the, the cause of the news live from the land. fresh hope for getting food and medicine into guys are the 1st ship carrying humanitarian supplies from cyprus, could leave as any, as this weekend. and i jerry ascends in the army to search for hundreds of children kidnapped from a school. of course, one that has the details of the biggest mass, abduction in years. plus a us court finds the former president of hon. you're us guilty of drug trafficking . now on orlando hernandez is facing 40 years in prison, the

i'm totally illogical. welcome to the program and international operation to bring desperately need an aide into guys by sea is gathering momentum, a ship carrying humanitarian assistance from the us charities. preparing to leave monica in cyprus, america is planning to build a temporary p, a off the coast with this could take as long as 2 months of the us ad. european union will work with the united arab emirates and other countries to ship food mets in an emergency shelters. the united nations has one that does that is on the brink of funding mike mazda and joins me from kings college london. welcome to the program like now the aid agencies

behind this shipment in cyprus say, can leave today and being guys out within hours, could you sum up what kind of logistical sequence of events would make it possible for the aid to get into the hands of the people who would need it so the, the 1st thing i need switching out is the permissions and paperwork and still not being completed in cyprus. i'm part of that is the, is writing signing off the shipment. um, the actual journey from cypress to dallas is about 200, no, 2 miles. so a ship of that type could do that in a day or less if it wanted to. and this is where it then starts to get very difficult. and according to the charities involved, they are planning on building or indeed already building a pair out to receive the supplies for the ship is very shallow. water is a beach, so you can't just drive the ship up to the coast. and assuming that able to do that,

not to not disclose location to security reasons, then that's the biggest problem level, which is distribution online. how do you make sure that the aid is not more than stolen? you know, millions of thousands of desperate people. how do they distribute it in a 5 way and whose responsibility is, is that it's so you basically got 2 options at the points at which the supplies hit the show. then the, the general idea would be the one of these items, things would control, you know, the warehouse and control the central stuck edge of those supplies. but then to get them out to distribution centers located around the goal is a strip that's a big problem because at the start of the conflicts, palestinian police was still on duty,

but they would carry weapons. and so they were targeted by these ladies because they would carry, you know, they were young men carrying weapons. and so they effectively gone home. and that's one of the reasons why we've had the breakdown of law and order. so some sort of deal to naples. nice place to go back to what perhaps on, on this side of it, they can ensure that those supplies are able to get out is probably needed in order to get it to the 102030 distribution points in different neighborhoods. around a garza, you mentioned the peer that's going to serve temporarily, but the us is also building its own dock and it could take up to 2 months to build what form is that likely to take and, and what difference would that one make? so the u. s, ministry has got a ready made equipment. it's effectively a floating pontoon that that gets on could to the sea bed. and then you build the floating causeway linking up that,

that pontoon to the see show. and that equipment is, is, is in storage and ready to go, which is why i'm quite surprised that this thing is going to take 60 days to get to that the unit of the us minute tree that is responsible for using that equipment has been tossed already is guessing ready to go. i would think that the us is able to do it much quicker than that. i wonder whether actually they are on the promising say that they can only deliver i, i think they would be able to get it done much quicker than not because as i say, the equipment will be in storage and ready to go. okay, we'll leave it that for now. mike bothering from king's college london. thank you for your analysis. thank you very much. security forces and nigeria, searching woodland for nearly 300 children, abducted from a school by government. can nothings have become a lucrative business for armed gangs? parents are losing face and deal for these to prevent the abductions or even find

you know, but i was able to get away from him. i looked around for a way to escape, and i was able to make it across the road and into the bushes that i came home from their kid. nothing's for rent. some are a major problem, major area. it's estimated the 1500 students had been taken by gangs and holidays over the past decade. those do subtraction was the largest and recent to use relatives of the children of leading to those sorts has to help. but some of meat they have little faith in the government to the guidelines, but it's time to some of the stories making headlines around the world. several 1000 people have joined to march in london, demanding and immediate sci fi in gaza. the 5th major pro palestinian riley in the british capital this year. israel says its forces as killed dozens of how much

fights as in gaza. this weekend focused on has a new president. i states, i leads our diaries, a business mind, and a politician and the widow of pakistan's, 1st female prime minister, had been a 0, brutal who was assassinated in 2007 is the 2nd time our diary has served as president, a caribbean nations have called an emergency meeting, as they seek an end to spirally and gang violence and hatred. the us, canada, and friends will also join the talks in jamaica. gunfire has rocked the haitian capital pulse of funds following mass jail breaks organized by criminal games. a jury in new york has found form a 100 and president, one orlando hernandez, guilty of trafficking, hundreds of tons of cocaine into the united states. prosecutors say he ran hunter

as like a naco state. he was long considered a top us ally in central america. now he faces a life in prison, one orlando, hernandez has been found guilty of 3 counts of drop trafficking, and weapons conspiracy. i see that his lawyer says they will appeal the decision of you there in montana because he says he is innocent. and he says he still has the strength to keep fighting. hernandez was president of whom do arise for 2 consecutive terms between 20142022. during his leadership, the country received more than $50000000.00 in anti narcotics assistance from the us, as well as additional millions of dollars in security and military 8, prosecutors later on cover that she was linked with drop traffic cars,

including former mexican dropped lord fucking guzman, known as l chapo, he was accused of helping small the around $500.00 tons of cocaine to the us. around this was arrested just weeks after completing his 2nd time as president. and he was extradited to the united states, 2 months later, in april 2022. so after a 2 week trial drawers in manhattan and reach the verdict, celebrated by her door and citizens gathered outside the court house. locust, almost a key to those of us who are here who have emigrated to know that we are the consequence of a failed state. that has been controlled and managed by people who have used their country and its institutions for drug trafficking. the, i hope that the verdict and his arrest serves as

a precedent so that authorities can no longer harm our country. guessing game that they devote themselves to serving our people. not destroying our people to help wherever it's the 1st time in more than 3 decades. that a form, a foreign leader, has been convicted of drug trafficking in the us now joined by son history. he's a fellow as the internet at the institute for policy studies and director of its drug policy project in washington dc. welcome to dw news. now, would you agree that this conviction is a victory for the us drug enforcement agency as well? victory is a, it's not so much as victory is, is the ongoing process of shoveling water basically that it really doesn't produce many substance substantial long term changes. because we have this long, long pattern in latin america of presidents attorneys, general drugs,

ours military officers being consistent in the drug economy. there's an old saying in this field and i've been working in drug policy for 25 years. that drug prohibition is an equal opportunity corrupt or it's just that some people are in a vastly superior position to, to profit from that corruption. and that of course are the senior officials because they have access not only to the police inside of it, but they can also tax and, and be full which games get this model and, and, and, and what types of drugs and, and turbines and that sort of thing, so it's a fantastic be lucrative space. right. and what at the us support the former president hernandez a, you know, millions of dollars in the 1st place when there was controversy around him. yeah. they, he's been a strategic ally for quite a while now. part of it was at the us at other concerns. trafficking was, was one of them, but also the migrant prices, which was beginning to really

a blossom under under his, his presidency. and so many you were prepared to look the other way. it seems in furtherance of these other objective is cracking down on crime, other types of problem rather, and hand, and that sort of thing. a bite of your project is focusing on ending the damage caused by the drug was what needs to be done. now? it's important to remember this is almost the same kind of scenario we got caught up and over and. ready over and over again a century ago during alcohol prohibition. because what we're talking about today with these drugs, whether it's cocaine, heroin instead of beans or. ready any other type of drugs we're talking essentially about minimally process agricultural and chemical commodities that costs the pennies per dose, the manufacturer. the reason they're so incredibly profitable and expensive today is because the drug prohibition. and so the last people who want the drug war to

end are drug traffickers and drug. ready of yours because neither side to make a reasonable living without the other it's it's, it's prohibition that acts as an indirect or unintentional price supports if you will, for drug traffickers that makes the substances price list when they are cost pennies for those. and that's something interesting. 20 seconds. what has the us one drug failed? yes, it's failing every day. but spelling, even worse, we could. because now we could replace the traditional plant, the right drugs with synthetic drugs like sentinel and methamphetamines, which are far more problematic, easier to smuggle, easier to be dose, a produce and, and, and cheaper than 4. right? okay, sound history fellow at dance and the institute for policy studies. thank you very much for speaking to us. you as well, that's all for now. coming up next is getting some jobs while creating new ones. so
