1:00 pm
you love to. look at the people of. this dismal brilliance is. this what all say i have confidence in here my life can be likes me we have a good relationship was we'll see what happens. indefinitely like sending rockets up doesn't that's why i call rocket men but. we have a very very very relationship and we'll see what happens they want to get me not but in the meantime it's been a long time president obama said is the number one problem as it would have been a war to be in or a death if there weren't a link if i were president if you know already down in asia and who knows where that little bag brings it that brings a lot of other countries. and the bill. of war what you don't know that a number where you don't know the number 2 very importantly i have met. mr pease
1:01 pm
we have peace at least speaking for myself i have a very 1st real relationship and he has with me i'm possibly the only one he has that kind of relationship with in the world they call the hermit kingdom i know a lot about his firm and gave them but i have a very good relationship if you would have listened to president obama would be world war 3 right now so we'll see what happens and look we are working our militarily than we ever ever been at i will tell you what i took over the united states military when i became commander in chief our military was depleted our roads or was in trouble you know that better than anybody we had over the plains we had all everything we have ammunition now we have the most powerful military very apt and were by far the most powerful country in the world and hopefully we don't have to use it but if we do we'll use it really if we have to we'll do it but you know my relationship with kim jong il is really good but that doesn't mean he he
1:02 pm
won't abide by the. right that that was the that was u.s. president trump and he was then speaking to the secretary general of nato that's. when i think we've got that signal back let's take a listen. replay approximately $500000000000.00 a year more for protections $500000000.00 now we only had a month or 2 before the budget so they said oh no no i don't you know they're very good businesspeople you see how they do want to trade but they've agreed to pay almost $500000000.00 a year more that capital to a $1000000000.00 plus to a $1000000000.00 it's a lot of money looked at that with a number of phone calls and immediately now we're to go shooting for that
1:03 pm
a bit more because united states is facing a lot of money for projects are worth it and we think it's fair that they pay and paid more we have a very good relationship but we think it's fair that they pay more i'm not sure anybody knows that you know about the 500000000000 that they agreed to pay more. or yeah i met with them a. 67 months ago i'd be a little bit longer than that and i said you know pay enough it's not fair they were getting $500.00 their way less than $500.00 a year i think process begins and i said it's not unfair we do a great job here $32.00 1000 3 soldiers their course us you know many times when you've made it and you have to pay out and they said it in a very good way $35.00 you go shish and they were very close to being at the end of their budget and we agreed to $500000000000.00 for our own house around $500000000000.00 and that got up to close to
1:04 pm
a $1000000000.00 from $500000000000.00 less than $500000000.00 which has been that number for many many years decades. and i got $500000000.00 more here so it's $500000000.00 a year that's a lot of money. and still substantially less than it costs are now we're at a negotiation there's a bit more and they could do that because they're very restrictive and if we didn't know about it. i wonder whether the story of federal relief and i don't mean it it. has to be debated i could go either way i could make arguments both ways but i think it's i do think this i think if we're going to do it i think it's the ship. we're fairly it's not fair for the united states to defend it many countries not only that but many countries where we and the rich countries i can tell you this 5
1:05 pm
other countries that are at a safe harbor station with you know saudi arabia or who were troops there and they're paying us billions of dollars ok you never heard of before you never heard of that in your whole life we move troops or we pay nothing to. people to give energy and the world took advantage of us but we do we have a good relationship with saudi arabia but they needed help they were attacked. and as you saw we just spoke to a. contingent of troops they did their begging us billions of dollars and then happy. the problem is nobody ever asked them to do it until i get will nobody ever a obama didn't ask bush didn't clinton did it yes nobody asked i think he said to me but nobody is. i said i know gay but i missed me. and they're paying as they were already sent us billions of dollars so really the bank so and
1:06 pm
that's right and they're happy to do it but we never had a president who would ask that's not right so well and we had many other countries that were doing the same thing well think of things now in some cases euro countries eat up and don't have money they're poor and this tremendous trauma this tremendous problems think is going to be going on and that's a different situation but we have a wealthy country as i missed your family said dale to prime minister rabin a friend of mine james up i said you have to. have to help was happier with a lot of money your wealthy nation and where you know pay for your own material sense you have to help us have it is doing to do up there are going to do a lot but they were never asked. you have a are worth a cent if you're a very well i think it's a very important point you want to stand irish so why nobody probably really knows
1:07 pm
about it or talk about this is the 1st time i've talked about in public but no where separate is taking us almost $500000000.00 more and now we're starting to go in for billions of dollars and you think it here very young very very happy for all. what would happen if session in a way that any time soon did they say you know i mean you know to position you know my position to the cells it's brought up but you know where i also brought up. and i bring it up right now back at iran is killing perhaps thousands and thousands of people right now as we speak that's why they cut off the internet so they cut off the internet so people can see what's going off but thousands of people again killed around record. and frankly i don't know how to get in there iron how you do your business by the press of a get in there see what's going on because the word is that bad sense of people are
1:08 pm
being killed it around the protests you hear about it it's really not just not just all numbers which are a bit big numbers which are really good and really big numbers from you are both the policy in iraq and he morning. where our evidence a ring. but i think it's a terrible thing that i think the world has to be watching but many people are being killed we're hearing the action many many people are being killed interest. for protests and for the mere fact of their protest. to general fire the battle with him and. me were you. you're talking about the woman who had the arsonist with the young men in the water cycle when you're right that is parents up in their lovely people and i've spoken to the woman who works for government who has their blue magic community and we're truck where something
1:09 pm
is happening pretty feel certain that you're going to get them you know that you go . to the job to take you know is dependent on one thing do i want to pick it up. because we're doing very well with general and we can do even better with a flip of a ben and jerry's pay for and china has the worst year by far they've had 57 years so we'll see what happens with her very well right now and i gave the farmers as you know what he $8000000000.00 and had a lot left oh there's a foreign targeted by china. i gave them plenty $1000000000.00 over a 2 year area and they got them all that was everything that china had to get out i gave them from the tariffs that janet us and i had billions left over beneath it was of you know we have a deadline i have no no reason for the user id so why is it that it's better to
1:10 pm
wait till after the election you were good. i think in some ways it's better to wait till after the election with china but i'm not going to say that i just think that i just said to you. in some ways i like the idea of waiting till after the election for the china to go but they want to make a deal now or we'll see whether or not the feel is going to be right it's going to be right or look jack has been ripping off the united states for many many years again because of leadership or lack of leadership or it was the very thing it's like i told you about the military and again when we were. thank you then and carol every one of these countries are these are rich countries that are they would always say but nobody's ever asked system to that blanket therefore why should we do it now i said well they haven't because they were foolish but i am and that's what we are and that's why would somebody arabia with south korea with so many
1:11 pm
other countries they're paying a lot of money to do you know this is that they were doing and it will be a lot warmer for us it is their record and that's a big super answer big story of you why i don't have a right to make that a bit whatever go figure a way or if you did your research or or he's or. i know nothing about the general really jerry corporate know nothing about. it's a. war right battle rifle. there are. more on i mean there's you know it's been there are russian i think you can have a very good relationship with russia i don't think that there's any problem going along with the secretary general speaking with russia i think it's a very important thing to do and that's to be talking to her because i strongly also as the president believes that india boards of all over the course of our efforts our biggest paper sit for space and we will strive for the privilege to
1:12 pm
ship with the russia but we do not base all people than to will try to profile got to be strong we have to provide a credible returns on the fence combined with our also because this is the fairest of bands. and that's exactly what we are doing especially for the arms of control you need to boil your water straits we need to avoid you or are you are saying is they just if it is expensive and never will so we're pretty much the. us invited to the line of feverish bond holding either british before us. the good thing is the neighbor was able to respond the unified way we all agreed that under sharples mileage will support of this is because the treaty will not work with the police because by will not anonymous in together again on the profile failure of us. if i
1:13 pm
was on a dress code should meet this fall that we will was only a quarter of the way together we will this fall of the fence it way but you have to make sure the baby is still provide credible the purchase i was also in the role we border the science and you were offered roles something i know that the president's very focused on read about as it is you progress on football we were shocked but also in one way we have to find ways to could charm. if you to promise to be bored or the door is home. to say this russia wants to make it you are the arms control and i terminated the deal because they were living up to that and it was an obsolete deal anyway they were really going to put russia wants to maybe it was the recent leaders like 2 weeks ago russia wants to make a deal very much on arms control 'd and nuclear and that's more absurd it wouldn't really be a good thing and would also certainly bring you know hugo chavez that we may regret
1:14 pm
later who would be a rebel but russia wants to do something basically absurd when it would be a great thing to do so you know. we're good friends and there's a. you know i don't know perhaps you know do but it's actually top story so we're just really 'd i don't know. anybody else thank you so we're really really. interesting. to read read. what. you are. write while you've been watching us president donald trump there making some remarks after meeting with nato secretary general against altenburg that's ahead of the summit and that will kick off tomorrow now he did cover a huge amount of ground and coming out very strongly against france and president
1:15 pm
back on for his comments that nato and the alliance is brain dead and then he did question whether or not france might break away from a show he did also come out in support of turkey saying that they have been nothing but but good and that they have been nothing but supportive now when asked if turkey should be an ally of while still be a part of the nato alliance and he said it should be discussed among allies well let's go live now to our correspondent john hall who is live for us in london china did we expect the president trying to come out quite so strongly against france and mackerel. well it's an extraordinary press conference that we were expecting no more than statements from mr stoltenberg and mr trump but of course in character donald trump taking the opportunity to discuss a great many subjects not just at issue in this nato summit as you say france their
1:16 pm
turkey but running the gamut of u.s. foreign policy through south korea north korea china russia and of course touching on impeachment as well did we expect him to come out so strongly against france well in a sense yes we did because of comments made by emmanuel macron in the run up to this nato summit in which he said nato was at risk of being able to coming brain dead on able to coordinate amongst its own members too preoccupied with spending defense spending and not enough time spent on strategic cooperation and all of that was essentially a dig at donald trump who turned up in brussels last year at the nato summit and eclipsed proceedings entirely by berating european members of europe in particular the e.u. and members of nato for not spending enough on their own defense and allowing too much of the burden to fall on france so. emanuel macron setting the stage for an almost inevitable showdown with donald trump and donald trump taking things off in that press conference there saying i've got on well with emanuel in the past
1:17 pm
but he does tend to do things that are not good for his own country nobody needs nato more than france does alluding presume to the 2nd world war and again taking issue with the europeans for not spending enough and that despite mr stockton bergs efforts to smooth things over he'd hoped to kick this summit off by saying that there is much more money being pledged on the table annually by nato members from europe also a redistribution of costs in terms of the nato budget frankly donald trump has led with the other foot and set the scene for what could be a rather bad. beaching of nature to laura well johnny you talk about these bad tempers and these tensions we've also seen tensions between. and and with emmanuel macron especially off comments that they might not support a nato plan to support some of their countries and if the rest of later didn't support their incursion in turkey so give us
1:18 pm
a read now on the mood there especially often now that we've heard u.s. donald u.s. president all trump say that he essentially and would have a discussion about whether or not turkey could be a part of nato with the other allies. yes well i guess i mean that feeds into emanuel macro's comp comments about tape turkeys brain death and of course that was shot back by mr erdogan with the comment that perhaps was tobacco and should consider whether he indeed was brain dead the background to all of this is donald trump's decision back in october unilaterally to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria that allowed enabled turkey to move its forces in to counter the kurds there who sees of course as a terrorist threat it was only mr 2 on the trump informed of his decision he didn't inform other nato members and so that is the background and context of all of this and comes to nato making comments already before this summit gets underway saying
1:19 pm
nato needs to take another good hard look at individual members threats or just things that they see as threats and consider them on a member by member basis he's very well aware that he has no support in nato for what he's doing in northern turkey against don't forget why p.g. forces kurdish forces who just 2 months ago were u.s. allies and he has threatened mr irwin to upturn nato's policy in eastern europe bolstering the defenses of the balkans the baltics rather and poland against russia if he doesn't get you know a support donald trump of course key to all of this who has a sort of one on one relationship with mr hurd one was asked is turkey still a dependable member and he said well look that's for everybody else to talk about far as i'm concerned i get on very well with mr erdogan and we did a deal in northern syria that everybody was critical of now they say it's a great deal or not so who says it's a great deal we kept the oil donald trump says we kept it away from isolate we've killed al baghdadi the isolate lead it with turkey's help and we've left turkey to
1:20 pm
the border where they seem to be doing very well so if donald trump is going to be taking a stand against mr erdogan along with nato members at this summit it certainly isn't apparent here well that john howell who will bring us live updates from london i will notice that i thank you very much sanjay. let's speak now tomorrow on bashara who is al jazeera as senior political analyst and he joins us now live from paris. a remarkable press conference there from president obama trump and now we're going into the summit with the french president to leave now said repeatedly has called nato potentially brain dead because of what happened between turkey and syria a turkish leader who's now being accused of blackmailing his allies and a u.s. president who is again questioning the premise of whether or not the u.s. will defend the alliance and bracing people about spending so right now 70 year is to nato is there a future for the alliance. well clearly
1:21 pm
from the way the leaders are approaching it they don't seem to be optimistic themselves that's why the entire 70th anniversary of was in fact downgraded from summit to something we don't know what it is actually like a meeting or something the fact a 70th anniversary of presumably the most successful military alliance in in modern history would not be celebrated as a summit that in and by itself isn't doesn't bode well for the alliance now let's all also remember a number of things that sort of underlying factors here each one of the main leaders of the nato alliance has an issue at home president from the most stark example has an impeachment starting tomorrow the to really really find out whether and how in the judiciary present in a court here faces one of the probably greatest strikes in modern history of france in couple of days boris johnson is facing elections and upheld by the in fact in
1:22 pm
that in those elections merkel of course is really leaving the scene for a for a conservative party that is not really finding its footing so all of them have crises of sort and they really don't see eye to eye on the challenges facing the west's or the nato alliance in other words is it russia is it china is it better and what present mccrone said to the economist here just. almost a month ago was basically that nato has lost its delays on that it's the reason for its existence he might have chosen not exact words i'm not sure but certainly what he said is if turkey and the united states are going to act bilaterally on their own without consulting the rest of nato members when something is important as syria or as something. also in the middle east then why do we have
1:23 pm
nato and if we don't agree on our policy towards russia or towards afghanistan for that matter then why should we be a nettle and if we don't agree with turkey neither on syria nor in libya then why should there be nato so he's basically urging either a top of the revamp of nato or and here i go to the more micro historical french understanding of security and if let's all remember that france has always took a bit of an exception to other countries membership in nato until recently like almost 990 s. where they actually joined full force france would like to see a european defense structure with european military european army european nuclear force an independent one that suits the european union so marlon let me ask you then these tensions that we're seeing between adeline and macron.
1:24 pm
and trump could they derail the summit and very briefly could this potentially be the beginning of the end for nato. i don't think we're going to see the beginning of the end of it too anytime soon i think there i've been reasons for french turkish tensions for a long time now since france did not really encourage their kit to join the e.u. in fact the even almost blocked them and sense also a do and has problem with france over the questions of syria and turkish role in the middle and the region there's also something that's that was interesting i think that the by the way i did not find the press conference remarkable except if you think every trump press conference is remarkable in some way but there was interesting that he admitted that the united states did not want to sell advanced but the thoughts that turkey hence forcing therapy to buy as for hundreds from from moscow i think that's an important admission that they could not just go off on
1:25 pm
some kind of a whim to buy russian weapons that it was denied as a nato member to buy advanced patriots from from from the from the united states so all in all we're going to see french turkish tensions but by the way there is going to be tomorrow a french british german turkish meeting on on syria and on other issues there's going to be french american tension but i don't think it's as important as we see it because this has been low for a while now but that's an american companies are not and by the way the french air say look they're making profits in europe they're making profits in france and hence they should be taxable here under sharia that believe that often our political analyst. paul moving on to other news now and iranian state television has acknowledged for the fast time people it describes as rioters was shot and killed during recent
1:26 pm
protests thousands of people joined demonstrations angry over an increase in petrol prices which is that by the government's now human rights groups say as many as 200 people were killed iran's government on the other hand has rejected that figure well let's speak now to our correspondent aside by crews in the iranian capital tehran said iran has now acknowledged that these people killed by security forces but obviously these figures are disputed how they actually said how many. well the official iranian figure is 13 but also includes security forces now the state t.v. did run a report as a lengthy report around 7 minutes long talking about acknowledging for the very 1st time that security forces reign security forces did kill some protesters but they call them writers and thugs now they put them into different categories they said that they were writers and thugs on good knives and guns to attack military centers the peaceful protesters there were passive passers by and also security forces now
1:27 pm
they didn't say how those peaceful protesters are passers by were killed although this morning the spokesperson for the judiciary said that it was suspicious and the police used to kill them or from the security services now the report also acknowledged the white spread nature of these demonstrations they said that it took place in teheran in shiraz and. and also the southwestern city of. this city has an arab population has some arab population and there have been allegations of a massacre there now the reports said that they were separatists that they were on that the 5 and security services and the security services were forced to defend themselves and fired back so they acknowledge that there were people killed there now we don't know how many people were killed and there are reports in the international media putting figures on the number of killed but iran is rejecting those and they say that it's far less than what's been said by amnesty
1:28 pm
international as and we've also just had from u.s. president tran and he was saying that iran is killing thousands and thousands of people right now when he was asked about these figures have we had any reaction from inside iran to both what trungpa said and the iranian state television actually coming out and acknowledging these deaths for the fast time. well there's not been any reaction as of yet but iran has been blaming outside forces for intervening or trying to intervene in what's taking place in the country now i could tell you now that iran will reject whatever donald trump i said they are not concerned with thousands of people being killed right now in fact there's no demonstrations taking place this country has just come out from an internet blackout internet was only restored last week i'm sitting to nationals but the figure of just over $200.00 and the ring is already rejecting that so that definitely not going to accept done something thousands and thousands of people are
1:29 pm
being killed but the rains will also say that the country the people of iran all suffering because of u.s. sanctions so they'll think it's pretty rich coming from donald trump when he when he is behind this maximum pressure campaign. correspondent in tehran thank you. well police say 4 people including one police officer were killed during the latest protests against u.n. peacekeepers and eastern democratic republic of congo now gunfire was heard throughout to monday in the city of beni by things remain tense security forces say they were forced to fire on protesters who were making their way towards a u.n. base local people accuse the u.n. peacekeepers of failing to protect them from rebel attacks well let's go live now to our correspondent catherine soy who is in goma that's east and largest city catherine give us a sense of what it's like there on the ground now after all of yesterday's violence and then. in the general hospital
1:30 pm
today and people are admitted one dr barrett saying that they have to operate from the woman who was shot in the head in the protest she died last night that's why the death toll is now at 5. they're all we've seen of revenge attacks by the a.d.f. . i believe we have lost our correspondent catherine sway we will try to get her back as soon as we can but moving on in a few moments we will have the weather but still ahead on the air. and unprecedented number of killings in mexico raises new questions about the president's strategy to deal with drug violence. and we'll hear from the tree heavyweights getting ready for a rematch ingreat that's coming up with inspires. us
1:31 pm
. and that's why i think emory has produced some torrential amounts of rain in just the last 24 hours look at this 256 millimeters 202 but the good news of this storm system is 1st of all of course the filipino people was so well prepared for this storm system that we had no reports so far of any injuries and in fact although there's widespread flooding again the system is moving very quickly out towards the west as continues to pull away so of course the heavy rain will also do the same but it still remains a very powerful storm right now we've got winds about 160 kilometers an hour as we go through wednesday it will still be a typhoon pulling out towards the west and then as we go on wednesday into thursday we'll continue to pull its way further tools the west pulling out into his warm
1:32 pm
ocean waters but it will begin to lose some strength and i was going to happen after that little bit uncertain about you got high pressure to the north which is pushing it she's staring the system for the south so as we go through thursday on into friday it's quite likely it will head south and perhaps not really impact this area of vietnam but is certainly a few days away so we'll just keep a very close on this to see exactly where it does head where we have had flooding is into southern portions of india you can see off the west coast we've actually got to storm system we're watching because tom all knowledge about what we've got over the next couple days is a drying up of conditions so that should help as i say with the flooding across that region. sponsored tony. the story of. family and freedom going through my receipt years of europe. are discounted largely. from the hardships faced in captivity they came from. they told me to leave my son. so much in the.
1:33 pm
processing coming soon on al-jazeera. the. foreign exchange transparency. happened for the world's largest oil producer and you don't list in the world's largest. investigate. the middle east's most potent economic with saudi aramco company and the state. on.
1:34 pm
again you're watching al-jazeera reminder of our top stories this hour the president has threatened to oppose nato has plans for the defense of baltic countries and poland u.s. president donald trump is threatening tariffs against france and leaders are reacting shopped to french president backbones recent description of the alliance as brain dead. iranian state television has acknowledged to the time that security forces shot and killed what it describes as rioters during anti-government protests human rights groups say as many as 200 people were killed. and police in democratic republic of congo say up to 5 people were killed during protests in beni on monday demonstrators are upset about what they say is a lack of u.n. protection from rebel groups are returning now to our top story the nato military alliance that seems to be on shaky ground we've been hearing from president trump
1:35 pm
who spoke just a short while ago and he directed his attack against u.s. ally and french leda emanuel his government is proposing taxes and retaliation for french levy is on american tech products france's fat finance minister has responded by threatening a strong e.u. response if the top administration doesn't follow through on its threats if it were to take advantage of the american currency it's going to be us it's not going to be france. we can actually use you know we're going to be a warm and everything else and we have a very very. cross one of the talked about that joins us now live from paris natasha what sort of french goods could possibly face these tariffs. or u.s. trade officials are talking about tariffs on dozens of french products in retaliation for france's digital services tax which would penalize big tech u.s. companies such as amazon and facebook in the sort of products we're talking about
1:36 pm
mainly luxury goods so handbags beauty products sparkling wines and cheeses and we've already seen the impact of this threat on the french stock market here with shares in international luxury goods companies such as caring and healthy a major big french brands taking a bit of a hit and what u.s. trade officials say is that $2400000000.00 worth of french products could be affected so it's something that french producers and of course the governments are going to be watching very closely indeed and attach to how likely is this to add to this already strained u.s. france relationship. well i think there's no doubt that this is going to sour the relationship between not just the united states and france but also the united states and europe you we've already heard from the french finance minister bruno saying that these kinds of tariffs walls as he calls them carried
1:37 pm
out by the united states are simply unacceptable that they will be a very strong e.u. response and there are several you countries that are also considering a similar kind of digital services tax as the one that france is going to put in place such as spain u.k. and italy so they'll be watching this very closely indeed because there is a real feeling in the european union that these big tech companies simply have too much power and they are not regulated well interesting also to look at a little bit further along in the day when the french president tomorrow michael actually meets donald trump because of course trump there at that nato summit in london certainly made many personal attacks on emanuel macro saying that he basically says things that he shouldn't and michael would be personally disappointed because it was back in august at the g. 7 summit in france that amount of micro said that he and donald trump had come to a compromise on this very issue that the u.s. would not impose tariffs because of this digital services tax and it seems that
1:38 pm
donald trump has gone back on his promise tomorrow mark or no doubt the french president will not be happy to be watching that meeting very closely natascha about an air force and paris thank you natasha. now bangladesh is preventing hundreds of thousands of range of children from getting an education that's according to human rights watch a new report says education inside refugee camps is inadequate with language barriers and no secondary level teaching the rights groups say the children are banned from enrolling in schools outside the camp and also from taking national exams and it wants the government to lift restrictions now believe and is the associate children's rights director at human rights watch and he joins us now live from bangkok bill let's start by talking through some of the obstacles here this is the bangladeshi government actively stopping aid groups from running formal education and also holding up the development of informal curricula to inside the camps. you know this is kind of an unprecedented situation in terms of
1:39 pm
a government policy of deliberate denial of education to refugee children who just to point out have the same rights to a quality education under international law as any other child what's been happening is that bangladesh has laid down some red lines that are really hampering what humanitarian aid groups can teach in the camps in addition to blocking refugee kids from being able to go to schools outside the camp so there's no formal education as you said there's no accredited curriculum so if you learn something that may never count you can't go to the high school level of education and then trying to work within these red lines you know the humanitarian education actors have developed this informal curriculum but they've submitted the whole thing to the government for approval just approval not even accreditation it took the government a whole year to approve just the basic elementary school levels and they haven't approved anything else since well this all really goes to a broader issue doesn't bell which is about the future of the region. and whether or not they can actually go home or whether they have
1:40 pm
a home and i know bangladesh has said that they want them returned within the next couple of years and we're already seeing attempted relocations where as all of that is now where is that conversation. well unfortunately that conversation is still alive one bangladesh has attempted to organize with me and martha words to repatriations to me and mar of rohingya refugees who actually just found themselves on the lists to be repatriated didn't know how they got there or didn't volunteer for it as soon as they heard about it we're like we do not want to go back because it is not safe for us another plan is to fence in the huge refugee camps in the caucasus bazaar district another plan is to relocate 100000 refugees to an island called by sun char which means floating island which just emerged from the silt deposits in the bay of bengal about 20 years ago and regularly floods the grim irony when this comes to education is that every single room child and parent and teacher that i talked to said we all want to go back home and we want to study
1:41 pm
the 1000000 mark curriculum because if we go back we want to be able to you know thrive in our own country we don't want to stay in bangladesh but bangladesh is acting as if it would be safe for them to go back sooner and pretending like they might not be stuck there for a long time in the refugee camps or in bangladesh which is which is a depression deprivation of education based on wishful thinking and it's enormously harmful to hundreds of thousands of children well i know human rights watch has said that this is about a whole generation of children and you've said now that this is clearly in contravention of international human rights all various treaties and conventions so what is the next step here at what could aid groups who are working in those camps potentially do to try to change the situation. i think the difficulty for the aid groups working in the camps is that they are quite anxious that if they are too vocal in their criticism of what bangladesh is limiting them from doing their permits will be revoked they won't be able to run those programs and that refugee children will be will be deprived of the little education they are
1:42 pm
currently getting so i don't think this is really the responsibility of the aid groups in the camps this is the responsibility of the international community this policy of deprivation of education didn't start with the mass influx of refugees in august 2017 it's been going on for generations bangladesh has gotten away with it. deserves enormous praise for opening its border and saving countless lives of rohingya over the years but they need to be put under a lot of pressure to change this really terrible policy that amounts to a mass human rights violation and the international community needs to step up. and f. out that here is the children's rights direct to act human rights watch thank you for joining us out of there. now 127 people have been murdered in just 24 hours and mexico that's an unprecedented number for just a single day and many are now questioning the president's strategy of hogs not bullets and attacking the drug cartels as al jazeera al official reports from
1:43 pm
mexico says. it'll take a while to repair the damaged if you in your own city hall the memories of what happened here will last much longer. saturday afternoon a convoy of vehicles covered in the initials of a local drug cartel c.d.n. drove into town and began fighting this the authorities believe was sending a message to the regional government to quote. security forces surrounded the turn 60 kilometers south of the texas border by the time the gun battles ended on sunday 22 were dead 16 gunmen 4 police officers 2 civilians pictures of local politicians were riddled with bullets locals had to literally run for their lives you mustn't drown the past the yellow plastic thank you we were arriving at the plaza with our children but he began to shoot at us from the hill and we had to run in another direction the attack in question ended on the day it's no been confirmed was the deadliest since mexico began keeping records $127.00 people were killed on december
1:44 pm
1st the day that marked the 1st anniversary of president andres manuel lopez obrador taking office he had promised a new approach to tackling mexico's violence and it is morning news conference claimed the incident quite realize it was unusual is the castle this case is let's say unusual it is not something that happens and quite we'll every day we have a plan for the national guard we need 140000 guards but we only have 70000. later in the day the president met members of the love boat and family 9 of them were killed in a cartel ambush near the u.s. border in early november we were updated on the investigation into the murders 4 people have been arrested. didn't speak after the meeting. hoses took to the streets on sunday to protest against the president's 1st year of office one of the largest groups demanding he give more to curb the violence yes president donald trump says he's begun the process to designate mexico's drug cartels as terrorist
1:45 pm
organizations mexico opposes that idea but we find itself under increasing pressure to do something about the moderate especially if there's another day as bloody as the same for the 1st 2019 alan fischer al-jazeera mexico city well let's speak now to an assembled here is a senior research fellow and a strategic advisor on international humanitarian law at the geneva academy and she joins us now on skype from there and it's a from an international humanitarian law perspective given the level of violence is mexico considered to be at war with the drug cartels. well for many years now there has been discussion indeed on how to classify this situation of armed violence under international humanitarian law or in other words there are armed conflict there are 2 criteria to be a particular in the situation for is the level of violence the level of casualties
1:46 pm
and the 2nd element to take into consideration is the level of organizations of the armed gangs involved many scanners many different institutions do you believe that in mexico at least for certain cartels like jelly school cut down a new generation and to say a certain extent also as the. these elements have been field so it means that the law applicable in armed conflict situation would would have. its application in mexico and from the state side then does the mexican government itself does the government accept that it is at war. well he doesn't accept it really openly they have there have been discussion also with the mexican government taking place. the mexican government wants to decide the legal framework be given
1:47 pm
any of course it's right it can be domestic law which is 1st the people there and then human rights law which is the 2nd layer of reputation and then it may or may not accepted that international humanitarian law is a people in mexico if it does though it will imply that certain rules will are on targeting will will be will be a particular there in and as well as the rule of proportionality an attack and rules of on detention so mexico is a sovereign state and has the right to decide which framework is a beautiful although once it is decided it has to obey of course and it has to respect the rules of particular in this case or saying as this violence is continuing to escalate we've just seen these huge number of deaths just in the last day what are mexico's options here and could declaring at
1:48 pm
a war potentially actually hamper its response in terms of trying to crack down on some of these drug cartels. i don't think it could and it would international humanitarian law as well as human rights law give ample possibility to states involved in armed conflict to address the situation around balance it has the right to target. military objectives it has a right to to take the life of someone who is a threat to others but it needs to do so in accordance with certain principles the principle of necessity and proportionality but it doesn't limit the action of a state what the state cannot do though is to pick and choose which norms from whatever a legal framework being the domestic the international one and because this creates
1:49 pm
a vague ness and also may also create situations where the victims do not exactly know what the government is allowed to do and so i do not believe that by categories in this situation as an armed conflict it would limit the the action of the mexican government to address the situation of anger and violence which is a very complex one so it might be the case that the better framework is the one which is an aberrated at the domestic level. and assemble all the singer research fellow and strategic advisor international humanitarian law at the geneva academy thank you for your thoughts. thank you. 55 people have now died and some are as the pacific island nation struggles to contain a measles outbreak now 50 of them were children under the age of 4 some as prime minister has shut down the government on mondays or free up staff to help contain the spread schools have been closed nationwide and children under the age of 17 are
