[000:00:00;00] ah was, ah, this is d w. news. why? from berlin? big disagreements and low expectations. us president joe biden is in geneva, head of a stomach with russia a lot. and we will let your leaders be able to find any common ground in the high stakes. talk also coming up the fly, meet floating mount a nice piece. not that is threatening marine life and the fishing industry off because turkey, critics say the government's cleanup efforts have come to late the brutal world of

human trafficking. we meet one of the nigerian women forced into prostitution in italy. scapes, thousands like her remains trapped in a vortex violence pan exploitation. european football championships. france fans celebrate their teens victory over germany and their opening. ah, i'm see, so misconduct. good to have you with us. us president joe biden has arrived in geneva saying he is ready for a tough encounter with russia. vladimir putin. a major security effort has been mobilized for what is expected to be several hours of discussions behind closed doors. the meeting comes at a low point in us. russia relations biden has promised to set clear red lines and

try to find some common ground another day. another city and force one touch down in geneva after a whole week in europe. joe biden now faces a very different meeting. on wednesday, he'll sit down with the rochelle vladimir putin at a time of frosty ties between the countries. among the issues of contention, rushes roll in ukraine and its cracked down on opposition. activists at home, a sharp contrast to the cordial meetings in brussels with the leaders early on tuesday, whereby to announce the reset of washington agenda. americans, we are married. we have never fully left, but we are researching. in fact, it's overwhelming the interest of thinking to have a great relationship with a very different my friends that you and us. and now the truth over the both

boys trade dispute, which will lead to the suspension of billions of dollars in tariffs, the conflict over subsidies to the rival aircraft makers had been going on for 17 years. the decision is seen as a move to join forces to stand up to a more assertive china the agreement we have followed now really opens a new chapter in our relationship because we move from litigation to cooperation on aircraft. and that after almost 20 years of dispute, it is the longest trade dispute in the history of w t o. a more glaring rivalry will be at play in geneva on wednesday, although the bite and put in meeting provides some room for cooperation. both sides have nevertheless played down expectations of any major research in relation and dw

alexander phenomena in geneva, following the summit for us tile. eccentric, to see you just a few months ago, we saw us president biden saying, when he was asked that vladimir putin is a killer. and now he's about to draw these red lines for this meeting. how tense will this summit be? you know, my impression is rather to me that both presidents may be interested in lowering the tensions a bit when they're meet in the villa. grounds right behind me in this park. joe biden has made clear that he is ready to be tough on russia that he wants to call out russia for its aggressive behavior for human rights abuses, for the poisoning of the position of leader alexander viney. but she also said that he is interested in having stable and predictable relations with china. and even though putting doesn't like to be lecture about human rights abuses,

he is also may be interested in lowering the temperature a bit because he knows he actually doesn't have anything to gain from escalating the situation. and he certainly doesn't want new sanctions while they have a lot of ground to cover in the summer. so what are the big points on the agenda today? well, i think that cyber security is at the top of the agenda. there have been a few significant cyber attacks in the u. s. lately, one of them targeting very important pipeline, and some of those attacks has leads to groups inside of russia. so joe biden is certainly going to talk about that. however, his administration is trying to play down expectations saying that it's just about having a 1st meeting for blood in the put in. however,

we have to say this meeting is already asked success. he likes the lime light, he likes the attention, and by meeting joe biden, he's also hoping to be seen as, as weak will as equal do you see areas of center where these 2 leaders can cooperate? well, that is what they're biden administration is hoping for. certainly, and there are areas where both sides can work together on the fighting off the pandemic, for example. then on, you know, trying to, to work on the remaining arms control infrastructure. they also could be working together on climate change on international conflicts in libya and syria. for example, were russia still place a very big role? but of course, this is going to be a very long meeting and we'll see whether any cooperation is possible. d,

w. alexander phenomena falling all the latest their engineer before. thank you. now to some other stories making news around the world. israel has launched air strikes on the gaza strip, the 1st military flare up since last month's cross border fighting. israeli military says it attacked him off compounds in response to incendiary balloons, launched from the palestinian territory authority say the balloon caused around 20 fires in open fields. socialists, canada pedro castillo has claimed victory and perused presidential election. he ended the lengthy vote count 44000 south ahead of his right wing rival keiko for he, marty. she has pledged to fight the result which election authorities have not yet formerly announced in india as iconic. taj mahal has reopened after 2 months of being closed to the public. the top tourist attraction was struck when a 2nd deadly wave of corona virus infection swept the country. infections i have

declined in recent weeks. now in turkey, a slimy floating mass of yellowish white sea line is threatening marine life. and the fishing industry, especially in the sea of murderer, that's on the water, is just south of is done bull. but it's also in the black sea and the a gmc, the so called cease not is caused by rising temperatures due to climate change and poor waste management. now the turkish government recently launch an action plan to clean up the slimy substance. many say the efforts come too late, our correspondent, brave the waters of the sea of morrow to send us this report. webs of seek yellowish slime. they are covering corals wrapping themselves around crabs and sea urchins suffocating marine life. but this isn't a horror movie. it's under water footage from the sea of mara,

off the coast of east stumble. the so called seas not in sine speak. marine use village is produced by some of the slime, has been spreading for weeks, thriving on warm temperatures and pollution. it's a man made disaster i kid you know from the seas not is very difficult to grab. hold of this stuff is so slimy, it slipped through your hands and back into the water. it's really revolting. an aerial view illustrates the extent of the environmental crisis. carpets is mucus, along the coastline, clogging ports and beaches, as well as affecting the fee of mom, laura, and the metropolis of a stumble. this line have also taken over parts of the adjoining a g and, and flexion. it's a threat to the local fishing industry and swimming is now impossible in many

places in town at the and i had heard of the seas note, but now i can see how bad it really is. i tried swimming with there is less of it, but my skin still felt each question the symbol. so just so if you have mitchell shows that we usually come surfing here every week, but now we are really worried that we have to go further out because the slime is all over the short. but you can just repeat it again. it's often in the i've been diving here for 10 years, but i've never seen a natural disaster like this speaking. there was see, not when i was a child, but it was never as bad as the kids will. i still the turkish government has recently started to tackle the problem. the environment minister launched a massive clean up operation. dressers are pumping out the slime and work is a bringing the muck assure for disposal. it looks like an impossible task,

and many experts say it's already too late. below, none of them are yet. what we see on the surface is very worrying. but it's just the tip of the iceberg. the real problem is under the water. this is where the slime is spreading, and it's getting worse every week. after that as humans that are marine biologists, like most of us, are to say the scourge of cease not is not just a turkish problem, but a stalk warning to the world. the climate change is pushing our planets, life support systems to the brink. for its victims, it is physically and mentally traumatizing and sometimes deadly for criminal games . people trafficking is highly lucrative. the main smuggling groups around the world are through latin america, the mediterranean and asia. gangs often coerced their victims into prostitution or

forced labor in the service industry. now when recent weeks police have been cracking down on the $150000000000.00 black market and a meeting of the alliance against trafficking in person says the only way to stop it is to try to stamp out the demand for cheap sex d. w correspondent, young philip shots went to italy on the trail of the nigerian mafia. she spoke to traffickers and to some of the women they trafficked. the scenes could have been found at countless industrial areas in italy, on any given night, young nigerian women working the street, almost none of them of their own free will. at rome, central station we meet david. he says he was a member of the nigeria mafia until he witnessed the brutal murder of a woman forced to work as a prostitute called the split into pieces. then the package it. so for

example, if you have 10 people that know the dead body, you probably won't get a car one killer because everybody will display the you can never to the person, you can never have the person again. the president is missing, is gone. one of the nigerian murphy as basis is said to be the southern italian village of wild torno often. and nigeria, madame is in charge of a group of young women behind her, a well organized network of violent operatives smuggling young women from africa to europe. juliet or sabo arrived in italy, a boat, a migrant boat. 4 years ago. she saw 1st hand how the human traffic was and the madams operate. the be the go like. are you ready to pay had the money or notes and in the guess is no. i'm tired, i don't want to do this walk anymore. they continue to be go, no food,

no water. the log to go inside the room for 4 days on. they are able to con, call. ha! juliet managed to escape the traffickers and found refuge at a women center for migrant shibley's. most women like her full victim before they even leave their home. countries want to fight their right smugglers. you young women to europe with lies and promises on arrival. they're told they are thousands of years in debt and have to pay it off. said kill and that sorrow is an advisor to the anti murphy, a commission in the italian parliament. he says the italian state now treats the nigerian mafia the same as the italian mob. yes, they are. my son, the code law for $16.00 be so they have a structure like mafia. so the code of silence violence, intimidation, psychological pressure,

ravine and son in some ex mafia. member david says the nigerian groups are now operating right across europe and they all have one thing in common violence. he shows us a gruesome video of men beating a woman. david says she refused to work on the street so they tortured her to death . most of them you are not registered. nobody knows about the government on know anything about them. yeah. here you don't have the committee don't have innocent. so it did die is very difficult for the government to know that this person has recent judy and has since been registered with the for a t's. she now has a visa and a job at a local restaurant. but you know, she's one of the lucky ones. as long as there's a demand for cheap 6 to my fear will keep exploit in young women and then search for supposedly better life will continue to end on the street. let's get some perspective on the story now. we can speak to valley and richey,

he is the o. s. c, e 's, special representative and coordinator for combating human trafficking. and he's joining us from vienna. we saw some disturbing stories there about the brutality of nigerian gangs operating in italy. is that degree of violence common in other european countries as well? well, thanks so much for having me. it's a, it's a pleasure to be with you today to talk about this very important topic. and yes, the answer is quite clearly that we see violence across the sea region in the globe . really, the problem is, of course, is that traffickers realize that they can make billions of money paid to have sex with their victims. and so of course, they're going to be highly motivated to do whatever it takes to make that money. we mentioned that in vienna, there is the alliance against traffic in person is taking place in the for focus of this conference,

this year is on combating demand. but how do you reduce the demand for prostitution? well, it's a huge problem. first of all, the trafficking for sexual exploitation generates about a $100000000000.00 a year. so to put that into perspective, that's equivalent to the profits made by the apple corporation. so we're talking about a massive global problem. as i said, traffickers realize they can make this money and they can, we get off men willing to pay sex. so those are the people that we really need to address. we've been working on the supply side for the last 2 decades, and frankly, it's just not working. so how do we address it? well, i think the 1st thing is, is we need to start with early prevention. we need to educate boys and young men about respectful behavior, about what consent means at an early age, so that, that built into how we interact in society later on. we also need to take much more aggressive steps on disrupting this economy as it were by interrupting purchases by

discouraging purchases through awareness campaigns. and then finally, we need to hold men accountable when they actually take that extra step and try to arrange a transaction with the trapped the victim. they need to be held accountable for that right now. that's just not happening. i want to ask you about, you said about disrupting this market because you are a former prosecutor with experience in human traffic in case of so what do police and authorities need to do? well, one of the main areas where trafficky victims are sold to men who are buying sexes online. so there are thousands of websites around the world where there are massive amounts of exploitation going on. and there are very little regulations or safeguards put into place to ensure that for example, children are not being sold, that people who are selling sexual services on those sites are consented to that. and there's just no protections right now to, to ensure that. so. busy when somebody goes on those,

they have no idea whether the person on the other end of that transaction is being exploited. so one of the major solutions that it stands out as an untapped opportunity here is to try to put in place safe guards on those websites. to make sure that the people who are on them are not being exploited. and if we can put those safeguards into place, i think we really need to consider shutting down. and that is a conversation that's really active right now. but in the european union, north america and beyond. and what about the victims here? what can be done to make it easier for them to escape their situation? well, the 1st thing is, is we got to find them and we got to identify them. and we got to make sure they know that we're, we're there to help if they think that they're going to get arrested and prosecuted for, for crimes they were forced to commit. that's going to make it really difficult to identify them. but the 2nd thing is, is we need services available that can actually assist them. so for example, once you find somebody, i think there's this misperception that you rescue

a victim and all of a sudden life is fine. right? but it's not, they've been physically or sexually abused as we just heard moments ago. and that trauma can last a lifetime. they may have been exploited since they were children and they never had education or another job. so we really need to start with those basic life skills, well, have to leave it there. valley and fritchie, the o. s. e coordinator for combating human trafficking. thank you very much for sharing your insights with us today. thanks so much for having to south africa now where thousands of fortune seekers have made their way to a small village and the hopes of finding diamonds. they were prompted by an amateur digger, reportedly finding one of the valuable gemstones. although it is still unclear if that really was a diamond, the rush comes with south africa struggles to get the economy back in order with the pandemic making a difficult situation even worse. oh, the pouring in from around the country with more village in the province of lou

natal, what they are looking for, diamonds, women, men, young old. a few days ago, a shepherd discovered a stone in the field there, which he believed to be a diamond. the news spread like wildfire many now hope to find some of the precious gems themselves to improve their desperate life. because no lives would change because no one had a proper job. i do odd jobs and when i returned home with them, my family was really overjoyed how, what does it go? good. what are those i hadn't seen or touched the diamond in my life? it's my 1st time touching it here. i hope this will make a difference at home because we're really struggling, so i hope things will be better. but also this will really help the community. we hope crime will come to an end, especially claims against women. because the, you know, all these things because of unemployment. so let me start.

oh, boy, still uncertain that the stones are really diamonds, being traded unsold, south africa is rich, and diamond reserves. and fines like the shepherds have revealed huge treasures in the past. and now the mining authority is sending experts to the site to collect and analyze samples. but before that can happen, the damage seekers have to leave the to the european football championships. now in germany hosted world cup champs, france in the end, it was decided by an own goal. my homo deflected a path into his own net and that was all france needed. they had to go taken back on our side calls, but they still got the victory. one mill and jonathan crane from day to use force was watching the game. of course, jonathan, tell us what we saw in this match. well, i think we much deserved for more than one mill. there were sent me more to it than the one know 4 lines suggest it was worth by 14000 fans inside me an exact answer

in a pretty k g star. really, poor punk, brilliant france image failed, as you say, a man who moves and go the flailing and diverting it posts manual on 20 minutes with a brilliant pope with passes set out for me was really got into a bit of a master though. i think if he hadn't put it in the net killing him back, pay was waiting behind him to do so. france had to go with just about in the 2nd half. as you said, they was there, hit the post, says mabry maybe could scores for germany, but i think on balance france perhaps could have won by far more than one nail. well, there were 14000 fans allowed in the stadium in munich. let's listen to what some of them have to say after the match when they, when they filled up 20 percent of the stadium. but we know how to make noise and we know that it works clipper. can you? oh, really, it was fabulous. there was a great atmosphere. in fact, i felt prompts for the home, things that were lots of french people, lots of entity, lots of cindy. oh yeah,

do you think it was really incredible? the team was great. graceman was on top of that. i was on top. i really think it's a great sign of things to come. they would have a great site and the veterans, what am i to me jaga it was a pity gemini had so if you scoring opportunities, but i think we'll do better in the next game against portugal, that will be important. also how portugal play against france, that will be decided for edward over that type. they paid better next time. ok, johnston optimistic germany fan there. and jimmy really has been up and down since they crushed out of the last world cup. did you see in this match and improvement? no, not really. i mean, everybody said that optimism to be honest. and if you listen to the coach check in lab and some of the players, there are also quite pleased happy with the approach to the day. i'm happy with how they for some putting the defeat down to and i'm go but i don't know. i didn't

really see it on the plus side. they didn't get thrashed so you know, confidence wise, they can say, okay. and now when they were the feet against the boat champions, but you know, i really thought they lacked a cutting edge. they didn't really threaten hugo laurie to tor, in the french go, relax a bit of a plan. if you come back to france, you know how from a going to sets up, they're going to try and get you on the counter tack. use that pace, that pace going forward. the movement, the accuracy of that process was just a cut above germany basically. and when you have a play like killian about that it was an incident in the 2nd half of back pay started about 1015 meters. the hide not so most and he caught him up. it was incredible. show pay. i think jeremy just don't have that weaponry in that austin. i'm afraid. well, germany left the world cup and rush after the 1st round is a too soon for fans to be nervous. the fact that happened this time as well? no, it's not too soon because this is a group of 4 teams. you play 3 matches, they've already lost one. and they've got portugal coming up,

and portugal are the reigning champions. they'd be hungry, 3 nail yesterday as a team packs with talent that starting of evan has 6 family players. and that's not to mention christiano, but now they are as well. so that's going to be a very difficult match and then hungry is the last match and hungry made life difficult support to go yesterday. they defended really well to port your go until the last 10 minutes to finally break through. embrace hungry down. so i think it's germany can get through the portugal match without losing then they'll fancy that chance is because they should be hungry. the saving grace is the for best 3rd place teams go through as well. so that could be germany way through to the knockout stages. i think they were really need to improve their performance. alright, jonathan crane from d. w for. thank you. you're welcome. and just the minutes before that game kicked off a greenpeace protest or crash landed on the pitch. after putting some overhead camera wires, several people were hospitalized for injuries you way for called it

a reckless and dangerous act. a greenpeace has apologize for the incidents. let's get a quick reminder of our top story. us president joe biden is in geneva ahead of his stomach with russia, letting me put in a massive security operation is underway for the summit. us russia relations are at the lowest point in years. thank you for watching t w. two's the ooze. the

news the the the new gold rush and the indian lithium and this like metal is the roll material of the future. and this is central to the expansion electron building, but creating a little tension and threatening, fragile ecosystems. the mining region is right with controversy. close

up next on dw me over the wages tell, especially for agriculture solis only a lot. i mean we're here to help me rolling along hungry. come on down the radio station connects, people contributing to environmental preservation in pals, her con 60 minutes, delusions ah ah, they know the police will stop done. they knew that the route is not a solution. they know their flight could be going

back. not an option. peace ma, i'm on and rabbit a are stuck in the spanish border area. alongside other young people there waiting for a chance that will probably never come. shattered dreams starts june 18th on d, w. i oh, there's a new gold rush in the andes mountains. mining companies are trying to tap into huge reserves of lithium, known as white gold argentine and wants to attract $5000000000.00 in invest.
