detention camps. i have requested some concerns about the application of a measures a k. i think really the impact on the right believers and other than that must be minorities. while i'm unable to assess the scale of a b, c, i rest of the government a lot of independent shall organ faculty, abrasion program, been released by law enforcement official on fees indicators to determine tendencies towards via allegations of the horse and treatment institutions. and with a respect morning from ounces here was katrina you are in beijing. well, this is a very measured statement spoken by michelle ashley on the last over 6 day trip here to china. she started out by talking about the achievements of the chinese government, even before he mentioned she, john,

she was at pains to emphasize that this was not an investigation that she simply did not have time in one single trip to investigate the scale of human rights concern in china, but she said that the main things she seemed to have achieved was to engage in dialogue with the chinese government. and in this engagement to raise concerns about some of the policies that she mentioned, especially it's counter terrorism. and then the separatism policies in she and john and she talked about how she was able to visit a prison in cash. and what he called a v c t of occasional training center or former vocational training center and speak with some of the staff members who ran that. and she said she was able to ask questions about this. and as a result of her visit, the best she could do it seems, was to raise the concerns and say, although these import, these are policy is what you say are important aside 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 families who had not been in contact with relatives. so looking desperately for information and she said that when she was injured in john, she also raised those concerns with the young officials and encouraged them to be more transparent and to provide information to these families. the director of human rights watch is china division. sophie richardson says that the u. n is chief human chiefs. comments have not been tough enough and seem to think after that the high commissioner's 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 international human rights law. and he suggested that she was unable to assess the scope in the scale. the visit, i think, is a somewhat disingenuous way of ignoring the title wave of

evidence that has been published, documenting chinese government atrocity crimes targeting leakers and other muslims on other right away with if she's even remotely serious about her mandate, she needs to urgently publish the report that her office has put together with regarding crimes against humanity and other serious violations against leaders and muslim communities. she needs to brief the human rights council and victims and survivors and chinese government violations about all of the facts of her trip. and she needs to commit towards a real investigation with a view towards actually holding perpetrators of atrocity crime responsible. otherwise, this will simply have been a propaganda exercise. the chinese government will rebel in a place $31.00 people have died after a stam paid in southern nigeria. it happened at a church charity event in port harcourt local media report so that a large crowd turned up ahead of the events. the crush occurred as the venue opened

the ukrainian military that are left fighting in silver donates. so what can we expect mixed all to these games by the russian military? it certainly provides and much more an opportunity an upper hand for the russian negotiators. as we understand, the russian president vladimir putin held an 80 minute phone conversation with the german chancellor, olaf sholtes, as well as the french president emanuel mac, ron earlier on saturday. the call was initiated by the german and the french leader to speak to vladimir putin to try and get some insight as to where things stand for the russians and where the president is thinking of going towards next according to the read out from the kremlin, as the discussions were mainly about the ongoing so called special military

scoring 10 goals in the knockout stages. and all, all, are we what we're not gonna leave that memorial or not, but i'm treating the final naturally getting into the final is a big success for us. we know how demanding this club is and all about the clubs history. we think we have had a very good season in reaching the final has been very important for us. now we are very close to achieving something huge the season and we will give our all to achieve with or girl and put all liverpool have more than one special striker as they going to stop. rails run of 7 winds in a row in the european final, of course is geometry and of course people bring up but which is focused on trying to win this game. we want to win the trophy, we, you know, when you get to the fair, you know, you're so close. but it's the hardest part though to go over than, you know, hopefully we can, hopefully we can be the one celebrating with many more funds travelling than the seats available. tickets are being exchanged on the black market for up to $5000.00 and counting. that's several times the monthly earnings of those. he lived next to

the stud difference in sound, any one of the poorest areas in the country on this bridge. this is the separation between the normal felony i should say with such poor neighborhoods such as this one of whom was on and on the other side. the said the false where barry there are many major international events, such as the final of the youth which empties they, for example, one thing can be to make tickets more affordable for people of something because we are locals. here we welcome the world, but don't count go inside the said, the fall. not staying locally could make getting to the stadium difficult railway because a planning a strike to coincide with south. today's final on the pitch derailing madrid's french troika could be the only way to n 41 years of rail dominance poll, rece out his air at paris. ah.
