but i'm. not sure he's new breaks. are. the u.k. is split over the case of a young i still bride has three week old baby died in the syrian refugee camp after her citizenship was revoked. which is citizen the baby who dog. because i would go home or didn't do anything to bring that child back to the u.k. . we did the rowing he put the safety of this country first and foremost human rights watch accuses the rocky and kurdish authorities so full teenie torturing youngsters suspected of having links to islam a state. and they had an infamous u.s. security company once known as blackwater the long lasting conflict in afghanistan

could still be won but only if washington and want to handle the conflict. coming to life from moscow this is our national welcome to the program. to more british women who are married to islam extent fighters have been stripped of their citizenship they are currently being held in a sewer in detention center and it comes after the death of the three week old son of feisal bright shamim a beggar whose citizenship was revoked by the british home secretary a decision for which he was both criticized and praised for. the tragic death of baby germ is a stain on the conscious of this government it's against international law to make someone stateless and to leave the noble young woman and an innocent child in

a refugee camp where we know infant mortality to be high is morally reprehensible the home secretary failed the british child and he has a lot to answer for it's absolutely tragic that a baby has died and of course i understand this is a really terrible problem but on the other hand the job of the home secretaries to protect all the people in the united kingdom if you have had advice and what was right thing to do and i totally support his decision we failed as a country to safeguard the child this was an entirely avoidable death of a british citizen there was no attempt to help by the home office i think it's shocking how the home secretary has treated this situation so i mean about goma is now a former british third is that of bangladeshi origin she left the u.k. in twenty fifteen to join i thought at the age of fifteen back on was pregnant in a syrian refugee camp earlier last month when she said she wanted to return home to

have her baby adding she never regretted joining i fell. and she's not the only one while the therion thirty of burgoo the remains the last stronghold of ice still in the country some of the militants wives that refused to believe the caliphate as doomed but there was little sympathy for the women from the gas with spoke to. go blank peace walking away with pitiful sentences she would have walked away with a pitiful sentence in comparison we also are absolutely no might be her word that she didn't do anything that would have been let's say the act of terrorism but also puts a smile to kweisi in this country if she can report on trial she should be put on trial but this is a woman who just weeks ago was just before the month. of

the area underground a concert in which you know all those children died and she was just four years. you know so you have to sing the. level of indoctrination if any child abuse a british citizen should be brought to this country and frankly i think there should be forcibly removed from the parents who put them in there supporting jeopardy which we would have then been so. inhumane because you've raped a child away from its mother so we couldn't it was so there was no other option i think such a job he did exactly what he should have done i applaud them for his bravery if you look at the front if you look at belgium you look at germany and how many islamist terrorist attacks have actually been committed by people who have returned from syria then i wouldn't be glib about says that just pla feedings to

a side i let said we're not going to join them. we're going to values of humanity the rule of law and justice we're going to we're going to allow it we're going to put on trial and i'll be very happy to see a prison for a very long time for crimes we've got to make sure that there's safety protection for those children will be held to account then there's going to be a global conversation maybe through the international criminal court to actually hold these fighters responsible for the crimes that they committed according to the save the children charity that there are now more than two and a half thousand children in camps in north and south korea from around thirty countries their homelands are now engaged in debate about whether or not they should accept them back a recent survey in france suggests that sixty seven percent of respondents did not want such children back in the country and we got the views of our gas on that. let us not forget is the third child who was done to this young woman but it is this

young woman who has put her. tragically. children into this situation she took herself into do syria and all fall all full of situation tragically it's an awful situation of their own making let's have some humanity this is a british citizen the baby who dined and died because of a government didn't do anything to bring that child back to the u.k. of course children should not just suffer the consequences of their parents but if she made a conscious choice she may have been fifteen at the time she has been out there now for five years she had no conscience of and beheaded hates discarded in dustbins she doesn't regret her choices on sunday john we did the wrong thing he put the safety of this country first and foremost we live according to our obligations

under international law and we cannot make some mistake this is our will problem she was born in our country she was radicalized in our country and surely it's right and proper that she comes back to the u.k. she's held to account she's put on trial. human rights watch has released a damning report exposing torture and abuse of youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state in iraq the group sas the rocky and kurdish authorities routinely for suspects some as young as fourteen to confess using harsh methods the report features a number of first hand accounts from people claiming to have been subjected to torture. sort of sort of to show. what to muse shot i mean and so you know. so know. that i do it if you will. and it has to go. through in the spring. in order to leave but you got

a tip of the obama. was already a little bit of the. yellow of mr udell job that i just so i just thought of but just. enough that let's set it up a lot and leave it. to the trot a much much better. than other viruses africa. you know and there was stuff about it without any house. and there was still a better way. to report describes the kind of torture or the detainees there are lots of these subjected to among the methods to be used by the kurdistan regional authority has sort of beatings with plastic pipes and electric cables as well as the use of electric shocks and stress positions. according to human rights watch at the end of last year iraqi and kurdish authorities were holding some fifteen hundred children over there are alleged affiliation with i felt and at least one hundred eighty five foreign children have been convicted on terrorism charges and

sentenced to prison terms we heard from one of the people behind the report. iraqi authorities or no vote or abuse from the. kurdish there have charged hundreds of minors acts of terrorism because of their alleged presumed belonging to a islamic states these prosecutions very often rely on very you know dots for my positions because if they are based on confessions that were tortured out of the kids. those children are number one considered us combatants who are trying just as adult combatants and that is not fair that should be the international law is very clear and considers that children who are recruited by armed groups should be considered first and foremost i think that those who need rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than

imprisonment and torture. we recommended to government the iraqi government and purchase orders to immediately free all those guess who have not committed the crime as for those who are suspected of having committed crimes and other violent oppression well sure they should be tried but they should be tried accordingly to international rules and compelled to minors in all cases we recommend strongly that there is no practice of torture anymore and that investigations are open jewel hauled all the perpetrators accountable these are the recognition that we have addressed to the kurdish and the iraqi government and we are to expect to get answers. we're waiting for a comment on the allegations from the iraqi government meanwhile the country's counter-terrorism laws provide for the detention and trial of anyone and pull what i thought that applies even if they have not committed violent crimes that only

played support roles for example working us cooks or in hospitals. the founder of infamous private security company blackwater and now known as the council me says that the war in afghanistan may not actually be lost for the united states well that's after president trump expressed his willingness to withdraw from the country after nearly eighteen years of war what i see if takes a closer look of ghana style the so-called graveyard of empires a politician's nightmare not least for trump spite the president's boasts about ending this war about leaving afghanistan no it isn't happening as we make progress in these negotiations we will be able to reduce troops presence the political conditions where we are in the reconciliation right now don't merit that almost two decades of war of death and there's no end in sight over

the start the talking round after round of negotiations between the taliban the u.s. leading nowhere last year was the deadliest for civilians since the war began according to the u.n. but there is hope if you can call it that i do want to end the war by giving the afghan forces the means to survive and to be much more offense if you provide mentors and you provide air support and logistic support to those units they can actually get out and get after the enemy. erik prince the founder of the notorious private military for blackwater he's got a plan which he's been pitching widely to replace fifty thousand nato troops with some of his guys and a few thousand special forces and make millions of bucks along the way no doubt but

hey peace has a price one that afghans don't seem to want to pay so how do you justify that you'll get a contract and go into the war in afghanistan given that you're making money out of this business please do us a favor and have a bold line between death of mercenaries of the democracy out mercenaries of death or fall from wrong though these guys mercenary groups like blackwater never went away in fact they expanded turned into a company rebranded and now they want back into the big boys war but i never heard that. they were dead bodies everywhere and this is the argument in which. among the dead

bodies lying on the street that's which of course is the middle of seventy years old. just for a second the us hasn't had a stellar. rock record in afghanistan on the ground remember this scandal about american troops posing with dead bodies merrily firing the civilians and getting away with it time and time again scandal after scandal and these military forces we're talking about strict regulated controlled now imagine replacing them

with men who are happy to kill for money mercenaries what do you think is that going to make of ghana stun a better place or help bring about an end to this endless war. great nation do not fight endless wars. and in terror acts britain legal analyst jennifer breeden says that can tell me as just one of many private contractors eager to enter again and stand after the u.s. withdrawal. blackwater has been stating that their presence there is going to maintain stability or stabilizing force just be a third party and the presence of two opposing afghan forces i think he's seen it this as a money making opportunity and money making and the moment that it was announced that the u.s. would be withdrawing from a skip afghanistan you're talking about every single major private security firm

that wants to be in there wants to take over that gap wants to get whatever u.s. funding is going to be residual for private companies to come in and fill in that gap it's probably likely that the u.s. will say if you want those troops to happen if you want our military our defense department to leave we're going to have to leave a residual force in here whether that's a private contractors somebody else and you'll have to be ok with that the taliban has not agreed to any u.s. presence any private contractors and private military force i'm sure something that would be seen as not good or not stabilizing was the most important issue is that's up to our government that's up to our leadership to ensure that any private contractors are adhering to very strict u.s. protocol and there is a bad actor when there is a criminal act that comes out we make sure that that is publicized in that did the perpetrators are penalized and are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the laws within international law and with the laws of the country in which they are in. the u.s. questions the loyalty of one as well as military and. more attention to the political

crisis they are more in that story coming up right after the break. it was not it molded you to trade or labor and there's an environment standouts in the original nafta the five years ago those were kicked out because relations were more purity economy but now the religion is very very close intertwined so i think

it's ok to have a new treaty and you negotiation. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there. welcome back the united states is ramping up pressure on one as well and president nicolas maduro u.s. national security advisor john bolton says that momentum has now on the sides of opposition leader. they have not sought to arrest quite oh and the national assembly in the opposition and i think one reason for that is that madeira fears if he gave that order it would not be abated but i do think the

momentum is on the side of the kaleido. president maduro says the ongoing power cuts in vain as well are result of cyber attacks by the united states adding that his government is working to solve the problem meanwhile the opposition leader and self declared interim president doest says he will call this state of national emergency over the power cut it's also asked for outside intervention too and the political crisis in the country quarter reports. street filings tough talk from the us and now nationwide blackouts what a perfect time for the self-proclaimed president of venezuela to invite a foreign power to meddle in his own country. the solution is intervention and washington looks ready to oblige what would make you use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option we continue to say and we always will for the day all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on

the table all options are on the table because they always are it's no secret the u.s. has a soft spot for foreign interventions and they've picked the right guy for it as he's a no mood for talking in must be very clear to the world and to this regime that nobody will take part in this fake dialogue. if you don't i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and two ways of course shooting first and asking questions later doesn't leave much room for dialogue fake or not and of course much of the population doesn't want war at all and your fear is from other countries cannot happen over the heads of the venezuelan people we chose nicolas maduro not. that long ago i do he's calling for a fatal war because it is a war against all the people when his well it is venezuela should solve the problems of venezuela the u.s. should stop interfering in other countries affairs you know we don't want war we want peace and it's not just the venezuelans who disapprove just as america's

interventions in iraq. syria and libya all lacked international approval so the un leadership has already made it clear it wants no further escalation are you worried about the risk of internal military confrontation or even foreign i hope that. the . foreign intervention in both the magic of long ago gone there's a reason waving a big stick at sovereign countries is frowned upon the democracy promised often turns into a drawn out military occupation not to mention the bloodshed needed to even get there the majority of even the opposition themselves oppose a military intervention so his position in support of this is definitely a minority one and any sort of intervention into the country of military intervention as we've seen in other countries like libya syria gonna stand in iraq . will not be like the military intervention there will be bloodshed o.b.

destruction i'm really caused chaos for the country meanwhile after the mainstream media spends the weeks accusing been as well as president of ordering the destruction of humanitarian aid convoy one outlet has finally noticed that opposition protesters might in fact have been responsible the new york times discovered the error after analyzing video of the incident but this video is almost identical to one which we aired at the end of february both show how a burning rag separated from a molotov cocktail and hence an aid truck contradicting much of the mainstream to scription of events u.s. politicians led an attack on nicolas maduro even before the incident was fully explained. c.n.n. seems so incendiary devices from police and the minister side of the border ignite the trucks the networks journalists aren't sure if the trucks are burned in purpose each of the drugs burned by manure a carrot twenty tons of food and medicine this is

a crime and if international law means anything he must be a high price for this in the burning of trucks carrying badly needed food medicine this is being the dearest response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans reporter for c.n.n. says the misinformation was due to an unconfirmed report despite that the channel claim to the team had witnessed how police started the fire. this is a classic example of how misinformation spreads from one unconfirmed rumor to the twitter feeds of top influences to the mass media you have to be joking with the street that will see in them the outlet where you work that led the way in spreading this lie over the world c.n.n. claimed it so with it so nice something that no the happened the question we should ask why. two weeks after after we've you know the propaganda of. our libyan. leader been you know harping on nearly to justify u.s.

intervention and it's probably i wouldn't report it on the ground that they all this information was all that they're looking to get there or to know you know i think you know point of fact all of it widely reported. that there were growing. national. leadership but that you gather you know challenge claims clear evidence that. media war propaganda campaign. you know we you know we go to. the republican senator we're heard about there miles so reacted to reports that an explosion had cut off alec tricity to some areas of the country marco rubio who is a longtime critic of president of the duro said a transformer had exploded a german dam but embarrassing it for the senator had among them is the name of the

journalist who reported the incident that actually happened at a substation in the east of the country. well you might think that at eighty three it would be a good time to put your feet up and have a rest but that's not the case for one passion air and south and russia she walks more than one hundred kilometers each week because of her work. it's. for the senate to change i have to warm twenty four kilometers one way to the village and same distance back i get tired not exhausted but it's hard work. but it worked as a trick which. i

remember being a child in a voice and for the postman it was war time and everyone was waiting for let's us from the front line we would run to him to get the mail years later i noticed there were no more postman so went to the post office and told them to take me on. some doubts and she's always very kind energetic and responsible despite having a difficult life my father was depressed after my mother passed away six months ago but codd to always comes by to deliver magazines and find the time to talk to my father to cheer him up. and you're watching our teacher national we'll be back with more news right at the top of the hour.

country has gone into a nihilistic fever. thank god it hit the road and get out to traveling across america to find what makes america the charlatans the genius the quintessential american hero this is it we've come a point from which alan would have done something we always are on the bridge just a lot this whole gun culture listening party. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now it doesn't get any more gondo than it may be completely different by the end of this journey. with no make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the

ruling clauses protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round lifts only the one percent. who ignore middle of the room six. million more you leave. the world. in front of the cameras coca-cola c.e.o. promise is a world without waste outside our objective. but behind the scenes the american company is doing everything in its power to ask you any alternatives to pass. take like the return of a bottle i did obviously show. after months of negotiations with the american

multinational we have a meeting at the headquarters of coca-cola france for an interview but. it's a message they don't love so well. when i did receive. a polite and welcome. in the coverage and we wanted to know if you welcomed the frugal but it seems we have not yet won that trust. question reader and was a short supply problem with everything well wait a minute back up and see how she was all wrong. the vice president of the company michael goldsman has travelled from the united states to on so all questions will he has worked twenty one years he's in charge of global policy and environmental sustainability and he's a french speaker. and they'll say it was that when it all thanks took on over. very be twenty odd because often the real interview is done in french. book i
