John shows us where hes been camped for weeks with his wife in sydney in the little daughter outside of the colombian consulate in santiago along with dozens of other families they pass the time and the cold as best they can waiting for help from the government settlement that will break. This is precarious the way our politicians count on us for votes we need now to count on them to bring us home. But if not far away peruvian migrants testart temperature before allowing us in to see their open air camp outside crews consulate they too want help to return home because the pandemic has less than jobless and destitute much of freedom its freezing there are no bathrooms and we sleep on cold cement but by far the largest number of foreigners who have lost their livelihoods other than his whalens who make of chiles newest and largest migrant community.

Special representative for the news whaling migrants and refugees system of government is laying out conditions for people to return one is a quarantine period at the border and the other is more of a long low lying. More. Of the investigation coming back. Around what would be the truth want to nations or that richard that you believe is slowing down the number of people that theyre allowing back in yes but yes. Every day more people arrive at the camp trying to find comfort in numbers around the corner the venezuelans are beginning to be tested now for coronavirus either way a group of them we understand will be placed in quarantine so that they will be ready if and when venezuelas government sends an airplane to get them but the real question is what will happen to them once they get home. They tell us they know that the economic insanity situation in venezuela is worse than in chile but to argue that if they have to die of coronavirus or hunger theyd rather it be in their country of birth close to their families and not in a faraway strange land. You see in human aljazeera santiago. The u. S. Military says russia has deployed more fighter jets to help the libyan warlord who is struggling to topple the u. N. Recognize government in tripoli thats after a major withdrawal of mercenaries many of whom were russian hundreds of eastern europeans have been airlifted from libya after they left the front lines in tripoli theyve been fighting on behalf of all out. Against forces who backed the tripoli based government along with the door has joining us from tripoli mahmud russia has always been very cautious about the role that it is playing or maybe playing in libya what more do we know about these jets that upon play it has been sending into libya. Will roberts seems that russia has to think it over again and again and terms of its involvement in libya namely supporting the war lord holy for have to against the internationally recognized government specially after this massive from the commander of the u. S. Africa command that stated that the russian involvement in libya especially. For the generation of fighter jets in favor of her is contributing to excessive baiting the human suffering and also human casualties within this current conflict as you know that the message from the u. S. Africa command says that at our center of force generation fighter jets to libya through. From russia to syria and then in syria they were. Painted to in some kind of calm of large to hide their identity and then they were sent to the warlords have to now also the issue of the earth russian medicine whose existence in libya seems to be very worrying to the Africa Command specially. That the these mercenaries are backed by the russian government despite the continuous russian denial but the question now is. Whether or not the russians will be able to fly those 4th generation fighter jets in within this conflict because it seemed that there is a clear message from the Africa Command that they will not allow this to happen especially when it comes to excessive bleeding or impacting their human lives within this conflict as you know rob that recently the russian. The russian wagners mysteries from the Wagners Group have been was drawn from the. Just confrontation axes in southern tripoli and repositioning in central libya the question now is whether or not theyre leaving the country but after this message it seems that theyre not or some of them are not leaving the country because the message said that they are supposed to be running these fighter jets lets mark more down the wall how bringing us that update from tripoli thanks very much. Human rights watch are calling for an investigation into the burning of 200 homes and buildings in near moscow and state new satellite imagery shows evidence of the fires which advocates say was probably an arson attack fighting between the 1000000 mom military and the ethnic out of con army has resulted in a number of civilian deaths and destroyed homes well Phil Robertson is deputy asia director at Human Rights Watch hes joining us on skype from bangkok we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed is there any indication who might have been responsible for this. Well its hard to see obviously from satellite and were not allowed into those areas these are restricted areas where the Burmese Military is doing everything they can to keep outside observers and prying eyes from the groups like us away from them but what we can say is the burning of this car village you know it has all the hallmarks of Myanmar Military arson that we saw done against the rohingya several years ago in 2017 and thats why were calling for a credible and impartial investigation to find out what happened and punish those responsible understand that the military is denying that it was them they are saying that it was the out of con army and the military is calling for an investigation how likely is it do you think that any sort of independent investigation could be held. Well thats what we would like to see but i think the likelihood is extremely slim. I would say that really almost no chance whatsoever you know on the our economy of course is accusing the military the military is accusing our con army without any sort of independent investigation its just going to be 2 fingers pointing at each other and at the end of the day its the civilians who are caught in the middle you know who are facing their rights abuses who are losing their property in this case you know well over 70 percent of the houses in that village were burnt down if i understand it correctly this village had been i think abandoned about a year or so ago and there are calls for compensation to be paid by whoever is responsible that this once its eventually established but its compensation actually viable in this case given the fact that the village was abandoned before it was attacked. Well those houses belong to people and people have ownership deeds and can show whose houses they were and in fact in many cases the villages were very far away they were either in a surrounding villages another village or in a local buddhist temple they were just afraid to go back to that village because the military had accused a number of the men in the village of being our economy army sympathizers and activists and so people worried and they were there they could also be targeted by the military but you know it would be a very straightforward thing to say ok we know whose houses were burned this is what the house was worth who is going to pay for that Phil Robertsons deputy asia director of Human Rights Watch and as always we appreciate your time thank you very much thank you rob and stern is the socalled black summer of bushfires killed nearly 4 150. 00 People Health experts have told a commission looking into last years fires that 80 percent of the population was affected dozens ended up in hospital with respect to problems the fires caused billions of dollars of damage to property. Well youre right but what can a yearly cost push cost fight for the Summer Season and the cost the way of tackling an errant comments in the last season where 2000000000. 00 in health costs associated with premature loss and life and admissions to hospitals and thats about 10 times i have a speech and a year because when i ran city that was a major departure from anything retained in the previous 20 years. And plenty more ahead on the news hour including struggling to make ends meet someone who is in the philippines being getting by joining the coronavirus in lockdown. Trapped with a rib users more on the surge in Domestic Violence is knocked out in his wooden poles. And in sports will have an update on his license injury from his italian club thats coming up with joe. Hong kongs leader is trying to ease fears about beijings planned new security law activists say its going to mean the end of the special one country 2 systems arrangement with china but carry along as appeals for people to wait to see the details and promises the legislation wont trump pull in hong kongs rights and freedoms. We are very free societies so for the time being people have this freedom to say whatever they want to say but ultimately what is to be provided in this piece of legislation is for all of us to see in order to be assured that hong kongs freedoms will be precertified and hong kong vibrancy and a core values in terms of the rule of law the independence of a traditionally the various rights and freedoms enjoyed by people will continue to be there all those details are being ironed out behind closed doors in beijing joining the annual communist Party Congress now were expecting more information later but china says its expected to ban what it sees as treason secession sedition and subversion but many in hong kong worry that means banning free speech and their right to protest dozens were arrested on sunday and police cracked down with tear gas and rubber bullets claudia mo is a prodemocracy member of Hong Kongs Legislative Council heres her reaction to carry a speech. As she was being intellectually dishonest oh she was saying that only a handful would be affected well i mean hong kong has a population of 7500000 people and the n. T. Government protests this since last june the whole notion yeah now theyve arrested the fat will no more than 10000 people so if you look at the numbers. The arrestees of a very small number but thats not the point the point is they are claiming beijing is claiming complete jurisdiction over hong kong and they can do whatever they want because beijing has now realized that too many gaping homes and their version of the one country 2 systems in hong kong the hong kong story the homes being that to hong kong people it turns out actually enjoy freedoms and rights to protest to criticize to complain to want some change and they think in beijing they think theyve had enough of this and theyre cracking down on us its the piri heart breaking trend in hong kong technically we can come up with say no to anything because if you say all this new logo is a technique lee unconstitutional thats what some of our legal experts here are saying but then its a genuine self that is the constitution so what i mean channelled you dont know who are you trying to challenge right and we knew taking to the streets and seeing the young getting getting all into nothing and arrested and that sort of protest just may not be very sustainable but then the younger plaint in for their future its a very real chance and people in my generation im engaged in. What we can we should at truth at least and show some understanding and so were going to have a very unsettling. China is preparing to repatriate its citizens in india as corona virus infections their increase its embassy in new delhi told people of the plan on monday they have been to whedons to register to leave those suspected or diagnosis called the 19 wont be able to go back to germany to has more from beijing according to the Chinese Government theyre concerned about the safety of their people in india because of the spread of the pandemic there about 5000 chinese citizens in india at the moment who are tourists or their the business and theyre concerned about them and so they want to repatriate them but this 5000 its significant but its just a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of chinese currently stuck abroad because of the pandemic china currently has a very strict limitations on travel into the country only one allied per country per week is allowed to fly into china and those tickets are extremely rare and expensive so this move has relieved many chinese in india but its provoked anger in others saying well why of those in charge in india been prioritised and i think that brings us to the 2nd reason why the government is moving so quickly on this there are currently rising tensions between china and india because of a spat on the border chinese troops and indian troops have disagreed over the line of control and that theyve been engaging in scuffles on the border and this is the last of 3 years but these skirmishes have been taking place with more intensity and more frequency in recent weeks and really analysts say there could be a real fear that these skirmishes so far no bullets have been fired so far just fistfights but they could descend further into all out conflict at some point in the near future. India and china share the worlds longest unmarked border although they cant agree exactly how long it is the line in yellow is the socalled line of actual control but there are several disputed areas another side one of the key ones is chin a province claimed by india but its been administered by china since 962 thats when the 2 countries went to war over the border the most serious recent tension was in 2017 over chinese Road Construction hundreds of troops from both sides deployed in the docklands plateau in the area between nepal and bhutan now tension is flaring again skirmishes between indian and chinese soldiers began 3 weeks ago upon going so
