welcome to. it's good to have you with us we begin in china where the fate of this man has prompted a diplomatic rebuke a clarification and then disbelief this is we go up to him hey it after reports of his death in a chinese into internment. video was released. today . twenty nine hundred. the process of being investigated for allegedly violating the national laws.

well the i'm now in good health and have never been abused the last film of the other video purports to show hate alive but in prison prisons that us from across northwest china housing more than a million muslims in what china has called reeducation reports of the death of hate or prompted for the first time a rebuke from a majority muslim nation turkey it called the reintroduction of internment camps in the twenty first century a great shame for humanity and asked china to close the internment camps here is how the chinese government responded to i see myself i am the turkish foreign ministry spokesperson statement said the famous weaker folk musician he yet died in prison while serving his second year of sentence but i saw him on line yesterday showing that he is not only alive but also very healthy path joining me for more than london is write him a memo that she's a single and human rights activist this move thank you so much for speaking to us i

just have to ask you at the outset do you still believe that observer heem. is still alive. thank you for having me i would like to be dave that he is alive but the radio that china has put raises a lot of questions for example there are no details about where he used how the which isn't hey zain and also from the contents of what he said it sounded as if he was forced to repeat what he was told he said oh no we want you in that case in good health but we can see that the video on the radio ok look ten years at least ten years older than they did be full but this follows a similar pattern the china has employed in the past and rich people who have been accused of crimes against the state or whom the state is investigating suddenly appear in dumbs of a video confession confessing to their crimes all making some such claims yes

this is a very common common act that china all chinese government also force that plays knows should do a lot to say what they are what they are forced to to do what the crimes that of the regime how youth is in a prison for. he has no crime but according to his close friend who was arrested in april two thousand and seventeen because a lot of the songs that he sang and called out to lot of fathers as the poet of the regime of delight i whole wrote the lyrics was also arrested at that time and there was a one phrase in all i want is that shape is that mark says a hole was mis interpreted by the chinese government as being a call for jihad the actual song was about remembering the grave father who

for the course back to protect that country and people and criticizing the young man of today colette responsibility and the only like partying but this was. this was taken again from three mate now the turkish government is also the cams in . to be closed down do you think that this will have an impact on the chinese government this awful lot will we are very happy at least that turkish government at last speak up against this terrible atrocities what is happening to we want people but i doubt it giving how the chinese government always acts to gain that all know why. but i do hope that that well take some effect not the united nations and other human rights bodies of also

criticised these internment camps that china holds reeducation camps. but these camps continue to exist do you think that the international community has seen the we goods of china. yes i can say so because they think if the government of the chinese government not only and close did not close the camps but expanding it continuously and they have that still arresting more and more people and different people into these camps and going through indoctrinate programs and people are dying and being tortured in those camps but the international community not really acting all own doing enough to stop or to stop this they can't china's government keady committing and i guess came if humanity and the international community i believe should do

mall to try to stop this but remember most single and human rights activists joining us from london thank you very much speaking to us next to melissa what a court has deferred the start date of a corruption trial against former prime minister najib razak the trial will set to begin on tuesday it relates to his involvement in the one n.d.b. wealth fund he set up where he was prime minister in the present case prosecutors of alleged rosat pocketed a little over ten million dollars from the fund and that might just be the tip of the iceberg in to prove he has been hit with forty two charges linked to the fund the scandal over one m.t.v. was one of the key factors that contributed to his defeat in general elections last year since then the government headed by prime minister mahathir mohamad has stepped up investigations into the case as more. he's adamant he's

innocent and he's fighting back storming social media and remaking his image he's hit the airwaves with a cover of an old r. and b. song slamming the new government as miers. in all magic faces forty two counts of criminal breach of trust graft abuse of power and money laundering. soon after he was sworn in as prime minister in two thousand and nine he set up the one n.d.p. state development fund with saudi money to boost the economy. in twenty fourteen he seemed to be riding high hosting the asean summit in kuala lumpur but behind the scenes according to the us department of justice no less than four and a half billion dollars were being stolen from the fund by not jobs associates the us also says the money was then laundered outside the country and that close to seven hundred million dollars ended up in own bank account the stunning allegations

of massive graft and mismanagement hit in twenty fifteen. year tourney general who started an investigation into the one n.d.p. scandal his successor said the seven hundred million had been a gift to not from a saudi prince and there was nothing criminal about it. twenty sixteen people took to the streets to demand his resignation nonetheless the investigations were stifled. then in may last year not last the general election the new government reopened investigations into one n.d.p. nadji but his wife were barred from leaving the country policed seized the truckloads of swag from their properties cash jewelry and design a baggs worth two hundred seventy million dollars. awaiting trial has been busy remaking himself as a man of the people and posting cool videos to facebook his new images casual and sporty just a regular guy to find suits and nowhere in sight. currying favor with the people is

one thing convincing the court of his innocence quite another if found guilty he faces lengthy terms in jail. rather go now to pakistan amid the hustle and bustle of the country's dusty highways there's always a few bright spots driving along truckers paid top dollar to adorn their rigs with intricately painted models it's a kaleidoscope of moving art that reflects social trends tracking the ups and downs of the country's political leaders and channeling those guys are talented artists will become a source of national pride. hi there ali first picked up a painting brush at the age of six. the karate based artist spent his childhood playing at truck painting workshops. like father train me while i was playing whatever games were appropriate for my age i started by coloring the
