why. and in japan, a shot at a new life. how one solitary hospital in the country is offering abundant babies afresh, stopped. ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the dublin, use asia. glad you could join us. it's been called genocide by the united states and the parliament of canada, france, and the netherlands. and yet on the w news asia, we have extensively covered china's detention of up to a 1000000. we good and other most minorities in camps in the northwest and shin jang region. former detainees have told us about torture and rape. and there have been extensive investigations into allegations. the detainees are made to stand for hours on end in jail. seeing patriotic songs of the chinese communist party and face beatings. now,

an exhibition here in berlin that ends to day is trying to bring all of this to life for visitors, right? last line. so you, we are proud and wrong. we pledge our loyalty. everybody's gone is an exhibition that makes visitors experience what incarceration is like in a chinese prism in shin? jang, there's video testimonies from we girls describing that experiences. and there's also actors who make visitors think patriotic songs, for instance, to understand just one of the forms of coercion inmates have to go through that again. and john, i mean, i understood you are, is the director of that exhibition marker, this midget of others. welcome. what are you hoping to achieve with this exhibition? what they're hoping to achieve with us exhibition or like the immersive journalism, as we call it, is to really in white audience,

members to feel for themselves how it look like to live in a very heavily for real state. because usually when you talk about these camps or like prison system or like the even like the general surveillance in the region, people will look at you like this doesn't exist. we are in the 21 century 21st century. but that do exist. and by inviting people we want to share this experienced us, but embodied experience. and what does that build up to? i mean, because if you're talking about change, ultimately change has to come from governments that represent these groups of people. so is that what you're looking for or something else? yeah, that's the far away ultimate goal. we would like governments like german government or like french govern to act more because there have been very few actual steps that they have been taken on. but i think the changes should come. so from the

normal people from like, like me, like you like all the consumers because lot, lots of like what these situation related to were your region is also the forced labor. so we wanted to emphasize that to evoke people to, you know, like, fights against, or like be aware at least of like what you're buying, what you're eating is not related to 4th labor. i have to ask, this exhibition is being held in berlin. how do you read the german government performance or how the german government has reacted to the allegations of chinese abuses, entry and j. yeah, i, i, and i'm not very familiar with german situation, but i know that they, they are very close allies with china. the china and, and they have like lots of contracts business to do with china. i understand that that's why a german government has been there quite silence for many years now. but i, i heard that there have been some petitions. some,

some kind of movement has been happening inside of german parliament. so they try to also like raise awareness around this question and to ask german government to act more. but i'm like hoping that there will be more actions coming in in next month. next year's about this exhibition itself, this must feel very person for you because you were born in room 3. yes. the capital of sion during what a lot of these are, what the world many countries of the world describe as genocide has taken place. do you know, personally of people who have been become a part of this prison system? yes, i have many friends who have been to these camps and i still have some teachers. some professors that i personally know that i work with. they are still in these camps and we don't have any information about where, where they are held or like what else, what, what are the prison sentence or like what, what, what is their fault to being held in these camps?

i am thinking about that. i had thought he, she was one of these very interesting arch apologise to very important hon just worked on legal culture and she has been held in this campsite. we don't know what's going on. there's also bad too soon. he is a poet, and i am like trying to advocate for his work to be known to be shirts in my artistic work. and he is a poet and he's, he's a writer. he is an educator. he is held in these camps. we don't know what's going on with him. you're a weaker artist, you're sort of out of the picture for you knowing that people who are like you are in these camps. it's really devastating. and it's also scary for me, and i'm really stressed out about the situation by helping these people in this camps. what chinese government eventually is doing is to, you know, like really restrict our voices. so it's, it is as if like,

my voice is taken away when i think about these people in camps and in prison. i think the last time you were in motion during was in 2013. if i'm not correct, would you like to go back to syndrome? i cannot even think about it because it's really, i don't know how i will be received there by the chinese government. because as i said in my testimonials, i'm not a very active person. i don't artistic work, but even though i do like, really few activities, activism, but it's still talking about the issue, talking like making artwork to raise awareness. so i'm assuming that i'm, i'm a problem for chinese government. they don't want me to talk. they don't want me to make our artistic work. so going back might create some great danger for my, for me, for my, my friends and my family credit,

intervene and leave it there. thank you so much for coming and look up those media director of the exhibition. everybody's gone. thank you so much. thank you very much. ah, in japan, like in many other asian countries, an unwanted pregnancy can lead to a lifetime of social exclusion for mothers. many are forced to abandon their babies . one hospital in the island nation decided to do something about it. she k hospital in southern japan is now the only place in the country where mothers can safely leave their babies and give them a shot at a better life. student could reach me at 2 was just a bewildered toddler when his mother placed him in the hatch at gk hospital. in southern japan's kumato. he still keeps the things he was wearing on that day. for 15 years now, the clinic has been the only place in japan where a child can be anonymously and safely abandoned by desperate family members. so it

each tooth other next generation of body enhancement. and if you want to stop health control, just take them soap and wash the tattoo off healthy tatters. that's it for to very visible from the region on our website did of dot com, forward slash asia. and you can, as of earth also follows on facebook and twitter. we're back tomorrow. at the same time. we'll see you then to buy the land of contrast of ambitions of equality suddenly 5 years ago mahatma gandhi peacefully led the country to independence,
