on its own, just practice or is it at the nature of bass and will clock with a wing 7 months before russia attack your crane a film team, documents daily life, the town hour. the people who are dealing with the growing tension change their world currently go in and be insight starts joining on dw this, there's data veneers, a shot coming up today. i will no meant to provide security is destroying hong kong scholars to build heritage fair to for us to under pressure under the national security law, has driven auto select the risk overseas profile, how they are trying to present elements of hong kong sculpture overseas. the

expenditure, welcome to the the news aisha. i'm glad you could join us on cons. awesome culture has suffered since paging and bows to decode your netflix account, you know, on the city 3 years ago, fell out of arbitrary arrest for so called suspicious publications or articles seen as anti government as false to many authors, residents and actors to seek refuge abroad yeah, they are trying to present the cultural and memory of hong kong correspondence, vinny, so reports from the u. k. once upon a time sherman walter, but his followers into sheep village, they took over the village and started to eat the sheep. but the sheep resisted this children's book was one of the 1st band by the hong kong government. since the national security lot took effect. this year, isaac chang, and other in congress who left the city,

republished it in britain. they published new episodes and even an english version . they've sold thousands of copies of we'll see. you have got the books mean a lot to hong congress because of its history and repercussions as we want to keep the stories a live until hong kong or is a home or abroad that we haven't been defeated. yes, of all the top, i say many feel the story about sherman wolf and the sheep refers to the chinese leadership and hong kong, hers. and the harsh reaction to protests in 2019. that harsh reaction continues. hong kong george last year pulled the books were seditious, and jailed its creators. police recently arrested people just for owning the books . protests on the street have dwindled over the last 3 years. many arrests, the national security law. and cobit mean, if you still take part attention switched to publications, a local newspaper reports, the public libraries followed official orders and have removed more than 40 percent

of books and videos covering political themes. those about the $198090.00 ottoman square massacre, hong kong anti government protests, and almost everything created by prominent dissidence, disappeared from the selves. many schools have done the same way over time. the government has a juicy not to recommend books featuring bought ideology. so you may find other ways to read those books. how are you to go? highly bullshit. when hong zoom left hong kong for britain, this is what he took with him. well i, yep. the you are the most of my belongings were books except some necessary clothes . i brought every piece of paper from home that most of keeping the print isn't usually because online stuff can be easily removed nowadays. and hong kong. he brought so many books with him. 300 boxes that when he settled in birmingham, he built a shuttle to house them, a library in exile. i was like from the sea salt obviously was on the la digital

equity, not from the facts are wiped off by the force of the national security loan, whether it's digital or printed, just everyone should preserve any information about the old hong kong before 2020. well, so that our next generation has reliable sources to rebuild our memories and pass code on the go get on the policy. once a week, this library in london becomes a little part of hong kong. denise and some other hong kong are started last year. they call it gathering leads. each saturday they filled the shelves with books passed from friend to friend or bought from independent bookstores, back in hong kong. they also organized screening discussion salons and more to keep hong kong culture a life the so finally looking for example, we're afraid that our kids won't speak our mother tongue anymore. so we have cantonese reading and singing activities. it's a soft power. so i think it's what maintains our identity, so yeah, i'm only like entity. isaac's thought he was safe to launch the sheep village books

in exile out of reach of home comes national security laws. but a reading in britain was abruptly cancelled due to concerns at the venue and a well known american digital publishing platform took down their books, setting unspecified legal reasons. isaac thinks such organizations are worried about upsetting the chinese government. the national security laws are designed to reach beyond chinese borders. still, he's determined to carry on telling the stories of the sheep title. resistance is still alive, passing on our history. speaking the truth by and by the hong kong government to this even only reading a book is a way of defiance on the apple and see that boy i don't call. and jeremy novel mo, from washington dc is active is sunny. true. he's an advisor to the non profit hong kong democracy council and a co founder of flow h k, a hong kong magazine for the d. s. for up. sonny, you're based in the united states. why was it important for you to start the magazine for the hong kong dias for?

so that's a good question. muscle. many young people, we witness call the national some of the law that will impose, you can 2020 is being recognized by the homo government to rest. this has been assigned as the system. so i think the freedom of speech is no longer protected. you know, come on, in fact, more than 1400 political present this way. now get a phone call. so we meet and oversee platform that allows us for a to discuss the future or phone call and discuss trying to support our techs in a more comprehensive way to come back to shooting event. and this information in home call. so we do have a, we hot in overseas, in order to ensure the dissemination of authentic information can be spread. and the narrative of the co democracy, cab ketchup 5 universities research credit report, profiling hong kong, active as an office to flight abroad,

and preserving the cultural memory of hong kong. people such as these students lean hong kong as i told that, a certain number of people of black home home within this to use. i mean, also i've been encouraged by the participation to oversee skim indigo k. but also something because an odd has left phone call the this they want to have, and i'm following the allow them to create, compose, and feel free. but what is all of that uh uh, where the content that is being created overseas by people such as you also publish all of that, contributing to democracy and home. com all i mean, oh, when we left the phone call, actually we still do a lot of work. the up, the aspect book i noticed was try to um, to help the demo democracy mussman from oversee,

by due to william adults advocacy and organizing this kind of oversee media. he just let me know that says the correct on many pulled him up as a media like the apple pie is being shut down, and more than thousands of journalists become unemployed. so we have this kind of platform. we do, we have this kind of, we see in a little past the us bar like look to support them. that would be, we'd be essential to keep the momentum and try to bring in that their, their energy to, to, to move. but you're talking about the momentum energy i'd like to look at what it is also like for people who have fled here. this on by that i'd like to play from an artist long, who fled to london. he already is talking about how safe he feels in the city we slack hometown guessing we want to be safe. yeah. yeah. and then we cite the u. k. governmental saving us. that's the that's true. but we're not totally say to you

. yes. yes. if. if the government don't stand up strong against the ccp, we will never be safe. yeah. so i need to just talk to him long talking over there . can you help us understand why he doesn't feel safe in the okay, despite being away from china. oh, thank you so much for waiting this. i think that is also a fairly alarming phenomenon that we use in new york or in the world even in new j in auto, po, democracy, preston, stage which is called the trust and national repression. so when we talk about this at the end, the wellbeing of hong kong people or even full audit groups night, a weekly or the baton groups. we often based on most of the repression even reflect on our model then. so the trust and national depression use will show for the chinese government and hold on government. they have been doing

a lot of in overseas. also trying to fraction and sign is dissipated. so when we talk about the national stuff, people and the correct dining hall, one of the a problem of that is even if you just try to enjoy the privilege and freedom, the new k for instance. and then you want to criticize to beijing government. the whole government can actually, uh, accuse you and prosecute you using the national stuff. he's not even going to base in london. so i think this kind of tries to national depression as well. and that also strict bi limits the people of freedom of speech and freedom of movement. and that is for allow me as should be most, as by the full in governments. looking at the culture in hong kong itself, in october 2021. i'm going introduced a new censorship law to bob feelings that coat might endanger national security. does this mean the directors now need to steer clear of some topics to avoid putting invest as an actors at risk?

as i am afraid. do you have right to beauteous um, based on that new censorship floor? uh, and the parents like care i get home home. um, so many movies and documentary is actually which of the most common being banned in home call. so many movies cannot be even watch my home computer. they can only be watch, give, oversee. and by the uh, the, the, the people who talk to then call makes cubby, also with the mask hope walking to as opposed to the casselman. so yes, people the south sense of the content in order to survive in hong kong, and that also helps you why some offices and other people they would love to off for and not a foreign country to all to, to live in order to, to continue with their work and also some some artwork. now, where some governments have taken an excise from hong kong, but do you think they have adequately stood up for hong kong democracy,

a desktop every time in question? because all the, all we now we also come to a fresh quote which is that the full and especially of the, almost when we do beat that the international companies like a co ordinated was born to um, um, through the whole government and to a division government at the 1st year of the whole of the outbreak of the homeless when you 2019 the u. s. and the national committee on the did something which is like providing humanitarian both ways. and the us government also send sion. some you've of doors who should be held responsible for the crack down in home call, but we still lack the response from the you take off a month from the ego to see that the really, to the risk was the hunger. and then the really to also uh, tooth got the more restrictive stance to take action on to hold the evil to is

a comfortable, you know, call. so yes, i think they should do more. uh, you know, other um to that the international community and know that they can walk away with that. we leave it there. thanks so much for joining us today. sunday jerome or that does have such a date as most orders from the region on our website. the dublin dot com forward slash a share and as you can, phone was on facebook and twitter feed back tomorrow at the same time. see you then by the every jenny is wireless surprises. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police

a french company that wants to send russian nuclear rods to hungary. it was called a walk into the program and there 36 hour 1000000000 if gave me per goshen. and his wagner group showed the world that that him are putting his grip on power may not be as firm as many thought after. before heading a ruthless and brutal band of mercenaries for goshen serve time in jail and then started a catering business one that made him rich things a note small part to his former patron and the criminal miss disability in the area of guinea pig ocean. after serving time in prison, he became put in skater. so where does the former complex money come from? in the 1990s he opened a high end restaurant in st. petersburg. that's where he met flooding air poison and began winning, lucrative catering contracts from the government.
