Midnight in london, and 7pm in washington, where the firestorm following President Trumps latest comments blaming both sides for the violence in charlottesville, virginia continues to burn. Business leaders have joined two former republican president s in condemning his stance. The bbcs North America Editorjon Sopel reports. Amazing grace. The Memorial Service for Heather Heyer, an anti racism protestor mown down by a white supremacist in charlottesville on saturday. But far from this being an occasion when a nation comes together, america seems more bitterly divided than ever. They tried to kill my child to shut her up. Well, guess what . You just magnified her. Applause this was charlottesville on friday night racist groups chanting jews will not replace us, carrying ku klux klan style torches, and also marching to the slogan white lives matter. Yesterday, the president blamed both sides for the violence that ensued. You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side you can call them the left, you have just called them the left that came violently attacking the other group, so you can say what you want, but that is the way it is. It is true there was violence on both sides. But the race hate protesters had come tooled up for trouble. Many carried guns. This is not the army, but a right wing militia that turned up bristling with weaponry. Most had clubs, helmets and shields with white supremacist insignia. The anti racism demonstrators were not organised, they were mostly local people among whom a small core had come to fight. But donald trump seeming to draw a moral equivalence between swastika carrying neo nazis and anti racism protesters has brought near universal condemnation. The senior republican paul ryan tweeting the only significant voice of support last night came from the former leader of the ku klux klan, david duke, who said there is reported to be Deep Unhappiness among some senior white house staff over the president s comments. He had not been due to say anything and significantly, a new intervention this time from two the former living republican president s George Hw Bush and George W Bush saying there is no room for bigotry or Anti Semitism in todays america. Donald trump left new york today to resume his hardly quiet or relaxing holiday. More isolated from the political and Business Establishment than at any time since he took office.

The so called Islamic State is collapsing in the middle east and attention is turning to fighters returning home, some of them still very young. Its believed at least 2,000 children have gone through is Military Training. They are known as the lion cubs. The bbc has discovered some of them now living in europe with the authorities unaware of their past. Quentin sommerville has this special report. This is childhood in the so called Islamic State. This footage, filmed secretly in raqqa and passed to the bbc, is of what bis calls the cubs of the caliphate. They are Child Soldiers, barely teenagers. Armed to the teeth, their guns are almost too big for them. Even as iis is collapsing, its investing in its future. Is is collapsing. Its a slow and steady defeat. This was iss capital in iraq. Mosuls hull city is now in ruins. This is where the is war machine suffered its biggest defeat but it isnt the end of them. Here the fighters honed their skills. This was their training ground. Imagine fighting in this and then surviving. Well, some did was not some escape, and some have made it to europe. We travelled to belgium, and there we met ahmed. Hejoined is when he to belgium, and there we met ahmed. He joined is when he was just 15. Translation they taught me how to use a kalashnikov. We stayed for seven days in mosul. They kept talking about martyrdom operations. I was brainwashed and i believed it. I told my family, you cant change my thoughts, and, no matter what you do, im going to stay. He became disillusioned with is and escape, first to turkey, and then to europe. The other it is here dont know about his past. They were my enemies but now im living among them, eating and drinking among them. When all this happen, i started to hate my entire past and started to establish a new life. Hes not alone. We travelled to germany, where we met motassin. Again, his usual means his is membership has gone undetected here. Is youth. He was one of many groomed by the group. They would give is whatever we wa nted group. They would give is whatever we wanted and tell us we were the best, that we were right and all the others were wrong and must fear us. They would also allow us to carry oui weapons wherever we go. They would also allow us to carry our weapons wherever we go. For two weeks, he underwent Military Training and was killed in sharia law. He was assigned to a media unit. 0thers, though, volunteered for suicide missions. They prefer children to adults because they can use them to bomb between civilians. Nobody would expect that a 11 or 16 year old boy would bomb himself. Both teenagers that we met say theyve turned their backs on is but, as we travelled across europe, we learned of at least three more young fighters living here. We approached the eu police force europol, but they declined to comment. Europe is still vulnerable but its here where the journey begins. 0n the turkish border, Syrian Refugees can still scramble through between Sea Rchlights Syrian Refugees can still scramble through between searchlights and guard towers. Near the border, i met People Smugglerfrom guard towers. Near the border, i met People Smuggler from raqqa, guard towers. Near the border, i met People Smugglerfrom raqqa, one of many still operating. He helps One Of The Boys make it from is territory to europe in only a month. Translation ive helped many, a huge number. The route is getting worse. It used to be easier in 2014 and 2015. Now the situation is more difficult thanks to the presence of us backed forces. You have to go through the kurds, the rebels and the us forces. Its difficult. Is is not yet defeated. Its territory is shrinking and its supporters fleeing. These are the final days of the so called caliphate, but still the so called caliphate, but still the Islamic State is no less of a threat. And, amid these ruins, they leave behind a Legacy Hundreds of Child Soldiers and a new generation of hate. America and chinas most senior Military Leaders will meet for a third day in beijing on wednesday. The us Generaljoseph Dunford and his chinese counterpart general fang fenghui have a lot to discuss, not least how to deal with north korea. I spoke to victor gao who is director of the China National association of international studies. He was also an interpreter for the former Chinese Communist leader deng xiaoping. I began by asking him for his assessment of the situation. The fact that the chinese top Military Leader and the american top Military Leader and the american top Military Leader and the american top Military Leader r. N. Gauged in discussion and dialogue is very reassuring. That means, between china and the United States, there are channels for communication and dialogue, and the two countries can communicate with each other directly. Despite the rising tension on the korean pen insular. Tension is rising and the stakes are getting higher, and i would say the stakes in korea has never been close to war 01 in korea has never been close to war or conflict as it is now, and i think we need to call on the United States to preserve peace, rather than take dangerous actions leading possibly towards war, and its also very encouraging to see that the president of the republic of korea, president moon, is also calling for the United States not to resort to war to solve the Nuclear Weapons proliferation issue on the korean peninsula. Therefore i think we need to stand firm to encourage more dialogue and negotiation, and to call on the United States to give up the idea of launching a war against dprk. How likely do you think that will be . Well, its tough, and the Nuclear Weapons programme is becoming more and more sophisticated, and we need to find an effective way to stop it and achieve the denuclearisation goal on the korean peninsula. However, id say, even though its getting tougher and tougher and more challenging to achieve this goal, it is exactly the time is used all our wisdom, courage and vision together, rather than being disunited, for example, and to avoid the United States from sending up a very mixed and confusing signal, not only to dprk, but all the people here in this part of the world. If war brea ks this part of the world. If war breaks out on the korean peninsula, the consequences will not be limited to dprk or the republic of korea, and its also important to know that china and russia are now recently issuing a joint statement calling for no reckless action to be taking place at chinas doorstep or russias doorstep. The Chinese Government is engaging with major countries, including germany, for example, to present the case about peaceful ago she asian and about opposition to war, and i think it will take all these major countries together to stop the possibility of warand to together to stop the possibility of war and to pave the way for negotiation, leading towards denuclearisation.
