refugees to integrate if they want to stay in germany. and a headache for hillary clinton. the former u.s. secretary of state broke government rules with their e-mail account. it's good to have you with us. tonight, ukrainian pilot, nadiya savchenko is home and a free woman. her setting release -- her sudden release was today that she was convicted in the assist thing of murder and two russian journalists, which she had been sentenced to 22 years in a russian prison. today, she arrived in key of to a heroes reporter: welcome. the media frenzy when nadiya savchenko -- she has become a national hero here in ukraine. >> i am free and i want to ask forgiveness from all the mothers whose children who have not returneded home from the antiterrorist operation while i am alive. i want to ask forgiveness for all mothers while i am free. i cannot bring home those who died but i am always ready to put my life on the line one more time. in march, she was convicted over the killing of two russian journalists in eastern ukraine and sentenced to 22 years behind bars. shipment held in captivity since 2014. while in prison, she launched several hunger strike to protest her detention and constantly defied russian authorities, even raising her middle finger at the court in march. her release is seen as a political victory for the ukrainian president. he awarded the pilot the country's highest honor. >> today is the day nadia came back to ukraine. just as we return her, we will return crimea back to ukrainian sovereignty. reporter: the two russian serviceman who were swapped for her arrived on thursday. but amir putin said he had pardoned nadiya savchenko and the release is seen as one that wouldase tension before the european union decides whether to extend sanctions against russia. brent: following that story for us are our correspondents in kyiv and moscow. the president of ukraine, how is he trying to sell this -- a big success and mark reporter: this is how it looked like on this wednesday in key of. he announced it on his twitter account and then when she landed here at the international airport, and then this p press conference, having her on the right sideaying as we just heard in that report at she is back and in the same sense, he wants to bring back eastern ukraine and crimea back to ukraine. however, there was an interesting moment in this press conference. i have a feeling that personally she knew about this and tried everything to shape her image in a different way. she says without the help of her sister who gave a lot of interviews to ukrainian media, without all of yourself, she would not the free because politicians would not have cared about her destiny at the end of the day. brent: an interesting take on that. how is it playing out in russia? we have two freed russian prisoners back home tonight. reporter: yes, we do, but i would say the media coverage has probably differed somewhat. we saw images of these two russians today walking down the steps of the plane sent from kyiv to bring them back to russia. they were greeted on the tarmac by the wise, but it was a much more subdued affair. the media fanfare and media scrum which met nadiya savchenko on her arrival back home in kyiv and of course, she later went to meet the president. it is worth noting that the russians have never admitted these two men were soldiers in eastern ukraine. they have denied that but the reason this prison swap was able to take place today was because vladimir putin himself personally signed a part -- signed a pardon for nadiya savchenko who just a short time ago, they were given a sentence of 14 years each for taking part in clandestine operations in the east of the country. but what is interesting and important is the fact that neither nadiya savchenko nor these two russians will have to spend any more time in prison because they have all been pardoned. therefore, it will be interesting to see what kind of future nadiya savchenko has now that she is back in ukraine. brent: germany's coalition government has approved a milestone law tonight designed to get refugees working and make them part of german society. but

camp is located in a former supermarket. one group tweeted middle of nowhere, no drinking, dirty and leaky. this fight the poor conditions, this refugee said it was better. doctors without borders has

were in the city earlier today. why did the catholic church choose leipsic? guest: first and foremost, this was organized by a secular organization, the german council of catholics of germany. it's not a direct hard of the official catholic church, this is actually one of the most secular places in all of western europe. in a definite sense, this is a political message that had a lot to do with ringing the church as a very tolerant, very open and honestly a very open organization to a place where there has been a lot of anti-immigration discussion. brent: that brings me to my next question. did the president of germany -- he is not catholic bute is an ordained minister. what was the purpose of having him speak at a conference for catholics? guest: there were a lot of evangelicals and protestants and there was a mention of what they call the sister churches that have been instrurumental to keep it going. the main point has been to show there's a very strong commitment to ideas of openness and integration. these ideas are ones that can be brought into the church. this is a church that can be economical and open. brent: what about the issues that have been dogging the church right now? was her much talk of that? guest: there has not been a lot of talk about sexual abuses. there was some talk about the integration of women and there was a large contingent of catholic gay a

secretary of state's views of a -- use of a private e-mail server. the audit by the inspector general found clinton could have left sensitive material vulnerable to hackers. the issue has made a headache for clinton in her campaign for the presidency. she's the front runner for the democratic nomination to succeed barack obama in the white house. we're going to pull in our washington correspondent who has been following this. good afternoon. what makes this report -- we could say it is a special report or depending on what side of the political aisle, this is a damming report, isn't it? guest: yes. that's a good question because i read all of the reports, 78 pages and i couldn't find a lot of new information. the inspector general found her practices failed to comply with the state department's policies meant to ensure federal laws are followed and you can put into a nutshell and say she wrote the law and could not comply with the rules. she, the former country estate has to make sure all the people who work for the state department, she broke the law and i think what makes it so dangerous is that now it is official. brent: it is official and begs the question what is it going to mean for her campaign? guest: it won't go away, it is a big problem for her. donald trump, the republican nominee who just gave a speech in california is already using it. i think trump will continue to do that. clinton said she was cooperating with the inspector general, but when you talk to his office or look through the report, you will see the opposite is true. the inspector general said clinton and her aid were not cooperating with the investigation. what makes it dangerous is that it fits into the narrative. everyone else has to comply with the law. not she. hillary is above the law and that's why so many americans think she is arrogant and not a likable person. brent: on the story for us this evening, thank you as always. here are some of the other stories making

streaming services offer a wide range of programming. the europeaean commission wantso force netflix, amazon, and the like to make sure 20% of their content is produced in europe. the e commission wanants to counterbalance the huge glut of u.s. productions. >> we think european film culture should be proportionally available. it is a form of f indirect suppt for european films. we think 20% is a very reasonable number. reporter: so users tastes will no longer be a deciding factor. but the plans still have to get past the eu, parliament, and member states. on top of that, some countries

leaders want to take advantage of these innovations in the most organic way possible. daniel: there was a shock for alibaba today after their stock dropped. what's happening there? guest: not good news for the chinese retailer where the securities and exchange commission is investigating accounting practices. as for now, alibaba is said to be cooperating and providing information related to its
