A surprise visit to troops in the region that recently saw a deadly confrontation with china. Im rebecca races welcome to the program and Istanbul Court has sentenced a formal later of the Rights Group Amnesty International tannic kits to 6 Years Imprisonment on terrorism related charges the harsh verdict ended what critics say was a politically motivated trial targeting opposition activists in turkey the country the court rather also sentenced 3 other turkish activists to prison 7 defendants were acquitted the german activist peter was among those acquitted of terrorism charges his arrest in istanbul 3 years ago had triggered a crisis in relations between germany and turkey. More on this im now joined by marcus because the 2nd secretary general of Amnesty International germany marcus how much of a surprise was todays verdict in istanbul for you. Now for anyone who has been following the situation in turkey. It was difficult i mean everyone hoped that it was difficult to expect that we would see a return to the rule of law and we would say see fair trials good exist but nevertheless the verdict today is a shock not i think only for the Civil Society in turkey but for human rights defenders across the globe its actually the 1st time they did the 59 years of the history all of Amnesty International as a Human Rights Organization dead and amnesty representatives have not only been put in front of it caught detained but also. Now again punished in what is truly a not only unfair trial which is is which rather seems like and. Lived 3 years in which all of the. Things brought forward against them. Didnt still didnt stand and so actually what was to be expected was then acquitted of all 11 and tendencies that weve seen some Something Different today with that in mind what does it mean for the human rights situation in turkey. So we have with those fall. We now have the same teams i mean they are not only members and activists of Amnesty International they are known for standing in line rights activists in in turkey and well known within the Turkish Community so its very clear that the turkish government is again with all the other people in prison sending a strong signal of repression. To the turkish Civil Society and all the rest of us not caused by the time and others but what it often its its its a threat to the International Human rights protection because it sends a signal to the governments that with presented seeds of internationally lights all these ations can not only detained. But can also be put on trial incentives so thats the reason why its not important that we see an International Outcry and we see a Strong International reaction from governments across the globe. To ask the turkish government to opt for with human rights the convention of European Convention on human rights and to so its finally free me dollars to date been sentenced in day to and out of the 11 who stood trial the 2 foreign nationals that the german paid us diana and swayed they were acquitted what does this tell us. I mean its quite clear that weve seen that it takes international and international pressure. To operate human rights and im going to draw it out at least in some instances and its quite a while so it was to be expected that a fellow national would be late what would work for me today. Why would someone out turkish nationals and activists. Have better haleys course of being punished so thats why so that governments take it seriously did human rights defenders across the globe are being protected by the u. S. Side on the guidelines for the protection of human rights pendants the un special rapporteur again yesterday called thought at putting on the inevitable. So its not a high time that despite economic interests all they can to turkey to be dead. When the senate is going signaled to the detection teams is dead dave taking the step to the falklands marcus think of the secretary general of Amnesty International germany thanks very much for speaking with us thank you.

Lets go straight to paris now a date of a new correspondent lisa lewis is standing by lisa what do we know about. Well hes 55 years old is very well known as a senior Public Servant hes been working with former governments as an adviser to several ministries for example he was the deputy resect is that deputy secretary general of the el easy when Nicolas Sarkozy the former conservative president was in power and more recently stakes was working together with the now former Prime Minister who are phillipe on the strategy to bring a Company France out of the cove it 19 lockdowns is very raw known amongst politicians amongst senior Public Servants but not that well known amongst the general public and does his appointment as Prime Minister mark the beginning of a change of policy in france well not really he is from the center right party Leader People a car and him on my car came to power the president came to power 3 years ago saying that he would implement the left wing and right wing front you know the center left and center light center right wing policies and so far hes more or less focused on the center right policies and market orientated policy so it seems that hes going to follow through with this strategy until 2022 when the next president ial election is coming up in one of the my clouseau talked to regional newspapers this morning and he said he underlined that he would do other reforms he would help young people to find jobs he would help the elderly who needed assistance but that he would also stick to what he had been doing so far you are not drop the very. Controversial pension reform that french people had been demonstrating against just before the covert lockdown and he looks like hes not going to change course. Why did the government resign at this time after all. Well it was very clear that that there was a really tough for coming up because the president had been talking about that women are close quite low in the polls at the moment in the year you know opinion polls hes only hes got only 38 percent of positive opinions is former Prime Minister it rough you lead you had 50 percent or more so whos stealing part of the limelight and him are cloud wanted to seemingly take back control of the situation and give a new impetus and show the french that hes reforming that these refreshing things 2 years ahead of the election 2022 so that he gets a chance of winning that election really.

To keep moving on do the fireworks continue normalcy as much as we can moving back to normalcy is what wed like to do i think if you take the right precautions theres nothing to be scared of you dont want your party to know what you enjoy yourself but you have you know how many thousands in a group one at protests how to deal with the pandemic is highly politicized some fear that the restrictions are taking away their personal freedom others just see an irresponsible actions. I expect here on our community in maryland because its tor season now that these cases are going to come back as people do not socially distance or where there are mass while visiting our beaches i dont think president.

Decision to buy up all global stocks of the drug now the e. U.

Theres little sign of an Airline Sector recovery in. A couple of planes being ready to service again. Things thats just a flash in the pan.
