because of his work. he was one of the few who wrote the actual truth about what the russian federation is doing and if it wasn't dangerous for them if they did not care about it they would not have killed him. outside but jenkins kiev apartment police and journalists have been looking for answers. ukrainian police also suspect the crime was linked to his quote professional activities but the united nations ukraine's foreign minister suggested russia was to blame. of course it's a violent finding out who was behind it. and said this early to say we see simply is the russian presence there. but moscow is pushing back against the claims foreign minister sergey lavrov has denied russian links to the death dismissing the allegations as anti russian propaganda. and he. joins me now from the ukrainian capital kiev nick we heard bob chin good telling the. threats he

sensed in russia before he fled what more do we know about his situation there and his life in exile. could offer new numbers or well he had also said of his time the last few weeks he spent in moscow that he felt uncomfortable leaving his flat without a flak jacket on that he would austrians to accompany him because he feared specifically the scenario that in the happening to him yesterday namely people waiting for him in the stairwell as he came home. once in ukraine he continued his journalistic work he had a lot of readers on facebook mainly in russia but also here and he also hosted a show on a t.v. network named the crimean taught us so he continued his journalistic career here in ukraine the countries of the very close russian but in a city care with lots of russian emigres living here and among those immigrants

they are also russian dissidents what will this mud mean for them. well i would say you hear from people that they say they move house quite a lot that they change phone numbers all the time things which might seem to be. realty overblown but in this case but might might have helped there is a lot of nervousness but they also point to things like the script how situation in the u.k. that even being a nato member country being so much further away from russia in a country that maybe has a better resource security operates even being there is no guarantee of safety they say so that's a nervous we've seen before and one that looks set to continue to ride an economy in ukraine in the capital kiev thank you very much. did some of the stories making news around the world the so-called islamic state

just came to sponsibility for the attack on the afghan interior ministry that left one policeman dead a ministry spokesman said the raid had been thwarted and seven were traitors killed a series of deadly a source in kabul this year has killed and wounded hundreds of. these really military has released a video that it says shows myside strikes against dozens of militant sites in the gaza strip overnight it said the strikes were in the tally for attacks at southern israel launched by palestinian militants. belgian authorities say the man who killed three people in the city may have been vatican ised in prison he had a history of petty crime and drug offenses he converted to islam some years ago prosecutors are treating the case as terrorism the assailant was killed in a shootout with police. to italy now where prime minister designate card locatelli

says quote new possibilities have emerged for forming a government but there are no concrete details as yet been trying to put together a caretaker government to lead the country into early elections but all the uncertainty has rattled italians and worldwide confidence in third largest economy . one step forward two steps back just as it looked like italy would finally get a government it all fell apart the new prime minister designate carlo quarterly is bouncing between parliament and president simply trying to wrangle together a temporary cabinet meanwhile on the streets of rome confusion and disappointment abound. i am worried by the direction things are moving in it seems extremist against europe. so. there's a sense of confusion right now because there are serious problems to resolve which have more to do with italy and the problems of italians and the wider problem of

europe. and the politicians who are trying to help people have their hands tied because the stronger political forces when. she populist party is a five star movement and the league made better than expected gains in the election but were unable to form a government some reports say they're now trying to find a new power sharing compromise but more than anything new elections look likely. you all you did look was if i want to say two things we still want to go back to the polls as soon as possible but we are willing to collaborate including with the president. we want to be coherent but collaborative in order to resolve the current crisis it's certainly not a crisis we caused. the euro skeptic stance of these two leading parties has rattled markets over fears of a possible it'll exit from the e.u.

. now keeping track of these developments is due to visit she joins me now from rome any idea what call today means when he talks about new possibilities. new possibilities that are in fact old possibilities that's what he means because italian media largely say the cut. really is ready to give up to sort of form this caretaker government however the old partners the leg and the chin cristela the five star movement they said you know why don't we revive our marriage why don't we try again we didn't quite get divorced so let's just have a fresh start so it seems that they are no back in negotiations now one whole debt is going to look like and what the outcome of that can possibly be is completely open but will they offer up began the finance minister who brought down because last time do they have fresh personnel in mind what's happening behind the scene

nobody knows and the media tell you media and of course everybody else in the world is guessing what could be the next step and given all the unknown how realistic is it that the plan this of this event will be able to form a new government or oversee the forming of the new government. it it's there is no telling because he really has to approve i mean he once he interfered once now people can't really all the stelly and the lingo they can't the parties the populist parties can't really expect him to just roll over and say ok i said no first time so go ahead and just do what you like so he really still has to keep up some standards and we don't know whether they really want a full constitutional crisis and sort of being again offensive against material and offering something that is unacceptable all that is not clear obviously it seems that the whole game is back to square one and where we were like two weeks ago

which seems a rather rather ridiculous situation for italy and many italians you talk to in the street they just say we want a government we want somebody in this state of crisis who's leading us now of course the taint of political limbo removed and the prospect of fresh elections of course is very real if they are fresh elections whose liking to go most from them. at the moment if you look at the recent polls it would be the leader of the right wing populists was. who would be gaining because they've made good seven percent and they're up to twenty five percent now they could even become the biggest party after elections however if elections drag on over the summer italians have a chance to think again a lot can happen and hard to tell in summer and so we don't know there is no telling but at the moment it looks like they really are the big winners of this

chaotic situation. in the italian capitol hill thank you very much. now we've been hearing a lot about how germany are gearing up for the world cup but what about their first group opponents mexico they have how important lackluster start their preparations with a friendly draw against wales but they do have good pedigree and the evergreen captain could set a remarkable record next month in russia. his first world cup was back in two thousand and now rafael marquez is looking at making it to yet another. if mexico coach one carlos a story or names marquez in his final scores list the thirty nine year old could become the only player to have cats in his country at five world cups. and what an extraordinary career and i would say as a human being an example as well. as the session will be about what he can

contribute to the team on the field because off the field i think there's no debate that he is the player that can contribute the most of the team. a sorrier side will likely pose the biggest threat to germany in group ash. draw in a friendly against wales on tuesday wouldn't have had anyone quaking in their boots contract frankfurt's german cup winning the find a color south saito is confident his country will find form at the right time since . i have always those who don't believe mexico can have a great world cup. they shouldn't even try to support us at the end of the day everything is in our heads. right thing one of our mistakes has been setting our own limits. mexicans are capable of doing great things. mexico have made it to the knockout stage in the last six world cups because in one

of the toughest groups in russia continuing that trend will surely be an achievement. and finally for me a story from the united states where a bride to be was so certain that her husband's football team would use this is super bowl that's what proved to be a risky bet jennifer thought of the door patrick can think of where is the philadelphia eagles jersey at the very end if they won and guess what they were a shock victory against new england patriots back in february and as we know a bet is a bet he is very. much to the. element an amusement off the guests at the wedding in pennsylvania. you're watching the news coming up ahead really europe to u.s. trade demands in exchange for a permanent exemption to highest steel imports so is there
