8:02 pm
i'm sara kelly welcome to the program we begin in germany where a court has found a couple guilty in a trial of sexual abuse 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 at 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. this woman and her partner made her son suffer unbelievable atrocities rape severe sexual abuse forced prostitution all at the age of seven for that they'll spend hears behind bars. she'll be given a little more prison time than he will this is simply due to the fact that he provided us with comprehensive information to the court to the accountant that is so vague and the severity of the mother's actions of course. because
8:03 pm
of good. stuff and in southwestern germany was where the man and woman offered customers on the darknet the chance to rape her son at least six men travelled from germany switzerland and spain to take advantage of that offer. the boy's lawyer the boy is now ten and she says he's doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances he lives with a foster family. one positive that his torture is over and he can see closure live permanently where he is now but a possible negative is that we have to tell him that all contact with his mother is broken off. the shelf and he's also raises questions about the local youth welfare office family court and police. failed to pass on information that could have helped the boy earlier. and absolutely horrifying case and we're joined now by
8:04 pm
yulia fun violet who is a psychologist and the director of the innocence in danger a non state organization working against sexual abuse thank you so much for joining us this evening my pleasure in your experience what must the victim be going through right now and what will he face in his future well actually i think right now he's relieved because he's you know out of this really terrible situation he's probably also sad not to be with his family any longer which is something that we don't take into consideration you know he will probably most probably miss his mother because she is his mother she's the only mom he ever had. and he will need time to get on his way and he needs lots of support and he hopefully has a foster family that knows what they're doing i want to talk a little bit more about the mother because that's one aspect of this case which has been so shocking to so many it's said that in fact one of the most grotesque rapes
8:05 pm
was committed by her. if you know what we think about women they're not normally put in this category of sexual abusers were you surprised to hear that she was one of the masterminds behind this no actually i just visited the canadian center for time protection a couple months ago. and they had a huge conference where one of the law enforcement officers was talking about female perpetrators and what he stressed was that it was always a surprise to him when it turned to be the mom instead of the dead and so we need to be aware of our blind spots and we need to be aware that women are capable of committing child sexual abuse they are capable of being very strategic and very sadistic about it and there was a study done in germany where for forty six point four percent of victim boys talk about abuse by women and ten point five percent of girls. wow ok so
8:06 pm
those are quite statistic is there it's also understood we know that the victim did talk about this apparently what should teachers friends relatives be looking out for the thing is that we need to be aware that child sexual abuse happens around us every day that's how it is that's a real that reality we have to face and every teacher as a neighbor as anybody if i start to worry about a child and if i start to fantasize about the fact that he or she might be sexually abuse i should not put it aside and say i'm not that's probably not like it or i should get help i should call a counseling center i should call the youth welfare system and say there's a child may be in danger and then they these professionals should know what the heck they're doing and the system really failed this boy didn't it let's talk about the other perpetrator for just
8:07 pm
a second because this is also quite shopping shocking the mother's partner also one of the rapists a convicted pedophile he actually served time he had a parole officer the parole officer knew he was around children how could this possibly have happened and she reported this back to the courts but nothing happened and then when i was taken out of the family in the family court put him back in the family because the mother said she would take care of the safety of the child i think it happened because people don't want to recognize that these crimes do happen in the midst of us and that there are cases that we need to be aware of there are horrific cases of child torture and child sexual abuse right in the middle of us and really need to be prepared to deal with that and if we're not prepared to deal with it if we're not prepared to think the demonstration that might be going on we will miss it because people say oh yeah it's most likely you know even if something's going on it's most likely not as bad. so we don't do
8:08 pm
anything but we asked a question at the beginning of our program and i'd just like to put it to you we said do authorities know better how to prevent such crimes from happening again based upon your assessment of what is happening with the authorities here in germany what is happening in you know just average civilian community is you see an awakening perhaps people are a bit in the in more enlightened and what would you advise going forward in order to reach that level where more of these cases can be prevented i think in theory they know but the theory is one thing and then when it really becomes reality so if you have to deal with that mother who is a perpetrator or if you have to deal with the sadistic offender who sells his stepson to others who do whatever we tend to push it away so what we need to we need to step up be courageous look and do what we
8:09 pm
are taught to do and not pretend that life is a way that we don't know that it's not so basically we all should be very much aware that this case could have happened anywhere in germany it's not a particular horrifying case it could happen anywhere and everybody around children should be. training him or herself to be able to protect children especially because the darkness you know this is this is the area where the deals were made the money was exchanged the pornography was released. that must present a challenge because that's borderless absolutely so we need to be aware and i'm happy you're raising this issue we need to be aware not only was this boy tortured and raped it was also recorded and spread worldwide and the canadian center again for child protection created
8:10 pm
a web crawler called iraq which crawls the web for police identified child abuse of images and they every day they send out seven hundred take their own and notice notices worldwide so this is the huge dimension and it's furthers or stresses the suffering of the victims but in this case we have to be thankful for it because these guys were caught on an international law enforcement sting that took apart one of these rings operating with child abuse of images and that's how they finally got to the boy and were able to rescue him ok those day in court they have received justice some would say twelve years you know for both of them and we thank you so much you'll be a phone via larry who is a psychologist and the director of the innocence in danger of non-state organization working against sexual abuse we appreciate your perspective this is.
8:11 pm
let's turn to some other news now u.s. president donald trump has warned other countries and firms against doing business with iran it comes after he reimposed many of the sanctions that were in effect before the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran in a tweet trump labeled to be renewed sanctions as quote the most biting ever imposed he also warns that anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states. our next report takes a look at the e.u.'s response. made in europe iran has signed contracts for billions of dollars worth of aircraft from air bus now the u.s. sanctions mean most of those contracts unlikely to be ripped up it's a grim prospect for europe's biggest aircraft builder and dima is putting the emergency brakes on too is announced in a press release that it had suspended activities in iran until further notice the e.u. has reiterated its rejection of u.s.
8:12 pm
sanctions and is encouraging european businesses to carry on dealing with iran protect european businesses from the effect of secondary sanctions of sanctions that u.s. imposes outside of its that we believe that it is and it has to be up to the europeans in this case to the side with the trade with brussels has little leverage against washington but the e.u. wants to help european entrepreneurs in iran. we can hope that the americans won't apply sanctions to european companies or disadvantaged in any way but if they will be forced to protect our economy with the credit guarantees investment guarantees you know. germany in particular had long hoped for good business with iran but in recent months german exports to tehran have already fallen by four percent. so this pressure from trying to get iran back to the table for
8:13 pm
a new deal with the united states i put that question to ben and ben taleb a research fellow from the foundation for defense of democracies who focuses on iranian security and political issues. 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 copely 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
8:14 pm
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 longstanding 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 then 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 stake
8:15 pm
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 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 and b. to return to ballistic missile flight testing terrorism which is a method of statecraft for the islamic republic most unfortunately terrorism both
8:16 pm
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 more now on the prospects of doing business with iran ben fizzling joins us it just got a look tricky is there or if not impossible and doesn't really make much business sense anymore washington's new sanctions affecting european companies through many of the multinationals do business with both the u.s. and run for president donald trump says it's either one or the other. team 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 something's living does not want to give up. he would like to
8:17 pm
continue trading with both the u.s. and iran. 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 to get it big german corporations are among those affected such as folks. at it's a rainy and commercial vehicle division order books for vans ambulances and taxis
8:18 pm
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. is there anything the e.u. can actually do it says it wants to support these european companies. well of course european governments can make sure that financial transactions with iran remain possible at least state owed bangs 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
8:19 pm
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 diana 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. or business come first to indonesia there is so much ben we're starting actually in indonesia as ben mentioned 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 here's a look at one dramatic rescue this man pulled from a collapsed mosque on monday about one hundred people have been praying there when the quake struck many got out but it is feared that dozens more are still trapped.
8:20 pm
so that man is one of the lucky ones but 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 communication in some areas are hampering the search for the missing. all of us hope 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. so we tried to open up an access a few times but a refrigerator was in the way and that made it difficult but 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
8:21 pm
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. but i don't think it'll 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 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
8:22 pm
doctors under nations to help the injured. the united nations calls its have the worst humanitarian crisis in the world 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 iran back to the rebels and the fighting has left the population on the brink of famine now with fear that their situation could get worse because of an ongoing offensive against the port city of hold data that serves as a lifeline for aid supplies the u.n. world food program spent several days inside the perceived city and in the province of saddam our next report shows what they witnessed. total i'm talking about how the law is only eleven months old. and she is starving. keep. together with other children she's being treated at

would cut off access to train with the united states. but chinese censors have banned the release of christopher robin a new film adaptation of the beloved story about winnie the pooh it's not the first time that the fictional teddy bear has run into trouble in china where he's increasingly becoming a symbol of resistance for more on that let's bring in our social media editor lisbeth's show who is standing by for us to tell us what exactly has happened here i mean winnie the pooh everyone loves winnie the pooh why is he banned. well there unfortunately we don't know as the chinese authorities are not giving a reason for that so as you can imagine a lot of speculation on the line so one reason could be the fact that china china has a quota for international films that are allowed to be imported into the country every year or so maybe christopher robin just didn't make the cut this year and nothing here is the other theory that is more popular on the internet right now is that the
8:32 pm
chinese president xi jinping that's not a like to be compared to the character winnie the pooh is something that many people especially in china have been doing over the last years in fact it all started with this image here this is a meme of that became popular in two thousand and thirteen where she's in ping was on a state visit in washington and there you can see him alongside the former president barack obama and since then really means that compassion paying to winnie the pooh have become very popular online and even right now amnesty international online is saying maybe this is the reason why she isn't being all white china has banned the release of this film in the country because of this constant comparison between that character and the president now reporting about this ban is very difficult especially in china as this see n.b.c.
8:33 pm
correspondent says he says on twitter when we just did the president she versus winnie the pooh story china vase folx told us our show is sad and leave blacked out on television there now and to be fair sarah we have to say that christopher oven is not the first disney film that is being banned this year in china and the other one earlier this year was a wrinkle in time and then we also mention that's the character when you the who is not prohibited in china in fact people can buy merchandise for example t. shirts with the teddy bear they're printed on that shirt ok so clearly a big conversation happening about this online so what goes through some of the reaction. well of course people in china are talking about it or at least some are trying to do that because even the words when you the poor winnie have been censored and partly censored since twenty seventeen so it does becoming difficult
8:34 pm
for people really to talk about this ban online for example one user or nuevo which is the chinese equivalent of twitter this is what he says so talking about this issue he says i'm speechless what did i do why did you take down my we chat account we chat is similar to what's up please don't tell me it's because i explain to someone why we need the pool has been denied relief in china so these are just some of the reactions that we're seeing online right now elizabeth show thank you so much. you're watching news still to come on the program how an unusual mission is underway to win over young people with classical music in a place that rarely gets to see such performances the tunisian test. and. as the a carnival film festival heads into its homestretch problem maryl from our culture
8:35 pm
task will be here to tell us what makes the swiss movie events unique and what films to look out for. but first europe continues to bake in the heat and ben physical and i can certainly vouch for that and to get an interesting story coming up on some of the people who are actually profiting from the heat but first of all the heat is on facebook it continues to cause concern about how private out daughter is there are reports the sprawling media company has been trying to get its hands on a 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 bands 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.
8:36 pm
morgan chase and citigroup but many of them have turned it down they don't want to pass client account data on to facebook facebook has denied its asking banks who 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 motherwell deutschland. joins us now. and what should we actually believe this time i do remember that last battle it wasn't all that long ago true true we keep 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
8:37 pm
their users and then asking for the banking date of the banks and it was especially only brought us 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 facebook does want you to spend more time on that 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. 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 was. doing jojo financial dealings on on messenger then yes you will end your
8:38 pm
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 a natural 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 in making sure they stay in that one app and do everything pizza's telephone with friends and update their bank accounts yeah you program for into one of the most popular chinese apps called we chat and i think this incrementally 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. it's not that simple as with the chinese
8:39 pm
model because facebook is not a state state related company like. to thank you very much for coming in extremely interesting stuff thank you. for the hot weather hitting us temperatures pushing through the forty degree mark in parts of europe fall is struggling the vast majority here don't irrigate they depend on rain but the hot summers come as a blessing for visiting they're expecting an excellent vintage and have started harvesting way ahead of time. hot dry weather just right for grapes that's why this summer has been perfect after too much rain last year. due to the temperatures the grape harvest has already begun here in the famous ryan heston region for example. one of the special is that production started about two weeks earlier this year. with harvesting at the beginning of august already. will be finishing today. and the young wine will be in the shops by
8:40 pm
friday but that's great the market is waiting for it the twenty one hundred bar that are off. like many here the vols family near mines specialize in a partially fermented young wine called feet of ice or because of the sun the grapes are especially sweet this year they yield a fruity wine with a high level of alcohol. german wine makers are expecting the twenty eighteen vintage to be exceptional they're among the few german businesses that might hope to profit from climate change. and the average annual temperatures are getting higher we can see that. four feet the shard some forty years ago going on since the one nine hundred seventy six we also had a very hot and dry year talking bar so it doesn't mean that it's happening more and more often now because. there me at alpha maybe next summer will be very cool and wet let's wait and see. if the climate is getting hotter and drier going
8:41 pm
his'n vineyards plan to start growing new varieties of grapes of all family have set their eyes on red wines. because they are now and just because in order to make a produces big cause no longer means it's making the big bucks that's the funding's of a new study by the center for automotive research at the university of just book it shows italian luxury carmaker ferrari is the profit leader perkasa old it made sixty nine thousand euros on each vehicle sold in the first half of twenty eight team it's a lot it was electric a make a tesla loses an average of eleven thousand euros on every single vehicle one of the company's still burning through cash and it's got some seriously ambitious projects ahead of it and could be even going private. jet uncomment his like mercedes make around three thousand euros on every cars sold but at the end of the
8:42 pm
day it's not just about the profit per vehicle of course it's also about the number of console them v.w. is in pole position there despite all those dirty diesels now if you've ever tried driving through absa dam you'll know it's like a game of super mario brothers things jumping out at you left right and center you've got to have one foot on the brake all the time but there are all sorts of new digital solutions to ease the traffic. amsterdam is doing everything it can to prevent cars from driving into the city center but traffic is still a problem that's because it's not just cars filling up the streets as garbage collector robert slow but explains. the situation in amsterdam has just gotten worse with the increasing number of tourists you've got to be even more careful. with so many street cars taxis cyclists and pedestrians on the road it helps to keep the number of trash collecting trips to
8:43 pm
a minimum so these garbage trucks only go out as needed when the underground bins that store residents trash throughout the city are full but how do trash collectors like robert know when these bins need emptying. you can see it on his tablet it's linked to sensors inside the trash bins and calculate the most efficient route before he sets out that. work has gotten a lot easier in the past ten years we used to collect garbage bags and throw them into the trucks now we operate a crame we don't get dirty and we're a lot more efficient. we were sure. this is still a pilot project but because it's so successful the plan is to use the system across amsterdam leoni viren from the city's public works department is now looking for a company to carry out the job which offers many benefits. and all the big
8:44 pm
