tricks, the kim regime and several $100000000.00. but how does the kim regime manage to transfer the millions it makes to pyongyang? the answer is simple. through diplomatic channels grew up and it shows how much it was you get to know, i don't know what it is. i'm not sure who, who gave is true for her payroll. your subsequent to your one or 30. there is a, north korea uses its worldwide network of embassies to ferry money back to pyongyang, north korean officials, enjoying diplomatic community. carried money in cash and f like baggage. a simple but efficient way to ensure the cash flow doesn't stop.

nursing the embassies have a different epic function that that's often mainly ceremonial, but their to function is financial. it's also illegal, mainly know screen diplomats are basically cast carriers for kim their into, for their, their businessman. they may be direct lawrence and maybe weapon smugglers, but they carry a different passport, say contacts and berlin. right in the middle of the city, like the north korean embassy. the north koreans have been renting out one of the buildings as a hostile for tourists. they've been earnings, $38000.00 euros per month in rent, using embassy grounds for such activities is against diplomatic practices and contravenes un and you 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 the cold sanctions are so comprehensive. now,

much of the activities conducted in these embassies may be prohibited providing military supplies, training, and much of that has been done through north korea's embassies, particularly in africa and the middle east side of all the countries in the middle east. currently, syria and our republic has the greatest levels of prohibited cooperation with north korean military entities. half his ascent, the father of the current theory and death point and can assume were friends from the 1900 sixty's own. back then the north koreans helped the syrians during the war against israel and supplied them with weapons and ammunition. an important source of income right up to day. using tactics similar to those of 18th

century pirates bureau, $39.00 runs ships under full flags and fate names. according to the un, north korea has dust 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 us 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 tiles could be used for ballistic missile program as well. the bill of lading clearly gave has an address in syria established from the company for syria scientific studies research center

. the s s l c, which is responsible for serious ballistic missile chemical weapons development program. the russians did in the chemical weapons produced in these lavar trees, who have been used by serious dictator against his own people for years and many of those who died in agony, foaming up a little known fact was that the syrian chemical weapons program we've created with the help of north korean technicians and the scientists, some of these sites with armed by the united states. the purpose or actions today, is to establish a strong deterrent against the production spread and use of chemical weapons. when the, the american bomb d m, the chemical laboratories day bob to north korea, or whether they knew their bombing or trains. i don't know, but they did s screen. the presence in syria is really much and their report sandra,

appreciated me, one 3rd of all buildings and syria has been destroyed, attract, and a business opportunity. the theory and 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 at a meeting in june 2019 deals between death bonds. the money this earned by office 39, it goes straight into the coffers to leadership. it is used on the one hand to provide for luxury items. it is used to pay for them. and the mercedes benz car stats somehow found their way into the korea. despite the sanctions, but it also, it is also used and this is probably more important to deliver the best hackers.

you can, you can train as early estimate, eighty's came and young ill started training the most talent of children to become cyber hackers. they're also good money earners. ransomware, like the one across fires, for example, is considered to come from the north koreans. it is the biggest cyber attack the world has ever seen. hundreds of thousands of computers around the world in about $150.00 countries rendered useless. now the u. s. government is publicly placing the blame for that cyber assault, uniquely dubbed, want to cry squarely, and kim jong owns army of hackers in so computer specialists, a hot on the heels of north korean hackers. simon, joy works as a consultant for south korean intelligence agencies could the washing and a quarter to know what i'm going to talk to sure, connie, to june, and then move back when i boon and we'll pack it up to them. and then we'll keep

100 if i want to buy a king or sunday on each so you will the pawn in some quantity experts estimate that between 61300 hackers works for kim or pills over or coming up on a king on a team, so they get a little daughter together attending when to get i assume you guys have to come it out so not wanted to come in and do that and can you call it out to me when i come by log in. i wanna know she got to pay way sick. what i would should experts estimate that up to $2000000000.00 have been stolen by young, highly trained north korean hackers. north korea has developed an efficient education system for it's upper middle class here at young young middle school, the children who will later be computer specialists, scientists and engineers, a train to shape the future of the country to meet your highly. and i'm sure,

but i want to the facing the chinese, i guess. rather the students also learn how to use computers. they have access to a very limited north korean version of the internet. uncensored variety is strictly forbidden. north korea's rulers know that once the doors to the digital world have been thrown open, they can never be shot again. but despite all precautions in 27, north korea face the 1st digital data leak in its history. the data of pyongyang, municipal registry with more than 2000000 entries. professor brighter obtained a copy, and it's currently analyzing it using special software. we never had this kind of up to date information effort.

if you want to understand the system, the regime to party, you can actually go about analyzing and mapping chung for 1st time and we're no longer dependent. and it goes on people who tell us where, where all the buildings are. we can actually now she whose inside 2 buildings with companies, there are departments there are and re, should locate them the day to prove the main building. if bureau, 39 is close to the seat of power, right in the middle of the piano, in just a stone's throw away from the headquarters of the workers party. it's divided into 6 main departments and employ several 1000 people and young young alone. they have their own fleet vehicles, kindergartens, a golf course, an ostrich farm, and even their own bank. these 6 main departments are in turn responsible for

hundreds of individual companies throughout north korea. they control iron or, and diamond mines, jewelry, factories and textile companies. they're mainly specialized in exporting good to broad other companies in the bureau and foreign exchange to force labor smuggling and insurance fraud. but one rule applies to all the name bureau. 39 is never mentioned outside north korea. busy so it remains invisible, impossible for un sanctions monitors to detect me. and i have already a kind of generalized where you will know what you call those. you do your homes here and i was with all around horror as we get

to go on the grounds traverse. have you guys read, you know by hung from we'll come by, lizzie, mitchell. milton, with his own, along to the on monday with turn the tires and everything on your honeymoon make dollars. north korea is changing. an impoverished socialist state has turned into a country with a highly flexible shadow economy. in many ways north career is run like a commercial company. all that matters is cash can. the work is here and no longer slaving away for the revolution. but for the wealth of dan, nita and his cronies, the gap between rich and poor is widening. while the population in pyongyang enjoys

constantly growing prosperity, 40 percent of the rural population still suffer from the nutrition. what a database shows beyond any doubt, instead of asserting, i know the only excess. now we can prove what it does. it owns companies and operates these companies and exports all kinds of things. and that is actually quite and an important development in understanding how north korea managers to earn money above. we know know exactly through what kind of companies office 39 dust is the king john silk silk spinning now named after kim jong owns grandmother . a model factory. 1600 workers are employed here. most of them women. they sought process and boil the cartoons of the soap worms to obtain the precious yon. the phillip williams come from a province south of pyongyang,

about $200.00 tons of phil could produce here every year. a luxury product expensive and labor intensive, the factories entire production is intended for export abroad, but the supervisors are unwilling to disclose who the foreign customers are. i'm not sure any more who suffers under those stations. it's a hassle, i'm sure for their friends, but i do find ways around it. what is the problem is, is that night, or china, nor russia is, is helping and enforcing the sanctions chromosomes close it. it's and say they don't see the tail engine on ends on day crew. cool in general. so you guys keep on to doesn't move shebaway till my mom sit on it. what are you going to mission mom? working number one moment because he had to come in to

to t o. sometimes you know, when people are people, common factory textiles are the 2nd most important north korean export product. after code, we're going to be home. now the prisons thing is simple in good then you were to happen. what happened was she will need them don't go hold them. ready ready then don't china,

north korea gateway to the world and a symbol of how futile the un efforts are to dry out can the sources of cash. ready the final korean friendship, french across the yahoo river. it's one of the few ways to enter or leave north korea every day, trucks. q in front of the custom's checkpoint smugglers traders and also the agents and entrepreneurs of bureau, $39.00. they're all hoping for a quick deal here. china is by far north korea's most important trading partner. financial experts estimate that 90 percent of north korea's exports go to its powerful neighbor in the north. thousands of north koreans is said to work in textile factories in the region disguised as businessmen and equipped with hidden cameras. we film in one of the factories,

chinese textile companies higher north koreans, because their wages lower than those of chinese workers. these seamstresses work day and night, and often sleep on the company premises. they're likely to be locked up for years far away, and their families will be together with a team of labor, lawyers, trade x, data specialists. ramco broker tries to find out whether europe in brands work with chinese companies that directly or indirectly employ north koreans. please manage to prove the existence of a significant amount of, nor screen slave labor in the supply chain of some of the rules leading clothing companies with more than that chinese factories outsource to north korea, centuries in north korea, basically in europe and in the u. s. we've come to an agreement that we no longer wish to find slave labor or child labor in our supply chains. but if you look

closer at solve these producers, you find it sometimes up to 90 percent for production does not take place in china . it does not take place in the factories where the european and the american auditors come to check whether working conditions are decent. yes, they are in those factories. but that's only where 10 percent of the products are. snape, the other 19 percent comes from north korea bridges team investigated one chinese textile company more closely. it's called von dest. their list of customers rates like a who's, who, of international fashion brands. the website features a man's jacket. next to it, it says korea and imported the buttons, carry a label, a money genes using trade databases, brokers, team analyzed, long desks, business relations between 2013 and 20. 19 the databases use customs data

showing which good to send back and forth between companies in different countries . china cents the material to make certain types of clothes to north korea. one love they are the ship beck in the same container. and then you have finished us. those close are again shipped to say the netherlands ortho, germany, or to america. and from there they're distributed into our stores. between 2013 and december 2016 long death sent around $10000000.00 worth of fabrics and raw materials to north korea. during the same period, phone desk received finished garments worth almost $25000000.00 from north korea. costumes classified textiles by so called h. s. codes, we take a closer look at h. s. code 62. 0 one. it stands for mens anoraks and jackets like the money

jacket on the website. between 2013 and december, 2016, bon dest imported garments worth $12000000.00. with this code from north korea, the same code is also used for deliveries from von desk to europe and the us among the customers. a money. a money jacket that look exactly like the one on von deaths website can also be bought in europe. this one costs 219 euros. it can't be proven beyond doubt whether garments like this one are made in north korea. but can it be ruled out? we asked for fashion brands of money, right? we confirmed that phone, dest is one of our suppliers, and as such, is regularly subject to checks and inspections. the result of these checks being the no finished products on manufactured in north korea. like all our suppliers,

it's also required to declare which subcontractors it uses and where these are concerned. it's also the case that none are in north korea. we've also contacted loan dest in writing. the company offered no explanation as to why and to what extent it trades with north korea. in one thing can be sent for certain. well known fashioned brands have their goods manufactured by a chinese company that co operates with north korea. a country where workers have no rights where human life counts for nothing. broaches investigation shows that this is not an isolated incident. for years and years we've heard testimony from north korean escapees who were in concentration came today have been forced to produce textiles for the export market. and i think for the 1st time i've

been able to corroborate that through an external source. i'm not through a testimony in the same database. i found the department bureaucratic department that is responsible for managing the production of textiles for want to concentration camps. aside from that, it means that we only by close, produced by forest laborers, maybe to slave labor. we may even buy clothes all through europe in america that was made in concentration. camps by people never see the light of day. again, these are the kinds of camps that you don't leaf until your death. that is just to fix, to, to put in worse and we're complacent. ah, hundreds of thousands of men and women secretly ensure the survival of the dictatorship. their futures sacrificed for the luxury of the regime. and for our prosperity, qindzhong own bands,
