this is a burma road. burma road was a lifeline to china. it was cut in 1942, when the japanese invaded. so the only way to get to china was over the hump. it is also an exact replica of my driveway. [laughter] spring of 1945, betty received orders to go to kunming, china. she will have to fly the h ump. kunming was also the base for the flying tigers, the government that was not believe in chongqing would also -- nominally inch and king would go -- in chongqing would go to kunming. she would have to fly the hump, a 581 mile gauntlet through jagged peaks in often unpressurized aircraft with cross currents of wind that could take an aircraft from 20,000 feet to 10,000 feet in a second. there are stories of things like, the paint would get skinned off flashlights because of the electrostatic charge, all that stuff. she was terrified. rightly so. she could see out the window of the airplane the infamous aluminum trail of death, literally just crosses in the snow of aluminum aircraft that had gone down. just thousands. this was another see 47 --

slower pace than before but people are still being forced to flee so when you start talking about burma trying to put the put the situation together allow these people back first of all you need to have political will which is lacking in the government and the burmese military but then you also have to have the international protection in terms of u.n.h.c.r. president you need to have basic access for international n.g.o.s you have to have security guarantees for the road they should have freedom of movement they should have citizenship a whole long list of thing where the burmese government has even started on this and in fact you know what they're really doing is they're trying to play games with the international media they're trying to create the image that they're serious about bringing people back with this group of sixty two that we documented who had been imprisoned and then finally released of this reception center you know they want to say that they're serious they want to blame bangladesh for not sending people back when in fact it's it's burma that is not prepared to receive

burma is not a sickness reet —— signatory, but the un security council can refer burma to the internationaln we talk about human rights abuses and this label of genocide, it is significant, isn't it? this is the most depressing issue. it is not only one issue that happening in burma. the rohingya, what they are facing and there are other people, minority christians, and buddhists also. it means all the minorities are facing genocide and atrocities of this military machine. the uk have responded. some say it hasn't been robust enough. absolutely. what would you like to see next from the international community? ultimately you say that you want those involved sent to the icc, but what next? the most important thing, the uk government should refer burma to the international criminal court and it should work with international partners such as the us and france, why not russia and china as well? i strongly believe that china and russia will not support the genocide. there are many ways, diplomatic efforts, for the uk government to do this and we strongly hope that they will be referred to the i

and the secret base in burma. there's a picture of the two of them riding their bicycles along the burma road. and when the war breaks out, they are separated because he's on the frontline and she's back in kunming and they trade these letters back and forth. they would kind of write them every day and when a plane was going back and forth and put on seven or eight letters at a time. that was a remarkable story for me and in some ways ironic that the letters chronicle their time apart so you almost know more about their time apart in their time together. but they went for permission. they decided they wanted to get married there. they got married in kunming. they were officially disbanded in july of 1942. there's a lot of back and forth they can talk about about how that decision is reached. the pilots are given a decision if you want to stay or go home. she is pregnant at the time and they decide they are going to leave the unit and talk about he might go fly for a private airline over the himalayas. and says tha

this is the cbi gallery, china, burma, india. think of our war in the pacific as a war of islands, and we have also mentioned some of them already, we mentioned midway, tarawa. war was taking place, a gigantic struggle was taking place in the asian mainland. the japanese had invaded china and they were trying to overrun china. our own purpose, ours and our to fly allies' was supplies over the himalaya mountains from india into china, to keep forces in the field. theater, the entire china, burma and india, or cbi. those who fought in it often feel neglected in the stories of world war ii, so we have a nice relief map of what it was like to fly the hump. so, ticking off from summer in india or burma am a than flying over the himalayas to get supplies into china. to tellly don't have the viewers that flying over the himalayas is not the easiest flight in the world, it would be difficult for modern aircraft, and it was certainly difficult for vintage aircraft. 1940's there is a big downdraft as you crest the mountains. cabrera and it

and burma must commit to creating those conditions on the ground.the military and security forces must end the violence and adhere to the rule of law. those responsible for ethnic cleansing and other abuses should be held accountable. and in a letter that this committee sent to secretary pompeo last week urging a robust response to the crisis, l.a. why zell, one of mywy heroes, says violence must be confronted. to helping the victims of this crisis. what all victims need above all is to know that they are not alone. that we are not forgetting there. that when their voices are stifled, they can borrow ours. while their freedom depends on hours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs. if confirmed, i will always remember that our lives not only belong to us but to those that need us desperately. >> thank you, mr. ambassador. i am encouraged that you speak with such clarity and precision. and thoughtfulness and eloquence on this issue. with that, senator shaheen. shaheen: thank you, mr. chairman. congratulations to the age of you on your nominati

its government now this commission what the farm in burma in abide and they'll do government there thing they will not investigate any crimes you know we have word document or report thousand sovereign get been killed at least recently or one report mentioned twenty four thousand who has been killed and so we still do not see anything and we have seen too did the most routine women where thousand of them and their women been raped and slaughtered and bombed a lot of huge run and mosque killings that's happened last year we have not seen any is progress from international community it is very disappointing buried as the pointing. and i mean especially one of the issues has been a lack of trust and that with that fact that the things and necessarily been investigated as much people would have liked and there was an agreement in place between bangladesh and the main market for him just to be able to go back why has that story and what are the reasons behind people not going back. first thing nobody will return to prison camps they are housed at the ability has been. and they are building up

in burma we have concerns about their trajectory . the ethnic cleansing campaign is a repugnant stain on the military and those elements involved in the campaign and rightfully it will impact our thinking . as we look at the overall political picture we are concerned about the case of the jew reuters journalists who are on file for their coverage, convicting innocent journalists would cast breakdown on the rule of law and the future of democracy . in cambodia we are concerned about the trends . after cambodia's sham election last week the white house expressed both profound disappointment and caution that such steps may be taken in response to that election. in the meantime cambodia should release opposition leader kim so, on wrongful imprisonment of jim is causing great stress leading to his deteriorating health. as is the case with burma there appears to be little foundation for quality military relationships in the cambodian military is being used threaten the people of cambodia were speaking of voice in their political future. we

and many have places like vietnam and laos and burma where we see ethnic cleansing. of course we need specific approaches for different countries. i think what i'm getting mad is when you take the place like vietnam and we honestly want to have a much deeper security partnership with, if we are making democratization are number one priority in that relationship, we are not going to take it where it wants to go. i argued keeping the relationship gives us more leverage going forward. that's not to say we don't speak up for dissidents. we don't protest when vietnam engages in human rights abuses. we do. but again, i'm just a tailored approach for the country at hand like indonesia and the philippines will be much more open to her systems of democratic consolidation. >> let me put out a proposition you can answer as well. not if you don't want to. we are free and open. so the question, dictatorships and double standards in 1979 and 1980. my redefinition democratization. it was hugely successful in asia in the 80s and 90s. so my read was we had leverage first over these c

if you trace their family history, her father, was really the creator of independent burma as it washad said. i think there is something more dodgy foot, she gave a speech last november and her body language was very odd. and i got the impression, which was confirmed to me by sources afterwards that the army had basically told her, toe the line all we suspend parliament and we will restore direct military rule. it was the last sort of thing, she was under house arrest for so long, resisting the army. i think that she decided she wants to be queen bee, she wanted to be the national leader, the ethnic people of burma who are the majority of her andi of burma who are the majority of her and i think it is desperately sad, she is getting old now and not in good health but i find the whole thing quite apart from the horrific stories which have been coming out from the agencies over the last year. richard, you -- rushanara ali, you have been a fierce critic of the diplomacy which has been going on andi diplomacy which has been going on and i know there is criticism of the british government

for instance, cambodia and burma taking the right approach pressing hard on human rights issues. but when you look at thailand in the philippines, you've got away the other benefit is that they offer. they both offer a tremendous amount of value as allies come as we approach the issues in the philippines is where ambassadors now, behind closed doors is simpler and similar in thailand. >> imagistic with walter for another couple of minutes here. on the economic approach, obviously those of you who watch monty python, transpacific readership is dead, it's not just resting. it's been dead for a very long time arguably. dead as soon as there was even to the house republicans to run it through. that's not a debate for today. secretary pompeo put out a speech together with a whole set of cabinets, a strategy with a whole set of cabinet officials but essentially the approach right now is to catalyze private capital into the region and i think they are correct in saying there's no amount of government money that can lead to infrastructure needs for southeast asia. the question is twofold

full citizenship rights and others there is no way to return to refute for the rowing or refugees in burma you know nobody wants as when i talk with them a few times i visited to refute the camps in bangladesh they told me they want justice fasting and secondly they want they do not want to return prison camp so they are already in a village has been bulldozed and where they will go you know so it is really important international community they should not take on you know that reason you sign with you in a theory when the v.n. burmese government we have seen leaked documents this is totally without consultation of rohingya. and there is no really presentation of. the full and there is no transparency so international community must stop that you know with the tree present and call the sultan with growing get this is a very important issue we are a big team we cannot suffer much more than any movie you know this is a very important iraq or templar and can brought up a lot of very important points there one of which is the fact that when you're in bangladesh i've been in bangladesh cox's bi

you have places like vietnam and burma, where we are seeing ethnic cleansing. of course, we need a specific and different approach for different countries. at isk what i am getting when you take vietnam, who we want to have a much deeper weurity partnership with, if are making democratization our number one priority and that relationship, we won't take it where it wants to go. i would argue that deepening the relationship gets us leverage going forward. that is not to say we don't speak up for dissidents and protest when vietnam engages in human rights abuses. again, it is a tailored approach for the country at hand in places like indonesia and the philippines. they are much more open for democratic policies. dan: let me put this out and, if you wantn answer to we are free and open here. [laughter] dan: there are dictators and double standards and there were was prefer that in 1979 and 1980. i view on asian democratization is that it got named because of successful inly asia in the 1980's. my read was we had leverage over these countries that have democratized

exaggerated so al-jazeera arabic correspondents and i'm in doubt we travel to me and mark also known as burma in february twenty seventh team to investigate for herself. the conflict between me and mars ethnic minorities and the ruling burmese majority that controls the army is one of the world's longest ongoing civil wars the united nations and other agencies have repeatedly accused me and maher of widespread human rights violations and genocide. madman. arrived in the gone the country's largest. to find a large demonstration in progress. the military government was dissolved in twenty eleven and sends to cheese party then won a majority in both houses of parliament in the twenty fifteen elections but has not yet succeeded in addressing the country's long standing ethnic conflicts. on monday. given the time that you know we've got a government that we're going to be best government that we all that what we all want will we all believe that this time we don't have to fight each other we have to do have a dialogue to you know to have little to debate a better country for the for the time that

and i worked alongside one another to address the genocide against the rohingya community in rokan, burma, orchestrated by the burmese military. last saturday, august 25, marked one year since the outbreak of violence in the western rokan state which resulted in a mass exodus of over 700,000 rohingyan to neighboring bangladesh. in response to this violence crime against humanity perpetrated against the rohingya community, senator mccain and i introduced the burma rights and freedom act. senator mccain would stand up for people anywhere in the world who were victimized by human rights violations. russia dissident vladimir karamiso wrote yesterday about john, as an idealist, he believed in his principles and was prepared to stand up for them, regardless of party, convenience, or political advantage. mr. karamiso has been poisoned twice in russia as a result of him standing up against mr. putin. i remember john doing just that during our foreign relations committee 2013 debate on whether to turn arms -- whether we should arm the rebels in syria. he passionately argued that we should do more

he's director of the burma campaign uk and joins us by webcam. thank you forjoining us.eport? we have had the evidence now for a long time, we knew the burmese government we re time, we knew the burmese government were trying to drive the rohingya out. it's a damning report, it doesn't get worse than genocide, and there were warnings, the international community did nothing to prevent it so now will they hold those responsible to account? do you believe that will happen. it doesn't look like it it. even today the british government is still talking about are investigation that to herself has set up and you would have to be naive to believe any justice will come from that. the ohus justice will come from that. the onusis justice will come from that. the onus is now on the international community to react, the british government should be supporting the international criminal court and if they tried to build a coalition of countries supporting that, that is the best chance of overcoming opposition from china and would worry the generals. at the moment they have got away wi

group which is the definition of genocide and so i think that's important to keep in mind is that burma has over a hundred different ethnic groups but is the root india muslim minority in burma that is active. for the. salon if the car i think. will be the light and by your clarification of thanks very much for being on the program my pleasure thank you. uganda's high court has granted bail to opposition leader bobby wine the thirty six year old musician turned politician was detained two weeks ago and charged with treason now he's accused of inciting supporters to attack a convoy carrying president to yarima seventy catherine sawyer has more from the capital kampala. freedom for bobby wine twelve days after his arrest blocked up by both the military and the police he accuses of. wine is charged with treason along with thirty two others after presidential where he was seven his motorcade during the recent local election campaign what do you want to listen to during the course of the show well let us not many ugandan such as radio presenter james peterson have closely watched development

he worked with senator cardin to introduce a bill that would punish military officials in burma for the part that they have played in waging genocide against the rohingya, a bill that i hope the senate will pass soon. he was an early voice that warned about north korea's nuclear program, and as a long-time member and chairman of the armed services committee, he always stood up for our men and women in uniform. a few years ago on the 70th anniversary of the attack on pearl harbor, my predecessor daniel k. inouye planned to give a floor speech remembering the 2,004 americans who died that day. senator inouye's staff let it known he would mark the anniversary on the senate floor but he gave that speech to a chamber that was not full. but john mccain was there. he was there for senator inouye just as he had been there for our military and for our country time after time. he was ernest -- earnest and solemn when it came to fulfilling his oath to the constitution but he was also the embodiments of taking your job seriously, not yourself. one tribute from a former staff member recalled senator

may have a degree of truth to it but the fact is that the situation in burma beijing for many years has been very polarized and politically you know. all formal protest is somehow politically triggered and leg. student bodies i linked to political party support that takes of a much trained to into public life. oh i want to get back in a minute to the issue of the polarization going on in bangladesh for first i want to talk specifically about the case of shah to a lot of course the very renowned photographer he was arrested he was charged under section fifty seven of bangladesh's information communications technology act which i believe charter referred to a few minutes ago now human rights group including your group has called this a draconian law used to stifle the media and political dissent can you tell us more about shadow case and also this law and how it has been enforced. sue one of the last things the show the other one did before he was that sanger was that iran has shut down and here billions of you will be very critical comments about the government's. comments that alarms th

the perpetrator was the burma's military and security forces the whole world is watching what we will do next and if we will as the one point of agreement that the security council must act in a united manner part of the issue the problem of china it is perceived as being against immediate action based on the un report earlier the chinese foreign ministry issued a statement saying that myanmar does not cope well with pressure. joins me now live from cox's bizarre in southern bangladesh. what's the reaction to the reading from the reading that you've been speaking to about their issues because i know it's all being discussed beyond the borders not the highest levels of diplomatic circles so here average activists that are spoken with when it comes to these issues. prostration they feel extremely marginalized look they've already been marginalized they are one of the world's most persecuted minorities but now they continue to see the united nations engage with others when it comes to their plight they see the government of bangladesh engaging with the government of me and more discussin

we have seen the massacres and expulsions in me and mark come burma, fueled in by top again to spread on facebook and whatsapp. modi has taken advantage of this. it is a three-part strategy, which i call the authoritarian playbook. use facebook and whatsapp to distribute propaganda about themselveses, f flooding out alf the discussion about what is going on in politics and government. secondly, the use the same propaganda machines very accucurately targeted to underme their opponents and critics publicly. thirdly, they use them to generate harassment. because you are constantly being accused of pedophilia, you are being threatened with rape, kidnapping, murder, which makes it impossible to perform publicly in a democratic space. he masteredtly what in his campaign in 2014 and a bit before and that same playbook was picked up by rodrigo duterte and it is being used all over ththe world by authoritariaian and nationalist leaders, to greater or lesser degrees. usedtrump's campaign facebook on most as effectively to precisely target certain voters in certain s states, like michigan, wisco
