bangkok together with officials from the un refugee agency the u.n. h.c.r. will assess whether she can be granted refugee status protecting her from deputation this marks a pause in a tense standoff that began on saturday. arrived from saudi arabia but had her passport seized by a saudi diplomat initially thailand said it would deport her because she didn't meet visa requirements. the eighteen year old then barricaded herself in an airport hotel room she drew attention to her plight on social media quickly gathering tens of thousands of followers she said she feared for her life after her family threatened her for announcing islam and cutting her hair i'm not leaving my own until i see you on h c r i want. the title thirty seem to perform a dramatic about face ben promising not to deport

a. lot i doubt. we will talk to him and do whatever she requests yes kate trouble to seek help and we are the land of smiles but we will not send anyone to that. we want to do that by we will adhere to human rights. principles under the rules of law. that need come in. thailand is not a signatory to the un refugee convention and provides no legal protection to asylum seekers books the united nations says it will do everything in its power to help can do. well for the latest let's talk now tearful robertson from human rights watch in bangkok who has been helping coordinate efforts to prevent deportation certainly to have you with us so immediate deportation has been averted but just to be clear is her house now under the care of the u.n. h.c.r.

. that's our understanding she has been registered as a refugee with them and they're going to continue doing interviews with her to fully assess her status issue is confirmed as a refugee then she will. presumably be assisted to seek safety in a third country it's not quite clear where what country that might be but. eventually she would be able to find a safe and secure your place oh and do you expect the u.n.h.c.r. to take to process and assess her case. i think they recognize like everyone that this is an urgent and sensitive case and they'll try to move as fast as possible on this you know i don't expect it's going to be months or years i think it's probably going to be weaker maybe months but not too long because i think that is a very high profile case and everybody recognizes that she's still at risk what are you being concerns right now well one of the main concerns is that her father

is a saudi government official is supposed to arriving here tomorrow in thailand and we're concerned that he might try to do something to try to take her back or try to assert control over her she's eighteen years old she should be allowed to decide who she wants to see and who she doesn't want to see and we want to make sure that there are no games played by the saudi government to try to do something to take her back have you been in touch with her have you spoken to her how is she yes yes i mean obviously relieved but she was tremendously tired she didn't eat much very today during the ordeal while she was barricaded in the room so i think she tonight is she's finally getting out her first good. night's sleep for a very very long time and has any country a come forward at this stage and showed willingness to offer a half asylum. it's

a little bit too early to say what will happen is that you and h.r. will complete their process probably in the next couple days and then they will turn to various different countries and find out who might be willing to consider right now perhaps a case has been unfolding and real time on social media what happens when a tension wanes. well i think that we will not see attention wane i think that there is a great deal of interest in the global community in her case i think that the media you know turned out significant numbers it's been a huge story globally and i think that people will continue to be interested in till she actually gets to a safe place phil robertson from human rights watch and bangkok thank you sir for your time thank you. the government and go on says the military officer who led an

attempted coup has been arrested a group of armed soldiers seized the state radio station early on monday morning it broadcast a statement declaring president ali bongo unfit for office. officials say all the soldiers involved in the coup have now been captured or killed it was president is currently am rocco recovering from a stroke. my apologies there joining me now is a ruth mclean foreign correspondent for the guardian newspaper and the car ruth what is the situation and up on right now. well the government has just announced quite in the past few hours that they've been arrested at the last one of the coup plotters who took over the state broadcaster very early this morning and declare that they were staging a coup and called on gabby's people to join their uprising and to occupy public

buildings and to apple and the streets of leiber bill. so the government now says it's arrested all five or perhaps even more of the coup plotters the main one who read out the declaration on the radio was apparently the last one to be arrested he according to some reports was found hiding under a bed in a house quite nearby state border cost the others were apparently it sounds that before that there was some indications from the government that we want to go to might have been killed but we have no confirmation on that yet so you know it seems like we're looking at a very short coup attempts here starting it will see this morning in labor hill but already according to the government already over can you tell us more about present all the bongos rule who is present. well

president. has been president for quite some time but even in power for even longer with his father together they've ruled in since that since nine hundred sixty seven with only about four months break in between them all and oh my god the father died you know a month on go was noted for really having looted the country of a vast oil wealth and. i don't go has tried to distance himself from the sins of the father as it were. but you know she came in for a great deal of criticism over the last election in twenty sixteen when he apparently won with in his home province ninety five percent of a ninety nine percent turnout so you know those look like very improbable figures

and so people really said at the time that that was was a rigged election and so he went down in lot of people's estimation and then said that the the man that we're dealing with but he has been ill recently and out of the country which is probably why the coup process decided to take advantage of this particular time rest mclean and a car thank you so very much. i think our last very have to spray now with some of the other stories making news around the world. more than eight hundred protesters have been arrested in antigovernment protests across new dawn in the last few weeks according to the country's interior minister on sunday police again used tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters thousands marched through the capital hard to rule and other cities demanding the resignation of president omar al bashir after food shortages and rising prices. gumby are has sworn in a truth commission that will hold hearings into former president ja john may's
