and her key. need to man up. and they can empower. who refused to confess and was eventually released. now he's trapped again the four walls of a cell replaced by social credit stragglers. tinchy sitting and one actually in my hand that i'm eighty one years of beyond god it. and i know the kind of him to go high on. the vision of what the odds are that it wasn't obama jesus and yet i know. what i want to say. as she once they get to think an uncle of the landing that. he found a horse in a seal or you should i think wish them all. and once he had won.

i'm going to a place where the principles of social credits have been taken to brutal extremes the party doesn't want the world to know about its reporting on the situation is risky. to get there we must fly four thousand kilometers from beijing to the western edge of china chin jack nation's largest province and according to some the world's largest open prison. junk is the homeland of the week is turkey people of islamic faith. china's rulers have struggled to control the region and its people for two millenia . surveillance technology is the new weapon in their campaign.

all systems. or not into the. second. it was a look at eight o'clock back among sistema little. old. tara here is a we get filmmaker and poet from the she and jang city of cashcard he can talk about the situation there because he managed to escape with his family to the u.s. where they've applied for political asylum. he made the decision to flee last year . called their cats sound out of a look at a saucepan too hot so i spoke about under kim's number so spunk nicky got us there

and we got us to your. mind. so look. on the table a look tonight a lot of color but all sort of an. organ don't like to move on the lumbar and there's only so you could look again you can comment on the other because you know what i don't buy and this will long game but under. business we're going to. conduct. business hours. and pushing to busk star and get bottom up as it was not. to make pointed to it but when you can. turn it into condemned it doesn't give my music business or quality. presentable regard to our pocket i missed out of the bottle caught up. on the can. quite. young quite immersed stinger right wingers ask

for. tarja and he's wife were being scanned by facial recognition software their faces match from all angles to enhance accuracy they were even forced to produce a range of facial expressions. consistent with her. initial look at a particular little sister in law. but a. couple that were developed. long. milimeter nia. here. but in georgia channeled. inside cash it's almost impossible to report independently government officials do their best to conceal any sign of the oppression to hugh describes look closer

and the cracks appear the party approved vision of this city is a facade cashcard historic old town has been demolished and just one section rebuilt as a sort of we get theme park the chinese tourists. you can buy souvenirs try the local cuisine. and even see a shark. but this tension in the year. the locals can't speak with us. armed guards in cameras keep a watchful eye and chinese flags climb the rooftops even the diam of the mosque.

so it's quite difficult to film here we've got about six mind is with this the whole time of it telling us what we can fill the time to sometimes they delayed now material but on top of that we've got about another eight to ten security guards that further restrict our movements what i can tell you from the car is that they're set up at a kind of grid like management system in every hundred meters or so you see a police station and then added with the normal amounts of c.c.t.v. cameras with facial recognition to really have a total control here. what is clearly set there is quite a brutal repressive crackdown going on here and technology is at the center of it. take on social credit is simple and ruthless. citizens here and not given a school instead they're divided into just three categories trustworthy average untrustworthy. if you're han chinese you're damed trustworthy and

granted freedom of movement. but if you we got your average with restrictions imposed on travel and religious practices if you're a weak a mile who breaks those restrictions you'll marked as untrustworthy and detained in what the party calls education and training centers. talky how much has another name for them. sure it was like much of their night at target. but a. lot of an art of. conduct. i don't think you. should at once year term machine. and i think and the butcher was like a little band. not on the. can. you can walk

we took it out on our. in august this year the u.n. announced it did seem credible reports there over a million we get a currently held without charging camp since she jan purely because of their ethnicity the chinese government rejects the claim insisting it's only detains convicted terrorists tie his personal experience tells a different story when she junger thirty's discovered he fled to america his brother and two brothers in law disappeared. which meant going to mass were. going to die. long just think what. a lot of smiles we're going to miss because.

they can distil. us up. on all of them some of them in their. back in cianci journalist leo who worries for his family to his blacklisting on social credit has cast a shadow on those closest to hear. shots yan who. is an old journalist calling. you it's us or them watching it's a walk and meeting with them you came in. with your little devices they're little at you. in a chainsaw years and years and years and it's all going to. continue. so contingencies will centers on these and you don't. like to are

here who is risking the welfare of his friends and family to alert the world to china's experiment in high tech social engineering he says people don't fully comprehend what's to come a digital totalitarian state where algorithms decide your fate and nothing can be questioned due to torture. but our. chances of a transfer want to be sure. treasure. hunt on campus remarks on question. on your shoulder should the.

song without the. pads and given to show how it's in transit my. home on my lawn. down there you are trying. to draw my mind about how. now as you heard general washington can help. you get out that. china has a serious shortage of women and a lot of. one on one east meets those desperately seeking any way they can on al jazeera. it's a daunting climb to one of the holiest sites in bhutan tiger's nest ball astri

seems to defy gravity every piece of the u.s. is expected to complete the pilgrimage to ensure peace and happiness what it became a democracy in two thousand and eight the time put happiness at the center of all political policy inspiring the un to pass a resolution urging other nations to follow betimes example but how do you measure it when the brits unease happiness is what we ensure it's if it is quantifiable but by simply turning its pursuit into policy time has done what no other country has. for many years i kept my pasta secrets. every time farnum to extremism is mentioned it. should i believe that we were superior. although we may want to if they really start a race war. would i have gone. looking in the mirror to confront the
