The United Nations Security Council has held a meeting to discuss the crisis in Myanmar. At issue -- Rohingya refugees being repatriated from Bangladesh back to Myanmar. The UN believes that conditions aren't suitable for their return. But Myanmar officials disagree. William Denselow reports from the UN headquarters in New York.

WILLIAM DENSELOW NEW YORK "United Nations Security Council members have called for the UN's refugee agency to be involved in the repatriation process of an estimated over 688,000 Muslim Rohingya that have fled into Bangladesh since August. Myanmar's representative says the country is willing to work with UNHCR but rejected claims of mass graves or that two Reuters journalists had been detained because of their reporting. China's ambassador Ma Zhaoxu praised cooperation between Bangladesh and Myanmar adding that the crisis in the region, "can't be solved overnight." US ambassador Nikki Haley however slammed the country's government saying the denial Rohingya ethnic cleansing is "preposterous." She said the government was preventing the UN Security Council and other groups from traveling to the region. She has requested that the UN to appoint a special envoy to Myanmar and called for humanitarian aid to be allowed into all parts of the country. The High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grande also warns that tens of thousands of refugees will need to be urgently relocated because of the upcoming monsoon season in March.
