a surge in support for the far right and anti immigrant. and fears of more anti migrant on grass in eastern germany a small town is shaken after a man dies in a fight with two afghans will the far right block here and make it another camera. i'm sumi so much kind of 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 michel battle that called the allegations deeply disturbing they appeared 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 jiang region details of the internment system are emerging only slowly because the chinese government tightly controls access to that region but much it's

been a travelled to neighboring kazakhstan to speak to witnesses. hahn is a former inmate of a chinese reeducation camp he got out of the internment facility in march and is now in kazakhstan it is an important day for him he's meeting a team from amnesty international to speak out about his experiences. for me was sound and we had to sing for hours. songs like without the communist party there would be no new china. most of the songs praising mao tse tung. and were forced to repeat slogans about the greatness of president xi jinping. and what a great place china is to live in. but some are honasan ethnic because it was born in china where large numbers of cars us have disappeared into camps along with members of our muslim ethnic minorities the

official just a few cation combatting religious extremism it's all brainwashing for them to accept you are chinese you have. a national unity its size to make you feel you are part of the nation you don't need to keep your own ethnic identity is just really like ethnic cleansing practice because a horse or a g.'s have worn some or han of the long arm of chinese authorities but he wants his voice to be heard. will they 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 i'm speaking out of my duty and for the dishonest good bye i summer honasan are marching the city around three hundred kilometers from the chinese border fuel from the detainees have made it. 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 and no sentences release is entirely at the whim of the camp administration. many cars are said means to china and many have relatives in the camps just saying the wrong word can lead to detention. for many inmates the only hope or at least comes from amnesty is efforts on their behalf now because . this man was arrested on a business trip. and having to be sure i don't even know if he's still alive and what it yesterday was it was sent to my son is twelve. he asked me where his father is every day even his teacher has started asking questions. that it was here that the news from

across the border has become scars 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 of 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 engaged on the facts which they categorically refuse to do and as for the suggestion that these are you know 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. 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 and that

there are such pervasive restrictions now on religion and 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 china even but wong's with your hands of 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 asper of communities all over the world to find out if they are being harassed and intimidated in countries like germany the u.s. and australia we'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 at forty point three percent the popular sweden democrats have surged into third place taking seventeen point six percent of 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 way 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 lisbon 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 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 regardless 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. now to 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 movie theater seriously injuring four police detained the suspect officials say they don't think it was terrorism. hundreds of mabel and coast guard personnel have been deployed to clean up in the oil spill in sri lanka around twenty five tons of furnace oil leaked from a pipeline north of the capital colombo on sunday authorities say the leak has stopped but it will take days to clean up. ports a russian and syrian aircraft have resumed airstrikes in the syrian province of eyewitnesses and monitoring groups told news agencies there were several fatalities damascus has stepped up its assault on the country's last rebel stronghold after

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 far. 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. does mean apart from those four or five hundred i hope the other two thousand i'm not denounced as right wing extremists or labeling people like that is not her. hopefull. 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 kirton the extreme right mobilized supporters over the internet. of course we are aware of how far right groups operate on a national level. how they are able to react so quickly. we will adopt our plans accordingly. more demonstrations are planned incursion later today police have brought in reinforcements from all around germany. in tennis novak djokovic produced a strong performance to be one martin that puts on the u.s. open final and when his fourteenth grand slam title the thirty one year old served one wimbledon in july and will climb to fourth in the world after back to back
