and demand the truth. there is no serious discussion about this because it goes to the very root of who we are with me, mark lamond hill. what does it i me this is al jazeera. ah,

you're watching the news, our life from headquarters, and hi daddy navigator coming up in the next 60 minutes. germany facing mounting pressure descended leopard tanks through ukraine at a meeting of 50 countries at ramstein, airbase and al jazeera joints investigation fines. asylum seekers were forced to return from italy to greece and inhumane conditions. thoroughly own reserve 30 percent of all jobs for women, including the parliament on management roles. i'm heidi joe castro in charlottesville, virginia, where we are looking at the state of abortion access in the united states. 50 years after roe vs wade coming up and for like father like son, about a quarter stays on track to follow his jobs. australian open when he run as he of stuff another gland round grand slam champion. ah,

welcome to the news our germany is facing mounting pressure to allow the export of its leper to battle tanks to ukraine. president val, others lensky says they could turn the tide of the war against russia. well, that pressure came as defense. ministers from 50 countries meet, it runs fine air base to coordinate military support for keys. and the head of the meeting, finland announced the new donation of more than $430000000.00 worth of equipment. and the u. s. promise to send armored vehicles and air defense worth up to 2 and a half $1000000000.00. al jazeera spoke to one ukranian tank commander on the front lines. he told us why the german made tanks would be a game changer. gretchen said with a $630.00 would abuse. nova receiving the leopards will make us better all around. in terms of firepower, maneuverability, moving target, acquisition, and recoil. stabilisation, which improves accuracy. it's more powerful in every way. it has modern armor,

very well protected, and it's famous for its safety. along with the challenger. to bonkers, more double move, or these tanks would allow us to counter attack and break the defensive line of the enemy as well as work under the cover of air power and artillery. the russians have powerful and modern anti take missiles, however, they can't destroy the leopard. or the challenger, because they have modern armor and the crews are well protected. and this was lee with them was sure it's very important because the lives of our infantry artilleryman and paratroopers are at stake. it's human lives matter. the leopards will enable us to stop the russians and push them back from our borders because launch a counter offensive and destroy the enemy. so we have 3 corresponding following, the latest developments in moscow cave and that the ram sign air base, 1st 2 step fos, and who, where that meeting is taking place, step and the germans have been hesitating. tell us why. and when do we expect a decision to be made on these leveraging well over

definitely expectations and high hopes here, especially on the side of the ukrainians. that a decision on the leper to thanks could have been made today. but the german defense minister has made it clear that that's not gonna happen. he was talking about maybe another day, maybe another week, maybe 2 weeks. he said it's, there are pros and cons on the sending of his lap or tags. and this should be carefully wait, and that's something that they are doing right now. and meanwhile, he says that he is assessing the stocks here in the country and see how quickly they can be sent to ukraine if a decision is made. and these cons that he is talking about. we know that all of shows the chancellor here in germany has been very hesitant and very careful in sending happy weapons to ukraine. and it seems that his lap or 2 tanks are quite wrapped line for him. he's really worried that it could escalate the situation that it would actually put nato, or could put nato against russia directly. and also as an internal pressure from

within his party at a lot of people on the pacifies side, especially since world war 2. they have sat never again, these tanks, russian tags, or german tags have to say, is fighting against russia. so that says things that he's dealing with is also a poll done by german t v. showing that it's only, it's around half half of the population in germany who is in favor or against sandy, this elaborate to tags so that these are all a consequences and considerations that all of scholes is dealing with. and, and as the other issue, a lot of european countries do have to slap a tags to. and a were requests, for example, from poland and finland to get permission from germany to send them to ukraine. but as the minister said this has not even been discussed today. so there is no outcome or no news about possibly sending lepper tags from other countries. so we are

basically, we are still way what germany is going to decide. ok, thank you so much. the parson reported from ramstein airbase. let's cross over to keith and speak to natasha butler. she's joining us from there. so that's alpha. no surprise, really? the lensky is urging his western allies to speed up the delivery of these tanks. what more did he have to say? earlier and what specifically is he asking for well, you know, for the ukranian president and many ukrainian peoples, they see a real disconnect between all these conversations and discussions that are taking place in capitals and cities around the country in germany today about whether or not to send weapons or sort of weapons and the reality of what is happening on the ground here in ukraine or ukrainian forces continuing to fight russian forces in the east's, in other parts of the country. and then also, just to day we had more air raid sirens, go off in many parts of ukraine,

a nursery in an eastern city, ah, targeted by another russian attack. so this is the reality for ukrainian people. and that is why volota me zalinski has urged people at this meeting in germany a to decide to send more weapons. he says that's what we need. it's what he had said since the beginning of this war, he was heavy weapons. now tanks armored vehicles but also artillery ammunition, anything that will help ukraine try and push a russian forces out to the country. defeat russian forces bought. and lensky says, look, we need these weapons now, and we need them fast and all this hesitation. but take he from countries like germany isn't helping it is only helping russia because day by day they can make gains whilst we are still waiting for weapons. now, he did say, however, he gave his thanks, however, to a number of particular european countries that have pledged big weapons packages

are latvia. lithuania, poland of all said that they'll be sending a lot more weapons. the united states, of course, pledging an enormous a multi $1000000000.00 weapons package, also for keith, as lensky said, look, we're very grateful for that. but we do need more and we do need them fast. because, you know, there is a sense here in ukraine that many people, what many people feel is that they are in effect fighting a war on behalf of everyone else on behalf of some power is one defense minister, the defense me. so i should say ukraine saying look, if we, if we lose this war, you will be fighting it and said, ok, thank you so much. natasha butler for that update from keith. and from creve, we cross over to moscow and bringing the hash him, he's joining us from there for more on what the kremlin has been saying about all of this highly as the rain now allowed them to pass. gov, the spokesperson for the kremlin, were warned today that such a move in,

dro mustaine is going to complicate things more more and is going to take the conflict into a new level completely new level. however, he stressed that this is not going to change anything in the field. he also said that this is going to have a great impact on the regional european security. and besides these commands, he also urged the europeans west in general to take the russian concerns into consideration, and this might help in the escalating. so in general, at today's a statement by pasco, who's talking on behalf of the kremlin cons, also one day after the mid 3 madrid of the deputy had of the national security council warned that such moves are going to lead to a nuclear war just in case russia law loses this war, so it's kind of the a raising the stake on the, on the russian side,

trying to prove that there are other options. there are other cars available and this is directed and not only towards the foreign power is also it's directed to the inside to the local or but to the public public opinion. because that is a picture that is a picture that says being yeah, that's accumulated. they after they, that there is a kind of isolation and that russia is lacking options and locking costs in this game. so the trying to say no, we are, we're still in control and things are moving according to the plan. ok, thank you so much. and he has been reporting from moscow. so while all of that is happening, russia has called an informal meeting of the un security council to discuss ukraine's attacks in the dom boss. and for more on that would bring in kristen salumi. she's joining us from there. chris and tell us what this is all about. well, to be clear, as you said, it's an informal meeting,

not an unofficial meeting of the security council. it's the kind of side event that countries call when they're looking to draw attention to certain subjects and russia has done so often throughout this conflict. the subject of this meeting is what they are describing as these systematic war of ukraine on the don bass. it's a history lesson really going back to 2014 and setting up the meeting. the russian ambassador said that he wanted to lay out the background for the ongoing conflict in ukraine and the root cause is not that they haven't done this before. here at the united nations, but i think what significant is that there are 5 new members of the security council who have just started their terms, countries like japan in switzerland. and so russia is making its case for why this conflict is ongoing. a at a time, of course, when the global economy is suffering other conflicts are getting less attention

here at the united nations. and we are hearing this rhetoric about a scaling up the war and more weapons flowing to the region. so it would be interesting as well. to hear if russia has any response to that as well, coming out of this, this, this informal meeting, or you'll keep us across a story. thank you so much. kristen salumi reporting from the united nations or pro ukraine oculus from serbia. her filed criminal complaint against russia, wagner mercenary group, accusing of recruiting serbs to fight and ukraine service president condemned the wagner roof after it advertised for fighters. serbian law prohibits citizens from participating and conflicts abroad a sheet in your mother's near spreading hatred among serbs towards ukrainians towards people who have never in history done anything bad to serbia is a crime and that crime must be prosecuted. the spread of hate propaganda leads to violence and war, and that is not necessary here, nor anywhere in europe. yelena,

result in illegal consequences want once they're able to be held responsible before the state of bodies. serbia is a candidate to joined the european union. but it also has close ties with russia. an entirely depends on guess, imports from russia. i'll remind you also that serbia remains the only european country apart from belarus. they didn't join our western sanctions against moscow. i. on the other hand to which it says he will have very difficult conversations with you. and us represented this and says he will address therapy us over the weekend to tell them what is the required and expected from serbia regarding costs of or, and sanctions against russia. hunter mar, had on the are 0 news hour, including another attack on displaced people in the eastern democratic republic of congo. days after dozens were killed by armed roofs and police and brazil conduct

rates to find those responsible for the riots on the capital. earlier this month and and sport will show you how manchester city fought back to beat tottenham in the, from jani. ah, so there has been a new attack on account for displaced people in the eastern democratic republic of congo. it happened in it to re province. the un says at least 7 people were killed . malcolm lab reports just a warning. the story contains images. some viewers may find upsetting. dozens of people have been killed in a to a province in recent weeks. a rebel group called for deco, which operates in eastern democratic republic of congo, is widely thought to be responsible. i managed to hide myself when the militia started the mass killing in the village with machetes and bullets. after

a few hours, as the militia withdrew from the area, i came back to check around and i found the dead body of my husband, among others along the road site. many of the relatives of the victims only found the bodies of their loved ones. days after co deco fighters left the area, mike went on my share day, the militias were carrying many machetes, and summit guns. i saw them from wells hiding myself in the machine. these were covered with blood after they finish killing all the people i have. and i want obama could echo originated in a conflict over grazing and farm land that began decades ago, fought on ethnic lines. now the group controls lucrative trade routes and gold mines is grown stronger in recent months. the un has a tax like a deco and it's rivals i year should be investigated. december 2022. the mission reports that at least 195 civilians have been killed. and $68.00 injured as well as $84.00 people abducted during several incidence attributed to good deco ends

a year armed groups. the recent attacks have increased the number of displaced people to more than 1500000 inventory, and reduced access for humanitarians to those in need of assistance. un peacekeepers have been blamed for failing to protect people. recent talks between the government and rebel groups in kenya's, capital nairobi haven't stopped the violence malcolm web l 20. asylum seekers trying to reach europe have described being forcibly moved from italy to greece on makes if prisons and fairies al jazeera, as part of an investigation with lighthouse reports and other media partners, has her testimony about refugees being locked in small rooms without food or water . some of the victims are minor ins. jonah hall reports from berry in italy. across the adrian attic, see from greece, the port of berry in southern italy. it's one of the number of ferry roots used by

migrants and refugees from countries like iraq, syria, and afghan extent. who risked their lives stowed away in hidden compartments on trucks? the crossing between different greek and italian ports can take between 9 and 30 hours. some di trying, others are discovered on board and handed to the italian police liber sana, john laura con data. leave your land. 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 patrol, we meet belushi from us gun a stand. his story is all the more significant because his documents show that he's a minor aged 17 the home on monday given him, i'd been here for 6 months and they said many games once i have under a refrigerated truck and it went inside the big ship. and when it arrived on the truck left the ship, i was found and arrested. they did not question me about seeking asylum. they did not take my fingerprints because they just put me inside a small room and sent me back to greece. it's not unusual for commercial fairies to have a small lock up room on board, sometimes used to secure unruly passengers. for instance, on this one, we found

a holding cell. the crew were heard to refer to as the prison line approach you now the upper viet deck, the base ferry, the shutters between the town, the boat of berry, and the bree. quotes are pa trusts and he believes such and yet, and the bow of the vessel is a metal box, angular, unprepossessing, a tool that is inside. there's nothing more than a sheet and cardboard on the floor. words identified as kurdish scrolled on the wall, but there illegible. responding to our investigation, the fairy company concerns said it fully complies with national and international law. actions, behaviors and practices such as these it wrote, have never taken place on any of its vessels. and confronted with the evidence, the bowery police commissioner denied italian complicity as well. you got all the elaborate from shawna d d to get char?

i wouldn't dare to say that doesn't happen. i've seen the pictures of that person handcuffed, but i don't know the context or where it took place. days though, along with the rituals you will learn about those things. and now my colleagues telling me that the police don't even get on the ship. this is an important point. we hand 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 full of char stuck to talk with. i am certain that the italian 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 these forced returns are illegitimate, but also that they take place without formal procedures with no record of what actually happened. in fact, the numbers are impossible to find out. 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 from 8 people who've been forcibly return from italy to greece in just the past 12 months. joan, a whole al jazeera in bowery, italy. let's bring in a danish mouse from cologne, germany. she's a senior research fellow at the max planck institute for comparative public and international law. welcome to the al jazeera news hour. if we can just pick up on what my colleague jo a whole was saying a moment ago, and that is that the italian government insisted this practice no longer insists. and we also heard from the responsible fairy company denying all allegations. what do you make of their response? so when we hear he a very credible allegations that the practices are in place. so in the report

that those are very serious violations of both of you and law and of been conventional human rights. and of course, the metro up evidence touch, what really happens and how many cases in which individual cases, that's a matter of erica report of research. but i can say as a lawyer, what we see here in the picture is what we hear from the test and the me really negation bed and serious lessons of law taking place from your knowledge of european migration law, what legal protections do the migrants have in this case in these cases who've undergone all this trauma. so we're talking while ations of the european commission goodman rides on the one hand, possibly, and on european union on the other. and for both national italian

law is the place where a procedure started, the national italian law must comply with european union law. must also implement all the requisites of the european convention. so if there are by a license like that, the procedure, i start with the italian court really, individuals who have suffered from such treatment would have to turn to italian course. or if there is the flex date of the ferry, for instance, could also be responsible. stayed, would it be fair to say that if they actually do turn to the national court, then the chance of success there is not very high? yes, and then that is what can happen after that once they've tried old domestic remedy . so the national chords, they can find an application to the european court of human rights. that's a long proceed to even get there having mastic remedies. but the european court of

human rights here is individual application for a possible violation of the convention. and that could, in that case, be the collective expulsion that might have taken place your individual where return without examining their individual circumstances. or it could be the article permission of in human and degrading treatments due to the conditions on the ferry . and it could also be the provisional intentions. so the, the tension without a proper legal basis could also be a violation. so there might be an avenue to the european court of human rights to what extent you think that they actually complicit here though. and where does the responsibility of european countries lie right now? yes, so for the european union, the case more complicated because there is a lot of legislation on your level which should all be just put into a national law. but there is no legal avenue of individuals directly to the

european court of justice. there is, however, a certain possibility of the commission to start an infringement procedure is that the provisions of your law structurally violated systematically repeatedly violated. and from that, we're here here that it's not a case of one or 2 incidences, but really a structural problem in the treatment of people arriving initially. so that would be a case where there is a possibility here on the part of the commission to act. so i do think that there's a certain political responsibility also of the u. s. a whole to, to change them the way we treat a rule of law mattress in the context of migration. really. ok, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us. from cologne, germany, dana smells, thank you. thank police in brazil have carried out raids on people suspected

of being involved in a storming of government buildings earlier this month. so police say they're looking to identify people who participated in or funded the ride on january the 8th supporters of the former right. when president geral scenarios were calling for october, the election results to be overturned. the vote saw both scenario defeated by the left as president luis in austria, lou that the silver, monica, anna kev, is covering the story for us. she's running us from rio, there's an error. so ha, how widespread is, is this? and what's the updates? monica? well so far, 4 people have been detained to day. they're accused of instigating what the brazilian government is calling an attempted co. they're being charged with trying to destroy democracy in brazil, which was just back of brazil ended its military regime in 1985. so

these 3 people, one of them is a truck driver. another person is a former, a public servant who was working for the government of former president valuable sonata, who is now in florida. and has been there since before lula inaugurated. because he did not want to pass on the presidential sash, and then there's a woman. they have been the proofs that they have against them is videos that they have posted on social media. one of them calling for the uprising and for the riots that happened on january the 8th, when the storm, the presidential palace, the congress and the supreme court, destroyed objects of very valuable and historical objects. destroyed all the windows and doors. they've been posting that also they were calling for blockades of oil refineries. so there's a lot going on, but they're still raids going on now, but so far for people have been detained. all right, monica,

thank you so much for that update from rio de janeiro. let's take you to the international space station live. take a look at this nasa astronaut, nicole man and japan, aerospace exploration agency. astronaut quote. she were kata are conducting the 1st space walk of 2023, but they're doing is they're installing parts of a solar array on the starboard side of the space station. it's all part of a series of modifications, that ain't to boost the power supply on board the i s s still ahead on the i'll just renews our travelling to see relatives for the 1st time in 3 years. hundreds of millions of china you had phone for the countryside to celebrate the lunar new year. a buzzer and theater for one of the biggest stars was it enough to help his team? when the answer is coming up with joe in sports. ah

ah. hi there. we've got quite this snow storm on our hands for the u. s. northeast, we're talking about states of main, vermont and new hampshire and the snow. also an issue for canada's maritime provinces, halifax, nova scotia. under a snowfall warning, you could pick up to 25 centimeters of snow. much calmer for the u. s. gulf states the se, but temperatures have slipped a bit here. showers and storms rolled through. so that's what called the down launch commer through california as well. up and down this state, we've got sunshine. so s f in los angeles. not bad, but los angeles. her temperature is a bit below average for this time of year. so what pitcher for central and northern areas of british columbia, rain and wind combo for hard to quite island on friday, up to central america, we go, it's also quiet here. a few showers getting steered into hundreds, nicaragua,

unprompted, and uninterrupted discussions. from our london broadcast center on our jazeera ah ah. hello again, the top floor is on the rooms. our defense ministers from 50 countries have been

meeting in germany to discuss the next steps and military support for ukraine. for us that have a lot of resilience is urging allies to send heavy weapons and bottle tanks. pro ukraine activists from serbia have filed criminal complaints against russia. wagner mercenary group, accusing it if recruiting served to fight and ukraine. serbian law prohibits citizens from participating in complex abroad. asylum seekers trying to reach europe describe being captain unofficial prisons when they are forcibly return from italy. the testimonies are part of an al jazeera investigation in partnership with lighthouse reports and other media. a prominent ones in journalists known for criticizing the government has died. john williams and twan lee was the editor of the chronicles. the newspaper says the journalist died in a traffic accident wednesday while writing a motorbike in the capital k golly. some human rights activists have raised

questions about the circumstances of his death. well, public and private companies in sierra leone now have to reserve 30 percent of their jobs for women in a bid to tackle gender imbalances. the law also guarantees women as these 14 weeks of maternity leave equal pay on training opportunities. companies will be fined if they fail to reach the quotas. sir leone is currently ranked 180 seconds out of 189 countries in the u. n. 2020 gender development index like a spencer coker is out of advocacy and movement building at purposeful that's a global organization promoting women's activism. she says the new law as a big step forward. we have a population that's 52 percent plus female, but a significantly less than that in terms of development will be an education or presence in the workforce. and it's,

it's to this governance credit that the political will, is there to do something about it. we, we know certain factors are represented and you know, better for women than others. right now we have a growing young population and culture of young people who are going heavily into entrepreneurship and looking at for themselves, finding jobs for themselves. but in terms of the form or where women are in terms of representation, the representation is grossly below 10 percent in terms of positions of leadership and, and governance. and that's the reason why this act, which has been decades in the making by the way, if so historic form, no, not just women, women, girls, it's area, but i t as a whole of this, this government has taken a position led by our president, that syrian cannot develop and be a middle income economy if it does not take the issue of the development of the

women, if it's women and girls as a top priority. and that's come to with, you know, legislation and policies to do with education. and now specifically in terms of ensuring the women's participation in both public and private life is addressed with positive measures to to change the current narrative that we do have abortion activists in the us are expected to gather for the annual march for life rally. it's been 50 years since the u. s. supreme court ruled on the case known as roe vs wade, giving women the constitutional right to abortion. and that was overturned last june when the court's conservative majority allowed states to set their own law was hi does. so castro reports on how access to abortion has changed. avante logan has had 5 abortions and says she's not ashamed. i'm proud of being able to

access abortion. i am proud of the abortions i've had, cuz i wouldn't be here today. nobody has an 11 year old daughter and no plans for more children. she juggles motherhood with a job. she says she loves any history of thinking. so for guiding other women through the abortion process at home women's health. an abortion clinic in charlottesville, virginia. it's not just a person having an abortion, it's a person speaking up and taking control for the rest of their life, how they thought and how they planned it. getting an abortion has been increasingly difficult in the united states since june. when the supreme court overturn roe v wade. now 6 months later, $24.00 states have banned abortions or are likely to do so. i truly didn't think that that right would be taken away from us. more than 34000000 women of reproductive age live in states where abortions are currently banned. that's forest

many to travel more than 2000 miles. to reach this clinic to pack up and drive across the country because you know, no one will see you, especially in a place like texas, where it's like 18 hours to get out of the state or more. stacy ballantine moved away from indiana after the state legislature passed and abortion band. she used to work for an abortion clinic there and would have wrist jail time if she'd stayed. now she works at whole women's health in virginia. i mean, it's crazy. there's no reason now we can't help people regardless of where we live in the midwest. illinois is among the few states where abortions remain protected. these women with the chicago abortion fund work to help women from abortion ban states, travel to illinois for the procedure. we provide logistical financial and emotional support. so helping a firm to folks that the on the difficulty for which right now it is to access

abortion, is not a reflection of the morality of their decision. i can also follow up with you via text message. despite these efforts, researchers estimate there were 10000 fewer legal abortions in the u. s. in the 1st 2 months after roe v wade fell anti abortion act of his say, that's a significant victory. and have vowed to pass more abortion restrict since the battle over abortions is playing out now in state legislatures and courtrooms affecting one of the most intimate decisions of a person's life. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera, charlottesville, virginia. but the us president joe biden says he has no regrets and what he called the misplaced documents controversy. some classified files have been discovered at his former office and at his home in delaware, and speaking, while visiting the state of forest fires in california. biden said, he hopes the issue will be resolved quickly. i think you're going to find,

there is 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 is no there. there are us judge has ordered plane manufacturer, boeing to face criminal charges in court next week, over 2 crashes of 737 mac stretch. it comes after some victim. families rejected a 2 and a half $1000000000.00 agreement negotiated by the firm to avoid prosecution. 346 people died and crashes and indonesia, in 2018 and in 2019 i count has more from washington d. c. well, this going back. that was in january 2021. when boeing reached the deal with the justice department in terms of which had paid $2500000000.00, including $500000000.00 towards the relatives of those killed, that appear to be that boeing was granted a relief from further prosecution for at least a 3 year period,

that was the same texas court in which the relatives then in october last year, brought another case to the judge. arguing that they should have been notified of the deal before it was agreed to the judge and this is back in october, agreed at that particular point saying as well that those killed in those crashes were victims of a crime. making very clear in his opinion that there was a criminal action. now in his judgement today, the judge has repeated this particular point. and in addition, has now called on boeing to send a representative to be arraigned in the texas courthouse on the 26th of january. in other words, the judge is saying, you have criminal charges to answer. you have got to come before me so i can tell you what those charges are and you will plead whether you are innocent or guilty of these charges. and charlton is a managing director of ation advocacy, and he says the decision that boeing active fraudulently is quite unusual. i think

the allegation is that when boeing went through the process of getting regulatory approval from the federal aviation authority, it, it said things to the if i weren't true, which is for which one i guess it, it gave claims as to what was available in the crop what the systems were able to do, and more importantly, what was and what wasn't included in those systems. and so i think that's become, i think that's the point on which all of this will turn. that's the, that's proper because in truth, i think that he's the real not of the issue, whether it stays all the way through the appeals process, i think becomes a lot more complicated because there's issues for borrowing in the way it's working, of course. but there's also a broader policy issue as to how often and under what circumstances company should be accused of criminal criminal proceedings rather than, than civil proceedings. in the,
