therefore not entitled to return and the 36 security concerns stated security concerns that it's not safe to bring them back. so the question that case is wanted to bring down the very human rights states you say should not take them back. so i would say a couple of things so 1st of all the vast majority of the individuals held in that have are children most of them are under the age of 12 and a large percentage of them are under the age of 6 none of these children including german children need choices to go anywhere choices were made for them and it is particularly incumbent on states to protect the rights of their children to including their children overseas and in doing so advancing the rights that every child is treated equally no matter who their parents are and the 2nd more broad categories the category of women and this is one of the reason i and other experts state that we have to have individual assessments made the reason for that is we
4:16 pm
are aware that a large percentage of the women who traveled to iraq in syria were trafficked there they were groomed unlined or they traveled in situations that under domestic violence laws we would call coercive control as a result of the desires of a husband a spouse a father they were in situations where they could not exercise complete choice and freedom over where they went or didn't go and thirdly what i would say is if we are seriously interested in as we should be and in fact germany has been leading the way on super serious really interested in prosecution for the serious crimes that have taken place in syria and iraq that will only happen if we bring individuals home if we if we take them home and we take the evidence we have charged them with the crimes they should be charged with and ensure that they are held responsible for the acts that we say they have that oversee let's see how about the conciseness
4:17 pm
that we can get through 1st of all we talk about the mothers and the children didn't choose to go their mothers did so should or forty's split the family or could choose to keep the family together a while those assessments are being made. so i would say again this is where like individual assessments are really important and many states are doing them it is actually in some ways unbelievable that the most advanced democracies with the grades has to do this kind of assessment like far behind countries with much less capacity so in fact the idea that individual assessment can't be done hasn't been done isn't being done currently by many states but is not being to your state points to a real dereliction of obligation the 2nd thing i would say is knowing in the general yes i just want to just see if we can get through a few of these i'm talking about individual assessments being made presumably you think those should be done in the home country why can't they be done where they
4:18 pm
are in the camps by the authorities who are holding them so i think what i would see is the authorities who are holding them are non-state actors not recognised by anyone in conditions that meet the definition of torture under international laws found by un entities including mine so it's a little odd that we have western states saying we allow our nationals to be subject to process by non-state actor groups who are holding them in conditions that constitute torture and that would be adequate i don't think we would accept that in any other circumstance and we shouldn't accept it here that the circumstances of course though being about visas are people who as far as we can tell supported terrorists who his sole aim was to bring down the various societies that they are now or say they want to return to bear are it is it is not quite as straightforward as that is it. i actually would just fundamentally disagree with
4:19 pm
your premise that over 30000 children supported terrorists these children were born in situations that are not of their making they are children born in situations of armed conflict that countries like germany in other contexts argue vociferously for their rights and so it's it's a real harvesting of obligation here that's inconsistent with the facts on the ground again i would stress that many of these people in these camps are victims of terrorism victims of terrorism entitled to the same kind of protections that we offer other victims of terrorism many have been raped and many have been subject to extreme violence and so i think it's a mis shaping of the narrative took all these individuals including thousands of young children supporters of terrorism it distorts the human rights and the obligations of states to in fact hold on to and implement their obligations even in
4:20 pm
the hardest of circumstances. on the security issue. you can a knowledge the problem so any elected government is going to have in bringing back to the country people with their children who chose to leave to to support terrorists that's that's a hard sell for any politician in a democracy i guess i would just like challenge the framing children to choose to leave to support terrorists that language alone is extreme forget where i deliberately want to lose your children from the statement that i made i was talking about specific groups i specifically talked about the people who took them over there so let's put the children to one side a little talk about the let's all hope to talk more than. so again that's exactly what i'm saying many of these women that you're talking about as terrorists were women who were traveled in traffic as children to syria and iraq so again it's
4:21 pm
really important that we don't create long categories in assessing them but looking at the security issues and my mandate deals with security services and and intelligence services every day that's our bread and butter and let's be really clear the position of many intelligence and security services across the world including in europe is that we should bring them back because in order to secure our long term security it is in our interest to ensure their return their rehabilitation and their integration so if we were to listen to our security services and and any gauge our long term security interests we would also be really returning and rehabilitating as many many countries have done already that's very clear professor thank you so much for joining us professor finola me a lawyer who's un special rapporteur. now to turkey which is currently under a mission wide coronavirus lockdown with people under orders to stay at home for 3
4:22 pm
weeks until the 17th of may and the rules apply to everyone except foreign tourists very exempt from the curfew and free to walk the streets and see the sights almost as though they were on holiday you'll hear reports. this is eastern bull's most visited tourist attraction but hardly anyone is here these days and there is a very relaxed atmosphere instead of the usual crowds of thousands. it's not only like this at the hardiest sophia but everywhere in the city the few tourists who are here right now pretty much have to themselves. this is there's a 1000. sites there's a good time to be tourists we don't have many travel in the 1st 2 just from the crane at the moment and istanbul and turkey is one of the many countries that are
4:23 pm
open for us that's why we decided to come here after like a year. to lock down is a great time to visit istanbul the city is much calmer now under normal circumstances it's very crowded but that is tough. but while those on the cation are happy many locals are annoyed they have to adhere to a strict curfew until mid may. they can only leave their homes for grocery shopping and other essential needs and going to work requires a special permit. it's unfair my kids are asking why are the tourists allowed to be outside while we are stuck at home. he said. the tourists know that we are a high risk country i'm fine with them coming because they know the coronavirus situation here. we are threatened with have to fines if we leave our homes
4:24 pm
but the tourists can walk around freely that's not fair but there is nothing we can do about it. turkey has one of the highest coronavirus infection rates in europe and that's why many people here support a strict lockdown they just don't understand why tourists are exempt but the government is trying everything to keep turkey attractive as a holiday destination because the economy urgently needs a successful some a season. bringing down the number of infections without driving foreign visitors the way many of those who earn their living from tourism think that's a good strategy. like the 70th. sophia who have barely earned anything for months. this is them as the pandemic has ruined the tourism industry here but as long as there are still some visitors there is hope at the moment there are just a few but we are happy about every single one is stand bull can accommodate many
4:25 pm
guests but 90 percent of the city's capacity is not being used right now. none of the sellers here expect the holiday season like before the pandemic. but many are hoping that a bit more life returns to the huggy is sophia once the lockdown is over. thousands of people are flocked to a volcano in iceland to try and seeds or inspiring eruptions even though countries are the pasha locked out there are plenty of foreign tourists amongst the sightseers. was once a study flows no change to a spectacular gaze and it's not visible from the capital wreck of it around 60 kilometers away. love this out of fishes in the fog does she act volcanic system fountains of molten rock. in the olden days the icelandic people told tales of the craters being the footprints of giants and of dragons

. to join us $100.00 days since taking part in a cool myanmar's military junta still remains in charge of the country meanwhile its ousted civilian leader aung san suu kyi is still in detention denied in person meetings with her legal team and now ordered to appear in court later this month a parallel national unity government has been declared a terrorist group as has a people's defense force being set up to confront security forces still citizens continue their protest against the military regime responsible for the deaths of more than $750.00 civilians so far. a candlelight vigil one of many that were held in the weekend in pressure trashing. since the.
4:32 pm
power on the. that day the demonstrations that shermer sign of abating. that despite an increasingly violent response by security forces. the bloodiest day of the crackdown was a night march on forces day around 100 protesters were killed in one day ellen. since the coup more than 750 civilians have been killed and thousands have been arrested. human rights groups say the military is committing atrocities even possible crimes against humanity international leaders have repeatedly expressed concern and condemnation. today i call on the me and our military to stop the repression immediately release the prisoners and the violence
4:33 pm
respect human rights and the will of the people expressed in recent elections. but global pressure has so far failed to impact the situation on the ground last month when tele dam in on the 9th was invited to jakarta for crisis talks with leaders of other southeast asian nations. but the talks yielded little except for a call for dialogue at an end to violence and the appointment of a special envoy for only days later the military regime undermined those resolutions in the morning as well as reality as he and wants to send an envoy to me. but right now we are prioritizing the security and stability of our country and the yellow you so we will cooperate with the un to have its envoy in our country once we have a secure and stable situation. was i suspect looks remote the determination of the people of myanmar to stand up against the military
4:34 pm
dictatorship no matter what the cost appears on. and. as says the will of the army to hold on to power. and joining me now is david an activist in me and jose hiding his identity for safety reasons david it's been about 100 days since the military took pot in myanmar and nearly the same number of days of protest against it have the protests made a difference. i would like to say yes because every day if you're reading about it sleep personnel including hiring this 'd is silly from their status and i think that has something to do with their testing dean and the elderly build our lives are like. you have stay out you don't use their. healing says the state has repeatedly said that they have had it propaganda against us and when they finally saw us as these days in the out where does harry or our love our
4:35 pm
lives it's not starting to share their outer space ship and i also see that happening it's a masterpiece it's snowing that isn't of our international pressure also that's been brought to bear on the military you have sanctions from the e.u. or something your leaders have also got involved with you serve a big international pressure is working at all on the military street frankly i don't think it's working at all because u.s. . military. is very live so business associations with us in the e.u. instead they have a lot of investments with china and russia which they have been now receiving a lot of help from and also the us in. its it's it's nearly. yearly a move meant that the ministry can't you know take its time to get it more pressure
4:36 pm
from it that's how i see it because on the day they generally outlined a greet you will stop the violence or until now as we need 25 people that has been killed. not the u. one has warned in the recent past start a serial style conflict could occur to me in my do you think the situation is such that it could lead to 7 wrong it's it's it's it's our selective yes it's in the body receipt is at it's kitchen you can use it and not it's aids a lot of people are starting. to learn other countries that the body repositories and a lot of it is just has been set on fire and we could see from sort of feeds that thousands and thousands of villagers get injured scatty killed by the air raids and and thousands more fleeing to other countries so 'd i can confidently say that if it's people have seen this kind of atrocities could move towards the mainland of
4:37 pm
the countries even then it capital cities briefly david what about aung san suu true shooter means that in detention issues to a popular figure among the protesters i will say all men stopped it. we want this all to be free so i would like to see how populated she started and since now the whole family has seen the real meat and we get into the military said we now have shipped it. more towards getting federal democracy a lot say. david who leave it there for the bombing but thank you so much for joining us. now to afghanistan which has been gripped by a baby of violence as foreign forces withdraw the taliban has now announced a 3 day ceasefire across the country to mark this week's holiday an announcement
4:38 pm
that comes after a weekend of bloodshed on saturday a bomb attack outside a girls' school in kabul killed more than 50 people most of them students and. really families have been burying the dead it was a deadliest attack in more than a year the government has claimed the taliban which condemned the attack and denied the sponsibility. the attack highlights of granite stands for kerry's future especially for young people many are scared about what life will look like once the u.s. military leaves fears are growing that all progress made in the last few decades could be eradicated. 24 year old have fisa but money is a member of the national mood thai team she trains about $70.00 students at a sports club in western kabul and she says she's scared about losing the progress they've gained 3 years of hard work. but on up on we of the women of
4:39 pm
afghanistan want nationwide peace in this country and we do not want to go back to the past the dark past the taliban imposed on women when they weren't allowed to study or play sports i mean they didn't even allow women to go shopping but what's wrong how do you. have peace it is worried the foreign troop withdrawals would endanger her life and those of the girls she trains are more a myth that the situation we're living in now is frightening some nights i even have insomnia while thinking about what will happen when i go to the club tomorrow . a taliban return to power could also spell the end of independent media and the country many journalists and media workers have been directly targeted in recent months at least 11 were killed in afghanistan and 2020 many have left the country. no threat man saw as a 29 year old news presenter who works with one of afghanistan's leading t.v.

outlets he says afghanistan still means a lot of help. given the fragility of afghanistan's security situation i do not think it is the right time for the americans to leave afghanistan because as you know the war is still going on in the country some of the root causes of the war have not yet been solved with all the drugs smuggling and mining they're all important factors that prolonging the war he worries about his industry and his own future here and says he may also be forced to emigrate because of threats against him. to young afghans relying on their country to provide them with a stable future but deeply worried that it won't. the coronavirus been done because hits the performing arts especially hard social distancing laws have forced theaters the world over to shut their doors for one dance company in japan
4:41 pm
it was a challenge answered by creativity they came up with a safe and novel way for their audience to experience their performance. their keeping their distance better still up close like a 4 year peeping through a letterbox still unclear answers and an intimate closeness. 6 6 born going to the east you feel a kind of excitement like in the animal kingdom like a predator watching its prey ok well that's in any plans to. 6 get in a person's thoughts and feelings are communicated solely through the eyes. the theater has 30 seats the actors from the outside in
4:42 pm
a natural setting the audience keeps to the correct corona social distance the show is called the peeping curtain a peep show is always somewhat seedy exciting and tents. pandemic no not at all it's related to the pandemic that in times of social anxiety people want rules punishment surveillance even if we're highlighting that you had steak that you can still see. the whole audience gets to sit in the front row. well in this piece it feels like we're taking on the role of researchers that are observing the actors studio not giving. the artists aren't making any money with this project but simply not performing is also not an option the theater is creating a closeness through distance something that has become uniquely possible during the pandemic. but it is more than the doubletalk of all the pleasure
4:43 pm
a show about one of the same time that you learned about. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update. on t w. can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you in her last years german sausage i will bring you i'm going to a math course as you've never heard her before surprised yourself with what is possible who is magical really what moves and also who talked to people who followed her along the way i admire those and critics alike how is the world's most
4:44 pm
powerful woman shaping her legacy joining us from eccles law stops. india's outbreak is spreading neighboring nepal is now recording $57.00 times more daily cases than last month. both infection and death rates are at record highs. the coronavirus is overwhelming nepal hospitals have to have enough beds stuff have to treat patients outside the old realities. for a sick. last few years coming true as a nationwide service a few saxons. still to the brink of collapse. the red cross
4:45 pm
warns of a human catastrophe in nepal. welcome to the show one bed for zola millions of polys work in india but many are returning home due to the lock downs and lack of work a lot are also bringing an unwanted present for families and friends with them covert 19 cases have exploded in border towns in the capital gap and 200 kilometers from the border prevent tory i'm run out of space bodies are being burnt up pies in public places we checked in with b.j. acharya from the johns hopkins university school of medicine and i asked him who's to blame all the pollies returning home from india or india itself. i think you're having me i don't think it's a blame game to be honest because the corridors circulating in the amanda valley way beyond the good never actually was under control the same way it was in india i
4:46 pm
think it was easier to sort of blame it on the porous border and sort of differ on the responsibility of the government and the authority. that is what i think was frankly going on because political rallies were going on religious festivals are allowed marriages big marriages with hundreds of people were allowed for since numbers like started to playing last year and even up to like the last 3 weeks or so people are still gathering for engagement parties like weddings 2 big rallies were happening the political parties were like going out in full force so i think it's fair to like blame on some of the people just going back back and forth from indiana power are you talking about the situation in nepal where rallies were going on and political rallies and gatherings and events yes and in kind of alley where the numbers actually never went down they were always like people having covered they were going to the hospitals just not the scale of. rate of patients
4:47 pm
down but you know went down and the political leaders including her prime minister never actually address the core issues as you know just a couple of weeks ago he was saying if you could. leave and guard live coverage go away the national t.v. wow so we can turn back time but what's the government doing now has it changed its tune is a taking a different tack is it clamping down. they have initiated a lockdown. and tried to like stem the flow of people but. like last year the made a rash decision saying our everyone. should lock down and that what that led is people from villages and far away places they had to like leave government to because they wouldn't have a place to burn like to make a living and they are left early 500000 people left in the day and i wonder how many of them were like us in dramatic carriers so they're like taking cover from
4:48 pm
all across the country now and within 2 weeks we have seen more than nearly $100000.00 cases going up the death rate has climbed more than like 250 percent. 2 3rd of the country is like high or higher risk of called it right now so it is actually like i think that is a bigger super spreader event in my opinion in this situation sounds a lot is that how you describe it it is it is very dire i've been talking to my friends and colleagues physicians doctors like other activists and people are burned out they're frustrated. just on that is to me the prime minister had it interview with c.n.n. where he people for being negligent which is kind of giving up a responsibility as a leader saying like this is how we're going to come out of this and he basically in situations under control and it is telling not under control so what are people
4:49 pm
doing to cope and how are people coping how can they cope. so a lot of young volunteers have risen up to this moment gives me i didn't have a feeling of what happened after the earthquake in 2015 where in there was also a crisis and we had to come up with like solutions right away there are different faces groups which are active connecting people there's a group of people who are running a website called liquid connect. where you can request housing food because you need a caretaker for your family member to be in the hospital but then they don't have a place for the caretaker to stay because of covert lockdown so people are cooking meals at home they're like supplying meals to the local hospitals we're all across the world like i swear it's like raising money trying to get oxygen concentrator in the foundation that i work with american upon medical foundation we just raise $100000.00 to staff
4:50 pm
a mass isolation center in the clinic clinical care center along with the government and the army so you know all of us are like trying to pitch in but we need to have like a central authority who's like directing all of these like fragmented some word services and i think that is what is lacking. in my opinion let's see if they can get their act together i hope so b.j. tahlia joining us from the johns hopkins university school of medicine thank you very much thank you for and thank you for having me and the news just in complicating the political situation in nepal or maybe even improving it a prime minister has lost a vote of confidence in polland fighting to show he has enough support to stay in office well the coronavirus meantime matches on managing to invade every corner of the globe even the world's highest mountain everest as tourists gear up to make the world's most famous climb and you've changed at that awaits them. last year the pandemic devastated nepal's tourism industry so this year authorities have eased
4:51 pm
quarantine rules and issued more than $400.00 climbing permits a new record that maybe allowing the virus to spread uncontained on everest to try to stop this climbers are not allowed to socialize before they start their absent and customary religious ceremonies to pray for say fix the dishes are now smaller more private affairs but the local sherpas guides and cooks who depend on tourism and climbing for their livelihoods are worried. we're working here cities and we're making sure we follow all protocols so that we can save ourselves from cold at 19 and it's only you know a lot of good john knows that although you try not to mingle we used to have a lot of fun at base camp we would sing and dance. but we don't have any of that now just we keep to ourselves and speak only within our teams. to stop them
4:52 pm
some of the good and the last health professionals at everest base camp say they do not have the capacity to test for the disease dozens of people have been flown off base camp in recent weeks and at least 2 tested positive afterwards yet the government has yet to confirm a single official code case on everest. all the sides making it to the top of the world today is something else climbers could do in a poll has asked trick is to bring back their antioxidant tanks which they usually abandon on the slopes and see if they'll take on the extra load meantime a team of mountaineering guides is setting up a separation line at the peak before climbers attempt to reach the summit from the chinese side or come in contact with anyone or anything from the nepalese side. in other news germany is making the johnson and johnson one shot vaccine available to
4:53 pm
all adults it'd only been recommended for people over 60 because of blood clots in younger recipients the government is now adopting the same approach as with the astra zeneca shot in a move to get more people inoculated germany has managed to get the 3rd wave under control in recent days and is trying to wrap up its vaccination rollout. time to answer more of your questions now over to our science correspondent there williams. what proposals are there to finance production and distribution of vaccines to countries not able to afford them. the central proposal to do this is what's called the kovacs initiative it was set up around a year ago by a coalition of different agencies among them the world health organization to help ensure access even for the world's poorest countries to the tools that they need to fight covert 19 including vaccines that have been authorized by the w.h.o.
4:54 pm
kovacs is being funded by a number of wealthy countries as well as private institutions like the bill and melinda gates foundation back in february gano was the 1st country to receive vaccines sponsored by the initiative a couple of months on the kovacs is still far from living up to its promise for a number of reasons the primary one is that in a market where vaccines remain in short supply money talks and the countries that pledged to help provide access to poorer nations have snapped up almost all the vaccine being made straight off of production lines so far around half of the available doses have gone into arms in those wealthier country. for instance in germany over 30000000 doses have been distributed until now that's around 2 and
4:55 pm
a half percent of all vaccinations given so far worldwide in the democratic republic of congo on the other hand which has a larger population fewer than $5000.00 doses have been getting so kovacs is still falling far short of the initiatives stated goals even though practically every expert healthcare says that in a globalized world leaving less wealthy nations out now could end up costing us some or even all of the progress that we've made so far. eric williams that i'm been frizzle and thanks for watching stay safe and see you again soon.
