making a healthier world for you. to everyone. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the game this is the live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes wealthier countries are accused of hoarding covert 19 vaccines that may lead people from poorer nations to miss out reports of post-election violence in ghana with both ruling and opposition party candidates accusing each other of voter fraud. a good deal is still to be done britain's prime minister boris johnson says a last minute e.u. trade deal is possible but that his country would prosper even without one. and the

u.n. says that more than 80000000 people worldwide i've been forced to leave their homes in the pandemic has only made it worse. and in sports after a stunning show support against racism footballers are to continue their match and paris. champions league match against turkish side the shock share will resume a day after players walked off in protest against an alleged racial incident. the number of corona virus infections around the world is soaring and a global rush to get hold of emerging vaccines but there are concerns that less well off countries are being left behind campaigners from the people's vaccine alliance say that wealthier nations have hoarded vaccines 3 times the size of their populations and it says that that means 9 out of 10 people in 70 poor countries

will be able to get covert 19 bank seeds next year the middle east's worst affected nation iran has its own difficulties in procuring vaccines iran's president hassan rouhani says that u.s. led sanctions are to blame let's go live now to teheran and to syria's assad bacon tell us more said the sanka to vaccines that the procurement of vaccines not fall outside the scope of sanctions. well apparently into the u.s. sanctions medicines are are exempt but since donald trump pulled a united states out of the 2015 nuclear deal and impose sanctions on iran especially on iran's oil and banking sector iran has struggled to purchase make international purchases and the covert facility was set up to help poor countries give get them access to those vaccines now it seems like iran is now saying that because of the of the sanctions and not having the ability to make those international transfers this struggling to get hold of those vaccines earlier today

president hassan rouhani was speaking and he took aim at donald trump and the u.s. sanctions. and our people should know that what ever we want to do when we want to import medicine or import equipment or vaccines we have to curse trump a 100 times as he has created so many problems in annoyances a simple job that would normally be done with a phone call a message or swift transaction takes weeks or months to complete and the whole country has to work together to transfer money from one place to the other just to buy medicine in the bunch spending their last days of this sinister teenie at the white house our vets work it. earlier in the year iran did apply to the international monetary fund for a $5000000000.00 loan to help them tackle the covert pandemic now that was rejected in iran blamed the united states could be that sometimes countries and companies are afraid to do business with iran because of those sanctions even if they are not

directly impacted earlier in the year iran purchased a flu vaccine from france and the that was held up in spain we believe in the health minister said that consignment was stopped by the united states so they actually blame the united states for stopping that flu vaccine getting to iran now iran did hit 1000000 kroner virus infections earlier this month is the worst hit country in the middle east but officials here say that they are working on their own covert vaccine and if trials are successful they hope to roll that out in early summer 2021. reporting live from tehran i said many thanks indeed. latin america has been one of the hardest hit regions by the pandemic it has 8 percent of the world's population and 30 percent of covert related deaths and there are numerous challenges in procuring vaccines let's go live to the banks of mexico city as manuel right below is there for us tell us more about those challenges manuel. if you want to have

a good visualization of what the contrast is between the countries that are accused of courting the vaccine in countries that may not have access to the vaccine even even into next year the duke global health innovation center has this visualization of countries like the united states for example that the postulated this way of 10000000000 doses you have 10000000000 doses of the vaccine that exist of the vast majority of this of those doses have already been secured either through official or unofficial contact by wealthier nations so the big question is where does that leave the low income countries specifically parts of latin america places like central america parts of south america where we know that there are the outbreak is especially critical but they may not have access to this exit now here in mexico just on tuesday morning the government announced its plan to roll out phase one of the vaccine this includes 125000 doses of the pfizer back scene that would be

rolled out at the end the last days of december and into and into january the government recognizes that there will be limitations they've been very transparent about saying that this will have to be done strategically to make sure that those that are most vulnerable are quote unquote at risk will have a higher priority of getting that vaccine but the deputy health minister here in mexico also pointed to what he calls a harsh reality in the country which is social inequality recognizing that not everyone has equal access to health care and but says that the government will guarantee that everyone in the country will have equal access to the vaccine for free as supplies are made available unfortunately for other parts of latin america i mean look specifically suits in countries like one model of wonderous unsolved or nicaragua where reporting on the 'd gravity of the crisis in the health emergency there has been very opaque there are no guarantees there are no assurances even

when the vaccine will arrive so there is an expectation is that for many people in the region it could be into 2022 or even 2023 before people begin to receive their immunizations. i was there as manuel ruppel reporting live from mexico city and while many thanks germany's chancellor angela merkel is calling for tougher coronavirus restrictions there after the country reported its highest daily death toll since the pandemic began they 600 more people have died tied to rules of come into force in the southern state of bavaria the infection rate has been surging across germany despite weeks of national restrictions officials recorded nearly 30000 new cases on tuesday merkel has called on all germans to do their part to combat the virus. the most important tools that we have are not the closures and the restrictions and the prohibitions

and the police controls which are necessary the most vital tools we have to successfully combat this virus are the people and for each individual to behave responsibly and to be prepared to contribute. british public health officials are advising people with a history of serious allergies not to take the fire as a bio and tech coronavirus vaccine the warning comes after 2 frontline health workers suffered serious allergic reactions to the job the u.k. became the 1st western country to start a mass vaccination program on tuesday. it with the news out from out 0 still to come on the program the u.s. supreme court makes a ruling on donald trump's latest attempt to overturn the election result. a chilling vision of the future human rights watch reveals how china is using big data to profile weaker muslims for arrest. and in sport find out why this former england rugby player plans to take legal action against the sports far will be here

with cash a little later. 5 people have been killed in post-election violence in ghana police say that 61 incidents of violence have been reported since monday's presidential and parliamentary votes for the president made opposition candidates john mamma accuse the incumbent of trying to rig the election president of foods are those teen has released an official results suggesting that he's leading the race live now to got his capital of a series of addresses there so you've got both the governing and opposition party candidates accusing each other of vote fraud here. this has been going on since election day there were issues on election day about the procedure of voting then immediately after the voting there were complaints

about the way the results were being collated or sorted out and then we've seen overnight protest celebrate 3 rival celebrations in the 2 leading candidates political party headquarters both of them are claiming to have won many of all of them claiming also to have majority in parliament so what we're hearing right now is that in time ali there's been protests going on by the opposition party claiming that there was some irregularities and attempts to subvert the will of the people here in the capital accra who we understand that there has been an incident at the headquarters of the electoral commission and we've seen in the last few minutes also a security patrol that include the military the police and other player and military organizations trying to ensure that there's no complete breakdown of law and order in across all those areas where we know to some incidents. so when do we get

a result in this election. well basically initially the election commission promised to deliver results in the last 24 hours after the last bomb that was cast then late yesterday it denotes that it would be possible shifted and also in time to today without specifying when exactly we've been here since morning on my left is the venue of the announcement but we've been here since the early hours of the day and nothing is happened activities now has moved to the election commission while over the past 30 minutes or 45 minutes have been some incidents that the security agencies are trying to control so we expect to be announcement to be today but exactly one nobody knows until when the election commission decides to make that announcement we were told initially that there are

only 2 regions that whose results are being awaited and since then there's been no communication from the election headquarters in between we've seen reactions from the opposition parties like you said in the introduction that they accusing the ruling party and the election commission of try to rig the vote so. there was a response from the ruling party and the election commission saying that they are not trying to rig this election was a series of address reporting live from goddess capital across many thanks indeed. britain's prime minister barak johnston says that no leader could accept the post brings it trade deal with the european union is currently offering he's been facing questions in parliament just before he's due to fly to brussels that he'll meet with the european commission chiefs live on the land for dinner they hope to reinject some energy into negotiations that have stalled on and off now for months

. our friends in the e.u. are currently insisting that if they pass a new move in the future. with which we in this country do not compile don't follow suit then they won't be going to magic right to speak to punish us and to retaliate and secondly they're saying that the u.k. should be the only country in the world not to have control over its. i don't believe it's because those are terms that any prime minister. should act. in a moment we'll get the view from brussels with paul brown and not speak to go who's in london one of the u.k.'s demands that. well it really comes down to. those 3 points the fishing rights as well as the competition rules. in terms of the single market and also what happens in disputes

in the post brics it. shipped with the european you know in terms of fishing it's very symbolic because it was a central part of believe campaign and sort of very symbolic of its fights and reclaim sovereignty and this is what it comes down to for the british government all about sovereignty perhaps even at the expense of doing an effective trade deal there but the issue with the fishing even though it's only 0 point one percent of the british economy and really worth a very tiny amount of that if they really want the right british fisherman to have 1st dibs as it were to fish in british waters that is what they are asking for in this to the u.s. instead asking for its own. nations the member states to be able to have the rights to fish in british water says well. also when it concerns the whole level playing.

field as in what happens with that when companies in british companies are trying to trade in the european union the european union wants to have. british companies having a sort of limit to state subsidies but again it's a question of sovereignty for the british government they want the right to be able to use what subsidies that kept to prop up any british companies and of course disputes as well the u.k. doesn't want to be what it says unfairly targeted with tariffs if there is a dispute with brussels so what happens if what's being dubbed by the press the last supper if the 2 leaders decide that a deal is not within reach. well really it does come down to this moment if they really cannot find any common ground between the 2 sides there but it does look as if the u.k. will be hurtling towards a disruption of

a no deal and even though there have been preparations put in place much as possible and there will be some kind of of own service to the questions that businesses and all the money fracturing industries have been asking in terms of what it's going to be like it will be incredibly disruptive we are likely to see also in the u.k. changes in prices a good score far more expensive leigh as well long queues of lorries trying to get goods in and out of the country as well it will affect also the issues of medicines too because of course the with especially with medicines that have short shelf life as well that is going to be a point of extreme concern as well now even though coronavirus vaccines they have there are special preparations in place for that things and for example hopes for cancer. medicines as well they're going to be incredibly important too so it really is going to be looking like

a very disruptive time and it be very difficult to see exactly how the u.k. manages to navigate its way out of it course also in the economy that has been drastically affected by the current virus pandemic there are many thanks let's go to brussels and officers paul brown is there how are all of this being viewed there in brussels paul. well with a huge amount of pessimism i have to say michel barnier the european union's chief negotiator has been briefing various stakeholder bodies of the e.u. ambassadors on monday he's been speaking to another committee today and giving a very gloomy assessment of the room for compromise on all of this now this dinner that will take place this evening we're not sure what time yet the time seems to be moving around from 7 pm local that's or up to 8 30 pm local kind of depends on the you believe maybe they're trying to keep us all in the dark for the time being but the reality is that it's very very important because it could go on one of the

subrace other they agree that after the negotiators banging my head against the wall for so many weeks and months there needs to be some political compromise and only boris johnson live on the land or in a position to give that and that would send the negotiators back to the negotiating table in the coming days not many weeks left but certainly coming days to try to hammer out a final deal before the december 31st deadline the alternative of course is that they realize that too far apart on that there isn't any political middle ground that they can find there are no compromises that they can achieve on things like the level playing field and that raises the bleak prospect that they will. however reluctantly have to agree that there is no deal possible and irish foreign minister simon kokanee for example said today failure is a distinct possibility so the mood here is pessimistic paul brennan live for us in brussels many thanks gene pool. the u.s. supreme court has rejected a last ditch attempt by republicans to reverse joe biden's electoral victory in the

battleground state of pennsylvania the state's result has been certified in favor of joe biden and in a one line statement the supreme court refused to call that certificate process into question it details an attempt by donald trump's republican party to have as many as 2 and a half 1000000 votes dismissed lives out of washington white house correspondent kimberly health that is for us the president has been tweeting saying that actually the pennsylvania supreme court thing was nothing to do with him it's texas that he's concentrating on right now. yeah and the president was tweeting even as you were reading my intro there the latest one and there's been a series a half dozen you can tell that the president's not very happy about how that pencil can't be a new case was ruled by the supreme court a one sentence ruling no dissent even from his own appointees 3 of them in fact and

he is really pinning his hopes on this texas case let's take a look at the tweet that references that case the president saying this was not my case he's talking about the pennsylvania one as has been so incorrectly reported the case that everyone has been waiting for is the state's case with texas and numerous others joining it is all very strong all criteria met how can you have a presidency would have vast majority think the election was rigged now let me just parse some of that. when the president talks about all states joining or all others joining what he's talking about is this texas case involves a number of states pennsylvania georgia michigan and wisconsin what donald trump is trying to do with this case is have the supreme court rule to overturn those victories for joe biden in those states in other words the electoral college when it meets that they cannot cast their ballots for him essentially trying to postpone it if you will or postpone the vote for joe biden it would be

a major turning point if the president campaign was able to pull this off of the supreme court but so far it hasn't exactly been successful in the courts just to give you some perspective there's been more than 50 court cases now in 8 states and every single one of them for the most part has failed so why the u.s. president believes that this case will be successful is unclear he said in his most recent tweet is we're going to try to error that there's massive evidence there are tapes there affidavits but the previous lower courts have said. no there hasn't been widespread evidence there has been isolated evidence but not enough to overturn the outcome of the election so the us president clearly thinks he's still got one more trick up his sleeve if you will and is pinning all his hopes on this i can tell you though it's not just the president it's tens of millions of americans

that also believe this because there have been played on conservative networks videos of people pulling suitcases out from under tables but again even if that is all true what the courts have been saying is that this isn't enough to overturn the results the other thing the court said was that if you have problems with these mail in ballots you could have taken this up before the november 3rd election not after you found out that you lost in these ballots were counted so again this is a long shot hope of the president but by the number of tweets you've been sending in the last couple of hours it's clear that he really believes he has won and is counting on the supreme court to deliver him a 2nd term a white house correspondent kimberly how it could live for us in washington many thanks kimberly one of the leading members of the palestinian liberation organization had on a show we has submitted her resignation. strongly was the highest ranking female politician in the palestinian authority the p.l.o.

executive since 2009 let's go live now to ramallah to seriously doubt aber him is the need to why has had on a shrug be resigned. we still do not have a reason we just received a statement from her office confirming what we've been hearing now for a few days about her physic nation she didn't specify the reasoning behind it but said that she had met with the president on the 24th of november and she told him that she was going to be resigning and she followed that with that it and resignation the following day but that the president has answered that he is going to be deferring her resignation to the palestinian central council this is the council that has really appointed ashrawi in 2018 to the membership of the executive committee of the palestinian liberation organization and she said that she wasn't she agreed with president abbas that they were not going to be talking

about their resignation however news surfaced to the media and a lot of local media and even arab media organizations have talked about that so that has encouraged her to release this statement and she said in the statements and i'm going to be quoting i believe it's time to carry out that acquired reform and to activate the p.l.o. in a manner that thrift stores standing and rules including respecting the mandate of the executive committee rather than its marginalization and exclusion from decision making and she said in the statement that she considers her resignation effective. immediately. there are a lot of people who are saying that maybe she has resigned because of the day after thought that heart he was a needed palestinian official who passed away just a couple of weeks ago suffering from put on

a virus related complications and it seems that there has been some sort of a disagreement at least as far as some sources tell us about who is going to be leading after he had been responsible for 2 main important positions in the palestinian liberation organization including him being secretary general of the p.l.o. and also handling the negotiations issue so it's really a wait and see to see who's going to be replacing at a cost but it could be one of the reasons why i should i was resigned to abraham live for us in ramallah when he thinks neda ethiopia's prime minister i'll be ahmed is shifting his focus from war to the economy isn't all here is a highway on the border with kenya alongside president who can answer to leaders open the my all a one stop border post to kick start of these 2 day visit to kenya speaking to the

press they both highlighted the importance of security in the region just like the infrastructure we should work on peace is the key to this year. because this is the foundation for everything we have aspiring to transform the life of all people if we eliminate it. and only live from this region you can see how. this people can be transformed it into one family one country one people with great joy and call police. but the un's humanitarian chief michelle bachelet says that declarations of victory in the northern tier grey region a premature she says the crisis is ongoing and is increasingly concerned about civilian casualties this is

a question of. i think it's really warring umbrella tie and i have as i had warned it's spiraling out of control with our calling impact on civilians. well get a weather update next year i was there and then turkey's president's weighs in all to both sides a band of champions league football match of accusations of racism. and i'm the best hawkinson a golf tomba could i read to find out next how this once bustling town attracting migrants looking for work has become a major transit point for migrants trying to make it to europe. the forward a one world champion hopes to be back for the final race of the season following what he says is one of the hottest weeks of his life.

how i once again it's quite down i see now across the middle east after last week's run the weather still some bits and pieces a cloud around turkey in the black sea over towards c. caspian sea you might just catch a drop of rain it's a just up to town rot over the mountains in iran but for most it is dry and finite freshening up here in doha temperature is $25.00 celsius with that just blowing across the region we go on into friday could be freshest the $23.00 degrees grab you have brought peace them abt it was positive rain but more importantly do grab a sweater it is going to feel a little on the cool side then dry and fine across northern parts of somalia meanwhile plenty of showers there into the democratic republic of congo some showers that see into angola and we see some heavy rain recently into zimbabwe just around the rift valley mall in parts of my exam be could see some showers as well

and not just some what's the weather just coming back into that eastern side of south africa for a time madagascar will be rather unsettled as we go on through the next couple of days some heavy downpours coming in here and rather lively showers there was some thunder it is likely to cause a little bit of localized flooding as we go on through the weekend. frank assessments you've got colleagues on the ground in the canaries what is the situation there's only one doctor and one nurse for 2200 people informed opinions how big this foreign policy in the early stages of a bi ministration he comes into office with a huge amount of experience in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines how will a place like give live get the vaccine when there's no money and all the rest of rich countries are fighting for it inside story on al-jazeera covert 19 is grounded

global travel for countries dependent on tourism like kenya the effects are devastating. livelihoods vanish people in power reveals the hardships facing affected communities and the efforts being made to protect wildlife from the threats of increased production in the wake of the pandemic kenya the unfathomable virus on al-jazeera. again this is that he was on from out 0 adrian figure here in doha the headlines campaign is a warning that people in poor countries will miss out on the curb at 19 vaccines

next year because well think up months a hoarding supplies the people's vaccine alliance says that some have enough to inoculate the populations several times over. at least 5 people have been killed in post-election violence and gun police say that 61 incidents of violence have been reported since monday's presidential and parliamentary vote official results are not yet been released britain's prime minister boris johnson says that no leader could accept the post breaks a trade deal that the e.u. is currently offering johnson's face questions in parliament hours before he's due to fly to brussels for last ditch talks. one on our top story concerns about the global distribution of corona virus vaccine here's how rich countries are hedging their bets a study shows that canada has enough vaccine doses to inoculate 5 times its population with the option to expand to 6 times that's followed by the us and the u.k.

by comparison india has enough under 60 percent of its people brazil 47 percent existing inequality in both countries has been blamed at least in part for the severity of the outbreaks and finally there are countries including lebanon whose government is almost bankrupt it has only enough to vaccinate 15 percent of its population bangladesh can cover just ny and la video this is a nobel peace prize winner and chairman of the eunice center which is one of the groups spearheading the people's vaccine alliance he says the companies producing the covert vaccines are actually breaking with precedent. the precedence is like value of x. it quits on a stock the inventor of the many makes it he declared this is it people's backs and this is this is like a sunshine nobody can proceed under sunshine so this should be belong to all people so this is that there is a tradition that it's 88 dixon they became free goods to the peasantry goes to so

this is a condition of their violating the tradition yet coming back as it was a fight between how much they can extract with just like the debt and in danger of this and human being or good reason and dangerous places because of the global warming now you're endangering it for any of that direction and how come much communicate this is this is the time to reflect where that life is something to be exchanged for money or not this is some occasion where you don't go for the profit making you don't share things with the people can be set right so we're only saying that you make it the public good so that there is no pick them drag there's no direction property tax so that people can be producing it and you should be helping this procedure never done controlling it that negotiating it well who is the best how is bigger and then the rich countries buying up several times more than they need it 5 times more they don't support as many population you have in the meantime the poor countries don't have any access to anything and what have i am afraid of

this will create a boston market for fake vixens now that the back since i'm not i'm not available to large number of people 90 percent of the people are still not connected with the banks and. the un refugee agency estimates that the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide has surpassed 80000000 the number of forced from their homes to use a conflict in human rights violations is increased by roughly half a 1000000 over the past year as new conflicts emerged with around 46000000 internally displaced persons and 30000000 external refugees the u.n. says the international community is failing to safeguard peace and global measures to curb the spread of covert 98 of made safety harder to reach during the 1st wave starting in april 168 countries restricted their borders with 90 making no exceptions for asylum seekers. joining us now matthew salt

in london he's a spokesman for the united nations refugee agency good to have you with us matthew this report makes for depressing reading to say the least what's your take on it. well it's become something of a carousel of mystery as you mentioned the number of forcibly displaced people has risen again to 18000000 people that's more or less doubled in a decade and the numbers of refugees have risen and the numbers internally displaced are also up and what we've really seen this year is that coded 19 has layered an emergency on top of an emergency for refugees and for displaced people because they are 85 percent of them are in developing countries low income countries and they are very reliant in many in many cases on informal work and of course the economy has been greatly affected by cope it so there are huge socio economic implications from out of it but also we're seeing rises in gender based

violence we're seeing children left out of school so not only is there the health crisis but there's also an exacerbation of other issues that displaced people are facing these are the most vulnerable people in the world in many cases so what's to be done about it the report says that the international cuisine is failing to safeguard peace and that global measures to curb the pandemic haven't helped the pandemic though is beyond the control of the world powers is that. absolutely i mean one thing that can be done of course is to provide funding so that refugees displaced people can try to find a way through this crisis and ourselves and our partners in different u.n. agencies and other n.g.o.s did make a large appeal just the other week for $35000000000.00 to cover $160000000.00 of the world's most vulnerable people so that's part of the solution but also as you

mentioned bringing peace because the secretary general of the u.n. antonio terrorist did make a call on the international community to to make peace to put the guns down earlier this year and if that could happen that would help to resolve a lot of the new a problems that receding for example if you take assad hell the region of africa we've seen we now see around 2000000 displaced people may have a series of different conflicts and violence erupting across that region so if we can get to a point where we can get more peace processes up and running we'll be in a much better situation but are donors going to dig deep enough into their pockets with all of the other financial obligations that they have right now. well of course it's understandable that many countries are focusing on their own populations and their own economies and of course that goes without saying having

said that we're only as strong as our weakest health system and if we allow problems to extend to exacerbate in different parts of the world at some point we will feel the impact across the world and you can see that in areas like europe for example where you're seeing people on the move coming particularly from africa but also from the middle east and trying to get to europe and there are a number of causes behind that displacement and violence of course are important ones but also levels of poverty rising and climate change good stories a penny thanks to you for being with us matthew saltmarsh the from the united nations refugee agency. spain's government has begun to return home refugees and migrants arrived in the canary islands more than 22000 people have reached the islands this year about 8000 alone in just over the reports from the village of video cotto and senegal. region. i'm

a do so i had never seen the ocean before he stepped on took boat hoping to make it to europe a land he saw filled with opportunities he cannot find at home but the coward are from tom burke who was caught by spanish coast guards and sent home empty handed to his family his son saadi and mohammed streams to play professional football in spain gone are his daughter my mood his hopes to study medicine in europe and i do feels like he failed his children. i wanted to head to carl's voice farm in spain maybe that would have changed my life in my children's lives. in unprecedented wave of illegal migration from west africa to europe spanish coast over 600 migrants have died trying to make it to the canary islands this year among the dead are many school age teenagers that does a professional high school students learn to become electricians in a country where most have no electricity the students say they are learning skills

for jobs they cannot find in senegal and then there is this false rumor that. dying of the coronavirus. jobs vacant for young african men to take. the school principal says every week a student disappears attempting the journey looking for a better future. often there is someone in their village or neighborhood that witnesses someone that made it to europe and succeeded in building a new house and being successful and that motivates young people to follow suit. among those that have made it to the other side is my do so is neighbor cherno so he was a young man when he took the boat to the can. after spending 12 years in the suburbs of madrid selling flowers he came back to the home he built to celebrate his wedding with his 2nd wife something he would have been able to afford had he not gone. if he stayed. just

enough to survive you will never be able to build this once in europe everything becomes possible. to leave loved ones in order to make their lives better clean not war or poverty but in search of a dignified life despite his failed attempts to reach europe it is a pursuit so is not yet ready to give up nicolas hawke al-jazeera southwest senegal and also made it system of mass surveillance and detentions supercharging beijing's repression of the country's muslim minority that's according to a new human rights watch report the travailing more details about how china's predictive policing program works the research is based on a leaked list of a base 2000 we could detainees apparently flagged by the system all of them were sent to political education camps in china's western changing region by reverse engineering the system researches identified criteria used by an algorithm to flag

its targets the analysis suggests the majority of flagged for lawful behavior that includes traveling being young or acting suspiciously the report says the system operates independently from china's judiciary leaving its targets with no way to challenge the algorithms conclusions beijing has dismissed the human rights watch report as an attempt to smear china's reputation. as the so-called human rights group you mentioned has always been full of prejudice and stirring up trouble the words are not worth refuting for more on this we're joined by human rights watch is chief executive executive director i'm sorry ken roth good to have you with us but just before we talk about what's in this report what do you make of china's rebuttal of it. well it wasn't much of a rebuttal was it they say it's not worth refuting because they can't it's all accurate it's based on their database i mean somebody leaked an official database

containing 2000 names of illegal or another target muslims who were detained we simply didn't analysis the database of course they can't refute it because it's their own words that basically show how little it takes to be detained if you are a muslim in china and you know the chinese government likes to say oh this is just a counterterrorism campaign we're just going after criminality but what this database shows is that basically they're going after islam because if you look at the how little it takes to get detain them you mention a few of them in your introduction but you know there was one man for example who was detained because in the mid 19 eighties he studied the koran and in the early 2000 he let his wife wear a veil that was it you know he was just a practicing muslim back got him detained and we see this kind of thing over and over and over again if you study or preach or read the koran without official state

permission that gets you to taint and what's what's interesting is that this is not only revealing about how much this is not about criminality this is about islam but it also shows really this horrible automation of the detention process because you know you mentioned is this app is hand held out that human rights watch reverse engineer which police officers and change and used to in court virtually 11 pages of data on every muslim and then there are is a big data analysis done to decide ok what are the suspicious criteria but you know suspicion means somebody from abroad called you or you travel from your video edge to another village or your yacht as you mention it's nothing you know and basically this is just a war on you know anybody with any by. and see any degree of belief islam they get detained and detention means you were you know under pressure you are really going to forced reeducation until you abandon islam and you abandon your culture so

that's what's going on here and to me what surprising is you know not that beijing doesn't want to refute this because it's all accurate what's surprising to me is how silent the muslim majority countries of the world have been that's beginning to change just in october 3 muslim majority countries did condemn what was going on and a dozen or more others you know stopped backing china but the organization islamic cooperation 57 nations has not officially spoken about this and the majority of their members have not spoken about it ok so they've been there's been very little response by governments a lot of people watching they'll be horrified this sounds like the plot of some dystopian science fiction movie but it is actually happening what what can what can we regular people do about this. well i mean you're right this is completely dystopia and i think we have to worry because what's going on in changing today

will inevitably spread to the rest of china tomorrow and then to china's friends around the world but i after that this is an effort to use you know highly intrusive surveillance massive data collection and so-called predictive policing which you know tries to put this but mirror of scientific ness on the repression but it's really just about it a mass repression for whatever the government wants to suppress in this case so you know i think what we need to do is to recognize that you know even though china is big even though china is wealthy even though everybody is afraid of economic reality issues in china that there is safety in numbers that have governments ban together china cannot retaliate against the rest of the world we saw this summer at the u.n. general assembly in october where 39 governments banded together to condemn what's going on in change and that was almost double the number of governments that ever previously spoken together on the topic we need to continue that trend and

particularly the muslim majority governments and. you know the citizens of those countries should say how can you be allowing this to happen to the muslims of the world this is a direct attack on islam why my government are you not saying anything that's the cost of goods to which is so many thanks indeed for being with us ken roth executive director of human rights watch. turkey's president is blaming what he calls a racist trend in france for an incident during a champions league football match players from istanbul. and paris such a man walked off the pitch on tuesday night a player from the turkish club accused a match official of using racist language football body usa for is investigating that is live for us in paris and to tell us more what steps are in place to make sure there isn't a repeat of this incident and what is being made there in france about president earlier ones intervention. was been

a lot of reaction to this war caused by those to champion the champion league teams on tuesday night from that match that played out here in paris i mean mainly from of course your way for your a surf or ball governing body who have said that they are launching a full investigation into what happened and normally they would actually stop a fine on the teams for refusing to play but in this case they have made an exception we've also heard from some of the football players who are involved here see paris such a mass stars such as clinton backpay and they mark who took to social media to say no to racism french government ministers of also weighed in the french sports minister saying that racism cannot be tolerated in sport and she showed full solidarity with the 2 teams and then these comments from the turkish president

everyone who commented shortly after the incident on tuesday evening he said that there was no place for racism he condemned any form of racism but then he added to that today on wednesday by adding comments saying that this is in some way linked to france his comments that so this is all part of a culture of racism in france well it is a very tenuous link because in fact the person who is alleged to have made a racist slur the referee is remain ian and the fact that this match was taking place in france is the only link really to france you might say but everyone's comments are certainly being seen here in the context of his dispute with the french president emmanuel makarov the 2 have been having a war of words for many months now for some time over a series of issues that they disagree on the eastern mediterranean libya all issues of course i have nothing to do with football. the special butler live for us in
