2:05 pm
defense secretary james mattis dividing the president and seeing that republican party figures from surprise withdrawal of american forces from syria and reports of a similar departure from afghanistan are raising big questions in washington about u.s. foreign policy reports from washington. there's been no shortage of voices in washington expressing dismay at donald trump's decision to withdraw troops from syria and the subsequent resignation of defense secretary james mattis and shaken by the news because of the patriot that general secretary models. and now with reports that the president has ordered a withdrawal from afghanistan republican senator lindsey graham has called for congressional hearings on both decisions the foreign policy establishment is confronting one of its greatest fear is that trump meant what he said on the campaign trail where force in the middle east that we were fifteen years ago i mean right now it's a disaster once trump filled his cabinet with people who did not share that view though the establishment thought it was safe i think it's fair to say that the
2:06 pm
establishment never wanted this moment to come stablish in that as certainly as a member of that establishment in good standing. is unwilling i think. ask and he's restored questions about u.s. policy in the region and even if things haven't gone well ne haven't they're going ation is simply to persist there is skepticism about how deeply geo strategic trumps decision was and whether the president will even follow through. but several issues are reported to have been involved in the syria decision including the primacy of the us a strategic relationship with turkey and the avoidance of mission creep. in the last few months national security advisor john bolton has made it clear that the us was in syria to confront iran that was a position explicitly rejected in the tweet that announced the withdrawal we have defeated isis in syria my only reason for being there during the trump presidency the president writes the military itself is divided there are many senior officers
2:07 pm
in the military which think the serial deployments were long periods of time just aren't working and they're eroding military readiness but it's worth remembering that even with these proposed withdrawals the u.s. still has tens of thousands of troops and massive air power in the region she had her town to the outer zero washington and she has more on a phone call between donald trump and the turkish president where the decision to pull u.s. forces out of syria was reportedly made. the republican party the republican establishment at least is in complete shock they have often they've always thought look donald trump says what he says he says what he says on the campaign trail to please his base but by and large he does pretty much what any republican president will do it cuts taxes on the rich destroys environmental regulations he cuts the social safety net and he has a hawkish foreign policy in the middle east which involves the deployment of thousands and thousands of troops now they're losing that aspect of their hold on him or at least what the parts of the policies they expect him to be carrying out
2:08 pm
you know it's interesting there we are getting more details we keep reporting about how that phone call between president trump last friday was key to this decision and now a.p. has just come out with more details about what actually transpired in that phone call it seems that the president according to a.p. said look you said the only reason that the u.s. was in northeast syria was to fight the islamic state your own people say that they are. only retains one percent of that territory why are you still there donald trump then asked john bolton who is also this thing on the line this is according to the a.p. well why are we still that him and john bolton was forced to admit yes the islamic state only does still hold one percent of territory but they that there's a need to stay for a more enduring enduring peace don't trump did not buy that so almost immediately said. all right we're going to leave them and that court heard you and by surprise other one said wait a second let's all be too hasty here but we're getting more details about about

modernization of socialism in the country cubans are getting a chance to express their views on a draft constitution which will be approved by the national assembly for referendum in february a latin america at its embassy in human reports. after six decades the sign. of decay in the western hemisphere's only communist country are evident and in recognition that nothing is in more need of modernization than cuba's political system ordinary citizens like roberto ramos are being allowed to weigh in on the draft a new constitution. something interesting is happening in cuba people have the ability to meet to debate publicly not in a physical space but in a virtual space. drill barito who runs a tattoo parlor is an activist who's pushing for the new constitution to recognize same sex marriage expanding those still expensive access to internet is allowing
2:17 pm
him and many others to make demands publicly at all. one of the most pressing is for economic reform but it's being resisted by some who are clinging to the old economic model of total state control it's a tug of war i think there is a part of the goal to do. which are people more mordor more open minded looking at the world looking at the these bottle going to the vietnamese bottle i don't. see is because i have see that i have heard that musician this like many others is making perhaps the most difficult demand of all. and that is for the constitution to give legal recognition for the right of anyone to have different political opinions whatever your political opinion may be and that you won't be considered a traitor or someone who's trying to destabilize the nation the draft constitution will no longer allow officials including the president to perpetuate themselves in
2:18 pm
power and it also recognizes limited private property but when it comes to the political system the only change so far is to make it explicit that cuba's communist party will remain as the only party as the supreme and guiding force. society and the state even above the constitution cubans will be asked to approve the final draft in a referendum in february whether it will resemble the kind of constitution that they're asking for is still a mystery when we see in human al-jazeera have than. our time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera a partial shutdown of the u.s. federal government has begun it follows president trump's refusal to back down on funding for his border wall forcing congress to adjourn without a deal on spending the impasse means hundreds of thousands of federal workers

back in two thousand and eleven all right well those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after radicalised statement that's a bunch of. when i entered the spittle modified car six hundred horsepower i feel the happiest. when. the women tearing up the truck in the west bank. challenge the stereotype. living life in the fact when it's like the target of the race with the. past but the sisters on the.
2:22 pm
ironic that won many governments along the wall declared that the fight against terrorism is the number one priority this hasn't stopped. the c.u. has continued the attacks of continued we have to wonder why is the case. for the past twenty years i've been working on the question of political violence and terrorism it's persistence in our lives in our times in our societies begs the question why. could it be that the policies governments think will prevent violent extremism might actually be making things worse in the aftermath of the nine eleven attacks on the united states in two thousand and one you could visibly see that the
2:23 pm
world has been securitized a certain architecture of things has materialized literally there is a certain presence of the state security that has been increased. the militarized presence has really transformed the scene of the world around us. there has been new legislation that has increased powers of surveillance that have given more of an ability to shrink the privacy space for citizens around the world . news alerts all the time keeping the citizen on their toes a certain friends jala g of be careful observe with or if something that doesn't look right to be kept out tactically generally a sense of fear from. the threat has it been lessened has there been results in terms of addressing it and the paradox is that it has not quite the
2:24 pm
opposite so clearly something is not working. we must remember that the majority of political violence is not carried out in the name of any particular religion and certainly not only in the name of one in twenty seventeen here in the diverse london area finsbury park a man drove a van into the crowd leaving a mosque saying he wanted to kill all muslims but does the securitized response reflect this complex reality i've come to ask the young people here for their experiences. i was so much more than four or five times within two months i felt that i was i was came because of my color rather than tradition wise i was actually. search for tongues as in underground so-called random searches which i didn't think it was a random search it was a norm in that time and still now i think that you expect every now and then to get
2:25 pm
a stop it's not nice. but every now and then it happens that the narratively has been going around for a such a long time if writing it here when i see bearded man carrying a bag i get. suspecting that's a reality it's a sad reality you when you have internalized it become like i said if i am a person of muslim faith and i get like that i am the same what the other people might fear as well and if i don't think it's necessary it's the fault of the people is the responsible of the media we've done that people who often dorothy who put this narrative out there bearded man or a man of certain color may cause harm this needs to change we are kind of like brainwashed to think that one. so that's the step session with security just affect muslims or do others feel that they are suspects as well looking at post nine eleven and how you have been experiencing
2:26 pm
a lot of terrorism attack and so how did you live through those years and how do you look at how authorities have been dealing with this it was challenging because people's perspective of the minority group had already been made up and their mindset towards people of color people of faith people from about kwame really didn't understand it was the fear of the unknown and we suffered from the collateral damage of that what's now expected of minorities after this event i feel like they're expected above and beyond decency in a sense to not be perceived as a nuisance or menace or any of these things i think it's clear and devastating in how. we're automatically labeled with doing so. and activities based on person's actions is not the best example for the younger generation and if they have to walk around in fear thinking all because i look like this automatically i'm
2:27 pm
going to treat it like this it will be like this in the future like how people are labeled and by race gender or religion you well it doesn't have to always be like the more you are probably because you'll be having a soul is its core certain rhythm for men and. living in this traumatized society everybody's giving in fear of being judged being pointed a big key to being isolated how can we now face tomorrow knowing this is what people think of us while the british government claims to celebrate diversity many feel that their main policy against violent extremism reinforces these attitudes. given the right continues we need to. be represented in terrorism because terrorism and the direction it will go to this place isn't just the. prevents parts of the
2:28 pm
government's contest strategy which the counter-terrorism initiative features for example to identify signs that somebody might be vulnerable to radicalization or extremism might be looking for a change in behavior a change in social groups that young people apart so moved for example it might be that people might sound a bit more aggressive they might sound safe it's like in something from a far right websites or it's in the repeats in knots it could be perhaps a change in drafts and suddenly an increase it safe to say the top three. finish that's in date absolutely right so. my son ten six a police officer from her via social wildcat. a lot of questions about his
2:29 pm
arabic teacher and what he was learning and ira. and i read in my child kept turning to me like well why is he asked me the same question again again and. i didn't know my rights i feel like there was this big doll hole i fell into knowing because i sent my son to school. we've documented nearly five hundred cases of individuals impacted by prevent today these cases demonstrate both and islamophobia framework operates within the policy but also we have now seen how the policy has created a collective trauma to the community including children so it's in essence the policy has created what it's supposed to be fighting essentially you have to distance yourself from your family you just feel more and more isolated day by day
2:30 pm
was just you share your constant fear you have to do it alone whether it's teachers or doctors your social workers anybody you have this mistrust of everybody because you don't know anymore who to trust and you don't know what will happen to your children if you go to a doctor or if they were portrayed as someone. it's very interesting to see that which george orwell was wiping out decades ago has in effect now materialized. it speaks a certain language of authority and speaks a certain language of demonization of certain groups or racialized a certain approach to discrimination that is unnamed. growing
2:31 pm
up since nine eleven this generation starts from a completely different perspective than other generations would one where it starts from a point of view of fear of a certain vulnerability of having to prove itself almost being paranoid all the time this. very sense of uncertainty but also of a certain vulnerability. to find out how this might affect young people psychologically i've come to meet verne introduce a psychologist who deals with marginalized young people. threat is the number worn through password really you know we're told it's everywhere we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody and everything and i think it has a real impact on one sense of self as we know children are incredibly receptive and perceptive you know if a think that their teacher or staff are or even mental health professionals are screening them that starts to really fragment the way in which you can have
2:32 pm
a relationship with a young person and yet today we have kids sitting in a class and feeling that they are in a policing system and the impact is you don't belong here you don't fit for a child who's developing and trying to find a way of being in the world that's a huge. sort of rebuff and i think that what i've seen then happens is that the narrative grows of everybody feeling that stiff accord with this child suddenly children and then find themselves excluded not in mainstream school they're in people refer units young people that i've worked with can find themselves there and really have a struggle you know internally about is this me is this is this the person i am well actually yes people are telling them it is that's why you're there and then i think there is this sort of gathering momentum for many of them not all of them to join gangs yet to join to join because because that's the trajectory and it's very
2:33 pm
difficult to resist. being labeled threats leads in many ways if the person is not a threat and if they are innocent to a sense of injustice many rip. for sure that justice and of your nation are factors in making people susceptible to the appeal from groups like islamic states who have found ways to turn the west's glamorization of violence against itself. grossly mission impossible type of movie or a homeland type of t.v. series where this is all staged and presented as the logical normal narrative of the new world in the event. the paradox of the imagery as it is literally downloaded on these youth is that it becomes internalized the look at it process it and they themselves tend to.
