9:04 pm
i think it's those 2 mentioned here that searching countries on the 15 member body backed algeria resolution by the new k of stand and the us veto that. okay, so help us understand the main differences then between the old jerry and proposal, which was vetoed in washington's own proposal. right, so the difference lies in the requirements that need to be fulfilled. the draft resolution proposed by the u. s. calls for a temporary cease fire. as soon as practicable. i haven't done the condition that all hostages are released. however, it is unclear if or when the security council will vote on the form of was proposed by washington. okay, and, and this is the 1st time that the us has used this would ceasefire. isn't that what, what does this say about its current relations with israel?
9:05 pm
right, so this really mugs a moment the by that ministration has not only come under a mens international pressure to use it's leverage to a randomness ropes, devastating operations a bug bite on it's also facing intense pressure from members of his own party to speak more forcefully on the situation and gaza and of course in this election year and this election which is just beginning, he's also risking bite and is also risk going to lose important vote of bodies like young voters or arab americans because of his support for israel. and his thanks so much the update us, the www. washington bureau chief and his port styles are, as he's in russia, has opened a new criminal case against the brother of the late russian opposition. leda alexei nev. i'll need all leg navarro in a scene here in file associated with his brother was already on the wanted list for

another master in 2014 or like nev only was sentence 23 and a half. he is in prison for fraud. in a case the kremlin critics said was trumped up. now police say they have opened a new case, but have notes here on val, details of the charges of this comes off to the mother of alexi and alexa val and he made a direct appeal to let him in person for alexys body to be released. his death was announced by russian authorities last friday cuz it might have been the who is behind me is the prison colony where my son alex say, navarro new, died on february 16th for 5 days. i have not been able to see him means that they have not released his body to me and have not even told me where it is. yeah, but as i appeal to you, letting me approaching. 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
9:07 pm
so that i can bury him properly to light duplicate. and we also dw russia, unless konstantin got what he makes of the new criminal case that's been opened against alexa invalid his brother, all like 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 verify that i think it's 5 years um and probably he's not going to offer to be arrested. but if you look at the way, uh, for example, truth is regime use try to do use at least the enter palmer's or as you move all 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 it on the roof. on less konstantin, i got, the russia has banned the us from the broad cost of radio, free europe, radio,
9:08 pm
liberty designating it as quote, an undesirable organization. and move, but the radio free europe stuff contributes has at increased risk of prosecution. one of its editors, also comb or shave, is already being held in prison in russia, pending trial for electrically spreading false information, ready for you, or if is the latest broad costa to receive this designation. the kremlin has increasingly been using it to crack down on descent, ever since it's full scale invasion of ukraine. now this broad cost of dw was also banned in early 2022 from reporting from russia, and was shortly lisa classified as a so called foreign agent. let's get more now from your a russia. so he was the head of the w's moscow bureau before it was closed down by all source, easy reports. now from rica you're 8. can you tell us more about what this bond means to radio free europe for journalists and contributes,
9:09 pm
is of all the status of an undesirable organization. and you know, he's a pretty bad status, much more dangerous than to the status of a so called for an agent called duration with a for an agent is not the finest, at least in theory. of course, many people are afraid to work with the so called for an agents bought in paralegal terms. so this has no consequences to this day. to simply means that the person organization is financed from abroad and carries out. so called political work because the fact that the visa is interpreted differently, the practice is something else. it's a completely different meta. if you've work with a desirable organization, these can have serious illegal consequences. first warning is issued, then the person working with or supporting which much better and worse as they are, the so called undesirable organization is threatened uh with the criminal charges. the penalty can be a fine of the equivalent of 3000 to euros, or is

9:11 pm
but the interpretation of the law is to who is for an agent in russia and who is not is now still broad. the law is so vague, julie, from florida, it, is that the just about anyone who receives even one euro from a 4 in the post something on their account on social networks, for example, could be classified as a farm agent. this list is now very low in russia, and we as a w, i also on it before we go up to the status of we will band in russia 1st our most go office was closed off, the 20 is organization was withdrawn and at the same time i went to the tunnels and our website to well blocked, but we haven't been silenced. we have continued to report on russia. meanwhile for 2 years now, just in exile here in riga is a lot to in capital t w's erie russia. so reporting from rica here, a thank you so much. okay, let's take a look. now,

9:18 pm
enough got to stand on direct some of the footage with shocking, seemingly implicating us troops impossible, war crimes. you know, if a sondra is appeal sales, his backers fear his lives could be at stake. stage many of his supporters believe he's being targeted for exposing serious criminal acts by us. that's hard. he's on the military. he is not a 180 prison. campaigners pressing for his release war in this case could signal a larger threat. he would be the 1st publishers trying under the not in this way. and that is why it is so dangerous. we've seen that law being used
9:19 pm
against whistle blower, but never before against a publisher like this. so what is that steak is really concerning? while it's not know when the verdict will come, many already fear the possible effects on the free flow of information worldwide. if all else fails, intervention by the european court of human rights may be sandra's final hope. the w corresponded book at mazda is at london's high course where the hearing is taking place. she told my colleague, sarah kelly more about the appeal by us on today, sir, is the day with julie to sound just the most searching of that case. and them a knob human has been this morning that it's a political case and as such, 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 to me, it has said to me that the family is in the sack law, hoping that there will be
9:20 pm
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 physically able to attend the cold hearing today and, and that's something that continues to worry, the family of course, or the w as the most in london. now he is considered hollywood royalty with the body of work spending decades and over 4 feet feature films. and so it seems on the 1st thing that monson school saves. he should be handed an honorary golden bear award for his lifetime achievement of this. he is berlin film festival, the buddy not a, is a look at his par and pioneering work and his career for your suicide, you jump if you didn't tell him to leave to go. i told him to leave the martin

synonymous with his hometown, new york's gritty motto underbelly to nero's unforgettable performance marketing the beginning of decades of collaborations in talking to me talking me in taxi driver, the do o told the disturbing tale of a vietnam war veterans angry of session with new york city streets scorsese's own cam here when the film as a murder is passenger is enough to give anyone shells. or i'm gonna kill him with a 44 magazine test scores as he's fascination with the quantity of new york spans centuries. back to 1863 with gangs of new york. he brought history to color for blood to filled life and turn his other lead man heart throb, leonardo dicaprio into a bona fide grown up star under broadway twists. when do you care about the scandal? rags? how every time is a picture of you with another woman. it's like
9:23 pm
a step in the face. don't you understand them all that's over stating it just just a bit. so cross, i didn't jo rogers, linda don now joan fontaine and no but david dot state martin square. so in 2007 square says he finally took home the best director, oscar for the departed. perhaps not his last. the 81 year old says he can't imagine a time when he'll stop making movies. he's already made enough for the lifetime achievement award at this year's barely knowledge. the dw culture reports that david levitz joins us now live from the bell in ali. red carpet david was happening this evening who the scene, what have you heard? well anyhow, martin scorsese is expected to be appearing here on the right carpet any 2nd. sharon stone just appeared an actress, one of his few leading ladies and a huge black capes. you've got plenty of applause,
9:24 pm
so i think we're gonna be hearing more tears any 2nd now from martin scorsese, the man of the hour? absolutely, i mean, he's been awarded this under a lifetime achievement award, hasn't he? he's known for producing films that contain extreme violence, profound to see the beloved lines between good and evil. i mean, there is some pretty dogs themes the and yet people just keep talking to his films that like that's right. you know, i think what's riveting about square size these films is that there are actually aren't really any good guys, at least not in the lead roles. and he really does focus on the dark sides of humanity, particularly of man, let's be honest. and that, that goes back actually to his own biography, his childhood growing up in new york city is little italy pressing soldiers with members of the mob as a child and a young man. and he really wanted to know and explore how people could function within that kind of world. and he's really leaned into that if you will. that's also, by the way, the reason that some people know many,
9:25 pm
but some people don't like his feelings. they're going back to the 19 seventy's. there have been people even going back to the taxi driver who have said that his films are more of a celebration of the brutality of the killing, of the bad language that we see so much of in his films, there are people, especially with the wealth of wall street who said that it was too much of a celebration of greed and access, even in his latest film we are, we in order dicaprio and killers of the flower moon. it's not really clear if there's anything redeeming about him or if he's just a plain sociopath and there are some people crews say that square says he needs to take more of a moral line, but he needs to distance himself or somehow give us a clear signal that he's condemning his characters. scorsese for his part says that he's not going to do that, that he would find that frankly boring me. he's known as well. isn't he for standing up to the studios for standing up for, for what he thinks is right. tell us more about that. right square says the see
9:26 pm
cinema as an art. he sees himself as an artist and he doesn't like it when the studios get in the way of his art. i take, for example, the part of the movie, the one, the oscar warner brothers wanted to change the ending. they didn't want scorsese to kill off his main character because they wanted to leave room for a sequel and making more money. well, the square says he didn't have it, he got his way and he got the oscar. he also had plenty of fights with harvey weinstein. on the 2 films the wind seemed produced as his over the budget. and in general square says he's very critical of the studio system, trying to make more money, particularly with more franchises, more sequels the marvel comics, the series a film says he said are not art. and he and he's stood by that david will have to leave it there, but thankfully much. so it's the w culture report said david levitz reporting live from the bell and all the and with that you are up today. so i'll be back to after school break to take you through the day,
