5:00 am
this is al-jazeera. iowa from doha i'm hella my hits in with the al-jazeera news are coming up in the next 60 minutes. providing protection in the u.k. calls for a european led force in the gulf following iran seizure of a british like tanker. the trump administration announces it will finance track deportations of undocumented migrants. kenya's finance minister is arrested on corruption charges linked to the construction of 2 dams. protesters keep up the pressure on forestry cause governor despite his pledge to leave office
5:01 am
next year. and portuguese football star christiana rinaldo will not face charges over allegations that he raped a woman in las vegas 10 years ago. the u.k. is calling for a stronger western military presence in the gulf as the standoff with iran over captured oil tanker continues ek foreign secretary jeremy hans wants a european led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the straits of hormuz that's where iran sees the british fired or oil tanker at the center of the storm claiming it was violating international maritime law the u.k. is calling it an act of state's piracy well of rockets hoping that it can lower tensions between iran and the west regardless the stand off will be
5:02 am
a priority for the incoming british prime minister this week widely said to be boris johnson. i think it is very important for voters johnson ask here and. 10 downing street who understand that iran does not seek confrontation iran wants to have normal relations based on mutual respect lawrence lee has more now from london this emergency couldn't have come as a worse time for the u.k. and the ministers who left the crisis meeting all know it's apart from anything else they'll be a new prime minister this week probably with a different take on the situation. still the u.k. can do nothing in the face of what it regards as a provocation by iran the way in which the capture of the u.k. flight tanker was filmed by the commandos who took control of its refusal to obey the demands of the british frigates in the strait of hormuz to let the time to go
5:03 am
all cut very deep at the heart of the british military establishment used to the days when britannia ruled the waves and consequently the foreign secretary told parliament minister the u.k. would seek a european led maritime missions of the gulf states because iran had to understand the consequences of its actions if iran continues on this dangerous path they must accept the price will be a larger western military presence in the waters along the coastline not because we wish to increase tensions but simply because freedom of navigation is a principle which and its allies will always defend what the british government has been widely accused by many m.p.'s of having no bigger strategy over this crisis with iran let alone the naval fire to protect tankers in the gulf now there are concerns that this administration has taken its eye off the ball and certainly that the u.k. has been ill prepared for this iran certainly appears not to feel intimidated by the u.k.
5:04 am
putting out images of the tanker crew none of them british maintaining they're all in good health and being looked after it is far more concerned about getting his own tanker back from gibraltar where it remains impounded if the u.k. did that the crisis would be over but it would be the wrong signal to send to the americans who continue to pressurise london to follow their harsha line with tehran by wednesday they'll be a new prime minister here by thursday a new set of government ministers and by friday very possibly a new strategy towards iran may be a more hawkish one than the one on monday and one which is more aligned to the american position but iran knows that the u.k. appears quite weak at the moment and by itself does not have the strength for a fight lawrence lee al-jazeera in london. iran says it's a arrested 7 seen spies working for the cia and sense and some of them to death us president donald trump called the announcement totally false washington is waging
5:05 am
a campaign of sanctions aimed at forcing iran to renegotiate the 2050 nuclear deal one of the best things i've done is terminate that ridiculous deal if they want to make a deal it's frankly it's getting harder for me to want to make a deal with the run because they behave very badly they're saying bad things and i'll tell you it could go either way very easily very easily and i'm ok either way it goes. the u.s. government says it will allow immigration officers to deport undocumented migrants from anywhere in america without allowing them to appear before a judge previously the fast track procedure only applied to those detained within 160 kilometers of the border who had been in the u.s. for less than 2 weeks the president or trying to struggle to deal with overcrowded detention facilities at the border with mexico ants the growing humanitarian crisis in jordan has more now from washington d.c. . this change in u.s.
5:06 am
deportation policy is just the trumpet ministrations latest effort to crack down on what it says is an immigration crisis primarily from central and south america the plan would change the authority that immigration officers have to immediately deport those persons who are in the country without the proper documentation as of right now they can only deal with people who have been inside the united states for fewer than 14 days and who are found within 100 miles of the u.s. border this plan if it does take effect on tuesday would cover the entire united states and the people who could be affected may have been in the country as long as up to 2 years immigrations rights groups say that as many as 300000 people could find themselves being targeted for this immediate deportation plan and they say that they are planning to file lawsuits to keep it from taking effect these groups
5:07 am
saying they're worried that people who have permanent residency or who are u.s. citizens may find themselves being kicked out of the united states without legal recourse and something that would be a violation of their rights these groups further saying that this latest effort to crack down on what the trumpet ministration calls illegal immigration would be another way to enable racial profiling particularly in immigrant communities in the country heartland while people are merino as a journalist on the list and joins us now on skype from los angeles thanks so much for talking to us here on al-jazeera could you just start with your reaction to these proposed changes to this immigration policy. trouble ministration have you me a doing this for a couple of years and when they 1st talk about it in 2017 the lawyers and the
5:08 am
activists say this will be a vast increase in the number of the potentially forte sions if they implement essentially what they're going to do is allow individual agents to act as judges and to judge people with all that mistake that kind of court when that happens because immigration agents are net capable sometimes of differentiating between someone who doesn't have their papers with them for example. or someone with a citizen it's been with same cases where there's been serious mistakes so this is just another step in the chopper ministrations effort to report more and more people and all of that. of trying to present trump himself to cater to his base who is. essentially wanting him to act on immigration stronger more stronger and stronger and stronger every. day i think this policy. terrence j. i think this is perhaps why it's being perceived that the the capabilities of such
5:09 am
a change. you know there's no right to you know i've been covering the patient for 30 years to know that there's no that tearing someone who needs to go we need to go or leave their country needs to come because they don't have a job or because they're being. their lives have been threatened or because their family cannot survive there's not a tearing people like that and we're talking about immigrants who believing here in the united states and not people who are entering the country now these are people who have been here potentially for a long time so what we see again is the possibility of separating families who have legal rights and citizens among them and to separate them out from the individuals in that family who haven't been able to put together the paperwork because remember it's been 40 years since we had the last almost 35 years since we
5:10 am
had the last amnesty let's say that have been able to legalize people who were irregular in the subject so a lot of people who do not have papers have been living here for a long long. what do you think of the possible consequences of this change in the law. well. fear bask in these in the fear in the communities in the new gun communities in the united states will be the number one thing because they may not be able to deport people as i think they want to but they and you know now seeing the is there telling them about community already that agents have the ability to just grab them out. and without you send in them would you. send them back to work so you know i think that's going to be the main the main reality but on the other hand i know they've already said it there's going to be lawsuits
5:11 am
immediate who knows if they're going to be. ok people america have to leave it there but thanks very much indeed for your thoughts who are are joining us live from los angeles. at the trumpet med a station has been leaning hard sell on mexico to stop central american migrants making their way to the u.s. washington says it's happy with mexico's efforts so far their top diplomat suggests meets another 45 days to evaluate progress but its critics afford the crackdown carefully so human rights abuses and will repel reports from mexico city. over the past 45 days mexican authorities have stepped up a crackdown on migrants through an increase in immigration officers and the deployment of 1000 national guards troops to mexico's northern and southern borders . on average more than a 1000 migrants are now being apprehended in mexican territory every day so you
5:12 am
notice and notice a point that mexican foreign minister marcello abroad has consistently repeated. display of the deployment of national guard troops as well as our enforcement of existing migratory law have led to a 36.2 percent reduction in the flow of migrants. by showing the trump administration that immigration numbers are down mexico hopes to meet the conditions of a july 22nd deadline on a deal that removed tariff threats on mexican exports to the us look i spoke to mr broder just before i came here we talked about the progress we've made on migration with them to. the trade good word out there 404045. they've made real progress but this is what the strategy of cracking down on migrants the deployment of military forces and detention of asylum seekers in southern mexico have also sparked concern among human rights groups immigration experts warn all of this contradicts mexico's own it national policies which promised to guarantee the
5:13 am
rights of asylum seekers here mexico is sandwiched between 2 contradicting expectations logically this creates a complicated problem because you can't please one party without upsetting the other and in any containment measures for migrants there is a chance that human rights abuses that negatively affect migrants will occur having met the conditions set by the us in reducing migrant numbers mexico has also avoided the so-called safe 3rd country negotiations the country has been avoiding as part of the agreement with the us mexico plans to continue the current strategy for another 45 days while also calling on the us to invest in a more sustainable approach which includes a development plan for the countries migrants who flee mexico committed $30000000.00 toward development projects in el salvador last month but without a strategic international development plan that includes countries like guatemala and honduras were a majority of migrants originate experts warn that a policy of containment alone will not be enough to solve the migrant crisis went

up in low and mexico city. most of venezuela be implanted into darkness after a major blackout the government says opponents sabotage the paris station opposition leader $1.00 is blaming the government for failing to invest in the national power grid. given that how does it affect me in every way i live on the 11th floor i don't have electricity i don't have water because without electricity it can't be pumped i can buy anything with a debit card i don't have any cash. i'm hungry and i want to eat but there's nowhere to swipe my card because none of the machines work with the financial crisis i can't even buy a hotdog with cash. ok as finance minister has been arrested on charges of fraud and corruption and we would see just the 1st sitting government minister to face such charges so were his alleged role in awarding contracts and payments for the construction of hydroelectric dams catherine sawyer reports from some guru in

central kenya. this is hendrik teach filmed at a previous meeting he has now been arrested accused of corruption in a scandal where he say 2 of authorized payments for the construction of dams in western kenya where construction work has been began 4 years after commissioning. that the guise of cutting or collegiate to make commercial construction colossal amounts and justifiably to be. paid out through a well choreographed scheme by government offices in collusion with private individuals and institutions. upon receiving and reviewing the evidence i'm satisfied this official evidence to charge and prosecute the property the director of public prosecutions has ordered for their arrest of $28.00 people including employees of the italian company that was awarded the contract investigators say the costs were inflated by
5:16 am
a $117000000.00 and raffia quarter of the total money has already been paid out. this is a high of a not the only public scandal in recent he has other multibillion corruption scandals in government have prompted protests like this one in the past several government officials have ongoing cases in court i think at the end of the day worth noting he needs to up and is going for the d.p.p. go the extra mile and we did this yeah i better leave it to you to use to ensure that the program was just arrested for ceremonial purposes there are people arrested taken through the process that convicted and were serving time by us. they still go back to being. that the taxpayer i mean the most high profile arrest of a government official in many states a close ally of both the president and deputy president president has over the years said fighting corruption is one of his main priorities he wants to leave this
5:17 am

5:20 am
demand a new governor but also better government i mean here because i want to fight corruption in my country it's been many years that people have suffered the consequences of corruption and it's time that the young generation stands up its we cannot say like oh no we're scared of the future like my parents and some people are afraid of change and it's normal that we have to tell the government that they have to have a social commitment. with health and education thousands of people shut down the main highway through the city but the road ahead purported ricoh now more uncertain than ever. san juan. 7 government air strikes have killed at least 54 civilians and. the syrian government's back spy russia really launched their offensive to capture the last major rebel held territory in april

a european led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the strait of hormuz it's a response to iran seizure of a british flights all time last week the u.s. government says it will allow immigration officers to deport undocumented immigrants from wherever they find them about requiring them to appear before a judge 1st and kenya's finance minister has been arrested on corruption charges federal teaches the 1st serving government minister to be arrested for fraud he denies the accusations. well let's return to our top story the seizure of the british like time care in the strait of hormuz we've heard lots about the implications of the seizure but what about the men on board sports finds out i'm joined from one shill by jason so idema he is an executive director at the north american maritime ministry association thank you very much for speaking to us on out 0 now you've met the men in question what more can you tell us about them
5:31 am
or to be clear i personally haven't met in in our association we have around north america things called seafarer centers when the seafarers come the they come and visit them and this particular ship had visited one of our seafarers centers down in houston just a few months ago and certainly they were a typical crew and they wanted to get off enjoy life they have a long hard week weeks of work and so when they when they visited houston they were happy to have shore leave and certainly no this is a terrible time for them i've i'm sure it must be in there the the crew of the ship there are folks here from many different countries but they aren't british per se do you think this has impacted the reaction from the u.k. governments. i don't presume to speak one way or the other i think that's a that's an open open question certainly though it's something to know that they do
5:32 am
come from from different countries i believe there's 4 different countries among the over 20 crew and these are hard hard working men they're they're there to make a living just to do to do their job on board ship and this was no doubt very traumatic for them to be caught up in this certainly they weren't expecting it none of these crews and many many ships are expecting it so it was very it was and probably is very traumatic for them how come would you say this is for foreign nationals to work on ships with your flags on different countries and we say this kid represents a safety issue for the crazy because we don't really know his response of all for the welfare. this is the lifeblood of shipping around the world right now most most ships are flagged in different countries and crude and out of other countries there are some of the largest flags
5:33 am
are flags like panama or marshall islands or or other other flags like that and the these are all very high quality flags they have they're very rigorous in their in their safety and and how they're operated and i think this is this was. a real shame and it's a real tragedy for the crew but also then for the family their families back home ok jason thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and for joining us from montreal in canada. donald trump has offered to mediate between india and pakistan over the conflict in kashmir the us president has been holding talks with pakistan later in one can at the white house trump also said america could restore military aid to pakistan i canna reports from washington. the pakistan prime minister arrived in sweltering summer heat is prime aim to thaw what has been a chilly relationship with the united states and president donald trump in particular in the past trump has accused pakistan of not doing enough to crack down
5:34 am
on terror groups but in recent months islamabad has been active in securing face to face talks between the u.s. and taliban leaders and president trump is now apparently willing to set differences with pakistan aside in the hope that it can secure a safe withdrawal for u.s. forces from afghanistan i have no plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win the war afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the year it would be gun it would be over in literally in 10 days and i don't want to do that i don't want to go that route there's no military solution of us though those going to the solution because those mr president says if you go all over the military there will be millions and millions of people who would die as the leaders apparently also saw common ground in their relationships with the media in a way way way uses no the way you treated worse than a. surprise offer to from president trump to mediate in the kashmir dispute this he
5:35 am
says at the urging of the indian prime minister but a spokesman for india's ministry of external affairs quickly rejected the offer from the white house the warmth of the meeting indicated the leaders had come a long way since the trolley twitter exchange that occurred shortly after iran can became prime minister last year and of great importance to the pakistani prime minister was president trumps. formal acknowledgment of the critical role that pakistan has played in advancing u.s. interest in afghanistan. the decision to renew u.s. military assistance to pakistan is still on hold but president trump made clear it's a possibility. that's likely the 1st matter on the agenda in talks between military leaders of the 2 countries taking place at the pentagon and the pakistan delegation may well feel optimistic about returning to islamabad with tangible benefits from

manila an effigy of the terror t. was burned and thousands of filipinos took to the streets in protest they say deter to speech is just a rehash of violent rhetoric has often used against his critics they say instead of talking he should listen to what we also see is a doctrine of preemptive surrender in our foreign policy in which this strategy of this government apparently is to give him whenever possible don't find. the dirtiest perceived capitulation to china despite acts of aggression in the south china sea and his so-called war on drugs are the top major issues that dominate today's protests people here tell us the president is unfit to govern and they want him to resign the state of the nation address is meant to be

5:40 am
are a lot of extreme weather events which are exactly what the scientists told us was going to happen so that we're starting to see is governments politicians at least paying attention but they're not translating that into really aggressive enough action to stop the problem getting worse several things that can be done 1st of all i think you've got to keep people and forests apart so where it's appropriate as for instance of that great griefs thing you don't let regulated developers take place in vulnerable forest areas you also need to make sure that your emergency services are properly funded and that means basing the for the budgets not on what used to happen because we've changed the baseline so the problem is they're going to need much bigger budgets than they've got now because this problem is going to get worse. he leaves or is expected to be announced on tuesday they'll take over from to reason may he's had a bumpy ride as prime minister for failing to deliver bracks sits and leader
