crimes and stocks that. are also coming up on rouhani face off over sanctions trump tweets to do business with iran that you won't be doing business with the united states and the iranian leader calls us sanctions psychological warfare we'll go live to washington plus he's pulled out alive but time is running out to find survivors still trapped two days after indonesia's powerful earthquake that has left more than one hundred people dead and thousands of tourists are being evacuated from holiday islands off the coast of long book. plus the tragedy of yemen a nation in the grip of famine and death now the situation could get even worse for the people of yemen as forces battle over a port that is the main entry point for a.

i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program. and germany a court has found a couple guilty in a child abuse trial that has shocked the nation for years the couple sexually assaulted the woman's young son and made him available to pedophiles on the dark net in exchange for money the court sentenced the victim's mother to twelve and a half years in prison and her male partner to twelve years. twelve and a half years in prison for baron t. and twelve years plus subsequent preventive detention for clues john l. the court found both defendants guilty of repeatedly raping the woman's child and using the internet to advertise him for further abuse. what the boy had to go through here and. remains unimaginable more than two years of serious sexual crimes were committed against him plus forced prostitution in sixty cases according to the court the mother claimed her motive for allowing the abuse was initially to avoid

losing her new partner later the motivating factor was money perpetrators from home and abroad paid several thousand euros to rape the boy today the child is ten years old and lives under state care. has represented the young boy in court he's talked to her about the horrible events but not about everything. and see for sure how difficult this is for him because he doesn't comment on it and because his mother played a role in the events he can tell me about what happened about all the perpetrators but not about them other. people are shocked that a mother could actively participate in the rape of her own child and that a convicted pedophile could become a perpetrator again the mother's partner had already been in prison for four years for child abuse critics say authorities either missed important information or failed to pass it on a crucial chance was lost to help a boy who had already been betrayed by those who should have been looking after him

. and let's get more on this now i am joined by correspondent thomas barrow who has the very latest from germany and thomas you know as we just heard there one of the perpetrators was a convicted pedophile a court actually forbade him from coming in the vicinity of children and yet he did how could this happen. in the makes this case. such a shocking case there are many questions surrounding this issue a question that by the way will only now start to get resolved it was reported earlier today that the actual case that we've been talking about did not focus on all these difficult questions in all the possible problems that came hand in hand with this case only now will questions like the one that you were opposing will be will be resolved and by the way other questions that are also important the failure of authorities that is of course not the only shocking element to this case of

course we see a mother here a woman also involved as one of the perpetrators how unusual is this well it is unusual in the sense that politicians and even no law makers or people who are aware of this case have been mentioning that one of the most difficult elements in this case one of the most shocking elements in this case is precisely the fact that a mother has been convicted of a case related to her own son in other words that a mother can also be a criminal at the same time not something that high ranking politicians stress today and that's something that also will be part of this political analysis that will come now after this conviction so thomas what did german authorities have to say for themselves in all of this i mean what did they want to do now going forward and to prevent child abuse like this from happening again well there is an independent commissioner who deals precisely with these kinds of issues he obviously has spoken today about this case and he has mentioned that there are

certainly areas where authorities have to work one area for example is better cooperation something that we also saw in a report but also better funding of different instances in offices that have to deal with these kinds of of cases also of public awareness measures or something else that he suggested put additional should carry out and what he stressed in particular was that politicians who are dealing with these issues should not see this as an isolated regional case but something that has to be dealt with politically questions that have to be on study so that these cases are not repeated and authorities are better trained to deal with these issues thomas sparrow in berlin thank you. for now we turn to some other news and u.s. president donald trump has warned other countries and businesses against doing business with iran saying that doing so would remove any chance of trading with the united states it comes after he reimposed many of the sanctions that were in effect

before the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran it a tweet trump labeled the renewed sanctions as quote the most biting ever in post he went on to say that anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states and it seems that the warning is being heard at least by some in germany for example the car manufacturer dime or says that it is suspending its activities in iran until further notice meanwhile iranian president hassan rouhani has said that trump is trying to destabilize his country the sanctions will affect millions of iranians. these people will be hit hardest by the u.s. sanctions may choose to spin into being twenty 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 us 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 they could take up the president's offer to negotiate with them to give up their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs for you and really verifiably not under the owner's 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 no since. they want to launch psychological warfare against the iranian nation and create divisions among the people. not so-called psychological warfare it seems to be having an effect. on the intentions of 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 will be called. if the dollar goes up the price of everything will go up but in the end of

the people should have some patience and tolerance towards the sanctions and on the house. if it continues like this we won't have a good life in the future. that is wrong and he runs government is acknowledging this true with rouhani calling on iranians to unite in the face of the coming honshu. and for more i'm joined now by ben i'm ben talib lu of research fellow from the foundation for defense of democracies who focuses on iranian security and political issues welcome to you and i just like to begin because we saw from that report what is at stake for iran is this the type of pressure that could get tehran back to the table for a new deal with the u.s. well first and foremost thanks very much for having me yes this is exactly the sort of course of financial means basically economic sanctions that the u.s.

is looking to levy and also in force against tehran to drive them to a choice about their behavior in the region and the economy as well as to more importantly get them back to the negotiating table and in cope fully a more comprehensive nuclear deal as well as an agreement over its regional three teacher portfolios i mean so far tehran says though that they're not going back to the negotiating table so so i'd like to ask you as a follow on to that how hard do you expect the resumption of sanctions to hit iran because you know we don't only see the sanctions from the united states we also see this threat from the u.s. president saying that if you do business with iran you will not do business with the united states. that's absolutely right and that's the right kind of deterrent message for the commander in chief to send from the bully pulpit but also there are more important messages being sent through state department and treasury department roadshows there's been i think somewhere from twenty to thirty countries visited by these two departments warning them of the risks of doing business with iran warning

them of the weight and power of the u.s. secondary sanctions as well as some of the long standing issues that the u.s. has had with iran over the past thirty to forty years so i think ultimately it is this kind of pressure that is going to drive the iranians to change their calculus but it's not going to be seen anytime soon i think we need to at least have the november for sanctions which have the oil penalties in there and then some kind of net effect on their economy in twenty nineteen and so what do you make that of what the europeans are saying because i mean they are saying to iran now please do not withdraw from this deal please do not ask your nuclear program they say that really the future of security in the region and the future security in the world is a stake here are you concerned about the danger of an escalation in the region even militarily here could this plan backfire. well i think there's two vectors to your question here the first is perspective nuclear escalation of the other is a regional on the nuclear escalation file i think iranian officials particularly

the rouhani in serif camp know that they should not put their that they ought not to put their foot outside the boundary of the nuclear deal at least until november for and that's why you've seen iran adopt this cautious hedging strategy want to snoop their program where it threatens to do things it threatens to reconnect machines restart certain processes as leverage with the europeans to create some kind of non dollar denominated sanctions proof channel to spite washington for reinstating those sanctions but on the military file iran does have limited prospects for military escalation be to return to ballistic missile flight testing terrorism which is a method of statecraft for the islamic republic most unfortunately terrorism both on the european continent and in the middle east as well as a return to naval harassment in the persian gulf these are all options but all these options will be responded to and i think understands that ben and ben helping us to put it all into perspective thank you so much my pleasure.

now ben physical and is here and he's talking about the challenges when it comes to doing business with iran it just got a whole lot more complicated and it showed it's very you got that right washington's new sanctions do however indirectly affect european companies many of the multinationals to do business with iran also do business with the u.s. but president or trump says it's either one of the. three mm has spent the last two years trying to build up trade ties with iran his family owned company produces measuring devices that can be used to detect leaks in water and gas pipelines three hundred people depend on its worldwide exports including to iran it's something sieving does not want to give up he would like to continue trading with both the u.s. and iran. that is always what we are worried that our ability to do business with the us will be restricted that could mean fines or even ending up on

a blacklist so that we won't be able to export anything there many german companies have invested heavily in iran they had high hopes like here at the german iranian chamber of industry and commerce in tehran but all of a sudden that's come to an end. here it's not that i. after three years it was time for companies to begin earning profits one spin is really began to flourish. but now the sanctions have come into force again off key to the big german corporations are among those affected such as folks. i did say reining in commercial vehicle division order books for vans ambulances and taxis are full but the company is holding off on new investments and mercedes maker dime learned on stun tuesday that it was putting its expansion plans for iran on hold. its enough that. is there anything the e.u.

can actually do it says it wants to support his european companies. well of course european governments can make sure that financial transactions with iran remain possible at least state owed bang's could be forced to continuously provide those financial services also governments could protect exports and investments in iran something that the german government for example has promised to continue to do what the european union of course cannot do is prevent the american government from imposing fines against companies that do not follow the sanctions and even though the european union's blocking regulation is talking about the possibility of compensation for damages that european companies might face in case they do not follow the u.s. sanctions it's very unlikely that a company like diner for example to the government in the united states in order to

get those compensations looking regulation doesn't sound like it's all that. effective thank you very much conrad. facebook continues to cause concern about how private our dr is there are reports the sprawling media company has been trying to get its hands on bank account details. the dust is yet to settle on the facebook cambridge analytical scandal in which the data of millions of users were harvested to further political agendas and now facebook wants to collect detailed information on banks clients to broaden its range of services and increase user engagement on its messenger app which has one point three billion users the wall street journal says facebook has approached several major banks including j.p. morgan chase and citigroup but many of them have turned it down they don't want to pass client account data onto facebook facebook has denied its asking bands for

clients account data it says it simply works with banks to offer uses a connection to check their account balance or chat with the back. editor in chief at motherboard deutschland mucks joins us now. and what should we actually believe this time i do remember that last battle it wasn't all that long ago food through we talking about facebook on this show right well i think we have to remember that knows such thing going on as a facebook representative and a banking representative meeting in a dr raj and exchanging secret of hard drives. video is not really about what the a wall street journal headline kind of suggests that facebook is giving access to their users and then asking for the banking date of the banks and it was especially only but u.s. banks they don't know all of our banking history by now what this is about though

is facebook trying to become more and more of a platform where you do all your daily dealings on banking and financial transactions honestly one of those so does want you to spend more time on the platform so they get more of your data but so we would need our bank details at the end of the day wouldn't it whether or not from the banks all from us but i guess it's the point that they have to ask us and our banks exactly well interestingly we're talking about facebook messenger which. is a product that's not been talked about so much but it is one of the essential tools when it comes to product development and they already have a feature called marketplace we can purchase things and so it's only natural for facebook to try to do more with messenger and if you want to opt in on messenger. doing you'll you'll financial dealings on on messenger then yes you will and your banking details you will enter what you do on your bank account and then facebook will know that so actually getting you a history of banking transactions not that interesting for facebook but having

a perspective to have your data that there is an actual development if you were to opt in yes it sounds like what they're trying to do is copy the chinese apps that have mustered this system of retaining cost of as and making sure they stay in that one app and do everything pizza's telephone with friends and update their bank accounts where you program for into one of the most popular chinese called we chat and i think this it can barely has been doing this all along if you remember for example amazon it started as a book company and now they sell everything what do they not sell so facebook is just following that same strategy of trying to become an integrated platform for everything and yes that should concern data privacy as well and everyone who wants to use facebook should have that in mind but it's not that simple as with the chinese model because facebook is not a state state related company like. jeff thank you very much for coming in

extremely interesting stuff thank you. i'll have a full fifteen minutes of business for you next hour if it. sarah. and in the meantime we have some more news here are actually heading to indonesia where authorities are stepping up the search for earthquake survivors on the island of lombok the death toll stands at one hundred five but that's expected to rise it's moments like this that are fueling hopes of finding people alive check this out this man he actually got holmes from a collapsed mosque on monday about one hundred people had been praying there when the quake struck many got out but it is feared that more are still traps. a very lucky man there and we know that crews must also sort through the rubble of more than thirteen thousand houses across the island powerful aftershocks as well as cuts to power and communications in some areas are hampering the search for the

missing. oh i'm a little bit this is a scene 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. so we tried to open up an actual us a few times but a refrigerator was in the way and that made it difficult when we did manage to open access we then 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 in 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 but as you

say he's afraid of what comes next. but 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 who also caught up in the quake hundreds of still said to be waiting to be transported by boat from three small islands off long book. the authorities have organized extra flights. emergency services are also racing to get help to people stranded near the epicenter of the quake in the north and are appealing for doctors under nations to help the injured. get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world turkish president retching type want is to make a two day state visit to germany at the end of september he will meet chancellor angela merkel and germany's president after being perceived with military honors

german turkish relations have reached new lows in recent years over human rights and other issues. i'm a see international has called for an investigation into civilian deaths caused by u.s. led forces in the battle for the syrian city of raka last year the coalition has admitted killing seventy eight more civilians then earlier reported amnesty says that just is the tip of the iceberg rocko was the de facto capital of the so-called islamic state. police in india have rescued twenty four girls who have been forced into the sex trade the girls have been living in a care shelter and the political power for state of pradesh campaigners say that sexual and physical abuse is granted to the shelters where many children are defenseless and no one is there to protect them from mistreatment. well the united nations calls it the worst humanitarian crisis in yemen almost ten thousand

people have been killed and some twenty million people depend on aid for their survival a military alliance led by saudi arabia is trying to drive out iranian backed the rebels and the fighting has left the population on the brink of famine and now it is feared that their situation could get worse because of an ongoing offensive against the port city of queda which serves as a lifeline for aid supplies the u.n. world food program spent several days inside the besieged city and in the province of saddam our next report shows what they witnessed. about the lack of my luck is only eleven months old. and she is starving. keep. together with other children she's being treated at a makeshift medical center in rebel held sort of province. the lack of food effects nearly every family here most parents can't even cover their children's most basic needs. some

once the bread basket of the nation has become one of the most affected areas by the fighting. the saudi led coalition has destroyed marketplaces and infrastructure making food distribution much more difficult and dangerous. this used to be a family's home twenty three people were killed when it was hit by an airstrike the father was the only one who survived. people in saddam are living in constant fear of coming under attack. that at the women are scared to death. that every hour we see a plane. pushing out lying so so so much of the so that others will fall and that we want is peace and safety. until that. i had it when she said i was about to leave. the port city of how data many have already given up more than

half the population has lived here. hutu rebels are preparing for possible coalition attacks which could have a devastating knock on effect. here that sort of although there is right. data support is the country's main entry point for humanitarian aid ninety percent of food comes from abroad like this ship load of wheat from australia. disrupted or closed court would lead to even greater food insecurity it could ultimately cost them and as the consequence up around the city the remaining residents how data are growing increasingly worried. more than anything else the yemeni people now desperately need peace for its peace and stability we can start to get people back on their feet start to rebuild their

livelihoods. before it's too late a political solution is not in sight and with more than forty percent of the population under the age of fifteen the situation in yemen has now also turned into a children's emergency. and a quick reminder now before we go of the top stories that we're following for you here on new u.s. president donald trump has warned companies from other nations against the trading with iran after washington bring imposed sanctions on the country trump said doing so would cut off access to trade with the united states and the court has delivered its verdict in a trial that has shocked germany much a mother and her partner had sexually abused her son and made him available to pedophiles on the dark net she has been jailed for twelve and a half years and her male partner for twelve years. and with that you are up to date now. on news i'm sarah kelly in foreign lands thank you so much for watching
