this is d.w. news line from more suspected mail bombs intercepted in the united states one suspicious package was addressed to. critic robert de niro another to full of vice president joe biden. twelve days to go until america votes in midterm elections we check in on one of the many women trying to change u.s. politics abrams running for governor in georgia also on the program. ukrainian filmmaker all accent soft wins this year sakharov prize for human rights awarded i merely by european law makers who describe him as

a prisoner of conscience is currently in prison in russia after being convicted on terror charges. i'm from galle welcome to the program. and i should watch search is underway in the united states for a suspected serial mailbomb as law enforcement officials investigate more suspicious packages discovered today one is understood to be to address tonight after robert de niro and outspoken critic of u.s. president took donald's truck at least one other address to democrats up for the first president joe biden was intercepted in delaware the incidents come just a day after the f.b.i. revealed its top intercepted at least seven pipe bombs some of them sent to other leading democrats including former president barack obama and hillary clinton.

well let's get more now from the t.w. correspondent up because the son who joins us saw from that new york city welcome i'll be so you're in front of the restaurants where one of those devices a house being sent what can you tell us. that's right so i'm standing in front of the buyback grow which is whole owned by actor robert deniro not was very early this morning one employee inside the building found this package and he recognized it looked very similar to the package he'd seen on television yesterday one that was of course sent to c.n.n. as you mentioned earlier the packages that were intercepted that were on their way to the obama and the clinton a boy immediately called the new york police department an emergency team was sent here the package of now been removed from this building behind me and it has been transported to a facility in the bronx where it will be examined authorities are treating it as a possible pipe bomb yesterday of course we heard that it was rudimentary devices

but they are functional they're on stable and they could have detonated at any time so these will be examined just like the one that was found here today and what would robert deniro be a target. well robert de niro the actor who of course as i mentioned this is his restaurant he has been a vocal critic of president even before trying became president for example prior to the election two years ago he released an election campaign video where he called him and national disaster and just this past june at the tony awards where the elites of hollywood gather together to celebrate he ranted and criticize the president that got him a standing ovation there but trump's response was to call him a punch drunk so they have traded barbs with each other in the past you can't continuously criticize the president so that could potentially be a reason as to why this package was sent to a building where he is associated with have a clue how to simon says he sank you. to

washington i would join not to debate comes from that stuff and see some welcome stuff and how has the white house been reacting to what appears to be a foaming campaign. right there was no rigging at all the only thing we have the performance of president trump when staying at a campaign event in. missouri i guess. it was that going back to good old trump fresh attacks democrats and the media supported by a tweet by the president and i'm just quoting for you here. briefly president trump this morning tweeted very big part of the anger we see today in our society is called by the purposely false and accurate reporting of the mainstream media that i refer to as fake news it has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description mainstream media must clean up its act fast so this is you and me

basically also known here. in the world of donald trump as enemy of the people in the united states so it seems the president is fair and square placing blame for what is still go on and still an active and very dangerous investigation in in pipe bombs the bombs being sent out to various people all people who criticized him. vehemently here and there or less vehemently but are critics of the president and the responsibility for this is not with the president at all but with the media however there are of course people here who say typical trump and of course that's not the case the president takes his fair share and has responsible for his fair share of actually creating this very very very dangerous climate we have now within the political discourse and within the society here when it comes to the upcoming elections for example yeah let's talk about jobs so these midterms happen in two

weeks is the of these bombs likely to have any effect on campaign or indeed the the election. well that's everybody's best guess but i would say yes and why is that as you and as the investigators point out too because this is a part of their of their thinking process how to approach this investigation these are all those pipe bombs and suspicious packages were sent to critics of donald trump democrats and independent critics of donald trump with robert de niro for example however so this could be. absolutely beneficial for the democrats as it's relishing more their base and brings more people to the polls. in maybe an effort to rein in the president and what happened here of course people on the democratic left side make this connection and what happened here with those pipe

bombs on the other hand republicans could dig in their heels too and use this incident for once to say this is a not ok political violence unacceptable like the president said yesterday but also to rally their base. in washington thank you. well stuff imagine that the clock is ticking down to one of the most important dates on the u.s. political calendar the mid-term elections taking place in just twelve days that being billed as a major test for the trump presidency the votes also making history for the record breaking number of women being nominated to run for governor or congress looking at congressional races over recent years we see an increasing number of women but just look at the jump between twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen especially in the democratic party has shown here in blue some are now describing twenty eight eight as the year of the woman w.

isn't for that matter politician with a record of finding common ground with conservatives say see jane king is one of her supporters she says that abramson victory would be a defining moment for the former confederate saws it would be historical because georgia was one of the largest slave home states for a very long time before slavery was emancipated and i think that it would be a legacy. that was sick president and pay homage to those who paid the price for her you know for her to be able to run in this capacity and stacy abrams mural on the prominent corner in atlanta painted by a local artist when bar owner grant henry first hit on this idea he was afraid of negative reactions but then decided to do it anyway i feel like spacey abrams represents what the people really repartee represent and its openness and its freedom in its acceptance of all people

hope that he will soon be released to do what difference you think it will make here because i can't say president putin losing sleep over the fact that old oleg sends off as no one the sucker of prize will get him out now no for sure not and we have been waiting for long for that and i think he also hoped that we would stop one day paying so much attention to this case but we didn't and many others didn't but still he has done his hunger strike he has finished had to finish it because he was facing force feeding. and he is he is a personality that doesn't give up he has been fighting with his hunger strike for not for himself but for his colleagues for the other prisoners were together with him in prison and didn't get any release so it shows that he is a very strong personality and and we hope that one day also mr putin will

finally acknowledge this and let him free so what has he been doing that got him sent to jail in the first place why is all exits off so controversial. well he was arrested because he was accused of preparing terroristic at acts which was as everybody says nose false accuse i think is just an example he was taken or used as an example for not opposing. and for showing everybody what will happen once you are opposed and he has been showing from the beginning that he is strong that is not willing to let himself break. his how you say in english is not a terrorist spirit and then he continued. did the hunger strike and which was a very long one as we know very long one and he didn't even fear damages of his own life of his own body and health and of his own soul also because it's

a very tough thing of you're in contact with a look sense of cousin who's also taking care of its children what is the last you have heard from him well we know that he is in. quite good shape not too bad although his organs might have. might have got some damage from from the hunger strike but what we also know is he is working on a film from inside. and we're told fully will be produced there is so well we thank you for joining us and talking to us about him during from your in the film agency back out to me and thank you thank you very much. now let's get the business news from a ban for salute our rights on hold in the e.c.b. a staying the course despite a story forecast has the other for economic growth around the world is darkening and political turmoil in italy looms large over the eurozone nevertheless the

european central bank will continue to phase out its unprecedented stimulus measures e.c.b. confirming and thursday that its two point six trillion euro as it purchasing scheme will end this year and interest rates could rise on. the next summer president mario draghi said that the central bank still sees risks to the eurozone as broadly balanced regarding you know he spat with the e.u. of the country's rejected budget mr druggy said e.c.b. leaders didn't discuss the matter widely and that he personally hoped both sides would find a solution. let's bring in pakistan but it's at the frankfurt stock exchange. let's talk about italy first of all quite surprising that they're not talking all that much about italy considering where mr druggy comes from. yes not just the fact that he's italian also a lot of questions in the question around from journalists about italy and that's

of course because there was some expectation that tomorrow a drug in the e.c.b. might in some way show they. you know are leaning towards helping in italy in some way shape or form but none of none of the sort happened mario draghi said that he personally is confident that an agreement will be found because both sides were seeking a dialogue however he said this is mainly a fiscal issue and the e.c.b. doesn't deal in fiscal issues and deals in monetary policy and so at this point it's not going to get involved it will however continue to watch the situation continue to watch for possible spillovers should italian banks get into more trouble and should that be the case it may adjust its policy we'll be looking for december to see what's going on you know until now and following the

financial crisis the e.c.b. has basically used up all that supply of power but it is going to start winding back that stimulus program of it's easy and. why. well you mentioned all the risks and all of these these risks that have sprung up and that are there and are you drawn to and acknowledge these risks and said they were there but they weren't significant enough to change monetary policy because a lot of them were country specific factors you mentioned the german car industry for example which is having a pretty bad quarter right now but the expectations for the following quarter aren't that he said also that consumption was still pretty high rising wages. and the business investments and that's that's why it's important for the interest rate for. the sorry there for the interest rate consideration for thirty five percent of

a political platform i was outraged this type of platform was from innocent of a time when a culture of denunciation was widespread. alric official remembers that time she became a teacher before german reunification when dresden was still part of communist east germany. back then teachers risks being denounced by students if they didn't toe the party line. you can't express any political views in public anymore i can do it privately with my family but not in the open. the f.t.'s website invites students in the state of saxony to anonymously report teachers who voiced political views the initiative aims to ensure germany's neutrality code isn't forced it prohibits teachers from using their authority to influence students political attitudes. we want to use this portal not just for party politics but also to see what else is happening in schools if there's discrimination against

girls or discrimination against german students by foreigners which is increasingly happening because of migration if you want to intervene quickly so we don't have the same situation that we have in schools in berlin or homburg where islam has already gained a foothold in discrimination begins in the classroom. it is continuing to begin the f.t. perceives danger everywhere in germany muslims immigration and teachers taking a stand against rightwing nationalism. as it is grotesque nonsense to accuse teachers of this sort of thing i strongly reject it i need informed and responsible teachers who can lead to scratchings in saxony schools not the kind the if he wants . all rika fisher is certain that the neutrality code is just a pretext the platform aims to identify the teachers who are critical of the f.t. and get them fired but she's not scared of her students. some of the

students have indicated that they know about the platform of us when aware of it less than ten years reaction was don't worry we won't say anything bad about. authorities are looking into the legality of the f.t.'s online portals for now the platform doesn't appear to have intimidated teachers like all rika fischer. all the sports in the champions league brochure dormant have gone clear at the top of group a after their spectacular four nil victory over let it go madrid on wednesday dortmund that just before half time through the belgian midfielder excelled. in the second half rafael guerrero scored twice while his fellow substitute yond on sun show took his first ever champions league goal dorman remain unbeaten in all competitions this season. elsewhere in the champions league at liverpool napoli on perry sen not batting for qualification from group c.

a freedom of thought and self is currently serving a twenty year prison term in russia on charges that critics say are politically motivated. by u.s. president to donald trump as announced on twitter that he is bringing out the military to protect the u.s. border he wants to block a caravan of thousands of migrants trekking north from south america through mexico where the tribe says they're harboring the gang members and what he called middle eastern is a claim for which he admits he has no proof but they banned women and children are walking from central america say they are fleeing desperate poverty and criminality at home. they set off in darkness because when the day heats up their trip becomes even more difficult the goal is to travel forty kilometers a day heading north towards the us where they hope for a new and better life. we started on our journey because the situation in our country is on bearable. it's

a message they carry with them for the world to see the violence poverty and intolerable living conditions in their home country make the trek to the us the only alternative. hundred is known to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world with the highest murder rate. at home mario was a bus driver terrorized by criminals he received death threats. just leave it. all i had to leave gangsters at home target bus drivers last monday they almost killed me i barely escaped with my life. mario is traveling with the sister a driver stops helping to make their journey a bit easier. mario doesn't want to be an illegal immigrant he wants to apply for asylum in the u.s. but he is aware the trump doesn't want him to give me

a little hurts it's humiliating but we're still moving on god gives us strength we fight is. when the caravan arrives at one of the checkpoints supposed to stop migrants from travelling to the us border the mexican authorities allow them to pass unhindered. later however the police forbid private drivers from carrying migrants mexico is conflicted between its own open migration policy and u.s. political pressure. mexican and i feel for them we have to support them. not just as barely able to stand to do the heat but the mother from guatemala will not give up the journey is nothing compared to what she left at home. with nothing in the area where i live is so dangerous i can't even leave the house every day someone is murdered when it will come to that yeah you. shortly before the town of

my pasta pack where they planned to spend the night villagers distribute food and water a small moment of relief for the seven thousand weary migrants before the unknown challenges ahead. what happens when the internet throws you into the global spotlight but when you're president judy prisk when found out a year ago when she flashed her middle finger to president donald trump's motorcade a photo of that moment from october twenty seventh he went viral and changed her life causing her to lose her job but now she's running for office julie briskly is featured on d.w. facebook show what happens next issues i mean if this viral i'm i'm not sure that i would have been would have been fired i mean it went viral beyond my control i didn't know my picture was getting taken i didn't know that they were going to tweet it out to the white house press all the very next day after i was fired before i even went public i went and signed up to work the polls for the twenty

seven thousand election and i became involved with the democratic party county. well what's not how's about it is amy was part of the team who spoke to the judy prisk when she joins us now from our studio in bob welcome was a lot tell us more about what's been happening to julie president over the last year. i feel as she was saying there this whole episode motivated her to get involved even more politically she's now running for a position on her county's board of supervisors in an election next year of course they were in just good news she as you mentioned lost her job in a private company that's a contractor into the u.s. government and we asked her how she felt about the whole thing have a look at anybody in the united states has the right to criticize the government the first amendment is near and dear to my heart i'm a former journalist and i studied journalism in college so for someone to fire me over my expression of dissent toward the government was shocking to me but it's

a private company and virginia is not a very friendly state when it comes to the rights of workers and that's one of the reasons i'm running. so well as i may sound like getting a bigger problem that sounds like you're getting five actually did have some good which you do it again. well we asked for those and facts she said she would do it again and she's doing it every now and then whenever the u.s. president comes to a golf course that is very close to her own house have a look so we've actually organize and mobilize and we try to be out there showing resistance every times at the golf course and in that case i'm not flipping him the burt we have signs we chant and we have a message that he can clearly see i often see him the majority of the time that i go there to protest i see him driving by and looking out the window of his car and he can see our message so in that case i'm not flipping him the bird. so

as you see if anything this only motivated her to get even more politically active and official i also wanted to mention that she of course she lost her job but she did get a new job several months later. and on top of that supporters of her gesture of protest donated a lot of money well over one hundred thousand dollars to her and a crowd funding campaign so a lot of good things have happened to her as well if you want to watch the whole episode and the whole interview you can go to facebook at d w news a well thought has the same effect here. but indonesia is estimated to be the world's second biggest plastics polluter after china but one of its largest cities is come up with a novel way to clean up its plastics waste buses in sort of now accept it as payment in the scheme it has right is paying less but needing bigger wallets.

they say one man's trash is another man's treasure bus riders and served by a can now swap these thrown away bottles for free ticket it's all part of the city's goal to rid itself of plastic waste by two thousand and twenty. some back on but plastic bottles pile up in my neighborhood i brought them here to help make my street cleaner and to help out the garbage collectors who want to. read buses like this one are being used for the plastic pick ups. the crew gives this man helping hand on board. and accept his fare five plastic bottles by a two hour bus ride. one of these buses can collect up to two hundred fifty kilograms of plastic bottles each day that's about the weight of four passengers still the city's current daily plastic collection nearly four hundred metric tons.

indonesia is one of the world's biggest contributors of plastic waste. through this initiative we hope to raise public awareness about the environment especially plastic trash. the word is certainly spread and zariah getting plastic off the street is one sure way to get a free ride. this is newsnight from baghdad still to come it's barely half a football pitch white but it's been a source of tension for more than a decade we'll take you to go ireland where you can't and can you are trying to agree on a border. that you know full well look at this. facility with more business news and a travel nightmare worse than losing your luggage i don't know if it's worse than losing iraq it really could be because this involves your credit card numbers

passport numbers it's got my series out it's worse than losing your head and i wish i learned that if you have a phone cathay pacific i've never flown i have several i have had my my luggage lost and that was a nightmare well the u.k. is find a what are we doing where jumping to another story let me give you this story first of all those. hackers could have some of your most private data and they could have had it for half a year that's how long it's taken the airlines to report this to authorities and the public but talking about the details of some nine and a half million passengers the first let me bring you this story when. the u.k. has filed facebook six hundred forty four thousand dollars over its above in the cambridge analytic adult a scandal of personal data of millions of facebook profiles was harvested without user consent if i will not the social media companies billion dollars off of why but it is the maximum allowed under law at the time of the breach scandal has put

pressure on facebook shares have defied more than fifteen percent since the beginning of the year amid a broader tech stock market rout in a new job protection rules now allow for much higher fights. and out of that other story i've already told you the story so let's just run a report for. a check in with potentially serious consequences the un authorized access to cut the pacific was uncovered during routine checks on its internal i.t. system the hong kong authorities were informed of the incident on wednesday. the data exposed includes passenger names physical addresses and passport numbers cathay is now the third major airline this year to reveal it suffered a large scale data breach. last year alone cyber attacks cost companies an estimated four hundred fifty billion dollars in a growing wave of data breaches. the biggest revealed so far was in twenty thirteen

when the data of three billion yahoo users was stolen. the second most serious breach involved friend finder in twenty sixteen when the passwords and e-mail addresses of four hundred twelve million users were leaked last year a cyber attack on american credit bureaus equifax leaked the social security numbers birth dates addresses and driver's license numbers for one hundred forty five million people data that enable criminals to apply for loans in other people's names. a growing number of attacks now involve ransomware which disables computers in charge of production lines docs and hospitals. generally those talk that have to pass someone a crypto currency to restore access to the news from cathay pacific has millions of customers now worrying about the misuse of their personal data. the airline itself is under pressure to explain why it took seven months to make such a massive data breach public. when years of mass tourism take their toll and once

pristine beaches are almost beyond repair as sometimes only one solution shut it down that's what the philippines government did with the most popular tourist destination that it has after half a year it's open again and we sent our reporter on for a little working holiday. has waited six months for visitors to. reducing years of environmental mismanagement and over tourism might take more time than reading or not however the island is reopening amid efforts clearly ongoing buildings have had to be raised and declared no build zones are moved to make way for you grow it's on a beach workers race to complete an overhaul of the underground sewage system was overloading lead two hundred waste water being dumped into the ocean one key issue that led to its closure last year more than two million tourists came to this tiny

island of just over ten square kilometers more than half of them foreign now the tourism authorities are warning incoming visitors to manage their expectations and you can see why as it turns out fixing an island isn't easy here. it's been hard on business owners fernando doris tried to teach to the shop open during shutdown but major road work displacing electricity posts had led to frequent hours all power outages that's set to continue and i get picked the effect on us is that we struggled we made very little money and my staff suffered i couldn't feed them so they left. for some of the closure and the island's complicated recovery is wholesale punishment for the misdeeds of a few but others see it as a sign of political will returning to broccoli after years of poor governance. corruption is the main reason why you know the

negligence of duty of some of our leaders so we are all part of this kind of misery and painful journey of closure of bra and we all be learn our lessons from from this mistake and this is a wake up call for every filipino that is doing business in the country. then you broccoli comes with an. set of rules like strict arrival limits authorities hope fewer people will keep it sustainable to stop businesses from cutting corners to keep up with demand but some worry a lack of accountability would be the sacrifice was for nothing. only if those who violated regulations would shut down blacklisted others would be afraid to follow suit but what actually happens is that no one has been arrested for violations no one's been punished no one knows how much was paid in penalties it's possible brockway could be made dirty again because no one went to jail and. there's strong

support for the idea here that the national government had to go to extremes and deprive iraq of its tourism revenue for a while in order to save it that the rescue continues as tourists return represents a new test for the island. and out to a tiny island at the heart of a major dispute in africa that were all about islands this afternoon east african neighbors kenya and uganda locked in a longstanding dispute over parts of the border both countries likely to an island in like victoria a piece of land surrounded by valuable fishing waters canyon local politicians even lobbied the government to try and get help from the international court of justice and successfully as it happens the fishing has attracted a growing number of people trying to live in. this tiny rock justing out of lake victoria bustles with life the overlapping rusty shacks

home to around five hundred fisherman crammed in among them are a few bars brothels and shops. they can go is only the size of half a football pitch but the island is the cause of a longstanding landis butte between kenya and uganda. and. the kenyans like to say this is kenya we don't know who owns the silent we've just come here to make money and that's why we left our homes. on. the island africa's largest lake it began gaining attention in the early two thousand while fish stocks woodwind ling along the shores of lake victoria the deep waters around making go teamed with putt. when kenya and uganda sent security forces to claim the valuable island in two thousand and nine they almost triggered africa's smallest war. the latest spot fled in september when

kenya tried to host its flag on the island despite the tensions people from across east africa still drawn to making go. came here years ago because there were lots of people and plenty of fish. while islanders get on with their lives in cramped quarters a joint commission from kenya and uganda is trying to agree where the border lies for now they co-manage making go a rocky marriage of convenience. fifty years ago a company called hypnosis began to make music history not with music but autistic lay by designing some of the iconic album companies you see. storm ferguson and all the power set up shop in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight and what for bands

like pink floyd and led zeppelin exhibition has opened in berlin to celebrate this other version a century all about this unique it design studio probably metal faculty best welcome robin album cover that we're going back a bit with a quote to you back in the day i mean i think. into every music lover it was a part of the thing was its hold in your hands have the cover of coals to open it up and look at the line and it was all terribly important and they the thing about hypnosis the album covers didn't feature the band's most of all they feel had sort of weird mond for combos we shouldn't forget this was in the heady days of sort of rock n roll and with the bands like pink floyd led zeppelin budgetary matters were of you know there's no problem with them for the album covers and if you take this album cover here now there we have pictures of it this is the cover of pink floyd's

a momentary lapse of reason when dave gilmore all of pink floyd had the idea of an empty bed and then stormed slogan of hypnosis decide it be better to have a few more beds in fact seven hundred of them on the beach in california yeah well why did you go to california they went to california because of the weather but it actually rained on the day so they had to go back two weeks later and do it all again money no will change anyway let's hear from one of the founders of the co-founders known for was an unfortunate star but obree powell is the other co-founder of hypnosis and he was at the opening of the exhibition here and then. it's one of the most famous album covers of all time employed the dark side of the moon the result of a night of brainstorming. i was looking through a physics book. and inside the physics book was a picture of

a glass paperweight with light coming through a window and it created a rainbow effect and stormont to me i've got it he said a triangle like this with a source light on the rainbow coming from it this sums up floyd. obree powell was one of the founding members of the london design studio hypnosis between one nine hundred sixty eight and one nine hundred eighty three he and his now deceased partner storm tore this and created some of the most iconic album covers in music history now some fifty years later an exhibition in bellini's prowse gallery looks at the studio's legacy it all began in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight it was revolution you know everything was changing the world of young people was to change it when pink floyd came to do their second album source of full of secrets we happened to be around and suddenly. it was david gilmore who had joined lloyd said all we have to find somebody to do the do album cover and storm it was never backwards or coming forward but obvious and said we'll do it also full of secrets

was the start so we're career in which hypnosis developed a completely new style for album covers they presented epic landscapes provocative text and abstract collages inspired by surrealism record sleeves became art. this is an all of this is directly influenced by the show. in a way that it has nothing to do with music it has nothing to do with the lyrics it has nothing to do with the title as a whole other life is it a photo montage or a real picture the graphic designers love to play with the perceptions and. bands paid them handsomely for their work. with the advent of c.d.'s in the early eighty's interest in record companies started to weigh it knows this dissolved in one thousand nine hundred three but they're great is the album covers remain in our collective memory to this day. and now we don't even have albums that are lined

album covers so why was so much money spent on the job just like slaves not even the music yeah i think it was an exclusion of sort of artistic invention tom is kind of anything goes actually choose which was around the time i mean these these rock bands suddenly had enormous amounts of money because they'd sell the last album and sold a million you know i mean this doesn't happen nowadays they have to go out and play to make money but also you have to remember this was before the days of photoshop it was before the days really of computer technology so let's take another example this iconic picture which i think we've got a close up picture of all of pink floyd's album wish you were here well all three powell who we saw in that report he flew out to los angeles he hired a stunt man went to burbank studio and he set the stage. like it really

is and here is the result the idea being to businessmen shaking hands and one is being burnt in the deal now today this would all be done by photoshop on a computer and actually if you if you turn the cover of this album around we've got another picture which is rather like a work of art by rennie maggot but it's also by hypnosis as well everything they did back in the sixty's and seventy's was for real and it was mind blowing to people at the time because we've never seen things like that. incidentally in most cases it had nothing to do with the music on the al. it really was sick and so this is an exhibition due to go into it yeah it is it's actually just been extended here in berlin till november the eleventh but i spoke to the browse gallery. this morning about that and then they are currently negotiating with all the galleries

and if if there's any gallery owners out there who want to have it get in touch with us or get in touch with the browse gallery and because they're hoping to tour as well the website. you don't call them cult of investment we thank you chris. so i have time to remind you of our top stories at this hour here on the police across the united states are hunting for a suspected serial mail bomb of more suspicious packages have been intercepted one addressed soon the actor robert de niro under for sleep two more to fuck former vice president joe biden fossil bomb something sent to a string of presidents trumps of progress over the past few decades. and ukraine filmmaker a prominent kremlin critic only accepts office one thinks you suck up prize it's awarded every year by the european parliament which upon the freedom of the mr some self is currently serving a twenty eight year prison term in russia on charges critics say are politically
