7:01 pm
suspects ever stand trial. on my arcas great to have you along everyone new numbers from the u.n. refugee agency show a record 71000000 people from around the world are now displaced by war or persecution well that's an increase of more than 2000000 from last year most of the refugees are from syria the results of 8 years of civil war but conflicts in afghanistan south sudan me and maher in somalia have also forced millions to leave their homes so where are they all going turkey tops the list of host countries followed by pakistan and uganda which has some of the most unique and generous refugee policies in the world. the. by seem stitch by
7:02 pm
stitch it is phoneys making a new dress she recently trained as a seamstress as part of a u.n. refugee aid projects in 2016 she fled with her family from war torn south sudan to uganda. on our way or the rebels came they took our property tortured us in different ways and beat us. liberals it's like millions of others from south sudan edith and her family found refuge in uganda refugee a.t.f. functions differently people aren't simply confined to a camp like in kenya refugees who were arrive here are immediately given a work permit and land which is provided by the communities and then you neighbors they also receive monthly benefits. we have cash on foot as well because when we give them food get that is restricted to the 4 that we've given them but when you
7:03 pm
give them cash you have the option to buy and supplement whatever that debt that that is so it's option. ugandans have a strong willingness to give to those in need for 20 years they also suffer during the civil war they also benefit from international aid which can be used to build hospitals or schools but of course there are still challenges. as a young school we have enormous talent is one of it is the 1st drug. like the classrooms are not and now we don't have science a laboratory we don't have a labor though we have the books but we haven't know where to put them there are so that it has moved from far distance to camp so the north stuff does then also the students especially they go more from far distance to come and learn in this school nobody who missed school is in a jew money district in the north of the country 400000 people live here half of
7:04 pm
them are refugees some of whom arrived here 50 years ago many of from south sudan where the most recent civil war broke out in 2013 it's led to an ongoing conflict between rival factions titus jogo the refugee officer in the district is happy that the refugees were able to find a new place to call home in uganda he believes it benefits the locals to the prisons over to some an interview was mindy's so many people have been employed not not not in a city from disobey strict about it we swear under we pay a tax when you look at the infrastructure development we have constructed access wards in that if you set them as well constructed schools of course structed had to say. but there are also negative aspects rizzo's is like would supplies on to when dealing in january this year almost $6000.00 more refugees arrived in uganda but it
7:05 pm
wants to keep its borders open and can only manage this influx with the help of aid money at least for the time being as uganda's policies continue to be pushed into action it's hoped that refugees will become self-sufficient like seamstress aegis phony. an earlier date of use on your killer spoke with the un's high commissioner for refugees for the programme did. he says greater international cooperation is needed to tackle the root causes of displacement nearly 71000000 people worldwide are displaced all refugees are high increase in numbers compared to last year what other reasons. the main one is inability to resolve conflict to put an end to wars old wars chronic wars new wars new crisis unless this is addressed to gether unanimously by the international community we will continue to
7:06 pm
see these figures rise how should the world leaders address the situation by working together we have seen that even in the crises that have caused the worst humanitarian problems like syria like libya like yemen we have not seen unity on the part of the international community unless there is a unity in the security council where germany sits and tries to encourage a disunity in other fora unless there is this unity of intent we will not solve conflict and we will continue to inflict the consequences of conflict on millions of people that make these very difficult choice to leave behind everything that they hold dear and go into exile. about half of the refugees are children what impact does it have on their lives that they have to grow up in a situation like this and isn't that a dramatic element of this whole situation children do not make choices they just
7:07 pm
leave because it's dangerous for them and the dangers are multiplied by their fragility by their exposure be it to disease be to hunger especially in some situations be it to exploitation and abuse which sadly we see in many of these conflicts and another thing that they think is very important education you know being on the move being in exile makes it reduce. your chances to get a good education and we can only imagine what generations of children without education may mean so we really need to act on all these things at the same time. a huge number of people are refugees at the same time a lot of countries trying to close their border what is your message to those governments this is the result of the political manipulation that has been made of this movement of people forced movement of people presenting there must threats presenting them as people that are coming here to steal our jobs and to threaten
7:08 pm
our security instead of presenting them us people the needs of solidarity and support and instead of being strategic in trying to address the root causes i agreed that we want to put an end to this phenomena and i also believe that 71000000 is a big figure but when you look at the world $7500000000.00 people it is a manageable figure you can only be managed by working together by the dramatizing the whole issue of refugees and migrants and by being strategic about looking at the root causes if we start working in that manner and not continuously put back the issue into the political domain we will make progress for the people affected and for all of us. hi commissioner thank you very much. a saying now about some of the other stories making news around the world. a kenyan court has found 3 suspects guilty for their role in a massacre at always a university in the country's northeast the men were also found guilty of belonging
