lower house of parliament a controversial bill that sets religion as the criteria for granting citizenship to foreign and. leader aung sun suu kyi is headed to the un's highest court in the netherlands to defend her country against genocide charges the west african state of gambia launched the 1st bid to bring myanmar to international justice or a military crackdown on muslim its use is backed by the 57 nation organization of islamic cooperation more than 700000 were forced to flee to neighboring bangladesh back in 2017 protests by opponents and supporters are expected outside the court ahead of you cheese arrival of hundreds in myanmar's largest city youngun rallying in support of him from tucci as she faces the court crowds of people carried posters and flags to show their solidarity offices how team will be defending men

must national interests at the course. well the un has accused me of carrying out mass rape killings and the banning of homes during its military campaign says that was conducting a legitimate counter-terrorism response and denies the charges of genocide meanwhile the gandee his legal team is asking the court to impose protections for the rich before the case can be had and full recent attempts to repatriate tens of thousands of refugees have failed with many still fearing for their safety when he talks us through the arguments of course ahead over much of a broader case inside the international court of justice behind me looking at these allegations of genocide the gambian who are basically emergency 'd provisional measures to be ordered by the judges asking that the government of myanmar the security forces in myanmar guarantee the safety the security and the rights of the who are still inside rakhine state and within myanmar and those who have fled to

bangladesh and who may wish to return so that is what it is requesting the judges to order the government to guarantee now if the i.c.j. finds in favor of the gambian request and orders those provisional measures it may demand that the government to. conduct a detailed written report as well as the gambians on those exact measures that they have taken place provide proof that they are undertaking those measures and report back to the i.c.j. possibly within months it's important to note though that the i.c.j. has no power to enforce its rulings it doesn't have a an independent police force that it can send into reclined states in a make arrests or anything like that or monitor the situation on the ground there but its rulings are binding for members of the united nations of which me and my are is one. well let's go live now to our stephanie decker who's on the ground in cox's bazar in bangladesh with those hundreds of thousands of refugees stuff we

were just hearing there from wayne that the i.c.j. doesn't have any kind of implementation mechanism so what's the feeling bad to the refugees believe what's happening in the hague will have any kind of actual impact on their lives. well people here who have been calling for over the last 2 years really it is just of course there is an awareness that it is going to be very difficult or not for miller with the ins and outs of the legalities of the differences between the i.c.j. in the i.c.c. which is also looking into potentially launching an investigation here in trash in criminal court that court can bring specifics against individuals what you're seeing now is the charges against me and more of not doing enough to prevent a potential genocide but the evidence here is vast i mean we're in a refugee camp there are various camps that make up almost a 1000000 people in each of these makeshift you have a family or you have an individual that has these incredibly tragic traumatizing

stories whether they're physically scarred whether they're mentally scarred of what happened 2 and a half years ago that saw hundreds of thousands stream across that border you can see mean more in the distance the mountains in just the space of a couple of weeks as you mentioned there are mass rapes killings people being locked inside their homes and burnt alive stories we've been told of people being chopped to death to death it's an unbearable story that these people have to tell and what they want is to be able to return home this is the bottom line but there is no guarantees of their safety if they do go back to me a marmion mars had allowed no access even to the united nations to go and see what is happening on the inside so it is an unresolved issue and it's an issue that needs to be resolved because these people bangladesh doesn't want them anymore so there's a big question mark about how these things going to move forward staff let's talk about the more immediate needs in the camps as you say bangladesh doesn't want them and there have been these attempted repatch relations you are saying they do want to go home the security situation isn't stable enough for them to do so so what do they need right now. yes well this is

a problem the longer this goes on for you have an incredible and increasingly hostile local bangladeshi population you have a government in bangladesh that says that they can no longer. wait can no longer host these many people you have these people who want to go home and mark doesn't want them is not giving the guarantees of their safety you have you know aid agencies that have done research that shows a lot of the villages where these people have come from no longer stand using satellite imagery because of course there is no access for journalists or n.g.o.s into these areas they're restricted here in the camps they can't leave after a certain time but there's a curfew at night there is no 3 g. for example there is no internet services here education is not available and i can tell you we did a story a couple of months ago about over 100 babies being born into these camps every day so you have a generation that is being an educated these are people without a state without papers without birth certificates without a home but they're here are nobody really knows where they're going to go next so

these international means and pushes to find some kind of justice are of course important but more importantly is to find a resolution about what's going to happen to these people stephanie decker there for us in and bangladesh thank you staffs. now u.s. house democrats are preparing to reveal 2 articles of impeachment against president donald trump in their bid to remove him from office that could see a possible votes on his impeachment in the house of representatives as early as this week more from mike hanna in washington d.c. . at an evening function the speaker of the house nancy pelosi refused to confirm that articles of impeachment against president trump had been agreed upon earlier she met with the chairman of the house committees to decide exactly what these articles were going to be

a formal announcement as to these articles is expected in the course of tuesday however various agencies including the associated press and the washington post report that the democrats have agreed on 2 articles of impeachment one on abuse of power the other on obstruction of congress now if these are indeed the articles that will be introduced it indicates a very narrow form of impeachment focused on president trump's dealing with the ukraine and the allegation that he used his political position his position as president of the united states to get political information on an opponent for the next u.s. election then to the structure of congress charge would deal with the white house's attempts to interfere in that ongoing investigation into the ukraine situation their refusal to give witnesses their refusal to provide documents that had been

subpoenaed now this could all move very quickly indeed there could be a vote in the judiciary committee as soon as thursday that would then see a vote being taken on the floor of the house the following week and that in turn could lead to a trial in the senate in very early january. a lawyer for both democrats and republicans appeared before the house judiciary committee on monday and what's the to be the final public hearings before the impeachment oscars are announced how does your caster has more. fireworks inside of monday's impeachment hearing likely the last before the house judiciary committee draft articles of impeachment came not just from protesters but also republican members committed to showing that they believe the proceedings against trump are a sham. was scheduled not to consider the major ruling if you were to appeal gentleman was going to try to overturn the results of an election we have not elected people to the gentleman who was then the witnesses were attorneys for both

parties and though the facts were the same that trump froze military assistance to ukraine then asked its president to launch investigations into trump's political opponents the interpretations of those facts couldn't be more different president trub use the powers of government for domestic political airing to put his political interests above that of the nation and each a president who's $63000000.00 people voted for over 8 lines in a call transcript is boni it's unclear who the lawyers are trying to convince members of the house judiciary committee made up their minds long ago along party lines democrats hold the majority and will draft articles of impeachment likely by next week if the president puts himself before the country evaluates a president's most basic responsibility he breaks his oath to the american people. if he puts himself before the country in

a manner that threatens our democracy and our our privacy the american people requires us to come to the defense of the nation trumps attorneys declined an invitation to attend the hearing signaling deliberately defend the president before the senate in a likely trial in january it's a disgrace to our country it's a hoax republicans hold the senate majority which means that obviously a conviction in the sun will fall well short of the 2 sorts requirement to remove president trump from office and i think you would likely expect that it would be entirely a partisan vote outside the ivory domes of the u.s. capitol polls show the american public is also strongly divided by party voters who identify as democrats strongly support the impeachment republicans are strongly opposed that about split the population evenly in halves with opinions unchanged since the beginning of this impeachment inquiry republicans say trump spate should

be decided by the people in next year's elections but democrats say because trump is accused of soliciting foreign interference in those very elections he must be held accountable now heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington now in india a controversial citizenship bill has passed its 1st stage in parliament a proposal one that had to india's upper house it's geared towards granting citizenship to those fleeing religious persecution but as it excludes muslims some say it's the governing hindu nationalist parties latest attempt at sidelining muslims in india a correspondent in new delhi and she says it's likely the bill will pass the upper house too. while there are sharp divisions the government did pass the bill in the lower house with a thumping majority of 311 people watering for it and just about 80 watering against it so it was quite a success there for the indian government ruled by
