the foreign office says they believed the gravity of the report warns the attention of the un security councilng this before the security council once the fact—finding commission have made their final presentation in september, and they talk about the need for domestic acceptance and accountability in burma. does that go far enough? the fact-finding mission rejected those domestic enquiries, that statement from the foreign office doesn't say they accept these recommendations and will implement them. so far the global response to what the un have said is genocide has been to stop a handful of generals going on holiday to the eu. they have enjoyed impunity and the foreign office have not even said it will act on the recommendation of the fact—finding commission, all they said is they will talk about them but it's time for action. thank you forjoining us. food prices are being tipped to rise as farmers and producers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather conditons. the cold snap earlier this year followed by the summer heatwave, have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by

both of those were action by the un security council and it is likely china and possibly russia wouldthe un general assembly could convene some kind of mechanism to gather evidence, so if there is a prosecution at a later date that process of evidence gathering could begin. that could happen, it is happening already in the case of syria. it is hard to see it giving up any of its generals. the uk is currently president of the security council and jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, says he is planning to go to me and mark at the earliest opportunity to ask questions of the government there. it seems as though the british government will lead an effort to bring this to the un security council in september and it is asking the myanmar government to organise its own enquiry. interestingly, facebook which has singled out the criticism in this report for allowing itself to be a platform for hate speech and propaganda for the regime has now banned many of the top myanmar officers, the first time they have moved in that way. facebook is hugely influential in myanmar. as for aung san suu kyi,

recommendation it should go to the international criminal court but that would require the un security councilchina will almost certainly reject that. they talked about other possible mechanisms, that has happened in the case of syria for independent recommendations were created to pursue human rights investigations into atrocity with the prospect of indictments later. that looks like the way they will go with myanmar, but the conclusion of this report brought together so many of the other news reports we heard over the last year, absolutely appalling human rights abuses, systematic organised destruction of an entire people. they have brought that together, serious members of this team, and came out with these tough recommendations. it now goes to the international community, the un general assembly and human rights council to work out what to do next. myanmar 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 posi
