Victory over big coronavirus there who had a threatened with a 2nd front on a trip Oakland Porter with russia. Im phil gal welcome to the program Turkeys Parliament has passed a law allowing tens of thousands of prisoners to go free as the country tries to reduce overcrowding in jails and curb the spread of the coronavirus but opposition parties and other critics say the law excludes anyone critical of president of the once government the temporary release doesnt cover people jailed on terrorism charges including politicians and journalists who were arrested in the crackdown that followed the attempted coup in 2060. Its an awkward moment for a group photo members of the once party ignore appeal is your physical distancing from the president of the Turkish Parliament perhaps not to. Rising since they also ignored the oppositions criticism of a bill that commute sentences for about a 3rd of turkeys prisoners are excluded from the bill are journalists aligned with the opposition or others critical of the government jailed on what are widely seen as flimsy terror charges. This is a sentence commutation that fits your political priorities the law introduced by edwins a k party and backed by his nationalist allies the m. H. D. Converts some prison terms to house arrest the turkish Justice Minister says 17 prisoners have the corona virus and 3 of them have since died womens organizations and human rights activists have been campaigning against the legislation. Almost all the crimes committed include theft fraud physical assault Sexual Assault and violence against women all of them 90000. 00 inmates will be released from prison. The coronavirus pandemic is keeping turkeys daily life on hold a 48 hour curfew went into effect last weekend and beginning friday residents of over 30 cities in the country will be on lockdown. Welcome to what do you make of this move. Well turkey is. Given the number of the council in europe their country that has most prisoners under 65 years in all Member States of the European Council expresses a lot. So its about 296000. 00 people are in prison injured and the decision of the Turkish Parliament includes criminals includes people that killed other people rapers but not Political Prisoners so he shoemaker reports about corruption you stay in prison and a guy who was corrupt the street so that explains everything how the situation to reduce. So given that situation then what do you think is his motivation this is about keeping what political enemies behind bars. And i think its beyond personal revenge because it includes people like former party leader of the h d p r t c that he demurred china she was running against him there was a complaint to prevent it from becoming president of turkey bases are eventually going to very prominent person is also. Who is. One of the most prominent figures of Turkish Civil Society and. Probably was one of the people who was very active in the role of the Civil Society in the protests well not a case for personal revenge but is not the moment for personal revenge this is a moment to save lives east people its a kind of the Death Penalty what arrogance decision means for these people to stay in prison. At the present figures talking about 60000 cases just under 1300 deaths during this pandemic what are people making of the way the president is handling the crisis well i mean its now force times the figures from april 1st. So this is a dramatic increase of coral no virus cases into ricky and this is just what we know so i mean the question mark you see is tricky is not a western democracy or liberal democracy in there where you cant be sure that the u. S. Official figures are the real figures so we dont know how the situation really looks to tricky for our ground if you watched a year ago and it to accuse one of the leading countries in the fight against corner by reason is helping italy self spade is still in germany unfortunately if you dont listen to the if you cant channels that are not controlled by her go on you dont learn a lot about the crisis and the most recent case went to Church Minister of interior announced that in 2 hours from his announcement people left to stay at home and everybody practically went on the streets to buy whatever to need for their home center so this is the best way of probably spreading coral enough to everybody so its a complete disaster and search strategy in the fight against corona virus a quick word about some of the normal politics if you like before the pandemic of the worlds concentration turkey had allowed thousands of migrants to stream into the no mans land between its borders and greece you know what has happened with this situation since then. Well it did not it precisely so you know moved they were more or less forced to move because 1st of all they were told you know that entrance is open there is no Border Control anymore and he has to jump on the buses most of these people move back because they do realize that there is no such thing and theyre going to understand that this way of kind of pressing on europe did not pay off for talking to you thanks for joining us as the man im member of germanys abundance for the green party. Have a look at some of the others todays other coronavirus developments the number of confirmed cases around the world is approaching 2000000 and more than 120000 people have died of virus related conditions that is official figures show that hundreds of more people have died of covered 19 in britain than previously recorded the new figure includes corona virus victims in Nursing Homes the u. K. Only registered people who died of the virus if they were in hospital taiwans reported no new covered 19 cases for the 1st time in 5 weeks and austria started to ease its lockdown allowing small shops to reopen st social distancing rules remain in force. Well the International Monetary fund has issued a bleak growth forecast for the Global Economy warning that 2020 will be the worst years since the Great Depression of the 1930 s. The i. M. F. Chief economist said the World Economy was expected to contract to 3 percent this year due to far reaching bashes to contain the pandemic including lockdowns business shutdowns and travel restrictions but the upbeat about next year and theyre predicting a robust rebound with a 5. 8 percent growth. T w Business Reporter actually torture panda has more welcome ashutosh which countries are likely to be hardest hit. Now that i have has categorized this as a truly Global Crisis which means that Little Country would be suspect of course im going to it would be a good one in the out of it as. It does underscore that how did you manage a country that who actually suffered a lot because of this country that especially depended on dab childhood tourism and ignored it because of the long. Suffering a lot and a lot of those going to their dependence on Oil Countries like nigeria and either the countries that could actually bear the brunt of the prices because the oil demand has did it on meijer. It has also pointed out to concerns in europe or the euro zone countries who do see us shot down. Good only because of the launch of the 54 even if this is. Now yesterday the i. M. F. Also announced that debt relief for 25 member countries how much will that help. You know honestly its a good start but it is something that you and at this stage of the article that you should start working this up and it was going to come together and work hard at that price is the fallout from that crisis is needed my eyes so its a good beginning i mean we didnt do the final step the debt relief well we had to focus on actually going to t. V. In order to take care of all of the head for our debt and that would be coming out of 50 be it or just this one but really kind of has pointed out that this crisis. Might do lead to a fork rishon unfortunately so far they havent seen any. Of this the students which as we know and as their Different Countries and it says that thats not enough you would be much more than that you need much more than that then thats what the end of say is but at 1st we might do actually at each and 2nd serve they are not only sort of the g 20 and most of the leaders said that they would do what the way its had instead of what would be in the future so good a market that this point of arlo looking forward to some measures the need for look if you will be going to you that you said we dont need so so why not much has happened. Thank you for that patrick well lets take a look now so we have a noose around the world to interest coronavirus lock down the biggest in the world affecting 1300000000 people is to be extended to at least a 3rd of my nationwide t.

Now an investigation by d. W. Reporters in 2016 has helped italian prosecutors convict 4 human traffickers for smuggling Nigerian Women to florence to serve a sex slaves the defendants 3 men and a woman receive prison sentences of up to 16 years italian or charges are in the case based in part on work done by d. W. Which learned of the trafficking ring in nigeria and follow the trail to the city writes groups of praise the convictions as a rare success in the fight against sexual exploitation. Well under increases one of the d. W. P. Reporters who uncovered that trafficking ring when he was reporting from west africa is now based in cape town in south africa welcome address so tell us about the report you coproduced back in 2060 well back then troll the number of migrants from western africa to europe was on the rise so we produced a 5 part series about the migration between west africa and europe we visited nigeria nigeria as well its really and we talked to a lot of victims but once we reached its really of course also wanted to talk to human traffickers which turned out to be of course very difficult nobody wanted to talk to us despite the context we have made previously in in news jr also in nigeria but then later on we found one of the victims of Human Trafficking who worked as the prostitutes on the streets of florence who was ready to talk to us about what has happened to her lets have a look. In 2016 d. W. Reporters investigated along the Human Trafficking route between italy and nigeria starting in been in city when i jewry and girls are recruited. It is here that traditional priests forced them to pledge loyalty to their traffickers. The migrants then passed the dangerous desert in the eyes are on their way to libya. From there they crossed to italy where tens of thousands of nigerians and theres prostitutes selling sex for as little as 10 euros after Long Research one nigerian agreed to talk to us about her madame this is what they call nigerian traffickers here under one condition she wants to remain anonymous the madame trafficked her to italy to force her into prostitution. Was she well can do sometimes. It would be to us so we can betty we cant know that you. Know same way. We trace down the madame in the suburb of florence in the dark and apartments in the jury and colleague enters 1st with a hidden camera and under false pretense morning good morning. How are you you know tomorrow. He meets in norm i go on one rare and 6 female young nigerians insides. Afterwards we confront the legit madame she denies all allegations of trafficking but constantly contradicts herself the girls she says are tenants. And then there if you do prostitution to get money to live here. I will move heaven help you go oh i do want to pull back you might well be brutal. So its a lie when they say that there. Is no we talked to the state prosecutor about our research who then starts to investigate and finds proof it is no lie because of the corona virus pandemic she is only able to send us a written response after the conviction i would like to thank you for your invaluable cooperation in the opening of the investigation which led to the identification of the significant number of victims humanitarian organizations are taking care of the victims now it is not clear what their future will look like or if they will be allowed to stay in europe permanently but their time in slavery has come to an end. About 200. 00 creation 100 tell us a bit more about the exploitation the women faced. So the young woman you have seen in the report was spoken out about her own my down she actually told us a story that we had many times from other nigerians and that sort of situation she was recruited back in nigeria with people promising her a greener pasture a Better Future in europe they said she could cross simply walk as if made there or you know just trying to draw a normal job she agreed she was then taken to europe by land and sea by middlemen which were apparently paid for by them my dom by the Human Trafficking we have seen in the report and the moment she reached her lead she was told that now we have to pay back 45000 euros and theres no other chance for us to do that then by prostitution she was basically forced into prostitution and she was not the only one who was forced by this very much the prosecutions found out in a time and that she had she has been doing things on a very not scale and its only in trans as well as germany she brought various goals to 2 to europe for prostitution and for so to do it their work they had to go out at 5 pm every day they were not allowed to come back any time earlier than we am if they came back they had to go back to the streets prostitute themselves even if they were in that period they had to work it was a very tough time for them and yet just thanks to the carriage of this one young lady we talked to it later on also decided to talk to the prosecutors the whole thing came out actions and the end of the day this month on this winter i think they had to go to jail as well as for the people who supported her and 9 girls and free again and why is it generally so hot for prosecutors to secure convictions in these cases. Because most of the girls are scared to speak out theyre scared to talk to the authorities because theyre illegally in the country they came through the mediterranean they work as prostitutes there they have to sort of get to talk to be authorities a little bit of a Positive Side though is that in been mean city and the whole region in nigeria where a lot of the prostitutes are coming from the highest Traditional Authority of the above 1000000000 recently said that everybody who has sworn an oath that its related to Human Trafficking this is not valid anymore so this is a chance many observers are saying that more and more young women will be coming out will stop this kind of work and expose them madame said of course hopefully this will also reduce the number of young girls who are taking this very dangerous journey from nigeria to europe thank you for that drink creation in cape town. Colombia has long been a haven for venezuelans driven from home by the economic crisis on by violence in the 2000000 have found refuge in the neighboring country since 2015 but now thousands of venezuelans are making their way back any way they can and who worked in the informal economy lost their jobs when columbia posed strict social distancing bashes those who cant afford to stay on leaving and because public transport has largely been closed down many of making the return journey on.
