2:02 pm
mines and booby traps that have been left behind by the iso militants now i want to day live in the d.c. area as all provinces situated just south of the provincial capital and this area has witnessed some of the fiercest fighting between islamic state and syrian forces as government troops battle to push the islamist out syrian army troops successfully reach the outskirts of earlier this month effectively trapping the iowas terrorists inside of the city and of course russian forces have been actively supporting syrian troops to with the russian naval task force launching cruise missile strikes on terrorist positions in the city while dozens of militants have also been killed in a series of russian air strikes across the province in recent weeks and all this comes just one day after the russian general staff announced that islamic state now controls less than eight percent of syria due to major successes of the syrian troops. less than eight percent of syrian territory remains under
2:03 pm
control. or simply will continue its operations against. terrorists. and so what next well as attention is now turning to humanitarian aid massive relief efforts are underway in syria's largest city where the russian military have been so far successfully delivered some seventy four tons of aid supplies to aleppo and damascus in just the last few months back to you. thanks nicky ok the historic nuclear agreement with third is in jeopardy after president trump announced he won't certify tehran's compliance with the deal his decision comes despite the global nuclear watchdog as well as u.s. sun european officials saying iran is keeping its side of the bargain we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real
2:04 pm
threat of iran's nuclear breakout importantly iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal the move means the u.s. congress now sixty days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions against iran as well as come up with new legislation to try and i'm in the nuclear deal but if those negotiations fail trump says' the deal will be terminated which risk undermining the fragile balance the nuclear deal has secured here's why the american president might be considering wrapping up the year cream and. four reasons why trump needs to pick a fight with iran. after all his policy flip flops he needs to stand firm on something iran will do just to save face threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of
2:05 pm
us must work together to isolate. washington's also getting worried by iran's growing influence in the region iran has been allowed to run wild throughout the middle east for the last eight years. but let's not forget money iran the evil enemy cups is so a lot more weapons than the compliant. investments in the united states in our military. communities very happy birthday to you. and the cherry on top rushing iran means pleasing if close friend israel common. will first from iran for decades iran is. threatening the region and causing so much to buy alliance with its soldiers. i want you to know how much we appreciate. the truce in american
2:06 pm
policy on iran which you enunciated so clearly it's very hard to say what his what his goal is his is he trying to go to iran into taking some actually really the pressure on trial is coming from is his biggest sponsor is financial sponsors and fundraisers and they are absolutely all virtually ready for a war with iran while they remain president responded to donald trump's claims by saying it's not up to any single leader to make decisions about a global agreement. this is an international multilateral deal that has been read it fine by the un security council it is a un document is it possible for a president to unilaterally decide to fight this important international deal apparently he's not in the know it is not a document between iran and the us so he can't treat it the way he likes well it
2:07 pm
took nine years of tough negotiations before the deal was finally reached in twenty fifteen a low the standoff over iran's nuclear activity stretched by more than a decade and was widely regarded as one of the world's most urgent crises under wasn't only the us that painstakingly negotiated the terms it was the combined efforts of russia china britain france and germany to the u.s. secretary of state has been trying to rally european allies over trumps this but so far they've mostly reacted angrily. there are a lot of fruit in europe and the region are going to be very supportive presence of united states as many posts not this one it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it we cannot afford as international community as europe for sure to dismantle and nuclear agreement that is working and
2:08 pm
delivering especially now this is a difficult and in our view dangerous signal to the agreement with iran has shown for the first time that it's possible to prevent war through negotiations with the destruction of this agreement would mean that others around the world no longer rely on such treaties it's therefore a danger that goes far beyond iran that we in europe germany france the u.k. and the e.u. we stand by this agreement with iran and we want to preserve the agreement i think it will will further estrange our relations with our european allies it will draw them closer together and i think actually closer to the russians and the chinese just things stand now the iranians have the support of the russians the chinese and all of our european allies it's washington this isolated. russia is concerned by the expansion of america's on t. ballistic missile system stating that it's pushing the world into a new arms race the russian defense ministry put forward its figures out
2:09 pm
a joint briefing with china at the u.n. according to data compiled by moscow there are sixty u.s. country missiles in europe and around one hundred fifty in the asia pacific region the total number though is expected to grow to a thaw in the next five years well a part of her russia's concern is over the so-called prompt global strike system the russian defense ministry sais that the u.s. is closely working on the project as it would not require nuclear weapons but it would just be is destructive with more and all the. if you didn't think the world was scary enough this might just push you over the edge the russian defense ministry says that washington is one step closer to developing it prompt global strike system the pentagon is mome a step closer to the development of approach global strike system such systems are designed to achieve the same results as nuclear weapons so let's break down the
2:10 pm
jargon problem global strike or p.t.s. is a system that can carry out a person guided conventional air strike anywhere in the world within an hour conventional air strike implies dropping projectile such as barrels or steel pipes from high altitudes and high speeds and anything release from the height of over one hundred kilometers instantly turns into a deadly bomb thanks to the gained momentum and explosion equal the power of a nuclear one except no fallout they even coined a term for it kinetic bombardment and here's the kicker kinetic bombardment is not prohibited by either the outer space treaty or the anti-ballistic missile treaty if that's not worrying enough wait till you see the report penned by a congress think tank earlier this year it's packed with possible drawbacks to the system saying that it could in fact prove destabilizing in a crisis for a number of reasons for example the report mentions the possibility of the us as adversaries taking the p.d.s. launch for a nuclear strike which could trigger a nuclear response and of course once one world power obtains a prompt strike system everyone will be racing to be the second pushing the world
2:11 pm
into a new arms race there are concerns by countries that the prompt global strike would allow another country to do a strike on another country without using nuclear weapons as a way to take advantage of these new technologies and that's why that you're seeing this arms race either we need a new agreement between countries or we need to figure out a way to ban any kind of weaponization of space that would not be good for world security and again is just causing another cold war type arms race there's been this. surge in the polls for austria's right wing ahead of sunday's election where a new chancellor could be voted in we've got the details right after this. we are in north dakota we are in the standing rock reservation
2:12 pm
just about a hundred yards from here and we are experiencing full front. loaded the impact of. the standing rock phenomenon. to do so tell you that. i'm telling you. we. will walk.
2:13 pm
back with our to international for months. trying to help orphans in iraq reunite with relatives in russia the youngsters are believed to have been brought to iraq by their parents who joined the state but many lost their immediate family in the military operations to rid the country of to terrorists. the. one of the new kind of third grade dessert and these three.
2:14 pm
i still. think that god put. that in good order to get that to work on. them at the moment by city bus i just love this i say it's a nice true shoot i cherish it should give the right. to see.
2:15 pm
five more children have returned home to russia after they were recognized by their extended family but as neil harvey fungi there is a huge difference of opinion when it comes to how they often should be treated not . first and foremost these are children not responsible for the actions of their many fathers or their mothers should be treated as. vigils in their own right protections on of the convention of the rights for children if we look at past experiences like the children of to use a horrible example them out so use those children were effectively reeducate and they were reintegrated into the society boy you know showing them the benefits of society i'm showing them the wrongs of what was. carried out in their parents' names those around about five thousand given to children in the in the caliphate you have to think about what constitutes the age of the top some of these
2:16 pm
children are being used as suicide. and if they are twelve years old does that still constitution. your guess was quite right about what happens to the nazis but the nazis were completely obliterated they ended the second world war we have got fifty thousand. syria and other areas that have come through the borders ass are open borders. with the so-called refugees and economic migrants what are we going to do about them because they're not going anywhere so i actually have to take issue with what with with what janice just said there is a very strong consensus in the international law. according to the united nations convention on the rights of the child a child is defined as anyone under the age of eighteen years. of age
2:17 pm
and that means the definition is very very clear i know what your definition is but the reality of laws in individual company countries doesn't actually reflect what the international lorries and i think international law and needs to be a no no but remember you're not going to. know there's no there's no question about that i mean you're making a valid buggering arise you're mixing up two issues with respect because on the one hand the do. if a nation of child is very clear the age of criminal responsibility which is raising just now is an important issue and but that doesn't mean that if you commit a crime you're no longer a child i mean that non sequitur i want to hear from the russian children's rights commissioner she was saying that it's still possible to fight the radical ideas that have been instilled into children by the how this let's just hear what was. done was arrested got the right influence good intentions and outlook of relatives and they take care of such young children can reduce or even count all the radical
2:18 pm
ideas indoctrinated into them in iraq is well known that the vast resources of the child's psyche and now for a high chance of rehabilitation. so i mean would you go along with the maybe a lot of patriots in some of these children may have seen family members killed they may have been told to hate the west or hate certain religions or mentalities do you think they can still be saved. i hope they can i'm a mother of two and as i said the great camps and i've been to cal a my heart goes out to the but the very very careful how we rehabilitate the child bodies in our country is that we've still got seventy thousand children. now we don't have the facilities we don't have the psychiatry if we don't have the foster care a success well the challenges can be addressed by by proper therapy you know by the
2:19 pm
surrounding of you know a warm environment for a child it's incredibly important for a child to have support the most important thing for a child and i watched with all friends of mine who worked with those children in the particularly the refugee youth service in in the comp and how incredibly important it was sitting down beside a child and not going to try to talk and really you know allowing them to open up and do you with the issues that they've seen you know support for children is that the only way forward or the worse what's the alternative that we put a tiger on their uncle that we criminalize these children that is not going to change anything it's going to make them worse it will it will make them turn towards what will feed their anger which is violence ok let's go to the racing out of auxilary i'll let you know that anything here that convinces me. austria is right wing is once again in contention for a place in government head of sunday's vote poll suggest
2:20 pm
a strong showing for the anti immigration freedom party. grouping is currently in second place let's take a wall here you can look here on these are the latest polls that we have in front is the centrist people's party thirty three percent. they're holding its leader and current foreign minister kurt say's if he becomes chancellor he will end power sharing with the social democrats and then seek a coalition with any other party including perhaps the right wing with which he shares a strong immigration stance the latest results in austria there really only adding to concern over the rise of populism at the heart of europe these are some examples from recent times in france the stolen immigration hardliner and nationalist marine le pen was a leading contender in this year's presidential election of course and then last month germany saw a right wing party enter parliament for the first time in nearly sixty years and now austria may be about to follow suit.
2:21 pm
but. there is a history of frustration with. during the global recession and twenty nine. until the stream of migrants into anything. nervously increased popular discontent . following events in austria or. there's a lot of intrigue over whether or not the right wing freedom party will do as well as its sisters elsewhere in europe in france and in germany form of fringe parties
2:22 pm
making it big on the political scene the us skeptic anti immigrant freedom party seriously complicates things for the leading center right people's party the v p o v p started to hash in its agenda to attract voters i'm here to pro freedom party rally the last one before sunday's parliamentary election in which the party is expected to come second many here accuse one of its main rivals of stealing some of its proposals and if nobody is coming into the country without registration without a passport no one should be allowed to enter austria i list will do everything possible to stop illegal immigration i am asking that social benefits for non austrians be significantly reduced i just will do everything we can to end the abuse of our social welfare system by immigrant the people's party has always been the pro european party quite conservative and now they're copied to the
2:23 pm
nationalist program after freedom party they're now not trying to be like the blue party they're trying to be against foreign. multicultural things that's copy paste party because of freedom party was successful and so far it's working well for the people's party with its new young leader sebastian kurtz at the helm presenting himself as a bold reformist and not shying away from bowing the policies of the controversial freedom party it's slated to win sunday's parliamentary election some expose suggests curt's might even approach the freedom party to form a coalition government not least of all because of its fallout with its previous partner the social democrats i don't think that a big coalition the collision between conservatives and social democrats will come again because no one. i think there will be a change people want change people will vote change the european political landscape is shifting with parties that were on the fringes will do even more
2:24 pm
