citizenship the government has discriminatorily the night physicians to them since that time and continues to do so while i was in congress i met chris van to jesus showed me documentation related to citizenship held by previous generations including their parents and grandparents that they have church lay preserved when we speak of the future of the range of citizenship we must speak of its restoration by the government of myanmar and not use vague terminology such as a pathway to citizenship for doing so deny the reality of what types happened as well as the dignity of the people that it happened to and does not provide a durable and long lasting solution for their own injured populations for milan government is committed to ensuring a pathway to citizenship for the range of people however in reality for years to

accept governments have placed the ring on a pathway. to citizenship rights that they previously enjoyed during their mission i have had the opportunity to have teleconferences with various individuals and groups and now must i am aligned by what i was told about the developments affecting the human rights of those in myanmar by all the people like spoke to on this trip in person and by phone opening bell like overwhelmingly the message that they gave me is that enough is enough for them to represent civil situation that exists for the people of myanmar must and today. it was reported to me that the democratic space in nam continues to sharply the perrier rate repressive laws for example that teletech medications lot of peaceful assembly and peaceful procession and unlawful etal see asian law continued to be used to

suppress the legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of expression assembly and association and freedom of press i have received credible information that at least six persons were charged under section sixty six three of them are telecommunications law in june two thousand and eighteen while let's just sizing their legitimate freedoms the arbitrary and subjective interpretation and applications of these laws to suppress political dissidents or you human rights defenders and activists has resulted in there continuing to be political detainees and prisoners despite so many members of the n.l.r.b. having been political prisoners of self i urge the government to repeal and amanda problematic plonks that i have repeatedly flask and undertake the necessary work to ensure people in the margin live in a climate of fear while exercising their fundamental democratic rights i am told

that on nine july that to reuters journalists who have faced prolonged legal proceedings and since december last year will finally hear whether there is a case against them or if they will be discharged they have reportedly been deprived of medical support and subjected to sleep deprivation in contravention contravention of the privileged rendition against inhumane and degrading treatment and the standard many among rules for the treatment of prisoners i have recently received reports that police violently suppressed a protest against the erection. statute or general. day. to ethnic people. under section five. in relation to

a letter that they distributed to the protestors this is their latest series the series of i've read that young demonstrators in that country who are seeking to exercise their right peaceful. card are you watching now just zero and that is the un special rapporteur on the situation on human rights in me in mar yang and she's holding a press conference on the final day of her ten day visit to bangladesh and that trip did include a trip to the refugee camps in cox's bazar to see the situation for the row hinge of refugees and we have with us the mohammad june he's here on set how mothers well has just come back from that particular refugee camp and cox's so you were listening in to what yang yankee lee excuse me had to say and she really had painted a very grim picture of him in is bizarre. it's

really we were hearing a lot of frustration from yankee li in that press conference as well frustrated at the fact that she's been denied the chance to go back to me and more since this past december she's not getting cooperation from the government of me and more in her mission as special repertoire on human rights in me and more and you know one of the key things she said then was that this reprehensible situation that exists in me and more for the ranger must in today she also said that there were hinge must be recognized as rule him by all parties and this is something that we heard again and again this past week when we were in cox's bazar there were hinge of population we're talking about almost a million that are. in cox's bizarre right now in the largest refugee settlement in the world many of the community leaders there are becoming much more emboldened in demanding citizenship they are frustrated by the fact that they feel that they have been marginalized by the process that the you in that the international community

that the government of myanmar are engaged in to try to establish a mechanism by which this repeat tree ation process could possibly begin the re-injure are saying or many of them are saying that they would not consider going back and the less they work to get citizenship that's something that they've been denied for decades they are the largest stateless group of people in the world and when they see that you when signing memoranda of understanding with the government of myanmar in which they are not specifically referred to as were hinges that angers them and they feel that there is not anything that they can trust with regard to this process going forward all right how much of june we'll leave it there we thank you for breaking that down for us thank you very much.

one of the biggest problems facing our oceans and the loss of seagrass meadows what's actually real for roughly fifteen percent of the ocean is total carbon storage perhaps or they hope to wife as much carbon dioxide as rain forests and they're also question marine habitats for many endangered oceans these things. but here on elkhorn slew in central california the tide could be turning for seagrass thanks to some unexpected allies. oh yeah i mean.

this nine hundred hectare as is where rivers throughout this region meet the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertilizer and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate ecosystem so having farmers so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well anywhere where you get coastal environments close to urban centers coastal environments close. you get problems like this. it grows the tar rocks it eventually starts the composing over. half of the world's sea grass meadows are in decline but here in al corn slew they're making a surprising comeback. oh wow.

at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation's appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade. sea otters the crabs lower crop numbers allows smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass eating algal build up on the leaves they allow sunlight to reach the plants. because sea otters are so crucial to the ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they

capture them and tag them with radio devices. firing their work really well. she was probably very close. what's the purpose of tracking we go out seven days a week is to go out and find individuals see where they are what they're doing. and the other part of it is a star so we can understand the distribution of otters in this area what are they eating how are they doing health wise there's one right there that's three four nine six so that beeping is an arm that peeping is from the radio transmitter that's surgically implanted in her help system ok. why don't you take a look yet you're out in there. along the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life

and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against the routines of facts of the sea otters moving crowd especially the scene grass an advantage again so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world will have a knock on that potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that wiped out they have a great potential for restoring the health of that system.

with bureaus spawning six continents across the. sea to. al-jazeera correspondents live in green the stories they tell. us about it. you see her food in world news one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be pushes you know it's very challenging they believe but together because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people. to tell the real stories i just meant if he has to deal with in-depth enemies and we don't feel in favor good audiences across the globe.

every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories happened was in the truck didn't happen the boy told through the eyes of the world journalists the images matter

a lot of international politics joined the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most big third is someone from the country who guides you who needs you to this story of the bottom line tells us who wrote the listening post on al-jazeera the nature of news as it breaks although thousands of women have reported rape and other sexual atrocities in falsehood and sewer rats are going to say the figure is likely much higher with detailed coverage nearly fifty schools took part in the drive each one responsible had her liking at different aida school supplies clothing from around the world third for four whole it's still very new here but these players are very confident they won't be able to leave god that made people want to buy all the introductions but. this is one of the most fun parts of our judicial system what to do with children examining juvenile justice he didn't adult crime

he's got a face an adult sons adolescents should not be demanding the rest of their lives for actions that are taken at that period of their lives he's just as guilty as suffers the same consequences that's the law exploring the dark side of american justice the system with joe burden on al-jazeera. a dangerous rescue operation for twelve boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in thailand. well again peter dhabi here in doha you are watching al-jazeera also coming up with

hugs and she is the leaders of the bitter rivals ethiopia and eritrea meet for the first time. with a handshake south sudan's warring leaders try again to make peace agreeing to a power sharing deal. and. the danger of running with the bulls we'll find out whether the risk is all worth it. police divers in northern thailand have begun a risky operation to rescue twelve boys and their football coach trapped in a deep cave now their plight has transfixed the world as the authorities struggled to devise a plan to get the team through twisting narrow and jagged passage ways that in some places are completely flooded the rescuers hope to bring all of them out before the monsoon rains hit forecast for later on sunday causing even more flooding the boys have been trapped for more than two weeks. when me today our readiness has reached

its peak today we're carrying out the d.-day operation at ten am thirteen cave died as it went inside the cave to start the evacuation of the kids the thirteen kids know about the operation that's being carried out and they're ready to come out with us they're ready to face any. scott heil is our correspondent in chiang rai so scott as far as we know there are two party driver body divers ahead and behind the first child to come out but they're not body diving and as much as they're sharing tanks the air is being pumped through a tube system. exactly peter it's a very sophisticated system that they have particularly that's why it's been taking so long for them to really green light this rescue operation because there are so many different because there's so many different facets to it now before we get into a little bit more of the mechanics behind that peter i want to let you know that we have we have a source at the mouth of the cave and he has been telling us that there is activity

up there you know there's been this line of ambulances that have been waiting for when the boys come out we're also being told by a source that this first batch you know it's going to be there the boy is going to come out in batches this first batch is six boys we're hearing that some of the ambulances have been moving around and there's activity that they hadn't seen over the last several hours obviously we can't confirm anything on that we haven't heard any helicopters going yet there to temper how it pads near us where these boys are supposed to be taken by ambulance from the cave mouth into these helicopters and then taken the sixty kilometers to the provincial capital of chiang rai where there's a more sophisticated hospital so we haven't heard any of that but right now we're getting word from sources at the mouth of the cave that there is something going on we don't know exactly what that is back to the mechanics of this yes it's a very complex and it's you know diving conditions that even expert divers take hours and hours to go through just to get themselves through so yes it's a very complicated system you've got these boys who have are in varying degrees of

how you know they've been in this cave for two weeks and a day mt everest some might be suffering from a little bit of decline in levels of oxygen so they're going to be compromised physically mentally you can imagine what that what state they're in anxious stressed so it's a very complex operation but it's you know it's been going on now for several hours and hopefully we're going to see some of the some of the outcome of this very intense complicated operation in the coming hours maybe something's going on right now but obviously we're keeping a very close eye on it so it's two divers per child as they're under the water can they talk to the children or can the divers talk to each other or indeed can the divers talk to the people the cave system who are running this. i think it's a different communication systems in different stages of this exit if you will and we know that you know early on i spoke to a diving expert early on in this whole situation maybe about ten days ago and he

said one of the key things to keep these boys calm going through this process is that they can talk to someone that they can you know if their concerns to really relate reduce the possibility of them panicking and that is one of the biggest dangers in this kind of process in this kind of very tight quarters claustrophobic low visibility and inexperienced divers then panicking yes obviously puts their lives in danger but also the two body divers so yes there's communication between them and obviously one of them will have to speak thai we know that there are at least five navy seal tied navy seal divers in this process so yes communication is absolutely key now can those two divers in these very complex dives the two most challenging parts of the of the way out are dives at the kind of the beginning of this of this nearly five kilometer trek out they will be in touch with the other can they talk to people at the base of operations probably not maybe when they get

to an anon flooded area and there's another station with other rescue workers obviously communications lines can go that way so it's going to be a very kind of spotty communication process to get them out and very complicated and we might be seeing hopefully some of the first voice coming out of this first batch very soon peter scott thanks very much. we move on ethiopia's prime minister is in neighboring eritrea for an historic summit now it's the first such visit by any ethiopian leader in more than twenty years and he was greeted by the eritrean president. at the airport ahead of a summit between the two regional rivals ethiopia and eritrea fought a costly war between one thousand nine hundred eight and two thousand over a disputed border but there have been signs of improving relations in recent months after the prime minister mr abbey agreed to accept the terms of a peace deal that ended that conflict hallelujah is the program director of a money africa he thinks the shared history of the two countries are more important

than the differences. this just between two countries to ordinary countries for two or three neighbors if you're paying your three year period each history shared culture shared religion and shared me more intro so if your peers any of us foreign policy and regional engagement has been significantly been shipped by this water and this deal made that followed for eighteen years and the two countries acknowledges that the stalemate the nor water policy has significantly damaged their. economies we can articulate and the political situation in the two countries and the two countries have huge potential for economic cultural and political cooperation that will have a great impact for their security and integration of the horn of africa and the because eastern africa. south sudan's warring parties have agreed to

a nother power sharing deal under which the rebel leader rick my child will be reinstated as vice president announcement was made by the foreign minister of neighboring sudan regional leaders have been mediating peace talks in uganda to end south sudan's civil war a similar deal was signed in twenty fifteen but it fell apart a year later the conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions since twenty thirteen. it's agreed in principle. that. he. will work. together with his brother took that which are for the sake of peace understand reality of south sudan it's agreed to will be arriving. for vice presidential because. the incumbent president of continual. agility dr we have much of the general first vice president and turns of thousands of south sudanese children have been separated from their families some have been

reunited but without a country that has poor going to a station and facilities tracking the families tracing them is one of the main big challenges when morgan now from juba. it's a moment of joy but also nervousness for eleven year old as she packs her clothes. she's about to fly thousands of miles to see her parents and she hasn't seen for more than four years since just before the start of south sudan's civil war. my aunt took me to stay with her for a while and then the war happened by peer in stores i was still with my aunt but i was taken to an orphanage i hadn't seen my family in a very long time. is one of thousands of children who were separated from their families the war started in twenty fifteen when president salva kiir accused his former vice president riek machar of attempting a coup since then many children have arrived unaccompanied at refugee camps after fleeing their homes were told was in the capital juba when fighting started in his

hometown find his children were displaced and it was nearly five years before he saw them again with kong when one of my barker i had come to juba for treatment with the children's mother the war happened and i couldn't contact my children i even got sick and lost weight because i was worried about them sometimes thinking that they were dead. tens of thousands of people have been killed in the war and a third of the told me in population displaced sixty percent of them children aid organizations say more than seventeen thousand children have been separated from their families since the start of the war and the fighting continuing and more families displaced it's likely even if some children are being reunited with their families even more are being separated. the process of tracing families and getting them back together is no easy task some children are very young and you need to have a lot of. stuff you know to get information from children and the wide search area

the transportation of children because no routes and it's only a flight security is a very challenging thing sometimes you know we identify families then we know where the parents are and the children sat in this kind of situation really storing the links between family and the child because we cannot reunify to some of the security situations and security situation that's kept a war from seeing his children for years and which hopes will not deny her the opportunity for a long awaited reunion with her family even morgan al-jazeera juba the syrian military and a rebel group in the southern province of iraq are accusing each other breaching a cease fire deal that was only agreed forty eight hours ago opposition activists say at least four people have been killed in airstrikes targeting areas to the east of daraa city the russian brokered deal so rebels agreed to hand over heavy weapons in exchange for security guarantees and safe passage to other areas government troops took control of a border crossing with jordan and promise.
