what one must remember that this meeting was shared told before that report from the human rights un human rights council was actually issued however the report itself overshadowed the entire meeting obviously all delegates mentioning the report in terms of the speeches they made to the council earlier we heard from the british delegates saying that before the security council decides how to act on the report it needs to go to formal debate with the human rights council which commissioned the report in the first place some other members wanted more immediate action from the security council we heard a very strongly worded speech from the u.s. ambassador who had this to say we are now all armed with the devastating i witness accounts of the rohingya which lead us to the following conclusions children they these women and men suffered unspeakable crimes the attacks were planned premeditated and coordinated the perpetrator was the burmans military and security forces the whole world is watching what we will do next and if we will. so is there any indication of what kind of action they were going to do next

since two thousand and seventeen washington has withdrawn from the iran nuclear deal the un human rights council unesco and of the paris climate accord. alright let's go live to david lindorff who is an investigative journalist and founding editor of the online news site this can't be happening david thanks for being with us here on our team international. so thanks for having. pulling out of the w t o would be very serious move. is trouble bluffing or could he follow through. with this kind of unconventional idea. well it's seems to me that his rhetoric at least is. example of a bit of megalomania because these are treaties these are not the you know the iran deal for example it's not a treaty it was approved by the senate the w t o is approved by the senate the un is the us a membership is approved by the by the senate and nafta is a treaty that was also approved by the senate the president does not have the power to pull out of any treaty like that it would have to be the senate would have to revoke the tree baby. big step and i doubt that there are the votes there from democrats who are goin

since two thousand and seventeen washington has withdrawn from the iran nuclear deal the un human rights council you know asco and of the paris climate accord he spoke to investigative journalist david lindorff and former british politician george galloway for their thoughts. donald trump is a bull in a china shop and he's knocking over all kinds of institutions this is just the latest china shop that he's lumbered around and he did the same with nato he did the same with the european union he's done the same with the potus climate arrangements done the same with the iran nuclear deal and so on so is the great disruptor. to have an enormously negative impact. the u.s. economy i mean the us is a huge trading country i think you would find in countries becoming skeptical. about any further dealings with the us including you know some of the us is the largest partner secure many. european countries in general and in asia i think it would be a hugely damaging to the u.s. relations with its trading partners. the president of the international olympic committee has admitted the war on doping in sports

the un report urges next month's meeting of the un human rights council to set up an international inquiryill descend into further turmoil. david campanale, bbc news. the campaigner and business woman, gina miller, has told the bbc she has ruled out a career in front line politics. during an interview earlier for newsroom live, she said rumours that she's being lined up to be the next liberal democrat leader are false. her legal challenge following the eu referendum forced the government to seek parliament's approval before starting the brexit process — inspiring both admiration and hate. she has now written a book about her experiences — and a little earlier she spoke tojoanna gosling about the current state of brexit negotiations as well as that rumour about her political ambitions. i think it is an impossible task to get a deal from where we are now in that ten weeks‘ time. and i think the politicians have to start, on either side... i think the divisions of particular parties or leave or remain, i think all of that has to be put aside, and politicians across the spectrum have to now be

until such a tribunal is convened, it says the general assembly should, or even the un human rights council to assemble evidence surrounding this case. and that's similar to what is already going on in syria, where there is isn't an international tribunal but evidence gathering is going on. they are the mechanisms they are recommending. will the security council be prepared to move? china will be a significant obstacle. probably russia to. myanmar isn't without its allies still on the un security council and that could prove an enormous problem. as for aung san suu kyi herself, i think her reputation, which has been steadily declining over the last couple of years, is pretty much shattered now. she seems to be in denial. she gave a speech the other day where she did not mention at all the situation in rakhine state, or any of these problems and was still going on about rakhine's beaches being the most beautiful in myanmar. it seems that she's out of touch with reality. whether she's even a useful figure for myanmar military, now that she's internationally diminished, even that is questionab

independent outside investigators from accessing northern rakhine state they've prevented the un human rights council's fact finding mission on me in my from entering the country and they've prevented the un special repertory and human rights in me and my yankee leave from investigating fully what has occurred in northern rakhine state but what we know is that seven hundred thousand disparate. refugees have fled across of the international front here in terre and that happened coincidentally this week one year ago so this day one year ago coffee and then would have been in me and maher preparing to present the findings of his yearlong investigation into the situation in northern rakhine state and central to the recommendations that the late coffee and then made to the me and more authorities was concrete steps and those concrete steps ought to have would have included citizenship rights for the world's largest stateless group the wrecking of muslims there are hundreds of thousands of who today will be praying that the recommendations coffee and then made one year ago will someday be implemented because

mechanisms of reporting to the un human rights council be made permanent they are in their recommendations that it is also that they ask the allies of the coalition to cease. armed sales and to support the peace efforts of the new un relatively new un appointed special envoy for yemen and martin griffiths so i think those are the kind of mechanisms that they are calling for. immediately visibly. and i agree with dr kendal that this is a turning point but i would emphasize that this is a turning point because this is a report of written by international lawyers with a large reason a sizeable team that was able to do research. for this report so it's far more documented than anything previously furthermore it puts the responsibility on the internationally recognized government of yemen that is to say that had a government to be providing for the people in yemen and not participating in it does not use the word starvation that i've seen but it is in. depriving the population of health and of a reasonable standard of living and i think that that wider emphasis is something really new and shoul

until saturday tribunal is convened, it says the general assembly should, or the un human rights councils case. and that is similar to what is already going on for syria where there was not an international tribunal but there is a process of evidence gathering that is quietly going on. those are the mechanisms they are recommending, will the un security council be prepared to move? china will be a significant obstacle, bobby russia, too, myanmar is not without its allies, still, so that could prove a problem. —— probably russia. aung san suu kyi, her reputation has been steadily declining over the last couple of yea rs, declining over the last couple of years, is declining over the last couple of yea rs, is pretty declining over the last couple of years, is pretty much shattered. she seems to be in denial, she gave a speech just the other day, a brief glimpse of it there are, where she did not mention at all the situation in any of these problems, and in rahine state, talking about them being the most beautiful beaches in myanmar. it seems she is out of touch with reality, whether she is

it now goes to the international community, the un general assembly and human rights council to workmyanmar has not call operated with this team but it is more belligerent and isolated. for ang san su chi, for so long as beacon of hope for democracy and understanding in myanmar, where does this leave her now? i think she's in an appalling position, to some degree self—inflicted. the writers of the report acknowledged that her civilian government has little authority over the media and did not plan this potential genocide but they say she has never spoken out against what the military has done, even to this day, last week in a public speech she refused to acknowledge the atrocities carried out by her armed forces. it's unlikely that they would lead to any prosecution of her but she has sided so prosecution of her but she has sided so firmly with her own military, that locked up for many years, but if this does go to a genocide prosecution and international form, aung sang suu kyi will find herself on the wrong side, put in the same camp as pariahs like north korea and the syrian gover

kids were killed fifty people in total and then of course just today there is that un report from the human rights council. which attributes blame to all of the warring parties and suggests that prosecutions for crimes against humanity could really be put under way as a consequence of their actions in this particular war so this is the issue that kept coming up time and time again james mattis suggested that it was constantly under review the policy of supporting of training and advising the saudis was something that they kept under review but at this this particular moment in time it seems very much as say they are committed to continuing with that policy he did say that an investigation is urgently underway it is it seems something that is concerning the united states and an investigation is particularly underway into the number of civilians that have lost their lives particularly with relation to this this bar so that's basically what's been going on we'll be talking to our pentagon correspondent in just a little while but in the meantime we're going to look at some other news including . looking for a

alarm bells ringing from the international community particularly from the un security council the high commissioner for human rights warning about a huge spike in violence and what's more high levels of resistance to the peace deal among those people who are needed to implement it that we're talking about political and economic actors legislative and judicial bodies civil servants you can't do without these people have a certain you are that this peace process is on track you can't do without them and they make it work in congress. they just approved the last law that was necessary to put in place transitional justice. the commanders of the fark in the last elections they voted for the first time in their lives. now political leaders and not commanders of a group. the areas where they operated are now areas where investment is arriving and the peace process to be implemented according to the situation that was chosen to oversee the implementation at a very very satisfactory rate so things are moving of course the expectations for many people are way beyond the capacity of any government to deliver in such a short a

of the high commissioner for human rights council and the office of the high commissionerfor human rights. there are steps that can be taken very quickly by a number of unhose steps be taken urgently. the military have long ruled myanmar, there is now a civilian government but it has many senior military figures in the parliament and still powerful in the government. aung san suu kyi is regarded as the titular leader of the country. you would accept that she does not have control over the military but what responsibility do you think she and other civilian leaders bear? there's not really a civilian government in myanmar. it's a hybrid government with both military and civilian components. and certainly, we can see that the civilian authorities have found their responsibility and have found their responsibility and have contributed to the atrocities. but they were not involved in the planning for the operations, responsibility for that lies wholly and solely with the leadership of the military. they planned, the fermented, they are responsible. that's not to say there is no respond to those younger part of the civilian authorities but it is far less and

burma is not a sickness reet —— signatory, but the un security council can refer burma to the international criminal court. when we talk about human rightsel 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 icc. when you talk about myanmar mac, we have the
