i'm sara kelly walked into the program every it's like a hollywood movie script thieves have broken into one of europe's most renowned museums and made off with a haul of priceless 18th century jewelry now police in the german city of dresden are still looking for the robbers while devastated museum officials try and work out what they've lost dresden screen vault 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 the 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
9:03 am
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 an issue it is it's a shocking case it's not just the state art collections that were brog 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 sex and later king of poland the jewels here are priceless. because in this context and i mean 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 there is no financial value we can work with with the jewelry to identifiable to sell on the open market the museum fears that the pieces might be broken up all melted down. the stolen jewels to 5 the allied bombings in
9:04 am
world war 2 were caught by the soviet union and we have a tent here in 1958 now dressed and he's hoping for their return from the hands of the thieves who vanished without a trace. and correspondent aaron tilton is at the crime scene in dresden erin you know 1st of all a tell us a little bit more about the investigation into the spectacular heist what's the latest. well as you can see behind me the police cordon around the window that the thieves actually use to gain entrance to the building has been removed and we're also told that forensics teams at least for now have called off the hunt for clues within the building although that's likely to continue in the coming hours we know that right now that they're looking for d.n.a. and fiber evidence which might help the police actually besar ascertain the identity of the thieves who broken the building however that search is likely to be a long and difficult one a police spokesman recently said that the building plays host to some 10000 or
9:05 am
several tens of thousands of people each and every day and looking for evidence of 2 men within that huge mass of information is like the proverbial hunt for a needle in a haystack we also know they're continuing to look at 2 small fires which are reported around. their own devices and at the time of the break in one of the power box and another one in a small personal vehicle and people believe that there could be a direct connection to the braking yesterday and we've been looking at the c.c.t.v. footage aaron of the break and the thieves they really seem to have an in-depth knowledge of the building what's being said about the state of security at the vaults. the people in dresden there are a lot of open questions when it comes to security and we keep hearing from both the police and and the director of the museum that the security concept was up to all modern standards over people here in dresden are wondering on exactly how people were able to break in so quickly there are questions about whether or not there was an electronic alarm system and why that wasn't triggered there are also questions about. why there were infrared cameras within the building and why the night
9:06 am
watchman weren't actually allowed to get involved once they realize they were thieves in the building also there are there people are drawing parallels to a theft back in 1987 here in dresden where a d.d.r. museum was broken into and a set of jewels was also stolen due in part to lax security preparations in part of the museum and also speaking to people in the street you seem to sense a real frustration yes they say you know the museum had a large piece of its history stolen but they're also seen a piece of their cultural history a piece of the city history was stolen as well. and it's interesting when you look at the artifacts themselves if you've ever been to visit this vault you know that they're you know they're really identifiable that they're very special. given that area and what is likely to happen to these artifacts. what we don't know directly however there are 3 main scenarios that being kicked around i mean they could be sold directly to an individual. buyer on the international market with people thinking that this may have been like a focus attack looking for specific pieces others are suggesting that as we heard
9:07 am
in the report there that the pieces could be melted down like we saw happen to a large gold coin that was most likely stolen from a berlin museum around 2 years ago still others are on wondering if this could be an attempt to blackmail the museum or blackmail the city but so far the police have been very tight lipped and we don't actually know what these intend to do with the jewels aaron tells and with the latest from dresden thank you aaron. in the former soviet republic of georgia a latest reports say that demonstrators protesting against the country's voting system are trying to prevent lawmakers arriving for a session of parliament during the night riot police were deployed to clear them away from entrances and some opposition figures were detained campaigners say that the voting system unfairly favors the hoolan georgian dream party which agreed to change the system last summer but so far has failed to do so now 200 demonstrators were injured in those clashes with police back then and he died. emily sure when
9:08 am
met with a young activist who has become one of the faces of this protest movement. wants to make noise. other times that i can put the things i can't say with words into music. 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 marco the government was pushed into promising change. since her injury the government has been paying
9:09 am
moscow'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. i'm still angry of course i've accepted the reality of what happened. i can't change that anymore i've become the victim of injustice. my face all of me. and when i see that that injustice still hasn't ended and that we haven't won that all that just strengthens my anger that rage essentially takes over me. sammartino cuttack going straight as 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
9:10 am
the georgian dream party are portraying the opposition protesters as an irrelevant minority. sure that. our support. for the georgia i'm much more. aggressive. and supporters. marco is determined to get compensation for very injury 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 i was just. marko is taking her case to georgia's courts she doesn't
9:11 am
plan to give up her fight and neither do the protesters. now let's bring in now emily sure when who filed that report and emily i mean you could really hear marco's frustration there in that piece you met with many protesters like her in to please see do they have any hope that the government will listen to their demands. well i think marco's hope in democracy and in the force of kind of the the power of the people was. very much what i found in many people there and it was really interesting to hear that many georgians said look we don't protest over economic issues or over there being no food in our fridges for example which can of course happen. in case of economic problems they said really we we really protest over ideals we protest about democracy and we've seen that kind of idealism in the
9:12 am
protestors outside of the parliament these protests have been ongoing this is the 2nd week now there were huge protests last week as well and smaller protests leading up to the one that we saw yesterday protesters kind of blocking government buildings all over the capital of georgia setting up tents outside of the parliament and they really want to keep the pressure up on the government in the hope that the government could compromise but i mean we heard the government's response we heard them essentially saying. they have more supporters than they do opponents so give us the back story here and really i mean why did the government go back on its promise. well the government voted on a constitutional amendment. in the parliament on the 14th of november and basically that amendment to change the system to a proportional voting system was voted down there weren't enough supporters in the
9:13 am
ruling georgian dream party now the ruling dream party official that i spoke spoke to said that this issue has really divided the party that's what he said he said that if the parliament hadn't given been given a free vote on this issue so if they had had to vote according to party line then the issue could have actually split the party so he very much presented it as either we give people in a in the party a free vote on this this issue or we kind of lose the whole party itself so it's a very controversial issue that's what he was arguing critics of course say that this is a strategy on the georgian dream parties side ahead of elections in 2020 because this current system gives gives the ruling party an advantage so people say that this is a strategy for them to cling to power and the government argues there's going to be a change to proportional representation in 2024 anyway so it's not for these coming
