allowed to see officials about natalie just like a bad place. i've got some policies in the region. i'm struggling with children learning and language and culture in the setting of the 2 communities . the region as being respect, that's a center for human rights. i mean the media in the region. it is important that the notion not diesel, the tremendous potential for society, and then call to contribute to that promotional protection of humans live in the k c r and be on the accident under the national id or a do to be reviewed by the us for meeting july party to national political what? i have a whole china righty 5,

even the many affecting goal of the world today. climate change to peace and security and stability. one of the impact of bending china has a very important role play as a key contributor, emacula regional for we have we, whether the un office and the government was china, including seniors, meeting for discussions, inspected interest at the regional levels, will establish a working group actually make the changes that corporation between my, all the governments will need to be seen as an eva, as well as meeting is one of the rules of federal questions about a specific somebody can be included, but not limited to the public as you know, right, right. the minority business he want to ride commentary. some of these look like to

be shown here, legal to actually human as well as other ways, but it will allow to structure engaging by china on a number of us. and this is especially important that by a country press, there will be to adventure. so the government and number of matters and they're going to have also stated that they will buy senior officials on the also china. i spoke to everyone i many time we do have a national civil society of any people and we can do it if you decide to make progress on the promotion and protection of human rights for all. i hope we can build on this open and frank approach to caring for what it changes in a meaningful and impactful ways. i thank you. thank you. high commissioner for your statement. well, that was said the united nations high commissioner for human rights. michelle

bachelor at the end of her 6 day trip to china. ah, we're going to listening now for a few moments to questions that journalists are going to put her to say this in china rules. oh, i yeah. who the fish. okay, well we wait. shes for this question on session to get on the way. let's bring in. i'll just hear is katrina you who was said listening to that statement from michelle bachelor. she said that to her visit to china. i was not an investigation . katrina that's right. it seems like michelle bachelor was very careful with the words that she use of obviously she speaking from china and there has been some questions raised as to how can did. she can be with a thoughts about her her last 6 days here. but she said that this was not an investigation that it would simply be impossible to do

a comprehensive assessment of china's human rights situation all in one trip. and that her visit, as the high commissioner was simply too high profile to be able to conduct a meticulous investigations or she talked about how she had met with many dignitaries over the course of her time here and leaders in chicago. she says she's also visited a, a, what she said was a educational school and a prison. and she said she also spoke to civil society groups. now the statement she gave was really why reaching she did speak not only about syndrome, but about other issues of concern are here in china as well, about label law and also about a to vets. expressing concerns and the importance of china allowing a, the education of religion and culture and language. when she talked about sin, john, she didn't actually go too deeply into detail. we were trying to listen to for anything

that was specifically that she mentioned. but she said that one thing that was interesting is that, that she did speak to families outside of the country before coming here. and she encouraged the government to put some families in touch with relatives. they may not have been in contact with. and she did say that, according to her assessment, there had been situations of arbitrary detention inch and young in china. something that the government has vehemently denied here. they have said that all their measures inch and jang have been related to counter terrorism and fighting separatism. she also talked about that saying, what, well, while these fighting, these things are very important, they must not be done. and it must not be done in a way where human rights abuses can take place. that she was a measured in her language. she didn't say that human rights abuses were taking place only that concerns were being raised. and she also then went on to talk about

how some working groups would be formed going forward to continue discussions about this. i think she was very much at pains to say that this is not an investigation. this is a dialogue, this is a starting point, and it's important to engage with china. and it does have a very, very big role to play. and we will continue to have these discussions moving forward, but she is also obviously very careful not to offend her hurst country and who has had, who have invited her and had her hair for the past 6 days, or a good trip for the moment. many thanks indeed, we'll keep listening to what michelle beschler has to say at the end of this. so press briefing and anything of note we will, of course, bring to you here on al jazeera, but for now we're going to move on. a taiwanese military has conducted 4 days of exercises. it's released video of surface to where an empty ship missiles being launched from worships naval officials say the annual drills were conducted. the test combat readiness to safeguard the taiwan strait. they jane considered taiwan

to the east in the south is a plan that does seem to be working in rushes favor at the moment, all up and down the eastern front. there are great many small skirmishes as well as larger battles taking place. air strikes artillery. this is continuing to happen in places along the eastern front. there are a few areas we're watching closely because of what they represent if they are indeed a russian victory that's going to be a massive move forward for russia. and a huge setback for the ukranian forces. lima, as you mentioned, is not a very big place. it's a village town, about $20000.00 people in total lived there before the invasion. so it's not a major, a major critical infrastructure industrial area of any kind, but it does represent an important lily pad, important strategic location in the current battle. if li mine, as the russian say, has fallen to their full control, then what they could do is use women as a staging ground to move further south and east to circle troops that are currently fighting for several minutes potentially cutting off

a 1000 plus ukrainian forces for making a tactical retreat, reports of which we have heard this could then be a major victory in moving russian forces from the east, further west to try to take over all of the administrative orders of the don boss. as is president vladimir putin. his plan in this phase of the war. but again, the latest information we have from ukrainian local government about leave on in that area is from 24 hours ago in which they say most of it is occupied by the russians at this time. but they did not confirmed that it had fallen. president's landscape of russia is concentrating all its fire power in the dawn pass georgia as expected. the situation in the dung bath is extremely difficult. the occupiers are trying to achieve the goals they hoped to achieve in the 1st days of the war after february, the 24th, at least before the 100 day of the war. that's why they are concentrated, maximum artillery on reserves. they're using both miss island air strikes. really newly released drum footage shows the extent of damage of the as of style steel

to prevent the horror that took place. absolutely nothing. ironically, due to his presence, no guns were allowed inside the gun convention. the crowd outside the convention is animated. the crowd inside there are thousands of people out here and there messages. the inner reg, you'd go away. the massive throng protested to groups, timing and goals. oh, the hard high profile figures addressed the crowds inside and out. we had to feed you and we will overcome you and we will leave you behind. democratic congresswoman, sheila jackson lee says the n r a meeting is unwelcome in her district. we welcome them. as human beings and visitors, enjoy the city, but cancel your meetings. amid the din of the crowd, perhaps the most sombre demonstration was a child sized coffin,
