is school managers, the club managers have to pay attention to the facilities that in the lower tiers, especially of co, in countries around the world that, that women's football is being given. the other facility, given the other training pitch, the other shower facilities, the other changing rooms that are sometimes just decrepit, and it's time to embarrass them into changing things and making things right. and there are multitasking again, just to trying to talk my way out of the still women at vain walking the walking outside to the administrators to the law and it's called mckinnon from day that we spoke. thanks so much. all right, and that is all for now, doc film is up after a short break and you keep as mckinney will be here at the top of the elf. now red alert for the blue climate. ah, we're going to have some epic. moreover, water with her is becoming a scarce commodity. the global struggle for water

thirst starts august 10th on d. w. ah aah! 12 year old lun suffers from heart disease. despite that she's forced to work illegally in the gym and kept berlin. her story sparked a major criminal investigation and trial. the author of this documentary has gained access to case files. young land is just one of many have fallen victim to human traffic is ah

mm ah, shall we begin? actually because he's retired and jay and his gang had links to the vietnamese human trafficking mafia. they transported hundreds of vietnamese nationals from lithuania to been in via russell. you have um chicago walking to oregon renewed. i would never strike one of them. germany is, i'm afraid it might kill them more thought. well, their chinese poly $40.00 to $50.00 kilos, chops, potter,

due to propagation from oxygen, styx, which of yours all of all those we transport it are there were just a few that were heavier because a lot of the rest were so skinny, especially the boys. there weren't many girls who year from the, from bottles on my floor. rough isn't national. there's not enough awareness in germany about human smuggling, especially when it comes to traffic any from viet nam numbers. year on year we see an increase the number of vietnamese race on paper often have been to have and as extensive and kind of so, but i describe it as modern day slavery. marcus fall is with the german federal police. he's in charge of fighting, organized crime in central germany,

an expert in human trafficking. he's been trying for years to crack the vietnamese organized crime networks with dr. doesn't he. nasdaq, these networks operate on a very hierarchical basis when they're highly professional and cooperate in other forms of organized crime or criminal activities or nicotine. the traffic us have been smuggling vietnamese national st. poland for years. thousands have been brought to germany along this rich and polish customs officers rarely uncovered these smuggling operations most make it through that, including many young people and children children such as 12 year old lamb. she was smuggled over the polish border into germany in august 2015. berlin authorities never investigated where she was held in poland or for how long

i come here in this building right here to try to call her. this is where they were initially held. will g, harshest of all the bus parked here and then came a text. we're here, yes, a messenger yes. or one of my drivers would arrive is rochel share of am news, waykell by and after a few minutes they came out this entrance here to linda finance. i got physical genital plano. how many would you losing her? it was always different ball game 2257 of the girls women 2, would you young ward, you said was, you know, a lot of back, only mostly young with them. it's hard to tell whether they're older, young. i don't want to do more than she only has started into to me. did you know there were a lot of miners among the smuggler to vietnamese runner? i don't know. it's hard to tell. are you there so, so allan frales and ashburn, so small mo and black, i mean the hair,

otherwise their yellow ribbon too, is one of many smuggled in by on j. o. he was brought from lithuania to warsaw where he went underground and feel calmer when i'm throwing something at least a half me comer. shown lives in constant fear of the human traffickers in viet nam. he lived with his grandmother, his parents, a dead. and then his grandmother died too. he eat out a living,

collecting muscles, snails, driftwood, and plastic bottles. only when mainly we not only saw it to a r t. i was 15, ma'am. a man came to me and asked if i'd like to have a job and make a lot of money over. it was a short conversation and he spoke very pleasantly and friendly hong. well, i was just a kid. i didn't know anything. boy, javan was. so i did what he told me, then uncle, that they didn't explain what kind of work and for how long as you know, only that i'd be moving to germany. up in the sun, don't do it. the human smuggling route from vietnam to poland. like most of his compatriots, john travelled across russia to the baltic nations and then to poland. along the

way, he was held in abandoned warehouses, sometimes locked in for weeks at a time. john isn't sure exactly where i shall have his and am home the beetle was on during those times, i couldn't go outside. i don't get nowhere to chill doin a take out the whole day in those warehouses. knowing that morning, noon afternoon and night, my new miami, i heard from others that we were in russia laying lake, a young lea. i asked the vietnamese there if i could go outside. he said, no, don't go outside, i own own, get not madame. he told me that another guy tried to escape. one was shot in the leg. ah, hello. i didn't ask any more questions, dana. and didn't dare even to think about it anymore either. sometime and from there, either. from lithuania, we brought them here. i mean,

we were there at the time we put them in the buses will talk to her, but i will tell you that you get lunches of how many can you fit inside those kinds of buses. also that giggle, it depends. you have to record the one of my men was apprehended road. you see at 12 of them though, i had no idea the one i show we had agreed on 8, but they gave him 12. you need valesh. ah, that 40000 vietnamese live in the polish capitol. it's one of the biggest communities in eastern europe. whistle is a thriving hub, the human trafficking between viet nam and western europe. for example, we brought 20 to 30 people here to this house. here were directly to the trading

center or to this temple here, something we drove them, but i mean, they came here to pray with your mom. and where did they go from here? after? sure, this was just after all of chicago, france, for instance, or berlin. not let's go to dinner. as john was being transported to germany, the driver lost control of the minivan just before the border. there were serious injuries in the accident. the driver and all on board were arrested, including 8 miners, boys and girls. it was the start of a major investigation by polish authorities. john was a star witness and gave comprehensive testimony. ah, a. i'm still afraid this thought a guy next to me hit his head against something on there was blood all over his face. mom, it still frightens me. another thought the human traffic is cell

phones were confiscated and the data analyzed, including gps data authorities, were able to piece together the smuggling brutes. well, over $100.00 smuggling operations were carried out within 8 months. using 3 vehicles. angie was the lead driver, a vietnamese national, living in warsaw, contacted angie in his to accomplices to transport illegals to germany. in minivans the polish smugglers received about $500.00 euros per person. 12 year old land made it to berlin. she lived in a high rise in the marsan district, with the vietnamese man who she described to authorities as her father, an intentional deceit. her actual appearance remain in viet nam

a few days later, another vietnamese girl arrived here, also claiming that the man was her father. german federal police apprehended the 15 year old on the polished border. ah, it's a problem. federal authorities are increasingly confronted with cases involving the smuggling of young vietnamese boys and girls have increased dramatically over the past few years. those who are apprehended end up at emergency facilities, me the border like this one in ice in written stat. what sources in emergency child protection services near the border tell us that most of the children who are brought here quickly disappear. busy ah. busy busy no one was willing to

speak to us officially, but one caseworker described the situation under the condition that he remain anonymous. busy as i do have pulled, his problem has been recognized for a long time. to wish flores i, his smugglers, bring them to germany, and a few that are apprehended abroad to adam, to run in the wreck to and more often than not, they disappeared from this facility after one or 2 hours. my gosh, 440 things. and she also, i wish to was to sit and then have you listened. and from this we have to file a missing persons report by the police unexplored. but most of the time, nothing happens. unfortunately for german child goes missing, there's a massive effort to locate them, but nothing gets done when it's a young vietnamese cushion has hit on x. but the question is, how many vietnamese young people have gone under the radar in germany? where are they? and what happens to them? we researched those questions, the months,

making hundreds of inquiries. what we discovered is a state of absolute chaos among the responsible agencies. conflicting answers, contradictory statistics. one thing is sure, hundreds are unaccounted for with most of those thought to be in berlin. and the numbers have been growing for years. but on go to why aren't police looking for them? is the search for missing illegals only becomes active when certain criteria are met. for instance, if there is the possibility that someone's in danger, it was. and that metric doesn't apply to young vietnamese and bite him. but usually this is danger, doesn't apply when it comes to the missing vietnamese. young people who've been smuggled in probably furnished so 1000000000 criminal authorities see no danger. and at the same time, vietnamese children are disappearing all over europe. in france,

belgium and the netherlands. i mean, they are, as usual, kirsty alena named melcher goldman, would oklahoma in 67 young vietnamese disappeared from high security facilities like this one in the netherlands journalist santa telling an uncovered the story. she's been investigating the facial refugee minus in europe for years. we were looking for a story that won't reveal and what kind of problems there were. and to show that there was really a problem we started to look into that sheltered at was most protected. we have 2 of them in the netherlands, one in the north, and one in a south, both of secret locations telling and is the 1st journalist in the netherlands to investigate the secret facilities. i got loads of internal documents so i could learn

a lot from that. they place and night watch in front of the building. they locked the windows, but what they see is that the children still nice from the kitchen to break open the windows. they spray perfume on the fire alarm, which makes the door and goes open. and vehicles were already waiting outside these high secu. she facilities. and what you could see is that it looks like they disappear voluntarily because they go away by themselves. but the pressure on them is so high because they have to pay depths. and today's traffic girl in depth reporting at least a wave of outrage in the netherlands. the government reacted by launching a wide ranging investigation who biagspraya is telling his boss. he was surprised at the results of the investigation almost from within. the last i give the bottom line of the report was that many, many vietnamese minors have simply disappeared. it's really been more than our own

research uncovered as you to be precise and fully 90. 7 percent of those registered as minors in the netherlands have disappeared without a trace. i get the all because they are miners. they should receive special protection in the netherlands and others for us, which one? it's the same story in germany. the disappearance of young vietnamese is precisely planned and executed as will shineseal, as it looks as if these miners have very precise instructions that they adhere to this and i know who to contact and where they have to go. was there a meeting points and things like that or some of them are picked up directly outside our facilities with from all tools alabama when you were in berlin her yes. yes is albany where exactly. how strauser or something like that of i show number 128, and from that i know for sure, you know what was it some kind of house. what was there club houses for vietnamese

clubs. exactly. and there was a tram line on the street from where we drove inside the 1st gate that i still remember with a more than provider or form or if you are a bright trans so that we entered through a gate after driving past an old house on the 1st restaurant on the left and there should be a yellow, a vietnamese restaurant to dorothy, our full understanding of that's where we let them out. tom with us, i won't. and that's where they were picked up the computer at the 1st restaurant turn. ah, lines supposed father is one of those who made the pickups. berlin, police had him and his accomplices under surveillance and were monitoring their communications. in fact, berlin and polish authorities were investigating the same smuggling ring,

but they weren't sharing their findings. there was no co operation whatsoever, despite the fact that the missing points for traffic is, were an open secret. senior management at the detention facilities confirmed that there were cases of human trafficking. once policemen formed security, the facilities was increased. but he's a 3 call yet. louise human track picking runs through these hubs. he says horse they have safe houses where basic needs are taken care of or fire. the safe houses are usually rented. apartments, mostly larger apartments, their sublet, through people who belong to the smuggling network, or through 3rd parties who apparently have nothing to do with the illegal activities. and these apartments are used as a cover for human trafficking. good. ah none and her little sister lived at one of these safe houses. their proportion father also brought other trafficking victims. from the dawn,

sean sent her to the apartment whither were held captive. sometimes they were kept for weeks until smuggling payments were completed. often up to 5 people lived here at the same time. ah, yes, my fellow cousin billy will via even right here in berlin. we investigated cases where smugglers put people in the safe houses and. and they were only allowed to leave once the smuggling fee and was paid off the fun. yeah, i usually it was the family back in vietnam who paid on this slide because there were cases where payments weren't kept up with. and that's when the abuse started as a means of pressuring the family to pay the remaining balance. the license due to retention etzky is with ex pat, a world wide network of organizations who advocate for children's rights. a pat has

sponsored the most comprehensive study to date of trade with vietnamese mine. as in europe, i investigated se smugglers charged between $5.00 and $20000.00 to transport people from viet nam to germany. that's far more than most families can afford. first it's always 10000. the money has to come from somewhere and the smugglers demand payment. no, i'm good. yes. and then they have to work it off for their exploitation. forced to work that's. that's what happened. and who do they work for it? for the traffic as he was me when they have to work off their debts. this is, this dependent relationship doesn't end once the debt has been settled and most often it continues because the victims find themselves trapped in a kind of downward spiral mountains. how do we actually define human trafficking? and how does that differ from smuggling?

your cameron sikowski is the leading expert in the study of human trafficking in germany. he's a professor at martin lou, 2 university in hollow written bag mantra. humble is horseman choice, and human trafficking is usually connected to smuggling, but the term implies forced exploitation noise. on 5th ordered, illegal smuggling is defined as transporting people into a country illegally, the hours for it on to see the goal of human trafficking is exploitation order. people are sold or recruited without any saying where they'll end up boy to they aren't ask good because it's a done deal by law. i'm for, they are treated as objects around be mean not as people with right jennifer soon with language from those who are recruited in viet nam, a, victimized long before they reach germany. like yo yo, where do they work? she or they work as taylors. she'll be, are here,

they so close are like here, for example, whole trucks full of clothes and they, so them all to ship girl illegally. they're all illegal singular garden, you should have crossed the border illegally for one. so that means they're sewing illegally to pay off their cancer. your forward from here. oh, at this spot in 2017 polish authorities fried vietnamese slave laborers from a sewing factory. among them with children and minus partial profile until they worked off their debts. it doesn't matter where they are in poland, germany, france, or elsewhere sponsored hampshire to that river oxygen. they have to work off their deaths in nuclear. it's logical to osha, read all of us. all right, so they sit down and get to work today. charlotte and when someone galks or can't take it any more, you know,

things get physical staggering that they would all be george wrote off the good of yeah. to hold you, go and caution the smuggling mafia attracts its victims with much sweet of visions of upright people. ah, i mimi do. the daughter vietnamese refugees was born in the us. she moved to handle a years ago to lead the fight against human traffickers and their brutal methods of much of the mafia is recruitment is done via social media. so social media, i promise you the world and wonderful salaries and also the ability to bring your families over again. and what do such office look like, files that this is an advertisement of work to work in finland. and you're being promised monthly salary between 18 hundreds of $2500.00 euros, which is $50.00 to $60000000.00 in i'm done per month. it's only by 8 hours

a working per day as 6 days a week. the employer will pay for all the meals, insurance, personal income taxes have you also found hosts mentioned in germany as the destination country. that emily, dated for sure. those lofty promises meet with harsh reality here at berlin's wattenberg train station. though she had heart problems, land was forced to sell cigarettes. her boss was the human traffic of that city authorities believed was her father. in response to questions, the berlin agency responsible for education and families, confirmed many young vietnamese have been arrested on charges of a legal tried in cigarettes in some a 2019 berlin. law enforcement also confirmed the existence of criminal gangs who smuggle children. and one is to germany for exploitation.

the 1st news accounts made headlines across europe. the interior committee of berlin's house of representatives named a chief investigative for organized crime. but he assured the public that no schumann trafficking was taking place in the gym and capitol to criterion for as far as we're concerned in the criteria for human trafficking, in the context of smuggling, aren't that filled in most cases of food, stay indigo. those who put their trust in smuggling networks know beforehand that they will naturally have to earn some money. does he not money that might not be available before the smuggling began? since i've been to begin this flows and they know that the smuggling network will give them opportunities to work lucky to earn money, which in turn is returned to the smuggling ranks of which often both it may seem like exploitation pleased, but it doesn't have to be void to her,

so i am most are banish. ah lans. a legend sister was 15 years old and worked as a manicurist for $300.00 euros a month. i. the number of vietnamese run now studios has grown exponentially over the past few years. it's a lucrative side hustle of the human traffic. is illegal employment exploitation, inhumane working conditions going incidents of elicit labor, a being reported in many german cities, including dormant keyson essence and wooster. more and more often, when police and customs officials raid nail studios, they find undocumented vietnamese nationals, including numerous minors. for instance, in the town of fulda, in the state of hessen, beyond the zones and control in august,

i am certain that our nail studio raids only uncovered the tip of the iceberg. all these are selected braids versus flesh. we believe that miners are being forced to work in nail studios all across germany. just comb alonzo now investigations and interrogations, point to a central point of reference and were landed for door from there with somebody at the means. laborers are sent throughout germany to work in nail studios and in august to joe's of the hours of diagnosis be in great britain as well. the number of vietnamese run nail studios is growing rapidly and he to police writes, often turn up undocumented miners. many don't even know where they are or how they got there. i believe is how did you get here? what about the trap engine needler?

when i was brought here from vietnam in trucks, i don't know how many countries we drove through or how many times we changed vehicles. the vixen wilson dependent held captive, exploited by schumann traffickers. year on year we said increase the number of de abbas, and i will be expected to work incredibly long hours for low autopay and a false to the rates as well. the british government ordered the comprehensive inquiry in hopes of gaining insight into the vietnamese human trafficking network. the investigation was led by debbie beetle, the children's rights organization ex pat the results released in 2019 showed that many of the victims were brought to britain via germany. first, chaskin vietnamese people has been identified age kind of really the last 10 years

. and what we need to really look at is the map money that's being made. you know, these traffic is making quite huge amounts of money. you know, and really we need to be making sure that we are vent in this, from happening. the victims of being supported vaughn will, people are being supported and that these people are prosecuted for crimes that they've committed so great britain handles this problem much differently than germany. in such cases, nail studio owners can be convicted of crimes related to shooting trafficking. oh, that's possible because of the modern slavery act voted into law by the british parliament in 2015. but bill be now read the 3rd time. whether is that opinion say, ah, of the country? no. the eyes have it. the eyes hunger because the injustice to

resume than interior minister champion the legislation as an effective way to combat human trafficking. and then one slave react was a really good step in the u. k. to try and tackle the issue of i'm human trafficking and we have seen it and bring in unfair support for police and kind of made it simpler for them to be after prosecutions of trafficking him on slavery. the national crime agency in london, britain's lead agency in the fight against organized crime and human trafficking. robert richardson that leads a special unit dedicated to combating human trafficking. he coordinates all investigations currently and way nationwide. allow victims of slavery a forced into commonality. and what was preventing those victims coming false?

law enforcement was fear of been prosecuted themselves. and so the new legislation, clothes, a provision for those crimes that have been committed and forcibly. and so that encourages victims to come forward much more readily than they would have done previously. standardized criteria for human trafficking, centralized registration victims. with these guidelines in place, the scope of the problem is becoming more clear. the numbers are rising, especially among vietnamese, nearly $900.00, a documented each year, girls and boys, half of them under 18 many of them are apprehended in a legal cannabis farms like this one. children working as virtual slaves for the drug cartels. there is a significant number of kind of his farms ha,

a run by vietnamese organizations. so we, we recognize that often is, you know, young young men, you know, from age 50, generally a coat coerced into a tendon and growing plants to working conditions in congress. fobs incredibly dangerous their prey, her anderson hobo condition, say they are often a one of them and seeping on the floor where there be bought takeaways or food either a daily basis. so a few days at a time. and they have, they're surrounded by pants. i'm at the smell is quite strong. there's lots of chemicals on that. be watching those plans. there be lights on them or the times again. you know almost like tortuous conditions where they don't know when he's day or night. ah, my name is han, i'm 15 years old. born in a small village, we were very poor. ah,

this video was released by a cat in an effort to make the british public aware of what it calls modern day slavery, forced upon vietnamese children. one day a man came and said he had worked for me abroad and that i could send money back home with. it was like a dream come true. but when we arrived in great britain, he brought us into a big apartment in a city. we were told to look after the plants, he said we owed him money and that if we tried to run away, he'd kill us. it had also launched campaigns like this one to inform the british press about this growing problem. in the meantime, british authorities have taken a hard line against human traffickers in stop contrast to germany. currently,

when we look at modern slavery investigations, there's a total of approximately 1900 investigations on off those, you know, several 100 will be specifically targeting criminal exploitation, which includes, you know, kind of is farms that are kind of managed by vietnamese victims of traffic. but german and polish officials have also been covered. illegal cannibals farms run by vietnamese along with the mostly young workers, harris to care for the crops medical, tricky drugs, medical marijuana and methamphetamines and smuggling and smuggling. and it's the same people who do those song. yes, they're one in the same, you know, it's a summer and where does the product end up door?

lin marine? ah, one of these suspects is lance purported father. he allegedly picks up smuggle people in mosul along with crystal, met for sale in the gym capital. oh, the stand and whether it's the sale of drugs, all the production of narcotics i, these are among the lines of tre declined by the vietnamese organizing crime syndicates went on and smuggling serves the purpose here as well as harsh as it sounds. they are a continuing supply of human resources like mom, the organized criminal gangs, bring them in for use in their other spheres of activity. not headlines, helping and dominant when finance open a case of human trafficking 100 as a classic case of human trafficking. the british embassy and berlin,

january 2020 a workshop sponsored by the us based pacific link foundation. deep fung spearheads this international charity. on this day, she is making clear the dimensions of human trafficking of vietnamese to europe, british belgian and german investigate his own attendance. what great britain success in combating the smugglers is the central fame. but sebastian, now down of berlin's criminal justice agency, thinks it's unwise for countries to compare strategies. yes, every nation has different legal definitions of smuggling and human traffic cancelled. and that means we have to be very careful as it was in this context. when can we can't simply compare the justice systems of other european countries with each other and under fog light. in 2005 germany signalled its support for an international law that codified a definition of human trafficking. it was sponsored by the european council. kevin

holland was a chief inspector for scotland yard. and britain's 1st independent anti slavery commissioner. now he's in charge of monitoring observance of the european council's human trafficking convention. every countries definition should come from the council. you're a convention, and i know they're all differences technically. and there were differences in psalm interpretations, but ultimately the definition created by the counselor of your convention. i mean to national instruments. clearly lays out well a crime is on. that's what country will be assessed on. highland believes germany hasn't yet lift up to its commitments. he adds the european council report of 2019 clearly highlights the weak points. there is no a national process for supporting victims, also the positive duty to investigate crimes. so there is

a pro active investigation that should happen. i also think there are, you know, areas that are missing like a, an independent rapper, toro commissioner, someone to look at the stitch you ation across germany. and you know, then that consistency. oh, monitoring over a period of years. germany's lexa daisy corresponds to the problem, plays directly into the hands of the human traffickers. in berlin, stone, john center land was forced to work as a messenger transporting thousands of euros for the criminal gangs. did the quoted system work as a waitress? the exploitation of vietnamese mine is continues to take place before our very eyes and yet 1000000000 authorities as skeptical as to whether the young victims. trudy are under age and a cancer from your floss. a large number of the vietnamese that we take into custody and claim that they are under 18 oxy neely. in reality, it's

a different story was does view in our experience, when we come to the conclusion that the large majority of smuggled vietnamese who say they are miners of us aren't actually under age, was always given position. at least we know you'll accent october 2019 on the outskirts of london. these victims were definitely mine as boys and girls in a smuggling operation gone wrong. there she, 9 people died of a 60 ation in the back of a truck all with vietnamese. one of the victims, it was the 17 year old boy, his friend had just turned 18 when he died. 12 days before, both of them disappeared from a facility in the netherlands. they were in germany before embarking on the journey, the cost them their lives. the hum, giggling they lived in this house for a few months, was once when they were brought here, after police pulled them out of the back of a truck or touched is a truck was from germany lunch. and the people found in this truck were loaded into

it near cologne. and i live on code and is industrial. i understand shortly before she died, one of the victims wrote a note to her mother back home. ah, this is somebody dying. and yet there was no blaming the network. no blaming anybody who sold toward that ticket. no saying things like, i wish i didn't do this. in the n, it was just, i'm sorry, this is, i'm not making it. so the smartest with something that we work

well it's, it's the cultural weapon that they wield very adapt lee, right. and they keep people and that bondage they are able to make sure that people shut up and never tell the neighbors about the treacherous journey that they've been on today to lives illegally in warsaw. a polish court sentenced on j to 3 years and 6 months in prison on charges connected to human trafficking. ah, lands fate is unclear. hey, purported father was arrested in berlin on smuggling charges and sentenced to 3 years in prison. but the term human trafficking is no way to be found in his court

house. the official records, the 2019 showed that there were only 7 cases of human trafficking, a vietnamese in germany. ah, ah. oh africa, naturally living the environment. and what the sophisticated design a t t has been focusing on green and affordable

housing. and so whether the harsh desert climate, eco africa in 30 minutes on d. w. i facts most parts of the world, or at least for monday, they're experiencing some with see water. but desalination is energy intensive and expensive. of berlin based start up shows us. it doesn't have to be this way, global 3090 minutes on d w. and how many portion of large us heard out in the world right now to climate change? very often story. this is much less the way from just one week. how

much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm doing all with his subscriber. all morning he was like ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, ukraine resumes grain shipments to the world, cargo vessels off across the black sea of the turkey to play it safe to sail that the 1st to export ukrainian brain by sea. since the start of russia.
