accused of carrying out an attempted coup in 2016 off what you're about to see are scenes from outside the courts. many of those sent to start former command, army commanders and pilots. they were convicted of charges including murder, violating the constitution, and attempting to assassinate the president. on a massive trial is one of dozens of court cases targeting allege supporters of u.s. based cleric that's her dug in on her accuses him of orchestrating the failed coup . alright, let's get you more on this story. want to take you now to istanbul, to our correspondent there, dorian jones, dorian, what more can you tell us about the trial? well, this is the climax of what literally been hundreds of cold cases in the aftermath of the failed coup attempt. $500.00 defendants with senior former military officials, including the chief of the air force can took and there were 4 civilians who prosecutors claim with the ringleaders of his military takeover. they,

the prosecutors say belong to the supporters of italy, coolin who lives in self-imposed, exile in the united states. he too, was on trial in absentia and was also convicted civilians, along with the senior military officers all receive aggravated life sentences, which means they are in eligible for parole and will spend their life in solitary confinement. also a number of the pilots who were convicted of bombing the parliament to receive a perverted life sentences. this is all to, to do with this failed military takeover, which over 250 people were killed, 2000 people injured, which also saw not only the parliament being bombed repeatedly, but also the presidential palace and the turkish president reject typer one narrowly escaped being captured while on vacation in the south of turkey, leaving his hotel only 15 minutes before military officers arrived. this is a, most of them have to be chromatic venton,

turkish history. and this trial is in many ways seen in the end of this process of bringing those responsible to account. and while some are claiming that this is a way of silencing dissidents, do they have a point? but i certainly is the concern of opponents of president, one. the sheer scale of this crackdown a half to this failed coup is breathtaking. according to the interior ministry, 292000 people have been detained in the aftermath of the coup. also a 100000 people still in jail awaiting trial and 2 and a half 1000 life sentences out so far been given to those team responsible for the failed takeover. on top of that, you've seen over $150000.00, civil servants losing their jobs, including teachers and academics. and while there was brutal polter for the government to be a coup and condemnation of that takeover. and also support for the government's line that putin and his followers will in support of this,

distrust the scale of this, this crackdown is leading to growing concern that it is talking, being the opponent to the government rather than just going supporters and those involved in the coup, the government argue that you learn and his network of developed a very sophisticated and dangerous organization that has infiltrated the. so if you state from poor to take society and need such many measures. so all that one did buy into this line initially with one very rare unison unification of turkey's beat . deep political divide in the aftermath, but coup, which is now seen increasingly, critics of the land and oppose the government being jailed, including journalists and also leading members of the kurdish movement as increasingly leading to concerns that no one has used. this is a takeover and an opportunity to silence up opponents of his rule. dorian jones reporting from istanbul. thank you. want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. iran has frayed,

argentina, spain and italy poured onto the streets to honor and celebrate their late idol celebration of the life. to honor the death of a hero. sizings of fans gathered at the obelisk in buenos aires, in commemoration the football great void, very clear, very sad, but i have no words to describe such pain. i think as some people of their set go, it is debt. the legend of marriage on a is global victory. it's orange or paul steiger is and he was a superstar. he was truly great. he is especially remembered in the cities where he played like barcelona. like when i

came to visit him. if you go see him just well, you know, since i was born marijan, i was always a presence. he was a god for the whole world in a fishbowl or he was the best of the best far. 6 in naples with the fans and won't forget the 2 italian championships, they won jerry maradona's time in their city. but out with the money. this is a sign of that we will hold up all over nicolas. his death has rocked the world to fit ball. tributes are flooding in from the sport's biggest stars, including one from his compatriot and successor, lionel messi. even the vatican has expressed condolences hope francisco, who is also argentinean, and an ardent football lover himself had met marriage on a, on many occasions. he held the former football player and his prayers,

remembering him with affection. the rest of the world is following suit. while someone who got up close and personal with the legend himself is jimmy burns author of the book, the hand of god, the life of diego maradona, a very warm welcome. mr. great to have you on. now you wrote in your book that the only certainty about don is that when he dies, no matter how he dies. his funeral in one osiris will be as big as a veto's. and even then the people won't believe that he's dead. what you think he is so revered around the world? well, i would sort of qualify that the reference around the world. we've heard very enthusiastic ripples just then. i mean, he's definitely revered in the spanish speaking world, particularly in argentina, obviously. and the reason for that is, is that it argentines, a very nationalistic,

but they also have one person at argentine that everyone has heard up at a group called revolution. doing a marathoner probably. and i can read that the grace of for a little time. and now that he's dead, that i didn't really want to make a big show of it. i mean, when i sort of predicted years ago that it would end up like a beaten peron. i mean it's a very emotional country. it's a very irrational country. and i mean several european forwards including tragedy in france and various english football presence and said, well, we wouldn't imagine having a 3 day state funeral for any you awful orders. and the fact is that, you know, the europeans don't cite a different, you know, but you know, we have what we have, which is this legend. this is kind of extraordinary character, bigger than life in a way when you, when he was around and definitely will continue as a kind of bigger than life. idol and, and miss. let us not forget, he was

a man of certainly to, to different stories. one of the great genius on the pitch and off the pitch. a complete disaster in, in, in human terms. not nice because it was in a demon zone and the external demons of drugs and alcohol abuse, which, which impacted a lot on, on people who knew him not rhys's famine. it gets people kept rooting for him. despite the mentoring personal, a demons were kind of person was well, you're quite right. people kept rooting for one of one of the fascinations. for me as a writing is biography, was it in a sense the more i got into it, the more tiring it got the exercise and it was a hard drive to research is rife and also company was this helter skelter of our life. but in a sense and the times we live in with code and things, i mean he's holding up a mirror to us of, of basically our humanity. i mean,

is this guy who had enormous potential on the one hand and natural talent to create a ball with a ball with a full ball. and at the same time, as i say, had the zealot in a demon's which we all have in a sense. and we have it in spades these last 8 months, where people have been suffering in different ways. so i think the and he connected with people's humanity. and i think that outpouring of grief we're seeing in the streets where desire is naples in some parts of spain. has something to do that. to me, burns author of the book, the hand of god, the life maradona. thank you for joining us. thank you. you're watching the door news coming up next. indeed, every news, asia, and south korea digital sex crimes are in focus as a man has kind of a lengthy prison term for sexually blackmailing women. that story a whole lot more coming up with my colleague at rear echelon or just moments from

now. i'll be back with more news headlines at the top of the hour for your in the meantime, there's always a web site, you know, dot com on behalf of all of us here in berlin. thank you so much for spending this part of the day with us.

this super knows can sniff out the coronavirus with almost 100 percent accuracy. now dogs are on duty to come that the virus, helsinki airport. and because they are quick and very affordable, they will probably get more akin to a virus jobs in 60

with him. how to be done because as well. lions, if i had known that the boat would be that small, i never would have gone on a trip to cuba. i would not have put myself and my parents so much danger to the bottom of the theme of the book. give a flavor with love, one fun to look at that one. the global view of the law has serious problems on a personal level. and i was unable to live there much. i'm going to want to know their story in full migrants' turf and reliable information for margaret's mates. who is for me to be chosen is for you as for him, beethoven is for beethoven, is for them. beethoven

is for cars. beethoven is for beethoven 2020. the 250th anniversary year on deal here. this is a show coming up today. south korea's digital sex crimes in focus. amount is under the 40 year prison time for having a sexual block me and bring that freed all the women. it's the latest in a long line of digital sex crimes in the country. why do they keep happening? and overwhelm the hospitals with a surge of new cover cases from the festival season 6, people have to search be in the us capital for days for an available beds.

welcome to news asia. glad you could join us. also to teens in south korea have handed a 40 year jail to this 24 year old recent graduate for hitting an online situated black me and bring being coerced women into sharing, degrading sexual images and videos of themselves. and sort of these onto paying view was in online chat rooms, prosecutors said $38.00 people were involved in total, in what they called virtual in slave moment of women and teenagers. online, he called himself the doctor. all of south korea knows his way online. was arrested in march for running a tourist online today the cotton sold aside and he'll spend the next 4 decades in

prison for it outside the court. female activists read out statements from some of choice victims, september. and then in order for everyone to live in a safe society in the future, the court should also impose severe punishment on accomplices and set an example to prevent such evil from happening again. in total, there were $74.00 victims, including 16 under-age girls prosecute, just said the women were blackmailed into filming degrading and sometimes violent sexual imagery of themselves. that imagery was then distributed to paying customers by the messaging up telegram to at least 10000 people in some paying up to 1000 euros for access. remember, we live in a digital society that's evolving every day. those who committed these terrible

crimes are not human beings. the south korean justice system has long been accused of failing but take tens of sexual violence. it was one of the issues targeted in me to protest and 2018. activists have welcomed cho sentence as a step in the right direction. but there's still a long way to go. after his arrest, south korean police identified dozens of similar chat rooms and said they're being used by tens of thousands of people. and journalist friends for drugs, for more on this from saul frank, do you know how this ring of sexual black worked? well, what the managers of this site would do is they would recruit young teens. female teens generally at risk teens with the promise of securing them work as models. and they'd have them upload their photographs and then slowly get more

information from them, their names and their address. and then they'd ask them to upload more explicit material and then use that content to blackmail them into providing more explicit material in videos. and then they would post those videos to a sharing website that required secure passwords. and then they would ask, you know, users, potential users about web site to pay them upwards of $1200.00 u.s. dollars. and those people, those users would then have to prove themselves by uploading their only explicit material. there were something like 50 of these chat rooms and bought in something like $250000.00, people accessing these explicit chat rooms. but it's sort of, it's not the 1st instance that all the digital sex crimes against women in korea

are frank. why does this keep happening? well, that's a good question we, you know, we don't need to go far back to, to look at some other scandals that have happened here. recently the burning sun scandal which, you know, caught some, some key pop idol stars, some intertwining entertainers involved in drugging women at a nightclub called the virtue crn and then sexually assaulting them. they did, you know, ring that sexual assault and then uploading it and sharing it and message sharing apps. it has to do perhaps with the culture here. if we look at the nightclub culture, there is a thing called booking, where men typically occupy rooms within a nightclub and women in other rooms. and then staff are suggested to go into the rooms with the women and bring women into the rooms with the men kind of deliver

them. and it, you know, we commodifies women here. we've had other scandals as well. the whole spying scandal spy cam scandal where cameras were put in washrooms, there is public washrooms to spy on women. and then upload videos of there was cameras and other similar to this telegram sexting scandal. similar spindles where videos have been taken without women's consent of a sexual nature and uploaded on to websites that share those videos with more widely or even their own that i've been. but thank you so much for joining us. frank's way of answering he's in the midst of what's been called the 3rd wave of corona virus infections. the deadly surge coming in the weeks around the festive season. it has left the city's medical infrastructure, struggling to cope. the most visible of that struggle is the search for beds for

patients who need them. the most. 31 stocks, 50 and spend all morning taking he often has to work late into the night. garden is part of a 2 member team that runs an initiative quite charity beds, which started 80 years ago to help the underprivileged get medical care in private hospitals. since the team a charity beds has also been helping gain access to hospital beds and their normal procedure. and there is a procedure there to follow. after i get a call from someone, what we're going to ask for their medical, then i speak to the hospital staff within 48 confirmation on the validity of her, but then inform the patient and the hospital who to contact the mission. i keep calling up with the can then until the patient gets to hospital pretty obvious. what about the delhi has witnessed

a significant spike in the number of since the festive season began in. this is being quite the widest in the city with hospitals becoming there has been a shortage of prostitute beds in the cow. the many pieces in need of medical attention. it's difficult to get i.c.u. and even on i.c.u. beds in the city, i have to be printed on my started hunting. after dialing up finally and really ended up, you know, private hospital. so unfortunately there were no space available in the private hospital as man. so i was there in the tent for 2 hours, where there were a couple of patients already waiting for admission that the children found out of charity that says delhi is experiencing the latest we, because of the last execution of corporate restrictions and public negligence. we

need to address the problem, addressing the problem is reduced the kids and whole unit use the cases, then he needs to go for appended were 15. the complete shut down not for any other reason, but it will mean for social distancing. it will also enforce hygiene in a way that then says deline end up in a worse situation and finding hospital beds could become more challenging. but he feels passionate about what he does and we keep trying. members can see i want to be of use to people to help them if they are nice. people call me when they are in there and we'll all their lives are hanging by a thread. this is what motivates me to make. every single phone call is very important for me. i cannot believe even for a 5 minute deal and he doesn't says his only priority right now is to arrange a hospital bed for every patient who reaches out to him to have

a correspondent money or try to refile that report and she joins me now for more from delhi monday. rob, how does delhi plan to tide over the bed? shortage? well, since this started what is being called the could be when the city, it's become evident that they leave health care infrastructure was quite under prepared to deal with such an influx of patients suddenly. so to deal with the situation, to augment the bit capacity, what the locals, the delhi government have done it has approved, the national government will help. it has time to go wide belly with about $1000.00 additional beds to accommodate the patient. and apart from that, the delhi high court has also allowed the delhi government to basically leaders of 80 percent of the i.c.u. beds, including private hospitals, only $1000.00 fissions. so these are the 2 big reason. wish that is trying to augment expect capacity to accommodate all the patients that are coming in now. not something true pro. one of the people you spoke to mentioned in your report as well . another markdown is the city government considering this is

a possibility given the increasing case load. well, ascot of the current situation with the delhi government has meant being extended even to very recently to look up live because it will so that delhi is not going to go back down or the law go that direction, of course that up and the human zones but there will be no love down situation, that's what the government has made. but then taking some other measures like that, increasing the testing capacity even more. they are trying to put up more by testing lands in different areas. they have increased the fines for people who are not wearing mosques. they recently, the number of people who could attend a wedding in delhi was capped at 200, now they have reduced it to 15 order to control the spread. and there is also a proposal that i talk about delhi government is thinking about shutting down some markets which can emerge as called the court sports. but at the moment, this is also being done. at the same time, the delhi government is also

a shot in the tree to that nobody would have a loss of business. so these are some of the measures that they are seeking. but so far, the situation at the school with the delhi government is not saying that they're going to do another loan for the time being. thank you so much for joining us. but you're a troll. the very deadly and that's it for today. there's of course more now perhaps i did up a dot com forward slash issue, and you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well. but even now with images off site, no one knew that made landfall of the southeastern coast of india near the stage of a time when not too heavy rains flooded the streets of the capital chennai and uprooted trees. at least 3 people out of order to have died. we leave you now with these images. we're back to more of the same time

the coronavirus information. contact w. . competition, marketing. by intuition,

millionaire family friends find us and on youtube. while parts of the medical community are on the hunt for a vaccine against the corona virus, others are on the hunt for its origin. well, the 1st confirmed case was in china. the exact steps of the virus is very progression still unknown. the current working theory is that the virus originated in rouhani, but there's still more to learn sequencing the viruses genome is key for the ongoing medical forensic investigation. and scientists hope by pinpointing where

the virus came from and how it jumped to humans. they'll be able to develop the tools to fight the future evolution of coffee 19 it's a bit like a medical detective story following the clues should eventually lead to the origin of the corona virus that has brought us a year. the world will never forget. but to get the beginning, i have to work backwards. autumn has brought 2 things with it this year in europe, falling temperatures and skyrocketing rates of corona, virus infections, cold weather, forced people inside after socializing outdoors during the summer, with many tired of hearing to strict cove in 1000 precautions. infection rates are rising dramatically in germany. spain has been in a state of emergency sense the end of october on september 28th,

33000000 people had been infected with kovan 1000 around the world. on that same date, we passed the milestone of 1000000 deaths. meanwhile, life in china, where coven, 1000 was 1st detected, is mostly back to normal, with some health restrictions in place. but after strict lockdowns across the country, people here are once again able to go to concerts. new zealand declared itself coronavirus free on june 8th, and has only seen a handful of cases sense even allowing travel and hosting large events again. at this time, there had been nearly 7200000 cases worldwide. europe's 1st taste of the pandemic came in february. italy bore the brunt of coven 1000 then, and was quickly forced into lock downs. deaths and cases piled up in hospitals in the northern part of the country, prompting border closures around the e.u. . on february 21st,

there were only $78205.00 cases around the world. researchers believe the spark that 1st ignited, the coronavirus pandemic took hold in china. medical forensics is a big part of the equation. now. dozens of people connected to a wet market reported flu like symptoms in the early part of last december. the leading theory is that a man originally contract in the virus from a bat the w.h.o. is currently working to trace the viruses path to better understand how the pandemic could continue to spread. you know many scientific minds have been putting their efforts into retracing the steps of this coronavirus. one of them is dr. peter forster from the university of cambridge. he joins us on the show. thank you very much for coming along. your research traced the net excess of the corona virus, backwards writer, and the like. you might be able to do with a person or a species,

i suppose. but we were able to conclude by doing that. we get the data from the beginning of the 1st samples in december 2019 up to the end of february 2020. and then we constructed it's like a complex tree. so a combination of trees to find out how the virus had developed. and we identified 3 early types which we called a b. and c. . and comparing these types with the back coronavirus, we saw that the a type was the most ancient and b. was a bit younger and c. was the most recent. ricer have these 3 phases of the corona virus. where do we find those around the world? are they or are they everywhere? well, the a.b.c. types are all represented in china and in east asia. but we see a type even 2 to europe, a stray here. and north america,

and then later, the b. type takes over. so that happens in march and april. so it has developed by mutation, a more infectious type, which is then taken over the world in the course of march and april. so we saw that coming up in march in our data. so if we have all 3 of these types in china, as you say, does that mean we can pinpoint china as the origin of this correct virus? i have no reason to doubt that on the basis of our analysis, but the origin question really breaks down into 3 questions. so the earliest origin would be the jump from between species. so for example, from back to human and we did some calculations to find out when that might have happened. and interestingly,

the common ancestor between the bat that we have and the human coronavirus is on the order of 5 decades. so that might mean that the corona wild has been circulating in some part of mankind. undiscovered for decades,, just like the aids virus was not discovered until the 980 s., even though there were sawmills in the fifty's. now that we know about all the other solution to this conundrum is that we simply don't have the right back yet. and there is some other bat out there which is 99.99 percent similar to us. and we just haven't found it yet. so anyway, the 1st infection from birth to humans could have happened, you know, last year it could have been 50 years ago. we just don't know that yet. the next origin number 2 is when the corona virus started successfully spreading amongst humans. and that we have dated with some certainty,

so we think that was between mid september and early december 200-1000 the 3rd origin. sorry if i didn't interrupt you on that one. so, so that's quite a bit before we have the 1st case towards the end of december. how does the fact that it was spreading between people with the 4 then impact of the sort of working theory that it originated in with let me correct you slightly. there you said end of december is the 1st case. many scientists make that mistake as well . in fact, the 1st genome was submitted on christmas eve 24th of december. that is correct. but the 1st patients described with the coronavirus symptoms in a medical journal in the lancet, in fact, fell ill on the 1st of december. so inevitably, that patient must have caught it in november. and as for the origins of

all of the theory that the origins of the infection started in the rue hand fish market, i think, is problematic for 2 reasons. first of all, as i said, the most ancient viral subtype is the a type. but what we found is that the dominant type and will have, even in the early phase in the 1st 3 weeks, was the b. type 20 out of 23 patients who have until mid january have them be type only 3 of the 8. and elsewhere in china, you find more of these 8 types, for example, in, you know, and or in guangdong, in southern china, where indeed you have populations where, who don't. so i think there are better candidates than for the beginning of the epidemic. an awful lot of unknowns and yes, well the other point which is known is that if you look at the dance of paper from

january, it actually says that the very 1st patient who fell ill on the 1st december had no contact with the fish market. so this looks to me as if the fish market may have been an accelerator, a catalyst, but not necessarily the origin. there are something to foster from the university of cambridge. thanks for bringing us your theory and your reset. my pleasure now is the part of the program where you get to ask the questions of been submitting them through you tube channel surf. let's put one of them to ask science correspondent what the different vaccines cost and how does that compare to other health related costs in the pandemic? with reports a couple of days ago that a trial involving a vaccine developed by a team that at oxford university. and pharma company, astra zeneca had returned safe and effective results. it was the 3rd candidate to

do that in the last few weeks. it's time i think, to start talking about the next big step in overcoming the pan down there, which is the logistics of vaccinating the world. and that's going to be not only a gargantuan feat, it's going to be staggeringly expensive as well. but even so, a lot less expensive than what we're facing now on the health related monetary costs of this pandemic so far have been just immense. one recent study that i read said they could hit 16 trillion dollars in the u.s. alone. and that's assuming, by the way, that source code too is contained by next fall. that seems, will be key to that containment and compared to the cost of treatment in an i.c.u. unit or, or expensive high tech therapies like monoclonal antibodies, they'll be

a bargain. the oxford vaccine, which astra zeneca has promised to offer at cost for the duration of the pandemic. and beyond that, for low income countries of the company says it will be charging only around $3.00 a dose or less for it. since you need 2 of them, that works out to about $6.00 per vaccinate ation. the other 2 vaccines currently ramping up are or more expensive, but still come in at under $25.00 a dose. distribution costs will of course, add a lot to the overall total. but effective vaccines are still orders of magnitude cheaper. that hospitalizing possibly millions more people and, and continued lockdowns that's a science correspondent derek williams. actually got a question for him at a vis

a you tube, and you can submit, submit one through the t, w news you tube channel, and that's all from us as a day. and for the latest developments on the coronavirus pandemic, you go to our website, www. dot com slash culverts 90. so next time, take kat and do stay healthy.
