5:02 am
be reports michelle by chalets, long awaited report is a damning indictment of china's treatment of the weigle population. it found that we go and all the mostly muslim groups held in detention camps have been subjected to torture. including forced medical treatment and sexual and gender based violence . bachelor's report with commission more than 3 years ago and was due to be published last year. it was finally released 30 minutes before her term as you and human rights chief ended. obviously there, there is pressure fall, a chinese government on the you end system. but it's the you, the high commission as job to investigate human rights crimes around the world, including china. so we're very glad to see at least the report report is out. oh, obviously we wish it was with or released it sooner. china has condemned the report . it says its policies in shing jang fight, what it calls terrorism and provide weigle with better economic opportunities. we
5:03 am
all know so well that the so called the syndrome you too is completely yeah, isa completely fabricated. ly autos, political motivations. and it's proposed definitely is to undermine china's stability and to obstruct the china. so the allotment in the past passion aids, faith, criticism for not being forthright about the persecution of the week of community. her visit to china re, may, was widely condemned as a whitewash with the u. s. state department, calling it a mistake human rights group, say her report is better late than never. this is a blueprint really for a member states, especially those who sent on the human rights council to adopt a resolution that creates an independent and international mechanism so that you can start investigating these crimes. and you can start identifying the
5:04 am
perpetrators and prostituting those perpetrators. this is the latest of many reports, detaining human rights abuses against weak is, but this one carries the weight of the un and those campaigning for justice. hope it'll mark a turning point victoria gates and be al jazeera. well, joining me now from minneapolis as adrian's, and he's a senior fellow and director in china studies that the victims of communism memorial foundation is that it's good to have with us on the program. the findings are much anticipated, but perhaps expected it was expected. there was a lot of concern that the report would be watered down. notably over michelle specialist, disastrous visitation young, which was a photo opportunity for chinese propaganda. there was concern that chinese propaganda would feature the report the contents of the report, suddenly it's not a surprise, but we are relieved that it is out and that it is essentially solid. little poor
5:05 am
talk to the focus is on the weekends and on the international community. and the public at large hear the word week as all the time. but could you just clarify for us about the other groups that we're talking about. but i've also been mentioned as being persecuted, essentially targeted or, or predominantly turkic ethnic groups of turkey. heritage. so we have the cadillacs, of course, many of them were able to get out since they have their own country of color, tongue, the cur. guess. there are some topics and some of the muslims who are also targeted in terms of various human rights groups and academics and scholars. they have been for months now, if not years since this inquiry was launch been demanding that a very quick conclusion be reached was 3 years long enough for this
5:06 am
report to be presented to the international community. was 3 years required for the research needed to give weight and also balance to something that now has to move forward. and you might say, be used in the appropriate fashion of the human rights commission in geneva. no 3 years were not necessary. the report was ready last year, and it was the late because michelle ashley was still trying to visit, changing, and wants to maybe include some observations and a report. now this was a complete waste of time because as far as i can tell, helps of ations were not included in a report, which is a good thing because that would have been a negative impact on the report. so i think a one whole year was wasted, which is terrible because this is a terrible atrocities, probably the largest incarceration of ethnic religious minorities since the holocaust and the, the victims cannot wait. so i think the un delaying to support a ton out to be a mistake in terms of having to play devil's advocate here,
5:07 am
sitting in an anchor's check, can i ask you to clarify for view as around the world? what evidence there is that you have that you research that you've looked into. that clarifies the conclusion that china has been persecuting a certain ethnic group on its own territory. yes, the methodology that i've been using is largely also the method that was adopted by the us report research team and a number of sources cited by them. we're also cited and analyzed by myself. the strategy that i sued was to use the chinese government's own documents to approve what is going on. i looked at statistical yearbooks, seeing dramatic science in birthrates, dramatically throwing population growth. i looked at official government documents and white papers, policy documents, stipulating policy mandates. birth prevention policy, policy of muslim term,
5:08 am
and i was able, in particular to analyze leaked or hacked internal documents. some of them obtained directly from within shins, young police computers, showing images of detained images, police drugs, and internal speeches were leading officials were admitting that they were mass and turning the we guess liberally. and several of these documents are also cited in the us report. so using, trying to own data, public and internal has been key for documenting and uncovering, forced labor on a large scale. both prevention on a large scale must internment and basic violations of religious freedom. as the report was launched, re spoken to several contravene contributors from human rights groups on our channel. and all have been saying now that we need to see quick action and implementation of the report at
5:09 am
a higher level at the human rights commission in geneva. how difficult is that going to be knowing that there are also countries sitting in that commission that are friends of china and will perhaps not. also give this report a bit of a rough ride. now it is true, china is very powerful at the united nations and has a lot of countries on the thumbs. china is going to try to pull every string to counter the impact of this report. however, this report has one key strength. it's fairly conservative. it's very cautious. it's been published under the auspices of michelle ashley who is not a china hawk, very w, almost naive. but that's also the strength of this report. this report comes across as very conservative is very independent, very believable. and i think that makes it a very uniquely authoritative source to which 3rd party some entities can appeal to now going forward, which would make the work a lot easier. the main problem in coal,
5:10 am
in holding china accountable in doing something about this whole atrocity have unfortunately been the human beings in charge. the politicians who haven't done enough that un bureaucrats and others who haven't done enough, we're not interested enough. and going forward, we will have to see who are now going to do something, who've been waiting, maybe for this kind of document and those who just don't care. and the lack of caring has been a major, major problem. but this whole atrocity. adrian's answer from the victims of communism. memorial foundation, johnny's in minneapolis, thanks very much for your time. so thank you. thank you. the united nations inspectors of arrived in the southern ukrainian city of jasper. reach here there on a mission to prevent an accident. europe's largest nuclear power like that,

5:12 am
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 was very powerful munition. so it's going to be damaged simply because of some occasional bumble rocket falls nearby. the visit is taking place as you quine, staging a counter offensive in the south trying to begin what press involve me to hell. and he says, is the liberation of territory is occupied by russia. ukraine, save it for, says, have destroyed several ammunition people. and all major bridges will allow russian troops to cross the dinner for river. everyone here knows that this is going to be a long fight, but almost everyone is convinced that ukraine will prevail, armament armor. but experts like you say, your fancy is a major challenge and ukraine has bravery to make up for the weapons. it lack
5:13 am
offenses is quite the challenge and seen it's quite difficult. complicated seen, you need to orchestrate the application of a lot of manpower, a lot of equipment. so you need to, to, to do it to, to have an effect you need to, to breach the technical depth of defense. say you need to follow national on, you need to interdicted 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 i fighting to defend the country. i believe the time has come to regain the territory . they have lost it is i will, i'll just feed and keep ross manzona, the wife of malaysia's jailed former prime minister. and she resigned as about her, her faith in a corruption trial. the 70 year old is charged with soliciting and receiving one and a half $1000000.00 worth of bribes over schools. solar energy contract. her husband g began a 12 year prison term last week,

5:18 am
says it's confident being this of these based as everyone who wants well well, joining me live now via skype is dr. mark as the pleasure. he's the chief medical officer at the association of state and territorial health officials that could help you with his doctor on the program. so modified shots just before the when to the authorities pants trying to get ahead of the curve. yeah, that's true. we think that there's a lot of potential in having a version of the same that's much more tailored towards some of the barriers that we're seeing now with the coping virus. how concerned have you and your colleagues been about the way the virus has moved in recent months? well that's the big issue. ready that we're facing now. i mean, when the vaccine 1st came out back in 2021, it was very specific to the form of the back thing we were saying back. now we have new parents. we have the com variance which is,
5:19 am
which appears to be much more infectious and you know, hope. ready is that having a new form formulation of this back saying don't really result in the back thing that's much more effective now where we are now with the buyers. we're seeing many other countries, maybe those a europe, sydney authorize, modified booster vaccines, and different variations of those vaccines to counter the various options of, of koby to and me, kron. why is it taking such a long time? perhaps for the f d a to authorize the modification booster vaccine in the us now. well, the challenge that we face with this new formulation to maxine is that we haven't had the same kind of had time for the same kind of clinical effectiveness studies that we've done previously with the vaccinate. you know, there is good evidence that this new. ready formulation is safe and there's, there's some early evidence that it results in your body creating good immunity,
5:20 am
having a good reaction when it comes into contact spectrum. but we have, we don't have the data. yes, exactly how effective it is. and that's been a little bit of a challenge, and i think that may be the challenge with the american public is that some people are going to want to see those data before they're going to be comfortable taking those faxing. i think that's the main reason why this is just some delays and rolling this out. and then you talk about challenges. i mean, some of the challenges of the fact that in the u. s. are still many people, many millions that are still vulnerable because they haven't or won't take the vaccine in any form that remains the challenge. doesn't that full clinicians? that does were made a challenge. i mean, we had very good uptake of the initial, she goes back, seems serious. i mean, you know, much better than we see in any other vaccines that we offer 2 adults. so that's good. what we've not had is good of a response. what. ready began offering boosters and the hope is that this booster,
5:21 am
this, this formulation because it's different, maybe a little more attractive people. there's a reason to get this. it's different. it's been taylor, it's more effective about the various because back saying that we're saying now dr . pleasure, good to see, to thank joining us from charlotte based on the august has been the worst month the wildfires in the brazilian amazon since 2010, the national space research agency trying to the increase of 12 percent in the past 30 days with more than 40000 was reported that these numbers come as brazilians are preparing to vote in the upcoming presidential elections. currently there's eyeballs. nora came and defined for softening restrictions on exploitation of the rain voice. he's accused of paving the way for illegal loggers. well, meanwhile, for a brazilian present, luis, in a few lily to silver, has repeated his campaign by ways to fight climate change. the silver was answer rally earlier in the capital of amazonia state mongers. proposals of the creation
