inside the back of this lorry in the midst of the trying to work out the men exactly who these people were and lauren's we had from promise to bias johnson on wednesday he called us and unimaginable tragedy even though we have seen something like this before in europe so what does all of this tell us about the state of refugee resettlement in europe. in britain everyone's heavily focused on it because it happened in britain but you know there's been over a 1000 people have died in the mediterranean so far this year and much of it has gone completely unreported the fact of the matter is that the criminal gangs wouldn't be able to do this sort of thing in the way that they do they're very violent they they're heavily armed a lot of them as well at least the ones are meant. that the reason why they can do it is because the european union is entirely intent on keeping people out while maintaining that that it supports people's human rights the last policy i can remember seeing from the european union about all this was when the austrians were in charge of the of the european union of the presidency and they were suggesting

asking egypt to hold people so they couldn't come over the of the mediterranean even today in the european parliament in strasburg a resolution to try to offer better search and rescue supports in the mediterranean was defeated because the sensor writes itself with a hard right to defeat that by 2 votes and so frankly every time a european country throws people out it's breaking the law because these people have the rights of their asylum claim herds and you know that's that's the reason why criminal gangs do so well lawrence thank you for that lansley with the latest live in london thank you. still ahead on the bulletin the remains of spain's general franco a move after years of controversy on the waves ferry and why more than a dozen people have been sentenced to death in bangladesh over a murder that triggered nationwide protests.

i'm similar call spots around the neighborhood strange playing for the rubbish always clicking sounds on the phone and i chill home visits from federal agents it was the made in 1990 s. and these signs told the british illinois community that something wasn't quite right a newly released documentary called the feeling of being watched suds light on what they feared all along that the federal bureau of investigations had been spying on them for years take a look at the camera go we are right there. in the moment to thank those people that are just. past the band. wagon and we. the. brit hume ah scooters have been under surveillance for years. since august of 9099 i've been working to legally expose the very real conspiracy

of a middle 'd eastern terrorists to american citizens 'd at home and abroad the successful investigation which was. the trail. trail. i want to find out everywhere that our name is on a list. and i need. a few weeks so if the f.b.i. has a fine really. well joining us to discuss this documentary is its director filmmaker arceo and our we she is based in los angeles but speaks to us today from our hometown in bridgeview illinois where both she and i grew up together also with us we have

a love for our senior staff attorney at the center for constitutional rights in new york. on a lawsuit to compel the government to hand over f.b.i. surveillance documents of the movement for black lives and finally coming to the founder and president of the muslim wellness foundation that's a nonprofit focused on the mental health of american muslim communities can you lead joins us from philadelphia pennsylvania we also reached out to the f.b.i. to be part of this program to send us a comment that comment wells no comment when you start i want to start with the community people online tweeting about this after getting a chance to see it streaming here in the u.s. at least this is a tweet from someone who's handle is no child for the f.b.i. several people are turning their heads that way and will discuss why in a minute but they write this documentary shed light on a pervasive yet almost invisible manifestation of every day islamophobia and i am grateful for aasiya who are validating our experiences r.c.i.

of course i will give this one to you because i feel similarly it's the community that you and i grew up in since kindergarten 1st grade and it was a secret but it was one we all knew about talk to us about the impetus for you and why you wanted to be the person to uncover what this was. yeah like you say we grew up in a neighborhood where the vans and unmarked cars parked down the street when our parents warning us not to talk to strangers in suits and it was an open secret with something we all knew about we knew that we were under surveillance it was something we rarely talked openly about we rarely talked about outside of whispers and. it's something that i experienced and i thought was normal for such a long time in fact until i went off to college and realized oh most americans actually don't grow up this way this is a unique experience to growing up muslim in america you know i worked as a radio journalist for a long time and at

a certain point 6 years ago i decided i really want to get to the bottom of what really happened in our neighborhood you know we live with so much paranoia with so much which is actually in effect of all the valence i wanted almost to check boxes off like this happened this didn't happen true false and so i started digging into it and investigating and when i found out with so much bigger than anything we. had had expected or ever thought actually happened a lot of people could be watching this and thinking oh but you know september the 11th that was the impetus for the f.b.i. to salt looking at communities pull this happened before september 11th and also the f.b.i. would be looking into particular communities in many many decades can you help us understand that a little bit more fly internationally what are they doing and i think i think the reality is that the point of departure for this kind of conversation is really this notion of predictive policing and so in any time of crisis in this nation real

crisis or imagined crisis law enforcement tends to default from. investigating criminal activity after it's happened to this notion that somehow we can predict and intervene in advance and i think we need to start doing the work of collapsing that notion with with races and islamophobia and targeting because invariably it's historically destroy. communities that end up being targeted of those circumstances under a crude really really a crude kind of stereotypical notion that you can make determinations about individuals behavior based on their fundamental identity and so my experience representing people who've been targeted like this is that not only does it infringe on civil liberties not only does it tear communities of our but it really attacks basic fundamental human dignity and that's really the radical part of what his film is done is to tease out the lived experience of folks who've been target this goes back to the early to the founding of this country can be as seen not saying that the f.b.i. will they will have a take home why they went into this particular community and they will say this is

why we did it i want to play a little comment from them in just a moment but from your perspective what do you think is the reason why the f.b.i. would go into a community that has no history of terrorism and then start to look for it. well i think you know the reason why i'm nodding is because the government always needs a convenient villain and in order to sustain some narratives about communities of color about american muslims they need to sort of manufacture reasons why this is something that will protect national security and because so many americans cling to this myth of meritocracy of the partiality it sort of lends itself to this notion that well of course if the government is looking into a certain community it must have its reasons and i think sometimes even as the community that's being targeted we also begin to believe that like well if we haven't done anything wrong right that we have nothing to hide and that the

american government has our best interests at heart and so i you know i kind of chuckle to myself because you know as a muslim as a descendant of enslaved africans i feel like this intersection of identities really kind of limbs itself to. always sort of keeping a skeptical eye on the government and sort of always questioning the narrative the public narrative that's being disseminated because we often find that it's false so what is that about because we got this tweet from someone who watches the stream very often so it's really about the topics that we cover and the issues that many communities face but they wrote this this is anthony who says i'm going to go out on a crazy limb here and say the f.b.i. had good reasons to put resources into the surveillance and race didn't come into the equation at all. i mean everyone's laughing at us it looks like you want to take this on 1st go ahead for it i mean i'll jump in and just like back off what dr rashad was saying this idea that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to

worry about is a claim that we came across a lot even in our own community and ridge view people really felt that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about and the entire premise of this statement is false because it is based on the side. yeah the innocence matters and it doesn't based on your you know racial profile be fun your last name be fun your religion even if you have nothing to hide you have a hell of a lot to worry about so. yeah don't we know that like. if i can i there's another problem with that which is that even if you have nothing to hide the cost of of being targeted by the surveillance state is immense and so i was so the center for constitutional rights represented the muslim community in new jersey following the n.y.p.d. is blanket surveillance program after $911.00 and not a single lead was produced despite thousands of man hours and immense resources put behind that program but the experience of our clients is is really of being utterly

demeaned having their every aspect of their life no matter how quotidian no matter how normal subject to scrutiny one of our clients operated a school for muslim girls out of the basement of her home the n.y.p.d. was there writing down the the students who went in their ethnic makeup and to suggest that that doesn't impose tremendous cost on individuals trying to live their lives is. it i mean this is really i think the beauty of the film it forces the confront what it means to to have the state turn its power on you in this way let's have a look a little clip from the film because i know you have all watched if i want to have a similar i wouldn't know how what state what the former u.s. attorney. and to sit down and to talk about why. the operation they focused trial

why it was even why even existed and this is what he has to have a look. do you think that this long investigation was justified. if there are had been crimes uncovered oll or crimes prosecuted that would have been justified here are you trying to say you think the investigation you know was as a result of islamic phobia or prejudice. susan i do not think that certainly was not my world view certainly certainly is not. and had i ever thought that that was what was happening i would have not been part of it because that is not obviously who i am maybe not so obvious but it is annoying. i mean it if it's

a bigger question which it is or is are islamic phobia in this country of course there is yours or it's really f.b.i. well i guess. what he could say he just didn't say he could clearly and he was comfortable asking. yeah i mean it's so interesting on camera that he's really having a somatic response and this moment to the discomfort of knowing something and hiding it and also yeah not being forthright about something so much we saw it was you know like things are kind of coming out of it yes yes really coming out of his chest pretty incredible thing to capture on camera actually when you know someone's not telling the truth in their words but another truth is coming out in their body and there's so much. i think the other the other problem here is that he said if there had been crimes covered that would have been justified and the question becomes well what if your crime is your identity what if your crime is that you are

now complicating this american narrative of color blindness the fairness of justice regardless of race and religion and the fact is. part of the consequence or perhaps the goal of this type of surveillance is to continue to isolate communities and keep them outside of what is deemed american and so even if we think about well what happens to a community the psychological impact ultimately the impact becomes disconnection it becomes lack of cohesion lack of safety i mean these are fundamental human rights for safety and if you believe and there is evidence that proves you are not safe in your own home right just imagine how destabilizing and how distressing that becomes on a daily basis and you know it really begs the question what if that is the goal is to continue to keep us so destabilize that we cannot organize that we cannot really

think about how to come together and address sort of the disparities and how citizenship is conceived up in this country and so i think there's something very orwellian about you know even this idea that you know perhaps this is this is an isolated incident perhaps this is just sort of you know almost almost the canta like a conspiracy theory and it is so common if you know the history of america that i think that we need to do a better job of one speaking about the impact and the pain that it causes and the long lasting affects of this type of surveillance seaman's that is so common our problem i want to bring the senate i'll give it to you because miller mentioned that this is so common given our history the history of this country and so it brought us to this tweet just just tweet a couple minutes ago she writes let's remember that the f.b.i. also had surveillance on martin luther king jr it's almost like they want to say that we as people of color can't be trusted so this idea of not being trusted leads me to this tweet that i want to give you all of our precious have and says i agree

with the analysis that about paranoia it's definitely cause to provoke fear and for what something that wasn't even there so this idea paranoia can you talk about what that's like when you know it's you're not being paranoid these are things that are actually happening but the psychological impact on you in your community causes this kind of feeling. yeah i think that's where we started this discussion i think you know one of the less addressed and part of this experience that we don't reckon with is is really the kind of psychological trauma that the community is that that i represent that us here has as. pages such a beautiful picture of her film go through so the experience for so many muslims when these kinds of programs are revealed is not it's not shock it's just the kind of validation and assurance that comes from recognizing that you're not actually crazy for seeing the things that you see and feel in the way that you feel about it

but it certainly does create a level of paranoia that i think. you know people should not take take lightly if the experience for so many people of color for example muslim community members when dealing with other members of their community is one of fear because they don't know whether or not proximity to that person brings them within the sweep of a terror. surveillance program or because as as again as we uncover in some of our litigation law enforcement agencies are in the practice of putting individuals in mosques for the specific purpose of striking up pretextual conversations to suss out people's political opinions then you really start to tear at the fiber of what holds a community together a life and i'd like to help you what kind of a brief explain to people what we're doing in terms of well i suppose because you don't have to like ask you don't have to just take the surveillance that always to actually push back with something that is the freedom of information at you while using one order to push back against some of the surveillance the last one has been

doing can you explain that despite briefly so we understand that in a bigger context sure you know i think some point to recognize that there are legal tools out there in. sort of impose to turn the gaze back on the government and force them to reveal some of the things that they're doing but the purpose of that let's be really clear the purpose of that is the arm activists and organize. there is and people who are trying to build power in communities to resist the law is not the answer to these things right so but one of these that comes out of the freedom of information act process and the center for constitutional rights has an open records project that does this is to help people understand that here's the way the government actually is is operating in your communities and you need to know that so that you can ask the right questions protect activists that are are out there taking on immense risk to to raise an indispensable voice in support of justice and and dignity so there are some legal tools but but really it's the work of the organizers and activists and then the cultural workers like like us in this

instance that moments in the film the truly scary you take us for what it's like to be in your community and just having conversations and your mom was talking about is there a bug underneath the table in the end that could be a speed bump that was just put outside if you have actually outside the house and you're thinking i know they put that there for a reason at some times we don't know as of us whether you have power in order whether there was something absolutely happening but that all times when we know for certain that people are trying to scam people pain the f.b.i. have a look at this everybody. someone must. go i did not go out in the bucket in this. getting to get the company to go to the aisle but i'm getting between me.

and i'm on. i want what happened. to me you know marty my god. and i'm a 50 cent to mean you don't ask him who are you. want. i'm on. ok i just took a picture i'm sending it to your whatsapp look at it look at it and tell me if that's him i mean this picture is about maybe for 12 years old. oh my god you're gonna say they did. a little glimpse of what it is like to live in the bush faith community and that isn't going back to the ninety's that was just recently making west with. clips like that makes you understand why there is suspicion and mistrust and that is what's represented in the video comment we got from hamas on a man who talks about a problem when it comes to authorities and muslim american communities have a listen i think one of the main reasons that the muslim community has such

suspicion when dealing with government agencies is because since 911 while the government has systematically cracked down on our civil liberties and civil rights it has used suppose that partners and representatives and leaders from the community against the community and in the process circumvented the actual chosen leadership of the community that voice our authentic concerns and so if the government wants to have an authentic relationship with the community it needs to deal with our chosen leaders and respond to our actual local concerns. so i see when it comes to having that authentic relationship i'll bring up the term that i brought up at the beginning of the show no child for f.b.i. how do you go about having that authentic relationship and explain what that handle means yeah i think so no child for f.b.i. . it's actually a line from the film one of the amazing young people in our community came to one of our town halls and said it and she stood up in

a town hall and said this and she meant when the f.b.i. come to your door you don't have to open the door and let them in and serve them tea and prove to them that you're a good american citizen and look i've got nothing to hide that this idea of you know respectability politics this idea of presenting ourselves as good american citizens and that is what will keep us safe from these types of profiling and investigations is actually a fallacy and that's what that notion i for of the i stands for and you know it's also this idea you know there's a lot of pushback in our community also that like we can't be letting the f.b.i. in through the front door of the mosque while they're still sneaking in through the backdoor that you know our engagement with law enforcement as a muslim community cannot be won rooted in this idea of respect to realty politics which so that you know if you have a seat at the table that's alright let me show you audience some of the community i'll come like to really want to you will i do about healing but i want to show our audience something 1st of all these are the kind of groups that have been

surveilled by the f.b.i. since 2010 many more than this but let me show you here black activists muslim americans palestinian sympathises of polish ice protest as occupy wall street protest this environmentalist republican national convention protest this whole all coming under the watchful eye of the f.b.i. when you all watched this intently and intensely how do you manage one of the coping strategies how do you heal as a community or as a group. well one thing that i really am hoping that we can time to do together as a community is come up with a better term than paranoia and you know i've been thinking about this idea of almost like a justified resilient almost clairvoyant knowing and so it's that intuition that has contributed to our ability to survive and to thrive even in the midst of heavy surveillance and monitor to for decades and so i think there's so much stigma

attached to the word paranoia or even suspicion when so many of the activities that we are experiencing are invisible to those who may not have this kind of awareness or history and so i think you know to talk about what is our justified knowing right how are we able to assess our environment and really able to determine what is going to be harmful for us and part of the healing process is this acknowledgment and this affirmation that what we have experienced over the decades one is painful it's hurtful it is in and of itself a betrayal of what it means to be an american citizen or to be a human being citizenship aside and so when you are constantly as a community under this kind of monitoring and suspicion and targeting and marginalization it's very overtly and implicitly shifts the way you interact with the world and with each other and if if our strength our greatest strength is our

community bonds this surveillance really serves to disrupt and to fray and to have those bonds disintegrate to the point where we're immobilized and so the healing process you know in my view is to come together and you know what would it what would it mean for communities of american muslims and for those who are sympathetic to the palestinian cause and environmental activist to cop the other in one room and to say how i'm feeling about this well you know all of the legal absolutely new . is that it might be to push act but work hard. for us to be able to address the underlying issue you know merely your connection is breaking up a little bit better but i think your permanent point came across in the idea of healing and what to do to go about that i want to endure conversation with this comment from a former f.b.i. agent who reached out to the stream this is my german who says too often in our history the government has used the interest of national security to justify

undermining security the truth is that one community has rights are violated not of our rights are secure thank you or if i guess that can my laptop you can see the feeling of being watched on p.b.s. if you're in the united states i don't witness on al-jazeera like small one so watching everybody take a. all i want to stay with most outstanding my wife the rest internment and mass indoctrination all we got children are now in a process of reeducation or chinese assimilation forced labor and the use of high tech surveillance we're being complicit in the human rights abuses that are occurring in australian investigation into china's systematic repression of the weakest tell the world on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera. where every. every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories joined the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media when the entire service is control much of egyptian media it becomes an extension of the arm of the president and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most getting an accurate informative story out of there is not easy they pose it too late we already have the information they're listening post on al-jazeera. when the news breaks. when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told of the fall out from the pov of what exclusive interviews you think that was a mistake and in-depth reports take you on the environmental and climate crisis but

many fronts not least better be honest al jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more rewarding documentaries and live news. this is al-jazeera. this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. president promises a crackdown on corruption but says the government can't be toppled by protests police say the food bodies found in

a truck in england were chinese nationals. declaring himself the winner bolivia's evo morales says there's no need for a runoff despite opposition allegations he manipulated photos to. the red cross warns of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe at an overcrowded migrant camp in bosnia. and i'm real hard with sports as the man in charge of world football dismissed concerns over human rights after china are named hosts of the new club world cup. lebanon's president michel aoun has vowed to fight corruption in an address to the nation he says he's open to constructive dialogue but his speeches left protesters unsatisfied with many resuming their calls for political reform hundreds of thousands of people have demanded the government stand down during more than a week of protests mashallah she i am not saying just to avoid

responsibility at the end of the day i am doing come but president i have left no stone unturned to achieve reforms and make progress in lebanon. obstacles are high and numerous personal gains are prevailing and many parties turned a blind eye to the people and their voices those politicians saw that they could do whatever they wish and the people would remain silent so i know holder has more now from. the president presenting the solution to the crisis which really falls short . of the protesters michel aoun saying that he's promising to fight corruption he's called on representatives of the protest movement to engage in dialogue with them to come to the presidential palace and discuss things but protesters here say this is no longer enough we do not trust the politicians in power we want the government to resign we want a new government that is made up of technocrats who are not affiliated with any

political party simply because the ruling elite have been in power for so many years and we've heard promises like this before so there is a stalemate both sides are not budging protesters are promising to keep up the momentum to keep. keep coming to the squares and hold demonstrations as well as blocking roads blocking roads really puts the country. at a standstill putting pressure on the government schools universities they remain closed this protest movement is now in its 2nd week the army has so far. they're not forcibly opening roads and if the army doesn't take action it's not clear what the government can do but what is a dangerous sign is that more and more we are seeing counter protest loyalists people who are allied or supporters of the political parties in power they have started to take to the streets so far spontaneous demonstrations limited in numbers but if those political parties decide to take to the streets there's

a danger of confrontation so the message of the governing alliance is you want change it will only happen at the ballot box at the appointed time. so in the heart of the 2nd largest city have. tripoli has traditionally stood behind prime minister saad hariri but anger against the government has swelled there too when people have taken to the streets cutting across sectarian divides stephanie decker is there for a week now thousands of come out into the square in tripoli to join the chorus of voices across the country calling for their government to go. it's all eyes were on beirut a few nights ago this video close you don't mind when viral don'ts music lately jubilant crowds many 1st thought this was the route when it was actually here in tripoli the city many see is far more conservative. i didn't plan for this i didn't plan for this i was like all the people i was going to fight all the people. we met

up with the man behind the music he says he played it spontaneously didn't expect this kind of reaction all the people all of the old love each other in need there is the. kitchen everything everything everyone everyone is here because there is no one on top of them the protests have mobilized the youth here a leaderless grassroots movement that has inspired many it was like a domino effect among the youth and sally says the protests have given her renewed hope i'll screw whether she thinks there are challenges ahead it's going to be difficult we are scared. and we are aware that. we are going to a bit of a chaotic period after this but. when you are aware. you're ready and when you're ready if this is the 1st half of succeeding. when you're scared you either go through things or you either withdraw or this gives your perseverance

to continue especially. when you got strong out of many disappointment tripoli's traditionally your support base for the prime minister sad how d.d. but the sunni majority city has been neglected it has some of the poorest areas in the country and. then would be said that we are defending the rights of all children in the rights of all citizens to live in a clean environment we are asking all those in power to resign and be held accountable financially all of them we will stay here until our demands meet the protesters come from a cross-section of society and that is what everyone is telling us is so important in a city that's been stigmatized due to a polish spillover of the syrian war when gun battles were fought out in the streets the people have come together against the ruling elite. they also want to change the sectarian system which they accuse politicians of exploiting in order to

keep people divided but there seems to be a stalemate now the government isn't standing down the people aren't leaving there are unpredictable times ahead stephanie decker of tripoli. well robert horry is a nonresident senior fellow at harvard's kennedy school he joins us now from boston it's nice to have you with us or his pool lends back a little bit on this protest and here's what we have here is the state of play you have a real generational shift here so many young people out on the streets cutting across all sectarian divides and this citing that something needs to change politically there is something rotten in the system can the country that they want be delivered in the political system i have. the answer is no and that's why they're out on the street but just to correct you it's not really a generational shift it's really become a class confrontation the majority of lebanese as the majority of all arabs are

poor marginalized vulnerable and increasingly alienated from their system not just their government system but their social systems and their country and about 3040 percent regularly say they want to emigrate they want to leave so it's really an issue of masses of people coming across all sectarian lines all ideological lines together asserting their humanity their agony and their citizenship and they're trying to do it in a way that can bring about the change that they've demanded for $34.00 decades now and has never come about because the oligarchic sectarian political elite that holds power at the top refuses to budge and the they fear that the. prime minister's offer and the president's speech only confirm that they just want to keep doing the same old stuff let's have a dialogue let's talk and the people on the street are saying we don't trust you we don't believe you you've had 30 years to do this you've only run the country into

the ground you've destroyed the environment you've wrecked our economic future so it's a very serious none front taishan but a peaceful one and a political one and then what what you've outlined there is is the classic dilemma isn't that it's the irresistible force of the protest in the movable object of the political elite we've heard from the prime minister we've heard from the president and yes there's some concession but essentially saying if you want change is not going to happen through protest so who gives here. well history in the middle east and all over the world told us that ultimately one the majority of citizens are disenchanted and desperate they will take to the streets and they will bring about change whether peacefully or forcefully we've seen several arab countries already make transitions tunisia is the most interesting the sudan is now a fascinating example and the critical element is the people who have military power how will they engage with the people on the street demanding

a peaceful transition that will actually help the military as well as help the population in lebanon you have a central government that is very sectarian but united and you have hezbollah which is a very powerful military force which is part of the government and supporting the president so you have a slightly different combination of elite forces in lebanon at work and the confrontation is there but the so far it's been largely peaceful the the most important thing going on now is that attempts by the power elite whether in sectarian groups in the south or or in the mountains of lebanon to break up the protests open the roads they have failed and the people have come back into the streets and much bigger numbers and more importantly you've got people in the north in tripoli supporting people in. in the south and the mountain subpoena chanting across the sectarian divides saying that we're all suffering from the system we've

got to change the system and they want to do it through elections technocratic transitional government a greater role for an independent judiciary and accountability mechanisms through independent respected individuals and citizen organizations it's very clear what people want is very reasonable and it's what all normal citizens should have and it's inevitable it will happen very delicately balanced to asia as you say and no sign those protests are listening at all the fact peter began even that i'm running for thank you so much for giving us the time. kurdish forces have withdrawn from some positions along the turkish border in northern syria it's part of an agreement between turkey and russia allowing moscow ankara and damascus to send in troops and target up the territories earlier on wednesday the us president ended sanctions on turkey saying ankara's offensive against kurdish forces is now over well there's been an explosion in one of the towns now under turkish control 4 civilians were injured it reportedly happened in tel main market near the headquarters of turkish

backed syrian rebels osama bin java joins us now live from a chuckle the near the turkish syrian border and some of just yesterday we were hearing from donald trump saying this cease fire is permanent lifting the sanctions we know there's the 150 hours that that russia and turkey have now imposed here but we're seeing that there is this violence as we've seen this explosion in tel aviv reports of a break in the cease fire what's the situation there in what is a very very fluid environment well stan even the u.s. president when you heard him last night speak about a permanent cease fire spoke with the caveat that in this part of the world permanent cease fire means different things to different people and that's what we're seeing on the ground what we've heard from kurdish sources is that syria.
