india myanmar share a long border in times like these people have often fled across the border into india to escape the authorities but the indian government is not happy with the influx of refugees it has ramped up border security to stop them. cured and thousands have sought asylum since the late eighty's refugees are disappointed by india's lack of support the voluble friends and relatives back home as internet shutdown slowed regular updates to just a trickle. requests for information have been pouring into james. who heads a refugee support group the group has written to indian prime minister nadine's more be urging him to condemn the putsch as a democratic country they are shocked by his silence it is india's side. the violent. human rights violation you know the way the military tortured the

people. in the street and dead body and all but india is doing nothing. any feels helpless in her safety because she can do nothing for those back home but she believes that the international community should speak up. sisters and brothers have to defend themselves against the military with their bad hands they don't have any c.v.s. please i beg other countries to help my and mob citizens even before the cool any new myanmar good never be safe again she values that if things remain as bad as they are far too many people in her home country will end up feeling the same. we can speak now to gotham occupy the he's

a former indian ambassador to me and maher as well as to afghanistan and to syria mr ambassador thank you very very much for joining us out here on day we heard we heard refugees in that report there saying they're disappointed with india for not taking a stronger stance why is it that we haven't seen the in an indian government explicitly denounce the screw and also the violence that we've seen from the military junta. i think the indian government's reaction has been one of the i think the latest statements have been have condemned the violence in general that india has stopped short of on the mission but as expressed deep concern and voiced you know they've done of democracy for respect of the election results and also you know condemn the violence perhaps it may not have more as far as many other countries particularly you know other countries that do not share in magick newsgroup. has certain compulsions that stem from being just

a close neighbor he has stakes and compunctions in myanmar the village from security issues you don't have security external security we have insurgent groups in the northeast it's you know that border to magician issues are trying junction with modern china is right or fine. you know interests relating to development as well as in fact keeping on tax. time ago that have been viewed with great difficulty you would have time actually to use them in a diplomatic we do to make realized to make the regime realize that the medium is the ok and i think that's the action has if in light of the issue countries it's ok mr besser ander stand the need to keep those channels of dialogue open to the military junta but india is not only a neighbor it is the biggest a moccasin the world is an incumbent upon india to take a strong stance here. that of course i mean as i said you know it is an evolving

situation we have seen india's position you don't get more critical time and i think we should give it a little more time i think in india there is a great consciousness and awareness about the pain that the myanmar people are suffering there is very little justification for the kind of violence or you know that even for them to have taken place i think you know this is a situation where in fact really it's not just india the international community's response has been poor even us here on beaches that kind of natural partner to be able to do something about this has not been able to really do much so i think india has is is looking for evidence in which of course impact on the situation favorably for the people of myanmar and please note that all our statements have been in favor of that in a democracy and that is the consideration that the government of india is and what about the disappointment of refugees who feel like they are not welcome in india at the moment as india not want refugees from myanmar. you know india has had

a tradition of accepting the few years from now and that tradition to continue as you know particularly in the northeastern states that one of the people who have been built mean if you even do 'd the central government may have issued a circular actually doing or discouraging refugees from coming and that maybe because you know they just simply unprepared for. different influx in that in reality this policy is being implemented in the you know you know even some more you can see it with not relaxed but in a lenient manner and many to few g.'s upcoming movie and get in shelter. in the northeast you were as we mentioned in fact much more. we met my wife or my boss at our italian market and i want to ask you what a position you would take in right now you must be concerned by what you're saying and being are if you were the ambassador a moment what position would you take. thank you no i don't want to prejudge my

government on this but i think the statements that have been coming out of i've been getting stronger i think i would like to 1st get them that give diplomacy a chance this diplomacy can be jointly with other particularly asian countries which have states and have it with these union money it's really countries leaving individual lots and countries japan 2 countries that being much come to mind the fact that you know they may have nothing may have happened so far does not mean that the government is not. you know is not looking for such an opportunity or the oil is not keeping an open mind perhaps it is just a little you know a little work to be done but you know we have signed up for statements under the cord which have been critical and have made special mention of the situation in myanmar so i would not get a place i think that under the disappointment is understandable perhaps they would like something stronger and faster but i would not get it today is definitively not

that it today is the indian this owns and sympathetic to the people of we'll have to leave it there because the market by the former ambassador of india to me and marcellus to afghanistan and syria thank you so much for joining us on day 2 of you just with and now the kremlin has defended a troop build up along russia's border with ukraine calling it a territorial right german chancellor angela merkel had asked president vladimir putin in a call on thursday to pull back its military from the conflict zone the u.s. has russia now has more troops there and then it did in 2014 that was when a conflict broke out in eastern ukraine after the country's pro russian president was ousted in a popular uprising it craney of forces have since been fighting to regain control of the wage and from post pro moscow separatists. the russian state television offers a different way of looking at things it reports that ukraine and nato pose a threat to russia and not the other way around. the narrative presents ukrainian

soldiers as the aggressors and shows video footage of moscow's response russian troops engaged in military exercises in crimea. what to the west looks like saber rattling is viewed differently by russia from moscow it's a necessary reinforcement of its defenses against the west but young. for bush and the majority of the ukrainian military understand the fatal consequences of any actions that would lead to conflict. i hope they won't be provoked by politicians who in turn are being provoked by the west especially the united states. that the ukrainian president volodymyr selenski sees western troops especially those provided by nato as essential backup for his own forces on. the mission here. and it starts now there's an escalation in the donbass region it's a bunch everyone can see it when our soldiers are attached and there are casualties

obviously we must retaliate i mean if you put it that. a few days ago zelinsky paid a visit to nato secretary-general un stoltenberg selenski stressed that the western military alliance is ukraine's only way to end the war in don't pass experts in moscow say that statement would not have gone down well in the kremlin. any cooperation between ukraine and nato any help from the north atlantic alliance is a red flag for the kremlin. but that doesn't mean that all members of the alliance welcome ukraine's desire to join nato as soon as possible. no further steps towards membership are not on the agenda. a clear statement that gives many in russia hope that a war is preventable. the people of donbass are less optimistic though the pro russian separatists insist they don't want war either. useful if ukraine takes the

1st step nobody knows where it will end. which of. the kremlin is doing all this to blackmail ukraine and the west. if truth be reinforced if they're still asian continues even a small provocation will be enough to set things off with unpredictable consequences. russia's defense ministry says this footage shows recent exercises if the situation escalates t.v. screens may soon be showing the real thing. let's bring in our correspondents on the story eerier chateau is in moscow and david stern is in kenya welcome to you both here let's start with you it was suggested in that report that there are saber rattling on the behalf of russia there that's part of this effort to blackmail ukraine and the west can you explain this to us.

there is a common belief here in russia that moscow doesn't really want to invade ukraine or to annex donbass as it did it 2014 with crimea moscow rather wants as soon as possible don't bust to be a part of ukraine fully integrated into ukraine bought into that screw crucial and the largely russian control through that political control in the eastern ukraine the criminal could put pressure on all ukrainian politics that seems to be the main geopolitical goal for the kremlin with a bedroom to the ukrainian president selenski is about to change his strategy towards russia fundamentally in the beginning of his presidency the presidency he pledged dialogue with moscow now he's going a different way seeking and nato membership for ukraine which is a red flag a no go for the kremlin the next reason is that the remarkable pressure on the prague kremlin politicians in ukraine at the moment all kremlin friendly t.v.

channels are closed to be put in the last one of his last tools of influence in ukraine and is now likely to take revenge and finally there are parliamentary elections in russia in a few months probably the kremlin needs and you have gender that distracts from the real problems and seeks an enemy outside ukraine seems to be the best candidate for it let's get the view from kiev now david you know ukraine earlier this week called on nato to create a way for ukraine to join the military alliance what did you make of that. he said 1st of all that this is a switch from previous position of presidents alinsky when he was a presidential candidate in tripoli after he called for a referendum to determine whether or not ukraine should join the alliance but i've been speaking to people who are talking to people in the administration and they say this reflects a frustration in a certain puzzlement over the what russia is ringback up to selenski is basically that he wants a deescalation in the east when he ran for president he said he wanted to bring the

war to the end to an end and all to stop the fighting at least and but at the same time the peace process that has been going on has reached. an obstacle and now we're seeing this build up in the east so that the nato membership which also it should be said is not on the cards for any time soon this is a distant goal is sort of a reflection been told of running out of other options but how much willing their willingness is there in ukraine for a further escalation of this conflict. well i can say with certainty that there is no willingness at least among the population on the war has been going on for 7 years now to 14000 people have died as i said before let's get made it also clear in his public statements that he sees there's no military solution so. at the same

time though the ukrainians and western diplomats throughout european and elsewhere 'd there's a consensus that russia is very much a party to this conflict that they are supporting orchestrating the fighting in the new korean territory in the east so i guess you could say that the general feeling among ukrainians and government people that talk to him is one of extreme worry that this in fact will lead to next on the russians part and yury has russia are given any indication how long it plans to keep its troops at the ukrainian border well not yet so if it's clear it's a lot to put its armed forces to wherever it wants as long as there's any on on that the russian territory no one can force russia to withdraw its troops for the russian problem russian point of view also russia could face further political loss if it disregards donbass now because of the donbass crimea could be the next issue but russia risks to get involved in

a real big war with almost the entire western world because russia has no allies or even sympathizers in the west so the consequences have a lot of a putin could be absolutely unpredictable and it may be catastrophic therefore it would be better for everyone if moscow stops its separate lincoln as soon as possible and withdraw its troops will entirely maybe just before let me put in state of the nation on april 21st or shortly after that that could be at least remarkable day but until now there is no sign off any willingness for this our correspondents on the story or a chateau there and moscow david sterritt in kiev thank you both very much. ari and we have some breaking news coming into us now britain's prince philip the husband of queen elizabeth has died at the age of 99 windsor castle has just confirmed that he died this morning his health had been deteriorating in recent months with several visits to the hospital philip was a member of the greek and danish royal families before marrying

a lizabeth in 1947 we'll go live to london for the latest in a moment but 1st here's a look back at his life. prince philip juke of edinburgh the husband of queen elizabeth the 2nd. always a test side or a few steps behind that was royal protocol for the british prince consuls the couple was married more than 70 years the former royal navy officer lived an eventful public life that was occasionally seasoned by his sharp tongue and the dry humor. he was born prince philip of greece and denmark on the island of cool food in 1921 but despite his family's irish to credit background money was often in short supply his parents divorced and philip ended up in england where he began a career in the royal navy at the outbreak of world war 2.

he met the future queen for the 1st time in the 1930 s. he was 18 and for and lizabeth just 13 at the time it was reportedly love at 1st signs her parents were nonplussed with the prince of humble means but elizabeth persevered in 1947 shortly after the war the 2 were married. their 1st child prince charles was born the following year the family lived on the island of malta where phillip was stationed as an officer but the death of the british king george the 6th in 1950 to change their lives dramatically. elizabeth became queen phillip the prince consort soon became well known for his quips he was even reported to have asked the queen after her coronation where did you get the hats that won him

a warm place in british hearts that he wasn't fond of playing the role of an extra in countless televised appearances was no see. krit still he fulfilled his duties with an elegant if sometimes delegate distance. award ceremonies receptions. philip was never without a joke of some kind even when he was given a set of headphones as a gift to do good produce through focus was. the death of princess diana 997 was an anguishing low point in the life of the women since. the monarchy faced days of mounting disapproval until queen elizabeth spoke openly of her grief what do you feel it was a source of strength to the queen. or for me as we went through the food. closures and tribulations of bringing up children or nephews somewhat both

but i think all children of the world live in a different and difficult and demanding circumstances. his descendants including prince charles next in line to the throne and grandsons william and harry stole the royal heritage through the many highs and lows of the early 21st century. prince philip held the british crown longer than any other prince counseled before him in the course of 70 years he visited over 140 countries and gave more than 5000 speeches will be remembered the world over for his calm irreverent ways. let's go right to london correspondent charlotte shell some tell is standing by for us charlotte as we said windsor castle now confirming that prince philip has passed away at the age of 99 what more can you tell us about what you're hearing there.

yeah that's right we've had a statement from the royal family and noun saying that embarrassed poncing it says with deep sorry the majesty the queen has announced the death of head beloved husband his royal highness the prince philip cheek of edinburgh and his royal highness has passed away peacefully this morning wins the consul now we are expecting more of a statement from the palace on that we're also hearing that the prime minister is due to give a statement outside downing street as well obviously we're expecting not to be an extremely somber moment the fessenden ister of scotland also joining those paying their respects already to this news she's tweeted that she's deeply saddened by the news that that you could get him for his dying she said i said my personal and deep consignments condolences and those of the scottish government and the people of scotland to her majesty the queen and her family so this news now just coming into

us we are expecting further statements like the ones i just heard and that statement from the prime minister here in the coming hours this has just been confirmed as you said charlotte but have you seen any reactions among the british public for example on social media how are people reacting to this. it's still very early days at the moment the news is just sinking in but as i'm sure you can imagine there will be. huge response here to this news what you have to bear in mind is prince philip is the old the oldest and by far the longest serving consul in the u.k. his his time as the husband of the queen has really defined will be in a huge positive of the modern era everybody here. knows stories about prince philip he's attended thousands of public events as well so we are expecting of course as i'm sure you can imagine a very big response from the public here this it wasn't totally unexpected news

though you mentioned that he had spent some time in hospital we know that he underwent a hans procedure so he was sent back to you tube to windsor castle last month now just a few weeks later we're hearing that he has now passed away we saw images assure a list of his many years at the queen side of him what do you think his legacy will be and how he has shaped the royal family. right will the queen herself said on their gold wedding anniversary that he was quite simply has strength and stay and i think that is a quote that we're going to hear a lot over the coming days as as we remember prince philip she went on to say in a in a speech then that the whole family and many this and many other countries owed him a debt greater than he would ever claim over the shell evan we've been hearing so

often how he was a modernizing figure in the post world war 2 era modernizing figure for the world family that is but of course he'll remember the remembered as well for his his no nonsense after huge the occasional gaffe as well through his time as the consulates . to the queen but this i'm sure will prompt an outpouring of grief period from the british public and despite the fact we've known he'd spent time in hospital a good deal of shock as well and there are very few people who remember a time before he was counsel to the queen our correspondent. there in london will be coming back to you again of course at the top of the hour for more on this news . and you're watching t w as we mentioned the breaking news britain's prince philip husband of queen elizabeth has died at the age of 99 this has been confirmed by windsor castle that he had passed away this morning as charlotte just mentioned his health had been

deteriorating in a recent months and we will have more coverage of the story for you at the top of the hour thank you for watching.

that i gently need solving well here are some of the topics coming up on the program. because friendly transportation diplomacy made in africa an example from kenya. popcorn and why it's not just for eating as scientists in germany we'll demonstrate this. on to you next of course of a shift in south africa you sparing young people to protect white life. but 1st a whip heads to namibia more than 20 percent of the country is on the course of asian management it is home to incredible variety over a rare and in danger of species of animal including the cheetahs the super fast carts need a very specific kind of environment to breed can't unmaintained the aborted temperature when it gets very caught the trouble is that they often live near

a rural communities and cause problems for people and their livestock now researchers hope for a way for farmers to drastically of course reduce their livestock losses without killing the beautiful big cards. a rare sight. in. the country has the largest free range in population. of t.t.'s in the world but according to recent research still the numbers are little. here the population is threatened because it doesn't occur inside of national parks but on commercially farm land there's obviously needs to conflict as the truth ok finally prey on livestock of the farms. teeters population numbers across africa have dropped to less than $7000.00 worldwide as the a habitat that's lost to farmland and how some core structure portion and illegal

trading caps pause a federal challenge and because she just attack livestock they also get killed by farmers. scientists from germany is like nets institute have found a way to reduce that conflict to spent more than a decade studying cheetahs in namibia part of their study involves putting video collis on the animals and monitor indian movements the team not is that the cheetahs always return to 7 areas of practice passed on from one generation to the next they visit these territories and mark read in the territory so we call this centers of the territories not the marquis trees are you called a communication helps because territorial males they used these trees and also the olders into region around so these territories very stable now always

there and even if the territory hold us does appear die then the new territory holders are on the exactly the same place this allows the scientists to identify areas where cheetahs congregate the then advice to farmers not to put a live stock in those places it's about 10 percent of the area that is highly dangerous because concentrations of the cheaters is not. and about 90 percent there is much less risky for the harm was. done to the families that have moved out of harm's way now there was far fewer i knew most of the big cuts. this simple adjustment reduced the livestock losses by more than 80 percent and that's off the conflict for the farmers and for the truth as in many cases. reducing the conflict between humans

and money mouse means more cheaters survive and that other benefits to these powerful pre-dates has helped keep the populations of grass under control thus preserve in a mental pain in the ecology called balance off. what incredible creatures and what a great idea to promote a peaceful coexistence between the well and the most and the humans on this report is about a really interesting venture in south africa it aims to help communities live alongside animals in the wild as well as offer professional opportunities it is called the truck a company and as the name suggests it trains disadvantaged rural people in the traditional skills of wildlife trucking. is it is sunny and. a looking for this special friends in the dense bushland of the level of north of

half a 1000000 modules built on metal frame. 119 posts . 250 kilometers of cable. 150 fishers working on behalf of one of germany's biggest energy companies. we definitely have the potential to complete projects of this scale but rather than size it's the viability of the project that counts. this solar park is the size of 225 soccer pitches facilities in europe tend to be smaller because they compete with agriculture. but solar parks alone aren't enough here in germany there are 19000000 apartment buildings and houses the loss of roof

space. and ideal place for solar panels. an entire industry has been built around to install and. now adays the systems are very affordable and economical to run since you basically don't have costs. have become so affordable to install that they quickly pay for themselves. out. moxa own the house with their roof tops solar system in many cases the system actually produces more energy than a household needs. as one of the things that makes it financially worthwhile is that the cost of heating your house or heating your water are pretty low. the equipment pays for itself in just

a few years. after that the electricity produced is essentially free. max baucus energy needs do exceed what he produces though that's because his family have 2 electric cars that need to be recharged. off. solar energy is expected to see significant growth interment. by the time the last coal fired power station is switched off and 2038 there would have to be 5 times as many rooftop solar systems on parks as there are now to cover energy needs. solar energy would then account for a quarter of the country's power i would push. back to germany's biggest solar park

project 10 years ago the operating company was one of the biggest nuclear power pretty sweet in the country. still run several coal fired plants but that will soon be a thing of the past. 39 interview in this new book these new energy sources will have to fill the gap they've become a central pillar in our portfolio. since 2012 we've seen growth in all new and renewable segments including wind both offshore and onshore as well as solar. these technologies will account for about half of our output by 2025 i need. the solar panels just keep on coming day in day as. talk so sustainable mobility tend to focus on the big cities in ways to reduce
