B. O. Drama takes a lab in the emmys in a mostly virtual extravaganza well bring you the highlights. Im sumi so much going to its good to have you with us Foreign Ministers are meeting in brussels where they are trying to break a deadlock over imposing sanctions on bello were seen officials at president aleksander look at the block has a list of some 40 officials of blames for violence against antigovernment protests and electoral fraud during last months president ial election but cyprus is blocking up those sanctions because it wants measures to be taken against turkey. On a separate issue exiled better will see an Opposition Leader sped. Up the meeting in brussels she is trying to keep up the pressure on the International Community to take action and a short while ago she gave an impassioned plea on behalf of the bell of people. Beyond immediately and indeed in. The. In the. In the. Beginning to. Be able. To be the leaders. And just. You. Lets get more on the story now with our correspondents we have alex on the phenomena in brussels and Nick Connelly in minsk good to see you both alexandre lets start with you there as you were at that press conference where svetlana spoke what else did she have to say well i found it quite interesting how she described her meeting with the foreign minister saying that she has asked them for help that the opposition in miller was understands that there really needs help to change the facts on the ground she also told us that she believes that sanctions are very important because they can force the regime to listen to what the people of their own words has to say and in the end so she was very diplomatic describing this meeting but in the end shell also told us that her message to the e. U. Foreign minister was to tell them to be braver and to be bolder and that of course could be seen as an indication that maybe there are figures within the opposition who are becoming impatient and who really wants the rupee and union to to take action. Nic lets come to you know we hear there that the impassioned plea from. How is her meeting with you foreign minister is being seen there in minsk. What people are definitely following these talks in brussels and these sanctions plans i think the most the opposition as we have money going to that this is a bit its a question of too little too late this is a regime after all that is being under sanctions time and time again of the time and time again has set out those sanctions if there is a regime in europe that was prepared and had Hidden Assets abroad and made other arrangements i think it is about a russian one but i think at this point this is about the symbolism of the symbolism showed that europe is paying attention to whats going on here is following this i think the most important thing for people here was that europe has refused to recognize the results of that rejection that was the big deal this is now pushing details youre really doesnt have that much in the way of halt power as its inability to really put pressure on this regime but it is about the symbolism of showing support by the russians in the country and those that have left. As for the official reaction what we heard are going to furious rebuttal of these plans last week from the Foreign Ministry threatening to respond asymmetry and even to throw out foreign journalist aleksandr lets talk now about what pressure the e. U. Can exert here the German Foreign minister who has called for sanctions against president look i shant go himself so can we expect that actually to go through. Well actually that is what the foreign minister said after their last meeting in berlin a few weeks ago when they have announced that they are ready to go to the sanction list if the situation is not going to improve on the ground in belarus and if there is she continues to use violence against peaceful demonstration that wants traitors and thats of course what we still see in minsk in our cities in belarus however adding to the same list is one thing and agreeing on the list is another thing and the Foreign Ministers are still discussing the same sions with cyprus as you mentioned blocking the senate against the russian officials and trying to couple them with punitive measures against turkey so we hope at least that there will be or what we can expect is that the wool the end agreement but there are still discussing the sanctions and the discussions are still going on and of course this is as nick said the u. S. Credibility that is now putting into question as long as the Foreign Ministers cannot agree on the same sions start and nick i want to come back to you because this diplomatic debate comes off the back of another weekend of protests there where you are in minsk i mean how are demonstrators keeping the momentum going. Well that is getting serious the regime here is obviously happy to sit this out hoping that is some a tense winter people will simply give up but if you cant remember here these protests are costing the states huge amounts of money. Being paid to write police to keep the most states those resources are finite disputes are changing and youve seen those images we can weeks out of unarmed protesters coming out against police and the protests in having trying to those Police Forces literally and metaphorically weve seen people ripping off the Public Office ripping off the mosques and police often running away a strange thing to do. They really are convinced that what theyre doing is legitimate or even legal but in the metaphorical sense weve seen hackers loyal to the opposition hacking interior ministry databases releasing the names of Police Officers something that they obviously are very worried about weve seen activists post during the building the redemption complex where police live showing their neighbors what these people be getting up to that is Definite Development the government seems very worried about and one that seems to be promising quite a potential to put pressure back on the streets and the government in the weeks from. Our correspondents reporting for us nic connelly there in minsk aleksandr phenomena in brussels great to talk to you both through now to a banking scandal of gigantic proportions a cache of documents just revealed show that for years banks around the world have helped divert and conceal criminal funds the documents leaked from the Us Treasury Department appear to show how banks helped to circumvent International Sanctions including those against iran and syria danish and british banks as well as Germanys Deutsche Bank are among those implicated. All over the world criminals are using the Global Financial system to launder money its a dirty bit lucrative business for the banks. If a bank notices a suspicious transfer it has to report it to the authorities. Thousands of such reports were of time by bus made news. And then evaluated by the i. C. I. Jai. Its an International Network of investigative journalists. They have discovered evidence of Money Laundering worth 2. 00 trillion dollars. You can earn a lot by handling money from criminal sources. Thats why its hard for banks to say no to criminal money. In germany dortch a bank has some explaining to do the countrys largest bank already had to pay millions in fines in 27. 00 tane after dorji dealings in russia. The investigation reveals that those illegal activities a much more extensive than previously thought russian criminals used torture banks Moscow Branch to loan to millions the current c o christian setting served as head of corporate order thing at the time he did not raise the alarm but subsequent external investigations deed Deutsche Bank says it is since toughened its internal controls and it denies that c. E. O. Saving did anything wrong it says he was unaware of the external probe. Yeah i know i know how it was she founded the unit that led these investigations is what were not paying it takes to what we have since been external investigations to this and at no stage could any responsibility be traced back to the head of the business to the consent of it and if i thought it was somebody to the conservatives who had i think just the investigation also shows that us President Donald Trump may have profited from dirty money all accounts from kazakstan allegedly bought apartments at the trump new york property with laundered money trumps Company Denies knowing who these customers were but they did make money from the transactions. The investigation shows the scale of the international Money Laundering efforts to curb it a floundering. Because regulators cant get to grips with highly sophisticated criminal networks. It is a massive scandal lets talk about it more now with our Business ReporterArthur Sullivan is with us here in our studio and do we have our correspondents shall see delaney over in frankfurt near the headquarters of Deutsche Bank great to have you both arthur lets start with you were talking about a massive scale here so many banks that are implicated what does this tell us about the Global Financial system you know the scam is huge since we know at the center of it is these 2000 or so suppose so called suspicious activity reports and these were these are reports detailing what banks suspect to be criminal activity in their accounts and so on so theres so much detail to pour through its 20 years of reports around 2 trillion dollars worth of transactions so so much stuff to come out and so much specific detail about some of these transactions what they tell us is something that on one level we already know about the Global Financial system bunks how for years facilitated Money Laundering and the socalled washing of dirty money not that its something that they necessarily want to do but its something that has been happening but what these reports show is the extent to which its been happening and in some specific examples shines a very very strong light on exactly the nature of some of those transactions and i guess why there are so potentially for so many people one of those banks is germanys biggest lender Deutsche Bank and chelsea i mean if we look at the numbers here it was involved in 60 percent of the leaked transactions i mean tell us more about that. So georgia being very much at the at the center of this scandal. For georgia bank this is obviously a blow up because theyve been embroiled in so many scandals over the past couple of years and theyve really been trying to move past it some of the details that have come out of this investigation were already known some of the Illicit Activity that have been involved in such as for helping evade sanctions against iran or for Money Laundering and russia those are things that Deutsche Bank has already been fined for but what weve learned today is that that for many of these things they continue to to carry on those activities after they had already been fined and as well as just these documents really just shed light on how lax really was for for its entire Money Laundering controls for example and russia where its Moscow Office was was under a lot of scrutiny for for Money Laundering they just have very few controls in place at all even the most basic ones like knowing who your clients are having an address for them they really didnt have any of that information so they definitely were turning a blind eye to. To these activities and thats really putting a lot more pressure on them today so what do you think this is going to mean for Deutsche Bank. It definitely opens up to more regulatory fines to more regulatory investigations Going Forward as i said they have paid some fines for these activities already but investigators likely will take another look at these reports and see if theres more to be done already is being investigated from by the department of justice and the United States for several Money Laundering complaints this could certainly play a role in that and it also does raise more pressure on the bank c. E. O. Christiane saving who was overseeing auditing at the time of some of these Money Laundering transactions and russia president has said that he wasnt really involved in that but critics say he should have taken a stronger approach to that so a lot of questions and we are seeing this certainly reflected in the stock price today its down about 6 percent so investors are clearly spooked by these new reports so arthur as we heard there Deutsche Bank is now under massive pressure again to clean house but who really is responsible is that the banks or the regulators who have also failed to do their job i mean ultimately simian is a little bit of both know its important to remember this information came directly from the banks they were obliged to file these reports of suspicious activity so they were largely aware of what was happening its not necessarily proof of criminal activity but when you see some of the cases broken down its quite clear that the banks had a very very good idea of what was going on and started as a moral question on them why has this been allowed to happen when theyre literally making money through fees off some of these multimillion and 1000000000. 00 transactions at the same time it is ultimately regulators and in the u. S. And elsewhere that are responsible so its a little bit of both i mean the banks really should be should be doing better on this and some banks do better than others as weve seen Deutsche Bank is doing particularly poorly or husband to keyboard in the past but ultimately its a little bit like the global talks question its up to regulators internationally to come together and governments to figure out a way to crack down the waters of global problem rather than one specific to any individual country well have to leave it there our business correspondents are there sullivan here in studio Chelsea Delaney for us in frankfurt thank you both very much. Lets take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world a plaque that antigovernment protesters and highland installed over the weekend has been removed and now the pack in bangkok declared that thailand belongs to the people students have been leading protests since july calling for reform of the monarchy and political system.
