And of the United Kingdom has set its sights on those involved in the murder of john g. As it unveiled its 1st you know National Sanctions since leaving the European Union 49 individuals and organizations have been sanctioned on of the governments new system to punish human rights offenders russian authorities implicated in the death of lawyer Sergey Magnitsky have also been targeted sanction individuals will be barred from entering the u. K. Using banks in the country. All profiting from the economy. There is a blood on the hands of the thugs that is free to once into this country to buy property on the kings road road to do their Christmas Shopping in knightsbridge or frankly to siphon dirty money to produce banks rather Financial Institutions so you go has more on the governments new scheme dominic rob made no bones about exactly what he wanted to come out of this law he put it in very strong terms indeed and its almost a sort of personal project of his hed have 1st raised this back in 2012 he is of course from human rights lawyer background as well he has consistently kept in contact with the widow of gay magnitsky. And so for him its got that personal touch with changing British Foreign policy perhaps from what has been criticized that it would be perhaps compromise in the aftermath of brecks it to try and form strategic relationships with our eyes who perhaps have huge. Problems with human rights such as saudi arabia for example but this is trying to be put the human rights aspect front and center ahead of those strategic relations with which britain can now go forward with our lives fully leaves the transition period of bricks it. Well bill browder wet twist Sergei Magnitsky and is the head of a cable and its kate Justice Campaign he joins us now via skype from london thanks very much indeed for being with us see how significant do you see this move and. Well ive been working on this campaign to get magnitsky act passed in the United Kingdom for 10 years. Weve weve fought and struggled with multiple governments both labor and conservative and after 10 years we finally had a breakthrough which was today and so i view it as a huge milestone i think it is a Huge Development way beyond the magnitsky case to. Is basically the new technology for the British Government and other governments to apply it towards atrocities and human rights abuse and why do they have done it now. Well part of it is very personal as you mention in your report dominic rabbit was someone who i met 8 years ago i explained to him the case of the evidence of what happened in syria magnitsky and he was so shocked and appalled by the story that he took it on as his personal mission and since then hes been shepherding it through multiple parliaments multiple governments until he was the foreign secretary and as the foreign secretary hes taken taken this as a personal project to bring it to fruition and so its for our respective the planets lined up perfectly and we had the one the one person who truly understood it had the power to do something about it how i think that effective is it there to sanction individuals rather than a government. Much more effective because when you sanction the government nobody cares but if you sanction individuals the people who are sanction care care and those who are afraid of being sanctioned also here and so it creates a climate of fear among human rights violators and tortures that either they have theyve lost their ability to travel and spend money in the west or they may lose it coming up and when you have personal consequences its absolutely much more effective what do you think that the reaction and retaliation from russia over this well weve already is weve already been through this a number of times there are 6 other countries that have magnitsky x. United States Canada the baltics donia latvia lithuania russia always huffs and puffs but at the end of the day what they do is they they apply sanctions to u. S. Officials for example so they can travel to russia but most of them dont want to travel to russia and they certainly dont want to keep their money at the nest for bankers their bank and so its kind of an asymmetric retaliation or actually its a symmetric retaliation that doesnt have any impact if they try to asymmetric asymmetrically retaliate theres really not that much they can do and so its. You know its something which which really puts big western countries like the u. K. U. S. And canada in the drivers seat took to mean for instance one of the the russian sanctions is sending in kids alexander estrich in close ally of the tennant head of Russias Investigative Committee and he was sanctioned already by the u. S. Understanding in 2017 how much difference as it made to him and is he one of these people who turned up in london and had property and money and stuff it. Im not sure if he has property or money in london although it wouldnt surprise me if he did but what you have to understand is this not just about alexander best reagan hes hes the most important Law Enforcement officer in in russia if if the u. K. And the u. S. Can sanction that person then anybody below him can be sanctioned and theyre all sitting there in fear that they might be sanctioned one day and that that puts the climate of fear or it creates a an environment where theyre not so comfortable doing these terrible things that they are normally do the right of really appreciate you talking to us and im just here thank you thank you and with more than 530000 people dead they coronavirus pandemic is showing no signs of slowing but the focus of attention has shifted yet again as india surges possible to become the 3rd hardest hit nation with nearly 700000 infections well the cases per capita remain low to the outbreak that isnt expected to peak for several more weeks and is now only behind the u.

We were very excited about coming here my daughters been frustrated and so were we after sitting at home for weeks so we decided to come here when we heard that it was going to open but now were disappointed. The Indian Government open the many monuments on monday for the 1st time since march but the taj mahal will remain shut because its surrounded by areas under quarantine elsewhere in the country few people wanted to venture out given the rising number of coronavirus cases delhis most famous tower the 12th century cut is usually one of the most popular tourist sites in the country with 8000. 00 visitors a day but in the 8 hours since its reopened only about 50 people have come to visit. With International Flights still suspended many who depend on tourism a worried about how theyll survive really all guides already voted on a speaking because cases are not declining theyre going up because there will be fear in the psychology of the us. About going to a new place and that is definitely has a negative impact not only in delhi would all order india. The Indian Government says its tested 10000000. 00 people so far but it still has one of the lowest tested rates per capita in the world reported cases. On the true numbers of infections that are probably in the 10s of millions of. This point in time for now its going to keep continuing to get some of the hundreds of billions of cases. And i dont really see a reason for a reprieve at this point in time because we really dont have an effective control measure.

C.

S. President over the weekend really tried to downplay this number saying that the reason that there is an increase is because theres more testing going on in that 99 percent of the people to get coronavirus well that harmless this is certainly something that the new york governor has pushed back on. The president dont be a coconspirator of covert do one simple thing acknowledge to the American People that covert exists it is a major problem its going to continue. Until we admitted each of those students to do our work poured. Well the u. S.

Has lashed out at the British Governments offer of potential citizenship to millions of people in hong kong. Says the move amounts to gracious interference in chinas internal affairs and accuse the u. K. Of making irresponsible remarks britain is among dozens of countries to criticize chinas decision to impose a harsh new security law on the territory but is also offered a new home to nearly 3000000 eligible hong kong residents with the prospect of eventual u. K. Citizenship the u. K. Side knows what hong kong is no longer under its colonial rule and the hong kong has done and is now. Youll hear has no sovereignty restriction or rights of superbugs over. After and over all over the ok government keeps making you responsible remarks on hong kong. Through its socalled 6 monthly report on. Well you also criticized the u. K. Prime minister as you turn on using technology built by the chinese firm huawei in the countrys 5 g. Network to master said china was being treated as a hostile country and Boris Johnson would have to prepare to quote bear the consequences. Well meanwhile in hong kong 3 high profile activists have appeared in court charged with organizing an illegal protest the trio included prodemocracy leader joshua wong who has denied the charges his Political Party disbanded last week after china imposed that Controversial National security law on the territory said activists would be prime targets of the law which bans any activity china considers subversive sarah clarke was outside the court and says the activists still want international support. 3 arrived at court to appear on charges of inciting taking part and organizing what was deemed an Illegal Assembly in june last year at the place headquarters and this was at the beginning of those anti extradition antigovernment protests that joshua won and ivan lamb they pleaded not guilty to all those charges i discharge pleaded guilty to 2 of them inciting and knowingly taking part of the 3 valid to continue their fight for democracy in hong kong but in light of the introduction of the new National Security laws the big knowledge they face an uphill battle and theyve called on the International Community to help free up us. About our future with a friend of life sentence and also big target by beijing but we also encourage the Global Community to let our voice being heard in the world we still have to let the world to know that now its time to stand before and now is the time for home foremost keep our momentum joshi along with the face of the occupier prodemocracy movement back in 2014 and has long been a target or political targeted by china and Hong Kong Government hes told the media he expects to be pursued under these new National Security laws and could be extradited to china but he says he want to kowtow to beijing is already had his books removed from government libraries in hong kong but he says he wont be silenced as well. And the Hong Kong Court has denied bail to the 1st person charged under the new National Security law 23 year old tom young kid is accused of driving his motorcycle into Police Officers during a protest last week wounding 3 people he was holding a banner that read liberate hong kong revolution of our time is a slogan that is now banned by the government for inciting separatism and subversion. Steve saying is the director of the China Institute at so Us University of london he joins me now over skype from knocking him thanks for being with us just to go back to the message from the ambassador to the u. K. The Chinese Ambassador the u. K. Talking about gross interference and irresponsible remarks over the u. K. s attitude on hong kong how angry does that suggest china is. Well the Chinese Government does not want the u. K. To do anything about hong kong at all and i think that really is what the message is about i dont think so much that it is because the Chinese Government is angry but that it fused that it can. For to your case to back off and how far is the u. K. Government fed to go over this i mean for example its got the fact that his b. C. Which is a u. K. Headquartered banker in Huge International one has effectively backed china over the new security law what is the government the u. K. Government for example do about h. S. B. C. Well probably not much and there is no reason why the British Government would be trying to punish a British Company operating in hong kong because that company is coming under chinese pressure. For the u. K. To sanction a British Company because of the actions of the Chinese Government seems to be putting the cart before the horse the issue is with the way how the Chinese Government feels that it can bully the u. K. Which is citizens and British Companies so how realistic is it for the u. K. To stand up to china now that its no longer none of the u. K. Is no longer part of a of the wider European Union bloc. Well the u. K. Still has a lot of scope to work with and eyes including the socalled 5 eyes the Angle American countries and the e. U. And other members of the g 7. They all collectively take a common stand then it will be much more difficult for the Chinese Government is true pick on any one of them and force them to submit and in terms of what all this pressure is doing perfectly good i mean what about china does it does it view hong kong as something that can and the specifics s. And the kind of status of hong kong or something it can sacrifice i dont think the Chinese Government is intending to destroy hong kong what happened was that last year she jinping the leader of china make a mistake over hong kong and because hes the strong man in china she can never mr having made a mistake so he has to resort to repressive measures in kong i think he expects people in hong kong to submit and the rest of the world to go along with it since we are now all dependent on china and we have been bought load by 19 tell me over just a return to the u. K. Ship with china on the matter of huawei how much of the change of heart that we think there is on her way to do with the difficulties caused by u. S. Sanctions and how much of it to do with the kind of real concerns about possible risks to National Security i think the us angle is a real one in terms of the capacity of all the way as a company to provide that level of security did they have trauma sed. The way how i think the Chinese Ambassador has spoken about. Should be raising questions as to whether is a company that we should be doing business with a private company that enjoys the support and of wages of the capacity of a near superpower like china which suggests that that company is not just a normal private company. You would not expect the United States for example to go all the way to back up a company like say apple or google steve saying thank you very much indeed thank you. Welcome. Including the show must go on how the u. K. Government is making sure its not yet curtains for the countries locked down.

Well shell face a judge at a federal court in manhattan later this week could be as early as thursday maybe friday it will be her arraignment but also will be a bail hearing the prosecutors have already said that they are going to argue very vehemently that her bail should be denied because they say she is a very strong flight risk prosecutors say she has 3 passports and access to more than 10000000. 00 in various Bank Accounts around the world that are linked to her so prosecutors are going to be arguing that she remain in jail as this process as this Legal Process goes forward this case going to be watched very closely because you got to remember also that. Prince andrew was linked to her theres a photograph of Prince Andrew with a young woman more than 15 years ago with Elaine Maxwell in the photograph that led to all sorts of speculation the woman a young woman in the photograph says that the lane maxwell trafficked or that something Elaine Maxwell denies Prince Andrew denies any wrongdoing as well but certainly if this case goes to trial theres going to be a lot at stake already prosecutors said on friday of last week they welcome Prince Andrews cooperation in the investigation and it goes as it goes forward so far they say he has failed to do so gabriel is going to thank you very much.

Millions of afghans arent able to see their countrys Cultural Treasures precious items like some of the worlds earliest statues of buddha can only be seen in major museums now afghan teaches and joined forces with historians at the university of chicago to make the engine more accessible john hendren explains.
