7:07 am
to take in response to this move by venezuela it's not clear at the moment but i think what the german government do will do first of all is to go into into consultation with taste and it's again with other european governments and with the united states and from that i think will follow the next few steps the political correspondent on thank you so much. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today u.s. president donald trump says he'll be very disappointed if it's confirmed that north korea is working on its missile program that's after a u.s. think tank published satellite images purporting to show is rebuilding a dismantled test site analysts say north korea began the work after the failure of last week's hanoi. australia's former top catholic card human is facing a fresh legal battle as he awaits sentencing on five counts of child sexual abuse a man who alleges george pell molested him as a boy has filed

7:12 am
the testing and the conclusion of it was correct or not and esque life est is the most used pesticides in the world this is truly relevant but i have to say that this case is more about the past than about the future because for new pesticides approvals all this has been changed in you law for the future that is why pavlik access to the studies which has been used this was the fruit of the citizens initiative which has been signed by more than one million europeans and we mate as the european parliament we made that law and this is why we wanted this access for the past but for the future for new pesticides old this is already in short. the debate about life is cited safety continues to rage you're suing for to get access from the studies from corporations does that do you not yourself or have already have proof that life

7:15 am
things. for a second we have it so there are about four thousand boat owners here they've all lost the business it's a terrible situation. shafi and sprains have seen the income wax and wane over the years in line with the militant attacks protests and crackdowns that periodically inflame tensions in the indian held parts of the region. i don't know what the problems between india and pakistan are. sponsored like a football between the two it's just used politically. it's a sentiment shared by many on the streets of srinagar indian administered kashmir soldiers are everywhere the recent war games between india and pakistan have added to the sense of unease no one was willing to speak out on camera. white tensions
7:16 am
between india and pakistan are winding down after last week's aerial strikes a climate of fear in the heavily militarized. here in downtown srinagar shops and businesses open today after days of intermittent strikes and. causing major disruptions to public life. rears bonnie's first thought was to stock up on rice and fuel when tensions erupted over kashmir last week because the price fifty k.g. has been through decades of shutdowns and go fuse. and even started his own kitchen garden in his backyard to prepare for an emergency. but the father of two was terrified for his family when india and pakistan engaged in retaliatory aerial strikes last week just a few hundred kilometers from here but in the entire region age. that of those days were very scary for us jets overhead. we heard the news that one or two
7:17 am
jets were brought down people got killed maybe the two countries would talk now that could be better for everyone. the conflict in kashmir has dragged on for decades. remains elusive in this beautiful coast. that both nations claim. in germany a verdict is expected in the case against four man accused of operating a dark net platform for child sexual abuse images called elysium it was one of the largest such websites worldwide with more than one hundred thousand user accounts the prosecution has called for prison sentences of up to nine years. it took state prosecutors several months together the evidence the facts point toward a jail term for the four suspects for having offered child pornography on the illusion network. that's meant to be out of us the material
7:18 am
posted on a doozy i'm sure every kind of abuse imaginable of children and teenagers. the victims included newborns and babies the platform was discovered in twenty seventeen and immediately shut down the case made international headlines due to the large number of subscribers investigators found one hundred twelve thousand user accounts pedophiles around the world were offered photos and videos of the worst kind of child abuse on a platform operated from germany the man are accused of setting up and operating the child pornography platform on the dark net they can expect a prison sentence of multiple years. or with us here to talk about it is. she's a psychologist and director of the innocence in danger that's a network that fights the spreading of child pornography and the internet thank you for being with us this morning. what more can you tell us about the child abuse
7:19 am
media platform that's at the center of this case being decided here in germany was one of the biggest so far known platforms and it was actually only discovered because the australian law enforcement put up a so-called honeypot they stumbled across the site and they kept it running in order to catch the people behind it and then pass on the information to germany because it's something that german law enforcement would not be allowed to do so it already tells how difficult it is to to really get into the darkness and into these networks so if the australians stumbled upon it that's just this was a the clients of this network if you will were global absolutely and we don't even know how many clients there are there and what we do not know is how many times each person downloaded child sexual abuse imagery and then pass it on to other people so for survivors of these crimes the passing on the spread of the child abuse of images is really
7:20 am
a terrible fact of life. what can be done to prevent children and adolescents from becoming victims of pedophiles. and sexual abuse well if i knew the real answer to that question i would win the nobel prize i believe what we need to be aware of is that child sexual abuse happens around us every single day every single second and we need to be aware that we need to look for signs that children are distressed and then if we suspect something like child sexual abuse we need to ask for help and what we also learn from many international studies is that child sexual abuse happens within the skills roundings also in these cases where it's about child sexual abuse networks that means social work. we need to be aware of these dimensions and we need to tackle so it has many different dimensions the network at the center of this case that's being decided here in
7:21 am
germany in the court it operated in the so-called dark net how well equipped are authorities to to deal with that not really i mean they're trying their very best all law enforcement offices all over the world are really digging deep into that but they're it's just such a vast dimension and laws are different in different countries so i think we need to tackle the problem until a different aspects one is strengthen law enforcement and their equipment and manpower and the other is find ways to technically remove. child sexual abuse imagery something that actually the canadian center for child protection has started to do they developed a weapon called iraq and it's and across the net and searches for police known child sexual abuse imagery and they removed more than one million images with within the past two years what would you like to see come out of this trial in germany i would like for us to be more aware i would like to strengthen long.
7:22 am
enforcement i would like to strengthen a corporation with a canadian center for child protection i would like for everyone out there in this in this social system to be aware that we need to ask these questions and see if images have been produced and spread thank you very much for talking with us this morning you have one bottle of director of the ngo innocence in danger my pleasure . moving along to sports and men chester united are through to the quarter finals of the champions league after a dramatic finish to their tie against. a controversial penalty in stoppage time allowed marcus rush for to make a three make it three one on the night and levelled the scores on aggregate the english club qualify because they scored more away goals in the two game champ for united will be joined by portuguese side porto who also made it through thanks to
7:23 am
a late penalty telos scored against roma in extra time to put his club into the next round. well with me in the studio is already from our source. so p.s.g. they were the heavy favorites going into their match how did manchester united manager to beat them well you know it kind of summed up all their going to socials time as coach at manchester united so far a lot of belief a lot of determination and a lot of luck as well terry started on early in the game it was only the second minute when a mistake by tito carrier the german international allowed romelu lukaku into open the scoring for manchester united a big mistake from the german sense about but rather. he did recover from that somewhat equaliser through one but not and it looked like they might go on to win the game but then another mistake from the legendary keeper allowed into his second now this point it wasn't too bad for p.s.g.
7:24 am
they were still going through on aggregate but then the referee got called to the screen to rule on the handle gave the penalty and marcus rushford was given the chance to slam home the winner put on you know i think for now i have to say i was really surprised that the referee gave that penalty i thought it was very unlucky for the president can bend the penalty was given against him but you know you have to credit the tenacity and not just united the french side failed for the third year in a row to make it into the quarter finals of the champions league what does that mean for the qatari own club he said the word file that terry and i think failure is exactly what it means first of all for p.s.g. i mean the the owners of the club want a lot more than just winning the french league every year that's not enough for them they want success in europe and especially the champions league and once again as you say the team has failed to deliver on that on top of the game in this kind of unwanted reputation as a team of bottle is it seen that throws away leads in big games it was only two seasons ago that they were formula after the first leg against barcelona and
7:25 am
somehow still managed to go out little six one in the second leg to crush out the storm and then in terms of what will i do not see the. president of p.s.g. has already said that he still has faith in thomas tickell the coach so if we take him at his word for that if we said that not going to change the coach then it can only mean one thing and that is a big spending spree i think is going to be a very busy summer of paris and we're getting to an exciting stage in the champions league what's next to watch well next week we've got two german clubs back in action we've got shocker playing manchester city which i wouldn't hold up too much hype the shock of their three two down off of the first leg against man city but maybe this trend will continue of big teams throwing away leads. but the big draw i think really is by and against liverpool the rematch there now by in it was nil nil off of the first leg so all to play for the two european giants and probably what about porto yet porto last night that was a really big game as well really dramatic game to three one the final score but
7:26 am
it's that extra time to get that far and the penalty in one hundred seventeen minutes was what decided in the end so incredible drama and the champions league knockout stage offering a lot of big comebacks and a lot of late goals it's great stuff for the viewers all of a movie from do you know you sport thanks so much. and for you know just a reminder the top stories we're following for you here today on the dummy news then a swiss government has ordered the german ambassador to leave the country that's after daniel cleena expressed support for opposition leader on why don't germany is one of the country's backing why those bid to oust president nicolas maduro. you know where up business coming up for you next after a short break monica jones will be here we'll take a look at how embattled chinese tech giant huawei is fighting back in the united states as washington continues its campaign to shut it out of contracts for
