but a $100.00 so we will mention if you have 10 people. that will. be able to take that step down. a lot of money man. at the moment the. shisha is an ngo that investigates allegations of exploitation of children in orphanages and it's one of the few places where volunteers can voice their concerns. i know from. ehrenstein mob working on a case about an orphanage called the children's umbrella center organization or cuckoo brought to them by former volunteers. so these are the e-mail complaints that we did get from the volunteers really clearly stated what their concerns were . the abuse the children missing the director was openly saying that he did want to adopt the children out for a price about $10000.00 which is which is extremely concerning for as well the

deduction is illegal income. there are allegations of physical abuse or food standards so the kids were looking hungry it was open sewage the boys were sleeping and smaller roof in the roof is leaking so this place is getting international volunteers going is ations do you know who these organizations are well suited rosa came forward and were volunteering really consciously brought and this is dating back to the literally one pretty much one year ago. she showed took the allegations to the competent government to send in their exam and in november 2011 and january 2012. has been inspected triste by the ministry of social affairs and they found the conditions step holding him back very badly but they were close people and it's down if it doesn't stop complying with the minimum standards. to avoid devising

suspicions we go in on the cover as volunteers wearing hidden cameras. are low. and they are. well we are greeted by sin itself the orphanages tirade rather than the letter a yesterday. and though that. some are seen it is king for us to start teaching straight away bopara you can bet in the market bob well i'm up one let out a good thing i have never done any teaching yeah and i've been told you that you're going to have to do the same for me as i have the ball and you can waste time teasing. you. having simply walked off the street we are now teaching an english class then there is a seemingly endless amount of play time. many of the children are hyperactive and demand constant attention. to detail the streets how many of

the many times i was thinking. about it he said think out of this mess there is no longer. the kids of color nothing to do it and she should just point out. when seen it returns he shows us the children's rooms only half of the beds have mattresses on the side look so moved. by dolly and i don't know what is the metal these other conditions the government inspectors asked him to improve and if that was the truth is out now render her income not that right neil white focus was there was a lot of the horror that you have frankly they have had to do is a lot of people. in the middle of the food we also see the open sewer report to see sure. there are accusations that cynic uses the children's misery to generate

donations whether or not this is truth he certainly doesn't seem to make any effort to meet the government's minimum standards. before we leave sin a tries to get money out of us again how bad it was all kinds you have every day. i am really down and found out it was a man there and something. he called and said i was. ready half an hour sometimes i go here i am on the right. things a cuckoo up bad. but in the evening we learned that they can get even worse. yes become a target put child sex offenders and one to come investigate such cases for an n.c.o. called x. for his own home and. he's deeply concerned that some volunteer placement

organizations fail to ask volunteers to undergo criminal record checks this is a very high use for a movie in children who are living in the office. this guy you know his american guys and he came to come boyer through watching him brought here would in no penetrate hospital it was shocking this man dr james d'agostino had originally come to come both yes frugal in tearing with projects abroad and at a time here also brought 3 out of the boys and one of the elderly in the body read to run to sleep and according to the statement from the boy he appears the boy on multiple occasions in another case a british paedophile nick griffon had opened his very own orphanage and abused boys then. both men were found guilty and comes out in courts and sentenced to jail terms of 4 and 2 years respectively we. returned to cuckoo to follow up on the

single most serious allegation that some of the children have gone missing from the orphanage. the stabbing at me to our surprise a dutchman has arrived. here with us and also the same thing really say. the house from your face other people who are all those children were taken as a has that part. of their sick so far. they feel that wherever we turn we keep hearing about projects abroad to our amazement he tells us projects abroad never asked him for a criminal background check which he would have had to agree to under dutch law. when we go looking for direct as soon as we find him at the back of man. but. we want to test how serious he is about protecting his orphans by asking him if we

can remove some of the children. from running. for everyone's safety we've asked the social worker to join us we tell sinnett she's a friend and interpreter we wonder. did this afternoon to see if we can take some of the kids to have a little toy or. a plump and think how many king of a 100 or maybe you can get up i've seen it is actually getting us to choose between the children. and minutes later with full of them. never once have we been asked for identification. this is actually totally crazy ciena just allowed us to pick up 4 kids from his orphanage they now gone out and we could just drive off with them. we knew from seizures investigations that the children are from the north east of the country but the paperwork at the. the orphanage was fabricated and their birth

parents could not be traced. for years. this sad reality is that even if the government would come to the rescue of these children they could never be reunited with their families. during our time income boda we have heard a lot about projects abroad now it was time to find out more. projects abroad had a turnover of over $24000000.00 u.s. dollars in 2010 that made over $3000000.00 u.s. dollars profit and paid a dividend of $1000000.00 to the to direct us i asked projects abroad why they continue sending them wasn't tears into orphanages that are so clearly failing the children and why they're putting children at risk by not asking all their volunteers for criminal background checks the company declines an on camera

interview but tells us in writing that coup receives $50.00 per month for everybody until they say that even if the allegations against cuckoo were correct it would be better for the children in the orphanage to have better volunteers on the ground they also claim that since 2010 they do criminal background checks on the over thirty's and that for those younger they require a written reference from a school college unnamed referee. when we put our allegations to sin had the director of cuckoo he denied them all. most volunteers decide on visiting come boda with nothing but good intentions and until things improve the country and its people are said to benefit from sharing qualified skills. but most volunteers also arrive by an increasingly commercial system and before leaving home it's worth investigating who really stands to profit from their presence.

cambodia's often business a film which played a major pass in increasing the understanding of the potential dangers of volunteerism well i'm very pleased to say that we're joined here in the studio by the filmmaker herself julia rufus lovely to see you giuliana you were one of the 1st people to report on this internationally how did you even come across a story like this i'm actually quite interested in psychology and i was attending a conference on trauma and it was a global conference and there was a psychologist sociologist from cambodia and she'd been working on that issue because a lot of the children were damaged psychologically and she told me about it and i thought it was astounding that this really wasn't an issue that was known about. tell us about the children he met there 1st of all we use the word orphans are they all technically what we would believe to be orphans yeah i mean that was really the 1st thing that i was interested in the vast majority of the children in these

so-called orphanages actually do have parents and they there are people who go around and who effectively recruit these children they say to the parents that the children are going to get great education that they'll be in touch with lots of best westerners and the parens allow them allow these recruiters to take the children and then they get put into these again often ages and effectively some of these orphanages are a money making machine and do the children actually get to see the benefits of any of that money or a lot of the children really damage their damage firstly because they're being taken away from their parents and then secondly a lot of them and you can actually see that in our film they have what is called an attachment disorder so that they continuously get attached to a new person a new volunteer plays with them show us them with affection and then leaves very quickly i'm trying to imagine. what what you went through in that actually i know

it's about the children but i mean that's a that's a very emotional things ago as for where this story really got me is when we tried to take some of the children out for a day out and what we tried to demonstrate is really the complete neglect of care that it was just he was just allowed to do it this is something you could be anyone because we're good actually it's a country that has a well known problem with child abuse especially paedophilia that is foreigners foreign tourists for so-called tourists again coming in and abusing children so the idea that we could take these children out without any supervision was quite astounding and that is really the thing that hit me i was so focused on will this happen can we take the kids out that when we finally said with these kids in the car it was actually quite emotional because we had this sense of the driving of with them in a car and we could have done absolutely anything to these kids and when you did

take the children out of the orphanage you had a social worker with you and yeah you can actually see in the film and the social worker she was there for 2 reasons firstly to protect the children to make sure that they're safe and comfortable and she helped translate but secondly it was also to actually protect us because we were aware that we were making what could be a very controversial film and we were worried about future allegation accusing us to have done something incorrect with the children so she was there also to make sure that we were safe in that sense and what's happened since what as far as tightening up the laws. we can talk about the government but what about the actual images themselves are they still operation like this yeah there were actually quite a few responses to this so firstly on an international level the awareness has really grown so astray i would say is as a country a leading example because they have actually made the trafficking of children into often. ages illegal they've they're describing it as

a modern form of slavery and so that's the international response then income budgets self the authorities have reacted to some degree they've shut down some of the orphanages and they've worked with international agencies like the u.n. and and also international organizations to close these orphanages down and and actively reunite the children from orphanages with the families where possible but also and this was particularly important to me some of the companies that run voluntourism schemes have to cite it to abandon the sending of untrained wall and tears into orphanages gillian it's been fascinating talking to you really great thanks for coming in thank you for having me. and projects abroad the company which you saw in that film say they no longer work in orphanages they say they now work with community based projects which means working with children still living at home well that is it for this edition of rewind to check us out online at

reach of those seeking to buy the most toxic substance a little with. many invisible threats on al-jazeera. is no one way of telling the story a key thing is to write and to be respectful best our desire is great to get to know the person for me to. this is al-jazeera. and i'm the star of the attain this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes saudi arabia cuts oil output by nearly harf following drone attacks from key oil facilities while the u.s. claims iran for the drone attacks on saudi aramco despite claims of responsibility

by yemen's truthy rebels. efforts to rehire him hundreds of people displaced after hurricane dorian hit the bahamas. and after 6 days at sea dozens of african migrants leave their. yes q ship to safety and actually. now u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is accusing iran of direct involvement in saturday's drone attacks on some of saudi arabia's most important oil facilities he tweeted to saying tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on saudi arabia while rouhani and zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy and made all the calls for deescalation iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply there is no evidence the attacks came from yemen but who think rebels say they are behind the attacks on

2 saudi plants including the world's largest petroleum processing facility and add cake and an oil field in a court case and that's forced riyadh to temporarily scale back oil production by around 50 percent earlier u.s. president donald trump spoke to saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound not condemning the strike and saying he would guarantee saudi security trump is calling it an attack on the global economy our correspondent or some a binge of aid begins our coverage. the world's largest oil processing facility went up in flames after a drone attack amateur videos captured the fire and smoke at saudi aramco is uptake unit it was targeted by drones belonging to yemen's rebels with the capacity to process nearly 7000000 barrels a day of great please a pivotal role in iraq because operations and the oil fields increase which produces a 1000000 barrels a day also came and be retired. state media carried a statement from the interior ministry and said the fires were brought under control saudi arabia has been leading

a coalition against the hutus in the war in yemen since 2015. the rebels say they want the world to see that they have a list of targets which they can hit in the kingdom look at some. attacks are our right and we warn the saudis that our targets will keep expanding we have the right to strike back in retaliation to the air strikes and the targeting of our civilians for the last 5 years saudi arabia accuses iran of backing the who these are charged tonight by the rebels some believe the saudi response to the drone attacks is going to be more of what's been happening during the war in yemen this would probably help them project their what they've been doing in yemen as something legitimate especially given the international report about the violations and about the at truscott is committed in yemen i think the saudis would continue or the thing that they've been doing over the last 4 years is bomb bomb bomb would he find his tactics have evolved in the last few years and their drone attacks have become more

frequent accurate and long range as conventional air defenses struggle against multiple small drones some see aerial attacks on oil facilities as a possible game changer in the conflict a drone like this can be assembled from $10.00 to $15000.00 or explosives this provides a unique opportunity to target the military and in this case it's also more concerning because you will want to target facilities that have a huge impact besides the physical damage the hoodies also seem to have time the attacks just a saudi aramco announced it is moving forward to sending a part of the state oil company the stock listing has been on again off again but attacks like these will not help investor confidence to bring in billions of dollars to diversify in the south the economy the prime minister has been historically accurate also. someone. yes saudi aramco is no ordinary company it's the engine of saudi arabia's economy

and a source of power for its rulers it's also the crown jewel of the saudi crown prince's ambitious plan to diversify the economy but with seemingly expanding strike capability as from the war in yemen this would give investors a moment to pause some of the job it is there. let's speak to our correspondent karen elizondo who joins us now live from washington d.c. gabriel i mean some very strong reaction from the white house and the state department now clearly pointing the finger. yeah we haven't heard directly from president donald trump on this matter on saturday but the white house as you mentioned did put out a statement confirming that he did speak to the crown prince of saudi arabia that a conversation where trump offered the full support of the white house and the united states saying that they support saudi arabia's self-defense and saying that this is attack on the global economy but really the key statement i think that we heard came from as you mentioned secretary of state mike pompei o who is probably

the biggest voice in the administration her right now when it comes to foreign policy other than donald trump clearly very strong statements late saturday afternoon as you mentioned he blamed iran directly saying as you said an unprecedented attack on the world's energy supply and saying there's no evidence the attack came from yemen but while pompei was pointing the finger at iran he didn't give any evidence at all or anyone else in washington on what evidence they have that this did come from iran to wait in the coming hours and perhaps days to see if the u.s. does release any sort of evidence that this attack did come directly from iran or not he also went on to say in his tweets pump aoe that iran will be held accountable for its aggression and he also said tehran is behind nearly $100.00 attacks on saudi arabia while rouhani and pretend to engage in diplomacy that's the tweet from secretary of state mike pompei of course referring to hasan rouhani the president of iran and if the foreign minister there so very strong statements from

my palm peo directly pointing the finger of blame at iran and even gay but is this likely is now bringing washington and riyadh even closer together and how might that play out in terms of both their rivalry is with iran. yeah without a doubt listen this is a relationship between united states and saudi arabia that goes back nearly 75 years and it's a relationship built on a lot of things but it comes down to really to oil and weapons the u.s. of course having a huge appetite and is. and need for saudi oil for decades now and saudi having and desire and need for buying military arms from the united states nearly one 5th of all military exports of arms from the united states go to what country that's countries saudi arabia one 5th of all of the u.s. exports of military equipment so what this does is the u.s. is really worried about 2 things in the region saudi arabia tickler oil number one

and then using saudi arabia as a counter to what they perceive the u.s. perceives as the iranian threat and this attack on this oil infrastructure in saudi arabia really plays into all of this year so this is only going to bring saudi arabia and the us closer together and it's also going to increase those 2 countries skepticism if you will of iran but again important to point out that pompei or the u.s. has not provided any evidence so far at least on any evidence that they have read being directly behind this attack so we have to see if that is indeed the case if they have something to ride on that in the coming hours or days. there for us in washington d.c. thank you for that gave the saudi led coalition is investigating the attacks and says it will take the necessary measures to safeguard national assets well that's already carried out at least 6 strikes targeting he military positions north of the rebel stronghold sada while a spokesman for the who says the rebels received intelligence and cooperation from

within saudi arabia for the attacks let's talk about this a little more with sami hamdi who is alive and london he's the editor in chief of international interest a current affairs analysis magazine with a particular focus on the middle east some of the who sees in that statement they say that these attacks were carried out in cooperation with the ruble people inside the kingdom talk us through who you think those could be. well we have to remember that the oil facilities facilities were in the east of surgery the east has a sizable shia population from that population emerges likes of limited number who was executed by saudi arabia on charges that he was cooperating with the iranians whether that's true or not is irrelevant in this what is relevant is that there is a significant sympathy with iran which share iran in the eastern province over the whole of these may be exaggerating how much support they actually had from the inside it remains to be seen whether it was support from the inside or proxies

iranian proxies on the iraqi border to the north we know that the drones of the who these have it is reported that they can reach over 900 miles or 1450 kilometers which would have been able to reach that eastern side of the province but we also have to remember that in the eastern province of saudi arabia there is an element of prosperity so it's hard to imagine. there have there being a sizable disgruntlement with that to the extent that they would cooperate with the who these so it remains to be seen just what exactly the support was sammy you say that he is maybe exaggerating and support what might be the reason for that he's to openly state that there's been cooperation within saudi is this about trying to exploit this already unstable situation especially in the eastern province as you say where both these facilities are. there is a big p.r. campaign going on here who sees a loving the idea that a small village should or a small group who are able to bring

a giant to their knees which are like saudi arabia the us is also playing the p.r. game into the reason why the us is talking more than saudi arabia with regards to this issue is because it was the us patriot missiles that failed to intercept the drones or the drones if they did indeed belong to the who these and also because the us wants to deny military agency to those who used to save been cements face by pointed to iran saudi arabia versus iran is 2 countries against one another been some men can accept that maybe iran attacked saudi arabia but it's harder for bin cement to accept that the militia in the ruthie's attacked saudi arabia and this is why we see the us so heavily invested with the who thinks they want to show that everybody is on their side they want to convince saudis and convince the public opinion and it may be true i'm not denying it but they want to convince people that they have allies everywhere they have allies in palestine in iraq in iran in within yemen and the like it's all part of this grand p.r. campaign that they've succeeded in doing which has transformed the human conflict from an issue of a coup against

a national dialogue to one in which the now of saudi arabia is much securing yemenis and the like so this is a big p.r. battle and this is why i think the who these are focusing on this particular angle sami were already saying retaliatory attacks by the saudis on he positions what kind of retaliation do you think we could see inside saudi arabia should we be expecting a crackdown especially on the shia population in eastern province. i think what's interesting is there actually room is coming about that it was the u.s. who informed the saudis that there was an attack taking place in the oil facilities and that iran is responsible for it implying that the saudis themselves are not quite sure what exactly happened they don't know where the drones came from they don't know who's involved in it they don't know what's going on moreover the saudis will be very disappointed this is probably the 2nd or 3rd time that the u.s. patriot missiles have failed to defend vital key oil facilities so mohammed said man has appeared as an issue with regards to this as to how to deal with it he will look 1st and foremost to the u.s. why.
