iran nuclear deal. southeast asia is facing a migrant crisis, hundreds are being rejected by governments in the region. now this, update. in a dramatic operation they dropped food parcels and fuel to help avert 300 or so migrants from bang floridaer and were identified on a boat. it looked like humanitarian assistance. but at the same time, they denied the boat the ability to land on the thailand territory and, pulled them back out to international waters, this is a short-term solution, and what they want to do, is show that it is very serious about cracking down on human trafficking because it wants to improve the

record. it is in the bottom most tier when it comes to the trafficking but what's happening to the actual people, involved, is that they are stuck out at sea being pushed away by malaysia, and by indonesia, and a few people do land as we heard here in thailand today. about 100 but, they have no citizenship, they are stateless and they are put in detention. once again unable to live safe and free. fishermen have rescued people from a boat, and at least 100 people died on the boat, and now, in indonesia. these people have been at sea for three months, and, they are exhausted and many are ill and you can see that many are

injured, because a big riot has happened at sea after they were rejected. there was a riot about food, and some fighting broke out. they were on the same boat together and they had injuries, with knives, and they are telling me hammers were being used and both groups, bangladesh and, more than 100 people have been killed during that fight. and that's what they're telling me right now and they say that more people and more both are still in the waters right now. the fishermen who rescued them are now being questioned by police, because they said we're not going to accept the boats and, so, they are now helping these people to get well, to get

treatment, and the international organization have yet to arrive here. many of the migrants say they are from the government, that doesn't recognize them and human rights groups have long held, that etcetera the governments of persecution and discrimination, that is driving them. and, they have adopted a policy of non interfere reference and they shy away from discuss it go. and, that is changing, with the malaysian officials say that it has to do more to address the issue. this is what the presidential spokesman had to say in reply. these people claim they are coming from here, so this is why we until we make it, we conduct

it, we can not accept all these people coming from there and it is not our problem. the minister said he can't confirm, whether they will attend a regional conference, to be held to us and the problem. in the meantime, thousands have left at sea with little food and water, and they debate on whose job it is to save them. in europe, the german army have rescued migrants, off the coast. the army is also looking for second migrant ship, 3,006 have been rescued over the past 48 hours. over 300 child soldiers are being freed by armed groups,

their release is part of a u.n. peace deal designed to end more than two years of conflict. once an essential african republic, they have been released from the militia. the leaders signed a u.n. peace deal. and among it, a girl who joined three years ago when she was only 13-years-old. i want to thank the people who took us and brought us here, because we don't want to stay in the army, it's too hard. they have survived, where food was hard to get and they want to return home. i want to find something else and go back to my neighborhood buying and selling

things, and, i don't need the army. u.n.i. ce f. has been part of helping. they will have received medical examinationtion and they will be in the hands of social workers and, trained professionals, with skills, in working with children, who have been through a traumatic experience. the groups have been fighting each other since march 13th and thousands of people have been killed and, more than 1 million have been displaced and that's a harsh reality for anyone to live in let alone a teen. nobody forced me to go into the army, it's because of the problems in our country and i wanted peace for the republic. there are more than 6,000 other children still working as soldiers sex slaves, and

cooks. efforts are being made to release them all but for now the freedom of these children, is a cause for celebration. three generals who tried to launch a coun against president have been arrested, and this happened after they admitted that the take other attempt had failed. the coun leader is still on the run. let's get the late of the from the capital. the president, does he have any idea what he's going to do? we understand he's back in the country and, we don't know where, because we understand, because of security concerns. but any sign now he's due to address the nation, and television, and, that doesn't mean, he is going to come to the studio, it could be a recorded

message, but this was crucial in the struggle in the last couple of days,. yesterday, the soldiers, loyal to those who tried to launch the coun, there was lots of gunfire and they failed to take it, and radio is, crucial because this is the main form of communication. whoever controls the national broadcast has a very strong claim to controlling the whole country. during the fighting all but one of the houses was attacked and destroyed. and one, the only media now is the ruling party, that was closed down, and attacked and that was only station left. so people around the city are throughed to their radios, waiting to find out, what has

happened. so you say we are waiting for the president, it will be interesting to know what he will do, to bring reconciliation to the country. we've been hearing about the arrest of three and they have many supporters. that's right. when the coun was first launched, and the protestors were protesting against the presidents bid for a third presidential term, in june, and they celebrated and there were crowds in the streets and right now, the soldiers, are out in the streets and people enter their home and people will find out what happened next and we tried to call sever politicians and those involved, and we can't reach any of them, many of their phones are off and, many have gone into fight and they fear a violent reaction against those people.

thank you for that. iran's nuclear program topped the agenda between gulf leaders and the u.s. president in maryland. reassured them that the nuclear deal is in their security interest. this is only the second time the president has rolled out camp david for world leaders in an atell to send a message that they matter to the united states. his goal to convince them after potential deal with iran is a good thing and they don't need to worry. i am reaffirming our ironclad commitment to our partners, as we declared, she the united states is prepared for work join thely to deter and, confront an exturn nall threat. but many of the countries

have made it clear they're more worried, without the sanctions iran will have more money. one of the top aids admitted it is a possibility- we believe again what we would expect to see, is a prior asation of iran's country that doesn't mean there won't be some revenue that is used for security. at the end of the meeting the mayor of cutter expressed optimism. i am here it say that we welcome the dream and, we hope this will be a key factor for stability in the region. the foreign minister was less open optimistic. we haven't seen the final detail that's being negotiated. he said this wasn't a

negotiation, but it was believed that they were looking for a stronger defense treaty. and the u.s. said it will speed up the process of selling them weapons and, they say they will help them build a miss sill defense- will it be enough? i think they'll probably go away with continuing doubts about the new york comee aragreement and the doubts about what he is willing do, to help them face say "aye" ran in the arab world. they promised to meet again next year, to make sure these are not just words but the promises made have been kept. coming up, we meet somali migrants who escaped, and now they have nowhere safe to go.
