attached for doing this to save lives and spend. that's it. very also on the day, a new report exposes more evidence of china, systematic prosecution, of which we got mostly minority. will these details of beijing crimes finally make the international community take action? i think we need to insist upon the fact that what is behind those crimes is really an attempt to eradicate, to some gate, to raise practices running just practices, current full practices, a language that is what all report that she's what r a b is demonstrating the welcome to the day and we began on the 8th of the postponed g 7 summit in cornwall and south west england. postpone because of the pandemic that shut down life around the

world. now widespread and accelerating vaccination campaigns in rich countries like the u. s. and the u. k. bringing the normality back one job at a time. but only if you're lucky enough to live in a country with the cash to pay for the vaccines. for many people in africa and asia, developing economists immunity remains a distant dream. and biden has pledged millions of doses from the u. s. alone and the hope of declarations from many more g 7 countries. and today, we're taking a major step that will supercharge the global fight against suspend demick. in my direction, the united states will purchase an additional half 1000000000 doses from pfizer pfizer vaccine that will donate nearly $100.00 low and lower middle income countries. they will be the beneficiaries. well, let's have

a look at that with a professor. yep. boom. who is regional representative for api said to africa, a thought of doctors without borders. welcome to d w professor. but let's start with that and i spent from a precedent by me. sounds like good news. yeah, thank you for inviting me indeed. sounds like a good word, but you have mixed feelings between the good use of having or donation 6 months after what some of our nation. but also it's like people giving us fish. why are we actually need to learn how to fish? how so? we have that feeling. okay, so the face being the vaccine and learning. what is the building vaccination centers or building vaccine manufacturing centers in africa? yeah, definitely the trust part, you're getting the research that can help to, to find the vaccine that watching africa. you see what's happening interrupted by

walking over and some of the parties actually building or supporting or strengthening the already existing manufacturer that we have in the continent. that how would be able to produce our own pocket. but for all of the order, these thinking our retention ok say with this place professor, we're going to look at the situation around the world. we've got a map here that shows the average number of new confirmed cases per 1000000 people every day over the past week and take a look. you'll see that the high case load right now are in latin america with other hotspots in mongolia and parts of europe. and southern africa, of course, this data is based on confirmed cases. limited testing and reporting in some countries means that actual case loads are likely to be much higher. there are also huge discrepancies when it comes to the rollout of covey. 19 vaccinations. now on

this map, you'll see that the dock of the color, the greater the share of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose . so we have countries like a canada, israel, chile and the u. k. old leaving the way, but across most of africa, less than one percent of the population has been vaccinated. many developing countries, especially on the african continent, are still waiting for vaccines promised by the kofax international donation program . meanwhile, china gave 200000 doses to chad. this month, the 1st vaccines to reach the country where officials are trying to fight the pandemic with limited testing and treatment capacity. the w, west african correspondent fred vanya reports from a champion capital in gemini, and germane i tasks. chad has we put against the pandemic uniform, but seen for at least one 100000 people. not much for population of 16000000,

but it's something this is the country as men testing facility in the only proper hospital. they have been fighting the crone of us almost rind. last to just turn the could be the 1900 situation was katie. at the beginning of a zipper, we tested the patient who can speak, and some of them tested positive. some of the health workers and other patients died, of course, 900 percent understand official figures show less than 5 solved on infections, and fewer than 20900 that your numbers almost stuck in a higher testing and health care infrastructure is so poor that creek infrastructure and deployed tickets to be, to their shod, the at the bottom of the need for international, but being help on p the last week when they call the,

the 1900 task force called stop from china cohen that fan farm. when we received c, not fun, but since it was really great joy for us and please, you know, our center call to work because peter games going to make patients with preexisting conditions. our priority officials know the chinese, the nation can only be the fuss tape these fringes ready for vaccines began to come under the covert programming. he would get those if that was much wanted at least 20 percent of the population of chad verified. love with us or for now if you come for my feet, many i skeptical its origin more if we had the means to get other back, feel records. but if we don't have the means and this kind of take a look,

and we'll just because it's a chinese feed doesn't mean uniform like theme doesn't kid have a repeat or us approval. but the world health organization phase, it offers up to 79 percent protection in charge. people used to taking what they can get a spread mahoney reported from in jamaica back to professor. yeah, the boom professor, we've just had about the problem with the vaccine scepter. is this something that you've encountered? yeah, they can be very important problem that we seen many cars did you mention? child is a thinking. come a rude india. see also the, the given back pop over are we're having the model we market expired. i think people are leading to take the scene because most of them feel like the higher

risk of getting the core we didn't even if, because they don't feel like every day from the concur to thinking that i see that they might not trust because of all the information to get on the social media rights and getting your hands on. vaccine is the important thing that so china sending in those sign vaccines outside of the co. vic of the kovacs system, is the kovak system working? well, it depends on the country country, like kenya, some point to receive $1000000.00 from the car. can you keep the use 900000 for the front of the population point? there were no more those people talk with the gun do because of what, what company is producing for africa, country. so it's really, really a challenge for some countries more read cannot meet for the fruit guys. so why, you know, there are countries that don't want to use even receiving,

so it's quite complex and sufficient across the country and he's quite a diligence. we thank you for joining us and explaining that to us professor, professor of a 2nd from epicenter, africa. well, 37 leaders, a gathering in the seaside resort of coffee space southwest and england by miss johnson, joe biden. i'm going to matt and the others. i'd love to discuss russia will be high on the agenda and what the g 7 has deemed provocative behavior by moscow. they're also due to address china, human rights and climate change amongst other issues. but what's the point of the g 7? why are all these national leaders burning all that carbon to fly all that way? let's explore that with professor john j cut and who's director of the g 7 research group with the university of toronto. welcome to the w. so let's start there. what's the point of the g 7?

well, most major problems today can't be solved by staying home alone conquering coal that you mention. the contraction of commerce, catastrophic climate change. they require the attention at the highest level of an action by country's leaders. and those leaders must go abroad to agree with their only real peers. what they're going to do and the best place to go is the g 7. it's a compact club of the world's biggest, richest democracies. and it combines the greatest material power with the most attractive, soft power of open democracy and human rights. if you do decide as a club of the biggest, richest democracies, because it wasn't always thus, and the, it's nice,

it does seem to have changed since they kicked russia out of the g 8 in 2014. and the fact that china is not part of it. 11 does how you can address global issues without russia and without china. well, let's start with russia. when it was incrementally admitted, became almost a 4 member and 998. the key thing was it was committed to democracy and it was democratizing. and after 1998, the painful crisis was starting to get rich again. but it was suspended in 2014 because it invaded and annex the territory of another european country ukraine. so it is democracy, which is i think my funded mental glow of the g 7. all right,

that's when will but well that's, don't worry about rushing just about i want to talk about a china 1st because that will, that will be a big part of this to see if they can come up with some sort of joint way of dealing with china, but you have joe biden on the, the 100 tribes is effectively isolate china. i'm a europe and germany in particular, who i try to keep china at arm's length, but i still desperate to trade with them at the con, the, those 2 philosophies towards the same. and to me, if i can use that word, can they co exist all indeed, in fact, these g 7 leaders are far more united in their views on china. tough love than ever before. in the g 7. we see that on the certainly in italy, mary, a dry g bridge are much more skeptical than is

a recent predecessors direct who basically wanted to join china as a belt and road form. and we see the voters in saxony and hold on saying, well, we want to stay with the democratic values. and everybody is saying, well, i'm not sure why way should be given the inside track of our new digital economy, which we're building. and then you get into hong kong, arbitrary detention of citizens, canadians, australians and others. and who knows. ready when i say there's a lot of unanimity that just finally let's talk about the fact, but this is by not to trump. how much difference will american re engagement make 2 outcomes of g 7 meetings a lot. but we have to remember that the summit hosted by g 7 leaders actually

did a lot even with trump there. the star, the show angle merkel at the g 20 a hamburg summit. justin shadow at the g 7 summit in shuttle war. but buying will make a big difference. he's bringing all of america's power and the power of attorney ideals, re engagement in the big international institutions. the paris agreement, the world health organization make this, but he's saying not i'm back for me. he's feeling i'm back to lead together with you. so it shared leadership and we don't always see that from our friends in the united states. it's very clear, professor, thank you so much for joining us, professor john j. curtain from the university of terms of pleasure. oh, here's me a new report by amnesty international,

a detailed china systematic prosecution of the week of minority in the in john region. it shows how things 2017 beijing has carried out a campaign of repression against the predominantly muslim minority incarcerating millions in so called reeducation camps. but even though spat imprisonment is subject to harsh surveillance, w learn more about the daily realities facing weakness from a former school teacher who now lives in freedom in the netherlands. the surveillance of the week, it starts at the entrance to their home. a few years ago, faced scanning devices suddenly appeared at residential compounds all over the city of rome. they had direct dealing to the police. this is the compound where k b was civic, used to live. she has since moved to the netherlands and can now speak freely. we

are a lot more like amazon. we were certainly not allowed visitors anymore, only very close relatives. and we had to register them in advance and wait for approval in that was on a critical day. the room she is, the capital of since young in china is northwest. the region is home to the week is a turkey muslim people, conflicts between weak is and the chinese government. have you wrapped it in violence in the past? since 2017, the region has seen an unprecedented incarceration of muslim minorities in re education caps could be new acidic, used to be a primary school teacher when she was suddenly assigned to this facility on the outskirts of the city, to teach mentoring to an educated week, as she was told, i saw that the feet and risks of the people were in shackles, were moving as if in slow motion. that is when i understood they had not taken me to a school for an educated adult, but to

a prison come. it is unclear what is happening now with this site. we quickly stepped from inquiring behind the incarceration stands a powerful network of surveillance and oppression. police stations with an eyesight of each other patrols in this treat policeman carry mobile id checking devices. it doesn't happen as much now, but in the past people would get stopped every few 100 meters and they came up. if an alarm went off during one of these checks heavily on policemen would arrive. they were already waiting nearby again because they would put a black bag on the suspect's head and take them away. i have witness that often even today as to start shaking when i see a black plastic back to the heart of paul's on the outskirts of the city,

we managed to feel the cluster of data centers. police data and surveillance footage are processed here. an app on their phone alerts, policemen, one software has identified a suspect under close surveillance. those who have recently moved to a different city travel abroad. acquiring an official suspect database who use an unusual amount of electricity pose phone is disconnected. again, we asked up from what is happening and seen john is seen by observe is around the world as a crime against humanity. a system reminiscent of the doc is periods of the 20th century pollitt. by today's technology. let's take a closer look at this with john mariner, who's director of crisis response and amnesty international. she joined us from new york city. welcome to

b w. i'm guessing from your report and very little of what we've just seen from matto former teacher surprises. you know, it reflects exactly what our findings are in our, in our report to be released today. we have found just extreme and indeed draconian repression inflicted on muslim communities infringing what your you just documented there, the relentless math, surveillance, strict government controls, and really cultural and religious. re sure that every muslim faces in chin jang in their daily life. and then of course, in the internment camps, we documented torture and ceaseless forced indoctrination of muslim communities. so, you know, in as a whole, we concluded that china is responsible for crimes against humanity in jane. you know, a very serious finding a yes, including the imprisonment,

torture and persecution. i risk with this is not the 1st time that we have heard about this. indeed, we've been hearing of these sorts of reports on from your own organization for some time. what is it about it's it's a weak muslim minority that china seems to find so reprehensible. i mean, judging from the government's repressive actions, it seems that they find islam and turkey muslim cult culture to be a threat. their goal appears to be, to forcibly assimilate muslims and to root out islamic religious beliefs and turkey, muslim ethnic cultural practices. it seems that they want to replace these practices with state sanction, secular views, and really most notably, i think most importantly with loyalty to the chinese communist party. and so when basing says it has to defend itself against separate says to want to set up their

own states and the separatists have killed $100.00. the people in terror attacks. how do you respond? i would say unfortunately, there is no evidence that the chinese authorities are targeting terrorists and separatists in fact, just the opposite far from being a targeted response to a terrorist threat. what we've documented infringing is broad and sweeping, repressive measures that really impact muslims, collectively as a group on the basis of religion and ethnic city. right. we have the united states, the european union. we have great britain as well, all imposing sanctions on china over this issue. but i'm just the international believes that more needs to be done. absolutely, i mean these are widespread and systematic human rights abuses. they are an exec, inexorable part of daily life. for millions of muslim minorities so well and what

needs to be done we think the us should be taking action to deal with this situation. we would like to see the un establish an independent investigative mechanism which could be set up by the human rights council by the general assembly . we would like to see the un secretary general stop his violence on this matter and denounce what is happening in changing and put pressure on the chinese government to stop these abuses. because china, being a prominent member of the security council, has all sorts of vito powers over these sorts of investigations. it's your sort of bang your head against a particularly intransitive wall. that it certainly has a veto power at the security council, but it actually doesn't have the power to stop an investigation by the general assembly by the human rights council. the un high commissioner for human rights

could suicide bomb k, initiate an investigation. so. so actually the u. n. does have powers, i think it's china's, you know, influence and political sway. that's quelling bodies like the un investigative bodies into violence. it's not, you know, that the technical veto power that they enjoy the council. all right, good. talking to thank you so much for joining us, john monona from amnesty international. thank you. and that was the day as ever the conversation continues online. you'll find this on twitter at d. w. use make as part of your day. i'll leave you with some images of a solar eclipse known as the ring of fire, which happens when the moon moves between and have good the
