governments around the who when it comes to court action has led to young people taking things into their own hands this is very much because of a growing international movement who was construct likes for climate action the lady being big demonstrations that have taken place in fronts in belgium scandinavia and germany and no the u.k. demos are happening in a coup or thinks of fashion in thirty towns and cities across the country no choice but here one of the organizers i know what if you could step down for most books for a second here now i know this of course is about a little bit more than people just changing their habits a home about turning off lights about carpooling and things like that what message are you trying to get to those in power that we want this empowered to know that they're not doing and all kinds of maybe young people feel betrayed we have because we need to protect our future because the bajan has foreland to us to protect our

future because de have failed us we have because we need system change we need imminent environmental reform on sandwiching not at the moment that failing us ok i don't thank you very much it was you who the system change is probably the most crucial elements of this demonstration most moving about turning the lights off much more than about thinking how we use code the feeling here is that the coast the situation is so dire with the international panel on climate change saying there are only twelve if the last to avoid irreversible effects on the environment but it's really down to the people empowering governments around the world to effect change and to initiate legislation through the government when it comes to schools letting these young people be who the government said it's up to the school somebody that. in themselves but when it comes to missing an hour or two of lessons on a friday these young people say it's absolutely worth it for the future of the planet . the two films telling the little known stories of people who risked their lives

dramatize ations to make the individual characters more vivid. the germans are sending. to show every. german succeeded in not only wiping out the jewish people but wiping out their memory and. to bury the truth so that one day. the story of what really happened could be told from. moscow one another genocide story which had its world premiere in berlin is mr jones it stars james norton as well as journalist gareth jones. you're out again this time arranging an interview with starlin in the one nine hundred thirty s. the reports of battle to reveal what's known as the whole autumn or the manmade famine on the soviet leader joseph stalin which killed millions of ukrainians this i read. something. and right off.

the ball. the director says just as jones felt compelled to get the story out she felt compelled to tell his tale and she sees clear parallels with current events you know putting it call out this of the politicians the corruption of media and the indifference of the general public of the societies it is something which opens the door for the disaster we can see on the screen and where it's happened in twentieth century. nowadays there's no shortage of reminders of the crimes of the nazis like this memorial to europe's murdered jews but the message from the filmmakers is that people remembering what happened shouldn't be taken for granted and that's why they're hoping works like this get seen by as big an audience as possible yet the al-jazeera building.

column has i'm thinking where the headlines now on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump is declaring a national emergency to get funds for its border war with mexico and bypass congress it will free up six billion dollars to build it congress approved a bill to keep the government funded late on thursday without the war money he wanted democrats say they will challenge the move was unconstitutional we're going to be signing today and registering a national emergency and it's a great thing to do because we have an invasion of drugs invasion of gangs invasion of people and it's not acceptable venezuela's president has accused the us serve trying to destabilize his country in an interview with al-jazeera nicolas maduro

also criticized european countries for supporting u.s. military intervention in the past. go. i think that some europeans made a mistake when they supported the american war in iraq can you ask any of the coalition countries was it necessary to intervene militarily in iraq and divide it and kill millions of its people i think they also made a mistake when they bombed libya and killed more than one hundred thousand civilians can these ever has been corrected i think they made mistakes in their destructive policy approach in syria and they make more mistakes with parents willing. india's government is promising a strong response after an attack in indian administered kashmir that killed forty four of its forces on thursday india is pointing the finger at pakistan and summoned its envoy in new delhi pakistan denies supporting the group thought to be behind the attack spain's prime minister has called a general election after losing important budget vote voters will now head to the

welcome to the program i'm so whole robin a full blown crisis is looming between nuclear rivals india and pakistan prime minister narendra modi is promising a fitting response against an attack in indian administered kashmir but killed forty four of its paramilitary forces islamabad has condemned the incident and has denied supporting the group thought to be behind it lower but manly has more. scenes of devastation body parts strewn across the highway in india and minnesota. dozens were killed when a cop packed with explosives rammed into a truck that was part of the security convoy india's prime minister narendra modi observed a moment of silence to remember the victims before he gave a strong warning mass produced and they're going to go on i want to tell the

terrorist groups and their patrons that they have committed a huge mistake and they will have to pay a big price for this. it's the worst attack to hit the disputed himalayan region in three decades the paks. says it's responsible for the attack although denies any involvement india has accused it of allowing armed groups to operate freely pakistan's foreign ministry issued a statement calling the attack a matter of grave concern saying they've always condemned heightened acts of violence in the valley india has taken diplomatic steps including shutting down trade between the neighboring nations. has been divided between india and pakistan since one thousand nine hundred forty seven both countries claimed the area tens of thousands have been killed in the past three decades this latest attack targeted a large military convoy investigators are still trying to piece together how the

armed group was able to strike such a sensitive target. as india's national investigation agency begins its walk activists are on the streets of indian administered kashmir with many chanting and pakistan slogans and the government is shut down into that in some areas the military has imposed a curfew in parts of india in the midst of kashmir in attempt to restore calm for inside story about a manly. let's bring in our guest for this edition of inside story from new delhi. professor and dean of the gentle school of international affairs in london the tory schofield a historian who's written a book on the conflict and in islamabad india's goal head of the center for

research and security studies in the capital markets of pakistan thanks for joining us here on inside story. i come to you first relations between india and pakistan have never really normalized since independence and the subsequent partition of the subcontinent in one nine hundred forty seven in two thousand and nineteen one can't really see this getting any better in the light of what's happened in the last what thirty six hours. that's right and i think it's taken on a new dimension if you could take the historical standpoint and nine hundred forty seven it was our territory and then you know it marched into something else kind of an independent struggle by some kashmiri muslims in the pakistani support and now you know increasing the last two decades of sort of more we're seeing that it so you know that's the focal point is this jihad this violence and the indian

companies against the against it so the attack on our security personnel just confirms this shift and as far as india is concerned you know the central point for us you know the point of contention is this violence against our civilians and our security forces so it is being seen with a lot of outrage and something that's totally beyond the pale and unacceptable and just the scale of the attack and the number of deaths of our soldiers you know there is a national consensus that we must do something about it and i think prime minister narendra modi here if he hits one phrase it is a soft state and i think he has been isn't that career has been built up on having a robust national security portfolio in his governance and now he's reaching the end of five years his first term i think he's increasingly going to move towards you know multi-pronged response including you know tactical surgical strike by special operations forces possible our diplomatic isolation campaign on

a global scale economic punishment and also lobbying the u.s. to try and prevent pakistan from getting the i.m.f. bailout that they have been seeking for a long time and also trying to squeeze the pakistanis by making up with china which is of course now the number one benefactor and innovate and all that a lot of pakistan through the through their investments and loans ok cecile in michigan a little deciduous that i mean if you tell us to let me discipline and let me come in next and looking for a big boost to chile let me come in there let me just come in. i think you've hit a lot of bases there that we need to discuss in depth throughout this whole program let me bring in victoria schofield you heard what our guest in new delhi had to say victoria you've actually written extensively on the whole kashmir conflict for for many years is this a seismic shift in policy from the militant groups is this about homegrown terrorism on indian soil that's been exacerbated and encouraged from pakistan is pakistan to blame lots of questions here about this particular attack

and how it's actually impacting both on new delhi and islamabad well i think there is a certain seismic shift in that this is mark signifies yet another nosedive between india and pakistan if you're looking at the two countries having several nosedives over the last forty years but this is another very significant one in terms of what actually is it is you the dispute over the former princely state of german kashmir i think unfortunately in the last several decades people have lost sight of what that dispute was and they're it's almost like they're hating each other for the sake of hating each other and this is why i think it's absolutely essential for an element of restraint to be used because actually india and pakistan indians and pakistanis don't hate each other but somehow the rhetoric gets whipped up with the domestic communities that you can almost see this deteriorating into into

a war situation if that element of restraint isn't used as a present to sitting down finally and saying what do we actually fighting over in relation to general in kashmir and we have to resolve it let's bring it in go here you've heard what the first two speakers have said you know and victoria talks about restraint is required from the politicians on both sides of the border the blame game has already begun really as far as new delhi is concerned accusing. pakistan of supporting these indian based militant groups pakistan denies it as it always does through its foreign ministry how long can pakistan continue to take this sort of position when it's been firmly proved in the past that such operatives are based in pakistan due expels very extremist views about india and how both its civilians and its military should be treated. why

why have they not acted when i think in the first place the person who carried out the attackers is a native born in part of amara and he may have been tied to the adventure muhammad but the problem is existent existed baited by this finger pointing instead finger pointing within minutes of the attack pointing to pakistan and equating the act of a non-state actor to that of us take it state actor so i think there in the problem lies by this than has banned all these are going to buy christan has had its own problems its own debts more than three hundred fifty suicide bombings massive suicide bombing the last ten years which of thousands of people bugs are never said that it's because of the in for terrorist infrastructure in india or the indian support for the afghan based terrorists many of them are pakistani and so somehow

the indian indian leadership shall have to restrain itself from pointing fingers instantly at pakistan that and engage in dialogue spoilers on board sides and i think repeatedly we have dealt with those spoilers so pakistan's as far as i know has been trying to wean these people away pull the rug from under the feet of all these are going as asians but it has a social political dimension and that is what is. this training factor for pakistan as far as totally did neutralizing or neutralizing. is ations and there the huge garda it's hundreds of thousands of people learning in their seminaries following them india has bugs on has limits to to do the things that india want let me just come in there because you talked about sort of states or non-state actors i mean it's the non-state actors such chance masood us or who lives in pakistan who's

admitted that it's his group and his influence that's hard. behind this attack and so when somebody so vocally admits to if you want to put it any simply the crime why can't the state prosecute this man even though they've banned his group obviously has support does he not to be able to roam freely in pakistan well i think there is a very heavy fence that separates pakistan pakistan and india in kashmir and i haven't heard any any direct claim from just your mom head or their center leaders that they're get it out this attack there's a statement by a young man a native indian origin kashmiri and i think now to equate that yes you are right the organization exists here but i think these are being banned barred from taking operating out of pakistan there are to be logical synergies that are available yes

and this has borne out of the origin and sent and the additional center was the soviet invasion of afghanistan and the american the sponsor to do that for which all shares of religious organizations entities were used by the americans by the west and by pakistan and this is the spread over the fact and right now what india is dealing with is the second ative or regional. wave of terrorism militants that have grown red wines and i think there don't want india. to be to two to be around so i think there it has to be dealt with politically rather than pointing fingers at every time a bomb goes off ok we can carry on with this debate or even for new delhi and i know that disagreeing with some of what you have to say in terms of you know what we think of militant and terrorist groups as just move this on sri ram to one develop this conversation more pro pakistan pro independence armed groups have been banned by india but seemingly operate. in

a controlled way perhaps in the the region of indian administered kashmir. it is a very militarized area i've been there myself i've seen how the military are deployed it's must have a huge intelligence operation in that region so what went wrong with the intel if you have that much military personnel and you have the intel how did they not know this was going to happen yeah sure i mean internal security we need to do a lot better and we need to plug a lot of the holes and the gaps through which has been exploited by pakistan been stirred terrorists so but one thing is sure you know the india has one hundred eighty million muslims and there are only six million of those who are from crush me or so the claim that somehow muslims are oppressed in india and facing human rights abuses and are living under some kind of colonial rule that has been

exploited to the hilt by the pakistani intelligence agencies and their proxies like this generation muhammad there for example are lush going to tell you about these are proscribed dogmas ations but you know end of the day they operate right under the noses of the security forces with impunity and they raise funds they have public rallies they have what jessica stern the eck academic from the u.s. once called a jihad culture and that has been exported to the had question valley which we control so indian kashmir and also we have a lot of used poor are subject to this propaganda and with this hit create an incitement against india and that's how they are being exploited to be used for violence against our forces and i was sick and i was civilians so we have to look at the brainwashing and the indoctrination the salafist standard you hardiest ideology that pakistan is sponsoring i think that is much bigger and you look at the you know of the top heads of these organizations they are living under the military intelligence apparatus is protection so my own view is that this problem

cannot be solved as long as the military control sparked a stun and your destiny you know if you would want a kind of a democrat to give illusion there. prime minister more the strictures hand for friendship with no washer eve of any u.s. prime minister in two thousand and fifteen event to live or we tried it out reviewed all the extended hand of friendship but it was a backstabbing all along so i think there the deep sense of betrayal frustration people don't want to engage diplomatically or with due respect to our friends in the industry or families i would say that restraint is not something an option if you have a weak jim you know if you're being hit repeatedly and we don't want to be seen to be you know a banana republic that can be played around restraint is not a solution you know if you have to establish deterrence to terminate the means and i think that is the consensus view here and the determined exactly what the prime minister modi is talking about in the school you know he's talking about swift and strong action against pakistan what do you expect the indian prime minister to do to enact well i think

a lot of people within india talking about the failures of the modi government then for the failure of the modi government's policies in fact and that he withdrew the hand to hand of friendship or hand of dialogue from pakistan but stan has been trying its best reaching out as much as possible to engage india and this is this is what one says from within india or also saying that india is being a very heavy prize for our more these bad kashmir policies a lot of former intelligence people leg will be by that are commodities also talked about their basement fairly out of the indian intelligence but he also talks about this new generation of militants who have gone with the wind ins under the indian operation in the last sixteen seventeen years and the real problem lies in the disconnect there currently exists between new delhi and kashmir so what more the

and is our colleagues need to do is to reach out not only to the these disgruntled kashmiri you but also to pakistan if they attend pakistan. and is such a key to getting a solution for question here then i think better sense of what demand that the mahdi reaches out to to pakistan for finding a solution it's it's simply it cannot happen in an air of in of this in an area which is by a continuous a string of allegations winding or link every. responsible for everything ok well let's just bring in victoria here mean obviously it's a very heated scenario no matter who you speak to victoria whether it's in india or in pakistan you're hearing what our guests are saying i mean in terms of trying to find a solution and also trying to find restraint how difficult is that for politicians on both sides at the moment because we always know there's always backroom diplomacy that goes on between any two nations and what has to assume there must be

some form of backroom diplomacy that goes on between india and pakistan. well there has been very good diplomacy over the decades and i think what one has to do in this this current scenario is go back a little bit to the history and see what's happened before as you mentioned i've written on kasmir i wrote my first book which was published in one thousand nine hundred six that's nearly twenty three years ago and i'm afraid this is a repetition different players different prime ministers different actors but of of what's happened in the past and this is where i do think both governments have to actually take a step back and take stock and until they do something more than the tit for tat the blame game this is going to happen again and again and one always keeps saying with the next time it happens you know we must make sure it doesn't happen again but this is a rerun of of what has happened in the past and i feel we are losing sight of what the actual issue is the issue stand as we know from one hundred forty seven and

partition but if you look at the state we talk about kashmir is there is a monolithic whole it isn't a monolithic whole we're talking about people who live in the valley of kashmir but the kashmir state jungle in kashmir is made up of jumbled adar gilgan baltistan on the pakistan administered side in this narrow strip of land that the pakistanis call as a jungle in kashmir and they they're all people there who have different aspirations and certainly these terrorist attacks don't help with the resolution and they certainly don't help the people living in the valley because. if there are politicians in india watching this program will certainly i'm sure on many domestic channels talking about how to resolve this is it now time to try and talk. or should i say it's not time for new delhi to try and talk in a constructive manner to politicians civil society policy makers within indian

administered kashmir to try and find out what they can do because there seems to be an impasse really on the domestic front in india does there not where if the community in the region that doesn't get what it wants at the moment and is happy with the way they're being treated there are demonstrations on the streets we've seen gunfire affecting families children the community at large when will be the right time to talk i think it's got to have more significance. not terrorism and confidence building measures before he can we can even talk about the dialogue of it pakistan what does not talk about. are talking about it's not talking you know none of it no no no no no us have justice to charlie i'm not talking about pakistan i'm talking about the indian government in new delhi speaking to civil society in indian administered kashmir they have mr modi's government has done very little talking he's opened railway lines open hospitals he needs to start talking to the people doesn't he know about science i love it so. no

let me get in please see a lot of these civil society you talk about in the kashmir valley dems are separatists and they are in my international they are indicating national and state are indian sascha only doing any national institute in talking they are indian puppyhood holders they have the right and national israel not the whole of the lands and who do not resort to terror they are indian passport holders i have no right to speak to the government so i am the one who carried out those who said bombing was also an indian national the one who carried out a suicide bombing was also an indian national do you want us to talk to such people we talk to those who have resorted to nonviolence and were willing to work within the confines of the indian constitution and that's the most important point we have all this said and prime minister more the us maintain it is pretty says have already said we are willing to have an internal settlement as long as you drop the secession claim because as far as india is concerned even not to dialogue with our internal citizens in kashmir are with pakistan as long as this claim for

revisionism is there you know if you are ok with the status quo if you want to reclaim part of the focus on occupied kashmir that's what you're looking at i don't think india right now any time the boss is willing to concede a single inch of territory or make any compromise on this so i think within that one spot you stand drops the claim was a civil society in kashmir you are talking about our village to work within the confines of the indian constitution and india's territorial integrity and you live with that you know more success and its movements have died out through settlements for internal autonomy so be a little one of those things as long as pakistan stays away and as long as the civil society does not go hand in glove a kind of a soft separatism because a kind of creating the genital and ideological once we talk about terrorism i don't want to interrupt you i know i'm having to come to the end of the program but i do want to go back to victoria in london because victoria i know you want to get in and comment on what mr charlie has said but we are heading towards an indian general election and what's happened here could very well play out on the much more

larger nationals. i was wondering how you think this is going to play out and of course yes i thought you just this is the problem i think this is a problem that it's going to obviously for domestic community the indian government is going to play this is you as a sort of. a way to garner support if nobody looks soft on pakistan this is not going to win many elections but what i do want to say is it which is very important not to lose sight of is that the indian government's policy towards the kashmir is has been to win hearts and minds and unfortunate this is what they were talking about twenty five years ago but unfortunately they have managed to do the exact reverse an especially since i've been traveling that the alienation in the valley is back up again and i think this is where the indian government has to really look to itself and say why is this alienation obviously when you have a high military presence you're going to have human rights abuses and it's this cycle of human rights abuses alienation that the government has to get out of in

minutes. take a look at our federal prison population see how many of them percentage was. illegal aliens president donald trump declares a national emergency on the issue of a border war and illegal immigration. or the trickle presentation they are attempting on february twenty third will not happen venezuela's president nicolas maduro telling us he won't let us aid into his country. india promises a crushing response to an attack an indian administered kashmir it blames on pakistan. and support brazilian football team flamengo have played their first match since a deadly training ground fire sunset pay tribute to the ten teenage victims a drink that game at rio's maracana stadium.

below it was his signature campaign pledge in two thousand and sixteen now two years on it may be the defining issue of donald trump's presidency democrats in the u.s. congress blasted his decision to clear a national to declare a national emergency on the southern border they say it is a power grab and violates the u.s. constitution a chance declaration allows him to get emergency funding for the war along the border. we're going to be signing today and registering a national emergency and it's a great thing to do because we have an invasion of drugs invasion of gangs invasion of people and it's not acceptable or white house correspondent kimberly how he joins us live from there in washington so kimberly now that he has declared this a national emergency what happens next because it certainly isn't going to end

there is it. no there are going to be two tracks the first will be legislative in terms of the challenge trying to overcome or overturn this and the second will be in the courts through the legal mechanisms let's start with the legislative process we already know that democrats in the house of representatives led by the speaker nancy pelosi plan to launch a legislation to overturn what they say is the president's power grab if you will and that this is likely to pass in the house of representatives where things get tricky is with respect to the senate because any legislation has to pass both chambers the senate is controlled by republicans who are supportive largely of the president but many are feeling very uncomfortable and ideologically opposed to how the president is going about getting this funding for his border wall well they support a wall along the southern border to try and stop illegal immigration they don't

necessarily agree with how the president they view him is circumventing congress which typically controls the public purse so this is where things get interesting expect that it will be long and drawn out with respect to the legal challenges we know that they are already mounting this is something the white house says it is a paid it some public advocacy groups have said that this is an illegal declaration of national emergency many have called this a racist wall against the express intention of congress as you point out this is a signature campaign promise for donald trump in twenty sixteen but now it is likely to also become an issue on the campaign trail as both democrats and the president are campaigning now to control the white house in two thousand and twenty and how how politically difficult is this going to be for. trump's party republicans in the senate because they've got a difficult choice to make here haven't they when they when they back him on this or choose to oppose him because there are there are pitfalls either way on it. yeah

you know we've seen since the september eleventh attacks this increasing sort of imperial presidency type creep this. the u.s. constitution does give presidents broad authority when it comes to national security and so we've seen since sets of presidents starting with george w. bush then barack obama. essentially usurping their power isn't being open to sort of the accusations that they are imperial presidents this is sort of congress has the oversight authority over the lead the executive branch they're co-equal branches of government but we've really seen congress kind of winning in terms of exercising this power but this could be a whole different ball game many republicans are concerned about this being a violation of the u.s. constitution and are likely to break with donald trump on this issue again well they may be supportive of stopping illegal immigration something that we should

point out congress has neglected to do for some twenty years democrats and republicans agree on that but many republicans especially in the u.s. senate very nervous about how the president may have exceeded his authority is even a violation of the u.s. constitution so we're going to see this play out in the u.s. congress we're also going to see this play out in the courts expect that this will be long and lengthy all right kimberly how can lie first in washington thanks kimberly or kris kross here is a political commentator and former deputy director of the u.s. department of commerce he joins us now from washington thanks very much for being with us so. this is a decision that is going to be challenges for sure certainly by democrats in congress senate is likely to be legal challenges to it as well does does the president have a strong legal case for this. right well so i'm not in the stern i

can't give the perspective of an attorney i can't certainly give a legal opinion but what i can say is that i think that the american people and congress are expecting consistency from the president when when we see the president declaring a national emergency along the southern border we can look to some precedent from previous administrations where we've had past presidents all the way back to jimmy carter president obama president obama president bush president bush we've all declared national emergencies and we've even seen state governors who have declared national emergencies along the along the border we had janet janet napolitano who was obama's secretary when she was president when she was the governor of arizona she declared a national emergency along the border as did the previous governor of new mexico so this is not something that we've seen that is that is a sudden announcement by the president he's acting within his legal construct i think that the certainly the white house has advised him that this is within his authority as the president united states certainly with issues regarding national security and the president is going to have

a difficult time certainly in the house but i think that the senate will certainly support the president and we can get into how we can look at those that embrace the president during the midterm elections won their reelection those that did not embrace the president lost their reelection so that's going to be something interesting to take a look at as well i take your point that you're not a legal scholar and so you can't you can't really get into the legal issues but when he declares a national emergency there are many people who are saying that this this kind of stretches credibility because he's been he's been saying this for several weeks now and now he's decided to do it. because he couldn't get it any other way so so if it was such an emergency why couldn't he have done it earlier. right so a lot of people say well the president had control of both the house and the senate for the first two years of his administration of the problem is that when you when you put bills through the through the house you can you can certainly have that majority and the and the republicans did have

a majority on the senate side however you need to have sixty votes you can't just have fifty one votes to pass legislation senate rules were car that were choir there would have to be sixty votes he didn't have those sixty votes we only had fifty three republicans in the senate so if you take a look at the nuclear option which is something that he was asking mitch mcconnell to do mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader on the republican side said absolutely not we don't want to set the precedent for a democrat led the senate to to then use the nuclear option so the president's doing what he can within his construct it's certainly going to get in the advice from the white house counsel i'm sure he's he's explored the option of a national emergency i think that they've given him the green light and the president is using that as an opportunity to secure not what he would call his border wall but what i believe he believes is the american people's border wall and people talk about this being a campaign pledge but there's a reason why the president was elected by the american people who truly believe that this border security issue is an is an emergency. you say to the american

people believe that this is an important issue but poll last a poll has shown that they don't support the president doing it by declaring this a national emergency and there are those who will say that because he'd lost he lost the battle through congress that he is he is risking doing long term damage to the constitution by going down this route what do you say to that. well i think that's what the that's what the courts are for i think that's what the supreme court ultimately will be in charge of determining the constitutionality of this certainly at least the first legal opinion that he's percent he's been briefed you know through his white house counsel's office has provided him is that this is in with this is in his confines this is within his authority as as the president of united states i think that if you take a look at previous administrations who have already set the precedent of executive action the president's not doing anything new certainly president obama used his

pen and his phone to get to get measures done through through executive action did not work with congress for example but what i think that we can take a look at in the big picture is in an ideal setting of course the american people would want to see congress do its job which is why when congress doesn't do its job they have the lowest approval rating they have lowest lower approval ratings than the president does himself so the president has made a promise that the people a lot that him to accomplish a job and i think it's really the president's opinion that he has got to fulfill that promise to the american people however he has to do that good to speak with you chris garcia in washington. and five hundred leaders from around the world have been meeting in munich germany to discuss a host of issues including the threat from isis in the last few weeks the armed group has lost almost all of its territory in syria and iraq. today my fellow ministers and i took steps to not only solidify our progress in the middle east but

to look beyond it we discuss what the future of our coalition looks like i for one envision an even bigger and stronger coalition going forward there is no one size fits all approach to permanently defeating isis is influence across the globe our coalition is addressing the threat in each region and what is required from us to beat those threats. we view our next steps through a whole of government where it's ensuring that we will apply the right set of tools to address each situation. is life force in munich so this is an annual security conference that takes place there in germany and the u.s. representatives one of whom we just heard from there have been making the case for continuing the battle against isobel what are some of the other issues that are dominating discussions there was you mentioned the house of this annual event is

focused as a title obviously on security but more importantly of the security of.
