Im sorry kelly welcome to the program strikes are expected in bellerose today after president Alexander Lukashenko firmly rejected calls to step down now the political discord and bella bruce is beginning to take on an International Perspective russia has offered military help at the shango has accused nato of deploying military forces near the countrys border sunday saw thousands joined the biggest protests yet but it wasnt the only rally taking place. Opposing demonstrations in the streets of central minsk. With this man at the heart of both embattled by the russian president Alexander Lukashenko. Dear friends i didnt just call you here to defend me you came here to defend your country your independence your families for the 1st time in a quarter of a century. Lucas shankar dressed thousands of loyal supporters on sunday after days of protest could bellow russian domestic politics in the international spotlight he accused foreign powers of organizing the opposition against him that the opposition is all paid off their provocateurs who went into the crowd where are the parents of the children who went to the protest its criminals who are committing these violent acts against our riot police here and that narrative about. Lucas shankar has ruled the former soviet state since 1904 and after his disputed reelection victory last week he is determined to stay in power moscow says its ready to help militarily after the crushing reached out to russian president Vladimir Putin twice in recent days. But just 2 and a half kilometers away from the main government building in midst an entirely different sentiment as a much larger crowd of tens of thousands poured into a rally at victory park organizers called a march for freedom. Movement continue we want changes and not just in the political sense we want human life to be valued in our country and thats the main demand so at the current authorities are in no way supporting this if theyre only making it worse. They say for all of this to happen luka shingo has to go they reject official results that say the president won his 6th term with 80 percent of the vote and are demanding a new election and a new beginning for the people of color us. Lets get more on these developments we are joined by the w. s your ear shadow who is standing by so yuri tell us more about the accusations that president lukashenko has made against nato. Well gushing goes clearly using the pretext of an external threat to distract from the real problem sorrow for it is that he obviously has very little support in his own country right now. Has disparagingly coulter the demonstrators sheep are being controlled from abroad and this isnt the 1st time look at shanghai has talked about a threat from abroad in the Election Campaign he even bought trades russia is a threat but know that he is looking to close the ranks with president putin as the subject of the socalled the russian threat is suddenly off the table and now he is saying that nato is that the real threat from today the bill the russian army will be holding military exercises on the border with loosely ania but to that step the step and the gushing course talk about the need to threat seem to me to be purely a propaganda measure nothing more lets talk a little bit more about those relations with russia and the role of russia in all of this because we know little shango spoke with russian president Vladimir Putin on saturday again yesterday on sunday what can we expect from russia in this situation. Well i dont think this is only about military support and i dont think flooding of putin will really be sending his armed forces to the us all the bellicose has remained a close ally of russias 1st look at schenkel doesnt need more troops he seemed to be or to have enough Security Forces of his own to crack down on the demonstrators we saw that last week and secondly putin seems to be very reluctant in his response to what has been happening in belarus in recent days we havent heard a single Public Comment from him but military support is not everything belarus and russia are already very close but it is possible that the putin wants to further deepen Economic Cooperation with belarus and that hes pushing for that and its also possible that to look at shanghai has been discussing a plan to escape to russia with love and putin after all the pressure on him is clearly rising talk a little talk with us a little bit more about that pressure how big is the threat of these protests to look right now all the british big its quite clear that the opposition will not give up and its clear that there will be more protests on the streets of many below since it is especially off the guest of the protests and the opposition doesnt want violence but rather dial it could even prepare it for dialogue with luka shankara if he is smart and if you doesnt want to end like all the autocrats or dictators before him he will agree to dial it with the opposition and maybe even lead it maybe we could see a roundtable with. Representatives from different groups of society and even though all of us said yesterday that and you election would lead to the downfall of the country nevertheless and you election is becoming more and more likely but that very much depends on how many people protest in cities across but there was in the coming days if you have easier to shadow reporting from moscow on the situation in belarus and the International Fallout thank you very.

But in the meantime the trial today starts of the named suspect in what is thought to be germanys largest ever organized child sex abuse case as equally shocking as the crime itself is the sheer number of people who allegedly participated a Police Investigation found that up to 30000 suspects were part of an Online Pedophile Network well hear now from our reporter who is covering the trial in just a moment but 1st this report about how one survivor of abuse is dealing with his past. As a child Marcus Dyckman was sexually abused for almost 10 years by 3 different perpetrators in his home town of coton. Today hes returned to the scene of the 1st crime this is where a shooting gallery owner funfair lured him into a caravan and raped him lets focus on food and i have this movie playing in my head that i havent been able to stop since the trauma have your move im lying here as a little boy 5 years old with a shoulder length blond hair make it on a bed with a priest white sheets with. The shooting gallery owner was lying naked next to him for 4 decades repressed what had happened today he drives his motor home through germany and fights for justice for other victims. More ive always had to somehow figure out for myself whats right and whats wrong because you dont believe anyone anymore you dont trust anyone and. The under a huge victims in the baggage blood back case probably going through something similar 130 investigators are now working on the case the largest known abuse scandal in german history so far they have identified more than 80 suspects but there are 30000 leads to other potential perpetrators person suspected of exchanging child sex abuse photos and videos on chat forums. Renzi. If you read the chats in particular you get the impression that by communicating with each other the participants reinforce each other at the believe that their child abuse is a socially accepted sexual preference is to prevent many perpetrators have no sense of wrongdoing its a case of appalling dimensions and goes far beyond germany according to the senior prosecutor Marcus Dyckman is still not free of his trauma with his group he supports other victims the group wants the statutes of limitations for sexual crimes to be eliminated as for the trial against the main suspect he has hopes that will extend beyond the baggage blood but case starts off with a signal is now being sensed that the perpetrators can no longer feel safe and that they will now be dealt with severely. Marcus dyckman sets off again to continue his mission of drawing attention to the fate of Abuse Victims its become his lifes work. Not one that he chose for himself. Lets get more now we are joined by our reporter mathias fun hide who is standing in front of the District Court in cologne where the trial is taking place in the ts this is supposed to be the largest sex abuse trial in germany walk us through whats at stake. Well for the defendant for yokel whats at stake is a prison sentence of 15 years and possibly preventive detention after that if he if psychotherapy doesnt work were talking about 79 different counts of sexual child abuse 6 years 60 of them severe cases of child abuse most of them with his own daughter which is 3 years old now and which she started abusing when she was just only 3 months old those are what is at stake for society at large. But whats at stake for society at large is coming to terms with the vast size of this paedophile underground network of people who sexually abuse children as you mentioned 30000 suspects yet they have 30000 leads and facts in this case that im currently investigating and the other charges that have been brought are just so horrifying to ts so tell us a little bit more about what we know about the alleged perpetrators. The perpetrator now we are talking about yokel hes 43 years old hes been trained to cook. And he met the wife and the mother of his daughter working as a doorman in the hospital where she works as a nurse but as a perpetrator is that investigators talk about they come from all walks of life one chat partner that exchanged basically his children is with he was a soldier falls a german army for the bundeswehr but. They are attorneys they are people from all walks of life and i think the disturbing factor here is that they have these chat rooms these very large chat rooms with. Maybe one of them more than 800 members actually reinforce as i believe that using tomb sexually is a kind of accepting except of sexual preference and how did investigators stumble on these chaplains just walk us through you know how how this network came to light. Well investigators started. Investigators conducted a house search not far from year some 20 kilometers from here in a small town called baggage plot. Yokel lives and materials they found his smartphones his computers contained a lot of leads to other perpetrators they managed to crack them open they managed to access the chats and theres a chat forums and with this one thread they were able to pull up this huge network of child abusers and actually they were overwhelmed by all this evidence and one state prosecutor told me that now they are already starting to use Artificial Intelligence to help them sift through all this material because its just so overwhelming that the scale in fact is very very disturbing and high and joining us from cologne where as we mentioned this trial is getting underway today thank you so much for your reporting. Well now in other news temperatures across the arctic have been increasing at about a rate that is twice the global average causing a record heat wave in siberia this year a small remote town above the Arctic Circle and the russian region saw temperatures that were nearly 20 degrees above the average correspondent emily short when traveled there to find out more. You can see the heat shimmer even now at the end of summer a few weeks ago they have set a new record 38 degrees celsius thats the highest temperature ever recorded within the Arctic Circle people here are usually proud of a different extreme their town is one of 2 places that claim to be the coldest on earth. Were used to the cold people here cant handle that sort of heat everyone bought electric fans they were totally sold out here people had ice cream and cold drinks we arent prepared for these conditions. Or we swam and worked it was fine even in the winter when its minus 60 degrees centigrade here we eat ice cream so working when it was 38 degrees wasnt a problem either. Me at discussion with them. The climate is changing every year and the ice is slowly melting people say the winters have gotten a bit warmer and the summer has moved by a whole month its longer now. With the with the it was india than thats a really nice its the buildings in venice are on stilts designed to drive down into the permafrost and give them a solid base the pillars also keep the houses raised so they dont melt the ground underneath but rising temperatures could threaten the very foundations of this town. Because the permafrost is melting houses here could kill. Because theyre built on pillars are Public Utilities are built on the supports which have their foundations in the ground if they move there could be accidents and there will be all sorts of problems if Global Warming intense allies. Russias arctic has already felt the effects of unstable foundations in late may a fuel reservoir near no real sq collapsed and 21000 tons of diesel spilled into surrounding rivers and subsoil the russian Metals Company in charge said the thawing permafrost was to blame scientists hope the environmental catastrophe in the reals will be a wake up call for afterwards.
