supreme court has found northern ireland's abortion laws are not compatible with human rights legislation but it's the session is not legally binding so politicians have to decide the next step reports from london. northern ireland remains the only part of the u.k. where it's illegal for female victims of rape and incest to have the resulting pregnancies terminated even in cases where the fetus has an unsolvable abnormality abortion is still pretty potent and in twenty thirteen sara a us first pregnancy turned from joy to despair at nineteen weeks her skull had formed that her dream had formed there was no way she was going to live independently and i could be three for nine months trying to get it i knew i was home five years after making the journey from belfast to london to abort the pregnancy sarah returned to london to the supreme court hoping to hear the judges strike down part of northern ireland strict abortion laws on human rights grounds the current law is incompatible with
1:10 pm
article eight in cases of rape incest and fatal serious fetal abnormalities but instead of deciding the issue once and for all the jurisdiction reasons the judges statements in this case are not legally binding so the pressure is intensifying on politicians to take action this issue is not going to go away arlen is about to reform its law on abortion and therefore it will remain in the public eye in the months to come it's time we. looked at our abortion laws and make sure that they are human rights compliant the complex legal and moral issues are further complicated by the devolved powers of northern ireland's parliamentary assembly and assembly which hasn't sat in session since january of last year evolution is not now i nor has it ever been justification for this. nille of
1:11 pm
women's rights there is no devolved government in northern ireland and ultimately responsibility rests with westminster it is all eyes now i on treason mate but campaigners insist the judges approve killing every living human being has the right to life to be protected so it's really quite shocking that the judges come to our conclusion it is a fundamental right to be born to be protected from the moment of conception and we hope that our government will continue to uphold the rights of all citizens born and unborn make no mistake the issue of whether northern ireland's abortion laws comply with human rights legislation is going to come back before judges in the near future. al-jazeera of the supreme court in london thousands of me and more refugees who fled across the border to thailand have a tough time getting the basic necessities and with a shortage of international aid doctors are having difficulty treating patients. reports. all about the needs of her community she's

1:21 pm
ok you're in the street and i'm really could be loud today a story pitch right a member of our community motives who sadly we're discussing how a first of its kind had acts of it is challenging stereotypes about refugee camps tweet us your thoughts or comments and you can put them into you to chat you too could be in the street.
1:22 pm
where many people picture a refugee camp they see a sprawling mass of helpless individuals but the reality is often the opposite a growing number of camps are booming enclaves of business innovation and culture challenging the stereotypes around refugees is one mission of tax cuts home account first of its kind of vent for attacks the influential conference network that hosts online talks on a range of scientific cultural and academic topics the gathering is being held at the refugee camp in northwestern kenya joining us from kumar to discuss this mr fleming she's the chief spokesperson for the u.n. h.c.r. one of the co-hosts of my camp. is a fashion model who was born in cooma after her family fled civil war in somalia in melbourne australia mccord to what she's also a former kakuma refugee who now works as
1:23 pm
a multicultural development director for this trainee and football league of the united states or who he's an economic as apologist who studies the social economies off refugee camps how everybody is so good to have you in the stream mood. where were you when this idea popped into your hate ted x. cookoo my camp well i've had a relationship with ted and i've seen the power of public speaking on the stage and i just thought you know. bring a ted x. event to a refugee camp and allow refugees to be the speakers for a change and not just refugees but people form refugees like lima and people who care about changing the narrative. changing the approach to refugees around the world so yeah it was a vision that was a dream actually we kind of thought we were crazy because it was logistically
1:24 pm
quite a feat but as you see today from those images are amazing just sixteen and kenyan companies managed to set up a state of the art facility a tent in the middle of the of a secondary school in the middle of a very remote refugee camp you have to imagine it's a four hour drive from nairobi and very bumpy roads the road the bridge was actually washed out a week before and when the whole quest the whole event was being called into question anyway they are now good maybe. that sounds old so when they say it sounds like what was i thinking what were we thinking how could we get this done. i know i think i would i don't know if it's true but i would say it must be the most logistically challenging. his or ted x. event that was ever staged so but it's definitely going to be one of the most moving because the speakers are just absolutely incredible and one of them it's
1:25 pm
here with us today. well melissa one of the signs of what you just mentioned that this is going to be incredible is the buzz online because it's almost palpable this is collins on twitter who says text means a lot it is been well received with lots of excitement and the main reason is that being an old camp of over twenty five years the risk of its people being forgotten are real as new emergencies come up ted x. will show the world what is made of her name i want to give that to you because you were born in the camp what does it feel like for you to go back for the first time and why did you say yes to tax. i said yes to tax. i mean. i didn't think that. it could possibly bring me back to kakuma like it was almost like a perfect two in one you know i come back home for the first time and i'm also
1:26 pm
doing my first. so it's still very surreal i've been having like crime or like like just like going off on my own for a little bit just like. like i'm here i'm home like. i played on and i just had so many. going from one council another i can't even really put into words but it just builds incredibly amazing to be here and to also get to meet other incredible speakers that are also going to be speaking this. i just want to remind everybody. that case you need reminding i want to hear from my instagram. so this was a young youngster who was born in a refugee camp and now he's on fashion place everywhere she's on runways all of the well what is the reception you are getting people knowing that you can from the same community that they live in right now. i think it's
1:27 pm
some exciting time you know like a lot of girls follow my journey not just muslim girls but really young girls who come from maybe similar backgrounds i think that's why my journey has been so in part well to many people because everybody kind of can relate to or from a different point of view i get girls from a small town of let's say wisconsin who could relate to being from a small town and like making in the fashion industry and then i get a lot of girls from the muslim community a lot of job working women who tell me how grateful that they are to finally you know. it's amazing like i can't even believe how much has changed i think like two years ago i could never pick up a magazine and look through the inside pages and see somebody that just like me and just a little over a year and a half raised nine cover is so it's been quite a journey really listening to this and listening to this day she's an idea of a text in cookoo macapp this is somewhere that you've been visiting you've been
1:28 pm
studying for the last decade when you first heard of the idea what was your reaction i thought it was a great idea or it was a fantastic idea or because it's some couldn't that's actually actually plagued me that we have a conception of refugees as hopeless and yet actually one of the most well studied terms in the would there be an academic's of greece which is what my so going i was one of the first few people to go with. it if it holds you because you actually see you with a devotee. rendered prayer and that's what was taught x is going to do because what it's going to do is it's going to speak about. police seems to be over this but it's going to speak about success and it's also going to talk about you with resilience the human fighting spirit in the worst of temperatures sometimes
1:29 pm
in the biggest of despair so i want to give our viewers who are not to feel you're familiar with. a little taste from our online audience of what life is like there this is fred who says could come as a camp made up mainly of young people about sixty percent of the population is under eighteen years of age in the camp residents are inspired by the tough life in the camp to identify other coping mechanisms i.e. small businesses fashion sports performing arts and education and with that said we got a video comment from someone who explains that the camp has changed over the years this is a mere a and he is now in kakuma he's an independent journalist and he's there for this weekend have a listen to what he told the stream committee did you come in with the. amount of development in the last six yes it has to be from this time. don't
1:30 pm
destructed we've seen you've been instructors are now. going to kenya and the last to get me. started to study them said i'm an instructor was did it consist of calm you. used to have different cultural activities. gus's on music. and. so as he mentions from semi-permanent structures to permanent structures their activities for the youth what do you remember form from your time with living there i know that you were in kenya for twelve years. well i remember then. he said i think the landscape has changed just being here in the last fourteen years and you know stories of people that have gone back to compromise but when i was there you have groups what we call group and i was in a group called twenty one in john three and you know i remember us in our little
1:31 pm
group moving in and why go into food and stuff like that so i want to see it now that there is more people than there were one back there and you know just the resources that are now valuable for those people made exactly because back then when you were much like what the school and i was doing is what's most. interesting to see that is changing dramatically i kept after pictures thank you for sending us pictures so this one here. i know one of these people must be a mom and then one of them must be you will the one that she is as i am the one with the songs up because. i love that do you remember this photograph i'm not actually i honestly not but luckily one of my cousins had had it
1:32 pm
in the middle that my auntie highlight. their mom and shown another picture here. very vibrant wallpaper and who are the kids. one of them is you yes and the blue dress that. my little. brother's. there and in my two cousins and you know one of things we've been talking about is the possibilities in the potential of refugees i want to show people one more picture here which brings us more up to date and the passion that you have now and how that happened because people don't always think the refugees have a future but your future is incredible your present is incredible tell us how that happened and why eating out i am so i am so.
1:33 pm
let's try and get i mean i remember coming here i just wanted to you know do something to kind of get in this you know in society so i started playing i felt really again that and i'm really and one of the main reasons why i strayed in was football everybody who hasn't heard of it it's a little bit like rugby but don't tell a strange that now they'll get enraged over. n i mean one of the reasons why i got. in a lot of money in my city are young you know or young people that come to countries that was fairly are call it home now you know pursue their dreams and you know whatever it is and they want to amuse the younger ones want to be what they are so being one of the african. my men will me and specially. you know my stories that are my are you know. i want to share this comment we just
1:34 pm
got live on you tube this person says the energy of the young people and it is inspiring i've been there to teach and i always learn so much from them about resilience about faith and hope in a place that people think as a dead end and to illustrate that point just a little bit more we got a video comment from someone in this is john he's the director of the youth voices and the camp and this is what he told us about taking those voices and putting them to good you have a listen. fortunately. it will. be different for. you. when they get. one. more. big soon. you.
1:35 pm
know he mentions nurturing voices a creative place where you can then put their talents to good use and one of those uses is the flourishing business community that we've seen there can you talk to us about golf. you know so basically kakuma town itself was a pastoral market and there were these three or four somali trader the came there in the one nine hundred sixty s. so when the camp was built there was there was already an infrastructure of whole import export and as the camp citizens decided that they were not going to remain fully reliant not just for the daily nutritional needs but for their social needs for feasting for celebrations but that they needed more you see all these markets essentially essentially come up and those four or five wholesalers have created this extremely efficient system and that work off of providing goods across the
1:36 pm
across the cab they help new businesses about they train a lot of different people and and and one of the things is that this commercial economy based on my recess essentially provides that missing link so when you welcome a child into the world or you're saying goodbye to someone who's just parted i mean as much as the food given by the relief mission helps you don't you don't welcome somebody or you don't you don't say goodbye to them with oil beans and corn you need something that is culturally appropriate and and this commercial economy essentially how to gain that little bit of normalcy sometimes you just want to buy candy for your child sometimes you want to celebrate if star did during the muslim after muslim cross daily and so it helps you to feel normal and through this normality you actually gain dignity because you gained some months of the life you had before and you also have a glimpse of the life that you envision for yourself but you're building it in the
1:37 pm
can for you're supposed to be transience to realize i can hold through that so many such as he comes to places like refugee camps like i should have been a week they buy him a whole leaf but there's something about the way that you can the students flat which we. he connects you with a community that has a picture here of you at a wedding tell us a little bit more about that oh yes this wedding was essentially this is the photo session so i'm standing with the bride and the groom and it was this wonderful day in which of course there was a little bickering between the bride's mother and the groom well you say of course . because obviously with the wedding it's it's a wedding you know like emotions of rod the two families coming together result you know humans love to make things complex and this was one of those there was a last minute the complained about the level of the food and then myself when the groomsmen are all trying to go to the gore i think it's a wedding it could be
1:38 pm
a wedding anywhere in the world the same wedding function happening there is anywhere a little one of the things you're talking about and you can talk about is the economy of refugee camps like a cooma and recently the i have seen a visit did a report the international finance corporation to report about the level of entrepreneurship that happening cooma i want to show you the ingenuity creativity of the refugees who live to have a look. i've learned out of the month someone you can finally be assured you group the book up so. there's a good we could work on of you that you can uniquely not. get i do good work i don't want to go over to you why do you need to borrow my god i forgot them all on the up of the only time i was ok i got it. i mean coming from somebody i'm over
1:39 pm
the shop i come here because i'm taking i put up this one to collect you can a concert protocol. internet service provider income. but there were other people so we all know ourselves. i think i know what you're trying to do hail the u.n.h. h.c.r. are trying to do in the well and all these interested parties is to look at refugee camps as not nicely button and people as helpless but as entrepreneurs people who have incredible futures and also we may be rethinking what a refugee camp can be and should be because so many of them are now running for a long time decades even is that behind the idea of text cooma is that what you are
1:40 pm
trying to do just change people's attitudes totally. but we're also trying to change the system in the approach we want to see refugee camps relics of history really. we don't have places where populations just the people who have fled the refugees are sequestered in an isolated spot and have no connection with the host community and we want to see integrated communities and that's what we're doing here it's. there's the older section of the. camp and then there's a new section and it's called column b. and this is something that we really wanted to highlight here it represents our new approach that's going to go lobel to refugee response and that is that there are settlements that are built that are completely integrated with the local community where the local community benefits and where we attract international development assistance as well as a city as well as private investment and you know we have
1:41 pm
a governor here and into chronic county which is the county and which. is based who is convinced that the presence of refugees has been a tremendous benefit for the development of his county which was one of the chorus in kenya and he's an enlightened politician but we now have the reports like the i.o.c. report that you just showed that proved actually that the economy has grown and that everybody is benefiting from the presence of refugees this is a message that we want to send globally. and to show also through this tax event here in kakuma i think that's important because as much enthusiasm is there is online we're also seeing reminders this is fred who says life in the camp is full of challenges only one percent of the population gets a chance to be resettled overseas meaning that the remaining ninety nine percent has to make themselves comfortable and useful in the camp another person writes and
1:42 pm
saying what comes to mind when questions to ask is does this mean the camps will never be closed or the camps inhabitants now considered kenyans and will they ever be resettled. i'm wondering when you see tough questions like this what comes to mind how do you respond to people who wonder about what happens to those who aren't able to leave the camps. hardest thing hearing as a former refugee is when people say or ask. why are they all coming here and i mean that's a fair question and it's also important to know that we are among the lucky few that do get to make it you know it's a very small percentage percentage of refugees that do get to resettle in places like america or england and although it's challenging i also am grateful that we do have people to ask me those hard questions because it has always kept me in check like that's what motivates me to do my best to work hard in school to make
1:43 pm
the most out of this amazing privilege that i got because i understand that for my ticket into america i know there's millions of kids that would well never have that opportunity but i think i could also give back and i think it's the refugees who resettled into places like america. the u.k. and places like that that can really take advantage of all the opportunities that their host country offers but also don't forget where you came from don't forget your roots and florence come back it's important to. really motivate and inspire the kids that are still in the count's that they too have led me on the border is or just a dream beyond the refugee camp and that they can excel if they really work hard. you know seeing what's behind that note. i'm everywhere the limit i think. despite all of that you know i just as people i live in the western world are using opportunities that we have yet to get back to those two in the refugee camp because
