to. discover who. subscribed to documentary. this is. coming up on the program on the streets against racism a 3rd day of protest. but why do people. just explain coming up. beijing has ramped up its efforts to antiquities colonial times it's become

a point of national pride plus plastic fishing nets discarded in the indian ocean get a 2nd. life so. i'm british welcome. it's good to have you with us. none of these people on the streets in eastern indonesia want to be called monkeys that is what the activists allege 43 papuan students were cold when police detained them last week and protesters have made their anger known over. there clashed with police blocked roads and set on fire a prison and no kampala buildings have been torched as well the government has responded by sending 100 additional police force. to west papua and pop up

provinces. of these provinces were afforded to odan indonesia's far east right here it's worth remembering and also mentioning that aside from the cotton protests the provinces have also been home to a separatist movement against the indonesian government since the 1960 s. bumpkins claim that to victory was illegally and mixed by indonesia they also accuse the government of human rights abuses and racial discrimination for more context on the protests in buffalo i spoke to a pretty. a puppet novelist and john list he has hover you on the government's response to the demonstrators that we can't just won't give in and he said the government for 50 years illegally released can really even at least in our homeland is comedian lisa. white to d.v.

just leave it to government to solve the problem not guess. and the browns never saw it but it was just like for me but what he needs to be like i step stepson from unity because we always get that racism also and we have also get this commission. in many parts of life it's about burying. us so why don't these 2 left by yet only for like what did us do to immediately ready by us so to be reshot so the seed. was heavily likely for me to get from where you are but after 2001 people who come to public want not only up when and also part of what is rest after but they also want to get a lot of money from the poor get the meal out what and up when might be just what my mother lynn was suspicious of the only money so they're only my niece not only.

want to get that. problem but also for that migrant. for an author and journalist appear in our wire. according to one widely cited government estimate more than 10000000 antiquities have disappeared from china since 840 is the start of a peter china refers to as the century of humiliation when foreign troops plundered and store thousands of items of trying out cultural heritage returning these artifacts to try to has become the mission of a number where the chinese began as an art collectors but increasingly some western collectors are telling these items as well so all catches for the superstitious are parts for storing grain even in china they can't agree on what these fossils were

for for the museum director the most important thing is that they have arrived unscathed in shanghai. these 2 objects were stolen from china. the cultural heritage that has been illegally smuggled out of the country will censorship at all something art collector hank newman has only found out after he bought and take good care of my former priest and they had found their way to europe via hong kong and of course you exhibit it or put it in a cabinet with the legislation is getting stricter so i decided to give it back to china this i think that's the best thing i'm not going to south stolen goods it's not right and it's my duty to live out he bought a large part of his collection at art fairs and auction houses he finds it unbelievable that he never sounded the alarm. you'd think they'd fly gates but that's not happening and it's just ridiculous the stone and cultural heritage is

sold fast. food for crawford there are international agreements restricting sales but they're not always respected particularly in europe but they are fed with the right papers you can easily get more than 100000 euros as they hope his example will lead to more watching how could i do that so i'm confident that mr new and houses approach will also have an impact abroad this really sets an example for. the pieces will soon go on display at the shanghai museum until then they're kept here safely under lock and key. joining me now is professor quentin parker from the university of hong kong welcome professor now china has a dedicated agency whose job is to retrieve lost art what is its reach like and how effective is it. 1st of all i'd like to say that every nation whose cultural

heritage has been plundered he serves the opportunity to repatriate and looted artifacts including objects are not works and perhaps know no more so than china now the fact that china has established such an agency gives it a greater reach if it's adequately resourced to be given sufficient government resources then of course china has the capacity to trawl through all the available options are going on around the world looking for objects of chinese cultural heritage value that may not have adequate provenance so they don't have adequate providence that's an indication that perhaps these objects have been acquired in nonstandard way perhaps even illegally with such an agency. to investigate this in the tower and also start to exert pressure a nation state like china has the ability to exert quite a lot of soft power to make things happen in this area and how does time exactly go

about exerting soft barmen that have been reports in the past for a number of and antiques have been stolen from the places that they were stored in is that the kind of soft bar you're perhaps fighting to. i don't believe personally that china is in the business of raiding and museums overseas and repatriating objects to china because it did it would be immediately obvious if i put them into a museum that they'd come from a different museum in a different country suddenly reappear in china and i would cause enormous problems so i don't believe that's actually anything that's serious in terms of suggestions that are kind of activities going on but what i saw power mean that you know that with the economic clout that a country like china hasn't with that much of the world involved in serious trade with the nation of china then this does give such a country quite quite or. an ability to to exert soft power in all sorts of

different ways i'm not saying any of this is bad i'm just saying you know a nation's like america thomas in the past britain in the 18th or 19th century so this is just their real politic of the world at the moment that's such a powerful country like china has more that it can do within its armory of activities that can make things happen let's talk about the legal processes if somebody wants to. store on our china what is involved in that about creation process. that's a very good question and the much depends on the kinds of objects involved who is the person or persons or in the newseum the house these are the facts and where have those are the facts come from is there a paper trail that shows how these objects were a client and how long ago was it because a lot of things come down to things like provenance you know provenance is just the pipe the trial evidence that's an object is gone through museums and collectors for

a long period of time and then you end up with it being in a museum eventually and then you can go back through this paper trial and say ok we now know that it came from the some a promise in 1960 looted by frame each soldier and obviously therefore you have the you stated that you need to start the repatriation process right now from the river for the time being but thanks very much for joining us professor brenton parker from investor off on kong it's known as a ghost here hundreds of kilometers of plastic fishing nets lost to the wild orphans every year they can see life and degrade into mike for plastics that then enter the food chain but now a dutch company has teamed up with around 1000 fishermen in india to retrieve the mets and read gone at them for the horn the different purpose either that obama. these fishermen in southern india are getting ready for a day out at sea but they're not looking for fish instead they're on the lookout

for abandoned fishing nets floating in the indian ocean. and the worry of what i wanted to get out by extracting these nets from the sea were in a way creating with the earning some money. nylon netting not only snags but propellers it also traps marine life and degrades into micro plastics fishing nets can take hundreds of years to break down and fishing gear makes up up to 70 percent of surface debris in the world's oceans but now a dutch company is working with indian fisherman to retrieve discarded fishing nets and with these women to recycle them. we are not only for our family but working here this is our livelihood. once the nets have been cleaned and cut up that turned into plastic granules one of the companies

that uses them is the surfboard make us double it in bangkok thailand. then we try to see where we can place to meet great places the civil places in our projects from boards to females to vioxx wherever the people can see them and understand that actually recycling is like an index remain in. the indonesian island of bali is a surfing mecca that's also battling a tide of plastic waste choking its rivers and beaches. recycling initiatives like these are just a drop in our increasingly polluted oceans though the world produces hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste every year. that's a phenomena all the stories from the region and this episode available on our website you know about going forward slash is. really right now with
