of korean soldiers by kings on one on the side of russia, and letting me put his war against ukraine for nay tool that marks a significant escalation. germany called it an act of desperation and the u. k. calls it reckless and illegal. it's not the nice to lie to that. russia has turned to north korea and iran for weapons and russian weapons of build with chinese components. and beijing is provided diplomatic cover for rushes, war of aggression, the alliance of china, russia, iran, and north korea has been dumped the crates in the west. so is it in a lions of convenience or a full blown club of autocracies? i'm good. how that was in berlin, and this is the day i the that is my mind, but it's not clear evidence that people are being supplied to russia from north

korea. you all come across for choice, spanish gosh. and to the term news, you are increasing to north korea. that democratic people's republic of korea is all close. neighbor apartment is the recent news on ukraine, including people in the states understands the stakes here. mister president also on the day the brutal gang violence in the capital of haiti, puerto across united nations as phone to international security emission led by police from kenya or correspondent once along on a difficult patrol where the something hits the hatchet buffers, the smell of petrol and goes off, as you can see,

federal silver thing inside the time of the bill. you're welcome to the show, the secretary general of nato. my go to says the presence of north korean troops on the battlefield in ukraine wouldn't mind. okay. significant escalation of russia's invasion photo was responding to on verified warnings by south korea of troop movements by the north. it comes months of the most common tongue young, signed a military deal. on ex report slopes the credit and expanding alliances, sometimes referred to by the acronym cranks of the for 24 years. russian president vladimir putin steer clear of p on yet. but in june of this year, the stars aligned put in was back in north korea's capital city with leader kim

jong and in need of more fire power for russia's war against ukraine. then earlier this month came a meeting with your ron's new president. my sued, possessed in, put in cementing tires with the country. that's helped to push his full scale ukraine invasion since almost the beginning. and then there's his relationship with china. is she jane? pain, whose country has helped russia less directly by providing critical components for weaponry. and by not opposing putin on ukraine, all told together they've been recently dubbed the cranks see for china, then russia, iran and north korea. so how did the critics alliance has worked? well, north korea has gained a mutual defense packed with moscow. ideal that even south korea's defense ministry surmises has led to north korean troops being ready to fight in ukraine. to ride,

meanwhile, has provided drones by the thousands to russia, plus, now ballistic missiles, all to fuel moscow's war. and for iran sake, keep the west heavily occupied, powerful china sits in the middle of the cranks flouting the west with stronger ties to russia. maintaining its long held base of support for its autocratic neighbour of north korea. to run is also making an effort with the reclusive states leader, kim jong and as well as china, she didn't pay for vision, its links to the other cranks are helping to guide its increase the pressure on. so i want even it said with russian style dis, information tactics. and together, analysts say all 4 cranks are working to upset the global balance. and i know john, by the man credits with cleaning the time,

cream switch against pencil, china, russia, iran, and north korea. the speed of from craig, the founding president of the how this fax sense of national security for when he joins us now from washington dc. the welcome to dw news. how would you describe the cooperation between these 4 countries as it become a close alliance that deserves an acronym like tricks as well. it certainly deserves an acronym. um, so this started gerhart um, after rushes invasion of ukraine in 2022. when put to and found himself isolated and from from the allies and needed help from others beyond china that secured, that had guaranteed some support even prior to the invasion. and so he was looking for material support and got that from north korea and iran. and over the past 2 and a half years, indeed,

that cooperation has increased as you're seeing in the news this week last week. the north korean soldiers are now being friend in, in russia to go to the front in, in ukraine. so this is not in the alliance. the way that the nato alliance is. this is a partner partnership of cooperation. this is a group of 4 countries as use the cranks. it's very important to call them what they are, the cranks lump them together that are cooperating to over throw essentially what, what the western democracies have built up over the past 75 years. we've got to come to the common goal in a moment, but 1st is very just for a group who needs who most well, that's an interesting question. so at this juncture, china, of course, is the biggest, the most powerful of the countries. it's also, um, it's driving a lot of what's happening. the relationship now between china and russia is, is

a subservient relationship. but russia is far more desperate than mr. clinton is one to let on. they've lost a we don't know exactly how many russian soldiers have been killed, but uh well over a 100000 and something so say hundreds of thousands. and so the russians are very desperate at this juncture, as well as you're following closely in the middle east. despite pressure from, from the international community, israel continues it's battle against terrorism that is being sponsored by iran. and so iran is also in a desperate situation. so at this juncture, it's very important for your viewers to understand that with mister lansky is helping with israel steadfastness the critics are actually up against the wall. and it's going to be interesting to see china manages the next steps. that's very interesting. but we've touched up on this earlier, and what would you say is the ultimate goal of this alliance, or is it ultimate goals, different ultimate goals or?

yeah, so i know it's, it's a singular, it's each each has their own regional goal. of course, in east asia, in the middle east, and in central europe. but their goal fundamentally is the same, which is to bring down what has been an incredible period, a piece of prosperity since the end of the 2nd world war. a system that, that is built on democracy and good governance and the system that that relies on international institutions. now this is a system that was built by the allies after after the end of world war 2. and it's a system that the russia in china and all countries have been invited to join. but instead of of wanting to join, which would include what, joining fully which would include having democratic processes at home they, they prefer an authoritarian type of government and style where really is the sort of the, the, the, the strongest, survive. and so that's what,

that's what they're looking at and they're looking at destroying essentially the system, the international system of cooperation that has been built over the past 80 years . the rules based system. yes. do you see any other countries that could sooner relate to join that group and other other recruiting as well? there they are recruiting, and they are spending a lot of time in africa now they're spending a lot of time in the hemisphere. we're watching what's going on, and then as we're in that as well in venezuela, madura is then as well as is a place where russia is very active and iran are very active. and so, yes, they are looking to enlist folks and uh, throughout, throughout the world. now what's important for us to understand here in the united states and in germany and throughout, throughout the western world, the civilized world, which goes beyond anybody who loves peace democracy. a rule of law is that the critics can be defeated and they can be defeated very easily,

but it has to be done with solidarity. the united states is not going to do this alone. it's going to do this in partnership germany and the united states have to continue supporting ukraine and, and pushing russia back out of ukraine. the border is doing that really is the most important, the 1st and most important way to chip away at the cranks. once that happens in this order, i think that there can be more cohesive cooperation on issues related to iran and limit any ron's influence in the middle east. israel should not be doing this all by itself. iran poses a threat to peace and security in the middle east and beyond. and then after that, i think that you will actually have a china that will be more willing to play by international rules. if it sees that the, the allies are steadfast and can work together to take on russia in the wrong. and then i think actually we can start building a more constructive a relationship with china moving forward. but all of these things have to happen,

but we're not far. we're not far from doing it. what we need to to something now is essentially the will, the political will amongst our leaders. and i think that's very important. there's a number of elections that are going to happen, and it's very important to signal that the western democracy is, is vibrant and willing to fight for, for what it believes in. talking about the political will for looking at the elections coming up in 2 weeks in uh in the us. do you think there will be uh, the, the, the common goal of to be defeating the cranks a will be delta blow if trumpet wins next, the next section. well, for the 1st time since world war 2, there really is a very the visit of, uh, the choice for the american people on issues related to foreign policy. and so $11.00, a candidate for president has signaled that,

that he is not necessarily going to support efforts in ukraine to, to push russia out. and i think that that would be detrimental to international security . so i do think that a lot, a lot rides on what happens next, but the united states government is made up of more than just the presidency. and there are a lot of, of members of the united states congress from both parties, the republican and the democratic party, who are committed to ensuring that, that, uh, the resolve of the united states and of the democratic community that has been firm since 1945 continues despite his president of the united states, probably fam fee, halifax and national security for him. thank you very much for joining us today. here on the day. my pleasure. get her. thank you. us and hey, the criminal guys have a tech several neighborhoods in the capital photo problems over the weekends, driving people from the homes with gun 5 such scenes have become the norm that with

killings, kidnappings and sexual violence have increased since the president bush assassinated in 2021. last year the u. n. u n. mandated, an international security support. the mission led by the kennedy and police. 2500 police officers were expected, but only 400 canyons have arrived sofa. and the 1st 3 months they've made some gains, but the task is risky. of correspondence, navea and miller got exclusive access and went on patrol with a police impulse of pass. we're about to go on patrol with a kenyan police in for the prince web games control a large part of the city of opinions on here to support the haitian police and securing the city after crossing to buzzing street one of life. just beyond gigi, supreme court, everything changes before this,

please was not visible. no one could. of course we are. we are right now. we were entering a wasteland. this part of the city is deserted. the un says more than 700000 people have been displaced. they fled when the gang started spreading, tara burning down houses, killing indiscriminately raping women and girls. these barricades, the gangs erect to keep the police out of the territory. often they use shipping containers stolen from the food part of the canyons. job is to remove them by pushing them with the vehicle. so we are going to push them right now so that you can see what you're trying to do. a few meters before we reach the barricade. we see people running all sorts of videos that they started running, always because they knew i shoot out, maybe didn't any time something

hits the had to passes the smell of petrol and ghost. as you can see, federal silver thing inside the time of the year and so they can still fire it up. instead, the burning monitors just misses our company. they target the rest of the convoys shooting from abandoned buildings, the canyon forces and the 2nd vehicle fire. but meanwhile, the commander is getting information from his drone operator on the new by the very big oh yeah. yeah. he ones that preparing to throw more petrol on us. it was actually the started position. you them filled with bigger content as a non this one be going, that'd be fine,

but it doesn't above it. so that when you go just below the building, the for the foot on us and then the bottom visual, it's like a single by one in not long ago, smuggle was inside this vehicle when it was attacked and said to light the base gate and hummed every vote there, they might to button. i said i to know. so going there. it needs a little frightening as well. now we cannot go back there. on the other side of the barricades, we see people running like a gang members. we have to move quickly. and another not to settle warning left by the gangs. human skulls. this goes, i usually elected to i know that to me. did that like like sending a message hey, don't make an attempt of coming through the sit. yeah. yeah. but then you cannot be intimidated by such stuff. you have seen was being send those we arrive at the c port, it crucial lifeline for haiti, bringing goods medicine and food into the country. it was one of the 1st locations,

the canyon secured after their arrival. but when i went to film across the bay, it becomes clear, secured, but not fully safe across the bay is where we can control the territory and they sometimes it may just a few days ago, they shot at the worker here on the side. so it's still highly dangerous to be here, but what's the deal? but then you have to keep on pressing one. we're going to leave the done to going through data. but then the problem is the who sensitive they need need to handle from the international community. we need to, to, to have people supporting us. we need the equipment so that you can be able to push on and on. make sure that it definitely followed by the w, corresponded money, and the i'm from the pos i'm now joined by the general is with law and their uncle

. he's interested in chief of hades, investigative use of that able post, well come to a dw news now. how has the deployment of police forces from kenya effective security in haiti? i see you a few months ago when the 1st contingent of students, you were asking katie, we uh, the aisles. i mean, always you talk to people, the people who are expecting that they're being forced to be effective against the games, but most need or what do you reserve in these kind of a situation where, you know, after the games were stops, they were trying to understand how effective the sports would be, but order by swedes, the game constituents. and they are just, you know, 20 key roles and she is or whatever they split the spending their to resources. yeah. expend these the caesar vitamins meetings the ation isn't today.

what it means by the copies of but also a harder part of the country where you are in some parts, you did not have a lot of them before. now help us better understand that gang violence and hatred of you are describing all of a working together against the police of all the or that will with each other as well. the bus was actually sees the age of february and march the last. what do you call it, the diesel living? forget or which is a huge question. okay. uh, the main one. so we have a rating and for the rings, but also in also in packaging. so we have different entities you so much and you have different interests. um, putting those together,

get it together to files. they use the national police opinion course and you know, in the middle of the nation, more than 500000 people in this space by the 0 calling to name is brian don. houses, you know, and so in case of appointments but also outside of the time. now what does that mean now for the people who must manage the day to day lives under these circumstances as well, these ladies 0, extremely difficult. you know, the market's really not continuing to really means i know what it is, tom. see what these are the terrorist basically on the 6 robust presidencies. each problem you have, you know, the, the terminal and burn down houses and people have to be displaced in the trance. actually, where people try to find a show to why we also been flooded before

a policies. gainesville asked you to training space is trying to force people to base so they can have access to, to the emergency. and we to this, you awesome. i was serving cation of that. when you go see me, you hated today where the focus was supposed to leave. this mission was supposed to lead this transition. you have to remember a has to days to be shown by the full power and you're finding all the meetings, choose why the situation disagrees, the situation there already. so what do you think needs to be done to restore order and security and haiti will be arriving off the rest of the county. and for us, i mean 400 that 2000 more waited. will that make a difference or will the political situation need to change 1st as well?

the car is an easy taken care of the asian population that is offering whole months and months in the sum of those openings. in this case, the attorneys for the tennessee and the respectful museum. you mean like today? right. i think it's easy to how i mean some religion uh on this increments, each price that we spoke. so, you know, the reason i don't know is in person there to be effectively fight back against the meetings we also serve. and then for the, for that we have tensions between the 80 nation police officers and also the seniors. this is also, you know, complicating any options on the grounds. we know that the i, the, you're conducting some research and some of these originally i started to use some

results for as is the role of teams getting ready to go to in the capital. but it's not enough, you know, because the how to get to show a big victories is the games and it is. but there can you hear that? you know, the minute somebody needs to address more personal note with a patient policies and you know, the keys in the midst of all forces such as little under the co, the reporting from the haitian capital. the good luck to you and thank you. so thank you. the, the 1st picture is taken by the euclid space telescope, have been released to the public. its mission is to create a 3 d map of the skies by collecting some of the most detailed and extensive images
