And connect those local insurgencies globally this is the challenge that were dealing with and so our initial assessment is these are local tribal fighters that are associated with isis the incident took place in a remote area of new shares border with mali the region that also includes neighboring countries of chad mauritania and burkina faso is facing an ongoing challenge against armed groups to help with the fight the u. S. Has around a thousand troops in the up from one hundred in two thousand and thirteen they share intelligence and help train local forces the incident in e. J.

Theres been more fighting between Kurdish Peshmerga and Iraqi Government forces close to a key oil pipeline up in the north of the ton of fires kabul is the iraqs borders with both syria and turkey commanders say they stopped Government Troops advancing towards the south of the time Stephanie Deca has more from bill stuff weve got these reports of these border skirmishes what else do we know. From what we understand and there was a confrontation around the area of mahmoudiya this is around forty kilometers south of that Border Crossing that you were referring to and of course this is an important area peter its theres two Border Crossings in that area also it which has been contested its two points on the border with iraq and syria if you go further north again as you mentioned significant fish the border really all not to try troll border between turkey iran and syria and also the Oil Pipelines the one from iraq and the kurdish one that was built in the last few years go through that what were seeing now and we do know that secretary of state. Is really cooling for dialogue between the two signs but its got to do with repositioning territory now that the fight against i still is pretty much over in terms of that territory its now who controls what what the kurds want and the interesting thing is this is what ten percent actually said two days ago that this was about going back to Locations Held before two thousand and fourteen before the push against isis because the kurds got a lot of territory because of how they for these areas what the iraqis seem to want is to go to back to something called the blue line this it was implemented in one nine hundred ninety one by the u. N. To protect the kurds from Saddam Hussein very different territorial demarcations so were going to have to wait and see how this plays out and of course the Border Crossing or is hugely significant to the oil pipeline so i think this will be an interesting one to watch and the Parliament Session down in baghdad what do you think theyre discussing. While one of the main things theyre discussion is elections elections were supposed to be held here november first parliamentary elections that was postponed now theyre trying to debate on whether and vote in fact whether there should be held within eight months of the reports of perhaps two years well have to wait and see theyre talking about that and also theyll be discussing on the last events of the last week huge losses for the kurds here charged. Real losses the loss of her coke really peter is the economic heartbeat that could have sustained any potential state you cant underestimate what the territorial loss means so theyre going to have to regroup theyre going to have to figure out how to stay united because of course is a lot of fractions between the parties here too and figure out how best to move forward with baghdad and again they have said theyre willing you know to engage in dialogue that hasnt happened yet but i think debating all those things and seeing what kind of path theyre going to try next stephanie thank you.

The u. S. Is considering sanctions against me and mom for its treatment of the range of muslims the state Department Says it may use the human rights law to target leaders or groups involved in the violence in the state of rakhine more than six hundred thousand range of fled to bangladesh to escape a military crackdown i mean. Hes a sions of ethnic cleansing and the un is under pressure to do more to ease the growing humanitarian crisis for the injured in camps in bangladesh aid agencies say the u. N. Needs to get local groups involved to improve efficiency and to cut costs the u. N. Has raised more than three hundred Million Dollars out of the four hundred thirty four million it wants to raise for the relief effort time be a charm for you has more now from coxs bazar on the border with me and im.

Rice and potatoes and the like action for how god. Created Us International set up camps in various after the areas to provide hot meals this really helping out nearly close to three hundred forty thousand children among the new raf it is but food is a major challenge for nearly every record is one of those Government International agencies are doing their best to provide their basic needs at current time. Benjamin is a walkie hes an independent asia analyst he joins us now from bangkok. Sanctions what will they actually achieve. Well its hard to say theyre looking at asset freezes potentially against some targeted burmese individuals of members of the military possibly travel or visa bans and also prevent preventing american citizens from doing business with these people but look its been a month since this campaign of ethnic cleansing has begun well over six hundred thousand bridges have been if successfully cleanse from myanmar with very little possibility of return any preventative elements of these sanctions has long pent a long since past its sell by date the only thing left now is a sort of punitive element to that remains to be seen whether or not they will be felt as such by these by these generals that are being targeted if the u. S. Or the u. N. Or indeed any other country goes for some sort of Economic Impact package that involves broader sanctions might that work. Well it didnt work before one needs to keep in mind there was a broad set of economic sanctions in place for over a decade through october of last year that was initially ineffective in eventually counterproductive visa vi the kind of Economic Opportunities that myanmar had with india with china it with other players in the region i think the targeted sanctions that are being suggested today are far more appropriate but again there are a month late there simply being proposed as opposed to being fully and acted. And if theyre not effective if they if they dont in fact have a punitive effect on these generals they need to be strengthened and widened and or something by way of military force projection should be considered as well a military force projection what you mean by that. Well for the first and foremost an arms embargo would be would be effective against the military. Moreover its its interesting that these these sanctions are being limited to the generals who are considered to be the most proximate cause of these crimes against humanity of the ethnic cleansing of their hinges whereas on song suchi for example is not it is not being looked at as a target of these sanctions and although it is true that constitutionally she is removed from having a lot of power over the military her attitude toward the ethnic cleansing has been has been one of near contempt and of denial now for for a month the u. S. Should certainly consider widening those sanctions beyond the generals when it was burma and when it was just the military when she was famously on the house arrest the the the military were kind of coated in teflon nothing go to them nothing made them be less isolationist will change how they ran the country they were coated into long then they still coated in tough long today. They are in so far as india and in particular china. Has no issue at all with this this campaign of ethnic cleansing if you look at look at the statements coming out of those countries again particularly out of beijing the. Even saying we support your your campaign against terrorism we support your campaign to maintain order and stability and the economic links with china are so much more developed with the us thanks to those economic sanctions as we spoke of earlier that were in effect for more than a decade prior that theres very little the u. S. Can do now especially a month after the campaign has begun and is largely successful there is going to put a dent in the tough one that you speak of benjamins iraqi thank you. The u. N. Says there are signs of possible genocide in the Central African republic is fighting intensifies between rebel groups then the un secretary general and tony good terrorist is there on tuesday he wants more peacekeepers smith reports now from the capital. The streets of bangkok at first feel like any central west african town bustling with activity but if you scratch beneath the surface and Start Talking to people you realize this is a deeply divided country just days ago hundreds of muslims were killed by a Militia Group led by christians and animists in this part of the city people now fear that muslims will attack them such is the level of distrust between the two population this you did not see was that the building was enormous you scared of muslim s. M. S. And mom while you join up better do. You still do good if it was easy to. Be quite done to people in. The museum he saying that muslims hes afraid of them that they kill people and they have no respect for anyone here now if you were wearing a skull cap if you show any outward sign of your muslim religion here then you risk being lynched until you get terrorists up once more troops on the ground hes calling for nine hundred extra troops in order to help the Twelve Thousand u. N. Peacekeepers. Here to try to protect the population but its not without controversy because some of these troops have been accused by Human Rights Organization of sexually abusing the people that they are supposed to protect Young Children that are displaced until you get your it says that he has zero tolerance for this yet no one has been prosecuted yet and so many here in Central African republic are hoping that he would put action to his words and help this country from further sliding into chaos the european refugee crisis is on the agenda at a conference and italy today the country has been the first port of call for thousands of migrants crossing the mediterranean from north africa the two day meeting is being held by the organization for security and cooperation in europe according to the u. N. Aid c. R. More than one hundred forty seven thousand people have crossed the mediterranean into europe so far this year the majority are from nigeria syria and guinea but he says sees more than four hundred tons of Illegal Drugs in iran in the past seven months the u. N. Says Iran Security forces are making three quarters of the worlds opium seizures and a quarter of the heroin busts but people there are still feeding their addiction is in basra from tehran in the foothills outside to her run there is a rehabilitation camp for drug addicts thats where we met his son hes been using crystal meth on and off for six years one of two point eight million illegal drug users in iran easy access is a problem if you know where to look you can find anything in teheran and in all cities especially in terre haute easily you can just walk in there ought on the street and find some sellers and take your arterial whatever. From open on whether or whether you want to tell me what you know is really very easy a boss has been helping addicts for over a decade he says drug and alcohol abuse are global phenomena. Had drug smuggling and addiction are dynamic problems and cannot be solved just by fighting production and distribution of drugs we should face addicted users realistically to find solutions for this global problem and a government plan to legalize and hand out weaker drugs like methadone could help wean addicts off harder substances but the focus has been on Law Enforcement more than five thousand people convicted under drug laws are awaiting execution new rules could allow courts to spare the lives of people forced to work as drug mules but dealers will still face the death penalty. Iran is also a major hub for drugs being smuggled into europe the middle east and east asia the iranian government spends millions of dollars every year patrolling often ungoverned and rough terrain police estimate four thousand officers have been killed in counternarcotics operations in the last forty years according to the latest report from the un office on drugs and crime most of which sold in iran comes from of gonna stand and pakistan across the land border that stretches the entire length of the country now thats nearly two thousand kilometers of off an untamed territory the wild west of south and central asia traffickers even use catapults to launch drugs over the border and into iran it gives you a sense of the enormity of the challenge for Law Enforcement. Meanwhile rehabilitation has become a business clinics are popping up all over the country has some says iranians need more education about the dangers of drug use we dont have any discourse we dont have any bars we dont have any problems such as this car nothing and those people the young generation they think that this is illegal so it is good whatever the government said that its in a godly thing that its good that they are just you know making it illegal like drinking like anything like girls you know like your friend and your friend its illegal here whether its illegal its given you know that act that we are interesting to use that you see that some lawmakers acknowledge that strict rules arent enough to stop people from using drugs but in safe havens like this perhaps addicts can learn they dont need drugs to get high zain bus Ravi Al Jazeera to one. The u. K.

That the government did not grant us an interview but provided this statement. It says that overseas visitors are welcome to use the n. H. S. Which is paid for by british taxpayers and that visitors must also make a fair contribution if we decide to spend the money on providing a National Health service theres actually an interNational Health service for the whole world and thats going to mean british citizens are going to have less to deal with cancer to deal with long term conditions to do without any care so theres always going to be a cost.
