person's head in the sand about the situation in the un described says ethnic cleansing also in the show hurricane maria devastates the small caribbean island of dominica and is now sweeping towards part of rico and the virgin islands already devastated by hurricane. and with just days to go to the german general election chances are i'm going to michael's main challenge of my team showed spanx a last ditch effort to pull in the votes but can he didn't medicals commandingly. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us myanmar's defacto leader also in sochi has broken her silence on the revenge a refugee crisis an army led crackdown has driven more than four hundred thousand minority muslims into bangladesh triggering a major humanitarian emergency suchi as national address was highly anticipated
10:02 am
she's been facing intense criticism for remaining silent on what the u.n. is now describing as ethnic cleansing let's listen to some of her speech there has been much concern around the budget. to the situation in a kind it is not the intention of the government to apportion blame or to epona gauge responsibility we condemn all human rights violations and unlawful violence we are committed to the restoration of peace stability and rule of law throughout the states since the fifth of september there have been no armed clashes and that afternoon clearance operation nevertheless we are concerned to hear that numbers of muslims are fleeing across the border two hundred days. we want to find out why this exodus is happening we. of course i was
10:03 am
beyond our civilian leader on sponsor chey there giving a national address which is also being followed at the united nations general assembly today well for more on the story i'm joined now by all of this tease from amnesty international he joins us from bangkok now your organization has just put out a statement saying that she and her government have quote their heads in the sand concerning the revenge refugee crisis so what do you mean by that. oh you know thanks or i'm going to have you know i think the most confirm concern you think about institutions. you know but look to live in canada violations stopping in iraq trying to stay through security forces why is that what many of the right decision look it's clearly ethnic cleansing unfolding this is a vicious military campaign in the storm hitting the leadership populations of all it's been protected by the or by the police or security forces of fortune the arms
10:04 am
as she had an opportunity to really take talks against the army but she failed to do so. as long as she under government if it's recognized the reality of what's going on in myanmar it's very difficult to see a solution to this issue now sochi is obviously in a tight spot over the ridge a crisis with the military still calling the shots in myanmar does really have any other choice but to mute her criticism of the military at this point and do what she at least in public can do what she can behind the scenes to help the ranger. no absolutely you are talking about essentially two governments of the heart but a military control is not just security forces but also many other key elements of the state there's no question the military is controlling what's going on there are soldiers and police officers who are responsible for violations to kill lukes
10:05 am
burning houses it's not a civilian government but having said mark of sushi. could and should be doing much much more which is do not think there are signs that it's only if you're looking at something impunity has considerable of moral and political clout we should be able to really speak out and condemn what's going on actually does cause our political power to be talking courses that this condition is going on for decades and we can't stay against going into so for a very very little has been done in this well what would you expect. city then to do in this crisis right now to help address it. i think one thing we would like to see which is something dark your best and. she she claimed that the medium of government does not fear international scrutiny but in fact will always use the last couple months of this meeting or according to make every effort
10:06 am
to to avoid any form of accountability from international oversight. of what is happening with her and states and in particular for its own security forces there was a. fact finding mission that was astonished never earlier this year which is tasked with investigating your motivations and. then you can be reluctant to do this to rebut what it is this happens mr bloom close thank you so much for talking with us that was all up on first there from amnesty international in bangkok. now the more than four hundred thousand revenge of muslims who have now fled across the border into bangladesh or languishing in desperately overcrowded conditions in one of the world's largest refugee camps he. sent us this report from bangladesh. they keep on coming. more than four hundred ten thousand refugees from me and mark
10:07 am
have already crossed the border into bangladesh and no one knows how many will still arrive. in the camps the situation is already at a breaking point. food water shelter everything is scarce here. many of the aid deliveries are organized by private bangladeshi citizens. and. if we do not help the government of bangladesh this problem will be difficult to solve and how do we don knotts not see the refugees are getting increasingly desperate and distributing aid to those who really need it can't be done from the back of a truck. the problem with the way this aid is being delivered is that it doesn't reach everyone and that it's a matter of luck and sometimes even the physical strength if you get some or not but there are hundreds of thousands of people here who are all desperately in need of food water and medicine and what they really need is
10:08 am
a large scale coordinated relief effort some forty kilometers north lies the hospital of cox's bazaar the district capital. here doctors are treating around thirty rohingya refugees with severe injuries. they have sustained burns broken limbs and gunshot wounds. the hospital only has two hundred fifty beds and was already overstretched before the refugees arrived. and this influx due to the. has been a great burden to us because these patients are huge in number diversity injuries and difficult to manage injuries from infected cases or cases are coming with existing resources existing medicine existing manpower itself may be difficult for us to deal with this influx outside the hospital locals voiced their resentment
10:09 am
towards the rohingya refugees. that only because of the real hinge of our country is suffering great lady. many of them break the low they steal they drop us and the women work as prostitutes. they've had manners how they. were doing. it if i personally ninety percent or so we don't do. that don't. we don't get them no good people don't get this obvious in our country back in the camps back in addition to trying to carry out on. the government has designated an area to house four hundred thousand refugees where aid can be properly distributed but with hunger and illness spreading it's a race against time. and that was data is
10:10 am
boston hot if they're reporting from bangladesh now hurricane maria despite being downgraded to a category four storm is bearing down on the string of caribbean islands and devastating small nations such as dominica the french island of guadalupe was also facing intensive strike on monday night on other islands such as antigua people bracing for the storm are still reeling from hurricane burma earlier this month the strength of maria could increase again is it moves towards quite a rico and the virgin islands according to the current forecasts. well jeffrey soccer and is the host of island ninety two radio in st martin in the virgin islands and joins us now on the line what is the situation there on st maarten right now are you prepared for maria. we are as prepared as one can be for maria i will tell you that. i think we are going to be spared if
10:11 am
we look at the current forecast track the brunt of maria looks like we are going to be more in the trouble gold storm wind and rain category with maria with winds between fifty eight seventy three miles an hour expecting a lot of rain a fair amount of wind but. i think everyone here on the island was. breathing a deep sigh of relief as this particular storm started to stay a little further south than we originally thought just couple days ago it is it has been a experience to live through this is you walk around and talk to people on the street here the the level of anxiety is palpable you truly can see the fear. in people's eyes as you talk to your neighbor ok this is we're as ready as we can
10:12 am
be. now this fear that you're seeing in the eyes of people there when you're walking around so i presume that is from the aftermath of hurricane irma that just rock what did that hurricane do to your island. we we were pretty much devastated if i had to take a guess you know as i walk around i can't find a single building that is not somehow impacted or scarred by burma and she went by even the buildings that survived quite well. still show the nicks and bruises of that particular storm i must also say that the folks there have done a fantastic job of trying to get things cleaned up. in the. maria starts to approach the region just yesterday.
10:13 am
i saw members of the government walking around picking up debris things that we were very concerned about becoming projectiles in the next storm ok maria because always sorry to interrupt you there jeffrey what about the other islands in the region maria is still heading their way what are they doing to prepare. well you know i think everyone is doing exactly the same types of things that we did just a week or two ago with respect to burma it's really about making sure that you've got your plan in place that you batten down all the hatches and most importantly you've identified a safe room a safe place in your home somewhere that you will where you will ride out the storm . i will also tell you that i had the opportunity last night i was visiting neighbors here on st martin just in just down the street and the person who lived
10:14 am
next door to the visiting sister was a police officer and dominique and had just called and said she was in the police department which was a concrete building but the windows of the building were rattling so i know that they've been hit incredibly hard down there and we hope that we hope everybody comes through in one piece we hope so too thank you so much jeffrey jeffrey in soccer it's every soccer and radio host with island ninety two in st maarten in the virgin. now to new york where president donald trump will take center stage at the annual gathering of world leaders at the united nations later today amid global anxiety over north korea and iran they're waiting to hear what the president's america first vision means for world politics a monday trump made his u.n. debut at a smaller event to debate reform of the united nations. in his first
10:15 am
appearance at the united nations u.s. president donald trump did not mince his words trump said the organization needed less red tape and more efficiency. in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more than doubled since two thousand and we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. president trump is a longtime critic of the united nations on the campaign trail he dismissed the world body as a club for people to talk and have a good time. u.n. chief antonio glutinous is also pushing for reform and has welcomed trance initiative un s three man this potential all of us have the responsibility to make sure we live up to it. our shared objective is the twenty
10:16 am
first century focus more on people less on process and as you rightly said more on delivery less on bureaucracy. on tuesday trump will address the general assembly amid concerns of global crises the us president's america first policy and his support for the u.n. . you're watching d.w. news still to come chancellor angela merkel's main challenger martin short speaks a last ditch effort to pull in the vote but will he be able to dent merkel's commandingly before sunday's general election. first news for parents in the u.s. or just about to start their holiday shopping moniker certainly if they're looking for toys toys r us terry because it looks like toys r us has just become toys r. bost the largest u.s. toy store chain filed for bankruptcy protection on monday toys r us has taken a beating from competition with online shopping and discount chains the filing is

10:18 am
keeps an eye for us on the market activity in frankfurt down hill are there any record highs inside to you all. well i wish i could tell you about a record highs here in frankfurt that's actually not the case by the investors also don't seem to be in a very sad mood at the moment when you talk to investors are actually telling me that sometimes when they are not too much news going on that this is also a good time for the stock exchange the blue chip index that opened with a slight miners this morning was twelve thousand five hundred fifty six points why is this happening even though we have this boost coming from the united states and also from japan mostly the very strong euro with more than one twenty at the moment because when we have a very strong euro this is usually harming the export business you know most of the companies in the blue chip index stocks are doing export with other countries and
10:19 am
they're feeling with this very strong euro that their products could be more expensive and also investors keeping a very close eye on the fed meeting and maybe a change in the interest rate policy ok so a possible dent in exports due to the high euro and the upcoming fed meeting is on investors' minds anything else you want to share a need to share with us on market activity. well there are two other factors that investors are really keeping a close eye this morning donald trump is going to speak and we have this tension to still going on with the united states and north korea investors will be monitoring very closely if he's going to make any new statements about north korea and we have of course on sunday a german election coming up with many investors here fearing that the dea the anti you know refugee party could be a number three year in parliament which could be a very bad image for germany and also for germany as a as a country you know to do business with so investors are also monitoring this very
10:20 am
closely this morning all right down here cope in frankfurt thank you so much for this. well and some passengers might watch ryan air europe's largest airline by passenger numbers very closely because it's canceling thousands of flights a rather unusual incident for the otherwise reliable carrier ryanair has by now published a long list with all the flights affected but that is little comfort for the airlines customers they demand answers the airlines c.e.o. said they messed up the pilots vacation i thought in a raise but not everyone is buying that. around forty to fifty flights are said to be canceled daily that's a total of around two thousand flights by the end of october ryanair canceled the flights to cope with pilot shortages and to improve its punctuality record we can either run the operation with a fifty five sixty percent punctuality we far more flight through options
10:21 am
inevitably cancellations and huge past your dissatisfaction calls to thirty five or forty percent of our customer base or we do what i thought last friday was the sensible thing we need to take out about fifty flights a day for the next six weeks while we have the screwy issue two thousand cancelled flights that means hundreds of thousands of angry customers but that didn't seem to bother ryanair it's not fair for the people that have booked already their holidays . everything because unlike base it's not put really that right. what the going about no idea the budget carrier is bracing itself for a bill of damages totaling twenty million euros but analysts are doubtful that improving the punctuality record is the real reason for the cancelled flights rather ryanair could be aiming to grab as many of the landing slots still occupied by the now bankrupt air berlin if air berlin stops operations those coveted slots
10:22 am
would be auctioned off but only airlines with a sufficient number of free planes for the additional flights would be eligible to bid. with bricks it talks not making any real progress financial markets worldwide to looking for guidance and they found it on monday when bank of england to governor mark carney discussed his central bank's interest rate policy at the i.m.f. meeting in washington and that's and to the pound sterling down almost one percent . rexx it is coming and while some politicians in the u.k. still try to paint this as a positive for the country most fear the road ahead at the i.m.f. meeting in washington d.c. bank of england governor mark carney said breck said this likely to hurt britain's growth prospects in the short term for him the negative effects of bracks that are clear. any reduction you know openness with the e.u. is unlikely to be immediately compensated by new ties of
10:23 am
a similar magnitude with other trade partners and even if those new agreements with other partners could be struck instantaneously the reorientation of business relationships will take some time britain's inflation rate has accelerated this year due in large part to the fall of the pound since the referendum decision in june two thousand and sixteen to leave the e.u. carney expects more inflation however any coming interest rate rises would be limited and gradual a statement less hawkish than expected. five more days to germans elect a new government terry maybe that's right maybe maybe with less than a week to go to the german election the principal challenger for the post chancellor. has been facing questions from a live t.v. audience he and his party the social democrats are heading into the polls trailing chancellor merkel's christian democrats by double digits so the t.v.
10:24 am
debate was showed just last week chance to narrow the gap. so time at prime time for martin schulz with less than a week till the german elections challenge faces last t.v. town hall meeting with tough questions from voters on the pressing issue of immigration he chose to rely on a slogan that's good for the you think. they're sorry magical words for integration language work and friends you have to learn the language of the country you live and work and if you live there you have to find a job and if you speak the language you will find friends and those who have friends integrated will know about the from that of theirs and so on the shoulders try to distinguish himself from incumbent chancellor angela merkel for example by promising to take a tougher stance on foreign policy issues. in these times of added one trump and putin mrs merkel likes to be cautious i wouldn't be like that i think
10:25 am
you have to speak clearly with the u.s. president with all due respect to the office of the president you can very well tell him mr trump your politics will never be those of germany we thought. it was a perfect format for martin schulz as a former small town mayor he knows how to approach people and promised to address voters' concerns. long. in four years' time i also want us to have invested in schools nurseries and infrastructure if this country continues to follow i'm going to fly in that everything's going to be fine well just carry on living off our capital and in four years time will be worse off than today. with just days to go till the election supposed special it's the social democrats look graham but they candidate proved in this town hall that he's not giving up the five cents yet. so in the buddhist leaders midweek action on tuesday
