it's currently nothing is happening so we've be feeding again hold it we feel that these are organized attacks on muslim business houses premises that are happening and we will ensure that it does not happen well it's quite interesting it remains tense in particularly here in the northwestern part of sri lanka which is where all of the attacks at the beginning of this week were censored censored and what the minister says he's quite interesting because it's you go to a lot of the villages here or to particularly sinhalese buddhist majority believe here and there is this sense of resentment against muslim communities muslim communities that live nearby and that resentment has been given an outlet really by the easter sunday attacks a sort of an excuse that some of the international screws have been looking for looking for perhaps to target muslim groups and when you speak to some of the buddhist villagers some of the in these small communities they'll say that the

muslims aren't integrating they'll say that they're not a normal part of sri lankan society and unfortunate this sort of view is quite common and i think the government fears that it's being given fuel by the nationalistic stream mistruths the us has placed china's tech giants weiwei and 70 of its affiliates on a trading blacklist weiwei is called the restrictions unreasonable and said they infringe on its rights the announcement came just minutes after president donald trump barred american firms from using telecom equipment made by companies that he says threaten national security adrian brown has more from tianjin. well what you see on display at this exhibition is in many ways at the heart of the current trade friction between china and the united states that friction is in areas such as artificial intelligence robotics and 5 g. technology behind me is walk away and of course they are very much the poster boy for 5 g. technology here in china but of course on thursday they were delivered

a blow to their plans to expand in china that said the executive order from president donald trump had been anticipated by the firm they issued a statement on thursday in a sense saying the transactions were not going to improve safety or security in the united states and that in many ways the real losers would be u.s. companies and consumers it's true that huawei wanted to expand in china but they had their eyes on other markets of course here in china but also southeast asia africa and of course latin america and in countries on those continents the governments have been less questioning in the trumpet ministration about how while way operates but of course what the united states has done could in many ways inflame trade tensions between washington and beijing and those tensions now very

much at the forefront still ahead on al jazeera. i saw men with guns they told me the job they'd called me for was to fight but here from kenyans who say they were tricked into fighting for the i'm group al-shabaab. the west sponsored by cattle las. carlo welcomes another look at the international forecast to see some rather lively storms it is central part so. of year up around the mediterranean even a little bit of snow of course for good measure over the higher ground must be said they were of low pressure swirling away here around south india facing some areas of if lead into the balkans and then. the showers some of them thundery into central and eastern pa still not too bad into western europe but you can see the cloud starting to spill its way in from the atlantic that western half of england

the eyes of the welts generally that's right out of a hamas group that calls for the an aisle ation of israel that is not what that phrase means at all he joined the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media focus on how valuable to turn the stories that matter the most to embed is a free palestine listening post on al-jazeera. well there we got the top stories on. billions have been killed and so do you eat coalition airstrikes on yemen's capital sanaa with the media say 2 military positions were targeted residential areas were also. talks between sudan's

opposition coalition and the military council have been suspended for 3 days because she actions are trying to decide it's. rather trying to decide who heads up a council that will oversee the transition. because government says hardline buddhist groups are under investigation over a recent wave of anti muslim attacks at least 31 people have appeared in court in connection with. iran's foreign minister says his country is exercising maximum restraint in the face of tightening u.s. sanctions and a military buildup a homage of odds a reef insists that his country is committed to the 2050 nuclear deal while in tokyo for talks with the japanese prime minister shinzo abi washington has ramped up its policy of maximum pressure on terror on over its nuclear program it's also deployed warships and b. $52.00 bombers to the gulf region meanwhile the leader of iran's revolutionary guard is warning of an imminent confrontation with the united states major general

hussein said he says the u.s. escalation in the region represented what he called a decisive moment for the islamic revolution. is joining us from ron and it sounds like things are heating up in iran what's new in the statements made by her saying . well the rhetoric is certainly getting more and more heated as the days go by we've been hearing from a chorus of iranian leaders and the phrasing they're using the words they're using are getting more and more combative as american pressure on iran grows exceedingly every day but the message largely remains the same these are the same policies that have been in place for a while major general hussein salome said that iran is on the verge of a full scale confrontation that is very very strong rhetoric very very scary words there from mr salami but the supreme leader already warned of

a possible war with the united states a few weeks ago so really reinforcing the same point coming from a military commander in iran he also said that america's behavior in the region is ostentatious and again the supreme leader in a speech a few days ago said that the uproar from the united states does raul just intimidation tactics discredit try to scare the iranian people but we can look at is part of his statement where he did seem to hint at some tactical concerns that the iranians might have he said that the enemy has come to the battlefield this time with all of its capacities at its disposal and that's really why we can assume he thinks that this is a very decisive moment for iran for the islamic revolution that iran carried out years ago that was his message and the reason is that we've seen build up of american firepower in the middle east before but this is one of the 1st times in recent memory that it is squarely aiming at iran and fears that things in iran's foreign minister also making the rounds to oil clients someone say he was in india

on monday japan on shoes they what's he been telling world leaders. exactly some of the people who've met he's met with in the past week are some of iran's biggest oil buyers traditionally they're the ones that had to stop buying oil after america let oil sanctions waivers expire not too long ago and his message to them was that in the long run they need to maintain diplomatic ties they need to maintain trading alliances and that this will hopefully be temporary that's what the iranian government has been hoping for that once the u.s. president donald trump is out of the white house that circumstances for their economic trade with regional partners can normalize once again he also said that iran despite the current pressure on it maintains its commitment to the nuclear deal his statement of course comes a day after the atomic energy organization of iran confirmed iran's non-cooperation had begun with parts of the nuclear deal as announced by iran's president hassan

rouhani about a week ago all right thank you meanwhile the russian president vladimir putin says he supports the landmark iran nuclear deal he says the u.s. will be responsible if it collapses if just but it will produce we didn't this is a limit we regret that the deals our position is known to all our partners including the americans we advocate the maintenance of the agreement after the signing of the agreement iran was and still is the world's most verifiable and transparent country in this american solution to go americans have withdrawn the deal is coming apart and the european countries can't do anything to save it and can't really cooperate with iran to compensate their economic losses but as soon as iran makes its 1st steps in responding announced its withdrawal everyone will need to be forget that it was the u.s. who initiated the collapse and everyone will end up playing it all on iran with the rights group amnesty international says it has evidence war crimes may have been committed in libya. the warlords has waged

news for you in less than 30 minutes time that's coming up after the street. just a few months after journalist jim on a special she was killed another arab dissident was under threat norwegian security officials had to take him from his home and also know to a secure location after a tip that the saudis were targeting him. human rights activist. challenges iraq. ok and your in the strain today how can the so-called children of the caliphate be helped by my legal 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 if you're coming to the you. best to get those cards and. syrian lawyer vice president of the

syrian national coalition and you are in the stream. 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 this while many others opens overboard to foreign parents a handful 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 repatriated 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 neiman guthrie is founder of joint help for kurdistan that's an organization working to help conflict afflicted people she's also a volunteer in the al whole camp in eastern syria in london in the u.k. gina velour 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 the repatriation of 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 regional 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 doctor 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 to actually not use anymore. because they are not marketed they are. you know. well no 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 killing fought wars so but at the same time you have to take 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 maybe would say that he had apparently when you think about the parents of the children so you are concerned about that mental well being having the conditions that children are actually i have been born and all the living in them experiencing right now because the should action full what should be done most of those camps tightening go ahead. sure so if we look at the world

health organization reported around concerns that the children particularly hold. back in generally 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 number of children that recorded 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 were thinking about really with respect to the children now the food supply has always been somewhat strained medical supplies as almost nonexistent any very serious cases have to be taken let. me interrupt you here story i should really interrupt to 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 do before starting their last attack. and you know leave for a few boxes they should have planted much business 1st of all they should have not account behind the village whole village which is full of the remnants. to make it even more difficult for his. but if they can't they should have not been all. i people you know before they knew little there were only 1800 people in the now we are talking about 7000 people and then you an order your thoughts saying we don't have any control well. learning this will only mark this. 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. mean 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 thought clarity that i want is is this a place for kids to grow up. test doesn't let me just begin again if i may then then we can come actually 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 in supplies so this is not the place to raise children in any circumstance let alone we're 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

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 it's very contentious issue what's also important to and 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 really i think attention off of because they gave the right who i . think they were calling because they think you are right rear up 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 is the basic and i like that they have a culture of this they really have been 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 you can leave the bottle and they want you to hold all the porting women they have organized and even poor women and. where they're among don't like 100 you know we have a new and shamed there in print preview and you know for 2 weeks ago we were liberated 13 years all the get out she was carrying her

one and all baby and she was pregnant 2 months you know had this happen in our goal in front of you and quality and the rest of the world and i'm sitting now that i think everybody even their right they were children who live in how most of these children you know as. a doctor before you actually want to get in there because you're going to bring your mentioning 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 you as easy children i want to share with you this tweet that's circulating online radio and writes i often wonder what reasons create international sympathy and outrage over crimes against humanity including women and children the ongoing 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 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 depends what dr foote of your thoughts i'm not. 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. low in iraq by paragraph 6 a so everyone born by listening.
