A person without being able to interact communicate with his lawyers who are representing his interests. Broadcasting live. International certainly. All right for employees of Russia Sputnik news agency in turkey have been released after questioning the editor in chief along with 3 others were detained in ankara and. This follows nationalists trying to break into the homes of 3 sputnik employees and we spoke to. Who is the head of the Sputnik Turkey Office and he. A group of about 20 people came directly to each of our employees had their residential addresses they shouted threats and accusations against them after our colleagues went to the play 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 a 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 article on the turkish province of has 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 are to sofitel has been across the story for us she spoke earlier with my colleague. Has been grabbing headlines in recent days youve seen this picture of migrants flooding across its border but this is another story from now thats been slightly over looked so 3 journalists who work for Russia Sputnik news agency in ankara have been released now off to several hours in Police Custody and thats because off to questioning no reason was found to hold them for i originally they actually went to the peace of their own free will because they wanted to file a complaint about an alleged attack that theyd been victims to in that own homes on saturday and after that nothing was heard from them until now of course which understandably sparked a concern from moscow all of the turkish authorities to intervene provide safety to 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 is also thought to have searched the offices of the bureau your interest of the attacks in the homes of the euro zones 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 walk for the russian news outlet but why would that be such a still at sea towards these 3 while unfortunate some in tukey are blaming russia for the deaths of dozens of tucker soldiers and in a syrian recently thats despite the fact. That i quest come out of i clearly said that we know that the Russian Air Force was in no way involved its also worth mentioning lets quickly listen to another motiv that was suggested i condemned last nights threats an attempted attack against 3 turkey based sputnik journalists outside their homes in ankara also concerned that they were reportedly detained today over an article by ozy authorities 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 a tie is discussed with some suggestion that potentially it was waged by the tux but i do want to say that that has not been confirmed or stop just as a motive for these attacks but it is briefly was just saying that this is unfortunate not the 1st time that sputnik has faced problems in a touch back in 2016 for example the news website was temporarily blocked by the countrys Telecom Regulator as the slate of fans would of course be keeping an eye on it and see how it all plays out turkeys not a model country regarding the treatment of its own journalists thousands have been thrown in jail. Others dozens remained 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 the reason Vienna Convention regarding the attitude towards diplomats and most countries respect. And boys and better goes about for journalists. Not so clear and reporters are usually working democracy of the host government and if the media cannot operate just because their country of origin is no. Friction with the other country thats very worrisome and perhaps turkey has something to hide. Saying in the region athens is deploying extra soldiers to its border with turkey in a bid to prevent refugees from crossing into greece this is 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 your. Oh. God 0 7 god of. Those. In my mind this is me go away during one country. Turkey has seen a growing sea of migrants crossing its borders after a decision to step up its intervention in the northern part of syria despite a deal reached with the e. U. 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 it the greek government has accused to turkey of using migrant surged to pressure europe over the syrian conflict a spokesperson for athens called the development a threat to the National Security of the country yes creating situation now poses the toughest test for greece since. The 2015 financial crisis middle east analyst believes the refugee problem will not end as long as fighting in syria continues. Early than once what the turkish authorities want is some cover for they operate sions immediately they want europe to become a stakeholder forth their operation in europe say 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 us mr. Against the syrian army providing and getting 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. The 1st phase of that u. S. Extradition case wrapped up this week the decision on whether he will be handed over or not will be reached in may when for their hearings are scheduled and the prosecution argued that assad knowingly put hundreds of lives at risk when he published troves of classified u. S. Military files without redacting names and other Sensitive Information washington claims that following those leaks in 2010 sources disappeared in iraq and afghanistan as well as iran and we could leaks founder is also accused of encouraging the whistleblower and Army Intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to go pack of the pentagons Computer Network now songes defense team has sought however to counter those allegations buttressing their case with previously undisclosed information they claim the publisher actually warned of then secretary of state Hillary Clinton about the leaks so as to ensure the safety of the individuals whose names appeared in the documents they have also stressed that activities are protected by the principles of press freedom and his lawyers have strongly rejected the assertion that he encouraged manning to hack the pentagon furthermore they say extradition would undermine their clients health. Now during the hearing assad was held in a glass cage he was also prevented from talking to his lawyers we heard from one of. A songe was in a grave condition before court but during the extradition proceedings had got even worse he was being held in a see through a room without any access to his lawyers while he was being delivered to this room he was handcuffed 11 times he underwent a full body search twice and went through 5 different rooms before he finally entered the court house moreover a songe couldnt take part in the Court Process he was deprived of any kind of interaction with his lawyers but he tried to reach out to be by passing a piece of paper through a gap in the glass box he was being held in and he was told off by the guard because of that i mean this is inconceivable how can a person be in Court Without being able to interact or communicate with his lawyers who are representing his interests. Well throughout the week joining us on his supporters have been protesting outside the court claiming the case is a test of fundamental press freedoms and called on london and washington not to quote shoot the messenger. And to go the admitted. In chose the many straw the body had to be for the release or so why arent we discussing the harm that was released there was revealed by the releases of which it is in 20102011 why arent we here talking in court about the war crimes yes thats the nature of innocent civilians by the military the slaughtering of reuters journalists that is why we should be talking about in a courtroom in this country and in america you know you say what why is everybody here today theyre here because they dont believe mainstream narrative we spoke to politician broadcaster and former british m. P. George galloway about concerns surrounding the freedom of the press. Do then our sons is a friend of mine and thats not the Julian Assange sitting in the courtroom this man is mentally and physically shrunken and how could it be otherwise after a whole decade of this cruel and unusual punishment who will volunteer to be the next julian our son who will receive evidence which checks out as being true of high crimes and misdemeanors by the Us Government or any government for that matter including our own and then report it to the public there will be had there would have to be either foolhardy or extremely brave because if they did so they run a very high risk of ending up in a bullet proof box in Woolwich Crown for facing extradition and the rest of your life in prison in the United States trust me that wont have a Chilling Effect on free journalism in the world it will have a killing effect. Is a trashy situation tons of garbage from belgium is being illegally dumped across the border into france and the mountains of trash have left locals fearing for their health like he child minsky picks up the story for. 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 core mu 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. Theyre throwing everything away. Yes but here we see its far more serious we estimate around 200 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 trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on term. And if so heres an invoice is it and. Then you know it says. So there. When the company was contacted it didnt need any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued its been described as 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 people are doing this and regulated the Mayors Office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means you know and if you know so 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 didnt 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 fink is yet available for 29000. 00 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here off fed up of being a dumping ground for other peoples waste they want more regulation and a calling on the easy to step in to solve a problem that some believe europes open borders are helping to facilitate charlotte. R. T. Germany has lifted a ban on the commercial practice of euthanasia but critics fear the right to die will now be exploited for profit arties but offer to. 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 a 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 its being overturned and not only could Companies Offer euthanasia but that advertising for the day could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesdays court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme pain 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 d 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. The media the following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in also what the commercial implications would 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 offers are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to feel suicide in fact some of the studies show that over 80 percent go through a period of depression with some suicidal thoughts and so what we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually living their lives rather than promoting assisted suicide newton asier services 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 are on the ruling or whether this is right for germany its not a commercial thing dying it its something that needs care security see it needs. Yes professionalism i think there are certain things that you cannot put a seal 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 like there was very bad incentives there if for example that advertising was actually targets people who are already having a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i dont disagree with their 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 it really it depends on who is in control of that promoting this kind of things 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 said to joy in the concerns that what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a Business Opportunity for all of the. 4 years after they lost to the white house to donald trump of the democrats are still paranoid about russian collusion and even suspect their own Bernie Sanders is now being targeted by the Kremlin Donald quarter takes a commentary look. Good news comrades our agent Bernie Sanders is doing better than we expected in the
