there aren't that many roningya left inside of burma and the governments of burma and bangladesh are discuss ago repatriation strategy on how these individuals might be able to return to burma. they have a framework for a plan. burma says they'll welcome them and let them go home. they've even said they can return to where their villages were burned and have assistance in rebuilding their homes and their community structures. but at the first step they say they'll house them in reception camps. and they also say they may put them into model villages, and these words -- reception camps and model villages -- are word for encampments that are based on what is already in much of the central rakhine state, which are long-term camps that are essentially prison camps, prison camps for the rohingya. if this is not going to unfold this manner, the world has to be engaged. and right now, of course, the rohingya, who have fled this horrific violence, they're not anxious to return immediately because they don't believe the government will protect them. if you've been subject to horrific rampage

think they will return to burma as though with the situation of what do they have if out in burma that is one thing that we need to look at you know the situation in bangladesh if you can since a really bet so what we need to see now is into an international community what they have to do as we have seen also whitewash these commission what to do trying to do this is quite critical time for us that's what i can see matthew you just heard to you can use the word genocide now in december un human rights chief said the person addressed a human rights council session in geneva and he said that an act of genocide against for him to muslims by state forces in myanmar cannot be ruled out now that was definitely a change because for months before that we kept hearing the term ethnic cleansing being utilized by u.n. officials and by rights groups and by international governments so does the fact that the un human rights chief utilized the word genocide changed things sufficiently do you expect that more groups now and that more officials might be utilizing that word and raising the alarm bells

and mps debate the plight of the rohingya people, who fled from burma for bangladesh. refugee camp is now equivalent to the size of bristol. carillion was awarded work on the h52 project a week after a profit warning. the contractor collapsed this week with debts of more than £1 billion. in the commons, a conservative critic of the rail line called for a full review of the project. with the sad demise of carillion, could be secretary of state confirm that he is performing a full review of the business case to make sure that the remaining public sector, or private sector companies are able to deliver these rejects without serious cost to the taxpayer? i know my right honourable friend will be pleased to know that the demise of carillion, a tragic event for this country and for corporate britain will nonetheless not affect the h52 project. the contract that exists is part of a free public consortium. the other two companies are taking over responsibility for the project. the apprenticeships are being transferred, the staff are being transferred, the project will continue

yeah i mean this is a lot from one hundred twenty three one myanmar then called burma was part of british and the and legal experts in this and to basically have a very broad definition of what can be an official secret anything that's not in the public domain through official channels could potentially be an official secret and they could face up to fourteen years in prison i mean that's what they've been charged with at this stage the door is open for the possibility of some other charges coming down the road but basically you've had strong i you know the human rights group of come out and saying that this is ridiculous abatement charge that this act is just soulless old and it is does not apply. and also the families of these two men of these two journalists say that they never even saw the documents they were called to meet with a dinner with police officers and they had not met before were handed these documents that had not looked at and then just as they walked away from dinner is when they were arrested so the families are basically saying that this was a setup ok where does this

under myanmar's official secrets act which is a law that dates back to nine hundred twenty three when burma was still a british colony the issue at the core of the story seems to be the discovery of a mass grave containing ten dead ranger which was announced by the burmese military shortly after the journalists were arrested so what are we looking at here a clumsy attempt on the part of the authorities to control the narrative on the range a story well it was actually police officers who handed those classified documents to the journalists immediately prior to their arrest was that the police set up we simply don't know we may learn more on tuesday when there will be a hearing on the case but in the meantime the burmans army has admitted that security forces did participate in the mass killing which is a reversal of their original outright denial that is in itself a significant step however the jailing and the charges against these two journalists will no doubt have a chilling effect on future reporting you've also been looking into a story in the philippines regarding an independent online
