. i break off. it's good to have you with this one this thursday, former billionaire crypto boss, sam, bakeman fried, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for multi 1000000000 dollar fraud. they've been freed sentence was handed down at a manhattan court house today. last november. the jury found him guilty on the southern criminal accounts for stealing billions of dollars from his crypto exchange platform. f t. x prosecutor say that he defrauded tens of thousands of customers from around the world, spending over $8000000000.00 a beer savings on his luxury homes. and risky investments, as i asked financial correspondent units court in new york. what does he make of this 25 year said? yeah, well, i mean, that was definitely a spectacular case. and to the defense a was saying that most of the money that was the loss of for

a client's office and bagman freeze actually recovered a lot of their money. maybe even all of it. that's why they were asking only for 5 to 6 years. but then the judge came to the conclusion that same payment for you, what he was doing that it was a huge fraud case. and then he was also found to guilty on their perjury. so that also was one of the reasons why the sentence came to 25 years prosecution at some point even had us to 40 to 50 years. but to adjust that said that it's pretty unlike if it's the same back meant freed would do a fraud, a scenario like that again. so therefore, and 25 is enough at ease when it comes to the jobs and it is, let me just ask you as, as the markets reported, that the people who lost this money were talking about 7 or $8000000000.00. have they gotten any of that money back? well, i'm not sure if, if it how much money they've gotten back to, but them actually

a people who are running the company for us and bank vent free. they did recover quite a bit of the money. they found some money, they found some assets, and then on top of it also there's a clicked on market. actually has been on fire in the past couple of months. so meaning that the price is to increase tremendously it to you um highest and that also helps um so that most of the money as it seems um actually i could get a recovered at what point investors will get their money back. i don't know. and the judge today said the bank been free, the only thing that he regretted was making a bad bet and then getting calls. how does he managed to do this in the 1st place as well? i mean, like always send was other pundit schemes for example, it comes down to trust and people trust the, tim, i'm actually even politicians and regulators and watson combusting in the head to frequent meetings with sen, bank mon,

free attempts. he actually gave the impression that he wants to be the good guys that he is trying to get better regulation of for the eclipse. so industry, about one of the problems was that in other business of san bank, meant freed a hedge fund. i made a, a research that lost quite a bit of money and to use the client's money to cover those losses. but people did trust them and gave for the money until it became obvious that he didn't have the money. right. financial corresponding, it's quarter with the legacy new york ins. thank you. we can call it's a very unexpected and unlikely choice. today the united nations announced that saudi arabia will take over the un women's rights for him. and that despite having what campaigners call an abysmal record on gender equality, reward will lead the human condition responsible for promoting equal rights around the world. active is heavily criticize the kingdoms uncontested appointment saw the

authorities have repeatedly imprisoned women's rights workers. this on for key is from amnesty international in b route. she said that she was shocked if saudi arabia being given the chair of this 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. everyday, amnesty international were working on the cases of women were 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, 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 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 has sonya ruby on its 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 court 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 that was based on if i key there from amnesty international in they were. let's take a look down some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the un will no longer monitor the enforcement of sanctions against north korea after

a russian veto. and the security council effectively abolishes the panel, which oversaw the longstanding sanctions over north korea's nuclear program. western countries have accused russia a trading weapons with p on yang, the fuel, the war in ukraine. to do you is a human rights chief as describe the situation in haiti as a cataclysmic. gang violence has spiraled out of control. you were the estimates, at least 1500 people have been killed this year. and he blames corruption and poor governance for allowing gains to control the streets. at least 11 people were killed when a sign clone struck, met a gas car. the cycling was expected to skim the codes, but it suddenly changed direction. flash flooding his left several towns and villages cut off from emergency assistance. here in europe at poland said prime minister donald tusk says that his government is close to a deal with ukraine on agricultural imports. and that's

a big deal to us speaking after talks today with ukraine's prime minister, a poet is sinking caps on cheap imports. ukraine says that it has agreed to some limitations, problems, farmers, they've been protesting for months mail, saying that ukrainian imports are under cutting their own produce and threatening livelihood. martyr approach which that's self cut, specializes in published foreign policy. if the german marshal funded, i asked her what a compromise here could possibly look like. i think if it were easy to come to a compromise, they would have definitely come to a compromise by now. so um, after 100 of hours, this is a topic that is a very important one between pulling and ukraine, but apparently it's very hard to come to a concrete solution. the good thing is that they are meeting regularly and holding conversations and trying to find

a compromise. but negotiations have been very hard at the same time. they have a not impacted color supports for the war in ukraine have not impacted the mil. terry deliveries to a significant extent and colon and ukraine continue to stand against our common enemy while trying to solve this a bi lateral issue. yet farmers have been protesting now in poland for a year, initially spurred on by the former right wing government. now how big of a challenge are the farmers pro charge is going to be for the new government led by donald tusk to they're definitely a challenge. this is perhaps not the, the biggest issue that the government has to deal with, but definitely top of the agenda, especially in view the fact that pulling will be holding its local elections very soon next week actually. so this is an issue that has a wide supports in the population in the sense that,

of farmers and what the protests that they are voicing are supported by wide segments of the population, including hunters and other groups of supporters. and therefore, this is definitely a very high on the government's agenda, of course, of the war being the top priority because it's a security issue. is there a sense imposing that ukraine's leaders recognize an input size with the flight that that farmers are in now and have been in for the past 2 years? i do think that there is a acknowledgment of the difficulties on both sides of from on the one hand, poland being aware of the fact that you premiums are at war and they're in a dramatic situation. and poland is entirely supportive of ukrainians fight against

the common enemy at the same time ukrainians wanting to come forward with different forms of compromises. and acknowledging that the issue of agriculture is one that is highly strenuous in these relations. and i think what's important to remember in these bilateral relations is that whatever happens now in whatever way these, this issue is treated as important going towards the future, because ukraine will eventually become an e u member. yeah. more into voltage is always good with the german martial funded more so we appreciate your time tonight in your dallas's. thank you. thank you. the right to the middle east. the occupied westbank. it is seeing a surge of violets between his really forces and palestinians. the westbank is home to about 700000 is really settlers. the u. n says that they are living there illegally in the european union has agreed to sanction extreme. this settlers is

really human rights group. yes. did call to 2023. the most violent year on record for attacks carried out by settlers, including the area around the city of novelist shepherd, texas, heard out degrees in the occupied westbank, a job. not without risk. georgia. i don't know. maybe it will stay quiet. just maybe i'll get hurt. maybe the settings will come again. i don't know. somebody could happen here any minute. let's check if any moon says he's injured, repeated attacks by radical israeli settlers who live up on the mountain. the shepherd claims he and his flock had been beaten, and even shot at palestinians in the neighboring village say they also come under attack. no near works for and is really human rights group and documents the violence. he filmed an incident last fall that claims to show mass settlers,

trespassing on a property with she is really armies standing by and watching all of us officially. unfortunately, nobody protects you here. that is not the army. when i told the police, if they don't do anything, how they will do you have no choice but to lock yourself on your house. to close the windows and doors instead of the attack. so increasing every day. how likely bob will show a big deal of it. this man says whose car was set on fire over the weekend for the 2nd time, the plus the 5 last 2 cars in under 2 months. then i'm going to move out a or the lives close to a settlement, but he's cut off from his neighbors. they have shattered their windows and sealed off their homes with barbed wire. back at my moons, things are quiet. he hopes has heard,

can graze for several more hours. he claims the attackers are off and wearing is really army uniforms. the army rejects accusations that it allows settler violence . we drive up the mountain to hear from the settlers themselves. so many don't want to talk to us, but we find one person who does wear and that's no, it is a top by us. again, stand alone. i don't think so. that doesn't happen. i wish we could attack the called at the moment. unfortunately, we're just defending ourselves. let's me to go to name what i on the southern, the human rights groups. a violence by settlers has risen sharply since a mass carried out. the october 7 terror attacks is really such as a, using the public climate and as well as the anger of palestinians. the also the fact that the focus of israeli society and the international communities elsewhere

is on gaza to basically pursue the objective that they've been pursuing for many years, which is to remove palestinians from their homes. this is the reason why this violence has risen moon and has heard, had a peaceful day. he will return tomorrow despite the risks. after all, he says, this is his land. to the we are all set. we are watching close to the to bring you the story behind the new, the will on about com, biased information for free might say do to name in charlotte the.
