a break from the war zone and when it turned into a 6 month ordeal in which he says he was subjected to demeaning treatment, indoctrination and propaganda. before his parents were able to contact one of these organizations that helps establish a parental link so that they could go in and get it back. brushes alleged deportation of these children is the basis of arrest warrants issued by the international criminal court for president putin. and his children's rights commission a little, they have to say about his well, russia frames all of this as a humanitarian operation, essentially going in and saving rescuing these children from the walls and taking them away from orphanages and, and cabs where they've been abandoned behind the front lines, it admits to taking in such a way some 2000 children. and in fact, that's a program that's been praised by vladimir putin. ukraine, of course, has an entirely different take on it. they believe this is far wider. it is much

more systematic involving much larger numbers. in fact, 19 and a half 1000 cases. they pointed to involving illegal deportation. they say, or children being held against their will in crimes, the ukrainian side says are ongoing happening in real time. and in plain sight. as 0 as jonah hall reporting live, some keeps capital from ukraine's capital case. many thanks, jonah. a funeral is been held for a prominent russian military blogger who was killed in a bombing attack on saint petersburg. cafe last sunday. hundreds of supporters of lapland tusky gathered for his funeral and moscow have a snow day, his vocal support of the invasion of ukraine, russian investigators of arrested and charged 26 year old woman in connection with the killing dos of jabari was up a funeral, a head of the wagner goof of guinea for goshen. i who was one of the 1st people to pay his respects to the coffin of the 40 year old blood lent

r tarkey. at earlier he said that he was a proud, proud member of this dead movement, really and posthumously has been made a member of the wagner group as well. he was a given a sledge hammer on the coffin, and that was inscribed with his name and thoughts that at the wagner group conveyed in their appreciation for the work that he did. we also spoke to a number of people who knew it starsky. one of his closest friends that we spoke to said that this is really a day of celebrating his life. they are not here to really mourn him, but to celebrate his achievements is being held as a hero of russia and, and that he wanted one thing and one thing only, and that is for russia to be a victorious in the war in ukraine. we also saw a number of politicians paying their respects at this event, which is heavily, heavily guarded by security forces. there was

a number of barricades as well as metal detectors that have been put up around the cemetery to control the crowds that were coming in public silken ha, is it a french military analyst? he says that to task, he was a hero to summit russia, but not to every one. he was well known and may be a hero for those who supported his position. but i believe this funeral ah, yes, there was an empty gordon. the leader of the wagner grew some politicians. but what was absent was russian official them and the represent high representatives of the defense ministry. but this fight being the war with the grain. so i had to some extent, he was a controversial figure because whoa, the official is the russian officials trying to kind of well separate themselves from him inside russia. you have these military correspondence of this burned media

organizations are motel. so bloggers who are, i'm self employed and they sometimes do criticize the execution of the special operation, not the apparition that is out that they, that they support. but there's been a lot of mismanagement there. critical of the, quite often of the military high command, as is getting pre course on the chief of wagner. i grew a mercenary groups. that means that, that of the are, these are influencers. ah, not always told to in tune with the russian official them in the us politicians from across party lines are calling for the release of the wall street reporter who was arrested in russia last week. the democratic republic leaders, republican leaders of the senate, have issued

a red joint statement condemning evan gush curvatures detention. he's pleaded not guilty to charges of espionage. the criminal accuses him of spying for the u. s. government, he's the 1st american journalist attained in russia on espionage charges since the end of the cold war. gordon faircloth is the world coverage chief for the wall street journal. he denied accusations leveled against good commission kutrovitch. our lawyers were able to meet with him during this past week, and they report that he is in good spirits and good health. we certainly hope that's true. as you are noting earlier, your state department continues to say it's been denied, constantly access to evan, which is certainly worrying to us. evans, a journalist, and we've been trying to say this is loudly and forcefully as we can. he was out there reporting. that's what he does. he was very passionate about the russia story . thought it was very important for the outside world to be able to hear the voices

of russian people and to no one understand what's going on in russia at this moment . and you know, you'll have seen probably the white house press secretary last night tweeted evan girl, which is not a spine. he has never been a spy. yes, never worked for the u. s. government and the wall street journal, also, vehemently can i see legation suggestion? i think we've seen a real creeping criminalization of journalism over the past year in russia, which is just frightening, frankly, for the folks they are trying to do their jobs. journalists are routinely followed and surveilled on one recent assignment, when, as i was reporting from a town near the russian ukraine border, multiple security officers were following him and, and then would speak to people that evan spoke with. we think in an effort to intimidate, at least 18 people have been kidnapped in northwestern. nigeria,

come and targeted mostly women and children at a village in some far estate on friday. police say that they're working with the military to rescue the victims. the government's blamed criminal gangs for abducting hundreds of people in north and central nigeria for ransom. let's go live that a condo. i'll just say i'm an address is following developments. what more do we know about the said kidnapping summit? what basically, a head rim. the security forces is still insist that they own a trail of these gunmen who abducted women and children who went out to do a far more can also filed for the bushes. however, this box and escalation in the palace being unleashed by these bandits, whatever was by necessity for to see a folder in the northwest part of nigeria. and particularly in the past few months, there are fewer attacks as a result of the escalation of military activity in that area. and one resident of the village why these people are taken. told al jazeera this morning that in fact,

they suspect that it's in retaliation to the attack stage, conducted by the security forces on the, the camps of this band. it's in some sort of state in particular and of course brought to you recently some why arrested in that it. and they feel that this could be the reason why they've seen this escalation. recently, the last time they heard about it or seen, anything of this magnitude was a long trap before the elections. so are they said up to now with no contract from the kidnappers, or any demand put on. so security was a major issue in the recent election in nigeria, is that been any progress or tangible efforts to improve things by authorities the well in the north central parts of nigeria, they've been reports of violence recently. i think the past 2 or 3 days in north

central nigeria participate. we just see it's fair amount of these. i touch i between 5 most and canceled high just in that area. the control, the crumbled 40 saucers. watson by climate change of cost. population explosion shows that there are competing demands on site farm. it's alleging the hardest pushing the most into their problems to sort of destroy their crops while they cut the largest value system. that's the problem. i have left a traditional farming area and on a course on probably goods and induct particular that's the result of which we see this condition in these attacks, especially most popular especially in the recent attack happens. so we are continuing to see these escalation. and what about who takes all the power, especially the new president, and when he takes over power on may 29th he's going to see is going to have to get

with all these problems. violence in the north west. these attacks in central parts nigeria keep not be all set niger delta and better parts of the country. so this is a big issue. it has been a big issue and it will continue to be to be a big issue for the incoming administration is out there as of an address reporting neither cono in northern jury of any thanks to date on this. china has begun ministry drills around taiwan just days after the taiwanese president visited the u . s. she met how speak a kevin mccarthy in a move that angered beijing. taipei reported on saturday. the ball than 70 chinese jets crossed the median lion of the taiwan straits. the unofficial barrier between the 2 sides, chinese slate media. so the military is rehearsing and encirclement of the self governing island, which beijing sees as a break away province. katya lopez, hot. i am reports legal with mr. king this meeting between ty,
