questioned in the allegations that british forces may have provided support for child soldiers as part of the soudan you a coalition. there is one especially disturbing allegation in the mail on sunday's report which was that our forces are providing support to locally recruited saudi funded militia where many of the fighters up to forty percent it was alleged are children as young as thirteen years old so i would ask the minister of state if that is in any way true because if he is then he will confirm the offices are not just a party to this conflict but witnesses to war crimes i'm hearing that we get to the bottom of those allegations again i am very keen also not to in any way mis mislead the house. but there are issues that were made in relation to any engagement that involves bringing child soldiers on board would be i think it would be appalling charlie rangel has more now from london. this source of these allegations is

dug from the sands of cutter this fossil is more than two million years old an essential part of the country's cultural heritage and a natural exhibit for the new national museum this extraordinary building is designed inside and out to mimic the intersecting discs of a desert rose. each space showcases a different theme designed by a renowned french architect to create too long the sun rose. to latch on to scale something very difficult to do when you know they're using a suspension he said driving the phrase strong technology be aren't so user centanni cities and he said imagine the russian ship was an eternity of your desert and the modern e.t.a. of today it's taken eight years to complete the building and its contents are intended to educate and inspire visitors arteries to foreign workers and tourists the nomads of arabia will tell you that the desert rose symbolizes the hope that

there is water underneath and that is the message that organizers at this museum would like people to take away with them. ham building was still underway even for arab countries imposed by land air and sea blockade on other now the museum's creators want to use it to illustrate the region's shared history. we believe that. culture should really stay away from any political tension between countries and it is a really open in fact we have a team from from the blockading countries are working with us and us and this is very great when you work with the people who believe in the culture and and they believe that culture attache should have no boundaries innovation in design can be seen everywhere here the idea is to give equal prominence to each and every exhibit to help with it is understand the global significance of potter's history. qatar has some of the most significant pearls and they were used to design

a european tailor as you'll see in the galleries and also a pair o. deckard but they came from the bar edge of the road that was supposed to be gifted as a cover for the tomb of the prophet muhammad so the brotherhood is always in dialogue with the rest of the world and therefore i don't believe in importing any culture i think cultures are always in dialogue and exchanging knowledge between east west you can even say norse i was. before the oil and gas pool diving drill but there's economy the country's relationship with water is another key theme it's my first divorce of film it's the first time i've used this kind of pretty futuristic technology stitched cameras it's shot entirely in covered with cut thirty's curators also want to highlight the role of women in a free society this is not the first time we've had the national museum and we were

the first museum in the gulf and this is something that is very interesting for a series reopen and actually show the public our heritage all the research we've been doing for years really find this very interesting to be able to bring all these stories together and actually not not say everything which is why the exhibit is to actually inmarsat ourselves into expanding on different topics and using the architect of the national museum of but there wants to do stand for centuries a shared ambition between those who planned and built the vision of a grand desert draws osama bin. tough a quick check of the headlines here that the british parliament has failed to agree on the turn of jobs and prime minister to resume his principal out on wednesday and he has to control the process from leaving the main sponsor to step down if they've bought. one and has the latest from westminster. nobody expected

that any of the ace at this early stage would get a clear majority there will be another votes round on monday of next week that was already part of the process that the m.p.'s wrote into it when they seized control of this seven hour window of opportunity today so they're going to have another go on monday i think what's interesting is the margins that we're looking at here and the idea that the customs union for example was only beaten by a majority of eight votes now that's very tight indeed when you consider that the government's own deal was last put before parliament and was defeated by one hundred forty nine votes you can see there actually you know the customs union came a lot closer to securing a majority than the government's. deal did algeria's ruling f.l.n. parties backing the army's calls for president i've been aziz but

a fee to be declared unfit for office on monday the army chief suggested that an article from the constitution could be triggered and forced which if he could to step down and grounds of ill health the president has already agreed not to stand for a thief term after weeks of protests the u.s. secretary of state says the trump administration still working to identify who's responsible of the murder of saudi journalism. mike pumpin made the comments at a congressional hearing we are continuing all across the government certainly an overt means and all the tools that we have in our capacity to learn more facts about this president. as made very clear that we will continue to work to identify those who are responsible for jamal khashoggi his murder and hold them accountable we will i stand by that today syrian state news is reporting a number of their strikes have hit the northern city of aleppo. the syrian arab news agency says they were an israeli attack and claim that syria's

advances intercepted several missiles well those are the headlines news continues on al-jazeera off to the stream state you. hi i'm femi oke a and you are in the stream as exxon is adjusting to life under a new president off the new small town as a by have unexpectedly stood down what is install for millions of young people who

have never known any other leader send your thoughts via twitter but today. for twenty nine yes no full time as a by f. has been front and center of public life in kazakstan but that changed a week ago when he announced he was handing the presidency to cassim yeth a trusted loyalist his decision. and central asia his how and that's why you have to cause his resignation. sure. today i appeal to you as i always did in the important moments in the history of our state which we have built and are building together but my appeal today is special i have made it difficult decision to retire from responsibility of the president of the kazakhstan republic that is probably a few years of storm yet another lunar startles i was granted the status of the first president leader of the nation i remain chairman of the security council to

which the law grants serious power in determining interior and foreign policy i remain chairman of the no party and a member of the constitutional council. one of the first major decisions by now by your successor was to rename kazik stones capital on saturday a new satanic became the new name for ass donna a city that was rebuilt into one of central asia is because trade and tourism hobbs' by s. rule but what does the surprise handover of the presidency after three decades me for young people in cabinet start to talk about this we have. of editor in chief of step that's an independent digital media outlet he joins us from almaty or so now what is i got him to learn you know how nova a freelance journalist who has written widely on kazakh politics colleague ash is a researcher at advocate on gender rights and sexual education she joins us from

mosul tam the kazakh capital recently named from aston and from prague we have total cooled off he is has a service director radio free europe radio liberty good to have you here everybody high much nineteen or you're not going to get to that date in a hurry hello everybody so you get to have your that date set in your memory i'm looking at a tweet here from europe but didn't have internet connection for the last day the minute i got connected my phone started buzzing i had six hundred. twenty eight i read messages on my whatsapp on the resignation of the press and a catholic star i was in a state a shop for a second after all has been that all my life has tagged as a by last torak or what is your story of when you found out how you found out your reaction. was we. suck the first impression and reaction was for us for many people in our cars are people

who have been telling the news and events and custom it has that have been a shock because as you are. very rightly pointed out at the beginning of the show all the. country and the young people under thirty either have never seen another leader and this is a three day kates when one person on the main position suddenly he announced as the starting down it was that shot but the stock was changed on the next worth probably main the disappointment after their newly appointed. interim president doesn't have much of a gnome's initiated the renaming as name of the capital of to nasm by oath yeah because many people far seen that the auld side of

the cult of personality sure that is some good bike left kind of gas where were you when did you find out that your current president your past president was was about to hand over power. yes i was actually a location traveling in kurdistan you know as out following the news and then my friend texted me and everybody learned this news would you get asking me my greatest friends like how do you feel how is it your prose that step down. a i. kind of don't feel anything right now i. had better wait out and see only time can tell in the next day we had another news which was not that wasn't pleasant as the first news if i can him you try to sum up that shocking to an actual article that you wrote for the independent and catholic stomp the last

soviet era president has suddenly resigned and this is what it means for my people . i might tell you right now and i want to know mighty when i read them years it was maybe one hour before actual announcement that the president has urgent at or germs address to the nation so i was a bit intrigued what he has to say because there were several addresses to the mission previously and sometimes people were weighted with the shocking resignation but it didn't happen so a good start and i wasn't prepared for that when i was least in the first started talking look it was seven zero one pm when he said that he's going to step out and yeah i couldn't believe my ears to be honest and beth and

i had some weird mixture of emotions at that time and there. and then after a few days i have thought it over and wrote him out a coach. danny it feels like they are the whole the whole nation was in some kind of trauma and getting over it together and then no sooner if they find out that the president the capital name was changing so on march the twenty second march twenty third people weren't happy they were talking about this let me give you some idea of the comments that people were sharing. the shoes of you rename the city very negatively because the name aston a is a brand i think nursultan is not right at all we have never sold ten st ten university and now the capital city nursultan i think that is over. so i am against renaming to newer sultan because us tonight is a world brand everyone knows us enough from expo twenty seventeen zero s c

international summit and such things. we are happy that they named the capital after the first president this was day in history for the next generation to my grandchildren. my. that i wonder if this might be assigning the muscle tired it is still going to be a round the former president is still going to be around there still may be some way that he's influencing current politics in kazakstan what do you think. well exactly i totally agree with you in the sense that. in expert community basically everyone was discussing what would be dissin areas and. i think the last year a new law on the security council has been approved so the president moves now as the chairman of the security council was many important kind of tools at a level just he has or in foreign policy on security and domestic politics as well

so now he controls basically all of the key critical areas and will look as the sort of immediate mediator as a transcendental figure that will basically you know control all the important processes in the country i think think it's really interesting that this is the year of youth in kazakstan exactly everything i've just got here president of the republic of castle standing twenty nine thousand the year he for more than two thousand casmir students and faculty members gathered at the palace to students for the opening of the east year how's it going so far yes. well the u.s. is generally is not interested in politics and i think it's a global threat. there is kind of a kazakhstan a logic in this in the sense that the us had lived totally under the well president and they get to use that have so what they really think is that well many

important issues are solved where there are enough in the capital and not on the local level so my opinion is generally disregarded or even more so this is the attitude we have bad you know with this event happening with the resignation of the president i think the they have we have a mind shift now and so people now know that actually this president could leave and the other president put south so there's definitely a new interesting ideas could pop up in their heads how to live and how to talk about politics talk ok. yes i think the person you're mentioned not many things will be changed and we because he mentioned about a security council powerful now a party which has given constitutional power. after the war

was into fact last year it also plans to cuba sieved to the nuts and most receive the title of first president almost one thousand years ago and the leader of the nation one years ago. two years ago he was announced as the bus there which means a habit of nation or people in cars out language and it was because of his historic mission he was giving the. lifelong right to give initiatives on state building but you mentioned domestic and foreign policy and national security what's more. cars are state bodies are obliged. now to consider it wasn't a bios proposals what is very very important was about himself and his family and their property and back accounts have also being given full immunity from prosecution and that isn't that he's also chairman of the ruling party now and.

what is interesting that even now in terms of them customs a lot of it is just a member of that party colleague at let me bring you back into the conversation a piece that you wrote quite recently the crisis afflicting kazakstan city youth. and that was that was a little while ago excuse me and you're talking about this crisis for the u.s. but now we're in the year of the year what do you think the biggest issue is for young people. despite the fact that this is a year if you think that the government is ready for a politically active youth at least know the youth knows how to be active when they're of course there are a lot of. young voices now can be heard and i hope there will be positive changes in this but it's just we still have this legacy. we just decide for

young people instead of listening to them and letting them. see what they think and how they would like to be treated and what they would like to do. i just saw there something to that well i grew but what carla got to say and the sense that. well they used to slap that active as we may want in the sense that unfortunately only are not there not as the major big cities that could actually bet that is the place where the young generation could practice some of the activist. activist movements and so on abdullah the head we should not ignore the social media as i have written in some of the papers there says the actually one of the rabble places without so much censorship or was out so much control so many of

the people are feeling much more comfortable themselves and in expressing that they ideas and social media desaturated had something of value or of artistic battle but when you have that when we talk about you of this is actually there. more than even the whole of the population of kazakhstan yeah. unemployment is one of the main problems is this we may discover an official statistics say for example the rate of unemployment is less than five percent but in the reality it might be much higher the recent events and i was sent on this as a note was the western culture stunt show that especially in the google places of the situation might be completely different. in the recent weeks dozens of young people have been protesting there for several weeks in front of the local administrations and they were demanding jobs. not many media actually no

media has been covering the event for quite a long time and we are from radio free were deliberately cause our service sent our reporters there. to cover their purses and to show their. voices yes but. actually it was short of the rest of our journalists there by police. and we what they were released later and the journalists don't back to hear those people and we showed them sleep and their people were mainly young people and they were demanding jobs and was it was things that we wouldn't be even happy to have a salary you know job was a salary of about four hundred u.s.d. talk or let me share this with you this is from t.j. and today is picking up where you were discussing just

a moment that i personally think that unemployment high level of poverty and also infrastructure is the major headache of the young in kazakstan what does infrastructure actually mean what are the issues that. all of them can then just jumping so i don't you take that yes you're bent well going back to the question about the role of yours. being a young person myself i think it's very important for young people to understand what role they can play in the development of their future of their country and right now it's it's been very unclear as we can see there are limited options to participate or a socially and economically and people i've seen many young people who really love their country and they want to contribute but there are so many barriers that they can't live up actually and they can't. go forward and. use their

potential to help develop the country and some of them leave the country unfortunately so i came in when t.j. says that unemployment poverty and infrastructure we told our infrastructure never trains etc but how does that impact young people in cars and stuff infrastructure i think this person meant that because the extent is really a big country it's a nine speakers country in the world and we really have some interest dr problems in terms of their very expensive domestic supplies and along. like you have a very long time you have to spend a lot tyrants traveling inside of ca's expense for example to take the train from east to the west might take even today source three days so that's i think what

this person meant by interest truck sure we need some more. grieco ways to get to places and more affordable ways to get there. if i'm going to continue i think that person all some. accommodation for people because it was one of the major major problems for especially young specialists. or so or middle class people because surjit is quite difficult now because i started especially in big cities to get your all our sort of argument very high rate of interest rates. mortgages that is very even present those are both some time ago about two years ago i think if otoh you used his own position which later was also criticized for not working well but

this is one of the major problems we use i think it's also kind of sarcastic that we're having. and you're a huge emblem was this paper airplane was it oh no i think it was a paper bird but then people started making jokes that they actually paper airplane because young people they don't have much opportunity or some cover and then they're just leaving because they get different chand or disappointed so far in the country so i guess something that we haven't touched on quite yet is how able young people actually anybody in kazakstan is able to. talk about that descent talk about the issues talk about the challenges talk about the politics so i want to introduce into this conversation bata jutta mally she as she now is living in exile she was a lawyer who helped people who were being put in prison for protesting she helped them for human rights issues and she brings up something that we haven't talked

about yet have a listen. well you sleep you protest. to understand that it's not see who are. huge now there's no freedom of speech or freedom of assembly in kazakhstan's who by participating in the protest are young people who give you time out to receive just is resident from eugene so that's that who is seriously mitigations political in teaching young people classics than yes are you comfortable with sharing those experiences and kazakstan are you able to speak freely for instance or maybe the media person working in one of the line media is. of course really consider what should we talk and how should return but generally our

editorial policy is not to talk about politics since many other outlets are talking about that so our main mission and focus for example is to make people feel believe that they could you know invest in themselves and develop and do something even if there is there are many problems in the country so they could so you know contribute to the society and the country that we are. happy i just want to let you just touch on social media before we move on if i may danny other some of the you've gone deep into hash tag activism use social media politics in kazakstan this is where the young people are able to have a voice what do they say. yeah that's true i mean they're quite aware of having a fly in activism risk so they quite aware they could be you know centers or so on and so they move gradually to such platforms as you to for example to voice their

concerns and at least formulate darry the as they are the group and disappointment so there's also i think one of the important steps and developments we have in the country i don't. want something to look to the borders of the mother said about the expression of phone. views not only among young people but for all the people who somehow might criticize actions of of forty's this is truly a we live dangerously becoming a dangerous kind of war because of that we don't go far just last week on friday several people in a lot of the in astana mainly they were of organizing small protest meetings against the renaming the capsule sitting at about twenty at least twenty people who were arrested. all are journalists from radios up the out of carols they were

covering and. earlier there were groups of young people though probably used by it of foreign to these they were trying to. stop preventing i would join us from covering that event and blocking our way yeah i want to show that if i might you know when you tweeted this out this video out i'm just going to shake just for a little moment here so you can see i have a genesis trying to and this is now a journalist zachary i i see that as you see it just happened this is a latest example of hardy's kind of or this meeting so taking place in class. on the words i have to ask you this question because we're almost at the end of this show age as ever out of it is as watching this he's following on you tube he wanted to ask you all this question how can you change the name of your capital to a person's name was he loved so much he was to take.

your stuff. i think people were not just i don't think that if they were the we would do that because of the u.s. it's already a brand and we are already invested so much time in resources into building those brands and some people say that the. woman said. do you want to put a president's first president's name into our history but security has a lot of me going through so we didn't have to do this with a couple owning. thank you so much she's been so interesting having all of your thoughts here from young people from kazakstan we really appreciate that one comment here from mohammed to here who works for radio free europe radio liberty as well and he talks about the protests against the main change of the protests of the land reform or workers' a mother's protest reactions or get the government's inaction on the situation and

change jang and wondering how the leadership change will affect this trend let me remind you what that leadership change is you can see just behind me this is the old guard handing over to actually the old guard what next for kazakstan thanks so much for being part of this program thank you guess for being part of the show us the next time on the street. april on al-jazeera nato leaders will gather to celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the alliance in washington d.c. madam husain engages in rigorous debates cutting through the headlines on up front twenty five years on from the genocide that killed nearly a million people rolonda has rebuilt but how far of its people have been reconciled
