this is. from berlin she pimped out her seven year old son to pedophiles online a child abuse case stuns germany and reveals the dangers of the dark knight 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 out trump and rouhani face off over economic sanctions trumped tweeting do business with iran and you won't be doing

business with the u.s. while the iranian leader is calling those same sins of psychological warfare plus colombia's capital sets the stage for the inauguration of newly elected president even duking the new right leaning chief of state could take a tougher line toward leftist rebels as he takes over the still unfinished peace process. it's good to have you with us we begin tonight 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 dark

net in exchange for money the court today sentence the victim's mother to twelve and a half years in prison and her 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 account of that and the severity of the mother's actions of course. staffan 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. 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 he'll 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 stuff and he's also raises questions about the local youth welfare office family court and police they mean has failed to pass on information that could have helped the boy earlier. the story tragic on so many times i'm 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 have to stand he's now about ten years old

and will he ever recover from this can we talk about him one day having a normal life sure he can fight his life will never be as it could have been if that didn't happen. 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 are having yes she was a perpetrator and she was a sadistic perpetrator. so actually today she did him a favor in a way because she accepted the sentence right away in court so 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 your old is he looking for a song from his mother despite the fact that she is also well put the traitor 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 here and what did people not recognize the signs of what happened 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 in 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 timbs we know offenders when you say we know with the news there are countries societies around the world where sexual offenders or put a list is made public. that is not necessarily the case. here in germany do you think though that the innocent are as protected as they should be in this country no they're not but they're also not protected and 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 is 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 direct 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 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 us in the very best way you need to be aware that we need your help and

that society needs to change. change laws also you will he 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 this 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 what 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 angels work they are protecting children with the child protection in geo in this it's in danger based here in berlin so you think you think weeks of drought here in germany have created prime conditions for a brush fire that burned numerous homes and injured at least twenty people in the west of the country hundreds of firefighters were deployed to put out the blaze which broke out next to a key rail line between cologne and frankfurt it quickly spread into a residential neighborhood in the city of moore we have this report. drawing undergrowth burning like to end what began as a small fire me a train tracks in the western town of zeke will soon developed into a major blaze at least eight houses called finance somewhat by the flames emergency

services evacuated an entire residential area with hundreds of residents affected dozens were injured. most of them were suffering from shock due to what's happened and the fires in the homes and gardens many were treated for circulates re problems we also have a few people who suffered burns some of them severe they had to be brought to local hospitals. in the course of the fire hasn't yet been determined or thoughts eason's equal can usually assumed a spark from a passing train had ignited drive vegetation but they later said on the courses were also being considered firefighters no say the blaze is under control but the important high speed rail link between cologne and frankfurt is still out of service officials say it's unclear when it will be reopened. hard for more of the story now i'm joined by our correspondent daniel gloopy is in the telling of zee for good evening to you dale so what is the situation there right now.

they have there and let me tell you that the entire neighborhoods here is still very much under shock just a few minutes ago we saw people that were living here in the street coming back to the houses taking a look at the houses and i guess you can see it in the background firefighters here are still working on you know what started here this afternoon at about three pm i was talking to a firefighter a little bit earlier he was telling me that in his career in the last twenty five years he has never seen something like that the good news we also just heard from the police that is the good news at least that just one person still remains in the hospital at the moment about one hundred people here from this neighborhood were evacuated they are staying tonight with friends some are staying here in the local elementary school but it is still not clear if they will ever be able to return to their house it's a terrible situation or we said earlier that these drought conditions contributed

to the calls possibly have authorities have they determine the exact cause of this fire. i know they have not determined the exact cause of what happened but we heard in the report there is this speculation that sparkle was hitting this embankment very close here to the houses right behind the houses there is this high speed railways rail a street between cologne and frankfurt so that's one speculation on the other hand we also heard firefighters earlier saying that there is this possibility that some people you know were not cautious and there might have been smoking there as well this could be another reason as well we're hearing that to morrow throughout the day there is going to be a press conference taking place besides firefighters we have also seen here a special members from the police who are already at this moment trying to find out

what really happened are the correspondent you know in the town of z. tonight doing a thank you. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world turkish president richard pryor pareto one is to make a two day state visit to germany at the end of september he will meet chancer are going to medical and germany's president after being received with military honors german turkish relations have reached new lows in recent years over human rights and migrant issues people in the kenyan capital nairobi have been marking twenty years since the first major international attack by al qaida in jihad east two hundred fifty eight people were killed when the militants carried out near simultaneous truck bomb attacks on the u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania. u.s. president donald trump has warned other countries and company use against trading with iran his message comes after he reimposed many of the same issues that were in

effect before the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran now in a tweet today trump labeled the renewed as saying the most biting ever imposed and he warned that anyone doing business with iran would not be doing business in the united states. all right difficult tough talk coming from trump there joining me now in the studio is cornelius out of our he is with the german council on foreign relations it's good to have you on the show so this is not putting germany or europe in an easy physician right now i mean is this an ultimatum you have to make a choice either you do business with iran or you do business with the u.s. well it would be the second ultimatum this year already the first one came in january and it was also formulated as nell to meet and this is kind of the condition that everyone has known for years that when u.s. sanctions hit you have a choice to be either in the u.s. market or elsewhere and certainly major european companies have already heard this

call they have begun to wind down their investments in iran ever since trump announced the u.s. withdrawal and may just today announced it would do this. same so for big companies there isn't much of a choice if there's business to do in the us they will do that and you mentioned dying were you know banning in iran's plans over these u.s. sanctions how united would you say europe is or is not when it comes to confronting these american sanctions well politically europe is united and you could see that from a statement yesterday from the e.u. foreign policy supreme of it becoming very near three foreign ministers of france germany and the united kingdom they all said that they oppose that they regret the u.s. decision that they oppose the u.s. policy towards iran so politically there is unity on this particular front the question is what is it that the europeans can actually do the blocking statute as it's called the regulation which went into force today is certainly not helping

major companies but it could do help for small and medium sized companies what they want to do business with iran and they don't have a share in the u.s. market but at the end of the day what you're wants to do along with russia and china. is to preserve this nuclear agreement does europe have the clout as well as the capital to do that in the face of american office issues. we will see so far europe is standing its ground and that's that's a welcome move for europe has been engaged on the iran file for more than a decade and it's been shepherding the negotiations until the successful conclusion and twenty fifty position and president in place to be the right you never have to do this before well i mean this is the statute which which we are now talking about dates back to the late one nine hundred ninety s. when for the first time europe was was standing up to the united states when it came to us sanctions but that was a different time that was a different president right so it's particularly painful right now but at least

there is unity on the european fund as i said and there is the intention to go down this course to to preserve as much as one. then from the steel when you when you look at the situation from the position of europe you're looking at the united states suddenly as an adversary is the here a movement among policymakers across europe to do to come up with a common approach to dealing with the u.s. and as an adversary long term i mean post trump well the u.s. is still an ally there are just differences over this this policy over other policies to i'm not denigrating this but all european countries see the united states as an ally as an ally is a difficult at the moment so it's rather about trying to find a way to work with the united states to find common ground again on trade policy on iran on climate policy on russia most of all so the europeans should try to find

this common ground to be united themselves and find this common ground so that the united states which is you know goes beyond the u.s. president there is a congress there are federal states to deal with trying to find policies and ways and united states is important for the europeans. and the bar with the german council on foreign relations mr out of our we appreciate your insights tonight thank you thank you thanks for having me. all right ben is here now he's got more on how these sanctions will affect visits you know this is a story with long legs just like your share lay their exactly now there was lots of jumping up and down here in germany jubilation when that you feel was struck and the sanctions started lifting it was almost a gold rush feeling back then two years ago with a new front here opening to investors except it takes time to make returns on most branches. benyamin seven 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 civil of him does not want to give up he would like to continue trading with both the u.s. and iran. it is always what we are worried that our ability to do business with the u.s. 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. you know it's. 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 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. for more on that let's go to a correspondent on wall street. sophie how much of a strain will this be on transatlantic ties in your opinion. well i would say a lot at the moment the other countries all faced tough decisions now on whether to continue trading was tehran and risk u.s. penalties or to fall in line with the trumpet ministration before sanctions on oil are due to take effect in six months the white house's policy has faced a lot of resistance from your of friends germany britain they all want to preserve

the iran do even without the united states so now the e.u. is trying to get exemptions for domestic companies and it is not clear yet if the white house is going to grieve the u.s. treasury said in a statement that the sake of argument would evaluate and make determinations with respect to a significant reduction exemptions but countries seeking such exemptions were advised to reduce the volume of their purchases from the even run during the one hundred a day wind down period critics are saying now champus ethen letting the situation for basically everyone for basically every country involved would you say it's clear that. what the u.s. government ultimate goal is sanctioning iran is. i think that's hard to say clearly washington is intensifying the pressure on iran let's hear what the national security adviser had to say john bolton said that ministrations approach

to iran and by the way north korea was the same mexican pressure on both governments to give up their persecutor deliverable nuclear weapons but a willingness to talk to see if the leaders are going to find a way out and a side effect with big impacts would be a rise in oil prices supply would become more scars with the left iranian oil in the market maybe american oil producers would benefit but all in all this is just part of triumph way of negotiating with other countries with pressure being brought up being the elephant basically in the china shop of international diplomacy and made quite a mess of that so future events thanks for your analysis. that just because in order to make it produces big cars and longer means it's making the big bucks that's the finding of a new study by the center for automotive research at the university of do spoke it

shows italian luxury carmaker ferrari is the profit leader a console that made sixty nine thousand euros on every single vehicle sold in the first half of twenty eight thousand that's pretty amazing stuff it was electric car make a tesla on the other hand loses an average of eleven thousand euros per vehicle and one of the company's still burning through cash that's what some seriously ambitious projects ahead of it german comic like sadie's make around three thousand euros on every cost sold that at the end of the day it's not just about the profit per vehicle it's also about the number of cars sold e.w. is in pole position there despite all those dirty diesels of course they're still trying to clear the air breadth of the dirtier than the thin thank you i'll have a lot of business for you later on. on the day and we'll be on a date with you today that's right thank you for columbia's new president is being
