un human rights investigators say military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and called for them to be referred to the international criminal court. in an unprecedented move, the investigators named six top generals, including the commander in chief of the armed forces, and his deputy. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt says the claims are "deeply disturbing", and that he'd be travelling to myanmar to seek answers. un investigators interviewed hundreds of victims and found evidence of rape, torture and murder against the rohingya predominately in myanmar‘s rakhine state. more than 700,000 of them have fled to bangladesh. from geneva, our correspondent, imogen foulkes. a systematic campaign of murder, torture, rape and against myanmar‘s

rohingya muslims, extermination. patterns of violence which have been going on in myanmarfor decades and for which the un investigators say the country's top military leaders bear clear responsibility. this report contains details of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. now, it's highly unusualfor un investigators to publicly name those they believe responsible. this time, they say the evidence is overwhelming. six generals are named in the report. a longer list of names has been stored at the un for further investigation. the team interviewed over 800 victims and witnesses and heard accounts of gang rape, of children killed in front of their parents, and of entire villages burned to the ground. they showed me their scars.

they showed me where it happened to them. i could just see from their bodies and others, these people were deeply, deeply wounded. you know, it's not only about justice for victims. it's also deterring future activity. if you allow this to go without any kind of sanction, then every army in the world will think they can do this. the investigators were also highly critical of myanmar‘s political leader, aung san suu kyi, who they say failed to use her position as head of government or her moral authority to prevent the violence. the next step, the report says, is to refer myanmar to the international criminal court. imogen foulkes, bbc news, geneva. christopher sidoti is a member of the un's independent international fact—finding mission on myanmar, and joins us by webcam from geneva. thank you for being with us. this is

an important moment in the year—long effort to establish what exactly happened in myanmar. how difficult and disturbing did you find the evidence that young covered? difficult and disturbing. what has happened in myanmar is on our parallel with the worst kinds of crimes under international law that can be encountered. the findings we have produced today reflect the gravity of the situation and the seriousness, the brutality of what occurred. the difficulties you had, presumably, were getting access. there will be some who will say a lot of the evidence by nature has had to be second—hand, how would you respond to that? it was not second—hand. we had no access to myanmar but there are literally hundreds of thousands of people who have been victims of human rights violations in myanmar who are no longer there. that's one of the very

points that the investigation people dal, people have been driven from myanmar because what has happened. we interviewed 875 people in the camps, in bangladesh, thailand, malaysia, indonesia, even in the united kingdom. we had no shortage of victims and survivors to talk to. we also had the benefit of satellite imagery and of video footage and photographs that we were able to verify. we had expert friends at military —— forensic military, child psychology, gender violence experts who were able to assist us. we had no shortage of evidence whatsoever. do you accept that there were some violent acts committed by armed groups from within the rohingya community, which was the justification the military gave for the crackdown, albeit that that wouldn't justify the kind the crackdown, albeit that that wouldn'tjustify the kind of things that use all? —— use all done?

wouldn'tjustify the kind of things that use all? -- use all done? we accept that there weren't two categories of violent acts committed on the part of the group, the initial stand... there were another gao categories, tax on military and police faces, the second concerned undoubted human rights abuses. we know the killings of people who were suspected informants and we know of the burnings of one ethnic rakhine village. so we know there recession the human rights abuses committed on the human rights abuses committed on the part of them, but we know there is no comparison in terms of scale, brutality, number of victims, with the military‘s actions. it is incomparable. we are not excusing, we'd know that there were serious human rights violations for which the group responsible. but we know the group responsible. but we know

the predominant responsibility lies with the burma military. you are very clear in the statement you made when this report was launched that criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted, you have enough evidence for that to happen. what an idea requires —— what now do you require the un security council, which is chaired by the british? the un security council is the first place responsibility lies under the un charter. it has the power to make a farrell to the international criminal court or to establish a specialist tribunal to deal with myanmar and take other forms of action. —— make a referral. first and foremost, these actions should be taken by the security council, there must be an international judicial mechanism for accountability. but further, there must also be preparatory mechanisms. we have suggested that that action be taken we have suggested that that action be ta ken immediately we have suggested that that action be taken immediately to establish any mechanism which can store the work of preparing cases for prosecution. there needs to be

further monitoring, as well, better resources for monitoring and reporting of what is going on. that is the responsibility of the human rights council and the office of the high commissioner for human rights council and the office of the high commissionerfor human rights. there are steps that can be taken very quickly by a number of un agencies and we're recommending those steps be taken urgently. the military have long ruled myanmar, there is now a civilian government but it has many senior military figures in the parliament and still powerful in the government. aung san suu kyi is regarded as the titular leader of the country. you would accept that she does not have control over the military but what responsibility do you think she and other civilian leaders bear? there's not really a civilian government in myanmar. it's a hybrid government with both military and civilian components. and certainly, we can see that the civilian authorities have found their responsibility and have found their responsibility and have contributed to the atrocities. but they were not involved in the planning for the operations,

responsibility for that lies wholly and solely with the leadership of the military. they planned, the fermented, they are responsible. that's not to say there is no respond to those younger part of the civilian authorities but it is far less and secondary to that of the military. 0ur less and secondary to that of the military. our focus is less and secondary to that of the military. 0urfocus is very much less and secondary to that of the military. our focus is very much on the military who are running the country. finally, many watching will say the reports are valued and important but in the end, nobody has ever held to account. there are many exa m ples ever held to account. there are many examples in the international system, both of failure and success, achievement and holding people to account. in the latter case, we have seen various successful prosecutions over a period of time in relation to rwanda, and former yugoslavia. i don't accept... the fact—finding commission... it shows is that without accountability, the cycles of violence continue to be occur,

and that is particularly the case in myanmar, this is then going on now in one form or another for 50 years. and it is only when there is accountability, continuity on the pa rt accountability, continuity on the part of the military, that we will see any change, any true transition in myanmar. thank you very much for your time. we are grateful to you for joining your time. we are grateful to you forjoining us from geneva. thank you. let me bring you some breaking news that has just come into us. i refer to date in the headline but more details. west midlands police have this afternoon named a man they are hunting in connection with a stabbing of two women in solihull. here is a photograph of him. he is 21 yea rs here is a photograph of him. he is 21 years old. the victims have been identified as his former partner and her mother. he is wanted in connection with the stabbing, fatal stabbing of two women. they were found between 12:30am in the early

hours of this morning in a street in solihull. police said there was a man who he was known to the victims they want to speak to, they have now named him, and supplied this photograph and urgently tried to track him down. 21—year—old janbaz tarin. new research suggests that the price of meat, vegetables and dairy products will rise by at least five per cent in the coming months because of this year's extreme weather. the centre for economics and business research said the winter freeze, followed by the recent heatwave, had put huge strain on farming costs and yields. duncan kenendy has this report. 2018 has been a year of weather extremes, from the beast in the east to the wilting temperatures of high summer. for many farmers, the buffeting of the seasons has brought pressures that will soon have an impact on consumers. we've really had to buy in a lot of supplementary feed to feed the cows. we have fed this winter's silage which we would normally feed during the winter, we've had to feed to the cows during the summer and so we're running out of feed and having to buy in a significant amount

of supplementary feed to feed the cows today and we're looking at a huge feeding bill for this winter. that will put our feed price up by about 4p per litre. now an economics research group says farmers' costs and the struggle to produce enough food is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices and some dairy prices. between march and july, the farm gate price — the price of produce direct from the farmer — rocketed. carrots went up 80%. there was a a1% rise in the cost of onions. the wheat needed for bread went up 20%. and the price of butter climbed 24%. the researchers say all this has a knock—on effect and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, the monthly shopping bill will go up. we expect it will cost uk consumers £16 million per week and that equates to £7.15 per month per household.

a spokesman for the department for food and rural affairs told us it's not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it has taken steps to help affected farmers and that high temperatures have helped some food and wine producers. farmers say consumers can help them best by paying the price they need to stay in business. duncan kennedy, bbc news. the people's vote campaign, which wants a new referendum on brexit, is attempting to change labour party policy. that's according to a leaked memo. it wants mps and activists to submit a motion at the labour conference next month, committing the party to backing a new referendum on the final brexit deal. 0ur correspondentjonathan blake says that whilst the government has ruled out a second referendum, labour's policy is slightly more nuanced. they say they will respect the result of the 2016 brexit vote, but all options should be on the table if a deal is rejected by parliament,

so people's vote are nudging at what they see something as a door ajar here. this memo has gone out to all their members suggesting those who are labour party members should submit a motion to the labour party conference next month which would call for people being allowed to express their views in a public vote on brexit. but the conference as a whole would have to decide that was a topic that should be debated. then it would need the support of at least some ofjeremy corbyn‘s supporters on the left of the labour party and they will see this potentially as a way of undermining his leadership, which is why people's vote have been clear that this should not be used as a way of attacking jeremy corbyn. also, labour potentially risk alienating some of its supporters who voted in favour of brexit in the first place. it is far from certain that labour will change their policy, but it is probably the people's vote's campaign getting what they want to happen,

another referendum on brexit, turning into a reality. earlier i spoke to brendan chilton, of the labour leave group, for his take on the people's vote campaign. there is nothing wrong with trying to change policy. the labour party conference is the sovereign body for policy making and for debating policies within the labour party. however, i think it would be a tremendous folly to try and change party policy on this issue, given the enormous support our brexit manifesto achieved in the last general election. your manifesto was a manifesto for government and people might not have just been supporting you because of your position on brexit. no, but the labour party has made it very clear that we accept the outcome of the referendum. jeremy corbyn was the first major uk party political leader to call for article 50 to be invoked. 70% of labour constituencies voted to leave the european union. we have the top leave constituencies

represented by labour mps and of course our manifesto last year committed to ending freedom of movement, to leaving the european union and to accepting the outcome. given that we won back millions of ukip supporters and held on to many marginal seats, many of which voted leave, i think it would be a political error to try and change that policy now. i suppose the difficulty with this is the kind of cleavages it causes across parties. you have the leading leave constituencies, and some of your mps also represent some of the leading remain constituencies, not least in london. this is why it is so difficult to resolve this in party political terms, and isn't that the advantage of having a second referendum? the result may be exactly the same, but then in a sense you can get around the problems it is causing not just for your party but for the conservatives too? well, the referendum itself was very simple. the british people were asked if they wished to leave

the european union and the majority of those who participated in that referendum said yes. it wasn't an advisory referendum. it was an instruction upon the government to get on with delivering what the people were asked, which is to leave. the labour party has said it accepts that. since the referendum we have had many labour figures, senior labourfigures, giving speeches and making comments on what would happen if we denied the will of the people, or if we try to change the result. barry gardiner not so long ago, our shadow international trade secretary, highlighted that social unrest could be caused if we ignored the will of the people and said anything other than a full brexit would leave the united kingdom in the position of a vassal state and so i think labour needs to just get on with this, support the government where we can, hold them to account and focus on what our policies will look like outside the european union instead of trying to rerun the last referendum. the headlines on bbc news...

warehouse space has doubled injust a decade. here's our business correspondent emma simpson. it's big business, delivering parcels. these days, most of them contain our internet shopping. it's 9pm at dhl‘s vast depot at east midlands airport and things are getting busy. each night, we process 190,000 shipments through this facility. and it's growing. dhl has invested more than £150 million expanding this site to keep up with demand. the pace of change is incredible. a few years ago, we wouldn't have seen any e—commerce or online shipping parcels come through this organisation. now we are seeing 60% of the uk volume is all e—commerce. what does that tell you? it tells us that's the way forward, that's where the future is. location is key. this region is making the most of its good connections. next door, a vast new distribution

park is taking shape, the east midlands gateway. high street shops may be shutting but this part of retail is growing at breakneck speed. we've commissioned research which shows that over the last decade, 235 million square feet of warehouse space has been leased or bought. that's double compared with the previous decade. more than half of it has been built from scratch, like this. the proportion going to retail has doubled, too, with 2018 set to be a record year. 0ver there is the airport. the boss told me there are now almost as many planes with cargo as passengers. passenger flights tend to be during the daytime hours. then what happens overnight, we really come to life with the cargo activity

the metropolitan police say a hundred and thirty—three people were arrested at the event yesterday, and 20 weapons were seized. this friday marks 21 years since the death of princess diana — and this week we're hearing from the winners of the diana award, an award established in the princess's memory to celebrate young people who have gone above and beyond to change the world for the better. earlier i spoke to benjamin bennett, who is one of the diana award winners. he won the award for his fight against discrimination and prejudice towards the roma and traveller communities. he told me some of the discrimination he has experienced. the discrimination i've faced is, you know, it's for as long as i can remember. the first time that i started in school was, from what i remember, that's when it actually started for me. and i've been to 1a different schools, and i've faced discrimination in every one of them.

most of the time, it was by members of staff. really? you know, and the most recent event that happened in a school was last year and it led to me and my sister being attacked by 16 boys. and one of them tried to gouge out my eye and actually broke my right hand as well, and attacked my sister as well. that must have been terrifying to face that and to try and deal with it. how do you respond to the kind of day—to—day stuff? i mean, the violence is one thing, butjust the kind of almost — from what you were saying — the experience of almost routine, low—level, constant kind of name—calling and suspicion? most of the things that i do to get through that is just tell people, you know? don'tjudge me because you have an idea what my community is about. and i'll help that person, or persons, who are discriminating me for who i am or have suspicions

about me because of my community. i'll actually help them and say, look, i'm not like that and the stereotype that you have about my community is actually not true. and don't paint everyone with the same brush. and there's good and bad in every community, you know, so don'tjustjudge one whole group of a community and paint them all with the same brush as being villains. is that the hardest thing, to know that people look at you and they assume they know you and they've made already judgments about you, just because of your background? it is hard, you know, to feel, because it makes you feel like you're not accepted within society. but the best thing that i can do for myself — and the best thing that i've always done and my parents have always encouraged me to do from being a young age — is help people to understand that the community isn't like that at all. don'tjudge people as a whole, judge people as individuals. and one of the best things that

i learnt growing up is, treat people how you want to be treated. and that's always the thing that helped me with my work and all the suffering that i faced in school. you've spoken at the equality and human rights commission and you've been before some quite senior people in suits, and in some kind of grand venues. what sort of ambitions do you have for the future? how would you like to take this work forward? speaking at the equality and human rights commission was amazing. it was a wonderful chance for me to be able to tell those people that can make the changes, you know, what needs to change and what needs to stay the same. but also, i can help them improve on where they're going wrong, you know? and my ambition for the future was to, is to be prime minister, you know, and i'd love to be prime minister.
