everything is online and interactive then jim and jeffrey lived in germany and. plan. last. this is the w. news live from buying a spectacular heist at one of the world's oldest museums thieves break into the royal palace in the german city of today's day and make off with diamonds and jewelry of immeasurable cultural value also coming up leaked documents shed light on the chinese government's mass detention of wego muslims in

a network of prison camps beijing insists there's simply voluntary re-education centers. and hong kong's leader valves to listen humbling to very to his alter they send a clear message to beijing pro-democracy candidates make massive day improve regime both collapses in municipal elections the vote was seen as a referendum on homes political turmoil. lost on the un's international day to oppose violence against women we hear about one french woman's fight for justice full on murder 2 fronts was the highest murder rate of women in your. time and a home for a glad you could join me here in germany thieves have reportedly pulled off a spectacular heist one of europe's most renowned news. now police in today's

dentist say the break in the clues give all the green vaults of the city's royal palace while it took place in the early hours of monday morning the new supposedly includes priceless early 18th century jewelry now the state museum contains one of the biggest collections of baroque treasures in europe it's home to around $4000.00 objects made of ivory gold silver and jewels. well for more on this i'm joined by scott rocks were from v.w. culture and correspondent our until today is in today's in a forest welcome to you both aaron i'm going to come to you 1st what's the latest do we know anymore about the suspects and how they managed to pull this off. well as you can see behind me forensics teams teams are still in dresden green vault and they're looking for any clues as to actually how these suspects managed to enter the building so far what we know is that just just before 5 in the morning

a number can see call was placed to dress and police where security guards within the green vault said that they had seen 2 men breaking into the building and actually been breaking the glass on one of the compartments that had a cow's the it's extreme collection of jewels and and actually historical treasures here now because because of the security camera footage that police were able to see so far they're currently on the lookout for 2 suicide suspects who supposedly gained entrance through one of these windows looking to just pull jaime at the corner of the building now police are said so far they only have evidence that 2 men were involved in the break in however they have speculated that there could have been a getaway car and more accomplices waiting for them outside regarding a lot of this was a 6 specifically how they gained access to the building they said it's too early to really speculate all right scott as we just had that i mean this is a collection with quite a history to say the least tell us more about it yeah i mean the equivalent here compared be something like a to the crown jewels in london that's sort of their cultural london that's

probably also the financial equivalent as well it was a collection that was started in the early 18th century by august 2nd august the strong he was a saxon saxon royalty and he was a sort of a jewel competition with the sun king louis the 14th of france is trying to develop create the most spectacular the most ostentatious the most opulent collection of jewelry and of goods which is what this collection really was one of the great treasures of a century jewelry it was actually then seized after the 2nd world war by the red army by the soviet union they took it to the soviet union as a sort of a prize of war then finally returned to germany in the late fifty's and then the building itself which had been destroyed in the war was only finally restored to $22006.00. and to a sort of it's original glory so though the tools that were stolen as far as we know they were probably personal jewels of. strong. physical value

is cut is considerable but their cultural value is really measurable absolutely i mean if he makes a very. high so i would say i'm with i want to go have so you are in because i mean the thieves seem to have an in-depth knowledge of the building surely now that this raises questions about security. well it certainly does but it also remains to be seen how much inside knowledge of these actually had i mean what they actually did once they entered the building is quite clear thanks to some of the security camera that were actually covered the inside the building the real open question is how did they gain direct access to the building police are currently looking at a small fire that reportedly broke out on a fire cable just before the break in took place now some people have raised the question or begin to speculate whether or not that was used to maybe cause a small localized blackout cut power to some of the security systems which then explain how they were able to gain access to a building so quickly but thanks to the security camera footage the police do have

a very good idea of what happened after they gain access to the building and i believe we have a clip from one of the speaker of the police want to listen to that right now. from what's clear to us is that the perpetrators entered the building through a window facing pallas square. they cut through the bars on the window and smashed the glass which they then targeted a specific display case which they shattered. they then fled the building and disappeared we've all seen the photos. katie as we're hearing there very dramatic heist our in-house there ever been a heist of this kind of magnitude in modern german history. well the attack on the gruen or the theft in the green vault or the green vault today has actually draw some parallels with an attack that we saw a couple of years ago in berlin where a commemorative comedian coined gold coin more some 4000000 euros it was actually

stolen in a similar or early hours smash and grab operation because of that a lot of journalists here and many in today's news have been asking the question is there a connection between that attack and this attack here and the police have said they're looking at all possible connections with maybe international crime bands and also connections to that attack in berlin several years ago that's got i have to last you i mean what happens now what could happen to these very precious off the facts you know it's very interesting in that comparison to the robbery a couple of years ago the big gold coin right is assume that colon it was made of almost pure gold was just melted down and sold for the value of the gold when we come to these jewels they do have a certain value as as diamonds as jewels they could be broken down and sold but they made the point today at the press conference that the value that you could get from those as jewels is a tiny fraction of their cultural value and historical value there are a couple of theoretical options if the thieves don't break them down and sell them

as as as bit jewelry they could theoretically hold them for ransom and try to get the sacks and government which which owns them to to to to buy them back that's a theoretical possibility perhaps the other other which is what everyone hopes for is that they will be recovered that the thieves will not be able to sell them because they are not you know they can't sell them on the open market and that they can be recovered and restored to their rightful place in saxony near at all of intriguing possibilities for us to express an hour until to bring us the latest from and jason thanks to. well leaks chinese government documents have revealed details about the massed attention of muslims at least a 1000000 people from the minority group are believed to be held in internment camps a group of investigative journalists has published the papers which contradict china's claims that the camps are voluntary reeducation the city's response the chinese

embassy embassy in britain called people in the camps quote trainees and said their personal freedom was quote fully guaranteed these confidential chinese government documents lay bare the control and repression that reign in the internment camps of xinjiang province at least a 1000000 muslims are thought to be detained in the camps. is to change an entire minority population it's a cultural genocide and it's a course of social. experts believe there are more than 1000 such camps the key leaked document lays out how they should be run it states the inmates are not allowed any contact with the outside world owning a mobile phone is strictly forbidden the camp should be under constant video surveillance to prevent escape the papers also describe a scoring system that grades detainees on how well they speak mandarin and memorize

state sanctioned ideology the documents back up testimony of former detainees like zome already do wattie the businesswoman was detained after being stopped by police and questioned over a u.s. visa in her passport or here in class they would tell us that we had been poisoned by religion that islam is an infectious disease that came from abroad. and that if there needed to be a religion in china it must be buddhism. former detainees have also confirmed the harsh disciplinary regime detailed in the leaked papers. we had to talk into a speaker to get permission just to go to the toilet but there were 10 minutes of toilet time each hour for all of us some were able to go this time some weren't we didn't waste water to wash our hands. we only had 2 minutes to shower with cold water every month. in the. beijing has always described the

camps as voluntary re education facilities. at a news conference in london china's u.k. ambassador dismissed the papers as fake news the documents are talking about is a. fabrication if you want to have the documents but case you know cheney has a consensus where. we have a 7 white papers published but that dismissal fooled no one the so-called china cables coupled with witness testimony are impossible to ignore. well joining me now is journalists have a mass in munich now he went undercover to investigate the situation although we guess in their homeland of john harold really great to have you with us you conducted your work undercover as a tourist tell me what you saw and what people told you. together i managed

to travel around 2000 kilometers over a period of 2 weeks to see basically mainly on the land wave by trains buses so you have to imagine the whole area is. from. journalists. based in china have no possibility to do any research then this area. conducted interviews and spoke to more than one family member of former inmates of these camps one former inmate of these camps told me himself even described it. very fied by human rights organizations his claims. off. of the people of the people who are in these camps is hard to believe find any family which does not have. many family members

camps he don't have any these people don't have any information as how long they if they come out of the ever come out how their situation is there some people a lot of people don't have any contact with these people have limited contact and speak some kind of video telephone for a few seconds. and it's very hard to imagine what the scale of this kind of controls carol sorry to jump in that but you said victims of torture what kind of torture people tell you about. this was only one case and this this inmate who told me. of this will space weekly he described how he was chained which is. like a tiger chair and this is a kind of very uncomfortable very. painful position and beatings this person himself in the end he tried to kill himself unsuccessfully and.

managed to escape abroad to talk about his about his experience i think what is also important to understand we're not talking about only about the. controls of these people who are in the camps basically everybody who lives in this area millions of people they have massive security control. sorry to have yeah just with very limited time and beijing alleges these people are extremists to to meet any religious extremists. i did not meet is a stream is these are people from from life people like you and me old people sometimes family people it's the number of is so high though it's not doesn't make sense to talk about extremist people there because all kinds of people. all right gentlemen harold mohsin mainak he went on the cover to investigate the plight of the way the minority and their incarceration thank you for your reporting harold thank you.

don't call now where pro-democracy supporters have won a landslide victory in municipal elections parties sympathetic to their cause one almost $390.00 townsell seats compared to less than a $64.00 pro beijing for the protesters except night they've been joined by their newly elected representatives every 90 percent of the seats went to candidates supportive of their cause sending a clear message to the chief executive. the government really really. trying not to respond to the people's demand i can imagine that. it's a council we'll pick up even more popular supports and make us off the powerful to further push the government and make the government

even more acri. activists and demonstrators continue to clash with hong kong police and the response from beijing is striking an old too familiar note to both true and stopping the violence and restoring order is the paramount task for hong kong at the moment hong kong china hong kong. when they don't the pro-democracy protesters want greater autonomy from china their demands include direct elections to the territories legislature and an independent inquiry into police brutality. this election result shows home conners overwhelmingly back the pro-democracy movement all eyes now i will be on how the government responds. well let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world more than 60 doctors have published an open letter saying that the health of wiki leaks founder julian assange just so bad he could die in a british prison and he requires a cat

a song she is fighting extradition to the usa the espionage charges that could carry a 175 year prison sentence. demonstrators in the democratic republic of congo have set fire to the town hall in beni in the east of the country now they were protesting against the killing of 8 civilians in the attack by militants residents accuse local forces and un peacekeepers failing to stop militia violence . pope francis has celebrated mass in tokyo as part of his 4 day visit to japan earlier he met victims of the 27 fukushima nuclear disaster voiced concern over japan's continued reliance on nuclear power. well today is the un's international day for the elimination of violence against women one of the most systematic and widespread human rights violations of our time now the united

nations estimates that every day about $200.00. $138.00 women well they are intentionally killed but around the world most of the murders are committed by their partners or their own families now more than one 3rd of women worldwide have experienced some kind of physical or sexual violence in their lifetimes and the numbers are particularly high in parts of africa where almost every 2nd woman has experienced violence but this aggression against women is also a problem in wealthier parts of the world here in the european union for example one in every 3 women is estimated to have suffered violence and abuse in their lifetime or france has one of the highest murder rates for women in europe and now the government has announced a new law to better protect women didn't use lisa lewis examines one particular case that helped prompt the new law and a good she describes it as a life sentence she says there's a gaping void inside of her ever since march 27th when her daughter was killed by

her ex-boyfriend of there and we need your soul. they had split up 6 weeks earlier he had her rest of us since a bit of it was one morning he was waiting for her and the whole stable where she worked and tried to convince her to take him back leave them or you know when she refused he pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the heart and the lungs could my brain is still blanking out on what this really means. i think it is trying to protect me otherwise i'd go crazy i still can't imagine she'd never see my daughter again i'm obviously sick of it as a. bet and it doesn't only blame her daughter's ex-boyfriend she's also furious with the system that she feels that her daughter down. the whole 2 weeks before he killed her he broke into her house through the window he wanted to frighten her he

was convinced she was seen someone else elaine went to the police station to press charges but she came up crying the police downplayed things and didn't take her seriously they didn't recognize how dangerous this man was they later decided to drop the case i am so angry at this patriarchal system where men shield other men and which doesn't protect women sister but kalki different body family by the family elin is everything but an isolated case every year more than $120.00 women are killed in france one group has started counting them and is tagging their names and stories on walls across paris to push the government to finally act. but the government says it is taking the matter seriously it's been holding weeks long consultations with victims as a station across the country and it's working on a new law to better protect women against domestic violence. in some of the more

the government is working with lawmakers from all across the spectrum and we are ready to act. on this the new law will introduce electronic bracelets to keep violent men at bay and judges will be able to issue restraining orders within 6 days and more women's shelters will be opened with these acts you most need a new. nick took part in the country talks and course the measures a good start but she says more needs to be done and that one crucial point is missing from the new legislation. the need more. fights really important that the police get proper psychological training she still hopes the government will change the law to include this so that at least some women will be saved and their families be spared the suffering she now has to endure. well here with me in the studio now i'm joined by an eater back here at un

women where she is the assistant secretary general and deputy executive director thank you so much for coming in and talking to us on this day now we understand that one in 3 women experience some kind of violence in their lifetime whether that is physical or sexual it is a shocking number and it seems that it transcends buddha's social class economic class why is that i think there are a couple of reasons i think the 1st as an attitude to the 2nd is popular culture and the 3rd is the justice system and financing so on added sure the world still has an attitude that women are property i mean put it bluntly lots of men think they can get away with this and they do it's ok to be triple murder your partner your wife your spouse so the 1st thing i think is just the attitudes the 2nd is popular culture actually makes it ok to be violent against women there's a lot of massage honest. treatment of women in the popular culture in the media

and i just want to share with you one example that i came across a couple of months ago so there was an ad in this newspaper in brussels for above the company of us called bikie burger and it showed a man beating his wife because she gave him the wrong kind of burger in this stadium a while in a developed country like belgium to have a mad like that i think that's outrageous it's clearly unacceptable wherever it is in the world clearly people think or this propagates the idea that people can get away with it yes how on earth do we go about changing that what needs to change when it's to happen a couple of things 1st of all there needs to be training of police officers the justice system has a really important role to play and police need to be able to take this case the seriously many times they don't and there needs to be investment in legal system so that cases can get treated. quickly there are so many women i have met whose cases

come to the court 20 years after they were 1st raped or violated justice delayed is justice denied and so we need to invest in legal systems and we need to invest in training the police un women actually does a lot of training of police officers that's really crucial and then the final point i would make is that you know there just isn't enough financing for issues around violence against women when you look at what governments are spending money on they're spending money on lots of things including defense but not enough on treating violence against women and he's about to from the un women thank you so much for coming in obviously leisure and thanks for your insights. well to sports news now and the brain does leader wear hoffenheim missed the chance to make a big jump to 4th in the table when they lost big at home to mines on a sunday the visitors had to play more than half of the game with 10 men after is evil a back who was sent off for a dangerous challenge but mine still managed to control hoffenheim going up to nil
