assaults on potentially hundreds of unsuspecting men some of them mere nova have been a victim of a crime some of them may not so very far think it's important but what we don't want to do is further traumatize your moment but what we do want to do is provide any support we can during sentencing the judge said sanaya got must spend a minimum of 30 years in prison for his crimes. earlier i spoke to did have a correspondent. and asked her what details have emerged about sonata. this has become trying to reach and whites insisted day and the local and national media really put a lot of attention to this we actually didn't get much and permission about him since until this morning the local media tried to reach is that maybe but they still refuse and say you know what to the media and we totally understand about that oh we know is that he was born in junky and actually you know very

for pro unification supporters. china is a threat to our sovereignty but what they mean is that we should have band in taiwan sovereignty in order to unite with china is that treason in many cases that's why we amended the national security law last year it's unacceptable for taiwan's retired generals to attend lectures in china and political activities or military parades their condition should be strict in this case because it usually jeopardizes national sovereignty particularly towards national defense and politics for more than go across to did a record on the thieving cong in east asia bureau in taipei now this isn't the 1st time treason in relation to contact with china has been discussed in taiwan why are lynching used comments causing such a storm. well treason is a criminal act and the high ones are said to national security loss right now but when somebody tries to collude with foreign forces to do something to undermine

taiwan's national sovereignty they may become fact but during the abyss interview or lynching you claims that even if someone supports or apple case you know if occasion we're talking with china well constitutes treason so this box and country obviously and where they in iran and costs backfire to the president because people criticize that. if this is the kind of infringement of freedom of speech that the government is trying to contact someone simply based on the speech soli but not the actual behavior and the so this is the reason why these courses in taiwan and this comes particularly sensitive at the moment when taiwan is parliament chest and that tent and new interest ration n.-t. in frustration law that prevents china from meddling into taiwan's election and politics so some skeptics they worry that this may indicate

a harder line taken by the ruling party that they may limit the scope offer a speech when they touch something about like unification of china in the future or just speaking about the election this is just days away tyrone's the debt ceiling when a surfer is accused trying to offer deferred and in the election how concerned are people about this. well people are very concerned about the less interference from china and that particularity of the misinformation campaign which i suspect had to be carried out by china white on the island and when we look at the last * local election on taiwan reports have found that quite a number of chinese social media accounts spread misinformation in fact news on their rifles and on the other hand some parts beijing friendly candidates so people are why you that beijing is using this kind of tactic to manipulate otice 0 piñon

press and tour operators are steering clear. some camps are rebranding themselves as refuges or sanctuaries but activists say the same old bad practices still occur when n.g.o.s looking to a new approach here are tourists must stay at least 15 metres away from the animals and there is strictly no touching. the target is to return total freedom to the elephants. but we need to do this without causing problems to other communities living nearby . routes remain a key factor here but the hook is only used as a last resort. how. yeah.
