anti china falsehoods and an attempt to smear china with rumours and lies. xinjiang is stable, prosperous and the people live happy lives, he said. but there has been no attempt to address the evidence itself, which includes these images from deep within the system, further evidence of the harsh detention and indoctrination of a people not for what they have done, but for who they are. john sudworth, bbc news. a 14 year old boy, who fatally stabbed a schoolgirl in a row over a snapchat video has been found guilty of her murder. ava white, who was 12, was killed in liverpool city centre after a christmas lights switch on in november last year. the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will be sentenced at a later date. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports.
