A 2nd straight day in germany belgium and the netherlands all swelled to a sweltering as well. And horizon far right violence in germany attacks on politicians and immigrants have spiked authorities and they need to act to stop the violence. Im dr thomas thanks so much for joining us. Well they say they were forced to flee their home country after suffering beatings by family members do until all are sisters from saudi arabia and theyre part of a growing number of saudi women trying to escape the ultraconservative kingdoms repressive male guardianship system our reporter yulia han met the 2 women in istanbul and heard how this system allows men to control virtually every aspect of a womans life from birth to death. All that. I have seen so far like this and changing hotel rooms that you are hiding from their families we cant say where they are because they are afraid of being found. 22 persisted 21 her father took them to istanbul for a holiday they decided to run away to escape years of filings and repression they say. If they are so. Pleased when they forced me to wear. When i was like. So i can say no of course if i say no they will beat me so hot they took the decision to escape us says when her father wanted to marry her off it was their last chance. My father told me i have friends of my. He have 2 wife and he want me to be the 3rd one. Asking about his age he told me that hes one of the 50 they dont care about. And when i told him as. He told me you cant say not. At all if. The marriage. To be kept man is the only person who always knows when. He stumbled the u. K. Lawyer 1st became aware of the case on twitter so hes now supporting the sisters in their effort to get asylum. With the girls its consistent. Consistent with regard. So. You get the impression that this is not to young teenagers running away from home. During this winter early i mean this is something that theyre being forced into. And is escape is not an isolated case again and again saudi women try to flee from their families when traveling abroad. Just earlier this year there have mohammad made headlines for days the 19 year old saudi woman barricaded herself in a hotel room in bangkok the United Nations finally recognized her status as a refugee and she was granted asylum in canada where she now lives. And hope for a similar outcome the sisters need asylum in a 3rd country as soon as possible says their lawyer we believe that not only the father but. This are authorities. By these girls that will. Inevitably follow. Their own quest for freedom. So for that reason we think that there is a very real risk of them being talked to. Are not facing deportation to saudi arabia at the moment turkish authorities have granted them temporary protection they are managing to make ends meet with donations stay receive but as long as there is no long Term Solution they feel very much under threat. Of course i always look at the window when they go. For a hair out or are they like try to hide and. Change our place every couple of days which. Im afraid someone know the place. Im a father searching for us i hate sleeping i only just me for 3 hours to it to al its enough for me because i always have nate like my father you know where i am if he catch me of course he will kill me. Do our entire lives we changed into cation again. Where they will wait and hope they can reach safety before their family finds them. A report was filed by our turkey correspondent delia hawn d. W. Has asked Saudi Arabian authorities for a response but has yet to receive one lets talk more about this now were joined by many middle east specialist at Zurich University thanks so much for coming in this morning the saudi government claims its making progress on womens rights but we continue to get stories on beatings forced marriages Death Threats as weve seen in this report can you describe for us the situation for women in saudi arabia right now. Well as long as the guardian male guardianship system says these stories will continue and we will continue hearing about young women independent who would leave the country just to be free so that male guardianship as a system treats women as perpetual minors. And that is compounded with norms and values and a religious interpretation that seems to construe their women not only as less than you but also as a burden ok youre talking about the role of yourself out here that. Is the male guardianship system in extent in expectable from the y. Brand of as long. Now when one has also to be i think its important to recognise the fact that the male guardianship is not only specific to saudi arabia you find the system as well in other countries and their Arabian Peninsula however the religious interpretation that you just mentioned have is and is their unique in its how should i say extreme. View is. Regarding a womens that here within society regarding the mans ability to control her and considering her as well almost as a source of evil that should be not only hidden but also controlled there too that. How concerned are saudi arabia sorties that do and a lot of these 2 sisters could become role models for other saudi women especially young women seeking freedom abroad. Well you have many i mean and then they seem to be like the last. Young woman joining a long line of women trying to escape saudi arabia so the authorities are certainly aware that there is a problem they are worried because it actually. Shed shadow. On the image of saudi arabia and at the same time while they all the time try to portray the progress in terms of the file of womens right these stories these young women who come forward seem to defy. Whatever is being articulated by the public machinery of saudi arabia your home the nia mideast specialist at Zurich University thanks very much for coming and for your opinion states will. Or millions of people here in europe are sweltering in the summers 2nd extreme heat wave an across the continent records are being toppled one after another the temperature in the french capital for example paris reaching 42. 6 degrees celsius now that shatters the old record by a fall to the greeks heres a round up of the impact the hot weather is happening. Temperatures are rising and transport systems across europe a feeling the heat. Are tracks there even hotter than the outside temperature when its like 40 degrees outside its the temperature on the rail. Mounts to 10 maybe 15 degrees hotter so we have measured it at 55. 00 degrees celsius so that makes it the hottest spot in belgium right now the record breaking temperatures can cause train tracks to expand putting them under strain or at risk of buckling. In the u. K. Trains were delayed or canceled all down to the heat. The flipside of the disruption the chance to enjoy yourself while trying to keep cool but concerns about whats causing the high temperatures it will set on peoples minds im enjoying it but yes i am worried about the impact so you know Climate Change and very concerned and trying to do my bit. Of course its Climate Change theres no doubt about that story that goes without saying the ice caps are melting Everybody Knows that schools are still. Officials say were seeing some of the hottest temperatures since records began. This is these are the highest recorded temperatures for belgium in history since the beginning of the measurements in 1833 years. As the weather sets new records across europe climate Scientists Say such heat waves are likely to become the new normal in the coming year is. A brief you know some of the other stories making news today the u. S. Refugee agency says some 150 margarets are missing from a boat that capsized in the mediterranean after leaving libya local fisherman coast guards as well rescuing about 140 People Living as a major departure point for migrants attempting to reach europe. 2 cambodian journalists have gone trial for spying in the cambodian capital phnom penh one chin and yong suffering while working for a Us Government funded Radio Station when they were arrested during a crackdown on political opponents in november 27th teen Rights Groups say the trial is an attack on press freedom. That rocketed the dragon spacecraft a space x. Rocket carrying scientific equipment as launch from a cave canaveral on route to the International Space station the dragon aircraft will deliver supplies to the i s s on saturday. Well following the killing of the german regional politician involved. And the arrest of a suspect with neo nazi ties germanys Domestic Intelligence agency says the threat of far right radical violence is on the rise and it says the danger it represents has become more complex Intelligence Services there are more right wing extremists in germany than ever before an estimated 24000 half of them are willing to commit violence it also says the number of crimes motivated by and he semitism has risen by nearly 4000 percent over the past year and media reports show that 169 people have been killed by far right violence since german reunification in 1990 well the killing of volga look at last month has put the existence of far right extremists networks in germany back in the spotlight Authorities Say the threat coming from these groups has been underestimated for years these politicians from across germany were invited to berlin by president funk. United by a particular concert theyve all experienced severe hostility some have even received Death Threats. Because im on a new me but i received anonymous letters saying i should die a miserable death sooner rather than later because after all no one would miss me there was a nail in one of my cars tires and i was driving down the autobahn it was clear the nail had been put there intentionally my car was also smeared with excrement. Politician vonta looked had also received explicit Death Threats before a right wing extremist allegedly shot him dead at close range in front of his home look i had become a hate figure on the far right because he stood up for refugees hatred of refugees and of those who support them the rallying cry at socalled white power music concerts like this one in the town of team. White power music is the gateway for many into the neo nazi scene the concerts also earn money to help pay the legal costs of neo nazis facing criminal charges. Experts are convinced that right Wing Networks are formed here. If any of the networks are dangerous because they attack injure and kill people as with wall to loop theyre also dangerous because they create a sense of being threatened in which people no longer feel safe doing their jobs or voicing their opinions. Lawyer mehmet dima gorilla represented victims in the trial of members of the right wing Terror Network the National Socialist underground or n. S. U. For years be outed sheep and 2 accomplices played active roles in that and su killing 10 people almost all of the migrants but to this day its not clear how big the n. S. U. Actually was although cheap it was convicted much of what went on in the shadows still hasnt come to light. The n. S. C. Was not and is not just a trio its part of a network most members of this network are at large and theyre a threat to many people the militant right wing extremist network combat 18 the number 18 stands for the 1st and 8th letters of the alphabet and the initials of hitler. Combat 18 has carried out attacks in greece and the u. K. Germanys interior minister says more needs to be done to tackle the problem and hes looking into banning the group. We believe there are as many as 12700 violent right wing extremists these figures are especially alarming considering the great affinity for weapons that the rightwing extremist scene has its on. The far right north clients our Northern Cross network compiled a list of political opponents and even planned to kill them while most of those targeted are unaware those politicians invited by president or at least had an inkling. For a long time many didnt talk about the hostility they faced and they often werent taken seriously when they did. Above all else we need an awareness throughout society the wiis are not just attacks on individuals but that the roots of democracy are under attack. And germanys head of state may be focused on the issue but his position is largely symbolic ultimately only the government can take action. And joining us now to take a closer look at the far right scene here in germany is our Political Correspondent kate brady they could morning to you taking up from where that report ends what is has the German Government been doing to combat far right violence. Well there have been implemented a number of measures at the top of that list is actually expanding the surveillance of far Extremist Groups both by the german Domestic Intelligence agency and by law inform in forstmann agencies and the head of germanys Domestic Intelligence agency has also said recently that he wants to give more resources and more people power especially to the department which is responsible for the research and surveillance of specifically far right Extremist Groups and of course also in recent years germany has become well known even infamous to some of the efforts its making to clamp down on online hate speech of course that has joined but with problems of its own sometimes completely legitimate political commentary has been scooped up into those filters but thats one measure and also even just this week the German Government was trying once again to have public funding cut from the n. P. T. Thats the neo nazi policy here in germany and for years now the government has been trying to get that party banned has failed to do so so far and of course that party is still a legitimate Political Party and is therefore entitled to receive public funding so thats something that the government is trying to work on at the moment to have those Financial Resources pulled from that neo nazi party. Ok what about German Civil Society and everyday people how have they been responding to these developments and exactly theres any safe while you can go with legislation as so because there are also several n. G. O. S and nonprofit organizations which have been tracking far right extremism and research in far right Extremist Groups for several years now and on occasion they do also work with the government and sometimes similar organizations hold for example counterdemonstrations counter rallies when they know the far right Extremist Group is going to be holding a demonstration often these turn out to be the bigger of the 2 groups as well and even on some occasions weve seen locals and German Society even applying a bit of humor to them methods just recently a local small town in eastern germany the locals there actually bought up all of the beer ahead of a far right extremist rock rally to make sure that these people didnt have any beer at their events of course we can see here that society is tackling this very serious issue both the serious response and also with some humorous tactics to thanks so much for looking into that for us this morning. Its to the russian capital moscow now where a proposed new highways stoking health fears because it would cross a Nuclear Waste dump Authorities Say theres no risk of contamination but locals have taken to the streets to protest they say the new road could create moscows own journal did abuse emily sure one reports it. Said. That it is. Dangerous levels of radiation thats what Nuclear Physicist under a radiation counter tells him every time here moscows pauli metals factory started dumping Nuclear Waste on this hill in the 1940 s. And fiftys when the area in the south of moscow wasnt yet part of the city so far the Radioactive Material is contained under a layer of clay but the activist insists that the plant highway could cut straight through the Nuclear Waste. They might start digging up the soil and moving it around without taking into account what is contaminated that they will be released into the atmosphere and anyone who agrees that some will get radioactive nuclei into their lungs and. He has been giving informal tours of the spot to journalists and locals just this sign warns of radioactive contamination and these are the sorts of signs you might expect to find near a Nuclear Power plant but theyre right here in the city of moscow. Local residents like are worried about what could end up in the river and in their long yes is i just dont know if you know that this Nuclear Waste is here but they arent going to touch it then its not to worrying but knowing that theyre going to build a right here and all this waste could slip down the hill thats really scary. Says locals have always known about the Nuclear Waste in their neighborhood the site is partially closed off but the riverside nearby is popular with the residents. Of view from above shows just how urban the area is the Nuclear Waste site is slotted between a park and moscows main river the mosque now the plan is to build a fly over parallel to the railway bridge here construction is slated to begin later this year the city says the new road will ease traffic in moscow and they insist that construction is safe. But the. Soil will not be disturbed. By support for the flyover will be built here its foundations will be up to 5 metres below the surface weve carried out studies of the saw it at that depth and there were no radiation measurements above the norm there in the road when i touch the ground here but it could put people in the area dont believe the author already this week they held a protest against the highway which people here see as the latest sign their government just doesnt care about the signs here read road of death and warn of a 2nd term noble catastrophe. So now my other son lives in the high Rise Apartments across from the Plant Construction she grew up here and has been fighting the highway since march. So i think. From my point of view theyre committing a crime against the residents who live here i dont know whose interests are driving them but they are in no way considering our interests. That were going through the frustration here is palpable but the other protesters want to keep fighting with petitions and protests. To make sure their homes and their city stay safe.
