british politicians resign from their political parties over breaks it this time three lawmakers from the ruling conservative party on the high speed rail link that's become a billion dollars symbol of the strained relationship between france and italy. i still wants control most of eastern syria and a third of iraq but it's now on the brink of defeat its territory reduced to a sliver of land that u.s. backed syrian democratic forces have started evacuating civilians from syria's eastern village of it's a crucial sign that it could be an end to a standoff that's lost it more than a week several trucks have left the besieged enclave carrying men women and children it's believed i still fight is use civilians as human shields or some five hundred fighters remain holed up in the area evacuated civilians have been taken to

the camp in northern syria which has been coined the village of the damned it's where many eisel brides including the british teenager shamima begum have ended up a camp a segregated one park for ordinary citizens the other for suspected i still families meanwhile further south on syria's border with jordan is the camp it lies inside the so-called de confliction zones has helped by u.s. forces and is controlled by free syrian army rebels well there are around forty thousand. people mostly women and children living in the rock band camp they were given a twenty four hour window to leave by the syrian government in russia but many decided to stay because of safety concerns imran khan brings us the latest now from the at the turkey syria border. at least ten trucks have left the alba who's village carrying women and children now the civilians have been a real concern for both the united nations and the syrian democratic forces in

effect both the united nations on the center and democratic forces say i see a using those civilians as human shields now it's in ices interest of keep the civilians there because it stops the s.t.'s from coming inside the village now the village most of it has actually been completely destroyed and the civilians and living in what is effectively tented camps in the outskirts of that village now given that they've now been able to leave yes the ethyl very confident they'll be able to go in and deal with isis fighters although the i suffices had a very long time to prepare for this fight they knew it was going to come at some point and they biased to dig tunnels and what we're hearing is a lot of those are suffices in those tunnels and still be a very tough fight for the syrian democratic forces now as i say whilst all this goes on we still have the situation in iraq up on camp now our camp is controlled by the f.s.a. there is a no man's land effectively about fifty five kilometers before you get to these russian and syrian opened corydoras now these corridors so-called humanitarian

corridors allegedly going to allow syrians in the camp mostly women and children to be able to go north however there's a real suspicion let's hear what few people have sight to see 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 cut by bridges that i am for me personally if i leave it would be army to go from one death trap to another and if i found a safe place from a my kids in my family i would guard business religion not that i've been in the crossing is a good step but we wanted to be our the same by the un because of. lies we've been told before nobody believes these crossings are safe so despite the fact that there is a very desperate situation in the camp people are running low on food on oil on accommodation

or water and they're living effectively on top of each other this is a very real situation of the russian and syrian motives and this although the window came to an end not him this morning it was a pretty tense for hours it's unclear whether the russians and the syrians will keep the corridors open for any longer. meanwhile bangladesh's foreign minister is saying that the british teenager who fled london to join i.c.l. and who is now in the other how can we mentioned earlier will not be allowed into his country on choose day the u.k. move to strip shamima begum citizenship believing she was a deal national with bangladeshi heritage the foka has more from london please find enclosed papers that relate to a decision taken by the this is how nineteen year olds should be maclagan learned that she was being stripped of her british citizenship from a copy of a letter from the british home office begum is in a refugee camp in syria where she was discovered earlier this month. and apart

breaking to read and i thought i would my family made it sound like it would be a lot easier for me to come back to the u.k. when i was speaking to them involved. kind of. in twenty fifteen she and two friends left the u.k. to join i saw in syria she married a dutch eisel fighter soon after arriving and have been living in i saw the whole before arriving at the camp can i say to you i think it's british prime minister said the decision to revoke begum citizenship would be carefully considered the overall point my article friend makes is absolutely right which is how important it is for this government and this country to make very clear that we will take action against those who are involved in terrorism the british government can withdraw a person citizenship if they are deemed a security risk providing it doesn't leave them stateless it's believed begum has bangladeshi heritage and is eligible for citizenship but when asked about the case the country's foreign ministry said teenager begum is not

a bangladeshi citizen there is no question of begum being allowed to enter bangladesh bacon's infant son is a british national by birth the british government says his rights and unaffected. this is bethnal green where should be begun grew up an area with a large bangladeshi community in london's eastend the case is divided opinion here . there's just so many fat and i'm actually quite a bit torn to the one hundred it was the truth but this is the ship i want them to bring her in the baby ava but the other hand i'm like she did go away and she did join you know terrorists agree. only fifteen when she left for syria there were some including the former head of britain's foreign intelligence service m i six people leave the british society should be strong enough to give her a second chance others want her to come to the u.k. to stand trial to possibly face a prison sentence and enter into a deal radicalization program. but says she doesn't regret traveling to syria

she's also described the twenty seventeen bunches serina bomb attack is justified retaliation the comments haven't won her much sympathy but one former senior police officer believes begum should be seen as a victim you know we took intimate sexual exploitation we were talking about individuals that were on the on the internet being radicalized parents had no idea whatsoever what was happening. an estimated nine hundred british nationals have joined eisel but only forty of being prosecuted the government wants to send a tough signal to others hoping to return to the u.k. but every right or wrong decision the government makes sets a precedent for others. al-jazeera london. and leader of pakistan administered kashmir massoud khan has told al jazeera he fears there is a risk of war with india after last week's attack in the disputed region forty one

indian paramilitary soldiers were killed on based on group jaish e mohammad claimed responsibility on and says that the pakistani government was not involved in the attack. we reject the allegations that the indian government has made and we all saw denounced the kind of frenzy that indian ruling party and the extremist groups have picked up there in india and the kind of anti pakistani anti sentiment that there we bring up there is a very very negative and this is pushing the two countries to the brink of war and we really are against this kind of warmongering the other reaction that i want to give is that there is a bigger reality there is this incident of course and pakistan has denied any responsibility has made but at the same time i would like to say that there is

a bigger reality there and the bigger reality is that for the past so do one cheers midis have been brutalized and about half a million views have been killed in the past. seventy one cheers and killing are continuing people are being tortured and maimed and blinded. now kashmiris across n.p.r. saying that they have been harassed threatened and assaulted since last week's suicide bombing in indian controlled kashmir many blame indian news channels and social media for stoking the violence against them as jamil reports on this now from new delhi. from topps the suspect was standing working with us that for us was our city this is one of many videos posted on social media targeting anyone in india even suspected of being unpatriotic because he's living in india have become prime targets with many telling stories of being harassed threatened and worse. or this could marry student was studying in an indian

university when a local mob forced him and other kashmiris to flee he doesn't want to be identified for fear of reprisals against him and other students. he says the violence began after a twitter post celebrating the deaths of indian troops in kashmir was spread on campus he believes the post was fake but the damage has been done and the people reported. there are spreading hatred. like many marys he says he left kashmir because of violence there made him feel unsafe but in light of what's happening to them in india. and nobody wants. to know some kashmiri say it's not just social media that stoking hatred against kashmiris in india they see the mainstream indian media as adding to the tensions and that leading to more violence several television channels have had near continuous coverage of the attack on indian troops some parents feel the media is

partly to blame for kashmiri students now being targeted. the way indian media is provoking people and trying to incite trouble i don't think kashmiris are safe in india. but others blame india's leadership for not cracking down on the violence criticizing prime minister narendra modi for not condemning attacks against mary's or even appealing for calm the silence had been designed precisely. to give give space to every client he was to meet to come out you know come out with nukes and grand crevices and crannies every agree. the great is the people used to be ashamed of in the past are now being glorified. the result of that is being felt by kashmiris across india as many now make their way back to kashmir saying it's safer being in india as jamil al jazeera new delhi

of catholic priests bishops and cardinals. on the eve of an unprecedented meeting on sexual abuse of the vatican they brought their stories to tell pope francis. speaking to journalists earlier in the day survivors explained what they wanted but zero tolerance if you've abused a child you're not going to be a priest anymore and if you've covered up for that abuse or. you two are not going to be a priest anymore. starting from when he was seven like i just saw and is abused by three different men but it was sexual assault i don't think i didn't really need to go into graphic detail but i was sexually assaulted by these characters and while still having recovered in the physical sense it didn't have any long lasting effect on me what these creatures did to me i still actually have a weekly therapy session because it messes your mind up. it's abuse like this that

the vatican says it's determined to put a stop to that the four day meeting is vital in impressing on senior clarity who've come from around the world that it's their shared responsibility to do so but although cardinals and bishops will hear video testimony from victims of sexual abuse no survivors is being given the chance to speak with her in person now so they were putting great importance on their expected separate meeting at the party but it didn't go as planned first of all pope francis wasn't there probably made it very clear some of us that's not ok we're going to see victims see it as a sign of disrespect that the leader of the catholic church sent bishops instead this vatican summits on sexual abuse may be unprecedented in its size and its scope but survivors have still told us that they all skeptical that it's going to lead to any meaningful change and their experiences on wednesday have only reinforced that feeling for them the summit has got off to a bad start before it's even begun the return on al-jazeera the vatican. iran's
