4:07 pm
a week. eritrea seems soldiers and tanks to attack bad me and over the next to me is the conflict spread to long almost the entire ethiopia eritrea border the war ended in december two thousand with the algiers agreement a commission to decide blame and claims for the war each country presented their position ethiopia charge that eritrea attacked military and police units as well as civilians it says eritrea killed and injured its people by shelling mines murder rape detention and abduction eritrea says it was acting in self-defense as ethiopia was unlawfully occupying its territory the claims commission concluded that eritrea was to blame for starting the war and had invaded ethiopia in may one thousand nine hundred ninety eight but it drew up new boundaries that put bad may in eritrea territory and deemed ethiopia had to give it back ethiopia for the decision and its troops refused to leave bedmate until now sixteen years later ethiopia's ruling
4:08 pm
party under the leadership of a new prime minister agreed to on of the decision it is. a difficult a decision because more than seventy thousand lives out of the right there in darkness and after all of the war is going to last giving up about the man who is a little bit later think it is going to end in ethiopia but for eritrea it's a victory africa's unfinished war is finished the day will get bedmate the small town that started this conflict. now the world is a less peaceful place than at any other time in the last decade that's according to a new study done by the global peace index the four most peaceful regions europe north america asia pacific and south america all recorded separations due to high incarceration rates terrorism and government corruption iceland remains the most peaceful country in the world for tenth year in
4:09 pm
a row in contrast syria remains the least peaceful country in the world a position that has held for the past five years four of the largest five largest improvements occurs in sub-saharan africa in gambia the election of president saddam or borrow or political stability in the middle east and north africa remains the world's least peaceful region as our experience the single largest terrorist induced the ongoing economic boycott placed on it by the u.a.e. saudi arabia egypt and bahrain. steve killer day is founder and c.e.o. of the institute of economics and peace the think tank that launched the global peace index reporting joins us now live from london good to have you with us first of all here just talk us through these findings of peace doesn't just mean the absence of war does. so the way we've constructed the global. why we've constructed the global peace index is we measure three different domains first ones ongoing conflict sickness militarize the third is internal safety and
4:10 pm
security we bring in three together to create a holistic measure of peace so this measures both the internal state of peace within a country and also the external states of places world but even though peace is dropped over the last decade and been a consistent gradual decrease risk to many many countries which have cut become more peaceful for example over the last decade seventy five countries improved their place compared to eighty five which decreased. but overall the the outlook there given the trends that don't trend is rather bleak doesn't it because it's selling a decline in peacefulness over the last ten years do you expect that continue do look at projections here. where we don't actually make projections of the place into the future but what i would say if we look at the state of global peace in
4:11 pm
this in the last what has caused the deterioration is the conflicts which are right in the middle east and north there rica and so if we can actually solve those conflicts we will actually likely to get a much more improved state of peace and less clerkly one of the things which most people don't realize actually over the last decade the liberals of militarize a nation globally have actually decreased not increased so if we look at that what with found this one hundred four countries decrease their spending on the military as a percentage of g.d.p. and one hundred fifteen countries actually have list troops near the what they had a decade ago don't we look at the middle east however it's the most the militarized region of anywhere in the world right but why just i don't in excess want to that just just pick up on that militarization point and ask why you think countries are becoming less militarized. well i think the reason for that is in the number of
4:12 pm
regions of the world and this is particularly true it's. in africa or a south america let in america the relationships between the various countries are improving and therefore the need for the militarized levels of militarization snored a strong as what it has been in the past however if we did go to europe for example the limits of militarization spending there now is starting to rise again because of the pressure being put on the european nations through ameri corps and nighter. there spending a treaty paid in two to two percent. ok very interesting indeed to speak to steve keller les thank you very much for joining us there from london. thanks for having us on the show. now hungary's parliament is debating a bill that would make it a criminal offense to help asylum seekers that's part of a crackdown on immigration by prime minister viktor orban right wing government

4:14 pm
government. for any reason. maybe a tag may face serious threats like we do now those who work with refugees who are promoting the rights of refugees and equal human rights for. the advance of ban has been unstoppable in three successive elections the advance meanwhile of illegal migration of fear much promoted during the election campaign has been pretty comprehensively stopped there are more than a few hundred successful asylum seekers in hungary it is as if these new measures being debated are aimed less at migration itself and more civil society which brings us to the other great fear that stalks hungary's prime minister the billionaire financier george soros the network of liberal minded n.g.o.s he supports the government spokesman explained he made it clear. he thinks of europe he's pro democracy he's probably. right the kind of democracy in the form
4:15 pm
of democracy he promotes and his organization is very far from real democracy because they rely or would like to realize all the n.g.o.s that have been founded and financed by. minded people. the new measures are collectively known as the stop soros bill in response to the soros funded open society foundations announced last week it was pulling out of hungary that's the last free thinking society but when for one of europe's most liberal governments that looks increasingly saleable jonah holds al-jazeera beautifulest. thousands of people have been demonstrating across check cities against the appointment of prime minister for a second time. has been acting as caretaker since january when his one party line or two lost the confidence votes in parliament but in this is planning to form a government supported by the calling this policy protesters accused of links to

4:18 pm

4:21 pm
a very important force of and from a shame for many people around the world when all the camera has gone i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. collateral damage or indiscriminate bombing the u.s. led coalition was fighting i still in the syrian city of raka but it's accused of killing hundreds of civilians this international says that could amount to war crimes so can the coalition be held accountable this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. i reports by amnesty international says there's
4:22 pm
strong evidence the u.s. led coalition fighting isis in iraq violated international law and may have committed war crimes here are the reports main findings hundreds of civilians were killed and thousands wounded by coalition strikes this crime disproportionate and indiscriminate i still use civilians as human shields by the coalition didn't take enough precautionary to avoid casualties british and french forces were also involved by the us was a responsible for more than ninety percent of. more attacks were launched on than an aware since the vietnam war called on the coalition to investigate claims of violations publicly acknowledge the scale of devastation and compensate victims a coalition spokesman says persistent efforts were made to minimize harm to
4:23 pm
civilians. the u.s. led a four month campaign dubbed a war of annihilation by defense secretary james mattis to flash ice a lot of rocca coalition warplanes and special troops supported an offensive launched by mainly kurdish syrian democratic forces as d.f. to take the city rock lies in the north of syria and i still declared it the capital of its caliphate into a thousand and fourteen i still controlled large territories of iraq and syria rocka was a main stronghold the planning center for attacks around the world especially after mosul fell to iraqi forces but in a toll it's also lost iraq part of the much of the city is in growing and many of its three hundred thousand population fled during the fighting let's bring in our guests joining us from london and hide syria consulting research
4:24 pm
fellow of the chatham house from beirut. military analyst and retired general in the lebanese army and by skype from a writer in italy is just well and this director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma thank you all for joining us. can the outcome of the report legal action against the u.s. led coalition well basically the scale of. casualties on the ground among civilians is what the report i thing is asking for because we don't know the scale exactly what we know so far is that their report confirms what locals have been saying for months during and after that that gorica they have been saying that a big number of civilians have been has been killed they also mentioned civilians
4:25 pm
and other parts of syria not only iraq. was killed by u.s. led coalition strikes but so far we don't see serious efforts from the coalition in order first to investigate and to be transparent about the results of those. investigations so unless that is basically clear and transparent we cannot really assess what the scale of the vacation that we are talking about here in the. syrup or talks about the sport disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks that could. be described as potential war crimes how significant is this report from a military perspective. yes it is it is a war crime when you kill hundreds of civilians to say that this is collateral damage is not an excuse the u.s.
4:26 pm
led coalition should resort to other means in order to. win the battle for example if they impose a seizure on iraq and try to negotiate with the people inside and try to. reach a settlement with them and the other solution better than one being if with. thousands of air sorties or thousands of. artillery rounds and killing the innocent with the. men together instead of that they should have resorted to peaceful means in order to to minimize the damage and to save as much as they can civilly and from the damages of this war understand that the ass that the coalition is fighting isis which is an
4:27 pm
. organization. with great terrorist actions where all over the world but that doesn't mean that they include civilians with them and harm the civilians and kill them. so i think that the center for international airport should. the base of for an inquiry mission in order to make all of these people had more light around double what they have done just what the coalition says that it has it took extraordinary measures to minimize civilian casualties but i mean you see the amnesty international report. testimonies from activists on the ground basically saying that areas were completely wiped out during the campaign to evict eisel from iraq. yes we've seen this over and over again if we look at ramadi we look at for the new show we
4:28 pm
look at it with a look at russia that's of course on the coalition side all of those cities eighty eighty five percent of the house and completely destroyed lots of firepower many civilians will undoubtedly killed. but if we look on the syrian and russian side of course we saw the same thing we saw a tremendous condemnation on the part of the west towards the bombing in aleppo homs many other places and most recently of course the suburbs of damascus and odorless and all of these places very similar situation it just underlines how difficult it in warfare is and how brutal all war for it becomes we look at this in reflection of the second world war for example where the war was ended in japan of course by first fire bombing tokyo the single largest day of deaths in the
4:29 pm
second world war and then the japanese did not surrender after one hundred thirty thousand were killed in one day hiroshima nagasaki two hundred thousand mostly women and children incinerator not because they were a strategic importance neither city was but because they had been unbent and they could be a demonstration effect and this of course caused the japanese to surrender and this you know in a sense this lesson of using overwhelming brutal force breaking the morale of the people. is in a sense a lesson that lives on and every army tries to do it use overwhelming force we see that the end up many wars it leads to this kind of all out brutality and we see it here again and of course the coalition tried to cover up their tracks to a certain degree by saying smart bombs were being extra careful we have to kill civilians and being duplicitous lying about the numbers of so they kill and yet we
4:30 pm
can't escape the fact just has wrecked tremendous human damage and we're seeing the same thing in yemen where we keep on getting reports of ten thousand people killed because nobody's counting anymore and all newspaper journalists are complicit and they keep on using the word two thousand and we know because inside is it's massively more than that you know if there's just one is there some of those areas journalists are restricted from going to those areas to independently verify exactly what's going on hides following up with with the what mr just was saying do you think that this could pave the way for activists operating on the ground different organizations to come together to try to uncover exactly what happened. well definitely since the fighting stopped i think we have a great opportunity for people to be able to verify what happened there but for that to happen there are
4:31 pm
a few issues that need to be taken into consideration the first one is that those groups or individuals should be allowed to enter the area and be protected in that area and they should be given access to different different people in different areas meaning whether some people were displaced to other cities or were detained or they're living in displaced camps outside of that's one issue all the other issue is that they should be allowed to give access to military on for a mission and stand up some of this information might be a classified but there are those without access to those information people will not be able to verify if what happened what they were for basically ammunition was you was what the number of the official number that was reported in order to compare it to that the number on the ground so few issues need to be taken into consideration in order for people to do that so far we don't see that happening
4:32 pm
that. basically did a geisha when there was given access to people on the ground but i think they were not given access to military information and this is why they were not able to compare notes and they were not able to come out was basically concrete. figures as the. u.s. led coalition in its attempt to try in a supposed to defeat i said has been using overwhelming force particularly in iraq in syria and also in mosul in iraq the find is now of amnesty international to what extent could change the rules of engagement in the near future if the coalition meets similar situation in different places amnesty and its. reports that they interview of dozens of people each one of them told what. was with them and their families or how many people from their families were killed
4:33 pm
and the one being of the. coalition and the cats still in front of these witnesses who saw their families. being killed so there are people killed there are someone who killed them the u.s. led coalition so to do what very thick a shingle we need now other then this witness and this proof from the u.s. led. war planes or artillery or missiles or other things so i mean there is a necessity for an inquiry mission in order to put an end of this bad conduct during the war. thought that the syrian army is not to do. what they're called for to amende and their conservation
4:34 pm
and some of the fight the shores to leave the area to another safer area for them and others chose to stay. saved. you know a lot of the. really and we contest that a through and that means you know going to affiliation why did they don't garnish and did not know this you know it is that we cannot see is syria government as an example they have used barrel bombs in different areas killing thousands of people more than half a million people according to different as it is so that i don't think there should be as a as a next example but let me go to just where this is a totally different well just well what can you expect the international community to react how what should be the appropriate reaction to the finding of obviously international a united nations inquiry a judicial disarray kayser what should be the case well first of all you know we
4:35 pm
can talk about what should happen and what will happen what will happen is that this report will probably disappear with many other amnesty ports in the war part of the coalition is france great britain united states all members of the security council. the u.n. will not be able to investigate this in any meaningful way i imagine and and it only underscores the brutality as you were just mentioning of this entire war and it if if an investigation is brought into iraq of course the americans and the coalition will say well then you have to investigate isis you have to investigate the brutality of the syrian regime of the russians that everybody will want to investigate everybody else and they're all guilty of course of killing many people this is going in extremely brutal war and. you know in many ways this this
4:36 pm
underlines. also the control of the media in a place like rocko where there was almost no media coverage of anywhere we didn't have anybody inside iraq getting information out there were very few groups there was this one rucka group that that was reporting and it have information from inside but it didn't have good coverage and it's also the demonization of the enemy which is part of modern warfare it's much more effective than it used to be and because isis was demonized and one can say well rightfully it was demons but it allowed the coalition to carry out this war of total destruction and with the with the insistence that all isis members should be killed on the battlefield and captured and this meant that there was a great hesitancy to negotiate and this is what we've just been hearing from your
4:37 pm
other commentator here in beirut is that negotiations are crucial you cannot demonize the other side to the point where it becomes ok to kill large numbers of civilians in order to and we've seen in this war on every side civilians have been tracked and they've been used as hostages because because air power is so devastating the only place for groups like isis or other militias to harvest in urban areas and they have to retain the population with them in order to try to scare you know the coalition or the syrian and russian air force not to bomb because they'll be worried about the collateral damage and this leads to an escalation and the an a in a sense of parousia point where yet i mean we've seen the media has spoken about the moment it was taken over by the butt of a since there's not much about what's about the city what's the situation like over
4:38 pm
there now. well i spoke to many people over the past weeks who are either a luck or a car or in the countryside and they said basically more than ninety percent of the city is completely destroyed people have not been able to basically go about their small number of locals were able to was able to go back there but the problem is that they're facing many issues there the first one is that isis before it left the city it left many mines that will be trapped and this is why people cannot do that themselves many people tried to demonize in their homes and they were killed in the process or this is one of the biggest challenges so far so unfortunately not much is being done in order to help and on the front the second one is that basically there is no services to people if they are willing to go back there there is no water there is no can get to cities or they are basically suffering on so many
4:39 pm
different levels on top of that many people question that is to misuse of the if and the groups affiliated with the ruling that city so you have many challenges that are basically preventing locals from going back there and we don't see much basically a force in order to change that change and basically allow people and encourage them to go back there if yes the city itself could you know well another be symptomatic of the overall picture of syria that is an ethnic divide the as the and the other factions the tribes in that the regional interference turkey is concerned and accuse a saudi arabia and other countries of interfering their syrian military is willing to move forward to take over the city how do you see the future of stability of those areas. i mean the future of the area should be in the hands of the coalition. if there is an intention to have deleted
4:40 pm
alaca under we construct some homes or and for affection of this city then we will see that some people or most of the people will be back to their homes but so far there is no intention nor any movement on the ground that indicates that they want to. bring back the people to their home so if they want to wait for the interest of turkey or the kurds or the government or saudi arabia or any other new it the kids and. their owners will stay when there should be a decision from the us that coalition in order of first the mind and too big of the would be perhaps and then to bring from you know
4:41 pm
a contract of that will be conferred something or to allow the people back to the country if. yes joshua di. i said has been evicted from more salt from iraq but is still that in different parts of the of syria and iraq does that leave room for i still to stage any come back any time in the future. i don't think it is going to make a big comeback isis bread because of the collapse of governments both in iraq and of course in syria where the civil war there and the uprising. there though that situation has changed the iraqi army is much stronger than it used to be it's much better armed the syrian army in fact it's also stronger than it used to be in many ways even though it's a few in number and it's exhausted and it doesn't have money i don't see you know
4:42 pm
the united states is also there i don't see a big comeback you know the best outcome of course would be if this report could spur the united states to spend hundreds of millions of dollars more money and hasten the process as your last commentator the us has sent they need bulldozers in order to clear the area to d. mine they need big. bulldozers that can quickly be mine areas without hurting the people these have not been released the government the american government does not want to spend a lot of money and it's not doing it with any great and that needs to be you know that would be the one in a sense salvation if this report could serve the coalition into spending hundreds of millions more dollars and really putting you know putting some fire in their attempts to rebuild because otherwise the underlying point you made in your last
4:43 pm
question which is things are going to go wrong it may not be isis it comes back but we're going to see a lot of trouble in this region this is in the poorest region us for decades it's troubled as you say between kurds and arabs there's tribal violence there a lot of other minorities and of course the geostrategic situation is terrible with america turkey. the russians all at daggers drawn it's at tend to box and reason bad things will. the reason why i ask you about i sort of a reliever same question to hide is basically we've seen eisel given a chance to leave just a few days before he was captured by the but there are pockets of resistance in the south of the country on the border with jordan and also in deals all also in libya where i still emerges from from from from time to time the issue here i
4:44 pm
totally agree with what you're saying and i think the possibility of isis reemerging mostly as an insurgency is big because if you look at that basically the circumstances that allowed the group to flourish in the first place it's just a symptom of the conflict in syria and basically the grievances in syria and iraq so it's not a cause it's a sentiment this is why we need to look at the causes that allowed this group to florence and emerge in the first day so far what we have been seeing is that there has been orderly military strategy in order to defeat the group and capture the directories that was under its control but there has not been any comprehensive strategy in order first to deal with the grievances and deal with the root causes that allowed this to take place i love the group of america for example that the large scale killing that the rejean russians and the iranians are doing in syria
4:45 pm
that will basically allow isis and other groups who use that as a grouping tour or for four years to come so all those issues should be addressed and the needs of the people on the ground should be addressed in order to prevent the group once and for from reemerging i don't wise unfortunately we will most likely see it's hide in the us for this is always good to have your the program thank you very much indeed. and thank you too for watching you can see the program again and it's by visiting our website. dot com for further discussion go to our facebook page facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter there is a j inside story from the hash volunteer live in our.
