Well china is being accused of forcing weaker women into pregnancy checks sterilization or abortion in a bid to slash path rates an investigation by the Associated Press has found evidence of a 4 Year Campaign in northwestern provinces chinas government denies the allegations saying theyre not based on facts and lets hear brian reports. Google always asks a shell never forget the day chinese authorities told her her 3rd child was illegal she says she was threatened told to pay a fine of more than 2. 00 and a half 1000. 00 should be locked up in an internment camp some american if they give shots and remove fetuses forcefully if they say its illegal to make you get an abortion those who didnt obey were sent to the camps now people theyre terrified of giving birth. The Associated Press investigation is based on government statistics documents and interviews with women like gold now who say they knew people jailed for having too many children many received a prison sentence of years even decades government efforts to reduce birth rates and change young are both systematic and ruthless were talking the mass forced insertion of interest or to run contraceptive devices were talking threats of internment for those who violate Birth Control policies. Zain says the brutal crackdown is part of government efforts to control the way to get people many of whom a muslim to purge them of their faith and identity. The investigation found the government had spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Birth Control and shin jang province in northwest china birthrights their decreased by 24 percent last year compared with 4 percent nationwide but. They want to eliminate us but they cant kill all of us its not possible because the world is watching so theyre doing it step by step with policies like sterilization imprisonment or separating men and women and making them work as forced laborers china says the camps are for reeducation part of what it calls a struggle against terrorism but Rights Groups accuse beijing of locking up more than a 1000000 people to brainwash and punish them those not detained a spied on. Her neighborhood felt like an open air prison she tells how she was forcibly sterilized along with about 200 other we go women. We lost a part of our body we lost our identity as women we will never be able to have children again some women say theyve been left with long term injuries a reminder of everything theyve lost brian aljazeera. Correspondent katrina. She says the population control policies described in that report. As the blind to the majority ethnic group. The government saying that theyre basically just equalizing the Family Planning policy nationwide prior to 2014 we got families were allowed to have up to 3 children but then that changed and in 2014 they were subject to the same one child policy or that changed 22020162 or 2 child policy nationwide now it is true that hand women have since been subject to the same fines if they have more than 2 children but they are certainly not foreign into any detention camps or subject to any sort of forced abortions or forced sterilizations as weve seen nor heard in this Associated Press report converse li han women actually around the country have been encouraged to have a 2nd child because of worryingly low birth rates across china now we also know that. People who are members of the week of community have been strongly encouraged not to marry other leaders but into the hand majority analysts say that this is another long term policy to dilute the population the weaker population does appear that that would be working you know in 1949 according to official figures 90 percent of the population were weak as in 2018 only 47 percent were weak as now Chinas Foreign Ministry today on monday responded to this report essentially calling the Associated Press report fake news it has always maintained that its policies in change on a National Security issue was designed to prevent terrorism and extremism and separatism that there are in response to very violent knife and bomb attacks in recent decades but as we heard just then many human Rights Groups disagree saying that many of these measures are based on race and religion and not only do they say that up to 1000000 people are held in these detention camps which the government by the way calls for occasional Training Centers they say that many of these policies are designed to also erode the muslim week of religion and culture as well as put them under very strict almost suffocating levels of surveillance. Now the u. S. President is meeting top Congressional Republicans to address reports that russia paid to taliban fighters to target american troops in afghanistan President Trump says the Intelligence Briefings that professed revealed by the New York Times never reached him because the agencies didnt think they were credible and the white house has not denied to them the briefings were prepared House Speaker nancy pelosi accuses trump of siding with russias president fashion oppression all we can speak to glenn cobb he is a former Deputy National Intelligence Officer for transnational threats with the cia he joins us now via skype from boston again thanks very much for being with us that is a White House Briefing that literally just finished and this issue unsurprisingly came up stay with me because i want to play you the press secretarys response the u. S. Receives thousands of reports a day on intelligence and they are subject to strict scrutiny while the white house does not routinely comment on alleged intelligence or internal deliberations the cia director or n. S. A. National security adviser and the chief of staff can all confirm that neither the president nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged russian intelligence has he been since free since all of these came out so let me back up and say this that there is no consensus within the Intelligence Community on these allegations in. Fact there are dissenting opinions from some in the Intelligence Community with regards to the veracity of whats being reported in the veracity of the underlying allegations continue to be evaluated then let me start by asking you whats your take on last. My take is that thats a bunch of para fodder actually there are hair splitting nondenial denials and diversion in what she said. I of course was not involved in this stream of reporting or collection but i spent my career doing this and i know how things are funneled up the chain of command of what kind of things are and something of this importance would absolutely be briefed to the white house now did it cia officer sit down and speak directly to the president say x. Y. And z. Possibly not most likely yes but would the information have been conveyed to the top of the chain of command which is the president certainly the people that mcinerney the press woman for the president cites are all or trump appointees and i dont take at face value what well a lot of this information is coming out from understandably Anonymous Sources has so how can we be sure of the accuracy of this information are you confident about. I dont have any docs something 1st the reports that all of us are receiving from inside intelligence are that there are multiple sources and that this was a valid waited and taken as a simply unknown circumstance that you ation by the chief of station in afghanistan by the special forces officers and chain of command in afghanistan and had been substantiated reported from a number of different sources primarily apparently from interrogation of detainees also from documents and cash found in a taleban base camp that was captured. And it goes from there so i dont think and we now hear that your assessment is that least one if not more americans have died as a result been killed as a result of this i dont have any dont what sir if this conversation is going on within the Intelligence Community what does that make it self then tell us whats trumps relationship like with the Intelligence Community now. Well we know that the relationship is to say it is strangers to be euphemistic and and understate the case. Since the beginning of his administration he has denigrated any information coming from the Intelligence Community that he thinks hurts him or he doesnt like politically and we know because it has been substantiated by multiple independent sources that trump himself has lied and i think were approaching 20000 times now in 3 years so the relationship is very or a very important point is what does an Intelligence Officer what does that tell us establishment do when it know of us as we all have that the most Sensitive Information given to the president can be compromise which does and has cost lawers our duty is to share of course with the commander in chief but in so doing i betray people and cost peoples lives its a terrible dilemma for the intelligence what if if as you say and as its been reported these allegations of these bounties being paid and any treatment that they did result and american deaths what then would be the typical response as recommended by the Intelligence Community to the white house. Right well the Intelligence Community does not make policy it does present assessments of options of what. The Intelligence Community believes might happen if it is done or be used on the policymaking community will. Produce a range of responses mr president the part we could do a marsh in moscow and say please dont do this we could have a press conference and denounce them and bring public pressure we could deploy more forces we could threaten the russians. Behind the scenes with a retaliation and then the president s in his Decision Making process we would make the. Riots and obviously none of that has yet happened there a former cia transit transnational threats offices speaking to us from boston really great to get your insights here on aljazeera said thank you for joining us now the florida city thats hosting the Republican National convention in august has now declared facemasks mandatory as the corona virus infections in the states now donald trump is due to be nominated again as the partys president ial candidate in the capital jacksonville where we can now speak to our White House Correspondent candy how that can be i guess the big obvious question here is that if mosques all mandatory that well we finally see President Trump wearing one. Well that was the question this put to the press secretary kaylee machinating in just the last hour she responded saying she asked the president that she said its his choice to wear a mask that we should point out the centers for Disease Control recommends it but does not require it but the bottom line is is that the White House Position and that of the president is that you should follow what the local jurisdiction requests but again that doesnt really answer the question of whether or not the president is going to follow it or whether he believes hes exempt but he said that he doesnt mind it has no problem with anyone attending his convention wearing a mask and that answered another big question because this is the 2nd choice location for the Republican National convention it was moved from North Carolina after the u. S. President was really into conflict with local leaders there over the issue of social distancing and mask wearing given the fact that they couldnt resolve the situation the president broadly move this to the state of florida the question became would he move it again now the answer appears to be that theyre going to go ahead with florida but as you pointed out this is certainly not the picture the u. S. President was looking for in fact hes trying to really show that the country is reopening that his reelection hinges on a Strong Economy of course colbert has decimated the economy here in the United States so it appears that this ruling is once again kind of a mandate anyways to where masses really complicating that sort of image the president is hoping to project at the convention that things are returning to normal when in fact they are today and cases of coke that are surging in florida and other states around the United States can be held at the White House Correspondent with all the nations thank you kimberly while there is plenty more ahead here on this news hour including a fake john for his wife and misuse of public money former french Prime Minister from small field gets a prison sentence. 2 ferries collide in bangladesh we have the latest on the sounds from your survivor.

K. Gets ready to relax more coronavirus restrictions one english city may be prevented from doing just that there are concerns about the number of infections in leicester after a recent such journey. There are certain numbers coming out here in leicester that indicate that something is going on although the data is still a bit woolly its not entirely clear what or how severe it may be certainly there has been a massive uptick in testing in leicester theres a Testing Center over there through the trees behind me and what that has revealed is that in a 2 week period up to june the 23rd some 900 almost 100 new cases were detected and thats pretty high given the population count here it led to Boris Johnson the Prime Minister talking about lesters being an area of particular concern it was much talk over the weekend about it possibly becoming the 1st part of the u. K. To go into full localised lockdown to deal with a local outbreak part of the Prime Ministers socalled whack a mole strategy to deal with local outbreaks as and when and where they occur and particularly as the rest of the country is ready to shake off much of its remaining lockdown restrictions on to june or july the 4th with the reopening of the hospitality sector now meetings are ongoing as we speak it appears rather that what theyre talking about is having less to remain within its current set of restrictions for a further 2 weeks beyond july the 4th in part to gather more data about the nature of this outbreak where it may be centralized and so on and how best to deal with it while telling the population in the repeat guidance to keep washing their hands to maintain social distance to keep contact outside the home to a minimum its a sort of guidance that people in this country been very used to hearing over the last few months but as the government has taken its finger more and more off the pressure button in recent weeks lifting the lockdown it is guidance that quite a lot of people seem to have forgotten well kazakhstan is also considering reimposing lockdown measures following a surprise and infections then the past month government ministers are drafting measures to curb the spread doubling the number of available hospital beds.

Now in the coming hour the u. N. Security council will hold a virtual session on the grand ethiopian renees on stand that project has been the source of an increasingly bitter dispute with egypt and sudan about access to the niles waters especially during times of drought if europe is Foreign Ministry has a double down on its commitment to start filling that reservoir in july whether or not they can reach a deal limit the amount of the you can them when we construct with them we didnt ask for permission filling with an operating it will be done according to the plan and we will not wait for the approval of any party to do it the position of ethiopia is clear our country respects International Law and we will not harm anyone our position is consistent and we have nothing to do with what here is by the parties it would be useful if we reach an understanding before filling with them but if this is not possible the process will take place now just a reminder ethiopia built the ground when a song on the blue nile which is the source of most of the alice waters egypt and sudan both downstream depend heavily on us and fear that their Water Supplies can be put at risk if european says the hydro power the dam will produce is essential for its economic crisis while the un secretary general has praised the African Unions recent work to bring the parties together. The secretary general welcomes the outcome of the extraordinary a u. Euro meeting over the weekend on the grand ethiopian renaissance dam and the commitment of egypt ethiopia suit and sudan to continue negotiations for the agreement secretary general commands the African Union are leading efforts to facilitate an agreement and encourages egypt ethiopia and sudan to build on the positive momentum and reach of usually beneficial. Correspondent mohammed has reported or recently from ethiopia on this issue and he joins us now here why this disappears as katie escalates and now its headed to the u. N. Security council and that setting out what address wanted. This is the last thing the options have been looking for a member that the choppiness have always been have always felt to being dragged to these negotiations they didnt even want any negotiations in the 1st place they think that the dam is an internal affair it is a matter of their own sovereignty independence and that they have given their pledge to the International Community to their neighbors as well that theyre not going to do anything thats going to hurt sudan or egypt so they think that being dragged to the u. N. Is an escalation they consider it. Issue that shouldnt even be reached in the 1st place like a level of escalation in each remember that this dam has become a rallying cry for a country that has been divided ethnically and in many ways politically its shopian some of them talk about this and the completion of it and the success of the project as the completion of the independence of each and they have been talking about the hero ism of the man who started this now with the Prime Minister in 2011 they said it took a hero to launch this historic project and now it takes another hero to completed thats why Prime Minister ahmed thinks that this is the point this is a card that either will i the make him as a Prime Minister or or undo he is hes in his government so we think that this is the the this is the project of his life now he thinks if we look at the situation in it as i said a divided country politically and in many ways and a Prime Minister who has been launching some reforms very controversial reforms economically politically and in every respect now he has this card which she is 100 percent successful for him this is the card for the model for the for the unification of the country this is the card for his success in the elections and this is the card for many its. The poor joke used 101000022 options most of them dont have electricity and many of them about a 3rd of them are under the line of poverty so they think that this is the project that is going to rescue them to save the country to bring prosperity to the country in any way in every respect each will be thinks this is a matter of life and death on the pressure is clearly mounting there speaking to us here in doha thanks very much more well for the latest now out of sudan lets cross to have a morgan shes in khartoum for us about sudan and egypt jointly pushed for this to be taken up by the Security Council despite the African Union mediation that weve seen it does seem that the vast majority of issues of already been resolved so one of the remaining sticking points here. Well weve seen weve heard from the minister of radiation and Water Resources the sudanese minister of irrigation Water Resources tweeting this morning saying that it should be African Solutions to african problems and that reaching a deal within the next 2 weeks is something that is very much possible and lets remember that the sudanese and the egyptians both wrote letters to the u. N. Security council before the African Union meeting on friday which are produced outcomes that both sides had were positive and that there were hopes that would reach a deal in the coming 2 weeks and that if you would not fill a deal now with those hopes of having if you hold its moves to fill the dam before a deal is reached with that on saturday morning when the Prime Ministers office said that they will go ahead after 2 weeks regardless of whether it is rigged or not now sedan is quite concerned about the impact of the ground if youve been renaissance them on its Water Resources specifically on the a Greek Culture project along the nile the minister of irrigation has repeatedly stated that theyre concerned about the safety of the dam and how it will impact the other dams in sudan pacifically risk there is the egypt is obviously also concerned about its fresh Water Resources and how that would impact its population more than 90 percent of the egyptians rely on the nile for fresh water so lots of concerns from both countries then in egypt today mr putin has said that they want to stick to the khartoum process to initiate the initiative of Prime Minister abdullah one do to try to bring the 3 sides together to reach a deal now whether they would be able to try to whether do they would be able to bring a deal or sign a deal within the next 2 weeks before if you feel this time is that something that relies heavily on the political will of the 3 countries well we will see what comes out of the Security Council today well continue watching this very closely for you here on out of there thank you very much heather. Now tribal leaders in libya are pledging to end a blockade on oil pushed exporting terminals in the central Coastal Region have been under a blockade by forces loyal to the ward Khalifa Haftar since january and its thought to have cost the country nearly 6000000000. 00 talks are being held to decide how and when the National Oil Corporation can restart production and exports french president emanuel mark owen has condemned the role of russian mass neris following revelations they entered and major libyan oil field last week.

This truth be dont often hear told by the people who the put them. In the news what this is you wrote on aljazeera. The new law. How again. Lets remind you about top stories this hour china is being accused of forcing the weak and minority to low at their bath raids an investigation by the Associated Press says hundreds of thousands of one and a forced to undergo pregnancy checks sterilization and abortions. The u. S. President is meeting top Congressional Republicans to address reports that russia paid to taliban fighters to target american troops in afghanistan president trying says the intelligence briefing. 1st revealed by the New York Times never reached. The u. N. Security council is about to hold a virtual session on the ground ethiopian when a song. Project has been the source of an increasingly bitter dispute with egypt and sudan if youre ethiopia is vowing to start feeling that down in 2 weeks regardless of whether a deal is reached. Now the u. N. Estimates more than 1000000 people in syria are experiencing Food Insecurity the highest level ever recorded the Security Council was briefed on the humanitarian situation there as a growing number of syrians unable to provide for themselves and their families humanitarian chief mark local has appealed for intervention so i want to be clear that their current levels of assistance that ever cross the border off of. The northwest continues to start a major humanitarian crisis the cross that needs to be scared to go further. Afraid to expand because were both rice ration and would serve at the u. N. Operation are you know were you would then be your own reasons of course nutrition so it would cause such suffering and well lets not speak to susanne a 2nd she is the director of policy at physicians for human rights and she joins us now on skype from boston susanna as we heard referred to by mr local that the Security Council did authorize these cross border aid operations but by my count theyre due to run out in about 11 days is there enough aid currently reaching people and what happens now. No its a its quite a desperate situation and there certainly is not enough aid and the cross border resolution that allows a to go in through turkey in the northwest is absolutely critical at this point there about 4000000 people many of them are internally displaced people in northwest syria that live area as well as more than one and a half 1000000 in the north east of the country 80 percent of them are women and children there are by most Aid Organization accounts 72 per cent of them are food insecure and half of them are in need of adequate shelter and of this is truly alarming and half of them have no functioning Health Facility within any reasonable distance and this is partly because for 9 years now the Syrian Government also with the aid of its russian allies have destroyed the Health System literally targeted it in the conduct of their brutal war against the opposition in syria. Has focused very much on that Health Care Infrastructure in syria and weve seen the destruction of so many hospitals and medical facilities during the context of this war how clear is that to you that they were targets. Oh its absolutely beyond a doubt clear we have documented rigorously over the last 8 or 9 years 595 individual attacks on 350 Health Facilities its clearly a strategy of the war to not only destroy Health Facilities but actually keep abreast torture and often kill Health Professionals its a blatant violation of International Humanitarian law we consider it a crime against humanity and with the distress of mation of the Health System forcing also into flight the majority of Health Professionals Health Care Workers in the area as well as bombing the facilities to basically a situation which they cannot function now with the arrival possibly or very likely of the covert 19 pandemic the situation is could be truly catastrophic i wanted to ask you exactly about that suzanne and amidst all this destruction what is actually left in order to deal with the pandemic how vulnerable are the people there i see the numbers are taking up so many. Yes well theyre tuning up slowly but as we know with this virus. Picks up exponentially so day or every few days you can see a doubling and that grows to a very large number whats alarming is that in the province where most of these internally displaced millions reside there are only 130. 00 in 5 i. C. U. Beds 95 percent of them are occupied there is very little personal protective equipment there is very little oxygen there are only 30 ventilators in the region and obviously we know from every city that has faced this pandemic thats alarmingly inadequate and definitely the people will get very sick and die without any health care well its a situation will continue monitoring very very closely suzanne a 2nd there from physicians for human rights thank you for joining us here on aljazeera. Thank you now the Indian Government has banned 59 my state chinese mobile phone applications phone companies have been ordered to block really popular apps like tic talk we chat and share it on National Security grounds the ban comes weeks after at least 20 soldiers were killed in the west fighting in 4 decades along the disputed border with china where we can speak to him venkatesh hes the director of training and research with boone fact check and he joins us now live via skype from new delhi mr venkatesh we saw a previous attempt a boycott of chinese products including smart phones as these tensions rise but a lot of people seemed not very keen to give them up and these are incredibly popular apps ticktock for instance how is the news that being received. Well theres a lot of shock i tell you what some of that been you i checked ticked off maybe an hour later and pretty much the 1st thing i saw was a person i follow who goes by the name of i am and he created a little tick talk radio saying goodbye to find me on instagram so already ticked off with full of people reacting to the news in real time almost as hugely popular its not just ticked off that other apps like you know for example that sort of the total version of tick tock its more text based its got a number of language based followers both ticked off and the other up to this huge and so use that its not just the numbers that are important when it comes to talk on the other its also the Cultural Impact they have on india especially as it comes with its popularity among people who are not urban indian and people who are beginning to find their individuality and able to express themselves with a baseball fan its a huge deal out here so i mean youre talking about the cultural aspect in many of these apps has been around for years now and in the eyes he is describing this as a matter of National Security what are they basing that on. Well its just all politics isnt it and geopolitics and strategy and india and china have had to face off in the Indian Government do. They make the unusual step of publishing the fact that theyd be 59. 00 but it only to me it makes it clear that it is a political statement more than anything else because the law under which banned the loudspeaker to secretly ban them and not say anything it was published as a press release which is that this is speaking to china and speaking to the world and is a continuation of the great game if you will. Between the ball between the 2 countries and the fight that is going on in the bottle so all whats the actual impact to think all of this on china and Chinese Companies could beijing retaliate well this isnt this is this is the thing isnt it its like a chess game its literally difficult to predict what each side is going to do next but it is not a simple matter of you do this and ill do that. Both sides would be looking many many moves ahead and we dont know and i my position is its very very difficult to predict whats going to happen yet china will probably added that it in some way that he would have thought. A few moves ahead as well and so this is and im telling perhaps off a long game and we wont be able to see the move ahead. Venkatesh from fact check speaking to us from new delhi great to get inside some thoughts and your experiences here on out of there thank you for joining. Us now the dops government hopes to raise at least a 1000000000. 00 by auctioning off bandwidth 5 jane that plaque in the past been fiercely opposed by Rights Groups suffering in spain.

But parliament has asked for more research into the possible Health Effects of 5 g. The bidding process is now in full swing judges have ruled that if risk become apparent the implementation of 5 g.

Which christine denies earlier we spoke to chico hes a professor in african and american history. They are an important part of nigerias art and Cultural Heritage. And. Nation and societies value. Examples of the great art and cultures of incest previous generations and so to have the. Set of objects that were stolen from nigeria during the civil war of 167272 have them up for sale when we should be discussing the terms for their return because that was stolen because they were illegally taking out of nigeria thats the reason i started the call for the repatriation but especially for now for not going ahead with the sale of the of james their immediate. Things that can be done which has already begun and that includes asking public collections of these objects to recognize their true provenance because right now in the museums that have been for instance theres no mention of the fact that they came out of it and i judge during the war and so the immediate thing that needs to happen is to recognize the true histories of these objects that are in western collections and then the next stage would be to enter into negotiations with the people who have them the private and public collections that have them about the average time and that will take the guise of gentlemanly if you will if they vote negotiation it might include Court Proceedings because the exportation from niger were illegal at the time that they were taken its not realistic to think that everything.
