plague. is the few that you news live from for len hong kong leader kerry last promising to listen humbly after voters send a clear message to beijing pro-democracy candidates making massive games as the pro beijing vote collapses in municipal elections the vote was seen as a referendum on the hong kong's political turmoil. also coming up the leaked

documents shed light on the chinese government's vast attention of weaker muslims in a network of prison camps beijing insisting that they are simply voluntary education centers and a french mother's fight for justice after her daughter was murdered her daughter was stabbed to death by and ex-boyfriend france has the highest murder rate of women in general and although the government is working on a new law to better protect women some say it isn't enough. plus the violence against football referee after a spike in attacks on match officials in germany fans have come together to show their support and protest against violence toward official. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program how do. prosy supporters in hong kong are

celebrating after securing a landslide victory in municipal elections the pro-democracy camp has won almost $390.00 council seats compared to less than 60 for pro beijing parties and now controls a majority of councils in the city now hong kong residents turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots in this election which was widely seen as a referendum on the pro-democracy movement after nearly 6 months of protest. another seat for the pro-democracy camp never the full has it won so many in a district council election kelvin lim one of the women is he says voters wanted to make their voices heard after seeing the heavy handed tactics of the home. happy with how they deal with. police brutality is

actually. i think people should really. perceive the future pro-democracy protests already started to celebrate early in the night when it became clear that some of the probating had waits had lost their seats a service had urged people to get out and cast their ballots 70 percent of answered the call if there are more hong kong is casting their ballots it means a better democracy so if this year's voter turnout is higher than the previous election i think that's quite positive for the polls to elect district council they have little political power controlling some spending and issues like recycling and public health hong kong's district councils have long been dominated by to probating establishment this time and for the 1st time the scales have tipped decisively in favor of the pro-democracy movement of them are now we're joined live

from hong kong by our correspondent charlotte charles impels so we have some stunning results here charlotte how are hong konger is reacting today. sara i think both camps today are astonished at those election results last night typically the pro establishment parties dominate these district council elections this time around they have practically been obliterated we're hearing from local media that some 90 percent of seats have now gone to pro democracy candidates now those candidates were expecting to make some gains particularly in light of the numbers the registration things the number of voters who did turn out to cost their ballots yes that but they weren't expecting anything like this as i'm sure you can imagine they are now celebrating what they see as a massive victory and potentially a turning point in this almost 6 month pro democracy movement on the part of the

the pro stablish main parties then now licking their wounds the chairwoman of the beijing party the da these offer to resign after suffering stunning losses on her parts of that office wasn't taken up now we were out one of the polling stations last night where jimmy sharon the pro-democracy activists was elected he won the seat from the an incumbent we were watching as people watching that count unfold watching democracy in action huge cheers when his victory was announced among the people who would that in his victory speech he said that his win with all those people who have suffered so much over the last 6 months for the pro-democracy movement including all those that up to more than 5000 people have been arrested as part of these protests a look at charlotte what is the impact likely to be because i mean it is just a municipal election so ultimately how is it likely to affect hong kong's relations with mainland china. we have had

a response from mainland china this morning the foreign minister has said in a statement that hong kong is part of china no matter what happens in india. anything that would affect the stability and prosperity of hong kong now as you say in reality district council is a don't have a huge amount of clout to this day usually more about community issues this time day very different this was all about a vote on the politics and on this protest movement there are a couple of factors though that need to be taken into account district council is now that the pro-democracy camp has a majority they will now win more seats on the committee that will appoint the next chief executive in 2022 so there are some. limited powers of these district councils to influence politics in hong kong going pull it. in

hong kong thank you charlotte. leaked chinese government documents have revealed details about the massed attention of weaker muslims at least a 1000000 people from the minority group are believed to be held in internment camps a group of investigative journalists has published the papers which contradict china's claims of the camps are voluntary free education facilities in response the chinese embassy in britain called people in the camps trainees and said that their personal freedom was quote fully guaranteed. these confidential chinese government documents lay bare the control and repression that reign in the internment camps and province at least a 1000000 muslims are thought to be detained in the camps. is a system ah to fit into this systematic internment of an entire ethnic and religious minority this is really something that the world has not got to grips with yet. experts believe there are more than $1000.00 such camps

the keeley documents lays out how they are to be run it states the inmates onselen out any contacts with the outside world owning a mobile phone is strictly said that in the camps should be under constant and comprehensive video surveillance not a single corner should be left on watched preventing escape is a top priority but in addition these camps are like prisons the aim is to completely control every 2nd of a person's life it's not just about locking them up and the aim is to have a deep psychological impact on their identity in. beijing has always described the camps as voluntary reeducation facilities. delete documents confirm that is not the case. genocide is probably the most accurate way to describe what's happening there. the

documents now being called the china cables were tainted by the international consortium of journalists and joining me now is mathias bollinger in beijing who has reported about the camps for mathias what is the meaning and the impact of these leaks. well as we've just heard in this piece that you just played this is a confirmation that these camps are prison like facilities one example are the details about how to prevent an escape from these internment camps the chinese government has sat that people whether voluntarily of course journalists who have traveled there including myself we have seen these watchtowers we have seen the high walls we have seen the barbed wires and the armed guards and it was quite clear that people are not held there voluntarily but by force but this is a confirmation it also gives us some clout about what how people are singled out

for detention including about foreign nationals who return to visit their families foreign nationals of we could descend who were then whose data was then transferred to the local authorities so they could detain and in turn them and last but not least we see names on these papers that gives us an idea on which officials are behind this system of mosty attention and that could play an important role for example when it comes to sanctions that are being discussed from time to time against those who are behind this mosque internment so much here is what is going on inside of these camps. what we know from testimonies from former inmates who were able to flee the region is that prisoners are held there

for. 4 months and years and they have to read from party documents that they have to sing songs praising the communist party for hours and hours we have accounts of torture and of other atrocities against these inmates and we have also reports that some of these inmates are forced to work in factories forced labor is part of this detention system what is the background mathias when we're talking about this relationship between china and the weakest phillis and. singe on the homeland off the week is has been. a region off unrest since the communist party took control offit in that 940 s. . muslim majority at the time the majority of the region was

weaker now ethnic balance has shifted a little bit because there's still the biggest groups but not the majority anymore in this region that have been. for independence among the weaker population to have also been terrorist attacks in the region since the 990 s. and we've had reports about radical islamist groups in the region although we have little information on how big this movement was and the house being since then and intense crackdown on the majority population and on these tendencies to. independence or on religious activities at that house being that has become more intense during the last. 2 or 3 years since 2617 we have information about these mosques detentions that my may affect up to 20 percent of the adult population auntie has

a greek population metastable and i thank you so much for your reporting from beijing. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world several people were injured in lebanon when supporters of the militant group hezbollah attacked an anti-government rally the attackers arrived on scooters and began hitting the protesters with bats and metal bars riot police intervened and formed a human chain to keep the 2 sides apart. at least 26 people have been killed in a plane crash in the democratic republic of congo the aircraft came down in a residential area in the eastern city of goma authorities say that the cause of the crash was pilot error. and former new york mayor michael bloomberg has announced that he is running for president of the united states the former republican became a democrat last year and is one of the richest people in the world he'll 1st have to beat other democratic candidates jostling to go up against president donald

trump in 2020. news still to come on the program we need the french woman fighting for justice after her daughter was murdered by an ex-boyfriend she says the government's efforts to better protect women are not enough. the 1st that is why where people are waiting for the results of sunday's presidential runoff after the electoral court said that the result was too close to call and ordered a recount. a power from the center right national party had already declared victory early results gave him a narrow lead over danielle martinez of the ruling center left a broad front. banks's supporters of luis. they had to go home without an official result. held the lead in opinion polls right up to the vote after putting together a coalition that had won recent legislative elections. we have achieved some

failing over a short time but there were many skeptics we had to get 5 parties to agree on a broad range of issues we have diversity with tolerance committing the people of europe wide to a single strategy in the notice of the watchers you know 5 who. that guy a poet is a 46 year old lawyer and former senator from a political dynasty his father was also president in addition to promising to fight crime he ran on a platform of cutting deficits and taxes but many voters here have modest expectations. he took the gun i'm hoping for a little change just a little changes but not big changes i mean you know and we know that daniel martinez is broad front has governed since 2005 in the beginning they raise standards of living and brought many out of poverty. but in recent years unemployment and inflation went up and so did crime rates for some voters that was

what mattered. they were doing and that i had to move because they wrote my home 3 times because security has always been this year. with the most opinion polls predicting he would lose broad front candidate daniel martinez was philosophical. you have to be happy in life if you're sure about what you're doing just do it but you also have to enjoy the beautiful things in life not only politics as family would can a lot of the things i for i mean. whoever wins the recount will have to deliver but not too much in a country long seen as a bastion of stability in south america. today is the un's international day for the elimination of violence against women one of the most systematic and widespread human rights violations of our time the u.n. estimates that every day about $238.00 women are intentionally killed across the world now most of these murders are committed by partners or by their own families

more than one 3rd of women worldwide have experienced some kind of physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes these numbers they are particularly high in parts of africa where almost every 2nd woman has experienced violence of violence against women it's also a problem in wealthier parts of the world have a look at this because. here in the european union it is one in every 3 women which is estimated to have suffered violence and abuse in their lifetime one in every 3 france has one of the highest murder rates for women in europe and now the government is working on a law to better protect women. lisa lewis reports now on one particular case that helped prompt the new law. and the good he describes it as a life sentence she says there's a gaping void inside of her ever since march 2017 when her daughter was killed by

her ex-boyfriend so there and we need your soul. they had split up 6 weeks earlier he had her arrest ever since one morning he was waiting for her at the whole stable where she worked and tried to convince her to take him back the more you know when she refused he pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the heart and the lungs could my brain is still blanking out on what this really means look at how i think it is trying to protect me otherwise i'd go crazy i still can't imagine to never see my daughter again i'm obviously sick. but i need doesn't only blame her daughter's ex-boyfriend she's also furious with the system that she feels that her daughter down this main level 2 weeks before he killed her he broke into her house through the window he wanted to frighten her he was convinced she was seeing someone else elaine went to the

police station to press charges but she came up crying the police downplayed things and didn't take her seriously they didn't recognize how dangerous this man was they later decided to drop the case i am so angry at this patriarchal system where men shield other men and which doesn't protect women sister but the full body family by the family elin is everything but an isolated case every year more than $120.00 women are killed in france one group has started counting them and is tagging their names and stories on walls across paris to push the government to finally act. but the government says it is taking the matter seriously it's been holding weeks long consultations with victims as a sections across the country and it's working on a new law to better protect women against domestic violence. in some of their

mortgage the government is working with lawmakers from all across the spectrum and we are ready to act with the new law will introduce electronic bracelets to keep violent men at bay and judges will be able to issue restraining orders within 6 days and more women's shelters will be opened between these acts you most even if. i meet took part in the country talks and course the measures a good start but she says more needs to be done and that one crucial point is missing from the new legislation that we have more go forward. for it's really important that the police get proper psychological training they should have to come off their high horse and really listen to women who are asking for help if a woman says she feels threatened that they need to take the necessary measures to protect her. small what we know that there are many women who went to the police

asking for help but were turned away and are now dead. she still hopes the government will change the law to include this so that at least some women will be saved and their families be spared the suffering she now has to endure. now violence against match officials and sports has become an increasing problem in german football recently referees in berlin and cologne have gone on strike in protest against attacks on their colleagues and one referee and berlin give us the inside story on the recent strike. the man in charge of the german amateur match. following several high profile attacks against much officials and reports by the german football association on the recent rise in lower league violence referees took action. last night decided to strike for a weekend in order to give everyone

a wake up call and make the public aware of the issues at hand. i think it was a good move. the team is also reacted very well. berlin based referee angin chinup played football for 2 decades until injuries saw him switch to the role of referee 8 years ago since then he's seen his fair share of issues in german amateur football now referees and found serve taking to the streets to make their voices heard. it's just not acceptable anymore for the referees to be victims of violence on the football pitch where seen less and less as a person at respect and that has to demonstrating here today. luckily chinari is not alone in berlin a local fan group which promotes respect for refs organized the 2 kilometer long march through the district of cards back but it's clear more support is needed for

these match officials cut a lone figure on the pitch. in 5 definitely in favor of drastically increasing the punishments for clubs and it would also make sense to have stewards to support the referee during a match that. being a referee is a brave decision but at the moment it can also be a dangerous one without them staging the thousands of games played across germany would not be possible. as a vegan mark meadows from sports to tell us more about this story. is this a widespread problem it is yeah i mean the german football federation put out a report and there was almost 3000 verbal and physical attacks on referees in germany last season and 685 games have to be cancelled because of it so it's a massive problem in germany but of course it's not just a problem in germany is a problem worldwide when you think about how many amateur football matches take

place on a weekend across the world the amount of referees being attacked is absolutely enormous and it's not just amateur football i mean in peru earlier this month in a major competition the referee was attacked at. the game at a ball thrown at him but the difference is he had federation official assistant referees there to help him and riot police who came onto the field to calm things down if you're an amateur referee you are completely alone there aren't enough referees to go around so there isn't really assistant referees i have it is just you against off and 22 angry men on a sunday morning some with hangovers and basically all their anger is going towards you and you know personally what that is like don't you because you've been an amateur referee just walk us through what happened in your experience yeah i was a referee in south east london as a student not really to get much money together because you want to really get equivalent 20 euros you know just expenses and something to eat and drink i did to

stay fit really and i was attacked in an m.n.c. game of giving the decision i still think it was the correct decision guy ran over need me between the legs push me over. and i picked myself up out of the mud sent him off. and then on the sidelines for the rest of the game he was seething he was doing cutthroat gestures towards me i had to go to the opposition captain during the game and say look i don't think going to get to the train station at the end of this game is there any chance you can give me a lift i can see you've got a van there and the guy was very understanding very helpful and basically when i blew my whistle for the end of the game we ran to his van fully clothed in our kits and just drove away because what could have happened and he got banned for a year he didn't actually turn up to the disciplinary hearing book the london f.a. did it all properly and i was there and everything happened there are kind of for well what's to stop an amateur player kind of changing his name on the team sheet

and still carrying on playing even if he's banned and yet it put me off refereeing i didn't really referee consistently after that because i felt well i made the right decision in the game and i was still attacked imagine what would happen if i made a wrong decision what would have brought you back. i mean what do you see as the necessary steps for thord in order to make people feel secure to deal with this problem head on i mean big help i mean just recently in germany. was banned for 3 years after punching a referee that referee had to be airlifted to hospital that was so serious but also crucially the club was suspended and also fine so if teammates can see that their team is being affected by one violent individual then they are more likely to crack down on him and said look you've got to stop them to behave in future with a big problem is the culture in football this culture has developed where even the professional players harangued referees it doesn't happen in other sports like cricket and rugby in rugby only the captain is really allowed to speak to the

referee and if you say anything out of place in this big trouble but in football we see too often by munich they will pull across the leagues the constantly all of the referees and it's a question of role models if you are now much a player and you see your favorite player on the television on the weekend abusing a referee then you think it's ok so i think it's going to come right from the top and we need a step change to get rid of this because it really is an evil in football a lot of work to be done because mark meadows joining us from sports thank you. thank you so much for joining us.
