hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. we begin with the rohingya crisis, the un security council is holding an emergency session after its damning report on torture, rain and genocide in myanmar. we'll be live in new york. we take you inside the greek refugee camp branded the worst in the world by a leading charity. there's violence, overcrowding, and children as young as ten attempting suicide. they lost their life in the war and they come here and they lost their life become to another camp and they lost their mind. as millions continue to flee the crisis in venezuela, colombia, peru and ecuador meet to discuss how to handle the huge influx. and we're in detroit where fans of aretha franklin are queuing up to pay their respects. i want to start the show with these live pictures.

this is the un security council meeting to talk about myanmar, and the rohingya crisis. earlier, the security council was updated by the head of the un antonio guteres on this report, it was released yesterday and accuses the myanmar military of genocide. here's mr guterres. it is clear that conditions are not yet met for the safe voluntary dignified and sustainable return of rohingya refugees to their place of origin were choice. and i asked

members of security council to join members of security council to join me in urging the authorities to co—operate with the un and ensure immediate and effective success for the partners. we must also continue to press for release ofjournalists who have been arrest on reporting the human tragedy. the council is in new york. the accusations centre on events in three different states in myanmar in the latter half of last year. you'll have heard of rakhine, hundreds of thousands of rohingya muslims fled from there into bangladesh, where many remain in refugee camps. here's one man currently stranded there. translation: we demand to get recognition as a community and get oui’ recognition as a community and get our homes and land back up and we can go back, we need assurance. getting refugees home is one of the things that the un is focused on. but before that, there's the issue of accountability, the un wants the international criminal court to bring charges against named

military officials. but last week russia hosted this man, min aung hlaing, he's one of those named in the un report. and china has close relations with myanmar, and has previously been supportive of its military. both russia and china have the power of veto at the security council. we heard from a chinese official earlier. translation: i think unilateral criticism is actually not helpful in resolving the problem. that's always been the case, seeking to play constructive role in resolving the issues. nada tawfik is in new york. secretary—general when he addressed the council said that accountability

was necessary for reconciliation, he really pressed there is no solution to the crisis without it, so he said the strongest report out by the un which said they should be prosecuted for genocide, that deserves attention from the council. so far we have heard from several countries including the uk and sweden who have not ruled out going to international mechanisms to try to getjust that accountability, but really we've heard a whole number of concerns raised, whether it's conditions not being met for the return of refugees that 130,000 rohingyan still in wreck kind are still subject to violence and don't have rights, basic rights, so that these are several of issues of the council is discussing urging the government to try and make some positive steps to

affect and resolve the crisis. help me understand, direction and china reject the findings of this report oi’ reject the findings of this report or do they simply disagree on how to respond to it? so far, china has said that the burmese military responding in support them to the rooftop —— rebels, we'll have to see given the report which is shocking in its detail and description, if russia and china and the ambassadors in their statements do take a different tone on this, but i think what we have heard from china is that they don't appeal it in their best interest to get involved as what they see as an internal affair but you heard from members here in the council is that this is not internal, this is an issue of international peace and security and that a different lens that you have russia and china viewing the crisis from that western countries. thank

you, if there are significant developments please update us. this isa developments please update us. this is a picture we have from a camp. the charity msf say it's the worst refugee camp on earth. it's on the map island of lesbos in greece. it was orginally set up for around 2000 refugees, at the moment it's home to 8000, most of whom come from the middle east and afghanistan. the bbc has been given exclusive access to the camp. this is catrin nye saw. food is scarce, conditions are appalling, and violence is always co nsta nt. while filming, two people are

stabbed in the food line, police block us from getting near the scene. always the same pattern at sta rts scene. always the same pattern at starts of a fight now it's for the food lion, people got stabbed, and it's always something between different communities. i'm ssa condition can lead to drink, that's deep trauma, their as ten attempting suicide. we are reporting this to the public system to units here, look, we have children attend as ten yea rs old were look, we have children attend as ten years old were trying to commit suicide, there is nosed child psychologist on the island. despite the fact we push to move these children to athens, as soon as possible, it's not happening. they fled after a huge fight there in may. largely between kurdish and

arab men. iron bars were used to beat people. do you think there are dangerous people there? as you heard there, one of the organisations involved in this camp is medecins sans frontieres. they have set up a clinic for women and children just outside moria. we talked to myriam abdel—basit who had just returned from the refugee camp. i was working in the section for children with symptoms of trauma and what i mean by that is lots of the children we were seeing and talking to have it anxiety and fears and bedwetting, and this is only

exasperated by what they are experiencing in the capital. this is the frustrating thing you're trying to relieve trauma within these innocent children who are talking about fears and worries and anger and not feeling safe at night, there are and not feeling safe at night, there a re lots of and not feeling safe at night, there are lots of rights and arguments that comes up in the camp and these children are scared to go. this is a chart can help us with the context to what's happening on lesbos. we can see the number of migrants arriving in italy, greece and spain in the last few years. in purple is greece. you can see arrivals spiked in 2015, and have since dropped dramatically. but those who came to greece are still there, and are effectively stuck in limbo. and some of refugees are blaming the eu. this is one syrian refugee who arrived in greece in 2014 and is now a charity worker in lesbos. they have to change something

because the police cannot do anything more, i believe they did the best for the refugees, anything more, i believe they did the best forthe refugees, i'm really sorry because we should be an arab country, we don't have to close the see, lots of countries lost their life the see, lots of countries lost theirlife in the see, lots of countries lost their life in the sea, they lost their life in the sea, they lost their life in the sea, they lost theirlife in their life in the sea, they lost their life in the sea, they lost their life in the war and they lost their life in the war and they lost their life in the war and they lost theirlife in their life in the war and they lost their life in the war and they lost their life in the sea and the camp, they lose their mind. i spoke tojessica bateman, who is a freelance journalist and went to moria last week. my experience when i was there on the ground was that there is a lot ofangerat the ground was that there is a lot of anger at both the greek government and eu because really, this problem, it could be absorbed and out with quite easily, like a thousand people, it wouldn't take a lot to really improve the conditions in that cap at all. and it's quite a

small dial—in, it's not a wealthy island, and this issue has been forced onto it, by the eu and greek government. in your conversations with the people there, are those on the island try to come to europe because they seek better economic life or because their experience at home became untenable? from my experience, people are fleeing from all kinds of reasons, i know there are people from across the middle east, africa, and escaping war, conflict, discrimination all kinds of things. i mean, i don't think anyone, even getting to the island is horrific journey anyone, even getting to the island is horrificjourney in itself coming from turkey cup i don't think anyone puts themselves through these things lightly. when you are on the island, does the existence of the camp

influence on life on the eyelid or is it very much kept out of sight for most of the people there? it's had a huge impact on the residents of the island, because for a start, tourism has gone down 50% from before, and businesses are closed, people are unemployed, and it's not a wealthy island. the villages surrounding the camp, people live simple lives, most of them survive off the land, because of the conditions at the camp, and the lack of access to food and because of violence there have been incidents of stealing from the villages, people stealing goats and sheep and for people in the villages that can bea for people in the villages that can be a really big loss to them if they lose one goat, are counting on it to feed their family. jessica, to want

more information on how the migrant crisis affecting greece, you could find it right now on our website. a dance from britain's prime minister, as she looks for business in africa ahead of the brexit deadline she's been outlining how britain's relationship with africa looks after brexit. the former chief rabbi, jonathan sacks, has said remarks byjeremy corbyn about zionists are the most offensive made by a senior british politician since enoch powell's rivers of blood speech. in an interview with the new statesman magazine, lord sacks accuses the labour leader of being an anti—semite who, he says, has given support to racists, terrorists and dealers of hate". sacks was the most senior rabbi in the uk from 1991 until 2013, and is a crossbench peer in the house of lords. mr corbyn has insisted his remarks were taken out of context. jonathan sacks today has told the

new statesman that he believes that those comments imply that however long they've lived in britain, jewish people are not fully british, he described it as a language of classic prewar anti—semitism and he drew the comparison as you said with enoch powell's infamous rivers of blood speech, and he said that jeremy corbyn was an anti—semite. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: the un security council is holding an emergency session after its damning report on torture, rape and genocide in myanmar. some of the main stories from bbc

world service. south sudanese rebel leader riek machar has refused to sign the latest draft of a peace deal which is aimed at ending five years of civil war. president salva kiir and mr machar signed a ceasefire injune and a power—sharing agreement last month, but a final deal is still elusive. bbc afrique. a few weeks ago we reported on this video of a woman being publicly attacked in a paris street. marie laguerre had shared cctv footage of the moment she was hit in the face near a cafe by a man who'd harassed her. well a suspect has now been detained. police in northern ireland say a primark store in belfast is at risk of collapse, after being destroyed by a fire. around 100 firefighters are still at the scene. there are no reports of any injuries and the building, which is five storeys high and dates back to 1787, has been safely evacuated. britain signed a trade deal for after brexit today. not one with the eu, we'll have to wait some more for that. here's theresa may in south africa,

and this deal involves south africa along with mozambique, botswana and some other africa countries. it's designed to ensure that the current trade deal these countries have with the eu continues to apply to the uk after brexit. theresa may's begun this trip in cape town. it's her first visit to africa since becoming prime minister two years ago. she told an audience about for the uk to overtake the us to become the g7‘s biggest investor in africa. i want to see strong african economies that british businesses can do it business with. whether through creating new customers for british exporters are opportunities for british investors. our

integrated global economy needs help the african economies are good news for british people as well as for african people. it's probably these pictures the trip will be remembered for though. the prime minister showing an audience of children at a local school some of her moves. the location for the visit chosen, her team said, as an example of the youth and dynamism of african nations. lots of people have been having funds with this, she anyone try to dance with them is coming off second best. tweet @wishartrowan "was in an absolutely silent waiting room today, then when that clip of theresa may dancing came on the news there was a chorus of laughter... i've never felt closer to a group of strangers". some sympathy too. tweet @stigabell, editor of the times literary supplement "theresa may dancing is me dancing unwillingly at parties so i refuse to criticise her". i think quite a few of us had sympathy for the situation she was

then. back to the main story because the uk has promised to increase its investment in africa to $5 billion. the bbc‘s economics editor has been looking at what impact that could have. what does the value of the uk trade with africa? at stake a top—5 economy in africa or britain exports for goods, they include nigeria, and south africa which the pm is visiting. over the last ten years, there is not been a huge amount of change between five and £7 billion a year. that might sound like a lot, but it's less than we export to for example, spain. now in total, we export a 4p a year to africa. now, that again sounds pretty good but the total amount we export to the eu, {164.1 the total amount we export to the eu, £164.1-- billion the total amount we export to the eu, £16a.1—— billion pounds. the total amount we export to the eu, £164.1 —— billion pounds. what about the pm pledge to be the biggest foreign investor in africa

among the g7 countries, those are the largest economies in the world? well, we're there are nearly already. the us invest 44 point their billion pounds, ukjust below by 42, and france the third g7, exporting at £38 billion. but, look at this, china is racing up the leak table. in 2011 they invested 17 billion. by 2016, that figure has grown rapidly to 41.1 billion pounds. at that rate of change, china will soon overtake print showing that competition for african trade is high and britain and theresa may are not the only game in town. with journalists all over the world we are lucky and the situations because he can look at the storage in different angles. here is the south african

perspective from that bbc. with the uk beating, there's a strong need for them to strengthen trade agreements, and she thought that africa will be a great place to look. the reason of course for that is africa as a growing market that has estimated by 2050, it'll be one of the first and fastest growing markets in the world and a big chunk up markets in the world and a big chunk up that will be young people so there's lots of room for growth on there's lots of room for growth on the continent, but what have south african said about the visit, it seemed twofold. number of people optimistic about what the pm has spoken about, a new partnership with the continent one that is focused on trade and that's something a lot of people look forward to, but some also are wary of the timing of the pm's visit, saying that she'd rather come to the continent at a time when the uk finds itself disparate. but at the heart of it, many people are

excited of what new opportunities this renewed partnership could bring. we want to update you on a story we uncovered yesterday. mapjust an update to bring you on a story we covered last night — the unrest in the german town of chemnitz. german police have opened 10 cases against far—right protesters who gave the hitler salute — which is illegal in germany. ssource oov we showed you some of these pictures last night — but german police now say about 6,000 people took part in the far—right demonstration and 1,000 in a rival anti—fascist rally. remember, this all happened after a man was fatally stabbed in the early hours of sunday morning. a syrian man and an iraqi have been arrested on suspicion of murder. here's jenny hill with more. very quickly, rumours started circulating on the internet suggesting that the german man died trying to defend a woman from being

sexually assaulted, today police gave a press conference saying that they have no evidence to suggest any such crime took place and that this happened at all and are very concerned about the description of what they call a false rumour. but people are believing it and i have seen people are believing it and i have seen it pop up on the television in germany today one woman said that he dry —— died a hero to defend them for being attacked by migrants, so you can see just how difficult it is for politicians, locally to try and comment atmosphere when people believe that this is the kind of thing that is happening and you can see how easy it is for right—wing groups and politicians to stir up public emotions by referring back to these false rumours so it's a very difficult situation and also worth bearing in mind after police themselves say they really struggling with these right—wing extremist in this part of germany,

bearin extremist in this part of germany, bear in mind this is a specific and unique parts of germany, because they are able to mobilise themselves so easily so effectively through social media. asjenny mentioned, the east of germany, and the state of saxony, is an area with particularly high support for the anti—immigration party afd. the minister president of saxony gave a press conference today. for me, it is central to position ourselves before foreign citizens. what we have experienced is wrong. we once we would —— will not accept it and we once we would —— will not accept itand do we once we would —— will not accept it and do everything to find those giving the hitler salute. we are determined to win this fight. and we will win it. angela merkel has also commented. we have recordings of people hunting

down there is, i'm and kate on the street andl there is, i'm and kate on the street and i has nothing to do with our rule of law, i only emphasise that again that was also said yesterday in the name of the federal government, we cannot allow such rights in any place or on any street. this is another example at theissue street. this is another example at the issue of immigration places on her, this is jenny the issue of immigration places on her, this isjenny again. migration is a practical subject is different in germany, as a political subject, anglo merkle is constantly being hammered sometime from within her own party, her own union, over migration and of course she's under a lot of pressure who have themselves into parliament on the anti—migrant ticket and they're not going to let it go. even at a time when numbers coming in to germany are down, what we saw last night and then night before. it has been somewhat hijacked, police certainly would say by right—wing extremists, last that we saw 6000 demonstrators

many of whom were galvanised or mobilised from other neo—nazi networks and bust into the city, that's not to say there is no public concern about migration that's not to say things do not go wrong, but it's worth pointing out there's a survey earlier this month which found that most germans are actually now concern more about aspects of public life like health, crime, even climate. more concerned about those issues than they are migration. so, it is very much a sensitive political issue, but it's very difficult of course for someone like anglo merkle to distinguish when it comes to speaking to her voters and those coding for the other party, to distinguish what's happening in the reality portrayed by politicians. we'll see you in a few minutes. good evening, at fannie forfew

cloudy for most to in fact the weather from a few hours ago, illustrate the blanket of cloud pushing it from the northwest, arena writing now as we speak in the rutherford slip its plays out across scotla nd rutherford slip its plays out across scotland and northern ireland through the night. he's got a shower is into southwest, may well push inland across the isle of wight youth and media and south east with the few showers overnight as well. here, temperatures stay around 1314 degrees to get pressure behind the weather front and back brand will continue to introduced fresh air, let's look at the details of bit more, tomorrow morning starts off with rain easing away and behind showers pushing into the far northwest, brighter start in northern ireland but by seven o'clock by rain slips out of the borders into north of england and wales and southwest, band of cloud few spots of rain as well a few

showers lingering away from east anglia. a messy start to our wednesday morning, eventually the weather front continues to slip its way south pushing into lincolnshire the midlands and down towards dorset coastline by then, just really a band of cloud behind it right or fresh conditions with a scattering of showers in the northwest 14—17 here, barely 21 degrees. we'll start to see an area of high pressure building and quieting down that high pressure will stay with us for the remainder of the week, but there will be dry weather around certainly worth noting we could start to see some chilly nights in indication the subtype or is near. if we look at the temperature profile, we can see green is where the lowest values are likely to be in town sending satyrs, in rural spots, low single figures out of the question. we start off with the chilli no but there'll be sunshine to start with eventually cloud will turn and gather in the

afternoon cloudy for many with risk of isolated shower almost anywhere, favourite spots wescott scotland beatty by the end of the day into southwest as well. looks for dominantly dry and quite warming up a little into the weekend that's it, ta ke a little into the weekend that's it, take care. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the un security council in new york is holding an emergency session on myanmar, it's debating what to do after its damning report on the torture, rape and genocide of rohingha muslims. we take you inside the greek refugee camp branded the worst in the world by a leading charity. there's violence, overcrowding. they lost that life and the world and they think they come back, and

they lost their mind. as millions continue to flee the crisis in venezuela, colombia, peru and ecuador meet to discuss how to handle the huge influx. and we're in detroit where fans of aretha franklin are queuing up to pay their respects. our lead story is the un's condemnation of what's happened in myanmar. it's also issued a damning report on the conflict in yemen. it is about the conflict. it's online if you want to read. if you do, you'll see the un accusing all sides of war crimes. yemeni government forces are backed by a saudi—led coalition. houthi rebels have the support of iran.

both sides are accused of showing disregard for civilian life. this is one member of the un's mission on yemen. despite the severity of the situation, we continue to witness a total disregard of the suffering of people of yemen. this crisis has reached its peak, with no apparent site of light at the end of the tunnel. this conflict has to end. civilians have suffered enough. the un has described the situation in yemen as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. around 6000 people have died, and more than 22 million people — 75% of the population — are in desperate need of aid. this conflict began in 2011 during the arab uprisings. long—standing president ali abdullah saleh was driven out — and power passed to his deputy — president hadi.

but the transfer was disputed — and the houthis sided with ali abdullah saleh, while government forces backed the new man. then in 2015, saudi arabia formed a coalition to try and restore control to president hadi. it hasn't worked, as you can see from this map — the rebels still control significant parts of the country. that's the simple version — but the un says the conflict has become "increasingly muddled as loyalties shifted, armed groups proliferated and factions fragmented." a little earlier i spoke with the bbc‘s mohamed el aassar and began by asking him what new information we've learned from today's report. it really essentially accused

eve ryo ne it really essentially accused everyone of carrying the same violations as an targeting civilians, making knower guard to civilians, making knower guard to civilian casualties. and enlisting children, torture, unlawful imprisonment. so really it is the first time all sides of the conflict are put on equal footing. does it suggest what to do about it? are put on equal footing. does it suggest what to do about mm suggest what to do about mm suggest that independent investigation should be carried out ina number of investigation should be carried out in a number of instances where civilians were hurt. it does not suggest all of these per se, but it really says that everyone involved in the conflict is suspected of committing serious violations and war crimes, possibly. the reality is that operating in yemen if you are an investigator is incredibly hard or impossible. so in reality, how well can any of these things be

investigated? the office of the report did say that they could not reach one of the cities and yemen that has been really under siege for the past few years. a lot of shelling there, and they were not even able to go there due to conditions. they visited the capital of the internationally recognised government, the temporary capital in the south. but they could not make it to every city. they did make it toa number of it to every city. they did make it to a number of cities and it involved a visit to the us as well. does this put a new pressure on saudi arabia and some of its western allies? saudi arabia has always said we are trying to put a legitimate president back into office and back in control of this country. with this criticism, it seems as though they are almost being put in the same bracket as the houthi rebels? yes. this is what the foreign

minister of the uae said earlier today. their concern is to protect themselves and to bring back the legitimate government of yemen to power. do they accept these criticisms? presumably not. they said they would examine them. they said they would examine them. they said legal teams will go through them. probably not. the report makes no mention of iran in any of its passages. they will probably criticise that. but they are vowing to respond. the houthi rebels on the other hand have already taken one point from the report and asserted that the airports and the capital should be opened for people who are injured in coalition air strikes to be treated. with reference to the humanitarian crisis, presumably it is as difficult as ever to get help to the people who need it. yes. and the situation is not helping either.

both sides are face to face. to the south, the coalition and the government forces have been stationed there for the past month or so. they agreed to halt their advance on the city, on the port city. pending a un solution to the crisis. most of the aid that get sent to yemen now is going through there. let's go to detroit next where hundreds of people are lining the streets to pay their last respects to aretha franklin. as can see here, her body, dressed in red with feet crossed, is lying in an open casket along with dozens of roses. in these pictures, we can see golden casket arriving at detroit's african—american history museum earlier — it arrived in style — in a vintage cadillac. the fans were then allowed inside the museum to pay their respects. aretha's music played

as they did so. detroit is the home of motown — and more generally of soul music — and aretha franklin is royalty there. a week of mourning is being held. and there will be a private funeral on friday. rajini vaidyanathan is in detroit. the mood is definitely more musical. this is a celebration of aretha franklin's life. it kicks off today with the open casket viewing which goes on until tomorrow here at the museum. then her body will move to the new bethel baptist church which is where her father was a preacher and where as a young girl she first sang. people have been camping out here from the early hours of the morning. it wasjust here from the early hours of the morning. it was just after 7am that a large white cadillac drove up to the museum and out emerged a golden casket. many people joking that in

true aretha franklin style, she made quite the entrance. people, as you say, have been gathering here. they have been singing songs and celebrating the voice and the legend that was aretha franklin. i got to speak to one such singer, angela davis, a local from speak to one such singer, angela davis, a localfrom the speak to one such singer, angela davis, a local from the trade who says her whole singing career was inspired by the queen of soul. # what you want. # what you want. # babyl # what you want. # baby i got it. # baby i got it. # what you need. # what you need. # you know i got it. # you know i got it. #on # you know i got it. # on asking is for a little respect when you come on. # hey, baby. # hey, baby. # when you get home. # when you get home. # mr. # mr. # r—e—s—p—e—c—t, find out what it means to me. it is hard to stay still right here because people are

breaking out into spontaneous singing. angela davis has quite the voice. she's going to be performing on thursday at an outdoorjavid concert to aretha franklin here in the city. thank you. more on all the stories we are covering. there is full coverage on bbc.com/news. for those of you on bbc world news. see you tomorrow. for those of you on bbc channel, we continue. and we talk about donald trump about going very early this morning. donald trump got going early. not long after 5:00, the president tweeted: @realdonaldtrump "google search results for trump news shows only the viewing/reporting of fake new media. in other words, they have it rigged, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is bad. fake cnn is prominent. republica n/conservative & fair media is shut out." he goes on to say: "96% of results on trump news are from national left—wing media, ver there has been a lot of regulation

about where he is getting his figures from. the verge website has a theory for where that 96% figure has come from the analysis by paula bolyard at the conservative news site pj media. google has responded: "search is not used to set a political agenda and we don t bias our results toward any political ideology." dave lee, technology correspondent, san francisco. they say they don't tabulate the results based on ideology. how does google decide which news results he gives us? the way google does that is something of a black box. the algorithm of google search is one of the most closely guarded secrets of the most closely guarded secrets of the company because indeed that is how it makes the majority of its

money. however it does go into some detail. i'm times about how it does rank websites, whether on normal searches or searches for news. google says there is around 200 different fact is that play into how highly a site and rank. one of the key ones being how often other sites link toa key ones being how often other sites link to a page, which isjust key ones being how often other sites link to a page, which is just one possible measure of how valid that piece of information is, or how reliable it might be. of those 200, google sets for certain that political ideologies do not play any pa rt political ideologies do not play any part in that. they are not, contrary to what donald trump suggests, pushing any kind of left—wing media agenda. and in doing so will becomes one of several companies now including facebook and twitter to face that accusation. notjust including facebook and twitter to face that accusation. not just from donald trump, but from various members of the right wing here at the us. some people are saying that

the us. some people are saying that the trump administration more broadly will like to take google on ona number of broadly will like to take google on on a number of fronts. should we give any weight to that kind of analysis? i think it is worth giving weight to it because it is being said. the republican—controlled centre and the house does have the ability to investigate these matters and the pressure on for more regulation of these companies. we have seen him very strongly since the cambridge analytica scandal. they want to look closely at how that can be dealt with. but also when it comes to manipulation of platform for various causes. i think where this is perhaps at that subject for donald trump is that we have seen in the past he has been routinely frustrated by suggestions that facebook was used to interfere in the election that saw him become president. he has often referred to that, suggesting to some that he perhaps sees that as some kind of suggesting that he did not win that election legitimately. many jazz that it has to offer and counter narrative to that suggests that it

is in fact conservative voices being suppressed on the network. that seems to be very appealing to this president. i've been summing it up today talking to others and it seems that this is one of many examples where the president is not telling the american people that they perhaps should not believe their own eyes and ears. some people say that is troubling. thank you very much indeed. let's switch from dave in the bay area of california. back to the economic and political crisis in venezuela. as we've reported before, millions of venezuelans have fled to neighbouring countries, which in turn are feeling the pressure. particularly peru, ecuador and colombia. this is one example: on the border with colombia is the sim n bol var international bridge, where scenes like this have become commonplace. every day hundreds of venezuelans

line up to try and cross the border. officials from colombia, peru and ecuador have met today in bogota to discuss this. here's a senior colombian official. translation: i wish to mention that the number of venezuelan migrants continues to increase on a daily basis. these measures that are being implemented by maduro, the only thing these economic measures are looking to do is to force the people out of their territory. i've been talking to our south america correspondent katy watson who said today's meeting hasn't resulted in any significant way forward. this was a meeting that was hastily called and it was meant to have colombia, peru ecuador and even brazil. but after two days of talking it was just the lumbee and peru that gave this statement, talking about the need for international help, about joined talking about the need for international help, aboutjoined up thinking, more communication between countries. but there is no overall

regional response to the crisis. as you say, venezuela is the problem, venezuelan economy is the problem and people still keep leaving despite the fact that 50 has been splashed on the currency, increased minimum wage. allan splashed on the currency, increased minimum wage. all an effort to stop with hyperinflation, to try to put the economy back on track. in the last week or so, nobody buys it. they all do not believe in the system and the economic policies that mr maduro is implementing. speaking of mr maduro, i want to show the viewers and ask you about something from venezuelan state tv earlier in the week. here is the president. one of his ideas to try and stabilise the economy is, well, for people to invest in mini—gold, and people can buy them for the equivalent of $63 and $104 respectively. this is a savings plan, write? indeed it is. the idea

that gold can hold its value. compared to what savings venezuelans in the last two years, maybe it might be more of a possibility. i have spoken to people with houses now not even worth what a roll of toilet paper costs. that is how bad the revelation has been. and it is that inflation could reach 1,000,000% by the end of the year. this is another initiative to keep venezuelans this is another initiative to keep venezuela ns happy and this is another initiative to keep venezuelans happy and try to encourage them to stay. but a lot of people are very dubious about these plans that mr maduro is introducing, especially at this time. i do not think a lot of people really have the faith in him any more. thank you. on every addition of outside source to bring you the biggest stories from around the world. we are going to finished the programme going to russia and first ethiopia. some astonishing and worrying accounts coming out of ethiopia. almost two million people have been displaced because of violence between ethnic groups. last month i was telling you that the news from ethiopia

seemed more positive. this man, prime ministerabiy, had been elected with a reform agenda. political prisoners were released, there was a peace deal with eritrea. but now this. ethiopia is home to over 80 different ethnic groups. in these latest clashes, oromo, gedeo and somali ethnic people have been driven from their homes. emmanuel igunza has this. it is example for anything that can be the fighting hunger and cold way. and just days, this has become home to more than 60,000 people who have escaped fighting between the gedeo

and oromo communities. in the next two weeks, she will give birth to her fifth child. translation: as a pregnant woman it is very difficult here. theyjust look around and see this environment. how can i deliver my baby here? the government says we can go back on. there are still killings happening. it is a big problem. like her, few here are willing to return to their homes. across the country, more than 2 million people have been displayed by ethnic conflict. here in the capital, they can jump yet another conflict in the region has sought refuge. local security forces are accused of targeting somalis in what has been described by human rights groups as a vicious campaigns of killing, beating and looting. taxation maker of i lost six family members who were killed. my children we re members who were killed. my children were slaughtered. my wife, sisters and mother were also killed. i

worked and they were killed. while ethnic conflict like this are not uncommon in ethiopia, but it is the timing and the magnitude of this which has caused so much stock in this country. eight agencies are now warning that humanitarian assistance for the millions affected is needed. we have seen lots of people, probably more than three quarters of a million people having to move in the face of violence a very short space of time. obviously when something like that happens the conditions people are living in a very, very difficult. it is a concern that the government has acknowledged. the prime minister has vowed to act on the lawlessness that now threatens to change the deep economic and political reforms in his party since coming into power in april. translation: a lot of people who are displaced have already been resettled. while some have returned,

but while others have not. this requires time and effort. we are working on it and there is improvement. we will facilitate the resettlement of citizens, but to their original locations. we are working on it. but it will take much more than work to convince the thousands here who have lost everything and now grown weary of the vicious cycle of violence. bbc news, 70 pio pio. —— southern eb 0pl. russia says it will hold its biggest military exercise since soviet times this month. it'll be called the vostok war games and will take place in russia 5 eastern and central military districts — they span from the ural mountains to the pacific coast. this is what the russians did last year. this was in northern russia, an exercise called zapad meaning west, held in conjunction with russia's neighbour belarus what's being planned this time is on an altogether larger scale. it will involved one third

of all russia's troops — that's nearly 300,000 — and more than 1000 aircraft — and the exercise will last five days. according to the defence minister "this will all be tested under conditions as close as possible to war". the kremlin has says the drills are necessary because of the current international situation which is "quite aggressive and unfriendly to our country". vladimir putin incidentally has been posting holday photos from one of the regions inside the exercise zone. he's striking a rugged pose — the usual. he has gone on holiday with some senior and military defence officials which is a novel way of taking a break. back to the military drills. this is nato's spokesperson tweet... and this time the chinese

have been invited too. here's yuri vendik from the bbc‘s russia service. chinese defence minister has reported that it is sending 3200 troops with 900 vehicles including armoured vehicles and stuff and 300 aircraft, mostly helicopters as far as we understand. and as one of the russian media outlets, not a very solid one or respectable as i put it, it is going to be a nightmare for the united states. russia and chinese joining for the united states. russia and chinesejoining forces for the united states. russia and chinese joining forces in the military. but that is media of course. other more balanced observers have dealt as to whether

china is ever going to use its military force together with russia. either way clearly the whole thing is designed to send a message. i was interested to read that nato has been invited. the interesting thing here is this particular exercise is not taking place on the territory of europe geographically. so that means that russia under the oecd conventions is not obliged to invite european observers to these exercises. russia has done it. that means it has shown some signs of goodwill. i guess we should see all of this in the context of vladimir putin's long—term plan to put russia back at the top table in the world. yes. and that is one of the parts of that the plan. and the other part of that the plan. and the other part of that plan is that to create a more

upbeat mood within the population and the politicians emerge as well. they are upbeat about this growing russia's military might. back to our top story, one that involves russia. the un security council is holding an emergency session in new york. they're discussing the un report which accuses the myanmar military of genocide against rohingya muslims, particularly during august and september of last year. this is what we have heard from the us ambassador to the un, nikki haley. children, babies, women and men suffering unspeakable crimes. the attacks were land, premeditated and coordinated. the perpetrator was the burmese military and security forces. the whole world is watching what we do

next. i should note nikki haley did not use the word "genocide" in that statement. thank you for watching today's programme. i will see you tomorrow at the usual time. i buy. —— goodbye. a pretty disappointing start to be weak. many places saw some heavy rain. temperatures really struggled to climb above the mid—teens. it felt almost autumnal light. i can hear you sighing as we speak. it does look as though it is a potential for does look as though it is a potentialfor summer to does look as though it is a potential for summer to return as we move into the early part of september. albeit briefly, we could see temperatures in the southeast climbing to 27 degrees. that is in the 80s yet again. more in just a moment, but let us get back to the here and now for wednesday we have got weather fronts crossing the country. one producing sharp showers in the southeast and another very wea k in the southeast and another very

weak affair as it brings a band of cloud, shower early bits and pieces of rain as it sweeps its way through the south and east. behind is somewhat brighter and fresher conditions with a scattering of showers in the northwest. highest values here 14—17d. to the south of that front we could see highs of 22, 70 two fahrenheit. high pressure will starts to build in an quiet things down but it does look as though the start of thursday could be chilly with a single figure is widely low single figures perhaps into the north. but there will be some sunshine around. quickly clouding over from the west as we go through the day. as we go into the afternoon there is a small chance of afternoon there is a small chance of a shower almost anywhere. but favourites by far west of scotland. highs of 14—20d with a threat of some rain into the southwest, just fringing perhaps the southwest and the hours. all the time the high pressure stays in control and kills off the weather fronts as they try to sweep in from the atlantic. we start off on friday get on a quiet

note, a lot of dry weather. i would develop during the day, but only rain will be fairly light and patty. western fringes of scotland and northern ireland. highs of 15—21d. this west— east and if i looks likely to be the story as we move into the weekend. most of the sunshine certainly through eastern england down into the midlands, east anglia and the southeast. further west, we move into the weekend. most of the sunshine certainly through eastern england down into the midlands, east anglia and the southeast. further west, weak weather here it would be fresher. high values likely on saturday of 23 degrees. it is a similar story as we move into sunday. the high pressure but trusting that little bit further east from the weather front buttoning up to the west. again more cloud and again some light, patty showery rain from time to time. but a good deal of dry weather and temperatures will start to respond in the southeast. highest values of 25 426 degrees, not out of the question. one of the reasons as we are starting to drag up this warmer airfrom the

are starting to drag up this warmer air from the southwest, with a jet strea m air from the southwest, with a jet stream staying up until the far north and west. so i suspect as we move through the weekend and into the early half of next week, early pa rt the early half of next week, early part of september we see more of a south—westerly flow which means we will continue to see someone as the uk stays to the south of the jet stream. if we look further ahead, although there is quite an undulation developing in the jet stream, we always stay on the south of it and allow another area of high pressure to build and keep things relatively quiet. the beginning of september is looking quite promising in terms of dry or weather. this looks likely to be the outcome. mostly dry and marginally funny at times. often warm. good news if you have got outdoor plants, not quite good if you're heading back to school. take care. a new trading relationship
