How it welcome to the program. The kremlin, he is refusing to comment on claims by us officials that the north Korean Leader kim jump on is to hold talks on supplying russia with weapons for the ball and ukraine. The Us National Security council says negotiations between rossa and north korea actively advancing. The 2 nations had previously committed to close the military cooperation. North koreas minute tree might on full display just celebration in july smoking. The 3 in will around me is this. Russian defense minister said gave show a goose stood side by side with the north korean president to the parade in the capital p. O. Nan made a big show of noise. 3 is expanding nuclear program, but what russian needs is most simple munition notably, artillery shows an empty tank missiles, as many as they can get. E u officials estimate that russia has fired around 50000. 00. Hillary shells per day since inviting ukraine. International sanctions have limited most of those options to replenish it supplies and so it appears to have time to north korea p on young hold, significant quantities of munition. Although analysts are unsure about the quantity of it stockpiles. But north korea can also offer role materials, particularly i n o, which russia can use to ramp up its own production of shelves. Another question for ukraines western allies is what russia might give in exchange. In the immediate to him, food is a top priority for p on young years of cove. It looked downs and struggling sanctions. Have many north koreans. On the brink of famine, south korea suspects russia has offered to hold join to naval drills with china and north korea. America to the annual exercises held between south korea and the united states. But many also see a russia may offer advanced technologies that could be used to fit the pre own youngs nuclear program. A prospect that would violate over a dozen un sanctions. One of the adults because a is a fellow at the Royal United Services institute for defense and security studies. I asked to just how much we know about north koreas military industry. Thanks for having me. Um yeah, for such as you said, this is a prime. Youll issue when trying to study north korea the fact that it is a very close off country. So theres very little publicly available data for us to draw on just a little bit hard to truly quantifier falls higher than or 3 in military program capabilities. Production capacity, but what we do know is that north korea has historically been a prolific ex, corner of military goods, military technology. So 2 countries, i cant source it elsewhere. So countries that are under sanctions themselves are under arms and marcos so they come to north korea often times as a supplier of last resort. So north koreas exported small arms, but its also ex, sportage and maintenance services. Its export description studies for uh, for weapon systems as well as military personnel in the past to other countries. So i get the idea of sort of what, what the options are potentially on the table for um, for any agreement, for military transfers from north korea to russia. If there were to be any treatments of the little we know it sounds like put in is not going to be getting any new capability as such. Hes just replenishing supplies the numbers that he made. So his forces can keep doing what they already doing. Is that fair enough . I think its a little bit hard to um, to really know for sure, but i think youre probably right. I expect that was more pre in support would provide in this instance, would be to recliners like you said, production and really backfill production capability and skip ability that. Yeah, they just arent able to keep pace with in russia. Although there might be some, some materials that russia isnt producing, solves that are screwed to provide as well. Daria, what about north koreas apparent wishes to obtain, besides food advanced military technology . What exactly does king jungle wants . And what can russia deliver back . The other way . Thats going to make a difference to north gray is capabilities. Yeah, well, you mentioned the food fertilizer. Um oil uh will be no drip top of mind for county does the how do we have the sanction country so its very difficult to get anything into the country or they do manage to, to a sanction. But in terms of military transfers, i expect yes, more 3 or would be interested in procuring advanced capabilities. I know theres been some reporting over one confirmed of an interesting changing of Nuclear Propulsion submarine technology of satellite technology. So that might be on armstrong, in specialized nursery, has been known to cooperate with other jurisdictions to advance its missile capabilities as well was its your program. So i got those may not be things that are 3 im reviewing to obtain from russia. Very adults, dakota from the Royal United Services institute for defense and security studies. Thank you so much for your time. I will keep a say is it doesnt cover the trafficking ring, recruiting people to fight for russia and ukraine. The government in havana believes the organization signed up cubans living in russia as well as in the homeland cuba is a close ally of russia. But keep as Foreign Ministry stressed, it is not involved in the will and you cry it and the 30s, all working to dismantle the network. Well, so can mccloud, as an associate professor at the university of copenhagen and an independent expert to the you in working group on the use of miss murray. Its great to have you with us, dr. Mccloud. I want to stop and ask, but what is it that makes a particular country a target of recruits is looking for miss summers. This is a great question. Um, i kinda speak specifically about the situation in cuba, but what the, the you in working good for new use of merced mesa seen recently. And it was the last couple of years is an increase in what we call predatory recruitment. And thats where countries this are not necessarily involved and the conflicts are turning to other countries as a source of most of the range recruits. And weve seen this happening. I have 4 calls like to fact to countries like syria, for example. Were um, the comes to like russia and i took you have sort to, to, to create individuals from that country to sleep in places. Yes. Like you claim, but also in places like libya and theyre gonna look at the goals, they tend to go to cadillac. Why would anyone risk a life at to 5 in a rush and will its the, its, its, its hard to say why have individual which would choose to fight. But the working group has, has just published a report for the Human Rights Council on try to treat recruitment. And the information that we have received is that individuals who are living in a conflict affected country often have no other source of income. Theyre in a personal 0 economic circumstances. Unemployment is as high. It might be that the have a fighting experience because they live in a more more effective country. And so they, they see the, the, the opportunity to earn money as, as, as a, you know, as a, as a solution to, to the, their Socio Economic problems. But we also have information that people are being explosive. The people are being forced to put under duress to become mercers. We certainly have information coming to go to syria, that that is the, that is the case. So we see that the threats are being made against them, against their families. Theyre being induced by things, not just money, but also by the promises of citizenship for the country. But theyre, theyre being in there. Theres lots of Different Reasons why people will turn to turn to flight se weve also seen in the context of ukraine, the, the russia, and through the group increases prisoners from from russian prison prisons. And again, you have the, this, this to fold approach. Some of them were doing it willingly in return for getting their, their sentences adventures. But there was we also received information, but some were being, were being forced and coerced into interest into financing. So there are lots of complex reasons behind why somebody will go and fight in and on conflict and intensive reliability on the russian side. Then how reliable are these missing . Res funding for russia is the system of recruitment in the plane and working for the russian military. Well, the, what we saw with the prisoners who had been recruited to flights on the russian side for a wagner in the conflict. And you were creating the information that we have is that they are very poorly trained. They dont have access to, to the, its a good, a weapons under their essentially common folder. Theyre being present as the 1st line of, of attack in, in the, in the conflict. And so the, the casualty rates are extremely high for, for people who have been present in this fashion. And so it says here is a, as a, as a, as a means of function that theyre, theyre probably not especially effective. So can mccloud, are you an expert on the use of mass . Maurice, thank you so much for your time today. Thank you. All right, lets have a look now. Some of the other stories making news around the world to sell.

When they did police asia pacific, a bureau chief killed mattresses in chicago, we asked him earlier if we can expect to see any progress on the crisis in man.

And the championship of, of, as the on over the past, the 9 month president ial could be total made clear that there were 145. 00 engagement with 70 stakeholders.

We call the coast to god when that happens, unless people, yukon with cause it is also a lot of the staff people just like us to be 799 with this time on how to you. Most of the people who tried to cross the mediterranean to get to europe said all from this region more than 2000 people are known to have died in the attempt. Sometimes local authorities have trouble collecting all the bodies that wash up on the beach. Along the coast, thousands of people wait for their place on a boat so, so its suddenly just from booking a file so he knows how dangerous it is. But says hes determined to try to get to europe. He says hes good repairing electrical appliances. Seems fishy. My only hope is to get across the sea to your well, im doing everything for my mom, be the so i wanted her to be a bit happy for the 1st time in her life. In boot point.

My name of the people control the whole beach area. Okay, so i know some of our guys have direct connections with the Retail Security forces. Im what does that be . The, the, the, some of the best that they will tell us when its safe for a crossing. Is we pay up to 10000. 00 euros for the service, but if you have, what is it you dont lose the middle. So sued doesnt care who profits from his trip. He still has to earn a few 100 zeros with all the jobs and sucks. Then theyll have enough to get on a boat and take his chances want to talk some more about this way, joins 5. Michelle puts a professor in global studies at rest guilty university in denmark. Good to see you again. The are paying Commission President of the funded line has promised 1000000000 euros to 5 legal migration. What type of impact do you think that will have .

See, because this is actually country to a very recent euros status report, which for instance, shows very clearly that the working gauge population in the home of the e. U is actually declining.
