still monster unhealthy ministry says at least 14 people were killed and dozens injured flies really strikes on the eve of the holiday and that 3rd time, thank you so much for your company by the questions. got any issues or thoughts say what? the heck, what are government's done to tv channel sharing a live broadcast in the netherlands. police describe it, a torture chamber and a shipping container. what connects these incidents?

it's cocaine and drug trafficking between that's in america and europe. columbia has broken its own record for cultivating co cut. the main ingredients. ok, huge increases in the amount of copay in entering the continent. 3 poults in belgium and the netherlands. what's happening to us in terms of cocaine is quite historical. this really is a big a new fee that is on sort of cocaine, to your, of assessing. no, it's just the most popular hard drive in europe. this is some, actually some very rich the, some of this, it is devastating consequences. such a house actually has your come and your hot spots. ok. the 1000 been in a city known for its club scene and it's truck consumption. cocaine is high from

the consumer says, the highly addictive track pushes through to the highest ties or the lowest, those. the drug has never been easier to get in berlin. like in many other cities, you can order it. yeah. messenger apps. people who are willing to pay around 50 years past graham and co taxis are delivering to cocaine. right? to the doorstep. reliable data about the use of cocaine is have to come by octo it is at least a top draft. sonya is a dealer, so consumers want to brag about numbers. but it's in european screen and sewers where authorities read to and about cocaine consumption, local ken residues found there. the cities regularly scanned the waste, which is for drugs. the bigger to circles, the more cocaine was detected there, and breasted use of almost shrivelled since 2015. there are several reasons for the

rise of cocaine use in europe. but one thing is clear, more fitness available than ever before. so why is cooks and flooding into europe just now? to understand it, we will travel from europe to less than america. and back 1st of all, it's about big money, smart land, cocaine to europe. this course key to organized crime. it's totally worth it. as lucrative change is the moving off of the co caves from latin america to your this is where the big money is. this is where every party wants to get some farms. jeremy mcdonough, texas pink time researching over nice crime, and the america has faced in mid in columbia aquino crime of cocaine in columbia south for 2002 s dollars. but what it moves abroad, it's worth way more than that. a yeah, bridge price of

a chill co came in the united states is between depending on the point of entry between $16.00 and $25000.00. where is that the same key though is, was left at least even as high as mode $40000.00 in your there is the increased costs and simply losing it across the united states is much easier to reach. so this means a lot of people can and money by smartlight cocaine to europe. we will get to this part of the story of it later. what would you need to know now? is that europe is a growing up and coming market for cocaine. and it is catching up with the stock 19 markets in north america, especially the us, europe a. so some are truck to for truck traffic hers because penalties for drug offenses are less if you then in the u. s. for example. and controls have not been as tough

. so with milk and slot in europe, thomas, this is changing, and authorities have celebrated record boss in the past years. the largest single seizure in europe was in hamburg, germany in 2021. 16 tons of cocaine. for us up to $3500000000.00 that we have on for belgium's biggest port customs here seized a $116.00 tons of cocaine and towed to it in 2023. also our records. but researchers say more bus also means more traffic getting the so seizing more drugs, it's not necessarily a reason to celebrate. i started really a big concern that, you know, this is, this is crazy. something big is happening here. so on and yet it's following the growing influx of cocaine to europe in the d. u. direct extensions in just the

portugal. all the logistics of the trade that the, the role much here for the trade of cocaine itself. everything has been scaled up and directed to europe. so let's travel across the atlantic to where cocaine is coming from latin america. i'm coca plans, i'm a new drone in columbia period. and the lady at the glance tries best and mountain santiago area kind of 6 track just from the lease that has long been used best. i must implant and such an america in columbia has traditionally been the biggest producer and it was here for a special piece deal, shook up the cocaine market in 2016. the revolutionary forces of columbia or fark, agreed to lay down after 50 years for value. the fox initial goal was to place to

columbia and democratic governments within the ground and come and it's true. but the reason we had talking about them is okay. they got involved in the business to fund their activities. the, the full fund 2016, control them would you like to do anything up to 70 percent of the coca feels coca page production and co which means they were essentially a one stop shop for cocaine with foreign government. it was a freefall, determined, the landscape problem is into a more competitive market. ma, gaggs being involved is one of the reasons why i'm all kind of planted and harvest sits in columbia and we'll get also mean more violence and that's in america. as many smaller groups now fide full control over the protection,

say last in america has, i think it's about 8 percent of the world population and it has moving 13 percent of the top of science. this is a small pox jus to the truck trade research for you. one country in particular has been drag, need into the judge and drop game. you gotta look at my so they said they could have assessing the cone. maybe let it pass. i come back these 103030. okay. so by the board and what the product. okay, is would be settled for the like a $4.00. but of course getting the knowledge. this is carla. oh, that is a security expert who has been following the situation in her country very closely if that the people spoke thursday. okay, go back again. i remember crying as far as across the country in the past years, violence corruption, homicides in 20 twenty's,

3 or presidential candidate was assessing the agent who was complaining against openness crime. so what this, the small south american country has to do with the growing effects of cocaine to your, to explain, we have to go to ecuador, speak as topper quite i. q. and we must dive deep into another business in ecuador silver, its largest exposure, but non us, the food is shipped from quite a key to smaller posts to europe in the world. and these boxes are apparently the perfect place to hide and smuggle. okay. that's why some of the food coming from a quite or not go by non us graphic or she was bad. she's in food experts because they need to go through customs very quickly before that watching the account on the products not to stand out. in the vast volumes of the level change. tens of millions of containers arriving in europe every year and less than 10 percent of

them contain a trade has changed. again, this has given the books to the trade. that's incredible because the traffic is have been able to power sites. this digital bit trade between the 2 continents to put their merchandise in it and retrieve it when they arrive here. sorry, to use a stepping of controls. containers from some countries are more likely to get checked. the country coming from colombia on routine me, read the principal transit nations like kind of mom and quit all the whole set containers routine. the red flags from some of the brazilian coast smugglers are looking for new points of departure, and we're seeing way more drugs now go to the caravans. we're

seeing them move further through central america space like costa rica, which is seen increased 5 and the same. and move further down to argentina border, why even a cheap and then 6 ok, trusted land. and finally, reaches for the cost space plus the main arrival point because it's curse the traffic or is increasing the moving to europe, spigots ports in the north brought to time and another met on suburban belgium and convert in germany. because this is where most containers go from. these hot criminals, distributed cocaine all over europe, matters also got more crated containers often smuggled into the quick school in wine. so spirit. so the liquidity batch wings,

which even sprayed on things like cheap and compatible like a guy, not he, he died in the end of a left, but it is, of course, he does, is contain, is a most be so spice of it to the liquefied drac pleasure. has to be re crystallized into cocaine. this is why the authorities are discovering a growing number of cocaine, of our choice in europe. and this also means that europe, him off yars, applying a more important role in the field, or can business starts with, with the the, the now, the subs and the thing you hear day on the coffee, terse, but at the as have to suffer the consequences. because struck relates to silence and smell spread an ad for the belgian harbour city. an 11 year old girl died in a truck related shooting in 2023. that's total is peter decrease was killed,

and i'm so diamond 2021 police to be motivated by his investigations into cocaine trafficking. that he before does police found a torture chamber hidden in a shipping container? an underworld present? built by a drunken and entrance to violence comes to another blights. it does seem that corruption is increasing in europe, or at least we are seeing corruption where before we didn't see it, the drug trade, wherever, whatever time it to actually it's corruption environment. and finally, you're just not the end of the cocaine trail. i think we can now say that europe is a transit place for cocaine, a distant for other markets, the middle east in asia. remember the whole say process, we mentioned before. well, the rise, the further the traffic or sco, she's the crime of cocaine sales, for example, for $56000.00 and pockets on our $68000.00 and got our strong incentives for

criminals to go further. cocaine is a multi $1000000000.00 criminal industry. and it seems to be getting out of control . so what could be done about it? everyone talked about legalize agent taking the money out of the criminal hands and putting it into the legal that's of course, politically unacceptable. so that's not very much point talking about this is step csr t. so trying to get have the criminals. cocaine trade is a network effect. so also we need to to, to work more with authorities in, in the that's in american police customs law enforcement side. but not only also the demand side, the policy side, because finally it's also about the uses in europe and beyond. located the policy. so i don't know where to said conflict. i'm in denver on saturday, saturday, phenomena. oh i know but, but yeah, we're not

a man. as long as people are gray. so next time there will always be somebody willing to risk everything to get his share of the big money. the hey, all you guys out there, we have a personal question. what sort of underpants do you wear? comfortable and airy, or tight and sexy? so watch out tight on their parents can affect your testicles and therefore your efforts. hillary. one study recorded a 17 percent lower sperm counts for the type brief wearers compared to guys who prefer boxers, that's probably because breeds keep you warm are down there, but don't head off to buy new ones just yet. we might have more for your to do list . welcome to in good shape.
