and so fabulous via s. cocaine is so harmful because it makes you as the person affected independent such that you can no longer complete the task that are worth while to you. because you want to consume all the time is finished. now to understand those 2, i'm cutting my city onto the side comes in the interesting, in those times of consumption, most female patients withdraw socially to a large degree and teen and, and are no longer reachable at halls and garnishment or otherwise the, once he's become an addict chips, hans only about one such succeeding cushing, permanently. all the others relapse, the damage to people, and society is a numerous the from south america contain travels on life of the world on its way to consume,

selling drugs to your refund daysia including cocaine as a meal. before you go to parking lot family quoted material, you're pointing the side of that point on been so i don't know any place to go into the bucket and make sure you have not eaten any for reach of was eating. and when you reach him to play, you just drink water and they gave you for the pretend page before the if they still are not getting sick with. they've gone suspect to on the boat to the 2nd with the get the you'll see of 30 to the airport before you book this vending machine. the person who is went into the opposite of duck going to be taken by the vehicle dot com, go to the 10. so ducking,

gun in the stuff the following. sustainability risk because then be busting us tomorrow. but today, because i need money to supplement my funding this michael cocaine typically ends up in jem and clubs via diaz guessing policy goes high. the road here is to know and a spring, the dangerous the smugglers. like you dress risk getting quotes and going to jail every time they travel. but once you're in the system, escaping is near impossible. a way that the system because no, i cannot get out the door is going to send someone to come and get enough funding to other people because they believe when you get out to the link, the information for the community. i just it does not more on the product because

a lot more 15, a lot of use for my job. sometimes they, they, it does come from my eyes, but i cannot do anything just to be important because the interest knows exactly which rates the nonce quantities of cocaine take from east africa to europe, a lot of studies thing. so last week i just wanted to do it again often and did it goes to 2 days ago to model the data transport using this machine boat and the depth of using tons on the ok now? so does have done cartoon of talk to me with this. i thought a little bit is of using becoming until we just released the automotive oakwood

village courses davis from lydia that concepcion in southern spain. the city is considered the gateway for drug smuggling between africa and geo rep. in the 19 seventy's drug traffic has made the straits of 2 belt as a european base. 50 is the trade. it has been primarily in high sheets, but now there's a new business. cocaine quantities arrive at the port of i've seen us. we have an appointment with mike. he works for one of technology, narcotics contents in spain. we've reached him off to adjust it for such and through various contacts that have led us deeper and deeper into the fray. mike organizes the logistics that drugs can be support unnoticed before that distributed

on a video rep. his salary is $200000.00 euros a month. here he talks to the media for the 1st time, doing his incoming of a bind, as most the he or someone who make sure that the container is not in the register. as soon as possible. the goods, leave the port in a truck in the in columbus or the then it's taken to a safe storage place to see what we've done. i gotta go with it. i see to it that the kids come out of the port and are taken to a safe place. so you might as long as you just say, well, that's where the customers come and pick them up. and when it usually taking them to the coast about a year of the whole little bundle, every year, thousands of kilos of cocaine arrive at the port of i see it us. mike knows exactly how much. but he went say most to log into teams. it's more than people think it's less than the money, but it was months i'll get into again. sorry,

i won't give you numbers of it, but it's more than people realize. all right, one of the about not on. i'm not as ask them. i think the probably going to see them just like the bananas come in and for the oranges and shoes at the end of the day. it's a business like any other. and if there's demand, you have to be there to serve it. as i see, i'm going to have the ones that are, there are smaller independent games that transport cocaine by sp the snow. so what am i talking about? you know, that also works, but the most common and safer way is by container. so i think that's what i want you to get us. and sometimes it tells you speed boats to transport more than $280.00 tons of drugs, including cocaine every month on the 14 kilometer straight separating spain and the real cause. carlos post a swat as well as the spanish customs. he's preparing for an operation,

a night patrol to detect smugglers from morocco on the strait of 2 protest. it's no sign common for customs and police officers to chase down smugglers. often they escapes because they take great to risk. i'm dr. foster. carlos and his colleagues are prepared for anything. the, the we carry weapons and sometimes we do use them. it's not frequent, rather rare, actually, but they can be used in the facility inside of k yours, but it's clear that when they are used, it's only as a deterrent to stop them when they're making very dangerous maneuvers. it's an in network and expensive sites. in 2018 spain launched a security plan to tackle illegal drug smuggling. in mid 2020,

its budget was increased by 48200000 euros. although arrests have increased, the problem is still fall from under control. carlos, his radar indicates movement, safety reasons, we turn off the cabin lights and what does the move or save it? okay, they will and protected the possible target on radar way. they mean lesson? yeah, it's very things you mean, but something is moving or preparing for anything to positively. i said what do auto and then when it was gonna continue moving into bear. here we can see that it's moving a little approached slowly and prepare in case of the smuggler then carlos and his team pick up speed crossing the ocean at a 100 kilometers an hour. something is there,

but okay. the it has no life. okay . we lost it, it was a false alarm, but we have to check everything. we'll get the model. let's see a so rough. it's hard to distinguish between ways and a possible target. the possibility of this is sometimes there are choices and it's not easy to stay calm. and keep your cool man of us see if we can get a bit dicey though to the safety

always comes 1st. so we are going to, in other words, staying alive is more important than catching the smuggler aside. police officers estimate the top 10 speed boats in drugs to show here if we 92 to 3 times a week, they can track down and convict smokeless film tia by the spanish civil god. the deal sowards. he's also often acknowledged contained fines in the course of, of his data. in early 2022 to tons of cocaine was found in a container declared as frozen as time. both ortiz are primarily concerned with

tracking down the people behind it. here police are preparing for a rage. they allow us to accompany the dangerous operation. or it's already sunday, a. d. we start to know, preparation to tackle money a lot of drainage and will carry have 6 rates and will tediously in the provinces of kathy's and malika. here we go. we start with the colleagues, the storm, the buildings of the special unit. again, this is an area with use unemployment high as an 80 percent. the average wage is 1050 year as a month in just one day, smugglers can and several 1000 years. and so more or more young people getting involved in the legal drug business style. another thing that we never know who will find behind the door eat, i'm gonna,

when the danger is always in the unknown. these avian, usually things turn out well, but there have been cases where we have run into dangerous situations and, you know, some even involving gunfire. 100, obviously, the regular rates are intended to dismantle the criminal structures. there was several raids like this one and at least 2 days a week. the, the moments just before the rate of the most dangerous. we stay back the the operation goes smoothly. the suspect is arrested without resistance. the next step is to search the place with infancy bill cycle here in italy,

we've recovered money and we live within 6000 euros. and so they think couple of a mental we also find a large hole of 5 or 6 meters, but that was a name and thought it was under a cabinet. so it was very likely intended as a hiding place. so can you tell me that the way that we'll see you say start to handle the trial? we document everything important so that there is clear evidence, somebody who is you and i think also and the fact is that that'd be so this is a bi smuggling with cocaine and money laundering. been been men, which is to say that the drug trafficking and could have every dollar, both of them and you see the, i think it's a huge asset by the coast guard and the police. and yet nadine yet remains a gateway to europe's the hashish and cocaine. nowhere in europe, a more narcotic sees than in spain, with its thousands of kilometers of maritime coast, both during the mediterranean and atlantic. many 50 tons of cocaine was seized by

spanish authorities in spain in 2020. and yet that's just a drop in the ocean deal is any local the, you know, a competitor cocaine business is running the world by anything, by the government. you buy what you need to, why and the people you need to buy to make your business run well, but because it's so much money people get involved in that off at some of the expensive neighborhoods in the ninette didn't exist until a few years ago when the residents money comes from is an open secret. the push of rusted them. the knowledge is to deep water, poor senior rep. millions of containers the handles here every year. and it's impossible to check each one for contraband. and at the last large quantities of cocaine and being intercepted here with increasing frequency,

we needs customs offices in that daily work. for security reasons, we not revealing the names. they're on their way simona to the containers using a brand new procedure. the number of containers checked here has increased 10 fold the individual containers and no longer open this before instead and as some police taken unsecured data. doke, skin efficiency checks the samples without having to be led to each container. working with a civics it is of course my 30 minutes. a very container. we only need 3 minutes per container to extract the air. normally it takes me much longer to feel so now we can check many more containers. i can look over the whole thing now even works on the board of shit and i have no control across the question. get ears of each container,

they are 2 degrees and then goes on to move back. then we take it to the control station where the dog can work and piece you can imagine that the dog has to do it here between the containers and the noise is more difficult. the end of our system and the order settled. and the cost involves this um, i don't know both adults can and recognize these smiles depending on what kind of sniffer dulcie use. some of them come what he is trained to do at the custom station, the samples that were opened for the dog. this and i was the dope to check 6 container samples that once in the shortest possible time, it's a game changer for international customs also reduce the dog signals that he seems to have smelled the narcotic, the suspicious contain. it is the actual now will. so x rayed with

a mo bile x rays system. the lot of seen the posting a crossover to go on next step investigating the dog's check was positive, meaning we need confirmation, so it goes to the mobile scan. but here it turned out that the container is negative after all. so the journey can continue. now, as i said to him, so late and the so from a lot of the, those nights is the most dangerous time at the port. the customs officers don't take a break so socially of as you know, several suspicious ships arrives in our sector today. most likely you'll go to the last the, but we are expecting people to return to pick up drugs from the port i saw that social associate is this is when we are the 6 of our main system. we are talking about one of the larger container company history. it's a name, it is likely that they will try to lead the port to specific route, but i us good luck with all the overpower. so let's keep our eyes open and see if

we can spot. anyone. come with the camera surveillance as online, people are standing fine. basically, we're good to go. are there any questions over? is there any more info? now this has been a goal with who lives the 3 ships have a very high priority. we assign something, they are more often than mount. does that seem for we have to work with us all we have a list. yeah. let's go, let's go. every shipment that brings cocaine into the pool to track smugglers who come to pick up the goods. tens of thousands of euros, the said to be paid for such an operation. the customs office has tried to track them down day and tonight now we go to mazda flux, that's we're all big container ships and terminals are an important place for

inspections. will relieve the night shift about the 1st thing we do with patrol the relevant areas. we look to see if there are any irregularities in which people are there because of course, we're available for the control center and keep our eyes and ears open. today it's quiet. the customs officers use the time for an exercise that we're hosting an arrest. it's important to always be prepared to sit google ex $900.00 delta. wait, i thought i never wrote direction malik a router. stop saying to my locker room gave only 33 tracks straight ahead.

the customs officers get down to inspect the vehicle. you bring your drivers license, you can take it with you. of the best way to. good afternoon. stand here. what are you doing here this summer is working. working yeah, yeah, a lot of work. so your hands on, i see and feel your hands spread your arms. so you are under arrest. in accordance with narcotics and all turn around those on your knees. colleagues, risk for narcotics in your mouth. just arbitrarily been spread. most everything always goes this may say the customs officers sees the cane in the trunk

before posting it onto the also ortiz is kind of low in our laboratory. as a sample is tested to determine whether it really is cocaine. i'm not allowed to say how often this happens, but i can say that we've already sees 50000 t lows this year. but the, the, the search for drugs is like finding a needle in a haystack. in europe. knowledge is deep multiple, which is nearly impossible to find everything despite the most modern methods will always be a catch. and most game we find drugs and we take someone i took circulation by then other players finding new ways to smoking the drugs into the country again. and that's how it will always go on. and what is changing, nichols is

a spiral into violence or tracking day more and more narcotics. and this is also intensifying that resistance defined, getting more and more graceful as power along with billions of bureaus in profits are at stake. every year people are killed in the netherlands in summer 2021, a generalist became a victim of the drug, marcia. and it will come to susan. let us the slam. the one of the countries that's known journalist has gone down in broad daylight in amsterdam, the peter artist precinct fighting for his life to shield the 64 year old. was considered an adult or in the field and organized crime in the home of maint. visiting the at the moment, we know he's fighting for his light source. i nice crime reported to free styles on the side lines of on the trial against 1000000000 ad drug traffic, cuz he was a media or advisor to a key witness. the murder shows that the cartels in the netherlands will stop at

nothing. tobacco for supremacy on the contain market does not stop at the board as the drug will seems to have arrived in europe. hobbin huffman is a criminal. the just interest such as cocaine trafficking at maastricht university . he's shocked by the developments right on his doorstep. and there's things donita along isn't time and time is best. buy's goes to government to see it is what's going on shop. i think the netherlands is the best example of the moment where you see how the drug companies and escalating conflict a drug conflict can become unbelievably brutal location. do you see how such a conflict is carried out? is on the open, straight left glass. so here in the netherlands, yet you have about $20.00 to $30.00 ss a nationwide per year on the open street. this ties the stick with often with automatic weapons of, of nice guy. so, bystanders smith are also hit sometimes because of then you have to see in germany

too that there is the danger of a similar open conflict will arise at some point side of some of the conflict that has not yet taken place to see if something is such a personalization that the phone, but it cannot be real diagnosis that this will be the case sometimes if i get the gemini is also increasingly affected by a seemingly relentless desire for cocaine testing cop had gone to is the health policies folks passed into the green body in gemini, she sees the fight against cocaine imports. this having failed to one best use. of course we have a situation in which this huge flood of cocaine is no longer possible to control their check. the security authorities, the police, the traditional eerie, are always behind the curve to finish dog and of my hundreds we are to

fan organize. crime is extremely resourceful in finding new traffic in when do you do conflict controls and basically fail because you had to be and victorian and lets me, i'm and, and i think the development in recent years with the increasing numbers of cocaine conversations is very dangerous. i think the best example is another load as simple as we see what such an open conflict can look like. i'm in the area of drug related crimes. i see the one kind of has to be said this. that's all based on cocaine, there's a, there's a lot of talk about canada is coming up. but ultimately cocaine has led to this brutalization because the profits are correspondingly large. education course isn't critic say the state needs to track down honda that's commercial drug trafficking already carries the penalty of up to 15 years in prison. however, with profit margins of more than a 100 percent, clearly doesn't scare dealers like eunice unlocks it's been me,

it's because so if we're caught now we wouldn't say a word and would wait until our lawyer arrived. he would take care of everything, even if they can initiate any kind of proceedings. it rarely comes to a conviction that because it has been negotiated down to personal use, we have good lawyers. why should my life be worth less than some students? you know, just because he was encouraged in the past and brought up by his parents as well. so. yeah. ok. i don't, i didn't have that for me. there was no push to go to school. i don't know if there was an outside or in school problems which why should i earn less than society's most accomplished though? you know, so just a whole, it is precisely these high honors who need the drugs. we need some dirt which we need. they need something in the end, they come to people like me because of it just because they were born in a better part of society, social class. and because that's of why should i settle for less? because i didn't choose where i was born,

which was without the lower class. nothing works for the top or to we are the foundation is one of the cocaine is booming. business is booming simone. this high curtain is becoming the people's drug and it still has a good image. despise whole, the media reports about drug cartels unless you have on the addict. like the know what's in light. this is additional. so always comfortable to get down and waiting for you for the printer to come. this is may i ask who i'm getting off the drug? i think that's more than just the struggle that us and that's like a little more sharply because it's just everywhere. the files and that was so hard . i hope i never forget that so that it never happens to me again. no more procedures has been clean for a year now. she wants her story to serve as

a warning against the seduction of dangers of the drug, which seems to flood gemini as a more on check the racing catch up and taking the competition and meet the global front runner. it's a hot race and the economic transition to e mobility is in the lead. where did a pro from the slice, which vision has already become a reality made in the

west page. i mean, i know i might just do it and i'm hoping dw newport costs, thanks. trace amount, but there's no actually about move. joining us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that. and that's something right around the wells. and i need to talk to you about just to subscribe already. listen to podcasts, and we'll take you along to the right. one small steps for a robot back. you one giant leap for exploiting the ocean floor. cutting edge technology is i'm looking the potential of deep sea mining, but this time

a research team will study the possible risk site in order to minimize that we have an opportunity to to get it right before we can start. environmental activists. tops rules fail billions to be made out to the document. we deep the greed dots, december 7th on d. w. the . this is the w news, and these are our top stories. the israel's government has accepted a deal for the release of 50 hostages health by hama some because the strip, the prime minister's office has been fighting will be posed for 4 days. while the hostages are released. all 50 of the hostages are women and children. the deal may still face legal challenges before it can be fully realized. safe african
