daca is an a bomb era program that rouse hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children to live and work legally or truck derided the ruling as quote shotgun blasts in the face of people that are proud to call themselves republicans or conservatives. trump is also under pressure over revelations in a memoir from his former national security adviser john bolton alleges that trump pleaded for help from china to win reelection let's go live now to she have a tansey in washington d.c. and she has what's been the reaction there to the news about daca. a number of stucco recipients did gather outside the supreme court to register the enormous relief the surprise given the given the makeup of the supreme court but also their determination that this isn't over this isn't just about dark out for them it's about the long struggle for a pathway to citizenship for all $11000000.00 undocumented in the u.s. and even with dhaka dhaka recipients still it's sort of in limbo because this is
12:03 am
just an executive order signed by president obama this wasn't legislation giving them giving them a path to citizenship that's that weighs heavily on their minds the fact that this was simply a rejection of trump policy based on perceived drool matters that the supreme court saying that ministration may have the right to to to end up with a way that they did it cut corners they didn't give enough reason as to why they were doing it what they what the 700000 people 640000 people who are allowed this will do now and given that this is an executive order doesn't even have to go through the same process he went through last time he could just add another executive order reversing it it's unlikely he will do that because there isn't much appetite amongst republicans in congress in particular to deal with the reality of deporting 650700000 people who are so much part of america during an election year as well but this idea that it was an executive order weighs heavily weight heavily on many people we spoke to said look it's all very well for chuck schumer the
12:04 am
senate majority minority leader to be so being away in has been a quote that's been widely seen and barack obama tweeting him to his relief that the supreme court has has acted in this way but as far as they're concerned that the problem they were the problem when obama was president when the democrats had both houses of congress they didn't pass the decision to give dockery's. people and other undocumented migrants a part way to citizenship and obama himself was known as the deporter in chief because of the record number of people he deported. for us in the immigration community obama was supposed to be hope but what he did in his administration was deport so many of our people and with that kind of push that deportation is ok or it's an option and yes he gave us doc but that that's nothing that is protection for now but we need path to citizenship and doctor does not give that
12:05 am
among the many tweets relating to this decision to all drugs this one do you get the impression that the supreme court doesn't like me which is particular point because this is one of several set bugs the drug administration has had earlier in the week there was the ruling retaining employment rights for the old g b t q plus community but they're also expecting a decision in the coming weeks on whether a new york prosecutor whether a house committee can get their hands on donald trump's financial records and that was indication at least in in the hearing that that happened a few weeks ago that the justices may be leaning towards at least the new york prosecutor getting his hands on i'm told trump's financial records during an election year so that would be very interesting there is one other development just in the last few hours of the trump campaign has fallen afoul of facebook's rules on the organization of hate. the trump campaign released a facebook post that used that up inverted triangle red triangle which they had
12:06 am
a defamation league and others have pointed out was the way that hitler would denote political prisoners in concentration camps this got through to facebook facebook has taken those downs are another setback for trouble but you get you get the impression that. the supreme court rulings the bolton book that will become more red meat for trumpet especially if it is a big rally and tulsa oklahoma on saturday chambre tons of thank you very much indeed. well president trump says revelations in a new book from his former national security adviser are pure fiction john bolton you quit last year says the president is not fit for office and is obsessed by his reelection the white house has tried to block the book's publication claiming it's a threat to national security and fisher has more. from the white house a mixed reaction to the impending release of the john bolton book from the president a tweet bolton's book which is getting terrible reviews is a compilation of lies and made up stories all intended to make me look but from his
12:07 am
press secretary a different approach the book is full of classified information he is. a misguided hawk on foreign policy and a week of an author and this is despicable that he chose to publish this book without fully going through the review process when it promised top treated visor a personal attack by the us it's the washington swamps equivalent of revenge porn he got fired because he did not obey the chain of command because his views were totally out of sync with the president down jay trump with respect to how to how to handle international fairs john bolton's been working on the book for months the president's long serving handpicked national security adviser was present during key moments of the trump presidency the summit with north korea and singapore the meeting with russian president vladimir putin in finland g 7 g 20 and nato gatherings around the world bolton says trump is easily flattered by authoritarian leaders who try to manipulate him and america's strategic interests are less
12:08 am
important than winning reelection in a longer interview to iran american t.v. this weekend he says donald trump isn't fit to be president 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 bolton was called to give evidence from congress held impeachment hearings for donald trump he took legal steps to avoid doing that the democratic leader of the house of representatives says he's no hero telling his stories no president trump is clearly ethically and set and unprepared to be the president of the united states that doesn't seem to matter. to the republicans in the united states senate didn't fim to matter to john bolton he chose royalty over lot over patriotism the trumpet ministration is taking legal action to stop publication of the book which is due to hit the shelves on tuesday
12:09 am
but there are many copies already in circulation and it's rare for the court to issue such injunctions in the next few weeks another book on trump is expected to be published it's written by his niece who is also a psychologist and it's expected also to be highly critical of the president alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house. second want to look at the challenges facing donald trump joining me is peter mathews a professor of political science at cypress college in california thanks very much for being with us so the number of such acts as we've alluded to there for the trumps 2 supreme court rulings yet symond and the allegations in the bolton book just to start off with a bottom but what would you say is most damaging that's come out of that it certainly seems that when it rains of course definitely getting a lot of rain on a row was damaging is that bolton who was certain many ministration of the republican mistreatment starting with president reagan he's got some credibility he
12:10 am
was the one about the reviews as was feared by the truck so what his claims made there were made the most remarkable one was that he asked the chinese leader president xi to help them with the real action by pursuing a certain policy please buy some more we've been talking to my farmers the midwest in other words i can get the electoral college votes that is a clear violation of the spirit the law of keeping foreign influence out of our elections it was in the actual letter belonging to violent spirit who are that's that's very damaging and many people what i see that will hurt in the middle of the road might swing against from being spent some of these allegations well as many of the really remarkable ones so mention of the middle road possibly swinging tim what about any republican say lucky to turn against him with any of these revelations. yes there are certain republican back these are some political action committees are doing. ads against frozen trump and these are the never trump republicans the ones who believe in him or same the republican approach to politics to foreign
12:11 am
policy especially and then he was president just completely out of his league and incompetent in running the country's domestic and foreign policy and these republicans have come out against him and they are campaigning against him i think this book just adds more fuel to the fire what about the relationship with pompei that emerges in the book i mean it seems as though there is although they have a can the united front in public according to bolten they quite read to about trump behind his back is any he certainly going to the allegation of bolton is true that passed him a note saying that trump is full of our wants it were on t.v. but you know what i'm talking about then it's pretty remarkable that the sec of state who pretends or acts to be in unity present from a cowardly is saying these things about him behind his back and other people started to according to both of these kind of negative derogatory remarks about the programs capabilities around the country and being interested in government not interested government what about just briefly on the staying on the bolton what how difficult is it for them to argue that on the one hand this is classified stuff so
12:12 am
it would not be published but on the other hand it's not true. quite paradoxical isn't it but the supreme court ruled on like the issue any kind of prior restraint order on stopping the book because that's an asmer to freedom of speech and bureaucrats and i believe that it sounds contradictory when they say you stop this publication of national security information there and then oh it's not really true is lying about being this is a bunch of nonsense so they are trying to have it both ways and it's not going to work with most of the public especially those voters in those swing states who might go the other way and tell me about the supreme court ruling this latest one on the dream is how much of a political effect will that have on trump. that's a very good fact we've got a lot of central quietus to basically stop the dreamers from becoming from having safety in this country they were born they were not born here big grew up here and their families brought them here without them even knowing and these are really like american citizens and trouble is adamant to show us what these people you're
12:13 am
you know while immigrants coming in including undocumented workers and this is one of his key plans to build a wall and this ruling of the court in which to be appointees are is on the user mind you it's quite remarkable against his principle this particular egregious principle of keeping these young people from having a real life so it's a big it's a big blow in my view and let's see how it goes from now on peter mathews or professor because matthew thank you very much indeed for joining us my pleasure thank you still to come on the al-jazeera news out protecting argentina's most vulnerable how the country is bucking the latin american trend and controlling the coronavirus. rindy has a new president after a constitutional crisis caused by the death of his predecessor. and a top human being more praise for the manchester united player who's helping to feed ownable children.

iraq has told turkey to pull its troops out of the north of the country and to stop bombing it comes up to turkey deployed ground troops and carried out air strikes on kurdistan workers party or p.k. k. targets on sunday and tuesday iraq's foreign ministry summoned the turkish ambassador on thursday saying it was a violation of sovereignty and marks a serious escalation of its decades long conflict against be k.k. often focused on kurdish areas in southeastern turkey so wonderful to he is in baghdad and says it's not just the turkish ambassador who's been summoned. at the same time the ministry of foreign affairs is also someone to the iranian 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
12:15 am
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
12:16 am
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. al qaeda has confirmed the death of its north africa chief of dead malik took to earlier this month france said its military killed him and several of his close allies during an operation in mali french forces have been hunting him for more than 7 years argentina is expected to extend coronavirus restrictions near the capital as most of the country's new infections

the u.n. human rights council is considering a draft resolution that could lead to a probe into human rights abuses in libya it's already backed by the head of the un's support mission in libya and the tripoli based government for diplomatic editor james bass has this report. what about the un human rights council meeting in geneva to discuss setting up a new fact finding mission that would investigate abuses in libya since 2016 it's a proposal supported by the senior u.n. official in libya i agree that it human rights council mandate to establish an investigative mechanism would be both the simplest and strongest basis for promoting much needed accountability in libya given the ongoing series violations occur in every day in the country the establishment of such a mechanism would be important while the human rights council met in geneva libya was also being discussed by the un security council at

12:34 am
restrictions remain in place a fokker reports from london. expect rules and regulations if and when british bars and restaurants reopen next month the industry thrives on bringing people together but it's now carefully considering how to keep people apart and the difference between one meter or 2 meter distancing rules could cost british businesses millions in lost profits were there to meet a rule our capacity would be to reduce dramatically and in some instances. would be up to 80 percent of normal trade because they're really small and this location where it's bigger it less impact but want me to rule out as a straight bars with less of an impact the industry accounting for 3 and a half 1000000 jobs is now clamoring for clarity all want to expect and when the difference between 2 metres in one meeting is the difference between success and failure if the restart and recovery of all many of our business it is the

difference between having a fighting chance and having to remain closed and some of them may never reopened they remain closed much longer you can use one of several countries to adopt the 2 metre guidelines spain and canada have done it to other countries in europe including germany and the netherlands advice staying a metre and a half a part of the world health organization say that the safety distance should be around a meter that's being followed by france and china when it comes a balance of the health of the economy with public health as very little margin of error. last month the british government's chief scientific advisor so the risk of catching covert 19 is between $10.30 times higher while meter from an infected person then it is 2 metres these warnings have worried the public and power lies the prime minister boris johnson over what to do next 40000 deaths and soaring

unemployment have dented confidence in the government it has to get social distancing right. risk a 2nd spike in infections but medical experts say it's an imperfect science to be honest we just don't know. we don't know what the bottom of all this which is most effective and of course it's a balance it's not just the distance that we have between us it's the amount of time that we spend with other people as well and what other protection we might use including masks in some instances. retailers have been tentatively reopening across the country adapting their stores to abide by government guidelines question still remain on how distancing rules will apply to schools when the face to face teaching returns as the world awaits a vaccine the government says is looking for a margin to maneuver the market al-jazeera london or on the economic impact of a pandemic i'm joined by a matter fund will a chief executive of the new economics foundation thanks very much for being with
12:37 am
us so just to pick up on that to me to rule or distancing in the u.k. lots of focus on it a particular on the from the hospitality sector saying that it makes it very difficult for them to reopen in a way that's kind of that that makes them any money how economically what difference does it actually make. well i think it makes quite a big difference for certain sectors hospitality retail because in the end the number of people you can get in your premises the more demand all have have your products the more you'll sell and more profitable profitable you'll be so without a doubt the difference between 2 metres and one meters is an issue i suspect that the governments have come under quite a lot of pressure to respond and it can be quite hard for them not to shift not least because the. world health organization is a recommendation is one meter other countries are operating on one meter the big question will be if they do move to one meter it does increase the risk of
12:38 am
infection so what are the other things they're going to do to mitigate that risk so on that i mean they've admitted today that the track and trace app or their said that isn't there now isn't a date for when that's going to be ready how difficult does it make the decision to change social distancing guidelines if that isn't available. i think they're going to have to move because they are you know desperate to gradually ease the lock down they've eased it in terms of retail and shops are allowed to open the next milestone is allowing restaurants bars hospitality to kind of open up so i suspect the politics all play out the government is having to balance public health and the economics of this and you know the prospect of losing huge amounts of job in hospitality which is a big employer i think will focus the government's mind but what you know is this is such
12:39 am
a balancing act we're not out of the peak yet and say the government moves too quickly or moves in it doesn't have other things in place to mitigate critically a proper system of testing tracking that would make it possible to ease restrictions while containing the virus does not get that right and it risks a 2nd peak a 2nd spite that impact not just on lies but on the economy will be absolutely profound so is what is why is there such a big fear from economists of a double lock down that if you kind of come out and then go back into lockdown that somehow worse than the than just having one locked down what's the what's the big issue with the double locked out. well i think. you know it's quite unprecedented for the government had said to shut down the economy and if you imagine the number of businesses that are just holding on by a thread to get through this you start easing aren't they bring their workers back in they start operating and then the idea that you just shut it all down again

within a matter of months would be completely destructive and destabilizing for those businesses who would just be starting to get back on their feet and so i think that fear. is really really really dangerous and you know the economy has taken an absolute pounding we're seeing the deepest contraction in the economy globally since the great depression the more we have the stop and start the harder it is to gear up the economy and start moving and so the bill if it's just contain the virus so that we can have some level of economic activity and start thinking about how do you rebuild and you know rebuild in a way that's better is absolutely the priority better funded i thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you and yemen's foreign ministers had a virtual meeting with the british minister of state for the middle east and north africa james cleverly held virtual discussions with mohamed atta drummy focused on

and some journalists are saying they might well quit the profession rather than remaining as a journalist we heard also of course on thursday from the g 7 foreign ministers the foreign ministers representing the advanced economies of the world they urged china to rethink this security law that call has been ignored but they also pointed out and it's important to to mention this the by doing this china is breaching not just hong kong's basic law the mini constitution the lure of hong kong but also breaching the joint declaration that's the deal that britain and china signed before the handover in 1997 a legally binding deal that's been lodged with the united nations now it's not just journalist groups who are worried i've been hearing from others who are also concerned about what the future holds continue has more from beijing on what's
