the, the right handed into poll says it's boston, a large scale ukrainian lead criminal network reset to be using the commer refugees to carry out its illegal activities the running for their lives. locals. lee, fighting in the democratic republic of congo, f militants, take control of a major city that a sub advocate and member of parliament tells our chief width of businesses are deliberately feeling the cold war has become the tool of wealth and mental extraction. by the way, i'm talking about greek multinational companies, good one to make sure that they have access to their

a host minerals of the d. s. that we can see may be just behind us here. this is very so just, just yards away. he's got his gun trading the people here, so which wants to take a bit of tab because these are so these are opening 5 that will be self that this ones today, just a few minutes ago. washington extends a deadline for ease roll to lead, solve and 11 on after on the initial window expired. they are due on sunday and it comes us not least, 24 civilians were killed while trying to return home to territories currently occupied by the idea of the hello there. welcome to our team to national new center with the latest updates i a michael watching. now a media ukraine and lead criminal network has been busted by interpol. they all use

international police forces said, but the guy had been taken advantage of a lack of oversight of refugees from the war in order to commit money laundering and other crimes amounting to tens of millions of year olds. 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 o 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 status in the you given that the 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 that 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 his instrument. some use legal methods fleeing while they can many try 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 you 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 exploited to move massive amounts of cash, a within the you across the borders and basically to just operates when some of them use were uncovered. well, 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 need to exploits to attract more people within the rank speech route. because well, basically who will find themselves 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 that 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 load them into the web of crime, to with promises of a quick and easy money of scratches and so on. now you can almost done financial

experts. it's almost pen says the family is in the used old refugee policies of allowed situations like this to happen. a lot of these people, you know, have no documentation of no, it does have no bank accounts. and as you discussed earlier, i mean these people need to make money. they need to live, the governments have, you know, created this moral hazard because we're offering all the wrong incentives for people to come here. that's not the way it used to be. they're not coming from, you know, freedom of religions and coming for uh, you know, an open society that coming essentially for the, the, the handouts that are been given out. you know, from these european countries, countries like germany, france and others. and you know, these countries have demographic problems. they, they are trying to get people into the labor market. and the problem is that we have, you know, on z like schemes like i'm a pension system, especially in germany that we require bodies desperately to get people in here to

have them on this this, this is we have a pay as you go system and they need desperately to get people into that system. and you know, when you, when you let people into the country or into it through the union in mass, a lot of them on document that you know, that you create a situation where these types of problems you know, are essentially unavoidable. and that's, that's where we find ourselves out here in africa. the every 23 minutes of the group play. and we still have taken control of a major city in the democratic republic of the congo near the rwandan border marketing a change in the region state us to. now we've obtained footage from the city of boma, highlighting the situation there. on monday, you can see a lot of on the people in military clothing. there are also a few vehicles all occupying one of the central squares and why they're not being

handed. that's surrounded by a large crowds with a population of about 3000000 people. according to the u. n. g o ma is the largest city the eastern part of the country, a bid, the chaos reports also claim the prisoners have escaped from my local prison. now this video. busy megs, don't social media facilities build us believe to have held about 3000 inmates. report say that there. well, some a fatality is during the jail break, although the incense number is on clear assets. now, the people that have been seen seeing from the gun fire report save us soldiers of the companies army were forced to hand over the webpage to un peacekeepers militants from the $23.00 rebel group of told low cost to remain calm. but just days ago, the provinces golf no was killed in the minutes into sold

a people say that they are living in fear. we are in a terrible state of fear because the explosions were 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 quickly, closing the door. a balm fell just a few steps from our street. i went outside and that's when with a terrifying crash, the gunfire erupted. still, 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 of a d r. c. army has condemned 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 so how do i say to be about the 3 minutes then group has been active with the eastern democratic republic of the congo for several decades. not you grew out of the tensions of the rwandan genocide in the 1919 nineties. now the anthony 3 is believed to have all originally emerged as a group of ethnic to see rebels. now on march the 20th. busy 2009, they reached the peace agreement with kinshasa and assumed the name m $23.00. in honor of that date. however, the agreement did not last long as fighting erupt again between both sides of the violence, right? the b escalated in 2021. and that came a mid detour,

a rating relations between bewanda and the driver seat, which blame each other for the conflict. i don't this past weekend, i'm voicing the he went straight at bobs about the dispute 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 mean, is that a guardian for violating this is fire after the postponement of the 15th of december 20241. the assignment ministration aggravated under ground, due to the data says obsession with the military 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 rolanda space. now the d r c is rate shouldn't be natural resources. in fact, it is the well,

the largest producer of cobalt. now the country is also the world's largest produce of coal time, a key mineral for making batteries for mobile phones and even electric vehicles. not only a year ago, but you use find the memorandum with rwanda for role of material supply chains. and that's the spiked reports coming much of what is considered lawanda as we know a production is actually small built into, into the country from the d r. c. a d r c president, oppose the agreement saying the rwanda was no team come, will these be natural resources? and also the african member of parliament called the house believes that the western companies are behind in the conflict due to the insufferable test for resources. war has become the tool of wealth and mineral extraction by the waste. we are faced with a situation in many countries on ethic or whether it's super exploitation of the

natural, abundant minute will result in those countries. i'm sadly, it is always the people that are thinking people who are coming sick, who are being exploited. and if we want peace in this area, we need to move away from this process with matter owners also and money accounts, mold and human b. if we can do that, and therefore it also has to make a full on the european 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 property so terribly because of the situation 1st, rather than days to put prophets since they make out of the mining all the 3 minerals. i'm talking about big multinational companies that want to make sure that

they have access to their a hose, minerals of the d, f c. and they don't care whether they care to, through the government of the g, r c o, through themes of ancient software, one the or through any other group, such as the him, 23. good. now, the only thing they interested in is to get those minerals because those minerals is single in the manufacturing, all computers and of smartphones. and in fact, some of those minerals are only found in the d r c. so it's easy, simple for them to have access to those materials away from africa, senior diplomats from india and china had been building on the foundation set when the leaders of both countries method locked us, break somebody to in cars on russia and the video didn't. pettus in their relations is already beginning to be a fruits out of 2 sides of agreed to response direct services which have been

suspended since 2020. now, while one of the most popular, really just pilgrimages that indians used to take to to bed is also set to resume about both sides expressed the desire to move forward with their relations. the guys on our way to stabilizing the relationship. i cannot over emphasize the importance of communications between our 2 countries and i would like to specifically record the contribution that you personally have made in maintaining these communications at various levels between not to leadership. so you are the last delegation of foreign gift we are receiving in the year of the dragon, the signals we will have a new beginning. i would like to welcome you and wish you success in these consultations. so we may reach a consensus and provide new power for the improvement and development of ad bilateral relationship, which is a big breakthrough in the india, china,

by last relationship, that the outcomes also become miss. we informed secretary's visit to be joining, have actually underline the importance of ongoing talks that have been happening between the 2 countries. now the big takeaways number one is the resumption of the direct flights between the 2 countries in the china. this a school has been decided in principal as us now, but in weeks and months to come technically will down as ease of full. so going to be discussed and we will see the resumption of the slides. then in 2025. also the 2nd big data we've really is the resumption over the last month. so what are you all ronald? this is approved in giovanni. that ended steak and the winds to tibetan, which is why the agreement between india and china is important for that. top of

that has been on the whole since 2020 off of the go with them. they're making a full stay off the blood, these comb issues at the border between india and china as a line of actually controlled nbc. and after that, now you see that other sanction also slice with the place of this is something which is going to be extremely significant in the, on that a, this will resume in the summer of 2025. and this is a big, big journey that is a secret to several in news as well as i'll put this in james in india. so big development there, but also let me take you to what next to that. now, let's go back to 2020. when we saw the classes on the border of the line of action with control off to that the relationship between india and china and body read have all come to stand still. and it was unimaginable that the relationship would

resume and so quickly, but from 2020 to october of last year, 2024 to on a 21st of october or as the agreement was signed for disengagement. but swimming and just in the off to that a 23rd of october, the needles of the 2 nations match. bro, i'm gonna send the movie investment changing fee of that amazing. remember happened . incas song in russia that happened during the sidelines of the brick, somebody to see significant that was because it was the 1st meeting that took place between the 2 need of it's 50, dear of. and also that meeting the 2 leaders decided that the another would be this option of talk stuff, several by law mechanisms. we also saw a g do all indian national security advisor. he went to b g lee in december, and also that he discussed with his counter tops several details as far as the

border dispute and the disengagement dis, concealing and now become mystery and informed secretaries with the 26th and 27th the to the was it of when each was, it has to do with all the steps which is really important. given the fact that to the, to the agents supervisors in the, in china, they are a big trading fox news of each other. in fact, china happens to be one of the biggest reading thoughts. no, but also india. and she has bought a new border around a 3500 kilometer long border with china. and therefore, the developments the rigs, the significant, not just for the 2 nations, but for the stability over the entire nation. wide 11 on one passing has reportedly been killed as civilians continued drawing to return to the homes and the south of the country are those who made it all finding the territory still occupied by is ready forces not stopped or

a deadline for the withdrawal was extended 24 people are reported to have lost their lives didn't sunday, including 6 women. and that's according to the lebanese health ministry. a 134 people are said to have been wounded, including 12 who's suffered gunshots. r t. steve sweeney has droplets to the area and re. busy it's on how i, the of soldiers are still out the scene with think this on their try. guess that we can see may be just behind us here. says is ready. so just, just yards away. he's got his gun trained on the people here. so which ones take a bit of time because these are the soldiers are opening 5 and what each of those ones today, just a few minutes ago, the situation is incredibly 10, say about people are saying here was an act of defiance and not allowing the ladies to dictate when they come and calling pertaining to that room, but it is what these ladies all doing and not the extension of that c 5 agreement

was to give them more time to the but the refusing to do so. we can see them work about time just up here is why the so which is the wrong here. just from this way, we can see the villages, men and women and children in amongst the lebanese on forces as i tried to return home to them. and it is the deadline has been extended until february, the 18th, after the initial 60 day window expires late on sunday, with the idea of feeding to withdrawal from the area. uh, the initial town announced in late november gave, has the last 60 days to pull back above the tiny river, and that runs across southern lebanon and required the idea of to withdrawal completely from the country over the same time period. now, while washington announced the deadline extension usual blamed the lebanese on me for not feeling its bought a big deal will not endanger its citizens and its population senses. and we

will insist on the full implementation of this goal of the will. now move, that is namely returning out residence safely to that homes. so, it is yes to an enduring piece with lebanon, but it is a big no to his blog. redeploying along apple is not again, never again to a kid. i'm a can research i in media and politics. hi, audio harry fee is a be continue these revenue presence and the solve a lebanon, could lead to classes with local citizens, not test by actually, as you saw it very board that the, the is there. it is, are blaming anybody states or i think about his army for not them come. i think the 6 far agreement. however, we know that is where a actually is trying to circumvent the agreement because they believe that we are trying to continue. uh,

what they achieved in the cloud as to political means. so we know that the bodies are nice, is replying or replying back to be in the soul. but also, according to the agreement, the deployment of the bodies army is based on the withdrawal and of the is there any occupation forces? so the 1st thing is they have to do that anybody's on me as he did in other places or villages and the so they wouldn't be deployed. and then they would control the area and know if the interest situation community was they wouldn't be conflicts of the classes. start between the people of the village is the inhabitants of the villages, the people, the south and the a. is there a, i mean, i'm not as low as the claim as part of the ceasefire and the hostage exchange deal between our mazda and these role. nearly 300 palestinians

have been released from prison. one of them is oblong saw that has been the is the secretary general of the popular fund for the liberation of palestine. he is still behind boss. the art is more of an auction. i spoke with abdulla about the time she spent locked up without any charges ever being made against ha to the sum i was arrested on september 17th, 2024. during the arrest i was informed that i was being held under administrative detention for 4 months. the 4 months ended on january 16th just 2 days before the deal, and my detention was renewed. administrative detention means being held without any charges or legal trial. so it was renewed for another 4 months. meaning i was supposed to be released on may 15th, my name was included in the deal and i was released in the 1st exchange for hold of as far as i understand you were on the administrative detention mean in israel did

not push forward any charges against you so what was the formal reason for these really authorities to arrest you? what did you do? what did they claim? as the reason behind this arrest and higher damon and you had the honestly, administrative detention, as we said, doesn't involve any legal charges. however, they always claim there's a secret file. they listed several allegations such as me being part of a terrorist organization communicating with leaders in the popular front. they also accuse me of being an activist and d, stabilizing the security of the state of israel, and so on. of course, there is no investigation. the investigator reads out the charges and asks, do you want me to sign or will you know, i told him to sign. so he did, could i obviously all these accusations are baseless, but or do you think your imprisonment has something to do with as much so that your husband who is now in jail, who is the secretary general of the popular front,

folded the ration of palestine and then uh can when there was an appeal hearing to confirm the sentence, my lawyer asked if i could speak to the judge. i told the judge that there was no reason for my arrest other than being ok months. so that's why this was my 3rd arrest in my 2nd one back in 2003. it was also administrative detention for 4 months, solely to pressure ok mode, especially since i'm older with 4 children and 5 grandchildren. i have responsibilities. i'm not politically active. i may be socially active in women's and human rights fields, but that doesn't justify my detention yet about that. and if i'm doing these 4 months, which prison you were held in and what were the conditions there and how you know, for women prisoners, damon prison is the only facility there were about $96.00 women there. excluding kalita, who was in solitary confinement. the prison conditions were extremely harsh. i've

been detained 3 times, but this was the hardest. there was constant repression. collective punishment for the entire section. the food was very poor and both quantity and quality and the health care situation was dire. even the prison doctor acted as a jailer towards the female prisoners. there was constant repression and punishments were frequent. on the morning of october, 7th, they repressed us. they sprayed us with gas while we were in our rooms, handcuffed us blindfolded us drag us outside and forced us to kneel in the yard under the israeli flag and national anthem while taking pictures. it was like a horror movie. the food provided was just enough to survive, not to satisfy hunger. if someone was sick, there was no treatment for them other than the doctor telling them to drink water. so as if that would cure everything. there were no family visits, no communication. we felt like we were living in our graves. we were completely cut

off from the outside world. we didn't know what was happening outside. we wouldn't even know if someone's father, husband or brother had passed away. we'd only find out if a lawyer visited. it was through lawyers that we learned bits of information about what was happening outside is a way from the middle east. now ministry security, finance, energy, and food. all of these sectors have been the up for debate, types of rushes from yet think tank. the vaulted discussion club hosted talks between russia and indian delegations now associated the side of the, of a canada international foundation probation, who my group who's attending the event has a new delhi actively seeking to diversify its trade with moscow away from just oil . the id in order to keep order in order

to sustain the 7 blue enough economy and create growth between in intellect and, and russia. there's a need to diversify the 10 bucks that the book. but that does not cover that. if in the what the feed, i know that the on trade between and then russia, if the main component of our to buy a containment, we also need to diversify the create a known. i think we need to identify the potential effect of need to cooperate. gonzales sector. we have that knowledge. we have a foot for us, i think agriculture, science, tech innovation. there are a lot of sectors where we need to invest more by locally and which, which might take the end of the plant and the chromebook relation to evans. now one of the main highway east of the sub in capital has come to a grinding halt. tap of thousands of students blocked it in the which started on

mondays slides to last for 24 hours. it's the latest in the series of mass riley's on the streets of the grade of the demonstrations 1st erupt. back in november, i made an go out the collapse of the railway station and nobody side which left 15 people dead says that the students have demanded. those responsible for the deadly disaster be house to account of a sub and president alexander, of which has said that the government is open to dialogue. however, he also claimed outside forces looking to use the rest of the country to, to their own advantage. audited still with our international for all the latest from around the world by for watching and i'll see you again the .
