iraq's war on meth with yalda hakim. a hunt is under way. basra police, on the back of a tipoff, think they've found their target. a suspect they believe has been dealing in the highly addictive and illegal drug, crystal meth. kidnapping, extortion,

organised crime are already part of daily life here in basra, iraq's second city. now there's a new threat, crystal meth. i've been invited tojoin the police frontline. this is the elite force that goes out every night on raids to try and crack down on organised crime in this city. they think the suspect is inside. major mithak is leading the raid. with him, officers from the counter—narcotics unit and swat team. injust two years, police have made more than 4,000 drug—related arrests. at police headquarters,

they're keen to show off the results of their efforts. today, hundreds of suspects are being paraded in front of the cameras. the police want to show the local media, and i suppose the community, the arrests they've made and the progress they're making to crackdown on crime in basra. general abdul karim is leading that effort. a war veteran, he recently returned to basra from the fight against isis in the north of iraq. 0k, we're going to go and meet some people whose been arrested. wow, 0k.

when did you arrest these guys? where were these guys arrested? police say consumption of meth has been doubling year—on—year. so you found all these weapons? that's crystal meth. how many grams? 0ne. 1g. so why has crystal meth taken hold in this city? weak border security has meant drugs have flooded into the country, and economic collapse with youth

unemployment at almost 50% means there's a ready market for the drug. after years of war, occupation and insurgency, the locals here had hoped their city would become the next dubai. but there are no skyscrapers here, just high unemployment, crime and corruption. at basra general hospital, psychiatrist doctor al sabbagh has been seeing more patients come forward with meth addiction. what is the scale of the problem?

in 2015, the iraqi government, together with the us department of health, ran a study looking at addiction in basra. there were once high hopes for iraq's second city. oil production in basra province generates 95% of the country's oil wealth. but most residents don't see any of that. this is jumhuriyah, one of the poorest most densely populated parts of town. most of the young people here haven't finished school, they're out of work. jumhuriyah is notorious for gangs and drug dealing. shallal rady, who is

21, has never worked. so do you feel safe here? what about drug users? hello, how are you? nice to see you. i went to see shallal‘s family. salaam—alaikum... they're struggling to get by without electricity or any clean water. his father has serious health issues.

what do you think about iraq now in comparison to what it was like when saddam was in power? the swat team are on the move again. this city is awash with weapons left over from the war and the fight against isis. the team are looking for their second target. young men of the house

are hauled out of their rooms. but the man they are after is missing. what has happened? it is hard to ignore basra's crippled infrastructure. addicts live in these impoverished districts where crystal meth addiction flourishes. many addicts and dealers end up here at this prison. this man is the deputy governor. what are the issues you face here? prison authorities have had

to expand detention centres to cope with the numbers of addicts and dealers. major, this is one of the rooms? how many people in this room? and this is a combination of drug dealers and drug users? yeah. you just keep them all here together in one room? yeah. i am taken deep into the prison to see what the conditions are like for those who have been convicted. quite overwhelming.

i mean, i've been to many prisons in many parts of the world but to see these people just crammed into here, they take shifts sleeping so one person will sleep and one person will stay up all night and then they swap. it is incredible. i mean, the conditions are really bad. do they go out at all? what kind of drugs did you have? crystal. how did you start using crystal meth?

what about your family? what were they seeing? your wife didn't know? ali hammoud has already served ten months of a five—year sentence for dealing.

how did you become a dealer? and did your family know you were dealing? sobs the drugs trade has been driven

partly by the security vacuum left when forces were sent to fight isis in the north of the country. general abdul karim wants to show me the smuggling route. general, where are we going? but with so much security here, general, how were they able to get

across the border? the porous border here between iraq and iran means the southern province has become a prime smuggling route. back injumhouria, i've come to the shisha bar to catch up with 21—year—old shallal who i met earlier. i am meeting up with his friends who are all angry with the government in baghdad. what about drug abuse?

it is 3:00 in the morning and the swat team are honing in on theirfinal target in jumhouria. meth addiction is fuelling crime in the city. and it is young men mostly who are the perpetrators. 15 years after the fall of saddam hussein, iraq is in a fragile and perilous state. with all the attention on the fight

against isis in the north, basra and the predominantly shia south feels forgotten. and it is the young who are paying the price. another iraqi generation at risk of being lost. the weather has been quite

changeable. heavy rain the many places on friday but saturday was a different story to many places and this was the story in norfolk. more cloud was rolling into western parts of the country as the low approaches from the atlantic. you can see low— pressure from the atlantic. you can see low—pressure system pushing into western parts of the country and on sunday and that continues its progression further east and many will see rain and the warm front heading east and the cold front following behind so this is a cold front producing weighing in southern and south—eastern parts of england, but it will be slow—moving through much of the day. a return to sunshine from the west but also heavy showers for parts of wales and the south west of england and be odd

rumble of thunder. temperatures up to 20-22. rumble of thunder. temperatures up to 20—22. most of the heavy showers will move to into the new working wa ke will move to into the new working wake into monday morning, a few showers lingering for scotland. temperatures typically in the mid—teens so relatively mild. during monday we have high pressure trying to edge in, a ridge of high pressure for a time from the atlantic low— pressure for a time from the atlantic low—pressure clearing off towards the east but slow—moving heavy showers still possible across parts of scotla nd showers still possible across parts of scotland and eastern england. with the ridge of high pressure building on the south—west it should be mostly drive the likes of northern ireland and the south—west of england lost up temperatures up to around 23, but a bit cooler for the north of scotland. heading onto tuesday, we are set to see another front heading to the west of the country and rain at times for parts of northern ireland and into scotla nd of northern ireland and into

scotland and north—west scotland, but not a bad day. warmer than recently and we could see 25 in the south—east. heading into the middle pa rt south—east. heading into the middle part of the week, weather fronts coming from the atlantic, and where we see the kink in those weather fronts we see the rain developing more so heavy bursts for northern ireland on wednesday and into scotland, but england and wales probably staying largely dry. with the south—westerly breeze it will be another warm day and we could see highs of around 26 in norwich. looking to the latter part of the week, thursday, the cold front will have edged its way to the south and a few spots of rain for south—east of england. temperatures pegged back a bit by the time you get to thursday. sunshine and showers in the north west. thejet thursday. sunshine and showers in the north west. the jet stream thursday. sunshine and showers in the north west. thejet stream has thursday. sunshine and showers in the north west. the jet stream has a bit of a king in

the north west. the jet stream has a bit ofa king in it the north west. the jet stream has a bit of a king in it initially but that should clear away, another kink will sit out towards the north—west and so we are looking at next weekend now and that means cooler and fresher conditions for the north and fresher conditions for the north and west of the uk but slightly milder in the south—east. late next week and be on next weekend at the slight high pressure will start to edge infamy atlantic so that should settle down in the south —— edge in from the. more unsettled was the north—west of the country but the computer models are hinting that we could see the high pressure bringing calmer and more settled weather.
