Welcome. Glad you could join us we begin. On the soldiers appear to have testified on camera that the army had carried out atrocities against the Muslim Minority these appear to be the 1st public confessions of the armys involvement in crimes against the 2 soldiers have been described as. And. The army has been fighting. These confessions were made voluntarily under duress but he. Said. Private. Said i quote we shot dead and wiped out according to the command of perspective of all children and adult. Brive it. Said. Give us an old shoot all you see and all you hear so we indiscriminately shot at all. Correspondent who covers the region joins me now from kuala lumpur whats your assessment of these videos i mean how. Might they have been obtained under duress yeah well i can tell you that i saw a video that has been made public that came out made that the same 2 soldiers were in now they do not go as far as that video that came out in may as the one that the New York Times was reporting on yesterday that everyones talking about now but when you watch that video from may they do look like theyre under duress and it leads to questions about whether or not their answers were rehearsed but heres the thing they are i. C. C. Investigators are talking to them so thats really whats going to be the most important thing what are they saying i. C. C. Investigators what new videos my i. C. C. International criminal Court Investigators might they be getting will they be testifying in any sort of International Criminal court down the road thats the key thing the fact that they are in the hague now ive been talking to International Criminal Court Investigators that is a huge deal and it cannot be stressed enough the significance because weve been hearing now for years from victims which is important is that is this is the 1st time that were hearing these sort of confessions from perpetrators exactly as you just mentioned a lot of what the soldiers are saying has already been said before and ledge before but has to be that any action taken. Against members of the army so. There has been a small number of soldiers whove gone on trial getting relatively light sentences again our army has been saying that there is no command from the top to do this that these were isolated incidents done by robe soldiers thats been the defense of the man army and the small number of soldiers whove been punished again these work clothes courts theres been no transparency about any of this so theres been minimal done by the me and my army there or their main argument has been all along that there is no orders from the top coming from this that this is not something organized on the top thats been the mean army bands and thats the way theyve stayed so far really but there was a damn good a bomb in kuala lumpur thank you so much. Live action remake of a disney animated film is facing boycott calls from activists in hong kong thailand and taiwan but for news online last week is facing a but if it was. In she went up to a 1000000 years being incarcerated by the Chinese Government the films lead was already facing criticism for her support of police in the cracking down on prodemocracy protests last year. Thought it cannot. Sail from chinese folklore as it stirs National Pride discusses herself as a man to stand in for her ailing father in the army a sure fire hollywood blockbuster aimed at a giant market but the Films Production Company disney is facing accusations of ignoring human rights abuses for the sake of business activists are urging people to stay away from the movie. Now its time for people to through the action to let this need to know that cult out of china should not be the way out and force at our parties and actors and also to Police Brutality the well respond and back fire to it and the outcry already began last year when the film stars face expressed support for Hong Kong Police and chinese social media i. Rights groups and the un have accused police there of brutality in their response to prodemocracy protests in hong kong the irony of the situation has not been lost on some hong kong ors. I dont think a single character is that of a righteous person but lou said she supports Police Brutality the Police Brutality in hong kong what the police have done is completely unjust shes so different from the actual milan shes the opposite it is really ironic then last week more bad publicity it emerged that milan had been filmed at least partly in chinas shin junge province ssion jiang is the homeland of the weaker people and ethnic and religious minority but china has been accused of systematically persecuting. A colony of detention camps there is believed to be holding and trying to brainwash over a 1000000 we china calls them Vocational Training centers. Youre saying that the film milan involves changing issues right. There a few things id like to point out 1st theres no such thing as reeducation camps in addition john moulins credits expressly thank chinese authorities and shin jiang including some blacklisted by the us for human rights violations. So what are the business interests behind the film do you have an entertainment reporter crocks closer as we know from venice where hes covering the Venice Film Festival scott good to see you how important is the Chinese Market for hollywood. Vitally important i mean china is already the 2nd largest box office. In the world just behind north america Something Like 9500000000. 00 in box office out of china last year and for the really big movies of the big sort of hollywood blockbusters they desperately need that market in order to really recoup their money and to make a make a major profit so china is seen as incredibly important and really the big Hollywood Studios will do everything they can not to annoy china Scott Hollywood has also been increasingly featuring chinese actors in Major International movies and also story lines to learn specifically to the Chinese Market matt damon starring in the great wall of comes to mind is this all a further example of how much hollywood needs the Chinese Market so it can succeed. Yes definitely and i think also shows the extent to which the hollywood is trying to appease the Chinese Market the Chinese Government you also maybe might have noticed that in recent hollywood films youll never see a chinese villain the chinese and the Chinese Government are always portrayed as heroes or at least helpers in the storylines that hollywood is presenting and what i find is interesting though you mentioned the great wall with with matt damon a big attempt by hollywood to to make a real chinese movie with a Hollywood Star it failed completely it was a huge bomb showing that hollywood really doesnt know what the chinese audience wants or what the Chinese Government wants but still they keep trying and they keep sort of self censoring in order not to offend particularly the Chinese Government so when joshua long for democracy activist in hong kong says that it appears that it is something element of kowtowing to china on the part of hollywood and Big Companies like disney for example hes not wrong. No i completely agree with him i mean this isnt all of american filmmaking there are plenty of american filmmakers who make films that are critical of china but when it comes to the really big studios in the really big movies they desperately need and want the chinese audience in the box office the billions of dollars a box office that comes out of china and will do almost anything to. Avoid annoying the Chinese Government so they can get their films into that market because thats the big problem with china the Chinese Government controls what films are shown there so any Hollywood Studio has to get through that censorship system and they do kowtow completely they censor scripts they change characters there was a film dr strange movie it had a character from a comic book that was tibetan that was changed to a nontobacco character played by Tilda Swinton and that seems deliberately done in order to avoid offending the Chinese Government and that film of course was shown it did very successful was very successful in china speaking specifically about this for more than it was already facing backlash last year when the lead actress of you your faith posted on social media in support of hong kong but on the mainland should receive a lot of support how much does approach im lost on health for the firm success in the mainland. Well well see actually with this film because i dont think disneys pro china stance necessarily hurts it in america i dont think people pay as much attention really and people who like this movie will probably try and watch it or like these kind of movies when it comes to the main land Chinese Market ill be interested to see how this film is perceived if its perceived as a really patriotic movie maybe that will help it but maybe not because the chinese audience is a credibly diverse and the Chinese Government often will promote a very proper propaganda stick movies and they tend to do very badly in the Chinese Market so this film if its a good movie and gets released in a big way in china will probably do well but that its going to be based on the strength of its story and not sort of how its perceived as being pro or anti china scott at the end of the day this sort of bag city is better than no publicity does this work in favor of disney and. Not in not in any way disney does not need a bad publicity they got plenty of good publicity they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on movies like this to get good publicity out there this can only hurt the film im not sure if it will because as i said i think a lot of people who want to see this kind of movie dont really care about the politics behind it but the bad publicity surrounding this movie can only do it harm and really i think can only do harm to the to the brand of does the into disneys image abroad i think that is what the studio is most worried about.

India is on its way to becoming the Worlds Largest covered 19 hotspot with 4300000 cases india has surpassed brazil as the country with the 2nd tightest number of infections Public Health experts warn its inevitable india will soon claim the record if this stock the price. Linda the number that are coming in and. Reading in. India would be an. End of september. India has ramped up coronavirus testing and is now conducting more than a 1000000 a day for the virus shows no sign of slowing. That hasnt stopped the gradual reopening of the economy and schools. We have to open up the economy we have to lift restrictions otherwise work isnt possible. To protect peoples livelihoods while also protecting their lives its the high stakes decision being faced around the world. Indias battle with corona virus is unparalleled around the world and subject to one of the worlds strictest lock downs introducing tough measures back in march when they were just 500 cases in the country but that didnt stop the spread interest posting record numbers of new cases on an almost daily basis with nothing to suggest the curve is nearing its peak over the past couple of months indias average number of cases per day as risen from below 30000 to over 80000 even the us at its worst wasnt posting figures that high meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Young Indians desperate to get into top level universities have been taking part in highly Competitive Exams Safety Measures are in place but many students are worries that a few days after the college tests theyll need covered 19 tests to. Examinations during a pandemic and. Some qualities that remain closed as India Records the highest d. V. D. Drive in peace is a little worried. These students are appealing for a crucial test. And its testing like never before. Mosques assigned at the exam center constant sanitization and repeated calls for social distancing decision i use my parents and students here are reassured by these measures these see they cannot afford to lose any more time to the pandemic. Playing hardball. Was all big because as all the Safety Measures were taken so that i was going to get theirs and they were the band and. They could have conducted this examination. But they push it to july and now they become deport any more delays yet not everyone has been listened to about that many of the Competitive Exams held every year in india have failed default position this time students have protested online against the this big favor are being forced to take and have even approached the Supreme Court all of the students took to social media to trend the hard drives against exams and quit while the Supreme Court has rejected their demands didnt say forcing them to appeal for the exams is cruel its probably a good while an aspiring doctor is expected to travel 150 kilometers next week to the test center she hasnt stepped out in 5 months so understand a fight to do so she her dream was over social media that another exam led to dozens of school with 19 deaths in durham i know many students whose parents are asking them to skip exams this year it is far too risky to go for them nothing is decided for me either my family is scared they dont know whether i should go for the sick someone not. Opposition parties have taken up the cause as well as the accuse them or the government of being and i student protesters insist they do not want the exams cancelled but simply postponed until it is safe for work on the new console bit. Of the in the county and the. It goes. All of the you can only question the. Time being. These students however intend to get on with their parents this yr their careers will have to be formed within this new normal. We can all speak to do we used to leave your achieve cheema thanks for joining us so interesting this seemingly constant very steep rise in cases whats behind it you know people are describing indias the new epicenter of this girl in a virus in the past 24 hours almost 90000 new infections were reported as for reasons there are several if you asked the government theyd say were testing more that testing carrying out kind of 1000000. 00 tests a day and thats said to increase so they say the more we test them all cases were likely to find but of course we also have to keep in mind that india is easing restrictions throughout the country they Just Announced this week the face number for life is coming close to nil theyve also allowed metro rail stations to operate with some restrictions and then once must also admit that people are becoming a bit casual about these restrictions and about their lifestyle theyre not taking the kind of bitter because shiens that theyve been advised to take but simply they are fed up you mention about the large number of tests that are being done and the death rate would seem to bear that out india does have quite a low death rate about 1. 7 percent you compare that with 3 percent in the us is that a fair defense that for where the government is taking consolation from these figures they say a fatality rate is low in india and they also see a recovery rate is very high but when you took some of the economists to say these numbers are misleading it is true that indias fatality rates much lower than in europe and in north america but theyre not that low compared to other Asian Countries especially in south asia as the governments of the experts but how are our regular indians feeling today feel is out of control i think there was a sense of panic when this. Pandemic 1st started in march a pretty good way to screen the body but i do think that people. You know so less than extra can simply because they believe that these numbers do reflect to some extent that india is doing quite well and its all anecdotal evidence there is no science to prove that is the death rate low but people also then again anecdotally talk about a lot of missing death cases that these numbers are not as reliable as the government would have us believe people are always talking but i know so and so do and i know so and so who died and they feel maybe these numbers are not quite so reliable as the government would have have them believe and brought in a strict lock down pretty early on whats being done to try and get on top of this rising number of cases they have implemented a lot of measures but it must be said as the locked on that it was 1st implemented on the 25th of march was 1 of the strictest in the blood and india came up with this locked on fairly in the early stages of the pandemic but what critics are saying they didnt make the most of the time that it was not managed very well it was ineffective the implemented the locked on with 4 hours notice there was panic among people and big did not use this time to build resilience within the Health System so they lost crucial time there and now theyve implemented several measures of course which are testing cans they have. A Corporate App that theyve asked everybody to download and you know theyve strengthened kind of capacity in hospitals and things that they are taking measures now but a bit late many people mention the Health Care System and the hospitals or how is the Health Care System coping the Health Care System in big cities was under great strain in the initial stages and you could really going to die of stories about people dying in cars waiting to get into hospitals but now they have improved the situation in hospitals a lot but theres a big difference between who can afford health care and who got the private Health Care System in india is very good but its expensive so not everyone has access to that and now the big worry rob is that this virus is spreading into. Yes and then the Health System is very weak to some extent in just pinning his hopes on a vaccine that is trying to develop itself it is then india is not the leading countries working on a vaccine this and a promising trials going on Clinical Trials but theres no side of the breakthrough at the moment even if there were to be a breakthrough and then the distribution how do you distribute a vaccine to 1300000000 people the vast numbers is as always with india the issue thank you so much for giving us up to date delhi bureau tree chief im researching. Now its time for one of your questions to our science correspondent don aquariums. What are your thoughts on rapid kovan 1000 tests for daily use in the population. For this answer you need some quick background right now the Gold Standard in testing for coke at 19 is a method told p. C. R. Or the polymerase Chain Reaction method now now its very accurate but its also kind of slow and it has to be carried out in a lab by by professionals which is why in some countries like india theyve turned to what are called rapid and dejan tasks which dont test for the viral genetic code but that just for one of the proteins thats that it expresses there are a lot cheaper and theyre faster and they could be potentially self administered but then theyre also a lot less accurate still proponents of widespread testing with them say the upsides of the technology outweigh the accuracy issues because they could play a key role as a frontline surveillance tool which which p. C. R. At the moment cant really do because of its complexity now on the surface everyone testing themselves all the time sounds like a good idea but a lot of researchers remain pretty skeptical that it will actually work out i mean youd have to produce a huge number of tests for it for europe alone were talking about about billions of them every week so so a major production challenge when to sell it is are already stretched and and with most commercial antigen tests significant accuracy problems could really a road how much trust people eventually place in the results that they get of discouraging their uptake so id say that yeah the idea of more testing through rapid antigen tests is a great one in principle. Most of the experts i read say we shouldnt expect to turn the tide on covert 19. Science correspondent Derek Williams that now pope francis has made a play to the catholic faithful to look out for each Others Health during the pandemic speaking to a mostly socially distanced crowd of worshippers past the vatican the pontiff encouraged nations to work towards the common good during the pandemic rather than seeking economic or political advantage he said a virus that does not recognize borders must be faced with a love without borders during the speech the pope did caution the audience themselves to keep distance between each other and not to crowd together and thats ash out thanks a lot for joining us.
