Advancing. We have this update. This is russians we have this update. This is russians going we have this update. This is russians Going International shopping for more arms. We know that theyve already been taking International Delivery of drones from iran to use in the war in ukraine. And now theyre leaderboarding for extra Artillery Shells and miss aisles from north korea. Its not the first time that missiles and shells have gone from north korea to russia, but they were imported previously by the wagner group before the demiles of yevgeny prigozhin. Demise. This will be a high level meeting between President Putin and president kim jong un. They have met before in the Eastern Port Of Vladistock in 2019, and its thought that perhaps, that may be the place where theyll meet again in the coming month. The americans have warned that the negotiations are actively advancing and also said that they will pursue this at the united nations, because there are countless, Countless Security Council resolutions and sanctions against north korea that means that they shouldnt be doing this. The other thing to take away from this, i think, other thing to take away from this, ithink, is other thing to take away from this, i think, is that its a sign that perhaps russia, despite its military might, is running short of some of the things it needs on the battlefield. Here is whatjohn everard, British Ambassador to north korea between 2006 and 2008 makes out of kim jong un and putins plan to meet in russia to discuss weapons. Of course, the background is all about the possibility that north korea might supply russia with useful amounts of munition and other weapons for the war effort against ukraine. There have already been some north korean weapons on the battlefield. Curiously, some north korean munitions fell into ukrainian hands so turned on the russians rather than fired by them. But not very much. And its quite clear that i think that when defence minister shoigui visited pyongyang for the 70th Anniversary of the end of the korean war, that there were a lot of talks then about possible supplies. What we dont know is exactly how far those talks have gone. I suspect it will be a while before a deal is struck, because the north koreans know that the russians are desperate for these munitions, and the price that north korea will ask for them will be eye wateringly high. I spoke to edward wong, Diplomatic Correspondent for the New York Times and one of the journalists who broke the story and asked him what more he knows about kimjung uns planned visit to russia. Well, our sources have told us that one of the strong signs that one of the strong signs that emerged at this meeting would take place was an advanced team of north korean officials who travelled to vladistock and moscow in late august. And those included Security Officers who deal with the protocol surrounding travel of the leadership. So that was a strong sign for officials looking at this. And they conclued or theyve assessed since then that this meeting will likely take place in vladistock, and that kim jong un will likely take his private Armoured Train as he travels from pyongyang north. And he has taken that train before to vladistock. Notically, in that 2019 meeting that he just mentioned. That he ust mentioned. Right, ust to that he just mentioned. Right, just to get that he just mentioned. Right, just to get a that he just mentioned. Right, just to get a little that he just mentioned. Right, just to get a little more just to get a little more perspective on what this meeting means, militarily. What could the two countries offer each other that they havent already . Each other that they havent alread . ~ ,. , each other that they havent alread . ~ ,. ,. , already . Well, russia really needs more already . Well, russia really needs more artillery needs more artillery ammunition. Both ukraine and russia have been firing off many, many rounds of Artillery Shells at each other. Both countries are running low. And russia needs more of that from north korea. Its hoping that north korea. Its hoping that north korea. Its hoping that north korea will agree to send useful amounts of artillery ammunition. North korea our sources tell us that north korea might be seeking advanced technology from russia to help it with its satellite programme. And a Nuclear Powered submarine programme. Also, north korea is one of the poorest countries in the word. It often goes through bouts of mass hunger, and it is seeking food aid from russia, too. Hour food aid from russia, too. How concerned food aid from russia, too. How concerned do food aid from russia, too. How concerned do you food aid from russia, too. How concerned do you think, food aid from russia, too. How concerned do you think, edward, the us and nato will be about this meeting . I the us and nato will be about this meeting . The us and nato will be about this meeting . I think they will be fairly concerned. This meeting . I think they will be fairly concerned. Part this meeting . I think they will be fairly concerned. Part of i be fairly concerned. Part of president bidens strategy, as well as that of his allies and partners, is to really isolate russia to cut it off from other countries around the world economically, diplomatically, militarily. And any country that seeks to provide aid really deals a blow to those efforts. Weve seen several countries do that. I mean, north korea, as weve mentioned here, has provided some aid. Iran has. Maybe, iran might be the most notable country in terms of providing military aid so far. And russia has reached out to china, according to us officials, to get military aid from china, though china has not given any substantial aid so far, american officials tell us. So if north korea were to start giving substantial military aid, then that would really be aid, then that would really be a blow to the strategy of trying to really isolate russia. And part of the tactic that this administration had used in the past was to leak intelligence on possible co operation between russia and other partner nations in order to put that out there in the public, and then disuade other countries from doing so. Meanwhile, turkeys president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been holding talks with russian President Putin about reaching a deal to allow ships safe passage through the black sea. He said hes optimistic that a workable agreement will be reached and there would soon be an important announcement. However, Vladimir Putin dismissed the turkish plans claiming that an agreement promising to remove obstacles had not been honoured. Translation this happens with the western partners. They deceived us once again by again doing nothing. Thats all. Now, we say that were not against this deal. Were just ready to return to it immediately, as soon as the promises given to us are fulfilled. Our correspondent paul adams in kyiv explains some of the reasons blocking the deal. For several weeks, russia has been attacking ukraines river danube ports, in an attempt from ukraine using those ports, those facilities, to export their grain. Because the black Sea Grain Initiative brokered by the un and turkey last year is still on hold after russia withdrew injuly, ukraine is looking for other ways to get its grain out, and moving down the danube and around the corner to romania is the most viable route. Thats why russia has been trying to target that. In the last set of attacks last night, a number of drones were fired. They landed on those ukrainian towns along the river danube. But to ukraine, one or more of them landed on the other side of the river inside romania. And this has led to a bit of a war of words throughout the day, because ukraine says it has photographic evidence of what happened. But romania is saying nothing of the sort happened at all, and that there was no threat to Romanian Land or territorial waters. So, theres a contradiction there. I would suggest that perhaps viewers might want to remember what happened last november when the ukrainians claimed that a Russian Missile had fallen on polish territory. It turned out after that episode to be a Ukrainian AirDefence Missile that went astray. We do not know exactly what the evidence suggests in this case. The bbc has seen the photographic evidence and we consider it to be inconclusive. So, clearly, that needs to be cleared up, because at the moment, the ukrainians are saying one thing. The romanians are saying another. And, of course, if a russian projectile of any kind landed inside romania, that would represent a russian attack on a nato member. Well be tracking that story closely. Meanwhile, a worrying development as the world faces rapid increases in the Cost Of Living. That is an increase in the number of children forced into commercial Sexual Exploitation or other harmful forms of work. The International Labour organisation estimates one opinion Seven Million children are involved in the practices. Commercial Sexual Exploitation is a murky issue with many countries having no publicly available database for the available data base for the illegal activity. Available database for the illegalactivity. Kenya available database for the illegal activity. Kenya is one such nation. It has been identifieded by the Us State Department as both a source, a Transit Country and a destination for the crime. One recent study estimated that more than 2,400 children were subject to Sexual Exploitation in two regions bordering the port city of mombasa. And this week, bbc news is bringing you a special series on the impact of the Cost Of Living crisis on children around the world. Our first report comes from our correspondent in nairobi. And we should warn you you may find some of the details distressing. In mombasa, life is hard for those on the margins. But tough Economic Times are making it even harder, forcing some parents to take painful decisions. This mother washes clothes a few times a week to support her three children. She doesnt want us to use her name. The money for school fees quickly runs out. Theres barely enough for food. So her daughter has to find work. Shes started selling her body. Shes started selling her body. Shes 14 years old. Translation as a parent, its not easy to tell a child to do Something Like that. I would like her to go to school like other children. But because i dont have any means, shes forced to do thatjob. My heart is broken and i dont want it to continue. Is broken and i dont want it to continue. Shes not the only one. To continue.

These children were abused, abandoned or trafficked. Some forced into the sex trade. Rescue centres are struggling to meet the growing needs. Everyone wants to survive. Theyve been giving away their children for exchange of money. And has it always been that way, or is it more so now . Now, its more way, or is it more so now . Now, its more so.

Thats the chant at protests against rising prices and higher taxes. Theres anger and higher taxes. Theres anger and frustration across the country. Its the poorest kenyans who have been hit the hardest. And in mombasa, they can tap into a thriving business. Mombasa has long been a well known hub for child sex tourism. But covid and the increasingly harsh Cost Of Living have Helped Push The Sex Trade online and further underground, drawing even more children into the industry. Kenyan police are fighting back against the dark trade in child sex. They track down suspects using cyber tips from a database in the united states. Then, Search Phones and computer drives for explicit material about children. Up against an economy of depravity that feeds on desperation. This woman is in charge of the unit. She says theres no data on whether the recent Cost Of Living crisis has driven more children into the sex trade. But her team has begun monitoring it. {131 but her team has begun monitoring it. Of course, of course monitoring it. Of course, of course it monitoring it. Of course, of course. It is monitoring it. Of course, of course. It is a monitoring it. Of course, of course.
