Landslides we look at the scale of the salvage mission. Here evidence emerges of chinas repression of more than a 1000000.

As dawn broke hong kong to a new Political Landscape altered 70 percent of voters cast their ballots in sundays district Council Elections the prodemocracy party secured a Record Number of seats a lot of people actually sacrificed a lot of the base of our lot in the last 6 months. 2 to actually get this result and i think people are very. United and. To actually try to win something joshua long was disqualified for running but his party claimed victory in his electorate on seating the incumbent council a remarkable achievement in that this election. Its the efforts of all hong kong especially. Protester a hotline for lying theres the prey the price span the time or even sacrifice in the protest movement until now the probation parties held the majority in the District Councils but anger against the government eroded their support theyve apologized to the public for misreading the vote was aligned to the post camp say its a nightmarish result and the citys government will need to reassess the peoples demands have spoken quite loudly and clearly havent so i believe what we now do is such a. Major demand somewhere that any of them can be dealt with but the more satisfactory than before the district Council Elections are traditionally and on a vengeful poll but after 6 months of antigovernment demonstrations and increasing violence this election was considered a barometer of public support for the protesters this is a win for the protesters that could be a point for them to say weve weve i reference on the street have converted into a tangible political outcome and this is a Good Opportunity to step back and take stock and and think about what next for the protest movement so it may see a period of relative calm for hong kong after a very turbulent 6 months the prodemocracy movement celebrated their victory on monday but some protests is braley to show their support to those who are still holed up inside the Polytechnic University for more than a week the District Council vote comes ahead of the midst of Council Election next year sundays record turnout is considered a message from voters to reopen the discussion on the citys political reform the government now has 10 months to make changes before voters go to the polls once again sarah aljazeera hong kong. Well Andrew Thomas has been gauging reaction in beijing. But its playing out so very quietly you would barely know there had been any elections in hong kong if you as i am in beijing the Foreign Ministry held its Daily Briefing a couple of hours ago now and they were asked on 2 occasions a spokesperson was about what these results mean and both times the Spokes Person dodged the question he talked about how the priority of hong kong was restoring order how it was important to get stability in that place in china stressed again how it was part of china and how foreign powers to stay out of it but asked why its about what results mean he refused to engage in that part of the question and the media likewise in the run up to these elections in Hong Kong Chinas official media was full of them and this is the monday edition of china daily the english language official paper turn out sets record in hong kong district voting it says that was printed on sunday night of course now we know the results youd expect this newspaper to be all over those results but the website mentions nothing about the results while newspapers from the moment in paris to the times of india to be say to us are talking a lot about these results nothing at school in the official media that in a sense says we need to know the results themselves are embarrassing theyre largely being ignored here now the israel palestine director for Human Rights Watch care is due to be deported from israel within the coming hours earlier this month Israel Supreme Court approved the governments decision to expel him she carries a u. S. Citizen and has been accused of supporting a Boycott Campaign of Israeli Occupation and israeli law from 2017 balls entry to people who publicly support a boycott. Despite my deportation today the Israeli Government has failed to muzzle Human Rights Watch or the Human Rights Movement this case shines a light on the reality we face today as we stand in this room we are near 53.

Central role in terms of flagging up what human rights abuses that are carried out by Israeli Occupation particularly way you are and then garza what will Human Rights Watch do now does it mean that that voice has been silenced. So im a shack and hes the israel palestine director of Human Rights Watch he says hes going to continue his role even though hes asked to be deported from the country he said he will be working from abroad although that would probably limit their work but that human rights directors who spoke at the conference said that they will even double up their work to make sure that checkers the british and that doesnt go unnoticed embiid doesnt eliminate human rights defenders work we heard from day doctors who were in the press conference who said that this is the 1st time for a country that considers itself a western democracy to do poor to Human Rights WatchStaff Members so it is seen as kind of a chance to highlight. Israeli actions against human rights defenders and palestinians weve heard from palestinian officials who say that this is a continuation of a policy to silence those who speak against israels actions in the occupied territory now we are seeing are leaving the press Conference Room heading to the bin gorean airport in tel aviv where hes actually summing up one year and a half of the legal work to try to battle this really governments decision to deport him or i did abraham live from ramallah thank you.

Found a Series Investigative unit has discovered how the secret side of diplomatic passports has helped to keep some caribbean politicians in power versus in dominick well version of general election next month batters Deborah Davis ripples the result may be influenced by payments from wealthy foreigners who want the privileges of becoming an ambassador. This is only the serafin the former Prime Minister of germany kept using concealed cameras we film him willing to broker a deal for a rich businessmen living in asia i think also you know we live in the area. He says the businessman would then be made an ambassador for dominique and despite having no connection to the country. Serafin says the money will go to dominique his current Prime Minister receive l. Skerritt to help win a 4th term in power. By the us amounts to go out. To me gently this is the. Way to go as i read. Fly in atlanta. Last week police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a crowd demanding an end to what they say is widespread vote rigging our investigation reveals how many rainy and and a resume on fred bought his dominique an embassy the ship he helped fund Prime Minister skerritt selection when 5 years ago paying for rallies t. Shirts and printing the partys manifesto mon freds foreign Business Partner witness the deals we dont use the word bribe well just use the word a token of appreciation but definitely without that money he would not have got his diplomatic passport manfredi hope the possible gave him diplomatic immunity it didnt work hes just been sentenced in iran to 20 years for investment. Our investigation has found that 6 caribbean states have appointed dozens of foreigners to be their ambassadors around the world while many are respected Business Leaders several have been exposed as criminals. American eric restante became an ambassador for grenada hes alleged to have filmed grenadas Prime MinisterKeith Mitchell accepting cash in a briefcase the rest said it was half a 1000000. 00 Keith Mitchell denied any wrongdoing and said he was only paid 15000. 00 the travel expenses the video has not be made public the americans kept it when they jailed rest on a fraud. All of a serafin it demanded a fee for arranging a dominique ambassadorship. For both serafin and Prime Minister skerritt later denied any discussion about a diplomatic passport skerritt denied any wrongdoing and said any payments will Legal Campaign contributions. Foreign took to Deborah Davis now whos behind that report and deborah i was just wondering if these. Diplomatic possible for sale do not bring with them diplomatic immunity what is it it for the businessmen who wants to have the status of ambassador of a tiny Little Island like dominique or in the caribbean what that what benefits do they derive from that well i think the 1st thing is that a lot of them hope that it will bring diplomatic immunity and weve only found out about them when it has failed and theyve been caught but if youre involved in Financial CrimeMoney Laundering bribery corruption which is the main kind of crime that weve uncovered then as an ambassador your home your embassy cant be searched you can travel the world very easily on your diplomatic passport the diplomatic baggage can be searched so in every sense being an ambassador is a privilege if you are a financial criminal right and then looking conversely on the politicians the politicians in the 6 caribbean nations that youve identified they are receiving funds from from outside as is that illegal in dominic and the other caribbean nations that youve identified. Well the 1st thing that i should say is obviously the politicians concerned i will strongly denied any wrongdoing but what our investigation has shown is that some of these people live appointed ambassadors say theyve made large payments in cash anything up to a 1000000 in u. S. Dollars and thats not money thats going into the u. S. Straight into the National Treasury thats money which they say the politicians have used to fund their election campaigns and theyve not been declared openly so in that sense they may contravene local laws in the country but in many ways what youre doing is youre subverting the democracy because youre giving one party a huge advantage based on in effect a secret slush fund of money and the refuse to speculate a little bit but do you think that this kind of transaction is limited to kara being in a smooth caribbean countries or do you think that dismiss practice is more widespread internationally. Well we focused on 6 caribbean states because thats where we were initially hearing cases from we do know that ambassadorships have allegedly been sold by other countries to 3 countries in africa. And one of the things we know is that the sale of diplomatic passports grows out of a practice that a lot of caribbean and European Countries do which is the legal sale of citizenship by investment and thats where foreigners quite legally pay 250000 or so into a country and they get a passport and what we know is some of the agents who are selling these passports then get as it were a platinum upgrade and are given a diplomatic passport so and its a trade that is carried on very quietly these are they should be the most public appointments of all and yet a lot of these ambassadors are secret appointments all right Deborah Davis thank you very much indeed we look forward to seeing the full program which is called diplomats for sale its on air at this time here at out is there a dont miss it im really interesting much the highly classified Chinese Government documents are giving an insight into the mass attention of ethnic minorities most of them muslim weakens Rights Groups estimate that more than a 1000000 people have been locked up in camps in the shin jan region finta monahan reports. The Chinese Government says camps such as this machine jiang region are centers for education and Vocational Training documents obtained and verified by the International Consortium of investigative journalists reveal they in fact operate as extrajudicial internment camps for the compulsory indoctrination of ethnic minorities mostly muslims. The documents detail how police use an Artificial Intelligence driven data system to select who will be detained once inside the camps every aspect of their life is controlled from frequency of toilet use and haircuts to visits from loved ones inmates the documents say are ultimately judged on ideological transformation study and training and compliance with discipline and order. In the classes they would tell us that we were poisoned by religion that islam is an Infectious Disease that it came from abroad that if they needed to be a religion in china that it must be put is him and we should not believe in any other religion human rights lawyers say the documents confirm what many have suspected about the camps but theres a lot of these camps you know where you get more points for being indoctrinated with you know the sort of central Chinese Communist propaganda and removing interesting youre honest. Its the most orwellian thing that ever seemed or as human rights. Chinese government has rejected leaked documents as fake news. Documents when youre talking about is a. Fabrication if you want to have a document about this but cheney had a consensus we have many documents we have a 7 papers published International Legal experts say in term and camps are a violation of chinas laws and constitution but the Chinese Government has long stood defiant against foreign criticism vinton meaghan aljazeera.
