Surrounding multiple deaths and the white island volcanic eruption. Leader Aung San Suu Kyi she is headed to the Uns Highest Court in the netherlands to defend her country against genocide charges the west african state of gambia launched the fast bid to bring me to International Justice over a military crackdown on range of muslims more than 700000 russian job were forced to flee to neighboring bangladesh in 2017 protests by opponents and supporters are expected outside the court ahead of her arrival while the un has accused me of carrying out mass rape killings and the banning of her joining that military Campaign Memo says it was conducting a legitimate counterterrorism response and denies the charges of genocide meanwhile danby of legal team is asking the court to impose protections for the region before the case. Be had in full recent attempts to repatriate tens of thousands of refugees have failed with many still fearing for their safety but we have 2 correspondents covering this story our Stephanie Deca is with those hundreds of thousands of refugees and coxs bazaar in bangladesh but 1st lets speak to wayne hey whos in the hague when talk us through what were going to see in court this week and do we expect an outcome any time soon. Well i think the 1st thing to point out is that this is going to be a relatively brief affair these hearings this week will last just 3 days and on each individual day the sessions will last just a few hours for the stop on tuesday we will hear from the gambian delegation which is making these allegations against me and my old genocide on behalf of the organization of islamic cooperation member nations and the reason as you mentioned that this. Set of public hearings is going to be relatively brief is because ahead of a much broader case inside the International Court of justice behind me looking at these allegations of genocide again be interesting or basically emergency provisional measures to be ordered by the judges asking that the government of myanmar the Security Forces in myanmar guarantee the safety the security and the rights of ringgit who are still inside Rakhine State in western me and ma and those who have fled to bangladesh and who may wish to return so that is what it is requesting the judges to order the government of the to guarantee now if the i. C. J. Finds in favor of the gambian request in orders those provisional measures it may demand that the governments of me and my conduct a detailed written report as well as again be in on those exact measures that they have taken place provide proof that they are undertaking those measures and report back to the i. C. J. Possibly within months its important to note that the i. C. J. I. C. J. Has no power to enforce its rulings it doesnt have a an independent police force that it can send in to retire in states in a make arrests or anything like that or monitor the situation on the ground there but its rulings are binding for members of the United Nations of which me and my are is one when walk us through the legal arguments hand what kinds of thresholds will prosecutors have to cross and. Simiane lot of actions to finally be considered jen. Yeah well i think the 1st thing is that proving genocide is very difficult historically its very difficult thing to do the gambian case really is not a lot different to what weve seen from Many Organizations over the past couple of years that have conducted extensive investigations and written reports into the violence that has taken place in reclined states including the United Nations are in Fact Finding Team that found that they was genocidal intent carried out by the Security Forces and the governments in me and my the gambians certainly saying there was genocidal intent that going actually further than that and saying that they were genocidal actions as well the socalled Clearance Operations the destruction of those rohingya villages amount to genocidal actions they say the murder of. Civilians the use of Sexual Violence against women and girls the targeting of children the discrimination and discriminatory practices and regulations laws targeting specifically the ruling your population they say amounts to genocidal intent and genocidal actions so we expect that thats what well hear from the gambian delegation when they outlined a case of the next 3 days we know less about the defense of the me and my delegation which will be led by own son sujit but its expected of course they would deny that there has been genocide but they will also argue on technical legalities basically that this court does not have jurisdiction to rule on this case. Wayne hale there live for us in the hague will be following that hearing for us well lets go live now to Stephanie Decker hes in coxs bazar in bangladesh stash all the refugees there with you aware of whats happening today in the hague and today believe it will actually has any impact on their lives. A part of them are aware there was just a protracted around a few 100 in solidarity that saying calling for justice is what is happening there and then but this is a city of refugees its almost a 1000000 people this is a city that has a population i call it a city its not a city to record you count as you can see their makeshift pots all across the area a population equivalent to that of this from about or all those that breaks it down really in terms of the sheer size of this well when it comes to evidence youre asking there are this is evidence youve been covering the story since the exodus of the rain in 2017 talking to people the stories collected by myself and my colleagues are ones of horror is that sometimes a very difficult to believe mass range of mass killings people locked inside their homes and burnt to death some people will tell you the entire families lost left alone. And you know babies ripped from their mothers arms and thrown into the fire are people chopped into pieces all these kinds of stories have been documented over time also by aid agencies there are videos many of the rangar have certain elements on their mobile phones the fact that villagers were burnt to the ground indeed agencies and n. G. O. S have satellite imagery that shows that one of these villages used to stand no longer exists so this is the body of evidence when you talk to the people here and every single hot will have a story about what happened to that of course these people want justice more importantly they want to return and they want to return safely is youre hearing from wayne there are the actual implementation measures of whatever the Court Decides and this is still going to take. Time is very difficult to translate into the ground linamar doesnt want these people bangladesh doesnt want these people anymore and there are severe restrictions in place here in the camps as well as to why people cant leave after a certain hour mobile phone service is a cot here there is no internet so there needs to be a solution and i think theres a lot of frustration growing in the camps growing among the local population of the bangladeshi and who think that this is being left just to them so yes its an important 1st step of course that this is being brought to trial but a lot needs to happen until you see this situation resolved any time soon indeed Stephanie Decker on the ground for us and cups of the south thank you steph. And moving on now and u. S. House democrats are poised to reveal 2 articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and their attempt to remove him from office that could see a possible voters on his impeachment in the house of representatives as early as this week more from mike hanna in washington d. C. At an evening function the speaker of the house nancy pelosi refused to confirm that articles of impeachment against President Trump had been agreed upon earlier she met with the chairman of the house committees to decide exactly what these articles were going to be a formal announcement as to these articles is expected in the course of tuesday however various agencies including the Associated Press and the Washington Post report that the democrats have agreed on 2 articles of impeachment one on abuse of power the other on obstruction of congress now if these are indeed the articles that will be introduced it indicates a very narrow form of impeachment focused on President Trumps dealing with the ukraine and the allegation that he used his political position his position as president of the United States to get political information on an opponent for the next u. S. Election then to the structure of congress charge would deal with the white houses attempts to interfere in that Ongoing Investigation into the ukraine situation their refusal to give witnesses the refusal to provide documents that had been subpoenaed now this could all move very quickly indeed there could be a vote in the Judiciary Committee as soon as thursday that would then see a vote being taken on the floor of the house the following week and that in turn could lead to a trial in the senate in very early january. Well noise for both the democrats and republicans appeared before the house Judiciary Committee on monday and wants that to be the final public hearings before the impeachment off schools are announced how does your caster has more. Fireworks inside of mondays impeachment hearing likely the last before the house Judiciary Committee draft articles of impeachment came not just from protesters but also republican members committed to showing that they believe the proceedings against trump are a sham. To schedule not to consider made a ruling if you were to appeal to them and was going to try to overturn the result of an election were not elected people to the gentlemen less than the witnesses were attorneys for both parties and though the facts were the same that trump froze military assistance to ukraine then asked its president to launch investigations into trumps political opponents the interpretations of those facts couldnt be more different President Trump use the powers of government for domestic political airing to put his political interests above that of the nation and each a president whos 63000000. 00 people voted for over 8 lines in a call transcript is boni its unclear who the lawyers are trying to convince members of the house Judiciary Committee made up their minds long ago along party lines democrats hold the majority and will draft articles of impeachment likely by next week if the president puts himself before the country evaluates a president s most basic responsibility he breaks his oath to the American People. If you put some south before the country in a manner that threatens our democracy and our of our privacy the American People requires us to come to the defense of the nation trumps attorneys declined an invitation to attend the hearing signaling deliberately defend the president before the senate in a likely trial in january its a disgrace to our country its a hoax republicans hold the Senate Majority which means that obviously a conviction in the sun will fall well short of the 2 sorts requirement to remove President Trump from office and i think you would likely expect that it would be entirely a partisan vote outside the ivory domes of the u. S. Capitol polls show the American Public is also strongly divided by party voters who identify as democrats strongly support the impeachment republicans are strongly opposed that about split the population evenly in halves with opinions unchanged since the beginning of this impeachment inquiry republicans say trumps bait should be decided by the people in next years elections but democrats say because trump is accused of soliciting foreign interference in those very elections he must be held accountable now heidi joe castro aljazeera washington.

Russia and ukraine have agreed to implement a cease fire in Eastern Ukraine<\/a> by the end of the yen russias president met the new ukrainian leader in paris for their fast formal talks fighting in Eastern Ukraine<\/a> between moscow backed separatists and ukraines army has killed 14000 people just in the last 5 years natasha to reports. Ukraines recently elected president was greeted by french president emmanuel micro at the least say palace selenski flashed a peace sign as he prepared to meet Vladimir Putin<\/a> for the 1st time the russian leader arrived shortly afterwards for talks aimed to paving the way to peace in Eastern Ukraine<\/a> but outside the lease a police tackled anti putin protesters while inside macro and german chancellor Angela Merkel<\/a> sat down to mediate the full selenski and putin met one on one after nearly 9 hours of talks the leaders agreed to a cease fire by the end of 2019 a prisoner swap and to hold another summit in 4 months but there was Little Common<\/a> ground on Eastern Ukraine<\/a> future putin wants a special status for the dont pass region led by russian backed separatists. To synchronize the negotiation process with political settlement 1st of all it means amendments to the constitution that will ensure a special status to donbass on constant terms need to prolong the agreement of specials that this of several regions of the it should have constant character as agreed in the minsk accord selenski made it clear that he would not compromise ukrainian sovereignty. I want to establish the principles that are never violate as ukraines president and that the ukrainian people would never accept the federal laws ation of ukraine is impossible ukraine is a sovereign state. More than 13000 people have been killed in the 5 year war in Eastern Ukraine<\/a> between. Government forces and russian backed fighters close to the front line weary residents of the city of donetsk say they were cautious about the talks creation in motion a pretty hard border most of the things should be decided through negotiations and not through war i see the world like this and will should be stopped because it is difficult to live here it is difficult morally and psychologically we need peace and tranquility.
