After touring the country Boris Johnson was back in the capital to deliver his final Campaign Message the conservative partys lead in opinion polls has narrowed ahead of the vote anything less than a majority could be disastrous for the conservatives and johnsons hopes of delivering breaks it opposed 24 hours to end the deadlock 24 hours to break the gridlock 24 hours in which we can remove the parliamentary roadblock and get a working majority for a sensible moderate dynamic one nation conservative. The labor leader Jeremy Corbyn was also back in london labor may be lagging in the opinion polls but corbin is optimistic of a last minute support rise the sights and hopes up. People work with people as they develop and improve their communities work with people under a labor government thats trying to develop all the things that were so proud of in our manifesto. Its been a Grueling Campaign laden with photo opportunity johnson was up before dawn delivering milk echoing his promise to deliver bricks it.

P. s launched this Advertising Campaign in several regional newspapers urging voters to reject Jeremy Corbin accusing him of failing to tackle anti semitism in the labor party corbin says the party rejects all forms of racism and in south west london the liberal democrats concentrated efforts on targeting conservative seats we should voted to remain in the e.

Well weve been speaking to Chris Hopkins who works for a Polling Company which is the conservative partys lead over labor just 5 points and he says that labor has taken support from the liberal democrats we have seen the labor party make some progress here what they have managed to do throughout the campaign is to squeeze the liberal democrat vote where found you know 2060 remain voters were initially considerably more split over whether they would vote for the for labor or for the democrats and what weve come to the conclusion now is that far more are going to vote for the labor party and the lib dems and that can only be good news whereas you know for the conservative party they were always had quite a significant majority of the leave and that hasnt really changed the campaign. U. S. President donald trump assigned an executive order which he says is intended to end the anti semitism fox their affairs is actually designed to restrict criticism of the Israeli Government on fisher explains President Donald Trump has regularly boasted of his pro israel record he did it again as he signed a new executive order this time aimed at fighting what the white house sees as a growing problem of anti semitism on University Campuses across the u.

Took the stand at the International Court of justice defending the generals who had spent decades defying claim hey reports from the hague. As a state counselor and head of government arrived at the International Court of justice she was welcomed by supporters chanting we stand with you. But anyone hoping that Aung San Suu Kyi a Nobel Peace Prize winner would take this opportunity to at last stand with the reading would be disappointed in opening me a mass defense against genocide charges she said the picture the gambia presented to the court was misleading and incomplete the situation and rakhine is complex and not easy to fathom but one thing surely touches all of us equally the sufferings of the many innocent people whose eyes the torn apart as a consequence of the Armed Conflicts of 206070 in particular those who have had to flee their homes and their knowledge living in camps and cox is bizarre. That was as far as the sympathy went for the ring get 700000 of whom were forced to flee to neighboring bangladesh after a crackdown by the Myanmar Military suchi again refused to use the word when describing the mainly Muslim Minority ethnic group a denial of identity is proof say experts of genocidal intent on tuesday the gambia open the case with harrowing allegations of rape torture and murder by Security Forces in attacks on reading to communities in 2017 sujit didnt respond to those specific allegations but said any wrongdoing did not amount to genocide and would be dealt with in me and maher outside her supporters also werent interested in discussing the alleged crimes. To see whether i believe or not we are here just to keep support and we have complete faith and trust it with decision but it was she said that if she is going to be the good lord it was. The gambia says the ring there are facing an ongoing threat of genocide and disaster the court to order beyond march to take steps to guarantee their safety in response me and miles lawyers called on the judges to reject the application in a speech on sun sujit gave a brief History Lesson on Rakhine State and spoke about the complexity of the problem there but she again failed to address the root cause the rigging there have been continued to be discriminated against as Illegal Immigrants with little or no status or rights and until those things are addressed their security will continue to be at risk on a historic day at the worlds top court this one Time Campaign a few men rights provided little hope for the ring and she provided little evidence that shes interested in salvaging whats left of her reputation wayne hay al jazeera the hague. Are making go live now to coxs bazar in south east in bangladesh where our correspondent stephanie decade is and stephanie come to you of course because this is where the vast majority of the 700000 people are saying that to flee record in state this is where theyve ended up and presumably the people there were not expecting a huge amount from this remarkable the parents. Yes it is a remarkable it to have parents it is you heard there from wades package it is a historic event but if were going to be honest about it if we translate it to how thats going to affect this situation a situation of almost a 1000000 People Living in a refugee camp on the far southeastern corner of bangladesh its almost become a status quo i think the world has sort of become used to that this is the way it is right now its 2 not 2 years almost in since these people fled here and regardless of which way the court is going to rule and this is going to take time even if it says yes there need to be emergency provisional measures applied to protect the people to protect the running the iraqi state remained and to protect these here there is no in force meant mechanism so if we boil it down to how its going to affect this situation which is a critical situation its not going to have any real impact because theres no sort of short Term Solution to this theres no long Term Solution to this and as you mentioned 700000 who fled this is now a camp of almost a 1000000 people thats equivalent to the population of some of the world cup. Im afraid we seem to have lost sound to Stephanie Decker our correspondent in coxs. But nonetheless she was telling us a little bit more about the the short term prospects at least for that vols community of refugees ranges who have fled from me in and rock and state in particular lots more to come here and out there including violent protests in india after parliament approved citizenship legislation that her parents say discriminates against muslims and Philippines Police get their version of the countrys war on drugs.

All right time for a 2nd look at the top stories here at out 0 voters in the u. K. Are going to the polls later on thursday for a general election that will determine the countrys future in europe the final polls point to a narrow win for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson but they dont rule out the possibility of a Hung Parliament u. S. President donald trump has signed an executive order he says is intended to tackle anti semitism but critics say its designed to stifle criticism of israels government. And its the final day of hearings into allegations that mia miles military committed genocide against muslims on wednesday mia miles leader Aung San Suu Kyi defended her country saying the case presented is misleading. And all the 5 and a half 1000 people have been killed in drugs raids between july 26th scene and november this year thats according to manilas police theyve held a press conference to give what theyre calling the real numbers in the philippines war on drugs but Rights GroupsLike Amnesty International say fatality numbers a far higher and they want investigations into Police Killings and brutality well now i can speak to a human rights officer forum the Sea International will nor partner whos joining us live from manila thanks for talking to us. So the Police Numbers they call the real numbers whats the significance of the fact that they seem to be much lower than the figures that you and other agencies have collated. Well before before i answer that i would just like to comment on the numbers its mostly operational numbers that they have reported on this morning personalities arrest operations conducted these are just you know our. Outputs of of. Their drug operations from 10 to 16 not much was was said about the killings themselves and yes they have mentions its 5500. Its just them perplexing for us for example when we released our report in february 27th being the numbers are already up to 7000 in or out of almost 2000 killed in Police Operations and more than 3000. 00 killed in a more than 4000. 00 killed in by an identified gunman and by the end of 2017 and this is a government report they have mentioned that around 4000. 00 killed of Police Operations and more than 16000 dead and identify gunmen this is at the end of the 17th all right ok im sorry it just makes sense i wanted so i want to jump in because were drowning in numbers and what im trying to get from you is you know overall impression as to whether the the condiments if you like the handling of the war against drugs in the philippines has changed the tone given the International Attention that its now receiving an i. C. C. Potential investigation and indeed criticism from organizations like you on a regular basis has that changed the way its being handled well if youre going to look at the news right now its not almost on a daily basis as compared to a few years ago but people are still being killed and still our president this is is this standing the policeman to just kill kill kill the the over all our king commands from the puppy to himself is to kill a person and this. Right so what youre saying is that despite the International Criticism and the attention that is not stopping or changing the way in which is this war is being conducted thats what youre saying here and then the government promised that it will be more relentless in the coming coming years. Again regardless of the numbers no one has been made accountable everybody speaking about the careless and this case but as far as were concerned policeman they said theyre being dismissed but. No one is being prosecuted for crimes that they have committed but this is clearly. A signature policy if you like coming from the president himself what about the other institutions and because you say theres theres very little accountability what about the other institutions in the country that could at least put the brakes on or at least find some avenues for accountability while as far as were concerned if its a government beat is there a constitutional mandate of the ages is just a commission in human rights been doing the something where to go to go war against drugs there have been efforts by some agencies to maybe change that fact from from a criminal perspective to a Public Health issue but this farce richard asserted the leadership has 3 it still has its marching orders to use killing as the centerpiece and just let the police and other Law Enforcement agencies get away with murder with pride literally or right well know part i thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from manila thank you thank you martin.
