30min @TheEconomist clip - How can #banks be used to stop human #trafficking?

 

Text from youtube "Human trafficking is devastating for the victims but low-risk for the criminals, whose activities are largely hidden from view. To disrupt it, law enforcement is turning to some unlikely new partners—banks. 

German police raid homes across the country as part of a move to take down an international human trafficking network. It’s the fastest growing crime in the world but sights like this are rare. 

This is 21st century crime - hard to track, low risk and high reward for the criminal gangs behind it. Today’s biggest criminals could be trafficking humans, drugs or weapons. 

The authorities charged with stopping them have found some unlikely new partners - banks.

Text from you tube "Across the planet, humans eat on average between 1 and 2.7 kilograms of food a day, and every last scrap makes its way through the digestive system. Comprised of ten organs covering nine meters, this is one of the most complicated systems in the body. Emma Bryce explains how the different parts of the digestive system work to transform your food into the nutrients and energy that keep you alive. 

Lesson by Emma Bryce, animation by Augenblick Studios."

found via laughing squid

What would happen if every single human from the entire history of our species suddenly came back to life today? How many people would there be, what would they look like as a group and how would it affect society? It's an absurd question, but it's still an interesting one to try and answer!
