Welcome to hardtalk. Im stephen sackur. The long and bloody conflict in Northern Ireland was known euphemistically as the troubles. One aspect of it got a separate label the dirty war and that was the name given to the covert operations of the British State both army and intelligence infiltrating the ira, running informers and agents to undermine the Republican Movement from within. One agent was my guest today, willie carlin, who became an undercover spy within the political wing of the ira, sinn fein. Hes written a book exposing his secrets. How does he justify what he did . Willie carlin, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. It is actually quite extraordinary having you in the studio given you were an undercover spy in the 70s and the 80s at an extraordinarily dangerous, sensitive time in Northern Ireland and you then went in hiding, you lived in secret. Why have you now, later in life, decided to come out of the shadows . I think its because its time. You know, im 71 now.
Violence and organised Drug Trafficking and criminality. People deal drugs to make money. Money and drug dealing drive violence on our streets and often, that leads to murder. Criminals make around £5 billion a year by selling drugs. Its nearly all cash. And thatis a problem because they cant put millions in cash into the bank. That is where the money launderers come in.

Tonight, we expose how it fails. We have got hold of details of a Police Investigation which put 27 money launderers behind bars. Working with the french media company, premieres lignes, we have tracked the gangs dirty money around the world. The money trail starts with an airport cleaner, hassan, and a trip from france to london. Its 2013. Hassan been
Road map begins with the curse of the unicorn uber under pressure again. We have that softbank disaster after the funds wework debacle. Masa son saying his investment judgment was poor. Hp rallying ahead of the bell, the target of a potential takeover effort by xerox well start with uber. Shares facing more pressure after hitting an all time low yesterday. Company reports another billion dollars in losses as you know and the post ipo lockup period is expiring, freeing up a billion shares for trade the take among some is the shares are so underwater, maybe the expire doesnt mean as much. I dont buy that reasoning. I think that what matters on the conference call, they committed to losing money. Now they committed to making money in 2021. The patience level is lost here. I think this is one of those stocks where you say why do i need this, i can buy i can name ten other stocks and the kinds of stocks that are going up are value stocks, this is the ultimate of what youre not supposed to b
