with the government in cambro, those pictures the latest from the serbian capital belgrade. well, apple, originally he was a senior official in australia's immigration department. he told us more about jock of it. she is illegal. standing frankly, i thought the minister's comments about him not being held captive is, was saw the street. the fact is once a visa holders, the visa in australia is cancelled. they are mandatorily on the law required to be held in detention. i'm saying he must be held in detention. there is no, there is no choice. he's not prevented from leaving australia, but he cannot walk around australia. so these are that mr. joker, which applied for was an online visa, which has an auto grant function. the government has the option of turning the auto grand function on or off, depending on circumstances. in this instance, appear that the auto grant function was turned on and there were no alerts relating to mister john reaching the system. and as a result, the computer granted him

if he's going to get out. and if he knows about what's going on, how can i tell which he is in it right now? i hope he's going to speak about us because he has a strong boys and maybe that's just gonna drag the attention a little bit further. as i feel like when he's gonna leave this place, the media is not gonna hey, any extra attention to us. cambodian prime minister, who and san has started a 2 day visit to me and mom, he's the 1st leader to visit the country since the military crew, last year. many concerned that his trip will bring legitimacy to me and mars military. jupiter. tony cheng reports now from the neighboring toilet. cambodian prime minister hudson takes a few uncertain steps as he starts an official to day visit to myanmar. he's the 1st head of state to visit myanmar since the coolest february. while

a military has rolled out the red carpet, few others welcome the trip. why social media inside man, mom has been full of images like this. people showing their anger at hanson, those opposed to the coo and me and mars military rulers. there the visit gives legitimacy to the regime. the people are, are clearly sending a very strong message that on son is not welcome in. they are very upset that they're on san is a chevy, providing visitor missy, cheer, b, moderate hunter. and, and which is actually terrorized the whole country is also concerned that hudson could open the door that allows me on my way back into ashy and the association of southeast asian nations southeast asian leaders have already taken an unprecedented stand in excluding myanmar until certain conditions are met, such as the release of political prisoners and the end of violence against

protested. it's unclear how much backing when sin has from other regional leaders. but his arrival in myanmar could divide assay and further. it's also very unlikely once and we'll meet any of the jail democratic leaders deposed in the qu, but he may be looking for some time in the global spotlight himself. when san are realized that he is gonna play the center on the stage. he relishes that. i think it also is something that makes countries that have criticized him like the united states and the european union need him that they need his co operation protest as inside mamma had consistently called for the international community to pay more attention to their cause. but a visit from one of the longest serving authoritarian leaders in the world is unlikely to bring them the attention they want. tony chang al, jazeera gunman of killed at least 60 people in nigeria, northwestern. zam farro estates,

a country that is at war to be able to bring to bear on this and switch on on. ground security agencies seem to have made the headway with the recent release of some hostages and the reported killing of some native of the am group with political leaders seeking a soft landing for the content freighters, the bandits, most of them and not the chase. so there is need for government and i also need to raise to talk to the issue of seeing how we can get this re a ball order heavy. this is one of our loved ones with one security remains in media talking point i had on jan on elections in 2023. it remains to be seen if pres them will have a double harry, what are fulfilled? is electra promise to any security in the country before handing over?
