the un peacekeeping mission which is separate from u.n.h.c.r. in the un system is trying in supporting efforts to stabilize the country but there are many many new outbreaks also of instability including in the qatari region and what we know is that they are stretched to their limits. let's bring in more on this story now i'm joined by malcolm webb has a new gannon capital cam pilar and has covered the story of refugees extensively the death toll has increased to thirty six we're expecting that it might go up what more of we learn about the circumstances surrounding the killings or we've heard from people on the ground as well u.n. human that came out to all of those that began with a demonstration by refugees who were demonstrating to the authorities they were getting the expulsion by hunger legal authorities from congo or to refugee. became violent gascolator and then we don't have that more than thirty people were killed five thousand in the violence that followed. that's what we know so far. and of course we know that hundreds of thousands o

refugees are waiting for their applications to be placed in the third country to be processed by the u.n.h.c.r. when if an end is al-jazeera colombo now the governor of tokyo has launched a new political party adding more uncertainty to next month's general election in japan k.s. promising to end nuclear power and freeze a proposed tax hike the prime minister shinzo alvey announced the snap election on monday put into music island of bali remains on high alert because of fears of al qaeda might erupt at any moment it's mount going is being streamed smoke and ash for the past six days and its tremors are becoming more intense more than seventy five thousand people have been moved from the area the volcano last erupted in one thousand nine hundred sixty three killing more than a thousand people. and the south pacific nation of vanuatu has ordered the complete evacuation of one of its islands because of a possible volcanic eruption there menar on amby island has been spewing rocks and asked for several days but seven thousand people in emergency shelters are facing food and water shortages the go

it's increased one hundred ninety five thousand but that's still nowhere near where groups like u.n.h.c.r. and other aid agencies would like it to be in order to talk more about this i want to bring in our guest scott craig he's a spokesperson for you and h.c.r. here in lebanon that this is actually a good place to be to actually talk about this so there could be all kinds of barriers it could be the cost of education because public education is free for the costs associated with education getting your kids to school getting close buying supplies meals etc it could be issues to do with children working to support families who have no source of income there are other issues such as children physically not being able to get to school and take the bus and many of those could be bullying it could be any number of things we're here in order to show you one of the one of the projects we support which is called the homework support group and here is the set i mean kids have been working over the summer today they're actually working on their language skills because these are syrian refugee kids

the u.n.h.c.r. team was on its way but i haven't heard feedback from them yet as to where they are . we have. partners staff junichi our partners including the medical staff to support the efforts on the ground right. by the area where this incident happened this is in the east of the democratic republic of congo of course as we've mentioned but did the shooting see the killings happen at a refugee camp at a refugee site or was it was this in a completely different area we're just trying to ascertain here whether these refugees were attacked in their camp. well come on your small town along one of the main roads. many times it is a. generally a volatile to ration in in sea that we were not particularly concerned about this group of about two thousand refugees and asylum seekers in the town where are. they live with they live with the host community there they don't live in a camp ok i question briefly missed a question from one of our viewers here who wants to know you know why are these refugees in

about the individual stories behind some of these statistics scott craig is a spokesman for the u.n.h.c.r. he told me about the need for public support. the situation with people living in low income countries is particularly. nine percent refugee children living in countries were able to attend say. so what we say is obviously much. to allow refugee kids to live up to the same hopes dreams the same ratio as number of children but the bottom line message is if you are a refugee you are five times less likely than you used to go to school and that's something we all need to work hard to change now this isn't just a problem in the middle east more than half of the world's out of school refugee children are in just seven countries chad the democratic republic of congo ethiopia kenya pakistan in addition to lebanon and turkey the u.n.h.c.r. has partnered with education above all based here in cats are to provide primary education to hundreds of thousands of refugee children through its program educate a child dr mary joy. is executive director of educate a child who what's up to us her reacti

honorable secretary-general, with whom we cooperated in the past closely, during his tenure as the u.n.h.c.r. it is not for the benefit of anyone, to uphold this system which no longer has the capacity to take concrete steps towards helping humanity in its current form. we want to the un security council to have a democratic, transparent fare structure. we propose the security council consist of 20 members with the same rights and competencies to serve for two years, -- 2.5 years, and which are replaced every year. as such, all countries in the world will have a say in such an important institution when it is their turn. it is imperative that we transform the united nations into a different body, because the world is changing. the world has changed. it is not the same world. when the u.n. was established --er the second world war, we should be talking about the u.n. which is being administered by representatives from the entire world and as such will be the embodiment of humanities, -- conscience, we believe humanities, and conscience -- humanity's, andcommon conscience. i urge you to take a

individual countries as to what they can provide or how they can help out we also know that the u.n.h.c.r. operations chief will be arriving to assess the situation for himself they haven't had as many that had people on the ground here but as far as a team really taking and documenting what is happening that is that process is now only starting but we also know that two plane loads of food from the u.n.h.c.r. have arrived in dhaka about ninety one metric tons of food they say that's all being transported by land on its way to cox's bazar should arrive any time now it's food for one hundred twenty five thousand people but still far short of what's needed as you have to remember there were still about hundreds of thousands of people arriving just here even before the latest influx about so that takes a number to around eight hundred thousand that are relying on aid with all the senior people coming in of course the refugees are continue to come across the border as well does bangladesh still feel that it is able to cope with the situation. you know bangladesh has from the start even before

threat of a grandeur from the u.n.h.c.r. speaking in geneva about the situation he says the cause of this crisis and the solution of this crisis is in me and ma and he needs the authorities to stop the violence and aid agencies must also be allowed to carry on their work they said they're also going to get together the next week or so to discuss the best way to deal with refugees in bangladesh and think of the local communities in terms of the epidemics and confronting the new situation. in south africa tens of thousands of people are taking part in a nationwide strike against government corruption and unemployment it's being led by the largest workers' union and a branch of the ruling african national congress which says the party is suffering from leadership failures the trade union has threatened to shut down the country as it marches on city halls banks and the chamber of mines it's demanding president jacob zuma step down and vest a geisha into state corruption and a page joins me now from johannesburg tania because sag

effort is already on the way but it just takes time to get there the big aid organizations like u.n.h.c.r. for example like i.o.m. they're already airlifting relief goods into bangladesh now they need to get them to the people on the ground and that's no easy task because first of all this is a very remote area the airport the closest airport and cox's bazar is a very small airport so big planes can't land there so they have to airlift those goods into dhaka and then drive them down or or deliver them with smaller airplanes to that region and then they have to get them to the to the people and now that's the next challenge because in order to do that they need a certain amount of infrastructure and most of all they need stable camps which the bangladeshi government has said they will set up now or with the help of these agencies because they need to distribute that aid in an orderly fashion to make sure that first of all they're not risking the outbreak of riots over food and over aid there and secondly to make sure that it really reaches the people who need it most first to me. porting o

her love and i thank you very much for joining us there you have it peter on a day when the u.n.h.c.r. is really trying to highlight to the world how complicated the situation remains for refugee children trying to get an edge of. nations around the world there are still a lot of concern here in lebanon about the fact that many of these children may turn out to be a lost generation. mahmoud thank you. because really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in argentina on the first visit by an israeli leader he's expected to meet the president legacy of mackley and pay homage to victims of attacks on the israeli embassy and the jewish community center in the one nine hundred ninety s. daniel swam the reports from buenos aires. there was tight security in some disruption for the visit to argentina by benjamin netanyahu the first by a sitting israeli prime minister it was welcomed by argentina's jewish community the largest in latin america. many israeli diplomats and ministers have visited argentina during the best moments of the jewish community that's why we have such strong ties with is

children and to give you some idea of why there is so much concern about their futures according to the u.n.h.c.r. in the past school year less than half of those kids had enrolled in schools here. for the moment at least these youngsters are transported on this makeshift stage where dreams easier to obtain in this unofficial classroom where they hope an education will always be available and they can do it is either in the bekaa valley where the. saudi arabia says it's foiled an ice to blow up its defense ministry headquarters or would be bombers have been identified as two yemeni nationals living in the country a security source said authorities she's going aids and firearms during the operation and the plotters were training to use explosive belts several people have also been arrested on suspicion of carrying out as in the kingdom it's not clear if the arrests are related to the. iraq's parliament has voted to reject this month's referendum on independence by its semi autonomous kurdish region parliament also authorized the prime minister to take all measures to preserve iraq's unity neighbor

themselves at the conditions in these camps and then report back to their individual countries the u.n.h.c.r. chief of operations is also going to be looking at these camps later in the day the u.n. h.c.r. has already. brought in about ninety one of metric tons of food and supplies for the refugees there on their way to caucasus bazaar and should be arriving any time during the day but vast those supplies are only for about one hundred twenty five thousand people far short of what is needed you have to remember that there were already refugees here before the latest influx so now around eight hundred thousand refugees are in need of food aid and any kind of relief now aid workers tell us are still another hundred thousand people waiting to cross the border there is also a concern about the fate of women and children coming in seventy percent of those coming in are women and children also of a lot of concern about women and girls who've been assaulted that their villages have been attacked and especially after they made this arduous journey over here they are in need of medical not only medic

challenge ahead that obviously the international community's going to have to engage in with the u.n.h.c.r. and i.o.m. facilitating that process but just how is it going to be orchestrated there really were no details there you know it's called scott thank you want to talk to james gomes zs the amnesty international regional director southeast asia joins me live from bangkok james on clearly been stung by the vociferously international criticism for failing to condemn the violence against the region joe but i mean was this speech enough to have critics do you think. well i mean for me and think of the speech essentially makes of incomplete and victim blaming incomplete truths because you know she certainly mention that the role of the security forces but stop short of saying what will happen when. they see evidence that violations you know perpetrated by the military are they going to escape with impunity will they be held accountable so you know in terms of having you know the military right as part of the problem didn't come on to me and secondly you know with the better for cation proce

live pictures from bangladesh to recap another top story the u.n.h.c.r. saying really for up to four hundred thousand injured will soon be dispatched aid agencies along the border have been overwhelmed by the number of refugees entering the area since the crackdown in myanmar last month. the inquiry into one of the worst fire disasters in modern european history is now beginning in the u.k. at least eighty people were killed in london's grenfell towers in june it started on the fourth floor and spread through the twenty four storey building in the early hours of the morning the investigation is expected to look at several factors including building regulations and the response of local government to be phillips has more now from west london. at this church in west london very much in the shadow of grenfell tower victims of the fire survivors local residents have been gathering to hear some martin more bake give his opening statement what the retired judge said was that his inquiry would have to face is the first look at the specifics of the fire how it sp

seeing is starting to happen is that the big international organizations aid organizations like u.n.h.c.r. like i.o.m. come in and they're already doing that they're airlifting relief goods into bangladesh and now they have to get them to the people on the ground which is a difficult task because it requires some sort of infrastructure and what it requires first of all are stable camps where they can hand out and distribute that aid without running the risk of starting a riot over food terry and me almost a factual leader and she says her country is prepared to take back refugees now what are the prospects of the redemption returning to myanmar briefly if you can. well it really depends i think on under what conditions they can return because because we're already with there are already many internally displaced growing up people in myanmar and they're living in closed off camps basically they've been described often these camps as as open air prisons now the question is if if these refugees really are allowed to return which is also of course what bangladesh wants can they return to thei

that our multilateral institutions can deliver the aspirations on which they were founded think of u.n.h.c.r. looking after those who've been driven out of their homes the o.p.c. w. striving for a world free of chemical weapons unicef helping children in danger these are all vital missions where the u.n. surely has a unique role to play and that is why the u.k. has over seventy years been such a pioneering supporter of these organizations and more but we should also acknowledge that throughout its history the un has suffered from a seemingly unbridgeable gap between the nobility of its purposes and the effectiveness of its delivery when the need for multilateral action has never been greater the shortcomings of the un and its institutions risk undermining the confidence of states as members and donors even more importantly they risk the confidence and faith of those who rely upon the blue helmets who rely upon that sinai stand in front of today coming to their aid in the darkest of hours so we must begin by supporting the ambitious reform agenda that secretary-general good terror's is now le

compromise the netherlands and canada backing the resolution at the un human rights council the u.n.h.c.r. says that it had verified over five thousand civilian deaths in the war mainly due to airstrikes by the saudi led coalition rights groups like human rights watch have accused the coalition of war crimes. breaking news the reports of an explosion at a cricket stadium in the afghan capital kabul at least two people are reported to have died in the attack of a cricket tournament was under way when that blast occurred details still fairly sketchy at the moment we're working to find out what is actually happened we'll bring you more details as and when we have them. south korean scientists say they've detected a radioactive gas from the north's most recent nuclear test but can't be certain whether the test had been for a hydrogen bomb also solar has released new video showing its preparation for a possible pyongyang attack andrew thomas reports from seoul. this time it is south korea releasing video of a missile test film the south korean military says on choose day and if if team k. figh

aid agencies like the u.n.h.c.r. human rights watch have expressed alarm over the planned relocation. we began our journey on a sea truck from chittagong to sandwip island. we traveled first by sea truck, then by a private boat where a local fishermen agreed to take us to the island. it was a dangerous journey, as pirates are known to control these seas and take hostages for people ransom. but the island is not easy to access. the tides are too high on the bigger ship so we had to take a small boat to take us to the island. we just made it to the island. we managed to find a muddy bog to land near, and get across to the island. the government has already moved forward with the plan of making the island more habitable by planting trees. but this local official doesn't want the rohingyas moving into his district. he thinks it will create more problems for his community. >> ( translated ): the past history the rohingya were related to the drug problem, they are linked to drugs, linked to smuggling. most of the people he

alarmed and concerned that yesterday's incident at a refugee shelter housing mostly women and children u.n.h.c.r. emphasizes the drift victims of violence and persecution and need international protection and assistance. but that appeal went unheeded as a single a nationalist force staged demonstration outside the un headquarters in colombo it accuses the refugee agency of interfering in sri lanka's sovereignity which it says is being threatened by the group of ranger. the lawyer for the group says the refugees feared for their lives as violent demonstrators tried to break down the gate of the safe house behind me stone windows and even scaled the walls as the police stood by watching the ranger muslims have now been moved to a detention center in both in the south of supposedly for their own safety zero obtained this video filmed inside the facility women and young children housed in a row of cells usually used for prisoners and terror suspects. the refugees were shaken by the siege of their safe house on tuesday but say they're just glad to be alive and will make the best of their new lodgings

through the cracks and definitely tertiary absolutely false through the cracks it's not the core from u.n.h.c.r. or care or any of these organizations their their primary focus is safety it's security and it's primary and secondary tertiary and vocational training perhaps in some of these instances but absolutely tertiary is not a focus and. for me that is so critical imagine these are adolescents the last thing you want to do is give adolescents a lot of time and being in limbo and doing nothing especially when they're so close to still. syria where you have all these terrorist groups ready to recruit and this is the prime age of recruitment is the adolescent age so for me finding a solution for these kids to go to tertiary school and i prefer taking them like i said outside also these governments they actually are ok with us taking them outside because there are so many of them there that we're taking them to incredible universities around the world and we're getting top class education and we need to help get these kids prepared so when things are better in syria or sudan or somalia they are
