thank you for joining us there is confusion over eight united nations d.-o. to repatriate range of muslims from bangladesh to myanmar the first group of around two thousand people was expected to leave the caucasus bazaar refugee camps on thursday but the u.n. and human rights groups say the refugee safety must be verified before they're sent back bangladesh says only those who volunteer will return but many say they're on the transfer list despite not wanting to go and report some cocks exposed. this is the week when for many trauma became terror will hinge on refugees who escaped so much violence were shocked to learn they might be repatriated to me and more recently learned woman a little i would do it and yeah i've been crying because of how sad i am that we might be sent back our relatives were killed in myanmar we were all persecuted there so much we came here to bangladesh to find peace this is a peaceful country i think but we're not at peace because we've been told we're on a list. that list is the reason there's so much fear in this place it include

so it's a distraction meanwhile people are getting poorer in britain and the united nations is trying to find out why the world body is to investigate areas in the u.k. hardest hit by a decade of austerity one such place is the town of j. wake on england's east coast from their elders here as lawrence lee reports. off a century ago jaye week was a thriving holiday resorts that was hard to imagine now for years this village on the east coast of england has been listed as one of the u.k.'s poorest places five thousand people have been left to work out how to live and almost complete isolation. danny has taken it upon himself to speak for the community he sets up the j. week happy club to define gesture of hope over diversity we need to help the younger people rob that they take the wrong because there's no jobs they might not they might get into bad habits like it's like i'm going to be sore doing drugs or drinking but we can save these people like giving them opportunities everyone in every one sound has everywhere the restorers of the impacts of declining austerity john is an unemploy

into her day in the other area the united states the united nation actually want to help be a many before talking about cease fire they have at least to lift the blockade or to let food and medicine and fuel come into yemen because this is what the yemeni want is not about what the how do you want what do you want others what yemeni gently now we need they need medical help food supplies and this is blocked by the saudi led coalition. port is a war crime so this is the first thing to being on the united states must actually . say the name that that's all we did in a statement because i mean the united nations and us in yemen is a conflict in many conflict or a civil war in yemen is not like that if you don't mention the saudi role in yemen this mean that you are giving them a green a green light to do it if they want in our country ok silver there obviously members of the u.s. congress from both parties who have been critical of saudi for years and even more so now because of what has happened to the market to those members of congress have leverage to get the trump administration to do s

state school moscow views the water surrounding crimea as russian territory the united nations however views russian annexation of crimea as an illegal act. security council is meeting in emergency session on this issue as we speak nato is also weighing in and let's bring in alexander phenomena in washington and brussels welcome both alexandra i'll talk us through what's been happening at the security council. so what we have seen so far in the u.n. security council is a sort of an exchange of different use on what really happened in the current strayed we heard from a representative of the united nations saying that they are still trying to verify what really happened there but that the body is deeply concerned about the incidents and then we also heard from the russian ambassador to the and saying that it is ukraine that it is too plain and dad's the international community is turning a blind eye on ukraine actions and that in fact that it's already minding the prestige of the e.u. and security council and russia went even so far as to blaine there ukrainian president of trying to or

the united nations. is not very deliberative it's supposed to be a deliberative body but. everyone has rushed to judgment without being able to examine the facts of the situation obviously now that crimea is part of russia. russia needs to assert its sovereignty at the same time there is a two thousand and three treaty that still is in effect that allows ukraine to to trance it through this very important strait and so to some extent i think perhaps it is possible that the ukrainians were also trying to assert their rights under that treaty but the fact that the united nations jumps to conclusions without examining the facts is not encouraging but at least there is an opportunity for the claims to be presented the ukrainians were perhaps a bit reckless and perhaps. perhaps there was an intention to create a provocation i don't count that out at all we do know that the president or shango has eighty percent disapproval ratings he is up for reelection in twenty nineteen something must be done to change the narrative if he's to have a chance of reelection and if you look at i

nations of the united nations, they are all defined by a nationstate by their borders. their borders to find them. as a consequence, all of those 193 nations work to control their borders. i don't think it is radical for the president of the united states to want to protect our borders. there are a lot of folks who believe in open borders. if you embrace that thinking, that undermines the notion that there is a nationstate defined by concrete mortars -- borders, governed by the rule of law. thinks that caller that is a radical notion, he has a funny definition of radical, radicalism. i actually think what is radical is the notion that we can have voters without borders or a nation without borders, opening ourselves up to all of the criminality and disorder of a country that is lackadaisical about its borders and the rule of law. we are the most diverse democracy in all of human history. we have had open arms for those who want to find opportunity here. but since the existence of our nation, we have controlled the borders and we had determined and canfact, comes in pursu

week is both absolute and entrenched so it's all this walk to the united nations report on poverty and human rights certainly i've heard from a lot of people who are living pretty grim lives. a lot of misery in the country i think a lot of the statistics are pretty discouraging in terms of rough sleeping in terms of child poverty in terms of at least talk about suicide and so on so there's obviously a lot of problems with the united nations will have left with an impression of a place which is proud almost nothing more than hope live it has a profound sense of injustice but even if the united nations is listening it's not at all clear what the politicians just one hundred kilometers away in london have any idea about life. or you can find more on everything we covering on our website al-jazeera dot com for the latest on our top stories but there is also analysis that takes you behind headlines along with feature stories and of course blogs from our ports as on the ground. just a quick reminder for you of our top stories this hour the french president emmanuel tributes to the millions o

well the united nations security council has been meeting in an emergency session over this issue and western countries have condemned russia's actions he was a bastard nikki haley accused russia of a quote outrageous violation of ukrainian sovereignty and stoking conflict an already deadly war in response russia claims that its sovereignty was violated by kids and it's accused ukrainian president petro poroshenko of provoking the incident to bolster his support in upcoming elections in his country now in brussels nato secretary-general. called for ukrainian ships and crew to be released and warned moscow that its actions will have consequences. are for more that now i'm joined by max milling coaching from our political studio who's marks a million what is germany's position on what has happened in just the last twenty four hours between russia and ukraine well there's deep concern here in berlin of course for the ongoing situation and germany has been already issuing a statement amongst other european nations like the u.k. and france saying is it is standing in support of ukraine the

thank you for joining us this confusion over eight united nations deal to repatch it will hinge on muslims from bangladesh to myanmar the first group of around two thousand people was expected to leave the caucasus bazaar refugee camps on thursday but the u.n. and human rights groups say the refugee safety must be verified before they are sent back bangladesh says only those who volunteer will return but many say they're on the transfer list despite not wanting to go. and report some cox's bizarre. this is the week when for many trauma became terror will hinder refugees who escaped so much violence were shocked to learn they might be repatriated to me and more recently learned the woman a little i would do i wouldn't doubt it i've been crying because of how sad i am that we might be sent back our relatives were killed in myanmar we were all persecuted there so much we came here to bangladesh to find peace this is a peaceful country i think but we're not at peace because we've been told we're on a list. that list is the reason there's so much fear in this place it includes the names of thou

well it doesn't surprise me that the united nations. is not very deliberative it's supposed to be a deliberative body but. everyone has rushed to judgment without being able to examine the facts of the situation. i think there is some possibility that both sides were asserting rights obviously now that crimea is part of russia. russia needs to assert its sovereignty at the same time there is a two thousand and three treaty that still is in effect that allows ukraine to to trance it through this very important strait and so to some extent i think perhaps it is possible that the ukrainians were also trying to assert their rights under that treaty so so both sides may have a certain amount of merit to their claims yes and as you say that it feels that the claims to be made by both sides you would think that that would lead to some kind of deliberation he said that's what the security council should be that what you think they will listen to the information put across by russia as to what happened or is it just a stick with which to to big

nations and the united states but because of the u.s. efforts to try to broker a unilateral deal with north korea on denuclearization there is this sense now that north korea feels empowered to basically step up activities that have been deemed illegal by the and international community that includes expanding trade with both china and russia its two closest neighbors and as the u.s. has alleged for many years two of its most important protectors on the global stage the question is can the trumpet ministration now find a way to not only make north korea stop development of these military programs but also carry out the sorts of inspections that would verify that north korea is trying to make good on its promise to give up its nuclear weapons program. united nations nuclear watchdog says iran has continued to honor its side of the twenty fifteen agreement despite being hit with new u.s. sanctions the report says to us sticking to the main restrictions before the sanctions were reimposed earlier this month a senior u.s. diplomat says there

states excuse me the united nations to achieve a cease fire and they are. long term solution for the blockade of gaza strip. and this is supposed to be an agreement between israel on the one hand and the hamas militant was a gaza strip on the other and the now we have this very serious attack and so the question arises why did israel do it and i think in the past one can think of several explanations why the gauge inspire the thing one would be to give hamas a bloody nose on the eve of such an agreement just to you know act. towards the israeli government's own constituents so the palestinians that any such agreement will take place on israel's terms and so on the second explanation would be that israel is seeking to. improve the terms of any such agreement because it has not yet been concluded and a theory is that there are forces within the israeli government its fury establishment who are seeking to scuttle the process of sorts of agreements through a new large still large scale conflict i tend to believe i tend to lean more towards the first explanation
