keep control of their country. well tom andrews is the u.n. special envoy for man maher he joins us live now from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed stephan being here with us on the news that tensions continue to grow on the streets more than 100 people were killed yesterday how much further will this escalate lord only knows i mean this regime this hotel this this military has shown that it has no limits on its level of challenge and its willingness to commit mass murder against its own people these are people that it should be defending and it short on them and as it is killing them and if i shudder to think where this where this leads and which you say the international community has failed the people of myanmar. i think the international community has not done enough there have been voices speaking very loudly of condemnation and concern. that's fine as far as it goes that quite

frankly i think those words are ringing hollow with inside of me and more everyone i'm speaking with they want to see a focused unified international action like the secretary general has called for and i think that means in a convening convening immediately the united nations security council have this open debate on exactly what the obligations of the international community should be and let nation to the security council stand up and be counted i think there also has to be among those nations willing to take action right now a coalition everybody there has to be unified coordinated sanctions a unified coordinated arms embargo and i think we have to take and immediately institute accountability mechanisms traditional mechanisms to hold these brutal leaders accountable for the mass atrocities that we're we're seeing i think clearly we have crimes against humanity being caused and committed right across right in

front of our very eyes and the question right now is what the international community is willing to do about it well miss andrews when you see a russian and chinese official supporting what's happening a man law for example moscow's deputy defense minister even visiting the minutes for yesterday does this not frustrate any form of international attempt to keep those to. get them from backing down. well of course it does but the fact is we have not yet had of vote in the security council security council has not had this crisis but certainly on its agenda and before that's exactly what has to have if russia or china or anyone else on the security council wants to veto or vote against foreign action ok stand up and do that but at least we need to be able to see where nations stand if you're on the security council you have an obligation to take action in nice precise circumstances and if you're not willing to do it ok then countries around the world who are willing to take action need to work

together in coordinated action and calling for an emergency summit of those nations to forge together a coordinated approach in which the various actions are linked together to have the strongest possible impact on this on this brutal military regime what do you think can be done to hold those accountable for human rights violations and also. go on trial for mass murder. i think there should be accountability there's no question about it there should be judicial mechanisms in place the international criminal court certainly there's universal jurisdiction regimes in many countries any one of those should be implemented but at the immediate moment right now we need to cut off revenue that the 100 has flowing into its coffers that is literally stealing from the people that mean the work and using that money to purchase weapons of war and give themselves the means to commit the this this these horrendous acts and we have to cut that revenue off you've got to cut off all

access to to to weapons to the greatest extent to test possible to make sure that revenue going into transit developed major humanitarian aid is not going to want to but through c.s. those organizations you've got a terrible position on the ground there are a number of action steps that we can take that the international community is not taking and must take the immediately if words of concern are not going to be more than just just words to the people of the me right that's un special rapporteur on man maher tom andrews thank you very much indeed for joining us here on news my pleasure now to 20 people have been injured in a suicide bombing outside a catholic cathedral and indonesia authorities say 2 attackers were killed on the island off the a c. the injured were attending mass to mark the start of east asia police say the attack ads have links to the so-called the sonic states and could be connected to other bombings in indonesia and the philippines.

the beginning of a still wake is a holy time for christians but in mecca the celebrations were marred by violence as worshippers were leaving sunday mass 2 suspected suicide bombers set off explosions outside the indonesian city's main catholic cathedral one of them was said to be a woman there's a lot of the lot of fact that go to court could happen during the shift change of prayer as the attacker was trying to enter our church and one of our staff was suspicious when the attacker was trying to stand near the gate. the bomb exploded it got me. president jerko we don't called for saying his government would ensure people of all faiths can worship without fear. oxy there are some other sport i strongly condemn the terrorism act and i have given instruction to the police chief to take down the terrorist network to the

root of some. of our car their places of worship in indonesia have been targeted before police are investigating if this attack is linked to religious extremism the majority muslim country has a history of islamist attacks indonesia has been on high alert in recent months following the arrests of the prominent leader of an extremist group counter-terrorism squads have arrested dozens of suspects across the country including in morocco. now thousands of people have been evacuated from a town seized by an armed group in mozambique survivors of one authorities are calling an islamist attack have arrived in the provincial capital pemba and they were moved from palau by land and sea militants are in control of the town french energy company total is building a multi-billion dollar gas facility that. correspondent

agent krish was in mozambique before the latest fighting began and is following those developments from cape town so what more do you know about this attack and is the government giving up control of its territory well as far as we know fights are still ongoing as evacuation attempts as you mentioned today vessels arrived in penned by the provincial capital that took about 2000 people from the fighting area mainly stuff off the company to a towel of the oil company so a lot of people are still stuck in high line and the south african media reports that dozens were killed already doing the attacks and at least one south african as well on friday it appears that a lot of people tried to flee from a hotel in a convoy and there were members by the militants so at least one of them was killed but up until this point there's a lot of unclear factors here there's little information because nobody can just get there to get information the government is restricting access to the area and they also on the give out any details they only confirm that there is an attack but

don't give out any other information that we know the same areas is quite scarce in terms of access now what exactly is happening in mozambique right now for can explain this to international audience. so the local people there called the group al-shabaab although they have nothing to do with al-shabaab the terrorist organization that is active in somalia instead there's a lot of similarities to the insurgency that we see in the eastern nigeria with boko haram you have a very poor part of the country actually the poorest part of the country a lot of people are unhappy that the government is not investing and the government is not listening to them then few of them are ready to lies and the security forces response was messed up force also taking their families and people who have nothing to do with those radical people and so they were nicholas what people thought the whole thing spiraled out of control and all of the government has been busy over the past months that they will everything is under control it is not it's basically just been quite successful in keeping journalists out and international observers

from the area but the situation is bad when we finally managed to get there last month we had terrifying stories from displaced people in the camps there you had stories of children who were taken away a father sort of the picture of a 16 year old daughter and said look they just took her away when you have to do anything awful you get stories of decapitating of villagers in front of the entire village and this just has been happening for many months it is still not clear though what the group really once but it appears that it's much more about power and influence than it is about religion. trace life rostering thank you very much the hundreds of trees being felt to provide a new roof things for the not tread on the cathedral at paris 2 years on from the devastating fire which gutted the medieval masterpiece restoration work is now underway and is to completely build an auction dominant time for the olympic games in 2020 seoul. they're dying so not too damn can live workers for the national

forest office have started to cut down 1000 oaks there are around 200 years old almost as old as the tower itself which collapsed in the fire and is now being rebuilt with these very trees. they get a 2nd life but not the beams will last for 20300 years so these trees have a very noble purpose we're very touched by that. it's a monumental task right now scaffolding is being erected so that the spire and roof can be rebuilt but the main task is to prevent further damage which. is in the final phase of danger prevention. at the moment we are securing some faults that could still collapse. and then there are the windows in the navy which have been removed germany has offered to finance the restoration of windows there's

initial confirmation that this offer will be accepted. some windows will be sent to germany for restoration and the other part of the money raised in germany will secure the restoration of other windows. so franco german cooperation is also taking shape president ma khan has set an ambitious timetable for the whole project is to be completed by 2024 by the time of the olympic games the trees mark an important intermediate step towards this goal their felling will be the symbolic start of the reconstruction of note. that samosa sports and the formula one as fans were thrilled to see a season opener in bahrain even if the when they came as no surprise defending champion those hamilton came out on top the mercedes driver held off stiff competition from red bulls max 1st up and to take the checkered flag hamilton's

attack not a single soldier has been stationed here to protect them up to now. it's been a year since military trucks entered the move an italian city of beginning to take away the coffins of thousands of people who had died from corona. the shock still runs deep among the survivors but there is also hope. don mario coming out the shares countless memories with many of the people laid to rest here. he was a member of the parish i was leading in vatican with the whole almost everyone buried in this section of the cemetery died from cove it this is the 1st time don mateo has visited it since the pen demick struck the region you know myth or not and you know. it's like going back months like reliving the moments of people who are no longer here you know she vehicle mancow you know just on

finish work to put to the. the body of people who are dying moments like that are now a thing of the past says dr who said joe and charity the pen demick is far from over but for him and his team there is hope with vaccinations on the rise and important lessons learned. dr on how to kept a diary his form of therapy as he says his accounts of being in the eye of the storm were printed in a local newspaper and moved many readers including the pope who invited him to the vatican. these pictures of the trucks leaving town loaded with bodies soon became iconic images of a tragedy that shook italy and the whole of europe to its core before their departure don't come to me not to use to give his final blessing to the deceased here at his church which was serving as a makeshift morgue at the time the community suffered is cut i mean at the stood by its side during the church bells to notify loved ones under lockdown at home

just crossed the border between mexico and the united states and they have been caught by the authorities a group of 57 immigrants most of them from central america once on u.s. soil they are looking for the border patrol not only because they are tired thirsty tango but also because they want to start the asylum process as soon as possible. a short distance from the natural order comes the unfinished fence that makes up one 3rd of the over 3100 kilometers tell the border the construction has stopped under the biden administration. i'm told said weise are friends they both grappa near the border for grandmother came from mexico his father as well in a time of no barriers between mexico and the united states. we want to make sure that they treat them well and we have kids we have grandkids some still babies so this is why it hurts to see them crossing. you saw they

were 7 or 8 years old this is why we're here you know as another possible. if i missed. the bus arrives to carry the young parents on their kids to the closest detention center in the middle of india i know that most and especially on at least one 150000 asylum seekers. with children have been caught in the past weeks and are being held under custody a big challenge for the current administration yes good at that i feel that biden wants to move forward and solve the problem because there are so many that have to be processed and at the same time make sure that they finally arrive in a safe place so little. because safety is one of the main reasons such forced them to escape from places where criminal activity is part of their every day. cameras are not allowed inside the detention center even basic information about

the number of immigrants and how long they're being detained is not released but pictures taken by a democratic congressman show that the conditions inside are terrible especially for kids the republican party is using this as a political tool against the biden administration and his party they're also portraying immigrants as a national security threat. once released its volunteers like rachel who guide that some young asylum seekers are being held in custody over the legal limit of 72 hours all this after an epic journey when all the said it was an odyssey suffering from hunger thirst i hope the sacrifice was worth it so good to be here out of doubt of quickly becomes a smile since their new life is already started. in brussels the european union wants to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities european parliament member country one seat and knows from experience
