this is news live from berlin revelations of muslims forced into reeducation camps in china it's believed more than a million muslims are being detained human rights groups call it a form of ethnic cleansing to do that he meets a former inmate who fled to neighboring kazakhstan. also coming up sweden's general election leaves the country's two main political blocs in a dead heat and sees a surge in support for the far right and anti-democratic. and. it's one thing to fall over power but quite another to be committed to

a car slow to write you in an exclusive interview or did you speak with nick i was president of the ortega the former her alive now the power behind a bloody crackdown on political dissent in the central american nation. i'm so me so much god it's good to have you with us human rights watch has called for the international community to impose sanctions on china because of its treatment of muslim minorities in a report released today the rights group says more than a million muslims have been detained in so-called free education camps in china's northwestern region the horrors of the internment system are emerging only slowly because the chinese government tightly controls access to the region but they don't use much spending or travel to neighboring kazakhstan to speak to witnesses.

but someone is a former inmate of a chinese reeducation camp he got out of the internment facility in march and is now in kazakhstan it's an important day for him he's meeting a team from amnesty international to speak about his experiences. to me it was found and we had to sing for hours. songs like without the communist party there would be no new china. in most of our songs praising mao tse tung. and we were forced to repeat slogans about the greatness of president xi jinping and what a great place china is to live in. you know sort of. someone who has an ethic. he was born in china where large numbers of cars x. have disappeared into camps along with weaker and members of other muslim ethnic minorities the official justification combating religious extremism is all

brainwashing for them to accept that you are chinese and you have a sap that national duty is size to make you feel you are part of the nation you don't need to keep your own ethnic identity it's just really like good afternoon and saying practice. the cause like authorities have one summer one of the long arm of chinese authorities but he wants his advice to be heard. will need to have the courage to tell the truth if we don't share our stories of what's going on then who will come from that's why i'm speaking out of my duty and. my. summer one is in a city around three hundred kilometers from the chinese border. if you a former detainees have made it here. we do not know exactly how many people are being detained at these camps international organizations estimate that the number exceeds one million down no verdicts and no sentences release is entirely at the

whim of the compound ministration. many cousins have links to china and many have relatives in the camps just saying the wrong word or expressing your religious beliefs can lead to detention. for many inmates the only hope of release comes from amnesty efforts on their behalf. when it is you know who was this man who was arrested on a business trip. if you don't have enough people on the show i don't even know if he's still alive. you know but my son is twelve. and that he asks me where his father is every day. even his teacher has started asking questions. on the news from across the border has become rare for muslims in china any contact

with their relatives is simply too dangerous. let's take a selfie richardson she's the china director of human rights watch and joins us from washington hi sophie thanks for being on our program how long have these camps been in existence and how prevalent are they. we've been documenting them for about a year now and last fall the reports are trickling in slowly and we had hoped that it would just be an isolated phenomenon but as the past twelve months have worn on we've been able to show that the camps are spreading that different kinds of facilities are being used to detain people and that in fact some scholars and journalists to do a brilliant job going through government tenders in the region to document constructing new facilities in which to detain people it really does seem that this is beijing's new normal. but if you look at beijing's perspective perspective they say that your organization human rights watch is full of prejudice against the

chinese government and that these reeducation camps are only mildly corrective centers to batak allies weekers after a spike in violence specially in two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and fourteen what's your response to that. well i take their dismissals a little bit more seriously if they ever engage on the facts which they categorically refuse to do and as for the suggestion that these are vocational training centers i mean there are a lot of questions to answer about why they're surrounded by guards and barbed wire why people can't we move you know what sort of jobs people are being trained for when they're being beaten and forced to learn mandarin it's a it's not a very credible explanation coming out of beijing how has this crackdown affected the legal community in changing in particular. well i think people have described to us consistently feelings of fear and paranoia and a sense that they simply are being criminalized for being who they are in that

there is such a pervasive restriction is now on religion language culture even what you can name your children we have people say to us i feel like it's illegal to be myself what do you expect the international community to do here. well i think it's high time to contemplate for example whether trying to even belong that you know i don't know if human rights council i think it's time for governments to imagine things like sanctions or visa bans and certainly an international investigation and some attention paid to that the ask for it communities all over the world to find out if they are being harassed and intimidated in countries like germany the us and australia where you've seen the chinese government do that and know that it's happening to those communities right now so if you richardson from human rights watch joining us from washington d.c. thank you sophie. thanks now in sweden both main political blocs have failed to secure a majority in the general election instead the far right has reported major gains

the ruling center left social democrats and their allies secured forty point six percent a slight edge over the center right the lines at forty point three percent the populace sweden democrats have surged into third place taking seventeen point six percent the far right party hopes to become the kingmaker of any ruling coalition a scenario both centrist blocks are finding hard to stomach. europe's populist wave now reaching sweden in part because of this man. jimmy akeson declaring a big future for his third place anti immigrant party. do you know what friends of sweden they said on t.v. that it's hard to declare a winner of this election i know who's won the sweden democrats. in a small country that's taken in four hundred thousand asylum seekers since two thousand and twelve aca since message has resonated for those skeptical about

immigration and the establishment. that establishment incumbent prime minister stuff unless been center left coalition came out just millimeters ahead of the opposition center right alliance a sign left and says that it's time to toss out the bloc system that's defying swedish politics for decades if using is either of no side has a clear majority it's only natural that we will have to work across the political to fight to make it possible to govern sweden some regard less of the final election results this will be the death of block politics. but his invitation to the center right to engage in cross party talks has so far fallen on deaf ears the head of the opposition instead calling for less than to resign that leaves two sides in a virtual dead heat after the vote both sides short of a majority both sides refusing to work with a strong third place finisher that has neo nazi roots. look for weeks or months of

talks to form a new government in a country whose reputation for tolerance may be shifting along with the political winds sweeping across europe. eastern germany has been on edge after violent anti migrant protests gripped the city of chemist's two weeks ago and fears of more on rust rose again on sunday after a man died after a fight the two afghan migrants in the town of about one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of berlin some two and a half thousand protesters followed the call of far right groups and gathered there for a march a post mortem showed the cause of death was acute heart failure not directly linked to his injuries the afghan men have been taken into police custody. this is where twenty two year old man died after an altercation with two afghans the suspects were swiftly taken into police custody city authorities and the local church also responded quickly urging citizens to remain calm.

i can only hope and ask that violence is not met with counter-violence. his pleas seems to have been heard many shared the pastor's wish that there would be no escalation as in chemist's two weeks ago curtains mayor also called for citizens to keep a cool head. but i have a simple request to stay the way you are don't let external influences get to you by was later prosecutors said an autopsy showed the man died of acute heart failure not directly linked to his injuries sustained in the incident police were deployed to curtain in droves there had been calls on social media including from neo nazi groups for a march of mourning on sunday evening some two thousand five hundred participants marched peacefully at first but later the mood turned hostile as right wing

extremists called for retribution. we need to wake up and see that they don't want to live alongside us peacefully so an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. despite the aggressive rhetoric local politicians expressed relief was kind of. there was no violence there were verbal but no physical attacks. it was relatively peaceful if you've been issued on board a few moments we don't want a second cabinet's the next few days will show whether calm is maintained. from from d.w. politics is following this story for us hi i'm good to see you what exactly do we know so far about the death of this twenty two year old man oh it was just confirmed very recently in a press conference by the interior minister and the justice minister minister of that federal state where this took place sex in the on. that the man in fact died

of a heart attack and that this heart attack was in no way related to the injuries that he sustained apparently injuries were not as serious as was reported but obviously a man must have been and a lot of stress it was a stressful situation he was taken to hospital after the fight in the park during which these injuries were sustained and then he died in hospital presumably because his heart which was chronically weak he had a heart disease for many years because his heart just gave in ok so hans if the man's death wasn't directly linked to the injuries encouraging his alter patient with the two suspects why have they been arrested. well obviously there was a fight there was an assault there was an assault in fact with the result that someone died there is some form of legal process that has to be followed here these men two afghans one is eighteen the other is twenty three taken into custody and is

now going to be decided by the police whether they in some form contravene some laws it seems likely that there will be at least charged with assault and possibly with assault that lead to someone's death so there is a reason for the arrests but it's not quite clear exactly what happened during this altercation what the reasons were and in fact the interior ministry and the. producer authorities are not able to say at the moment the investigations and to earlier stage at the moment to be able to say exactly what happened tell us more about the demonstration that followed the death of the man in crete and we had heard a man in a report say we don't want another chemists was this anything like those far right protests we saw in chemist's two weeks ago there's certainly a similarity in the sense that within a very short space of time hundreds and maybe even thousands of people gathered for these marches both in kansas two weeks ago and last night and couldn't people in could in a town that only has twenty thousand five thousand inhabitants it is

a very significantly large margin of the shows that these rightwing protests can be organized at very short notice at the same time there were no incidents of people being attacked at the on the sides of the march and the only thing that did happen is that there was a speech being given work a couple of speeches being given at the end. and some of the i through and says there contravene german law and the authorities have said that they are going to be investigating the right hands brand fronted of you politics covering the story for us thank you honey. that's some other stories making headlines around the world seven people were wounded in a knife attack in central paris late on sunday authorities say a man began attacking passers by outside a cinema seriously injuring four police detain the suspect officials say they don't think it was terrorism. reports say russian and syrian aircraft have resumed airstrikes in the syrian province of live eyewitnesses and

a monitoring group told news agencies there were several fatalities damascus has stepped up its assault on the country's last rebel stronghold after last week's summit failed to produce a cease fire. now to nicaragua where more than three hundred people have been killed and two thousand injured in a government crackdown on protests since april the civil unrest began in the capital managua over government plans to cut welfare benefits although they were scrapped protests against president danny i don't think i have a school aged over his autocratic style of role earlier this month he expelled the u.n. delegation that had documented human rights violations including killings and arbitrary detentions by police but still commands significance of court in the capital. and. sat down with daniel ortega for an exclusive interview in nicaragua she joins us for more on the story we're talking about massive on breast hundreds dead

thousands injured a real crisis in nicaragua what was your impression of the president in the middle of all this tells me well it was interesting to interview a president who. makes. answers spontaneously and contradicts himself also in a way was also interesting to see that. his vice president and also his wives is actually the one who is running the government day by day it's not the president it's her you just talked about this massive march as we have been seeing during the last months yes but not anymore people are afraid now. that is the atmosphere that i could also feel they are talking to two people on the street most of them they would march and they will protest against something i can suppress didn't they they are freight because our policy or a strategy of intimidation in the country and what is also very interesting is the speech of the president that is the speech of the cold war i would like to show you

a part of it. if they want to contribute to peace and stability in nicaragua and in the region they have to respect the decisions we make not continuously conspire against the government of nicaragua. we are not an enemy of the united states but we are against submitting to the policies of the united states who were. so incredibly you know does he think that the u.s. is to blame for this on rest of the country definitely that's what he was saying during the whole interview was a forty five minute interview and he was the whole time saying that he and i did say it's to blame for it not only of the united states but specifically the state of florida florida yes because cubans and venezuelans and i was are there who are against socialist systems and they have been planning this whole

political turmoil look at him that is feehery. they asked. is actually like most of the speeches from the left wing theatres in latin america we can see that my lot in venezuela has a similar speech or have a morales in bolivia they all blame the united states for what is happening to them so it doesn't sound like dan ortega has a real plan for how to solve this problem he doesn't really have a solution he rejects early elections that's what the organization of american states asked for also the european union but he rejects it completely he rejects the dialogue he rejects the mediation of the qatar church that's what he already tried and he got our but it didn't work out. so his strategy right now is to let people flee to the neighbor countries especially those that rico are already around twenty five thousand people. last month. and to

intimidate the people in the country who are against his government that is the main strategy for him right now and you asked him a specific question on that front about his position in power yes i did i was keen to know if one can fall in love with power and that's what he told. can one fall in love with power records they're not worth it it's one thing to fall in love of power but quite another to be committed to a cause to an idea. it means that you continue fighting the battle even when you're not in the heart. we left the government on the twenty fifth of april nine hundred ninety and spend seventeen years fighting elections and voting. with them it never occurred to us to stage a coup d'etat. it. doesn't sound at all like

a man who is even remotely considering stepping down not at all he told me he's going to remain there at least until twenty twenty one all right. thank you so much for bringing us that story thank you sunny. now germany's national football team have just had another chance to repair their reputation after their disappointing world cup campaign this summer they managed a scoreless draw with world champs france in the nation's league on thursday but fans and critics expected more from them when they took on pedro in a friendly i this wasn't exactly the performance coach you walk in love was hoping for some highs against peru but also plenty of those germany failed to exploit their chances in the fast paced early stages marco toys alone wasted three golden opportunities in the first fifteen minutes and germany's defense once again looked porous allowing luis adding color to open the scoring for peru after twenty two

minutes i put the equalizer was not long in coming yulian brunt hitting the target after winning the ball deep in the opponent's half just three minutes later. germany didn't shine in the second half either five minutes from time nico schultz capitalized on peru's defensive gaffe to net the winner in his debut for the national team two one the final score five. in tennis novak djokovic put up a strong performance to be twenty martin del potro in the u.s. open final and when his fourteenth grand slam title the thirty one year old serb won wimbledon in july and will climb to fourth in the world after a back to back grand slam victories joke which won six three seven six six three to seal a stirred triumph in new york to his opponent a porter was playing his first grand slam final since winning the two thousand and nine u.s. open having almost quit the sport because of multiple wrist injuries just three years ago. right monica is here with business now and diesel they could be even

more expensive for a volkswagen model no that's because the very first major court case against here in germany. is starting today of course over its cheating in emissions tests which is involving millions of diesel cars and now this case will examine whether the auto giant should have informed investors sooner the case that will be heard in a quarter near fox was headquarters involved spoke is a test case if successful it could unleash a barrage of similar claims related to the so-called dislocate scandal. who knew what and when the decisive questions braunschweig top court has to answer in this test case did fox walk in way too long before informing shareholders about the emerging a mission's cheating scandal and is it therefore liable for substantial damages. the suit has been brought by the investment fund it wants two hundred million euros

damages to cover its losses. but another seven thousand five hundred last money over the emissions scandal lined up behind a car all together v.w. shareholders are claiming nine and a half billion euros the figure is based on the forty percent drop in three w.'s share price in the first two weeks after the scandal became public. dacre investment claims v.w. management knew about the emissions cheating devices installed in its vehicles long before then and should have informed shareholders if dika investment wins this test case it would be followed by a veritable avalanche of claims. so what are investors making of this test case against fog slug let's ask our man in frankfurt. booth. we're talking about something like nine and a half billion euros claimed by shareholders is that a bit like biting the hand that feeds you. good point monica and

yes the money the damages will eventually be paid by the company not the managers the executives who were in charge at the time this is likely to be taken into consideration in the courtroom and it makes it more likely that this will end with some sort of settlement and not with you know a clean cut when all loss and of course i mean i just have to repeat again nine and a half billion euros the amount staggering and it truly is a first for germany isn't it. yes you know litigation cases where such large sums are at stake we're used to hearing about them from the united states and not from germany what's also new here is that a company like de kock gets involved you know this is not a hedge fund this is not an activist investor this is not

a company trying to make money in the litigation industry dika investment is the fund manager of the german spa customer public sector savings banks networks managing the money of millions of german mom and pop investors you know money this diesel's gate scandal has is a bit of a showcase for what can go wrong in trying to manage a global company and this court case now obviously shows that the ways of trying to make good for the wrong have to become a bit more global as well all right and what are people in frankfurt thinking i'm in what are the chances for plaintiffs to to win this case briefly. many people in the financial world are confident also because the top lawyer leading the plaintiffs side has a reputation for not giving up he won the last large shareholder case here in germany that was against the telecom my mother wasn't in frankfurt thank you so

much for this. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. human rights watch has called for the international community to impose sanctions on china because of its treatment of muslim minorities it's believed more than a million muslims are being detained in what human rights groups say is a form of ethnic cleansing. and of course don't forget you can always get the daily news on the go just in download to our left from google play all from the uk and store and that'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news that you can also use the g w to send us photos and videos. this is developing news more coming up at the top of the hour to them.
