Memories of a turkish woman who became a statistic she is one of a growing number of women killed each year in turkey by someone close to the box more and more turkish women are refusing to stay silent. Until passover of profitable lands in brazil landless farmers are fighting Security Forces and both landowners to stay on probably 2 beds cultivated and lived for decades. Welcome to the Program Leaders from around the world back the german chancellors call for answers from moscow after government confronted russias leading opposition figure cena vonnie was indeed poisoned the laboratory off the German Military found that he was attacked. With a deadly nerve agent. Was developed by the soviets in the seventys moscow disputes the allegations. Its not often that the German Governments response is so swift and so openly condemning chancellor Angela Merkel calls the poisoning of alex a novel attempt at matter alexina of only if. Only is the victim of a crime he was meant to be silenced and i condemn this in the sharpest possible terms in the name of the entire German Government chefs. Now danny remains in an induced coma at a violent hospital and in serious condition the attorney and Anti Corruption activist fell ill after boarding a plane in siberia heading for moscow on the 20th of august its believed someone poisoned his d. Before he boarded the plane the pilot was forced to make an Emergency Landing to save life the German Government says testing carried out by its military proves a soviet era never agent novi chuck was used. It was we expect the russian government to explain itself over this incident there are very serious questions now that only the russian government can and must answer. Went on for. 3 years has been fighting to regress or of what he calls crooks and thieves. And you know the United Russia Party has always won for 20 years and even if they lost using fraud they won anyway. The outspoken opposition figure has organized numerous anti kremlin protests has been arrested several times for civil disobedience and even attempted to get on the ballot to run for president in 2018 his bed was blocked by the courts not only has suffered physical and verbal attacks in recent is the. Pressure is now growing on the German Government to stop a major project being carried out with russia the controversial gas pipeline not stream to. The government has been defending it against criticism from many sides including partners and the u. S. But now even senior politicians from eccles own party say putin understands only one language. When its used in his if not stream to complete it now in this situation with a poisoning annabella reduce that would mean that Vladimir Putin could feel 100 percent confirm that hes destroying the right kind of politics because the west doesnt do anything at least not in the fields which are the only ones that hes interested in. Russia is due to hold Regional Elections on the 13th of september and his allies have been campaigning to get their candidates elected but for now his family and friends are just holding on to the hope of only pulls through so a bit more about this and what it means for german russian relations. Hes a Senior Member of the Foreign Affairs committee of the German Parliament for germanys Opposition Party if the pressure is now growing on the German Government to stop a major project being carried out with russia the controversial gas pipeline north stream to north stream to have to be stopped. Well i believe with this is going to be the most lively discussion that were going to have here in political circles and berlin according to our position we cannot have business as usual so we will advocate a moratorium concerning that project until the russian government is prepared to cooperate with investigators to clarify what has really happened there in tomsk to mr not only because this is what the world is waiting for answers from russia on this terrible incident do you think that a moratorium is likely to go to this is likely that you can get majority of that political pressure direct there are voices in germany already calling for a complete stop of the project this i believe would go too far but we have a situation with mr novelli who is hospitalized just a few 100 meters from here from the German Parliament and we have a german russian project this pipeline and business as usual is simply not an option so i believe the German Government will have to come up with concrete specific proposals as to the future of our relationship concerning the project north streets too as well. Many observers called narco statement yesterday watershed d moment as russia no longer rely on a reliable partner and what does that this mean for german russian relations. Well knowing the chancellor having observed her for many years and having worked with her now for 3 years here in the parliament having seen the wage that she operates in that she communicates it has to be said very clearly the German Governments statement yesterday not only involving the chancellor personally but also her leading ministers even the federal presence has been informed was unusually strong and i think it marks a major break with russia marks a major break with german russian relations when one looks at the past when should know and i think thats important to our International Viewers that germany and russia are interlinked on many levels historically culturally economically in a way that few other countries are and against this backdrop the statement yesterday was truly remarkable. If you can the chance i will speak to germanys part as nato and the e. U. About this case you expect a joint response here. I do expect a joint response from the European Union and nato as an Opposition Party we have called on the government not only to bring this to the European Union and nato ever we believe it should also be discussed in the framework of the o s c e the organization for security and cooperation in europe the council of europe and even the United Nations because russia has signed many documents that would allow Free Democratic discourse Free Democratic activity on its own territory the russian constitution promises that as well and we believe it is absolutely important to hold russia to its own obligations in all international fora.

Im going to turkey where violence against women including mother has been surging in recent years the trace of male family members or friends cultural norms in many communities dictate that what happens in a family home stays in the home more and more turkish women are now speaking out. The friends describe her as a fun loving young woman. This was the image turkey was left with of the 27 year old student. On july 16th exboyfriend strangled her to death and them found her body. Was in a photo commemorates and her favorite. Now her friends beth and layla sit here without still numb with grief hunting constant fear of becoming the next victim of violence against women. Again getting back maybe tomorrow theyll be announcing my death it starts right from the very 1st 36 encounters and they say you cant go there alone. You mustnt wear this or that you cant meet so and so on and on and on and my thats just another form of violence that the brutal murder you know can see can understand wave of protest nationwide against the rampant violence against women and. Their thirtys and many communities responded with violence sending policemen to beat the protesting women. The number of women mad at each sharon taki has more than doubled since 2012 now turkish women are no longer keeping signed affidavit my god who knows friends are also taking to the streets every week in the hind town no longer will they sit by and do nothing as violence against women steadily rises but progovernment posse journalists like for my gosh. Chek dont see the problem so much in a piece of men as in the stumble convention on combating Domestic Violence turkeys them government signed and ratified it in 201231 of the december called whatever happens inside the 4 walls of the familys home want to stay there. This convention is incompatible with our faith our culture and our traditions and the name is it. For years took has been representing the victims of Domestic Violence im a survivor as shes often seen the abuses appeal to the court for leniency and sympathy. Because. This woman has done this or that ruined my male pride in a stain my car thats what motivated these actions. Something in based their entire defense on it which of the men go to kansas hometowns how important to them is the protection of women. Gun violence before i have to confess but its important for everyone to understand each other and get along better make sure. The roots of the violence line are bringing. What has to change. Measure victim cannot due to concerns agree. Times to change in this country until it does the protests will go on when i joined responding from istanbul in the report we heard about the brutal goes in that sent shock waves across the nation but its not an isolated case how widespread is violence against women in turkey. Physical violence psychological violence against women and so called femicide its all chronic problems here in turkey and many actually say its getting worse now the government does not publish reliable statistics but according to one well known rights group more than 470 women were murdered here in turkey last hear of by their partners their relatives thats the highest figure in a decade and for 2020 affected by the coronavirus roque downs at these numbers are expected to be even higher now many women here ive talked to tell me theyve had enough will fit they are scared that they are going to be next so they are trying to raise attention on social media they are widely sharing the stories of victims and survivors in are demanding justice and theyre trying to take to the streets now this is become more difficult in recent years he in turkey as the government has severely restricted basic rights and freedoms but these protests do happen weve just recently seen that here in istanbul and if you go to these protests you can really feel how much fear and grief is out there but also anger anger at the governments failure to act to better protect women and to enforce existing rules and regulations but in the report we also heard about the Istanbul Convention thats a treaty designed to protect women from violence so if rates of violence and abuse are actually surging as you say why is there no debate in turkey over whether to destroy withdraw from these dumble convention. Well that sounds a row nick especially if you consider that this International Agreement has been forged here in istanbul nearly a decade ago thats why its called the Istanbul Convention it was back then hailed as a major achievement for womens rights it was signed by 45 countries turkey was in fact the country the 1st country to ratify it even before germany and france and now were seeing a new debate coming from within the ruling party present in ones ruling a. K. P. Whether turkey should withdraw now its north a new debate as we heard in the report for years conservative politicians and progovernment media have been urging the government to scrap that treaty they argue that it threatens traditional Family Structures daveed promote so quote immoral lifestyles or b. T. I. Ideology now this is really grounded in anything the treaties says but this piece of paper really has become the target of populist restore extend all humans and now it seems everybody is waiting for president it on himself to have a final word on this so what you mentioned. Is his party and the debate thats going on right now what role does the government policy play. Well talking of prison adam himself he has for example publicly condemned the murder often argue taken that many say hes otherwise remained silent and now hes delaying a decision on that Istanbul Convention because he knows there is no consensus within his own party there isnt even consensus within his own family one of his daughters is in fact on the board of a rights group that has been defending this convention according to our latest poll more than 60 percent of people here in istanbul do think that convention is extremely important for defending womens rights so if he really goes for it if he withdraws turkey from that treaty then there is going to be major outcry domestically here in turkey but also abroad and its probably also pushing touch even further away from the European Union. Reporting from istanbul thank you jim a powerful storm has been creating havoc in the east asia typhoon my sex whipped up stormy seas near japan west rescuers are searching for a livestock ship carrying 43 people have capsized and sank with thousands of cattle on board and at least one person was killed when the typhoon made landfall near south koreas 2nd largest city busan.

But the small landholders wont clear the area they have occupied for 22 years without a fight they filed a complaint against the eviction order because they feel theyre being treated unfairly cicero and the others have each others back. If we are not recognized as the owners of this land than these big landowners cant be either we have customary rights. Suddenly fires break out just a few hours before the evacuation is set to start cicero and the other Small Farmers move out further up on the hill a meadow burns for the farmers it is clear that this was no coincidence. But of our marriage must this is an intimidation attempt they will accuse us of arson up there is our nature reserve.

Numerous groups are active in europe and elsewhere seeking to overturn a whole raft of lords that have legalized among other things abortion and gay marriage the World Congress of families provides a powerful platform for such groups and this week one of its found those alan carlson joins me from rock with illinois what lies behind his close connections with russia and why wont he leave the Gay Community a love. Alan carlson welcome to conflict zone the World Congress of families is a very benign name for a group thats credited with inflicting considerable misery on many people around the world these days the Southern Poverty Law Center which has tracked your movement for a very long time so youre one of the Key Driving Forces behind the religious rights global export of homophobia and classifies you as a hate group do you wear that with pride. I dont accept the label at all not were not a group at all the Southern Poverty Law Center has its own agenda its own fundraising goals and it distorts the truth of events i. C. s approach and we group yes as a Prolife Group we affirm understandings of the natural family the family based and focused on the procreation and bearing of children and we see that as. A thing that family style that family form is vital to the future of the human race so why is it then the conferences have frequently featured plenty of hate speech havent they let me quote some of them to you tell the l g p t tolerance tyrants this leavened the mafia these homo fascists these rainbow radicals that theyre not welcome to promote better anti religious and anti civilizational propaganda this was from one of the speakers in tbilisi in may may 26th again that certainly fits the hate speech bill doesnt it. I dont think so i think it talks a monocle a conflict over only different views of human life and human nature. And it also reflects the reality that the l. G. B. Chiba but in some places and in some ways and sometimes has become very. Actually based has focused very much on attacking its opponents and dehumanizing them so that they. Are they have a hate group now are they well certainly they they they bear some of the characteristics of being a hate group yes they are they do not listen to arguments they do not respond to rational arguments they seek to silence people and they seek the silence particularly those who are motivated by religious faith so i yes there is something close to 8 replaced no im not. Propaganda pieces saying that well you have had frequent speaker joe conferences scott lively the man who proclaims that gay people were responsible for the holocaust and the rwandan genocide he was sued in u. S. District court for his role in promoting an antigay law in uganda and the judge ruled the case couldnt be tried in the u. S. But his comments were highly constructive if scott lively he said it added a did a vicious and frightening campaign of repression bt i people in uganda this crackpot bigotry he added could be brushed aside as pathetic except for the terrible harm it can cause a question before the court is not whether the defendants actions in aiding and abetting efforts to demonize intimidate and injure l g b t people in uganda constitute violations of International Law they do that really sums up what you and your friends are about doesnt it crackpot bigotry the words of a u. S. District judge. Well scott lively has not been that close of a friend to this book but it is true through of something of a midair one of my colleagues and led him to a planning meeting and he was there i certainly know its true im not sure and i think scott goes too far and has gone too far so i dont think youre dealing with a representative person of our of our movement or organization i think scotts work pushes the. Too far and i am not i dont affirm it well you havent repudiated him in the past have you well actually i have i have put out a saying saying exactly what i said in a number of interviews that is claims to have influenced policy in places like uganda and russia i said i just dont think are true this is just one example as i said the of the rhetoric used by you is stuff designed to inspire fear and hatred of homosexuals isnt that in 2014 the w c f claimed that its cofa civic dialogue that it had never taken a position for or against so called sodomy laws nor had it attempted to rollback the rights gained by these individuals that was pure nonsense wasnt it the Human Dignity trust claims that through your support fan to gay legislation you helped turn gays in many countries into outlaws outside the protection of the law was that your aim i dont know of any case where we had any direct role or even in any direct role at least in such changes it is true we have never taken a formal view on i guess or calling out a sodomy laws. And in fact my main my focus and my concern when i was certainly right was leaving the organization i retired now but i was leaving the organization my focus was always on the protection of natural marriage and the understanding is that by and large leaving people alone. In their bedrooms was was perfectly legitimate when it became an issue is when they wanted to make Public Policy building around alternative family forms as some call it i would call it as a builder of rejection of the natural family model and the reason they state should support that and that model alone it does thats where children come from thats for sure born its where a stable relationships between mothers and fathers are really important finally important to the future of their nations and each of the children thats been our focus and i think youd be looking at sort of what i recall some say. Not the main message but maybe some extreme edges of things where. I just dont accept the argument where you say you have never attempted the you and i was a sin says its never attempted to roll back the rights gained by the community the w. C. S. Never has never will advocate for any policy that bring harm to innocent individuals but one of your leading lights in africa to raise oka for form a w. C. S. Person of the year as being key in trying to row back out g. B. T. Rights in africa she strongly supported a gay cost antigay law in nigeria and this is a law that not only mandated long jail sentences for gay sex but banned gay people from meeting in groups thats policing the bedroom isnt it and thats what she stood for up to 10 years in jail because you love someone of the same sex if you feel good about that. Well if youre going to monasteries is a good Roman Catholic and shes been working to defend and protect. The christian understanding of marriage and. And defend and protect children and shes been very ill i dont like on that hasnt she talked to carlson shes been pushing for laws that provides up to 10 years in jail because you love someone of the same sex im asking you whether you approve of that so i approve of and i sodomy laws in the United States joe nigeria deal with its own issues i think you may be exaggerating her views on some of those things but lets assume that theyre correct again im. Certainly a deer is a different circumstance a different situation different point in its history that we are today so. I will i will say that the research has been a friend of the of the movement. And. Ill just leave it at that and you think it would be fair for somebody to spend 10 years in jail because they love someone of the same sex i think it would be fair that society and law reinforces a projects that defends the natural family and that it reinforces a protection defense children and protects them from sexual behaviors but youre not healthy for the children youre not on seeing the question doug garson you like to play something you like to play semantic games up to 10 years in jail because you love someone of the same sex whose business is that some you know business somebody is business who people love is it is an American City right here youre right its not my best. But youve spent many many years trying to get people to Police Sexuality personal sexuality. To protect children yes. Thats because nowhere are they casualties your organization has produced more power than in russia your major partner in china to crack down on the Gay Community where youve been incredibly i would say even brutally successful 5 years after russia passed its law against gay propaganda a law that you personally in the w. C. S. Delighted in helping to construct hate crimes against lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people were reported to have doubled do you consider that a good achievement. Im think youre drawing some conclusions or that may or may not be correct the 2 may not be related. To the law in russia which again i think was related and focused on russian situations and russian issues and russian historical developments were focused on the protection of children not authorize sure encourage in a directory of an indirect way. 8 actions or to describe it it said no you cannot assist propagandize on sexual radicalism torched thats a chair but whether you intended it or not in the 6 years after this law was passed police in the semi autonomous region of chechnya felt chechnya felt empowered to launch a massive wave of unlawful detentions beatings and ritual humiliations of men presumed to be gay police kicked them with booted feet beat them with sticks and pipes and tortured several with electric shocks. Why dont you stand up for their rights do you think thats a good thing for police to do with gays. A no i dont and i dont think the right my russian friends would say that was the way the law was intended to be implemented as i dont think it was why dont they say that in public and why dont you say that in public they have to sit in public i just yeah but why didnt you say it before i actually have when ive been asked the question i mean a few years ago the british actor in the callan visited moscow he required a bodyguard as he pointed out for one reason only hes gay and thats the kind of russia you praise isnt it the one that presents such a threat to the l g b t community. I present russia then ask how much. A russia terrible period on us communism a terrible century of the 20th century of massive period of death and slaughter if you logical conflict. Followed by a period when they tried western liberalism not the good kind of western liberalism or the bad track and that left everything run loose and free and they found that their families just a must in collapse and so theyve been trying to put things back together again. And i think theres are a pretty good job. In the last 1520 years. Not perfect. Certainly has not written the laws of they have but most of them look. Big improvement for russia they have done a better job in terms of protecting family i think children from crete from mercian and the sexual bit sexuality thats not healthy for the children as a. Pretty good shot and the fact that the kremlin uses laws to silence l g b t activists suppress peaceful protests and sense a online expression is not your concern. Well you say those things im tired not sure what specifics youre talking about it is my concern to that they try to do this as as as and as reasonable and honorable way as they chant sometimes that doesnt happen i grant that but i cant sit here and. Condemn her criticize specifics which i have not had a chance to look at it well has a specific in in 2014 just off the russia had ceased crimea in an operation almost universally condemned you know managing director at the time larry jacobs declared i think russia is the hope for the world right now to be clear about the context russia had just bought through an International Border and that the staggering state aggression and the w c f was similar tenuously telling the world what a great country russia was you happy that you become a fully fledged p. R. Agency for the kremlin. I was very unhappy for personal w. C. S. Reasons about the wii u. Earlier in incursion the invasion was actually a sion of of the crimea why we had planned a World Congress a family session in moscow for over 2014 where we were going to be the primary sponsor and that was on its way to happening the invasion of the crimea took place sanctions were imposed by the United States and by the European Union and those sanctions some of them were targeted at people who were involved in the russian meeting we had to cancel our theres a patient you went along anyway you went to you you know people went along anyway and you name the Congress Something different. I wasnt there and you know people did you had people who will buy you some some of my allies there none of them were actual employees of my organization some were contractors who work some of the in some cases on set or would be an example that was always a contractor not a white none of our employees well why did you not stand up and condemn the repression that followed russias seas of crimea. You set yourself up as as a more hands and i say as if one has to choose ones issue is im a historian im a story in a modern europe and i understand the complicated history behind. The relationship trade crimea Ukraine Russia belarus and the old soviet empire. Now i wish they had not done so and zacharias asked i did but i abide by my issues ive tried to stay focused on the family issues. And like to say my own. Potential to take part of that Moscow Congress which i didnt want to do very much was spoilt by the invasion of the crimea and so i regret it for a very personal reasons you dont seem to regret what your own government has been talking about which is that the russian authorities in occupied crimea were continuing and are continuing to persecute and intimidate minority religious congregations you of course said nothing about that either you seem to manage a kind of tunnel visioned up to carlson in which you dont look at the Bigger Picture youre simply interested in your own rights and you dont care whether people repress others or create unfair conditions for them you simply focused on your own issue. You preach a kind of morality to the rest of the world but whats whats moral about the russians persecuting and intimidating minority religious congregations and you staying silent about that whats moral about that. First of all i say i would agree with you i do have a kind of a tunnel vision in terms of the public at the extent of the work ive done i dont reject them because one star ones once one starts wandering into other questions related questions then there are others or not theres another is pretty soon youre lose your focus and no ones going to Pay Attention to you so yes i do have a kind of a tunnel vision on the. Other side a blind eye to repression on a grand scale just to advance your own rather not a definition of what you think a family should be you have no redlines nobodys to shady to immoral to cook it for you as long as theyre on your side when it comes to the family your happy to deal with the iraq well i wouldnt say that theres certainly there are lies or some people i dont deal with and you mentioned scott lightly i made it very clear i did want to ask got lightly involved in our work going forward. So i know there are lines and. There with assets in politics your alliances are with sometimes with people whose maybe youre whose motives are not pure thats all objects you know when you collect a vote for some from someone for political for other oluseyi like cancer there and be fully analyzed what lays behind that what if you cared about humanity you would you would on the lies that if you cared about religious freedom you would care about what the russians have been doing to persecute religious minorities in crimea but youve never spoken publicly about that. Well thats your best true but i lets lets lets go with what you just set what we have been doing and i think one of the things our involvement in russia has done has been to change the trajectory of the Russian Orthodox church which. Prior to about 20 years ago was very inward looking. Just focused on its own agenda its own the ology its own relationships i think we have helped to bring the Russian Orthodox church into a new kind of i think human isnt it human ism. Of. Involving working together for the 1st time. With Roman Catholics with protestants with it even mormons Latter Day Saints Church on a profamily prolife agenda and i think its its been a dramatic change in the look of the Orthodox Church while they still jealously protect their own privileges and interests in russia i am standing up i think thats loosening up i hope maybe weve had some effect and help in doing but then again you know not interested in any of that. Im interested in all of it but i also understand the limits of my own involvement in these things how much money are the russians given your group not a single dime no not in terms of sponsorship not in terms of funding you know some of your congresses never received any money that knives in congress and moscow is funded completely by russian sources but in terms of money passing through our books share. We we have not received anything now. One point i would have happily accepted so that we said we did seek it i would grant that but its really since 24. 00 change 2015. Theres not even effort to seek funding from the russians chuck asterisk in terms of money coming into this organization. From russia. Weve never accepted any money and theyre really given any money is another way to put it. Lets talk up to carlson about donald trump youll get your vote in november willie. Probably a serial liar who paid off a porn actress to keep quiet becomes the standard bearer for the christian right in america i dont get it is this the best you can do sadly it may be the best you can do right now given the way the american political system works donald trump is a flawed human being like all of us but his flaws are a little more flagrant some will last and he has done a superb job somewhat amazingly to promote the prolife agenda that got him portion that. Far more consistently than any other. President before him and for that youre prepared to prepared to look away i mean this is a man so crooked where his handpicked senior assistants that 6 of them Face Criminal Charges the president has authored more than 20000 false or misleading statements since he went to the white house according to the Washington Post a Bipartisan Senate report last week on his Campaign Connections with russia actually described the president and associates of his campaign as often incapable of candor and both republicans and democrats signed off on that what more does trump have to do to lose the support of groups like yours. Well famous stop if you stopped. Doing. It lamenting policies regulations or posing laws involved in Foreign Policy such as the United Nations stocks or supporting family and life if we lose our support. Our american system is a very strong one i in some ways wish we had a european multiparty system and lot is here right now the trouble is the is the only game in town and hes a fool again else lot of character but on these issues hes done remarkably well and is. Better than i anticipated 4 years ago thats causing a final thought your morality seems very much like a moveable feast on the one hand you condemn l g b t activities because you say that tomorrow but youre prepared to really look away from some of the egregious faults of donald trump and his team in the white house doesnt add up does it your very selective about morality and you. Im selective on what i do focus on i will grant that yes theres a tunnel vision im focused on the protection and promotion of the natural family the family farm by a man and a woman marriage their relationship to 2 of the relatives of the past its the future why because thats where children come from in unstable homes so structure all the research and all of Human History best advice thats the best place to raise children what the west in particular faces a childless true church is the sexual genders going forward. Not all trump is a flawed human being is a flawed liberal leader but hes the only option there is right now and hes done a better job than anticipated for years i dont consider that selected morality i think im fairly shallow pissed. But. Its an imperfect world and you have to make hard choices in an imperfect world and youre not making it any more perfect by making those choices i. Think i think i have and i hope i am contributing to a better world collison thanks very much for being on conference im. However there is so.
