is this the beginning of a did you. know we'd be subjected to continuous street surveillance. they are the experts be able to agree on the guard warnings or will this technology create a deadly new war conover's workers are still. in robot mode starts aug 14th on t.w. . this is the daily news asia coming up what happens when the guest you had planned for this program is a no show because you caught arrested in hong kong well we find out how things played out and promised a good conversation plus. after what the u.n. has called genocide the government of myanmar says it wants to see the real hinge of a minority is persecuted back in the country we'll take

a closer look. and a thunderings thrill ride we get front row seats for any pakistani people raise a sport that's not for the faint of heart. i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia thank you for joining us we start with hong kong's ongoing protests now on monday we had scheduled a guest to come on the program but he didn't end up making it because he was arrested during the weekend for obstructing a police officer that's according to police as a quick reminder hong kong has had a summer of discontent 1st over an unpopular extradition bill that will allow the government to hand over people in the city to china to the unrest now which has become a more general expression of resistance against the communist. already in beijing

so i guess the activists johnson young was held and then at one point police took him back to his apartment for a home search here they are looking through his stuff and young had a message for everyone. i feel with this. seriously justified he said. for her to see that. whole situation now i. care why i hold you for fighting for freedom so they can free. you. we're glad to now get our guest johnson young cheney in on the program freed after about 40 hours or so or was it 48 hours tell us what happened in jail. oh thank you for having me so a bit joe from i was quite harsh and most people tell me the police are power and they were her hostility to protest us we were locked in

a car that was transformed into a detention center it was very hard because he's a pretty great houses out there and people were not allowed to sleep at the 1st 20 hours after more than 20 hours we were in a cell with rooms full full and then people were taken away to do a home search which was unnecessary so there were lots of abuse of power. now you were arrested for obstructing police is that what happened. well yes i was a restless for all struction and as a mets all fat i compiled lived a police instruction doing that. and i don't know why the police still arrest me doing that coles to address the police punch me and they were using excess is false to stop me and then i was to came on the car to the police station and this is my i have some experience in the west but this is my this is the 1st time that the

police you home searched to intimidate and harass my family in memphis but now we had originally planned to get you on the program to talk about this summer of protest in hong kong and why people were continuing to go out onto the street so my question is why have you been out on the streets and why do you plan to remain out on the streets. of freedom and also they all told me off home the fact that the police brutality is still happening and worse in the systems in a phone call is walton says he is going to change so having carried them to a science or having to pay for all or suspend the controversial is extradition bit is not enough now we require a kind of the investigations of the police brutality and also universal suffrage because we don't want people to get hurt. just because we will want to defend their basic freedoms and i am still on the street made my fellow activists and people

because we need protection and institutionalized protection is to our human rights how do you feel about what's happening do you think it's possible to have a good resolution to this. i think is really up to the government to decide. i think they understand the gravity of having them to recal and we have protesters and make peace. but the problem is chinese government is ticking and hot dry up poachers they want a cold front that will they want to change international human rights. although we appears to be sticks but we're still fighting because we have no way to back down there's no room for us to be of joy or if we want to bend the freedoms of all poles johnson young kenyan thank you. let's costs now to south asia and proposals to solve one of the region's worst refugee crises

bangladesh has housed large numbers of the hinges an ethnic group in camps for years many of them had fled myanmar in 2017 in fear for their lives that country's military had begun to crack down in iraq kind state ethnically hinges say they were the targets while the government of myanmar insists it was just going after suspected terrorists but the u.n. special repertoire on myanmar has described the campaign as genocide myanmar is trying to convince the ranger to come back it's a hard sell to people who say they've been treated as pariahs in the land they called home. waiting to catch a glimpse of the visitors tossed with deciding def you chose the delegation led by me and mosque foreign secretary has come for a 2nd time to meet with the engine leaders it's a 2nd try and talks working out how to repatriate the hundreds of thousands of ranger refugees and bangladesh one of the main stumbling blocks citizenship. those

who live in for 3 generations they are entitled to apply for the what we call naturalized citizen ship once parents apply for their natural citizenship vs sons and daughters their offspring are entitled to apply for the citizenship that often however is unacceptable for many of the over 720000 to hinder who have fled the country they consider their home to escape violence and death that the ethnic minority had long been labeled illegal immigrants even if their families had lived in man ma for generations. now those who found shelter in camps like the ones in bangladesh south eastern border want assurances. are that i literally don't accept that we are citizens of a country we want our full citizenship card we will not accept just a naturalized citizen ship card we are indigenous real hinge oh we do not accept

this paper we don't agree i we are donating here i doubt anybody got enough to give us full citizenship then we will go if we accept just a naturalized citizen ship card and go back they will again slaughter us and kill us we will not go out about out of the. the revenge of rejecting to be treated like foreigners in the room country bangladesh blames me i'm awful the slow repatriation process the country will not force the revenger to go back to me and ma though and at the moment they will not return for a small as their final recognition that own homeland continues so. joining us now is dr and need a shared spokesperson for the european we hinge a council i guess the fundamental problem is a lack of trust between the 2 sides between their hand just and the government of myanmar yes because the government of myanmar has not being

a person a sieve over the past years it has committed crimes against our in the community so i think their government can regain its trust by working on the 1982 citizenship law for us for those who don't really understand that could you explain a little bit more about that agreement is the citizenship law it's based on 1982 citizenship law which requires there he goes to provide their ancestral documents prove that there were reciting in rakhine state or our economy for the british team and that is a night $800.00. 24 so most of the part of the war cannot provide such documents so why though he goes along even the ones who are. considered as ethnic groups in myanmar they cannot provide such documents so why to accept from the one your community how confident are you then that this law can change. this

law can change because it is not based on the international norms all the countries which are practicing democracy. there have certain sets of laws what is citizenship and i think burma if it is under part towards democracy then they should amend this law otherwise all the ethnic minorities in the country including the us on the north sea and you think that's really the the main a barrier for region just to consider being repatriated yes because if the citizenship citizen is protected by the law if warning us are not considered citizens of myanmar they are not protected by law and that's why the military has the impunity the other extremists like your kind extremists and religious extremists have the impunity to continue prosecuting our community and committing crimes on and on again and again dr anita should thank you
