Jonah fisher investigates allegations of mass murder and rape among Myanmars Rohingya minority, and asks why Burmese Leader and Democracy IconAung San Suu Kyi has failed to stop what the un is calling Crimes Against Humanity. The film contains distressing images from the start. For the last five months, weve been receiving graphic video from a part of myanmar that is closed to the outside world. The burmese government wants to keep whats happening secret. The United Nations gives us their devastating statement. Definite Crimes Against Humanity. This is a country emerging from decades of military rule, but we meet those who have been left behind in the 21st century muslim ghetto. What would happen if you went out that gate . And we ask whether myanmars Democracy Icon has sacrificed her principles. In pursuit of power. The United Nations has accused this country of committing Crimes Against Humanity. Do you have any response . November 2016, thousands of rohingya minority are fleeing. They have been called the worlds most wanted people. , unwanted. In myanmar they are denied citizenship and the most basic human rights. They are escaping a conflict. This group killed nine officers and seize guns and ammunition. These distressing images so a glimpse of the states response. Showa show a glimpse. They called it clearance operation. Civilians as well as militants have been targeted. Unable to reach the conflict area in myanmar, we are across the border in bangladesh were 70,000 rohingya have fled over the past five months. Mohamed arrived here three months ago and he agrees to take us back to the banks were so rohingya many have crossed into bangladesh. When the gunfire started, he wanted to help his 75 year old father escape. His village was soon on fire. All our Smartphone Footage has been given to us by a group who has been meticulously documenting events and verifying video. The government accepts at least 25 people died here but claim rohingya have been torching their homes across the area. Later mohamed returned to look for his father. He tells us he believes fathers body is among the charred remains. A year ago Burmese History had seemed set on a different path. Released from house arrest, national haram and Democracy Icon had secured election victory. 0vernight, decades of brutal rule came to a remarkably peaceful end. The worlds hopes were high both for Aung San Suu Kyi and for myanmar. Aung san suu kyi now spends most of her time in the capital but when i first moved here three years ago, i went to see her a number of times in her house, a place made famous because that is where she spent so many years under house arrest. It was from above these gates of that Aung San Suu Kyi would speak out against the military leaders, in speeches about human rights. Around the world, Aung San Suu Kyi became famous for her principled resistance against the general. I was a prisoner but i felt i was free because i was fighting. Because i was not frightened. The only real freedom is freedom from fear. But her hard won freedom and power have her limits. Despite her election win, the generals have refused to hand over control of Security Forces and other ministries. 0n the plight of the rohingya Aung San Suu Kyi has been noticeably silent. In bangladesh, in this camp, this woman is fearing for her daughters life. Two months ago burmese soldiers came to a village and started rounding up rohingya children. Do you know where your daughter is now . Since october, the un and human Rights Groups have reported hundreds of cases of murder, rape and abduction. Under International Pressure to do something, Aung San Suu Kyi set up an investigation team. There are rohingya no in it and it is led by the Vice President and a former general. Its work has being criticised by the United Nations. Investigators are interviewing rohingya a woman who is telling them how she saw a woman forced into the bushes by soldiers. It was broadcast on state tv as proof no rape was taking place. Months later we tracked her down, now in a refugee camp in bangladesh. She told us she had spoken freely to the government investigation after being promised that she would face no reprisal. She told us she had yet to recover from what the soldiers did to her back in myanmar. But what of the countrys leader . What you think of Aung San Suu Kyi now . The burmese authorities have refused the outside world inside the effect that part of myanmar but they cannot stop the refugees talking. At the airport as she prepared to leave bangladesh, a un envoy said she was shocked by what she heard. Leave bangladesh, a un envoy said she was shocked by what she heardli would say Crimes Against Humanity. Definite Crimes Against Humanity. Committed by the burmese army against the rohingya . Border guards, police, Security Forces. Crimes against humanity, obviously very serious. How much responsibility should myanmars leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, take for this . Should myanmars leader, at the end of the day it is the civilian government that has the answer and respond to these massive cases of horrific torture and very inhumane crimes they have committed against their own people. These crimes took place in Myanmars Rakhine state. The northern part is old and under military lockdown. The closest we can get is a nearby town. It used to bea can get is a nearby town. It used to be a mixed town with buddhists and range of Muslims Living Side By side. Now the once busy mask lies abandoned. Mosque. It is to be a mixed town with wood is and Rohingya Muslims living side by side now the once busy Central Mosque lays abandoned. It has been that way since 2012 when Rakhine State saw weeks of violence between the muslims and buddhists. The government stood by as rohingya were forced from their homes and out of sittwe. 0n the street and the shops it is hard to find anyone with much sympathy for their rohingya departed neighbours. Many see them as Illegal Immigrants who belong in bangladesh. Do you see a day when the rohingya will come back here and the buddhists and the Rohingya Will Live Side By side . What is the solution to the problems here . There is one Small Community of rohingya who refuse to leave. Checkpoints mark the entrance to this town, a muslim ghetto. This is myanmars version of apartheid, almost A000 Rohingya live here. It is an island surrounded on all sides by buddhist homes. The fence and the police keep the two communities apart. We are met by a Rohingya Community leader. Moments later, we had company. Police . Are you from the police . Do you mind leaving us alone . Are the secret Police Always inside the camp . Really . What would happen if you went out that gate . Beaten by who . Every other day, theres a list given to the police, and then those people on the list are allowed to leave. There is an escort organised by the police to protect the rohingya when they go out, so they dont get attacked. We go to midday prayers. There have been muslims living in this state for centuries. This mosque dates back almost iao years. When sittwe burnt in 2012, the leader was among the rohingya who stood their ground and refused to leave. Were you expecting Aung San Suu Kyi to be more sympathetic to the plight of the rohingya . Aung san suu kyi has never visited a rohingya camp, but she has tried to reach out to myanmars other ethnic minorities. We followed her to the east of the country, where the plane touched down at the airport. Herb plane. Her plane. Somewhere down there is Aung San Suu Kyi. She has not given an interview to a burmese journalist or even held a press c0 nfe re nce burmese journalist or even held a press Conference Since winning the election 16 months ago. 16,17,18. Still coming. All of those cars belong to Aung San Suu Kyis procession. Very much at arms length. For the last year or so, journalists have not really heard from her. Very difficult to get to her, speak to her or ask her about what has been going on. She is not someone who seems to enjoy being questioned. In a cafe in this town, i meet someone who is also trying to get a word with Aung San Suu Kyi. She has to do something to stop the violence in the fighting. And the fighting. It is going on and she didnt say anything. This woman has spent her entire life documenting abuses against women from her ethnic group, the sham. She tells me that reports of burmese atrocities against the rohingya are chillingly familiar. The army told their troops they could do whatever they like. They can kill anybody, they can rate anybody, they can burn things. It is a political rape. You rape the woman, it means that you rape the whole ethnicity. Of course, this is not news to Aung San Suu Kyi. We watched a speech shortly after she left house arrest. Rape is used in my country as a weapon by armed forces to intimidate the ethnic nationalities and to divide our country. So, we must do everything we can to protect them from this. Just up the road, crowds are gathering for each and to see Aung San Suu Kyi. A chance. It is union day, a big eventin a chance. It is union day, a big event in the national calendar. The government recognises more than 100 different ethnic groups. But Burmese History has been dominated by the largest, the burmans, who Make Up Two Thirds of the population. It has left many minorities fighting long running war is to get their voices heard. The range are not recognised as an ethnic group, so they have not been invited. Waiting among the crowd is oui same woman. She hopes this will be a chance to speak to Aung San Suu Kyi. Break the silence it is unclear whether Aung San Suu Kyi hears. She loves the institutions. The army . Yes. In the past it was further freedom. Forfreedom in the past it was further freedom. For freedom of fear. Now it is a fear of freedom. Aung san suu kyi sit silently with the generals. She knows she needs their support if she is to deliver her biggest policy goal. A nationwide peace agreement. Aung san suu kyi tells the crowd what they already know, the country is suffering from disunity and conflict. Then, the Nobel Peace Prize winner makes her plea to the nation. For all the talk, Aung San Suu Kyis peace plan is not going very well. Ethnic groups think she is too close to the army, and the last year has seen an increase in fighting. Since coming to power, all our requests to speak to her have been rejected. There was time for one last desperate try. Aung san suu kyi, bbc, just a question please. The United Nations has accused this country of committing Crimes Against Humanity. Do you have a response . Miss suu kyi . She goes off in the bubble, with her advisers. She does not like people putting questions to her. We arranged to meet one of her old est we arranged to meet one of her oldest political allies. The spokesman for the National Legal democracy, her party. We asked why miss suu kyi is not speaking out. You think the criticism that has levelled against Aung San Suu Kyi, particularly regarding the rohingya, you think that is unfair . She couldnt do anything if she wanted to to stop the abuses . It is a serious problem. The un has that maybe Crimes Against Humanity are taking place the un has said that Crimes Against Humanity may be taking place. Does she take on board what people are saying that she doesnt seem to ca re are saying that she doesnt seem to care about the human rights of the riding gear, for example . Hundreds of them have been killed, that is why we are discussing the issue. For most burmese, life in the last few years has certainly changed for the better. But the rohingya and all those who are still being abused by the burmese army are still waiting, and hope is fading. So far, the price of power for Aung San Suu Kyi has been silence. 0n Principles and values that she wants held so dear. Its time to look at the weather over the next few days. We will start with the short term. The weekend has not been too bad. Not exactly clear blue skies but we managed to get temperatures to 18 degrees in the south east. Northern ireland had its warmest day of the year so far. Weather fronts are crossing the uk on sunday. That will introduce more cloud across the country and there will be some rain. A wet morning for some places, particularly the south east, east anglia, lincolnshire. Then there is a break in the cloud. Some sunshine. Then another line of cloud and summer then another line of cloud and summer rain. Behind that, some sunshine again. It is a bit like a zebra. The best way to Summarise Sundays it will be a changeable picture. This is a cold front moving slowly across the uk during sunday evening into monday. The skies temporarily clear. There is a chance of some frost on monday morning. These are city temperatures. It may bea these are city temperatures. It may be a nippy start first thing on monday. High pressure across this portion of the atlantic. Maybe the far north of scotland, in the north west, being clipped by more cloud. Windy weather. Generally speaking, monday is a mostly dry day for the uk. Sunshine from london, birmingham, hull, newcastle. Iam going to talk about what is going on across the united states. This is Cold Aircoming across the united states. This is cold air coming out of canada. Warm airfrom the tropics. Cold air coming out of canada. Warm air from the tropics. These are storms that have been developing across the north east of the united states. We have a nasty one heading towards the north east of new york state, new england, tuesday. Snow in new york. By tuesday it is out in the north atlantic. A series of storms brewing of the Eastern Seaboard of the us. They are to some extent affecting our weather. Initially it looks as if they will push milder air initially it looks as if they will push milderair in initially it looks as if they will push milder air in our direction. Here is the lower on wednesday. The snowy here is the lower on wednesday. The snowy one here is the lower on wednesday. The snowy one that i mentioned across new york, here it is. That will have formed earlier. Most of them tracking to the north of our neighbourhood. Just about tracking the northern isles. Some spots of rain. To the south, milder South Westerly Winds and some sunshine. There is an indication that as we head towards the second half of the week, some of these lows will make theirjourney across the atla ntic will make Theirjourney Across The Atlantic and may affect horse as well. The winds will probably increase and we will see slightly cooler air. A succession of lows in the atlantic. By the end of the week, what follows will be slightly fresher come a colder air and we will see the High Pressure dominating our weather now, slipping towards the south. I think further ahead, staying unsettled in the north of the country. Drier in the south. Cooler weather coming in behind. This is more of a summary of what is heading our away. Way
