Newport have been meeting to discuss anti-NATO protesters who are

:00:27.:00:29.

planning to camp in the city without permission. The peace camp is to be

:00:30.:00:34.

set up, angering some residents who are accusing the demonstrators of

:00:35.:00:40.

riding roughshod over democracy. Police say they are not expecting

:00:41.:00:47.

trouble. They came to ask when protesters might be camping near

:00:48.:00:53.

their homes. Over 100 residents in Newport gathered to listen to

:00:54.:00:56.

council representatives, the police and people who plan to protest. This

:00:57.:01:04.

is what a peace camp looked like in Gleneagles in Scotland when the G8

:01:05.:01:09.

summit visited in 2005. It was set up as an alternative summit for

:01:10.:01:14.

those who wanted to demonstrate against the main event. Something

:01:15.:01:20.

similar could take place on this council owned field next month. Some

:01:21.:01:24.

have suggested up to 1000 demonstrators could choose to camp

:01:25.:01:27.

here, but nobody really knows how many could turn up. The first we

:01:28.:01:37.

heard was last week. The council did try to accommodate them in more

:01:38.:01:41.

suitable sites but the peace protesters decided they were going

:01:42.:01:49.

to camp regardless. Less than four miles from the NATO VIPs, the

:01:50.:01:55.

council have said they have not given permission for people to camp

:01:56.:01:59.

here but will work with protesters to reduce affects on the area. The

:02:00.:02:05.

council are in a difficult position because even if a few dozen people

:02:06.:02:09.

say they want to a wrecked tents on a public field, and they do that, it

:02:10.:02:18.

does present safety issues and health and sanitation issues. It is

:02:19.:02:24.

difficult because turning up and erecting tent on land is not a

:02:25.:02:29.

criminal offence. Some who plan to demonstrate say they are willing to

:02:30.:02:34.

negotiate on where they can. We are sorry if it has been a problem but

:02:35.:02:42.

we will make it as incident free as possible, but we are really sorry

:02:43.:02:48.

that they are offended by the way it has been conducted. Still more

:02:49.:02:55.

questions than answers to night, and it is still clear that the

:02:56.:02:59.

authorities have little power to force demonstrators to move

:03:00.:03:04.

elsewhere. Iraqi Christians living here have met with the Archbishop of

:03:05.:03:07.

Wales to persuade the British governments to do more to help the

:03:08.:03:11.

Christian minorities stranded in the Sinjar mountain. They want the UK to

:03:12.:03:18.

take in refugees and they say they fear for the safety of families

:03:19.:03:26.

caught up in the crisis. This couple are Iraqi Christians who have lived

:03:27.:03:31.

in Wales for decades. The doctors who have had successful careers here

:03:32.:03:36.

but they have families back in Iraq who are part of a Christian

:03:37.:03:41.

minority. They are peaceful people who do not fight. They go to work

:03:42.:03:44.

and go back to their families and their churches. They met with the

:03:45.:03:50.

Archbishop of Wales to discuss the crisis that has forced people out

:03:51.:03:55.

into the hills. Thousands are living in appalling conditions on Mount

:03:56.:04:02.

Sinjar. People have left their homes because they have no choice. I have

:04:03.:04:08.

relatives in Baghdad who are frightened. The RAF was able to

:04:09.:04:16.

deliver essential supplies but it is a deepening crisis and leaders of

:04:17.:04:20.

all trade have sent a letter to MPs voicing their concerns. -- leaders

:04:21.:04:28.

of all faith. Anybody who sees this should condemn the wholescale

:04:29.:04:33.

slaughter and I hope the government will open the borders of the UK and

:04:34.:04:45.

allow refugees in. We all condemn those people who have joined ISIS.

:04:46.:04:55.

We all know that this is not what we our about. I feel sorry for

:04:56.:04:59.

We all know that this is not what we families. I have no sympathy for the

:05:00.:05:04.

youngsters who are doing this brutality in that part of the world.

:05:05.:05:10.

One of the youngsters he is referring to is this 20-year-old

:05:11.:05:15.

from Cardiff. They were seen on a recruiting video for the Islamic

:05:16.:05:21.

State. He appears to have set up a new Twitter account. It is believed,

:05:22.:05:27.

but cannot be verified, that he goes under an alias. He posted sickening

:05:28.:05:32.

images of corpses and jokingly asked whether anybody wanted to sponsor

:05:33.:05:37.

his explosive belt. In another post, he said he spent the day with two

:05:38.:05:42.

German brothers, waiting to do martyrdom operations. He also posts

:05:43.:05:53.

pictures of US military vehicles they claim they have seized. The

:05:54.:05:56.

International Development Secretary said the humanitarian situation in

:05:57.:06:03.

Iraq is deeply worrying, something that Iraq is in this country are

acutely aware of. The police say they will not be taking any action
