feel the symphony's of the hotness bomb. how did the romantic master come up with such a piece of. the bronze colored. tobar 11th on d w enough. 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. it would have been back there if he had not. said. there's a sense of encouragement that. this would be binary. 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. i'm british manager welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us has been described as nothing but a large scale monitoring enterprise and by official estimates it's claimed more than 6000 lives other statements that are out of policed double that and yet it continues its philippines president 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 leonie robredo. she was elected separately from deter and this from another party in an exclusive interview with correspondent. roberto offered her views on the popular president and his

words. today w. is talking with philippine vice president lennier bread are 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 the state of ramallah snus 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 is that number one. that the sat is not well that number 2. there is small you know that ability the ability of a fish. are not important so what when this is the message that you gives

bestially to implementors of the law is very dangerous and i think that asked to be there so much in the manner that activists now are being killed in many of the president's speech other have been threats of violence through the many sectors of the us i have shown their dissent and are for one if i remember a progressive there. encouraged attacks on the path of the of the church and encouraged the burning of blue one school was in fact there was also one find that. he told the soldiers and the police shoot female. female activists in their genitalia. the men around them the spokesperson for example are all all risk quit the band that this prayer are mere words in the press and then when to pursue

them but only as the president. or and the so authority 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 a. because it gives mixed signals event f.p. picks backus words it gives make mixed signals on that in and of in on the end of why he said that all what the president really wants there is a sense of encouragement that. this actions 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 will befall 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 it is continued support still for the war on drugs the president. by minute again made it very clear that he was ok with. how the war on drugs was being exactly. yes also means the manse are reprimanding members of the philippine national police . will not boller a those who have been abusing 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 now 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 president he has been contesting. 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 very regularly. but when the extrajudicial killings became an issue i felt that i had an obligation to you know say my piece it

was something that i was very mild much against of. so i was available all of the 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 confident 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 are running i promised my children that this would be the last. 16 would be the last elections for me but then i do realize that i have an obligation divorce so i'm just doing the best i can as a vice president given the limit them and they need have been behind event in a climate and environment that we have and given the difficult piece. on doing the best that they can and you know anything can happen by that i mean be during the 2nd half of 2021 and that's very near very near very near to the bully and on that note thank you very much vice president regret for joining us today thank you . and you can watch the full interview with philippine vice president made of bread

dough 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 protest starting a new ban that threatens a year in jail but just to protest us so far have taken the full their path in court today forced to remove their mosques but found a protesters gather with umbrellas to mosque that identities the pair were charged with unlawful assembly and defying the ban but the tents by hong kong authorities took up the under arrest is just fueling more contempt among protesters and the resolution remains elusive i've got. reports from hong kong. to k.l. snell say widespread it's verging on the. the end to say

deep it's becoming harder and harder to escape. authorities say it seems like this to justify sweeping new emergency palace. i but house on the streets the ban on face mosques is having little effect with protesters warning is just the tip of the iceberg. i didn't say at 1st pace that they even cry they are part of the law and i think that's much much more to come though on these of gray area more and more angry but you never know what the government will put up there was i am just worried about the whole called off. 10 year chant is among a number of pro-democracy lawmakers challenging the emergency during cool she says it gives chief executive kerry lam unlimited power to impose what she calls authoritarian measures this is a very very dangerous situation it's really taking away our freedoms our

human rights and it's a pure violation of one country 2 system and basic laws so no more separation of powers even legislature is under the control of. the room the mail is now in a drive many paranoid about what could come next possibilities range from extending how long the rest of protesters can be detained for to restricting access to communication networks and the curfew measures whose reach would extend far beyond the protests on the streets with much of the was violence taking place late into the evening police the pushing for khaki in particular but many of the entertainment industry wanted that to take an even greater toll on local businesses . and restaurants already suffering with locals and tourists alike often prefer to keep away. one industry insider tells me a curfew would put even more jobs at risk. you find on the bimah i might if those

people lose their jobs have no idea what to do what can they do because the government want them to join the protesters is that what the government wants. to know my think walk. with protesters and authorities both refusing to back down and many in hong kong fear the worst is yet to come. with that. quite a show of defiance there in hong kong and that's our show for today you can find most stories on our website. and on facebook and. even though the pictures of the. protests today. thank you for watching your next time.
