hi, by your another medical supplies to those who are injured with detailed coverage, a plastic container of their try on feel that demand for bag from the around the world, even as a new king, a new to seen his praise. loy a loyal b, frank assessments. these heat waves we're seeing now, are they a product of global warming? we will take more than that. what is happening is that climate change it making them were in depth analysis of the days headlines inside story on al jazeera. ah, china's detention of muslim league is in chin jang may constitute crimes against humanity. according to a long delayed un human rights report. trans ambassador to the un towels al jazeera, the report is a fabricated lie. aimed at undermining the country. stability. ah

ha ha ha robin, you're watching old. is there a life my headquarters here in doha? also coming up? do not drink the water. i wanna be clear. please do not drink the water. the capital of the state of mississippi is enduring a 3rd day without drinking water. after a treatment plant failed, the blood survivors scramble the aden bar, gastorm waters recede. but fairs of water born diseases grow. ah, welcome to the program, the out going you and human rights chief has released a damning report into china's alleged human rights violations against the weaker population. just minutes before her term ended, we shall bachelor,

says beijing's arbitrary and discriminatory detention of wiggers and other mostly must them groups and chin. jang may constitute crimes against humanity. chinese present treating pain as he criticized over a major crack down against the weakness around a 1000000 people were placed in prison camps. now the report released by the united nations found that week as and the other muslim groups held in detention cans have been subjected to torture or ill treatment. incidents of abuse include force, medical treatment and sexual and gender based violence. the report goes on to say that china is far reaching an arbitrary discrimination of the week is violates international norms and standards on the plan to get the james base that the united nations in new york. he has more on the report and how it was received 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. ah, 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 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, john is 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 cushions that we are from the opposed to such a report. we all know so well, that is the so called the syndrome etha hill is completely here, is, are completely fabricated. ly ought of political motivations. and its purpose definitely is to undermine china's stability. and to abstract a, china's her allotment and her the human rights high commissioner, should be i should stay in independent and her should are white or eh, interfering in china's intern affairs and shall not resigned her dear politics pressure of a number of western countries. it was reminding you this report was 1st

commissioned over 3 years ago by the high commissioner a year ago, we were told that it was almost ready about to be published, but it wasn't. then in may, she went to go and see the plight of the weaker people herself on a visit to china where she had been promised unfettered access. she didn't get that there was criticism, she decided not to stand for a 2nd term. and so her term ended on the 31st of august, while it was just 13 minutes of the end of that term that this was finally published. and some human rights activists say that's an indication, the pressure that was going on behind the scenes from china. james bass, i let sir join join tad ross. she's the head of the un office at amnesty international. and joy's me now from new york. good. have you with us? missed address on the program. i mean a much anticipated report in the offing, i suppose. better late than never yeah, you could see it like that. i mean, it's really, hugely, really bang for all the human rights community that this report is finally released

and released in a very strong way. this is a damning report. this is extremely significant. and although a lot of these findings are findings that we've seen amnesty international human rights watching from other credible organizations, the fact that the world's leading human rights buddy has finally come out with this report after more than 2 years of waiting. and it's hugely significant and we can do a lot with it in the future. and what we really need to consider is the pressure, the political pressure that the office of the high commissioner as well as the high commissioner and has been under china, has tried to stop this report from coming out several times. it has also try to dumb down or, or whitewash some of their the crimes so that the report is diluted. none of that happened. we have a strong report and report that we can now take mood and trying to justice. finally, what you make of the release of the report for miss todd ross,

because at the end of that i, groups yourselves were banging on the high commission as dual saying this needs to be released. now not later, we've waited what 2 to 3 years for this. what does it say about michelle bachelor's departure as un high commissioner for human rights? yeah, i mean the report was released as we heard there 10 minutes before the end of our tenure. it's almost laughable, really, but i think it shows the extent of political pressure. i very much look forward to hearing your responding james base asking michelle ashley at some point why she chose to wait until the end of her tenure to release the report. if she hadn't, it would have fallen to her successor. and i believe that, you know, this was a way for michelle ashley to try and distance herself as much as possible from, from the report, but still release that under her tenure and not burden her successor with it. it's extremely controversial and we can sit here and analyze the timing of it. but at

the end of the day its significance it's, it has in it all the sort of wording and the, and the findings and the confirmations that we have been waiting for. because really, the wheels of justice here are very slow. i mean we're, we're all relieved and happy. but at the end of the day, this has been happening for many years. over 1000000 people have been affected. it's it's, it's really not a hidden crime that we are reporting on. and yet we're sitting here happy that the un, human rights body is fine. you released a report about it. we are years behind here and do, but at least there's, i don't think it is. i get you relieved. and evidently this is a report of what 48 pages, what do you do with it next? where does it go? how do you act on it? i mean, and that's not a question that i think that, that is really an obvious answer is that this is a blueprint really for a member space, especially those who sit on the human rights council to adopt

a resolution that create an independent and international mechanism. so that you can start investigating these crimes and you can start identifying the perpetrators and prosecuting those perpetrators. as i was saying, the wheels of justice may turn very slowly, but we have had a huge turn today with the release of mister pool of cosa mr. ross at the end of the day on the human rights councilors. this report goes to that will be allies of china. those that in some cases don't like to criticize a close friend, sometimes a large investor in that country. how difficult is it going to be now eva, un neutral officials all organisations like yourself to make various sovereign governments really? oh, open the eyes to what the un high commissioner found and act on it in geneva. yeah,

making a mistake. it's an uphill battle, even with this report, but the fact is that before this report came out, many states were able to say, well let's just wait to see would be un says we're waiting for this report. now they can no longer say that your phone is out. it's very clear right now what it says, and now what we need to do is act on it. and that's what we'll be saying to member state, and that one. pushing in the upcoming human rights council session treated rasa from amnesty international events. joining us from new york now the governor of the state of mississippi has declared a state of emergency in the regional capital jackson. people don't have clean drinking water after the treatment plant was overwhelmed by floods, which all 100 reports. the water in mississippi's largest city is undrinkable. do not drink the water, ought to be clear. please do not drink the water. a 150000 resident of jackson, the state capital,

cannot drink the water cannot reliably shower flush their toilets or battle their cities fires. governor tate reeves on tuesday declared a state of emergency one with no end in sight. i can't give you a timeframe as to when we will be pushing out of safe drinking water. days of torrential rains have swollen the pearl river, mixing sewage and drinking water and overwhelming the city's main water treatment plant, causing it to fail with the city. unable to afford the repairs, the state is offering emergency funding. this gets into quite possibly the billions of dollars. and so that is far beyond the city of jackson's reach to be able to accomplish that. on our longtime jackson resident bernard smith saw it coming and stopped up. i will try to stop go on war to supplant their stuff that don't bowl in any instances when you know you and i don't where this happens, you don't just all of a sudden you add to your supply. they always tell me a snake,

a bike you give the bird jackson's population is largely black of quarter live in poverty. it's one of many us city, suffering water supply problems, and until it can restore its water treatment plant and feel its aging pipes residence will have to make do with boiled water, bottled water and plenty of patients. john henderson, al jazeera. well, johnny, we lived up from jackson in mississippi. is the city council president, mr. erin banks. mr. banks, thanks for joining us. live on al jazeera. i mean, what is the situation right now? day 3, for hundreds of thousands of people with no clean drinking water. well, the situation right now is, you know, today instead of having a flow at 87 p s i, we our drop down to around 40 p s i. and our whales and our tanks, their supply, the area from the surface water lines are basically depleted. so that means people

are experiencing low to no flow. and so, you know, right now, what we're trying to do is make sure that we can provide water, whether they're stu, haven't distribution sites with bottled water. right up the street from where i am right now, far to high school. there's a 6000 gallon tape for people to receive less water to put a contain so they can flush the toilet. and we're just trying to make sure that there's not so much of an interruption in their quality of life. ok. so when you expecting the, the broken down plan to start running again. obviously that will be, engine, is working around the clock. one presumes you know this, i am prepared for the long hall. this is ages system there. let me say this for the past 2 years, there has not been a month where citizens and sab jaclyn has not gone a week in 2 days,

or even sometimes a week with either low flow or no flow, no flow, and had to have a ball of water nos, the unfortunate thing about it is that this is becoming somewhat of a norm, and it is becoming where, you know, citizens of jackson are become resilient, but they're adapting to it. and this should not be the norm. a is because there's been a lack of investment into the water treatment plant all into you might say upgrading what should be a multiple plant for a modern city, especially a state capital. yeah, i would say that not only is it a lack of investment, but they're from the cities and you know, there has to be prioritize. you know, there are other things that municipality sometimes want to do. and you know, when i came in office, i've been up since 2017 and some of us on the city council have been sounded as

a long and saying that we need to prioritize, you know, our funding. i'll give you a good example. we're in budget session right now, and we have a childhood development center that makes that, that, that has $57.00 keys, 2 centers, but it's cost to city $1300000.00. well, yesterday the council took the action to take that $1300000.00 and to put it over toward our water consent decree. and so while we are waiting and looking for help from our state and federal partners, i think we have to make sure that we do want to just to prioritize our budget to begin to take care our wash system as well. ok, well now the president himself has now got involved on his initiated, federal help, federal aid. just explain to our international views. what does that mean in real terms? what will you see at the federal level that will arrive in jackson and across mississippi?

yeah. what that means a router is, is that we should expect relief. we should expect the deployment of the national guard water tankers. we should expect the deployment in federal court to step up to help make sure that we have clean water, both of them. but it also one of the things that, that we are pushing for, and this necessary is to make sure that from now on, in the future, any federal appropriations when it comes to a city that is the size of jackson, mississippi, 1000 and more that those federal appropriations, instead of going into the state and then put into something like central mississippi planet development district that those appropriations, as they will come directly to our municipalities so that we can begin to utilize and address the plan. here's our plan. a new water facility that's our play with the plans and you haven't, you walked facility also a part of the reason we're in this situation we're talking about it is obviously

that that water is facility in theory flooded because of the pel river. our issues of climate change now on the agenda alongside the way that you plan your city the way that you may be planning new water treatment plan. this is all. these are all going to be fact dissolved by both at the state level and at the federal level where you will have to negotiate with many of the politicians, maybe even the president. yes, no, you're absolutely right. look 202020 february. we had 17 degree 14 degree weather. the screens at the water treatment plant froze. the membranes froze because due to climate change, jackson, mississippi is not used to the cold weather. and so in having a cold weather, we now need extra supply material. so one of the things that we need is we need covers. we need to close our water treatment centers to make sure that they don't

fall right to the elements. so all of those things play a role in play apart. and some of the things that have caused is, you know, suspect when a storm we have had significant problems with our water treatment plants. the flooding becomes another that natural disaster, where it becomes hard for us to make sure we keep the proper ph balance by being able to purify and make sure that the water is heavy. when the, when it gets into the system, i saw all of these things play apart. and again, you know, we, we need a tension. but i think the best way for us right now is to make sure that federal corporations come directly to the city walls will certainly be keeping an eye on the situation in jackson. and we hope that your city makes very quick recovery and we can get you back on to the program to discuss up adam banks. thanks for joining us from jackson. thank you. still had here on al jazeera. ah, it ought to close 3 to is morning of funerals or help those killed in the latest
