And whoring melanie lets begin with those incredible scenes of the Opposition Press conference what does this incident tell us about the ties between the police and the ruling party in zimbabwe. A really clever move on moment god was beehive saying that he will invite to some extent to me said to be part of the future of the country but of course its really break what does the future mean is does that mean hes going to be part of the politics on not we dont know but we know that mom and dad was still has to smooth out relations internationally and nationally so it was probably clever of him to Say Something along those lines to try and unite the country as well as the politicians at work behind the scenes what is the situation in harare right now following these days of unrest. Recently i seem to have lost you sara in just one of you can tell us what the situation is in harare following these days of unrest and uncertainty after zimbabwes election while the situation still remains tense as ive said before people on the streets still scared and they are scared of the future as well especially of the youth when it comes to the Economic Situation when it comes to what their future will look like if they have any prospects in this country in a state where maybe their voice doesnt count as much as they believed would so well really have to see what happens in the next week what the opposition does what mom and dad what does but it remains very very tense here in harare very tense in harare thats our reporter Melanie Corrida Botha its very much. Well they have been subjected to an imaginable cruelty some Seven Thousand is the women and young girls in Northern Iraq were abducted tortured and sexually abused by the socalled Islamic State this after the militant overran iraqs northern district just across the border from syria four years ago now i ask has been driven out but some Three Thousand years the women are still missing many of them were sold into slavery a reporter brigade to show that to people who are trying to find them. It breaks my heart she says. Shareen sheeran is showing us her hometown since the ruined city of the yazidi says shes just come back from syria where many young is still being held as slaves who stop at her old school. On a big time to one mother my best friend and i held hands around here. I just took her and made her a slave. She killed herself while she was there prisoner. And i have other friends who are still in their hands. So its difficult to cope. Shes only twenty two but she has dedicated herself to finding the kidnapped women and children who she thinks are still in syria its detailed detective work. Shes helped by mahmoud a friend and former smuggler. Oh sure but then you know sometimes my contacts in syria hear about people whove been kidnapped from people whove just been freed they might send me a photo of a kidnapped boy and ask if i know him can i ask around whether anyone is missing a boy if so we go rescue him not. Ask me. Sometimes the islamists allow their prisoners to cool their families and sometimes the families are asking for help she calls the kidnappers and fishes for information trying to find out where they are. I get them to trust me then i ask them things like whats happening where they are how many airstrikes have already hit what. Mahmoud and i are in touch with the Iraqi Security forces and forces in syria to tell us about is strikes. We compare information to localise the people were looking for other jobs and. They work with smugglers in syria to bring the former prisoners across the border they say they freed more than sixty people so far they mostly only works though when the families pay a ransom to the islamists or at least to middlemen who try to use. The families have to borrow the money. If they cant get enough to help them. Buy have friends in europe and america and they give us the money to buy the woman free. Sharon russia early was held prisoner for four years her family paid for her release. That on yes i saw her they killed my mother. It was awful. They tortured us and forced us to pray. They beat us and they put a price on us. Since all of us from one man to the next. She says she was on the brink of killing herself but then she came across a mobile phone she secretly sent her Family Photos and a video three months later she found and shingle found her. Her family paid Thirteen Thousand u. S. Dollars to get her back. One thing i want i want you to feel all the prisoners from them they sell them to each other like sheep its terrible. And they help themselves to ten year old girls and after the mass. She van also tries to help the women of two words in the absence of psychological support she has organized a number of selfhelp groups today shes talking with women about suicide what are the signs that someone is in danger of hurting herself how can others help you have to support each other she tells them. As i dont know i know we have all faced death and that life now is hard but weve survived we cannot give up and let them when. The sun is setting as we leave but she wants to go to mt singe or the years edis Holy Mountain to honor her friends who are buried here killed while fighting i. R. S. For she found its a place where she connects with them where she gathers strength for what lies ahead. With me in the studio is the reporter of that piece for the to show for good thanks for being with us heartbreaking stories really sometimes hard to watch and try to imagine what these women have been through Eugenics Reporting in the region how do you as a Reporter Balance the need to tell these stories with the risk of reach traumatizing women who have already experienced so much. It is often a little bit like walking a tightrope. You need a lot of time you have to sit down with who is a woman and you have to trust a little bit your gut feeling how far you can go i mean these women have gone through hell and back if we are talking about enslavement its rape its torture its family split up so there are certainly traumatized and we tried to ask them questions without trying to prevent too to trigger the trauma so we sort of Ask Questions we didnt present them to to answer and sing and these questions gave them room to decide by themselves what they wanted to to to share with us which stories they wanted and with which they didnt want to share with us you showed in the piece the women trying to help each other with Support Groups is there any professional help available for these women there is some International Programs help for a traumatized woman. Where the the huge the Refugee Camps are Bedsit Interest must much more remote its four to five hours by car to the Syrian Border so theres barely any help i mean theres no International Relief organizations there theres no help with reconstruction and especially not psychological help so its very hard for the women to get any help and that seems shocking to me to hear you say there is no International Help there for them because this is been happening its been for years now why isnt there more being done it is a disputed area it has been disputed between the Central Government in baghdad and the autonomous kurdish government there are a lot of militias there so there was longer fighting so the International Organizations more focused on the. Refugee camps in the hook and. I mean there were not such a lot of people who have come back there and some people never left the region some are still living on this monsoons or on this plateau its about ten thousand people who are living there and theyre there but they dont get barely any help no no nothing what do these women that you were speaking to do they see a future for themselves in iraq after theyve been rescued whats left for them weve talked to too many women and most of them most of the families who are turkish who said we want to leave because they dont feel secure that theyre still not they dont get any help and would was striking was that it was not only they said we dont we want to leave soon or no they want to leave iraq as a whole because. One mother of nine children who was two years in captivity she says she that said my life is over i dont care about my life but i want a Better Future for my children and their war get it here in iraq are breaking to hear our regular shocker thanks for bringing us these stories are important. India is being rocked by a wave of Mob Lynchings across the country in recent months more than twenty people have died after viral rumors about Child Kidnappers circulated the of the messaging service whats app the Indian Government has set up a committee to try and curb these sorts of incidents in some areas local Law Enforcement officials have started their own campaigns are india correspondent sonia fellow car travel to the Western State of maharashtra to find out more. It isnt every day that this village sees gifts like these. On a special mission. Dispelling vital rumors spread of water that it kills people across the country not the mark of a hunter whos also trained lawyer is the brains behind the campaign he appeals to the crowd to not be fooled by fake news of the internet and use their own mind to judge whats true or false. Misleading videos like this one which claim to show corpses of children have gone vital voices peeves disguised as beggars harvested the organs all the harsh explains how the videos are doctored to create panic. Another clip suggests this woman is an outsider and was trying to abduct children thats why she was beaten up fake news like this is spreading like wildfire in india it is a major problem because these are very close knit communities where almost everyone tends to know each other the spread and acceleration of this news can be very very quick but the fact that it is about child lifting is something for primal something so provocative that your child could be taken away from you i scarcely think there is a greater fear than that for any family or any parent. That it can precipitate violence very easily. Thats what happened here in the neighboring district of totally about Three Hundred Fifty kilometers from mumbai this heavy security in this remote village it only has women and children many of the men have fled ever since a lynching took place in this building. Fake news is killing people in india right here in this Village Council office five people were beaten to death by a mob last month the police say the people were driven by videos on whatsapp claiming that kidnappers are on the loose the victims were beggars from the magic tripe. The lynchings here were particularly brutal the police of the wristed twenty eight people so far. Cry to help the victims by locking them in here but the mob force they were lucky with their car care about the record of sharpton and thought about of course the people would stick with the drugs with stones even witches in the office the crowd was bloodthirsty ive never seen anything like this there was a video on someones own warning people to stay vigilant because gangs were kidnapping children and stealing their organs. In Monaco Police have tricking jail time if anyone forwards explosive messages that can cause public panic. Its part of the campaign to quash rumors before they boil over and lead to. The Measure Stick on an added urgency in monacos melting pot into religious tensions are never far from the surface here. Today offices are in the hindu temple its part of the campaigns are preached and trenchant religious leaders the message is familial remain skeptical of what you read online and dont preside divides. The Campaign Continues a Traffic Junctions across the city leaflets with Police Helpline numbers are handed out. To raise awareness about the deadly consequences of fake news. Or if youre watching us from europe you already know its a little bit hot lately and i call it as bracing for another weekend of scorching temperatures but his way of showing no sign of letting up is Southern Europe where the mercury looks set despite the highest meteorologists there warning new records can be set a lot of china. This is heat you just cant beat but that doesnt stop people from trying. Its relentless. In portugal the mercury was well north of forty degrees across the country and its set to get worse on saturday the countrys c. And Atmosphere Institute has warned that red alert temperatures are not going to end anytime soon i mean we. Always have probably the red alerts will be extended until next week in some inland regions but gradually the red alerts will end with. Sweltering temperatures in neighboring spain as well at the height of the tourist season visitors to the royal palace in madrid didnt have fountains to cool themselves often so they made do with what they had. Which is that what its very hot ive been in valencia in barcelona and although it was hot there i think madrid is the hottest from four in the afternoon on woods you need to be in the shade because its impossible to handle the sun and you have to drink lots of water. Some people cant get out of the sun and actually have to work in this heat. While the lucky ones have flocked to the coast where temperatures are lower and the ocean provides much needed relief.
