YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Myanmar’s western state of Rakhine was believed to be home to around one million Rohingya people, but since the outbreak of violence, an estimated 389,000 people have fled. Access for reporters and aid workers has been severely restricted and the Burmese government denied a visit of a US deputy Assistant Secretary of State to the region, saying it was off limits.

The BBC's South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt reports from Bangladesh where thousands of Rohingya refugees have arrived from Myanmar.

Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
