the o tainer, and under the top stories, you'll notice era, ukraine is defense, ministry is accused russia of imperialism. after a russian general told state media of plans to seize all of southern and eastern ukraine. ukrainian military says russia is stepping up attacks along the entire eastern front line, while also trying to mount an offensive in the hockey region. russian general wisdom munich, i have says moscow ames to seize the don bus as well as the south, which will let them connect the come in. and it's you know, to a russian back breakaway region of moldova. that would mean pushing hundreds of

kilometers beyond current front lines. the mayor of the besieged city of mary lupo, has called for the evacuation of around a 100000 civilians who remain trapped. european council president is also calling and letting me pretend to allow access to the city of the several humanitarian corridors record off due to potential dangers. russian forces have continued to surround a steel works in marble where thousands of ukrainian troops and civilians hold up. the un human rights offices, there's growing evidence of russian war crimes and ukraine, including signs of indiscriminate shelling and executions. a spokesperson says ukrainian forces also seem to have used weapons indiscriminately, but the vast majority of violations appeared to be by russian troops. there is evidence mounting of war crimes being committed, and these include indiscriminate shedding and bombing of oxidative areas. summary
11:32 pm
execution up to the indians. as i said, the vast majority of nations by far are attribute to the russian forces. so if you just look at the civilian casualties bigger, 92.3 percent of what we've managed to record were recorded in government control territories. so attribute to the russian forces and blasters ripped through mosque and religious school in afghanistan, northern conduce province. the taliban says at least $33.00 people were killed, including children. 43 others were wounded. is not carried out fridays attacks. but i've got a strong affiliate says it was behind bombings the day before, which killed at least 18 people. there's the headlines to stay with us next up. it's radicalized youth, and i'll be about custody of that with a news to me. then if you can. in the meantime, just get a website out of here dot com. if you need to catch up, bye for now. a
11:33 pm
ironic that when many governments around the world declare that the fight against terrorism is the number one priority, this hasn't has continued, the tags have continued. we have to wonder why is, is the case for the past 20 years, i've been working on the question of political violence and terrorism. it's persistence in our lives, in our times, in our societies, begs the question,
11:34 pm
why could it be that the policies governments think, will prevent violent extremism, might actually be making things worse. the aftermath of the 911 attacks on the united states in 2001 you could visibly see that the world has been securitized. a certain architecture of things has materialized, literally there is a certain presence of the state security that has been increased the militarized presence has really transformed the scene of the world around us. there has been no legislation that has increased powers of surveillance that have given more of an ability to shrink the privacy space for citizens around the world . news alerts all the time, keeping the citizen on their toes a certain phraseology of be careful. observe, report. if you see something that doesn't look right to me or text me, generally
11:35 pm
a sense of fear. think the threat, has it been lessened? has there been results in terms of addressing it? and the paradox is that it has not quite the opposite. so clearly something is not working we must remember that the majority of political violence is not carried out in the name of any particular religion. and certainly not only in the name of one in 2017, here in the diverse london area, finsbury park. a man drove a van into the crowd, leaving a mast saying he wanted to kill all muslims. but does the securitized response to reflect this complex reality? i've come to as the young people here for their experiences. i was stop and search more than 4 or 5 times within 2 months. i felt that was i was game big
11:36 pm
because of my color rather than religion wise. i was actually the 1st few times as well in underground, so call random searches which i didn't think it was the random fish. it was a norm in that time and still now i think that you expect every now and then to get stop. it's not nice, it don't one that but every now and then it happened the narrative. we hadn't been going around for such a long time. if i'm writing it to you and i see man carrying it back, i get i, suspecting that's the reality. it's a sad reality. you mean you have internalized it become like i said, if i am a person of faith and i get like that, i am the some of the other people might fear as well. and i don't, thing is necessarily is the fault of the people is the responsibility of the media . we've done that, people who of authority, who put this narrative out there, that the bearded man, or a man of certain color may cause hom lease needs to change. because we are kind of
11:37 pm
like brain wash to think that way. so does the obsession with security just affect muslims or do others feel that they are suspects as well? looking at post 911 and how you have been experiencing a lot of terrorism attack. and so how did you live through those years? and how do you look at how authorities have been dealing with this? it was challenging because people perspective of the minority group had already been made up and their mindset towards people of color. people faced people from about car, maybe they didn't understand it was the fear of the unknown and we suffered from the collateral damage of that was not expected of minorities after these events as well, like back to above and beyond decency, in a sense, to not be perceived as new sense or manner. so any of these things i think is quite devastating in how much he labeled with doing an
11:38 pm
activities based on past his actions is not the best example for the younger generation. if they have to walk around in fear, they can all, because i look like this automatically i'm going to be treated like this. it would be like this in the future about how people label would and race gender. or what do you think you are? it doesn't have to always be like more you are probably you will be. i think it is . it's going to be from from it and living in this traumatized society. everybody's doing and fail. being judged, being pointed up, being a key being isolated. how can we now face tomorrow, knowing this is what people think of us. while the british government claims to celebrate diversity, many feel that their main policy against violence extremism reinforces these attitudes. me
11:39 pm
all, it could be represented terrorism, terrorism, and especially in this train. just the attack prevents toxic governments contest strategy, which that kind of towers meant to ask teachers for example. so identify signs that somebody might be vulnerable to radicalization. extremism. fishing lectures might be looking for a change in behavior, a change in social groups that young people, apostles, mood, for example, might be that people might sound a bit more aggressive. they might sound spirit said, taking something from a fall right websites or a tweet, the repeating mats. it could be perhaps a change in dress and suddenly an increase. would you also say, could say the top 3, our technician of adolescent?
11:40 pm
indeed, absolutely. right. so ah, my son can fix the police officer from the social worker, ask him a lot of questions about his arabic teacher and what he was learning in arabic. and i remember my child kept turning to me like why he asked me the same question then again and again. mm. oh, i didn't know my right. i feel like there was just a dark hole. i fell into. no knowing because i sent my son to school me, we've documented nearly 500 cases of individual impacted by by prevent, to date these cases demonstrate both and as lumber phobic framework that operates within the policy. also, we have now seen how the policy has created
11:41 pm
a collective trauma to the community, including children, innocence, the policy is creating what is it supposed to be fighting? essentially, you have to distance yourself from your family. you just feel more and more isolated said day by day. it was just you fear your constant fear yet you have to do it alone. whether it's teachers or doctors, your social workers, anybody. you have this mistrust of everybody because you don't know anymore who to trust and you don't know what will happen to your children if you go to a doctor or if they will report you to someone. it's very interesting to see that that which george all was whitening up decade ago has in effect now mature life to speak
11:42 pm
a certain language of authority. it speaks, this is the language of demonization. certain groups are racialized a certain approach to discrimination that has a name growing up since 911. this generation starts from a completely different perspective than other generations would have had one where it starts from a point of view of fear of a certain vulnerability of having to prove herself almost being paranoid all the time. this very sense of uncertainty, but also of a certain vulnerability to find out how this might affect young people. psychologically i've come to meet laverne and traverse psychologists who deals with marginalized, young people. threat is the number one for the password to really i'm in a we're told it's everywhere we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious of everybody at every thing. and i think it has
11:43 pm
a real impact on one sense of self. as we know, children are incredibly receptive and perceptive. you know, fe, think that their teacher or staff are, or even mental health professionals, are screening them. that starts to really frank meant at the way in which you can have a relationship with the young person yet to there we have kids sitting in a class and feeling that they are in a policing system and the impact is you don't belong here. you don't fit for a child who's developing and trying to find a way of being in the well, that's a huge and sort of rebuff. and i think that what i've seen then happens is that the narrative grows of every body feeling that's difficult with this child, suddenly children, and then find themselves excluded. they're not in mainstream school. there in people refer unit, young people that i've worked with confine themselves there and really have a struggle. you know, internally about is this me, is this,
11:44 pm
is this the person i am? well actually yes, people are telling them that's why you're there. and then i think there is this sort of gathering momentum for many of them, not all of them to join gangs yet to join joins because because that's the trajectory. and it's very difficult to resist ah, being labeled a threat needs in many ways if the person is not a threat and if they are innocent, took a sense of injustice. many reports show that injustice in our nation are factors in making people susceptible to the appeal from groups like islamic states who have found ways to turn the west glamorization of violence against itself. go see a mission impossible type of movie or a, a homeland type of student series where this is all stage and presented as the logical normal narrative of the new world. we live in the paradox of this imagery,
11:45 pm
as it is literally down loaded on these youth is that it becomes internalized. they look at it, the processes and they themselves tend to sometimes have to find ways to act it in the video games for hours than then many of those ending, se, in the military of the united states armed forces and in effect with playing those very techniques through the drones that they will send out to kill a young man and a top, a hill somewhere in pakistan. ah, you b o t. he was over in germany. and one of the key innovations of these i'm, it was, it's platform that videos that they have upgraded to a much, much more different level of sophistication of quality. any who are then brought in effect, a certain entertainment driven hollywood eyes, video games,
11:46 pm
e kind of approach which we hadn't, ah says specifically when it comes to the youth from the western world. i think it was kind of a perfect home of the manner in which an entity like these last week states full was very fisher and they spoke directly to them. there's many, many videos by isis saying to these communities, you know, what kinds of lives are you leaving there? are you happy that want to come here? why don't you do that? you will. this home is a local realtor music, marivel o. cole, false love, a balmy mcneil is ripple creep. they speak to vulnerabilities, they speak to a sense of identities and development. they speak to them and in connecting it with the realities of discrimination that they're going through. mm
11:47 pm
hm. mm hm. oh, i do. i think there are a lot of issues completed here so, so the 1st is this idea that you know, the muslim community is being spied on. frankly, most of these cases that we've seen, the court cases have been young muslim. and whether we like it or not, they are the majority of people who are being attracted to these narratives that are coming out. many would dispute that maybe, but i'm just telling you what, what i've seen in the research that around of over 300 court cases. the majority of them have been very young and they've been male, and they've tended to work in network, so they all tended to know each other as well. today, a young muslim male around the world, particularly in europe and in the north america, feels a certain stigmatization. this is a fact. we've had conversations with educators addressing that in feeling that that's precisely the triggered factor. i think it has a great to service to the same people from the same community. has same religion,
11:48 pm
same background. who don't use those grievances as a way to then declare a, whenever you see people going far away to kind of unleash this violence or join causes that seem important to them. let's say for instance, people leaving france to go to the levant and join islamic state. what's interesting we find is that there is constantly a reflection about the dimension back home. how to go back to that society and punish this is a group of people that left friends once to su. yeah. but yet, what was seem demonstrably high on their mind was to pitch an attack where they would ship back that miles on to that society, which is their society where they go with which you have grievances
11:49 pm
i think it went beyond their wildest dreams in the sense that it became something of a moment of global bias. it's in that sense that it's important. what that the kid must say, or in minneapolis see into that that led them to go enjoying this. it has inevitably points about how they consider themselves as united, rejected. you did, you know, your tv says, once you get a blood pressure, the muslims from these to the, with ask yourself, why would i be ready to give a nice
11:50 pm
one wants to be honest. you have to see the relationship with intervention. and once that played out and seizing me for the past couple of decades, these operation that took place in iraq and in syria, and in the sa hail in libya, the or the you cannot see that these actors simply come on the basis of the ideology which is the clinic and ignore the fact that in many cases they are linked to these conflicts and led to this generation that had basically violet as a way of life the the
11:51 pm
the the narrative has been so samantha, that this is basically all about religion and islam and these guys are coming from there to the western world, and these people are totally irrational removing the politics out of that removing the history, removing the colonial imprint, removing the foreign policy, the intervention isn't extracting all of that in the think this as a set of extra terrestrial, descending from the sky, and you have to fight it whether it's a new nature or the united nations. and you need for this top policymakers that are working on designing these contractors and policies and engaging with them. some difficult thing is to have them go beyond that, which is familiar to them. particularly problematic is the cultural reading to understand western terrorists of the $900.00 seventies,
11:52 pm
such as bottom mile off in germany or the italian red brigades. one is invited to examine the societal conditions of the postwar, germany and italy and their relationship with their rebellious you, rightly so to make sense of applied. and these are mix date. one is asked to read the 4. so clearly what we have right then, and there is one yardstick, social to understand one type of bias and one yardstick, religious to understand something else, that in fact, may not be that different. the paradox in these policy circles is that all these professionals produce detailed reports that identify the causes of extremism as things like poverty, lack of opportunity in a sense of the nation. and yet, the policies that get implemented always emphasize policing surveillance and punishment. racism itself sits and question of the heart of this discussion on isis
11:53 pm
with the violence deem that the european and the american considered exceptionally and acceptable. not because of what it's doing, obviously terroristic and violent. but because of whom there is target, i don't destroy. i brought wealth, is it the men of your hitch receiver dashed? okay. i would say jessica 6, a gina has shown global dash electric slum bossy shed, nasty book up to sweet watts links on the hot eva containers that did a sheet. isn't there a spot in the, in my, the ability relapse your a gamma is repetitive. she's a loss, we're all are on the fringes from the den and cancer. i swear or lance, formal affinity, smile. you hear me on that ispa upon see the for them and the finance her hand. you shall 3. get on for just a 2nd patent. bob boss or something, or from that yes you, ah, and many young people have reacted with bias as the position of
11:54 pm
a stereotype in many countries means that they faced lives with fewer opportunities than their parents. with me, one of the strong narratives and the western world about these far away places is that they really literally waiting to come and unleash a violence that is already there. in many ways, it's actually insulting to these parts of the global south where the youth themselves leave largely very normal lives and their frustrations are of a different nature
11:55 pm
a out of the flop or leakage of venus had i been given to do a lot of formally can get a little more, you can leaders on thursday. all teams have dinner, assemble, ok. we're mikaela hash, there's opportunity you should in that work a little bit because he shouldn't continue to worry. lashley get it when we start up. she met with church with you called debbie, can you make sure that they had
11:56 pm
11:57 pm
. but we need to reflect on now is where are we going into this new blade runner ish world of violence. what do you do when at the end of the day, you have a technique of terrorism, of killing ramming a car, or a van into a population indiscriminately that is used equally by people on the islam of phobic site, for instance, the finsbury park attack. and equally by people on the western public site, as we've seen in this literally the same technique. clearly this is less and less about ideology. it is the return to the west of the bios that it has shipped a growth. and the next phase of this is already playing. as we see more attacks on the west by western as themselves do
11:58 pm
we have to really accept the fact that there is nothing inevitable in all of this. the fatalistic disposition that this is it, this is the new world. no. let's rollback those things that have to do with author return has been societies that generate the violence in their midst, have to be stopped democratize and power. those things have to do with interventions of foreign policy. conflicts had to be addressed. stopped going there, stop doing that. ah, it's a fast matter cloud circulating around that, just east side of the bite. as you can see, this is it. it's low cloud is dismal whether it's light to be fairly decent. i think good part of, of saturday, at least in victoria by sunday is broken up to some degree and the weather's turns rather changeable. i swear to use this condition through south australia, up towards the tropical north. there are
11:59 pm
a few showers just coming to the eastern shores of new south wales and cities held about $22.00 pers at $29.00. she was particular heat, but is really the northwest to see significant development. so a hint here, you already see a proper circulation which be a tropical low in the gulf of cafeteria, or your financial a wet time than for cans are all places further west. and in unsurprising contrast, yes is rate in the south of the new zealand, but most the time is looking fine in shelter. crushers 21 a north and on hold. looking reasonably good. lot of wet weather in the southeast asia there and he's concentrating again in western borneo. probably sumatra may be further sas than that. but a good part of the philippines just see a scattering a shaft and cambodia. it looks fairly wet as it does for time. i think in southern india and sri lanka, ah,
12:00 am
we understand the differences in the cultures across the world. so no matter what we've been using kind of for that matter to you with me, this is al jazeera ah lauren taylor. this is the engineering news. our live from london coming up, a russian general says moscow wants to take full control of southern ukraine as well as don't bus and aim. keith has branded imperialism ukrainian medics battle to save soldiers injured while fighting in the east. we report from a field hospital near the front line in afghanistan and bombing
