nations women's rights for them, despite having would complain as cole and abysmal rank hold on the gender equality reality, those lead the un commission responsible for promoting equal rights worldwide active as of heavily criticized the kingdoms uncontested appointment. solve the authorities, have repeatedly jail women's rights workers or the fall of a building that crypto boss bagman freight is facing a sentencing hearing in one of the biggest financial 4 cases in american history. the jury found bagman freed guilty on 7 criminal calls last november, 1st dealing billions of dollars from is crypto exchange platform. f t x. prosecute to say he defrauded tens of thousands of customers from around the world, spending over $80000000000.00 of the savings on luxury homes and risk investments. they are seeking

a sentence of up to 50 years in prison. while this defense team has pleaded for lenient. now let's cross over to a financial corresponded young's call to who has been following the story in new york for us. uh yes, this is one of the biggest financial 4 cases in tech in the tech industry. tell us more about the case. yeah, definitely isn't. what we heard already from the judge today is that some begmen freight actually perjured himself, meaning that quote, higher of a sense. and as a sentence, theoretically we are speaking of the offer and maximum of over a 100 years. but that is pretty unlikely. what i'm hearing maybe 2530 years, so it could be what was the job to saying we will learn a more a today. and then the defense actually is saying that a lot of the money that was lost has been recovered by now. also, partly because the crypto currencies have been on the rise quite a bit in the past

a couple of months. and that's why the defense is asking for just 5 to 6 years. now what can you tell us about the rise and fall of the f t x and some i bergman treat or yeah, well i mean it is definitely one of the most spectacular cases that i've also witnessed them here in my time. or during my time in new york, i mean baby barton, you made also maybe was another one. and yeah, i mean what, the, what we did see it was a mess of fraud, a case in an industry that is still a rather young button. all this sudden thing. yeah, everybody is waiting for this outcome probably in the next couple of minutes. now prosecute does have a to is back. i'm afraid of stealing billions of dollars from thousands of customers and investors. how does he manage to get away with that for so long without getting quotes? well, i mean,

we have seen that and similar cases so often. um, you can actually play that game quite a bit until investors want their money back. and that's probably what happened at some point. and then also because we saw m f t x caught up saying during this whole called crypt or a winter of the money, it just wasn't there. and that's when the whole thing came to lights that. so that's always the big problem once investors and not just a few but menu want their money back then we see both fraud cases. um yeah, see the, the, the light of that now where does this leave? they've already very follow talk crypto market and the whole industry it attached to it as well. i mean, that is to me also quite an stunning because it was not just this scandals. we had a couple of scandals. we have a couple of bankruptcies, but the crystal market actually didn't seem to bother at all. i did mention the

crypto venture earlier. so when f f t x are collapsed, um, so a bitcoin suited at about $17000.00 as we speak today, bitcoin straight at 70 a $1000.00. so all those scandals, all those bankruptcies didn't harm the crypto market itself at all. and also regulators recently and has been much more open to the crypto. well then they used to be a year or 2 ago the financial correspondent, again, school today in new york for us. thank you again. and we can now return to our top store, the united nation, pick saudi arabia to had a women's rights commission that we can now speak to based on the kiosk, ease uh with amnesty international. and that container on saudi arabia and she joins me now from a baby. now saw the low it, for example, in shrines, mail, guardianship. what are the consequences of such a is even leaving?

are you in for them on women's rights? thank you so much for for having me. honestly, i don't know whether to laugh or to cry. after you're introduced us on your radio was pointed to the commission on the status of women. every day i promise you to national, we're working on the cases of women. we're currently in prison because they have tried to defend the women's rights. and the job of this commission on the status of women is to promote gender equality and to promote women's empowerment. i can tell you that right now we're working on the case of a young woman 29 years old, a fitness instructor and women women, human rights defenders was forcibly disappeared. so her finally doesn't know where she is. and the reason that she was locked up was because she tweeted on the hash tag and the male guardianship. and because she posted a photo of herself in the mall without wearing a traditional buyer. so for me,

this is absolutely for us to call that the commission on the status of women which have sonya ravia and it's chair and i must express my disappointment with the 45 member states were on the commission and no one that stood up to challenge saudi arabia's appointment to, to the commission. i think that their silence is a betrayal of bruce, how many women were working so hard, perhaps under equality under pain. huge, huge consequences based on what does this mean for this commissions credibility and also more broadly for the you ins, credibility. i think it is unfortunate that the commission on the status of the women decided at 2 points of uribe. i think it tarnishes their credibility to speak out against gender discrimination. but the way that the one has gone may have seen the international community go more broadly.

saudi arabia has titled this image, their top painting on this idea that they have somehow reached so much progress of explore on the issue of human rights. so you have the un printing it on, on the commission on the status of women, the internet. governance for him is going to be held in the re, uh in december, which is a, you know, it's a conference about, about freedom online. this is one of the things on an agenda, when actually saudi arabia is locking people up for it's social for, for posting about rights on social media. so we're seeing the, when we're seeing football players, we're seeing businesses, we're seeing world leaders show up to saudi arabia and just, we think human rights under the rug. and unfortunately, they're following for saudi arabia's your campaigns and honesty. this is very concerning for us because who is going to pressure saudi arabia to release great

people like baby or side of much hardware out that i might as a ton of people have been detained for their social media posts, who's going to pressure saudi arabia to release them when everyone is rolling out the red carpet for saudi arabia. and besides, you hinted at this early of 45, you remember states serve as members of that commission at any point. how did this big go on oppose what kind of horse trading happened there? honestly, i wouldn't be able to tell you what, what happens behind the close door. so stories of the, when we have seen some of the rainbow diplomatically go in to for on whether it's, it's in the human rights council or beyond where it doesn't belong for how country believe. but it's body radio takes on these role. they might credibly act in order to improve human rights and there in the kingdom. maybe it's a, it's an issue, a good thing. and if that's the case,

and what i would say is that these member states must call on saudi arabia to release all women's human rights defenders to and mail guardianship. and to ensure that there is no gender discrimination. they have these numbers. states have let saudi arabia through the door and now saudi arabia must show that it is up to the task of being chair of the commission on the stuff been present lucky or that from amnesty international. thank you very much. thank you. ukraine's foreign minister to me through collab. i'm is visiting india in an attempt to strengthen ties between the 2 countries. a short time ago. we like to research the memorial for my gun. the color vice promoting keeps peaceful in mid to end the world with russia. as well as seeking human to terry and assistance on investments aid from debbie bought india and has traditionally had strong economic and defense ties with russia and has not but backed sanctions against most go over
