we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitat, what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable smarten solutions over steam set in our ways, or is truly unique. and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive global ideas. the environmental series in global 3000 on d, w, and online. this is d, w, use asia coming up today? mia mas, most vulnerable, seeking asylum abroad, only to be sent back to possibly face torture or death. the united nations refugee agency slams malaysia for forcing the return of hundreds of me and my nationals to they trembled, contract and southeast asian foreign ministers hold special talk saying they're

greatly 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 foolin. nice to have you alone. 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 former naval officers who was seeking asylum. the un office says that the potations or a violation of international law, you and hcr the when refugee agency is seriously 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 and my nationals for malaysia since april this year. and this 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 their life, liberty, and place. harmon, danger, and this is why our appeal is so christian. se asia corresponded, dave, who knew bound, can shine like on this story. what sort of a welcome can the deportees expect in me and mom, do you think well, anyone who has tried to leave the army, the navy, it's doom. i mean, the best case scenario for them would be prison and very,

very possibly prison torture death. the m r army does not tolerate any invasion in the ranks any break in the rank, and this will not only be intended as punishment for the actual soldiers or sellers, but to 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 you know, 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 prison and again, possibly torture on. and then anyone that they can clearly defined in their own minds that the military government, that these were true civilians just try know leah and 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 just looking at some of the protest pictures. i mean, isn't a message already a crystal clear? a human rights expert has reported the conditions have gone from bad to worse to horrific and, and some of the figures to run through some 1300000 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 me, i'm are from the rainy season to the dry season. and why is that significant? because if you look at past history, and keep in mind here that the member army long before the qu, that took place last year, they've been fighting and surgery movements inside me and mar insurgencies, going back for decades. and if you look at the history,

it's during the dry season when the fighting really gets to its worse. so if past history is 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 to play book, 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

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 of identified that since the crew last year, russia, china and serbia have been providing weapons to the me. m r. no, a perry. now, russia, there are a huge supplier there, particularly when it comes to attack aircraft. we saw, i don't know exactly what fighter jets or things were using right just within the past week that killed these 50 people, including a number of civilians in the am, are recently. but russia is one of the big suppliers of attack. yes, put me on our army. so you certainly got to. it's going to be very difficult. all the stop that the me, i'm army, they're going to do whatever they need to keep the weapons they need coming, the type of weapons they to getting for russia, trying to serbia according to the un special right. but turnkey fighter jets army

vehicles, rockets and artillery. now someplace that might be, they might be able to have some more success with is trying to stop the money flows back go to the general, you know, ukraine. they're such a huge coordinated effort from the west on that one. but when it comes to sanctions on the me, m r. army, a lot of the sanctions have been sort of peace now with different countries acting 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 army is getting money from some how the national community has 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 and at a $130000.00 ranger detained in can't yes. so if you look at the 5 point plan, i came out a year and

a half ago that the army at the time agreed to with the association of southeast asia nations. one point was humanitarian assistance. the other 4 points, there's been no progress on at all, but humanitarian systems, there has been limited progress on and, and that's the me army, that's the way they want it. sure, they know at some humanitarian search areas, but they are trying to break down the resolve modeling the resistance moment. 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 me army have operated for decades. so yes, we've seen some movement on humanitarian assistance, but it's limited only goes to the places where the me, i'm, are army, a lot of ongoing has not had access to me all the stakeholders involved. so, you know, the army has just allowed any progress where they want that progress to happen, journals, dave, going around. thank you very much for your time. sure thing. well,

malaysia is among the nations urging or pressure to be put on me and my military rule as far ministers from the association of southeast asian nations or ozzy 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 if it, but his struggling to deal with a geopolitical and humanitarian emergency that could affect the mold as you are there. will recent weeks have seen some of the bloodiest incidence in me in my military 8 strike as we heard repeatedly 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 over the zation of the couch in ethnic minority. not only is it this, the ocean, an indiscriminate but it targeted civilians. i mean, and that is something that, you know, we were really,

really pressed upon. she dies countries here, hesitating to act on doing anything on man, mom because we seeing more and more civilians, carrot and really how many more do we need to speak here or they will act to hold a tree accountable. let's talk about the efforts to restart the soul. peace process without correspondent, guild matters. as eons. chair says he remains committed to the peace plan agreed with me and my military rule is but 18 months on the deal hasn't worked. has it? that's right. been and one really has to say that me on mars, pretty much exhausted everything that is on the list of what i'm i can actually do . would it be time to bring in sanctions now after the 5 point blank? so david drew about 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. me and i didn't attend the talks, but malaysia did. it's one of the ones putting the most pressure on me and mom, but at the same time is sending back asylum seekers who could face torture or death it. how does that all fit together? yeah, that's correct. 11 can say that the militia pretty much have the most active approach . when it comes to myanmar they teamed up with indonesia. and the reason for that is miss mainly that they were pretty much concerned about the muslim minority. the ra hinge us. we've heard about and they are treatment by the military junta. now malaysia and indonesia have put a lot of pressure there 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 is 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, or rather the convention on refugees and that is indonesia and malaysia. it sounds like several members of ozzy and have to toughen up along with the group itself. how much of a credibility crisis could all of this cause for as in i would say it's already been in humiliating experience for us. yeah. and 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 boils are as the and down to a toothless talking shop. now we really have to take a look at, in 2 weeks time at the summit, the rotating presidency of ozzie, and we'll move on to indonesia. 8 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 to what extent the course of action a will change once indonesia takes over the chairmanship guild matters there 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 for solon, seen exxon is the end of the pandemic in site. we show what it could look like. return to normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult exceeds his successes and you know, weekly coping 19 special next on d w. as you've got any thoughts,

they will gray with the lessons uganda learned from the corona virus pandemic approving helpful in its approach to the current a boat outbreak for now they still know vaccine against the virus species. but the east african nations medical professionals are.
