the tom put put put it all the elections. over our own assessment is that if the elections went on. homes were not open. in the morning in all of these missions. yet we had the time and that force must form the same time i mean if we're caught. in this way not elections we use time. this is very important to public perception of elections honestly. and creatively. the commission hopes the delay would mean that everything will smoothly next week but not everyone is convinced we had reports in various places of compromises that have been done in can iran has returned some members of the independent national electoral commission and because those. highly indio they

decided to act fast on post one of the elections so to solve the explosions giving up charlie troop some are not actually ready to. nigerians have been here before both the past two elections were postponed one of them for weeks but what nigeria's actually angry about this time around is the shop notice they were given before the postponement was announced the electoral commission made the announcement just three hours to the time the polling stations were expected to all. voters reacted with a mixture of anger frustration and resume mission with some describing the electoral body as a disgrace this is the height of incompetence they call tree has never experienced this that could be caught on video of election does that as acts left look look look what you knew dr alicia was going to record of. immediately this morning we're finding out that yet the election as record of who does that is very disappointing very sad one is no one really shone for him as an engineer i think so embarrassed.

nigeria's two main political parties the ruling all progressives congress a.p.c. and the peoples democratic party p.d.p. swiftly condemned the delay and accused each other of trying to manipulate the. present moment of calm and appealed to majority and to refrain from civil disorder the presidential and parliamentary votes have been is scheduled for saturday twenty third for the governorship state assembly and local government elections will now be held on saturday the ninth of march mohamed atta walters era abuja nigeria earlier we spoke to robin sanders a former us ambassador to nigeria she said the delay could create new challenges both of voters and officials. previous elections two thousand and eleven two thousand and fifteen both those elections were postponed but one was two months out one was a month month this within twenty four hours of people going to the polls i think is

the thing that has really kind of hit observers as well as voters quite surprisingly because you would as soon as that logistical challenges that they saw those coming and that they could have tried to mitigate this but there are a couple of challenges with the postponement in addition to making sure that the materials that have been distributed and secure i think that there will be a lot of people wondering about that and how that's going to be handled be interesting to hear what i next says in their press conference with stakeholders later today but the other thing is that i think the big thing is boehner apathy and there's an economic impact on this postponement that is enormous there is a logistical impact just for voters alone there's no absentee vote in nigeria you have to be in your in your local government effort your polling place a lot of people came from either outside the country or their place to work to

their polling places schools and businesses have been closed to accommodate this voter workers have also been displaced so there's a lot of challenges to maintain into manage during the course of the week on top of possibly additional political rhetoric that wasn't there before. the blame game i'm sure is going to go on through the week because campaigning is now allowed through twenty first i believe so there's a lot of challenges in managing everything so that you do you still end up with free in fear elections at the end of the day after the polls next saturday. syria and russia say they're preparing to open humanitarian corridors to allow people in the required refugee camp to return home while the forty thousand refugees live in the camp on syria's border with jordan many people have died than extremely harsh desert conditions russia's military says two corridors will be opened along the border on tuesday yes vice president mike pence says the eisel

caliphates has been decimated and the armed group is down to its last mile of territory in syria is comments come ahead of an expected announcement by president trump on the u.s. military's withdrawal from the water own country the united states will keep a strong presence in the region we recognize it will not be enough to simply reclaim the territory of the caliphate. as we enter this new phrase the united states will continue to work with all our allies to hunt down the remnants of isis wherever and whenever the rear their ugly head. syria's eastern border with iraq the kurdish led syrian democratic forces are continuing their fence against eisel and the area in the eastern region of there is or is the last pocket of syrian territory controlled by the armed group iran khan has more from gaziantep on the turkey syria border. throughout saturday we've heard various different statements from a few different sources about what's going on with the other boy whose village the

last enclave of i sold is now surrounded by the syrian democratic forces the syrian democratic forces themselves have said that they surrounded the village and they are about to announce what they are calling good news soon now that comes hold of the heels of a statement by the u.s. vice president mike pence who said at this very hour the last mile of territory in syria where the black flag of dosh once flew dyce is the arabic acronym that the americans use is being captured and also we've heard from the syrian observatory of human rights now they've said that they have heard that the fighters have actually surrendered and that the battle is actually over but we have heard that officially from the syrian democratic forces now on friday the u.s. president donald trump said that he would have good news in the next twenty four hours that the caliphate would have been destroyed completely not schools some

confusion here within the region the iraqi government says the caliphate was actually destroyed the so-called declared state of isis was actually destroyed in two thousand and seventeen and i saw themselves haven't actually referred to the caliphate since two thousand and seventeen when they lost their territory. on the set let's meet a human rights activist and campaigner mesa gifford he joins me here in the studio also to know that you fought against us all for between twenty fourteen and twenty seventeen as a volunteer i want to ask you of late pence talking about the being down to the last mile of territory how difficult will it be to get that last mile and you know experience of the world there's no state has been condensed really over the past three years and they're desperate there's nowhere else for them to run so i wouldn't underestimate them just yet i expect a few more casualties from the coalition side but the end of the so-called caliphate is approaching so the next steps of the future of syria is going to be decided soon and i mean how organized are they so even if they're defeated

presumably that they have the power to set up sleeper cells that seems to be the the worry is that a kind of organized effort to well there's been a plan in the works for a while now i mean isis has established sleeper cells all over the areas that it's held in the past it's going to be one of the greatest challenges of the post conflict face and it will actually be a real threat to peace isis will try to undermine the coalition and the rest of the world at every opportunity and just about to their kind of operations in syria we saw when they left iraq that they can be trapped lots of bases lots of improvised explosive devices left behind to make places almost uninhabitable is that and they've been doing the same similar thing in syria yes well in iraq or alone there were thousands of i.d.'s i was there for six months fighting alongside the s.d.f. and in fact most of the many of the casualties suffered because of ideas in the legacy of that is going to blight the civil and civilian population for a long time to come so there's

a number of challenges in the future and what about that the ideology and we had the head of the u.k. security service also the same unit conference walk warning against triumphalism and talking about you know you can you can blunt the sharp end of the terrorist group with military but you can't kill an idea is that is that one of the problems that you yeah will migrate fairly moments don't trump is. short term political. very eager actually to get the low hanging fruit he wants to declare victory for his political support base so i want him to understand and the american government to understand that his the fight against isis is a long term commitment america britain the rest the world needs to pump this country with a huge amount of financial aid to make people feel liberated and that's the only way really we can defeat isis in the long term what was your impression of the people if you fought for us on what kind of draws them to that world and that ideology or the two types of fighter i suppose the foreign fighter is by far the most fanatic they have got

a lot to lose if they're captured they are so committed that they've left home thousands of miles away to go all the way to fight for a terrorist group the locals a mixture some have willingly joined but many more are just ordinary people caught up in the violence forced to fight for isis and actually appealing to them re integrating them in society is something that again the coalition is going to have a challenge with and in terms of kind of fighting the ideology what kind of methods at the moment do you think are success what is there anything that that works in dealing with this well i think education is king in america need to make people feel liberated they may need to make people feel like their children have a future in syria education not only for adults but for children is will sort of ease that transition but also people need jobs as well so there's a lot of problems that are going to read their ugly head quite soon and i hope don't trump is ready for it just briefly on that feeling liberated what do you mean

by that feeling liberated in the sense that syria has suffered so terribly of the past few years people have seen the homes destroyed communities wiped out they've had rhetoric evil rhetoric from many different sides whispered into their ear and i i want to see syrian society come together in a process of state building building a new democracy and essentially as democracy and that will involve not only effort by the syrian people but the whole world really and i see her thank you actually i thought thank you thank you. coming up in this news hour on the wrong side of humanitarian law an inquiry finds the british weapons sold to saudi arabia of caused significant civilian casualties during the war in yemen. the vatican expels a former u.s. cardinal over historic sexual abuse allegations. and in sports america's makes history at the world championships in sweden.

other ports as a justification for supplying weapons to the saudi and erotic coalition is flawed paul brennan has more from london. since the yemen war began in march twenty fifteen s strikes in military operations by the saudi led coalition forces are estimated to have directly killed more than sixty thousand civilians and that's not including the tens of thousands more who have died from starvation and disease. britain has licensed nearly seven billion dollars of arms exports to saudi arabia and the coalition nations since the war started and in twenty eighteen the un report alleged that u.k. and u.s. weapons have been used in attacks which may amount to war crimes now this house of lords committee has concluded that u.k. arms exports narrowly contravene humanitarian law and the government should act challenge the apparent violations much more vigorously put the pressure on the stock of agreement and reveal export licenses and tie them up certainly yes. would

remain clear closing down to some extent the flow of weapons the government had argued that saudi arabia's own review mechanisms were sufficient but the lords disagreed relying on assurances by saudi arabia and saudi led review processes is not an adequate way of implementing the obligations for a risk based assessment they said the government to set that in its licensing of arms sales to saudi arabia it is now really on the right side of international humanitarian law although conclusive evidence is not yet available we assess that it is now really on the wrong side. in twenty seventeen the group campaign against the arms trade tried and failed to have british weapons exports to saudi arabia declared illegal this new law to report has been published just weeks before the campaigners take their case to the appeal court and when you came a fighter jets are flying over yemen dropping u.k. made bombs but cannot be divorced from the responsibilities of the u.k. government it's time for the government to end its support for this terrible

catastrophic war and work towards a peaceful political solution for the moment the u.k. is not yet ready to change policy in a statement saying the key test for the export of items which might be used in the conflict in yemen is whether there is a clear risk that the equipment might be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law our current assessment is that exports to saudi arabia are consistent with the consolidated e.u. and national arms export licensing criteria this highly critical report from a committee of the u.k. parliament upper house comes at a critical time in the war in yemen as it approaches its fourth anniversary next month and with western powers increasingly seeking to distance themselves from the conduct of the saudi led coalition and the central message of this report from the lords is that the u.k. government really needs to decide now where its priorities lie paul brennan al-jazeera london thousands of people turned out in iran for the mass funeral of

personally i want it at that age even the parents must already be conscious of the child's criminal accountability because whatever happens they will be made responsible for the child defeats if they don't end up in general anyway then why not at an early age have them go through lectures with social workers to instill accountability i am comfortable with age twelve. since last year police have been rounding up children who stay past curfew in different parts of manila most of them are taken to precincts where they are processed before being returned to their parents the government says it is one of the measures through with the streets of crime like. document with the. worst of the crimes. activists say the government is wrongly fixated on criminal liability they say
