china calls reeducation camps as a quote great shame for humanity but is that enough in a moment i'll be asking a german m.p. if germany should be doing mall but 1st this report looks back at the anatomy of a cultural genocide. for thousands of years they've been here toxic readers washing trading. growing up and coming of age living in shane jang province western china know they face a fight for their very existence. its roots in 2009 when the washed ethnic clashes in decades rocked the region what. soldiers were deployed as revenge attacks left almost 200 people dead the brutality shocked the nation and provoked a fierce response from beijing. a a president

3:35 pm
reeducation camps with it squashed shouldn't free to leave even as pictures like this suggest otherwise. but perhaps it's the silent suffering of children too young to understand and wives longing for their lost husbands to return which tells its own story. joining me now is good oh yes and she is an m.p. and the chairperson of the german parliament that's the bonder starts human rights and humanitarian aid committee there's even some welcome to do. now that the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill to impose sanctions on chinese officials and condemn the treatment of we girls in changing the i think it is time that germany did something similar it is
3:36 pm
time for chancellor merkel to put it on the agenda of the upcoming european council to talk about a common european perspective on posing sanctions and i wouldn't oppose these talks about sanctions definitely not and you have made that point clear earlier but there is a joint european solution the only way what is preventing germany from acting on its own. well i would love to have germany act on its own and also take steps for a european common answer to these human rights violations in china so far germany has not stood up i hope that chancellor merkel will do so the upcoming week but so far i am very certain that we need a common european answer because china. it is we're talking about over a 1000000000 people and a european answer would be a balanced way to to have an answer to china definitely let's just run focus on
3:37 pm
what drove in you could potentially do this or germany has not stood up why has germany not stood up. well 1st i think we need to think about the chronology of these camps also we are just things to great journalists and we know about these scams for certain now and china has lied so far about the existence now they cannot do that anymore and since then i i suppose that germany wanted to wait until their certainty now is we have certainty and now we need to also talk to. well to the companies in the province of change around to you think maybe they have values if there is any linkage between the profit and of the economic profit and the. being detained there in the camps and this point in time where germany can only wait and say well we are waiting for
3:38 pm
the certainty that is over and i hope that miss machall will step up and we have an upcoming session week in parliament next week and maybe the parliament will also be able to to focus on that because we have the human rights international human rights day coming right so i hope that the parliament will step up there there's a lot of hope coming from you know potentially hopefully this is a very lies but i'd just like to go back to the point of what is holding germany back there's something like 5000 $200.00 german companies that are currently active in china and china is germany's largest trading partner we're talking about korea around $200000000000.00 euros do you think that this is an obstacle that the german government will be able to overcome. i hope there is only hope you can hear from me from the opposition side that germany will overcome that i urge the companies also
3:39 pm
also to rethink and overlook their values because at the long term i think that the rule of law democracy and human rights should be put higher than the only economic profit because we see that china is a dictatorship and you never know how economic growth can develop in a dictatorship and that's why i hope that also german companies european companies will not tolerate these gross human rights violations in china. ms johnson you all the head of the german parliament you want a human rights and humanitarian committee is there something you could do in your position to bring forth a resolution potentially forcing the government to discuss this and potentially past sanctions well we can definitely bring forward a motion we are currently working on that in our f.t.p. party and hopefully we will discuss that the upcoming session week to urge the
3:40 pm
government. to introduce. maybe sanctions but also to bring it to the agenda to discuss what the international community could do and the european community could do so far that hasn't happened and i would propose that this should be the step forward so 1st discussing it having it on the agenda and if china doesn't react to anything and does not. take responsibility we definitely need to talk about sanctions. and that's very relieved for the time being google you and some thank you very much for speaking to us thank you. for the past 4 months india controlled kashmir has been under an unprecedented security lockdown it was a move to snuff out protests the more the government anticipated off that it would do job when kashmiris special status on the 5th of august
3:41 pm
a new laws passed by the ruling hindu nationalists b.g.p. government has stripped the muslim majority region of its constitution and kashmiris of that exclusive right to own land the lockdown has meant limits on life and last time people will never get back our correspondent and we should just swallow as bomb. it has now been 4 months since the shmita has been living with its new identity it is no longer to stay it it no longer has its special status the indian government claims that it is returning to normalcy but reports from the ground indicate otherwise the communication shut down by partially lifted continues to impact people as many still do not have access to them or by networks messaging is restricted and the internet shut down also persists this has severely impacted local journalists who now have to go to a government information department to access the internet this is a slow and tedious process and of course closely monitored by the authorities
3:42 pm
political leadership also continues to largely be detained and there have been reports or wide sweeping arrests and detentions made across the valley under the public safety act and that also allegations of torture coming out from south to chemise these have of course been denied strongly by the government as well as by the indian army the sentiment on the ground continues to be that of resentment against the indian government as this action was seen as a betrayal not just of the question needed leadership and the pots but also off people and a similar shut down of stores is strongly indicative of that any attempt to open these have led to attacks which are also still concerns about rising militancy in the region despite that one of the presidents of the ruling hindu nationalist b.g.p. party denies what is happening in kashmir is a lockdown you can watch did a blues interview with the joint germ panda on conflict zone i think as you said decent from european time. removing all the pictures of daily life so we goes in
