8:03 am
live now from in moscow scott song sung suchi coming under growing international criticism over her handling of the range of prices what do you make of the speech and how will it go down there. well there in the speech here lasted about a half hour and she's actually still in the building meeting with some of the diplomats that attended this speech and it's interesting when you look at the speech there and she appeared she sounded like the unsung suchi before she became the leader of this nation before she walked into the office came into the office eighteen months ago approximately eighteen months ago she sounded more passionate and a little bit more outspoken if you will can compare to some of the other speeches we have heard from her but obviously this is a very sensitive issue and what's very interesting to bear and if you look at the speech and how it was delivered this clearly was for an outside external audience it was called an address to the nation a national address but it wasn't really directed at the people of myanmar this was
8:04 am
directed to the international community and she said that several times in this half hour speech now what's interesting is that she said that you know she wants to get to the root of the government to get to the root of the situation there she said that you know that there are still more than fifty percent muslim villages that haven't been affected by this recent violence and she said it's important to find out why that that's the case and she invited the international community to join her to join her government and figure out why those certain places remain peaceful but obviously it's been a cry from the international community to gain access to some of these areas over the last several weeks and start on august twenty fifth where we've seen this violence to get in there and find out what's going on and they haven't been able to do that but now it sounds like she's saying they're welcome to come in but just how controlled will that be is the big question right now there yes coffin she talked about starting the verification process to possibly repatriate back to me and my but the truth is of course many of these people fled with just the clothes on the back so any kind of verification is going to be
8:05 am
a huge challenge. absolutely when you look at the physical challenges with that yes if someone's house was torched or someone's village was torts it's going to be very difficult if they were able to know if they were able to get those documents before they fled over to bangladesh but then one of the main roots of this issue of the range issue here and that's been going on for decades is the fact that many of them are not allowed citizenship they're not granted citizenship here in myanmar that's part one of the main parts of their plight here and one of the main international criticisms about how myanmar handle this ethnic muslim majority minority here so if they are part of that that group they didn't get any citizenship that doesn't really have the correct documents to prove that they were from myanmar and have lived here for years and now they're in bangladesh how are they going to be able to prove that they came from here and then be verified to then they can cross the border and come back to their village that's going to be a very big big challenge and it's interesting she brought it up like ok we're going
8:06 am
to start this process right now and start to get those myanmar citizens back across the border that is a big challenge ahead that obviously the international community's going to have to engage in with the u.n.h.c.r. and i.o.m. facilitating that process but just how is it going to be orchestrated there really were no details there you know it's called scott thank you want to talk to james gomes zs the amnesty international regional director southeast asia joins me live from bangkok james on clearly been stung by the vociferously international criticism for failing to condemn the violence against the region joe but i mean was this speech enough to have critics do you think. well i mean for me and think of the speech essentially makes of incomplete and victim blaming incomplete truths because you know she certainly mention that the role of the security forces but stop short of saying what will happen when.
8:07 am
they see evidence that violations you know perpetrated by the military are they going to escape with impunity will they be held accountable so you know in terms of having you know the military right as part of the problem didn't come on to me and secondly you know with the better for cation process you know this has been always been the problem and this is why the rowing there feel very aggrieved because they are being you know indirectly deny citizenship now they are leaving a place that has this practice structured discrimination when they are even very fine and they get back are they going back to the same sort of structure discrimination we are concerned that that kind of discrimination would become harder and more segregated so therefore these are very important issues that are not cleanly articulated during the speech and the criticism against james was quite
8:08 am
vociferously that she's failed to use her political and even more important how moral authority to stop the violence against the ranger. and you know and again in this speech she continues to be silent. on articulating on the suffering in fact the victims become the blame ages in terms of what's going on in the right kind state and no one point did we see her specifically mention the plight of the rowing or in fact everything was you know put out in general terms in terms of democratic transition in terms of peace and stability in terms of development these are big goals and they will take quite a long time to roll out but right now we're specifically focusing on the current crisis i mean four hundred thousand people crossing the border it's a big crisis a proportion one very significant in southeast asia and you know bordering on
8:09 am
bangladesh i think the one other interesting thing here is really the roles of the big powers. in my neighbors i mean you have india you know who's also kind of you know raising the suspicion around the rowing and you know calling them security threat china has or has offered humanitarian support but it has been silent in terms of the suffering. the victims undergo true and its connection to investment in medicare and its relationship to the military i think can be said about what china can do to bring about positive change and james gummer's thank you very much indeed for your time now u.s. president donald trump will deliver a much anticipated address to the united nations on tuesday he made his debut at the u.n. on monday saying the world body is not living up to its potential he blamed bureaucracy and mismanagement but promised to help reform it mike hanna has more from the
8:10 am
united nations. the question is which president trump all turn up in coming hours to address the united nations general assembly is a going to be the confrontational president or is it going to be the man who's looking for national unity in the critical challenges that the u.s. is facing at present we've heard from a senior administration official that there will be discussion of north korea very tough talk is the phrase the official users we're also told though that china and russia are likely to be called out now president trump has insisted that china has a role to play in a rift reconciling the north korean crisis bringing pressure to bear on its nearest neighbor and closest ally a little result so far but it appears that president trump will not use this speech to call out china for its lack of impact on north korea also to be discussed of the
8:11 am
issue of iran which president trump has constantly distracted as a threat and also that of venezuela following a meeting with latin american leaders over the course of the night then as well there has been described by the united states as a major regional crisis its leader described by the trump administration as a dictator but the real issue is the tone of the speech exactly where the president travels is continuing to take on the rest of the world or whether he is indeed prepared to work together with other nations to streamline the u.n. but also to deal with what his administration describes as the most pressing issue it faces the ongoing war against terror but one in new york the u.s. president also warned his venezuelan counterpart of further action unless he restores democracy to the nation he accused president nicolas maduro of inflicting terrible misery and suffering on his people. this corrupt regime destroyed

8:19 am
a back and forth over just where the white house stood on paris and there's a chance the u.s. can stay in the accord is that right i think on the right conditions the president said he's open to finding those conditions where we can remain engaged with others all what we all agree is still a challenging issue but on monday the u.s. signaling it was back out again as a top white house economic adviser michael cone told ministers from several major countries the u.s. position has not changed it white house official issued a statement that read in part consistent with the president's announcement in june we are withdrawing from the paris agreement unless we can reengage on terms more favorable to the united states back at the climate summit exasperate at the uncertainty over the implementation of the paris accord it would be great if the president would join the join the movement he's not there yet and he believes this whole thing that we're talking about when all the scientists are publishing
8:20 am
thousands of papers is all a hoax and is a hoax invented in china he believes that while elsewhere diplomats saying all they can do is take trumpet his word. but they don't we have heard the declarations made by president trump and his intention not to respect the agreement and we can only hope to convince him in the long run for now america plans to pull out of the world's leading climate accord at least today but check back tomorrow gabriel isn't dough to new york. there's a more tension in the u.s. city of sent over there quickly of a white former police officer killing a black man protest as demanded justice as they march to the city's streets for a fourth night riot police were called out the two officers were injured by bricks protests have been taking place since friday when jason stuckey was found not guilty of the two thousand and eleven shooting of anthony smith well john hendren has more now from something. demonstrators protested in st louis for
8:21 am
a fourth day if you look behind me you can see several people left behind what was a protest of hundreds of people outside of the jail here in st louis this is after one hundred people were arrested on sunday night and we are told fifty still remain in that jail behind us so the demonstrators came out here they demanded the release of those people and they collected bail money for those they could now demonstrators say the police have been very rough with them using unnecessary force and arresting people without reason the police chief came out and said that in fact what has been going on is that peaceful demonstrations have turned into unruly moms and vandalism late at night however the protesters say this is just the latest incident of a white police officer shooting a young black man as a study recently showed that although blacks make up black men make up six percent of the american public they make up one in four of those killed in police shootings

aircraft supporting the syrian regime yesterday or for least this footage purporting to be the aftermath of the attack are somehow bar explains the syrian army and the earth are competing to take over territory that was under the control of ice in particular in areas in the us or and also. but now the situation might change because a syrian army by crossing the eastern riverbank of the euphrates sends a message that he is committed to control all those areas which puts it on a collision course with the. likely to see clashes between the and the syrian army in the coming days but now the problem with this is that the s.d.f. the seen by the americans as a key ally in the fight against isis. while the russians provide significant military assistance the syrian army and if there are and the clashes between the.
