A resolution but it will be published as an official document of the Uns Human Rights Council activists say its a good sign but chinas government has long stood defiant against foreign criticism katia locus of the young aljazeera is going to talk on and weigh in hey whos joining us live from beijing so has there been any response from the Chinese Government yet way. Yes well we just a short time ago heard from the ministry of Foreign Affairs in a regular daily Media Briefing the spokesman predictably i guess was dismissive of this letter signed by 22 countries saying it was an attempt to politicize the issue of human rights the spokesman also said that this was a domestic affair and it was not up to anyone outside of china to comment on the situation in genk he also pointed out that there have been no terrorist attacks in the area for the past 2 years evidence he says that this is working remembering that the government in china says these are not the Tension Centers theyre vocational schools with one of the main aims being to stamp out extremism and terrorism and he points to the fact that there have been no terrorist attacks in the past 2 years in that area as evidence that the system is indeed working so china defiant as ever on this issue wayne is it likely then that they will give inspectors the main in full access to the camps that the netter is asking for. Yes with a spokesman from the ministry of Foreign Affairs also responded to that request saying that they have in the past arranged trips to the area to see the facilities firsthand for media and socalled experts diplomats and they are saying that what those troops reported the people who were on those troops reported was very different to what is alleged in war as portrayed in what the ministry of Foreign Affairs says is the out west in media so it is saying that of course these sorts of things can happen again in the future but i think that the important thing there is meaningful access those troops that we mentioned and presumably any troops that would be arranged in the future are very much controlled by the government very much controlled by the Security Forces so anything that the people see on those trips very much is what the government here in beijing wants the outside world to see so the government could well grant that request that inspectors experts be allowed back in there to see those trips whether or not to see those facilities rather whether or not it is meaningful is another question they also point out that they have twice invited the United Nations Human Rights Agency to visit the area to see the facilities and it hopes it says that the u. N. Human Rights Agency will take up that invitation when thank you very much for that that is wayne has the latest live in beijing.

Well those are the headlines on aljazeera do stay with us the stream is coming up next thank you for watching. To aljazeera. Problems and besides the instability is corruption we listen. To are pushing the United States and President Trump into conflict we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter does iraq. Fire for me ok im really could be here in the stream today 3 segments from libya we will look at the battle for tripoli show ideas for ending the countrys war and hear about migrants caught in the countrys conflict as always you can take part in our conversation send us your thoughts via twitter or in our live you tube chat. Why all detained migrants being killed in libya questions still surrounding july the 3rd air attack in a tripoli that destroyed a Migrant Detention Center and killed at least 50 detainees and wounded 130 others a u. N. Special envoy to libya said that the attack could constitute a war crime the incident is believed to be one of the most fatal cases a civilian deaths since april when rebel forces led by general Khalifa Haftar launched a military offensive to seize the capital city have a listen to what u. S. Spokesperson Charlie Yaxley had to say about the attack on migrants this was a despicable tragedy that never should have happened we warned about the situation of the detainees into jewelry just 2 months ago and we called for them to be evacuated after a similar strike badly damaged the roof of the center and injured 2 of the detainees sadly they were not evacuated and 50 of the detainees who have paid the price with their lives we need now is a significant shift in approach the clashes continue. And there remain some 3800 people in Detention Centers at risk of being caught up in the violence we need in hard search and rescue capacity and renewed efforts to make sure that nobody no refugee is returned to libya and come and be considered to have a safety at this time the tragic events of the last week of. It with us to talk about this from tunis sam turner he had the Libyan Mission for Doctors Without Borders or m. S. F. And istanbul that of them called that i said to a Senior Writer with the libya observer and in rome italy claudia a Senior Analyst with the International Crisis Group Welcome to the stream all of you i want to start with our community and someone in particular who says theyre in so this is and open native and the people behind this account say the fischel page of refugees in libya and suffering and opened their breaks the migrants into to shelter where they were bombed by an airstrike sharing this picture with us today they got out of the euro because the u. N. H. C. R. Is unable to save or evacuate them and still many are waiting for evacuation and assistance and of course we heard what the u. N. H. C. R. Spokesperson had to say at the beginning of this show but sam what do we know about this attack. What we know is is quite simply the that it represents an atrocious attack on civilians no no matter who they are but in this case it was civilians who were trapped who were locked into a detention facility leading to such an extraordinary and immediate loss of life all of we believe up to 60 people who were killed in this attack on the Detention Center where migrants refugees and Asylum Seekers were being held im coming to months after a similar strike on the same Detention Center compound that was referenced by charlie from from u. N. H. C. R. I was actually going to dura Detention Center the day busy after the Previous Strike and i went into that cell where the shrapnel torn through the roof and issued piece of metal had bounced up the ground just a meter away from where baby was sleeping on a mattress and the women were terrified and i can only imagine the level of fear and desperation now felt by all those refugees migrants who continue to be trapped in Detention Centers in libya and until whom there are really no options at the cottage you want to explain why where the stench and sense of whats become a target. Actually theres now sublimation why argue that the deal only explanation that i can say is the. Let me say the madness of the attack on the attackers because like you know shortly before one day before the attack after hours forces that his folks men they said were going to be carrying out Precision Air strikes on that target and in tripoli and the day after the airstrike at the Migrant Center and the day after the Migrant Center was helped by airstrike the disposed men i met and married said that we did that that the air. We carried out the airstrike on on our dime on which is another name for Detention Center and he said you know this was like an absolute confession and admission of the tag there was no action or no contamination and you know that the u. N. Security council failed to condemn the the attack because of the u. S. You know the reaction and then they condemned the attack but they didnt condemn the people who carried out the attack so this is actually a failure on many levels and thats why its happening as have been interested billions liggins or the migrants both of them are civilians but the did the tragedy here is that because the civilians who are trapped and have nowhere to go they are forced to be in that place they cant run away they can go freely around the area thats the only thing. That i feel like i i think they feel if you live far a little bit more of context. Go ahead go in the ceiling give us again i have i think we need a little bit more context because we have to place this attack within an ongoing war that is happening since you know the beginning of april between courses of the Libyan National army headed by a hostile are against the forces of the trip and you went back to government and its since april that weve been seeing day the airstrikes on tripoli and on various parts of tripoli mainly targeting the literally relations or allegedly buildings and infrastructure believed to be under the control of the military factions from the Opposing Side now this attack on the tissue or the Tension Center according to the l a nay was. A mistake they claim they were attacking a weapons depot over an armed group in the nearby area it is this time that there is an armed group based in that part of latin neighboring this has told you a Detention Center and the previous air attacks that my colleagues were referring to the one that happened 2 months ago did appear to have targets one was the use to. Go to impose those weapons because well i want to know you say im just saying to me if al and i and Libyan National army we also have community wanting to being part of this conversation as well said how tight would just come back to just a moment really kind of a quality on your point about this being part of an ongoing war and so of course this started much of this started with the advance towards tripoli by honey funhouse but i want to share the viewpoint from a journalist sally hayden who makes that same point and says this is not unique in itself and this is part of a chain of other things that weve seen so have a listen to what sally told the stream. The number of deaths in 2 sure the latest in a line of deaths in Detention Centers to scare and. Witnesses told me that 2 refugees who tried to escape at the end of june were shot and killed by guards. For more ive seen there is no responsibility for any of these to at least a e. U. The us and theyve been a target nobodys adding up the number of people dying in detention and also there doesnt really seem to be much of an attempt to tell the families of the people who die. So sam do you want to take that on because she says there seems to be a lack of responsibility claims on the either side. Absolutely and sally is completely right to to bring up the the situation in other dissensions senses not only busy in conflict related deaths where we have seen a horrific attack on custer being the sure in in late april where an armed group stormed a Detention Center where over 800 people were being were being held we know that in that incident several people were killed and up to 20 others injured but these deaths in Detention Centers are not just confined to Armed Conflict and we have seen numerous deaths in Detention Centers from preventable causes due to the lack of provision of medical services and other extremely poor conditions of detention themselves i mean as as we currently stand the the war in tripoli has had a horrendous effect on all of the civilians who are living in tripoli and the surrounding areas but the w. H. O. The World Health Organization figures suggest that they can confirm around a 160000000000 deaths since the start of this conflict now we know for certain that around 60 of those deaths are amongst refugees and migrants in Detention Centers this conflict is happening that disproportionate impact on on this population and yet its all just part of a much Bigger Picture study im hinted at earlier so i want to push on just a little bit to the battle for tripoli more than a 1000 people have been killed since april as 2 rival coalitions fight for control over the capital city a libya has been in conflict since the ousting of Moammar Gadhafi and 2011 and currently the country has 2 rival governments in tripoli a un recognized government of National Accord which received support from turkey and qatar and in libyas east road commander heidi for have tattered and his self declared Libyan National army theyve been advancing on tripoli with a ground an air offensive backed by the u. A. E. Side. Arabia and egypt abuses have allegedly been committed by both sides well the World Health Organization said on tuesday that 106 civilians have been killed in the fighting so have a listen to general hes the operations spokesman for the self declared Libyan National army. And the instructions issued by the commander in chief of our forces are not to target any governmental private or Public Institutions these institutions belong to citizens or belong to the state they cannot be targeted because we care about it we are responsible army and disciplined force which cares about the interest of the country. So you heard what he had to say there but i want to share what this means for many members of our audience in libya this is no one who says this war penetrates into everyones life no matter how much we resist succumbing to its format ability she goes on to say where i live its not considered close to the heavy fighting but they make sure to remind me of the war every now and then by those loud rumbles and boom the sound of sirens never fails to make your heart cringe as you realize that your fellow libyans are losing their lives for no good reason the smell of death is sorted to the tolls keep getting higher as the stakes do to what has this conflict in this push towards libya towards tripoli rather of them that are meant for your average resident actually the residents are directly impacted by this you know fighting because. Of everything but lets talk about the placement and the 1st place this writing since. I was placed so far over 100000 people more of course and these people are spread them around
