>> marwan wantsto go .t is old and it's something that he's nostalgic for andy also hates the condition of being seen as a refugee in general and find it deeply humiliating. i don't know when he will go back to he was but one of the things i think is important about the return there, there's the most unfortunate narrative in europe especially the reason these people are in europe because it's isis and the regime defeats isis and everyone will go back and that's not true. the reason that so many people fled their homes is because of bombing and the reason so many people stayed and will stay even if the regime when is that the regime has one of the most brutal systems of incarceration and torture and they are 1.5 million syrians that are on the wanted list, li many of them young man who like marwan into theirarmy service and people who have returned ,, i want to say they're the irish, these three young guys hothat were trying to help the family and young guys had done their army service and these guys are get

and in the world cup at cafes also we started to become friends because i was learning arabic and marwan had an amazing arabic literary education that he was happy to teach me a lot of and after a while i one day i asked him i was like my one do you get a cell phone photos on your phone of just daily life sort of things that you know we all have our hometowns and he said well i don't but i take some. so a moment to explain what it took to take some pictures in aleppo and rocca as well and wasn't so. in those the difference between taking pictures from under ice floes and pictures from rebel controlled territory is. you know my dog look and trouble like me and they might arrest you dick cheney or there are the rebels but it's no word that that serious i says. look at you immediately as a spy working for foreign intelligence and then you're going to definitely be executed. there was one time where you were asked for your phone and you had a whole lot of contacts on your phone can you tell us that story because that was a very scary moment for you. so it was a bit funny and i had to. back u

bashar who joins us live from london marwan quite. an interesting day so much to talk about as rory said that those who criticize nato see as an imperial american project and yet today you have an american president who seems to be rejecting this alliance altogether if they were on the verge of a completely new iraq a fundamental reshaping of the international order that's a great question for you really it expresses and reflects about the intensity and the importance of the times look speaking of the big picture what is nato for what was needed to establish for some sixty nine years ago it was established for three reasons one to keep the russians out two to keep the germans down three to keep the americans in so if president trump thinks there is no more need for america to be in europe with its soldiers and its bases if he thinks germany no longer needs to be down and should on itself as we four and if we think there is no problem with russia being in or out then there's really no need for metal in fact we've been asking ourselves

supremacy to either whites in south africa or jews in israel but what many people are saying right now marwan is that this new law brings absolutely nothing new it states what the reality on the ground is and that is that israel is an apartheid state where arabs are second class citizens your thoughts. well you know i mean of course most of the people who opposed the law within israel itself including at one point is or is or one president repeatedly in and some of the major opposition leaders were saying is why are we giving ammunition slash proof to those detractors that israel is in fact practicing certain discrimination slash racism within our own state when we could of gone on our way practicing those policies without and certainly naming them licious slating them telling the whole world that we are in fact not so much of a jewish democracy we are less democracy and more jewish or as someone said we are perhaps democracy for the jews and jewish for the arab citizens of israel but be that as it may look i think the new basic law when i allowed the government to further deepen its discrimi

for more on this story i'm joined by marwan bashar al jazeera senior political analyst marwan currently from wrong you obviously follow this in detail but this seems to be iran's first sort of very concrete reaction to the collapse effectively or certainly of the u.s. falling out of the radian deal back back in may a sort of the first concrete threat if you will what certainly it's a process it's a process of oneness collation trump began by president began by would drawing from the nuclear deal then threatening sanctions and now threatening secondary sanctions for our viewers around the world it's just good to clarify that succumb to the sanctions mean that for example the oil company. in france would it be able to deal directly with the iranians import or to. build the oil installation in iran and not be sanctions by the united states. well the european union tried to give with guarantees but it hasn't worked because the americans insist that no one should be dealing with iran that is basically blockading iran economically that's basically cutting down iran's exports to various countr

>> marwan abou taam is an analyst and advisor for the german police. he believes the women knew exactly what they were doing. they played a key role for the terror group and swore an oath of allegiance to them. >> they speak about i.s. as a conqueroring army. and the i-s methods of conqueroring were extremely brutal, and that was documented on film. the propaganda videos were filmed there. people were publicly whipped and executed. those living in raqqa must have been aware of these things, especially as it's not even a very large city. >> in october 2017, i.s. was defeated, and raqqa liberated. it's not clear if the families of these foreign i.s. members still support the ideology. but what lessons have they learned? >> life in germany is good, you can practice islam better than in the islamic state, in the daesh. having been there, we've seen it. >> back in germany, they'll likely face trial. but it could be difficult to prove they have committed a crime. so their dream of living free back in germany could soon come true. ♪ >> >> my name is munkh-uji

bashar who is live in london watching this we've been talking to you all day marwan we've heard that north formal agenda was set for this meeting between trump and putin no major agreements expected to be signed no deal is expected so what was a point of all this. well clearly when the meeting was first announced it was only two weeks ago there's absolutely no time within two weeks to produce anything though of interest no time for working groups to meet and no time to set up an agenda certainly not time to agree on the principles of something like a nuclear proliferation treaty i think the point there are two issues here one issue is that i think president trump in particular wanted to meet president putin and see as they say in america they wanted to size him up they wanted to look into his eyes if you trust him doesn't trust emotional support that's of course if you trust the trump camp if you don't you would say that he's meeting with him for two hours because there is complicity between the american on the russian presidents and they don't want to get into these official documen

well senior political analyst marwan bashara joins me now to discuss this in more detail so critics will say that this institutionalizes discrimination which in a sense we've seen this criminal nation against israeli palestinians for that cade's what changes with this law look for four decades now. been balancing idea of jewish and democratic. most of its critics would say you cannot be jewish and democratic when. been a good number of twenty percent or more are not jewish i think this law make sure that israel. defines itself more jewish and less democratic so i think at least that discussion that debate within the israeli parliament has been decided in favor of jewish war jewish less democratic and for many of the coalition members in the netanyahu government the boast about that you know who cares about democracy what we care about is what we are jewish we are in our historic home land etc etc what does the world say about israel and who cares what the world says about israel you know that the world can complain but israel would do what is our needs to do now this might be good enough

a short time ago i spoke to marwan jilani, head of the country cluster support team of the international cross and red crescent societies in bangkok who told me more about the rescue mission. yes, it is a very serious concern that we still have scores of people not accounted for, they are missing. we also have more than 1000 people who are still stranded without emergency shelter and we are trying to reach them. and you understand that the area has been significantly damaged, the infrastructure is destroyed, and it is very hard to reach them. so we are trying, the laos red cross, the government, the military, is trying to reach people through boats and helicopters. that is the only way to reach them and get them to a safe shelter. 1000 people, trying to get them to save shelters, but there are also 6600 other people who have been displaced from their homes. where are they now? have they been taken care of? where have they been sheltered? i think there are much more. more than 3000 people have been affected. half of them have been given or taken to safe shelters, schools in unaffected are

on this with more on bashar al jazeera senior political analyst he joins me now live from london marwan a short time ago gil hoffman on from the jerusalem post and he said that this law doesn't actually hurt israeli palestinians tall. the. israeli. delusion or the course of the deniers apart this issue has been going on for seventy years. you know israelis have been saying that they are. the only democracy in the middle east even in the first twenty years of the state when palestinians were under military government in fact and later on in the for the following twenty years under the strong hands of the intelligence and security agencies of israel and throughout the last seventy years palestinians have seen their land confiscated their rights confiscated their livelihood destroyed and certainly have seen their brethren across the borders palestinian refugees in their hundreds of thousands millions not allowed to go back to their homes within israel simply because of the racist policies of certain israeli governments so all in all this new bill basically enshrines all of the discriminati

let's cross over to london now where our senior political analyst here at al-jazeera joins me and marwan. good to have you with of course on the program again a summit with no agenda no real documents to be signed no new resolutions to be made so we're told so why have it anyway. because it takes of course a lot of preparations and it takes a certain understanding about the goals of a summit but this summit was decided to weeks ago only if you remember john bolton the national security advisor went to moscow met with putin and the day after or even that same night it was announced that the beer summit two weeks later you get if you needed a real serious agreements on the likes of arms control or any serious you know big understanding of sort between the two world most. nuclear powers then you need a lot of preparations now if anyone expects that there would be a great bargain between moscow and washington over world affairs over the future of nuclear proliferation or nato or balance of power or the world economy of course none of that's going to happen and if anyone expects putin on tryi

we're joined by matt one of the charlotte jazeera senior political analyst in the studio with me marwan strong words there from president rouhani perhaps some of the strongest that we've seen since the u.s. pulled out of the deal he's meeting the europeans on friday so what do you make of the timing of this announcement was it directed at just that the u.s. or a lot of the other countries and companies that are feeling pressure from the u.s. well for the time being i think the iranian president is trying to deter. the american president from continuing to escalate the threats against iran when it began with pulling out of the nuclear deal than imposing sanctions on iran and then threatening secondary sanction against iran which draws in the europeans the japanese and others who have economic relations with iran of course the european partners russia and china are upset with the american administration because they still believe the nuclear deal is a good deal and if anything extra that needs to be done then it will be done in addition to the nuclear that least that's what the french pre
