Only a promise to a son a son only the jungle and return to the concrete and glass jungle. The result reverse culture shock. Ready for that you realize how strange artificial. Is a connected to life. The prize winning documentary from the forest starts aug ninth on d w. Today the u. S. President praised his own decision to reimpose same sions against iran a tweet that came with a warning undeniably aimed at europe Anyone Doing Business with iran will not be doing business with the United States tonight trump against the world yet again all hes asking for this time he says is world peace im bored golf in berlin this is
the day. I think of him with the trump and his government are the ones who have rejected negotiations and have turned their back on diplomacy. Whats the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time but claudie can do what trump is doing is against the iranian nation and against the National Interests of iran. Bent over the. Border while missing if there is honesty in the process so i could in this one. So coming up tonight he was seven years old when his mother and her partner pimped him out to pedophiles online today a german Court Sentenced both Child Abusers to prison. Staffan in southwestern germany was where the man and woman offered customers on the darknet
the chance to rape her son at least six men traveled from germany switzerland and spain to take advantage of that offer. We begin the day with a threat from donald trump to the rest of the world a threat with echoes from a different time and a different president namely george w. Bush now you may recall it was shortly after the nine eleven attacks in the u. S. When then that u. S. President bush watched his War On Terror with an ultimatum to the world either youre with us or your with the terrorists will fast forward to twenty eighteen u. S. President donald trump today posted a tweet hailing his campaign of economic sanctions against iran and it included an ultimatum of sorts reading Anyone Doing Business with iran will not be doing business with the United States a message clearly written with europe in mind either youre with us on this or
youre with the iranians or this is not a trompe an axis of evil in the making nor is it a coalition of the willing in fact while u. S. Sanctions and economic pressure may force many businesses to exit iran most countries do not approve trumps withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal and these new sanctions do not enjoy any degree of International Support and Tonight Tehran and washington when it comes to sanctions and negotiations are about as far apart as it gets. The first step would be for u. S. President donald trump to show that he genuinely wants to engage in negotiations to solve a problem. Most look at the meaning of negotiations when you impose sanctions at the same time. Its like pulling a knife to stab a rival or an anime in the arm at the same time claiming we should be talking and negotiating will as we read it they could take out the president s offer to
more sanctions coming in the at the same time he tweeted about wanting world peace do you know what the u. S. President s in game with iran is. I dont think its clear to anyone with the actual endgame is and i think thats also a very deliberate strategy by the Trumpet Ministration they relish in confusing the outside world thinking that they actually give the United States an edge when in reality i think is happening is that more and more countries are starting to see the unreliability of the United States as a threat to world peace in and of itself but i think one thing can be said about whatever goal the administration has about this which is that this type of escalation can very easily get out of hand and mindful of the fact that we have very few deescalating mechanisms left very few exit ramps from this that in itself can lead to a Military Confrontation even if that isnt the intent of the Trumpet Ministrationabout the iraq war he is now actually surrounding himself with the very same people who pushed the United States in that war of choice i want to ask you before we run out of time what are you hearing from the u. S. Iranian community about what is happening inside iran i mean has trump succeeded in revealing more social fissures with his offer to meet with rouhani. I dont think the offer of talking with rouhani has created that much of official what i think has happened is that because of the incompetence because of the corruption of the iranian government and its mismanagement of the economy they have made the iranian economy very vulnerable and then trump has come in with massive sanctions and deliberate effort to foment unrest in iran and thats a certain extent has been successful so as a result of this i think were seeing these protests taking place right now at the height of all of these sanctions and the United States is a very important factor in as to why these protests are taking place right now not
the only factor but an important one. Trita parsi founder of the National IranianAmerican Council sharing his insights tonight from washington today we appreciate your time thank you thank you so much for having me. Well so far this is all about business for the Trump White House either you do business with iran or with the u. S. Now that puts the European Union in the position that it has rarely been in standing by iran and resisting pressure to act by the u. S. The European Union is offering to compensate legitimate european businesses in iran if they suffer from the new u. S. Sanctions but that may not be enough to stop an exodus that has already begun. Made in europe iran has signed contracts the billions of Dollars Worth of aircraft from air bus now the u. S. Sanctions mean most of those contracts unlikely to be ripped up its
a grim prospect for europes biggest builder and dima is putting the Emergency Brakes on too is announced in a Press Release that it had suspended activities in iran until further notice the e. U. Has reiterated its rejection of u. S. Sanctions and is encouraging european businesses to carry on dealing with iran to protect european businesses from the effects of secondary sanctions of sanctions that the u. S. Imposes outside of the study we believe that it is and it has to be up to the europeans in this case to the side with home to trade with. Brussels has little leverage against washington but the e. U. Wants to help european entrepreneurs in iran. We can hope that The Americans Wont Apply Sanctions to European Companies or disadvantage them in any way but if they do be force to protect our economy with the credit guarantees investment guarantees even gotten t. And germany in particular had long hoped the Good Business with iran but in recent months german exports to tehran have already fallen by four percent. Business think joins me now to flesh out what these u. S. Sanctions on iran mean for european businesses been we just heard or the number there that german exports to iran have dropped four percent and that could just be the tip of the iceberg exactly. We know that this strategy is not about blocking u. S. Firms doing business in iran there are very few of those this is about blocking european and Asian Companies as well you know germany france and britain old like that Nuclear Deal China did to the u. S. Natural National Security advisor john bolton has said that governments are holding on to that deal but its the companies that are running and theyre running already the exodus has begun weve got to todd the French Oil Major p. S. A. Renault the comic is from france the german car and Truck Manufacturer dime already
saying that its putting Expansion Plans on hold and then lots of small and medium interest prizes that have set up shop there and it takes two years or more for your investments to start to flourish and they dont think their returns and theyre having to pull out and we know that the European Union is offering compensation to legitimate businesses which suffer losses in iran due to the u. S. Sanctions you know our correspondent in brussels Last Night Terry Shoals she told us that what is promised may very well not be close to what is delivered to me does the European Union doesnt have the economic power to withstand these u. S. Sanctions i mean we dont have. A United States of europe do week we heard from your guest earlier that we do have political unity as far as opinions go on how this should be dealt with but the economic front is very different and. These European Companies just cant risk their u. S. Business thats what it comes down to i mean the Iranian Market is huge weve got
eighty Million People its as big as germany the country geographically is because europe but europes promises so small actually i spoke earlier today to our financial correspondent frankfurt correct and he had a good explanation of the Little Things the e. U. Can do well of course european governments can make sure that Financial Transactions with iran remain possible at least state to bangs could be forced to continuously provide those Financial Services also governments could protect exports and investments in iran something that the German Government for example has promised to continue to do what the European Union of course cannot do is prevent the American Government from imposing fines against companies that do not follow the sanctions and even though the European Unions Blocking Regulation is talking about the possibility of compensation for damages that European Companiesnet in exchange for money the Court Sentence both the mother and her partner to twelve years in prison. This woman and her partner made her son suffer unbelievable atrocities rape severe sexual abuse forced prostitution all at the age of seven for that theyll spend hears behind bars. Shell be given a little more prison time than he will but this is simply due to the fact that he provided us with comprehensive information to the court to account of that and the severity of the mothers actions of course. Because of. Stealth and in southwestern germany was where the man and woman offered customers on the darknet the chance to rape her son at least six men travelled from germany switzerland and spain to take advantage of that offer. The boys lawyer the boy
is now ten and she says hes doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances he lives with the foster family. As you know the story tragic on so many sides im joined tonight by the psychologist and director of the berlin these Child Protection innocents in danger its good to have you with us julia fun while or i want to ask you julie we were talking earlier about you know what happens to children who are in these situations this young boy we have a stand hes now about ten years old and will he ever recover from this kid can we talk about him one day having a normal life sure he can fight his life will never be as it could have been ever that didnt happen. Child sexual abuse changes the future of a child but they call themselves survivors because they are strong and they did survive he did survive the worst of it already the torture the selling the
prostitution the fact that his mother does not protect him that his father is also one of the rapists or sadly yes she was a perpetrator and she was a sadistic perpetrator. So actually today she did him a favor in a way because she accepted the sentence right away in court so and she said i want to give him a sign and one of the signs that children need is that the offender takes responsibility which they rarely to usually they sort of cry about themselves it is the ten year old is he looking for a song from his mother despite the fact that she is also a perpetrator sure he is he still has his mom he probably still misses her she. Children told me you know everything would be fine if you or she would stop doing that you know i love my dad are enough my mom i you know i dont want to be separated from them so we need to be aware that he. Of course hes right yeah and
what did people not recognize the signs of what happened we know i think that its we dont want to know we as a teacher as a neighbor as whoever i dont want to be aware of the fact that Child Sexual Abuse happens right in my neighborhood you know not of my watch out of my street not in my building not in my school its always somewhere else but its not its right next to us so we need to be aware that it does happen amongst us that we know victims and and that thats what makes it so difficult we know offenders if we know with tims we know offenders when you say we know with vendors there are countries societies around the world where sexual offenders are put a list and its made public. That is not necessarily the case here in germany do you think though that the innocent are as protected as they should be in this country no theyre not but theyre also not protected as they should be in those
countries where the fenders are put online because we need to be aware that those cases were only talking about sentenced offenders and we know that only a fraction a tiny fraction of offenders is ever put to trial so that you know you have all these other still around and so if everybody focuses on the one who is put online you know i as a as an offender have havent really easy to act with children what about the darknet and Child Pornography we understand there were videos made of this boy being raped there out there somewhere we assume and none of this or this would not have been possible in its severity had there been the dark net right the internet thats the media and the internet to really change the dynamics of Child Sexual Abuse we have Child Sexual Abuse images being traded now we have Something Like lifestream Child Sexual Abuse. Where i sit in front of in front of
a computer and you know directs whats going on somewhere else in the in the world and we need to be aware that the spreading of these images really really affects survivors and we were a part of an International Study conducted with survivors of these crimes and these survivors tell us you need to be aware that these images out there hurt us in a very bad way you need to be aware that we need your help and that Society Needs to change. Change laws also you will he needs to shut down these streams and these sources of pornography who do you who do you think is responsible for taking these images dale. I think that Law Enforcement is responsible i think that governments are responsible but its for illiterate and i know it is but yeah but then you know today we have to eat you know these industries can do so many things
and i know for example one of the giants google is doing great stuff when it comes to trying to detect Child Sexual Abuse images but i do believe google could do so much more and i do believe if governments put sort of Work Together and really confront the issue make a difference and one of the difference is that all governments could make would be to put Law Enforcement in the right spot to be able to do their work which means more manpower and better technologies. As i said earlier doing an angels work out there protecting children with the Child Protection in geo in this its in danger based here in berlin do you think you think. Johnnies sensors have banned the release of Christopher Robin a new film adaptation about Winnie The Pooh and.
