very unlikely to work because the supreme court has signaled in making this decision that they are likely to to side with the administration on the merits of the case so this was all about whether or not initial use of the funds could be authorized with the trouble in ministration was insisting they have the right to do and i think plaintiffs in this case were well within their rights to say what is the irreparable harm that the government is showing would occur from holding the stay of execution of the lower courts they just have to wait a little bit longer now the government was claiming that if we don't appropriate the funds now we'll lose the right to use those funds and justice briar was suggesting well you can sign all the contracts but just wait to begin construction that was a very reasonable compromise position there and in terms of the politics play i mean the democrats claim the president trumps decision to declare an emergency

exceeded his powers under the u.s. constitution but despite the political opposition the supreme court has still backed him so what happens to the checks and balances then to regulate the president's so-called emergency powers well you're exactly right down because the issue is number one whether or not there was a real emergency down on the border and does the president have the power to declare a fake emergency and also does the president have the power to override congress' decision because congress traditionally is understood as having the power of the purse namely the power to decide what funds are appropriated and have it once decided that it would not appropriate funds to build the border while the trump administration has managed to appropriate funds anyway and that doesn't end run around congress cliff in this time thank you very much indeed for your time thanks for having me. time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back what lies ahead for puerto

ricans after they forced their governor to step down. the high cost of sending diabetics in the us across the border into canada to buy drugs we traveled with one of the so-called incident are about more that stay with us. hello there it is a fairly settled weather pattern across much of the united states and also pushing up into much of canada quite a bit of cloud in the house this is actually linked to a line of range. of the east winds and also pushing for the south would say today are all the wet day into drawn so not cold though 27 degrees celsius meanwhile across in new york 28 on the sunny skies warmest in washington d.c. with a high of 32 and also a warm day saturday out into l.a. with a high of 30 degrees celsius you can see the chance. out across western regions and

territory and gallacher al-jazeera san juan puerto rico. 6 people have died in earthquakes in the philippines northern islands 2 quakes with magnitudes of 5.4 and 5.9 struck the baton is on them is in the new zone straight as the body of water that separates the philippines and taiwan the philippines disaster agency says 8 people injured. un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings agnes kalama has appealed to bahrain's government to stop the execution of 2 men. were convicted last year in a series of terrorism offenses amnesty international and other rights groups say the trials were grossly unset and the men were tortured and forced to sign concessions while blindfolded and mariam as a bahraini human rights activist the bullies the government's taking its cues from washington for. these 2 young men who are in their early twenty's were both sentence that death during

a match trial in general 2018 both of them were subjected to severe torture which included electric shocks at the pulling out of 20 miles. prolonged solitary confinement as well as before sent confessions while blindfolded and these confessions that were extracted under torture were then used as quote unquote evidence in court against them some of them to a to death when when he was visited by his family today at midnight he told his family that he never harmed anyone and while he was the one who was harmed he was the one who was tortured and he is not also said to be executed there are many more asking why now why why are these executions being carried out now and i don't think it's a coincidence that the signal to execute these 2 young men came one day after the united states announced that they were going to start federal executions again which of course you know the politics in the gulf you know that the gulf states always feel like they need

a green light to commit the violations that they commit from their allies in the west and therefore if the united states is going to continue it's going to start committing federal executions again then the bahamian government feels like they have the green light to do the same. now a decades long conflict in man modern involving the northernmost region of kitchen is forcing more people from their homes a seesaw between government forces on the kitchen independence on the end back in 2011 and since then the increase displacement unemployment and instability has led many families to take grave measures and that's put more women that risk of being trafficked to china mama john june reports for. along me in mars border with china in this camp for the internally displaced the stories are full of sorrow. as singer hour works she contemplates the desperate choices she's been forced to make how work dried up when the 17 year old ceasefire between me and more government forces in the kitchen independence army broke down in 2011 how being unable to

support her family let's sing route to a decision that still rocks her with guilt he has had now the ga and my daughter was still young i didn't want her to get married at 1st but the chinese family said they would take care of her well my relatives they greed she should have a better life so i made the decision for my daughter to marry a chinese men. the groom promised to pay almost $7000.00 to sing rao but ended up paying only around half of that saying raus daughter who were not identifying for her safety eventually returned home. on kilauea as handle my friends keep asking me how it was to marry and live in china was it fun why are you happy i told them it wasn't fun and that i'm not happy i was very sad and disappointed to get married. the escalation of hostilities in kitchen state has resulted in a huge increase in the number of displaced many people who used to cross into china

to earn a living as day laborers can no longer do so saying come who works with the kitchen women's association says that makes the situation more dire for the internally displaced. and that a growing number of families are now forcing their daughters into marriage i won't i i think many of the parents want their daughters to marry a chinese man because they thought they would have a better life in china they thought the chinese government would take care of china's citizens perry well for some there is a darker side to finding a new life away from the kitchen and out of me and more. according to human rights watch traffickers are increasingly preying on the despair of women who feel they have no choice but to seek work across the border this woman who are also not identifying for her safety was trafficked to china hong kong on my last i suffered i lived in terrible conditions they were abusing me with sexual violence i do want to sleep with them but i was forced i begged them to let me go but he was not

listed in and he raped me on to became pregnant. human rights watch says another reason the situation is worsening is because for every year since 1907 the percentage of women in china has fallen a gender imbalance that is leaving many chinese men without wives and one that will lead more traffickers to try and take advantage of an already vulnerable populations ever increasing desperation homage and doom and disease. europe has been sweltering through its 2nd heat wave of the summer and professional data shows the u.k. may have experienced as hottest day ever on thursday a provisional temperature of 38.7 degrees celsius was recorded in the city of cambridge if confirmed by the national weather service that would be the u.k.'s highest temperature on record germany france belgium and the netherlands also experienced record breaking temperatures this week. well in france hundreds of hectares of fields caught fire due to the intense heat wave several firemen were

hurt. well that the heat now appears to be moving towards greenland where the u.n. has warned it could cause record levels of ice melt greenland's ice sheet covers 80 percent of the island's territory and is the 2nd largest in the world but it's been losing ice at an accelerating pace the ice loss in 2012 was 4 times the rate in 2003 and there are fears that this summer's heat could break that record the extent of the milton june has been 4 times the average between 181 and 2010 this month alone its last 160000000000 tons of ice to surface melting that's roughly 64000000 lympics sized swimming pools so why should we worry when the total volume of the ice sheet is 2900000 cubic kilometers if it were that eventually melts it will raise global sea levels by 7 meters devastating most of the world's coastal cities where ruth mottram has a climate scientist at the denmark major logical 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 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 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 wreck or to melt year 2012 we're getting very close to matching that right 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 it 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 rising cost of prescription drugs is forcing many americans in need of long term treatment to cross into canada to buy medicines which cheaper those traveling in the so-called incident caravans hoping to draw attention to their financial burden our correspondent daniel lak followed one of them. and. 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 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 scare of an in memory of my son alex smith who passed away on june 27th of 2017 from diabetic ketoacidosis as a result of rationing is 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 fixes 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 citizens after buying their lifesaving drugs the diabetics from the united states will come to the home of frederick banting 1920 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. part of the headlines here on al-jazeera the un's human rights chief has condemned what she calls international indifference to the rising death toll in syria's rebel held in the province michelle bachelet says those targeting civilians should be charged with war crimes in the past 10 days more than a 100 civilians have been killed in

a strike in southern. well we're definitely seeing a military escalation in general but particularly from the government forces and their allies over the past 3 months or so and just in the past 2 weeks i would say it's escalated even further with daily attacks and multiple attacks daily i mean over and what we were talking about this morning we were hearing of more as strikes last night and some early today as well so it's ongoing it's relentless and the people suffering most of all i'm not the fighters al-jazeera has obtained a copy of a draft u.n. report on child casualties in conflict zones saudi arabia's been criticized for its role in yemen but the report says it's trying to reduce casualties israel has been left off the black list despite killing $59.00 palestinian children last year syria and south sudan have also been highlighted for concern the un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings agnes calma as appealed to bahrain's government to stop the

in south korea dog days has been on the menu for the centuries with around $2000000.00 dogs each and every year there are about i made as long and it takes a while and i just write our own root beer cans and i did a lot of bagging cool c.n.n. see a little. bit strip government regulations kind of growing animal rights movement was talking down on industry look at that look at that. but i would. like to think 1110. dollars they never let it down and we think younger generation saying dogs more as pets than food demand is declining by the leveling or explosives it all

while the devil and a lot of the from the belong to god. on this episode of 1018 we investigate the fawaz between those who love dogs and bugs who love to hate them. and. guarding them in downtown seoul is a place where nutrients like in the chip pit dogs with poultry and it's like eating it all. it's me in the summer and for some it's the best time to eat the traditional dish the pork nonphysical. dog meat soup. in korea it's called top. official of the just incredible beauty of the fact that this all formed by women but i guess all the good it has in life if you can that has been the pinout long run you know the union felt good in that

all things. dog meat was purported to have a variety of health benefits. not good on the limb of a 1000000 to the past 6 months. i was out here today and yes i was going. to the to get the whole you don't know me on monday or what about a one on one visit and just. cannot get killed to kill it in my. one saying i'm overly. boy. these dinah's are aware of careers reputation as a nation of dog into this but a growing number of koreans are finding this notion hard to swallow. these days 70 percent of koreans say they don't eat dog. and growing numbers are engaging into rick battle against the dog meat industry. like activist.

desperate to save dogs from slaughter. so when he hears about a struggling dog farm he steps in. draw you tube or somebody in the can all day and the. top atomic energy bodies will 1000000000 that had only the headlines on 3 new. candle don't come on i was told no but i was upset with all. of the good all. the body could make it out of here or most years ago in order to google or to the bumps on some of the pedals on. at 1st the family went without cameras inside. i've walked in and out a couple of times what i can tell you is that there is rats maybe everywhere flies . and a lot of unhappy dogs. the family finally gets me and once i agree not to

identify him. it's easy to see this family's business is on the streets. each it is your life like. here noted for the good you do. for. this place like many small farms can't afford to meet strict government regulations around racing dogs. these farms are being forced to close. what they want the job of an illusion of they're going to get it and then. so he's feeding the dogs which. i'm taking to see the courageous about 60 meters long and it's actually run through 3456 that's him i just. did dogs in cages with living ones.

it's obvious this guy can no longer look after his dogs. but he's not prepared to give them up into. the long. run. you. know whether i get. the look on this and. torture you know. who wants to risk you a few dogs immediately but the family is wary and he's holding out for at least some cash before he hands him a dog. is going to have to raise the funds and come back another day. and then they're. going to do. well activists like

gina and a growing number of koreans are trying to stamp out the dog meat industry the president of the meat. eating meat is a part of the heritage. of the public from. the follow government regulations. he says business is booming. we're told on. you go and then i thought oh my god are you quite out of the book we're going in that i'm running around my. room i'm going to return on the hope of. in the road well some got my money's on the moon. leaving my medical tent and i thought it was. just shifting the. president kim jong so introduces me to pharma kim jong il who grants me rare access

a wide river of dog poop i start to get an idea of the scale of the spawn. maybe oh this is fairly new just dying yeah. but there's one thing i can't film and that's the dogs this is as close as i'm allowed this does that healthy and nice why can't we film them even ironically one of them so good it will stand out that it will get to a head on a new thing when they don't have to go through his article because. this is apparently a showcase for. but the korean parliament may soon vote on legislation that would make dog meat illegal so the farmers are understandably a bit touchy about how we'll patrol what's going on inside. thanks for showing me of. some of it anyway.

traveling to. the area with so many farms it's not just don't vally. activists who do manage to negotiate the release of dogs from farms to places like that's. just like our dogs yeah. dogs. yeah. he lives. they were all. drawn in paul. you know i personally cannot save all the dogs.
