some top org with your coffee will take you to a cafe in bangkok where you can order aside a canine cuteness. i'm melissa chan welcome to the program it's good to have you with us we start in india which is now less than a week away from kicking off the biggest election in global history starting next thursday around nine hundred million voters will be casting ballots over a six week period commentators are calling it a referendum on prime minister narendra modi and his hindu nationalist government he's leading in key polls but some issues have dented his popularity. anger over wasted talent. millions of educated young indians like these protesters

cannot find jobs the unemployment rate has hit a record high despite india's warring economy. the other to ensure would you go home and get that is what what it was happening with the young and i knew i would feel each and every one was a good model for this time is a. woman too angry after numerous high profile rape cases the mo d. covered him and vowed to make the country safer for women but many see this as a hollow promise. to meet. to lean on muslims in the. and modi may be bleeding support from an outraged countryside farmers largely backed him and his promise of akshay did in all good days in twenty fourteen but their lot has since worsened reeling under debts and falling prices were normal give somebody just four months we haven't received

a single penny for the crops we have sold that money won't come until next year and that's really worrying. was put its modi's controversial de monetise ation policy rolled out in twenty sixteen that's really motivating protest voters the move to pull high value banknotes from circulation was meant to fight corruption instead many lost out especially small businesses. this term and i don't like moving his policies like the monetisation hassle the public so many scams are happening whatever his showing it's all lies. but the hindu nationalist message that swept murty to power still makes him the man to beat the strong man many want to see in charge. we want a huge majority for modi in this election it will be

a slap in the face for the traders. will there be more modi for india as elections get underway next week it will be up to the people to decide. and i asked d.-w. sonia family car if modi was vulnerable to any of these issues. well so my point is to remove all the remains a very popular person i think is probably going to from the one the government says we need to create to take the drugs everything that he promised we back in two thousand. and he was able to feed it to when you tackle a protracted i've written crisis in the country in recent years we've seen hundreds of thousands of farmers come out onto the streets of egypt in cities in the short and go demanding fatal prices for their crops unfortunately you know all these issues have really taken a back seat to his addiction and that's because murphy and i have actually read national security the number one county commissioner in the sections of that i'm still saying that you know who he is he's using this to kind of deflect ready view

of substantial issues like jobs and economic opportunities that is going to just be featured in the for. sonia found the car there and our team in delhi will be bringing you in-depth coverage throughout the election here on news asia turning now to bangladesh what do you do with one million rohingya refugees over the past two years the new arrivals have lived in sprawling overcrowded camps not a great long term solution officials tried sending some back across the border to myanmar there were no takers the other idea has been to relocate refugees to an island in the bay of bengal it's called bosh on char a tropical island sounds right but some humanitarian groups say it's an end habitable to the point that it can be completely submerged during high tide and then there are the cyclons as you can imagine the idea isn't popular with refugees

but bangladesh says construction work is complete and the camp is ready to use. the island plan is just one of many issues the bangladeshi government and humanitarian organizations must contend with d.w. spoke to deputy high commissioner for refugees at the un kelly clements about the relocation project we also asked her what other countries in the region can and should do to help. there's discussion now about by the bush wants to move these refugees into another island in the bay of bengal or is that just speculation or is that actually a plan when one of one of the issues and we've certainly applauded the government of bangladesh for trying to decongest you know along is the world's largest refugee camp and it's very dense and so they've been looking for other options because of course bangladesh in this part of bangladesh is one of the poorest in the country and one of the forests in the world this solution obviously will take some

preparation and we have had discussions with the government in terms of the technical assistance that would need to be provided first and foremost the refugees would need to know what they're going to and what their options are and it would need to be freedom of movement in terms of such a relocation but if they're able to work they're able to move there they have access to information like there are possibilities there in terms of decongestant already very dense populations within good ash and this is something i know that is very important to the government the prime minister herself and we're working as we can in collaboration with them in terms of this being an option how tangible is this for the bangladeshi government will they manage or do they need extra help well the government of bangladesh actually would would welcome i think a lot of help in particular not just on the humanitarian side but also on the development side and this is where we have a very strong partnership with for example the world bank and some of the

development institutions in addition to humanitarian assistance there's been a lot of work done you called it that many lives were saved during the last monsoon season and we've been preparing right along for the next season and you know we can never be complacent but i think this kind of collaboration and again the generosity of the bangladeshi people and the leadership of the government has been instrumental but we need to continue to support and provide much more assistance what is. the reason was what about india and china india has been criticised for its attitude towards wearing good refugees what about china or what about the region actually you know we have just launched something called a solidarity initiative and we've talked in fact the high commissioner was in china last week and raised this but it's it's about the support that needs to come both to me and mark but also to those hosting world can go like bangladesh in terms of looking at this as

a. situation that deserves the support of the international community including some of the regional powers and there's been i think strong support. regionally certainly in including from from groups like. and some of the discussions with regard to the ballet process that will continue to be important because we need to continue to come together to look at solutions and in the absence of solutions to be able to continue to support bangladesh and certainly me in march there has been news that humanitarian aid to their home state for example has been stopped so what are the steps that the u.n. that c.r. is staking in the end want to have. you know we've been involved in myanmar for a very long period of time decades in fact and it's one of the world's largest stateless populations as well so we've worked very closely with the me and mark government we have been involved in a tripartite arrangement with the u.n.

development program with the myanmar government ourselves and part of that is to look at areas within state northern state where we can. implement quick impact projects to try to provide some support to host communities in rakhine but also to those. populations as well we have been able to access some areas but not all and obviously would seek to access all if we can about thirty five of these projects have been already agreed to with the man. mark government these are very small infrastructure of small water or health related activities and we have asked for support for about the same number in the second cycle so we continue to work on this again to develop some of the conditions that may make it possible we hope for refugees to be able to return voluntarily and say. that was u.n.h.c.r. deputy high commissioner kelly clements speaking with. a politician it's
