More some want to come home how do we know theyre not bringing terror with them. You dont want to see that the back and to be honest they dont show in feeding off the of shame how strong is their influence well basically will only know when the next that that happens im afraid. We begin the day with germanys diesel gate changing gears from dirty to downright filthy three major german older makers dialer b. M. W. Invokes wagon are facing allegations that they manipulated tests some involving monkeys and humans to hide the Harmful Health risks of diesel emissions pseudoscience in fake news to keep the multibillion euro Diesel Engine industry on the road well tonight there is outrage from the government here in berlin and calls for a federal probe critics saying that german carmakers have used the same tactics as Tobacco Companies to convince consumers that a harmful product is really a good deal. Here at the University Clinic in aachen in two thousand and thirteen and fourteen a group of twenty five Healthy People were made to inhale nitrogen dioxide in varying concentrations over periods of hours several times a week the Car Manufacturers wanted to use the tests to determine exactly how dangerous nitrogen dioxide was to humans the tests were commissioned by the European Research organization for environment and health and financed by german car makers the w. B. M. W. And german parts supplier bosch the study was supposed to be conducted under the cover that they were to be no negative effects on the human subjects but the methods which have now been revealed have let loose a wave of indignation. Absolutely understandable that people are outraged that tests on monkeys and even on human beings cannot be ethically justified. That amounts to nothing more than hot air according to environmental organizations they say the German Government has been in bed with the automotive lobby for years. Mrs merkel is really the first cat chancellor and she even fights in brussels to make sure that Emissions Regulations are less strict and if possible not controls. And it seems there were no controls that volkswagen either the Supervisory Board says it knew nothing about the studies and is now threatening consequences. To complex business complex is reprehensible ethically morally and in that sense i think the w. Will have to hold the employees who are responsible for this accountable so they can shift. These revelations will deliver another blow to the german car industrys image. I want to bring in our words e. W. Business anchor now Helen Humphrey to talk about well for the story that seems to never intel and i mean the picture weve got tonight weve got a deep. Mission. Have always been hazardous to our health that we know as my heart attacks may because of cancer a great big lie appears to have been exposed is the german Auto Industry now as we heard earlier on par with big tobacco let me lay out the facts for the american evidence brant put it this way twenty twelve the un mandated Global Health body the World Health Organization came to the conclusion following investigations on the off the back of its research that diesel emissions were cost of the generated by cancer causing both in terms of lang and lung cancer and potentially also. Regarding the blood now w. H. O. Polls over its evidence before it declares something carcinogenic in terms of the Tobacco Industry if you want to look at that power doll that the World Health Organization has and says direct quote i decided to declare war on the Tobacco Industry so that wasnt twenty twelve forty eight to twenty thirty that was when the g. T. Research group decided to make twenty five Healthy People inhale nitrogen dioxide to try and disprove the research of w. H. O. Which attracts the top scientists the trial Top Public Health professionals and you know it tried to find out whether much in dioxide was home full despite the fact that w. H. O. Had already proven that diesel emissions which come from the combustion. Creating not just in dioxide can cause cancer just this is a clear case then of. A company or an industry using academia using research and then trying to twist it to create a false reality. As it were held in the Auto Industry how have the car makers reacted to this latest explosion is the same narrative that weve seen since the eruption of the diesel gate scandal were terribly sorry that this has happened said the Supervisory Board that said we did not know that it was happening that. Also what dima has said is well its a classic Risk Communications strategy as centrally you blame a cell of rogue employees thats what theyre trying to do now earlier in the day when i spoke to somebody who tried to give Business Advisory consultation advice to folks fogg and during the diesel gate emissions scandal hes also a moral philosopher and he said to me the reason that such a huge mistake such huge failings occur is when a company or an industry gets too big to fail almost is this market dominance and that often means that these failings the systemic there from the top down on this is that theyre huge breasts the fatal flaw is this arrogance of market dominance thats what he said to me what about the pressure now on politicians to act i think the pressure has always been that theres been accusations for a long time that the German Government and the german car industry essentially are in cahoots of course the anti has now been weve seen about statement there from the chancellor Spokes Person saying that testing all monkeys testing on humans is a poor and clearly unacceptable with also heard from the environment minister of the hendrix according it abominable the question is whether that federal probe will be nor i think at the end of the day money talks in these kind of issues and it will more likely be the pressure all the german car industry to change its ways to keep up with electric car competition which perhaps makes it clean up its act and we also have you would see theres still not a new government here in germany so everythings on hold right absolutely including just as there Helen Humphries always thank you good to have you can side instead of out in the cold you dont hear it thank you. Well tonight afghanistan is reeling from the latest in a string of terror attacks in just the last week eleven soldiers died when suicide bombers and gunmen attacked a military academy and the Security Forces in the country appeared to be buckling under the pressure of ever more extremist violence but there could be a significant and no warming transformation underway as well Islamic State has claimed responsibility for yesterdays attack the taliban apparently were not involved or were they Islamic State and the taliban while they may not be joining forces officially are coexisting in ways never noticed before the result for civilian life in afghanistan could be devastating we have this report tonight from kabul. There is no escaping the military presence on the streets of kabul for the third time within days attackers have killed victims in the Afghan Capital this time the target was the army itself militants including suicide bombers stormed a potentially a near the marshall fashion military academy and began an onslaught afghans are turning their fury on the government. Look at whats happening to this nation youre not able to control the Current Situation its better that the security ministers resign what kind of government and ministry is this if youre not even able to secure the city. The Afghan DefenseMinistry Says two gunmen were killed in the exchange of fire and two others died often detonating their suicide vests one other was arrested now people want to know how the attacks keep happening in a city already on to tighten security measures. This album. He is a middle east security analyst hes a regular here on the day its good to have you back here at the big table why is this happening maybe what were seeing it was just afghanistan first why does these attacks appear to be so bold right now and why do these. Are the taliban why do they appear to be willing to attack places that are so well secured. First the government is weak and that is something we have seen for years and now. With isis or with us enough to understand there is a new professionalism we have seen all over the place in yemen and libya and egypt that this is seems to be a stronger insurgent opponent than the taliban or other organizations have been in recent years and they do attack hard targets. Its stronger than the taliban i mean it itself is a Remarkable Development is it possible to say that the taliban is an Islamic State are they on a course to merge in some way in the future thats too early to tell by and large the taliban are stronger insurgent organization well i says its more professional terrorism wise. In perpetrating terrorist attacks but what we do see is that i guess has lost its core it doesnt have a capital anymore it has lost muscle it has lost its syrian capital syria and there might not be the money flowing from rock or mosul to afghanistan anymore so that new we might see new coalitions emerging among afghan insurgents perhaps in the end even between the taliban but i think that is too early to tell let me ask you about the collapse of Islamic State in syria in iraq. The jihad is the fighters they are we were fighting for Islamic State where are they now. First and foremost they are dead many of them have died in in recent months especially especially in syria many of them have escaped to turkey and the turkish government doesnt seem to be in control of the situation and some of them are in jail right now they have turned themselves in to jordanian authorities at the border they have turned themselves into the kurds and north and syria but also in iraq but i think that many of them have escaped to turkey the big question is where do they go from there its possible that they go to afghanistan its possible that they go to north africa the problem is as always in recent years the turkish government that is not willing. I guess as it should there are people people looking at the story from the outside or maybe surprised by that why would turkey not want to seal its borders i mean why would they a well z. Hard to come in well first they believe that by supporting isis and other organizations at least passively supporting it by letting all the foreign fighters travel through turkey they could weaken the syrian kurds now they are fighting the syrian kurds themselves and i think. Is revenge they have always complained to the americans but especially to the europeans that we do not personally prosecute the p. K. K. As we should and that is why they that is why they followed these policies in the past and i think thats one of the reasons why they dont prosecute i as less income through the country possibly didnt end up in europe the but i think that european European Border controls at least in most countries in the stronger countries are better then than in previous years but they might go to other other countries where we dont expect them just like in north africa they might go they might even go to the caucasus we have seen examples in recent months where important personnel was able to leave syria go to go through turkey for example to georgia and nobody expected a larger terrorist cell over there but it it was a it was done very as always we appreciate you coming on and giving us your analysis thank you. Well these are called Islamic State is facing major setbacks on the ground in syria and iraq as we heard some say it is actually completely defeated bill that means many of the fighters who flocked to join us are returning to their home countries many of them came from right here from europe so how are those countries dealing with them how much of a threat do they still pose these are huge questions our brussels correspondent terry shal forward their trunks to belgium the country where our u. S. Managed to find the most terrorist recruits in europe and she joins me now from brussels good evening to you terry so tell us tell us what what did you find in belgium. Well as. Explained many of these fighters in fact are not coming back to Europe Europe had been warned for years that it would be facing the the worst terrorist threat ever when some of its citizens decided to leave the socalled caliphate of the Islamic State and come back to their home countries some with with good intentions some with regret some very much intending to continue the violence in their homeland in fact it hasnt been an exodus at all its been more like a trickle of foreign fighters coming back but as i found when i went to speak to local communities in billboard and and lost a lot of their young people to Islamist Groups any number of returning uses a challenge lets take a look at every port now and listen to the people that you talk with. This park in antwerp was a hotspot for islamist recruiters luring young belgians to battlefields in syria and iraq now some of them are headed back making many communities nervous earlier returning is trying to reintegrate in society are reluctant to be identified antwerp city councilor he shall mounseer know some of them personally and ask them to share their stories with me nobody was willing to speak with many of them came back with a huge feeling of shame. And they dont want to to show that to show their name or to read to be on t. V. To say i went there and i was a fool and they came back there are some exceptions laura persone was all over t. V. In two thousand and sixteen publicizing her book about being an Islamic State militants bride in syria she decided to escape when her four year old son was taught to behead a teddy bear as shown in this jihadi propaganda now put sony occasionally visit schools as part of the belgian governments anti radicalization efforts but she declined our multiple requests for an interview some are attorneys have other motives for staying in the shadows those are the ones that were there and towards Muslim Community they dont want to history to see the back and to be obviously dont show any feeding off of shame. For st its about the fact that. Theyre from the fortys losing but you know here. Thats how returning mikail della fortress seems to feel set free after receiving a suspended sentence for tree also wrote a book and publicly praised Islamic State he said his only regret was coming back we couldnt speak with him as hes in prison on unrelated charges sources tell me returning is and their families are urged to keep a low profile by belgian authorities but theyre not the only ones im told the brother of a belgian fighter gave a Television Interview a couple of years ago with his i. Kennedy disguised but Islamic State supporters found him and beat him up very badly a warning to others to keep quiet local communities are figuring out how to deal with people who return their border just north of brussels many youths left this suburb to join us mayer has been to has taken a personal interest in them he visits them in prison to make sure they understand their choices he warns them that after their release they will be under constant scrutiny but thats not all he tells them the second thing i said is when you are free you are a free man you have had your punishment and you have to write a new that help you and all the opportunities. To do to give you all the opportunities to reintegrate and opposed to. Want to gives us an example of how his city supported one return he committed to being a law abiding citizen by being completely transparent about the situation and the informant the employer was ready to give him a chance after all the information that we have got transferred to let them call you the same thing on the housing side. That man is still a Success Story two years later but there are more i guess followers being groomed peter van listing in one of the best known researchers of the belgian Jihad Movement says he sees no decrease in pro jihad language on social media how strong is their influence well basically with. The next that that happens in the freight however the belgian government appears a bit more optimistic than benoist again it has reduced to the National Terror threat level meaning an attack is no longer considered probable but rather unlikely. For me its very its fascinating looking at this because what authorities have to do what neighbors have to do is the best is basically assume and guess whats going through the minds of people who are yes five years at some point every considering that. Hell have European Countries have theyve been handling this i mean can we talk about a common policy at all. No we cant talk about a common policy but whats happening in most countries brant is that anyone any rich or any who is known to be coming back and thats not all of them but if if theyre known if theyve been flagged if turkey has lets you know one of the European Countries know that that its sending a fighter back that that person is is met with with the highest of security at the airport that they are taken and interrogated and in belgium for example they are automatically presumed to be going into prison and then they kick in the interviews they find out that truly this person had nothing to do with any violence didnt commit any you know any any murders didnt significantly contribute to Islamic State activities perhaps they can have a suspended sentence but most of the people in belgium are going to jail and that increasingly includes women as well and im told by experts that women generally were not prosecuted and they found to be posing as much a threat as the men and so now the women also routinely routinely go to jail and what about the people. Or kept for example in iraq what will happen if. They are. Well thats a big issue right now and european governments are in a bind because some of them have said publicly and some of them just think it privately they dont really want these people back these are some of the fighters who stayed on so they clearly hadnt had a change of heart and wanted to come back and start a new life and many of them hundreds of them are now rounded up in iraq and are expected to face a rocky justice now this is a problem for europe because europe is against the Death Penalty and this people are very likely to face the Death Penalty in court in iraq so governments are being asked what are you going to do about these citizens who are there and at the moment we dont have an answer in fact the iraqi ambassador here in belgium is said that they dont plan to send them back they very much want to try them there in iraq theres an issue with there Something Like eight hundred children who are believed to be belgian. That are being held in this camps and they pose another question of course and now belgium is looking at proving the belgian heritage of these children and bringing them back so there are a lot of very difficult questions facing not only return ease but facing the people that have been that are stuck basically rounded up after the Islamic State collapsed. The children who do come back if they are there under the age of ten then they can come back but but even if they are lets say nine to ten years old if they were with Islamic State theyve already been indoctrinated in murder havent. And thats right there woman that you saw in my piece laura persone she came back when her four year old had been taken off to a Training Program and came back and showed her how he had been taught to saw the head off a teddy bear so they are starting the indoctrination the tendency toward violence the hatred at such a young age that even these ten year olds who are are being brought back will have certainly suffered suffered a lot of trauma in this way and theyre going to take a very a lot of work to reintegrate them both for society to accept them and for the children themselves too to realize theres another way to live back here in europe is a difficult situation for everyone involved on regardless of where they happen to be or were they in dump teri schultz on the story for us tonight from brussels terry thank you very much. Oh the stars of the music business descended on new york city for the industrys annual Grammy Awards last night the surprise winner of the night was bruno mars who beat out some tough competition the likes of jay z.
