is that they offshore tourist attraction be added to the list of endangered heritage sites? it said the world's largest reef system was threatened by rising ocean temperatures and other factors, but now the agency has issued a new report. it calls for australia to instead submit regular updates on its reef protection efforts. the agency will consider the plan next month. after short break, it is the the view news asia to stay with us. if you can. i'm sarah kelly and berlin . thanks for watching the people in trucks inject, when trying to see the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. the beast, straight pieces,

extreme around 200 people around the world. more than 150000000 people, which we ask why? because no one should have the make up your own mind. me for mine's the the you're watching dw news asia coming up to date, false accusations in foreign lands, aging. new tactic to go after chinese human rights activists and their families. also on the show, the migrants who make the dead lead journey across the mediterranean, often do not understand the dangers. and that is because of the human smugglers. on

social media apps light take talk will take a closer look. the . my name is melissa chant, thanks for joining us. the chinese state or pro badging proxy actors has started to target human rights activists to live abroad. they do this by making false bomb threats against hotels and embassies, giving the name of the dissident as the perpetrator. so what happens next is the police, whether in europe or the middle east or asia arrests, the dissident. in some cases the situation is cleared up quickly and they are let go. but in others it becomes consequential. most recently in bangkok, the wife and children of an exiled chinese dissident, were escaping china. and on their way to freedom in the netherlands when they had

their e, u, v says were invoked following the bomb threat. then ty, authorities detained them. here's go, pung, the son recounting their experience. i was, i was like, you don't have ha, yes, a sudden i was terrified and angry when i heard the accusation. thomasville and i cannot accept their false accusations and slander was the general. what else? my father told me that they also asked the time police to arrest and 14, well, if we need one issued a warrant type thomason's, i don't tie what type when he was joining us is bethany allen. every human she is the china reporter at acs hughes and was the 1st to report on this new chinese tactic back in the spring. she is also author of badging rules, how china weaponized it's economy to confront the world. i mean, would it be fair to call that you officials in this instance useful idiots. i mean, they sell for it, right? the rowboat, these visas, and now we have a valuable chinese family in danger. you know, i think it's a,

it's a difficult situation because the whole reason that you know what, what goals family believes and what other uh, you know, activists who have been subject to similar tactics believe is that the chinese government, that the chinese state is ultimately behind these false bomb threats and, and to be clear, no bombs have been found in any of these instances. and, but, you know, there are such things as, you know, real bomb threats that are made against, against embassies against hotel chains. and so it was already is do have to, to investigate. but without family, in particular, it's not clear, especially given my previous reporting follow up reporting from a and, you know, a very positive, very clear reporting environment in the netherlands. that with this is now well known tactics. it's not clear why that,

you know this families asylum application has not been reactivated. let's talk about ty authorities. how are they handling this to? well, the, the government of thailand is, is very close to china and that has been true for a number of years. if you look back in the 2010, the tide government deported dozens of riggers back to china despite it being very clear that those riggers would not face any kind of justice there. and indeed those, those men who were reported back to china have not been seen again so many pro democracy act of this or train this it is who are outside of china. don't travel to thailand for this, for this very reason that they know that the tire authorities are not going to be on the side of sacks or a justice, but are likely to do the bidding of, of the chinese government. now you reported on this bomb threat tactics back in the

spring, it doesn't appear as, as governments, particularly their immigration officials or law enforcement or any more aware of this frightening development. and what have you seen in terms of reaction and response, the right to the story that actually was reported back in march and april related to 3 different people in 3 different countries wanting you in the netherlands. i'm assuming you, tom, in germany and bob flew in the united states who is now us citizen. and there were bomb threats made in their names against luxury hotel chains, in, in more than just those 3 countries. and we can confirm around 9 countries, and the authorities in different countries have reacted differently. now, bob flew in the us is, you know, well known and well respected and us, you know,

authorities. so if you talk to investigators about it, you know, he said that he spoke with the, the guys office of trans national oppression. and through tongue in germany told me that she has been working with the german police on an investigation. you know, looking at who has been behind this harassment winding you, it has reported this to josh authorities. he has been not very pleased with their reaction and not the same is true for a, a dust reporter of a woman who has been also covering this. and she has also said that that your stories are not taking it seriously or not being proactive about investigating and not doing enough to help the people who are the targets of this kind of a threat. now this is basically if, if the chinese government isn't the behind useful contrast, they're essentially what the nice thing local law enforcement to try to harass and perhaps even get these wanted pro democracy activist deported back to china. and if

that's the case, that is really an escalation in what we have seen in the chinese government tactics of extra territorial transnational or oppression. try to bring a back people to china, bethany allen and abraham in thank you so much for joining us. more than 100000 migrants have made the dangerous journey across the mediterranean . it's so far this year and more than 2000 have died or gone missing. many of these people are from asia, including bangladesh, afghanistan, and pakistan. 90 percent of migrants who enter the european union, k human smugglers who over promise and under deliver, often with the deadly consequences. looking at the footage of these boats, you may wonder why people sign up for such a deadly trip. there are many reasons, but one is because of this information and miss information online.

and let's get more on this from dw reporter vinnish java it. venus, how are human traffickers using social media, renaissance data, all of our social media. they have presence on youtube, on facebook, and very actively working on tick tock. i'm open from accounts that appear to be of human smart plugs. regularly video content is uploaded and on this video, so you can see migrate and sometimes getting out of god out of drugs, or sometimes walking into the country that they were drunk promised by human deaths . it goes and in trouble. so be, if you, if these microphones are getting testimonies and telling that you know that introducing themselves and saying that we have 50, reached austria or, or it me. and then the human traffickers, us, or them about the services. and they use system known as deem which data for

to the in the can a journey that they get from the as you mean, like you've got gang, he's got game yes for basically human death because on the one by the game. and so they would say that, you know, his game is very professional of his game is very comfortable. and also use words like donkey like deck fee for all of these terms are being used in this business and human traffic as are making these convincing videos. so trying to establish their credit ability that they are offering the best services off because migration this journey costs a lot of money. people have to save up for years before they hand over money. i mean, it seems like the smugglers are, are very convincing then. yeah, and, and they make really emotional videos. it's a tactic that they use often in these videos they put on job these rap music and some of the admitted, for example, they've given examples. one of the amused of the song that they often used implies

that you, i'm not if you cross the border so basically in leaking migration is an october priority. heroism, behaviorism, and one of the songs. but another song that they use is it implies that it requires a lot of garbage and, and a big heart to become part of the game. because who wants to a so photo loan, who wants to live alone by to have to do it to provide for the family. so basically there is romanticize, the concept of migration. and, and this, these songs are not only used by human smugglers on their, be to us, but also by migrants who are taking these journeys. and a lot of people are following these accounts and getting inspired and believing that it's a fantasy worth of do you talk about a lot of people following these accounts? would it be easy for someone like me or youtube to follow these accounts? you have some other sites, not for difficult actually, i did it so,

so i created an account and i started following a few comments like love and i contacted one of them and i asked for a particular focus of the game. and i also, i use this word that is that our game will really move from one destination to another. and i was from it. and i was uh, doors that you know, whatever. uh, so with this i would need a, you know, they will be, they really provide me those services and i was surprised how easy it was for me to contact a human smuggler, often on facebook uh, and on you youtube. and also wanted to see people commenting on these videos. and there is a communication going on between human smuggler and people. but minutes that this is only one side of the story, which is very dozy and beautifully. but the reality is, a lot of people who take up these journeys, it's a, it's, it's a dangerous journey. thousands of people have, have died in these journeys. and we can not forget what happened in june. the ship that gift the size of the cost of these hundreds of people died in more than

$350.00 well from buckets done, and only 12 survived. so let's have a listen to what the want us to survive was towards the w about what his situation was. when he was being helped by human jessica in libya, a heavy but almost go down. it was a really hard time and the thought of going home came to my mind. many times i saved many, you with it, and i thought that how would i pay back the huge loan that i had taken up? and i know these thoughts prevented me from returning it so that they got me because the agents at 1600000, rubies would be deducted right away from anyone who return a lot of the up regarding an out of office me the in the home, the one, so what's the way to stop this is a crack down on the human traffickers. i mean, this could be one of the strategies, but i don't think there's a solution unless countries like us gone this done like buckets on an indian states like been job brew white economic opportunities the to their people provide job

opportunities with the people. i don't think disgraces wouldn't, and you can put all the human smugglers him and drop it goes into jail, but the demand is such high that there will be more people in the business and who we've tried to capitalize on people's expeditions people's dreams to have a better life, so that i don't see any easy solution because of this crisis is javan. thank you so much for joining us. that's it for the program. thanks for watching and good by the go in the the waste from this craft is a major source of pollution, but it could become a solution because this entrepreneur is turning it into util. twin branch with lots of benefit to their teeth. they provide better installation. they captured
