hello anti richardson. i thank you very much for joining us, dominic pele code, the ex husband of the french woman at the center of a mass rate prompt that her shots the world has now been sentenced to 20 years in prison. the maximum term for his crimes in france is 50 co defendants were given terms ranging from 3 to 15 years. less than prosecutors had demanded. leaving court is just outside of the quote said she was, had never regretted making her case public. even though it had been an ordeal. a former husband repeatedly drugged and raped her for almost at 10 years and organized for dozens of other men to sexually abuse his wife. she's outside of close, as she still has hope for the future. it is literally only only about this when i opened the doors to this trial on the 2nd of september of last year. i

wanted society to be able to understand the proceedings, and they have never regretted that decision. because i now have confidence in our collective ability to grasp the future in which everyone are women and men alike. and she can live in harmony with mutual respect on them and understanding respect. is that going to be on school? thank you very much. for more on this story, i spoke to my unit southgate, vice president of the feminist french association was a the, from the newsman. i asked her if she was happy with the verdict. we are happy that they were record nice to put tablets in this case because we know that 90 percent of the rates accusations are, are not classified today are classified results pursuit. but what, we're not happy, it's about the very lenient and very small combination for searches of the accuracy

. we know that to she said pretty cool is being for using instruction for this case . and we have men who have raped who have a sentence, who gets about 3 years with a lot of suspension. so we would life that the most, the largest to win the nation would have been held for all of the people who have raped her. so your think these terms were to, for, according to the institute of public policy, a parents big thing tank, 86 percent of the cases of sexual violence and up to 94 percent of raped cases are entirely dismissed in friends. when you look at those 2 facts together, do you think french authorities are too lenient when it comes to sexual violence? yes, and there is not investment enough in the finding out the proof to condense people . so normally on average, the person who gets a convicted for raped gets about 10 years. so in this particular case, seeing all the things that made it a worst case, we would have counted all the things would have incurred a pendant that is the same as the average,

which is 10 years. 41 percent that does get condemned with what we need. it's funds for the investigation. so the 94 percent of a rape cases did get archived result any pursuit is because there is not a money investment to allow people to research into their investigations and just for international audience to better understand where does that funding come from? who can make that available? so currently we have, we sent over 60 some of these associations, a proposition for a lot cutting to go. so a large cause sizes law that incorporates it all the items that we need, including a psychological co, pretty much for the victims in, at the moment from the state country that funds the less of compared to the other european countries investigation. so we're asking for 244000000 to help us combat of sexual violence against women. tell me more about what is in that plan. what measures would you like to see put into lots to help combat sexual violence?

and so we would like and particularly that is there is a training in specialization for emotions, tots for police, meant for anyone who was welcoming to women who were coming forward and telling this story. and would also like, especially by sports, who would like of the money as well for the accomplishment psychological or for all the victims in for the front of a population as well, and also to do prevention and information programs. so in order to deconstruct the gender stereotypes that begin this continuum of violence, that culminates with rape in the 70 side. a lot of one was also writing about this case was what it said about french society. when you look beyond those specific measures more broadly at french society, do think that it too has to change. yes. because the days, the real time state contribute to this type of violence, the most community is constructed against this notion that we made in the future.

and that they are worth less than their objects. so we can see that out of all the men who have come to take advantage of these, the crime. and together with the dominique political, even those who have refused to take part in it. none of them have alerted to produce in a period of 10 years. this will be effective and left her posted in a situation that was very dangerous. and over a period of 10 years, not one person, not one man have come forward anonymously to the police to denounce these. and the fact that just outside of co insisted that this trial beheld in public how important do you think that was to get attention to this case and open debate about sexual violence, a diesel slide to we are only talking about it internationally because of her choice to make it public and it's a very brief choice because we know this too much, it's attached to the victims of sexual violence. and this is a very important for us. it's not every woman who is in disposition. uh, is that pretty cool is a particular type of victim in the sense that there was material proof and features

of all the rapes that she had suffered. she's also a very, let's say, integrated in society. so she's the wine to me to class. he threw her sexual grandmother. so these are supposed to dictated in a way that we, the public can empathize with her. but we extend our inputs each other victims to work in that position where they cannot speak publicly about what has happened to them because of the stigma attached. well, thank you so much for joining us to speak about these important issues. those my unites are now sca vice president for the french feminist association or the some of these month. thank you again. thank you. your questions president followed him years lensky has joined to european leaders at a summit and brussels. he said, european security guarantees will not be enough to protect his country in the war with russia and nato, and the u. s. must be involved. he also believes a cease fire alone would not insure ukraine's future safety. the following is, we have to understand that we cannot leave with the frozen conflict in our

territory when we're talking about cheese fire in any conflict in any more, people know what will happen afterwards. how we should, as you should have in mind, what will happen tomorrow in order to create ceasefire today? otherwise you would just freeze into conflict, and that's, that is why ukraine needs guarantees of security. we need our strong position on security guarantees. of course, we want to want to finish the war. we want peace, we want the stable piece and it goes without saying that russia is not interested in that. and it's constantly demonstrated by restaurants. you know, these brussels bureau to, if i was under phenomena gave us her assessment of the landscaping remarks. a president zelinski had a very clear message to the you opinions here in brussels. he made clear that they

finally needs to live up to their promises when it comes to weapons deliveries. he said, ukraine does not have enough weapons that ukraine needs 19 defense systems to protect its people to protect its energy infrastructure. on the potential ceasefire, he made clear that the ukraine ones to end this war, but to be able to agree to any talks they needs robust security guarantees to prevent 14 from you folks from attacking q crane in the future. and the top of the list is of course, and they told membership for kids. and he also mentioned his talks with the french president about the potential european keeping a peace keeping force on the ground. but he said that he would needs to get more details on that and find them. and he will also ask about donalds trump, and he made clear that he's not afraid of doing that. so i'm returning to the white

house. he views, he, as he said, as a strong man, and he, one seem to be on ukraine's side. now zaleski has asked for the you to speak with one voice on issues of ukraine security. how likely do you think that is to happen? well, i think that we need to keep in mind that so do you opinion that has been able to be united since the beginning of russia's ward on ukraine despite having different opinions, despite some member states, 1st and foremost of course hungry trying to look any financial and military aids, so kids, so every time, despite all of that, they have been able to come together. but of course, the, the longer the war continues to more difficult. it will be, especially when we consider that there are states like the voltage states, for instance. and poland, they consider themselves being a frontline states. they are afraid that if you create

a folder that they could be next to the other members of the u, a. p. and you didn't like spain who they don't see this urgency because of course the far away from russia. so there are different opinions and it will be more and more difficult in the future. i think to, to unite and to have a common approach to how they are going to continue supporting ukraine and anything else we should be looking out for alexandra. what else? what else is on the table today in brussels? on the table is the big topic. a do use role in the world. so of course leaders will be speaking and trying to find a joint approach to a 2nd donuts trump presidency there will be discussing how to respond should teach, impose tariffs on your pin products to, to reduce the u. s. h. to create and they will also speak about syria and, and the draft, the conclusions that i have seen. they states that the full of the set receive is a historic chance to rebuild and re unite the country. but of course,

the question is, how can you appear in union play a role there? and so all those issues also on the agenda. thank you very much for that update. speaking to us from brussels, that's alexandra phenomena. and president vladimir putin has admitted security failings over the killing of a russian general in moscow. earlier this week, he made the remarks during his annual news conference pushing there also said that russia was not defeated in syria despite the overthrow of the submerging regarding ukraine. vote and said that he's ready to talk to president for a lot of years, a landscape. he also mockingly challenged the west to a high tech duel suggesting russia called stripe kid with its new arrested missile to see if the west could protect ukrainian capital shots of you. there's no chance to shoot down these missiles because that gets worse. deputy, that's going to let you name some object. what saying here and concentrate older

air defense and missile defense forces. there seems to be hughley approval people and we will hit it with the direction of the audio and see what happened. i think we are ready for such an experimental, more experimental got to is the other side. ready? got totally, a little wasted on do you know these rico bureau chief? you're your shadow has the air about pollutants challenge to test russian missiles against the western air defenses. in ukraine, this response was given to every mark. this is a west west clay beings. it's put in slate. us, you go back on in the blanket is too crazy or a stick me style wasn't in fact an old and the silos. it has just been slightly modified, so put an argue it says its own new weapons and so the development of the old bonds and then she said what they had, it sounded to me quite spontaneous. not like a specific plan, but it could be understood as a signal to the best to made. the 1st of all is that the rush of wouldn't stop find

firing or do you credit no matter how many invest in defense systems are working. very important is determined to keep fighting in ukraine, but in a sat. is that the situation? what's fundamentally changing in favor for that off an army? don't boss. when oscar, when russia would find them to recapture or re gains that awesome region of course, cuz that was occupied by that you create an army put in didn't want to give a specific date. she simply promised that everything would be done properly and 3 kept charts for me. this is a signal is that the pick up to over the course region is not going as planned and asked on the piece with you create and putting was rejected to the short term sees 5, because in his opinion, ukraine is not ready for one. it's because russia $13.00 q south basically putting repeated the same field that's ukraine has namely that the other side would only got the forces. power is a ceasefire justified. even hold on. it was due to these regal bureau chief, you're ever shut out. and now let's get you a quick reminder of our breaking news at this hour to the close ex husband has been

jailed for 20 years and the french man's rape trial. that has shocked the world. dominique, political, drugged and raped his former wife for nearly a decade. and that is our show. thank you for watching. the books view will tell you who we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future feelings about what's going on in the industry. instead of being discussed across the continent, d, w, and use africa every friday on the w. artificial intelligence as part of our lives beat on social media platforms or in the chat i.
