a representative from the organization for security and cooperation in europe wrote on twitter relieved that our. is alive i deplore the decision to spread false information on the life of a journalist it is the duty of the state to provide correct information to the public and the committee to protect journalists said this extreme action by the ukrainian authorities has the potential to undermine public trust in journalists and to meet outrage when they are killed in russia where ukraine says the attempt on his life originated the government has described the affair as an anti russian provocation the story is strange to say the least i don't know how much the end justifies the means in this story thank god that person is alive it does not change your attitude towards ukraine a country where being a journalist is dangerous it does not change the core of the situation the only thing this is changed is that thank god this person is still alive the kremlin and state controlled media are drawing parallels between fake death and the

poisoning of the script powells in the u.k. both see russia accused both are described here as equally fantastical the suggestion is that nothing can be believed anymore much will depend on where you cranes investigation goes next police arrested the alleged middleman in the murder plot identified as. prosecutors need to back up their claims with evidence only then can you crane argue with more certainty that this was all worth it. al-jazeera moscow. the only the our. business updates. going places to get.

to our. thanks mary umbrella madrid manager then again the don has quit the european champions after winning an unprecedented third straight champions league title the frenchman called a surprise news conference earlier on ending a three year career with the spanish the dan says it felt like the right time to make a change. look at. this club needs to keep winning and for that it needs a change after three years it needs a different voice a different method and that's why i made this decision because i really love this club and also the president who gave me the chance to come as

a player to real madrid this great club and for that i'll be for ever grateful i mean mickelson running but i would have liked to have convinced him but i know his character and the only thing that i can do is to offer my love support and recognition and remember although he knows it that this club will always be his family the dam played for around madrid between two thousand and one and two thousand and six before replacing rafa benitez as manager in two thousand and sixteen he won one hundred four of the one hundred forty nine games in charge of madrid twenty nine were drawn and that would just sixteen defeat the one nine trophy the no including the champions league titles his departure make them just the second coach off to get behind kids in two thousand and thirteen to leave a club straight after winning it that and also how to fail when one league title two spanish supercuts and two fifa club world cups our sports correspondent lee welling talks about the reaction to the dons departure. within this short response to this absolutely has to be a surprise because he's

a young manager relatively forty five years old and has just won the biggest competition in european club football actually world club football three times in succession what a success he's made of that job so to suddenly broke away from that will certainly have people questioning it wondering why he's doing it but the more you hear from the down about this the more it makes sense he's actually feeling that he's taken the club as far as they can go and that he can't go into further success with this side which makes sense when you think about it brown would do it of course already deserved triumph in the champions league but there's no guarantee that they're going to build on that for next season they do need to make changes and now the club you say they have to do that with a new manager and actually i think there's a bigger picture here if you look at the french national team the french football association are understandably huge fans of that everything he did for them as a player and now what he's achieving as

a manager and they would like him managing national take didier to sean has been in the job for six years now which is a long time for a national manager he takes them to the world cup in washington i don't think the shop will carry on beyond that world cup and it will be a really good time to get it done in getting used to the job before the next major tournament for france but just rewind a little bit when's it done signed up for i would do it as manager in twenty six days in having had a couple of years with that. there was a big question mark by him a lot of critics a lot of city and what a success he made of that job. period has been given a huge base to head of it's fast world cup the parents and thirty think the years that kept him paolo get out o. had been cleared to play in the tournament after a swiss court agreed to temporarily lift his doping ban get out i was given a fourteen months of tension after testing positive for cocaine. three time champion three no williams has booked her place in the third round at the french
