places together. this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian from again this is that he is live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes decides not to attend the u.n. general assembly she comes on the fierce criticism over the handling of the hinge

a crisis. now is the time to be more united to the storm. for. president of the e.u. commission lays out his vision for the bloc urging countries to take advantage of it and the economic upswing plus. the tension over the gulf crisis at a meeting of the arab league in cairo and remade the nigerians whose lives have been blighted by boko haram violence but i determined to move forward. and i'm thomas with all the sporting killing it with stages of the champions league on the way for another season is. to avenge the only event this. may and must lead to aung san suu kyi won't attend this year's un general assembly

meeting she's been widely criticized since the violence against muslim or hinge in rakhine state escalated late last month since then more than three hundred thirty thousand people have crossed into bangladesh to escape the conflict after visiting makeshift camps on tuesday bangladesh's prime minister shaker sina promised that she'll speak about the crisis at the u.n. meeting in new york later this month the u.n. security council will hold a meeting in just a few hours to discuss the crisis florence louie has more for us from the angle. a foreign ministry spokesman has told al jazeera that aung san suu kyi the country's leader will not be attending the united nations general assembly in new york later this week because she has to stay back in the country while the president is abroad for medical treatment and she staying behind to deal with the situation in rakhine state there have been suggestions that she may not be attending the meeting even though she attended the one last year because she doesn't want to face criticism and she has been coming under fire

a lot of fire lately not only for the way her government has been handling the situation in northern rakhine but for her silence about the plight of the rue hinge or now don't forget her first public comments about the matter came nearly two weeks after the fighting started and what did she say she appealed for patience to allow the country to deal with the situation because this was a problem that dated back to pre-colonial times but others have defended her saying she's not fully in charge of the country because the military is still a very powerful institution it handed back power after running the country for several decades but it still retains control of very important ministries and has reserved twenty five percent of seats in parliament and the person in charge of the military operation in northern rakhine state is the military chief playing the u.n. high commissioner for refugees is calling for more aid to help the region. rather let's go live now to turn the a child who's in the cox's bazar in bangladesh for a time when we last spoke a few days ago you were describing desperate scenes people with no shelter despite

the inclement weather have things improved since then. things have improved slightly there's been some effort now that to buying saddam seven with their lead from united c.n.n. has learned that in dhaka yesterday they expect the goods to arrive year in constables are most of the items are four times it should accommodate at least twenty five thousand people i spoke to an. assistant vice high commissioner for you and they'd say our operation he told me they are here to facilitate they is a more planes are going to come with goods and they know the process there's a logistical problem coming here i also spoke to the. director of or i am he said the situation is still very critical on the ground that thing of the flow continues like this the number of refuse just quote very well in place into a million just to let you know how the volatile the situation is in bangladesh and

me and my daughter just today at least seventeen people were drowned while trying to cross into bangladesh from myanmar and then. seven bodies were recovered three of them were woman four of them were children last night a bangladeshi farmer died when stepped into a mine so things are very critical in the border side every night at least dozens of people tried to cross on this side and the facility is just not adequate you can see right behind me some places don't even have a roof on their. government is stepping up its diplomatic effort at least thirty diplomats visited this area today we tried to follow them don't want to restrict. they went to some of the official camp and unofficial bangladesh once destroyed the foreign delegation that look the situation is very grave out here and something needs to be done all right in terms of diplomacy pressure on me to stop the crackdown on running guns on the other side of the border to to question. the numbers dwindling now coming across the border or they're not declined

a tool of people still flowing over that border in great numbers and there have been concerns about the threat of disease there in those this makeshift camps have had those threats east. well your first question it has joined a little bit but by far it didn't stop you know sometimes doesn't sometimes fifty one hundred people would cross about now this happens mostly in the evening that's what that this is yes at least among the refugees you got to realize there's about two hundred thousand children. at least two hundred children who don't have parents or guardians that cross with the rest of the refugees and they're looking for their children there's very few clinics in parts of their overflown spatial babies are prone to disease and so the next stage of danger is definitely this is an epidemic

because there is no sanitation there is no fresh water to many thanks daytime to charity they're reporting live from cox's bazar in bangladesh the wind is back in europe's sales that was the message from the e.u. commission president. in his annual state of the union address told the european parliament that there was now a window of opportunity to build a more united union after a bruising couple of years he urged the block to move beyond briggs it and to forge new trade deals and he called for a stronger migrant policy to ensure that those who don't want refugee protection are sent back let's speak without serious paul brennan who joins us live from paris the wind is back in europe so what it could mean by that. well it was very brilliant speech from. the president of the european commission basically laying out his state of the european union he said a year ago europe was battered and bruised but he outlined the economic successes

he said that europe is now in its fifth successive year of economic growth eight million jobs he said had been created while he had been president unemployment at a nine year low and he laid out some other proposals to build on those kind of successes for example merging the roles of presidents of the european commission and the europe and presidents of the european council so both he and donald tusk currently occupy those two roles. junk i would like to see them come together as one role he also had issues of investment for example so investment screening he wants to see more stringent investment screening so that the ownership of infrastructure within europe such as ports and major infrastructure projects and big companies that the ownership is not necessarily passed outside of europe in a way that might jeopardize the e.u. security but he also had some words for brics if there was regret that britain had decided to take the path that it has chosen to take

a but he said that while britain will regret it and i'm sure that europe regrets it too it is an opportunity for the remaining twenty seven to come even closer together and he's proposing a special summit essentially on the day that britain leaves thirtieth of march two thousand and nineteen in romania to build on the europe that has gone before and create a new europe based on the principles that he set out in his speech he has a pretty strong words for turkey saying something along the lines of turkey won't be a member of the you for at least the foreseeable future. yeah i mean the relationship between the european union and turkey has been deteriorating for a couple of years now president. some of his comments about for example angle america all have not gone down well and they were made mention of by claude juncker when he said stop insulting our member states by comparing their leaders to

fascists and nazis europe is a continent of mature democracies he also said that the way that turkey had been imprisoning journalists basically ruled out e.u. membership for the future foreseeable future for turkey he said journalists belong in newsrooms not in prisons they belong where freedom of expression reigns he pulled no punches as far as he goes and what about this is comments on stronger migrant policy and ensuring that those who don't warrant refugee protection sent back to where they came from. yeah it's taken a couple of years for the european union members to get a grip on the migration issue obviously in two thousand and fifteen for example the u.n. said that more than a million regulated migrants or irregular migrants entered europe coming across from the mediterranean in various routes. so far this year it's down to one hundred twenty five thousand according to the u.n. so you can see there's been

a dramatic reduction ninety seven percent in the number of irregular migrants but what young claude juncker was a pains to say that europe should not be a fortress those who deserve and merit refugee status and asylum should be granted it that said only thirty six percent of those who are found not to qualify for refugee status are being sent back to the countries that they came from and he wanted a big improvement in that return rate. paul many thanks paul brennan there reporting live from paris where millions of child refugees around the world are missing out on an education the u.n. puts that number of holding three million last year alone in lebanon and roman levels are on the rise but the numbers are still nowhere near where aid workers say they should be how to jump june spend the day with some youngsters in the back of ali. for children who've seen too much war and struggle to far too long singing about syria it seems can be an escape from all the poverty that's damaged their families from all the work they've

endured. twelve year old syrian refugee is set up raps about issues most people twice her age couldn't begin to understand like the long days she used to poison a field collecting vegetables in order to support her family. happy to be learning again she demonstrates her newfound musical ability. i'm really happy that i'm singing here i met new friends and we mingled and we started writing songs about child labor and children's rights and about peace until recently is sort of us fellow band member while also worked on a form in lebanon's bekaa valley now the fifteen year old isn't just back in the classroom she's decided she wants to become a journalist. generalism i can deliver the message i want highlighting the

suffering of all the refugees his voice is on tat and i can also express myself through my writing many of the children attending this informal school also have a job coming to class on days off from their exhaustion is evident but their thirst for knowledge is far more apparent. the works with the beyond association and helps run the center she tells us life for these children has been extremely difficult. or not you would have to tell you they were deprived of their rights and they watch for a long time long hours and hard labor they had no right to tool and what we're trying to do is lessen the amount of suffering aid workers say programs like these also help ease trauma and act as a form of therapy in elaborate on there are at least half a million syrian refugee children and to give you some idea of why there is so much concern about their futures according to the u.n. h.c.r.

in the past school year less than half of those kids had enrolled in schools here. for the moment at least these youngsters are transported on this makeshift stage where dreams easier to obtain in this unofficial classroom where they hope an education will always be available and they can do images either in the bekaa valley the been. there or the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program casualties of war we look at how fighting on the philippines island of mindanao is taking its toll on a place known for its arts and culture plus. there's nothing there that i know. has gone caribbean assesses the full extent of damage from hurricane. and in sports fans in pakistan get a read taste of international cricket so i will have the latest for us a little later in the news.

it's been one hundred days since four arab states cut ties with qatar sparking the worst diplomatic crisis to hit the region in decades on june fifth egypt bahrain the u.a.e. and saudi arabia imposed a land sea and air blockade accusing catarrh of sponsoring to sponsoring terrorism a charge that doha strongly denies. there were strong words at an arab league summit in cairo on tuesday when cattle raised the blockade accused quote some regimes and waging a media campaign against it one of the precursors to the gulf crisis was an anti terror summit in the saudi capital riyadh in may that was donald trump's first overseas trip as president and some analysts have suggested that it embolden the arab states to cut the ties with qatar kuwait has been mediating the disputes with no success so far president trump has also offered his services to resolve the

crisis despite earlier sending conflicting signals about where he. well the crisis had a big impact on young catteries who had been studying in universities across the gulf one cattery student we spoke to was just a day away from finishing his degree when the gulf crisis began cohen malone reports. him used to fall solder is on a mission to save his education he studied for a bachelor's then a master's degree in law for more than six years at sharjah university in the u.a.e. he had an interview booked for his thesis on june sixth a day after the gulf crisis began and all catteries were ordered out of bahrain egypt saudi arabia and the u.a.e. you know i don't have any. any country because you know. more than six years. should be. think of our dirty you know idea should be studying in. any country. i can't get us to

because he needs from the u.a.e. to prove he's finished his studies he's unrolled it cash university in the hope that he'll still qualify however assessing these students without academic records is difficult the total number so far more than thirty three students in the four countries. that they met in the equivalency to make the course that the student already finished and that one of these country equivalent to make it quicker to their one and the other university you must compare the topics the content of the nationalities with qatari visas are affected too we finally they finally figured out that she would be able to attend if they cancelled her cut your residency here so her student really got accepted once she cancelled her culture as well as well as affecting their studies it's stressful. i

have family. because to me especially in a family. as we have conflict to the point that. we stop talking to them looking to us. as i go home. being home from my home my mother those. kids are so like seeing my wife. not good looking talented. katter's human rights committee says they've heard from thousands of students who say their education has been disrupted by the crisis at least seven hundred bahraini is a mirage he's in saudis have had to leave cattle university and they were ordered to return home by their governments despite that students from the blockading countries remain welcome to study in quetta including universities in education

city academic leaders are worried that while katter is trying to develop education and research across the region the gulf crisis is having the opposite effect that in baghdad it will be in the minds of the new janelle ration that it's certainly been bought out of that regardless of which bar to live in and which country. and this is something that it is not easily been going to be you know. when the political decision you know of those pocket country will change universities have reopened after the summer holidays and just like last year will include students from all over the region and other parts of the world's. students are registering here for the new academic year and cattle university among them a students from the blockading countries who decide to stay on the register despite the restrictions and there are categories being kicked out of other regional institutions have had to come back home to die hard to continue their degrees. student such as grateful for the opportunity to secure an education despite the

political arguments. caroline malone al jazeera. that's kind of you now for. director of the gulf studies program at qatar university will talk about that the wider gulf crisis is. not just that the impact on education here what do you make of this this rather ugly spat we had at the arab league meeting yesterday. it's definitely very unfortunate to see this happening in the arab league we've had spots like this in the past and we thought we've overcome them the countries and the leaderships in the region have become much more mature and to be able to deal with politics and deal with conflicts in a more civilized manner i suppose from catalyst point of view it's a expression of frustration to the fact that the ambassador could believe what he was hearing absolutely i mean the media and the and the rhetoric that we hear from

the other side is just so overwhelming and so biased that it's difficult to even give an honest opinion and. league has become with this defunct operation anywhere defunct defunct league it's been like this for a while we thought this is the time that they actually should try to change but the seem that the leadership of some lot of countries that are still in control of the arab league don't wanted to change the want to make it as a tool to implement their own policy so here we are one hundred days into this crisis still no closer it seems to any kind of resolution why is that. i don't think the crisis that started with such civility. and such an attack in qatar. could could have gone very quickly. this is and but but isn't it crisis the two thousand and thirteen two thousand and

fourteen crisis was just a withdrawal of him but of that but this is a total blockade of the country. expected that's going to be over very soon and i think there is it's too ambitious this country's blockading country is really misread and mis judge what qatar can do and that is illions of qatar again to look at. sanctions only work in a very very few conditions and history tells us that they don't always work all right so what needs to happen then to move the situation forward we had just a few days ago donald trump getting involved the president of the u.s. we had this phone call between the leaders of qatar and saudi arabia or the crown prince of saudi arabia and then suddenly it all went wrong again unfortunately it did and for the wrong reason as well i think the american involvement has become extremely essential it's really critical. the procrastination initially and

the diversity between the leadership in the united states the white house the presidency and also the institutions like the minister of foreign affairs and missile defense has created this ambiguity that it seems seems to the american voice is becoming one and basically did on one to see this crisis continuing because it does affect the region the stability of the region and also it affects their policy of war against terror a really good source you many thanks for being with us here on that he was out with all these developments of the arab league and the fact that we have now reached one hundred days since the crisis big. and the news grid team has a special edition later on wednesday is in the news group studio studio fourteen here it out of here to tell us all about it. yes i did another one of those little milestones one which we wondered whether we would actually reach or not and yet here we are hundred days in and things remain unresolved so this special edition of

news good we're going to focus on impacts kothari students who had to leave the blockading countries as you've spoken about and now trying to pick up their studies again here or indeed students who've been effectively recalled from casa by any of the four nations also the impact on local businesses you know the start of the crisis was about supermarkets and supplies and the like now small businesses are really feeling the pinch because so much trade in business was done in the immediate gulf region and also the impact on the hearts and minds there is a big information war going on over this crisis and it's getting even bigger and into the realms of fake news as they like to say which it is but from the listening post we'll have a feature on that of course news group doesn't work without you so please head to facebook dot com slash a.j. news grid you can leave your comments and your questions there if you're here in qatar or you're in the region and you've got a story to tell about how you've been impacted you can whatsapp as a video and audio message seven four five one triple one four nine is the number

way north westwards but before it makes its way on to the coast of china we're expecting it to bend back around to wards japan so it may well be that the coast of china only has a glancing blow from this storm we just see some heavy rain and it's actually japan where we see the worst of this storm and it is still a strengthening system now the second storm well this is what it's already done force in the philippines this is actually supposed to be a bridge clearly completely submerged there we had lots of flooding from the system even though the winds were really quite weak it's now working its way towards the west and we're expecting it to continue its journey westwards strengthening if it does say until it hits vietnam. the way that sponsored by the time makes. a deadly attack destroyed her family and left her badly wounded. home with us for a long time from gaza to california a little girl's journey of love through adversity i was very timid that was she came as a time progress should become our family again. that would touch the hearts of the

identity of the people. dog an al-jazeera. source something. to catherine nationals of accused ten officials from the u.a.e. of torturing them at illegally imprisoning them a short while ago their u.k. based lawyer gave a statement outside scotland yard he's given london's metropolitan police details of the allegations under u.k. law british police can investigate and arrest foreign nationals entering the country if they're suspected of war crimes torture or hostage taking anywhere in the world would be dixon is the lawyer for those two cattery men and joins us now live from london these allegations relate to something that happened two years ago am i right in thinking that mr dixon why why now why if your clients decided to bring this action now. yes there they were late to events in respect to three victims from twenty thirteen until twenty fifteen when they were released in the

case of one of them he was healthy as long as twenty seven months in detention when he was tortured there was a period when they were recovering they often and they have said to me they just did not want to think about this or take this forward but once it became public that they had made confessions which were tortured out of them while in custody these confessions were aired on national television in the united arab emirates they were determined to clear their reputations to make it clear to the world that these confessions were not given voluntarily that they were tortured and that they now wanted compensation and accountability for what had happened to them tiny likely the unlikely that anyone will be punished even if the metropolitan police finds there is a case to answer here because these men can just simply avoid not coming to the u k

. that's correct they can only be arrested if they come here but we have not named the suspects they may will come here and they could be arrested but also what is important is that the matter has been investigated for the record and a line is being drawn that these kinds of acts are not acceptable wherever they are committed by by any country in the world and that if persons do commit these kind of acts will then they might be restrictions placed on their movement don't have to be careful where they go you say that these confessions these the confessions that they that these men made were broadcast by local television in in the the u.a.e. what led to those can yes confessions what are the allegations that they're they're making why did they make those confessions. well they make very clear that they

only made those confessions off they've been tortured they've been beaten they were hung upside down electrocuted and then they were promised that if they made these confessions that were scripted for them which they had to read out in front of a camera they would be released of course they weren't released today after those confessions were in fact used against them and two of them were convicted and it's as a result of the fact that those were then made public that they wanted to make it absolutely clear that they were not given of the own free will they were tortured out of them the confessions concerned them having to admit to being spies and being enemies of the u.s. and looking to take steps to undermine security and they were used in documentaries in the u.a.e. to try and justify the actions that were then being taken in june of this year against qatar which continue no ok so many thanks indeed for for being with us good
