Hello and welcome to bbc world news. Myanmars leader Aung San Suu Kyi is being warned she has one last chance to halt a military offensive against Rohingya Muslims. The un secretary general Antonio Guterres says unless she acts now, the tragedy will be absolutely horrible. The Bangladeshi Government says its planning a giant camp to accommodate more than 400 thousand ethnic rohingya, whove crossed the border since the violence erupted. Interviewed for the Bbcs Hardtalk programme, this is what mr guterres told my colleague Zeinab Badawi about the administration in myanmar. It is clear for me that we have two dimensions here, one dimension is that this is not a perfect democracy. This is a situation in which the military still have the upper hand. Youre blaming the military . Could you clarify that . It is a complex situation. It is clear for me that there is pressure from the military side to do what is being done on the ground. Of course, i would expect that the leader of the country w

The week in parliament. A controversial bill that turns all eu law into british law has passed its first parliamentary test but the battle is far from over. It actually represents the biggest peace time power grab by the executive over the legislature, by the government over parliament, in 100 years. The government rejects accusations that it is riding roughshod over the democratic process.

The motion that the house is being asked to agree today guarantees that the party with a working majority is able to do exactly that. And for mps worried about a government power grab, theres a lesson in how to tame the executive. I am no friend of the front bench. I thrash them and i lash them thwack, thwack, thwack on a regular basis but first, mps voted on the eu withdrawal bill in the early hours of tuesday morning. A strange time of day to be making big decisions, but the timing pro
