end up with out a new start treaty as well we go into a nuclear arms race like we saw in the 1960 s. only more expensive and more dangerous the pentagon has announced it will begin flight tests of new intermediate range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles by the end of this year and it's requested funding to develop new missile systems that previously would have been prohibited under the eye enough treaty kimberly helped get al-jazeera the white house. is the russian deputy ambassador to the u.n. he says washington's move could have dire consequences. we deplore it very much we were trying to avoid it. we were trying to do but actually americans made up their minds a long time ago and it was not possible for anybody to stop them it's

a very deplorable step to have. a very. small so it's coming on the news hour including how hong kong is bracing for new protests in defiance of government mornings. and the floods are receding but the threat for millions is rising we'll have the latest from bangladesh. one of my teammates speaks out on the brazilians desire to quit the french league details coming up a little bit later. conflicts around the world last year killed or maimed a record number of children and it's a new report the united nations says 1800 children were killed or seriously injured in syria mainly from pro-government and strikes including the use of barrel bombs and cluster munitions attacks on schools and medical facilities but the highest since the 8 year war began in syria and elsewhere children continued to be

recruited as soldiers more than 2000 in somalia where hundreds of cases of sexual violence were reported and 65 percent of all child abductions worldwide happened in that country mike hanna has more now from the u.n. in new york. the report is now under discussion in the security council and the secretary general has already expressed his deep disappointment at the terrible figures illustrated in the report the rise in the multi talent of children in places around the globe indicating that previous reports have had no impact whatsoever in terms of reducing the level of risk to children this is what the secretary general's special representative as just told the security council. into india 18 very fide cases of children killed and maimed to reached record levels since the creation of the m a m i echo the think at the dinner is concerned that unprinted in the numbers of our relations with attributed to national and international forces it is vital that this council redoubles it if wants to ensure

that all parties abide by the principles of this think proportionality and military necessity the major point of debate of the 2 annexes to the report list a and list b. the so-called list of shame now list a contains parties and countries that have taken no action to reduce the risk to children and are responsible for such acts let's be and nominates countries or parties that have taken some form of action in a bid to improve their record but what is significant and what many have pointed out is that within the body of the report and large number of parties are listed as being responsible for every gate in children's rights including the u.s. led coalition in afghanistan the afghan national army yet these bodies are not listed in either of the a dead end to the report equally with israel it is specified a number of abrogation of the children's rights however it does not feature in

either of the lists at the end of the report the saudi led coalition in yemen features in list to be for the 3rd year in a row human rights watch contends for example that if the grid remains on this list for 3 years without moving then it is not doing anything to reduce the issue so human rights watch to contends that these disparities within the report itself undermine the recipe of details and facts that are critically important libya's interior minister has ordered the closure of 3 migrant detention centers after criticism from the un never conditions to facilities are in the coastal cities of misrata and kwame's the 3rd isn't a jew or a suburb of the capital tripoli forces loyal to the warlord anything have to hit that facility in an airstrike a month ago killing at least 52 migrants the un has backed the decision to close the centers. which we are calling on now he's for an orderly release

for refugees in detention centers to urban settings and we stand ready to provide to provide these people with assistance through our urban programs asylum seekers and refugees should not be kept in detention we absolutely oppose any idea of detaining children. in whether they are refugees or asylum seekers or migrant when i talk to terry got gars he's a spokesman for the office of the united nations high commissioner for refugees in libya he joins us via skype from tunis tariq the u.n.h.c.r. had previously called for these detention centers in libya to be closed so what's your response now that the libyan government has announced that because in at least some of these centers yes all units here has long been paid for the closure of all the tension sensors in libya and we are following closely on this initiative of

shutting down 3 of this detention centers including that the tension center that had been hit by an airstrike early last year last month or even 50 all dead and more than one juror then 30 injured so right now we have we have. been following up with the government so try to understand them well that it is not there really is this. really is an asylum seekers and was generally to assist. conditional to the respect of human rights and also their safety and protection ok so you're not calling for all these detention centers in libya to be closed but what happens then to the migrants and refugees who end up in libya either by land or sea where do they go from here. well we have been calling all sort of beach at least on the return of refugees and migrants you know a while intercepted a risk you don't see because we have several times said the t.v. it's not safe for us for. refugees and migrants we have

a back which isn't program in place in libya and since this program started the late 2017 we have evacuated out of libya more than a quarter 1000 refugees out of harm's way so we have several programs were in place also an urgent program to assist refugees that are leaving the urban setting and as a state which can really to us says ok. if this if we confirmed all the attention centers are being lost and the refuse orderly. and a top official from your agency says that illegal activities like people smuggling trafficking forced labor that these things take place in these migrant centers but the closure of the sentence won't stop migrants face exactly the same issues that will lay. i mean there are widespread reports of 2 of us really treatments that have been going on several that pension centers not only not official the bench and since there are. more likely are not assured of the front and center and smartly in

houses so all this money houses definitely need to be dismantled and the rule of law needs to be applied by the authorities tracked down the traffickers and the responsible for this regard in the. bench and centers as i said we are monitoring we will be assistant to the authorities in this relieves will be providing assistance for the rich people right now we've got questions for in urban settings and we will also be assisting the authorities condition in the mission that the. virus he in their safety and their protection in the urbanization tarik just it's just it just hurt not just a final point to you because we're slightly running out of time in the meantime though a number of detention centers in libya remain open so what's your agency doing on the ground to help migrants and refugees still held in vo sentance. so we have units yet has access to the official detention centers we are appalled so that

don't look repeatedly there are refugees are fleeing already from a persecution of from war and they are here for seeking protection international protection safety and should not therefore be tane but we don't provide them with the lifesaving assistance in detention centers because they simply need to be lots of them to provide them with protection with relief items and with life saving humanitarian assistance there are at a time a car goes in the us thank you very much indeed for talking to us thank you very much and in france people have been protesting against what they say is their government's support for the war not only for have to are they've been demonstrating in front of the french parliament in paris after launch an offensive in april to take the libyan capital tripoli from the un recognized government of the prime minister fires are still raw the fighting has killed more than a 1000 people and forced tens of thousands from their homes. found signs of civil

to. hi daryn yes that's right this is because johnson's ruling conservative party has now lost a by election in wales cutting his working majority in parliament to just one seat in a fiercely contested vote where bracks it was the dominant issue the pro e.u. liberal democrats took the brecon and radnich a seat off the conservatives or a challenge reports dream dodds is duly elected member of parliament for the said constituency was the announcement was made in an echo we haul in mid wales but this result will be heard very clearly in london the liberal democrats have taken this seat of brecken and ravisher from the ruling conservative party there whittles boris johnson's parliamentary majority down to just one m.p. the new leaders pre-vote visit to wales wasn't enough to prevent the chances of a government collapse going up barely 9 days since he took over as prime minister

this is why this by election was so significant because we're looking at general election very shortly and it really shows some of the key factors that are going to be at play in that in that election i was surgeon were made a vote under the liberal democrats and also breaks apart if you can term with. the liberal democrats newest m.p. was clear about what she thinks this results means. and here we stand. thursday was john says. in the 1st week it was premonition and here we are thank you very loud. well our lives are not just. will not tolerate a new rights but somebody says do you want to know deal breaks it and although nigel farage is breaks it party didn't perform quite as well as they might have hoped with 10 percent of the vote they still arguably cost the conservative m.p. his seat by splitting the pro briggs's vote although local issues are often

important for by election results this one could also be seen as another example of outbreaks it is rewriting the balance of britain's political system with supports for smaller parties like the lib dems and the bracks it party on the rise at the expense of the big 2 labor and the conservatives when parliament returns from recess at the beginning of september it will have less than 2 months till breaks it day and boris johnson the man who said he will deliver it come what may is clinging on to power by his fingertips chalons al-jazeera london and all the stories are following protests in moscow judy continued for the 3rd saturday in a row despite authorities mounting an ever larger crackdown at a saturday's protest key figures have been arrested and there's concern that more mass arrests are expected on the day our correspondent in iran contacts a look now at why people are coming out on the streets away from the iconic sites

japan's decision is a reckless decision that projects diplomatic efforts to solve the problem and rather worsen the situation i express my deep regret he was responding to the latest escalation in the trade dispute with japan removing south korea from the so-called white list of countries allowed to receive exports of sensitive strategic components that it needs for its high tech manufacturing. it comes on top of restrictions last month on the export of raw materials for the production of semiconductors in south korea with fears of a knock on effect to manufacturing in neighboring countries. japan denies it's linked to a decade's old dispute over its wartime record. deal this move was approved to revise japan's export controls appropriately and was not intended to hurt japan south korea relations or to craft counter measures japan has been angered by
