year many as $150.00 refugees the migrants of feared have drowned off the coast of libya. israeli soldiers have fired tear gas at palestinians protesting the demolition of homes in occupy the east jerusalem group's held friday prayers why the homeless were homes owned by palestinian families were destroyed on monday houses or on land controlled by the palestinian authority from matheson as more. just a few moments ago the prayers here in what we call most ended and the violence began it started when a group of palestinian protesters had also been holding prayers further up the hill started to make their way down carrying palestinian flags the group on this side of the fence which is the occupied east jerusalem side of the fence started to make their way towards the fence as well in order to try to me. the opposing group in the middle as the security forces came down in the trenches to stop the 3

protesters from throwing rocks and stones into the road a number of rocks began to increase we saw some tear gas being fired further up the hill the whole process took place the demolitions has been improved all kids have since monday since the houses here in what he homes were destroyed by the israeli military and there has been a tremendous concern that what have up until now being peaceful protests against these demolitions is going to turn into a situation like this. now the rise in prescription drug costs in the u.s. is sending diabetics across the border into canada to buy medication a hearing is currently underway in washington d.c. to examine the devastating impact the cost is having on patients the so-called insulin caravans are designed to draw attention to their financial burden while

correspondent daniel followed one of the groups into kind of. activist quinn nystrom shares the good news with fellow u.s. diabetics a drug that they need to survive is available at the local wal-mart store for less than a 10th of what they pay in the united states their caravan crossed 3 u.s. states to make a purchase i decided to bring this today because this kind of shows like my every day like the diabetes look site and this is kind of basically one or 2 months like survival for me also along for the ride nicole smith holt who doesn't have the disease but she's here for a very special and personal reason i am part of the caravan in memory of my son alex smith who passed away on june 27th of 2017 from diabetic ketoacidosis as a result of rationing because he cannot afford it. the group came to canada to buy

cheaper insulin but mostly this is a gesture aimed at u.s. political leaders in the pharmaceutical industry insulin prices are so high that one in 4 diabetics in the u.s. has to ration the insulin they can afford putting their lives in danger and. we need a long term solution to this this isn't isn't the solution this isn't the fix to what's going on in america but if it's temporary prices for life saving drugs in canada are regulated by a government appointed body organizers of the caravan say that should happen in the us too we are from a developed country. we are from a great country but we are not taking care of our cities after buying their lifesaving drugs the diabetics from the united states will come to the home of frederick banting 1928 came up with the idea that lead to man made insulin. banting sold the patent for insulin for a dollar intending it never be used to earn a profit but that hasn't happened and diabetics from the united states say it's

time to honor the wishes of the man who helped make sure they could survive a disease that used to be a death sentence daniel lak al jazeera london ontario. a white house correspondent kimberly how joins us now live from washington d.c. and kimberly have to say from the outside to his stories like we heard there in the report of alex smith. dying basically because he didn't have enough money to buy russian properly his insulin it's sounds so such a basic issue and yet it's so politically complicated right. yeah it really is politically complicated but those stories are not rare in fact just the opposite it's not just diabetic drugs like insulin it's epi pens for people who go into an aflac to shock as much drugs americans pay some of the highest prices for scription drugs in the world if not the highest some $129000000000.00 spent on prescription drugs in 2016 the numbers the latest year

that we have there's a hearing on capitol hill taking place right now because this is really from the standpoint of both republicans and democrats become a crisis the problem is as you point out is that there are 2 very different schools of thought one liberal one conservative on how to resolve this issue from a democratic standpoint it is to bring in socialized medicine like you see in canada in order to bring those prices down to be negotiating them on the part of the government with the drug companies conservatives in the united states say that will squash innovation so what is needed is to reform the patent system to make sure that they cannot be exploited and profited upon as is the case right now by the drug companies now in the midst of all of this well congress who hasn't been able to agree on a lot in recent years tries to tackle this the white house is saying look at work considering an executive order which is something that certainly is the government

intervention the republicans say they don't want so this republican president is a bit surprising would be considering a sweeping executive order but that's exactly what's happening you got to ask yourself why would the white house be considering this considering it is kind of counter to conservative principles 2 things very quickly number one there's an america 1st donald trump policy in all of this he feels like right now americans are paying for that research and development at the expense of the other come countries rather around the world benefiting from this well other nations have governments that negotiate all of this to control the prices that reese. searchin development fee is being passed on to the american consumer in other words global free loading is what the trucks called it the other reason that the white house may be considering this is donald trump made a campaign promise in 2016 to try and lower drug prices he's not yet been able to deliver this with the congress that's why it's looking an executive order all right thanks so much kimberly how can that i hate waiver sent temperatures soaring across

europe breaking records from france to the netherlands and the un's world meteorological organization is concerned the empath of europe's heat wave could affect greenland scientists warn of record melting of the world's 2nd largest ice sheet the forecasts indicate atmospheric flow will push the heat towards the world's 2nd largest ice sheet which is essential to the global climate system and in hans its melting will this will then cause sea levels to rise and weather to become unstable already in this month alone greenland has lost the ice equivalent of $64000000.00 olympic sized swimming pools in surface melting alone ruth mottram is a climate scientists at the denmark meterological institute she says a clear link can be drawn between climate change and the increasing rates of ice melt in the arctic. we know that the arctic is warm so much more than the rest of

the world we have a process is called out to have that occasion so that climate change is felt much more strongly in the arctic than it is here even in europe right now and so when we get these big melting events happening they tend to be more extreme than they were in the past at the moment we're not where very close to our record melts yet 2012 we're getting very close to matching that frank now we won't really know until the end of this month or even mid august which one has been the highest amount but that's what we're looking at right now it's probably fair to say that we will not know until we've passed if it's irreversible or not there have been a lot of studies looking at how much climate change we have and and still keep the ice sheet and it's important to remember that the ice sheet will still take hundreds if not thousands of years to melt completely doesn't go overnight. but there is a lot of work now indicating that one and a half or 2 degrees might be the sort of temperature global temperature threshold

beyond which we cannot keep greenland ice sheet frozen. now the destruction of the amazon forest is fast approaching a level from which it may not be able to recover that's according to satellite data from brazil's government already this month more than 1300 square kilometers of rainforest has been cleared for large scale farming and last year 120000 square kilometers were wiped out president jones was so narrow has placed the government's environmental agency under the agricultural ministry and critics say he's expanding land clearance and logging a furred of all pristine rainforest in brazil it's been cut down more bond that includes lands where tribes of people have cared for the forests for centuries scientists say the amazon could now become a savannah all of this could also impact brazil's trade agreement with the european

prayers that was almost where homes owned by palestinian families were destroyed by monday. it's the stream now stay with us. the faceoffs continue. and the most 20 democratic presidential candidates take to the stage for the 2nd u.s. democratic debate. join us for coverage from detroit on july 30th and 35 on al-jazeera. hundreds of residents of poor cape town neighborhoods have lost loved ones in tit for tat gang attacks now they're seeing all the troops on the streets on sunday ok i'm really could be allowed say we'll ask whether a military operation in one of south africa's biggest cities can help bring lasting peace to communities blighted by violence send us your thoughts through twitter and

you tube. police in cape town has struggled to reach a deadly gang violence in parts of the city known as cape flats as an area that has been hunting black brown south africans since the apartheid era the situation in the flats is now so bad the soldiers in armored cars are on patrol to help restore order the units of the south african national defense force began rolling into 10 precincts on july 18th as part of a 3 month deployment called operation prosper it's hoped that the army's presence will give overworked police breathing space to investigate crimes but detectives have an overwhelming caseload 43 people were murdered across cape flats in the weekend preceeding the deployment here's what residents said as soldiers rolled in . but really. they are you. and i want to thank the government will make good this isn't really the because on me the

children people starting every day on. this new thing that is if. you. find another place to be. too much. to reach. for more in this situation we are joined from cape town sponsored from st by henrietta abrams she is a community and social justice activist for her home it is them in mom and community activists who joins us from cape town's manenberg precinct from amsterdam we have the under thurman she is a visiting for bright scholars who has studied policing in cape town and albert fritz is the minister of community safety in western cape's province so government he's in cape town hello everybody it is good to have you here. i want to start with

some video al-jazeera been covering the situation in cape flats for some while now this is for me as she got some mobile video of residents who were living in different precincts in cape flats and they were in their homes busy in their neighborhoods taking pictures and videos of what was happening around that area so how look at this video i want you to tell me how accurate it is is this every day occurrence is let's take a look together. i mean if you follow the links or express such. however this looks like the mafia and i don't want people to think this is evident

in cape flats and los angeles is that. yes that's part of one part of town and this in the little correctly pointed out really city of 2 terms because came precincts you have that kind of balance and stop that all of the time but it's a lot of time and that's really the reason why we've actually a preacher to call for the army to come and to be deployed in those dances and the reason for that is that the thought the police didn't just don't just have any capability and resources to control the kind of violence that was a rampant i mean we had the cult the totals 427000 was more than 4000 people that was there to the 18 exceeded another 4000 this year we were under route of going to that but i'm happy to say since the deployment and some good even

the start of policing interventions there was a reduction to the last 2 weakens that came right out the $25.00 got pretty far but still a lot but $25.00 is far less than $55.00 that the tool to weakens of so i think it's an important point to say that very clearly policing and community relationships with the police was completely lacking and i think that's one of the reasons why we have that compounded by economic real real social economic issues in those communities you know unemployment is rampant and therefore that's a very interesting cause or was it occurred to me i want to one and you really want to us people to come to cape town and really promote cape town because that to it is a really contribution to job creation for those very people on the other side and where we have people visiting the less we can actually give this kind of violence so to be destroyed. but i think. people you know

could go like in. london. you know of course it's interesting that you mentioned several things there and i like the point that you ended on which is it's putting this in context because we have people already in the you tube chat who are watching live now saying this looks like my own hometown of chicago this looks like other places in the world but it's that reason seeing the fear and hearing those screams that we're seeing tweets like this this is who says maybe the military is the best solution and that's what's needed to bring order because these criminal gangs they don't fear of police i am in support of military intervention on the other hand though adding a little nuance to this conversation is someone who says the army are not meant to fight crime they are meant for war if the police and other special forces can't handle such cases then what are they being paid for its time africa grows up they write how long will the army be on the street and what will the work of the police

be so i'll give this one to you the army clearly this person doesn't think it's the right group to come in the police should be doing this work. i am dealing with that person so for me we have been on this it's more ching and protesting for years for 54678 years we've been watching and we've been our government local government the interim government the national government to do something about it what we must understand is that. we've we going through systemic violence we going through the sort of violence and government in all its entirety has never done anything we've been asking for years for the to do a deployment offered us also a store of e.d.s. e.d.s. are working for us it is that you mean another province to take it easy as those from from well the source areas or at least that lets them. also people in about

the working class it is that's that's living in abject poverty so we don't have jobs that i really as it's now we don't have jobs we don't have opportunities we we we are what we are unemployed with not really a chance so our people and our children are already with threats not national government not in missy's that's government was our provincial government have been putting resources it's good yes the army is you know and i did not agree with the army coming in but i've given up so in the meantime the army can give us a job. of the army cannot give us all the counseling the army had a you know has that legalization since all of these things so they're not as a whole needed in as it really. so as i and i hear you night you're outside of south africa right now i just got to jump in and asked a man because he's in manama one of the precincts actually if you've got the army

right there in what difference does it make it might help. yeah i just wanted to mention that we understand what the viewers are saying that the army is not brain for these types of policing but what do you do as a community you know at the should this but asian people as being hoping that perhaps the military might might bring a solution we are. pushing lucian we need solutions like i mentioned early on that this war on the conflicts so low intensity a war that's been spiking then it comes down in spikes again so this only out there should this but asian communities come together and going to this region mosque the parliament because it seems like government has been taking defeat and for so many years it's not the you know it's not 2 years ago people have been calling for the army out to see this but asian we understand the fact that the army is not going to do this but we were hoping that the military might like us it could bring about

change because our people you've heard the young men saying earlier it doesn't feel well you doesn't want to you want to get out of the place we grew up it's not safe we mean we want to take this family out we love our places on the complex this good people under complaints we can contribute to the development of this country but people are not given a chance to do so say and to go ahead and they want to jump and i just want to get the view from inside one of the precincts where the army allegedly booking around i had a bad. i absolutely agree with with henrietta i mean i think the really difficult situation here is that you know the military will be there for certain amount of time for about 3 months if i'm not mistaken but what will happen after those 3 months the same police were overwhelmed right now are going to be overwhelmed in 3 months. there's been very little done to start off to resource to pay to

train police officers in exactly what needs to be done to solve this problem long term and so i'm not saying that nothing should be done right now i'm saying that there must be there must be a longer term solution because we have seen the military before in manenberg in 201540 limited operations and they're being deployed again 4 years later to the exact same area so we are really struggling with with a situation of there not being a long term plan and and as the man says you know people are calling for the military out of desperation this shouldn't be a desperate situation we know that there's that there is enough political will to solve this problem long term it's just not being applied then there's someone on twitter who is on the exact same wavelength of you so this is khadija and i'll give this to you alberta couple tweets here so it could be just as the deployment of military forces where there should have been a more responsive police service has not helped anyone deployments are temporary they lack oversight and often lead to greater feelings of discomfort in our

community from picking up on the temporary part about but someone else writes in opposition to that almost simply to the size i believe that the military will be able to root out the rough elements back up the police forces and the heavily armed areas and act as a deterrent then crime intelligence and the gang unit can continue from there so this person has the idea that the military is there to back up police and then the benchley police will be able to have the resources enough to do the work themselves that peaceable. so the one point we've always been so was that in fact we all infer impotence we know when we think. we also we need stabilization and i think. really what to do is also we need stabilization and they do get intelligence driven really think we're probably think ability where you know it's ok for people to abuse or where oh no what i'm saying is we all of what agree with.

is that we was then look at the car bombing development in those areas we must look at the listen good alternative to listen and get. into. the. other i'm just going to jump in here because i'm losing you a little be our last skype connection but we will reconnect with he said we can hear you clearly and yet i remember suddenly you said that the authorities are doing nothing they're doing nothing to help that is a bold statement maybe what they're doing is not effective for instance where for me to miller who's from al-jazeera went to put on a fashionista looking at some of the initiatives to stop gang activity have a look at this and then i'd love to have your thoughts about it 8 months ago the government set up the anti gang unit whose work is to root out gangs guns and drugs

it conducts daily raids searching the homes of known drug dealers and drug dens while the unit is made hundreds of arrests the city of cape town says there are nearly not enough officers special operations like this haven't stopped gang violence on the cape flats according to government statistics the number of murders has increased this weekend alone 43 people were murdered more than half of them by gunshot. henrietta that was about 11 days ago so not that long ago maybe the measures just aren't working. ok what happened last year we were in this and we demanded for specialized. 2 to be deployed and then we got you so the agent used for doing their work and some of our communities as well and in love with you but being what you fall in because of politics in this province for

instance you had politics among you split busy in the south politics between the local government or the provincial government and national government as was competences that was competence so we've put into didn't want people head to head on the 1st of april. of all time based a.g.u. place in our area and because of the politics it could be they didn't give us the buy it so so they playing they playing games without people's lives these politicians and we are tired of losing up people that other thing that needs to happen so we have the police that is under the source but at the same time the police and the if and the intelligence services and the justice system is not working properly with one another they are not working and in love they are not we need gang courts if if a gangster or criminal is being taken they're part of this underground or organized crime they need to be taken to we're going court we the good the prosecutors the judges the magistrates the detectives everybody need to work anymore ground so that

they deal. it with these terminals and that they deal with the in hushed me and the out of our communities but not the a.g.u. or out of these forces company yes these people do days later you find the same kind of and it's their communities in taking out what this is that once things have got to me just say for our benefit not only to the ag use the anti gang units make it a hit so we have this from victor from here and victor says the problem is that the military seems to focus on the laid low gangs the dangerous times far early mornings where thugs rob people to work and. evenings when they are going from work on those critical times you don't see the military in cape flats and reading this tweet as an outsider it almost seems unimaginable and unimaginably difficult to talk to us about every day life that people like this like victor here are saying it's dangerous to go to work and to come home. if that is the lity of the

life of people in cape town you know people you're not safe with you're going to work with your kids if you're going to work you want it if your kids are going to be safe you need to check can continuously be on the lookout be on social media to check of this any updates as they've been in a shooting reported so this is this is the reality that people live in and i agree with. when she mentioned that we need to look at if it means that we need to change the laws of this country we need all government departments to come together our people use is a we of the political game that our political parties are playing with our lives and we never they do something with the implemented something they want their names to be added and they want they want to point for you know to go next to their party names so our people are sick and tired of the political parties we want the

president to step in we are only going to tell you you know that the government is serious when the president steps in if the president forms a dos team a corrosive it is government departments education out in safety the videos department and correctional services we even if it means that we need to look at the viewing of our criminal justice system you know. whither we are going to look at the punishment that's being out to criminals look at the conviction that. we need a little sick approach we need an all hands on big approach from government in order to win this fight or to do a pretty effectively have change all between the condition that the people in the complex phone ourselves in so our album in a month that there's a historical context that would be remiss of me if i didn't bring up it's obvious to your south africans but the cape flats area the people who many people who live

there now were removed from where they used to live in the party area and then they were just dumped in that area economically they are still suffering obviously we've seen the pictures of the gang violence this is really important i don't people around the world not understand this al but. yes there will be quickly also say so that he started is this and we're moving on from that well because people were kicked out of dyslexics and kept on clothing to a community called in the book or one of the beginning areas but i want to say to the imagery and to to and in the little most important people we have the production 100 young what is called safety of a community safety of network of you know young men deployed since the 1st of july there wasn't one killing in that place you know in town so i think it's important to look at the to the in my book is having a product a committee where all those departments are in and moving into the hotspots to go

in exactly provide those services in a proactive way getting young people on to what we call the chrysalis youth development program and i'll tell you when they get out of the they go into all it is even iraq is. now let's allow allen and now a member of allow the answer to have a conversation with him and i have. to be honest with you a minister albert the reality is if the political part is about 2 or 3 months ago we had the election campaigns if all the political parties could only give 20 percent of the time energy and resources that they put into the election campaigns if they can achieve that energy into the crisis that we're facing and the cape let them believe me we can have a solution with in 2 or 3 years but political parties you know unfortunately they want to they wanted the they want that point a lot they aren't living. bubs we must get a political party to go

a group and solve the problem. and i think that's what it is what we want to see right now i have a question about i have a question about why an intervention like the one that you mention in the sea has taken so long if the da for example has been calling for the military since 2011 why is an intervention like the one that you mention only happening now this is this is not something that's come up in the in the last couple of years it's been through years of neglect from everyone it is not just one thing that you blame it is everyone across the board i know times in france not praiseworthy weakness in the run of the problems with this government in the laws that we never publicized but i could tell you we have really good place in those problems young people have access to amazing opportunity at those you've got friends we have i mean the ground loop in things if you work by our social workers doing through more counseling in every community it will not be

a real problem that she will slide i mean what our father asked why aren't we well yeah we are yoakum are going up but not batting so i want to tell you i'm going to jump in here because i'll bring my hear your point that there are youth cafes and work is being done to engage the youth and react to i want your thoughts with this video pam and i want to play because someone from our community her name is charity marring she's a ph d. candidate in public law in capetown and she says that's exactly the idea we need but there's not enough money being given to that so have a listen to what she told us. also cost the country about 24000000 rand which could be used in to add the resources and religious the needs that young people have in these communities so my research found that one people joining these gangs because of a lack of appreciation c.s. and that it could schoolin not good role models and broken families and if that truly flowing in could be seen to have it and integrates response to addressing the

needs that these young people have it would create even more for them to be resilient to the pool with gangs. so i think how did you think that there would have this problem is lack of opportunities. it is lack of opportunities and it is also continued up our great special larry it is also continued up our then in we we not enough that he sources or very little resources are being thrown into our into our working class across the that's so what you have is that the majority of the budgets are being spent on drawing tourists into the city it is being spent in the leafy suburbs and we are on the cape lead now working on the list all the same as it used to be before 9094 and that is a real living in a lab out of the city in which you can only offer that it's so for me a numbers on holds politicians that is a must see for the next number and this is due to the politicians that's the end of

dollars if it's loading up we're going to make an argument that i'm still spinning the budget then the is no money then they tell us it is it is saying that there's no money we had that supposedly what skeer that that there. are to it and they took it all 1000000 that was supposed to be spent and i'll see big deal for instance. and they looked at what the what and they made billions but those were little and i wondered a little to 5 i'd like to know why why do you have good young adults. so i guess i'm going on at all just just to take a pause final thought for a moment because we we here hear how not everybody is on the same page as to how you solve a major issue about communities personal safety we funk you albert in mom henrietta and also sigh and for giving us a very candid inside into what is happening cape flats in cape town in south africa

a heart is report to stabbing their images that have shocked many tragedies like this are happening nearly every day in northwest syria where the government's assault is it's 3 o'clock so. desperately trying to save his daughters as they dangled from the edge of a building destroyed in the syrian or russian airstrike the 5 year old we have held on to her 3 year old sister drove one for as long as she could. but then they fell to the ground i died. readline is struggling for life in hospital. the high number of people killed and injured here particularly children reflects the scale of the humanitarian situation war monitors say there have been at least 800 civilian deaths 200 of them children since the russian backed syrian government offensive began in april in the past months at least 33 children were killed according to save the children that's more

than in the whole of 2018. they are linked targeted and most of all the places they live in that are being hit marketplace is hospitals not the facility is schools no one and nothing it is the thing more and then. these scenes have become all too familiar rescue workers at times dig for hours to find survivors and remove the dead civilian infrastructure schools hospitals. and help the syrians are protected under international humanitarian law they're meant to be spared and yet they're being impacted more than anything else so there has to be outrage. the latest offensive is no different from previous ones during the 8 year war they are carried out with impunity and little accountability . the pope sent a letter to syria's president bashar assad asking him to protect the lives of

civilians the european union says attacks on critical civilian infrastructure must stop the united states and the u.k. renewed calls for a cease fire an adlib but the international community statements have not been backed with action. the book that hasn't stopped it's intensifying the u.n. describes what is unfolding in islam as a worsening nightmare for the civilians are not players of this conflict but international humanitarian rights organizations see they are being targeted. istanbul for the past 10 days have been particularly violent in the southern countryside of india province in that period the united nations says at least 103 civilians have been killed in air strikes of those deaths 26 were children the un blames the syrian government and its russian ally schools hospitals markets and businesses have been the targets and the un adds with the frequency of the attacks

it's unlikely they were hit by accident it's estimated that 400000 syrians were displaced in just the past 3 months to europe now where a severe heatwave has been made worse by travel holdups a power failure at paris's god do not want station cause the cancellation of trips to and from london where flights have also been delayed eurostar has warned passengers not to travel unless it's essential well the u.n. world meteorological organization says it's worried that europe's heat wave is now headed for greenland the forecasts indicate atmospheric flow will push the heat towards the world's 2nd largest ice sheet which is essential to the global climate system and then cause record melting this will then cause sea levels to rise even further and the weather to become even more unstable already this month greenland has lost the ice equivalent of $64000000.00 lympics sized swimming pools in surface melts alone well earlier we spoke to ruth mottram who's

a climate scientist at the danish meterological institute and she says a clear link can be drawn between climate change and the increasing rates of ice melt in the arctic. we know that the arctic is warm so much more than the rest of the world we have processes called out to counter the patient so that climate change is felt much more strongly in the arctic than it is here even in europe right now and so when we get these big melt events happening they tend to be more extreme than they were in the past at the moment we're not where very close to our wreck or to melt year 2012 we're getting very close to matching that front now we won't really know till the end of this month or even mid august which one has been the highest motive but that's what we're looking at right now it's probably fair to say that we will not know until we've passed if it's irreversible or not there have been a lot of studies looking at how much climate change we have and and still keep the

ice sheet and it's important to remember that the ice sheet will still take hundreds if not thousands of years to melt completely doesn't go overnight. but there is a lot of work now indicating that one and a half or 2 degrees might be the sort of temperature global temperature threshold beyond which we cannot keep greenland ice sheet frozen. or there's plenty more ahead here on this news hour including trying to clear the air what one of africa's west polluters is doing to combat climate change. for now from the demolition of homes in occupied east jerusalem now tear gas is fired at palestinian protesters. and score to premier league football a survive an unexpected attack and he will be here with that story. now the u.n. is demanding an immediate action after the west mediterranean tragedy so far this

year 40 bodies have been pulled from the water and as many as $150.00 refugees and migrants are feared to have drowned off the coast of libya around $300.00 people were on board true boats that left the town of homs east of the capital tripoli. anderson pat reports. of put her children on a wooden boat she was trying to make it to europe by any means possible instead the journey became the worst tragedy this year in the mediterranean sea nearly 150 passengers were rescued by local fishermen her son wasn't one of them she's blaming international organizations for a lack of support among the invisible i lost my 7 year old child i don't want anything now except to go back to my country sudan to die there. survivors were returned to libya a primary departure point for people fleeing poverty and war in africa and the middle east one person drowns in the mediterranean for every 6 that successfully reach europe's shores we've now had more than 700 deaths on the mediterranean this

year if current trends for this year continue but will see us past more than 1000 deaths on the mediterranean for the 6th year in a row it's a really bleak milestone really bad is thinking about it comes just weeks after more than 50 people lost their lives in a detention center following an asse strike into giora and really once again stresses the edge and see if it was needed of a need for a shift in approach to the situation in libya in the mediterranean. libya's coast guard continues to take migrants to 2 jura the detention center holding mostly african migrants that was bombed 3 weeks ago by air forces believed to be loyal to the warlord khalifa haftar it's near the front line of fighting as have to are tries to take the capital the u.n. says the current model which is backed by the e.u. must change one where libya's coast guard intercepts and forcibly returns people

caught trying to cross the sea. there's a conflict going on in my years and become a pawn in this game there used to make money for people who are you going to see you next. servitude in effect a little harsh is not a happy situation. truly away from her valuables rescue people are simply not the way to go the u.n. refugee agency estimates that 6000 other refugees and migrants are being held in libyan detention centers even though they haven't committed a crime yet they remain highly at risk of getting caught in the conflict or dying at sea and schapelle al-jazeera let's go on trial top story now the violence in syria report colleville is the spokesperson for the united nations high commissioner for human rights and he joins me now live from geneva richard let me start by asking you about the places that are being targeted is a civilian areas and given how persistent the bombing is you and the u.n.

believe this could be deliberate yes i mean just in the past 10 days alone we know of 10 different locations that have been hit by a strike some of them. more than once several times over 10 places where they've been civilian casualties that in other strikes where they've been haven't been casualties these tend the strikes are along a 2 main routes the m 4 and the m 5 in. there are essentially civilian areas civilians really have nowhere to go and bombs are falling in market squares in bakeries and so on and repeat i know that your agency is using the phrase war crimes is the prosecution of this likely or even possible. well over the past 8 years of course a huge amount of evidence has been collected by war crimes in syria and that's ongoing process as an international inquiry on server on syria and they continue to

gather information as do we as do many others. and yes i mean if you're intentionally targeting civilian areas that's a war crime and i know the commission even despite all of the publicity that these astronauts is getting now she's concerned that this is falling off the international red out why do you think that is. well you know it is getting some attention and certainly you're highlighting it on this program but the tension span is shorter and shorter. and it's taken you know many days this campaign's they to scam pain in syria has been going on for 3 months so it's really taken a lot of casualties a lot of really horrendous scenes like the ones you were showing earlier to bring any attention and this is not like it was you know in the 1st few years in the syria crisis people really were paying attention and it was constantly in the news there was a lot of an international political engagement and so on.
