corruption and violence rarely seen in the country before. drugs prosecutor sonia medina faces organizations seeking to launder billions of dollars. today she is leading in a parade in the city of the north of lima. but only in the life of a compelling man i know that. she's aiming to seize hundreds of market stalls another property which years of investigation suggest a road by a local cartel. if this. doesn't move if the we go for. months and i guess over the summer you're going to. have somebody who is the. case can we and what the little book to the most of it on the let me put up put it would you know it will nearly eleven in. more

than two hundred police officers are involved and the operation is one of the biggest this year. with so much at stake authorities must work quick things might turn violent any time if you think. you know families are people who are fleeing the fighting the day i could come up against a force that knocks most of the flight only a few days of community and they are focused on looking at the almost like going to the beginning going from one place to see the other with your. liberals are supposed to listen to them in the average in their field in the seat of the stove when you are the first assistant shaker who study into this ng you seem to need you all is good at least to show my little success you mean.

it has taken medina a year or so to prove these market stalls are involved in laundering money for traffickers. now she's heading to another property which she claims is a front for drugs money. or to be able to look for her but i think the most here not to go but i know many have gone their separate ways and it has been he unveiled in the open a for me and i was a minister call that zero zero at the bus to a level below the lookout. for someone. on the ground ordering more related to me in my opinion lingo that's no good and no to anything still. what it is for never fit into the israelis. you know peace good. member for example since. i've been in for.

telling the incentives one then has the then the. one with the bigger uniform i think what i'm going to get under a lot of the home group who knows if i left the political system for the hands. of these leaves and the police it is that is why since convenient. please go with the both sisters in the home i mean the sentiment. here things are not going as expected as so often the accused claim innocence and or preventing the seizure. or that even if the film knew and didn't say let me go that coil or maybe that bit with. you know both you. know. what

yes what they feel must have been then belittled are going to mean that i hear and i mean but i wonder whether the fed them i mean what. accompanied by a local police medina arrives in a number property you. know it feels. this time a restaurant just outside the city of six hundred kilometers north of police. officer here you have it you know you're a matter of the reality or you are going off i don't like the idea that you could. have played in the school do you really care less about the real story is far less glad they're standing they don't feel mean they're really they're all on the plane with this thing given us if we upset the life of a number let me see some of the know when they're going to me and that if anyone

ever let me. after a long day preceded by months of preparation. not all the properties targeted have been seized. the obstacles are huge. billions of dollars are thought to be laundered every year and medina can only trace a tiny percentage. of. the human that they will get we're going to say. no i was standing here is here the fuels. italy must have thought of the idea of going to london already and they still meant the muslim in those. days nor did the locals feel it wasn't what they wanted. for four decades supported by the us who has concentrated on eradicating the growth

of the coca plant. it has done little to stop the supply of coca paste the main ingredient of cocaine. through the. movies i lived through and. police were looking to. follow you. in a little flugel. in the over the and. over to a bit of a. cover and are more. like the face of your.

single you. know it was a little boy enough alone to single simple. in the us and i thought. often the one thing that i might be going to do. in the water thought. with a view is i'm off. most of the looking. in the stalls and there's a little to the single universe. i'll sit on your thoughts in fortune for all of you for hopefully soon for one. season to say and i tell you what i was stunned enough today in orlando today. reliving the police you're going to. be. you know full blown the moon

often look at this full blown open the good people from dawn. until one of them one of them political affairs a little home about ok affable a cool a little. funny to follow up with i'm a simple field. office and we will be in the we'll. talk on a local plane with a little so little inclusive but a lot of them are. faced

by a seemingly unending supply of cocaine. the authorities are intensifying their efforts to control its export is in your face this is what is the only. what i let out of the almost i say when i mean that of these young. but then what i'll be mad he said i space you're not a. going to. say. what the single sale same goes if this had all see it did. it's them but it's not it doesn't all. the enemy is openly gay solomin days which they will not explore with us here on of . the losses of bush also sokal may seem like another year or. more in your. opinion and for young people. i

will not appeal and that's why most. and he's on the list i mean. if this is from going to see him go say would it be in this world is pretty on the minuscule in our levee system. for this is the but if you know this it will be shown full of calvary will they get that kind of a seal. a motor. bus a this they are all going to seem to fit in because how one nice. people but it seems as long as they might they. never will do what i call ness he said my love a man goes to sink i think i'm almost out of this on that may not a fundamentalist eco note but if he does say yeah it could mean that i mean monument as you know follow combine all. this but i suspect and that's all there is

commit in this regard or on the little needles. well what would you say. to them of the. earlier my if they could see stay in the mind that you see still fed by it was. has been seized by so far is already a policy of the b.s.e. government and that is. but are there are any better or a lot of plays on this i doubt they'll be part of why this case are credible. one dog rolled up already on monday by the city employees here mostly most i'm just out of the state of course i'm. sick i'm cold i go but in

a single quarter see. i mean they're. in the process. of. the tipoff was clearly wrong no drugs were found in this container of water heading for it to. us. as well as you know i mean that is seen when i think i mean. this all. the cartel spend huge sums bribing the port authorities to keep the drugs flowing.

the little are there. to see and this is a little should be middle. of the civil unions are lives in the beginnings of illegal below zero. zero zero zero zero zero. zero. zero zero zero. zero. zero zero zero zero little. this is. something. you know little most of the other you know so the low. level you know they're living up on the one side.

after more than a decade. as a drugs prosecutor. sonia maybe now has found a balance between her job and her family life. yes but by my mind that there's some. there's a yes we look at them they're better but at the sale now. i mean there are several but i mean mattis is the left i mean it. was said here there was a coming see on this it doesn't cost us we don't know they always said our hot or not. is me the apple good or do we handle them in. this is how can the mass have been that of the the me i'm not nearly. as popular and i think. does this is still on. for those number that you're not in the community want to me you know what i see how.

that a fair thing to tell mondale's and on and to have a or better or. tell us on the onus our face it going on when that when they're going to ease up on it and see their nose anywhere without all the. highly the same with. began to yell sound or allow it all go you know be yourself is to see what's coming. in really important. in the. core but of course. we're going to get out of. the getting to go into place. let's hear them. and to use the luck of the for the other ones and by sort of this is the best of them see

you know the films. you know but for the new. owner that it isto think you know show me what is afoot. but i. can do learn completed going and live here is. complete going to political poorly those who say it is so but this one this one don't get it and say oh poor men in general but a seal a c. . on . the back of the port and this has been received the call he's been waiting for. so for now he can't return to work. i was told it was alone last year for you know most of the c.m. to. hear all or. even most of what the us.

as a noble though as the lazy and so i gave. it to others she took a huge wardle. will tell you where. to shoot us i want to know that. they work their way to sirius or below the oil. that i'm allowed to stand i want a car a little bit of all this is a see a bar and the boy is a loneliest this is a little. mysterious i can go out and. just less.

when there were a couple. three months after the killing the sun authorities have finally made some arrests. but she doubts the people being held by police are the ones must remind of the killing. and therefore focus of the death. and they will have a. whole aura of a war. or the oval office our whole or castle or or all of our hypothetical. law school. and i will i'm all. for a fourth of an hour or so or call for help. then let him. come out of

a coma. come on to feel almost entirely how many. to me most of a lot. of all of. the mentoring on the different. things in school and the school of thought. good. to good for the best. understanding and that's where. kids will get us help in a lasting. course so i make dinner last night honest i mean. doesn't that all while ok

with us also. contain want to spend our singing. and i suspect a song a school song our ten year in the sun by his last course is going to hang for. less than two kilometers away. another queue of cocaine is almost ready. move the move forward. no one of the on off when all five to six feet.

that is if you're within the. foot on the one of. the same. guy lindelof on the wheel when you see. him a political from the other this will be on going with you on the mobile phone it will be on the lead. load on the samantha. you feed them.

i know you know. well you know a little thing. that we don't. get i want to haul. up. the hill and tim will. then we'll clean. things that he said in little way with. you know i love him a. little in google so who. will google the phone. call google if you will you feel. you feel when they're moving along when the. seizures by authorities are estimated to accounts to less than ten percent of

cocaine now but if so the ruin it's may now like the united states will have to redouble efforts if they want to keep fighting a war that for many is already lost. in the wealth of film under the infield. and the offer log on the. federal gun laws will be going to follow up on the in the on the. older one do you think. the coca plant has long been a pillar of believe in its traditions but its use in illegal drugs today is threatening the nation's culture the mayor and also torah jews are involved because they received it but while some have made fortunes many others have suffered at the hands of this multi-billion dollar industry malady my mother was strangled with the cable and brutally covered with coal was it you describe who are the winners and

losers of this illicit trade snow would be n.d.'s on al-jazeera. hello there we've had some very heavy downpours over georgia over the last few weeks in the rains here to continue to look at the satellite picture we can see the showers there stretching their way across the caspian sea but they're being replenished say plenty more of them as we head through the next few days elsewhere it's largely looking fine and dry just incredibly hot at the moment as you'd expect at this time of year so for beirut we'll probably get to around thirty or thirty one and forcing baghdad will be getting to around forty three here in doha it's going to be very windy over the next few days and that wind will bring a fair amount of dust at times but it will also make sure the temperatures aren't too high so we're looking at a top temperature of around forty two degrees on sunday the air will be a bit clearer as we head into monday so this time a maximum will probably get that little bit high up for the south but around the

south coast of oman and into yemen as it will cloud to say that could bring us a little bit of drizzle particularly in the foothills of the mountains the further towards the south and for the southern parts of africa areas really only in the eastern parts of arm up we've got the cloud at the moment could just give us one or two showers perhaps around the coast of mozambique a more likely over parts of madagascar but as you head towards the west there's more in the way of joy weather and generally not bad temperature wise a the cape town at twenty two and five in doc will be at twenty three degrees.

i mean this is different. when there is someone saying someone is very rich doesn't really need three things it's not your clothes an individual or nothing it is a certain way of doing it so you can just buy the story and fly out. a remarkable portrait of a remote japanese village in the aftermath of the two thousand and eleven earthquake and tsunami. seventy years later how has the community of meow coral been able to move on and rebuild their lives. japan to mouth of the catastrophe.

leaving syria at night via israel eight hundred members of the white helmets and their families flee across the occupied golan heights. hello i'm adrian finighan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up attempting to return to normality gaza's markets a busy as a fragile cease fire holds. cleared of links to boko haram the children released back into nigerian society. and banging the protest drug demonstrations outside the g. twenty economic summit in argentina. some of the white helmets volunteers who've rescued thousands of syrians over the

years have left southern syria via the occupied golan heights israel's military gave safe passage to eight hundred of the syrian rescue team and their families after a un request from israel they're being sent to jordan and then on woods to be resettled in western countries including canada the u.k. and germany here to stay. the director of policy analysis of the arab center for research and policy studies moment i can imagine there being a lot of raised eyebrows about the fact that first of all the israeli army was involved in this rescue and the fact that the white helmets went through the occupied golan heights to safety what do you make of it i mean this shows how messy the stew ration is in syria right now because when people actually see that this commission has been actually operated by there is an i.e.d. whereas these people are escaping the. the army of their own country a choice i mean how things are done here so i think on the other hand indeed

this will give them more credibility to the story of the syrian regime who was scarred wall from the very beginning because the white him as have been accused by the syrian regime in many occasions as being linked to a muslim on the one hand and on the other hand being actually having this sort of call but asian with that is that it is. has been talking about this for the past couple of years in fact especially in the southeastern part of the country on the on the borders with a few by golan heights but on the other hand there is that is would be using this for political purposes by showing this is that i mean we are the good guys in this and this whole issue and look how this this things are being handed how would this deal have come about as we said in the introduction just a few moments ago it was it came following a request from the u.n. . who else is involved was something agreed to do you think of the helsinki summit

between presidents putin and trump i think the whole issue of. human experience aspects of the crisis have been discussed. during the head sink the summit i think that was the focus when when discussing the syrian crisis because we know now for example. they have. said that they will be trying actually to return one point seven million syrian refugees to the home country so i think this could be part of that whole issue will trying actually to solve or focus mainly on the humanitarian aspect of the crisis while while actually putting on hold the political the political settlement i think we are going to see more of this in the next coming weeks and months as as the russians because we know also that the russians are calling for setting like a three party commission in jordan and then other one in any lebanon in order to help returning these three fiji's so they are home countries i think that is also

an indication that the russians will be trying actually to focus mainly on the construction on returning that if you g.'s. and thinking northwestern can't please all be involved in this because we have seen the french for example over the past couple of these sending humanitarian aid to the east and both are which is now under the control of the regime but what we will talk more about this in coming bulletins here on al-jazeera for the moment many thanks indeed is mona saying france has sent fifty tons of medical aid to the government controlled area of eastern ghouta in syria the aid is being sent on a russian plane the first time that a western country said but serial to government controlled areas with moscow's help government forces read to a peace and goes in april after a siege lasting several years around half a million people live there but very little aid has so far made it in joshua landis is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says the french move opens the door for others to engage with the acid government.

it's a small amount of aid but it indicates that france is willing to engage with russia and with assad in order to supply aid many policymakers had said we're not going to do this no reconstruction no engagement with a side it will of jet-a mys him it will legitimize the russians it will legitimize the iranians they want to roll back he ron they want to squeeze on assad and bring about regime change hence big economic sanctions but this little feeler on the part of the french to engage with the russians and with assad and just a small amount of aid many people are going to be hoping that it's going to open the doors towards greater acceptance of the fact that assad has won and we've seen yes with you know with trump's meeting with putin with the israelis telling the russians that they're willing to accept assad if if the russians can keep iran away

from their border that increasingly the international powers are accepting the fact that assad has one and they're beginning to look for ways to help refugees return they're worried that jordan and lebanon might blow it that the pressures are too great the sob big demonstrations in jordan's demonstrations in iraq trade has to be started again between syria and iraq syria and jordan lebanon and yes desired to squeeze syria is really counterproductive today. a truce appears to be holding on both sides of the israeli gaza border a deal was brokered following a series of violent confrontations on friday israeli airstrikes and tank fire hit dozens of hamas targets after an israeli soldier was shot four palestinians were killed and at least one hundred twenty others were wounded stephanie decker reports . hamas is military wing because some brigades are burying their dead

three of their members were killed on friday afternoon israel struck various ham ass monitoring posts along the border soon after an israeli soldier was shot from gaza he later died of his wounds sixty sites belonging to ham ass were attacked by israeli forces late into the night a few rockets were fired from gaza in response and a cease fire was announced hours later it's the second ceasefire in a week i don't think. it would last for a long time i think it's better for us. unfortunately we will have. to through this or. after that we'll have. many problems over the. people in. the pattern of escalation ceasefire and elation ceasefire between israel and hamas well i continue

on the long term plan to leave a good situation for the people here almost two people who are living under this blockade and everyone says the same thing how impossible life has become here. i can't afford anything to work as a tailor in israel before the blockade i made around a thousand three hundred dollars a month of the moment i can't even make three hundred dollars a month exchanging money and work two shifts a day morning and night ma that's the meaning of humanity.

i would say not make means return return to gaza return to palestine this is the main boat of the freedom flotilla which is about to be sail into what's gaza it's basically a fishing boat from norway that's been transformed for this trip and the people of the coalition of the freedom flotilla coalition they are aiming to reach gaza and give this fishing boat as a gift to the fisherman in gaza with me here is

a lane she is the representative of the coalition on the allowed boat so far i know you have been involved in the coalition for many many years and this is the first time you are traveling on the boat tours of gaza what can you tell me about your feelings well you know we're doing this to. send a message of solidarity and hope with the palestinians in gaza but our aim is actually to lift the blockade so we have made along the way we stopped in many ports in our objective is to raise awareness and to make people feel pressure on their governments to stop being complexes with the crimes that israel commits against humanity so basically the you keep doing this trips even though the final destination is not guaranteed why you keep trying. exactly the same thing that i just said because we want to lift the blockade the blockade will

not be lifted by just one boat getting to gaza the blockade will be lifted if enough international pressure if enough sanctions a put on israel to change its policy all right one last question on a personal note i know that you are an israeli citizen and you are takin this trip in solidarity with the palestinian people in the wake of the palestinian especially the palestinian people in the gaza strip do you have a message to your fellow israelis yes we know that israel has just passed a new law to national. i don't know the jewish. state whatever and i really feel ashamed disgusted by this because i i think sees another sign of us dehumanizing all people who are not jewish but especially the palestinians and i think we lose our own humanity by doing so so my message to these rallies is stop while you still can too you know to save your own souls

basically we cannot keep living there we have to leave together with our neighbors and incident israeli and as a human being he's my obligation to make this crime so thank you very much live together as human beings this is the message of one of the main participants in the freedom flotilla coalition this year the group that rescues migrants from the mediterranean sea is planning to file a manslaughter complaint against libya's coast guard pro active open arms says that a woman.
