Here with the news spread we are live on air were streaming online through you tube Facebook Live and that aljazeera dot com thanks for joining us there is one big question looming over pope francis his first visit to me in mar will he mention the word hinge up now the pontiff has already met the military chief who told him there is no religious discrimination in the country hes expected to meet a young son suchi on tuesday his advisors have insisted he shouldnt mention the word for fear of upsetting his hosts more than six hundred thousand roven to have fled violence led by the military there now in bangladesh scott idler has more from young gone. Roman Catholic Leader pope francis has been an advocate for refugees and the oppressed around the world on monday he embarks on a trip to the region facing one of the biggest force exodus in the world this year previously he called the muslim or hindu good and peaceful people tortured and killed simply because of their fate. During his visit the main focus will be on their plight but many will also be focused on whether the pope actually calls them. Something the Catholic Leadership in myanmar has advised him against there are six hundred fifty thousand catholics in myanmar thats less than two percent of the countrys population which is overwhelmingly buddhist. A member of unsung two g. s ruling Party Explains why they dont want the pope to use the word hinge or. We do not accept the temora hinges they are bengalis muslims from bangladesh so we would like to request that he use the official term if the tape uses the ten you have to assume that its an insult to. One bishop from a remote pocket of catholics in chin state is hopeful the visit will go smoothly. There might be some differences of opinion between the pope and the me on my government but since hes been invited to this country im sure they will be understanding a growing list of nations and International Bodies are calling the military crackdown on the right ethnic cleansing something myanmar rejects. Visiting both sides of the crisis the pope will meet military and civilian leaders here in myanmar also hold a large mass and young guy on the nations largest city. Then later in the week will travel to bangladesh where hundreds of thousands of refugees are sheltering with plans to meet a group over him and the countrys leadership catholics from across myanmar traveling here to yangon to see their cope some trips taking days by road and by rail and some sleeping outside just so they can be here. Im ok with the fact that hes coming for everyone in the country not only for christians. Our country is not stable there are many conflicts the pope will bring peace here we need development i hope hes going to help Bring Development high hopes for the popes first visit to myanmar. In which he will need to not only bring the message of peace from a religious leader but channel the abilities of an artful diplomat got harder aljazeera. Will not cross over to toronto joining us is father thomas reese seeker hes the c. E. O. Of salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation hes also the former media of the holy see press office and continues to work closely with the vatican thanks for joining us on aljazeera how much of a tight rope is the pope walking and what do you expect him to do will he be using the word. Thank you very much for inviting me when the pope visits a country particularly in this country he goes first of all as a pastor to encourage the christians and the catholics living there he goes as a peacemaker and is a Bridge Builder he never goes to burn bridges hes been well informed and advised by those on the scene by cardinal boll by the bishops by other people not to use language that would provoke and burned bridges he is certainly aware of the refugee crisis hes referred to it several times over the past year and i think it would be unfair for you or for anyone to simply reduce the visit to myanmar as whether or not hes going to say the r. Word hes going to build peace hes going to encourage people to change the schedule already this morning rather than meeting with the military leaders later on he chose to do that right in the beginning its also important to realize that he will be meeting when he gets to bangladesh with some of the hundreds of thousands of refugees and so hes listening hes coming as a peacemaker hes coming to build bridges he is certainly not coming to provoke but he is a pope that has spoken out on the refugee issue hes certainly used the words a row hinge in the past so a lot of people just wondering why he wouldnt do so now and do you think that discredits him in a way. Not at all if if weve had any pope interested so deeply concerned with refugees its been pope francis we remember the earliest moments in lampedusa in two thousand and thirteen and subsequently but when the pope arrives in a particular country among the people of that country he never comes to provoke hes well aware that his very presence is a sign is a symbol meeting with the military meeting with the leader of the government we realize too that its a very fragile democracy thats in place and the pope does not want to come to ruin that his presence is the gift and he speaks with his presence and gestures to apply our terminology or our expectations to this it would be very unfair theres a much greater thing thats at stake here its peace and justice and awareness of refugees and i think the entire world knows his deep concern and solidarity with those who have been expelled or those who are without a home those who are wondering does this huge migrant crisis a process cross the face of the earth you continue to work closely with the vatican so can i go out on a limb here and say that from what youre telling me your advice to the pope wouldnt be to use the word that rohingya. I think the pope has been well advised by his own diplomatic efforts by Cardinal Parlin and those working with him by cardinal both for whom he has an immense respect and i cant imagine the pope going against so many people who are saying tread lightly in this situation speak forcefully tread lightly and listen to the people the pope is coming is a pastor is somebody to listen and so i would fully agree with the advice thats been given to him but as we know pope francis will do what he wishes and so we need to wait and to see and to listen carefully but also to watch his gestures his gestures speak or write and that is what we will wait and see we thank you father thomas reese sikka for speaking to us from toronto well since his papacy began in twenty thirteen pope francis has established himself as a peoples pope now hes popular all around the world and has a reputation as a reformer able to reinvigorate the Catholic Church for the modern age but how successful have his reforms been so aljazeera as hosts of up fronts mad he has done and his guests debate this very issue right there its from an earlier episode this year but very much relevant today youll find it on aljazeera dot com by searching for hope up front in the Search Button now the syrian media reports syrian media rather reports that its government negotiators have delayed their travel to geneva for the next round of talks aimed at ending the war in the country chooses meeting will be led by the u. N. Special envoy stefan de mistura hes managed to bring the Syrian Government and opposition to the table in the past but has failed to get any agreement so the main Sticking Point between both sides has been in the past whether president bashar assad should step down from power some of binge of aid reports from jobless were not everyone is keen on the negotiations. People inside syria have been telling us that they are afraid of another round of talks because every time negotiations happen both sides try to accelerate their suffering their attacks on people and the suffering of people actually in pieces in the last twenty four hours weve had multiple attacks in the Eastern Suburbs of damascus a looter. Of more than four hundred thousand people are believed to be besieged United Nations have been calling on all parties to allow unhindered access and its been waiting for the Assad Government to try and get aid to these people but havent been able to retrieve the hospitals are very ill equipped and one airstrike an artillery strike happened in the various theyre not able to provide help to the people who have been injured elsewhere in syria in their door the death toll from this strike that happened twenty four hours earlier when russia attacked a group of people which was believed to be and i thought i did but in fact ended up killing many many civilians that that knowledge possible fifty and medical there and the local sources there feel that that death toll is also going to mount well the u. S. Has almost no friends in the store is speaking right now hes briefing the United NationsSecurity CouncilVia Video Conference from geneva itself and that is where our diplomatic editor james bays is joining us from to tell us the position of the Syrian Government james it seems that so they have been delayed whys that. Yeah the Syrian Government is not yet here in geneva they have perspire on the flight that negotiating team was supposed to be on weve had this before the other way around where the opposition so it took some time to take to come to these talks the Syrian Government says its unhappy with the opposition still saying that assad must go that of course has been their consistent position every single time weve had negotiations taking place here in syria its nothing really new and there are some that suspect the real reason may be the fact that the Syrian Government is still in a military phase right now intensifying the operations as youve heard particularly in eastern while i can tell you that stefan de mistura the mediator of these talks moments ago in the u. N. Security Council Condemned that intensification of the fighting thats taking place now he said these are supposed to be deescalation zones and that is what is needed to make these talks work hes also though somewhat more optimistically told the Security Council that this is a moment of truth coming he said after the effect of defeat in terms of territory on the ground in syria of eisel he said this is the time now for the political process for the failed diplomacy that has gone on for so long in syria to come to something that actually can bring an agreement that can bring peace ok james raise thank you for that update well now speak to set of how hes a professor of conflict resolution a Dorothy Mason university is a joining us here on the set thanks for being with us just your initial analysis of the talks in geneva eighth round were seeing now whats different. Absolutely nothing new because we have recycled the same you and i approach in trying to bring both sides the league asian from and that there must course and the correlation of several Syrian Opposition groups through the front platform of the russian platform this hour the platform. The problem is we are trying to bring them to talk however since the first geneva round in june two thousand and twelve when looked there but i mean was the main or the chief negotiator he was talking to two different groups and he could not have a face to face in the dark and so i come from a perspective of conflict that you need to engage them in bridging the differences first and breaking the ice so i am not really does hope for the dysthymia something becomes clear on the table or a comparison to be made whats going on in geneva and what we saw happen in sochi earlier earlier last week where you had the russians the turks and the iranians come together and put in coming out and saying that he supports an initiative to convene all Syrian Congress for a National Dialogue in syria so when you look at both this parallel diplomacy thats going on which one has more likes to stand on one there is more legitimacy in the geneva process thats in the name of the entire council Security Council five permanent members under ten on womens now it seems that there is a competing in diplomatic process by the kremlin with the turks with the iranians since the russians have helped the Syrian Government to regain ninety percent of that that it were inside syria so to me this second or alternative diplomatic process is it defacto exercises of power so it does not it does not represent the International Community it becomes it builds on this struggle in you and process therefore we have split the debate around the syrian crisis. The political dimension now the russians they want to talk about the survival of or the future of bashar assad in writing and there must be rights i would tackle in the humanitarian crisis i think the you and i was well as the russians have not done much then are we. Sort of finding a way to go beyond the current cold war between the regional powers while they have been their proxy war inside syria so we have so much complexities in both processes and fortunately i dont it doesnt to me it doesnt seem that the sochi or the russian approach is trying to compliment or to bring in new them it is if you as i think she said about the absence of the United States and in all of this different land i think that the Obama Administration was responsible for the lane and then running away from the whole conflict but in two thousand and twelve told us that in even said that next time if there is use of chemical weapons were going to intervene so i think the legitimacy and also the credibility of the United States has been undermined now with from the word house. But between it in the same kind of laid back isolationists approach so unfortunately were trying to manage the crisis but there are no real prospects of a framework of what is a relation or at least a settlement and now if you break down the opposition platform by select in those who should or should not attend geneva you are making more difference or bringing more differences into the conflict saw i think its going to stay with us for a number of a number of years ok and how much of how we thank you very much for joining us on the news grid what to what extent is russia setting the agenda for an end to the conflict and how its put in driving the Peace Process jane dunn and guests debate this very issue on an earlier episode of inside story and you can find that episode by going to al jazeera dot com clicking on so and then clicking on inside story.
