not letting up growing bigger in some cities what are we seeing happening in the u.s. right the host of momentum continuing to keep up i think people are really coming together they see this as a chance to really make systematic change in the united states so that there is equality and humanity for all american citizens there's been some pushback from people who like to scream matter but these activists are quick to point out that until black people are treated with the same respect and humanity as whites in the united states you can't say that all lives and matter because they're not treated equally and yes they've been arrest in the killing of george floyd but they feel like now they can push for more and like i said systematic change what kind of change are we talking about because as you mentioned in the police officer who had his knee on george floyd's neck has been charged the other officers who were on the scene have also been charged so what is it concretely the protesters are demanding well they want to have

a different presence in their community when it comes to policing you've seen the protests and not just this one michael brown and ferguson where police were on tanks and it was like the american public who has the right to voice their opinion the right to protest were treated like the enemy like they were in some kind of a combatant situation and so what matter is pushing for is the defunding of police departments and that simply means that their budgets are are shrunk and that that money is used in other areas homelessness food banks social other social services so that people in the community are actually getting the help they need and less policing and then police are actually able to do the jobs that they were trained to do and it's also they're also trying to reduce the contact that. people have with the police oftentimes you hear well the police need more training when when a black person is killed and and as an armed but they don't need training when

they're taking in a wild gunman who is white then dylan wrote who killed all those people in charleston in the charleston church he was taken into custody without a scratch and then they took him up for a hamburger black people are not treated with the thing kind of dignity ok so these are some of the steps that have been called for by protesters what about on a larger scale are we seeing these ongoing protests lead to real political reform well the mayor of new york and the mayor of los angeles have pledged to defund there the police departments so you're seeing something there house democrats and senate democrats are introducing a bill on later today that will make it easier to prosecute police and will make it easier to sue them for damages if they're convicted so a lot of times when police are sued and if there is a payout it's the community that's paying activists believe if you hit police where

it hurts which is their own pocketbooks that this will correct the behavior of the reporter stacey bivins with us here in studio thank you very much for. that to a special d.w. report on the situation in china as rest of region where researchers estimate up to a 1000000 people have been detained in so-called re education camps the remote province in china's far northwest is off limits to international media the muslim week or so make up most of the population there have long faced repression by chinese authorities including in recent years plenty imprisonment now investigative teams found that many imprisoned weekers inside the camps have been forced to choose from a list of crimes and are then sentenced in sham trials without access to due process the team spoke to those who escaped china's. vast network of repression and . you don't have any freedom at all your money says 247

they can interrogate you anytime even at night when you're asleep so when i was waved and used up there because they had want to head scarf. travelled abroad there wasn't a single criminal among them. that's the voice of a woman who spent almost a year inside a reeducation camp in china with keeping her identity a secret in order to protect her family and singe on a remote region in northwest china. change and his home to the weakest a predominantly muslim ethnic group. the decades of state sponsored discrimination against them has spread into discontent and times of violence including riots and terror targets. in response china has cracked down and we go and built up a close knit surveillance system here for a tease of imprisoned more than a 1000000 people in internment camps across chin jang the chinese government claims

the camps were set up to fight extremism and provide readers with the creation or skills but detainees and documents contradict that narrative rather detainees are targeted based on little more than their culture and religion and are forced to undergo a draconian and often brutal brainwashing program. and now we've on earth even more chilling evidence of china's repression of weak we talked to former detainees who managed to escape china's gough's network of reeducation camps. one day they were handed a list of alleged crimes. but it was one page of paper we had to choose one item i started reading it and it said wearing. headscarf playing owning a qur'an or phoning all contact him people abroad place press and you will stay

here until you pick a crime so i signed the paper and put my finger print. a few days after the woman was forced to sign the list official start of calling up people one by one for what amounts to a sham trial oh yes you were you. there were no lawyers. there were to read out the judgement and the detainee would have to say i confessed my crimes i promise i won't repeat my wrongdoings coming out of my trunk just the course. notes that. we analyze satellite imagery in publicly available material such as construction bids intended notices and managed to locate 3 camps where these trials happened in 2018 in 3 different locations across 2. after the trials detainees started disappearing some were picked up at night others led away

from their classrooms never to return. but it seems that only those who had confessed to religious acts in the child's were picked up this is yet another indication that china is targeting we go culture and religion. the woman and the other detainees we talked to managed to escape to neighboring cuz i stand as those with cuts that president seal family members were eventually allowed to leave china. my husband say's i changed sometimes i get very angry no reason and sus creaming jar in the nights i'm so exhausted all the times i asked. that report from did abuse naomi conrad she is part of the investigative team working on this story hi naomi we heard there that after the trial some of the people who were detained disappeared do we know what happened to them after they were sentenced. we don't know for sure but we assume that they were either sent to

prison this could be a prison inside but we also know of prisoners who would refer to prisons outside of spread across china but it's also possible that they will spend sent to a maximum security reeducation camp to be honest there's much difference between a prison and a maximum security reeducation camp prisoners are held there indefinitely the conditions are really bad but we don't know for sure because there wasn't any kind of paper paper trail for us to follow and why is that the china is conducting these sham trials inside these camps. that's a question we would have loved to put to the chinese authorities unfortunately they didn't respond to our information requests we assume that it might be because china is moving at least part of the the detainees to prison so maybe they need to legalize the whole process but it could also. be for domestic audience i mean the

relatives of the people who take detained often don't know what their relatives are so this could be a way to you at least give the relatives the opportunity to find out how long people are going to be detained for and to show that this is at least in part a kind of legal process where the chinese government did say earlier this year that everyone who had received so-called education and training inside these camps had graduated and all were now leading happy lives from your research how true is that . well from our research that's not true at all i mean the authorities did close down some camps or rather turned them into dormitories a lot of detainees who graduated from the programs are now being forced to work for factories some of these factories actually produce for international companies and clued in german ones but we also saw by looking at satellite imagery that some of the maximum security be education camps have actually expanded meaning that

detainees are still in these camps that maybe even more detainees are being put inside these camps so no the camps have been closed down and some are even expanding even expanding why has little so little been done internationally to put pressure on china or for its treatment of waivers. so there has been some movement the european parliament's called for targeted sanctions in fact the american congress also just recently passed a bill also calling for targeted sanctions but here in europe hit in germany particularly very little has happened i mean we have to remember that china is an incredibly important trading partner so while officials say that behind the scenes they do talk about human rights about we do you mean rights issues very much is happening very little is happening publicly and also not of german companies international companies are active in china and also active in into jang so it might just be

a question of economics versus human rights here. conrad reporting for us thank you very much and we'll have more analysis on the story throughout the day and you can also watch the full report on the d.w. news you tube channel. let's check in now on some other stories making news around the world areas outside new orleans are underwater after tropical storm crystal ball crashed ashore in the u.s. the storm made landfall over the weekend causing flooding and property damage in other states it was downgraded to a tropical depression on monday. workers in paris have begun dismantling scaffolding that melted during a fire at the notre dame cathedral last year the church was being restored when the blaze broke out $200.00 tons of metal must be removed. british media are reporting that the u.s. has officially requested britain handel for prince andrew to be questioned about his links to the late billionaire geoffrey epstein the department of justice has reportedly told the u.k. that the duke of york is now part of
