german media partners and they are a video air and the daily. we. don't have evidence now that contradicts that narrative it seems to confirm what many have long suspected that china is putting weekers in prison based on their religion and culture now we can read of investigative unit reports. terrorism and i would never have found out that my sister is an account without this list luggar though you are full of the boredom when. it's a detailed surveillance document it's extremely likely that this is authentic yes it's dangerous but someone should tell the world what's going on. istanbul. you know. these men now we get muslims from china back home they could be imprisoned for the simple act of praying and i

quickly come to realize that each one of them has a story of loss. of. the fascist chinese government wants to eliminate the weaker people of the entire population of sion jiang right in front of the eyes of the world. we ask them to raise their hands if they have family members who've been imprisoned in china's province where most weekends live. across chin jiang there are dozens of camps holding up to a 1000000 we get. let's take a closer look at one of them this is a reeducation camp next to the prison. we identified watchtowers and high walls. that countless camps like this one the chinese government claims they are fallen tree vocational

training centers designed to fight we stream isn't. true but we received a document which shows that china's targeting week is based on the identity and religion it lists hundreds of detainees and the reasons for their detention are. forced by force of the weak academic up to we're you perceived it from a source and took a huge risk sharing it with us. january 8 i received a phone call like it's messenger call and. he said that stop doing this and we can reach you there were you are yes it's the

dress but someone should take the danger someone should speak up someone should tell the world what's going on. in the document doesn't have any stamp or signature we showed it to several experts who agreed that it is almost certainly an official text. it contains an enormous amount of extremely specific. data from one very small community in java and that. it would take an immense amount of effort and access to publicly unavailable data to fabricate a document like this in this neighborhood in istanbul where many weekends live we met one woman whose sister some mentioned on the list. but to news that talked to news some family members had been imprisoned but it shocked her when she found out
6:06 pm
that her youngest sister was listed in the document called mbeki edible. i was really sad for days i couldn't sleep. i was really shocked. and sad about her arrest. ok don't call them. china says it's fighting extremism but talk he says her younger sister wasn't religious her only crime she had too many children along all of them i heard that the conditions in prison are unimaginably bad they don't even have enough food to eat oh. yes. she doesn't know her relatives have been released like countless are the leaders they have been caught up in china's all encompassing anti terrorism drive. and that report by naomi your
6:07 pm
current from investigative unit and now me is here with me are very disconcerting revelations this document was leaked to w. news walk us through some of the steps that you took to verify the authenticity of this document sure so we're right we received some 140 pages in chinese a p.d.f. document with no seal stamp so the 1st thing we did obviously was translate some of it to figure out what this was actually about then we showed it to several of the leading experts on the history and week of politics all said it was most likely authentic a lot of what is in this list correlates with what we've heard already the next step was to try and find relatives because obviously we couldn't travel to changing we couldn't get hold of people there because it's impossible to contact people that in itself would put them in danger so we managed to find some of the relatives i talked to some of the relatives of these people on the list and then what we also did is that we looked at several of the counts that are mentioned in the list that
6:08 pm
these people are sent to the so-called reeducation camps we managed to verify them using governmental chinese governmental bids also satellite images so we're pretty sure that we verified 2 of the camps and most likely located 2 other camps so we are pretty sure that this is an authentic document what do we learn about the fate of the detainees from their sleeves document so we know that some of the detainees have been released at that doesn't mean that they've been released into freedom it means that they're still heavily controlled monitored some some of them probably can't move around freely i mean there's a whole network of surveillance and in junk there are surveillance cameras everywhere other detainees have been sent to labor camps those can be factories within the villages where they're from they could also be factories in other labor and more worryingly we've also heard that some people have been sent to prison so.
6:09 pm
they even if they have been released from these so-called vocational training camps that by no means for you told me these are very for you scenes that you describe have few been able to get an official reaction from chinese officials so we actually managed to talk to the chinese foreign minister who is in but in on a state visit last week and this is what he said to us jewish. no one has seen any kind of concentration camp and. no one is in any persecution the only thing to see was people of various ethnicities and living together harmoniously these facts demonstrate that the so-called concentration camps the so-called 1000000 are 100 percent rumors they are complete fake news fake fake news complete denial there. complete denial but i mean that's not surprising that's what the chinese without his have been saying all along they keep on stressing that these of occasional camps that people go voluntarily is that it's
6:10 pm
not surprising that we didn't get a different kind of response to do give us a good reporter my only conor thank you very much. the european union has agreed on a new naval mission to monitor the un embargo on arms deliveries to libya all the country is split between fighters loyal to the u.n. recognize government in tripoli and rebels who control most of the rest of the country you foreign ministers meeting in brussels were initially it odds whether to resume the missions or prevent the smuggling of arms so israel italy and austria most notably were concerned that european ships patrolling the coast could encourage more migrants to attempt to cross the mediterranean on libya is awash with arms and fighting there is still raging despite the arms embargo. when i bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. a court in cape town has given hundreds of migrants 4 more weeks to stay in
6:11 pm
a church where they sought refuge last october the migrants say they're threatened by anti foreigner hostility in south africa judges called on the city to review the case. a suicide attack has killed at least 10 people in the western pakistani city of quetta around 35 people were injured in the explosion local police said the blast went off near the town was press club as dozens of supporters of a sunni militant group had gathered outside. china is reporting an increase in the number of new cases of the coronavirus reversing the trend of the last 2 days the government also says the death toll now stands at 800 and that more than 70000 people are infected with the virus across the country in china's who pay province the epicenter of the outbreak near reported cases are again on the rise after 2
6:12 pm
days of declining figures in mainland china alone officials say the total number of confirmed cases is over 70000 with nearly 1800 deaths. chinese president xi jinping is now facing criticism over why the public was not alerted sooner to the outbreaks potential severity official media recently released an internal speech he gave an apparent attempt to show the communist party leadership acted decisively from the start but instead it revealed china's top leaders knew about the outbreaks dangers weeks before the president publicly addressed the problem. and euro china's military has now dispatched hundreds more medical workers an extra supplies to a bit to shore up the city's overwhelmed health care system. and it appears much he is willing or told us about the fallout from the release of prisoners. yeah this speech that we're talking about is
6:13 pm
a speech that he held on the 3rd of february that is 2 weeks ago it was published in chill sure that's the party's theoretical magazine that a party that spreads party ideology the interesting thing most of it is about combating a war against the virus and his leadership but the interesting thing is that he said in that speech that he had been cheering that battle against the virus from january the 7th now that was the time when authorities still denied that they were ayers was dangerous and this period of denial is seen as one of the main causes for the spread of the virus so he is now basically opening the failures from the beginning and that's quite remarkable that he has said this over me and this could be published in the party magazine it's might be that they're confident to win the battle and that the initial failures will stand back behind these massive efforts
6:14 pm
that they're bringing on now to combat the virus it might be that he couldn't evade any more. this acknowledgement because the fact that he has not been seen during this period is also has also drawn a lot of criticism we don't know really the motives behind it but we know that we are in a period now when it's when when this battle against the virus is something that dominates the whole country today just we have seen news that most probably the 2 sessions the annual session of the parliament will be postponed this is a major step in this political system that does not like surprises to their schedule. there reporting earlier from china well next up to football and late on sunday mines and shaka came away with a point each in a lackluster encounter where both sides wasted their chances in one of the best
