no the bill clinton. oh it was. for the debate and division right across europe over the fate of children of islamic state fighters says the baby of a nice little bride's dies in a syrian refugee camp after the woman's u.k. citizenship was revoked. bridges citizens to be be darned and dard because our government didn't do anything to bring that child back to the u.k. . we did the wrong thing he put the safety of this country first and foremost. human rights watch accuses iraqi and kurdish authorities of routinely torturing youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state. and as well as

national assembly grounds opposition leader why don't the authority to declare a state of emergency as an extensive blackout in the country continues. and president trump sends the biggest budget request in history to congress asking for over four trillion dollars to fund initiatives like countering russia's the pose that the line influence. very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with meaning air and our top story this hour parents of a french woman who was killed after joining islamic state in syria are paling to president mccrum to allow her three children and her friends are currently living in a refugee camp in syria as the details. of the case. it involves

a young woman. who's seventy five years ago promised for syria with her husband babysit old in iraq her and they supported islamic state until she and her husband were both recently killed in allied airstrikes not her three children are still human 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 falls there malnutrition is right it is not enough food is not enough it is said and she's mother who lives in the north of france has appealed to the french prisoner upon to allow put three grandchildren she joins us 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 in 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 this is an

issue that is hugely divisive here in france around sixty seven percent of the population says that these children should not be given permission to people back 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 nationality not chummy much bigger was found at the beginning of last month when she was pregnant but hope we old son who recently died in a syrian refugee camp and this came as the push to show the security state that he was rufo king the british citizenship that announcement was both criticized and supported the tragic death of show me a baby a germ is a stain on the conscience of this government it's against international law to make someone stateless and to leave the whole noble young woman and insert child in a refugee camp where we know infant mortality to be high is morally reprehend.

sibel the home secretary fatal 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 a really terrible problem but on the other hand the job of the home secretaries to protect all the people in the united kingdom to 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. is our battle that day she our region she left at the age of fifteen from the u.k. she joined the islamic state in syria when she was found in that refugee camp there the last month she said that her wish was to come back to the u.k. and head coach paul barry 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 air as it's all problems we are hearing from senior officials are the syrian defense forces that hundreds are islamic state fighters have surrendered but at the same time hundreds more obvious few seem to surrender and so the fighting continues however as islamic state uses control of its last territories in syria it appears a sizable number of ice the wives are not regretting that decision to join the group. and there was little sympathy from our guests spall the woman who would essentially kick started this debate. we go to break peace walking away with pitiful sentences she would have walked away with a pitiful sentence in comparison we also are absolutely you know might be her word that she didn't do anything that would have been let's say the act of terrorism

puts a smile to kweisi face in this country if she can be put on trial she should be put on trial but this is a woman who just weeks ago was just on sit in which you know all those children died and she was just four years. you know so you have to think the. level of indoctrination is really any child who's a british citizen should be brought to this country and frankly i think there should be forcibly removed from the prior to put in their support. which we would have then been told. you might because you raped a child away from its mother so we couldn't it was so there was no other option i think the judge is jumping to exactly what he should have done i applaud them for his bravery if you look at the front look at belgium you look at germany and how many islamist terrorist attacks are right if you've been committed by people who

have returned from syria then i wouldn't be glib about it just class reading suicide let's we're not going to join them in there but parity we're going to win tarried our values of humanity the rule of law and justice we're going to we're going to allow it back in we're going to put on trial and i'll be very happy to see years in prison for a very long time for crimes we've got to make sure that there's safety and protection for those children with the international criminal court to actually hold these fighters responsible for the crimes that they committed. human rights watch has released a damning report exposing torture and abuse of youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state specked some as young as fourteen she confessed using harsh methods the report features a number of first hand accounts. what to me a shot i mean and so you know. the three of you all. know

at the. age of a. little at the border. what mr udell job what i just started just out of but just. enough that decided that a lot and leave. much. of our lives africa. and there was still a better way than i had. the better and. the report describes the kind of torture to which the state detainees are legit based object it among the methods said to be used by kurdistan regional authorities all beatings with plastic pipes and electric cables as well as the use of electric shocks and stress positions were holding some fifteen hundred children over that alleged affiliation with ai so at

least one hundred ninety five foreign children have been convicted on terrorism charges and sentenced to prison terms we heard from one of the people behind the report already has or no vote or of these from the. kurdish there have charged hundreds of minors acts of terrorism because of their. belonging to other islamic states these prosecutions very often rely on. you know for my physicians because they are based on confessions that were tortured out of the thing that gets . children are considered combatants who are trying just about and that it is not fair that should be the international . law is very clear and considers that children want to. armed groups should be considered first and foremost i think those who need rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than prison time and told. we

recommended the government the iraqi government and purchase orders to immediately free all those kids who have not committed a 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 according 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 to all hold 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 awaiting comment on the allegations from the 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 violent crimes in only support roles for example working as cooks or in hospitals.

when as well as national assembly has approved a state of emergency declared by opposition leader and self declared president one quiet oh it comes as the country suffers through an ongoing blackout and humanitarian crisis president madeira say is the ongoing power cuts in venezuela are a result of cyber attacks by the united states adding that his government is working to solve the issue he said to allege saboteurs were caught trying to damage and hydroelectric dam on monday an investigation is underway meanwhile one go i dos those that catastrophe needs to be addressed immediately advocating for carrying out the state of emergency approved by the national assembly local journalist nor is our got the details the president of the congress one way don it's plain why the congress is assuming this competence and how and what will imply for the benefit well let's hear what he has to say. this catastrophe needs to be addressed

immediately no we cannot turn our heads elsewhere no we cannot abandon our people and you are in the streets you have the right to protest you have the right to demand you have the right to raise your voice you have the right to protest for your relatives you have the right to go out to the streets and demand our rights it's not true that there is normality in the streets in venezuela there is none according to what he treats. this state of alarm as declare some adelie of the state of emergency throughout the national territory due to the public climate he generated by this is change in direction of the electricity supply that has the effect that the vast majority of the venezuelans thursday my. seven twenty nineteen the bali bari and national armed forces are order to a range of the necessary mobilizations to provide protection to build their facilities and of course so that they can fulfill their task of restoring the national electricity system. this is

a lot of psychological pressure on the venezuelan people to be dealing with the humanitarian crisis and now the crisis with the electrical grid the men on top of that to have the assembly declare a national emergency this is really designed to create more jobs and more fear and more division within the venezuelan people live a plan of the opposition is to find any way that they can to bring things to a head and the military remains pretty much consistently on the side of. and so this is another attempt to push the military to defect and to deep in the crisis. a blackout in the country has now lasted for five days and the venezuelan government has told workers to stay home in the meantime the united states is ramping up pressure on president nicolas maduro u.s. national security adviser john bolton says the momentum is now on the side of opposition leader. they have not sought to arrest 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 a date but i do think the momentum is on the side of the kaleido street file and tough talk from the u.s. 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 now is intervention and washington looks ready to oblige what would make you use the us 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 in no mood for talking it should be very clear to the world and to this regime that

nobody will take part in this fake dialogue you want to compliment you don't 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 in phaedo war because it is a war against all the people when he's well it is venezuela that should solve the problems of venezuela the u.s. should stop interfering in other countries if there is 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 lead once no further escalation are you worried about the risk of internal military confrontation or even foreign i hope that we sink the there's a reason waving a big stick at sovereign countries is frowned upon the democracy promised often

turns into a drawn. military occupation not to mention the bloodshed needed to even get their u.s. secretary of state my pompei always blaming venezuela's allies for the situation he said that my supporting madeira over russia was ignoring the will of the venezuelan people he also blamed russian media for shifting attention from the country's humanitarian crisis. has also use sponsored just information organs like russia today and sputnik to divert attention from the humanitarian disaster of the material regime they most of the means to media in the united states has fallen in line with this we're seeing a propaganda campaign it was interesting that the new york times had to backtrack the story of the industry being the ones to fire to the humanitarian tracts when it was obviously true that video footage of people from the opposition to a very one sided story about what's happening in venezuela almost never talking to

people who support the administration. president congress a record four point seven five trillion dollar budget request for next year that includes plans of military boosts as well as hundreds of millions of dollars to counter alleged russian influence. well quite interesting we've got a budget request or proposal from the white house that talks of line activity by russia and then from their talks of requesting six hundred sixty one million dollars to spend to counter russian activity that both in europe and in central asia now the budget also talks about countering the activities of china refers to strategic rivalries between the united states and russia and china now it's interesting to note that at the white house briefing we did hear some talk of big budget difficulties and some of the hardships facing the country let's review some

of what was said this great progress is threatened by or unsustainable national debt which is nearly doubled under the previous administration in now stands at more than twenty two trillion dollars washington has a spending problem and in danger is the future prosperity of our nation and for generations to come this budget will balance in fifteen years in addition federal resources and front line defenders are overwhelmed at the southern border in the fiscal year two thousand and twenty budget provides sizable funding of an eight point six billion dollars for full completion of the wall and other border security resources as you heard the white house referred to spending problems but their report certainly involves quite a bit of spending in the proposal that they're putting forward in addition to the countering of the strategic rivalry with russia and china they talked about five hundred million dollars that would be transferred between foreign assistance accounts in regards to what they call supporting the transition in venezuela or

trying to oust venezuela's president nicolas maduro furthermore the document and the budget proposal refers to countering regimes such as north korea and iran it refers to them as rogue regimes and it makes reference to terrorism now this budget proposal has been widely criticized. yes there are many criticizing it for the focus on building trump a beloved wall on the us mexico border that he campaigned around so much and not giving a priority to domestic programs however are many look at it and they see it quite a bit of spending on foreign issues in particular singling out russia always looking for more ways to get the u.s. involved in wars and who also backed this idea of strategic dominance so there's this long running thing that's been going on of trying to and i think it's getting stepped up again it kind of speeded a little after the collapse of the soviet union but during the soviet union and now

back with dealing with russia there's this attitude of well we need to get is a strategic dominance where the u.s. can consider realistically having a first strike on the the russians and whether or not they mean to wipe out russia as a rival or whether they envision being able to present the russians with a threat that the u.s. could do that without destroying russia's ability to retaliate would cause russia to cave in and various important issues. open question it won't be accepted as it's presented no chance not with that with democrats in the house. to resume says he has secured legally binding changes to the irish border backstopping have brags that dale was off to a meeting with the european commission president instructions but a young distressed that the dear is final and to support it. having an insurance

policy to guarantee that there will never be a holiday forward motion and is absolutely right the two year old attendees voted on in january was not strong enough today we have agreed to them i have just informed the course of you can go sooth. does it even ing and asked him to which meant that you couldn't culls endorsers this joint instrument subject to a prior post if you vote in the house of commons on the door agreement there will be no further interpretation of the interpretations and no further assurances on the reassurances if you mean meaning vote falls to page two or. let us speak crystal clear about the choice he does distil of works it looked it might not have been the dole. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn has reacted by calling the negotiations a failure and the house of commons to reject may's deals later these statements

time just before another crucial vote on the breakthrough for tuesday if it gets rejected again m.p.'s will hold a vote on whether to divorce from the e.u. without a deal and if that also fail which fellow at the london school of economics told us about the challenge facing the prime minister. theresa may if she's to pass or if you must either persuade the heartbreaks or two years that there's nothing better for them or convince a sufficient number of labor m.p.'s to vote with her because the alternative is no do you if the vote is lost and choosing she's promised to be a second vote performer and there you can win this thing not having any do you have the expectation is that the house of parliament would do oppose anything that smacks of no do you use for that reason i think no do you remains hardly are likely . to have them passed in other words no deal is stopped the next will be to go to the idea of having an extension of the whole negotiating process with

a thing that's known as article fifty that point is not just the u.k. universe research we want to extend the negotiating period because it has to be agreed by the other side so we'll be in to a fresh round of negotiations come thursday if parliament votes in favor of an extension. really is into unknown territory nobody can really tell you what's going to happen at that point. after a boeing seven three seven max eight operated by ethiopian airlines crashed on sunday with no survivors is prompted to act carriers in china ethiopia morocco indonesia south and south africa and became an island to grounds that after that model or china whose airlines operate one of the world's largest fleets of max eight ses the aircraft will not be allowed to fly until all security concerns of be resolved. in line with the management. it's a pool of zero tolerance for safety hazards and strict control of safety risks the civil aviation administration issued

margrave says grounding the new model is necessary pending an investigation. to critias of course the big. issue to go in definitely in my view the fleet must be wrong and. there was just one of these that delivered that just recently. is the advised not to take this action before this seems to refer to obviously the computers design and pushes the nose down because of this new source information except it's a sense of. lifting the nose to twenty degrees which is. so the computer system pushes the nose there was a five kind of flight. the computer and the pilots who obviously will it has to do to train the plane it's officially in such

a case to switch off the computer and to take over the plane it has been trained by the twenty oh is this to my knowledge that twenty twenty days they do should be at least at this time because trains don't just knowing about the same. there's been a surprising knife related offenses and thirty four british counties since two thousand and ten and then there has been an eleven percent increase a u.k. supermarket is taking the solution into its own hands by stopping a sale of single lives and us to check in as more. knife crime has become a major source of concern in the u.k. even described as an epidemic these days since the beginning of the year forty one stabbings have been reported fetal with both adults and teens among the victims and attackers a huge debate on how to tackle the problem has been pushed to the forefront the u.k. home secretary has been holding emergency meetings with chief police officers last

week to find a way forward as the surge in knife attacks gets dubbed a national emergency meanwhile this british supermarket joint seems to be adding its two cents to address the problem they have announced they won't be selling single knifes anymore by the end of april when no single knives are the most common knife products to be stolen and that is why we have chosen to remove these items from our stores this is an issue that means a lot to our customers and to our colleagues and we are committed to playing our small part in helping to make our communities safer for all the officers welcomes the move will find out if locals think it can actually make any difference it's a very good idea because they're not going to spend fifty pounds to buy ten and i think the problem is that it's fine because the character of this you stop selling to under eighteen that doesn't work take a stop so they know. you're in there people who are older he might need life perhaps it is a good idea to know from the solver begin to for more money so. a lot of these guys

get knives from their home safely so they go buy those they get they can readily access and that's stress in their homes we also caught up with a former metropolitan police officer for a professional take on the knife crime situation where i think it's. still very like a day on the problem as a whole. will be going to do with here is a very very stringent legislature so that the punishments and the deterrents for carrying noise in these circumstances are extremely horny. this sort of thing is a step in the right direction but it's a very small step and it's a very long journey we've got to go on so we've got to look for government and we've got to look to our legislators to give us the tools to deal with this but least always need to be very very powerful ones because we can't continue down this road for that. political cultural things like in places nation to address that you've got to go. right through you know sort of forming unforeseen social changes

and that's going to take a long tolling and i think you know you need to look at government changes in social services the choice of fact that we have to do something in the sort of you know we read about a sticking plaster on if you like and sticking plaster again needs to be a crease in the amount of stuff and so as we do in the freedom of movement place i had to exercise that but also you know we have to put the placement in the perpetrators more and so the desire of the the taron that will perhaps stop these youngsters from carrying these new.
