listen to what ms suu kyi is saying to them.ows on is who can influence of the burnie is army, who can force them to stop this offensive and, i am afraid, the reality for many —— from many decades of abuses in this country is that there are very few people, few countries, who can have very little impact on what the burmese army is doing here and the abuses it is committing in this country. history simply shows that they do their own thing and they are oblivious to almost all attempts at outside intervention. thank you very much for that. it's full coverage on the bbc news website with reports from correspondents on the ground, plenty background too. hurricane maria has strengthened to the maximum category five as it bears down on the leeward islands in the eastern caribean. ferocious winds and heavy rain are expected to hit dominica and the us and british virgin islands in the coming hours. many caribbean islands were already devastated earlier this month by hurricane irma. sarah corker reports. the french island of martinique h

suu kyi giving the "both sides" defense. overwhelmingly, the victims of the crisis have been the rohingya. asked who was responsible for burning villages, she refused to point the finger, and then there was this. ms. suu kyi: we are concerned to hear that numbers of muslims are fleeing across the border to bangladesh. we want to find out why this exodus is happening. we would like to talk to those who have fled, as well as those who have stayed. reporter: the speech won't satisfy ms. suu kyi's many critics. a generous reading of it is that she is badly out of touch. but the ideas that she put forth that she doesn't know why hundreds of thousands of rohingya have fled into bangladesh -- well, that simply beggars belief. almost without exception they say they are fleeing atrocities being committed by burmese soldiers. some observers have called it ethnic cleansing. ultimately, ms. suu kyi doesn't control the burmese army, but its generals are quietly pleased that it is her taking the flak. what will it take to stop the abuses?

aung san suu kyi will address myanmar on tuesday. the pressure keeps coming.french foreign minister said "we reiterate our call for the cessation of violence against civilian populations". "we expect from mrs aung sang suu kyi tomorrow a strong statement in this direction". earlier i spoke with anbarasan ethirajan, bbc south asia regional editor. now he is. the fact she avoided the un general assembly meeting showed she is under a lot of pressure because she would have had to answer questions about what's going on. 412,000 people have fled violence. 0n the other hand people are wondering what she's going to say, if you go back a couple of weeks, couple of days, what she has been saying, avoiding taking any sides in this particular conflict. she once said it was very difficult for us to end this conflict in 18 months since we have beenin conflict in 18 months since we have been in power and we have to look into all those people who are citizens and not citizens as well. it's difficult to imagine her criticising the military in her speech tomorrow. the only pers

"it's not because of the soldiers", he says. "the rohingya are lying on purpose." "in fact our people," he said, "are the ones facing ethnic cleansing." "the rohingya were the ones who started attacking the security forces." aung san suu kyi said the burning of rohingya villages as stop. aung san suu kyi said the burning of rohingya villages has stopped. there have been no conflicts since the 5th of september and no clearance operations. we too are concerned. we want to find out what the real problems are. but the burning has continued. the bbc filmed rohingya villages being torched within the last fortnight, well after she said it had finished. human rights campaigners are critical.

so you are blaming the military, not aung san suu kyi? i am saying it is a complex situation.m the military side to do what is being done on the ground. i would expect that the leader of the country would be able to contain it and would be able to reverse the situation. she has a last chance in my opinion to do so because she will be addressing the country and i hope that it corresponds exactly to the beginning of our high—level session in the general assembly. she will have a chance to reverse the situation. if she does not reverse the situation now, then i think the tragedy will be absolutely horrible. unfortunately, i don't see how this can be reversed in the future. you don't see how this can be reversed? i think it still can be reversed, i think she still has an opportunity next tuesday. but can she tell the military to stop what is going on on the ground? you just blamed the military and not her. i think we also have to put pressure on the military. i think it is important that countries that have links, military to military, do so. i think all forms of pressure are nece

what do you think aung san suu kyi should say when she addresses parliament on tuesday?re is about the mistreatment of the rohingya, it isa the mistreatment of the rohingya, it is a fact the majority population in myanmar do not see many of the hinge as fellow citizens and in a sense, aung san suu kyi is a product of that country, so no surprise she shares that view. —— many of the rohingya. somebody has a nope belt peace prize, she has a nobel peace prize. people campaigned for her. why? we all assumed she would fight and consider every human being is equal, equal before law and humanity. that because that is what we wanted to see, not because that was the reality of her and her party? that is what we were told. we were told there was this lady under house arrest, the army has taken over when they should not have. there was that sympathy. the fact is that now she has an opportunity to say this is wrong. all human beings are equal and she should be saying that. i do not see why the fact that 95% of buddhists in that country, because they do not regard rohingya as burmese

what power do you think ang sang suu kyi has to stop this?me ways, burma's government is now split between the military and the civilian side, but what ang sang suu kyi has is quite unique because she is a nobel peace laureate, is the power of her voice, her conviction and the power to stand up for all people within the country, including the much maligned and attacked rohingya community, and today she just hasn't done that. in the lectures for the bbc she talked about basic human rights for all — now, was thatjust for public consumption or do you really believe that she is equivocating over this or that she genuinely believes? does she believe the range or do not have the same human rights? it is hard to know what's actually motivating her at this point in time. there could be some political calculations. she is at the end of the day an elected politician. but her words, the words, they stand for themselves. she has spoken out for human rights for all people, whether they be citizens or not. so, any of this domestic rhetoric that says these

their divided over how much san suu kyi has to speak out. kyi remains a respected person, and they are hoping she will eventually add and do something good. cartons are much harsher in their judgment. this one by danish cartoonist, we see the leader wearing what looks like her nobel peace prize, but it is actually a landmine if you look closer. that refers to preventing rohingya people from coming back and also to kill people fleeing. genie: what is happening on the ground? alison: as you said before come over 300,000 people have fled over the border into bangladesh, and bangladesh is struggling to deal with that influx of refugees. burma. is going on in "the daily star" describes one reporter who saw a seven-year-old refugee in the ounds allwith all w over his body. it is not the photo you see behind me. they want to publish the photo, but they want to "show the brutality of burmese security forces."looking at the roles of ngo 's, where all of the violences taking place, the site has been critical of suki in the -- of suu kyi in the past, b

what we have been able to do with aung san suu kyi was ata able to do with aung san suu kyi was at ain moment to come to an understanding of this problem, the problem of the rohingya muslims in myanmar, it should be solved. we came to an agreement on what needs to be done. unfortunately, now, with the situation, being much more difficult, when it is to be done is to recognise these people have rights, to allow, even if the nationality of myanmar is not perfect, to allow them to receive the nationality according to their law, to receive it, and to allow all others to receive a legal status aiming at freedom of movement, possibility of access to labour markets, and to allow them to have a normal life. what did she say to you? the problem is that the impact that was necessary on the ground to make this happen never occurred. u nfortu nately, make this happen never occurred. unfortunately, this was compounded by the terrible grammar after the attack by these military groups on installations. there was violent repression, notjust by the army, as you mentioned, but radical groups. that has

if she says something, it could hurt. —— aung san suu kyi is worried.t an option for her. she needs to speak out about this. and how she speaks will be scrutinised by the international community. at this point, what is important to her is her popularity at home, rather than the jeers from the international community. but there is heavy pressure from the international community, phil, including a un official calling at ethnic cleansing. so what is the next step from the international response? well, our view is that we need to focus more attention on the burmese military, as these are the people who are carrying this out. frankly, this is a tactic the burmese military has used many times in the past against many ethnic groups. it has been an effective strategy, and very brutal, especially targeting civilians as an attempt to get to insurgents. we want to call for a global arms embargo against burma, to make sure that they realise they will lose support if they continue with this ethnic cleansing policy. we have delivered there. thank you for your insight

so why has aung sang suu kyi remained silent on the suffering of the rohingya?iewed her several times over the years, has this report, which does contain flashing photography. against the tyranny of dictatorship, she was the perfect symbol — a compelling voice, articulating the language of universal human rights. great prizes followed, a nobel laureateship for peace. but house arrest, the destruction of her family life were the price for what seemed an unbending commitment to human rights. and yet she defends a brutal military crackdown that has uprooted more than 100,000 people. today she was welcoming india's supportive prime minister and denouncing terror attacks on police and border posts by rohingya militants. so we believe that together we can work to make sure that terrorism is not allowed to take root on our soil or on the soil of our neighbouring countries. decades of discrimination and anti—rohingya violence helped create the animosity out of which militant violence grew. in a place where most of their buddhist neighbours live in extreme poverty, the r

she won the nobel peace prize, but now aung san suu kyi is under fire for not speaking out about theght of muslims in her country. motty is ready to hang up his commentator‘s mic. how will football survive without him and his gags? i did my first ever commentary for bbc television from this very gantry, and in those days no one had ever heard of the internet, although i can vouch that once upon a time i did say it's in the net. and coming up in sportsday on bbc news: andy murray has confirmed he's unlikely to play for the rest of the tennis season after battling with a hip injury. he's hoping to return injanuary. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. it's a leaked document of an early draft, but the revelation of the government's thinking on immigration after brexit has produced both political opposition and business concern. today ministers have been explaining why they believe low—skilled immigration from the eu should be restricted. theresa may said free movement hurt some of the lowest—paid workers in the uk. but business leaders say eu workers are good for the economy

i asked nita may of the bbc burmese service what aung san suu kyi is expected to say. is national reconciliation and peace process. she will mainly emphasise on peace process and how to reconcile the whole nation. because she has always emphasised the reconciliation since she got into power. she is meeting with these ethnic leaders from time to time to have this agreement during her ruling. so, you believe that she will, after a lot of mounting pressure from all corners of the world, finally say something about the plight of the rohingya people? of course, that is why she is talking in english. she was to make clear what she is going to speak about but for the burmese audiences, there may be some sort of subtitles. she is to let the international communities know that she is in a difficult position. she is facing four faces, the military, the countrymen, the voters and the rakhine political parties, and the armed groups and the international community. so she has to explain her status, her stance, to everyone. it is going to be interesting, to say the least, to hear wh

suu kyi has also garnered praise from barack obama, bill clinton, and george w. bush.ation from human rights groups, some people believe that aung san suu kyi's hands are tied, that she has no power to direct or military, supreme military commanders, yet those commanders have a vested interest in undermining her and undermining the fledgling democracy she once fought so hard to establish. >> thank you for letting all that out for us. joining me now, mark theissen, fox news contributor and former speechwriter for president george w. bush. good to see you tonight. it is a complicated story, but we all remember the very devoted fight, and i remember her being under house arrest, she would lean over the fence at the end of her driveway to talk to people, they would shake her hand. she got out thanks to the support of hillary clinton, president obama, as you point out, and senator mitch mcconnell very involved, the bushes very involved. now she is in this position where people are looking at her insane, are you a great humanitarian and leader of democracy? >> it is very sad

you're watching the to view news live from berlin myanmar's leader aung san suu kyi breaks her silence on the road refugee crisis she condemns the violence but human rights groups say she's burying her head in the sand over the crisis look at the latest from our south-east asia correspondent also coming up hurricane maria devastates the small caribbean island of dominica and is now sweeping towards puerto rico in the virgin islands they are still coping with the aftermath of hurricane earl. and will they vote more than a million turks living in germany have the right to take part in sunday's general election but many aren't sure if they will find out why. i have to be so much gonna get to have you with us me and mark de facto leader aung san suu kyi has broken her silence on the ranger refugee crisis an army led crackdown has driven more than four hundred thousand minority muslims into bangladesh triggering a major humanitarian emergency so cheese national address was highly anticipated she's been facing intense criticism for remaining silent on what the u.s. . then is now describing a

yesterday i had a chance to speak with suu kyi on the phone. i would emphasize that she's the same person she was before. her position in the burmese government is an exceedingly difficult one. she is state counselor, but by law her civilian government had virtually no authority over the burmese military. according to the burmese constitution, the army is essentially autonomous and it has control on the ground of the rohingya situation. unfounded criticism of suu kyi exaggerates her ability to command the military which the burmese constitution does not actually allow her to do. and the political evolution of representative government in that country is certainly not over. she must and is working to promote peace and reconciliation within her national context, but burma's path to a more democratic government is not yet complete and it will not miraculously occur overnight. so i'd like to report to the senate that during our call, dol su agreed with the need for immediate and improved access of humanitarian assistance to the region, particularly

the organisation was banned six months ago by aung san suu kyi's government. of the rohingya, referring to them as bengalis. so i wondered how this monk felt about her response to the rakhine crisis? that is not an endorsement she will cherish. there are efforts being made here by some moderate buddhist clergy working with muslims to ease communal tensions, after attacks on muslims three years ago. the memory of that violence and the rohingya crisis has created pervasive unease. these muslims working with buddhist peacemakers, are worried. translation: i trust the current government not to let the violence happen here. 0n the other hand, i do not trust the army. there is an immediate crisis in rakhine, but wider questions too, about the power of the military and the hardline clergy, about what kind of country this might become. fergal keane, bbc news, mandalay. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: trapped in hell — with no way out. we report on the plight of thousands of civilians, in the syrian city of raqqa. freedom itself was attacked this morning, and

aung san suu kyi's sta r‘s fallen human rightings. aung san suu kyi's star's fallen fast.litary rulers. but she no longer has time for questions. reporter: have you become an apologise for ethnic cleansing? do you have something to say? her country's military stands accused by the united nations of ethnic cleansing. the defence minister denied it. translation: it's not because of the soldiers. the rohingya are lying on purpose. in fact, soldiers. the rohingya are lying on purpose. infact, our soldiers. the rohingya are lying on purpose. in fact, our people are the ones facing ethnic cleansing. the rehint see ya started attacking the security forces —— rohingya. rehint see ya started attacking the security forces -- rohingya. aung san suu kyi said the burning of the rohingya villages have stopped. there have been no conflicts since 5th september and no clearance operations. we too are concerned. we wa nt to operations. we too are concerned. we want to find out what the real problems are. but the burning has continued. the bbc filmed rohingya villages being torched within th

particularly from the leadership of aung san suu kyi?im minority. that is correct. that is why we in australia are pleading the international criminal court to put an investigation to the leaders of myanmar who are doing this, as they have done in the past, for saddam, liberia, yugoslavia. —— sudan. briefly, what are members of your community here about loved ones back home? there are a lot of horrific things they are hearing. there are stories about their sisters and mothers being raped and actually killed after that. the men are being gathered a round and being shot at some point. this is systematic ethnic cleansing. the myanmar government are wanting to erase the rohingya race. how you getting the information? because there is a restriction in the media access in myanmar, most of the survivors over there on the ground have access to mobile phones and internet and they are sending photos and videos of whatever they can. even though they area whatever they can. even though they are a motion all, there is still true to it and nonetheless
