minority. michelle marshall, i says the arbitrary and discriminatory detention of muslim groups in shang may constitute crimes against humanity. the beijing has rejected the allegations as an attempt to undermine stability, victoria kate, and be reports michelle by chalets long awaited report to the damning indictment of china's treatment of the week population. it found that we goes and other mostly muslim groups held in detention camps have been sub to torture, including forced medical treatment and sexual and gender based violence bachelor 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 un system. but it's the you, the high commissioner job to investigate human rights crimes around the world, including china. so we're very glad to see at least the report reports out. oh,

of the se will wish it was with are released sooner. china has condemned the report . it says it's policies in shing jang fight, what it calls terrorism, and provide weigle with better economic opportunities. we all know so well that the so called the st. john, you too, is completely yeah, isa completely fabricated. ly auto, political motivations. and it's proposed definitely is to undermine china's stability and to obstruct the china. sir development 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 poor member states, especially those who sit 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 perpetrators and prosecuting those perpetrators. hello. this is the latest of many reports, detaining human rights abuses against weakness. but this one carries the weight of the un and those campaigning for justice. hope it'll mark a turning point, victoria gate and be al jazeera, patrick falk is in beijing with more on how the chinese government's react. it. well, as we know, china was handed a copy of the report for review prior to his publication in line with normal procedure, we can see now very clearly why beijing was so opposed to it. even on wednesday, the foreign ministry called it a foss, orchestrated by the u. s. in some western powers, and called a michelle bash. lates, a quote,

make the right decision and urging her not to publish the report, its contents could hardly have been more damaging. it covers a period from between 201-7220. 19, suggesting this could just be the tip of the iceberg. and it confirms the most serious accusations of human rights violations, including hunger and injection tactics, used in what china refers to his vocational and educational training senses. it found evidence of forced air lies ation, and it concluded that china's treatment of ethnic wiegand chin jam may amount to international crimes against humanity. in the fact, the michelle bachelor decided to go ahead and issue this report in her final minutes in office despite pressure from different sides. it creates the sense that she wanted to conclude this episode in the way that it needed to be concluded with the publication of this report in accordance with the findings of her office. so what this does now is it creates pressure on china,

on the u. n. as well as international bodies to act accordingly. but from everything that we've seen from beijing, it's unlikely that it will accept any accountability for what the report says. and the timing is perhaps interesting coming ahead of national congress in the middle of october and perhaps present. she jumping will use this to reaffirm the point that china needs strong leadership under his guidance as it continues to face challenges from foreign forces trying to contain it. ah, united nations inspectors have arrived in the southern ukrainian city of suffer asia there on a mission to prevent an accident that europe's largest nuclear power plant, which is under russian control. the team's visit comes after weeks of shelling near the site, raising fears of a radiation lake to resubmit reports from cave. the 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, where we are. so we are a team of experienced people. i bring them here right as a safeguard, safety. and we will have a really good idea of what go shelling 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 whether the safety systems are in place. this event will go into market an expert nuclear disaster and he says that even though they have 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 was very powerful. nation,

say you need to move, 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 their country. i believe the time has come to regain the territory. they have lost base. i will, i'll defeat and keep it just became more difficult and more expensive for russians to visit european union countries. you foreign ministers meeting in prague have agreed to suspend the visa deals with moscow. natasha butler has more from paris. until now, russians wanting to travel to the european union were given preferential treatment for phases 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, is that for that reason for this? well, there were 2 main reasons. one, he said it's 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 continues in ukraine, it seems that all foreign ministers were agreed on the point to make it harder for russians to travel. but there was some countries the baltic states, for example, that wanted a full ban on russians, obtaining visas for the you. but countries like germany and france were against

that, they said it would be counter productive. they said it would fuel and see you sentiment in russian. that wasn't 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. the us justice department says it has evidence. former president donald trump's team was hiding classified files that his florida home. it also says his advisors were obstructing an investigation into whether he illegally remove top secret documents from the white house. donald trump's legal team deny the allegations. ellen fisher reports. it's a remarkable photo document 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
