1:03 pm
di trying others are discovered on board and handed to the italian police labor so much on laura conduct. the leader latin people have told us about violence and acts of force about being locked up about being dragged from the ferry. one person had an epileptic attack and was, let's say, dragged and kicked by the crew. one woman told us of invasive searches over intimate pass. it's alleged their offer not provided with translators as required by law, and that some prevented from claiming asylum before being returned to greece locked in the vessel. they arrived in occasionally leaving, assigning, they were there, edged on the wall. this man pictured himself in may last year, handcuff to the railings on a fairy bound for greece, using his description of the vessel and its route. this storage space was located in the vehicle bay below deck and in the greek port of pat trust,

1:06 pm
the ship. this is an important point. we had the migrant to the ferry crew and he's then handed over to the ferry captain. a tacit admission that forced returns do take place. but a defense that activists find unconvincing solitaire stuck at auto glass. i am certain that they talent police are aware the border police. a lot of this is done by or in front of the italian police. we denounce, not only that, this forced returns, i illegitimate, but also that they take place without formal procedures yet with no record of what actually happens. in fact, the numbers are impossible to find out. but anyway, in 2014, the european court of human rights found that italy had illegally detained and returned 35 asylum seekers by ferry to greece. the italian government has since insisted the practice no longer occurs. yet our investigation has her testimony

1:09 pm
a b granted by the cutting edge is ation. um, so in this way for us we'll see. okay. yeah, i'm a little bit how what do you make of the claim by the fairy company, the authorities in body, the police even, but they, they know nothing about this. i generally have made her happy complaint. this chair, or even to the doors presented a realize interview policy for a council meeting to prevent this region about the process. a company said no, but we need to all these other activities to be al going. how could, could this be going on without someone in authority knowing about it?
1:10 pm
sorry, and maybe i didn't, i, i went over how, how could this be happening without someone in authority knowing that it was happening. how visa force it happens? yeah, i mean, how could it go on without someone knowing and then at least the question that is everybody a possible. but what we can say is that it was a b and when the money was we based on the leg. when you fill out a gun and so we are really all of
1:11 pm
the people who are these happened be before time. ok. good to talk to many thanks and did audio. but leach, you, that in naples is being billed as an opportunity to shape the outcome of the war and ukraine. defense ministers from 50 countries, a meeting at germany, s ramstein abbeys to discuss the next steps in military support for ukraine. top of the agenda will be battle tanks and heavy weapons which president vladimir zalinski says a vital to increasing his troops offensive capabilities against russian forces. ahead of this new security of social packages work up to $2500000000.00. and it's one of the largest yet. it brings total u. s. security assistance to ukraine to more than $26700000000.00 since russia's unprovoked invasion. last february,
1:12 pm
our new package provides even more air defense capabilities to help ukraine defended cities and it skies. and that includes ne, sam's munitions and 8th air defense, avenger, air defense systems. this new assistance package also help helps meet ukraine's urgent need for arma and combat vehicles. the jello made leopard to tank. so at the core of the discussions at ramstein are based launched in 1979. they've been upgraded several times. currently, 13 european armies are using the battle tanks. a leper 2 is valued for its maneuverability. it's lighter than other comparable model such as britons challenge up to. they've recent battlefield experienced nato forces, use them enough. galveston, other nations that have received leopard tanks from germany, require approval from berlin before they can be sent to a 3rd country. that means the tanks can't be sent to ukraine without germany's
1:13 pm
permission. i'll just ears, alhashan was standing by for us in moscow. natasha butler is in key for 1st. let's go to step vaskins, who's at the ramstein air base in germany, where that meeting is being held. so, step is germany go edison leopard to tanks or not but let still the $1000000.00 question here in the ramstein. you heard the secretary austin mentioning the all the weapon systems that are now being i pledge to be sent to ukraine, anti aircraft, the fans, or all kinds of camp combat vehicles. a lot of ammunition. but that one key thing that ukraine really wants and says it needs the leper to thanks has not been mentioned so far as a contribution by germany. we know that the german government, under the leadership, although chancellor olive shows has been, has he tating for month, 2 sandy's battle tanks because he is worried. it's called a game changer. and he is worried that it could lead to an escalation of the war.
1:14 pm
and it would actually involve natal getting into a direct confrontation with russia. but the pressure here in ramstein and also in the weeks leading up to this has been immense on germany. and austin has called it a decisive moment for ukraine. and what it showed was also that for the 1st time overloaded me as a landscape president of ukraine, has been addressing this meeting here in ramstein. and he made a very emotional flea. and he said, time is running out. and he was basically pointing at the hesitation by germany and added take such a long time to make decisions. he says we have no time to lose a we are the basically facing may be next major offensive here in. now you, craig, people are dying every day. so he was really making an emotional play, but so far as i sat, we haven't heard from germany. if they're gonna send a leper to tags or not, that could be a compromise, as you say, other countries in europe have these tags as well. there's around 2000 tanks here
1:15 pm
of the slap or 2, and they could say, germany could say, we will give you the permission to send them to you. great. but even that we haven't heard so far. okay. steadfast no live at ramstein air. baseless, gotta keep them natasha popular is there for us or president zalinski spoke to that, sir, but meeting of for a foreign ministers in germany earlier and natasha. what did he tell them of? what is it that he specifically wants? whole ukrainian president says that he's hoping for some strong decisions from this meeting in germany. look what he wants is what kiva said is wanted all along. it has repeatedly urged weston powers to send more weapons to ukraine or most recently, more heavy weapons. things like tank, small armored fighting vehicles, but also i munition artillery basically anything and everything that would help
1:16 pm
ukranian of forces defend themselves against a russian forces. it was uminski is saying is, is you heard that there say is that look, we don't have time to hesitate because every day that we hesitate plays into the hands of the russians. he also took a swipe at germany for hesitating over sending these leopard tang, said olaf shows decisions. look as far as the ukrainians are concerned. they're likely, if you don't send these weapons that allow us to fight the russians, you will soon be fighting the russians elsewhere. in europe, that is the message from keith that they feel like they are doing the work on behalf of other western powers as a lot of a frustration. and even though there is also a lot of gratitude for many of the weapons that are being sent, for example, are we heard on a thursday that a number of european nations including estonia, lapierre, lithuania, poland, u. k. r. all sending more weapons to ukraine. a large numbers of weapons, so
1:17 pm
t v is grateful for that. they know that the u. s. is also preparing this huge weapons package, but they say what they need is more right now. they are worried about new offensive by russia, and they need those weapons as soon as possible. such a battle that live in cave. let's go to moscow then alley hashem has said that for us, just as our conference call on the way ali, the kremlin, issued a statement in which it said that western countries supplying additional tanks to ukraine, would not change the course of conflict. adrian, the criminal and all so as stated that the nato summit and providing ukraine with more weapons is going to take this conflict, john, not the level, this is what the metric for scope this spokesperson for the drug and said, he also reiterated yes, said days out was ition by demetri to midway to the deputy head of the national
1:18 pm
security council, who are warned that a russia aliesha losing the war means that this is going to be a nuclear to conflict. and this is kind of an escalator lea, a narrative or that. and i thought that the russians are taking and this also the flex, any way. i don't know that the concerns yet in more school, from the summit dot state complete or not going to take place. this is changing the b dynamics and in a way or another to our shop. this is a getting a, this is getting a new factor into the, into the battle on to them. this is really concerning now with respect to, to the russian or the russian. i, physicians, be a, you like to be a washing ambassador to united states also said that at all i thought gets not are going to be in ukraine are going to be a. busy why all western targets aren't going to be hit by the russian. so it's kind

a camp for displaced people in the democratic republic of congo. it happened, did it to a province. peacekeepers discovered mass graves earlier this week. well, there are at least $120.00 rebel groups operating in the democratic republic of congo. they're accused of extra judicial killings. the recruitment of charles soldiers and sexual violence attacks on schools and clinics are also common. research suggests the congolese soldiers are also implicated in the violence. in the past 3 years, the u. n. has documented, at least 3000 cases of torture, carried up by both fighters and congolese troops. some of the most prominent rubble, groups of the m $23.00 and the allied democratic forces or 80 f. another is the co operative for the development of congo or coda. ko, it's brian phil clark, who's professor of international politics science university. in london, he georgia snow via skype from london. a professor good to have you with this. what do you make of, of this latest attack?
1:34 pm
i think the discovery of this mass grave, in theory, adrian just puts a spotlights on the volatile situation throughout the state, conquer the failure by the congolese government to maintain peace and security in the region. it's inability to protect its own citizens in the last couple of weeks, all of the headlines have been about the m. 23 rebel group in north kiva. but this discovery of a mass scribe. any turi i think highlights that there's a much bigger picture of instability here. and as you said in your introduction is a very wide range of rebel groups. it's, it's not just about the i'm 23 at the masquerades were discovered by peacekeepers in the un mission damage isn't that job to protect civilians. they shouldn't be finding mass graves that this has been one of the brave criticisms against the un peacekeeping mission for the 20 years that it's been in congo that it systematically has failed to protect local citizens. we've even seen protests in
1:35 pm
the last couple of days are both against the un peacekeeping mission and also the east african communities near peacekeeping mission in east and congo. many local people see both of those missions as, as systematically filing out to, to protect them. so there's a real lack of distrust amongst local people towards the u. n. for those failures over the last 2 decades, the, the dancing's president says that the m 23 isn't withdrawing as, as it had agreed. he has also blamed lambda once again. i mean, is the, is there a solution to what's going on in the eastern democratic republic of congo? if rwanda and the d r c can actually work together? there are only really 2 solutions here. the 1st one is a diplomatic one. there have been attempts at negotiations between all of the regional parties, the congolese government, the rwandan government, the kenyans, the and colin's. the problem with that diplomatic approach so far has been that the rebels have been excluded from that process. and until i take part in those talks,
1:36 pm
what not down to see the political solution that we need, that the 2nd part of the solution has to be bolstering yet it dying. the congolese government's ability to provide security and protection to civilians on the ground is just a continual problem of those failure by the congolese states to do what it is supposed to do to fundamentally protected it's are in people. so there has to be a diplomatic solution, but there also has to be a, a comically site security solution here. all right, so who, who's going to have to step in to help him? should it be the un, should it be the african union or both? in fact, both of you in the i, you have, have failed. i've a recent used to quail the violence in eastern. com guys, the best route here in fact is one that is already in play, which is a regional diplomatic solution that's been broken both by the angle and, and by the kenyans. they have a very important process in place. that the problem though, is that the con, release government to wavering as to the dedication to that process. and the
1:37 pm
quarterly government is refusing the involvement of the m. 23 rebels and other rebel groups are the kenyans in the end goal. and i think a brokering a very important process here. the congo needs to play bowl and the rebels need to be involved in those tools has been great talking so many thanks and a professor phil clock, they're in london. u. s. president joe biden says he has no regrets of what he called in this place. documents controversy. some classified files have been discovered this home office and that his home in delaware speaking while visiting the site of forest fires in california by it and said that he hopes the issue will be resolved quickly. i think you're gonna find there's nothing there . i have no regrets, i'm following what the lawyers have told me. they want me to do exactly what we're doing. there's no, they're there. the white house says that the u. s. congress will come together and work to avoid a debt default. that's up to the country,
1:38 pm
hit it's $31.00 trillion dollar borrowing limit on thursday. that affairs, but a political showdown would unsettle markets and hit growth. allen fisher reports from washington. the treasury department warned weeks ago that there was going to be the possibility they would have to take extraordinary measures if the country run up against this debt limit. and that's exactly what's happened in the last couple of hours. us treasury secretary, janet yellen has written to kevin mccarthy, the leader of the house, and also senior figures on capitol hill saying that she's going to start those extraordinary measures to what is she doing not being in to certain government retirement funds for the time being. she's also looking at perhaps realizing some investments yes, government has made and she's also seeing that as we move through this process, she's going to have to start moving money around us departments as well. that is going to put pressure on those in the white house. and also those up there on capitol hill. the question will be, what can they do to avoid the u. s. defaulting on its debt that kevin mccarthy,
1:39 pm
when he was elected as speaker of the house, managed to do so by getting some votes from republicans who said that they wanted to see spending cuts when the debt limit came up. now, joe biden, and the white house said that simply not going to happen, that this bill must be passed clean and done. so just like they've done for republican and democratic presidents in the past. now, if there is a problem, this could cause a real difficulty in the u. s. economy and by extension, or with the world economy as well, back in 2011, when republicans and then president barack obama couldn't come to an agreement. the u. s. lost its top credit rating for the 1st time ever. and there was a tremor through the world economy that something that joe biden is keen to avoid, particularly given that the economy seems to be recovering from high inflation and high gas prices. and also things are becoming slightly easier for many families and america. so it's going to be
1:40 pm
