The ordinary. Im sorry so misconducts good to have you with us we start in the Southern Philippines where the island of mindanao is facing another year under martial law after President Rudd we go to terra to extended the measure last year Murali City On Mindanao was the scene of a five month battle when Government Troops were deployed to qual and insurgency by militants allied to the socalled Islamic State more than one thousand people were killed and half a million were displaced today were now we lies in ruins
a team of reporters has just returned from the city with this exclusive report. This force the center of today residents call it ground zero. We get the militarys permission to enter a selective pots and a warrant about unexploded devices last year a few hundred i asked inspired fighters holed up in mosques and houses the army with help from the United States responded with relentless air raids in this type of warfare you have to flush out the enemy from their defensive position and you can only do that number one through using bombs or heavy artillery bombardment. But people here paid a very high price for the five month long battle. Hundreds were killed they are buried in these mosque graves. Most of the victims were never identified
denying their families closure. Over Sixty Five Thousand people remain displaced many are still searching for their life once. He. Has lost four of her eight children she believes they were taken hostage and used as human shields. For simply uses i feel a very deep pain inside of me i missed my children they were gone in a Blink Of An Eye i cant be with them anymore. Martial law remains in force with soldiers everywhere the impoverished region has witnessed decades of conflict between muslims and christians who make up the vast majority of the filipino population many young muslims few disenfranchised. Last year afterwards spied on the military passing on details of Troop Movements to i asked fighters holed up in morocco he tells us that he stood ready to fight for an Islamic State. Because it was i wouldnt fight and while were all we again or in any other muslim area here in the same thing will happen again our own muslim people would get hurt but if the battle happens elsewhere i will join. Someone. Like many others up to blames president roderigo do territory for Balmain Merapi the government has promised reconstruction and great to muslim autonomy but until those promises are full of fote angry young men like up to it will continue to pose a threat. As man was part of the team filming in morocco a city and she joins us to talk more about the story sandra thank you so much for. Joining us a lot of us are familiar with the socalled Islamic States presence in syria in
iraq how deeply rooted are the islamists in the philippines well there is a longstanding insurgency there is a lot of potential for an Islamist Insurgency and as isis losing territory in iraq and syria there is the threat of moving over like up to here he told us when he was receiving Jihadi Training In The Jungle camp in spring of Two Thousand And Fifteen there are about thirty foreign fighters in his camp alone and these foreign fighters mainly hate from neighboring countries Indonesia Malaysia but also from arab countries and from chechnya as he said it and as long as there are grievances longstanding grievances which are not addressed i think the potential is there and International Organizations like al qaeda and Islamic State you know they do want you know to establish themselves in Southeast Asia and mindanao as it is is a place where they can grow roots i want to ask you about those grievances in
a moment but first those pictures are just stunning you know this is such a devastated city how are residents coping. They conflict with and they conned rebuilt the house because the entire area is still very much sealed off so were looking at about Sixty Five Thousand people who are displaced who are you know in Emergency Refugee Camps or squatting with relatives. You know unrooted and there is a high rate of unemployment especially affecting young people like opto who in the. Government just not doing anything for us. We pick up weapons again he said in the report he worked with i assume would do it again why is that where does this incredible anger stem from is it the unemployment is the Economic Situation it is i think many poverty and unemployment because he didnt come across as a deeply religious person in the whole and if you look at mindanao it is
a very impoverished area there is a longstanding conflict historically you know if you look back to colonial times. Between christians and muslims and the philippines as it is is a many Roman Catholic country only five percent of the population are muslim and they you know have this feeling that they are a victims of historical injustice that they are suppressed that they are disenfranchised that they are not part of political Decision Making in the country and this is something Jihadi Organizations can easily exploit with young people like up to argue to the center peter is not speaking to us this morning thank you so much for sharing your reporting with us.

With. British Prime Minister theresa may is expected to warn lawmakers later today against seeking
a second referendum on prices and they will be briefing the House Of Commons on talks she held with european leaders set last weeks e. U. Summit to travel to brussels seeking to renegotiate parts of her brakes a deal with the u. But it has faced so much opposition from lawmakers that some of mays own aides have reportedly begun backing a second vote as the only way to break the impasse agree with particularly the lets get the latest on credit with john worth a political blogger who writes extensively on braggs ajanta good good to have you back with us we heard there the truce amazing specter to warn m. P. s against a second referendum why is she so against this possibility she still bucking her own deal lets take you. Such a painstaking negotiations two to agree and she Still Believes thats the right way forward she thinks shes delivering on that vote from Two Thousand And Sixteen and doesnt want to put that very it back to the people in a second referendum she thinks it would be very divisive to the British Society if you did that. Nevertheless the difficulty is shes not making any headway in
parliament gets her own view through and so therefore maybe a second referendum might be the way of breaking that log jam their minds however that theresa may already maybe a month ago refused to even countenance the idea that a second referendum was was possible today shes probably going to talk about why shes still opposed to it so something has changed shes even talking about some of a referendum now something that just a month ago she refused to even countenance it does seem like that the momentum around a second referendum is growing now we sent our reporter out in london to get some voices here what people have to say about the possibility of that and starting with just outside Parliament One of the big problems is that theres been a bit of a lack of trust and misunderstanding across all the parties whether thats between britain and the you whether its been the two sides of the argument here in britain theres just not enough dialogue going and constructive dialogue and so if we can just get out a little bit of trust and goodwill back into the the talks then hopefully we can move things on a little bit were going to miss out on lots of things and i think nobody
appreciated when this stupid. Was done in twenty sixteen just how many aspects of our life and everybodys life in europe it was going to affect we still dont know what is going to be the rules if we dont know if we still be able to travel freely in europe so. We just waited on the. Stuff to athens to honest. John that sentiment really seems to sum things up a lot of uncertainty a lot of frustration on the streets as we heard there we are still looking ahead to that vote in Parliament Expected to take place in january and it seems like there is no majority in British Parliament for anything what what would Parliament Vote for there is no brit variant that commands Majority Support in parliament and thats the essence of the whole problem here to resume a steal some kind of soft of brakes its something that britain have a closer economic relationship with the European Union or the more radical option
is leaving without a deal movers options for france and command Majority Support thats because ultimately the whole prospector breaks it was sold on a false premise that essentially the brits and leaving the European Union it would be an easy negotiation but not one of any difficulties in managing to leave the block and so we now know that was not to be not what was not so so rare essentially two ways out britain could just stop the clock on the whole thing or essentially if you go for a second referendum as a way out of the on purpose and the clock is still ticking because ultimately britain is supposed to manage to deliver a break by twenty ninth of march Two Thousand One thousand nine hundred days away from today and there is no prospect of the moment working out a way forward as the solution but in the key argument for such a second referendum is essentially to Say Westminster is blocks nothing to get through westminster put that issue back to the people involved a controversial way of looking at a political problem but it also is unprecedented in bridge political history the palm that would be brought in in such a complicated manner was just very briefly john what does the e. U. Do at this point just sit back and watch it go to sit back and watch theres nothing else the European Union can we do theres nothing else European Union can really offer and thats the reason why the summit last week to reason may go so little what can you brussels give because it whichever way brussels would go that would also be an unpopular this is essentially a problem in london in the House Of Commons and until the blockage is removed were not going to make any progress here where thanks again for your analysis. To sports and in sundays Bundesliga Action are be like sick hammered minds to keep their place in the top four as so often with the bowls a season it was their strong attack that helped them lock down another three points. Like six regular attackers use of post send and team over no where back in the starting line up unlike at their midweek Europa League match and they went right on the offensive house and opening the scoring in the fourteen minutes i am getting to Kevin Kompas Cross just before the mice defenders. Like seacrest finds deep in
their own half and sprang into action when they won the ball ive seen the banner setting up house and to make it to nil only five minutes later the second death of the day and eight of the season. Shortly before half time the visitors finally created a chance and cut the money see both hit the target in the face of some sloppy leipzig defending that score encouraged minds to be bolder Going Forward but it opened up a lot of space for leipsic to counter attack team over making everyone in the seventy fifth minute and putting the results beyond doubt. And in the final minutes van have bagged his fifth brace of the campaign for one the final score like six attacking do house and invent out made all the difference. All right lets check out the biggest standings at the end of the weekend a dortmund now have
