U. K. Is general election where in one of the battlegrounds where some residents are considering a tactical vote. Im going to go with the sport as International Test cricket returns to pakistan for the 1st time in more than a decade ill have the latest from there much i can show lanka. Thank you very much for joining us myanmars leader is at the International Court of justice in the hague defending her country against allegations of genocide she called the accusations misleading and science and she insists the military has been conducting a legitimate operation against on googs and that action has been taken against the use of Excessive Force on tuesday myanmars leaders south through graphic accounts of mass murder and rape details against the military the allegations stem from a 27000 crackdown. Which forced more than 700000 most muslims to flee to neighboring bangladesh 10 deadly genocidal intent on the part of the state that actively investigates prosecutes and punishes sodas and offices who are accused of wrongdoing although the focus here is on members of the military i can assure you that appropriate action will also be taken against civilian offenders in line its due process there will be no tolerance of Human Rights Violations in the rakhine or elsewhere in the im not the kind to day suffers an internal conflict between the buddhist alekhine army and remarks Defense Services muslims are not a party to this conflict but may like other civilians in the conflict area be affected by security measures that are in place. We pray the court to refrain from taking any action that might give rate the ongoing conflict an Armed Conflict and peace and security and rakhine. Live to when he was at the hague for a swain unprecedented i think for a top political leader like entente so she to take a leading role in a legal case at the International Court of justice tell us more about what she said in her statement and how its been received. Yes well it was another remarkable sight wasnt it for the 2nd day in a row seeing on sunday. Once a week in a campaign for human rights for freedoms and democracy and me and back inside the International Court of justice this time defending against charges of genocide leveled against her government and military i have to say though for the most part it was a fairly unremarkable speech anyone hoping that she would have a change of heart that would she would sympathize with the plight of the rich and what they have been through would have been disappointed by the speech in fact she for the most part didnt even refer again to them as writing youre referring to them as a muslim group the only time in fact she used the term which she has refused to do in the past when she was referring to the militant group known as that stage the attacks on me and my Security Forces in 2016 and 17 and she firmly put the blame for the violence in Rakhine State at the feet of and she really also failed to address the root causes of the problem and oncet questions as to why denied rights for the most part in myanmar why they are regarded as Illegal Immigrants which most people agree has been like i say the root cause behind the tensions over the decades between muslims and buddhists in rakhine and has led to this most recent round of violence genocide genocide of wayne is very difficult to prove because it comes down to intent and these proceedings at the hague there at the International Court of justice could go on for some time. Yes they certainly could probably for years once the case proper starts in the short term in the interim these hearings over the course of 3 days this week are all about provisional measures that the gambians iraqs king they do. In the i. C. J. To order the gambians want the judges to force the government of to take concrete steps to verbal steps the riots the security who are still in Rakhine State and those who have fled to neighboring bangladesh but too afraid to return to guarantee their safety and they want to be forced to report back to the i. C. J. Within the next few months to prove that they have taken those steps well after on sunday. A few hours ago we heard from the legal team representing the case of me and they in response to the gambian request called on the judges to reject that application thank you for that wayne hale forest at the hague and al jazeera Stephanie Decker is in call says bizarre bangladesh us where hundreds or thousands of muslims fled after the 27000 crackdown and she says refugees theyre following closely following the course proceedings the consequences of the mean mars military offensive in august 2017 is turning this into the biggest refugee camp in the world one of these tents have a family a person who has the most horrendous stories of what happened to them so whether genocide intent of genocide is proven or not what is clear is that a very Human Rights Violations atrocities were committed against these people many people here are aware of the proceedings in the hague some of them have been meeting with Community Leaders sitting around a radio listening having them translate what is happening there theyve been calling for justice for a very long time but there is kept this is a also among some as to why unsung suchi when. She went to the court for her own benefit we wont be benefiting from it she was part of these atrocities against us she went there to lie and to gain public support for the 2020 alexion in myanmar she went to the i. C. J. For. Her own benefit. It is hugely significant what is happening so many miles away at the International Court of justice but whatever way the court is going to rule it is going to take time many people will tell you that its not going to have an impact a real direct effect on the people here people want justice theyve been calling for that for over 2 years but they also want to go home now mean more hasnt given any insurances hasnt allowed the United Nations or any agencies in to assure that they will be safe if they do return to bangladesh has made it very clear they dont want them here almost a 1000000 people live in these camps and their future is uncertain. Lets explore this further now with charles spare tree who is the former assistant secretary general of the United Nations and former u. N. Representative in myanmar from 2003 to 2007 his rise from bonn jaw the gambia thank you so much for being with us mr petri 28 years ago this week on science which he received the Nobel Peace Prize and is now defending the same military who kept her under house arrest against genocide charges at the hague and in her statements this morning she admitted the use of disproportionate force but said there wasnt genocide or intent what is your reaction to that genocide is extremely difficult to prove isnt it. Yes it is and i think she of course she makes a very compelling case or compelling point and it is going to take quite a while to do well for the courts to rule but my concern is that it must not serve as a distraction from acknowledging what actually has happened and it is undeniable in terms of the definition of whats happened i mean there was the former high commissioner for human rights that the what happened was a. Test or a perfect example of that the cleansing war crimes were committed in the course of the fighting the fall of 2016 and the rohingya have been subjected to. In human oppression for decades i mean as the u. N. Rep at the time for us it was very clear that what was happening were. Easily qualified as crimes against humanity so i think the issue of whats happening now yes lets try and see if the definition of genocide works or is appropriate its not evident when weve seen elsewhere but i think most importantly in the proceedings is to to ensure that what is ongoing what has happened is immediately stopped and corrective measures are taken yeah the gambia is legal team is asking i. C. J. Judges for provisional measures to protect their behind that before the case is heard in full or what is the best Case Scenario for the victims and what sort of a can they expect when you consider that a final judgment could take up to 5 years as when he mentioned. Well i think on the one hand that that that of the really. Smart that that that that that the areas from which theyve left are not reconstructed not not sort of the very nature of that that the possibility of return the physical possibility of return is protected but most importantly in myanmar is is to give some sort of definition some identity to these people when they do return the other is that the International Community needs to be willing to to accept that this is going to be a long process and to provide the support that these people need outside of the country so it is a tatchell court of justice a right court in your view to hear this case that has no implementation mechanism where else can justice come from for these victims i think it brings it brings in a very public way the crisis to the force so i think its its an incredibly good mechanism to to to to bring out the issue that i think the fact that it is between states also gives gives a new dimension to. The to addressing that problem. I mean in terms of of implementation in practical steps on the ground and i guess i you know i would say its as good as anything else i mean the International Community is not to extremely or leaning when it comes to dealing with such problems thank you so much for speaking to us and sharing your views Charles Petrie former u. S. Assistant secretary general joining us live from banjul the gambia thank you for your time thank you. In other world news if been launched protests in indias northeastern states of us entry poor are over a controversial citizenship bill but he sues want to cannon entier gas to stop protestors who have been knocking bones with burning tires the army is deploying troops in trip or a state and putting reinforcements on standby in a somme protesters say indigenous communities will be marginalized if a large number of hindu migrants from bangladesh are granted citizenship well meanwhile the citizenship bill is being debated in india as opera house approved it would grant citizenship to those fleeing religious persecution in pakistan afghanistan and bangladesh but it excludes muslims politicians and civil rights activists say this violates indias secular constitution by discriminating against muslims the lower house approved the bill on monday lets bring in an charge for our correspondent in new delhi and charlotte start with the huge protests that weve seen in the northeast the pictures certainly spectacular what exactly are people upset about. Well the people in assam are saying that if more all of bengalis even if there hindus are going to be allowed in then that impacts their culture their identity and essentially their livelihood as well and there has been a street all for opposition to the presence of bengalis in assam several movements in the past as well so we see 2 things happening one is one protests we witness in places like which is an authorization and in delhi which is against excluding muslims and political analysts journalists observers say that that is going against the nature of Indian Constitution which is secular the other is what we witness in go r. T. In assam thats a different kind of court as these protesters are essentially saying that we dont want any migrants to be included to be a good granted indian citizenship whether they are hindus all muslims because we are assamese this is our land and we want like to have our own culture and our own people get the jobs that there are are these protests likely to influence the outcome of the vote in the upper house. Not likely i think the government is thinking of making exceptions in the legislation so they have already come up with the exceptions there are 7 states in indias multis that come up with exceptions for 5 states but the 2 states where we have seen as i dont know these of india today. There are other there are some exceptions to some areas but not the entire states so the government is trying to come up with plan b. As to how do as we as soon as they consult but its not going to impact the war to save because the government seems to have the numbers even in the upper house to make sure that the bill goes through and the debate has been on not for the whole day now it started at 7 g. M. T. And it is still going on thank you for that are in new delhi and of course well come back to you when theres a result in that vote in the upper house plenty more ahead on this al jazeera news hour including after years of planning and 6 of several false starts say is in saudi arabia state owned Oil Giant Aramco begin public trading. Democratic Party Leaders outline impeachment charges against donald trump the u. S. President says they are weak and baseless and football fans turn their attention to qatar again would be a Club World Cup cho has more in sports coming up right. With just one day to go before voting begins in the u. K. Election polls are cautiously suggesting victory for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson but theres still the chance of a Hung Parliament and theres another factor that could throw all the result tactical voting nauruans the explains from walking him one of the battlegrounds of this election. If you want to find somewhere to symbolise conservative in blooms then this would do fine. In the Countryside West of london as well takes care of itself. But perhaps because of that it voted by some distance to remain in the euro. The union based party said we missed all of the referendum result despite the best efforts of the towns longstanding conservative m. P. John redwood is an example in this election the pro e. U. Forces see an opportunity to get their revenge on him and the timing really matters places like working and represent the last chance for opponents of brechts its trying to stop the conservatives from getting it done but to do it in polls persuading the public to vote not for the part of them. But for the party in any constituency with the best chance of beating the conservatives and thats where things get messy. Here the n. T. Bricks it can do that with the best chance is a former conservative who defected to the liberal democrats were the opposition parties to stand down and give him their votes hes pretty convince he would win weve got a huge body of data with its neck and neck which is why for labor very even if you have told you know vote for where you are if youre a tory remain and you think breaks or is a complete and utter disaster and you dont want to then youre also voting for me and if you can coalesce those 2 things together then were not going to get out. And this is the labor candidate she broke her ankle right at the start of the campaign and is trailing in 3rd place but even though she cant win she resolutely believes she should not participate in tactical voting here might say to people you know your life from my perspective passionately believe in the policies but actually were not going to stand anyone here because we want you to vote with them i just know facts not right democratic to get that number 345 how the 2 main opposition parties agreed at the start of the campaign to stand on a joint platform then things might have been different but their general refusal to form a united front against bracks it could be a decisive factor on thursday its the system thats breakin and actually what were up. Thing is the charts for your vote actually count and for increased democratic participation but dearly we would love for the Voting System to be changed so that taxable voting isnt necessary unfortunately this election is. Ok because if it is impossible to get around the fact that this is the bricks election because the conservatives have made it does the stop choice for people who dont like it is that ignoring its might allow it to happen mostly aljazeera working. And heres a full list of candidates standing in the walking in constituency 5 of them in all an interesting one to watch on Election Night and of course well have full coverage right here on aljazeera lets get more now from another of our correspondents covering this election paul brennan in london so the final day of campaigning paul what are the politicians doing in the last push for votes. Frantically trying to persuade the undecideds to fall into their camp and frantically trying to bolster loyal supporters to prevent them from going elsewhere its i mean its couldnt be more tense frankly at the tensions been added to by a poll that came out last night saying that the races probably tightened the leaders have been out on the campaign trail since early today Boris Johnson up in West Yorkshire and metaphors all over the show he was delivering milk and he made the metaphor that he was delivering breakfast he then went to a piii factory in darwin and reiterated his oven ready metaphor that hes been using for his bracks it deal since the start of the campaign Jeremy Corbyn started early up in glasgow he kind of channeled his in obama youll remember obama saying they go low we go high will generally call him was commenting about how hed run a positive campaign in stark contrast to what he said was the negativity of his opponents and ive been down in asia with the liberal democrats covering the start of their day job and their leader very similar to what you heard in lawrences report that theyre targeting a number of 3 seats which are. Controlled by conservatives but which deliberate democrats hope with their stance they can overturn huge conservative majorities in those seats and one in particular dominic rather 23000 majority the liberal democrats really going for it
