S. Led coalition and these are some of the many pictures that are emerging showing the final stages of the battle for derose or these are from syrian state t. V. You can see soldiers and their allies moving into whats left of the city center lets pick this up now with aljazeera. Who is in gaza turkey syria border husham weve heard various reports the day that said bures or had been completely liberated others saying that the assad forces were still facing resistance from i saw what is the situation right now as you know it. We followed the quiet in early in the day concentrated into neighborhoods in delhi. And away those areas were controlled by the syrian army later in the day after a wave of strikes by the russians and also shelling by the Syrian Military the army was also backed by different often hated groups and militias like the hezbollah and other shiite militias and they managed to get into the area now they are into the process of clearing the area from. Booby trapped buildings or potential suicide bombers or snipers but they are confident the city now is under their control however i said has been posting such basements that statement over the last few hours saying that they have attacked. The post right on the outskirts of the city of the how important tashan is neighbor ation dairies or from a geopolitical viewpoint whats going to happening next. Fully were talking about a syrian army the has been. Done in conflicts for the last six years suffering they just said backs no it is diverse in that narrative consolidating its gains in some part of the country particularly in what is quite significant for the Syrian Military which is backed by russia iran and different groups the next step will definitely be a book which is a gateway all the border with iraq i mean for the past to get supplies from iraq they would have to ask people to come through. And vice a versa for them to redeploy fighters from syria into iraq they would do it through a book about so the next fight is definitely going to be about a book a man in the concern also my understand is that you know both the syrian backed Russian Forces and russia bacteria nami i should say and the u. S. Backed Syrian Democratic forces are in a race to retake the rest of the arizona province now that i saw is out of the picture how high is the risk of confrontation between me and the syrian army is that going to be the next big battle perhaps. Though most likely for the simple reason in the past both rival groups were busy. Pursuing their own agendas and now the syrian army has crossed the euphrates towards the some part of a country a does the potential for confrontation between the two is very high for the simple reason is that the. Still controls the most Important Oil fields were talking about oil fields that bomb Something Like forty thousand barrels a day which is really quite significant part of the army made it clear that it wants to recover every single territory it lost the old it probably was this is backed by the americans the syrian army is backed by the russians a confrontation between the two could drag both the americans of russians into deeper into the syrian conflict a very good question here finally from one of our regular viewers on the news great man would or who says what is assads intention now after completely eradicating i saw from syria is he going to repat treat those innocent citizens civilian victims of the war back to the areas that they lived. So theres a problem here because weve seen some statements from activists indels or saying that there are thousands of people trapped inside the willing to leave to the north because theyre concerned about acts of retribution by the Syrian Government they say that the syrian army the moment it takes territory from i so it would go off the civilians accusing them of being of colluding with isis i think you have two issues here first of all huge areas of deals that have been destroyed during the intense strikes number two there is this distrust about the Syrian Military so it may take white some time for people to be convinced to go back to their homes hashem had live for us in gaziantep on the turkey syria border thank you very much for that now we asked a syrian refugee who fled eisel controlled areas or and is now in greece if the government is victory day when he courage him and others to return his. I am i am from syria from that is. No way im in the gates unless france. And two thousand fourteen. Women from talking to. Yesterday you know i have gone. From. Out of from a friend to from my city saying the government and then ive got a militia no they have made city they think they have the when the government they say or do you. Know we have the result of the bees they have your home and they dont believe you yesterday you kill the people and today you say for me i have to come back now if i come back there. I have to be without me i have to go with you know with the government to be with me and other people in a from my city or from another city in syria. I believe you on. The people in syria what we have to do. A syrian refugee speaking to us there from lesbos in greece now i saw is also being squeezed by iraqi forces lets go back to the live you a map as you can see i saw not only controls a chunk of territory up in the northwest along the rocky syria border so the armys latest offensive is here our kine theyre getting help from sunni tribal fighters and the popular modernisation forces. Lets get the latest from Stephanie Decker who joins us from the Northern City of the hope whats the latest in iraq as far as the battle against isis all is concerned seven. Significant gains and the final push really forty against i still in this country when it comes to the territorial hold that they have this is the last area they control and hugely significant as was alluding bad this is a Border Crossing significant because its the last Border Crossing the holding rule remember the propaganda videos that they they issued when they broke down bulldoze down those borders between iraq and syria to thousand and fourteen it also lies on the highway between that is sort of baghdad so that border point has been taken the fight is now around the city of all color and theyve been taking districts throughout the day folly so they do seem to be making quite a lot of headway so yes again significant because this is the last territory that eisel controls and the iraqi Prime Minister had just a couple of days ago when he announced the battle said that i saw would be pushed out of the country very soon but of course you know territorial doesnt necessarily mean they exactly was no longer a right that was going to be my next question in fact seventy they are losing territory in both syria and iraq theyre theyre being defeated militarily but does it mean that theyre losing influence as well. Absolutely its a very important question and many people will tell you study the group that they will simply adopt their tactics yes many of their fighters have been killed in these battles but many also have simply i think you know melted into the i. D. P. s situation you sleeper cells that are concerned weve seen those become active in car cook there was a big attack a couple of months ago before you know things moved on in baghdad has been multiple bombings claimed you know by the group so that still remains a threat and then of course further afield you still have you know the attacks claimed by eisel that weve seen in europe you know in other areas even just iceland speired forty you know it was comes to a point of any sort of disenfranchised disillusioned person sitting in a basement on their computer can sort of be inspired and go out and claim to do an attack in the name of eisel but but yes the group. As an idea as an operation of course theyve been less in their propaganda videos you see theyve changed are no longer what it was their leadership has been targeted their financing has been targeted but they still remain a threat because they will now almost i suppose we could call it for guerrilla you know tactics sort of you know instance of attacks in certain areas in a very very difficult to stop Stephanie Decker into hope in Northern Iraq thank you very much for that stephanie now as i saw is defeated questions are being asked about whether iraq will be able to effectively try and punish the on group for its crimes the u. N. For one says its not its pointing to mosul where at least five two thousand five hundred twenty one civilians were killed during the nine month battle to defeat eisel there the u. N. Says were killed by eiseley in ways it describes as Serious International crime such as using people as human shields targeting them as they fled and blowing up homes the world body says iraqi courts lack jurisdiction to try atrocities right genocide and crimes against humanity its calling on iraq to amend its laws or allow the engine. National criminal court to get involved lets now bring in hala after the news great she is in baghdad and shes definer of the Iraq Health Aid Organization a group that helps victims eisel thank you very much for being with us youve worked in and around mosul i understand tell us about the extent of the atrocities committed by eisel on civilians there the fate of the people also now of the group has left. Yes thank you very much for having uganda. And weve been with the moving where frontline now organization so weve been in warsaw early as january and and where there are still and were expanding to show god and. Were partners of the u. N. And if the organized nation they dont have health and so we are live witnesses and he that is the size of a city that we meet on on ground such as the survivors the female survivors of isis that we identify and we have were mandated to accompany them to their simoleons and to a mother in a. Just throw my yet they have to look serious as they leave some of them have children that they know they have to leave behind or they dont leave behind because they are not accepted by their own community is the easy to accept right children or not and a question here from one of our viewers hala who asks what is the Iraqi Government doing to help these victims of isis. Well we are the whole process is the is the Iraqi Government particulary or quit nearly constantly and committee to reach a situation where we promote peace and im coming to accept. Each others art to accept the survivors isis and their children their families. There is there is there room for community because we are rightly but very well but there is also the fact. And you talk about re concentration and i want to pick up on that how important is it though that the crimes committed by ice all be addressed how important is it that justice be done in order for the reconstitution process to work in order for these families to rebuild their loss. Well this is exactly the issue justice is done and when the end isis is identified and he says this whether its. On the ground or whether hes faking. The courts but then the family does not have to face for that price get nice its family but in the tribal law there is this punishment that may involve the whole somebody may involve male. Members of the family specifically. Did identify cases where women are taken by their own parents with their female doctors but the male sons should stay out of the villages and that is that is something in a minute syrian prospects is very difficult to comprehend so we need. We need the government says terms sirmed to apply. Regulations and pork at the same time on promoting. Free conciliation between. The citizens. Thank you so much for your insight we leave it there thank you so much for speaking to us and sharing your experience with us he is a founder of the iraq Health Organization she was joining us on the news great from baghdad now if you want to find out more about i saw as reign of terror watch this excellent film by our team at witness in lion cubs of vice all children of the caliphate boys ages and men who escaped control cities in syria give detailed account of what life is like for children under i saw some harrowing testimonies watch a film if you can aljazeera dot com just click on documentaries and then click on witness and youll find it there. And dont forget you can send your questions and comments on this story and others were covering on the news great today on facebook life facebook dot com slash a. J. News great on twitter as well dont forget a. J. The news great on to handle our aging dishes you can see on your screen you can also whats up us your questions comments and pictures of course seven four five a one triple one four nine is whats the number moving on to other world news now and a lawyer representing catalonia is deposed president says his client will fight any attempt to have him extradited from belgium back to spain as ban is judges deciding whether to issue an International Arrest warrant for qantas and he says he is in belgium for his own freedom and safety and failed to show up for a Court Appearance in madrid on ferries say several former members of his x. Regional governments have been thrown behind bars for their part in cost is secession push now we have Andrew Simmons who is standing by in boston on a force but first lets go to David Chaytor who is in brussels where collis budget is right now david so we are waiting to hear whether or not they will be an extradition request for poor john talk us through the process of what will happen if that request is made what is belgium going to have to do. Well essentially this is a case not for the belgian government but case for the belgian courts now weve been along to the federal Prosecutors Office and thats where the email or the scan will arrive with the arrest warrant documents theyll be five of them one for the deposed president of catalonia and four of his cabinet ministers now as soon as that lands in that office they check it to make sure its completely ok and then they can either order the immediate arrest of these these men or they can surrender themselves to a judge in the palace of justice now weve heard from. Karl pushed that he will cooperate with the belgian of dorothys now that means that hell probably will surrender himself mediately this arrest warrant comes through whenever it is and that means he can then go before the judge and argue his case and he will begin to say that probably he shouldnt be under detention that there is no risk of him trying to flee the belgian authorities hes come here specifically so he has the freedom and the safety of belgium and the European Union so they can continue fighting his cause and his case now theres one important point i must raise that under this legislation for the european arrest warrant there can be two exceptions and one of those is if the person has a human rights abuses that can mean that the arrest warrant is refused and the other is a much more much more complicated double legislation clause which means that the charges sedition say here in belgium have to be the same as addition in madrid and of course theres a huge separation between those two laws they want to belgium was actually on the statute books two hundred years ago the one in madrid it was nine hundred ninety five so as a lot of a lot of arguments a lot of work that could go ahead and it could take up. Ninety days possibly for this case to be resolved ok david thank you very much for that David Chaytor live for us in brussels this cross over to Andrew Symonds now were following the latest from the capital in boston owner andrew tell us about the reaction there and are these moves by the madrid government are they making the case for independence stronger in the region. Thats a hard call to make folly i think you few went to the procession is camp youd find them holding onto the most optimistic recent opinion poll in fact to choose day forty eight point seven percent for forty three point six percent against so a clear lead there although other opinion polls arent quite so favorable but the process session is do feel theres new momentum now pointing in that direction support if you look at this banner on the front of city Hall Building it says freedom for Political Prisoners now that slogan has been echoing right the way through catalonia this past thirty six hours people all over angry about the situation feeling shocked really that this jail remonde of harf the sacked cabinet has been imposed by a judge and so therefore theres a real feeling right the way across the board here in catalonia that this is a political decision thats being made by the court not a criminal war more indeed as one that relates to civil law now as far as the people who are against any secession theres a real type of politeness about protest here there are no clashes you dont get any situations on the street where one is saying one thing the other is is that theyre very rare indeed people are working to an agenda and that agenda now is becoming much more serious much more solid than the whole tone of the demonstrations you see now on thursday night in particular we found a real real passion and emotion there more so than usual i dont definite intention on the part of the political leaders to push forward towards the december the twenty first elections and that of course is the ultimate to the question you first post ok thank you for that andrew Andrew Simmons live for us same barcelona. Our lets now turn to sue turton in london for a look at the days other news. Thank you hong kong former senior politician has avoided conviction on the bribery challenge after a jury returned a hunger that for a second time that will sign chief executive between two thousand and five and twenty twelve is already out on bail after being found guilty of misconduct in april and sons future remains uncertain with the potential for retrial sarah clarke reports from hong kong. He was noted by Prince Charles for his role as finance secretary guarding hong kongs money reserves through the last two years as a british colony his popularity saw him elected chief executive in twenty five he served two terms in the top job it was his conduct between twenty ten and twenty twelve that led to his fall from grace the once popular Civil Servant became the focus of a three year investigation by the independent commission against corruption it found he accepted five years from tycoons while in the top job. In april this year he was found guilty of misconduct and was sentenced to twenty months behind bars the verdict made him the highest ranking Public Servant in hong kong to be giles but the jury failed to reach a verdict on one bribery charge forcing a retrial last month the seventy three year old returned to court he was accused of accepting half a Million Dollars from a Majority Shareholder in a t. V. Company to pay for the renovation of his penthouse apartment he later granted a license to the broadcaster triggering accusations he was using his position for personal gain the former chief executive pleaded not guilty to the charge one hundred thirty manes here void conviction for now with the judge yet to declare if theyre going to retry. Dont chung isnt the only former hong kong leader facing accusations of financial impropriety the former chief executive c. Y. Long is also accused of accepting illegal pirates from a struggling company that investigation is still underway but a conviction for chung could have ramped up the pressure to see why long to also face calls sarah clarke out easier hong kong. Israeli Security Forces say they are ready to defend the druze village of haider on the syrian side of the Golan Heights fighting has intensified there between Syrian Government forces and opposition factions at least nine people were killed and twenty one were wounded. In a suicide bombing on friday that targeted the outskirts of the village heda is populated by members of the druze a minority religious sect found in syria israel and palestinian territories and lebanon and i foresee it has more from west jerusalem. This was a sizable blast inside this village in syrian territory just three kilometers from the border fence with the Israeli OccupiedGolan Heights nine People Killed more than twenty injured and there was another injury on the israeli side of that border fence when small arms fire hit and lightly injured a druze villager from the israeli side village of. There was also a demonstration by those villages along the border fence in support of the people of the village this attack has been claimed by to hear our shams better known to many by its former name the front saying that it was trying to end the blockade of villages in the area saying that it didnt intend to harm the inhabitants or their property but warning them not to fight on the side of the assad regime there has been a call by the israeli spiritual leader of the jews are about ninety four all men to go and fight and protect their brethren on the syrian side perhaps because of that and because of the demonstration weve seen a pretty strong statement from the Israeli Military the israeli army saying that it is prepared and ready to help the villages and prevent damage or occupation of the village out of a commitment to the druze population so raising this prospect of on the ground direct military involvement in syria in the course of the civil war and also saying that the allegations of an israeli involvement and assistance to global jihadi elements in the fighting in the Golan Heights are groundless now that is an answer to both syrian accusations and drus accusations of assistance to injured. And other fighters rebel fighters whove been fighting against the assad regime so we have this prospect both of the druze village on the israeli side of the border in some discontent about the israeli line on all this one villager weve spoken to those says that things have calmed down somewhat after that initial demonstration and perhaps because of that we have this very strong message of support for the inhabitants of the village where this attack took place we. Wait and see if there are any further developments on the syrian side which could give some sort of reason for the israelis to make good on this pledge for now though it seems to be a pledge largely for the druze minority audience here in israel to try to satisfy some of their complaints and concerns colombia has signed a deal with the United Nations as aims to uproot its cocaine industry its part of ongoing peace efforts between bogota and armed groups that control the countrys drug trade agreement worth more than three hundred Million Dollars well when farmers are growing coca the base ingredient for cocaine placing it with safer crops like coffee and check out the u.

Which is not proved to be dealt with in discussion with students and thats because of the president ial report that a proposal will be that we increase the. Eighty percent of the resistance. Resistance by ten percent there is no excuse for all there is five to protest and today point there is no excuse for preventing other people being able. To write their tests and exams and to be alive.

Not a story that weve been covering on the news great extensively these past few days the United Nations wants austria. To restore food and Water Supplies to six hundred refugees who are refusing to leave it charted prison camp on proper new guineas manas island the camp was cut off after being closed on tuesday the detainees say theyre too scared to go out into the community because of previous attacks by locals now heres a graphic which showed you before but its worth looking at again to understand australias hard line immigration policy Asylum Seekers and refugees who try to reach australia by sea intercepted before they get close to the countrys shores theyre then sent back to weigh the boats departed or to offshore processing is happens on the remote Pacific Island of naro and until recently on minus island even if the detainees are found to be genuine refugees theyre told that theyll never make it to australia instead australias government tries to resettle them elsewhere in swap deals with other countries lets bring in our diplomatic editor now jane spaces at the United Nations in new york james youve spoken to the un High Commissioner for refugees about this what siyad to say you know well theres some very strong words coming out of the United Nations coming out of the United Nations in geneva where weve been hearing a News Conference from the office of the spokesperson for the High Commissioner of human rights who is speaking criticizing very strongly australia and proper new guinea and also here in new york where in recent hours ive been speaking to the High Commissioner for refugees who expressed his deep concern that were worried now about the humanitarian conditions of these people because the center is closing and no proper plans have been made to support these people so this is now the urgent matter that needs to be tackled that we believe that australia has a responsibility in helping finding a solution for this. But james c. The uns criticized australia in the past for its treatment of refugees well these latest comments make any difference well i think certainly the criticism is getting stronger from the United Nations among the things said by the office of the High Commission of human rights we repeat our overall concerns about australias offshore Processing Centers which are unsustainable inhumane and country to its human rights or blog ations but as you say the un has been condemning this policy of australia to contract out its refugee and Asylum Seeker obligations to neighboring countries ever since they started doing this and i think the key to all of this will be Public Opinion in australia because the government has had considerable support for its policy in recent years but i think even the most neutral observer would say whats going on right now a man of silent is a complete mess and how that will play out domestically in terms of Public Opinion in australian politics i think is the key to all of this james freys a diplomatic editor live for us at the United Nations in new york now weve talked about this story extensively on aljazeera but if you want to know how the man is island refugee crisis has been covered in australian media read this reporters notebook thats just been published on our website aljazeera dot com bill cohen basically explains that non sections of the australian public are hostile to the cases of these men and many others are just apathetic the story is not by any measure leading every news bulletin but theres been more interest in the pride of these men this week then theres been in months a very interesting perspective read about it on aljazeera dot com.

But many areas still havent been checked for landmines and other bombs its not uncommon to find land mines in areas where people are living over the past few years the populations been on the move to escape hunger and violence to include areas increasing the risk of stepping on landmines or unexploded devices but these devices from the previous civil war are not the only threats facing people here.

But but looking specifically in the netherlands where im where im situated. There is definitely some people showing up in clinical settings who are gaming a lot and are experiencing issues so its definitely an attractive hobby. However before you would call those people addicted it you would need a fairly good understanding of whats actually going on because for example these might be people that are suffering from underlying and different issues like depressive moves or social anxiety and if youre at home a loss then automatically gaming becomes a thread of interesting rb so this is not to say that gaming doesnt play a part in our problems right before we before we actually formalized this in addiction we need to be fairy careful in my in my opinion because the consequences of formalizing something as a disorder actually stretch out beyond the clinical treatment but since in my experience if you know if you take your argument that you know that this is these are people who are affected by external factors and then are going home you know to do to do this because there are many things going on in their nice this could also be said about alcoholism i mean external factors are also at play when people go home and have a drink every day and so on and become alcoholics and alcoholism is considered as a disease so why cant the same be for addiction to gaming. This is absolutely a valid way of looking at it and i think two thinks are important to consider here and the first would be as a society we tend to distrust new things and generally when new media present itself for example the radio was first distrusted or Elvis Presley or dungeons and dragons for the longest time some type of a moral panics present itself and im not saying thats the only thing thats going on here but we do have to be extra cautious and the second thing is that unlike alcohol or even gambling. Video gaming as a hobby is not inherently negative per se and that makes it an extra difficult subject to approach and going one step were going one step further actually its not actually entirely clear what were discussing here because fear of gaming is a fairly broad concept exactly and that. Ranges from candy crush to sophisticated online multiplayer worlds and unless we have a proper understanding of what these people are actually playing and whats actually causing the problems in there it seems a bit premature for me to actually speak starting a new disorders so definitely research we need this orus well lets go to some more effort and that would be my perspective thank you so much for sharing it with us thank you tony for speaking to us tony that rouge project leader of gaming gambling and Media Literacy joining us safe from utrecht we appreciate your time.
