[000:00:00;00] the right handed into both as it's plus the large scale. the cranium, lad, is criminal, and that was set to be using the cover of draft reduced to carry out a 2 legal activities the a running for their lives. locals, flea fighting in the democratic republic of congo as the militants to take control of a major city that a south african member of parliament sales are key. the western businesses are deliberately linked to has become the tools of wealth and mental

extraction by the waste. i'm talking about big multinational companies that want to make sure that they have access to their ecos minerals falsity. i've seen that what you see may be just behind us here. this is very so just just yards away. he's got his gun trained on the people here so which wanted to take a bit of capital, please. what you saw just already putting 5 that will be self. that is once today, just a few minutes ago. a washington extends the deadline for ease roll to lead, solve and lab, and on after. and the initial window expired earlier on sunday, and it comes as least 24 civilians were killed while trying to return home. the territory is covered the occupied by ideas the what this is, are the international reaching you from the russian capital with the late just from around the world. i a michael question now. um, many jo,

ukrainian lead criminal network has been busted by interpol of the use international police force said that 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. mounting to tens of millions of yours. 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 they have been predominantly made up of ukrainian nationals. and given that the humanitarian will impact of this war has being felt in ukraine, many millions have fled 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 his instrument . 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 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 exploded to move massive amounts of cash to 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 when it means they simply don't have any profession 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 move them into the web of crime,

to with promises of quick and easy money of status and so on. now they kind of based on financial experts, it's almost ben says the fame years, it'd be use old refugee policies of allowed situations like this to happen. a lot of these people, you know, have no documentation of note. we 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, 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 religion, and that coming for uh, you know, an open society that coming essentially for the, the, the handouts that are given out, you know, from these european countries, countries like germany, france and others. and you know, these countries have demographic problems. they, they trying to get people into the labor market. and the problem is that we have, you know, honestly like schemes that kind of 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, and you know, when you, when you let people into the country or into it through the union in mass, a lot of them and documented, 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. about restoring the node streams so that russian gas could, once again, flow to europe should read forever, remain a pipe dream. that's the key ever bought. so from the polish president to those voices calling for the restoration of the key energy structure. i can only hope that europe and leaders will learn lessons from russia's aggression against ukraine, and that they will push through a decision to never restore the pumping of gas through this pipeline. i believe the

north stream pipelines should be dismantled. of course, it is quite a dramatic rhetoric from poland, especially when we consider the facts polish president stated that gas flowing from russia to western europe should never be restored, even if you still between ukraine and russia is rich. he also insisted that sanctions against russia are working and that europe should never and stop considering working with russia. now it is a known fact that energy prices in europe have sky rocket rocketed due to the disruption of the supplies of gas coming from russia. hungary and slovakia has been increasingly calling on brussels to review its sanctions list. any sections, policy against russia, as of course, that is her attend those countries and other countries in the u. but while most members in the voluntarily stopped importing

a russian gas at several continued to buy a russian liquefied natural gas, which has also been partially targeted by sanctions now, it's been reported that the use in ports of this gas from russia search in the 1st 2 weeks of 2025 rising by more than 10 percent in an annual terms in ports of russian liquefied natural gas are now at an old time high in the e. u. so while pull additions continue to call for more sanctions to be pushed against russia, it seems that that route is not necessarily helping the you at all. meanwhile, you have in germany, politicians are now coming out and call in on the turns governments to respond to the surge of energy prices caused by you please, refusal to trends that russian gas to view countries. and for also was for the pipelines we have ad not stream, we will put nord stream back into operation. you can rely on that. we have already

drafted many of the necessary laws and introduced them in the brenda's talk. all other groups have rejected them. when we are at the helm, we will tear down all wind turbines down with these windmills of shame. but despite all of this, you for an administer still agreed to extend the economic sanctions against russia for at least another 6 months. and the hon gary and the prime minister threatened to block the extension over a ukraine's refusal to restart the flow of russian gas to the you and it is normal . that hungry is quite frustrated about the whole situation because it does rely heavily on a russian gas, a percentage of which flow through the trends you frame pipeline. it is not the only country at odds with the e u when it comes to russian gases. it, of course hungry is not alone. i mean, ukraine's the refusal to extend its trends. that contract has cut off the flow of

natural gas to several countries including slovakia. now the slovak prime ministers, roberts fits so, has announced that the country will essentially veto any future your queen aid that is considered by the e. o. and the prime minister says that they will be taking a reciprocal approach towards kids. he has also stated older potential moves that brought his love a would take like halting the emergency electricity supply, stopping humanitarian aid, the deliveries or cutting benefits received by ukrainian refugees. in slovakia he of also opted not to renew the trends that contract which allowed the flow of gas from russia to slovak, yet through your brain. and that is despite multiple signal in time and time and says that it is ready and open to supply natural gas to if you partners. and just recently, roberts fits. so mess with vladimir,

put an end to that is to discuss this very same issue. but it seems that you, wayne essentially refuses to cooperate or negotiate. so it looks like feelings of frustrations continue to grow in the e o and within the blog. and clearly the sections approach is not working the way they've been meaning for it to work. so this is where they are now in africa. now, the m 23 militant group claims to have taken control of a major city of the democratic republic of congo near the rwandan border. mocking a change in the region status quote that we've obtained the footage from the city of goma, highlighting the situation there. on monday, you can see a lot of the people in military clothing. there are also a few vehicles all occupying one of the central squares. and why they're not being headed there surrounded by a large crowd with

a population of about 3 medium people. according to the u. n. goma is the largest city the eastern part of the country. now the chaos reports also claim that prisoners have escaped from the local prison. now this video with managed on social media and the facilities believe to have held about $3000.00 inmates report say that there was some fatalities during the jail break. although the exact number is unclear, the of all the people that have been seen slaying from the gun, fire and report say, the soldiers of the commodities all we were forced to hand over the weapons to un peacekeepers. many times from the m. 23, a rebel group have told locals to remain calm. but just days ago, the provinces governor was killed and the militant sold. people say 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 while quickly closing the door. a bomb failed, 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 of the d. r. c. army has condemned the m 23 group say that it has committed war crimes and it goes to the it was i'm a new sco helicopter that we 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. now the m 23 minutes and the group has been active in the east and d r c for decade. so they drew out the tensions of the rwandan genocide in the 19 ninety's. not m 20 three's believe to have all originally but that's a group of ethnic towards the rebels. on march, the 23rd, 2009, they reached a peace agreement with kinshasa and assume the name m 23 and the honor of that date . how about the agreement did not last long. this find interrupted again between both sides of the violent rapid re escalated in 2021. that came, i made a detour, arranging relations between lawanda and the d. r. c, which blade the java for the conflict. i've done this past weekend on voice, and the un treated bob's about the dispute to unfortunately with

a great idea to imagine the community chose to condemn the empty city for extending your state attorney is without condemning 5. this admitted to collision for violating this is cya after the postponement of the 15th of december 2024. when the assignment ministration aggravated under ground, due to the dentist is up session 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 exportation is only one aspect of the aggression carried out by rolanda. now the d. r c is rich in mineral resources. it is the well, the largest produce of cobalt the country is also the world's largest reduce of coal time, the key mineral for making batteries for bonds, for mobile phones and electric vehicles. now only a year ago that you use signed the memorandum with miranda,

with the wanda for all materials supply chains. and that's the spot reports creating much of what is considered one does mean or production is actually smuggled into the country from the driver seat of the d. r. c. president, oppose the agreement. say that rwanda was looting communities mean there are resources. so i think a member of parliament call it the house, believes that western companies, how about a large hand in the conflict due to their and sociable tests for resources. what has become the to all of wealth and minimal expection by the waste. we are faced with a situation in many countries of africa where there's super exploitation of the natural, a bundled in the middle result is in those countries. and sadly, it is always the people that are thinking people who are coming 2nd to being exploited. and if we want peace in this area,

we need to move away from this process. we know there's also an money counts mold and human beings, if we can do that. and therefore, i also has to make a call on the or p and union on all the companies that are located in the european union. and also in the united states to put to the human beings, the population was profiting so terribly because of this situation. first, rather than days to put prophets that 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 strew the government of the r c. o through seen to the insurance officer won the whole through any other group such as the him, 23. good. you know,

the only thing they interested in is to get those minerals because those minerals are single in the manufacturing of 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. now, when lab a non one processing has reportedly been killed, us civilians continued trying to return to the old homes in the south of the country. those who made it off, finding the territory still occupied by these ready forces, and that's after a deadline for the withdrawal fraud was extended. now $24.00 people are reported to have lost their lives since sunday, including 6 women. and that's according to the lebanese health. the history, a 134 people are set to have been wounded, including 12 who suffered gunshots. our days, thieves, 20 sweeney,

have traveled to the area and reports on how i the of sold as i still out the scene with think as on the trigger. as 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 tend to about people saying, hey, it 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 they have 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 among the lebanese armed forces. as i tried to return

home to the advantages of the deadline has been extended onto the february 18th after the initial 60 day window expired. late on sunday with the idea of failing to withdrawal from the area of the initial time. the announced in late november gave, has the last 60 days to pull back above the lead time. the river that runs across solve the lebanon, and require the idea of, on the other hand, to withdrawal completely from the country over the same time period. a while washington announced the deadline extension. e's real blaine's the lebanese all me for not if you feel it gets part of a 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 our residence safely to their 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 is now a kid that me can restart. terry media and politics hot l, however, you refuse to continue these really presence in southern lebanon could lead to classes with local citizens, not hash block. actually, as we saw it very board that the, the is there it is. are blaming anybody states or i think about his army or nothing came i think the 6 for an agreement. however, a, we know that the is where a actually is trying to circumvent the agreement because the baby leave for the we are trying to continue. what they achieved in on the ground as to political means. we know that they did, but he's army is really playing or replying back to be in the soul. but also, according to the agreement, the deployment of anybody's army is based on the withdrawal. one 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 so they wouldn't be deployed and then they would control the area and know if the interest situation continue was they wouldn't be conflicts on the classes. this far between the people of the village is the inhabitants of the villages, the people, the so the, the, the is i e, i mean i'm not as well as the can i. and now, following 16 months of brutal conflict, tens of thousands of displaced by listing and finally able to head back to the north of gather to see if there's anything left of their homes are valued if has allowed them to make the journey. as part of the ongoing ceasefire deal now of vast crowd has been making its way along the and caves western coasts. since the early

morning. the agreements to let palestinians return to know has reached on or was reached out to have my said it would release ease, ready, hostile, hostage, amelia, who now people had been seen carrying the belongings on foot as they walked along the main highway, arriving along the coast many of those who have been forced to live in 10 captain schools for more than a year, say they are desperate to return home. i can't describe my feelings to you after 15 months away from our homes, away from the country we grew up in. it feels more like 15 years. we're ready to sit on top of the rubble on top of everything we have lost. but we want to be in our home. we spent 3 days sleeping next to the check point in our tense. the display, we arrive safely, make things turn out well. as you can see, we are in a situation of homelessness and misery. i know you are well today. i am very happy, very,

very happy. my joy today has made me forget the fatigue of one year and 5 months despite the pain and despite the wounds god willing, we will return to the soil of our country to our homeland, to our loved ones, we lost a lot. we lost lives, we lost our homes, but our country will never lose its joy. thank god, in any case, we thank god no matter what happens to us. we will remain steadfast for a 1000 years despite netanyahu. despite trump, and despite traitorous arab leaders, we will remain steadfast since one day wanting thousands and thousands of displays guidance have started heading back to their homes in the north of the street a moment they've been waiting months for the things on the ground. a bose hard breaking on hopeful families with children, the elderly, and the sick making. they dramatic way back carrying what little they have left some cloves, maybe a mattress, a bag or 2, that's about it. and while they are returning, most of the homes are barely spent,

and according to the un office for the called, the nation of humanitarian affairs. over 92 percent of homes in gauze molden, $400000.00 residences happening, damaged, or destroyed. in 15 months of the war, the conflict has displaced nearly 90 percent of guys of civilian population around 2000000 people. and now, they are returning north to the foreign lands as some have proposed to what remains of their own mas responding to american president suggestion to send guns out, tulsa in place, emphasized to the termination of the pal listing and people to hold onto the land. and reject any form of force displacement or expulsion or this remember trump 3rd additional confer receive with his all 10 suggestion made the board a force one to relocate dozens to egypt and jordan before 6 months to a year. i'd like egypt to take people and i'd like jordan to take people. you're talking about a 1000000 and

a half people and we just clean out that whole thing. you know, over the centuries it's had many, many conflicts. and i don't know something has to happen. it's literally a demolition side. almost everything is demolished and people are dying. the so i'd rather get involved with some of the arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change. their way action is row was mix somehow, or the hard line is including former national security minister bend to be around finance minister small to welcome to the idea. colon is the right solution to the current crisis with across the air world. and especially in egypt and jordan in the country, strong proposed would cost displace gardens. the response was switched and for out, try projection. age of score ministry stated that such a plan would the civilized, the region and violate palestinian rights jordan's for administer warren. but really caging probably students could escalate security risk and disrupt the

delicate demographic balance of the region from us has think age of 10, jordan for their position and called on all the arab states to join the stance. the arab league uniting over 20 as nations held in emergency meeting early in cairo were a member states collectively rejected from side to the force displacement and eviction of people from the land can only be called ethnic cleansing. attempts to operate the palestinian people from the land, whether by displacement, annexation or settlement expansion had been proven to fail in the past. all the disapproval expended across the muslim world. malaysia's problem that is to condemn drums proposal bringing it unacceptable and accusing him of favor in israel at the expense of palestinian rides. he read to re to the laser strong support for 2 state solution and trust the need for fairness and resolving this conflict. for now though gavin's heading home off the delays base really army has opened the necessary inquiry door. the line that divides the sweeping to northern and southern

sections. the corn door heavily morning, told and controlled by the idea of was meant to open on saturday. but things didn't go as planned. how mosque delayed the process by break it? it's part of the hostage exchange still, instead of prioritizing the release of civilian hostages, they handed over for is really soldiers and stuff, day and after 10. so we go. sions. an agreement was finally reached late sunday, and by monday, people began moving for these families. it is of course, a bit to the sweets return. they going back not to what was but to whatever is left for why still with our team to national for all the latest from around the world. specs of watching and by not

the what else? so they just don't have to shape house and engagement because the trails when so many find themselves world support, we choose to look for common ground. the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision. with no real opinions, fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st?
