Bangladesh and myanmar have agreed in principle to set up a repatriation plan for the more than half a million ranger who fled violence in Myanmars Rakhine state the deal was made after a representative for myanmars leader and son sochi traveled to bangladesh for talks with its foreign minister myanmar has taken foreign diplomats and u. N. Representatives on a tour of northern Rakhine State where the violent crackdown on the arranger has been taking place now as political talks over the refugee crisis continue pressure is increasing on surrounding countries to accept them while many in indonesia have shown support many refugees have been stateless and stuck there for years said vast and reports are made on. Both anger in indonesia over a million miles file and cracked down on muslim or hinge are. Refugees here are being treated as detainees in the not ratified the Un Convention on refugees local governments considered as Illegal Immigrants who are not allowed to leave the city nor work or educate their children a situation very similar to what theyve been facing in myanmar now that as i am one of my children are asking me where my country and i cant answer i have become a refugee and i am praying that my children dont grow up as refugees too not a single human being wants to be a refugee its been very difficult for reinjure to live in indonesia. Mohammad can and his family have been waiting for five years to be resettled in countries like the u. S. Or australia but would last and one percent of refugees worldwide accepted u. N. H. C. R. Says it has become nearly impossible to resettle the rohingya only a few have left for the u. S. In recent months theyve been. Oppressed for so long that they have. It for some very few tools at their expense you know at their hands to be able to to be successful and to be able to thrive thats why its so important to give them rights but thats also why. Theyre so on wanted by so many with their lives on hold so im arranging i have married into nishan women and started families they want to stay here but indonesia does not accept them well at the clans and continues in myanmar the u. N. H. C. R. Is urging countries also those who have not signed the Un Convention for refugees like indonesia to accept the ranger and allow them to work and educate their children. Trying to prevent another disaster like in two thousand and fifteen when many ruhi injured drowned at sea indonesias president signed a decree outlining basic help for refugees but to legally accept refugees indonesia needs to change its laws yeah. Sure indonesia really cares about human rights but for indonesia it will be difficult to offer jobs to refugees and Asylum Seekers because jobs are limited and we have still a lot of unemployment here thats why we still need to think about the best solution weve got another web us the un h e r believes its just a matter of time before more ranger refugees will be knocking on indonesias doors the country needs to decide if they and ranger who are already here are welcome to stay stopped fasten aljazeera made an elysia. And while japan is one of the biggest donors to a global Refugee Assistance Program has been criticized for accepting a very limited number of refugees our of thousands of applications last year only twenty six people were taken in by the worlds Third Largest economy from tokyo sky high their report on the struggle of a syrian refugee who was among the few who made it to japan. You said jodi fled his home in syria in two thousand and twelve he got word Security Forces were after him hiring a broker he thought he was headed to the u. K. But instead the broker brought him to japan saying it was temporary that was five years ago he opened a restaurant near his home an hour outside of tokyo but had to shut it down recently admitting Japanese Culture and language are difficult adjustments and japan does not have refugee laws like your countrys i dont think japans decision regarding a few jesus for. Japan follows a very strict interpretation of the one nine hundred fifty one Un Refugee Convention with a heavy burden on proving persecution under fire from human Rights Groups japan only accept twenty to thirty refugees a year last year more than ten thousand applied for asylum and only a small number were from syria since the war started only around seventy syrians have applied while he waits for Refugee Status you said has been allowed to stay on humanitarian grounds his family joined him three years ago we have. Talkies our is a former Un Refugee Agency executive he feels japan should open its doors wider and take in two hundred to three hundred refugees a year and these people are getting stronger. Sources of inspiration and. We have one in twenty. First my dear. Neighbor. He also feels that lack of exposure to refugees by japanese people contributes to their image of who refugees are and what they might be able to do for the country so if there are more refugees in japan so talk is our thanks stereotypes can be broken many people in the country want their government to do more good and there is no system in place for helping refugees and the government is not doing enough. So more refugees come to this country because the trouble that they shouldnt be neglected i think its important to be willing to accept. While japans not accepting many refugees it has contributed billions of dollars in global refugee assistance last year one hundred sixty four Million Dollars alone went to the u. N. H. C. R. Yousif might not agree on its policies and ended up in japan by accident but its where he sees the future and how can i go to another country and start all over i cannot afford that i would love my children to be like the japanese people i want them to have a future to have right to be japanese and with a new syrian Student Program ramping up in japan uses family might be welcoming more compatriots to their adopted homeland but in the hundreds not the thousands its got harder aljazeera tokyo.

More now on our top story in sunday nights mass shooting in las vegas raises questions yet again about americas gun laws it happened in the state of nevada which has some of the most relaxed gun policies in the us firearm owners do not have to register with state authorities gun sellers carry out background checks but private sales are allowed to go ahead without checks last year the state voted for mandatory checks but this was an implemented because the f. B. I. Wouldnt cooperate sold weapons including automatic and semi automatic rifles are legal well i shall speak to derek pogs who is c. E. O. Of metropolitan protective services and a former assistant chief of police in maryland his live from washington d. C. Very good to have you with us tell us first you know as far as youre concerned and given your experience when you heard of this attack in las vegas from a Law Enforcement perspective what immediately came to mind first thinking the mom was how many casualties and had the neutralized the threat and how long did it take them to neutralize to through it it took a long time to neutralize a threat from what we understand and obviously a lot of questions still need to be answered in this case i know you currently work with on armed guards that provide security as several locations casinos in the washington d. C. Area what do you think we should know about the level of complexity in securing a large venue like a casino and how could this shooter in this case have gotten several weapons into his hotel room knowing that in these last vegas casinos theres always a lot of security how could this but. Well this is uniquely different because not only was this hotel shes not only was it a casino but it was also a whole tale so wouldnt have been unusual force individual to come into the hotel with bags and luggage thats quite normal quite common and even as relates to him staying in a hotel for three to four days at a time thats unusual stay for Vacation Time of somewhere in a word between two to five days so the things that he has had pretrained would know roles wouldnt raise the alarm of the average security or police a Law EnforcementOfficials Force him training and they apparently never know seventeen seventeen or eighteen arms are firearms from his hotel room that thats quite a long yes. That is i mean but if you really think about me you have to really think about what size with the weapons what kind of our suitcase did he put them in words that were a weapon cases where they just generic suitcases that he was able to break the weapons down put them in or just look like a regular traveler just you know enjoying a week in vacation in vegas so i think that you know. Hotel security is not generally. On alert to look through peoples baggage in things that are nature like the t. S. A. Is when it goes to airports and things like that generally people come whether a drive in a check into the whole tail molested by security in a court to rome and what they do in a room is particularly their business so it would have been really. A stretch to try to figure out how security would have been a little bit more proactive as related to knowing what this individual had in his bag and of course eric as you know with every mass shooting in the u. S. Is always a debate over gun control gun laws you know for our International Audience its always very difficult to understand why this is such apologizing issue in the u. S. Why the laws are more relaxed in some states like like las vegas you know people ask why do these things keep happening and why i dont think strange as far as gun laws. Well i think you know the the gun debate has been one that you have a huge. Into tea of individuals who really you know fills those they are right to own weapons to bear arms and then you have other ones who feel as though that no one should on guns so its something thats completely divided i think but what we need to really probably focus on is the mental stability of the individuals i think if we look at these Mass Shootings one thing it seems to stay in the Common Thread is some level of mental instability that eventually is always discovered after the fact i its interesting that you bring bring up that the mental stability of the individual because as you may know one of the debates right now online and everywhere else is whether this incident was in fact a terrorist act that the shooter is being described as a lone wolf and many people argue you know its unknown wolf when its a white man whos e attacker then we want to find out more about his mental stability as Mental Health when its someone from a different background from a foreign background its more about his affiliations to terrorist groups and so on what we know why why this double standard in the u. S. Well i think the the reason it at this particular time i would just suspect that the investigators that there are investigating is is if hes not associated with any other they can draw a link between any terrorist organization at this particular time or any kind of. Religious or or social organization that would have driven him to do Something Like this so now they have to peel back the onion or try to figure out what exactly was going on in his head to have caused him to do you think you know this had been a black man im sorry to ask you this but if this had been a black man with the same questions have been asked about his Mental Health you think. Thats a very good question i think. Its really hard to say i mean to be quite honest i think the sometimes there can be a double standard or there can be standards put in place but realistically i think its just the evidence that the investigators have to go off and when when theres no obvious evidence they really have to start to investigate in ways that are more clandestine if you will so thats when we start looking at men to mental stability and things of that nature so i just think that the investigators just have to do their Due Diligence before we can really. Kind of call it one thing or the other ok thank you so much for speaking to us derek banks security expert joining us from washington d. C. Thank you for your time we appreciate it. Now to africa and protests against kenyas electoral system have spread across the country in the capital Nairobi Police riot demonstrators who are calling for electoral officials to be sacked protesters accuse them of reading augusts president ial election in favor of president or a kenyatta the opposition is demanding major changes before a repeat votes later this month the Supreme Court had cancelled the initial vote result catherine so he has more from nairobi. The country wide protests called by the opposition have been luke youre right outside. Commission.

Toyota will no longer manufacture cars in australia its last set of camrys will roll off the production line on tuesday later this month another comic i will stop production and with that cars will no longer be made in australia thousands of jobs will be gone but as Andrew Thomas reports from sydney the changes also point to a new economic drivers. To make you calls in australia back in one nine hundred sixty three in the thirty four years since more than three million times the calls were rolled off its production lines in this country. The closure of a factory in melbourne was in the direct loss of two and a half thousand jobs for a further three thousand people depended on the factory for their livelihood because they were in supply Chain Companies from the classic holes were brought back to the melbourne factory on tuesday for a ceremony to mark the closure of the factory last year ford closed its last. Factory plant in australia and in two weeks time the australian brand name for general motors. Has and i know its where in the world it will close its last factory and will mark the end of all car manufacturing in australia costs are simply too high compared to manufacturing costs elsewhere in asia but some say the closure of the car industry in australia isnt necessarily think it marks the transition of australias economy toward Civil Service for insight. And it also suggests australian workers are getting jobs in. The strings elsewhere. Joining us. Eek economics Corporate Network and joins us from singapore very good to have you with us so i will be the last comma. Ford to. Why isnt there demand. Or the factors at play here. Other factors i mean demand for cars in australia has been quite strong two thousand and sixteen was a record year and toyota is actually the best seller in australia as well its much more to do with structural issues within the auto sector particularly around import tariffs and the cost of manufacturing in australia in recent years. Of comedown meaning that cars produced more cheaply elsewhere particularly places like thailand and the United States have allowed been allowed tariff free entry into australia meaning that the cars are produced in australia itself economically and viable unfortunately so what now for the australian kamarck it then if there is no local production presumably australians will be relying on hundred percent on imports so how will this affect pricing and also supply well if you will follow the theory of International Trade it should be that prices will remain low on competitive just said its one of the reasons why toyotas shut its plant is because production costs are too high and those of course passed on to the consumer so if consumers could get access to cheaper cars manufactured overseas then thats a positive for them of course the downside to that is the loss of jobs that we heard about in your report just before this right and a lot of jobs being lost i believe about three thousand five hundred workers out of jobs whats going to happen to them and what does this mean for the australian economy what kind of a hit is it going to take. So interesting questions and i understand its about two thousand five hundred direct jobs at the total plant though of course again as we heard in the report there will be people in the supply chain so manufacturers of components and so on that will be hit by this closure as well as i understand it has been a very responsible employer disclosure was announced in two thousand and fourteen and since then theres been many programs a lot of investment from. Towards the workers in terms of access to retraining and many of those people have found jobs retrained into different professions as well thats not to deny that there will be people who will struggle to find full time employment and thats going to be a negative for the local economy the broader question posed around australias economy is an interesting one so. In particular are focusing on on higher tech higher value added sectors australia recently announced a Space Program as well so thats really where the future lies its less around mass manufacturing of things like cars a much more and bio pharma tech aeronautics and so on very interesting to talk to you thank you so much for your insight and your state force joining us there from singapore aljazeera has learned that strained relations between the u. S. And egypt has to do with a weapons shipment from north korea a United Nations report obtained by our team details the connection between pyongyang and cairo political head explains from washington.

N. Supervision this report also indicates the u. N. Is also investigating whether north korea shipped spare parts for scud missiles to egypt that is likely to put a further strain on the u. S. Egyptian alliance because President Donald Trump has made isolating north korea a top priority experts say the u. S. Is going to keep a sharp focus on north koreas ports if u. S. Intelligence agencies are doing. Tracking of all ships entering and leaving north korean ports they can also through satellite observation get the images of what is being loaded onto ships the North Koreans are believed to sell weapons cheap around the globe the Trump Administration believes that money fuels its Nuclear Program and they are reiterating that it needs to stop at the same time monday the white house seemed to contradict their own secretary of state who said the u. S. Was looking to talk to north korea theres a difference between talking and playing diplomatic pressure we still strongly support putting diplomat. Pressure on north korea which were continuing to do but now is not the time simply to have conversations with north korea we didnt get any sort of response from the Egyptian Embassy here in washington d. C. But it is clear the Trump Administration is sending a message to egypt that when it comes to dealing with north korea that will come with its own set of costs political hane aljazeera washington or france is presiding over the u. N. Security council this month and this is what the french ambassador is response to a question about egypt seeking to buy arms from north korea it on the face of.
