half arrived in just the last three months most of the refugees are children and monday's donor conference in geneva brought the total amount raised to help the ranges to about three hundred and forty million u.s. dollars that is still short however of the four hundred thirty million that aid agencies say is needed our coverage begins tonight with this report on the plight of the were henge. thousands of people still flee meon mar every day six hundred thousand rwanda have left for bangladesh in recent weeks almost all of them have experienced great suffering. not big home wanders through the refugee camp and caucuses bizarre clearly traumatized the eleven year old tells us what happened in myanmar. my father was murdered by me and mary's soldiers thankfully i wasn't their neighbors had hidden me and then they

brought me to bangladesh. a lot of their life. is now searching for her mother she hopes she also made it to bangladesh doesn't even have a tent she sleeps out in the open. more than half of the refugees here are children the relief organizations and the government of bangladesh aren't able to support them fully. everything is in short supply tents food and medicine there's just one hospital in the camp where a handful of doctors work around the clock. when they are on the run the heat and the long track are very hard going for those driven from their homes most people arrive here in very poor condition most of. the most serious cases are treated in the hospital in the provincial capital gong many refugees have been maimed by land mines or carry the scars of bullet wounds all of them accuse the myanmar's soldiers

of brutality. them just like. many. and most of. the myanmar these type of. me and bangladesh have formed a joint working group to discuss the repatriation route into refugees but very few actually want to return well for more on this join now on the line by dounia islam khan from the un refugee agency you and a c.r. . thank you it's good to have you on the show let me begin with the money how is this money that was pledged at today's conference how is that going to change the situation of the real hinges on the ground living in bangladesh. well thank you very much for having me as you have said in your report it's been two months but the flow off the new arrival hasn't stopped in. and today.

as we are speaking the number estimated number of refugees have crossed the six hundred thousand mark so in total bangladesh is now hosting a population of eight hundred thousand refugees which is equal to the legs and bark the population of lexan book so when we are talking about numbers let's not forget these numbers are people there are children women elderly people. people with disabilities and with needs they need everything so this conference. which was it they can mean in geneva. basically was to ask for international community to support bangladesh and to support training the refugees we need to argentina boat more toilets in the congested camps we need to provide sixty eight thousand women and girls with dignity supplies we need to provide

a chance just to continue education to one hundred thousand refugees children and five hundred thousand or more need food assistance and immediately as we watch the one hundred thousand more densely i mean these emergency shelters for example this money that is being raised at the end of the day are we talking about the money to help finance and to help keep going what is basically turned into a refugee city where all of these are hinges are amassing along the border because as it stands tonight these are people who do not have a state or a home to return to right. exactly exactly they are the people who have lost whatever they had before coming to bangladesh so they were compelled i mean no one let's be clear no one leave the country out of choice so and they have come to a country this country which is one of the poorest in the region bangladesh has its own one hundred sixty three million people and they are not rich people so this

money which is being raised today eight it's important that the pledges which is which have been made are immediately transformed into actions and then we are talking about life saving assistance and this money which we have raised is not going to help only looking at refugees we are asking for money to support host communities who are helping growing the refugees so the total doget to assist. is one point two million people which includes refugees in manmohan nationals therefore it's very important that the countries who have plagued today immediately start providing assistance so to keep the current base going and to enable humanitarian agencies to scale up ok in your as long con a spokesperson with u.n.h.c.r. tonight talking about that donor conference for the orange refugees dounia thank

country in talks with president ashraf ghani mr tillotson reiterated america's commitment to work with kabul to bring peace the meetings take place at bob graham airfield the u.s. is war just base in afghanistan. within touching distance of a deal that is how britain's prime minister to resign may described a bright sit negotiations with the european union today she spoke before parliament her tone was upbeat despite the fact that last week's round of negotiations ended without progress on the deal for britain to leave the e.u. we haven't reached a final agreement but it's going to happen. i have a degree of confidence i have a degree of confidence that we'll be able to get to the point of sufficient progress by december off of the from a speech that is a new momentum the front speech was a step forward and that should be a positive response to the willingness to work on the interim period and that has

been established a momentum. there was a british prime minister there theresa may well i'm joined now by our correspondent charlotte shelves until she is on the story for us from boston brussels good evening to you charlotte so i have to ask you what do european leaders what do they think do they share to recent days impression that important progress has been made . hi brian well a number of e.u. leaders have echoed tentatively to reason may's remarks that there has been some progress made to reason may even name checked a few as if to prove a point in his speech they included german chancellor angela merkel but the fact remains that if there really was so much progress you leaders would have been allowed talks to progress to the next stage to the next stage on on trade and on the u.k.'s future relationship with the e.u. as it was though they opted not to the summit last week saying the haven't been

sufficient progress yet particularly on not very tricky point of britain's divorce bill how much money the u.k. owes the e.u. once it's left the blog and i think it's making a lot of people very nervous that we aren't on that second stage as as expected because time is running out the clock is ticking to when the u.k. is meant to leave the and on says and he isn't doing anyone any good own the u.k. side or the e.u. side and certainly doesn't help and rumors and gossip don't help either case in point today's german newspaper the front for the other mine and so i tuned reporting that theresa may and i'm quoting here begged the e.u. commission chief sean called younger for help last week over dinner what do we know about their. yes brand this really set the room mohair in brussels light this morning i'm just going to read a couple more extracts just to complete the picture there of what this newspaper article was suggesting it was saying that to reason may in

a dinner with young monday looked anxious and tormented that she did it desperate and despondent and that she had deep rings on to her eyes suggesting that she hadn't slept so controversial with these comments that even sparked a twitter spat with a two reason may's former chief of staff suggesting that these remarks were leaked to the press by youngest chief of staff that was a very controversial debate the youngest chief of staff denies the allegations as i view him to himself he has denied ever having said it but i think what this shows is how easy it is for discord to arise between both sides and also the extent to which people are really feeling like there's something going on behind the scenes that we're not quite sure about yeah there's plenty of rumors out there that is for sure our correspondent charles until on the story for us tonight in brussels charlie thank you very much well the most recent poll suggests that britain is still split down the middle over bricks but despite any downsides it seems in some

places britain's cannot wait to leave the european union is it all about history when we visited hastings in south east england to find out. history is everywhere and hastings and tour guide erica barrett knows all about it from up here there is a good view of the english channel this is where the normans came over from france and ten sixty six the last time england was invaded the french have historically been britain's biggest enemy when the wind blew that. too for all. the men of hastings went to do it for all and when the wind blew this way the french came and took it back again and the reason which. but what does this animosity mean for the vote for breck's it the british people have a famously stubborn streak can this be explained by their history and is it this

quest for any pendants why they voted to leave the e.u. erica barrow does not regret having voted for breakfast and haws any influence from brussels it is regarded as an invasion of our liberties if you like what englishman consider is the right tradition and by right the very feel has been eroded if you miles further inland is where the actual battle against the normans took place people here don't follow the bricks of negotiations closely but most think that the u.k. is on the right track i think we'll be out to show the world that we continue their us and maybe yes go it alone and i think we'll succeed which is a small island off the coasts of fear and we're not really like your peers and i think it's better that way to manage their own affairs even though it might hurt them financially people seem convinced that it will be worth it in the long run

it's all about realigning britain with the image it has of itself strong and without too many ties to the continent returning the country back to. british people feel was the better way should be independent trading yes friendly yes but independent. shaking off too much influence from the continent the people of hastings are prepared to start a new chapter in the history books. you're watching the w. news live from berlin i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day we'll see you then everybody. when cities are engulfed by the sea. all the walls and cause.
