a great job and we have done a great job for the economy. so we now have the highest economy anywhere on earth we have the best economy that the united states has ever had in the last month alone we ended another two hundred and fifty thousand jobs they get. you know joe biden says the election is a chance to reset the country's moral compass. almost a year and you all know. something different about this year's election. is bigger than politics this is the most important election. one of you will remember. very charactor our country is on the ballot tuesday thousands of central american migrants hoping to reach mexico city have had their hopes that they were supposed to be taken by bus to the mexican capital on their way north towards the u.s.

but the governor of veracruz state rescinded the office by europe and it has more from mexico city the governor of it i could be a lange had eunice had promised as many as five thousand migrants said they would be provided free transportation for made a cruise to mexico city only to withdraw that offer citing concerns over a water crisis here in mexico city now i'll tell you exactly what he said he said quote the shortage will affect more than seven million people adding that he didn't want to add to the problem here in mexico city now we should mention that those water cuts are over the government announced early this morning that water had been restored almost entirely and the migrants formed wrote an open letter to their governors saying that they were disappointed that the decision was made and called it unacceptable that such a promise would be made only to have that withdrawn the governor of truce did invite migrants to be transferred to bit ecru city where they could be provided food shelter as well as well as medical attention given that many migrants of have reportedly fallen ill but we have the recent reports that we've heard from sources

within the caravan is that they have chosen not to take the government on that offer and instead chosen to walk to mexico city from here they will meet with immigration officials sign their names in a registry and request transportation to the u.s. southern border ultimately that is where they're headed but it could still be several weeks before they reach that point. turkish government media reporting that three members of a saudi hit squad who murdered journalist a month ago were responsible for disposing of his body the newspaper says the men dismembered the corpse in the consulate and put the remains into five suitcases these were then driven to the saudi council's residence some of these suspects have close ties to saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man for the first time in more than nine months eight has been delivered to more than fifty thousand people in a rock band camp in syria the u.n. convoy of forty three trucks brought food and supplies camps in a rebel held area and circled by government forces at least ten thousand people

war one. zero. four years between conflict. known as the great war. and the war to end all of this and. it's grim trench warfare. and. when you lose the main theater of. and but this was a war fault of the only man fronts. so

there's another story mayor lee told. huge importance joining the war. and of lost in significance. and. a story of troops who folds and died but who are often forgotten and. and come that shaped the middle east of today. this is world war one threw out an odd case.

malick to leakey the chin is even writer and broadcaster takes us on a personal journey. as grandfather's generation falls in the war now molly goes in search of what happened to these men. who they were. and why their stories often died with them. in this episode it tells the story of how thousands of arabs were conscripted by the british and french in north africa. their treatment and mistreatment. our muslim was forced to fight against muslims. and of the fight a wall arabs played again literally. in episode

two the ottoman side of the story the young turks wise to power. their alliance with germany. their terror and in the love i want and the seeds of our own vault. and in episode three how the first world war ended four centuries of alterman rule. but drew the lines in the sand that was shaped the middle east for the next hundred years. in the second week of november one thousand nine hundred fourteen the ultimate empire officially announced it was joining me. money and its allies in the war the grand mufti in istanbul also called on muslims around the world to join a jihad a struggle against britain russia and france.

so arabs were forced to fight on both sides for the triple on told european powers . and for the central powers germany austria-hungary and the ultimate. the grand moved his call and autumn an entry into the war said muslims against each other and created a complex tension that ran throughout the war. to compete with the enemy the british and french needed to draft in large numbers of troops from across their respective empires britain recruited over a million troops in egypt in different roles across the four years of the war. and france conscripted over one hundred seventy thousand men from algeria and a further eighty thousand from two lizzie.

the french invasion of iraq zero in one thousand nine hundred eleven and installed general the o.t. as colonial government. at the start of the war he prepared to ship thousands of men to europe from iraq and points including qana to. the french occupation was hardly two years old when the war started but the french manager thought of it all then as the thousands of moroccans and send them to the front from all it's like this in a mate that i would say was built by generally healthy. forty five thousand more often soldiers embarked here and elsewhere one in four

never came back. went in search of these heavy losses compared with european casualties. i say in kind it's a hoot and then a man with a very intense fear of the monument you know if in a god a little earlier that if i can see a world of positive also you don't know how do i get is not in money being able to . do better. fast that's how it will be in egypt itself and the media will be taking the kind of tells us that the fist of and what of al sharpton in vain comes up with when and if. anything a shout out. if you harbor. a willing national health to be doing it he said with paula deen you should how one of the units in this midst who were shot in facilis to fit me all the way in these parts

a fork in this but if i don't see him in the chicken dinner to be allowed to have your mouth well muddy being starship and to see if we are. comparing death tolls can be difficult in a war with only partial written records. historian faisel should be things to museums who pitched in to the front line to protect french troops. past the truth you know this what are my own so who know who the heavy and how to. if you don't see those aren't a living at the had a thought about it. i had. heard. about them and i will manage your how. i want to came about but

the branches are. not and if you will ride methadone you're going to. pay. for the long. neck about the modoc. the heart of the money the key to the front pocket the theory here the homework. i would most but the. u.k. . not all historians share salif you must agree there were differences in the way colonial troops were treated compared with you opinions but facts about the war can be hard to pin down. french historian many believe figures vary from trench warfare on to hand combat that. is in philly to do that

pretty statistic could. you budget tell you to do something that your idea of a young that could be could kill them off they would be if people had more lead or truly you know to hear. it often less and to feel secure or lady or city or you go to the edge and you're raised it to my let's call it bill i get it for free at the steeple of this man this man this may not be an entry i love to look for the mini i'll assume he'll pull off or look at julie's suit but to believe. the search for doing. that would be elated with me already that's why the rim of the oval office reports could be said yet they. don't leak or she. couldn't move say to do with force.

sometimes or wrong rather than written history can shed light on this question. the father of tunis human writers and soon i was conscripted into the french army he'll have shown in no doubt whatsoever as to how he was treated by some french officers. most who did all the but what can you could be the buttons on so we were. in belize can land them to beat up beat up where they can you could do some of the but raid but. and ok no day event. if he were to. atone suffered a will with a him and i don't accept that that. and he was not asked me if he was of had an ad that will end combat wedding and that when i know when i. like a family member way way way beyond what he has

a happy man. share i cannot. it has one of. the den that only seen one. as soon as father spoke of discrimination and this is part of a bigger question of army discipline in the. desire to face the execution. but the french are accused of something more sinister the ancient roman army practice of decimation the killing of every tenth member of a unit for failures of discipline. france is reported to have used it against its north african troops. as in roman times decimation was used against a whole unit rather than individuals. like investigated an incident here in the belgian village of zilla back near the battlefield of on the fifteenth

of december one thousand nine hundred fourteen. the word the last short of a coward strapped without a chest twenty i'll g.d. in and two lizzie in soldiers from the kompany of the time for battalion of the it is you monique's duty or your as you are were ordered to march towards the german lines their comrades ordered to shoot them if the enemy did it. it's not clear how widespread decimation was for gilbert many this is partly because of a lack of written records. that. is because this. song. on the end of. the. she. did this year. of won't do

it on off on d.c. . what honey. bee could say but. had to she despite. the. young oh no to the new year it was in. may one. day yahoo. leaves that the speaker said they mock his children but p.c. movie. lesson on the big of a solution. is say they are pulling. a kiddie we reserve it is all you saw today because it opens up. i thought she did this us only on a little time so more republican party stuff you know. that your city could not doesn't leak could cost more as and more you still use fuel i mean us all get those

are two separate the yes but that if i'm to be at the scene was a lead only dunces so this is actually the. lottery jim would talents like him say son make a new customer a little girl i mean listen guys if he comes out i mean it's all you need to come some measure see ya know you can see clearly is all it did for me. as a footnote to many a science the decimation of a french division for mutiny in one thousand nine hundred seventeen as evidence that it continued during the war. world war one saw a new deadly threat to the allies on the western front including north african troops. in the belgian province of west flanders was the scene of five major battles in four years in the second in april and may nine hundred fifteen the

germans used chlorine. i guess against their own powers for the first time. algerians and moroccans fought alongside british french and canadians gas from over five thousand canisters blew towards them six thousand men died and many others were blinded the second battle of april heralded a new era of industrial scale warfare the first attack involved the forty fourth algerian division and the eighty seventh french territorial division those were two units first exposed but of course they fled to other parts of the front subsequent gas attacks and there were a number in april afflicted canadian forces british forces as well as french. so several of the allied formations were exposed to gas fairly early on.

armies have always used technology to develop new methods of warfare but world war one saw a step change in the level of collaboration between scientists and the military. when the kaiser vilhelm institute for physical chemistry opened in berlin the suburb of dahlan and october one thousand nine hundred twelve its first director was fritz cobbler. it scientists have since one thirty three nobel prizes but harbor is infamous for having invented chemical warfare because of his development of poisonous gas in the. harbor himself won a nobel prize for chemistry in one thousand nine hundred eighteen for his synthesizing of ammonium much food production depends today on harbors methods for producing fertilizer but the impact of the chemical weaponry developed from harbors

chlorine gas. as being devastating. were first conscripted into the french army in one thousand nine hundred eleven. they found themselves fighting as part of a french occupying force in morocco in march nine hundred twelve. then they were called on to fight fellow muslims on a far greater scale. than the ottomans joined the war in movember nine hundred fourteen it dawned on the chin is even conscripts they might now be ordered to fight turks syrians iraqis lebanese and palestinians. this deeply offended their our old sensibilities. i hope this apprehension quickly turned to insubordination. here at the gymnasium

board of bizarre that there was a rebellion in november one thousand nine hundred fourteen by troops being sent by the french to europe the chin is ian's refused to board boats bound for mark say is admirable but that if he in the room but of the verb and i'm a. rude thought it a veteran over there it is a bit of my to do with a nigga as there's a democrat in that and i'm the head that has a guinea where the shore all behavior and how to cut it off got it you don't see it then he have assuredly anyway another authority benny the come about a moral neck i think our team there are scary allayed up the one either should all us or all well yes but i've been with him but that will have to add that up with a you are lucky i'm a bad an innocent who had a mostly nina left and whether my lad but i think if you're an idea and love of money i know that when he did maybe a bit about work at it it had to be hired and money and monica and orlando martin must be me. a little you really do not only know what you know how to do know.

but that by. even. so you're saying. men had. seen. that if you don't see how the rest of the. store would. look at. this.

neat. didn't. happen i did manage. to sit with. the german and ultimately come to unsettle muslims around the issue of fighting muslims clearly caused on rest in the arab world but it's a fact also felt in. india. in january nine hundred fifteen and indian regiments in singapore rebelled because they thought the british

were sending them to fight the old. so. you have a number of reports of of muslim indian muslim soldiers being quite unhappy about being sent to fight the holy fire really you know being sent to fight the ottoman empire there's one instance of an entire battalion refusing to board the ship to go but basically peaceably the most dramatic thing in what must have been terrifying to the english and very frightening is that in singapore the fifth light infantry which is composed of muslims actually stop opened fire on the english officers and soldiers and something like eighty plus they killed eighty plus englishman and the reprisals a very harsh and they're arrested rounded up you know and that must a really scared the english officers in command because the idea that you know when you have hundreds of thousands of indian soldiers if that kind of thing ticks off it's going to be

a big problem so so where there are mutiny is there really put down. harshly but it's not only the muslims because what's happening in india is you also have indian nationalists of all religions who want the british to go. coming up opposition to conscription and french colonial occupation fuels more of the rest engine is a. man like me it's more descendants of north african war veterans and here is their personal stories. and how our of troops contributed to one of the allies most serious defeats of the war at literally. then the stuff come out as a result of coming up each of his order i do not order you to fight for you to die .

the chin is in writer and broadcaster malik terry key is on a personal journey exploring the role played by our troops in the first world war. algerians moroccans gymnasiums and egyptians fought on one side for the british and french. and troops from the love and fought for the ultimates on the side of johnny and the central powers. the other is. in the war. no muslim wanted to fight against fellow muslim. under the french colonies opposition to conscription and imperial occupation group. there were two uprisings in one thousand nine hundred fifteen and sixteen you know the southeastern chin is in town of guppies on the libyan border. dissidents

fighting the french joined other rebels and our colleagues have been asking himself resisting the libyans. to battles took place in which hundreds of french soldiers were killed. the rebels who fought the french like muhammad on the odyssey wrote themselves into chin is uniform he survived to fight the french many more times but was finally hanged by them in one thousand nine hundred twenty four. but despite regional resistance and rebellion the majority of north africans conscripted into the french army ultimately had no choice. but to follow orders and fight. one such man was

mohamed when they spoke. he had two daughters and money. to loose later married a man called last. who went on to fight the french occupation and the jews in palestine. their father mohammad however was decorated with the medallion military and the french military cross. with the hammer. as a tool madam see if it's literally legal would have bought at the height a little less of which we have the same she. sisters had her book after all good not good or had a ballot that not had a bleed or that i will bleed or wildness and there who is on board who worked or. had the fia and i don't have to he has some good or bad who are family has

a prisoner of war but also of visits paid to him but the leaders of a nationalist youth movement the young chinese ians pioneers in the struggle for independence and they. say you'd have. been what. could be a month or a debate at that office and it's at the debate well becky a setback in a way it wasn't there when you don't know met well. what can i mean. one of the could be my home address. and they can a lazy and. where can they yes me too the home. i was there and the. other two and she would be found here what can a yeti ask. for help the other family man a weird way of home an affair what can i when you let me put it home again if you

his father's memorabilia few family still have personal records of their ancestors war experiences. there are records of a small military museum enough either in central to lizzie. came across a man doing family research in an old suitcase they found french military records showing that the man's grandfather. coming forth with the allies on the western front. on the move with world. then with others but i'll start off on a recent post about on i'm a lover of war and i with or without a little more us work for me feel the love she was me every been an emotion of another for. i want to feel love in my theory on locally her ability to be more

britain's navy chief winston churchill hatched a plot against germany's ottoman. he wanted to take istanbul and open a sea route to russia. he also means appeared weakened by a series of defeats the russians are nicholas the first had even called them the sick man of europe they failed to prevent an italian landing in libya in one thousand nine hundred eleven and lost most of their territories in the balkans by nine hundred thirteen enter in autumn an army officer was stuffing. he would later go on to be the first president of turkey but in one thousand nine hundred fifteen he achieved the kind of victory one minister unwatched pasha had failed to deliver in libya or the balkans and he did it here in a bitter seven months of fighting not just with his own troops but we now know when

the vital support of three hundred thousand hours. the battle was going to let them. win ships landed troops here on the twenty fifth of april one thousand nine hundred fifteen only a small unit of autumn and soldiers protected the coast with a rapidly diminishing i mean nation. most of all hope they might hold out until reinforcements arrived. and gave his now famous order which must have stalked. into their hearts. it was here. coming through here the stuff of. lading in the first of the autumn reserves into the battle i am across the turkish soldiers the survivors the battle

above the ages retreating up this why and he told them first stop i said the enemy . and if you have made as a why then he told them to. have us we'll have no ammunition and then he told them to fix it by a nets and lie down and in fact the stridency stopped and i thought of them as a strong turkish lot in front of them and they stopped advancing as well. well then . mustafa kemal as a resist coming up issued his order that i do not order you to fight i order you to die. he gave his order citing that other reserves would come up that a while buying time with the lives of these soldiers would give time for the rest of the forces to come up here and say you can tie in the invasion. most of the man he was with they did die but they did fight as well so he literally meant that

because they had no ammunition there was no ammunition the ammunition did come up but they formed here they fought the battle slide backwards and forwards as one side then the other got more men and but the casualties here were horrendous and at first i very few men who came into this fight come out of a lot most distress new zealanders their bodies were found here four years later but in the time that the autumn and soldiers fought and died here the reserves came up the door was bolted. soldiers diaries no tell us that is nineteenth was largely. up to two thirds of the men fighting for him and they got literally campaign from greater syria present day lebanon jordan syria and palestine mustafa kemal commanded on the first day. twenty fifth of april all of the troops in this area and his personal division three regiments was only one turkish regiment the other seventy second seventy seven arab regions. there's

another target rich boys are serving here joined they joined together to fight him in the vastly superior numbers of allied trades and killed two reinforcements arrive but yes the staff at mo needed and relied on those never troops there might have been written out of some of the history in later years as part of the battling with the turkish republic and grew from the ashes of the autumn empire and yet those arab soldiers fought stood here i fought and they died. but. this is the hill from where most of our command. commanded his troops he's autumn and troops which included many arab soldiers and led them to victory against the most powerful forces of the age the british and french empires this victory started

the rise to fame of most africa my first as military hero van as a national leader for modern turkey generations of arab school children learn to the poem by how much oakley in which he likens mustapha kemal to lead the famous muslim military leader and companion of the prophet muhammad in this poem he say's a lot about oh come fill for time you know i should be highly that sort of key highly the lotto be sol one i.z.'s on i learn how to been more of a father to me for safer field in the well how often must be. the iraq dad of both sons grew buried in cemeteries across europe turkey and the balkans and prisoners of war transported to p.o.w. camps. the germans sometimes separated muslims from other prisoners so they could try and undermine their loyalty to france and britain they put north africans

together in my. on camera and talk to soldiers who fought for russia and another the first transport of french prisoners of war including north african prisoners of war was in one nine hundred fourteen and they were sent to sawsan and other places but they were together the french one and not africans and then there was this idea and a suggestion to separate muslim prisoners from other prisoners and the idea behind this was to. have better chances for propaganda purposes and that's why there was this such as to one camp which was exclusively for muslim prisoners of war at the end they separated the prisoners and there was one prisoner for camp insourcing which was quote the vine backlog where they are tyrion

a carcass in prison us soldiers who belong to the russian army or so muslims but not exclusively muslims and the others first sent to the half-moon camp which was opened in the beginning of one thousand nine hundred fifteen and this camp was meant for north african prisoners or for but also for indian prisoners of war and they also had a small group of korean and vietnam these prisoners at the half moon camp. the first mosque to be wrecked to them john and so on was erected here at the half moon p.o.w. can a large ornate wooden structure completed in july one thousand nine hundred fifteen . was a showdown in which the kaiser and german hierarchy took a strong interest. it was a key part of their campaign to turn muslim troops against their european masters dating back to the grand mufti is called to jihad in november one thousand nine

hundred fourteen. they used the comforts of the half-moon p.o.w. camp to move the three to four thousand muslim inmates and turn them against the allies who constructed them it's been honed their jihad experiment it was built in the beginning of the first world war i think in the end of nine hundred fourteen early one nine hundred fifty nine and it was paid from the private purchase of william's a seconds of german kaiser it was also a type of a propaganda action there were about four hundred five hundred muslims living in berlin and they used after the war this mosque. again as their mosque they came from berlin here at a friday and specially in your ramadan then later they built their own mosque in berlin and then this visibility was made. by word it was not

a concrete or something like that a very strong. building and it after i think in the night late nineteen twenty fifth collapsed because there nobody took care of it. the muslim prisoners a tough new certainly enjoyed better facilities than other camps offered. the half-moon project was led by the german lawyer diplomat ancient historian and archaeologist max von openly. invited prominent ana back a damaged and spiritual leaders to come and visit the prison and half moon there were actively t. so they did some sports and there were as it was somehow part of the entertainment they were coming important arab nationalists like the egyptian mohamed thirty eight or the tunisian sally asked to see who are. made

propaganda for the ideas of an independent egypt on independent all this and there is also the very famous person of literature end of politics the syrian sharky. who for example tour of germany and came here when he came to cornwall he met the mayor who happened to be these latest chancellor coming out od war. and this was also a part of the see the daily life of them. but the jihad campaign was ultimately unsuccessful some prisoners of war did later fight for the germans but with little commitment to hofmann p.o.w. camp however has rarely appeared in mainstream european comes of the.

in the german town of sawsan in the prison camp malik discovered academics of the time and created some priceless sound archives. having arabs from different countries and backgrounds in the camps gave linguists the chance to compile valuable oral history they captured the voices of ordinary north africans for the very first time. the arab soldier would no longer be a forgotten name in dusty archives he could tell his own story and though the words are indistinct his voice be heard by future generations. her. home birth of my. birth was born.

many of these troops were illiterate but malik discovered a recording of american p.o.w. singing a tenth century poem the poet himself was a prisoner of the byzantines and his verse is about defiance something close to the horrors of the moroccan prisoner of war in germany in one thousand nine hundred fifty. zero. zero zero zero zero the love of the phone or. oh my. you know. in the next episode the autumn in the story of the war the rise of the young turks

and there are lines with germany. ottoman terror any greater syria and the suffering of the arab people. david ben-gurion israel's first prime minister and his courtship of the automobiles before changing sides. and far from being simply a european affair the way the war gave birth to three million nationalist movements turkish zionist and. in the next episode of world war one through our eyes. history has called it the great war in the second episode the declining autumn an empire forges its alliance with germany and the central powers as the war gives birth to three nationalist movements the will determine the future world war one
