Were going to have hundreds of miles of wallets fairly soon and its going to make a very big difference but the senate could overturn trumps veto but would need the support of two thirds of senators to do so the fight against trumps border wall continues in the courts sixteen states nearly all of them led by democratic governors are suing the u. S. Government in an attempt to block the National Emergency kimberly health at aljazeera the white house so thats a view of the white house lets bring in rob reynolds hes on the border at sun is cedric to tell us what people there are think of president trumps National Emergency. Well tureen many people here are advocates for Migrants Migrants rights attorneys a civil civil and Civic Leaders and people in the Faith Community would all say that there is a humanitarian emergency but its not here its on the other side of the border in t. Wanna behind me thats where thousands and thousands of migrants from Central America and were hearing now increasingly from strife torn areas in mexico are waiting to apply for asylum into the United States and because the Trump Administration has instituted a policy of very slowly processing only about twenty applications a day and then requiring those asylum applicants to go back to mexico to wait for their cases to be adjudicated that is creating a dangerous overcrowding in shelters. It has become in recent years a very very violent city with one of the highest homicide rates in the world so people will say here theres no emergency here everything is calm on this side of the border but on the other side its a completely different story and those migrants are living on dangerous ground and rob california has been at odds with trump over a wide variety of issues since he took office so how is the states leadership responding to the National Emergency declaration. Well during this is where it gets very very interesting because as kimberly heloc it was just telling us its likely that the president will veto the legislation that came out of the house and senate and that therefore his emergency will not be overturned by congress but california is one of more than a dozen states that has taken the president to court arguing that the National Emergency declaration is unconstitutional and unlawful so the story doesnt end with president trumps veto pen and it will continue in the courts meanwhile the governor of california gavin newsom has been speaking out very strongly recently saying that the border wall is quote a monument to stupidity to some also saying that the federal authorities are not doing what they were acquired to do by law to take care of migrants who are who have entered the United States Asylum Seekers or asylum applicants and so the state and local governments face a strong burden a heavy burden in picking up that slack and newsome is asked for twenty five Million Dollars from the state legislature to help with migrant aid all right ron brownstein. Still to come. Rescue workers give up looking for survivors in a collapsed building. A. Syrian rebel stronghold. Or. Drop Long Distance running events. Turkey says interpol is trying to find and arrest twenty people in connection with the killing of saudi journalist. Earlier saudi arabia tried to assure delegates at a u. N. Conference that those responsible have been brought to justice the barker reports from geneva. It was a brief statement by the head of the Saudi Human Rights Commission but its raised many new questions about the murder of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi the saudi said that the perpetrators of the killing described as an accident have been brought to justice for three hearings attended by their lawyers and observe his we have brought them to justice they had a fair trial they are currently detained not their human rights been violated they have been subjected to no form of torture they are entitled to their legal rights but the saudi delegations failure to provide any names or details hasnt inspired much confidence of the Human Rights Council the uns repeatedly called on saudi arabia to cooperate with the un led investigation into show g. s murder but the kingdoms refused calling it an internal matter saudi arabia operates pursuant of International Law it does so in all transparency therefore what is being conveyed by certain media regarding the need for us to internationalize some of these matters is something we do not accept because such demands amount to interference in our Domestic Affairs and in our domestic judicial system this activist disagrees if you was the International Independent investigation thats mean they are hiding something and what they are hiding very hiding very name for the pair so in order to all of this operation of the person who ordered this operation he is still safe and hes still leading the country the Saudi Crown Prince continues to face tough questions from the International Community about his alleged role in ordering the killing and other alleged human rights abuses questions the leadership has repeatedly avoided answering what weve seen from the outset since this whole whole saga became became public has a series of obfuscations and denials by saudi arabia some cases where their accounts simply do not fit the facts and so its very difficult to have confidence in there and the narrative. The saudi report comes a week after thirty six countries including all twenty eight e. U. Nations issued a joint statement condemning saudi arabias treatment of detained activists ten womens rights activists have gone on trial in saudi including prominent figures in the campaign to win saudi women the right to drive activists say theyve been subjected to torture and sexual assaults the Saudi Human Rights Commission left the un leaving a whirlwind of questions there is a growing feeling among many Human Rights Council members the saudi has a very did scrutiny for far too long and now it should be the role of the International Community to hold saudi to account.

All over again the top stories on the aljazeera news hour and youre looking at live pictures right there off of gaza were getting reports of explosions on aircraft being heard over the strip after rockets were fired from gaza towards tel aviv denying responsibility of firing those rockets shortly well speak to him in on hamas for us over there Harry Fawcett in west jerusalem any official word from israeli authorities about whats going on right now in gaza. Very brief in the last few minutes the Israeli Military has confirmed that it has begun carrying out strikes on gaza it says the details will follow but as you say there are already reports coming through from gaza of people seeing and hearing those retaliatory strikes for themselves explosions heard in Southern Gaza people on twitter talking about planes flying overhead and rockets being released from those planes so it is clear that i think what we can all expect to be a fairly major retaliatory strike is now under way Benjamin Netanyahu went to the Defense Ministry in tel aviv very soon after that initial rocket attack on Television Two rockets detected fired from the gaza strip earlier on thursday evening. Defense consultations going on with senior members of the Israeli Military led by the Prime Minister and then fairly shortly after that meeting broke up less than half an hour after that meeting broke up the first indications that that response was already under way so is there a feeling harry that this is going to escalate and not just stop here. Its certainly going that i would imagine will be more than what weve already heard and seen so far the i think the feeling is here that and indeed the indications from israeli sources talking to the israeli media is that this will be a major attack or a tree strike the question is whether they can strike the balance between it being enough politically just a few weeks out from the election on april the ninth to try to ward off any further accusations that Benjamin Netanyahu has been too soft on hamas a lot of those running in this election including his Education Minister enough tally bennett who runs for who heads a Different Party is not part of netanyahu is part of the coalition and leading a new new right party he came out and said that hamas now has to be entirely military minute mirah tell it militarily defeated in the response that of course would lead to a major conflict another gaza war i think the indications are that Benjamin Netanyahu doesnt want to see that happen but at the same time he cant afford to come across as being too soft in israeli political terms either so the question is can he do enough i mean he is ahead in the polls he has come back from a pretty strong initial showing by the major opposition this new party this new fusion of of a new party and an existing one led by or least with senior figures being three former israeli chiefs of staff so he does have some potential political room not to overly go for it and lead inevitably towards a war but he needs to do something politically to show that he is responding to what is the first rocket attack on television since two thousand and fourteen ok gary foster with an update from wester islam thank you and youre looking at live pictures from gaza right now over to about him that im on law thats in the occupied west bank to tell us what how must has been saying about all of this and up. Amasses military wing has issued a statement denying any involvement involvement in the three two rockets that were launched from the gaza strike earlier today they have said that they were in a meeting with the egyptian delegation that has been coming to gaza in the past week and weeks rather to talk about a long term ceasefire with the israelis so we also heard from the interior ministry saying that whatever launched these rockets behaved outside the National Consensus and that they will be that there will be measures taking against those who who did the attack so were seeing a lot of interest in denying any involvement in that latest escalation as well as how mass evacuating its major posts in the gaza strip and for hamas why is the group this thing distancing itself from the rocket attack what are we to make of that this comes at a very sensitive moral moment for the movement they have been under siege for suits so long and there has been measures taken by the Palestinian Authority that has limited the Financial Stability of the have mass rule in the gaza strip that has been also many people who are actually today that has been an attempted protest in the gaza strip to talk about the increased cost of living and the tough situations on the ground and as well as it have come at a time with hamas is discussing with the israelis a potential cease fire deal so all of this will tell us that there is an interest in a stability in the gaza strip and not an escalation all right to him with an update from on the situation in gaza thank you. Members of the u. S. Congress have joined human rights organizations to demand the release of a dual american saudi citizen whos detained in riyadh dr where leeds say he has been held for more than a year without charges or trial his son called on the saudis to let his father return to the u. S. This whole situation of me there in prison really doesnt make any sense whatsoever i mean were talking about one of the muslim citizens you would ever meet im here today to call on the authorities to release my father to right or wrong and to end this nightmare for my family and i lets bring in Amy Hawthorne shes the Deputy Director for research at the project for middle east democracy she was on that panel and shes joining us from washington good to have you with us on aljazeera amy so what was the message that you were trying to send out by participating on that panel the message that we were all trying to send out was to give a platform for family members of some of the many did to unjustly detained saudi citizens and in this case also a dual saudi american and to say that this mistreatment must stop those unjustly detained should be released and to show the importance that the u. S. Congress places upon this issue of course the event was held in the u. S. Congress and featured several members of Congress Speaking out as well yeah how unprecedented is it that such an event was actually held in congress and involved members. Well sadly its not completely unprecedented because of the number of human rights abuses that are occurring in saudi arabia and indeed across the middle east and north africa there are many many family members and friends and supporters of unjustly detain people who come to congress and use that as a venue to speak out about their cases and were fortunate many of these cases as we were today to have the vocal support of several important members of Congress Speaking out and underlining the messages of the family members that their loved ones should be released without delay so do you think that events like actually put pressure on the kingdom yes i believe they do because in my estimation the leadership of saudi arabia is counting on the family members of these victims of these terrible human rights abuses as well as the u. S. Public and u. S. Lawmakers counting on everyone to remain silent and to basically let them proceed with these actions with these abuses with impunity so its extremely important to call public attention to these cases to reiterate the American Interest in these issues in saudi arabia and to speak out and speak honestly and speak the truth about what is really going on inside saudi arabia underneath the facade of the a legit reforms that mohammed bin so man the crown prince is purportedly leading yet you still do have a Trump Administration that is willing to continue to do business as usual with saudi arabia and muhammad been some. In the wake of the killing. Thats absolutely right unfortunately this u. S. Administration the executive branch of our government here in washington has basically tried to sweep all of these problems under the rug whether its the assassination of. Or the womens rights activists detainees or other saudis who many believe are unjustly detained and allegedly have been tortured and mistreated in other ways in detention the trumpet ministration has has basically tried to sweep these problems under the rug and move on and continue business as usual and thats why its so important in this situation that members of congress are speaking out and saying no the United States is not going to turn a blind eye were not going to stop talking about these problems and were going to continue speaking out and intel intel we see justice Amy Hawthorne rethink you for speaking to us from washington Syrian Government forces have shelled residential areas in southern adlib province attacks in the region of escalated in recent days as assads government stepped up pressure on one of syrias lost rebel strongholds the number of dead from airstrikes on the city of it live on wednesday has risen to seventeen with the means has more from near turkeys border with syria.
