the most tragic load took place 4 years back where 8 people were shot the shooter shot himself in the end as well in a restaurant but it's very rare to have shootings like this we know that there are about 300000 license in the country as an e.u. directive which is making it harder to own firearms so people like to have guns but shootings are extremely rare. now to the international court of justice in the hague where hearing into accusations of genocide and nian maher is underway the country's de facto leader aung san suu kyi arrived to defend the myanmar military campaign against their will hinge on minority that campaign has been called ethnic cleansing vaulting mass rapes and killings so she is due to speak on wednesday now in france that she was not obliged to appear at the hague in person but chose to do so critics say her aim is to raise her profile ahead of elections and maher in the past few days her supporters have held large rallies many see her as

in front of my mother and 4 children was a job i started out by so all. my daughter was crying so they hit her on the head with a weapon out of their go to the time honored by so hug. i lost 8 of my sons and grandsons they were all but shot by the military. really thinking. the military burnt our homes. we were a family of 18 and they killed 12 by burning them alive. there were more than 2000 people in our village and all their homes were burned in monaco. and some suchi has long defended me and mars 27000 crackdown on their him saying a target militants and she'll do so again at the hague. and buddhists majority myanmar the scrutiny of the un's top court has stoked indignation. over there not just accusing one

person and me and mark they're accusing the whole country we absolutely believe everything that unsettle suchi does or will be ok. a decision from the hague over me on mars treatment of the ranger could take years a long and uncertain wait for justice for people that have already lost so much. the leaders of russia and ukraine have agreed to implement a cease fire in eastern ukraine russian president vladimir putin and ukrainian president followed a missile then ski were meeting for the 1st time to discuss the conflict which is centered on the donbass region in ukraine this is a region that is a currently held by russian backed separatists at the talks in paris the 2 sides agreed to steps aimed at easing tensions there 1st they've agreed to release in exchange all detainees by the end of the year they've also agreed to disengage military forces in the 3 of the regions in eastern ukraine and also to hold more

talks and for months a check in on progress on that cease fire the leaders made separate announcements at the end of the talks. a little this was a meeting was long and difficult but the mood was rather positive that's the truth and i really want to emphasize that point. we will continue the discussions in 4 months and see the results of what we've achieved at the. some of them this is certainly an important step towards deescalating the situation in eastern ukraine as well as easing tensions you know our correspondent nick connelly is in paris he was following the talks for instance and joins us for more hi nick so these 2 leaders have agreed to a prisoner swap and also to implement a cease fire how significant are these developments. well sue me this is not the big bang so maybe we're expecting this is i think in reality as much as could be expected these are measures that will create goodwill bring

prisoners back for the new year's holidays trying to aim for a stable ceasefire something that hasn't been achieved in years dozens of attempts the real sticking point is the same as it has been since the beginning because conflict who makes the 1st step who has to compromise 1st is a ukraine the compromise 1st by giving an autonomous status to those regions and allowing elections to take place before it regains control of those territories which effectively would turn the separatists into ukrainian politicians or does russia step back and allow ukraine to recurring control of its eastern border with russia and make sure that those elections happen according to ukrainian laws that is the question that remains unresolved here but the fact that they were able to meet 3 years and effectively agree to disagree and talk about things where some progress is possible that in itself is an achievement and this was the 1st time as well the leaders had met do you think that chemistry between russia and ukraine could have proven to the new ukrainian president. well this definitely was the

$1000000.00 question everyone expecting looking expectantly how this would pan out polygamous alinsky the man who this time last year was a showman a comedian up against vladimir putin who's been in charge of russia for almost 20 years. they were scrupulously polite to each other but there was no overlooking the tension the speculation about whether they shook hands or not no confirmation of that at the press conference you had selenski opposite ends of the table with merkel and mccall between them and very different accounts from the 2 presidents of what they saw to be the conclusion of this meeting so lots of space between them there but as i said an agreement to disagree and to keep talking and if that is something that we didn't see and the previous administration make one of the big takeaways going forward can we expect to see more momentum in this drive to bring peace to eastern ukraine. well the leaders have put pressure on they say they

will meet in the next 4 months at the level of the president and again that puts pressure on everyone further down the hierarchy to really deliver on these promises to deliver on the ceasefire. and i think that will really and they will some progress of all this time the bigger issue of russia and its relations with its neighborhood with ukraine which it sees as part of its backyard and somewhere where it has a right to influence that is not going away that problem has effectively been parked for the medium term at least now but what this is what this meeting and what these agreements allow israel very real tangible improvements for the people on the ground we talk about this conflict as a frozen conflict it is that in geographical sense the front lines haven't moved in years but this is very definitely a war people soldiers in trenches and civilians are being wounded and killed on a daily basis so if it is possible to really bring in a cease fire that really holds and ends the shooting troop withdrawals that means the troops are no longer a couple 100 meters apart but the part that really will have

a huge impact on 100000 about millions of people and allow people in eastern ukraine across the country to get back to some kind of normalcy. nic early reporting for us there in paris thank you nic now lawmakers in india's lower house have approved controversial legislation that could grant citizenship to religious minorities from neighboring countries but not muslims the law if approved by the senate on wednesday would grant citizenship to non muslims who arrived from bangladesh pakistan and afghanistan before 2015. this is the latest flashpoint for india's culture wars protesters in the northeast border region fear the government's new citizenship bill will beckon an influx of migrants by day time the anger hard boiled into rage. were blocked for hours at an effigy of the prime minister hung in the streets. if you did the led government is spending

december 1961 speaking as a minister of the church shortly before the christmas holidays he said made the day come to when the people of the world will rouse themselves and together effectively stamp out in this threat to peace in the lost of a quarter of the world it may be found when that day comes there shall be peace on earth and goodwill amongst men as was and by the angels of uprising as we said about to be awarded to man he's being recognized for his efforts to reconcile his country with its neighbor and longtime enemy eritrea he stepped up as a mediator in political crises in eastern africa and at home has also led radical reforms but his country still faces challenges following

a rise in ethnic violence. july 16th 2018 the unthinkable ethiopia's prime minister on every trend soil. the move shocked even his own officials. on the left reached across the divide and soon signed a peace deal with eritrea as president he says of worki restoring ties between both countries if you and eritrea are like estranged siblings they used to be one nation before eritrea's independence in 1903. between 10082000 before it over their shared border. it's estimated 80000 people were killed the war was followed by a standoff that lasted 2 decades. suddenly those barriers were broken with abby calling for unity. your.

dear people of ethiopia and eritrea. i would like to bow down and humbly thank you . because you chose compassion not cruelty. peace not conflict love. forgiveness after fighting embracing and not pushing each other away. the division had gone beyond geopolitics families had been separated against their will and only reunited after the peace agreement was signed. abby ahmed extended the message of reconciliation to sudan during a past drug between the military and the opposition there. at home he attempted to overturn the old order promoting free speech pardoning thousands of political prisoners and decriminalizing dissident organizations his nobel peace prize award

has not surprised many. one of the important things he did is to reconcile us with the people of eritrea even if some people argue that he doesn't deserve the price i don't agree with going out of. this country as an ethiopian and as an african i feel happy that he won the prize. but he seems passive about the uprisings in some parts of the country they have not been controlled as quickly as one would expect that's where his problem lies if you are the leader of a country you need to make sure the rule of law is respected. it's clear that despite the fanfare around the man not everyone has welcomed his reforms that ethiopia has become. a grenade

attack during a rally in the capital at this hour in june 28th. the prime minister escaped unhurt . he still faces the huge task of keeping the country united and peaceful even as its ethnic regions seek greater autonomy there is still a long journey ahead for you but under abbey ahmed the nation is charting a different course from the past. thank you for watching due to the news we're back at the top of the hour.
