we're talking about here is a priceless historic art and cultural value. also coming up elite chinese government documents reveal details about the forced detention of something like a 1000000 we go muslims their significance is that we have an unprecedented insight into what the chinese government is really doing the endgame is to change an entire minority population it's a cultural genocide and it's a course of social range nearing. for us here in germany have pulled off a spectacular high said one of europe's most renowned museums police in the eastern city of dresden say the break in at the greed vaults cup action took place in the early hours of monday morning and that the loose includes priceless early 18th century jewelry the state run news it moves home to around $4000.00 presses objects

11:05 pm
poland the jewels here a priceless. kindness garnished and i we can't put a value on these items as they are unmarketable therefore this simply isn't a value that we can work with it there is no financial value. 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 whatever tent here in 1958 now dresden is hoping for their return from the hands of the thieves who vanished without a trace. well i did doubly correspondent i didn't till suddenly has been to the crime scene and sent us this we've been able to observe forensics teams which you can actually see right to your right shoulder going in and out of the building and it seems they're looking at every possible clue or every possible avenue
11:06 pm
investigation to see exactly if they can locate find the identity of the thieves in question and also possibly any clues to the location of the jewels which were stolen now we've been seeing the flash photography and actually able to hear some type of alarm system go off recently so it seems like they're really pursuing any possible avenue of investigation so far the police themselves have been rather tight lipped we haven't heard about any new major clues coming out from them and it does seem we are still pretty much there we were this morning basically we know that at least 2 men broke into the building they were able to actually enter just through this window over my right hand shoulder they spent several minutes in the building going directly to one of the display cases breaking it up with an ax and by the police arrived some 5 minutes later they were already gone actually disappearing without a trace so far. there entails in reporting so what do the things do now well bad is an insurance broker welcome to the doubly so how do you get rid of
11:07 pm
a 1000000000 euros worth of gold diamonds rubies emeralds and sapphires that's a good question yes. i don't know they are raising them somewhere. putting them to pieces all they try to. get money out of it wherever i may be from in auction houses or are from the states from the state or from the country. in the least i don't know exactly what they are doing it's interesting though you. know it we heard they had of the state museums there saying that we cannot davies jewels of value because they would be impossible to sell but that that can't be true because i'm they would have just stolen them for the sake of stating them you can put them in pots. and cut them and sell them but is
11:08 pm
nothing worth not so much worth as these torkel worth of it and it's incredibly wealthy of the completeness of this collection and this is unique in the world. and this is the loss that something is is not complete anymore and so when something like this happens where do they whether their oversight of the police will will investigate the see them do all their forensic investigations but as somebody involved in this in this area where would you be looking. i don't know exactly it can be everywhere it can be in in the czechoslovakia over the border it can be in russia it can be wherever in the world. someone is flying to another country i don't know exactly where it is and so when something like this happens. and you mention that it might be that they sell it on or it might be that
11:09 pm
they actually ransom them back to the state they might just call them say ok we've got your jewels how much would you give us for the does that so i think go on. i think it is going they would try to rent them to get money from from the states i think is what i think now ok and do insurance companies ever does a guild with criminals to try and get stolen items back they do it eels sometimes. they say no but this is a way high little time they are discussing with the police how to find out the stone things are they have helping to find back get back these stone things this is like when governments say we don't deal with terrorists and then. you know the hostages not in
11:10 pm
a legal power slow but from time to time they're doing it so it's delayed or it does go on and and when that sort of thing happens i don't this is complete speculation but the brits like a film so i have just added is that this the handover happened how do they get their their items back and how does the money get sent to the criminals are you to take lawyers and the money can bill be transferred from somewhere because ins or whatever i think this is not a problem. true too. to try to transfer money and they give it back and then nobody really has again they and you have to have to get photographs and everything to make it reliable and. someone has to go there and like someone to pick it out and take the vote it all right there were thank you for giving us an insight into that is that world a band reagan there's
11:11 pm
a lot in sure thank you so you're a big fan thank you. leagues chinese government documents of reveal the details of the mass detention of the countries we get muslim minority at least a 1000000 people are believed to be being held in internment camps a group of investigative journalists has now published the papers which contradicts china's claim that the camps of voluntary reeducation facilities gys embassy in britain has repeated its claim that people in the camps are trainees whose personal freedom was fully guaranteed. these confidential chinese government documents lay bare the control and repression that reign in the internment camps of jean jiang 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 chorus of social. experts believe there are more than 1000 such camps the
11:12 pm
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 or a do wattie the business woman 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
11:13 pm
harsh disciplinary regime detailed in the leaked papers where. 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 but 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 for. 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 it peer fabrications if you want to have a document about this but. i think it is center where. we have a 7 people it's published but that dismissal food no one the so-called china cables
11:14 pm
coupled with witness testimony are impossible to ignore. more or less from adrian senseis a researcher with the foundation victims of communism and specializes in china's treatment of religious minorities you saw him in that report he joins us from st paul in the u.s. state of minnesota welcome to d.w. are you convinced that these documents a genuine. yes i'm convinced they are their contents matches very closely in my previous research findings their formatting matches very closely with other documents and affected their highly confidential and secret is unfortunately very consistent with beijing's propaganda and lying campaign by trying to cover up what they're doing. so you we heard you speak in that report about china committing cultural and genocide just outline for us what it is the beijing has against its weak of minority the weakest have been very difficult for china they'd like to
11:15 pm
tibetan step in a very restive minority different culture real in roots different religion different language so we can identify more closely with central asian cultures with eastern ball rather than beijing so since maui invaded the area in $1049.00 do we just have sought to fight for their own cultural independence or even political independence and the chinese have found it very difficult to govern the region and so how do. through your research as have you been able to establish a how and whom amongst the weakest chinese or farces choose to put in these places . yes i was able to obtain insight into very detailed spreadsheets that list the names addresses ideal numbers even the age and the gender of those who are living in areas of minority and who are also detained thousands of them are detained in
11:16 pm
the focus of the internment of pain is clearly been on the attaining men between the age of $30.59 heads of households in some areas 30 to 50 percent of household heads have been put into either prison or internment camps. so give us an idea then those people that those weakest who are not in these interment camps what is daily life like for them do they go about their business and interfered with by the chinese state or is it does a chinese state make itself part of their lives whether or not they're in these camps it's become normal for we go holmes to have cameras in front of the entrance to see who comes in who leads it's become normal adults who have any family members in internment camps they get regular visits from government officials to check on them to make sure they're ok to make sure they don't have quote unquote emotional problems so out of problems it's become an open air prison or police state where
11:17 pm
life outside the camps might be better but it's not free and so given the number of people who are in these camps and the number of people who are affected by this issue how does that why does the chinese state even try to keep it secret. well that is a very good question it seems beyond belief that you could just try to and turn between one and 1800000 people and think nobody will notice i think the chinese government has become very confident in its technological abilities in its ability to suppress information especially in this remote regions it's become continent also in its ability to put on a show to the world just cease to country itself differently and what it shows to its own citizens this is not the 1st time we have heard about these internment camps or we've known about it since since at least the last year where is the
11:18 pm
international community on this issue the international community has really been severely lacking firstly in speaking out i mean if you will come to know about an atrocity and we've had plenty of evidence already even before this incredible leak there's a real responsibility to speak out clearly that's the 1st step even at has proven to be incredibly difficult beijing has come up that many governments around the world notably in the belt and rode countries to speak on behalf of its oppression in shinji a remarkably many muslim majority countries saudi arabia and others actually signed a letter praising what beijing is doing among the muslims and the weakness. and you put that down to what you put that into economic pressure. this economic pressure is also political benefit many of these countries don't have a good schuman rights record beijing ignores debt the west gives them trouble this
11:19 pm
is one of the aspects but i think many of these countries believe that the world's future is more in beijing then in washington d.c. they might have become disillusioned with former allies for simply shopping around for a tentative options so rather than offending beijing they seek to court it to keep the options open and selling out a couple of 1000000 weakest on the way even if their muslim brothers brothers apparently is a small thing so given the rather bleak picture you have just painted there. from from your point of view it does sound like there is nothing that can be done for these people because no one will back them speaking out makes a bigger difference than many of us realize beijing has responded even to weakness have brought in extra who have speaking out spoken out some of their relatives were released not into freedom but at least out of the camps beijing does care about its
11:20 pm
international image but i think we need higher sanctions we need economic sanctions maybe technological sanctions we need to increase the cost of beijing committing such as human rights atrocities because if we do not then the c.c.p. will become emboldened in might even start to export their mother to other countries who are willing to do the same. sense. of research of the victims of communism thank you so much for joining us. thank you. that's a day is the un's international day for the elimination of violence against women one of the most widespread human rights violations of our time around the world when estimates that about $238.00 women are intentionally killed every day with most of the murders committed by their partners all their own families the u.n. report goes on to say that more than
11:21 pm
a 3rd of women around the world have experienced some kind of physical or sexual violence the figures are particularly high in parts of africa where nearly half of all women have experienced violence with this aggression is also a problem in wealthier parts of the world here in the european union about a 3rd of women are estimated to have suffered violence and abuse to a friend's house or one of europe's highest rates of murder for women now the government is in has announced a new law to better protect them the doubloons lisa lewis examines one of the cases that prompted the change. and you good he 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. they had split up 6 weeks earlier he had harassed her ever since were then one morning he was waiting for her at the horse stable
11:22 pm
where she worked and he tried to convince her to take him back. when she refused he pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the heart and the lungs my brain is still blanking out on what this really means on the pool i think it's trying to protect me otherwise i'd go crazy. or fool. i can't imagine i will never see my daughter again. but doesn't only blame her daughter's ex-boyfriend she's also furious with the system that she feels that her daughter down this main level 2 weeks before he killed her he broke into her house and he wanted to frighten her he was convinced she was seeing someone else i saw deplane went to the police station to press charges but she came out crying the police downplayed things and didn't take her seriously. they didn't recognize how dangerous this man was that they
11:23 pm
later decided to drop the case. i am so angry at this peter arkell system where men shield other men and which doesn't protect women. 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. the government is working with lawmakers from all across the spectrum and we are ready to act. the new law will introduce electronic bracelets to keep violent men
11:24 pm
at bay and judges will be able to issue restraining orders within 6 days and more women's shelters will be opened. even if. i meet took part in the country talks and course the measure is 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 coffee with. foremost it's really important the police get psychological training they need to come down from the patriarch role and macho pedestal and really listen to women who are asking for help. if a woman says she feels threatened they must take the necessary measures to protect her. we know there are many women who went to the police asking for help but were turned away and now they're dead. 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 you can talk through this with us
11:25 pm
already in your executive director of u.n. women welcome to day w we read in your report that about a 3rd of women experienced a physical or sexual violence why do you think it is so widespread. because we do live in part here and he as we heard before from these testimonies and some too many men in the world still feel they have the right to control remain in seeing them as their concessions. which we've seen the widely reported or wolfpack gallon rape trials in spain this year and there was the notorious gang attack on a danish tourist on indian public transport in 2015 when we read about these sorts of cases we wonder are they aberrations or is there something about the way these men or wider society is view women. we know that in
11:26 pm
all countries all settings and everywhere there are men too many men who feel that they can do whatever they like with sweeney and i don't see women as of less value a lower status and want to control when in and too many men are still prepared to use violence to keep that power * at that hour structure going and that is what we see when women are attard and even children as you're talking about today and yet when we saw in the report when someone with a woman comes forward to the police she is often ignored or not taken seriously what's behind that mindset. well we are we are all part of this of a system and we still unfortunately live in a world where men have more power and we mean at the expense of women and what we know from evidence is that when your train as the mother rightly said before me
11:27 pm
when you train police social services the health system they do show a storage teams to both work with we mean and on women's rights and sexual violence and also together you do get another kind of treatment of women who come and report and they're treated with more and i think most of our professionalism and that's when you can actually also protect women who need protection and take mentor coach who need to be sentenced to thank you for joining us right here from our u.n. women thank you. although it's almost done but the conversation continues online you can find us on twitter i've got news follow me after philco though for you forget use the hash tag the death of a good. news
