wrong for the supposed crime of promoting homeless ex. well, the god opens. welcome to the program, the full, a 1000000000 that crypto boss, some bank, min fried, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for multi $1000000000.00 fraud. i do a found back one for a guilty on the 70 criminal accounts last november for student billions of dollars from his crypto exchange platform. f t x. prosecute to say he defrauded tens of thousands of customers from around the world, spending more than $8000000000.00 on this savings on luxury homes and risky invest . let's cross over to the a, to a financial correspondent. the call to has been following the story for us in new york. now as low as us for 6 and a half years,

prosecute just wanted $40.00 to $50.00. now he got 25. what do you make of this or well, i mean the, it is a spectacular case and to 25 clearly is many years that the same bank meant freedom has a to face and the a judge also found to a guilty on the account of perjury. so that it didn't really help us and bank been a freight on the other side. the judge also sees us. it's pretty unlikely event to you will repeat such a fraud in the future and therefore the judge as a thought and so necessary to go even higher. um, i mean, the prosecution at some point was looking at 40 to 50 years, so, so 25 years. so that's what is the verdict now tell us a bit more about this guys. it was quite spectacular. wasn't that elizabeth more about that? it was definitely a spectacular case. and maybe we shouldn't forget,

i mean at some point if t x, so his crypto platform was the biggest script plot from on the planet. but sen begmen freed was also running a hedge fund to them. i made a research. and with that actually got some heavy losses. he tried to cover those lots us with money from his clients. and that's how the whole spiral to a certain degree started. and we had talking a bit about a fraud case of roughly at $10000000000.00, even if the defense is saying, especially was the crystal market recovering quite a bit in the past a couple of months that most of the clients actually might see their money being paid in full, but that didn't really matter that much when it came to sentencing today. now this fold that he committed, it went on for years. how did he manage to get away with it so that he might to yeah, we're like, i think the problem probably really is that when clients are looking to get their

money back into, didn't have some money. because as i mentioned to cover their losses for allow me to research, that's probably how the whole case blew up. but then also, i mean, be kind of full and whom you trust. i mean, look at the case. also, bernie made also that we've seen a couple of us a goal send payment for you to for many was seen as a brilliant and kit he's by the way, 32 years old and now. so yeah, the question is how brilliant he really was. now where does this leave the already pretty fall? it's all crypto market and the whole industry attached to it. yeah, that's definitely also quite a stunning because we had this huge boe out of the f t x. but we also had to couple of other crypto firms that are going bankrupt. so this is not the only even if it's the most spectacular case. but the crypto market itself actually doesn't seem to care when f t x collapsed them. bitcoin stood at $17000.00. today we are at

$70000.00, some almost as a, a record tie. and even if you look at the regulators some just the, this year, they opened the doors for more financial products and around the crypto world. so if you have the crypt or markets in general didn't really matter or it didn't influence the market at all. all those scandals that we've covered in and seen in the past couple of years and it's probably not the last sky until that we see in that area death and the know dance. one last question. very brief on. so please. and you've been covering roles fees. uh for, for many, many years and really in terms of scandals. you mentioned birdie made of where does this one rug? well, i went to the rank it into the definitely in the top 3 so. so maybe the homeless on par with the, with the bernie made of cuz that's go to the thank you very much. i a saudi

arabia and this to take over the united nations women's rights for despite having what campaign as cole, an abysmal re, quote on gender equality at home. re add was the lead to you and commission responsible for promoting equal rights world wide active as have heavily criticized the kingdoms uncontested. the point and solve the thirty's have repeatedly jailed women's rights workers. now based on the fucking guys from amnesty international in bay route and she said she was shocked as saudi arabia, being given the chair of that committee. 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 amnesty international, 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 the 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, of fitness instructor and women's women. human rights defenders was forcibly disappeared. so her family doesn't know where she is. and the reason that she was locked up was because she tweeted on her in the hash tag and email guardianship. and because she coasted 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 ruby audits. chair and i must express my disappointment with the 45 member states were on the commission, and no one stood up to challenge some of your reviews appointment to to the commission. i think that there's silence as a betrayal of bruce,

how many women were working. so hard, perhaps under equality under pain, huge, huge consequences be something. what does this mean for this commissions credibility and also more broadly for the u. n's credibility. i think it is unfortunate that the commission on the status of the women decided at 2 points out of your radio. 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. savvy ravia has titled this image, they're top painting on this idea that they have somehow reached so much progress over for one issue of human rights. so you have the one point to get on on the commission on the status of women, the internet. governance for them is going to be held in the re odd and december, which is a, you know, it's

a conference about about freedom online. is one of the things on his agenda when actually saudi arabia is locking people up for it socially 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 campaign and honesty. this is very concerning for us because who is going to pressure saudi arabia to release break 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 beside 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 story of the, when we have seen some of the rainbow diploma directly 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 faith and a spouse 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's no gender discrimination. they have these numbers, states have left side the radio through the door. and now saudi arabia must show that it is up to the task of being chair of the commission on this task based on fucking of that from amnesty international. thank you very much. thank you. let's

take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. poland, prime minister, i don't know to says he, his government is close to a deal with ukraine on agricultural and ports to his cause. speaking often told, with ukraine's premier dentistry at home in warsaw, poland farmers have been protesting for months, sang ukrainian impulse under cutting. the un schuman rights chief, has described the situation in haiti as a cataclysmic gun violence of spirals out of control is un estimates at least 1500 people up until this. yeah, it lands corruption and pull governance for allowing guns to control the streets. at least 11 people were killed when a psych loan struck by the gas cap stock loan gum on it was expected to skin the coast,

but suddenly change direction. flash flooding has left several 1000 villages. cutoff from imagines the assistance. so the southern ukrainian city of kind of song has again been hit by russians selling. one man was injured, small scale has stepped up on the bottom of ukraine in recent weeks, targeting vital infrastructure in retaliation for strikes on russian boarder regence or the president of the palestinian authority. mama, the boss has approved a new government in the west bank. i'm an international pressure to reform, is administration prime minister mohammed. most of all, we'll had the new cabinet and says ending the war and gaza will be the top priority . more than 1000000 guys into account. the sheltering of the southern city of rough office. israel pursues it's offensive against how most militants were responsible for the october 7th terror attacks. the aftermath of an air striking rough uh, a. now all too familiar theme. rescuers digging bodies out of rubble of the things

with normal, that is, be no trouble here. the strikes just come at random. the are the problem about 1500000 people live here after fleeing is rarely operations in the north, from kansas city to hon. eunice. and finally, to rafa the end of the line where food and medicine shortages threaten then immune and famine, as well as disease outbreaks. but it's unclear how long people can stay or how safe they'll be marked areas on this map show where israel has been conducting ground operations in gaza, with troops coming close to rafa. but so far, israel has only conducted airstrikes here without send again ground troops. elsewhere, fierce ground fighting continues with assaults on targets around garza city and han eunice on going israel's allies, patients is growing sent and both the us and germany have said that a ground incursion, inter rasa would be crossing

a red line. us secretary of state antony blinking, visited the region last week to deliver that message. it risk killing more civilians. it was a reason greater having with the version of the manager and assistance. it was further isolating is really around the world and jeopardize is long term security in spanish. but israel has been ignoring these calls from its closest allies. it says it will fulfill its goal of destroying her mouse. and that means an invasion of rasa is necessary even at the risk of a deeper rift between israel and the us. a little we gone to defeat a mass of about going into rafa. i told the secretary blink, and i hope to do that with the support of united states. but if we need to, we will do it to load and that's a little bit of a israel says it will move civilians from rafa into humanitarian islands elsewhere and gaza. upon his release no concrete plans now,

she was locked up any around for being gay and sentenced to death for promoting homosexuality. you ran the analogy between the 2 active is, sorry i'm donnie did not think she would ever leave prison to live, but often international complaint. yes. all right. is that a go? eventually she settled in the german city of cologne. w. pull to nick, in fact, spoke to sorry about her experiences. had it not been for february protests here in cologne, so a hum, donny would have been put to death in her native. you're wrong. my con. video business here in germany or rainy and so have gathered together to protest the death penalty sentence of sorry, hum donny. iran is so far killed more than $6000.00 homosexuals. only hope is a very beautiful thing. good. some people came here with hope and with my voice that day. now i'm here trying to be the voice of others. it is

a cycle that must continue and i use the platform that i have to be the voice of others because it is very important. and effective. so ray had never previously thought about moving to germany, but she was forced to flee here by a government that considered her actions criminal and who continued to harass or still. it was the light in sun us send me. i gave me 13 days to pay my bio money. if i couldn't pay rums, government would sell my mother's house and she would have gone to prison. what is that fear is the one on what, what is in the info. just other letter. it runs through digital system demanded the equivalent of tens of thousands of yours for her continued freedom. sir, i was forced to ask friends and family for help. under a strictly religious government are ranging in space, many problems on a daily basis. that's all right, believes l g b t people have it worse than most self inquiring. i have to get married when i was very young. it pains me to talk about that time. i'm gonna try to pass along. i was

just 14 years old and became a mother at a very young age. hi. so we lived together for 8 years, which was with the prison i was laser, seemed to i titled, eventually i said to myself, why don't i get away? i was born once and i will die once. it is better to die, one has been dying and sighed every day. but living a free and normal life was out of the question. and the country that considers homosexuality a treatable disease, a muddy zone. am i a sick person, so you kind of treat me with whatever pills and drugs you like, which do you think that will kill me? but this is what my soul wants. my soul finds peace and loving a woman. and i think those who cool a 6 a 6 themselves lose 1st of us, some now safe in germany. so a will continue to fight not only for her own freedom, but for the rights of fellow l. g. b, t, people back home. as being shoddy, i mean,

a rainy and ride to an activist who also lives in exiles here in germany. and also is the, the executive director of a 6 rang and rang and organization for lesbians and transgender people. now you and your organization with key to the companion that led to so i'm don, is escape from iran. tell us how that was made possible. hi that a so as you know, as the head, as soon as we had about the news, i've had that sometimes to be connected to all of the human rights organization here, a international and should be 2 organizations. and you and a u. n. of t shirts. and retry to meet the, the voice of sar, it at that time. and the, the result was the huge campaign we trust, supported by pen building and other organization like all, all, ellis, with the and the, uh, so 100000 the people that are on their ward, signed

a petition for, had a release there is that because they were on henry james couldn't continue to, to get there. and they really saw in the case of sata shows, us when the international community and react creek need, then we can have access. now they released about why do the, do the mullers really continue to harass active as an exile? so that's the case. that's a is about me to that the, for, for us, some troops, the, the german and the security office. they connected me and said that they know that they weren't in government target the us target that me and my partner. so this is a what we have a, a, as a expands, you know, his or even have the history of me kind of that tailor off for here on. yeah. and

i'll put she uh, positions in barely. so we know that they run in government that doesn't accept any voice, any opposition or voice, and then it is a strong voice. studies for them is a dangerous voice, and they try to shut off. and it's uh they, they use every method they, uh, they decide for, for them. maybe i am here on record. there's supposed to be could be a torture and kid. but then the i and, and germany or in european countries, they try to treat our farm assignment is in evey that they made pressure on us to, to not to do any activities. so it is the case, unfortunately that they try all the time with the activities in excise to now what can be done to help clear it, right? and so conflicts the country. so let me see the case of the saw that i'm the know

that the there and you re keep the same sex conduct is on the 7th to death the new year. ok, you're on is one of the 7 countries and the war war reach continues to punish same sex. come back with this and i'll see. and i think the best think is that there were there that you can governments, they, uh, when they negotiate with they aren't in government, but they are on an regime. they go to always that the man writes the show on the table. they don't forget about that and you reach a community you're on reach is one of them. royce places community senior and because in most cases that's even the families doesn't support them. so that's why routine. it's now is more important than ever to talk about the ged to come in to talk about their rights, the eligibility to a campaign. i sorry,

i mean there many thanks for sharing your experience and expertise. thank you again . thank you to the us. know a diverse searching for 6 workers missing of the votes. him a bridge collapse, have recovered the bodies of 2 men. they were part of a crew working on the bridge when it was rammed by a cargo ship safety investigate design, now inspecting the vessel investigators on boarding the cargo ship right where it sits in the water. earlier searchers found the bodies of 2 missing men who'd been working on the bridge shortly before 10 am divers located the red pickup truck, submersion approximately 25 feet of water in the area of the middle span of the bridge. divers, recovery to v o. 2 victims of this tragedy trap within the vehicle. now they're

trying to see what other clues they can cover. what we know so far is that the ship called dolly lost power in steering, as it was leading to baltimore port and hit the francis scott key bridge. 56 containers were damaged during the collision. that's $764.00 tons of hazardous materials, mostly corrosive, flammable and some miscellaneous hazardous materials, class 9 hazardous materials, which would include lift, am i on batteries? some of the has mac containers were breached. searchers have found all these data reporter, the black box, which may tell seat visuals even more. it contains 6 hours of audio that includes radio traffic between the pilot and authorities on the shore. the ship's crew may also be able to explain even more. 23 people in 2 pilots for onboard donnelly,

at the time of the bridge collapse, authorities are interviewing everyone involved and hope to know even more in the days to come to france now with the lower house of parliament has back to bill banning workplace discrimination based on people's has style the bill nice prejudice over the text length, color or style of hair punishable by little. it's back to say the main victims of discrimination. i've been black women wearing the hand naturally. estella works as a consultant. she's had to navigate the tangled politics of hair as a black woman in france since she was a child of the people that designed it. when i was younger, i remember lamenting the lack of salons and even hair products. there was a time when unfortunately, we had to use products designed for european hair and not adapted to our hair

budget where the 10 to the friends sell on owner od junko, encourages women to take pride in their natural hair. especially if they've been told it's unprofessional. sometimes they focus and they say things too, because think of you like to, sorry, i really understand my here and i can, i can well then natural, the way i am not strong here means it's not been straightened. wood heat or chemicals, some black french women said their employers have tutton, fired them for it. and be all of this so far drafted this bill to bend discrimination based on head texture glint color and style facility i took the of so at this time i'm thinking of all the people who in the work environment made the effort of straightening the hands. it gets a job really well, so they'll be able to say, be careful, mister employer. this is discrimination. and you'll face sanctions such as prison or a fine. that's why i think it's fundamental that we expand to this legislation in the

back of the cell on the consultants is francis draft block with protect anyone who wants to feel comfortable being themselves the there's no reason to be ashamed of who you are, whether it's your hair, or even the fact that you don't have any, it can be an issue for bald men, for instance, to feel less valued because they're bald. all of this, this law, the way i see it is that today we're going even further towards taking down these barriers of discrimination. so let's, let's fresh lawmakers approve the bill on thursday. which audio faced opposition from the far right? who believe friends already has enough laws to protect against discrimination? or you're watching the news here as a reminder of our top story. the fall and crypto concert king son franklin, freedom has been sentenced to 25 years in prison. fulfilled the swindled customers

of billions, blowing money on the luxury, lifestyle, and risky, and this message from the in the news team. so now next step conflict, so with tim semester got office invalid from me. and let's see. i saw the

answers with conflicts own with the best in here at the munich security conferences, cynthia, in security, i'm confident providing the politicians on that side of the world reached a dangerous inflection point. my guess is we have the 2nd live experience with the highest significant levels in the us 90 below 0. the next, the don't. the new will tell here. we are happy, the box was the story. we have a getting

a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future in the stories industries that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 60 minutes on d, w, the old trends, new friends can nature defend itself in case of an emergency. we cannot guarantee that we could protect munich, franklin, berlin, santa, faced with russia's war against. will grace's military alliance spaces, new threats? would it really close ranks? if it were a tough call to europe and security basically depends to 90 percent of the us

out to the hotel commentary runs april full on dw, the here at the munich security conference has plenty of in the security and conflict to worry the politicians, the next but so how's the world reach that dangerous inflection point? my guess is we have becky's of experience has the highest political levels in the us. she's california congress, woman and former speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi and gaza. the us as one that israel has killed 5 to many palestinians, but is jerusalem listening. how will funding for ukraine clear the kind of luck in the us congress. and this president of the 5 really too old to run for a 2nd to.
