Those are the headlines coming up mess next myanmar an unholy. Morning prayers but one of the most influential monasteries can call me and. This is a country where the majority are devoted buddhists. For centuries the religion has been at the heart of the nations very identity. While the pillars of buddhist teachings are loving compassion and peace is a very different variation to the philosophy being told at the mob out tom on the street in insane township. These monks are connected with one of the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. The systematic persecution and genocide overhang of muslims in iraq and states. That. Our unprecedented access to them about tom honesty and sleepers offers a glimpse into how their ultra nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country. Is the joining the forces between monks and generals threatening man was young and fragile democracy. But the love of some of the films when. We did up. Listening saw that we could be up in the world who thought the old school we got the world looking this way. Then the nothing the. 2 2 2 good of those its only job is to marry somebody. But the cough the skull the feet. Because one days ago you asked me if they let me see it. Well. They want you. Roy and yes it is the pick me of the fake name. There is no in our history. Roy and yes is really have been going to we dont like any of the mice in. My house my rules everybody has to and does damn this. Situation. The alliance. The alliance the line. To get our accounts take. 2 the persecution of range of muslims in myanmar can be traced back decades to the military takeover in 1962. Many minorities suffered at the hands of the new dictatorship. The military ruled with an iron fist any form of dissent brutally stomped out. Box monks believed to be the conscience of the governments and of the large majority of the people pressured leaders to adhere to buddhist principles. In bold and by widespread public support the monks led the saffron revolution against the military in 2007 all united for democracy. Im not obama no and the president and all of you got the list noble. Goals are. A little harder all of you go to yahoo dot your own d. C. Much of new a lot of. These emotional fairs are. The most noble model dont let my all model. In your head by a mere. Form of the like that thought it started out as of this year me. First year so i dont mind the time from a. New will be my. Time on the ball but ultimately now almost another. Old duffer in the future with the rhythm of another. Child and im going to do not only make it. A. Panacea of. This stereotype but all im going to need no bonus of women are fabio no more to die yet i. Just well i. Must go up. Marginal home beyond my home go on a. Hunt on the network inaudible on my feet it all or your only will be. And i may thing about maury you know yes i gather. That. Gambhir was released in 2012 together with other Political Prisoners including myanmars current leader Aung San Suu Kyi it marked the beginning of its transition to democracy. But as a religious tensions between buddhists and muslims minorities started to surface the unity of the saffron revolution shattered. I mean that all over in 2012 thousands of monks once again took to the streets this time they were shouting their support for the military and their call to export their orange. You gumby it up openly oppose this movement its still determined that democracy was the only way forward for me and mark. Repeatedly imprisoned and ostracized for his views he finally fled to thailand in 2060. Many in the me and mark believe the military still an important part of the governing structure intentionally fuel divisions amongst buddhist groups they quickly aligned with the most nationalistic buddhist leaders in hansing the armys popularity and influence. You know if you own. One them out of all the phone im not able to get in we told. You 3 about obama you know on the whole that got a. Lot of the gun on the little fire in the hollow. Oh yes we didnt know yet in. The money domino what a minute i did domino while money bought in. On him only audio on. The hostility towards minorities spun them about time and ultranationalist monks organization. The name translates to the protection of race and religion. Its founder and leader is a highly respected monk russian. So long a man or. Not when the neediness another see the. Son not only the loved ones of the. Family the head of. The dam would enjoy the one you had to live where you do not live there grandma. He doesnt know why you that are not worn down i mean our. Lives are. Made him now. Lets see obama done on him but then we all. Know that its a lie that. No other than melissa. Is homo to the. Log i live. And olive garden and also have it i would say your. You know its a big thing though to do that all that. Was given to me. I. Thought. It was a did you. Take a name that huge in the deal is if she would do a day. I go. To good will say by led by. In this moment in a book we just sit in a book. Now and this is on the move. I mean it. I love when bill. De money it or. Would it so easy to go on d. N. A. Now you know in d. N. A. The little that lady would. Through something extreme is it. Especially if it and. I think it has a very long roots. Muslims have been in a mall for centuries. Things became more problematic with large scale immigration from the subcontinent because we see. In the past was those around him are by the way in small numbers but under colonialism the British Empire became to burma in large numbers of course that created problems. One of the remarkable things about the one to period was that. He controlled by the authorities was very strict and very strong. So we had very little religious disturbances of course it was sort of pushed underground. But with the return of democracy and. A greater openness and of course at the same time manipulation it came out reemerge on a much bigger scale. In politics there are 2 emotions which are very strong one is greed and the others here. Because we are under the military dictatorship 51 years. And then we have a civil war thats been raging between the Central Military and the ethnic on organizations. So its like. An ending. Continuous fear. Even educated people in your ma say that all you see the images they breed like cockroaches or insects and very soon go hang stage will be full of was going religious and it was the buddhist will be swallowed so its like we are defending our country our society and our religion so its very potent is a very strong message but overly wrong and its quite frightening and that is the real danger of these extremist monks. Mobility. If you like you may. Have an idea you might film a. Young. Mother that is the 1st organization to inform how to protest our country our is. Going to treat our ease. Voters and is. Peacemakers. Where come in everyone to our nation our country. Ok but we dont have illegally my grand. Discover man dont laugh me. Im no happy. Government must be more care i was in the among people than. The number because we have family there different to strangers ok. The. The. Growing fear of fake news and. Pushing communities never attack and never fight in different fee for Different Countries you can see the. World history. You can see wars history. This is a prank this is a fake fake. This is a fake. You know it in the everybody says our humor rises humor right where is a human judy where is citizen judy. I want to ask them where is what is human judy. Then there was then that they never tell us about them. They all will out they always lout humor rides humor write no humor write is not that fast we have to understand human judy and citizen to d. If you are human being. We are not animal. All of this. Can be brought on free and. He got us all really bad we can all have that. Theyre hanging him before us and we believe in islam people are discriminated and treated like animals by the. State was home to over a 1000000 raija muslims and over 2000000 buddhists before the conflict started in 2012. Since then being modest government has banned all media and n. G. O. S from accessing the conflict area. Where most ranger muslims now live in internally displaced camps. Desperate and afraid. I want to hide my face and my identity because the government. To me to speak out. When you are bad they come and. And the prosecutor. Suddenly there was a remember several hand. We are rabbi time. In tell me. All the time especially. After several days there are people in mosques and the police come in said the hottest on fire in on me. I was in my house. I decided that myself i have to die because my belly was wrong. There he insists that their community had nothing to do with this attack. Many of me in mars activists and jerk. Lists believe that the rape and murder of the buddhist woman never happened. That it was a story made up to start the conflict and. Hundreds of thousands were forced into i. D. P. Camps or to flee the country most of them to refugee camps in neighboring bangladesh. Some of them going to. Police all sports where by the. Time we are. At the. Honduras south thousands of. People. Following the attacks myanmars Armed Forces Led socalled Clearance Operations in iraq and states. By 2018 thousands of ranger muslims were killed and more than 700000 had fled to bangladesh. The situation for survivors is desperate. Now i am 22 years from my feet here the current. Horrible if i want to. But i can. Because i dont have i dont think that. I want to see. Peace have an equal right. I want this is slightly. What has happened in iraq high and what has happened to the roof. Has been. Really kind of an abysmal drop. The weight of a covenant and the ministry of the Security Forces handle things only made things worse. So thats one of the biggest stains on the new government and on the country as a whole. And i really believe that things where either handled very badly all there are. I think. Unscrupulous you know elements and if youre late in the situation from behind. Countries who are transiting you know from an authoritarian system to a book open democratic system face a lot of problems the politicians have to be prepared for that but if i was not. Them all politics is dominated by just 2 parties one is the military spotty they used to be and one is the National League for democracy. We thought that things would change just by having a democratic government you know and the party of sense e. G. Going to get power so again we were also disappointed in that regard. During her decades of struggle to house arrest and she was a nationally known democracy i kong and a harrowing recipient of many prizes she was repeating the monks rob human rights with every breath almost you know democracy human rights no rule of law no she says she doesnt even mention human rights anymore. In the years following the suffering revolution Mian Marcella Brayton its 1st democratic government. But with the military still in power many of the dreams to have true democracy evaporate. And me and mars leaders stand accused of genocide. The coronavirus may have. All starts to change the full lot of head to head for the time being but that wont stop me doing robust interviews with challenging direct questions in a u. S. Election it always seeking accountability from both sides of the political spectrum on whos to blame for the horrific coronavirus death toll on how to fix the Us Health Care system and whether the war of words with china is entering a new and dangerous phase joined me by the awesome for a special series of head to head of aljazeera.

Those are the headlines myanmar unholy alliance continues next. If you get. No no no no come on the whole well yeah you know the whole end. Got up a film about 9 digit interest so one evil. That. If you move. The not old. Enough. To get in movies you will see what we see do you know why you will be thinking. Through all the mojo no dude you are not just given the how to do just i dont want to be told look to be about my get there. And then the body to somebody. What do you feel for these going. On in it. And dont worry about it. Now obama will probably have done my bit for what you will allow there will be few women who know me let the images and it will be i was to them i just need. To bore you and theyre going to. Have it. In the broader picture just like like in a separate division amongst an stage massive protests and bring the population onto this site which the government in power really feared and the bitter gov. Really clamp down on it so if them were treated well. Very good to. See. You can also use monks for your own purpose you know. For very negative. And sent objectives back to democracy the monks are a force that can be used to. The n. L. The government doesnt view the very favor of the western so the monks and the military be entered into this kind of unholy alliance. Player. There is no denying the reverence for them about our leader during his visit to current state. His devoted followers worship the ultranationalist monks along the way. Led. A crowd of fervent followers is also waiting to receive his speak. For her. Class. I. I. I i. I. I i i i i i you know i. Yeah. Yeah i. Was yeah i. Think i knew. Yeah we have a new model. Good. Morning to you live. In. London. Good. To see you. Here. Live here. Live. I. Was born and maturity but i think its. Because as a majority community. I need to admit that i was privilege being a military daughter im powerful even my step is powerful whatever i go out i got favor i can do whatever i want if i want to use in my fathers power. So everything is privilege and everything is just a fine you dissolve this privilege because you are british just because you do something good in your purse life. Of course we have clashes even inside the family they dont agree they asked me to stop same bad words against the military because they are that all people if i cause or if im playing to the old people i would be in help in the future. So when i exposed to the different wars when i exported different stories so they gave me a new insights that i need to really stand on using my model as the majority ethnicity a majority religions to define and those were all press. So regarding the range of prices i feel a huge. Burden because thats not just the room and rakhine crisis is that nation a crisis is not just a nation a crisis a Global Crisis right now. But why but to have the need because the fear. That politicians know that if you make people fear for Something Like the a religion is begun sensitive it again easier to create a conflict so its become like us and politic or we are playing games using that religion and nationality and i didnt. Hear. The minister of religion he was actually from military that means he got to have some kind of similar idea along. Just like mob outta that recruit that by and l. T. You get but it is so his it makes the stretcher that he is walking and as a ministry all religion only for border. This town and current state in the south east of me and mark is restricted to foreigners and muslims forbidden. Only. He gave. So much to achieve and we go. To live at home i would know by that off he not going on in. Me. To id have they go. By that i will go to rome or not its a mile. Deep down in the misery and no one a danger to the one no the no go one night it. Doesnt go in your. Life. They are a they was all valid it was idea to light it no good. Only on their weird name i would design muscle did it got it so when i do you know i doubt he will. So i do because only would it. Be i did and then had this us on the this or that one your dentist. Dead beat up. Today monks from across the country along with thousands of devoted these have come to pay their last respects at the funeral of 1. 00 of the regions most influential religious leaders political figures and other public personalities attend the event wear them about oz leader is given a position of prestige. Dorothy. On this trip scores of heavily armed soldiers accompany him. Deep down in him as a new one and then youre doing your. Job one that has it. So well table 1. 1000000 above your. Teenage. All those stayed in it and up the dinning long on the name and of of his in. The myanmar minister of religion is at great pains to justify his governments policies regarding the range of prices to them. Explaining that any concessions were enacted reluctantly. Got. Off by me. And my. 5. By the. Way and. Ill hold onto it oh yes a lot. Of. Our own did you buy. The whole go go go hog. They started off to get a lot of signatures on a petition. Supporting. Public all the. Interfaith marriage laws and because of support. Huge never and i think this was a way of trying to test the waters. This happens in democracies now. So in the past it was the power of the gun and now it is the power of the vote and the legislature is really dominated by the us to be party a. Past those walls. And so of our. In strength. In the 2015 elections the really tried to play a political role. And to explain that we are to he has visited sri lanka many times and i think it is a game and his role model of the lankan monks and nuns at the park that kind of. And according to the new 3 like an institution. Political party composed of what is monks is committed and then they also entered the election and got elected. Monks in sri lanka because of the general emergency. The Buddhist Monks became very active in politics the same thing is repeated in your mind the political role the nationalist role and the colonial role you know. But i would say sri lanka was peds in politics so militant monsters extremist. In yemen ill look at sri lanka as a kind of robot. Doesnt exist anymore you know the dish are gong so they have to find something. And. They say that the same thing for the ministry they need evidence to justify their big budgets and their existence. Is the law of evidence that made public that the military was supporting them about them. And the law is flush with cash but lots of money. Who are to loot is also because adding funds for the budgets they say that you have to prepare yourself for the next elections. So in 2015 they were actually backing this set and candidates for election i think they will do the same thing in 2020 but on the biggest cayle. I really doubt any. Doubt any. Do the next time. I am. Even. Then i dont like. That sort of call stop result i got was not possible. We fall river right on the field on the 7th because all of the Software Revolution against a military system everybody won the freedom everybody round in my right everybody want democracy. One day the military army come and shoot a lot of people on the street i visit scary we go i never saw the we kill each other from me. I ve so sucked and i ve so angry in same time. After that what can we do we have no power here nor up on about the news that uses can speak out to use power to fight back we can screaming for the human right. Person is why. One should do among job. Losses. Mostly who hate islam the bit is that. No other call me the fuss is. This is not religion this is a politics. Religion. I dont understand the policy. I only understand about humanity i cannot change the war i cannot change even my country i get change to think my stuff around me as this. Revolution cannot exist without a left to lose in with the lead this minute violent i would also are losing you cannot see changing because of or regime is the change the must look you in this time. Which is not of the day or anything at all no matter what it may just be noted it will be idealists you know. Only that on. 1000000 new jobs and now you know youre going to. Hit the. Sand out of anonymity double. The money on a roll of. Government would you like. The protection of buddhism and the current government inspired devotion among many of me and most people. But there are voices challenging the status quo there is an emerging dissenting Youth Movement calling for another revolution. For authorities it presents a new challenge. For others who say they want to preserve myanmars fledgling democracy it off. As a voice of hope. Dad was always feared in the u. S. You know hope brought new ideas and new concepts and who called friend with the cause of it to people all these. 20 of us in the mines to where in the projects like the voice of the news. We bring people together from different communities different religious backgrounds from music. So you know it is clearly that. They dont know want to see any more conflicts they want to be together they want to be peaceful they want to be developed you know they want to touch up with the war and they want to do your they want to celebrate this freedom. And so our job is to let them be aware of how they can influence the future. The future for that. I will not say you have freedom of expression now. Now we can say whatever i would want but it doesnt mean that they would not risk. In just a new outfit by the same doc and since i. Find my. If. You. Get. Me wrong. Im not. Im going. To be. Dong. The most. Similar to looking. They are not on their time when youre not here. To hold your own money while. You have to state your position family at a time like this when the country is divided on this issues when she was on a very unglamorous very strong vocal you must add your voice against its soul by giving science i think you also. Part of the picture that means you have also i would say. You know one day we all would die for sure mom all congress and the. Soul. Everyone show of the stock question. All money pain. To just try our home i think. If we could do their back no wrong. The whole wrong is done. No lines so we will not complain about doctrine and. We will not create our own light to visit our revolution. Alor its still cold in europe maybe not surprising it being midwinter is generally cold all way from europe right down through argentina in the southern half of chile is well known as tall as it was but 9 degrees is the max from here the breezes coming out from the south it was some warmth if your freezer was on this side of the plate when a series does not hold that same low temperature valley right about 40 which is the average 40 line thats for the next 3 days more or less quiet looking weather here as well north of the constant the shows arent quite as a brilliant as they were weve got the breeze of the sea blowing through the caribbean coming up against Central America really so that which is flip places like to be nicaragua maybe costa rica the showers weve seen the big ones over well 1st up to haiti and cuba they dont quite because they were on the small ones that come through for example barbados are only brief during the off news its basically a sunny day and a breezy day as you might expect philbin to barbados typical sort of weather in the u. S.
