8:06 am
kurdish and arab militias fighting is on hold the two sides are in talks the few hundred i asked fighters in want to be evacuated with their families to the hardest stronghold of it in west in syria but the s.d.f. is refusing it once complete surrender. is the last i asked bastin in syria administratively it's long been in ruins i his number plates and now is street. area they control has shrunk considerably and it's clear they have hardly any radios so communication between them is minimal. the i.r.s. fighters in bruce have just two options fight own or go to prison that includes the foreign jihadists among them many germans the s.d.f. says their home countries must now take responsibility fold them. just don't have the resources to try them for the crimes that they've perpetrated against the
8:07 am
syrians and the iraqis. we can just send those arrested back to their home countries. meanwhile i s.y. slightly annoyed hoping to come back to germany and start a new life leonora says she knows that won't be easy. because of all the attacks in fronts germany is almost certainly terrified of having i asked return these back and i'm sure everyone is saying i won't create any problems that could be one or two who do intend to carry out terrorist attacks but as far as i and the women whom i've met in the unicef camp concerned we just want to get home and finally live a peaceful life again. but it's not clear when and of the german i asked members will be able to make their way home from syria and under what conditions you know.
8:08 am
ok let's talk about this story with more with either of you correspondent kate brady following the story for us this morning kate what does german and british law say about the return of its nationals who joined islamic state to wage war in another country well the u.k. is one of the few western countries now that passed a law recently which enables it to revoke the citizenship of british citizens if they're found to be a threat to national security and important to point out if doing so won't actually leave that person state less germany on the other hand has considered implemented a similar measure on several occasions particularly after the terror attacks in germany in recent years but that has never been implemented here so in principle german citizens do have the right to be repatriated here ok well how does germany plan to deal then with the repatriation of this is a long state fighters. well the german interior minister horsy hoffa has now set
8:09 am
out a rather strict set of conditions in order that would see i asked foreign fighters repatriated to germany and the us thought to be around forty i asked foreign fighters currently detained in syria who are holding german passports but they were there has made it clear that they will be on very strict that their return to germany will be very strict conditions both fighters and their families must be able to prove their identification and prove that they wouldn't be a threat to national security here in germany so the plan would be to in to assess each case individually and so also make sure that that person isn't wanted in any of the country ok there are certainly a lot of security concerns with this what challenges to germany face with this plan . well actually proving these feiss identities in the first place will prove to be
8:10 am
quite difficult particularly germany's case there is no consular access at the moment for these fighters in syria and at the same time germany has of course severed diplomatic ties with the syrian government and it also doesn't acknowledge the syrian kurdish autonomous region so actually proving those identity could indeed be difficult as would be then putting any returning i asked vices on trial when they come back of course this debate over of repatriating i asked fighters has been triggered this week by that threat from u.s. president donald trump that he would return that he would release i asked fighters who are currently detained. in kurdish detention if they are not repatriated and then put on trial in the country which they came from which in this case would be germany and that itself would also be a difficult task especially when it would be difficult to find witnesses and
8:11 am
evidence of any crimes that were committed by these i.a.s. feiss in syria ok with the american warning their time is of the essence in this discussion thanks very much. more may still be buried the avalanche occurred in the town of danya in the heart of this was so. officials say the crisis between india and pakistan will be on the agenda of talks between saudi arabia's crown prince and indian leaders delhi saudi arabia has vowed to help ease tensions between the nuclear armed neighbors after last week's bombing in the minister kashmir. dazzling light displays illuminated many chinese cities as the nation mark the end of lunar new year celebrations with the lantern festival palace museum in beijing also known as the forbidden city open to

the general public for night visits for the first time in its ninety four year history. lawmakers in ukraine of pass the constitutional amendment that commits the country to joining the e.u. and nato present petro poroshenko says ukraine will make a formal bid to join the e.u. by two thousand and twenty three although he admitted that date is ambitious the move was welcomed by european council president donald toast but it's likely to anger neighboring russia. while going to russia now and president vladimir putin will be delivering his state of the nation address later today it is a crucial time for the president with opinion polls seeing support for him telling off a less despite voters reelecting the russian leader last year for a fourth term until two thousand and twenty four you know if you travel to putin's hometown of st petersburg to hear what locals think about the city's famed such an icy year was. president putin on russian state television following
8:13 am
his victory in the presidential elections last march he won seventy six percent of the votes nass success awaits us yes. so far though there are a few signs of the success and polls say now less than a year later only a third of russians still trust their president we talked to some people in putin's home city of st petersburg the head of the local youth wing of putin's united russia party says he still backs the president. our president strength lies in his strategy for the development of russia only the killer here but this art history student says there are other reasons for putin's strength. should go ideal he said that a good leader needs to be feared and putin is respected because he is feared as long as people are afraid of him while he will be a strong president. the. president but even if many people
8:14 am
do fear him putin's power is on the decline especially since he backed his government's controversial pension reforms these push up the retirement age as it is millions of pensioners struggle to survive on their pensions. only a strong leader could take such a step. could not have been put off by five or ten years what president putin has chosen to take on the. negatively affects people's quality of life it's made the. another weakness is putin's apparent inability to get a handle on corruption while most russians are seeing their earnings dwindle the powerful elite keeps getting richer. corruption has always been an issue during effect if the illusion will be to decentralize the states and parliamentarian is an m.p. won't allow that are getting it up with. we've had governors and ministers of the russian federation indicted and locked up in the fight against corruption but that
8:15 am
rarely happens elsewhere like in europe of. europe with it. europe in the us are becoming increasingly skeptical of relationships with the west aren't rock bottom another minus point for. russia has always struggled with the west it's partly entity. which would sometimes russia once a better than the west russia and the west will never be friends and the human sense of the word. of. the floor just on the couple of countries that are prepared to work with us on economic terms of that want to invest or not they're the ones we'll work with. putin seems set on controlling everything in russia but his waning popularity seems to be testing that control currently only a minority of russians believe their country is heading in the right direction. i see him every year though each of our gives its freedom of speech award to an

8:23 am
