province of southern guns. the president of bela ruth has told western powers to choke on their sanctions. after another round was imposed on his government by the united states and the united kingdom. it coincides with the 1st anniversary of alexander lucas shank is disputed election when so far, the measures have failed to persuade him to ease for the crackdown on his opponents . credible with cases and hospital admissions across the us have reached a 6 month pi fuel by the spread of the delta variance. the number of the infections reported has reached 100-0043 days in a row. that's a 35 percent spike compared to last week. several large scale summer events have been canceled due to the rise in cases including the new york authorship and the new orleans job festival. those are the headlines. i'll be back with more news and half now. next is people in power here and algebra. on counting, the code from june is yet to south africa. the pandemic has reopened free existing

economic conflicts challenges. but the gap between rich and poor nations continues to widen with a lack of china is cranked down on capitalism. counting the cost on al jazeera, the north korea, $1.00 of the poorest countries in the world managed to evade un sanctions and pay for it nuclear weapons program. the answer is through a secretive government organization known as bureau, 39, which obtains foreign exchange by any means possible to fund kim jong and regime in the 1st 2 episodes investigating how it's done. we reveal how money laundering and slave labor raise cash for kim. ah

the north korea, the pariah state. a dictatorship shrouded in mystery. every day the official newspapers praised the heroic deeds of the deer leader. time seems to stand still here. ah, no korea has the 4th largest army in the world. for 3

generations, the kim family has ruled the country with an iron faith. but how does the regime manage to survive despite severe un sanctions? and how come king john own has enough money to threaten the world with the most powerful weapon of all time? the nuclear bomb, the far from north korea ramco broker, a history professor is working on answers to these questions. he says, our image of north korea is wrong, isn't what it said. it is just look at the country functions and at the highest level. what is the main goal of, of the government of the regime?

i should say. it's to make money is made cash for kim. what intrigues me personally is how north korea managers to make money. one of the questions we are stuck with is where does the money go? how much money does north korea make for north korea's leadership? questions like these a dangerous, the north korean regime sent a letter of indictment under my name to the government, charging me with 3 capital crimes. the worst of the 3 was the accusation that our research, my research was in my name and damage the supreme dignity of the supreme either. this sounds like it's a funny crime, right? damaging the supreme difference of somebody in north korea, kerisha death, county remco broke his investigations threatened to disrupt north korea's cash flow . the country is internationally isolated because of its nuclear program. without legal sources of income, the regime has taken to raising money,

illegally new york. the seat of the united nation since 2006, the u. s. has imposed 9 rounds of sanctions against north korea. these measures the monitored by an international panel of experts. the panel consists of 8 members, including ex intelligence, military, and financial experts. for their own safety, they work in secret only the coordinator, hugh griffith is willing to speak on camera. the sanctions have a tremendous impact on one level on north korea. it means that economy comp flourish in the way it would. they can't ship coal legitimately, they can't ship iron or legitimately foreign currency is very important to any country, no matter how, of talking to economy. you need foreign currency to buy the goods that are

essential for your population or your elite group. so foreign currency is pretty essential to north korea survival. the question is, what's more important to the north korean leadership, developing nuclear ballistic missile program or seeing their economy flourish, the regime decided to go for the bomb in 2005, it officially announced that it had nuclear weapons as a protection against attacks from the outside and to strengthen its power on the inside. piano again, the city of the chosen brand, new apartment block line, spotlessly clean avenues. here is where the unions upper class reside. only those who are considered loyal to the regime live here. those who want

to enter the capital from the outside need a permit. don't you chose from young young's economic research institute? he's authorized to talk to journalist, for example, about the sanctions. what i'm, what i'm going to do. so guess we'll get tagged into how, how we send it to the house and haven't i don't, what didn't we we considered we had to revise. we'll work static things and get on the case. so i pronounce, you know, getting on the sanctions at, at a half and put north korea are extremely strict. i mean, there's probably nothing a country that has been sanctioned, bore diversity, him or more strictly in the same time. they're no longer working. there is

a huge problem with our cf odyssey and using sanctions to try and half the regime modifies behavior because we're not saying the one entity that earns most of his money that keeps the flood financially. this keeps his life. many high ranking defectors from those career talk about a secret government department that said to administer the regime secret funds, allegedly can is some. and his son, kim john, set it up in the late 19 seventy's and equipped it with wide ranging powers, its tasks, securing an independent power base for the kim's, and raising money for the nuclear bomb. and the leaders personal luxury, its name bureau, 39, only 200 kilometers to the southeast. south korea as hyper modern

capital. around 25000000 people live in the metropolitan area. about half the population of south korea. among them, most of the 30000 people who managed to flee from north korea. ko young one was a north korean diplomat. he escaped in 1991. later, he was deputy director of south korea's institute for national security strategy. few people know more about the kim regime's workings than he does. cujo young age. she what i'm going to saw. no, the own bank has own young nubile. she was there. even when i saw from she of course she does wonder honey call june. god goes to school, she didn't. kim joan, there she's out or come down and talk to

any prominent north korea next and all. tell you that bureau, 39 is absolutely crucial in earnings refuse for nursing regime. it's absolutely fine. it'll take away everything collapses. here in new york, the united nations imposed and monitor the sanctions against north korea and entity as important as bureau. 39 should be heading the list of band organizations. office $39.00 is normally talked about by north korean defectors. we don't really see office 39 in our investigations. instead, we're looking at the north korean banks and the shell companies traditionally operate overseas in 3rd countries to generate foreign currency. and then that money is sent back to north korea. bureau 39 south nursery is called bureau 39. nobody

identifies as somebody who works for bureau 39. so it's very difficult to slap sanctions on. people you don't really know are active kinshasa the capital of the democratic republic of congo. since the 1980s, north korea has been procuring foreign currency here in the heart of africa. co young one witnessed a particularly spectacular case at the time. i call them in 2 ways and they're polarization and got that a lot or is that it has all continued up. you tell us that it is sure where to go, who will tell us? that'd be out. and bumble were all child in crickets of thomas to the punk overall . because on the, on the, on that a lot are going to be to me to take, i thought pick the left that it will share that. how did they call, did you sometime bird?

you just repair, it was all of that. so we had a pie all combined, a lot of the little toil go to jail, will corner product as you go purchase with a local product community, because you got one from pushy, they drove out of all bureau. so she 9 never acts openly, but it's fundraising activities span the globe ankle. what in can bodya? world heritage flight. over $2500000.00 people visit the old can their temples every year. they'll phase for the tourists. foreign exchange for cambodia. uncle, what operating company, and more than $100000000.00 in 2018 tourism is by far the largest industry here

a lucrative business also for north korea. right next to the entrance to the temples. a museum that opened in 2015. as it's hot is a 3 d painting that to pick the history of the command empire in monumental images, throngs of tourists that guided through here every day. so. 7 7 by the penta. they for north korea and me. hey, tiffany, pen 10. let's how one. yeah. and from one to pen can then not put income, send them. so convincing un sanctions. north korea not only built the complex but also financed it in return, the north koreans collect all the revenues for the 1st 10 years after that. ringback they share the profits, the north korean c e o doesn't want to appear in front of the camera. but he says the museum makes about $7000000.00

a year in entrance fees alone. cambodia and north korea have maintained close relation for decades. can is sewn and cambodia is king noted on piano. we're good friends, a solid basis for today's business ties that contravene un sanctions. in the evening when the museum closes, the north koreans throw another set of doors open for the hungry tourists. they don't want cameras in the restaurant. so we fill in secret the menu boast north korean specialties, such as coals noodles and seek you come by. the prices, the surprisingly high by cambodian standards, a main course costs up to $50.00. in particular, tourists from china and south korea, visit the restaurant. the young women who serve here mostly students from pyongyang

and they live and sleep above the restaurant and are often not allowed to leave the premises for years. every evening, at the same time, they changed their costumes and get ready for the big show. ah, i the there are 130 such north korean restaurants worldwide. 3 of them income rodeo. they said to make several $1000000.00 a year, but the waitresses don't get paid for their work. the dollars flow directly into the regime secret coffins. no other country

exploits its population as systematically as north korea. north korean work is deployed worldwide. even in the european union in poland. here we encounter north korean work brigades on a building site. they've been promised good wages and decent working conditions, only to be treated like slaves. in the evening after a 12 hour shift, the work is driven to their barracks. they are monitored around the clock by north korean state security. still one of them decides to talk one's on the ocean. the concern is just sale.

and on the, on the can. i think when you get to cement or took it to 0170 part of a vessel when checked on, i will put too much of a. she mentioned the king on equal, they're going to go on. hey guys, you go on something in a come on get, did you get to join us fishing? gotcha. it's $200.00 in there. what is it? what am i will be playing it go sons out on the knowledge show. couldn't the money had all gone on while you're on the wish and him pin up to within a shuttle so told on honey i'm gonna have to kinda i will get you'll already hunted shoes, you know, going to all bucket and they have to get him and get it all set. i'm, i've

a 30 day money for subsidy. you go ahead and include them. in the book, you'll see the modern slavery. north korea sends well trained workers to poland, to toil in shipyards and on construction sites. the work has families held hostage in north korea. if the work of the flea, the family at home is often severely punished. the work is only about 90 euros per month. the rest goes to the regime cash for kim, largely unnoticed by the international community. north korea has sent labor is all over the world up 285-0000 all about 40000 of them are in russia and up 280-0000 in china. north koreans also we're can q wait, malaysia,

cambodia, mongolia, oman cutter. the united arab emirates and an african countries under un sanctions. these workers need to go back to north korea, but the practice still continues. experts estimate that the regime makes up to $1000000000.00 a year. this way, all the banks, you will have a pony boy, you know? i don't have to then have she go, she orders him sure. cause he does not prevent his all from one in which defense to say that bureau. 39 is directly controlled by kim john own. it manages the leadership secret accounts, the so called palace economy. but wherein pyongyang is bureau 39 located and how many millions flow into its coffers.

when we ask the north korean official, he and his translator pretend not to know where his host bureau, 39 is one of the best kept secrets of the king regime. only north koreans who escaped can talk about it openly. me secret location, we meet a man who used to work for bureau 59. he was based in china, his task smuggling foreign currency. then he escaped. his position was so important that today the north korean regime threatens to kill

him. this is why he had plastic surgery to alter his face even so he only wants to be film from behind. can we just have a job? and you could probably take a couple years or. busy more the engineering that are going to see now there's some more, more working behind on the run to run get, you know, there's a 30 minute police history that vines into the ground was young when we will just read out that you are going to get up or you will, i will, is 100. she done a ways is how do you understand bureau $69.00 and the capitalist structure of north korea. it's important to understand its history. in 1991,

the soviet union break up. north korea loses one of its most important trading partners. while many form socialist states now rely on market economics, the kins continue to isolate themselves. when kim jong il takes over from his late father in 1994, a famine breaks out the great famine. mid nineties, many a fresh start to death. the public distribution system collapse. witnesses described seeing mountains of dead bodies in the streets, anywhere between $1.00 to $3000000.00. there are 3 in states. so what happens in north korea is now new. that is what it is or 5 they could no longer trust or rely on the states. from then on the rural population in particular, had to be self sufficient. market started to emerge all over north korea. they're

called jung, that done. all sorts of current fees are accepted, especially american dollars and chinese, you, on today, they're a countless of these markets throughout the country. $400.00 of them, or even officially licensed and provide tax income for the regime, mainly food and goods from china about it. and so here, both of those p to united total would be to go join, but they were showing that chloe more to go to lunch, post pro sure who we to go to touch on that to talk with you. good point. so to me, because i know you don't mean that i mentioned in the new i've always so the regime try to control the market, but it knows it comes if it's just on the market without having in place another public distribution system. people die of hunger and north korean and not going to

let that happen again. they know what happened last time. ah, and that's how north korea really changed from a socialist country with a economy and ruins to a capitalist country with a hybrid economy that luke socialists, but really is really capitalistic. ah, the biggest profiteers from these black markets up young, young officials because of fan loyalty, but mainly out of financial self interest. the regime allows them to trade. over the year they've become rich. they sell luxury goods, smuggle raw materials and invest in real estate. they called don't you, money lords, they enjoy the luxury and the freedom that the regime grants them. but their

loyalty comes at a price. many don't you hold senior government positions including a few rows, 39 like this man who's been hiding. and so, since he escaped, born in the ninety's, he experience town or korea developed increasingly capitalist structures. before his escape. he was responsible for export bureaus, 39, his most lucrative business, fearing the regime is revenge. he too doesn't want to be recognized when you go any shows on it. and so host him, well, you don't go on using bio, you know, even though she didn't tall she took him on there, which is what must have again, tv show doing their korea. so you don't away then don't kill

mil turtle boy cook until she puts you down unless she continues. though montoya to nan, china with an under in that respect, at least north korea go get her a no different from their counterparts in the west wave rather than what they need to do on how to get them that who. ready is an angel about boy and tell you how to read it with cash or live guys, prove it to teneo in the next about 2 investigations. how insurance comes computer hacking and illegal sales? keep the money rolling in the

news. news, news, news, news, a crime that should japan or people get killed on one occasion in as bloody a massacre as this was the tracks a lot of report. there was just a current drum. the who did it, who did it? who did it? have the conviction that led to the world's longest hell that throw prisoner and his sister's 47 year long battle to save him from execution. witness. how come

adam, japan's death row on a jazzy data? what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here. we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. ah . a global wake up call while leaders ran it with alarm to you and report on the scale of the climate emergency. signs of those changes already visible from greece to siberia, to the u. s. bonds or destroying forests and devastating the lives of millions. i'm interested in the north of abbey island increase were wildfires that have been raging for a week are still burning. ah .
