this is al-jazeera. out of there on it like this is a new life and coming up in the next 60 minutes forced to birth control and threats of detention china is accused of trying to cap the week a population. of dozens dead and missing 2 river ferries collide near the capital of bangladesh. the fate job for his wife and misuse of public money on the french prime minister also feel it's a prison sentence for fraud. wanted for murder iran issues and arrest warrant for the u.s. president donald trump over a drone strike that killed his top trick. i'm joining us your skull with the sport

just days before formula one returns to action lewis hamilton's team unveils a new look for the car to back the backlights matic campaign. so china has been accused of forcing it weaker women into pregnancy check sterilization or borsch and in a bid to slash birth rates an investigation by the associated press has found evidence of a 4 year campaign in north western provinces china's government denies the allegations saying they're not based on facts. as this report. never forget the day chinese authorities told her her 3rd child was illegal she says she was threatened told to pay a fine of more than $2.00 and a half $1000.00 should be locked up in an internment camp some american if they give shots and remove fetuses forcefully if they say it's illegal to make you get

an abortion those who didn't obey were sent to the camps now people they're terrified of giving birth. the associated press investigation is based on government statistics documents and interviews with women like who say they knew people jailed for having too many children many received a prison sentence of years even decades government efforts to reduce birth rates. are both systematic and ruthless we're talking the mass forced insertion of intra you're to run contraceptive devices we're talking threats of internment for those who are violent birth control policies zain says the brutal crackdown is part of government efforts to control the way to get people many of whom a muslim to purge them of their faith and identity. the investigation found the government had spent hundreds of millions of dollars on birth control and shin jang

province in northwest china birthrights their decreased by about 24 percent last year compared with 4 percent nationwide but. the bottom is they want to eliminate us but they can't kill all of us it's not possible because the world is watching so they're doing it step by step with policies like sterilization imprisonment or separating men and women and making them work as forced labor as china says the camps are for reeducation part of what it calls a struggle against terrorism but rights groups accuse beijing of locking up more than a 1000000 people to brainwash and punish them. i was not detained spied on. says her neighborhood felt like an open air prison she tells how she was forcibly sterilized along with about 200 other women. we lost a part of our body we lost our identity as women we will never be able to have children again some women say they've been left with long term injuries

a reminder of everything they've lost brian al jazeera let's hear now from katrina you who's in beijing and she says the population control policies described in the associated press report a harsher than those applied to the majority ethnic group. the government saying that they're basically just equalizing the family planning policy nationwide prior to 2014 we got families were allowed to have up to 3 children but then that changed and in 2014 they were subject to the same one child policy or that changed 22020162 or 2 child policy nationwide now it is true that hand women have since been subject to the same fines if they have more than 2 children but they are certainly not foreign into any detention camps or subject to any sort of forced abortions or forced sterilizations as we've seen nor is it in this associated press report

converse li han women actually around the country have been encouraged to have a 2nd child because of worryingly low birth rates across china now we also know that. people who are members of the week of community have been strongly encourage not to marry other leaders but into the hand majority analysts say that this is another long term policy to dilute the population the weaker population does appear that that would be working you know in 1949 according to official figures 90 percent of the population world leaders in 2018 only 47 percent were weak as now china's foreign ministry today on monday responded to this report essentially calling the associated press report fake news it has always maintained that its policies and a national security issue was designed to prevent terrorism and extremism and separatism that there are in response to very violent knife and bomb attacks in recent decades but as we heard just then many human rights groups disagree saying

that many of these measures are based on race and religion and not only do they say that up to 1000000 people are held in these detention camps which the government by the way calls for occasional training centers they say that many of these policies are designed to also erode the muslim week of religion and culture as well as put them under very strict almost suffocating levels of surveillance. rescue teams in bangladesh are searching for dozens still missing off to 2 ferries collided on a river near the capital one of the boats with more than 100 passengers on board and sank rescue workers have so far recovered the bodies of 30 people straightaway to time the chantry joins us live from dhaka near the scene of the accident looks like a night's drawing in what's the latest. bustling of activity is here actually we have a coast guard vessel we have fire service vessel on my right side right behind me

you see a lot of small doing is there's actually a lot of rescue operation people there in small doing is trying to salvage the boat which is right one block behind me the fire service director told me it's about 50 to 60 feet deep in this area they're going to continue their operation even at night time i spoke to the navy personnel who are in operation of the diving team he say that until and unless they get the boat salvage its high probability that most people there who didn't make it to the shore and could be dead in that boat so this is an ongoing operation and it is going to continue until and unless the salvage the boat a lot of activity is in this part of the city we are also in the place called shelter god this is the largest passenger boat terminal in the country and there is a lot of passenger boats even in this pandemic time back and forth from him to this state having said all those i got to point out bangladesh has a very disciplined record of poor safety record among the inland river transport

it's a 6000 kilometer inland river transport route where a lot of small and bigger passenger ferries apply and there has been quite frequently accident during the storm and even in normal times because of heavy overloading and even the government promises every time there's going to be an investigation a committee but they're not enforced because of lack of manpower and also because of corruption a lot of the passenger boat owners get away with this kind of tragedy every now and then we see that quite often going on right here yes with these ongoing young students is this just something that the authorities have been deployed themselves to their lack of political will. while i thing does the imp. rove reasonably but it's not just good enough i mean they keep saying they're going to crack down i mean that make an investigation team and then months will go by and nothing will happen and then again sure enough something will happen

and then they get serious on top i think it's a lot to do with resource a lack of manpower and a political will in the and to honestly speaking for a time to leave them for the moment in time to challenge your reporting from dockers the rescue effort continues. former french prime minister from so feel has been given a 5 year prison sentence for fraud he was found guilty of misusing public funds and embezzlement the fake joes for his wife and children she received more than a $1000000.00 in who's been convicted as an accomplice let's get more on this from the tension but let joins us from the courthouse in paris and it touches so 1st up on the verdict itself which is expected. expected in as much as prosecutors have actually requested a 5 year sentence for false offer your with 3 years suspended 3 is suspended for his wife penelope as well in the court obviously went with that and handed down

that verdict to the couple now the couple have left the courts their lawyers say this trial was unfair it was a sham the fossil feel was the victim of a political smear campaign and they now have 10 days to appeal they've made it very clear that they will do that now the cool found guilty of fraud because back in 2017 allegations surface the field all had paid his wife penelope for several years hundreds of thousands of dollars for a job as a parliamentary systems however the court found that there was not a shred of evidence to really support that and i actually did any work for feel and i feel has always said that penelope helped with things like correspondence e-mails for his constituency and help correct his speeches but it seems that the job judge judges here at this periscope were clearly just not convinced this is a big deal this is the former prime minister being found guilty of fraud just how

significant it. was very significant on several levels obviously significant for france off the all one time prime minister one of france's best known politicians being found guilty of ford and corruption even more so because he always projected this image as a very upstanding law abiding citizen so i mean it's certainly a real fall from grace for him and it ended his political career it has tarnished his image completely it also tarnished a bit the image of the conservative party that have always propped him up he was the standard bearer for them he was their great hope for the presidential election in 2017 and then on the other hand it's also incredibly. good for people in france because there is this sense in france the politicians are so often abused that privilege is yet very very rarely held accountable so i think many people watching this trial to see if somebody like fossil feel with his status would indeed be

found guilty yeah interesting all right natasha meant thanks very much trash but the reporting. i probably more still ahead on news hour including the hungry in just trying to stay warm seasonal workers stuck in the chilly winter bites coronavirus stops them from going home. and why nigeria is calling for the sale of sacred african all the time just to be cool. we go to school coming to jail will be able to leave a free cup quarter final actually creating. an easy win for man city. and attack on pakistan's stock exchanges ended with at least 9 people killed security forces stopped the attackers before they could take control of the building in karachi so hard it was just. police helicopter hovers above

the gun battle between security forces in gunmen attacking pakistan stock exchange in karachi it's surrounded by a sick war and it's heavily guarded. but the attackers detonated a grenade as they entered the grounds despite that they were unable to get into the main building security forces quickly reach the scene and for the attackers killing all fooled the stock exchange director. despite the gun battle outside broca's huddle together inside and trading continued . rule of the terrorists were killed at the main gate. the other the 3rd was killed at the center gate and the porter is one of those killed at the 3rd of the main gate of destruction building so the law enforcement agency is the police and the rangers played a very very vital role in combating this attack and. destruction the financial hub

of the. overseer. with dozens of hand grenades ammunition found at the scene heavily armed security forces believe they stopped the attackers from inflicting more damage in pakistan's largest stock exchange it seems government forensics experts started collecting evidence at the scene and have searched a car used by the gunman sort of site at al-jazeera kimo hyder is in the capital islamabad and he says the attack could have been much more serious. 2 of the attackers were killed on the main gate 2 other attackers were able to get n. side the pair of the karachi stock exchange they were dining gauged by a rapid reaction force of the rangers the police and also the guards who put up different distance neutralizing the other 2 are just outside the main building now the daisy rangers were saying that such a planned attack could only be happening with foreign supported did not name the

country who could be supporting this but the blues liberation army was quick to take responsibility for the attack this in an organization that had been declared a deadest outfit by the united states the attack was directed at focus on financial heart the city of karachi and the attackers had brought food water and enough grenades and i munition or simply wanting to take hostages and altered to kill as many people as possible their own has issued an arrest warrant for donald trump the u.s. president is one of $36.00 people identified as being involved in january is drone strike in iraq which killed a military commander some sort of money the u.s. says he was planning to attack and soldiers run once interpol to issue a wanted me to question the detention of trump and other suspects. well in the united states donald trump summoning members of congress to the white house to

address reports that russia offered to pay taliban fighters to target american troops in afghanistan president trump said this information never reached him because intelligence agencies did not think it was credible the new york times which 1st reported the story senior u.s. officials well aware of the plot is early as january speaker nancy pelosi accused trump of scientists with russia's lida let's get more from our white house correspondent could be so you can read this summoning of members of congress what's happening with obama. that wasn't on the official schedule nick but the white house press secretary kelly mcenaney confirming that members of congress presumably presumably republicans coming to the white house to try to get some answers about this reporting the question being who knew what when and will the russian president vladimir putin be held to account if these allegations are credible this follows the reports as you mentioned over the weekend that in fact

russia had been paying bounties to taliban linked militants or fighters in order to kill u.s. troops in afghanistan no the u.s. president for his part tweeting on sunday that in fact he was never briefed on this intelligence didn't know about it because u.s. intelligence officials deemed the intelligence to not be credible however this is not sitting well with at least one democratic member of congress house speaker nancy pelosi who says this is as bad as it gets and the democratic presidential nominee joe biden saying that this is a shocking revelation now republican members of congress are also looking for answers even president trump's ally senator lindsey graham a top republican in the u.s. senate and also list cheney in the house of representatives so there's a little bit of clearing up to be done by this white house something that the press secretary is promising will take place at this briefing with members of car. in fact the white house calling this false reporting based on anonymous unnamed

sources no place for this kind of leaking of classified intelligence but not offering any specifics or details beyond accusing us of being false reporting although the press secretary is promising to brief reporters more on this 700 g.m.t. . and see what happens then that can be the time being facebook and how could that the white house where the u.s. is trying to get a handle on infections not yet decided to lift restrictions or coronavirus a quarter of the people in fact world wide already in the united states which is the west country with a sharp increase in infections recorded in southern and western states the u.s. health secretary is warning that time is running out to keep up the spread is pretty cold. the corona virus is marching through america in houston texas hospitals are quickly running out of intensive care but in florida arizona and texas mobile testing sites are being overrun with people waiting for hours many turned away health experts warned this would happen in many of these states mostly

republican governors move to reopen businesses stressing the importance of the health of the economy now critics say the public health system and a growing number of people are paying the price well the trump administration says there is no connection. all 50 states are opening up again to one degree or another states like florida and like texas actually began to open up in in early may for the better part of 6 weeks john we did not see any significant movement but if you look at this tracker showing which states meet the government's criteria to reopen only 4 are safe the ones in red are seen large spikes in cases and now at least one member of the administration is sounding the alarm window is closing we have to act and people as individuals have to act responsibly we need to social distance we need to wear fit our face coverings if we're in settings where we can't social distance particularly in these hot zones but in many of these states where

cases are on the rise there is no mandatory order to wear masks in public and in many ways this is become a partisan issue well the vice president attended an event sunday where the crowd seemed to mostly wear masks the president has not done the same and my understanding that the centers for disease control has recommended the use of mass but not the demand with choir at it because they don't want to send the president and that the president should be example you know real men wear masks for the president's part his focus at least on twitter was elsewhere we tweeted this video of supporters yelling white power. he appears to have deleted it before leaving the white house once again his weekend spent golfing by some estimates the number of cases that have been reported each day has more than doubled over the last 2 weeks and given the way this virus spreads that means the number is likely to jump dramatically in the days and weeks ahead particle haim al-jazeera maryland

. well as ek gets ready to relax more coronavirus restrictions one english city may be prevented from doing that or concerns about the number of infections in leicester after a recent surge that pubs restaurants and other tourism sectors they're set to reopen next week for the 1st time in 3 months jenelle joins us now from leicester in general how bad is the situation there. nick there are certainly numbers coming out here in leicester that indicate that something is going on although the data is still a bit woolly it's not entirely clear what or how severe it may be certainly there has been a massive uptick in testing in leicester there's a testing center over there through the trees behind me and what that has revealed is that in a 2 week period up to june the 23rd some 900 almost 100 new cases were detected and that's pretty high given the population count here it led to boris johnson the prime minister talking about lester's being an area of particular concern it was

much talk over the weekend about it possibly becoming the 1st part of the u.k. to go into full localised lockdown to deal with a local outbreak part of the prime minister's so-called whack a mole strategy to deal with local outbreaks as and when and where they occur and particularly as the rest of the country as you pointed out gets ready to shake off much of its remaining lockdown restrictions on june july the 4th with the reopening of the hospitality sector now meetings are ongoing as we speak it appears rather that what they're talking about is having less to remain within its current set of restrictions for a further 2 weeks beyond july the 4th in part to gather more data about the nature of this outbreak where it may be centralised and so on and how best to deal with it while telling the population in the repeat guidance to keep washing their hands to maintain social distance to keep contact outside the home to a minimum it's a sort of guidance that people in this country been very used to hearing over the

last few months but as the government has taken its finger more and more off the pressure button in recent weeks lifting the lockdown it is guidance that quite a lot of people seem to have forgotten there are those who say that we should get used to these the local flare ups that would have people say what one sense in a sense of the measures being proposed. we've been in leicester for a couple of hours this morning and spoken to a few people in the local community that we've come across there is clearly a level of concern there's a lot of anecdotal evidence about that people seem to think that more and more people are getting infected one faith leaders said look you know if there is evidence that this is happening and we need to do it and those are the facts to be able to explain it to people then our community will accept and embrace the need for a renewal of the restrictions is quite a lot of pushback happening at a local official level though complaints that data has been too slow to be produced by the government to allow local decisions to be made the mayor has been

particularly outspoken saying that the report upon which all of this is based by public health england was cobbled together hastily it was superficial he said and full of inaccuracies and a lack of understanding about the community and also about the slow pace of data and all of that is in essence comes down to the government's tests trace and isolate program the testing is ok the tracing is not that is well documented the data is not there a lot of cases of being missed and that is why quite a lot of people in the scientific community and elsewhere have complained that the lockdown is simply being lifted in this country too quickly. right now ok jenny thanks very much general there in leicester from the u.k. we're going to spend across to poland i think the weather up there poland in flood again not for the 1st time this year not even this month it's june i remind you is 1st the summary but you remember we've been saying for quite a while now it's expanding area of what looks like a like a winter storm and clearly isn't expanding its large yes it's cloud and it's rain

over the whole of northern and western europe now there has been some of your heat wave to about 3 days ago this thing has been wiped out the way quite happily but as it moves east was its cover guessed this thing more or less in poland which sort of stops progress there that's a cold front that produces right now head of it with nice and warm and sundry well when the 2 combine and don't move you tend to get these floods in poland has been the victim of this more than once it's currently in the far south of poland sceptically sort of half a meter has fallen and landed in this general area just not just one place but it's certainly part of the focus and more to come this front is still waving it's frontals it's fair frontal thunderstorms up through poland possibly towards the baltic states tomorrow and you notice rain to the east as well in fact the whole of eastern europe been squeezed could record from the west cool reckoning up from russia such that the summer warmth is disappearing for our eyes means going from 28 down to 22 however it is still hot in southern europe one focus is spain and

surprised me seville not record breaking but hot here warming up nicely wrap things up. well poland's president has failed to win enough votes to avoid a runoff next month the results of sunday's pandemic delayed election show that. top of the 1st round but feel short of the overall majority needed it may rival is a pro e.u. liberal mare warsaw so i think younger is more. oh oh it had been a tight race a battle of ideals pitted between populism and progress but a frustrated win for the man who had occupied the role for the past by years andre do with a tie to his fate to the rightwing law and justice party and placed his bet on a deeply conservative often homophobic agenda still he attempted a positive spin on the outcome change will come to come did not target them by

still growing the result is better by far than the one from 5 years ago with 10 of the candidates thank you very much for your support but 1st and foremost i would like to thank my compatriots for the turnout for this massive participation in the election but this was a campaign fought in extraordinary times deferred by the pandemic the vote was supposed to have taken place in may which would have put due to comfortably ahead of his rivals instead the delay allowed his strongest rival to scoff ski to throw his hat in the ring approach e.u. centrist and the male liberal views have at times put him at odds with the country's influential roman catholic clerics. to consolidate his base invoked a nationalist program condemning the country's l g b t rights movement as a foreign ideology more destructive than communism and under his watch made close

to chu tional reforms that put the independence of the country's judiciary at stake by giving politicians the power to fire judges if they disagreed with their legal decisions a move that strained poland's relations with the european union you saw it as an assault on poland and the blocs beagle system but i want to do that also had international supporters who chimed in this populist tactics perhaps hoping an endorsement for the u.s. president just ahead of the election would boost his voting base is doing a terrific job the people of poland think the world of him and by the way this is due to who terrific woman terrific woman who we've gotten to know also through our various travels and meetings do this failure to secure an outright win now means that both he and will face each other again next month but what won't be clear is if it will bring to an end poland's bitterly divided politics sunday diagonal

al-jazeera voters in local elections in france of punish the president and the norm back on centrist party green kind of its in major cities enjoyed a series of victories in the far right national rally won its 1st major city in the south i voted turnouts was a record low due to corona virus and i'm. so later on al jazeera using crosses to send a message protesters in brazil demand the president do more to control the pandemic . and taking down a symbol of racist mississippi votes to retard the last state flag of the united states the confederate emblem. and on the same day the new england patriots signed a new quarterback to find all the $1000000.00 tell us what that's what about in sport.

from young like you there's. a revolutionary thing. from political activism to incarceration in part one of the 2 part documentary series i just you know explores the single minded journey. of the 1st leader of an independent bosnia herzegovina. as a bag of. from prisoner to president on jesse. short films of hope. and inspiration. a series of short stories that highlight the human triumph against the odds. al-jazeera selects. rule

investments to setting up fake jobs for his wife and the children's. health workers in india have reported the biggest single day increase in corona virus infections several states are reimposing full partial lockdowns with nearly 20000 new cases more than half a 1000000 indians have been infected some states say they will increase testing. at 3 is a medical doctor that counts and rescue issues and yet providing medical services for disadvantaged people in west bengal she says the only way india can fight the virus is by increasing its testing capability capability. before the gold crisis also our economic graph of the country was not very promising and now after the long done it has almost become like a hunger vs help for us so i don't i don't see us as a country combating and containing the virus anytime soon what we have to do is maybe learn to live with it in

a safe manner that is the best approach i think just yesterday we did more than one laxity 1000 tests so all you know we have the rampant increase the number of tests in almost all the states of the country and that is going to be a strategy henceforth also what we have been focusing on is to increase the testing as much as possible so that even the is symptomatic carriers can be traced and we can catch the disease at that you know incipient stage. protests against rising fuel costs have been held across india defying restrictions on gotta respect is a case of $19.00 the opposition is calling out the government for increasing prices after almost 3 months of looked on this but from them was one of the demonstrations in the capital new delhi. word of protest against the i think field cost is being broken up by police that's because protests i'm allowed this also come into my misconstruction that they have been called for by and is the main policy of the police cars all over the country and that's because fuel prices have gone out meet

every day for the past 3 weeks they're at their highest level in nearly 2 years and this is happening the global oil prices are down and there was that the government does not close in on the benefits of the low cost of procurement to the people that increasing taxes on fuel now india already has some of the highest taxes on fuel the governor said i mean the revenue people are saying that it is getting them at a time when they asked for financially india is in an economic crisis because of one of the strictest lockdowns and there have been other protests this is just the latest of a protest in the city in part by a transport union here in delhi on the weekend and the congress party says it's going to ask the president to back on the fuel price hike. brazil is the world's 2nd worst affected country with more than one nicole to 1000000 cases opponents of brazil's president to they blame for worsening the crisis and organize

an international day of protests called stop both sonora and is on their m.p.'s he is in neighboring colombia and has more as the sun rose over the capital brasilia a 1000 crosses were planted in front of the brazilian congress to honor the more than 57000 people that have so far died of cold with 1000 in the country. but it was also the 1st of a series of demonstrations on sunday against president handling of the pandemic. groups of protesters in more than 20 countries and in brazil's main cities called for his resignation. cheering supporters in the state of. without a face mask despite a court ruling that required him to wear one but number of cases in the country keeps rising i reduction in the number of daily deaths in religion 80 was enough

for the mayor to reopen stores in beauty salons and this weekend but many customers say they remain worried i think it should be done step by step there can be no crowds everyone should keep their distance we all know our economy is collapsing and we have to get back to work but the viruses and visible so we can only wear our masks. the corona virus and continues to wreck havoc in much of latin america. even colombia that had managed to control the spread of the virus is experiencing a resurgence of infections after partially reopening the economy the mayor of the capital is asking president to reinstate the strict lockdown. the numbers are overwhelming but has reached 27000 cases and arraigned 600 dead the country has more than 88000 cases and almost 30000 deaths we need to prepare to go back to a strict quarantine. staying at home might be the only way to protect the health

system reaching a critical state but something difficult to implement again in this and other countries in latin america with a large population working informally hand to mouth then needs to be on the streets every day to survive a lesson that. we can hear now from dr margaret souza spokeswoman for the world health organization and she told us the virus is spreading rapidly because many people are just not observing social distancing. we've got brazil reporting very large numbers of cases also india reported a very you know more than 100000 cases in the last 7 days where seeing large outbreaks in the eastern mediterranean in the gulf states and we're also seeing an acceleration in some african countries so we very concerned about the breaks in all all around the world so where we are is we have

a very very big global pandemic and we have transmission in all parts of the world so yes the us and parts of the world with that have been able to bring down the transmission but this is a country that's free or safe of this virus i mean some countries of some small piece of it islands for instance have been over to bring down the numbers right down but it where if the virus is any way it's everywhere and that's really been demonstrated this week when some people came out people especially in the northern hemisphere where they're enjoying a summer they sky never forgot that this threat is there and unfortunately it's really come back to bite us. the thousands of foreign fruit pickers in chile are in limbo because their savings to go on and borders remain closed many are from bolivia which doesn't have full diplomatic ties because of a long running territorial dispute with its neighbor in the 3rd part of our series

on people stranded by the pandemic or latin america it's a scene in human reports from santiago. some have traveled thousands of kilometers from southern chile to get to this school in santiago to date a refuge for stranded bolivians but here they're given a mattress and blankets and assigned a classroom where they join the others. mostly seasonal workers who come to chile each year to pick fruit from october to march when summer ends but now it's winter it's raining and cold and like the rest of the government's family hasn't been able to leave home in. bolivia close the borders and declared a quarantine they didn't let buses or anyone cross not even a hospital ivins but 3 months they camped outside of their consulate asking for help but just like thousands of the new whaling cuban colombian and peruvian migrants stranded in chile they've had to depend on charity now that their savings

are gone. we have mattresses food and a roof over our heads now but no thanks to the bolivian government it's abandon us that's what hurts the most moderate who are working in southern chile but they declare lockdowns there too so we had to come here we don't know when we can go home. 3 women have given birth while waiting to return to bolivia. 4 others are pregnant the 300 people here have been told that following dinner no one else will be able to enter after that the plan is to put this whole school under quarantine so that everybody who's in here can be guaranteed to be called with free after 14 days then they will be taken by bus to the border with libya but at this point. there is absolutely no guarantee that authorities there well open the borders to allow these people to go back home. in the last month they've in fact allowed 2000 bolivians who undergone certified quarantines to re enter but

with the number of coronavirus cases in chile now one of the world's highest many countries are understandably less eager to speed up repatriations all this while the number of people stranded here grows but. there is a permanent flow of people we're only just beginning to see the economic effects of this pandemic on migrants and temporary workers. for many who wait isn't the worst part it's the feeling of being trapped and the fear of not knowing if the virus might take their lives or dose of family members back in bolivia before they can make it home to see in human al-jazeera santiago and in the next part of the series will be speaking to cuban migrants who are trapped in mexico and they're helping to care for other travelers that's on tuesday right here of course on al-jazeera. now 2 of the world's biggest option houses are under fire for their efforts to sell african artifacts take

a look at these 2 statues the statues from nigeria and they are among dozens of items on offer at an auction about to begin at christie's in paris and they're valued at more than $280000.00 but several nigerian art historians say they shouldn't be sold a toll alleging they were looted during the biafran civil war in the 1960 s. which christie's denies well so the bees in new york is holding several cells from tuesday including this brass statue that is from gavel and it's thought to be worth up to 4 $1000000.00 is being growing pressure for artifacts to be returned to the countries of origin and the issue has been highlighted by recent black lives matter protesters this point i'm going to address who joins us live from a bridge in and out of it tell us about the reaction of the local communities there where these artifacts have been taken from. well nic there is a lot of anger from local communities a lot of people don't really know that these statues or artifacts was tall and but

there are much more people who are aware of what is happening especially in the last few days the nigerian government in particular said it launched a campaign to bring these statutes back and because they were taken or looted according to one of our during the civil war and there was according to him an international convention about conflicts facts of conflict artifacts which banned them from being auctioned or declared illegal and must be returned to their countries of origin so there is a lot of anger for many people in the in the south east of nigeria who take these tattoos us religious symbols they keep they kept them in shrines and eventually they now see them being auctioned off in places that they don't agree with so there is a lot of anger and confusion as to what is exactly going on especially for people in rural communities who believe in these type twos or idols that they want to be in

their shrines. a lot of people are looking to the government to take action to recover what they would say is rightfully theirs have they done it. well basically the nigerian government in the very last year to complain to return the artifacts that are on display at christie's today back to nigeria and the nigerian official at the museum for commission for museum on the monuments i spoke to a few minutes ago told me that there ought to kristi's challenging challenging them that these artifacts were in fact acquired illegally investment must be returned back to nigeria he said they did not get any response from christie's until the close of business on friday and they had no time to reply to kristie is all they hear now is these things are on sale at christie's today so basically the nigerian government is saying that these start to swell are quite illegally and christians

need to prove that they have been acquired legally before the nigerian government will allow the sale to go on i told him that these artifacts i want to display today and they could be sold today what will the nigerian government do eventually if it got sold he said they will they are currently meeting on this and they will make their position known to the government and it's up to the government to take the matter probably to an international court to retrieve the items it's very much a defense i would interest. now the u.s. state of mississippi is retiring its flag senators that voted to replace it which is the last in the nation to display the confederate battle emblem that many see the design as racist because of its links to slavery in the self the bill now goes to republican governor the republican governor to be signed into law here and it's on the as this report a contentious flag that symbolized america's past connection with slavery soon to

be gone. lawmakers in mississippi voted overwhelmingly to remove the state flag 126 years after it was adopted. the last of its kind in the us to carry the symbol of the confederate states that fought and lost the civil war to maintain slavery in america but you want to be on the right side of the free market and i'm proud of that i've personally tears here today and i'm sure the credibility of the individuals who came out shot it appears that same. for many the confederate flag symbolizes hate my parents and grandparents experience much terrorism and tyranny under that flag as a younger mississippi in a millennial it represents the darker days of our state when our state government and various others used it as a symbol of supremacy. others argue getting rid of the flag is another attempt to wipe out america's history they don't change if you take the money back take.

place. george washington. in 2001 mississippi voters decided by a 2 to one margin to keep the flag is the official state emblem but times have changed. with the death of george floyd in may sparking nationwide civil rights protests highlighting racial inequalities a renewed call to change the flag this time it was successful. but a new flag is just a 1st step in achieving racial justice some argue more is needed in a state where 31 percent of blacks live in poverty compared to 12 percent of whites in the flag of assembly. you know up won't them go now it will leave you to travel that i've faced daily and most african-americans in this state based so that is
