S. Capital washington to discuss the best way to defeat i still this is the 2nd time the Global Coalition against eisel has been has met this year the meeting was called to review their strategies after the recent death of isolate Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi there is mike hanna has more on this now from washington. This week the commemoration of the soldiers who lost their lives in service and speaking at a veterans day event in new york President Donald Trump highlights what he regards as the signature military victory just a few weeks ago American Special forces raided the isis compound and brought the worlds number one terrorist leader to justice thanks to a barrack in war out baghdad is dead. The killing of abu bakar bug daddy was welcomed by all members of the Global Coalition to defeat isis but most were less enthusiastic about another recent development that had a major impact in northeast syria the unilateral withdrawal of u. S. Forces from the region which led to a massive military operation by turkey against Kurdish Militia that had long been fighting alongside coalition forces. The kurds had forced i sold out of Northern Syria and assumed the governance of the land they captured losing an estimated 11000. 00 troops in the process but now the kurds have been driven from many of their strongholds by the Turkish Military and with the u. S. Protection stripped away they are turning to russia and syria for support on the ground at least the Global Coalition is beginning to pregnant the division intensified by President Trumps decision to redeploy u. S. Forces to guard oil fields in northwest syria we want to bring our soldiers home but we did leave soldiers because were keeping the oil i like the oil were deep in the oil this unilateral shift in objectivism deep concern to a number of members in the coalition with some contending the seizing of Oil Facilities in a sovereign state contravenes geneva conventions in russia has an excellent propaganda point now President Trump has made the u. S. Mission in the cold ocean about the only secure in the world but taking the oil and profiting from it in moscow theyre going to have a heyday accusing the United States and its allies of stealing oil i mean in the imperialist war its a subject that will be at the heart of discussions at the u. S. State department this week all agree the situation in northeast syria has grown even more complicated but many members of the coalition argue this is a consequence of unilateral u. S. Action the seizure of oil fields a particular point of division one that could threaten the unity of a group that is held together in the 5 years since it was formed by khanna aljazeera washington of oslo in jordan joins us live now from washington we know u. S. Officials have been concerned about the possible reemergence of ice and what was the focus of todays talks. That was the number one focus trying to make certain that even though the caliphate has been dismantled in both Northern Syria and in iraq to make certain that eisel does not find a way to reconstitute itself and to try to once again put hundreds of thousands of people under their control theres also the concern about eisel inspiring other groups to try to take up separate efforts this is something which might pompei of the u. S. Secretary of state addressed when he opened the conference on thursday morning today were watching the space once occupied by this fraudulent caliphate like a hawk thats why were maintaining our residual president saddam from southern syria and a capacity to conduct air operations we reposition some of our troops in northeast syria and in the broader region as well to make sure that isis will never get a 2nd wind and to prevent isis from recapturing the oil fields. Weve got assurances from Coalition Partners and our partners on the ground on their responsibility for foreign fighters and well hold them to account and of course it was important is that you still have u. S. Troops in science Northeast Area one of the other issues we had about today. Well daryn there was also the very real concern about what to do about foreign fighters should they be tried in the countries where theyre captured or should they be repatriated returned to their home countries where their home governments could hold them accountable for what they did in both iraq and in syria and what do you do about the civilians the mostly women and children who follow these fighters to syria to syria and to iraq there was a real discussion of a general agreement i should say that the repatriations should be carried out but if there are lots of other questions whos going to pay for it how easy will it be to try to reintegrate especially Young Children back into their home countries so that there is not what one official called another generation of eisel members being brought to adulthood so a lot of work to be done no one answer has been established but there was a general agreement coming out of this conference merriam that this is another significant issue that must be addressed and must be addressed quickly thank you very much roslyn jordan with the latest from washington.

Get out of this we followed journalists on the front line to speak. Pretty committed to reporting the front Police Officers im going to german this is serious stuff home fact and fiction the truth is it anyway. 0. A look at the headlines now a fragile ceasefire between israel and the Islamic Jihad appears to be holding despite sporadic rocket fire 34. 00 palestinians have been killed in israeli airstrikes including 3 women and 8 children. Some a german citizen suspected of being part of i still have arrived in ballin after being deported from turkey the latest in a wave of repatriations it comes as Foreign Ministers from more than 30 nations meet in washington to discuss the best way to defeat myself. The investigation into the 2014 downing of a Malaysia Airlines flight m h 17 as found evidence that strongly connects russia to ukrainian fight as in the east phone call recordings have been released leading up to the attack which killed all 298 people who were on board. Now the International Criminal court has agreed to investigate crimes against the muslims of myanmar the i. C. C. Says there is reason to believe military committed widespread acts of violence that could qualify as crimes against humanity more than 700000 rango have fled raca in state since a military crackdown in august 2017 majority of them escaped to neighboring bangladesh taking refuge in coaxes bazaar camp thousands of rango were killed in the violence which the United Nations has described as ethnic cleansing the un report last year called from military leaders to be put on trial for genocide. All right it is a visiting scholar at Queen Mary University who has research they were doing the situation and joins me in the studio now still a great deal to be done but how important a decision is this for the victims of crimes and atrocities was symbolically very important for those whove had absolutely no success throughout their lives in terms of achieving justice through me and my system now theyve got an opportunity i think to see their might in the future be some justice to be had through the International Legal system but its a sign i think as well the justices going to catch up slowly but it is going to catch up with the perpetrators of these crimes within me and ma and i do not that the i. C. C. In its announcement today did not suggest that it was soley the military of myanmar that it that will be investigated they said they will undertake theyve approved an investigation to be undertaken and theyve encouraged by this statement that perpetrators of crimes need to stop perpetrating those crimes against the regime that this regime did in myanmar at the moment who the un says are at imminent danger of genocide and this since a strong message to the military and to me in mars civilian authorities that they need to stop genocide or practices against the really youre with the hope is that justice and accountability might be some sort of detachments how slow is this process likely to be it will take more than years it could take a decade and a half a minute if we look at the example of the rwandan tribunal were seriously talking about a decade and a half i would hope that weve learned lessons since then and that we can move quicker but me and my will do its best to frustrate this process theres no question that me and my does not want justice to catch up with it. And. I mean obviously theyre not going to cooperate with any of this are we likely to see those at the highest levels of power prosecuted i think its highly likely based on the that anyone whos visited the camps in bangladesh anyone whos seen what is apartheid conditions for go within me and and theyve been a part of conditions that have existed for decades within me and anyone whos seen that will not that it is likely that the people responsible will be prosecuted so why is it taken so long just to authorize this investigation will the International Criminal court didnt have a referral from the u. N. Security council in many respects is the International Criminal court looking at the situation in myanmar and deciding for itself that the interests of justice can be served by action i mean made was not a signatory to the rome statute no it came to bangladesh which is a signatory so what does that mean for the remit of the International Criminal court will this expansive i mean what the i. C. C. Has decided is that the crime of deportation its a crime against humanity undertaken by me and maher against the saints from me and mar nonsignatory but sent them into a signatory country in the chief prosecutor of the i. C. C. Likened it to a cross border shooting she said that the crimes not complete till the bullet leaves the gun in one country and kills the victim in the other and thats what were seeing here that the crime of deportation began in myanmar but didnt end until the wrecking you had been deported to bangladesh part of those alleged crimes took place on territory in bangladesh thank you very much for any appreciate it.

Years of conflict in sudan has left many people struggling to Access Health care those living in rural areas often have to travel to the capital to receive medical treatment but even for those living there getting treatment can also be difficult as have a logan reports when her son abraham was born 6 years ago it was 3 thoughts living in sudans capital how to would make it easy to get medical help he suffers from brain damage sustained at birth as well as malnutrition and anemia his eldest sister had malaria and jaundice and died after being diagnosed late and was through her fears that with treatment being so expensive it brought him to suffer the same fate.
