but have not unveiled the details of the charges. it comes after the mother of rushing opposition leader, alexia, nevada. the made a direct appeal to vladimir putin for his body to be released is amazed. phenomena who is behind me is the prison calling you where my son alex sane of all new died on february 16th for 5 days. i have not been able to see him when they have not released his body to me and have not even told me where it is. yeah, but as i appealed to you letting me uprooting because the resolution of this problem depends solely on you this and you on the let me finally see my son. i demand that alex stays body you released immediately so that i can bury him properly to white people couldn't enter more on this will spring and d, w, russia analyst, konstantin, agra. 2 is joining us from billy. so we see it there. and the volume is mother calling out on put into let her bury her son. what did you think when you heard the

statements as well, it is a very powerful statement by him. all that stuff being in front of the prison where his songs died, but i'm afraid that's not good to have any kind of effect on the butler putting his breast century music discuss already said that the presidency doesn't deal with things like gods. he said it before the po and i have some reception that the kremlin will continue to inflict the psychological portrait. i'm not afraid to say on the number on the front of the what you've seen recently. a problem is, is not releasing the voltage up until 2 weeks late. so probably more if, say, designed as a show off. kimberly ation full and the value of his supporters of his family and as a show of strength, both to the russian people and to the west. i'm in control, i do whatever i please. that is what we essentially hear though from latino. and

we've been hearing about these new charges that the russia has opened against a criminal case against the lexie involved his brother. now, how do you interpret that move as well? it is the, the element of this continuous pressure. it shows that the family will not be left alone. luckily. or like nobody, according to the russian media reports, he is living outside of rusher. i think it's cyprus, but i think we should very 5. i think it's 5 years. um and probably he's not getting to offer to be arrested. but if you look at the way, uh, for example, to cause regime use tried to use at least the inter palmer's humor. oh, the pursuit across the globe. so this is an additional pressure element. and this is an additional way of saying, well, i'm not going to leave you about konstantin. um, i'd like to ask you about using another night because i mean, she has about to carry the torch for her husband and carry on his work. her account on social media platform,

x was briefly suspended for violating the community rules that seems to move back up again. what's going on there? well, probably we should ask you a little mark, sarah, but uh, some of the experts that i heard commenting on that said that because the, the, the, the, the account was created only 24 hours or 36 hours ago and already has more than a 100000 subscribers, maybe it was just an algorithm which suspected that it was some kind of bank account that was boosting its following, but we'll see, and it will must make statements which looked well, let's say fairly sympathetic to put in. so if it was indeed a case of political censorship, we'll know whether there's dw russia analysts, konstantin agra. thank you. i think it's and our riga bureau chief, your shadow, spoke with opposition, politician and former state duma,

deputy dmitri. a good cough for his reaction to the death of alexi and a bonnie: what's a good coffee you knew i'd exceed the valley personally for many years. what else is the rational position to lose with? no volume is best. i would like to say that we don't lose anything. i read a lot of comments on the lease in advance on facebook and other social media. people saying that they they lost the whole, but i don't think that we should lowe's, they hope. i think that we should be more angry. we should have more rage to flight against these corrupt in and uh, create your resume because i have no choice the receipt when, when it kills is a point in it means that the resume is, is to week. is there a presidential elections in russia in less than a month?

how do you think the volumes death will change as we move into the country? i think that some people will be or have already been terrorized and threatened. the bus is that i can see many people have more rage. i think that's on march 17th. we will arrange a big protest, cold noun against pointing to the left while it's in one of the political will to participate, not in the elections, wouldn't go with the elections to come to the point and stay, send them the same day, same time, to become visible to show when to demonstrate that there are a lot of people in russia instead of against the war against the legs, would appoint him against his dictatorship and against him. his criminal regime, given that portents biggest threat take a, has now been silenced forever. is that awesome president strong? the often the volume is death than before. so i don't think so because you're the one that decided to like become

a politician even in the one that is white. yes. um. his team is still a strong team with a lot of popular social media, and we can get to get together within the team to charge you to meet our efforts. uranium so cold, the selections put is a couple that are to use pretty high is still in the soviet union when i was like very small. i remember that the, the meaning of what's out from the water machine was very popular because there was no like competition. there was no, you know, uh, in the market. but one of the color it appeared in the market. so nobody just use that water machine. so there is no alternative to put in the be very useful and confirm this was like no names. but in case of like

a real competition, i think the point you would lose the complaints and why they were like to someone else. some believe that and of all is death is also the death of that awesome i'll position is that's true. the opposition is the proper word. russ, because the position means that is low power and well organized, participating the elections and trying to lie to, to flight for the power. but of course we're not that position or this advance, but that's the, uh, this specific do a lot of dictatorship today or like this, that yeah, tomorrow are you are kind of present that they've given may happen just very fast. me typical, thank you so much for the interview. thank you. in other news wiki leaks, founder juliet assault has not appeared any you paid court and what might be his

last chance to stop extradition to the united states. lawyers for the 52 year old say that he is on well, there at london's high court trying to persuade judge is there to brand a new appeal hearing. sanchez wanted by us, prosecutors who want to put him on trial on spying charges. crowd of a sondra supporters had been outside of the court, protesting for his release. they fear that if the proceedings failed, he could be put on a plane to the united states straight away. sancha, his wife appears that he could die if he ends up being extradited days before the u . k. cool. it's considered whether to expedite julian, a songs to the us, his wife issue to heartfelt plea for his release. his health isn't declined mentally and physically. his life is a risk. every single day he stays in prison, the energy use extradited, he will die. but it's not just about to be expedited. should julian should never

have been put in prison in the 1st place, the to day hearing maybe a song just final chance to prevent expeditions to the us where he faces a prison sentence of up to a 175. he is assault just been a wanted man since 2010 of these which were blowing for him, which he likes published classified us all the materials supplied by an intelligence analyst, delete, consign documents and video footage from the was enough dentist on a new, rac summit is associated with shocking, seemingly implicating us troops impossible war crimes. i believe that if those 2 things were lawful under the rules of engagement been the rules of engagement are wrong. deeply wrong. for your card, many applauded as oranges, fearlessness in shedding lights on the murky side of armed conflict. he was showered with the woods and voted readers' choice. the time person of you have in

2010, but so many others. the leaks with nothing short of treason and a song is a dangerous enemy of the states. in november, 20 time swedish authorities issued interest florence for saunders off the 2 women accused him of sexual assault. and right, he lost the legal battles of flight extradition to sweden, bottom file, a song short refuge in london's ecuadorian embassy. the embassy would become his home for the next 7 years. spots in 2019. the echo during embassy had had enough of its controversial logia police, were invited in interested his own. now he's facing exposition to the us. something he supports us feel is an attack on free speech itself, right? in this case, has alarming implications for journalism and trust. freedom around the world, not least of all as he would be. the 1st publisher tried under the us espionage act, which lots of public interest defense. we would add from reporters without borders that there should be a political solution, but that it must involve no further time in prison. for julian in any country

should have shown she's appeal be thrown out by the courts. he's mixed impulsively . final hope to avoid exposition may rest with the european court human rights. a t w correspond to paragraph nasa is at london's high court where the hearing for julian massage is taking place. so you've just been inside the court. tell us a little bit more about what's happening here again today, sir, is the day with julian hassan has the most searching out that case and then a knob. human has to be in this morning that it's a political case and a search he is covered by freedom of speech and he should not be expedited. now it's interesting. i've just been able to speak to julian hassan, his brother gabriel ships. and, and he said, had said to me that the family of these is in the cycle hoping that there will be a political solutions that behind the scenes that governments are working together . and that there is

a process behind the scenes and that's what he's hoping would bring just as far as brother that's. that's what he said to me. you also said that they are quite concerned about his brother's health. he wasn't, if i wasn't able to physically be able to attend the court hearing today, and that's something that continues to worry. the family of course, and a sondra supporters. what are they saying? yeah, it's very live the outside code. it's. i've been, i've been covering julian hassan just case and various hearings for over over the years. and this is a really big crowd of support as i've spoken to people from as far as australia who i've come. yeah. do to support joining us on people from germany. there are human rights organizations. there are journalists, organizations, members of parliament. and they will say that he's a job of those and a search he doesn't dissolves to be in prison. that's all. or we've spoken to a few people on cameras so. so let's have

a list. what they had say of the sanchez's speak is a truth teller. he is not a criminal. he shouldn't have even spend one second in any prison. why am i here? because it's the most important political decision in the entire world for every one that we have a free press. it's just basically just the freedom of press that and freedom of speech that should be supported, always seeing more censorship occurring. and if he's expedited, then it's a little bit of a shot down full media and freedom of the press. if his appeal fails, what happens next year? good. so his report a said that he could be on the plane of use ro, straight to a of, to the 2nd day tomorrow, expecting the, the us to put for what that case i need to purchase. i fearing that he could be well straight straight to the runway. however, what they in this case would be doing, they would appeal to the european court of human rights and they would hope that

then that way they could prevent the such an action. however, we don't know if we got a body straight away, it might also be that the quote decides that it needs some more time in order to discuss this latest implication of the states ramble of, of julian hassan has legal case here. get mass outside of london's high court. thank you. to and dollars will be on the un security council later today. we're a vote on a new ceasefire. resolution for gaza is expected to take place. the u. s. has already said that it plans to veto the old jerry a sponsor plan and has instead proposed its own. now a pause and the fighting can't come soon enough for the thousands of children now facing hunger and malnutrition inside gaza, with the un children's agency. unicef issuing a stark new warning about the lack of food, water and health surfaces. pushing the bows and pot,

hoping to fill their stomachs and provide for their families. many of these children survive on one meal a day and have access to less than one letter of water per day. you know, i used to have chicken rice and many delicious dishes. now we survive on kind food . yes, and i love this woman is worried about her 2 year old, who now ways half of what she should after measuring her arm, doctors say she's suffering from acute nutrition and haven't gotten fish white, the 4th or i was able to get her medication. now i can't find any of the things i need for her. also, i need a head to do an agency's warrant. the 10000 children under 5 years old could be affected by the same condition, is not provided with humanitarian assistance as it has um,

as. busy medium and long term implications. the short uh, implications would be that it gets us to is always the weakness of explosion and preventable tried tests which could, uh, with components the, um, bootable level, health of drug test. and does that, you know, and this is on the short them as i've said nothing because changes rates of infection, anemia, and stomach diseases have risen sharply. a situation that could get worse in the coming days. and dw is, i mean that's a f, as in jerusalem, he explained why there are 2 un resolutions on the table right now to address these issues as the differences and the differences between them. the difference is a lot smaller than you might expect both call for samantha terry and cease fire and the release of all hostages. but it boils down to the timeline for when this should

happen. the algerian proposal says that it should be immediate, whereas the us alternative says that it should have an only after negotiations. so the word they use is as soon as practicable. that's because the us is worried that a resolution calling for an immediate cease fire could sabotage the ongoing talks between israel and tomas to negotiate some kind of hostage release and exchange for communitarian pause and fighting that has stalled recently as israel essentially pulled out of the talk saying that a mazda is demands, we're delusional, but the us is still pushing for those. what's interesting to note here is that this is the 1st resolution that may be proposed by the us that uses the word seeds fire . so you can see that the criticism of israel from the, by the end of discretion, is increasing. they also, in this proposal the us proposal explicitly warned against and evade ground assault on rafa. where $1300000.00 thousands are sheltering, saying that it would be

a security risk and humanity or in disaster. yeah. and to add to that criticism, they're also saying that israel needs to have a credible plan to protect civilians if they were indeed to go into rasa as they say that they well, do you have the sense that they're in israel, that the government is taking this criticism on board publicly they have been very dismissive of calls even by their closest allies to delay or um, basically you get to get rid of their plans for ground. the salt on rafa is saying that it's, it's going to happen. they have now suggested a timeline for that, saying that if all of these really hostages are not released by ramadan, which begins on march 10th, that they will go through with a ground assault on rafa saying of that as well that they would come up with a plan to make sure that civilians are safe, but they haven't published any of these plans. and a lot of countries around the world believe that that would be impossible to keep

simply and safe because there's nowhere else to go in the gaza strip. so the international pressure is growing, but it's also important to note that the us and germany, which are close allies of israel and are putting pressure on is real not to go through with this ground assault. they have not need any kind of a, uh, basically threats against israel saying that if you go through with it, we will do this. so it's unclear why is real, should listen to this. these calls to postpone a, an evasion in the short term. anyway. i mean, i said thank you here's look at some other stories making headlines. the german defense minister for the story is, has said that a plan to mission to come back to the attacks. and the red sea shows that the west commitment to protect international security and freedom of navigation. historians made those comments while visiting the frigate heston, which is in route to the area, the worship of sales for the region. once the bonus tag approves the mission later
