They died at sea men women and children fleeing bloodshed in tallahassee and the torching of homes in myanmar they made it onto a boat taking them across the water to bangladesh only for the vessel to sync up this tragedy the Un Security Council was told a result of a massive flow of people over half a million in about a month the situation is spittles into the worlds fastest developing refugee emergency and the humanitarian and human rights nightmare the trumpet ministrations policy towards me and maher change sharply jury in this meeting with u. S. Ambassador nikki haley demanding the prosecution of members of the meon mom military and the suspension of all arms sales to the country we cannot be afraid to call the actions of the burmese authorities what they appear to be a brutal sustained campaign to cleanse the country of an ethnic minority having heard those scathing comments as National Security adviser gave his response there is no ethnic cleansing and no genocide in. And nick cleansing and genocide are serious charges and they should not be used laidley human Rights Groups have been critical of the Security Council they say slow response has failed dismally to keep up with the scale and speed of this crisis both in terms of the ongoing human rights abuses and the resulting humanitarian emergency this meeting and in particular ambassador haleys comments increase the pressure on me and ma but the council remains divided with some notably china suggesting quiet diplomacy may be the best way forward james pays out zero of the United Nations. And many of those. Being forced to travel in darkness at much greater risk from on this set speak to correspondent in cox has been sagna bangladeshs border with me and my hundreds of people continue to cross into bangladesh every day why they only moving at night. Well first of all let me give you any contacts you can see the boat that was wrecked you know last night around five pm actually in the evening on my right side theres still rescue operation going on we know for sure at least twenty bodies were recovered most of them are women and children now we spoke to some of the survivor of this boat wreckage we asked them to get these going on on the other side we also obtained their mobile footage through our sources and me on my side showing stranded wreckage is stuck in an island trying to cross into bangladesh another man my refugees that we were interviewing told us that a lot of the people are stranded and trying to come across bangladesh but they didnt say that Border Guards are preventing them we heard this from u. S. Human rights watch and i. O. M. Theyre saying that Border Guards and coast guards by preventing the refuges during daytime to come into bangladesh now one reason could be is a clear danger of you know a boat carrying this passenger going into intercoastal waterway in the bay of bengal which is very stormy during yesterday was very stormy the so the clear danger to people friending by boat into the intercoastal waterway and this danger of boat. Sinking in these waterways that could be one particular reason but what theyre writing to refugees are telling us there were in the Central Region and people from the north this corroborates what im tony harris said on the u. N. Last night that people from the north that telling in the Central Region that get away from there the army is going to crack down try to stone even that but this friendly villagers told them that youre going to. The army is going to crack down there and this is the big rush again of refugees from central zone coming into bangladesh a huge influx turned there of refugees over the last months its been over a month now since this latest round of violence more than four hundred thirty thousand people have arrived in bangladesh what are they finding when they arrived they have the conditions on the ground in bangladesh improved at all in this last month. Well first of all when the come in the border area some of them a big big lending pointed shop or theyve its a small island like area and theyre now free ride between bangladesh and man market a lot of these people are aided by the local volunteers some time army and policemen now and then theyre afraid to cross by basically by bus or you know local transport into the good appollo an area where the mass concentration of the refugees are there are other question that what are they finding in the shelters that well things have improved slightly i wouldnt say a hell of a lot i mean theres close to the last un report said that five hundred thousand people already in here a little over actually so when you actually visit this camp the number of sanitation facilities and fresh water do. I really limited in number in proportionate to the number of People Living in this. Rather the shanty shelters and theyre very poorly covered with properly in our plastic shed no protection for the weather and the children and the in front are exposed to cholera dysentery and other Infectious Disease a lot of the children already got pneumonia we have visited in the camps so there is a clear danger of disease spreading and in adequate relief i its at this point terrible condition us terrible conditions for those refugees and thank you very much for that time their time their child and our correspondent in bangladesh has coxs for us our meanwhile a Small Community of bengali hindus has been caught up in the violence in myanmar kind sait thousands if they dont all with.

But after the first burmas british war record was controlled by the british there colony spawn across india so people would bengali roots came to rock calling.

And hes not happy that myanmars government uses the term bengali extremist when it talks about the were hinge of fighters. We are hindu bengali and some of our people were killed in rakhine we are people of the same race i am worried for their future living in the caribbean as their words between like are coming and muslim communities.

What were interested in is making sure that the terrorists are finally laid to rest and that we have a stable regime in syria these are principle and fundamental issues for russia and the region and indeed for the entire world what is absolutely fundamental is finding a long term political solution under the aegis of the United Nations that with aljazeera is Andrew Symonds has more from the turkish capital ankara. It wasnt a long briefing but judging from what the two president s had to say there were no major fallouts but no major breakthroughs either they discussed syria they discussed earlier start a process for deescalation zones primarily because this involves turkey more than any other country to try to get access to the opposition groups and corporation there will be military observers put on the ground there but no real date was given of any progress on this lot of mir putin said what a difficult situation it was but he believed in the deescalation zones and said that that was the political process that was essential now under the auspices of the United Nations but no indication of progress but as far as the syria Peace Process no breakthrough no major disagreement it would seem that during the joint News Conference turkeys president again condemned the referendum in the kurdish region of Northern Iraq which has voted for secession. If. Theres a serve that will serve as the region is becoming more and more fragile the referendum has no legitimacy in terms of International Law unfortunately the Regional Government despite all the friendly warnings has made a huge mistake by holding this referendum as we have always mentioned they have no right to increase tensions in the region for their personal and regional interests algiers char stratfor has more from any rocks kurdish region president or the one after talks with his russian counterpart said that the k r g kurdish region of Northern Iraq should be prevented from making what he describes as big a mistake stance with respect to the referendum that the turks the iranians and of course the baghdad government are so staunchly against the baghdad government saying it was illegal and unconstitutional. In other news the k r g held meetings with respect to pressure being put on the Prime Minister or body by his parliament to increase measures against the k r g measures such as deploying troops in the disputed areas and taking back control of oil fields in those areas and asking the sizeable Diplomatic Community here to leave the k r g now the calgary government say these measures are unconstitutional or illegal and it is valid to use all legal means to fight them these kind of measures and more statements today not only by the Big International players regional players in this area but also by the baghdad government just more evidence more pressure being put on president barzani and leaving him even more isolated.

The head of the worlds Nuclear Watchdog has expressed alarm over the pace of north Koreas Nuclear Weapons Program earlier this month pyongyang said it had tested a Hydrogen Bomb as followed a series of Ballistic Missile launches were covering this story for you from two angles this hour agent brown is in beijing where the Chinese Government is toughening its stance against north korea but first lets go to kathy novak in seoul kathy tell us more for us about what the International Atomic Energy Agency has been saying about their concerns. Yes the head of the eye is here on a three day visit to seoul he has been meeting with south koreas foreign minister and talking about the north korean issue theyve both expressed grave concern about the most recent six and most powerful nuclear test which as you mentioned north korea claimed was a Hydrogen Bomb of course the i. A. E. A. Hasnt had direct access to north Koreas Nuclear facilities since its inspectors were kicked out of the country back in two thousand and nine but you know says the most recent test shows that north korea is making a progress when it comes to its Nuclear Program we do not have the capacity to determine if it is on. But it is over to my old is much bigger than the previous one it means that. North korea made a very rapid progress. Combined with other elements this is the new threat and this is the global. Now north koreas foreign minister recently raised concerns about the possibility of the country conducting an atmosphere of nuclear test when he suggested that it may be considering designating a Hydrogen Bomb in the pacific and south koreas government remains on high alert for another Missile Launch or nuclear test as early as next month perhaps to coincide with key dates october the tenth north korea Marks Foundation day and october the eighteenth is when china will open its communist Party Congress and in the past north korea has upstaged major events in china with provocative acts kathy novak in seoul thank you for that meanwhile beijing says any north Korean Companies operating in china will have to shut down by january the u. S. Has been pressuring china to force him to give up its Nuclear Ambitions the chinese vice for me and you young dong is currently visiting the United States has been meeting secretary of state Rex Tillerson in washington and will also meet President Trump at speak to agent brown in beijing now agent so the chinese we know have been under a lot of pressure from the americans to do more so what are we to make of these economic measures of announce how much is this going to hurt north korea. Well firstly i think china has reached the limit of its sort of tolerance threshold with north korea they are frustrated by north koreas continued defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions so they feel this is a proportional response even though in many ways this is a symbolic gesture what it means as you pointed out in your introduction is that north Korean Companies will no longer be able to operate on chinese soil after early january and also that goes for chinese north korean joint Venture Companies that is going to hurt north korea a little bit but not too much but we have to see it in the context of this china has in the last few weeks announced that its limiting or exports to north korea its no longer importing coal and iron ore from north korea its also told its banks to shut the door on north korea and of course on saturday the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson will be here in beijing north korea will be top of the agenda and this gives china the chance to say look we are doing all we can to rein in north korea we are enforcing sanctions were not backsliding in any way as some people suggest we are doing what you and the United Nations have asked us to do we are complying with United Nations Security Council resolutions and doing our best to try to make north korea see reason but of course the issue now is how will north korea respond to what china has done given that the two countries are supposed to be friends and allies as kathy pointed out just a few moments ago there are a number of big anniversaries coming up here and of course in november the president of the United States could be here in china and for the first time hell be within missile range and we will have him here side by side with president xi jinping so yes its fair to assume the north will almost certainly carry out another test of some sort to demonstrate its annoyance with what china has done adrian brown reporting live there from beijing thank you a. J.

Rafael torres served in the u. S. Military for over twenty years he says Puerto Ricans are not being treated as u. S. Citizens. Have served the army and for what to be forced to drink water that has excrement the stream has human waste among other things im not a second class citizen im a third class citizen.

Regarding the evaluation lies in not giving up our demands there will be no opening for schools before the new government changes its stance on this evaluation the governments minister for primary and secondary education says the teachers are incompetent because they scored three out of twenty in their evaluation tests. We did not sack them they were not even better than their students do you accept the level of teachers to be less than the level of your children the union wants us to appoint all of them its impossible because there are fifty six thousand freelance teachers but the government has a specific program for full time teachers only.
