years of age so i think there's a sense that he will begin to leave his mark very early to try and build that legacy very early on in his reign and to an extent we've already seen that as a say king now for more than ten years he's already made some significant changes that increase his power he changed a military backed constitution that went through a public referendum albeit under some pretty dubious circumstances but at pos that public referendum and after that this king decided to change some aspects of the constitution to give him greater powers without sending it back to the public for approval so obviously that's the power he enjoys and the power that he has decided to exercise he's also taken full control of the palace fortune this is what the one of the most wealthy mana keys in the will now has full control over that fortune so he is now one of the most wealthy and powerful monarchs in the world so i think we're already seeing a sign that he really wants to leave his mark. build his legacy straight away. why

after radicalized youth stay with us. on council because this week trump gambles the world economy shutting down iran's ability to sell oil . indestructible phone screen about chinese tech giants of the f.b.i. stick. we'll talk to the inventor who suspects this technology is still counting the cost. point ironic that when many governments along the wall declared that the fight against terrorism is the number one priority this hasn't.
2:22 pm
the feel has continued the attacks have continued we have to wonder why is this the case. for the past twenty years i've been working on the question of political violence and terrorism it's persistence in our lives in our times in our societies begs the question why. could it be that the policies governments think will prevent violent extremism might actually be making things worse in the aftermath of the nine eleven attacks on the united states in two thousand and one you could visibly see that the world has been securitized a certain architecture of things has materialized literally there is a certain presence of the state security that has been increased.
2:23 pm
the militarized presence has really transformed the scene of the world around us. there has been new legislation that has increased powers of surveillance that have given more of an ability to shrink the privacy space for citizens around the world . news alerts all the time keeping the citizen on their toes a certain friends jala g of be careful observe with or if something that doesn't look right to be kept out tactically generally a sense of fear from. the threat has that been lessened has there been results in terms of addressing it and the paradox is that it has not quite the opposite so clearly something is not working. we must remember that the majority of political violence is not carried out in the
2:24 pm
name of any particular religion and certainly not only in the name of one in twenty seventeen here in the diverse london area finsbury park a man drove a value to the crowd leaving a mosque saying he wanted to kill all muslims but does the securitized response reflect this complex reality i've come to ask the young people here for their experiences. i was search more than four or five times within two months i felt that i was i was came because of my color run and religion wise i was actually. search for tongues as well in underground as a so-called random searches which i didn't think it was a random search it was a norm in that time and still now i think that you expect every now and then to get a stop it's not nice. but every now and then it happens in the narrative it has been going around for a such a long time if writing it here when i see bearded man carrying
2:25 pm
a bag i get. suspecting that's a reality it's a sad reality you when you have internalized it become like i said if i am a person of muslim faith and i get like that i am the same what the other people might fear as well and it's i don't think it's necessarily is the fault of the people is the responsible of the media we've done that people who often dorothy who put this narrative out there bearded man or a man of certain color may cause harm this needs to change we are kind of like brainwashed to think that one. so that's the obsession with security just affect muslims or do others feel that they are suspects as well looking at post nine eleven and how you have been experiencing a lot of terrorism attack and so how did you live through those years and how do you look at how authorities have been dealing with this it was challenging because people's perspective of the minority group had already been made up and their
2:26 pm
mindset towards people of color people of faith people from about kwame really didn't understand it was the fear of the unknown and we suffered from the collateral damage of that what's now expected of minorities after this event i feel like they're expected above and beyond decency in a sense to not be perceived as nuisance or minutes or any of these things i think is clear and devastating in how. we're automatically labeled with doing. and that city's based on person's actions is not the best example for the younger generation and if they have to walk around in fifth thinking of cause i look like this automatically i'm going to treat it like this it will be like this in the future not how people leave food and by race gender or religion you will it doesn't have to always be like the more you are probably to be if you are so is its
2:27 pm
core certainly from for me it's. living in this traumatized society everybody's living in fear of being judged being pointed at big keys being isolated how can we now face tomorrow knowing this is what people think of us while the british government claims to celebrate diversity many feel that their main policy against violent extremism reinforces these attitudes. given the right continue. to. represent terrorism. terrorism and. the three. just. prevents parts of the government's contest strategy which the counterterrorism initiative at fictious for example to identify signs that somebody might be vulnerable to radicalization or extremism in lectures might be looking for
2:28 pm
a change in behavior a change in social groups that young people are parts of mood for example it might be that people might sound a bit more aggressive they might. say if it's like in something from a far right websites or it's in the repeating nots it could be perhaps a change in drafts and suddenly an increase would just say to say the top three of definition of the lessons indeed absolutely. my son ten six a police officer from her via social. a lot of questions about his arabic teacher and what he was learning and i. remember my child timing to me like. why is he asked me the same question again and again.
2:29 pm
i didn't know my rights i felt like there was this big doll hole i fell into knowing because i sent my son to a school. we've documented nearly five hundred cases of individuals impacted by prevent today these cases demonstrate both and islamophobia framework operates within the policy but also we have now seen how the policy has created a collective trauma to the community including children so it's innocence the policy has created what is supposed to be fighting essentially you have to distance yourself from your family you just feel more and more isolated they have by day there was just you share your constant fear you have to do it alone whether it's teachers or doctors your social workers anybody you have this mistrust of everybody
2:30 pm
because you don't know anymore who to trust and you don't know what will happen to your children if you go to a doctor or if they will report you to someone. it's very interesting to see that which george orwell was wired to go out decades ago has in effect now materialized. and speaks a certain language of authority he speaks. a certain language of demonization of certain groups are racialized a certain approach to discrimination that is a name. growing up since nine eleven this generation starts from a completely different perspective than other generations would have had one where it starts from a point of view of fear of
2:31 pm
a certain vulnerability of having to prove itself almost being paranoid all the time this very sense of uncertainty but also of a certain vulnerability. to find out how this might affect young people psychologically i've come to meet the verge introduce a psychologist who deals with marginalized young people. threat is the number worn through password really you know we're told it's everywhere we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody and everything and i think it has a real impact on one's sense of self as we know children are incredibly receptive and perceptive you know if a think that their teacher or star of our or even mental health professionals are screening them that starts to really fragment the way in which you can have a relationship with a young person and yet today we have kids sitting in a class and feeling that they are in a policing system and the impact is you don't belong here you don't fit for
2:32 pm
a child who's developing and trying to find a way of being in the world that's a huge. sort of rebuff and i think that what i've seen then happens is that the narrative grows everybody feeling that's difficult but this child suddenly children and then find themselves excluded not in mainstream school there in people refer units young people that i've worked with can find themselves there and really have a struggle you know internally about is this me is this is this the person i am well actually yes people are telling them it is. that's why all that and then i think there is this sort of gathering momentum for many of the old to join gangs to join to join because because that's the trajectory and it's very difficult to resist. being labeled a threat leads in many ways if the person is not
2:33 pm
a threat and if they are innocent to a sense of injustice many reports show that injustice and out of your nation are factors in making people susceptible to the appeal from groups like islamic states who have found ways to turn the west glamorization of violence against itself. grossly mission impossible type of movie or a homeland type of t.v. series where this is all staged and presented as the logical normal narrative of the new world we live in. the paradox of the imagery as it is literally downloaded on these youth is that it becomes internalized the look at it process it and they themselves tend to sometimes have to find ways to act in the video game for hours. and then many of those ending say in the military of the united states on forces.
