In relation to the ongoing system of a party that we describe in our report i think the world is way too willing to buy into the restoration presented by the myanmar authorities about the need to convert terrorism about the need to establish security and thats why we felt it was a very important moment to remind both myanmar officials and their International Counterparts that absolutely no considerations be it security or the need to convert terrorism can justify the ongoing crimes against humanity to justify the system of apartheid while european and asian Foreign Ministers have been meeting in me in march theyve been talking about the range of crises but only on the sidelines of the summit thats been taking place scott heiler has been following developments from young gone. The today Foreign Ministers meeting wrapping up on tuesday here in myanmar and there are some developments when it comes to the range issue they were really kind of carried out on the sidelines of this meeting and one particularly coming from the foreign minister of china he said that they would like to play a constructive role in dealing with the range issue they said theyve come up with a three point plan to help push this forward the first as a cease fire in right kind state and also the second that they say that there should be a repatriation of some of those refugees in bangladesh back to work and stay here in myanmar and third there should be a Long Term Plan to make sure that theres no conflict down the line now its unsung suchi the leader of myanmar on monday during this meeting she said that a lot of the worlds problems right now she didnt specify this to were kind situation here a lot of the worlds problems can be tied to Illegal Immigrants she said that about tensions she said that about conflict again didnt specifically mention here and whats going on there was also some comments coming out from european Foreign Ministers saying that they were hopeful with the situation based on conversations by lateral conversations they had with on songs to keep you know we know that the foreign minister from bangladesh was in town here in myanmar for that two day meeting he is going to be staying on for a couple more days words coming out that they are going to continue negotiating a repatriation schedule and plan with myanmars government now this is something they say its going to take place over the next two days or hes going to be here for the next two days unsung suchi has indicated that she would like an agreement to be reached by the end of the week with repatriation so theres movement on that front no details no announcements exactly how thats going to move forward but from both sides bangladesh and myanmar indications that these talks are really advancing when it comes repatriating some of those range of refugees. Ok we can go to have a child in our correspondent whos actually in the on the bangladesh side of the border with me in my hes in coxs bazaar that is of course where so many of the hundreds of thousands of refugees have found a certain amount of shelter there im just wondering rarely if ever has the plight of the range of people received so much International Attention im just wondering are people still coming to coxs bizarre is this still a steady stream of refugees leaving me a man coming to bangladesh. Yes not in the big ways like in the beginning of the end of august rather than beginning of september but the trickling down every day or every other day just last friday about four hundred reindeer refugees crossed into bangladesh the were stranded in no mans land and eventually what a lot in couple of days ago inside bangladesh we spoke to many of the throwing out refugees who arrive recently that what is the condition on the other side they said look we are not an able to get out of our homes there is restitution we have to have special permission our card in order to roam around we cannot go to the shops our children dont go to school we dont have access to medical facilities and many of them also say that any man folks particularly if they get out of their home theyre beaten and taken away to unknown destination even seventy year old child was taken away when the father was describing to us the situation is very tense out there they want to scape this kid there said that we had no other villages been by and we dont want to live there the situation is very hostile towards us so nothing has really changed the World Rescue Committee ly a beginning of this month said that they expect about two hundred thousand going to refugees to comment moving to bangladesh within coming days and months because of the situation down there we also got recalled that many thousands of rangers are stuck in bases on the other side of enough river and in the jungle what the concourse into because there is no Boat Movement with a bang with this government had put a severe restrictions on plying our fishing boat our private boat and to restrict them to freddie anyone get these that they dont want any more refugees coming in they want some sort of agreement made so that repatriation process at least initiated now on the issue of repair tray ssion that santucci say that it will be based on the foundation of one thousand nine hundred two agreement which is not going to go well with the bangladesh because it is according to the foreign minister is not up to date it doesnt made that requirement of todays. Dynamics plus it doesnt address the issue of citizenship it is only based on resident shape also the fact that me on my site and its policy that they will be confined in a vehicle Model Village which came under criticism from the un what is a Model Village exactly a confinement a camp because theyre not going to be allowed in the incest little home so that is itself with a very controversial thing and if it goes under the one thousand nine hundred two agreement at lisbon where the foreign minister said that only fourteen thousand refugees will be eligible to go back to me on much thats a very very sticky point in dade and there is no conclusion yet to any of the time they challenged he lived in countries bizarre thank you. Including. Paulo or metro thought it. Was. Really. The go price is topic number one is cast as foreign minister has another meeting with the u. S. Secretary of state.

Has been shored up the political process in geneva can start moving again well meanwhile the head of the largest Syrian Opposition group has resigned riyadh was made leader of the High Negotiations Committee in december twenty fifth he his space with the several other key officials are step down ahead of an opposition conference in saudi arabia as well as a new round of u. N. Sponsored talked to the due to take place in geneva a statement from his job did not say why he was quitting that the saudi backed tighe Negotiations Committee the agency is the. Main block for Syrian Opposition groups it was established in late twenty fifteen as the main opposition negotiator at the un talks in geneva is made up of several military and political opposition groups the agency has always called for the removal of president assad is the basis for any solution to the syrian war. Lets talk now to sami niger who is director of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs hes joining us now live from beirut given that it seems that the war is effectively over we just heard president. Putin and president assad say that the war is over victory clearly is with president assad what difference does it make that the leaders this agency grouping has resigned. I mean. We dont know yet if this resignation would mean that we are abandoning the geneva trog to the advantage of the sochi or a stand trial and we are abiding by russian rule to set the stage for i mean a political settlement its no doubt that the fight against die is nearing to an end and the war is practically over and every party is getting ready to go into the negotiation table its the time now to drop a political settlement now that the Syrian Opposition and particular ash and see is i mean in front of this china and it has already suffered a lot of divisions and its turn and division the Syrian Opposition in large i mean we can. Understand right and now there are i mean facing this challenge you will because they lost militarily but they have the chance to win diplomatically to have their seats and to make their voice here negotiation table to be part of the political settlement in a way that will i mean. Sure thats right can i generated because im not clear are you saying that the agency despite losing many of its key leadership figures still has. A certain amount of leverage if you like still can represent a faction of a faction of the Syrian People at the forthcoming talks taking place in geneva and searching. Definitely i think. It has been challenged by other oppositions group. Despite the fact that at last some clout on the field it is the more steady present that is. Despite all the short coming because. Several was from the Syrian Opposition because there is no better alternative to ash and because as well of Different Countries and what the arab countries or European Countries and even americans supporting this group so it have it has what is required in terms of legitimacy and once more there is no better alternative to this group now the question for them is to come up united and to have to make their voice here and to try to recover diplomatically what a military leader they were not able to achieve so i mean the idea thank you very much. Now half hour foreign minister has warned the middle east could be heading for dark ages as he accused the four blockading arab states of creating drama and discovered in the region mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al found he was speaking in washington d. C. As he ended his trip to the United States is our state department correspondent. Warm greetings at the u. S. State department on monday for cutoffs foreign minister. Thanks for. Bringing. Us thank you thank you thank you at the top of the list the saudi led political and economic blockade of qatar. Now in its sixth month earlier on monday i havent been. Told an audience the blockade is affecting his countrys ability to sell its oil and natural gas overseas but danny also said the bigger problem is this by launching the blockade the saudis that rockys the heinies and the egyptians have made the middle east more unstable regional players i think that responsibly taking political gamble with the lives of other nations citizens with no exit strategy the coteries argument is simple the blockade simply isnt the result of a spat between them and the saudis and the u. S. Should be worried but its not clear whether this new argument will be enough to spur washington to put more pressure on both sides to resolve the crisis rosalyn jordan aljazeera at the state department the us President Donald Trump has what north korea back on americas list of sponsors of terrorism but his secretary of state rex harrison isnt giving up hope that the crisis can still be so through negotiation she have a ton of police now from washington. President trumps of the designation of north korea as a sponsor of terrorism was long overdue you should have happened a long time ago should happened years ago in addition to threatening the world by Nuclear Devastation north korea has repeatedly supported acts of International Terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil. However this announcement wasnt a certainty some officials at the state department were reported to argued that north korea did not meet the Legal Definition of a state sponsor of terrorism two cases have been cited during the deliberations the killing of kim jong uns half brother at a malaysian airport and the treatment of american student who died of his injuries after being released from north korean custody neither represents terrorism they argued nonetheless more sanctions will now be announced by the Treasury Department there its unclear this will prove to be anything more than a symbolic measure given all of the sanctions that have already been levied against pyongyang something the secretary of state alluded to i dont want to suggest to you that the designation is suddenly going to put a whole new layer of sanctions olympias again i think we already have north korea so heavily sanctioned in so many ways with the u. N. Resolutions that have been undertaken but this will close a few additional loopholes all analysts are attempting to discern a comprehensive strategy for north korea from the trumpet ministration i think its disappointing trump came to washington as an outsider and i really thought that maybe there was some chance that he could have a policy towards north korea that would be different and more creative than the ones that the inside the beltway crowd have implemented. The North Koreans have said they would end their Nuclear Tests and resume negotiations if the u. S. And its military exercises with south korea the u. S. Has ruled that out so in the meantime the administration is once again relying on sanctions and harsh rhetoric she average hansie aljazeera washington.
