up until the 1970s, aboriginal children — thousands of them — were taken from their families.aigner, roxy moore who says:. on monday the government released this report, closing the gap, which found that although it's made some progress in reducing inequality, it still has a long way to go in several areas. one of them is closing the life—expectancy gap. more now from our reporter hywell griffiths who is in canberra. the apology ten years ago was a cathartic moment for australia. it is hard to overestimate its significance at the time. i have been speaking to survivors of the stolen generations, people who were taken from their families and they told me how they cried for hours on that day ten years ago. a lot of the focus today has been on progress or the lack of it. sadly, we know that things like life expectancy for indigenous australians is far lower than nonindigenous. when it comes to employment rates, for example, the gap has widened in the last decade. the employment rate for indigenous australians is 25% lower. there is some progress being made but one of the other co

australia is marking the tenth anniversary of a national apology to aboriginal people forcibly takenes with a report that says the australian government is failing to meet the majority of targets for improving the lives of the country's indigenous population. our correspondent, hywel griffith, is outside the parliament building in canberra. bring us up—to—date on the situation. as you said, it is ten yea rs situation. as you said, it is ten years ago since thousands of people we re years ago since thousands of people were on ms loren witnessing that apology. the question being asked in canberra is really how much has changed in that decade? closing the gap looks at the differences between indigenous and non—indigenous australians and some of the differences are quite stark. life expectancy, for example, fred is that —— indigenous women is nine and a half yea rs that —— indigenous women is nine and a half years shorter, for indigenous men it is more than ten up here shorter, when it comes to employment the gap has widened between the two communities in the last decade. the employment

aboriginal people have fiercest disadvantage and discrimination for decades. over representation in australian prisons today is a representation of that the their disability is more likely to go undetected unsupported they are less likely to have access to services which places them on a path to incarceration more than the likelihood of even getting a degree from college even though they are incarcerated for relatively minor crimes like theft traffic violations and big fines we find that the in and out of prison caught trapped in a revolving door. once they are in prison we documented institutional racism against them i was told by prisoners that they were called derogated terms like black can't on a regular basis in fact it is so normal that they don't bother reporting it anymore that is the type of treatment they are facing in prison today or see whether that changes at all in the future for the moment with a sharper which i w thanks so much for joining us still ahead here on the al-jazeera news our maldives president orders the arrest of two senior judges f

"we can do better," he said. his justice minister made similar comments to the editorial board at "the toronto sun." they say this sets a dangerous precedent. not only have they undermined the independence of canada's judicial system. they also, we read, prejudiced proceedings in any possible retrial, serving neither justice nor the cause. --helle: returning to france in july, 1970 six, a criminal gang carried out what has been called the robbery of the century in nice. it seems someone might be about to face justice -- a long time coming. haxie:

systematic nature of the military's burning you see in some of these villages that are mixed that aboriginal population where within you know five ten metres apart you have the entire area completely burned to the ground every last structure and the areas completely intact and we've interviewed people from those villages to describe where they live and the population lives and it lines up it corroborates in terms of who did this to me and more military and to whom the population in these villages and so i think you know our reporting when you look at what reuters was able to do with this indian report it's incredibly thorough and it's not just testimony from victims from witnesses but also from the perpetrators of this specific incident and it lines up with what we've reported with what human rights watch has reported about what journalists you know from the most respected media outlets in the world have reported again and again and again that this is been a systematic campaign led by the myanmar military against their and just civilian population across northern lights that i have a headlin
