We expect the russian government to explain its position on this case very serious questions have come up which only the russian government can and must. Want to unfold with the german chancellor there with very Strong Language for until america we have Team Coverage of todays developments im joined by correspondent kate brady here in berlin and yuri rashad in moscow you both kate let me start with you strong words from the german chancellor what proof do the germans have this was no joke well the proof of this poisoning came from a special toxicology test that was carried out by a specific department of the german bundestag the German Military which focuses on chemical weapons and also the protection of civilians and the military against chemical weapons and its this test result angloamerican says that is proof that aleksei in a valley was indeed the victim of a crime and they and that the aim was indeed for him to be silenced yury weve got the german chancellor along with other western countries now demanding answers from the kremlin whats the kremlin saying. Well brant in contrast to the strong reactions that roll in the in from the town for a special from the german chancellor with as authorities here in russia have so far been reluctant to comment on the violence poisoning and leadership to scoff spokesperson of the russian president Vladimir Putin sad to that the kremlin would be unable to give a proper response to berlin statement which is in a way all else also a statement i think. The Russian Foreign minister is south of that beilin statements on not based on any evidence and that the reactions from the route Russian Parliament was expected and they called it provoked haitian dictated by political motives that could be organized by the United States to stop because the gas project the north stream to between russia and germany the European Union and nato theyve had to deal with a similar cases before involving nobody for example and russia are there any clues from past experiences to help deal with this investigation. Well one of the 1st puts of cool i would of course be to slap some sanctions on specific people in russia even on businesses of vessels very poor and as a review would depend on how moscow decides to cooperate or not waive and in the end it so that part is in the coming days but as you are he says so you father response from moscow has been rather hazy already dont we used to here in berlin your shadow in moscow to both of you thank you. For russias opposition activism publications the news from germany today confirmed what theyd never dealt it would you take a look at once leonid vocals and senior aide to the likes you have all need tweeted today he writes in 2020 poisoning the ball me with nobody joke is exactly the same as leaving an autograph at a crime scene like this and underneath there what you see is a picture of the signature of what amir putin.

Granted him politically asylum in 2015 after russia sold to extradite him on in belgium and charges you joins me tonight from london its good to have you on the day this evening i want to start by getting your response to what has happened today and germany calling for russia to explain itself well im shocked at the fact that milledge a great talks in was used to assess and ate the volley who has emerged as the most trying to trust the opposition puts it squarely points at Russian Security services and that russian authorities as the people responsible for this incident. Let me ask you you are in the u. K. Where the script all were attacked with no joke in england about 2 years ago are you satisfied with how the u. K. And the west have responded. Not at all right after this clip of assessing nations in 2080 of the reason may the Prime Minister of the u. K. At that time issued a very strong statement but nothing really fed up and the corrupt russian money continued to come to the u. K. Without hindrance the people who are close to putins regime who can be considered the wallets of alton and his clique continue to reside and is it western capitals with no obstacles whatever when you say that then why would anyone want to follow in a like scene of all these footsteps when they know that they could wind up in prison or maybe wind up being the victim of a poisoning attack. Well the people for whom freedom is very dear. Who want to see russia as a free as a democratic country who want to establish a political system that is reflective of what the russian people fake of course they will they have assembled under the leadership awful accent of ali and they will continue fighting that has been the story of Freedom Fighters all over the world we never had the doctors here in berlin who are treating links in of on the the they say that he may not fully recover from this poisoning what does that mean then for the opposition in russia. Over here is alexei imagist as the most prominent opposition politician but he is quite unique in russia in that he has created a political organization. And Media Organization and. There are there are more than 200 people working full time. In the various activities and there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of supporters of what alexei and. Has been doing so i think the movement will continue. Even though for now we feel great absence of alexei i hope that she recovers soon and she recovers fully and will get back at the forefront of this fight you know im sure there are a lot of people who share that sentiment with you if you look at the situation as it is now it appears that the Russian Secret Service under Vladimir Putin can act and do what it wants with impunity what does that mean for people like you who are living abroad do you feel that you know the drill wife is safe or that you sometimes feel like your life is threatened. Well of course weve seen throughout the last 50 years that Russian SecurityServices Capable of assessing nations she did much anywhere at the same time of course i feel much safer now in london that i was elated on the space of last hope or as the recent events show alexa that wisely on that is russian. And is a summation. Not the 1st it follows this tree off attempts on life afresh and political and civil activists and some of that fat and that tragically like maurice thats absurd it just doesnt shift. Vladimir of her cough joining us tonight from london and what i mean we appreciate your time and your insights thank you thank you. Well still to come on the day 5 years ago the week that changed europe the story of a syrian woman who survived the dangerous crossing to europe in 2015 and then went back to help other refugee stories coming up in just a moment. And into areas killer in cambodia as genocidal cmere rouge regime has died at the age of 77. 00 comrade doyle as he was known was head of security and oversold the deaths of thousands after the communist guerrilla fighters seized power in 1975 the regime the door exult to transform cambodian to a classless Peasant Society in the process they killed an estimated 2000000 people through starvation and execution in what became known as the killing fields before his death dory had been serving a life sentence for crimes against humanity. The body of conrad dyke arrives at a buddhist temple in phnom penh for crim a sion after years of poor health the former camaro rouge leader died at this hospital in the early hours of wednesday. During pol pots genocidal regime in the 1970 s. Was in charge of cambodias most notorious prison the s 21. 00 there the man who once worked as a schoolteacher oversaw torture cruelty as well as the murder of more than 12000. 00 men women and children. In 2010 he was tried by a un supervised court and expressed remorse for his actions. Can be something that i would like to acknowledge and my legal responsibility. Can someone get taxed for all of the crimes that happened that s 21 that me and the sama because specially the torture and execution of people who are there. Someone. Out to be with. Them so while confessing his crimes also claimed he was merely following orders and late in the trial pushed for a release claiming he was not guilty prosecutors handed him a 35 year sentence later extended to life in prison. The crimes of the regime he served and his role in particular still weigh heavily on cambodian society. Religion created bad history for us but now its the end of his life. Like yeah i will never forget the horrible past all the crimes that he committed he deserved to serve more prison terms but now he has died i can forgive him. I regret that he is dead now. If he had stayed alive the Younger Generation may have heard more history from him and now he is dead its all over.

Went global. But since the attack on challis of those newsroom behind me here defending the freedom of the press in france has become more difficult especially with the rise of populist politics and an increasing distrust of the traditional media. Challis adore has continued to operate from a secret location the magazine still regularly receives threats its editor in chief says the internet has made things worse. Nowadays when people read critical comments on social media they immediately take them personally they often threaten us and in very violent ways. They said yes if you write satire and press cartoons are supposed to upset people and before provoking that cartoon culture is increasingly getting lost scituate really get your desire to be on.

All this week were looking back to the summer of 2015 when an unprecedented number of migrants fled were and poverty in their home countries many of them from syria and then headed for europe many of them never made it that sobering reality became Crystal Clear with this shocking image 5 years ago today the body of syrian toddler alon kurt was photographed after it had washed ashore in turkey he had drowned what so many others trying to cross the mediterranean the photo became a symbol of the plight of hundreds of thousands of syrians who were trying to reach europe. One of the syrians joins me right here at the big table. Made the perilous journey across the mediterranean in 2015 and eventually made it here to germany she later returned to greece to help save the lives of other refugees its good to have you on the show let me start by asking you about that haunting image there we sell there of. I remember people saying 5 years ago we have to do something so that his death would not have been in vain 5 years later. Once the village nothing changed we still have the same accidents and the same situation happening every single day. Lets call death but still those people drowning there is there actually is even worse now theres pushbacks people are illegally. Been accused of being camillos and been sent back to their lands where they actually left fleas in the 1st place because they asked for safety so its getting worse nothing changed theres over 50000 refugees in greece itself or your refugee camp as is the king of the headlines on the news and still nothings happening so you know why you decided to leave syria because as simple as i lost my home i had no proof on top of my head i wasnt even safe anymore to go to school to im a professional so was this i was young i can not even go to swim as and the idea of every day saying goodbye to your mom on the door. To go to school and then not knowing if youre going to syria again i think i just how the right to live in a safe space like everyone else and the dream to a please continue my education. You left syria. To me but the journey you made. So i left syria with my youngest younger sister usurper which was 17 by then and i was 20. We went from the mascots airport we took a flight to turkey which back then there was no business it was very easy for us to just fly in and then you contact of course a smuggler because you need someone to get you into greece and he met us and to stumble and then drove us as a bus for 10 hours to izmir and then from is near with the good thing gave but of course after we spend 4 nights on the shore
