Of the drop originates calls for an international and task force and take down the supply chain. The article for a link to our viewers on p b. S. And the united states. And all of you joining from around the world. Welcome. Its good to have you with us, the russian opposition leader. Ill explain, the phone has been laid to rest and los go, the fiercest critic of president s, lot of input and died 2 weeks ago in a remote arctic penal colony. Thousands gathered outside the church where his funeral was held in defiance of a heavy police presence. And warning from the kremlin one human rights groups, as at least 67 people have been arrested. A nation wide tribute. Crowds of moon is shaunte. Russia will be free as a cue outside the church and must go with the funeral of the next sandeval name was held onto corruption campaign. A few months galvanized huge protests against the russian government. Also, bruce thousands to the streets of to his desk to bid him farewell. Despite the Police Blockade and the risk of arrest or Something Like 10000 people here. No one is a freight. We came here because we want to honor the memory of the person who is not scared of anything else. And we also have many of those here. Its just important to see people who agree that what happened is terrible and that there are a lot of people who think this will start. Shes gone to traditional public burials and the criminal and against what they called protests taking place outside the church. Inside the church, alexys family and friends pay. The final respects the the full of the coffin was transported to a cemetery near the banks of the most clouded river where his parents said good bye to this on the nevada and these wife, julia novelle. Naya was not present at the funeral, she is living outside of russia, saying she could be arrested if she returns the. She posted half a well to has been dont social media, sign king him for 26 years of happiness. And she has vowed to continue her husbands work so that we use russia. Analysts, konstantin, god told me hes not surprised that. So we need to find the authorities to say their goodbyes. Turn up on me then because they do in the end its a funeral. And basically the fact that several dozen people who are arrested according to jims right rights group, so really shows that this was not your regular funeral. Of course, they didnt want the show of solidarity without except his family. And of course they golf, but they go up, i mean its must go, its nobodys heartland, thats where people of all the most politicize and where there is a huge but at least a significant lets say layer rebut position to boot. And so, to me, there was no surprise in the turn out. And uh, frankly speaking, these people are great because anyone went there good to risk the risk, a rest of it completely trumped up and fig charges. So yes, i mean, kudos to that. Kudos to them all people outside russia and allow me was the face of the anti food and opposition housing. Molly, configure izzy along the russian public. Lets look the russian public thats was inside put and then still continues to be this minority. Uh, they of course knew about the green with whom there are other leaders and what position including an x r a box. Definitely. The fact that she was in russia attracted a huge attention to him and he was one of the, i would say, 12 to 3 Political Prisoners that were influenced hands. So in a sense, i think theres those who dislike, but they always acknowledged his bravery. But of course, the zip the wifes ways of Public Opinion and russia, which believes the criminal propaganda, and believes that in a while it was the c i a agent or whatever the crime and tells about him. So i lost a lot. Every one in refresher was taken by his energy and his messages. Now, long as widow lives outside russia and didnt attend the funeral today, shes bound to continue her husbands 5. What role do you think she could play Going Forward as well . It depends on how she proceeds. Shes a different person. She kept always slightly so to be the shadow of alexi and the she has to become a her own for own self, their own political. So i think thats what weve seen so far. Points to the fact that i like see who might happen to know 1st of the 2 was correct to say that shes probably more ready to go. When hes in a position to putting a bunch of calls. It means that she will have to recreate his team to boosted to find her a messages in her own image. And dest is a big task for her. If she succeeds, the im absolutely said to bose a danger to boot and even from from the outside, even from eggs on it, thats constantly. I got always a pleasure to get your insights.

His claim is that germany is violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1949 Geneva Convention on the laws of war in the occupied palestinian territories. Orders in iran and for the electing a new parliament and powerful religious body called the assembly of experts to run to political establishment. The elections are attached to public sentiment following a social uprising in 20222023. The last parliamentary elections 4 years ago saw the smallest vote since the 1979 is monogram lucian. All around is suffering and economic crisis and has been rocked by nationwide Anti Government protests. The signs are everywhere and the messaging is clear. Iran has been scrambling to boost voter turnout ahead of fridays election. Its introducing electronic voting and several cities. And the number of female candidates vying for a seat is more than double what it was in the last Parliament Re election in 2020. But the governments efforts appear to be falling on deaf ears myself by presently i will not take part in the selection without this because the results of the last 2 elections would not good to you on this group novel. The biggest problem with the election is the peoples lack of trust in parliament. Of political distrust and an ailing economy have helped fuel voter apathy. Although the elections are seen as a crucial barometer for legitimacy. The governments own surveys show participation will be well below 50 percent. Fridays vote includes polls for members of parliament, and the assembly of experts will have the power to appoint, runs Supreme Leader. The country system of pre approve and candidates has led to mass disqualifications. And the removal of true choice, according to critics of the current hard line government. Yet no, you dont even know. Yeah into how about body time. The word election is completely meaningless. It should be called an anti election or non election road, in the good bottom of the election is rejected by the people and these lumnick republic, and you dont sell it to them about doing that for sure. The memory of mazda many is also casting a long shadow over this years boat. The 22 year old curtis iranian died after she was taken into Police Custody for allegedly violating the as lubbock dress code that led to wave of mass protests against the hid job law and other social issues in 2022. The movement was violently crushed by authorities, but the demands for change and an end to these womic republics rule injure alief want to lay on the job is a, during the reading, political scientist who has the center for middle east and global order thing tank here in berlin and he told us how arrangements feel about these elections. Its, i think it is quite clear even for the resume itself that uh for these elections. There is not much enthusiasm, quite on the country. We can expect the repetition of the last 2 major elections in around, over the last few years for the parliament of the presidency, which already saw a historic, low voter turnout. So this time around, we can also expect the same even probably even lower. Because that leaves even redeem legitimacy has been full for the eroding also in the wake of the National Uprisings that you mentioned earlier. So what we actually can expect, in fact, is that there was im gonna proclaim a fake voter turnout without doing much to legitimize them. No, well, i dont believe so because the disillusionment is quite vast and youre wrong. Its quite widespread. Theres also no illusion among iranians that those elections are, you know, going to leads to some change. So everyone is well aware of that. So its quite farcical this so what were going to see is, you know, basically the social base of the regime, were going to go to the bottom of the boxes. And this says social base of the resume is also being quite eroding. So basically basically were talking about 10 to 15 percent of the population v. There are the logically or it can only lead or somehow attached to the some of the public up youre wrong. So basically, its a contestation within a very, a smaller part of your honest society, those who benefit from the regime and are the logically very committed, especially to the Supreme Leader of the san republic. Uh, as youve mentioned, the protests of 20222023. I want to know from you how has this uprising this movement played into the road and the campaigning ahead of it as well. It does definitely play into resume calculations. Thats for a months now. Theyve been very worried about the reputation of a historically low voter turnout. So, before, over the last few months, weve seen quite to lots of agitation by reaching the officials and for the i took media packaging iranians to go to the founded boxes because otherwise it was the strength of the so called enemies of the sound republic. But all those of, you know, narratives are not working anymore. So what we can expect is, as i said before, a repetition of a historically low voter turnout and hence also the approximation of a, a, you know, higher ups. Uh, you know, a fake hinesville to turn out just 3 days ago. The already see the running around the some river. She guards a core affiliated media for us, talked about an expectation of 71 percent of the wrong is going to the polls so. So this is, you know, a stark contrast to probably only 10 to a maximum 20 percent of iranian so may go to the ballot boxes as political scientists only for the new jobs there. So as demand for cocaine, gross, to unprecedented levels here in europe. So to does the danger to communities where the drug is sourced, organized crime games are finding over the billions of dollars in black market money to be made. Germany is now one of the countries trying to rally International Authorities to coordinate efforts to interrupt International Supply lines. The general louisa has got these hands, full thousands of containers unloaded and the peruvian pulse of calais of every day and cocaine to be hidden in any of them. The mound in europe is increasing and such as drug smuggling. The ways is Anti Drug Team is on daily patrol. Instead about any potential suspicious containers, wed be gain changing fluid forces. But most of those is we absolutely need an International Exchange of information with only investigating authorities so that one can seize the drugs and the criminals behind the getting the knowledge due to rising demand. Coca cultivation improve is doubled since 2015. The drug is almost exclusively exposed to europe in germany wrinkled, 35. 00 tons received last year alone. Thats why germanys federal minister of the interior, nancy phaser, is traveling to south america, offering great to collaboration between nations. Except as ive already seen, the spiraling violence in belgium and the netherlands public. Prosecutors and journalists have been shot dead. And i would like to prevent that from happening in germany. I. He, non whitehall, 2000 drug related deaths and not just a few. And its not just about people dying, its a huge impoverishment associated with violence and huge profits because even in peru, rain forests are being cleared for drug cultivation. Coca farm is on just enough to survive well, International Smugglers make millions, the rule of law is being undermined. By corruption, as i mentioned, it was just another one. So theyre going to have a shared responsibility. Countries that can see must cooperate with countries that produce because this is where the damage is done, the environmental destruction and the mud is supporting the customer negotiations for security agreements all to begin soon. More education and training, a planned and a great to exchange of information. The importance of information sharing was demonstrated to the anti drug police at the end of january. A tip off enables the team to seize all of a 7 tons of cocaine and the ports of calais of the cocaine is embedded in wooden panels. The smugglers getting more, more creative and its becoming harder to find and also limited. But i mean, its a great satisfaction, not just for me, but for everyone who has worked with us. Were always off to the drugs with the aim of finding the people behind them. And thats why cooperation is so important. And any help is welcome, because the drug business is poisoning society and the people who use them. More of that, lets bring in the abilities latin america corresponding nicole raises in columbus, capital, volvo tower, durham interior minister. Nancy phaser is currently visiting nicole. First of all, and can you explain how big an issue of the fight against drunk cultivation and smuggling is that they are in columbia of the call. We just heard it there in the report. Its quite a huge issue. Still, even though the colombian government has, for example, in 2023, sees hundreds of, of tons of cocaine and has been destroying time. And again, cocaine plantations. It seems to be something that is difficult to get rid of just because there is so much money involved. This is a 1000000000. 00 business. The huge challenge, according to the Police Official that i talked to today from columbus. National police is that the people involved the international and National Play as a more and more becoming sort of invisible, smarter in the race. And this is why there needs to be more International Collaboration because india and this is not only an issue for columbia germany, this is an issue for many countries here in latin america pair. Route brazil, ecuador. Very prominently has been in the news just a few weeks ago because of its Security Issues due to this drug of violence as well and to your from the pores from latin america. The proud to use is arriving at the shores of europe and day. Were talking about hundreds of tons of cocaine every year, and thats only the part that will forward. These are actually detecting the only detecting a fraction. So there must be much more arriving. This is where an International Collaboration is highly needed because as we just heard in this report, this is not only about a drug that is going to europe is also about peoples lives that are in danger. Of people who are being killed or the environment being is destroyed and the poverty that goes hand in hand with this uh, with this business, at least for locals that are in the affected area square. Cocaine is being produced. Yes. Nicole. So what does that co operation look like . So today here in bogota, there was a sort of an agreement, like a letter of intent was signed and this letter of intent for sees that there is a profile, the exchange of in
