to deal with the crisis the u.n. has warned that about sixty percent of those who fled children and they are facing severe health concerns well to be a child who has more now from cox is bizarre. bangladesh authorities in a new move is restricted movement of rowing as across the country police checkpoints have been set up in different junction and access road from the course of a very so that during us going to move to the other parts of the country many of the rowing as we're actually moving in some other districts that been brought back to the camps bang other shows a long term strategy of actually registering them with biometrics and confine them in a particular area it also has a strategy i am very controversial strategy i would say in a car to move them to a isolated island which is prone to cycling and all the major natural disaster and now in the long run bangladesh and diplomatic front would want to pressure me on my to take back this morning but on the other side of the border the me and my government would probably risk them moving back because they've already started

mining there and fencing those places most of their own thing as look and talk like bangladesh is in the border areas you cannot distinguish them that don't have documents to prove that they were going as you crossed over a very precarious situation for both sides now unless the diplomatic move which is so far been talk and brinkmanship is able to put that kind of pressure on me on my chances most of the roaming guys will remain a stateless people in this side of the border in bangladesh well as seen in the home is a senior fellow at the center for global policy and he says bond they should not have the system build enough hollands for the refugees at the border. well the latest numbers from the united nations and decay that over four hundred one throws in people have no cross the border over the last couple of weeks that's approximately eight hundred those in every single day or one throws in our system to norway that bangladesh can absorb those kinds of numbers particularly in the fact that bangladesh was already hosting four hundred thousand is going to few g.'s

so they're essentially have a very ambitious and in many respects unless they plan to use two hundred two thousand acres of land to build these fourteen those in homes along with even half those in the trees one of the purposes of this ambitious plan is to ensure that there will hinge i do not leave those camps what we have at the moment are all enjoyed if you g.'s trying to melt into the population and what bangladesh has an official policy isn't in one thousand nine hundred to grant nor will he enjoyed it could you status because we want all of those who enjoy to one team sooner or later to be repatriated back to myanmar let's move on to other news now in the united nations has called for an investigation into the killing of thirty six government refugees by soldiers in the democratic republic of congo our correspondent malcolm webb has covered the story of burundi as refugees extensively he reports now from across the border and uganda they came here to the democratic republic of congo to safety the un says refugees died following

a protest. demonstrators clashed with soldiers and dozens were killed and injured. we were informed that the leaders around here they would not let the refugees stay here and even get into the camp is the only option was to go back to where we are afraid could be killed. the u.n. says the demonstration was against the expulsion of too poor a million refugees they live among host communities in the eastern town of come and . as an administrator i cannot accept the brothers and sisters die here in congress as you know the story is very clear that these people will cooperate with them even today we continue to cooperate with them. during these political crisis began in april twenty fifth and president indeed to launch his bid for a third term in office opposition and rights groups say it was illegal and unconstitutional what started with street protests in the capital later became

violent conflict across the country. the government accused of actually did issue killings and torture to silence critics things it denies four hundred thousand people left the country because of the violence most of them live in camps like this one in tanzania both government agents and armed opposition have been accused of operating within the camps about forty thousand refugees are in congo where the incident took place this circumstance is not clear we have heard about it just after it happened yesterday. seen what. had gone to the place of. the many injured including very early in this circumstance we heard that there was a confrontation with the armed forces. on twitter the rooney's minister of accidental relations called for clarification about what happened but for those who already lost loved ones the answers will come too late. malcolm webb.

uganda well the bombing started after a refugee stormed the president with four burundians way that were being held for deportation of the congolese interior ministry says troops initially fired in the air but the cattle overwhelmed off the stylings were thrown at them at least thirty six indian refugees and won colleagues officers were killed and come on you know in south kivu province the united nations says another one hundred seventeen injured thirty nine of those were gravely wounded and had to be evacuated by helicopter to the city of kabul jason stearns is the director on the call of research group at new york university center for international cooperation and he says there is a big political pecha to consider here it must be said on the issue of whether these people were actually g.'s or not most of them were not living in a refugee camp they were staying in host communities most of the people apparently were ethnic group. many tutsi. now have

gone over towards the opposition although it's a mixed picture and in burundi. and so it's possible that some of those refugees felt that they were being targeted by the earning government that want to go back and of the congolese government that collaborated with really don't take it back in general in the past several years the congolese government has been a friend of the government in fact as pure guernsey's of the president of bernie has come under increased international criticism because one of the one of his remaining allies in that and so it's interesting that this is happening at the moment in the eastern congo there have been accusations in fact that some of the people who carried out the killings were not on the lease but actually and soldiers dressed up and all these uniforms and so as i said it's a confusing situation but a very great while. iraq's prime minister says he is prepared to use military force of a planned referendum on kurdish independence turns violent because an iraq has come

under increasing pressure from regional policies and the us to call off a vote that's scheduled for the twenty fifth of september iran contra polls. the iraqi prime minister hydrilla body reacted with strong words the kurdish part of its decision to hold an independence referendum on september twenty fifth if you challenge the constitution and if you challenge the borders off you know on the border of the region then there will not be this is a public invitation to that country in the region to violate iraq because there is one which is very dangerous escalation. of bodies were to admit with a mixture of defiance and anger in the kurdish region of northern iraq the president of the kurdistan regional government masoud barzani spike at a rally north of erbil in the city of. rejected our partnership not us if you have a look at the iraqi constitution it says the commitment to this constitution keeps

the free unity of iraq we decided to live with baghdad but they didn't accept our partnership now they have to accept we will be good neighbors if they want except our partnership we won't be their servants. one source of tension is the disputed territory of kirkuk which the kurds say belongs to them but is also claimed by iraq the kurds have been clear that the referendum will take place in kirkuk and have sent troops to the city but the local iraqi shia militia says any ballot box will be seen as an act of aggression the international community also reacted brett mcgurk who is the u.s. special representative to the. said that this referendum would not be supported by the u.s. and the iraqis and the kurds needed to get together and concentrate on the fight against and that's also a view echoed by the british foreign office. across the kurdish region flags have been waving and nationalism amongst this distinct ethnic group is the fever pitch ordinary kurds and their leaders see this referendum as then meant

a chance for self-determination and their own nation state something they've been striving for a century however some party say the time is not now but they might back the popular movement that seems to be on track to hold the referendum despite the objections of iraq the united states and opposition across the region. which is a. head on the. operational. matter of the caribbean island and place in the u.k. . connection to. from one. to an enchanting transit. and the weather is generally quite quiet across many parts of the middle east at the moment we do have a few showers in the east. and some of those over the mountains are giving us

dangers of terrorism and she also spoke about the economy here in germany and why the vote for the c.d.u. was the only vote that could secure germany's economic future about their phones yes it does when it's going well for us we are more likely to avoid leaving future debts to our grandchildren and children so de are better able to control their own futures for that reason it's important not to create new debt in the next four years. beenz is part of angular merkel's home state indeed this is her individual constituency so when she was asking for people's votes here it was a direct personal appeal vote for me she said the point she also made was that although the opinion polls suggest that her party is cruising towards victory voters should not take that for granted complacency was the enemy she said every vote counts and that therefore every vote given to the c.d.u. would strengthen her hand in a future government if the opinion polls are correct and as i say she is heading

towards what might be considered to be a handsome victory and some analysts now say the question is not whether she will get elected as chancellor it's whether she will get to choose the party that she would prefer to govern in a coalition after september the twenty fourth. ok but our government has released video of what it says is looting in the wake of harken shows people carrying guns like roman cigars from a government owned store they got into the store through a broken windows caused by a total surge during the storm at least ten people died in cuba when devastated parts of the island last week. where thousands more lost their homes and livelihoods surely galiano reports on the long and expensive rebuilding process. the night hurricane body in the town baker richard job is kept making bread and through the storm became too strong to
