facing a catastrophe the u.n. chief has me in ma to end the violence against there are hinges in iraq on the state. tragedy at a u.s. nursing home eight people died after the facility was without power because of hurricane. as syria troops advance and dead and so are more talks to end the war are about to begin but will there be a breakthrough at the sixth round in a stop. in. iraq . and activists turn to social media and arts to protest against a four day arms fire in london. the united nations security council is calling for an immediate. to the violence

against orange of muslims in me and mine describing the plight of the minority group as catastrophic almost four hundred thousand people have fled to neighboring bangladesh in the past few weeks to escape a government crackdown on fighters in iraq and state the security council has expressed concern that reports of excessive force being used during military operations it's the first time in nine years the members agreed to a statement on me and mine the government says almost one hundred eighty villages are now empty and that number is likely to rise many have been burned to the ground i mean mars leader aung san suu kyi canceled plans to attend the un general assembly next week the nobel peace prize laureate has been widely criticized for her handling of the crisis james bays has been following events at the u.n. . these were the toughest words yet from the secretary general on the ongoing violence in myanmar i call on the myanmar are starting to suspend the military

action and the violence appalled the rule of law and recognize the right of return of all those where to leave the country the un knows the situation is deteriorating fast with mr good terrorist last spoke to reporters a week ago there were one hundred twenty five thousand refugees that number has now trick old given the situation has got so much worse in the last week do you believe this is ethnic cleansing well i would answer your question with another question when one third of the rowing or population to flee the country can you find a better word to describe it. as the secretary general has already taken the extremely rare step of writing to the security council urging them to take action as he spoke the council was meeting first with an open session on somalia it was only after that ended and they went into closed session and when they discussed any

other business but the crisis in myanmar was finally raised afterwards the president of the security council read a carefully worded statement it was nowhere near as strong as the words of the secretary general of the members of sixty council expressed deep concern about the situation in state acknowledging the initial attack on men in march security forces or into n.t. fifth august should be on mass stop all its military operations in the state now that's what the secretary general says does the security council share that you know that. the statement that he made out is what we have agreed there are some who see that as a very weak statement. some may say so why is the security council not being tougher there's always a log jam when there's a lack of unity and when one of the permanent five members is opposed to action in

this case diplomats point to china a long standing ally of military james. of the united nations well agencies are struggling to cope with the huge numbers of poured into neighboring bangladesh in nearly three weeks but on smith reports. everyone is exhausted some of these muslim have been walking for days to escape a crackdown by me and miles military a government spokesman says one hundred seventy six ethnic running of villages are empty that's nearly a third of all reading of villages in me and mom the people who lived in those villages nearly four hundred thousand of them and now here in bangladesh. they began arriving nearly three weeks ago aid agencies say they can't cope there is a response which is under way but it is a pretty poor forty two beasts tiptop seriously so as to meet basic needs and to

avoid that we're going to have an emergency within an emergency their anger being caught in a military counter offensive it began after about thirty reading a gunman attacked police and military posts last month but the scale of the military's response has been described by the u.n. as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. i came to bangladesh with my family three days ago we had to escape because the burmese security forces burned our home and started attacking us i lost my son. with no shelter and no food these people are totally reliant on and we have appealed for a modest seventy seven million dollars but that is not enough that is a little done by the whole u.n. community that is going to be revised we need to get much more funding for partners me and doesn't use the name or hanger to refer to these people instead they usually call being accused of illegally migrating from bangladesh presidential spokesman

says those who fled won't be automatically allowed to return saying they would first have to be very burnet smith al-jazeera. about him as a senior fellow at the center for global policy he's also the author of the book that all hinges inside me in my hidden genocide he's joining me now from chicago briefly first of all sir if you don't mind can you just give us an idea of why me and feel so strongly about that. well the animosity towards the ranger goes back a long way actually goes back to the second world war when the japanese invaded what was at that time british burma the minority population remain loyal to the british colonial masters with the majority buddhist population stated with the japanese believing that they would be victorious and this will lead to so after independence so in the country did become independent there was bad blood between the two people and this was followed subsequently by various military leaders then

trying to make the country much more buddhist in its character after the field economic policies they passed a number of laws saying that only buddhists can be loyal citizens to burma and everybody else is a non citizen and this was followed followed by a number of laws including the one nine hundred seventy four set nationality act and then one thousand equal to citizenship the ruling job always been the minority of choice of persecution because they have a different religion they look different and they have a different language and so videos military generals over the years have tried to paint them as the person illegal but goalies who are basically and myanmar trying to didio the country like in two thousand and thirteen the united nations then was describing the as one of the most persecuted people persecuted peoples in the world we've heard of the un security council's response today how do you regard the way the world is responding to the situation. the world's response

has been extremely weak it is hugely unfortunate that we can know me on my own to the list of countries like rwanda and bosnia general ses in which the world was fully aware the united nations was fully aware were going on in new tame well it chose to do nothing and the myanmar situation has been going on for over half a century as you mentioned they've been described as the most persecuted minority in the world by the united nations and our recent harvard study indicated that one in eight people are in the global enjoy origin now over the last few weeks we have seen over four hundred thousand new hinge are being ethnically from myanmar pouring over the border into bangladesh that is approximately thirty percent of the entire population this is ethnic cleansing on an industrial scale and it's completely unprecedented not only is the myanmar military expelling these people they are burning their villages and human rights watch is obtained considerable evidence from satellite imagery and elsewhere so in the entire villages two thousand six

hundred homes for example the hmong go district in point and know they are mining the border to ensure that none of these people can ever return back to myanmar that is ethnic skin cleansing on a completely and dust to scale and has been planned for a long time i want to ask you about the role of own suchi in all of this she's open to self up to significant criticism from around the world in me to be clear are the military and the government two separate entities or does one have influence over the other. i'm very sympathetic to the people who key doesn't have much control of the military the military still who would considerable power in the country they still control a quarter of the season parliament and they still control the media ministries the foreign affairs ministry the boredom and used in the human history but despite that we have to remember that. isto the leader of the largest political party in the country she is the more conscience of the country she is the most famous citizen of

the country and for hard to say nothing at all of what's going on and in fact say that ethnic cleansing isn't there's no ethnic cleansing going on it's far too strong a word and to see that there's a this this is all feet news and this is an iceberg of misinformation i believe a lot of our supporters people have believed in are people like myself who will be hugely disappointed to me it's very clear she simply made a political calculation that the issue is simply not worth anything the military and the extreme good is elements in the country for she is no longer a peace campaigner she is no politician we should lose sight of the fact that miramar is blaming this latest situation on attacks by n. me and by the other kind of salvation army how do you think that our hinge are going to react to the fighters who are being blamed for having created this latest situation. indeed the army claims that they are undertaking clearing operations because of an attack on the twenty fifth of august by the ruling just told r.t.

r me but there's a essentially came just a couple of weeks ago i do a piece in newsweek last year in december last year and dick eating the myanmar military is in preparations for a flu genocide and ethnic cleansing operations this is all in the public domain and the fact that they have used this as a trigger as an excuse as is actually very telling they have been in preparation for this and in fact the the chief of the military of myanmar general may know milling has actually come on record and said that this illegal bengali problem in their country has been long overdue to be taken care of so it's very clear what exactly that they've been planning this for a long time and know they have received this cuse and the trigger to undertake this massive ethnic cleansing very interesting to get your point of view on this thank you very much for your time well while condemnation from the international community has been sway ft many in the country have rallied behind the government and the military in me and flown slowly reports from young gone this sign reads

collecting donations for the displaced in rakhine state this charity drive is being run by a ministry in yangon six hundred kilometers from the fighting in northern were kind state but it's mainly for the rakhine the ethnic majority in the state who are mostly buddhists some thirty thousand of whom have been displaced being we are with another who will kill if there was fighting here a monk who runs into a mosque would be killed but a monastery will save all who shelters our religion forbids us from killing but i'm not afraid to walk past a monastery a church or a hindu or sikh temple but i'm scared of walking past a mask. there are a few in myanmar who will speak out publicly in support of the. the muslim minority remain stateless and on largely regarded as illegal migrants from bangladesh the military crackdown which has been condemned for its brutality around the world hasn't drawn the same sort of criticism from people here but. yes they should carry

out a security operation to eradicate terrorism if not they'll be no peace so that's why we support the military but the operation should only target terrorists not the whole muslim community. i support the military operation because terrorism is not good it's good to fight terrorism everyone should have within the law. the military and the government say the operation is a legitimate exercise targeting what it considers a terrorist organization the crisis in rakhine and the exodus of ranger refugees into bangladesh are being widely covered by the international media and yet here they don't get much attention in the local press and when they do that's usually a government. go for example promote a press release that people in northern because i have started to go back home because peace and stability have started to return to the area. but there's no mention of the hundreds of thousands who fled to bangladesh in under three weeks who now face in uncertain future and

saudi arabia backtracked and suspended further talks the u.a.e. scrum principle. is widely seen as the man with a huge influence. over mohammed and the relatively inexperienced saudi crown prince. has turned towards the u.a.e. as a role model to say well how can we reform saudi arabia to make it more sustainable resilient in the future and it has been somewhat become mentor as the crisis drags on kuwait's emir who is mediating the dispirit recently told us president donald trump that a solution is just a matter of time we have also seen some changes in the american position softened especially by president. compared to his positions in the early days of the crisis i think he started to be

a little more balanced this was clear in his press conference with the emir of kuwait talking about the unity of the gulf countries and all united. with its encounter with countering extremism and terrorism in the region but if diplomacy fails to heal the rift the fear is further regional instability. you carries multibillion dollar arms sales to saudi arabia have been the focus of protests and arms fire currently on in london with concerns british weaponry is being used against civilians in yemen almost manufacturers and bars from across the world are attending the four day event and there's nothing bob or reports activists are increasingly using social media as well as more traditional methods to get their message across. export. kingdom is meant to look like a car adverts rather burnished aluminum. made in

that there's got to be a solution to this problem but at the same time i think it's only reasonable it makes perfect common sense that we deal with the problem that was the root cause of this which is we do not have operational control of our borders the u.s. government has ordered its departments and agencies to remove russian made. products from their information systems the department of homeland security says it's concerned the cyber security company has ties to state sponsored cyber espionage activities in russia because it is deny the allegations saying it has no ties to the kremlin and is not involved in cyber espionage the president of the european commission has delivered an upbeat state of the union address saying the e.u. is back on track after britain's vote to leave jungle and young said the economic recovery and unity between the members means europe is now ready to move forward all of this leads me to believe. you know six

ordinary school in japan it's north korean. established a year after the second world war six hundred korean students study here almost half of them are of north korean descent. when japan colonized just more than seventy years ago the people there migrated to japan and some were forced to move into excruciating work a coal mines and installing railways high school tuition fees here cost around three hundred twenty dollars a month for each student while north korea distributes money to help offset these fees it leaves a shortfall in twenty ten japan democratic party began subsidy scheme but in that same year north korea launched an artillery attack on a south korean island and the application process for korean schools in japan was temporarily suspended. two years later the government. placed a total ban on north korean schools receiving the subsidies that led sixty two

former students of the pro pyongyang school to suit the japanese government but the take your district court has ruled against the students. i am outraged and sad it was an un forgivable ruling that was made because of political pressure and it encourages discrimination rather than. the children's right to education should be guaranteed that's why this ruling is unjust and bringing in diplomacy all together made this ruling unfair the government told the court it excluded the north korean schools from the jewish n y biscayne because of the schools close relationships with north korea and because the schools couldn't provide enough evidence that they were being operated correctly view ultimately supported by the tokyo district court. many blame the recent crisis for the judgment that the japanese we spoke to support subsidies for the north koreans if ethnic korean residents in japan are going to live in japan for their lifetime i

think the government should guarantee or support their educational fees but if they're going back to north korea or if their nationality is north korean i don't think japan needs to do it law suits have been filed in five courts across japan in july a court in hiroshima ruled for the government for two weeks later in a saka the students one or two cases still to be heard the students in tokyo say they will launch an appeal against the ruling craig leeson al-jazeera tokyo. a robot has made its debut conducting a world class orchestra the swiss to sign the yumi led the look of monaco orchestra to open the first international festival of robotics in the italian city of pisa you'll be managed to upstaged. by the orchestra as regular conductor says he's not too concerned about losing his job any time soon we basically had to find time to understand he's movements then when we found the way everything was pretty easy and
