in cold war between china and the united states from around the world close to bankruptcy many say such initiatives will not be enough to deal with what prime minister has warns could be a major food crisis. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter dhabi you're watching the news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes a landmark ruling from the u.s. supreme court going against donald trump and allowing young undocumented immigrants to remain in the united states. i don't think he's fit for office sent i don't think he has the competence to carry out a. damning revelations about donald trump from his former national security adviser

in a tell all book. the harsh reality of displacement the u.n. report says war and persecution have displaced one out of every 100 people in the world. also on the program baghdad demands that turkey pulls its forces out of northern iraq after a week of military operations targeting kurdish forces. and i'm here to stand with all your sport says living d.x. corruption trial draws to a close in paris the former head of world faces 4 years in prison if found guilty of taking bribes to cover up russian doping but he's a lawyer says that there would be in the main and cruel. busy news day today let's kick off in the united states there in the last hour or so the supreme court has dealt another setback to the trump white house this time in a case involving young immigrants the court has rejected the administration's efforts

to end the program shielding young undocumented migrants from deportation it's known as dhaka deferred action for childhood arrivals there are around $700000.00 so-called dreamers who are. not to the u.s. as children who can breathe a sigh of relief we're also waiting for the court to weigh in on whether the president should release his tax returns congressional committees and new york state prosecutors want to obtain a year's worth of donald trump's tax returns and other financial records live now to mike hanna who's monitoring those rulings coming to us from the supreme court he joins us from washington so just unpack the ruling for us mike how significant is this. it's an exceedingly significant ruling indeed done by a majority decision 5 judges to 4 voted to push back on this legislation or the attempted legislation by the trumpet ministration but let me state right out and it's a very important point is that the majority decision was written by the chief justice

john roberts and he makes very clear that is objection is not to the policy of the administration's legislation but to the way in which it was written in other words he is saying that it was incorrectly drafted not that the policy that the administration wants to execute is incorrect another the decisions are subtle maior makes very clear that she is opposed to the policy she obviously joined john roberts in this majority decision but the point of all of this is quite simply that that legislation could be rewritten resubmitted to the supreme court this has happened before with the president trumps travel ban where it was initially rejected and then rewritten and then passed by the court so certainly this is not an end possibly to the saga but it is absolutely crucial point of relief to some 700000 people who have no will who will not now be facing deportation in the near future and when we find out where the they will say the court will say yes we

should see his tax returns. well that is a question that is open and we were expecting the decision in the course of the day previously the court has released decisions at 10 minutes intervals but no decision as yet on those tax returns to make clear about that those are 2 separate cases that the court is pondering over the one was brought by congress which had subpoenaed trump's financial records in the process of the impeachment and prior to that the other case deals with new york state which is seeking charges against president for activities before he became president now these issues are very different and it's likely that the court may rule against one and in favor of the other so this is a very complicated situation as to when that judgment is being handed down we are waiting minute to minute to find out this is not been

a very good week for the trump white house as it might come in 3 days ago you were telling us about the supreme court ruling on l.g. bt writes you know there's all those kind of peripheral dog whistle issues that the trumpet ministration goes to every 18 months for 2 years they've been falling and falling against him almost like kind of political dominoes here. indeed yes well it is a bad week remembering of course that in that the decision that the trump administration had brought that case asking the supreme court not to apply in 1960 civil rights legislation to gay and transgender people so certainly that was a defeat for the trumpet ministration this is yet another defeat for the trumpet ministration obviously these are like dominoes as you say but one must remember and i must keep on pointing out that in the case of it's not necessarily an overall defeat what the court is saying in this decision or what the chief justice is

saying who held the casting vote is that the legislation was badly written not that the policy is wrong so this is perhaps a ray of hope for the administration lawyers but at this stage as you say dominoes up falling very much against the trump administration particularly with the background of the revelations by a former national security advisor john bolton in his book good to talk to as a thank you very much. mike mentioned the john bolton book there will is that supreme court ruling was being released mr trump and his administration scrambling to react revelations from mr bolton of course formerly a high level staffer inside the white house in his usual style mr trump has been highly defensive this time over more allegations about his dealings with foreign leaders made in a tell all book by his former national security adviser he's john bolton he quit

last year he's leaked excerpts from his book to the media in it he's accusing mr trump of asking leaders including the chinese president to help him to get reelected on the end of the this year the 577 page book is called the room where it happened and it's got the president lashing out on twitter calling it a compilation of lies and made up stories just to make him look bad he continued saying the statements attributed to him were quotes pure fiction adding that it was all about bolton trying to get even referring to him at the end of the tweet as a sick puppy alan fisher has been following the story since it broke he joins us from the white house so alan what's the main thrust of the book. that donald trump isn't fit to do the job of john bolton details several cases he talks about how he was there they say and important things like the summit in singapore with kim jong un who is there in finland when he met vladimir putin how

he traveled to g. 8 g 7 g 20 nato meetings and he was always there with donald trump advising him talking to him but he said that donald trump saw everything as transactional politics what would help him get reelected he talks specifically about the chinese and how he asked the chinese president to buy a great deal of american farm produce believing that would help secure his reelection the white house is trying to block publication of this they have gone to court that is likely to be had at some point on friday but that book is out it's being sent across the country some are even being sent out of the country so that people can buy them let me show you my laptop just last night from a contact i got a digital copy of the i'm currently reading the section about the summit in singapore which donald trump has tweeted about just in the last 20 minutes or so he

also talks about how donald trump would try to use twitter to deflect from bad news particularly one case he says mohammed bin sound in the de facto leader of saudi arabia will donald trump tweeted out his support for him during the case of the jamal khashoggi the journalist who was murdered in istanbul in the saudi consulate there he decided to tweet support because of his daughter was getting a hard time because she had used private sarah verse for political business the exact same thing that he wanted to see hillary clinton jailed for so john bolton is doing the rounds you spoken to a number of newspapers he's also doing a peak time interview on sunday here in the united states we saw a little snippet of that on the morning shows here in the u.s. just in the last couple of hours and he says donald trump is not fit to be u.s. president. you described the president as erratic foolish behaved

irrationally bizarrely you can't leave him alone for a minute he said conspiracies behind rocks and was stunningly uninformed he couldn't tell the difference between his personal interests and the country's interests i don't think he's fit for office and i don't think he has the competence to carry out the job there really isn't any guiding principle that i was able to discern other than what's good for donald trump's reelection on decca by the way. what is interesting is that $100.00 bills what is interesting is that on $100.00 tampa saying that everything in the book is lies there are stories that have been made up to make him look bad on the other hand the department of justice is taking the case to court say there are state secrets here things that john bolton should not be making public so people are saying is there perhaps a conflict there are the allies or are these secrets which one are they which makes

it unlikely that the court is going to rule in favor of blocking this particularly as it's now out there and everywhere but certainly john bolton doesn't come out of this covered in glory either don't remember that congress wanted to speak to him about the allegations that donald trump was using ukraine to help them when reelection by investigating joe biden he was given a subpoena to turn up to one of the committee hearings he said he would decide it would only go if the judge told him he had to do it he kept his own counsel but at the same time he was negotiating a $2000000.00 book deal and that's what we're seeing no what he says that donald trump off he would use foreign policy as a way of getting reelection allan thanks very much talks very soon i'm sure well for more on this let's bring in the host of al-jazeera as the bottom line steve clemons is also at a large for the hill the online political web site he joins us from washington steve welcome to the news hour for you actually the one single most damaging claim

here. if you will is we've got you know that's great the vagaries of skype which we apologize for you steve what's the big takeaway allegation. i think the big takeaway right now on the allocation is what your previous commenter said is that john bolton 'd who is not you know 8 mitt romney he's not a moderate republican he's a punk nations nationalist very much in the same track as donald trump is portrayed himself to be real hard core republican coming out saying the man that caught you know occupies the white house right now is incompetent and should not be there it's a remarkable moment and i think the other dimension to this is you know there are a lot of people angry at john bolton for putting his own financial interests before

testifying before the either house or the senate with regard to the impeachment inquiry but you know if he had appeared in the house and given testimony you know i'm not sure the republicans that follow these matters would necessarily have believed that filter this is one of their heroes on the right saying these comments about president trump and republicans are going to read this and so this is going to i think show new cracks and fissures in what we thought was an impenetrable in unbreakable base that that donald trump has that's why i think the white house is really running scared of this book ok john bolton also says that mr trump had to confirm for him with him rather that finland was not part of russia he was talking about the mass incarceration of muslim we as probably the right thing to do as far as the chinese authorities were concerned and he also allegedly alan fischer i corresponded just touched on this wanted to divert attention away over the killing

of jamal khashoggi in istanbul what 18 months ago now so either donald trump according to this portrayal is completely and utterly out of his depth discuss all he's just somebody doing the job of president. well i think john bolton is making the case something that we have you know sort of saw in the jamal khashoggi case but the chinese weekers is another dimension of it where the president in his deal making in negotiations with other of the world's thugs and autocrats is willing to trade away human lives and to do that for deals that help him out personally so that's that the revelation here are pretty disgusting moments that that john bolton is surfacing and highlighting to show trump's lack of regard for human rights a fraud and really a lack of a moral compass if you will and i think it's a remarkable thing that john bolton of all people is that one blowing the whistle

on these issues on the president he wanted to serve there is some speculation stephen from administration wants bits of the book removed but if you have something from a book on the u.s. media law redacted or extracted you've got to go to court and say yes despite the fact that we want it taken out we accept that it's whatever the taking out parts is is factually accurate and truthful so they kind of making a rod for their own back here. well i think right now that book has been with the white house as i understand it for more than 4 months so they knew what was coming they knew every single word that was coming and and you know they did nothing basically to take the actions that they had that now my understanding is that they did redact some items before that john bolton did not publish and so we have a situation where the administration is failing out at the last moment i have communications from simon and schuster the publisher saying no they will fight this

they're already hundreds of thousands of hard copies that are already out and distributed i also have my electronic copy. of the book so this is a lot like daniel ellsberg and the pentagon papers which the nixon administration couldn't bury they can threaten bolton with jail or prosecuting him but they're not to stop the book is this book potentially more damaging to donald trump's hopes moving forward to the election in 5 and a half 6 months time because this is the the musing the thoughts the the writings of an ideologue somebody who was so front and center with the republican movement as you've already clearly identified he is very very right of center this is not like fire and fury which read like a big magazine article that was basically what it was this book is different. look john bolton's 'd friends i've written a lot about john bolton over the years particularly back in 20042005 when he was

trying to get confirmed as america's ambassador to the united nations where he did did go but under a recess appointment and without the confirmation of the united states senate john bolton hangs out with the far right he hangs out with the puck nation's nationals he hangs out with folks who have had concerns about. the arab world and muslim influence in the u.s. government this is part of a crowd that doll probably spends his time with that's what's unusual people used to consider john bolton a fringe character in the national security establishment. and he became mainstream but so too was donald trump and many of his supporters out of that friendship type that is why i know that that john bolton who is revered by at least a certain and significant segment of republicans out there are he's going to reach them and he's going to say this guy in the white house has no clothes on you know the emperor has no clothes and it's going to have

a different impact than if we had heard the same words in the house of representatives i know i'm saying something controversial but we have not seen donald trump's base move one bit but now i think john bolton has the potential to actually rock that that ship a bit and create some real problems for president trump in a way that no one else no other information has steve good to talk to thanks for coming on precinct in time to be with you. plenty more still to come here on the news hour for you including find out what a new report says about police minorities and discrimination in france and we'll take you to nigeria where years after oil companies polluted the environment people are still waiting for it to be cleaned up. in sports napoli will probably tell you the penalty shootout on a bad night one of. the peter in about 25. it

is one of the biggest challenges of our times people being uprooted from their homes the number has now reached nearly 80000000 says the united nations the highest since records began war persecution and human rights abuses forced millions of people to make a life or death decision every year to stay or to go displacements of nearly doubled over the last 10 years reaching 79500000 people by the end of last year that is one percent of the global population also just 5 countries account for 2 thirds of those displacements syria but as well or afghanistan south sudan and me and. there's no doubt that it is in countries at war that. people be they refugees displaced people but can i say ordinary civilians are more stark risk taking men for example take libya where we continue to work the u.n.

and n.g.o.s continue to work in those countries but our movements are limited cause it has placed another layer of constraints in a situation where already war conflict and violence limits our action. zero's correspondence in and in istanbul in the predominantly syrian neighborhood of. over to you. well peter yes we are in far to the strict of a stumble it's one of the very historical districts in the city and it's a very prominent one and here syrians found it easy to settle down to have a heart because this is a kind of conservative neighborhood that's why it was easy for them to blend then after they moved here and the area this is called multi bazaar multan market where

you have all those shops and everything and here most of the shops are now being rented or owned by the syrians and they have their special restaurants places where they have their origin. bakeries now it is even it has even become a taste for the turks so when they because turks are also getting used to the syrian food food is always a very good sort of power in public diplomacy and you can see many turks also buying from the syrians to vote of course these people have spent a lot of time here to settle down they they in turkey the syrians are not have a refugee status legally they are they have a status called yes because because of the legal situation here and now i have. a syrian friend here his name is a use of our son hard let me introduce you to him and let's listen to his story because he lives in turkey for 6 years and then moved to sweden for his studies

hello you so. and so could you please tell us how how was your life here at home and how it is to be a refugee in turkey and in europe as well right now out of. the g. you're going to get. to help your family and help yourself. but if the government give you some choice if you can war or you can study like europe not like turkey. in europe it's not hard to get a nice life like turkey. to be a regime it's hard to explain actually so you told me before the interview that you have to work here to support your family and you worked for the n.g.o.s so as a refugee what did you try to do for your people syrians living in turkey back at that time actually i 1st to to help our syrian children because they didn't get any studying here in turkey that turkish government they

was looking for they are just sitting in the. only not inside. the area so i try to help our children stories to get to study here and i. enjoy those save the children. and we try to help. so since then when you look at now today do you see a change do you see a change in their life the status of life of the syrians i mean yes absolutely i see it's changed so much not like before when i. was not any story like like syria i see here this area it's being like syria you know in damascus i see the food. everything like just change here that turkey every month they give our to be

able to get the nice lady in turkey. does that tell me where are your parents said so are they with you in sweden or in turkey actually my mother and my sister they are living here in turkey and my dad he's leaving in sweden. come to turkey to resume my family so i'm going to travel tomorrow as well so what is your next but i mean do you want to continue your life in europe in turkey or if everything settles down in syria would you like to go back to your country yes absolutely i want to go to but to syria if everything's going right you nice but syria i think needs more time. and so much time. thank you very much a sense so peter yes there are lots of stories as there are more than 3500000 syrian refugees living in turkey these are dull fishel numbers and each of them has

a different story some of them are positive some of them are negative but what we have noticed says they all wish to or most of them wish to go back to their country if everything is settled and normalize but many of them has lost belief in that because they believe it's going to take time but of course even even some of them have very very good conditions of living in a foreign country at the end of the day they're all refugees they have legal problems and they have also personal problems and being a refugee anywhere in the world must be very difficult to say no thank you very much. iraq has told turkey to pull its troops out of the north of the country and to stop the recent bombing there this week ankara deployed ground forces to iraq and carried out he was targeting kurdish separatists in what is a serious escalation of his decades long conflict against the p.k. k.

bank that said it was a violation of its sovereignty some one of olson is in baghdad she says it's not just the turkish ambassador who's been summoned over northern iraq but the bank that government does have limited options. at the same time the ministry of foreign affairs is also some on that uranium ambassador over similar operations that have gone on in the north and that is quite unusual because iran is a country that is seen as wielding quite a lot of influence over past governments here in iraq and someone in the iranian ambassador is quite a departure from previous foreign policies and it signals that the new prime minister most of them is trying to create some sort of equivalence in treating all of iraq's neighboring countries in the same way insisting that they have to respect iraq's sovereignty now let's remember what happened during these operations we had 2 separate events going on in the northern kurdistan region and one was an attack

by turkey which consisted of both air strikes and the ground incursion and on the iranian border with iraq we also had artillery strikes against an area called in and in fact we heard today that those strikes resulted in at least one civilian casualty as well as other people being injured so some morning they are in an ambassador is quite quite a relevant but also significant step now it remains to be seen how much effect these decisions will actually have because let's remember the dad does not control these areas they're controlled by a semi autonomous kurdish regional government in the north the federal government does not have any troops to really enforce its request that these attacks on northern iraq stop so the diplomatic channel to try to request the neighboring countries to respect iraq's sovereignty is really all that the ministry of foreign affairs here can do but those areas under the control of kurdish parties and those

kurdish parties although they have not officially said so are likely to welcome these operations because they target the p.k. k. and the kurdish authorities are very much also likely to be keen to see the depart from kurdish. arius black people in france face more discrimination than any other minority that's according to a new report by the country's commission for human rights on racism xenophobia and anti semitism the report also says the police must be better trained to handle racist disputes here's natasha butler. mohammed baqir wants answers from the police he wants to know why his 14 year old son and 2 of his friends were arrested accused of stealing kept in custody overnight in paris and released without charge seen here in a video after they released the boy said that during their ordeal they were subject to racial and homophobic abuse one says he was slapped across the face police were searching for a suspect who was one meter tall so why arrest my son who was so much taller they

only stopped him because of his face because the only thing he has common with a suspect is the color of his skin french police have a history of abusive arrests people of african heritage a 20 times more likely to be stopped by police than others from identity check according to france's human rights watchdog campaigners say that officers often act with impunity. the protests over george freud's death in the united states have reignited debate over police racism in france and inspired similar demonstrations calling for justice for adam up for a young molly a man who died in police custody in 2016 this mural in central paris pays tribute to both men tens of thousands of people have taken part in rallies for troy the country. there was the death of george floyd

a death that directly echoed the death of my little brother in france and it must be said what's happening in the united states the exact same thing happens in france today our brothers a dying. this activist says that until friends faces its colonial legacy racism will continue to thrive because. we need a radical change a break with the past and our system which was built on racist foundations linked to colonise ration and slavery. some police officers protested in paris last. weak to say that accusations of racism undermine their all source inability to keep the peace but others say it's time the force was reformed because overthrown for 20 years the police have been increasingly militarized there's a growing divide between the police and the community so what we need is to get everyone around the table to talk to find out what citizens want and need in their police force to feel safe. as in the us generations of people in france

a felt shut out of a system that's supposed to protect them with more anti racism protests planned the hope is the change might come natasha butler al jazeera paris. ok let's stay with that story and bring in the president of the french national consultative commission on human rights john barry joins us from paris welcome to the news hour is your country in denial over racism thank you. in france we cannot say that police is says beds it may have been it may happen to it some police officers would be recist. there is no special action against minority but some control is often done tittie are directed against minority people to a point ok so you're saying there may be some people in the system who are

racist but at points of contact between yes the republican system and this is just it just finished my points are that the principle here is surely there shouldn't be any racism because a point of contact between the republic of the country and people of color france is not color blind to color. yes you know our feeling in france to know the systems of french system is every snow a different communities black people mostly people is only one french company and this french community is made with the total are off of their communities so it's not a system like in in u.k. for example of different lichens us and maybe some

times a there may fail to be honest and to be equal with or people because in some districts stuff some suburbs people are get it in places where you have a drag system. drug users drug dealers and they are appointed to to to ask for control of hidden to t. to more often that it would be necessary but when you talk about just interrupt you for a 2nd size and when you talk about rise issues of identity and therefore issues of equality we're saying the principles of a galaxy and fraternity are not being applied they clearly are not being applied look at the protests we've seen up and down the country over the past week yes beds of protest is dividing form 1st the us situation and

2nd from. an affair. legal situation after a rest and the death of a young man call our man would died after missing by by police that's true but as far as it is. only good affair. pending i can fix chris some feeling about this question because i am an independent body but i cannot express an opinion ok about zz's particular affair understood can i suggest to you that when people like your surrogates bickering understood can i suggest to you that generally people like yourself see another france if you're a white person a white frenchman a woman and you walk around paris you see a white city if you go on public transport if you go on the underground if you ride

the ari are into paris from shoulder goal or li you see a black city you see a black country and that's something that the french have yet to engage with. you're right that's not only true a lot of people working in hospitals. in. this city services are not white people that's true and serves not really mix in the city so you can say i would say class wide and lower class not to white not totally white that's true and it's difficult to to accomplish a real and mix in society because of. the prize stuff they are about. price in different districts and when you go outside the center of primaries you go to

and much more mixed people are mixed population that's true but you know where it's going you have to be aware that it within the french but probably not only in paris are not big cities in within the french but relation more than assert has one of their 4 grandparents outside france born so you know there's a mix is going but it's it's not it's a long way and form to beginnings a mixed was with maybe your pin people and i was coming these people so i was mediterranean and maybe more stars in black africa so it's coming but it's underway you know ok we have to leave it there zamarripa member in paris president of the french national consultative commission great to have your insights on that story

a journalist. ok let's recap the top stories for you here on the news the u.s. supreme court today ruling against the trumpet ministrations efforts to end a program that protects migrant children from deportation there are around 700000 dreamers whose protection will continue president trump a sense lashed out on twitter calling the ruling horrible and politically charged. donald trump has called a tell all book from his former national security advisor john bolton a compilation of lies and made up stories in excerpts released online john bolton alleges mr trump asked foreign leaders including the chinese president xi jinping

or didn't have any policies to try and slow the spread of the coronavirus in britain the within recent months there have been sporting events continuing as usual political rallies in the lead up to a controversial election last month thousands of people are gathered together and so one thing people are waiting to see is if this is going to change under the new leader looking at that ceremony today no sign of change it's all there is no social distancing people sitting next to each other in the stadium hundreds of soldiers parading in a military parade so so far no change of policy there and the other thing people are waiting to see if it will change is during these record on human rights when currencies are particularly in the later part of his 15 year rule is come under widespread criticism for growing reports of political killings torture and crushing of all dissenting voices tens of thousands of rwandans have fled the country journalists rights activists and so on political opposition many of them are in
