because the different rebel groups, like the free syrian army, and al nusra front were fighting each other and he decided he was not willing to die for free for a purpose other that jihad. >> the departure shocked his family. it was through facebook that he connected with a syrian fighter. he used the money his parents gave him to pay university tees to buy a plane ticket. from there he got into syria, when he returned to jordan he was arrested at the airport. more than 2,000 jordanian fighters in syria come from across the country, a third are from sarka, the most of any area. sarka is home to other fighters. whilst poverty and unemployment have fushed religious men who feel marginalized to leave for foreign battlefields many leave the stable lives and families

behind. mote faith by their belief. many who are religiously conservative see syria as a launching pad for their project and impose islamic law. for men growing up in saabinga, fighting in conflict is a potential career path. others blame policies that are home to foreign fighters. >> most people that leave here have no future. they suffer social injustice. many are deprived of jobs. jihad becomes the goal of these men. >> the father hopes the court appeal will reduce his son's prison sentence saying his son was exploited and mislead in the battlefield next door.

>> robert is the senior vice president at the sufan group and serves as the intelligence official. good to have you with us. i want to start with a couple of points that niz reen made. one on the positive side showing the fighter coming back. we heard that coalition bombing is making - is fractureing i.s.i.l. do you think we'll see more fighters disengaging and leaving. >> that's a big question. if we see a pattern perhaps represented from omar. you have a young man. say as a case study. idea yolized. self-recruited, finds out how misser ag line is under the nusra front and finds a way to make his way back home if one

buys into the idea of the caliphate and goes to help establish the caliphate and makes it grow. it's a complicated situation to make the decision to leave. that, in itself is a mitigating factor. >> on the alarming side in her story, we are hear her talk about this being a career path. how big a problem is that how do you fight it. >> it depends on where you are talking about. what country, what regions of countries, what part of the world and what demographic. when you talk about jordan there are changes. in the region you have a place like zachar. which is a hot bed for a radical storm for a conservative brand

of religion unemployment for then between the ages of 18 to mid 30, you could, in a tense, say it point to a career path. >> king abdullah has he can tillized on the anger for burning a jordanian fighter to death. does he have more support. >> i have been talking with friends and contacts in jordan through this. they said one most social it was a sea change this attitude on the jordanian streak once the lieutenant was executed. as was most likely and not surprising, there was an attitude in jordan - look enemy number one is i.s.i.l. my contacts tell me there's an underlying feeling in some places in jordan. in the city of marn where there's a deep tradition, a conservative brand of islam. it's not that it went away.

the flags are still somewhat of an attitude on the border with syria. >> king abdullah was forceful. they were the outlaws of muslim and muslim nations must win the battle. first and foremost, will they do it. >> it's refreshing to hear a leader repeat that refrain to countries, he said first it must start within the majority muslim world, meaning our neighbourhood. that has to be an ingrepted. for the -- iningredient. from the rest of the war, the things that add up to alienation, disenfranchise: repress by regime, they must be dealt with in a wholistic sense, particularly where the conditions exist. >> jordan has been bombing in

syria and iraq. do you think other nations will be more aggressive? >> it remains to be seen. the other parties, saudi arabia, qatar, continues to support the coalition turkey as well. one of the key things with coalition members aligning their priorities, is it alas add regime first or i.s.i.l. >> that's a lot of differences of opinion. >> robert mcfadden. senior president. >> thank you. >> the british parliament questions the families of three teenage girls that travel to syria. the u.k. is debating new laws serve airlines who they expect are at risk. >> airline staff could mistake small girls for friends. we know teenagers left their family in london to join fighters in syria.

it's estimated hundreds of britains have done the same. some girls go to marry fighters others to fight, torture and kill. eager to stop them members of perimeter ask the girl's family what signs they could look for. they said there were no clues. >> we monitored what she did when she was on the phone. she was reading books on there, she was playing games, joining in, having competitions in that sense we feel like we had monitored as match as we do missed something out. >> the father had this warning. >> be vigilant not to fall on the same trap. also under scrutiny the airlines carrying these girls and others out of britain. the government pushes through measures to make them more

accountable. >> it's the authority to carry the scheme and could stop britains and foreigners to travel. a terror prevention and investigation group. it could fine airlines if they fail to provide detail destinations, and stop airlines from flying into the u.k. if they fail to comply with security directions. these and other powers in the pipeline will enhance the government's ability to monitor and control the actions of those imposing a threat. the girls were not on a watch list, the measures would not have stopped them, and the fear is they'd follow. >> the u.k. says russia could be a significant security threat. the british foreign secretary announced agencies are stepping up gel geps gathering, and recruiting russian speakers, it was warped the russian threat

was growing and called the countries and its adversaries. >> we are now faced with a russian leader bent not on joining the international space system that keeps the peace between nations, but on subverting it hammond warned of sanctions and threatened to publicise information on private assets. russia appears to be developing its military capability. u.s. officials denounced rush owe for a rein of terror. assistant secretary of state told a panel that separatist rebels unleashed upspeakable violence on the people of ukraine. moscow has sent tanks and equipment to the region. 64 soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire. >> iran warped -- warned about

anywhere between 500,000 and a million were killed. all three were considered genocide by the united states. ronald sunni is a professor is the the universally of michigan and a director of the institute for historical studies. good to see you. 44 states in the u.s. recognised the massacres in ar mania. many other countries have, the european parliament has. why has the u.s. government never defined it that way. >> it's an ally of al jazeera, and they felt they needed to maintain the relationship with the turkish state. during the cold war, al jazeera is on the front line. with soviet union, communism. after that was over, it was the iraq war, afghanistan bases in al jazeera from which we could fly, and now it's i.s.i.s. there has been a permanent crisis and al jazeera's

particular and peculiar geopolitical setting makes it invaluable to the united states considering the genocide something that needs to be ignored. >> what is keeping the turkish government from acknowledging what happened 100 years ago in its history. would the narrative be different if turkey had not won the war. >> al jazeera's state was founded on the ottoman empire. it carried out the genocide. after the end of world war i, the nationalist most basically stopped the allies from consolidating victory and came out to form the new state. that whom episode, or the liberation war is the foundational moment of the state as it exists today. that moment the turkish government and people don't want to tarnish with a memory that

their ancestors, many of the people that formed the first government in the turkish republic actually carried out the mass killing of 600,000 to a million and a half of their subjects. that is too much to accept. >> you are of armenian dissent. talk about your personal connection to all of this and whether you feel this stage history is being forgotten. >> the armenian genocide is the forgotten genocide. it isn't talked widely it's not known well in al jazeera, where it's erased from the history books, and the open wound, is a pain that armenians still grieve for martyrs of that time have not been able to deal with satisfactorily. my grandparents came from two cities. which is now part of kurdistan,

with respect the turkish republic and they escaped or left al jazeera long before the genocide, after early massacres. we heard about the genosite we heart about what had happened. people did not speak openly about it. it was there. it was a secret expressed through pain through song. when i became a teacher and historian i voted what had happened and why. >> recently i produced a book. that phrase they can live in the desert is a quote from the actual architect of the genocide professor ronald gragor sunies, thank you for joining us. after being declared a

rights? >> we can't know for sure one way or the other. this is a difficult situation. but the - there are two things going on one is the law, the educational law. the other is the way that the government is hand thing student protests. protests with the satisfaction with the law. >> it's not just this crackdown, we have minority group, the muslim rohingya facing one of the worst violations of human rights. a campaign of ethnic cleansing. tens of thousands in squalleded camps. you have written that you believe the government seems committed to achieving peace. do you think that's the case? >> i absolutely believe that that government is in office in myanmar seeks peace. the problem is that the

government does not control all of levers of power. it appears not to have full control of the military and there are elements of the military that continue to wage this historic battle against the minorities on myanmars borders. >> president obama visited twice, suspending sanction but now people on both sides are calling for tougher sanctions because of the declining human rights records. you have written that this could not be solved from the bully palpit. what should the u.s. do. >> the u.s. has very little leverage in this case. the u.s. is look 12 times on the way. this is a country and has china on one side - and india is on the other side.

it has neighbours asian neighbours like thailand. and indonesia. >> there's a lot of... it is looking for more foreign investment from the united states. and one final option is that myanmar is holding elections. the leader best known in the united states is nobel peace prize winner. she can't run because of a ban on people that marry foreigners. do you think the elections will be fair to the opposition? >> it is quite possible that the elections will be conducted fairly. it is also possible that aung san suy kyi will not become the ft. the transitions that is under way is difficult. we should think very carefully as a country how we nudge the country in a positive direction

and it's certainly not going to happen by imposing so sanctions in a knee jerk reaction. >> good to have you with us. thank you. >> crews have recovered the bodies of so people including some athletes. they were in argentina filming a reality tv show when the accident occurred. >> reporter: the accident happened at the end of filming in a remote region in the west of argentina, the video capturing the moment the two helicopters crashed. there were no survivors. the victims included the french swimming staff who won gold silver and bronze medals at the 2012 olympics. >> you don't take in. true i won my 400m title.
