the coin is great for investing the invest. these are the everyone here just wants to get into big old quite a bit. coins, digital gold and we want it to stay here in central and south america. they are known as big queen arrows, digital, gold, diggers. investors from all over on moving to latin america in search of bitcoin treasure. nowhere is the crypto currency value more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruin. we were promised high speed rails, but so far there is no sign of the coin in latin america starts august 18th on dw, the a new sierra gamed independence of the 9060 since then for cruise have shaken the west african country. and yet this year in the eyes of the west remains a rare point of political stability and the content. but what about the latest qu, number 5, last week?
10:31 pm
earlier this year, the us a couple of this year, a model of democracy. it's also a pivotal partner in america's war on tier. to night, the stakes, their high for news year, it's neighbors. and for the security of a super pop, i break off in berlin. this is the day the, the for the forces of a foreign power are ready to attack new share and it's people in coordination with echo was an armed terrace groups. i think for now that is not a likely way to possibly please on reaching out and a pre deployment of forces to participation. this more has begun in 2 countries of central africa, but that the deadline to present to echo with troops thus far have been made, an attempt to go indeed essentially the please give me sherry and has one. this is
10:32 pm
up to this point. also it coming up more and more africans find themselves in the hands of human traffickers. does it have to be this way? a question tonight for you or? and there's always going to be a demand for the safe havens and the job opportunities that you are promises. the more europe tries to shop to supporters rather than manage its borders. the more people smuggling in the business of human trafficking rises to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with the crew inside this year. and the threat of military intervention from l saw last week, the military and this year seized power, detaining president mohammed buzzing, a crew that drew international condemnation and the threat. the military
10:33 pm
intervention by echo was the west african economic and monetary union on sunday to shares military home to ignored a demand. but you call was to reinstate the president. you can watch as imposed sanctions on the military industry here. and it's called a summit, an emergency summit for this thursday. well, there are us and european interest at risk in this crisis. more than 1000 us soldiers are stationed in the country. washington has spent half a $1000000000.00 training. the syrian armed forces in counter terrorism against as long as the extreme is there's, there's also a major transit route for migrant heading for europe. will this latest to change any of this? for now, the military junta is in control and it is warning the outside world not to intervene as fast. i did the rest of intervention being prepared in the neighboring country. new jerry and aerospace has closed from today. the 6th of august 2023 for
10:34 pm
all aircraft until further orders. all attempts to violate the missionary and national air space will be the object of a forceful, an instantaneous response for energy as companion. the window of opportunity is definitely still open. we believe that the edition step aside and allow present presume to resume his duties tomorrow today, tomorrow, any time in the near future, i don't want to put an assessment on when that window would be closed. other than to say that i'm using diplomacy to achieve this objective is our top priority with respect to new share and we continue to pursue it or the one to bring in. now bureaus, you know, he's a military analyst with the foundation for defense of democracies. he was in bed with us and canadian forces in racking up dana stand and joins us from medford new jersey tonight. it's good to have you with us, the us government,
10:35 pm
the european union, european governments. they are watching the situation in this year very closely. for our viewers, you may not be familiar with the situation to tell us why is instability in this year? why is it a problem for the us? and it's alex or from a keller, from a regional perspective. african, the sub saharan africa has been sliding into chaos, largely due to there's been multiple crews in the region and also some very vibrant jo, hottest and server insurgencies from both al qaeda and the as lomax state. and for that 2nd reason, think your thoughts, insurgencies, me shares become one of the main hopes for fighting for monitoring and battling these groups, particularly since molly's crew. 2 years ago the french were kicked out from there . molly has descended into chaos. much of the northern and central part of molly are under just let us controlled or out of reach of the government. and the us has
10:36 pm
a major base there where it's conducting drawing and operations and other error operations to monitor these groups and providing information to the countries in the region. and with this to that, um, all of that is in jeopardy. yeah. what happens then? they'll, if we do see chaos, i'm sustained in these here what, what, what can the united states do? i mean, it's invested, bought half a $1000000000.00 in training new jerry and armed forces, and is it going to have to just walk away from that to 60 us options in the region unless it wants to insert its military, which given the box. ready and a rack and the last can is down and the color, the problems that the us is having with back and recreating government against russia. he's going be very difficult for the us to get militarily involved in
10:37 pm
france would have to get involved. they're just the allies in the region are dwindling. and if the new share and government decides to object to us from that date, there's 2 bases where the us are operating from there. but one of them is a major tub for activity. i see that there's very little that the us can do unless that wants to get his hands dirty and get involved in a war and sub saharan africa where it has very little assets and very little ways in perhaps there. um it could cooperate with countries like nigeria and, and some others. but i think the, i think this is very, very difficult situation for the us. it's options are limited. it would probably have to leave the country of order to to so it has order to the who is ordered plans to leave. and we'll see how that plays out. this could be a foreign policy, p r. disaster for it, for the united states. just earlier this year you have the us secretary of state saying that you have is a model of democracy in africa. and now you've got washington. i'm describing the
10:38 pm
situation in this year, but not using the word could. how did you read the? is this washington engaged in a, a bit of denial, a it's a bit of denial and also if they do use the term code, it does trigger. it does limit some of us options in what it can and can't do inside of the chair militarily, diplomatically, so it's holding out the us and facing the state department for jacob. we are holding out hope that the coo leaders will relent and the old government is stored . but i think the, the bill, the chances of this dwindled to leave. and at some point, if the, you know, if the crew doesn't suddenly dissolve. busy or fall apart, that us officials are going to have to recognize good faith to complete that the school is permanent. the united states has been over half a $1000000000.00 training,
10:39 pm
new jersey and armed forces in counterterrorism efforts. if there were to be military action, but it was against new share, i've been reading that equal was, would expect the united states to bank roll that with the united states, the bank would financing a war against soldiers that it just trained some of the now apparently the, the, the soldiers and the cool were part of the presidential guards, which were confined to the center. and many of the us backed soldiers who were us trained soldiers were, i'm in the hinterlands actually doing work against your hottest groups. so it's possible that they can organize those forces that have been trained in west closer ties and, and bank roll them like, you know, a lot of money has been spent here. how far does this administration want to get involved in, in sub saharan african politics in order to, you know, i, i think it'd be very, a very difficult, very risky move for the,
10:40 pm
this administration to put possibly billions of dollars out on the line for the chances maybe $5050.00 in having success in defeating the script, the cooling this year. you know, it follows cruise molly and burkina faso, and we've seen at the same time, russian influence growing there. and there are reports that there may even be wagner, mercenary forces, now involved in new share. um, is this a scenario that are we going to see in the share something that happened in molly's just repeat itself? that is certainly possible. father's has been in trenching itself in, throughout africa. poor vladimir approved, the president of russia recently visited there and who has been courting the african countries. wagner certainly has the ability to probably within the chair to put thousands of troops on the ground. at some point. i'm seeing
10:41 pm
a lot of pro russian and even pro 5 minutes sentiment in, in pro crew co write tests that are popping up throughout the capital. so you know this, this is another layer, this is the russian expansion within africa is certainly a problem with united states and for the west. and this is something that you need to keep an eye on as we go forward. yeah. and not to mention the growing chinese influence in africa as well. feel as you have from the foundation for defense of democracies bill's going to have you on the show. we appreciate the analysis. thank you. always the pleasure. thank you very much. dozens of people are missing. following to ship wrecks off, the italian islands, guam, produce. over the weekend. the rescues were made even more difficult by what you see right here. rough stormy seas and the mediterranean, the number of migrants trying to make it to europe. the number of migrants find to
10:42 pm
make it to europe has searched over the last year. many come from sub saharan africa. they make the journey to libya or denisia, and then they try to cross the mediterranean extremely dangerous conditions, often and overcrowded boats. the people making these treacherous journeys, they put their faith in the hands of smugglers. our next report looks at what the smugglers do and why they do a rickety boat overloaded with people in the mediterranean. images like this have become common place. and the last decade as the list of tragic mass drownings continues to grow. why so many people on such old boats in a word, money smugglers charged people thousands of heroes for a place on a boat. crowning them on means more profit, using old boats reduced as costs. the revenue from a single trip can be in the millions, many of those who do the dirty work of smuggling or migrants themselves. but most
10:43 pm
of the money ends up in the hands of international criminal gangs. how much money? it's impossible to say exactly, but european police agencies estimate revenues from smuggling at $3.00 to $6000000000.00 euros per year. that's based on tens of thousands of people paying an average of 2500 year olds per person. so much more up to $7000.00 euros each. the crossing is just one piece of the puzzle. smugglers provide a range of legal services before and after all that extremely high prices. the risk is assumed by the passengers. smugglers are very rarely caught. from many migrants from further south, the trip can start with false documents. an arduous desert crossing often follows by the time people make it to the next stage, they are often out of cash. criminals exploit them as they try to save money to go
10:44 pm
on with their journey. some migrants who make it across or who take the overland roads through turkey and south eastern europe are packed into poorly ventilated trucks. they risk running out of oxygen. well, smugglers drive them across borders. many countries in the region have put up fencing and petrol. there borders to keep migrants out of the smuggling is profitable precisely because it is illegal. the people crossing with smugglers have no legal option to immigrate. if they did, they can take a flight for a few 100 years. last thing a matter of hours. instead they pay thousands for a journey that takes weeks or longer and costs many of them their lives. of the pull in hopes of barker with the border violence monitoring network. she joins be denied from scope here in north macedonia, and i have it's good to have you with this. do you work for the border violence
10:45 pm
monitoring that work just to have violence or european boarders for a legal mind? well, i think the festival for having me on. uh, yeah, definitely. this is a trend that we've been observing as part of the for a saying, i'm less today since 2017, which was about people being picked up being in many cases, torture strip naked, a 1st degree back across the borders, but not being able to claim assign them how much was the amount, this is systematic process that's happening across the circle west in boca great in a way that we kind of divide the responsibility to one single country or one single member state. but anyway, that responsibility lies. but the use, the, as you said, is it's a wonderful to see this was the name of the situation of smuggling. because the, it is impossible to move safely, which creates the humanitarian situation. the smugglers all profiting from. i thought to be causing death as well. what we've monitored is that people are
10:46 pm
increasing the dying drowning in the mediterranean during pushed back, and he lost his own what the latest examples by those types of conditions of being uncovered. do you think that european union authorities do you think that they have the political will to stop these human traffickers? or i think again, if you take it off as an example, i mean, lighthouse reports did an investigation which clearly shows that the smugglers were not the 9 objections that were arrested off to disembarking from the ship. but were actually people in libya that would lead with the eastern vivian or ortiz, who had facilitated arrival from syria, had licensed the boat to navigate in vivian waters. i'm actually connected to a leadership that the us funding billions of years into as way of externalizing migration control and the same the government she lives here. so while you is hanging out packages of millions of dollars to countries that are willing, the perpetrators and human rights violations, they kind of say that they all have the fiscal will to stop forcing people to move
10:47 pm
into the hands of smugglers. well, let me ask you to our top story tonight is about the crisis in this year. and we know that in africa and you have states that are failing their publics. one reason why people are willing to, to migrate and leaving and come to europe. what is your message to the political leaders across africa? what should they be doing so that their people don't want to pick up and leave? and that's a very complex question. i think people will always migrate, i think, regardless of crisis, i mean this crisis might be happening now, but the climate crisis in is incoming and people will be forced to move. so the point is really what can we do as a european states to create a safe and legal pathway so people can leave without risking that task. you haven't seen headlines of smuggling guys, but ukrainians thought because you creating and such safe and legal talk. but if it was possible for that done, so we need to replicate that kind of model for a people seeking sites. do you know there is no unified margaret migration policy
10:48 pm
in the european union? that's been a problem now for for years. what do you say the, to your parents who say i'm, we also have a right to expect countries to protect their borders, a dozen line to protect the voters, and that's violating is national and union human rights law. we have an asylum system in rights and by people have the right to have so individualized assessment to appeal that decision i to have the right to remain in the country until the appeal has gone through. and that is the system that is in line with the international and union human rights. no, and that's what we need to respect. so protecting board is needs to come in line with respecting fundamental rights of people seeking safety who barker with. ready the border violence monitoring network. we appreciate your time in your insights tonight to thank you. thank you.
10:49 pm
the cobit 19 pandemic locked down bunch of the world and it slammed the brakes on those morning and evening commute. in march 2020 hundreds of millions of workers were suddenly told don't come into the office, zoom from home instead. the technology behind the made remote working possible, almost fundamentally altering we're in how we work and even what we, we're to work or we don't wear, but it may have been too good to be true. now assume is telling its employees to come back to the office, at least twice a week. change comes after a drop and demand resume services. following the end of the pin, demi zooms in news in the spring and the on hinge cliff. he's vice president a constellation research that's a technology research and advisory firm that's based in silicon valley. the honest going to have you with this. um, what are we to make of this um has, has that,
10:50 pm
are we looking at a case of zoom fatigue here as well? it's certainly there. that's a little bit of it. but, you know, as soon certainly brought in, i should, in the remote work revolution made it very possible for people to work remotely. but they've also been under a lot of pressure by competition. you know, so microsoft with, with teams and other providers that you know, have jumped into the fray and bracket, they need every edge they can get an executives believe that people in the office are still most productive. you know, that then it doesn't always say that. and so, yeah, it's, it's, uh, yeah, it's an interesting turn of events, but i don't believe it's indicative of, of the broader shift to a hybrid work. where are we right now with that? because we are seeing, even in a tech companies google alphabet, you know, they're towing workers. you guys need to come back into the office. i mean, it's almost as if the, the fundamental change in the way we work that we were talking about in 2020,
10:51 pm
2021. it's almost like that didn't happen as well. it typically if you look at the data, i have remote workers only about 5 or 6 percent of the workforce. and now it's, it's gone back down from almost half to right around 18 and 19 percent. so a change did happen and it's still here. and you're seeing the top tier companies are bringing some of the people back and they really want um, you know, written very hyper competitive times, especially in the tech business. but 2nd tier companies are finding that they can get incredible workers for lower wages in different parts of the country and different parts of the world. and i mean, i hear from, you know, large fortune 500 companies, global 2000 firms. just saying, i can get a broader, more diverse set of talent this way. if i'm willing to accept and not everyone's gonna come into the office every day. so receive up this pay spectrum of people of companies that have gotten rid of their in their facilities entirely. there's large companies that actually have done that. and then there is, there is a shift back,
10:52 pm
especially in hyper competitive industries where executives believe that workers are more productive even though workers where they craved that flexibility. and some of the data says that they are not, there are more predicted when they have a choice to where, where, where to work and what we are seeing. definitely a more push back against coming back to work. and then we would have seen, you know, 33 years ago do, can we credit that? what z may possible? i mean, you, in the united states in particular, you hear people now all the time talking about this work, life balance and, and was wanting to have a healthy balance either 3 or 4 years ago. you know, no one talked about that as well. and i think what we're seeing is, is there is some splitting of the difference in that a lot of companies are adopting a tuesday and thursday must come into the office or take any 2 days of the week. come in. instead of giving workers that flexibility and especially, you know, certain certain demographics, especially women who have
10:53 pm
a lot of responsibilities outside the workplace. uh for care giving and health care and things like that. they're the ones that been on fairly penalize and data shows that they were, they were dramatically impacted compared to other demographics. and so i think it's really important for companies not to go all the way back. and we're seeing that there is, i mean, a lot of flexibility is staying much more than we had before. 2020. but yes, there's certainly a push in certain quarters to go back to the office, but it's not going back. it's never going to go back to the way it was and or we have been created. it may be a hands, it have not work for us because the have central workers that we talk about people who work in the grocery store as people who work in the post office to mail delivery. know that these people, they, they can't work from home. they have to physically go to where the work is carried out. that is not going to change. they haven't benefitted from any of this or the, um they're going to benefit, i believe some, some of the more flexible policies that we see. but you're,
10:54 pm
you're absolutely right. there is, this is very much a story of equity and inclusion and remote workers are never going to be as included as on site workers and the on site workers who has to be there, the health care workers, the front line workers. those also are losing out the automation in many cases. so really you're getting a message is, is a lot of, if you really want a long term career or you have to start looking at maybe not so many frontline roles more, more of those are in the active processes being automated from past due to health care and more, and we're really looking at a world where do you central ization more? do you centralization is really going to be the trend and buddy. but what's amazing is executive leaders don't believe that the data says because it shows that. i know that during the pandemic we heard from a lot of analysts, you know, warnings that if people are at home and they're not going into the office, they're going to lose this human interaction. people are or less creative, maybe even less productive when they're not. they are,
10:55 pm
there's no somebody else has their synergy taking place. but, but what about career climbing? and the fact that people are being forced to come back into the office at least a little bit. isn't that if, if you're in vicious, if you do want to have a career, isn't it in your interest to at least show your face? i mean zoom could actually be your enemy at the end of the day. i so yeah, well i think that spot on got younger workers are just a portion of li affected by my not having the skills and no one knowing how to teach them how to be very effective in a remote situation. and so they missed out on all of that, certain deputy and you can get in a physical office and i and i don't think i'm not saying and i think the research and it says that we're not gonna go all remote. what we're gonna see is much more flexibility to coming and going uh, you know, uh on demand work places where workers can meet in a certain city if they all work with the same company. and this is where co working as blue spaces that become a big deal where you can store extra birds can still get the energy they need from the crowd walk into birds, which, you know,
10:56 pm
always wanted to work alone anyway. i can get what they want because there is no one size fits all and we're in a more flexible, more hybrid environment. the more the best employee employers can support that, the better worker workforce. they're going to try and we're still waiting here in europe for the for day work week. our fingers are still across the level, become a reality. we have to wait and see the unhinge cliff from constellation research. we appreciate your time today. thank the the you're watching the day. we'll see you tomorrow. the
