Myanmar is particularly brutal. That sweet sounding to a great gang getting sexual slavery forced nudity and mutilations they used as a tactic of will the main perpetrators of the serious Human Rights Violations outlined in our report including of the acts of Sexual Violence is that me and my minutes are expecting justice and truth from any man maad domestic process is simply naive without accountability but history of the past half century will be repeated again and again. We begin the day with accusations of genocide war crimes aimed at Army Generals who probably see no reason to be concerned if their future is like their past today un investigators are called for military leaders and me and martin face charges in connection. With last years mass murders and mass exodus of the countrys muslims. The report concludes the evidence is overwhelming that there was a military plan to rid the country of its well hinge of minority and history now the army has always denied accusations of ethnic cleansing but they count from many of the seven hundred thousand refugees confirm reports that soldiers had a mission to re race the hinge or for me and. A never ending line of refugees streaming across the border from me and to bangladesh. They fled after Security Forces launched a brutal offensive against them last august. The soldiers looted and to watch the huns they raped tortured and killed thousands of for him. Across the border in bangladesh the refugees have settled in sprawling camps as theyve tried to settle in here with stories of unimaginable horror that have emerged. Soldiers came into every house and shot at us. And then looked me up in my house and then set fire to it i have burns like this. And it was all over my body. Conditions in the camps the cramped and squalid the huts era flimsy and built on hilly sandy ground prone to landslides. Through the world this is monsoon brought more misery for the range. Fled here with her five children after her husband was killed when the military stormed their village. Two of her previous shacks in the camp were destroyed by water she is now hoping for a sturdy a shelter and then i had to sell my pulse is all and even rice for this month i had to sell to build the house my relatives told me to make the house strong even if i were to go hungry. Aid agencies have warned against an outbreak of water borne diseases such as cholera and diphtheria that would rather bad life here than go home. Even if we have to sleep in a trench its better than being back. But theyre not meant to stay here in january and bangladesh agreed to repatriate the revenger within two years. They are now has started building transit camps to house the retina knees. But the un has said conditions are not yet right and so far barely a handful of have returned. Ard so what happens now that the world has this report talk about that im joined by Christiane Thomas shot he is a former member of the u. N. Human Rights Committee and the uns International Law commission is its almost like its good to have you back on the program this investigation by the u. N. It took place without the assistance of the me and mar authorities we know that state councilor Aung San Suu Kyi she refused to cooperate what does that mean for the credibility of this report and is it possible that the military can just simply continue to ignore as it has been doing well he could have been creative it is not a fact that by the refusal of the authorities till and let the commission and of the country i think because they have so many pieces of evidence they can listen to witnesses people who have experienced a lot wild happened to their families and they had seventy seven hundred thousand refugees living in an area down on bangladesh and its easy to access them and to get first hand information from the white house what happens when with the u. N. Security council do you expect the Security Council to refer me in march to the International Criminal court unfortunately i dont think so because myanmar has strong backing from china and from china is this you know to transfer somebody to the International Code there is something which they dislike because it could happen to them one day olds all yeah i mean it brings up the point doesnt it that its really important for a country to have a strong backer or a strong ally i mean i mean mark may have china but why for example we dont see a you when investigation into syrian president Bashar Al Assad for it. It is thats because russia stands behind him right its the same issue you know again well you can have an investigation and. What but what is the outcome finally and the outcome if you come to the response to a puzzle to see International Criminal code while you have the facts if you can say that some years later the person may be charged before an interview come out dr you know and also if he or she is outside the Company Country what about the United States it has not joined the you win and accused me and more the military of genocidal intent how important is that while this comes from the very cautious attitude does the United States and in particular the genocide is is not. Well accepted you know a very small one coming in u. N. Circles because people feel that this entails a lot of consequences and countries are powerful should do something about it if you say this is genocide and this is a call for action nobody wants to act send the military to me im ah yeah i mean it will be interesting to see what happens and if any of these generals do end up at the i. C. C. As you say it may be a question of years not months christiane how much are former member of the u. N. Rights human Rights Committee and the uns International Law commission its almost as always thank you thank you. Well tonight police in the eastern german city of camden say several people were injured when four white protesters faced off with countered demonstrators some protesters wore masks and carried stones monday nights on rest follows similar far right protests broke out over the weekend in cabinets after a german citizen was fatally stay out of two suspects in syrian and iraqi have been arrested in connection with that killing. I have far right demonstrators clash with police in chemical city center i tunes versus bottles more officers had to be drafted in from neighboring dressed in a light siege to cope. Get out of town this is our city they chant in this video shed on twitter that protesting against what they see is a rising crime committed by foreigners. The unrest followed the death of a thirty five year old german man in the early hours of sunday during the citys annual street festival he died from his injuries in hospital after being attacked with a knife two other men with seriously injured Government Spokesperson stefan side but stress that the events in cannes its had no place in a democratic society. This is. Its important for the government as it is for all democratic politicians and for most of the population as well i think to state clearly we do not accept marauding riots like these nor the hounding of people who look different oh come from somewhere else no attempts to spread hate on the streets this has no place in our cities we and i can certainly say this for the government utterly condemn that kind of behavior. Tensioning came in its continued into the night on monday if islands at demonstrations from both the right and left wing groups during the evening. Well we want to go now to our correspondent charles until she joins me from chemists where those protests were taking place earlier good evening to you charlotte so weve got police confirming that there have been injuries what have you been seeing there does seem to me that even brant yes Police Tweeted that i was a number of people injured in this stuff was that broke out here this evening and then just to give you a sense of exactly what took place it just behind us the square behind us hundreds of fall right protesters were gathered and then across the street over on this side there were hundreds of counterdemonstrators they were being kept to pot by riot police who had carefully controlling the situation tensions then began to rise as the far right protesters started to leave the area started to march through the city thats when stones were being fired being there were reports as well from police the number of far right protesters using the nazi salute something which of course is banned here in germany it was quite a chaotic scene police had to bring in Water Cannons we didnt see them use that did just seem to be a tear and trying to keep the situation under control but it was very tense here at certain points throughout the evening. And what about the people that youve been talking to today i mean what have they been telling you about this situation and this clash. Yeah we spoke to a number of counter demonstrators they were taking part in the protests that started before this far right protests and we spoke to one woman who said that she was originally from lebanon she lived in germany for a number of years she said that she was caught up in the violence that took place yesterday lets have a listen to what she had to say. I was happy being drunk i was so huge groups of people with a racist mindset it was a right wing mob they were rolling around freely in the city center they were chasing migrants here with too Little Police presence they took over the seats you have been stuck ive been on you have. Now that woman really backs off reports that were hearing in the media that some far right protesters yesterday were deliberately seeking out people who appeared to have a migrant background in fact. The medical spokesman said that they were hunting them down and that is what that woman told us she said that she was came to come back today in spite of the violence and take part in the counter demonstration she in a number of others told me that they thought it was important that the walls of the media doesnt just reports on these enormous far right protests behind me but also there are a number of people here who are out on the streets to say refugees are welcome migrants are welcome here in germany. What do we know or how much do we know about those two suspects who were in Police Custody tonight. Please initially were quite vague when they tried to when they laid out exactly what it is that took place there the killing that took place overnight saturday and into sunday if that thirty five year old man they said that a people have been several people the number of nationalities they believe were poss attack theyve since revealed more information they say that two people are in custody one is Syrian National in iraq you know national suspected of being involved in this attack police a very keen to stress that they want to avoid any rumors and speculation that concern is of course that they any rumors might escalate tensions here in kenya is they say that they want to make a that the motive is not yet confirmed neither is exactly what unfolded during that attack on saturday evening so that trying to calm tensions here as much as possible in what is clearly a very volatile situation. Our correspondent charlotte shells and fill in the story for us tonight in the eastern german city of kenyas charlotte thank you. Well our next story focuses on the horrific practice of female genital mutilation or also known as f g m a more than two hundred million women and girls are affected by g. M. It leaves them with lifelong scars both physical and emotional and sometimes it can be fatal a recent figures show the number of women living here in germany affected by g. M. Has reached an estimated sixty five thousand thats an increase of twelve percent on last year and experts say that increase is due to the arrival of migrants from countries which are known to carry out the central and northern african states and parts of the middle east as you see right there at a reconstruction clinic right here in berlin brady she met one affected woman who is calling for an end to the brutal practice now her name has been changed to protect their privacy. One has to say. I was about eleven or twelve years old several people held me down then they cut me off they laid me on the table i can still picture it i had such horrific pain well then they sewed me together. They tied my legs together for a month so that the wound would heal. The head had i types of female genital mutilation very anywhere from damage in the clip to summing up the vaginal opening in some countries the brutal practice is considered a rite of passage a prerequisite for marriage. In somalia the procedure is done by your socalled cutter they have no idea what theyre doing they just have a knife and a razor and they cut. After two and a half years in germany thirty six year old e. For seeking advice that balance doesnt Flower Center which offers Reconstructive Surgery and consultation for women affected by a. Dr Cornelius Johns advises those effects and but Germany Service is an expertise in f g m a still limited. When i studied medicine and was uncovered in the subject. But i know this is changing and i hope that trend continues but i still meet colleagues who either know very little or absolutely nothing about this and. According to ted they found some sixty five thousand women affected by a living in germany an increase of twelve percent on last year. This is due to the increase in migration from countries where female genital mutilation is particularly prevalent in germany this means countries like somalia eritrea. In a statement to germanys family and Womens Ministry described female genital mutilation as a human rights violation during this legislative period the ministry also plans on working more closely with germanys Youth Welfare offices but when it comes to some parents taking that young daughters back to the hung country for a socalled vacation circumcision theres very little that all thora to all the German Government can do. Volunteers and teachers therefore play a huge role the im thinking move quick cut only way to really gauge whats going on is to have a vigilant society that particularly means people who work in close contact with families who might potentially subject their daughter to after. These people should be particularly attentive. Ted if estimates that fifteen and a half thousand girls living in germany are in danger of after. Failed her three year old is among them. Miami good my three year old daughter has been circumcised yet but if we sent back to somalia who im one hundred percent sure they have grandparents to make undergo the procedure. But for the first eldest three doses its already too late. And im finding im not that was our fate however those of us who had to experience that but im a fighter. And i hope that at some point this ritual will stop. But this is definitely a difficult topic in the talk about that here at the big table im joined by. She is with the in geo wadi which campaigns against female genital mutilation in asia in the middle east its good to have you on the show how widespread is this practice globally. Well. Theyve seen a map before i think before which is by the u. N. The u. N. Counts twenty Nine Countries most of them in africa two in asia however it is actually much more widespread than this indicates we do have several countries in asia in the middle east for example iran is not on the mop and pakistan india. On the whole south Southeast Asia malaysia indonesia thailand are few cases but they do exist and even latin america so its. All over the world and you were telling me earlier that you spent time in the middle east trying to support Public Information campaign so that people know what g. M. Is and that it doesnt have to take place and why does it have to take place and talk to me a little bit about the challenges of just getting the public educated about this. Well what we do i mean why do you is working mainly in Northern Iraq we do have a small project project also in iran and we do support activists in all kinds of places like we did a conference for example in singapore. In iraq the challenges are. I mean you basically have to get to every part of society we do workshops for policemen for lawyers of course we speak with the women in the villages we speak with them and we speak with religious leaders with doctors who want to even talk to football clubs i mean what do they tell you why did why is this practice still so widespread when when we all know that it can be you know so damaging for women well the thing is that well in some places like it really differs from place to place i and we have our in africa for example it is often celebrated as rite of passage in asia it is mostly believe that its a religious duty. That is i have to point out that the majority of muslims do not believe that it has anything to do with islam but there are muslims who do believe that they must do it as muslims and it is really hard to combat an idea which people believe is demanded by their god of course i mean we can imagine what happens to these women who take a stand and say no i dont want that to have to be and they get to go against the grain go against their family for example. Well if youre talking i first of all there are sometimes girls run away and we have one kurdish girl who actually done became active shes quite young but shes active in the campaign against it and also a mother is because her mother realise that this was good for her but when it comes to mothers they need the support usually of the husband because what they usually do if the community does not is not open to any change in behavior they what they do is lie they lie with the husband that it was actually done you know which region or generates a whole nother set of problems right there that is with the engine you wanted tonight talking with us about this very difficult subject of female genital mutilation is the things that you very much thank you. Well after mounting pressure to do so u. S. President double drunk has ordered u. S. Flags to be flown at half mast as the nation mourns the death of senator john mccain and like trump leaders from around the world have not hesitated in their respect for mccain the German Embassy in the United States posted this tweet our hearts go out to the family and friends of senator john mccain to the people of arizona and america he served so admirably we remember him as a champion of the Transatlantic Alliance and a friend of germany.
