way in small numbers but under colonialism in the british empire became to burma in large numbers of course that created problems. one of the remarkable things about the want to period was that. controlled by the authorities was very strict and very strong so we had very little religious disturbances of course it was sort of pushed underground. but with the return of democracy and. a greater openness and of course at the same time manipulation it came out reemerge on a much bigger scale. in politics there are two emotions which are very strong one is greed and the others fear. because we're under

the military dictatorship fifty one years. and then we have a civil war that's been raging between the central military and the ethnic on the organization's. saw it's like. an ending continuous fear even educated people in your mass either or you see the insurers they breed like cockroaches or insects and very soon your hind state will be full of was going religious and that was the buddhist will be swallowed so it's like we are defending our country our society and our religion so it's very important it's a very strong message but over the wrong and it's quite frightening you know and that is the real danger of these extremist monks.

i want to see. peace have an equal right. i want this is slightly. what has happened in iraq hein what has happened to the range has been. really kind of an abysmal drop. the weight of a covenant and the ministry of the security forces handle things only made things worse. so that's one of the biggest stains upon the new government and on the country as a whole. and i really believe that things where either handled very badly all there are. i think. unscrupulous you know elements who are going to be

late in the situation from behinds. countries who are transiting you know from an authoritarian system or doable open them really system face a lot of problems the politicians have to be prepared for that but if i was not. involved politics is dominated by just two parties one is the military's body that used to be and one is the nationally for democracy. we thought that things had changed just by having a democratic government you know and the party of city coming to power so again we were also disappointed in that regard. during her decades of struggle and house arrest she was a nationally known democracy ike on heroin recipient of it rises she

the horrific events in christ church and its connection to it brenton tarrant spent at least the first twenty years of his life in grafton before travelling around the world he went to the local school and worked as a personal trainer in a gym his alleged attack on two mosques in christ church last week has deeply disturbed religious leaders in his home town we've got inside to you now for us and you know they will we all sectarian you know how all of the people are going to leave the members of the muslim community in christ church the mood here is somber this is a community grappling to come to terms with one of their own baying a suspect in the worst mass killing in new zealand's history it's just a time for the community to gather and just kind of be together get strength from solidarity and hopefully put our roots down deep and sign are we not that's that's

not us what happened and what this guy did is not is not crofton's parishioners who know the tyrant family say it's well respected and has been here for generations god like one pipe and farmer was good down bourke bible. what did you think when you heard that someone from grafton was involved. i was shocked. others had a message for christ's church people grafton just reach out and say you know we we don't know what went wrong but obviously that will come in but you know we just some of their prayers are with here and and hope that you can get some sort of closure while the town family has deep roots here community members say it's keeping a low profile following the attack in christchurch we've managed to speak with people who knew brenton tarrant well they say they don't want to appear on camera because they don't want to be associated with the alleged killer of fifty people

they say the man accused of the christ church attacks is not the man they once knew . al-jazeera grafton. the acting white house chief of staff has defended the u.s. president for not denouncing the white supremacists following the attack in new zealand make veiny says don't trump has done what a president is supposed to do by reaching out to new zealand's prime minister and offering condolences trump has been criticized for not explicitly condemning the attacker who hailed the president as a symbol of renewed white identity in his manifesto instead of worrying about well . who's to blame how do we stop from doing this donald trump is no more to blame for what happened in new zealand than than mark zuckerberg is because he invented facebook there are some terrible people in the world we need to work with our partners of which new zealand is one of them to try and figure a way to find them expose them and bring them to justice the philippines has officially withdrawn from the international criminal court it began the process to

leave last year after the hague based court and watched an initial examination into president rodrigo to test his war on drugs thousands of suspected drug users and deal is have been killed since a crackdown started in twenty sixteen. one of the points of being a member of the international criminal court when when you agree to sign up. to its jurisdiction if you withdraw that with a girl is suspended for a period of twelve months afterwards that is in effect to prevent situations just like this where where a state is accused of war crimes crimes and they withdraw to shield themselves from prosecution though the whole point is that you cannot be permitted to do that so the i.c.c. will continue and will have jurisdiction over prosecuting the president and the senior officials that they consider to be responsible clearly there are a lot within the philippines that want to ensure that the regime is how to count

all you know when one looks at the other geishas that have been made that they are stark. in terms of the number of killings the brutality of the killings and the president hasn't sought to distance himself from them quite the contrary is has taken full credit for it so the evidence against him is overwhelming and of course he should stand trial and this step will not change that and hopefully the supremum court will take a strong stance to uphold the rule of law and ensure that he's held accountable. a funeral service has been held for some of the victims of last week's if you can add on's plane crash empty caskets were carried through the streets of dallas of about relatives of the one hundred fifty seven people killed have been given bags of earth from the crash site instead of remains because the d.n.a. identification process could take up to six months ramadan no reports from me here from capitol. grieving families of some of the one hundred fifty seven victims of

ethiopian airlines flight three hundred to. mourn the loss of their loved ones. arriving at this field where remnants of the ally and allies true not around brings it all home for them. airline officials say they haven't found even a single body intact just body parts which would make that id process took a while when is it an. ethiopian airlines didn't give us anything they told us to wait until thursday we waited and thursday came they are now saying they couldn't find anything i wish they told us that they found nothing in the first place this is major grief heavy we came empty handed and we're going back empty handed. the boeing seven thirty seven max eight and i went down at eight forty four am on sunday shortly after takeoff from the capital addis ababa and drew tonight will be in neighboring kenya pozen just from more than thought to countries were on board

this is the time of crisis in ethiopia the airline is a symbol of muscle pride and if europeans have thrown their full support behind it to paralyze small talk from since i was a small boy was brave enough to cut together and. that's why they have been doing for seventy five years. and evidence that the cross has done little to scare people away from the line can be seen of the capitol smushed rooming hotels they're teeming with passengers in transit that's a didn't happen here it's like any other thing that happens with on our roads you know s.p.c.s. not just enough to cut a globally we have those records of us interacting so as a layer of travel and i use that if you've been in l.a. that has not affected my view or perspective. european airlines has expanded its fleet to one hundred eleven planes it now flies to one hundred six international

and twenty three domestic distillations beyond its almost professionals the airline also owns all forty nine percent stake in malawi lines and forty five percent stake in zambia airways ethiopian is doing is arbitrary corporate governance that basically coming in to a failed business which is not failed because there was not demand there's demand that passengers want to fly out of these countries so you've got the demand they're willing to pay but the issue has been the mismanagement of those airlines in countries to actually it's buying up cheap assets with strong demand and making it work i think it's a great strategy. at the crash site to walk us continue the search for debris and remain so for those who perished in the crush these two windswept filled one continued to be an international crime scene for a long time to come how it all jazeera. gunmen have attacked an army base in mali killing at least twenty four soldiers vehicles were

common front for congo coalition took more than two thirds of the seats in the senate or upper chamber and it already holds a majority in the lower chamber now many are questioning the president's ability to govern independently on the streets it's feared there could be more violence. and supporters of the president claim they did not have enough senators but it's not our issue they shouldn't come and carry out these acts of vandalism in our neighborhood. but. despite the setbacks to she can he says he will continue to push his agenda forward in addition to the prisoners pardon he has pledged to bring back political opponents who fled the republican can bill it was president this even though kabila still has considerable influence in the country cuts e.l.o. first so the young al-jazeera. venezuela's opposition leader has begun a national tour and

a new effort to oust president nicolas maduro on gordo kicked off what's being called operation freedom in the northern city of violence here is a power struggle with maduro who accuses the u.s. of masterminding a plot to overthrow him so far the united states has focused mainly on sanctions to increase the pressure on my dura at the risible reports from caracas that's made an already dire economic situation even worse. i feel philly is in desperate need of medicines he suffers from diabetes and needs dialysis three times a week but the power outages of the past few days have been difficult for people like him. because of the blackout i couldn't do my dialysis my felt dizzy and weak i don't know what is going to happen in this country. and sometimes i feel there is no way out i flew the leaves with his wife so it either in our poor neighborhood in caracas the situation is extremely difficult for people in venezuela that need

medicines alfredo was told that he needs to take all of the medicines and he was not able to find them he was also given this other one at the hospital last week and it is expired people here fear that with sanctions the situation will get even worse. venezuela's cash strapped government is struggling with an economic crisis that has forced the country to reduce imports this combined with hyperinflation is making it difficult for people to buy or even find medicines hospitals are struggling to find basic items to help those in need. the venezuelan government says the united states is to blame for the current situation but i am told i have done everything to try to import medicines and other items are money is being blocked because of the u.s. treasury one them to release our farms so we can provide our people with the most economists say u.s. sanctions were implemented four years ago when the damage to the economy was

already done. well first sanctions that prevented venezuela from negotiating its step came after venezuela already had one of the highest risks in the world the risk was because of the drop in oil prices and the government continued with the same policies continued spending when it already had billions of dollars and. but in january this year the u.s. and. new sanctions with the objective to choke venezuela's economy even more. this time they have had a direct impact on venezuelan oil exports. the u.s. financial system has tentacles around the world so any commercial operation that has anything to do with venezuela will be affected any transaction that is in u.s. dollars will be affected way you know the real sanctions begin. the u.s. the european union and other countries in the region recognize opposition leader

one way those as venice who are less interim president. the u.s. has said it wants to force model out of office and hope the new sanctions will help speed up the process is. the united states is betting on a total collapse of the country and it has been disappointing there's been applied in cuba and iran and north korea yes the government got weaker they have complications but the government didn't change. many soil as economy with certainly deteriorate even further as the u.s. sanctions started to impact of your oil sector later this year but it will be people like alfredo félix who are surely suffer the most hideous i will. ask for decades albania was ruled by one of the world's most repressive and isolated communist regimes hundreds of thousands of people were sent to forced labor camps or executed for crimes against the state government recently gave these former political prisoners access to the secret police files that will find out what

happened but some people believe the government hasn't done enough to make up for the violence and repression transfer a process has more from one of the commonest areas most notorious prisons north of the capital tirana. i groan harjo was nineteen when he tried to escape from communist albania he was caught and sentenced to twenty two years of hard labor drilling blast holes in the copper mines of spuds this is where he slept for thirteen of those years on the top bunk against this wall next to forty nine other men while here lost his father his youth and his dream of a life in the united states the government recently released the file the communist party kept on him and he found the name of the man who betrayed his escape plan. i thought then what am i to do kill him whoever has done wrong must not all judged by our people were beaten some could take it and some couldn't or some time someone

was condemned to death they would keep him for forty five days with his head covered and his hands tied then someone would come from the central committee and say the party had spared your life but you must work. albania was one of the most isolated and repressive communist regimes people weren't even allowed to talk to foreigners they were fed a propaganda diet suggesting that there's was an exemplary society and who executed thousands ruled them with an iron fist people could end up with for listening to western music or being overheard saying they didn't like albania or complaining that they hadn't enough to eat during half a century an estimated one hundred thousand people served time in forced labor camps including women and children that one in eighteen albanians thousands died in such places in the three decades since the fall of communism there has been no inquiry and no justice for the denounces and persecutors of these political

prisoners. that says agro on is because the same people have remained in politics that could be why this history of political persecution isn't taught in albanian schools your neela god dollar runs an awareness program for young people because she believes the failure of the political system to account for its past mistakes still haunts it the company's rulers they could do whatever they wanted with the people nobody cared about them and this is still going on still now we see that we just girl and we we support very old tory tarion leaders at the end who don't take responsibilities for mistakes they do all the government gave a gram sixty five thousand dollars as compensation for the fifteen years of hard labor he did he spent it sending his three daughters to study economics in germany and the u.k. and to stay there enjoying the freedom he never could jumps at all plus al-jazeera

done before those people are buried. and will meet with her cabinet later on monday to talk about reform of these eden's gun rules that she has been explicit from friday morning which is that the gun laws in the will change they will get stricter at the moment it's relatively easy for anyone in new zealand to get a gun license as long as they have two people who will vouch for them say that they are of good character anyone can get a gun license someone to get a gun license you can buy as many guns as you like including if you're willing to register them semiautomatic weapons to sideroad and so she wants that to change and change soon on a monday cabinet will come up with specific proposals of how that could be done. a suspect charged with the shootings is from australia and his hometown of grafton some of benton tyrants family members have spoken of the shock and disbelief where oh we don't know what to think eight.

bring the venue says donald trump has done what a president is supposed to do by reaching out to new zealand's prime minister and offering condolences trump has been criticized for not explicitly condemning the attack and who hailed the president as a symbol of renewed white identity in his manifesto mike hanna is live for us in washington d.c. mike how much criticism has donald trump been facing. well there's been a great deal of criticism a multiple statements made by president trump first of all saying that white nationalism is not on the rise in response to a question secondly during that news conference in which he expressed commiseration to the people of new zealand shortly afterward speaking about his own immigration policy he used the word invasion repeatedly unconsciously echoing the words purportedly written by one of the killers who also spoke about invasion now these elements have led to massive criticism from the democrat side president trump's
