Parliament earlier this week. Oh surprise for a breakthrough in the treatment of h. I. V. Researchers in the u. S. Say they have managed to eradicate the virus in infected mice. Plus a drama and heartache as the netherlands and sweden go into extra time at the womens world cup will go live to the host city on france for highlight. Im sumi so much got to thank you for joining us the Somali Terrorist Group alshabaab has been waging a campaign of violence in somalia for more than a decade there a mystery place the u. N. Backed government to impose islamic law and African Union force has managed to seize back control of many cities including the capital mogadishu but. Still control around 20 percent of the country now to weaken the organization the government is offering amnesty to some militants who leave alshabaab some of those defectors are in a Rehabilitation Center in Southern Somalia. Got exclusive access. That they were part to fit killing machine terrorizing somalias population but now theyre asking for forgiveness this facility in juba land is home to 86 young man who used to fight for one of the deadliest islamist extremist groups in the world. Here in Southern Somalia in a town once undeceived by al shabaab a program is being implemented to rehabilitate one extremist fighters with the hope of peacefully reintegrating them into society. The former fighters here mostly men aged between 24 and 29 have been granted amnesty and seeking a 2nd chance 2 of them are willing to share why they decided to defect. For their safety and security we have withheld the location and Real Identities by calling them and that he said was just 15 years old when he joined the group 5 years ago but the. First people join because the religion they say you are promoting religion but this is just a front actually theyre killing innocent people for no reason or to fight in this could be. Similarly who joined us at the age of 16 it took him 8 years to escape from the group to see. If they also killed muslims in their tank when i saw my people dying i decided i had to break away of the. Many men growing up in disenfranchised and poor parts of the country into joining the financial reasons and to spend that belonging. To address this these men now received. Occasional in training and hands on group classes. I did not know how to live within society i learned that here ive learned how to support myself. But many here still haunted by night as they struggle to pay them hyundai were capable of such violence. Just 70 kilometers away from this now peaceful town peacekeepers mandated by the African Union us to waging a war against the militant group. But. We have fought a lot and liberated several areas in the past 2 or 3 months. We are also working on a plan to liberate the areas still under the control of alshabaab and hand them over to the somali army. To me. Back at the rehabilitation facility these young men receive professional psychological support. But above all its companionship and leisure time that are helping them to overcome the trauma. Of what we can talk to each other about all the things weve done wrong and give each of us support about how not to fall back into our destructive winds. For somalia a hope for the birth of a United Government and for my life i hope to work for the benefit of my country and for my people with their new skills he sent a comment intend to make a positive contribution to society again to help other young people than the stake of joining up in the 1st place. Melanie reported that story for us from somalia she joins us for more from nairobi now hi melanie just put this into context for us how powerful is somalia right now. Despite the long and ongoing comment operations by African Union peacekeepers and some on the Security Forces still controls large swathes of the countries it has been flushed out of some strategic seduce including the capital but it still holds a lot of territory especially in rural areas is well known to be using indiscriminate violence against the somali population but its also well known to be able to generate revenues to take good care financial kept its fighters and to provide services that many somalis have to turn to in the absence of strong state institutions so in many ways the group really draws its power from the absence of the state the weakness of the somali state for such a powerful militant group in somalia melanie how difficult is it for fighters to leave this group. The group makes it incredibly difficult to leave many alshabaab fighters from alshabaab as i spoke to at this facility told me that they were warned numerous times that if they did leave they would have lethal violence coming that way so of course bad terrified of retaliation this is why we had to hide their identities but they were also saying that they are hopeful that they can inspire us to do the same and to lead us in this facility a total of 300. 00 man have been rehabilitated there are a few other programs like this one across the country but many somalis and especially fighters. Is doubting they dont know about the current programs yet so the hope is really that those who have been rehabilitated who reintegrating into society that they are the ones who can inspire them to even swell melanie given that indiscriminate violence that you mentioned carried out against Somali People how do somalis feel about an Amnesty Program given their experiences with alshabaab. The people ive spoken to on the ground. Really do believe that the Amnesty Program and Rehabilitation Centers like this one absolutely essential in order to pave the way for peace and to get rid of we went to a city which has been liberated from us above a few years ago and its only coming back to life its becoming home to returning refugees to internally displaced somalis settling in the area but listening to their stories to the stories of women who lost their husbands to us of women who have been on the run for years of people who cannot return to their villages just yet because the area is still controlled by alshabaab its impossible not to feel that fear and that pain that people are terrified still there is no such thing as feeling safe but there is hope and a program like this one is what is giving the people hope that right due to these melanie credible reporting for us thank you very much. The u. N. Security council has held an emergency session after the bombing of a Refugee Center in libya killed at least 40 people but the council sale to agree on a joint statement in response to the attack some diplomats said the u.

Could be on the brink of a breakthrough in finding a cure for hiv theyve managed to completely remove the virus from the d. N. A. Of infected mice theyre hoping its a big step towards developing a cure for humans. Until now it was impossible to remove h i v completely from someone infected with the virus but to us scientists come and how it again dillman pursuing a new approach that combines 2 methods 1st they treat mice with antiviral drugs over a sustained period of time although these drugs repress the virus they dont reach whats already settled in the animal cells so the researches use the socalled crisper cats method also known as gene says which enables the removal of genes from the genome this spelled success for the scientists attempts to destroy the inactive viruses as well the results are promising a 3rd of the mice treated stop showing signs of h. I. V. But if the research is used only one of the 2 methods the hiv indicators remained in the body how would kendall men says the study is an important step to advance treatment of h. I. V. From for this observation the science is that we generate the ability to eliminate hiv. Infected human. Gives us that 1st step that the potential for your is within our grasp the new method will next be tested on monkeys if those experiments show signs of success the 1st human clinical studies could be carried out as early as next summer. To the womens soccer world cup now and the netherlands have secured their spot in sundays final against defending champs the u. S. Now the european champions were pushed to the limit by sweden but prevailed thanks to a goal in extra time. The 2nd semifinal in 2 days in leone started with more crunching tackles than clear cut chances. Say go quick to close down vienna medium are here. Both sides could have scored in the 2nd half but both keepers fiercely defended their goals swedens neela fischer was denied by a fingertip save from sorry 51 and before a bullet header from media was met by an equally impressive stop from heydrich lindahl the other. Ultimately neither team was able to break through in 90 minutes in extra time though a superhero from distance shot of the day i Jackie Gruner with her 1st ever world cup goal sending the netherlands into their 1st ever world cup final. No chance for keeper lindahl and no way back for her side only the mighty us now stand in the netherlands way. Oliver moody founded of new sports is in the over hes been following the womens world cup for us good morning ali what did you think of the 2nd time semifinal. Well we were really spoiled with the 1st semifinal between the u. S. And england you know that was a game that really had everything in it the 2nd semifinal did not live up to those standards really it was quite a drab 90 minutes before we went to actual time by teams were playing quite defensive football and that didnt really give the the quality attacking players a chance to shine and also i think many of them just went on form because thats all aside from the goal itself that was a moment of real quality jackie going in there latching on to a loose ball outside the box and firing home i thought it was a really well taken strike and actually it was a moment that sitting there in the stands watching it made me think why couldnt we have seen more moments like this and in this game there are quality players on both sides and that if anything kind of made the the rest of the match look worse but ultimately the novel is what got them into the final and thats all that counts and now the dutch have to face the defending champions the u. S. Do they have a chance in their 1st world cup final. They do have a chance but you would have to think its going to be a slim chance certainly theyre going to have to play a whole lot better than they did against sweden in the semifinal and particular an attack theyre going to have to be the much better much quicker at playing the ball forward than they were gets when if they go in if theyre going to trouble the u. S. Back line theyre going to be sweating i think on the fitness of matsons the formal player of the year now she has been struggling with a tough injury throughout this tournament she had to go off half t
