to islamic state. the head of an infamous u.s. security company wants no one. last thing conflict in afghanistan could still be war but only if washington. nine am in denver ten pm in hanoi and six in the evening right here in moscow this monday march the eleventh welcome to our international our top story parents a french woman who lost her three children in two fronts they're currently living in a refugee camp in syria leslie or brought me up to date earlier. well this is a case that involves a young woman she reminding cento who some five years ago missed promised for syria with her husband babysitter old in iraq her and they supported islamic state until she and her husband were both recently killed in allied airstrikes not her three
11:02 am
children are still in a refugee camp along the syria iraqi border called out for now the situation in the camp is dire indeed some sixty five thousand people are currently hols their malnutrition is right it is not enough food is not enough it is said and she is mother who lives in the north of france has appealed to the french prisoners a promise to allow her three grandchildren she joins her here in the. records or so that she was doing in the whole camp on day five the conditions are terrible there is no room they've been treated worse than animals these children didn't ask to be born or be taken there they're the victim of the choices made by their parents now there are currently some two and a half thousand children who are being coulsdon syrian refugee camps and around one hundred of them are a french are region and french nationality this is an issue that is hugely divisive here in france around sixty seven percent of the population says that these
11:03 am
children should not be given permission to people to this country but there are other cases that are also making headlines there is the recent case this time of the new slum mixtape wide of british last month when she was pregnant but hope we old son recently died in a syrian refugee camp and this came as the bush hopes to teach state that he was rufo king but british citizenship that announcement was both criticized and supported the tragic death of show me a baby jar is a stain on the conscience of this government it's against international law to make someone stateless and to leave out the noble young. woman and insert child in a refugee camp where we know infant mortality to be high is morally reprehensible the home secretary failed to 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
11:04 am
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 in 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 some have begun is our back in the day she our region she left at the age of fifteen from the u.k. to join islamic state in syria when she was found in everything she can do the last month she said that the wish was to come back to the u.k. and head coach there but at the same time she also said she did not feel great joining islamic state now all of this comes as fighting intensifies over the last stronghold for the jihad this week in the fear as it's all problems we are hearing from senior officials of the syrian defense forces that hundreds are islamic state
11:05 am
fighters have surrendered but at the same yeah just a little bit more and this particular story. loses control of its last turd trees and cirie it appears a sizeable number of eyes all wives are not regretting their decision to join the group. there was little sympathy from our guests for they have a woman who had essentially kick started the whole debate. with go blank piece in white with pitiful sentences she would have walked away with a pitiful sentence in comparison we all saw absolutely no light on the her was that she didn't do anything that would have been let's say the act of terrorism puts a smile to kweisi in this country if she can be put on trial she should be put on
11:06 am
trial but this is a woman who just weeks ago was just before the month to bow me of the grand day concert in which you know all those children died and she was just in 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 they should be forcibly would move from the parents who put them in their support. which we would then be. inhumane because she was raped a child away from its mother so we couldn't it was so that there was no other option on the subject so. i applaud them for his bravery if you look at the front look at belgium you look at germany and how many islam is terrorist attacks have actually been committed by people who have returned from syria then i wouldn't
11:07 am
be glib about six. feet in suicide and that said when not going to join them. we're going to win tarried our values of humanity the rule of law and justice and we're going to we're going to allow it and we're going to put on trial and i. be very good protection for the children were made and that they held to account and 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. i want to turn attention to a human rights watch report on it's a damning one just released it exposes torture and abuse of youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state in iraq the group say's iraqi kurdish authorities routinely for suspects some as young as fourteen to confess using harsh methods the report features a number of first hand accounts. what to me
11:08 am
a shot i mean when you say you know kolo. three. hundred. seventy. you know at the. age of the. at the border. you know what mr odd job what i did. you just had but just. enough time to set it up a lot and. my friend. of ours was africa. and you know there was still better than half. the battle. well the report describes as well the kind of torture to which the detainees are allegedly subjected among the methods said to be used by kurdistan regional authorities or beatings with plus the pipes on the electric cable as well as the use of electric shocks on stress positions but according to human rights watch at
11:09 am
the end of last year iraqi and kurdish authorities were holding some fifteen hundred children over there are alleged affiliation with a high school 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 no vote or of these from the. kurdish they're charged hundreds of minors here is because of their resume. islamic states these prosecutions very often rely on. you know for my physicians because they are based on confessions were tortured out. through the kits. are considered combatants who are trying just. but and that is not fair that should
11:10 am
be the international law is very clear and considers that children who are armed groups should be considered first and foremost i think those who need rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than prison and told. we recommended the government the iraqi government and the who it is to immediately free all those kids who have not committed the crime of those who are suspected of having committed crimes and other violent actions well sure they should be tried but they should be tried accordingly to injure national. minors in all cases we recommend strongly that there is no practice of torture anymore and that investigations are open jule hauled all the perpetrators accountable these are the recondition that we have addressed to the kurdish and the iraqi government and we are to expect to get answers yeah a lot of issues raised there we are awaiting comments on the allegations from the
11:11 am
iraqi government the country's counter-terrorism laws do provide for the detention and trial of anyone involved with i still applies even if they have not committed bylane crimes only played support roles for example working as cooks or in hospitals. the founder of infamous private security company blackwater no known as a calumny sais that the war in afghanistan may not actually be lost for the united states that's after president trump expressed his willingness to a draw fall in the country after nearly eighteen years of war it's our senior correspondent rob goes they have. 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
11:12 am
progress in these negotiations we will be able to reduce ships 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 of talking round after round of negotiations between the taliban the us leading nowhere last year was the deadliest for civilians since the war began according to the un 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
11:13 am
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.
11:14 am
they were dead bodies everywhere and this is the argument going to be with you. among the dead bodies lying on the street that which causes the middle of next seventy years old. just for a second the us hasn't had a stellar track record in afghanistan on the ground remember this scandal about them. eric and troops posing with dead bodies merrily firing that civilians and getting away with it time and time again scandal after scandal and these
11:15 am
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 stand a better place or help bring about an end to this endless war. great nation do not fight endless wars. or anti terror expert and legal analyst jennifer britton believes and kevin is just one of many private contractors eager to enter afghanistan after the u.s. withdraw. 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 at this as a money making opportunity and money making and the moment that it was announced
11:16 am
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 this troops to happen if you want our military our defense department for 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 i think private military force i'm sure something that would be seen as not good or not stabilizing was the most important issue is it's up to our government that's up to our leadership to ensure that any private contractors are here and a 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 publicizing that 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.
11:17 am
euro skeptic parties are expected to shoot all in popularity in upcoming e.u. elections we look into the details of the break. you know world of big. and conspiracies it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now. we're watching closely watching the hawks. anyone else seem wrong why don't we all just don't all.
11:18 am
get to shape our disdain become educated and in gains from it because the trail. once and many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thanks for joining us once again our russian newspaper has released two videos purporting to show the abuse of inmates by staff a prison in the city of jaroslav. hackish the my videos are quite shaky because they are from
11:19 am
a camera that appears to have been attached to one of the prison staff members but the quality is good enough to make them very disturbing to say the least this is what torture looks like and one video we can see an almost naked man obviously and mate and they're all signs that he was just beaten up although that's not being shown he is forced to smoke a cigarette which as journalists explained must have just been used by a gay inmate and some sort of unwritten prison laws of russia suggest that doing so would make the rest of his jail life misery on the second video we can see moments of how the man is actually getting beaten up at some point his head was slammed off the door and when he just can't take it no more he screams out of moles and pain it is unclear what angered the security guards and what led to this
11:20 am
situation so the newspaper has just made the two videos public although the russian federal prison authorities says that they discovered them in the middle of last month i'm not so you know not even the ones on the. right in the snow thousand and sixty seven substantive he told me it was done to more. since. last year the leak of a similar video from the very same call and he led to a massive public outcry it was a big scandal which led to dozens of criminal cases being started and even more people were sacked from the call any. support for a euro skeptic parties is rising ahead of may's e.q. parliamentary elections according to
11:21 am
a new survey by german newspaper build the poll predicts a parliamentary group bringing together euro skeptic parties from across the continent called the europe of nations and freedom movement with almost double its representation to sixty seven seats italy poland and france are named countries predicted to see major gains by anti immigration parties the northern league is expected to get over a third of ballots in italy the french national rally is projected to be present micron's ruling party in poland the law and justice party is on course to get as much as forty two percent of the vote when the poll comes as a shock german report claims that authorities have failed to respond to tip offs the thousands of war criminals time in the country posing as refugees from twenty forty two last year it said just one hundred twenty nine five thousand suspected cases were investigated we spoke to geo political analyst and consultant dr reiner
11:22 am
roughness he says that instance such as these countries to the rise of european party. european institutions show how to lead failed for example in terms of protecting the borders of fishing in the area and therefore reluctancy of people towards european institution have institutions has grown expect that those parties will continue those parties are not about all right we have a national control oriented so that does not necessarily mean that people have a. right wing tendency but they believe. nation based system of organizing politics and all of for example also protect the borders and handling asylum systems. critics are raising the pressure over remarks by democratic representative omar a jewish influence on american politics which many of those on t.
11:23 am
semitic she later apologized for the comments leading republican leaders cheney warns a democrat back resolution condemning all bigotry in the wake of omar's comments is not enough their leadership is they are protecting her you know this isn't just being silent they are protecting her by failing to put a resolution on the floor that names her and that strip search for committee assignment instead they put a resolution on the floor which she then went out and said this is a tremendous victory for me. congress had the opportunity to denounce anti-semitism a very specific very odious problem and democrats decided to dodge that opportunity unapologetically dressing up a resolution as anti hate and insulating the person that was meant to discourage well first this resolution condemned all forms of hate and intolerance and anti semitism and discrimination against muslims it was by by a large majority including all democrats on omar. the move came after she
11:24 am
questioned the power of the israeli lobby over u.s. ports. and not. a lobby. group that is. i well earlier i put the issue off for the bait with political commentator amir oren and down dyker project director out the center for public affairs. let me make it very clear this is about the new freshman member of congress ilan omar who basically legitimized anti semitism by saying by saying that jews control america with money and the jews have dual loyalty in the united states the real issue is anti semitism and he's on isn't the answer is yes the debate is is one in which if you deny the jewish people the right to self-determination as not on sharansky sat in a in a soviet prison for nine years because he was a jew wanting to come to the jewish state you are an anti semite that is what that
11:25 am
is the issue and ilan omar has camouflaged anti-semitism in the united states and has turned it in to a to a camouflaged issue of criticism of israel this is not about ok criticism of israel amir on the resolution why do you think it went beyond semitism to all forms of bigotry does not not just water don on effectively leave it as a nothing document the power for israel's friends be the jews or. other denominations on capitol hill and in american politics is not only undeniable israel has in fact used the perception that it can move and shake on the hill to reach advantage so when it fits. the purpose it indicates to people in washington on that it behooves them not to do israel's bidding and when he does not. all of
11:26 am
a sudden fears such perceptions but this is of course powerful to course if you'd like to sum up your argument a mere twenty seconds you know israel used to enjoy bipartisan support on capitol hill and in washington in being the country in general under benjamin netanyahu he has publicly supported the republicans over the democrats and by a contributor to the democrats now coming out in force against israel this is a very critical time for the democratic party mr oren is absolutely right that israel has always been a bipartisan issue and it should continue to be a part part is an issue the challenge of the democratic party is will they stand up to mr omar and to mr from michigan and to ms cortez from new york who are working as a triangular power in order to to to create an unfair and biased and even at times
11:27 am
anti semitic diatribe against israel and the jews in the united states will the democratic party stand up to them or will they collapse as they have in this resolution that essentially makes miss omar the victim as opposed to the perpetrator of that anti-semitic trope. ok stay close for some more great program starting in moments here in our international i'll be back with all the latest in thirty some. odd thing the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight percent in the world market rose thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second

and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored in this one and only boom but . time after time so we're going on the ground as u.k. politicians prefer to vote on britain leaving the european union in just over two
