the news doesn't seem to have filtered through to the front lines. >> that's right. 400 were rescued this morning by fishermen, and not rescued by any navy's around the region. thailand rejected them three times, giving them food and water. malaysia rejected them twice. and the second time. and we spoke to a wit innocence said that malaysia threatened them "if you come back again with the boat we'll sink the boat", and held them at gun point. malaysia essentially sent them to indonesia, they slipped through, the navy didn't see them and fisher men rescued them. they are on land taken care of in a mosque in aceh. the military said that this will be the policy until the minister of foreign affairs, who is in malaysia and agreed to accept more migrants and rohingya until

the minister tells the military directly - gives the order to the military to change the policy and don't send away more migrants on boats. so far they have not heard anything, and they are not changing their policy until that point. >> thank you very much indeed. since violence broke out in myanmar's state in 2012. the u.n. estimates 100,000 ethnic minority left the country, making their way to cox's bizarre in bangladesh. it's a starting point to the andaman sea to thailand indonesia and malaysia. since the beginning of 2014, 88,000 rohingya and bangladeshi migrants left by sea, and in a sign of how desperate they are getting, 25,000 are undertaking the journey, and nearly 1,000 died. let's hear from rob. tell us more about the emergency

meeting. >> well, this change in policy came amid growing criticism of the way the three countries have been handling the growing humanitarian crisis. even so the three ministers insist they they have been fulfilling obligations with regard to arriving migrants. the policy the controversial policy of pushing boats back will be stopped. instead, people arriving on shore will begin up to a year will be given humanitarian aid while the case is for permanent resettlement is looked at. in the case of thailand it will take time to implement. as far as indonesia and malaysia this policy comes in effect immediately. >> indonesia and malaysia agreed to provide humanitarian sentence. to those regular migrants at

sea. we agreed to offer them temporary shelter, provided the settlement and repatriation process would be done in one year by the international community the statement talked about the strain endured by the three countries dealing with the migrants and called on the international community to help. many people in this part of the world will see it as a reasonable request to share the burden given the global nature of this crisis. others more critical may sense that it is a further shunning of responsibility to some degree. what is most important for the thousands that are still at sea is that from today there appears to be a refuge. >> thank you very much. that's rob mcbride on the latest developments from kuala lumpur. thank you. >> the commute to israel for
