sorry, a go, washington director of human rights. watch a welcome to you. we'll. let's start with you 1st that you are in favor of the transfer of these weapons to ukraine. as i understand it. why is that? when i'm in favor of ukrainians. a big being victorious over the russians. the russians have invaded their country. i'm in favor of ukrainians, having the ability to stop the russian invasion. i'm in favor of united states supporting ukraine in us, attempt to stop the russian invasion, and the rest of nato is joining in that effort. so i'm in favor of ukrainian victory. it turns out, as you just reported, that the way that the ukrainians can move to victory goes through our tower. they need our tower. and it turns out again, as you reported that the artillery rounds, the stocks both in your brain and if not it states are running out that they are running out. we are running out ukrainians are running out of the unit. terry, artillery weapons amunition. that is not in foster bottom. so the only thing that we have left to provide the ukrainians to stop the russian

would note that the russians have already been implying a cluster munitions on the battlefield. human rights watch says base russia and ukraine have used cluster munitions. so fall in the conflict and has cooled for both sides to stop immediately. as human rights groups call for an end to the use of cluster bombs by name ukraine, a asking, what difference does it make when cruise missiles tanks and drones are already killing people every day? and i put that question to rich, where i'm is a senior crisis and conflict research, a 1st human rights watch as well. and you know, these weapons are inherently discriminant, indiscriminate and are subject to a band assigned by most countries in the world, including germany, for reason of the, on the immediate attacks. these weapons have, they have lasting and serious consequences for civilians. many of these subdivisions fail to explode and they expose civilians for decades to danger. and that danger is serious and life threatening. it could be losing a limb and it could be losing your life. it makes actions like, you know, playing in the field for them on

and this what i want to bring in sir, if human rights watch. uh, once again, as we said at the beginning of the program will, is a dirty business center. and those as be held in our report depleted uranium used by the us and the rock in iraq and 1st gulf war. a 32 years ago has left the legacy of kansas and illnesses among people that didn't other countries bombed by nato, ukraine's also been using british supplied weapons that contain depleted uranium. is human rights watch concerned that the people of the border region in ukraine and russia will suffer in the same way as people in iraq. and we don't have any research on depleted uranium at the moment, so we can get into that a little bit later. let me just make 2 quick comments about what's been said 1st president by and actually made this decision and signed a waiver completely within the rule of law within the united states. it's a shame that he did because congress thought that these weapons were far too dangerous to send anywhere and made a prohibition against transferring them to any wea

or it's, we're is a senior crisis and counseling research her for human rights watch. and earlier he told us more about the bumps, dangerous well, these web is already here. we indiscriminate not just in their 1st use with our 1st is 1st from these large weapons. and deliver over large areas where they can be limited to military objectives, but also because a large number of these are the smaller subdivisions when they saw they don't get any. and with this is their last for years, sometimes decades. and it's a serious, serious danger to civilians or really anyone that comes into these areas and that can be devastating for civilians. are we devastating for retirement efforts? exactly, because these weapons, again are just for me. they don't do it. they don't distinguish between a child or a soldier once they're only around. and ukraine says so that it will deploy the weapons judiciously and that many front line areas are already riddled with land mines anyway. so is there a responsible way of using cluster munitions? while the congregations and the reason that over half

she's a senior women's rights for surcharge. human rights watch and joins us for london. your organization has looked into restrictions on women's rights innovation before what stands out to you about this report as well in positive news? women's rights actually, because i've actually won number of freedoms. now, most governments now allow women to obtain passports and try proposed without guarding permission. but we're seeing outliers. so it on top of the young men continue to have very severe restrictions of women's travel unit on married women must have the husband's permission to obtain a possible end to travel and medical change in mind at any time and prevent them from traveling abroad and cut the we have unmarried women under the age of $25.00. we need an exit permit, usually done through a mobile app. quite then mail guardians and their husbands, even if they do get married, can still buy their travel and human as you've just heard. we have a dispatch to a policy with anywhere and young men of the authorities require women to obtain a, a to get a pos, but she needs

and not as far as ridgeway or with human rights watch. thank you so much for your time. great. speaking to you and well, nato leaders are preparing for a key summit next week that will focus on membership for ukraine and sweden. but there is another significant concern for the airlines, whether it was actually capable of dealing with any threat from russia or retired us general has. so dw nato is not ready, a needle maintained. it's got allies completely covered and they thought protect every inch of allied territory. but candidate nato has forces in fire power, pre positioned in 8 allies along its eastern flank. but if russia were to attack, for example, the narrow gaps between belarus and colleen and grad known as this, a walkie corridor with the aim to cut off the baltic states, we cannot move fast enough. i think this is very dangerous. if the russians can see, and they're aware that we could not get to, let's say this a walking car door for the full sean gates down in romania as fast or faster than russian federation forces could give their retire. general ben hodges as an

what's the human rights watch this position on this? sure, thanks for having me. and let me just say, i deeply respect ambassador taylor and i agree with most of the things that he has said today, except that cluster munitions are going to make the difference in this conflict that has not been proven. it is very hard to see exactly the military utility, because the pentagon has not shared its data either on gun rates or the effectiveness of these weapons against the russian threats. and there are 2 big problems that i see. one is humanitarian. there is no way to make these weapons harmless, absolutely no way, and we have already documented ukrainians using cluster munitions. we just put out our findings earlier this week that civilians ukrainian civilians have already been killed by the ukrainians, using cost through munitions. again, there is no way to make these harmless and 2nd, there is a global norm being broken here. the majority of the nation of the world's nations have bad these weapons specifically because they are too dangerous for the battlefield. i am

she is a senior women's rights researcher and human rights watch. and she joins us now from london. nicely have you with us. your organization has looked into restrictions on women's rights in the region before. what stands out to you about this report? well, investigating the situation across the media region. what i found was that women have actually made significant gains in particular. they managed to win the right to be able to obtain their own hospitals as trouble in most countries. but what's really shocking is that there's still continues to be restrictions on the both old as well as new restrictions. so we found that 15 countries still have found me those that require women to obey their husbands, remain in america home, and get their permission in order to leave the home work or travel beyond this, we also see that there are some outliers in an image for particular have a so in system i'm very harsh restrictions human hasn't moved but basically says everyone is entitled to a passport, but they have a defective policy that requires all women

let's go ahead and bring in our panel of guess from washington dc. lauren seibert works for human rights watch as a researcher on refugee and migrant rights. she's communicating directly with migrant stuck on the border between libya and tanisha from the capital to this. i mean, susie is a political analyst and specialist onto an asian politics and from new haven in the united states, i have the option value as a p h. the candidate at the danish institute for international studies, or research focuses on migration and border policies into egypt, libya, the mediterranean, and the southern borders of europe. a warm welcome to you want. thanks so much for joining us today on inside story. lauren, let me start with you today. you are in touch with many of the migrants and asylum seekers that are stuck on the border between to nature and libya. what's the latest your hearing from them? how dire is the situation they are facing? and are they receiving any help? a thank you so much. the situation is only getting worse right now. i was just speaking with one of them who sent me photos and videos and a

we will speak with human rights watch and with norman solomon, author of the new book "war made invisible: how america hides the human toll of its military machine." then to tennessee. >> friday night a federal appeals court stated in injunction that has caused tennessee's anti-trans law that bans gender affirming care. now the law is in effect and families across tennessee are scrambling and families across the country are wondering what this means for their medical care. amy: we will speak with chase strangio about this major setback for trans rights. and with tennessee lookout editor holly mccall in nashville about how the state attorney general demanded vanderbilt university medical center hand over medical records for patients at its clinic for gender affirming care. we will also speak to democratic state senator sarah mcbride, the highest-ranking trans elected official in the u.s. she is now running to be the first openly transgender member of congress. >> too many politicians what to divide as. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war

but not the united states, ukraine, russia and office human rights watch accuses both ukraine and russia of kenning civilians with cluster munitions. we're working with ukraine to minimize the risk associated with the decision. ukrainian government has offered us assurances in writing on the responsible use of dpi, cm's, including that they will not use around in civilian populated urban environments and that they will record where they use these rounds, which will simple 5 later to mining efforts. we recognize the cluster munitions create a risk of civilian harm from unexploded ordnance. this is why we did for the, for the decision, for as long as we could. but there is also a massive risk of civilian harm if russian troops and tanks roll over ukrainian positions and take more ukrainian territory and subjugate more ukrainian civilians . because ukraine does not have enough for a total of different massive data type. james bays is at the nato headquarters in brussels, with european reaction to the plan. the german foreign minister has already said, she's opposed to sending any cluster mu

and then you, you run a pretty nice the government into what is human rights watch just making this up the. i wish that would give some specific examples because i didn't tell you my time was liberal. judith, she was never into fed what the police was never told to victimize people. 10000 workers of buying, i'm jill today is dies. senior leadership was in jail. me the number of times the opposition did protest not wants to try and stop them. they have never even allowed us to do one piece of protest on the go on your grab, don't listen. this has never happened in history. people are being picked up in the middle of the night. the houses are broken and houses are run by the police. this is, i mean the, the reading of denver, i know. even in general, the shuttle's marshal. it was liberal compared to what is happening right now. in terms the 21, your own human rights commission, back you stands oh, human rights commission, was scaling about what that code your government's deliberate attempts to live. numerous human rights defend the agendas, the government's increasing or sorry, terry an

i put that question to rich, where he's a senior crisis and conflict research a for human rights watch as well. and you know, these weapons are inherently discriminant, indiscriminate and are subject to a band assigned by most countries in the world, including germany, for reason of the, on the immediate attacks. these weapons have, they have lasting and serious consequences for civilians. many of these subdivisions fail to explode and they expose civilians for decades to danger. and that danger is serious and life threatening. it could be losing a limb and it could be losing your lives. it makes actions like, you know, playing in a field for them on your lawn. they could be deadly. and germany is also a country that has experienced, you know, this, of this kind of threat for decades to comment as well. and this is not something that you know, you can train on you already there has been extensive contamination and this is only going to pile long, you know, the civilian har for decades come now, but if these cluster bombs could help you cry and beating back to the russians and potential

human rights watch said this collective expulsion was a violation of international law.deo uploaded to social media july the fifth appears to show a group of migrants in the area between. 0n the coast were tunisia borders libya. the video has not been definitively verified by the bbc but appears to support the claims made by human rights watch of migrants being stranded in this region. these deportations follow months of tension in tunisia targeting sub—saharan africa migrants in the country. now on bbc news: the travel show. this week on the travel show... ..mont saint—michel marks its millennium. that view is pretty amazing. there's the shadow of mont saint—michel on the sand. oh, yeah! the parps and toots that make this port one of a kind. horns blaring one, two, three, four, five. and saving these bundles of fluff from extinction. twittering and squawking yeah, he's thinking about it. all right. we'll give him some time. here he comes. i'm beginning this week in northern france on a journey that 2.5 million people take each year. i'm kind of getting an idea of how po

the human rights watch has documented the use of russian to cluster munitions from the 1st few hours of this and invasion that they conducted and included that includes one of the deadliest attacks conducted against the buildings by rushing forces in the train station and coming towards can we have hall matches since the beginning of this war, but since the bad has been instituted for all parties to stop using these weapons, as this is not about focusing our attention on credit, this is about all parties, not just in ukraine and russia, but everywhere because of the extraordinary farm, these weapons cause a disability and say, continue to cost them long after worst finish, which we have that was shown rights. watch, thank you very much. as they had of nato, you insulting back. convinced that meeting would lead us from turkey and sweden hoping for breakthrough on sweden's natal membership. there was another significant concern for the military alliance that is made. so how prepared is it in europe to provide a coordinated response to any threats from russia? one senior asked us to enr

attacker is using i'm, i'm just talking to and i always feel the day he said why don't those human rights watch other groups like that, try and get rest that stuff using these weapons. and you know, his prediction was that they just know that this would not achieving the russian to unlock directly. so the only likely outcome of these schools would be for the us, maybe to not send these weapons into ukraine to be near enough position where this will continue for longer. and we're actually without more weapons ukraine, they say, will lose more lives. but this will just take longer than it otherwise would. okay, and nick, you know, add to all of that. one of the key concerns is that cluster bombs are in precise and they tend to leave behind a number of unexploded, munitions that know similar to minds. they could post severe risk to civilians just cheese not share that concern, especially considering that these bonds would be used essentially on territory that ukraine hopes to recapture. actually being precise. i think it's important to are fair in mind. that's where the fight is going on. now is n

this like human rights watch says tennessee. it has counted out what it codes collected expulsions of black african refugees and migrants, hundreds and have been rounded up and sent towards libya where they've been denied entry, leaving them strong. us treasury, sex, reach on yelman's as washington invasion need to work together to address climate change yet and was holding round table discussions with climate leaders. often having met china is premier on friday and the us us confirmed it'll send widely found cluster munitions to ukraine. on friday, the un separate general's office said it was against the continued use of custom weapons. germany's government also poses cents. now your credit as president zalinski will attend the nato summit in the lithuanian capital next week . members have mixed views on when keith could enter the security alliance of diplomatic editor james base. but to native secular general about housing landscape will be received. he's going to get the video camera so from there dollars have to be standby u

we can speak now to rich, where he's a senior crisis and conflict researcher for human rights watch. he's currently in berlin. welcome to d w. now, in your opinion, why is the use of cluster bombs so problematic as well? these web is already here. the indiscriminate nauseous and their 1st use when they're 1st dispersed from these larger weapons and deliver over large areas where they can be limited to military objectives. but also because a large number of these are the smaller subdivisions when they fall, they don't get any. and where this happens is their last for years, sometimes decades. and this is huge, serious danger to millions or really anyone that comes into these areas. and that can be devastating for civilian reduction, saving for retirement efforts. exactly, because of these weapons, again, are indiscriminate. they don't do it, they don't distinguish between the child or a soldier once they're on the ground. and ukraine says though that it will deploy the weapons judiciously and that many frontline areas are already riddled with land lines anyway. so is there a responsib

there's a human rights watch says tennessee. it has count out what it calls collected expulsions of black african refugees and migrants. hundreds of been rounded up and sent to once libya would have been denied entry, leading them strong us treasury secretary john young and it says, washington and basing need to work together to address climate change. yelling is holding round table discussions with climate meters of to having met china is premier on friday, and the us has confirmed it'll send widely fund customizations to ukraine on friday to un secular general's office settings against the continued use of custom weapons . germany's government says it was such as is sending stuck as president rep typo on says entre is working to expend the grain export diesel between keys in moscow, ukraine's president flooding has the landscape isn't, is done both the tools, the agreement, which i shows you premium gram can be transported through the black sea is due to expire on july 17th. it's seen as critical level of food security, especi

the ruling has been criticized by many rights organizations, including human rights watch. recent report published by the group paints a bleak picture of the conditions for women in the region. it says many countries in the middle east and north africa still prevent women from moving within their own country or traveling abroad without the permission of their guardian. >> authorities often justify these restrictions by saying they are designed to protect women, and in fact they are a violation of freedom of movement, which is a basic right guaranteed to every person in the world. so these restrictions do not protect women, they deprive them of their rights. reporter: she talks to her children in saudi arabia as often as she can. but being a long distance mother is not easy. >> it's painful for a mother not knowing what her children are doing. what are they eating? what are they watching on tv and on their phones? they can watch anything uncensored these days. i try to communicate with them, but talking to each other via s scr -- via a screen is not enough. reporter: her onl

so these are the details that they gave to human rights watch work as an to many of the rights groups. but now the rapid support for us, it says that those details were inconsistent and accurate, and that the human rights watch should have referred to them before issuing their report. okay, thank you so much that. so i'll just say, let's have a morgan reporting for us from under mine and some done well since the fighting broke out and hard to him in april port. so don has effectively taken over as the administrative capital. the have on file has more easy than 9 pm. i am time using both. so that goes on at least to the to the studio has a police through the state. did you headquarters in costume? no. okay. 5 by off support. forces me to ship the new, i mean what the mutant as far as is attacked all media facilities, including the national tv. so we found it necessary to be launched, a national tv broadcast at the federal level, which we managed to achieve from here in just a few days, nearly all of so that it's major federal institutions followed suit by moving the operations to the s

human recently issued directives requiring women to travel with the mob from full with rick and consent from a male god in the ruling has been criticized by many rights organizations including human rights watch. a recent report published by the group paints a bleak picture of the conditions for women in the region. it says many countries in the middle east and north africa still prevent women from moving within their own country or traveling abroad without the permission of the guardian cathedral doors. he's often justified these restrictions by saying they are designed to protect women in fox, they own a violation of freedom of movement, which is a basic rights and going to a, to every person in the world. these are the cause of these restrictions, do not protect women if they deprives that they're going to. but in the home law, municipal stuff, john leo talks to children in saudi arabia as often as she can but being a long distance mother is no, it's easy to do more. and then it's for a mother not knowing what his children are doing. shahan do, what do they have open the door or do they watching on tv, on the file. but i'm like and watching anything on the seems that they stay some of the

i asked now go out to the pool south without to be such a human rights watch. and so, i mean, 1st of all, there's a humanitarian crisis that is largely a mind with crisis. and made crisis generated by the fact that you have a government that is unaccountable in terms of dispensing, it's due to, to provide for the general population. much of that due to has been elected to she went to the agencies to mentor and agencies who are struggling to meet the needs of nearly 7000000 people in the country. who are eva eva, because they are displaced because of fighting. whether that is correct or previous fighting that has made people's home areas. a people are unable to reach that home area, sophia, or will fight to or in security, or that there's nothing back in the home areas that they fled or that or that they are displaced by floods. no subsidized has faced as a nearly 3 or 4 years of severe flooding in such an area, such as south and unity and other parts of the country. and this time, it induced displacement has also had an impact on august. you went to institution

human rights watch says both russian and ukrainian forces have used cluster munitions already, killingilians and military personnel. so we know the risks of these cluster bombs but how do they work? the munition is fired, before the ammunition or bomblets from the cluster are released. the bomblets then fall to the ground, but not all fall to the ground, which has raised humanitarian concerns. as we said, the usage of cluster bombs is controversial, particularly due to their high dud rate of 10 to a0%, meaning 10 to 40% of cluster bombs do not explode when initially intended. in his press brieifing earlier, us national security advisor jake sullivan defended the decision to send ukraine cluster bombs. we recognise they create a risk of civilian harm from unexploded ordinance, which is why we deferred the decision as long as we could. but there is also a massive risk of civilian harm if russian troops and tanks roll over ukrainian positions and take more ukrainian territory, and subjugate more ukrainian civilians, because ukraine does not have enough artillery. that is intolerable to us

unfortunately, flooring elaborate from the human rights watch in washington. ready lord, we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you. and we want to return now to our top story is really troops beginning to withdraw from the occupied westbank city of geneva. these really military informed me that it carried out in error strike on a cemetery in the east of the city. i'm going to go down to our corresponded rebecca readers. she is on the road now back to jerusalem. she just spent the entire day covering the story for us in janine rebecca. it's been me quite a day to update us on things. what's the latest right now? since has been quite a day and they will make this morning brand where it looks like the operation. what sounded i should say, like, the operation may be coming to an end. but as we were there all day throughout the day that we didn't have that feeling. and when i left the area about an hour and a half a day, now i didn't have the feeling that it was going to be wrapping up tonight. even though the military of these randy military, where i c
