experience outstanding shopping and dining office and drawing our services. be our guest at frankfurt airport city. managed by frappe waterloo. ah this is d w. news line from berlin. new evidence of china's mistreatment of week of muslims. a day to leak of photos from inside. jin chang is mass internment camps, opposite reg, claims of state sanctioned repression in china's northwest also on the program. 90

days into russia's war against ukraine, d. w. visits a town near keith to find out how people who survived brushing occupation. a coping with the lasting trauma and russia's war looms large over the german chance was 3 country tour of africa in an exclusive interview. olaf shoulds tells the w about the help ballad is offering the content. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. germany's foreign ministry is calling for a transference investigation. after more evidence emerged of china's brutal crack down on its predominantly muslim wiggle minority, a cache of documents which has become known as asians young police files has been linked to international media. include photographs said to have been taken inside

the provinces of mass incarceration facilities. of this report contained some distressing images. armed security forces taking a prisoner away. they hold a chair during interrogation, which human rights watch says is used for torture. these disturbing images are from chinese and turman camps in the administrative district of tion. shawn. in 2018. they allegedly show how brutally china treats us weaker minority. the photos were sent to china, researcher utley. and since he sent, they came from computers belonging to the ministry of public security and northern shin, young region, sphere and fence. this is like a window into a police state about which so little information gets out. we've really never seen anything like it. monique is in the researcher past the data on $214.00 international media companies, including germany, spyglass, yep. on funk and dash beagle and b, b. c. news. after weeks of examining the data,

the team of reporters verified and evaluated it. among other findings was a shoot to kill order for prisoners attempting to escape from the internment camps . this doesn't surprise human rights organizations. he not, china is undoubtedly committing crimes against humanity, at least in terms of torture and other mistreatment imprisonment and persecution affordable. the chinese government has yet to respond to a comprehensive inquiry about the research. in an official statement. it said that the mattress taken and she and john were solely directed at terrorist threats, and that the people there quote, live happily was there. so in our report, the china researcher who received those files and then passed them on to international news organizations, is adrien thence. he's a senior fellow for china studies of the victims of communism, memorial foundation and an expert on china's minority policy. a welcome to d w. you have no doubt that these are files in these photos

a show what they claim to show. i don't. it's always possible to fig documents, it's a lot harder to fig images, and it's especially even much harder to fake this amount of image material and as type of image material em how eager reconstruct scenes of heavily on post police for sub machine guns. so be subduing detainees and putting them in handcuffs a why do you think this data was linked to you? it was linked to me shortly after have published this young papers. another set of leaked and tunnel files confidential speeches of shipping. i've been publishing a lot of these leaks and been receiving these leaks because i specialize in the analysis and authentication off a chinese government documents. right. so you would be the sensible person if one was a whistleblower 2 to send these 2 and a where do you think these are these,

this data as actually come from? do you think this is someone within the chinese system or has the system been hacked? the system has been hacked, that's for sure. it was a hacking attack, right straight into police computers, even into internment camp computers penetrating the chinese systems and getting the evidence straight from the horse's mouth. and which of the stories in what appears to be quite a distressing catalogue, which are the stories that stood out most for you? what stood out for me is the mass internment off completely clearly innocent people . i mean, if you look at the, the, the evidence that comes with these files, the spreadsheets, the reasons for the attention. you know, you have like young teenagers or old women. and the files don't even say they've done anything. that's merely guilt by association. these people simply have like

a parent in detention or, or relative and that's really all that they've done. what is surprising about the, the images in the data that's been released? is it the questions that he throws up? for instance, why would chinese authorities, apparently documents so thoroughly the sorts of mistreatment that they have always denied carrying out oh, i'm not surprised at all, because i have seen the 20 states document its own policies meticulously. and part of that is a lack of trust in the system. lower level administrations have to prove that a implementing policy and there's a lot of requirements. these internment camps, they have to hold drove, and they are regularly inspected by superiors. and i believe the images were likely created during one of those visits by a superior officials. and that's how so much of the material that we have been gathering over the past years has in fact, i think, been generated. now the story has been published by various media outlets around

the world as the un high commissioner for human rights is actually a visiting. as in jan, what do you think her chinese host will let? michelle basher, let's see. i think the chinese have had many years to prepare for this and it will have very carefully control what personally can see, even if they show her prison, they're going to make sure all of these are just hard and criminal, real terrorists who are in there. so i think especially on such a high profile visit, she's not going to see anything you and i think it was a real mis take her to go constantly. she should have sent and low level reconnaissance teams, low level investigative teams without any photo ops. just trying to find out information and move around without this grant entourage because you think otherwise she's being used by the chinese state. yes, she absolutely has been used for brought up journeys. we saw the photo with one

year smiling and holding up something. it's, it's, i think it's a travesty on the back of this atrocity to be doing this. i think someone like partially should know better and should think carefully what she does. thank you so much for joining us. audience answer expert on china's a minority policy. thank you. and it the 3 months into the war in ukraine, the fighting has moved largely to the east of the country where russia making slow progress in its attempts to control the don bass region. some of the towns outside cave that so devastating fighting is still recovery are still struggling to recover . the w correspondent, max xander, went to the town of hostile, well aware, an international team. a psychologist is helping residents deal with their experiences. a busy morning at the clinic and the key of suburb hostile metals, bullet holes in the windows bear witness to the russian occupation. medical staff have been working round the clock since the clinic reopened in april because

they're dealing with visible and invisible goods. i think is kind of the collective troll reesha locker with people living in the communities. honorable psychologist malcolm hugo has joined the operation here as part of the international organization, doctors without borders. he just returned from a home visit in the area. so the woman whose house was completely destroyed was living there with her son, who is say, 30 years of age and her. and unfortunately, he was killed anna in the driveway boy a rocket. and so she's obviously going through a grading process he's on her own. now. the key of suburbs bore the brunt of the fighting. in the early days of the invasion, that was followed by a ruthless occupation marked by violence against residence. the russians have left reconstruction is under way, but people here are only starting to put their lives back together. the emotional

scars run deep. there are various types of trauma people here are dealing like those who experienced the occupation and extreme levels of violence than others. returning to their homes, see not much left of it. and then there are, those were taken prisoner by the enemy kidnaps even taken across the border. dark on your snow conditions all night is one of them focus on that. he says russian soldiers shot him in both legs in front of his home. then took him and his son. and you probably lay dropped me on the porch and started to put the gun to my head. and in my mouth, we could assume that the when my son saw this, he got on his knees and screamed, please don't kill my dad now. so they put us in the vehicle. blindfolded off was tables, courtroom tied our hands and took us in an unknown direction you by this evening, just on the pavilion. they were taken across the border to bela bruce than flown to cost. and russia. weeks later, all dick was freed than

a prisoner exchange. his son still missing? reasonable creditors that australia, it's you from the inside and you can't take away the sorrow with your tears. what it is, i mean, we need distraction 3 work and life while we're waiting for his fridge or isn't it you will was done yet the worst or was quarter the renewal of there are believe to be hundreds of similar cases in this town alone. how did you do, although it has joined the team of doctors without borders? seeking to assist the psychologists by sharing his experiences with him doing his bit to help others heal. and european commission presidents are sort of found a lion has promised that the you european union will help rebuild ukraine so that it can achieve its democratic aims. she was breaking up the world economic forum in davos, where the focus has been on the russian invasion of ukraine. the reconstruction of

the country should combine massive investment with ambitious reforms. for example, to modernize ukraine's administrative capacity to firmly establish the rule of law and the independence of the judicially to fight corruption, get rid of the oligarchs to build a feared sustainable and strong competitive economy. and thus, to firmly support ukraine in pursuing its european path. you frame the lungs into the european family. let's talk to you. crane and p lesser vassal blanco, who joins us from a diverse in the swiss alps. welcome to d. w. that's quite a shopping list. the commission president laid out there. how bad was ukraine's a problem with the rule of law and corruption before the war broke out?

hello. well, before the war, as the say was now, praying is working on reforms and on its problems are forced out problem number one is counter and russian aggression. this, in fact, has been ukraine's problem number one since february 2014 for 8 years now. but despite the war, despite the dynamic grain has been set on reform and on changing legislation, 1st of all, to adopted to the european norms and standards on 2nd level to help the brain, your nation reg, of the plague of corruption. right. and how, how bad was that play? well, and what turns you want to speak and her numbers, or in the way that the population will. how would you describe how ropes was

ukraine? how corrupt was ukraine in terms of the rule of law and the independence of its judiciary? what did you have qualms about before the war started? so that's exactly where i was going to get that for, for me as a member of parliament and from the opposition party, we were always pushing for reform, judicial system and for it to be carried out properly for the judicial system to be to be restructured and reformed in completely not just was half measures as, as the government was often trying to do for us as a country. and for me as a position that's important to, to have a traditional system which the people can crossed on which, pardon. and ruskin crossed this was the ongoing walk which,

which had to be paused because of the price. this is but which is still we are constantly coming back dodge, and we are constantly working on the station. for example, the parliament is working ah right now. and what's your feeling about the life sentence passed yesterday on the russian soldier who was found guilty of committing war crimes in your country? there is a penal code, the criminal code of ukraine and da da da measure is the sanctions for committing war crimes for killing another person or a deliberately killing civilians by a military person. that is a life sentence that a court hearing was conducted under the procedure under the procedure laid out into a criminal procedural code of ukraine and under the criminal code of ukraine. ah, so i would say that yesterday was one of the 1st cases where justice was served to

a will criminal you're there, the world economic could afford. what are your hopes up to what you hoped to get out of that meeting what you want from them? as we one from all the international community and all ukrainian allen, i allen and partner as we want more support for your grade right now. there must be a common effort to stop roches aggression, but also a common effort to make sure that father aggression is prevented from happening in the future on that. prevention can only be a reality if russia pays reparations for all the damage and harm cost to you. great, but also to older partners and allies who have been supporting great for 8 years and especially during the last 3 months. good talk. you. thank you so much for joining us. so ukrainian, mt less university lincoln. thank you. to take a look at her small stories making news around the world, starting in moldova,

where the former president ego has been detained on charges of treason and corruption. he had close relations with the russian president vladimir putin wanted office. russia says it's concerned he's been persecuted for his political views. but his prime minister, maurice johnson, is facing renewed accusations of lying after new photos emerged of him drinking at a downing street party during lockdown. in 2020. the new pictures obtained by the news cameras, a senior civil servant, is expected to publish a long awaited full report into the so called party gates scandal. london's elizabeth tre line has opened to the public. it's one of your biggest infrastructure projects and is expected to carry 200000000 people a year. it is of course, named after queen elizabeth through celebrating 70 years on the throne. it cost $19000000000.00 pounds or $24000000000.00 euros to

german chancellor. olaf sholtes is said that ending cold imports from russia before winter will be possible with the help of south africa. a major cold producer made the comments during a visit to johannesburg to meet to president ceramic poser, president, run the poses taken a neutral stance on russia's invasion of ukraine. the german chance was wrapping up his 1st trip to africa since taking office and that the trip included stops in san diego and news year. in johannesburg, he sat down for an exclusive interview with the w. speaking with our chief political editor, mckayla kaufman, and the chancellor stressed the importance that germany places on its ties with the continent. demons as it will have. so if we catch up with you here in south africa, your last stop on your 1st african trip. you start in senegal, you went on tonight, are you pretty says the angle immacule put a focus on africa. what does it feel like for you now to touch down here for the

1st time as german south africa to continent next to europe. and it is of essence that we work intensely to have very good relations with all the states in africa. and also it is important that we develop our relations with all the democratic states on the globe. democracy, the rule of law questions that are important for us and not just something that is linked with the so called western countries. it's also very important if we look at all the countries in the world. so south africa, democracy, send a gun. and this is why i visited them and my, i think it is important that we continue to work together saying that the world has a good future. if we cooperate, if we understand that there will be a lot of very relevant states in the future in the fifty's of the century,

we should now make it feasible that there is a good cooperation that we can create a multi lateral but now the how to the ukraine conflicts looms laws here. this is europe being very much busy with itself. there's a war in europe. and at the same time, he had many countries, particularly those that you visited are set to feel the brunt of the effects. the looming hunger crisis, fuel sausages fertilizers, thought is, is what responsibility the germany feel to face countries that have nothing to do with this conflict from the 1st russian invaded ukraine, started a brutal war against the neighbor country. and so it is important that we stick together to give the ukraine the chance to defend itself, its integrity, its serenity. and this is also important for peace on the globe. we should agreed

that there should never again be successful. attempt to change board us with force and this is what russia is trying to do. and this is why we cannot accept this. and this is why so many countries are supporting ukraine with financial means with weapons also. and we developed the sanctions regime against russia to convince the russian leadership that they should go away from the war that they should start negotiations with the ukraine. them with jordan troops from ukraine territory where they invaded the country. and on the other hand, just opposite that, which is obvious, that a lot of countries are suffering from this war and from the russian aggression. and this is why we are very decided that we will help

the countries that are suffering. this is why we started to cooperate and fighting against or the consequences of having not enough food of supporting the countries with their own economic difficulties they have. and this is why we also speak about how we can work together in this very difficult crisis. but the best thing to do is ending the war. and if russia stop, it's aggression and be ready for a peace. this would be the best for the whole globe. what concrete assistance can countries like, for instance, a don somalia, night or expect? we are working on supporting the board program and we are starting to get the initiative against the shortages that are coming up now. and we will work together with the countries on the global level together with the united nations.

and this is what we are trying to convince all other countries that have to means to do so to do together with us. well, i saw tons of germany on his 1st trip to africa. thank you very much. thank you. i didn't see the whole of that interview on d. w. you tube channels that account film festival is in full swing, but this year's party mood is being overshadowed by the war in ukraine military fly over about the premier of tom cruz's top gun. not really a pole. those were recently experienced. the ukraine was console makers. hannah, below bravo. a fiance di director montes fed, nor each a credit reaches, was killed during the filming of the documentary mario published to partition are participation of a russian dissident director. is also proving controversial. so

let's go a live to can to join d w correspondent at scott rocks for a welcome scott: it seems rather incongruous. all this glittering hobnobbing going on while a war is being a fort, just a short flight away. yeah, that's definitely case. so congress is the word i mean with this is of course the, the glitzy glamorous can film festival. that's what we expect the reg carpets, the parties, the celebrities, that's all here. but the, the worn ukraine really looms over it like like a dark shadow. i mean, the opening ceremony here a couple of days ago, we had the president of ukraine, vladimir lensky, addressing the crowd via video and giving a very, very powerful movie speech. calling on the, the entertainment industry worldwide to not remain silent about the atrocities of the war. and saying that if with the full support of the west that you can win this

war. but right after his, as i say, very powerful, very moving speech. the curtain went up and we watched a zombie comedy from, from france. so, so that's sort of in cognitive, rudy, that sort of dissonance is really been a part of this entire camp film festival. right. and so the war is being reflected in the film and discussions going on there to degree. yes. there are a lot of ukrainian filmmakers here. i spoken to a number of them. there's a certain focus on ukrainian film and ukrainian cinema here at the vessel and the stories ukrainians have to tell, particularly about this conflict. but this is in the, at the end, a film festival look and the focus is on the movies more than the politics. so the, everyone really is talking about what are the hot films, what are the interesting movies being shown here. there's a huge buzz around a political film, but one that's not about ukraine called triangle of sadness is the social satire of a modern day. capitalism about supermodels and the super rich,

you find their social status overturned and after a major disaster on a yacht, really funny movie. i think those type of discussions are the ones most people are having. but of course the war and ukraine is never, far from people's thoughts. okay. so half way through the con film festival. have you spotted any prime candidates for this year? is a palm door. yeah, i think there's a lot of really good films this year. actually. i haven't really seen a stinker so far, although there's still time i b b o 2 that i thought were really ex, that one i thought to day from david krona burke called crime to the future. a dystopian set in the future where a surgery has become the new sex, disturbing but very, very good. i'm henderson, korean film from park chang, whoop, called decisions to leave, which is sort of a loose adaptation of hit alfred hitchcock's vertigo. and just as good, really an excellently made film and i think probably if i would have to pick one, it has the best chance of picking the top prize here, the palm door and a few days time. thank you for that. us got roxborough of the cannes film festival
