humiliated and every day he gave me clothes that didn't cover my body i could no longer bear the rape and torture so why escaped but i was too and. in two thousand and fourteen years edis in northern iraq fled i asked militants. well you see the men were killed some three thousand girls and women were taken as slaves. not here mourad went on to become the un's first goodwill ambassador for survivors of human trafficking. denis mukwege is a renowned gynecologist who treats victims of sexual violence he has helped tens of thousands of women at his hospital in east congo. as a weapon of war is dish humanizing and he merely ating in need of a weapon which has plagued east condo for decades here the offenders go largely

unpunished. we won't be intimidated men and women must stand up together against rape and. move quicker has already received a number of international awards the nobel peace prize now the crowning achievement in his career. for more we're now joined by merit is small his an executive director at yaddo which is a global yazidi organization thank you for joining us more of islam so i want to focus on nadia mourad been announced as one of the peace prize laureates as we've reported does that come as a surprise to you. thank you so much for having me it's actually does that come as a surprise we expect. that she will get the nobel prize even last year and the year before or the remark world war that's you. bet of course the nobel

prize is a surprise and it's something that. i want to her for not your more unity for iraq region for the for everyone who suffered those most atrocities we are very much their spirit and we are very much under the price for those who might not know nadia morag can you tell me what have contribution has been in raising awareness and fighting sexual violence especially in conflict zones. it's really when i get into the scene the international community was not moving on the situation with the atrocities against the east or christians or other my notice of iraqi and of the mass as it was for making writing out your words when she spoke of this could be councils and after that then that brought attention to what it was doing and really it showed how ugly isis was and how horrible it was that they're affecting people

and that really move the i believe it moved international community to act against this is military but more than that i think also. has this look just the way it is and that really i think made a lot of people probably because of thousands of people to do support in watching our support for isis which you this was a lot on this issue which has a lot of support from from many houses of the communities which they were claiming they were supporting. and yes actually it's really been rooted in the national committee but also socially i think this sunni communities around the world to take a stand against isis. more and is now you are the direct obvious which as they mentioned is a global yazidi organization what does this prize for nadia mean to your community . may community have suffered greatly over the past four years a community that found itself without a place that basically on the road for their lives the women were taken into

slavery easy children were taken away from their family members and he may were executed re-organisation early have documented more than forty mass graves of the people including the mother of nadia more at six of brothers were killed in st are those mysterious of course still remaining and i'm still an unprotected the is it a community also we still have three thousand people from our women and children who are lost who were taken into captivity and they were never brought back our community also. also is basically displaced more than eighty percent of the city unable to go back so this means a lot for i mean this is we had a small community in the world we don't make a big political power we don't make a big population of parts on the land but i think you know this is what mission for the weakest among us as human beings for two weeks or more of us as communities you

know i think has a great message right message for iraq. we hope that that will rule that will move toward more consistency and partnership and look toward the future for peace and i hope now there will be the catalyst of for this peace more ad it's now in houston thank you for making time to talk to us you're very welcome thank you. to the united states now where the senate has held a first procedural vote on president trump supreme court candidate senate has not only voted to advance the nomination of judge brett kavanaugh by fifty one votes to forty nine that he is one step closer to a lifetime appointment on the country's highest court a second final vote to confirm his nomination is expected on saturday this comes after several women accused of an all sexual misconduct and one of those women christine blousy forward testified about alleged sexual assault before the senate judiciary committee last week. stephens is in washington and he

joins us now with the latest stephanie what does this all mean this is the first procedural vote. well that was a so-called cloture vote and what that means is that with this vote the senate made sure that the debate time for until the next vote can happen is limited to thirty hours maximum that means senators have now up to thirty hours time to debates. the case kevin so to speak and with this procedural vote it is now possible tomorrow or within or after thirty hours to vote to have a up and down vote on the nomination of mr cavanaugh as supreme court judge so looking at it from this end does this mean it's a close case is does he have a shoo in is he guaranteed this position or could the wavering republicans for

example have an impact on the vote tomorrow. close case by no means oh no you nailed it there is still three republicans who are wavering who. reserve themselves some wiggle room in decision making if they want to go with kavanagh meaning voting yes for the nomination of mr cavanaugh that is jeff flake from arizona susan collins from maine and lisa murkowski from alaska now susan collins the senator g.o.p. senator from maine said she will decide today at three pm local here in the afternoon if she's going to vote tomorrow if this vote happens tomorrow and it looks like it will now. she will vote and she will decide by three pm today our time here in washington if she's going to vote yes or no so this is going to be exciting and ongoing drama here in washington so ongoing drama on capitol hill but outside of the people who have been demonstrating do you think this will stop the

demonstrations. well no and yes so it won't the demonstrations will go on protests will go on until saturday this is very clear because protesters tried to really hammer home for the republicans and for the republican senators. from the states the protests are coming from too that if you vote for kevin or we will pay you back in november they chanted yesterday and chant all along november is coming november is coming now having said this these are liberal left leaning organizations who organize those protests and of course they are energized if they assume that kevin or we'll get the supreme court judges job past tomorrow they will be having energized and will be more so energized to go to the polls in november and cast their votes not for republicans and republicans are where this and frightful of this on the other hand all of this

being addressed by the way i think we're. talking about the clear eyed semitism you can see in the qur'an. well because there are so many migrants from the region that has this religion it's clear that we're going to see more and more anti-semitism in germany. aren't we think it is worse and worse from who was was some observers it might seem paradoxical for jewish people to join the h.d. but they have and on sunday they're setting up a formal group and the party. spokesman is steamy t. shirts he's a jew from the former soviet union and he sees if he is the only party fighting muslim anti-semitism i doubt if you torture the one fortunately many germans have no sense of homeland and this homeland is in danger. that one spot pulling institute says anti-semitism is much more prevalent in the h.d.

than in other parties and the f.t. leadership has faced repeated criticism for playing down the crimes of the nazis were literally the nazis are no more than a speck of bird poop in more than a thousand years of successful german history. sergey like he is a leading member of president jewish community and as far as he's concerned jews joining the age of fifty is a bad joke but he says the party is resonating with some jewish groups and we shouldn't forget that about ninety percent of jewish people in germany are also of eastern european origin or mostly come from the soviet union and bring the whole baggage of stereotypes and a kind of a. liberal understanding of democracy and also there are people who are german speakers speaking who. are right wing and who are trying to use this and that instrument allows this feeling and this is what we're seeing. the jews in the

a.f.c. group would get short shrift at the mazeltov leave restaurant in berlin the jewish own across the pinsky sees the group as no more than a tactic to divert attention from if de. it is irreconcilable jews cannot be involved in a party which is clearly associated with anti semitic motivations and anti semitic people it doesn't make sense to trust people like that and mention. that pinsky least if he is clearly anti-semitic and a group of jews in the party won't change that. now pressure from sponsors is mounting one event as a four to go footballer kris jenner naldo after a rape allegation made against him by an american woman i will now though has vehemently denied the allegations and threatened to sue german magazine der spiegel
