they're not. i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia thank you for joining us 5 months of protests in hong kong have turned increasingly violent but if you wonder whether that's meant declining support for those demanding more civil liberties take a look tens of thousands of young and old alike turned out on sunday and in what has become a familiar sight police responded with water cannon trucks this one loaded with blue dye in what officials say was an accident as one of the city's main mosque forcing an apology from hong kong leader carrie lamb. that's the latest out of hong kong and through it all the message from protesters have stayed the same they do not

a seps the growing influence of beijing and they want to keep the freedoms they currently have. chosen tilt followed one man who's become a bit of a fixture at protests. at a.t.t. few could match his stamina but uncle wally is driven by own sense of responsibility. to work between who's a canon and tear gas on one side. and petrol bombs on the other. he doesn't shy away. instead he deschutes towards the front lines for morning until night weekend after weekend to protect those he says the fighting for the hong kong he's lived in is not. a more young have enjoyed years of democracy in hong kong but we're living in a new era the world has changed dramatically in the last few months. you're going to get back on what you enjoy or not but i got why are so many young people being assaulted by the police. or getting the police should be protecting people

hold on monday's are going to go with uncle wong is a member of the community group protect the children led by constable each turn they put themselves between the police and protest it's guiding the young people they aim to shield the way i think. but as every passing week worries move by the day the stakes get a little bit high and. i don't fear death not when the children are out here fighting for democracy and risking their own lives it's the responsibility of elderly people like me to come out and protect them if i feel i wouldn't be as yeah as tempers boil over uncle one wishes become the weeks of unrest have taken their toll on both sides i don't like every one of. them of to hold on to 2nd thought of running as

a passionate pro-democracy advocate uncle one please with police not to hurt protesters. if they're arrested and charged with pricing they face up to 10 years in prison and under general dividends if i was caught hard that's yeah the children just want to fight for democracy freedom and human rights the core values of hong kong and to prevent hong kong from becoming just another chinese city if we can help the young people to when the movement i will be very happy i will be able to die without regrets you know. going under oh you. were found by you oh involved are doing ok one says he'll keep returning to the streets as long as the protests continue. one man and his walking stick now an icon of the movement. it's a plan that's been years in the making but bangladesh says it will finally start

moving richenda refugees to an island called by sun char next month dhaka says it wants to transfer up to 100000 refugees to ease overcrowding in camps near cox's bazaar currently home to more than a 1000000 ranges who fled neighboring man march human rights groups questioned forcing people to some remote island susceptible to floods and cyclons. conrad was given rare access to the island just a few weeks ago she had this takeaway. from what we've seen conditions here do seem to be better than in coke's bazaar 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 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 site clone hits. lots more questions than answers when it comes to return to refugees state of the must conduct put some of those questions to bangladeshi

foreign minister a k abdul momen he was in berlin on an official visit. minister moment i want to ask you something about what you told the w in an interview back in august when our reporter spoke with you your government has built a new camp for regime got on bus on char and you want to resettle refugees there there's a question of whether they will go voluntarily and you said in that interview that if they didn't there's a possibility that they might be resettled by force did you mean that what is happening now actually you see we have it on 1100000 this disobeys people of my own minorities running we have given them temporary shelter in only 6800 dekker some plan in the world that then we have to destroy i would have let them and this is a hilly area so they thought and there was all indications from all the park us it is like to have more rainfall and if there is rainfall they don't lose possibility like afraid the few 1000 of them would perish in the likely in

a landslide so therefore our prime minister decided to reduce the condition and wreaks of life she decided that we could move 812-2000 families 100000 of them to one of islands it's a world built beautiful island where we cut into rio a lot of cattle said others so we thought we could book them but if they want to go only then we would because we don't want to force anyone we do everything to other way to force them back to my mother but we don't do that we said that if we would like them to go to that area and if they go there they will have some economic activity currently they have no economic to provide some fishing net some you know kettles. of chickens or even seeing machines by which

they can have some economic activity and yet the rohingya we have spoken to say that they don't want to go to bus on charged. because they're afraid that it's a low lying island they're worried about not being able to move freely this is this land has been you know has been there for a long time and we have created the the nordics now the land helped us in creating beautiful embankment and houses we have built houses none has ever been an undated in addition we have under sub we have built in a cycle in shelters and there are people living we we keep it away from the general public but people are living and we are living many capitals and doing farming up there so those fear is useless maybe because some people who don't want them to some n.g.o.s don't like to go there only because only because communication is only by river you have to take a boat to go there not in the road or on the tunnel so what will you do to convince

her hand got to go we've heard that now in cox's bazaar communications for example have been restricted some sim cards have been collected open now we are planning to open up a river road in syria road from long to russian char to some of the land you know. they will stop by at the bus and char so you think that will convince people to go if you open up this river the end your people are willing to go this ring of their own willing to go only problem is those who have been taking care of them most of the n.g.o.s there asked them not to go are you saying that n.g.o.s and not cox's bazar are trying to convince people to not go to buy sunshine because the end user having a good time and they live in a resort area cos of that that which is very close to the problem where we all dissenters and they live in the beautiful hotels and motels and it would be difficult for them to go to brush and charge here the take one half an hour drive

and come here and he says you too many is this the way they have to go to a few more hot and there have been good life. i want to ask you about me and mars' role in this there have been 2 attempts to repatriate to this point and nobody's shown up to these schemes do you think mian are really wants to take back we're going to do you get the feeling that they're not being a comet is your feeling well i'm asking you you see our feeling is they will take them back because in 1978 in 1902 in 190255000 crossed over to our land and we gave them temporary shelter and the troop through discussion and dialogue mine and i took the most of them the took around 230000 left around you know $25.00 or $21000.00 so this time was mine money greed and the promise us to do with the would like to think them after vilification us and we may we signed to the arrangement and both are in me and said they will take them back but we put one condition we want them to go back

in safety and security and in dignity and on one to have we want them we want to have as free mobility for them within the time problems they said they will provide safety and security and free mobility and i'm quoting the only. people and in my market been there don't trust into the trust deficit they really get displaced people don't trust their food we made this addition to my family we said ok to help improve their cars why didn't you engage in some non military civilian observers in did a kind problem and then maybe from those countries who are your friends like a prosperous countries that's maybe india maybe china so that these people get is sure that they will have safety and security for deportation and reintegration one

more question minister a moment you mentioned india and china do you feel like bangladesh has really been left alone by the international community also by its neighbor system what is essentially a very big. challenge not at all we the whole intention come into have been very supportive of us look at that they're all helping us including india and china china has become a party in the deportation process so what prompted you to think like that we after giving them this shelter who are even in germany they haven't that they have been come very supportive of us because we did it something which is unknown in the world humanitarian out of human you know humanitarian conditions we allowed them to take a unique think we did and everybody is supporting even this arrangement the helping them everyone comes up with help and support and better ideas of way so we are not a total left we gain international reputation international support because of this
