8:02 pm
ruling horrible and politically charged and essentially it's an attack on republicans and conservatives let's go live now to mike hanna monitoring the court's rulings for us out of washington might do we think this is ministration might double down on this try to rewrite it and go back to square one. well that is one of the options for the administration's much as a did with the travel ban which was initially overturned by the court for the same reason that it had been by a plea drafted and was and ministry to fully and sound the administration then rewrote that legislation which was passed by the courts so yes that is a possibility the majority decision by chief justice john roberts made very clear that his decision was rooted on the administrative aspect of it not on policy itself a number of the other judges ruled against the policy itself but on the right of the court judges completely rejecting a roberts majority decisions it was
8:03 pm
a very close decision a. $5.00 to $4.00 majority roberts being the defied defining factor but yes it is possible for the administration to try and rewrite this legislation so that it would take months during a period of time in which those who'd be reprieve from sudden deportation are now safe and are celebrating in fact outside the supreme court as i speak but just to continue what they're trying to eat you mentioned he also says about the 2nd amendment rights saying that the supreme court may attack 2nd amendment rights this is to do with the right to own weapons so certainly president trump absolutely furious said this send an earlier supreme court decision however not so the minority leader in the senate this is what chuck schumer had to say. wow what a decision and let me say this. in these very difficult times
8:04 pm
the supreme court provided a bright ray of sunshine this week with a 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 of america does. a number of other major supreme court decisions are due in coming days in particular moves to make trump's finances and tax records public there are 2 cases that the court has reviewed one is from congress and the other is from new york state which is possibly looking
8:05 pm
a criminal proceedings against the trump organization these judgments likely to come in the next few days mike thanks very much. also this half hour another blow for mr trump as he and his administration demands revelations from a former high level staffer this time over more allegations about his dealings with foreign leaders made in a tell all book by his former national security advisor john bolton who quit last year has leaked excerpts from his book to the media in it he's accusing mr trump of asking leaders including the chinese premier xi jinping to help him get reelected this year the $577.00 page book is called the room where it happened and it's got the president lashing out on twitter about this as well 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 pure fiction adding that it was all about bolton trying to get even referring to him as a sick puppy but the speaker of the u.s.
8:06 pm
house nancy pelosi has echoed john bolton's comments saying she too believes he's proven he is unfit to be in the white house president trump is clearly ethically unfit and intellectually unprepared to be the president of the united states that doesn't seem to matter to the republicans and the united states senate didn't fim to matter to john bolton he chose royalty over lot over patriotism live now to the white house and our correspondent who's been turning the pages for us the past couple of hours alan fischer because john bolton is an ideologue of that bits of the party that he engages with alan is it your sense that this might actually get to trump's base they might listen to this. i think is unlikely i mean donald trump approval ratings stay around 4445 percent
8:07 pm
and don't change very much sometimes they go up but it's normally around that level and that is the core of what was the republican party is no the party of trump they believe that he is if not one of them certainly the greatest president in modern times and they will not be swayed by whether john bolton publishes a book and says things about donald trump that they do not like they will believe donald trump's twitter that john bolton is lying and we have from peter navarro his trade emissary just an hour or so ago we caught up with him here on the driveway at the white house and he described this as washington political revenge porn because john bolton had got fired it's interesting some of the things in the book he says that donald trump was unfit for office he said that he catered to the whims of dictators and hard men he looked for support from china to try and win reelection
8:08 pm
in 2020 by buying a lot of farm goods that was eventually built in to the trade deal and it's something that donald trump talks a lot about there is one interesting fact that when he issued a statement in support of mohammed bin summon the de facto leader of sodium arabia at the time of the killing of jamal khashoggi it wasn't because he wanted to show support for the saudi regime it was because the media where reporting that his daughter had been using her own past no e-mail to carry government business which of course is exactly what donald trump said hillary clinton should be locked up for so everything was done through the prism of what would help donald trump and possibly help his reelection the leaks of the extracts were timed that john bolton has done an interview which will air prime time time here in the united states on sunday evening we got a little glimpse of that on the morning shows this morning and john bolton says
8:09 pm
that donald trump is not fit to be president the position he's held for almost 4 years. the dent 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 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. so you've told people what donald trump has said i've told you what peter navarro has said i can also tell you that the press secretary is saying that john bolton's book contains classified information that's the argument that the administration is taking to the courts they're trying to block john bolton's publication but the reality is that
8:10 pm
because no new york i've got a digital copy that i've been working my way through i've seen several hard copies of that it's on its way to stores around the world to hit the shelves on tuesday the court is expected to have a hearing on friday and it's very rare that they will grant an injunction to stop the book the other thing is most of the big news is already oh it was in the extracts that were published it's been in the reports that we've cut it is there were the things that i've been telling you as well so it's unlikely that it's going to be stopped so that means that john bolton will become another member of the trumpet ministration who has left in close circumstances can we say and there's then going on to publish a book and all of them have the same theme running through them that donald trump is mchugh deal doesn't think things through acts on instinct rather than looking at policy but the john borton book is more damning and that will annoy rip the democrats because of course they asked him to give evidence when they were
8:11 pm
impeaching donald trump he used a legal maneuver to stop that instead he signed a book deal for a reported 2000000 $1000000.00 and all his secrets in a book rather than report them to congress as he was asked alan thank you very much . black people in france face more discrimination than any other minority that's according to a report by the country's commission for human rights on racism xenophobia and anti semitism the report also says the police must do better training to handle racist disputes natascha but as more. 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 like police
8:12 pm
were searching for a suspect who was one meters 60 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 in common with the suspect is the color of his skin french police have a history of abusive arrests young people of african heritage a 20 times more likely to be stopped by police and 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 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 in the country. just like there was the death of george floyd
8:13 pm
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 france faces its colonial legacy. we 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 colonize asian and slavery. some police offices protested in paris last week to say that accusations of racism undermine that all source inability to keep the peace but others say it's time the force was reformed the council. 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

8:15 pm
friday looks like a another rather a windy day but hopefully as we go on through the day those winds will be less in the way of lift the dust the sand temperatures here in doha with that northwest becoming impact back to around 38 celsius 100 in found hi there we go the showers further north will continue across a good part of turkey but elsewhere it is pretty much hot sunshine all the way hot sunshine too across northern africa maybe a little bit a fair weather cloud northern parts of algeria northern areas of morocco but i'm not expecting to see too much in the way of any significant rainfall coming in unless the wetter weather the significant rain that's going to be down across central africa the seasonal rays doing very nicely but they say in this race pushing up across the sierra leone making the way into guinea southern parts of mali saying some showers as well in the showers of course they stretch their way right through central africa pushing all the way across into the ethiopian highlands for southern africa where it is generally trial the eastern cape will see

8:17 pm
you're watching al jazeera live from doha your top stories this hour the u.s. supreme court has ruled against the trumpet ministrations efforts to end a program that protects microfilter and from deportation there are around 700000 so-called criminals whose protection will continue president from percents lashed out on twitter calling the ruling a horrible and politically charged. donald trump was called a tell all book from his former national security advisor a compilation of lies and made up stories in excerpts released john bolton alleges trump asked foreign leaders including china's president helped him to get reelected . a report by france's human rights commission says black people face more discrimination in the country than any other minority and the police need better training to deal with racist disputes. the french president's emanuel mccraw is on his 1st overseas trip since the corona virus outbreak he's in the u.k.
8:18 pm
to mark the 80th anniversary of shelter goals appeal to the french people to resist nazi occupation which he made from exile in london the british prime minister boris johnson welcomes the president to downing street for a private meeting earlier along with prince charles michael laid a wreath at a statue of decor iraq has told turkey to pull its troops out of the north of the country and to stop the recent bombing this week ankara deployed 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 holton is in baghdad and says it's not just the turkish ambassador who's been summoned over northern iraq but that the baghdad government does have limited options. at the same time the ministry of foreign affairs is also someone that uranian ambassador over similar operations that have
8:19 pm
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
8:20 pm
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 areas. during his new president in just jimmy has been sworn into office he was declared the winner of the elections last month he takes office more

8:22 pm
are waiting to see if it will change is through in these record on human rights in currencies are 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 are indians have fled the country journalists rights activists and so on political opposition many of them are in exile and now everything 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. it's now been nearly 10 years since the u.n. called for a major cleanup in nigeria's niger delta but a new report says little has been done decades of oil spills. of course we had damage to the delta in 2011 the un said the cleanup could take 30 years and cost a $1000000000.00 up to $40000000.00 people face major health risks because of
