hardly any other european country see so many women murdered each year a new law is said to protect women from from a site that is a defective. and he describes it as a life sentence she says there's a gaping void inside of her ever since march 2017 when her daughter was killed by her ex-boyfriend and we need to pure soul they had split up 6 weeks earlier he had harassed her ever since then one morning he was waiting for her at the horse stable where she worked and he tried to convince her to take him back but when she refused he pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the heart and the lungs. but anik doesn't only blame her daughter's ex-boyfriend she's also furious with the system that she feels let her daughter down this main level 2 weeks before he killed her he broke into her house 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 so the police downplayed things and didn't take her seriously and 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 but the government says it is taking the matter seriously it's been holding weeks long consultations with victims as to say sions across the country and it's working on a new law to better protect women against domestic violence. 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. it's really important the police get psychological training. they need to come down

from their patriarchal and not show 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. but 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 spent the suffering she now has to endure. in a move designed to protect jobs working a fast so has taken drastic measures sugar and cooking oil can no longer be imported but now these essential staples are running short. here in bonn for in western kenya fast so only 20 employees are left here making sugar and production will soon grind to

a halt and the reason for the slowdown there's no storage space left for domestic sugar the state run company isn't able to sell it because imported sugar is cheaper . than. many merchants are importing legally but there are other merchants who import illegal sugar the market is saturated and we can't sell what we have in storage here we just can't compete with the low prices of imported sugar. to keep the production cooking oil producers and book enough ah so are having similar problems with illegal oil imports they know the country depends on foreign cooking oil. when his team will be q.c. according to estimates working afonso needs 100000 tonnes of cooking oil annually we can only produce 13000 tonnes of so if you count all the domestic producers together we produce around 25 percent of what's needed with one quarter. did was one us who put up a pic will not being able to produce enough is just one problem companies there are

not catering enough to the needs of their customers who would prefer buying oil in one deed or bottles the import ban is hitting wholesalers hard they're hoping it will end soon. looking at it more closely it's not really a ban there just no import licenses being issued just. let didn't. hairsplitting that doesn't interest the sugar factories managing director in bun for a he's just happy with the results. and the amount of product in storage is going down but when the imports were banned we had $24000.00 tonnes of sugar in storage now it's less than $14000.00 tonnes that means that the measures of cause customers and outlets to buy our products are so we've also been able to win new customers just as well as to us but the

government's policies could also have a negative effect many analysts are saying that sugar in oil will be hard to find here in 2 months. we move on to germany in former east germany people planning to flee the regime were met with the full force of the notorious secret police the stasi their spies intimidated not only dissidents but ordinary citizens as well. visit the building where they used to live. when the 2 secretaries lived here in their younger years spies from the stars he used germany's secret police monitored them through the kitchen window. but then the tree was smaller i was even dizzy to see people from the stars he standing there no as for me i just recently read about it. we never would have

thought of such a thing. no i don't think so either. they read about it in the stasi files a couple of 100 pages of intercepted letters private mail and official correspondence and most of all reports from spies including the layout of your loan as aber and zilker all falls flat. you must have someone looked into my life and i had no idea about it this is made me feel very uncomfortable for years i didn't want to have anything to do with it i didn't even want to read the file on the news. what's there. but i have to live with it. in my experience you always get through life better if you can live with a situation with no hope that. they wanted to leave east germany they had applied for exit visas it was here that they were subjected to hours of interrogation they never wanted to set foot in this place again well

let's just go and you have to go back to the place of far away but i have a really bad bodily feeling really bad i could just cry then do it. now. to this day they feel humiliated by the tone used in the interrogations. through the system here. in the service. so is a greeting it was like can see right away that your slant not only is out of you better watch out don't even cross the street the wrong way we are everywhere are just huge threats. that was more than 30 years ago only anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall the stasi documentation authority made the files accessible zilker or fallen ilona zabel speak publicly about what happened there explains young germans why they risked their lives to leave east

germany. i wanted out just like i didn't want anyone to tell me who has the right to decide where i live even if it were social or whatever but we didn't want that and at that age you're also brave enough to do it as much as most doesn't even know somehow never getting out or only to a couple of countries that it was decided i could go to i never agreed to that i had said before that i wasn't happy with that and then i thought you know i just want out of here i want freedom is that if i had but at some stage it all petered out both women withdrew their exit visa applications so cut off our marriage a pastor and that allowed her to travel alone as a but had a baby and was allowed to go to the west after all. abdul cut dear lost both his arms several years ago after accidentally touching a high tension electric cable still he's determined to win
