Im Richelle Carey this is al jazeera live and also coming up but a mosque is calling a Dangerous Development the Palestinian Groups leader ismail and me is designated the global terrorist at the u. S. Governments. Poland Senate Approves a bill that seeks to criminalize anyone who blames the country for nazi war crimes that is despite warnings from israel and the u. S. Plus the grassroots the mobile network thats helping mexicos indigenous communities keep in touch the rest of the world. At least five mass graves have been found in me and mark which the Associated PressNews Agency Says confirms the massacre of hundreds of our hands last year the video appears to show bodies and puddles of acid apparently used to destroy evidence of the kill. Lings agency spoke to villagers who say up to four hundred people may have been killed and good r. P. In last august in our government is to climbing to comment on this report it so far acknowledged one mass grave containing what it calls ten terrorists almost seven hundred thousand revenge i have fled to the border to bangladesh since the man maher Army Launched its crackdown on the Muslim Minority last august Army Commanders say they are only targeting armed groups the bangladesh and mean more governments have agreed to voluntarily repatriate them but implementation that has been delayed in the u. N. Says not enough is being done to guarantee the safety of your return scott has more from. We contacted a government spokesman about this is sociate a press video that shows these atrocities in Rakhine State and he said that he had not seen nor heard of it yet and that he would get back to us that has not happened now if the track record serves as any indication we probably wont hear back or the government wont directly comment on this video footage that associate press has released there have been multiple reports from humanitarian organizations who have accused the government of queues the military of systematic rape of violence against the hands of populations in Rakhine State they have denied all of that and really havent directly responded to specific examples like the one were seeing from Associated Press now its interesting when you look at just the last couple of weeks for the first Time Military admitted that some of its members its soldiers were involved in the killing of civilians in Rakhine State they said some were involved in a mass grave that was discovered with ten bodies in it that came just two months after the military issued the findings of an internal they said exhaustive internal investigation were none of their soldiers were implicated in any wrongdoing coming back just a few months later saying yes in fact they were now as an example of how tightly controlled the military and the government here keep whats coming out of Rakhine State or at the courthouse to order a journalist on trial for possessing secret documents while theyre investigating what was going on in the kind state theyre going to be finding out if theyll be able to be released on bail but this trial will probably be going on for a couple of more weeks but again it underlines just how closely the military and the government here want to keep what happened in the kind states during those two months under wraps the un special rapporteur on man maher has been banned from entering the country he says the government is not allowing her to do her job she says reports of mass graves warrant an investigation. I do not have the details of this particular site or the village thats graves but it is. It is. You can see its a pattern that we that i said earlier. You know we had to like to leave massacre but india is where the mass graves were discovered. But when i was talking to some of the refugees a man said to me he had he had buried four hundred thirty plus body before he escaped from his town. And i received grohl the names of people who. Are allegedly killed or missing so this is something that needs to be investigated and this is why weve called for a Fact Finding Mission and an access to the Fact Finding Mission the robertson is the Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch this Asia Division he says increasing reports of atrocities will prompt more action from the international community. I think were going to see more of this and i think its going to have a direct impact both on the refugees who will be even more scared to go back will probably a fuse to move anywhere will refuse the offers by the myanmar government to return but i think its also going to have a considerable knock on effect for the International Accountability efforts to try to bring some of the military to International Justice for what theyve done to the rohingya theres not been enough pressure but we think that it its starting to really most move now i mean were seeing International Sanctions specifically targeted to certain individuals the the big effort is to determine who did what when and where and how how are those people going to be held accountable i think were starting to see the mobilization of real political opinion that something needs to be done far beyond what has been done so far what is most worrisome about these reports beyond obviously the killings is now the effort to cover this up that they discovered. In some instances acid is being used to burn off the features of the People Killed or burned off the fingerprints to try to obstruct any accountability and that shows a degree of preplanning that will really i think impact the international communitys decisions about whether this is constitutes genocide or not how has it wont stop resisting any Israeli Occupation despite that leader of the Palestinian Group being designated a global terrorist that the u. S. Government and its friends and Ismail Haniya is Financial Assets and impose a travel ban and washington rosalyn toward points. The United States formally declared the Palestinian Group hamas a terrorist organization in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven twenty one years later washington says hamas is political chief. Is himself a specially designated global terrorist because thanks to his leadership hamas has killed seventeen americans the designation is that any assets honey a house in the u. S. Are now close and he cant travel there and u. S. Persons cannot give him any Financial Support one official says honey a is a clear threat to u. S. National security and he has been a member of hamas and the one nine hundred eighty s. And he rose through the ranks in large part but continually championing terrorism against israel. And he has calls for a renewed into fatah just last month underscore how important todays designation is we will not be distracted by hamas as efforts to obscure its true and bloody nature of the land makani a call for a new uprising against israel in december because of this were no closer to a lasting Peace Agreement between israel and the palestinians the us president Donald Trumps decision to recognize your islam as the capital of israel something mandated by congress welcomed by the Israeli Government and condemned by palestinians who want East Jerusalem to be the capital of their future nation while honey i attended a funeral for a hamas member his aides told reporters they dont take the us is move seriously while the other side of ismail hernia it is clear that putting the name of Ismail Haniya on the terrorism list by the americans came at a time that the Us Administration is targeting jerusalem and putting sanctions and preventing the aid of the morra which is a continuation of the crimes against the Palestinian People that it is me is not the oldest boy we have looked at it is that is for a beginner. No religion its for this reason we are considering this statement of is the foolish statement committed by people who know nothing about what freedom for the us says it will do all it can to stop hamas from destabilizing the middle east the problem for the trumpet ministration a mosque says it wont be deterred rosalyn jordan aljazeera washington. Lets put this in some context for you on december sixth donald trump you know laterally declared trees laments israels capital that sparked protest for weeks across palestine and in several other parts of the world as well on december thirteenth palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas formally rejected americas role as a mediator and then a future Israeli Palestinian talks a few weeks later u. S. Froze more than half of its planned aid to a u. N. Agency which has been a lifeline for millions of Palestinian Refugees and now the u. S. Is designating a leader of hamas to keep palestinian Political Group with an armed wing as a global terrorist and slapping sanctions on Ismail Haniya who threaten a political uprising or intifada against israel a day after two islams tribes decision rather on jerusalem. The senate in poland has approved a bill that would make it illegal to suggest poland was complicit in the nazi holocaust or for house back the draft legislation despite objections from israel and the us israel accuses poland of trying to rewrite history if the bill is signed into law by the president some offenses could carry jail sentences of up to three years very fos it brings us the israeli reaction from us true self. Well this crisis in relations between israel and poll has really been deepening since friday last week when the lower house of parliament voted in favor of this bill israel reacting with outrage admonishing the deputy ambassador here in israel of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu saying that history could not be written that it was forbidden to deny the holocaust the polish perspective on this is that they are trying to clear their name from phrases such as polish death camps indeed in this latest vote in the senate the Justice Minister said just that that poland could not allow itself to continue to be insulted in this way now this vote has come as something of a surprise to israel because there was a conversation between the Prime Minister here and the polish Prime Minister in which it was understood that there would be further negotiations and dialogue before a second vote took place now in the early hours of thursday morning there has been this vote a vote in favor and now it just awaits a president ial seal before this becomes law as far as israel is concerned this is really an obvious cation of what has been shown to be widespread collusion and complicity by many individual poles during the period they were under occupation after the nazi invasion in one thirty nine that does seem to be the weight of Historical Research particularly here in israel where there is of course a lot of Historical Research on this issue as far as of the Holocaust Memorial here yad vashem is concerned it has denoted six thousand seven hundred poles who acted during that time to try to save jewish lives as righteous among the nations a designation given to those who did so without any reward at risk of their own lives to try and save jews from the holocaust but there is research here which suggests that there are many more poles who did hand in their jewish neighbors. Twenty eight russian athletes have had their lifetime ban from olympic sport overturned just over a week out from the went to Olympic Games and chang the decision was made by a court of arbitration for sport after an appeal last month been banned by the International Olympic committee for doping at the two thousand and fourteen games in sochi but the court found there was insufficient evidence speaking out to our Sports Correspondent wellings in london so we obviously. If youre a russian athlete are russian in general this is very good news is not so much so although for the i. O. C. Explain what this means over the past two years russia has defended itself against doping allegations from the top putin downwards with seemingly very little to work with now they have plenty to work with with this decision from the top legal body in sports it means they can defend pretty much everything theyve been accused of a not just within the olympics and Winter Olympics they can do it beyond all the sports because constantly of course for sure. Even though one hundred and sixty nine have been cleared to compete on to a neutral flag many felt the International Olympic committee were easy on them with thought they would be very bullish about this already powerful club called the vosh and sports minister said we are really happy that justice was founded triumphed and many of the words used for the International Olympic committee its the opposite theyre in a really tricky position now they may counter appeal and i think the only thing brought know on this for them is that the criticism they got for allowing someone to compete under a neutral flag now that looks a more sensible decision so what about public trust in the sport and then lympics in general when it comes to p. R. And change. Public trust is just its just not there is it of what happened in sochi four years ago where the games appeared to be poisoned weve seen an indepth report talking about systematic doping it means people cant trust whos winning medals gold silver and bronze it means theres this constant concern about not just the russian tell you as we go into another olympics and the International Olympic committee tries to find ways of rebuilding that trust but look at the confusion thats now surrounding the games who is going to be allowed to compete in pyongyang its going to go right over the next few days people still wont have met the qualifying standards needed its far removed from sport is that its largely about politics. While emailing fly press in london thank you so had on aljazeera the German Parliament debates whether to allow family members of refugees into the country.

Youre watching aljazeera lets take a look at the top stories right now at least five mass graves have been found in me and maher which the Associated PressNews Agency Says confirms the massacre of hundreds of her hands last year and our government is declining to comment on that report hamas says it wont stop resisting the Israeli Occupation despite the leader of the Palestinian Group being designated a global terrorist by the Us Government its frozen ismail honey is Financial Assets and imposed a travel ban and twenty eight russian athletes have had their lifetime alleging fans overturned just over a week away from the winter games and chang but they still wont be able to compete under the russian flag that aeration remains banned for alleged state sponsored to being. The German Parliament is debating whether to allow family members of refugees into the country issue had been a major hurdle and ongoing talks to form a new government between chens long on the merkels christian democrats and the opposition social democrats so paul brennan first us live now from birdland so tell us what this debate this proposal is paul this debate is in and what sort of compromise theyve come to. Well lets lets just go back a couple of years of course the height of the refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen in which germany opened the doors and allowed just over a million refugees to come to this country now before that there was a right for Asylum Seekers to bring their family members to germany now faced by the weight of numbers that right was immediately suspended in two thousand and sixteen two years ago so that family members were asylum granted Asylum Seekers were not allowed to bring their family members across so when it came to the Coalition Negotiations this time around the left wing Opposition Party the s. P. D. Said look we need to address this that this is just not compassionate enough it needs to be resolved and the deal that they appear to done and is being voted on today appears to solve all sides concerns im going to Medical Center right wing c. D. U. Party is able to say right to the brand the suspension stays for another six months and after that one thousand family members per month will be allowed to come to germany the left wing s p d is able to say look weve managed to open the door again after two years of it being shut so for our left wing supporters were able to sell that to them its only a thousand but its a compassionate gesture for the far right party for example very able to go to their constituents and say look the actual right for Asylum Seekers to bring family members over has gone this one thousand will be on an ad hoc case by case basis so its all about the presentation its all about the perception but it appears that this Coalition Negotiation has produced a kind of fudge which all sides can sell to all of their constituents ok so the fact that they or able to come to this compromise what does this say about ongoing Coalition Talks. Well it means that the breakthrough appears to have been made theres a selfimposed deadline of next sunday for the Coalition Talks to be completely concluded for all issues including refugees and others to have been resolved it can be extended by a couple of days if absolutely necessary but now weve got the refugee issue out of the way its going to be voted on in the potentially in the next hour actually passed into law they can then concentrate on other issues social issues for example the s. P. D. The left wing s. P. D. Wants to see doctors wages rationalized and brought into line so the private and public fees are equal they also want to see a bit more in the way of social care and pensions reform it means they can move on to those probably less thorny issues the hope is certainly the buy some day maybe monday tuesday of next week we could even have a functioning government here in germany again. Brennan live for us in berlin paul thank you. The japanese tracing is allowing thousands of Syrian Refugees to stay in the u. S. For at least another eighteen months the decision extends temporary protected status to seven thousand syrians it only applies to refugees who arrived in the country before august two thousand and sixteen meaning the status that later arrivals that will be put on hold for them twelve million syrians have been displaced since the conflict began in two thousand and eleven alan fisher is following the story from washington d. C. So back in two thousand and twelve because of the fighting in syria the u. S. Government awarded temporary protective status to syrians living here in the United States what does that mean well it means if you meet certain criteria and repeat certain fees then you could live here without the threat of being deported back to syria now that program has been under review and the department of Homeland Security has unknowns because its going to extend it for a further eighteen months and it also says thats because the situation in the on the ground in syria hasnt changed dramatically from six years ago now that means about seven thousand syrians will continue to be covered by the program but if youre arrived after late twenty sixteen you will not be covered by the program and that covers about two thousand people whove arrived here since then from syria no the trumpet ministration has removed temporary protective status from a number of countries recently including sudan haiti and nicaragua and says other countries will also lose that status but for the moment the majority of syrians seem to be safe.
