4:31 pm
saying they gravely concerned over the recent escalation of violence in me and my. but is there anything they can really do about it? ah, i've been for solon, nice to have you along. malaysia is under international criticism for deporting refugees back to me about the military government there to power in february last year, launching a brutal crack down on regime critics. thousands of people have died. malaysian immigration vehicles have been filmed, transporting refugees to naval bases for deportation. the expulsions include foreman naval officers who were seeking asylum. the un office says the deportations are a violation of international law. you and hcr the when refugee agency is seriously
4:32 pm
concerned about the continued deputation by malaysia of asylum seekers from me and my back to their country placing lives at risk. you and hcr has received multiple disturbing reports of these 1st returns of me on my nationals for malaysia since april this year. and these includes people who are seeking international protection and the last 2 months to learn. hundreds of me and my nationals are reported to have been sent back against their will by the authorities. people can not be returned to places where they face threats to bad life, liberty, and face harmon, danger, and this is why our appeal is so christian. se asia corresponded, dave, whom bound can shine like on this story? what sort of a welcome can these deportees expect in me in law? do you think well, anyone who has tried to leave the army, the navy is doom. i mean the best case scenario for them would be prison and very, very possibly prison torture death. the me,
4:33 pm
m r. army does not tolerate any division in the ranks any break in the rank, and this will not only be intended as punishment for the actual soldiers or sellers, but the send the message across the rest of the tap and all that. how many of our military is referred to inside the country to make it very clear that you better be on board with us and you better stay on board with us. as far as the people who are not from the military on the government, going to look as she say, the military government is going to look and see where any of these people active participants in the resistance movement or any proof that they were supporters of the resistance movement, and anybody's in that category, certainly president and again, possibly torture on. and then anyone that they can clearly defined in their own minds, the military government that these were true civilians. just try know leah as an unpleasant situation. their community knows people may and that very well being eventually sent back to the communities that they were trying to flee from. we were
4:34 pm
just looking at some of the protest pictures. i mean, isn't a message already? crystal clear? a human rights expert has reported the conditions have gone from bad to worse to horrific and, and some of the figures had to run through some one point. 3000000 people are now displaced inside me. in my 28000 homes are destroyed, villages burned to the ground, and over 13000 children killed. how much was, does it have to get well, it could get considerably worse and these next few months. and one of the reasons for that is because we're transitioning now inside myanmar, from the rainy season to the dry season. and why is that significant? because if you look at past history, and keep in mind year that the member army long before the coo, that took place last year, they've been fighting and surgery movement inside the m r insurgencies going back for decades. and if you look at the history,
4:35 pm
it's during the dry season when the fighting really gets to its worse. so if past history is an indicator is bad as things are now and there's no indicators of the national community is really going to be able to stop this, the prognosis for the next few months. right now you have to say is not good week. it's these things get considerably worse and they are now when it comes to trying to stop the regime. let's have a listen to the winds response to economic sanctions and a weapons embargo on me. and mom. the international community should be coordinating their average to target them and then work together to implement these, these, these measures. it has not, it's not being done now, not because we don't know how to do it. we know how to do it. if you want a playbook, look at ukraine, there's a, there's a connection between the people of me and more, and the people of ukraine, among them is the fact that some of the very types of weapons that are being used to kill people in ukraine are being used to kill the people of me and more and they
4:36 pm
come from the very same source. they come from, they come from russia. they've, can you tell us more about that? yes, so tom and use the un human rights, special rocket for me on mar, he has identified in his team. i find that since the crew last year, russia, china and serbia have been providing weapons to the me. i'm our military now. russia, there are a huge supplier there, particularly when it comes to attack aircraft where we saw, i don't know exactly what the fighter jets are, type things we're using strike just within the past week that killed these 50 people, including a number of civilians are recently. but russia is one of the big suppliers of attack just to be on our army. so you certainly got to, it's going to be very difficult though with thought that the army, they're going to do whatever they need to keep the weapons they need coming the type of weapons they get, promotion trying to serbia according to the un special right. but turnkey fighter jets army vehicles, rockets and artillery. now someplace that might be,
4:37 pm
that might be able to have some more success with is trying to stop the money flows that go to the generals. you know, in ukraine they're such a huge coordinated effort from the west on that one. but when it comes to sanctions on the me, i'm our army. a lot of those sanctions have been sort of peace now with different countries actually sort of independent from one another. so they've got to try and cut off the access to the money flow. that means money to get from oil and gas. what do they get from timber, gemstones and rare earth? those are big natural resources that the patented, all the me, i'm, our army is getting money from somehow to the national community. we've got to find a way to stop that. just briefly. me and my is cooperating with the international community on one front at least in seeking humanitarian aid. but that's no surprise is it? when a food crisis is looming? thanks to its actions that at 130000 ranger detained in camps. yeah, so if you look at the 5 point plan, they came out a year and
4:38 pm
a half ago that the army at the time agreed to with the association of the page nation. one point was humanitarian assistance. the other 4 points, there's been no progress on at all, but humanity systems, there has been limited progress on. and that's the me army, that's the way they want to certainly know that some humanitarian, the 3rd area. but they are trying to break down the resolve not only the resistance movement, but they want to make things so difficult for the civilians as a whole that they just want to try and get out of the situation to try and get anything would be better than that, that's how the army have operated for decades. so yes, we've seen some, some movement on the manager and assistance, but it's linda. mood only goes from a places where the m r army alive and not to everywhere where it's needed. but other things from that point, ma'am i came out a year and a half ago that my army agreed to on the time and then walked it back shortly after there's been no into my hostility, there's been no construct a dialogue between the parties, the ocoee and ongoing has not had access to me on the stakeholders involved. so you
4:39 pm
know, the army has just allowed any progress where they want that progress to happen. journals, dave, going about. thank you very much for your time. sure, thank. well, malaysia is among the nations urging more pressure to be put on me and more military rulers foreign ministers from the association of southeast asian nations or asi and have been holding special talks on the crisis. they made in the indonesian capital jakarta on thursday minus representatives from me and my the group is leading the international piece effort. but his struggling to deal with a geopolitical and humanitarian emergency that could affect the mold as you are there. or recent weeks have seen some of the bloodiest incidence in me, in my military 8 strike as we heard reportedly killed up to 80 people on sunday according to some accounts they've mentioned 50. they also the hundreds injured, the target anniversary celebrations of the main political organization of the couch
4:40 pm
in ethnic minority. not only is it this the pl ocean, it's indiscriminate but it targeted civilians. i mean, this is something that, you know, we will really, really press upon. she dies countries who are hesitating to act on doing anything on man, mom because we seeing more and more civilians cared. and really how many more do we need to stay killed or they will act to hold this military accountable. let's talk about the evidence to restart the still peace process without correspondent guild matters. audience chair says he remains committed to the peace plan. agreed with me amongst military rulers, but 18 months on the deal hasn't worked. has it? that's right, fan, and more really as to say that me on mars, pretty much exhausted everything that is on the list of what are the am i can actually do? would it be time or to bring in sanctions now after the 5 point plan,
4:41 pm
as sir david dunbar has pointed out, has pretty much been ignored. yes, it would be the time. but sanctions is not part of the vocabulary of that 10 nation block. so what we heard from foreign ministers in this preliminary meeting today is that they are concerned and that they have made recommendations that are passed on to the on summit in cambodia in 2 weeks time. muma didn't attend the talks, but malaysia did. it's one of the ones putting the most pressure on me a mom, but at the same time is sending back asylum seekers who could face torture or death there. how does that all fit together? yeah, that's correct. 11 can say that the malaysia pretty much had the most active approach . when it comes to me, a ma, they teamed up with indonesia. and the reason for that is miss mainly at that. they were pretty much concerned about a muslim minority. the ro hinge us, we've heard about and they are treatment by the military junta. now malaysia and
4:42 pm
indonesia have put a lot of pressure at their, on me and mar, at the same time. one has to say that an election is coming up in malaysia, and that is where refugees or taking in more refugees is a sensible issue too. and also there's another fact one needs to bear in mind. there's 2 nations in southeast asia that haven't signed the u. n. a declaration on refugees. our rather the convention on refugees and that is indonesia and malaysia . it sounds like several members of asean, have to toughen up along with the group itself. how much of a credibility crisis could all of his cause for hours in i would say it's already been in humiliating experience for us. yeah. they've, they've tried a lot. are they agreed on this 5 point plan that we've heard about only the humanitarian part of that has been partially fulfilled? and so some great critics have already said that this boiler as the on down to her toothless talking shop. now we really have to take a look at,
4:43 pm
in 2 weeks time at the summit, the rotating presidency of ours. yeah. and we'll move on to indonesia. and as i've just explained indonesia, malaysia being the most active members of the ones that put most pressure on me on mar. and so we'll have to see. 1 to what extent the course of action a will change once indonesia takes over the chairmanship guild matters. stay in jakarta, following those talks between the foreign ministers of our the and thank you very much. thank you for joining us. i'm ben fizzling scene exxon. ah sh. her understand that if i look, that tag in the end is a me, you are not a lot of to you anymore. we will send you back her. are you familiar with this?

4:45 pm
where customers are even bringing their rolex watches just to make ends meet. and a new report by the international energy agency predicts fossil fuel emissions will peak globally in 2025. as consumers, flea higher prices, hello and welcome to the show. i'm seeing beardley in berlin. the european central bank has raised its benchmark lending rate by $75.00 basis points. another large hike that brings rates to a level not seen in more than a decade. years and barring rates had been low for years until the war and ukraine spurred rapidly rising energy costs. this is the 3rd rate hike since russia's invasion, the c, b raise rates by half a percentage point in july, and then follow that with a 75 basis point hike in september. now earlier today and before that meeting, i asked maria de merits us of the brutal institute if raising rates isn't dangerous for an already trouble euros on economy. i think that's probably right.
