at the border that's an indictment of the trumpet ministrations family separation policy everyone seems to agree there's a crisis at the border with republicans saying it's the rush of immigrants coming to the u.s. and democrats saying it's the detention policy itself. the name also expresses the outrage over what democrats described as jails for children we are really generational children they'll never get we did say that this type of trauma can wait some republicans push back i am frustrated with the title of the hearing it is a hearing in titled kids in cages. what we say and the hyperbole we use matters i've been to the border many times in this day i've never seen a kid in a cage just a former immigration and customs enforcement chief says it is unfair to blame immigration agencies coping with this surge of central american immigrants fleeing

violence and poverty if you don't reduce the flow you're going to continue to get the same thing that we've seen for the last 78 months it's bad it's getting worse arrests at the border fell 28 percent in june but with the trumpet ministrations saying it plans raids on undocumented families living in the u.s. fairly soon the crisis at the border and in detention centers continues john hendren al-jazeera washington. now still ahead on al-jazeera a united front against china's treatment of winkin muslims $22.00 nations hor on the country to end its reeducation program. it's mid summer so high temperatures and humidity produce some pretty big thunderstorms in those days fed some remark or downpours recently ran north dakota

hello again i'm just. a reminder about top stories this hour tensions are high in the strait of hormuz after iranian revolutionary guard corps boats approached a british oil tanker and asked it to stop this comes just days after u.k. royal marines seized in a rainy an oil tanker forces in the gibraltar. persons about today and the u.s. has resigned days after a leak of u.k. diplomatic cables in which he describes the administration of donald trump as inept says it was impossible for him to stay on after he was slammed by trump on twitter . and a guatemalan lover has told us politicians that her infant daughter died after receiving corps medical care while in the custody of american border patrol officials she recounted the story as a hearing of the u.s. congress. well the republican chairman of the u.s.

senate foreign relations committee has introduced a bill seeking to hold saudi arabia accountable for human rights abuses and also criticizes crown prince mohammed bin cylon but doesn't go as far as to stop weapons sales to the kingdom republican senator ted cruz joins democrats and denouncing the state department. the process that the state department followed for these weapons not to put too fine a point on it was crap under the law under the arms export control or the administration needs congressional approval and has a 30 day notification period the department 30 days to take it to congress and follow the law and it was foolishness to. it looks to us these days as if the united states is the junior partner in this relationship do you know or do you not know whether civilian casualties have increased due to

coalition airstrikes i would say in a general sense here that there is a delta in information on what is attributed to a coalition ascribed to casualty and what may be ascribed to either hooty or one of the adversarial car i'll be happy to give you some fairly definitive information that states that they have doubled over time in the fact that you're talking around this is maddening now ambassadors from more than 20 countries are condemning china's treatment of ethnic and religious minorities in an unprecedented move they issued a lesson calling for the detention of weekend muslims to stop the tail of us or diane reports this fun stuff building is called a vocational center in china critics say it's more like a prison one of many detention camps run by the government. the target they say are ethnic and religious minorities mostly wigger muslims in the northwest region of chink young activists say at least 1000000 people are

detained in similar camps where extreme surveillance force assimilation and abuse are common the camps have long sparked international criticism in an unprecedented move 22 nations signed a letter to the un human rights council condemning disturbing reports australia canada and japan are among the signatories along with britain france and germany they call on china to stop the mass detentions respect religious freedom and grant independent experts meaningful access to the region. china defends the practice the government says it's not about eliminating people's identity but about teaching employment skills and pushing out what it calls extremism here far. surely choice for occasional education and training seems in accordance with the law we aim to education save those who were influenced by religious extremism and committed to legal if. the letter is not tied to a vote or

a resolution but it will be published as an official document of the un's human rights council activists say it's a good sign but china's government has long stood defiant against foreign criticism . al-jazeera. earlier we spoke to. a human rights lawyer at the back of the taskforce he says the international community needs to keep up the pressure on china the un security council can bring a resolution to the table obviously china is a permanent member they can veto it but then they'll have to go on record addressing this issue and more importantly the remaining $195.00 countries in the you know the league of nations will have to decide where they stand are they going to stand of the right of human rights or are they going to stand aside of china's pocketbook so tell me more about that when you talk about china using its pocketbook or its wallet however you want to say to to buy their way out of this

explain that to our viewers the prime ministers. to the largest muslim majority nations on earth pakistan in recent months have essentially whitewashed china's ethnic cleansing pakistani prime minister imran khan was giving an interview with the world in turkey and he said that he didn't even know there are $1000000.00 muslims in internment camps with a country that he shares a border with which you know is absurd on its face and so again it's clear that many muslim majority countries have become morally bankrupt sadly when it comes to the plate or do we. now france's military has him it has admitted to that antitank missiles found during a raid in libya belong to the french army the us made javelin missiles were recovered from the war khalifa haftar is based on the outskirts of tripoli france says the missiles were intended for the protection of a french military unit deployed for counterterrorism operations in libya but documents found with the ammunition suggest the weapons belonged to the u.a.e.

natasha butler has more from paris. a of p. and where it is news agencies say that they have received a statement from the french defense ministry and in this statement the french defense ministry says these missiles are indeed french they are u.s. made javelin missiles or the french gave to their forces operating in libya now that's interesting in itself because france has always been very vague about its presence in libya now the french defense ministry statement also says that these missiles were in fact defective they were supposed to be destroyed what the statement doesn't say those how myrth these missiles ended up in the hands of forces who are loyal to khalifa haftar i mean that's the big question and potentially a very embarrassing one for the french government because the french government have always said that they are not supplying any weapons to libya that would be in breach of a u.n.
