united nations estimates that as many as 1000000 we girls are being held in camps in the shin jang region are chinese authorities have always insisted that people there are in those camps of their own free will and that they're receiving occasional training tris government has also claimed that these training centers are an effective tool against islamist extremism but d.-w. and its german media partners and e.r. w d r in the situation newspaper have new evidence suggesting that china's putting we gore's in prison because of their religion and only conrad of our investigative unit has more. or. i would never have found out that my sister isn't it comes without this least lugger going up the boys but. it's a detail of the surveillance document it's extremely likely that this is authentic yes it's the dress but someone should tell the world what's going on.

in the wall. these men now we get muslims from china back home they could be imprisoned for the simple act of praying like quickly come to realize that each one of them has a story of loss. of the will of the fascist chinese government wants to eliminate the weaker people of sin john the entire population of john right in front of the eyes of the world. we off them to raise their hands if they have family members who've been imprisoned in china's province where maced week is live oh. across chin jiang dozens of camps holding up to a 1000000 we give. let's take a closer look at one of them this is a reeducation camp and. next to

a prison. we identified watchtowers and high walls. there are countless camps like this one the chinese government claims they are fallen tree vocational training centers designed to fight we miss them. too but we received a document which shows that china's targeting week is based on their identity and religion it lists hundreds of detainees and the reasons for their detention are. posted weak academic up to we're perceived it from a source and took

a huge risk sharing it with us. or. january 8 or you see the before and cold like it's messenger call and. he said stop doing this and we can reach you there are where 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. 5 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 john 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 we 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 that her younger 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 i'll call them. china says it's fighting extremism but talked 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. well 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. let's talk about this more now with sandra peters she's the head of did abuse investigative unit here in berlin today to sondra a very disturbing report is this the strongest piece of evidence yet this document the china is persecuting the we gores as we thought they were i would say yes based on you know the analysis that we have now been conducting for weeks and weeks this is the big leak coming from the region and through this leak we basically learn the in reason it's used to put people into camps which are essentially we education camps to brainwash people. where did this document come from where we contrary view the entire way how it reached us but in november and that's what i can give away we

receive what's up message through up the way i just saw in our report he's one of the whistleblowers who could get hold of this document he shared it with us but of course it was all in mandarin we didn't really know what it was all about so the 1st big task was to translate this massive p.d.f. spreadsheet of $137.00 pages and we did that together with our partners using trusted sources to get also more than one translation to be really on the safe side again you look at the language and language tells us that it is bureaucratic that it comes from inside the system it must come from within the system probably it was taken out of a big governmental system probably on the local level and then you know in order to disguise the person so handle it it was put into a p.d.f. spreadsheet to take it out of the country and pass it on ok and you have reached out to the chinese government for their response obviously we wrote written

questions very specific questions we sent it to beijing to the foreign ministry and also to the chinese embassy here in berlin that was left the nonsuch but lucky last thursday ahead of the munich security conference the chinese foreign minister a visit to the inn and we managed to put a question. for him and this is what he had to say jewish. no one has seen any kind of concentration camp inching jang no one has seen any persecution the only thing to see was people of various ethnicities and singeing 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 news ok one using their that does don't exist the reeducation camps but in fact you've talked to people they face a lot of risks once they leak information and were or even speak out about it yes they face an incredible risk like up the way you told us he received a message

a phone call of by an anonymous person threatening him if you proceed to investigate you know we would be able to get you on confected concrete his family back home and change young and that's where the real risk lies for we get an ex i you know if they want to protect their families they should probably not speak up and what about people who leave these reeducation camps if they return to life as normal you know i mean if you are released from the camp full growing it be it let's say awful varying a way that you're not released into freedom you will continue to be kept under strict surveillance at home in your home districts or and this is also what we found in the list you might be sent to a system of forced labor in factories we found dozens of those cases of what is this all tell us about our perceptions of the chinese surveillance surveillance they have we've been underestimating it probably not underestimating but now we learn how all income passing it is in

a mixture of you know high tech facial recognition software including security cameras and all of that smartphone apps but also shia manpower to trek you know the movement the social behavior of each and every week a household sandra it was meant thanks very much for coming on on on this this is worse this morning nice to see you guys. let's get a brief down some of the other stories making the news today protesters in haiti set fire to carnival stands in the capital port au prince local sources saying the protesters were angry that the government spent money on carnival celebrations haiti has seen months of unrest and it's widespread poverty and deepening social and economic crisis. syrian president bashar al assad has vowed to continue the offensive against rebels in their last major stronghold in the country's northwest in a rare televised address he said complete victory was in sight a russian backed offensive has displaced some 900000 people since early december.

the world's richest man jeff bezos says he intends to spend $10000000000.00 to help fight climate change is earth fund will provide grants to people and organizations that work on environmental issues last year his company amazon announced plans to switch to renewable energy sources by 2030. was confirmed cases of the coronavirus past the 73000 mark chinese authorities have published a detailed picture of the coded 1000 outbreak according to beijing the epidemic shows signs of declining there were about 1800 new cases reported on tuesday that's a decline of monday's figure. and the lowest single a figure of new cases so far this month china's national health commission says confirm new cases of the disease outside of the hard hit who a province have now been dropping for 12 consecutive days on holocaust the situation is reminiscent of the sars outbreak back in 2003 which killed some 300

people experience with sars has been shaping on kong's response to the new corona virus our correspondent in hong kong sent us this. exhausted but relieved that nightmare didn't and last week these residents were pulled from their beds in the middle of the night after 2 people living floors apart tested positive for k. that 19 it's fear is the buyers could be traveling through the pipes gripping hong kong with the collective dread that it was about to watch history repeat itself this isn't one gardens in 2003 it became synonymous with tragedy $42.00 residents lost their lives to the saws epidemic hundreds more were infected defective pipes had been carrying the virus directly into people's homes the whole of ogaden. become the city. they had to come.

i feel so safe and so i would us even those of that 7 years that humans are still be coming to it to buy you know mark the horror of what happened here is still feed in people's minds many still haunted by the tail of the tragedy and it's that which is now fueling faith today. mr yep says lessons have been learned and additional hygiene measures introduced but that's done little to calm nerves. with masks and hand sanitizer both in short supply toilet rolls now the latest target of panic shoppers. concerned so great one online rumor shortage is all it took to empty the shelves i think of the f. king of the whole people is that he just thought how would they know who would in fact that i came to talk to their prey who appears to be absolutely

a limited. being that they i mean. professor light treated sons victims he sees echoes of possible stakes things more must be done to prevent another devastating outbreak this is a stupid these already i think at least in the hope or thought he should do is to encourage everyone every single one threw him off and also supply equipment for the myth that we thought there to protect them. victims this outbreak is particularly painful and it's them need the network of survive it while they're bracing for the west he says science is proof that hong kong can come back from the brink. but in 2003 we spend 4 to 5 months time to fight against it says this we may have a longer time to fight and we should not be led by the fear inside us even though we have the was experience that we should be telling everyone who we are we came

across the most difficult time you know i guess standing here back at home may have also started giving residents to you clear but caution here was born from experience given hong kong's past the spread of being can be as challenging to contain as the virus itself. will occur a virus making itself felt on the markets shares were down and trading in asia on tuesday is the impact of the virus deepens on the markets u.s. tech giant apple for example has warned that its revenues are likely to fall in the 1st quarter of this year due to the disruption caused by the outbreak apple says its factories are closed down or operating out produced a pass. the supply chains have been disrupted as well a number of major business events planned to be held in china will also be postponed work hand sold among them the beijing auto show. let's get more on where this could be headed with b.w.

businesses chris cobra good morning here chris is this a blip for apple revenues down or is it something is going to continue for a while well it's hard to say i mean all depends on how long this virus keeps spreading and how long the counter measures as and planned closures shops being being closed as long as they remain in place once the virus is under control i would imagine that situations particularly for a consumer goods company like apple could be back pretty quickly also we need to remind ourselves that apple is sitting on a mountain of cash so it might be easier for them to navigate through such a rough patch others are likely to have more difficulty ok with supply chains shut down what about other big companies they must be experiencing the same thing are they thinking about relocating their operations as a result of of the virus or the government's response well relocation is a pretty big step i mean china is

a gigantic market to many companies you have about 1400000000 people living there and you obviously want to cater to them as directly as you can so relocation is is is a pretty farfetched but what we do see is that companies are trying to relocate parts of their supply chain to outside of china to japan to south korea to vietnam thereby trying to circumvent any pause in possible negative impact from plant in china ok so some coach is going to be benefiting from from those from the trauma virus are now calling off the beijing auto show that's a prudent decision it's also an unprecedented one what kind of impact is it going now that is big news china has a massive automotive marc. good brands like cherry like geely leg grade will grade well motors they might not be household names outside the country to certainly are in china and now those companies are failing to show what they've got they also do not have the the possibility to lay eyes on you know other technologies that that

other producers might might have come up with and that in a point of time when the whole automotive industry is going to a huge transformation face so calling off this event is a hard hit what does it look like if we expect other similar cancellations of large public assemblies public events as if things don't turn around quickly i would think so i mean tokyo for example is hosting the summer olympics. in july and organizers there are looking at the whole development with great concern we already see the organizers of the tokyo marathon that is due to happen on march 1st dramatically scaling back the event about 38000 runners were supposed to take it to participate in it now it's $176.00 and just 30 people in wheelchairs so again they already taking massive measures there chris thanks for looking into the sources were interest over force well the colombian drug lord pablo escobar was one

of the world's most dangerous criminals yet nearly 30 years after his death people continue to romanticize his lifestyle and make money out of his brutal legacy now those who did obviously cofer like reports the families of escobar as many victims of decided to take action. pablo escobar is everywhere in the streets and shops he grins at passers by from t. shirts key chains and even oil paintings pop culture has turned the founder of the many young drug cartel into an icon an icon who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people to consult this trend is horribly painful he tells me that 30 years ago his father died in a terror attack orchestrated by the notorious drug lord. and i think nowadays the people who sell these talks of products are soley motivated by the desire to make money in order to sell by contribution to the hype around this figure of

a crime boss who inflicted a lot of pain on this country which are in this place from 1976 to 993 escobar ruled over a kingdom of horror fueled by assassinations kidnappings and terror attacks still some of the very colombians who once lived in fear of him now seek to profit from his legacy yes some people come in and get mad they tell me this is blasphemy and ask me why on earth are you selling this but people ask for it this is after all my livelihood if i get a request i get it printed because i run a business this is. gonzalez and geo colombia colombia remembers is trying to show the grim reality behind the idolization with its latest project oddly enough it's an online store selling narco merchandise or at least that's what it looks like at 1st glance. the way it works is that if you try to buy one of the

products offered on the website you'll encounter the story of a victim of narco terrorism in colombia a direct victim of public record. and i think you know all and i'm not telling a go mass and i'm the wife of not. deceased and one of pablo escobar is a tax. he said i would like to tell my husband. that the life project we created together i try to do in the name of our love. and of our life project in is through mornin mr president. we love you forever. gonzalo and his co-founder daveed aren't alone in their fight against the trivialization of escobar is dark legacy through the narco store project they found unexpected allies with very close ties to the drug lord enthused you know

it's down tension to prioritize the victims are the products that glorify the crimes all the story of my father those products are permanent insult to the families of those in the know their money and the alliance for peace unimaginable 3 decades ago 27 years after pub lowest bars death colombia still hasn't been able to dismantle the powerful drug industry he built banning the products that glorify narco culture should be a far easier task. also in the news today about 50 people are stranded at a mountain logs in southern norway due to a severe winter storm cars are buried in meters of snow what one of the country's most important roads remains shut down travelers are inside and safe happy to say but will need to wait for better weather before they're able to leave. and abandoned cargo ship has washed up on the southern coast of ireland as the 77 metre
