Surveying the damage with me Puerto Ricans fearing for what will happen today could help communities and why the muslim arabs are joining the kurds and turning their back on iraq. The u. N. Is bracing for what it calls a further exodus of the hunger of refugees from myanmar to bang the day with up to one hundred thousand people waiting to cross the border half a million behind i have already crossed since the end of august to escape a military crackdown in Rakhine State myanmar says its fighting separatist groups and denies accusations of ethnic cleansing and the u. N. As criticizing me on my other difficulties getting humanitarian aid into Rakhine State the access we have. In rakhine especially in northern rakhine is unacceptable and we repeat our cole to the authorities in me to put in place the arrangements to make it possible for humanitarians not just un across the peace humanitarians to do the normal work for myanmar has tightly controlled access to iraq and state and september leader Aung San Suu Kyi visited invited observers to visit rather saying had government doesnt fear International Scrutiny but canceled a planned un visit later that month citing bad weather and recent days a small group of local u. N. Delegates was allowed access and a High Level Team is expected to enter a rock concert in myanmar as urging the hunger to return to their villages and promising to provide food and security were covering the story from both bangladesh and me on my home as a young gone but first lets go to our correspondent Mohammed John june hes at a refugee camp in coxs bazar on the bonnet there she side of the border mohamad talk us through the situation there. Well elizabeth we could have a long camp which is where we are in talks this is the main refugee camp for the remainder of. Our apologies for the noise. Of using the going on right now so its a bit of a chaotic scene find us now and i would tell you last hour there is a very large line its just behind us past these makeshift tents it looks as though theres at least a hundred people standing in line waiting to get food aid that they so desperately need now i spoke to one gentleman a few moments ago he said that hes been in that line since six this morn. That means hes been in this line at least eight hours he is concerned by the time he actually gets to the tent where the food is that no food will be left and it really that speaks to the magnitude of this crisis so many people have come here and at the moment all the aid workers were speaking with all the refugees were talking to they are concerned about the flow of aid into this country for this crisis this is a crisis of the u. N. Is calling the worlds most urgent refugee crisis youre talking about more than a half a Million People just since late august the numbers are staggering and now were hearing from you and officials that it seems as though there could be potentially hundreds of thousands more fleeing myanmar in the next few days the next few weeks that the exodus quite possibly will continue now the conditions in these camps and you must remember these are makeshift camps the conditions are appalling the stench everywhere you go it is noisy ating there is very little food it is still monsoon season here and that means rain is going to happen at any time it is starting to rain again right now as it did last hour when we were last peaking that makes the ground the situation on the ground even worse it means that the spread of disease going to happen more quickly its one of the reasons why aid groups like unicef are so concerned that there could potentially be an outbreak of cholera everybody is doing their best to try to make sure that these people get all the aid that they need but theres so many people at the moment theres so little aid and everybody were talking to is just worried that this is not going to improve any time soon elizabeth and so many more people expected to come Mohamed Sahnoun thank you very much for that thats my homage im showing live and. Lets go see out of the mal home now shes in young gone for rise how is the government they have a spot on them to the u. N. Criticism the corals for humanitarian access to rockline states that they can see the situation that the in the bong that they have escaped from. Oh as of earth day fallout response from the main march thirtieth has largely been to deny and ignore calls for access authorities have told our zero that aid is being delivered to react kind states through the International Red cross and the mean maher red cross is the only agencies that are really operating there at the moment but its unclear exactly how effective that aid delivery is just a couple of weeks ago we heard reports that an aid convoy got mobbed by buddhist villagers as it was trying to deliver aid to row hinge of villages now this is something that we cannot independently verify because of course the media independent observers are also blocked from getting access to the conflict zone except on really rare government supervised trips and as you mentioned on monday diplomats went on one such trip they filmed burning villages and areas completely emptied of there in a very inhabitants so clearly this is an ongoing situation jony makes the calls for aid access even more urgent theres a birth thank you very much for that you are joining us live from yangon thank you.

Make sure no one is wearing a suicide vest and the car is not rigged says the trainer a threat to soldiers here know all too well many of them were children at a time when just going to the market in this part of iraq near the border with syria could be a deadly trap there all sunni muslim arabs proudly serving under the kurdish banner. We saw what the kurds did and what the government the kurdish areas are safe there is no security in places like baghdad we prefer to be with them and i was. There is a sense of newfound purpose and identity among the soldiers here. Ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein in two thousand and three this area was taken by various armed groups including and i and the tribes here frustrated by the lack of support from the Central Government in baghdad had only one choice left just seek protection from the kurds. And i career soldier still remembers when it was too dangerous for anyone in uniform to be on the streets he survive several attempts. I said yes to the referendum and yes to independence i used to say my countrys iraq united. But after the Central Government ignored us and let iceland areas i changed my mind. The tribal leaders to kurdish president Masoud Barzani for help now they fully backed the referendum for secession and. Joining the kurds it doesnt mean we forego all arab roots but its the kurds who represent the real. Sectarian with baghdad we are less than even second class citizens.

Anyway sixty thousand dollars put on a figure that can cripple small galleries but others just need to make one sale to cover their costs like this one. For one point two million. As buyers migrate affaires commercial galleries are closing. But without a physical space the gallery isnt allowed to exhibit freeze as a result emerging artists a missing out on vital exposure its very difficult for the smaller more bespoke organizations to survive because its usually a handful of people. There are models being promoted whereby you know single spaces where lots of galleries can share facilities but that loses your identity so artists michael pipers identity is key his work place with pop culture yes. Hes built his own brand but with no help from the gallery talent comes in useful to people who dont start successful ones you know its sort of like you got to have a real belief in your voice and what youve got to say so actually being ignored worked out well for make that forced me to look at other avenues the big thing for me was actually going on instagram so as some doors close the internet opens others transforming the art world into a Global Marketing operation Charlie Rangel aljazeera london.
