a swift answer from while. democracy has been there overturned by by the general show many people are now in their intention the constitution of the generals wrote. that they pledged just 48 hours ago to what we abide by has now been been overturned so it's it's nothing short of a range of. deeply disturbing and i think what's important is for the international community 1st and foremost to speak out very clearly very unequivocal this is unacceptable as being a widespread international condemnation of the koan the u.n. is calling it a serious blow to democratic reforms last the european union is calling for the outcome of recent elections to be respected. as i had lines more news on and as they're after people and power.

how was north korea one of the poorest countries in the world managed to evade u.n. sanctions and pay for its nuclear weapons program the answer is through a secretive government organization known as bureau $39.00 which obtains foreign exchange to sund kim jong un's regime in the 2nd of 2 investigations how insurance scams computer fraud and illegal arms sales keep the money road again.

north korea's like game of thrones but without the dragons. is society as capitalists and everything is geared to make sure that there's as much cash for kim as is possible. not a. shoot out war yes in that he is going to. $39.00 is involved in everything that makes money for north korea selling arms smuggling of drugs guns are free to go for us bills this is about hundreds of millions of dollars a year. and everything. you need

transfer the millions it makes to pyongyang the answer is simple through diplomatic channels who are. there to as far as you who is who you were annoyed with is it there's a way as well of the goods it is there a little bit of. it is true for her part of the subject was it in your own words or through word through that. north korea uses its worldwide network of embassies to ferry money back to pyongyang north korean officials enjoying diplomatic immunity carry the money in cash in their flight back each a simple but efficient way to ensure the cash flow doesn't stop. when those with embassies say differ that's a fun symbol to its often mainly serve the deal that the 2 things of this financial is also illegal mainly north korean diplomats are basically cask ears for kim.

they're into for the rest of this is where they may be drug lords and maybe weapons workers that they carry defer the password so they called us. right in the middle of the city lies the north korean embassy. the north koreans have been renting out one of the buildings as a hostel for terrorists they've been earning $38000.00 euros per month in rent. using embassy grounds for such activities is against diplomatic practices and contravenes un and e.u. sanctions. like any other country the main goal of the embassies is to serve the state in the north korean states priorities in particular so because sanctions are so comprehensively much of the activities conducted in these and pursues may be prohibited. providing military supply training and

much of that has been done through north korea's embassies particularly in africa the middle east so of all the countries in the middle east current syrian arab republic as the greatest levels of prohibited cooperation with north korean military and. half is. the father of the current syrian desk part and kim were friends from the 1960 zone back then the north koreans hope the syrians during the war against israel and supplied them with weapons and ammunition an important source of income right up till today. using tactics similar to those of the 18th century pirates bureau 39 runs ships under folks flags and fake names according to the u.n. north korea has thus managed to send large numbers of weapons to syria.

between 20122017 at least 40 shipments from north korea passed through the suez canal but in 2018 the un managed to have one of them intercepted. so we found something called go on its way to syria these were acid resistant tiles involves which could be used in chemical weapons development but also missile fuel is highly corrosive and such tal's could be used for ballistic missile programs as well the bill of lading clearly gave as an address in syria to stop bush from the company for serious scientific studies research center the s.s. all see which is responsible for serious ballistic missile and chemical weapons development program the russians that ensued the chemical weapons produced in these

laboratories has been used by syria's dictator assad against his own people for years and many of those who died in agony. it's a little known fact that the syrian chemical weapons program was created with the help of north korean technicians and scientists some of these sites were all made by the united states. the purpose of our actions today is to establish a strong deterrent against the production spread and use of chemical weapons. well and the america the chemical laboratory as they bugged the north koreans there whether they knew there bubbling there was koreans i don't know that they did as the north korean the essence is syria is really months and their report is depreciated. one 3rd of all buildings in

syria have been destroyed trying to. and a business opportunity the syrian regime hopes for billions from international donors for the reconstruction of the country the necessary work brigades to come from north korea the 2 countries signed a contract as a meeting in june 2019. between desperate. the money to service by office $30.00 and it goes straight into the coffers of the leadership . it is used on the one hand to provide for looks right to it is used to pay for the mercy of these beds cars that somehow find their way into the korea despite the sanctions but it also is also used and this is probably more important to deliver the best. you can trade. as early as the mid eighty's came in germany ill start a training the most talented children to become cyber hackers they're also good

textile companies they're mainly specialized in exporting goods abroad other companies in the bureau and foreign exchange through forced labor smuggling and insurance fraud but one rule applies to all the name bureau 39 is never mentioned outside north korea so it remains invisible impossible for u.n. sanctions monitors to detect. who say where they were you don't know how. subsequent syria her at all hours of the. book calling. the couriers isaac to. produce perhaps because you have it there you know. from
