planets in infrared light, including some of the sharpest diffuse of the planet's rings for decades. the last time scientists had such a clear picture of nephew neptune was in 1989 when natalie boyd to craft flew by a set you up to date. i'll have more world news at the top of the our parish manager will be up next week. the w use asia have a good every day for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do

we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable smart new solutions over steam set in our ways or is truly unique. and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. good ideas, the environmental series, global 3000 on d, w, and online visit the doctor, news a shark coming up to date. he santa's head of states of a can boarding regime that my dad nearly 2000000 people. and now his last hope of freedom is gone. a year and back to court has overturned in the field from the former head of state of the committee rouge. 91 year old accuse on pon will

continue to serve a life sentence in jail. but does this verdict count does justice for the millions of cambodians, tortured and killed? blas cambodia, police cracked down on cyber crime, gangs accused of human trafficking is held finally arriving for far of scam victims being held captive. ah. by british vanity, welcome to the doctor, news asia. glad you could join us. and international court has apparently the genocide conviction of the last surviving senior member of cambodia as brutal command rouge regime, q. some pun who's 90. 1 years old now served as head of state in the communist rouge between 975 and 79. he will continue to serve the remainder of his life in prison. after the un backed tribunal rejected his appeal against his 2018

conviction. his is only the 3rd conviction the court could manage in 16 years. and after having spent $337000000.00 officially called the extraordinary chambers in the court of cambodia, it was tasked with trying the crimes of the committee rouge. and now it's work is done. we've discussed how effective it truly was. but 1st, this report here to bear witness. as the chapter closes on cambodia is violent past. survivors of the canary were among those who attended the final verdict to the last living leader of the regime. the court rejected cale sometimes appeal and upheld the 91 year olds conviction for genocide. this is in a 2 day met by the supreme court member a some new milestone border e. c. c. c,

a vol. it the mission to bring to say and justice for the with them of the choir to reach him and also deceased. the weakening of the an elder e c. c. c. after 16 years. it's the last rolling for the tribunal that was set up to prosecute leaders of the camera roche. but the un backed court has been widely criticized. i think you and wanted so badly for this court to succeed, that they were willing to overlook evidence of political interference at long the tribunal has convicted just 3, come a rouge leaders. and at a cost of more than $330000000.00 us dollars. the verdict marks the end of the international push for justice, but many survivors say they will never forgive or forget young lo noon, but as i cannot forget, the suffering young mike,

my back was wounded. bob, i could not forget you because i still feel the pain. i will feel the pain until i die, blah, blah. the come, our rouge grabbed power in 1975. there violent reforms targeted intellectuals and ethnic minorities and millions of people were sent to labor camps. the regime only lasted for years, but during that time around $2000000.00 cambodians died from starvation, torture, or in mass executions. in what came to be known as the killing fields. cayo some fun served as head of state in the commercial rouge regime. jo, mom unmanly mother, he will not forgive k u some fun ally you. if we forgive him, the younger generation will follow him again. the tribunal's final rolling has brought to some closure for survivors. but with so few come,

every late is facing justice. it's a small comfort for a country, still god by genocide and john mean all for more is 40 now. so from the documentation center of cambodia, which documents the countries time under the command rouge miss. so let's start with the court itself. 16 years and $337000000.00 later, it could only short 3 convictions offer regime. the key, nearly 2000000 people do victims of the command rouge view that as justice. well, although just this can be done differently, can be defined differently by different people. a fall quick definition of justice or can what in people in my language mean, i don't call it open about gender norman july. no, it needs to make patricia guilty of their bad needs, committed,

and to prove that in the us. and so the car a quarter to 4 pm destroy in that it put commander, was seen the leaders, including cues upon the size, crimes against humanity and more crimes. so just this is very expensive, you know, you need to assume it is the lar own, but it, how no matter how much does it cost and how long does it take? just this is rich. you say it is within reach. if you're talking about a period of 16 years. yeah. and the court will wind up after this latest addict. i'm just wondering is that 8 for accountability for the committee? really just crimes. so it is very important to think about, you know, like the court is not good. justice is not perfect. so it's also important to think about them to do so. measure it means to be need to continue documenting and

educating about the atrocity and to documented the foremost mitochondria story. and then now we've got them asked survivors in order to elucidate lag to truth and learn about mistakes in the past in order to avoid. so it prevention is very important and we need to also think about empower survivors. so why was and our family in order to provide improper access to health care and how to check because they don't have it now and to think about also community development. you know, it is also kind of recreation that the fan to for feel so. now is timing because the car is finished. so it's timing to consider about community development in order to compensate what has been lost. although there is no, like a proper or what is the proper amount of compensation, but at least a do something?

yes. doctors upon himself who's a pain was overturned today? i mean, he was head of state and the comment rose but claimed that he had the influence. is that something that most cambodian survivors agree with why, you know, he failed at them being cambodian people in the judge asked because steve from deer appeal, hearing that ok, so he is found guilty of genocide. trans again. humanity more cram, fit me. we have enough evidence, we had enough information enough that it took his gear so he failed to to, to do that. right. we'll leave it there for the time being. but thanks so much for joining us today is very important. read it for you now. so joining us from the documentation center of cambodia, thank you so much. thank you for having me. ah,

we stay in cambodia where there have been raids on compounds across the country to free the victims of suspected cyber crime, gangs pressure has been going on. can board, you know, authorities to stamp out the scammers, julio, people from around asia with social media ads, promising high paying jobs. instead, they are held against their will, their passports confiscated and forced to work in illegal gambling and scam called centers. cambodian authorities here they found evidence of human trafficking, illegal confinement and torture. former captives have told of brutal conditions in the compounds. the un envoy to cambodia recently described the situation for victims. as a court living hell. the victims of these gangs include taiwanese hung congos, chinese ties and vietnamese nationals. and now slowly, we're seeing some finally return to their home countries. the main center of these

cams is she handled drill a port city in cambodia where many of these compounds are located. but there are also reports of gangs operating in my of i d, me in mama as well as allow us and thailand from all its bringing fin robinson from human rights brought to georgetown from banker fil human rights groups have been pushing for action against these cyber crime scams. so surely these raids in cambodia are a positive development. well it's something that's finally happening and we have been pressing for this quite some time. but the raids that we're seeing are really just dealing with the tip of the iceberg. we think that there's a lot more going on that has not been addressed by the cambodian government. in fact that the cambodian government has been covering up or look in the other way at a minimum when dealing with the cyber gangs. in many cases, we believe actually that these gangs have high level connections in various

different parts of cambodia, whether it be through the police or the military or, or the government. officials themselves on twitter as well. today you asked if cambodia was prosecuting victims of human trafficking. i mean what's happening to the scam victims once they're freed? well, what should happen is that they should be treated as human trafficking victims and there should be a, a approach that really puts the victims at the center of the response. but right now, it looks like they are being dealt with as either persons who have violated laws or at a minimum violated immigration statutes and are that they are facing fines and possible prosecution. what we want is people to be treated as victims to be treated humanely, to not be criminalized for crimes. they may have committed by the fact that they were exploited in being controlled and held and ultimately allowed to go home to

the countries that they came from. you know, you were talking about her connection to the highest level levels in cambodia and making it possible for these criminals to operate their networks. if that is the situation, how hard is it to actually crack down on these gangs, gangs, which appear to be very well connected? well, i think that what we're seeing right now is response in places like can body a to the international pressure from the various governments that are complaining about what has happened to their foreign nationals out to you know, the people who have been exploited in this way. and also the kind of media essays that we're seeing really cambodia is waking up and recognizing that they have a major problem with their international reputation because of the operation of the gangs from their territories. and they're gonna have to crack down. i think that ultimately we have to continue the pressure so that there is

a continued will to crack down because without the political commitment in cambodia to do something about this, these gangs were allowed to continue to operate with impunity were leave there for the time being all as a pleasure, talking to a friend, robinson from human rights watch. thank you. and you'll find more in depth coverage on these cams, on youtube channel that's did up the news. and as ever, you can also follow us on facebook and twitter back tomorrow at the same time. and see you then ah ah, is the end of the pandemic in site. we show what he could look like. return to normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult
