6:10 pm
the talk of a second summit meeting between donald trump of the united states and also a visit by kim jong un to south korea the issue of human rights should not be left out should not be put to one side. he says that with all the positive developments they want just witnessed in the past few years the sort of more regrettable that the reality for human rights on the ground remains unchanged and continues to be extremely serious of those who lived in the north recently that i interviewed you and this mission. gave accounts of ordinary people being subject to this look at the labor and serious human rights violations such to such as forced evictions in the name of the development story swerved close to me of people including children been subject to long hours of forced labor where they were forced to work without
6:11 pm
remuneration this visit also comes on the back of what see it as a north korea's diplomatic success with kim jong un's visit to beijing being hosted by president xi jinping of china. the promise from she for a reciprocal visit to north korea this is a timely reminder according to north korea's critics of the brutal reality of everyday life there and that this is still very much a repressive regime they say responsible as documented by the united nations for prison camps where more than one hundred thousand political prisoners being held and west starvation torture and executions they say are commonplace british m.p.'s are expected to debate the migration in the rights of british and the citizens of the brics it on friday in the lead up to the crucial deal that next week the government has already indicated it wants to reduce european immigration by eighty
6:12 pm
percent when it leaves the early reports now from london. remember this it was one of the reasons leave one in the backseat referendum take back all the money the u.k. gives to the european union and spend it on the british health service instead it proved a very powerful message but how to square that with alice sandra's story by the time he'd left italy for london he had a master's degree and four years specialist experience in mental health this is starting salary in britain was around twenty five thousand dollars a year under the government's proposals he would never have been allowed into the u.k. because that salary would be too low for him to get a work permit to brick says i know who is going to pay for the visa for working visa in the future for obviously a lot of people that. don't apply. mainlining in this in your thirty nine on the net or for you. they they will sign up before for example in the

6:14 pm
labor and is taking away jobs from british people but at the same time the government congratulates hisself. having wrecked hold low unemployment's it does rather raise the question if the government does what it says it wants to and reduce european immigration by eighty percent and who exactly is going to do all the work there is an argument in cabinet between people who really care far more about restricting immigration than about the u.k. economy led by the prime minister and the rest of the cabinet and of course the business community who want to make preserving the interest of the u.k. economy a priority and that hasn't been resolved like having argued that the u.k. was at breaking points because of uncontrolled immigration politicians are now presented with a chance of reducing the single asleep if that happens the country will find out what the migrants are such a problem to rule lawrence li al jazeera london. isn't most it says it's filed a criminal complaint against former chairman colace for breach of trust and is

6:17 pm
tightening our actions removing any kind of communication from inside the prisons isolating and transferring some of the prisoners to other states the two main drug gangs are the cell paolo based first capital command or p.c.c. and the rio based red command their fight for supremacy often coordinated and fort within these walls the irony is that these prisons were built to contain the captured drug members instead they've become recruiting and training grounds and even power base is the author it is said that that must end. their initial priority is their fight in the jails however the state is also dealing with the gangs on the streets while implementing social programs to try to lure youngsters away from the lucrative but deadly trade so what's going to be stark criminal groups born inside the prisons so for decades we didn't have a proper policy to debate or improve depended to ensure a system that was never prioritized not only here but in the whole of brazil so
6:18 pm

whole you might call it a gets blamed for the actions of the few now. to. try to. use the. gangs of young sides are threatening a violent confrontation at tonight's the system. police arrived to reclaim the streets but it was too light and they were outnumbered. because. the focus on african gang crime began in march twenty sixth jane when violence broke out at the moon the festival at federation square in the center of melbourne i. had to gird service of african young people coming together in
6:30 pm
melbourne there was a far cry karen became my rolling all they feel like some of that was because the place become involved and we started chasing they just play ball. game or sing cheers plane fly those same people which i stand the straight park place and that crowd all merit even in the media at the top and a lot of political pressure. on me sort of videos those stupid kids they got riled up right the did them stuff and they she should be a it's not right what they did i don't agree with it at all this is a stupid i'd place charged thirty seven people over the moon violence several links to a group known as the apex gang. todd just a bunch of young kids. from a small area largely people from. background although we did have some marys and
6:31 pm
people from other pacific islanders in that group. apex was notorious for home invasions and carjackings in the city southeast police say at its peak the group numbered around one hundred thirty young men. but after an intense crackdown on apex police it's now been dismantled we just don't see them you know we're just not saying. that group. crimes anymore. victoria police are basing further criticism with claims they've lost control to street gangs has my view there is a specific problem in victoria to do with people of african background. i don't see it is as a violent african gang crisis. certainly we have an issue we have an issue with our
6:32 pm
youth in the state but i believe we can timing that issue. everybody welcome to you know tell me who worked with before so i had detective acting inspector child is briefing her team before another night out on patrol so just be careful that you don't get tied up with other job so you are specifically he respond to any higher being they're part of a dedicated task force tackling youth crime in melbourne's west so the way we're task force came about as a result of the evolution of the harm invasion offense and carjacking and breeze that was saying being committed by multiple. people born in sudan. make up zero point one percent of victoria's population but account for one percent of the state's alleged criminal offenders. young sudanese miles
6:33 pm
are overrepresented insertion violent crimes allegedly committing close to ten percent of aggravated robbery in terms of numbers are overall numbers for that hard crime. high impact crime the numbers are quite small when you look at youth crime in particular we have the second lowest crime rate in this trial productivity commission measures victoria now as the most fearful state in the nation why are people feeling so scared if crime is dropping yeah i think that's a really interesting one and certainly you know one of the one of the things that victoria police and the cumi really need to focus on. to people have to base scythe i have to feel saif so there's a lot of perception issues i think that we need to deal with as well.
6:34 pm
wrote a book. nineteen year old a dane came to australia from south sudan with his brother when he was just three. he's not seen his mum or dad since. i had to grow up myself and i had to figure out how to become a memo soft. stuff. you know. and i was supporting the point of. he has a photo of his mom on his phone screensaver and dreams of going to visit her in south sudan. when i was. to the area. of the city.
6:35 pm
and dean's friend arrow has five brothers and sisters he says his mom is worried for him. doesn't even know what to think anymore like i can tell her all the things in the world but she says their home mom well she does believe what the news says. she also knows that us like whoa these kids are out of control she can't even trust me because whatever i say you know channel seven will say otherwise for through the streets so it's like she doesn't know what to say. a demon arrowhead started a music label called sixty six records arrow is one of the managers and dean an aspiring rapper. records with the firsts we think is the first black own label in mobile and in australia. we just want to be the first ones to make you know i
6:36 pm
don't know anyone here on the ferrari here in nova i don't know anyone with a mansion you know why can't there be me. but back. to. the number one. thing. on monday. since the whole apex thing being on the news and i came in get a job and care canada put back you have all the qualifications in the world but if i pull up to the interview no sudanese like we see why is this guy maybe we should you know be more cautious and just you know probably transport. you know people rather than from flynn mistreated and then sit next to me you know i care followed around in this grocery store with my mom like i'm stealing
6:37 pm
groceries you know. in school or trying to tell me i couldn't hang out with a group of more than four people because of the look i would doing something i'm like. so they basically tell america live because i'm black is with the time. the members of sixty six records are acutely aware of how many see them and they play up to that image. already already is what was. in this video they mock the commercial media's coverage of african gangs while they jump around with knobs and rap about committing crimes when they don't you know wish we felt like we. was pretty good in your. mind ceasars here's a little bit of trouble with child minded or dealt with. you know we just knows
6:38 pm
that playing the focus on all my voice they put videos out that are certainly anti establishment anti police and promote violence kill kill was when we. can you understand why the place would look at those lyrics or look at that music and be worried about it the reason we made the video was to profit off this fear basically. partly just we just some young kid being creative like it's like a movie to us you know because i we made our own movie but we're getting crucified for basically i don't know. i don't know what i can say what i can do to make the public believe me when i say i'm not you know i'm not crazy i'm not a criminal what can i save if that's already the position half and you don't want to speak to me or kind of said.
6:39 pm
throughout these tensions have been building police have been under increasing pressure to be seen to act. you know dozens of teenagers may have a park in tieless hill for a planned finds between two teenage girls. last year to. tell us what you know about the truth of what happened at table sale. you know love the nude. picture the video something happened it was i guess so. teenagers being stupid essentially right. we're not going. to. close social media i want to live in areas like that and went to see what happened. miley when i first walked out
6:40 pm
it was the fear a lot more could happen with the kids because i was at many of them. david driskell lives around the corner from the park. i do always criminal acts and then you see on the news in a way that i get away with it what do i get a why the african gangs are here the government cancels and the police say they're not here they are here and people risen and so. i think what we've seen is certainly what elements of what i would call moral panic we're saying headlines and reporting that exacerbates a problem and and report reporting on things that we're not necessarily saying so that causes us some concern certainly when you rode social media and other reporting platforms it's drawing community yanks and you know people are saying
6:41 pm
african crime everywhere which is not necessarily because it's a place helicopter and the riot squad were cold. media reports said one hundred african youths were there that night placed say the number was closer to thirty. can you say then that the place overreacted i mean was it the place presence that actually exacerbated the community's fit it certainly contributed toward there were many residents who lived there in that area who were a fee for for them for their safety that nod and that's the challenge for so we go large numbers of play seem to execute perils in our responsibilities that the balance of forces in you then exacerbate that that feeling of the perception.
