Because it is such an International City theyre very interested in that global perspective. This is a failure of leadership by the worlds most powerful nations condemnation from the un the syrian children bear the brunt of bombings by government and russian forces. In jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a u. N. Report on children and conflict blacklist the saudi arabia Led Coalition and its role in the yemen war but critics say its not enough. U. S. Supreme court clears the way for President Trump to tap into pentagon funds to help build a wall along the mexico border. And fire spike as europes heat wave threatens to melt the arctic ice sheet to record. The u. N. Human rights chief has condemned what she calls International Indifference to the rising death toll in syrias rebel held in the province Michelle Bachelet says those targeting civilians should be charged with war crimes in the past 10 days 104 civilians have died in a strikes in southern italy and 27 of them children a warning viewers may find some of the images and sent out of the port disturbing. They are images that have shocked many a tragedies like this are happening nearly every day in northwest syria where the governments assault is if its there its not. That its a mission of love the law desperately trying to save his daughters as they dangled from the edge of a building destroyed in a syrian or russian airstrike the 5 year old we have held on to our 3 year old sister drove one for as long as she could. But then they fell to the ground i died. Well when struggled for life but later passed away in hospital. The high number of People Killed and injured here particularly children reflects the scale of the humanitarian situation war monitors say there have been at least 800 civilian deaths 200 of them children since the russian backed Syrian Government offensive began in april in the past months at least 33 children were killed according to save the children thats more than in the whole of 2018. They only problem and most of all its the places they live in that are being hit marketplaces hospitals that the facility is schools no one and nothing it is anything more and then. These scenes have become all too familiar rescue workers at times dig for hours to find survivors and remove the dead civilian infrastructure schools hospitals. And help the syrians are protected under International Humanitarian law theyre meant to be spared and yet theyre being impacted more than anything else so there has to be outrage. The latest offensive is no different from previous ones during the 8 year war they are carried out with impunity and little accountability. The pope sent a letter to syrias president bashar assad asking him to protect the lives of civilians the European Union says attacks on critical civilian infrastructure must stop the United States and the u. K. Renewed calls for a cease fire an adlib but the International Community statements have not been backed with action. The bombardment hasnt stopped its intensifying the u. N. Describes what is unfolding in it live as a worsening nightmare for the civilians they are not players in this conflict but International Humanitarian rights organizations say they are being targeted. Istanbul. Well earlier we spoke to Rupert Colleville the spokesman for the uns high commissioner for human rights he says government test drives are relentless and indiscriminate where were definitely seeing a military escalation in general but particularly from the Government Forces and their allies over the past 3 months or so and just in the past 2 weeks i would say its escalated even further with daily attacks and multiple attacks daily i mean over and of what we were talking about this morning we were hearing of more as strikes last night and some early today as well so its ongoing its relentless and the people suffering most of all im not the fighters well the wider issue of child casualties in the worlds conflict zones is a subject of a new report at the u. N. Aljazeera has obtained a copy it says that last year the saudi and iraq to lead coalition in yemen killed or injured 729 children accounting for the hearts of all child casualties in the country and also blames israel for the deaths of 59 children and the injury of nearly 2700 the highest numbers in 4 years in syria strikes barrel bombs and cluster munitions killed or injured more than 1100. 00 children while afghanistan at the most child casualties for another year with 3062. 00 diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. This report comes out every year it makes very grim reading its from the secretary general of the u. N. To the Security Council its not yet been published but aljazeera has obtained a copy of the report in recent years its become a political hot potato with 2 countries not wanting to get mentioned in this report and thats israel and saudi arabia its pretty clear to me from reading this report that theres been political pressure again because inside the report it says that israels responsible for the highest number of deaths of palestinian children 59 in 2800 for 5 years and yet at the end of the report the amex which lists the countries and groups responsible for killing children israel is not mentioned saudi arabia does get a mention on the list but on the part of the list here of listed parties that have put in place measures during the reporting period aimed at improving the protection of children our saudi arabia the saudi Led Coalition in yemen has been under that section for 3 years it does though beg the question if theyre putting measures in place to stop killing children to protect children why are children in yemen still die. Charbonneau is the human director of human rights watch. Its good that the Syrian Government remains. The worst part of the blacklist for what its been doing in the war there same for the military in myanmar and the south sudanese military were quite disappointed by the inclusion of the saudi Led Coalition on what is known as the not so bad part of the list of shame its the category of countries and that are trying to improve that are taking that have put measures in place to improve their record when it comes to protecting the rights of children theres simply no evidence that the saudi Led Coalition has made any improvement and they have been committing appalling atrocities against children for years now since 2015 and to to include them year after year as a as a country that is as a coalition that is improving sort of makes a mockery of it because if they are improving why arent they getting off the list there there is another element to that. The as you said israel is not included in the blacklist although the report highlights some very worrying facts that more children have been killed more palestinian children have been killed largely by Israeli Forces since 2014. U. S. President donald trump is celebrating what he calls a big victory for his southern border wall from the nations highest court the Supreme Court has ruled trump come by the 2500000000. 00 from the pentagon to fund the project in june he was blocked from doing so by a californian judge who ruled that trump needed congressman approval to spend money on the wall well those funds austin a fraction of what trump actually needs reuters is reported but the department of Homeland Security estimates it will cost 21600000000. 00 and it says the war would take 3 and a half years to complete article again as the latest from washington d. C. U. S. President dollars from taking to twitter claiming a huge victory at the u. S. Supreme court and for now it is a victory the conservative justices ruling that he can spend begin spending about 2500000000. 00 in money that was meant for the u. S. Military to begin signing contracts to replace border wall on the southern border now its a little bit more complicated than that basically this lawsuit was over the question of whether the president can simply ignore congress declare a National Emergency and use money the congress doesnt need it for other areas of the government to fund his wall to earlier judges had said we dont know if thats going to be legal but in the meantime you cant build the wall the Supreme Court is saying go ahead you can Start Building the wall but theyre not deciding on the merits of the case they want to let the lower courts work through it make those decisions as to whether or not the president is in his right to do this but in the meantime hes going to declare a political victory and hes going to say the wall is being built well its going to clear finkelsteins hes director of the sense of the ethics and the rule of law at the university of Pennsylvania Law School and she joins us via skype from philadelphia so as usual President Trump took to twitter claiming this is a big victory but his big Campaign Pledge back in 2016 was that mexico was going to pay for the wall so how come now the u. S. Taxpayer has ended up paying for it. In fact thats exactly whats going to happen the u. S. Taxpayer is going to pay for this and the funds are being diverted for other military necessities ironically some of them went to Border Protection so in fact there is a diversion of funds from some of the very same points that donald trump has been arguing is necessary here but the Border Protection in this case was not supposed to be building a wall and as the lead into the story that you have so ably explained this is such a small proportion of the funds that are necessary to build this wall that its really a symbolic gesture on the part of the Supreme Court supporting Donald Trumps authority as commander in chief of the armed forces lets talk about some of the legalities claire i mean come the Supreme Court ruling big challenge because the American Civil Liberties union has already vowed to seek an expedited injunction from the 9th Circuit Appeals Court to overturn the decision but is that going to work. Its very unlikely to work because the Supreme Court has signaled in making this decision that they are likely to to side with the administration on the merits of the case so this was all about whether or not initial use of the funds could be authorized with the trunk in ministration was insisting they have the right to do and i think plaintiffs in this case were well within their rights to say what is the irreparable harm that the government is showing would occur from up holding the stay of execution of the lower courts they just have to wait a little bit longer now the government was claiming that if we dont appropriate the funds now well lose the right to use those funds and Justice Briar was suggesting well you can sign all the contracts but just wait to begin construction that was a very reasonable compromise position there and in terms of the politics of the democrats claim the present
