this is deja vu 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 utopian it's 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 sousa surge in support for the far right and it's an tight immigrant stock from the book alarm to stockholm. and fears of more an appetite microdot unrest in eastern germany a small town shaken after a man dies in

a pikachu afghans will the far right flank here and make it another. time soon so much going to thank you for joining us the united nations human rights chief has called on china to allow in monitors after allegations of large scale arbitrary detentions of muslim minorities michelle bachelet called the allegations deeply disturbing they appear in a report published today by human rights watch it says more than a million muslims have been detained in so-called reeducation camps in china's northwestern which are details of the internment system are emerging only slowly because the chinese government tightly controls access to the region but he has been in a travel to neighboring kazakhstan to speak to witnesses. some ron 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. we had to sing arse songs like without the communist party there would be no new china with our songs praising multi-tool article. and we were forced to repeat slogans about the greatness of president xi jinping and what a great place china is to live in. but. somehow doesn't. 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 you have. national unity its 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 ethnic cleansing practice. the cosmic authorities have warned someone of the long arm of chinese authorities but he wants his advice to be heard. we need to have the courage to tell the truth if we don't share our stories of what's going on then who will that's why there's a king on it and the dishonesty by. someone 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 there are no verdicts there are no sentences release it's

entirely at the whim of the compact 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. one under the skin of whom one is this man who was arrested on a business trip. i do not have enough people on this i don't even know if he's still alive. but my son is twelve. something 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 speak to sophie 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 be radicalized 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 think there dismissals a little bit more seriously if they ever engage on the facts which they categorically refuse to do and as for this 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 not a very credible explanation coming out of beijing how has this crackdown affected the legal community in changing in particular oh 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 are such pervasive restrictions now on religion and language culture even what you can name your children you know 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 but wong's on your 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 the aspirate communities all over the world to find out if they are being harassed and intimidated in countries like germany the u.s. 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 in sweden both main political blocs have failed to secure a majority in the general election instead the far right has recorded nature gains

the ruling center left social democrats and their allies secured forty point six percent a slight edge over the center right alliance of forty point three percent the populist sweden democrats have surged into third place taking seventeen point six percent the far right party hopes to become 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 on left 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 defined swedish politics for decades if using is either no side has a clear majority it's only natural that we will have to work across the political divide to make it possible to govern sweden some regard less of the final election results this will be the death of bloc 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. let's go right to debbie's babble of easel she is in stockholm and joins us for more on this story hi barbara as we heard there sweden is in for some very difficult coalition talks how might those play out. that is the big one million euro kroner question that everybody puts to him or herself today in stockholm because observers really think this is a situation that has never been happening in sweden before and to get an answer i would like to introduce lisa pelling as she's an analyst a political analyst with the think tank ivory no id in stockholm lisa do you think the prime minister called for overcoming the thinking in two big blocks do you think that politicians here are ready to sort of think out of the box to try

something new definitely some of them are and they should get ready in the coming weeks because all parties except the sweden democrats have went to the election promising they will not cooperate with the sweden democrats and they will not become dependent on their support in parliament and the only way of forming a government without being dependent on their support is to make sure that they cooperate across the borders of the two blocks so they will have to is it thinkable dead one of the partners in the in the center right block says oh you know i'll eat my words you know what do i care about what i said yesterday how would swedes react to that well unfortunately it is also a possibility that a lot of speculation says that the conservative party will get alternate despite losing heavily they are the big losers in this election might side up maybe with the christian democrats one of the big winners and with the support of the sweden democrats try for a government that would open up for

a lot of disappointment among their voters and a lot of critique and i think also a very unstable government because this weekend democrats are not a party that you could trust is a deeply populist also center for big party with nazi roots but it's also an untrustworthy party so i think such a government would not be long lived but if you look at what the new government whatever and whoever. might be formed by whatever it might be they have to tackle some real problems they have seen during the selection complain that there are many voters who have concerns about migration policy about how people are integrated are not integrated in sweden mistakes have been made do you think that anybody has the power and the grip to sort of come up with new policies to tackle those yes yes i do think so i think also a continuation of the present government a very green government could given a little bit more time also present policies although there are all lots of signs the swedish economy is doing great unemployment is very low employment figures are

as high as ever been measured in any e.u. country the basis is there what you need is to inspire people with some confidence that this picture of sweden is also true i think this election campaign has taken a lot of negativism a lot of pessimism about where sweden is where sweeting is heading and there's a need to provide people with another with another picture of of sweden's possibilities but i also think that a lot of people have expressed frustration anger about the wealth being created in sweden not being equally distributed and some of these people tend to give the reason for this lack of distribution that they don't need the growing wealth in their normal lives they think money resources have been spent on integration on the immigrants which is not true they have they have been a great injection into sweden's fabulous growth rates but what we need is more of

distribution along. for instance we have no wealth tax we have no text tax on property we should reintroduce these kind of taxes and redistribute the gains this will be my position at least thank you very much lisa and so as we see sweden experiences many of the same things that you see across europe people are distant. it was traditional politics they're looking for something new but there is even at this this day after the election that brought inconclusive results a certain sense of optimism at least in some of the observers here. thank you barbara. now to some other stories making headlines around the world at least four people have been killed in a suicide bombing in the somali capital mogadishu authorities say a car laden with explosives rammed a security checkpoint at a local government office the bombing was claimed by the extremist group. reports

say russian and syrian aircraft are presumed airstrikes in the syrian province of idlib eye witnesses 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. seven people were wounded in a knife attack in central paris late on sunday authorities say a man began attacking passers by outside a movie theater seriously injuring four police detained the suspect officials say they don't think it was terrorism. germany has been on edge after violent anti migrant demonstrations gripped the city of kemet to weeks ago fears of more on breast rose again on sunday when a man died after a fight with two afghan migrants in another east german town. thousands follow the call of far right groups and gathered for renewed protests. curtain is

a small town in eastern germany on saturday evening two groups clashed here a german man died two afghans were arrested the mayor of curtain called for calm. the good news and you know if the people are dismayed as i am myself that's not surprising when someone dies under these circumstances as i understand it the victim intervened in the argument as a mediator and obviously that didn't work out so for. not everyone reacted calmly as news of the man's death spread on social media there were calls for a protest according to the police some twenty five hundred people took part in the so-called vigil march ordinary curtain residents but also members of the far right alternative for germany party police say there were four to five hundred with links to the far right. apart from those four or five hundred i hope the other two thousand i'm not denounced as right wing extremists. labeling people like that is

not helpful. it's not clear exactly what happened there was a dispute and the german man later died of a heart attack police say one of the arrested afghans should have been deported the other had a residence permit politicians are keen to avoid comparisons with nearby candidates where the death last month of a german man led to far right protests as in curtain the extreme right mobilized supporters over the internet. of course we are aware of how far right groups operate on a national level and how they are able to react so quickly. but we will adapt our plans accordingly. and more demonstrations are planned incursion later today police have brought in reinforcements from all around germany. in russia

authorities are increasingly turning to so-called anti extremism loss to crackdown on dissent around one hundred fifty people were convicted under the statutes in two thousand and eleven six years later that number had quadrupled part of that optic may be due to a group of social media monitors who turn people into the authorities it is made drugs or it's met one man who's activism landed him in a political dragnet. no trespassing one hundred eighty kilometers from moscow the ruins of the zemke again cement factory this plant once gave the small town its name production was shut down a few years ago valentyn circle of help to close it down. on the maya musher the cement dust on my car was several millimeters thick i could wash it off. people dust and carpet and i said to myself you have to do something that was. brought to the group with the thinking but what. the father of four started to get involved

cycle of campaign for a cleaner environment more school buses and better care for the elderly he also spoke out against corruption in politics the activist ran for political office himself in the face of warnings from the authorities. because. someone explain to me that i shouldn't take part in the elections and shouldn't mention putin's party united russia he said well look your way for four years i thought you haven't done anything wrong they can just arrest you they just want to intimidate you but they did they sentenced me to a year in prison and three years suspended. one of the. pretext for circle of the arrest was an internet post he says his opinion was taken out of context at six o'clock one morning police stormed his apartment they turned the place upside down confiscated his computers and distilled in stories he was charged

with extremism and sent to jail valentyn sokoloff still doesn't know who framed him . the authorities often rely on informants who comb social media platforms looking for anything suspect north of moscow we meet one of these volunteers. and when we dine with more we search we watch if we see saw. thing we can report it but we don't make any decisions which. post says she works for the authorities because she is a patrick it she claims she also wants to protect her daughter from dangerous content on the internet we have appointments lined up with several states informants only pushing coast showed up accompanied by a man who works for the government who didn't want to be filmed. experts criticize the legal definition of extremism as unclear. as of attila need to know

whatever they put on the internet pictures videos songs everything could be used as a reason to investigate years of chile. valentyn sokoloff knows what that means he was harris in prison and put in solitary confinement. is helping people is my religion because i can't stop doing this it's like i can't turn away and say nothing. is the. circle of values and social commitment have made him a target for the russian or thirty's but he refuses to be intimidated. to tennis now and novak djokovic put out a strong performance to be one 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 back to back grandson victories joke of h one six three seven six six three to seal this third

triumph in new york his opponent a potter was playing his first grand slam final since winning the two thousand and nine u.s. open. and previously in the women's competition twenty year old male male soccer defeated serena williams in a thrilling u.s. open final but it was williams who dominated the headlines as she's been fined seventeen thousand dollars for three code violations during the second set now after being warned for a coaching violation williams was docked a point for smashing hope bracket then for calling the chair umpire a liar and a cheat and williams was docked an entire game. called letting off steam yeah a little bit of steam indeed ok monica speaking of letting off steam diesel gate this keeps on rolling for a v.w. and it continues to get more and more expensive for the company coming closer to home now so we the first major court case against fox in germany over its cheating and emissions test involving millions of these lacrosse begins today it will

examine whether the asa giant should have informed investors soon another case that will be heard in a court to me a fox headquarters in was a book is a test case if successful it could unleash a barrage of similar claims related to the so-called of these the gate 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 a merging a missions cheating scandal and is it therefore liable for substantial damages. the suit has been brought by the dick investment fund it wants two hundred million euros damages to cover its losses. but another seven thousand five hundred shareholders who lost 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 t.w.

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 dick an investment wins this test case it would be followed by a veritable avalanche of claims. by let's see what the financial world makes of this. man of the frankfurt stock exchange what's the trading floor making of this test case against all odds. this is closely watched by traders monica and not only we're talking about a lot of money here and not only because a core principle of corporate governance is at stake here you know the principle that the company has to inform all its stakeholders the shareholders of both about what's going on and of course all of them at the same time but also the fact that

because investment is the main plaintiffs here is new and it's important to talk about it because the it's not some hedge fund or some company that wants to make money in the litigation industry this is the fund manager for the german system public sector service savings banks which deal with the money of millions of german mom and pop investors the fact that they are now suing for means that also conservative institutional investors here in germany are ready to play a tougher game than in the past. and come out of course the hearing is expected to last until december just briefly what's the likely outcome. it's very likely that some sort of settlement will be the outcome because you know the plaintiffs here the shareholders are also in a dilemma by suing folks who aren't they're suing the company that eventually might

have to pay the compensation for them so in some respect played to see of biting the hand that feeds them and that's not very healthy of course going to who is in there in frankfurt thank you so much is. all right some good news tourism is booming here in germany that more and more foreign visitors are coming to the country and germans themselves are also spending more money on trips in their own country and here's a look now at what's behind the positive trend. it was one of germany's hottest and driest summers and the latest tourism figures show that conditions were perfect for holidaymakers overnight stay figures for hotels reached a record high in july more than fifty six million overnight stays recorded that is the highest ever figure it represented a five percent rise year on year the number of stays by foreign visitors increased four percent to ten point seven million. the number of visitors from abroad has

been increasing steadily in recent years germany now enjoys the best overall reputation of any country in the world according to the nation brands index but germans are also spending more money on trips in their own country record low unemployment and rising wages mean the germans have more cash to spare so germany's booming tourism isn't just down to an unusually hot and dry summer they call to me has been a major factor. you're watching in d w news from more is coming up at the top of the alanine time don't think as you can get all the laziest news and information around the clock on our web site and dot com for now thanks to john b. w. .
