ways the campaign is a getting them messages out. u.s. president donald trump is urging britain france and germany to take back and put on trial more than eight hundred i still fighters captured in syria on twitter he goes on to say the caliphate is ready to fall is not a good one and that will be forced to release them the u.s. does not want to watch as these isis fighters permeates europe which is where they're expected to go to do so much and spend so much time for others to step up and do the job they are so capable of doing we are pulling back one hundred percent caliphate victory get some reaction out of europe from. just a moment he's a munich but first let's go to iran calling on the turkey syria border and iran give us an idea what happens to these ice all fights as who off from all parts of
11:02 am
the world once they surrender or are captured from the battlefield. well the process is actually quite simple what happens is when they surrender or are captured they are taken to a prison run by the syrian democratic forces and held areas and that's where they are detained and questioned if there's ice a wives and children taken to a separate specifically for them again in area where the confusion lies is actually. has jurisdiction over these parent in his tweet the u.s. prison donald trump seems to suggest that they're in custody which is a surprise given that these are s.t.'s comes in as the f held areas also he's encouraging europe to take these prisoners but we've been told that a lot of the people who have been tapped to do surrender actually come from non european countries the chechens there but the pakistanis iraq is quite why he's
11:03 am
asking your planes to get involved is causing some confusion here absolutely ok well let's now turn to europe to get some reaction national joins us from new nic how the europeans like you to respond to donald trump telling them to take these i still find his background as enron says that many of them and even from europe. nor this has been a crucial issue for germany the u.k. and france from quite some time although they remain quite tight lipped about the number of the. european detainees in the camps are run by the s.d.s. forces and this became more pronounced in december when the s.d.f. threatened to release all of those fighters and there was a concern that if they managed to get back to you of their would a leash major security concerns yesterday for example here at the munich security conference there was a panel discussion about syria and to mattingly all the european countries said
11:04 am
basically that the decision by the u.s. to withdraw from syria is premature and could pose a significant threat they have also been asking the turkish government not to move ahead with a plan to take over members and i think one of the reasons why they are pretty much concerned about the are pretty much concerned about their withdrawal is basically because of the issue of the european prisoners former i say the fighters. detained by the forces many european countries are still debating the formalities of when those fighters along with their families we're talking about fighters along with their families are handed over to europe french foreign minister for example quoted saying about a few weeks ago that the moment they were handed over to the french authorities there will be handed over back to the just. authorities to decide their fate and if
11:05 am
you look for example of the case of similar big-o. in the oky the pregnant. lady who is now pleading to go back home it just shows how europe is very concerned about what happens when all those people are familiar with eisel. come back home many questions indeed ok thanks very much for spending some of them there from europe. now rebel fighters in yemen say they have launched a major attack across the border with saudi arabia. media and saudi media sources reporting a number of soldiers died in the fighting groups has taken a number of saudi military positions south of the city of rebels also say they've captured a large amount of arms. most significant border fighting to take place since the sweden agreement aimed at deescalation the conflict was signed in december well

11:07 am
to happen so it's really important to see how the two sides in the conflict don't want to see peace but the rest of the world is kind of ready for it especially because of the humanitarian crisis there are two two options for yemen either war or peace and we know that war is only going to make things worse and peace is the only way to save yemeni lives and so it's kind of the only game in town we're going to find out what's going to happen very soon on monday when the united nations has its close meeting about yemen and we're going to find out what's going to happen next i expect that they're going to put more pressure into both. on to the u.n. envoy and to pressure the war in sides in this conflict to kind of be serious about the peace that's going to that has to happen in yemen for the sake of humanity and for the sake of ending a famine and to save an impoverished country. the us military has lifted tons of aid to the colombian town of kuta on the venezuelan president nicolas maduro is
