Last few months of the some parts of the country this is wasted remained the same which is the international the u. S. Led Coalition Backing the s. D. F. Is launching its campaign to effect i said from its last stronghold in. India and also in that this is creating a humanitarian crisis thousands of people are reported to have fled the fighting today particularly in india also dozens of families being the fighting in iraq because of the situations situation remains quite difficult in the lot of parts of the country as you know so having Turkish Military is paving the ground for a Major Military operation to try to control the southern. Part of a destination agreement that was signed. Between turkey and russia. Thanks very much of course well come back to you as that situation develops lets move over to europe now and to spain where the Prime Ministers asked catalan leaders to clearly state if they have declared independence before taking any measures on tuesday catalonia as leader charles ship stepped back from announcing full independence and signed a symbolic declaration instead to allow for negotiations with madrid and of course is inside the parliamentary building of these vanished parliament in madrid we are expecting the Prime Minister to speak and we will go to that statement and speech when it does happen the speaker of the house of course allowing the three members of parliament to speak individual get the circumstances in catalonia lets join lawrence lee who is just outside that building and of course what president a Mariano Rajoy wants lawrences complete and utter clarification about what the catalonian leadership actually declared on tuesday only then can he make a decision i presume about how hes going to move forward. Yes thats right i mean in this in this game. You know barcelona last night said we want independence but we clear independence but also were going to suspend. Mariano rajoy is about to take the podium lets just listen to what he has to say well come back to you lawrence thank you. Ladies and gentlemen. Where the cabinet has formally requested the Catalan Government to confirm whether or not they have to clear the pendant of catalonia. Regardless of whether its going to come into effect or not this is the previous two articles bonafide fife antics to provide. Security to the citizens of a significant issue. Based on the response from the catalan leader. Will decide the following steps one which. Forwards in time and they dont want to return to normality to restore the constitutional normality. Or otherwise he can continue for something and. I sincerely hope that he will choose the right decision we are. Very clear from the outset. Is kind of experiencing some of the most serious issues its not at this period between incompetent or. Its not even public order. Unfortunately thats not the case today in catalonia spain and. Has nothing to do with. The usual political scuffle. I mean we are actually facing. That go beyond political clout that we may see in the civilized society. Principles so to the. Court of law and how enormous comes the. Respect of the law being defined. These are the foundations of the Democratic Society the clear ality legality. Forty years ago visual culture democracy. And the spanish. Have been able to find a space for. That includes different which is an agreement and where we are infiltrate presented this is in trying to in our constitution and this United Nations and territories in a common project that has converted in one of the best countries in the world. And this is what is currently at risk. The spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy speaking there in parliament to out what he expects certainly from the council and leadership he said he does want the leadership to clarify the status of. You know to know. That they have declared independence it is a precursor legally for them to then the set into motion article one five five which would bring back powers from catalonia back to madrid lets just join lowers the is also listening in to what the spanish Prime Minister has said and that is the case really is it not its its about procedural. Scenarios that the spanish Prime Minister has to go through before he can actually take any action at all. Well yeah thats right i mean its exactly the same as what he said earlier which we expected he was going to go off message speaking to the parliament because legally they want to do things exactly by the book and as you say that is to say that if the catalan say yes we are actually declaring independence the precursor to that. Is that confirmation and then legally theyre allowed to trigger article one five five and take back the autonomous powers and so yes its true its a procedural thing but its also an exercise in bluff calling because he knows. That the catalans are splits theres a section of the Independence Movement that wanted to. Get full independence yesterday and they that they didnt get their way theres a whole other sector the Independence Movement is much more nervous about it and wants to wait because the population doesnt want any of it at all and so what hes trying to do is basically to call their bluff. And see how far theyre prepared to go now interesting lee even before he made this announcement in parliament after he gave this statement earlier on for the benefit of the worlds media the catalans have already been asked over and over again including by us whats to going to be you know whats going to say is he going to go full independence or is it not because its the precursor to what might happen next at the moment their response is to say we want mediation and theyve said this to us we want to cut to lands and to spanish. Mediators and this at the moment is our position now on one level thats no good at all for spain because theyve said no mediation we dont want a little mediation at all we dont need the European Union a little but crucially what it also says is were not announcing independence and so to that extent roy has already got his way because we call their bluff at the moment the catalans are not going down they find were going to do it line which you know. Potentially exacerbating the divisions inside their own movement and so many people in madrid think that that has been his advisors have been very clever by basically pushing it straight back to boston and saying you need to tell us not exactly what you intend to do because you know you. Cant actually say that because of divisions inside society to begin the moment indeed for them and well leave it there and well wait to see if we get more reaction either from madrid or from barcelona as well thanks lawrence. The United Nations is accusing me of Security Forces of torture killings and the rape of children as part of what it says were well organized coordinated and systematic attacks against the rangers described attacks carried out by me and while Security Forces often in conjunction with armed individuals aimed at preventing the Ethnic Minority Group from returning to homes more than half a million ranger have fled to bangladesh since august. Yeah. Pocketed joins me now from the International Rescue committee joins me from new york good to have you with us mr kitchen lets just begin with how you want to manage to collate the information in your report and how surprised are you at the findings well this is as you said the largest fastest exodus of refugees crossing an International Border that the world has seen in twenty five years since rwanda half a Million People moving in less than ten days is a big thing that the International Community needs to take seriously over the period of the last two weeks weve conducted a detailed assessment going shelter to shelter interviewing families and Key Stakeholders to understand the violence that people have seen the rangar has seen as they fled from their homes to save their lives and the needs that they now have now that theyre in bangladesh of course the report is compiled on the experiences not the eyewitness testimony that your workers can actually see for themselves or look grow old i mean there are huge challenges ahead i mean first is to look after those that have managed to escape as you say but also the much larger question of what to do with them in the long term. Absolutely so we heard terrible stories of violence that women and children had faced as they were awoken in the middle of the night and forced to run from their homes we heard that now that they are in bangladesh more than one third of the population have no access to a toilet which brings on Huge Public Health risks and three quarters of the refugee population are hungry and having to cut down on the number of meals they eat a day so as to make sure that theres an offshoot for their kids to eat its a huge task to look after this number of people and while the government of bangladesh have been very welcoming the capacity on the ground of International National n. G. O. S and u. N. Agencies isnt currently up to the task of keeping these people alive and safe how important is that your evidence that you believe to collate is you might take it higher up the political ladder to actually see those that are the Decision Makers around the world actually take some action. Is your report good to have that sort of impact can it have any impact we hope so the International RescueCommittee Staff on the ground as you said are experts weve spoken to many hundreds of people to understand the situation and weve put forward our best understanding of the situation the challenges and humanitarian needs that the people face were going to be talking to governments around the world were going to be talking to the government of bangladesh and the un asking the government of bangladesh to keep its borders open so people can continue to make the trip to safety safely weve heard stories of minefields weve heard stories of people drowning as they try to escape by sea the government of bangladesh need to keep their borders open and then register the refugees as they arrive in their country so they can gain access to assistance for the.
