Now rival rallies are underway in the u. S. Capitol right when protesters are opposing a social media baron on some of the movements leaders or counter protesters are nearby responding to calls to curtail White Supremacists and our correspondent Shihab Rattansi is at those protests in washington d. C. To talk us through whats happening there shihab. White supremacist rather to lose all the way down the other end. Of the counter protest. I mean its a very good natured about theres a go go party going on there thats a particular d. C. Form of funk music people in town saying it will be regulated whats happening is every now and then provocateurs apparently from the other side have been walking through in that full trump ira finale and clearly trying to provoke that most pretty swiftly towards the Police Barricades by the that that you know the group that was recognizable whether it was dressed in black and they had supposedly just and everyone here so that they then pushed towards the barricades and at least on one occasion as the trump folks were being were being handed over to the police side there was some kind of skirmish between the police and the. Last a few seconds it was very very minor but no doubt those are the pictures that all the National Networks will lead on because at least it gives them the excitement i think of their craving for this event which is right now you know isnt terribly i mean they disappeared a few 100 people down there police are separating everyone quite quite well and would see but lets talk to them sort of more about whats going on because trump is a big factor overshadowing everything were doing michael show from d. C. United in hate and its interesting that i mean that trump signs it suddenly appear every now and then it sort of sort of puts into focus what is happening on the other end over there because in the old days White Supremacy and and almost you know its time to focus on the soldiers to know they were there all over the place but now they seem to be finding some kind of unity parents well i think were seeing with the you know election of donald trump the rise of a global far right. Not and as well as a movement in the streets here in the United States that we havent seen for many years now i mean but they way they do have a point over the having the freedom is just because you see a rise in speech that we dont agree with it doesnt mean it should be censored facebook and twitter shouldnt be deciding what is acceptable political speech than the point by doing ok well yeah i think that issue of free speech really has to do with. You know basically. What the what their speeches is doing is a bunch of reading hate and weve seen through vigilante violence against synagogues and mosques the car the terrorist attack in charlottesville how this sort of hate speech is interpreted by their supporters and so people are out here today to oppose the far right opposed hate speech. Were going to progressive groups like your own actually have been affected by facebook and twitter deciding no dogs hate speech is not a problem they want to yeah issue so what happened to us last year during the one the 1st anniversary of charlottesville we had our counter protest against the same people who organized in charlottesville our Facebook Event was taken down because it had there was some issue where facebook thought it was not a real events and so days before the event we had our site taken down our event taken down which caused us you know made it harder for us to mobilize so you know private institutions private corporations being in charge of who can say why it is not only undemocratic but its unreliable so i think you know for me we should allow free speech for all. But when it comes up more right and what theyre saying its actually advocating for violence and the end if they ever gain power they would take away the rights of all the rights of free speech for more minorities for women you know the people we have to think about the long walk i shall that you very very much. Think you do come down a great deal about the police have mobilized that quite a bit the sort of corralling are so far more than they were out there well keep an eye on things she have thank you very much she have a tontine live in washington d. C. Now 55 is a common through the wreckage of a pizza store and the u. S.

Happened in hong kong today psychologists and counselors are reporting an increase in the incidence of depression here in hong kong as this political deadlock and social unrest continues at least 2 other suicides have been linked to the protests for whom Memorial Services will also be held the organizers of these events have to be extremely careful that they get the right balance between giving people the chance to pay their respects without. Giving the person the hero martyrdom status that might encourage others to follow which would add to the tragedy. To gaza now where more women than ever before are making up the workforce with unemployment at record levels women are setting up their own businesses to raise money for their families but they have to deal with the cultural as well as economic barriers as rob matheson reports from gaza. 17 year old mina simoun studies Computer Programming at school shes also learning from her brother how to make coffee in her mothers cafe because she says she doesnt have much chance of getting a job in gaza it isnt what i just read i think women should work because in gaza out there are no Job Opportunities when i work it means i can provide for my family my husband and my son in his mothers supreme started selling her food through a Facebook Page 2 years ago business became so good customers had to order 2 days in advance after her kitchen cook rope broke down supreme decided to open her cafe and its my life its security for my children its the sweetest thing and it has a lot of meaning for me i want to expand and open more shops there are 2000000 people in gaza and its estimated that in 2852 percent of them didnt have a job 2 out of every 3 young people including graduates were unemployed for the same period the number of women who were in work went up by 26 percent even though thats just a small part of the workforce according to the world bank up to 80 percent of gazas economy has been propped up for several years by money from the Palestinian Authority and foreign aid donations but that funding is dropping gazas economy shrank by 8 percent in 2800. Well isnt cousin da started selling her t. Shirt designs online in 2014 thats her business expanded she became a mentor for other female entrepreneurs here but. The biggest problem i face is that im a woman and being a woman is a big deal in gaza society especially because my profession is printing people say how come a woman is invading a mans profession the dalai Association Project is one of several that gaza which supports women who want to start their own businesses. Because the society has traditional views it allows a woman to become part of a project but just as a worker the woman cannot be a leader in the Society People know she can do it but according to traditions they dont accept it gazas businesswoman like supreme maybe creating live jobs they may also be helping to shape the attitudes of gazas new generation rob matheson al jazeera gaza.

Afraid in fact that when this agreement comes it is hard considering the weak production values in Africa Africa will be one big white house for hoarding goods. Now the opening stage all faiths are to fall has been won in a function to finish by them like turn a certain income for some odd and the serious race to wed and lead as yellow pages a 100 years since it was 1st handed out by the mccain has more from brussels. Stage one of the Tour De France delivered spills and thrills for the many thousands of people whod come to watch the sprinters and this in the main field race through the belgian capital on their way to the finish line spills in the form of a spectacular crash that took place within the last 3 kilometers of the stage bringing down several of the fancied riders notably the defending champion welshman thomas from team in ales also the dutch cyclist dylan in front of a guy who many people had thought perhaps might win the stage on saturday here in brussels in the event they came down but were able to get back into the saddle and finish the stage and they will finish with the same time as the eventual winner according to the rules of the tour that eventual winner mike tyner from the netherlands he becomes the 1st dutch cyclist to wear the Yellow Jersey in 30 years he out sprinted the man many people believe will win the overall sprinters green jersey in paris thats peter saigon from here there will be a 2nd stage taking place on sunday when theres a Team Time Trial that will favor the teams who are trying to vie with each other to win the overall prize in paris so it means its quite possible that mike telling us and the joy on saturday wearing the Yellow Jersey winning it and wearing it on sunday might be his only day in that jersey. Again im going to have a problem and that the headlines on aljazeera french president emanuel that car has admitted to irans leader that europe hasnt been able to protect iran from due west sanctions but he promised that european leaders will do everything they can to stop the 2050 nuclear deal from collapse backhand spoke to president Hassan Rouhani on the phone just a day before 10 and expected to reduce its commitment to the agreement talks aimed at ending the war in afghanistan are due to restart and catherine on sunday dozens of afghan delegates are arriving in the capital doha taliban negotiators have met a u.

S. State of florida a blast sent debris flying about 100 meters away injuring many people well those are the headlines on aljazeera do stay with us inside story is coming up next thank you very much for watching. Its probably the biggest case of modern slavery in europe again in britain preyed on hundreds of honorable people from poland they put them to work they took their money and they kept them and rats infested houses why is slavery still happening and how can they be stopped this isnt a story. Hello welcome to the program im in wrong cause they were told theyd get jobs theyd get money and they would enjoy a new lifestyle but hundreds of desperate people from poland became victims of a huge slavery operation and they were forced to live in horrific conditions 8 members of a crime gang have now been jailed for a total of more than 55 years in the u. K. But its just one example of a growing International Problem as a marriage how drink now reports its been described as the most extensive prolific modern day Slavery Network ever exposed in the u. K. A Human Trafficking gang tricked hundreds of fundable people from poland with the promise of work and a better life in britain but they exploited them and made millions of dollars for themselves initially everything seemed to k. But later on they started treating me like a thief following me controlling me every step you can leave the house because you were being followed. The gang 5 men and 3 women made their victims live in squalid cramped rat infested conditions many were homeless ex prisoners or alcoholics who were forced to work for next to nothing weve dismantled. An organized crime group which had exploited to our knowledge to over 90 victims and probably over 200. 00 victims in total because victims would come forward we put the main offenders from that group in custody for a long time with no electricity or hot water victims washed in canals and were forced to go to sea kitchens to get a meal investigators believe it is the largest criminal prosecution of its type in europe but modern slavery isnt just a european problem latest figures from the International Labor organization reveal an estimated 40000000. 00 people worldwide are living in slavery more than 24000000. 00 are trapped in forced labor and a quarter of the total 10000000 are children. According to the rights group book Free Foundation britain is home to at least 136000 more than slaves as one of her last acts as Prime Minister to resign may is promising to bring it to an end no leader worthy of the name could look the other way while men women and children are held against their will forced to work for a pittance or no pay at all routinely beaten raped and tortured. Those of us who can speak out who have a platform from which to be heard have a juicy a moral duty to raise our voices on their behalf. It took British Police and the Crown Prosecution Service nearly 4 years to bring this case to trial and although often modern slavery investigations are under way activists say the focus needs to be more on protecting victims and marriage choudhry from inside story. Lets bring in our guests who are all joining us from London Detective superintendent phil bryant is the head of the modern slavery and kidnap unit at the metropolitan police joining us james is the executive director of the Advocacy Group freedom united and toby cadman is an International Human rights lawyer welcome to you all id like to begin with detective superintendent phil brewer quite rightly West Midlands police force a very proud of this operation its certainly a very significant operation just give us an idea of what type of scale of problem modern day slavery actually is its something thats much bigger than we perhaps realized before i think i understand. Depending on the context that you put it in and you know we talk about more slavery if you expand that exploitation whether thats reported this Case Highlights or one of the ever one of the many outbursts or facets of slavery its a significant issue and there are a lot of people do exports is making significant money out of their peoples misery i mean some of the reporting that ive read on this case was extraordinary these guys the people responsible were driving around in bentleys they had access to Bank Accounts and theres a lot of money involved what queer sort of numbers are we talking. Well maybe. The. Moments like seconds of drugs. Criminal so money that you can buy and you can see why you know one of the unique faxes of. Your commodity are human beings already use it and you can use a really different and i could continue to make significant amounts of cash lets bring in john a james here. When we say modern slavery what do we actually mean by that when its not whips and chains and people being shipped off in boats anymore is it oh absolutely and i think thats part of the problem what if avery is an umbrella term and encompasses in lots of different forms of extreme exploitation such as we saw in this case and the use of chains and rape is something that we often see in pitches when one of the safest described and illustrated that is actually far from the truth and i think thats a real failure of the anti Slavery Movement which is why the problem really thrives today because if we dont recognize and understand what it is that were dating with cases of force labor of debt bondage you know and then other forms such as domestic servant cheat and Sexual Exploitation then its not a surprise but its often overlooked and it takes a lot of work and effort to bring these cases to court so just to help us understand what modern day slavery might entail so were talking exploitation people in this particular case the West Midlands police broke open Bank Accounts been taken over by the exploiters that they were given very little money they were kept in rats infested houses. But thats just one part of it is that theres theres theres a lot more than that. You know those things are really indicators and they should be these are the kind of fines that make you want to look further and find out if it doesnt she meet the definition of forced labor for example which is one of the. Common forms of modern slavery and then well be looking for the fact that this work is given without being voluntarily voluntarily offered so there and through coercion with some sort of threat or punishment and this case is incredibly clear that all those aspects of forced labor were present clearly. And threatened through various means and the payment of the financial aspect is how they the slave holders how they actually benefited from that control and effective ownership of those people with the clear the trade is clearly global let me bring in toby cadman the head of your International Human rights lawyer what is the International Position here is there enough Corporation Going on between interpol the u. S. And the you all the members states to be able to tackle this or is everybody just simply discovering this now and not entirely sure what to do about it. Well i think that there are Law Enforcement agencies that are probably further along in dealing with this problem than other countries i think that the u. K. Is is very much advanced in the way that it is dealing with it but in terms of the list station to be used. In terms of the investigative powers that are used. Other countries its also going to highlight its just so who last week that there are very Serious Problems in spain with the with the fruit picking industry for example it doesnt sound like the traditional route for full slavery but it has been highlighted the Moroccan Women have been have been used in very much the same way as what were seeing in the case im talking about there is so i think there are countries that are rather ahead in terms of cross border cooperation cross the functions affectively you mention the u. N. But its important to note that the u. N. Doesnt have any criminal investigative capacity thats thats not the role of the United Nations it obviously highlights it as a human rights issue but it doesnt necessarily get involved where it. Actually best occasions and that falls on National Parties to do i think with many cases of this of this kind where you talk about cross border crimes that it is quite often the cooperation that breaks are between between different states regrettably we see there in many different order was crying. And because you know one of the i would say that because areas are one of the biggest problems with cases this current news is actually getting forward and is very Vulnerable People are used on communities very difficult to to penetrate some of those communities and it is set up in such a way that makes it very very difficult mortals them to crop investigate that sector superintendent phil railway your thoughts a lot its very difficult investigate these cases. Now i do agree with pretty much everything. And i think kate points and i mean the collaboration sickly across europe is really good and just to give you an example where they might say we have an embedded remain you know. And that has. Run a number of joint investigations were to remind us and the great thing about that side of chile means were not just the rich the end result we see that you. We actually have your pictured seats at this moment so how criminal networks prevent the victims from filling the void when we when we manage to find victims and rescue them from that scenario but it scale of this is they are already difficult you know for example some of the communities have ferry that we trust. They set up in a while she exploits is an exploit seed off from the same community and so you know to speak out against your community is effectively worse than actually trying so improve the situation that you find yourself in let me bring in john a you know james. Just talk us through the difficulties faced when you are when you have found these kinds of cases when youre trying to help these people not from a legal point of you know from a police point of view but from a from a perspective of can you help these people if they dont want to be helped if they dont want to be found. I think really one of the big areas helping people such as they is in this case and you can say and i think sample they organization and he uncovered the scale of this and trafficking ring spent years working with the community im sorry that with these victims to get access to them and i think thats a real suffice for a question of recognizing that this is a crime. And that people have a free right to freedom from slavery and this particular case i think its theres no question about the criminality of it however we see plenty of examples which are perhaps to some people less convincing and its on us to explain how controlling somebody in order to make game through exploiting them and coercing them is not ok and so our job is to explain how that actually manifests itself because there are lots of different ways in which this crime. Is yeast and which people find themselves unsavory and was the conditions that these were. Particularly a poor and and you know there was the levels of violence very extreme its not actually that unusual and we see in much more formal settings around the world. In supply chains or in private homes situations are really not that different so we need to one recognise that this is something that nobody should go through and to make sure that people feel that they have the protection necessary that going to the authorities isnt something thats going to. Cause a backlash against them and one of the big. Sure the least by exploiters is Immigration Law and so one of the tenders we have is to make sure that the protections are there so immigrate so that a victim does not become a criminal of them of an immigration offense that is kind of confident that theyll be recognized as a state as a victim and be treated as such to get the support they need to get out of that situation and to enjoy life after that situation where they can be rehabilitated and were saying that so many cases its still a massive challenge today so immigration or war until that can be used to be had then what are the International Tools that might be able to brought to bear on this problem are there things like legislation that could be passed other protocols that could be put in place that will allow this trade to stop but i think that. Will work when youre trying to sound the. Organized crime become increasingly transnational it becomes more more more difficult to to break the tyrant and target crime such as this. Do we think that the tools. To remove it no i dont think its its far too. Powerful and as far as money. To disney pretty terrible. I dont necessarily think its a question or a lack of legislation. Or decision to do both in terms of criminal prosecutions and in terms of cooperation between states through mutual assistance and through creating joint interest. Also between between stary theres also sufficient guidelines for tolls a little part of gratian so dont think its a question of creating more earthly controls or hearts. The existing Legal Framework which is already there and sufficient to proceed i think a lot of it as i said was down to 2. 00 to 3. 00 core problems one is going to speak out to is interacting. These communities and getting them to trust more important but also i think it is also its a question of being able to. To demonstrate a will to trust investigate and prosecute now because as we heard from the Secretive Group theres theres very clearly that desire to do that on the e. U. Level but there are also the states that are not confronting this go back to the case and i mean just because there is a case that were involved in and here you have numerous complaints being made you have victims coming forward there is a Legal Framework in spain to do with it and theyre not in the not investigating it there are 30 turning a blind art to that and there are allegations against your impulse in itself in spain that they are complicit in a lot of what is going on so i think that yes there is theres a question that you need to create greater awareness i think it is far bigger problem than most people would would readily admit it is it is a very serious problem and its getting worse and i think that the case that weve seen successful prosecution can have an impact on targeting this but it is largely going to end our great equilibration tween states. In transnational prosecutions and thats thats where i think what is lacking there is no regrettably there is no International Jurisdiction so to do with this level of into criminal courts all or equipment so the any International Jurisdiction you have is not really going to address the cool problem because thats thats Human Rights Awareness human rights monitoring thats thats thats not sending any deterrent message to these criminals that flourish by the lack of coordination the lack of accountability lets bring in. Detective superintendent phil bro ahead there are other issues its not just about International Law or trials that still and organized crime across borders. Which clearly is you know one of the drivers of this its a lucrative business but in your investigations it seems to me that there must be some sort of tacit cooperation between the people who are actually employing these gangmasters these i mean they must the people that employed these people. To get these people to get work in their fields for them its a bit convoluted i know but surely they must have known what they were getting into that you know big you cant get cheap labor without a cost somewhere surely. Yeah i mean it depends really on what we say you. Put it exists or simple categories we say direct exports i should absolutely employees must know i must be aware because it might be that im the gang mouse that. Something isnt right that. Well a lot of minimum wage that i have to be exploited but were also seeing. A rising trend in the number of people who pay its that they employed legitimately sarahs followers employers are aware they are paying the minimum wage will more money directed at Bank Accounts the fact sais in the backgrounds that hes exploiters are controlling those Bank Accounts and that is very very hard for any process in place to prevent you know without significant intrusive so were looking at how people live their lives and that doesnt necessarily sit with an employer it is a complex issue and one of the challenges we dont why is is that as we upped the ante in terms of lowered foresman activity within the same area exploited become book smart and start picking sites guards in place to prevent them being prosecuted joining us james is the employer is an issue for you the people who actually pay the guy lost is that something that you think is worth pursuing in order to try and change things well i mean i think we take facial me from an upright to this problem and i think it works very well even in this case and in the case of the life and a palace of describing elsewhere in the world and that is that you know it was there isnt a. Movement of people who understand and who share the idea that this sort of form of exploitation is not only busy unacceptable but should everything should be done to stop it and to make sure the. People whoever they are can live freely then its not going to happen when we heard about how the question around the spanish polices role in investigating well if theres no real will from society in general its not surprising theres no pressure on the police to investigate and we see a big change in the u. K. Where the awareness levels of racism if kony and the give space for and it is were in it is power and it means that we can move further more quickly because we know were looking for we still got a long way to go without a doubt but it is at every level of society i mean in this particular case we know that a paramedic visited the home we dont i understand when one of the workers died its reported that the the. The slaveholder say took the id out of this workers pocket so that he couldnt be identified but still by paramedics would have seen the conditions in which the person of the living now of course im not suggesting that paramedics or anybody else in society should be performing in the role of the Law Enforcement but these are all opportunities that could raise alarm bells and trigger an investigation process because as we know its very difficult to either. Expect everything or the responsibility to be the victim to come forward or the Law Enforcement to be able to access we think this needs to be a societal solution and so for that reason yes the employers have a liability to be sure that theyre doing everything that they can do to nt to check that the labor that goes into their supply chain is legitimate but also as a fighting all of us you know just need to be well educated what it is that were looking for and be clear about the fact that this isnt something that we accept in our society we are running short on time but i do want to ask a question to the detective superintendent phil brewer you heard there about the idea that you know members of society can help the people if they notice these patterns of behavior that might be linked to exploitation they can come forward they can they can do that however at that stage its too late isnt it where do we need to stop this at the border surely we need to stop this at the the International Criminal gang level thats where we should be is that where you should be concentrating your firepower as it were. I think theres a number of different fronts that we should be concentrated in order that salute you know with members of the proper excited so im so. To contact us or contact marcus like we have long suspicions theyre absolutely retracts on that but you know youre right this is this is a bigger this is bigger than that and so there is work that makes the government level to look at how when my complete will run when the 1st place and actually were collaborative to try and reduce the chances of someone trying to say i was in a situation where theyve been exploited and that is that isnt just police in a situation you know or not and i use a cliche that we cant place at wideout of martins life and as joanna say they sees this is a role for everyone in society where every walk of life whatever your role might be. Is actually working to get fixed traumatic a difference and that is the only way we will really make a difference. Or reducing the risk from the individuals that funds it was in these situations i want to thank all our guests detective superintendent phil barone joining us james and toby cadman and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting a web site i was there at dot com and for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com forward slash a.
