they all get the negative test result the need in time to compete. the opening ceremony fireworks have been rehearsed, but critics say that china is using the pieces of the games to distract from human rights abuses. so this is a case have hers is, is that k to turn this pause arina into a space? political is minisey and a talk to white was all those are sizes. but china itself boasts of its strength and promises a safe winter olympics in beijing. the plight of china's weaker community and their harsh repression. it looms large over the winter olympics and with opposition suppressed with in china. many are making their voices heard elsewhere. or washington bureau chief in his pole introduces us to a weaker restaurant owner in los angeles, whose father disappeared 3 years ago. these mountains

remind book ra kean, very much of home. he left china 6 years ago to start a new life in the us. everything seemed to go well until his father, who remained in china, was a promptly snatched from his home during the night of october 25th in 2018. his father owned one of the biggest rigor publishing firms and our king believes that his fight to protect the legal language. and culture was the reason why the chinese government put him in prison. arkwin says his father was like a best friend supporting him financially in the us. my biggest fear i really scared like he couldn't her cadillac, his grandfather, childrens to his color of his me again. the slightly his fear to see him again. i this

u. s. government then euro, they can do more to pressure on china. about the jan da genocide. after his father was detained, mcgraw are keen, opened the restaurant in the larger l. a area he named it to lance after the bigger region in east dungeon, john, where he grew up. one of the most popular dishes is lockman, a dish of hen pulled. noodles reagan cleans them from the fall restaurant area of china, the border of pakistan in tajikistan, where most of the region, 12000000 wiggers is surprising. not many people know about vigorous even there. so many news on the media. so like, i have to la attract them to create like curiosity. dan lester. this

t shirt, i think it helps a lot like people be asked about vigour. they googled riggers, some of his customers already know a lot about the topic. others are just about to find out. as an american, i feel a responsibility as a conscientious consumer. to understand that the wiggers are inextricably connected to american consumer ship and capitalism. that there are so many companies that have direct or indirect relationships, to weaker labor through the forced detention and force labor camps that the chinese are inflicting on them and have been for so long. so i am definitely interested in knowing more about them and i plan to google a wicker later today. and for more now i'm joined by doctor you, sir. president of the world. weaker conference, which advocates for we're human rights. you joins me to night from brussels. it's

good to have you on the program, you know, were just a few days away from the start of the winter games in beijing and china has prepared or has left no room anywhere for a discussion to take place about what is happening to the wiggers inside the country, do you think it's possible at all for there to be any attention given to the plight of wiggers? one. thank you for having me and i truly, before i answered an question, i'm saying this is not olympic game is it is genocide. get its games because international olympic games undermine coal. both of the olympic movement, it says the kid a message to the china and that to the international community. i'll see in court with and if you decide to tell policy today more than a 1000000 of of we were a suffering concentration. can china come with the policy coming?

genocide of is that we worse so in this to shan and international olympic committee, ignore it all international warning since i was on, on the 2 years one on the whole years. so many international organization act is and have been calling to international the big comedy to move the game, but always it has been ignored in the cold. it's all content. so it's really at sat still and it is. that's why i'm saying it is genocide. games is taking place in aging. and mr. you, so let me ask you, you know, the head of the i of see is thomas bar. he's a german. but he has gone on the record and said that the games are about the games . and the, that's it, what would you say to him tonight? i'm ahead of these games. but thomas blah est olympic is

solidarity. p is united and the harmony wall. and that, and it builds a bit of all but bid or should be mean free democrat, or there is a no camps, no force liber factories, no called father hill. you separation? no, a burglar, an artist did not police. you put it, put his better quality of work does not. genocide isn't meant to walk but isn't today, is it? china is come. it's janice. i thought that's why i like to say thomas, but you are not on is you are supporting as the chinese government, your palm. chinese gone for book on the campaign and pool. liked was 6 young assault an allegation 1st level on the inside the united states and other countries are not sending. any politicians are diplomats as a diplomatic boycott, but they are sitting there athletes. is that enough for you?

is that a, a signal that is strong enough? mr. is a, can you hear me? oh, unfortunately we've lost mr. isa there with the weaker world congress. we will try to get back with him if possible. we certainly apologize for that. the international community of stepping up diplomatic efforts to defuse the crisis over ukraine. the u. s. and britain are threatening to impose tough new sanctions. if russia invades the country, you are secretary of state entity blinkin has reinforced washington support for keith, russian president vladimir putin. he has hit back to day and his 1st remarks on the crisis. this year, news accusing the west of ignoring moscow's concerns about security, russia, security in the region. this is roy you with the flags of his allies on proud display. ukraine's president announced a huge addition to his nation's army corps,

west william and we will create a new political co operation format in europe between ukraine, great britain and poland. voice was within the next 3 years. we will increase the number of the ukrainian armed forces 210-0000 professional soldiers. regina army, british prime minister, boris johnson, flew to give to meet with zelinski in a press conference afterwards. johnson appealed for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. russia invasion of ukraine would be a political disaster. humanitarian disaster, in my view, would also be for russia for the world, a military disaster as well. and i of the potential invasion completely, the flies in the face of president putin's claims to be acting in the interest of the ukrainian people. generally speaking from moscow,

russian president vladimir putin accused ukraine's nato allies of exploiting the crisis for their own benefit and the family glow net, you village at their most important goal is to contain russia. that's the thing from you in this sense of ukraine itself, is just a tool to achieve this goal in doing this tutoring. this can be done in different ways, and one of them is the draws not into armed conflict. russia continues to build up its forces in the region, even as diplomats from both sides are still trying to solve the crisis. russian troops are set to hold military drills and bela roost this month. based from camps like this one, just a few miles from the polish border. or i want to bring in a correspondent nick connelly. he joins me now from eve. he knows the ins and outs of ukraine. it's good to see you again. nic and then we've got more threats of sanctions being directed at russia. has this visit from the british prime minister? has it helped de escalate the situation at all?

why it's definitely all about the optics. it's about a show of diplomatic salzar to the ukraine. you get the sense right now, that volume is lensky basically has little in the way of breaks between all the western european and central european leaders here coming to visit him in kiff is definitely not business. as usual, we have the polish premise to day tomorrow. the dutch prime minister in town, and there was little in the way of escalation in terms of concrete steps that with threats of sanctions, as you mentioned. but given that they're already being spoke about. now you would imagine that any exposed russian companies would have longed on their best to remove any assets from the u. k. y u k jurisdictions. but it, ukraine's a very happy to see this. this is the sinus, the ukranian population that this issue is not peripheral to the agenda across europe. that europe is paying attention to what's being done here on ukraine's borders. and the u. k. has already provided the ukraine all me with anti tank

missiles. so that is something that has gone down very well and has been seen as a significant contribution to ukraine's ability to defend itself. and as such, something that sir, makes it more unlikely that russia will actually intervene. russian president vladimir putin, he broke his silence to day. we hadn't heard from him since mid december of last year. and he's accusing the united states of using ukraine to contain russia. now, is that something that is even on the radar in ukraine? i mean, do they see that as being possible at all or do they feel like they're being used as a geopolitical pond by the grim i think for ukrainians. the fact that they are going to be, as long as they are not part of nature, not part of the you are not closely controlled by russia. they're always going to be tensions around ukraine. ukraine is too big in terms of population in terms of its size, geographically and in terms of its strategic location, heart of europe to be a kind of strategic after thought in the way that the country like finland can be.

that is a given. i think most ukrainians are not surprised by that. i think the big thing for most ukrainians is where the ukraine is at the table when these discussions are taking place now very much in has consistently ignored the ukrainians. in recent months, russian leaders calling ukraine of western vessel and talking any to the u. s. administration. the u. s. for it's part, has made a big effort to try to include ukraine's this format even here, anti blinking. you a secretive state saying nothing about ukraine without ukraine at the table. so finality, ukraine's feeling relatively calm that they are being kept in the loop. and we know ukrainian president zalinski. he has told both the us and russia, you know, told dian down all of the vitriol here about fighting it the same time he's announced an increase in the number of ukrainian troops houses being received in the country with a sort of head being scratched the same time we had a similar occasion just last week where he came out with the video message telling

ukrainians to not panic by to tell it, telling them they didn't need to buy matches another essentials. and the next day he told the u. s. newspaper that can give one of ukraine's big cities on the russian border could be occupied relatively as soon. so lots of mixed messaging there. i think there is a desire on the part of the ukrainian leadership to not to be seen, to be saber rattling, not to give the russians anything that they can use against ukraine. say, here, look, ukraine is pulling for fight. but equally, they're trying to reassure the population they are doing enough to protect ukraine . so i think it's pretty difficult to and probably not much point to look for any deep logic there. but a ton of great stress for the people here in charge and give. yeah, i mean, we can only imagine what people there are going through every day. it'll be as nic connelly reporting tonight from keith. as always, nick, thank you. is a relative now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . heavy gunfire has erupt it in the capital of guinea bas al, raising fears of another attempted coup in the west african nation. the president

it was too late. even seasoned investigators say they've been shocked by the killings. skirt. nissan for foster from deutschland, it's not our idea of germany that someone just starts shooting on the street with hunting weapons and opens fire just because he might be caught poaching. that's why this case is so disturbing, understood the things to fall faster and prosecutors say there does not appear to be any political motive behind this crime, the premier of the state of rhineland platinum, where the shooting took place, expressed her dismay at the deaths pull, it's i, every day police officers are on the streets for us everywhere to protect society, and to be there from the community to sign. and those who attacked these officers are attacking the whole of society. the thing of the guns gazette aft and the younger police officer was just 24 years old and still completing her training when she died. that fact can only heightened the sense of disbelief across germany at
