we hear about one french mother's fight for justice and the starter was stabbed to death by an ex-boyfriend the government is working on a new long term pattern protect women talk and eat and many others say it is not enough. more violence in iraq and security forces opened fire on protesters killing at least 7 and wounding dozens more and it is the latest surge in violence since anti-government protests started in october. i'm sunni so much going to thank you for joining us we start with some breaking news from here in germany a fever have reportedly pulled off a spectacular heist at one of europe's most renowned museums a police address and say the break in at the green vaults in the city's royal palace took place in the early hour. as of monday morning now there's been no

immediate word of what was stolen a prized collection of historic treasures include crown jewels royal bowls carved out of crystal and the world's largest green diamond the dressed in green and maximillian acosta is looking into the story for us what more do we know about what actually happened here what we know so far is that in the early morning of this monday cvs broke into what is one of europe's greatest treasure chambre the palace the green vault of the palace in dress and then what we know so far as the authorities are still assessing the scene of the crime but it appears that the thieves have vented the historic part of the building where most of the treasures are being kept through a corner window and they were able to do that because one of the alarms had been not activated because power supplies have been taken off and this sounds not as

spectacular but of course the spectacular part of this heist is the amount of tourists they seem to be able to. attain so 1st reports say that there could be treasures worth a 1000000000 year or spin taken in this heist and this collection has a pretty impressive history as well tell us about that. yes so this is again one of europe's biggest treasure collection and it contains through 10 very extravagantly decorated rooms over $3000.00 pieces of treasure made of gold silver and very expensive diamonds and gems for example there's 1648 carrot sapphire that was gifted by the sorrow of russia to then german emperor and there were other very important items that have been stored but of so far authorities haven't said yet which of the items has been taken with such an ink exquisite and

really priceless collection bears a question how could this happen. well as so far as we know from authorities are due to give a press conference and the upcoming hours is that it seems to be that there has been a premeditated act towards the crime so that in the early hours there was a fire breaking out that then deactivated one of the generators there were responsible for the alarm and now authorities are investigating if that fire was an act that had been perpetrated by the thieves themselves and that's what the authorities are currently looking into we understand that actually one of the most valuable exhibit was actually on loan as luck would have it. yes so one of the most prized possessions of the green vault which is an fact called the green the dress in green diamond was currently on learn in new york at the metro open metropolitan museum of art and that is $141.00 carat diamond with

a very particular green shape it's supposed to be one of the most extraordinary sizes and shapes of a diamond in the world its 1st dating goes back to the 18th century and it had then been obtained by the then dressed in empress all the strong men and this diamond was currently on the loan in the metropolitan museum of fox and therefore not been part of the heist at our correspondent maximillian a question of bringing us up to date on the story thank you to hong kong now where pro-democracy supporters have secured a landslide victory in municipal elections the pro-democracy campus been celebrating after parties sympathetic to their cause one almost $390.00 council seats compared to less than $64.00 probation parties on congress events turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots in an election that was widely seen as a referendum on the pro-democracy movement after nearly 6 months of protests from

khan's probate beijing chief executive kerry lamb so the government would quote listen humbly and seriously reflect. let's get the latest with our correspondent charlotte shells from phil she's standing by for us in hong kong hi charlotte how are how congress reacting to these results. there's been a send degree of astonishment on both sides at just how resoundingly the victory was for the pro democratic camp given the fact that there was a huge voter turnout democratic figures had told us that they were hoping for a bit of a boost but it has to be make clear that in these district council elections pro establishment parties have always dominated now we've seen a total reversal those democratic candidates have been able to flip a number of seats now one of the 1st time today those elected democratic council is gathered here i'm outside the poly you university here at the moment this is been

the scene of over a week long standoff between an unknown number of protesters still inside the university holed up there afraid to come out because they fear they'll be arrested by police who are still surrounding this university and now in the past acts these democratic counselors say that they want to show their support for those protests is and also that they want to encourage them to leave the university with this down dog and peacefully no that really is a marker of how in bold and a lot of these democratic biggest feel off to this election result which as you said is really being considered by so many here is a referendum on the popularity of this protest movement almost 6 months in now so an important symbolic result charlie but this is a municipal election so how much will it actually affect hong kong's relations with mainland china. the foreign minister

in china has issued a statement saying no matter what happens hong kong is still part of china he's warned against anything that threatens the start of prosperity and stability of hong kong hanau no one is really expecting beijing to to soften its stunts they all watching very closely though to see what. happens next we know that a number of the pro establishment candidates here a licking their wounds trying to figure out exactly why they did lose so much support as you said the district councils here don't usually have a huge amount of clout what we could see though is that they do feel more emboldened going forward we spoke to one legislator who told us the leader of the democratic party in fact he told us that he felt that as the confidence in your thirty's dwindles he thinks that these democratic councils could take on an important new role going forward in trying to negotiate some sort of earth peaceful solution to this crisis has been engulfing hong kong take

a listen to what he had to say. if the government really really. trying not to respond to the people is to month i can imagine that. it's a council we'll pick up even more popular supports and make use of the powerful to further a push the government and make the government even look more acri social and just quickly is this result what pro-democracy protesters have been looking for. they are taking the day to day to celebrate this victory for that camp but what they've all been telling is not just today but over the course of more than 5 months is that they really need to see their 5 demands that includes universal suffrage and an independent investigation into the way that the police have handled the unrest on the streets they are now

demanding that those demands are at least addressed by chief executive kerry. reporting for us in hong kong thank you. now leaked chinese government documents have revealed details about the mass detention of weaker muslims at least a 1000000 people from the minority group are believed to be held in internment camps a group of investigative journalists published the papers which contradict china's claims that the camps are voluntary education facilities in response the chinese embassy in britain called people in the camps trainees and said their personal freedom was fully guaranteed. these confidential chinese government documents lay bare the control and repression their reign in the internment camps and province at least a 1000000 muslims are thought to be detained in the camps. these are just a mater shipped into the systematic internment of an entire ethnic and religious

minority this is really something that the world has not got to grips with yet. experts believe there are more than $1000.00 such camps the key leads documents lays out how they are to be run it states the inmates onselen out any contacts with the outside world owning a mobile phone is strictly said that in the camps should be under constant and comprehensive video surveillance not a single corner should be left on watched preventing escape is a top priority as in. these camps are like prisons the aim is to completely control every 2nd of a person's life it's not just about locking them up and the aim is to have a deep psychological impact on their identity if. beijing has always described the camps as voluntary reeducation facilities. leaked documents confirm that is not the case.

genocide is probably the most accurate way to describe what's happening there. the documents now being called the china cables were obtained by the international consortium of journalists. we can speak out. in beijing who has reported extensively on these camps. talk to us about these leaks what more information do we now have on what is happening in these camps. these cams these documents they do not reveal a lot of new information a lot of it was known already but they provide a link between the government and what people have seen on the ground what the witnesses would leaked and was coms have reported before they review a number of names of response people who are responsible for these camps including

. a name that was previously not discussed before the name off to high loan an official who rules up the ranks into john who grew up they have partly who school a school. student lee and knew the culture and who rose up the ranks into deputy secretary of the communist party in that region and who used his intimate knowledge of the culture can wage a campaign against these college so much as what impact do you think these leaks will actually have these these documents they prove the government wrong who states that these are not detention facilities but voluntary vocational training camps so this is one important thing that they. evidence growing evidence that has been connected to it about these

councils and the names that we see inside these leaks they will of course play a role when it comes to for example sanctions against the people who are responsible for this internment system sanctions have been discussed there are no before by the us for example and the case can you don't mind us why the minority whip of population in china is at the center of this controversy. since the communists took control over soon jungle over this vast region in the west of china in 1989 to have tensions between weak is and han. chinese hunt population china has rolled more unsettling speed. in violent clashes several times work with lots of people being killed there have also been terrorist attacks there have has been an islamist movement although it's

not clear how big it really was and there have been 2 major terrorist attacks in 2013 and 14 in the chinese mainland in the heartland of china and these 2 attacks they seem to have gone to. these groups complained they seem to let the chinese government to not to rely on the track downs that i have previously used that to start this farce comparing that is meant to you read to kate the identity of the week of population and these mosty tensions that yes seeing now she was young. ok but your spelling of speaking to us from beijing thank you very much . let's check in now and some other stories making headlines around the world pope francis has celebrated mass in tokyo as part of his 4 day visit to japan earlier he
