caravan sneaking towards the united states to flee their homes in central america. and the explosive devices in france to eastern ukraine school more battlefields as a fragile peace sticks so to do the job you joins the people working inch by inch to make the region safe again. hello and welcome i'm on with that shima italy is well known for its fruit and vegetable industry in europe but aid groups it is also a dark underbelly to this new creative sector this is a migrant labor used to own some of the agricultural farms are working under extreme the exploitative conditions in each of these latino region the allegations that organized crime gangs are preying on food because from india did. brad went

there to investigate. the now and a half from rome the villas hidden behind these high walls and hedges are vacation homes for well off italians but there's also shadow side to this fertile region the projects grown here is sold in supermarkets throughout europe but the laborers who harvest the fruits and vegetables earn only a few euros per hour some of them have come from as far away as india. singh has been working in latina for twelve years he's one of nearly eight hundred thousand sikhs from punjab working in this region friends from his village back home who told him he could earn good money in italy's agriculture sector he knew life here wouldn't be easy but he found it so challenging at the beginning but he often considered returned to india. for the. gold jewelry belonging to my wife and sister to pay for the trip here. i thought

i'd earned the money back quickly and retrieve the jewelry. was a better reason to pay off the loan we had to sell the gold instead. of always almost everyone who comes here goes through the same thing. reality is very different from what we expected. the living and working conditions are for miserable the official minimum wage is about nine euros the farmers pay less than a third of that many indians work seven days a week during harvest time up to twelve to thirteen hours a day. we were free in india i had my own business. so i could come to work late and gone home early if i had better things to do here is different here you're only paid for the areas you work. but i'm doing better than others. seeing his paid off his debts so he no

longer has to share a small flat with four or five other workers as he did before most are too afraid to speak on camera investigators say the laborers are trapped in the illegal jobs at the mercy of criminal gangs emerge or each of them have paid thousands of euros to people smugglers in exchange for forged papers and passage to italy as a result many inductors laborers who need years to get out of debt analysts say this practice is widespread throughout italy and grow better leaving me to return to the farm workers take drugs like amphetamines opium and muscle relaxants especially at the beginning to cope with the punishing work conditions. your young kids prostitution. imagine being bent over picking radishes for fourteen hours a day with a boss standing over you saying you know work work or work or your. contribution

. your body and soul would burn out pretty fast in maine pretty investigators say the racket involves middlemen who seek out laborers then keep part of their wages and dictate their work hours all of which is illegal in italy. and there's hardly a business in the agricultural sector that isn't part of the system one of the biggest radish producers in europe allowed us to film on their premises we confront the head of the company with the allegations about the middlemen and exploitation of their workers. to none of that's true that contradicts our company philosophy. if we found anyone was doing this we would fire them immediately and we get i mean we're not among the firms that exploit their workers it's. not proper benefits or even then. the union workers insist that this company also pacing. slavers below

the minimum wage and that middle men act if they're too it's one person's word against another the workers themselves won't comment they want to keep their job check sheets saying was able to bring his wife and children to italy a few months ago in the evenings other laborers come for dinner including men who've lived here for years in the hope of bringing sami's here despite the difficulties they say they're determined to stay because the money they earn in italy is still far more than what they'd be paying in india. and joining me from india scaurus one from the city of mumbai you know you've reported on the story in the past just how widespread an issue is this under to find out how widespread this is i mean if you were to jump on drug your car like i did and drive through miles and miles of farmlands and latino you can spot an indian

walker almost in every single farm of course estimates vary depending on who you speak to government authorities jayanti is up with the numbers differently some say but it could well be a few thousand others it's tens of thousands because remember it's really hard to estimate this number because many of them are in italy illegally but apart from the quantity of aspect of the story it's the quality of the bomb which is really heartbreaking when you speak to as i did our men from of the punjab these are young men in their twenty's who are now drugs it is a really heartbreaking story when you speak to them and her of their testimonies and what are the italian authorities doing about the situation there. so they are very much in the north the problem because i spoke to the mayor of latina i also spoke to the police chief and i was there and and both of them seem to agree that this is a really serious problem but this here been only two options one is reading

a lot of these farms and asking of the farm workers to be deported the ones who are there illegally and working on venice programs of course off camera a lot of people aunts insisted that actually the business model in latino would collapse if indian farm workers were to be paid more than three euros four hour which is the rate that a lot of farm workers are paid but activists say that's complete nonsense and that's often used as an excuse by businesses there to continue to exploit our farm workers from india. ok so what given all of this what are the future prospects for indian migrants who work on these farms. in the future. or to be very frank with you seems pretty bleak because we know that this problem exists activists have been working very hard to raise the profile of this serial just a few months ago i spoke to a few activists who said that they organized the impromptu demonstration where lots

of sikh men were back illegally were brave enough to come out and protest in front of the government offices but nothing seems to have worked and many of them say that they have even made their voices heard indian authorities but that hasn't gone anywhere right liquor in mumbai thank you. thousands of central american migrants making their way to the united states have paused to rest and mourn after several died on the journey almost two weeks on the move the group of migrants is now in the town off weeks in southern mexico that's more than a thousand kilometers from the u.s. border the u.n. estimates around seven thousand people are involved with hundreds more now following from guatemala towards the mexican border the issue has become fiercely political in the united states with president trump promising to keep the migrants out of the country but just why are they freeing their homes here small. the

road to a new life has few comforts and for this group of central american migrants a small ledge on a moving car brings much needed relief. the trip has also been long and hard for this second group of migrants that's been walking since saturday their plan is to get to mexico across the border more than seven thousand people according to u.n. estimates are slowly advancing toward the united states a journey most wish they didn't have to make. sure no one comes. from the drug the way. better to for a better life there's not one tickle better than what political leverage the more. we are suffering for our families. for our children. the wholly on the force our children to work. they kill or care if we don't obey.

it's a bloody and brutal life they've left behind. in honduras gang violence is commonplace with kidnappings and extortions reported regularly. in el salvador the security situation is just as dire. huge drug busts like this one are a common occurrence but it's the alleged collusion between government and organized gangs that has people leaving the country in droves the un refugee agency is calling on the global community to pull its weight to address the issue and the responsibilities that all countries have along this route is really the same individuals fleeing persecution and violence need to be given access to territory and to refugee status determination or procedures. but the reaction from the u.s.

has been less than welcoming. armload letting them in and are coming in they're not coming in to do whatever we have to they're not coming and the threats have done little to dissuade these migrants intent on getting to the u.s. border for many. it's better to die here than to go back there. nobody thought that. list article or get some other stories making news around the wild e.u. council president obama to scuttle the european parliament on wednesday he was ready to call for a special breaks of summit whenever negotiators are ready he spoke at a meeting of the european parliament in strasbourg france he also says the u.k. could be granted an extension for the brics a transition period if requested by london. hurricane wilma has hit the pacific coast of mexico as a category three storm packing winds of nearly two hundred kilometers per hour

a problem that's expected to get worse as displaced people slowly return to their homes our correspondent nick connelly has been to meet the people behind the dangerous and painstaking efforts to clear those mines. it may look calm now but just a few years ago these fields saw intense fighting between ukrainian government troops and russian backed separatists. over and over again the front lines shifted each time the retreating troops left mines and booby traps behind them. it is now up to civilians to pick up the pieces halo trust is an international ngo and the world's largest humanitarian mine clearance organization. the challenges it faces in ukraine are unlike any other conflict on. the i don't know what makes you queen different is that we have a real problem with trip wire traps our organisation hasn't come across anything like them in other countries our experts have had to come up with new ways of

dealing with them. it's back breaking work. a grenade and a trip wire that's all it takes a few summers after the traps were laid the weeds have grown tall making them almost impossible to spot clearing these traps is as much about touch as it is about sight. there's no way of predicting how far you'll get in there it all depends on the vegetation. sometimes you'll manage twenty metres in a day sometimes it'll be just ten fifty years our priority and all of this in the distance the shooting continues the current frontline is just a few kilometers away. these people are searching for anti tank mines the anti-personnel mine so characteristic of conflicts from yemen to mozambique a less widespread in ukraine. it takes one hundred fifty kilograms to set off this

kind of empty tank mine so a person on foot wouldn't be enough. but a tractor very definitely would. this may be a war zone but the rhythms of the farming you continue this is all that's left of the tractor the silky seed of was using to plough back in twenty fifteen. soldiers had told him that the field was safe. i lost consciousness when i came around i saw that i was on fire so i tried to get out of the tractor but i couldn't they pulled me out through the back window and then put the fire out. of the photo for us when i woke up in hospital they told me that only one mine had gone off one more of them underneath me and when they came to get me out of the tractor they had to drive over the mines to. my seal sustained eighty percent burns on his legs three years and several operations later he's still in

chronic pain it's not clear whether or not he'll ever be able to work again. back at the site they found a grenade that's failed to go off n.g.o.s like halo trust aren't allowed to dispose of ordinance themselves instead they must wait for the military to collect them and that can take weeks. ten twenty or sometimes just five meters a day the progress here is painstaking no one can say with any certainty how long it will take to find all the mines that were laid in the chaos of the early stages of the war but left untouched these mines have the potential to maim and kill the people of this region for decades to go. nasa cameras flying over antarctica discovered that you should cite a perfectly rick tangle or iceberg is floating off the ice loss and sea ice strip assigned to say the icebergs rare shape and sharp angles show it is likely to have

markets and joins us now from london michael do you share that scio's optimism that budget will show a full year profit. here good morning i think you'll be progress if i close the loss and certainly having come off the back of three years of losses it does look as if the bank will post a profit all be a small one but i think the rest a sense of the chief finance found financial officer to talk about bonuses was telling if you're going to have a fairly decent year you're going to have fairly decent profits why be shy about talking about this is i think his reticence to do so suggests they have some doubts and you talk of the c.e.o. of all the let's talk about the c.e.o. questions even do you think he's doing a good job with the shape or is it just too early to say. i think he's i think it's too early to say i think when you actually look at how long he's in been he's been in position he inherited a complete mess and it's really going to take quite some time frame to sort hell

the mess that was left behind at the moment there doesn't appear to be any clear strategy yes he is looking to pay down the headcount from the current ninety four thousand to around about ninety thousand but i think he needs to do much more and i also think that he needs to really decide on a business strategy for the future as opposed to for the past you mentioned the mess that he an inherited who inherited the mess from i mean how long does this go by. i think this goes back a very long time if you look at the sec the pay is full of shit bank companies like j.p. morgan morgan stanley even bought place for example here in the united kingdom they are much further down the progress path in terms of restructuring their businesses than deutsche bank and all and also many i think it's going to take at least another two or three days of difficult restructuring before deutsche bank can show that is turn the corner and what do you think are the major issues that he has to

deal with we've learned that i.t. is one of them is there any anything else that you would point to. but i think that's the case thing i think i think he's looking too much a legacy business investment banking domestic banking domestic banking is very low margin given the fact the comus bank has just been kicked out of the or stocks fifty and we've been replaced by a fin tech i think he. really needs to focus on digital payments infrastructure a and really i think look at digital banking which is really i think taking place over here if you look at h.s.b.c. in the u.k. their online bank first direct is very competitive and it's very low cost and i think that really is the model the bank needs to be leaning towards going forward. michael hewson from c.m.c. markets thank you very much for joining us today thank you. cuba imports most of the food it consumes but sugar was never really on the company's shopping list but

now for the first time in history cuba had to import forty thousand tons of sugar in just three months the communist island nation once was world leader and shovel production cane sugar was accounted for seventy five percent of cuban export and now it is shipped in from far away from its police you know borrow quickly noticed a curious turn of events when produced from cane as in cuba sugar tends to be brownish but the french version comes from beets and is white yes i'm becky. anderson the sugar in the now been arriving is good it's very sweet not very different from cuban sugar that's the main difference is the color of. cuba's sugar industry was once the flagship of the arms of cultural exports fidel castro cutting sugar canes after the revolution illustrated the france importance to the nation.

the soviet union used to buy most of cuba sugar after the fall of communism in europe trade figures dwindled as did investments in seeds and fertilisers. more recently last year's hurrican devastated large parts of the country the subsequent harvest was one eighth of the size of nine hundred ninety. yet. there's a lack of resources and a lack of money but i believe that there are also structural and organizational factors so the thought of whether what it was. and most of what does get harvested has to be shipped abroad mostly to china due to longstanding contracts. to meet domestic demand forty thousand tons of french sugar were imported in the second quarter alone symbolizing a broader change sugar is no longer cuba's lifeline. tourism and remittances from emigrants are now the major driving forces of the un's economy.
