dignitaries suchi refused to criticize me and my as army which many have accused of murder rape and burning their villages. it is not the intention of the government to apportion blame or to abrogate responsibility we condemn all human rights violations and unlawful violence we are committed to the restoration of peace stability and rule of law throughout the state. the united nations has called the violence a textbook example of ethnic cleansing but an sunset she said the majority of muslims are not actually leaving the state human rights watch says at least two hundred ten villages have been burned to the ground since the violence began on august the twenty fifth said fifty percent of the villages are still intact and she said the unrest in rakhine is just one of the complexities facing what she called her young and fragile country and the government is making efforts to improve

living conditions of the. all people living and are kind to have access to education and healthcare services without discrimination healthcare services are being provided throughout the state including hard to reach areas with you. the head of a u.n. inquiry into the violence in rakhine is asked for more time to investigate the allegations of human rights abuses against the reading of the fact finding missions chairman. says an extension is necessary to get a full and truthful account of what is happening placing an escalating situation in iraq on there is increasing our exponentially we are deeply concerned about realty to verify the facts necessary to produce a report of the depth and clarity that is expected of us by march.

we will respect. extending our mandate by six months to september two thousand and eighteen human rights watch estimates that two hundred fourteen villages of navin almost totally destroyed across mean mars rakhine state the aid agency has analyzed these recent satellite images of the area it says it reveals the destruction of tens of thousands of homes shown here in red cross mangle and rested on townships human rights watch also released before and after shots of individuals individual villages this is as in village in may this year and others is what it looks like just three days ago so i thought there'd be a change they're trying to charge me isn't cox's was on bangladesh near the border with me and ma where tens of thousands of ranger have fled to but first let's go to scott hide in myanmar capital naypyidaw let's talk first about his speech and how

it's been playing out there scott. it was interesting jane it was a thirty minute speech here the conference center in the capitol here door and it's something that had been highly anticipated you know there was announcement of the speech late last week it was going to be her first it was her first full addressing of the situation with their hands. and what was interesting it was it was billed as a an address to the nation a national address but it definitely that was not the audience there was not an audience here in myanmar is for the external the international community audience in the literal audience the physical audience here you had diplomats from around the world you had u.n. officials you had the top brass in the military here in myanmar that controls a great deal of the government and it was interesting though there was a lot of top line discussion about as she went through her speech thirty minute speech about how it was a young democracy and things and she did tackle the issue in the rakhine state but

what was interesting is she didn't come to any conclusions obviously it's still early shakes and there's still investigations going on but she also didn't criticize the military nor did she provide any solutions and jane and that is the biggest concern obviously we're going to hear more on that side of the story from bangladesh momentarily but when you talk about here her first full address on this issue there weren't any immediate solutions that came forward there are big solutions long term solutions mid term solutions but nothing right now to help the people who have fled her country over to bangladesh change and we are hearing that the head of the u.n. fact finding mission probing violence in the state has said that he's still waiting for permission to enter the country do we know if there's a problem then what's behind that. well it seems as though through this you know these three plus weeks that that has been part of the approach by the government by the military here is to really shut down that area to humanitarian groups and humanitarian organizations the united nations the fact finding missions and

a journalist so it's really been a black hole if you will over the last couple of weeks there are a couple of government sponsored government escorted trips to the affected areas but nothing words free reign where people can go in there and gather their own information without being followed by minders without being part of a government press trip so that hasn't happened just yet and obviously i would imagine that's part of the reason why they the u.n. would like an extension for their fact finding mission but also because i'm sure over the last couple weeks they haven't been able to get to the areas if they did get into haven't been able to get to the areas they really want to go they need to have free reign once they get in there and that's something we've heard that they had that hasn't been allowed in rakhine state over the last several weeks it's got its leave it then gave it to tend to charities in. bangladesh and that's near the border with me and i'm just wondering how this is playing out and that appeal to return back to the country if the desire is there.

well first of all there's no official reaction from dying of those government as of yet i'm sure there will be as for in the refugee camps we were just there about forty five minutes ago we this refugees are so entangled in just dealing with daily situation in emergency need the camps we were visiting where into need a plot or because of the bad weather and torrential rain that they need another shelter to move on iraq some of them of the hard about on sun cities. featured have said no we haven't as far as they're willing to go back not what then counted within the last several weeks i mean people been slaughtered killed people died in mine explosion people trying to cross over drowned in the river now that they're very traumatized the children are exceptionally traumatized because there's about two hundred children within this refuges groups in bangladesh traumatized i don't think they have the appetite right now to see what she has to say of course clearly if she is sincere about taking back some of these refugees we'll have to see how

that works out as scott put out a very complex it's not clear there's been drafted years here decades ago came the refugees in malaysia in saudi arabia in india how is she going to collect these of these people most of these people came and demanded that the poor don't have any sort of identification card woodbine with this government is started a process of biometric identification for the recent arrival so that is some first step maybe in the down down the road that they will be able to prove who they are when they came as refugees to get act rested up in cox's desireless can be a charity that's going to win and rango researcher at deakin university he joins us now from melbourne on skype it's good to have you with us and i'm just wondering what you found any sort of shade of light there that the ring of might look to in his speech. oh very little for the really good to feel positive about from long since if she speech today more of the sign he's what she promised it was very much

the speech of a politician and a politician who was defending the actions of her country's military over the last four weeks i mean these are the actions that have st close to half a million people fleeing for their lives to bangladesh and on since it she's taken that today was that we should look to the people that didn't leave in fear of their lives i mean it it's a it's a deeply consuming speech from a humanitarian don't i did it by that i mean who is she trying to reach to in this speech well the same paper she's reached for the entirety of a political career in the international community and her message has consistently been give me more time. don't take action i just need more time so the whole narrative in the speech iran where young democracy is about saying i need more time you shouldn't be concerned about what's happening in record time you should just give me more time now there are four hundred thousand rating of muslims who tonight

will face and i usually monsoon under under top holds they don't have more time they need international action today and they need to know that their family and friends who are back home in vietnam have access to humanitarian assistance and that the military isn't going to lock down those communities and privy to humanitarian actors and the media having access and obviously bangladesh has been bombarded by moving over to their side like a scene will be making a speech at the united nations general assembly i'm just wondering what it is that he can do to try and alleviate the situation just a little. well it's very important i think that bangladesh doesn't make the situation worse for the refugees that have arrived that there's been talk that bangladesh will create. a wall around the refugees is important to remember that they're not criminals these are human beings who flames for fear of their lives and

they should be treated with dignity and respect and provided with humanitarian assistance it's really important that the international community makes clear that they are willing to step up and provide that assistance to bangladesh who's been who have been indicted with quite a few demands as part of these but it's important that doesn't feel that it needs to act in a way that criminalizes the new arrivals the human beings that done nothing wrong they fled for their lives they should be treated with respect where do you think the speech in the situation that we seeing unfolding at the moment puts the military if not in control if i can put it that way. well they are in control it's clearly are there firmly in control in rakhine state i'm sensitive let's remember has not visited reclined state throughout this crisis i mean it that's in it hard to believe that

a national leader of the standing would not visit the site of this crisis so all of their information is being provided to her by the military who are who are who are running things but she's defended that she's made statements today that would they would provide genuine solace for the military and would give some certainty to the military that she's not going to call on them to stop what they're doing she we said we need to find out who it is that's responsible we know who's responsible the united nations has described it as a textbook example of it to make claims and it's very clear military is responsible yet that was prominently mentioned in the speech today the statement as well that all communities in that area have equal access to health and education well that hasn't been true for fifty eades the regime have not had equal access to health and education or the right to even move to another village for work or for to go to

a market but haven't had those rights in rakhine state for decades that the causes of the rigging are leaving over the last four weeks because they've been brutalized by me and most military but the causes of their human rights violations over the last five decades are systemic they government policy the refusal policy in me and that's why this group is the world's largest stateless population. randomly good to talk to thank you thank you. thank you more ahead on the news police crackdown in spain where catalan authorities are pushing ahead with plans for a controversial independence referendum. the time the real running of the presidential election in kenya next month is in doubt. and a british cyclist completes a record breaking ride around the world on of how long it took him in sport.

and as strike has hit a hospital in the syrian province of idlib it's the third hospital to be targeted in the past hour we're getting reports that emergency workers have been killed jamelle a shell is in beirut in nearby lebanon so hospitals targeted again what happened this time. well jim what we understand is around nine a.m. local time some of the opposition fighters belonging to a totally other sham had launched an offensive to retake parts of the northern side of aleppo that had been captured by the syrian government syrian regime forces in the past few weeks while they were doing that over the past few hours some fifty airstrikes have been reported by the syrian air force on different targets

including as you mentioned there three hospitals one of which is a maternity. hospital also targets the force of the syrian air force also targeted fire station as well as two different schools the casualty numbers are still coming in from different activists and different rights groups on the ground so far the confirmed dead are at least two as well as fifty others injured however that number is unlikely to rise because of the large scale fighting that is taking place in that part of the country jim so i was wondering what sort of impact this is likely to have on the talks in a stunner. well the a standard process was hailed as a success because it managed to usher in what's been described as the escalation zones across the country where most of the fighting was concentrated. through this

however the northern part of the pub was not part of that agreement and essentially the push by the opposition fighters coming from. downwards towards that northern part is seen by some as a sign that even with these the escalation zones the reality of the matter is the source of this conflict is still not being addressed and that source of the conflict is the person of bashar al assad and his regime in power against the will of a large section of the people there in the fact that nobody has been brought to justice for the killing of hundreds of thousands of people over the past few years so what this goes to show is that even with these deescalation zones there will still be some sort of conflict within the country because the essence of this seven year long war remains unaddressed. thank you shots are being fired during a pro kurdish independence rally in northern iraq one man was killed in cold coke.

defying orders by iraq's supreme court and prime ministers to stop plans for an independence referendum next monday iran turkey and the u.s. are all calling for the vote to be delayed they say it could create instability and help myself fighters in the oil rich kurdish region has had a bell hamid is in northern iraq talk us through what's happening at the moment what and how this is playing out there. and i think the tensions that you're seeing on a demo meant for example in kirkuk as you mention and also in other areas like. tensions that are new so-called disputed territory now those areas have always been quite unstable there's always been tensions ever since the fall of saddam hussein back in two thousand and three but what you're seeing on the ground is a new reality emerging where before the stenches were mainly between local

populations targeted by first al qaida and ice and now what you're seeing is that these detentions between the kurds who are. gearing up towards this nonbinding referendum on september twenty fifth and the shias especially the shia paramilitary forces who are under direct orders of prime minister law abiding and this is really the fear that many kurds have are many do believe that their right to to give their opinion on self-determination is something it's their right but they also those who question the timing with all what's going around with all these tensions with the fight against also with this new force emerging on the ground the shia up our military forces whether this is really the right time to go ahead with this vote and i think these kind of incidents that are happening happening at the moment popping here and there. make people get more and more worried what will happen

during the days ahead thank you. spanish police have seized more than one hundred thousand posters promoting a planned referendum on independence in catalonia the controversial vote is planned for next month but the spanish central government says it is illegal call panel reports. in the shadow of church spires beneath clay tile roofs a rebellion is brewing. in towns and villages across catalonia mayors are preparing to hold a referendum to break away from spain but state prosecutors are threatening to arrest them after ruling the ballot unlawful. is very nervous for the leftists you peep r.t. . as a left wing pro independent separatists i've always question the spanish state and the capitalist system now as mayor i'm just as rebellious independents will not

just be the work of one or two people but of everybody united. over the weekend spain's chief prosecutor said more than seven hundred mayors could face charges ranging from wasting public funds on the referendum to inciting rebellion it's very difficult to say right now whether there will be a meaningful referendum the top but if there is a resoundingly vote in favor of independence what happens next. is. a vote for independence will be a vote to change everything it will mark a new beginning and the opportunity to change the things our parents were unable to at the end of the franco dictatorship. nearby. in the hillside town of berga these pensioners still bear painful memories of general franco's military dictatorship even though it ended thirty years ago. when we used to talk last line language we had to talk in whispers that's why i was so angry now

. and they say they're ready to do their bit to protect the mayor is they elected you for thora g.'s make good on threats to arrest them. we will take the streets won't be armed but we will turn out the place and soon god will come and we'll see whether the heaters first or we them for. their bones may creak a little these days but their desire for independence is a strong server culp and all al-jazeera berocca spain islanders in the caribbean are beginning to face the fury of a category five hurricane for the second time within a month the hurricane maria has regained strength and is on track to be the strongest storm in puerto rico for eighty five years the u.s. territory is preparing for a direct hit the island of dominica has already felt the full force of two hundred

fifty five kilometers an hour winds the islands prime minister used facebook to report on the storm results great said initial reports are of widespread devastation so far we have lost all what money can buy and replace my greatest fear for the morning is that we will wake up to news of serious physical injury and possible deaths as a rolled result of likely landslides triggered by persistent rains. soldiers and son martin are distributing aid to islanders with little access to regular food and water people on the island of and to go are preparing for the worst. i've seen. when you. see some of you. you do not want to cross the storm when you. have something to feel from you know. you know nothing but you know we i mean you know. this was something.

like that because. you can feel me and you didn't want to be. there when you wanted from. where the presenter staff go to joins us now for more is it following the same tracks as he had a coma it's a similar part of the world but it's not really exactly the same track in fact some graphics here would show exactly where the storms are going so that little red line on the chart there is where marie is going now obviously far too much clouds can't see what else is going on there they are and it's a far too small to take that off and you can see more closely way we're getting so young and it's just cross us dominica and it goes up towards puerto rico but then if i put on this chart for with oh and you can see they're actually quite a way apart right and difference it does make a difference because maria is quite a young storm and usually in the lifecycle of a storm they start small and then they gradually grow larger and larger so it was

a big storm and it had been with us for a long time so when it hit it have winds that were over hurrican force the extended over one hundred kilometers from the center so it was huge two hundred kilometers wide hurricane winds this one memory is quite small and it's quite young so the winds only extend about thirty kilometers from the center so the difference between those two lines at the moment so the difference dominica say up towards martin is over two hundred cologne. right so the school's only about sixty kilometers in diameter so yes it's wet and windy for us in the islands that were hit really badly by over but it's nowhere near what happened in aden dominica just in the last twenty four hour really safe and you'll be back with more with a little later on. and stay for have as essential be back with more with a little it's a rock allegations that britain's weapons in the industry is profiting from the destruction and misery in yemen civil war that's also coming up.

strength of those winds now that system has eased but instead is the system up towards the northeast that's given us some of the worst of the weather recently over fifty millimeters of rain. that is now easing as well and instead it's this bright white patch of cloud over the out that we've got to be watching because that's not only giving us some heavy rain also some heavy outbreaks of snow and some pretty strong winds mixed in with that as well so a very wet and windy here that gradually will sink its way southwards as we head through the day on wednesday and as it does so it should begin to break up so hopefully for many of us here it won't be a repeat of the storms that we saw just a few days ago towards the northwest still generally quite cool for many of us here but actually a fair amount of sunshine three fronts eighteen degrees there in paris nineteen in london but there's more rain piling in from the atlantic to ruin all that sunshine . there with sponsored by qatar riis. russian filmmaker under a necklace of continues his journey across his homeland to discover what life is

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 unlikely to be called out now president trump has insisted that china has a role to play in written reconciling the north korean crisis bringing pressure to bear on its nearest neighbor and closest ally little result so far but it appears that president trump will not use the asian of the speech to call out china for its lack of impact on north korea also to be discussed of the issue of iran which president trump has constantly destructors as a threat and also that of venezuela following a meeting with latin american leaders over the course of the night then as well it 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 trump 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 donald kirk is a journalist and author of several books on korea north korea joins us from salt very good to have you with us how do you think trump should behave today what should he say as far as north korea is concerned. well i think it's going to be very tough as far as north korea is concerned and he wants to mobilize world opinion and world pressure against north korea he particularly would like china and russia to live up to the sanctions that they have that they've gone along with

perhaps reluctantly he would he might like in fact he would like to still stronger sanctions he's not going to get that but i think that i think i think we can expect some pretty tough talk as far as north korea goes do you think you'll be able to support considering it is that sort of format isn't it i mean if you going to support anyway this is way you can do it well you might get some support you'll get ill get support in some quarters certainly a lot of the world that would be on his side as far as north korea's nuclear program is concerned but i'm not sure he's going to get all the support that he wants and i particularly question whether china and russia are going to give him all the support that he would he would like to have so he may come out of this speech really just about where he stands going into this speech a lot of people form but some very important people not so enthusiastic he's already spoken out ahead of his speech that he wants to reform the u.

and does this worry you. well it doesn't really worry me and it interests me i think that he will i would think that he would try to be rather diplomatic in his call for you want to form he's going to be firm he's going to say the u.n. has to do a better job of peacekeeping a better job and a lot of it respects perhaps do away with some of the bloated bureaucracy of the u.n. a but i think you'll try to be diplomatic after all is in a diplomatic setting so i don't think he's going to try to is going to be want to be as hard as he has been previously about the u.n. . because i'm wondering the line itself what also saying that you know so excuse me jumping in here korea and north korea i mean if we have a reformed u.n. considering the the roles that they have to play in incidences like this might that make some sort of impact well well yes probably things the u.n. could get a lot tougher as far as as far as north korea is concerned and he also thinks some

of the bureaucracy that u.n. is not really doing a lot of good things the u.s. is pumping more money into the u.n. than anybody else and he would like to get it would turn on the investment. but again i think he'll. make an impact but not necessarily the full impact that he would like from his speech. good to talk to you thank you u.s. president just saying he is open to further discussions at the u.n. general assembly on the paris climate accord but montaigne's the agreement is unfair to americans that is on the reports from new york. on the fringe of the united nations general assembly some of the world's top leaders on climate change met there was bewildered mint over the united states' position on the paris climate accord and also mockery we were in we were were in were out first the u.s. was out in june president donald trump said america would withdraw from the paris

pact saying it was a deal that hurt the american economy but then maybe the u.s. was back in over the weekend a report trump was reconsidering since then 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 under 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 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 he believes this whole thing that we're talking about when all the scientists are publishing 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 is word. 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 oh i'll just get a new york. children's charity says the british weapons industry has sold eight billion dollars worth of arms to side arabia during two and a half years of war in yemen that's much higher than previous estimates the

warchild organization says the british government spends more on humanitarian aid in yemen that it earns in taxes from sells including fighter jets general looks at the devastating impact the war is having particularly on children since saudi arabia first began bombing yemen in two thousand and fifteen one point one million children have been displaced by the fighting their homes and schools destroyed more than thirteen hundred have been killed mostly by weapons sold to saudi arabia by the united kingdom that's despite the u.k. arms sales rules which say that if there is clear risk that weapons might be used in violation of international humanitarian law well then they should not be supplied warchild says the sales are not only unethical but also a false economy the argument for in favor of a trade with saudi arabia is that it's very important to the u.k. economy. that may be the case may generate huge amounts of profit for arms companies but in terms of what the british government of getting out of it we're

actually making a loss if you think that we're only making thirteen million pounds in corporation tax year compared to spending one hundred thirty nine million pounds in aid trying to fix the damage that's weapons of the kind but without a fairly regular doing that damage includes displacement and dwindling food supplies which mean that three million children are in urgent need of treatment for malnutrition while sixty thousand others a sick from the world's worst outbreak of cholera. and i'm just international has criticized saudi arabia for arresting to human rights activists abilities and. founding members of the saudi civil and political rights association amnesty say they are prisoners of conscience and must be released immediately. in kenya the electronic voting system will not be ready in time for the rerun of the presidential election next month the french supplier says engineers need more time to properly install the system following the void result in august supreme court

judges blamed voting irregularities for the reelection of president who can unite or he's campaigning along with rival for the planned rerun on october the seventh correspond stephanie decker is in. nairobi stephanie what's the problem there. well they're saying they need more time as you mentioned there are two to get everything ready to get these for fresh elections off the ground the problem is the timing jane i think we now expect the electoral commission that's the body in charge of this to announce a new election date they can do this according to the constitution they had sixty days from this announcement that's the thirty first of october these elections are supposed to take place on the seventeenth we now think they might be delayed but there's a whole lot of back and forth when it comes to these elections jane and the problem is the sort of atmosphere that could really incite to the street it's interesting we've just had a statement from the heads of mission these are countries like the united states

bodies like the european union sweden the netherlands saying trying to come they say what's been over the last few months a real rise in hate speech ethnic divisions and things like that and we really see it of accusations from both sides jane particularly opposition going off to the electoral body that's the body that will be overseeing these elections and the government going over going officer the judiciary the supreme court which of course the previous elections we've just seen one petition against some of those judges were already seeing hundreds of people on the street at the moment here and i repeat jane in front of the supreme court it's complicated but it does explain to you how fissile it is here politics is and the power that politicians have to incite or indeed come to st louis and how are the two main players using this moment stephanie. well jane i mean it's the first time for me in covering kenyan politics and it is quite. surprising to see the sort of

language used from both sides it is constantly fingers of blame you know to the point of real insults from both sides at each other blame you know saying that everyone is either corrupt or criminals need to be put in jail targeting the electoral body targeting the judges it's quite extraordinary and the problem is jane you have a very little time. left for these elections take take place when all these politicians keep going on about it you have millions of kenyans are trying to get on with their lives economy is down people are not investing in this country right now because of the uncertainty kenya's never been here before so you have that tourism is down so this is whole knock on effect of this sort of limbo where the country is at the moment so certainly it is important to get these elections back on track to have them done freely and fairly and for the outcome to be accepted by whoever is the loser and this is the last thing any thank you for that stephanie decker schoolchildren in south africa using their mobile phones to record attacks
