i don't welcome my name is peter w. you're watching the news live from doha sixty minutes of news and comment today. agrees to take back thousands of right angle refugees who fled to bangladesh. mugabe's exit deal zimbabwe's former president was granted immunity from prosecution before he stepped up. but. also this forced out the asylum seekers who had refused to leave the former australian run prison camp on man asylum. and i'm found out how much with all the sporting coding from the usa gymnastics doctor. guilty to multiple touches of sexual assault and then pick champions are among his victims. ok let's get going and bangladesh say they've signed a deal for the repatriation of the rohingya refugees it's hoped it will allow the refugees to return home once their paperwork is finished inside bangladesh at least six hundred thousand growing or muslims have escaped across the border into bangladesh since a military crackdown began in august another deal comes a day after the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson called the military action ethnic cleansing the u.s. has since suspended official travel to parts of rakhine state in case there were protests over those remarks we'll get more on that for you as soon as we can. the police in papua new guinea have entered a decommissioned prison camp on ma'am a silent trying to evict refugees who are refusing to leave about fifty of them left in buses but around three hundred thirty others say they're too afraid to go outside the former australian run facility fearing attacks by local people now the camp was closed last month after papua new guinea ruled it was unconstitutional since then the refugees have been living in increasingly filthy conditions without clean water or supplies but charney is a refugee on the island he gave us details of that police raid. in the immigration markets. so many question for the. present come and it is an attack. on life not for a few do. you want to. see . the gratian of. the folly they are destroying everything all of you lining their bank. they are throwing. you know our shell. talking with people and treating people then you must move nice prison come on the rip you need is refusing to leave the prison camp because they are so young that we are not going to need this prison compound go to another prison. let's get more on that story for you let's see the comments from the australian prime minister mr turnbull. staying there is obviously designed they think this is somewhere they can pressure the australian government to let them come to australia well we will not be pressured i want to be very clear about this our border security the integrity of our borders is maintained by my government it is maintained by my government and we will not outsource our migration policy to people smugglers the people on menace should go to the places alternative places of safety with all of the facilities they need they should do so peacefully and they should do so you know accordance with the lawful directions of poppy new guinea weeks is the country in which the center is like a good. well patrick mcgorry is a professor of us mental health of the university of melbourne he says them and aren't getting access to the psychological treatment they need. these men are chronically suicidal they are extremely demoralized after four years of incarceration with no real hope about their future and even though they join your refrigerator there's really no clear immediate plan for resettlement for them so in those situations then with the withdrawal of venture presence medical care and supervision there's a very significant risk of suicides occurring and that's one of the concerns that we have now a strain medical association the president of that association dr michael gannon has made a bid to. urge the minister peter dutton to allow the strong medical association to send a expert medical team over to assess the health needs including mental health needs of these men ok let's get more on our top story for you the deal to repatriate range of refugees back to me in ma from bangladesh joining us live here on the news hour benjamin's a walk he is an independent southeast asia analyst and a fellow with harvard law school's human rights program benjamin good to talk to you again the reality is surely is this it was the army that chase these people away because everyone's calling it ethnic cleansing and it's the army who will have to supervise all greenlight their return how does that work. well it doesn't work unless two things happen first and foremost u.n.h.c.r. has to be involved on the myanmar side of the border to assist to assess whether or not the conditions for the return of the ranges are such that they can return in both safety and dignity and on the bangladesh side of the border refugees are entitled to be given adequate and accurate information so that they can make an informed decision as to want as to whether or not they wish to return any return any repatriation has to be fully voluntary and entirely safe of the two different forms of pressure here that this deal is an on so to the pressure on the son suchi therefore the pressure on the me and mom military and also a different kind of pressure but it is pressure nonetheless on bangladesh and the bangladeshi authorities when it comes to sustaining looking after these people. yes on the bangladeshi side that pressure is quite understandable bangladesh is a very impoverished country it doesn't have the capacity nor would most countries to basically accept over six hundred thousand refugees overnight into a part of the country that is almost entirely agrarian and in which most native bangladeshis have a hard time surviving themselves as for the pressure on aung sang suu kyi and on the generals in myanmar it is been inadequate it came primarily very late and you can't simply make a decision like this or make a policy like like this by decree again there has to be participation of the u.n. refugee agency and there has to be consultation and consent of the refugees involved how much of this entire crisis in your mind has been driven by something that the military a well aware of and it's not ruled that they adopted back and i think it was eighty one eighty two to do with citizenship and residency rights it's almost like his part of the military d.n.a. and in a way they can't quite stop themselves. no they can't ethnic cleansing isn't something confined to the past two or three months the ethnic cleansing campaigns against rangers have been going on for years if not decades and i would expect despite the fact that the m.r. thirty's are saying that they'll accept any of us any of several forms of identification as proof that these people fled me on mar one has to keep in mind that a lot of people won't have those forms of identification with them not having had them on their person when they had to flee the attacks against them and those forms of identification have not been considered valid for citizenship in the country myanmar will use every every avenue at its disposal as at its disposal to basically make the case that these people that they've been referring to as bengalis now for years are in fact from bangladesh because that use of the word bengali is kind of loaded because it's good is good judgment folded into it one last very brief point if you are a bangladeshi work. in cox's bazaar and you are the person who's told you were involved in the writing going back to me and mom told them they are safe why should the right believe that. they shouldn't they should they should be able to assess some of this information first hand u.n.h.c.r. often facilitate something called go and see visits whereby certain select numbers of refugees cross back into their country of origin and are able to see for themselves whether their land their houses their cattle. are intact and waiting for them if such is not the case they have the right to refuse to go back benjamin's work either in bangkok thank you very much. to zimbabwe where the former president robert mugabe has been granted immunity from prosecution under a deal brokered as part of his resignation security and political sources telling al-jazeera the agreement guarantees his safety in zimbabwe and means he won't go into exile sources say mugabe expressed that he wants to die in his home country mugabe hasn't been seen or heard from since he quit but there is a photograph of him with his wife grace there it is taken some time we think after he took the decision to step down under simmons joins us live now from harare andrew what else do we know about this agreement that they've reached. not a great deal not a lot is known and certainly nothing official says of suggesting that there is a deal in place it was part of the negotiations for him standing down he thought that he had immunity and he could go all the way but that was not the case apparently and now this all coincides with that photograph you've just shown circulating on social media a grouping that includes not just grace mugabi his wife sitting on the sofa beside him but also some other figures behind them one of them a negotiator who was talking both to the mirror and to the other faction involved also a major finance and also an intelligence member. high placed it television office so now what is happening now is that we're hearing a lot of talking is going on in the senate p.f. party about structural change what that will mean with the economy a big priority we've seen already emerson got to. explain to very large crowds on his arrival in zimbabwe that he speak out in the economy and jobs is a top priority the exact mechanism for delivering in a short space of time is open to some question but then the man hasn't had a chance yet he's just got back he's going to be sworn in as the new president of zimbabwe an immensely historic moment in a major stadium here in harare on friday and the questions abound about how he will try to deliver a better future for zimbabweans he has to manage expectations the i.m.f. is warning that the situation here is critical only recently it warns that not only that there is a massive problem with jobless figures some estimates putting it in around ninety percent. there is not necessarily a not even see here amongst people about the hopes for this man actually delivering there is a recognition that there is a problem he is through and through he has followed a similar career course. with all the violence that it entails and obviously. in particular in the eighty's but there is a feeling that there should be some real politic now that he is a very good business figure he knows business well he's dealt with china on numerous occasions he's dealt with the i.m.f. so there is hope that he can deliver the other question is elections how free and fair will they be there is up to september twenty eight hundred for those elections to take place for condé the leader of the african union and president of guinea and says give them a chance a new p.f. is a freedom party give them a chance there are problems but give them a chance so the a.u. is behind him the i.m.f. will obviously want to speak to him very very soon indeed and international leaders are already getting in touch i understand about obviously not only investment opportunities but also a new future there is going to be a lot of surprises i think in the roll out of hearing here in harare on friday interesting you talk there about the i.m.f. and remain there are countries in the region that the i.m.f. has basically said look we're going to pull our financing here because we know what you're actually doing with the money so mr mugabe's replacement has got to show that he's better than being just the understudy between one free and fair elections he's got to be seen you've already touched on this but he's got to be seen to be doing it and doing it quickly. has to do that you've hit the nail right on the head i've spoken to a number of economists today who say this has to be a high priority can't just be more of the same he has dealt with china as i said earlier he has dealt with a number of of top figures internationally but what has to happen is the gates of got to open has to be as the cliche goes zimbabwe open for business in real form without restrictive measures without a host of other legislation which makes it difficult to do business furthermore there needs to be quick programs to get people back into work. are immensely restrained when you consider the mood here is you know we don't have any police on the streets right now would you believe that's not being mentioned by a lot of people the reason for that is that they won't be reengaged until probably . is actually in place so we're going to see there the because the police are the police chiefs directly connected to the rival faction. party which we're not party but grouping which grace mugabe at the head of it those police officers further down the chain traffic officers people rankings definitely on side but with the new movement but there are no police the military are around a fairly low profile in most places but no traffic officers patrolling the streets nobody actually on the ground. good atmosphere if you go in harare it has to be said people are optimistic people are very very very interested to hear what this man is going to promise them and there has to be a pretty impressive delivered delivery not just of words but of actions thanks very much. well one of his most controversial policies was the land reform program it made it legal for black zimbabweans to seize properties from white farmers without any compensation for farm a sort safety in neighboring countries such as zambia the policy was meant to consolidate mr guppy support but instead it decimated the agriculture industry is tanya page. doug stanley loves the smell of freshly turned the site of his harvest makes it all worth the hard work. farming is in his blood now he's working in zambia having been driven off as famine zimbabwe by supporters of president robert mugabe fourteen years ago i bought my from after independence you know and i got clearance from the government to say that they weren't interested in that land and then. you know to be told to move along you know it's quite a thing and you do you do all that development. it was my home four thousand white farmers were forced off the land damaging zimbabwe's agriculture industry its main export crop tobacco has almost recovered but the maize harvest which is also been hit by years of drought remains too large to feed the nation people are dying of starvation star food. you know we are really living in zambia squatter fees and books and probably farmers in zambia and really it's actually exporting fruit juice bar with zambia isn't the only country benefiting from the zimbabwean farmers expertise many are in south africa botswana and mozambique to another to some ministers around the horn but we drive stories about. five years ago and drive around to the farm and there was absolutely nothing happening and it wasn't only the white farmers who were affected their workers also suffered poor members living in fear of mugabe's supporters on the farm he flayed just before it was seized he's also still hurt by what happened a country is not about white black. us government. what they did it is ticking farms from wag the dog never wrong there are zimbabweans who disagree many say they've been affected from the government's reforms was. but they were devastating for those forced off the land they had invested time money and so much more in. now we don't belong in your group we're like a lost tribe they are making a positive contribution and other countries but it isn't the same because it isn't holland tahnee a page out jazeera zambia lots more news on the sport still to come here on the news for you will also bring you these stories. the excitement of exams but it's so intense for south korean students it can be a major life changing experience. i'm john hendren in fulton texas and town celebrating the thanksgiving holiday still devastated from hurricane army. and in sports news with santa it's argentina versus brazil in the final south america's biggest club football to. lebanon's prime minister saad hariri says the recent political crisis was a wake up call reminding his people to put their country first ahead of regional issues mr hariri put his resignation on hold when he returned to beirut on weapons day after the president asked for more dialogue in the southern and i'm supposed to step down in the saudi capital riyadh more than two weeks ago the move was seen as part of the regional rivalry between saudi arabia and iran really had a coalition government with the iranian backed hezbollah which has welcomed his return. from beirut. the political crisis has eased but the main problem between the two major political alliances the pro and pro has bill. camps has not gone away has arms and the groups to militarily intervene in conflicts beyond lebanon's borders have long divided the lebanese political differences that are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. i believe an agreement can be reached to stick to the disassociation policy lebanon should stay away from all the conflicts of the arab region we need a new disappear because of politics i'm not. just like. i'm going to run the ball game somebody is playing with them all controlling them all many. of them is standing by him. three weeks ago lebanon found itself yet again on the brink prime minister resigned while he was in saudi arabia it was unexpected even his closest aides were shocked to stay in the kingdom was mysterious many in lebanon including the president accuse saudi arabia of forcing him to resign and holding him hostage and last week he left for paris after french mediation he came back to day he then decided to suspend his resignation saying he wants to give time for dialogue so what happened many here believe it was not an internal lebanese affair can he do when you can be a major power as you small post to avoid direct conflicts which is the case between iran and saudi they each supporting small groups in lebanon to fight the battle for example the saudis are using prime minister hariri to pressure iran and hezbollah. and you have eighteen six hereon groups and many of them are supported by foreign powers and none of them are sticking to dissociation policy here nor are they working for the interests of living on the. iraqi forces have launched an operation to clear remaining just out of the bordering syria troops from the iraqi army and the shia popular mobilization forces are taking part in the campaign against isis fighters. hiding in a big strip of border land the iraqi prime minister. says he'll announce the final defeat of the young group in iraq once the operation has ended. the four countries blockade in cas i have added two institutions and eleven people to what they call the lists of terror saudi arabia the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt claim the castle based world a union of muslim scholars and international islamic council promote terrorism through islamic discourse but often no evidence the world union of muslim scholars is headed by yousif. and has sunni and shia members in september it condemns saudi arabia for the reported arrest of more than twenty muslim scholars there both groups have a large following across the world the individuals added to the list include members of the outlawed egyptian muslim brotherhood casaus foreign minister has given a keynote speech to counter terrorism conference in london shaikh mohammed bin abdul rahman al fanny's has cattle remains resolutely committed to eradicating terrorism of all kinds but that it wants constantly. to seek a new collective approaches to the global threat on terrorism in a changing world. since two thousand and four that it took aggressive steps to cut off the finest of terrorists by developing the proper legislation at the proper religious rooted framework and improve our financial monitoring system that has learned that the key eradicating terrorism and its ideology must be through a holistic approach by coming by combining tough security measures with more lasting safeguards we can all succeed. let's get more from jamal sheil who's at that conference in london for us here on the news jamal good afternoon. yes it is a significant conference in the sense that is this first of its kind to take place in the united kingdom which has been at the forefront of the fight against terrorism as it's known commonly particular when you're talking about i so isis imperiously obviously the significance that qatar is actually now taking the lead in this discourse together with its partners like the united kingdom has to be seen in the frame of or in the prism of the g.c.c. crisis obviously a crisis that started roughly about six months ago with the blockading nations accusing to have actually supporting terrorism now one of the participants in those is mr. who is the new european union scored a meter on combating terrorism and i want to start by asking you for us the significance of a conference like this when we're talking about. constantly new groups coming up we're talking about i saw which has been essentially running riot throughout the middle east and even european countries coming under attack from the group what is this conference going to do in that attempt to try and bring an end to what many see as the biggest threat to world security these days for it's really important initiative because we need to look forward and try to identify with what i call the black swan something that is an expected but medieval very quickly remember ten years after nine eleven in twenty. nine hundred eleven. we are told that there was nearly destroyed some of bin laden had been killed and the americans who were deciding to israel from from iraq two years later. was created and three years later the calaf it was proclaimed by baghdad so we need to work more and try to identify the looming threat well right now as i mentioned obviously you have qatar as a major partner in this conference what does the instability in the g.c. . in the gulf mean for efforts by the international community to try and combat. terrorism because the g.c.c. and they are broad that's been recently plagued by conflicts was seen as a safe haven of stability that is no longer the case so what does this mean in terms of the impact of the g.c.c. crisis on it and what are you doing to try and bring an end to this in order to essentially bring all sides on board with your agenda you're right we were to see a conflict then we would like to see an effective g.c.c. it's important for this ability of the region and important for all security as well and therefore we stand ready to to do anything possible to see the efforts of the go wait indeed. conflict the high representative macguineas said to go with your authority that we stand ready to bring all expertise and people and we are people we are working on it we don't want to take sides in this conflict but we would like it to be solved quickly but you you say you don't want to take sides but qatar is part of this conference we haven't seen the saudi arabians or the united arab emirates invest enough in terms of counterterrorism and in fact we know for example when you're talking about nine eleven as you mentioned from the nineteen hijackers the vast majority were actually saudi arabian or immorality so what what's your message to those countries. i don't agree i was sitting with the top leaders of saudi arabia last friday in brussels you know content so it's not a beauty contest we wander about on both sides to do more and engage more with us and that's what we try to achieve thank you very much for your time well it's not like i say oh even though this conference is centered on the countering terrorism aspect obviously not far from the agenda is what is going on in the g.c.c. and the to and fro in terms of accusations that are being thrown at each side of supporting terrorism we're not doing enough in terms of. countering terrorism there are those like the european union who are trying to steer clear of taking one side as we heard there and say that you know it's time that people focused on the threats that affect all of these nations but obviously there is that underpin in this which is that there are groups that are being supported by specific sides or there are genders that are being supported by specific governments and news conferences often are used as an attempt to try and shut lights on the good work that some countries are doing maybe the more destructive works that other countries are accused of doing also peter thank you. he was the most expensive tropical storm on wreck or wind and flooding causing the two hundred billion dollars worth

announced they would be allowing humanitarian aid into santa's airport and the seaport of data they'd been facing increasing pressure from the u.s. and the u.n. to lift the blockade ports were closed two weeks ago after hoofy rebels fired a missile at the saudi arabian capital riyadh the united nations and aid agencies say the measures could lead to mass starvation jamie mcgoldrick is the u.n. humanitarian coordinator in yemen he told me a little earlier requests have been made to offload the aid but there's been no movement so far. well i was going to see the innocent from the coalition to see that they were there and of course all humanity card was to come in and we also hear that sound was also because of the. quest and to bring sensible. diet and so if for grain or all of the with the same time for the sun here or for you in an international passengers. well we were told that the northern gate received a says twelve o'clock on the twenty third which is today so we can turn the obligations for the quest for the ships to come into the ports and also for flights to come in and to deliver medical material to some and also to bring in our stuff so we are expecting through the normal procedures to get on board overnight and we all flew those planes can resume to more and more for they'll be some of the ports as well as norfolk aisha's or the actual original started but there's been a lot going on because in the highest level from nations days in from the u.n. itself the thing that's where we are today and there was a letter from the second journal which said that they want to the poor soul but that the airport open and then the u.n. agreed to send an international team to the to discuss some of the concerns the so english and the nineteen will be despised as soon as we get the green light received a letter back we were getting there not just the humanitarian side of things of the sort of commercial issues that we need the fuel shortage in the countries

missing submarine that has forty four crew on board the navy says a noise was detected near the subs last known location hours after it went missing a week ago as for the crew could be running out of oxygen. the reports from buenos aires. more than a week after the air a sound one lost contact there is still no answers still no indication where it might be or what happened the only certainty is that if it is stranded at the bottom of the south atlantic it's supplies are running critically low. rescue operation involves four thousand people from nine countries with more than forty ships sixteen aircraft underwater rescue equipment and the latest technology but so far there are leads have been false ones. a life boat was found all the manufacturing data was collected analyzed and verified with the submarine command force to see if it was the same type san juan may have it was determined that it did not belong to the submarine the t l one seven hundred class diesel electric submarine was built in germany in one nine hundred eighty three with capacity for thirty seven crude with a forty four on board when it disappeared it can sail it speeds of twenty five knots that's forty five kilometers an hour and dive to two hundred fifty meters these things have turned out well before a few years back russian submarine some people aboard a russian submarine were rescued what
