also coming up shady dealings the world's biggest banks athlete center of illegal transactions worth some 2 trillion dollars an investigation reveals financial institutions facilitated corruption and money laundering on behalf of criminals and the emmy's like no other no red carpet no live audience the pool empty of hazmat suits the penn demis went virtual and the biggest triumph of the night belonged to the watchman who won again and again while the h.b.o. drama took home a love of the emmys but when you wrap up. ally lark thank you so much for your company everyone european union foreign ministers have failed to agree on a package of punitive measures against bell of russian officials leaving the final . cision now to be made by national leaders at

a meeting later this week while the bloc had identified 40 officials that it believes are behind violence against anti-government protesters and for their role in the elec toward fraud during last month's presidential election. russian opposition leader was there to step up calls for action but cyprus has so far blocked those sanctions efforts are right let's this is breaking news basically we're just getting this in right now let's get you more on this with my colleague barbara basell who is in brussels where that meeting is set to and nikolay who is in minsk for your barber want to go to you 1st. what tell us what has been decided . nothing had been decided that problem because because after 6 weeks of demonstrations of peaceful demonstrations in belarus and constant promises off the

european foreign ministers they would now put sanctions against the put on sanctions against the regime and minsk after discussions on and on endless debates about how this was to be done and when it was to be done and so on and so forth we get nothing from them in the end so everybody over there in the council building where the ministers are still sitting should probably be hanging their heads in shame and it is not easy for them to go out to the public was this message because it shows that european foreign policy more or less is completely ineffective it is it can be blocked by just a single country cyprus as you mentioned because cyprus a has 2 reasons one is that they are really very good friends with russia and the other reason is that they want to connect these sanctions to a 2nd sanction package against turkey in protest against the drilling activities in the eastern mediterranean so this is the blockage that could again not be sauf

today and then we'll go to the summit meeting of the hits heads of state and government on thursday here in brussels and all this is not good news just very briefly is just to explain to our viewers watching right now basically no decision can be made a less it's unanimous is that is that correct. that is the problem everybody i'm going to america the german chancellor and of course the e.u. commission president in her latest speech just last week is calling for in majority qualified majority decisions in the future in the european council meetings was the ministers because nothing moves they know this there's no in this fall while and so they are stuck again and the hurdle in this case is cyprus and they could not be moved over the weekend lots of behind the scenes talks bought cyprus is just holding out now next going to you i imagine this is a setback for the anti-government protesters in minsk and in belarus at large.

well live that is definitely being followed by analysts here in belarus and of all countries should be cyprus to block these sanctions that is something they are obviously. cyprus haven for dirty money not only from belarus russia ukraine the whole region here lots of suspicion as to why cyprus would want to put a damper on the sanctions but i think most people here believes actually following this diplomatic minutiae quite so carefully the new speech here in belarus are all about detentions people in government functions some quite high ranking leaving their jobs they don't want to stay with this regime so i think that domestic agenda is a bit more day to day less the big diplomatic picture and more of the of the basically incarceration and you have sanctions being put on people by the regime itself here in belarus i think most people are just waiting for a symbolic step this is all about the e.u. showing that it's an attention to you doesn't really have a very strong hand doesn't have very many leaves to put pressure on this regime

this is a regime that has come under sanctions time and time again and has basically seen those sanctions withdrawn without them doing much in return so the fact that the european union refused to accept the results of that rigged election early august that is the crucial thing here to see more sex would help but people are not expecting that somehow that you can wave a magic wand and somehow pull selection coaching gage into dialogue with the opposition here and now barber going back to you in brussels so they basically kick the can down the road position leader was there in brussels that she not make a convincing case. she made a very convincing case as she talked to the e.u. foreign ministers this morning over breakfast that of course in itself this meeting was a sort of symbolic step they try to show their support for her and her cause in the cause of the opposition by meeting her in this way however they couldn't then they will simply not able and many among them very frustrated not to take the step to

the 2nd step and of course as nick said this is a symbolic act but snetterton politics and again if cyprus which is not only a haven for dirty money from russia but it's also a haven for for russians to sort of get european passports and sort of get away from the system from the regime in moscow and sort of stay in the e.u. . only cyprus brock's this it just throws a light on the state of european front policy that is not favorable i did. so in brussels for you in it calmly in minsk thank you both. and we want to tell you now about a banking scandal of huge proportions a cache of documents just refuse revealed rather show that for years banks around the world have helped divert and conceal criminal funds all the documents leaked

from the us treasury department appear to show how banks helped to circumvent international sanctions including those against iran and syria danish and british banks as well as germany's dortch of bank are among those implicated. all over the world criminals are using the global financial system to launder money it's a dirty but lucrative business for the banks. if a bank notices a suspicious transfer it has to report it to the authorities. thousands of such reports were of time by by fake news and then evaluated by the i.c.i. jai. it's an international network of investigative journalists. they have discovered evidence of money laundering worth $2.00 trillion dollars. you could earn a lot by handling money from criminal sources. that's why it's hard for banks to

say no to criminal money. in germany bank has some explaining to do the country's largest banks already had to pay millions in fines in $27.00 tane after dodgy dealings in russia. the investigation reveals that those illegal activities a much more extensive than previously thought russian criminals used torture banks musk i branched along the millions the current c o christian saving served as head of corporate order thing at the time he did not raise the alarm but subsequent external investigations deed starts a bank says it is since toughened its internal controls and it denies that c.e.o.'s saving did anything wrong it says he was unaware of the external probe. yeah i know i know how it is she founded a unit that led these investigations is what we're not paying you next to what we have since been external investigations to us and at no stage could any

responsibility be traced back to the head of the business to the concerns of it and the fun for to listen to the conservatives who have no interest in the investigation also shows that us president donald trump may have profited from dirty money all agog from kazakstan allegedly bought a pot mint at the trump new york property with laundered money trumps company denies knowing who these customers were but they did make money from the transactions. the investigation shows the scale of international money laundering efforts to curb it a floundering because regulators can't get to grips with highly sophisticated criminal. net worths. all these revelations has this sent a shock waves to the banking sector let's get you more now on these developments so with the greg he's senior market analyst at online trading platform a wind up in london greg good to have you here with us 1st of all what kind of impact will these revelations have on the banking sector if at all

i'm still not so sure i don't think it's going to have too great an impact i think these revelations as they stand and of course the situation may evolve more details may emerge that will changed up but nothing that i'm really hearing here looks to draw stick in that we know that there's always going to be payments in the banking system which all going to be illicit we know that there's always going to be suspicious transactions it's the procedures of imports in place to try and highlight them and try and deal with them but we also know that the controls don't really exist to stop it entirely that it's always going to be kind of fighting against the tides kind of situation. as the report will be alluded to is a highly intelligent mechanisms which are in place in all those trying pos this money throughout the financial system many of these banks have put in place almost

controls in old to try and in order to try and highlight the move the coarseness spends a lot of money and builds all these teams over the course of the last decade and all to try and combine and even still live in this situation right we're in the situation and it's actually quite concerning what you you just mentioned there that it's kind of more or less expected that illicit dealings do take place because we're not just talking about a little bank here or there we're talking about deutsche bank implicated in a major way also h.s.b.c. and j.p. morgan i mean how is that possible is there no regulation at all. i don't think it's necessarily a case of nerve regulation i just don't think the they still have the expertise the an old it's troy and a highlight it really and also prevents it in a timely manner and i think that's always going to be the difficulty with some of the not this this is still with the visibility that they actually currently have

it's no surprise that many of these old pharmacies are so concerned about something like big coding somewhere where they have close to 0 visibility if any at all because these all of these networks solving credibly proficiency and therefore does make this kind of the extremely difficult unlike say this is with complies departments which have been beefed up over the course of the last decade it just goes to show that more and more we're going to have to see these teams working with the relevant all thought seasonals try and combat it but i don't think at this point have a going to be in a situation at least not for the forseeable future we're going to see a combusted in silence i grant carolyn most senior market analyst at online trading platform i want to and want to thank you for joining us. on i want to tell you some a corner related stories making headlines around the world. hundreds of pilot whales have become stranded along the west coast of the australian island of tasmania government scientists say it appears that dozens of the animals have
