it was a put up that the police intentionally handed them documents precisely so they could arrest them and charge them under the official secrets act by any international measure of judicial process has been a farce so far right it's been a travesty of justice the government of nobel laureate aung san suu kyi is facing international condemnation after a military crackdown on the range a minority that the u.n. has called textbook at nick lancing it is estimated that thousands were killed more than seven hundred thousand have fled to bangladesh in a recent interview she did night the case against a two journalists is connected to the investigation into the killings of. what i'm trying to achieve while the elections three years ago maybe i'm ian martin from one of the most restricted in asia to one of the freest of these new freedoms didn't last long rights groups say that now media me and my have become a not a victim of the crackdown against go ahead. minority the committee to protect

a mission for america. it's about the idea that. affords dongle braised. it's about it's about the believing in your dreams it's about that . as a filmmaker i would want my audience to support that when men begin first as a unit i would definitely want my audience to be a jumble with it and say yes this is what i want and. i have tried to be very honest with the film the story isn't mine yes i. repaired off from my sister was a childhood incident she was the one who planted chocolate all of them so i have put in the lumens of my childhood elf but i suppose in my influences that i've had . the little incidents that used to take place in my own backyard i have cried a little bit of everything to stay honest to the whole thing but still big the whole even from my point of view. i'm trying to create that language where this kid

is a shy kid and he doesn't speak all that is how i ended up not giving him more. than a word the need to be i wanted him to express through the eyes i just didn't want to shout and scream and cry just assure that his discipline i wondered something which is very subtle that he expresses but it's very an expression is a shy kid although he doesn't speak he would still stand up for his dreams but his believe. the nation will give you a lot of difficulty because you know the rules but when it when it comes down the flipping those pages an understanding animation of everything goes for cost at least my first five line drawings follow and forth all because i don't know what the book like i did and they were not working on though there was this one man that i started to like and i said yes i'm going to go it's really ok.

i can't tell you the number of problems that i phased out. bang my head was i would not have been on a mission right when it came that owns i laid my mind was always walking in one particular direction because i have been born and brought up but those are the images that have come across all the bank so i know what i sat good with all i ever knew my exposure maybe a school or two that i ended up doing the same bank owns all that by. mixing what along with digital it gives you more freedom then it kind of gave me the opportunity late going forward about that on long on a digital and then who's these are not totally their shows and all luck and knowledge of them and that i'm good an image their lives with really appeals. if i have to visualize my kitchen. i don't visualize

a dark blue because those are the on those that i haven't been in no make that when i see it i see here that there could have been a better shot then i could have taken a shot sort of an establishment. you know the follow on building the nomination i just wanted to call it what i what my mind makes me think like the immediate damage that comes to my mind is when i will go away. from this one phone because of the kind of film and those and also tell you about the soul of this guy and i i just wanted to follow the sword i just wanted to before i make. stuff as if it doesn't have structure i don't mean it's ok and i'm fine with that that will.

one of the biggest problems facing our oceans and the loss of seagrass meadows one check rule for roughly fifteen percent of the ocean's total carbon storage perhaps or they hoped why for so much carbon dioxide as rain forests and they're also question marine habitats for many endangered oceans species. but here on al

corn slew in central california the tide could be turning for seagrass thanks to some unexpected allies. oh yeah i mean here. this nine hundred hectare as she wary is where rivers throughout this region meet the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertilizer and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate ecosystem so having farmers so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well i mean were you coastal environments close to urban centers coastal environments close. you get problems like this. it grows with touches the rocks it eventually starts the composing over half of the world sea grass meadows are in decline but here in al corn slew they're making

a surprising comeback. oh wow. at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation's appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade. sea otters the crabs lower crop numbers allows smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass by eating algal build up on the leaves they allow sunlight

to reach the plants. because sea otters are so crucial to the ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tag them with radio devices. so the farmer here worked really well. so it was probably very close. what's the purpose of proper we go out seven days a week is to go out and find individuals see where they are what they're doing. the other part of it is this just so we can understand the distribution of orders in this area what are they eating and how are they doing health wise there is one right there that's three four nine six so that beeping is an arm that peeping is from the radio transmitter that's surgically implanted in her. system ok. why don't you take a look yet you're out in there. along

the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against. groupings of packs of single living crowd especially the same grass an advantage again so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world will it have a knock on that potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we wiped out we have a great potential for restoring the health of that system.

limited services have reached a breaking point beyond the people in cattle evacuate we have to inject was still lying in the streets and two of those who were taken away. in the oil rich city of basra like across the country security forces are on high alert they've used water cannon and tear gas blocking protesters from storming the main provincial government building. with growing protests people have recorded an internet shut down and disconnected telephone lines but that given that he's seen those who assault the institutions of the state and the security forces and its investments disrupt the aspirations of the people he should be held to account but. unrest has been simmering over the past week against a backdrop of political instability following may's contested and unresolved election results protesters have blocked roads and burned tires. and in the city of najaf they stormed the airport and the ruling party's headquarters security

since the twenty fourteen gaza war at least two palestinian teenagers were killed israel says the strikes were in response to border protests and rocket fire from hamas houses there has been a smith has been to visit the area hit by the israeli firepower here's his report. so you can see the power of this israeli air strike and the destruction it's brought on this deserted building israel says it was being used by hamas as an urban training facility but the problem is that when that airstrike came in there were families and children playing in the late afternoon sun in this park and those families and children gathered this morning to protest against what happened yesterday because two teenage boys who were here with their families were killed when those airstrikes came in people he fed up they want relief they want people to break the siege for them and that's all they can do pretty much all they can do

just send balloons sent flying kites and we've seen that no israelis were killed no one was undone while on the palestinian side one hundred more than one hundred thirty five people killed when you have. that you do it you'll. guard sites and kill people kill it target the children so i don't think it's a public wage and then learns does not equal. life so there is enormous frustration here that after more than three and a half months of protests at the border fence to try and get some relief from the blockade the twelve year old blockade and siege of gaza this is what they get instead and that frustration is what has been leading to these intensified clashes and confrontations with israel and the concern is that there is not some sort of long term solution to ending the siege or at least are leaving. the siege of gaza then one of these confrontations could spiral into outright full scale conflict

with the un special coordinator for the middle east peace process has arrived in gaza he says the cycle of violence between palestinians and israelis must end yesterday we were on the brink of war and it has taken the concerted efforts of everyone to make sure that we step back from a confrontation a confrontation that nobody wants nobody needs and a confrontation from which everybody would lose a list indians in gaza for the last decade who lived through three conflicts israelis across the fence who live with a constant threat of rocket attacks for the last decade this cycle custer stop it has to end. at least seven people have died in a suicide bombing in afghanistan's capital kabul police said the target was a u.n. vehicle that was trying to enter the ministry of rural rehabilitation and development six other people were wounded.

council has officially been handed the reins and the right to host the twenty twenty two football world cup russia's president vladimir putin passed the ball to catalyze a mere five feet first president of the handover ceremony in moscow this year's tournament will end well in the last two hours time when france fans face croatia in an all european final in less than an hour and us a little over two hours from now. it is so important that we can be here together today in this iconic place in the kremlin to mark a pass of a ball from the organizer of twenty eight into the organizer of twenty twenty two

world cup this is football this passion it is emotion it is love it is family it is unity and. these sentiments that we have been feeling here in russia we transferred them to qatar. we will try to make it an excellent world cup because this event is very important for the whole region as you know many arab countries face difficulties well couple help us overcome them let's go live to moscow i was here as were a challenge as. president putin looked pretty satisfied with the way that his world cup has gone has he right to be. yeah i think so by pretty much all available metrics this has been a good world cup in fact yani in front fee for president said

a couple of days ago that it was the best world cup ever it has been a wonderful month or one of a good football a month of see some footballing upsets with countries like germany and argentina going home early but in most regards i think russia has acquitted itself very well there have been no major security hick ups or organizational catastrophes things have gone smoothly this is a huge country the biggest in the world and fans have had to travel great distances to visit the different matches from callinan grad in the west out to. the that the furthest eastern most city in the world cup lineup things have gone well and the russians have i think acquitted themselves well to most people perhaps. that this country was a little bit different to how they found it when they arrived in welcomes into

russian cities by their russian hosts and there were great scenes on the streets of moscow in the daytime when fans and russians were partying before the matches and then after the matches all through the night particularly in the days when russia itself plays a yes this is been. good world cup for russia putin i think had had essentially made winning the world cup as a hosting nation one of his prime objectives when you go to in two thousand and ten he flew out. to take the owner personally but actually in the tournament itself the kremlin and putin itself have largely stepped aside and left russians to do the ambassadorial work for themselves and it's worked so the football has now been handed past rather to work to cast mia russia twenty eight and castle twenty two are going to be very very different tournament so they were.

well exactly i mean i was talking there about the size of russia the biggest country in the world it's handing over to cats are one of the smallest countries in the world russia's population is roughly a million and a half sorry are hundreds and a half million whereas. cats ours is less than one million of native catteries so we've got a great population handing over to a small population we have a european country handing over to a middle eastern one we have a northern climates handing over to a desert climates these are going to be very very different competitions different experiences i think for the fans who are going to be traveling gianni said that he had fallen in love with russia in his time here and he hopes that he would fall in love just as much with cats are the cattery amir said that he would like to repeat

some of the success of the host nation here russia on the football pitch rusher of course not very much fancied going into this competition but the lowest ranked team in the tournament actually did very well got through to the quarter finals despite being no footballing giants well cats are in four years time will have their work cut out for them they've never qualified for a world cup before rory many think sounds as it was worry chelas that live in moscow kickoff in moscow in was just over. forty five minutes time. now u.s. president all trouble fly to finland on sunday before a summit with russia's leader vladimir putin trump insists that he'll meet president putin alone and that's worrying diplomats from our diplomatic editor james bays. helsinki a city that joining the cold war was used as one of the few places where western allies and the soviet union could talk some believe relations are almost at
