Flooding in sudan has killed at least a 100 people and caused widespread devastation well have the latest update from the capital khartoum. And back home to a story in journalist returned from china after being caught in a diplomatic standoff. And im were hard in with all of your days sport serene williams Serina Williams books her place in the u. S. Open quarterfinals as she moves closer to a record equalling 24th grand slam singles title. U. N. Officials have labeled it genocide to me and most soldiers may have provided the evidence needed to prove it but all reports 2 men are now in custody at the International Criminal court in the hague in what could be a breakthrough in the search for justice over the killing of muslims Human Rights Group Fortify Rights says its seen taped confessions from 2 men who say they deserted from the me and mommy in the lengthy videos the men admitted to massacres rapes and the destruction of raping your village is theyve also allegedly named all those soldiers and senior commanders involved in the crimes. John jim has covered the range of prices extensively for aljazeera and hes joining me now mohammed lets just be clear 1st of all there are a great many questions that still exist around this video arent there oh thats right rob i mean the number one thing we we really need to understand about this is who exactly are these 2 members of me and mars army which is called the top model and how high up are they on the food chain are they simply foot soldiers who were carrying out orders that were given to them or are they in leadership positions that could make a huge difference when it comes to confessions that theyve made when it comes to proving crimes that the me and mars army have been charged with but it is obviously very significant because this would be the 1st time that an outside body would have heard a confession from a member of the tatmadaw when it came to the allegations of genocide perpetrated by me on mars military against the rohingya lets assume for the sake of argument that the evidence that these 2 soldiers is has been giving is accurate swap does that mean for the people of myanmar but of course particularly if all the writing of themselves. Well it would be huge for there are hanger there have since the day that the crackdown was 1st perpetrated against them august 25th of 2017 they were hanging out who fled that brutal crackdown and went to bangladesh have been referring to what happened to them as a genocide they have wanted more pressure put on International Bodies like the i. C. C. In order to compel them to somehow get their hands on me and more military members or leaders so this would be really huge news for refugees who wanted to see this for quite some time but in terms of trying to get this information to the hague to the i. C. C. The i. C. C. Has for well over a year now been trying to put together an investigation to launch a case when it comes to what happened to the ring and its been difficult for them its been difficult because of me and more is not a signatory to the rome statute one of the key things in all this is going to be what role bangladesh has played because the reports so far have have said that these 2 soldiers fled me and mar and went to bangladesh and were then transported to the hague and could potentially now be in the custody of the i. C. C. Its going to be pivotal to find out what role bangladesh has played in this because bangladesh is actually a signatory to the rome statute and they have assisted the i. C. C. In their investigation up to this point whether it is a case being brought against me and by gambia which is currently going through the International Court of justice this of course is focusing on the i. C. C. In the hague talk us through what the difference is. Well the International Court of justice the case as it was brought by the gambia and its actually now there have been 2 other countries that have joined that case with the gambia and those are the netherlands and canada because they those 2 countries do believe that me and more had perpetrated a genocide against the rohingya that is a much more fully formed case proceedings have already begun in those cases there have been provisional measures that have been ordered by the i. C. J. To compel me and more to not just preserve evidence but also to file with them every 6 months or so updates as to what me and more is doing to ensure the safety of the or who are still in me and more thats the i. C. J. The i. C. C. Of course thats the top court of the United Nations and if there were a case launched and if there were charges of genocide and were speaking hypothetically right now in the i. C. C. You could see a tribunal is stablished you could see people compelled to come to a court room and have the charges brought against them that could be you know some of the top leadership of me and morris military really what all this shows is that there is a Pressure Campaign by different Rights Groups by Different Countries trying to compel me and maher to act within the boundaries that they say they should because up until now its not just what happened in 2016 and 17 thats under review you have un officials as well as top human rights officials who have said for a while now that they believe that whats being perpetrated against the regime in me and maher is an ongoing genocide you mentioned before the of course there are so right in your which are who are in me and more water the risks do you think given the fact that you have covered this situation for a very long time what are the risks of reprisals against them in the event that this case does start to have legs the i. C. C. Its a huge risk you know all the running the refugees who ive spoken with all. The years are always very conscientious of that fact that if they speak out that if they raise their voices whats going to happen if they are identified whats going to happen to their relatives who they still have back in iraq kind state and you still have hundreds of thousands of still many people say essentially trapped in iraq and stayed because villages have been raised many rights observers have said that these are these rohingya iraq kind they have been fenced in that they are essentially living in open air prisons and so yes the risk of reprisal is certainly great and its certainly a fear they were refugees live with all the time and thats another reason why were seeing the refugees have been so adamant in asking to get their Telecommunication Networks restored in places like bangladesh and in fact it was very welcome news in the last couple of weeks when the mobile networks while not maybe being restored fully had been at least partially restored to these camps although not officially theres been no statement from the government saying that theyve done that but thats something that really has made the regime to feel better because they feel that with that they are able to get information to the outside world they are able to check on relatives in different parts of the world. Thank you very much obviously were at the very early stages of this story we are going to be checking in with you as we get more details about whats going on before thank you very much indeed. Well a prominent belarus opposition activist missing since monday has been detained at the border with ukraine state media say Border Guards removed media kolesnik over from a car at a crossing several hours ago witnesses saw her being snatched off a street in minsk by masked men on monday and taken away in a van it comes as the russian and serbian armies prepare to head to bella to slater this week to carry out a joint drills and bellow russian opposition candidates atlanta to kind of sky is says president Alexander Lukashenko no longer has legitimacy to engage in Diplomatic Affairs freelance journalist and very vital bridge is in minsk with more on media Calexico Bose disappearance. We know mostly from i didnt state media will from other sources because her lawyer still hasnt gotten any information during the last 24 hours weve seen this morning the video with the want to her team member who was explaining then that he has chosen to leave the country so that now we know there are 2 of them there now in ukraine and Maria Kolesnikov i couldnt leave the country because she simply tore off her pa sport so she couldnt last into ukraine because of the incident so basically it proves once again that sees the park boston wasnt willing to wield with the country should that couple of days to get to me that she will be staying here till the end fields of a career and today what we saw once again proves that the roots and authorities just try to keep count from the country the main opposition figures so that they would not leave. Even if they dont they defaulted but still they are very well known here people respect them average time to talk to them on the street during that brought to this incident bruised again that the Bulletin Board will continue the brush and now one journalist editor for one of the main Media Outlets she was in iraq then there are sort of the new apartment and the basically. The last sunday we see that the repression has gone back and that will continue in the next hours and the next day one of them bob is joining us live from london so as a backdrop to all of that nadines for the nonce but on its kind of sky has been speaking to the consul of europe i believe what youve been saying. Well rob i think you were just outlining the main thrust of what she was saying about future International Treaties struck between Alexander Lukashenko and any other party saying that they would be invalid because in her words she he represents an illegitimate regime behind that a comments from lithuanias foreign minister of course set on the ticket of is in exile in lithuania so the foreign minister on monday said that he was worried that belarus might be moving toward some kind of deeper integration with russia Alexander Lukashenko due to meet putin in the coming days so thats the basis for those comments on treaties but in this remote address to the European Council certainly taken off sky are also repeated the point shes been making for weeks now which is simply that she wants the outside world to get much tougher in response to the crackdown on protests and in response to what she sees at the rigged elections my country my knees she my people now need help we need International Pressure on this regime on this one did he do all this spent reclean him on to. Be a need some actions are indeed leaders who issue and exhibit your extreme now or this that is violating International Norms and human rights well in the last 24 hours the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief does that burrell has called on belarus to release all Political Prisoners and of the more than 600 people demonstrators who were arrested on sunday june a large march against Alexander Lukashenko and in the coming days we are expecting the e. U. So actually announce a list of 30 or so but russian officials who be placed under economic sanctions including the countrys interior minister. Bring us up to date from london name thank you very much indeed i want to bring in care got giles whos an expert on Regional Security for russia Chatham House and hes joining us live from northamptonshire by skype we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed for joining us i want to talk about the fact that russia and savvy are going to taking part in these military exercises in a ballerinas i understand that these have been planned for some time but it would be fairly obvious that it is sending some sort of message to go ahead with them at this particular time well thats right we shouldnt read too much into this because if they can see that theres always been a danger that russia might feel that it needs to intervene in bellerose through some kind of military means but this at the moment doesnt look like. Regular and its going to be so high profile very difficult on the back of it not some kind of russian intervention but yes normal business as usual. Thats one of the things thats been done its economics only about what exactly is there to them a question completely. Tell me about the involvement in serbia and this because up until this point to point out has not played a huge role in things in public life in terms of the weather gods of the protests and situation in bottles and yet all of a sudden we see it as i say still taking part in these exercises how significant is that. Again we shouldnt necessarily pay too much attention to that thats not political statement by serbia to just carry on with business as usual in a regular military strange theyre just theres a lot of the brother thats very much. In much itself it is the russian election. Gauging military cooperation and dream to gether and to show solidarity we shouldnt necessarily think that that interview with surety aisling about bill than about serbians relations except let me ask you what you think is in russias best interests in the situation room better or worse. Well russia has always will be trying not to let the situation get out of control trying to prevent it becoming unpredictable or unstable and up until now receive russia keeping their options open it might be that the best thing is to back the question for in exchange for what its concessions to get from them it might be that at some point they want to manage your transition to the opposition if they think that instant and that it will be present in the world faces that they were not in the state or situation out there be any danger that the elements might actually be on the tuesday that can be more or less but you know fortunately up until now they have not seen any problems they can get here and demonstrate that actually they want to turn their backs because that might be a most dangerous trick if the russians and. Do you think that given the statements that have been coming from moscow compared to the strength of the statements coming from onyx on the look of shankar that look is misjudging them out of support he is likely to be getting from moscow given what youve just been saying. Its not impossible now of course in question but hes in a precarious position he hadnt lost in that did he see hes clinging on through the strength and that were challenged to secure and thats not a sustainable situation long term without some kind of serious russian help because hes not going to be getting up anywhere else so yes hell be playing his come very carefully and he did that with a ship that must go to try to keep him in power but again the danger is what is it. That when he sells now to russia in exchange for staying in the case that she at the head of delhi. Let me ask you about the amount of response that there has been from the ballad Russian Security forces to the protests in many ways that has surprised a lot of us watching from the outside we expected a much more robust response do you think that to the future of alexandre look assange and his hold on power is really dependent on how much if any support he gets from moscow as opposed to the level of support hes getting from the Security Forces inside the bellows certainly the Security Forces have shown themselves to be recently and some stronger than many put in standing up to these like for instance but when it comes down to just by force or which is what the patient is doing at the moment they may be able to hold out for a certain amount of time especially if its not that nimble theres no sign of the test that will and its nice that inherently go to it coming out on the streets in the face of this if you were down at sea and the Security Forces trying to cling on to power and intimidate and then Something Else at the moment that you still see only but its not a sustainable situation. Chatham house we appreciate you giving us the time and the benefit of your expertise thank you very much indeed.

Clippers this player only used one finger to stop a boston. Severe flooding continues to devastate parts of sudan days after the government declared a 3 month state of emergency Officials Say about 100 people have been killed while more than 100000 homes are damaged flooding this year has far exceeded records set in the 1940 s. Calls in the nile to rise to levels not seen in a century the u. N. Is warning the situation may get worse with more heavy rain expected until the end of the month well for more lets cross live to logon who is talking to us from khartoum just whats the latest on the ground 1st of all of what we can see of the ground because i can see youre in the boat on top of the flooding. Yes indeed rob 1st of all lets make it clear that this area up until 10 days ago was a dry land people used to walk on their feet so they had no need for a boat but then 10 days ago the nile flooded the banks and about 3 kilometers away it was all dry land now you can see its filled with water not a dry land inside and to the left of me you can see the houses have been completely damaged many people have been displaced they say that for the past 4 for the 8 the 1st 8 days of the 10 days the nile has been rising steadily and forcing people away from their homes destroying buildings that are not very concrete not very strong buildings that are well built you can see that theyre Still Standing but there is water inside them so people have been forced to leave them now they say that the possum days the water has been steady and at the levels have not been rising but they cant go back home because the water is still there and theyre looking for the government to respond they say that they need shelters they need proper tents and overnight rob there was heavy rains here in the capital hard tomb so people once again work concerned about more rains more water and more flooding because they expect that with heavy rains that have happened last night and that will be coming in the coming days there will be a rise in the level of the water more than already more than what we can already seen lets talk about the government response because of course this is a situation that everybody admits could not have been forseen its very unusual what is the government been able to do and what is it attributing to the fact that the level of flooding has been so high. What the government did set up a committee for the floods 3 months ago 1st of all lets lets go to the background of this there has been annual floods in sudan every year with the rainy season because of many People Living on the banks of the nile and many farms being on the banks of the nile so the flooding itself is not new but this is a record high this is the highest its been in more than a century now the government has prepared a committee 3 months before the floods and before the rainy season but then we spoke to the government of the Civil Defense forces thats the body that is responding to the flooding crisis they say that as much as they have put measurements in place and as much as they continue to put measurements in place they did not expect the levels to be this high partly due to Climate Change and they say also because people have been moving to areas that were once what 2 ways where the nile used to breathe as the spokesperson put it he said that people now live in places where the water used to flow to make it easier for the nile and that is causing some kind of overload which makes sense which has resulted in high floods now people have been criticizing the government response they say that they have not seen a lot of government presence they say that most of the response has been coming from neighborhood committees from resistance from ities and from volunteers and that they need there in desperate need of medications tents and shelters so there is a lot of criticism with regards to the response of the government who say that they are trying their level best but that the best they could do right now is to issue alerts and cautious cautious wordings to the citizens who are on the banks of the now because they expect more flooding in the coming days you know super morgan talking to us from boys up until 2 weeks ago dry in london called to live with thanks very much indeed. Manaus leader Aung San Suu Kyi has kicked off the governing partys count pain ahead of novembers parliamentary election as likely there could be a delay because of a recent vising coronavirus cases Election Commission is set to decide whether the vote will still go ahead as planned a number of rocking accounted its have already had their applications to stand rejected its going to be the countrys 2nd free election since military rule ended in 2011 or budget well this is an Honorary Research associate at the Asia Research Institute University of nottingham in malaysia and shes joining us live by skype from quote import thank you very much indeed for being with us on the aljazeera what impact if any will these elections have on the Political Landscape in malaysia. Well i think right now the debate is whether or not theyre going to hold elections at all because a cold 1000 cases have been increasing quite rapidly its been very in significant increases so much so that the leading Opposition Party has actually culture a delay of the elections but that said the campaign started today and i think there are 2 very important issues to raise one is the integrity of the election process youve already mentioned that there were hinge issue is being the candidates and the no direct line area have been excluded in the end there are many parts of the country that are actually not voting and i think there are concerns about some some of the voters being excluded beyond the issues of the recall and then the 2nd issue has to do with the competitiveness of the contests particularly in the ethnic minority areas its going to be a very different type of contest in the 97 parties that are contest what are the key issues for people in myanmar who are going to be voting. Well the main issue continues to be the economy most people are concerned about livelihoods issues involving services and infrastructure also the issues associated with Health Care Bill that 1000 itself has become an issue for many voters because theyre scared and theyre concerned about Health Care Facilities and of course theyre concerned that the election is being held during this particular period as well is there any pressure from the people of myanmar to have these elections on the day that they were supposed to be held does anybody benefits if the elections are delayed. Well the opposition has seen to be would benefit in the sense that the current government governing party the n l d led by also. Is seen to be have a clear advantage in the contests and as a consequence you know they are pushing forward with the elections and the trying to stick to the democratic process as they are defining it in so i think the other opposition feels that by challenging the elections and grazing questions about the full process this works to their advantage and cullen pretty late is also part of that. Yes you mentioned before there are people in all kinds states who have. The rights to vote to remove or they have not yet had the rights to vote and of course some candidates are being removed from the list what kind of impact if any does that fall on the legitimacy if you like of the elections themselves. Well i think for the community that is being excluded not only there were hinge of that have been looted that have been moved out of this area but many of the other. Residents and citizens in those areas are completely being cut out and there are other fighting areas in the country that are also being excluded and this goes to the issue of legitimacy that a lot of Migrant Workers because of covert 19 are not going to be allowed to vote and these are again were talking about millions of people that are being excluded not small numbers and so the question of inclusion of different communities of different people of vulnerable populations are being raised in the in the debate over the legitimacy and the democrates that democratic Nate Foundation of the election itself. We appreciate your time and thank you very much indeed for being with us and all of us thank you i fletcher. Ok the weather his rob mccallum we know we saw those extraordinary pictures from in khartoum just talk us through the rest of the situation around there its an interesting time of the if a weather in this part of after anyway even though it causes flooding at the moment as youve just seen extensive pictures from khartoum where its been really the flooding that this is nigeria northwest nigeria in kebbi and this is also extensive learned from flooding and these these floods happened because the showers this time the come through in clumps this is dhaka in senegal similar sort of story if you look at satellite picture you can see where you can see they are definitely comes all moving slowly west woods and when these comes leave west africa they form into Something Else we have just had Tropical Storm running go through the cape verde islands he doesnt see in that often those not very far away oversee from the birth of these things thats the point im trying to make this is part of north africa is the birthplace of many Atlantic Hurricanes weve got to at the moment just come off for the same reason the code easterly ways when theyre in africa that they turn up and start to swirl so rennies over the very young and poor thats in the middle of nowhere now these things coud develop to something quite significant but they probably werent the forecast track for these 2 running important takes them both out into the middle of the open waters of the atlantic then theyll just become active storms and add to the autumnal feel in those in europe but they could have gone to the us in the next ones probably will rob rob thank you very much indeed still ahead on aljazeera why its looking more and more likely that britain is going to crash out of the e.

The u. K. s chief brags that negotiator has called for realism from the e. U. Ahead of another round of trade talks on tuesday david frost is saying theres still time for the 2 sides to reach a post braggs trade deal after Prime Minister Abbas Johnson made october the 15th deadline to strike an agreement well lets get more on this with lawrence lee in westminster and find a standard correctly launched the main Sticking Point or at least one of them seems to be that they cant agree whats going to be the situation with the border with ireland. It is always about the border with us and it always has been the essential contradiction really of the u. K. Trying to define or see itself in entirety from the European Union while not putting up a trade border between the north of us in the u. K. And the relative islands in the European Union if you cast your mind back which seems like a very long time ago treason may when she was Prime Minister tried to do this by keeping the border open having this thing called the irish backstop the conservative party didnt like that so they got rid of her and replaced with Boris Johnson who then signed it with all agreement with the European Union which put the trade board in the sea effectively between the island of violence and the u. K. Mainland but the whole thing is contingent on that being a deal if there is no deal which looks as you said in the introduction increasingly likely then wheres the border going to be where the trade border and so thats why the british sides have now flac this as an issue because tonnes running out is supposed will get done by the end of the year and the british are now saying if there is no deal whats going to happen with the border but of course the whole thing is absolutely insane its the europeans because they say to Boris Johnson angle you sign this Withdrawal Agreement right we thought you were doing this in good faith and now youll sign you going to introduce new legislation potentially to change the terms of that and we the european side dont even know what that is and said negotiations are starting its again this afternoon in an atmosphere of nothing but bad blood yeah and given that atmosphere what can we expect if anything to come out of the talks that are going to take place in the next few hours. Well ill be nothing in the short rounds and rounds of talking they can get anywhere and frankly both sides are fighting like 2 old drunks in a pub over things which in economic terms some of which are really in consequential like fishing rights but have become so tell me concerns of things to do with solvency and they cant get anywhere the europeans still dont know what changes the british side wants to make and theyre not going to know until theyre published in parliament some are so the talks are starting with the european side completely in the dark thats one thing which obviously makes things even worse so make it even worse for the british sites then the head of the u. K. Legal team is now resigned apparently this morning on the assumption that 82 things that what the british might be doing is illegal which is also what the europeans say clearly what Boris Johnson wants to do with this up to you but deadline is to try to force the europeans at the last minute into making some sort of concessions which the europeans say cant work because its all too complex to get through in a couple of phone calls but johnson needs to try to sell something to his brics is supporting policy and majority in the country which makes it look like a win for him it really in the sense he doesnt actually matter what the it looks like as long as he can say the europeans have bent over force its got to that sort of station now a brief summary of brags that according to lawrence lee its like 2 old drunks fighting in a pub that about sums it up lawrence thank you very much indeed. India and china are both accusing the other soldiers of firing shots in a new confrontation along the disputed malayan border china says indian troops crossed what is called the line of actual control in the Western Region on monday and opened fire and its soldiers to put it called Counter Measures but indias military has laid the blame with china accusing it of what it called provocative measures to escalate tension both sides usually avoid using firearms in the area between e. U. Has more on the reaction from beijing. Now china has called this a serious provocation and violation of the border agreement we know that things between these 2 sides have been tense for some years but if this is true this will be one of the 1st times firearms have been involved in about 40 years that had been agreement to keep firearms out of it but we do know that things have been escalating with both sides building up troops for the past 2 months staring at times at each other eyeball to eyeball the longest disputed area both sides unable to agree over this line of actual control which is further complicated by this complex topography along the region now in our farms have not been news that things did escalate in june where there was a skirmish between both sides then these 20 indian soldiers will last china says that its conducting negotiations and dialogues with the indian side there have been talks at Different Levels for the past few weeks including very high level talks in moscow between both the defense ministers from both countries just last friday but it seems that those talks have been very limited in terms of what progress they have been able to make and india also says that china has captured 5 indian civilians and Chinas Foreign Ministry when asked about this said they didnt have any information saying simply that they were continuing dialogue with india that they wanted peace but Chinas Foreign Ministry has predictably laid the blame for escalating tensions completely with the indian side and it is a bit put on them is in new delhi when she says the indian Army Maintains it did not go across the line of our child control. They are saying that it was the chinese army that tried to close in on one of indias positions and when they were dissuaded by their own troops that they fired a few rounds in the air theyre also saying that despite grave provocation that indian troops exercised great restraint that they are committed to disengagement to deescalation that china continues to undertake provocative activities to escalate and theyre also saying that the latest statement by the chinese army about the firing is an attempt to mislead its to investigate and the International Audience now this happened just 3 days after that meeting between the 2 countries defense ministers at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit it was the highest level meeting between the 2 countries since the current standoff began in may and we also had both sides saying that the other agreed to deescalate the situation after that but we have had so many rounds of talks at Different Levels since may and each time they maintain that they are committed to disengaging and get weve had more incidents including the most serious between the 2 countries in june when those 20 indian soldiers and a number of chinese soldiers were killed we do have a meeting between the Foreign Ministers off the 2 countries coming up again coming up rather again at that Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit on thursday. To a story and journalists have returned home from china after a tense diplomatic standoff which left and fearing arrest Chinese Police had demanded interviews with the men and initially barred them from leaving the reporters one from the state broadcaster a. B. C. And the other from the financial review so it refuge in a straining diplomatic compounds while their safe departure was negotiated it comes after the arrest of another australian join us in chong laid the works for chinas state owned channel c g t n. I decided. It was only through. The legal right to stand. Up. In. A country with genuinely. Yeah this is a whirlwind its not going to. Its going to get a good experience. Marcus strong as the president of australias media union the Media Entertainment an Arts Alliance he says china is using journalists as diplomatic bargaining chips. Were very glad that the 2 of them are back home and safe because in china theyre clearly not safe and this is a very disturbing pattern weve seen. Chung they is in custody not a number of reasons that we are unclear of and also we have another member of a unique engine losing john has been so for 18 months facing its been charges so unfortunately this looks like a pattern that the Chinese Government is using journalists as just tools in a diplomatic can you hear very little about what happens after the journalists are detained we know that that has received consular assistance but thats thats about it and this appears to be a pattern of intimidation by the chinese authorities to try to get the story of china told in the way it wants and i mean it also appears to be a bit of tit for tat tied in with trade disputes chinas long struggle with its United States maybe a stray here is seen as a as a pawn or a patsy for the United States its very unclear whats going on and its very disappointing because i mean china does not have a Civil Society where freedom of the press exists so its disturbing that that pattern is being rolled out against western and other journalists you know diplomatic game that is very dangerous for our members and other journalists to cover china.
