On saturday this follows nationalists trying to break into the homes of 3 student employees. We spoke to him. Head of the Sputnik Turkey Office in. A group of about 20 people came directly to each of our aim. At their residential addresses they shouted threats and accusations against them after our colleagues went to the Police Station to report the incident we could not then reach them for many hours however according to the place their phones had not been taken from them right now we want to know how this crowd of nationalists found out the addresses of all our employees their names and names and the story did not end there today a group of Police Officers arrived at is down below office as well as to the editor in chief of sputnik turkey now the police are making copies very employees hard drives as i understand it our articles on the turkish problems of time served as the basis for the searches in the recent events i want to say that we will now take measures to maximize the securities of the employees working in our office or to Saskia Taylor has been across the story and she spoke earlier with my colleague harvey because he has been grabbing headlines in recent days have seen those pics of migrants flooding across its border but this is another story from that its been slightly over a note saying 3 journalists who work for russias Sputnik News Agency in ankara have been released now off to several hours in Police Custody and thats because after questioning no reason was found to hold them for. Which and they actually went to the police of their own free will because they wanted to file a complaint about an alleged attack that theyve been victims to in that own homes on saturday and after that nothing was heard from them until now of course which understandably sparked concern from moscow we call on the turkish authorities to intervene provide safety to employees of the Russian Media and ensure that all circumstances are clarified its also said that the editor in chief of the Istanbul Bureau was also detained by police and what some are calling a flagrant violation of Media Freedom its now being confirmed that he too has been released and that happened it is also thought to have searched the offices of that bureau you mentioned some. Attacks in their own homes or your sons quite sinister what details do we know about those well its alleged that they were not spontaneous attacks but rather a coordinated fact and that they were instigated by turkish nationalists there are some reports saying that these nationalists gathered outside the private homes of these 3 journalists some of them even allegedly broke into them and they were chanting nationalist slogans and they also according to some stories versions they allegedly accuse these employees of betraying that country because they work for the russian news outlet but why would that be such a still a t towards these 3 wall unfortunate some in turkey are blaming russia for the deaths of dozens of tucker soldiers and in a syrian asteroid recently thats despite the fact that im quite as come out very clearly said that we know that the Russian Air Force was in no way involved its also worth mentioning lets quickly listen in to another motive that was suggested i condemn last nights threats and attempted attack against 3 turkey sputnik journalists outside their homes in ankara also concerned that they were reportedly detained today. As you through g. s to ensure the safety of foreign correspondents now the article in question is one in which 19th disputed referendum in the now tucker province of the toy is discussed with some suggestion that potentially it was rigged by the turks but i do want to say that that has not been confirmed as a motive for these attacks but it is briefly was just saying that this is unfortunate not the 1st time the sport has faced problems in turkey back in 2016 for example the news website was temporarily blocked by the countrys Telecom Regulator as this latest turn of events would of course be keeping an eye on it and see how it all plays out turkeys not a model country regarding. Own journal. Thousands have been thrown in jail. Others dozens remain in exile because they know that they too will be imprisoned if they do go back so the fact that they also do it to foreign media is not surprising there is a Vienna Convention regarding the attitude towards diplomats and most countries respect. And boys and better to us about for journalists its not so clear and reporters are usually working a domestique of there are host governments and if the media cannot operate just because their country of origin is now.

Sticking in the region athens is deploying extra soldiers to its border with turkey in a bid to prevent refugee refugees from crossing into greece thats as thousands continue to mass on the frontier tensions have escalated over the weekend with clashes erupting between police and migrants following turkeys decision on saturday to open its doors to europe. Oh. God 0 7 god love. Him in my mind this is me go away during one country.

In 2016 turkey now says it will no longer restrain hundreds of thousands of Asylum Seekers on its territory from reaching the e. U. Meanwhile greece says it has blocked some 10000 migrants from illegally crossing its border but thousands more remain massed along at the greek government has accused turkey of using the migrant surge to pressure europe over the syrian conflict a spokesperson for athens called the development a threat to the National Security of the country the escalating situation now poses the toughest test for greece since the 2015 financial crisis middle east analyst. Believes now that the refugee problem will not end as long as fighting continues in syria. What. Turkish authorities want is some cover for they operate sions immediately they want europe to become a stakeholder 4th their operation in europe saying apparently that they want to make sure that no more refugees would cross the border between syria and turkey and that in a sense just defies for them arming the likes of just as mr. Against the syrian army provided and school saluting the problem rather than solving the problem because the only way this problem is going to be solved by sea rather storing its you know territorial integrity and people going back to their homes as long as there is fighting and there will always be fighting as long as there is a bit of syrian land outside Syrian Government control as long as there is fighting there will always be refugees.

Tons of the garbage from belgium is being illegally dumped across the border into france and the mountains of trash have left locals fearing for their health care to charlotte basically picks up the story. This may look like part of a landfill site but its not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally were just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all cool moo 9 is one of many struggling to cope with what you can see mountains and to mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby its a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city. At 1st we thought it was regular waste but it turns out people are illegally dumping their washing machines. They are throwing everything away. Yes but here we see its far more serious we have. The made around 200. 00 tons of waste its enormous as far as the pollution we dont know whats inside it could be tons of who knows what type of products chemicals. We dont know we see cleaning products plastics but more could be hidden it didnt take long before calls track down where the waste was coming from what if we did i was looking through the trash piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on turnip. And that if so heres an invoice is it and. Then you know it says sent her so there. When the company was contacted it didnt any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued its being described as a dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in redone the local Fishermans Association is also concerned. On the water source or close to this pollution so there could be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put waste like this its an acceptable and people are doing this and regulated the Mayors Office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means you know and if youre also on a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a Small Community of 1000. 00 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole annual budget to get rid of this. A criminal investigation into this problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported 7 metric tons of waste like this was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric tons now although there are no figures yet available for 29000 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for of the peoples waste they want more regulation and are calling on the e. U. To step in to solve a problem that some believe europes open borders are helping to facilitate charlotte didnt ski for r. T. In most out of. Germany has lifted a ban on the commercial practice of euthanasia but critics fear the right to die will now be exploited for profit and hes bitter over takes a closer look. Almost 5 years after it was banned the highest court in germany has ruled that blocking assisted suicide is unconstitutional and making its ruling on wednesday the Constitutional Court in culture is said everyone has a right to live and a right to die article 217 of the german criminal code outlawed euthanasia as well as the advertising of the services what this ruling from the Constitutional Court means is that thats being overturned and not only could Companies Offer euthanasia but that advertising for the deaf could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesdays court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme paying and suffering from terminal illnesses to end their lives on their terms however senior voices within Palliative Care are warning that this could perhaps only to the normalization and indeed the commodification of suicide in society now the facilitation of suicide for the sick and tired of life is turning into a normal Service Anyone who allows you to nature will sooner or later make it compulsory to die especially in this society is economize designers knowledge of experience across all other countries shows that supply creates demand immediately following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in also what the commercial implications will be for Companies Wanting to get involved in the euthanasia business i want clear rules about when medical assistance in particular is allowed and when commercial offerings are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to feel suicide in fact some of the studies show that i have 80 percent go through a period of depression with some sort of sidle thoughts and so what we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually. Adding their lives rather than promoting assisted suicide newton says so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all round of the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many fine reports people feeling that their lives were not worth living and actually ending them prematurely highest people here in berlin what their thoughts d are on the ruling of whether this is right for germany its not a commercial thing dying it its something that needs care security he needs. Yet professionally i think there are certain things that you cannot sail to people like its not a business you before yes i know want to commit suicide but im suffering i want to end my life you cannot do that to pay for it seems to me there was very bad incentives there if for example that advertising was actually targets people who were already having a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i dont disagree with the physician assisted suicide just because like there are certain aspects that are beneficial for it but in terms of the advertising i could go either way like a really it depends on who is in control of that promoting this kind of fings for me is that a progress currently within a year of belgium the netherlands looks a book and switzerland all allow assisted dying but with germany set to joy in the concerns are about that what is one of the most sensitive subjects could be set to become a Business Opportunity peter all over. 4 years after they lost the white house to donald trump the democrats are still paranoid about russian collusion and even suspect their own Bernie Sanders is now being targeted by the kremlin or used on quarter as unique commentary. Good news comrades our agent Bernie Sanders is doing better than we expected in the primaries are planned to have 2 agents fight over the presidency Operation Hammer and sickle is a go but we have one problem some in the Democratic Party establishment are becoming savvy to our strategy Vladimir Putin thinks donald trump should be president of the United States and thats why russia is helping Bernie Sanders get elected so hell lose to trump it doesnt help that just last week western media published information about our top secret operation exposing the connection between agents trump and sanders with our center in moscow as you learned tonight and today yesterday the day before is going to have were going to war help coming from learn to be prudent. For help for one or 2 new one somebody who didnt think can be from at least age and trump was able to follow orders i admit nothing deny everything and make counter accusations it was highly exaggerated. And frankly i think its disgraceful and i think it was a leak from the Intelligence Committee our house version and i think that they leaked it i think probably shipley good agent sanders on the other hand really dropped the ball he panicked and that is the ugliest thing theyre doing is they are trying to cause chaos the trying to cause a truth in america its an ugly business and all of us have got to say sorry youre not going to do this in the selection and again is present in the United States. You will not interfere in our elections the order was to deny sanders deny but he broke under pressure blowing the cover of our moscow back to bernie bros i design these people they are not part of our movement all of us remember 2016 and what we meant what we remember is efforts by russians and others to try to interfere in our election and divide us up. Im not saying thats happening but it would not shock me the center has good reason to believe agent sanders has been compromised were losing control over his actions and hes praising our strategic allies too openly you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program its not a bad think its only a matter of time before they discover the interview agent sanders gave to profit i mean r t what effect do you think you can have on your voters it was so close here in iowa well i just hope that people take a hard look at the real issues impacting their lives to make matters worse we may have a mole in our midst how else could the footage have been leaked remember when the comrades recruited sanders at the new years party of 1908 bernie spent his honeymoon in there in soviet russia i mean i think if were going to go back and forth about whos more in the tank with russia its a really hard one between barney and rob we have made too many tactical blunders as it is and western pundits are already undergoing a campaign to discredit our agent obviously we know the russians are continuing to try to choose our next president like they chose our last president the russians dont want me to be the nominee who spent a lot of money on bots on facebook and theyve been taken down say biden is a bad guy the no one biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent the happiest person right now its about one in 15 moscow time this thing is going very well for gladly approach i promise you they probably stay up watching us right now how you doing our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think its time to extract our agents.
