the there's something like 10000 people here. no one is a freight we came here because we want to honor the memory of the person who is not scared of anything else. and we also have many of those here. it's just important to see people who agree that what happened is terrible and that there are a lot of people who think this will start. she's done the traditional public burial and the criminal and against what they called protests taking place outside the church. inside the church, alexys, family and friends pay the final respects the the full of the coffin was transported to a symmetry near the banks of the most clouded river

fact that several dozen people who are arrested according to terms of red row rice group, so really shows that this was not your regular funeral. of course they didn't belong to the show of solidarity without except his family. and of course they golf, but they go up. i mean, it's moscow, it's nobody's heartland, it's where people of all the most politicize and where there's a huge, well, at least a significant, let's say, a layer of opposition to both. and so, to me, that was no surprise in the turn out. and uh, frankly speaking, these people are great because anyone who went there could have risk the risk arrest or it completely dropped off on state charges. so yes, i mean, kudos to that. kudos to them all. that was data when you russia analysts, konstantin. i got moving on, the president and joe bivens as the u. s. will begin. air dropping supplies into gaza. the day after more than a 100 pallets, damian's were killed during an a delivery. the by mint. ministration is also

looking at other ways to bring in more assistance. don kirby, of the national security council, said israel supports the us air drop initiative and gave more details. united states will carry out air drops of 8 into guys in coordination with our international partners, particularly jordan. in the coming days. we're also going to redouble our efforts to open up a humanitarian maritime cord, or to over amounts of humanitarian assistance by c hopefully large amounts. but i see this is of course, in addition to expanding delivery by land, which we have been keenly focused on. now for, for many months we'll continue to push is where it is real, to facilitate more trucks going in and more routes being open so that more aid can get to more people. this john kirby speaking earlier. meanwhile, the united nations is calling for an international investigation into how more than a 100 pounds simians were killed as trucks, deliberate supplies in gaza. city families of the victims say,

is really troops open fire. these really army has admitted firing shots near the conroy, but says, stampede cost most of the death. the one has warrants that a corner of causes population is currently a risk of family friends and family morning, their dead. the injured survivors on the floor receiving treatment. these people say they were shot by as really troops as they went to meet in each shipment with the brand after they stopped shooting. we went back to get so 8. by the time i got flour and some kind of goods and took it down from the truck, they shelter to is they shot to me on the truck drive or left to run away from my leg. i lost my notes if he wants to give his agent this way, that he might just, well not bring us anything. israel has a different account. this is a video released by the military. it spokesperson says it shows mob's looting humanitarian aid from trucks. the truck so overwhelmed and the people driving

the trucks, which uh, garzon uh, city is gone and civilian drive is plowed into the crowds of people ultimately killing it. my understanding is tens of people. i don't have anything more specific to that. it is on folding. it does is health ministry, which is controlled by how mosque says dozens were killed at the drop site. this brings the ministry's death toll, which does not separate dod civilians from fighters to 30000. that unprecedented human cost hesper cause for resolution. the war in god must and clear violations of in the nation and rights and to many different roles, including war crimes and possibly other crimes on the international law has been committed by all parties, mediators say that moss and israel on the cost of a truce. but a group say that before that happens,

some northern causes may not survive the famine that result from a not getting through religious conservatives are expected to tighten their group on power in iran of service. and there has been little enthusiasm among motors in elections for a new parliament and a clerical body called the assembly of experts. and that's been reflected in low turn out the pulse or a test of public sentiment following a wave of anti going unrest. 2 years ago and protests for sparks by the death of a young woman in police custody. iran also is suffering an economic price. on the front, the land is yacht is a german of reading and political scientists who has the center for middle east and global order thing tank here in berlin and told us how riggins feel about these elections. and i think it is quite clear even so the resume itself that uh for

these elections uh, there is not much enthusiasm, quite on the country. we can expect the repetition of the last 2 major elections and around, over the last few years for the parliament and the presidency, which already saw a historic, low voter turnout. so this time around, we can also expect the same, even probably even lower. because the game regime legitimacy has been further further eroding also in the wake of the national uprisings that you mentioned earlier. so what we actually can expect, in fact, is that there was im gonna proclaim a fake voter turnout. that was political science as ali for, to manage out there. but as demand for cocaine grows to unprecedented levels in europe. so to does the danger to the communities where the drugs are sourced, organized crime games are finding over the billions of dollars in black market. and money to remain. germany is now one of the countries trying to rally international

authorities to coordinate efforts to interrupt international supply chains. general louisa has got these hands full. thousands of containers are loaded in the peruvian pulse of calais of every day. and cocaine could be hidden in any of them. demand in europe is increasing and such as drug smuggling, lasers, anti drug team is on daily patrol. instead about any potential suspicious containers, we'd be gain changing flooring forces. but most of those is we absolutely need an international exchange of information with only investigating authorities so that one can seize the drugs and the criminals behind them getting the knowledge due to rising demand. coca cultivation improve is doubled since 2015. the drug is almost exclusively exposed to europe in germany records $35.00 tons received last year alone. and that's why germany's federal minister of the interior, nancy phase, is traveling to south america, offering great to collaboration between nations,

egypt, because i've already seen the spiraling violence in belgium and the netherlands public. prosecutors and journalists have been shot dead and i would like to prevent that from happening in germany. i. he, non whitehall, 2000 drug related deaths and not just a few. and it's not just about people dying. it's been a huge impoverishment associated with violence and huge prophets given in peru, rain forests of being cleared for drug cultivation. coco farm is on just enough to survive. well, international smugglers make millions. the rule of law is being undermined by corruption and other ones that are going to have a shared responsibility. countries that can see must cooperate with countries that produce because this is where the damage is done, the environmental destruction and the mud is supporting the customer. negotiations for security agreements also begin soon more education and training a planned and a great to exchange of information. the importance of information sharing was

demonstrated to the anti drug police at the end of january. a tip also enables the team to seize over 7 tons of cocaine in the ports of calais. of the cocaine is imbedded in wooden panels. the smugglers getting more more creative and it's becoming harder to find a limited but i mean, oh is it was, it's a great satisfaction, not just for me, but for everyone who has worked with us. we're always off to the drugs with the aim of finding the people behind them, and that's why corporation is so important. and any help is welcome, because the drug business is poisoning society and the people who use them are like in america, corresponding to call res is in columbia, as capital bogo tower than german interior minister has been talking to officials. nicole told us about colombia struggle with drug cultivation and smuggling. it seems to be something that is difficult to get rid of just because there is so much money involved. this is a $1000000000.00 business. the huge challenge, according to the police official that i talk to today from columbus,

national police is that the people involved the international and national play as a more and more becoming sort of invisible el, smarter in the race. and this is why there needs to be more international collaboration because india and this is not only an issue for columbia or germany, this is an issue for many countries here in latin america pettigrew. brazil ecuador very prominently has been in the news just a few weeks ago because of its security issues due to this drug violence as well. and to year from the ports from latin america. the proud to use is arriving at the shores of europe and day. we're talking about hundreds of tons of cocaine every year, and that's the only the part that will forward. these are actually detecting their only detecting a fraction. so there must be much more arriving. this is for an international collaboration is highly needed because as we just heard in this report, there's this not only about a drug that is going through europe is also about people's lives that are in danger

. of people who are being killed or the environment being is destroyed and the poverty that goes hand in hand with this uh, with this business, at least for locals that are in the affected area square. cocaine is being produced was call razor reading from columbia as highly of 3 wedding party thrown by asia's richest man is proving to be quite a celebrity. magnet tech type. mark zuckerberg and his wife priscilla chan are rubbing shoulders with sport stars. in bollywood royalty and millionaire industrialist will cash, and bonnie's 3 day clean up party for his son and his wife to be that $1200.00 strong guest list, including bill gates, vancho trump, and the king and queen of boots on will be entertained by none other than pop star, riana, the wedding itself will take place later in the year. you know,
