Australia Edges Closer To Cambodia Refugee Transfer Deal

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - AUGUST 13: A young Cambodian woman holds a baby as she sits in her family's hut in one of the evicted communities on the outskirts of Phnom Penh on August 13, 2014 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After months of negotiations Australia and Cambodia look set to agree on a deal which will see 1000 refugees transferred from Australia to Cambodia. The discussions have been met with intense opposition as people fear the deal could overwhelm Cambodia's refugee infrastructure. In return for almost emptying Australia's Nauru Island detention center, it has been reported that Australia will pay the Cambodian government $40 million. (Photo by Omar Havana/Getty Images)
