culture. stereotypes clash in your thinking you said the country. needed to take this drama. it's all about. join me to meet the general. post. this. coming up and i didn't. want to send thousands of refugees to. want to research refugees there. also coming up. and living in fear. has made life harder for them.

welcome. it's good to have you with us. of this complex off the shores of bangladesh could soon be home to some 100000 rohingya refugees who fled ethnic cleansing in myanmar these shots sure the sheer scale of the project and on the ground the extent of the problems are also being bored into focus the low lying island of charter in the bay of bengal. is vulnerable to erosion and flooding human rights organizations have condemned the plan saying it amounts to sending the wrong to prison so what is it really like on the island a team of reporters were granted access and here's what they found. in the world's

largest refugee camp in southern bangladesh fear is rife 2 years ago the government welcomed the influx of breaking into a fleeing me and mom today it is planning to send tens of thousands of them to an island in an area prentice like living. thing that's not a mother we don't want to go to. because it gets flooded and then people will die children will be drowned for them it's another trap where they'll lose their lives if we go they will die help us to stay here and get it back. we lost our parents here to save our lives don't send us to pass on chance just kill us here. after lengthy negotiations with the authorities d.w. was taken to pass on charge by bangladesh navy which is overseeing the construction works to day we were accompanied by naval officers it took us 3 hours to reach president char on

a naval ship the sea was choppy but relatively calm for this time of the year. what is the longest period do you think ships might not be able to reach the item in really bad weather conditions leave this morning. maybe one or 2 days or 3 days max if not more than that. you have never she will never stop nobody will be evacuated from this. that is because the navy says they have built sufficient protection against floods under roshon including a 3 metre high and bank men. inside this space 410-0000 housed in clusters of identical shelters human rights organizations fear that refugees may be contained on the remote island for years. sometimes this island is described as a jail does that offend you yes. the people who.

like floating island. yes the bit that they don't understand i learned they didn't see that i learned and they do more about. providing. the island's 120 cycling shelters can be used as hospitals primary schools and community centers to provide security there will be police posts and cameras monitoring the island we were in part something to. remember it for be a life. crisis we have if they come here it is paradise for boom is there no doubt about that from what we've seen conditions here do seem to be better than in cox bizarre but questions remain around what daily life might be like will there be secondary education for young people what will they do all day can the refugees in their own living and will they be able to leave the island without a special permit and of course what happens here when a cyclon hits. didn't exist

20 years ago islands in the bay of being called performed by sediments and make up an ever changing ecosystem we showed the footage we took to an expert in sea irrigation. so. it can. do. without an embankment buzz on char would be too dangerous for habitation experts t w contacted disagreed with the barrier is high enough but the government seems adamant to relocate trucking get to the island. that we don't have space here. if they're not really going for them. and once

the decision has been taken refugees could be relocated in a matter of weeks even against their will. and also asked bangladesh's foreign minister about the refugee relocation plans he suggested that could be forced to move to the island even if the u.n. objects what is the most extreme step you could take if the un disagrees with you kick the un agencies out and. we. will do so to be clear if they don't support your plan it doesn't shy you will tell them to we have to make a decision and we'll talk to them. as one of the authors of that report he joins me now for more good to see you know we just heard by militias foreign minister what exactly has the u.n. said about above. we have contact at the u.n. i said

a spokesperson in talk about the person declined to comment on parts on thought however we have got some of the record comments from some of the shells of the international aid agencies are working with rowing if you see it in his budget they told us that there had been pressure from the government to include that i land in next year's plan several sources have indicated that there is a possibility of such a relocation in november but nobody off easily confirmed it to us is therefore the only option other buying that there's government has to decongest crowded the coxes was all as you know about another she's in a one crowded country so the government doesn't have many options other than you look at ing them to die land prone to cyclons and natural disasters what surprised me is that they're really good if you just were living in the boxes but their camps are not complaining marty about their living condition they're this seem happy to live in overcrowded camps and near the border radio of bangladesh and myanmar we

see indicates that there is still hoping to return to the country they think they belong to at some point during any foods is that we talked to one kristie in those camps unless they get a chance to return to myanmar citizenship provided what a lot of that doesn't look like is going to happen just recently in the past there was an attempt to return them to myanmar and hardly anybody turned up to go back so is it that is of bangladesh is looking at a continuing problem with the rank of refugees but all of this has been doing a commendable job in managing more than a 1000000 refugees i would say and many interestingly aid agencies have been supporting the country in this regard how about the attitude poor city food use is slowly changing in bangladesh 2 years ago they are welcomed by the government but now it looks like consider them as a bargain and wants to get rid of them. thank you very much for explaining that to us. and there's more our web site www dot com for what's left on how buying others

is coping with its refugees. how does india's move to revoke indian administered kashmir this autonomy what do women in danger those we've spoken to see they are living in fear of sexual abuse and harassment and statements such as this one from a lawmaker from the governing hindu nationalist b.g.p. government have only made things worse. muslim bachelors should rejoice as they can now marry the white skinned women of kashmir. and that kicked off a flurry of social media posts from indian men wanting to. media women the double reporter and sophie brennan from our social media team has been following that story and so we welcome what have you found out so we ducked really deep into a variety of social media platforms and especially on tick tock that's a fast growing video platform that as of june had roughly

a 120000000 active users in india that have videos popped up by indian men who are declaring the intent to do 2 things a by land on kashmir and be merry kashmir women take a look. at how. many . very. so twitter was also flooded with tweets of indian men declaring the intention to marry kashmiri women and on top of that day has released certain music videos and songs which they call patriotic pop and which have been shared hundreds of thousands of times these videos also celebrate the idea of getting a quote unquote fair skinned kashmiri woman like she's an object without any images of the year old. speedy women walk of they've been turned into well they obviously feel really objectified and asked upon it's pretty hard to actually reach anyone

within the region because of the lockdown but i spoke to a woman near a woman who was there until recently visiting her family she's based in delhi and she actually cannot she says that women there are few really under threat take a look you have a quote if you radio a. piece of land. and it's like denying women. i have a control over your border you know i would go to where you only know you might you know so she says that there's a sense of fear among kashmir a woman that they'll be sexually assaulted and harassed it's been hard to know what's going on with and of region because of the lockdown but there are independent journalists and reporters on the ground who actually have talked to women and they also say these women say that the indian military forces have barged into houses and they have harassed girls and women so these women are actually preparing for the worst as archie told me they would be of them. steve where you've

been since and they will be doing so that they are able to create noise in people from around the neighborhood company. so the sense of fear of being harassed by the indian forces coupled with the reaction by the indian man on mainland india they really are leaving these women in fear and making them feel really anxious and so very private thanks so much for coming in and breaking that down for us. and you're going to go to ultra to address news to watch that report from and cerebrum them and feel free to tell us what you think that's all but all we needed all the pictures from india has a festival which celebrates the birthday of the elephant and it's going to change thanks to washington survive. the fall.
