now so if you richardson from human rights watch joining us from washington d.c. thank you sophie. thanks now in sweden both main political blocs have failed to secure a majority in the general election instead the far right has reported major gains the ruling center left social democrats and their allies secured forty point six percent a slight edge over the center right the lines at forty point three percent the populace sweden democrats have surged into third place taking seventeen point six percent the far right party hopes to become the kingmaker of any ruling coalition a scenario both centrist blocks are finding hard to stomach. europe's populist wave now reaching sweden in part because of this man. jimmy akeson declaring a big future for his third place anti immigrant party. do you know what friends of sweden they said on t.v. that it's hard to declare a winner of this election i know who's won the sweden democrats. in a small country that's taken in four hundred thousand asylum seekers since two thousand and twelve aca since message has resonated for those

for all the allegations concerning those camps i came in a report from human rights watch wolfgang a butler is from that organization welcome to day w so how long have these camps been in existence how widespread do you believe them to be so these camps have come into existence in two thousand and sixteen and us to targeting i mean a new party secretary took over in china which was former working in tibet and she was mostly responsible for setting up these camps and here's the key now of about one million. people who are in these camps and this is a big amount of people when you see that you have thirteen million people in china and so the chinese government says dozens of people were killed in attacks by weaker separatists in that region john in twenty thirty to twenty forty they say these comes the radicalization senses which sounds not unreasonable i mean that's right and there were terrorist attacks a few years ago but this is no reason to detain people in these camps and i would just say to the chinese government that they should let us in have a look at these camps we have no a

human rights watch uses very strong language to condemn the saudi led coalition operation in northeast yemen at the beginning of august which killed forty children and eleven adults they say it just adds to the gruesome record of killing civilians in yemen now you remember at the time of the show he said that this was a legitimate military operation they were targeting with the leaders who they believe were in the area at the time what human rights watch is saying is that they have spoken to survivors to eyewitnesses to people who were in the area and while they can't establish if they were the leaders were there the saudis must have known that by taking the action they did they were going to kill a large number of civilians because there was a school bus a market and a number of houses there so the saudis conducted their own investigation they say that the recently attack should have taken place is not because it would have killed a large number of civilians but because the leaders posed nor major threat to the saudi coalition at that point and human rights watch also see that people

rights watch he's in bangkok phil so much condemnation as to be expected human rights watch chief among them what exactly is human rights rights watch prepared to do to try to challenge this verdict. well i think we need to launch a global campaign working with media organisations and non-governmental organizations all around the world pulling in the governments pulling in the united nations and really make a common united front for the defense of these two journalists who clearly have been entrapped by the police but also for the larger principle of media freedom in myanmar because the situation is one where you know if there's no media freedom there's not going to be human rights and democracy for much longer absolutely so what do you think is the most important lesson that we learn about me i'm on today as a result of this. case and the. well it shows that the burmese military is still pulling the strings in the judiciary this court case was one where you know ample evidence was provided that they were entrapped there were a number of police who said they were in fact told to entrap

and france and here is human rights watch saying that those countries have to stop providing where. and then perhaps civilians may not be targeted quite so often and how does all of this then affect the prospects of upcoming talks in geneva under the aegis of the un and the great courage of martin griffiths. well certainly if you put it into context you see that over the last week there has been increasing pressure on the saudi led coalition with the u.n. panel of experts with other human rights watch report which there is to go and investigate these incidents really well enough and then we have the human rights watch report on sunday saying that war crimes could possibly committed when it came to bombing of the school bus there is pressure too on the saudis from the united states who don't like the idea of them being accused of war crimes which is what human rights watch is saying that if you are responsible for the bombing and you provided the bomb and the americans provided the bomb then there is the possibility that you too could be charged with war crimes so there is increasing
