While the 260. 00 Rohingya Refugees have arrived in malaysia despite efforts to stop them police intercepted their boats off the island of langkawi reported to have been at sea for nearly 4 months hundreds of others are fit to be stranded for so is live for us now in kuala lumpur for us what more do we know about this boat and about the refugees who were on board. Well we know the Marine Police acted on a tip off and they discovered the boat early on monday morning now they said they were preparing to turn the boat back out to International Waters when they discovered that the boat had been deliberately damaged to such an extent that it was no longer sea worthy so they detained the road instead now they also said they found the body of the dead woman on board the boat now nearly 270 of them have since been taken to a Government Camp and weve also heard a senior minister say just a couple of hours ago at a press conference that malaysia does not intend for these are refugees to stay in malaysia theyve they want the if they did leave from cops as bizarre in bangladesh malaysia said its going to make preparations to send them back to bangladesh and if they didnt they want to speak to the u. N. H. C. R. Thats the u. N. Refugee agency to find a 3rd country to resettle these people now weve heard in the last 2 months from activists and also Rights Groups about their concerns about how there could be more boats drifting in the andaman sea and the bay of bengal they would either have set sail from bangladesh or neon model where they were being persecuted these Rights Groups have also expressed concerns about the welfare of the people on board these boats we saw in april groups of all hundreds of massey aged refugees being helped ashore by bangladesh authorities and survivors of that boat journey talked about how they were starved they were dehydrated some of them were beaten by the human traffickers and witnesses saw people who had died during the journey being thrown overboard now we dont know the conditions of these people who have been detained in malaysia but if the past instances are any examples then they would have also survived an equally harrowing journey for us what is malaysias policy on and on undocumented migrants and refugees in general. Well malaysia does not recognize refugees is not a signatory to the Un Convention relating to the status of refugees now there are about 180000 refugees here registered with the Un Refugee Agency in malaysia and about half of that number are routing are refugees but they exist in a sort of grey area they have no official status so theyre not allowed to send their children to school and they are not allowed to work legally so theyre vulnerable to exploitation now malaysia has also closed its borders since march 18th to stop the spread of corona virus and its also used that justification to turn back working boats but this is not the 1st time that malaysia has turned back or attempted to push back boats in 2015 when thousands of rango were trying to escape from myanmar by sea Southeast Asian countries including malaysia turned by dozens of boats and more recently in april about a boat load of about 200. 00 refugees the refugees were not allowed to land in malaysia they were pushed out to sea after authorities said they had given them water and food so that is how malaysia views refugees the really essentially viewing them as undocumented migrants and recently as well theres been a rise in xenophobic sentiment against her hand in other undocumented migrants and the government has been sending mixed messages with some officials urging people to be more tolerant and others issuing statements reminding undocumented migrants that they have no status here in this country think that of their fans floyd live from kuala lumpur. Some breaking news now iran has announced it will execute a man it says helps the u. S. Assess the nations top general car some sort of money a judiciary spokesman said an iranian citizen gave information about sort of moneys whereabouts to the cia and the Israeli IntelligenceAgency Mossad sort of money was killed by a u. S. Drone strike in iraq in january for more on the story lets bring in zain at bus ravi who is in tehran zain just remind our viewers of what happened to your money how do we get to this point. Well kim as you said he was killed in a u. S. Drone strike back in january along with a senior Iraqi Militia leader and also the money was an incredibly Popular Military leader chior in iran seen by many people in the country as sort of clean from a lot of the political problems that the domestic leadership had experienced he was head of the lead quds force responsible for the revolutionary guards missions abroad basically responsible for irans Foreign Military assets and their operations in places like syria and places like iraq and he had been a pivotal leader in terms of bringing down the obviously state of iraq in the levant the fight that i saw in iraq and syria as far as iran it iranian assets in the few were concerned now in terms of the case that were talking about today this is the 1st weve really heard of this man his name is mahmoud and so be much him and it appears that he has been condemned by the iranian government for word espionage on has been on charges now espionage charges are something very figured here in iran by iranians and foreigners alike it is a weapon that the government wields anytime it suspects someone participating in activity that it deems inappropriate so these are charges that are faced by many people very often but one of the things you have to keep in mind with this execution. Is that there isnt a great deal of transparency when it comes to anything that the to sherry does specifically when it comes to espionage related cases so this is the 1st time weve heard of this mans name many journalists here said that as well there wasnt even Public Information about any ongoing cases into solo money step but they say that this gentleman had passed by the information about the codes worse and about salute moneys movement specifically to israeli and american intelligence officials said helped in his targeted killing back in january we have to keep in mind. That the judiciary in iran has come under criticism by human rights organizations for not being transparent enough and not giving defendants the appropriate legal help that they need to defend themselves so as we move forward with this as this story moves forward many people will be thinking that theres just not enough information about this case and about this mans execution but nonetheless the judiciary nonsense today that they have sentenced him to death for involvement in the killing of general Hossam Salaam thanks for that update.

But. You know isolating times the listening post cuts through the noise the. The looking at another side of this story not the information around the outbreak but the misinformation separating propaganda from fact its reality and you have.

M. Z. With north korea carrying propaganda messages against the north it is something which always outrages north korea and they have now used this a stent simply as the reason why they are cutting off these lines of communication interestingly when they made this threat last week the south korean north already has moved very quickly within a matter of a few hours in trying to bring in some legislation to make it harder for these groups to fly balloons so it does seem as though the South Koreans realize that we were at some sort of Tipping Point while they have the North Koreans are now seem to be carrying through on this threat to cut all these lines of communication are these lines of communication most of them have been established since 2017 which is when the relations between north and south were at their lowest ebb and it means that
