this is deja vu news coming to you live from the trial that shocked germany and expose the workings of the dark knight a mother and her partner sexually abused her son for yes i made him available to peter finds online of course delivers its verdict. coming up trump and the hottie face off over sanctions trump tweets. and you won't be doing business with us. any old sanctions. we get the latest from to head on.
2:01 pm
and indonesia steps up the search for victims survivors of footage from the robber but aftershocks hampered by. the death toll rises to a hundred and five for. a court in germany has found a couple guilty in a child sexual abuse trial that shocked the nation for years the couple sexually assaulted the woman's son and made him available to paedophiles on the dock net in exchange for money the court sentenced the victim's mother to try vs twelve and a half years in prison and up to twelve years. when christian al met his girlfriend and her son he was a convicted child sex offender fresh out of prison but still he found a way to move in with both of them despite being banned from doing so what followed
2:02 pm
was a nightmare for the child investigators reviewed evidence of rape bondage and degradation committed by christian and the child's own mother and also by other men the couple prostituted the boy online for two years and then across europe paid the couple thousands of euros to sexually assault him. both confessed to the crimes prior to today's verdict and a psychiatry's had declared them capable of full criminal liability christian l. and the boy's mother have now been sentenced to twelve and twelve and a half years respectively less than what public prosecutors have demanded additional suspects believed to have raped the child in exchange for money are being tried separately some have already been convicted the boy is now ten years old he lives with a foster family many have questioned how the authorities failed to protect a boy who was so clearly vulnerable to abuse. i'm joined now by
2:03 pm
simon young was following this case a very good a distressing case of abuse went on for yes it involved a convicted paedophile and the child's own mother how did they manage to get away with this abuse for so long. well this couple built up a very successful screen of lies around what they were doing of course the authorities were aware of them were monitoring them perhaps treating them really as people who needed help they were aware that this was a single mother living on not much money and so on but partner as has been said shouldn't have been in the house at all he's a convicted previously convicted paedophile but in fact the judge in that previous case had said that he deserved a second chance so clearly he was very plausible in court you know and and perhaps the authorities were naive he was able to get access to another child and this boy
2:04 pm
over a period of about two and a half years was great prosecutors say more than fifty times. it seems they were family is at levels because so many parties in the country to prevent just this kind of crime what went wrong here. yeah it seems that the different or storage is the youth work is the family courts and so on didn't work very well together they didn't exchange information properly so that for instance even when the boys' school raised the alarm no action was taken so even while the abuse was going on the caseworkers were sort of writing reports working through the case not really looking into the welfare of this child and indeed state prosecutors have said that they are going to take legal action against some of the youth workers who
2:05 pm
should have protected the child in this case and someone before we talk any further let's take a look at how the doc net operates as we've had under was where child prostitution is openly advertised sharing of photos and videos of child sexual assault is rife the document is unfamiliar in fact to most people those who access disturbing material there are usually looking for it. the dark net where photos and videos of child sexual abuse of rape are exchanged and professionally organized the websites are hidden making it hard for police to investigate child sex abusers you know. photos and videos of child sexual abuse online is not something someone would find by chance not even on the darkness a person looking for this material including on the darkness it would have to know how to find special sites how to access them whom to contact where to be invited
2:06 pm
for example. believes the m was such a site german investigators uncovered the platform in the summer of twenty seventeen those wanting a user account had to upload images of child sexual abuse themselves site operators knew that this way even police would be liable to prosecution in many countries a treacherous way for perpetrators to shield themselves investigators found an inventory of photos and videos of children being raped sorted according to the torture of babies toddlers or young girls for example the fight against this kind of global network remains a challenge for police all over the world. deal with internet providers the market leaders have committed themselves to actively being on the lookout for images of sexual abuse of children and reported to essential i didn't. from the us we receive several hundred tips each day which we can pursue further overall the ip address is the first and most useful place to start an investigation into the
2:07 pm
perpetrators identities. but the exchange of these images takes place not only on the dark net it's increasingly taking place openly on the internet messaging services or chats and twenty seventeen about ten million tips about child sex abuse images were sent from the us alone to the rest of the world and enormous amount for police investigators all over the world. so written into correspondence on some of what is the german government doing to crack down on try a sexual assault for the dock net. well a meter as was suggested there has to be a case of international cooperation because this is a global phenomenon as is everything to do with the internet of course and there have been successes such as that case with the elysium platform which is now gone to trial and one thing prosecutors have said is that they sometimes face the problem of data protection rules if they're required to delete evidence too quickly
2:08 pm
of course they can lose valuable digital evidence in that way another problem that they have is that in order to be credible and move around on these platforms and be sort of allowed to sort of snoop around to see what's there they themselves have to upload some kind of pornographic material or child abuse images and of course that raises all sorts of ethical and practical problems it's been suggested it could be done with computer generated images but it's a difficult not to crack and of course everything to do with the dot net is very secret right simon young thank you very much for that tonight on the news u.s. president donald trump is warned other countries and businesses against doing business with iran saying doing so would remove any chance of trade with his country and this comes after he reimposed many of the sanctions that were in effect before the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal in a treaty posted just a short while ago trump labeled the renewed sanctions as the most biting ever
2:09 pm
imposed he went on to say that anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states. and that seems that warning is being heard at least by some in germany a manufacturer a diner says it's suspending its activities in iran often for the notice meanwhile iranian president hassan rouhani has said trump is trying to destabilize this country the sanctions will have an impact on millions off iranians. these people will be hit hardest by the u.s. sanctions maces suspended in two thousand and fifteen after years of suffering by iranians now brought back by the trumpet ministration the sanctions target the iranian financial system including government purchases of u.s. dollars the trading of gold and not the precious metals and of industrial goods and software to stop their washington hopes the sanctions will force tehran back to the negotiating table well they could take up the president's offer to negotiate with
2:10 pm
them to give up their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs for you and really verifiably not under the onerous terms of the iran nuclear deal which really are not satisfactory but iran's president hassan rouhani says offering negotiations while at the same time imposing sanctions makes noise since. they want to launch psychological warfare against the a rainy a nation and create divisions among the people. not so-called psychological warfare it seems to be having an effect. on the entire sanctions have definitely had an impact whether it's on the currency exchange rates all the price of gold they have resulted in the loss of many jobs because you know if the dollar goes up the price of everything will go up but in the end the people should have some patience and tolerance towards the sanctions. on the house. but you know.
2:11 pm
if it continues like this we won't have a good life in the future. that he said it on and he runs government is acknowledging this to read through honey calling on a rainy ends to unite in the face of the coming hardship. and for more on the story i'm joined by eric randolph the ted on correspondent for if the i think we just saw what's at stake for iran what impact do you think these sanctions will actually have a countries like china india and even the e.u. say that essentially ignored them. while a lot of the damage had already been done trumps hot rhetoric because the currency the last few months that's been. quite bad for one of the facts is that there were already u.s. sanctions in place all along that stopped a lot of foreign major impacts from doing any business so iran it never bet against usually in the way that it hoped for the new you could do. these sanctions on key
2:12 pm
sectors in the ones that really are the ones that come in november when iran spoils so it's going to be a factor in the not so obviously a positive lifeline for the country but i take it that the u.s. is is that these sanctions would bring iran to its knees and make it open to negotiating is that likely. but it's a very difficult position for a leader is there is going to be economic pain and there already is economic trouble across the country seeing protests in the last few days and strikes. but the problem is that pride is at stake. as well find it very difficult to return to the negotiating table when trump has been attacking rest of the trying to undermine the system try to mind their economy for so long. it is not the kind of country that takes that kind of thing lying down. having to swallow
2:13 pm
the pill if it has to the told the president a house in doha he's taken quite just a top stance of lessons at the united states he said the u.s. is internationally i summited with its sanctions but how much do these developments rican hosmer honey he was a blunt point of view despite a reformer and the country. around his position is extremely weak now on his right flank you can so to say he was naive to ever trusted the us and now he has egg on his face the reformist plax see that now his is all i did that you could at least build up the economy even that's not working and he hasn't shown any real progress on the political reforms that he promised the one saving grace might be that these sanctions who force the government to finally act. cleaning up again we've already seen some arrests for corruption. to finally start
2:14 pm
bringing in some reform measures so we'll see whether the pressure actually brings some positive positive evidence to the iranian people and then doff in the iranian capital tehran thank you very much. police in germany have evacuated parts of frankfurt airport after want an authorised person and to the boarding area two levels at terminal one were cleared and boarding stopped passengers have been told to expect flight delays and frankfurt is one of europe's biggest airports serving destinations around the world just to recap go a similar security breach at munich airport resulted in two days of flight cancellations and cost an estimated one million euro. and of course we'll keep an eye on that story and bring you more as soon as it becomes available let me now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the world in venezuela a rally was held in support of president nicolas maduro after an alleged attempt on

celsius across parts of the country. turning now to indonesia which is stepping up the search for survivors on the island of lombok the death toll stands at one hundred five but that's expected to rise rescues assertion through the rubble of the more than thirteen thousand houses that were damaged on the island powerful aftershocks as well as scots to power and communications in some areas are hampering the search for the missing. oh. this is a seed that few thought possible. three days after the earthquake struck a woman was pulled alive from the rubble of a building. rescuers initially thought no one could have survived the collapse of the structure. but then they had a sound coming out of this hole. trying to open up an access a few times but
2:17 pm
a refrigerator was in the way and that made it difficult when we did manage to open access we don't heard a voice. the victim wasn't pinned down by anything and there was a crawl space. for the rescue was a brief moment of joy. but the nightmare elsewhere is far from over. and this village not a single building has remained intact the people here are among twenty thousand survivors now with nowhere to live and not enough to eat or drink one village's says he's afraid of what comes next. and i don't think it will be easy to return to normal life because the trauma was extraordinarily bad we dare not sleep indoors what's our plan for the future we don't know. thousands of tourists were also caught up in the quake hundreds are still said to be waiting to be transported by boat from three small islands off. the authorities

2:21 pm
surplus like the us president almost from for example but the international monetary fund has also long criticized the imbalance and it's not sure germany has done enough to contractors. international trading partners have long begrudged germany its trade balance the country sells much more than it buys engineering and technology among its top exports and the i.m.f. says that's helping to fuel global trade tensions it warns that surplus could hurt global financial stability in the long run today's figures from the german statistics bureau show that in june this year germany exported goods worth more than one hundred fifteen billion euros up nearly eight percent on june last year and imported around ninety four billion euros worth that's the highest monthly import value since foreign trade statistics were first published in one thousand nine hundred fifty and just over ten percent up year on year but ahead of these numbers the i.m.f. has been saying germany isn't doing enough to correct the imbalance its chief
2:22 pm
economist says it's nothing to be proud of in contrast to the common assumption a large trade surplus is not necessarily a sign of strength it can rather be seen as evidence of weak domesticity investment the i.m.f. and the european commission have long urged germany to boost domestic demand by lifting wages and investment to reduce what they call global economic imbalances us president donald trump has also repeatedly criticized germany's exports strength felt and other economists say that countries in which the balance is too high like germany should increase government spending by investing in infrastructure or digitalisation for example that would encourage companies to invest more domestically rather than looking abroad. facebook is after your financial data and it's asking banks for uses financial information like credit card transactions and account balances according to the wall street journal
2:23 pm
facebook wants to use the data for new features in its messaging so calm balance updates of fraudulence it's also asked several financial service providers to discuss potential services it could pose for bank customers the report is coming at a time when facebook has been under fire for privacy concerns. well within the studio and now as a. tech editor who has looked into this particular story. what has facebook got to offer to box well from this statement that we've read from facebook so far basically looks like they're attempting to partner with a lot of major financial institutions in the united states and kind of take some of their customer service. work that the banks do and tie it into facebook's core service basically they want what does that mean if i were if my bank has their so there's a transaction that i don't like and instead of talking to my back i'm talking well to a certain extent yes i mean they don't want had to have access to all users transaction
2:24 pm
information instead they want users when they're looking for customer service in their banks to turn to facebook messenger their chat app they're hoping to load chat bot so little programs that can speak or actually talk on behalf of the bank into their messenger service and have users turn to them when they need customer service from their financial institutions so they're not the facebook is not after all bank details to to predict you know all consumer behavior. and you know right now they say they're not i mean that was initially reported by the wall street journal but facebook has walked that back saying they're really just looking to take on some of the customer service offerings from the banks and tiny and to facebook more directly so does that mean that facebook is going into take no no it really isn't like i said this is just kind of goes to. facebook's focus on customer service i mean facebook right now is kind of stagnating in the western world so they're trying to find new ways to kind of deepen the engagement their
2:25 pm
customers have they want the customers not just to post on information there but also to turn to facebook for different type of them services and while this is nestle a financial attack it's really kind of focusing in on the customer service options that they're hoping will increase in gauge meant among their user base why is facebook looking to deepen the user experience experience all the user engagement why do these are mean i don't know two billion people on facebook already well you're right there are two billion people on facebook but this is really kind of focusing on the western world so our north america and europe because well they have kind of reach market saturation i mean if you live where we live in central europe or in north america if you're the type of person to have a facebook account you already have one so they're using numbers aren't growing in the western world that's why in order to keep that growth that investors are looking for they need to find new ways to get people to spend more time on facebook in a more in-depth way what else can facebook gain from that from the deepening experience can we be sure after the recent events that bank details the you know how much
2:26 pm
money we are and how much debt we are is that safe with facebook you reckon well that is kind of the million dollar question right now i mean we know facebook is taking the camera analytical analytics scandal quite seriously they have according to some reports employ hundreds of new coders and they're hoping to really attack attack that problem head on when it comes to the user data security but it's anyone's anyone's guess right now if they're really managing to get a grasp on that right now we don't really know until thank you very much thank you . and here is a reminder off the top stories we're following you for you here on g.w. as delivered its verdict in a trial that shocked germany a mother and sexually abused her son and made him available to the files on the so-called doc next she's been in jail for two and
