In south korea and in japan the islands are controlled by so but claimed i took you. 2 states in the formerly communist germany are Holding Elections on sunday and the far right alternative for germany is expected to make big gains in bull one of the states is brandenburg which surrounds berlin as dominic came reports the fire rate is in contention to be the Single Largest Party there. On a warm summer evening in you even these people have come to hear from the far right after the speaker is and they are skull bits the partys lead candidate in brandenburg and according to german media a man linked to neo nazi groups he denies some but not all of the claims the f. D. A. Is popular in several areas of this state where unemployment remains higher than the National Average and towns like ligon have an aging population although the immigrant population here is tiny bits his message is uncompromising on than still are we demand criminal so called refugees who can eat imported must 1st be imprisoned one thing is clear integration means you adapt to the country it does not mean the country adapts to you. The f. T. s closest rival is the governing social Democrat Party whose vote share has been shrinking for years when silent of i in our state needs reliability cohesion and strong leadership i stand for that lets stand together to make sure our land stays in good hands in the future and polls show the race in brandenburg is very close perhaps nowhere more so than here sure and i say by barely a little commuter town of over 12000 people in mays european elections the top 5 parties were separated by less than 2 percent of the votes. Which explains why National Party leaders have come to press the flash the green partys annalyn a bell book being the latest to push for votes. Democracy survives on people talking to one another they argue and think wait maybe the other partners are the right and they say yes when energy is great length earned about the Health Consequences i would like to believe people go home and think about how we can address these problems together.

Iraq today those are your headlines the news continues here on aljazeera after people power well see you later. West africa is battling an opioid abuse trusts medicine such as tramadol legally prescribed by doctors from pain relief but taken into life threatening texts by millions and such from fakes already from. People in power has been to nigeria to investigate and of the drug smuggling trade and abuse widespread corruption that follows islamist traffic and the appalling Health Consequences for those in its grip. Ringback theyre going to stay in the midst of the worst drug addiction and family and its barely a week goes by without Spring International reports like these documents in americas opioid crisis. The u. S. Is not the only country facing such a predicament really. Lagos nigeria is africas largest city in the country with the biggest population on the continent over 200000000 people. The city is over crowded polluted and poverty stricken. And adding to its woes its suffering its own widescale and growing opioid addiction epidemic. I was abusing the list if you think this is used in the. Tramadol a lifesaving opioid painkiller is also being abused on a massive scale by all sectors of society a little too cool for for. This regulates of the other appeared painkillers like. A drug which has been implicated in more than 400000 deaths in the us since 2000 tramadol is less dangerous than oxycodone its no less addictive according to a new study by the mayo clinic a prestigious Us Medical Center the key findings our study which was looking at the effect of tramadol on long term dependence in patients from acute sort of pain was the patients who received tramadol actually to our surprise i did not have lower rates of long term opioid use but actually had slightly higher rates of going on to long term opioid use tramadol is currently a schedule for opioid versus other opioids like oxy caught on or schedule 2 meaning that the government considers those at higher risk of abuse and long term dependence we found is in fact really terminal is not actually any lower Interest Rate of abuse or long term dependence the epidemic isnt just confined to lagos its infected the into. Country. The United Nations drugs and crime. Released the results of nigerias illicit drug use. What we found is really of concern of grave concern when were talking about the nonmedical use of tramadol roughly almost 5000000 users over the past 12 months and the tendency appears to be rising poverty unemployment desperation of people and their living situations is one of the drivers a lot of people seem to be using it associated with hard manual labor with sex work for a sex worker. Eases her ability to submit to a clients more extreme demands she calls the drug street name. You. Know. Meaning. Something supposed to. Help. Him 50. 50. And if he would not have a. Look at that. And most other abuses by an illegal and highly dangerous version of the drug legally produced with illegal dos search has around 50 or 100 milligrams tap that is being used widely for pain therapy it is really for a large part of the population the only pain medication. When were talking about abuse great tramadol. Were talking about. Significantly over a. 100 milligram what we have seen in seizures up to 225 milligrams and what we have heard in the reports of drug use. People mentioned even up 2402500 taps. Spoke to us on condition we had. From a stable middle class family and works as the sheriff who want to see him in the ground. In the ground. Wants. To be each pull cost 300. 00. A pull thats more than double the strength of legally available. To much of. My friends. Its abuse of trauma go. Some of. The more. Because of drugs so where does this abuse tramadol come from from and all that is being produced both legally as well as that is produced specifically for the nonmedical use is being produced in. Officially or in. Torys it is reaching nigeria primarily by sea its entering through 2 major ports of lagos as well. This begs the question. Of nigeria how does it get so widely distributed across the country. To find out more we interviewed a lagos drug dealer he agreed to be film so long as we didnt show his face. His business consists of a. In a suitcase full of with legal drugs. The tramadol he keeps out of sight and not contain terminal is handed back and just heading to tom i dont know but sometimes the pocket determined. Most of his clients are young men. When the move because. Now just guys will be pushing. It also sells to women. Bang townland on the phone and then. When the waking staff were told you had to do cool foods to meet im selling time on the left sometimes thats wrong turn to the week a significant amount for a street below where we wanted to know does he get them from these people became us and us i mean come on talks to us in secret in did not knowing even though you dont know said the time of the 3 huntingdon unclear at this point he became wary and wouldnt tell us anything more about a supplier as we put this question to you n o d c we need to be very honest we know relatively little about the criminal networks that are being involved how well theyre organized how large they are. Theres about 7 or 8 different nationalities that ive been identified the other issue that suggests a certain level of sophistication is to mere size of the individual seizures some of these seizures allegedly are reaching several tons dozens of talls which really suggests like a relatively sophisticated process. To find out more about such seizures we arranged a visit to a pop nigerias largest and busiest port. In 2018 customs and other authorities seized 41 containers of illegal tramadol here. This quarter by an armed convoy of cars. Drug Law Enforcement officials thats what they came to show us today. Programme for. This. Is from. 2800. 00 seizures were a coup for the authorities the largest single seizure involved 33. 00 containers. They claimed 198000000000. 550000000. 00 u. S. Dollars. With such massive sums of money involved we want to know how many perpetrators had been brought to book. Many people who have imported. The. I can do speak for this time. The. Investigation is going on on once is concluded the prosecutor. But in the past they have been. Coming here what is wonderful for. The National Drug agency. Later told us that in the last 2 years only 5 people have been charged in relation to the seizures the prosecution is the still in process and to date no ones been convicted. We asked the commander about allegations of corruption at the port. Is not an issue because he walked in for like ts i dont think this issue. But the events which unfolded soon after seemed to indicate otherwise we phoned the customs official handing off a box of trial. To a port worker. Then we captured boxes of the drug being thrown over the fanes how did you finally as we were leaving the paperwork was arrested going to legibly for stealing tramadol we tried to film that to. Know what it was my statement. Of the words. Of the words why you tell me that the. Amount. Of the salt is all you will know it you know you will. Love this already but. It is not that big. Of. Customs did take it seriously foaming that is we were detained and pressured to delete our footage of the arrest. In the end though they let us go and official later confirmed that the arista poor work i had stolen the tramadol. At the ports of lagos are just the start of the problem next we travel to my degree in the north east of nigeria the city was once the headquarters of. The Islamic State franchise terrorizing this part of the country since 2009. The group
