Teetering on its side this one building is now the focus of this search and rescue operation as rescue teams are back inside now looking for any survivors but as each hour goes by inevitably hopes begin to dim of finding more survivors the problem the rescue teams are facing is not only the weather here but also there have been continuing aftershocks since the initial quake they continued through wednesday now thankfully here thursday in taiwan to the ask the sharks do seem to have abated and rescue teams are back in there a small city has grown up around this building of media rescue teams that have been brought in from all different parts of taiwan to help in this rescue operation and the teams are also being assisted by putting up more metal trucks to try to support this building that have been fears at times of the building collapsing completely now it seems that they have put in place the props to allow the rescue operation to continue and the report from Amnesty International says the ethnic cleansing of the ranger continues unabated in me m r amnesty interviewed nineteen of the thousands of refugees arrived in bangladesh in december and january. Almost all of them describe how meum our Security Forces are denying them access to their fields and their crops confiscating their livestock and setting markets of and the seas calling this as forced starvation those interviewed said the abduction of girls and young women is commonplace and amnesty warns that these abductions raise serious concerns about rape and sexual slavery refugees also described how Security Forces set up checkpoints along the escape routes to bangladesh where they robbed them of their valuables and subjected women to humiliating body searches and the sea concludes that the continued assault on the dignity of the rangers shows that the International Response has been weak and ineffective and that the agreed repatriation of refugees from bangladesh back to me amar is premature well matt wells is a senior crisis advisor at amnesty and hes the author of the report. You know what weve seen is condemnation after condemnation from the International Community but there has been a real failure to act to impose real consequences on the me and our military for what is now been more than five months of a campaign of ethnic cleansing and so we think that there needs to be an arms embargo targeted financial sanctions against senior officials in the military who are who have committed this this these horrific Human Rights Violations over the last five months in the last couple months to me and more government has said that its ready to start repatriation their returns and what our report today shows is that the military hasnt even stopped committing horrific Human Rights Violations against the rango who remain in northern Rakhine State consistently from people who arrived in bangladesh and the last month or two you know we had reports of starvation of people whove been denied access going out to the rice fields whove seen their markets burned hers or blocks from from access to have watched as humanitarian aid has been severely restricted throughout northern Rakhine State all of this is led to a situation in which people are struggling to find food which is forcing these new arrivals to bangladesh and this represents really you know the final blow after months of a horrific Ethnic Cleansing Campaign in which we and others have consistently documented widespread killings Sexual Violence against rango women and girls and the targeted burning overhang of villages across northern Rakhine State. Holes in israeli media say the police will recommend that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu be indicted on corruption charges the Prime Minister and his wife are suspected of receiving illicit gifts from billionaire benefactors including a hollywood producer hes also alleged to have been involved in a deal with a leading newspaper which would have weakened the rival daily in return for favorable coverage the Prime Minister denies the allegations and says hes confident the attorney general will not pursue the case and run come center small from west jerusalem Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has long been defined of all of these accusations he said they are political in nature and hes used various different platforms to talk about how this is a political witch hunt against him now what hes normally done is take to his Facebook Page there is a Facebook Page has been very active of late talking about the operations going on in the west bank but what hes done is say to the israeli public that what is going on with them is a witch hunt against him but more importantly that the attorney general will rule on the rule will rule on the state of the law itself is confident that he can beat anything thats thrown against it lets take a listen to what he had to say religion short are you. Many of you ask what will happen so i want to reassure you theyll be nothing because i know the truth the state of israel is a state of law the law says that the one to determine whether there is evidence against the Prime Minister is the attorney general and he consults with the state attorney and the state prosecutor recently said in the knesset that about half of the polices recommendations and with nothing was going to happen next is likely the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu will find any kind of recommendation that the police make against him both publicly in the court of Public Opinion and if it gets legal in any kind of legal case lets see what happens if the attorney general decides to take case against the Prime Minister nine prodemocracy supporters in the thai capital bangkok due to report to police after having been charged by the military genter following protests last month dozens of other demonstrators are also due to appear at the Police Station theyve been calling for elections and for an end to military rule wayne hayes our correspondent in bangkok. This case stems from a small but symbolic protest that was staged in bangkok late last month by a group of protesters calling for the military government in thailand to return the country to democracy to hold an election in november this year something that seems increasingly increasingly unlikely the nine people who led that protest who organized the gathering in the heart of the capital city have now been charged with sedition so that carries a maximum jail term of seven years there were at least thirty other people who have been charged because they attended that protest now being charged with illegal essentially which carries a jail term of up to six months and a fine theres been a noticeable change in thailand so far this year was several small protests popping up in the capital city and in other parts of the country by people calling for the military government to return the country to democracy symbolic and noticeable because over the past four years since the military staged that coup they have been quite effective at stamping out any just sand so there are signs that perhaps people are becoming tired of the constant postponements to elections again the latest is that the government says the election will be held in november this year but already there are indications that they could be yet another delay and the election wont be held until two thousand and nineteen.
