12:01 pm
for beating her frustration i'm going to be young georgian activist who has lost an eye in anti-government protests and become one of the faces of the push for a full band. around. got one of the voices of rock and roll tina turner 80 who needs another hero. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us so it reads like a hollywood movie script thieves have broken into one of europe's most renowned museums and made off with priceless 18th century jewelry police in the german city of dresden are still looking for the robbers all devastated newseum officials try
12:02 pm
to work out what they've lost. 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 with oranges arrived at 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 shut case it's not just the state art collections that were brought but are saxons we now want to get
12:03 pm
a sense of the damage and the investigative work. at least over. 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 in this context and i we can't put a value on these items as they are unmarketable therefore to 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. and we can speak to you correspondent aaron tilton he is at the crime scene in reston hi erin what is the latest you're hearing there on the
12:04 pm
investigation. so just a short while ago the police were able to actually confirm that the burned out car which was found yesterday shortly after the break in was in fact the getaway vehicle that 2 burglars used to escape from dress and green vault which you can see just behind me right now now the big question is how many times they change vehicles and if they actually then use a 2nd vehicle to leave the city that's the avenue of investigation the police are looking into right now now when it comes to the green vault right yes you can see right behind me you might be able to see that police are once again continuing their forensic investigation of the rooms itself they're looking for any d.n.a. or fiber evidence which could help them ascertain the identity of the 2 burglars who broke in here yesterday but as represent the police put it to me earlier it's kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack you have to remember the museum welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each and every day so looking for evidence of 2 men could take actually quite
12:05 pm
a long time get erin we saw the c.c.t.v. footage and it seems like the thieves had an in-depth knowledge of the building i mean what does that say about security at the mall. or that's really one of the big open questions right now as you might be able to see it so there's a lot of dresner is actually coming and looking at the the window where the 2 thieves actually broke in and a lot of them speaking to me in are asking how could 2 men with an ax actually make it through security preparations that they put ours is secure as for knox but the really the question is if they actually did have inside information now you mention the c.c.t.v. footage right there and really if you look at it it does kind of look like it might have been a typical smash and grab as you know we've seen in at least one berlin museum in recent years if you look at the footage they actually were able to break open the display case with an ax and that and the museum direction said they were actually prevented from taking all the pieces in there just because they were actually sewn on to the cushion they were present so it does get that could actually indicate
12:06 pm
that it was just a typical smash and grab and that the people really didn't have that type of insight in from. nation that at least a lot of people here in the street seem to think they do have so and what is likely to happen to these artifacts. well that is the 1000000 dollar question i mean people are working from 3 different scenarios right now on the one hand people think that if this was a smash and grab that many of the artifacts could then be melted down and sold for their you know basic parts as just loose diamonds on the open market other people think that well they might have actually been working and looking for specific pieces and still others say that this might be a type of ransom style situation where you know the police or the city could then get some type of letter where the thieves actually offered to sell the pieces back at a very very high price right now the police are being being very tight lipped and at least the indication from what we've been hearing from museum direction itself is that this is more of a smash and grab type operation but still it's an open question and we'll have to
12:07 pm
see exactly what type of statements we get from police and from the museum direction later in the day. aaron tilton on the scene there in dress than thank you aaron. here in berlin thousands of farmers have entered the city to demonstrate against the government's agricultural policies the farmers have driven in from across germany causing traffic holdups in and around the capital organizers say they expect 10000 to join the combination of the protest at the brandenburg gate farmers don't like plans to bring in sirte to protection of insects and the environment. and let's go right to our correspondent covering the story for us at brandenburg gate hi hans why are we seeing this demonstration and why now. well what's surprising about the sim inspiration is that it's not actually being organized by any official organization of pharmacists more or less a spontaneous movement of farmers maybe comparable to something like the vests in
12:08 pm
france something like that it's grew out of a facebook group that was founded just a few weeks ago and has led to demonstrations all across germany by farmers driving their tractors and trucks into tollens protesting against the most recent reforms in agricultural policy that the german government is about to pass into law and these reforms see much foreseen much stricter. use of herbicides of pesticides and of fertiliser the follow say that this will threaten their existence that farming in germany for many of them will no longer be possible under these new restrictions so they're demonstrating against that but at the same time they're saying that respect for farmers no longer exists in society that they feel that they're being made the bogeyman for all ills environmental and otherwise in society ok so they're making their voices heard is
12:09 pm
the government listening. yes indeed the government is listening in fact 3 government ministers will be addressing the protesters here today the health minister the environmental minister and the agricultural minister so certainly the government is listening to them and even the chancellor angela merkel is likely to be meeting some of the representatives of these farmers but i think that does not change the basic problem that exists not only here in germany but across europe and probably across the world the fact that modern agriculture the use of pesticides the use of herbicides the very very intense use of fertilizers damages the environment here in germany the number of insects for instance has been reduced drastically within the last 10 or 20 years and insects might be a pest for farmers in some situations but for many many situations insects obviously also very essential for our survival so these are the difficulties that farmers and the society are facing and hands to the farmers have any proposals to
12:10 pm
address those environmental concerns i think the most important demand that they are making here at the moment is that these measures should not be put into effect without consultation with these farmers themselves they feel that they have not been listened to enough that they have not been consulted effectively they feel that many decisions are taking taken over their heads at the same time they do realise that there is. a globalisation going on in the world that agriculture elsewhere in the world is also under pressure and that environmental issues are becoming a lot more important they're saying that they are the ones that will suffer 1st if and if the environment sophos their existence is threatened by this so they need to they feel that they need to be talked to that they need to be included more into in consultation about these measures. covering these protests for us down at brandenburg gate thank you. now to some other stories making

a lot of times but. i was actually recovering from a hunger strike so i was almost permanently in bed so i wasn't exactly very jovial and it really seemed very abstract from where i was at the time because i had more pressing issues i had been on a hunger strike for a long time i was really exhausted and i realize that i didn't manage to upton my objective so i was in a really difficult situation but this prize. doesn't have any meaning for you yes internally of course and but primarily it bears some responsibility because mr sucker of kim self was a very honorable gentleman so this prize is basically an advance that i still need to be able to prove worthy of. how do you feel today

a diagnosis like mark moods can resemble a death sentence. dr knew immediately he wouldn't be able to help mahmoud under such conditions and that his best chance for survival would be through treatment outside of the gaza strip the doctor referred him to a clinic in east jerusalem he knows that will mean an unpredictable journey for mahmoud because even a sick palestinian child cannot easily enter israel. mahmoud has become quieter over the course of his illness he hasn't been to school for a year his father doesn't want him to lose contact with his friends so as often as possible he takes them to an aid organization that has afternoon care for kids. meanwhile vomits father has to apply for his son's travel to east jerusalem hundreds of relatives of seriously ill patients are waiting for the travel permit
