the, the, the deed of the news live from ballad, fresh hopeful, getting food and medicine into the guys of the 1st ship carrying humanitarian supplies from cyprus, could leave as early as this weekend. the us court finds, the former president of frontier is guilty of drug trafficking. now one, orlando hernandez is facing 40 years in prison. the

antonio allowed equal welcome to the program and international operation to bring desperately needed aid into guys by sea is gay, is gathering momentum, a ship carrying humanitarian supplies from an american. try to use, preparing to leave la monica in cyprus. the us and european union will work with the united arab emirates and all the countries to ship food that's in an emergency . shelter is the need for aid in gaza is huge. an overnight is rarely striking, rasa turned a tower block that once house $300.00 families into rubble, already fighting hunger. these palestinians now must live without shelter. out of what we were surprised if nice with knocking on the apartment doors telling us to evacuate the tower. our children fell on the stairs and women fell a friend of mine's wife, who was 9 months pregnant fell on the stairs. there was

a stage of a panic and fear you have no idea on the european union is coordinating the shipments of food medicine and other supplies. the u. together with the us, united arab emirates and other countries are launching a maritime court or for ship security, food and medicine to gaza. the vessels being loaded in cyprus are nearly ready to go. what a high, much effect orders getting there aren't any factors involved and emissions like this one kind of give you suggestions. it's quite a challenge. i see us getting up so i can't predict a time table for many reasons. because of time and security. as you mean in fact, but as soon as everything is ready and we leave from here until about a month, i mean one of the humanitarian agencies behind the shipment from cyprus is constructing its own dock to offload the aid. separately the us military is planning to build, appear that construction can take as long as 2 months. right now aide is being dropped into gaza from the air planes from jordan egypt. the us,

france and belgium are taking part in the operation. so made is trickled in by truck over causes border to egypt. but it's not enough to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of palestinians with united nations warning. the gaza is on the brink of famine by moss enough kings colors london told me what needs to be done before the aid arrives in gaza. to say this, the 1st thing i need sorting out is the permissions and paperwork of stone not being completed in cyprus. i'm part of that is these writing signing off the shipments um the actual journey from cyprus to dallas is about 200 nautical miles. so the shape of that type could do that in a day or less if it wanted to. and this is where it then starts to get very difficult. and according to the charities involved, they are planning on building or indeed already building a pay a out to receive the supplies for the ship is very shallow. water is

a beach. so you can't just drive the ship up to the coast. and assuming that able to do that, not to an undisclosed location for security reasons, then that's the biggest problem level, which is distribution online. how do you make sure that the aid is not moped and stolen? you know, millions of thousands of desperate people. how do they distribute it in a 5 way and whose responsibility is, is that it's so you basically got 2 options at the points at which the supplies hit the show. then the, the general idea would be the one of these items, things would control, you know, warehouse and control the central stuff, kids of those supplies. but then to get them out to distribution centers located around the goal is a strip that's a big problem because at the start of the conflicts,

palestinian police was still on the gc that they would carry weapons. and so they were targeted by these ladies because they would carry, you know, they were young men carrying weapons. and so they effectively gone home. and that's one of the reasons why we've had the breakdown of law and order. so some sort of deal to naples. nice place to go back to what perhaps on, on this side of it, they can ensure that those supplies are able to get out is probably needed in order to get it to the 102030 distribution points in different neighborhoods. around a garza, you mentioned the peer that's going to serve temporarily, but the us is also building its own dock. i could take up to 2 months to build what form is that likely to take and, and what difference would that one make or so the us ministry has got ready, made equipment is effectively a floating pontoon that, that gets on could to the sea bed and then you build the floating causeway linking

up that, that pontoon to the see show and that equipment is, is, is in storage and ready to go. which is why i'm quite surprised that this thing is going to take 60 days to get to that the unit of the us minute tree that is responsible for using that equipment has been tossed already is guessing ready to go. i would think that the us is able to do it much quicker than that. i wonder whether actually they are on the promising say that they can over at the live. uh, i think they would be able to get it done much quicker than not because as i say, the equipment will be in storage and ready to go. okay, well leave it that for now, mike bothering from king's college london. thank you for your analysis. thank you very much. is a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. a several 1000 people have joined a march in london, demanding an immediate cease. 5 in gaza. is the 10th major pro palestinian riley

and the british capital this year. israel says its forces have killed dozens of how much fighters in gaza this weekend. security forces are searching large areas of forest in north west and nigeria, after gun man kidnapped over $280.00 children. the abduction happened at a school in the village of coding guy in the states of cardona kidnappings for around some come on in the region where hundreds of people have been taken in the past few years. caribbean nations have called an emergency meeting as a sink and, and the spiraling gang violence in haiti, the us, canada, and from so we'll also join the talks in jamaica. gun fi has dropped the haitian capital puzzle, friends following mass jail brakes organized by a criminal gangs. columbia and police have arrested the suspect to drug traffic

in the city of meeting in a joint operation with spanish authorities, the former associated with the late drugs byron. the public escobar is suspected of carrying cocaine to europe and crime groups in italy, and the netherlands. jerry in new york has found forma hunter and president one orlando hernandez, guilty of trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into the united states. prosecutors say you run hundreds like a naco state. he was long considered a top us ally in central america. now he faces a life in prison. quite orlando, hernandez has been found guilty of 3 counts of drop trafficking, and weapons conspiracy. i see that his lawyer says they will appeal to a decision there in montana because he says he is innocent. and he says he still has the strength to keep fighting. hernandez was president of hon. do arise for 2

consecutive terms between 20142022. during his leadership, the country received more than $50000000.00 in anti narcotics assistance from the us, as well as additional millions of dollars in security and ministry. 8, prosecutors later on cover that she was linked with drop traffic cars, including former i'm actually conduct lord fucking guzman known as l chapo. he was accused of helping small the around $500.00 tons of cocaine to the us. around this was arrested just weeks after completing his 2nd time as president, and he was extradited to the united states. 2 months later, in april 2022 after a 2 week trial jurors in manhattan and reached the verdict,

celebrated by hun door and citizens gathered outside the court house. locust that most of those of us who are here, who have emigrated to know that we are the consequence of a failed state. that has been controlled and managed by people who have used their country and its institutions for drug trafficking. the, i hope that the verdict and his arrest serves as a precedent to show that authorities can no longer harm our country. guessing game that they devote themselves to serving our people. not destroying our people will not have wherever. it's the 1st time in more than 3 decades that a formal foreign leader has been convicted of drug trafficking in the us. so i know 3 is a fellow at the institute for policy studies and director of its drug policy

project. and i assume whether this conviction is a victory for the us drug enforcement agency. well, victory is a, it's not so much of victory is, is the ongoing process of shoveling water basically that it really doesn't produce many slips, the substantial long term changes. because we have this long, long pattern in latin america, of presidents attorneys, general drugs, ours military officers being consistent in the growing economy. there's an old saying in this field, and i've been working in drug policy for 25 years. that drug prohibition is an equal opportunity. corrupter. it's just that some people are in a vastly superior position to, to profit from that corruption. and that of course are the senior officials because they have access not only to the police inside of it, but they can also tax and, and be full. which games get this model and, and, and, and what types of drugs and, and truck lines and that sort of thing. so it's

a fantastic be lucrative space. right. and what at the us support, the former president hernandez, would you know, millions of dollars in the 1st place when there was controversy around him. yeah, they, he's been a strategic ally for quite a while now. part of it was that the us had other concerns. trafficking was, was one of them, but also the migrate prices, which was beginning to relieve of blossom under, under his is presidency. and so many were prepared to look the other way. it seems in furtherance of these other objective is tracking down on crime, other types of prime rather and found and that sort of thing. but of your project is focusing on ending the damage caused by the drug was what needs to be done. now. it's important to remember uh, this is almost the same kind of scenario we got caught up and over and over and over again a century ago. during alcohol prohibition. because what we're talking about today

with these drugs, whether it's cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, or any other type of drugs, we're talking essentially about minimally process. agricultural and chemical commodities, that cost of pennies per dose to manufacturer. the reason they're so incredibly profitable and expensive today is because of drug prohibition. and so the last people who want the drug war to end are drug traffickers and drug warriors because neither side to make a reasonable living without the other. it's, it's, it's prohibition that acts as an indirect or unintentional price supports, if you will, for drug traffickers that makes the substances priceless when they are cost pennies for those. and that's something interesting. 20 seconds. what has the us one drugs failed? yes, it's failing every day. but spelling even worse. uh, because now we could replace the traditional plant, the right drugs with synthetic drugs like sentinel and methamphetamines,

which are far more problematic, easier to smuggle, easier to produce, produce and, and, and cheaper than 4. right. okay, sound history. follow at the answer that a of the institute for policy studies. thank you very much for speaking to us. finally, an exhibition by one of the giants of pop on the show in vienna installs the american pioneer. roy lichtenstein, his work inspired by drawings and comic books made him one of the most influential office of the 20th century. many of his best known paintings have been brought together to mock 100th, anniversary of his. but here's a reminder. off on top stories, an international operation to bring desperately need of age into guise of i. c is gaining momentum. the 1st ship carrying 92 in supplies could leave the cypress heading for a new maritime cord on this weekend. that's all for now,

after the break report looks at the rapid growth of different genetic old churches in brazil told me a lot of the world in progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic. the 2nd son of good about this story is beyond the headlines world in progress. the w talk costs. sometimes a seed is of all you need to allow big ideas to grow or bring an environmental conservation to wife with learning facts like global ideas.
