everything this week on d w the, this is data between use live from goods in the kremlin. so island on possible weapons talks between russia and north korea. us media site can jump on a is planning to visit flooded me a foot. 2 nations had previously committed to close the military corporation. also coming up here besides that on compass a trafficking ring, recruiting people to fight for russia into crime authorities. believe cubans was signed up both in their homeland ending brush and exit us from the visit month by

thousands joined long lines. the latest organizes the of the building man festival in nevada. finally opened the on the road and the anthony had welcome to the program. the kremlin is refusing to comment on claims by us officials that the north korean lady can jump on is to hold talks on supplying russia with weapons for the bowl in ukraine. the us national security council says negotiations between russia and north korea actively advancing. the 2 nations had previously committed to close the military cooperation of north korea's military might on full display just celebration in july, smoking the 3 and will around me is this russian defense minister said gauge. troy

goose stood side by side with the north korean president. the parade in the capital p on yen made a big show of north korea's expanding nuclear program. but what russia needs is most simple munition. notably, artillery shows an empty tank missiles, as many as they can get. e u officials estimate that russia has fired around $50000.00. hillary shells per day since inviting ukraine. international sanctions have limited most of those options to replenish it supplies. and so it appears to have time to north korea young young hold significant quantities of our munition. although analysts are unsure about the quantity of it stockpiles. but north korea can also offer rome materials, particularly i n o, which rush i can use to ramp up its own production of shelves. another question for

ukraine's western allies is what russia might give in exchange. in the immediate to him, food is a top priority for p on young years of cove. it looked downs and struggling sanctions. have many north koreans. on the brink of famine, south korea suspects russia has offered to hold, joined to naval trails, with china and north korea, and mirror to the annual exercises held between south korea and the united states. but many also see a russia may offer advanced technologies that could be used to fit the pre own young's nuclear program. a prospect that would violate over a dozen un sanctions die adults because a is a fellow at the royal united services institute after early a how much we really know about north korea's military capability. thanks for hiring me. um yeah. so it's easy. so this is a perennial issue where i'm trying to study north korea the fact that it is a very close off country. so there's very little publicly available data for us to

draw on just a little bit hard to truly quantifier falls higher than or 3 in military program capabilities, production capacity. but what we do know is that north korea has historically been a prolific ex, border of military goods, military technology, and 2 countries. i can't source that elsewhere. so countries that are under sanctions themselves are under arms and marco's so they come to north tree, often times as a supplier of last resort. so north korea's exported small arms, but it's also ex, sportage, and maintenance services. it's export is corruption, utilities for uh, for weapon systems as well as a military personnel in the past to other countries. so i give this little bit of an idea of sort of what, what the options are potentially on the table for um, for any agreement, for military transfers from north korea to russia. if there were to be any

treatments of the little we know it does sound like put in is not going to be getting any new capability as such. he's just replenishing supplies the numbers that he made. so his forces can keep doing what they already doing. is that fair enough? hey, i think it's a little bit hard to um, to really know for sure, but i think you're probably right. i expect that what more pre in support would provide in this instance, would be to replenish the q set production and really back so production capability and skip ability that. yeah, they just aren't able to keep pace with in russia. although there might be some, some materials that process and producing solves that are straight to provide as well. daria, what about north korea's apparent wishes to obtain, besides food advanced military technology? what exactly does king jungle wants? and what can russia deliver back? the other way?

that's going to make a difference to north gray is capabilities. yeah, well, you mentioned the food fertilizer. um oil uh will be no drip top of mind for young. this is the how do we have a sanction country, so it's very difficult to get anything into the country, although they do manage to, to evade sanction. but in terms of military transfers, i expect to ask more 3 would be interested in procuring advanced capabilities. i know there's been some reporting over one confirmed of an interesting charging of nuclear propulsion submarine technology, satellite technology. so that might be on, i'm trying specialist nursery has been known to cooperate with other jurisdictions to advance its missile capabilities as well was it's your program. so i got those may not be things that are 3 i'm reviewing to obtain from russia. 3 adults because

from the royal united services institute for defense and security studies. thank you so much for your time. i as well. cuba says it has uncovered a trafficking ring, recruiting people to fight the russia and ukraine. the government in havana believes the organization signed up cubans living in russia as well as the homeland cuba is a close ally of russia. but give us foreign ministry, stressed it is not involved in the will and you try it as a battle 3rd, he's working to dismantle the network. so can mccloud, at the university of copenhagen advises the united nations on this? and the reason i asked to what makes recruiters target a particular country to disagree question um, i can't speak specifically about the situation in cuba, but what the you in work can do for new use of merced mesa seen recently. and it was the last couple of years isn't increasing what we call predatory recruitment.

and that's where countries that are not necessarily involved in the non conflicts are turning to other countries as a source of most of range recruits. and we've seen this happening. i have 4 calls like to fact to countries like syria, for example. we're um, the comes like russia and i took you have to sort to, to, to create individuals from that country to sleep in places. yes. like you claim. but also in places like libya and not go look at the cause they tend to go to cadillac. why would anyone risk a life to fight in a rush symbol? it's the, it's, it's, it's hard to say why had individuals which would choose to fight, but the working group has, has just published a report for the human rights council on try to treat recruitment. and the information that we have received is that individuals who are living in

a conflict affected country also have no other source of income. they're in a purse with 0 economic circumstances. unemployment is as high. it might be that the have a fighting experience because they live in a more more effective country. and so they, they see the, the, the opportunity to earn money as us, as a, you know, us as a, as a solution to, to the, their socio economic problems. but we also have information that people are being explosive. the people are being forced to put under duress to become mercer's. we certainly have information coming to go to syria, that that is, the thought is the case. so we see that the threats are being made against them, against their families. they're being induced by things, not just money, but also by the promises of citizenship for the country. but

they're, they're being in there. there's lots of different reasons why people will turn to turn to flight se we've also seen in the context of ukraine, the, the russia, to the group increases prisoners from from russian prison prisons. and again, you have the, this, the 2 fold approach. some of them are doing it willingly in return for getting their, their sentences adventures. but there was we also received information that some were being were being forced and coerced into into, into fine chain. so there are lots of complex reasons behind why somebody will a good one flies in and on conflict. and in terms of reliability on the russian side, then how reliable based on this and raise funding for russia is the system of recruitment in the plane. and working for the russian military well, the, what we saw was the,

the prisoners had been recruited to flights on the russian side for uh, wagner. in the conflict and you were creating the information that we have is that they are very poorly trained. they don't have access to to, there's a good, a weapons under there, essentially calvin folder, they're being present as the 1st line of, of attack in, in the, in the conflict. so the, the casualty rates are extremely high for, for people who have been present in this fashion. and so it says here it is a, as a, as a, as a means of slicing the, they're probably not especially effective. so can mccloud, are you an expert on the use of mass? maurice, thank you so much for your time today. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world. the world food program is cutting. i the 2000000 atkins, blaming a massive short fulton funding. 10000000 people in afghanistan and now cut off from

nearest highway. a summer storm had left them stranded heavy rains to turn the ground at the annual counter culture celebration into a sea of mud happens opened up on friday. the rain tore down installations, leading organizers to cancel events, and institute a driving bad as a safety precaution. when the rain came down, we'll just kind of went back to our tense and hung out with each other and waited until it stops. it was incredibly muddy. we had to a lot of us put bags over our shoes or tape them over our feet in order to protect our fee or our shoes. but overall, it wasn't bad, nothing bad happened. it was just money. the tired revellers carrying mud covered bags at the nearest airport in reno, offered mixed feelings about this year's event. i had an amazing time. would i want

to do it again for another 3 or 4 days to say, where is the last 3 for this? never. but we're not in the trenches in the ukraine. we're not in in the refuge account. we are, we're playing a game together in the desperate i wish that there was a little bit more communication in terms of events like this, the special for those of us who come knowing we can't get refunds. and just knowing that we spent a lot of time and money to get out here, the annual burning man celebration attracts tens of thousands of musicians. artists, an activist, every year. community and self reliance are among the core principles of the annual gathering values which were very much put to the test at this year's event. all right, before we go, here's a reminder that top story, this of the kremlin is not commenting on us claims that north korea's late akim junk phone is planning to make. president vladimir took a toll on supplying russia with, with 2 nations,
