The former u. S. Gymnastics coach has been sentenced for up to one hundred seventy five years in prison for sexually assaulting women and girls in an unusual move the judge allowed four days of statements by the victims before sentencing among the victims as one of the most decorated gymnasts and a limb pick history john hendren reports this staggering sentence mattered less than the statement it made who wow. Mr. Whitehead through to. Dr larry nasser was already handed a sixty year prison term for related child pornography last month that will keep the fifty four year old away from children for life perhaps you have figured it out by now but little girls dont see little forever to grow into strong women that return to destroy your world he pleaded guilty to molesting seven girls in usa gymnastics in Michigan State university through intimate treatments that he told them had say reputed value two thousand and. Six two grown men a. Big significant do with thing anymore but he was accused by more than one hundred fifty women and how dare you say sorry about everything youve done and all the lives youve destroyed we all see right through your. Europe of setting a monster that is only sorry you got caught the accusers included gold medalists some own byelaws alley reisman Gabby Douglas in Mckayla Maroney who statement was read by a prosecutor dr nasser was not a doctor. He in fact was in forever shall be a child molester a monster of a human being and a story. He abused my trust he abused my body and he left scars on my psyche that may never go away the victims anger went beyond nasser this monster was also the architect of policies and procedures that are supposed to protect athletes from sexual abuse for both usa gymnastics and the u. S. O. C. Abusers your time is up the survivors are here standing toe and we are not going anywhere on monday three leaders of usa gymnastics the National Governing body for the olympic sport resigned under pressure among nassers latest accuser is byles one of the most decorated gymnast in olympic history on twitter she said she dreaded returning to the Training Center where she was abused this week usa olympics announced it will close the texas center that haunts are whether the organization can regain the trust of dozens of women who say it failed to protect them remains an open question john hendren aljazeera. John joins us live now from chicago john can you tell us more about how events unfolded in court. Marion this was the largest sexual abuse case in the history of sport and it was reflected in the enormous volume of victim impact statements now nasser only pleaded guilty to seven cases that was to do to a plea agreement but under that agreement a number of women who also accused him were allowed to speak and they were expecting four days of victim impact statements but in fact because so many women were they say inspired by the addresses of those women that had stretched out to seven days which ended today and by the end one hundred fifty six women stood forward and accused nasser they said that he touched them intimately sometimes under towels sometimes at his home sometimes in the presence of their parents and the parents then gave statements saying that they themselves felt that they had not protected their children and that was one of the reasons the judge gave such a harsh sentence she said i have just signed your death warrant you should not ever be able to be outside of a prison again so the range of that sentence was forty to one hundred seventy five years but that sentence really didnt matter because shes already facing a sixty year sentence for child pornography the judge said she wanted to ensure that larry nasser would never get out of prison again yes and batting in mind the extent of the f. B. I. Use why did it take so long for him to be brought to justice. Well there are going to be a lot of recrimination is about that because there had been accurate accusations about nasser for years both at usa gymnastics and at Michigan State university where he also worked so in the end it took until after decades of this women had accused him in the past and those charges had been dropped or not pursued so by two thousand and fifteen finally usa gymnastics decides that they have a nuff of a case against him to bring it to the f. B. I. They fired him but what they didnt do is they didnt even inform Michigan State university where he also worked so there were more cases Michigan State says it found out in two thousand and sixteen here we are in twenty eighteen when the case has finally gone forward and now there will be investigations the National Collegiate Athletic Association says they are going to look into Michigan State university the president there says she will not resign and then of course youve had all these people fired from usa gymnastics there will be civil lawsuits and thats in addition to the appeal that dr nasser is likely to file thanks very much john hendren bringing us all that i test on that story. Brazilian court is expected to rule shortly on former president lula. Da silva is appeal against a corruption conviction which could have a major impact on his political comeback a popular politician known across the country as was given a nine and a half Year Prison Sentence last year for Money Laundering and corruption.

Well after a short a recession the judge has already presenting his case you feel half the votes and then we have to wait for the third charge before. I know that eventually its going to decide. Political future the first judge lets go he not only mind his complexion but he also asked for his sentence to be increased he said that he was the mastermind behind a huge Corruption Scandal year in the country and also that there is enough proof pulling that a Construction Company gave the former president an apartment outright and beach beachfront fright flex and that in exchange that we learned about helped them get contracts with the state old Company Without us where we are right now is a camp and have been formed by you will have a few dozen porters people have come from all around the country and theyre camping right behind me now you can see here some music playing people are home theyre tired but theyre saying that theyre going to remain here theyre anxious to know whether it will be what will be allowed to run for president in this years president ial elections yes a lot of anger about corruption but we know that you know is also very popular there in the country how might we all react if he isnt allowed to run an election.

Very frustrating questioning the whole political process of the field and wrong there isnt not enough rules to actually pick the press or the president because we are part of and voting for what you want hes being judged is not even in his name they say the whole political scheme to prevent him from running for office and. Tribune. Fiction and. Most definitely this will complicate the chances on running for presidency this is not the lonely charges that the president is currently faces hes facing six other cases three other investigations and that about which he will have to face among them resample hes being accused of abuse of power and also being beheaded of a criminal organization that worked to divert funds from the fate of.

And in sport Le Bron James hits a scoring milestone in the n. B. A. And hes the youngest person to do it tatiana will have. Already launched an air and ground operation in the in the city of afridi because of the y. P. G. Presence there at least five thousand people have been displaced in five days of fighting wants to create a thirty kilometer deep to protect its border with syria turkey says some two hundred sixty eight fighters have been neutralized in operation all of branch so far a kurdish commander says thats an exaggeration but he didnt give any alternative figures Stephanie Deca has more from the turkey syria border. We are very close to the Syrian Border here syria is just behind that mountain and weve been hearing all day really that weve been hearing the sound of artillery it ebbs and flows but it has been very heavy at times and thats because this remains a very after front line the entire western border. City in that turkey has with the province now theres also a turkish base just a little further that way the Turkish Military really doesnt want any media near its operations what weve seen weve seen helicopters hovering overhead there are tanks and of course the coldest and sound of outgoing artillery along the border thats been going on for the last couple of days and of course the United Nations now giving numbers around five thousand people have fled these border villages further inside to flee the fighting and they say what theyre really concerned about is it seems that they have nowhere safe to go well now another development syrians who survived a deadly snowstorm along the countrys mountainous border according on the lebanese government to open its doors to refugees seventeen people froze to death while illegally crossing into lebanon along a well known people smuggling route last week saying the holder has more from that because valley. But survived but she watched her father in law and sister in law freeze to death Syrian Refugees were caught in a fear snowstorm as people smugglers tracked them across mountains to reach lebannon seventeen people died including children said they asked the smugglers for help but instead they abandoned. We asked the smuggler to help us go back he wanted money he kept threatening us with guns we had no choice but to comply my father in law was old and needed to go back and my children needed and i had to go back the smuggling route is an eight hour journey through difficult terrain and on that particular day weather conditions were very bad the rescue and search effort lasted for days from the city of rekha she went back to syria because she couldnt afford to treat her sick child in Lebanons Bekaa valley her one month old girl died in syria and had to return to her family in lebanon syrians like her cant use government run border crossings if they dont want to lose their status with the United Nations its not just that. The lebanese authorities to open the border. Money to those who want to cross illegally. And that costs hundreds of. Hundred dollars we go to the government. Lebanon just like syrias other neighbors jordan and turkey no longer accept refugees at the start of the syrian conflict more than one of. Soon after the lebanese government said it was unable to cope with the vast numbers in two thousand and fifteen it imposed new restrictions ending its open door policy. Some lebanese politicians have been calling for refugees to return at least to areas where the war has ended and calm has returned but the u. N. And the International Committee of the red cross dont consider syria safe yet for many refugees safety is not their only concern. If we go back to syria we cant survive our homes are destroyed and so are our livelihoods there are no jobs so how do we live at least here we got some help from the. Father died in the snowstorm and his nieces. Lost their mother. The girls need to go back to syria to be raised by their grandmother but because they entered lebanon legally the only way back is through the mountains. Because lebanon. For more on this im joined by. He is a researcher at university of exeter strategy and Security Institute thanks very much for coming in to speak to us and getting the piquets allies out of a free and ending the kurdish hold on Northern Syria has long been a major priority for the one but is it your understanding that there is a clear plan or is there an element of improvise ation here i think has been brewing for quite some time and you know i think we need to be careful the terms that we use as well i dont think turkey has a specific problem against the Kurdish People or the kurdish hold on certain areas some of their allies in the Free Syrian Army are actually kurds themselves so their issue is obviously with the y. P. G. Being as they are certainly. Even a Sister Organization now the key thing that the turks are concerned about is obvious youve got the United States government on one side and the pentagon in specific for example general Raymond Thomas about a year ago was saying actually even less than one half a year ago saying that they asked v y p g to rebrand and call themselves Syrian Democratic forces so you know he actually came out and said this on t. V. And thats actually really angered the turks and push them further into the russian camp away from the nato allies so this is been brewing for quite some time and theyve been wanting to take action and i think only just now theyve gotten approval from the russians who are withdrawn from the area push them in to push the turks into the russian count but the syrians are assad and the iranians who are allies of russia are not happy about. This intervention in syria so it is that you know will the russians provide cover for turkey indefinitely moment definitely know by the end of the day turkey has played ball with moscow so theyre taken part of the process even though its quite clear to most people that its not really going anywhere its just a russian cover to basically for them to continue the dominant hold over the Syrian Government and the Syrian People themselves so right now its a kind of. Case of them sort of rewarding the turks for their loyalty over a period of time and at the end of the day although the iranians in the eyes of the regime are allies to the russians. Russia plays for its own agenda its not necessarily looking after one side or the other we know that president was outraged at the us starting to train a thirty thirty thirty thousand Strong Border Protection Forces what they call the n. Y. P. D. Held Northern Syria what are the implications of. Building an autonomous region under American Protection in this way i think weve got quite a good example of that actually across the border in iraq so if we look you know you had a kind of an american protected autonomous kurdish zone and it didnt quite work out especially when they started to push for independence the difference with syria of you see is that the most powerful kurdish groups of the y p g again possibly take a Sister Organization so what happens there is youve got an extremely powerful country like turkey north of the border youve also got the iraqis on the other side and earrings will not be happy to see any kind of autonomy from the kurds this was kind of tried to replicate as in iraq and it ended up in failure. Thank you thank you very much the german chancellor Angela Merkel has used her speech at the World Economic forum to warn against protectionism and isolationism she told the audience at dallas that nationalist solutions were not the right way to face Global Economic challenges lets get the latest from james base has been following all these developments at davos and so you have so many different themes that have been touched on the past couple of days weve heard from Angela Merkel were expecting to see donald trump but weve also been hearing from the french president emanuel macron. Yes and i think from these two powerful european leaders you heard the same basic theme which is stressing the importance of global trade and global news theyre aware how controversial globalization is and in some ways that is mocked by the u. S. President will be here in twenty four hours time the first visit here by u. S. President in some eighteen years because of that i think you heard the french president president talk about the need for a Global Compact on globalization to try and deal with the effects of globalization the whole world to get together and work out how to deal with the negative effects which have led to popular politicians like President Trump taking office in various countries and most notably the u. S. And of course President Trump in the last few hours in his administration announcing the new terrorists on solar panels and on washing machine is something that touches Climate Change of course but also protectionism with that in mind now listen to the words of the german chancellor. I will give the indices not sonali we know that there are national egotism is we see populism on the rise we see in many states a polarizing atmosphere many people seem to worry where the multilateralism will actually finance and who part limbs that mankind has in a fair and equitable way i buy stuff in the garden but let me tell you germany wishes to be a country that will lend its contribution also in future to solve the problems that were all together we think that shutting ourselves off against the rest of the world isolating ourselves will not lead us in target future protectionism is not the proper answer right so much speaking against protections and what sort of tone can we expect from President Donald Trump when he arrives and what sort of reception is he likely to get there. Well if i could answer that question this is President Trump we dont know whether hes going to be playing to this crowd and its a group here at davos that hes not been with before hes never actually come to this gathering even though of course we have the First Business from president of the United States in many decades are we going to hear something that fits in with the people here or are we going to hear the America First president the white house say yes America First stands but its America First not america alone will be watching the speech which is on friday were watching the tweets of course and the comment see makes when he arrives here in under twenty four hours time a little bit earlier i asked the Energy Secretary rick prep area of the United States what to make make of the speech he simply said its going to be all some will have to wait and see all right thanks very much james bays in dallas.
