Kind of donation that he who casts about his children about he is about his nation that role he has been playing for the last 26 years now hes obviously looking for ways in actual fact to plates for time and cold with the protests. Today he said that the new elections in belarus can still take place but only after the adoption of a new constitution look i think i said today that to work on the 3rd to draft on the all of the new constitution is already underway he rejected that the 2 previous ones speaking about the timing of the referendum on the changes of the constitutional question was set to maybe in a year or 2 it depends on you and he addressed his words to the war press and one of the biggest and most important the factory in minsk the capital at the same time he doesnt intend to voluntarily resign until you kill me he sat there will be no other elections ok so this does not sound like an entire about face and better route yuri rasha to our correspondent moscow thank you so much. For the latest from brussels lets get bent we get in now bet has there been any reaction in brussels to that russian report that lucas is prepared to hold new elections. There then no immediate reactions but the you is more or less demanding new elections the e. U. President Bashar Michel invited the leaders for and you summit wednesday and he said today that the people of better roads have every right to elect their leadership freely and the that there should be no violence again protestors or demonstrations so this is a clear sign that most of the you want you elections but they stopped short of demanding the immediate resignation of an extended ricocheting with the president of the biller rues the you also could enlarge and widen the blacklist for possible sanctions against the people responsible in belarus for the violence but its not good clear if Alexander Lukashenko would be included on that list this is a very volatile situation there in belarus nato secretary general against bolton bagus been speaking about it what did he have to say. But Alexander Lukashenko the president of better was said that nato is putting troops together in poland lithuania and latvia the bordering countries to belarus and to insult back the nato secretary general said this is nonsense the nato agreement remains vigilant and for the defend its territory of course but there is no military action planned whatsoever against. Others in that region and this is from the playbook of full populist you say you have an outside enemy you have to fend him from him and this is whats happening right now and this vote makes is says remain calm and the e. U. And nato are hoping that they will not give russia any reason to to act militarily or to to to claim that the u. S.

Now the trial has started today of the main suspect in a child sex abuse case here in germany its thought to be the countrys largest ever case involving an online paedophile net for a man is accused of sexually assaulting his daughter in 61 cases for a very young age he said to have filmed the abuse and then share the videos in chat groups more than 150 suspects are also being investigated in connection with the Online Network critics say germany isnt doing enough to tackle sex crimes against children on the internet. Or for some analysis lets bring in dorothy char net she shes head of that pot germany thats part of an International Network fighting to end child prostitution child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes thanks for being with us let me start by asking you this is whats being called germanys largest sex trial abuse sex abuse trial ever what are you expecting from. Well we expect a clear sign 1st of all because it might be the Largest Network thats popped up but for sure its not the only one so we expect. The Justice System to react appropriately and we expect high sentences for this and after this we need all of connected to this case we need that particular shift to understand that its not an individual case its everyone. Initially says when subs cases come tonight but its an organized crime that were talking about which well the number of people who allegedly participated in this child sex abuse ring is staggering police say up to 30000 suspects were part of the online paedophile network well talk more about that in just a moment but 1st lets look at one survivor of abuse who is dealing with that experience. As a child Marcus Dyckman was sexually abused for almost 10 years by 3 different perpetrators and his home town of cotton. 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. But. I have this movie playing in my head that i havent been able to start since the trauma how do you work im lying here as a little boy 5 years old with a shoulder length blonde hair make it on a bed with creased white sheets. The shooting gallery owner was lying naked next to him for 4 decades microstate man repressed what had happened today he drives his motor home through germany and fights for justice for other victims. Ive always had to somehow figure out for myself whats right and whats wrong because you dont believe anyone anymore you dont trust anyone. The under a huge victims in the back in case a probably going through something similar 130 investigators are now working on the case the largest no no bew scandal in german history so far they have identified more than 80 suspects but there are 30000 leads to other potential perpetrators suspected of exchanging child sex abuse photos and videos on chat forums. 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 for the nth 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 plot but case. A signal is now being sensed that perpetrators can no longer feel safe and that they will now be dealt with severely. Markets. The man set 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. Just trying to hear what looking at this case this trial thats happening in cologne right now. Can you tell us how cases involving children abused over so many years can happen without anyone knowing well you know we often hear the sentence i wouldnt have believed that he sent a friend over that he said abuse and this is something very kind of touristic for such cases or cases of child Sexual Violence itself because perpetrators disguise themselves behind normal jobs also when you see the offender the potential offender in this case now. He had he was like a normal family man he had a job and often just often choose junk jobs that allow them to have access to children then the 2nd factor is that Sexual Violence happens most often in the circle of trust so the stakes are very high and this sets a very high barrier for anyone from the outside to notice specifically also because children and were talking about very small children it becomes more difficult we dont sense this civic signs that indicate child sexual abuse but you have indicators from. Many Different Things but nothing specifically of sexual abuse and then you know the fact is that Sexual Violence in germany student is such a bore so many people dont really. Want to report their reluctance to reporting that afraid to accuse someone forcefully so theres a very thin boundary between doing too much too early and too late and too little. What about the children who are victims of sexual abuse what kind of support do they need to help them recover what you need of course the very focused and very strong support for the child in floor defend mentally the mother who was not part of the abuse for instance or if she was or the other adults around this child to meet the foster care and then also that support for the force the families and we have a quick good support system for cases of child Sexual Violence in germany but whats new also to the professionals working there is that now were talking not only about 6 or 6 the abuse of children. But also about the production and distribution of own night of use in the t. V. And this is not the impact on the child lives show nikki thank you very much for talking with us that was daughter tantra nikki had a ecpat germany.
