2:22 am
i know and welcome to the program of the parana the revenge of probably the most friendless people in the world almost ten years after those words were uttered by a un spokeswoman the situation facing could barely be more dire hundreds of sheltering in camps and bangladesh having fled what rights groups have described as atrocities by the tree. page or more of the international committee of the red cross has visited nine month walk onstage where the violent crackdown happened now while the government is going to start repair treating the head to the villages they abandoned but more told al jazeera that he doesn't think how that's possible at least in the short term for the i.c.r.c. this is still and is at the present moment first and foremost an emergency operation a lot of people have been affected from all the communities and we need also to have even stronger support and facilities from all the authorities in myanmar
2:23 am
to be able to operate and to expand our operations the reconsolidation of the communities the bringing back of minimal safety and security for people with is a tall order in the. work of many of the actors of many of the communities as well so we are probably looking at the long term and medium term perspective i don't think that we have yet conditions conducive to large scale return we'll need security arrangements which are embraced by the communities and this is again a political power of this key stakeholders in in myanmar. we certainly appreciate the support that we have for our humanitarian work and we certainly would appreciate if others would join us in the future because again we
2:24 am
do believe that this is still an emergency operation where a lot of food medical assistance basic assistance is needed for the population stows who are there into those who eventually will come home. well let's bring in our guests now engineer that we have turned ken president. in the u.k. is the means revenge organization matthew smith is and call them pour he's the co-founder and chief executive officer of forty five rights that's a nonprofit human rights organization based in southeast asia and joining us from barcelona is robert templer founder and director of the higher education alliance for refugees a very warm welcome to all of you mr turn ken i'm going to start with you despite the reservations from the red cross there is more and more talk the talk about the repair tradition of some seven hundred thousand revenge it continues but how many
2:25 am
of them want to return to myanmar and do they have a choice. as far as i know i've been i've been to the top three times to bangladesh since august two thousand and seventeen you know the big team that are reviewed is you know they told me before the i returned they want to see justice and because the our daughter has been raped the our father and drove brother has been slow to act in front of them and there should run been bond alive that is what they told me you know what we have to point out here is they want to return of called the holy land. before they are it on the i want to see this situation need to be where more than five hundred thousand rolling or if people in our street right now they want to see the situation need to recall the night in them and the a citizenship and access to health care to a degree. and it says to the
2:26 am
a business you know as to the restriction are there and on top of that where they were written this is the question because the. village has been bulldogs and you know. what do you want to return prison camp this is very clear response from there if you do these big teams when i met them all of those points and greater detail but i want to put your last question to matthew smith in kuala lumpur watch what these refugees these people from myanmar be going back to given that their houses villages have been burnt to the ground and rock and build this have already been settled and some of the land that's right elizabeth that the situation in northern rakhine state right now hasn't really changed the memoir authorities haven't really made the fundamental changes that are needed in order to ensure
2:27 am
a safe and dignified return and to ken is absolutely right the villages have been burned. there is tremendous uncertainty about protection for anybody in northern rakhine state right now who is muslim and particularly for those who are ranger. so this is this is a big concern you know at this point. there's there's nothing really on the immediate horizon that would suggest any sort of refugee return is tenable mr temple or do we know what the actual terms of the agreements between the un and the government of myanmar between the government's bond that they have and myanma. very very transparent. and maybe even request. will retain. effective security.
2:28 am
protection. so the little. man will only. very dangerous situation well i want to look more now at how we've got here at how the u.n. is describing the world's fastest growing refugee crisis the u.n. calls it a began with an offensive by myanmar's army in august last year the military said it was responding to attacks by a group but the u.n. says it became a campaign of ethnic cleansing seven hundred thousand one hundred fled their homes most of them now in camps in neighboring bonn that there are doctors without borders believes six thousand seven hundred others were killed in the first month
2:29 am
of violence and this international says what happened was systematic organized and ruthless and says culpability reaches the military's top ranks the reports of rapes looting and as the revenge of a muslim minority in myanmar and the long being denied citizenship and basic human rights by the government which for god's them as illegal immigrants mr punkin let me come to you now with the latest report by amnesty international that we've mentioned they have named thirteen top military personnel who they think should be tried at the international criminal court for war crimes including rape forced starvation how likely do you think that is that they will go to the international criminal court. yeah we have to see of course yes that is right. especially if the main online
2:30 am
senior dinner me online and other top they've been involved of course this is not a suddenly happen is quite systematic and you know what we have to see here is. the secret consul must run for international criminal court that is one point and unfortunately we have not seen that much stronger voice from security council members you know even you know u.k. is quite they are not strongly telling about it and you know of course russia and china they are there but. we have not seen quite seriously about it you know the thing is we have to look at you know it's been already more than eight months now and it's not only rohingya. kyra and shan other ethnic minority has been you know facing this seriously right violation other parts of burma you know this impunity
2:31 am
going on this is time right this is right time international community must support ice israel farland security calls musser far to the hague to burma is military and by his government including who are complicit in the genocide against that's what i can see mr smith just today we've heard from the chinese government china's top diplomat saying that they think that myanma is ready to take back the refugees how likely is it that china will support any u.n. security council action that would force the government of myanmar to the international criminal court given that they are a key supporter of the government of. yeah that's a great it's an important question elizabeth and right now the u.n. security council member states should really be doing everything in their power and that includes in their bilateral relationships with china to century just get china
2:32 am
to step aside and let justice run its course i mean no one's really asking anything of any action from china with regard to the situation really the the ask is for china to just step aside and let you have the u.n. security council refer the situation to the international criminal court for too long the diplomatic community has sort of rested on this notion that it's simply impossible because of china and i think if we have to get to the point where u.n. member states regard that as completely unacceptable and they use the political leverage that they use you know to ink other deals with with the government of china they need to use that type of leverage towards justice and human rights and we do think it is possible and it's as mr tune can said it's absolutely essential right now and must attempt is it possible to sort of circumvent china and even myanmar on this because the international criminal court right now is looking at
2:33 am
whether it can try myanmar for the crime deportation even though it's not a member state i mean can the i.c.c. get around that and do they have the will to do its. well to clear the room almost. there is a strong interest in the r.c.c. . africa missing of its case. and we like to. write. it in this case it's very clear whether they. think. this because it does pressure russia likely. to the security council. well we've heard from. the de facto leader aung san suu kyi who's faced global criticism for not standing
2:34 am
up more for the revenge of his supporters say that she has little control of on the actions and recent social media posts by cinci suggest that she blames meddling from a border for worsening divisions she said hate from outside the country have driven the two communities for the pot so if we take what she's saying about this which is consistent with what she said since the military crackdown began mr temple let me come back to you you know how likely is it that the perpetrators all of these crimes will be held to account when this is the sort of narrative coming from the country's leader. well barrier for it and i think the only ones that tell whose all this situation anyway it's clearly driven by. many people who are. making trouble every military but certainly.
2:35 am
very much in the wrong. oh there's a predator predator. pretty much. and i want to talk more about the repatriation because as we've said you know there is countries and organizations are continuing to talk about it mr tung ken i believe there's something like a hundred and twenty thousand. living in the. camps what are the conditions like in those camps and what the revenger who and bangladesh now if they have a repatriated what they be living in the same source of calves and facing the same conditions. for me as i am receiving information from the ground every day this is quite clear there will be the same situation these rohingya are when they are
2:36 am
effect treated bad that's why i mentioned earlier nobody want to return to it if you do comes at all sort of know what you want to return to prison camps at all you know these are people one hundred and twenty thousand in the sea to a it's been a kind of temporary but still there is no talk of origin a return to the ability as you know they are not proper getting proper aid and you know education and other health access at all that's why many rohingya flat many just you know by board the flight from these refugee camps you know this is a barmy it's government and military sees democratically destroying our community that's why we call it a general site you know we need to see also you know like kofi annan recombination commission already. calling for to close these i.d.p. camps are still we have not seen any positive and implementation on that so the.
2:37 am
politic or willingness from burma top military to annul de government from also so good there is no such a hope for the rohingya i can see there is no policy to us rowing a has changed nothing has changed instead situation is getting was so that's why we are calling here as their own india we know we need international protection too when drawing a repatriated back to burma without international protection this throwing a will face must atrocity against attorneys and i'm going to drag that isn't of them seventeen i mean he's not been i and that. mr snow said the international protection even be focusing on those one hundred twenty thousand that are living and can see the u.n. start would then. absolutely you know there have been avoidable deprivations in those internment camps and they are internment camps there are more than twenty internment camps in five different
2:38 am
townships in rakhine state and there are as you mentioned elizabeth more than one hundred twenty thousand men women and children who are confined to those camps they're denied freedom of movement many of them are denied access to livelihoods their health needs maternal mortality is a very serious issue in those camps so there does need to be unfettered humanitarian access to those areas but more importantly you know it's really not sensible to be talking about returning refugees to recline state while the meum our government is confining more than one hundred twenty thousand to internment camps so those camps do need to be deconstructed as the anon commission recommended and those individuals and families living in those camps have a right to return and to rebuild their homes and they deserve reparations on top of that but unfortunately right now there are no indicators from the mia maurice ortiz that that's going to happen anytime soon and mr temple you know one aspect of the
2:39 am
story that is often overlooked is how all of this is impacting the many people of color and they sees themselves who are already one of the most impoverished people in the world i think nearly a set of them live an extreme policy so what impact has some at least seven hundred thousand coming across the border had on people in that part of. what is the devastation. it causes the. tree. well it's a very poor. place it's very severe. expand it. it's. and it's great a little loose. since they were dramatically. so who are especially russians i must dismiss i think bangladesh is spending something like
2:40 am
a million dollars a day to sustain its own relief and security efforts where is this money coming from well right now there are huge shortfalls among the international aid organizations in terms of the the amount of resources that they need to provide even vaisakhi aid to the refugee population and you know bangladesh has done. a really great service to the ranger community to you know except the refugee population i was on the border when tens of thousands of people were pouring across and i could see the border guards going out of their way to ensure that refugees could make their way to a secure and safe place and i think that need to be acknowledged however there are other things happening on the ground in the camps and aid groups are having a difficult time doing their work due to some arbitrary restrictions that are being imposed by various authorities so i think the bangladesh authorities need to stay
2:41 am
vigilant to ensure that the aid organizations that are operating there can work closely with religious communities to to provide. gentlemen we don't have very long left in the program in the last question to all of you the u.n. secretary general antonio tears is going to be in the region and beyond that they should in a couple of days to assess the severity of the crisis and what needs to be done what do you think needs to happen to to support the refugees living in bonn the days to support the bond that they she's themselves and to ensure that if a petri ation does happen it is not forced and does not send the russian back into harms way missed its own can let me start with you. yes great to see he's busy it into the. hams in next week that is very good first thing what i want to say we would like to see he has
2:42 am
a roving eye you know the u.n. a.c.r. . u.n.h.c.r. myanmar government and u.n. d.p. agreement there is a set is. there is no transparency on that agreement we asked the rohingya as the big teams has a refugee is they did not consult with any representative of this community this is very very disturbing and i do not think this is totally you know. it is totally not. it's really not i don't see this is this would walk because you know rohingya they want to be consulted with the u.n. a c.r. sale and for want. they need to see mr templar what about you. running. through.
2:43 am
security. and mr smith. i agree with mr temple i agree with mr tin can and in addition to that i would just add that it's absolutely essential that the secretary general send a very clear message to perpetrators and me and more that this type of behavior is completely unacceptable and the perpetrators will be held accountable this message of accountability is absolutely essential but beyond that there needs to be action and so we would also like to see the secretary general apply pressure to the u.n. security council to refer the situation to the criminal international criminal court and missed a turn can just last the you know so much of this has been caused by the fact that the russian jet don't have legal rights as citizens in myanmar has anything been
2:44 am
done has any action being taken by the government there to give them more legal status or protection. though we didn't see. anything from the government side at all because you meant by barbara means government right yes you know burmese government this been a systematic prosecution going on since my interest is due to you know after nine hundred seventy eight we have teen you know of many operations against rohingya so . what i can see here is we need to see the solution from not inside burma at all because as a whole burma you know us deep you go by us d.p. party you know the government of military security flaws police for first nobody want to see rule he has the cities and unfortunately even though we have glorious pacifist abolishment. they don't recall the nice us so the solution will come from international level so we need international community protection and you know also
2:45 am
when you have secretary general because it we need to see you know a very near future i don't think this or if we do will be trying to burma at all so as a counter act of this when by his government and military destroy you know a community we need to counteract to rebuild to empire our community in refugee camps or out of the way we can move forward you know because we need protection. i'm afraid and i will run out of time to building others need to be done thank you very much for your time there is just one can and geneva matthew smith and kuala lumpur and robert templer in boston and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com and to further discussion and to go to our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter i had a list at a.j. and five story from the end of the prom and the whole team here i found.

migrants are missing feared dead after their boat bound for europe capsized in the mediterranean it happened just hours after european leaders signed a compromise deal aimed at preventing such journeys from north africa after a marathon summit in brussels e.u. countries have agreed to consider setting up secure centers for migrants in north africa providing cash for those countries to help stop migration to europe the e.u. will give turkey more than three billion dollars to help take care of the three and a half million syrian refugees living there e.u. leaders also hope to set up secure centers within the block to process the asylum claims and to step up the return of undocumented migrants lawrence lee has more now from bras. when the future of the european union may be at stake it's worth staying up all night to save its so that's what they did. emerging warily at five in the morning the french president suggested they had bridged the gap many thought impossible to some position. europe is not an island and we must be able to face up

to this challenge was for many loyal to our values and protected our people and national cohesion tonight we took an important step many predicted the impossibility of an agreement many predicted the triumph of national solutions tonight we have succeeded in finding a european solution and a way of working in cooperation. micron will take the credit for winning the rebellious it's how he and governments around the breakthrough policy is to set up sensors at which migrants and refugees will be screened and either sent home or resettled among countries prepared to have them even if it isn't clear how the italians who would also demanded reform of wider asylum rules then signals that consensus. at the end of the european council we have a more responsible and more united europe italy is no longer alone. and keeping the hardliners happy extended to germany as well where chancellor merkel's political
2:52 am
future has been in the balance the indications seem to be that the right wingers in her coalition seem satisfied that germany will be better protected from mass refugee flows that merkel has self acknowledged the vos rift in europe about humanitarian values this is we have agreed on five guidelines but two are still lacking a common european asylum system but i'm optimistic after today that we can really continue to work even though there is still a lot to be done to bridge the different views other moves like strengthening support for the libyan coast guard will be condemned by humanitarian organizations as europe turning its back on its legal obligations if this were a success it was only in that it staved off the apparent imminent collapse of the european union under the weight of migration but in doing so it gave more weight to the populist right wing in europe a further retreat from the liberal values the european union is so fond of proclaiming. and as ever the final communique was long gone which is very short on

promises about how to accomplish them this may have averted a crisis for now but europe remains a political unit deeply unhappy lawrence li al-jazeera brussels. as we said earlier it's been another busy day for libya's coast guard its crews have rescued more than three hundred refugees and migrants off the coast of tripoli but another one hundred a feared drowned mom who had has the latest. these migrants have just been rescued by libya's coast guard and they were on three rubber boats and immediately before their rubber boats capsized in the mediterranean libya's coast guard patrols received a distress call from the migrants also the patrol say that another one hundred migrants were on board of of course they died in the mediterranean these migrants are from different african countries including. mali and also the
2:54 am
majority of them are from sudan now they are usually being set here and they are supposed to be sent to detention centers where some of them who want to. return to their own countries they can return to their own countries incorporation with the the i.o.m. the international organization for migration now these migrants say that they have fled war poverty and on and unemployment in their own countries and they have paid people smugglers in libya to send them to italy now. during these summer months there may gratian may ration boats increase from libyan tours across the mediterranean because the weather is calm and the sea is also during these summer months or airplane counsel present an alternative has won the

implementing the latest agreement is going to be difficult as regards show or do you want migration it's a shot too early to talk about the success. of which to reach an agreement in the review. but this is in fact the issues fast of the task. from the girls for a new start implementing it. well it's a these new populist prime minister threatened to block the deal unless all the e.u. countries agree to share the number of refugees and migrants coming to europe charlie angela has more from sicily. we're hearing tania and this is the last ship that brought in rescued migrants two weeks ago since then interior minister matteo salvini has closed italy's ports and at the summit there was no discussion as to what will happen the next time a european boat carrying rescued migrants is left stranded in the mediterranean instead italy's prime minister just emerged from the summit saying italy is no
2:56 am
longer alone he went in threatening to use his veto it if there was not an agreement that suited italy he did because of that italians believe they got some concessions but nothing will change if we don't play hardball on greece or voices we never get anything so long. under the new e.u. agreement italy could host voluntarily new migrant centers that would process all arrivals and determine which are genuine refugees and which are illegal migrants to be sent back these would be financed and managed by the e.u. this country already has refugee camps the difference is that these arrivals would no longer be subject to the dumping regulations italy would not be responsible for them solely the idea is they could be divided up between other member states but again there's no concrete agreement on how that would happen and for italians sharing the burden is a key issue. italy has been left alone it's true but of course i don't agree on the methods used by our interior minister i do think europe has to be reformed
2:57 am
especially because there is no agreement on this issue the agreement also promises to explore the idea of setting up disembarkation platforms in north africa to try and process migrants before they even attempt to the mediterranean crossing but not all italians are convinced that if trying to fix the problem in africa on the spot and trying to help them here it is really difficult war should always be welcomed and not pushed away but pushing away is exactly what italy has done in closing its ports and the new e.u. declaration that asylum seekers landing in italy are actually arriving in europe seems almost redundant. in this i'm joined by leopold. is a policy analyst at the think tank here thank you very much for coming to us so we have here a very broad agreement by outlining a series of ideas and proposals but absolutely no practical detail here can it work
2:58 am
. there was a question it was obviously very very quick in the first instance loves everyone to claim success but a question is how will they actually follow up to all the proposals that were made the talked about opening centers close to us within the european union to open other refugee centers territory and it's all very interesting ideas firstly in your main question is how elections will open it and the many question marks left and how do you as it can actually be implemented what are the next steps likely to be i think the austrians on a taking up your council presidency and they will push quite hard on having these steps implemented so that the first thing will be to front text us border control agency will receive more money will receive more stuff in the next budget was the camps emerging within the european union as well and claims are processed and there will be further talks of them with third countries for them to help to you to manage migration basically paying them off to stop migrants from ever reaching europe and there is this idea that they will give more money to turkey to deal with syrian refugees there and migrant processing centers in in countries in north
2:59 am
africa but it doesn't look as if that will be sustainable because it's not clear that those countries will agree to something like that and some countries have ruled it out from the outset. of the countries ruled out you never know if you offer enough money you will most likely find someone who will accept it but the question is always at a peril of someone else's will i mean if talk at one point is not a woman on the stick to this agreement then you're basically it's no system in place to deal with them of aggression inflexible full of this so it's a very unstable system not very suitable to protect you long term or to manage migration and we see that a rapid fall in the new arrivals of migrants it's come down by ninety six percent but what happens to the immigrants and refugees that are already in europe because it is some countries are ruling out any sort of fair distribution or quotas anything mandatory like that this is a big problem of this current crisis a little bit of crisis of influx of people because that has gone down
3:00 am
a lot but what is with the people who are in. and it's a big problem in germany to germany has been refugees from riches that elsewhere in the union both a move to germany which is possible because they're showing them free zone. yes and this will be a big question of how this will be solved you mention the shang and free zone could we be reaching the beginning of the end of. border free travel in europe that this this freedom of movement that facilitates jobs in trade i think that if you your friends allusion to mention that religion six total borders then showing it will continue to exist the problem is only what happens if they use external borders are not safe and people keep coming in and then countries start doing national solutions closing national border which them in germany want which hunger already did and then china would most likely break down but so far it seems we're still at least a bit away from this luckily we have seen a number of ships operated by foreign n.g.o.s being turned away with refugees and migrants on board not being allowed to dock and in certain countries are we going
