In the lengthy videos the men at made it to massacre rapes and the destruction of rohingya villages that also allegedly named the soldiers and senior commanders involved in the crimes as bring in Mohammed John john has covered the ring a crisis extensively for us joins us now here in doha mohammed if this is confirmed tallis significant is it and how does it advance the case for genocide against. Foley i should 1st update our viewers with the fact that weve reached out to the International Criminal court and through a spokesperson we are told that these 2 soldiers are not in custody at the i. C. C. Now thats all the information that weve got and weve also been told that we should reach out to the Prosecutors Office at the i. C. C. So thats not to say that these 2 men are not that are not currently in the hague its just that they are not designating their potential presence there as being in the custody of the court a small those ignition but it could be an important new wants in in the potential case to come now if what these if this is confirmed and if these 2 soldiers are indeed giving these kinds of details to i. C. C. Investigators that could have a huge impact on a potential case its been well over a year now that the i. C. C. Has been trying to build a case they launched an investigation they have opened a case but it has been tricky for the i. C. C. Because of jurisdictional issues because me and maher is not a signatory to the rome statute they are not a member of the International Criminal court they do not recognize the i. C. C. Bangladesh however which has helped the i. C. C. In building this case is a member of the rome statute and the fact that in the reporting there has been about this we have heard that these 2 soldiers fled to bangladesh its really going to be interesting to find out just how much of a role. Played in trying to get them to the i. C. C. Of course having direct testimony from soldiers involved in what many have called these horrific atrocities committed against the rohingya that would be a Huge DevelopmentRohingya Refugees since the beginning of the crackdown that was launched against them august 25th 2017 and have used the word genocide to describe what happened what was perpetrated against them so if now there is direct testimony that means that me and mark could be a lot more live right and i know you speak to the refugees in bangladesh regularly those in coxs basam what will they make of this and are they hopeful that theyll get justice one day. You know the they were hanging there among the most persecuted minorities in the world they have faced so much for decades now and yet they do retain their resilience and their hope that they will get justice one day i imagine that as the news gets to the camps in bangladesh where there are close to 1000000 Rohingya Refugees that they will be elated with this news that all being said though every rowing a refugee is a refugee that ive spoken with the past few years when its come to talking about potential cases against me and more potential charges of genocide against me and more whether its the case thats at the International Court of justice or this case thats being built at the i. C. C. They are fully aware that these kinds of international cases could take years could take decades to prosecute and therefore while they are optimistic whenever there are developments of this nature they are cautiously optimistic because they know that they have not been able to get justice thus far they dont think it will happen any time soon and in the meantime things only continue to get worse for them just yesterday we heard of around 300 Rohingya Refugees who had fled potentially bangladesh and tried to get to malaysia and now they reach the shores of in indonesia they are being trafficked more and more by human traffickers because refugees face such dire consequences where they are in bangladesh and that just really goes to show you how bad things are for them that even when there are cases that have been launched against me and more in both of these forums they still want to escape their their circumstances and they are still trying to get to countries where they feel they would have a more secure future thank you very much for that moment john chillen with the latest on the crisis.

But india and china are both accusing the other soldiers are firing shots in a new confrontation along their disputed himalayan border china says indian troops crossed the line of control in the Western Region on monday and opened fire and its soldiers took what it called Counter Measures but indias military has laid the blame with china accusing it of what it called provocative measures to escalate tension both sides usually avoid using firearms in the area katrina you has more on the reaction from beijing. Now china has called this a serious provocation and violation of the border agreement we know that things between these 2 sides have been tense for some years but if this is true this will be one of the 1st times firearms have been involved in about 40 years there had been agreement to keep firearms out of it but we do know that things have been escalating with both sides building up troops for the past 2 months staring at times at each other eyeball to eyeball the longest disputed areas an able to agree over this line of actual control which is further complicated by this complex topography along the region now when our firearms have not been used but things did escalate in june where there was a skirmish between both sides and these 20 indian soldiers will last china says that its conducting negotiations and dialogues with the indian side there have been talks at Different Levels for the past few weeks including very high level talks in moscow between both the defense ministers from both countries just last friday but it seems that those talks have been very limited in terms of what progress they have been able to make and india also says that china has captured 5 indian civilians and Chinas Foreign Ministry when asked about this said they didnt have any information saying simply that they were continuing dialogue with india that they wanted peace but Chinas Foreign Ministry has predictably laid the blame for escalating tensions completely with the indian side and Elizabeth Branham is in new delhi she says the indian Army Maintains he did not go across the line of control.
