action but that's mostly from the west western part and that's where people really voted for the conservative party. in the north 'd always been very much. part. left. with. citizen journalist ben i'll dig on a many things feats on the no. moving on now an urgent question of british children trapped in syria has been raised today in the u.k. parliament. some international allies are already used the 5 day cease fire to fulfill their duties and repatriate their own children if we do nothing will be abandoning our moral obligations and risking those vulnerable children growing up in a war torn area maybe turning into terrorists themselves does the u.k. take responsibility for british children and what do we can answer that in terms of the principle let me be clear we are doing what we can given the difficult
1:31 pm
circumstances on the ground of course within the rule of law for vulnerable children in north east syria this is a piece it is rapidly developing rapidly changing and of course we keep all things under review every single day we delay in actually bringing these children home is a day extra of trauma that we are going to have to address at great expense in the united kingdom i understand really 3 of the children are all foods out of the 60 who are british comedies so ringback what numbers are we talking about precisely we don't want just through each of the debates came after u.k. charity had demanded the government rescue young children born to i saw fighters of british origin it also urged the authorities to make use of the current cease fire in northeast syria between turkey and the kurds. we have an opportunity in the next
1:32 pm
few days urgently to repatriate them to bring them back home these are children in 85 percent of them across these camps are under 12 and. more than nearly half toddlers so they are not they are innocent children they are not responsible for the crimes that their parents have committed and we need to separate. save the children says 60 u.k. children are currently trapped in the region the figure twice that previously reported in many of them are thought to be under 5 years old but the u.k. foreign secretary said the britain will only help those who are orphans. in relation to minors unaccompanied minors or orphans i can tell you that assuming that they would represent no security threats we would be willing to see them return home if that can be done in a safe way given the situation on the ground. i discussed the issue with the secretary general of the european muslim league inform her of the u.k. counter-terrorism office. while of course as children they are completely innocent
1:33 pm
and almost certainly they don't at this moment pose any threat i think the difficulty comes with those that are with their parents who have made the deliberate choice to go to these places and are potentially really very dangerous themselves i disagree britain's position. citizenship i think that is totally rabbits the actions written cup dictate not. right and i think those citizenship should be restored we haven't brilliant legal system if those parents have committed defense does that put them through as a colt's i do think as was mentioned before we've got some brilliant legal system that's going to protect the public well it just won't do that there is not going to be enough evidence to deal with the with the parents there's not going to be enough evidence because the people that have witnessed atrocities are going to be dead in
1:34 pm
iraq and syria so let's be honest we're we're going to we're going to know very little about some of these people actually whether they are kids from british parents is another part of this we have to be careful because it's ok same we should bring these people back but actually would you like them living next door to you know you probably. i wouldn't do and i think we need to make sure that we've got the systems in place and the lock up those people for as long as we possibly can that are a danger to us but the children of course should be treated differently and should be given every. chance to to get themselves back into civilized society if one is more complicated maybe one parent is still alive or both parents still are the so-called i sold child what do you do do do you bring these children back and say you deserve a better life or do you just leave them to their fate no you can't leave them in a war certain you know especially in that area because they would be in danger of
1:35 pm
being radicalized let's bring them home cook them through counseling give them the backup in the care that they need let's be quite clear that if these people do come back the vast majority if not all of them will not go through the court system they will be released into society some of them will be very very dangerous and in fact some of these children we're calling them children depending on your a you know what you consider a child their age range but some of them will be very dangerous that this is bringing back problems i do have concerns but i also realize that response abilities and we cannot our problems on the rest of the world we don't know how secure those holding facilities are and you know we britain must take responsibility and it is not doing that at the moment as real dangers wherever these people end up because they are radicalized most of the youngsters will have
1:36 pm
been through some kind of radicalization piece they are going to be very dangerous and it's all very well us bringing them back but some of our live next door to them and someone may well end up dying as a result of one of these people coming back. they will hear about violence on the streets of catalonia and chile after this break. there is no variety in any of the characters that make up bubble violence anymore everything is that 00 is is predominate every single conversation that comes out of the mouth of every financial writer in the press and on television is 0 every security is now based on the 0 and the entire mix of this phantasmagoria of

1:41 pm
stories these guys they aren't hiding from the cameras quite the opposite they're waving flags and dancing they're not the main force though think of them as cheerleaders but these guys while they are the real deal they hide their faces behind masks and baloch lattice they're ruthless and violent they're armed to whetstone spit transfer unaids anything they can use to wreak as much havoc as possible their main focus of the police. thank you. and police are facing a difficult task every night they put themselves on the line every night as like a battlefield. and it is necessary to distinguish the 2 types of protesters the 1st ones are just demonstrators and they're nonviolent but there's a group of youngsters who triggered all these violent incidents that we all saw in
1:42 pm
the photos. the security these violent. protesters use dangerous where they threw molotov cocktails and bottles with acid at us it is a new situation for us we haven't faced this on such a level before so yes we feel threatened both spanish and catalan authorities confirm there are radical elements that hijacked the protests you could have their moment in the bin and the i think that the independence movement sciences has always been peaceful democratic and nonviolent and it is demonstrating that yes radical groups which we've condemned have created some scenes which we've disliked enormously and which we reject and we condemn. you know police said no they have the backing of citizens because the guarantor some of the most brushes which is the defense of public good business and civil rights so thank you for your work and thank you for containment in the face of big screw midsts provocations. while
1:43 pm
thousands of barcelona citizens marching average night condemned the recent violence and even try to support the local police forces this is how's the building of barcelona pity's quarters looks like at this moment and the citizens of the city continue to bring down worse at the gate and a show of support for the work they have been doing for the past days are fun rest and some have even taking it further and put up posters on the walls which state clearly thank you is the kind of most i also support the catalogue and i want to say the majority of police support the constitution. that i as a catalan and spanish citizen want to say think you know police all that work any of us all have a lot of friends who work for the police and i support them so far the radicals have free frayne from calling for a direct assault on police like in hong kong but with such overwhelming support
1:44 pm
hope pretty it will never come to that. i do not question r t reporting from barcelona. in norway's capital flow police have arrested an armed man who hijacked an ambulance and rammed it into pedestrians no deaths were reported though several people were injured including at least 2 babies police reportedly opened fire on the ambulance during a pursuit the suspect was injured in apprehended it's unclear whether the incident is being investigated as a terror attack or if the hijacker had any accomplices local residents have been recounting how events unfolded they spoke to are roughly video agency. noise. returned by the force. also. described. the. dog. yeah the question because my daughter is
1:45 pm
just a. little bit too good. to know what to do with the blues to do. would say confuse the song we're. back with goodies. farmers across europe are venting their anger at the us agricultural policies claiming that they are in danger of smaller family run businesses city of stroudsburg farmers descended on the european parliament bridger many a number of cities joined the protests with thousands in bonds surrounding a ministry building in berlin an army of tractors took over the streets a bunch of sips us reports. ok we'll bring you that report because we're going to head back to our top story this evening and russia's black sea resort of sochi the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the country's defense minister said a few moments ago they gave statements on the discussions that are taken place between the presidents of russia and turkey let's hear what was said. is that all.
1:46 pm
should have got a good. we shouldn't look at this. all of you have heard of the texts but if you were in russian and into the weather for the book in of the number of the agreements reached between president goodman about it or a little. over the horrible moment i remember that standing you know contains the reaction to one of the most urgent problems of the current. north eastern syria 'd or which is of great concern to many parts of the world and the most important thing is that we have reaffirmed the territorial integrity and sovereignty of syria. and the 2 we. have confirmed or to fight. all terrorist organizations in the area. and we. continue to respect disease syria turkey
1:47 pm
agreement reached in 1908 to. maintain security on the syria turkey border and the actions to be undertaken the agreements and the obligations we've agreed upon. include the abortion of the military operation that has been launched and the withdrawal of serious troops outside the boredom this is something we have talked about for a long time and we have said that. the resolution of the issue with the kurdish people is impossible without restoring the control of the syrian government of the over the entirety of syrian territory which means that this step is an important one. and the russian federation with the military police and the. groups together. with her
1:48 pm
turkish troops will continue to patrol this. starting tomorrow when the memo that memorandum takes effect. the turkish self-defense forces will be the kurdish so defense forces people's protections units will be withdrawn 30 kilometers away from the border. and of course as it is stressed in the memorandum it is important to resolve the issue of refugees. and we need to prevent the groups of refuges to from being infiltrated and other regions from being infiltrated by terrorists and. again we still support the astronaut for a moment and will continue to support the formation of the constitutional committee and the creation of this committee has been possible thanks to the cooperation between russia iran and turkey the guarantor states of the past in our format thank
1:49 pm
you. what specific measures will be taken. in for the prisons to remain secure so that the terrorists do not escape this territory is not in the zone. this memorandum of facts what we have talked about this on many occasions we call upon all those who created these prisons and maintains them including those who. stand behind these people these people are responsible for preventing. this terrorist threat from spreading through the territory of the region. on the. bank of the euphrates there are 11 refugee camps. there are
1:50 pm
considerably large camps. for the. largest one has over 70000 refuges some of 328000 some have only 500 people. in basically every day we. have being insisting. on the guards the the protection that exists today and to be maintained. or this was. what we called for and. so far. this has been so for. over 2 days though there has been a moment when there have been no guards in one area and we believe that up to 500 people. in these camps i'm not saying that
1:51 pm
all of these people were terrorists so up to 500 people were able to escape the area. we're told right now that measures are taking by those who control this territory to return these people to go with their homes but. i would like to say that. if we are able to implement everything that mr lavrov has just mentioned everything that we've been discussing for so many are was finally have come to a conclusion or the issue is how do we help these people go to into their homes this problem is much more difficult than it seems it goes beyond simple statements . or saying just come and get them. there are a. number of legal issues that are in no way regulated by international law. so we would have to create special bodies or
1:52 pm
maybe rely on the u.n. bodies to. tackle this because in their own countries these people are seen as i mean grated here they're seen as terrorists arrested terrorists who are they going to return to who is going to return them to their countries are they going to be seen people who have been a brode as terrorists or or as tourists so there is a very many issues very many questions yet to be resolved but this is the situation right now. where is this patrolling going to take place a lot along the entirety of the border. while we've. all moved.
1:53 pm
that is in the memorandum not we're not talking about the entirety of the border but rather the part that goes from the euphrates to. to tell early on. and then to the border with iraq. specifically that part. that is no longer. a border with turkey but rather a border with iraq. we haven't discussed this issue with the main goal today was to find a way out of this crisis situation to stop. the bloodshed to reach a cease fire and to prevent the situation from escalating. could you please ask your questions. just one by one.
1:54 pm
well. there's a lot of work ahead of us when we discuss different options and different strategies. and we talked about the possibility of. the syrian government troops moving but. over the turkish troops but we've concluded that the best way would be for russian troops together with turkish border troops to patrol these areas and we have just signed this memorandum half an hour ago it will it will be operational to borrow it may day maybe once you wake up you it will already be in effect. this of this was one of these central points of our position. of russia's position we have always been we have always stood for the refugees returning to their homes. and we have been demanding international organizations and the u.n.
1:55 pm
agency and refugees and other international bodies to actively get involved in syria and how the refugees to return homes to their homes and in many ways because of our western counterparts because of our western colleagues this. afterwards these efforts have been thwarted or has been doing a lot. of thousands of refugees to return to their homes. and as for the eastern. bank of the euphrates and there are areas that are not. controlled by the the to actually controlled by the u.s. led coalition forces and their people. have been constructing infrastructure and. i've been openly trying to create
1:56 pm
a separatist state to there but the memorandum of side and calls for stopping of all of these separatists activities. i hope that we will be able to completely eliminate any separatist tendencies on the territory of syria. so the operation of the war has stopped. and old depends on how well the agreements will be implemented including the withdrawal of kurdish troops. just 2 final questions. for her.
1:57 pm
you know and we are today as throughout all these years we have been working on restoring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the syrian arab republic we have been closely cooperating with to can derive within the astronaut format taking. measures to create deescalation zones result humanitarian issues and create conditions for a political process to be launched and we have been doing doing this because of the legitimate. because the syrian government legitimately asked us to do so. and we wouldn't ask you not to base your assessments on the statements of the us because their position
1:58 pm
almost. changes and as you know american troops have been on the territory of syria . illegally. and i see that some of the members of the u.s. led coalition are trying to understand that they need to change. their actions the need. and this is the good to see. and like to know that the u.s. has only one hour 31 minutes to implement all the all their obligations in the deal they have signed the 120 hour deal the 120 hour truce. that's called for the withdrawal of all troops from the area. by the way you are not introducing yourselves unlike journalists from russia today
1:59 pm
you haven't been showing good manners. or. speaking. today is goes we have. enough troops for the future we have some toes freeze the. mic is. there is already peaceful roaf restored they don't need any more troops patrolling the areas of the. earth i cannot say right now in the specific numbers right down but we're going to need some machinery some troops because the area is quite large. and we need to prevent any kind of and serious incidents and the patrolling like we've said is going to be joint moves with the russian troops on the turkish border
2:00 pm
troops. ok we're going to a very short break and we'll get back to our top story discussions over the events on the syrian border. ok let's not go with our bravest get straight to it after facing repeated accusations that he betrayed because in syria the u.s. president seems to be shifting to a strategy where he's all more comfortable ground business president trump as announced that he's thinking of leaving some troops in syria although it's not for the benefit of america's former allies. or one of their very being used here in our universe out of those troops would have been well. i don't think it's. us or the security or region where we've been asked by israel.
