Welcome to the news hour we begin in iraq where the army says its Mission Accomplished in the operation to take back kurdish held territory in the north its now in control of areas around mosuls nineveh province including the mosul Kurdish Forces pulled out of several towns and oil fields in recent days forced by an Iraqi Military advance the tiles were seized by the Kurdish Peshmerga over the past three years as part of the war against eisel now the offensive began on monday when iraqi troops moved into the contested city of kirkuk Prime Minister he had ordered his forces to take back her dish held areas lying outside the autonomous region well Prime Minister about he said that kurdish hopes for an independent state are now a thing of the past will be so. Beaking to a senior iraqi official about the latest developments in a moment but first this report from Charles Stratford in. Iraq a Government Troops and shia militia on the outskirts of kill cook less than twenty four hours off the Kurdish Peshmerga forces withdrew from the oil rich city no one predicted the ease and speed with which Iraqi Government forces could take control of the oil fields and most of the remaining towns in the disputed areas of Northern Iraq Peshmerga Forces withdrew in some areas without even firing a shot the iraqi Prime Minister says they know orders from bill so i want to help what they went against your instruction and didnt kill the iraqi forces please take this as a lesson many people who have fled kirkuk the day before began to return the lights and were about to enter and we dont know if its safe or not so were going to go where else can i go its better to go back were going back to our house and our city was. Some arab residents in this ethnically diverse region celebrated the arrival of Iraqi Government forces. Now all of kirkuk is retaken and we are happy some of the peshmerga killed in the sport of battles received twenty one corpses so far the bereaved relatives are gathering at the morgue to receive dead bodies of their sons you know bill many people say they are shocked and feel betrayed accusing the International Community of siding with the Iraqi Government against them. It looks like there was an international betrayal of the kurdish nation and that is due to the fact that we had a plan to move towards independence unfortunately we are facing a situation where we lost everything that we had before all this loss as a result of the fact that the kurdish nation is not united evidence of factionalism and rivalry between kurdish groups and Political Parties is growing in. Statement released by the k r g president and head of the k d p party Massud Barzani said the withdrawal of peshmerga was because of the lateral decisions made by some officials the peshmerga general command is blaming this incredibly quick withdrawal of peshmerga fighters from these territories as being as a result of what it describes as historical treason by some senior members of the p u k party one former senior aide to the p k has called for a Transitional Government and says more constructive channels of dialogue should be set up with baghdad after the iraqi army has taken so much control of territory that the k r g was hopeful would be part of a future independent kurdish state president barzani is facing one of the biggest political crises of his life charles stuff at aljazeera north of erbil. Well joy to be here of. Iraq charge daffaires in qatar speaking in arabic youll hear the translation of english at home good to have you with us on the program sir the governments position has been made very clear by your Prime Minister as to the status of the kurdish autonomous region can you confirm for us what that position is. So youve got your. Prime minister hyderabadi conferring heart rate rated there is no fight so he has no war among the iraqi people and the kurds are part and parcel of the iraqi fabric they are partners in our country and they are through. The. President of iraq himself is what occurred and told them we have about fifty five parliamentarians fifteen ambassadors six or seven kurds. Seventeen percent of the budget the state budget if not more goes all these are privileged to the iraq into the kurds citizens as part and parcel of the iraqis if that is the case and you speak so positively about the governments position towards the kurds is there any reason for the kurdish population in the autonomous area to be worried about that position at the moment when they see iraqi forces heading closer to their border are you heading to erbil. Not all the kurds are upset or worried as they said they are part of parcel not only of the iraqi fabric but also of their own government but not all the goods have it clearly expressions. Of the swift. Calculated measures taken by them that have random in addition to the fact that since two thousand and three all the parties have agreed that the political process and every time there is a difference or a dispute the Political Parties sit off together and negotiate and the kurds were he and active part of. Is the attorney me going to say i agree there but i think it was a hasty move unilateral and at the moment what there is a legitimate you might say kurdish president sitting in the autonomous region. Are you speaking to him or are you speaking to those factions in the kurdish political system that do not agree with his position at the moment not to have. The government clearly stated that it is open and it is speaking to all. The parts but we have to turn that page is saying of the past as stated by the Prime Minister that a friend is a thing of the past and there is no. Going backward all the iraqi forces must either because its only actually says that the secession vote was not in vain so it is not going to be a military fight as you say the certainly going to be a political one. About them no not at all there is not going to be a fight the Prime Minister and the. Commander of the armed forces said there is no fighting among the iraq is there is no fighting against or between the iraqi people and the kurds are part and parcel of the fabric and thats why no fighting is going to rub between their rockets and i believe following after the three the Political Leadership has. Banned them because that act of violence and the language of violence and the language of fighting is no longer needed to see what does happen in the coming days and weeks for the moment of those that are janabi the shelter to fair of iraq to qatar its been good to have you here in studio sir thank you very much thank you very much thank you. The u. N. Refugee agency says between ten and fifteen thousand ranger refugees have arrived in bangladesh and thats just since sunday its urging the Bangladeshi Government to speed up its vetting process and the refugees are stranded on the bangladeshi side. Crossing every hour from neighboring me and the un says they need to be moved further inland to safety and to better conditions well tanveer chantry joins me now live from. A Border Crossing at bangladesh alongside me and miles just returned from the area where around fifteen thousand ranger are stranded you i mean you are really at the point of entry tanveer for many of these refugees fleeing from me and more i mean what sort of problems are they facing as they try to enter bangladesh. Well there described a similar situation them misty and us Human Rights Watch has described in atrocities villages been burned somewhere from south and rakhine i met a lady was from western rakhine she said you know the looting their villages taking life stock shooting at people randomly and taking some younger men to force labor come and beating them up making them work without pay the sum of the description we have heard before in similar but the fact remains that the new influx of refugees are coming in and now at least ten the estimated ten to fifteen thousand refugees are stranded behind me you can see barely the makeshift shanty you know tents there thats a zero landing in a no mans area between bangladesh and me and my daughter they hilltops are bangladesh and myanmar bother in between is the not free but now most of these people crossed into bangladesh zero line sometime in late sunday evening and early monday morning and they were unable to go inland because the bangladesh of hardys one gave them permission to cross the zero line now we are acts of water got officer here was a major drunk officer he said oh look we need to have a cordon a good approach to take them in line and put him in the right shelter but there was no clear definition why the un agency has been asking the government to take them into a safer place where theres a better shelter because theyre clearly exposed to bad weather here there was a heavy rain for a while we were doing right after were doing live here yesterday so that most of the people of woman and children or elderly men some of them were quite critically ill they saw them taken by amazon volunteers into a mobile clinic some rations are taken in by u. N. H. C. R. Agency people and no local volunteers are allowed but the idea that this people are actually stranded and literally in the middle of the pedophile and the gunmen well and allowed them to taken to a safer location like you to pull on our other campaign is a big question why are they trying to discourage them to come in because theres no. Or new influx coming in if this is a situation that theyre going to be stranded in zero line theres a big question what is the policy of the government right now well the many questions to be as especially by dr as well turn their spears one of the if youre playing devils advocate one has to suggest that they are overwhelmed that these sorts of numbers are huge weve been talking about them for weeks now i mean how well prepared all the bangladeshi also ortiz because they are appealing for International Help on a daily basis. Absolutely to be fair and the government there they have placed one of the largest influx of refugees in such a short time barely forty nine days and five hundred and eighty two thousand people here and then there was previously some other indians were here the idea that we have to go in the back of this government is to shelter all these people in a concentrated area coordinate relief give them health care as well as take the security precautions without much International Help in the beginning now a lot of aides are coming in but definitely not adequate enough Bangladesh Government needs all sorts of support not just an aid but also diplomatic support because if this continue in the long run bangladesh to sustain this almost close to a Million People here and the aid flow might just shorten down the road and how theyre going to cope with this kind of people you know taking refuge inside bangladesh a lot on operations like security irritation of the local people etc well for the moment well leave it that they are in combat tours we will as the situation certainly develops as it will thank you. Well plenty more ahead on the aljazeera news hour including another legal setback for donald trump a federal court in hawaii stop his controversial travel ban yet again. Also qatars amir ups of his tour of Southeast Asia repeating calls for dialogue with the blockading arab countries. And in sports joe well have the details as m. L. B. s the l. A. Dodgers are a win away from their first world series in twenty nine years. But why should i wear chinas president appears to be consolidating his grip on power at the communist partys Nineteenth Congress in beijing in a sweeping three and a half hour speech reaching ping laid out his political and economic plan for the next five years he highlighted chinas successes and vowed to further open its economy but he also warned of severe challenges like rising debt inequality and corruption. Corruption is the biggest threat faced by our party we can only get out of the historical cycle and ensure the long term stability of our party and our country if we persevered in the continuous fight against corruption to ensure that our government its officials and policies are clean well critics accuse me of using his Anticorruption Campaign to purge political opponents hes already seen as chinas most powerful leader in a generation and the ruling politburo is expected to be stacked with his allies when its named next week it wasnt just plain politics he touched on but also the dangers posed by Climate Change saying that china was cooperate with other nations to as he put it and short the survival of mankind well i agree brown is live for us in beijing he certainly is setting out his stall adrian as a monumental figure in chinese politics but do the things that he wants while Willie Willie rubs some people up the wrong way. Well almost certainly he will so but i think its going to take a very brave communist Party Official to stick his head above the parapet and criticize president xi jinping policies or indeed to question them president xi jinping has effectively ensured that his rivals have been a limited rivals who are either real or perceived and hes done that through the Anti Corruption campaign that you mentioned this has been a very effective political weapon a weapon thats also extended to the military a lot of the top brass have been purged generals who hadnt yet reached retirement age so president xi jinping has made an awful lot of enemies so in many ways the only way for president xi jinping to go is up it wouldnt be possible i dont think for him to retire five years from now when his second term in office ends because it probably wouldnt be safe for him to do so so this is going to be the congress where we see xi jinping i think elevated to a whole new level perhaps to be on a pair par with chairman mao the congress before it winds up in a few days time its possible that the partys constitution may be amended to reflect xi jinping political thoughts and writings and that would then become the partys guiding political philosophy now the opening of this congress was all about color and communist party pageantry but everything did not really go according to plan. President xi jinping can control a lot of things but he cant influence the weather to the superstitious and many people here are the damp grey start to this congress was perhaps a warning sign. In spite of the weather this was a day of choreographed unity after what has been a tumultuous few years for the party. But there was a stirring welcome for the president. This is as close as the foreign media get to the opaque workings of chinas communist party. She reported on his past five years in office saying the party had achieved miracles he also warned serious challenges ahead. Our country is at a Strategic Point in is development the future is extremely bright but the challenges are also extremely serious all Party Congress must assert their size and the high and the think of a danger in times of safety his address lasted three and a half hours if nothing else it showed that she now sixty four is healthy healthy enough to rule for another ten to fifteen years insists his supporters at one stage former president jiang zemin appeared to nod off he was chinas top leader twenty five years ago when i reported on the fourteenth Party Congress as china began to experiment with capitalism the new catch phrase is socialism with chinese characteristics in a new openness and economic anything to go anything that is political reform twenty five years the faces behind me have changed but the backdrop remains pretty much the same and the prospect of political reform as remote now as it was then. The congress will now meet in secret for the next seven days after which chinas new leaders will be unveiled president xi is assured of a second term and this Congress Seems set to cement his position as chinas top leader for a lot longer. Its notable that she says that hes willing to work with the International Community for the sake of mankind we quoted there i mean is that another way of trying to take over from a position that the us is withdrawing from. Yeah i think it is i think the election of President Donald Trump was a real boon for president xi jinping all these golden apples keep falling into his hand as the u. S. President pursues a much more isolationist policy president xi jinping is seeking to have china fill the void were seeing that at the United Nations were seeing that at unesco another organization that the
