4:31 am

4:33 am
a ironic that when many governments around the world declare that the fight against terrorism is the number one priority, this hasn't the see, it has continue with the tags. have continued. we have to wonder, why is this 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,
4:34 am
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. ah, 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 or text me generally as sense
4:35 am
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 soft and search more than 4 or 5 times. within 2 months i felt thou was,
4:36 am
i was game it 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 get suspecting that's the reality. it's a sad reality. you mean you have internalize 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 if 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 there be a good man or a man, a certain color may cause harm. least needs to change because we are kind of like
4:37 am
brain wash to think that way. mm. 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 a nuisance or manner. so any of these things i think is quite devastating in how
4:38 am
much he labeled with doing and activities based on passes 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. and i copy for label and my race gender. or what do you think you are? it doesn't have to always be like more because it will be how is it 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
4:39 am
it could be represented terrorism, terrorism, and especially in regards to this training. just the attack prevent talks with the government contest strategy which that counter terrorism initiative ask teachers for example, to 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, a pass. mood for example, might be that people might sound a bit more aggressive. they might sound for it said if i can some thing from a fall, right? websites or a tweet, the repeating mats. it could be perhaps a change in dress and suddenly an increase legitimacy could say the top 3 are definition of adolescence. indeed,
4:40 am
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 they asked me the same question and again and again. me. i didn't know my right. i feel like there was just a dark hole. i fell into, not knowing because i sent my son to a school me. we've documented nearly 500 cases of individuals 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
4:41 am
a collective trauma to the community, including children. so it's, in essence, the policy is creating what is supposed to be fighting. essentially, you have to distance yourself from your family. you just feel more and more isolated 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 mistress 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. the it's very interesting to see that that which george all was whitening up decade ago has in effect now mature life to speak
4:42 am
a certain language authority speak. so 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 itself 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 entry was a psychologist who deals with marginalized young people. threat is the number one for the password to really i'm, you know, we're told it's everywhere we're told we're supposed to be highly suspicious if everybody had everything and i think it has
4:43 am
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 fragment, 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 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 can find themselves there and really have a struggle. you know, internally about is this me is this, is this the person i am?
4:44 am
well actually yes, people are telling them you is. that's why you're there. and then i think there is there 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 toward 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. here we 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,
4:45 am
as it is literally down loaded on these youth is that it becomes internalized. they look at it the process it and they themselves tend to sometimes have to find ways to act it in the video games for hours. and then many of those ending se in the military of the united states armed forces and in effect, replaying those very techniques through the drones that they will send out to kill a young man on a hill somewhere in pakistan with low. so the, one of the key innovations of these limits was it's platform, the videos that they have upgraded to a much, much more different level of sophistication of quality any were then, then we'll log in effect a certain entertainment driven hollywood ised,
4:46 am
video games kind of approach which we hadn't, ah, 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 with these communities, you know, what kinds of lives are you leaving there? are you happy that? why don't you come here? why don't you do that? you with the service of a local music, music, marivel or cold, false, a bony mcneil, is you can 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
4:47 am
hm. mm hm. oh i do. i think there are a lot of issues conflated 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 mainly, but i'm just telling you what, what i 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,
4:48 am
same background, who don't use those grievances as a way to then declare, or 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 friends 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 it. this is a group of people that left friends went 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
4:49 am
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 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. this is what you get a, by the pressure of the muslims from the east to the west. ask yourself, why would i be able to keep in mind? ah,
4:50 am
one wants to be honest, you have to see the relationship with intervention. isn't 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 hale in libya. a you cannot see that these extra simply come on the basis of this ideology which is apocalyptic. and ignore the fact that in many cases they are linked to these conflicts and led to this generation that had basically via us as a way of life with a a
4:51 am
the narrative has been so semantics that this is basically all about religion and islam. and these guys are coming from there to attack the western world. and these people are totally irrational removing the politics out of that removing the history. removing the colonial in print, removing the foreign policy, the interventionism, extracting all of that. and they think this as a set of extra terrestrials descending from the sky. and we do have societies, whether it's at new nato or the united nations, and unique with these top policy makers that are working on designing these contra tires and policies and engaging with them. the difficult thing is to have them go beyond that, which is familiar to them. particularly problematic is the cultural reading to understand western terrorist of the $970.00 s,
4:52 am
such as bottom mine 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 florida and these lab 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 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 with violence deem that the european and the american
4:53 am
considered exceptionally and acceptable. not because of what it's doing, obviously, terroristic and violent. but because of whom it, there's target. oh, my god, this jewels i bought was it the menu you had you? nice about. okay. i would say jessica 6, a gina has shown global dash in the clear slum position. marcy bookish read counseling, so not even content is that did a sheet, isn't there a spot in the, in my the ability relapse, you're a government opportunities early. i love you. last we're all are on the fin gestural. did then i can't i swear or lance? formal affinity smell? had you hear me on that ispa upon see they've had them in the finance so her hand shall 3. get on for just a 2nd 10 boss or something, or from that? yes you and many young people have reacted with bias as the
4:54 am
position of a stereotype in many countries means that they faced lives with fewer opportunities than their parents. ah one of the strong narratives in the western world about these far away places is that they really literally waiting to come and elisha via that, he's 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. ah
4:55 am
that over the phone, political venus had i been given to do a lot of formally can get a little more you can lead there, aren't there go. all teams have been us. some blocky were mcgill caches, opportunity should in and work a little bit because he should have come lashley today. when we started with church, we called data b. can you make sure that they had
4:56 am
a lot of kids, toby? so keep my head with a new quote created quin such in and communism develop. i met with her do a follow up with all the different football men, only one for a couple of this also under this year for the new with this is places are about development about education, about getting a job ah,
4:57 am
and what we need to reflect on now is, where are we going into this new blade runner ish world of virus? what do you do when at the end of the day, you have a technique of terrorism, of killing rhyming 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 abroad . and the next phase of this is already playing up, as we see more attacks on the west by western as themselves in
4:58 am
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 authority and 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, stopped doing that with the now the florida sun is woman the moment and there's a blizzard in the dakotas. quite a surprising difference in the weather north to south in north america, where there it is. that is a proper springs. storm was real winter tucked into it from the prairies in the middle of canada dancers, i said, the dakota, catching a montana wyoming as well. and the temperatures therefore locked back in
4:59 am
minneapolis and they will be in chicago because the time being this is quite warmer by the cold meets the warm you get this line of thunderstorms. yes, they could be quite poky in the next day or so. running through arkansas, the temporary chicago dropped down to about 12 degrees. yes, cold still, and i remind you is now late april on the pacific coast is warming up somewhat 20 in san francisco, 33 in a late in the bahamas, the shower in our back to the irregular sized, but they all bigger around jamaica and probably honduras the correct your for the south as well. they've been some seasonally heavy writing columbia to with flooding that could be repeated. this is simply an area of big shouts. for much of brazil is much quite a picture that is away from the atlantic coast for the sas argentina. seeing a change in season, this rain or snow spreading up the andes towards santiago. ah,
5:00 am
ah, why did one of toilet with the country in here with a police corrupt one out for with a water news briefing and a metro station ukraine's president says, he can't trust russia, but again, suggests talks to end the war. ah ha ha ha rahman you watch out. is there a life my headquarters here in dough? her also coming up? russia 5 cruise missiles at the southern port city of odessa killing at least 8 people, including a 3 month old baby. more than a 100 people are killed in nigeria and next.
