been illegally moved to russian hill territories, and placed in institutions and foster homes. moscow says it's protecting orphans an unaccompanied miners from war. the international criminal court has issued an arrest warrant for prison, put in citing this cause. moscow denies any wrong doing al jazeera is doing a whole has more from keith. what were they doing that? how did they get there? all sorts of reasons, really, that would have taken them from the seeds to occupied areas of ukraine, in this case, mostly from the southern city of her song to russia. some simply finding themselves on the wrong side of shifting front lines. others taken from care homes or orphanages, russia you see, present all this is a sort of humanitarian operation. it says it goes in and saves rescues. children have been abandoned in care homes and orphanages behind the lines. it admits to moving to 1000 children in this way from ukraine to russia, and that's an operation that president putin has spoken approvingly about. ukraine

of course, sees things very differently. indeed, they see this is a much wide program, much more systematic, they've recorded, they say upwards of 19000. in fact, cases of illegal deportation are holding children in russia against their will. and they call these crimes crimes that are happening. they say on an ongoing basis in real time and in plain sight in russia, funeral has been held for the influential military blog of blood in petoskey. in moscow, he was killed in a bomb attack at a cafe in saint petersburg. last week to dusky was known for his vocal support of the war in ukraine dosage. a very report for moscow. ah, a grandfather well for one of the rushes, well known military bloggers, the body of 40 year old flatland, or turkey was brought to the throne group sky, a cemetery moscow, where hundreds attended, including the head of the wagner verse near a group. if any promotions here were loveland to tar sky did

a lot so that we could go to victory and destroy the enemy. thank you for this. we will always remember him. he is a soldier who stays with us on whose voice will always live and speak only the truth. after our task is killing last week, president vladimir potent award. i have one of the highest honors for bravery. under heavy security p waited in line for hours with many of whom you charge you personally. if you will read a link might have been very and never get it. i think that the best way to make his memory of life is the believe this war. it was a man for whom the victory was most important thing in the world. his wife accompanied the coffin as his body was laid to rest. petoskey was a vocal supporter of the war, and ukraine flatland, tars keys being remembered as

a russian hero. and at the end of his funeral, a video of him was shown where he said victory will be ours. for now, only one person has been arrested in connection to his murder, whilst federal security services believe and organized group was behind the attack in saint petersburg on april 2nd, 26 year old. daria triple bar is now facing a possible 20 year prison sentence. she faces charges of terrorism and possession of explosives and she's ation. she's denied security footage from the day of the attack appears showed through pover carrying a bus up to tar sky that she had the to him at this cafe. moments later, the explosion happens. as the pro crumley supporters lay to rest, official fear have stepped up, their search for others who they believe may have been involved in this attack. doors the jabari arch, sierra moscow battle falcon hower is a defense of military analysts. he says to task was a hero to some in russia, but not to everyone. he was well known and may be

a hero for those who support his position. but i believe this funeral. oh yes, there was. and regarding the leader of the wagner grew some politicians, but what was absent was russian official. them and the represent hi, representatives of the defense ministry, but this fight being the war with ukraine. 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 or motel . so bloggers are self employed and they sometimes do criticize the execution of the special operation, not the operation that is out that they,

that they support. but there's been lots of mismanagement. they are critical of the, quite often of the military high command. as is getting pre goes on the chief of wagner. i grew a mercenary groups. that means that the, the are these influencers, ah, not always told to in tune with the russian officialdom in the us politicians from across party lines accounting for the release of wall street journal reporter warranty journal report, arrested in russia last week. democratic and republican leaders of the senate issued a very joint statement condemning evan guest of his detention is pleaded. not guilty to charges of espionage. the kremlin accuses him of spying for the u. s. government, a white house correspondent. kimberly how get reports from the get go. as soon as the white house learned about the detention of having garage coach,

it has always denied the allegations against him. i asked for these formal charges that have now been leveled against him. ah, the white house is not in any way updating its response, but what i can tell you is that the state department official is saying that what it, the binding ministration is doing essentially is pressing for fair and transparent treatment. so really what they're saying is that they are going to continue to try and really defend him in these circumstances. and from bottom line is at the bottom, administration is really echoing that rare bipartisan a condemnation of the allegations that we've had in terms of that statement. that has come from capitol hill from the top senators. mitch mcconnell, as well as chuck schumer, essentially demanding the release of evan gerson ridge,

how they're trying to handle it. and so far it's been unsuccessful, has been to get what's known as concealer access, and the so the u. s. embassy in moscow has been working unsuccessfully, so far with the government in russia to try and get communication either trying to do this so that they can get the family in contact with the wall street journal reporter and also his employer. about what we've learned is so far, the process has been, i necessarily bureaucratic, the in the words of the state depart has been opaque in fact. and so what we're now learning is that it's going to be as some days before there is any sort of communication. gordon faircloth is the world coverage chief, or the wall street journal. he says he accusations against evan girth cove, a char, simply untrue. 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, the 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 of 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, which is 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 in other world news, at least 80 people have been kidnapped in northwest and i, jerry m gunmen targeted mostly women and children in a village in some far a state. police say they're working with the military to rescue the victims. the government just blamed criminal gangs for abducting hundreds of people in north and central nigeria for ransom. i mean, the dream has more from kind of the security forces still insisted they own a trail of these gunmen who abducted women and children who went old to do far morgan. also for the final, however, this marks an escalation ended violence being unleashed by these branded whatever's

. but you're bored with your older and the northwest part of larger and particularly in the past few months. there are fewer attacks as a result of the escalation of military have to reduce the area and one resident of the village. why these people are taken. told al jazeera this morning that in progress, suspect that it's in retaliation too. we're talking conducted by when our security forces on the capital of the standards in some put our state in particular. and of course 40 were recently some were arrested in that in the field of this could be, or the reason why we have seen this escalation recently the last time they heard about it or seen anything of this magnitude was a long term before the elections. so either said up to now with no contract from green or keep numbers or energy mine porras at an asian official says at least 20 people are missing. after their boat sank off the coast of the southern city of fox,

they were trying to cross the mediterranean and reach italy. the technician coast guard said 17 others from the same boat were rescued. 2 of whom are in critical condition. at least 500 migrants have been reported missing in the mediterranean so far. this yes, china has launched military drills around taiwan just days after the taiwanese president visited the u. s. saying when met, how speaker kevin mccarthy in a move that angered beijing type, he reported saturday that more than 70 chinese jets crossed the median line of the taiwan strait. the unofficial barrier between the 2 sides. chinese st. media say the military is rehearsing and in circle meant of the self governing island, which beijing sees as a breakaway province. carter lopez, ryan has more a mr. this meeting between taiwan president sign one and us officials in taipei has high political implications. on the mirror, the government says and needs international support,

as threats from china get louder and closer. my face to the young girl who went in, i would like to reiterate that the people of taiwan loved democracy, seek peace and are keen to for full. the responsibility in the international community, china considers taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out using force to take it. the u. s. s. it's ready to expedite weapons sales. as an off one of yours many, sharon i saw often or no, there's a one and i found no problem. we will lose weight. now china has launched 3 days of military exercises around taiwan, a response to the taiwanese president meeting earlier this week with us house speaker, kevin mccarthy. ah, ty wants a fighter jets responded with their own drills as fears grow about a possible escalation. that will be interesting to see just exactly how far the

chinese are prepared to push this. and if i do stop an inspect ships in the taiwan strait and the tall, any sign though, we're not going to comply them, there's the potential them for that to ascribe into some sort of extend your far. but china remains defiant. i ran and he, bush him. i mean to, when the taiwan issue was not about democracy, it's an issue concerning china sovereignty and territorial integrity. taiwan is an alias. so part of our country taiwan understands it needs international backing, especially from the united states. the question is whether it will be enough to deter beijing. katya low priscilla again al jazeera, still head on al jazeera. ah, the sobs are a small minority here in germany, living close to the polish and check republican border and steadfast retorted from spray round about how the sobs have managed to preserve this special easter
