washington d.c. . president trump is now facing a unprecedented degree of pushback from members of his own party people who normally have been staunchly supporting him members of congress like senator mitt romney who was the republican presidential nominee in 2012 and who spoke on the floor of the senate saying that trump's decision to abandon the kurdish forces that had fought alongside the u.s. forces in northern syria amounted to a blood stain on the annals of american history senator mitch mcconnell the leader of the senate and an extremely important political figure in the united states and a scathing article for the washington post saying that trump's decision in syria had emboldened the assad regime and its allies iran had allowed russia to expand its influence in the greater middle east and risk reconstituting and reviving

i sold the so-called islamic state mcconnell saying that in some trump's decisions create a strategic nightmare for the united states and other republicans are very alarmed over the recent disclosures by the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney that there was in fact a quid pro quo proposed by the president with the ukrainian president in that famous phone call that has now become the focus of an impeachment inquiry in the house of representatives well veiny tried to walk it back but a lot of people are really very impressed by those efforts now whether the erosion of support among leading republicans in washington will continue depends largely on trump's behavior there are some cracks that appear to be showing in the facade at least here in the among the ranks of fishel republicans in washington. the president of honduras has been linked to his brother's conviction for drug

by the terms of the 5 day cease fire so the headlines keep it here on al-jazeera more news to come talk to al-jazeera this next. al jazeera. where ever you. see. one of humanity's most important accomplishments of the last century that's how the international committee of the red cross sees the geneva conventions the organizations work is based on that treaty signed in 1949 over the past 70 years that set the international legal standards for the humane treatment of prisoners of war and civilians during times

of conflict it allows the red cross to provide its services to those who are engaged in conflict the i.c.r.c. is an independent neutral organization that works to ensure humanitarian protections and assistance with victims of war it also takes action in response to emergencies and promotes respect for international law but with the scale of this centrist conflicts all over the world and the increasing fact of influence how does the i.c.r.c. make sure the geneva conventions of followed the president of the international committee of the red cross p tamara talks to al-jazeera. president of the international committee of the red cross thank you for talking to al-jazeera you are parts of the red cross movement the oldest humanitarian network in the world you work all over the world i think it's fair to say that if your

workload is heavy the grim reality that means a lot of misery and hardship for people in conflict zones around the world give us an i. do you right now of the state of the world and of your work well and you would never ask this question to the president of i.c.r.c. to get the bright view of the world was a record of our mandate remains to the system protect people exposed to war and violence and of course this is a big concern and has been a growing concern over the last couple of years the fact that our budget has doubled within a couple of years only that we are in an increasing number of conflicts deeply engaged the fact that we see in the creasing fragmented landscape of actors in conflicts from west africa to east africa from the middle east to afghanistan this of course illustrates that there are challenges off. looking at mitigating the

impact of war and violence on people challenges to the respect of international humanitarian law so a difficult period certainly in the seems to us that these braids. the impossibility at the present moment the big powers to move to a consensus on how we really talk to settle and to influence the settlement positively on some of the biggest conflicts in the world your organization closer very unique role in the international system because you're a humanitarian organization but you're also the guardian something which when everyone's heard of the geneva conventions it's a very complicated subject but give us the potted version of the geneva conventions what are they and how important are they i think since the 1st geneva convention in the 19th century at the end of today it is all about preserving humanity in

war how military operations should be conducive what minimal respect and rules to respect it's about protecting the protection of civilians it's about the nonuse of illegal weapons these are norms which are in shrine in the geneva conventions of 1949 which we celebrated 70 years in the versity but which go farther back in history and which are rooted in many societies and histories worldwide people think of things in history like prisoner war camps and world war 2 and the rules of war that you have in place in the geneva conventions but. he said he want to bang the now when you look at some of these conflicts particularly in the middle east well a lot of actors in today's conflict theorists do respect or do we know about the laws and i think kids sometimes at this store to view this body or floor ways are

only here to be violated in the present circumstances of course nobody can discard the stark reality that the geneva conventions are violated by a lot of parties in today's conflicts but let's look at some of those specific conflicts and let's start with what the u.n. says is the worst humanitarian disaster in the world and that's the situation in yemen the war there has been going on for a long time but the saudi air campaign started 4 and a half years ago they seem to consistently be hitting civilians in that case do you believe the geneva conventions are being broke. while the pattern of implementation of the geneva convention in a context like yemen is of course a big challenge and we see violations. continuing we also see big efforts from all the believe tour ends to engage with us and to improve so that it is the glass half full have empty there are obviously challenges

and many of the impacts that we see which make yemen as you rightly say as one of the worst humanitarian crisis is at the present moment is of course a direct consequences of the fact that international humanitarian law is not respected but on the other hand how can we also highlight and demonstrate that there are credible efforts to improve these efforts i think exist in the kind of engagements that we have in a context like yemen has there been any consideration of changing your way of working and perhaps being more public and starting to name and shame some of those who are responsible for breaking the conventions that you are the guardian of it is important that we are explicit on patterns of violations when it comes to specificity we are still very reluctant and we see value in not

attributing necessarily in the public space before having made all the efforts to do it in the private space we see value in keeping that privileged relationship of diplomatic engagement for the respect of international humanitarian law i hear what you say but i do want to bring up a specific case just as an example the recent case when a detention center just weeks ago was bombed in yemen and well over 100 people were killed now i know you're not the answer about that specific case but under the geneva conventions is it a war crime. to bomb a detention center or prison we have expressed public indignation but we haven't that. the exact legal of reading in the public space that's an issue of conversations with belligerence and you have to be careful international humanitarian law is is a very complex. legal framework and i think it is important

that the complexity of international humanitarian law which by and large is always upon the ration between military interest and protection interest that these complexities can be discussed. with the militaries who are responsible for the conduct of military operations it is a complex issue but you are our guide to this complex issue does it make a difference in international humanitarian law if you have precision weapons and very good intelligence because the saudis have american funded weapons they have we believe american intelligence and yet in 4 and a half years they keep hitting whether it be school buses hospitals schools repeatedly hitting civilian targets well i certainly believe that there is and their advantage of having intelligence and precision

instruments in order to guy and to lead your military operations in a way which is compatible to international humanitarian law and i think it is important that those who deliver weapons and precision instruments to partners in warfare take also responsibility to engage that these weapons and these instruments are used in the wake compatible with international humanitarian law and i think that's very much a debate in body politics of the united states and other countries who are. deliver weapons to the belligerents in the region that you mentioned so i think the good thing about the geneva convention is that all states have signed up to these conventions so it's a common basis which. entices also responsibility for all states when you look at the grim picture of yemen it's hard to find some good news but potentially you

could say that since the end of last year her data is a bit of good news sort of good news there has been a very shaky cease far how has that affected the flow of much needed humanitarian aid well here again it's a glass half full and half empty of course compared to the needs we. register in the fear there is software operations in yemen what the pipeline of goods coming into yemen through her data. has all that has remained below what we would expect to do yemen remains. a context in which the pipeline of your money tarion assistance and protection work rain remains complex of course it's a positive element that more goods can come into the country but there are still

a lot of restrictions which would make yemen a context in which the situation would change dramatically to the better at the present moment humanitarian actors are still limited not only by importing to yemen but also by the situation on the ground in yemen to distribute goods to those who are most in need because combat operations in the country while and continues and as you would know as good as we all know this is a very complex situation in which so many actors on the ground are involved so it remains a challenging situation the fragile who dated deal was paul. out of what was agreed at the talks at the end of last year in stockholm what was also supposed to happen was a massive prisoner exchange between the who thiis and the yemeni government and your organization the i.c.r.c. was supposed to be dealing with that negotiating making it happen i don't believe a single prisoner has been exchanged has it what tell tell us what went wrong

indeed you rightly draw the attention to this important issue we continued to be engaged in hope to debug and the block the situation there with which side is causing the problem well. i'm not going to an attribute the responsibility for a non emergence of consensus around a diplomatic deal but i think as in any other situations i think we are very much committed to we're there with the u.n. to make these agreements these tentative agreements in stock on these areas which have been identified those priority areas happen and the detention exchange program according to all my organization and would be of course very important confidence building step. which hopefully would east tensions in other areas as well let's move to another conflict in the middle east to syria which is our no is your

largest operation in the world currently we heard consistently over a war that's lasted 8 and a half years from world leaders there is no military solution in syria and yet we've watched one play out assad has carried out with the help of the russians and the a military solution are you dismayed that a series of deescalation zones were picked off one by one we certainly have witnessed the same discrepancy and i have myself. highlighted in public statements the same discrepancy over the last couple of years step for 8 years we have heard. political leaders talking about the fact that there is no military solution while pursuing on the ground military solutions in syria i.c.r.c. as a humanitarian organization doesn't pronounce itself on the justification or not of military operation we are concerned about how these military operation are can do

you once diligence decide to go to war and in that sense we have even more been this stressed by the. repetitive violations of international humanitarian law in the conduct of us still it is in the use of weapons in the treatment of detainees so syria unfortunately has been and has become an emblematic conflict where the last couple of years we're the balance between the respect in this respect has been very unfavorable in terms of the treatment of civilians the treatment of detainees. and i think we we can only hope that. in a foreseeable future we we find that least ceasefire type arrangements which give reprieve to the civilian population which has so much

suffered in that syrian context particularly in because many from other parts of syria fled to it look there are 3000000 people there it looks like it might be the last the most bloody battle of the war there we've seen consistent attacks on hospitals a medical centers that can only have been carried out by the syrian government and the russians i know you don't like to talk about specifics but attacks on hospitals and medical centers is not clearly against the geneva conventions and well it's certainly not that. far and to the extent that hospitals are you would. hospitals not. bases for military operations and so each case has always talked be locked down to a very specific early having said that we are concerned that the syrian conflict again has been. at the top of those conflicts in which

military attacks have been laid against humanitarian installations hospitals medical workers. which have been particularly hit with regard to your special role looking after prisoners in conflict in syria let me ask you about those 1st those that are held in assad's prisons because there are so many families who don't know what has happened to their loved ones where the been tortured whether they be murdered what statistics do you have what access do you have we do visit detainees in syria which have been. under de or thought it is of the civilian military soft ministries of the ministry of interior so we use we do visit to regular detainees in. in in detention facilities in syria but we do not have access to those who have been

detained in the context of the hostilities in syria by the armed forces or or other security services so this is an issue which remains of big concern in terms of access and that's also due reason why i.c.r.c. as an observer participates in the stunna talks and in the working groups on detainees and missing people we are particularly concerned and i see it myself when visiting those contacts to see how much distress the insecurity about where people are. is imposing on so many so many syrian so we have seen syrians flooding icier seas office is over the last 2 years in particular since there has been in certain parts of syria a little bit of a reprieve on military hostilities they have contacted us they are looking for dear missing relatives which are either dead or in detention to which

we have not access not access yet hopefully the other population of prisoners i want to focus on are those that were part in syria and iraq of i saw some of those have ended up in custody i know you went to the al whole camp recently perhaps you can describe the conditions they're being held in and how concerned you are. well as you know there are those who have been fighters or suspected fighters and i.c.r.c. has in iraq and northeastern syria. some not complete access to those who are detained in prison and there are those who are relatives of . families of foreign fighters which are at the present moment in big numbers in the whole camp and we don't know where to go no one will take away many other country that's right and still 90 percent of those in the

whole are syrians in the rockies and i.c.r.c. has been able to access the camp to mount the humanitarian operation together with partners of the movement with the norwegian red cross we have been able to build a hospital we are cooking 20000 meals a day in a whole camp for the inhabitants but it remains a very dire situation for all those who are stuck at the present moment in a hole and that's the reason why we encourage all countries to make the best they can a breeding ground for further extremists well certainly it has been our view ill treatment in detention and insufficient access for humanitarian act to restore facilities like the ones in the hole in the insufficient possibilities to scale and speed up humanitarian assistance is creating conditions which are certainly not

favorable to reconsider the asian told positive reintegration of those who are dear so we are constantly appealing. to the international community and the respective governments in the region to deal with this important issue to give a perspective to those who are detained to. give more access and more facilities to humanitarian organization and for those. foreigners who are dear to be taken back by their countries of origins and either adjudicated or liberated depending on what . the exact situation of each one is i was surprised when looking at your figures for prisoners around the world at the place where you have the most missing people potentially being detained it's on another continent it's in nigeria well

the numbers of $22000.00 is that right that's right and then in terms of statistics of people having come to the i.c.r.c. and looking for people missing it's indeed the largest figure. per country that we have seen emerging it's not so surprising when you look at the landscape i have highlighted for a long time that the i.c.r.c. is concerned by the by the dynamic of violence war and displacement in the sahara in the late chart basin and i think it's just a lack of attention and visibility of conflict region. through the international community which is of concern is one once you look at what has happened over the last couple of years in that region you are a weirdo. millions have been displaced as they have in the middle east with almost

no visibility and sometimes with little access and little humanitarian response that that is happening so is the problem that the international community initially saw this is a mali problem they put $16000.00 u.n. peacekeepers in mali and the problem is now gone from mali still there too but it's spreading a lie. to suggest and offer a yes the international community thought it was a mali problem and probably the international community also thought it was an exclusively security problem and i think a lot of time and then the g. and the resources have gone into creating the g 5 hell in creating the multinational task force around the lake chart and to find the military response to all some of the insecurity emerging over the last couple of years and while when

you visit the region it pops to your eyes that there are these longstanding developmental. reasons which contribute to the fragility of this complex that there is climate change in my gratian and population displacements which comes on top of a very war torn and violent situation in which we find ourselves so i think it's really a very selective view with which the international community has looked. in continent and there's a hell and late charge in particular the europeans only look through the eyes of migrants coming to them and maybe insufficiently look at the complexity of the origin of fragility and population displacements in the sahara in the lake chad you mentioned climate change we normally deal with that as an environmental

problem but how much of a problem is a driver for conflict do you see in the future when you look at the list stuff countries most race from climate change and you look at my priority list of conflict war and violence these almost match 8 of 10. places in the world which are top priorities to i.c.r.c. to respond to war at the same time most fragile in terms of. climate change so there is obviously a link between climate change induced fragility and violence induced fragility we see it visible in this hell because the changing rainfall patterns have fundamentally changed the behavior of cultural lists and pastoralist people start

to move toward. lands which have been. in the in other productions circles of what the herders steer them so herders farmers encounter in a difficult sector and in the creasing the narrow space because of climate change induced population movement so this to the complexity of the situation and certainly demands some new forms of humanitarian response we are looking for instance at the present moment what means an adaptation to changing rainfall patterns as what does it mean for a humanitarian organization like us and we try to see how we can strengthen the resilience of communities the productive capacities sort of all new crops and new ways of doing business and the wing and go into the field so we look at new

explosions inside a mosque in eastern afghanistan during friday prayers have killed at least 62 people and ones claimed responsibility for the attack and. the taliban says it was not involved in is condemning the violence alexey o'brien reports. they went to the mosque the peaceful contemplation but minutes later dozens were injured the house of prayer destroyed. it was time for friday prayers and everyone had gathered in the mosque when suddenly a bomb exploded and many people got hurt that. was the 1st one victim says about 300 people were packed into the building in rural hoskin maina and mango ha province when the blast happened and the roof collapsed on to those prying below. it is no no wonder the among the enemies of religion and the homeland blew up a mosque during friday prayers the afghan security forces arrived in the affected

area immediately and helped to transport the wounded and remove the dead from the rubble. there aren't enough ambulances in afghanistan so the wounded were lifted into any car available and rushed to hospital. but oh outside chaos as a stately stream of vehicles broke so me and i both the taliban and i still linked groups are active in the east so the message that has come from the government is that it's the taliban and its taliban seen as partners who are responsible for the attack on the other side we have heard a statement coming from the taliban condemning the attack. a taliban spokesman describing it as a crime against humanity. the armed groups being engaged in peace talks with the u.s. in an effort to end the increasingly brutal 18 year war but last month president donald trump declared the talks date blaming a surge of violence by the taliban. the attack comes just a day after a u.n.

report said afghan civilians were dying in record numbers. amnesty international says the blast demands the world's attention. but in anger when many now have life changing injuries and mass graves are being dug many feel the international communities forgotten them brian al jazeera. in the next few hours british m.p.'s are set to debate and vote on prime minister boris johnson's breaks a deal with the e.u. but johnson is facing an uphill battle to get it approved with even the conservatives the democratic unionist party saying that they will vote against it they're an ally of the conservatives and are $76.00 a look at what we can expect from the vote. it's going to go right to the wire and it's too close to call because the government hasn't got a majority it's having to look outside the party for support and there was so many

variables that are in fact variables within the party itself because 21 members have been disciplined they're now being coached back and most of them are said to be supportive of boris johnson's deal furthermore the writs 28 diehard pro bricks and hard liners most of them apparently supporting both his johnson and then there are the independent m.p.'s they're looking to try and bring forward as well but really as far as the deal u.p.a. is concerned no deals there and so it's the labor party the labor party rebels who are pro bracks it very much on side with having a deal how many of them will support the government well that's the key thing because it could be a few votes short of power absolute of this more uncertainty now about the whole process with all of the lip when a conservative m.p. want to guarantee that there is no deal brix it by accident so he wants to speed up

the whole process he wants to flip it round with legislation for this new new deal going through 1st and then he's getting together 'd in the commons and rubber stamping it now that could take more than 2 weeks and that could derail any hope of the whole thing happening before october 31st and therefore an extension to january next year absa wall of this the sense of history of this saturday has been described by some as super saturday and there will be hundreds of thousands of demonstrators here wanting a 2nd referendum this a major gathering in london it could be as many as one of the half 1000000 predicted in the city this afternoon. and want to britain's poorest cities thousands of cargo ferries have for europe every day at the high percentage of li voters the people of paul want to break down hoping that will be the answer to their problems and behavior reports. a gateway to europe the humber is the u.k.'s

busiest trading estrie and home to one of its poorest sis's nearly 68 percent of people voted to leave the e.u. in the 2016 referendum. many here want breaks it down and a deal to be passed in parliament the village in delhi and i own 3 years where i asked if we want to send deals with the ballot paper. you want to leave with lloyd yes i just wish the film with that. and let me tell it to the television we expect paul we're all pretty safe coming to the end now this time with his 3 years ago everybody voted to come out and it's in my opinion that that's the wishes of the people that we should come out and spend some time doing the things is to get on the next series any chance see things that needed there were high levels of poverty in parts of home taking back control from europe is talked about by some here very little has.
