very warm welcome to all of you a judge in the united states has temporarily barred a president donald trump from denying asylum to migrants who enter the country illegally through mexico trump had issued a proclamation earlier this month that anyone who did not go to official ports of entry would be ineligible for asylum the judge's ruling comes as around three thousand migrants from central america are currently waiting in the mexican city of tijuana to apply for asylum in the u.s. thousands more are still making their way through mexico. and in this ruling the judge said trump's order to block asylum claims represented quote an extreme departure from previous practice. and he adds that whatever the scope of the president's authority he may not rewrite the immigration loss to impose

a condition that congress has expressly forbid while the year temporary restraining order will remain in place until there is a permanent legal ruling or what we can take you now to the border town of tijuana correspondent stephan siemens is on the ground there for us stephan what's the situation in tijuana at the moment set the scene for us. hello yeah well you see me is standing right in front of the benito juarez sports center this is the new home for about two thousand seven hundred central american migrants or the so-called caravan migrants and as you can see the chemical joy of this in a walk with you a little bit here you see this line those guys lining up here they're not lining up for any paperwork nope it's about cookies those people are hungry there's not enough food here there's not enough anything here because. as a city absolutely overwhelmed with two thousand seven hundred refugees already here
7:04 pm
and they're expecting and voted thousand more to come tonight or to morrow morning so this is only getting worse here and now you have mentioned president and the judge's order the injunction on his plans to cancel asylum basically that's kind of good news for those people here a good news because they hear now safe they say they come from an unsafe place they all want to go to the united states and probably ask for asylum and that means they can do this legally or even illegally and if you see behind this line yet just two hundred meters away that's that fence there or this this wall that is the border this is telephone is so they are close and move very very far from there trying to come to the united states so close yet still so far away but they have fresh hope as you just referenced the president has referred to these migrants the ones that you've been talking to add to tijuana as a threat to national security and he has deployed thousands of troops to the border
7:05 pm
not far from where you are but we've now heard that these troops are being sent home in the coming weeks can you tell us more about that. yeah i mean those troops were there in the first place to. secretary of defense met his coin did for moral support so besides the moral support they obviously provided to the border police customs and border u.s. boss customs and border police they also put wire bob wire down and improve the concrete barriers here and there but as it turns out now there were more u.s. troops deployed to texas and arizona then to california and california slashed to one our northern mexico it is where those migrants shows to end up so they will be redeployed and many of them since there is no need to have three thousand u.s.
7:06 pm
soldiers deployed over the coming holidays or the few next weeks in texas is the assessment now they can go home and will be or will be redeployed to california seven how much of a setback is this injunction for president trump i mean there's the issue of the caravan still carry a political value after the midterms. well no actually interestingly enough the president has hardly been heard to mention the caravan only if pressed and asked the but of course as you as you recall as our viewers recall and you're absolutely right that was a staple on every campaign stop and every campaigns they made the curve and the growing invasion from migrants out of central america doesn't really feel like an invasion right now here but yes you're right politically of this is not a topic for him anymore because he can't capitalize on it it seems like politically all right deb you stephan simmons entier want to thank you.
7:07 pm
and we're going to shift our attention now to afghanistan where at least forty three people have been killed in a blast in the capital kabul the country's health ministry says at least eighty three other people have been injured after a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a wedding hall where islam and scholars have gathered event was marking the birthday of the prophet muhammad it's one of the deadliest attacks in kabul in recent months got a stanza president has announced that wednesday will be a national day of mourning. all right and joining us now is to hear kaderi he is a journalist based in kabul to here good to have you here with us what more have you learned about this fatal attack. well as you put it to the audience who haven't been polling to attack which people call it
7:08 pm
a deadly and very attack today actually was a national holiday in afghanistan get people out war actually call them writing the . the islamic great prophet muhammad peace be on him. but you know through fight a bomb or he made it through to one of the gathering call of the biggest governing party in fact one done clerics from all over afghanistan up gobert you know winning hall in kabul very close to the airport where they are you know reading some verses from the holy. in memory of the great prophet where balmer made it through and he did the native himself other result more than forty people have been killed which the eighty five people up in one day which should be conditional at least more than twenty people are really critical. to hear time just a little bit more about the people who were gathered in this a wedding hall why would they be targeted. well over the last few months
7:09 pm
afghanistan have been witnessing actually lot so they get attacked like that because of the elections you know last month we had you know serious health attacks but for a while called look quite calm i mean in many provinces actually it was very calm and the taliban they were not because of the negotiation for up some people put it . props because they were not really targeting people but now they have resumed they actually does people as they kill their ranks very important people islamic scholars from money parts of afghanistan down gathered there so it is important for the taliban for out even though know by doing no group has claimed responsibility for it but whatever i mean when you read the common trees. i know that they say as like you know it's quite important moment for the taliban because they are negotiating with the afghan governments on the other side they want to put more pressure so that the you know they have a more a bargaining chip a very you know. an important powerful bargaining chip for the quite what was
7:10 pm
important for them even though people call it you know against all islamic values because you know i talking to islamic clerics even do it is not really unusual enough going to some but you know targeting such a big event where like a thousand very important and powerful the scholars of gathered you know they really unusual all right and i just want to reiterate we don't know yet nobody has claimed responsibility yet for this fatal attack in kabul to here comparing kabul thank you for your reporting it's now to some of the other news making news around the world. the lawyer of a pakistani christian woman acquitted of blasphemy has appealed to germany and other countries to help relieve pakistan. b. the woods convicted in two thousand and ten after she was accused of making derogatory remarks about islam her lawyer says v.b. and members of her family need citizenship from any western country for their

7:12 pm
around the globe refugee children are amongst the worst off in the world and lebanon some one hundred eighty thousand refugee children are forced to work long hours for little pay just to put food on the table for their families on no place has a higher concentration of syrian refugees than lebanon's bekaa valley to use a bit of heat and travel to a camp there and has been looking at one family's plight that's similar to so many others it is six in the morning in lebanon's bekaa valley eight year old just woke up. a splash of cold water in the face and she is ready for work. her family fled syria to escape i asked her now they're in lebanon where they can't always afford breakfast so my issue is this tiny makeshift bed with three of her six siblings. she doesn't go to school there are no
7:13 pm
schools in the camp where would she go to school so may as mother is sick and cannot go to work her older siblings also work the seumas still needs to pitch in to help the family make ends meet so instead of getting on a school bus so my eye gets on the strike every morning where she is the only child among many adults. for two dollars a day some are collect whatever crop is ready for harvest in the bekaa valley. today it is onions and her hands are too little for the gloves the adults around her where. when i came here from home today can collect the onions but i would rather have toys to play with. three quarters of syrian refugees in lebanon live under the poverty line according to unicef an estimated one hundred eighty thousand syrian refugee children. have been forced into child labor in the country through
7:14 pm
a lot more through i don't know when she goes to work and i stay at home of course i'm not happy with that she's just a small child and has to carry so much weight it could break her back it's hard for her. she should be at least thirteen or fourteen to do work like that. there were many refugee families in lebanon rely on their children to pay the bills and the resources of aid agencies are overstretched it's unlikely that some i will be able to stop working anytime soon. all right well that report of course was form our own abraham she's with me here now in the studio it's always great having you here it's so hard not to feel for little assuming i mean she should be in school playing with friends on the playground not performing hard labor to provide for her family put this in perspective for us how endemic is this problem in lebanon particularly. there are no there's that one statistic the there are one hundred
7:15 pm
eighty thousand documented cases of forced child labor among syrian refugee children in lebanon but just going there as a reporter i've been to the because the a number of times reporting on syrian refugee presence there and you can see it everywhere i mean. is one of. tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands i mean there was this one day where we started she was the only young child among many adults but i also saw so many trucks that had more children than one or the majority of the passengers on the truck were were children you also see children engaging in labor that is perhaps more dangerous that what's amazing dejan in such as construction work or even working in a mechanical shop things that really put their physical wellbeing in jeopardy so unfortunately quite common and it doesn't seem like there's any sign of it coming down any time soon before we talk a little bit more about sumi is a particular situation that case just let's establish a couple of facts is child labor legal eleven are for children in the age of so my
7:16 pm
it is strictly prohibited for children her age to to engage in labor the law is clear that any child who was not complete the thirteen years is not allowed to work in between the age of fourteen and eighteen there has to be a medical certificate provided proving that they are physically fit to undertake a job to undertake this job but obviously this is the theory but what happens in practice is. my as an example exactly it's not always being enforced or looked at ok let's talk now about the maze family situation we saw her mother you profiled her she. as part of your report as well so why is she not the main breadwinner for instance why does her child have to go out so my is mother really cannot work for a number of reasons the first reason is that somebody has an infant sibling that her mother has to take care of but then the other reason is that she has knee problems and cannot really work it's very unfortunate the situation of the family
7:17 pm
the mother is illiterate so really all of the jobs that would be open to her potentially are things that require physical labor so if they're working in the fields or perhaps cleaning homes or working in mechanical shops etc but even for syrian parents that may be literate or it may have qualifications to enter a skilled workers into the labor market the lebanese labor market is extremely restrictive when it comes to syrian refugees there are a number of jobs that they are not allowed to go into simply for example the medical profession so you know the situation can also happen with parents that may be more qualified than some as mother to take jobs with in london and all right now let's talk a little bit i mean there are lots of aid groups in lebanon why is it so difficult for them to reach these types of cases like sumi and get them out of the labor force into schools and maybe provide her mom with some form of income. it's hard to pinpoint the problem but i think part of it is that you know this is eight years into the syrian conflict and resources of international aid organizations
7:18 pm
like your nature are extremely overstretched i think it was. twenty eight thousand the un led response plan for seeing refugees liked something like four billion u.s. dollars in funding so they had such a huge deficit in the amount that they needed to help everyone and this is the plan covers lebanon and jordan and other countries as well so this lack of funding and this donor fatigue that we're seeing in years into the conflict may be part of maybe part of the issue another part of the issues that we're talking about these are not official can't. these are informal settlements in the bekaa valley because lebanon actually been allow the construction of formal refugee camps for syrians so that's why for example there is no school and that's why it's access to education and things like even sanitary living is difficult for people x. and i am unfortunately it's a vicious circle and unfortunately they are trapped in it but thank you so much for
7:19 pm
your reporting greatly appreciate it. now would you do when you say koehler spoke with main os atoning is the director of the unesco education report she asked him about the main findings. stanton in as refugees stand have the same educational chances as our children what are the main barrier us refugee children come from some of the poorest countries in the world they have had to survive conflict sometimes not real disasters and when they come from a war zone and they seek refuge in another country and they have left their home behind it means they also have a carry with them the traumas and the difficulties of transition and it is very important for the education system that receives them to provide them with the kind of support that they need to really be able to start feeling that they belong in the new society has the situation in germany germany is one of the leading
7:20 pm
countries in the world that have included refugees in national education systems and not only in terms of their basic education but also by giving them opportunities to recognise the skills and prior learning they have with them in order to integrate into the labor market then find employment opportunities because that is really key to their long term integration what is the special situation until they face in refugee camps concerning their education refugee camps are of course by themselves a form of exclusion in fact we see increasingly that there is a tendency for refugee populations to be moved out of comes because that will precisely be the one of the key factors to facilitate their inclusion and the international community has been particularly strongly supporting the standards had to move from humanitarian responses to long term development inclusion of refugees in societies thank you very much. all right i'm going to hand you over now to having our get us where for the latest business headlines and the latest on the leadership crisis still unfolding in this one that's right lay low because it is

7:23 pm
prosecutors investigations are underway regarding its impact on the economy the japanese government will closely watch this development. beyond any potential economic consequences many japanese say they've experienced a sense of betrayal after the revelations. we don't get it actually we also have a nissan car so i do feel deceived because essentially he was being dishonest. and then when i hear nissan i think of a company that your hand is proud of my family drives a nissan but as the head of a company you shouldn't do something so irresponsible and does a japanese person i thought it was embarrassing. now a decision needs to be made about cohen's future on thursday nissan's board will determine its course of action. to another company in trouble shares in germany's deutsche bank hit a record low after the company was connected to the widening money laundering

hold of a regular court. in the bank but it's not going right. back with more business later on and speaking of things that are not going right. it's time for sports not in the final match of a first sitting twenty eight t.v. years full germany side blew a two goal lead to draw with the netherlands in the nation's league on monday night while the point means that the dutch qualify for germans final four to not enter open to scoring after just nine minutes before fellow forward leroy's so night double to lead inside the first half germany looked on course for a positive result to end a dreadful year but it was meant to be chrissie promise try back late in the second half then as captain very tough on desc then equalized in injury time. well
7:26 pm
one landmark from germany's draw with the dutch was thomas muller playing in his one hundredth game for the german national team the twenty nine year old forward is only the eleven the german player to reach that milestone but despite scoring thirty eight goals for the national side his place is now under threat from younger players after he struggled during germany's world cup debacle miller though is fully behind the new look team. thomas muller began his germany career back in two thousand and ten he soon started banging the goals then and was a key part of the side which lifted the world cup in two thousand and fourteen. birds he lost his luster as germany were dumped out in the group stage of this june's tournament. came off the bench in monday's two two draw with a never learns with the dutch scoring both their comeback goals after his
7:27 pm
introduction his one hundred cap was not what it might have been. in business with other people it was a bit of a bitter pill to swallow that we ended up drawing the game so it hasn't been so great but of course my team mates and the coach have congratulated me on the. quicker forward such as serge gnabry and leroy sonny looks set to be first teamers and to get a cumulative going forward and muller understands he may have to take a back seat. well known fact. we've given ourselves a new impetus we have to see how that pans out we are not a top team again yet but we have seen what is possible i what sort of football we can play with the changes in the team so we're on the right path. this brings about all that with. he made no mention of international retirement though he may now be a substitute but thomas miller's one hundredth appearance is unlikely to be his last. all right you're watching you don't use a cell
7:28 pm

7:31 pm
increasingly shocked by the findings of an official inquiry into corruption allegations against former president jacob zuma the so-called state capture scandal centers around the gupta is a wealthy indian business family well the former finance minister has now testified he estimates around six point two billion euros may have been stolen through corrupt government tenders the country's anti corruption on but smith says the group has held such sway that they were able to pick some of sumos cabinet ministers. all right well here with me in the studio to talk about south africa where it's headed and the potential leadership role he could play in it i'd like to welcome to see me ninety the leader of south africa's biggest opposition party the democratic alliance a very good evening sir it's good to have you here in person. contextualize this
7:32 pm
for us i mean today south africa is the wealthiest and most unequal society in africa how big of a problem is corruption in your country i think corruption is a mess of issues. as the conservative estimate of six point two billion runs but what i think corruption in south africa indicates is that it's become a systemic thing every contract that is conceived in south africa by the state has elements of corruption in it's almost as those former president of south africa described it is that every project that is built is built with corruption in mind and therefore it means that the resources of the states have been stolen many south africans are left on and prayed as a result of it in naturally i think that it indicates of the fact that the a.n.c. is the ruling party has become a party that is suffering from the cans of corruption that has taken over every sector of society all right now how are you ensuring that your party the democratic
7:33 pm
alliance da does not suffer from that corruption because i mean you are in south africa south and maybe runs through many levels of government what are you doing to ensure that you are not tainted by that type of corruption well the fight against corruption needs serious accountability and so from where we sit all starting point is to make sure we build a capable state you've got to attract people to the administration that in fact on most loyal to any party political system but are focused on a capable state so that when corrupt politicians come on board that ministration is able to hold them to a consequently i think it's important that you build institutions that five to. corruption what the a.n.c. successfully did is they managed to send people to key institutions like the prosecuting authority the point of people who are lying to them so politicians never became prosecutor thirdly i think we are always saying to ourselves as a party once you've built those institutions attractive to people who can do the job you have to ensure that where corruption occurs you immediately prosecute and
7:34 pm
that's why we've taken a strong stance against it and our policy often going even now is to say with our corrupt politicians they must be locked away in jail for a long time there's a state capture inquiry taking place in south africa right now and yet not a single arrest has been made this is a crime is sick and over and above the issue of corruption i'm just wondering if you're fighting an uphill battle here because of course you know better than anybody else the a.n.c. is a legacy party towering legacy i mean it ended racial apartheid so many people south africans feel that their indebted to this party their loyalty is with this party what are you doing what what is the democratic alliance doing to resonate with some of those voters yeah and this is for me the bit that is most exciting i don't hold hatred to the n.c. i think it played a very crucial role in liberation politics the question for south africa now is about south africa's future we can reflectively and about yesterday about the role
7:35 pm
the a.n.c. played and that was crucial but when we look at the future of south africa the questions on the table are how do we create jobs for the for south africans how do we ensure that we live in a country with or races can prosper together how do we ensure that we take our place in the league of nations in the world as a country that stands for human rights and the defenders of freedom that's the future of south africa so the work that i'm doing currently as a party is to build that party falls of africans where the only use of african party whether any party in south africa that is reflective of all races and ultimately creating an economic offer that is attractive. more jobs where we governed as the democratic alliance we govern in all the major cities in south africa we dictate we govern for sixteen million citizens we controlled most of the local government economy and their new jobs are being created and no money has been stolen and i think the majority of south africans are desperate for a government that will be able to prepare them for the future they want. now. the
7:36 pm
other uphill battle that you're facing is that many in south africa view the democratic alliance the day as kind of the successors of former apartheid rulers the perception is that the da is is for affluent white south africans is it not think that's a propaganda always given by liberation movements. people never believed that the da would be a party that governs a city like johannesburg which is a cosmopolitan city and when we came in there we campaign we demonstrated to the people of south africa that we're the only party that can bring also the africans together and it's a project that very few parties in the world are doing we're the ones that are doing it and we demonstrated that where we now govern life is improving force of africans so for us when we look at where we stand as a party we are all across all races all different religions different cultures and
7:37 pm
that's the vision that nelson mandela would have stood for and that is a vision that we still hold and therefore i'm comfortable to learn that we will show to the people of this country that that's the future they are looking for and they showing their trust by voting for the deal they were successful in transfer but of course there were some issues in cape town which we can't we don't have enough time to get into here for now now the a.n.c. has let of course south africa since the end of apartheid what's the difference between mr cerebellum opposed and you why should you lead south africa. one mr i'm opposed has been part of the system of corruption he's part of the furniture he's part of what's brought the economic challenge that south africa has come into. the difference here is that south africa needs a change it needs a change from his own views that stand for statelet economic development i want to focus on a market based economy where private citizens are able to attract. well i simply
7:38 pm
want to defend south africans ability to be able to own property in their own rights as individuals whereas he's advancing a policy position where they can be expropriated of land without compensation he certainly in my view held up in a polity that still does not believe or simply advancing a nonracial future for south africa whereas i'm standing up going we can build a party false of africans so this is about a contest between a generation of leaders that came from a liberation movement in the past in the gym a new generation of leaders that i'm part of that wants to take south africa to a collective shared future of all right the poster part our generation in conclusion one of the government so most popular ministers just made a statement let's take a listen and we'll continue our conversation right after that. even then get to the point of losing credibility in society and power. that our leadership election process is becoming corrupted by vote buying and gate keeping. current that's quite
7:39 pm
a statement there and reinforces some of the things that you have been sharing with us here for may and see supporters have now formed a powerful why don't off on the fringes communist part of the economic freedom fighters the e f f. is the a.n.c. kremlin from within and can you capitalize on that you know you want to capitalize on absolutely it's not even about just taking one it's about creating a new coalition of south africans who actually still hold on to the racialism who actually want an economy that is growing and sit in the affection of the economic freedom fighters resemble in many ways a fairly face just movement in south africa and a populist one where not interested in populist ideas we're interested in an economy that is growing that will create jobs for more people so for us we're feeling confident that the future of south africa must be what the d.a.'s office
7:40 pm
and it is certainly something that which have been in. and as minister pravin gordhan just say they're suffering from the council of corruption that it's crumbling and losing credibility and i think what we've got to do is to say to ourselves who would oppose corruption and build a future of a capable state for the people who seem a man either leader of south africa's biggest opposition party democratic alliance thank you that's a question. all right next up we're going to shift our focus to the him home rental company erbium bay which has decided to remove its listings from israeli settlements in the west bank the u.s. platform says it's made the decision because the settlements are at the core of the israeli palestinian dispute while the move is due to come into effect in the coming days and palestinian authorities and some human rights groups have welcomed the move but israel has called it quote shameful and is threatening legal action. b. and b. has long been under pressure from various groups to stop offering homes in the
7:41 pm
israeli occupied west bank. after announcing they would do so the response from israel came quick and harsh the country's tourism minister slammed the move as discriminatory. this. decision is something completely. nation something. only jews living in jordan some real this is actually a racist decision but albion b. says the decision wasn't taken lightly in a statement on its website the company said its team wrestled with the decision but it concluded that it would remove listings in israel settlements in the occupied west bank they're at the core of the dispute between israelis and palestinians. israel captured the west bank in a nine hundred sixty seven war most world powers say their settlements there are illegal palestinian authorities are behind b.
7:42 pm
and b.'s decision. i think this is a very important decision because all settlements are considered illegal by international laws the israeli government believes the move may violate u.s. legislation and says it will be contacting washington. all right snapchat instagram look out there's a new kid on the block. six times if you're sharing platform is already a hit and shout out and is quickly becoming one of the world's top social media ass and here to explain this new phenomenon with me in the studio is none other than our duty of social media editor carl now as when they had me at the nene take. it love that they have this is a bigger app than i thought it was i had never heard of but let's take talk right

7:53 pm
a must see for all visitors to bed drouet doesn't disappoint you but if you're not sure if it. was wonderful i will be back the museum is full of masterpieces spanish french and for let me originally brought together by the spanish royals two hundred years of the museum's history are now on show featuring the work of such great authors as velasquez or oak record the show also reflects spanish history because mostly a famous politician once said that the prado is more important than the monarchy or the republic the essence of spain is that in the museum and in its paintings. the prado also inspired many artists including the impressionists the nude my art was painted by we are in the eighteenth century hundred fifty years later picasso reflected on the theme millions of visitors have passed through the prados rooms

the museum went through dark times and survived and the spanish civil war. because a bomb fell on the museum and it had to be closed the paintings were brought to safety first to the length then to catalonia and on to switzerland before they could return. there were three million visitors came last year the museum is now ready to shine on its big birthday. and karen we already saw some iconic paintings passing by. the father tell us a little bit more about some of those you know the list is very long of the of the highlights obviously but i think you really have to concentrate on going to see the works of. the great spanish from antic painter he's the most extensively represented artist in the museum and we just saw his new my eyes there in the report but you certainly can't miss the extraordinary. stairs gallery that's devoted to fourteen to his fourteen black paintings as they're called into us naked
