a report focusing on extrajudicial killings arrests and disappearances that are part of president ordering go to 10 days on time not politics campaign. china has reacted angrily to accusations that it's detaining hundreds of thousands of ethnic wig or muslims in an unprecedented move ambassadors from $22.00 countries including australia britain canada france germany and japan have written to the u.n. human rights office they say china's policy in the sheen jiang region is unlawful when he is in beijing to tell us more about the chinese reaction. china's ministry of foreign affairs has responded to the letter signed by 22 countries regarding the situation in shin jang province and predictably i guess it was dismissive of this letter saying that this was an attempt to politicize the issue of human rights and that this was a domestic affair for the government in china to deal with and it wasn't up to
9:07 am
anyone outside china to comment on the situation there it also pointed out that there has been no terrorist attack in the region for the past 2 years evidence it says that this program is working remembering that the government maintains that these are not detention centers in province they are vocational schools with one of the main aims being to prevent terrorism and extremism and also responded to a request in the latest sign by these countries that inspectors experts be allowed meaningful access to the area the government saying that it has already organized trips involving media and so-called experts diplomats to the region and what they reported when they returned was quite different to what has been put trade in the western media the important word to emphasize here is meaningful in those trips in
9:08 am
the past those trips have been very much controlled by the government controlled by the security forces and the government really only showing the people on those trips to show exactly what it wants the outside world to see. at calming in the libyan city of benghazi has killed at least 4 people and wounded dozens the blast targeted the funeral of a special forces commander loyal to the warlord honey for half time the head of special forces was attending the funeral that was on haunts and investigation is underway after a rocket carrying a satellite for the united arab emirates failed many. to take off their ear the european vaguer rocket which lifted off from french why anna suffered a major anomaly 2 minutes into its launch the last payload was the 1st of 2 satellites that was to create the fall can i satellite system for the u.a.e. the launch was twice postponed due to bad weather to the u.s. now a present donald trump says his not backing down on efforts to determine the citizenship
9:09 am
status of the american population but he's abandoned plans to put a question on citizenship into the 2020 census instead he'll issue an executive order to pursue other ways to get the data. i'm here by ordering every department today agency in the federal government to provide the department of commerce with all requested records regarding the number of citizens and non-citizens in our country. they must furnish all legally accessible records in their possession immediately we have great knowledge in many of our agencies we will leave no stone unturned just there is gabriel and his until has mall from washington d.c. . the trip administration argued that the citizenship question should be on the census because they say it was of vital to determining how many non u.s. citizens were living in the united states and to help determine public policy over
9:10 am
many immigrants rights advocates and civil liberties organizations and many key democrats as well argued that it was unnecessary and that it would ultimately lead to undocumented immigrants in the united states not wanting to participate in the census which would lead to an undercount now that's important because the census data is used to determine where billions of dollars a year in federal funding is sent to and it also determines. congressional representation as well so democrats were arguing if you ask a citizenship question and force people to answer that question undocumented immigrants won't participate and it's going to lead to a huge undercount of the supreme court just within the last couple weeks determine that they would not allow the citizenship question to be added on the census so this was essentially donald trump's way of trying to go around the supreme court basically saying this will be an executive order to making all government agencies
9:11 am
hand over any sort of data they have on undocumented or or non-citizens into one big database but clearly the bottom line is the citizenship question now is over it will not go on the u.s. census and that is a big defeat for donald trump and outrage continues in the u.s. over donald trump separation of migrant children from their parents they are growing calls to decriminalize border crossing spieth hide and seek is to end to the u.s. with mexico christian salome reports some new york. in cities like new york president donald trump's policy of prosecuting asylum seekers who cross the border illegally separating them from their children and holding them in overcrowded facilities has served as a rallying cry for immigration activists and faith groups no more deportations no more detentions no more reads no more threats and raise your head if you think it
9:12 am
should be a civil offense rather than a crime to cross the border calls to decriminalize border crossings making them a civil rather going to criminal offense have gone from the fringe to mainstream supported by leading contenders for the democratic presidential nomination in recent debates democrats won as far as supporting health insurance for the undocumented for term supporters cracking down on illegal immigration has been a top issue but opponents say the u.s. administration's treatment of migrants the search of a better life does not fit their own legend time while the focus of the immigration debate has been at the us mexico border the trumpet ministrations strict interpretation of immigration law has been playing out a courthouses like this one all around the country this is where the undocumented who have been living and working in the community some for more than a decade have been rounded up for deportation experts say decriminalizing border crossings has appeal for free market republicans as well as democrats but promising
9:13 am
the undocumented health insurance could be a step too far not imprisoning them not taking their kids away from them these are things that you know are commonsense to normal everyday americans we don't treat people that way but the idea that you're going to start giving medicare to people who don't even have a legal status in the united states that's where you start to lose people with growing evidence that migrants are being held in inhumane conditions activists say decriminalizing border crossings would eliminate the legal justified. cation as well as the high cost for doing so while freeing up resources to prosecute those who are a real threat kristen salumi al jazeera new york i mean trash team of experts has launched a new campaign to locate victims of argentina's military dictatorship of the 1970 s. about 30000 people disappeared during the period known as the dirty war terisa bori

pour some bias. the truth and justice have been for decades the main objective of the argin time entropy ology forensic team that's why they continue to work to shed light on what happened to the thousands of people who were disappeared during argentina's dirty war over 40 years ago. from yet it would take samples from the relatives and create forms with information from the donor and the relative who disappeared that would compare it with the samples we have the team was created in 1906 when argentina embarked on a process of exhumations of the many unmarked graves found in the country believing that many of them could well contain and identified victims of force disappearances the argentine mantra polity forensic team believes that with their work they can help the relatives find justice but also some type of closure they're currently working to identify the remains in this boxes there are 600 remains that allegedly

9:22 am
hello and welcome to the program dennis now what started as a leak of secret diplomatic memos to a british tabloid newspaper has led to the resignation of a tough ambassador and to questions about the u.k.'s position in the world kim darrick felt compelled to quit as britain's man in washington after a brow that swept across the atlantic the diplomats who described donald trump and his administration as ins a kill inept and dysfunctional in his reports back to london when the contents of those top secret files became public the president responded with a barrel of angry tweets the ambassador was abruptly disinvited from the white house dinner for the cattery amir president trump insulted darrick personally and announced that he could not work with all of this on twitter to add to the mix
9:23 am
boris johnson britain's likely next prime minister refused to publicly support the ambassador johnson's critics around griot how events unfolded. we really should stand with our own we send people around the world we expect them to do a particular job we don't throw them under a bus and just because president trump a strain a tantrum it does not mean that we don't stand with him you know when you're faced with a bully you stand up to him and frankly that is the sort of thing that boris johnson really ought to be doing you know when it comes to this president and frankly i don't think this this bodes well for the sort of prime minister that we're likely to get. right let's introduce our guests now in london we have crispin blunt a conservative member of the british parliament in jacksonville florida we have nancy soderberg former deputy national security adviser at the white house and also in london we have matthew paris a columnist for the times newspaper and
9:24 am
a former conservative m.p. and clarke for margaret thatcher at the foreign office all of you so very well placed then to discuss today's issue can i start with you though crispin you are a cricket match in london we're not usually allowed to see you in your sports kit however. how would use what would you say are the main issues that have a risen as a result of this incident. while people are piling into criticized boris johnson without really appreciating. the fact that he is going to be the next prime minister he's the old on favorite to win the conservative leadership election he has a terrific relationship with donald trump in the view of donald trump and of course that's at stake if he engaged in what i might describe as a conventional way with this issue say he's chosen to say nothing in these circumstances and i think that's probably for him the correct response at this moment right so it's very critically taken as axiomatic but there is of course
9:25 am
support for british diplomats around the world absolutely let me put it that a lot of the criticism then that is being a polling out against boris johnson and saying that he's he's that derives he has no has no loyalty to anyone and that he was prepared to throw in this senior diplomat and valuable public servant under the bus but it's because nonsense and it's entirely off opportunistic response from people who are campaigning against him own behalf of jeremy hunt for the leadership down in duncan used that expression i kind of classic colorful alan duncan use of use of use of language but the. truth is he hasn't said anything apart from his were gone for kim dark once he had resigned and everyone appears to be cheerfully ignoring the fact that boris is going to be the prime minister on the 24th of july and he brings the table an
9:26 am
immense asset for the united kingdom and the terms of the personal relationship with donald trump the 2 things that have brought this issue i was is the is the leaf which of course is now on the subject investigation should never have happened profoundly damaging very difficult to see who benefits from this and of course the sensitivity of dollars and the extraordinary way in which he chooses to communicate . dollars from i wasn't done himself any favors by the. way he's responded to this and he's the issue to manage for all the people around him in the white house as well as other countries have got to do business with him right i'm going to try and find the best way to manage this relationship all right let's go to you matthew also in london you're shaking your head i presume therefore you you don't completely agree with crispin i mean there are many who are suggesting that this whole incident is bringing into question the if he was sovereignty of britain sovereignty of britain's independence from its began. in this so-called special
9:27 am
relationship when it does i can't believe i'm hearing crispin blunt saying these things no british foreign secretary that i can imagine before this former foreign secretary would have done anything but stand stalwartly behind him directly you absolutely cannot allow other countries to say who they will and who they won't have as their ambassador this is been an act of appalling insulin rudeness by the president of the united states it's very insulting to the united kingdom and all the pro bracks it people including boris johnson are always talking about how we're going to get away from servitude and vassalage from the european union and then we go proving to the united states just because boris johnson thinks and i doubt whether he's right that he has a special relationship with the president it's it's outrageous absolutely outrageous matthew there are those who pointed out like chrispin that britain post
9:28 am
bret's it is going to be deeply in need of friends and quite frankly whoever is to lead the united kingdom most likely boris johnson that they need to be prepared to make sure that those alliances affirm no matter what well it is certainly true that breaks it is going to put us at the mercy of what friends we have left in the world and that will to some extent include the americans but if we are. how to proceed on the basis of a good deep equal friendship with the united states what we absolutely do not do is . an erratic president to chuck out our own ambassador it isn't it isn't the kind of fame but liberal democratic countries who are allies due to each other right coming to you now nancy in jacksonville florida this cycle special relationship between the united states and the united kingdom has never been one of equals has it has that relationship do you think being damaged by what effectively
9:29 am
many say is the sacking of a of a top british diplomat by the tweets of the u.s. president this has a relationship that has gone through bumps in the past and will in the future but it remains a rock solid we need the the u.k. needs us and i don't see this changing that one iota what's unusual about this is that the president of the united states entered the fray if you remember with wiki leaks we had ambassadors who had to resign ambassador mexico had to resign our investor in libya had to resign but what's unusual about this is the president escalated it to his twitter account and immediately brought it to the fray where the ambassador sir cam had no choice but to resign now. pushed him over the edge but it was inevitable that he would resign normally what would have happened is a state department sort of quietly saying when boris johnson comes to power maybe he could have a new ambassador and then sir kim would be appointed to
9:30 am
a new post johnson can make it up to serkin by appointing him to something important when he takes over presumably at the end of this month but there is no more important diplomatic posts than the ambassador to the united states the having worked there myself the most coveted invitation in washington outside a stay. dinner at the white house is dinner at the ambassador's residence we've all played tennis there we have breakfast there are lines and there's it's a key card in the wheel of diplomacy in washington and it once the investor loses confidence of the white house and particularly with this white house because the state department the rest of the government doesn't speak with authority only president trump does and so you have to have the right circle the minute president to put it he had to have rotated out we all thought it would happen a little bit more gracefully and a little bit longer but that's the world and president trump it changes everything
9:31 am
right interesting coming back to you i'm. peter ricketts the former head of the foreign service of course who called this an act of political sabotage any off the question what does this say about the state of our country i put it to you again that the the whole if you have of of britain's sovereignty and its status in that relationship with the united states is now being thrown into disarray as a consequence of this. so i have a status there are leaks we've had wiki leaks in the past this is being this is a particularly toxic leak it shouldn't have happened radio to see who benefits from this so that's one issue and then that combines with this very unusual and sudden emission erratic insecure president who communicates in this quite extraordinary undisciplined way and he says 2 things that have come together had to create the
9:32 am
circumstance and sikkim dark took the decision that given what president trumpet said about him that him staying on for another 5 months as the ambassador with the full support of the british government probably wasn't going to do anybody any favors and i think he took the correct decision in the white british interest how do i salute him for it ok maybe not a magnificent career a public servant and no one can blame him but that's why he isn't a christian that may run into a pile a not but but for everyone then to pot but then when he wanted for everyone then to pile in on boris johnson in the middle of a leadership election when i think he wisely simply said remember he said nothing he didn't endorse president trump's view he didn't then immediately investing heavily in sikkim dart was any difficulty with the president he has already established in trump's would a very good relationship with the next president of the with the president of the
9:33 am
united states as the next prime minister the united kingdom and he just i think rather wisely chose in these circumstances not so very publicly engage right i think he made to the right choice but other people who have who have other reasons are not an accident or a drawing to a made the wrong choice let our other 2 guests come in i know that but i think this is not if you want to say now if he has to you then to man you nancy what did you have to say. by not saying anything he clearly was not endorsing one of britain's finest diplomats and i think it's important that that's why you have the rockets and i think that's a fair criticism but the bigger issue here is that the special relationship is going to be just fine and the what happened is that. kim said what everyone in washington is saying talking to all the other diplomats in washington they've all written back exactly the same thing so the bigger question is does this hamper how a diplomat can do his job he has to be able to give unvarnished assessments no
9:34 am
one's questioning the assessment by the way. and the fact that it's now leaked it's important to find out who leaked it why and make sure that we can stem that hemorrhage because no diplomat can do their job if they're at risk of this and every other ambassador in washington with the exception of the iranians and the chinese are saying exactly the same thing maybe not the saudis and this is a fine diplomat former national security adviser doing his job and i really hope that the next pm will find a good job for him going on which is what he wants serves this is unfair to him and that matthew is merely the latest in a long series of rather uncomfortable moments under the trump presidency with the government of the united kingdom he's blown hot and cold it would appear with regard to theresa may and her handling of the breakfast process for instance. yes the house where he'll always blow hot and cold that's the president today boris blows hot and cold virus has been in stream li insulting about president trunk but
9:35 am
quite a long time ago what would worry me i take nancy's point that this could have been should have been quietly done and just without too much fuss it all the fuss that there would be over the coming in of a new prime minister we could have had a new ambassador in washington but what would that ambassador have gone to washington thinking thinking that unless he displays almost craven ration for the president of the united states he's going to incur this president's displeasure and go in the same way as his predecessor has and basters have to feel that they are free privately and this was done privately to give governments the unvarnished truth and this is an issue of principle on which as i say any foreign secretary i think would have stood up for secure him and boris didn't write and coming back to you then crispin this does pose serious questions then about britain of the future
9:36 am
under a bush johnson premiership and as to how he's going to conduct his relationship how he's going to manage president trump you've already suggested that they get on rather well but president trump has intervened hasn't he in the entire debate clearly preferring boris johnson as a candidate to lead the country but it's going to be a tricky relationship isn't it for him to manage. well any relationship with donald trump is a tricky relationship whoever is managing it because he. does blow hot and go live a relationship however warm little time to be the time you never know when they might they might turn as indeed to reason may has found out she's leaving office he's then being extremely rude about her conduct of the brakes at negotiations a criticism i would share i might add but not very policy for the president united states to say however we have
9:37 am
a very impolitic president the united states that that's the problem but the principle problem for the united kingdom is the confidentiality of our communications it's the leak from those communications that is the issue here for us that's there the practical problem we face going to find out who leaked this and why and how it was allowed to get into the public domain because we will not get counted reporting from our posts overseas if they believe if they're remotely interesting or even simply repeat as this did what was pretty entirely a common understanding of the management of the trumpet ministration in a diplomatic telegram if that isn't going to be spread over the front pages of the newspapers in the way that this was that's that's the problem i see boris johnson is not really the issue their issue here is a very unconventional and impolitic president and the great task leader of confidential information right and nancy how is this that reverberating in the united states but if it in washington circles and beyond.
9:38 am
well 1st i'll just let me add one point about bars johnson assuming he is going to be the next prime minister i think he's got a huge challenge in managing president trump i do think they have a good relationship right now and he can use that until he doesn't and president trump has no loyalty and the minute he has an issue with force he will turn on him equally quickly so he has to kind of walk on eggshells embassador will follow borsch anson's lead the new one but in washington i think no one's worried about the special relationship most of us who've been at the senior levels in washington have spent a lot of time at the u.k. ambassador's residence that will continue i think what they're more concerned about is what does this do to chill the ability to have frank conversations in washington i think you'll have less in writing more on secure lines going back and it will chill the ability of diplomats across washington this probably will not be the last
9:39 am
leak it's important to find out who did it but again the special relationship is strong and vibrant and this president is incredibly difficult to manage and the diplomatic corps will continue has written about that will continue to write about that perhaps in more secure communications but i do not envy boris johnson's trying to manage the relationship with this very volatile president on the end now but my prediction is that probably won't last i'm matthew i suppose one of the maids description ised 1st actions of some presuming he does become the next prime minister of the u.k. will be who he chooses to appoint to this very important position as britain's ambassador to washington he will be scrutinized. for every kind of nuance in terms of the appointment. oh yes yes unless i've missed something in the last
9:40 am
hour or 2 then we shouldn't rule out the possibility that the present prime minister theresa may in her dying days so to speak well herself appoint a new ambassador she she she could do that david cameron appointed our own bastard to france in the last days of his prime ministership but if it is boris well everybody knows that nigel farage would actually like to be bastard to the united states however much he professes that he wouldn't i do hope barr is wouldn't do anything as stupid as that i just threw in one thought i heard they had of the foreign office tell members of parliament that this leak couldn't have come from the americans because he said we do not spy on each other i certainly hope that's not true i would be very surprised if the americans had no capability to intercept british telegram traffic and donald trump himself has an interest in the upsetting of overthrowing an ousting of this this ambassador right and christian coming back
9:41 am
to you with that point then because whoever whoever did whoever was behind this leak must have had had some sort of political motive a political game plan and what sort of game plan do you think it was it was i mean this was these were cables that were from 227 teens are quite old and then they were released to a well known newspaper supporting the bretts it process. well that's some guts of course the device important question and one that is most difficult to answer because the only had 5 months left the so so why would if it was the americans who were the source of some people. don't trump wild us would they do it to take all at risk for such little reward in terms of getting a new appointment. in the circumstances. but if that happened so i can that doesn't
9:42 am
make too much sense and that's the question everyone's trying to work out is. who gains by this it's really a disaster. i think it's highly unlikely a serious handicap condren future reporting but right nancy yeah it's it's highly unlikely this came from the united states we don't spy on each other that's been a longstanding relationship issue and i am not in the government right now but i would be shocked if that had changed and i think this is clearly some somewhere within a system but trying to decide who leaked things is a parlor game in washington that always fails and till there's a real investigation it's never who you really think it is and we have the leak in valerie plame cia identity and everyone thought it was someone in the white house turns out it was richard armitage in the state department and i think will be surprised in the end of who in the u.k. system did this it could have been another government as well there are other
9:43 am
governments certainly do spy on the u.k. but not the u.s. so we will certainly find out i believe who was the leaker here and that will hopefully be the end of it they'll be able to stem that leak and plug it but it will provide a chill throughout the diplomatic corps and there isn't a diplomat in washington right now that isn't saying i had who could possibly leak our maybe our communications maybe i shouldn't put that in writing i'll just pick up the line on the secure phone which tend to be actually fairly secure and i think it. chil the work of washington but the bigger challenge here i think isn't the leak so much as what is the u.k.'s role in post brags that world will they actually have breaks in our present trump has told theresa may and has been tweeting about it that he told 3 some a how to exit and get a deal for the brags that he didn't listen to or that's her problem he's going to give the same advice to boris johnson now is not a given that boris johnson will bring about effective exit from brags that the
9:44 am
minute he doesn't do that it's clear that he's failed on that trump will have the same relationship with him there. right now they've got the same wild hair the same brash personality but in my horse doesn't deliver on bracks which president fully supports he's going to lose his confidence and where is his plan how's it going to be different than teresa mayes to me that's the question before the british people and frankly it's of deep concern to the united states right to have a do over iraq well and i'm right about it larry we're running out of how it works handles that is the key question sorry to jump in that sea but we are running out of time i'd like to get to find a way to matthew because of course the british public generally will have no say in who becomes the next prime minister or if the u.k. but we're getting an idea oh we of what. some premiership will knock like give us your ideas your take on that within 40 seconds if you can matthew. yes i think

he'll be buffeted in all directions i don't think he'll be brave i don't think he'll have a very clear idea where he wants to go or what he wants to do and the last person to speak to him or but likely to be the most powerful person in the in the united kingdom if he has buckled so quickly on this court else could he not back alone right ok thank you very much indeed crispin blunt it is cricket gear talking to us from london nancy said about talking to us from jacksonville florida and matthew parris also talking to us from london thank you all very much indeed for a really interesting conversation and as ever thank you for watching you can see the program again anytime live by going to the web site out jazeera dot com should you want more discussion you can go to our facebook page facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and there's always a twitter sphere as you well know our handle is at a.j. inside story i'm at our team dennis for me and the whole team here in doha by her man.
