days into russia's war against ukraine. d. w. visits a town near cave to find that have people who survive brushing, occupation, a coping with the lasting troll. i will check in on a correspondent the cannes film festival events that are in full swing, but some say the party moved being overshadowed by the war in you. ah, i'm feel gale. welcome to the program. germany's foreign ministries calling for a transparent investigation after more evidence has emerged of china's brutal crackdown on its predominantly muslim wiggle minority. a cache of documents which has become known as the judge. young police files has been linked to international media and include photographs said to have been taken inside the provinces, mass incarceration facilities. this report contains 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 otto, and since he says they came from computers belonging to the ministry of public security and northern shin, young region sphere. and since 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's bike russia on folk and ashby gall 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 now the china is undoubtedly committing crimes against humanity, at least in terms of torture and other mistreatment imprisonment and persecution, a flavor. 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 jang were solely directed at terrorist threats. and that the people they are quote, live happily. well, let's consider this with kenneth roth. he's executive director of human rights watch and joins us from the world economic forum in doubles. welcome to the w, i note that you've been sharing some of these are photos on social media. you have no doubt that they're genuine. we have every reason to believe that these are accurate. they certainly correspond with the many,

many testimonies that human rights watch what has received and essentially, you know, what we have is the chinese government extensively to fight terrorism. in fact, you know, detaining a 1000000 or so weaker and other turkic muslims, essentially, to force them to abandon their religion, their language and their culture. this is a brutal crime against humanity on the likes of which really do not exist any place also in the world today. so on. this is entirely consistent with what we've been hearing over and over for weaker and others. and she drank another to human rights watch. i has been following the story, investigating these claims for some time. was there anything in there that you didn't know? was there anything in there which of the story stood out for you? well for example, we had not heard directly about the shoot to kill policy for people who try to leave the detention centers. we certainly had heard about the torture, the interrogations. i'm and you can just imagine yourself, i'm here, you're

a weaker, you're picked up, you know, for the most minor thing. you know, a man wearing a beard, you know, praying. i'm having a phone call with somebody abroad or having traveled abroad. i mean, the slightest thing that might indicate that you have some kind of foreign connection or you might be to islamic, can get you detained, you know, pulled away from your family. and then you are stuck in detention. essentially, until you can persuade your jailer that you have turned into a, you know, non religious, non r. it was a mandarin speaking, han chinese that you've kind of given up your weakness. and, and this is the pressure that people are under. um and you know, a 1000000 people in a population that's estimated around 13000000 and in this a huge percentage of the adult population. you can imagine the family split up the children left with our parents. this is a horrible situation. the chinese government denies it, but the evidence is absolutely conclusive that this is happening. and this is the story, obviously published on the day that view ends at high commissioner for human rights

of visits. ginger a province, there must be fears at michelle. bunch of that is being used for chinese propaganda . we are completely fearful of that. i mean michel bus light has had a report sitting on her desk on these atrocities. im sure dang since october i'm she promised through her spokesperson in december that it would be out in a matter of weeks. you know, here we are in the spring. still no report, and instead she's gone to china now for the longest time for 3 and a half years she was insisting on a so called unfettered investigation that was the right call. the chinese government were never going to give that to her, but she was using that as an excuse not to publish not to publish. you know, finally the chinese government is invited her in for what they call a friendly visit. you know, not an investigation, not the ability to speak freely with weeker, no capacity whatsoever to really learn what's happening. and she's going to be shown in a weaker singing and dancing and pretending that they're happy,

which is the chinese government line. you know, this is a complete whitewash. it is serving no purpose whatsoever her to go. and it is certainly not an excuse for her to continue to delay her report on what innocence are crimes against humanity, ongoing atrocities that need to be spotlighted and pressure exerted for them to stop. so what do you believe is, is staying michelle boucher let's hand you know is very difficult to know. you know, is she afraid to criticize the chinese government? perhaps on certainly her boss, un secretary general hunton. a gutierrez has, you know, to this day, been extremely reluctant to criticize the chinese government and this whole idea of a visit, i get this friendly visit. i'm came really at the time when he was in beijing for the olympics. on this past february terrace was under a lot of pressure on for not having criticize the, the crimes against humanity in children. and he immersion said, well, i've been able to arrange for the am for the high commissioner, for human rights to have a visit, wrote to china. he used the term visit, which is,

you know, beijing's language. it's not an investigation. and it seems to just for special way into this position, rather than insisting on issuing a report that's very clear. thank you so much for joining us. kind of the broth executive director of human rights watch a 3 months into the war in ukraine. the fighting has moved largely to the east of the country where rushes, making slow progress in its attempts to control the don bass region. some of the towns outside cuba saw devastating fighting us still struggling to recover. the w corresponded mac xander went to the town of hostel, where an international team of psychologists is helping residents deal with their experiences. this is a busy morning at the clinic and the key of suburb hostile males, 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 grants committee, i think is kind of

a collective trauma or if your locker with paypal, living the communities, hon. 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. and so the woman whose house was completely destroyed was living there with her son, who sir, 30 years of age and, and unfortunately he was killed her in there, dr. y 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 seemed not much left of it. and then there are those who are 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 dropped me on the porch and started to put the gun to my head. and in my mouth, we could assume that 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 with table, scorch up tight our hands and took us in an unknown direct sorry, 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 lick was free than a prisoner exchange. his son still missing

a number creditors that there was diana. it, it's you from the inside and you can't take away the sorrow with your tears. what i mean, we need distraction 3 work and life while we're waiting for his fridge or isn't it? leo was done yet the worst talk was called the renewal. so there are believe to be hundreds of similar cases in this town alone. how did you do all that has joined the team of doctors without borders seeking to assist the psychologists by sharing his experiences, doing his bit to help others heal. and european commission president, i sort of found the lion has promised that they are a you will help rebuild ukraine, so that can achieve its democratic aims. she was speaking of the world economic forum in davos, where the focus has been on the russian invasion. the reconstruction of the country should combine massive investment with ambitious we forms,

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 only gas to build a fear sustainable and strong competitive economy. and thus, to firmly support ukraine in pursuing its european path. you korean belongs in to the european family. on let's have a look at a doctor from the lines of vision where that file that font come on. she's a member of the european parliament to the green party and works with the ukraine parliamentary association committee. welcome to d. w. m isn't talk of rebuilding ukraine. rather, premier sure, while this war is still raging. well of course,

i mean what we need now is 1st of all weapons so that the ukrainians can defend themselves. they can defend that territory and can also protect the civilians what we have seen and what you have shown in your and your show was exactly that was missing for the last weeks. but nevertheless, for the, for the moral and also for, for the hope of the people in the country, no matter where they are, soldiers or civilians, it is important to have a google to have a vision to know why you, on for what are you fighting and therefore, the support of the european union is crucial for them. right. and you believe that the country now whether it be as a result of this war or for, for other reasons you believe that ukraine, the population is not firmly for joining the european union because we saw in 2014 where that direction of travel led the country well that's,

that's 100 percent. sure. i think what was left on the line has said is absolutely right. we have to go through their reforms and ukraine needs to get rid of the, all the guys and, and many other things. so this is a merit based process that goes without saying, but nevertheless that is important for the people to know what they are fighting for and how i mean how much they can rely on the european union. and why this is not a g, a not only a g o strategic approach, but why the european union would also win from, let's say, long term membership of ukraine. you say the fact that this is america based process goes without saying, i think it's definitely worth saying that this is mary. because of course there is a hope of expectation now in ukraine. good. it's, it's accession to the you will be in some way speed it up. you're saying that that's not the case. no, i think what the ukrainians ask us is the candidate status. it's not that they

become a member by tomorrow. it's that they have a short term perspective that they know that there is something they can and something they can achieve very soon. but they don't want to ask us for membership. they want an ordinary process. they don't want a fast track procedure. they want to go through all the procedures and all the reforms as all the other member states have done so far before. and i think this is rightly so working on the western block, and we see there are many unsolved questions as well. and we have to be very cautious not to let say pass one country. why it while let, let, let others way down. a president landscapes repeatedly called for european countries to stop importing russian oil and gas. how close do you believe we are to that happening? this is extremely unfortunate that hungry is blocking that for almost 4 weeks. now

. i thought that we had achieved a compromise already when it was announced, said this extremely unfortunate that for whatever reason, many political reasons, maybe also some technical reason that henry is not able to give in and not in only to give in, but really to in the sake of the piece, but we're, so for, for, for the european union's let's say credibility. add to, to find a compromise. and so i do hope that we see this soon. otherwise i do hope that the pressure on hungry will increase from all the other member states. there must be a possibility and to put more pressure and also to suspend some other funds to hungry if they are not willing to join or the other member states in this embargo which is or what you ok. thank you for that. i finally found common green m e p.

thank you. a several countries in east and africa face an acute hunger crisis. droughts conflict, covered under warren ukraine of all combined to drive out food prizes. 23000000 people across kenya, ethiopia and samaria are going hungry, according to a new report from humanitarian groups. and as a result, hundreds of thousands of children are at risk of dropping out of school to help their families survive. the dollars east africa correspondent marrow buller reports from somalia incidence favorite subject math. she is a good student and never misses class. but since the drought started food prices have skyrocketed and her mother needs her help to earn extra money. so after school, she has to sell vegetables at the local market. quite a few hours. i have to help my parents. sometimes i take my mother's place so that she can get some rest. it's a lot of stress. the 17 year old also works as

a housemaid every day after school, and then the other students, my age. i don't think they have the same problem is that they have to work a little fire. i went through a lot. i want to recover from it with 3000000 children don't go to school in somalia, it is more than 17 percent of the population. and one of the highest numbers, worldwide decades of conflict have crippled zamiah's education system. they're not enough resources or qualified teachers. the n g o clair international says that now 420000 more children are at risk of dropping out of school. a devastating locust invasion the worst drought in 4 decades, and a huge increase in food prices have caused thousands to flee their homes. 6000000

people face acute food insecurity. among them are 1400000 children were in a race against time to avert famine. we know that early intervention is critical, but we need the resources right now. otherwise, by the middle of the year, we could be looking at a humanitarian catastrophe. thanks to you and funded project students at this school received 2 meals a day, but still about 90 students out of 400 have left and the number of the student in the school. however, i forgot integrity. they went there and told them that you got the money over some of this to the same family. i'm moving to dorado where her food is what i find it. i don't know. i do. it's just across the board. any fuel, pierre, where many people emigrated to in search for food. but a chron wants to stay here and learn. i'm learning so that i'll be in

a better position in the future. her dream is to become a teacher one day. oh, let's consider this with michael dunford. he's the world food programs or regional director for eastern africa. welcome to the w this. it's like deja vu all over again. the words, humanitarian catastrophe applied to ethiopia, somalia are bits of easter africa. this happens year after year after year. why does it keep hopping or is it, is it, is that just my perception? i think it's more your perception as opposed to the reality, but unfortunately we are seeing a vulnerable region impacted particularly badly. right. at this very moment, we estimate that across the region of east and africa,

there are 82000000 people who are acutely food insecure. much of it caused by the current drought that just appeared on your, on your earlier her piece of work. so if it is my perception and then this is not a perennial problem, forgive me, but i actually doubt that i think that this is a perennial problem. i wonder why we haven't fixed it yet. what are we missing? what is not happening? that needs to happen in order to, if not completely end this at least less in its effects year after year. we'll the trouble is that the moment we're facing a number of factors that are contributing to the shocks that we are experiencing, as you mentioned in your earlier introduction, we have ongoing conflicts across the region in places like t grey in somalia, in southern sudan. we now have the effects of climate, and unfortunately this is a region that is particularly vulnerable. covert of course has added to the macro

economic impact and now because of the inflationary pressures, much of it caused by the war in ukraine. we're seeing a spiral. and unfortunately, the situation is getting worse. so how much is the war in ukraine? you think of diverting attention and perhaps aid away from this region? there is no doubt that the war is creating a big distraction from what is happening on the ground in east and africa. naturally given the size, scale, and severity of the war. a lot of the attention, the political efforts and the funding is going to address that. those needs. it means that we are as the world food program and others having to spend additional time trying to advocate for the needs in eastern africa. and so as you do that, what, what, what sort of level of success are you having?

because as i say, when it does seem certainly with the news media, if not, if not with governments, they can only handle one international crisis at a time. unfortunately, it seems to be true. we are investing more time in trying to raise the awareness and attention to this crisis. as you said, in your earlier report, almost 15000000 people today are impacted by the drought. this is going to increase further by the end of the year, and we need desperately to attract additional funding to allow the world food program to upscale its activities. at the beginning of the year, we estimated that we would support $4500000.00 people. and we needed $327000000.00 run now through to the end of the year. we need to support 7800000 people. and unfortunately, the figures have blown out to a $1000000000.00. well, we wish you well with your efforts. thank you. for outlining the publisher clearly,

michael dunford from the world food program. thanks very much. i can fill festivals in full swing, but this is party modes being overshadowed by the war in ukraine and miniature fly over to mark the premier of tom cruz's top gun. maverick, a poor many who had recently experienced the warring ukraine like filmmaker, hannah bill, bravo, fiance, lithuanian director, was killed during the filming of the documentary manual polish to participation of russian dissident directors, also proving controversial as well to d. w. scott rocks bra, he's there and he can and i put it to him that all this glamorous hobnobbing, want a war is being fought just a short flight flight away. seems to that long, incongruous. 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 red carpets, the parties, the celebrities, that's all here. but the, the worn ukraine,

a really looms over 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 are 2 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, 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 a social satire about modern day capitalism, about supermodels and the super rich, who 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 bonds. ok. so we're halfway through the can film festival. have you spotted any prime candidates for this? she 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 the 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 taking the top prize here, the bomb door and a few days on. thank you for that. asked roxborough at the cannes film festival. i thought since you're up to date, well well there's at the top of the hour next on d. w, around of the gym and bundis legal aid kick off. have a good day with ah, with
