the attorney general instead insists that this shows that it tribunals is biased in favor of far gravels. leading and increasingly anti illegal state of affairs was consolidating in colombia which conspires against the rule of law and exposes our society to crime despite the prosecutor's warnings. now martinez has also been dodging calls for his resignation for allegedly being part of a huge corruption scandal here in latin america known as the other bread scandal but what's clear is that this is definitely another chapter in the ongoing battle to try in this mantle the peace tribunals the government since the beginning of the year has been trying to change the law governing tribunals what's clear is that there is growing polarization a growing political battle here in colombia over the very difficult implementation of the peace deal.
1:19 pm

1:21 pm
a pregnancy the stream is the next thing that has to hold out whether someone saying someone is for it doesn't matter when you think it's how you approach it and that's what it is a certain way of doing it you can't just. store in the out. i am from you ok and your in the stream today how could the so-called children of the caliphate be helped by rights activists say minors who once lived in a controlled territory should be repatriated to other countries but security experts warn that they could pose a threat to what do you think your comments in the you tube chatter will do her best to get those cards into. syria lawyer vice president of the syrian national coalition and you are in the stream.
1:22 pm
thousands of children who once lived in i still controlled territory of being held in prisons and refugee camps across eastern syria iraq and libya some were captured fleeing i saw with their mothers while many others old friends all were born to foreign parents house full of countries including kosovo russia and kazakhstan have taken action to repatriate minus security analysts have suggested the issue is a political landmine warning of the potential for radicalization if these children are repeat treated carelessly rights groups so see the children have experienced significant trauma and should not be used as political pawns or punished for circumstances beyond their control relief agencies have also raised concerns about the number of children in these camps who are severely ill noting that local health care facilities are ill equipped to handle the number of patients who need urgent care joining us now with some insight into the debate in sweden dr niemann 40 is
1:23 pm
founder of joint help for kurdistan that's an organization working to help conflict afflicted people she's also a volunteer in the al hole camp in eastern syria in london in the u.k. gina valois is a research fellow at the international center for the study of radicalization. at king's college london also in london. is a lawyer who specializes in cases involving repatriation or for what i saw members over but it's good to have you here you have all had experience of what it is like to go to some of these camps where children among others are after they have been part of the islamic state and they're there and they can't get back to perhaps the original countries and they're going to go for all of you and see what is that experience like what kind of conditions are these youngsters these babies living in . i'd like you to start dr before we can can you give us pages a picture describe the scene in one of the kind that you go to regularly sure. like
1:24 pm
to start actually not use any more. room are there because they are not marked or they are. you know. right. but a little problem in the way that this whole county is and these monsters they are really not mothers anymore and you know we. also isis we have started an era where we cannot anymore say women and children are the most effective. victims of the war because i says women have shown that they are not any more mothers they are not any more women and they are just as monsters as those men who have started the kelly thought it was so but at the same time you have to take
1:25 pm
care of the children and this is what i've been arguing both. sweden and norway we cannot anymore have the you know the christian mosque on our places to say that children is the best for children to grow up and to be taken care of by their parents or the close it right ok because they are not any more current children should be separated from the preachers who are living in a whole camp i mean and i may be mistaken and you have the apparently what you think about the parents of the children so you are concerned about that mental well being as being the conditions that children are actually i have been born and all the living in them experiencing right now because then i should action full what should be done most of those can go ahead. sure so if we look at the world health organization reported around concerns to the children particularly hold. back in
1:26 pm
january 2000 to 2019. a press release was sent out by them with serious concern around the ability for those comes to look after children with very very basic issues to food. sanitation not appeased. medication meaning there was not really very much of a hospital presence so that's generally $2000.00 a month and that was roughly when our whole. 29 to 30 something 1000. dennis's fooldom to february and we had the deaths of 29 children really i'll hold by that stage again world health organization raising serious concerns. up in march and then through to may we have about the same time which was stretched with resources in general is now with 80 samples in. the
1:27 pm
number of children that recalled the dead i'll hole alone was a 100 and isolation figures and so given the it was. sort of the capacity that it was it was already overstretched one can only imagine . what we're thinking about really with respect to the children now the food supply has always been somewhat strained medical supply that is almost nonexistent any very serious cases have to be taken less. interest you hear stories i should really interest me here because this is the thing the planning i don't know what they have planned before starting bazemore but i have i saw how they were planning before. her ration and put in months and months you know sitting in the meeting and they were planning for that w.h.o. on you and or to all those 30 where you know responsible for planning what to
1:28 pm
do before starting the last attack. and you know the break you bought was they should have planted much business 1st of all they should have not account behind a village whole village which is full of the remnants. to make it even more difficult for his. but if they can they should have not given all. i people you know before the new year and there were only 1800 people in the now we are talking about 7000 people and then you an order for your throat saying we don't have any control well. learning this will only mark the. week we'll obviously do that we dream of this and this is critical it's really important to understand why the caps look like they do as he was talking about a whole let me show you what our whole looks like here i've got a number of pictures you can just see and gina as we go through these pages the
1:29 pm
thought clarity that i want is is this a place for kids to grow up. just think test doesn't let me just begin again if i may then then we can go back you go ahead gina. no of course not not only are many of these children lacking official documentation because they were either born under islamic state rule or they are lacking official documentation after liberation which then bars them potentially from accessing health care accessing education within the camps and beyond that will say lacking shortages in water in food in sanitation and supplies so this is not the place to raise children in any circumstance let alone in a circumstance where there are children. where there are also dash supporters now it's a contentious issue as to whether the right policy is to separate children from
1:30 pm
their parents whether that be the mother or father who was once affiliated with dash this is something that is still up for debate and is very contentious issue what's also important to understand and as a new mom actually alluded to is the issue of when many is edis were liberated some of them were taken to a whole camp before their family members were able to collect them and liberate them from these camps this means that sometimes you see the women were in the same space and same location as some of their captors or at least the family members of affiliates this is not a situation that only i get to. because they gave their right to i you know. they were calling because basically my right rear ended up in a car by the beginning of their right to have children. for the kids who are under that or going without because you employ everybody there that the
1:31 pm
basic and i like that they have a culture that they believe they should go by and we have been finding you know even boys going. because. courting them and the way that you in terms of the issue if you can. leave the bottle and they brought you to hold all the partying women they have organized and even poor women and. where they're among don't like 100 you know we have a new and shining there in print preview and you know for 2 weeks ago we were liberated 13 years although. she was carrying her one up or baby and she was pregnant 2 months you know had these happen in
1:32 pm
our goal in front of you and qualifying and the rest of the war and i am certain now that i think everybody even there right there were children who live in hope of being killed and you know as. a doctor before you actually want to get in there because you're enjoying your mentoring an important question that i believe our online community has a question about as well so dr before you just pause for a moment because you mentioned the z. children i want to share with you this tweet that circulating on line radio and writes i often wonder what reasons create international sympathy and outrage over crimes against humanity including women and children young going plight of women and their children from war crimes seems not to be striking a chord and what they're referencing is reports that have come out that. mothers who were freed by isis or ice now face a very hard choice and it is whether or not they want to return to their families
1:33 pm
in iraq or give up their children because the children born of rape often cannot come home here's what one of our community members has to say about that this is someone on twitter who says if these kids are not a part of the commune. where do they belong are they to be thrown in waste bins what dr before to your thoughts on that. well i always say it's very easy to attack . these questions should not be put to what is easy before everyone else you have to put the question to iraqi government and. law in iraq by paragraph 6 a so everyone born by name the child so when you ask them i think the thing no but when prudie is easy women come back with her child then he or she is there and also by far be it say that you can be converted for any other religion who are. around in
1:34 pm
so i don't question to the weakest who are just diseases and they don't have any voice and they don't have any right. to government who sees the born of the iraqi government to have been you know healing minorities in the region before anything else they have to change the law then you can. keeping the babies or not ok minutes i don't remember because the same much you want to get to i want to bring back ties meaning to the conversation doesn't mean you became extremely well known because you represent the family of a young lady called shamim a beggar i'm going to discuss one of the headlines as an old headline but just to remind people it is a story in hand about you trying to get to the camp to actually see your client and being pushed back says the young lady concerned tell her about tell us about her story and to be in the story that is relevant to this question about what should happen to the children of isometric. what it really comes down to is this is every
1:35 pm
human being malicious. to be availed of some sort of citizenship and the question becomes with citizenship which country. for the children and the citizens. when they find themselves in a conflict zone and indeed in rebel territory so would respect as a 15 year old child she was groomed and struck out in 2015 to syria very quickly she was married quote unquote. the question of marriages is a lie one because she was married to a dutch national. and technically was statutory rape in the u.k. law and in dutch law. she spent 4 years there quote unquote husband is in custody she had 3 children 2 of them died before she reached all come and she was pregnant with her 3rd she was she gave birth to
1:36 pm
a child and then she was subsequently stripped to citizenship now the issue of the using the women and everyone really who is out in. and in syria the question of who the fathers of these children are live because if they are if their fathers are from european countries then those children also have europe in citizenship and the countries where their parents come from need to step up and take responsibility for these children because the kurds or the kurdish rebel forces are in no position whatsoever to to even manage the numbers that are out there let alone give the basic human rights that these children deserve food shelter clothing the right to life people. because they're not they're not being supported so what should happen to the camps because that's a very very clearly because there was a big debate happening and actually mad her little boy you can see them both here
1:37 pm
and before he die and then the debate was happening where we were single his family was ready to tell him that in aquatic absolutely so the issue there was that there was no real debate about the child. even subject except to the child was a british citizen and so the question was one of practicality how do you get a child who's days old in a refugee come back over to the u.k. . where the trouble documents how do you arrange those how do you prove through d.n.a. testing given that the child or the mother are in a refugee camp how do you get those d.n.a. says to them to satisfy the conditions required for a trouble up to. now there are administrative hurdles around all those administrative hurdles have been thrown out by the u.k. government so that even though technically the child was accepted as british in practical terms that child was languishing. in
1:38 pm
a refugee camp regardless of what the legal status for this is what the question was yes go ahead you want to also question me more i would like to ask a question actually because since you know it has been c. the isis children and we are talking about children should not be in a war zone i have a simple question for you your government u.k. government do you support being. out of the gun and the terrorist acts of the country who are killing people opining other countries and every day people are smuggled out of was counting on what's a question go ahead with a question i know my question is that i'm coming to my question the of the children a woman tempted to put a mosque to be sold so do you really trust your country with these kind of you know my girls that they could rehabilitate people like me who have you know
1:39 pm
being one of them on my day i can the question is also because of rapidly running out of time on the show that i want to get to know back in the community get back can pass and feel that medical. if you trust in u.k. government can take rehabilitate. i don't trust the government. acted in bad faith when it comes to. it's not for a government to rehabilitate individuals as the 1st port of call it's the families it's the people that love and care for them that will take them back in and attempt to reintegrate them back a 1st into the firm and then be into the wider community now the u.k. government has spoken about its prevent strategically i was ability to push back point if we can really sorry to interrupt on that go. yes i think that a family can play a role in the rehabilitation of someone that joined an extremist organization or a terrorist group like islamic state but if we start to put the burden all of this
1:40 pm
in this responsibility on families this then securitize is the family space there have been many articles and much research done on the role of mothers in the radicalizing all increasing resilience of against radicalism of their children now if that and fails and a mother fails to prevent her child either traveling to a war zone or sees or becoming increasingly radical in that ideas or inactions potentially how does that and then following that matter all the far there which will not matter because again. so to speak comes from going on separate sort of the if. we have 3 children what from the other they are not the mother more and that's what you have and the 2nd you think here in so that is. your point there and i think i think it will resonate with a lot of people and i wrote it down because i'm so striking what you said no these
1:41 pm
are not mothers they are monsters and so i hear your point but i want to bring in this perspective this is 90 days on twitter who says i saw can brainwash a full grown person into believing their. doctrine so can any government rehabilitate the children of these mothers people that some of whom you referred to as well. i take your point but i want to push on towards then what to do about the children as this person is asking in the tweet we have a video comment from someone who picks up on that point she talks to us about what is next for many of these children she's a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations and here's what she told the string when it comes to their children they did not choose to join isis many were born in the caliphate brought there before they were even school age and they should now not be forced to pay for the sins of their parents they should be brought back to their countries of origin government should monitor them along with
1:42 pm
their mothers and determine who may pose a security threat who should be prosecuted it's what's best for justice and in fact for our national security but it will also ensure that the children who did not choose to join isis have a chance at a better future and have access to education and health care that is their right. so dean alter i got radio gardena. and what we need to remember is there are different categories of children as far as research with myself and my colleague up to join a kirk yes i found the youngest miner to travel unaccompanied to iraq and syria to join dash was 15 years old so teen and teenagers may have had similar or the same reasons and motivations for joining dash as an adult we have to understand that they have had agency in their decisions begun being one of them she did not travel the company of an adult whether that's a parent or guardian however they are still children and we have
1:43 pm
