Vatican City
Pope Francis asks the leading Northumbrian warlords to attend a conference about protecting children from the effects of war.

"Our intelligence suggests so," says Ashleigh.

The Irish government ask that the Garda Síochána is allowed to investigate war crimes by both sides. They also ask that the British and Northumbrians arrest anyone accused of war crimes by the Gardai.

Northumbria says nobody can be arrested without evidence.

“Where does this intelligence comes from? Have you found out who purchased the trucks and weapons?” asks the Irish Ambassador to Northumbria.

Ireland also asks why a Northumbrian judge-advocate overruled legal precedents without giving a reason.

OOC: pre-teen generals don’t exist, give me one example of a militia commanded by a pre-teen?

Ireland suggests as a compromise to only proscribe the ones using soldiers under 15 in combat and enrol the rest into the Northumbrian Army as reserve units.
Britain and America state their willingness to enforce this compromise.
Janazah of Babur Khan, Jesmond, British Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, Great Britain, United Kingdom
IC: the janazah of Babur Khan takes place in a community centre in Jesmond, the mourners including former Marine, trainee SBS officer and son of the Prime Minister Muhammad Sikandar Khan, a number of figures in the Elswick loyalist movement and many of his comrades from the Yorkshire Regiment (now Royal Yorkshire Regiment).
Also attending are the sons of Elswick Volunteer Brigade militiamen.

OOC:

Where are British forces right now?

The Army are in Catterick, Bradford and Aldershot (garrisons) and in loyalist areas of Northumbria (military checkpoints).

The Navy are blockading Northumbria and the RAF are out of Northumbria’s reach unless they get Russian covert support to develop an Air Force

(Israel won’t start a war with their closest ally I.E. the United States and China doesn’t want to support a power that intends to be industrially self-sufficient).

Ireland suggests as a compromise to only proscribe the ones using soldiers under 15 in combat and enrol the rest into the Northumbrian Army as reserve units.
Britain and America state their willingness to enforce this compromise.

Northumbria agrees to this meaningless 'compromise'. Across Northumbria, children are disappointed to learn that due to 'international law' they can no longer fight of their own accord for their homeland. They will take a less obvious role in the resistance movement instead.

Rationing is enforced in Northumbria due to the ongoing blockade. The fire brigade is still digging through the wreckage of the Sage Gateshead, where thousands of prisoners of war are presumed dead after the fire there.

OOC: Why? Why to all of that

OOC: because they agreed to the compromise. It’s a sign that they are willing to proscribe war crimes.
If they repatriate the bodies Britain will have little left to fight for (other than “revenge” or something like that).

Northumbrian forces take up position on the Central Motorway, while the Navy SEALs are intercepted by forces guarding the Quayside.

The Naval Seals state their willingness to defend themselves and intention to go to Jesmond.
The order to both the Navy SEALs and Paras is “do not fire unless fired upon.”

Ireland requests the right to send neutral medics and peacekeepers.

“Firing on us will be an act of aggression and we will be entitled to self-defence!” shout a Naval SEALs Lieutenant Commander on a megaphone.

General-Sir Edward Smyth-Osbourne, head of the British Army in Northumbria, warns that an attack on “either Jesmond or the Navy seals will be retaliated against.”

Due to the seeming blockade of Jesmond, rationing for British Northumbria is being debated in Parliament.
The Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties as well UKIP are expected to lend their support to the bill.

They also point out that everything done officially (as opposed to actions done unofficially by individuals) was in a proportionate response to aggression making them “acts of defence.”

The Northumbrians realise this is pointless after they try to defend their incursion into Northumbrian territory. The Navy SEALs are slaughtered where they stand.
