3:00 am
with ice along the brink of defeat us back syrian forces start moving civilians out of a key village. while in the region's refugee camps a new problem for western governments whether to allow i still fighters up their families to return home. to the raman you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha also coming up. what these creatures did to me i still actually have a weekly therapy session seeking answers from the pope the head of a catholic conference on sexual abuse also. it's compact and perfectly portable.
3:01 am
but when the device opens up your world. it's called the fold but it'll cost you plenty of the folding stuff. welcome to the program i saw once controlled most of eastern syria and a third of iraq it's now on the brink of defeat with its territory reduced to just a sliver us back syrian democratic forces and start to move civilians from syria's eastern village of power is a sign of the standoff that's lasted more than a week and could soon end several trucks have left the besieged area with men women and children it's believed deisel fighters use civilians as human shields as many as five hundred fighters remain holed up in the area evacuated civilians are being moved to the whole camp further north it's where many eisel brides including
3:02 am
british teenagers show me a big have ended up. further south on syria's border with jordan it lies inside the so-called de confliction zone set up by the u.s. forces and controlled by the free syrian army. it twenty four hour window to allow people to leave the remote camp has not passed but no one used the card or set up by russian forces forty thousand people have been enduring terrible conditions with little food or medicine in one camp. on the syria turkey border. at least ten trucks have left the alba who's village pairing 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 i says interesting 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
3:03 am
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've asked to dig tunnels and what we're hearing is a lot of those are suffices in those tunnels so there's 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 a bond camp on 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 corey doors down 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
3:04 am
a 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 become my original why i am for me personally if i leave it would be our need to go from one death trap to a not that if i found a safe place from a my kids in my family i would guard finishing the game on the shot by pulling the crossing is a good step but we wanted to be our the same by the un because. lies we've been told before nobody believes these crossings are safe so despite the fact that there is a very desperate situation people are running low on food on oil on. water and they're living effectively on top of each other this is a very real question of the russian and syrian motives. although the window came to an end this morning open for twenty four hours it's unclear whether the russians
3:05 am
and the syrians will keep the corridors open for only longer. bangladesh's foreign minister says a british teenager who fled london to join will not be allowed into his country on choose to the u.k. move to strip should be a big u.k. citizenship believing that she also holds bangladeshi nationality. of. finding clothes papers that relate to a decision taken by this is how nineteen year old should mean 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. my family made it sound like me to come back to the u.k. when i was. 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 to be living in isis last stronghold
3:06 am
before arriving at the camp can i say tonight i think british prime minister said the decision to revoke begum citizenship had been carefully considered the overall point the 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 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 which should mean the begum grew up an area with
3:07 am
a large bangladeshi community in london's east end the case is divided opinion here there's just so many factors in this and i'm actually quite a bit torn to that one hundred it was the truth about the citizenship 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 are 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. begum says she doesn't regret travelling to syria she's also described the twenty seven team manchester arena bomb attack is justified retaliate 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 him as sexual exploitation we were talking about
3:08 am
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 have been 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 leave barca al-jazeera london. well in another case president trump has directed the state department to stop an american born woman who joined us all from returning to the u.s. home with hannah says she made a mistake joining the armed group and wants to return with her eighteen month old son but secretary of state pompei is says the twenty four year old has no legal claim to american citizenship hasn't she is a lawyer former tennis family he says she's only asking to return to the u.s. to face the justice system. i personally spoke to the f.b.i. on sunday and i said listen. wants to turn herself in to american authorities we
3:09 am
simply want the legal process that we believe in to play itself out and she's willing to pay whatever debts she has to society she's not asking for a free pass we were you know on behalf of her family we were the ones who contacted the f.b.i. when we first learned that would have went to syria this is something that we absolutely condemn in the strong this of terms and the families always wanted her to come back and to face the legal system that we all believe in and now she's willing to do that and the government of i think is missing out on a tremendous opportunity to one gain intelligence from her and to really be able to utilize her as a strong voice against a monstrous groups like isis that have brainwashed many individuals and manipulated them to do horrible things that i think somebody like could. sing isis speaking out against them at great risk to her personal life as a sign of victory for the u.s. i think it's very hypocritical in fact why did he get so much attention recently was exactly because donald trump tweeted that europe should take back its citizens who have joined isis so for him on one day to claim europe should take its citizens
3:10 am
back because it would be dangerous to leave them just out and about and then for him to hypocritically almost the very next day deny taking back an american citizen who wants to turn herself in it just simply doesn't make sense i also think it speaks to a broader problem of presidential overreach which will affect more than just who it affects all americans when the president claims the authority now to direct the secretary of state to strip sufficient ship of americans that's a very very scary thing that u.s. citizenship is the most sacred thing and you don't lose it even by coming the worst of crimes i mean the united states you have people who commit murder mass murder and even get out of jail after serving twenty twenty five years and having paid their debt to society under their state laws and they still retain their citizenship this is a young woman she made serious mistakes that we condemn that frankly discussed us and her family but she's willing to pay the price and she want to speak out to make sure nobody else repeats those mistakes. well ahead of catholic church has angered survivors of sexual abuse before a four day conference at the vatican even begins the pope was due to meet victims
3:11 am
on wednesday ahead of the meeting with senior clergy but he didn't show up challenge from vatican city. each of these people have stories to tell their own stories or other people's stories of years of suffering of the hands of catholic priests bishops and cardinals. on the eve of an unprecedented meeting on sexual abuse at 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 abuser you two are not going to be a priest anymore. starting from when he was seven peter saunders was abused by three different men it was it was sexual assault i don't i don't i don't really need to go into graphic detail but i was sexually assaulted by all these characters and
3:12 am
whilst i have recovered in the physical sense it didn't have any long lasting effect on the 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 and 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 have been given the chance to speak their own person so they were putting great importance on their expected separate meeting with the pope but it didn't go as planned first of all pope francis wasn't there but made it very clear some of us that's not ok whereas the 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
3:13 am
but survivors have still told us that they are 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 lawry chalons al-jazeera the vatican. still ahead here on out is there a new challenge for theresa may as three of her m.p.'s quit the party over bricks it from lunch saving treatment to mine the elements venezuela's court says forces people to seek treatment anywhere but at home. hello there it's going to be very wet for some of us in china over the next few days already the satellite picture is showing all the clouds working its way up

3:15 am
parts of india as we head through the next few days for the south it was largely dry including in sri lanka. the weather sponsored in town. between two thousand and two thousand and seven there were nine racist murders in different parts of germany but the police were painfully slow to track down the killer. al jazeera world reveals the truth about the deaths linked by a single weapon. the involvement of the far right and the serious political force that ensued the cheska murders case solved on al-jazeera.
3:16 am
welcome back you're watching al-jazeera with me so robin a reminder of our top stories u.s. bank syria democratic forces have started to move civilians from syria's eastern village of. says the number of civilians lysol fighters are still inside the armed groups remaining claves. western governments are ruling on whether i still fighters and their families can return home one thousand euros show me i'm a big girl has been stripped of her british citizenship and donald trump has directed the state department to stop an american board. from turning homes while. the head of the catholic church has angered survivors of sexual abuse before a four day conference of the vatican even begins the pope failed to show up at a meeting with victims on wednesday ahead of his summit with senior clergy. to the u.k. now where exit from the european union has been thrown into further chaos after
3:17 am
three m.p.'s quit the ruling party over the prime minister's strategy now they've joined eight employees of the opposition who formed a new political group paul brennan passable. britain and the e.u. are careering towards a bracks a deadline in less than forty days and the political tempo is only becoming more frantic and more uncertain and the british parliament internal party divisions have accelerated into full blown resignations three conservatives now joining eight labor m.p.'s in going independent i also hope it gives courage to members of the government who are deeply concerned about this no deal becoming a real a real possibility and it will give them the coverage next week to do but frankly some of them should on a long time. in their joint resignation letter the three former conservatives say that their final straw was the government's disastrous handling of it it was unconscionable they wrote that
3:18 am
a conservative government was recklessly marching the country to the cliff edge of no deal and they lamented the failure of politics in general the resignations of the elephant in the room at the weekly session of prime minister's questions despite the eleven new independent tempi sitting very noticeably in new seats in the chamber by the theresa may not jeremy corbyn acknowledge them here mark hurd. this place as at war with itself the tories and the labor party other employee. scotland deserves better of we. are here in france for a refund if the british prime minister's way out was to travel from london to brussels to meet the european commission president. and his chief negotiator michel barnier they did not shake hands for the cameras and in fact the fancy dress unicom protesters outside looked more optimistic than the diplomats inside. no breakthrough was predicted and by the time the prime minister's convoy departed no compromise had been reached but there is
3:19 am
a growing sense of time running out and some suggest that the emergence of the independent group will embolden other dissenters we don't know how it will impact how it all turns out. it does make it look that now there's a new independent group but they'll make more independent action from other m.p.'s more rather than less likely perhaps the most interesting aspect of the resignations of these eleven m.p.'s is not their individual grievances but the collective grievance that politics in the u.k. is broken and that the political landscape dominated by just two main parties is ill equipped to deal with the polarizing nature of the brics it debate the real test will be how many more m.p.'s they can persuade to join them ahead of the meaningful vote on the next step for bracks it next week paul brennan al-jazeera westminster. iran has accused the us of hypocrisy after it emerged that members of the trumpet ministrations sought to share nuclear technology with saudi arabia the white house pulled out of the landmark twenty fifty nuclear deal with iran in may
3:20 am
last year the democrats are launched an investigation into whether corporate interests were put ahead of the law in dealing with the saudis this is the latest example of how the u.s. president sees his relationship with saudi arabia it was the first country donald trump visited after becoming president and he often talked about the importance of arms sales to the kingdom and says they're worth more than one hundred billion dollars and despite growing anger over the saudi emirates the war in yemen trump has opposed congressional efforts to stop u.s. involvement in the conflict tribes or saudi relations must not be undermined ignoring international calls for an investigation into crown prince mom had been sold mom's role over the murder of jamal khashoggi. and the iranian foreign minister a vertical shot jeep by tweeting first to dismember journalists now illicit sale of nuclear technology to saudi arabia fully exposed u.s. apocryphally mark fitzpatrick spent twenty six years in the u.s.
3:21 am
state department and is executive director of the washington office of the international institute of strategic studies he says it appears the trumpet ministration broke the law. there is a clear legal obligation before selling any nuclear technology to get a congressional approval the administration submits a. request and then in ninety days if congress doesn't oppose and it goes through but no approval was submitted secondly there's an ethical clear ethical violation of individuals in the administration who stood to profit from it advocating policy and then there are the proliferation concerns of even selling nuclear technology to saudi arabia which has made it clear its intentions to have a nuclear weapons option so there are strong reasons to be very concerned about this report the saudis have made it clear they want technology in order to have an
3:22 am
option for nuclear weapons and it's the exact reason why the trump administration has been so harsh on iran because iran has had a similar nuclear hedging strategy there was a deal done to try to control it and trump blew up the deal so on the one hand. damning iran for adhering to a deal and giving a free hand wanting to give a free hand to the saudis who haven't agreed to any limits on their nuclear technology is a real yes it's hypocrisy. of the americas venezuelan opposition leader one. he's going to head with plans to bring in u.s. medical and food aid to find the military backed government of president nicolas maduro the lack of supplies the medical staff was not fed as well as health system close to collapse of the many patients to travel to neighboring countries the cat. spoke to patients in the brazilian city of bovis to the venezuelan border.
3:23 am
three a live body but full of spirit rafael majorca exudes the kind of calm determination most people in his condition would find hard to muster. before being. transported to this hospital in neighboring brazil the thirty year old venezuelan was at death's door and while he's still extremely weak he's also much improved. my why that is sexy he had skin rashes pneumonia and all of his conditions would derive from his diabetes which was uncontrolled that's most probably because access to things like insulin is writ and venezuela is insulin a medication for diabetes patients readily available in most countries the world over but rafael whose aunt watches over him now just as she had prayed over him when he was in a coma wasn't so lucky i've been afraid in venezuela we can't get anything life just isn't good we can't get medicine we can't get insulin nothing had verify all
3:24 am
stayed there he wouldn't be alive today. for the time being rafael is unable to speak but he is communicative his doctor who studied medicine in venezuela still finds it hard to believe things have gotten so bad in her patient's homeland and i had to go when i was a student venezuela had to acknowledge that we couldn't find in brazil not just equipment but also medicine we now see that in only a few years the house system deteriorated to the point that they don't even have the most basic needs. in this relatively poor part of brazil the influx of so many venezuelans in need of medical care has put further strain on the area's already stretched healthcare facilities walking through crowded corridors of where i'm a general hospital the director general shows me how they no longer have space for all the patients sadly rafael is one of many even as well as at this hospital suffering from a medical condition that should have been easily treatable another stark reminder
3:25 am
of the near complete collapse of the health care system in venezuela. before coming to brazil thirty four year old ricci cordoba kept going to see the doctor about the pain in his abdomen he was assured many times it was nothing serious but months after arriving here in the city of boston he got the proper diagnosis appendicitis and an old server and i mean in my job in a salon it's a shame venezuelans have to leave their country we will born because of the economic situation and because of the lack of medicines for illness and go to other countries who receive us with a friendly embrace. some may call it an embrace others may call it treatment for many ailing venezuelans though it's a much needed road to recovery they simply cannot find at home mohammed atta. in her i'm a state resilient. jury and fuel supplies have cut the price of petrol in a bid to encourage people to travel to vote in presidential elections on saturday
