president has and rouhani announced this latest phase on wednesday but said all these changes were reversible when and if the european countries who signed up to the deal up held their end of the agreement that would include protecting iran's oil exports from u.s. sanctions what they are saying is that they can go back to what they really don't want to and one parent trying to do is to get some more leverage and these are the . 3 models of the u.s. these negotiation and the stock support agree with micron models a way to honor partners lead to somewhere the acting chief of the united nations nuclear watchdog will have to teheran on sunday for talks with the rainy and foreign minister mohammad javad zarif iran has given britain france and germany another 60 days to see if they can do anything to salvage this deal and the head of iran's atomic energy organization has told al-jazeera that after the next phase

iran will have officially abandon all of its technical commitments under the nuclear agreement or such a party al jazeera wrong. well despite this latest move france says it's still committed to getting iran to adhere to the nuclear deal again here's what of the fence minister florence farley and her american counterpart said after they met in paris earlier new prove who. we can only confirm our goal which is to bring iran to fully respect the vienna deal and we will continue to push towards this or diplomatic efforts oriented towards this the president is personally involved in it so it must be. i'm not surprised that iran has announced that it's going to violate the j. c.p.o. a they have been by leading it they were they would have violated the nuclear nonproliferation treaty for many years so it's no surprise that the iranians are going to pursue what the iranians have always intended to pursue the united states

security were prepared last time they came well into the chaos well after protesters had paralyzed the airports and the transportation linking to police completely changed their strategy this time they were here at the airport hours before protesters were due they were here in large numbers and they also instigated stop and searches at young people that they suspected of being protesters and that's basically because the protesters to change their tactics they called on those who are willing to take part of the movement to come to the airport and try to blend in as travelers to told them not to. wear their customary black shirts masks and helmets and even maybe take a luggage and print out fake boarding passes so that they could be seen as legitimate travelers so in response what the police has been doing is searching anyone that the suspected of not being at the airport with a valid reason to be at the airport and they've also set up checkpoints at various

tunnels and highways and train stations that would take people to the airports and conducted searches there anyone they suspect of being a protester they turned away. sudan's former president omar al bashir has been denied bail by a court in the capital khartoum he's facing charges of corruption and illegal use of foreign funds bashir says the $25000000.00 that he received from the saudi crown prince mohammed bin some money weren't used for private purposes sudan is in the process of transitioning to civilian rule following a power sharing deal between protest leaders and the generals who ousted bashir in april it morgan has more now from car too. this is the 4th quarter hearing in the corruption charges against dance former president already bushehr where he's being charged with a list of financial gains corruption and bribery now the former president had previously stated that he wished the whole trial was secretive because he did not

university records how 2nd witness who was an office manager of the president also confirmed that the president gave him money which he then distributed to other people. now the charges that are not being mentioned in this trial are the charges against him for inciting to kill protesters things demonstrations began nationwide in december now the transitional government which has been formed has said that they are going to try to set up an independent judicial system to hold the president took into account for crimes not just committed in the water in the region of darfur but also in the southern regions of blue nile and south kordofan but people in the streets have been protesting and they're saying that the whole trial is a sham and an attempt to divert their attention from the real crimes that has been committed not just by the former president but by his government as well they're saying that throughout the 30 years they have been so many crimes committed so many lives lost and they want to make sure that not just the president but those who were his allies and with telling the government are also held to account and they're saying that if that justice is not delivered in their will consider that the revolution that they started is not yet complete. chad's government is hoping

city airport and with more on that story the listening post is next of i question of china monstrous crime taking place. that. region is now. let's. talk about how you have kept the story of this space possible the story of china's efforts to. hello i'm richard gives birth you're watching a special edition of the listening post it is not clear how many people are currently being held against their will by the state in the chinese province of sindh jack however conservative estimates put the number of ethnic weak years and

other muslim minorities held under some form of detention since 2017 at between one and 1500000 the apparent goal of the authorities to assimilate aggressively the minority wigger population with the much authority han chinese beijing calls this its response to the threat of the quote 3 evils extremism terrorism and separatism the tools at the state's disposal a combination of word of mouth and former based survey alliance and the latest technologies facial recognition voice pattern sequencing d.n.a. profiling along with some good old fashioned propaganda beijing and the media outlets it controls don't call them internment camps or prisons there are centers for re-education or even thought transformation foreign media outlets are mostly locked out of the profits or have seen their sources dry up or disappear getting an accurate informative story out of there is not easy later in this program we'll

look at the effect that we good journalists in the diaspora and internet sleuths outside of china have had in the new. coverage but 1st the listening posts in an auction ravi with a look at the shifting narratives and the occasionally orwellian language in the chinese news media in defense of the state's policies and practices in sin jack. asked travel. international reporting of this story began slowly in 2017 journalists had already heard of surveillance in china's shinji region with body checks facial recognition technology and full monitoring. but there were whispers about other more disturbing developments people were really frightened of speaking out so with rebel to meet through we go for willing to talk to us but were of this not to say were there are rumors of mass detentions of we go

to stories of vast camps and of people vanishing for years the u.n. said they had received credible reports of some 1000000 weak or speak held in internment camps the silence from the chinese state was deafening initially it had nothing to say then came the denials including at the united nations the argument that a 1000000 viewers i detained in range of peace in centers is completely untrue by late 2018 though the journalism had become more detailed 3 years ago the syria was just a patch. today it's a detention center measuring more than half a 1000000 square metres the reporting was much more difficult to refute and it forced a change in beijing's messaging strategy. on oct 16th 2018 the chinese state broadcaster c.c.t.v. aired a 15 minute documentary about what they called vocational training centers in the new. poor. then head

for the. told the story of what the chinese government wanted to communicate about always happening in which was there was radical extremism there was terrorism there was next up for 2. weeks because. the government was fighting this as part of this worldwide battle against terrorism was how they framed it you had a number of pieces in nationalist publications like global times. so all the sudden you see both the chinese language media push not so much acknowledging that there are weaker is who are in detention but kind of trying to spin it basically into something that's a softer more voluntary form of detention and then there was also a cultural aspect which is the idea that they are not you know stifling

we are a culture they are preserving it. you know. originally the young. people are allowed to do ethnic dances make their traditional make their traditional rugs so their narrative has been changing over time based on how international community has been responding reacting so this public misinformation campaign splits started last august and it's happening to this day he took. he advocates and campaigns for legal rights from his base in washington d.c. took aim has been to 16 the chinese official narrative i don't see junkfood here is he and others are lists points to a framework of institutional islamophobia and a sense of superiority amongst the country's ethnic majority the one chinese they

see this underlies the narrative of extremism culturally alienation and the need for this. to keep a lid on a potentially explosive situation jug victor gao is on the other side of this debate he's a media commentator who frequently takes issue with western media coverage for under bombings by separatists through the ninety's and early 2000 as well as the riots capital in 2009 when you reported. you need to report about the threat which does exist. i think the chinese government has all along been consistent in expressing that there are concentration camps there are facilities and these facilities are mostly meant for education and training purposes. may or may far shipping jobs. and the western reports are fake news and

misleading these are places where adults wear uniforms. but where they don't go home at the end of the day. but sleep up to 10 a roof top. of the world the people in the world with fake news they call it the 3 forces of terrorism separatism and extremism. so they use that as kind of the face of what had happened before the security forces moved in 2014 and made everything much safer there was an hour long c.c.t.v. documentary that was aired this past march and they go into 2009 a room she writes some of the bus bombings that happened in the ninety's the interview the victims of those bombings they show the burned out buses dead bodies

you know in the wreckage of a russian t.v. . and they keep kind of playing this footage over and over and using that to justify this thousands of terrorist attacks number which we don't have any specific reference for the chinese government has been very effective it's in in its misinformation campaign it is still ongoing as we speak she didn't because government has shown 0 tolerance for political dissent it would be difficult for anyone to come out and express sympathy for any issue as sensitive as that we should for the past 3 years john has been administered by hardline officials who have intensified the campaign of propaganda imprisonments and so called deed radicalization this is come in the midst of one of the most stringent phases of national government under the leadership of xi jinping we did question

both the digital and national government for interviews we got no response. the latest numbers compiled by human rights campaigners showed that 58 journalists have been locked up in. it isn't just we good media professionals though. is a hunch chinese photographer he was picked up in a room ci in november last year there's been no sign of him since numerous chinese journalists editors even academics have been swept up even when their work didn't actually take issue with chinese policies. journalists are faced with dangers everywhere in the world many journalists are killed and if you report about the pressures faced with journalists. trying to be objective i don't think journalists or international are faced with any other or more dangerous pressures compared with the other countries in the world one of the most dramatic examples is

iran tarty who's a professor from beijing who had a website publishing content every year and in chinese and essentially trying to bridge that gap to try to have actual real harmonious relations between the ethnicities and he was detained and sentenced to life in prison. is a major story that is not exactly breaking news the camps were established 5 years ago in 2014 but over the past 3 years they've grown larger taking in hundreds of thousands more readers and they've become more secretive. funny journalists have finally forced the chinese authorities to acknowledge the existence of the camps which is a stunt just about everything else about the story the people held there the truth of what's happening to them and the flow of information is under control. while the chinese media continue to take their orders from beijing on this story

one outlet has been vital to international coverage of sin jang radio free asia as we go service is funded by the us government and it has a track record of breaking news on sin jack it was among the 1st to present facts and figures to back up the rumors of the so-called vocational training camps and it has sense on earth dozens of stories on the crackdown informing foreign reporters and the we alike for our f.a. wigger staff the sin jang story hits on comfortably and dangerously close to home many say they have had family members arrested. is the director of radio free asia as weaker service he joins us now from washington mr say tough thanks for joining us the listening post today ever since day one on this story our f a weaker has led the pack breaking news on sin jang how did your organization 1st learn of this policy and the existence of these huge detention camps. in early twenty's

17 we began to realize after interviewing chinese officials we go official as police officers and local residents that large numbers of we have begun to disappear than through our investigation by speaking to chinese officials we were able to confirm that in cost our prefecture alone more than $120000.00 a week or as have been arbitrarily and ag traditionally detained in this camps than we began to pay attention to other areas as well in the what down prefecture for example just in one conti nearly 40 percent of the male adult population were taken to this camps gradually we realised the chinese government were detaining large scale numbers of we girls and other ethnic indigenous population and building this camps throughout the region covering this story from such a distance cannot be easy what can you tell us about the methods you rely upon for

your journalist where i have an office and china or we don't have stringers there. we did have sources that we used to call and our math that is primarily based upon the calling and targeted areas regions police stations mosques streets etc sometimes it takes a few days and we can verify certain things that have happened certain detentions 13 and bathos in detentions so that's usually the math that we use. for many of your colleagues your reporters this story is personal given that so many of them still have family living in the region what kind of personal blowback have they been facing china radio free asia practically as an enemy station and in particular though we are service because we are service is one and only independent weaker media. in the world so china's government targets were reporters. chinese

government has detaining. parents loved ones and family members of almost all of our staff members 6 of them when public about the detentions and the others have been low key chinese government frequently pressure and the threaten their loved ones there telling them that they should convey the masses to the rebbe our reporters basically to quit their job or and provide information to the chinese government but this pressure on strauss's do not distract from our work important work we are doing and actually that is. the reason that we're doing more ever since day one since you launched in 1996 beijing has seen r.f.a. as a threat what do you say to your critics who see your reliance on u.s. tax dollars for funding as having

a compromising effect on your organization and the journalism it produces yes we do receive u.s. tax dollar u.s. funding but we are an independent and nonprofit radio station and we make our own editorial decisions independent of u.s. government or other agencies so we're not directly affiliated with the u.s. government or its own agency is we're completely independent our operation but that doesn't prevent the chinese government or other authoritarian governments in asia to label laws. as an arm of the u.s. government or even cia but that's not the fact say tof thanks very much for speaking with us today my great pleasure. the chinese news media refused to cover the sin jang story until the reporting produced by international news outlets grew too compelling to ignore the aerial shots of specific camps the documents proving their ultimate purpose that material was 1st broadcast on radio and television

networks outside of china but much of it was handed to those journalists on a plate by a handful of independent researchers practicing open source journalism relying on online tools ranging from search engines to satellite imagery those researchers have played a critical part in the reporting process and beijing is on to them it's now doing a better job of covering its tracks online burying the evidence of its operations in sin jack the listening posts daniel tory now on to open source investigators and the role they have played in helping foreign journalists and the rest of the world understand the reality of sin jang camps. in the most heavily surveilled probably one of the most surveilled countries on earth. most every movement is monitored whether you are a local or a journalist on assignment. the 1st thing you notice an extreme level of police

presence on every intersection on every block there is often a multi-story police building there are security checks everywhere and if you know that there are also surveillance cameras on every street corner get it out with facial recognition technology and then you very quickly get a feel the sense of being watched wherever you are. according to a report by the foreign correspondents club of china 9 in every 10 foreign journalists who travel to last year spoke of interference from the north or a tease some with detained by police others forced to delete data on their phones and other devices. most all reporters 96 percent. say they were visibly followed. but then there were the far graver dangers that face local sources. last year journalist james palmer formerly based in china spoke about his personal experience

trying to cover. all of my weaker sources of. cash i can't talk to people because. i cannot reach them when we look at the lists of reasons they've been given for people to be sent to concentration camps having had contact with foreigners is the single most dominant reason. i have certainty of one of my sources being sent to a comp with the others i don't know whether they. just cut off contact for their own safety or whether they're actually imprisoned i stopped trying to reach weaker sources in the middle of last year because the risk to them was much greater than any possible benefit of talking to them. china says there

is no such thing as reeducation camps. a growing body of evidence suggests otherwise despite the straight jacket imposed on reporters inside. coverage of the camps has surged over the past year. now i can't find it really want. to. cross. much of that recent reporting is the result of investigations done from a distance by researches using a method known as open source. open source is shorthand for the tools and dates are available to virtually anyone with an internet connection a nose for forensic research and in the case of this story the ability to read mandarin open source journalism is not limited by geography and respects no borders which is why i've come here to stuttgart in southwest germany to speak to a researcher who's been investigating the camps almost 6000 kilometers away in sion

john. so you are one of the 1st researchers to use open source methods to investigate these counts in changing what made you think that you would succeed using these tools where conventional journalists had failed the big advantage of this open source research is that you can uncover documents that speak of systematic policy where the government itself says we are doing this and every local government under us is also supposed to be doing to us and often times i was able to find this kind of document. was this particular dog so this was the main suppose that early got from the asian for reeducation so when the chinese say we have a step the extremist cation sent us based on the law this is the document to refer to. another document that i found talks about the goals of transformation through education and even very blatantly says that transformation through education and

chinese joey trying to cleanse a step brain from evil thoughts from the thoughts of religion that's a piece of evidence that speaks as much or more than $100.00 newspaper articles because it basically proves that this is a systematic policy. the document that sends uncovered evidence of state policy but proving the camps had actually been built enough of them to hold hundreds of thousands of people required another open source tools satellite imagery. that's where sean jang a chinese student based in vancouver came into the picture. was ok yeah. i started my research last year when i heard reports that around 10 percent of the way given xing jiang had been detained or disappeared i used a few keywords to search online and found lots of information such as government

tendinitis for accounts to be built these documents contain the addresses of nearly $100.00 counts so i searched on google earth and found the satellite images they looked very different from civilian facilities for example there were barbed wire fences there watchtowers structures that you'd expect in prisons i found more and more information and so i published it on my blog. from a researcher and. construction. psychological. trying to take you to the camps a lot of mainstream media's coverage has built upon adrian or from work you see in the a.b.s. using government documents and hiring information. show the extent to which the security state has grown and changed. and sean has used satellite imagery to show the camps being built almost in real time the financial times we've also used

satellite imagery to look at the location and size of the canvas we've also used research by interns and on the contracts that governments are using to buy new materials for the camps and i think the really important thing about these kinds of research collaboration's is that because the data is open the journalist can also check what the research is looking at and if needed you know challenge whether the data they're seeing is representative of the region or how the data is chosen. communist party officials not usually known for their transparency gave open source research is a helping hand by leaving the evidence in plain sight now beijing is in damage limitation mode trying to delete documents before investigators in stuttgart bank and elsewhere in repose. and online game of cat and mouse over one of the world's biggest stories. this year by knowing that i post my findings on my blog and i

include the links to the original documents but those links started showing up as invalid within a couple of weeks or even within a few days of me posting them i could see the chinese government was reading my blog and deleting the original sources the set of documents that disappeared basically describe the details of the camps the security features barbed wire watched us how big they are and what they cost a lot of that disappeared and so on we were a few versions starting to archive websites and spent almost entire days archiving hundreds of links but i think in some sense they put it too late we already had the information. by staying one step ahead of beijing open. source research is on earth evidence about the camps that journalists on the ground and she could not. but going up against a superpower magnifying scrutiny of an already notorious human rights record comes

with consequences. all the more so in this case if you are chinese citizen. really and since i started my research i felt a lot of pressure from the chinese government for example they've contacted my family in china so in the near future i think i will avoid going back home that this might all this i think doing this work is worth it because there are so many weak of people detained they've lost contact with their family at least my research can raise awareness of this problem and help pressure the chinese government into finding a peaceful solution. without the reporting that's taken place outside of the country chinese officials would have very little to answer for on the send jang story as we heard from a lean say of r f a whig or beijing is now saying that the vast majority of the wiggers interned have since been freed their thoughts transformed however no
