The World Health Organization has just begun meeting in geneva to decide if in about outbreak in the eastern democratic republic of congo is an International Health emergency the 1st confirmed case of the virus in the crowded city of goma was discovered on monday it raised concerns the outbreak could spread quickly in the densely populated area close to that on the border. Catherine joins us now live from nairobi so katherine what is it look like is the w. H. O. Heading towards declaring this International Health emergency. It was very difficult to tell sorry but before we go to that i just have a statement from w. H. Talking about a fishmonger who fell sick at a market in uganda on july 11th us just a couple of days ago and he she has since died w. H. O. Saying that it had yet to establish the Womans Movement or who had transported how or how good looking for those people 590 fishmongers in that market could be targeted for vaccination w. H. O. Also saying that this incident could spread the disease in uganda so this just goes to show how important this this meeting that has been called by the director general of the doctor. Today is its going to determine the risks and whether this is going to be declared. An International Emergency and as you mentioned this meeting whats called after a preacher was confirmed to have in goma that preacher has since died and weve been spoken speaking to Health Workers working in the r. C. Was saying that this really needs to be declared an emergency it needs to be given that attention because theyre not just dealing with. Just dealing with a bowl of a disease the dealing with a complex web of issues including mistrust from Communities Security issues a militia groups in some of these areas are attacking Health WorkersTreatment Centers as well dr ted was himself and calling for this emergency meeting some he said that this. Incident in goma really is a game changer because goma is a get it to other regional countries its right at the border with one day in fact one has issued a statement asking its citizens to avoid getting into goma its also a very easy to access other parts of the country from goma including can show us a cup itll city with about 12000000 people.

Misdemeanors Donald Trumps racist comments about congresswoman sparks the 1st formal attempt to impeach the u. S. President. Can install one of footballs most sought after Young Players arrives at his new club in italy. The u. S. Government is imposing its strongest sanctions to date on me and asked top military leaders they target me a mass commander in chief and several other senior of officers its in response to the mass killings of rangar muslims in 2017 the crackdown led to a humanitarian crisis with washington saying the government hasnt taken any action against those responsible for the human rights abuses. Lets take a look at the events which triggered these sanctions the military crackdown began in iraq and resulting in a large influx of people into cox bazaar now the Worlds Largest refugee settlement a year later a u. N. Team recommended the 1000000 man military be investigated for genocide in september the International Criminal court joined calls for further investigation ruled it had jurisdiction over alleged deportations of ring of people as a possible crime against humanity and earlier this month those calls were acted on the i. C. C. Prosecutor requested the courts judges authorize an investigation into alleged crimes against the ring of people namely deportation inhumane acts and persecution on tuesday the delegation arrived in dhaka to begin talks to have a child that he joins us live from there so take us through a little bit about the mission of the investigators there and back are today. Well i dont know if you can hear me im having a little problem the team is here since yesterday the International CriminalCourt Investigative team they will meet with bangladeshi official including the Foreign Ministry official as well as the home Ministry Official they have to work out a lot of protocols including providing diplomatic immunity to the Investigative Team as well as a Witness Protection Program for the witnesses things that bangladesh didnt follow the Witness Protection Program then that will visit the camp they will meet with the rowing or refugees including the Community Leaders they will discuss various issues theyll also have a press Conference Tomorrow and well know more about that now it is interesting to point out that a delegation a man my delegation rather is heading to dhaka and this man headed by the permanent foreign secretary also a team is requesting to independent Inquiry Commission taxed by the sun suu kyi to investigate in the. City is now it is still under discussion with bang with the government but they are willing to come here and investigate on their own men might have been given permission to i. C. C. Or un Investigative Team but they want to send their team here and we have visited the camps almost every month. To clear ration on getting louder and louder by their during a refugee is there one justice they want to return to me on my they said that we want some sort of justice for all that that is coming committed and this is getting more louder now this move and all this. Declaration by the us sanction and this i. C. C. This is their 2nd visit they came on march it is a good news for their owing as they feel more assured that something is moving in the right direction and well bring you more on the next few days after the press conference and their visit at their during a camp in the coming few days. Thanks for that. So you look at where this all happened when the crackdown broke out homes farms and mosques were abundant rock and state forcing people to flee their villages in a little over a month hof a 1000000 people fled across the mountains to bangladesh settling in the still growing coxs bazaar aljazeera is the home of june joins us now on set hes covered the hunger crisis extensively always good to have you back on set thanks. So what are people on the ground 1st will make of the latest round of u. S. Sanctions so ive spoken in the last few hours with several rangar refugees who live in those camps and coxs bazaar which is one of the largest refugee settlements in the world today ive also spoken to arrange activists and i can tell you that across the board what im hearing is that while this is welcome while this is a good 1st step everybody im speaking with is saying that this is just coming too late and that it doesnt go far enough what i mean by that is that one activist i spoke with said to me that the sanctions should have been imposed 2 years ago when that were now close to when the exodus started 2 years ago and he said that this should have happened 2 years ago that its good that the International Community stepping in that it is significant but ruhi injure a few geezer im speaking with on the ground there are saying we have been calling on the International Community to do more now for such a long time and while they are heartened by this move and while they hope it will lead to some sort of justice being met it out toward the me and more officials who they say are responsible for these atrocities they say not enough is being done so far and theyre not convinced that there will be enough pressure by the International Community on me and mars army so that justice will ultimately be done sanctions i guess alone are not going to bring people to justice but there are all these i. C. C. International criminal Court Investigators now and backhoes that bringing any flicker of hope to people there is a hope because of that but thats a complicated process when it comes to the i. C. C. Look i can tell you when i was on the ground in could prolong camp in. Coxs bazaar a year after the exodus began in august of 2018 we saw the refugees marching with banners that said that this was genocide Remembrance Day they believe that a genocide was perpetrated against them they would like the International Community to rally around that idea and bring those who perpetrated it to justice theyre happy that those investigators are on the ground but theyre also keenly aware that anything when it comes to this International Criminal court this could take years this could potentially take decades right now you have a process that started the investigation is not actually been formally launched this has been a preliminary investigation thus far and we dont yet know when the judges panel that is considering the prosecutors request to open this investigation we dont yet know when they will even rule on that. But also to stay with us could come back well get some other perspective probably but for now lets go over to james gomes hes the regional director with the asia center think tank joins us now live from bangkok good to have you with us so i. C. C. Investigate is. Starting this this doesnt mean a full formal investigation yet right. No it is not but its good they are closer to the region and i think this is how we should see the whole context 1st of all the u. S. Sanctions against the military generals is a little far removed from the region in fact the me and my elites are holiday in japan and in korea they are sending their children to school in singapore and packing their money doing financial trucks transactions that so everything is happening close to the region so it is good that the i. C. C. Team is here in bangladesh we hope that the bangladesh authorities give it the full cooperation it needs but i think the i. C. C. Team also needs to look at other asian stakeholders on the ground in cockspur for example the malaysian government has set up a field office sorry a Field Hospital in consulates are they have sent their human rights representatives to also take stock of issues on the ground in cox bazaar so the i. C. C. Team needs to be talking to you know government stakeholders from the region in bangladesh looking at the rowing issue so that we can bring the issue closer to the region and then the rangers and the community that is considered a large can be sure that is this is closer to home but its been pretty well documented the abuses the killings pretty well documented by human rights workers by journalist is there any way for this not to be escalated into a full investigation. Well we can already see the strategys strike by the side so theyre already requesting that a team also goes down to take stock of what are called. Accountability sessions and men need to. We can see that they will then try to neutralize the findings that the i. C. C. Might undertake on the ground. So this is the way i think its going to play out in the region but it remains to be seen what is the impact within men because one of the site effects of such investigation is that it actually consolidate the military position in myanmar just a year away or so for the elections to take place later in pretty 20 and we already see a momentum building where the military may gain politically so this i think the unintended effects of these investigations that we need to keep in mind. Thank you so much for your analysis that was james gomez then lets go back to Mohamed Mohamed we sometimes you know the headlines are crowded these days with a number of International Crises going on all around the world from sudan syria ukraine so on remind us of the conditions that people are still in during sammy in a word theyre appalling i have visited those camps and coxs bazar several times over the course of the past year and a half and even though the conditions in those camps are much improved compared to how they were when that influx of bringing us are arriving in august of 2017 and even though you have much more of an infrastructure you have roads and you have you have dams and you have many aid workers there in the do their best to protect the most vulnerable among those populations they are still at the mercy of inclement weather right now it is monsoon season ill give you one example in the past several days you had some of. Most Severe Weather that struck those camps in the last 2 years you know it was so it was in the families displaced later on you know is a place where it is a displaced family go thats now displaced again from the weather what happens is you have aid workers that are with either u. N. Agencies or other in geos and they go and they try to resettle them and these are people that have very little they live in the huts made of bamboo and tarpaulin and most of these. Where they get into other parts of the camps other parts of the camps where they try to build settlements that arent on hillsides because most of these huts are on hillsides these very steep slopes in the minute you start getting rain that is a heavy rain washed prone to being washed away so already in the last 2 weeks you had landslides you had flooding even though the conditions are much improved they are still very vulnerable and this is one of the most persecuted minorities in the world this is among the most vulnerable populations out there right now and they just become more vulnerable even by the weather so its a really really bad situation and everybody i speak with there the last several the last couple of weeks they were worried about what monsoon season would bring its early in the season over the course of the last 2 weeks that many messages from contacts theyre very very worried whats going to happen to them are they going to be relocated to other parts of the camps are people going to die as a result of the flooding theyre very worried and theyre only getting much more word. And ill tell you also though i wanted to ask you know how much confidence do people have in the International Community at this point because thats not forget the peak of the killings of the hindus a few years ago was the time when the International Community particularly some countries in the west trying to normalize relations and soften sanctions with me and my the rating of feel abused by the International Community they feel brutalized by what happened to them in myanmar decades of persecution they feel abused by the International Community you will notice when you cover this story that despite the appeals of aid workers and activists and also running that are on the ground there and coxs are despite their appeals they dont get the funding that they need they do not feel that enough pressure is being brought to bear against the government of myanmar and while they are encouraged by these moves they are happy that a team from the International Criminal court is there they also say this should be happening at a must faster pace and each day that goes by when i speak to these working or refugees Something Like this happens and then they continue to live the life that they are living right now they feel that the International Community has turned their backs on them and they worry that the those generals and me and mark have been accused by u. N. Investigators of having perpetrated genocide perhaps they worry that they will get away with this sad future lets hope something is done to alleviate their suffering thank you very much mohammed june q counterterrorism officials in pakistan of arrested the man widely blamed for organizing the mumbai attacks in 2008 tough as side was arrested in Punjab Province happened days before Prime Minister monk on the eggs is made in visit to the us side founded the last group blamed for the attacks in mumbai which killed at least 174 people washington has designated saeed a global terrorist.
