Malaysia repatriates thousands of asylum seekers to Myanmar

Available for 29 days

Three ships from Myanmar's navy are scheduled to leave Malaysia later today carrying the first returnees -- numbering nearly one- and- a- half- thousand. Malaysia says the repatriation is voluntary, but it's barred the UN refugee agency from seeing or screening the returnees. It says some are Muslim Rohingyas. People in Nepal have been trying to recover from the devastating flash floods in August, but the the risk of further disaster is ever present. And five men arrested near a military base in the UK on suspected terrorist charges have been released on bail.
