international community should ignore what it calls gossip over its treatment of the weaker muslim minority the comments by chinese foreign minister wang he followed talks with his german counterpart heiko musts un experts say china may be holding up to a million muslims in terminal camps and germany has called for more transparency from china over the issue china has defended its use of the camp saying they prevent terrorism. well in this report we hear from one weaker with direct experience of those camps. omer is now safe in istanbul far away from china's reeducation camps he's already seen one from the inside that was after authorities arrested him one morning they interrogated him and asked him if he was a radical islamist or if it helped other muslims flee the country.

they sent me on a chair and questioned me. they tied up my hands and feet. then they took a stick and used it to beat me on my legs arms and feet for four days because. the chinese government calls the camps training centers state t.v. has repeatedly shown videos of what it claims are happy grateful citizens in classrooms. the students are mainly weekers and other minorities of turkey origin should all china accuses them of spreading terrorism and pursuing independence. experience has shown that the training centers are useful in fighting terrorism and extremism and for providing stability in. the shitty these centers are located in the northwest of china in the remote province of chin's yang. over the past few months human rights activists have identified at least sixty camps we

government he says operates on fear requiring absolute obedience from its citizens . when i was in the reeducation camp in prison i met other weekers they were businessmen teachers doctors and engineers not all of them were muslims some were not religious at all. that despite the government stated aim of cracking down on radical islam islam many people inching jang are living under a cloud of suspicion careful of any behavior that could see them jailed that includes visiting casares mosques which you can only do now if you are a tourist. truths have been pouring in for comics creator stan lee who died in on monday at the age of ninety five when he was the creative force behind marvel comics and alongside artist jack kirby he dreamed up iconic

superheroes such as the avengers and the ex-pat lees nuanced writing of those characters helped transform the comics job. he was the man who revolutionized comic books stan lee superhero of the marvel universe helps create iconic characters that have gripped generations. he's really an inspiration for anyone who wants to follow any kind of dream no matter what it is and he gave us these cool superheroes that everyone can kind of look up to no matter who you are incredibly say like he's he's kind of one and taught me how to read a little bit you know it's like. one of the greatest of all times to for the comic books. while at marvel in the one nine hundred sixty s. lee helped to reshape the comic books with complex characters and sophisticated plots but his most famous character almost didn't come to be here is lee recalling

the time he pitched the idea of spider-man a troubled teenager to marvel my publisher said stan you've launched it he said first of all nobody likes spiders you can call it hero spider-man secondly a teenager can be a hero we can only be a sidekick and lastly he said you say he's got all kind of problems don't you understand stan he's a hero heroes don't have problems at troy very road from there joe's what i knew. lead did know what his fans wanted and his relationship with them is an important part of his legacy. he's more it's fun to see his sons which i. think is done we. think is a book here i think it's a personal. well here to talk more about scott roxboro from our culture desk scott i know that in

when you're not here in the studio you're wearing a superman costume or spider-man call you got actually spider-man underwear all right so tell the truth who's your favorite your favorite marvel superhero it would be actually spider bad i mean that's probably stanley's famous character but it definitely had a huge influence on me when i was younger and still does i mean i don't know what is about a i know underpaid underappreciated journalist. superhero that really really speaks to me but you know i love i love that character and it was one of the first comic books i had read all these other different books superglue superman batman and so on but the stanley ones and particular spider-man were the first that i read that were about a teenager a young guy and we're funny i mean the thing that's great about spider-man character particular he's constantly wisecracking he never seems to take himself seriously and that really was so different for complex at that time and i think really set a new path that stanley really pioneered well tell us more about this new past how did how does stan lee succeed in making his characters so memorable i think it's

actually that is the fact that if you look at college books before hand in the one nine hundred fifty s. there was sort of censorship and comic books were quite bland and very two dimensional of the characters are very two dimensional what stanley did is he sort of brought the real world into comic books so spider-man is a good example he's a teenager he's got problems he's with his family with his job he's got his own neuroses but he's still somehow a superhero and the the comics are set in the real world and spider-man takes place in new york not in some sort of fantasy world and by bringing the real world into comic books he really in live and the other big thing with stan lee did was bring real world politics into comics most probably perhaps with the black panther which was the first african-american superhero and was directly inspired by the black power movement in the one nine hundred sixty s. and we've seen how influential that has been i think that is also why he still has had this legacy and why he had so such an impact on pop culture he was hugely

influential if you were to try to summarize his legacy where would you begin it's really difficult especially because he's had this sort of second period his career when the marvel films really took off about ten years ago now and those films have really transformed cinema i mean they become the most successful franchise i think if you count up all the marvel films. they grow something like twenty four billion a worldwide i think it's hard to find a single figure that's had more influence on pop culture than stanley and he really has been able to combine the sort of fantasy world sort of mythic fantasy world with real world politics and social commentary which is always part of his his his approach to comic books i think that's been perhaps his most lasting impact is this combination of of really almost silly pop culture with incredibly serious social commentary that merger into a form of popular entertainment will really be what we remember always remember

hall yes yes smash if so rocks were always a pleasure thanks so much scott roxboro from our culture desk. in tell us there's germany's xander severity of one his opening match at the a.t.p. finals in london the last tournament of the season is the youngest player in the men's top eight the twenty one year old beat veteran cliff kimmage in a tight to set affair alexander the chilly jimmy's debut at the a.t.p. finals last year but it was jinich that got off to a flying start this time around. the vacating croat stormed into an early three game late but spare of powered his way back and picked up his first set in his high break with a trademark backhand winner. and you know the second set both players dropped serve neither could gain the upper

hand and once again the set was decided and it's hybrid. spare have dominated another backhand when a down the line and in five match points. the world number five sealed victory with his first effort. his fifty fifth match winner of the year more than any other player unsure. or american over the tech giant suffering a bruising morning on the markets and the name of the tech giant terry is apple apple shares tanked five percent in the united states dragging other tech shares down all over the world today suppliers of mobile phone pods had said that their largest customer widely taken to be apple asking them to materially reduce shipments and vestas fear that the popular i phone is not selling as well as in the

past apple is already under pressure after posting disappointing earnings earlier this month back then apple said that it would no longer report sales numbers for its flagship smartphone investors criticize the lack of transparency. well certainly. during a one day something or you know. they're going to like but they're. really something to worry about who will take a look at. will perform a very strong more than. a week closer look at the curve. to remember about. the most valuable company in the world. deliver and deliver. the news of one product maybe not performing that or in. any compliment. to overreact.

and that was our financial market correspondent danielle corp on apple and the quite substantial losses there now amazon is ready to build its new. headquarters after a two year long search for the perfect location the seattle based online giant has settled on not one but two places to expand arlington virginia just outside of washington d.c. on the big apple but while most of our muscles new neighbors are happily using the web site for shopping not everyone is pleased to have the company move in next door . it's one of the biggest success stories in u.s. business amazon what started as an online bookseller is now a global e-commerce china and a major media publisher cloud storage provider software and gadget developer alexa what are your deal i have several instances including and even

a grocer all in all worth one trillion dollars no wonder everyone wants a part of it politicians from all over the country offered amazon outlandish deals to learn the company to their states and cities one even wanted to change his name . change my name. part of andrew anyway. so amazon located in seattle washington started its search for new digs two years ago two hundred thirty eight cities sent in their bids the list was whittled down to twenty finalists including some major business hubs like new york atlanta chicago and los angeles at last two cities remained new york and the crystal city area of arlington virginia. it was likely not the governor's offer to take on the firm's moniker that got him the deal tax breaks played a role as did new york's general ability to attract talent amazon plans to hire

twenty five thousand employees in each of its new locations most in crystal city seem ready for business locals in new york's district of long island city are worried about the planned campus it was one of the any pictures of a soccer stadium in one shot because i mean that infrastructure. indeed new york city is known for its crumbling infrastructure and traffic problems amazon might have to direct some of its promised five billion dollar investment just to find ways to get its employees. erick and home. or here in europe all eyes are still on rome and brussels the deadline for italy to present a revised budget plan ends today the e.u. is worried about plans by italy's coalition government to take out more debt to pay for expensive election campaign promises rome is planning big cuts in taxes to

boost growth but the e.u. says that that is unacceptable given enormous mountain of debt the biggest in real terms in europe italy is the euro zone's third largest economy in the second largest manufacturer in europe but despite the country's potential italian economic growth has been weak and it's been liking behind the use average. and of course more boring could jeopardize italy's credit worthiness and even put the entire eurozone address earlier we spoke to german economist you can stock the e.c.b. former chief economist and i asked him what was likely to happen next here's what he told us. at a certain point in time there will be a showed the question is whether the italian government will hit the wall with the commission or other european institutions over the markets i personally expect that the u.n. situations will stand firm not a given at this stage at least second that rating downgrades will follow

and credit spreads will widen further so in the end the italian government will have no choice than to soften its stance to soften its position. to police to an extent to avoid the escalation of the financial crisis that transfer if it's only going bankrupt. yeah i hope that this can be avoided and this would be the first case. i hope that the signals coming from the european peers from other european or euro area member states but also from other european institutions like the e.c.b. president draghi was very outspoken in his recent press conference that italy cannot expect any support coming from d.c. b. it is not even within the men date of the e.c.b. to finance the fiscal deficits so i think the the messages coming from the piazza futilely pretty clear but i personally expect that markets going to behave more.

secure to italy that it is a dead end and continuing this way of putting making. that was for me is the chief economist you're talking to. and here's a reminder now of the top stories we're following for you. palestinian militants in gaza threaten to launch more rocket attacks on israel israeli warplanes struck targets throughout the gaza strip overnight in response to rocket fire the united nations has appealed for restraint from both sides. and a wildfire in northern california has killed more than forty people making into the most deadly blaze in the state's history two other fires near los angeles have forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes. they're watching the news live from the island more coming up on the top of the hour if you can see them.
