you know what it's time old boy says. the 77 percent he told. the 77 percent this weekend on d w. this is a show coming up an island refuge a death trap. to send thousands of refugees to st island but it's remote. and unsafe so why does bungle this one to resurface refugees that. explain also coming up. and living in fear we speak to women who say india has moved. has made life harder for them.

welcome to do. it's good to have you with us. now this complex off the shores of. could soon be home to some 100000 brought in your 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 i'm here 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 ma today it is planning to send tens of thousands of them to an island in an area printing to slightly. bang that's not a matter 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 when the lose their lives if we go they will die help us to stay here and get it back you will let us but. 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 present and

a naval ship the sea was choppy but relatively calm for this time of the year. what is the longest period that you think ships might not be able to reach the item in really bad weather condition. talking morning. maybe one or 2 days or 3 days max if not more than that. we have never should never never stop nobody will be evacuated from this. that is because the navy says they have built sufficient protection against floods and to ration including a 3 metre high embankment. 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. yes. the people who.

like floating island. yes but that they don't understand their island didn't see the island and they do more about. providing. the islands 120 cyclists in 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 will part something to the knowing they will remember it for be a life. in the crisis we have if they come here it is paradise for burma 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 will they can the refugees earn 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 formed by sediments and make up an ever changing ecosystem we showed the footage we took to an expert in sea irrigation it's. not too. early. so. it can be. there. without an embankment but on china would be too dangerous for habitation experts t w contacted disagreed with the barriers high enough but the government seems adamant to relocate rohingya to the island. that we don't have space for them. if they're not really for them. and once the decision has

been taken refugees could be relocated in a matter of weeks even against their will. also ask bongo their 1st foreign minister about the refugee relocation plans he suggested the rohingya could be forced to move to the island even if the un objects what is the most extreme step you could take if the un disagrees with you kick the u.n. agencies out and. we. will do so to be clear if they don't support your plan of 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 out of it all good to see you and i we just heard boehner this is foreign minister there what exactly has the u.n. said about above. we have contacted their units here

a spokesperson in talking about the person declined to comment on passed on thought however we have got some off the record comments from some of the shells of the international aid agencies are working with rowing if you see it in 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 usually confirmed it to us is therefore the only option of the bottom of this government has to decongest crowded the coxes was all as you know bangladeshis an overcrowded country so the government doesn't have many options other than to look at ing them to die land prone to cyclons and natural disasters what surprised me is that the rohingya you foodies were living in the caucasus but their camps are not complaining marty about the living conditions there this seemed happy to live in the overcrowded camps and near the border radio of bangladesh and men might we see indicates that there is still hoping to return

to the country they think they belong to at some point bring it if you do so that we talked to one quick stay 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 hunger refuges but all of this has been doing a commendable job in managing more than a 1000000 refugees i would say and many international aid agencies have been supporting the country in this regard how about the attitude poor city food this is slowly changing in bangladesh 2 years ago they are welcomed by the government but now it looks like. them as a bargain and wants to get rid of them. out of a slum thank you very much for explaining to us. and there's more 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. 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. doesn't want have only made things worse. muslim bachelors should rejoice as they can now marry the white skinned women of kashmir. and that get off a flurry of social media posts from eager 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 tech talk that's when you 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 woman we have a few examples. 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 agency . to some speedy women walk of they've been done and you're well obviously if you 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 a cautionary woman who was there until recently visiting her family she's based on delhi and she actually cannot she says that women there are few really under threat take a look you have a quote if you if you radio a. piece of land. and it's like denying remender agency. i have a control over your border you know i would go to where you are and they know you might you know so she says that there's a sense of fear among the roman that they'll be sexually assaulted entourage it's really hard to know what's going on within to 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 the would be of them says they would still call for you to insist and they would be those so that they are able to

create noise in people from around the neighborhood. because i know so this tens 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 sophie bregman thanks so much for coming in and breaking that down for us. and you can go to our twitter address at news to watch that report from and cerebrum them and feel free to tell us what you think. that's all for now we leave you now with pictures from india as a gunman shot the 1st of the bridge celebrates the boats day of the elephant carnage thanks to washington.

where i come from we have to fight for a free press i was born and raised in a military dictatorship and just want to be a shadow and a few newspapers when official information as a journalist i have walked off the streets of many can trust and therefore all those are almost the same point to the social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press. corruption work on the 4th just a sign and when it comes to the fans of the film unseen or microphones who have

decided to put their trust in us. is. also a must. of drug bust in the u.s. law enforcement officials point to china claiming most of the lethal opioids is being produced in secret chinese labs prompting donald trump to open another front in the ongoing trade war with aging. and they say that imitation is the form of flattery but now a textile brand from cuba to stop western rivals from stealing its designs. this is business. as well when we talk about the trade wars usually about tariffs

on oil or oil or tronics or soybeans but it's also about one of the biggest drug problems the u.s. is facing at least according to u.s. president donald trump the opioid crisis in america is costing thousands of lives every year just days ago u.s. pharma company johnson and johnson paid a record fine for flooding the market with legal painkillers but trump says most of the illegal drugs especially fentanyl comes from china it's not the 1st time the u.s. has made here is asian and beijing says its basis paramedics in western pennsylvania are checking they have enough medicine available during the shift for people who've overdosed on fentanyl the synthetic drug is 50 times stronger than heroin and kills thousands of americans every year. u.s. authorities have long accused china of being the main source of the drug but the narcotics control commission in beijing says it's investigated chemical industrial parks and.
