4:03 pm
obligation to be used for treatment in a report on and you can just back out to various katrina, you tried to live from beijing via skype. katrina, michelle ashley says she was unable to assess the full scale of the vocational training centers. what did she say she had achieved in china? well, this is a very measured statement, a so can by michelle bash lay on the last day of a 6 day trip here to china. she started out by talking about the achievements of the chinese government, even before she mentioned she's young. and she was at pains to emphasize that this was not an investigation that she simply did not have time in, in one single trip to investigate the scale of human rights concerns in china. but she said that the main thing she seemed to have achieved was to engage in dialogue with the chinese government. and in this engagement to raise concerns about some of
4:04 pm
the policies that she mentioned, especially it's counter terrorism and anti separatism policies. in shin jung and she talked about how she was able to visit a prison in cash. gotcha. and what she called a v c t, a vocational training center or former vocational training center, and speak with some of the staff members who ran that she said she was able to ask questions about this. and as a result of her visit, um, the best she could do it seems was to raise the concerns and say, although these impulse, these are policies which you say are important to fight counter terrorism. it's important that in implementing these policies that there are no human rights abuses taking place. now she also mentioned that before her trip, she was in contact with the loved ones of week of families who had not been in contact with relative. so a looking desperately for information and she said that when she was injured in dung, she also raised those concerns with the sheer young officials and encouraged them
4:05 pm
to be more transparent and provide information to these families. and she said that going forward, the un would continue to engage with the government in the form of working groups and, and in dialogue as well. not only with a sion dang issue, but a range of other shoes including national security and label. so her rights groups largely to respond to her remarks, katrina i think they're likely to be very disappointed. i think there was very little here. it seemed from her initial remarks to suggest that she had achieved anything beyond bringing to the time is government's attention concerns about allegations of human rights abuses. now for years this trip has been planned. it was 1st initiated in 2018 when it 1st came to light that there were allegations of atrocities including forced labor for sterilization treatment amounting to genocide,
4:06 pm
say some governance and, and some rights groups. and so this was really what some human human rights groups were hoping would be an opportunity for an objective high profile individual to make some sort of assessment or to achieve something when it came to changing the situation, or at least assessing clearly the situation in she's young and it seemed that she has not been able to do that. she said that in one visit would have been impossible . and simply her, her visit as a high profile, a commissioner for the human rights organization, the you and human rights organization, that it was not. it was not the time to conduct a minute ridiculous investigation. and she also made it clear that this was a highly controlled trip and something that we are not surprised by. it seems that she was only able to really speak to people who were approved by the government because of corporate restrictions. and now she does say that she spoke to them with some kanda,
4:07 pm
but then it is very clear that she was not given unfettered access to individuals. she was not able to roam freely around sion, janet and, and make it clear assessment. and also another thing though, would be disappointing, is that many rights groups have been waiting for the un human rights office to release a report into shin john into abuses. and this is a long awaited report. and it was hoped that this visit would contribute to that report. michelle ashley said during the press conference that because this was not an investigation, this was in no way linked even to that report which is going to stun some people. i'm sure. so we may have to wait, she until she leaves china to get a full, a picture of what was achieved. but it seemed that she was very careful, at least in her statement than not to offend the chinese government. and she didn't really come back with anything surprising in terms of findings from the trip of 0. katrina, you're reporting live from aging. katrina, many thanks. 100 and he's really rights group is demonstrating against the

construction of a settlement outpost in the occupied west bank. the police tried to disperse, the protest, this and confiscated, to bulldoze is that have been brought in to demolish. the outpost is where the government evacuated. juris settlers from the area in 2005, but a group of satler's laser returned just recently. the abraham is following developments from novice, according to peace. now, activists we've been speaking to, as they were trying to gather within israel, to cross into the occupied left bank to grow as the legal sentiment out of home as they were bringing cooper those, those with them, they were stopped by the israeli police that arrested 2 drivers off there as well as one activists that according to faith. now they said that under cover police activity arrest the activists as he was going from his home to the point where they were gathering now, even though some of them were arrested,
4:09 pm
they continue their journey into the occupies was back. now they are insides. very true. that they figure something out for them, but they have been prevented by another radio checkpoint from accessing the area we ourselves have also find trouble trying to get into the area. because this is one entrance leaving palestinian car than palestinians towards naturalists in the north of the occupied west bank and leading us to with the outposts mission. but as you can see, there is a lot of traffic. the israeli police had the thing up and we have been putting up a lot of checkpoints to try and prevent palestinians and also is ready cars from accessing their saturdays the weekends, usually the rosa ramsey, but we're seeing them today filled with people. now, work palestinians, they would tell you that they are expecting the settlement out supposed to be evicted. but the problem here is that even when it was evicted in 2000 and then 5,
4:10 pm
they couldn't access it. they couldn't go to their land because the israeli military or their own seizing it, never stop to exist. so for palestinians, even though they're here is radio official saying, you know, we need to abide by the law. we're going to evict the settlement. they're not expecting to return to it anytime soon. 7 0, concession is being held for palestinian teenager sharp. deadlines really forces on friday side, mohammed renamed was 15 years old. christian say he was shot 3 times in the town of al qaeda, which is south of beth, had police and texas of acknowledged major failures in responding to the school shooting in valdez. security officials of been criticized for waiting more than an hour in the school hallway before confronting the 18 year old killer john 100 reports from houston. or really, it was a stunning revelation. it might have caused children their lives. course it was not

4:12 pm

4:14 pm
in ukraine, president vladimir zalinski says the situation on the eastern frontline is extremely difficult. russian forces of advanced in their push to fully control the dumbass region. the areas in red here are held by russia at its separatist allies. the governor of lou hands says that ukrainian forces may have to withdraw from their last pockets of defense to avoid being surrounded in the province. the city of several donetta has seen some of the heaviest fighting russian forces close to fully and circling. it rushes defense ministry says that its forces now control leman ukraine, says though that fighting is ongoing. net the city out is there. a source of jabari joint is not alive from moscow. what's the latest torso from the russian defense ministry? about the operation and on bass. well, according to the defense mystery spokesperson, russian forces have managed to secure at full control of a city of leman. this is
4:15 pm
a town that is just 40 kilometers west of at that's very important. a city of the very don't. yeah, it's good, which still has ukrainian forces hanging on there and it's one of the last pockets of resistance that remains in the logan's region and of dumbass at the defense mystery saying that as of saturday morning, the russian military has managed to secure the town of leman, which is a very, a significant development for the operation that has been ongoing now on it's in 90 . 4th day since in the russian forces entered ukraine in february, because this is a town that has a very important river that crosses it. this is the river of severe ski donuts, which has that town of severe redundancy on its eastern side. and the russian forces have been trying to cross this river to encircle the ukrainian forces in the
4:16 pm
town of severity finance. and this game in the town of leman gives them that opportunity. and this is now seen as one of the main tactics of the russian military. and instead of trying to take large areas of territory, they are focusing their, a military operation in trying to in circles, small pockets of resistance by the ukrainians and trying to surround those troops. so what can we expect mixed after these games by the russian military? well, i think we can expect the negotiation tracks to resume we heard from the russian president vladimir putin. earlier on saturday he held a phone conversation with the french president emmanuel micron, as well as the german chancellor, all of sholtes and the 3 leaders discussed the current at military operation. and vladimir putin said that russia is willing to restart the negotiation process, and it's certainly not a coincidence at, since the military has mates these small gains in the eastern dumbass region,
4:17 pm
that the president would say that they are ready to resume the talks according to the russians, it wasn't on their side that these talks reached the stalemate. they say that they gave the ukrainian negotiators a written proposal on april 15th and they have yet to hear a response. they say that they are waiting for the ukrainians to come back to the negotiating table to try and find a way forward to end this conflict. but certainly they remain very different. a huge demands of the russians are making of the ukrainians and recognition of crimea, which russia annexed in 2014. and now the gains that they've made in the dumbass region will be part of those negotiations. so that russian president saying they're ready to sit back down whether or not the ukranian side will be ready as well, remains to be seen of 0 torso jibari their life in moscow for the moment or so many thanks. news outrageous spread across brazil after

4:23 pm
a dan. this and his success remains uncertain. allison that i'm petty, i'll just the double that that that's returned to our top story. now the, you and human rights commission of shelba ashley has expressed concern about the way the beijing is using anti terrorism laws are against wiggers. she was talking at the end of her 60 visit to china. let's bring in sophie richardson, who's china director at human rights watch. she joined us now via zoom from washington. d secretary with us, sophie michelle bachelor, said she was unable to assess the full scale of the vocational training centers in she and jang, to what extent was this visit more about lobbying the chinese government relationship building that it was about gathering evidence this message press conferences or confirm this seem to suggested that the high commissioners goal was to make nice with the chinese government, rather than to put it in the hot seat for committing some of the worst crimes under
4:24 pm
international human rights law. and to suggest that she was unable to assess the scope and the scale, the visit, i think, is a somewhat disingenuous way of ignoring the tidal wave of evidence that has been published documenting chinese government atrocity crimes targeting weaker than other muslims on other right away sions she seemed quite keen not to offend her host. what should be? should she do next after leaving china to ensure that this visit leads to positive change? well, not if he is even remotely serious about her mandate. she needs to urgently publish the report that her office has put together regarding crimes against humanity and other serious violations against meters and muslim communities. she needs to brief the human rights council and victims and survivors and chinese government violations about all of the fact of her trip. and she needs to commit towards
4:25 pm
a real investigation with a view towards actually holding perpetrators of atrocity crimes responsible. otherwise, this will simply have been a propaganda exercise. the chinese government will revel. she traced a little criticism ahead of this visit to, to the wall. it was obviously going to be quite stage managed, as you say, perhaps propaganda by the but the chinese government was she right. do you think to go to china? she would have been right, had she, prior to the visit, published this report and i think demonstrated her and her offices credibility and their seriousness of purpose in actually finding redress and justice for victims of human rights violations. or if she had seriously challenged chinese government authorities in the press conference, she didn't do either of those things. and the net result really is a visit in a press conference that will not have challenged the perpetrators at all.
4:26 pm
and will have failed to give any comfort to victims survivors. and in doing so, affectively under cut any credibility her office has on the holding a chinese government accountable. there are still steps that she can take, but i have to say this press conference is not give. you believe she'll be tough. ok, so what, what are those steps that she should take? what else should she be doing to ensure change in china? well, many she had other high commissioners for human rights have pursued investigations outside of the country's question. her office started to do that and she been hold back on publishing a report that she had promised she could offer to do a briefing at the upcoming council rights council session in geneva. she could do an intercession briefing. she could reach out to the victims. she should especially
4:27 pm
reach out to the people who appealed publicly to her for support in the run up to the visit and who families were persecuted and kept from speaking out or even leaving their home during the visit. there are all sorts of steps that she can take, but instead she seem to have opted to pursue her. another tooth was dialogue with the chinese government, the sort of which has been going on, mostly bilaterally for decades. you know, and actually we think help contribute to the chinese government sense of impunity to commit crimes against humanity. neither atrocity crimes committing on her watch . and nothing that she has done in the last week will have put a dent in the chinese government's confidence in impunity. good talk to so if you manufacture date, being with us, that's sophie richardson, who is the director of the human rights watch as china division for the 50th day in a row. protested central anchor. according for president,

4:29 pm
. the country's economy is in. but for these protesters here today. 1 as you can see, one banner that says, nor deal, what basically that alludes to is the fact that the roger potters are still pulling the strings from behind the scenes. or they say it's just sort of a new set of faces, but the same old and that these protesters are not willing to put up with that one . the young protest i spoke to said they have basically managed to bring out the general public of shalanda for the 1st time that people are ready to speak up about the injustice about the mismanagement and all of that rather than sit in their comfort zones. and this is a fundamental change in sri lanka as day to day life. so what people say 50 days on is that they will continue their struggle. it's not going to stop here. we're

the palestinian authority says its own investigation established that his ready forces deliberately shot sharing a barclay hitting her in the head while she was trying to escape these ready medias reported that the military has no plans to launch a criminal investigation. the barber al jazeera london african leaders are holding a summit to discuss terrorism on unconstitutional changes to governments. the meeting in equitorial guineas capital fall as a series of crews on the continent. african unions, chairperson nike. saul says that military takeovers are displacing people and creating insecurity, military leaders and 5 african countries of toppled their governments in recent years. let's bring in at m b. so for could a, who's a senior research fellow at africa, asia dialogues, he joins, as far as zoom from johannesburg. good teddy with us. and they've been 5 military coups. as we said in the last 18 months on the continent, military leaders have toppled the governments of molly chad, guinea sudan,
4:38 pm
and becky, no faso. what? apart from expelling these nations, can the african union realistically do? it's a pretty toothless grouping, isn't it? well it is, it lis, until they come up with some punitive measures and against those who, who commit to these crimes, i call them crimes. because coups are crimes, you are likely to see more of these clues taking place space. no deterrence from the one of the leaders throw coups in africa and as a result, we continue seeing the same pattern. so we hope that this time around something much more tangible is going to be made from that meeting. like what? well, they can come up with some kind of some kind of a measure which would close a prevent the the do want to be leaders through from, from, from committing this crime. and one of the things they can do is to, is to try and establish if a force, an african force that will,
4:39 pm
will have powers to be one deployed immediately whenever such crimes are committed in these countries. and they must be given enough power to, to suppress those that seek to destabilize the african countries. but until that happens, and until that force which is should have enough enough power that it must be at least supported bowel african countries happens leg and stimulating that of sin. for example, in somalia, amazon, amazon was quite a very effective force and it did to an extent managed to push back as for bob in somalia. so until we have something similar in our figuring out african countries that you are like that you see that a prince of these crews in other parts of africa. in the meantime, people continue to suffer and are displaced. what could the african union do about the various armed groups operating on the continent which, which are killing people and, and making them flee from violence?
4:40 pm

2 great sides, but real with the greater barcode the, in this competition, do you think they will make it 14 well, i never made prediction center and i never well, but absolutely, you know, liverpool and i slouches in this come in this competition. they've got 6 titles but rail madrid with 13 titles. they know what the team best comparison to them. you know, and it's not just historically, they've won them by recently 3 titles back to back up to 2018 when they beat liverpool in the final 4 titles in the last 10 years. and their, their success in this competition is as spammed 60 is on top of that, they've got co ansolaski, one of the great coaches at one of the few managers to win 3 champions league titles too. with ac milan one with rail madrid. and he could be the only man to win

4:55 pm
but they certainly have been doing that homework on a man who scored 10 goals in the knockout stages. so livable have $1.00 to $2.00 trophies so far, but how much has this season taken out of them whole well yeah, there were going for full trophies and but until losing the premier late title to manchester city by just the points last week. but you know, this will be that 63rd game as a school. they've been together for around $320.00 days since pre season. so it's been a really grueling season and that will be that psychological elements of just having lost butts the route for revenge against madrid off to losing to them in 2018. they've had some injuries recently, but that team is just riddled with stalls as saudi manet. from mohammed sala jordan henderson, who to thought a few years ago would have been talking about him as a big star in the european stage. but he is. and on top of that style quality,
