Corona virus in hong kong. And he killed thousands of people and caused untold misery yet colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar is still treated as a hero by many but now the families of his victims have found an unusual way to fight back. And at the laureus sports awards here in berlin theres no one better than snowden biles the american gymnast winning sports woman of the year for the 3rd time formula one champion Lewis Hamilton sharing the mens award was football legend legal mess. I brought in thomas great to have you with us today. A document leaked to a d w news has exposed chinas mistreatment of its Muslim Minority we are people the United Nations estimates that as many as 1000000 we gores are being held in camps in the shin jang region and chinese authorities have long insisted people are there of their own free will and that theyre receiving occasional training their tribes government has also claimed that these Training Centers are an effective tool against islamist extremism but d. W. And its german Media Partners andy r. W. D. Are in the studio its a newspaper have new evidence indicating that china is putting we gores in prison simply because of their religion i only conrad of our Investigative Unit has more. Because i would never have found out that my sister is in a camp without this list lugger the up of the boy the way. Its a detail surveillance document its extremely likely that this is authentic yes its dangerous but someone should tell the world whats going on. In the war. These men now we get muslims from china back home they could be imprisoned for the simple act of praying i quickly come to realize that each one of them has a story of loss. Of the. Fascist Chinese Government wants to eliminate the weaker people of change on the entire population of john right in front of the eyes of the world. We ask them to raise their hands if they have family members whove been imprisoned in chinas province where most weekends live. Across ginger there are dozens of camps holding up to a 1000000 weekend. Lets take a closer look at one of them this is a reeducation camp next to a prison. We identified watchtowers and high walls. That countless camps like this one the Chinese Government claims they are fallen tree vocational Training Centers designed to fight we stream it. Too but we received a document which shows that china is targeting weak is based on their identity and religion it lists hundreds of detainees and the reasons for their detention are. By force of the weak academic up to were you perceived it from a source and took a huge risk sharing it with us. Our. January 8 are you still with the phone call like its messenger call and. He said that stop doing this and we can reach you where were you are yes its the dress but someone should take the danger someone should speak up someone someone should tell the world whats going on. The document doesnt have any stamp or signature we showed it to several experts who agreed that it is almost certainly an official text. It contains an enormous amount of extremely specific. Data from one very Small Community in and that. It would take an immense amount of effort and access to publicly on available data to fabricate a document like this in this neighborhood in istanbul where many weekends live we met one woman whose sisters are mentioned on the list. But since that talk to news some family members had been imprisoned but it shocked her when she found out that her youngest sister was listed in the document called mbeki edible. I was really sad for days i couldnt sleep. I was really shocked. And sad about her arrest. Ok dont call them. China says its fighting extremism but talk he says her younger sister wasnt religious her only crime she had too many children along all of them i heard that the conditions in prison are unimaginably bad they dont even have enough food to eat oh. Well. She doesnt know if her relatives have been released like countless of the leaders they have been caught up in chinas all encompassing antiterrorism drive. Lets talk about this more now with Sandra Peters shes the head of did abuse Investigative Unit here in berlin today to sondra a very disturbing report is this the strongest piece of evidence yet this document that china is persecuting the wee gores as we thought they were i would say yes based on you know the analysis that we have now been conducting for weeks and weeks this is the big leak coming from the region and through this leak we basically learn the oculus reasons used to put people into camps which are essentially we education camps to brainwash people. Where did this document come from where we contrary view the entire way how it reached us but in november and thats what i can give away we receive whats up message through up the way i just saw in our reporting is one of the whistleblowers who could get hold of this document he shared it with us but of course it was all in mandarin and we didnt really know what it was all about so the 1st big task was to translate this massive p. D. F. Spreadsheet of 137 pages and we did that together with our partners using trusted sources to get also more than one translation to be really on the safe side ok when you look at the language and language tells us that it is bureaucratic that it comes from inside the system it must come from within the system probably taken out of a big governmental system probably on the local level and then you know in order to disguise the person so handle it it was put into a p. D. F. Spreadsheet to take it out of the country and possibly on ok and you have reached out to the Chinese Government for their response obviously we wrote written questions to very specific questions we sent it to beijing to the Foreign Ministry and also to the Chinese Embassy here in berlin that was left unanswered a blocky last thursday ahead of the Munich Security Conference the Chinese Foreign minister a visit to berlin and we managed to put a question. Him and this is what he had to say jewish. No one has seen any kind of concentration camp in chin jang no one has seen any persecution the only thing to see was people of various ethnicities and singeing living together harmoniously these facts demonstrate that the socalled concentration camps the socalled 1000000 are 100 percent rumors they are complete fake news fake. Ok one using there that these dont exist the reeducation camps but in fact you talk to people they face a lot of risks once they leak information were or even speak out about it yes they face an incredible risk like up the way you told us he received a message a phone call of by an anonymous person threatening him if you proceed to investigate you know we will be able to get you on confected concrete his family back home and change young and thats where the real risk lies for we get an ex i you know if they want to protect their families they should probably not speak up and what about people who leave these reeducation camps if they return to life as normal you know i mean if you are released from the camp full growing it be it lets say or for varying a way that you are not released into freedom you will continue to be kept under strict surveillance at home in your home districts or and this is also what we found in the list you might be sent to a system of forced labor in factories we found dozens of those cases of what does this all tell us about our perceptions of the chinese surveillance surveillance state have we been underestimating it probably not underestimating but now we learn how all income passing it is in a mixture of you know high tech facial Recognition Software including security cameras and all of that smartphone apps but also shia manpower to trek you know the movement the social behavior of each and every week a household sandra it was meant thanks very much for coming on and on this is this worse this morning nice to see your guns. Lets get you briefed down on some of the other stories making the news today syrian president Bashar Al Assad has vowed to continue the offensive against rebels in their last major stronghold in the countrys northwest in a rare televised address he said complete victory was in sight russian backed offensive has displaced some 900000 people since early december. Protesters in haiti have set fire to carnival stands in the capital Port Au Prince local sources say the protesters were angry that the government spend money on carnival celebrations haiti has seen months of on rest and its widespread poverty and a deepening social and economic crisis. Like the worlds richest man jeff bezos says he intends to spend 10000000000. 00 to help fight Climate Change the funds will provide grants to individuals and organizations that work on Environmental Issues last year his Company Amazon announced plans to switch to Renewable Energy sources by 2030. Or china has published a new study on the corona virus suggesting the number of new infections appears to be falling but beijing is warning that could change when people start returning to school and work in this study the Chinese Center for Disease Control and prevention says so far the virus has killed just over 2 percent of those infected with older people and those with existing conditions more likely to die the death rate is lower than for previous coronaviruses such as sars. A sars outbreak in hong kong back in 2003 killed about 300 people our correspondent pill reports from the territory on how many on connors fear that history could be repeating itself as the new corona virus spreads. Exhausted but relieved that nightmare that in and last week these residents were pulled from their beds in the middle of the night off to 2 People Living floors apart tested positive for k. That 19 its is the buyers could be traveling through the pipes gripping hong kong with the collective dread that it was about to watch history repeat itself this isnt way gardens in 2003 it became synonymous with tragedy 42. 00 residents lost their lives to the songs epidemic hundreds more were infected defective pipes had been carrying the virus directly into peoples homes the whole. Becoming the city. They had to come home to gobble gobble i feel so sad and so i would have even those of that 7 years that humans are still be coming to evaluate the market the horror of what happened here is still feed in peoples minds many still haunted by the tail of the tragedy and its that which is now fueling faith today. Mr yep says lessons have been learned and additional hygiene measures introduced but thats done little to calm nerves. With masks and Hand Sanitizer both in short supply toilet roll is now the latest target of panic shoppers. Concern so great one online rumor of a shortage is all it took to empty the shelves i think of the action of a whole people is that the justice or how would they know who would look at that i came to talk to their prey who appears to be absolutely a theoretical being that they. Profess a lie a treated songs victims he sees echoes of possible stakes things more must be done to prevent another devastating outbreak this is a stupid these are rated by theory least in the hope or thought he should be is to include everyone everything go on threw him off and also supply it because you couldnt afford the image that we thought that you put that in the. Victims this outbreak is particularly painful and its now needs a network of survive it while theyre bracing for the west he says sauce is proof that hong kong can come back from the brink of. Back in 2003 we spend 4 to 5 months time to fight against it seize this time we may have a longer time to fight and we should not be led by the fear inside us even those we have the house experience that we should be telling everyone we came across the most difficult time you know to us standing here back at home may have also thirtys have given residents do you claim that caution here was born from experience given hong kongs past the spread of fish can be as challenging to contain as the virus itself. And the epidemic is making itself felt on the markets shares were down in trading in asia on tuesday is its impact deepens there u. S. Tech giant apple for examples warned that its revenues are likely to fall in the 1st quarter of 2020 that due to the disruption caused by the outbreak apple says its factories are closed or operating at reduced capacity supply chains have been disrupted as well number of Major Business events planned to be held in china will also be postponed or canceled outright among them the beijing auto show. Lets get more on where this could be headed with b. W. Businesses chris coburg my dear chris mooney is this a blip for apple revenues down or is it something is going to can continue for a while well its hard to say i mean all depends on how long this virus keeps spreading and how long the countermeasures as a plant closures shops being being closed as long as they remain in place once the virus is under control i would imagine that situations particularly for a Consumer Goods Company like apple could be back to normal pretty quickly and also we need to remind ourselves apple is sitting on a mountain of cash so it might be easier for them to navigate through such a rough patch others are likely to have more difficulty ok with supply chains shut down what about other Big Companies they must be experiencing the same thing are they thinking about relocating their operations as a result of the virus or the governments response well relocation is a pretty big step i mean china is a gigantic market to Many Companies you have about 1400000000 People Living there and you obviously want to cater to them as directly as you can so relocation is is is a pretty farfetched but what we do see is that companies are trying to relocate parts of their supply chain to outside of china to japan to south korea to vietnam thereby trying to circumvent any pause in possible negative impact from plant closures in china ok so some countries going to be benefiting from from those from the crime of virus are now calling off the beijing auto show thats a prudent decision its also an unprecedented one what kind of impact is occurring now that is big news china has a massive Automotive Market brands like cherry like geely like great wall Great Wall Motors they might not be household names outside the country to certainly are in china and now those companies are failing to show what theyve got they also. I do not have the the possibility to lay eyes on you know other technologies that that other producers might might have come up with and that in a point of time when the whole Automotive Industry is going to a huge transformation face so calling off this event is a hard hit or does it look like you expect other similar cancellations of large public assemblies Public Events as if things dont turn around quickly i would think so i mean tokyo for example is hosting the summer olympics. In july and organizers there are looking at the whole development with great concern we already see the organizers of the tokyo marathon that is due to happen on march 1st dramatically scaling back the event about 38000 runners were supposed to take to participate in it now its 176. 00 and just 30 people in wheelchairs so again they already taking massive measures there chris thanks for looking into the forces where interest over force. Drug lord Pablo Escobar was once one of the worlds most dangerous criminals nearly 30 years after his death people continue to romanticize his lifestyle and make money out of his brutal legacy now though as did have used reports the families of escobar as many victims have decided to take a. Public bar is everywhere in the streets and shops he grins at passers by from t. Shirts key chains and even Oil Paintings pop culture has turned the founder of the many young drug cartel into an icon an icon who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of people to consult this trend is horribly painful he tells me that 30 years ago his father died in a terror attack orchestrated by the notorious drug lord. And i think nowadays the people who sell these talks of products are soley motivated by the desire to make money in order to sell by contribution to the hype around this figure of a crime boss who inflicted a lot of pain on this country. As a place from 1976 to 993 escobar ruled over a kingdom of horror fueled by assassinations kidnappings and terror attacks still some of the very colombians who once lived in fear of him now seek to profit from his legacy yes some people come in and get mad they tell me this is blasphemy and ask me why on earth are you selling this but people ask for it this is after all my livelihood if i get a request i get it printed because i run a business this is. Gonzalez and. Colombia remembers is trying to show the grim reality behind the idolization with its latest project oddly enough its an online store selling narco merchandise or at least thats what it looks like at 1st glance. The way it works is that if you try to buy one of the products offered on the website youll encounter the story of a victim of narco terrorism in colombia a direct victim of public record. And i barely know woman im marked elana gomez and im the wife of. Deceased and one of Pablo Escobar is a tax. He said i would like to tell my husband that the life project we created together i try to do in the name of our love. And of our life project in is through mornin or through predictor you know we love you forever. Gonzalo and his cofounder daveed arent alone in their fight against the trivialization of escobar his dark legacy through the narco store project they found unexpected allies with very close ties to the drug lord. I mean theres you know its down tension to prioritise the victims are the products that glorify the crimes all the story of my father those products are permanent insult to the families of the men up in my neighborhood and the lines for peace unimaginable 3 decades ago 27 years after public death colombia still hasnt been able to dismantle the powerful drug industry he built banning the products that glorify narco culture should be a far easier task. And. Also in the news today an abandoned cargo ship has washed up on the Southern Coast of ireland the 77 meter and the altar had been adrift with no crew for more than a year after broke down south of bermuda 2800 irish Authorities Say a contractor will be boarding that vessel of low tide to assess its condition.
