of representatives have backed down to president trump on their border bill demands the house has passed a 4600000000 dollars package to help address the surge and people trying to cross into the u.s. from mexico but it doesn't include additional protections for migrant children that many democrats had wanted the role which has already passed the republican

controlled senate now needs to be signed into law by the president. mexico is currently given refuge to more than 14000 asylum seekers and under a new agreement with the u.s. could be about to take 60000 more there are serious questions though about whether it can handle them john holmes has been meeting migrants on the streets of tijuana . myra and her 12 year old son waiting limits compatable the next court date in the u.s. that's 6 months away it's part of a plan learners remain in mexico those mainly from home. crossed into the u.s. to ask for asylum being sent back to mexico to wait while the process plays out. i don't know what i'm going to do i'm scared of being left in the street with my son mexico agreed to the plan reluctantly in january now under u.s. pressure it's expanding it about $60000.00 central americans could be sent here by

the end of the year luckily for them mexico's president says they'll be taken care of. will be offering humanitarian aid job opportunities health and education except. with 5000 who have already arrived none of that is happening everyone we talked to like my daughter were only given temporary papers which explicitly state they can't work here despite the fact that for many their next court appearance is months away we talked to 7 migration shelters all along the border they told us they'd seen nothing of the cover. missed work or education programs meanwhile they're bearing the brunt of the new arrivals i think it's the perfect storm coming together which everything and so it's going to hit it and it's an explosion one moment down the line. the government actually got any shelters of their own theory they want or they have no shelter all the private

organizations charitable organizations churches they have not met with us they stopped for meetings since the last 2 or 3 months so we don't know what their planets. we don't know either with the wave of people who already crushing in there is government ministries what they plan to do with them no one could tell us or even give us an interview the issues particularly pressing because these people are being dropped into some of the most dangerous areas in mexico here into one of there's been more than a 1000 murders so far this year and where we are right now we just heard shots people fleeing and then federal police turning up. it's not a big surprise that many like myra a trying to get the money together to simply get out and go home that's certainly the most convenient course of action but the mexico and the u.s. john homan how does it. the acting u.s. defense secretary has told nato colleagues that his country doesn't want

a war with iran and mark asked this 1st nation what the alliance since taking out the post he added that he wants to move from a military track to a diplomatic one just last week president chavez said he called off strikes on iran at the last minute after iran shot down a us strong. state media says nearly 250 people have been arrested over a failed rebellion in the northern state of they include at least 39 members of an ethnic political party dozens of people were killed in the attack and the fighting that followed the central government has accused formal security chief organizing of rebellion. syrian rescue group the white house has accused russia of war crimes after an airstrike hit an ambulance killing 2 of its members the group says 7 other civilians were among the victims in the north western province of idlib on wednesday it says russian planes returned to target rescue workers as they were pulling injured people from the rubble. now hundreds of thousands of refugees of

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 down businesses or preventing. in 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 safe for return. we are doing is not racism our priority is that many or a few jews 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 the syrians who are facing difficulties in our 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 a 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. wildfires are burning across nearly $4000.00 hectares of northeastern spain and there are fears that it could get much worse the country is banking on the

a rufous has been finding out. a checkpoint on the outskirts of our this 7 gateway into the sorrow. of. it is here that business men matter me most sad dispatches vehicles that carry people and goods between egypt and libya. you know. with the mortgages and i think most of us are you know we're not. at unity and. it is the. that's not.

3 years ago pickups like these filled with migrants from across west africa pass this barrier on their journey to europe. today the flow of cars has become in me a trickle the material government has passed a law that has made the transport of such migrants illegal. jimmy get out. because that's his newness and you know. what are. you let me get after. the journey between the share and libya is dangerous. and migrant desk and desert roads have been frequent and. the new law will save lives according to the european union who pushed for its introduction. men like madam me

who organized the migrants transport had previously risked those lives. today is the largest per capita recipient of e.u. aid including funds to train guards at this checkpoint. and the critical market as well but what about i don't know the you know. but the e.u. has a vested interest it wants to stop african migrants from reaching europe and it's been argued that by passing the law has helped europe move its most southern border right into africa. in return for managing migration new share is rewarded by europe with lots of development aid and if successful this is a model that could be exported to other countries around the world so we've come here to find out how it works.

for centuries the city of ideas has been the gateway into the sarra. caravans departed from here and the 1980 s. saw a boom in tourism until a series of tribal belgians turned the region into a no go area. with the so-called migrant crisis and 2015 hour days started making global headlines once more 3 quarters of all migrants and asylum seekers who reached the italian coast line made the journey from the share. desperate to stem the flow to europe struck a deal with libya's coast guard to deter migrants from going to sea. with the introduction of the new jerry an anti trafficking in law migrants and refugees was stopped even further away from europe shores. we have come to see more about me

more subtle to find out what effect the law has had since it was passed 3 years ago . with. his compound was a so-called ghetto a place where migrants and drivers gathered before starting the journey to libya. after the law was introduced the authorities arrested many of the drivers calling them people smugglers. you know and as. i look a minute. i actually got. my editorial going to say and the level one of our editors and a bachelor before the migration ban passengers paid around $250.00 each meaning that emmys profits might have been as high as a quarter of

a $1000000.00. would you want would you want to. do and. who. would want to. do an op madam these cars have been confiscated by the military and he takes us to see them . to make up for financial loss the e.u. is funding a compensation scheme that helps former migration workers start new businesses. but get tone as like mad at me are excluded and are not reimbursed for confiscated cause. madam he is a leader of the tube or as cynic group that is home in the north of new jack and the sellers of libya 9 years ago when the rebellion and the arbutus region came to an end the government gave the to boost the transport route through the eastern

desert. their role in cross border trade means the 2 were disproportionately affected by the migration ban. well now. that you've. been away the e.u. has been investing heavily in stopping migrants from reaching it shows but that's not all it's also funding the return of migrants back to their home countries this so-called trans migration center is run by the international organisation of migration or i.o.m. who arranges the migrants return maurice. shows us around.

where the politico situation is not well and then we are having also many. informal reasons the closure of the mediterranean migration route into europe and the violent behavior of libya's militias has caused migrants to feedback in tunisia but the processing of return nice is not always straightforward for the person of. id for many. laws all they can be. a crowd is building outside nigeria security forces are violently rounding up africans dumping them quite literally across the border in tunisia. this is my money this is so many different a commitment from it. has become a repatriation hub not only for migrants who get stuck here but also for those who

have been turned back in neighboring countries you want your people playing softball to differentiate and for so that they have a long time who would like to go back to the country where they're from you know knowledge of you know the more you are. free buses deal to. leave. but a new group of migrants is starting their journey. but. when you see other people go how do you feel the. difference will be for a bit it will be obvious that. in 2018 alone over 15000 men women and children have returned to their home countries with the help of the i.o.m. . from europe's point of view the flow of migrants has been successfully reversed. but not everyone is ready to go back home a contact takes us to

a ghetto that is still operating in spite of the new law mohammed balladeer has been picked up 3 times by the new gerry and military trying to reach libya and now he's run out of money. the asian diploma show me. he feels he's got nothing to lose. as the enough to do. mohammed is from guinea conakry on the west african coast a country that's seen violent ethnic clashes. and there are. once again. be a v.m. brotherhood the result. of one man who knows he's a. bug. along

a new job and as you for me is a long way on a pretty solid flick little blue. certainly look lovely when girls and the little. girl go and the. little of the. we set off from our goddess to follow the route migrants take to reach europe our destination is still cool. and from there we want to drive towards the libyan border we will travel with an i.o.m. team that's on a rescue mission. looking for migrants who are lost in the desert as 3 car army escort provide security. we soon get a taste of what travel in the desert is like we're just outside vehicle and we're already having the 2nd public car breakdowns often leave migrants stranded in the

desert our 1st stop is the village of the thai with thousands of migrants used to drink water from this well to day military patrols are frequent and i.o.m. team leader. is told that cars with migrants no longer stop here. soon we're back on the road driving towards a nearby oasis called to member it is known as a hiding place for migrants a desert ghetto as our work once to show us something very disturbing. few. of them. tend to do not really get on. the driver who took these migrants avoided the main roads but his car broke down after 3 days of walking the migrants arrived here. with you 3 digits.
