some teachers are having to work extra shifts just to ensure everyone gets to class the same holder reports on because valley. the school year starts in the next few days but according to the united nations up to three hundred thousand syrian children of school age will not be attending classes that has been the number of syrian refugee children who haven't been given an education among them these children they live in this camp in the big car valley many of them are born in lebanon all they know is a life in exile the life of a refugee the united nations says it is doing its best to enroll the highest number of syrian refugee children as possible but it hasn't been easy the lebanese government for example is under a lot of strain its resources its infrastructure has been strained as a result of the influx of over a million syrian refugees into the country but three hundred thousand children do attend classes over three hundred fifty lebanese public schools operate double

shifts shifts in the afternoon to accommodate these children but of course there aren't enough spaces to accommodate the remaining three hundred thousand syrian children of school age and it's not just that syrian refugee families have little choice but to send their children to work to be able to provide for the family so there's also a question of child labor they cannot afford to send their children to school and instead their children work and there's also the issue of transportation many parents here will tell you that we can't afford to pay for transportation to send our children to school even if there are places in school so a very very dire situation for syria's children just gonna riley is with save the children explain the importance of educating young refugees. these refugee children will spend their entire careers in their country of refuge i am so they need to be

provided with an education and of course in the event i go back to their own countries which they need to fill holes knowledge amen and educated population in the event that we don't do that mix a great big problem in one of the challenges in her country which of us it often already heard all and struggling to provide public with their own population to be a group silence an occasion. and this can cause great problems education is the whole cause in the going on the front of humanitarian it's really really needs to reach a final and end gaps that exist in the education system not just about it's about encouraging countries which was the refugee all of these and then to improve their education. the opportunity of the international community's fifteen chances on the diversity for refugee hosting which is not just the reform so the six hundred twenty refugee and now a global one and use the machine is going to win hearts and improve education of

the country where these refugees which i think is open already frightened from going this is not the choosing isn't it tim and we'll look at how we can create be a great problem but i use the method she has really improved educational and learning off from both the refugee will so the host community is un schools for a palestinian refugees have reopened despite huge cuts in usa half a million students resume classes in gaza and occupied west but the embassy responsible for palestinian refugees says it only has enough money to run until september the u.s. has already stopped two hundred million dollars and there are reports that will end all financial assistance harry fossett has more from less reform. well a is making good this wednesday on its pledge announced last week that it would open its schools in the occupied palestinian territories and in its other three areas of operation on time despite the huge financial pressure that it's been under this

year after the united states decided to withdraw three hundred of the three hundred sixty five million dollars that it was to provided to the agency this is come in the light of a great deal of political pressure that's been applied to iraq and to the palestinians under the administration of donald trump and there's been reporting in the israeli press in recent days and israeli media that the united states intends to go further by restricting the definition of palestine refugees to only those who came out of what was then how a stein in one thousand nine hundred eight before the creation of the state of israel so restricting the number from more than five million to five hundred thousand and indeed permanently cutting off all u.s. funding for the agency the agency's head was at one of the schools reopening today in the occupied west bank he said that the un run mandate was not for sale the palestinian leadership have actually rejected this position which is being reported

and has yet to be foot formally confirmed by the united states it is something that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has long argued for both the restriction of the definition of palestine refugees and also the disbandment of entirely although there are those in the israeli security establishment former military officers and the like who have been telling the israeli media that they are concerned about restricting or preventing iran from operating because of the security implications that could have don't forget it provides education to some five hundred thousand palestinian children it provides food aid to many of the more than one million refugees inside gaza so there is no much by no means a total acceptance of this plan in these red. establishment well that is something that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has long argued for the same our government as calling them false allegations but international pressure is growing

from the in mara's military leaders to be prosecuted for the genocide of a hench of muslims at least ten thousand people were killed and around three quarters of a million fled the army offensive which began a year ago the secretary general said they had suffered horrendous persecution as a security council debate in mass killing and gang rapes detail by investigators mike hanna has more of him united nations headquarters in new york this meeting was settled before the release of the un report but it was the subject of discussion of many of the speakers in particular as the report held that the military leaders responsible for atrocities in wreck and state acted it said with genocidal intent the secretary general did not give any specific direction to the security council as to how it should proceed however you did say that the report must form the basis of its negotiations i believe these reports findings and recommendations these are

of serious consideration by all relevant united nations board use effective international cooperation will be critical to ensure that they come to believe the mechanisms of credible transparent impartial independent and comply with myanmar's obligations and that international law. but the british ambassador indicated that no immediate action is imminent she said it's likely that the report must first go to formal debate within the human rights council which commissioned the report in the first place before the security council takes a decision this is a report by the fact finding mission it will go in september for formal debate in the human rights council and then we hope we will debate it or deal with it in some suitable way in the security council but many members of the security council insistent that action must be taken sooner rather than later strong words from the us ambassador we are now all armed with the devastating eyewitness accounts of the

rohingya which lead us to the following conclusions children they bees women and men suffered unspeakable crimes the attacks were planned premeditated and coordinated the perpetrator was the burma's military and security forces. the whole world is watching what we will do next and if we will at the one point of agreement that the security council must act in a united magna part of the issue the problem of china it is perceived as being against immediate action based on the un report earlier the chinese foreign ministry issued a statement saying that myanmar does not cope well with pressure. we have some breaking news out of me and mark to tell you about more than fifty thousand people are being evacuated from their homes after

a dam breach at least one hundred villages have flooded along with the country's biggest highway so this isn't central to me and maher and the fogger region government says they swara truong dam spillways structure probe because of heavy monsoon rains so far there are no reports of any casualties and army chief says the still they cannot be controlled and the water will not stop hence fifty thousand evacuations. colombia and peru have agreed to set up a joint database of venezuelan migrants both countries are struggling to manage the rapidly growing number of venezuelans crossing their borders they're fleeing a political and economic crisis at home according to the u.n. more than two million people have fled venezuela since two thousand and fourteen and as well as moving ahead with plans to raise the price of petrol hyperinflation forecast at one million percent by the end of this year the government is just for to find ways to increase revenue and stop a billion dollar market in oil contraband. miniport some caracas.

in an oil rich country like venezuela it's one thing to subsidize quite another is to give it away we're going to. it's a gift without pay is not even enough. thanks to hyperinflation today you can theoretically buy one million liters of petrol quickly into one us dollar and imagine this if you can a one thousand notes which is worth point zero zero one of a cent which is why the government took them out of circulation last week except here at petrol stations and there's incredible as it may seem i can still use it here to buy a hundred and sixty six liters of the highest octane. digital at the venezuela colombia border where small and large scale smugglers operate in broad daylight the price distortion feeds a lucrative black market with big.
