and even when detainees can see relatives and use the toilet points system dictates punishments and rewards documents show explicit directives to address wage wars with foreign citizenship and to try. living abroad experts say the scope of the pat form demonstrates the power of technology to help drive industrial scale human rights abuses that speaks more about this not to arsalan iftikhar who's a human y. sawyer joining us live from the u.s. state of virginia via skype thank you very much for being with us johnny the chinese government sorry has always denied that these camps are you know used to to punish people that say that these camps voluntary education and training what's your reaction to these new revelations are you surprised at the scale and extent of the detentions or did you always know. well i think many of us already interviewed some of whom genocide china as we were muslims is one of the largest

a completely orwellian system of ethnic cleansing where china you know with their beijing political nerve center is acting as big brother not only ensuring the detention and detainment of a 1000000 who are muslims in the concentration camps but again you know the source for really an system of you know when people can go to the bathroom or when they didn't you know call their families one day out of earnings to you know there's a quite system inside of these camps you know where you get more points for being indoctrinated with you know the sort of central chinese communist propaganda and removing in a race here on this i mean it's the most orwellian thing that ever seen before as human rights and so what is then the ultimate purpose of these camps. well the ultimate purpose. is to. make identity and especially you know

that sort which has a certain amount of appeal to more moderate. mainstream type democratic voters bloomberg has expressed his dissatisfaction with the current field of democrats suggesting some are too far to the left to beat the president who shrugged off speculation the former mayor would enter the race little might go will go spend a lot of money michael bloomberg made his fortune here at bloomberg to help lead the financial information a media company co-founder he's the richest man in new york with far exceeding president tribes but among some democrats that could be a liability what we need is a dynamic democracy particularly among the party base not the billionaire with the cards to be walked the run for president of the united states while bloomberg may be targeting white suburban voters who went for trump in 2016 he recently

apologized for a policy. that put him at odds with the minority community called stop and frisk many saw this police tactic as a form of racism and harassment. i got something important wrong i got something important really wrong i didn't understand that bad the full impact that stocks were having on the black and latino communities an apparent recognition of the need to unify the opposition and a late apology that appears aimed at smoothing the way for a late entry in the race christian salumi al-jazeera new york. forest johnson is promising a triple tax law for the next 5 years that means a new case conservatives want to increase income tax national insurance and. manifesto also vos to get the breaks it withdrawn agreement back for a parliamentary vote before december 25th holbein and reports from tough it. the conservatives are riding comfortably ahead in the latest opinion polls 47 percent

a climax now it all stems from a case of a gentleman by the name of eddie gallagher who is a navy seal who was arrested in 2018 for alleged war crimes in iraq when he served there he went on trial in the united states trial with a military court and he was eventually acquitted of these war crimes and released from the military jail that we he was held in however he was demoted in rank and lost his highest rank within the prestigious navy seals and that was because top military commanders. simply said just because you were acquitted of war crimes we still don't think you are properly need to be you do need to be punished so he was lost some of his rank just a couple weeks ago president donald trump who's been involved in this case and been supporting gallagher from the very beginning. reinstated his highest rank this is

caught caused tension between the white house and the pentagon and particularly richard spencer the navy secretary who had been pushing to have any gallagher demoted and kicked out of the navy seals and this has been causing back and forth well now richard spencer the navy secretary has been fired sunday evening by the defense secretary all because of this case of a gallery why did president trump get so involved in this case came. yeah that's a lot of people have been asking that question listen as the president he is the commander in chief of the armed forces the united states or he can pretty much do whatever he wants and make any decisions he wants relating to the armed forces however it's highly unusual for a president to basically defy the military commanders who many of whom wanted to demote this particular navy seal and it's rare that

a president would step in and intervene in a matter such as this however he gallagher's lawyer had close ties to donald trump gallagher and lawyers and gallagher supporters have been going on fox news for many many months now which is the television channel that the president watches regularly and been promoting his case urging the president to support him and so it just becomes an issue of the president had the power to do this and for perhaps many reasons a lot of people don't know is simply decided to support gallagher and take on this case himself as the commander in chief thank you for that gabe for us in washington d.c. . the conflict in ukraine has been in the headlines voice links to the u.s. president impeachment inquiry and fighting is still going on in the ease with both the. russian backed separatists blaming each other for the violence. that has more from near the front lines. you have gotten war fought in old style

hamas and fattah have agreed it's time for new polls well in. full saw what the how the elections are a legitimate right for the palestinian people and. it's an opportunity and a challenge an opportunity for achieving good equals relation to ending the palestinian house and to find an exit from the current crisis. in 2006 president mahmoud abbas handed is smile one ear the prime minister's job after hamas shocked everyone including themselves by winning 60 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections. but within 2 months the hunt shakes gave way to conflict. fatta on abas is watch seized control of important ministries. hamas took over the gaza strip after fighting broke out between the 2 groups. since then gaza has been crippled by an israeli blockade and in the west bank political life

has ceased it seems to me that. would work in the girls are still without any problems and in the meantime hamas would win in the west bank without any problems which means that the majority of the palestinians in the west bank and gaza head their own governments and would like to have a change without in the daily life conditions in gaza or in terms of the political situation in the west bank. fattah and the palestinian authority have been criticised for clinging on to power way beyond their mandates his 4 year term supposedly ended in 2009 the m.p.'s it was 2010. and now it's time to see enough for division it's time to go back to the people it's not enough to say that i as a factional party claimed i represent the palestinian people we have to find a way out of this conflict. is designated

a terrorist group by israel and the us and the likelihood it would be given renewed democratic legitimacy in an election means it's not just the palestinians who must agree to a poll israel will have to agree to facilitate the vote in occupied east jerusalem and some analysts say the u.s. and other arab states will also have to give the go ahead because what bothers the most is what happens the day after the votes are being counted as usual the destiny of the palestinians is left in the hands of outside forces bernard smith. at least 4 people have died after heavy flooding in the south of france hundreds of people have been evacuated from the code does 0 region and around 4000 homes are without electricity to rental rains have disrupted air and rail transport while many roles have been cut off. coral reefs are around the globe are dying as oceans
