00:00:20Russia amid a wave of deadly Russian
00:00:23Russian strikes on Ukraine. President President Trump signs two executive
00:00:26executive orders aimed at denying
00:00:28denying citizenship to certain children
00:00:30children born in the US questions
00:00:33questions mount about the state of of the US military arsenal after
00:00:36after President Trump denies reports
00:00:38reports of a munitions shortage that
00:00:40that could hinder his readiness.
00:00:51readiness. I'm Helena Humphrey good good to have you with us. Ukraine
00:00:53Ukraine says that it hit two oil
00:00:56oil refineries in multiple strikes strikes deep inside Russia. Thick
00:00:59Thick smoke was seen in the Russian
00:01:02Russian city of Yaroslavl, about
00:01:04about 600km from the Ukrainian border. border. President Volodymyr Zelensky
00:01:07Zelensky says that the attacks on
00:01:09on Thursday sought to limit oil revenues
00:01:11revenues that Moscow uses to finance finance its war. Ukrainian authorities
00:01:16authorities say that Russia killed killed at least 11 people in overnight
00:01:19overnight strikes. The attacks also
00:01:21also caused a total blackout in the the city of Kherson. President Zelensky
00:01:25Zelensky also said that Ukraine had had hit Russian tankers illegally
00:01:28illegally exporting sanctioned oil oil in the Black Sea. Our diplomatic
00:01:32diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams Adams has been granted rare access
00:01:34access to Ukraine's navy as it patrols patrols dangerous waters in the Black
00:01:38Black Sea. Access was given on the the strict condition that the Navy's
00:01:42Navy's precise location was not revealed.
00:01:44revealed. Here's his report. We're
00:01:47We're going on patrol with the Ukrainian
00:01:50Ukrainian Navy out into waters made made increasingly dangerous by Russian
00:01:53Russian attacks. Rare access to a
00:01:56a unit facing constant danger in in a part of the country where a
00:01:59a drone or ballistic missile can
00:02:01can arrive with little warning. Yeah,
00:02:04Yeah, everyone is focused on alert. alert. They fire their guns every
00:02:08every day. This morning it looks
00:02:10looks deceptively calm with its guns,
00:02:12guns, its netting and some of the the other equipment on board. This
00:02:15This vessel can look after itself itself more or less. But what it
00:02:19it can't do is to stop Russia attacking
00:02:21attacking civilian ships coming in
00:02:24in and out of Ukraine's ports. Those Those attacks are increasing and
00:02:28and it's a major problem. There's
00:02:29There's a war out at sea. Russia
00:02:33Russia and Ukraine hitting each other's other's ships, hundreds of them.
00:02:36them. For the past month, the images
00:02:37images have been pouring in. Every
00:02:41Every day we have to rescue crews crews and take measures to prevent
00:02:45prevent these attacks and reduce reduce their number. We're doing
00:02:48doing everything we possibly can. Ukraine is one of the world's
00:02:52world's largest grain exporters. exporters. Before the war, when these
00:02:55these pictures were taken, Odesa's
00:02:56Odesa's ports helped feed the world.
00:02:59world. The country's grain exporters exporters are worried the summer
00:03:02summer harvest is in full swing. swing. Russia's attacks coming at
00:03:05at the worst possible time. I would
00:03:08would say that we already have lost
00:03:11lost the ability to deliver to global
00:03:16global consumer around half 1 million million or 700,000 metric tonnes tonnes of Ukrainian grain and oilseeds.
00:03:20oilseeds. The war at sea is raging,
00:03:23raging, some of it out over the horizon,
00:03:24horizon, some of it right here along along the coast. Ukraine and Russia
00:03:28Russia are looking to exert maximum maximum economic pressure on each
00:03:31each other. For those who live and
00:03:34and work here, life is becoming increasingly
00:03:38increasingly dangerous. Svetlana Svetlana works in Odesa's port. She's
00:03:41She's been limping for the past year
00:03:43year ever since a Russian missile missile exploded nearby, killing
00:03:47killing two of her colleagues the the last few weeks, she says, have
00:03:50have been grim. Oh. Watching low
00:03:53low morale. It's very difficult.
00:03:56difficult. A lot of sirens, a lot
00:03:59lot of drones, a lot of hits. And
00:04:01And for morale it's even more difficult.
00:04:04difficult. People are very tense.
00:04:06tense. What can I say? Look at my
00:04:10my hands. For all its dangers, this
00:04:15this is summer in Odesa. Ukrainians
00:04:17Ukrainians have flocked to the beach.
00:04:21beach. Mostly ignoring the sirens sirens and showing only mild interest.
00:04:25interest. Earlier this week, when
00:04:26when a Russian drone washed ashore.
00:04:30ashore. At the other end of the Black
00:04:32Black Sea on the same day. Seven
00:04:36Seven Russians were killed when an an intercepted Ukrainian drone fell
00:04:40fell on their beach back near Odesa. Odesa. We go looking for the site
00:04:44site of an explosion we heard earlier.
00:04:47earlier. We find 83-year-old Andre Andre Dudek in the shattered ruins
00:04:50ruins of his house and garden. It's It's been just five hours since a
00:04:54a jet powered drone interrupted his
00:04:57his afternoon nap. Somehow he escaped
00:04:59escaped without a scratch. You think
00:05:03think that you are the accidental accidental victim of Russia's attacks
00:05:07attacks on the ports? Absolutely,
00:05:10Absolutely, he says. I won't forget
00:05:13forget this. This war on ships and
00:05:15and ports has many casual victims, victims, sailors, dock workers or
00:05:19or people simply unlucky enough to
00:05:21to live or work nearby. Paul Adams,
00:05:25Adams, BBC News, Odesa. And you can
00:05:27can see more of Paul Adams trip to
00:05:30to Odesa on the BBC News YouTube YouTube channel. Well, President
00:05:33President Trump has signed two executive executive orders in an attempt to
00:05:36to curb birthright citizenship, which
00:05:39which is enshrined in the US constitution. constitution. It comes weeks after
00:05:42after the Supreme Court rejected rejected a previous order deeming
00:05:46deeming it unconstitutional. Well, Well, the orders deny citizenship.
00:05:48citizenship. Who two children whose
00:05:50whose parents come to the US on purpose
00:05:53purpose for their children to become
00:05:55become citizens. Such births are
00:05:58are rare, according to the Migration Migration Policy Institute. The order order also
00:06:05The order also threatens the US citizenship of those born in US territories territories such as Puerto Rico,
00:06:08Rico, but only if Congress changes changes the law to end automatic automatic citizenship there. Well,
00:06:12Well, let's unpick all of this now
00:06:15now with Gabriel Chin, distinguished distinguished professor of law and
00:06:19and the director of clinical legal legal education at the UC Davis School
00:06:23School of Law. Welcome to you. Good Good to have you on the programme.
00:06:26programme. Thank you. These executive executive orders, you know, they
00:06:29they only came out a couple of hours
00:06:31hours ago, but from what you've been
00:06:33been able to surmise, do you see
00:06:35see them as being compatible with
00:06:38with the Constitution? Well, the
00:06:40the one that restricts birth, tourism tourism and directs immigration enforcement
00:06:44enforcement against people coming coming to the United States to engage
00:06:47engage in birth tourism may be good
00:06:50good policy or bad policy, but I
00:06:54I think it's probably not unconstitutional. unconstitutional. The other executive
00:06:58executive order restricting birthright
00:07:01birthright citizenship to a whole whole category, a whole range of
00:07:03of categories of people who are currently currently understood to enjoy it,
00:07:07it, I think raises serious constitutional
00:07:09constitutional questions. I would would say under the latest Supreme
00:07:13Supreme Court decision, Trump versus versus Barbara. Most of it is or
00:07:16or all of it is unconstitutional.
00:07:19unconstitutional. Stephen Miller Miller has said that the President
00:07:23President can do this under travel travel law. Just explain that if
00:07:27if you would. Can he actually do
00:07:29do that? I think that again, in terms
00:07:34terms of the restricting immigration immigration of people coming to the
00:07:37the United States for the purpose purpose of having a child in the
00:07:40the US so that that child could gain
00:07:43gain US citizenship, I think the the President does have some power
00:07:46power to restrict that from happening. happening. But once it does happen,
00:07:50happen, once the child a child is
00:07:52is born in the United States, I don't
00:07:56don't think that the President has
00:07:57has any power to decide that child
00:08:02child is not a citizen. I think that
00:08:04that issue really was resolved in
00:08:06in Trump versus Barbara and the earlier earlier Supreme Court cases on that
00:08:10that issue. A lot of people who come come to the United States come to
00:08:14to the United States so that their their child can have the benefits
00:08:17benefits of living in the United
00:08:20United States and participating economically economically and politically in the
00:08:24the United States. And the mere fact
00:08:29fact that the parents came here to to do that, I don't think, gives
00:08:33gives the President special powers powers to deny the citizenship. Do
00:08:36Do we have any data about how common
00:08:40common birth tourism actually is?
00:08:44is? Well, we're talking about a secret
00:08:47secret intention in the mind of the the mother or the parents. And so
00:08:51so I don't think we have a comprehensive
00:08:55comprehensive data on that issue. issue. But from all the reports that
00:08:59that I've seen, it's a relatively
00:09:01relatively unusual thing. It's a
00:09:03a drop in the bucket in terms of
00:09:06of the millions of births that occur occur in the United States every
00:09:09every year. And therefore the new
00:09:11new citizens that are created, it
00:09:14it it's not as though any significant
00:09:17significant number of people that
00:09:20that we have some mass of people
00:09:24people who were born here as birth
00:09:25birth tourists. It's an unusual phenomenon.
00:09:28phenomenon. And there's another issue issue in this, which you have touched
00:09:32touched on, professor, that executive executive order pertaining to people
00:09:35people born in US territories not
00:09:38not automatically becoming American. American. So for example, Puerto
00:09:41Puerto Rico, for example, although although it has to get congressional
00:09:45congressional sign off is that likely, likely, do you think how challenging
00:09:49challenging could that be? I think
00:09:51think it's pretty unlikely that they're they're going to deny citizenship
00:09:55citizenship to people born in the
00:09:57the US territories. And if they do,
00:10:01do, that just raises the question
00:10:03question of whether that restriction
00:10:05restriction is constitutional. The The Supreme Court decided over 100
00:10:09100 years ago that people born in in the territories were not automatically
00:10:13automatically US citizens, but a a number of justices over the years
00:10:16years have criticised that doctrine. doctrine. Most recently, Justice
00:10:19Justice Gorsuch, who was one of the the dissenters in Trump versus Barbara.
00:10:22Barbara. He thinks it's well past past time to get rid of the idea
00:10:26idea that that there's a separate separate constitutional status for
00:10:29for the territories. And so I think
00:10:32think it's unlikely that a law will will be passed denying those people
00:10:36people citizenship. And if it does
00:10:39does happen, I think there's a serious
00:10:43serious likelihood that that the
00:10:44the Supreme Court would say that
00:10:48that they are citizens under the the Constitution anyway. Gabriel
00:10:51Gabriel Chin, distinguished professor professor of law and the director
00:10:54director of clinical legal education education at the UC Davis School
00:10:58School of Law. Good to have your
00:10:59your analysis. Thank you. Thank you.
00:11:02you. Well, President Trump is denying
00:11:04denying reports that Washington has
00:11:06has exhausted its weapons stockpiles stockpiles during the Iran war. Details
00:11:10Details on US stockpiles are classified,
00:11:12classified, but CBS News, the BBC's
00:11:15BBC's US news partner, cited two
00:11:17two unnamed sources saying that the
00:11:19the US has gone through much of its its long range precision missile
00:11:23missile stockpile. Here's what the the President told reporters at the
00:11:26the White House on Thursday. I rebuilt
00:11:29rebuilt the military and also loaded loaded it up with a lot of stuff.
00:11:32stuff. We have certain types of munitions
00:11:34munitions that are very powerful powerful that we have unlimited,
00:11:38unlimited, virtually unlimited supply. supply. We have others where it's
00:11:41it's a little bit tighter and we're
00:11:43we're getting them in on a daily
00:11:45daily basis. Well, this comes as as Iran seeks to finalise a deal
00:11:49deal directly with Oman over the the Strait of Hormuz. The two countries
00:11:52countries are engaged in talks to to jointly manage the strait, which
00:11:56which before the war channelled a
00:11:58a fifth of the world's oil. Now oil
00:12:00oil prices rose on Thursday after after Iranian media reported that
00:12:04that a parliamentary committee is is weighing a ban on US and Israeli
00:12:08Israeli vessels passing through the
00:12:10the strait. Now, Yemen's defence
00:12:12defence ministry says that it will will respond after Houthi rebels
00:12:16rebels killed at least 30 Yemeni Yemeni government troops in an attack
00:12:19attack on military camps. The ministry
00:12:22ministry says that missiles and drones drones hit several camps in the central
00:12:25central part of the country. A military military spokesperson for the Houthis,
00:12:28Houthis, who control much of northwest northwest Yemen, say that they were
00:12:32were targeting large Saudi military military build ups at the camps.
00:12:36camps. A Saudi led coalition has has supported Yemen's government
00:12:39government against the Iran aligned aligned Houthis throughout the country's
00:12:43country's 12 year civil war. Now Now the fighting has killed hundreds
00:12:45hundreds of thousands of people and and it's displaced millions more.
00:12:49more. Let's talk about all of this
00:12:51this now with Fatimah Abu Ali, a
00:12:54a Yemeni scholar, a non-resident non-resident fellow at the Arab Gulf
00:12:57Gulf States Institute. Good to have
00:12:58have you with us on the programme. programme. Firstly, how significant
00:13:02significant do you see these Houthi Houthi rebel attacks on military
00:13:06military camps in central Yemen as
00:13:08as being. Is this an escalation?
00:13:12escalation? Thanks for having me,
00:13:13me, Helena. This is one of the deadliest
00:13:17deadliest attacks that Yemen have
00:13:20have seen inside its territory since
00:13:22since the truce in 2022. It's a major
00:13:28major escalation and Yemeni soldiers
00:13:30soldiers were killed for and you
00:13:34you know, this has just have been
00:13:37been completely unprovoked. And it's it's not really something that happened
00:13:41happened in the battlefield. It's
00:13:43It's just the Houthis proactively
00:13:47proactively expanding the war, expanding expanding their escalation. We've
00:13:50We've seen them initially go after
00:13:52after Saudi Arabia and now they're
00:13:55they're going after government forces. forces. They're framing it as pre-emptive
00:13:59pre-emptive escalation. But at the
00:14:02the same time, Houthis have been
00:14:04been mobilising for ground war in
00:14:08in this entire duration of the truce.
00:14:10truce. So, Fatima, if the Yemeni
00:14:15Yemeni government responds, what what does this mean for the civil
00:14:18civil war? What does this mean for for those hundreds of thousands of
00:14:22of people who have been displaced displaced over the past 12 years?
00:14:25years? I mean, there has been this
00:14:27this kind of status quo in the country
00:14:30country where people are actually
00:14:32actually fed up the from the insecurity
00:14:34insecurity that's brought in that
00:14:36that Houthis brought at their doorstep
00:14:40doorstep because of their regional regional connections with the Islamic
00:14:43Islamic Republic of Iran. And when
00:14:46when it's becoming increasingly clear
00:14:48clear for locals and the international international community as well,
00:14:52well, that whenever Iran wants to
00:14:55to use a card in negotiations, it
00:14:58it activates the Houthis as a partner partner that would disrupt in order
00:15:02order for Iran to gain strategic
00:15:04strategic leverage. So what happens
00:15:07happens here is that Houthis are
00:15:11are primarily a regional they're
00:15:15they're a regional problem wearing
00:15:17wearing local clothing. It stresses stresses the local communities. And
00:15:21And this is why we've been seeing
00:15:24seeing calls to dislodge the Houthis Houthis and confront them. So there's
00:15:28there's a there's an overwhelming
00:15:30overwhelming desire from Yemeni locals
00:15:34locals to expand actually, the war
00:15:37war and remove the Houthis once and and for all. But there are risks
00:15:41risks with that kind of. There are
00:15:44are risks that we've seen, you know, know, the consequences today is that
00:15:48that the Houthis are capable. You
00:15:51You know, they're not just a small. small. They're not that the same
00:15:54same actor that they were in 2015.
00:15:572015. They've acquired ballistic
00:15:59ballistic missile capabilities, drone
00:16:03drone technology that they're using using to attack their opponents.
00:16:07opponents. So this and they rely
00:16:10rely increasingly on asymmetric methods
00:16:11methods to achieve the power. So
00:16:14So it becomes a very complicated
00:16:17complicated question. But I think
00:16:19think war is, is is likely the civil
00:16:22civil conflict is likely to, to resume. resume. And Fatima, when we look
00:16:26look at the broader picture of the
00:16:29the Iran war as well, I mean, we've
00:16:31we've seen Iran considering the leverage
00:16:34leverage that it has when it comes comes to the Strait of Hormuz, when
00:16:37when it comes to the Houthi maritime
00:16:41maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia
00:16:44Arabia and Bab-el-Mandeb, do you you see them ever wanting to give
00:16:48give up that leverage there with
00:16:50with the blockade to that waterway?
00:16:53waterway? Yeah, absolutely not. They They will not give up that leverage.
00:16:57leverage. Iran spent years investing investing in the Houthis because
00:17:00because they give Tehran strategic strategic depth on the Arabian Peninsula.
00:17:04Peninsula. So they're not just the
00:17:05the local militia. They're one of
00:17:09of Iran's most capable Arab regional
00:17:11regional partners. So when the Houthis,
00:17:14Houthis, you know, escalate, they're they're not only just trying to change
00:17:18change the military balance inside
00:17:20inside Yemen, they're also preserving
00:17:23preserving their credibility as Iran's
00:17:25Iran's most important regional relationship
00:17:28relationship and allowing Iran, you you know, that kind of power projection.
00:17:32projection. And what I'm really concerned concerned about is the Houthis are
00:17:36are an expansion, expansionist militia. militia. They started out of nothing
00:17:39nothing in the mountains of southern
00:17:41southern and south of Saudi Arabia, Arabia, and they continue to grow.
00:17:45grow. So my concern is that they they grow into the government areas.
00:17:48areas. They continue to expand. They
00:17:49They don't have Bab-el-Mandeb now,
00:17:52now, but they can if they continue
00:17:55continue with their ground, any kind kind of ground mobilisation and escalation.
00:17:58escalation. So it's extremely risky risky for the government of Yemen
00:18:02Yemen as well. Fatima Abo Alasrar,
00:18:05Alasrar, their non-resident fellow fellow at the Arab Gulf States Institute.
00:18:08Institute. Thank you for being with with us. Thank you for having me.
00:18:12me. Well, we can turn now to the the fragile situation in Lebanon.
00:18:15Lebanon. And the Israeli army has has carried out strikes in the South
00:18:19South on Thursday, killing one person
00:18:21person and wounding 11 people. It It marks the first Israeli strikes
00:18:25strikes on Lebanon in more than a
00:18:27a month. Well, the IDF called it it retaliation for the deaths of
00:18:30of two Israeli soldiers in an explosion
00:18:33explosion on Wednesday. Israeli forces forces still maintain control of
00:18:36of much of southern Lebanon, a topic topic that dominated the latest round
00:18:40round of talks between the two countries,
00:18:41countries, with the goal of expanding expanding Lebanese control of the
00:18:45the so-called pilot zones, where where Hezbollah rejects the direct
00:18:49direct talks and refuses to surrender surrender its weapons. Reporting
00:18:53Reporting from Beirut is Carine Torbey.
00:18:55Torbey. As the Lebanese and Israeli Israeli teams continued their talks
00:18:59talks in the US embassy in the Italian
00:19:01Italian capital Rome. Israel was
00:19:03was intensifying its attacks in southern
00:19:06southern Lebanon amid concerns of
00:19:08of a renewed escalation. One person person was killed in Lebanon and
00:19:12and others were injured in a number
00:19:14number of Israeli strikes on villages
00:19:17villages in the tyre district in
00:19:19in south Lebanon. That's on Wednesday Wednesday and today, Thursday. There
00:19:23There was also Israeli artillery
00:19:25artillery shelling of several towns, towns, Israel said that those attacks

00:23:46hours or so, Helena, there has been. been. If Fifa wanted to draw a line
00:23:49line under the fair very much the
00:23:51the opposite happening rather entrenching
00:23:54entrenching of positions. Those in in favour have restated that support
00:23:58support those against rather than than backing down as Gianni Infantino
00:24:01Infantino might have hoped to do do after his statement on Wednesday
00:24:04Wednesday night, pretty much doubling doubling down. You mentioned Uefa
00:24:08Uefa reaffirming its stance that that they could well boycott any
00:24:11any Fifa tournaments coming up if
00:24:12if Gianni Infantino remains in post, post, not only because of the conditions
00:24:16conditions that they say that have have not been met following their their initial rejection of those
00:24:20those plans that you outlined, but
00:24:22but also saying that nothing has has changed after that statement
00:24:26statement from Fifa in the last 24
00:24:2924 hours, FIFPRO, who are the players players union globally? They have
00:24:32have called that statement and indeed indeed the meeting that it followed
00:24:36followed a profound abuse of presidential
00:24:39presidential power. But on the other other side of things, you mentioned
00:24:41mentioned the Confederation of African African Football, long supporters
00:24:44supporters of Gianni Infantino as
00:24:45as a whole, but also the constituent
00:24:48constituent member associations as as well, talking about the fact that
00:24:51that they unanimously reconfirmed reconfirmed its support for the Fifa
00:24:55Fifa president, Gianni Infantino. Infantino. Indeed, they thanked him him for his support for African football
00:24:58football over the years. They say
00:25:00say they endorse also the Fifa statement
00:25:03statement from Wednesday night. So So there are those in support and
00:25:06and there are those who are not.

00:25:13confederation have talked about the the fact they didn't like how the
00:25:16the plans would come about and indeed indeed how they were announced, but
00:25:19but those in favour of Gianni Infantino Infantino remain. So those against
