this is. the pimp her seven year old son to pedophiles online and child abuse cases stuns germany and reveals the dangers of the dark the mother and her partner both sexually abuse the boy and made him available for sex to other men online today a german court sentenced both child abusers to prison tonight we ask what must be done to prevent a repeat of these horrific crimes also coming up trump and rouhani face off over economic sanctions tweeting do business with iran doing business with the u.s.

while the iranian leader calling those sanctions psychological warfare. also ahead . the. censors that's. the release of the beloved bears a new movie this after means pop up using to poke fun at the country's most powerful man. it's good to have you with us and we begin with a horrific crime a boy forced into prostitution sold on the dark net the seller his mother here in germany a court today 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 darknet

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. 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. the court to account of that and the severity of the mother's actions of course. dolphin in southwestern germany was where the man and woman offered customers on the darknet the chance to rape her son at least six men traveled from germany switzerland and spain to take advantage of that offer. is 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 is that his torture is over and he can see closure. live permanently where he is now but a possible negative his that we have to tell him that all contact with his mother is broken off. this just in case also raises questions about the local youth welfare office family court and police they may have failed to pass on information that could have helped the boy earlier if. you know the story tragic on so many joined tonight by the psychologist and director of the berlin beings child protection in innocence in danger it's good to have you with julia i want to ask you julie we were talking earlier about it what happens to children who are in these situations this young boy we understand he's now about ten years old and

will he ever recover from this kid can we talk about him one day having a normal life sure he can but his life will never be as it could have been ever that happen. child sexual abuse changes the future of a child but. they call themselves survivors because they're strong and they did survive he did survive the worst of it already the torture the selling the prostitution the fact that his mother does not protect him that his father is also one of the rapists rarely yes she was a perpetrator and she was a perpetrator. so actually today she did him a favor in a way because she accepted the sentence right away in court still and she said i want to give him a sign and one of the signs that children need is that the offender takes responsibility which they rarely do usually they sort of cry about themselves is

that in year old is he looking for a song from his mother despite the fact that she is also were perpetrated sure he is he still has his mom he probably still misses her she. children told me you know everything would be fine if you or she would stop doing that you know i love my dad are enough my mom i do you know i don't want to be separated from them so we need to be aware that he had to of course use right and what did did people not recognize the signs i mean what do we know i think that it's we don't want to know we as a teacher as a neighbor as whoever i don't want to be aware of the fact that child sexual abuse happens right in my neighborhood you know not on my watch out of my street not in my building not in my school it's always somewhere else but it's not it's right next to us so we need to be aware that it does happen amongst us that we know

victims and and that that's what makes it so difficult we know offenders if we know with tim's we know offenders when you say we know with vendors there are countries societies around the world where sexual offenders or put a list that is made public. that is not necessarily the case. here in germany do you think that the innocent are as protected as they should be in this country no they're not but they're also not protected as they should be in those countries where the fenders are put online because we need to be aware that those cases we're only talking about sentenced offenders and we know that only a fraction a tiny fraction of offenders is ever put to trial so that you know you have all these other still around and so if everybody focuses on the one who was put online you know i as a as an offender have haven't really easy to access children what about the dark

net and child pornography we understand there were videos made of this boy being raped there out there somewhere we assume and this would not have been possible in its severity had there been a dark nights right the internet that still media and the internet to really change the dynamics of child sexual abuse we have child sexual abuse images being traded now we have something like lifestream child sexual abuse where i sit in front of or in front of a computer and you know directs what's going on somewhere else in the in the world and we need to be aware that the spreading of these images really really affects survivors and we were a part of an international study conducted with survivors of these crimes and these survivors tell us you need to be aware that these images out there hurt in a very bad way you need to be aware that we need your help and that society needs to change. change laws also needs to shut down these streams

and these sources of bernanke graphy who do you who do you think is responsible for taking these images dale. i think that law enforcement is responsible i think that governments are responsible. it's for alliterative i know it is but yeah but then you know today we have to you know these industries can do so many things and i know for example one of the giants google is doing great stuff when it comes to trying to detect child sexual abuse images but i do believe google could do so much more and i do believe if governments put sort of work together and really confront the issue make a difference and one of the differences that all governments could make would be to put law enforcement in the right spot to be able to do their work which means more

manpower and better technology what do you often wonder as i said earlier you're doing an angel's work out here protecting children with the child protection in geo in this it's in danger based here in berlin so you thank you thanks. fears of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world at least twenty people were injured in western germany when a brush fire next to a railway line spread to nearby houses it's unclear what caused the fire but flames spread quickly because of dry conditions brought on by weeks of drought trains between frankfurt and cologne had to be rounded turkish president richard tell your peril one 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 received with military honors german turkish relations have reached a new lows in recent years over human rights and other issues. u.s. president donald trump has warned other countries and companies against doing

business with iran that comes after he reimpose many of the same sions that were in effect before the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran in a tweet today trump labeled the renewed its ancients as the most biting ever imposed and he war that anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business in the united states our next report takes a look at the european union's response. made in europe iran has signed contracts the billions of dollars worth of aircraft from air bus now the u.s. sanctions mean most of these contracts unlikely to be ripped up it's a grim prospect for europe's biggest builder and dyna is putting the emergency brakes on to its 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. sanctions and is encouraging european businesses to carry on dealing with iran protect your businesses from the effects of such sanctions of sanctions that u.s.

imposes outside. we believe that it is and it has to be up to the europeans in this case to the side with home to trade with brussels has a 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 company x. or disadvantaged in any way it's but if they do force to protect our economy with the credit guarantees investment guarantees in. 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. chinese censors have banned the release of christopher robin a new film adaptation about winnie the pooh and was not the first time that the fictional teddy bear has run into trouble in china where he's increasingly becoming

a symbol of resistance or more we want to bring in our social media editor. she lives it's good to see you who would have thought that we would be talking about winnie the pooh this way i mean what exactly happened why was the new winnie the banned. well read we don't know exactly chinese authorities are not giving us the exact reason there's a lot of speculation online and one reason could be the fact that china has a quota for international films that can be imported into the country every year so maybe this film christopher robin just didn't make the cut but there's another theory is that is actually more popular on the internet people believe that the film has been banned because there are many people online who often compared the appearance of winnie the pooh to that of the chinese president xi jinping and in fact this is not something that started this you know this is something that has been around for quite a while and in fact it all started with this i mean here is so.

big and on the other side you have winnie the pooh and his fred tigger there so since then means like this have been continuing to circulate online and also often used to criticize president xi jinping and even now when you use outlets are trying to report about this then they run into trouble in china for example the c. n.b.c. correspondent says when we just did the president xi versus winnie the pooh story our china based poll told us that suddenly our show blacked out on television there but. also have to be fair and say that the character of winnie the pooh has not been banned in china in fact if you're a fan you can buy something like a t. shirt with that character on it and there's no problem with that and what about social media users i mean how are they reacting online you know the banning of the plume. well it's difficult for the ones that are in china because since last year

even words like when you the poor are the image of that character are partly being censored on chinese social media so if there is one user for example on weight which is the chinese equivalent of a. witter he's complaining of ballots is that he says i'm speechless what did i do why did you take down my we chat accounts now we chat is like what's app he says please don't tell me it's because i explain to someone why when you the poor has been denied release and china now meanwhile in taiwan the foreign ministry's you hating in all of this i'm using an image here of their mascots all bear saying taiwan so bear is dismayed at the ban slapped on his cousin when he's latest film by censors in china make no mistake all bears that created it going taiwan and disney's christopher robin is screening national. you will hear that

created you go over there pretty quick you would think that she's in pain would have you know thicker skin to skin after all he does get along we don't want trump lish you thank you very much for giving us the latest on winnie the pooh. you're watching news from berlin i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news including winnie the pooh over by the day stick around for that. one organize a party it's a real policy because there's no rushing about everyone writes that the name on the room and then we parted. and you know what the great thing is you know and they. are.
