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 today military patrols are frequent and i am 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. it is known as a hiding place for migrants a desert ghetto. once to show us something very disturbing. for all. of them. tend to do not really get off. the driver who took these migrants avoided the main roads but his car broke down after 3 days of walking the migrants arrived here. and if you see it if you do. it is if you can honestly see i'm not.

sure if you know. if you're what it really is often don't. quite know where you picked. up. they think it's a woman. because of the nail polish on the toes. most step migrants will never be found. the i.o.m. estimates that more than twice as many migrants now die crossing the desert as in crossing the mediterranean sea soon a few. 100. when a. key is.

incredibly there is a well nearby. the migrants who died drank the water from the well too quickly. we set off again after a while stops our convoy. seen somebody who's waving at us. i don't know if you know. the man's car has broken down around 5 kilometers away when we get there the head of our military escort you don't have diarrhea himself inspects the vehicle. when you're searching the cars what are you looking for is. there because i wore gave the. who has you to. help is

already on the way and we leave these men to continue their journey. our final destination is a place called mahfouz the last well before the border with libya it's a place where i.o.m. has previously found migrants in distress. it's a dangerous place where gangs and bandits are active carrying weapons that match those of our military escort. and you don't have direct is sites where to set up camp. it doesn't buy you a. mini me. don't suppose. at night the military stops to patrol and bandits and traffickers own the desert as we make our beds the guns are ready.

the next morning we descend to the well. so the ground is still wet there were people here and really recently. say on congruently everywhere are the words regime. believe. that all. well are fighting their way to go where the world. will more than it is for. your b.g. and conquer it with your buffalo news here you are to me. it's time to start our long journey back to deal cool since october 2016 the i.o.m. team has rescued nearly 900 migrants the overall number of africans transiting

through may have gone down but the ones who still attend the desert crossing face a much more dangerous journey. since our arrival india cooled we've heard complaints that the migration ban has damaged the local economy nearly every family used to make money from the migrant transport but now sales at the market have dropped and young men say they can't find employment and that. we have heard today that crime is on the rise and to find out more we have a range to meet prosecutor mussa ibrahim. or john ritter. in the regional courthouse he takes us to where the evidence is stored. these items were found by the military police less than a week earlier. that's what that's hashish so. she just.

say it was look this is a bit of additional. and yet. so this was found in a in a car that also had migraines and had to do all you want in the process of them don't and so it was with the police also seized weapons and ammunition some criminals seem to have a lot of firepower this is not just for self protection that's for serious fighting to do that but that yes it will for. the moment it's something that if. it is in solution of the worst of those. of us with the easy availability of weapons from libya mixed with growing local discontent about the loss of income has given rise to more crime the prosecutor says some drivers have become smugglers.

did. it very much says he's been threatened with kidnap and even death people and that he's hoping for more security not just for himself but also for his young family. and security is where the e.u. has been investing this is the nigerian police force demonstrating their new skills in the capital the new army that the world out there doubt that they have been trained by the e.u. civilian security and defense mission otherwise known as you cap the occasion is the celebration you kept 6th year in the country. frank dunham aaron summarizes you cap successes and. you also this.

offer. you know yes. you could have came tunisia to stop the rise of al-qaeda affiliated groups who had gained a foothold in neighboring countries since then and you kept as trained around 12000 members of new shares security forces with specialist skills this man explains how drugs are trafficked all the the you see a lot of it will all for you know if not all of it will be the organisers of a reception follows but we managed to pry you caps head of mission away for a quick question i want to know how worried he is about the impact of the migration ban that is not question of course so this is a good take of the jobs of our people of course when they start the blog the fight against migration there are efforts for the base development projects like and i

guess they have they are not that visible as we want. it is estimated that since the introduction of the anti trafficking law agadez has lost over $100000000.00 u.s. dollars in income in response to e.u. has spent $3100000.00 financing projects that include training schemes and cash for work rebuilding our goddess all city but many feel it's too little and too slow. meanwhile the e.u. funded compensation scheme for migration workers has come to a halt after less than 10 percent of successful applications received business startup kits. we've come back to see businessmen mamdani more sell at his compound to elders are voicing their grievances. soon. not going to be cute in

a pretty large jar is. the must i do you do i put in him before dinner person to tbilisi. they show me lists of names. these are all dr as you song to do is sadness only. to move well these are the 2 who drive us ok you know in paris you do companies out there didn't get any compensation. so excuse the 2 who have a fee is reputation gained by fighting a series of rebellions against the central government some girlfriend you know more like. the little sheila killers are going to be. the elders say they have to calm their youth she will do one to 2 monthly things with regard to newborn usually i don't get injured and it was you know it worked

but him were getting me the man say the discontent may create an opening for religious extremists obama. terrified. i would like. a little not a lot in other words you know. i'm the. name of. the . one with. the least of the mushroom but i would like it as a regular minimum season for their fear is justified armed religious groups have already made inroads in other parts of me jack and i mean that you have to see how those of the. attempt that if you. didn't know. and then you know. and i. showed. him from. the middle of the group to. the e.u.

insist they are addressing this the highest representative in the share ambassador denise alien that you need to has granted us an interview is there the will in brussels to act fast but risks that some of the young people especially fall in the that are tracked up by extremist movements and definitely. we need to move we need to move fast. when the renovation of the old city was completed ambassador you need to visit it agadez she says the e.u. is also looking at new development on a far bigger scale we are working on let's say the next generation off corporation which is using our resources as seed money for attracting the private sector offering gore and d.'s to say about the fact that we are providing the ground part

of big infrastructure or financing for big infrastructure works eats up a couple lives or forethought their economic activity. back at the barrier that marks the exit from the gods inspecting travel documents we are told it's because we're filming and that the checks are usually a lot less thorough. but one man may have slipped through which country are you from. what. you want to. come back or are you going back to libya. i leave this out of it good luck. he's off before we can ask about his documents. as long as migrants want to travel there will always be someone prepared to take. the real challenge lies in addressing the root causes of migration not just in

transit countries like malaysia air but in the migrants home countries to me. until then made those who still decide to travel to be safe. jordan's native tribes called security roughly half the population in a country with more refugees per capita than any other nation. with an ailing economy and concerns over the trump administration's anticipated plans for the region tensions are running high. people in power investigates increasing calls for reform as the state endeavors to control political dissent within the house of my kingdom jordan and retried on an.

outside that western centrex fair of influence to bring a different perspective to global and that. when you peel away the list a covert military in the financial docketing you see the people in those words less policies are affecting see the emotional faces the situation they're living in that's fine all the us can identify with the story. rex tillerson says he was kept in the dock and. by the president when he served as america's top diplomat. and welcome to their own life. but pronto also ahead world leaders are all

smiles as they begin 20 summit. shaping up to be one of the most fractious meetings . where to respond to 2 suicide bombers brother themselves in the capital plus. heated exchanges during the 2nd debate between democrats who code to reach the white house. rex tillerson has described diplomacy being done behind his back by the president's goal when he served as u.s. secretary of state he made the remarks about testifying about his rocky 13 months in the job which ended when donald trump fired him via twitter john hendren reports from washington d.c. . the united states' former secretary of state says he often had to practice

diplomacy in the dark rex tillerson told congress that president donald trump's son in law jared cushion or directed his own foreign policy without tillerson is knowledge president trump did not know him and president trump had no idea about how the process was supposed to work he probably thought oh well this is the way i've run my business in a newly released transcript from closed door testimony to the house committee on foreign affairs tillerson says he was surprised to walk into a washington restaurant to find jared cushion or meeting with mexico's foreign secretary i could see the color go out of the face of the foreign secretary of mexico as i very i smiled big and i said welcome to washington and i said i don't want to interrupt what you all are doing i said give me a call next time you're coming to town tillers and says he was taken aback when he was told cushion or in presidential adviser steve bannon knew of the blockade of qatar before it happened question on or about may 20th 2017 there was apparently a private dinner that was hosted between steve bannon jared cushion or in the

rulers of saudi arabia and u.a.e. respectively were you aware of that dinner answer no question that wasn't something you would heard previously answer no question and to clarify sir not prior to when i just said it answer correct question what's your reaction to a meeting of that sort having taken place without your knowledge answer it makes me angry here in washington the revelation of dueling foreign policy is want to seen as a diplomatic debacle foreign policy run as a family business with the agency in charge of diplomacy often sidelined it since they suggest that it's totally chaotic why for example would you appoint a secretary of state because that's a trouble point not a holdover from obama where you hear so distrustful of your own appointee that you shield him out of this fainted see. trump until is in had a tempestuous relationship tillerson reportedly called trump

a moron by all accounts trump has a much closer relationship with delusions replacement former cia director mike pompei oh trump tweeted that pump a it was doing a great job while tillerson was dumb as a rock and lazy as hell john hendren al-jazeera washington joe ruben as president of the washington strategy and was a deputy assistant secretary of state of the obama administration and he says that question is white house role should be a huge can say we haven't had this before and i can't emphasize it enough we've never had a family member of the president of the united states running rogue foreign policy out of the white house and that's what we have in this instance this is why we have nepotism laws in this country because this should never happen and this isn't rex tillerson fault cushion or was doing this during the transition period when he was trying to set up a private channel with russia from the russian embassy so this is his pattern and

it's very dangerous because it essentially means the united states doesn't have a single voice to our allies and adversaries abroad so how are we going to actually execute foreign policy when those who are hearing us don't really know where we stand and what we're trying to achieve that incoherence does not help us advance the ball the security clearance issue because that's going to very controversial that he was delayed in getting one for a significant amount of time because of his foreign entanglements and this week also has been very bad week for jericho there with his work and the bar in summit which was not received well here in washington so his portfolio is vast because he's the son in law of the president that's the very clear takeaway here it's not because he's a qualified individual to run foreign policy it's because he's married to the daughter of the president and that is not normal for american foreign policy or american government overall. moving on to other news now the g. 20 summit as officially underway as the world's most powerful leaders gather in japan earlier they posed for the traditional family fight and before getting down

to business tension between the u.s. and iran has already come up china's president xi jinping says the gulf is at a crossroads of war and peace trade disputes and the state of the global economy are also high on the agenda let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bays who is at the summit venue in a sock as in the leaders have arrived and now sitting down for the 1st plenary session of the summit james. yes well we've seen them sit down philippine recession lay out their stalls a very brief comments around the table of the plenary session that followed the family photo where you saw all these leaders together interested that mohamed bin psalm on the crown prince of saudi arabia was there at the front with president trump he was shunned last time the g 20 meeting because the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi this time japanese t.v.

were very careful i think when they walked into the family photo to use a very wide shot so you couldn't see who was talking to whom and who was shaky each other's hands of course saudi arabia is very much on the side of the u.s. when it comes to the situation with iran even other close u.s. allies like united arab emirates on exactly on the same page as the united states and europe china and russia aren't on the same page after the u.s. pulled out of the iran nuclear deal 2015 nuclear deal signed 4 years ago known as the joint comprehensive plan of action earlier the secretary general of the united nations antonio good terrorists gave a news conference and i asked him about the situation regarding the tensions between the u.s. and iran. i've always believed so and the go on believing that the j c p a way is

a very important instrument that was achieved and it was a factor of stability and that it will be very important to preserve it and so i made that appeal to everybody including to meet up. obviously it is essential to deescalate the situation in the gulf it is essential to avoid that. confrontation takes place in the gulf i think the world couldn't afford it. and as the u.s. iran issue likely the iran issue likely to come up james when that meeting the much anticipated big 1st bilateral meeting between presidents trump and person takes place in about an hour from now. that looks like it's going to be one of the very big meetings of the summit as you say happening very soon the 6 face to face meeting these 2 leaders have had since president trump came to office in january 27th and there's a said russia along with china and the european countries is north on the same page

as the u.s. interesting comments from the united nations in the last 24 hours firstly the benzine the russian ambassador to the u.n. making it very clear that russia believes the current tension in the gulf is a result of the u.s. they started this by pulling out of that nuclear deal so on that particular subject certainly there will be a disagreement between trump and putin but remember these are 2 leaders get on much better than their respective governments get on and that of course has been the subject of but scrutiny how long will the meaty go on for what access will we get who will be with the 2 leaders because in the past they preferred to meet virtually alone just with interpreters on each side will that happen again if it does again will be raised eyebrows james thank you very much for that and we'll of course be going back to james when those 2 leaders meet and an alpha now that's our diplomatic editor james bade live and i suck up thank you now hundreds of iraqis

have stormed the behind the embassy in central baghdad and anger over the u.s. sponsored by lama conference on peace in the middle east but iran has required its ambassador to iraq after demonstrators broke at a top down the flag replacing it with one of their own police used to live rounds to break the hour long standoff but no one was entered a $50000000000.00 economic plan was unveiled by white house that was out and behind this week mama jump june 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 manami 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 beheading any 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 the 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 at the party's political parties and politicians have been highly critical of that manana 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 off the 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. back to back civil side bombings in tunis u.s. capital have killed a police officer and wounded several other people and ahmed is trying to reassure tourists as travel agencies cancel tolls and countries issue warnings but toyah
