no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d.w. . your minds. this is the news live from berlin international medical supplies begin arriving in india emergency equipment and oxygen could relieve overstretched hospitals and clinics states been forced to close their doors to patients as deaths and new infections keep search also coming as germany's vaccine rollout slowly accelerates chancellor angela merkel says

a vaccination could be offered to every adult from june but what does that mean for those with a job and for those with ups. present and intimidated by their male compact shirts who say they're breaking the rules here is why the section women in here now face europe for trying to interact. and the cat is officially out of the bag. will leave are sick to join by a music next season but he could be coming with a very very hefty price tag. and welcome to the program the 1st foreign emergency supplies are arriving in india as a battles a catastrophic wave of covert 90 on tuesday india registered well over 300000 new

cases for a 6th consecutive day hospitals and clinics have been forced to turn away patients due to shortages of everything from beds to oxygen the scenes have been described as beyond heartbreaking. once a parking lot this crematorium is now the final destination for hundreds of victims of covert 19. 50 percent of deaths are not registered by the government as covert 19. are n.g.o.s goes to the homes of victims of coven $1000.00 who died in quarantine and brings them here to be cremated the government only counts covered $1000.00 related deaths the victims who die in the hospital and all others are unaccounted for. while the pyres burn day and night help from around the world is on the way. in new delhi ventilators and other medical supplies arrive from abroad. elsewhere tanks full of oxygen rush through the night for patients in desperate need. german chancellor angela merkel says it's just the beginning.

above all else we will see what we can do to help india we are now working at full speed to see to what extent we can bring oxygen producing plants there. all of europe is behind this i also spoke about this with the portuguese prime minister who no holds the european council presidency and we want to do everything we can to help india. the united states has pledged to send in via some of its millions of unused vaccine doses but it could take weeks before they arrive. so just to be clear we have right now we have 0 doses available of us or seneca we're talking about what the f. the f.d.a. needs to go through a review right to ensure the safety and it's meeting our own bar and our own guidelines. for health workers in the country's overwhelmed hospitals that help can't come soon enough. what do i do. what do i do that is open because these

people can money whatever support we can they're trying to organize a big summit of the. good movie. because they would even have somebody out there for somebody that can endure somebody's death in court what are. we going to have anything to ever live in a prison for being. on the front lines against covert 19 doctors and patients are measuring time and breaths not days or weeks. are not joined by all minority bogies a german member of parliament a deputy head of the german indian parliamentary friendship group what difference do you hope germany's help will be able to make and i make this all we're in a moment when everybody and made to pick 7 minutes or so or you to help our friends and you know as a friend but it's not always that you know being helpful it's also. that we know that if you're not hell we won't actually primary in our own state this is why it's

absolutely necessary that germany helps and what we're doing these days what argument unknowns this is that just the beginning i just can't repeat that and maybe siegel help which is affordable should be given today to be given the event how much difference do you think that the help will make is it enough what we're sending over. i think that germany should get what ever it's possible i don't think that it's a question of negotiate and talk to our indian friends but to be honest at the end of the day it's heidi orton that the government also ensures that super spreader you rants just stop and this is not what happened for the last weeks and months that in too many festivals too many super activities and then any went which of course were not that helpful and yet today it's affecting us but the kind of equipment and i think oxygen systems for example where is it coming from that's

germany have enough surplus to shatt. did have you know what it meant in this country that question of personnel we would be a locking out when you look at people who are in hospitals there are there is not a lot of ventilators the lack of people of nurses for example so we have to share and we would accept a suit from from you know. last week i spoke to a doctor from india who runs 15 different clinics there and he said to me that lots of the problem wasn't necessarily the supply but the supply chains they stuff that is needed is that it doesn't get to the hospitals what are you doing about that we know that there are some inefficient structure in the country but there we see that all of this with the spread of iran's and all of the hotspots are now and in the metropolitan areas and this is what we are accepting that the help america can be

supplied as it think this is a major issue it's just all just started centered in daily and go and cities like mumbai and the wanted it to rule areas after all manner of a member of parliament and deputy head of german indian parliamentary friendship group thank you thank you. let's turn now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world dozens of protesters of stage to brief march for a 2nd day running in we are muslims a city young gone demonstrations against the military takeover have continued despite a bloody crackdown more than 750 people have been killed by security forces since the start of said. lawyers for the family of a black man killed by police in the us state of north carolina i've seen a video clip of his desk they say it shows andrew brown had his hands on his cast steering wheel when he was shot in the back of it protesters are demanding that the

police officers body camera footage be made public. u.s. vice president carla harris has announced a $310000000000.00 aid package to central america after a virtual meeting with the president of guatemala and the foreign minister pedro brawler said the 2 nations would create a joint task force to control migration and help unite unaccompanied children with their parents. the u.s. has launched a spy satellite into space from california the satellite lifted off monday afternoon from the vandenberg air force base on a delta 4 heavy rocket the national reconnaissance office will use the classified payload for intelligence gathering. this time now to germany where an initially slow vaccine rollout is beginning to pick up pace chancellor angela merkel says she expects that from june anyone who wants to make an appointment for

a job will be able to do so comments came after a meeting with the 16 state premiers to discuss the vaccination drive. chancellor angela merkel dubbed it a meeting of hope the situation in germany remains serious with daily call in 1000 cases still alarmingly high and the number of coronavirus patients in intensive care still growing but the vaccination drive is picking up speed so much so that germany may soon be able to offer vaccines to everyone not only those at high risk . the whole we expect the people in the high priority group will be vaccinated by the end of may. that means that depending on how many vaccine doses we get we can abandon the priority list as of june at the latest. this is not mean that everyone can be vaccinated immediately but that everyone can make an appointment. after

a slow start during the 1st few months of the year now around 23 percent of germany's population has received the 1st dose that's thanks to an increase in the liveries more reliable supply chains and family doctors now also administering the shot. with more and more people vaccinated the debate on whether they should enjoy more freedom from restrictions is also mounting chancellor merkel said the government is preparing legislation to ease some measures those who have been fully vaccinated or those who have recovered from colvin 1000 should be exempted from having to get tests to go to non-essential shops or from quarantining after returning from abroad they would still however have to continue following mask and social distancing rules. and i think that's unfair a more nuanced solution must be found. it is absolutely clear to me that people who have been vaccinated must get their basic rights back it's not a question of whether they get special rights but that they can live normally again

. i think it's good but it's a pity that it's not my turn yet but her turn. and may not be far off chance america's promise to offer every adult in germany a vaccine by the end of the summer seemed impossible to many only a few weeks ago now hopes are high that her pledge will be met. to see if that is justified i'm now joined by my colleague shaphan on why have merck and the state premiers not been able to agree on what freedoms vaccinators people can actually enjoy. well get heard over the last few months in this pandemic we've seen many of these meetings between merkel and the state premiers that have really dragged on long into the night there's been a lot of controversy it's been very hard to find consensus and it's almost like yesterday they decided they were going to stick with the good news and avoid the controversy and of course in the run up to the meeting it become clear that the

most controversial topic on the agenda at that meeting was the lifting of restrictions for those that have been vaccinated and so in the end there was only a sort of vague announcement that those who've been vaccinated should be given at least equal rights to those that have tested negative but any concrete decisions any concrete announcement have been pushed further down the road for now and now you have to bear in mind that infections are still inching up here in germany and that national lockdown law only just came into effect on saturday also resort in that report it's only just over 70 percent 7 percent excuse me of people who have been vaccinated here so that's still a relatively small number so in a way you could say it's it might be a bit too soon to already start this cussing what they will be able to do again is the pressure growing to release groups of people like the vaccinated fully vaccinated ones or the ones who have received the 1st shots to release them from

those directions. well yes and no in a way of course the move people get vaccinated the more the demand for them to get some of their freedoms back and the economy needs it badly too of course but in a way it makes the decision easier to of course do you know the mitten more people get vaccinated the most support you have to ease the restrictions on them and there's also an argument that those who have been reluctant to get vaccinated so far that may push them and to finally agree or. be reeling to have the job but of course the did this whole debate may be short lived if i'm going to america is right and and come june all of the old germans are able to get a vaccine or at least apply for a vaccine it will of course take some time until they're all fully vaccinated and then you know we may reach that herd immunity that critical point sooner than we thought and we may all be able to enjoy more freedoms again you know on the shelves

and the zones and. to brazil now across the country the pandemic has devastated many communities of the coastal city of mari come rio de janeiro has managed to stave off hard times as events there was even universal basic income an interest free loans of the fall of the local digital currency the money is that the city has prospered thanks to millions of dollars in oil revenue. no one seems to be very concerned about the pandemic on brazil's atlantic coast in a city with a population of about 160000 hardly anyone is complaining about the economic situation not even here in this poor district. layo live there is raising her 2 granddaughters here the 65 year old is able to do that thanks to the local digital currency known as. her welfare benefits are paid out in it.

having our benefits paid out in normal book a currency is fantastic it's been happening for a long time and due to the pandemic the welfare benefits have been increased by 50 euros per person which really helps. with that lay a can afford to buy fruit vegetables and rice you can't use women who cook for alcohol or cigarettes that's one of the limits of this currency which is used like a credit card. if you see any of you right now it's difficult to find a job i'm responsible for my grandchildren and i really thank the mayor for increasing the benefit in mumbai during this pandemic. and i said you. all of this came about thanks to the mumble cutbank its local currency is designed to help the poor strengthen the economy and prevent public money from being drained those who register for it don't just get to use a currency they can also ask for

a loan interest free. the city of money cause seems to be weathering the pandemic quite well in other areas too a new hospital opened here justice of the pandemic began and because it has 116 beds available for coronavirus patients in intensive care the city of america has offered to help neighboring communities. almost half of our patients have been brought here from other commune. are hospital strategically able to provide for the entire region then they know his you know. but how does the city finance all this the answer lies nearby below the sea the brazilian government is pumping oil from huge reserves off america's coast as compensation the city receives 150000000 euros a year it's a nice bonus for the city's coffers because local authorities reinvest that money directly into the quality of life of the city's residents and if we're doing well

i love muddy. the mayor is wonderful. the mayor of money because a left leaning and was recently reelected with 90 percent of the vote that's because he's implementing social welfare policies like in cuba. in contrast to the rest of brazil has developed unusually well. even during the pandemic we were able to increase the number of paid jobs thanks to the many emergency programs we've created. with programs money cuz residents are looking into the future up to mystically despite the pandemic. you're watching it i mean you still to come. face the transfer movement in the bundesliga as by going to the front coach union are this month from ophiolites i mean lots. of 1st

a clash of cultures is emerging in the austrian capital vienna it's home to a close knit community of chechen migrants women from that community say they're being harassed by their male compound trysts who see themselves as moral guardians . and to meet one woman who dat speak out against what some such men perceive as rules of tradition. we are meeting a 1000000 families a rougher neighborhood of fianna she says growing up here as a chechen woman means being observed. first month president after we were stopped and asked to shore i.d.'s and to speak in chechnya so that they are certain that my brothers from chechnya to this is current member would i. feel like north park on the underling recalls being questioned in a subway in vienna by chechen men who saw it as immoral if she had spent time with a man who was not from chechnya and all the is not her real name and we cannot show

her face at a funeral for precautions still the 23 year old wants to race for voice against intimidation the people and only refers to our so-called moral guardians last month several chechen men went on trial in austria for have arresting female compared to years for showing western behavior and for running an online chat where they threaten chechen been and only shows me chat groups where pictures of chechen women have been posted and labelled as indecent. she warned us. they want you to read here to the culture across the board your bodies of austria but your mind is in chechnya it's about what you wear the friends unit hole you're outside for and why you are outside. in the grass. line and also mr holcombe people get around these restrictive social rules that forms part of the discussion

of this culture a club for chechen people. modelers and to like me and others we don't get education. we need to play well goals and clever boys rose off the war like most chechens who now live in austria she mentors chechen teenagers she invited a few of them to discuss the rules of chechen men and women only girls turned up disliking all of this is connected to the way boys are raised they believe they are some. special i believe they shouldn't say anything to us when they do i simply don't care parents should talk to the boys and girls need to be more self-confident oppressive behavior within parts of the chechen community is not a chechen phenomenon says minor who's been investigating radicalization for years but what makes the situation of chechen migrants in all 3 different she says is

that they share the collective trauma of fleeing a war zone zinta tired and water to see how many are uprooted suddenly cut off from their own culture they see themselves as protectors of traditions that they know nothing about this isn't related to culture or to islam but connected to false images of men they have been introduced to false images of men and that's the problem. and only now agrees she says a lot of men see themselves as war yours she hopes that all the good chechen men in her community will help to change this distorted male narrative. so football use rb lot 6 union nuggets month well joined by a munich on a 5 year contract next season he will replace current coach honey flick dawson said 3 year old novice one could come with a hefty prize time. of course the defending champions around $30000000.00 euros

be a new record see for coach dallas man made history last season by taking lots of all the way to the champion's league semifinals. of them on that note joined by from the job useful as a lever now this one will join by next season is either right now what makes him so special for the gender stand how special he is you have to know his humble beginnings nabbous man stuff went from a relative unknown at the age of 28 when he took over hoffenheim and when he did that of course he became the youngest of a coach and then he made the move to leipsic and it like see he also made history a few years later when you know he took his team he took the night shift all the way to the semifinals of the champions league and moreover last season he took a very young a very experienced team night 16 all the way like i said to the semifinals. which is also why he's often earned the nickname of baby marine yours so he's built

this reputation for his for himself as being a tactical fox for developing teams and we also saw at leipsic and at huff and especially at at safe despite losing really good players he still manages to somehow keep like safe always within the top of the window seat at table so that baby mirroring you know. doesn't come cheap probably had the figure of $30000000.00 euros of bias playing for put that into perspective i mean yes is all he could like you said could cost by an up to $30000000.00 euros and that's of course like these big sums we used to in football having such big sums being spent on pay us but not me on coaches'. because you don't always get a return on it once that coach leaves you can't we sell him so of course so if he does if it's true of any and he does go for $30000000.00 euros of course that would set a new record for a coaching coaching fees and the only thing that comes close to it to it is back in 2011 english side chelsea they spent $15000000.00 on portuguese side

porto to snatch their coach andre vs the boss so if like i said reports are true of course not as man could cost twice as much muggles and still be very young some would say inexperience and he's heading towards a club that is full of big egos is he the right man for the jaw that's a really good question and like i said before he obviously he has the tactical know how he's extremely adaptable adaptable we can see the obvious that he can do a lot with very little but of course he's not won anything he has no trophies and he's never managed a big club by and you know of course a big club. but the pressure will be a lot higher a lot more results oriented and i don't think i'd buy and i don't think by and will be as generous as huff and i am and safe when it comes to giving him that time and that patients in order to develop

a good team and the most talked doesn't sports thank you very much alina. auction house announced a new world record for private sale but it's not for a rare work of phosphor although it's full of sneakers designed and worn by the rapper kanye west his nike ad he's ings sold for one point $8000000.00 triple the previous record falls and he gets west 1st wore the shoes at the 2008 grammy awards it was also the 1st time nike had ever collaborated with someone who was not an athlete and it marked the start of rap as easy anti was not an evil says of well over a $1000000000.00. and finally anyone looking into the skies last night was able to glimpse a so-called pink super moon although it doesn't actually appear pink it's really named after a pink colored spring time that occurs when the moon is closest to us and it's all

i'm fearful. * that the promise i'm drawing of them i'm and chris still mad. about the i mean why i'm guessing that high on the criminal cartel they work internationally and are increasingly brutal we investigate how long in german border new. crystal meth.

next on t.w. . we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. the magic corners check. out support for family. and some great cultural memorials to boot. double trouble we've got.

1986. it's their story their very own personal drama. the people who survived the catastrophe remember. and they share private footage with us that has never been seen before. chernobyl starts april 26th on g.w. . much of the crystal meth that's consumed in germany comes from the czech republic here chick police carry out a drug raid meth is also produced in other countries. there flooding the market. in. dutch drug gangs are pushing into the european market

filling the gap left by check drug operations that have been busted. it is need we are small this isn't smuggling it's a sophisticated highly profitable business and. dutch police seize only 5 to 10 percent of total production and that gives you an idea of how much is actually on the market and. crystal meth is easy and cheap to produce and the profits for dealers can be enormous. quantities goes to here we see a typical meth lab. well it can produce 20 kilograms over a 2 day cycle. and on the street a kilo of meth cells or 600000 check crowns cougar. that's just over $23000.00 euros so 460000 euros per lab in just 48 hours the average price per gram is $65.00 euros crystal meth hot normally 2

to infuse we've reached the point where people at all levels of society are using this drug in ones who get says just because it comes amid. they says rotterdam in the netherlands europe's largest seaport there's been a big increase recently and illegal imports of the chemicals that are used to make crystal meth. dutch journalist make fun fell he says that the number of meth labs raided by police is rising fast since trade actions just as i was on 3 since 2016 about 20 of these labs have been identified huge labs that can produce

$80000000.00 euros worth of drugs per month in normal holds a lot of. mexican cartels supply a lot of crystal meth for the european market it's pouring in with the components often hidden on board freighters like these the cartels have also sent their own meth cooks to europe to make the stuff out of the trouble i guess that you will beginning a mistress deal with and it's extremely important for us to monitor developments in the crystal meth market very closely and of like ok you know if we're not talking about small town. i'm cocaine or marijuana distributors here. these are the mexican cartels and when they get into a market there's a big increase in drug production and drug related violence built here for we've seen that in mexico and they're moving into the market here. so as far as crystal meth is concerned the warning signals are flashing throughout europe workers to

methane udo. in june 29002500 kilograms of crystal meth were seized at the port of rotterdam the largest drug bust of its kind in europe. this is the bavarian city of pasto we've come here to meet drug counsellor uni was clear. from 2003 until he retired last year crake was in charge of a therapy center that's affiliated with the catholic diocese of passout. he says there's been a big increase over the last decade in the number of people who've come to the center for help. the situation is serious in fact it's alarming we've even had a few deaths recently that puts 3 different. when clique walks through parts of town known for drug activity he can often grade some of the people there by name.

the number of addicts who've come to the center is increasing 20 years ago cook had just a handful of clients 3 years ago there were 80 and now the number has risen to well over 100. and those are just the statistics from one counseling center high goodness to consummate no one who uses crystal meth comes to my office on their own and asks me for help. all of our clients have been ordered to get counseling. a prosecutor will tell them sign up for a treatment program or go to jail. but those people are just the tip of the iceberg this is a huge problem is the power to be at the least exciting. but few people aside from you he was clearly are sounding the alarm about crystal meth abuse and passing

. the hook if this insight from when things calm down a bit a lot of people come to the mistaken conclusion that the situation is under control . as far as i'm concerned that's an indication that this drug has become part of everyday life in our communities and people just aren't concerned about it anymore . and let me read some team or get more. but public apathy doesn't mean that the problem is any less serious now we're going to introduce you to a local resident who's been using crystal meth for 6 years. we've agreed to conceal his identity he says he even goes to work when he's high. my boss doesn't have a problem with me using drugs he doesn't know that i also use them on the job sometimes when i've been taking drugs i'll be late for work but the boss doesn't

seem to mind because i always do a great job. he estimates that about 20 percent of the people in his hometown use crystal meth. many of those who've taken the drug say that it gives them a rush of energy makes them more alert and enhances their overall performance. we've come to the bavarian town of bio write to me to addiction therapist hold on tightly petri he's been working with crystal meth users for 3 decades including single mothers skilled workers and business managers he explains why people can quickly become addicted to this drug. is a crystal you know the crystal meth that sold on the street can be up to 90 percent pure a 1st time user who inhales $80.00 to $100.00 milligrams of the drug at that level of purity will soon experience

a sense of euphoria which is the maximum you could use with a few days of movie crystal meth triggers the release of several chemicals in the brain that make people feel good cause and they keep taking the drug because they want this sensation to last the studio wanted to see how. but these feelings of euphoria are deceptive users often find that they need more and more crystal meth to achieve the same level of stimulation. and once the drug wears off they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms. a few moons shock because the big problem with crystal meth is that it's neuro toxic. that is it damages the nervous system it's what you call chronic meth abuse can reduce the amount of chemicals in the brain that make us feel good this is because this can lead to fatigue and even depression just for believes the mask even once in

a hit if you keep using this stuff you'll eventually build up a tolerance so you have to take a larger amounts to try to get high and eventually you get to the point where it just doesn't give you that russia anymore you feel burned out all the time you can't feel anything anymore. this is the czech capital prague crystal meth has been produced here for decades even during the cold war and after the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 production increased char plea and distributors began exporting their drugs to draw money these days checks and vietnamese immigrants produce an estimated $10.00 tons of crystal meth every year a lot of it is shipped to neighboring germany. the

national czech police have created a special division to come back drug crime the division's director is jaco. he says he and his officers face an enormous challenge. one of their main tasks is to chip away at the production of crystal meth as part of that effort police have raided more than 200 drug labs over the last 5 years but as soon as they shut down one lab another one opens up somewhere else. yet. socialism it all so the the situation has changed recently yes my use portugal meant a lot of people were seeing that large organized crime groups which are made up mostly of vietnamese immigrants are shifting large scale production of crystal meth to other countries most to me i ships body anything over

51015 or 20 kilograms is now produced outside the czech republic. not was i mean ixtoc. in some raids officers have seized up to a ton of crystal meth but this work often involves cross border co-operation with police in other countries. works closely with european customs author already is and the european law enforcement agency europe told. me. and there's a new factor that's complicating the effort. the news was that we mexican drug cartels are now setting up operations in the netherlands i mean our league school. here frankly conducts an inspection tour along the czech german border. he explains that the mexican cartels have moved into the european market for crystal meth mostly because the czech government has cracked down hard on local drug dealers.

free from his department has been expanded over the past several years and they're making life difficult for those who produce and distribute crystal meth in the czech republic so the mexicans have stepped in to fill the gaps their network even includes some of the vietnamese immigrants who used to make their own meth. dutch dealers used to earn a lot of money by selling drugs like ecstasy or unfed a means known as speed but now they can make even more by selling crystal meth. fleetly says that the mexican cartels have priced the vietnamese right out of the market thanks to low overhead. will be able they can offer lower prices because they create so much product we're talking about hundreds of

kilos of crystal meth even tons of it they don't produce the stuff here because there's not much local demand for it. people used math quite a bit in the early 1990 s. but not today certainly not enough to justify massive levels of production with offical. times are tough for small vietnamese shops along the czech german border particularly those that can supplement their income by selling crystal meth not many people come here to buy drugs anymore these days they're often delivered by a quarry or or people order drugs on the dark web and they arrive in the mail regardless of the method an estimated 5 tons of crystal meth reaches the german border region every year. roughly the same amount stays in the czech republic itself

police managed to confiscate only about $100.00 kilos of it per year and despite what some officials say this country does have a serious problem with crystal meth addiction an estimated 35000 people are hooked on the drug. local producers are losing market share to meth that's shipped in from the netherlands and they're facing increased pressure from the german action police. law enforcement agencies from both countries have been working closely together since 2007 when border controls were relaxed under the shannon agreement the joint center for german czech police and customs cooperation is located in the town of shan doth a varia this facility is staffed around the clock officers exchange data follow up leads on drug cases organized searches and make arrests.

all this information flows into the data bank at regional police headquarters any. detective chief superintendent christopher says that crystal meth is a problem here but other drugs pose more of a threat the stand off but insecure still insist based on our statistics the drugs that are seized most often by our officers are heroin and cannabis. they also represent the largest quantities of the drugs that are confiscated. we carry out fewer raids that involve crystal meth and we seize smaller amounts of saugus if you're still in maine and. in 2019 just under 2 kilograms of crystal meth were seized in this part of bavaria that was about middle of the pack among the various 7 administrative districts. regardless of the statistics the various

health ministry has recently reported an increase in drug related deaths and drug users who've signed up for outpatient treatment how can we explain this discrepancy . is in with us has said as it does with the only drug cases that we hear about are the ones where the police get involved. and criminology and sociology experts make a distinction between crimes that are reported and those that aren't. so if police make a lot of drug arrests that will show up in the crime statistics and that's good. but if the police stopped investigating drug cases altogether the number of arrests would drop to 0 and the politicians would say that's good. police resources are stretched to the limit the authorities simply don't have the money or the personnel to track down everyone who produces and distributes crystal

meth so criminal organizations like the mexican cartels feel free to move in but that may change soon. you know. over the last several years some german states have tried to add personnel where they can. the federal government has agreed to help state governments to do that but it's a slow process as an. artist and police have lots of other priorities right now besides drug crimes. they also have to keep track of serious problems like islamist terrorism and right wing extremism there's extremist muslim terrorist most. so the effort to crack down on the use of crystal meth is pretty far down the list of police priorities meanwhile authorities have come up with an unusual new way to monitor the use of illegal drugs it involves analysis of sewage.

the european anti drug agency has been working with the score group since 2011 to monitor waste water for traces of him he said substances several german cities are taking part. here at the sewage treatment plant in nuremberg an employee collect samples that will then be sent to the score analysis center in dresden the results will help the authorities quantify the scope of drug abuse. the latest samples from nuremberg indicate that consumption of crystal meth has jumped 30 percent since 2017 lots of people are able to buy the drug despite the restrictions imposed because of the covert pandemic the study also shows high rates of meth consumption in the german states of the varia the range and saxony but

where are the drugs coming from. tradition booked for the dollar as crystal put it the netherlands is moving ahead of the. republic and the production of crystal meth will climb this far and wide line for this because that's clear from the statistics for the number of drug seizures particularly in the german state of north rhine-westphalia for those brutal and we'll find this far and preliminary analysis indicates that the drugs were shipped from there to major german cities that evil villains wouldn't. let the production facilities in the netherlands have done what the czechs were never able to do for that big cities in western and central germany with large quantities of crystal meth. german authorities are calling for decisive action. caught us closely because a whole fish meal was and as far as crystal meth is concerned it did and i hope that we'll be able to cooperate more closely with our dutch colleagues and to my.

original middlesborough they've indicated that they're willing to help us divide as they don't want the netherlands to become the new center for meth production and they're ready to take action to do that kristallnacht to become dutch authorities often look the other way when it comes to the use of machine and marijuana but the last thing that they want is a new crystal meth in this street run by mexican cartels. we're dealing with violent organized crime groups that distribute drugs on an international scale i think it would be naive to believe that we can solve this problem by legalizing these drugs. we have to strengthen our efforts to stop these groups that includes taking away the profits they make from selling drugs. and drafting laws aimed at preventing money laundering as part of a larger overall strategy of chrissy's of thieves around. new developments in

international drug production and distribution require new law enforcement strategies among sebastien fiedler is top priorities at the creation of investigative units that target crime groups and national centers for crime prevention. cities that have a meth problem would benefit from a national strategy on preventing drug addiction and drug abuse counsellors would also welcome this development. not about vitamin family the counseling center in november in 1980 today 20 percent of the people who come to him for help are addicted to crystal meth he says treatment should also be part of an overall preventive strategy. we've seen this is yet to see and i think it's a shift 100 if. the cost of addiction in our society is huge hundreds of billions

a year. and in that calculation you have to include the cost of people who lose their jobs or go into treatment or end up in jail. and as crystal meth abuse moves into the middle class more and more people will be affected and that will push up the costs to tackle for me to sit in an attempt at smoking in peace because nowadays you can buy meth on the web and it'll be in your mailbox the next day. so we have to find the people who are using those sites and offer them help. but to do that we need a digital infrastructure. that includes technical experts but all that will cost a lot of money and we just can't seem to find it against us leslie true and goodman knows that most politicians don't consider drug counseling to be a top priority. the

mexican cartels offer technical support to the crews in holland that are making crystal meth. experts estimate that about 2 thirds of all the methods seized by police in germany is now produced in the netherlands. in our diets of she performed the cartels have been active in this market for the last decade and now they've become really powerful. we need to do a lot more to keep them in check there the dutch government is trying to find new ways to stop the spread of illegal drugs but they have a lot of catching up to do because the writing in the neighboring countries are not exactly satisfied with the job we've done so far. the dutch authorities don't really want to talk about the situation still bill. drug abuse is a sensitive topic in the netherlands so it's no wonder that police are reluctant to talk about it were and they launch happens to look and historians synthetic drugs

are part of our recent history that we started with amphetamines in the 1970 s. continued with ecstasy and now we've got a problem with crystal meth and the cartels as i'm backing it to make sure gosh rebels and. the netherlands is ideally located for importing the raw materials that are used to make the drugs and there are 2 big ports here rotterdam and then twerp . we are the gateway to europe and that's why the cartels want to take over this market. and if you're caught making drugs the penalties aren't very steff just a few years in jail it's an ideal situation for the cartels but if for some of. the cartels earn about 20000000000 euros a year from the sale of synthetic drugs the profit margins are huge because the mexicans import cheap chemicals from asia to make the stuff. as the power of the

cartels increases police have reported a surge in contract murders and assaults and have found drug labs in remote locations in may 2020 that police raided a lab and seized chemicals and crystal meth worth an estimated 10000000 euros. the lab was located on a farm near a village just 20 kilometers from the german border police arrested several suspects including one each from mexico colombia and the united states. the raid was successful because dutch investigators had worked with police agencies in other countries to track the crooks a special police unit kept the suspects under constant surveillance and a lot of hard work finally paid off. i flick called the police she didn't

like. the investigation and the run up to the raid took several months. police managed to break into the criminals phones and decrypt their messages to the guards this allowed investigators in france germany and the netherlands to monitor their conversations for months. but will this kind of international cooperation be enough to stop the spread of crystal meth. the visa edition de botton does invite i've read through the policy documents of all the major political parties and they seem to be focused on how to fight the use of cannabis and politicians think it's a sexy topic and there are no proposals for dealing with more dangerous drugs like crystal meth emitted in the crystal meth and under them hopping before. last seen child in the straight shot and we have to confront this problem head on let's talk

to the people who are actually using drugs and offer them counseling as part of an overall preventive strategies and who to fish to death for even see on the zip codes in the nation it can mock truants mention the students who these drugs are ruining people's lives we can't ignore this kind of drug abuse and tell ourselves that everything's fine when people keep trying these drugs and then they become addicted to the drug abuse can destroy families people can lose their jobs because of it and some users end up in the psychiatric ward and some users end up dead it's a serious problem isn't it. criminal groups are simply providing hughes's with the drugs that they want to buy perhaps we should focus on how to keep people from taking drugs in the 1st place. i don't want to keep using crystal meth forever it just ruins your life. you

can't ignore the effect it has on your mind and body. it makes you paranoid about things that no one else would notice. more and more people in europe are using crystal meth we have to deal with this problem before it gets any worse and the best way to do that is to develop a comprehensive prevention strategy that combines effective police measures with counseling in treatment for drug users who may be at risk.
