the the, this is dw news live from bill in fresh hope for getting food and medicine into guys of the 1st ship carrying monetary and supplies from cyprus, could leave as early as this weekend. nigeria, as ends in the army, search for hundreds of children and kidnapped from us, cool a corresponding has details of the biggest mass of duction in the years. and the us court find the form of the president of under as guilty of drug trafficking. now one, orlando hernandez is facing 40 years in prison. the

don't tell me a lot about welcome to the program. an international operation to bring desperately need an aide into a guys by sea is gathering momentum. a ship carrying humanitarian supplies from an american charities. preparing to leave lanika in cyprus, us and european union will work with the u, a. e and other countries to ship food medicine and emergency shelters. 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, 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 was 9 months pregnant fell on the stairs. there was a stage of a panic and fear the 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 and we'll just have daughters k, there aren't any factors involved in that mission like this one kind of give you suggestions. it's quite a challenge to see what's going on. so i can't predict the time table for many reasons, because of time and security as you mean in fact. but as soon as everything is ready, we leave from here to our probably most likely, 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, but construction could take as long as 2 months. right now, aid 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. mike mazda, end of thing's colors, london told me what needs to be done before the aid arrives in gaza? a so the, the 1st thing i need switching out is the permissions and paperwork of still not being completed in cyprus. i'm part of that is these writing, signing off the shipments um the actual journey from cypress to dogs is about $200.00, no, 2 miles. so a 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 all building a pair 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 not disclose location to security reasons, then that's the biggest problem level, which is distribution online. how do you make sure that the aid is not multi in stolen? you know, millions of thousands of desperate people. how do they distribute it in a fat 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, the warehouse and control the central stuck edge 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 duty, but 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, eyes, police, to go back to what perhaps on, on this side of it they can ensure that those supplies are able to, gets 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 and it could take up to 2 months to build what form is that likely to take and, and what difference would that one make?

so the u. s. ministry has got a 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 at that for now. mike, mounting from kings college london, thank you for your analysis. thank you very much. security forces

in northern nigeria, searching woodland for nearly 300 children, abducted from a school by gunman. can nothings have become a lucrative business for armed gangs? parents are losing faith in the authorities to prevent the abductions or to find missing children. hearing words of support and while going through every parent's worst nightmare shackle of all is anxiously hoping for his kidnapped son to return home. but t mobile again, but you about i couldn't even sleep last night. yeah. yeah. you know, my wife and i, i'm kind of weird, devastated or not we can, we just couldn't fall asleep, but that it was the old of his 2 sons who was taken by the government. his youngest son managed to escape the for my son. and then does it get defend its arrived on motorcycles. why they started shouting and then

shooting. know who do i all the students run away into the nearby bushes. well now what do i need to do? one of the bandits chased after me as i ran, you know, but i was able to get away from him saying i looked around for a way to escape. and i was able to make it across the road and into the bushes that i came home from, their kid nothings to run. some are a major problem, major area. it's estimated the 1500 students had been taken by gangs and jihad is over the past decade. those do subtraction was the largest in recent to use the relatives of the children of pleading for those sorts has to help. but some of meat they have little faith in the government. the guy likes the jury in new york has found form a 100 and president, one orlando hernandez,

guilty of trafficking, hundreds of tons of cocaine into the us. prosecutors say he run hundreds like a non co 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 drug trafficking and weapons conspiracy. his lawyer says they will appeal the decision there in montana because he says he is innocent and he says he still has the strength to keep fighting. and now this was president of hon. tourist, 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 military 8,

prosecutors later on cover that she was linked with drop traffic cars, including former mexican dropped large fucking guzman known as l chapo, he was accused of helping small gl around $500.00 tons of cocaine to the us. hernandez 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 her door and citizens gathered outside the court house. locust, almost a key to 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 so that authorities can no longer harm our country. guessing game that they devote themselves to serving our people. not destroying our people. don't have level of the, it's the 1st time in more than 3 decades that a formal foreign leader has been convicted of drug trafficking in the us. some history is a fellow at the institute for policy studies and director of its drug policy project. i asked him whether this conviction was a victory for the us drug and force meant agency. well, victory is a, it's not so much a victory is, is the ongoing process of shoveling water, basically that it really doesn't produce many subsets, 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 drug 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, 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 level of and, and, and, and what types of drugs 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 a, 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 at the us, the other concerns, trafficking was,

was one of them but also the migrate prices which was beginning to really a blossom under under his, his presidency. and so. ready many were prepared to look the other way it seems in furtherance of these other objective is cracking down on crime, other types of problem rather, and found. and that sort of thing. a bite 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 this is almost the same kind of scenario we got caught up and over and. ready 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 instead of means or any of those type of drugs. we're talking essentially about minimally process agricultural and chemical commodities that cost today's per dose, the 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 of. ready if you will, for drug traffickers that makes the substances price list when they are cost pennies for those. and that's something interesting. 20 seconds. what has the us one drug failed? yes, it's failing every day. that's failing, 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 a dance and that a of the institute for policy studies. thank you very much for speaking to us. you and that's all we have time for. but after the break report, it looks at the rapid growth of angelic old churches and brazil told me on why the

quote from myself and the team. thank you very much for watching the rising strategy issues with a lot say what crazy. the real estate innovation green the

green revolution.
