trying to retake the city of daraa where anti-government protests began seven years ago the u.n. says that more than forty five thousand people have been forced to flee the violence however neighboring jordan is refusing to allow the displaced people to cross into its territory. they fled from bombs and destruction. now this family and living out in the open just hoping someone will help them. bread and petrol prices have risen sharply money is running out. came from was totally destroyed every house was flattened. we had to live in the cellars. now we want to go somewhere that hasn't been completely. anyone who can get out is leaving dura nearly fifty thousand have gone so far

villages in the rebel stronghold have been hit hard during days of bombing whole streets lined ruins the local administration cannot cope with the sick and wounded . hospitals clinics and treatment centers were deliberately targeted. they attacked doctors and paramedics. while the. syrian helicopters drop their deadly cargo activists say there are constant barrel bombs strikes and dozens of civilians have been killed russian jets have also been in action for the first time since a cease fire a year ago. the advancing syrian army has overrun two villages and the small town. but this offices says civilians are not in danger and a political solution is possible. if. the syrian army

is fully operational what other regions have already been liberated our forces can focus on freeing to iraq in the next few days. the rebellion against the acid regime began in dura hundreds took to the streets in protests there were met with snipers tanks and missiles the protests spread throughout the whole country into iran moderate groups still exerts influence alongside islamic extremists. this man was one of the first to spray and he asked side slogans he took up arms and is still fighting for the revolution even if it may look like a lost cause he won't be giving up his gun. the revolution started seven years ago our wives and children are dead syria has been destroyed how can there be reconciliation only over our dead bodies refugees from the

fighting a fleeing into this highly sensitive area bordering israel and jordan. the border to jordan has essentially been closed for the past two years so there's not a way that they immediately can pass into safety in neighboring jordan jordan has already taken a huge amount of of refugees but that's not really an option right now assad wants to take back control of his country after aleppo and east and the fear now is the battle for dura will bring get more suffering flight and death row and for more on the situation i'm joined now by correspondent on trial for us she is monitoring the situation for us from beirut welcome to you and i just like to begin by discussing the situation for those refugees that we have just heard about tens of thousands of them displaced by the fighting we heard about jordan's border being closed so where are these people to go and how dire is the current situation for them. well the

situation is pretty dire according to andrew regime activists there are about a million syrians in this area in that are and the regime has always been pretty recommend on reclaiming all of the areas under rebel control and now russia up there are so it's not a surprise in that sense a lot of these people forty five thousand as the united nations says have gone deeper into the rebel held territory and they're essentially going to wait to see if some sort of a compromise between the rebels and the regime is going to come about and will we see of the beat of aleppo and and if at some later stage they can actually be evacuated and put into buses and taken to perhaps an area like this is what we've seen in the past a lot of them are also knocking on georgian stores asking for jordan to take them in they would be adopting illegal means to get in as they have done in the past but as your report suggested join in this shattered store jordan's already gone to

seven hundred thousand civilian refugees and they're in no mood to dig anymore so it is a pix pretty. serious situation that's developing in the south of syria and it's been reported that many of the civilians there are also headed to the frontier with the israeli occupied golan heights believing it to be safer but that's also not an easy solution is a. well actually that's creates a fear as for a bigger crisis in the region completely because we've seen seed that is very close to can it up when it is possible and hide and a large part of golan heights is business where israel is watching the situation very closely because they if they are that the more the syrian army comes in the more the iranians come in and that's what they've been fearing syria says they don't use a lot of the ground but i can personally confirm a met several fighters who say that his will are certainly it's an iranian proxy certainly is so a lot of these people are trying to get there and israel will obviously not tick

many refugees severe to me jesus really is only taking in people which are of which need medical facilities which they have i have met doctors which were who treated the syrians but that is not a solution for the syrian these thousands of people will not be going to israel to live that it will not be taken as refugees instead israel is watching the situation to see if there was a city in the syrian regime actually of striking golan heights in their attempt to strike the rebels there which would turn into a regional war they're waiting to see what the americans will do and the americans have said that they will not be backing the doubles in this area at all so so much at stake here so many complexities and in the meantime we know tens of thousands of civilians in limbo it is a situation we have seen before amid the fighting in syria on trial for a with the latest on the situation we very much appreciate your reporting. in other news a u.s.

federal judge has ordered that children separated from their parents at the mexican border must be reunited with him thirty days children younger than five must be back with their parents within two weeks he ruled the judge also issued an order to stop the trump administration from splitting up any additional families who cross the border without papers the decision comes after weeks of outrage following the separation of thousands of children from their parents by immigration authorities last week trump issued an executive order to hold migrant families together in detention. and for more let's bring in. our who's joining us with the very latest on the situation so this is a federal court order what does it mean. you pointed out there has to be reunification if the child is older than fifteen and thirty days if they're less than older than five scuse me if they left in the us than ten days what's interesting to note here is that the trumpet ministration through their own executive order that they had issued was arguing this ruling is unnecessary we've already solve this problem ourselves with this executive order and the judge really

brought down his foot and said no that's absolutely not true you've solved absolutely nothing was very critical in a lot of this ruling saying quote this was a chaotic circumstance of the government's own making and really knocking the trump administration for not it seems in the judge's eyes taking it off care of especially these children that are coming across the board of the crux of it and correct me if i'm wrong is that this judge basically saying here that the administration implemented the separation policy without proper preparation was that the specific issue absolutely and that was he really physically says that he says there seems to have never been any plan to reunite these children with their parents and if you listen to travel ministration official statements on this the whole point of this policy was deterrence they were trying to keep people from crossing the border and it doesn't really seem like that worked in the meantime they differ as this judge said there never really was

a plan for once they separated the children bringing them back together and now we have parents these migrants many of whom want to claim asylum at the border and their children are thousands of miles away in new york and california and they don't know where they are and the whole situation i mean it has just been absolutely heart wrenching in the united states so many people incredibly outraged over this especially given how young some of these children are. we know that the fate of some two thousand i believe it's estimated of them is not yet known it's also not yet known how the. it will be reunited so my what really comes next i mean the order here is clear from the judge they were he was very clear and the estimates as high as two thousand three hundred children now trying to ministration says they have managed reunite about five hundred children with families but as this judge finds out as they said there really isn't a plan and one thing that's been made a lot of hay of is these parents aren't given any indication of where their

children are when it when an american goes to jail they're given receipts and slips for here's where my wallet is here or my car is here as are my personal clothes are these parents weren't given anything they weren't even told where their children were being taken and something is they weren't even being told that their children were being taken away from them there really isn't a sort of step by step plan here not yet at least sue figure out whose child went where figure out how even how to bring them back together and we've even seen some airlines in the united states saying we're not going to participate in this anymore we're not going to be flying children away from where their parents are so there's some civil action being taken below the government levels saying we're not going to participate in this anymore trying to help bring people back together but it's reason really unclear what the next steps are simply just because this judgment was issued we don't know absolutely because the u.s. legal system of course you know there's an appeals process there are complexities there i mean but many are seeing this as as one of the strongest nails in the coffin when it comes to trump's policy of criminalizing migrants of really trying

to deter people from crossing that border from the very beginning what do you see is coming next. the trouble ministration it's likely they will appeal they have a habit of appealing these sorts of decisions especially when they're working for their president's views and the president's policy is i think a strong message has been sent to trump that this policy in this case did not jive with much of the american people's idea of what immigration should be but it really depends on which side of the spectrum if you fall on we've heard a lot of republican lawmakers even from the beginning saying that they support this policy of separation and that they think that it is a deterrent and it sort of depends on where trump feels the wind is blowing in his favor or not by a stranger from good to be honest thank you so much. but meantime u.s. president donald trump is hailing success in a different case the supreme court has decided to uphold his ban on travel from

several mainly muslim countries the ban hits travelers from five nations including our wrong libya somalia syria and yemen the court rejected arguments that the ban discriminated against muslims and reversed rulings by lower courts that the measure was unconstitutional but the move remains controversial across the u.s. demonstrators rally to protest the travel ban and the supreme court's decision to uphold it. after days of crisis talks and media speculation surrounding the team argentina qualified for the knockout stages of the world cup but only just they grab a very late winner against nigeria to win the tie two one and send the super eagles home let's have a look. they've been a has defense splitting pos found little messy in the fourteenth minutes argentina's talisman made no mistake scoring his first of the tournament much

tamara donna's joy. fantastic control and a formidable finish. line soon after messi came close to doubling his tally with a free kick but was denied by a fingertip saves. a v.a.r. review in the second half gave nigeria the chance from the spot josie's victim oses stepped up kept his nerve i am celebrated in style i at this point nigeria had one foot in the knockout stages but sense about marcos rocco smashed in the win of four minutes from time i didn't tina finish second setting up a heavyweight clash with france in the next round. while argentina face nigeria croatia were on their way to a two one victory against iceland after some lucky bounces milan by doubts for the

opening goal in the fifth of their minute quite the impressive strike from the courageous and defensive midfielder ben diana lovering handled the ball in the box in the seventy fifth minute allowing the sigurdsson to step up to equalize with minnows in the dying minutes of the match eve on the kerry stitch hit a suit her strike to clinch the victory for racial advance as the winners of the day. were going to watch a football match is something that most fans take for granted but for an iranian activist that is not a given women in her country have been prevented from entering football stadiums since the iranian revolution in one nine hundred seventy nine she has used the world cup in russia to raise awareness about the ban and she spoke exclusively with jonathan crane in moscow. i became interested in the club when i was and when i was a. kid because my family. and very passionate and

football isn't like sick like religion in iran and everybody watches that but. half of the population are not able to get in and since then. immediately after the worst copying burns still to have some fourteen i create my temping. i mean woman should be a lot to go to stadium. like the same the same prison is like as they. allowed to leave as they allowed to go to school as they allowed to go to watch a movie they allowed to work as you know this is the very very basic right when i'm inside i think it was that dream and you suppose so be so beautiful

and said to most most think that i like about this war is cop it's like it's not about competition football is not. it's not that this initiative is just a journey for the next wars cop. this this. this problem this whatever it is it's going to be solved and nobody's holding a banner nobody is promoting this ban anymore because i'm sure that by next fourth cup this problem is solved. now to another problem and it made fears of a growing trade war china preparing to take its. this elsewhere helen on for history sarah beijing just preparing to slash import tariffs on thousands of products from

five asian pacific countries is that trade war with the united states continues to simmer the lower duties will be applied to a list of some eight in the whole thousand products including agricultural produce metals and clothes shipped from bangladesh india laos south korea and sri lanka some products like soybeans will no longer be taxed asshole the announcement coming five days before the u.s. tariffs on thirty four billion dollars worth of chinese imports take effect. meanwhile tears threatened by president trump on vehicles built to broad could end up hurting u.s. consumers costing them billions of dollars every year as according to estimates from the washington based alliance of automobile manufacturers it calculates the navy's of up to twenty five percent would work out that an average five thousand eight hundred dollars more per vehicle e.u. e.u. or to make it a feed the terrorist will impact exports to the us they can import around one million vehicles a year washington has no such an investigation into whether those imports

constitute a threat to national security. and our financial correspondent daniel corpus at the frankfurt stock exchange for us daniel chung continues to threaten car terrorists how much could they potentially hurt. well her head and i while investors and also german companies were not that worried earlier about those zealand tears this car share situation is making them more and more certain germany exports last year more than four million cars and a huge amount of those i went to the united states so this is going to hurt carmakers and you mention it also the customers that at the end will have to pay quite a lot of money more the question of course is going to be if this is going to stop americans to buy european cars that's of course the goal of the u.s. president he has this a long time hate relationship with european carmakers carmakers most likely will never forget his comments when you complain ones that he doesn't see that many

european that many american cars. on european roads but rather a lot of european cars on the american roads though i can tell you that the car makers are still hoping for a last minute rethinking of the u.s. president i don't you we also saw the dax opening in the red once again what are investors main concerns right now where are they getting out of their shares. but i can tell you that at this moment none off the thirty eight list a chair here at the blue chip index dax is in the green they're all in the red even though wall street closed in the green yesterday we are again down more than a half percent at a level of twelve thousand one hundred and sixty points and yes this is really getting serious we have to remember that in general we were still here at a level off thirteen thousand five hundred points so we lost more then one thousand four hundred points just within this year and already in this month's close to six

percent yes i can tell you that investors they are really worried here definitely like a trained financial correspondent daniel cool for us frank thank. all right hating out goober has won a court battle to regain its right to operate in the british capital london however it only receives a fifteen month probationary license it will have to prove it is learnt from its past mistakes london's transit authority revoked its license last year off the company failed to do proper background checks on drivers and didn't report criminal offenses the ruling is a win for business you see he's trying to overhaul the scandal ridden company's image back over now to sara thank you so much alan and we're going have a quick look now at some other stories that have been making news around the world because mexico's presidential election campaign is in turmoil after the murders of five members of the leftist party lead that's that is leading the polls excuse me

the group including a state assembly candidate were shot dead in the southern state of hawaii haka he was the nineteen candidate to be killed during the campaign voting takes place on sunday. colombia's government says that it will use drones to spray herbicide on coca plants across used to make cocaine the country saw a record surge in production of coca last year colombia bans the spraying of herbicide from planes three years ago because of health and environmental risks it says that drones pose less of a hazard because they fly a lower altitudes the fate of over two hundred thirty migrants on board the german rescue ship the lifeline remains unclear on tuesday italy said that multiple had agreed to take the vessel but the crew on board the lifeline has treated that they received a message from malta saying that they were not allowed to enter its waters.

the men women and children on board the lifeline have been stranded at sea for six days there was some hope for them as italy announced the vessel could dock in malta under one condition that the migrants are distributed among e.u. countries malta and italy a willing to take some of them portugal germany and france have also offered to help. but the french president pointed to the severity of the situation. because 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 n.g.o.s mission lifeline had defied 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. italy's interior minister has also accused angio run rescue ships of aiding

traffickers and has closed the country's ports to them generally. foreign n.g.o.s with foreign personnel and foreign flags with foreign investors will no longer darken italian ports i've said it before and i'll say it again. the lifeline was one of the ships turned away by italy although italy and malta say the vessel canal dock and the letter the german ngo has since said that it has yet to receive permission these migrants like that used migration policy remain in limbo. well joining us now from our brussels studio is due to correspondent max and welcome to you max and i'd just like to begin by asking you about something that the president pointed out earlier saying that the reality of the moment is not a migration crisis but rather what you see is actually europe's political migration crisis what do you mean by that. if you look at the numbers sarah than for example

italy the numbers of migrants arriving by sea compared to last year same period went down by seventy seven percent and that's a trend we're seeing all across the european union so from the height ever since the height of the migration crisis back at the end of two thousand and fifteen you have fewer and fewer migrants trying to make it or making it to the european union so you have to define you know when is the threshold when do you really have a crisis and that's what michael meant he said this is not a big deal what we're having at the moment what is a big deal are for example populist parties in italy or also parties at the heart of the german government that are putting this topic at the top of the agenda and feeding off of this topic especially the populist parties because that's why they get voted into office because people apparently are scared of another migration crisis and in the meantime the clock is really ticking for those who are stuck at c.n.n. it's been nearly a week since the vessel is in the open sea and still no final decision has been

made why is it taking so long max. well the n.g.o.s ships that are in the mediterranean operating there have been a blessing and a curse also especially for the italian government now for a long time the thinking behind it is of course that the migrants and the people smugglers can count on those ships rescuing the migrants and establishing a virtual bridge between northern africa and the european union and that's what the italian government wants to stop and you could say that at the moment they're all they're making an example of this maybe even that that turns. brussels bureau chief next old man with the latest on the situation thank you so much. and with that you're up to date now on t.w. news don't forget you can always get the latest news on the go that's on our website at www dot com you can also follow us on social media i'm sorry kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching a break. from
