a raging wildfire on spain's front canary island some 1000 firefighters are battling to control the blades of the flames are still advancing on several fronts officials are calling it fire mental trash. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us we start with a controversial decision here in germany to taken for children born to former fighters of the so-called islamic state earlier today critics of the words handed the children to a german delegation in syria it's the 1st time germany's agreed to accept i asked children from syria other european countries including france and belgium have already done so. departure for germany for children are traveling to the country of their parents who had once joined the so-called islamic state and died now for the

1st time and after tough negotiations with the kurdish led administration the german government is repatriating children born to yes militants. smallish it's a welcome development that for german children who had been in custody in northern syria were able to leave the country today. in addition will advocate for the possibility of other children in the same circumstances to leave syria this essentially concerned small children whose living conditions are far from. the kurdish quality and not hold. 75000 people live in close quarters among them a many i guess followers hygiene and medical care are minimal deceases spread easily german children are among those growing up in these conditions and their mothers want to return home as soon as possible. he says she arrived in syria in 2014 and lived in iraq and di yes control she has been living in a kurdish come with her 2 children for 2 years.

so it's very difficult for the children my son is 4 years old i send him here to school he has to learn something i want to learn something too it's already been 2 years that's time i won't get back i hope we'll get picked up so that we can get a 2nd chance. one out of many stories us pressure on the german government grows to bring more of its citizens back from syria and political correspondent william cross with us tell us more about today's decision why is this decision coming now. well it's coming after a month as we just heard in the report of growing pressure on germany that's really been dragging its feet the governments have been dragging its feet for months now and what to do with german i asked fighters are their families and their kids and their legal rights and coming back to germany now we've been seeing this court ruling that was also mentioned earlier saying that the kids have to come back they

do have a legal right to come back to germany these suits were brought in part by family members grandparents of these of these children who want to see their grandchildren of their relatives returned to germany the reports are saying that they're actually meeting these children now in northern iraq where these children have been brought to under german care and after being checked for that their medically able to do it will be brought back to germany repatriated with their extended family members so what does this mean for the other children with german parents who are still in these camps in syria well that's still very unclear as we heard from in the piece as well as from a press conference on the ground there between german and kurdish officials there does seem to be some kind of plan in the works that will include more of these children more than $100.00 children are estimated to believe to have some kind of right for returning to germany but there's been no confirmed plan yet the german government still needs to go through the very laborious process of checking who

these people actually are confirming their identities which is of course very hard in a conflict zone in a place where people don't really have identity documents and in a place where the german government itself doesn't have consular embassy representation that is a question isn't it you know these countries don't necessarily want these children or their parents for that matter to return home because they fear they might have been radicalized they might commit acts of violence so how dangerous are these former fighters. well of course we have to distinguish between the children of very young children this case they're all under the age of $101.00 is as young as 10 months if not younger and of course their mothers their fathers those who might have actually been involved in i guess fighting it's a bit of a problem either way they could stay in syria in iraq and face the possibility of being radicalized there in the years to come or they could be brought back to germany and the fear is that even if their parents were tried and found to be guilty and spent time in in prison in germany there would be of the chance of

radicalization there or their kids could become radicalized or spread radicalization so there is a very delicate balance here between european and international law human rights law and of course serious national security concerns about who these people are confirming their identities and making sure that they're no threat to germany or the wider european union is a question a question that a lot of european countries are struggling with william how important is it that these children are taken to their parents' countries of origin well many of these children do have extended family members outside of this their parents living in germany and of course psychologists will tell you that these kids need to have a normal life and a chance at a normal life and of course can't be held responsible as minors as such young children for the potential crimes of their parents all right our political correspondent william no ugly crossed following this story for us thank you very much. french president in my own mccall has hosted his russian counterpart vladimir putin for a rare bilateral meeting at a summer residence on the mediterranean coast the talks are aimed at improving
