Theresa May says the Rohingya refugee crisis "looks like ethnic cleansing" during Lord Mayor's Banquet speech

<<CLEAN: Interior shots of Theresa May speaking on the Rohingya refugee crisis during her speech at the Lord Mayor's Banquet: "And I am committed to deepening our partnerships with countries across Asia, where I believe that Britain?s global offer can have a hugely beneficial impact in ensuring that the region's potential is fully realised. That includes tackling the problems in the region today - such as North Korea, where we have played a leading role in securing sanctions in response to the regime's outrageous proliferation of nuclear weapons. And it includes continuing to step up our efforts to respond to the desperate plight of Rohingyas - brought home to us again on our TV screens so graphically today, with heart-breaking images of young children emaciated and pleading for help. This is a major humanitarian crisis which looks like ethnic cleansing. And it is something for which the Burmese authorities, and especially the military, must take full responsibility. The UK is already the largest donor in response to this crisis. And we will continue to play a leading role in bringing the international community together, working through the UN and with regional partners to do everything possible to stop this appalling and inhuman destruction of the Rohingya people. And beyond the immediate challenges of today, we must also invest now in longer-term security partnerships in Asia, such as those which I have launched with Japan and India over the last year; and which we will look to develop further with countries across the region".>> on November 13, 2017 in London, England.
