so away from the football and on tuesday the united states withdrew from the u.n. human rights council secretary of state mike pompei of another u.s. officials castigated the international body accusing it of hypocrisy and political bias the president wants to move the ball forward from day one he has called the institutions or countries who say one thing and do another and that's precisely the problem with the human rights council as president trump said at the u.n. general assembly there's a massive source of embarrassment to the united nations that some governments with the greatest human rights records sit on the human rights council for too long to human rights council has been a protector of human rights abusers and a cesspool of political bias and that didn't go down well in europe where many officials were critical of the u.s. decision to withdraw from the human rights council saying the body is needed for addressing abuses around the world. the united states' decision to withdraw from
8:15 am
the human rights council is regrettable britain support for the human rights council remains steadfast today's decision risks undermining the role of the us as a champion a supporter of democracy in the world stage the european union will nevertheless continue to defend human rights and fundamental freedoms whether in multilateral for around the world also by cooperating with us whenever possible israel they welcome the move prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it a courageous decision some believe that the u.s. withdrawal is a result of washington's close relations with israel the u.n. secretary general expressed regret the decision that while the top rights group said it reflects washington's policy on the israeli palestinian conflict but the us ambassador to the united nations in turn accused rights groups of blocking reform of the body. it is unfortunate that your letter sought to undermine our attempts to improve the human rights council you put yourself on the side of russia and china
8:16 am
and opposite the united states on a key human rights issue the united states will continue to be a rural leader in calling for human rights for all people and enforcing international attention onto mass atrocities the general secretary of the palestinian national initiative says america's withdrawal harms its credibility on human rights. this is american withdrawal from the human rights council reflection of how serious the problem is with the arms of minister action which has become totally biased to israel and is favored in those very interested even to the american interest and i think withdrawing from such an important human occurrence or local votes council. undermines all the claims from the side of the american administration that there cared so much about to moderates that is very dangerous very good if situation it has undermined completely the ability of the united states to play at all in any peace in the future and it is definitely
8:17 am
affecting the deputation of the american administration and this is also linked to many other issues but on the issue of human rights this is going to be a very serious loss for the american policy this is our team protests erupted in the u.s. once again despite donald trump bowing to massive public pressure over migrant children being separated from families the details after the break. it's. usually when we have brought about a situation really in a conflict we be it me or the three decides to go see the first people to rush into the u.a.e. do their departure and as soon as we did. before was this suddenly the. budget.
8:18 am
politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to be precise this is what the three of the more people. interested always in the waters in the. city. welcome back to the weekly protests in the united states have been rallying against the highly controversial policy of separating undocumented migrant children from their parents despite president trump signing an executive order on wednesday reversing the program backed down in the face of
8:19 am
a massive public outcry against his zero tolerance approach towards illegal migration some officials involved have been targeted directly by activist. her. trumpet ministration officials have been sending babies and other young children to at least three. three tender age shelters in south texas wars and medical providers because. i know we're not nazi germany all right but we need be careful not to move in that direction this is not who we are in america he is taking america to a dark and ugly place is there anything you wish the senator can do the policy was launched in april and so bold in two thousand children separated from the families protests broke out in major us she said i grew further off the recording but for me
8:20 am
to play the children crying at the detention center. for. people who. do. in the u.s. homeland security department says of a five hundred migrant children have already been returned to their parents however it's not cute clear yet how the trumpet ministrations going to reunite all the families because some of the adults have already been deported at the peak of the crisis the issue to also took on a religious dimension as kind of explains u.s.
8:21 am
attorney general jeff sessions created a firestorm when he justified the policy of separating immigrant children from their parents by invoke. a bible passage from the book of romans our sign. here to the apostle paul and his clear and wise command in romans thirteen to the government because god is a dying or dying the government for his purposes the mainstream media had a field day don't break god into this first of all i don't think god pick jew because i don't worship what amir puton and the only thing in the bible close to this is a king threatening to cut a baby in two and he was joking it's not a lol and also the bible isn't the government documents from my policy perspective he wants will be starting green eggs and ham saying we must keep children in a box we must keep them with the faux should we really be surprised about biblical justification for policies last year it was revealed that the white house is
8:22 am
holding weekly bible study classes the classes are led by ralph drole injure the founder of capital ministries based in washington d.c. capital ministries has been operating for over two decades preaching evangelism to elected public servants since our founding in one thousand nine hundred six our vision has not changed to evangelize elected officials and lead them toward maturity in christ it turns out of the man advise in the white house on matters related to the almighty is a former basketball player with a bachelor's degree in geography now he has no background in public policy or political science but he does offer his expertise on spiritual matters to those in power they are so teachable they're so noble their soul learned like jeff sessions he'll go out the same to teach him something else see him do it on camera the list of officials who have participated in ralph's classes is rather impressive you've got vice president mike pence you've got secretary of education betsy divide us
8:23 am
you've got secretary of state mike pompei oh and you've got energy secretary rick perry all of them have sat down with pass. to ralph to learn about the good book many americans are horrified that evangelical ministers are influencing policy and even giving classes in the white house they think why are these religious kooks influencing the fate of the free world but there are americans who feel the opposite that's the problem with this country you people have allowed religion to become a part of political policy. your religion i don't care what it is has no business being in government it says broad get it right is own religion right is a freedom of religion that's what the country is zero based upon right freedom so the president is things he has his rights as well believe in just separation of church and state i believe religion should be kept separate from politics having other presidents done that in the past too i mean if they are religious then they are allowed to do that as long as it's not interfering with actual governing trump
8:24 am
did come forward and put a stop to the controversial family separation policies it may have cooled his critics on that but in the process he seems to have opened up a new divide a divide about his administration's newly announced policy of invoking the bible to justify its decisions cable mop and art see new york. europe's also in turmoil over refugee policies right now france's president across the page to suggest on saturday that italy's no longer dealing with a migrant crisis but the new italian interior ministry minister condemned that remark as an arab and an insulting mccrone also suggested fining e.u. countries that turn their backs on refugees. just for my part i am in favor of having mechanisms that take this into account we cannot have countries that massively benefit from e.u. solidarity and who massively claim their national selfishness when it comes to the topic of migration meanwhile a rescue boat carrying more than two hundred migrants is currently stranded in the
8:25 am
mediterranean both italy and malta have refused entry the same situation played out last week of course that ship the aquarius carrying more than one hundred migrants rescued off the coast of libya was ultimately allowed to dock in spain. but even there there was controversy because students in the city of l.a. county were forced to move out of their university accommodation to make way for the migrants a group of twenty students were reportedly only given twenty four hours to relocate the mother of one of those affected says it was unfair to kick out her son who always paid his rent adding that it's very doubtful that the spanish prime minister would leave his residence to accommodate any migrants and she's not the only one upset by the move is that refugees come here with no money and what next why do they gather there who for support from our government but they won't see it helping people is great but not when the country is in crisis. i do believe it is a good thing to shelter people in need but a victim students especially during exams is wrong. this is horrible the
8:26 am
students only receive twenty four hours notice that's not enough time to find another place to stay. i feel for people who are forced to lose their homes to come here but it only thing that spain is ready to welcome so many refugees it says their third district exist here is they pay their rent and have a right to state them in that it is that our footnote to this the authorities in the valencia region say that the students were offered alternative places to stay and that they didn't have to pay anything for experts we spoke to have shared their view on spain's decision to open its ports to that ship. the reason is very simple was the reason new prime minister which is a socialist prime minister who wanted to. really make a difference with. former prime minister of oil he wanted to. kind of satisfaction to his public who are his voters so we know that the leftists
8:27 am
voters are more open on the issues. during accepting this move move to say we are you one people all the others are populists and you see. but i hardly doubted that we started you i think that in the future because the feeling in the public opinion is not at all positive toward uncontrolled immigration. is spain had to be careful with. has to think about the consequences of this issue and the first one is spain is able to work on the number of other possible number of immigrants able to get to spend the following month this is not only for spain and for all the european union this is a good jest or this is. but if you're
8:28 am
a brand union and need very long. in order to find real solutions for this problem. it's coming up on twenty minutes past three here in moscow this sunday afternoon a quick world cup update for you three games today of course one under way right now england against panama as it stands england have taken a two goal lead in their group g. match against panama johnstone's opening the scoring and harry came penalties just double their lead whenever the score you'll see it flashed up on screen a lot of what we're talking about here on the international world cup coverage gets going and some pages back and about twenty minutes from now. next up italian. joined benetton has found itself embroiled in the migrant debates had in recent days it's been facing a backlash from aid groups after it used a photograph of rescued migrants in an appetizing campaign pictures of a rescue vessel filled to capacity were posted on benetton twitter page with the company's logo attach the french aid organization responsible for the rescue condemned the move as an appropriate. military need never allow the use of these
8:29 am
photographs for commercial purposes the dignity of survivors must be respected in all circumstances italy's interior minister teo selvi reacted to the campaign calling it despicable benetton defended its adverts saying it could help draw attention to the plight of migrants as provocative images were part of the firm's brand there's been strong debate over the use of migrant photos before in twenty sixteen a bollywood actress and a fashion magazine had to apologize for a controversial cover photo the actress was wearing a top that had the words migrant refugee and outsider crossed out or the word traveler stands out the magazine said its intention was to address then a phobia he best who's the former chief executive of the u.k.'s immigration advisory service told us that provocative campaigns like these can have undesired effects. the people we see who are prepared to risk their lives going for across the mediterranean these are desperate people and to use them in any shape or form
8:30 am
for advertising products is i think obscene but i wasn't surprised because benetton scott form you know this is the organization that actually has featured a nun kissing a priest and the man kissing a priest people on death row i mean they go out to deliberately to shock and to make people like you and i feel disgusted so we end up giving them a lot of free public to see as we are now by talking about it if they keep doing this they are going to really sicken people and we're going to end up with many people deciding to boycott their good so will have the the the opposite effect of the one that they want if you're watching the weekly from our to the biggest stories of the past seven days and our continuing well cup coverage more of the week's headline news after the break.
