Im sorry kelly walking to the program prodemocracy supporters in hong kong are celebrating. After securing a landslide victory in municipal elections the prodemocracy camp has won almost 390. 00 Council Seats compared to less than 60 for pro beijing parties and now controls a majority of councils in the City Residents turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots in an election widely seen as a referendum on the prodemocracy movement after nearly 6 months of protests. Another seat for the prodemocracy camp never the full has it won so many in a District Council election kelvin lim one of the witness he says voters wanted to make their voices heard after seeing the heavy handed tactics of the hong kong police. Not happy with how they do with. Police brutality is actually. I think. People should. Receive a. Prodemocracy vote has already started to celebrate early in the night when it became clear that some of the probating had weights had lost their seats activists had urged people to get out and cast their ballots 70 percent of answered the pilot and if there are more hong kong is casting their ballots it means that back to democracy so if this years voter turnout is higher than the previous election i think thats quite positive. The polls to elect District Council they have little political power controlling some spending and issues like recycling and Public Health hong kongs District Councils have long been dominated by to probating establishment this time and for the 1st time the scales have tipped decisively in favor of the prodemocracy movement. Have you correspondent phil is standing by live for us now in Hong Kong Charlotte stunning results here how are Home Congress reacting. Sara most people that weve spoken to say that they are absolutely astonished by the results from last night people on both sides not expecting this kind of a landslide victory for the prodemocracy camp just to be clear in these District Council 2 elections theyve previously been dominated by pro establishment figures what weve seen now is a number of heavyweights in the pro savage when camps losing their seats on the pro Democracy Council is now taking on an overwhelming majority of the District Councils here in hong kong now we at the moment are outside the university here where a siege has been ongoing for over a week now University Students still holed up inside that university for fear of coming out where we are in one of their fast axes needy elected councilors some prodemocratic because a coming out to show their support for those students weve also seen images of celebrations taking place in central in hong kong as celebrating really is what is considered a remarkable victory for the Pro Democracy Movement today for their part pro stablish mint figures are licking their wounds a little bit weve seen the chairwoman of the da be praised beijing policy offering her resignation that hasnt been accepted kerry lamb the chief executive also coming out giving a statement saying that she will listen humbly to the results of this votes ass and what has taken place here in hong kong today seen as a referendum on this almost 6 month protest movement so ultimately then charlotte what does this mean for the protest movement because it is the satisfy the demands of these prodemocracy protesters what they have likely been looking for we going to see them back out on the streets this week. What weve been hearing over and over again over the last almost 6 months of these protests when weve been on the streets is that they would like that 5 to mons and that saying please do universal suffrage in an independent investigation into the Police Handling all of these protests on the street now authorities here in hong kong have so far refused to give in fact that any of the demand they have the extradition bill which did spot these protests but of course as we know theyve moved into something much much broader now and. The more democracies the result reaction from authorities here in hong kong will be crucial people that weve spoken to legislators and from the democratic have that weve spoken to say they now need to walk out exactly how to use that platform within the District Council to try and influence what happens Going Forward perhaps try and keep these. Are 3. Weeks. Charlie tells until in hong kong thank you charlotte. Leaked to Chinese Government documents have revealed details about the massed attention of weaker muslims at least a 1000000 people from the Minority Group are believed to be held in internment camps a group of investigative journalists has published the papers which contradict chinas claims that the camps are voluntary education facilities now in response the Chinese Embassy in britain called people in the camps trainees and said that their personal freedom was fully guaranteed. These confidential Chinese Government documents lay bare the control and repression that reign in the internment camps and province at least a 1000000 muslims are thought to be detained in the camps. These are just him utter shit into this systematic internment of an entire ethnic and religious minority this is really something that the world has not got to grips with yet. Experts believe there are more than 1000 such camps the key least documents lays out how they are to be run it states the inmates answer loud any contact with the outside world owning a mobile phone is strictly said that in the camps should be under constant and comprehensive Video Surveillance not a single corner should be left on watched preventing escape is a top priority but in conditions in these camps are like prisons the aim is to completely control every 2nd of a persons life its not just about locking them up the aim is to have a deep psychological impact on their identity in. Beijing has always described the camps as voluntary reeducation facilities. Leaked documents confirm that is not the case. Genocide is probably the most accurate way to describe whats happening there. The documents now being called the china cables were tainted by the International Consortium of journalists. And joining me now is Mathias Bollinger in beijing who has reported about the camps for mathias what is the meaning and the impact of these leaks. Well as weve just heard in this piece that you just played this is a confirmation that these camps are prison like facilities one example are the details about how to prevent an escape from these internment camps the Chinese Government has set out that people were there voluntarily of course journalists who have traveled there including myself we have seen these watchtowers we have seen the high walls we have seen the barbed wires and the armed guards and it was quite clear that people are not held evelyn terribly but by force but this is a confirmation it also gives us some clout about what how people are singled out for detention including about foreign nationals who return to visit their families foreign nationals of we could descend who were then whose data was then transferred to the local authorities so they could detain and in turn them and last but not least we see names on these papers that gives us an idea on which officials are behind this system of mosty tension and doc could play an Important Role for example when it comes to sanctions that are being discussed from time to time against those who are behind this mosque internment so much here is what is going on inside of these camps. What we know from testimonies from former inmates who were able to flee the region is that prisoners are held there for. Months and years and they have to read from party documents that they have to sing songs praising the communist party for hours and hours we have accounts of torture and other atrocities against these inmates and we. We have also reports that some of these inmates how forced to work in factories forced labor is part of this detention system what is the background mathias when were talking about this relationship between china and the weavers phillis and. Singe on the homeland off the week is has been. A region of unrest since the communist party took control of it in the 1940 s. Muslim majority at the time the majority of the region was weaker now the ethnic balance has shifted a little bit because they are still the biggest groups but not the majority anymore in this region there have been. Independence among the weaker population there have also been terrorist attacks in the region since the 990 s. And weve had reports about radical Islamist Groups in the region although we have Little Information on how big this movement was and the house being since then and intense crackdown on the majority population and on these tendencies to. Of independence or on religious activities at that house being that has become more intense during the last. 2 or 3 years since 2000 since 17 we have information about these mosques detentions that my may affect up to 20 percent of the Adult Population of the adult greek a population mathias village i thank you so much for your reporting from beijing. And lets get a quick check now on some other stories making news around the world pope francis has celebrated mass in tokyo as part of her for his 4 day visit to japan earlier he met victims of the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear disaster and voiced concern over jape japans continued reliance on nuclear power. Former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced that he is running for president of the United States the former republican who became a democrat just last year and is one of the richest people in the world hell 1st have to beat other Democratic Candidates jostling to go up against President Donald Trump and 2020 and several people are injured in lebanon when supporters of the militant Group Hezbollah attacked an entity exboyfriend she says the governments efforts to better protect women are not enough. But 1st its to europe why where people are waiting for the results of sundays president ial runoff after the Electoral Court so the result was too close to call in order to recount luis power from the center right National Party has already declared victory earlier of brazil tsk gave him a narrow lead over Danielle Martinez of the Ruling Center left broad front party. Banksias supporters of luis. They had to go home without an official result. Held the lead in opinion polls right up to the vote after putting together a coalition that had won recent legislative elections. We have achieved some failing over a short time but there were many skeptics we had to get 5 parties to agree on a broad range of issues with diversity with tolerance committing the people of europe to a single strategy i met in the notice of the watchers you know. That is a 46 year old lawyer and former senator from a political dynasty his father was also president in addition to promising to fight crime he ran on a platform of cutting deficits and taxes but many voters here have modest expectations. Im hoping for a little change just a little changes but not big changes from you know now. Daniel martinez is broad front has governed since 2005 in the beginning they raise standards of living and brought many out of poverty but in recent years unemployment and inflation went up and so did crime rates for some voters that was what mattered. That i had to move because they were home 3 times a 2nd security has always been this yr. With the most opinion polls predicting he would lose broad front candidate Danielle Martinez was philosophical. You have to be happy in life if youre sure about what youre doing just do it but you also have to enjoy the beautiful things in life not only politics as family would can a lot of the things i for me. Whoever wins the recount will have to deliver but not too much in a country long seen as a bastion of stability in south america. Today is the uns International Day for the elimination of violence against women one of the most systematic and widespread Human Rights Violations of our time the u. N. Estimates that every day about 238. 00 women are intentionally killed across the world most of these murders they are committed by partners or their own families now more than one of one 3rd excuse me of women worldwide have experienced some kind of physical or Sexual Violence in their lifetimes the numbers are particularly high in parts of africa where almost every 2nd woman has experienced violence but violence against women is also a problem in wealthier parts of the worlds here in the European Union for example one in every 3 women is estimated to have suffered violence and abuse in their lifetime one in every 3 women france has one of the highest murder rates for women in europe and now the government is working on a law to better protect women as lisa lewis examines one particular case that helps prompts the new law. And he good he describes it as a life sentence she says theres a gaping void inside of her ever since march 2017 when her daughter was killed by her exboyfriend of the and we need your soul. They had split up 6 weeks earlier he had her arrest ever since one morning he was waiting for her at the whole stable where she worked and tried to convince her to take him back the more you know when she refused he pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the heart and the lungs my brain is still blanking out on what this really means. I think it is trying to protect me otherwise id go crazy i still cant imagine to never see my daughter again im already sick. Back and it doesnt only blame her daughters exboyfriend shes also furious with the system that she feels that her daughter down this main level 2 weeks before he killed her he broke into her house through the window he wanted to frighten her he was convinced she was seeing someone else elin went to the Police Station to press charges but she came up crying the police downplayed things and didnt take her seriously they didnt recognize how dangerous this man was they later decided to drop the case i am so angry at this patriarchal system where men shield other men and which doesnt protect women sister but kalki different body family report issued by the family. Is everything but an isolated case every year more than 120. 00 women are killed in france one group has started counting them and is tagging their names and stories on walls across paris to push the government to finally act. But the government says it is taking the matter seriously its been holding weeks long consultations with victims as a stations across the country and its working on a new law to better protect women against domestic violence. In some of their mortgages the government is working with lawmakers from all across the spectrum and we are ready to act. The new law will introduce electronic bracelets to keep violent men at bay and judges will be able to issue restraining orders within 6 days and more womens shelters will be opened for these acts you most need would you. Took part in the country talks and course the measures a good start but she says more needs to be done and that one Crucial Point is missing from the new legislation that we have more goofy whether. Its really important that the police get proper psychological training they should have to come off their high horse and really listen to women who are asking for help if a woman says she feels threatened they need to take the necessary measures to protect her. Or. Your small but we know that there are many women who went to the police asking for help but were turned away and are now dead. She still hopes the government will change the law to include this so that at least some women will be saved and their families be spared the suffering she now has to endure. Now some other stories making news around the world at least 26 people have been killed in a plane crash in the democratic republic of congo the aircraft came down in a residential area in the eastern city of goma Authorities Say that the cause of the crash was pilot error. The health of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange is so bad that he could die inside a british jail thats according to doctors who have written an open letter saying that he requires Urgent Medical care a songes fighting extradition to the u. S. Over espionage charges that could see him handed a 175 year prison sentence. The inventor of the World Wide Web has launched an action plan to stamp out online threats such as mass surveillance and misinformation in what he calls a contract for the web he sets out principles for governments companies and individuals to follow. Well violence against match officials in sports has become an increasing problem in german football recently referees in berlin in cologne have gone on strike in protest against attacks on their colleagues one referee in berlin gave us this inside story on the recent strike. In charge of the german amateur much. Following several high profile attacks against much officials reported by the German Football Association on the recent rise in lower League Violence referees took action. The fluff and i just cited to strike for a weekend and order to give everyone a wake up call and make the public aware of the issues at hand. I think it was a good move. The team was also reacted very well. Berlin based referee angin chinup played football for 2 decades until injuries saw him switch to the role of referee 8 years ago since then hes seen his fair share of issues in german amateur football now referees and fans have taken to the streets to make their voices heard its just not acceptable anymore for the referees to be victims of violence on the football pitch where seen less and less as a person at respect and that led us to demonstrating here today. Luckily chinari is not alone in berlin a local fan group which promotes respect for refs organized the 2 kilometer long march through the district of courts back but its clear more support is needed for these much officials cut a lone figure on the pitch. In 5 definitely in favor of drastically increasing the punishments for clubs and it would also make sense to have stewards to support the referee during a match. Being a referee is a brave decision but at the moment it can also be a dangerous one without them staging the thousands of games played across germany would not be possible. And mark meadows is here from sports to tell us more and how widespread is the problem well the German Football Federation put out a report about last season and there were almost 3000 verbal and physical attacks on referees and 685. 00 games have to be called off so that shows you its a massive problem in germany its obviously a massive problem across the world and not just in football in professional football as well i mean in peru just this month referee was attacked after a major cup game he was attacked with a ball and kicked in the head the difference is each of us you had a system referees to come to his aid and Federation Officials and riot police. But if youre an amateur ref. Youre just on your own and i used to be an amateur referee back in the day when i was a student and i was attacked in an m. N. C. Game i was kicked between the legs and pushed over to pick myself up out of the modern german red card and of course he went to the sideline and was saving for the entire game with gestures towards me and i knew that my safety you know was in trouble basically after the end of the game so i went up to a year the captain of the other team and i said i need a quick getaway after this match can i come with even your van and thats exactly what happened so yeah its a really nasty business sometimes so you have to take your own measures for your own protection you know it through that lens and in that context what do you think authorities need to do to you know basically deal with the situation and on well the guy who attacked me go to a year ban a long bans have to be the answer but also i think the clubs have to have some sort of punishment as well because then teammates will say hey you cant do that anymore because we have being affected as well whether it be points deductions or heavy fines and i think also the culture in football has to change because too often in professional football you see players haranguing referees thats not the case you know sports like cricket and rugby in rugby its much more deferential only the captain is allowed to speak to the referee and i think it has to filter down if you watch by munich liverpool boss alone or on a weekend and you see that the players are behaving correctly towards a referee then in your comments again you might think well hey this guy this girl is come down to referee this game theyre doing out the goodness of their heart they dont get paid anything lets leave them be and just get on with the game of football because many speech asked on multiple levels he seems to be say mark meadows from sports thank you so much for joining us for. Youre watching news im sarah kelly in berlin coming up after a short break it is business with monica jones to stay with us and i dont forget you can follow us on line or on social media ticker.
