online. this is g.w. newsmonger from berlin tonight a legal win for u.s. president donald trump's controversial travel ban on immigrants. is a great victory for our constitution. we have to be tough and we have to be safe and we have to be secure. u.s. president hills a supreme court decision to uphold his travel ban on several muslim majority countries will get more from the u.s. capitol also coming up malta says it will accept a migrant rescue ship which it previously turned away as several european countries

agreed to take a share of the two hundred migrants on board yet passengers on the ship say they've heard nothing about reaching dry land. and a fast and furious climax to one of the world cup's most unpredictable groups argentina hit nigeria at the pose for a spot in the last sixteen you know messi scores his first goal of the tournaments to spare his country a humiliating exit. off it's good to have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump is celebrating a major victory comes after the supreme court upheld his travel ban blocking people from several mostly muslim countries from entering the u.s. in his ruling the court did not mention claims of discrimination against muslims

despite opposition from lower courts and for much of the american public. watch for critics of the travel ban had hoped until the last minute that it wouldn't stand up in the highest court of law but that hype was dashed and replaced by shock and frustration but i am out here and they scream and shout. after months of legal wrangling the u.s. supreme court rejected the challenge that the travel ban discriminated against muslims the crowd here don't buy it back supreme court of the united states has just given a green light to donald trump's the logistics company and it's giving him the green light to discriminate against a group of people based on their faith wherever and whenever he chooses.

their missions are running high today my heart broken. taking so much in me to hold back here but i want to cry. and it's not only muslims who are protesting the ruling. the jewish community seeing that type of bio scapegoating and doing who really is a shame before and we must say we will resist and raise our voices now. democratic politicians also rush to condemn the ruling as did the supreme court justices who voted against it the court was deeply divided over the issue but the conservative majority determined the result in a five to four decision trump called it a moment of profound vindication for us policy and said it's necessary to protect this country we have to be safe that we have to be secure. the minimum we have to

ensure that we let people coming into the country we know who's coming years. we know where they're coming from. you just have to know it's coming year old his controversial policy has been watered down since it was first announced donald trump has reason to celebrate the cool trolling is handed to him one of the biggest make to raise of this presidency. where we want to hear now from one of the communities affected by the ban i'm joined by trita parsi standing by in our world washington studio he is the founder and president of the national iranian american council it's good to have you on the show i want to ask you what were your initial thoughts when you heard the ruling by the u.s. supreme court i was not surprised having seen how the court had reasons on similar situations it was quite clear that the philosophy of this specific supreme court with this specific political tilt would not likely shoot

down donald trump's travel ban but i think it's also important to understand that the opposition to that ban doesn't just follow one path there is a legal path through the courts and that path has now come to its conclusion but the legislative path has not even begun yet and that's an effort to block this ban through congressional action and that's half remains quite open and has a much higher likelihood of success and mr burr as you talk to me a little bit about help his travel ban affects people maybe who you know or iranians who would like to come to the u.s. . all this is had a devastating impact on the iranian american community is roughly one million people in this country a very. strong community has contributed tremendously it's in and out of states almost all of them have families and other contacts in iran many of them travel

back there many of their relatives come sit in ited states and now they're all treated as second class citizens because a simple ban has been put on them not based on any specific security concerns but just with a broad conclusion that if you are from a specific country you are by the finish and a security concern and this is why this ban was being challenged that this is a band that actually is discriminatory and not particularly effective to begin with do you agree that the u.s. like all other countries has the right to determine who may or may not enter its country its borders. certainly any country has the right to determine who can and cannot come in but within that statement as you ask it's also focused on singular individuals that's not what this ban does this ban puts a blanket prohibition against people specifically if they are of certain countries

even the u.s. government's own internal investigations or studies show that that does absolutely nothing to enhance security because nationality is not a good predictor of whether you are going to be committing an act of terrorism in fact when you take a look at these different countries at least original list of countries not a single citizen of those countries had committed any acts of terrorism in the united states with a lethal outcome so this is much more a politically more motivated band that is based on him trying to impose something on muslim countries and doesn't cause a big disruption to u.s. relations if you take a look at these countries are all countries that have bad relations with the u.s. he did not include saudi arabia that produced fifteen of the nineteen terrorists that attacked the united states on nine eleven because saudi arabia is an ally of the united states so this has nothing to do with secured this is nothing to do about protecting the country this is completely politically motivated seems to have

a bigoted foundation and unfortunately today the court essentially ruled that even a band of that kind would be able to stand according to their interpretation of the constitution truth of course the president of the national really an american council joining us tonight from washington mr porson we appreciate your time tonight thank you. thank you for having. we're turning now to the challenges of migration here in europe malta says that it will allow a rescue ship carrying hundreds of migrants to dock it previously joined italy in turning that boat away with a change of heart comes after several european countries agreed to take a share of the two hundred asylum seekers on board now the german ship called the wife law and has been waiting for days to get permission to dock. the men women and children on both the lifeline have been stranded at sea for six

days there was some hope for them as italy announced the vessel could. under one condition that the migrants are distributed among e.u. countries. and it's in the willing to take some of them put you go to germany and france have also offered to help. but the french president pointed to the severity of the situation. we have experienced migration crises before but this is not a situation like that this is an internal political crisis in europe. michael also said the ship run by the german and geo mission lifeline had to fight all the rules by rescuing the migrants when the libyan coast guard was already intervening he accused the ngo of playing into the hands of people smugglers. it's a reason terria minister has also accused and run rescue ships of aiding traffickers

and has closed the country's poorest of them generally. foreign n.g.o.s with foreign personnel and foreign flags with foreign investors will no longer docket italian ports i've said it before and i'll say it again. the lifeline was one of the ships turned away by its early although it's early and multi say the vessel cannot dock and let the german n.-g. o. has since said that it has yet to receive permission these migrants like the e.u. is migration policy remain in limbo. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world german chancellor angela merkel is holding crisis talks with her coalition partners here in berlin she's looking to resolve a dispute with her hardline interior minister horst zahle for over migration as a whole for is pushing for tighter border controls in a role that could threaten miracle's government the european union has offered to begin membership talks with albania and macedonia at the end of twenty nine t. officials say membership proceedings will only go ahead if the two countries make

sufficient progress in combating corruption and strengthening the rule of law. ethiopia's rolled out the red carpet for eritrea as top diplomat as the two neighbors took a major step towards ending decades of conflict and hostility ethiopian prime minister upbeat ahmed who you see there on the left says that the issues dividing the nations are miniscule compared to their eagerness to mend. all right high drama in the village games at the world cup today joining me here at the big desk to talk about it is it really from v.w. sports good to see you again or at least go through this well what a day argentina looked down and now but they came back in spectacular fashion that oh it's such a thriller before the game they knew that they had to win but it was a bit of a roller coaster of emotions they started out on a high because who else but me you know messi scored the opening goal for argentina

in the fourteenth minute they felt safe they now had the lead this is what they were hoping for but they continued to struggle a little bit and idea got into the game better and better here you see the penalty it was an equaliser in the fifty first minute and now everything was open again because this score would put nigeria through and everyone was nervous but in the final stages of the game came marcus russell and c score for argentina and there were tears of joy in the argentine fans in their faces on the players everyone was going nuts as to actually fairly intimate as you are what about the way to the also left it late in their game against iceland well cracy had a bit of a more relaxed situation because they knew that they were going through and they were most likely going through as group leaders so they didn't really have much to put into this game iceland had everything to win and everything to lose in this game the creation took the opening goal the one zero in the fifty third minute

which is a fantastic kick by the way so you see right here i said it wasn't done yet though they scored the equaliser in the seventy sixth minute through. penalty as well now if it was open for ice and this will again because another goal would have seen them progress but gracious sealed the deal with a two one win through even paris which. art was like a group c. france were already through so who joins them in the next round sounds play denmark and as well france were confident they knew that they were going through and denmark just needed a tie and that's exactly how those two teams played them are kind of relied on defending france played a lot of players that usually don't get a lot of minutes out of their stars were on the bench and it was the first goalless draw of this world cup and the socceroos they missed their chance to go through that yeah they desperately needed a win they were playing peru approved after thirty six years missing from the world cup stage they finally scored two goals against the south americans were incredibly have to scoring their goals they scored the one zero in the eighteenth minute. and

then later followed on to two zero in the fiftieth minute both teams are exiting the world cup but at least through is exiting on a high because they have this right now indeed so what does all of this mean for this for the next round. well cray should top their group so they face denmark and here's the big clash argentina face france in the round of sixteen what a huge game and world champions germany we know that they are gearing up for the final group stage match tomorrow has the mood improved would you say yeah definitely of course the mood has improved after their late win against sweden on the weekend that surely was a huge boost for their mentality but in terms of performance there still is quite a far way to go because the first game was bad and the second game was just a little bit better they really have to improve south korea is a good opponent for that you could say because it's supposedly the weakest team in the group now what they need is a good solid wind to get them through to the next and how do you see the chances of the the germans are at this point is really difficult to tell like i said before

they need the points not just the points but they also need the one for their mentality really all right but we will see in. sports as always thank you thank you very much and you are up to date with news for all of us here thanks for the company will be back at the top of the young world with more bold new cd that. make you do you think it's going to be. all the matches the scores. two thousand and eighteen soccer world cup on the w c.
