luxury items. it is used to pay for them. and the mercedes benz car stats somehow found their way into the korea despite the sanctions. but it also, it is also used and this is probably more important to deliver the best hackers. you can, you can trade as early estimate, eighty's came and young ill started training the most talent of children in terms of mathematical season program ability to become cyber hackers. they're also good money airs. ransomware, like the one across fires, for example, is considered to come from the north koreans. it is the biggest cyber attack the world has ever seen. hundreds of thousands of computers around the world in about $150.00 countries rendered useless. now the u. s. government is publicly placing the blame for that cyber assault, uniquely doug. want to cry squarely on kim, john owns army of hackers, british intelligence officials and microsoft had previously concluded that groups

associated with the north korean regime were responsible for the want to cry hack in soul, i t specialists have north korean hackers squarely in their sights. simon troy works as the consultant for south korean intelligence agencies could washing and we've been following the activities of north korean hackers for 10 years now. in the past, they've been primarily attacking the south korean ministry of defense and other government agencies are key since around 2015. it's become clear that their interest has shifted to international bank, couldn't be. north korea has limited access to the internet with only 1000 ip addresses available to the country. many a used by north korean computer specialists to attack other countries. experts say that between 601300 hackers are at work for the regime. and estimated

$2000000000.00 may have been diverted by young, highly trained north korean hackers to fund the countries nuclear weapons program. the north korea is changing. an impoverished communist state is now a country with a highly flexible shadow economy. and as the commercial companies, all that matters are american dollars. cash for kim, the workers here and now saving away, not for the revolution, but for the wealth of their leader and his cronies. as the gap between rich and poor widen. ah, the population impugn yang, enjoy constant growth in prosperity. the un says that 40 percent of the rural population still suffer from malnutrition. in order to control people, the regime, employees, old school, also a terry and rule north korea's underground economy. on the other hand is 21st

century capitalism. dando, china ah, north korea gateway to the wild, understandable of how few child the un efforts have been to dry up can sort of cash . ready me the sign a korean friendship bridge across the jani river has connected the 2 nations since 943, every day, trucks queue up in front of the custom's checkpoint. it brings together smugglers traders and also the agents. and entre printers of office 39, all of them hoping to make a quick deal here. china is by far north korea as most important trading partner, according to economic sex. but it accounts for 90 percent of north korea's export trade.

the thousands of north korean women, i believe, to work for textile manufacturers in the dundas region, posing as businessmen and equipped with hidden cameras. we film inside one such factory chinese textile companies, higher north koreans because there were ages are lower than those of the domestic workforce. these seamstresses work day and nights, and often sleep on the company premises. many are effectively locked up there for years, far away from their families. together with a team of labor, lawyers, trade experts and data specialists, remco broker has been investigating where the european brands work with chinese companies that directly or indirectly employee, north korea. we found different things. and one of the things we were

actually hoping to establish was to use of north korean workers in chinese factories is what we found. we need to our surprise is, is we do have north 3 and workers working under safe like conditions in china. the more than that chinese factories outsource to north green factories in north korea . managed to prove the existence of a significant amount in chinese textile company with the french name von dest or east wind, the firm's own website. states that it relies on low labor cost and abundant human resources. the list of customers reads like a who's, who of international fashion brands. the whole dest website features this men's jackets described as korean imported. the buttons bear the words amani genes using trade databases,

break his team analyzed on this business dealings between 2013 and 20. 19 the databases use customs information, showing which goods to send back and forth between firms in different countries. so what happens is that china cents the material to make certain types of clothes to north korea, one of their, the ship beck in the container. and then you have finished close dose close are again, shipped to say, to netherlands, or to germany, or to america. and from there, they're distributed into our source between 2013 and december, 2016 loan dest sent around $10000000.00 worth of fabrics and romeus. harold, to north korea. during the same period, the company received finished garments west almost $25000000.00 from north korea. customs classified textiles by so called harmonized system codes. a lady sweater

for example, will have a different h s code than a pair of men's genes. we take a look at h his code 621. it stands for mens anoraks and coats, including the el monte jacket on the website. between 2013 and december, 2016 von dest imported products, with this code, with $12000000.00 from north korea. the same code is also found, with deliveries from vol, dest to europe, and the u. s. among the customers, diesel and money. money jackets that look exactly like the one on the phone, dest website can also be bought in europe. this one costs 219 euros. it's impossible to prove beyond doubt that governments like this one a made in north korea. but at the same time, can it be ruled out? we asked the companies implicated to comment. amani is response,

we confirmed that phone dest is one of our suppliers, and as such, is regularly subject to checks and inspections. the results of these checks being that no finished product, the manufacturers in north korea fly, call our suppliers. it is also required to declare which subcontractors it used it and where these are. and it is also the case that none or in north korea, we also wrote to vote dest. the company offered no explanation as to why and on what scale it trades with north korea. one thing can be said for certain big name fashion brands have a good manufactured by a chinese company that does business with north korea. a country where workers have no rights where human life counts for little or nothing. and breakers, the investigation shows that this is far from an isolated case. chinese firms, these fact trees in north korea to produce goods with hundreds of millions of

dollars. for years and years we've heard testimony from north korean s k fees, who were in concentration came today, has been forced to produce textile for the export market for a famous western grants. and i think for the 1st time i've been able to corroborate that for an external source or not through a testimony in this database, i found the, the department bureaucratic department that is responsible for managing the production of textiles for one of the concentration camps. as i turn down, it means that when you buy clothes produced by forest laborers, maybe even slave labor, we may even buy clothes in the netherlands in germany or through europe in america that was made in concentration. camps by people never see the light of day. again,

these are the kinds of camps that you don't have until your dance. that is just to her reflect, to, to put in worse, were completed. ah, hundreds of thousands of men and women secretly ensure the survival of the p on young regime futures, a sacrifice to the luxurious lifestyle of the powers that be, and also for western consumerism and convenience. kim jones own is perhaps not so much in unhinge dictator as a coolie calculating businessmen who run to the country like a company. ah, and office 39. does plenty of business with everything. and everyone including off, ah

ah, the news he's going to understand the world better. we need to take us closer to the experience. knowledge of the w. no matter how big or flashing kind of art, how would it take to become icon?

i can take a look at pop culture, that is a global post ask, how can we've got 20 was 60 minutes on the off to go on as we take on the world. we're all about the stories that matter to the whatever it is a policeman following the fire made for mines o a

as the decent must see, said in our behalf from the government at the beginning of the 20th century german imperial troops for terreros at nama, into slavery, and seize their land. between 19 o 49, know 8 tens of thousands were brutally murdered. after 5 years of negotiations between the german and the movie and government, now a formal acknowledgements its size and the height of the day, we are officially calling these events what they are a genocide. we thereby also acknowledge our historical responsibility. and in the light of this historical and moral responsibility on the part of germany, we will ask namibia, and the descendants of the victims for forgiveness did not come. the opera gave them bitten the german government,

pledged 1100000000 euros to namibia for infrastructure health and education programs. but the german opposition is also calling for the concerns of the nama interior people to be hurt. if you can, most people in this week, the german government needs to make sure that all effective ethnic groups have a say in how the funds are spent. which population together come negotiate or say the admission is important for german society to relate to their i'm hats and does my feel it's very important that what happened between $19.00 know, $4.98 the crimes germany committed a present in the public consciousness here in germany endorsement via him to many here in the maybe the actions by germany or not enough to bring closure of the german government is clear that the 1 point one, a 1000000000 euros are not to be understood as reparations or compensation. earlier d w news spoke to joshua queasy, akin a political scientist at the university of castle and asked him why that distinction is importance. well,

i think the german government is still afraid of the legal ramifications of a full recognition of the genocide. and this is where we heard from mister moss, you know, using this language of saying that, you know, it would today be considered a genocide. here again, we have un precedent, there's a dub and declaration that germany signed saying that mos atrocities and crimes against humanity committed during colonialism should have counted as such at all times. so japanese actually renew it. i mean, you know, falling behind its own standards here precisely because, you know, of the fear that legal action could be taken, which could lead to further reparations. now, of course, it's clear that so called development assistance can not be classified as reparation to any shape or form, simply because there are conditions that come with this money. and of course, if you say, you know, the wrong has been committed and he has recompense conditions can never be attached

to such money. and so therefore, it's of course, correct to say that such money is not reparations, but it's also disingenuous to connect us money in any shape or form to some kind of recognition of the genocide which again is incomplete as we speak. now let's turn our attention to some other world news. molly's constitutional court has declared a colonel a see me go to the new interim president course and he's power this week in a military coup. the seconds he led within a year, the president and prime minister were arrested and forced to resign west african leaders or disgust the situation on sunday. hundreds of thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo are in need of food and water. after fleeing and active volcano authorities have ordered a partial evacuation of the eastern city of goma, scientists or warning of what they call a potentially catastrophic or option. well,

this month, flare up of violence between israel and thomas has stoked tensions in israeli 50 cities where jewish and arab communities live side by side. the latest conflict has seen neighbors in some places turn against each other or corresponded. tonya cramer sent this report from the town of lud residence there are now trying to pick up the pieces while the flames made their way quickly through the tire shop on the outskirts of lute month where he is still in shock. his father's family, business of 30 years, destroyed in just one night has shown lawyer. i feel a sense of loss of being lost and we thank god we have our faith and we believe that god will restore our rights. and we hope that all will be rebuilt. it will be a period that will pass or fall for the motor, and the flames didn't stop at his store. they also burned down

a computer repair shop next door belonging to the father of us. but now the young jewish israeli video developer had spend a whole year creating a new stage of game. now it's all gone. both respect, the shop was targeted by extremists from outside the city, but there's no evidence to before the riots. some young people came and looked around, checking out which businesses are jewish, which are aramis leaky these and for me personally, and it reminded me of terrible times in our jewish history. does it mean that quote, it hurts. it really hurts to see so much fire and hatred by machine as both a residence of a town in the center of israel, which has seen some of the worst violence in decades between jewish, israeli, and are of israeli citizens. the violence about that not just in luke, but also in many other like cities in israel,

protests but also parent revenge attacks by arab and jewish mops. fueled by long standing issues, but also recent tensions over jerusalem. israeli police responded forcefully for where he d and your foot. no, there's only one way forward. there are in it together through a crowd funding campaign to hope to rebuild their livelihoods. but the sorry remains. yes, we're scared. i worry the jewish extremists are looking for me and will tag me as someone who cooperates with arrows as if that's a wrong thing to do. lima v which is a q dock met is also worried that he'll be singled up by his community. but enough is enough, we need to say what we think and not be scared. we don't know, we have a choice. we should get as much of the future looks uncertain, here and across the country, violence within communities. and israel has left everyone in shock of france and

germany are promising to invest more than 500000000 euros to support vaccine production in africa. the european union also plans to deliver more than 100000000 vaccines to the continent this year. many african nations are struggling to secure vaccines on the global market. and south africa is entry a 3rd wave of infections. it looks like the arrival of ahead of states, but it is actually just the delivery of $300.00 vaccine doses to an inoculation side. and durbin hundreds of eligible senior citizens over the age of 60, have been waiting since morning. i'm not happy at all because most of them has lost their lives. so that is why you came here. so there to get started for there to prevent it. i think we're all very excited about least getting into the into lawn. yeah. and getting an oven done with, and then we can get on with our lives again. less than 2 percent of south africans have received the depth so far, not even $1000000.00 people. many south africans are not happy about this low roll

out of the vaccination program, but the government says they simply cannot get their supplies earlier because of the massive global demand. and also because many industrialized countries secured themselves huge quantities of vaccines, south africa has ordered 16 for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that has arrived in the country. this is why french president him on william, i clung and german health minister in span of visiting south africa to support technology transfer and the establishment of regional manufacturing centers. friends committed up to 500000000 euros. germany will invest up to 50000000. we have very keen to support and cooperate in this area with other countries around the world. we think it is very important that we can make it possible that everyone on the world that wants to be vaccinated can get vaccinated to be on the safe. when

everyone is safe, if an opportunity south africa has been a leading voice, speaking out against lack of maxine excess were poor countries and demanding and intellectual property waiver for over 900 vaccine. say on this we are not going to retreat because for us to retreat means that we say our people's lives are not worth much the lives of our people with a great deal. and we do this because we want to save our people's life. and we therefore wait to continue insisting that this wave i should be there. so fond of the single vaccine is produced in south africa from scratch, only one covet $916.00 as popular manufacture tear filled in vials and distribute it. experts say it will take a long time to create the necessary capacity time, but south africa doesn't have infection. rates have been increasing in the past days. the country is going into a 3rd wave, and people who are under the age of 60,

still not sure when they will be able to get inoculated. you're watching. the news from berlin say to are covered 1900 special. that's coming up next. ah, the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research thing information and contact the corona virus not change because it's 19 special on dw, sometimes a seed. it's all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life.
