and the law enforcement. i just checked for the paper. they suspected that they were forged. louise poli protects it borders. it's relatively easy for criminals to target children in countries like the democratic republic of congo, moving them to some via and then beyond. but child trafficking has been a major problem in africa for decades. so via itself serves as a regional hub with nearly $400000.00 children traffic through africa every year. now west, the citizens, some of whom have been entangled in scandals involving child smuggling. just last year for example, to american foster parents were detained in uganda for child trafficking and now facing the death penalty. the same couple have also been accused of the torture of a 10 year old boy in the local arts of history. so to earlier out of the child, trafficking has been a long standing issue for the african confidence. now what you need to understand that you've had this has been ongoing for

because the even government will initial as the sentence amendment government was never in willing to so in assist us to, to, to, to pipe in the month from the gym government operations. in other news, the f. b, i's opened an investigation into 2 inmate deaths in the texas jail. that comes amid allegations from a former staff member who said that those in custody were mistreated. i've literally witness correctional staff. miss st. detain is because they were in need of insulin for diabetes or other medical issues. there been for prisoner death since the start of the year in harris county jail alone. while over in the states of arkansas, the family of immensely ill inmates who starved to death while in custody,
10:10 am
have filed a lawsuit against the county. arthur correspondence, kennimore pin has more the details of the law suit or not for the squeamish. we have a mentally ill disabled homeless man who is arrested for pointing his fingers at police officers. he can't afford to pay $100.00 to get out of jail. so he's held awaiting trial during that time and he's put in solitary confinement and he eventually dies from malnutrition. as larry eugene price was dying, and even after he was dead, reports filed by prison. authorities said he was fine office, his doc amounted to 1000 off such tracks and moms. weak stays and hours leading up to the mr. price stuff using the same boiler played phrase each time a made him sell. okay. they use this phrase when the obviously mal nourished, mister pride's lay dying in the pool of contaminated stands in water. they consented to his destroys,
10:11 am
even after he was discovered unresponsive while he was being transported to the hospital. and during his time in the emergency room shall can lead they made at least 10 additional entries in may 10 cello k. after mister price is pronounced that while this is evidence of their deliberate indifference, it is also a tell tale sign of glaring his stomach deficiencies. it appears that what happened is they just threw him into a cell all by himself and ignored him. they did not bother to check and see whether he was eating or drinking. as a result, the disabled man rotted away. the lawsuit alleges criminal neglect price, his medications had been cut off, making his mental illness much worse. it appears pretty clearly that the staff were not checking in on him or else falsifying their reports and saying everything was fine as he was wasting away. when larry price was 1st locked up, his weight was about a $185.00 pounds. at the time that he died,
10:12 am
he weighed only 90 pounds. he'd lost roughly half of his body mass. no one was fired or even disciplined after the death of larry eugene price. his gruesome dad was. busy considered to be just another day at the sebastian county criminal detention center in arkansas, the family is now suing for what they say is a pretty obvious case of wrongful death and criminal neglect. now what started all of this anyway? larry price was a disabled homeless man who suffered from hallucinations. he walked by this police station pretty frequently, often speaking incoherently. on one particular day seemed rather fired up and angry . and he pointed his fingers like a gun. the police arrested him charging him with making a terrorist threat. now this is a crime. the mental health experts say this highly disabled man was not even capable of committing us media is. busy filled with unverified allegations about violations of human rights and the mistreatment of prisoners and other countries.
10:13 am
but the details that have emerged about the heretic gruesome way that larry eugene price died. forces us to ask whether us media and us officials are really being genuine and their concerns about other countries when this kind of thing is happening right here in the united states, ala, often our t new york. clearly we spoke to paul rides, who's the founder of the prison, legal news projects, and he says that the months symptoms were obvious, but negligence is very common in american jails. he was seriously mentally ill. he suffered from elusive nations, he suffer from outbursts, and these are things that the, these are symptoms of such serious mental illness. that one does not have a psychiatrist or a medical doctor to know that the symptoms are so serious that the person requires immediate, serious, and immediate medical, psychiatric intervention. and unfortunately, this is very common. there's, as
10:14 am
a journalist for prison legal on is we report many cases every year. we're prisoners, the united states, they are start to doubt the dipole thermal. they dive heat exposure in the very basic causes of death that are, you know, easily alleviated and should not even be occurring at all. and if you plead and total failure by the prisons and jails that hold people, and mister price is casey, starved to death over a more than one year period. and it's critical to note that even as he starved to death, even as he wasted away before the eyes of his captors, they were checking on him every day and claiming and filling out reports, saying that he was fine even as he died in front of them. and now it's the latest from the war in ukraine, where officials in crimea say that's local defense systems have shut down, su, ukrainian drones of the sea as close to the port city of service, stop all,
10:15 am
there's been no information yet. and any damage or casualties. now this comes as local ukrainian authorities have confirm multiple russian strikes in several regions. at least one strike on energy infrastructure was reported in the city of evolve, while the videos paid online, allegedly showing schools of dead ukrainian soldiers being prepared to be sent back to ukraine. quick warning, the foreign images are disturbing. when you can see here, the soldiers lie in wooden coffins filling the building. there's no information on where or when this video is recorded. but it comes as a situation for the credit. army continues to deteriorate. that is that your back move. multiple reports suggest that you can you forces are preparing to leave the region as fighters from russia's wagner group advanced the head of wagner getting pretty gordon if you could be surrounded in the coming months. 0. my see business loving up there about 90 battalions inside or around by merchant. that's about all these new $40.50 people. the enemy draws other new reserves every day. we're going
10:16 am
to circle back move in march or april. but let's not get ahead of ourselves. they are getting you weapons. now you can be 100 percent. sure, we will destroy these leopards. our correspondence egotist on of spoke to the wagner chief in person, and he gave his take on the situation on the front and he described how his fight says i have been leading the way in combat. now wanting to view this report also contains some distressing images. the few years ago this group was more mythical than real. now we stand in a large warehouse greeted by the head of the wagner's company himself. the occasion is solemn, commemorating the self sacrifice of 2 hero pilots. the no man left behind principle in case of the wagner group had applied not just to personnel, but to symbolic relics of war like the remains of this russian bama jet. it was shut down by the ukrainian forces during the fighting for the city of buck. mood,
10:17 am
one. the pilots realised that while they were doomed, they directed the burning machine towards the enemy, towards their military column dying heroically themselves and well taking a bunch of foes with them. ukraine had already returned with honors the bodies of the pilots. the jets debris though, could only be retrieved now, as the wagner group is closing in on our chops. we're not going for a commercial one. heard this is flight 48. the guys have her worldly, fulfilled their desk, that having cries to blame the enemy territory running their military convoy. it's now time to commemorate what they have done, and i was at it in a charm of school. by mote it's wagner, verses the entirety of ukraine's military might no man noise the situation on the ground better than the groups chieftain preggers. look our friends of buffalo them astro, bahamas. you want? why is it and bought muffin?

10:20 am
bus are to the moving on now, spain, which is one of the top 3 carriers of ukrainian grained by the black sea corridor, has been using the bites of weeds feed pigs in order to export more port as rather than helping the poorest nations as was initially agreed, archie contributed rachel marston has more. remember all the talk about how critical it was to get ukrainian grain shipped out of ukraine to feed the hungry in africa asia. well, according to the latest real time data published by the united nations black sea green initiative, joint coordination center, the top 3 destinations for ukrainian grain are china, spain, and turkey. and those 3 countries alone represent 46 percent of all exports. so we're talking, all exports being roughly $700.00 plus shipments of grain. china acts as the gateway to asia and turkey acts as the gateway to africa. but what's the deal with
10:21 am
spain? spain domestically produces more than enough of the grain that it needs to feed its own people with grain for people accounting for just about a quarter of all the countries domestic consumption, the rest of the grade that the country produces goes to feed its livestock. and notably, pigs, spain is routinely ranked as one of the top, if not the top port producing country in the entire world. which means that with all this grain being imported into spain, from ukraine, now it's hard to escape the conclusion that the countries literally picking out on ukrainian grain. and it's not like this is about making sure that cute little pigs roaming freely around the spanish countryside. don't go hungry, it's not about taking the food out of their mouths. more grain just basically means that more pigs can be churned out for port to the economic benefit of madrid and
10:22 am
ultimately to the european economy. which of course is great for europe. but what exactly was growing spain's pork industry used as a reason to unblocked ukrainian grain? last month, spain was able to increase its meat exports by 79 percent overall. and that's in part due to its ability to meet china's demands, to sell a 124 per cent, more spanish port to beijing compared to the same period last year. again. wonderful for the spanish economy, but not exactly following the spirit or the letter of the deal to unblock ukrainian grain to feed. the poor. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly raised the issue of food from ukraine being misdirected. what a kitchen, if you're hearing over wise, you may have crenan, the almost sole grain exploded from ukraine is south north of the developing and
10:23 am
poorest countries. but to the european union states on the 2 ships out of $87.00 below that. as paul told you out of the world food program, i'd like to say that just like many european countries from a previous decade and centuries hacked at us colonizers, so they continue to do today journal. so just how much ukrainian grain is getting to the countries that need it most. well collectively they're getting about 15 percent of the total export volume, which work so to roughly one percent each. but guess he's proud of those efforts, spain. here's the status we're minister patting himself and ukrainian authorities on the back last fall for their humanitarian initiative. green from ukraine. spain joins ukraine and the rest of its allies in this program, which is an honor and immortal testament to ukraine's commitment against hunger in the world. even as it fights against russia's aggression and its indiscriminate shelling of export logistics infrastructure, which endangers millions of people who depend on ukrainian products. but hey,
10:24 am
if hungry nations are getting a short changed on the grain, maybe they're at least getting some of the pork from spain after the pigs are done . stuffing their faces with it. currently not. china is the top importer of for followed by japan and then european countries like italy, germany and poland. so if the intent is truly to feed the hungry rather than just benefit europe's economy, the current ukrainian grain scheme is really missing the mark. now this old combs several african countries face food insecurity. somalia, which was recently hits by consecutive droughts, is now approaching what are some describes as one of its worst humanitarian crises in recent history, with over 700000, already facing food shortages and several 1000000 in need of humanitarian assistance. meanwhile, bodies including the international rescue committee and action against hunger, but they warned its almost 1000000 more on near the brink from him as well. we
10:25 am
discussed the revelation of spain's policy with some people in africa who expressed indignation for being forgotten with preference given to livestock on commercial interest. asking us disgusting, you know, thought for human beings to be starving and for the, for the president. although the priority to be pigs, i think that is completely unacceptable with it's rather disturbing because you know, as africans we're definitely needs more than what's currently available to us to consume by then if you really think about it, if that food is really going to pigs it's almost like putting, you know, the value of human beings to that of like animal is the fee or out of the think big things more important than done us human being for us. he africans, with a controversy comes amid strengthening relations between russian africa,
10:26 am
which are only limited to grain. it's also include a number of fields with bright development prospects in the future. well, that's the least is the view of the director of the institute for african studies of the russian academy of sciences in her recent exclusive interview to archie, of course, is always you can watch the full version throughout the day here on the channel, which is a quick preview. interestingly, in terms of technology, russia is particularly competent in areas that africa needs most energy, water, purification, agriculture, and medicine space technology. i t smart cities. course, these are all a priority areas for africa. seward, them, russia can offer africa, los you, valuable engineering solutions to give you one example. we've created a certain type of fertilizer that when placed in the soil, stores moisture for up to 3 months seen. you can you imagine how vital this is for african countries? most of which are located in the arid zone,
10:27 am
which if you put the fertilizer in the soil, and you don't need to irrigate for 3 months. so when it comes to energy and food security to developmental issues or the processing of mineral resources, that's something that africa has huge reserves of our geologists, our mining companies, our quit meant by all that could really help them out that so on the one hand, this opens up prospects for russia not for our own development international. and on the other hand, by capitalizing on our technology, africa would be able to move to a new level of development instead of remaining a resource quality within the wider western system down us. but that was the main stories this our do head over to all websites, all t dot com, all social media pages for more on pizza scott's on the back again at the top of the alex, it's been great. have you it was. thank you i
