hello once again i'd like to say in the forecast there will be showers in turkey and quite substantial ones and possibly in georgia certainly somewhere around the caucasus but the moment that's not sick a case except you've got a bit of a water source caspian sea we might see a few shows there it's a dry ice picture and of course fairly reliably hot from $39.00 terran to $45.00 down in baghdad and probably harder than that in basra the wind direction the northerly typically across the plains of iraq and down towards the the gulf that's often dusty but not particularly so at them i was not particularly strong so little change in this day apart from those incoming big showers for turkey down the arabian gulf typically were in the forty's and most places humidities hovering on the. i an acceptable not quite there as you can see the wind direction slightly off alone for example for bahrain and qatar that's a draw is direction not so for upper darby you've got rather more humid conditions but. the southwest the monsoon kicking in now you just get the edge of it so often
1:04 pm
it is overcast and sometimes just not quite there but when not far away most of southern africa is of course dry and sunny at the moment and thursday is no exception. the weather sponsored by catherine. this is a dialogue a meeting about it for nothing on international media and on t.v. why should we stop this conversation with skepticism because there's a lot of it on my everyone has a voice we are being taken advantage of just because we are small community without any network to seek help join the global conversation on out to 0 all they want to do is start the debate the same kind of debate that we have here in st.

1:06 pm
twitter. now ambassadors from more than 20 countries are condemning china's treatment of ethnic and religious minorities in an unprecedented move they issued a letter calling for the detention of weak and muslims to stop cutting up his head again 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
1:07 pm
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. countries that did not sign the document raise just as much interest out of the 22 nations assigned as none of them were muslim majority nations which is really quite telling because china is using their pocketbook to gain influence in many of these nations as well. 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 year far surely by ceasing up locational education and training centers in accordance with the law we aim to education save those who were influenced by religious extremism and committed to mine it legal or fix it. the letter is not
1:08 pm
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 . of the young al-jazeera. now a new study is painting a dark picture for nearly 80 percent of the cities in the wild saying that within the next 40 years they'll undergo dramatic and potentially disastrous effects due to climate change research was conducted by scientists of the crowd lab in switzerland more than a 5th of the 520 cities they studied will encounter conditions currently not seen in any major urban hubs the most dramatic shift is expected to occur in cities currently in cold zones of the northern hemisphere they're likely resemble areas closer to the equator european cities are estimated to get warmer around 3 degrees more in the summer and nearly 5 degrees in the winter scientists say world leaders
1:09 pm
are not prepared for the effects of what they call global heating for robert donald is the lead scientist for the global cities program at the nature conservancy he says the study is a wake up call for politicians to push stronger initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. we're not just talking about average temperatures but we're talking about intense heat waves. already this world has seen heat waves like in 2003 in europe heat waves that have killed 70000 people so he waves like that are going to get more frequent and more intense and they're going to happen in places like montréal or toronto that right now are not used to very hot temperatures and so that's a hard of attention for cities to make in just a few decades people are going to settle in different places as the climate changes but. the world cities are where they are and there's going to have to be a lot of adaptation to keep people safe in the cities so the world us to do 2 big things we have to start reducing our greenhouse gas pollution so that we avoid
1:10 pm
really catastrophic climate change and we have to start getting ready for the climate change that's already in the system that we're going to see you know lifetimes and in our children's lives what's striking about this study is they should. sort of a middle of the road scenario that assumes some continued action by world leaders and so what it shows is that the path we're on is maybe not ambitious enough and that leaders at all levels of government need to be more ambitious in emissions reductions it also shows i think that the challenge of adaptation is going to be really stark and there's going to be big surprises demonstrators in georgia continuing to rally outside the parliament building demanding an end to what they call pro russian policies hundreds of people have been injured in clashes with riot police since protest hours and $21.00 days ago andrew symonds is on the ground for us in the capital tbilisi. the numbers of people turning out every evening to

t.v. channel attacked the russian president vladimir putin with offensive remarks and obscenity is directed his late mother and father but since then president putin has ordered the law parliament not to pursue further sanctions against georgia even though the ban on direct flights from russia remains that's having a big impact on tourism and it's the backbone of georgia's economy could what's happening here be a storm of a tick up a minority of people trying to take on the government accusing it of being too lenient on russia or is it the start of something much bigger a movement that will take on the state machinery accusing it of being influenced or even more than that controlled manipulated by russia what's known as soft power. a former georgian ambassador to the united states believes putin intends to take control. nor do i think is on the crossroads where there will be yet another.

1:21 pm
all those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after the strain to stay with us. to al-jazeera. problems and besides the instability is corruption we listen. to are pushing the united states and president trump into conflict we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter how does iraq. fire for me ok i'm really could be here in the stream today 3 segments from libya we will look at the battle for tripoli show ideas for ending the country's war and hear about migrants caught in the country's conflict as always you can take part in our conversations and us your thoughts via twitter or in our live chat.
1:22 pm
why all detained migrants being killed in libya questions still surrounding july the 3rd air attack in a tripoli that destroyed a migrant detention center and killed at least 50 detainees and wounded 130 others a u.n. special envoy to libya said that the attack could constitute a war crime the incident is believed to be one of the most fatal cases a civilian deaths since april when rebel forces led by general khalifa haftar launched a military offensive to seize the capital city have a listen to what you are and see our spokesperson charlie yaxley had to say about the attack on migrants this was a despicable tragedy that never should have happened we warned about the situation of the detainees into jewelry just 2 months ago and we called for them to be evacuated after a similar strike badly damaged the roof of the center and injured 2 of the detainee's sadly they were not evacuated and 50 of the detainees who have paid the
1:23 pm
price with their lives what we need now is a significant shift in approach the clashes continue. and there remain some 3800 people in detention centers at risk of being caught up in the violence we need in holland search and rescue capacity and renewed efforts to make sure that nobody no refugee is returned to libya to come and be considered to have a safety at this time the tragic events of the last week of. it with us to talk about this from tunis sam turner he had the libyan mission for doctors without borders or m.s.f. and is some ball of them called that i said to a senior writer with the libya observer and in rome italy close a senior analyst with the international crisis group welcome to the stream all of you i want to start with our community and someone in particular who says they're
1:24 pm
in so this is and open native and the people behind this account say they have be official page of refugees in libya in suffering and oka native writes the migrants into shelter where they were bombed by an airstrike sharing this picture with us today they got out of the euro because the u.n. h.c.r. is unable to save or evacuate them and still many are waiting for evacuation and assistance and of course we heard what the u.n.h.c.r. spokesperson had to say at the beginning of this show but sam what do we know about this attack. what we know is is quite simply the that it represents an atrocious attack on civilians no no matter who they are but in this case it was civilians who were trapped who were locked into a detention facility leading to such an extraordinary and immediate loss of life old we believe up to 60 people who were killed in this attack on the detention center where migrants refugees and asylum seekers were being held i'm coming to
1:25 pm
months after a similar strike on the same detention center compound that was referenced by charlie from u.n.h.c.r. i was actually into dura detention center the day after the previous strike and i went into that cell where the shrapnel torn through the roof and issued piece of metal had bounced off the ground just a metre away from where a baby was sleeping on a mattress and the women were terrified and i can only imagine the level of fear and desperation now felt by all those refugees migrants who continue to be trapped in detention centers in libya and until whom there are really no options at the cottage you want to explain why where the tension center is what's become a target. actually there's no sublimation why it would be argued that they do own the building a nation that i can say is the. let me say the madness of the attack on the
1:26 pm
attackers because like you know shortly before one day before the attack after hours forces that his folks men they said were going to be carrying out precision air strikes on that target and in tripoli and the day after the air strike at the migrant center and the day after the migrant center was helped by air strike this spokesman ahmed in this matter you said that we did that that the air. we carried out the airstrike on on our dime on which is another name for detention center and he said you know this was like an absolute confession and admission of the tag there was no action or no contamination and you know that the u.n. security council failed to condemn the because of the u.s.
1:27 pm
you know the reaction and then they condemned the attack but they didn't condemn the people who carried out the attack so this is actually a failure on many levels and that's why it's happening and it's happening just of billions liggins or migrants both of them are civilians but the did the tragedy here is that because the civilians who are trapped and have nowhere to go they are forced to be in that place they can't run away they can go freely around the area that's the only thing. that i feel like i i think they feel if you live for a little bit more of context. go ahead look in the sky with give us again i have i think we need a little bit more context because we have to place this attack within an ongoing war that is happening since you know the beginning of april between courses of the libyan national army headed by a hostile are against the forces of the trip backs government and it's since april
1:28 pm
that was seeing day the airstrikes on tripoli and on various parts of tripoli mainly targeting the literally relations or allegedly buildings and infrastructure believed to be under the control of the military factions from the opposing side now this attack on the 3rd you were at the time. according to the l a nay was. a mistake they claim they were attacking a weapons depot over an armed group in the nearby area it is this time that there is an armed group based in the cost of land neighboring this has told you a detention center and the previous air attacks that my colleagues were referring to the one that happened 2 months ago did appear to have targets one was the use to . go to impose those weapons because well i want to know if you say i'm just going
1:29 pm
to do that yeah if and when i and libyan national army we also have community wanting to being part of this conversation as well so how tight would just come back to just a moment really kind of quality on your point about this being part of an ongoing war and so of course this started much of this started with the advance towards tripoli by honey funhouse but i want to share the viewpoint from a journalist sally hayden who makes that same point and says this is not unique in itself and this is part of a chain of other things that we've seen so have a listen to what sally told the stream. the number of deaths in 2 sure the latest 10. deaths in detention centers to scare and. witnesses told me that 2 refugees who tried to escape at the end of june were shot and killed by guards. for more i've seen there is no responsibility for any of these to at least they e.u.
1:30 pm
the us and they've been a target nobody's adding up the number of people dying in detention and also there doesn't really seem to be much of an attempt to tell the families of the people who die. so sam do you want to take that on because she says there seems to be a lack of responsibility claims on the either side. absolutely and so the use is completely right to to bring up the the situation in other dissensions senses not only in conflict related deaths where we have seen a horrific attack on the cusp of being the sure in in late april where an armed group stormed a detention center where over 800 people were being we're being held we know that in that incident several people were killed and up to 20 others injured but these deaths in detention centers are not just confined to armed conflict and we have seen numerous deaths in detention centers from preventable causes due to the lack
1:31 pm
of provision of medical services and other extremely poor conditions of detention themselves i mean as as we currently stand the the war in tripoli has had a horrendous effect on all of the civilians who are living in tripoli and the surrounding areas but the w.h.o. the world health organization figures suggest that they can come from around a 160000000000 deaths since the start of this conflict now we know for certain that around 60 of those deaths are amongst refugees and migrants in detention centers this conflict is having a disproportionate impact on on this population and yet it's all just part of a much bigger picture study i'm hinted at earlier so i want to push on just a little bit to the battle for tripoli more than a 1000 people have been killed since april as 2 rival coalitions fight for control over the capital city a libya has been in conflict since the ousting of mama khadafi and 2011 and currently the country has 2 rival governments and tripoli
1:32 pm
a un recognized government of national accord which received support from turkey and qatar and in libya's east road commander heidi for have tattered and his self declared libyan national army they've been advancing on tripoli with a ground an air offensive backed by the u.a. e. saudi. arabia and egypt abuses have allegedly been committed by both sides well the world health organization said on tuesday that 106 civilians have been killed in the fighting so have a listen to general. the operations spokesman for the self declared libyan national army. and the instructions issued by the commander in chief of our forces are not to target any governmental private or public institutions these institutions belong to citizens or belong to the state they cannot be targeted because we care about it we are responsible army and disciplined force which cares about the interest of the country. so you heard what he had to say there but i want
1:33 pm
to share what this means for many members of our audience in libya this is no who says this war penetrates into everyone's life no matter how much we resist succumbing to its form it ability she goes on to say where i live is not considered close to the heavy fighting but they make sure to remind me of the war every now and then by those loud rumbles and the sound of sirens never fails to make your heart cringe as you realize that your fellow libyans are losing their lives for no good reason the smell of death is sorted to the tolls he's getting higher as the stakes do to what has this conflict in this push towards libya towards tripoli rather of them that are meant for your average resident. actually did the residents are directly impacted by this you know fighting because water caught our cars and everything but let's talk about the displacement and the
1:34 pm
1st place this fighting since april 3rd has displaced so far over 100000 people and more of course and these people are spread around tripoli the capital and western other western regions hit it now this displacement means a lot because these families have nowhere to go most of them went to school so. that education ordered the system as because of families you know being hosted in the schools or other other issues are related to the to the like the hospitals the medical staff and did the lack of services because of the big numbers of injuries and the idea that most of the medical medical facilities are in nephite things. let's talk about the infrastructure and the problem the private and public properties that have been targeted by the house
1:35 pm
there's forces an air strike. we have like you know who. stores we have. course school books for the governments have been targeted we have like many private properties that have been destroyed if you look at footage from. for example just to bring it here from the version you can be told will destruction of private property is these are things that cannot be regained so easily people are people have worked their lifetime in order to build a house and you know build a small shop to buy to sell things to the be able so these are you know like human to human you carry an issues and these are like very simple things that are not caught by everybody's eyes cody's i also just to sum up general have to what would
1:36 pm
you say about. well general hocked our divides that are in libya i feel that he is a hero that saved. you know radical groups that have put their city in. busy many many that have a completely opposite view and see him as the incarnation of evil. that may be a lot of war against terror to be waging war against opponents and these individuals essentially consider him in. busy power. it's not up to me to to define him but i think that they didn't recognize that he's a divisive figure in libya and unfortunately to reconcile and they're going to bring back together there's one tree that seems frankly for 2 units divided into political entities 2 rival governments and military actions there needs to be.
1:37 pm
movement and to find a middle ground motherly you know part of the there is and what's he doing on many other issues that have divided into continue to divide the country and to go back to your question about you know what is the impact of this war in tripoli. my colleague before mentioned sort of their humanitarian impact of the war but i think there's a much more important. than mythical long term impact of this war because up until 4 months ago and still some hope of that we can sit nation through these folks are you learning let me but since the place that was to the teeth in a quote that has all. of the conflict so the armed groups that are supporting the tip the government and the armed forces that are supporting the national army. headed by how are both sort of going in to work they will they can they. well we're almost you know only one woman.
1:38 pm
and i think this is the biggest tragedy of war that. the parties of the conflict a lot. lot of examining other. community also want to weigh in on this point so final segment so blue ships can there be such a thing to the war in libya after 8 years of conflict why has it been so difficult to end the country's war fighting in tripoli has forced us bowman to some peace efforts despite tripoli face prime minister fayyad alcide raj last month proposed a libyan cromwell's and that's aimed at finding out peaceful solution to the conflict here's what he said on june 16th. we've decided during this form what will be the future roadmap of this period and create the suitable constitutional law to hold presidential and parliamentary elections
1:39 pm
before the end of 2019 which a political solution what are the possibilities is that where you know about negotiations that are going out of the negotiations for negotiations to take place even. actually negotiations the movement house our lives the offensive on tripoli you know you know the story but one thing is important here how start is advocating for military rule in libya so there is no negotiation or political solution on his agenda is talking about bringing him back to the the you know the the family rules not the military rule not the dictatorship alone no the family rule is like the gadhafi rule where his son can take part of the governing of the of the country we can see that very clearly now. 2 or 3 are in
1:40 pm
the military and the other one is just doing if you're patient then entertainment south then because the this is absolutely i mean policy that does not help libyan libyans once a modern a civilian the state pays where they can go and vote and choose their. you know their armaments and their president this was very close to happening before the attack of tripoli that was led by half there so the idea that the rise dead that we need a new method for. ordinary goshi ation is absolutely how full because you cannot negotiate with someone who really lived the coup against negotiation again we need the new faces that represent the eastern region with certain region and the southern region and we need the new people new political figures to lead negotiation libya libya negotiation under the un i've
1:41 pm
heard bad i think i'm really legal things that's somewhat wishful thinking in the sense that i take note of that russia's. synergism vission to has a new use for in the in the as i can remember was before he says from the east. but we have to face the fact that willingly or unwillingly. his voice is a government that backs an ira reality on the ground and i don't like them i'm not like that he might about them or or agree with them but it's difficult to loads of process that excludes an actor that has the military might to attack tripoli and has the level of foreign support that you can't still somehow i think we need to be thinking about a new form of alert that called i don't in the situation but certainly not one which. excludes it's
1:42 pm
a choice on the ground and less of an i think i think one thing that is explicitly clear in this situation in libya is that while governments around the world put their own national interests 1st. and perpetuates the current situation in terms of the military support that is being provided to both sides in the conflict or be it the policies or european states where the priority appears to be more about controlling migration and supporting libyans to see a peaceful insist and successful libya i think and so we see a change in that situation we're going to continue to see the ongoing conflict that has rocked the country for years i want to share the viewpoint of one of our community members from outside of libya who is looking at this as so many of our community members are as to what international players can be doing so this is a and here's what he told the string. this is. to give. of your.
1:43 pm
boss an interesting discount leave by everybody who wants to argue. the. study dead over my god i believe. any form of control by external forces. can govern us. before and they seem. willing to abuse. so he mentions external forces there he is not the only one this person tweeted in my opinion the wars and is not and have to or d.n.a. as hands are too many external forces at play claudio what do you make of that point yes i mean there is no doubt that the conflict in libya is a multi tier on the one level we have international component on the planet and in
1:44 pm
fact they are regional actors they are playing out their own what was armed against well as you mentioned there is a correlation in access that goes from tired in the late saudi arabia that have a common vision for the region and see. the other side and so this is the international dimension of the conflict but then we have also no completely different layers we have a political conflict we have a military conflict between rival military cooperation then we have a conflict over the control of the country's finances and then cannot make the source so long term solution of the conflict in libya requires an intervention of moultrie levels there needs to be a very tense international activists to pressure their proxies so their friends in libya to accept the ceasefire and accept we can talk stock i mean them start playing late. but all. so either domestic level there needs to be political talks

1:49 pm
color i missed on the italian this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. we are the generation of children. house democrats condemn the trump administration's treatment of children detained at centers along the us mexico border. we look at the stage of media freedom as a major conference in london. and it's the end of the road for the iconic volkswagen beetle after more than 80 years in production. now there are reports that 5 boats supposedly belonging to the iranian revolutionary guards approached a british oil tanker and also to stop in iranian waters in the gulf on wednesday but the vessels withdrew the commander after a british warship gave them a valuable warning to back away the incident comes off to gibraltar officials and the u.k. royal marines seized in a rainy an oil tanker headed to syria last week iranian president hassan rouhani
1:50 pm
had warned that britain would see the consequences of its actions in a statement the united states central command said when aware of the reports of islamic revolutionary guard corps navy is harassment and attempts to interfere with the passage of the u.k. flag match and vessel british charity. today in the straits of hormuz we refer you to the u.k. ministry of defense for further information on this while this all comes as u.s. president donald trump issued another threat to iran over its nuclear program he tweeted iran has long been secretly enriching in total violation of the terrible $150000000000.00 deal made by john kerry and the obama administration remember that deal was to expire in a short number of years sanctions will soon be increased substantially well it was only earlier this week that terror on announced it would be exceeding the limits on uranium enrichment set out under that 2015 nuclear deal which the u.s. pulled out of last year how correspondent saying does robbie has more from tehran.
1:51 pm
as the 2050 nuclear deal continues to fall apart the task of trying to save it now falls to france in meetings in tehran the french president's top diplomatic adviser walk the line between american economic pressure on iran and iranian diplomatic pressure on europe to ignore u.s. sanctions if they want to keep the nuclear deal alive but if emanuel baan had hoped he could convince iran not to continue reducing cooperation with the joint comprehensive plan of action he likely left disappointed iran says the rollback will stop when sanctions do. i guess it is really funny that the americans who broke the deal completely asking for an emergency meeting of the. day to complain about iran reducing its commitments the u.s. says iran has bad intentions well if enrichment is bad why do they enrich themselves the only country that has used nuclear weapons against innocent people is the united states the 2015 deal is essentially transactional iran curbs nuclear
1:52 pm
activity so it can sell oil and generate revenue that process stopped working when the u.s. restarted sanctions and now it's playing out on the open seas earlier this week the british royal marines seized an iranian oil tanker off the coast of japan after the horizon is called it an act of piracy that undercuts london's commitment to the nuclear deal and a breach of the j.c. . and on wednesday u.s. officials once again put out a call for countries willing to form a military coalition to patrol shipping lanes off the coast of iran and yemen a move that could make things even worse the potential for things going on without . getting an agreement on those. as well every nation. regardless. agreement direction french president emanuel necron has said it is time again for dialogue american sanctions didn't bring iran back to the negotiating
1:53 pm
table as. u.s. president donald trump might have liked in fact iran now says it will not stop producing cooperation with the way for anything short of a lifting of banking. but the british this week iranian oil tanker in international waters because america asked them to and the united states is now calling on other militaries to help patrol middle eastern waters to protect shipping lanes from what they say is an iranian threat all things considered any hope france might have had of a negotiated solution to any of this might be overly optimistic. on an emergency meeting of the u.n. nuclear watchdog on wednesday has failed to produce any results according to iran's ambassador to the international atomic energy agency the session was held at the request of washington which accused iran of breaching the 2015 nuclear iran defended itself against the u.s. accusations correspondent john hall has more from vienna. i think the most
1:54 pm
important thing to come out of this meeting at the i.a.e.a. in vienna is that iran is not at this moment anyway planning to take any further steps away from the new clear deal although each envoy for some arab our body did affirm that after another 60 days now if indeed the parties have still not come back into full compliance with their commitments to iran under the deal particularly the europeans of course and their commitment to protect iran's economy under the deal will then it will be prepared to launch a 3rd phase of actions in response but pointing out that no firm response has yet been decided upon by iran was struck by the told the ambassadors in the room that once again. the enrichment that iran is undertaking is its right under the nonproliferation treaty is required for purely peaceful purposes and that iran has never tried to create or acquire weapons of mass destruction he made the point that
1:55 pm
simply repeating the baseless accusations against iran pointed of course at the united states does not magically authenticate them he said and he painted the u.s. as the ultimate aggressor both in the region and in the current state of the nuclear deal you know that the issue of and which meant is not permitted under the number of version 2000 this is the right of every member to the nonproliferation treaty and this is iran's right and saw a lot we are doing is in a very transparent manner is under the surveillance of the law a the inspectors and barely a single activities under monitoring we have nothing to hide it is questionable therefore what the united states will feel that it's achieved out of this meeting a meeting that he had called of course of all the board of governors of the i.a.e.a. looking presumably for some sort of international unity of purpose towards iran and
1:56 pm
finding instead in the room only division and no formal conclusion reached by this meeting the board simply saying that all the parties must come back into compliance the division very clear among the signatories themselves to the deal. now britain's ambassador to the united states has resigned saying it's impossible to stay on after president cut off all contact with him and branded him a pompous for it follows the leaking of diplomatic cables and which can direct describe the trumpet ministration as comes easy and inept your incident reports there is no precedent for this kim derek all of the u.k.'s most senior diplomats in the most important world capital forced from office after a concerted attack on his credibility by actors in london and at the white house prime minister in parliament spoke the prime minister and leader of the opposition expressed what you can only call thinly disguised outrage at what they see as in assaults on the integrity of the u.k.'s diplomatic service good government depends
1:57 pm
on public servants being able to give full and frank advice i want all of our public servants to have the confidence to be able to do that. the parliament's foreign affairs committee went to try to make sense of its asking the head of the country's diplomatic service if you'd ever known anything like it or not in his career he said nor in anyone else's in the last 150 years. the last time i know that we had difficulty with the united states was 856. when the incumbent was accused of recruiting americans to fight on the british side in the crimean war president franklin pierce was in the one. on one level derek's position had become untenable since president trump decided to blackball him from official events following the ambassador's leaked criticisms of him and his administration although all go on tell us where the last straw was
1:58 pm
a come on but the straw that broke the camel's back was that barack watched the t.v. debate on tuesday night's between jeremy hunt the foreign secretary and boris johnson in the race to become the u.k.'s next prime minister hunt said he supported barack and said trump had no business interfering in the u.k.'s diplomatic service but johnson didn't he refused to say he had to direct it back as the u.k.'s man in washington so i will keep him until he's choose to retire and i think would like to know if you get well i'm not going to be so presumptuous as to thank you i got a good position it seems derek decided that johnson was prepared to throw him under the bus in favor of his support for trump and the favorable trade deal with the usa as part of it the logic of this is there's none better than a country with which the u.k. might want to do a trade deal china say or brazil will have to think twice about expressing their opinions openly even in secret diplomatic cables for fear that they might get
1:59 pm
leagues and that in itself undermines governments but apart from that if boris johnson becomes prime minister he'll be faced with the foreign office furious at his perceived role in bringing down one of their own. himself assuming he becomes prime minister will pick the next ambassador to washington the question is will it be a neutral diplomats or a political appointment rex it is taking yet more victims this time but the heart of government largely al-jazeera in london and u.s. house of representatives oversight committee hearing is looking into the deteriorating conditions in detention centers at the southern border with mexico and guatemala mother has told us politicians that her infant daughter died after receiving poor medical care while in the custody of american border patrol officials john had been reports from washington. the tearful mother's visible pain captured members of congress make it better it's likely more out
