melissa chan welcome to news asia thanks for joining us in bangladesh there is serious concern about the growing influence of militant groups in revenge or refugee camps around 3 quarters of a 1000000 written just fled from myanmar's reckoning state following a crackdown by the myanmar military in 2017 most of them now live in bangladeshi camps and militant fighters who crossed the border with them have brought along the violence. the rippin era con salvation army or are so for example is reportedly murdering and assassinating inhabitants who are already vulnerable and poor and engaging in criminal activities with relative impunity. night time in bangladesh strange accounts young men patrol the streets on the

lookout for criminal gangs we've heard tales of murder the duction and rape. we're defying the curfew on our way to meet a woman whose husband was shot dead nearby. on the. moment. my husband used to fight for their own hinges he had no been here for everyone's problems and wanted to stop the lawlessness and the camps that's why some people felt insulted. my. protecting the woman's identity we cannot say who he was but one thing is clear he angered a powerful group operating in the camp out in a my husband was shot after evening prayers those who killed him are members of the our country hinges salvation army. but before we can ask any further questions about the militant group our fixer tells us it's time to leave.

guides us along the back alley ways to make sure we aren't being followed. once we reach our car he disappears. we want to meet a member of the militants that our guides was so afraid of it took weeks for contact arrange an opportunity in a secluded spot outside of the camps we can't verify if the man really is who he claims to be but his story checks out with other accounts he doesn't want to space filmed he's too scared his commander might find out he gave us an interview. some people came to our village and asked whether we want to govern ourselves they told us you don't have any rights in your own country we're here to help you take control of your land if you agree come and join us that's how they convinced us

they also gave us arms training after that so i joined the group. that was in 2017 shortly after he joined the conflict between us and the me and my army escalated forcing hundreds of thousands of ranger to flee to bangladesh among them oscar and surgeons like this man today they are trying to impose strict rules in the camp that is incredibly. trans informants for myanmar in the camps they are killed. women also threatened. if we see a woman dressed incorrectly and if we see her arms we can hit. in the capital dhaka we confront the foreign minister with the stories we've heard it was like it was a little bit like those in bangladesh there was in the in my ear if there

is any became up up and we'll send that we're going to mine. the militant tells us that up to some 3500 fighters live in the camps a figure we can't verify and we want to know why he agreed to talk to us. if we cause trouble and kill people here the government of bangladesh will also start killing us that's why i disagree with us as actions here but i want to fight in myanmar for a long. movie people. faced with the might of the me and my army across the river this isn't a fight they are likely to win the stage is set for a refugee crisis that isn't going away soon. joining us is a tall islam who worked on the story are factual it seems like in the absence of a fighting photo our so who used to fight the military in myanmar wants to continue

fighting now they were once considered by some as freedom fighters but have these sensually just become bullies with guns. it looks like some of the some you can sort of becoming friends today day by day because they're not getting any chance to fight in me and my stock in your state this is a phone call why one of those fighters decided to give us an interview he doesn't want to create any trouble in bangladesh he fears that bomb of the security forces missed killing them if they do so in the country instead he said our social points in crit only spike in myanmar he told us that some 2500 quite a source irritating indeed if you can send that group so if somebody 100 fighter secretly crossed tonight putting forward military training but he also conceded there was little a school photo any larger scale at that it's given there to the group black immunization now it's very interesting because in the report the bangladeshi

foreign minister denied ourselves presence in those camps why do you think that is especially because the evidence seems to show otherwise you guys spoke to someone who claimed to be part of our so one of the shelter to start trying to avoid conflict with any needling countries so the government doesn't want its studio to be used by any foreign militant group it insists on a peaceful solution to the growing debt crisis this could be the reason why the foreign minister of one of this category of kelly denied any outside activities in his country tell us a little bit more about the volunteer patrols how well equipped are they what happens if they meet a militant are they even properly armed and also is the government stepping in to stop any of the violence as well regardless of whether they say it's arson or another perpetrator. no volunteers. they basically don't have any

ability to astound agonist any armed group what they can do in such a situation is to inform security forces that won't keep so they can react quickly we hear good so models have direction and raping the camps and their involvement distance their night and really get the fuses straight to have good going out of that period said knight who saw the security forces frequently crewing the idea there have been too poor so frequent gun fights between criminal gangs and security forces to be sent to at least cut including getting food use have been induced to gunfight since the model for the local politically active use don't quit the 2nd august in courses buzzer allied groups have ecu is to bungle this full use of still using gunfights as a cover for that extra judicial killings off mainly suspects in drug smuggling and the moderates in the area sauce incidents take ransacked night ira flatow islam

the researchers say the tail could have a variety of real life uses. for people who do work involving heights for example. people who've lost their sense of balance then go home but he told me that i've seen prosthetics being widely applied video enough and i think it would be nice to incorporate this prosthetic tail into everyday life when it's further developed as an option for those who need a little more assistance and balancing the offer to united that you know you know because. for now the tail will remain in the lap while the research team look for ways to make it more about race of course of all the folks. that's it for today you can find war stories on our website and on social media we leave you with pictures from china where spectacular light shows are being staged to mark the upcoming
