they doing there and explain to us how vulnerable these camps are. so vulnerable because these migrants they have been many of them have been. captured that was they were sailing off libyan coast borders europe and they had been brought back to libya because the libyan coast guard says it's their right to detain them b. since they have entered libya and legally and also saved libyan coast you're illegally and they have been many of them have been detained in libya waters and then they have been transferred to the citizen centers they cannot be. created or sent to their countries because many of them have warrants or they cannot go back to the countries now those migrants have been taken care of by the international organization for migration most cases brought in detention centers in many cases they have they suffer

a lot in specially when it comes to. catering and also. many people live in very very difficult conditions in detention centers most of them like some african nationals who some what somebody sudanese elsewhere is. back to the war. this is being interpreted in terms of their own growing war this is you know they have to let that in to intensify has strikes inside tripoli as the last city. on wednesday a mom of the head with the latest on that airstrike on the migrant camp thank you very much. well there's been a suicide bombing in the to his in capital a man destinated his explosives after being surrounded by police and interior ministry spokesman says there were no casualties and the attacker was

a wanted man. has the details from the capital tunis. explosion happened in a neighborhood in tunisia and then as well into a lot of the man was wanted he was in his early twenty's he was known to the police they'd been following him for hours they finally surrounded him they say they shot him and that's when he detonated himself he's the only person that has died there were no casualties other neighborhood has been known in the area to have young people going and joining by still in other countries is high unemployment is not a discontent that's been happening in not part of the capital now this comes just a week off a double attack that happened last thursday that happened one of them with was near the french embassy where police were targeted one person was killed and a few others were wounded and all not same day the president himself was taken ill he was taken into hospital he's in his ninety's and many people weren't sure what

was going to happen then he was released just a couple of days ago and he's said to be in a much better condition now but it's come at a time where it's and this is the height of the summer there's a lot of tourists arriving already it's going to be a busy season 14 is it for a country that relies heavily on tourism so far the government says it's not had an impact these latest attacks well yet to see what happens but there are also elections due to take place in november and with the latest with the president being hospitalized people on quite sure where the country is heading just yet. ok moving on to the u.s. now are a navy seal charged with committing war crimes in iraq has been acquitted by a military jury and california all special operations chief edward gallagher was found not guilty of murder and all other counts except for unlawfully posing for photographs with dead war casualty gallagher was accused of fatally stabbing and i saw a prisoner who had been wounded by an airstrike in iraq in 27. i was feeling like

her finally been betrayed after being terrorized by the government my husband for for 2 decades and the war on terror he's fought every major enemy of the united states he is a right just and noble individual and his name has been smeared and slandered and tracked through the mud and i think that this is vindication i hope will be a lot from learning everybody that we need to hold in this until proven guilty due process and we need to hope for the benefit of the doubt to our war heroes who we sent over there to fight these evil. castro has more details from washington d.c. . the trial of this navy seal was full of so many twists and turns that really no one knew what to expect as a result but what we do know is that the allegations against eddie gallagher were very troubling it was members of his own platoon that turned in their chief accusing him of killing

a 17 year old captured eisel fighter also shooting at unarmed civilians in iraq multiple witnesses testified to that on the stand but it was early on in the trial that prosecutors suffered a big blow when one of their own witnesses shocked the courtroom by saying it was he who had killed the eisel fighter and not gallagher that witness was a navy medic who said that he killed the young fighter as a mercy killing after seeing gallagher stab the young man in the neck now it took this military jury just about 24 hours to reach these verdicts acquitted of all war crimes except for the one count of posing with that i saw fighters body and texting photos of that to his friend still no indication of what led the jury ultimately to these conclusions but we do know that gallagher was much supported by the american conservative media and that he also enjoyed the support of president trump who

tweeted for his conditions to be improved during his time waiting for trial we also know that gallagher because he is convicted only of the one count of posing with a dead i saw fighters body will walk free today. will have plenty more. including . huggin solos to calm themselves as the bombs drop will tell you about the agony of syrian children living in opposition held areas. as well as head of police is among the number of people arrested and we will tell you why. for the world number 2 searches for. there the wimbledon title all be here with the details. for the 1st time a woman has been nominated to lead the party that oversees the affairs of the

european union this decision comes after days of wrangling over who should get the most senior jobs at the main institutions german defense minister is allowed under lyons has been nominated to replace john paul younger as president of the european commission belgian prime minister charlotte's michel is state slated to be european council president he'll be taking over from donald tusk spain's foreign minister. who has been nominated to be the ease top diplomat and he would be replacing for the record while the renie and i'm f. chief christine legarde has been put forward as the president of the european central bank taking over from mario draghi well now to be need to be endorsed by the european parliament that he has more details from brussels. after days of wrangling it's a close ally of german chancellor angela merkel who's got the nod for what many see as the most important job of all the lawyer germany's defense minister

a self-proclaimed federalist is the leaders nomination for the post of european commission president even if germany are staying put on the commission president due to some issues in the government coalition personal knowledge of the local support the whole book which 1st and foremost we have chosen to we mean. for the for people's issues a perfect. really happy about it after all europe has a will and. michelle the belgian prime minister is nominated to be the next head of the european council with spain's foreign minister josep barrel as the e.u.'s foreign policy chief while the international monetary fund boss christine lagarde is nominated to head the european central bank you know had 6 in a tired of course we all had to give a bit we all had to move but once again the european council has approved the fact that it's capable of doing so and given the disparate conceptions in europe and

amongst the various party groups and families and the various prime ministers i believe it to be an asset. the dutch labor leader runs to movements had been seen as the front runner for a commission president as the talks started on sunday but there was a big push back from countries including poland hungary the czech republic and slovakia the so-called visit for the hungary in some polls have been strongly criticised by symonds over their record on the rule of law throughout these negotiations donald toast the president of the european council has been wary of putting things to a vote prefer him to reach consensus however slowly the process is highlighted not just national divisions but the struggle for influence between europe's political families the top appointments are meant to take into account the results of the recent european elections the group that did best the center right the p.p.p. insisted one of its candidates should head the commission but the lead candidate of the greens has denounced the package as a backdoor deal and old europe at its worst is not

a certainty that the parliament will approve the names i'm going to merkel says the e.u. could explore new rules to avoid repeating the squabbles we've just seen for example direct elections and trans national lists whatever happens the calls for greater transparency are likely to get louder the dean barber al-jazeera brussels. foreign programme fella that far and. the research institute joins us now from houston texas good to have you on the program thank you very much and i want to start off with talking about how this new hierarchy is going to affect relations world relations in particular with the u.s. the new. nominee or the choice for the european commission chief. line has already heads out at tom style of diplomacy where do you see relations between the 2 sides are transatlantic relations going under her watch

well clearly the president will have initial concerns about the fact that she is a confidant of i'm going to merkel the fact that she endorses i'm european ari and the fact that she has criticized him in the aftermath of last year's helsinki conference with lot of near putin all of these things will no doubt. induce the ire of president trump that being said it is clear that she was the acceptable choice for viktor orbán and other leaders of the populist movement in eastern europe and that may serve to mitigate his ayers somewhat since he has clearly worked hard to develop relationships with those. entities which are not consistent supporters of the e.u. the. german defense minister she was understandably a huge proponent of nato pushed for more nato alliances are strategic ties

will that work well with the u.s. strategy at the moment. well there are 2 things that will possibly come up one is her management of the blue industry or as defense minister in germany there have been criticisms about its armed forces readiness questions about not meeting trump's expectations in terms of contributions to nato and so i think you know again these are areas that could be initial fault lines in the relationship at the outset however. it is my hope and i and i think it is the hope of of many in europe that by starting with a new leadership team that is broadly representative of those who hold the balance of power in the european union that at a minimum secretary of state might pump ale and john bolton may influence trumps

response to it. let's talk about christine lagarde she already broke a glass ceiling with the i.m.f. and now she's breaking yet another glass ceiling at the european union. and she with the i.m.f. she was also based in washington does not give her a certain advantage or. a purse perhaps a power relations will be moving forward economically with the u.s. between either u.s. ties particularly in the trade alina. well certainly trump has. expressed grave dismay with what he sees as an imbalance between the european union and the united states on trade and again not having a particularly strong record of working well with women executives. i'm not sure

that her standing as reputable despite the fact she has a tremendous reputation in europe. will necessarily assuage his initial concerns and so i think this is another area along with climate change in which we will simply have to wait and see whether or not trump is willing to have his national security team in gage in a constructive manner with this new leadership team or whether he will set the terms in a tweet that largely goes to what he assumes about this leadership team louis nowra with the foreign policy research institute thank you so much for your insight probating politicians in hong kong say it could cost $1300000.00 to repair the damage as a legislature building but protesters had ransacked and vandalized on monday a massive cleanup operation is underway and the police have cordoned off the area

as a crime scene now a special task force has been set up to look into the recent mass protests triggered by a controversial bill that bill would have allowed extraditions in mainland china someone there speaking go live to weigh in hey who is standing by for us and hong kong wayne what's the scene that city. yes slowly but surely surely the area around the legislative council has returned to normal the roads have been reopened rubbish is being cleared away the building itself though as you mentioned still very much a crime scene still in a state of disarray really a lot of damage was caused by the protesters as they force their way into what is effectively hong kong went on monday evening it is still cordoned off the police still investigating still trying to build a case against those that chose to go in there ready vandalizing as they went it's going to be quite difficult we should point out for them to do that the chief

executive kerry lamb pointed out in that media conference at 4 o'clock in the morning on tuesday that tuesday that they would go off to these people until the end legally but the protesters from what we saw were very careful certainly as they went into that building to conceal their identity they had mosque song they spray painted over a lot of the security cameras inside there we understand also there was quite a bit of damage done to equipment inside the room housing the security equipment in the legislative council so it is very much a crime scene at the moment the president of the legislature is saying that this building is going to be closed for at least 2 weeks they may consider having lawmakers meet in another location at the moment that clearly is not possible here we should point out also that behind me in another government building attached to the legislative council it has reopened allowing government employees to return to work this morning so when i understand

a special task force is being set up to look into what happened on that fateful night but what is being said about the police actions of that night that allowed the protesters to progress or to to go so far into the legislative council building . you know it was certainly quite a remarkable scene the protest as it's been al was really trying to break through that reinforced force to get in there throughout the course of monday afternoon into monday evening and as they were trying to smash that glass there were a lot of police on the other side inside the building trying to resist those attempts to get inside by the protesters when they would make a hole in the glass they would occasionally used pepper spray to protect try to push them back but when they ultimately made the decision to invade the building the police completely disappeared really so it was quite amazing the question was put to the police commissioner of hong kong in that media conference on tuesday

morning so after the protesters have been dispersed with a journalist pointing out to him that perhaps this was some sort of trap sit by the police to enable the protesters to go in knowing they would cause a lot of damage perhaps enabling the government and the police to take the moral high ground and win the p.r. battle between the government and the protest as the commissioner rejected that saying that they simply did a tactical retreat that it was a very dangerous situation he pointed out that earlier in the day they allege that the protesters had sprayed or thrown some sort of chemical substance on some of the police offices in another area so they didn't want that happening inside a very enclosed space in the building they pointed out that some of the power had been cut so they ensured that all the remaining staff inside the security personnel had been evacuated and the police according to the commissioner made a very tactical decision to retreat from the building but no doubt that decision will make up a big part of that inquiry that you mentioned going forward thank you very much

wayne hay for us in hong kong. european foreign minister ministers say they're extremely concerned after iran announced that it had breached a limit for low enriched uranium just set by the 2015 nuclear deal despite the britain france and germany say they won't seek to reimpose un sanctions for now but the french president emanuel micron has urged iran to immediately reduces enrich uranium reserves in a tweet iran's foreign minister mohammed jobs or eve hit back at the european signatories to the nuclear deal saying that iran is committed to the full implementation of that deal called the j c p o a as long as the eat 3 implement their economic commitments so moving forward iran will comply with its commitments under the j c p o a and exactly the same manner as the e.u. each we have and will comply with theirs and then he asks fair enough

the e.u. budget and it doesn't like the way that europe does differently the whole way the group systems work again very undemocratic you know you have to tie up with people in 7 other countries and you know if you're leaving and everybody else wants to leave it there's no sense. that's a british as. they certainly started as they mean to go on turning their backs in the chamber during the inauguration ceremony as the european anthem was played. so there are new fault lines everywhere outside a big castle and demonstration in protest against spain for blocking their leader. from taking his seat inside. and across the floor of the chamber new rights wing populists viewed with fear and suspicion by the establishment center writes while over on the left surging greens and liberals many wearing yellow stop bricks it t. shirts are just as killer fights this is not politics as usual we're all out there
