1:19 pm
the one that didn't have any 1st. or 1st rate or. second tier information from what i understand you have to figure that out for yourself. but i've spoken with leader kevin mccarthy and the republicans many of them. and we were going to do this anyway but i've informed them. all of the house members that i fully support transparency on the so-called whistleblower information iran's president says there won't be any negotiations on its nuclear program as long as u.s. sanctions stay in place as an rouhani accuse the us of economic terrorism in his address to the un general assembly. britain's prime minister's challenging opposition parties to call a motion of no confidence in him that could lead to a general election boris johnson has been facing repeated calls to resign after the
1:20 pm
supreme court said his decision to suspend parliament was illegal. israel's president has asked benjamin netanyahu to try and form a new government the prime minister still has no clear path to a 5th term after emerging from the september 17th ballot without a majority of house members of told a special session of the palestinian legislative council to stand with hunger striking prisoners dozens of palestinians in israeli jails are on their 16th consecutive day of an open ended strike they're protesting against mobile phone jammers and prisons they say cause cancer. fighting has broken out between supporters of malawi's government and opposition groups in the financial capital blantyre hundreds of people were calling for the head of the electoral commission to resign when the situation turned violent they've been protesting against the reelection of the president peter murtha reka in may. well those were the headlines
1:21 pm
the news continues here on al-jazeera after the screen stage and thanks for watching. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it al-jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to al-jazeera. conditions for rango refugees continue to the terror right they face an untenable feature in overcrowded bangladesh but it's still too unsafe to go home to me and all. and i'm only going to end the year in this string joined us in our live you tube chat on twitter. i have covered. i have covered violence throughout my career but i've never heard of anything like that happening to human beings. and.
1:22 pm
the time i arrived to the camps it was unlike anything i have experienced before it was pain and misery and trauma in a school so large that it was almost unfathomable even for somebody who was seeing it right in front of their eyes it's a place that isn't equipped to deal doesn't have the infrastructure it doesn't have the sanitation it doesn't have you know the sort of facilities at that amount of people. just a glimpse of what life is like for the 1200000 wrecking refugees coming in living in bangladesh this small things became even worse many migrants lost their only lifeline to the world where the government brought mobile phone access in the camps the move was apparently for security reasons but the waiting the worry it's just another sign that they've outworn their welcome overwhelmed by the refugee crisis
1:23 pm
bangladesh has tried and failed to send the wrong that back to me and mark twice in the past year but refugees have refused fearing renewed violence at home just last week the united nations warns that genocidal conditions unquote still remain in myanmar and it's urged the government to do more to improve conditions. lacking international pressure the mostly but his country of mia mom has done little to welcome the muslim rain go home meanwhile bangladesh is planning to relocate some refugees to remote flood prone island in the next few months and officials have made it quite clear that they can't play host much longer so what will happen to the remainder people well joining us to discuss is mohammed senior correspondent for al-jazeera english he speaks to us from doha qatar we also have a need to show head of women and children's affairs for the european council and he joins us from the brook in germany and finally roman a son when they sign is the coordinator of the campaign
1:24 pm
a media relations at the coalition and he's come in frankfurt germany we also invited several fishel from bangladesh and miramar to join the program but none of them were available guess it is good to have you thank you for your time i want to start here with a comment from bangladesh's foreign minister he says we are willing to send them anywhere to anyone who wants to take them we cannot afford to keep them for years then being the mohammed you were reporting at the end of 2018 from cox's bazaar where so many of the remainder are actually there in refugee camps does this indicate a sense that bangladesh is it is also it is tired it has no more time for handling the rehang or crisis and the refugee situation. it certainly does femi and you know we're starting to hear more of this type of rhetoric from bangladesh officials look bangladesh it's a difficult situation for them because the country is really polarized when it
1:25 pm
comes to this issue and there are many people in bangladesh that will ardently support their anger and the country has been quite generous already to refugees but there are also many in the country that do not support refugees and would like to see them gone so the fact that this rhetoric has been ratcheting up that we it's been reported at least in bangladeshi media the last month or so that they're actually beneficial that have said that if their anger don't want to leave that they're going to actively make conditions more difficult for them in the camps which is hard to imagine because you know i've been to those camps 4 separate times and the conditions are appalling i mean they're much improved to where they were a few years as ago but they're still terrible conditions so when you hear that it certainly looks like the bangladeshis are now really sort of running out of patience with the situation and trying to figure out what to do about it the problem for them is that every time they go down the route of these 3 patriae sion schemes they have to involve the u.n.h.c.r. the refugee agency so when there are bangladesh's government agrees with me in
1:26 pm
march government that there is going to be repatriation of bringing back to me and more well the u.n.h.c.r. the refugee agency has to then go and interview the people that are on that but really be repatriated and every time the un has done that everybody that they've spoken with has said they do not want to go back and can you blame them the u.n. has repeatedly said that conditions are still not safe on the ground in myanmar for any kind of or turned that range will not be guaranteed any state is shipwrights or freedom of movement and just last week as you mentioned a few moments ago a u.n. fact finding mission independent investigator said that $600000.00 remained in me and are still living under the threat of genocide so it's a very difficult situation for bangladesh it's a very very difficult situation for the refugees and human. it appears that the bangladeshi government is running out of patience i think that that is something our audience would completely agree with so we posited this to them this headline that bangladesh's prime minister has proposed relocating thousands of refugees to
1:27 pm
a remote island in the bay of bengal here's what gordon had to say about bad a member of our community sounds like she is trying to get rid of them the she being shaped has seen or why not integrate them into society and need i'll give this one to you the idea of trying to get rid of them is that how you see this is this trying to make conditions so harsh for refugees that they want to leave. 1st of all i would like to mention to the public. we are very grateful all the ring of people are grateful for saving our lives but the conditions what we are facing in the camps are also not worthy as dignified life we want to return home but you have to help. relocating us from one camp to bush and charlotte is not part of the durable solution pushing us back to was. to do a hand to the very hands of the perpetrators who committed genocide against our
1:28 pm
community is not part of the durable solution backed by the international community what it has to do it cannot just simply carry on seeing dignified voluntary and safe return for the one yes it has to act upon it has to pressure the government of myanmar to create such conditions all still but under this government cannot simply restrict our movements take over our own lifetimes like the mobile phones but instead of that it has no roof or medium our to do international criminal court or bring the corporate rate of genocide to i.c.c. this is what this government can do that is part of the durable solution fight for our rights that we get our rights back in your mar as well as those we are at any time ready to return and i am here i want to show our audience what i need to means by this idea of drop paying some of the refugees off at another location have
1:29 pm
a look here on my laptop i know you really know this but for the benefit of our viewers this is cut to space are 1200000 refugees are this is bus and charter and need to mentioned and i'm a leak or so put up this tiny little island here the idea is that the refugees are relocated i understand they're not going to be forced to move there but this is what the accommodation will look like when they get there and the options are because there is a lake that they can fish but that's about it in a sand when you heard about that as a plan as a way to address the situation in cox's bazaar what do you make of that it's happening. then but by the foreign minister had a interview it only german media recently he said do you know they are going to fold $100.00 in refugee to send char but that they said you know they are not going to force anyone but they have made it clear that that the whole of the 100000 to
1:30 pm
that this island this island he said you know how come you are coming to that how can we force them. because you know we are we have no alternate option we have only they give us their land and the whole state ahs soul. they are trying to do what they want but you know without all a constant and on and you know they are saying well we would have to live you feel old there you know that the people can see and you know let like i live in germany i have visited many cause and tracy and can hear memory of places well with the lifestyle law and look like a concentration camp and also there is no guarantee that you know these islands when it will be a decent piano from the. from there you go so it is negative debt no guarantee all you know all of the delights of debt this $100.00 and those who will be forcibly if
1:31 pm
you don't get that there will still do this you know like it i would call it you know it is it killing seat that killing thieves we escape from the catering scene is from yemen now we are again going to face another killing seen in public they age. i mean to me can i also just add to that the hit nice on this point about us i'm sure because i keep in touch with many of the refugees who i've interviewed in cox's bazaar and they are so scared about the prospect of potentially being forced to go to this island and we must put that into some kind of context here too because you have this is a population is considered to be the most or one of the most persecuted minorities in the world when they were living in me and more they were marginalized to the extreme they were persecuted for decades they didn't have freedom of movement now the ones that are in bangladesh they can't move around freely they're essentially
1:32 pm
trapped in these camps in these very poor conditions and now they may be even further marginalized if if it does happen if it does occur that they are forced to go however many of them whether it be 100000 or 200002 this island and it's not just that they wouldn't have freedom of movement on that island you have rights groups that are said repeatedly they're concerned that these could be prison like conditions they are concerned about the weather and the effect that it would have on this island which is made out of silt off the bay of you know in the bay of bengal which is prone to flooding as you mentioned before they're saying that one of the most vulnerable populations in the world could become a lot more vulnerable if they are forced to go to the site of part of the reasons that we will have to because of political well will and how much is will mob done so far from little new toronto until how to have a. as you mentioned on instagram that there's a brand new report from the united nations that report was talking about the potential for voc all genocide of the rich people running at.
1:33 pm
the u.n. reputable for human rights this is what he saw just recently have a listen ma'am i has done nothing to dismantle the system of violence and present condition and the rohinton revie main rakhine live in this. same dire circumstances that they did prior to the events of august 2017 very denied citizenship and recognition face regular violence including in the context of the ongoing conflict between the our current army and the time i don't our neighbor to move freely and have limited little access to food health care and education livelihoods and services so nice as these are some of the main reasons that they don't want to go back home they don't feel that they will be safe back home can you explain a few more reasons as to what the situation might be back home for them and why they would prefer to be caught as bizarre let us not forget one fact since 2002 of
1:34 pm
the international media does not have any access to the archives the international humanitarian agencies don't have unfettered access to the archives and also you know you and fact finding mission has been denied access to it including the special report all so how are we expecting these they're going to know what you how . to repair create to completely lock down area one we are going to push these people to this side of the myanmar then you come. from the unity eleonora. yet completely losing these people so that's why there is no accountability who can provide us security who is building to provide us security we are not protected by law that's why it's very important that our rights restored before we talk about. and all but you cannot decide on the ferry all the big 5 years of genocide when their wife is not included in any part of the repatriation
1:35 pm
process so growing a wife if must be her then must be part of any negotiations and then there can be success and on that point i want to let you know that i want to bring in a few more voices from online picking up on the point that media was making this is feisal on twitter who says no more genocide we want justice we want to go back to our homeland we want the military held accountable for alleged killing looting and rape we want our rights back so that's one person the other comes to us via a video comment that she sent us and she's a real human rights activist in here's what she told the story so important that when we look at the room here issues that we've got beyond the humanitarian crisis the various yes when you refugees in bangladesh are still in very very dire conditions they're still facing fear and intimidation in order to force them back into burma the situation in burma has not improved either since 2017 this is confirmed by the u.n.
1:36 pm
fact finding mission report and other reports that have come out and confirmed satellite images bill to military bases surrounding your villages the smallest of the kind states as well as the newly built in terming camps the military and the government of burma have no intentions to actually make the situation better or you know create any sort of reparations for not just for him but also the ethnic minorities so there's i'll give that to you i know you want to jump in but if you could also address her point there that myanmar is not making it very welcoming for . people to come back and question cause of burma because it's formally known as burma and that video caught on. so well in yemen government and the military want to bring bed. more than india really injured you know say supply about from us was on to the state as a whole the need to resettle the 130 really change refugees who are trapped inside the concentration camp for more than 70 years since 2002 x.
1:37 pm
after the violence they were tracked into their concentration camp and instead of the out there so they really want to repatriate their people from bangladesh plus let them settle back in their origin of villages in sydney or swear in data center a kind of state and restart if they're to see citizenship that will. definitely beit. refugee in bangladesh daniel they have to provide international protection it is just necessary or because there is no going to it that these people will not be us you created again and their criminal must be brought to the gestes because in all because of the impunity they have been continuously beating that crime against their own and yet not only their own across the country though there aren't that many many other that
1:38 pm
it might already be they also will sorry but they are organized as a seed is in doubt of what i was as a group that is the difference between and. and those are that it minority so does the most important is lost because the justice and then international protection then the full citizenship post has to be really still listen to this this feels like probably my memory out after the timing of that i had to cry so this was like this is this is not over i'm among possible. i just wanted to add 2 points to be repacked creation process if me or my government is not allowing our identity to be accepted inside myanmar we are not protected we are not safe and also myanmar government should abolish the international community who are supporting this national verification card system this is a genocidal to where we are forced to write our ethnicity of bengalis it means
1:39 pm
denying our own identity these are also very important and it talks about prepared creation our discourse i want to bring in a little clip and this is rashid. and on the actual anniversary of the beginning of the ring of crisis when they had to leave. and then go to bangladesh he was talking about what is it that he and his fellow refugees want fabricates amounts have a look have a listen to me and i certainly have the money we should go back on for conditions they are one we have to be given citizenship to bring those remaining in myanmar have to be shown to us 3 un peacekeeping force has to be there to protect us for we have to be given justice for the crimes committed we shall go if the international criminal court can do justice to the lot it's amazing how many missing very clearly a testament to what anita and mason have been saying but it doesn't even look even
1:40 pm
close to getting a resolution what do you know you're. i would say you're absolutely right i mean it's unfortunate but that's just seems to be the reality on several fronts i mean one of the major problems is that and this is a point that anita touched on is that you have governments. that are speaking to one another about the writing issue time and again they are not talking to the rowing they do not have a seat at the table when it comes to their future and also what has happened to them in the past so this is something that's very frustrating that this is not a great demand this is just simply asking have a seat at the table when it comes to trying to determine what their future might be but it's much more complicated than that i mean we've touched a few times if you're in the program today about let's just say the international
1:41 pm
criminal court i mean every time that i have gone to cox of his art and spoken to the refugees there that the survivors they have said that they want to see the international criminal court get involved in this and they would like the international court to mete out justice to those officials in me and more of a fair responsible for the genocide and you know that's a that is a process that is riddled with iraq shia complications and just just to give you a little example you know in the past few months you had the prosecutor for the international criminal court officially ask the judges for permission to launch an investigation and still a decision has not been made but even if it decision is made the international criminal court's jurisdiction when it comes to this is not in me and mark is manned mars not a signatory to the rome statute is not a member of the court they would have jurisdiction because bangladesh is a signatory to the rome statute so what they would be investigating at least in the
1:42 pm
initial phases of any kind of official investigation would be forced deportation across the border into bomb that just gives you some example of how. difficult this process is so even if we get to a point where the i.c.c. says yes we are investigating this they have to figure out the scope of the crime they're investigating they have to figure out where they're going to do the investigation and we're talking something that could take years to potentially even take decades and really has no impact right now on the ground for those who are in the refugees who are so desperate and their anger toward me and them and what you're saying there of course is so dire and so important that it makes the idea of a mobile phone communication blackout seem smaller and juxtaposition of course it is at the very heart of being able to hear those voices so i pull up this week that we just got from protect their hand that that's their handle and they write when a democratic state blocks the mobile phone and internet communication of an oppressed people or refugees there is a problem so i need a we got

a video comment from someone an anthropologist who actually is studying the rangar refugee camps in bangladesh and he links the telecommunications blackout that is occurring right now to the future other have a listen to what he told us recently toughen restrictions on access to mobile phone networks and phones affecting revenger refugees in bangladesh or characteristic of that country's governments reacted stance in this crisis and on the issue of repatriation in particular what's needed rather are proactive policies including expanding 3rd country resettlement as myanmar today under arms on suki's leadership remains a reeses to apartheid state where civil and political rights including citizenship are linked to race any repatriation under those conditions is tantamount to a famine and would directly implicate the government of bangladesh and myanmar as a genocide of the region. so neither he mentions a 1000th the international law term in which
1:44 pm
a country would put refugees back in harm's way by sending them back to where they know they will be harmed what do you make of his comments. he's frightened in many ways but one point i would like to see the international community in a different rate although when your population are very vulnerable they are very traumatized if boehner the show allows for resettlement so all has been qualified but this is not our we don't want to resettle in 3rd world countries in 3rd countries we want to return home so the international community including the government of myanmar should create should pressure the myanmar government to create conditions safe for us to restore our citizenship right this is what we are longing for we don't want to go to any part of other countries memoir is our whole you are not stateless we have a state just help us create those conditions that we can return home. because
