Police in Papua New Guinea have entered a decommissioned prison camp on menace island trying to evict refugees who are refusing to leave around fifty of them left in buses around three hundred thirty others say theyre too afraid to go outside the former australian run facility fearing attacks by local people the prison camp was closed last month after Papua New Guinea ruled that it was unconstitutional since then the refugees have been living in increasingly filthy conditions without clean water or supplies. A refugee on the island gave us details of the police raid. In the immigration markets. So many reports to the. Prison camp and it is an attack. On life not for a few days. Gratian not. For me they are destroying everything belonging. They are throwing. You know our shell. Talking with people treating people then you must move prison come on the roof you need with refusing to release prison camp because they are so young that we are not going to need this prison compound go to another prison. Straightly as Prime Minister insists the refugees should go to the alternative accommodation thats been provided for them on the island they are staying there is obviously designed they think this is somewhere they can pressure the Australian Government to let them come to australia well we will not be pressured i want to be very clear about this. Our Border Security the integrity of our borders is maintained by my government it is maintained by my government and we will not outsource our migration policy to people smugglers the people on manis should go to the places alternative prices of safety with all of the facilities they need they should do so peacefully and they should do so you know accordance with the lawful directions of Papua New Guinea we is the country in which the center is located lets hear now from us here is Andrew Thomas his online asylum three bus loads of refugees have passed us on the only roads to the prison which is over the water there behind me now we know that the place went in Early Morning on thursday papa new guinea in time about four or five hours ago now the accounts we hear of what happened very refugee say that they use force or violence against them in the place so they didnt they only destroyed property and they were just trying to incentivize if you like the refugees to leave but in the course of that we heard that fifty or sixty men were taken by the place i think that those that we just saw passing along the road right here just in the last three or four minutes were those men the first bus contains refugees and one of them leaned out of the window and said help help us the second one had a man who went out and said some insulting things about australia but this is all a very live situation. Zimbabwes incoming president was reportedly in Constant Contact with military leaders in the days following his firing by Robert Mugabe the former Vice President and. Returned home to cheers in celebration of big promises to create jobs for the people of zimbabwe the countrys economy has collapsed many are already holding up what i got was a because of hope even before hes been sworn in as president reports. When. The country two weeks ago he said he would be back to lead his people former president Robert Mugabe sacked him as Vice President so his wife grace could take over in just one week the military seize control resigned on tuesday the man nicknamed the crocodile returned wednesday and he is now in charge to. You i mean phone he was. He revealed there were plans to eliminate him he says he was poisoned allegedly by the g forty faction ins on a path. The rulings on a. President ial candidate. But some people dont believe is the right man for the job he was a faithful and for decades we embraced by the one. They were together. And so we are not so sure whether we are free. But we are hoping we are free people who supports mugabe the former president what are the good things done by zimbabwes first leader will be forgotten to start baying for years blood in all sorts of names i think is pretense of the highest order. Normally of this period of liberation respect to the africans. Which the incumbent to also take up the torch in order led down that spirit of liberation. He knows and have High Expectations they know he is a businessman some his say that gives them hope he has realistic plans on how to rebuild a broken economy. His own. Life to aljazeera andersens is there andrew. Talking about a new era of democracy the people there really expect things to change quickly. Really my go ahead delivered big time in terms of his promises and his view his vision of the future in terms of zimbabwe being open for business not just with the west but also with china. Is definitely a mood of extreme hope here but like Everything Else in this country has been in such short supply for so long that its really lit a blaze of new thinking here however the reality no one is naive enough to think that this could happen overnight and no one is naive enough to think that it wont happen without political change. Is a major point party thats been in power for four decades is now in a situation where many Big Decisions have to be made about it structure in a way thats the discussion thats going on now then following on from that were going to see elections in the new year when will that happen it can happen according to the constitution up until september ideally should happen people feel as soon as possible that will be around march but the reality could be. Now what about the opposition thats the next really major question will be inclusion could there be a government of National Unity further down the road these are questions that wont be answered right away and that is why there could be some shifting expectations its managing expectations that this new president will have to immediately come to terms with its fine to make promises but many promises of being given over many years and theyve not been delivered to the absolute demise of so many people right across the spectrum of the seventeen million population in zimbabwe right now given that andrew what is the mood on the streets with especially with the backdrop of such serious economic problems. Well its incredible to see the change here its absolutely amazing people who never realize really what the could be a day like this ever happening in their lifetimes let alone ever at all there is i mean that. That. Is a very old leader ninety three years of age would eventually go it always been there but then this new man i think there is a lot riding on his business acumen hugely in the sense that hes done so many deals with china in particular elsewhere also deals with the i. M. F. They havent delivered could be a minus in some areas but he does have business acumen he also has a history thats tarnished with with blood it has to be said in the past along with. That is a war veteran aspects to his past that are very very much belong to some of the negatives and. However people in the main the very much. A viewpoint whereby they see you have to be pragmatic you have to move forward in order to get to feed your children to have any hope for the next generation and this is politic it has to happen and that is something there isnt naivety on the streets it is a real solid realisation that there is change coming its going to be big change it needs to be the right sort of change thats inclusive for all zimbabweans and that of course brings in the minority whites as well and a whole range of other issues so there is a huge amount of work to be done and right now of course but gabi grace his wife who is seen by most as the downfall of the big. Man in political terms. And you have here a situation now where the two of them all in zimbabwe according to. All the people weve spoken to there is social media photograph of them both on a city what is said to be an official residence that has been verified fully but there is protection awarded to them and seemingly you know you obviously want to know the question to answer the question was there a deal well there probably was when if ever that will become public is another matter but its. Widely assumed it means there will be no action taken against certainly Robert Garvey and indeed grace as well possibly she is suspected of a whole swathes of of of which are bordering on. Whether or not they were legal or not particularly and in possessing the land that was acquired through the dubious means so really right now so much going on and of course the next big punctuation point in this is going to be the swearing of the oath by the new president here in harare on friday. Sevens live in harare many thanks hundred the Saudi Led Coalition says that it will reopen yemens Main International airport in a few hours to allow in humanitarian aid the seaport of data is also reopening the partial lifting of the blockade follows pressure from the us and the un ports were close to weeks ago after hooty rebels fired a missile at the saudi capital riyadh aid agencies are pleading for the Saudi Led Coalition to completely lift its blockade twenty eight million yemenis are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

Around three hundred thirty others say theyre too afraid to go outside the foremost radio. Fearing attacks by local people.

Home cheers celebrations he promised to create more jobs to be sworn in on friday. And saturday Led Coalition has announced that it will reopen yemens Main International airport within a few hours vital seaports of the data will also be letting in humanitarian aid who follows pressure from the u. S. And the u. S. What our top story this hour the eviction of some of the Asylum Seekers from the forest really a prison camp on this island Patrick Mcgorry is a professor of Youth Mental Health at the university of melbourne he joins us now live from there professor good to have you with us weve heard much over the past few days about the physical conditions that these men have had to endure in the physical ailments from which theyre suffering how will their ordeal have affected their Mental Health. Well today you probably are aware that twelve former strains of the year very very prominent australians elder australians people who many of whom were health and medical professionals have expressed great concern about the health and the physical and Mental Health of these men. The situation until this morning was that they were remaining in the in the defunct and closed prison camp because they as you said in the story they were afraid of it for their safety to leave the the the syllabi but that meant that they were. Not able to access clean water sanitation food even and or made it medical services and as a result their immediate survival was was being put at risk so this was the main concern that we were expressing to our Prime Minister and to the leader of the opposition that something urgently needed to be done to help these men and reduce the risk of death from a number of risks you mentioned the middle Health Conditions well these men are chronically suicidal late they are extremely demoralized after four years of incarceration with no real hope about their future and even of engineer refugees theres really no clear immediate plan for resettlement for them so in those situations then with the withdrawal of antidepressants medical care and supervision theres a very significant risk of suicides occurring and thats one of the concerns that we have so professor what is your message to the government of australia. Well it looks now that the situation changed the men seem to be being moved to a new facility which. It wasnt clear where how ready this facility actually was but it seems that. The facility may be ready in which case food water and medical services may well be able to be provided to them. But this its so difficult to really know whats actually happening on the ground and Information Sources are not necessarily trusted anymore so. Now are strained medical association the president of that Association Dr michael gallant has made a bid to. Urge the minister peter dutton to allow the air strike a medical association to send a Expert Medical Team over to assess the health needs including Mental Health needs of these men and to make sure that these are really being met and to care and preserve their lives really so were urging the government to agree to that request and to send an Expert Medical Team over to really assess the situation professor really good to talk to so many thanks indeed for being with us Patrick Mcgorry there in melbourne the u. S. Has suspended official travel to parts of the en masse Rakhine State its concerned that they could be met by protests after the secretary of state accused me of ethnic cleansing of the Rex Tillerson toughened his stance after a visit to me in my last week hes threatening sanctions for those responsible for what he calls horrendous atrocities in rakhine more than six hundred thousand ridge of muslims are skate across the border into bangladesh since the military crackdown began in august talks are underway between bangladesh and me and maher on a deal to repatriate some of those refugees scott hyder has more from the angle. So thursday is the second day of closed door meetings discussing a possible Repatriation Program with officials from Bangladesh Foreign Ministers Office also myanmars office here in the country now we know that theyve been discussing over the last couple days but we havent heard any details this is because all those meetings behind closed doors nothing has been made public this comes on the heels of a meeting earlier in the week of over fifty Foreign Ministers from asian nations and european nations the bangladeshi foreign minister stayed on for a special visit as it was coined so they could discuss the issue of repatriation at the end of this meeting there is the indication that theyll be some kind of memo of understanding in other words how things will work moving forward this is a very complex issue youre talking about over six hundred thousand people the myanmar government is said that they want that to be voluntary repatriation but there are also other issues outside of documentation its also about safety what conditions will those refugees who do come back will be facing in Rakhine States obviously many issues to go through but right now were hearing there are indications from both sides that they hope to have some kind of memo of understanding after this meeting on thursday or possibly even by friday the United Nations says that syrians in the besieged suburb of the capital damascus and so hungry that theyre scavenging from lives have been Government Forces and their allies of cut off the rebel held districts of five years days of relentless and strikes a bombarded the opposition stronghold the World Food Program says the situation could worsen for around one hundred seventy five thousand people when food stocks soon run out. Russias president has told his turkish and iranian counterparts that theres a real chance of ending the war in syria but im here putin says that he believes a new stage has been reached in the conflict hes opposed to talks in the black sea resort of sochi from where rory chalons reports. The war in syria is nearly over the three president s meeting in sochi now its time to rebuild the shattered country of lady may putin thinks a plan hes been pushing for weeks now is gaining momentum to do it. I am satisfied by the fact that the president s of iran and turkey have supported an initiative to hold an all syrian forum a congress of National Dialogue in syria the kremlin driven Initiative Aims to bring a Broad Spectrum of Syrian Government opposition and Civil Society groups to sochi in early december to plan for the countrys future. And join me in calling we have all talked about oppositions all three countries have spoken in favor of convening this congress of National Dialogue. But the president has been telling putin he wont accept a Kurdish Group linked to the p. K. K. Being there and turkeys president still seems lukewarm on the idea. Let me agree with president putin and he said we need to build on the momentum achieved as we talked together with mr rouhani we agreed that we need to extend our ties in all the areas. Even less enthusiastic is the Syrian Opposition group the h n c which says it refuses to discuss the future of syria outside of the uns geneva framework at an opposition conference beginning in the saudi capital riyadh early indications are that groups will keep their insistence asaad must go despite pressure to compromise with his plan for a. Congress of National Dialogue russia seems keen to shape the political future of syria much like its already shapes the conflict if putin successful this will be to the benefits of his ally asaad and yet again the dreams of the opposition will suffer rory tallinns aljazeera.
