comics you don't advocate for greed i should use london i should do many terms this time having read my book guess how many men might not really look at us and maybe his son goes head to head we've done the same we have been accused of being crazy i'm not that crazy on i'll just see. chaos on the streets of the u.s. capitol protesters tear gassed and stun grenades fired in the streets around in the white house. down in jordan this is out is iraq live from also coming up. i am you're president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters bold words from the u.s. president though also threatening to deploy military police if protests across the

country don't stop. and then in an unprecedented move donald trump takes to the streets to survey the damage inflicted on the church during the protests. were disgusted and cannot normalize the pain not only on the entertainment industry calls for a blackout on a georgia florida. well it's been an unprecedented night in the united states as protests continue for a 7th day over the killing of an unarmed black man they were chaotic scenes outside the white house as police cleared protesters using tear gas and flash bang stun grenades at that exact moment in the white house gardens president trump threatened to deploy the military nationwide a mistake governor as get to the sometimes violent demonstrations under control. we

cannot allow the righteous cries of peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob. the biggest victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities and as their president i will fight to keep them safe i will fight to protect you i am you're president of law and order and an ally of all peaceful protesters but in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer and others and then surrounded by secret service agents the president took the very unusual step of walking out of the front gate of the white house making his way to a nearby church that have been damaged in sunday's protests well she had the chance he joins us live now from washington d.c.

she had you hearing us at all because you're live on air now but just saying that she had the optics were remarkable weren't they i mean just as the president was speaking at the rose garden we saw that and 2 riot measures taking place outside the white house you a caught up in it smoke tear gas stun grenades tell us what happened. it's clear now why suddenly the the police moved in with the usual online and sways of anyone in that area peacefully protesting would be caught up in the tear gas and the start of grenades as we were. the fascinating thing about it as you said he came over he had his photo opportunity he brandished his bible and then he asked members of his cabinet. to line up with him for a photo opportunity which i suppose will be used in some advert for the election perhaps or something else but it's interesting now because we're getting more reaction to what he did from authorities 1st of all let me read what they mayor of

d.c. has just tweeted i imposed a curfew at 7 pm a full 25 minutes before the curfew and without provocation federal police used munitions on peaceful protesters in front of the white house an act that will make the drop of d.c. police department offices more difficult shameful d.c. residents. the very angry we're also hearing from members of the white house press corps that they're hearing that president trunk was reportedly upset by the media reports about him into the white house bunker and that's why it when he ordered the part cleared for the photo opportunity those are just some media reports from members of the white house press. rather intriguing i suppose and then this is the most intriguing thing the bishop who's traction that is the right reverend. she's bishop of the episcopal diocese of washington she said she learned of trump's visit by watching it on the news quote i don't want president trying to speaking for syndromes i'm outraged i'm the bishop of the episcopal diocese of washington

and was not given even a courtesy call that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches up as a prop holding a bible one that declares that god is love and when everything he has done is doing . the not doing any good she said the church disassociates itself from the messages of the president we hold the teachings of our sacred text to be so grounding to our lives and everything we do and it's about love with our neighbor and sacrificial love and justice $0.03. she added that there was a dozen clergy of the church all day to support the protesters and they left when the curfew was cool so it's not going down well with the base but it hasn't gone down particular well with episcopal church in washington d.c. or the mayor and we're getting some insight into some of the thought process is if the white house press corps to be believed that led up to that that these these comments or these reports about donald trump in the bunker of the white house were

going down to well yes you have been and you are now still out on the streets i mean after the president made that dramatic unprecedented move of crossing lafayette square and heading over to st john's things seem to have quieted down just talk us through what's happening now and where you are. so there was there was a. about 2 dozen protesters who are still there still near the church they've been cancelled in and we understand that one by one they're being arrested interestingly this time around the police were careful to escort the media out during the protest the inauguration which i covered they didn't they just arrested the kettle devereux on their arrest everyone several journalists were. arrested for felony writing which took years in prison with all the charges thrown out of court eventually they seem to have learned a thing or 2 they let the media out which was also a bit because what's going to happen to the people who are left behind but we understand they're being they're being arrested right now about 2 dozen people the interesting thing was well we've been standing here we saw several dozen protesters

on 14th street and that's about 2 blocks further up 3 blocks from where we owe moving northwards now and i'm seeing on twitter that perhaps there are people still marching on 14th street about a mile a mile and a half away from us up north and that has happened in the last few nights of the protests then you tend to spread around the city we're not sure i mean it does seem to be a lot quieter clearly than it was last night around this time so i mean right now near the white house we're just getting sporadic reports of other protests perhaps moving up and others are and all the areas of washington d.c. . just a final thought i wanted to ask you about some of the sort of politics of the symbolism of what the president did earlier as you say he went over and held on to that bible in front of cent john's you know you said perhaps appealing to his base what what what did you take away from that in terms of the symbolism. he's he's defender of the face i mean he's basically saying that this is now

a religious war almost you suggesting i mean it's immoral between good and evil i don't know if that is not the implication i mean it's you know the semiology is dependent on these watching i suppose but i mean that would suggest a man brandishing a bible in front of a church having just tear gassed a bunch of peaceful protesters to get out the way when you tell me that you think was the symbolism i think it's pretty clear this is interesting because again we've heard there was a debate in the white house as to whether he should be more conciliatory he should be could be more unifying clearly that has just gone out the window and this is now about a line in the sound and donald trump calling the governor's earlier all of a week constantly threatening to bring the military on to the streets and saying that he's not going to put up with this anymore as far as we know he hasn't actually invoked the insurrection act yet which would mean that he would then be able to deploy more military into the streets but he certainly threatening it more and more is something that noise is making noises about it more and more and sometimes you wonder whether that's part of the point and whether whether he will actually go to such a step that we haven't seen since 93 in the rodney king the rodney king uprising in

los angeles but we'll have to see because it is also clearly a black mark on all the president's middle of the other but all of the other stupendous events that we've seen over the last couple of years now to be a president who brings the u.s. military into the streets of america. live for us in washington d.c. thank you for that all right let's leave washington now and head over to minneapolis john hendren is right there standing by john just talk us through 1st this private post-mortem carried out by the george floyd family they found that he died of asphyxiation but oddly not that differs from the preliminary official report by the county medical examiner doesn't. that your idea official report says that the police contributed to george floyd's death but it says he died of a heart attack and that he had preexisting conditions and the private report says in fact he. 's fixation and the police were directly responsible and that it was

a homicide but if i can bear and i'd like to just walk you around a little bit of the scene where we are because these day protests have been entirely peaceful this is the floyd this is the george floyd memorial over here that is the spot where he died and people have laid flowers there but it's a combination of kind of somber and festive all at the same time over here people are giving speeches that's what that loud that large crowd is over there and if we can move the camera over this way that you can see 6 food trucks and you can see the smoke from a barbecue that people are giving out food it's all free. there was over here a firearms instruction not long ago by a gentleman who wanted everyone to learn how to have a concealed weapons permit and as we move over here i want to introduce you to someone who is as a community organizer her name is naleo schlager dos santos can i get that right

and i just going to ask you a little bit about what brings people here and what the scene is yours so i know you why you're here i'm here because i'm from minneapolis and i grew up here and so my whole life here in atlanta for a little bit so i've seen policing. in other places still but specifically here right here fairness and justice are here to bring our community together and protect our needs. and how the people here feel about the police and about what happened to george floyd we the people are tired of being police because the idea of what we're seeing in this country has never been about our safety it's never been for the safety of people or i mean any way and i've been really playing the idea of what safety even means and to. the last few days we've been here my friends and i have been out here every day for the last week so we're tired. but we're

really really sick and tired of being sick and tired of the police so i think a lot of people don't really understand the difference between what happens here in the day in these protests and what happens after curfew the confrontations with police none of whom are here right now just describe that difference for me and what it's like when the police come in so it's really interesting to hear and see the media talk about where the police are because we've been out every night in the streets protecting our community and we see the military and i see them nowhere where there are no police officer this is completely peaceful but at night people have been coming from outside of the city outside of the state to terrorize our community and burn things down. we don't do that so the military presence at night is. everything compared to here right now but you're also on the bridge yesterday when the step from the highway they fired tear gas and that's rubber blood pressure and how scary was that that was frightening so we were on the highway when the

truck plowed through people to which was. our home. very upsetting their families there. and then the police rushed in and then they started shooting people and tear gas in people with rubber ball trying to get away if shooting people cover bullets and tear gas and people in the face which both of which both of those materials are also supposed to be aimed at the ground so in no way as must be aimed at people there into people's faces there blinding people and you can die that's lethal so all right i want to thank you and all you for talking to riyadh and you know this isn't always proven. but. we also heard from the brother of george floyd today he stood right over there any talk about what his brother would have wanted this is what he had to say. right out and out. probably. oh you're. not going to hear from him.

and i said. you know. you don't even know you. know i don't know i don't know. and i would not want to be doing. and i'm not a fan of people who want to. tonight will be another chance to who controls the streets of minneapolis for the 1st for 90 percent definitely the demonstrators and those people that i know you were talking about who set fires and looted stores they controlled much of downtown the police didn't even have enough control to come in and escort fire trucks or they could put those fires out in the past 2 nights or been 1700 national guard troops that's a 1000 more than there were prior to that and they shut the city down police came

in very aggressively i heard in ali it's on about a rubber bullets and the tear gas that they used to clear out the crowds and we are expecting that again tonight when the curfew moves 2 hours later from 8 pm which is a little after the time it is now means it's 10 pm so in a couple of hours that curfew will happen and we'll see a police crackdown as they have the past 2 nights. john hendren there in minneapolis john thank you for that all right let's head over to the west coast sadly because there's been a series of protests throughout the day in los angeles let's talk to rob reynolds again he joins in that rob so so where are you now and tell us what's happening that. well the most interesting thing about where i am here now karen is what you don't see because if you say 45 minutes ago there were hundreds of protesters in this spot you could see behind me a california national guard truck which is most likely full of national guard

troops but. as the curfew approached everybody just packed up and left and so they are respecting the curfew it was an entirely peaceful event here there is a curfew that extends across the entire county of los angeles which numbers 10000000 people and i think 88 different towns and cities that the curfew is in effect now and people have at least here been respecting it inferred also reports of other peaceful marches in the city through the hollywood district and elsewhere we've heard that in. ventura county or van nuys which is to the north of los angeles there has been some outbreaks of ransacking but it didn't appear to be terribly serious so at the moment it looks pretty quiet here there

are no protesters at this spot we are not hearing any reports of protests protesters actively defying police as they did over the weekend when the curfew went into effect we are not hearing at this stage any reports of burning buildings or burning police cars or anything like that so i think that the community leaders here have got their fingers crossed that that will stay the case for the next several hours as it grows dark the mayor of los angeles the governor of california all have been say pleading for calm striking a quite different sort of note and tone from that of president trump. when we heard from him earlier this afternoon the governor to gavin newsome saying it's not black people who are responsible for what's going on it's it's all of us as

a society as american society and that for years we have treated it as something we just sort of metaphorically pruning the branches here and there with little snips but not ripping up the the the tree of racism by its roots so. again. what i think is remarkable about what you're seeing here is what you're not seeing there and yet robin you were telling us earlier that some police officers in california have been showing solidarity with the protesters by taking a knee. yeah that's right i mean you know there were all sorts of different police responses and responses by protesters there was a very troubling incident. on sunday when a police vehicle in downtown los angeles sort of accelerated in into a crowd and knocked some people over fortunately they weren't seriously hurt but around the same time in sacramento there there was

a line of police and protesters facing off as we've seen so many many times over the past several days one of the police when went over and engaged a protester in conversation and then knelt beside him taking symbolically taking the need which has been such a. symbol of. the demand for racial justice and that ended in hugs all around and handshakes and claps on the back which might have been not the best thing for a social distancing but it certainly seemed to work to diffuse the situation at that particular moment all right to live for us in los angeles rob thank you for that. well social media has captured thousands of encounters between protesters looters and the police some 3 to white demonstrators committing violence and vandalism while ignoring pleas from black protesters to stop and that's opened a tense conversation about the role of non-blacks in this movement on his or

castro's mill was a black woman tries to cry stop to a group of white leaders in oakland but the chaos drowns her out this man a black one who put him back managing to non-black protesters vandalize a cafe but the african-americans whose lives are actually on the line fear they'll pay a little bit down down don't break them oh you want to go behind that people couldn't and black people didn't do it and in denver. sure that's what we want to send out black activist and school board director tae anderson intervened when he saw a white man defacing public property i do get very frustrated and. people of color are destroyed during a day or a day and we end up getting the blame for it but you get asked for the. right the day time protests organized by black civil rights groups have been largely peaceful across the u.s. . but the nighttime rioting has involved people of all races the

over the non-blacks our allies and our kiss or even white supremacists as some have accused is unclear. and we do not to write our arms our own stories and part of that is yet letting us you know. what the earthquake was the divisions here are not simple protesters of various races in washington d.c. attacked a white man after he destroyed a sidewalk then they turned him into police. and a young white woman jumped in front of a young black man near the white house blocking him from advancing police the widely shared clip showed a moment of racial solidarity even as many black americans insist they write this chapter of their own history. hi joe castro al-jazeera washington. well there was another incident that sparked plenty of controversy last week after

it was filmed and posted to social media a woman in new york's central park called the police saying a black man was threatening a christian cooper film the exchange after he lost out to follow the rules by putting a leash on a dog the woman a nickel that no nation was notified from her job there is an african-american man for his record at my company my god. and i. am sorry i can't hear you that i think right i am better at grandma or grandpa. well across a system meant to be cooped up posted that video and i spoke to her and she said she felt compelled to share my brother's encounter i had posted on twitter several different videos like this that i'd see in. these kind of phone calls that have been made and for it to be my own brother it just struck home it struck a nerve for me and i've been fighting against this kind of systemic racism for

a long time and i was afraid because when i saw that i realized that my brother if it had gotten another way police could have arrived could have thrown him on the ground and when i posted it i didn't yet know about george floyd and when i found out about george floyd i i watched that video again and i realized yes that could have been my brother and it infuriated me and it frightened me and i knew that the world needed to see this video so that we could start to really engage in a in a conversation about it and take action to change this kind of systemic racism that you know the leadership in this country has has encouraged we've seen it across the country for those specially over the past 4 years and i thought it was time for it to stop and for us to really address it. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden has vowed to address what he described as institutional racism if elected this

november biden's been meeting with black community leaders in his hometown of delaware it's the 2nd day in a rout biden going to row biden has left home to address the growing unrest and only the 3rd time he's been seen publicly since the coronavirus lockdowns began in march he stepped out of the meeting with the mayors of cities badly affected by the violence. former u.s. president barack obama has written an open letter to americans calling for them to vote if they want real change is also urging protesters to refrain from violence he wrote i saw an elderly black woman being interviewed today in tears because the only grocery store in the neighborhood had been trashed if history is any guide that story may take years to come back so let's not excuse violence or rationalize it or participate in it he added if we want to bring about real change in the choice isn't between protest and politics we have to do both but margaret burnham is a professor of law and the director of the civil rights and restaurateur justice project at northeastern university she says there needs to be real change to stop history

repeating itself. i certainly agreeing with president obama that this could be a turning point when i would differ from him though is the nature of the turn that has to be made the kind of pivot that has to be made in order to ensure non repetition of the kind of police behavior in the police killings and murders that we've recently seen in the united states president obama talks about reform we've tried reform we've tried to reform the police department we tried to rein in the police department to hold the police accountable and those measures thus far have not worked we need a true transition in the united states we need a true pivot a true correction or. a true movement to a different reality for all of us in a simple and particularly for those of us who are african-american and that requires very very deep fundamental change not just reform

where journalists covering the protests have increasingly come under attack by police officers even after clearly identifying themselves to gas has been fired directly at them and crews have been roughed up and intimidated on sunday a cameraman from the b.b.c. was run by police outside of the white house a reporter with vice film this moment when he was forced to the ground and pepper sprayed despite identifying himself repeatedly and police fired pepper balls at this reporter during a live report in louisville others have been shot at in the rubber coated steel bullets the photographer linda tirado was partially blinded by one covering protests in minneapolis on friday while the same day a team from c.n.n. was arrested live on television they were released a short time later the state's governor since apologized for marty stephens is an international press institute board member she says journalism in the u.s. has been under assault for some time now. we have 1st amendment protection for journalists journalists are the eyes and ears built into the u.s.

constitution that the journalists will be a checks and balance on not only government but institutions the government as well including the police see have seen since the beginning of the trumpet ministration a a widespread distrust of the press fueled by the president's own tweets in own words continuing calling the media here in the united states the enemy of the people and certainly putting down the role that that we play in the important information cycle getting information out to the world about what's happening so yes to answer your question there is sort of a feeling by local sheriffs as well as its members something larger police forces that there is a bit of impunity that journalists are impeding the police's ability to do their job not understanding that the press has an important role and actually can't even

protect the police just certain extent because they are filming everything now the music industry is calling for a blackout tuesday a day of silence reflection of meaningful action to honor george floyd a number of major record labels have pledged to refrain from business activity in response to floyd's death and the protests interscope records says it won't release new music this week instead it will help organizations bailing out protest as who were arrested while exercising their right to assemble peacefully. for musicians on hollywood celebrities of join the chorus of people demanding justice for george floyd stars like fiona michael jordan ariana grande they join demonstrations at the weekend others have been sharing messages on social media calling on the music industry to take action to provoke accountability and change dozens of artists are speaking out about racial injustice. and were disgusted and cannot normalise this pain not only speaking to people of color if you're white black

brown or anything in between i'm sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in america right now no more senseless killings of human beings no more saying less than human we can no longer look away george because all of our family and humanity he's our family because he's a fellow american police brutality been going on even even way before i was born but he has be it been more visual ever since you know social media started getting popular another way for the people to take power i don't want to make everything political but it is what it is it's by bullet and when i say body i'm not only talking about the president we could vote for mayors we go vote for judges and we can also board for the a's this year attorneys yes we could vote for these people for our county we sure can.

get. to this. part time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has threatened to deploy the military if state governors konkan tain violent protesters this past week a scene nationwide demonstrations against police brutality most of the protesters have been peaceful but it's also been looting and vandalism trump said it was his duty to uphold law and order. we cannot allow the righteous cries of peaceful protesters to be drowned out by an angry mob the biggest

victims of the rioting are peace loving citizens in our poorest communities and as their president i will fight to keep them safe while just as trump was speaking this was the scene outside the white house as police cleared peaceful protesters was and tear gas and stun grenades. that was to make way for the president to walk down to a nearby church they've been vandalized. meanwhile in minneapolis people have been holding a vigil at the site where george floyd died. his brother terrence called for people to stop looting and encourage them to channel their frustrations into political action. and i think. you know.

no no no. i would not want to be doing. the not. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden has vowed to address what he described as institutional racism if elected this november he's been meeting with black community leaders in his hometown of delaware it's the 2nd day in a row biden has left home to address the growing unrest and only the 3rd time he's been seen publicly since coronavirus lockdowns in march he set to hold a virtual meeting with mayors of cities affected by the violence so those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera the inside story segment that's watching the. it's the u.k.'s biggest hospital with eventual capacity for 4000 covered 19 patients built inside

a london conference center it took just 9 days to construct with the help of army engineers dramatically expanding the critical care bed count and other similar sites under way the actual london numbers could be much higher than advertised researches say that huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now trying to close extrapolate that across the country and the spread of corona virus appears far wider than anyone thought. education and what the u.n. has established an international day to protect education from attack but how could that make a difference on the ground what does it take to secure education in times of conflict this is inside story.

hello welcome to the program i'm convinced from afghanistan to me and ma and syria to nations in africa school buildings are being bombed or used groups in conflict zones students are missing out on schooling and teaches a present situation now worsened by the pandemic the un is particularly concerned about more than 75000000 young people living in 35 crisis affected countries it says they're in urgent need of educational support the world body recently adopted a resolution establishing september and 9 as the international day to protect education from attack it aims to ensure schools remain safe and says governments should protect and increase funding for educational institutions and humanitarian emergencies that resolution was presented by qatar and co-sponsored by 62 countries . well the u.n. secretary general welcome to the unanimous decision by the general assembly the

proclamation of not september as the international day to protect education from attack as safeguarding the right to education for all contributes to the chief meant of sustainable development and nurtures the international community's decades long gains towards peace economic prosperity and social inclusion worldwide. the chairperson of qatar's education above all foundation shake up. has advocated since september last year for a day dedicated to protect education from attack she says attacks on schools must halt the perpetrators of these heinous attacks must be held to account so that the millions of children deprived of education in conflict settings can aspire to a better future education is their lifeline and we must protect it. now the u.n. estimates more than 300000000 students were denied schooling and 20181 3rd of them live in countries affected by conflict or disaster that's one in 3 children and

young people living in conflict zones missing out on education 5 countries in central and west africa accounted for more than a quarter of attacks on schools globally and afghanistan assaults on schools tripled between 2017 and the following year nearly half of all school aged children to not receive formal education by the end of last year more than a 1000 education and medical facilities have been attacked in syria as the war continued 2000000 children are out of school in yemen and another 4000000 at risk of having to stay out. let's bring in our guest joining us in amman we have to raise curran regional education advisor for the middle east at the norwegian refugee council and in doha really harmonic executive director at protection of education in security and conflict for education above all of well welcome to you both thanks for joining us on program. i

want to start with you if i can from what you and your teams are seeing on the ground why do we need this day this u.n. day dedicated to protect education from attack. thanks very much came but and asked are you one of the things that's absolutely crucial to us and something that's central to everything that we do is mitt ensuring that children continue to access their right to learn that they have that opportunity to not only access that right but also to do it safely and children and youth across the middle east where i'm currently working as well as across the world in the 33 countries where nic is working constantly under attack in the education experiences and we all know is that of course if we want to learn we need to learn in safe places we need to learn in places where we feel welcome where we feel empowered and where we feel encouraged something that helps us to ensure that hope continues to help us build our dreams and also to build on learning we'll talk

a little bit later in the program about what impact not getting an education has but many are about to come to you and about asking how effective do you think this initiative this international day will be and actually of the attacks there are of course those attacks that stem from organized military is targeting schools or using schools as bases and becoming targets but how do you get the likes of book a whole rom to adhere to a resolution. i think the really significant thing about this resolution is that vides the global mobilizing moment for all of us to come together and to come together as a global community all levels of society top down youth civil society and shows including those who are affected in nigeria itself to come together and say enough is enough we're not going to tolerate this kind of violence against learners against children we should be safe to play against young women in nigeria who are

seeking out knowledge which is their absolute basic fundamental right and i think the significant thing about this day is that it provides a really important way of providing all of us with a structure a permanent structure under which we can put all our energies to try and bring about change ok to raise the global coalition to protect education from attack reports that in afghanistan documented threats and intimidation of teach is increased from 2013 to 2016 even as targeted killings actually declined most of those threats were directed towards girls' education how do you a virt attacks that stem from religious or ideological beliefs. well one of the things that's most important is working together with communities trying to ensure that communities themselves understand what the importance of education is and where possible having dialogue with other groups particularly

military actors where possible gaging with the u.n. and other actors so that they can support those conversations to help people to understand what it is that we are trying to achieve that education is important it is a human right it is something that every child every youth deserves to access so very much open dialogue but i think it's also very much supported by having systems in place that ensure that yes we have international humanitarian law yes it's important yes people need to understand but unless their actions taken when people come should be in this role and don't respect this more then no matter how much communities understand and respect education it's going to be very difficult if actions not taken when that is not respective so that brings me to my next question really how you are really how your professor of law as well as working with education above all we have the geneva convention we have international law which says civilians and civilian objects should not be targeted and yet we see it happen

with no consequence i'd like to just quote quickly if i can from the u.n. h.c.r. about attacks predominantly by israel on the palestinian territories and i quote in the west bank military operations by israeli security forces and attacks by israeli settlers harmed palestinian students educational personnel schools universities and gaza airstrikes and mortar shells damaged or destroyed hundreds of palestinian schools and universities most of them in 2014 so many have a question is is international law failing children i think i think that's a really fair observation i have to start of by saying that we have a fantastic normative system in place on the books we've got 2 or 3 different strands of international law humanitarian law human. rights law international criminal law all of which provide remedies and ways of urging perpetrators to account. all of those legal institutions so on political will for enforcement that said i think that there is some political will there are cases of

the being considered at the international criminal court including cases relating to the palestinian israeli dispute so so i think there are there is some progress but i agree with you it's just shocking you slow i think there is a mechanism another mechanism a non-legal mechanism which is the security council i think there is some potential for putting into place political mechanisms for accountability in global governance institutions such as the security council that will help i think finally it's worth saying that i think we can really give up on accountability i think to races right to say we need open dialogue with perpetrators to try and get. this been remarkable success by the. process. conflict process to try and get the release of prisoners by by boko haram for example but but we need

accountability we do need people to know that if they attack schools if they attack children in places where they should be safe to play and learn there will be consequences and we as a world community will not tolerate these sort of criminal acts coming back to that specific example i gave the conflict in gaza in 2014 do you think there was accountability for all of the attacks on education centers where the international court is looking at evidence related to some of those bombings there hasn't been accountability there isn't accountability which is partly why my program was established 10 years ago the founder of the program shift from. there i'm uncertain as a recognised what actually there needed to be political leadership they needed to be a really important specialist project such as my school project which is called project education and security in conflict and following that you know we've been working for 10 years on this subject and the un resolution is

a absolutely wonderful combination of the work of that 10 years but we're not going to start going to carry on being ambitious because we recognise point you've made which is there is and to belittle in context like the israeli palestinian dispute but also in in south sudan or in colombia for those perpetrators who deliberately and humorously target schools and educational facilities teachers and children who are playing when we think to resell it comes here when we think of say yemen libya syria which i know you focus on we're talking proxy wars exacerbated by countries with competing interests who are giving support to competing parties on the ground and of course these conflicts are impacting children's access to education what responsibility should these come. trees bear for supporting these conflicts think one of the most important things is that we need to remember that we need to work

together with communities and we need to be szell based on what communities highlighting is important and what the needs are in their communities that way to respond to the rise so when communities value the inclusion of their children into a formal system that recognises their learning across the country then that's really important to work towards and that it's not only about the particular perspective of a country who's supporting the education programming but also listening very closely to the communities about what it is that they want what's the end goal that they want for their children so they can achieve their dreams but i'm asking about international accountability well i think that one of the things that we need to be able to do is that we need to have. more global conversations when it comes to these sorts of issues discussing what is the place in education for all the political perspective of particular countries in particular supporters of education versus what are the actual needs on the ground and what is actually going to help

to achieve those so sometimes those conversations are very challenging because of course everybody across the world from their different political perspectives has their own perspectives has their own accountability at home in their own countries which sometimes doesn't always support or help that particular action that's trying to be achieved on the ground in a country where we're trying to aim towards helping children who have names who have dreams to actually achieve those and many have so you want to so you want to add to that what are you going to say that money well i was going to said actually i think you need both i think that you need both accountability which is global national neagle systems need to ensure that there's accountability for tax in education and we need to work with communities themselves to ensure the that their voices tom. through i mean the example i'd like to give this is the research that was dark. in places like a gun a standard sassoon's the girls' education is valued when you actually asked local

communities including those who expect sympathy towards the taliban about the value that they place in education everyone places a very high value on education and we need to cut through complex conversations and make sure that that commitment that universal commitment to the power and the vision of the transformative effect of education in communities i think you can't replace global governments institutions become to replace accountability and that is why kim this day the u.n. resolution this achievement is so important because the u.n. as a multilateral organization needs leadership to try and and and build a and and provide the vision and the leadership to take us forward we have education above all are absolutely committed we've been doing this for 10 years we put out a call to everyone to join us to join you in agencies to come up with ideas and new

energy and make attacks on education an absolute thing of the past week. deros strategy no deliberate attacks on schools and last week you celebrated 5 years of the safe schools declaration we want everyone to sign up to it we want n.g.o.s be more all leaders except for to sign up not just to the safe schools declaration but to just make no attacks on schools education teachers and pupils a reality so is what impact does interrupted access to education have for children long term and for communities long term across generations. well it has an enormous impact and it has an almost impact on individuals as well and i mean so far we've managed to talk about communities and different levels of decision making but perhaps just to share one example for having a young person that we've been working with in recent months and this young person is quite sham she is 19 and she says when i was in grade 9 during class we heard

the sound of a wall playing and my school was bombed a group of students died and some students were injured by the scattered glass after the incident i was in bad shape mentally and i became afraid to go to school so at grade 914 years of age sham never returned to school and shamus a perfect example of what the impact is of attacks on schools and one of the things that's really important about this day it's not only important for sham and young people like sam who have lost 81012 years of schooling because of the attack that happened in this school or because of the violence on the road to school when they were trying to get to school safely or because of the checkpoint that they had to pat. it's really important also this day is so important because it sends a message to the children who have lived through these things it sends a message to the communities who are constantly frustrated by the attacks on school and the fact that global coalitions exist but don't see the impact improving in

their communities and so it also encourages them to report to come forward and say this happened in our community and to report it and have it investigated so apart from that the impact also is the loss of learning the loss of dreams the loss of the house of a community when a school is bombed a school is the heart of a community it creates fia when children don't want to go to school because they're afraid when parents don't want to send their children to school because they're afraid when teachers don't want to live in a community because they're afraid then we see a dead. misstating impact on schooling on education not just now but for the generations to come where children and youth have missed their opportunities to access their right to learn so this day helps them to be aware to know to hold others to account that my school should be safe and i deserve to learn in

a safe place later is that that point you made a school being the heart of a community is the very reason that sometimes schools a targeted i mean how do you how do you communicate that message that that is not ok and how do you get people to and hear to that message but i think it's a very challenging thing to do and in every community in every country it's going to be a difficult discussion and that's the reason why you know when we work for example in organizations like n.r.c. education does not work on its own we also work with other parts of to ogunnaike session whether it's about shelter all through security but more importantly and i say we also work with a very strong passionate group of lawyers lawyers who not only ensure that young people have access to school because they have the documentation the birth certificates etc that they need to enter school but they're also the ones who do the research about the impact to communities that a failure to acknowledge this has and then works together with our advocacy people

to try to promote positive messages and sometimes very difficult messages to all different levels of the global structure to encourage them to take action to watch to see. the impact of of attacks on education on students. particularly graceful women and girls why is that. i think just to say i really strongly agree but today said about the need for justice for victims for victims to be able to see the world community is doing something about their suffering and i think the way to is expressed that was really moving i think in relation to girls and young women you can get a range of different ways in which this civic you targeted of course you have specific targeted targeting of girls schools which is an example really of misogyny your belief that women shouldn't have knowledge that they don't have a place as far as education is concerned but they're also in direct ways the fact

that there's an attack on a school means that women are disproportionately less likely to be able to take the risk to go to school to return to school to school so the research that was john by the chief c.p.a. on the impact of attacks on on women and girls has demonstrated that they're both positive and in direct consequences thoughtful for women and girls and you know came the thing is that this picture that i think you're opening piece pointed about uncollected conflict during the times in which we live i think one thing about education is quality education is it has the potential you if it's directly and fairly distribution to break the cycle of conflict to to reduce the conflict and to allow the communities to build peace so i think there's really a lot at stake here i think all of us need to take the role of quality education and its potential to end conflict much more seriously there is your work right now

our focus is on providing strategic technical advice and support to n.r.c. teams working inside syria what do you think after 9 years of war what are the major challenges for ensuring access to education for syrian children going forward . well generally we find from the research that's been done both by the class and other organizations in education this 3 main reasons why children choose not to access educational their parents choose the 1st one is because they it's not safe so whether it's walking to school whether it's checkpoints whether it's the actual attacks on schools physically they don't feel safe being at school another one is the infrastructure has been so damaged there are some parts of the country where there are more than 5000 schools on the ground and yet they're trying to educate 65 percent of the children in the country so when you have so much devastation and it's sorry challenging to get organized patients join us it's that you're from

across the world to support the rebuilding of schools the heart of the community bringing people back to their communities helping them to once again feel like they feel welcome in their home and the 3rd reason is that's claimed by many many parents and very correct is that we've lost small then 30000 sorry 130000 teachers from syria and so they often complain about the quality and the fact that teachers are good people and they're working hard but they struggle because they're not trained all of the in the process of being trained and they're not yet able to provide the quality of education that syrian people leave used to receiving price of the conflict we're coming into the end of the program now many had like to end with you what can the international community do to avoid having a generation all the young people coming through who have not had access to education and everything that comes along with that so it's i think any one thing

is provision which is to make the commitment both financial but not just financial practical commitments to deliver quality education but i think in relation to the topic we're discussing today i think the un resolution is a good start but it's only a start we need to. to get there with ideas with vision with ambition and you know to have our hearts on fire but our brains firmly on our list as we put together coalitions to try and bring about change and i think it's not just a top down approach i don't think it's just about people in new york deciding what should be done i think we need to establish a mobilization a movement of n.g.o.s youth just say enough is enough we will not tolerate this anymore either in communities or international stage actors such as in syria or in yemen attacking schools using unbelievable foul on impoverished communities during

war i have lived there for a time of really appreciate both of you coming on the program and of course all of the work that you are doing to raise car in there and really have malik thank you very much and thank you turkey for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that facebook dot com ford slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at a.j. inside story or you can message me directly at conventional for me the whole team here for advice and.
