a general election i want to give the people of canterbury the chance to vote for a conservative because i've got a big program and i want to get on with delivering so from my point here it can't come soon enough. the timing will be crucial an early election might reduce the size of the significant student vote and tactical campaigning might also emerge if there's some kind of alliance be an official alliance or an unofficial alliance i think people might vote for that i think they'll be a lot of conservative voters who are not of the the mindset that says that. new do better than no exit what if the prime minister plows on regardless and ignores parliament is beginning to lose parliament isn't respect to parliamentary sufferance isn't being respected by the government and it's a wholly unprecedented situation it really just throw into question the whole idea of parliamentary democracy in britain it's quite scary to be honest the 2017

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 majority 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 informer based surveillance 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 news coverage but 1st the listening posts i mean actually ravi with a look at the shifting narrative. and the occasionally orwellian language in the chinese news media in defense of the states policies and practices in sin jack. just travel. international reporting of this story began slowly in 2017 journalists had already heard of surveillance in china's shin jammed egypt with body checks facial recognition technology and full monitoring. but there were whispers about other more disturbing developments people were really frightened of speaking with trouble for me too we are willing to talk through it

but were of this not to say world. of mass detentions of stories of vast camps and of people vanishing for years the un said it 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 see then came the denials including at the united nations the argument that the men were worse i didn't mean the range of his'n centers is completely true by late 2018 though the journalism had become more detailed 3 years ago the syria was just a patch to the. it's a detention center measuring more than half a 1000000 square meters the reporting was much more difficult to refute and it forced a change in beijing's message and strategy. on october 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. function. it told the story of what the chinese government wanted to communicate about always happening and change out which was there was radical extremism there was terrorism there was next up or to. killing. the government was fighting this as part of this worldwide battle against terrorism was how they framed it you had a number of pieces and nationalist are publications like global times. it's all the same you see above this chinese language media push not so much acknowledged. that 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 tension and then there was also

a cultural aspect which is the idea that they are not you know stifling we are culture they are preserving it. originally the young. people are allowed to make dances make their traditional make their traditional. so their narrative has been changing over time based on how international community has been responding reacting so this public misinformation campaign sport started last august and it's happening to this day. is weaker he advocates and campaigns for legal rights from his base in washington d.c. took aim has been deceptive in the chinese official narrative i don't see john for years he and other analysts point to a framework of institutional islamophobia and

a sense of superiority amongst the countries ethnic majority the hunt chinese they see this underlies the narrative of extremism culturally alienation and the need for the state to keep a lid on a potentially explosive situation in sin 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 underpaying bombings by separatists through the ninety's and early 2006 as well as the riots in sindh junks capital in 2009 when you reported the situation in she jar 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 no concentration camps there are. still it is 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 room. in the world and the people in the world with fake news they call it the 3 forces of terrorism next separatism and extremism. should be. so they use that as kind of the face of what had happened before the security forces moved in in 2014 and made everything much safer there was a 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 past 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 from russian t.v. shooting and they keep kind of playing this footage over and over and then 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 fact. in its misinformation campaign it is the long going as we speak she did because government has shown 0 tolerance for political dissent it would be difficult for anyone to come and express sympathy for any issue as sensitive as do we shoot for the past 3 years 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 regional 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 jail. 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 any 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 phone journalists have finally forced the chinese authorities to acknowledge the existence of the camps which is a start 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 beaches can.

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 is weaker 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 since on earth dozens of stories on the crackdown informing foreign reporters and the we ask for a like 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 say tof 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 wigglers began 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 years have been arbitrarily and ag traditionally detained in this camps then 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 method 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 even bathrooms 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 vade been face china sea radio free asia practically as an enemy station and in particular though we are service because we are service is one and the 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 to provide information to the chinese government but this pressure and stress is the 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 where 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. tof thanks very much for speaking with us today. i regret 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 janks caps. the most heavily surveilled probably of 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 is the 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 kitted 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 or forty's some with attained by police others forced to delete data on their phones and other devices. most all. 96 percent say they were visibly followed. but then there were the far graver dangers that face local sources. last year

journalist james palmer formally based in china spoke about his personal experience trying to cover. all of my weaker sources of. cash i don'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 company 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 100. camps. across. 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 it earlier foundation 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 john a chinese student based in vancouver came into the picture. was a young girl 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 camps to be built these documents contain the addresses of nearly 100 camps so i searched on google earth and found the satellite images and 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 published it on my blog. collected by a researcher and. construction documents found by. psychological. children of parents taking to the camps a lot of mainstream media's coverage has built upon adrian or shawn work you see in the paper is using government documents and hiring information. to show the extent to which the security state has grown and changed. and sean has used satellite

imagery to show the compass 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 banks and elsewhere in repose. and online game of cat and mouse over one of the world's

biggest stories. this year going to going to see 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 watchtowers 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 the 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 this my tool this i think doing this work is worth it because there are so many we could 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. our f a whig or beijing is now saying that

i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up after a nuclear bomb aid agencies describe the difficulty of getting help to hurricane survivors and the bahamas. another way that showdowns france warns of the u.k. it might not get another delay even if it asks for one plus love that. trying to learn and a country at war love gets increasingly desperate for you many families crandell to camps like this. talent says the u.s. has the most to lose from donald trump's decision to cancel a secret meeting with that the president blamed taliban attacks for his stock announcement and secretary of state says negotiations are dead at least for now tony bartley reports in kabul president trumps early morning tweet cancelling the meeting with the taliban surprised many including the afghan government but it has

actually welcomed the decision the main goal of our piece is is a ceasefire and indicted negotiation with the taliban so these 2 components are very important. the taliban refuses to talk directly with the afghan government who she regards as illegitimate and corrupt but it did agree to negotiate with the u.s. these forces invaded afghanistan 18 years ago after the 911 attacks on america there have been 9 rounds of talks it's october last year but during that time taliban fighters have carried out numerous attacks and suicide bombings and america has also continued its air campaign which is hit the taliban but this year has also caused the biggest number of civilian casualties the latest taliban bombing was in kabul last thursday in which 12 people were killed including an american soldier 2 days later the u.s. president in a tweet ditched what he said was going to be

a secret meeting at camp david. even as the taliban was claiming responsibility for thursday's attack zalmay khalilzad the u.s. chief negotiator was only way to katter for further talks that were later described as positive but the afghan government said the talks gave the taliban recognition the taliban has responded angrily to trump canceling the talks in a statement released on its website they said the agreement was finalized on saturday both sides agreed to all points they talked about intra afghan talks to begin on september the 23rd but warned that their struggle will continue and the u.s. would suffer more the u.s. has been criticized for offering the taliban too much for raising fears that the country could descend into civil war once the bulk of american forces withdraw if there is a new agreement between the problem in the united states government about the role of the party following forces. that will be devoid of worth and not

only put up can stand that would be the way the world situation part of that region and the international community and that is something that troubles many afghans. we know the taliban is not trustworthy and they do whatever they want and they will misuse islamic laws and a terrifying way this country boy would be better with them in the government. we are free of the taliban come out not only will women's rights be violated but also all human rights. all sides appear to agree that militarily they can be no winner in this conflict but also achieving a lasting peace is not going to be easy either where this leaves the peace process is anyone's guess it depends largely on what the taliban chooses to do next either escalate the violence or return to the negotiating table in a different frame of mind afghanistan waits to see which one it will be tony berkeley al jazeera kabul lebanese armed group has said downed an israeli drone outside the border town of rami are its fighters say it now has the aircraft israel

and hezbollah exchanged fire along the lebanese border just over a week ago. the u.s. says it's delivered enough from urgency supplies for $44000.00 people in the bahamas since the islands were hit by hurricane dorian but the un's warning conditions on those worst affected areas the sickest situation is rapidly deteriorating with 70000 people needing food and shelter the storm neighborhoods and destroyed piers roads and runways make it very difficult to distribute aid i had a chance earlier today to tour the damage from the air and i have a call and what i was struck by was. the the focused nature of the devastation so there are parts of a co in the bahamas that don't show a great deal of damage and then there are clusters in communities that were devastated almost as though nuclear bombs were dropped on them that's how great the suffering is and the devastation is many survivors are being relocated to shelters

and nassau the capital of the bahamas from there mano rappler reports. everybody at this community center in nassau dozens of volunteers are sorting through donations support from the international community for survivors of hurricane dorian has been immense. despite relief efforts however many continue to suffer the psychological effects of the devastation we have a lot of people who lost their loved ones. we have people who don't know where their loved ones are so on the ceiling with the kids stress disorder people have a lot of. i most likely will be extra various things posttraumatic stress disorder as well. behaving in government says that as many as 3500 evacuees have arrived in nassau most of the displaced are from the islands of abaco and grand bahama the

areas worst affected by hurricane dorian. in all it's estimated that more than 70000 people have been left without food. and shelter that's nearly one 5th of the bahamian population darrien was katrina i know the people of new orleans were totally. unprepared for the train up we did and i suspect it may be a pedant some ways by the not for the magnitude and so when these people come they have been traumatized by to do is make life for them with normal as possible. nassau has become a final stop for many hurricane survivors with no place else to go some here seem dazed and unsure of what they'll do next is my house destroyed i don't see everything no clothes and i get the slippers and from here you know and they bring some clothes for us and you know what i need some stuff for a little some you know. i mean how. did this

shelter is caring for more than 200 people the building is active passive but donations have been forthcoming guaranteeing everyone a safe place to rest a decent meal and medical attention for those who need it we're at the fox hill community center in nassau where volunteers in some cases are up to their waists in donations but the need here in the bahamas is so great that any donations of food water medicine hygiene kits like these donated by the red cross are all very much welcome. shelters for the displaced can be found all around nassau which is home to 70 percent of the country's total population but as more evacuees arrive space becomes limited relief workers have begun setting up tents ahead of the arrival of even more evacuees the concern now is that nassau may not be prepared for the long term care of the thousands whose communities have been destroyed many will rob lowe al jazeera now sabah homs. area surrounding japanese capital are assessing the

back to bragg's that deadline the u.k. says they want to push forward alternatives to avoid a no deal we haven't received anything so we still know we're not going to start over every 3 months it's up to the u.k. to show us the way forward by mr johnson's short time in power has been to monstrous and as frank said strategy has split the conservative party the past week saw johnson's own brother resign from the government along with a senior cabinet minister he's not he's also lost his government's majority and expelled 21 so-called rubbled m.p.'s one of them the grandson of winston churchill lawrence lee reports. london's parliament square is graced with a statue of britain's most famous politician and the ghost of winston churchill his legacy and beliefs have very much been on people's minds in this extraordinary contradictory week. when parliament resumes prime minister boris johnson himself above refers to churchill invoked the language and even the intonation of the wartime leader. to suggest that the u.k. was somehow in

a conflict with the european union he used the very same words about the e.u. that churchill had done about nazi germany in 1944 you never surrender that sort of language comes from the playbook of johnson's new chief of staff dominic cummings a brick said idealogue behind the slogan take back control and cummings many believe was also behind the brutal treatment of those conservatives who could not accept johnson's agenda contrary to the prime minister's assertion one of those was cynical assumes a conservative grandy summarily sacks with 20 others for refusing to support johnson's do or die approach to leaving the european union but his speech after being told he was no longer welcomed johnson's conservative party was extraordinary not least because johnson had sacked the grandson of winston churchill and here they were together in 1950. i'm truly very sad that it should end in this

way only does my most fervent hope that this house will rediscover the spirit of compromise humility and understand that will enable us finally to push ahead with the vital work in the interests of the whole country sitting in front of soames was another conservative rebel richard benyon who was also sacked the next day he told me of his concerns about the direction the party he loved was being taken in the attitude of some of the people. who were around the prime minister not . coming to speak about that yes and you know i think they have a big responsibility for the size of the rebellion last night and some of things that were said to colleagues of mine were extraordinary. the generally held view is that the johnson administration is now so terrified of nigel farage as breck's it party that despises the european union but it will no longer brook any dissent it

was to status in british politics forced the bracks referendum in the 1st place and now it seems he is driving the conservative party to adopt his views.
