this would be their last port before their atlantic crossing began.el guerra, one of the other crew members, at the natal yacht club, where the rich harvest docked. i've got some pictures. maybe you recognise them. let's see. yeah. is this familiar to you? yes. these photos of fox were taken by undercover brazilian police here in natal. let's check this one out. this is the restaurant. yeah. — i remember the day. rodrigo, fox, they went in some store to buy some tubes. - i was waiting in the boat. when they arrived, i saw two guys there in the restaurant. j they took the picture - from the glass, you know? we saw this picture first time when we were in. the jail in cape verde. five days after these photos were taken, fox flew back to the uk, claiming he had to attend a friend's wedding. a few days later, the rich harvest set sail for europe. fox was already back in the uk, so a new captain was hired to skipper the boat. according to brazilian police, he was also completely unaware of the cocaine hidden onboard. at first, the journey went well. then, i

and the 1st of all is the german even remain a reliable, trans atlantic potter. and also that both sides new york and the united states, profiting from of john's atlantic partnership does to us administration see it that way. um the next one i would say would seed quite differently. so they are aware of the sites and when did, but they including the vice president jay. the bands have repeatedly stated their kind of discontent to the fact that germany has not stepped up nearly fast enough or to the extent that it can given it's it cannot make weight. so they see much more need for german leadership on defense spending and, and basically the purchase of the equipment on trade. um president trump is as we know from his 1st. so i'm obsessed with the you're the us trade deficit. uh, worldwide uh, in particularly his upsets with a trade deficit with the u. one within the u. germany. this is both the case and the car industry, obviously, but also other sectors in europe is america's i think, 3rd or 4th biggest agricultural partner. uh and um, you know, advisors around j

let's speak to michael bocuirkiw, global affairs analyst and senior fellow at the atlantic council.you for talking to us and bbc news. so give us your reaction to this latest development that the president have approved the use of antipersonnel landmines to ukraine. ., ., ,, ukraine. your thoughts? sure. i coloured -- _ ukraine. your thoughts? sure. i coloured -- i— ukraine. your thoughts? sure. i coloured -- i think _ ukraine. your thoughts? sure. i coloured -- i think a _ ukraine. your thoughts? sure. i coloured -- i think a couple - ukraine. your thoughts? sure. i coloured -- i think a couple of l coloured —— i think a couple of things. one is it is recognition on the part of the biden administration that ukraine does need a lot of help right now. i would say it is a little too late, but it is also recognition of what is happening on the front line. according to the institute of the study of war, russia has gained six times more territory this year so far then it has last year, that is quite a bit. and by the way, as we are talking right now, literally seconds ago, i heard anti a

titanic sank to the frigid depths of the atlantic over a century ago. but america's fascination with the ill fated wreck never gets old because there is always something new within the last 40 years, amazing advances in science and technology have led to brilliant new discoveries and uncovered hidden secrets. tonight, we look into how the very latest titanic learning upends our previous thinking about the sadly, a recent underwater voyage to the wreck that put more human lives at risk. this is how it really happened respects like preparing to go to space because it's an incredibly hostile environment when we think about risk taking as it applies to exploration for me it's the sea the reality is that there's been fewer people that have dove to the titanic than have actually gone into space operation is now underway in the north atlantic, in the area near the wreck of the titanic, to find a lost submersible with five people aboard. when the titan failed to surface at its indicated time, then there was an alarm and the coast guard was notified and the sear

and the other cornerstone of the drums, atlantic relationship security. if we can just muller bit about security, donald trump has made a number of threats. innovation from nato, which is the cornerstone of europe and security, withdrawing from nato, allowing russia to attack dealing with nations. i think that was a wedding that he use. what does your expect will the us withdrawal complexity from metal or when it basically reduce its commitments to the point that the autumn literally has to stand and it's going to feed and getting thrown together. um, we were drawing back completely legally out of natal would be a disaster. it would be also really, really difficult the same by the way, with a lot of other international organizations. although they have been severely criticized also. and the 2025 habits has foundation folds. and so i don't expect the us to really pull out legally out of these instance business. but you can do a lot of things disrupting and, and, and making them not work. why staying in there? by blocking decisions or not paying your dues.

>> the other thing is, they're in a lifeboat in the north atlantic. you know, you can hardly imagine how scary that would be in the dark with thousands of people screaming for help and what they did believe is they would be immediately swamped. >> one lifeboat, perhaps heroically, rowed back towards the wreck to see if there were any survivors. >> the famous event is lifeboat number 14, commanded by fifth officer lowe, who went back to the scene of the sinking after it had quieted down. >> they were amongst you know, all kinds of bodies by the time they got there. one of the crewmen said he just couldn't look over the side of the lifeboat because he just thought he'd break down very sadly, about 1500 people drowned in the titanic disaster all that remained of the majestic rms titanic was a handful of lifeboats and some survivors clinging to life. >> even on board the lifeboats, there was still danger the sea started to pick up as they were floating around for hours. >> it wouldn't have taken a whole lot to swamp the 16 wooden lifeboats. >> it was very

the baptist, mon foundations, your program, but he focuses on problems, atlantic trade as a guarantee and us foreign policy. welcome brendan. let's talk about donald trump 1st. what is it that scares all water is germany and by extension europe the most. so 1st and foremost, we have to say the 2nd donald trump term would likely be more intense, more aggressive than his 1st. he doesn't have to worry about reelection is unlikely to have moderating voices in his inner circle. and he simply has more experience this time around. it's about us to be said initially, but with a look to u. s. foreign policy. aside from china we, we could experience an almost complete reversal from the bite in years. trans linux security and defense would be a major issue. donald trump, as clearly stated he, he's, he's skeptical with this organization. i don't anticipate that the united states, we would withdraw from native completely. but what we could see is a weakening of the us pillar. this, this critical alliance that could play out in a number of ways, reduction of us forest, fostering europe. donald trum

now it's filled with trees. 810000 representing 500 species of the atlantic forests. the farm is no and expanding conservation projects with new lands being bought and reforest it. me. kyla says the project could always succeed by involving the local community. farmers became gardeners, hunters became forced guards and guides for scientists and taurus. students now understand that their future depends on this forest, and i mean that just the students to buy some processes. and these children grew up surrounded by nature. but that doesn't mean they understand its importance. when the parents work here, when scientists and tourists come looking for rest of the sheets of them, it gives display significance. this year has tested brazil, fires have ravaged the pump demo, leaving scores on the world's largest tropical wetlands. historic drought has drained rivers and the amazon you had him to have well reserved people keep moving forward. fueled by a simple idea of forest re born one trees at a time. monica, and i'll give, i'll just sierra web yes to brazil. and then pick s

the atlantic council mission is to shape the global future together with partners and allies. essential to that mission is the freedom and prosperity center that we have at the council. with this mission of promoting the well-being of the poor and marginalized populations around the world the center produces key research explain the interplay between prosperity, democracy and freedom. like so many around the world that we believe the best way to defend freedom and democracy is to assure the evidence of this benefit. so the freedom and prosperity center does just that. it's indices that it produces show democracy and the rule of law are really essential ingredients for true long-term prosperity. this is an un- biased data driven fact-based argument against these autocratic models. much of the center's research focuses on the pursuit of democracy around the rug along with the world the u.s. and the allies play in promoting the democratic institutions in developing countries all of his work so hard to safeguard. has been a key collaborator of the century in producing this researc
