dissent beyond its borders a weaker businessman tells us he was forced to spy on his own people while traveling abroad and describes the tragedy that followed. and it's snowing in goals in bavaria as little bealefeld gives a mighty tired of scaring it up wonderfully good lizard. i'm serious i'm a scum that's good to have you with us me and mars military junta has filed a 2nd charge against the country's supposed leader aung san suu kyi police have charged suchi with violating the country's national disaster law adding to an existing indictment of illegally importing walkie talkies now she's scheduled to be heard in court on these new charges on the 1st of march that comes as military leaders reiterate their promise to hold new elections amid on go. in protests

against the coup across the country the u.n. special envoy to myanmar has told the country's military junta it will quote face severe consequences for any crackdown on demonstrators. and we are now joined by the u.n. special envoy on myanmar christina shannon broken or this we're going to thank you for joining us here on as we mentioned we're now hearing that aung san suu kyi is facing a 2nd to charge you had the chance to speak to the deputy head of the junta in myanmar on monday were you able to secure any guarantees that the military will refrain from violence and also release her. well this is dainty tension to. weiland as much as possible because i sing they are. very they didn't expect that so many people are going on the street and will not give up and they created a community of obedience they will not stop to to protest on the street

we also should not forget that we have around $28.00 armed organizations in the county who are against peace who sold the pup tensional off while and sees where we had. to greek islands because these good and very senior situation and you have warrants of severe consequences if there is violence if there is this crackdown by the military what does that mean i mean what is the international community's plan here. well internally in jamar i assess that you need armed organisations would not allow these. also many counties already started to implement targeted sanctions countries will probably follow i will have probably also soon to reject and security

council of when the general asked the of the un. i see you need around the world these are wary important that they don't accept this you mentioned unity but within the un human rights council russia and china are already rejected a resolution condemning the school are you concerned that you will not have unity in the security council that you might not be able to bring sanctions forward. well there are big players who are not really. protesting against us who. will also mean that the majority of member states are against so your mark when you go in a certain isolation if the continue to duties there for each company in the interest of the myanmar army to continue and we should see also that it was the 1st time since i took up my monday to use all that we had as

a statement from the security council which was accepted by russia and china i want to come back to our son suchi now because there's also been some organizing among parliamentarians in myanmar a members of her party the n l d p have set up a committee on facebook we're seeing here the page here it's called the c r p h it says it is the sole legitimate government of myanmar and they say that they've reached out to the un and other multilateral institutions for recognition so misspoken i want to ask you can you confirm that they have contacted you and would you be willing to support and recognize this group. i'm as special envoy who tried to negotiate scenes esrey us now i'm in contact with everybody and also the people in your mardy know me because before you call we pandemic crisis i was it did. 8 times per year and stayed

always announce we saw i know everybody there and clearly i'm in contact with them that's also the reason i would like to travel as quickly as possible back to myanmar which is. possible because i have a one year lease and i could travel but clearly i have to make also appropriate competitions for my new seat will have to leave it there the u.n. special envoy on me and our christine a friend of bergen or thank you so much for joining us here on to thank you. now in about an hour from now a special flight carrying around half a 1000000 doses of china's sino farm coronavirus vaccine is expected to arrive in hungary hungry it will be the 1st european union country to administer both a chinese job and russia sputniks the vaccine the government has granted emergency

approvals to the vaccines by passing approval from medical regulators after criticizing the pace of the a use vaccine world. hungary is going it alone last friday it became the 1st country in the european union to administer russia's sputnik v. vaccine starting with a batch of 2800 doses on tuesday a delivery of the chinese seen a farm vaccine is expected to arrive another 1st in the e.u. this is a clear break with the e.u.'s vaccine rollout plan which officials in hungary have repeatedly criticized for being too slow. prime minister viktor orban said hungary is taking matters into its own hands. we can't stop the virus without vaccines because it will always come back in new waves that's why our country's most important task is to get as many vaccines as possible.

not later as promised by brussels but quickly your strong. the russian and chinese vaccines were granted emergency approval in hungary but they have yet to receive the green light from the e.u.'s regulatory authority the e.m.e.a. they haven't been reviewed by hungary's medicines regulator either instead of getting approval via government decree that strong criticism from scientists the prime minister or byrne has been looking elsewhere for inspiration. neighboring serbia which is not an easy you member was the 1st one cheering in europe to it. minister china seen a farm jab this helped make serbia the country with the 2nd fastest vaccine rollout in europe after the u.k. . in hungary or a band says he hopes to inoculate 2500000 people by easter about one in 4 hunger

ariens thanks to the scene of farm jab if successful hungary's decision to go it alone could further undermine the e.u.'s common vaccination strategy. our brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena is following this story for us hi aleksandra hungary is now pursuing its own vaccine strategy because it says the e.u. roll roll out as we heard there is just going too slowly is that allowed yes it is member states are allowed to purchase vaccines outside of the contracts which the european union signed collectively for over 2000000000 and with american and european from a city called companies so hungry it's not violating any agreements however it's decision to approve and administer chinese and russian vaccines has drawn some criticism from the european union which is worry of yet another example of viktor

orban this government going its way and trying to undermine. and we just have to remember that the european union's decision to procure vaccines together and to coordinate their roll outs and european union votes you rope's solidarity yeah alexander what do you think that hungary's european partners make of this. well hungary is not the only member states that is struggling to get enough vaccines for its citizens so when the band says it's about saving lives i think that our member states understand that at the same time brussels also knows that it is also about politics there will be elections in hungary next year and oregon is under a lot of pressure to reopen the economy he has been at odds with the european union over a number of issues over its hardline stance on immigration over the rule of law corruption

and to media freedom and hungry so his way of trying to do seeking closer ties with russia and china is also his way of saying we can find partners elsewhere and that has been criticized also in the european parliament with some members saying accusing or bun of using big scenes as a political game to. weaken the european union and so did you think we could see other e.u. member states follow hungary's lead here on the vaccine rola well i think we cannot rule that out czech prime minister bobbish for example visited budapest not long ago to discuss russian and chinese vaccines and even have you waits in europe such as germany seem to be open to this idea of buying russian or chinese vaccines once they are approved in the european union so i think it's really depends on whether

the european union is able as it is promising to speed up its big scene roll out our brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena joining us thank you very much. let's get a look now at some of the latest developments in the pandemic a court in the netherlands has ordered the government to immediately lift a nighttime curfew that's been in place since january the court said the curfew lacked any proper legal basis the world health organization has granted emergency authorization to astra zeneca corona virus vaccine enabling the u.n. agencies partners to ship millions of doses to countries worldwide peru's president says almost 500 government officials are being investigated after secretly receiving early vaccinations for the virus the vaccine was then made available for doctors and other health workers and mexico has started rolling out vaccinations to its senior citizens it started vaccinating health workers in december but delayed

a woman citizenship australian prime minister scott morrison said she was acting in the national interest. a group of prominent pro-democracy activists have gone on trial in hong kong they're facing charges in connection with the anti-government protests that rocked the city in 2019 they include the founder of the hong kong democrats martin lee and media tycoon jimmy why. the chinese government's crackdown on weaker and other minorities has had devastating consequences within its borders rights groups say more than a 1000000 chinese muslims held in so-called reeducation camps have been subjected to torture rape and other abuses but in our next report you hear is of another alleged aspect of this campaign weekers force to spy on their own while abroad expanding china's ability to threaten those who speak out. they say mean was a shop owner selling imported foods including how the product in his hometown of

carlo in 2015 when he returned to sin john from a business trip to malaysia he was stopped at the airport and brought to a detention center. can they brought me into a room. he sat me down at a metal table and they tied my legs and my arms to it. by stating this position for 2 days. we meet a say in an apartment in munich germany he says he was never told what he was accused off his papers say that he was suspected of endangering state security a suspect a month in the tension then suddenly he was released but under one condition he had to agree that he would work for chinese state security. i thought i would just stay in touch with them i didn't have the intention but the term really worked for their work again. that was an illusion after his release a so you mean regularly met with an agent who introduced himself as bond. he was

able to continue traveling abroad he says in the beginning nothing specific had been asked of him and he maintains he never revealed information on anyone but it's impossible to verify these claims about one year later ayso was detained again this time he was freed with a specific request he was told to spy on a young man in turkey a cell left for istanbul then he decided not to return to china and went on a web cost with his story. on cold after the show. and that he told me you decided to appear on this show and talk about you know that your family is here in china or on the way out that stuff. since then many of his relatives have disappeared 5 siblings have been arrested ace's oldest brother was said to 25 years in jail other we go gave him the news since he cannot reach any of his relatives by phone. a lot and

now the chinese government has separated us for. the public life wasn't. well i was good health was doing all right financially not on. but it was a happy life permission. i tried to see the place where he used to live an american colleague and i followed around closely constantly harassed in. the villages in the area seem to really empty and many houses have been sued by the authorities. before reaching us as village we are saddam's or. you can just walk around here and interview people there when many negative reports. on the board all. of them that do this is one day i ask. so many people have been detained and many disappear

every day. so the question is going to end. he answered america not america did not become america without shedding a lot of blood lot of a lot more is going to happen here. that can bring on the one stop. i says waiting for his refugee status to be approved he thinks that he is relatively safe here but he also knows that he could be talked to and. i that report from a corresponding much yes spelling and he joins us for more on that story from beijing we saw a set him in there at the end of the report is he safe in germany. well he said that he feels safe in germany and then and you then in other places because he thinks germany is a country that has the ability to protect him as filed for asylum and is waiting

the response of his case germany is not sending weak is back to china it has stopped explosions of weakest to china but does not have yet the result of his application how common are these stories of weekers being forced to spy on each other and also having family members punished if they don't cooperate. well the letter is very calm and it's quite usual for china to use relatives to coerce people are brought into some compliance this is the same for dissidents as for the ethnic minorities except for the things that happen to ethnic minorities too weak because arks and other ethnic minorities are far worse than what happens to people in china so many weak abroad

are looking for their family members the contact has been cut authorities do not allow them to phone them or they pressure their relatives not to stay in contact with their relatives abroad and so this is a very very common tactics by the chinese government how many people are spying on other exiles in the week community is of course not known but there have been other cases and i as far as i have heard that we goes abroad every aware of this a very careful about whom they talk to and whom they reveal what information to. there was another case that made headlines in turkey a few weeks ago and that was somebody with a very similar history similar to ace's history who was shot in the back on the street and it is just how far is china willing to go to pursue members of the legal

community living abroad. from what we're hearing they are going very far they have been systematically collecting the contact details of week is brought they have refused to renew passports in the consulates and embassies abroad so people will be forced to go back where they are likely facing detention because having been abroad is one of the criteria that has made people suspicious to the chinese government and that has landed them in these reeducation camps we have seen these infiltration methods and spying abroad and a lot of pressure is put on the exile communities a lot of pressure is put on many china has increased the pressure on dissent brought be it its own citizens one or form a citizens one are living abroad be it other people china is making

a big effort to control what is being told about china brought correspondent to ts been a thank you. now there's been a long awaited ruling from the european court of human rights on the case of a deadly air strike in afghanistan more than a decade ago in september 2009 a german commander working with nato ordered an air strike on oil tankers hijacked by the taliban it's not about $100.00 afghans were killed they included 2 young boys whose father filed a case with the european court arguing that germany failed to investigate properly after the event in its ruling the court said it found no fault in german investigations into the incident. and our correspondent max under has been following this court case for us hi max tell us more about this ruling from the european court. but it's to me so that so this case has been dealt with by the european court for human rights for more than 5 years now it's been taken up by the grand chamber meaning this is a very significant case the job of the 17 jurors was

a look into whether germany did enough to investigate this case did enough to get to the bottom of what happened on that fateful night in september of 2009 and there were accusations of political in fuel influence accusations of of cover ups in order to protect german soldiers in charge but this unanimous decision today as you said it says basically acquitted germany of all wrongdoing there was no violation of article 2 of the group in court of human rights meaning the right to live for them or the court the court argued that germany had exclusive jurisdiction over its troops the colonel in charge colonel at the time of us client to the best of his knowledge he was not aware of civilians on the ground and he was rightfully concerned that these tanker trucks would be used as mobile bombs against against his camp so this airstrike was a legitimate measure in the eyes of the court against enemies i can enemy combatants and furthermore the court. also said that the father of 21 who lost his

2 sons was granted legal remedy so essentially the european court is in line with what the german investigators concluded more than 10 years ago and max what does this ruling mean for the future what are the consequences here. right so. it's an interesting question would have been a bit more interesting if the outcome of the the court would have been a little bit different this this this ruling could have had the potential to spark another debate to have another look into what went wrong that night although the legally germany is cleared i'm still there was a massive loss of innocent human lives of roughly 100 people there complain and say this could have been an opportunity to highlight the structural failures by by german investigators and this could also be applied to other acts naturally but this l.q. means this ruling by the court today means that no damages will be paid to the

father of the sons and that this case is likely to be closed for good also because there is no no room for appeals here max center thank you very much. fresh from winning the club world cup and qatar bahrain you know we're back to going to sleep a business then headed straight into a variant blizzard on monday night byron work spect us why decide bielefeld but the visitors began the match looking much more at home in the condition. it was a less than warm welcome home for byron after they were crowned club world champions in the heat of qatar it looked like they become a little too used to the middle east and weather as bielefeld caught them cold. michelle flop made it one nil after just 19 minutes. feel it feels confident seem to intensify with the blizzard most people gave them
