already 30 action these is the moment of course and straight on fighting we meet with global news makers the stories the old does era save humanity i really really not getting anywhere near it. a landmark ruling from the u.s. supreme court going against donald trump and allowing young undocumented immigrants to remain in the united states. hello again i'm peter dhabi you're watching al-jazeera live from also coming up damning revelations about donald trump from his former national security adviser and a tell all book. a new report on racism and xenophobia in france finds that black

people face increasing levels of discrimination. major oil companies and nigeria's governments are accused of not doing enough to clean up oil spills putting thousands of lives at risk. we begin in the united states where the u.s. supreme court has dealt another setback to the white house this time in a case involving young migrants now the court rejected the administration's efforts to end a program shielding young undocumented immigrants from deportation is known as dhaka deferred action for childhood arrivals there are around $700000.00 so-called dreamers who were brought to the u.s. as children who can now 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 mr trump's tax returns and other financial records let's go live

now to mike hanna who's monitoring the supreme court rulings for us from washington d.c. so mike 1st off with the dreamer's situation does this mean that they can stay indefinitely . well it means that they are safe from deportation for a period of time let me explain that the decision was a 54 decision the swing vote on it was the chief justice john roberts now he made very clear in his decision that this is not about the policy it is about administrative failures by the administration in terms of drafting the legislation so in possibly the lawyers could read draft the legislation go back to the court but that would take a long period of time and in that period of time those some 702800000 people are safe from deportation for the foreseeable future a very significant decision indeed particularly with the position adopted by the

chief justice who clearly is going to be a swing vote in a number of these decisions you had 4 conservative leaning judges on one side and 4 more moderate judges with john roberts on the other now president trump has reacted exceedingly angry in an extraordinary tweet he's just said terrible awful double standard outrageous he is basically saying that the court is against him very strange thing from a sitting president to say however the minority leader in the senate was beat this is what chuck schumer had to say wow what a decision and let me say this in these very difficult times the supreme court provided a bright ray of sunshine this week with the decision on monday preventing discrimination in employment against the old g b

t q community and now with this darker decision to me frankly the court's decisions were surprising but welcome and gives you some faith. that the laws and rules and mores of this country can be upheld wow decisions amazing i am so happy he's kids their families i feel for them and i think all the america does. big decision clearly mike to wow someone amazing there from chuck schumer we might get on the president's tax returns perhaps as well from the supreme court. indeed yes well there are 2 separate cases that the supreme court is considering one was brought by congress which had subpoenaed president trumps financial records and tax records during the impeachment process and before that the other case is from

a new york state attorney general which has been requesting of president trump's financial records for a long period of time in terms of other matters before that particular court so these are 2 separate issues most observers believe that the court is likely to push away congress's request arguing that a sitting president can be above prosecution however the new york state court is something completely different these are actions before president trump came to office and they are also actions that could constitute a crime we don't know when these judgments are going to be handed down we were expecting in the course of the day but certainly this will be another major test of the supreme court in the days ahead ok mike we'll leave it there many thanks mike our correspondent in washington well as the supreme court ruling was released mr trump and his administration were scrambling to react to revelations from a former high level staffer in his usual style mr trump has been highly defensive

this time over more allegations about his dealings with foreign leaders made him a tell all book from his former national security adviser john bolton who quit last year as leaked excerpts from his book to the media in it he's accusing mr trump of asking leaders including the chinese president xi jinping to help him get reelected this year november the 3rd of course the election in the states now 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 quote pure fiction he added that it was all about john bolton trying to get even referring to him mr bolton as a sick puppy ellen fisher has been following the story since it broke he joins us from the white house allan a bit of a page turner was the best bit you got to so far.

the interesting thing that strikes me as i'm going through it going through reasonably quickly you know this book is out there it's been shipped around the world the shelves on tuesday journalists have got digital copies of seen a few journalists walking around with hard copies of this so if the white house's view is to try and stop this they're not going to be overly successful but the reality is most of the big lines came out in the news extracts that we saw yesterday in the article that john bolton themself wrote for the wall street journal it is that he tried to get china to intervene to try and help on the 2020 election by buying a lot of farm goods the fact that he tried to do favors for the turkish president and also the chinese president by reversing criminal charges against companies that they expressed an interest then there's an interesting take that he sent out a tweet in support of mohammed bin solomon the de facto leader of saudi arabia

because he thought that expressing support during his time of the jamal khashoggi murder would detract from investigations into trump his daughter using her personal e-mail to conduct government business the exact same thing that he called for hillary clinton to be jailed for doing so all of that is coming out now i've just seen peter navarro who is donald trump's trade advisor he's been in the white house know for almost 4 years just asked him what he thought of the book he called this book deal bolton and said it was essentially washington political revenge porn john bolton obviously was handpicked by donald trump as national security advisor at this point his longest set of national security advisor peter navarro said he begged for the job done. trump said he was happy to fight him because no one liked

him what's john bolton saying well he's done a primetime interview which will air on one of the american networks and sunday but in this the preview on one of their morning shows in the last few hours we find out that john bolton doesn't think that donald trump is capable of being president of the united states the job he's had for almost the last 4 years. 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 answer interests i don't think he's fit for office so 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. now that's a pretty damning assessment but it also fits into a pattern of people who have been at the white house like jim mattis who is the

defense secretary who've written books and questioned whether or not donald trump is capable of being president what's the white house doing about it while the department of justice is going to court there's a problem though with their argument on one hand they are saying that there is classified information in this book and john bolton broke the law by putting it in the review process wasn't done and therefore the book should be recalled that's not going to happen but we also have donald trump saying the book is full of lies and made up stories so the judges may well say well what is it is that a lot of lies or is there classified information in here whatever happens john bolton is june to hit the book shelves on tuesday he of course was called to give evidence when congress was carrying it is impeachment hearings and he used some political movers so he didn't give evidence instead things that would have been very relevant to that investigation has revealed in the book that he was paid a reported $2000000.00 to right allan thanks very much we'll talk to you later alan

fischer white house correspondent. it's been nearly 10 years since the un called for major cleanup in one area is niger delta but a new report says little has actually been done decades of oil spills of course severe damage the delta in 2011 the u.n. said the cleanup could take 30 years and cost a $1000000000.00 up to $40000000.00 people face major health risks because of contamination to agricultural land fisheries and drinking water across the delta the region has also seen a rise in infant mortality the study also found un backed emergency measures on water and health protection have not been implemented properly investigation by pressure groups including friends of the earth and amnesty found cleanup work had only begun on 11 percent of the contaminated sites in a statement shell petroleum nigeria which. operates in the niger delta said this this report fails to recognize that the majority of the un environment programmes recommendations need multi-stakeholder efforts coordinated by the federal

government of nigeria and that shell has acted on all recommendations directed to it in the un e.p.a. report we continue they went on to actively support the clean up process along with other stakeholders and is a member of the b elsa state oil and environment commission a group set up by the archbishop of york to investigates oil spills in the niger delta she says the environmental fallout continues to have a negative impact on local communities what more just change the minds of those that were here last and of course the more so mum was not surprised and i think the reason a lot of want to go whoa there is a lot of make packing change things on the ground and i don't want i'm in the meantime but people who are the police for all those losses on the phone i mean when i don't know what is one area where no one on. ah the one that or

east. completely there was there you can the lives of the people the evidence is there. what ought to be there have been more confidently there are cases here and that was even called informing through the jones well we didn't try to access just needs to get some form of memory in the form of compensation but what if you unfortunately it never really completely captures the enormity of the damage that has been done but more importantly the environment it's not have never really had any attention away from it so run it news on us we know it in the west in the white house and don't know what happened in the mind of the house or you have so much to believe that nothing like it's here 'd but basically about got to know pops law the i ching we. really you know environments like that in the closest thing it will again is not happening on the back of the bottom but people in france face more

discrimination than any other minority according to the national commission for human rights annual report on racism xenophobia and anti semitism found that although people of african descent are one of the most accepted minorities they are often the most marginalized france maintains that achieving a quality is one of its principal values the french president emmanuel micro as on his 1st overseas trip since the coronavirus outbreak he's meeting the british prime minister boris johnson in london the leaders are expected to discuss privately the covert $1000.00 response and offer for exit the u.k. and the e.u. have until the end of the year to agree on a trade deal but little progress has been made so far earlier with prince charles to show macron placed a wreath at the statue of the french world war 2 leader shot at all. still to come here on al-jazeera sworn in 2 months early new president takes office following the sudden death of his predecessor. the

tokyo south of the front it's generate dry because the usual showers across southeast asia we got the usual showers there into the philippines and stretch the way down across a good part of the region this is the same in bangkok where we see some very heavy rainfall and there has as usual all lead to a little bit of localized flooding in and around the city bunny a shallow as continue across the region as we go on through friday plenty of showers to it's a good parts of south asia now the monsoon rains doing very nicely the western ghats continue to see some heavy downpours every damn post to pushing into myanmar the northeast of india i'd also with us. to use their own. let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen we listen this is the moment to stop all military action this is the moment to concentrate on fighting. meet with global news makers and talk

about the stories that. does their own. unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from on london broadcast. on al-jazeera. ok let's remind you of your top stories so far today the u.s. supreme court has ruled against the trumpet ministrations efforts to end a program that protects migrant children from deportation the president has lashed out on twitter calling the ruling quote horrible. donald trump has called a tell all book by his former national security advisor john bolton

a compilation of lies and made up stories mr bolton says mr trump asked the chinese president xi jinping to help him to get reelected. almost 10 years after the u.n. call for a major cleanup in nigeria's niger delta a new report finds little has actually been done decades of oil spills of course we're damaged and in 2011 you enter the cleanup could take 30 years and cost $1000000000.00. now iraq has told turkey to pull its forces out of the north of the country and to stop its recent bombing this week and could deploy ground forces to iraq and carried out airstrikes turkey was targeting kurdish separatists in a serious escalation of its decades long conflict against the p.k. k. baghdad said it was a violation of its sovereignty simona fulton's in baghdad she says it's not just the turkish ambassador who's been summoned over northern iraq but also with the baghdad 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 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 china's top decision making body is considering

a draft of hong kong's controversial security bill that has been widely criticized the standing committee of the national people's congress is reviewing the bill that it failed to pass in hong kong's legislature because of strong opposition legislation that sparked a new wave of pro-democracy protests when it was announced in may its view of the law will curb freedoms in hong kong something new so it seems have dismissed katrina you reports now from beijing well we do know that it's more surveyed essentially by beijing's prostrations and embarrassment following these pro-democracy anti-government protests that have been taking place in hong kong since last june beijing firmly believes that these are a source of instability in the threats to the region's prosperity they also believe that they're being fueled by forces intent on splitting hong kong from the mainland now critics would say simply it's beijing's way of taking matters into its or in hands because anti government voices in hong kong are simply getting too loud now essentially what would happen with this law is that it would be inserted in hong

kong's mini constitution its basic law while completely bypassing the usual legislative process in hong kong now we know that china's national people's congress the standing committee which is the top legislative body in beijing discussed this law today on thursday and they defined 4 separate crimes under this national security law which are separatist activity terrorism colluding with foreign forces and also the state subversion and they also apparently discussed punishments for these individual crimes now we are yet to hear any specific details on this but analysts believe that this war will essentially take hong kong one step closer to being like any other chinese mainland province in the sense that any criticism of beijing is likely to be censored or severely punished. the reindeers new president. shammy has been sworn in he was declared winner of last month's election he takes office more than 2 months early after the sudden death of

president coroners ease up on webb has more now from nairobi. where everything going to me was thrown in at a ceremony in a football stadium in the capital reason is being sworn in now is following the sudden death of his predecessor pierre currencies who died last week the government said he died from a heart attack although many people believe he actually died from a coded 19 known quinsey that didn't have any policies to try and slow the spread of the coronavirus indrani within recent months there have been supporting 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 at 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 through in these record on human rights in currencies particularly in the later part of a 15 year rule that's 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 exile and now everest in de chaumié has been a key player in the ruling party the ruling party which is responsible for a lot of these things that people are waiting to see if his new leadership will amount to any kind of change of direction or not. argentina is expected to extend restrictions around the capital as the coronavirus infection rates continue to rise the bulk of new infections are being detected around the capital going osiris. latin america is currently the epicenter of the global pandemic but so far has weathered the pandemic better than many of its neighbors

people infected so far but there's been a surge in cases in the past few days and that's why the government is rethinking its strategy and its reconsidering extending the scene once again precedent had a man this has gone on voluntary isolation because several politicians among argentina's political at least has tested positive his popularity has been on the rise because of his handling of the pandemic however is argentina economic situation that has many people worried here argentina is on technical default right now it's still negotiating with private creditors there's double digit inflation and recession. while staying in south america health care workers in through have been protesting against a lack of protective equipment they are facing one of the worst rates of covert 19 in south america the government has rushed to do more testing and to build makeshift hospitals but many say it's still not doing enough to protect frontline
