4:03 pm
things are very, very tense. and what's happening right now is that we're, we have a dry season to punish. and that is traditionally a time when there is an escalation of military action. and we have seen of the deployment of tens of thousands of troops, heavy weapons and equipment, into the northwestern regions of the country. so this is a very, very disturbing shine. we have seen the increased human rights violations of many people are caught in the crossfire and we're, we're very, very concerned that we could be see now imminently a significant loss of life. i hope i'm wrong. and i'm hoping these, these calls for restraint will be heard. but right now i'm, i'm deeply concerned. tom, you described how the military's using tactics similar to before there were hunger attacks. what do you mean by that and what have you been saying? well, what we saw in 2016 in 2017 was
4:04 pm
a mass deployment in we're kind state of troops and weapons on a very systematic of based and then all hell, fire broke loose and these troops surrounded villages. they attack them ferociously . people, many people were killed was incredible riffing human rights violations and torture, just unspeakable violence. and so we're seeing that pattern. we're seeing the massing of troops, the deployment in areas that the, the hunter has decided. it is an area that needs to be, as they say, open up clearance operations. now this is the term that everyone in me and more knows at least those in the ethnic areas. what that means of potential. very a ferocious attacks and mass atrocity. so they've talked about clearance up, they defined the genocidal attacks against the rainbow as clear as operations. and
4:05 pm
we're hearing that term used again. as we see, tens of thousands of troops deployed to the north west of the time that is incredibly consenting to fee that the world is going to sit back and watch this happen on stand up and take action. well, my, my message to the united nations general assembly yesterday is that people are, have lost hope in the united nations. they truly don't, but that is people in the more they do not believe that the united nations, the international community really cares. and so they desperately need an action and i and i outlined up some of those steps should. the international community can take deny weapons to the hunter, denied money that they need to supply those troops. this is one of the largest militaries in the region. indeed, the world and deny legitimacy to the, to the hunter. those are the 3 things for wanted, needs from the international community. and we need to deny them those things we've seen indications than when that happens. such as when asi on nations that are happening after summit next week, they decided to not invite me not lying,
4:06 pm
the leader of the hunter, immediately following that there was an announcement of the release of over 5000 political prisoners in me and more. so it works, international pressure worked, and this is exactly the time that we need maximum international pressure on this regime. sorry, international pressure, but what about it's neighbors, or how much pressure should, ma'am? as neighbors such as china, put on the gentle everybody has an interest in not seeing this thing escalate any more and to see a peace and stability and respect for human rights. be established, it's important that a, this hunter, this illegal hunter. i'm step down and the military go back to their barracks. it's emmy interest of every one. and so we're calling upon all countries, particularly the neighbors because they have clearly the most at stake. and of course, what we're looking at now is the, the potential, in fact, in some areas we're seeing significant numbers of refugees heading for the borders
4:07 pm
. and we could be seeing a mass exodus of people wanting for their lives over the border. so both countries that border me and more have a great deal at stake. of course, the healthcare prices in me and more the spread of cobit that is an issue for the region and for the world. so this truly is not just an issue of me and more it's the region, and indeed it's the entire world that should be paying attention and taking action . right. well, that's a great way to finish. listen to them. thank you for your time. now. tom andrews, the un special rattle on the situation of human rights in me and my thinking. italy's for my interior minister material sylvania has gone on trial for his role in blocking a migrant rescue ship in 2019. he's accused of kidnapping and abusive power. the far right politician prevented through vessels from don king for days they were carrying hundreds of people. rescued from the mediterranean desperation led to some
4:08 pm
migrants jumping off and attempting to swim to show just sort of, i'm sorry for 2 reasons. for the time i didn't spend with my children and for the money of the italians are spending on this political trial organized by the parties on the left of defending the borders is a duty not only for a minister, but for everyone. and it's emphasized in our constitution, i think being accused of doing my homework is nonsense. adam rainy joins us from ryman has been covering the trial. what happened on the opening day that adam? well, the main thing, emily, that happened was that the judge and the court accepted the list of witnesses submitted by the prosecutors more than 2 dozen witnesses among them. the hollywood actor richard gear, and in addition to the statement we just heard from vini, he use that opportunity to ridicule the process. that's somewhat what he does a lot here in italy when there's a serious issue at hand,
4:09 pm
like the fact mutation is charge of kidnapping and dereliction of duty. he starts to question the powers that be how they have any right to do this. and then really cool the, the system doing it saying what is the hollywood star? he actually said earlier today have to tell us about whether i'm a good or bad person, more or less what he said. so he's kind of joking about in it. this gave him a platform to both present himself and say he respects the process by showing up in court, but this same time really cool. it say it's a waste of taxpayer money and make fun of the prosecutors for bringing in a celebrity, which is of course, fodder for him on social media is something he's very adept using adam, what's the significance of this trial? and what happens if it's solving is eventually convicted? well, he's eventually convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison, which would be huge here in italy to see a former and tear and minister in fact, vice prime minister, which was what his portfolio was at the time sent to prison. we won't know if that
4:10 pm
will happen for months if not years, become because the long legal and judicial system here in italy and the significance. well, it's quite complex because in italy, what we have is this kind of window in time that this trial allows us to see through because it's, it's about actions that took place only 2 years ago. but 2019 was a very different italy and which migration and these desperate people crossed mediterranean was the biggest issue that italians faced in their media. and also took to the polls when they voted, elevating my to 70, to such a place of power. and what that does significantly now, let's see, the current italy of 2021, which the pandemic meant continues to be the biggest issue for italian. so they're not as concerned with this strong arm policy that let me have any rise to power. they want to see a strong italy back and shape back and forth with people getting back to work and the economy growing. so people are watching it closely. but solving in hopes,
4:11 pm
of course, is that this gives him a platform to rebuild his image because he's been quite weekend recently, politically trying to out maneuver, challenge on his right flank by a rising politician from another right wing party. and what he's perhaps hoping to do with his talent on social media and stability to deflect and turn this trial into more of a media circus. maybe it's to show that he still maintains this strong opposition to immigration here in italy. and that he still has the political savvy inability to push aside any challenge. yours to that leadership position on the right. that's what he's hoping for. emily, while we were white and say thank you for your update throughout the day, adam rainy they live for us in run. rival rallies, taking place in hungary as the country marks the 65th anniversary of the uprising against the soviet union. thousands of pro government supported marching through budapest prime minister victor oberon is set to address the crown and opposition
