this has been. the worst there's. been from two hundred seventy islamist extremists returned to the country a much effort to. fly. at this hour video appears online showing the arrest of a sixteen year old german girl to join this state she could not face the death penalty in iraq. to force the but california i'm going to on the right side.
1:01 pm
coming from the russian capital city every hour of the day this is our to international my names you know neal a pleasure to welcome to the program our top story over two hundred fifty islamist extremists have recently come back to france after fighting in iraq and syria some have been arrested now in the courts are currently plowing through the cases of others the numbers were revealed by the french interior minister who also highlighted the terror threat remains extremely in an attempt to try and rein in extremism france had opened its first day radicalization center almost a year ago but the facility has already hit the buffers sharla dubin ski reports. it was billed as frances. with just modest it was the country's first radicalisation center when it opened last year ati's.
1:02 pm
was here. this is rehab for extremists once inside psychologists say it will provide therapy and counselors will teach students about this isn't ship. i am. i i have heard. that if no small thing this center should be located somewhere much less populated there is a school just eight hundred metres away but mission of separate i don't think it's an intelligent move to put in the ridiculous zation center next to a nuclear power station it's terrifying and i'm against it. trying to fix the problem but it's about a kilometer away from the nuclear plant. but the old decision they aren't terrorists they have only been interrogated and solved by police. he was already told that evidently there wouldn't be any violent people
1:03 pm
that there would be only those who had the early stages of credit causation. but just months later the shutters down so what did it go wrong. at a cost of two point five million us pay year knowing that people were treated none finished the course one resident from this center was eating a respite for having links to those behind the paris tanks. and fifty one. from his rehabilitation and since february not a single person is being here the deed radicalise sation so did this venture off of the money. it is a complete fiasco everything is to be rethought everything is to be reconstructed decoding to people will see me putting it mildly yes i would say
1:04 pm
this is a fiasco. money spent this way is a waste there are so many other things to do but to spend it on radicalized people know there are other associations and other centers to spend money on. this could not have turned out well if it is organized this way just letting people in and convincing them to think the other way or to see differently there are four or five people at once this is too expensive but residents say based on their pleas that the center it's closed because it's nothing but. i was against this center from the beginning and i am happy it is now closed this center should not have been here there is a nuclear plant near here i think the location was inappropriate as it is quite close to the town to the kids this is too close to houses and not very secure and were not properly informed we did not receive any information many people sold their houses because of this center
1:05 pm
a complete failure that's how many people are describing this project and many and now left wondering if france has a concrete solution to the estimated fifteen thousand citizens who have been radicalized in this country. to me since the france. or terrorism expert doug weeks was consulted by the french authorities about opening this center we spoke to him earlier and he told us what went wrong. the french have historically not taken american proactive and approach one comes to engage in what people when they find or label. us really up until the tax in two thousand and fifteen and then very unwilling to try and actually stem the problem that was developing following the two thousand and fifteen attacks
1:06 pm
and parents there was a renewed interest in trying to. overcome only hearing something on a more proactive warning and so the french government commissioned a small group to look into what other countries around europe were doing when the french announced that they were going to create new centers in a manner that they actually did and i think everybody that works with him this community and is knowledgeable about it was shocked that the french were in ten minutes from taking an aim to it so i don't think it is really a surprise to anybody other than the french government to be fair but another european country germany is also dealing with its own cases of radicalization video has emerged of the moment a teenage german girl who joined isis was arrested in iraq and paraded through the streets of mosul.
1:07 pm
sixteen year old linda ansel was seized just over a fortnight ago along with other female isel supporters could now face the death penalty our europe correspondent peter oliver brings us for. this latest video that's emerged shows a sixteen year old linda ventile he's originally from a small town just to the northeast of dresden in the east of germany now she's been taken away on what's been described as a walk of shame on her way to a detention facility by the iraqi military by iraqi troops there she says that she wants to return to germany that she wishes she'd never joined islamic state in the first place we're starting to piece together just how she got there it's understood she was radicalized online when she was around fifteen years old before deciding that she wanted to go off to be
1:08 pm
a jihadi bright and went off to iraq where that's happened the question is now over where she will face more questioning will it be in a rock or will it be in germany certainly dos in her hometown in germany think that she deserves the chance to come home and face justice here the speech in which the girl is sixteen and got into this mess at fourteen fourteen and a half via the internet so whatever i think she should return everyone has the right to make a mistake and everyone should get their second chance. if you look at the case of linda it's clear that young people in our country are not capable of defending themselves against extremist ideology because of a lack of identity and education this is lead to a situation where a fifteen year old girl is ready to fight in a so-called holy war. however she remains in custody in iraq which is spacing questioning over her well affiliation with offenses there is also the small chance that she could face the death penalty in iraq that would be for being
1:09 pm
a member of the islamic state however the german authorities are working very hard to try and get her back here to on german soil to face questioning here it's worth noting that that would be a full investigation as to what she what role she actually played while she was with islamic state it's understood that she may well have been part of a morality police in charge of making sure that women were dressed in accordance with the the ideologies of the the islamic state group it's very likely that she may face a lengthy prison sentence here in germany if she's found guilty of having connections or if she's found guilty certainly of of having fought for the islamic state in any capacity but there is just one of hundreds of germans that went off to joy in islamic states of one capacity or another at least include many women. and young girls as well who went off there with the express intention of being jihadi brights
1:10 pm
certainly defensive who turned seventeen at the end of this month wanting to return to germany following her experience with ice or close up. living on a brutal massacre in a village in northern afghanistan and is thought to have killed at least forty people including children the province's governor says the attack took place after the village was captured by an unknown group of militants which included foreign fighters they're suspected of being a mix of taliban and eisel insurgents elsewhere in the country fourteen hundred internally displaced civilians have arrived in seeking shelter they have become. victims of the taliban and u.s. strikes some have been describing their ordeal.
1:11 pm
islamic state groups brutally attacked civilians and the afghanistan national then foreign forces came to the battlefield then the u.s. dropped the mother of all bombs on the village what is left is ruins. it was a lot of water to come up you should be sure there'd be a bit of. isis militants slaughtered our own call saying he was a spy who fled since they threatened to kill us the next day. islamic state militants slaughtered our five cousins some front of us they could have come and killed this any time too so we left our home.
1:12 pm
first isis attacked our village then came american airstrikes now we don't have anything everything is destroyed. or fighting has intensified in afghanistan vis ear with the taliban stepping up its attacks we discussed the issue of jamal wakim now in international relations professor at beirut's lebanese university he say's a u.s. air strikes are not effective in countries in the root coals of the violence. i believe this is the primary victims of the war going on in afghanistan and as for the world isis. the taliban and other predators groups in afghanistan. will. go into the human lives. would be united states which claims
1:13 pm
that the respect human rights. rights to promote democracy is less about human lives especially when it comes to an un-american to human lives it's not easy to wipe i would these groups you need. would again on the grassroots of the problem fighting radical. of all this sign as you might expect to see in a window had posters seeing that killing animals is violent and unjust is probably not one of them but a shop in california has agreed to display just the message after vegan activists rallied at the premises for months carrying out gruesome stunts. like the only. individual crime nor the founding of this time off and
1:14 pm
that is not only putting. on the beat. as well as forcing the owner to display the anti meat sign in the show demonstrators from the group direct actions everywhere are demanding it become a vegan but tree it's unclear though what that means they also want the right to carry out on the mall rights demonstrations there twice a year. and the shop belongs to monaco kino and her husband they say since their rights that are being used describes the activists as extremists carrying out ethical extortion they begin to activist group spokesman explain their mission. we know that we are on the side of of justice we are on the side of compassion and nonviolence we know that the people don't actually want to support violence towards animals and it's only because we we live in a society that that normalizes it so much that it is allowed to persist we intend
1:15 pm
to make berkeley california the united states leader on animal rights issues we intend to liberate the city of berkeley by banning all violence towards animals by twenty twenty five in effect banning meat in berkeley as part of a broader plan to pass a constitutional amendment for animal rights and human discrimination that's pervasive in our society well and to meet protestors have resorted to extreme measures for years to discourage people from eating animals including some pretty gut wrenching stones be prepared though even though lots of the following is fake dumped the images are certainly extremely graphic. but. american comedian mark klein say's that the going to divest tend to attack small
1:16 pm
businesses because they fear the consequences of targeting big selling companies and the protests were a form of extortion because essentially they were saying. do this for us or we won't stop harassing you so yeah that is expression it's kind of like how the mafia used to say pay us for protection or we're going to destroy your shop that's going to feels protesters chose a small butcher shop because it's a smaller target so they feel like they could have a bigger impact a smaller shop would be easier for them to extort even a big farm or a big factory if they chose mcdonald's there's a chance that mcdonald's lawyers might get involved and ultimately these people are their kind of just children who are scared of consequences so they'll only do something if they feel like it's going to work out. the un condemns the latest earth strike and war ravaged yemen where it sees the rules of armed conflict are

1:20 pm
say that saudi arabia is their main partner in the region so far we do not believe that has been a clear risk of breach of international humanitarian law at the moment which will close. the threshold has been crossed what matters is the strength of our relationship with saudi arabia on issues like dealing with terrorism on counterterrorism issues it is that relationship that has helped to keep people on the streets of britain. for middle eastern affairs analyst abdel bari atwan say yes britain should stop selling arms to study arabia to prevent more civilian deaths but saudi warplanes are bombing parties there are bombing funeral schools hospitals open markets so i believe they are really responsible for the miserable situation over at least twenty five million yemenis i believe britain by supplying saudi with a munitions armament i believe they are but this is. old festivity
