the children live in a shelter which i'm to provide not just a roof over the hades but a home for those who escaped abuse lived on the streets being trafficked or forced to work. brianna was just 10 years old when she was rescued while working as a maid she doesn't know where her parents are and says relaxes her egg to give it back if i sit in one place comfortably then i can paint and i can make so many new things from my imagination for many here provides an escape from experiences no child should have to go through. me but love sometimes when i get bored then i enjoy painting when i get angry drawing helps me to calm down. the are now artists are now not only more skilled they're more confident and in a society where they're often judged because of where they come from their work

territory the u.s. though says the drone was in international airspace. also protests and violence in the democratic republic of congo and it's feared a bowl and a measles outbreaks spread to neighboring countries. plus she jingping arrives in pyongyang it's the 1st visit by the leader of north korea's closest ally in 14 years. into the fray and we begin with breaking news coming out of the united kingdom a quarter's rule the government broke the law by allowing arms exports to saudi arabia might have been used in yemen's war the court's decision though does not mean the u.k. must immediately hold arms exports the u.k. has license nearly $6000000000.00 worth in arms to saudi arabia since they began bombing you. and in 2015 and that includes more than 3500000000 dollars in licenses

that cover military aircraft like the typhoon and tornado which is central to the saudi led coalition's campaign around 2400000000 dollars worth of licenses and precision guided bombs and missiles activists say bombs like the paveway 4 have been used against civilian targets between 20132017 the united kingdom accounted for 23 percent of saudi arabia's arms imports andrew smith is from the campaign against the arms trade the organization that brought the legal action. well we certainly welcome the judgment but it should never have taken a 4 year legal process brought on by campaigners to make the government follow its own arms export controls because in but tens of thousands of people have been killed and the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and hugh king made weapons and essential tools and back places you can use fighter jets in the u.k. made bombs have had a devastating impact on the case which we put to the court of appeal was

a very strong one the court of appeal has come down very strongly on our favor and to set a vitally important precedent as a result of this judgment the u.k. government has to do a review into how u.k. arms have been used and to take a view on how if saidee forces have violated international community to law and very devastating war in yemen the main result from today as if it can't be any new licenses awarded going forward for excess is happening this isn't just a legal question it's also a political one and we have to make sure that this judgment is not cast to one side 1st because much political pressure on the government to act as possible the court has done its job today it's time for the government to do is. indeed the barkers outside the court of appeals for a sin central london if the court has done its job today what will the government do that's the question isn't it nice. but we already know the british government

intends to appeal this decision not on the basis of the decisions to be made in terms of the rulings but on more procedural level we're expecting some kind of statement from the british government a little later on but as we've heard the campaigners are very pleased indeed this is being a reasonably long road for them it now means not that the british government needs to immediately suspend sales or the licensing of sales of weapons to saudi arabia but does going forward need to apply pressure the. did levels of scrutiny when it comes to the licensing of its weapons to saudi arabia on the basis that these weapons have been used in the theater of war where indiscriminate attacks on civilians have taken place so an important day for the campaign is most certainly how this moves forward given that an appeal is on the cards though is yet to be seen as a set of state from the government coming shortly indeed because you have the sort

of the legal side the court of appeal but then you have the court of legal action but then you have sort of the court of public opinion don't you need as well and in the light of this particular decision and we had of course the u.n. report revealed yesterday that implicates saudi arabia and then you've got u.s. lawmakers about to debate once again arms sales to saudi arabia in the light of the yemen war i mean the british government have to tread very carefully because the public are watching. you know the public are watching and i think it's fair to say that general opinion against exactly what these british made weapons being used for it is growing the level of public scrutiny is growing as well and as you said the british government has to be very very careful on how it trades going forward but it also has very lucrative business deals to protect as well we know that the british arms manufacturer be a nice systems 15 percent of its profits housings on sales to saudi

arabia we know that there is also a lucrative deal in the pipeline to sell typhoon jets to saudi how now that there will be this new level of scrutiny that the government needs to apply going forward how will that potentially but next major parts of the british economy it will be a delicate balancing act of course balancing the weight of public opinion which is very very eager for the government to take a tougher stance on weapons tails to saudi with also protecting important industries for this country indeed to the member we'll leave it there leave barca in london thank you. know the u.s. military drone has been shot down by iran's revolutionary guard and what it says is a clear message to washington but the 2 countries are disputing exactly where it happened the u.s. says a surface to air missile was fired at the drone in international airspace over the strait of hormuz it's believed the drone was being used for high altitude

surveillance but tehran says the incident took place within its territory the revolutionary guard soldiers intercepted the drone when it violated iranian airspace in profits the u.s. and iran also disagree on what type of drone it was iran's revolutionary guard was identified as an r.q. for global whole picture here but the u.s. says that it was actually this drone the m q 4 c. triton a more advanced version designed for by the u.s. navy has moved into iran. according to iran's revolutionary guards they say that this drone took off from a u.s. air base in the south of the persian gulf where it made its way towards iran now they say that this device allegedly turned off all detection devices while it was making its way towards iranian airspace and shortly after 4 am local time at 45 exactly the iranians shot this drone down now this comes as the head of iran's

revolutionary guard has been speaking at a scheduled events in western iran let's hear what he had to say i know you're joining. we don't want to engage in any war but we are fully prepared for war today's incident was a clear sign that we will protect old notice iran's borders are red line be careful we have experienced we have such a clear and message the drone had violated our borders. reaction has been coming in swift the spokesperson for iran's foreign ministry has said that this is an act of aggression and it will be noted and responded to accordingly we've also been hearing from a certain if you m.p.'s who said that they think this should go to the united nations that the iranians should complain to that governing body within the united nations and also it comes as tensions are high in this region the united states withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear agreement and really in stating some sanctions on

iran has had the iranian officials saying that they are waging economic terrorism on iran and the recent escalation of tensions in this region is that it as a direct result of those policies the syrian government strengths and killed at least told civilians in the adlib in hama provinces 3 children are amongst several rescue workers were injured in the attacks but this follows attacks on wednesday that killed at least 14 civilians the government has been bombing rebel positions in the northwest which the which is the last territory under opposition control. a major player in turkey's 2016 failed coup has been handed several life sentences along with several others identified as ring leaders former air force commander is among the 200 people who have been hearing their fate in court hundreds of military personnel unsuccessfully try to take control of the country but 250 people were killed and more than 2000 were injured. there's a correspondent in

a stumble for so with the very latest and some very heavy sentences here hashmi what more do we know about those who've been convicted in that sort of role in this failed coup attempt in 2016. so head 224 defendants appear of the trial today and this one of the most important trial since following the attempted coup into 1060 because of 2 key figures appearing before the judge took the former air force commander widely seen as the top leader in the attempted coup and early early as it's you who was a top military aide to a president. and they are they were facing charges of conspiring to overthrow the government seizing the army's headquarter plotting to assassinate president. of the heart of this explains why some of the sentences today wore the

have vs handed down by the court ever since 17 of the defendant received. 141 aggravated life sentences the government accusers. took and others of being the along with the cleric gooden who lives in self-imposed exile in the united states of america says 9099 of being the key figures in the coup in 2016 to overthrow a president but as of and this explains why the government is being really delicate in its attempt to ensure the justice most of those defendants are brought to justice the next upcoming trial is very important which is above the a congi base and the key defendant in this trial is also. who is facing charges of giving orders to fighter jets to take off from and drop bombs at the parliament here

didn't of course this really just sort of send a very important message both to those within the country and those outside of it. india the turkish ministry of justice issued a statement awhile ago saying that. the trials are an example of justice have their they comply with the constitution of turkey obviously you can see that they are trying to respond to some of the concerns voiced by the international human rights agencies and also by the european union about more transparency in the trials we're talking about 77000 people military personnel and public servers who were detained since 2016 and people are asking for more transparency when it comes to the trials before the government perspective it comes against the backdrop of the long strained relations between the uk party and the military we have to remind our viewers that the army in turkey consider these tell to be the guy.
