Myanmar 'world's fastest-growing refugee emergency' - UN
The World TonightAvailable for over a year
As the UN Secretary General describes the Rohingya crisis as a "human rights nightmare" the 麻豆社 has found that the UN leadership in Myanmar tried to prevent their own officials raising the Rohingya's problems with the Burmese government for several years before the current crisis. We also hear from the US agency FEMA on concerns that it has been too slow to come to the aid of Puerto Ricans after the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Maria. Also: could the 31 year-old new leader of Italy's 5-Star Movement become the country's next prime minister? And we talk to the owner of a Scottish bookshop who gets holidaymakers to manage it.
