the, the, the police say they have uncover them must have ukrainian leg criminal network. they took advantage of a lack of oversight of refugees to conduct the legal activities, the local spleen for safety as middleton stakeholder. and they just sent to you in the democratic republic of congo, a nation registered resources for the end up in global, and particularly european supply chain funding brought it up because national companies want to see, to, to have access to resources. this is the easiest way, this is the cheapest way in, they'll put it on your home. industrial living in now is about putting a face on the surface of the arab league,

says shawn's proposal to evict palistine in some guys that you scrolled ethnic cleansing are t speaks to displace civilians returning to their homes. i've met the cx 5 between these world and how much we are ready to sit on top of the rumble, but we want to be in our home. we will remain steadfast for a 1000 years despite netanyahu. despite trump today, i am very happy, very, very happy. my joy today has made me forget the fatigue of one year and 5 months. moving forward by coming closer together, top diplomats from india and china meeting the team to revive by law to our relations restarting direct uh services for the 1st time in 5 years. the that we're continuing our coverage of the latest trends shaping the world right now

. this is our international, i have my club portion. but now the use international police force as it has uncovered the massive ukrainian lead crime ring. the group allegedly took advantage of a lack of oversight to refugees from the caustic, in order to commit money laundering and avo schemes amounting to tens of millions of heroes. in total, the operation which took place over several months led to the arrest of $23.00 suspects. the seizure of 35700000 euros in cash bank accounts in crypto currencies, as well as 36 vehicles, real estate watches in jewelry, the organized criminal network composed of mostly ukrainian, but also armenian, as or by johnny or cause ok, nationals has been providing cash, courier, and underground banking services to other criminal networks. europe whole is very blatantly putting this so that they believe that this the members of this crime gang that they have been abusing and exploit some very temporary protective spaces

in the you given that either has been predominantly made up of ukrainian nationals . and given that the humanitarian will impact of this war has being felt in ukraine, many millions of flood the country fling, not just the fighting, given how fee is every pretty much every battle for every town as being and given how much we have documented ukrainians using civilian infrastructure for a we're planning out the defense is capitalizing on study concrete building, civilian apartment block buildings, but also arguably, maybe even more ukrainians flood force mobilization of zalinski and the is increment. some use legal methods fleeing while they can many tried to just, you know, smuggling themselves across the board or risking their lives and some have even been killed. they've been dead. they found themselves dead, many drowned trying to fleece to the e. u. and given, given this nature,

given that uh, what was basically the regulations that are normally in place, for instance, as to how much money and valuables you can will move across the border. those regulations have the last 4 ukrainians. this is something that this crime syndicate has exploded to move massive amounts of cash, the within the you across the borders and basically to just operates when some of them use were uncovered. well. 5 they have moved from the physicals vs to the online world to crypto currencies, but that didn't help them either. the suspects are believed to have abuse the temporary protection status granted to ukrainian refugees by the uses 2022, as well as other citizens affected by the russian war of aggression against ukraine . many of the millions of refugees from ukraine took their savings with them to europe in cash, to safe guard it from the consequences of the war. taking advantage of the

exceptions, put in place to facilitate the transfer of money between jurisdictions. the criminal network moved huge amounts of cash without being questioned in detail, or scrutinized during customs checks. and a new influx of refugees is exactly something that the, these crime rings and crime syndicates could needs to exploits to attract more people within the rank speech route. because well, basically who will find themselves well, most likely to find themselves crossing and fleeing to be you. now again, these are those who have just graduated high school and it means they simply don't have any professions that they have. most of it could put them on a hunk list of big european corporations for a who can offer higher paying jobs. all they can expect to be hired for is to do menial labor. and that's a low paying. that's really a low paying job. and so this is something that these crime brings, could exploit, to entice them to move them into the web of crime,

to with promises of quick and easy money of statues and so on and heading to offer canal what many tons of groups claims to have taken over a, me just sits the, the democratic republic of the congo. the other one didn't border. now i meant the chaos reports are coming in, that prisoners have managed to escaped from the local jail. now this video emerged on social media or facilities, but need to have held about 3000 the inmates. report say that there was some fatalities during the jail break, or the exact number is on clear as that. now the images have shown people fleeing from the guns. fire reports say that soldiers of the communities all be with forced to hand over their weapons to un peacekeepers. many times from the m 23 group of told local residents to remain calm. but just

days ago, the provinces governor was killed in an assault by the group. local residents say that they are living in fear. we are in a terrible state of fear because the explosions are becoming more and more frequent . before we were just walking down the street, unaware of the threat, here's a bullet. i'm not a soldier, but i know how to recognize it. i picked it up well, quickly closing the door. a bomb fell just a few steps from our street. i went outside and that's when with a terrifying crash, the gunfire erupted. a resolution will come if the authorities finally accept dialogue that would allow us to avoid this desperate fleet to safety. right now, none of us can go a moment without fearing that we may have to rush into yet another evacuation. that the d r. c. army has condemned to the m 23 group saying that he has committed war crimes. and it goes to the, it was a new sco helicopter that was shot down in north kibo near chon su, with

a peacekeepers dying. as a result, there are s a d c soldiers who also died. we must wake up and stop ignoring reality at the level of the international community, and especially at the level of the african union. it is not only a war crime, it is also a crime against humanity. so these are unprecedented crimes, and the international community must wake up since it is not just those who died there. and now the m 23 minutes and group has been active in the east on d r c for several decades now. it grew out of the tensions of the rwandan genocide in 19 ninety's. ibm $23.00 is believed to have or originally embarrassed as a group of ethnic towards the rebels. on march the 23rd, 2009, the reached a peace agreement with kinshasa and assume the name m 23 in honor of that date. well, how about the agreement did not last long. that's fighting erupted again. the fall ins escalated extremely for the $21.00. and that came,

i made this your rating relations between for wanda and the d. r. c, which lead me to the for the conflict by just this past weekend on voice in the un trait at bobs about the dispute to unfortunately would agree that the dimension of community chose to condemn the empty city for extending your state authority is without condemning fire this i made a tiny collision for violating this is fire after the postponement of the 15th of december to enter into 41, the assignment ministration aggravated under ground. due to the dentist is obsession with a mentor solution to this conflict. expect on those, they exploit our resources and impose their control on the local population with impunity. these actions must be punished. this illegal exploitation is only one aspect of the aggression carried out by rwanda space. now the r c is rich in mino

resources, and it is the world's largest producer of cobalt. now the, the r c is also the well, the largest reduce of coal time they keep mineral for making batteries for mobile phones and even electric vehicles. that it was only a year ago that the easiest find. the memorandum with the rolanda for all material supply chains, and that's despite reports, claiming that much of what is considered for one does mineral production is actually smuggled into the country from the d r c. now the, the r c president oppose the agreement saying that wanda was newton come with these mean there are resources. now, a former diploma to electra at the cooperative university in the democratic republic of congo, says that multi national corporations are targeting the country as resources. i don't see what it is um is for the x or the in their minds themselves, we're renting and it's funding, growing up because of our conditional company is wants to act suit to, to have access to just such as,

obviously the easiest way. this is the cheapest way to middle, put it on your home, and that's true. i live in, you know, it's all tempting. i'll click on this. one says i'm, you know, most of the, it says i am cool. um, so um, because conway is kind of just getting better so it seems like that this has a use, anybody can see that some of them and this is an issue over my commissioners. this is rather for them easy because when we go for this quote on the, on the middle court, i mean, i seem to send you, i guess it waste the scene you i guess from so we'll jump in. we'll use or you can buy the tool because the position and distance is the benefits for me. this is the initial month national companies and that's the problem lies. is illegal c o 4 of calling me on is the continuation of this for many months. i see on each side and that's many concepts i think honestly does. i think i'm this is i use those tools

to between these photos, the station, if you look at how run the cool way during the data. us cool was funding monitoring reserve meant jim to meet on every, on the vision community on a patient or who i agree expenses, then you see if there was peace in court, will run the benefits much more than what they are benefiting now on the i having black on back on. so we we see he's putting amenities on our prize. i have to keep permanent. you've got the wrong hospices on wednesdays on latest. no, she informal stories on this is what uh, is. uh for. uh, uh, a sticker mouse. it's not about any and i don't see any reasons why you're on the phone with the designers not to, except that i sort of the stuff it really means giving me understand or me 11000000

people. now let's discuss best with scholastic and parliament member called near house, who is on the defense and military veteran committee call. i'm happy to have you join me now. so m 23 minutes and have continued their assault on the d. r. c. taking one of the settlements after another while international forces including from south africa, trying to stop them. what is your assessment of the current state of this conflict? can you share any insights about the situation? good evening and thank you for having me. well, it is indeed a dire situation. information is coming in and trickles. it is difficult to always understand what is the truth and what is happening. but the overall impression that one is left with is that the m trying to think group has been at the bottom thing in the eastern side of the congo. and

specifically on the main capital of the problems that coma and full. so in a city colt, saki, and that is the way this whole ethic and national defense force is participating in the work of this on ethnic and development corporation. and also in terms of the youth in peacekeeping mission, our concern as all applicants is that our is a in data groups are not well equipped. unfortunately, south africa has very strict. and then we just financial controls on our defends forces budget. we've gone through a no standard t program and as a consequence, we are not well equipped to deal with this situation as a member of parliament for the economic freedom fighters together. what is also the

president and commander in chief of the konami $3.00 to $5.00 says way of long the south african president sort or on the. busy was the commanding chief of this on ethic to national defense force. that's our troops, indeed, very vulnerable and find themselves in what i would call it killing for you. in fact, we have to believe that it was necessary to install the troops on the same day if in order to protect and give them safety. because they cannot be given that protection and safety with the lack of equipment. and the lack of today that they come into the house. so this use the dire situation and it's under those circumstances that on the 23rd of january, 9 members of the is a indeed dived in some of the exchanges with him. 23

group specifically in stocking. and it is a sad situation to receive video footage of that particular conflict with the soul just for the s a n d h. had to acknowledge that today i run out towards munificence. now you can imagine what the situation is when you have face, as sophisticated, well trained girl that are using malta and also using produce in order to target to use. and you find that you do not have the results is in order to be able to defend yourself and also to carry out your operations. so it is a sad situation and why is that? i as a member of parliament and member of the economic freedom fighters believe our president settled on both side and also our minister of defense and billing 3 bank friends.

miss n g mail. jacob must take the ultimate responsibility full because they have allowed these as a and gave them to be saying that without the necessary equipment, without the necessary coverage. and now even in the last couple of days, we were faced with a situation that didn't you say, and it doesn't have the ability, what these phone calls complaints, in order to be able to send further ammunition and resources to our troops. and they did need to get a commercial cargo company to fly to that area. but unfortunately, because they kept pulling, you know, at the capital, had been over on by the, in between 23 group. and the airport has now been closed and a space is closed. okay. thats particularly deliberate documentation and provisions

have to turn back to solve that take. oh i call um, thank you for helping us elaborate and understand what the situation that not a representative from the d r c. the united nations has said that the conflict is especially about control over natural resources. what are your thoughts in that regard? i absolutely agree with that, and i've asked many questions in our national assembly about the way that we can indeed call this particular mission of the s a n d f. and also a saturday, a peacekeeping mission. you have preferred in your introduction to the name of minerals that are being mind in the d r c. i'm specifically in that region. the eastern pulse of 50 are see those minerals a higher the value of the race and for the united states, for of america,

for the production of computers and full smartphones. why? and sadly, the local population, the people who work in those mines belonging to big multinational companies are treated upholding. they don't need any significant salaries. they were terrible hours without any protection innovating dangerous mining conditions. so this is a battle for bidding this case, but his office and it is said that our south african national defense falls through young people who still has a lives handled themselves. now it finds that many of them of sacrificing their lives, not for what i would call a peace mission. but for the sake of business, for the sake of mining, for the sake of big multinational companies. all right, not just a year ago, the use side,

the memorandum with rwanda for raw material supply chain yet reports indicates that much of a one does mineral production, is actually smallwood from the d. r. c. the president has condemned this agreement, claiming that one dice looting congo these resources. what do you like about? well, i cannot pronounce on those kinds of interactions between 2 conflicts. what i can say is that it is critically important that they must be a process of bringing peace and they is the nairobi piece project, which is part of the african union and in which the president, oh, and go to the plays as same for what role i hope that everyone with a true around us with a, it's a democratic, a property called the condo, that all these governments will take the people of these areas

and concern them about them 1st and try to bring peace. we are faced with this situation in many countries on ethic code where there's to pay exploitation of the natural, a bundled in a minute. all result is in those countries. and sadly, it is always the people that are thinking people who are coming sick, who are being exploited. ringback and if we want peace in this area, we need to move away from this process. we may never owners office and money counts more than human beings if we can do that. and therefore, i also has to make a call on the p and union on all the companies that are located in the european union. and also in the united states to put the human beings, the population was suffering so terribly because of the situation 1st. but rather

than the super profits that they make out of the mining all the 3 minerals and the lack of funding and the lack of salaries that they allow to go to the people of the d. c. d r c is one of the wealthiest country in the world and get the people in the d r. c. us stop putting cannot be, we must break this horrible vicious cycle completely spots on that. now the russian ambassador to the u. n. a says that the conflict in the d r c is the legacy of the regions colonial past. how do you react to that? absolutely. we still see colonialism and all kinds of new variations of new colonialism. in the d, r. c and many other parts of africa. and that is that relationship,

as i said, but has to be broke because, but we are dealing with here's a situation where that role models overcome things such as the d. c. is extracted from that country without any beneficiary action, and without any benefit to the people of that country. and what we see is that they are was being conducted in order to get access to those areas where these very important to me as minimal outcome. so is that a total mentor on goals that are being sold? and unfortunately then the people of africa are being played off against each other for the sake of gaining access to those minerals. and as a consequence,

you see that the people suffer such unity and patrick assess it. that's the great and laudable pool of the african union that the guns must be signed and is constantly undermined by big capital would require for these was to take place for a quiet for the african people to be divided because divide is suitable for their profits. and this is exactly what has to stop and therefore it is critically important that we cannot deal with this issue just as an issue for africa and for the african union or for the southern african development community is an issue that says include the say, united nations i'm glad for the united nations also in the united nations, the meeting that was taking place. the security council recently was considering

these issues because ultimately, that is the matter that can only be resolved. if there is a preparedness from every one in the world, including these big companies, to move away from this attitude to that, it doesn't matter how you do it. it doesn't matter what the human suffering and the consequences. as long as you can lay your hands on these minerals and you don't take that, you destroyed unity and advocate. you don't pay that. you destroy the hopes and the future of the people of ethic. because ultimately, the tragedy that he's playing out now is the destruction of human life and hope for the african people. therefore, i don't think we should play for one done the d r c offered in each other. we should concern ourselves about the forces behind those particular

calculations and make sure that those issues are properly addressed. all right, thank you very much. a restoration of peace and lasting peace. thank you so much. i called the house, so the african parliament member on the defendants and bigotry veterans committees . thank you so much for your insights. thank you for having me. thank moving ahead now senior diplomats from india and china have been building on the foundations set when the lead is a big 2 countries match at the last year's break summit in cuz on and the renewed input to is in the relations is already beginning to be a fruit of the 2 sides have agreed to be spot direct uh services which have been suspended since 2520 or 2020. while one of the most popular, really just pilgrimages that indians used to take to, to bet, is also set to resume. now both sides expressed desire to move forward with their
