Considering it tactical for. Leader onsen sochi is at the International Court of justice defending her country against allegations of genocide she called the accusations misleading suchi insists the military has been conducting illegitimate operation against armed groups and that action has been taken against the use of Excessive Force on tuesday and through graphic accounts of mass murder and rape detailed against the military the allegation same from a 27000 crackdown which forced more than 700000 mostly Rohingya Muslims to flee to neighboring bangladesh. 10 deadly genocidal intent on the part of the state that actively investigates prosecutes and punishes soldiers and officers who are accused of wrongdoing although the focus here is on members of the military i can assure you that appropriate action will also be taken against civilian offenders in line with due process there will be no tolerance of Human Rights Violations in the rakhine or elsewhere in the amount or kind today suffers an internal conflict between the buddhist alekhine army and myanmars Defense Services muslims are not a party to this conflict but may like other civilians in the conflict area be affected by security measures that are in place. We pray the court to refrain from taking any action that might give weight the ongoing conflict and Armed Conflict and peace and security and rakhine. Live to weigh in here at the hague for is when 20 years ago this week on time so she received the Nobel Peace Prize and shes now defending the same military who kept her under house arrest against genocide charges that they hate talk us through what she said in her Opening Statement and how its been received. Yes and it was just 9 years ago in fact that her last period of house arrest came to again a remarkable sight seeing on the inside the International Court of justice for the 2nd time in a row this time as you mentioned to defend to lead me a defense against the charges of genocide this was a fairly broad speech that she gave fairly general in nature and certainly she went to Great Lengths to say that what was happening in Rakhine State was not genocide she gave a History Lesson at the beginning of the speech about the situation in Rakhine State about the long running tensions sometimes violence between the buddhist and muslim communities and again it was fascinating for what she did not say she again did not refer to the as she referred to them as the muslim group again she has refused over the years to refer to them as ripping good because as we know the rich not regarded as an official Minority Group in myanmar they are regarded as Illegal Immigrants and she also did not speak specifically about the harrowing allegations that were made by the gambian team on tuesday when they detailed allegations of rape torture and murder carried out by the Security Forces as they went through those reading of illegitimate Rakhine State. These proceedings and stan could go on for some time wayne so what happens next. Yes they could i mean the broader genocide trial against me and my could take years as we have seen with other cases in the past in the 1st instance the hearings this week are about provisional measures measures the gambians are asking the judges to order me and to take concrete steps to guarantee the safety and security in the rights of who are inside me and also the ones who have fled to bangladesh into may want to return we have one more day left on thursday and that basically will be a chance for rebuttals on either side they have about one hour each to respond to the allegations the cases that have been put forward by the opposite side and then that will be it for the time being the judges will then retire to consider what they have heard and they may well come back with an answer a verdict on those provisional measures within a matter of weeks and then they will decide whether or not must it here to the judges demands all the provisional measures to prove that the safety of the ring is being guaranteed or they may throw it through that request out thank you for that when he life for us at the hague and al jazeera Stephanie Decker is in coxs bazaar bangladesh house where hundreds of thousands of rang a muslim after the 27000 crackdown she says refugees have been closely following the course proceedings the consequences of the me and mars military offensive in august 2017 is turning this into the biggest refugee camp in the world one of these tents have a family a person who has the most horrendous stories of what happened to them so whether genocide intent of genocide is proven or not what is clear is that severe Human Rights Violations atrocities were committed against these people many people here are aware of the proceedings in the hague some of them have been meeting with community leaders. Being around a radio listening having them translate what is happening there theyve been calling for justice for a very long time but there is kept this is a also among some as to why unsung suchi when. She went to the court for her own benefit we wont be benefiting from it she was part of these atrocities against us she went there to lie and to gain public support for the 2020 alexion in myanmar she went to the ice for her own benefit. It is hugely significant what is happening so many miles away at the International Court of justice but whatever way the court is going to rule that it is going to take time many people will tell you that its not going to have an impact a real direct effect on the people here people want justice theyve been calling for that for over 2 years but they also want to go home now mean more hasnt given any insurances hasnt allowed the United Nations or any agencies in to assure that they will be safe if they do return to bangladesh has made it very clear they dont want them here almost a 1000000 people live in these camps in their future is uncertain chance petries the former assistant secretary general of the United Nations he was also the u. N. Representative in myanmar between 20032007 he says it will be extremely difficult to prove genocide in court. It is going to take quite a while to do well for the courts to rule but my concern is that it must not serve as a distraction from acknowledging what actually has happened and it is undeniable in terms of the definition of whats happened i mean there have been there was the former high commissioner for human rights set that what happened was a. Test or a perfect example of ethnic cleansing and war crimes were committed in the course of the fighting the fall of 2016 and. Been subjected to. In human oppression for decades i mean as the u. N. Rep at the time for us it was very clear that what was happening were easily qualified as crimes against humanity so i think the issue of whats happening now yes lets try and see if the definition of genocide works or is appropriate its not evident when weve seen elsewhere but i think most importantly in the proceedings is to to ensure that what is ongoing what has happened is immediately stopped and corrective measures are taken. In other world news authorities in northern india have imposed an overnight curfew in parts of assam states internet and mobile phone services have also been blocked in several districts have been large demonstrations in the region over a controversial film isnt chip bill police use one a can an empty gas to some protesters whod been blocking walls with burning tires out s. O. C. Indigenous communities will be marginalized if a hindu migrants from bangladesh on granted citizenship while the citizenship bill itself is being debated in indias upper house if approved it would grant citizenship to those fleeing religious persecution in pakistan afghanistan and bangladesh but it excludes muslims politicians and civil rights activists say this violates indias 2nd a constitution by discriminating against muslims the no house approved the bill on monday lets speak to our correspondent in new delhi on charge or so on to huge protests in the northeast of india and now a curfew has been imposed what are you hearing about the situation there why are people so upset. Well you know the Police Officials are taking preventive measures because there were very heavy protests in the state today in fact protests have been happening for some days now but today we witnessed massive protests outside the secretariat several Students Group on the streets theyre essentially saying that you cannot. Migrants irrespective of their religion indian citizenship what they are fighting for the sea is to protect today Indigenous Culture is to protect their language and also jobs they say they dont want more people and also this area if i may say ive been talking to several experts as some sort of a history of opposition to bengalis particularly so they dont want bengali muslims all bengali hindus to be granted citizenship for that matter while these printers have been happening we also heard that the indian army are column of indian army family thats about 70 soldiers. On standby in the state of us in a neighboring state which is put out there also weve seen protests of 2 army columns of thats about 140. 00 indian soldiers again on standby so the government seems prepared for perhaps even bigger protests to come in the next few days but situation that today was pretty dense are these protests and this anger and child is likely to influence the outcome of the vote in the upper house. No it mournfully because the bill essentially does 2 things one against one we witnessing opposition in the northeast of india and then in government says theyre coming up with committees and ideas to be able to ask the concerns of the people of the northeast but the government has the numbers in the upper house and it would really be hard to say whether you know the bill. Theres a very little chance that happens most of the analysts are saying the government has the numbers and the bill is going to go through but there is another side to this bill which is that it excludes muslims and when it does that mean this has to be seen in conjunction with the list of citizens of the government of india as ordered to be prepared in as many it wants that to be done across india if that happens there are muslim politicians and activists who fear that muslims may find it harder to prove their citizenship so we were also witness protests are small protests but we witnessed them in our legal System University a notification also in germany a university in the National Capital thank you for that update on child are alive forests in new delhi.

Now with just one day to go before voting begins in the u. K. Election polls are cautiously suggesting victory for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson by this sale the chance of a Hung Parliament and theres another factor that could throw the result tactical voting no and the explains from walking him on one of the key battlegrounds. If you wanted to find somewhere to symbolize conservative england then this would do fine working im in the Countryside West of london is well off and takes care of itself. And perhaps because of that it voted by some distance to remain in the European Union based party said we missed all of the referendum result despite the best efforts of the towns longstanding conservative m. P. John redwood is an example in this election the pro e. U. Forces see an opportunity to get their revenge on him and the timing really matters places like working represent the last chance for opponents of bracks its trying to stop the conservatives from getting it done but to do it in polls persuading the public to vote not for the part of them. But for the party in any constituency with the best chance of beating the conservatives and thats where things get messy. Here the n. T. Bricks it can do that with the best chance is a former conservative who defected to the liberal democrats were the opposition parties to stand down and give him their votes hes pretty convince he would win weve got a huge body of data with its neck and neck which is why for labor very even if you have told you know vote for where you are if youre a tory remain and you think breaks or is a complete and utter disaster and you dont want to then youre also voting for me and if you can coalesce those 2 things together then were not going to get out. And this is the labor candidate she broke her ankle right at the start of the campaign and is trailing in 3rd place but even though she cant win she resolutely believes she should not participate in tactical voting here might say to people you know your life oh my perfect you passionately believe in that policy but actually were not going to stand anyone here because we want you to think i just know facts not right democratic to get number 345. How the 2 main opposition parties agreed at the start of the campaign to stand on a joint platform then things might have been different but their general refusal to form a united front against brics it could be a decisive factor on thursday its the system thats broken and actually what were offering is a chance for your vote actually count and for increased democratic participation but daily we would love for the Voting System to be changed so voting isnt necessary unfortunately this election is. Ok. It is impossible to get around the fact that this is the brics election because the conservatives have made it does you know the stark choice for people who dont like it is that ignoring it might allow it to happen. And heres the full list of candidates standing in the walk in constituency 5 of them in all an interesting watch on Election Night weve got full coverage of course tomorrow evening. Now protesters in lebanon have tried to block the entrance of the French Embassy in beirut theyre demanding that no foreign money be sent to the country until he can form a trustworthy government this comes as france hosts a Donor Conference to raise money for lebanon which is struggling with this worsening economic crisis as in a harder has more from be what security is tight outside the French Embassy in beirut there was a call for protests to coincide with a meeting in paris france gathered together countries members of the socalled International Support group for lebanon to try to find ways to help this country deal with an acute economic crisis lebannon lebanons leaders have been appealing for International Assistance companies are closing the Unemployment Rate is rising theres a shortage of dollars the banks are imposing capital controls there is inflation so lebanese politicians appealing for help but the protesters who have been in the streets for almost 2 months now against those in power want to give a message to france they say dont give more money to these people who have been in power for decades who have done nothing according to them but accumulate wealth theyre calling them corrupt politicians theres a suspicion of corruption. For this government so we dont want them to get any money from now so lets wait for a new government of independent to know how to manage any eventually over the 1st 30 years the government has to be. Unable to manage a country unable to run the country for the same people its time for us to change these people and put new blood into the government where protesters want is an independent government that is going to lead the country until early elections but it seems the International Community the message from the International Community is were not giving you a blank check and we have conditions of our own theyre calling. For the swift formation of a cabinet a cabinet that will quote meet the aspirations of the lebanese people which in many ways means a change in leadership what we understand from sources is that the International Community would like to see a pro caretaker Prime Minister saddle how did he return to power hes a man who has good connections with the west and at the same time there are conditions for example from the u. S. Administration what we understand is they do not want to see the iranian backed hezbollah and its allies back in government and as well as not accepting this because this will weaken its political influence so there is a political deadlock and it seems much needed help from outside is being condition with a new government that will satisfy the demands and conditions laid down by the International Community in particular the west.

P. C. C. Says it will cause subtle but significant shifts and long term with the passions so drawing on the work of analysts and brief heres an insight into what huff a degree means theres a 10 percent chance of an arctic summer without ice at least once before we had one and a half degree rise and you can take that up to an 80 percent chance before 2 degree rise the number of people exposed to severe drought will go up on average by more than 130000000 with a 1. 5 degree rise and almost 200000000 at 2 degrees and the number of people flooded in coastal areas is projected to go up by at least 28000000 people every year by 2055 in a one and a half degree world and 30000000 each year with a 2 degree rise.

Hi im Steve Clemons and i have a question for you are you concerned that the worlds economy is more fragile than anyone is admitting lets get to the bottom line. You could always find doomsday predictions telling you that the dollar is on the verge of collapse or the Global Financial system is in serious danger but how much of it is true lets look at this clock this is a live shot of the u. S. National debt clock in new york its not 100 percent accurate but it gives you a good estimate of the American National deficit right now earlier this year it pushed well beyond 20 trillion dollars its 22. 00 trillion dollars now but what does that mean for the United States and for the world is the sky about to fall what do we really need to be worried about and what trend should we be paying
