believed when we have the response from the white house and that is look we'll give you general information and general briefing about how security clearances are given out but we're not going to get any information on individual cases because that would violate the privacy of those individuals the house committee now saying they will think about what the next step will be it's not clear yet whether subpoenas will be following which might then really lead to a court action which might mean that this is all just caught up for months and months and months and bureaucracy but certainly this debate is beginning now in earnest evidence as emerging from iraq that juveniles are being tortured into confessing crimes including being involved with eisel. northern iraq spoke exclusively to one teenager's family. passing through the checkpoint was supposed to bring the seventeen year old we're calling zara closer to a future with hope instead his family says kurdish security forces in northern iraq

snatched any chance of that he was arrested eight months ago as the family was trying to cross into erbil to escape a tribal feud back home in mosul. security forces blindfolded handcuffed and hit him when they slapped him he had to say he joined eisel for three days the interrogator said it's not enough if you don't confess to more we'll hand you over to other security forces my son was very young at the time and afraid . as them is now serving a sentence for joining i saw here at the reformatory for females and juveniles his family says they managed to keep him out of reach of the armed group during its control of mosul and he's an innocent boy tortured into making a false confession since twenty sixteen human rights watch says forty one juveniles have reported being tied in stress positions given electric shocks and being beaten

by kurdish security forces with electric cables plastic pipes and rods in order to extract confessions and the alleged torture continued here at this facility designed to rehabilitate juveniles. and we have tolerance of those fighters who have confessed already there isolate members on pietist i don't believe there's any need any sort of touch to take with couple of children and make sure they have to be confessed on the torture so this is very much you know reject according to human rights watch several juvenile inmates say some of the guards beat them for misbehaving subjected them to death threats and verbal abuse and kept them in their cells for long periods of time these are victims and as victims they should be given every opportunity to reintegrate rehabilitate and rejoin society although we were given access to interview inmates there was no way to protect their identities

from the staff. we work in a transparent way and don't intend to keep a lid on bad things if these things took place in our facility we would be preventing media and local and international organizations from visiting. as that is supposed to be released soon but his family worries if he returns to mosul which is under the jurisdiction of the federal government in baghdad he'll get arrested again this time by iraqi forces well known huffy that a general huffy genius of the this isn't justice my son is stigmatized for the rest of his life and he'll carry the fear of being arrested at any time as with many victims alleging torture the teenager may also face a lifelong struggle with the psychological trauma natasha going to aim al-jazeera erbium. just a few members will have all the weather with heaven and then some ahead here on

now let's come today where they've actually seen snow in some of the higher elevations actually snow mt moss and came down to about eight hundred meters that is the big drastic swing just because a cold front has gone through that area now we're still dealing with that cold front as it's making its way across parts of southeastern australia action sydney that cold front was so powerful that we saw thunderstorms with bring seventeen thousand homes without power as well as low visibility with some of the dust that pushed through the area that front is going to continue to make its way towards the north over the north over the next few days we didn't see the term just come down from into the thirty's down to about twenty two degrees and city heavy rain is going to be a big problem up here towards brisbane we're also going to see the next front about to make its way across parts of hobart where we are going to see temperatures go down to about nineteen degrees so still cool across much of the area in the interior though alice springs it is still quite a few thirty degrees for you there up towards north darwin at thirty five degrees in townsville about twenty nine there. the weather sponsored by qatar enjoys.

al-jazeera. above. and again you're watching al-jazeera has reminder of our top stories this hour north korea is reportedly restoring facilities as a long ways rocket launch site that it's months old last year reports in south korean media follow the failed summit last week between donald trump and kim jong il. algeria's army chief says he won't let the country go back to what he calls an era of bloodshed and is talking as to students that more quote eighty two year old present uprisings puts a thicker to stand down. and new satellite

pictures appear to refute india's claim that it destroyed a religious school to the armed. impacts done india has said strikes hit all intended targets and killed hundreds of fighters. is a form endian army colonel and economist on stevie confessed defense and diplomacy joins us now live from new delhi good to have you with us when we look at this report how much of a disconnect between well the indian government has happened and what appears to be the reality. of well to be fair to the indian government have not been very specific in making claims beyond initially seeing a large number of militants had been killed and then later talking about the large number of more violence that were transmitting from that area before the strike which eventually were not there once the strike had gone and

a lot of the figures that you're hearing three hundred militants killed two hundred fifty militants it was many of those figures are. reporting government officials whispering into reporters and do not reflect the accurate position of the government but. that having been said there is there are really two dimensions to what we are talking about here one was india's demonstration of intent to abandon strategic restraint and strike back whenever there's a terrorist attack on on its soil and on and on its security forces where a large number of people have been killed now that aspect which was the demonstration of intent that has been demonstrated whether or not the targets were hit or whether the bombs missed by an hundred meters two hundred or two hundred fifty the second thing other than intent to skip ability can you actually strike

your targets and that's where a question mark has now come in as a result of these these particular satellite photographs so intent is their capability still a question mark ok yes because the government did say this as strikes have hit all intended targets and yet it does not say that any targets have been hit a few hind trains and i think there was a witness reports of a crowd i mean it doesn't seem as if any of the buildings were damaged or indeed any people were killed but how much that actually matter to the indian people that the that there is this disconnect. where you make an important point because there is a huge political domestic political dimension to this with the general elections coming up next month and the indian people want to believe that the air force has achieved it seem has hit it stopped it's just like the pakistani people will not

believe that that has been indeed been the case. in the final balance when you take a step back and look at it from the strategic point of view it really doesn't matter where you hit the targets are not because there is no clarity yet on whether the government was actually trying to hit that madrassa over the. really demonstrating intent by placing the bombs one hundred or two hundred meters away from them these are questions that will keep getting discussed both in pakistan and in india and that's how the government of india wants it when you're making a strategic statement it doesn't always have to be absolutely clear what you're doing you know as long as you can create the doubt in the minds of the adversary you're achieving your strategic intent so to that extent we don't know whether the government of india was actually trying to hold back on casualties to not provoke a major in by actually killing three hundred people but to at the same time

demonstrate that it would be capable of doing so if it wanted to ok what do you think india might do next in this conflict because tensions are still riding pretty high. that that's the million dollar question the aim of this whole issue aim of the airstrikes the aim of this whole escalation from the libyan side was to compel pakistan to stracke crack down on terrorist groups specifically the jascha mahmut which was responsible for that suicide bomb attack in srinagar on february the fourteenth that seems to be happening yesterday. the brother and the son of the jesuit mom wrested many of its facilities were closed down by pakistan pakistan says it's acting in its own interest india is perfectly happy with that so the objectives of the attacks seem to be. sort of being achieved as we speak

so if that continues if pakistan continues down this path there is no reason at all for india to escalate any further because escalation comes with its own risks its own and unpredictability that nobody knows what happens once you start going down that path so india would be very happy to leave things as it were true. why did pakistan continues cracking down from the prime minister's viewpoint he'll be able to tell the electorate of india that look i compelled pakistan to take action i'm a strong prime minister i've seen if guarded and didn't interests and therefore vote for me in this election that's a very good indeed speech thanks for joining us there from new delhi. now many flights have been canceled from the canyons main airport following a strike by aviation. place of being deployed to disperse protesters outside. a labor dispute between a workers' union and kenya. correspondent joins us live now from.

are talking about a hundred and fifty dollars fifty one hundred fifty one hundred twenty million dollars that this airport makes in revenue every year k.q. very much we're being told to keep it afloat we've had from government officials as well as some politicians who are saying that we cannot let our national carry out. that this is a win win situation for all but beyond that also there's some politics a touchy some people say that some very powerful individuals politicians want to take over management of this airport through kenya airways because they also hold a very huge stake in that airline laura ok catherine so many thanks for the latest there from nairobi. and ireland are investigating explosive devices to airports and a major train station there was discovered london's heathrow. and what the railway

britain's most senior police officer disagrees in the last few years police officers numbers have gone down a lot of there's been a lot of cuts in other public services i agree that there is some link between violent crime on the streets obviously and the police and police numbers of course there is not i think everybody would would see that mohammed has she is a youth worker on the front line in communities most affected by violent crime he's also a victim i was stabbed an attempted robbery and i was in a watch on a break up a fight with some young people but for me again i was someone that was well qualified i was never involved in gangs of violence etc however that kind of reinforcing the dice is not really a choice for a young person to be a victim or or necessarily a perpetrator if the environment kind of pushes you in a certain direction. for us as i don't have really let down our young people and you actually bear the scars yeah so i've. got shot in the show six stitches in my
