man venezuela's military reaffirms its moyle to president nicolas maduro. allowing the u.s. an investigation has been launched into whether trump in ministration is rushing to sell sensitive nuclear technology to saudi arabia a committee in the house of representatives read by the rival democratic party says whistleblowers have warned of corporate interests are being put the head of the law mike hanna reports from washington. the twenty four page report is extensive and reach in detail providing names dates and specific communications relating to u.s. nuclear technology in saudi arabia the oversight committee under representative elijah cummings based the report on what it calls whistleblower accounts evidence provided by career officials within the administration deeply concerned about what

would appear to be a deeply corrupt process circumventing congress what is surprising us the scope of u.s. government officials. directly involved and nice business to business talks. whipped out this close and potential economic interest in the work that they were doing and that is certainly what is new among those named in the report to president trump's son in law and adviser jared cushion or who refinanced a deeply indebted new york building with a company called brookfield business partners which had just acquired a nuclear services company westinghouse electric under scrutiny as well question his ongoing relationship with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon. and central to the report longtime trump supporter and one time national security advisor michael flynn who the report says was deeply involved in pushing

a nuclear plan for saudi arabia that included the construction of as many as forty saudi nuclear plants the report says michael flynn was a paid advisor to a company known as i p three international during the presidential campaign through the transition period and even while serving as national security advisor the report ends on february the twelfth that is last week president trump participated in a white house meeting with private nuclear power developers initiated by i p three international and as a democrat led oversight committee commences a large scale investigation the question is whether house republicans will commit to it as well mike hanna al-jazeera washington well you know we spoke to roger shanahan who is a research fellow at the lowy institute for international policy he says the

allegations give an idea of where the trump administration's priorities lie. it's indicative of president trump's white house's view of u.s. foreign policy in a ration it's really a transactional. less about the nature of governance in the regime and really about commercial opportunities not think this is just further extension or would have been a further extension of that trump foreign policy for the middle east and the gulf in particular the fact that there are too many conflicts of interest here in sydney model flew in for a period of time the national security adviser had been also an advisor to one of the corporations that was looking to advance this nuclear power plant construction project so he certainly would have being conflicted because he hadn't yet as far as where where a link wish to cheat because consultancy company and this number of other former city military offices who appear to be involved as well so while the report is not

. good everybody about the degree of responsibility this certainly some saying if he is who would have benefited financially from this it if it had gone it. a twenty four hour window opened by syria's government and russia to allow people to leave a remote refugee camp has now closed but no one has been able to get out rock band camp is in the syrian desert near the border with jordan and iraq forty thousand people mostly women and children have been living there some of them for years they've been suffering suffering with little food or medicine and some of the explain why they didn't use the corridor to leave here and never saw the show but i study the crossings opened by the regime and the russian military police are claimed to be safe but the people here are not feeling any safety or stability people here feel as if they are drowning and looking for anything at all to rescue

themselves the road to the camp has been kind. of people don't believe that these crossings are open. but. for me personally if i leave it would be only to go from one death trap to another if i found a safe place for maine my kids and my family i would go to this visit that opening the crossing is a good step but we wanted to be overseen by the un because of lies we have been told before nobody believes these crossings are safe. or imran khan is live for us now in gaziantep on the turkish side of the border with syria so iran we got a sense from people there of the mistrust and the lack of confidence they have that there is a safe passage here for them. the fact of the russians and the syrians looks like it feels like haven't actually

negotiated with the free syrian army who are backed by the us who control the camp now and previous. that have taken place that allowed people to leave one area to another it's always been monitored by an international organization like the united nations the united nations and we have nothing to do with this so it feels like the russians and the syrians are putting on a bit of a show according to some people i've spoken to. these people say that actually what the russians and syrians are doing is saying yes we do take you very very seriously we're going to open the door we're going to allow people to leave but they haven't actually negotiated with. those people to leave and that's why you're getting that sense of. even know inside the camp itself the situation is incredible and what are conditions like for the people in that camp at the moment.

well we've been speaking. to people inside the camp frustration a lot of it has to do with the fact that the camp is simply not a refugee camp as you might. expect it's actually very makeshift lots of people. living in makeshift tents themselves and you have to remember this forty thousand people in that camp in a very tiny area eight hasn't been getting through to that camp the u.n. was only able to deliver aid a few days ago and that was after at least two months where no aid was delivered is a real sense of frustration the big things that they'll tell you is this energy of food lack of clean water and people are simply living on top of each other all right. now a british teenager who joined i saw in syria when she was fifteen years old could be about to lose her right to live in the u.k. shamima begum was one of three girls from east london who went to syria in twenty

fifteen it is reported the u.k. home office has issued an order to remove her citizenship just days ago she gave birth to a son in a syrian refugee camp a lawyer says they will fight the decision well joining me now from london is the to care and co-director of the institute on statelessness and inclusion thanks very much for being with us so how does this particular case then compare with the others there that your organization deals with and it's it's particularly problematic here because there is a baby involved as well that's right i mean we are concerned with this increasing sin that we see around the word us to giving them so power to stoop citizens of their citizenship and the u.k. has been one of the leaders in this you know unfortunately but it's and if you've seen in other countries as well as you said you needed this is the fact. that bibi

citizenship is now under a cloud is and isn't a concern because and international law to do with the loss of citizenship in south circumstances is certainly not a standard to be looked up to. so what options does she have at the moment then. well and in the u.k. under current leader three member oxen's lady lawyer. the challenge is of course she's not in the can't. resist number of questions about our bitch in this of the decision sister justice and due process so it's quite a. system balanced against the mormon deschutes these things that the prospects aren't looking great but on the other hand if you look at the needs of the disease and the many it will stick and i can there's a lot to be said for the fact that it is a sin was beaten and out where there would be

a legal basis for her to challenge it. now the government for their part have argued that they have the right to do this today there are attempts to have to strip people of their citizenship when when they make a decision to go and made it into joint eisel in syria and in the case of this woman she has given interviews in which she did not seem to express any any regret or remorse for her decision has has that you know hampered her case here look i mean it's this is the type of q. suites obviously there is as a whole or in the more center responses and it's also the type of. a secret see can i'm fortunate in in this situation to cause an accident which is quite populist but you tool because because. the recipient of these disputes and he's not someone who will appear to the masses but he to look at. i don't believe go free market the

country in the u.k. as a clam today did so and it's a rule of law you would find it out i do easy to bring the person over to the country and to try to demand a criminal law and to ensure that the atlanta to stand here today has to eat it and defend the school and security has decided that this is not the right course of x. but it's better to leave this person and be able languishing in a camp. and in a sense export the problem that the u.k. should be taking responsibility for to divide the international community at large it's deeply problematic by no means of libbers do you think that political considerations are are being taken a head of ever had any legal and human rights considerations here it's not to me to second guess that but i would suit that family as a human rights lawyer from an international un and it's not the speak to this

decision is deeply problematic it also raises questions about do you. who listen superabundant this because there is a whole secretary is basically assumed would recognise this person as as it's it is how it works it is only up to bangladesh and bangladesh learnt to me that this is and then the ukip cannot newts us this is and on bangladesh's regret. it will be interesting to see if the reverse happened but it is shifted to a citizen by to put into a dual citizen off its than. leaving the u.k. responsive. to see how the u.k. would react in that kind of situation and this is what i mean about international cooperation and you keep doing its rule as a responsible member of the international community could speak when you get out speaking to us there from london thanks for being with us. we don't know where the next stand then the u.n.
