Letting it stop him from the family history. Hello im kristie wonder why its good to have your company refugees and people who have been displaced because of conflicts say theyre struggling to feed their families and keep roofs over their Heads Research by the Norwegian Refugee Council found that these communities have suffered widespread loss of income since the and they are it started now the findings are based on as survey off about 1400. 00 people to fix it by conflicts at displacement in 8 countries kenya and uganda are among them now about 80 percent off respondents say that they had lost a job or income from work either temporarily or permanently since march. And im now joined by tom pate acosta from the no legion Refugee Council he is the spokesperson for the west African RegionalOffice Welcome to d. W. News africa tom im there was a conversation about what happened when called 900 cases were reported in refugee camps because of been Living Conditions at these and some of the camps what did your report find about how camps in africa have coach you know youre right now imagine when the when the pentagon and thought it ripped the g. And displacement camps are full of weve already overcrowded and people are leaving here very little access to water and sanitation and so we were really concerned about the situation once the coby strikes because we asked people in europe to wash their hands that people think im going to have enough water to drink so that was our 1st concern and now we have a new report coming out that shows evidence that the social Economic Impact of coping 19 people stating the Health Impact basically most of the displaced people more than 3 quarters of luck income and then are and are now to being in to hunger homelessness. And education crisis right and you i guess speaking to what would have been my next question to you just how many more people in africa have become refugees or have been displaced because of the pandemic. So the calling 900 pandemic is exacerbating already existing crisis right but its true that since the pending the pandemic came it had a derrick impact on evictions because i say that displaced people dont have income anymore and im facing eviction thats one main reason for more displacement now there are also a combination of factors enough because right now we have increasing violence we have the call that one can find an impact and we are also insufficient rainfall for example in breaking the fast so where now we have reached more than 1000000 people displaced and about 2000000 of them are facing Food Insecurity this is an increase of more than 213 percent compared to last year. Tom i dont know people in africa rely on family members who live in baltic countries and this is the same too for people who are affected by conflict and ought to spank you will your report has a section on remittances tell us about that absolutely so this socio Economic Impact of the pandemic is affecting people everywhere in the world right so weve seen a drop in support from the us for a but the thing is enough because. The displaced people are heavily reliant on the local economy and this local economy right now is that the closer of markets the restriction of movement and the 1st products so people are highly relying on more than money transferred from their families a boat and now we are seeing more than 23 percent drop in the transfer of money so they dont have any support anymore. All right tom the government and International Finance institutions one of them would have announced hes a massive stimulus packages as a response to the Economic Impact will some of this money help refugees and displaced people just basically. And 40 and 40 if you know everything why we really need g 20 and International Financial institutions to increase you really. Should explain be going to the affected people into korean 1000. 00 responses we perfectly understand that these countries would need to support their own economy but the money that is not being received in africa are more than thieving jobs would actually save lives all right thats john perry costa from the no beach at Refugee Council thank you john. Thank. You nigeria has promised to help flood hit farm is in the real estate off k. P. It said it will provide seedlings and at the agricultural age to get fields reprinted as soon as possible so that what is in the states has slipped away vantages and destroyed crops including hundreds of thousands of hectares off rice fields now the government is worry that the loss off rice crops puts the whole nations Food Security at risk but for the moment the floodwaters show no sign off receding.

It was the biggest night in television. This years emmy awards presented a big huge technical challenge of bringing together nominees virtually from around the globe take a look at the big winner. And well have to the countryside near berlin for germanys most be sure Film Festival. Welcomes arts and culture one effect of covered 19 has been people staying home watching more series than ever before at this years emmy awards Host Jimmy Kimmel highlighted just how much people have really relied on entertainment to get them through the pandemic and in the midst of the virus and several other crises in the United States he said that fun right now was exactly what people needed. Oh hello and welcome to the pandemic. At 1st it looked like any awards ceremony but it soon became clear there was some technical trickery going on and no audience but more than 100 stars joining from home on live internet feeds it was a big challenge but everything went smoothly. Did you ever think i could do it. On. The top job the h. B. O. Series success in school would be quinns across the drama categories with its star Jeremy Strong named best actor. In the bar the night we asked me about the moment i fell in love with. This is the movie but the most awards went to the watchmen an adaptation of a superhero graphic novel tackling racism in america. My perception of time yeah i get it this series took 11 awards in total including regina king for past actress reminded us that its not only awards season in the us could also election season got a vote i would be remiss not to mention that being a part of the show is person is watching and how the voting play and go to ballot pedia dot com vote up the ballot please when its time to lay down you know where i had the all fired cup 3rd and saved partially renovated rose. Stanek sheets creek swept the comedy awards with 9 prices breaking the emmys wreck or for most wins in a single season for comedy. But this shows the fact daniel levy was more political than comical in his acceptance speech as you know as well our show here at its core is about the transformational effects of love and acceptance and that is something that we need more of now than weve ever needed before and i just wanted to say for any of you who have not registered to vote please do so this year is emmys was hailed for its many nominees of people of color. One of them 24 year old scindia also became the youngest we know of best actress in a drama for her role in the series euphoria. Nobody is micah kruger is here with me michael lets talk a little bit more about this years i mean its almost like politics and the pandemic were the real stars here what do you think yes absolutely the damn reason as jimmy kimmel that was said and what i really liked was they took the problem not being able to good use a big live show event and turn it into a challenge and in this digital life of version all the nominated stoss with free to choose how and. They present themselves and there was no record no dress code and of course in the end this was a rock n roll and my you know him. Producing way for their big funny look at this picture and i dont know if i would like to see this next year as well but this year it had its own charm absolutely so the pandemic clearly changed the Award Ceremony this year do you think it had any impact on which shows 1 may be in the way. You know because the biggest winner with the serious watchmen and this is something it demands really your undivided attention and maybe you have time for Something Like that in a lockdown. For people who thought game of thrones is already very very Computer Company it dont even try to watch this. The plot is about retired superheroes who fight against a conspiracy every character has its own very complicated dollie it also johns tying. Real historical. Attorney to reality its about politics its about racism the viewer has to Pay Attention actually he really would like to have a book with all explanations ok so that was the big winner of the night i want to talk about a completely different show netflix show an orthodox this is what people here in germany are talking about a lot because the director who won an emmy for it is a big deal german actress mother yosh father was just there yes just take a look quick look at that absolutely the emmy goes to. Trotter on orthodoxy. Maria shriver wins the emmy for outstanding directing for a limited series for her work on. Hopes. That director went to Brooklyn New York to research this. Story of a young woman who lives in what are you. In an Ultra Orthodox Jewish community. Bestie flees the confines of an arranged marriage and heads to berlin to start a new life. Seemed genuinely surprised to pick up the coveted award. So. Its been so incredibly well ready these past few months and weve all been in the lockdown in. Our show travelling the world and then nominated for the emmys already felt like a carnation and now. Im. Ok no white audience so you can sort of really feel heard. So shes not a big name outside germany necessarily who is this most obviously a woman who is incredibly busy right now the International Scene maybe knows have better as an actress. What winning to be precise for example in the german movie annie and jagger was. Doing well but that was in 1999 and shes playing also one of the leading roles and a german serious cult. So 8386 and now coming up it was. A denying one of the chief of the east German Spy Agency what a role you know her series an orthodox which just won the emmy or she just won the emmy for loosely based on the true story of an Orthodox Jewish woman who weve sort Community Comes to berlin why do you think that the show has such wide appeal maybe not just because of bullying. Because the story is about a young woman and shes trying to break out and break out of a strict religious world and this case its. Also docs Jewish Community and yeah maybe this scene of breaking out is something many people can identify with more universal ok thanks so much for coming on the show Micah Krueger thank you david.

From sanctioning belarus over its crackdown on protesters while unanimous decision is needed for punitive measures on president look i shant go in those behind the jailing alleged abuse of antigovernment protesters also coming up. Gender inequality remains the greatest single challenge to human rights and on the. Climate come let me keep. Biodiversity collapsing the United Nations secretary general opens a fraught 75th the General AssemblyWorld Leaders including President Trump staying away. Thank you so much for your Company EveryoneEuropean UnionForeign Ministers have failed to agree a package of sanctions against belarus officials well thats because Member States cypress veto to move while the bloc had identified 40 officials it blames for violence against antigovernment protesters for and 4 electoral fraud during last months president ial election while i was out of eggs out by the russian Opposition Leader made an impassioned plea you have before you lawmakers to act the sanctions deadlock means a final decision is now up to National Leaders at an east summit later this week lets get you more with the barber of a solution in brussels for you and it calmly is minsk i want to start with you barbara 1st of all cyprus so one member state has blocked sanctions against bellary why and why is it playing such an outsized role. The problem is european from policy is that sanctions have to be taken unanimously and cyprus is blocking this because it feels there is leverage here they want sanctions they want a parallel process for sanctions against turkey because of the gas and oil drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean that cyprus strongly opposes and so its making that linkage and while less what cyprus is doing is blackmailing the e. U. Theyre telling the other countries ok we may be small we may be at the very southern end of the European Union but we still have the power in this case to sort of block everything you want if you dont give us what we feel we need the e. U. Has been in this position before but at the moment this is particularly difficult because you Foreign Ministers have been talking about sanctions against us since the protests there started since the elections were held and that were then immediately called illegal and unfair by the European Union so this is more than 6 weeks theyre talking about this and theyre not acting because they cant and you head diplomat people relish spaniard form of Spanish Foreign minister he said he had now made this was his personal crusade that he would do everything that the e. U. Could still get there it will be discussed again at the summit this thursday and friday in brussels nick want to go to you in minsk i mean this is kind of a setback but im just wondering how significant is you in action when it comes to those activists who are trying to make the case against the current leadership. Definitely a lot of. The Political Class position the position of all countries countries that is a haven for illegal black money coming from russia and ukraine a place where that money is was. Sold to Country Nationals the country putting the brakes on these sanctions having said that i think this is more embarrassing for the e. U. In the use of self confidence and self image than it is a problem for the protest is here. To show support today. One of the Opposition Leaders who is still in the country will be behind she had. And most of us were there to support her. Family weve seen other. Attempts to really show support for. The country given asylum in lithuania and poland is being given out in large numbers to support the opposition media. Any more so those are more practical things that you can do the people left on the ground and i think the diplomatic minute less of a detail one final kind of story i think the thing that really caught peoples attention was when i went to days ago she was really treated like a head of state. She was given the full on as i think that kind of those optics those are things that stick in peoples minds rather than the kind of political horse trading that is the kind of hallmarks of these kind of summits so calmly and that meant and he said these are these. Are yes i dont want to tell you about some of the other stories making news around the world. Mollies ruling a military junta has appointed former defense minister bondo as interim president to leave the country to new elections a coup last month overthrew president ibrahim go back or cato but the hunter has been under intense pressure from its west african neighbors to return power to civilians.

World leaders have been marking the 75th anniversary of the United Nations as the coronavirus pandemic poses big challenges to the organizations unity the u. N. Secretary general antonio terrorists called for more International Cooperation and multilateralism to curb covert 19 and face and wire mental challenges because of the pandemic the event is being held mostly virtually with many leaders delivering speeches by video well as the host nation the u. S. Gave the Opening Statement but u. S. President did not as previously scheduled appear in person heres what his u. N. Representative had to say. But the Trump Administration this anniversary is an important moment to mark the many successes of the United Nations but to do so with clear eyes and a renewed determination to see this important body serve its intended purpose. The 75th anniversary of the un is the right time to ask questions about the institution strengths and weaknesses review and learn from its failures and celebrate its accomplishments are less talk more about this cement as they were should have been a momentous day with a dubious chief International EditorRichard Walker richard to us conspicuous by absence has this ever happened before and what does it tell us you know they we didnt know about how the Top Administration feels about the way yeah i mean i dont compass already gone further than pretty much any previous president and hes open to criticism of the United Nations so this snub is not really asked of carrots but it is still very striking isnt it now he is due to speak at the opening of the general debate which starts tomorrow so well see if he shows up for that but even if he does show up and doesnt snub besss well. Then we can expect some pretty outspoken person to come from him. By the way i mean trump really does represent the sort of antithesis almost of the United Nations values you know the Global Cooperation with the rights of Climate Change all health you know pulled out of the paris climate agreement hes pulled out of the World Health Organization so nobody was expecting some sort of glowing tribute from him i guess we saw last year obviously a calling for more nationalism but now is very subdued anniversary of the the u. N. Now for the u. N. Rather before we continue our conversation richard about the growing cracks in the organization lets take a moment now to look back at how and why the International Body came to be 75 years ago. As the ravages of world war 2. The u. N. Charter was signed in 1945 by 50 founding members its aim to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war a Global Organization to help build a better weld. World the threat the probability of that terminate. There by. Rar i 75 years on every country in the world is represented in the un General Assembly. The organization has lost none of its relevance but it also faces unprecedented challenges in the 75th anniversary ear we face our own 945 moments we must meet that moment and we must show unity like never before to overcome todays emergency get the world moving and working and prospering again and up all the vision of the charter. That vision is to Work Together to bolster International Peace and security of a humanitarian assistance and protection rights. The un and its affiliated agencies have become indispensable in crisis situations. I see that but the work of the uns most powerful body the Security Council has come in for heavy criticism. The councils 5 permanent members other 2nd world was principal victors including china. Russia and the us. It manages the chain peacekeeping missions around the world but the council is often paralyzed by disagreement and features its often. On syria the most lethal and destabilizing conflict today it has failed to take any decisive action. Many have argued that these old structures need to be urgently reformed. And there are other big challenges the corona crisis has exacerbated geo political rivalries and put the uns health body the w. H. O. Under enormous pressure not least since the us pulled out of the World Health Organization in the midst of the pandemic. And there is fear that with growing nationalism in some countries support for the un and its mission may be fading Donald Trumps america 1st policy has seen the u. S. Traditionally the uns main driver turn its back on multilateralism the very principle the un was founded on. Richard and their origin story of the u. N. Very inspiring its mr statement very admirable but is it still relevant today yeah i mean if we do if we pick up on that so to save succeeding generations from this from this war so has it it seems that well 60 general good terrorists in his speech today pointed out and so hailed the fact that it was the longest ever that there hadnt been a military confrontation between major power. Hours but thats not much comfort if you are in syria right now i mean it or any of the other dozens of war zones that there have been over the decades so its quite clear that the United Nations has not managed to provides rules and. So does the president why is that well you know part of the problem many critics say is in the u. N. Security council which we just heard about in a report that the fact that it is deadlocked and it is structurally almost designed to become deadlocked because of the vetoes that the major powers hold. And it is that partly that is one reason why there was never any meaningful solution to the war in in syria because the u. S. And russia and china simply unable to see i see why theyre so that is why many countries are calling for reform of the u. N. Security council saying that needs to be enlarged at least be much more diverse. And that is however something that is incredibly hard to achieve because of the vested interests in that but having said all of that still if the u. N. Didnt exist it exists the world would probably never i dont think its going to controversial say the world would probably be in a much even worse place than it is now if it doesnt exist we would have to invent it because at least even the United NationsSecurity Council gives a forum for those major powers to remain in constant touch and thats important that is incredibly important chief International EditorRichard Walker thank you so much. Next the annual emmy awards the television the worlds a version of the oscars were handed out on sunday in a virtual ceremony hosted by jimmy kimmel for a male los angeles why h. B. O.

The end. And lots of data reveals the scale of dodgy cash flows the door to buying guns other global Financial Institutions the german lender called it old wine in new bottles but could this mean more trouble ahead for a band still reeling from pasta misdemeanors. Also coming up more roccos Tourism Industry takes a his coronavirus restrictions keep the visitor is away. And an economic balancing lithuania is taking a decisive stance against fellow ruffian strongman Alexander Lukashenko but it also hoping not to dominate all important business ties. Is business im Kate Ferguson thanks for joining me a huge day to leak has revealed the extent of dodgy cash flows at some of the worlds biggest Financial Institutions an investigation led by the International Consortium of investigative journalists reveals 2 trillion dollars worth of suspicious cash flow has made its way through the Financial System major banks including j. P. Morgan h. S. B. C. And most notably germanys biggest Lender Deutsche Bank are implicated as our next report shows is certainly no stranger to scandals. For years customers from russia and other former soviet states money into the western Financial System by had to watch a bank the socalled mirror trade scheme on ravelled in 2015 the bank later paid a settlement of more than 600000000. 00. George. Was found to have been engaging in a variety of suspect trades involving as much as 10000000000. 00. The bank didnt seem to be a victim they seem to be a participant in these mere trades back then dont have bank promise to clean up its act now u. S. Financial documents reveal that the bank itself estimated internally that this is vicious trades amounted to 16000000000. 00 and that it could have still been involved in the dealings until 2017 that is long after the scandal had come to light according to the u. S. Documents russian criminals and a money launderer for a terrorist group were among the customers involved theyre all believed to have laundered money at the Moscow Branch of Deutsche Bank a spokesman points out that the bank completely withdrew its Investment Business in russia and 2016 and has become a Different Bank altogether. Raised the ante Money Laundering department from 600 to more than 1500 people weve strengthened the systems and this is an ongoing process. A consequence of the failed control mechanisms prior to 2015 also in the internal Auditing Department christianes even was its head until the end of 2014 now hes dutch a bank c. E. O. His former Department Head audited the russian deals but never notice the suspicion is transactions but a later external investigation revealed serious shortcomings. The current chief executive did not sign off on it back then he also did not read it at that point in 2014 is there was no reason and no cause for him to do so. The bank does not view its current c. E. O. As responsible. For more on this im joined by alistair well man in london he has 2 decades worth of experience in banking regulation outs are welcome to the show youre the perfect person to speak to about this topic now Deutsche Bank is just one of several banks named in this stage to leak other thing today says. Morgan its a pretty damning indictment of the Global Financial system isnt it. Well you know 70 right that its an its effects the entire Financial Services industry i think that theres a general acceptance in the whole industry and also by regulators that the position in 5 and 7010 years ago was totally unacceptable and since then theres been a huge amount of investment certainly by a lot of the banks that have been fined a significant amount sometimes in the belly of these 70 by the u. S. Regulators and theres obviously still a lot of work to do i think its important with a leak like this to put it into context because what the public is seeing now is the you know workings of the relationship between the banks and regulators which is usually shut shrouded in secrecy and theres a good reason for that it gives the or thora sees the space to be able to investigate criminal wrongdoing and be able to do so without tipping off and notifying the participants in in what can be quite serious crimes that even stretch to things like terrorism so i think its important to bear in mind that these reports that have been filed by the banks indicate suspicions by the bank and often in a period where they didnt have the kind of controls that a lot of banks have a now so i think that all but one of the benefits that will come from this process is that regulators will obviously be examining their processes whether they investigate the reports that they get properly because it looks like this some reports where people were legitimately question why action hasnt been taken the banks will ask themselves you know have we actually invested or not because theres a lot of work going on and i think that it is a its a its a good time for banks to reexamine that but its important to bear in context that the context of this is that these are suspicions they were not reports filed when the banks actually generally speaking had concrete action in order to be able to take action themselves and how to pray faith you can i think that the only concrete consequences of the result of that lake. Yes i do i mean as i mentioned earlier i think the regulators will be looking at whether they have been as effective as they should be i think one of your guests earlier said that the regulators in the in the ante Money Laundering space have tended to be quite on the resource weve seen that in a number of financial scandals for example the one in in denmark then they will. Back well as a regulator and i think the regulators are taking actions to address that so its important that regulators do have the resources to be able to join the dots if you like because these reports that the banks final actually provide the information to the regulator in order to be able to pass to the authorities that investigate criminal misconduct Money Laundering and the like and the banks often dont have all the information themselves to be able to join those dots so if theyre filing reports and they all floridians are doing nothing about it its often the banks are not in a situation where the have enough information to be able to close an account and if they do they can face action by their client who may sue them so its really important that the regulators do actually act on the information that calls and in this shining a light on the process does anything that would be a good outcome we have to leave it there alice around and thank you so much fancy i know. Thats going to morocco now where the coronavirus have caused the country Tourism Industry to screech to a halt well from west actions have now been lifted operations there further waves of infection could pose a long term threat to a sector thats played a major role in driving crowd of the paths he asked.

Minutes firstly you know but one thing is clear it will be years before morocco has 10000000 tourists a year visiting again how it was before the pandemic hit. 9 to a story about seeing business and politics collide the way nia is among the countries thats been strongest in its condemnation of belarusians strongman Alexander Lukashenko is cracked open on opposition protests but the relationship is complicated as lithuania has a major stake in the bella routine economy its course is a gateway to minsk handling 40000000. 00 tons of Mineral Resources 1st alife there is containers now the unrest in bello ruth house the small baltic nation worried about the future of business.

Market share Business Owners that relationship bellows president Alexander Lukashenko needs clay but as well though the main reason for that is his countrys huge Oil Refineries which he visited just recently in august.

Within the e. U. Lift un year is one of those hardest critics and refuses to recognize the recent Election Results in belarus and theres levied sanctions against his party friends. But the notion of economic sanctions above and beyond isnt on the table. I cant imagine that our war would involve sanctions so on the other scholarly for example because the general sanctions vague. Arming not only those who are doing bad things but also generals aside and this is one of the western countries who have been trying to push so the e. U.
