in his first visit to the capital neighbored or last week to listen call the events in rakhine as just horrific he also said an impartial independent investigation is needed. russia's ambassador to me on maher says the ethnic cleansing label is unhelpful and an independent investigation is not acceptable for me and more so many young gone agree but oh maybe going on a when you know in my opinion the statement by the u.s. secretary of state is one sided he's meddling in our country's affairs. even though a repatriation agreement has been reached it's not clear how quickly the refugees were turned to myanmar not to mention of they'll be going back to the villages they were a victim from or even if many villages which were left in flames still exist it's got hotter al-jazeera yangon. at least eight people are dead and dozens more injured after a suicide attack in afghanistan's eastern province the attack happened in the provincial capital of jalalabad officials say the explosion targeted a local police commander who was recently dismissed from his job the officer

they knew accommodation is near and australia's government says it's ready for them and they should have moved in weeks ago but i've seen some of the accommodation and the still heavy machinery working on it and we tried to film a new home from a nearby road so private security for trucks stopped us this is the accommodation of the refugees are moving say the australian government says it's ready to go. but is that because there are trucks there it's clearly still being worked on but the state of the new camp isn't the major issue for the refugees our protest our resistance is. the main reason is because our freedom we want our freedom we didn't come from. prison for they fear being dumped what they see is merely an alternative jail still on a remote island and the australian government takes no responsibility for it at all andrew thomas al jazeera on my side and in papua new guinea. yemen's main

assad in a draft resolution that had been speculation that the high negotiations committee would soften their position after the resignation of the former chief of riyadh who job the group is backed by saudi arabia it says the aim of the riyadh conference is to unify opposition groups ahead of upcoming negotiations in geneva. lebanon's prime minister says the recent political crisis is a wake up call reminding his people to put their country first ahead of regional issues saad hariri put his resignation on hold when he returned to beirut on wednesday after the president asked for more dialogue his surprise decision to quit announced in saudi arabia two weeks ago was seen as part of the regional power play between saudi arabia and iran has been talking to people in beirut to get their reaction to a dramatic. political crisis but the main problem between the two major political alliances the pro and pro hezbollah camps has not gone away hezbollah's arms and

the groups to militarily intervene in conflicts beyond lebanon's borders have long divided the lebanese political differences that are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. i believe an agreement can be reached to stick to the disassociation policy lebanon should stay away from all the conflicts of the arab region maybe they need to succeed because it's. just like. the ball game. three weeks ago lebanon found itself yet again on the brink prime minister resigned while he was in saudi arabia it was unexpected even his closest aides were shocked to stay in the kingdom was mysterious many in lebanon including the president accuse saudi arabia of forcing him to resign and holding him hostage last week he

left for paris after french mediation he came back to beirut he then decided to suspend his resignation saying he wants to give time for dialogue so what happened many here believe it was not an internal lebanese affair. to avoid direct conflicts which is the case between iran and saudi they each supporting small groups in lebanon to fight the battle for example the saudis are using prime minister hariri to pressure iran and hezbollah. have eighteen six hereon groups and many of them are supported by foreign powers and none of them are sticking to dissociation policy here nor are they working for the interests of lebanon on. what the leader of germany's a social democrat party has met the country's president to see if they can break a political impasse since the election talks to form a government led by the chancellor angela merkel broke down over the shoulder says

so far refused to enter coalition talks but is under increasing pressure to do so so mccain is in berlin for us. it's been a day of meetings for the social democrat party leader martin short's first with his senior colleague the president of germany frank fattush fine meyer which was called at the request of the president basically to see whether mr shultz feels there's any possibility of being able to find a solution to the political and pass that has developed since the weekend when the coalition talks between the other main parties collapsed and then there was a meeting for mr schultz with his senior party colleagues on the s.p.d. the social democrat board later in the afternoon the point to be made there is that mr schultz has been implacably opposed until now to the idea of another grand coalition with angle americans christian democrat party but increasingly voices of senior social democrat colleagues of his have said well look actually if there can't be a government of a different political hue maybe we should go back into government with angela

merkel because germany needs to billet that's the point to make here that there are very many other factors at play not least on the european scale given the importance europe germany has in the e.u. given briggs it talks and other important european matters that will require a stable government in germany. it's been an important day in south korea with hundreds of thousands of students sitting university entrance exams south korea is a competitive country and authorities pull out all the stops to make sure that students get the tests and do well airline the partners are delayed and many businesses open later to reduce traffic congestion casanova reports now from seoul . the years of study and long nights of after school tuition have all come down to this. i prepared a lot but now the days here i feel uneasy and nervous. was

extracurricular activities instead of the single exam i feel great because i know there are some people who who look towards the tsunami as if that's their last chance to prove themselves and they study so hard to just show everything that they have studied and one day a growing number of students have been opting for the new system today only thirty percent of university applications are based primarily on exam results. the education and college admissions systems are changing to ease fierce competition among students and to provide more learning opportunities a focus more on learning and less on memory. i believe the level of stress that students have from study is lower than the past. second year student kung say agrees her stress levels are lower than they might have been but still not exactly

low sure the it's just still exists because you know there are many academies and students are pressured to be more excelling because the universe never cities are you know a big factor in their futures. and for many students this test could still be the crucial factor that determines what kind of future they will have kathy novak al jazeera so all. the holiday tradition in the u.s. has reignited controversy around sport and racism one of this year's thanksgiving football games is for the first time in the league's history being held in the capital but the host seen the washington redskins uses a name that many people see as a slur against native americans alan fisher has more. or many have been preparing the feast simon moyer smith has been preparing the protest of those since gather moshing to d.c. for the big american football game he says he will highlight the forgotten story of
