we get the un's view from the deputy high commissioner for refugees. and care for some top org eat with your coffee will take you to a cafe in bangkok where you can order a side of 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.

was. anger over wasted talent. millions of educated young indians like these protestors cannot find jobs the unemployment rate has hit a record high despite india's warring economy. we have and to ensure would you go home and get that is what what it was happening with the young and i would all feel each and every young person would not for this time is a. woman too angry after numerous high profile rape cases the modi government vowed to make the country safer for women but many see this as a hollow promise. to meet our. muslim. 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 that it's moody's controversial dean 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. i don't like modi has policies like the monetisation hassle the public so many scams are happening whatever he's showing it's. the hindu nationalist message that swept murdered to power still makes him the man to beat the strong man many want to see in charge.

we don't 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 found the car if modi was vulnerable to any of these issues. once a lifetime disagreement over the remains a very popular person i think is probably going to from the one this government is really preaching to take the job everything that he promised we back in two thousand. and he is also for you to bring to tackle a protracted i've written crisis in the country in recent years we've seen hundreds of thousands of foreigners come out on the streets of egypt in cities in a short and go demanding federal crisis for their crops unfortunately you know all these issues have really taken a backseat in his election and that's because murphy and fox actually beat national

security the number one can't be sure in this election that i'm the field we're seeing you know who he is he's using this to kind of deflect ready view of substantial issues like jobs and economic opportunities that his government is really feeling to deliver. sonia found a 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 plant is just one of many issues the bangladeshi government and humanitarian organizations must contend with g.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 this question know that by the dish wants to move these refugees into another island in the bay of bengal and that's just speculation or is that actually a plan 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 and this is something i know that is very important to the to the government to the prime minister herself and we're working as we can in collaboration with them in terms of this being an option how tentacled is this for the bangladeshi government will they or do they need extra help well the government of bangladesh actually would it 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 know that 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 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 and 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 in the absence of solutions to be able to continue to support bangladesh and certainly there has been news that humanitarian aid to their state for example has been stopped so what are the steps that the un that c.r. is stating in the un want to have people are 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 iraq and 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. our 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.
