i'm phil gallo welcome to the program it's a heist straight out of a hollywood movie here in germany things broke into one of europe's most renowned museums and made off the whole of priceless 18th century jewelry place in the eastern city of dresden say the right of the green folds collection took place in the early hours of monday morning the state museum is home to around 4000 objects made of ivory gold silver and jewels. dresden screenful museum home to one of europe's greatest collections of treasures now it's a crime scene after burglars snatched up to $95.00 pieces of early 18th century jewelry from these cabinets including diamonds and rubies this is one of the sets that was stolen exactly how many items were taken from this set is still unknown dresden police say the thieves entered through a window c.c.t.v.

footage shows them heading straight to a display cabinet and smashing the glass with an axe before making off with the treasure but the time or thought has arrived the burglars were long gone a nationwide hunt is now under way saxony state premier say security measures were considered adequate is just the words it's a shot it's not just the state art collections that were problem but are saxons we now want to get a sense of the damage and the investigative work. at least of which. the collection interest and was founded in the 18th century by augustus the strong elector of saxony and later king of poland the jewels here are priceless. because misconduct and i we can't put a value on these items as they're unmarketable it therefore just simply isn't a value that we can work with there is no financial value we can work with with the

jewelry to identifiable to sell in the open market the museum fears that the pieces might be broken up all melted down. the stolen jewels survived the allied bombings in world war 2 were carted off as beauty by the soviet union and were returned here in 1958 now dresden is hoping for their return from the hands of the thieves who vanished without a trace. straight to the crime scene interesting that where we find you doubly correspondent are not told to welcome our own what's being said about the suspects in this case. well so far police are pursuing all possible leads and they've actually asked the public for any possible leads which could help them identify who was actually behind the break and if you look right back here you might actually still be able to see the forensics teams taking a look at the crime scene itself i mean so far we don't have any definite leads the police haven't actually express information that they know to the identities of the

possible offenders here and there but they are really approaching every possible lead i mean right now there seem to be 2 strong leads which would indicate that the they may have found the escape vehicle that could have been used by some of the. possible robbers to flee from the building behind me and they're also looking at a fire that was opposing allayed at a bridge just around the corner here at a power box which could have been used to disable this part of the alarm system and also the street lights which you can see behind me are now working again right so this is a collection with quite a history. oh yes it certainly is i mean the collection that's present in the green vault is the. the collected wealth of dresden is royalty collected over several centuries now we know that the the case that was broken to specifically contain between evie in a 100 different jewel incrusted example examples in pieces of artwork and jewelry and on people of estimated at the worth it could be somewhere north of several

$100000000.00 if not 1000000000 euros so an incredible amount of historic wealth but then also real material wealth as well and the fades seems to have in-depth knowledge of the building which must raise questions about security that. well it certainly does but it really kind of remains to be seen how much inside knowledge they actually have and on the one hand we do know that they were able to target 11 shelf physically or one actually case specifically which could indicate that they had knew exactly where the pieces were that they wanted to take remember you know there's some 4000 different objects in the building on the other hand it does kind of look like this might have been us math smash and grab type of operation basically they pried open a window used an ax to break through the security glass and then took as much as they could actually get their hands on now this type of attack does have a tradition of that in germany you know giant gold coin was stolen from

a museum in berlin several years ago worth somewhere around $4000000.00 euros so the site was smashed up and grab operations could also be an avenue of investigation that the police will be looking into right now i'm good so if that is for joining this hour an hour until 10 justin. elite chinese government documents of reveal details about the mass detention of at least a 1000000 of the country's a week of population a group of investigative journalists has published the papers which show the camps to be false reeducation census apos of china's plan to assimilate and subdue the muslim minority beijing has always claimed the cam saw voluntary. these confidential chinese government documents lay bare the control and repression that reign in the internment camps of xinjiang province at least a 1000000 we go 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 they can't 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 or ada watty the businesswoman was detained after being stopped by police and questioned over a u.s. visa in her passport or. 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. 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. beijing has always described the camps as voluntary reeducation facilities. at a news conference in london china's u.k. ambassador dismissed the papers as fake news the documents. is a. fabrication if you want to have the documents but. i do consent. with the 7 white papers published but that dismissal fooled

no one the so-called china cables coupled with witness testimony are impossible to ignore. women. streets with the protesters. violence against women is one of the few. that finds common ground across political lines in this race and they're right behind me is a real show of public protest and anger in

a country where the government has severely limited freedom of expression and assembly over the policy is these people here have gathered to denounce violence against women and to decry and alarming number all femicide each year in turkey now the government does not keep official statistics on stand aside but activists do when they say last year 440 women have been murdered by men in this year this figure stands at more than 370 already this is according to a well known istanbul women's rights group so people here took to the streets today they brought posters saying the names all of the victims they are shouting slogans like we won't stay silent and i'm sure as you can hear these people these women are really trying to make some noise to get their voices head and to get their message across. istanbul thousands of demonstrators in georgia have marched through the

capital tbilisi calling for the resignation of the government and snubbed parliamentary elections after the government failed to prove a planned electoral reform the current system favors the ruling georgian drink party of the party initially agreed to protesters demands following a wave of sometimes violent protests during the summer 200 protesters were injured in clashes with police back then the w's and lay sherman has been to meet one of them a young activist who has become one of the faces of the protest movement. wants to make noise. that i can put the things i can't say with words into music. with music helps me to control my feelings. i chose to learn the drums because they allow me to express my anger my resentment my happiness and my depression. says she's always wanted to learn how to play but the

19 year old student only started lessons 2 months ago after she lost her left eye during demonstrations in the summer. in june thousands of protesters demanded the switch to a proportional electoral system in georgia when the police use rubber bullets and tear gas against demonstrators hundreds were injured including the government was pushed into promising change. since her injury the government has been paying marco's medical bills but now that the ruling party has gone back on its promise of electoral reform her frustration at what happened burns even stronger but. i'm still angry of course i've accepted the reality of what happened. but i can't change that anymore. i've become the victim of injustice i my face all of me. and when i see that that injustice still hasn't ended and that we haven't won at

all that just strengthens my anger that rage essentially takes over me. sammartino yeah but demonstrators are determined to keep taking to the streets until the government concedes snap elections and changes to a proportional electoral system to many mako has become one of the faces of the ruling party's broken promise whether she wanted to or not but for now members of the georgian dream party are portraying the opposition protesters as an irrelevant minority and. sure that. our support. for the george i'm much more. aggressive. and supporters. marco is determined to get compensation for a very jury 5 months after the summer protests she's now finally been named as an official witness in an investigation into police violence at the demonstrations she

hopes her loss won't have been for nothing. that i think voice of the people is very hard to ignore the voice of the people is the biggest governing force for a country not individual politicians and when a country is democratic you can get justice you just have to fight for it. while the artist. marco is taking her case to georgia's courts she doesn't plan to give up her fight and neither do the protesters. and finally to the white house where u.s. president donald trump has introduced the world's media to his new best friend conan the military dog a coat and was wounded last month during the raid by u.s. special forces in syria led to the death of islamic state leader abu bakr i'll baghdadi despite saying at the time about baghdad he died like a dog mr trump is honoring conan as

a canine american hero. up next here on day to be as they have with the w. business world news of the top of the i'm going to. have but i do need to keep a day of eligible for over the mets and home the force and for the most recent midweek member. of an event announcing dragons. has called the hard truth. to agree but on. plan b. our fighters want to start families to become farmers or engineers every one of them has a plow not.
