Airstrikes are intensifying in syria sadly problems despite u. N. Warnings that war crimes are being committed on saturday at least 13 civilians including several children were killed in the raids the Syrian Government has been on a 3 month offensive to capture the last major rebel stronghold so now there has this report. Another lifeless body pulled from the rubble another syrian child a victim of the airstrikes by russian and syrian warplanes the town of a rehab has been repeatedly hit in recent days and yet again residential buildings have been targeted you dont really know what the no rebel place is all fighters here this is a residential neighborhood look children live here what is there crime the Syrian People are being bombed by planes and the u.

Opposition controlled towns across the southern countryside of it live and northern hama are under fire people there say they are being bombed into submission but that surrendering is not an option since they have nowhere else to go this is the last rebel held territory in syria people going to. Do all this year of people need to die so that she can stay in power is everyone a terrorist except we moved closer to the border with turkey but how do we know the players want to hit us here. The recent escalation in violence is worsening the displacement crisis according to the United Nations many people are living in the open air because there is overcrowding in camps and Reception Centers more than 440000 syrians have been made homeless in the last 3 months how long the. Building was bombed in all our belongings are under the rubble we came out and didnt know where to go we have nothing theres no water no bathrooms no tents for the children there under the sun. Many people have been displaced more than once and many towns. And villages are now empty. Our hosts income for zito was hit so we left a hoss and again we were targeted we survived but our neighbor was killed it was too dangerous to stay so we came here we hope this place will be safe that will depend on russia and Turkey Russia which backs the Syrian Government and turkey which supports the opposition cosponsored a cease fire and last year the deal collapsed when russia supported a Syrian Government offensive in april blaming turkey for not fulfilling its commitments to an agreed Demilitarized Zone around the province turkey repeatedly said it needed more time because forcing somewhere little groups from the zone would have put civilian lives at risk there is nothing that indicates the ceasefire will be revived soon.

Well those are the headlines a lot more news but up next the inside story stay with us. A Record Number of children dying in war and conflict the u. N. Names and chains those responsible in places like yemen and the palestinian territories the do the powers behind the bombs and the bullets actually care what needs to be done to protect the lives of children this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im dennis them all kids are dying in wars and conflicts than ever before thats according to the United Nations which is about to release its annual report on children and Armed Conflict out 0 has seen an advance copy a special u. N. Representative found more than 24000. 00 cases of children being killed maimed or forced to become child soldiers last year the report highlights rising casualties in war zones such as yemen where the saudi u. A. E. Coalition is fighting huth the rebels and despite condemning israel for the deaths of palestinian children israel is not on the reports black list of offenders right lets have a look at some of those figures now the report says the saudi u. S. Coalition in yemen is responsible for almost half of all child casualties in the country last year 729 killed or injured out of a total of almost 700 the who the rebels were blamed for. 398. 00 casualties and the Yemeni Government forces were blamed for 58. 00 the un says Israeli Forces caused the deaths of 56. 00 palestinian children and the wounding of almost 2700. 00 now thats the highest number in 4 years and there syria airstrikes barrel bombs and cluster munitions killed or injured more than 1800 children and afghanistan tops the list for another year with more than 3000 child casualties. Are either introduce our panel now in toronto by scott we have know her eldar hobb who is a fellow at the Brookings Doha Center specializing in conflict and Transitional Justice in beirut we have rami curie senior fellow at the is on fire is institute for Public Policy at the American University of beirut in lancaster in the u. K. Also on Skype Simon Mabel and senior lecturer in International Studies at Lancaster University while come to you all know her ive just ive just read out a litany of bad news affecting children around the world particularly in conflict areas why do you think were seeing a larger number than ever before of children being killed or maimed in conflicts. Well the short answer really is that theres a theres a lack of accountability for these for these violations and actually the bad news that you just mentioned is in reality much much worse than what is captured in such u. N. Reports i mean with regards to yemen for example the the the number of child casualties mentioned in these reports is only really a glimpse into the extent of the atrocities the children suffer these casualties have to do with Armed Conflict in a very sort of narrow sense in the sense of Ground Fighting airstrikes unexploded ordinances and so on but really there are tens of thousands of children who are dying of starvation and of disease as a direct result of the Armed Conflict and so unfortunately these reports only really capture a very small part of what is actually going on here thats even more gloomy zlitan rami do you agree with no hard and that it is really as a consequence of of a failure of an International System of accountability. Yes i agree fully with her and i would even go further because you have situations like in palestine and israel for instance where the conflict creates damage to schools children become displaced jobs are lost because of the siege on gaza normal Economic Activity cant go on so the entire Economic Foundation of a society the Palestinian Society starts to crumble and families dont have an afford malnutrition increases stunting increases so theres a whole Ripple Effect of damage thats done to the physical and Mental Wellbeing of entire families not just the children and these these reports really capture just the surface manifestation of the worst battle casualties but the the depth of destruction is much worse and parallel to that is what you said at the beginning that theres no accountability the whole process of International Law has collapsed in virtually most of the middle east because even have you know respectable governments like some like the u. A. E. In the saudis on the back of any isnt the egyptians and others who are doing terrible things to their people in jails to killing people after kangaroo trials you have countries like iraq and syria and parts of lebanon and other places where terrible things are happening to people and theres just no Real International accountability whatsoever because the all out warfare that has spread across the region essentially since the syrian war started 8 years ago has really and go for many many parts of the area and therefore law really finds no place trying to rear its head right in some in coming to you im also looking at figures of this coming from as save the children report from earlier this year which says that 5 times more children than kumba tents are actually killed in comfort i mean is the nature of conflict the way was being forced is it changing and is that perhaps responsible for the increasing number of of children getting caught up. You know i think thats probably one of the reasons we know the conflict is getting more complex we know that battle battlegrounds are changing a traditionally they would be separate from urban areas and in recent years that securely post 911. 00 in the middle east weve seen that theyve become really really embedded within than areas so as conflict increases as conflict becomes more and more intractable its going to have more and more of an impact on the lives of People Living within those cities so i dont think its particularly surprising that the conflict has become more complex its become more embedded structurally within the political fabric of of a state and as a consequence its having an absolutely devastating effect on the people that are most vulnerable living within those particular areas children the elderly the infirm people who are unable to flee these conflict zones and i think think what rami is just articulated about them and whole time mentions are incredibly important this rip this report this is hugely devastating in terms of the death and the casualties of children but there is of course a much deeper mental die mention in terms of the amount of trauma that children have gone through the p. T. S. D. That they will experience through through living in that order to years through a conflict so which will have an absolutely devastating impact on their lives right on the lights of those around them and so very very grim today but also incredibly grim for the future it would have been no how coming back to you. When were talking about the changing nature of conflict we are not necessarily talking about state to state how we went from talking about nonstate actors and battling each of the civil war was localized into National Intra National Comfort and is this perhaps a contributing factor to the to this terrible scenario that when. Looking at today and that is not just of children but civilians being killed and injured increasing the. Yes i mean absolutely the the the the expanding sort of nature of nonstate actors and their role in an Armed Conflict certainly complicates and worsens. The the the crimes committed in these conflicts but it also complicates this issue of holding nonstate actors accountable and i should add that theres another very sort of important missing part of of these reports when you when you look at them you know youll see countries such as sudan and you know the democratic republic of congo yemen syria etc listed and the parties to those conflict named and shamed for for their role in the Armed Conflicts but the big missing part here is the role of western powers in particular whether its the u. S. Or the u. K. And their complicity and their support its really in in the perpetration of these crimes and since were on the subject of nonstate actors theres also this issue of course of these multinational corporations and their role in and their complicity in these crimes and so this is another sort of achilles heel of these reports is that they dont really capture the the role of the stars and how powerful would it be if the u. K. And the u. S. And other such powers were named and shamed for their role and per in perpetrating these atrocities whether its in syria area men or other well there are efforts to do that and there are efforts in the u. K. Against the British Government and indeed against in congress against the u. S. Government ramey coming to you. Im just wondering no how much of the concept of naming and shaming how how how. Shane and would a country be like for instance the Saudi Coalition in yemen which is named in this report to be released by the un next week and how shamed would that coalition be to be on that to be publicly identified as being responsible for so much horror i mean do you think it really matters to them. And well recent years suggests that it doesnt matter at all because what they would do is they would go to the white house announce a big new arms deal with the United States go to london announce a big new p. R. Campaign with big pictures on buses maybe go buy a Football Team in paris and then they would be the best friends of the 2 major western powers and nothing else really matters to them this is one of the problems and heard them mention this the presence of the International Players is really the terrible thing thats happened and this comes right out of the syrian war the syrian war was which is still going on it was really has been really a terrible historical turning point because whats happened in the last 8 years in syria is weve ended up with coalitions of a Major International power a local government or 2 and nonstate actors all working together in a fighting force on the ground so in russia you had russia the Syrian Government has bought and various groups on the ground facing rebel groups the United States gulf supporters and sometimes turkey so these coalitions on both sides fighting each other you have the same thing in yemen. And you have this now happening in every in libya youre starting to see it and theres direct not only direct involvement in western and russian and turkish and other of iranian other foreign governments not just supplying arms and but theyre actively fighting on the ground with their troops with their artillery units with their special forces and with their air forces its quite an extraordinary situation of all out warfare all combining states nonstate actors and foreign powers and theres nobody who can do anything about this so the thats the long answer to your question which is that governments are not particularly shamed by being named the only thing that really matters to them as if theres some serious legal action thats taken to actually do. Turned them on theres no sign of that unfortunate right simon its often said isnt it that the world is pretty much dictated by interests how much political pressure would you say is is brought to bear upon the un itself for instance i mean this particular section of the un is the children and Armed Conflict section of the the un they report to the secretary general but the report is criticised insofar as it doesnt name and shame sufficiently it doesnt attribute blame as harshly or as clearly as it might in particular im thinking of the Israeli Defense forces they highlighted having been responsible for a larger number of palestinian child deaths last year than have been in the last 4 years and yet they dont appear in the n x yeah the list of bad is they dont appear there at 0 so how much pressure is the un under when its compiling a report like this to to actually keep a certain balance if you like in terms of other political interests i think thats a really important point and it really gets to the fundamental problem with all the un bodies all un agencies that they have to balance the sort of the impartiality and and the interests of the particular body with broader chip political interests and so here you have a report that is trying to really get to the bottom of whats happening on the ground but it feels feels compelled to sort of cold but for fully naming and shaming the Israeli Defense forces the United States the United Kingdom for their complicity in events and i think that gets to this this fundamental power of violence and the Structural Organization of the United Nations which means that the states wield a great deal of disproportional influence across the United Nations particularly in the Security Council and we see this of. In the Human Rights Council as well where there are particular human rights agendas that are suppressed by members of the counts who are sitting on this council and dont want these to be articulated so it is power the troyan. Normative concerns such as human rights such as childrens interests right ok all right so simon raises an important point i think know her and empower in terms of the Security Council i suppose resides with the permanent 5 and there is pretty much paralysis isnt there in the Security Council but i mean the saudis again i mean they are allegedly responsible for dangling substantial amounts of money before the very eyes of the secretary general of the un in order to ease their way if you like through some potentially uncomfortable moments both on the un Human Rights Council and also within the u. N. Security Council Deliberations particularly on the war in yemen so Money Matters here of course unfortunately money does matter and its not just saudi arabia that has that has put the secretary general under under pressure its you know several other countries including the u. K. Especially in the in the Human Rights Council and so you know its its unfortunate that it seems over the last couple of years in particular that the secretary general is kind of caving into this pressure a little bit you see it in the language its not its not as strong as it should be in these reports and again weve weve spoken already about the lack of accountability the lack of enforcement any kind of enforcement measures following these reports but of course i mean in theory the u. N. Should not be caving into this pressure and should stand firm right and romney said all we say we saying that this the suprema see if these interests if you like of the various powerful players internationally are collectively undermining what is also what is supposed to be a rules based International System there are laws that are supposed to protect children and civilians particularly in war but they seem to be ignored at the moment. Yes thats true and ive been interacting a lot with the various u. N. Agencies on international. N. G. O. S working all over the middle east in the last year or 2 dealing with women and children and marginalized people and theyre just scrambling around trying to figure out how do they minimize the death sophie young people rather than what they were doing 510 and 20 years ago which is to expand the wellbeing of young people and the survival rate and the health and the immunization rate and all that and theres just such an overwhelming need for services to deal with the simply keeping people alive especially 60000000 people 60 is 60000000 people in the arab world who need humanitarian aid simply to stay alive and and in decent shape biologically and this figure is going to is going to keep increasing so the situation really is one in which there is no sign of any action that is going to change the situation what we really need though and this is where there is still an opening and people do try it weve seen it in yemen weve seen it in other places you need vigorous political initiatives to try to end the conflicts if you end the war you end all of this suffering many of the parties who are fighting each other many of them have legitimate grievances not all of them but many of them do and if you address those legitimate grievances 0 in on the people on the ground get the foreign fighters and criminals and donors out and 0 in on the conflict on the ground and find a resolution that satisfies everybody you can end some of these conflicts and therefore you and this cycle of increasing suffering and vulnerability the problem with some of the situations like the arab israeli conflict is this is been going on for for 100 years weve had 200 years of israeli colonize ation of arab land and its still going on and there seems to be no. Money in the world who is willing or able to do anything about this and some of these conflicts need much more effort than purely localized on the right side and which brings us a space to history and tradition and that is leadership has traditionally been provided by the United States has net since in the postwar 2nd mode war era that seems to be. Lacking should we say and im do you think that it passes too simplistic to link the Current Situation were in now would be seen to be gang backlit in terms of moral principles and rule of law can we link the 2 to to the fact that america has turned in lets push ups but i think theres probably more to it the maps and if we look at the conflicts and the impacts of conflicts on children and and marginalized people across across the past few decades well see that that this has been continuing this is this is even increased whilst america has been more involved in the global stage in it and in actually articulating more liberal projects and the likes of bill clinton and barack obama this had a massive there was a massive increase in the number of people affected by by conflict and i think that obviously on the trumpets had a marked impact on on americas role in the world busy and its sort of step but most leadership position but its not just about theres a complexity of conflicts that have bowled over the past few decades and the report talks about building sustainable peace but as rami suggesting that its difficult to build that sustainable peace when there is conflict going on but the sustainable peace is essential to actually preventing future conflict and in future generations addressing longstanding grievances is addressing longstanding needs for the food for shelter for water for basic human needs. So its not just about addressing the conflict and making people safe from war but we have to do more the u. N. Has to do more in order to actually build this sustainable peace and it will require leadership from a range of different groups not just the United States team lead flow into the space of these norms it will require strong leadership frame from a range of different sectors that will hold each other to account but of course this is incredibly idealistic and i dont that well see it any time soon i think and so no hurry it seems very much as though already back to the u. N. We look to the u. N. To do so much particularly in a in a world thats devoid of of obvious National Leadership the u. N. Have started a process havent they need yemen obviously this is described as perhaps the west humanitarian crisis in the world at the moment what do you think of the Stockholm Agreement as a beginning as a start to perhaps stopping that dreadful war in yemen i mean any sort of any agreement thats geared towards stopping the lifting up blockade or stopping the fighting has of course very welcome i think theres been a lot of issues with with the Stockholm Agreement. You know one of them being but its very very much focused on how data and has led to sort of this dismissal really of a focus on the rest of the country which is just as a port and but i think just to follow on the discussion earlier. Another sort of factor that is really important and an opening as rami called it is the role of Civil Society in these countries right the solution doesnt begin and end with the United Nations the role of Civil Society if you look at the role of Civil Society in syria for example birth course and all of these conflicts countries is absolutely crucial in but unfortunately it seems that more often than not. International organizations or international policymakers. Dont have this as meaningful an engagement with the Civil Society accessors as they should and so the result is that theres sort of a delayed resolution to these conflicts working with these focal actors is is absolutely crucial to try and and bring and bring an end to these Armed Conflicts right rami give the last word to you and if you can make it brief please so know how offices a glimmer of hope and id like to end on that if possible she sees that there is potential perhaps in stimulating the Civil Societies role and participation in these processes and that could could help assassin a lot of seize absolutely right and its not just Civil Society as such its just all local people working together and their normal day to day life one of the things that ive been amazed that. And not so surprising in my 50 years of covering the middle east as a as a journalist has been that in all of these conflict situations when you see local communities arabs and israelis arabs and turks iranians and saudis some news and she are as christians and muslims whoever it may be any 2 people who seem to be having a fight when you go to the local level theyre living together theyre going to school theyre playing football theyre creating businesses they know how to coexist peacefully and this is really the one of the great unexplored areas of peacemaking stability and National Development that has to be looked at through Civil Society through political mediation and through other forms we know how to live peacefully and coexist in this region if the big powers and some of the external actors and local criminal leaderships and the various countries stay out of this process and so this is really an area that we have to explore much more carefully and it does actually even in syria during the war you had local communities that made cease fires and got along really. Well you know thats definitely an area for a lot of work thank you very much indeed a note of relative to ms and thank you all very much indeed rami khouri in beirut simon mabon in lancaster and the.

Thousands of displaced millions in the region over the past 10 years at address has more details from kaduna state over the last few months specially the last 3 or 4 months weve seen a speech of a terrorizing cases of attacks by boko haram on army positions as well as isolated villages and the militaries of the region jiri unleash chemical and charred have conducted georgia operations and to some extent they have they were able to dissuade the population or rather the numbers of poke around fighters on both the lecture side and around the sun before christmas of some before us in the lobby support concrete so the new directive by the president will probably mean that the military in no 3 star general will step up their operations against these fighters eventually we will hear of. Moderates complain ill go quite im quite sure but this is the rainy season by the way and its difficult to conduct military operations in some of these areas because theyre waterlogged and every military vehicles can hardly print it creates some of these areas so the question is how much firepower can the government commit through aerial surveillance through aerial bombardment of these places and thats labs one of the best options before the militaries in the region now to tackle boko haram president all trumpets once again being accused of racism following his online attack against a prominent africanamerican politician and the district he represents companies the twitter tirade after baltimore congressman Elijah Cummings criticizes Mexican Border policy the comments have sparked widespread outrage especially from residents of baltimore.

C. Now that the president is taking to twitter to announce that his current director of National Intelligence is stepping down hes also taking to twitter to name his replacement representative John Ratcliffe now all the focus will be on him his record his history we know hes been in congress for a few years but he doesnt really have a huge intelligence background if any he was a u. S. Attorney he was a mayor of a very small town in texas and the question is going to be as he faces confirmation is he going to be willing to stand up as coat off or did the president even publicly say the president is wrong the president made it clear when it comes to Intelligence Matters he likes to go with the intelligence that fits his world view that is why he was on the outs with coats for a very long time so the question for representative ratliff because he has to be confirmed when he sits down before that Senate Committee can you be independent or will you simply tell the president what he wants to hear not what he needs to hear.
