We could have a frost, a light frost, as we head into monday morning. Perhaps the far south and east still quite cloudy, so still escaping. But, with High Pressure building in for the start of the week, it means that the weather is settling down. So monday looks like a decently dry day, with some Springlike Sunshine, just not the springlike temperatures we saw through the first half of the weekend. But still, 1a or 15 with sunshine is pleasant enough. But that weak Weather Front is starting to invade from the north west. The breeze is increasing, so tuesday brings more cloud further south on that Weather Front, not much rain. It hangs around into wednesday before the pressure tries to build back in again, and the Weather Fronts mostly pester northern and western parts through the coming week. But you can see risk of cloud in the south on tuesday. Still a lot of cloud into wednesday. As ever, there is more detail on the website. Bye bye. The headlines on bbc news dutch riot police have broken up a rally in support of the Turkish President , hours after one of his ministers was refused entry to the turkish consulate in rotterdam. Police carried out mounted charges at the protesters, who had gathered outside the consulate, as the diplomatic row between the two nations escalated. Fatma betul sayan kaya, turkeys minister of family and social policies, had arrived by road on saturday, ahead of a rally planned to help harness the votes of turks living in the netherlands. She has now been escorted by dutch police to the german border. An intruder has been arrested after scaling a fence and entering the grounds of the white house. The man was carrying a backpack, although it didnt contain any dangerous material. President trump was in the building at the time of the incident. Now it is time for our world. The programme contains distressing images from the start. For the last five months, weve been receiving distressing 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 judgement. Definite Crimes Against Humanity. This is a country still emerging from decades of Military Rule but we meet those who have been left behind in a 21st century muslim ghetto. What would happen if you went out that gate . And we asked whether myanmars Democracy Icon has sacrificed her principles in pursuit of power. Ms suu kyi, United Nations has accused this country of committing Crimes Against Humanity do you have any response to that . November 2016, thousands of Myanmars Rohingya Muslim Minority are fleeing. They have been called the worlds most wanted people. In myanmar they are denied citizenship and the most basic human rights. They are escaping a conflict that flared when this group of Rohingya Militants attacked police check points, killing nine officers and seizing guns and ammunition. These distressing images captured by a Burmese Policeman show a glimpse of the states response. They called it clearance operations. 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. Mohammed salam arrived here three months ago and he agrees to take us back to the banks of the river naf, where so many of the rohingya have crossed from myanmar into bangladesh. When the gunfire started, he wanted to help his 75 year old father escape. Mohammeds village was soon on fire. All our smart phones footage has been given to us by a group that has been meticulously documenting events and verifying video. The government except that at least 25 people died here but have claimed that the rohingya have been torching their own homes across the area. Later mohammed returned to look for his father. He tells us he believes his fathers body is among the charred remains. A year ago Burmese History had seemed set on a very different path. Released from house arrest, National Heroine and Democracy Icon Aung San Suu Kyi had secured a huge election win. 0vernight, decades of brutal Military Rule came to a remarkably peaceful end. The worlds hopes were high, both for suu kyi and for myanmar. Aung san suu kyi now spends most of her time in the burmese capital, naypyidaw, but when i first moved here three years ago, i went to see her a number of times in her house, here in yangon, a place made famous, of course, because that was where she spent so many years under house arrest. It was from above these gates that suu kyi would speak out against the countrys Military Rulers, rousing her many supporters with speeches about human rights. Around the world, suu kyi became famous for her principled resistance against the generals. I was a prisoner but i felt that i was free because i was not frightened. So for me real freedom is freedom from fear. But suu kyis hard won freedom and power have their limits. Despite her election win, the burmese generals have refused to hand over control of key ministries and the Security Forces. 0n the plight of the Rohingya Suu Kyi has been noticeably silent. In balu khali camp, in bangladesh, sana ara is fearing for her daughters life. She tells me that two months ago burmese soldiers came to her village and started rounding up rohingya children. Do you know where your daughter is now . Since october, the United Nations 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 no rohingya in it and it is led by this man, the Vice President and a former general. Its work has been criticised by the United Nations. Here investigators are interviewing a rohingya woman who is telling them how she saw a grop of women 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 that she had spoken freely to the government investigation after being promised she would face no reprisals. She told us she had yet to recover from what the soldiers did to her back in myanmar. But what of the countrys leader, myanmars human rights champion . What do you think of Aung San Suu Kyi now . The burmese authorities have refused to allow the outside world into the effected part of myanmar, but they cant stop the refugees talking. At the airport, as she prepared to leave bangladesh, United Nations Envoy Yanghee Lee told me she was shocked by what shed heard. I would say Crimes Against Humanity. Definite Crimes Against Humanity. Committed by the burmese army against the rohingya . Yes, by the burmese, by the myanmar military, border guards, or the police, or the Security Forces. Crimes against humanity is obviously very serious. How much responsibility should myanmars leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, bearfor this . At the end of the day it is the government, the civilian government that has to 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 where the Rahingyas Have fled from is remote and under military lockdown. The closest we can get is at the town of sittwe. Sittwe used to be a mixed town with buddhists 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 buddhist and muslim communities. The Security Forces took the side of the Majority Buddhists and stood by as rohingya were forced from their homes and out of sittwe. 0n the streets and in the tea shops it is hard to find anyone with much sympathy for their departed rohingya neighbours. Many of them see the rohingya 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 4000 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 . 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 meet for prayers. There have been muslims living in this state for centuries. This mosque dates back almost 140 years. When sittwe burnt in 2012, this 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 her plane touched down at the airport. Somewhere down there is Aung San Suu Kyi. She has not yet given a proper press conference. Not 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 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 and the fighting. She didnt say anything. This woman has spent her entire life documenting abuses against women from her ethnic group, the shan. She tells me that reports of burmese atrocities against the rohingya are chillingly familiar. They told the troops, you can do whatever you like. They can kill anybody, they can rape 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 she gave 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 a chance to see Aung San Suu Kyi. Its 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 minorities fighting rebels to try and get their voices heard. The1 million rohingya in myanmar are not recognised as an ethnic group, so they have not been invited. Waiting among the crowd is tay tay. 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. Now it is a fear of freedom. Aung san suu kyi sits silently with the generals. She knows she needs their support if she is to deliver her biggest policy goal a nationwide peace agreement. 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. You have been accused of committing Crimes Against Humanity, do you have any response to that . Miss suu kyi . She goes off in the bubble, with her advisers. She does not like people putting questions to her. Unwilling to talk, we instead met up with one of her oldest allies. 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 said that Crimes Against Humanity may be taking place. Against the rohingya, 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 on principles and values that once held so dear. Hello there. It should be mild but rather grey and murky one with these two Weather Fronts around. A bit more rain today and some heavy bursts in the south. Certainly cloudy and danker and cooler for Eastern Parts of england. Brightening up after a great and misty start for Eastern Scotland but then western scotland, wales and the south west start to lose any brightness and dry weather here. We could see some brighter weather for the midlands, north east england, and certainly for Northern Ireland mid morning on, and then Western Fringes see the Sunshine Return later. It is a fresher feeling day, though. Temperatures wont be anywhere near as high as they were on saturday, even in the south and east, particularly here where weve got more cloud and some rain around. Now, a ridge of High Pressure will weaken that Weather Front through sunday night, so monday will start chilly. A touch of frost, potentially, but it does ensure that higher pressure where most of us will have a fine day on monday with some Springlike Sunshine around, although again with a weak Weather Front in the north it will be rather cloudy here, and that weak Weather Front will introduce more cloud in the south come tuesday, as well, but still there will be a lot of dry weather.
