i mean. guy is being held in katmandu maximum security prison if convicted he faces up to eleven years behind bars this is the case file. his lawyer or not he. says his guy is not a paedophile instead just an innocent foreigner caught up in a crackdown by the police is central investigation bureau or c.i. b. the a.v. has not been vetted physically. playing because the dude is a. victim and. but. surely. that is the police here are really doing very old fashioned police work where it's just
5:01 pm
straight surveillance and the foreigners who have been caught it's been by chance. more we had to hand is a veteran humanitarian worker who tracks the abuse in the international aid said she's not surprised that so many of the foreigners arrested in for child sexual exploitation have been working for n.g.o.s or have been financially supporting founder. i do think that nepal like any country where there are a lot of war children is a target because for disposable children nobody should be shot because this is how pedophiles gain access you don't gain access to children by being this horrible nasty person you gain access by putting yourself in position of power vulnerable children so you get involved in children's charities you join the boys and girls club you're a shining light in the boys and girls club predators. our social paths usually so
5:02 pm
they come across charming and you think oh this is such a lovely man but he just loves children and so there's a huge imbalance between the predators and the survivors. that imbalance between the accused and the alleged victims presents a major challenge for authorities prosecuting these cases police say to whiskas family in the netherlands came to nepal to convince the alleged victim's family to withdraw the accusation. they were trying to influence the big impact of the referring to. money some sort of money. to be competitive. and they were trying to negotiate. giving. some dollars some. thousand dollars maybe i don't know the actual amounts but.
5:03 pm
to. dismiss the case. was family and their lawyers say the conversation did not happen he says his client's family only keen to nepal to visit tour with guy in prison. here through the. bahamas where there is also guilty. or did. they had to give. whatever the truth of the two is good case those who work with victims say perpetrators often try to buy their way out of trouble pinky saying rana is a human rights activist and a board member of softy a local organization that counsels abuse victims and their families it is very difficult because first of all. families. i don't want to bring up the issue
5:04 pm
because it's a matter of shame also on top of that happened to a boy so it's you know something that even the communities don't want to talk about or even accept are when going to the court there is a sense of feeling that you know they may not get justice and also are not the challenge that we do see is there always people from the perpetrators side who are trying to. convince them not to fight cases through different mediums including bribes also these foreigners have the resources definitely try to make it go away definitely definitely they do feel that it's a matter of exploitation of sexual exploitation is there but then at another level it's a rotation through power also you know so power money is being used to prevent them from registering cases as well as. trying to prevent them to even talk.
5:05 pm
making an official complaint about abuse can be difficult for any child anywhere but here in nepal where foreigners are held in high esteem it can be even more challenging there is a sense with saying guests like gods so. when foreigners befriend and you know build up very close relationships with the parents of some of these abused voice than for them it's even harder to believe. so he is now looking after about one hundred girls and eighty boys in several shelters many of them are street children and orphans with nowhere else to go a lot of foreigners have been found abusing young boys. in hot spots such as in the tourist areas and more recently we're also finding that they are not only into my new orleans so much more well known to response but even moving slowly to the
5:06 pm
remote areas is where. advocates say vulnerable communities need to be aware that not everyone comes with the right motivation and more needs to be done to protect children. are n.g.o.s doing enough screening to prevent possible predators from infiltrating their organization to exploit kids know these countries not at all not only non-governmental organizations but u.n. agencies as well there's no screening going on whatsoever. laurie hadra hand says part of the solution is for n.g.o.s to monitor their employees' online activity most of the pedophiles always video themselves it's become a currency even takes on values so they very rarely rape children without also videoing it and taking photographs and then immediately sharing those so to me an
5:07 pm
indication that we were starting to stop the problem would be that every humanitarian is monitored so you sign a consent form just like you have to get random drug testing for some jobs right so i would sign a consent form that all of my electronics even my personal like tronics would be subject to random search the way to monitor and. there are more than forty thousand registered n.g.o.s in the poll and even more than registered. and there's a growing awareness amongst them of the potential dangers strangers can pull ups in the big mean we have to have you open but we all know that we would be like a platform for some of the things they were doing everything gets on. the ballot kendra's school in katmandu here is for about seventy vulnerable children most of their parents are poor migrant laborers with little support here
5:08 pm
in the city. funded by a small american engine you know many foreigners come here for income but principle here indebted to you says the school ensures those who come have good intentions when somebody we want them to write to later and have a different persona that we may want to contact and we also asked them based all gave. the spelling to us we need to put up the confidence that that worked together with the new problem. and you never leave the children alone with foreigners without one of their i don't think we should that we should all be that is our policy. the bow kendra's school and other local n.g.o.s are determined to do whatever it takes to protect nepal's children. which of them are just the. little flowers they are very for giant you know they trust
5:09 pm
and they're wonderful they're all rich trust everyone. nepalese authorities insist that they too are doing what they can to crack down on child sexual abuse. the government recently introduced longer prison sentences for perpetrators and fast track courts to speed up criminal trials. we want to bring. against children it is not. crime. deputy superintendent cut to wall says he's more committed than ever to the fight against child sex abuse children that are powers if we can't protect them the mission will be collapsed. it's clear this poverty stricken country is an easy target for abuse but increased community awareness and

5:14 pm
a complex political reality most of these government representatives live outside yemen that influence has why did a client says the who things took over the capitol in two thousand and fourteen but they remain determined there. must hand over their weapons before there is a final deal. is twenty two sixteen and nothing more they should respect international community work they should surrender their nations and myside that they're used to attack the yemeni people and their own countries and that then that there will be no settlement no solution they should withdraw from this additional state would and handbag institution of the states to the legitimate government the two parties remain divided over who should run the ports of her data it's a vital lifeline for yemen's food imports who thieves who control the area say they are willing to let the united nations oversee operations of the port the saudi

5:16 pm
issues but i have to say that they face he huge differences about how to move forward and joining me to talk more about the latest developments is mr holmes that the man who's the deputy youth minister from the government based in saudi arabia mr. just because here is self exam in a way or another mr hamza come as was your first question can you give us an idea we about what is happening right now there is a meeting now between the delegation of the government with the special boy where they are really talking about the schedule which is being big issue right now we have a real problem right here we had agreements that we agreed on in kuwait previously and in september in geneva that we have to support the human to you in discussion it's a prelude to right now not just for us for all their many people we have to end the suffering so we talk about humanitarian confidence building measures are we talking here about the how do the issues cease fire agreement what is the top priority from a government perspective detainees and he went to an axis and and seizing the areas
5:17 pm
that had that is have problem and access to the traffic of that and you want the united nations to take control of those no no we don't want to anyone to we believe that this is the responsibility of the government of yemen we are talking about the seizing of the israelis and you are talking about the humanitarian act is a do decent relation of the entering work right now we cannot accept that that all of that he went to and i it's being transferred only through probably want twenty five centers of who they want to work. one in sanaa in aden in paris and have an amount in order to. sublanguage humanitarian aid. i want to ask you a question is are saying basically here in stockholm we would like to talk about the political framework which is a presidential body that will lead to many of the future will so how do you who is the internationally recognized president of yemen should go this is not sense i believe that this elder all this we have two. big priorities on the first place
5:18 pm
parities ours to support the humanitarian issues at the first place and we go through political of the political settlement is also a top priority because how can you move forward if you don't agree politically speaking politically all the solutions must based on the twenty two sixteen resolutions and the three offenses gardening gulf initiative and national dialogue outcome this is the this is what we want history the whole things of the one who control huge area of us russians from solder all the way to terrorize. and the world seems very happy with that if you have if you have there is controlling most in charge should you tell that they have to legitimize them to control most of this is not since we are talking about leggett the misuse of the government shows that we are talking about the choice of the people of yemen we believe in that we have to rebadge go back to the political verses that we had been on since two thousand and eleven based on the gulf initial and national outcome and we have to implement
5:19 pm
