has been permitted to travel abroad but it's a decision the government is now being criticised. welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us what you see behind me is just a small sample of the beauty to be found in china's vost wilderness bazza which the government now wants to incorporate into a national park system a system with nature conservation as its main goal one of the 1st box will be the sun john un national park it's you know would encompass the headwaters all 3 of biggest of us system is the yellow river the mekong river and the young sea but the head of the opening next year there are concerns about what it might mean for the local population many a form of tibet

a no man's. luscious mountains clear that is and abundant wildlife. including the rez know lebed these are some of the treasures of what set to become one of china's 1st national parks inching high province conservationists are excited it's huge it's diverse it's got almost every ecosystem you could possibly look for. creating spaces to protect nature is not a new idea in china some 15 percent of the land has been set aside as parks but they are run by various agencies and currently don't have an forcible guidelines to protect their ecosystems the government is hoping a unified national park system will change that. the inspiration national parks in the united states such as the famous yellowstone chinese

officials have visited there and have been consulting with u.s. environmental grapes on how to replicate their success at hime in the u.s. they are a source of pride of national pride and i think they certainly could be here in china as well. the chinese government has already stopped issuing mining and hydropower permits in the ching hai region and it's started to employ people from the area to perform conservation related tasks like collecting trash and keeping an eye out for purchase. if we fail to protect this homeland we will have failed to take care of ourselves all those old. there are a number of people who support and will benefit from the creation of the national park inching high province but there is concern about what it will mean for the bulk of the local population many of whom are tibetan mance more than 100000

people live within the park's boundaries only about. i and chinese officials have alluded that some of them will be free locate it. i don't believe you believe we are going to move all to all the people with the like of the future national and so the so that's what we need to respond to the traditional we move like a community. in the early to thousands tens of thousands of tibetan moments where pay to resettle in townships ending their traditional way of life to enable china to conserve and show off its environmental trashes. this man here has been prime minister of pakistan 3 times but never once could be complete is to me all the vast city has had his dams cut short by a president a military coup and recently by

a corruption conviction but now after being granted bail in the case the government has offered him to leave for medical treatment abroad this has caused a political headache for the current prime minister. is in karachi to explain why sherman iran economy is facing criticism for the offer of allowing sharif to leave the country why. because. on the fact that certain corrupt politicians and bug stunts economy. diving because of these corrupt politicians they should be cried and cried when he comes to power and they will not be allowed to leave the country so his voters expect. a sharif the former prime minister who was jailed on corruption charges should not be allowed to leave the country but now we see that the government is

making concessions but if this is such a political. why was this all for to leave the country made in the 1st place. well it is a fact that health condition is deteriorating so it is a huge problem and also the government has not been really functional in the past one year since cancun to both the economy is not doing well. and on top of it there's a headache that sherry who has a potent caucus on one of the biggest parties in eads so there is a problem that is in jail health is deteriorating so the army the most powerful institution august on out so once he is out the government can focus on governance issues so that's why you know me you know the influential institutions in the country. think this is the kind of deal. but the

trouble don't really and. he's already facing goals to step down does this make the situation more untenable for him. well. the last huge 1st protests in the slum above east demanding conferencing condition and that is still on going through the bridger is all the coffee he use not ready to step down but their upper chest is in a slow large number of protesters i don't see that pressure is piling up on con that you know sheriff must be allowed to leave so in this situation khan has a huge challenge on the one hand he has for years in the slum about on the other he has to be sure even one way or the other and there's a huge had a phone from strong. thanks very much for that analysis. british.

thousands dead skyrocketing addiction and in the end of drugs a problem that's only wasn't philippians president rodriguez to take this so-called war on drugs hasn't gone to plan so no he's offered the job to one of his fiercest critics his vice president many of the bread dough she's been made co-chair of the agency doest with combating illegal drugs she's described the drugs related killings by police as senseless and condemned to death or for granted that the critics say encourages police to shoot 1st and ask questions later here's what you don't do don't do in an exclusive interview last month it would have been that there if people had that you know said elsewhere is a. because it gives mixed signals event if p. picks back his swearing it gives nick mixed signals on that and. you know i and then of why he said that all what the precedent he wants there's a sense of encouragement that. this actions would be binary that in fact if you

remember if i remember correctly there have been many times that the president assuring a members of the philippine national police and soldiers that they would be protected that nothing with nothing bad to fall upon them if they follow his orders. that interview conducted by the correspondent dos rather than to try to so-called war on drugs has also been the subject of research and analysis by carlos condit from human rights watch and he joins me now from manila carlos good to see you i suppose the 1st question that springs to my mind is we really let me robredo actually be able to make a difference. i'm very sure that it good evening yes a good question and we are very very hopeful. vice president cheney over it will

rice the challenge she's a very smart very committed. leader and we think that she has what it takes to really match the mice and a mandate that was given to her despite the odds. are obviously the arts are not in her favor because of the opposition to her. leadership by the government over who we're going to there to but again we are hoping indeed reisa charming but it's more than just the opposition to a division isn't it carlos i mean let's just look at the position that you hold she's the culture of this isn't see that as a spearheading the end to drugs been in the philippines and this quarter she needs to get the agreement of at least 20 other agencies that are part of this committee other quarter who was also injured in this committee he himself does not have confidence in the vice president and but he has said in the past that she's bound to fail because she has no experience in dealing with nor enforcers there's

a significant odds carlos. india these are really just michigan odds and in fact those were the precise views on supply initially many people were skeptical about this offer by president if there is a device president did they think this precisely why because you know there's setting a trap for her. and in fact for her money for her office to really make a difference she has to surmount all of this so i don't then use that she has hat he might have operational control for instance of the drug operations hugh must have the same power or in fact more power to end up the chairman of the co-chair of the entire it gets a committee and. really right now the voice in the hands of their demonstration moved by their meeting to give the vice president all the chance and all the resources that she needs to do this monday and i guess you are hopeful but again

these are really really. one is hope the other to be added to and that added to being that. there's methods to implement what populism the. i mean he's popularity has been steady i mean there are questions people are saying that it's not as. strong like it used to be but he's still very very popular i'm not. a popularity obviously. this favor but again under drug was drug on for. more than 3 years now and there's no end in sight and i think we are hopeful at this stage in my own. we are hopeful that vice president cheney rooted on. the drug policies of the 2nd decision right colors go in there from here one rights watch thank you very much for speaking to us. that's it for today were you do not look at minimal folk to be extinct or turns out
