living together and unspoiled nature nelson only rain cofounded national life the only african wildlife conservation center run by the mass i community but since the coronavirus pandemic they have faced many more challenges than usual you need a pot of them shipped bean the conservation movement to find all other are alternatives eco africa. in 60 minutes t w. the story of producer and propaganda. they were called the rhineland bastards. their mothers were germans living in the occupied drying land their fathers soldiers from the french colonies. up in

a climate of national pride and racism. this documentary examines the few traces that remain of their existence because the child. starts january 11th on g.w. . when is the government going to get the message and resign we're getting a lot of different messages from the belt that is your government afraid of the truth the is being me being afraid of the guilt we're going to spend there are a lot of problems you don't hear a lot about today in europe these days but for more than 2 months fog area has beaten both by anticorruption and see government demonstrations for 7 years in a row it's on the dubious distinction of being the most corrupt country in the e.u. my guest this. week from south korea is the need for such of a minister of labor and social policy why does she continue to serve in

a government that's mistreating its most vulnerable people in violation of its human rights of the geishas and why has it done so little to crack down on organized crime and the politicians who benefit from it. though it's a touch of a welcome to come on we've seen more than 2 months of anti government protests sometimes violent when is the government going to get the message and resign we are getting a lot of different messages from the protests but we are also getting messages from those that are not on the docket actually the protests started a month ago but they combine that out if different messages some of the messages those messages that are for

a better judicial system or more justice and or fight against corruption is the messages that we hear and we do want to look better still in our politics whether i said from the opinion polls this is pretty clear 70 percent to distrust the government and the personal confidence rating of the prime minister has dropped to just 20 percent the lowest rate in years so the crowds are telling you they don't want you they don't want your new draft constitution they want immediate elections so why not give them to the ground. because there are not more than 6000 people on the street then there are more than 1000000 people who have voted for this government and also the regular elections that just showed you all 6 months from today people don't want to wait for that they've seen enough corruption they've seen enough brutality on the streets now the violence has been condemned as widely excessive violence by the police including by your own president truman rather he

accused your government of actually directing and triggering the violence didn't he at least on one occasion i wouldn't agree with your strong words about violence because i can i can tell you that there are more than 80 people eastment that are actually now we must go and that the i guess that there's been a lot of violence on behalf of the public and what when we are talking about that all of the president it's really very interesting that actually it's the president that is the the one that must be a king about unity and must be opening alak and on the contrary is actually fueling the violence any giving spirit of hatred that's that's quite an accusation to level against your president but it's not shared by the council of europe in particular the. commissioner for human rights doña me out of it she talked about numerous reports of police violence against journalists covering the demonstrations several

were reportedly beaten up and pepper sprayed when right police clashed with demonstrators violence against journalists she said especially at the hands of state agents is contrary to state's duty to uphold press freedom and to protect the safety of journalists it's pretty sad when you have to be reminded of that is in the. it's pretty set but at the same moment you are a person that is your word for factual television and for factual journalism and i can tell you that fact i'm not actually supporting the strong statements as i told you all right now there were more than 80 police people that are in hospital and being out of very serious violence there also yellow also on the streets from the brought the sounds there were coffins that were being brought in a number of other. excess of it is that they have been we have been witnessing on the street so the council of america doesn't know what he's talking about and your own president doesn't know what he's talking about and you have oh i didn't know

you had on when i try minister so this is not going to head on doesn't it you have a dead end here. it's not that then that objective it is just that we also see everything which is on the street not only what is what suits elk recission well president rather has long accused your prime minister of corruption and links with organized crime he's called on him to resign the government government the current government he says is morally finished and it's of the utmost importance that it's formally finished as well he's right isn't it what kind of system is this where the prime minister is pictured asleep in his official residence a gun beside his bed and a draw in his bedside table stuffed full of 500 euro notes what kind of government is this what are your proofs that this this photograph that actually took what are the proofs of the president in this respect and is this what is to the reality of

war just broadcast in picture is where the prime minister is not on one and the same picture of it is that i am getting notes of hero and at the same time i think that if we were talking about democracy talking about superiority of law it's the court that must actually say whether it's true or not but we're coming to the courts in a minute but how helpful is it to the stability of bug area with the prime minister and the president at each other's throat both of them calling for the other one to resign the answer has to be that's not very good for the stability of your country is it. definitely this war between the institutions is not good for the stability but i want to again to to draw your attention to the facts and the facts are very clear 1st of all we have the country at the moment which has very low degrees of the g.d.p. due to the corporate crisis it's 8.2 in comparison with other countries when it's

at double figures we also have we have the in top 5 the number 7 employment and i can also point to that the race of the g.d.p. in the last 5 years is nearly double this is not possible in a country which is there with pandemic action it's not possible to see such figures if everything is so rooted then corrupt if you are trying to implant now the conversation well i'm not the only one saying that because you know both park area and the government you serve in have become by words for corruption internationally corruption mafia capture democratic backsliding and a politically manipulated and almost dysfunctional justice system i wonder why you continue to serve in a government which is so mired in scandal. it got this is the government which doubled the teacher selling in the country this is the government which invested 2500000000 you know in the education system this is the government which preserved almost 300000 jobless it's in the core if that is this is the government which

double the g.d.p. in the last in the last years and also is the government that boston increases the incomes of the people and i don't know like a mismatch about your how long the black and white you know your figures are extraordinary g.d.p. growth over the last 10 years has been around 50 percent in contrast the remaining which joined on the same day as you the european union has registered an increase of more than 200 percent can you explain that you have the lowest average salary in the you with less than $690.00 euro's a month less than bosnia montenegro which aren't even in the e.u. and the european council on foreign relations says it's a sign you've made very poor use of e.u. cohesion funds why is that mismanagement and corruption or is a both. this is this is not true because the ligament still in the country when we started in the country in the country was 25011 now list expanded and then 11

and when we are talking about that the influence of the e.u. france actually decrease of the cell is just that the investment of the events is 8.2 percent for the period between 24020 point it is also important that the g.d.p. has increased its 7.7 percent the european finance investment it is once again because i am a minister of lebanon social policy want to measure the level of unemployment which would have been the healthier and now is 7.2 percent and youth of the european union france investment it is a lower i phone 6 percent minister last year the us state department said that while you laws provided penalties for corrupt officials the government did not implement that law effectively officials in all branches of government reportedly gauged in corrupt practices with impunity that means no consequences so the inescapable conclusion is that you allow this corruption because members of your

government and criminals connected to it profiting by it day by day that's why the state department underlined multiple reports of government corruption and they included bribery conflict of interest elaborate embezzlement schemes procurement violations and influence trading this is full service corruption right across the spectrum of your government did you think the world would notice what was going on . i can tell you that in the last year or so the commission for fighting against corruption and confiscating of illegal aquatic property yes that damn the but it really mean that if they call chance for all out the 1000000000 lever and yes that means that more than 1000 different the checks and revisions of different officials on different levels including local and national government there what hasn't got government official not a single senior government official or major crime bosses been indicted on corruption charges why is that that your court case is and then not finished yet

but i can also point to that part of the felt this and i mean once again reminding but the protests after i'm beat by a person who is now trying to escape justice from bulgaria because of not bathe. in the country for more than 700000000 you know you keep telling me about what you've done on the subject of corruption but last year the center for the study of democracy in your own capital and sophia so the least 35 percent of public procurement contracts involve corrupt practices that's 35 percent more than a 3rd this is the kind of country that you've turned bug area into and you still think you should stay on in government transparency international regs your country as the most corrupt in the european union and has done for the last 7 years consecutively why don't we call then you don't need that in this respect then the statistic which they have that they have announced that for example 58 percent of

the respondents in the area say that in the everyday life they didn't met that option and that actually according to europe or with that our country yes with 3 percent lower corruption rate then in comparison to 2017 well i don't know which you're a barometer you're looking at but the one last year said that 80 percent according to it 80 percent. i think that there is widespread corruption 78 percent think that the only way to succeed in business is to have political connections these are statistics that would shame any developing nation around the world let alone a member of the european union exactly the same europe amid the sense that 28 percent of the respondents say that they are actually seeing corruption in the everyday and 58 percent say that they have not been in not actually action in their lap and did well in the midst of as you are using i wonder if you actually listen

to the views of the people out on the streets or are you just interested in digging around in your heels and hanging on to your government salaries to listen to what actually people are saying on the streets about you yes we do and that and i think all you know on the street there is no one united view and that is no one united group of people and indignation may be a common still open to everybody but that different people with different motives there those the young people the people that are actually looking for better judicial system and that one more vigorous i think that absent those voices we hear and we want to respond to them yet by showing us according to the u.s. state department you're not doing anything about it you're providing opportunities for full scale full spectrum corruption within the government itself i wouldn't agree with that i don't know that they're talking about either way that some of the what they're talking about the western or what he's talking about the e.u. doesn't know what he's talking about nobody seems to understand you very well do

they let very honest of that country. last again and i'm telling you that in a country where the incomes of being increased where employment rate is lower and let the g.d.p. is being increased you cannot eat about the pandemic corruption because this is just cannot be achieved if there is such import such enormous and then it got upset so you say minister why is so there's so little respect in your government for the free press which is after all the bedrock of any democratic state the council of europe commission dunja many out of age noted last year the continued deterioration of media freedom in bulgaria she cited nontransparent media ownership heris mint of journalists including the use of defamation suit against them why do you allow this to go on more than 60 percent of the media coverage in the area is critical against the government they wouldn't say that this is this is like a freedom of press freedom house reported that when

a pro-government journalist and politician and milk look of was appointed last year to head bulger in national t.v. all the critical voices were silenced so with the nova broadcasting group new owners came in investigative journalists were fired you clearly have no interest in a press that holds your politicians to account to you. i wouldn't agree with just as well because in one of the most popular shows on the get a national television distracted for example was one of the main leaders of the opposition and one of the main leaders of the protests and actually every single day that a protester on the whole get a national television and people can free to express what they think about the government and what they think about the media you know get it yes but don't investigate them don't hold them to account for corruption earlier this year reporters without borders accused your government of trying to intimidate journalists it said they've been subjected to a series of verbal attacks and threats by very senior officials since the beginning

of february they talked about the prosecutor general the speaker of the national assembly why this constant intimidation is your government afraid of the truth do you do you see me being afraid of the truth we do understand that there are a lot of problems and that we need to do a lot in the fight about that option and they sound very little about it and have done very little about it in the time that this party has been in power very little 1000 that it usually is 1003 divisions the 1st senior government officials you say that this is a little and how many say to that is and how many centers are many people who have been sentenced now do you think that in the final major crime boss or no major government official has been said they think that in the fight in the fight against corruption we don't receive. such warrants that we see now at the moment given the fight against corruption is not only something that in this is that a thing of the government messed you you belittle and insult journalists during

a press conference in sofia on february 4th your prime minister likened reporters especially female reporters to turkeys and many grotesquely tried to mock them by making sounds imitating the way turkeys gobble is that how you respect the free press in your country. our prime minister just isn't specifics in his language and he didn't meant still be able to any of the journalists any disrespect i don't think that this is a serious accusation about about let the freedom of press well your country is ranked 100 and 11th in the world press freedom in that's the lowest ranking of any you member country and way lower than countries like ethiopia kenya and angola you're not ashamed that you score so low on these key indicators for democracy like free press and very much a story for the fact that the getting continues to be with the negative coverage you know of the foreign media but i do believe that if we are the object if we are

going to see that light again as i mentioned to you before is not so black and white 60 percent of the average in bulgaria is negative about the government every journalist yet is free supposed to talk about the government and the the use of social media in the countries really enormous including the us consumption of internet media and internet media is that it meant that it's all about the minister not once a particular concern is your human rights record in bulgaria and the impression that fundamentally go safeguards for citizens appeared to be missing at the end of 27 june the un committee against torture reported that the or thirty's often failed to inform arrested people of their rights in criminal proceedings that actively discouraged by manipulation threats and ill treatment from accessing those rights what's more in excess of 70 percent of detainees don't have access to

a lawyer when those criminal trials begin and some don't even have a lawyer at any stage in those criminal proceedings to say any of that strike you as fair and what kind of state he running where you permit things like that to go on. ministry of justice in the area and also the other institutions that are supposed to be taught what about these problems they are working very hard on this as a minister of labor there's a minister of social policy i'm in charge for people with disabilities people with mental can be kept and also elderly people and for example in the public $1000.00 crisis. but yet it has many it still is that the life of most of the of the people who have been now at the moment is not take us interest in centers or people with disability with people with dementia out of 16000 people who have been in these centers only for example and if for me you're not on her own a thought my question was about the lack of legal representation for people in your

justice system it's a pretty shocking that court 70 percent of detainees don't have access to a lawyer when those criminal trials begin i don't know about this figure us but i can tell you that this is the don't you read the very poorly international report her size your coming in what's next that generated this either because that was in the area a lot of lawyers in the area that also is. this case is the committee against torture said the one in every 3 people detained in a police stations are subjected to abuse there which may be they say of such severity as to amount to torture i'm a include beating handcuffing to immovable objects and the use of truncheons i thought all this stuff was supposed to end when the communists left it doesn't seem to have ended at all you seem to perpetuate this kind of treatment and i'm wondering war as i still think this is that it was actually exaggerated and it's not exactly true you can also see that during the early un is lying about you now

the un doesn't know what they're talking about human rights council committee against torture they don't know what they're talking about they don't talk to people they don't do research they simply make all this up to them and you do not believe that the geopolitical interests sometimes when we are talking about the area and international image about the get a bill that has no interest in making up stories about you. full stop and no interest whatsoever i'm sorry but you can always draw facts from certain cases and you can always say that this is the system but the system is not like this and i can tell you this as a person police already thought the 7 years in the yet you have ample that means 16 years old when the plumbing is spelled and i can tell you that that is tremendous improvement from 1998 until today well since you're in charge of social care and people with mental disabilities let me draw your attention to another report which came from the un committee against torture which is

particularly shocking because it involves the excessive use of medication and chemical restraints on people on inmates and the forcible administering of intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs without any attempt to gain consent from the people who are subjected to these treatment this is going on in your mental institution and frankly it's inhuman isn't it how do you permit that this report is particularly it would be supported i am not aware of it or its about it constance free particular institutions these institutions will be closed and all the people in this institutions will be displaced intell then yes then there is the close when will they be closed they will last until the end of this month we are working already on that and together with the prosecutor general we started that edition of all the institutions for mentalities of the devil people and if we see that there are other

it's just like this all the other institutions will be well how do i know you know because there is no independent monitoring another fact brought up by the committee against torture you have no independent special monitoring mechanism for mental health institutions we are working very closely with the non-governmental organisations sense from the 1st of september we have established the mage's young quality of social services i would left bank of the beauty. the europeans only that it isn't due to our politics at the moment yet there are no institutions for children with mental disability and we are just at in the process of institutionalization where all the people with mental disability as well minister is pretty shocking you've been in the for 10 years and you still have these institutions which administer forcible forcibly administer intrusive and irreversible psychiatric treatment and therapies such as neuroleptic drugs another trick which the communist authorities used to do on people on dissidents and people who didn't agree with them this is been going on for 10 years and you tell me your

only now getting round to doing something about it why why have you let this happen for so long last 3 terms of you this prime minister and this party in power and nothing was done about it. when asked about it what in the midst of level of social policy was 25 years ago then we get more than 50000 children in institutions now we have no more than the 2500 children that have been i'm not talking about children i'm talking about every has and then look how long it took us to do the process of the institutionalization and to say today that we don't have any more institutions for children now is that the process for elderly people and for people with mental disabilities and i am confident that in between 5 to 7 years we are going to and this is between 5 and 7 years at the time of your country's accession you promise to respect and govern according to the values of the european union those included human dignity freedom democracy equality rule of law respect for human rights

things that still do not pertain and are still not respected in your various institutions like prisons where people are being mistreated and like these mental institutions where you've acknowledged that the mistreatment is still continuing i wouldn't agree with you that they don't respect these values because i don't i don't see that this is a problem of the whole system yes that's the cases in which we don't see these values respected and in this case this we act immediately and severely. all right their needs are thank you very much for being with us.
