between corrupt government officials and drug lords dozens of mexican journalists like her have lost their lives trying to uncover these stories or nando's is currently living in exile because of the many threats to her life. mexico is one of the deadliest countries for journalists. last year alone ten journalists were killed apparently as retribution for their work. especially at risk are those who dare to ask questions about mexico's drug cartels. the country's war on drugs has claimed tens of thousands of civilian lives in the past two decades. journalist and about hernandez is a survivor her family has been threatened at gunpoint and someone once left a box of decapitated animals on her doorstep her popular two thousand and ten book narco land investigates ties between drug cartels and the mexican government she

says her work has put her life at risk. many of the shots of the mexican government tried to kill me know this knock out the noise chapo guzman was the mexican government and tried to kill me asked had been trying to kill too many other journalists in my he got that trying to say that to about this condition hernandez now lives in exile in europe where she continues her research for her efforts to expose corruption dutch avila has awarded her the two thousand and one thousand freedom of speech award. well these days that working in that very sensitive moment in my in my life. because outside from mexico i feel very alone i feel i feel lonely but this is why for me. he said kind of much more than that why are i so he died. on

a visit to mexico the director general of dutch avella explained the decision to award the prize to hernandez. she stands for a lot of mexican journalists who have a really difficult job here in a country where corruption and not cause criminality is very high to do their job and i think so it's a well deserved all award for her and for all mexican journalists and those hopes to return to mexico one day to be closer to her family she was glad to see mexico's new administration take a stance against government corruption but she believes it will take courageous deeds not just words to pull her country back from the brink. of courage she certainly embodies my colleagues and the tale from did his latin america desk joins us now from our good morning it's a good morning can you tell us you know how representative is annabel or not is life and work for other mexican journalists is very representative because she

had a publishing harry investigations in the form of books. and. because she couldn't make it in the newspapers where she was working and this investigations were actually those ones that belong to the they did they investigate and that's what i've actually been brought out by the mexican islets but it wasn't on those wages just out of pollution in the form of books started from social problems lie. war or sexual exploitation of the border to mexico to the to the us and then she went up to groom who grew up corrupt of hers. and one cold the tao will gate where she discovered more than a half a million u.s. dollars were thrown into the redecoration of two rooms of the presidential residence if i was public money and the engines she got to discovering or

uncovering. a governor levels were yeah if you know you mentioned to you you know she was got her start by picking up on stories that the mexican mainstream media wasn't picking up on did they subsequently pick up those stories after her books came out some of the media but not every media that's why her books actually were sort of an independent publications and they sold more than one hundred thousand copies. in a video clip ok i was sick a look at at what she had to say when she learned she was the recipient of this year's theme speech work. i am grateful for the freedom of speech or war because i think these. kind of way to recognize of the international community that the that these these sastre hugh money that exists in mexico it's not just responsibility of the mexicans of them or the mexican

government or the mexican cartels this is also a huge responsibility of the international community because all these innocent drugs that arrive to here is because x. east a huge market of consumers and also government that let get inside these drugs also because the mexican cartels laundry their dirty money their bloody morny in beasts kind of a huge business in europe. on a bell hernandez there is a drawing of a direct connection between the cartels and europe it's europe's use of drugs for example its banking system is this more of an appeal for help. in fighting the drug card cartels or an indictment of al europe approaches drug use and drug trafficking i can tell you one thing she's met she is she's a journalist but she was also a victim just the victim heard that her father was kidnapped and killed.

there was never a connection made i mean we don't know if it was the drug cartels or if it was the government officials because it's always said that she was threatened by government officials this is matt when talking about corruption and drug cartels in mexico that's why she's saying things so excited. she's making i think she's making an appeal to europeans in general to start giving thoughts when consuming brock's is if i'm making an innocent sniff to say to not look a lot wants. to be thinking that there is a couple of bodies behind that so it's a good point and thank you for that as she's paid a high price personally hasn't she her father as you mentioned you know that and she's living in hiding what's happening in mexico it's not a war zone it's not a dictatorship it has many of the signs of being a failed state. it's not

a failed state i mean from the political point of view is not a failed state i would say they don't want to come up to make in this example as well but it is functional democracy like united states were. the administrations are corrupted where we're the system is corrupt the administration is colluding with. criminal organizations and they don't want to be uncovered about that. that's what i'm talking about and the hernandez is saying what needs to happen is mexico needs more courage what needs to happen in mexico for things to change first of all is recognize and journalism as a real profession and media outlets also store. bettors dollars to the journalists making probably life insurance given life insurance to journalists who are covering or uncovering uncomfortable topics had think that

would be a good step forward but they owe from our latin america desk thanks very much for coming in this is still to come on the show a champions league stalemate at anfield byron munich a liverpool play out a scoreless draw leaving the knockout round tie finally balanced. but first we have the story russian president vladimir putin will be delivering his state of the nation address later today it is a critical time for him with opinion polls seeing support for the president telling off now that spite voters reelecting the russian president last year for a four fourth term and last until two thousand and twenty four w. traveled to putin's hometown of st petersburg to hear what locals think about that city's famous son. nic yeah i'm. president putin on russian state television following his victory in the presidential elections last march he won seventy six percent of the votes not success awaits us

yes. so far though there are a few signs of the success and polls say now less than a year later only a third of russians still trust their president we talked to some people in putin's home city of st petersburg the head of the local youth wing of putin's united russia party says he still backs the president. our president strength lies in his strategy for the development of russia only the killers here but this art history student says there are other reasons for putin's strength. should go ideal that a good leader needs to be fed and putin is respected because he is fair as long as people are afraid of him he will be a strong president. yet the. president but even if many people do fear him putin's power is on the decline especially since he packed his

government's controversial pension reforms these pushed up the retirement age as it is millions of pensioners struggle to survive on their pensions. only a strong leader could take such a step of acquittal the pension reforms could not have been put off by five or ten years to do what president putin has chosen to take on the responsibility but the asleep at the said reform negatively affects people's quality of life that's made the problem weaker another weakness is putin's apparent inability to get a handle on corruption while most russians are seeing their earnings dwindle the powerful elite keeps getting richer. corruption has always been an issue here in effect if the illusion would be to decentralize the states and parliamentarian is an amputee want to allow that. we've had governors and ministers of the russian federation indicted and locked up in the fight against corruption and you know that rarely happens elsewhere like in europe. i mean there's the europe with it.

europe in the us are becoming increasingly skeptical of relationships with the west are at rock bottom another minus point for. i see if russia has always struggled with the west up with its partly and the partly hatred in which it would sometimes russia once a better than the west that russia and the west will never be friends and the human sense of the world but then you will do it. just on the go to countries that are prepared to work with us on economic terms of what we want to invest in us they're the ones we'll work with we were with the putin seems set on controlling everything in russia but his waning popularity seems to be testing that control currently only a minority of russians believe their country is heading in the right direction. but some sports now enter the champions league knockout stages and a classic battle of the titans from england and germany it was liverpool hosting

bargaining in the first of a two like match up and the fence was the ultimate where. liverpool were pressured by in munich from the get go it paid off the english side we're creating them more and the better off the chances but you have a post dominant display lacked the killer touch side your money with perhaps the best chance of the game but he couldn't quite get his footing right by unabsorbed on the pressure adopting a more defensive approach it was effective give a pool where unable to break down by anstey fans with both sides shouting each other down. this one ended in a goalless draw but if the first leg is anything to go by it certainly sets up an exciting return leg in munich. and the other match up of the thing also looked looked like at the beginning it would produce a lot of goals but despite barcelona's twenty five shots against the ole they could not find the back of the net the french side doing the same in the second goal
