to find out more about the region just citizenship problems salaam headed for another part of such way to meet a community leader she asked about the claim that the row hinge on migrated from bangladesh. hell fundamental member. the rules are being levied. the lower the board yet the mahmoudiya vehicle much easier. than it really very. much to general of english. general at the time in denmark. given that it knew that danny was little. me in mars nineteen eighty two citizenship laws did not recognize the marine child

and this has precluded them from gaining equal rights. but the government has since issued what are called white cards. at the time this was viewed as a commitment to ground the written just status that would enable them to apply for citizenship. zones osho disallow these white id cards. that they got a few got what that did. to get up the polish economic. and all the mulling a a but you don't democracy a tweet we were jim by matching and then have it. written down the seine will.

to go to the whole album out in the hope of with another movie the money or money of it the money and i get it you know the want to look up the music upbeat and look at the movie again. coming up in part to the range of women who flock to bangladesh with harrowing stories of their alleged treatment by the army in broad kind states. of the muzzle but that. club is on the other will it play and then it would like to get that the mother automated it will do that if he did get in then it would be by the court of law that are going to bug out when i am just. a new village committed to has been elected and is grappling with the obvious tosca

sustaining a community but the residents of this chinese village have grown impatient and have one can stand inside. the reclamation of bad land democracy is complicated hard to live a six part series don't die but five years we kind china's democracy experiment on mountains iraq. the nature of news as it breaks the syrian government with the backing of iran and russia now controls sixty percent of syria after steadily recapturing territory with detailed coverage what was supposed to be a summit between the two most powerful leaders in the world is taking things to a new level from around the world the backdrop of course all of this is a gigantic power vacuum in northern irish politics with no functioning local government for eighteen months.

this was wrong to take children away from their parents and herd them into a school against their will there was no room on their no father figures they put is a big player and we sort of looked after so i don't remember the children's names never forget the kind it is dark secret on al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan in doha with a quick reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera after twenty two years of talks an agreement has been signed which could settle a territorial dispute over the caspian sea the leaders of russia kazakhstan and iran turkmenistan and azerbaijan which border the caspian are meeting in the port city of tal they've signed the convention on the legal status of the sea but so far no details on what they decided had been released it's all about how much of the

caspian sea each country can claim as there is well the russian president vladimir putin said agreement was crucial to regional security and beyond. bizarre persisted a un security is very important and this is what underpins our agreements and this region has an influence on afghanistan on the middle east so this really affects the basic interests states and we need to pull together to combat the threat of terrorism and trans boundary criminality iran's president said support from the caspian sea countries for the iran nuclear deal was a good sign for an agreement on sharing the area's natural resources here for example as about a drum borne vonage the five countries efforts to support the iran nuclear deal is a good step towards expanding regional cooperation and the betterment of relations between us the natural resources of the caspian sea belong to the five countries bordering it so to prevent any dispute in the areas we have not negotiated we must avoid any unilateral exploration of the natural resources in this area people in

mali have started voting in a runoff presidential election president ibrahim kater won the first round with forty one percent of the vote but opposition candidates see say accuses him of fruit. in afghanistan taliban fighters are pushing to take control of the police headquarters and gas need two days after they stormed into the city security checks are being conducted on the kabul to galilee highway as the fighting continues some residents who fled the city said government buildings were set on fire. one of masses most ambitious space missions was blasted off three two one zero lift off the park a solar probe will fly closer to the sun than any previous satellite is designed to brave explains temperatures of more than a thousand degrees and speeds of seventy thousand kilometers an hour the mission will last a total of seven years merging well those were the headlines the news continues

here on al-jazeera after al-jazeera world stage and that's a watching. mean maher also known as burma has about a million range at the start of twenty seventeen there are muslims and say they've lived in what's now known as rock kind states for generations. but official and public discrimination led to widespread violence in twenty twelve. and tens of thousands of moved to refugee camps by early twenty seventeen thousands more had fled to bangladesh but the numbers have now reached about seven hundred thousand with the u.n. finding evidence of human rights abuses including gang rape murder and torture. al jazeera arabic correspondent we visited me in mar in february twenty seventh

team to investigate how they were being treated. and i want to come. i don't know. if you. walk. me through or. you. and her film crews every move was closely observed by paying close police.

on. a walk to a shot of the anomaly a dog had a. boy of four not calculable shot i know by the have not yet done. you mean. that right eat and. watch. what. they ate meat is. highly. shane and. it's. still wary of the police who are all hinge a man showed said a video clip from an isolated area of mondo in rock kind states. what

happened. is a member crew and the police supreme. know my dorm and a number of b. unmarked police were killed by an armed group in rockland state in october twenty sixth seen. this reportedly sparked a series of attacks against by the army. special government committee was that up to investigate the violence but it found no evidence to support the allegations of atrocities against. despite these powerful images. was given more video by humanitarian organizations the images again graphic

appearing to show violence. and torture. some of the images to horrific to be shown on television.

had planned to travel on from scituate. state but the police refused to allow it. me and mark can often be a very difficult place for journalists to operate. instead i met a member of the rock kind national party who had served on the government committee that investigated the alleged violence against the ranger in october twenty sixth. could have and on he was a. good teacher i mean me are you believe gaza refugee who let's you know double

it being was you going to your community anybody. anybody you cry to really are. these are the big alleviate the entire area to be the goji and i thought. that all is terribly ariad to whom you wrote that much as you got a little. bit deeper than opulent don't we are only needed to rumble and he needed you which although you and he made me do much either not now you are a monday night off but in a year of change i'll do it then you cool mum will go locally so level by today to join a lot of them that alliteration. asked why there seemed such think of feeling against the written job driving everyone. from over there generally the body of the iraqi government general bone up on the way.

they're trying to gin up here is a joke. think by bizarre that roy doubled it. to have not only a moment generally to try but the other people with different views of what it will would. love even as it was there would be bit which of the soldiers the kind of over off general being the home. of a growing doesn't of it who will. be you cried with the baby was a witness of the robot to look at the room. in february twenty seventh seen the u.n. report to a raft of human rights violations after interviewing over two hundred russian jock . in march twenty seventh it announced a fact finding mission to me in march but in june twenty seventeen the me and marc government said it would deny entry to officials taking part in the un investigation. meanwhile in mark until new to receive financial assistance from

india israel russia and the united states which lifted sanctions against it in twenty sixteen. met a former director of human rights watch in me in march now an independent observer . the military is still the major institution in this country and the military still has extraordinary powers guaranteed by the two thousand and constitution twenty five percent of the seats in in the parliament three k. ministries that really controls a lot of the country massive troops all throughout the country. they run huge parts of the economy they don't just get one of the the biggest shares of the national budget they also have extensive business interests throughout the country . asked what the situation was like in mandell in february twenty seven thousand there is no doubt that there is a new phase in the conflict among dog with the appearance of this militant group

that has staged violent attacks against the security forces and has killed a number of security personnel however. the threat posed by this new group. is is disproportionate to the scale of the security forces responses. what about the role of nk send suchi. aung san suu kyi doesn't have a role in this she hasn't done anything and when she is effectively the leader of the country and she stays relatively silent about the abuses going on and does not make a public call for the security forces to rein in their behavior and call for calm. an ability for any violations have taken place then she's been in dereliction of injuries as far as i'm julie elected leader of the country i'm sure she's really been absent when the home force as a leader needs to be. quite simply i think the military and the government of

blocking people from going into northern longo because they have something really horrible to hot i think they're all indications for satellite imagery into the government's own admissions and through credible reporting coming out of the area that there has been extensive human rights violations and they want to hide the extent of the feel of the abuses against the civilian population that's a cover up. said i decided to make one more big to try and get to maddow shaking off her minder and arriving at the ferry terminal at dawn. sort of and that i could little but up to thirty could assist me i had to get out but as of that there wasn't enough but they don't want so for the loss of

additional. mandell luck and i felt at that that could lend a shortfall here meant to be ahead here at the dock. and not. look. at it. why i knew better michel. why his credit must run to the top of the committee to find out. if he does tell you that the. the police stopped before she even got close to the ferry. i need better michel.

that it will be all gift if i don't get. no paper no trip to man. the alternative was bangladesh. in late twenty sixteen and early twenty seventeen with tens of thousands of or hinge i began fleeing there to escape the violence in iraq and states. again could not gain access but british members of her film crew were allowed to travel. they would broadly follow the same routes as they were hanged across the nafs river which separates the two countries

a hazardous journey for the or henge on foot but i'm going to let you know about i voted for her story and. it's now estimated that around seven hundred thousand two hundred john have fled to bangladesh since august twenty seventh team. this prompted them to set up security posts and checkpoints along the border with me and mar. once inside the country the crew had to pass through further bangladesh. checkpoints where they posed as tourists and used hidden cameras.

which if. any of the them there was the so many ducks or. even there was the military intelligence maybe this innocent. who is the day to live the useful is a muslim. it is the better difficult. but when trying most of. them you can see the bismark. soul food. there were a hand job by the side of the roads.

in order to continue filming the crew took a side road to avoid attracting the attention of the bangladeshi police. they came upon one of the many unofficial hinge refugee camps in bangladesh to.

these refugees were living in the most primitive conditions in locations rarely seen by the international media. even by the standards of makeshift refugee camps this was a miserable existence. the crew spoke to a group of ranger women who had recently arrived from mandal. but i sure do most of that event was a very wise and. question i wonder why some of them are my cousins and it is very. odd i know those are the harness of the cut up on a hollow pacific with a heart of god in mind you were done once about if you're not on the side you were to. get out of the big good i wonder began this i read minds about an idea and i need you to. sadler's it even now now we're in a zen master knowing you're no good. look at the heart of the.

room. if you're going to gain it about a month with a man i know i did my job. for my mom as you have more. visitors for months. i actually did have also been. in prepared to. work on a cold hearted thought i had it a mindset hossam wanted that game. at a time to get on one show our. neighborhood a day. there and joe women all tell similar stories of their treatment to me and mark. what i did and they did it i had. and plus an awful lot of. fire that i'm not a done not done it behind you would imagine i have got out of that i didn't them a lot of are about to dig out of the got that are there are a mob i can out of their studio hamas and. decided. to sell to will do them all by

a little bit more. about them without the need for grab that i want you to not a little boy you will. blow me. i'm going to take it you know i thought of who they give it you hear. from so what i did one hundred years old i did a monastery to do that so i gave out adoption above i'm old and. cut it out of one hundred but. no matter the. time i thought i had to be done and i've got to and got to get into a bit of an anomaly about an anomaly now i had into the heart of me i'm one. of

another and i love my family and i love life would be nicer this will never there's you know. i thought i was on the. news. or in the. manner. that really wasn't a good. club is on that of a good deal in the don't believe what they. think i will do not but i gotta time time it out i begin be done by good bye done and does another nice have about a knot on it and i thought i'd get it out. again today and i thought i would manage it all about what i'm going to buy just that i have been out of there you are wrong . your mom wasn't up on the not yet and worry about the down. to the the mother to make it would lead to the nitty they get in and that would take them by the court a lot out of her going to work out what i mean just. to let out that was hard enough the child doesn't get that worry about the little pin they learn by all the

wood as she will and by that the wood at that bash it or that it would been that he would not but i should have been on our own i guess at that year. after fleeing this terrible abuse these women refugees were living in appalling conditions although some camps have since been improved by aid agencies and the generous help of the bangladeshi government like this one. however the rains have already arrived in bangladesh and even this site and its occupants will be at serious risk of the rainfall is heavy and deets to flooding. since and i'm handout these reports in february twenty seventh hundreds of thousands more will hinge on have sought refuge in bangladesh in fact it's now estimated that there are as many growing jane bangladesh as there are remaining in

me and mari. meanwhile human rights organizations the un and the media have struggled to gain access to rock kind state to gather first hand evidence of the alleged human rights violations. in september twenty seventeen the un high commissioner for human rights . are saying and spoke out because myanmar has refused access to human rights investigators the current situation cannot be covered yet sorry cannot yet be fully asserts but the situation remains or seems a textbook textbook example of f. . closer. than in june twenty eighth amnesty international published the results of interviewing over four hundred people in bangladesh and within raw kind states. they revealed the plans in

systematic military campaign with satellite evidence of attacks on villages in which only the ranger homes where satellites villages were surrounded by the myanmar military soldiers swept through they opened fire on men women and children as they were running away and they systematically burned down that which is and what this shows is that this was not the work of rogue soldiers or units involved units across a large area that this was a pattern carried out and therefore suggest that it was a pattern carried out pursuant to a common plan. amnesty also joined the international voices calling for those responsible to be sent to the international criminal court. was it was unleashed during twenty seven days clearance operations recent incident in bahrain is a oh and every time and made absolutely no mistake the pricing is you know we actually about right now. for stuff nation in the land mines and targeted

large scale in the us enough runs us so serious and they should be worth it internationally such a referral is not guaranteed as the i.c.c. has no jurisdiction in me in march and china would almost certainly veto any such intervention in the un security council. the main mark government continues to deny any human rights violations meanwhile it's not clear firstly what can be done to enable the range and bangladesh to return safely to me in march. and second to enable the international community to call the me and maher government and its security forces to account. for their treatment of what the un has called the world's most persecuted people. play.

some journeys are tougher than others. but this road trip is even tougher than the closure of the truck there it's dangerous there's al-jazeera the world follows the moroccan truck drivers in danger in their lives. just to make a living if you crash that might break your liver or even kill you because authorities known food. from a good idea is to go on al-jazeera. every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories of the boys were trying to outrun the boy told through

the eyes of the world's journalists the images matter a lot of international politics join the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most the big fear is someone from the country who guides you who leads you to this story you the bar line tells us who wrote the listening post on al-jazeera. from flowing in and winds to an enchanting desert breeze. hello there is finally settled for most of us in south america at the moment we do have a little bit of cloud in the fall south but that's not really doing a great deal and should be following for us in what as always the temperatures around about average the temperatures in ascension though will be rising as we head through sunday and into monday by monday that we up to twenty nine degrees is a quite a long way north you have to go in order to find the wet weather that we have few showers over the northern parts of peru those stretching up into the northern parts

of brazil and through colombia venezuela further north you can see quite a few showers at the moment so over parts of cuba through jamaica and hispania there also affecting us in the bahamas as well and this region looks fairly unsettled as we head through the next few days so don't be surprised to see the old shower here in between the showers though there should be a good deal of sunshine so some bright weather as well for the west it looks like the wet weather will be banding together to give some more persistent rain so for some of us in panama and up through nicaragua it could be fairly so throughout the day further north of course it's been dry and hot for many. vers in the western parts of north america over the past few days but we are seeing more wet weather now including this patch of rain that's over parts of california not a great deal more rain expected over the next few days here instead the wetter weather stretches up towards the northeast some heavy downpours here. the weather sponsored by qatar raise. the.

al-jazeera. and for us. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the. you from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes after twenty two years of talks an agreement has been signed which could settle the territorial dispute over the caspian sea. six years after a military coup the people of mali vote in

a runoff election to pick their new president. difficult labor sanctions on iran complicating like next door in iraq. and i'm with the day's sport and tiger woods is looking strong in his quest for a major title in ten years i have the latest from the p.g.a. championship later on in the program. welcome to the program after more than two decades of talks an agreement has been signed which will settle the territorial dispute over the caspian sea well the leaders of russia kazakhstan iran turkmenistan and azerbaijan which border the caspian have met in the port city of tire well they've signed a convention on the legal status. the sea but so far we're yet to hear exactly how bad the work it's all about how much of the caspian each country can claim as there is what russian president vladimir putin said an agreement was crucial to regional

security and beyond. bizarre person is to un security is very important and this is what underpins our agreements in this region has an influence on afghanistan on the middle east so this really affects the basic interests states and we need to pull together to combat the threat of terrorism and trans boundary criminality and iran's president said support from the caspian sea countries for the iran nuclear deal was a good sign for an agreement on sharing the area's natural resources here for example as about a drum borne vonage the five countries efforts to support the iran nuclear deal is a good step towards expanding regional cooperation and the betterment of relations between us the natural resources of the caspian sea belong to the five countries bordering it so to prevent any dispute in the areas we have not negotiated we must avoid any unilateral exploration of the natural resources in this area while the caspian sea is landlocked which raises the question whether it is indeed a sea or

a lake five countries share its coastline that's russia iran kazakstan azerbaijan and turkmenistan and that led to the dispute over which country lays claim over the caspian and how much well if an agreement was reached to illegally designate the caspian lake it would see it divided up equally between the five nations with twenty percent each if it remains a see the territory be split between both countries according to how much coastline they share iran with therefore receive the smallest claim and that's been the major sticking point in talks because the caspian lies above one of the world's largest collections of oil and gas and that's some forty eight billion barrels of oil alone . now u.s. president donald trump's decision to reimpose sanctions on iran is expected to have an impact on its neighbor iraq it shares a fifteen hundred kilometer border with iran goods and people cross it daily

reports from the border district of pender and in iraq. each day trucks slowly wind around treacherous roads in the zagg gross mountains carrying goods from iran to iraq says the u.s. announced it was reimposing sanctions against iran rumors and uncertainty are also traveling back and forth across the border iranian bus driver rahman a bella is worried soon the border will close and his job of six years will disappear. as a bit was going to give me an edge when he chats really i don't know because you can expect anything here the politicians haven't made any agreements if they make an agreement it should be for the sake of the poor people iran is iraq's second largest trading partner it exports fruits and vegetables fuel and home furnishings and for about a decade it is also provided electricity here in a district and other iraqi border towns the iraq central bank has prohibited all

iraqi banks from conducting business with iran in u.s. dollars. three think the situation will get worse by the day the iranian currency is dropping against the dollar it's halting business between iran and the kurdish region. people are already coping with an economic crisis in iraq shoe store owner robin raman says iranian shoes offer the right blend of quality and affordability for his cash strapped customers but. especially in the last few years we're buying a lot of shoes from iran a good quality but now the situation's different last week i was there and because of the fluctuation in the iranian currency against the dollar most of the factory cease production so buying shoes in iran was difficult. for as long as the almost fifteen hundred kilometer border has been recognized smugglers have crisscrossed

between iraq and iran. it's uncontrollable because there are social historical and perhaps religious relationships between the two countries in the end these relations trade will continue. but merchants are wondering how to conduct business in such an unpredictable climate with no guidance coming from their government yet and no idea what will happen next in iran natasha game in penge when district on the iraq iran border people in mali are voting in a runoff presidential election president abraham won the first round with forty one percent of the vote but opposition candidates cusins him through and. the first round vote was marred by violence as mali struggles against armed groups. mama deval reports in the capital bamako. that is also the first round two weeks ago gave forty one percent of the vote while his main rival got close to eighteen

percent was accused of fraud by opposition leaders but really i mean you know to get a low result in the election isn't good heart breaking but you cannot accuse president being behind that figure it's the decision of the million people which reflects their judgment of you. meanwhile was repeating the claims. once again i am asking for your vote so that together we can achieve the dream and the destiny that i have for mali i don't need to remind you of the grave in multiple illegalities of the first round which amount to political banditry they were a criminal breach of the law and of human dignity one day the reality will be clear to all and it will shame those who have dirty their hands with fraud and corruption . seceded borst of what he described as a major success in the first round he's the first opposition candidate in the

democratic history of mali to take a sitting president to on off but his hopes of a united front by the other opposition parties have been partly dashed by that if you use a lot of many first round losing candidates to endorse him the government has also closed down a local radio station that supports sisi accusing it of inciting violence and hate speach. she says supporters organize a rally on saturday to protest the alleged electoral violations and to warn against a repeat violence was reported in at least fifty of the twenty three thousand polling stations on july twenty ninth no vote took place at all in three percent of those centers and four soldiers were killed in an ambush as their convoy carrying election material since then ethnic violence has worsened in the central region of mukti as dozens of learning herdsman have been killed by rival guns or hunters the e.u. has expressed concern over security and urge the government to govern

a free and fair enough for the leaders the focus now is on the vote but for millions there is a desire to see that democracy does not fall victim to power struggles or let's go back to that top story of ours that after twenty two years of talks an agreement has been signed which could settle a dispute over the caspian sea or a challenge as i'm following that story in moscow for us rory we know that the leaders have signed a deal but what exactly are they signed up to. well the agreement we understand has been signed has obviously lots of detail to it which we're still waiting to find out but the broad bones of it are pretty simple essentially the dispute for twenty two years has centered on whether the caspian is a lake or whether it's a sea and each definite definition has basically different ramifications in terms of how the sea or lake is split up if it's

a lake then it has to be divided equally twenty percent for each of the members if it's a c. then each of the shoreline countries gets a share proportionate to its own length of shoreline now the fudge i think that has been agreed in fact is that it's not quite one and not quite the other and therefore some rules applied to the surface of the body of water and how the rules are going to apply to the the floor basically so on the surface this is going to be an open access to all the five countries on the sea floor though it's basically. open for future negotiations and that's what the iranians were saying earlier on they were saying that this needs to be discussed further yes there has been a significant hurdle that's been achieved in getting this agreement but the exact share of each country needs to be worked out and that's relevant because there is

a huge amounts of oil and gas and other interests of course that the countries have in this particular body of water security is one of them and while you may have putin made reference of that in the i think that's the clip that we heard earlier one of the key decisions that's been reached in x. out is to say that no foreign country no country that does not have a shoreline on the caspian sea is allowed to have a military presence there. so that means the united states. europeans china none of those powers can have any military or representation on the caspian only countries that actually have a sure line there or it's not really challenge in moscow rory thank you let's go back now to those presidential elections in mali mohammed valid joins us live now from the capital bamako so a second round of voting after what was an initial violent first round how the authorities tighten up security now. yes daryn they are tightening security
