claims. prime minister tony abbott will neither confirm or deny. haidr abas rvetionyassy has the story. >> the government has introduced tough measures to stop people making the journey. pacific islands australian military has towed boats back to where they came from. but is another tactic being used tony abbott was asked whether the australian navy paid people $5,000 each to turn back their boats? he didn't deny the allegation, instead he said this. >> what we do is stop the bads by hook or crook and that's what we've got to do and that's what we've successfully done. i just don't want to go into the details of how it's done because like a lot of things that law

enforcement agencies have to do its nest necessary it's difficult and at times i suppose, it's dangerous work. >> all right. let me put it -- >> that's how we do it and we've stopped the be flood. >> people who work with refugees say the australian government needs to come clean over the issue. >> this whatever it takes by hook or crook approach which we now do in the highest ranks of the government are an unacceptable position to a country that has signed up for refugees convention because our government at the highest levels is suggest it seems that whether it comes to asylum seekers that say there's no moral compass and no moral winners, that is not only astonishing and appalling but completely be unacceptable. >> say if true, this policy may

back fire. encouraging more people smugglers to risk the journey to australia. be hadier abassi, al jazeera. >> be according to the asylum seeker 5,000 are living in detention camps in australia 1300 are children, 19 hoon, housed on manous island and 1300 are in cities across australia. let's go back to david mann, executive director of the refugee and legal system in australia, joining us via skype in melbourne how did this go unnoticed for so long? >> well, look, it's really difficult at this stage to know precisely what happened. because a lot of this policy by

the australian government towards asylum seekers at sea is vowed in secrecy. what we need is to have the government come forward whether it will confirm or deny or will investigate whether in fact it aid he and abetted and funded what it describes at the evil trade of people-smuggling to turn back asigh legal seekers at sea. >> it says by hook or crook these are the quotes from tony abbott. the fact that the prime minister is not confirming or denying the reports, what do you make of that? does that mean in your opinion that australia is indeed explicit? >> look, this is a matter of -- indeed come complicit? >> look, when it comes to the approach of asylum seekers by sea, they will involve whatever

it takes by hook or crook whatever it means the government is intent on an approach which has no moral compass and no moral limit and essentially is devoid of moral guidance. people coming from sea are overwhelmingly people fleeing from persecution in need of australia's help. >> is it popular for tony abbott to do what he has so far not denied being done? >> what we call the stop the boats man stra which the -- mantra which the government puts up in the forefront has populace appeal. but the real question for australia and the international community is whether or not australia is meeting its fundamental obligations to protect people fleeing from harm, from being subject to further harm, and for a country like australia who has signed up

to the refugees convention to be suggesting that it will approach these matters via whatever it takes approach, is a matter of profound concern. because that is an unacceptable approach when we have obligations to protect people. >> mr. mann, does this point to a larger problem a broader problem of immigrants worldwide people fleeing very hostile countries such as afghanistan and myanmar and africa, that people fleeing prosecution are sooner or later going to wash up on everybody's shores? >> there is no doubt this is a global problem. awfort's approachaustralia's approach is one driven fundamentally about deterrence. that is about blocking people who are fleeing from persecution from accessing protection in australia or indeed elsewhere. because australia has not only approached this like other countries in our region by way of a matter of blocking people and putting up a fortress, but

what we really know here is if countries like australia and others approach the issue of refugee protection in this way all that really happens is that those countries don't in any way address the root causes of why people of fleeing in desperate circumstances and taking desperate measures to get to safety. all it really does here is sweep people from our doorstep to dangers elsewhere. >> david mann the director of the refugee and immigration legal center in australia thanks for being with us tonight. myanmar says it is going to ban rohingya migrants from that state, they want to crack down on human trafficking there. thousands have said they have escaped religious persecution and human trafficking. they call them bengalis.

still a problem. are it is most blatant in the country side . recent efforts to clamp down in the cities have largely moved the problem from view, but in the brick factories outside phnom penh you just have to look a little harder. in this slum area, around half the children work. as the eldest of five children, sunsre hing is often the main income worker when her mother isn't well. a local nongovernment organization wants to bring her to the protection of its center for protection but it's a hard job to convince the parents. >> one to get money why their family so they we call to help them so that some people they say that all education is not

get money. >> in its commitment to eradicating the most hazardous forms of child labor cambodia has taken a lead in asia pacific, the region of the world that is worst affectby the problem. but being one of the poorest countries in it, means it's the least well equipped to achieve its ambitious projects. the goal to end child labor by 2016. giving all children access to full time education is seen as the poverty driven child labor. >> actually it's become a national price. although there's international commitment but we take our own effort. whether we can achieve 2016 or not. but it is our priority that we have to reach our commitment to the international organization. >> reporter: for those children carrying the burden of

work maybe this will be the year their lives change. rob mcbride, al jazeera, phnom penh. >> reed macey we just heard a story about child labor in cambodia, how serious are they about ending child labor? >> i think we're seeing an increased seriousness 20 years ago, a lot of countries denied they had child labor problems and increasingly countries are admitting they are having a problem and they are enacting national action plans to try eliminate the child labor. >> so then are we seeing the numbers fall? >> we have seen a dramatic reduction, according to the national labor organization, since the year 2000, about 78 million children fewer work are working in child labor.

in 2000, it was 248 million. as you noted earlier in the story it is 168 million. >> why is that happening? why are the numbers dropping? >> there is a concerted effort. as we just said, a lot of nations are tackling the problem. there are thousands of ngos working on the problem. companies are increasingly saying, child labor is something they don't want in their supply chains. there are a lot of efforts in a lot of fronts. >> i was in myanmar earlier in the year and i met 12-year-old children who were working 15 hours a day. what are kids like that supposed to do? >> well, you know, we obviously want those children in school. we feel that their futures are brighter if they are able to stay in school. it's a challenge because a lot of the countries, a lot of these rural areas are very, very poor. there aren't many alternatives,

when families turn to child labor. but our belief is when children work they are actually taking work away from adults. those adults should be paid a higher wage a living wage and if they were, children wouldn't have to work. >> but their parents can't even find work right? >> that's true. but we think in some cases the children are taking the jobs away from the parents. and these companies are relying on cheap child labor when they really should be paying a little bit more and hiring adults. >> you mentioned a little bit about companies who invest in other countries and whether or not they use child labor. we have read a lot of reports about sweatshops where kids make products that end up here in america. what kind of products are these and how common is it? >> well, according to the u.s. department of labor they've identified over 130 products that come into -- that are made with child labor. now not all of those come into the u.s. but some of them do.

it's -- you know it's challenging to figure out which ones do, you know, are -- that we are buying on the shelves are actually made with child labor. but we see all kinds of products and including you know cell phones are very common product that have minerals that are often mined by children. >> how aware do you think the american public actually is that their cell phones may be made by children or their clothes are made by children? >> i don't think they're very aware at all. despite the concerted efforts are a lot of groups like ours. there was some consumer polling done a couple of years ago by a group here in the d.c. area and the average person thought there were 6 million child laborers in the world and as we said, there are 168. they underestimated by the factor of 25 how much child labor there is in the world. >> should we be boycotting these products? >> in general most of the members of the child labor

coalition are a little weary to boycotts, because we know it can cause pain to the children in these sectors working in these areas and we don't want people to starve. >> right. >> but we do want to apply pressure on the companies and the governments. is and we thinkand we think we can see child labor reductions if we do that. >> reed macey, thank you. >> end the period of mourning for those killed in landslides in nepal many back in may. descendants of sephartic jews who were forced out of spain 500 years ago.

>> by some estimates 90% of all jews in europe lived in spain before they were told to leave convert to chris christianity, leave or die. do we have any idea how many will want to become citizens of spain? >> i have no idea, what the provisions in the law are parliament is going to be. it's very clear that they will be probably some requirements, problem offing descendants from those who left in 1492. i have no idea how many would like to return. i imagine that there will be a great zeal of intentions to return. because of course, membership in the european union is a very attractive consideration especially nowadays. >> mr. ruiz, 500 years is a long time. i'm sure a lot of people right now are scratching their heads wondering, why now after 500

years? >> do i not know why now except perhaps it has something to do with the crisis of immigration that is being present around the world. i want to emphasize there is a precedent. that is to say historians but also in the 19th century there are many people who become very much aware of the existence of a sephardic community. and one of the remarkable things and one of the things that explained this law is the fact that this communities have retained a sense of identity which associated with spain and even though it's a dwindling community as far as its lin whichitslinguistic history. >> one lingering question, that is what about the moors? will spain address that problem. >> you could say that if you

address the issue of the expulsion of the jews in 1492, one can say well, the same applies to the months moss muslims who practiced until 1609. i myself believe that it should apply to both communities. but the differences to the morisco which was the name that was given othem communities in the early 17th century retained their identity in north africa for around 100 150 years and then they completely assimilated within the communities in north african countries, the sephardim on the other hand retained their identity as spanish or spaniards until this very day. >> i want to ask the question this way because portugal made

the first move. what about the other countries in the european union? after all these jews, these sephardic jews are going to be granted citizenship in all the other countries as well. how will it bode in the rest of the eu? >> as you well know, there is an extraordinary antimigration sentiment throughout the european community one that is exacerbated by the crisis that is taking place in the mediterranean at this very moment. i don't think it will be received kindly by people. but i also do not think that this will be, as you mentioned there will be 100,000 applicants, a great deal less perhaps. >> i have a friend who is a sephardim his ancestors fled. he is doing well, many of his family is doing very well, is

there a renal for attracting these? >> i would imagine to accept capital into space i imagine this is something that has precedence from the 19th century onwards that was discussed and essentially illuminated by listens in the early 20th industry, be middle 20th century amerigo castro being the plain person, the iberian peninsula done to the society, and the association in the 19th century benito perez caldos one of the most distinguished writers in the 19th century was a member of that. therefore there has been discussion of this going on for a great deal of time and it is a kind of vindication of the errors that were committed in

1492. >> 500 years is a long time. >> when the muslims were forced to convert in castile and 1609 when they were expelled from ibe iberia. >> thank you for joining us. >> good night. >> not allowing women to go out after 11:00 at night. and islamic law discriminating against those women and three athletes being run over at the african games.
