a staggering new figure from the un's refugee agency the number of displaced people worldwide has reached a record high of more than 70000000 we asked the beat us high commissioner for refugees what's behind the increase and what the international community can do to reverse this trend. on my heart thank you so much for your company everyone dutch prosecutors have named 4 suspects in the downing of malaysia airlines flight m h 75 years ago the international team heading the investigation announced that one ukrainian and 3 russian men will face murder charges for their alleged involvement and shooting down the plane in july 2014 flight m h 17 was hit by a russian made missile while flying over ukraine all 298 people on board were
8:02 pm
killed most were from the netherlands. 5 years of inquiry have let the international joint investigation team to these 4 men igor gerken soju bensky or like pull out tough and lonely child janko investigators believe they're responsible for the death of 298 people on board flight m.h. 17 a malaysian airliner shot down over separatist held territory in ukraine deity for them to fear from the prosecution is charging these 4 men because we believe it was their plan their cooperation and actions in july 2014 that led to the downing of flight m.h. 17. need sell it even though they didn't push the button themselves there is a suspicion that they worked together to obtain the missile launcher and put it in position with the goal of shooting down a plane. the last 5 years have weighed heavily on the families who lost loved
8:03 pm
ones in the tragedy today the victims' relatives expressed relief that they can finally direct their anger. i just want to know the truth this is. what i would want it's. just this. our children and all the other things. but since russia and ukraine are unlikely to extradite the suspect just as for the families of the mh 17 victims will prove elusive let's get you more now on these long awaited findings by the dutch or prosecutor want to go to barbara hazel in brussels where she's been tracking the investigation for the past 5 years barbara why did it take so long to identify the suspects. the reason is because these are incredibly difficult investigations because it is hard to find proof at all no investigators can go to
8:04 pm
the areas involved to eastern ukraine where the plane was shot down and ask people in plays what did you see what happened that day during that day did you see anything did you hear anything they had to rely on mostly on data from the telecoms company cation from social media that more or less they received by ukrainian and other secret services now the main point is how reliable are those data they can be relatively easily manipulated so they have to be verified again and again and so we just think back after a painstaking process to reconstruct the body of the plane that took place in 2015 where like a big puzzle every little piece was put together they could be retrieved in order to prove that it was a book missile who had shut down this plane it shows the whole complexity of this case and the difficulties the investigators face right a mammoth endeavor indeed as you illustrate who are the suspects. there linchpin in
8:05 pm
this case seems to be a man called igor gerken he's a russian former russian officer connected to the russian secret service he was then the commander of separatist separatist forces the military commander of separatist forces in the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk in eastern ukraine so this is the man who obviously sort of connected and communicated with everybody else and he worked together with 2 for the russians and one ukrainian militia commander and these people are sort of like the middle ranking military's involved in transporting this book into eastern ukraine and positioning it and then after the plane the mh 17 was shut down very quickly and to sort of secretly sort of spiriting it away and bringing it back onto russian territory so these are the people who are now accused of murder because the nobleman say according to all who
8:06 pm
does something like that can be accused as well as the men who actually pushed the button on the missile they are going to charge these men but how likely really is it barbara that the 4 suspects will actually show a judge and be brought to justice. they will the 3 of them at least will certainly not face a judge because russia will not extradite and does not extradite its citizens the kremlin has vigorously again said we had nothing to do with this and this is all fake and we were not involved in the investigation anything so these people will stay in russia and they will just watch from far but of course the trial in absence of the accused is possible even a verdict is possible and there is an international. warrant against these people so that they cannot travel internationally anymore whether that is very satisfactory or not everybody has to decide for themselves only ukraine says that

they're going to trying to arrest their citizen who is involved in this what they will then do was in whether they will have a separate trial is not yet known birth of a self reporting from brussels thank you are you an expert says a saudi crown prince mohammed bin someone should be investigated over the killing of journalists. who report cites what she calls credible evidence that been some on and other senior saudi officials are liable for his death because she was a vocal critic of the saudi regime he was murdered at the country's istanbul consulate last year. the saudi journalist jamal as he arrives at the saudi consulate in istanbul minutes later the washington post columnist will be murdered inside the building by saudi agents now where you are an expert says his enemies at the very top of the government to blame the execution of mr cashel was the response
