or how how does. and how perceptions have changed of this former liberation movement turned government you think is appropriate for a man who went to prison for defrauding volman corruption to run your party's work on corruption that he has some goes head to head with to. be it's not exactly the we. and i when there's a problem in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera turkey's president treasure has dismissed a proposal for a cease fire in northeastern syria and sustain the operation will continue until

his country's objectives have been to change this comes as the u.s. prepares to send a high level delegation to ankara and ending turkey's operation or russian forces are now moving towards northern syria in an effort to fill the security void left behind by american troops meanwhile u.s. politicians have introduced a resolution opposing president trump decision to pull troops out of syria house speaker nancy pelosi says the bill will also call for stronger sanctions against her. we would have a bipartisan bill to oppose the president's decision to terribly dangerous decision and that we would have legislation with strong sanctions and it against turkey of the president gave the green light to turkey to go in and commit this humanitarian disaster or to the kurds making us an untrustworthy ally and then had a wet noodle for. his sanctions which we just were not up to the task. now

protests over a spanish court sentencing 9 caught on independence lead us to jail have continued for a 2nd day thousands of separatists clashed with police in boston more into the act than government in catalonia condemned the demonstrations saying it's a move to guarantee security in the region so when the guy you go has more from barcelona. nights these violent protests have been continuing right in the city center of barcelona. of the busiest. the city center even though the larger crowd dispersed into smaller groups that they've continued certain actions such as setting alight garbage containers and. such as bottles at the police the police have returned in kind by trying to disperse many of them as possible even riot police or regional police force with us the national police here as well but this kind of tension was really surprising because of

course there had been calls for a campaign of civil disobedience even from the government as well as some of the civil society leaders as well the problem is that they have to end violence there not as peaceful perhaps as people had intended them to and this looks set to continue for the rest of the week and it will be culminating on friday with a general strike. then of prats are accusing the trumpet ministration of a stone wall in the investigation into whether the president should be impeached vice president mike pence triumph lawyer rudy giuliani and the white house are refusing to submit documents to the inquiry a senior state department official in charge of ukraine policy has become the latest to testify before the house committees the head of the house intelligence committee adam schiff says evidence of obstruction of congress continues to mount. we are running into what we expected in one aspect and that is a complete effort by the administration to stonewall. today is long

past due the date when the state department was subpoenaed to provide documents but the state department has thus far refused and were it not for the fact that at least some witnesses have given us documents we would not know that there is a paper record of efforts to condition this meeting and perhaps condition military support itself on these political investigations donald trump wanted and the 1st democratic debate send that impeachment inquiry is under way in the u.s. state of ohio the 12 candidates the debating issues such as health care and taxes and therefore the televised debate is a battleground state that's backed the winner of the presidential vote for decades and the e.u. and the u.k. have been holding last ditch talks to work out a break sit down with it can be discussed and they have a summit in brussels on thursday but negotiation michelle bania says there is still

potential for a day of despite the obstacles bush in effect to leave the e.u. on october the 35th well those are the headlines on al-jazeera trafficking is coming up next. antiquities trafficking is one of the most profitable illegal trades in the world estimated to be worth several $1000000000.00 a year it ranks off to illegal arms and drugs precious objects plundered or discovered in clandestine excavations find their way onto the official market into museums and galleries. the main victims the pillage nations

are now demanding the return of their stolen treasures for a long time these demands for ignored. but systematic ransacking of heritage sites meticulously staged by the islamic state of iraq and the levant isis has caused a global outcry and has reopened the debate with changing public opinion efforts to halt the trafficking have gained a new urgency but are nations prepared to act from berlin to beijing from rome to the syrian border an investigation into trafficking that's at the heart of an economic cultural and diplomatic war.

paris february 2009 crowds flocked to the grown palace to admire the treasures contained in the private collection of eve sun the home and pierre ballsy one of the most prestigious in the world a few days later these precious works were to be auctioned off by christie's dozens of masterpieces would be changing hands including these 218th century bronze heads a rat and a rabbit which had once been housed in the imperial palace in beijing their sale sparked an uproar in china. was was. was it ah. ah ah ah. but the present owner doesn't agree. that issue has to be a new palate it really is there is there. own marshall

shake a fellow when one is of your own book will be today cryptic on that lake it actually . except that these heads were stolen back in the 19th century it was an 860 june the 2nd opium war when french and british troops plundered the forbidden city and ransacked the summer palace. still today the destruction and faffed are a deep scar for the chinese people. beyond their aesthetic value the bronze heads are considered as priceless items of chinese heritage. should p.r. bags in their former return. to see our future in a way to raise only paid you to defend i can't do it as she knew our surveys it the

a combined price of 28000000 euros the conclusive bids came from a chinese businessman who asked to remain anonymous but 5 days after the sale the mysterious bio revealed his identity at a press conference in beijing and his announcement was more than unexpected. ways. well as a city in a city that's already been well. dallas it still can but it will hit it out. as the buyer refused to pay for the objects pillage from his country the big was cancelled and the 2 bronzes were returned to p.r. back. in china people continued to demand the restitution a demand which took on political dimensions beijing viewed it as a way to exercise a national humiliation but also to confirm its newfound international clout the 2

bronzes in the sun the home begs a collection had become symbols of the plundering of their country by the west for christie's it was urgent to calm things down with the chinese in 2030 the owner of christie's file swapping or himself sent emissaries to directly negotiate the purchase of the bronzes with. was would be agreed we could see a near. from france where pino asked this it had to be up or here or there. she sees it for belize shores. officially from swapping no returned the heads to beijing out of friendship for the people of china but that wasn't all a few weeks after the return of the bronzes in the presence of the french businessman the chinese government finally gave christie's permission to operate in the country and exchange as p.r.

described it. the much publicized case of the summer palace bronzes is far from unique more and more pillaged countries are demanding the return of their cultural assets the trophies of the renowned museums of the western world. pillaged. trees have a legal tool to negotiate for the return of their stolen treasures the 970 unesco convention signed during the era of decolonization imposes on all nations to return objects obtained illegally. in recent years the pressure on renowned museums has intensified. the pergamon museum the most visited in berlin is obliged to know the origins of its collections. you start to understand that what you have here is not

just archaeological object but it's part of the cultural heritage of the region or of these countries and at that point you realize you're talking about a political dimension or a cultural political dimension as a director i cannot say i don't know when somebody asked me how did your collection actually come into being so my responsibility as director of this museum is to know everything about the objects. well the key documents in this file the ones that tell us basically that it was ok to take up the objects and this we have to do for everything and i'm considering that we have roughly 500000 objects you know that this is. a huge task ahead for us something that has to be done over decades really 500000 objects all and so that's an ongoing process it will take

until i'm retiring but the important thing is somebody is doing it every day because you have to have a was i was that is said to have made a new going to close the critics on the present is that extolled was said you know i said that is ideologue a big spy example in jest musicland missile never going off in a divorce exacta mad world yeah. the professor. and. all the friends you see here have been pretty good. and we wouldn't be acquiring stuff anymore the pergamon stopped acquiring in the 1930 s. 40 years before the signing of the unesco convention which isn't retroactive this is. so the museum's collection is seemingly protected from demands for restitution but that's not the opinion in turkey specially in the city of god tep young guys and why they should come. here mr.

dolan that we don't at all my. name is that down on that was. the man i should when there was a debate the internet. and he said and then say and then i said and as many people in this is from this is now you know that i've had. this black list includes objects on show in the british museum in london but also in the pentagon in berlin although they were all acquired before 970 turkey still wants them back. it's not a question of museums anymore because it's a request of the state of turkey. they also are in the process of overcoming. colonial attitudes towards cultural heritage and

in this process they have started to realize that. countries in the west have not always been upfront about their practices of acquiring collections begin to do yeah savation. there is. a palooka. they can. do given busy i'm. busy you know gunson shante can play in kent and then just begin to d.l. solution to the visual a set we've been engaged in in on money and then i made. an agenda to shoot it in this new they are musing in their zen correlation don't know . the pillagers happened over a century ago but turkey isn't ready to forget. like china and italy turkey has made the restitution of its treasures a political priority. within its culture ministry the turkish government has set up

a special restitution unit. 40 or so lawsuits have already been won resulting in the return of over 4000 objects. one of the special units successes is the restitution of this music of orpheus stolen in the $950.00 s. then purchased by the dallas museum of art after several years of legal wrangling the museum was obliged to return it. while village nations like turkey have a legal framework to demand reparations this isn't the case in the private sector where only the market rules. in this antique shop window how many artifacts have a perfectly established origin in many cases it's practically impossible to verify

. does the private antiquities market have its own rules immune to international legislation you know asco had attempted to extend its 970 convention to better control private transactions a new convention adopted in 1905 the convention on stolen or illegally exported cultural objects obliges sellers to prove the legal origin of an artifact it also obliges buyers to demand proof but although the original unesco convention is recognized by $113.00 nations only 37 party states have committed to the united wired convention.

so the market is winning thriving with its own often shady rules chadian as embodied by the freeport system one of the main thoroughfares of art market trafficking. the best known are here in geneva but the exist throughout the world free ports were originally special economic zones which stocked in transit merchandise to reduce or avoid customs duties are dealers were soon renting space in these huge warehouses to discreetly store artifacts by allowing people to store all kinds of objects without the slightest control free ports have long been considered as a hub of antiquities trafficking it's estimated there are over a 1000000 works deposited here more than twice the number contained in the movie. this swiss establishment guarantees its clients 100 percent confidentiality its

high security site is protected from theft but also from prying eyes artifacts can be stored safely here for years sit behind as up a problem on the. left you. know i mean he can join on would you defend or not understood it was in zone should one image with one on source fish out when you're at the t.v. are would order to keep the tax. no taxation an appealing advantage for our dealers while the works remain inside a free port they can be sold and bought without being subjected to any kind of tax customs duties are only paid once when our work definitively leaves the freeport a perfectly legal tax haven right in the heart of europe.

these facilities explain why the gallery phoenix keeps most of its merchandise in free ports and the showcases only a small part of the collection is displayed the gallery belongs to tom one of the biggest antiquities dealers in the world. in 2010 customs discovered in alley toms warehouse in the freeport of geneva this is 2nd century roman sarcophagus since then it has been the center of a complex legal battle. the stock of. tools will awful you know all over to prevent thank are up on love on do i live on this on the on it off and off on dr to for that's not hope you bleak put on your own music. 35 a day and don't. know jane i'll come problem.

fesses said proposition to deny assume she was you don't you have a clue jake do say that i just don't know a dip or perform a shop will add me read of get this used extraordinaire in p.s. the met tom cat don't get those the large i met countdown do. in their next room cities used to get exam play and good news all morning don't say i'm a modest shock silliman of a more haste to steal from them what their love the killed. near 0 lead to could not their cell phone ipanema shown sitting success on the course that the president still don't know haven't. really hit me on the pond on the year . mariette kids who are out there here yes just the most ridiculous who belong

on get heated this is sack of hours elapsed hasta documentation please on c.n.n. live it equivalence in more in lake clare early in this. heavy faced with doubts over the objects origin the sale was finally cancelled as the so called because it was probably looted in turkey swiss authorities decided to allow it ankara let your idea for me do cool let your key sit there. but of course if you. impose it do i did it go see or jerky man who thought they did agree. to set this exposed as short as it called the steam percent last year to put it in for you so it does i confess keep as to the tumble blues don't. all of a on all let them pull of the store they object with

a document live only the wrong to the club they are allowed one or both own them. except that after being restored in london this or coffee because didn't return to geneva until 2009 so the turkish lawyer heading the case believes it comes under the new swiss law which demands every approachable origins for all works of art imported after 2005 in september 2015 swiss justice finally ordered the repatriation of the 2nd office to turkey but tom continues to claim ownership based on a certificate delivered by the company art loss register or for years that if you get a positive early. book of us by that suit the glare is that if it outlaws netizens these or cope what is a really really classic may see. this late hour of you are getting. a sucky sucky sucky

do to a for me. what is an art loss register certificate the precious open sesame of the art market a document which states that an object wasn't stolen. founded in london 25 years ago is a private information service with over $400000.00 listed objects art loss register who owns the largest database of stolen artifacts in the world for a fee any buyer or seller can ask art loss register to verify that a piece is not listed on its database. these registrations. could also be registrations from a museum just in case items ever started on the register them on the database just in case they show off for sale somewhere else and i saw this examples of the theft from the national museum of iraq in 2003 in 2004.

and what was amazing is they were very careful and you can tell it was well because they went into the basement once they'd stolen everything and they destroyed all the documentation for the objects so that people would know what had been stolen unfortunately the major objects have been recorded elsewhere. they can see actually the different words that we've entered just to help bring that up so here they were thrown they were put. braided have something like that and. in the case of the baghdad museum an inventor really existed so stolen objects could be captured on to the database but in war zones very few museums keep precise invent a reason and there is no way that objects discovered during illegal digs will ever be listed obviously that's incredibly difficult when you're looking it lucido

logical material that has been looted out of the ground if it's taken out of the ground then potentially the only people that even know of its existence of the people dug it out. and yet this certificate is widely used on the antiquities market as is the case tom's suck office. i wish i had a clue powers. i would say. it's we've always been very clear about what our certificates are for and they state very clearly that an item is not in our database and it's not being registered with us but that not every theft or loss or looting event is registered with us so it's not complete. the art loss register certificate nonetheless remains the main document

a supplied by a seller to prove his or her good faith a precious certificate which can multiply the price of an object by 10 but why is this as provided by a private company and not by a public body at least on a european level changes in national laws you go across i'm just a nation states in the make it very difficult to resolve issues relating to stolen art in particular because suddenly limitation periods change principles of acquiring good title change is something that people take advantage of to get around the system.

in 1982 egypt and israel built on that drivel waged between the neighboring communities the sinai and gaza. al-jazeera well it's stories from those who are in the night hold the division. sinai and the war. on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks into the market started peacefully. is taken i don't want to with detail coverage. not be having 110 meters which is so deep that only have 15 minutes on the seabed from around the world the remains of may never be found if they still exist yet his legacy lives on. they say to

really know someone he must walk a mile in their shoes. follow in their footsteps as they forge their way in the world. al-jazeera shares these personal journey. inspiring stories of people persevering on their chosen path. with news documentaries. and ominous a prominent doha with the headlines on al-jazeera turkey's president regift out of the law and has dismissed a proposal for a cease fire in northeast and syria and sister and the operation will continue

until its country's objectives have been achieved this comes as the u.s. prepares to send a high level delegation to ankara and ending the operation meanwhile u.s. politicians have introduced a resolution opposing president trump's decision to pull troops out of syria house speaker nancy pelosi says the bill will also call for a stronger sanctions against her. we would have a bipartisan bill to oppose the president's decision sheesh terribly dangerous decision and that we would have legislation with strong sanctions in it against turkey of the president gave a dream like to turkey to go in and commit this humanitarian disaster or do the kurds making us an untrustworthy ally and then had a wet noodle for. his sanctions which they just were not up to the task of protests over a spanish court sentencing mind cattle on independence leaders to jail have continued for a 2nd day thousands of separatists clashed with police in barcelona the acting

an ambush on monday around 80 soldiers have an army helicopter have been dispatched to find the perpetrators those are the headlines on al jazeera trafficking continues next thank you for watching.

and. with the absence of common legislation and with skyrocketing prices trafficking has taken on industrial proportions. that it will be in the majority they have been initially very good but there is an intellect there this blows even i didn't meet them look it up but. come and join us and repeat this story to us a lot don't be surprised at the 2nd jack that out of the 2nd at the argument and in the race at the bus if you know if you're gentle tell him you don't know is that the teacher there that us these players are gathered to complain that.

today looters have direct access to the market all they need to do is post their object online where it can be sold anonymously in recent years the number of websites selling archaeological artifacts has increased or 100 fold on one of them we found this clay nail probably from a rock officially this type of object has been banned from sale since 2004 but on these platforms no one cares about origin export licenses or legal documents it's the final stage of what has become global trafficking. believed to be the 3rd highest illegal trade in the world antiquities trafficking was rarely in the public eye and. yes it has gone unnoticed for years but footage of destruction by the islamic state of iraq and the levant isis has

caused a major international commotion. on any i being here oh me me me me me me letting. you who. music did tweet music. the music. did this to so on you hike you. see and. i gather. me and. the talk of. the age of the tweet. i'll produce song battle of the. i don't going to come i said petition that

c'mon they're demented he said hugh. the stage destruction by eisel hides another reality much harder to measure mass looting. since its founding has been suspected of part financing its activities through antiquities trafficking. see poor could it a least 6 now and again my goodness which i should not stay. in created and the 2 security that no 3 said maddon it took until it is like you think that. this was a key subject at a press conference to present the new red list published by i called the international council of museums for 15 years i come has been publishing lists of rare objects from various countries which threatened to turn up on the international art market this time it concerned antiquities from iraq and syria

suspected of financing eisel operations as proof that the subject is being taken seriously several international figures attended the meeting including richard stengel representing the us government who would launch the offensive or you might be just go and essentially has to. be department. also why. are you going to. good evening i'm delighted to be here. what we've seen over the last year is i saw as weaponization of information and the cultural destruction that they're practicing is the weaponization culture so this is a destruction of history and destruction of culture and the destruction of human beings thousands of human beings at the risk of being too graphic i would say that

burying or selling an artifact is where finance is the beheadings of muslims in the middle east. don't sell don't act one quick solution. you know by now selling is a very good slogan it's obviously impossible to completely police it and to be certain about it. one of the things that we've seen is that isolates using existing criminal markets that have existed over 102030 years in the region or using those people as middlemen to finance their operations. but how do we know what exactly is going on in the field absa the association for the protection of syrian archaeology has been recording cases of plundering in syria the association based in strasbourg

and founded in 2011 at the outbreak of the country's civil war is headed by syrian archaeologist. according to information gathered by hobson eisel isn't the only armed group plundering sites in syria all the actors in the conflict are to blame. li military. will act here in moscow military talks here youngster. or you dno. more active. an example. but. this is the most complex here like you see on the dodge. city in many of the many people. ask yourself. 6. asiri. what's the extent of this trafficking and how do the local

networks that supply it operate to find the answers you need to go into the field most makes regular visits to turkey. to meet other members of his association. early in the war his correspondence could easily cross the turkish syrian border but turkey recently closed entry into its territory. to simulate the stock of. the c.e.o. but they are. not the sessions on the piece they did that you. push it up to the other. we see you. got to get it kitty don't use it on the whole case for to increase never we do you know his lawsuit was the best able to come up it will only define. little easy but look what

a mitt romney job to sit in a semi auto citigroup do if they sneak into. the. my limited by starting a chip on all my most new vanishing point book at home peers who keep it down to people being only. did not know me. see it can't have it in this world i don't why did you speak. nobody. should have been meant for levied in his tone on those he proved also why he personally am if not to respond it's there you're. going to continue to contact

. b.s. guy it's full of a soul in more young. people. not so long ago it was still possible to cross the border and large quantities of merchandise alive here in gaza and tep 60 kilometers from the syrian border. according to several sources this turkish city is a hub for the trafficking of objects plundered by isis. and. the. show. doesn't have is full of antiquities stores in one window check most sports what he thinks artifacts

smuggled in from syria. before. the start. well you can then stop the pollution i'm ashley initials as you're seriously seriously. you know a little bit. sensitive and there's a particular sound with music in the in the chemistry happens to resume so if you were to sit through the normal most if you see a missive at the citadel there. syria then the south this. shouldn't. this year

a lot of the yellow new york going a little bit there was another the one on the muslim american ramadan i mean there are not and they are. not going to be all of them gone that is ron marz image i like to get that someone almost. made it about it but it gives them with a paltry. amount a small group. called one of these objects as you sample if not for you know visual if what. can rationally. put me want to go people peace for sure because it would be pretty full essentially mean obviously peña nieto live. in oregon a. city react to. the. last minute they've always. found kitty i think in norman i

sit and eat some part of many a very dizzy. or blanket child they tell me a good day i make soup. and a community. hobbs to secure him keep on a lot then buy it if you can actually him but not us if you cannot be. the critics any male input their ak is no santa claus nass send their thought that the sun don't all agree and pleased of course. on the lead the german just sang a bad. day. yeah the cossack of their heritage i cannot sit at the back it was deuces should say. it's no longer possible to publicly sell all purchase an archaeological object

without legal documented proof of origin. the pressure on private collectors has increased. any of their acquisitions can be examined at any time. now for. more on the server. is that one. reporters who. were going on when you said is that one also don't know what having your. emotional these are pretty careful you are going to gather up the sources say 40 killing anybody who says he did this legal or. illegal question the clues each year and a commitment to case like you are a place group is cool going to see if i move knowing they sneak into the pos rules

who are the p.f. we actually did and what i think that it looks even nor. there. some don't say on excepting of course of the. will to ski or. off or as who they will forces you to get you fired because if they pull on somebody creating their own is a such a policy matter. because of the economy weighing on them. their funding the talk all but it was our. laws to do quite a while before and since he will probably do or is offered the. loser pool garble rules that he will see the dice roll is across when ya think. of divorcing it in a news or a repressed moment when yalit in the shura. or the full fuel or me

a gal or the little girl or a school where. after an 8 hour search the customs officers seized $123.00 pieces archaeologists have estimated the value of the collection at $95000.00 euros the collector will be questioned further the customs offices is facing 3 years in jail. she got it took it as. if you were there if you. know what. the able to call in your order if and most if it. is a hippo she said. they got to the shop. as european dealers and collectors are subjected to a growing number of controls they now represent only a small part of the international antiquities market far behind the chinese

a new category of collector has appeared every year in europe they flock to special . the ocean's ready to spend fortunes to buy back their national heritage. a spending spree that has seen prices skyrocket and guarantee. that you don't get a. very good although. i see steve as i suppose. it is a month assume the peak if of all events don't and the taliban for the. meat puppet who will sell tonnes of so you may appreciate one of these example. he's home of a gentleman the needy leaky belonged to my decades mino whole thing can go on bust like usual police hold on the media all meals and so me to demean you and all.

guess is still in your better bunch you know as right barry had a better way it coming up afternoon on a jet sheen that's it i know is it you don't got boy serious though about a young she. left this is so much elated don't pee on me you saw her soft august 2nd felt it it did. yeah. so i say good to do or not was good put that question right on about him. as a present dog don't tell and this only present blocked on. don't. want to pursue b.d. they did that slip up with their except they didn't know shit defense of any of so so i began. the reason bernard gomez is sure he'll find a nato's prepared to buy this chinese seal is because wealthy chinese buyers are willing to invest fortunes in highly symbolic assets.

these assets include a good number of plundered national treasures objects with a high financial and ideological value. purchases are driven by a strong patrie arctic feeling and encouraged by the state. of. your hundreds. if a town tour and. then shut down obama will be one of the hot. hot to go. home being sure the. harleigh. this is believes that those who wish to become cultured should invest in safeguarding national heritage she has even founded an association which aims to repatriate historical masterpieces through any means.

if. records see the. so much he that soil pressure you didn't feed how shitty that means yet that this is your father said that all he could see him truly that jennifer taiyo show that evil. gomez regularly visits mrs barnes home and headquarters to collect the funds necessary for buying back plundered chinese works that are sold in europe i am a foreigner working in china since long time i understood that when there isn't a question of really when. there is no beyond of china's but only one voice it's a national really it belongs to our national and everybody sings the same things you know is very different than our country's. german soldiers.

but what you're there to hear the hate the bullshit you do it or the. bears are coming out. just to wash out and up and down. toward the sound and about our torso. so small credo jail though jennifer usher she we are there fit ha ha. and then a washing. machine that soldier she is out of. the message got across in the west 2 plundered artifacts must be returned to china otherwise sooner or later you will be held accountable former president of the french union of antique dealers christiane did he personally paid the price in the late 1990 s. he bought a collection of chinese gold plates the for selling part of it to french businessman

is wrong swapping no for 1000000 euros later the 2 men donated the plates to the queen may lose him in paris when. one of the most welcome again yearly plissken a few years after their donation the chinese announced that the plates had been looted and beijing demanded the repatriation in 2007 the 1st lawsuit was filed but not pursued 80 years on did he receive a phone call from the french culture ministry is old you. see news or you'll shoot please of g.t.p. new no. don't sit if they don't also send you blue eyed new laden as you need for this and that you'll be doing it. but only real name law accomplices. ok. so christian did cancelled his donation to the green

a museum and flew to china to return the plates to the authorities the other generous patron of the arts francoise pino would return his plates in person to the chinese ambassador in paris a month before the official visit to beijing by french foreign minister. a model for cultural diplomacy. the dawn. dani babb. were. also but. the dead he says on t.v. in film it is yours she of a vicious if it was a little less all fed to the needy bears the i pray you had to deal guess your loss
