2:03 am
violates international norms and standards. let's get more of this one diplomatic to change base. he's standing by the un james, what's your analysis of the report? you've managed to have a quick look at it? it's overall pretty damning by the sounds of it pretty damning report. this is the 48 pages released by the high commissioner. as you say, a long awaited report released at the 11th hour. in fact, just 13 minutes before her term ended. are many of these allegations. yes. we've heard them before about the detention of the week years about crimes of force, medical treatment, torture, ill treatment a. but what's different this time is it comes with the imprint of the un on the report. this is an official you and report is an official you and report from the high commissioner for human rights. i have in the last hour been walking down the corridors of the un managed to find an ambassador of one pretty powerful country
2:04 am
who told me that they think this is really very, very strong stuff in this report. i also found a senior you an official who said that they predicted china would be very angry about this. well, china's already released this statement out of geneva, condemning the report and much of what's in this statement matches what i was told by the chinese ambassador to the un here in new york who i spoke to before the report was published. oh, we half made it very clear to the high commissioner and on a number of other occasions naturally are firmly opposed to such a report. we all know that this report has been a great deal of a pressure from mann or human rights groups as a where's the report? where's the report? the timing of this report being released now will in itself come under criticism. oh absolutely. it's actually more than 3 years since the high commissioner 1st
2:05 am
asked for this report, are 13 to compile this report or it's a year ago that we were told the report was almost ready for release and will be released any time it was back in may. this year that i commissioner went to see things for herself, but she didn't get what she wanted, which was unfettered access to the weaker population. and still the report wasn't published in the end. it was only published on the very last day of her term as high commissioner because after that visit to china in may, she decided not to seek her 2nd term. her term ended on the 31st of august. well, it was 13 minutes before the end of her term, the end of the month that the report was finally released and i can tell you human rights groups are pretty angry about that. pretty angry about the way this was done . but they also tell me that is probably indicative of the pressure behind the
2:06 am
scenes that was coming from china. we have her statement from human rights watch or the i commission is damning findings. explain why the chinese government fought tooth and nail to prevent the publication of this report. james base our diplomatic editor at the you and thanks very much, the update that james will. let's speak to human rights watch and you are to wang, as a senior researcher for the organization. joys been our lie from sky that you heard james just saying there, obviously the chinese fighting tooth and nail or over the detail of this particular report from what you're hearing. you're pats haven't got a copy of the per report right in front of you. but what's your reaction to the initial findings? well, it's a sigh of relief known to say, i mean the report says, ah, the crimes the government has can. and these, his government has committed. i may amount to, ah, crimes against humanity as i think that families and victims feel at least you know
2:07 am
their sufferings and had been recognized by the un. and i think we really need to focus on the next steps, which are, you know, the way if you ask counsel shooting acadia for investigation into their crimes in senior. and i'm sure that that will happen in time. but we need to also talk about exactly why groups like human rights watch yourselves, scholars academics, the dozens of them. they've been scathing of michelle bachelor and her position. and the fact that the statements about this report being released have been delayed and delayed, as james said, you know, for 993 years. what, how much pressure do you think the u. n has been under from the chinese about the detail of the report. i mean, you've got your own research and you're very clear about what you want to say. but do you also understand the pressure that the you enter under as well? well, i think there of, obviously there, there is pressure. valentine is government on the un system,
2:08 am
but if they use the high commission of job to investigate human rights crimes around the world, including china. so we're glad to see at least we partner in place out of the se were when it was with lisa. sooner and i think, you know, what we need to focus is the next steps. what are the next steps? because a report is issued by the you and you say it goes to the human rights commission. what physically can be done at this stage? well, the report shouldn't be presented until you any human rights council, which the cows. so she initiated a full investigation into the situation and now it's a report. but the whole investigation of carries of different kinds of ways. and for governments around the road, they should do their own investigations. they should have sanctioned chinese officials who are complicit in the cra in the abuses. and they should have been on for products made up by 1st labor issue on their myriad of things that governments
2:09 am
can do around the work doesn't organization like yours, human rights switch. now start, you might say another cycle of law being you say, now these governments are all sort of the human rights council. will have to do their own investigations yourselves, will have to present your information, your evidence to each of those to make sure they will vote in the right way when the time comes. yes, i mean we have data, several reports on this issue. and also there are many victims in their family members have been built in our boss. so, you know, a media organizations, these papers have done, you know, a lot of reporting on this issue. so i mean, this is a ongoing fight and i know that chinese government is working harder and pushing back the report to enter. on the other side, you know we, we are pushing where, you know, working on the outside and trying to shake the light and try to hold chinese
2:10 am
government accountable for the crimes you will have to appreciate that i have to play devil's advocate sitting in this chair here, watching the watching world could be wrong. what evidence is that you have that such atrocities are going on? the evidence is including, i would say, you know, 1st and foremost the accounts by the victims and their families and people who, if i flatter dia the camps in china and also the fam, the family member as a whole, still had the manager whose do had their loved ones in the camps, they're telling their stories also, you know, there are evidence provided by satellite images about you humorous wash in a report on a piece app that really reverse engineered. so they are evidenced by people. are there evidence using technologies? how much pushed back to that you're going to get from countries who are allied or friendly to china? i'm thinking of countries like me and mom and the raw hing issue pakistan to
2:11 am
a certain extent is a very close ally of china. rarely comments on the weaker scenario, but it's always very happy to talk about the illegal acts against the palestinians . but when it comes to the week to the weakest, they say nothing. you have quite a battle to face, don't you? when you're trying to deal with these sorts of countries to come on board because it seems that they're not going to right. i mean, the chinese government has, you know, align with a lot simpler countries and to have joint a statement to deny it was going on. king john, this is, has been going on for a long time and there have been b, p, a stay missed by those governments. i mean, china has enormous leverage over these countries because, you know, the fast moves china has in those countries so far. i mean, we need to push, ah, you know, other governments, mostly western governments tune up, you know, push back and kind of statements from the chinese government. any, it's eyes,
2:12 am
which is what happens in the coming weeks is good to speak to you or to on in new york. thanks for your time. keep having the united nations inspectors of arrived in the southern ukrainian city or upper richer there on a mission to prevent an accident to europe largest nuclear power side, which is under russian control. the team travel to ukraine. after weeks of shelling in the vicinity of the portland, racing phase of radiation league treason bo has more than keith. it took around 8 hours for these international atomic energy agency team members to reach the body to region. their plan is to evaluate conditions inside europe's largest nuclear power plant for a few days where well, we are a team of experienced people i bring here, right in the safeguards safety. and we will have
2:13 am
a really good idea of what shilling in the past weeks has. we've concerns or the conditions inside the plant. it's a difficult task, as they will have to evaluate the potential damage the conditions of the personnel and where the safety systems are in place. this event will go into market an expert nuclear disaster. and he says that even though this nuclear power plant is nearly indestructible, there are many things that could go wrong. another, it can be destroyed, probably only if it's a shorter, very special purpose, very powerful nation. so it's going to be damaged simply because of some occasional bumble rockets it falls nearby. the visit is taking place as you quine, staging a counter offensive in the south trying to begin what press involving mcellen's, he says is the liberation of territory is occupied by russia. ukraine. save it for, says,
2:14 am
have destroyed several ammunition people and all major bridges will allow russian troops to cross the dinner for river. everyone here know that this is going to be a long fight, but almost everyone is convinced that ukraine will prevail, armament armor. but like you say, your fancy is a major challenge and ukraine has bravery to make up for the weapons. it lack offenses is quite the challenge and seen it's quite difficult. complicated seemed you need to orchestrate the application of a lot of manpower, a lot of equipment. so you need to, to, to do it to have an effect. you need to, to breach the technical depth of defense. say you need to follow national on, you need to enter the russian possible. russian counter moves still. as i said, chances are quite higher. ukraine's government continues to demand more weapons from its western allies to push its offensive soldiers on the front lines or fighting to defend their country. their time has come to regain the territory. they
2:15 am
have lost base. i will, i'll defeat and give your opinion for ministers of agreed to suspend a visa deal with russia, which will make it harder and more expensive the russian citizens to visit you. countries though, the blocks foreign policy chief maybe announcement after ministers met in prague. latasha butler has moved from paris until now russians wanting to travel to the european union were given. preferential treatment for fees is under an old agreement between moscow in the you. but that is going to be no longer the case. after meeting in prague, the last 2 days you foreign ministers have agreed to make it a lot harder for russians to gain visas to travel because he is going to be a lot more complicated in terms of administration. and it is going to cost a lot more money now that you foreign policy chief burrell said the reason for this . well, there were 2 main reasons. one, he said it's
2:16 am
a question of security. secondly, he said that most foreign ministers agree that it was simply inappropriate. the russians were coming to the european union, a lot of them for leisure, for holidays, shopping to go to the beach when there are people dying in ukraine, when russia's war continues in ukraine. it seems that all you foreign ministers were agreed on the point of making it harder for russians to travel, but there was some countries the baltic states, for example. they wanted a full ban on russians, obtaining visas for the you. but countries like germany and faults were gang scott, they said it would be counter productive. they said it would fuel anti you sentiment in russian. that was a good idea. i should just say though, of course, that all the russians that appear on the sanctions list, of course, already prohibited from travelling in the u. this is very much for other russians, mostly tourists. russia, russia shut down the nord stream,
2:17 am
one pipeline with less than 2 weeks. notice citing planned maintenance. it's the main link, delivering gas to germany and the rest of western europe. the russia has significantly reduced the gas exports. in recent months, dominic came reports from rudest earth, just outside of berlin. this is the port dover compressor turn and only a st. petersburg, where gas meant for german markets is ready for delivery. and yet in these pictures, excess gas is being burned off, which is odd because for months the volume of gas sent to germany via the nord stream, one network has been cut. and for the next 3 days, nothing will come through it. part of planned maintenance says gas problem, part of president vladimir putin politic ng says, germany, and gets we are literally paying a price. these stoppages have been bandied about him, talk shows and political speeches as a rhetorical possibility over the summer in zone. but it's not rhetoric, it's
2:18 am
a better reality for me. this is little brooklyn and that which is why ministers have spent months trying to find gas from other sources. feedback for any part of the german government's coping strategy depends on installations like this one, a gas storage facility at looters, the off outside berlin. here it's already almost 95 per cent full and 95 percent capacity is the target. the german government has set to be reached by the 1st of november, but storage of gas is only one aspect of the solution. one analyst says in the short term, every one is being urged to use as little gas as possible. reduce demand in industry and households where you can and not only industrial processes, but also when and in heats and heating systems, but also when it comes to electricity, man. and that's precisely why the government at the moment is trying to encourage all consumers all sectors to reduce demand because that's what can bring down on
2:19 am
the consumption. in theory, full gas storage will only cover german needs for a few winter months, which is why the government has been building new liquefied natural gas terminals on its north sea coast. so that the ellen g shipments it's been buying in can help cover any shortfall in the coldest months early next year, covering german needs in the longer term involves breaking with russian fossil fuels for ever. dominant cane al jazeera looters, doff syrian state media, says israel has lot. several air strikes, targeting leapers international airport, causing some damage for missiles are reported to have hit the runway, and debbie's believe to contain missiles supplied by iran. no casualties have been reported so far. buckets on zombies, on high alert for ball floods in the south of the country. the industry has been swelling for weeks, threatening another wave of flooding. the latest warning makes the work of relief
2:20 am
and rescue crews even more regions with the plight of flood victims. more desperate, famous ravi has more from the village of per on abandon inside the province. the. this is the faith of hunger. to describe what is happening here as desperation. trivializes the extent of the suffering the we spoke the 1st and as she was headed into the fray, she says she had no choice. and who do go now? oh, how of falling down? don't have changed. we can't shade our children from the sun. houses have been submerged, i swear to god, there was nothing. when our belongings had been washed away, we poor children, sick. they had jump, sitting senior army officers, leading this relief operation. tell us their orders are use a light touch,
2:21 am
help everyone. but making sure the weakest in the crowd, women, children, the sick and elderly don't get pushed to the back of the law. often requires for the. the armies arrived at this village. this much needed humanitarian supplies food mostly. and there's been a scramble at the supply truck because people here know that there is not enough for everyone. but they are still the lucky ones here across the way where the road has been completely washed away. or people cut off from other villages and they are just hoping that someone is able to swim some supplies over to them. who is the most deserving? who should go 1st, seems to be an impossible decision. but there is no reason to worry if god's willing will get something. ok, calmly, your turn and everyone will get hell. reassurances bring peace, but only briefly as the trucks begin to empty,
2:22 am
panic returns and people jump the queue. once again, the survivors say not to do so is to choose death. if you don't get food, dirt and die, what else can you do? the, i don't have any bread. i don't have any water. all the children, the starving. bringing order to the chaos caused by floods is an unenviable task. and one that is only just begun. jane basra b o g, a 0 persona above the village. sin pakistan. incident. mine's been flooding has killed at least 100 people. casala stays in the east is one of the hardest hit areas. 36 villages are completely surrounded by water. more than 30000 people are struggling for shelter, medicine and food. and some parts of the country had been flooded for nearly a month. his balkan has more from jazeera in eastern sit on thousands of
2:23 am
houses have been damaged, not just in castilla state, but inches in a state where we are right now. in fact, you can see behind me some of those damages that has been sustained on houses, where people here forcing them to leave their homes and seek shelters elsewhere on dry land. now, more than 5000 homes have been destroyed here into 0 states alone. since the thought of the rainy season, about 2 weeks ago, many people saying that they have been caught off guard. they've never seen such amount of our torrential floods coming. this of course not coming from the mild river, but coming from up lands from valleys upstream into areas that have never seen such floods before. so people here have been quite devastated, have been forced to leave their homes, lose their properties, many of them saying that they were not able to seek shelter with families because even families, homes have been destroyed. and so they were forced to be out in the open,
2:24 am
waiting for aid and assistance from relief organizations and from the government. the youth justice department says that it has evidence that the former president donald trump's team was hiding classified files. it is flawed home. it also says his advisors were obstructing an investigation to whether he illegally removed top secret documents from the white house official reports. it's a remarkable photo documents recovered by the f b i from it's read on the florida home of former president, donald trump. some marked in bright red or yellow top secret. and if you look closely, others mark h. c. s highly classified papers which could have details on american spies or secret human sources. the august 8th grade came after repeated efforts by the authorities to have trumps team return documents taken. when he left the white house trumps lawyers claimed they had made a diligent search and they had nothing that needed to be returned. but the rate uncovered more than a 100 classified documents,
2:25 am
not just in the storage area at mon illegal, but in the ex president's desk, the filing stating that government records were likely concealed and removed. and that efforts were taken to obstruct the government's investigation. the idea that he didn't know he was holding on to classified information they were sitting in his desk in his office, not just in the storage room. it's very hard to make the argument on true social, the ex president social media channel, he offered up a line of defense tenable, the way the f b i during the rate of might allow go through documents half heartedly all over the floor. perhaps pretending it was me that did it, and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see thought they wanted them kept secret. lucky i declassified. but while running for president in 2016, he attacked hillary clinton's handling of sensitive documents insisting no one was above the law. in my administration, i'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information.
2:26 am
some of what was recovered from on a logo was so sensitive, according to the court filing, even the f. b. i counter intelligence personnel and deal with g attorneys. conducting the review required additional clearance before they were permitted to review certain documents from steam. her father request for a special master and independent set of eyes saying the f. b. i seized documents to which they'd newly go right. but the department of justice says all the documents have now been reviewed that none need to be returned because it belong to the government not to one individual. and that donald trump never declassified them. and that is what could put the ex president and his team at legal jeopardy allen fisher al jazeera, at the department of justice in washington, microsoft and cattle hope teamed up too low. she 1st hypoth scaled cloud data center in dough hall. i saw a bunch of it explains what this partnership means for the country for the 1st time,
2:27 am
but there has launched its own data center where the health of microsoft, it is something which is going to provide users as well as businesses in the flexibility to have that data locally stored as well as quickly accessible to discuss it. we have the head of microsoft other, lana ha, with this. thank you very much for taking the time. whenever we think about data, we think about security. how secure is microsoft network? and why should people trusted? thank you. for is definitely the 1st thing for anyone to adopt any cloud technology out there is they need to trust them. and microsoft trends on trusting, we invest more than $20000000.00. we have an investment of more than $20000000000.00 on cyber security for the next 5 years. we have more than 100 global certification on our cloud, more than any other cloud provide that out there in the world. but also we want to have not only that that,
2:28 am
that as and see we also want to comply with the look at policies and those. and this is why we also are the only cloud provider today that we have acquired the n. i a national information assurance policy certification from the national cyber security agency. and when we think of data centers, we don't think of data centers in the desert. it is going to require a lot of energy to keep it. cool. as you know, that computers need to be pulled down. so why choose cutter and isn't that going to be detrimental for the environment and very cost heavy microsoft data centers. i've been on the highest standards, i'm sustainable in any country in the world. so definitely our data center has been cut that will achieve what everyone 93 percent more energy efficiency and more 9 to 8 and more carbon efficiency than any other traditional data center to they said, telling you that it is going to be more sustainable to have
2:29 am
a data center and other, rather than having it somewhere in europe or centrally to our sustainability standards, have been opening an activity in cut. we're also taking a somewhat measures on sustainability that you will soon need about food for thought. utilizing many of the assets, that's not that has a especially in the environment of products. so definitely every country has it's after some has when some has cylinder has son. some has others, but everybody and every country can contribute to sustainability and would be able for us to design a sustainable data center in any country that hello, thank you very much for that. that is the microsoft perspective on others 1st global data center, which is going to provide localized data as well as secure and easy, the accessible digitization drive, the discount fee is frank, to aspire to work. ah,
