[000:00:00;00] led . up to the fall of the berlin wall. to double. leg. this is. coming up. encouraging violence in the philippines the philippines president has asked for catholic bishops to be killed and for female rebels to be violently punished now is vice president. violent rhetoric like that is the wrong message from the president . that there if he had not. said elsewhere there's

a sense of encouragement that. and in hong kong a mosque ban pushes protesters out onto the streets we look at how 4 months of these protests are already impacting local businesses. welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us it's been described as nothing but a large scale monitoring enterprise and by official estimates it's claimed more than 6000 lives other testaments that are. double that and yet it continues its philippines president rhodri good to turn to so-called war on drugs a war now being investigated by the u.n. human rights council it's a campaign that's a broad term at loggerheads with his own vice president lenny robredo. he was elected separately from deter and this from another party in an exclusive interview

with correspondent santals robredo offered her views on the popular president and his words. today w. is talking with philippine vice president lennier bread all about politics extrajudicial killings and manila's war on drugs vice president or brother thank you very much for joining me for having other have been continued reports of violence and a state of lawlessness in the philippines there is news of environmental activists human rights defenders and of course drug related killings to what extent has mr deterrent as violent rhetoric contributed to this culture of violence the message this that number one. that this is not well that number 2. there is small you know that ability the whole debility of

a fish. are not important so when this is the message that you give special to implementors of the law this is very dangerous and i think this has got to be so much in the manner that the vests now are being killed in many of the president's speech other have been threats of violence through the many sectors of society showing their dissent are for one if i remember a progressive there. encouraged attacks on the path of the attic church and encourage the burning of blue one school was in fact there was also busy one find that. he told the souldiers and the police shoot female. female activists in their genitalia.

i think the men around them the spokesperson for example are all risk quit the band that this prayer are mere words in the press and then then we in to pursue them but you know he's the president this year and the so authorities really makes a great impact on the record that this is the kind of environment that we are encouraging so do you think it is also take words for mr detour to stop it it would have been better if he had not. said those words. because it gives mixed signals event f.p. backus words it gives mixed signals on that in and of you know on the end of why he said that all what the president really wants there is a sense of encouragement that. this action would be binary that in fact if you remember if you remember correctly there have been many times that the president assured

a members of the philippine national police or soldiers that they would be perfect that nothing with nothing bad to build the fall upon them if they follow his orders are not of the violence over the last 3 years can be traced back to the administration's so-called war on drugs and you have criticized this policy along with other human rights organizations so how is this now still how do would you explain president that there discontinued support still for the war on drugs the president. by a minute again made it very clear that he was ok with. how the war on drugs was being exactly. he has also made the manse reprimanding members of the philippine national police. will not tolerate a those who have been abusing their their powers. so you know

this this types of propaganda i think makes it very confusing for people the philippines is quite unique in that way that the president and the vice president are elected from different parties don't necessarily have to be from the same party how is that made for a working relationship between you and the president there is some good in the president the vice president not coming from the same party because it provides for checks and balances but if they are able to work together despite their differences then it would have been for the benefit. of the people from day one your vice presidency has been contested. would you would you would it have been different if you were more supportive of the president i guess so there was a time there was a time when i thought that we would be able to work really well i

attended the cabinet meetings made regularly. but when the extrajudicial killings became an issue i felt that i don't an obligation on to you know say my piece it was something that i was very mild much. of. so i was available all the bachmann opposition on your vice presidency is being contested on another front so this is bonbon mark orse ran against you for the vice presidency and lost but i filed an electoral protest how are you preparing for the possibility that he might win this electoral protest. you know for one thing i could not see a situation where he would win. we are very good and of our victory he filed a case based on 3 grounds before the supreme court while i cannot talk about the details of the case because of

a gag order. just to contextualize all the 3 of the 3 courses of action one has already been just me mr to tara this term and 2022 are you planning to run for president i don't have plans of running i never had plans of running i promised my children this would be the last. 16 would be the last elections for me but then i do realize that i have an obligation to bristle so i'm just doing the best i can as a vice president given the limit them and they need have been behind events and climate and environment that they have and given the difficult piece. on doing the best that they can and in the anything can happen by that i mean be joining the 2nd half of 2021 and that's very near very near very near to the plea and on that note thank you very much vice president of bread for joining us today thank

you. and you can watch the full interview with philippines vice president negative breteau on our youtube channel that's at youtube dot com for slash news. the look of defiance in hong kong tens of thousands will face masks during this weekend's phosphorous starting a new ban that threatens a year in jail but just to protest us so far have taken the fall they appeared in court today forced to remove their mosques but fan of protesters gathered with umbrellas to mosque that identities the pair were charged with unlawful assembly and defying the ban but attempts by hong kong authorities took up the under arrest is just fueling more contempt among protesters and the resolution remains elusive. reports from. the chaos
