of again i'm. reminded of the news this hour newly released testimony by the former u.s. secretary of state he was kept in the dog over some key areas of foreign policy rex tillerson accused white house adviser of operating independently and outside of the state department. donald trump has been meeting with g 20 host ahead of the formal start of the summit in japan just before departing for raised questions about the u.s. japan security alliance suggesting it's a one sided. and officials are still trying to find out just who is responsible for 2 suicide bomb attacks in the capital a police officer was killed and several others injured in 2 blasts within half an hour of each other.

now it's day 2 and round 2 of the democratic presidential debates 10 more contenders for the party's nomination are about to face off on u.s. television this field includes current frontrunner former vice president joe biden along with senators bernie sanders and camelot harris the big issues as with the 1st debate are expected to be health care immigration and foreign policy but our correspondent joins us live now from miami where the debates are being held and he 3 of the front runners are about to take each other on are we expecting it to be a little more feisty than last night. i think that is the expectation a farmer robust debate tonight not simply because of the makeup of how they've done this on wednesday night we had elizabeth warren who is perhaps the most well known to the american public candidate tonight we have 3 potentially 4 people all well known at the top of that pile former vice president joe biden who has a fairly commanding lead at this very early stage standing right next to him will

be bernie sanders the senator from vermont who is very much seen as a progressive far left candidate and we've got camilla harris the prosecutor from california who made a name for herself in congressional hearing so there is very much potentially a target on joe biden's back tonight him and bernie sanders apparently are good friends but this might be where they both try to differentiate themselves from one another because they think very differently about the direction of this country's future niemi see is some infighting among those 2 and kemal harris and potentially pete but a church from indiana the small town mayor who's perhaps the only millennial on station and he may use that generational gap to his advantage but what all these candidates have to do tonight is trying create memorable moments because remember this 10 of them they have 2 hours they have woman it to answer questions 30 seconds for rebuttals so they will have watched last night's debate and castro for instance made a fairly big splash with an emotional response that picture of the dead father and

his daughter on the rio grande but i think all eyes will be on bernie and biden tonight because joe biden in particular has a fairly commanding lead at this point he's managed to sustain that despite some missteps over the past few days but i think sparks may flights a night it may be a much more exciting debate than we saw on wednesday and i know there are now the 2 nights of debate at the end of july just how important obvious debates especially given such a crowd and failed. well for a lot of these candidates and aren't well known to the american public it's given them a chance to introduce themselves and all of the candidates last night start telling their own personal stories about how they grew up and where they grew up and what kind of struggles they went through not much talk about policy from them it's a very difficult task if you're not coming into these debates with some kind of commanding lead or name recognition trying to get yourself put your head above the parapet is very very difficult there are 6 other candidates on the station one of

them is a business entrepreneur another one is a oprah winfrey type life coach guru that nobody's really heard of it's going to be a big struggle for those candidates because i think all people's eyes will be on people like bernie sanders and joe biden and kemal harris and potentially pete from indiana so it will be an interesting debate tonight these candidates as the months go forward will have to meet tighter restrictions to qualify for the debates going forward many of them will drop off as those weeks go by if they don't meet those minimum requirements and a lot of democratic voters i've spoken to on so happy that there are so many candidates at this moment they're finding it confusing they want to be whittled down a bit to the more serious candidates who potentially and this may be very vital in a 2020 election have the personality and have the ability and experience to take on someone like donald trump so this may be as much about policy is it is about personality and they've got to her be keeping an eye on those potential feyerick

for us in miami thank you. now hundreds of iraqis of storms the bahraini embassy in central baghdad in anger over the u.s. sponsored manami conference on peace in the middle east bahrain has recall that some bastard to iraq to demonstrate has broken and took down the flag replacing it with one of their own police used live rounds to break the alan long standoff that no one was injured a 50000000000 dollar economic plan was unveiled by white house advisor jad kushner in bahrain this week on how much on jane has more from the iraqi capital. hundreds of angry demonstrators were outside the bahamian embassy in baghdad they were there to protest the u.s. sponsored conference in bahrain it was reported also that demonstrators breached the embassy compound that they were able to get up on the roof to take down the bahrain the flag and also it was reported that they burned israeli flags and u.s.

flags while they were holding that demonstration and it was reported as well that the security guards on the scene guarding the embassy retreated when they saw that wall of angry protesters appear this is all happening at a time when many around the party's political parties and politicians have been highly critical of that a conference when many politicians here have said that this conference is something that is gone beyond saying that it's not going to help the palestinians these are awfully politicians that this is actually going to be a hindrance to palestinians being able to establish a palestinian state going forward so not really a surprise that this would happen at a time of such heated rhetoric the big question now will there be more protests in the days to come. happening now at the g. 20 summit in osaka japan u.s. president donald trump is meeting with japanese prime minister shinzo and india's

prime minister narendra modi while before he left japan trump gave an interview in which he bashed the hosts complaining that while the u.s. is obliged under a treaty to defend japan tokyo is not required to do the same he said quote if we're attacked japan doesn't have to help us at all they can watch it on a sony television so it's slightly or could meeting set to happen there while japan along with china is also locked in a trade dispute with the u.s. and tell your washington are engaged in difficult talks as trumps administration seeks to lower the u.s. trade deficit and also before he touched down he also had a very public message for india's there and he complained that india had recently increased its tariffs against the united states and he tweeted saying this is unacceptable and the tariffs must be withdrawn india had stopped. on a number of u.s. products after the united states withdrew tariff free entry for certain indian goods there are a number of different meetings set for president trump today and later on he will

saying as candy to talk about lots of places on nice days there as the leaders of japan the u.s. and india sit down for a trilateral on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit we'll be bringing you all the latest from my stalker over the course of the next tuesday. well wildfires are burning across nearly $4000.00 hectares of northeast and spain and there are fears that it could get much west the country is baking into temperatures of up to $43.00 degrees celsius and france italy and germany are also in the grips of a major heat wave but. these are already among the worst fires in spain's catalonia region for 20 years and the heat wave has only just begun firefighters are warning the burning area could get 5 times as big doing what they can to douse the flames. but for these animals it was too late they died

trapped inside the bar and it's clearly upsetting for the farmer. distance provide safety but it's an anxious wait to find out if houses have gone up in flames. in the afternoon when we came back we saw black smoke here and when we wanted to go back home the road was cut off so we couldn't our ranch is right there and there was a lot of smoke so we came here next to flash castle to see where the fire was going and if our ranch was going to burn. away from the flames the heat is more nuisance than danger in madrid a little cooler 39 celsius people try to stay hydrated stay protected just took it easy for some tourists for more northerly climbs that's what they came for sticky sun cream drink lots of water but it's perfect it's very harsh it's very hot born here you know trying to get some time. for vulnerable people the heat can still be

dangerous in france the health ministry has issued a heat wave plan for elderly care homes they don't want a repeat of 2003 as hot weather when 15000 mostly old people died. i put a small wet cloth around my neck and there isn't much more i can do i don't move around but it's our way we don't move too much we just have to wait for it to be over there is no other solution. but forecasters suggest it won't get cooler till early next week. we'll reach islands or jazeera. with a reminder of the headlines this hour newly released testimony by the former u.s. secretary of state shows he was kept in the dark over foreign policy rex tillerson

testified in front of the house foreign affairs committee last month and he accused white house adviser jared kushner of operating independently and outside of the state department. well donald trump has been meeting with g 20 host sins of a head of the formal start of the summit in japan the pair of been joined in a trial that 2 meeting with india's leader modi and just before departing for a soccer trump raised questions about the u.s. japan security alliance suggesting it's one sided one person has died after twin suicide attacks targeted security forces and tunas into museums capital tunis one bomber targeted a police vehicle near the french embassy in central tunis the other hit the counter-terrorism headquarters government has called for calm but the attackers have not yet been identified and hundreds of iraqis have stormed the bahraini embassy in central baghdad and anger over the u.s.

a rerun well those are the headlines join me here for more news after inside story stay with us. why are eritreans in exile being silenced activists and critics to escape the oppression absalom find they're not safe abroad either who is threatening them for speaking out this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program. that eritrea is often described as one of the most repressive countries and africa people's rights are severely restricted and opponents of the president say as a flaherty are locked up in jail even eritreans in exile apparently not safe amnesty international is accusing the government of harassing and threatening activists living in europe and elsewhere in africa eritrea is a member of the un's human rights council which is meeting in geneva this week one eritrean in exile in kenya described her experience to al-jazeera a small car where. we used. to be a people of all the high minot says she's never enjoyed the freedom she fought for she was 17 when she joined eritrea's rebellion and fought for independence from ethiopia she's seen here in one of the rebels' mountain hideout in the 1980 s. independence came in 1901 but she says freedom did not if they want to kill you

they can kill you all to want to calais. she owned a factory but she didn't join the governing party or contribute to its funding she says she's been harassed ever since including here in kenya's capital nairobi where she lives in exile she says eritrea is ambassador to kenya of terrorism and had her arrested by local police. isn't it right he took he saw was like 56 names. he had got the same answers things he tried to deport us. rights activists say that the kind of harassment that a bieber says she's experienced here in nairobi is just the tip of the iceberg and that eritrean critics of eritrea's government you are living in exile all around the world i routinely harassed intimidated and even beaten by government supporters

so the reporters rights group amnesty international says it's documented cases of harassment and intimidation of eritrean human rights activists over the last 8 years has published a report and its research is say those in kenya the u.k. sweden and some other european countries a most risk yet their government he's gamed of exporting their repression from from its territory to another country and it doesn't look good. on your moderate record and it doesn't look good to the recovery of the countries where it is repression is happening the report document seemingly coordinated threatening tweets from staff at eritrea's embassies. its ambassador in kenya didn't agree to give us an interview. bieber says the harassment has made her more critical most of her activist colleagues here in nairobi were too scared to speak to us. she's campaigned for 4 of her friends from her days as

a rebel who were students arrested in eritrea she doesn't know if they're still imprisoned or dead the same fate she says awaits her if she ever goes home malcolm webb al-jazeera nairobi kenya. all the situation in eritrea is old sue bleak rights groups say the one party state doesn't tolerate dissent and researchers believe there are more than 360 prisons in the country compulsory national service in the military is indefinite and activists say conscripts are being used as forced labor there is no private media and only 2 percent of the $5000000.00 population can access the internet reporters without borders says press freedom in eritrea is only slightly better than north korea and with an estimated 4000 people leaving the country every month eritrea is one of the largest sources of african refugees in europe thank you.

we can now bring in our guests and in london we have salaam kids on that she's the director of release eritrea that's a human rights organization in addas ababa on skype our africa analyst and senior lecturer at kiel university and also in london martin plaut klout a senior research fellow at the university of london and he's also the author of understanding eritrea inside africa most repressive state welcome to all of you thank you very much for being here on the program. the one thing that many people know about harry tre is that very little is known about that country and what goes on inside that country so that's something i do want to explore as this program unfolds but before that i'd like to talk about this whole idea of dissenters not only in the eritrea but also those outside the country coming under the reach of the regime which is very alarming and so i'm don i want to start with you and you've worked closely with refugees many of them who who've left the country and

have been able to tell you about what's happening in there but i'd also like to know what you're hearing about their experiences when they speak out against the government and how they're affected by it. oh yeah actually it's only people that have left the country that are actually able to speak about what's been happening to them so it's not surprising that the regime is actually trying to clamp down on their own people who have already left and are trying to to speak about the realities of what they have left and what the kinds of things that people tell are really extreme religious persecution where people are actually banned from praying together if they're not members of government sanctioned churches people who are incarcerated for not returning to their national service posts even for a couple of days. people who are accused of thinking about leaving the

country people who are accused of sympathizing with the opposition forces outside the country so people are being attacked for all sorts of things was there in the country outside the country when they come up people are threatened by actions being taken you know don't you fear for your family back home is a common a common threat another one is that you know the hunt of their volition which is hundreds the government is a lone gunman will catch up with you anywhere you are so the entire eritrean s'pore a cunt be kind of times be grouped by by fear of what the government might be able to do martin glad it's not just eritreans abroad who are facing harassment from the hands of the government salaamed put it you 2 have come under attack for you for speaking out can you tell us about your experience. well it's happened a couple of times i mean when we've had arranged talks in london they have been

attempts to break up the talks at universities some of the times physical mostly just yelling and shouting and trying to make it impossible to talk but a more serious one happened late last year where somebody tried to suggest to me that they should would like to meet me in the you know i'm a journalist and author so i'm always keen to meet people and they asked me can i go and meet somewhere and so i said yes we'll meet at a public space at the british library in fact and when i got there they then said well look would you mind coming outside because i'm with somebody he's frightened of being on camera and this kind of thing with there might be cameras in the british library so i said sure and i met him in a little open space a cafe are just outside. and got me a coffee i set down and then he went behind a low bush picks up a box full of liquid i didn't know what it was throws it over me while he's

filming me at the same time on his camera and the 2 other eritreans doing exactly the same and yells at me that i'm a traitor to the government that i'm a functionary of the cia that i'm abusing his country and that i'm all this that i deserve to be dispatched in appropriate manner all this kind of thing anyway i just backed away and left it and the man was arrested and finally prosecuted and went we went to court and he was found guilty and fined for what he had done now of course i was really worried about what had been thrown at me because of course it came a few months after the attack in salzburg in britain where people were liquid was put on people and they were they died as a result that was a russian operation but this one was done by eritreans air tran sympathetic to the regime and so it was a worrying event but i mean of course it's not. i think compared to the repression that is faced by people inside eritrea which is much much much more severe i will

alow martin platt continued this continuing to speak out about what's happening in eritrea but what has this kind of intimidation done or what kind of an impact has it had on others activists eritrean activists are just general people who managed to leave eritrea from speaking out to the government has it had an impact on them and i think it is important to kind of put this into into context because eritrea is an authoritarian states the government there clearly rejects the idea of democracy as a defining form of governing population and most thought or italian government tried on silencing voices that are opposed to them and indeed one of the most defining feature of rhetoric and system is basically harassing intimidating and bullying all opposition forces particularly human rights defenders so several

countries in africa. libya sudan egypt ethiopia in the past to use this system and in fact some of them went as far as using highly sophisticated technologies produced by european companies by israeli companies to conduct source get the surveillance against frontline but i defend this so this is a general pattern across africa i'm sure several other altos and governments use it but there is there has there is particular kind of problem in terms of cyber bullying and people who express their views being attacked by activists. so that's something i want to talk about is the international community based the u.n. human rights council has enlisted eritrea as a member of its council what is the justification for this and how does that make you feel salaam cabana once you hear the stories from the refugees you've been

dealing with it's actually quite disparaging it shouldn't be surprising but it is it shouldn't be surprising. given the the the other countries on that list of members as well but as an eritrean and knowing intimately what goes on in eritrea it is indeed it's very shocking it's sudden ng it also makes a mockery of the system that is meant to monitor human rights respect for human rights at the highest level globally to be you know for one of the member states overlooking this work to be one of the the the most abject violators so yeah it's surprising it's shocking and it's such a lala i want to bring it down to the basics here very few people know exactly what is going on inside eritrea and if you could sum up for us what what is happening in eritrea what is happening to the average person there i think as you said in the

introduction it is really very difficult to know what is actually going good in everything it is a pretty cold the system there is very little access to the media busy media is controlled by the government there is no independent media we know that people leave everything in huge numbers national service is a huge problem. you know government does not tolerate opposing voices those who are poles are the significant risk to their senses so the masses i think widespread human rights violations are very well known they are very well documented. it's very difficult actually to get a sense of what is actually happening in the region we see the reports from time to time documenting why is byelection so human rights but beyond that we haven't really seen very clear evidence of the nature of abuse as well isha it's

that happened there i just want to say one quick make what we have to point on the human rights council and its membership but i concept i think it's important to realize that the united nations generally and its values human rights systems are more really there primarily to protect individuals and particularly individuals in these authoritarian nations they are part of a broader set of compromise among various states where these nations if you look at them pl countries that have been on the membership of the council they are some of the worst abusers of human rights so it is a given the take between the various states that takes place in terms of the process of electing countries i don't think we should put too much emphasis on who is on the human rights council and who is not much in plaid on that note firstly can you shed any more light on what is happening in eritrea particularly to the

common common person and to the whole idea of this un human rights council not necessarily protecting the wider population instead is more about the government's . well i mean that's absolutely right and i mean the only thing i would say about it is that the u.n. has appointed a special report on human rights in eritrea and she and her predecessor have repeatedly attempted to negotiate to talk to the eritrean government and to visit the country and she's been consistently blocked from doing so so this absolutely no interest from the from the government in in participating in that a dialogue the other thing one mustn't forget is that the air tran's are now in charge of what's known as the khartoum process that is the relationship between the european union and africa all the major african nations particularly bordering on the mediterranean are part of that system and they supposed to control the flow of refugees and migrants from africa and eritrea is in control of that now that is

something sanctioned by the european union which is really disgusting when you come to you i ask about the impact on ordinary people one of the most shocking things about the eritrean government is their lack of concern about the hardship that people undergo there has been very little development in eritrea since independence which is tragic because air tran's are some of the most hardworking and ingenious people i've ever come across and they would certainly like to develop but the government basically says we don't need aid we don't need any assistance we can stand on our own 2 feet which in itself is quite laudable but the fact is at the end of the day they don't even encourage investment from other eritreans in the diaspora who would love to invest if there was a secure busy plan to do it in so the result is that people are very poor they are shortages of things like electricity of water all these kind of things is poor

services that people have to rely on and that is the cost that ordinary people are having as a result of this regime. i will add one of the few facts that has kept come out and i don't know how accurate it is is that less than 2 percent of the population pay tax so how is the government surviving who is propping them up i mean martin just told us a bit about the fact that they're rejecting not only european aid but they're also rejecting money from eritreans abroad so how does that country functioning i think the regions abroad are still pay a 2 percent tax on their income this is comparably for every tense we will go to if they want to go back to their country if they want to secure for example a passport for their children that have to evidence that they have been paying that tax i do not know how many are essentially we're told and how much remittance there exist in this form from those taxes. bad you know the fact that

we have not made significant progress in terms of economic development means that there's not really much happening in terms of the government providing the basic infrastructure is the basic necessities for for the population but you know i also want to note that i think regions are very hardworking people i think very intelligent people they have money to find a way of providing for some basic necessities actually if you compare some of the countries thank you old. in eritrea with some other countries where it is doing well where do they get the money to do that i don't know there are certain countries in the middle east what sample that have relationship with eritrea but i don't know if those countries that are supporting your experience in terms of financial and other budgetary support. so i'm going to i want one of the things that i think many would find baffling is this whole idea of military conscription

and the fact that it is indefinite as. many people i understand or many of the refugees who have left eritrea have used that as a reason or are saying you know it's bonded labor basically what are you hearing about and what do you face when you are in the military. i mean in fact it's it's inside in slave mental funny entire generation because if you think about it the last year of high school education is actually only given the military training center this our military training center which is the age of 16 own 17 or young people have to go there from the entire country and from that point onwards at the age of 16 or 17 they're all conscripts basically they're told it's hundreds possibility but they're regimented they have their butts hellions and they have good they're given military training alongside their studies and more importantly

they cannot do that year at home and from that point onwards they are basically soldiers so after that it's endless if they if they're told their past exams then they would go for 4 education education and then be given civilian jobs otherwise more will become. become soldiers going to the army and there is no. there's no end to that there's no. official end to that people leave the country or people just abscond and stay at home so it becomes effectively. indefinite there are people who have been serving since 1994 and there are people who have left after serving 20 years 10 years and now increasingly what we see is young people's children leaving before they they hit that age and because the regime has made it impossible for people to leave with their children because

anybody who has a child or basically if you're a toddler and above then you cannot leave the country without special permission so people are living with their children as soon as they're born or they're waiting for their children to be old enough to cross the borders illegally so the national soul. this has got a hold on the entire sits and sits and marry at the entire generation and yes it is an indefinite bondage of slavery martin it's really hard to fathom what kind of a society is being created and then it's very easy to understand why people want to leave that country sadly and you bet president is saying do you have a clear understanding of what he is trying to build if anything at all. that's a very good question and i'm afraid it's hard to answer you know he is somebody who basically believes that he is eritrea that there is nothing that is not

him that he personifies the entire country and that anybody who steps out of line the top or questions in the thing that he does is basically incorrect and against the whole nation because he is the nation and he's always taken actually inflexible view of his role and that of the struggle i mean in the 30 years they fought against the ethiopians for the independence and it was one of the most heroic struggles africa's ever seen i mean he didn't tolerate any kind of opposition of any kind people were killed. as a as a result and when i met him you know there is something about him he's an intelligent man but he's somebody who you know literally has looks at you as if he has an utter contempt for you and for anything that you might think about or want to say and although he used a lot of people from abroad at various times in to help the struggle for

independence and there i certainly supported the independence of eritrea and you know the continued existence but you know he really he doesn't rate anybody who isn't an absolute supporter of him personally and the few people who are around him given that. to the people you speak to and many of them who freshly left the country have any hope that there will be some kind of regime change or that eritrea will eventually have a democracy. absolutely every eritrean leaves for that day even those that. say they support the regime leave for the day that change will come air tran's such a small country and everybody. is kind of has got this strong sense of identity as an eritrean and that it's the strength of that identity that keeps everybody going the situation is totally unsustainable that there isn't you knew if

people were talking honestly it would be very difficult to find people who supports what's going on beyond the fear factor beyond the sheer cheerleading type support for that for the government if you come to the nitty gritty or the continuation of the nation everybody agrees that there needs to be change and that that's that's what keeps people like me hopefully we will be able to salvage some kind of democracy some kind of justice for our nation and and i'm not unique in thinking that so much more discussion needed and so much so much more to talk about unfortunately we've come to the and diversion to i'd like to thank our guests donna . and martin part of course all of you thank you so much for your time and thank you for speaking to us on this very important and interesting country and thank you
