he was sceptical of the idea that the rohingya should be returned to myanmar.e rohingya could be returned to live in internment camps controlled by the military of burma is not acceptable. we welcome the commitment of the uk government and the swiftness with which that was pledged. the government of bangladesh has told us, however, that they expect the cost of effective provision of basic services for the displaced rohingya to total eventually more than £1 billion. particular attention must be made for a clear and decisive plan with regards to any repatriation — not just on security and safety, but also the legal status of every rohingya who is taking a voluntary option to go back to burma, and the international development agencies need to have oversight at each stage. he is right to say that if there is to be any process of repatriation, we need to know about the legal status that will be made available to any refugees. there is a particular issue with babies that are born in refugee camps and the status they might have if they are returned, and as well as th

now over half a million rohingya are here. they live with overcrowding, many rely on food handouts, struggling to stay healthy, living with terrible memories. >> ( translated ): i am still >> reporter: there are stories like that in virtually every hut in the camp. the sudden massive influx of rohingya was met by a huge relief operation focusing on the basics, shelter food, water, medicine. the physical needs, and lately more and more emphasis on mental health to address the enormous psychological impact on the rohingya refugees. mahmuda mahmuda is a psychologist with u.n.h.c.r., the u.n. refugee agency. she has been counseling the refugees since the beginning. this 16-year-old did not want her identity revealed but she told her story to mahmuda. she says government soldiers attacked her village and killed her mother with a machete. she says the soldiers caught her and took her away. she says she was raped. >> they try to normally do many things like self-blaming and guilt and shame as we just try to help them in this way so t

the concern for the treatment of the rohingya is bipartisan. i appreciate that 14 senators who have already cosponsored my resolution. particular thanks to senator john mccain and to senator todd young for not only supporting this resolution but for being advocates for the rohingya people and for global huma rights. i was profoundly shocked when the burmese military started these massive assaults back in august. i knew it was important for our government to pay attention, for the people of the united states to pay attention, and for members of this senate to pay attention, and for us to weigh in and try to create pressure to end the persecution and create a different path for the future. in the month that followed, there was a lot of international outcry about how wrong this was, and first state counselor aung san suu kyi responded to the world with a speech to the united nations. she invited the world to go with us to the troubled areas, to see for yourself what is happening, think for yourself what we can do to remove these problems. i applau

it is not quite clear who did what against these rohingyas. they're also saying these rohingyas were terrorists who had threatened buddhists. it doesn't hold up with the other arguments they had been making where there is zero wrongdoing and they have been saying this for months. but they are again trying to qualify it by saying that these people were dangerous. so, it really comes down to what other evidence might be coming out over time. these two reuters reporters, it has been widely reported for weeks that they were looking into this mass grave, and we really don't know what kind of evidence those two journalists turned up. brent: let's switch gears now and talk business. u.s. carmaker ford is facing diesel emissions allegations. we have been here so many times. daniel: they just keep coming, don't they? the fumes of dieselgate are now swirling around car giant ford. a u.s. lawsuit alleges ford installed of emissions cheating software in two of its pickups. it says emissions on the f-250 and 350 trucks were often five times the limit when

a deal has been agreed where 1,500 rohingya will return each week.here is still an awful lot of detail of what would have to happen for a viable repatriation, missing from this agreement that has come out of the first joint working group meeting that the two countries have held. they are talking about numbers, but i think these are very much ambitions at this stage, not really based on what is practical. 1500 people a week, which is what the myanmar government has agreed to, would be a great many when you think that most of the refugees are very reluctant to go back until they have better assurances about their safety. even at 1500 a week, it would take something like ten years to get back all the rohingya who fled over the past year and a half from violence in rockland state. the bangladesh side has said they want those numbers to increase but nobody is talking about what has to happen inside rakhine state before repatriation can happen. they can't be sure until international agencies are given better access to rakhine state. there are none of the u

mr richardson criticised what he called a government whitewash over the plight of rohingya muslims, andan head is in myanmar and i asked him the significance of this move. it is very important. aung san suu kyi appointed five international members to work advisory panel to convince the outside world that she had a plan to address the conflict in grocon state based on applying the recommendation from last year —— rhakine state. she said that was her blueprint. she has said it time and time again in statements, on the rare occasions he has made them, and she pointed to these five advisers to show that she wants to listen to international advice bill richardson is not just a international advice bill richardson is notjust a very international advice bill richardson is not just a very seasoned extremely experienced diplomat, but also a very old friend of aung san suu kyi, who used to go see her when she was under house arrest. for him to come out and notjust resign from this commission, this advisory board, but also to give such damning language about are basically saying she refused to lis

in myanmar: the army has admitted for the first time its soldiers were involved in the killing of rohingya. it said an inquiry had found that four members of the security forces were involved in the killing of ten people in a village. the report said the four had helped villagers carry out a revenge attack on what it called "bengali terrorists". thousands of people who've been stranded in the alps because of unusually heavy snow are now seeing some relief. trains have begun running to the swiss resort of zermatt and helicopters are ferrying people out if they need it. but others are making the best of the situation. after two days cut off from the rest of the world, zermatt is open for business again. the train line blocked by snow is now clear, and for those who are really in a huge hurry, the helicopters are waiting. some tourists, though, seem quite happy exactly where they are. translation: since we have arrived yesterday morning, and we're leaving saturday, we don't feel blocked at all. for commuters across the alps, the heavy snow continues to cause problems. some villages are still

an estimated 655,000 rohingya muslims have fled to neighbouring bangladesh.p. we have not had a lot of contact with them. they were held incommunicado for two weeks and then briefly showed up in court did they spoke to reporters and met their family which was great. we only had a few moments although wa lone's wife sat with him. they have had some time with their family and we have hired lawyers. they have had sporadic contact. from what we can see their spirits remain high and wa lone was quoted as saying they are doing the best because they have done nothing wrong. former us president bill clinton is adding his voice for those calling for the pair to be released. how hopeful are you? we have been gratified by the outpouring of support in myanmar and around the world. i guess we will find out in the next few hours when they come back the second court hearing. in an ideal and just world i think we would recognise that they arejust doing their i think we would recognise that they are just doing theirjobs, they are hard—working journalists are just doing theirj

but the latest refugees to reach there say that rohingya are still being persecuted in myanmar. refugee camp. the bbc‘s mishal husain is there. the camp is now home to more than half a million people. they are living here in the simplest of shelters, little more than tense, really, made of bamboo poles fastened together with plastic sheeting spread over the top and down the sides. and each one of these, many people will be crammed into a single, small space. now, the overcrowding is why the threat of disease is ever present here. today, uk aid money has been pledged towards a vaccination programme, but there has already been a team of british doctors and nurses who have been working here to try and bring an outbreak of diphtheria under control. i‘ve been watching the work that they are doing. four—year—old anwar has just been diagnosed with diphtheria, a respiratory disease that can kill. he was brought in by his mother to this clinic, set up from scratch by the uk emergency medical team. thanks to the treatment he has now been given, he should soon recover. it is for you to fee
