eisel at its height the armed group had a force of about $30000.00 fighters carrying out attacks around the world will most have been killed since all captured and the meeting is being held in washington d.c. to decide what to do with those prisoners and their families it's happening just weeks after u.s. president donald trump withdrew troops from syria raising concerns about his commitment to fighting i so what u.s. secretary of state mike on peo has urged coalition members to bring to justice suspected members of the armed group from their countries coalition members must take back the thousands of foreign terrorist fighters in custody and oppose accountability for the atrocities that they have perpetrated well turkey sending more suspected eisel fighters and their families back to their home countries 7 german citizens landed in berlin earlier on thursday and another 23 european nationals are expected to be deported in the coming days more than 1200 fighters
8:19 am
are in turkish prisons shortly we'll hear from dominic kane in berlin on that german repatriation but 1st roles in jordan reports from the washington meeting. one of the main issues about dealing with isis is what do you do with the people who came from other countries to fight for the caliphate there is a general agreement that these people if possible should be returned to their home countries but there are a few countries particularly in europe that don't want foreign fighters coming back to their territory they would rather that the countries where they have been living and fighting actually arrest them prosecute them and imprison them however u.s. officials say that's simply not a realistic ask the united states and a number of countries have taken the position that as a matter of coalition burden sharing each country has a responsibility to handle this situation on their own. our view is that it
8:20 am
is not a feasible option it is not a viable option to ask other countries in the region to imports another country's foreign fighters and pursue prosecution in incarceration there the ministers also recognize that part of the reason why i still was able to establish a caliphate so easily and so thoroughly was because of the ongoing civil war inside syria the ministers are agreeing that much more needs to be done to promote diplomatic efforts in keeping with the u.n. security council resolution 2254 and say that as long as they can keep focused on trying to end the civil war it will make it harder for eisel and for other such groups to try to reestablish themselves inside that war torn country. this is the 1st wave of returns by the turkish authorities of german citizens or german residents who have been in turkish custody people who have been decided upon by the
8:21 am
turkish authorities as being so dangerous that they can no longer stay on turkish soil and. yet for the german or for a t's the difficulty that they face is that on the face of it these specific 7 individuals have no charges against them they cannot be charged for any activities or their participation in any activities in the middle east under german law and as i say these people are then perceived to be innocent they can go about their own lives back in germany for the government there is the serious issue that many people in this country are opposed to the return of people who the turkish government have referred to in such disparaging terms but they must also a bay the law or the government just as much as these individuals it is polarizing opinion in this country and of course there are more people of the turkish government says it wants to return to germany. now
