by all international rules and it including burma little issues who are so you can say to gauge. now as strikes have killed 9 civilians in syria as a province this video shows the moments shortly after the attack a syrian civil defense worker was among those killed at libya's the last major rebel stronghold in the country government troops backed by russia have been bombarding the area for more than 2 months. a suicide bomber has killed at least 6 people at a hospital in northwest pakistan the attack happened in the city of they had a small and calm soon after a gunman opened fire on a police checkpoint killing 2 offices there bodies were being brought to the hospital when the bomber struck the blast damaged the emergency board and wounded more than 20 people the pakistani taliban who claims on civility the attacks follow the 1st elections in a nearby tribal region on saturday c'mon high that is following that story from islamabad and order appears to be a planned and coordinated attack the. group of men carried out a security force after that right in the room and the work there

al jazeera with us from washington arsalan iftikhar who is a human rights lawyer at the burma task force nice to have you with us i think the 1st point to make is that it's good that this is being taken seriously now we. know many other media outlets have reported on the weekends for a long time and the numbers are huge but it never seems to have become a a big international issue now you get 22 countries on board. i think that this long overdue statement by 22 nations to the u.n. human rights council is a step in the right direction i think that there is still needs to be a lot more meaningful steps in terms of international pressure on china to ensure that human rights observers are given meaningful access to the region that people are removed from the camps that you know the ethnic cleansing that is going on the forced marriages and things like that there needs to be a lot more pressure and what would what's telling for me come on is the fact that out of the $22.00 nations who signed it none of them were muslim majority nations which is really quite telling because china is using thei

tightening of global sanctions on iran, libya, and syria, as well as the modification of sanctions on burma in the context of diplomatic normalization. i've asked each of them to speak for about eight minutes or so and then i will ask a couple questions to get the discussion going and then we can open up the remaining time for q&a. so i was going to have dan start, but i think josh can also provide a great overview, so we'll start with josh first. >> thank you. good morning. the comments that i'm going to make this morning are my personal views. they don't represent the opinions of any government agency, member of congress, or committee of congress. unlike the other panelists here, my job has nothing to do with north korea. i am here on my own time. nonetheless, a few years ago, it was my great honor to be asked to come to the house foreign affairs committee and draft what became known as the north korea sanctions and policy enhancement act. it passed the house by a vote of 418-3 and the senate by a vote of 96-0. that may give you some idea of the bipartisan breadth of congress' impatience

they were persecuted from china, burma, iraq, vietnam. the president on his way right now to a rally in north carolina. he also put a new twist on the house rest solution condemning his comments he made over the four members of congress known as the squad, saying they need to go back to where they came from. president trump: i think the story last night was 187 republicans voted in favor of trump, and four voted against. i think that was the big story. there is great unity in the republican party. it's very unfair what happened with respect to the way i would say republicans are being treated. but certainly the way this president has been treated. reporter: the president said the economy is doing very well. he says these four members of congress will pull the party so far to the left that in his words they will fall off a cliff. liz: in greenville, north carolina, people are lining up for make america great again rally and keep america great, too. reporter: that appears to be the slogan, keep america great. president trump set to take the

. >> these beads were made in burma. >> how do you know?yellow, burmese amber is more often red. so, you can determine a lot of things visually -- by the color, by the clarity, by the uniformity of the color. >> other hints help determine a bead's age -- erosion signs, texture, and rarity. another clue -- older beads typically have larger holes, due to the lack of sophisticated cutting tools. >> beads were made by hand, and they were made by artisans, and they were made one at a time, and they had a lot of skill and time invested in them. >> jamey's analysis yields a stunning conclusion -- many of naomi's beads are not only very old, but rare. ancient items include 17th century glass trading beads from venice and these amber ones from the chinese qing dynasty. >> they probably were originally in a mandarin court necklace about 150 years ago. >> other beads, he tells them, are even older. there's west african quartz more than 1,000 years old, pre-columbian ceramic from peru, and afghani beads from the 3rd millennium b.c. are these museum-wor

first, key provisions of my burma act are included as they were in the last congress. the burmese security forces perpetrated genocide against the rohingya people and those same forces are continuing to terrify burma's other ethnic minorities with horrific violence. the victims deserve justice and they deserve our unwavering support. this measure will hold these military officials accountable for their crimes and help support democracy in burma. next is my provision to prevent another phony emergency declaration to push through arms sales as the administration did in late may. the administration misused the law and went around congress to sell more than $8 billion in arms to the saudis. this fix would make sure that an emergency declaration cannot be used if the weapons won't be delivered for more than three months, because then there was no emergency in the first place. it's a commonsense reform that will protect congress' role in the arms sale process. i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the en bloc. i'm also honored to join chairman smith as a co-sponsor o

but burma and bangladesh they will finally have banking and i also think the way they are doing thiske bitcoin will fluctuate in price but it will constantly have a stable price. there's nothing special about crypto currency or block chain how they implemented it. they can do this with index cards and the fact that it's crypto currency don't be full by that and it's just a way of implement the. paul: it sounds to me, andy, this is more than a crypto currency and really an alternative payment system and a competition for mastercard and visa and for people who are blocked out of debit cards because of the dodd frank act and now maybe this is or tends to be low income and maybe this is an alternative. >> i agree. therefore it is admirable but however, unlike the name libra it's not free. the way it works is they take your money and go by treasuries and other instruments and then they keep the interest on it. you get nothing. it's a like a checking money checking account with no money or no toaster is not free to consumers and i don't think it's ever going to be free from regulators. the

example, is working to extend its control and influence everywhere from taiwan to cambodia to laos to burma to hong kong, as we've seen recently. the tools and tactics may differ but the goal is the same. beijing wants to bend its neighbors to its will. earlier this month, after historic protests, hong kong's government hit pause on legislation that would have further eroded its autonomy and invited more meddling from the mainland. but victory is not yet assured. the bill has been suspended but hasn't been totally withdrawn. hong kong's people emboldened by this rare victory over the creeping influence has asserted the right -- slowly sliced away in recent years by the p.r.c. protests continue and with them countervailing pressures from authorities beholden to beijing. increasingly brutal police tactics and pro-mainland vigilantees are drawing blood. madam president, hong kong's autonomous government, political freedoms, and stable rule of law have been a cruel precondition of its growth and prosperity. u.s. firms have invested tens of billions in hong kong's economy because they trust the

in the burma campaign for britain against the imperialjapanese army.ind of faith: group of communities who have just landed here by default or by mistake. we are descendants of the men who have defended this nation. we are british subjects before we became citizens. i think that is something that is missing from the school syllabus and for many documentaries and history programmes that could actually help to challenge that one—sided view that these people are just foreigners and bloated community that is the nothing for britain. thank you very much for talking to us. the armed forces, teachers and police officers are among those in line for a pay rise — it's one of theresa may's last big decisions as prime minister the chancellor philip hammond refuses to rule out trying to bring down a borisjohnson government if it pushes for a no—deal brexit seventeen people have been injured —— some seriously —— in a ‘car cruise' crash in hertfordshire. in sports, tommy fleetwood cards 67 to be one shot of the lead at the open. ellyse perry hit a century before the

believe it or not, what facebook did to contribute to the humanitarian disaster in what we know as burma where hundreds of people died, the united nations said that facebook contributed to the genocide, it almost doesn't sound believable, but to the genocide in that part of the world. but now after scandal after scandal, mr. president, facebook expects americans to trust them -- to trust them with their hard-earned paychecks.
