9:31 am
is succeeding. russia continues to try to brutalize parts of the country and the death and destruction that we continue to see is horrific. but ukrainians are standing up. they're standing strong in their doing that with the support that we have coordinated from our literally around the world. the strategy that we've put in place massive support for ukraine. masser pressure against russia. solidarity with more than 30 countries. engaged in these efforts is having real results. french president emmanuel, when a crime has been reelected comfortably basing far right challenge in marine le pen . a cons, acknowledged the dissatisfaction with his 1st tam. while the pen says his strong performance puts her in a good position for upcoming parliamentary elections. hey ma, they're fein isolated protest by far left groups against microns victory, right?
9:32 am
police moved in and use t against to disperse, demonstrate. as in paris, there was similar scenes in the north western city of ring. mass testing has begun in badging largest district shall young china has been rising to track a co good at 19 outbreak that may have been spreading in the capital for a week. aging residents have been rushing to buy essential items and we've fees of locked down and me, a mazda pie civilian later on, san sushi is expected to hear the verdict in the 1st of multiple corruption trials . so she was arrested by the army when it sees pallet more than a year ago. she's accused of influencing the 2025 to win a 2nd term in office. a guilty verdict could mean a sentence of up to 15 years. as the news headlines, it continues here on our jazeera, after radicalized you stay with us. ah,
9:33 am
[000:00:00;00] a ironic that when many governments around the world declare that the fight against terrorism is the number one priority, this hasn't this year has continued, 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
9:34 am
persistence in our lives, in our times, in our societies, begs the question, 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 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 new 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,
9:35 am
report. if you see something that doesn't look right to me or text me, generally 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 must saying he wanted to kill all muslims. but does the securitized response to reflect this complex reality? i've come to ask the young people here for their experiences. i was stop and
9:36 am
search more than 4 or 5 times within 2 months i felt thou woods, i was game picked 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. he 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 on one that but every now and then it happened the narrative . it hasn't been going around for such a long time. if i'm writing it to you and i see a bearded man carrying it back, i get i suspecting this 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, the bearded man, or
9:37 am
a man of certain color may cause hom lease needs to change because we are kind of like brainwashed to think that way. so does the obsession with security just affect muslims? where do others feel that they are suspected 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's perspective of the minority group had already been made up and their mindset towards people of color, people of faith, people from the background, 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, i feel like back to above and beyond decency, in a sense, to not be perceived as
9:38 am
a new sense or manner. so any of these things i think is quite devastate in how much he labeled with doing an activities based on past his actions is not the best example for the younger generation. if they have to walk around in faith and can all, because i look like this automatically i'm going to be treated like this. it would be in the future. not how people label would and race gender or what region you are . it doesn't have to always be like the more you buy because you will be how is it's going to be from from it and living in this traumatized society. everybody's doing and fail being judge, being pointed, the 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
9:39 am
attitudes. me if it could be represented terrorism, terrorism, and this is especially important because this training isn't just the prevalence talks with the government contest strategy, which that kind of towers meant to ask teachers for example, to identify signs that somebody might be vulnerable to radicalization or extremism . future lectures might be looking for a change in behavior change in social groups that young people. apostles, mood, for example, might be that people might sound a bit more aggressive. they might sound for it face to face something from a fall right website to a tweet. the repeating mats, it could be perhaps a change in dress and suddenly an increase logy also see could say the top 3,
9:40 am
our technician of adolescent. indeed, absolutely, very so ah, my son can fix the police officer from the social worker. i asked him a lot of questions about his arabic teacher and what he was learning and arabic. and i remember my child kept turning to me like why they 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, not knowing because i sent my son to school me. we've documented nearly 500 cases of individuals impacted by by prevent, to date these cases demonstrate both and as wonderful framework that operates
9:41 am
within the policy. also, we have now seen how the policy has created a collective trauma to the community, including children. 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 you're in 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. if they will report you to someone. it's very interesting to see that that which george all was writing
9:42 am
a decade ago has in effect now mature life to speak 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 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 and traverse 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 of
9:43 am
everybody and everything. and i think it has a real impact on one sense of self. as we know, children are incredibly receptive and perceptive. you know, if they 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 a young person yet. today 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 everybody feeling that's difficult with this child. suddenly children and then find themselves excluded. they're not in mainstream school. they're in, people refer unit, young people that i've worked with can find themselves there and really have
9:44 am
a struggle. you know, internally about is this me is this, is this the person i am? well actually yes, people are telling them you is, 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 to a sense of injustice. many reports show that injustice in our nation are factors in making people susceptible to the appeal from groups like his law mc state. who have found ways to turn the west glamorization of violence against itself and go see a mission impossible type of movie or a, a homeland type of student series,
9:45 am
where this is all stage and presented as the logical normal narrative of the new world we live in the paradox of this imagery, as it is literally downloaded on these youth, is that it becomes internalized. they look at it, the processes and they themselves tend to some time, 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, replaying those very techniques through the drones that they will send out to kill a young man and a top a hill somewhere in pakistan. b u b o t. he was loaded in 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 we'll
9:46 am
go, in effect, a certain entertainment driven hollywood eyes, video games, e 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 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 were the service of a local realtor music, marivel o cole, false. remember bonnie mckee, i live people group, they speak to vulnerabilities, they speak to a sense of identities and development. they speak to them in connecting it with the realities of discrimination that they're going through.
9:47 am
mm 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 with dispute. that may be, 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, in north america, feels a certain stigmatization. this is a fact. we've had conversations with educators addressing that and feeling that that's precisely the triggered factor. i think it has
9:48 am
a great to service to the same people from the same community. has same religion, 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 and the sh, 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's 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 went to su yet. 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,
9:49 am
which is their society where they go with which you have grievances 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 down. she says, watching here by the pressure, the muslims from the east to the west. ask yourself, why would
9:50 am
a nice ah if one wants to be honest, you have to see the relationship with intervention isn't one that played out and seasoning me for the past couple of decades. these operation that took place in iraq and in syria and in the sa hale in libya. ah, or 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
9:51 am
a ah, the narrative has been so cemented 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 just if you have a society, whether it's a new nato or the united nations, and you meet with these top policy makers that are working on designing these contra tires and policies and engaging with them. so difficult thing is to have them go beyond that, which is familiar to them. particularly problematic is the
9:52 am
cultural reading to understand western terrorists of the 1970s, 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 florida and these are mix date. one is asked to read the book. 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
9:53 am
punishments. racism itself sits and question at the heart of this discussion on isis 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 it, there's target i don't, is charles i bought was, is it the man of your had received a stroke, alan say jessica 6, a genie has shown global dash, electrical slum position marci book up to sweet counseling. so not even contagious that your she doesn't have a spot in the, in my, the ability relapse your a government opportunities early. i love your loss. we're all are on the fringes from the den. i can't see a swear or lance, formal affinity smell. how do you hear me on that ispa? i can see the for them in the finance or her hand, you shall 3 cookies on for you. just
9:54 am
a check on patent bob boss or something awful. that minister and many young people have reacted with bias as the 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 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
9:55 am
a different nature ah, a out of the flood policy to consume. venus could i been given the can do a lot of formally can get a little more you can lead there's, aren't there, go all teams in some blocky were mcneil caution opportunity. you should in and work a little bit because he should have come to the lashley. get it when we

9:57 am
a job. ah, what we need to reflect on now is where are we going into the snow 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 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
9:58 am
do 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. stop going there, stop doing that. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures, the cost around no matter what you've seen when using current calls that matter to you. hello there, let start in the middle east and we've got some unsettled weather across much of the region. you can see in the satellite image,
