12:05 am
but they were the 1st on the ground. and another thing we did recently is we've created 3 wheeler fire fighting vehicles. and this is super important, like little vehicles that allow us to reach this difficult congested areas. and this has been provided by you and hcr with our partner. and 16 of the vehicles were able to deploy quickly to the camp to mitigate the fire. we're talking about one 3rd of this particular camp population who lost their homes. and they again, all their belongings. everything had in a fire, so it's an additional trauma. what we're doing right now is we've deployed 90 community health workers. these are also refugees who have been trained to provide for 1st aid, but also for a psycho social support aids. and if somebody needs hurt, or they're then referred to by psychologists and different types of services to deal with this mental trauma, that means again, everything they owned,
12:06 am
longs on easy human rights activists. and i say also a scholar of what the ringer of somebody joins us now live from kent in the u. k. and so you have the massive displacement in 2017 the atrocities committed against the ring. but you will have several hundreds of thousands who had fled, rac kind state before that time. i think you now have a 1000000 people living in these cramped conditions. you know, people who are inside these camps, what do they tell you about what life is like for them? well, i mean, not only did you have, they told me just today that this any video clips are real time when the file was raging. a lot of them, i don't know personally, you know, i just know them as a my own fellow ma displaced, you know, because of the genocide that back in 2016 and 17. told me that one of the things
12:07 am
that i have picked up on was that the, the wire fencing, you know, that the have all the, you know, friends with concrete polls. and so, you know, the purpose of this about fencing which went up in 2019 november as a result of parliamentary defense committee in bangladesh and approved by the highest authority of prime minister. shake hands, you know, so was to make sure that nobody goes in and, or can go in or come out in terms of refugees, right. and so that, you know, the fencing became a barrier in terms of a fire exit. and so people could not carry anything because that they had to like run to the, the longest, routed to get to any. and i'm the say places and a lot of places i've seen pictures of that. you know that my journal is friends of
12:08 am
the semi for from there as well as from u. k. a bit people cutting bob wires to try to escape. the fire is a apple and it's, i think, isn't it because you have this sensing that has been instilled by the government. but of course it means that when a fire romps people a trapped inside with no way out, why to so many fires occur in this area and they being deliver a set or is it just by accident with semi people living in it? stan densely populated, bit of land. marian, that's a $6000000.00 question. i don't know whether it's, you know that there was any foul play on these fire since 2021 march until the end of last year, 2020 to december. there had been over 2 incident fires and the largest to police and i think like march 202150000 people will further display. so these
12:09 am
were officially turned by the bangladesh government as you know, displays people from the law and they displaced from this cabin. imagine like a genocide survivors. so like with so other camps, you know, being fenced in again. the idea of been seeing that genocide survivor and depriving them of any type of habitation that we would call you know, be fitting any human. i mean that's our region. this is, this is, i would, i would say this is immoral if not internationally criminal on the part of the bangladesh government. all right, well thank you very much for joining us, long johnny sharing your insight with us. and of course, i know you've been in touch with the people there at the camp off to that. terrific . find today. thank you. now iran's education minister is apologized since as officials understand parents concerns following

12:14 am
free for the last year until the beginning of to 2021 to 3. basically, you know, in the last to last month or so we've seen the rest of many leading figures from different sides of the position. we've seen people from the center left being arrested, people from the right rested for well, ok, so the wrestlers going to chase of the been accused of conspiring against the safety of a basically and that the claims are delegations are trying to stage a coup d'etat against the current regime with the help of foreign powers and they have been accused of having meetings among each other but also with foreign diplomats or representatives or important figures. b, french figures, americans turkish figures, but that the thing of the official document had not been released yet. and the defense attorneys are claiming, are saying basically that the claims are empty with no real true and,

12:35 am
previously managed by civilian agencies nor compass never in the contemporary history of mexico has a military have access to this amounts of resources and civil functions most recently, mexico's armed forces were assigned to monitor air traffic and even given control of an airline, and now with violence enforce disappearances in the country at record highs, mexico's armed forces are taking a leading role in policing the country. while many criticize growing militarization in mexico, president loaf is over that insist, the armed forces are the only ones capable of curbing violence. it's the same attitude. mexican presidents have held since the start of the so called war on drugs in 2006. but human rights advocates say the pace of militarization under the current government has grown exponentially. good, okay, almost macho, and we've been a military state for a long time. i think we're entering a more dangerous route, which is really the reason. militarism is
12:36 am
a mixed face. it implies that he's not only security issues that are being handed over to the military, but that they are being given political control, allowed to be from the mo, the locked doors in the day to day government decisions. and the most dangerous thing is the political participation. they could eventually be given unity. many security experts say that after a decade and a half of boosting military spending to curb violence in mexico, the effect has been the opposite. arguing that more military has instead lead to more abuse, citing deadly incidents like the recent killing of 5 unarmed civilians in level at a little at the hands of security forces on february 26th. good. i believe it's an assertion that president lopez, overshadowed and fat ugly denies. i've gone through with a look as to say the yacht country to how things used to be there are no human rights abuses. the police and military corporations do not torture all massacre, nor do they forcibly disappear people. president lopez over what is often
12:37 am
criticized for having an autocratic streak in us is recent electoral reform is seen by many as an attack on democratic institution. ality was but it's the president's affinity for the military that's raising the most concerns over the future. democratic stability of the country. manuel, capital al jazeera, mexico city. u. s. president joe biden is in selma in the state of alabama to commemorate the 58th anniversary of bloody sunday. he's been talking at the edmund pest bridge where state troopers attacked voting rights march. as in 1965 biden's trip to samara is aimed at underscoring his commitment to black voters, who helped put him in the white house. i caught her come admiration. not for show shall martyrs directed me the right to vote. right to vote dab your vote counted as the threshold of democracy, liberty worth it,
12:38 am
anything's possible without it. without that right now, if it is possible. and this fundamental right remains under assault. conservative supreme court as good of the voting rights act over the years. since the 2020 election, a wave of states, a dozen dozens of and i voted hawes fuel by the big law. and the electric deniers now elected the offers. shebra tansy joins me live now from washington. what was the theme of his speech? she had? it's a curious or curious thing we were told to expect this to be a read that a cation of jo biden's commitment to let's just legislative protections for black voters in this country at a time as biden's at that stage,
12:39 am
