his robert schellenberg . he was given a 15 year jail term in 2018, but he was then sentenced to death 2 months later, after a top chinese tech executive mang, one job was arrested in canada. in relation to charges in the us. canada as ambassador to china says it's no coincidence. the verdict has been handed down. bombings, extradition trial is ongoing life now to paging and correspondent there katrina, you. katrina, it does seem very, very coincidental that these 2 legal cases separated by thousands of miles have come together at the same time that tried they during has denied any links, but of course it's hard to ignore the impact that these case with my wonder seems to have had on robert schellenberg not only his case, but the case of 2 other canadians, one also who is receiving his verdict this week. michael staffel. now robert schellenberg can appeal his case one more time to the highest court. the people's court visit extremely unlikely that a sentence will be changed. 99 percent of all criminal cases he

no schellenberg is not the only canadian who is expected to receive his verdict this week. another canadian michael babble who was try was trying in a separate case under espionage charges is also expected to receive his verdict. now there's a very strong political element to both of the cases right now. the relationship between china and canada is that an old time lower and it was worse. and the earlier this year, when the canadian government described the treatment of the week muslim population, and she's young as genocide. and of course, a major point of contention is the rest of quality executive, mon wander, was detained in canada and december 2018. and she's currently facing court in canada, fighting expedition to the us. now, beijing denies that there's any link between monks case and the case of these canadians, but does seem to be appear to be an impact on the cases. for example, schellenberg in 2018 who was actually originally sentenced to 15 years in prison. but after long the arrest this he was retried and his sentence was changed to execution. and shortly after

roberts schellenberg was given a 15 year jail term in 2018, but he was re sentence to death. 2 months later, after top chinese tech executive mang one, joe was arrested in canada in relation to charges in the us. canada ambassador to china says it is no coincidence. this verdict is out while men's extradition trial is ongoing. katrina, you has more from beijing. he can appeal one last time to try his highest court. that's the people supreme court, but it's very unlikely that he will be able to reverse this death sentence. in china. 99 percent of all criminal cases are found guilty, and beijing has an a tourist lee hard stance when it comes to any drug related crime. but there is a very important political dimension to all this as well. china, in canada, the bilateral relationship has reached an all time law. and it was, wasn't earlier this year when the canadian government described the treatment of the muslim league of population. and she's young as genocide by the chinese government. now of course, the main sticking point, the main point of contention between beijing and auto is the

for example, schellenberg in 2018. he was actually originally sentenced to 15 years in prison, but after among the arrest this he was retried and his sentence was changed to execution. and shortly after long was detained in december 2018. 2 other canadians, michael stubble and michael, covered with then arrested. and subsequently charged on the espionage now doors to they were trial earlier this year. and their case has really been shrouded in a lower secrecy when they were trial. canadian diplomats were not able to enter the court room. they were provided with very little access to the lawyers ahead of time . and if they are found guilty, they could face very lengthy prison sentences themselves. reese's prime minister has apologized for not doing enough to tackle devastating fire as across the country. some of the worst on the island of that's where hundreds of homes have been lost and thousands of people evacuated. greek officials, a blame climate change for the record breaking heat wave, fueling the fires the critic

now paging denies that these cases all linked, but the canadian government has described schellenberg just sentence as arbitrary. and it's really important to look here at the timing as well. schellenberg was arrested 1st in 2014, but in 2018. he was initially sentenced to 15 years in prison, but shortly after among wonders rest, he was hurriedly re trial. and then we saw the subsequent change in his sentence to execution. with the news, our life from london still ahead on the program born to be while the biggest crowds in years ignore the rising convent cases to join us motorcycle radi. the highly infectious virus that just claimed it 1st life in west africa. how the w h o suggests that should be contained. and in sport we hear from one of the n b a's often coming stars off the sign, a big money contract extension. ah hello, thank you for turning in. we could very well be dealing with some historic heats that cross spain in the days to come cordova, the $43.00 on wednesday. but i want to show you the 3 day forecast. we could match or break our august all time temperature record in co
