have rallied behind the military crackdown the reports from. the sign reads collecting donations for the displaced in rakhine state this charity drive is being run by a monastery in yangon six hundred kilometers from the fighting in northern rakhine state but it's mainly for the rakhine the ethnic majority in the state who are mostly buddhists some thirty thousand of whom have been displaced. if there was fighting here among who runs into a mosque would be killed but a monastery will save all who shelters their homes our religion forbids us from killing but i'm not afraid to walk past a monastery in a church or a hindu or sikh temple but i'm scared of walking past the mosque there are a few in myanmar who will speak out publicly in support of the ranger the muslim minority remain stateless and are largely regarded as illegal migrants from bangladesh the military crackdown which has been condemned for its brutality around

the world hasn't drawn the same sort of criticism from people here. yes they should carry out a security operation to eradicate terrorism if not they'll be no peace. let's take you straight to the un general assembly in new york that's where the u.n. secretary general antonio harish is addressing. when we met last week there were sweat under twenty five thousand rowing refugees we had fled into bangladesh that number is not tripled to nearly syria and the eighty thousand many are staying in makeshift settlements or with those communities where generous is sharing what they have but women and children arriving hungry and malnourished i urge all countries to do what they can for humanitarian assistance to be provided as you know i wrote an official letter to the security council to express my concern and i welcome the council's decision to discuss these prizes today i have condemned the

attacks buried by the iraq and growing a salvation army but in rack and state there have been disturbing reports of attacks by security forces against civilians which are completely and acceptable aided by un agencies and international nongovernmental organizations have been severely disrupted i call on the myanmar or sorry it is to suspend the military action and the violence appalled the rule of law and recognize the right of return of all those were to leave the country and i urge them to ensure the delivery of vital humanitarian aid by united nations agencies non-governmental organizations and others i repeat my call for an effective action plan to address the root causes of the crisis the muslims of rock in iraq and state must be granted nationality

or at least for now a legal startles that allows them to lead a normal life including freedom of movement and the access to live in markets education and health services turning now to the democratic people's republic of korea. the nuclear missile tests very deep a.r.k of created great instability and tension on the korean peninsula surat the region and beyond unity in the security council is critical and this week's unanimous adoption of a new resolution sends a clear message that the d.p. r. k. mast can ply a fully we did international obligations i call on all member states to ensure the full implementation of these and other relevant security council resolutions but the security council unity also creates an opportunity for diplomatic engagement an

opportunity that must be seized the solution can only be political military action could cause devastation on a scale that would take generations to overcome ladies and gentleman i would also like to announce two new initiatives to strengthen the work of the united nations that are part of my brother reform agenda when i took office i called for a surge in the promise of peace since then i have increased my earning gauge meant and work to improve our institutional capacity to conduct mediation as part of this effort i'm announcing today the establishment of a new eye level advisory board on mediation the more of these made up of eighteen internationally recognized personalities who bring experience and skills deep knowledge and extensive context to these extremely important task the names will be

there in about distributed to all of you i will look to the boards to provide me with advice and to back specific mediation efforts i am confident they will help us to collaborate to more effectively with regional organizations non-governmental groups and others involved in mediation around the worlds. so that is the u.n. secretary general antonio terrace addressing the media at the united nations in new york at the start of this speech to the media he talked about the crisis in libya in march and in bangladesh he says nearly three hundred eighty thousand brechin jim muslims are now in bangladesh and he welcomes the council's decision to discuss the crisis but he called on the me and our military to suspend their military violence against civilians in rakhine state he says attacks by security forces are completely unacceptable he also briefly mentioned the latest situation as regards north korea saying north korea must comply fully with security council resolutions

let's speak to our u.n. correspondent western jordan she is live there listening in to that speech at the headquarters in new york and roles he was very strong on the subject of the range of muslims. he was very very strong felicity and it's important to note that up until now even though antonio guterres noted that he had sent a letter to the security council and calling for them to take some sort of action in response to this growing crisis this is really his first opportunity to say very publicly that the rohingya should be granted citizenship inside me and mark something which the government both the. new democratic iteration of without its own suchi is the state councilor and before that the military had consistently denied to these people living in rough kind state they had said that they were illegal immigrants even though their families go back generations and they had long

insisted that the world should move permanently to bangladesh or to india and certainly in light of the fact that there is growing violence both being carried out by the me and more military as well as by partisans who are motivated by their own view of me and more as a buddhist country and not one that is. sectarian this is really causing a lot of alarm here at u.n. headquarters any moment now we should mention felicity the security council is going to be going into closed session to discuss the crisis in me amar and invalid and the status and the well being of the ruling of people and what if anything the council can do to try to resolve this crisis is interesting you mentioned roles that about a young son see chiwetel and say in the last couple of hours that on sunset she is

not going to be attending the u.n. general assembly next week. that's right and obviously you know because of the ongoing political crisis the ongoing humanitarian crisis it would be some would argue that it would be unseemly for her to be out of the country at a time when there is growing international pressure on sound suchi to use her the leverage with the military to try to resolve the crisis there is also perhaps some speculation that if she were to come to the united states and particularly to the u.n. for the high level meetings next week here at u.n. headquarters that she might run into a lot of opposition she might run into protests she might run into other world leaders who might say to her directly that she needs to do more that she needs to live up to the fact that she is a nobel peace prize winner so again this is all speculation but certainly it would

be perhaps a risky for her to leave me amar at a time when the situation is only getting worse and of course one other thing that is very much of concern here u.n. headquarters is that the me and maher government has not allowed u.n. aid workers as well as other in geos to go to iraq and state and to try to provide support to families who have been burned out of their homes who have basically been forced to leave their communities and certainly it would perhaps be awkward and that would is an understatement to end up having to confront or be confronted by u.n. officials who are very much concerned about the well being of the rock of the ruling a people right now absolutely life at the u.n. in new york thanks miles.

at least three people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up near a cricket stadium in the afghan capital kabul the blast outside the kabul international cricket stadium happened during a t twenty match in afghanistan bacchis a cricket league all the players a safe but two police officers and one civilian were killed the president of the european commission says the block is back on track after britain's vote to leave the european union in his annual state of the union address. said economic recovery and unity between members means europe is now ready to move forward all of this leads me to believe. that states. we have an old window of opportunity but it will not stay open for. let us make the most of the moment. to really you know six al-jazeera is paul brennan was

following that speech from paris. this was a relatively upbeat address juncker the president of the european commission he said that europe had had a rather bruising past couple of years but he looked forward with optimism despite the fact that bracks it is on the horizon for example he was visiting a european future with streamline bureaucracy he even spoke about potentially doing away with his own job he thought about the merging of the presidents of the european commission and the european council currently donald tusk job she said potentially europe could just do with one president doing both roles other areas where he spoke about the potential for closer integration included the idea of a european economy and finance minister it would necessarily be a new job it could be a role that was filled by an existing vice president of the european commission and other areas where he spoke about the cooperation that there is has been within

europe and appears to be wanting to move forward is on areas such as migration and security in migration for example and refugees he said that seven hundred twenty thousand people had been granted asylum within the e.u. so far as a result of the most recent refugee crises and that that would continue however he said strengthening the policy towards returning those who are not entitled to asylum would also be a priority for the european union on brics it he had to say that he regretted the decision that the britons had made but he pointed out when he was heckled by the british euro skeptic breakfast supporter nigel faraj he said listen you will probably come to regret it soon too he said that there would be a summit in romania pretty much on the day that britain departs from the european union and the twenty seventh will move forward with new vigor all right still ahead on the program thank you syria's government rebuilds and that the devastated.
