end child like. i'm from gail welcome to the program russia's interior minister says drugs charges against investigative journalist if i'm good enough have been dropped and that he's to be released from house arrest he was detained last week after police said they found drugs in his backpack at his phone he was from the independent news website medusa is known for investigating corruption in moscow city government supporters accuse police of planting the drugs official said today that the charges have been dropped due to lack of evidence the interior ministry has fired 2 senior police officials and open uninvested an internal investigation into the officers. going off to rest. straight to moscow to rejoin the d w correspondent emily

sherwood welcome and really what's behind this surprise move. well on the one hand phil the evidence as you say was always kind of shaky and a bit contradictory from the beginning for example the police published 8 photos which apparently were from a search of going off the apartment where they say they found a kind of drugs lab later they then said that actually. most of those photos apart from one were actually not from going off apartment at all today the interior ministry has said that actually they have got back results of investigations and the d.n.a. of going off was actually not found on the drugs packages but instead the d.n.a. of several other people was found so there is that kind of shaky evidence based there's been a lot of reporting about that in the past few days and also this case has been

really making huge waves in the media and politically as well today we heard from the speaker of the upper house of parliament much the anchor very important figure here in russia who said that this could have been a set up this is really been attacked in huge public attention and that has made the case political critics would say it is not the case is to be trumped up with a shaky and contradictory evidence to see people locked up if that's what the state what was it about this case that prompted such an outcry but so many have been even the national newspapers got involved against the russian state. yes well as you say there was really a huge media outcry including among state t.v. even we heard some important figures on state t.v. talking about this case condemning this case as well i think perhaps it was status as a well respective well respected investigative journalist he's known for his very factual

corruption investigations he's gone after kind of people in high in the highest ranks including the deputy mayor of moscow and he was looking into the funeral business now as you say the idea of drugs being planted on an inconvenient person that does happen rather often in russia and i think what we're seeing here is civil society really drawing a red line and the russian government looking at that red line apparently taking heat which critics sounds extraordinary well experts here have been discussing the idea that perhaps this case could have come from kind of the middle levels of power rather than all the way up in the kremlin as i said before we've seen several senior senior officials kind of condemning this case today and the timing of the case when it came out was rather surprising as

well this case was 1st reported on friday when putin was at the international economic forum in st petersburg and actually searches for goal north overtook searches for putin according to young statistics that's one of the that's the main search engine here in russia so that couldn't have been convenient for putin and for the kremlin so perhaps it was lower level officials who had planned this takedown if that is what it was only show it in moscow thank you. i will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world time to government protesters in haiti have gathered in the capital port au prince to demand a presenter give an album with the resignation of allegations of corruption demonstrates is blocked roads and sent to the lights across the city school schools businesses and government offices were also closed after opposition leaders a called a strike. and the strike to demand civilian rule in sudan has ended its day leaving

a movement which we have been expecting to happen albeit with some apprehension as to what could possibly happen we are also in an election year this year so that also adds to that the political climate of what we were hoping wouldn't stand and change people's minds in the judiciary has proven again that they will stand for human rights in what's on the regardless of what is the density of political issue at hand to hong kong a protest against a controversial bill that seeks to allow extraditions to china once again filling the city streets demonstrators a gathering in hong kong government a quarter head of a mass protest tonight part of something proposed changes fear it could undermine the island's autonomy from mainland china calling on territories leadership to scrap the further protests and strikes are expected on wednesday when the prime minister to be approved by the city's legislative council. to go to hong kong and

join t.w. correspondent. john welcome metis are tomorrow's protest likely to be as big as sunday's. no i don't think they will but they will be many people will show up but sunday's demonstrations were planned a long time ago people had time to prepare that's not the case tomorrow however many businesses have said they was shut down to allow their workers to join the protests and the whole range of groups have called for. 2 to join the protests behind me is the government's offices it is now late at night we see more mainly christian groups chanting hallelujah here but a lot of others have also said announce that they would come at night and spend the night here camp in front of the legislative building which will hire hold the

hearing tomorrow a problem to hong kong business leaders have warned legislators to be cautious about this bill what are their concerns and are they likely to be hated. while. the business leaders are you traditionally forced that supports the government and the probe aging forces so this was of course a very big deal that they spoke out out against this law they said that they were concerned they would be deported to mainland china for example on tax evasion trumped up or not whatever in china happens often businesses are targeted the government has eased some of their concerns and some of the business associations have withdrawn their opposition. but. many of them

remain concerned as well as the legal professions who are usually also not known to be anti government so this protest is much broader than for example the protests in 2000. and 14 as far as the whole range of society is concerned that regardless of the opposition of a territories the chief executive kerry lamb is adamant that this bill will go through why is she so determined. that's hard to say because she doesn't really explain a lot she says it's necessary to shut down loopholes for international criminals fugitives who come to hong criminal fugitives who seek shelter in hong kong but she has not really addressed the concerns that the people have here. she seems determined we don't know whether beijing is behind this or whether she really thinks that this is something hong kong needs to do for its own sake she says the

latter but people don't trust her. let's hear from of a chief executive of hong kong that carry law. and the bill will resume this reading the 2nd reading to date on the trial of june can we have killed so members about it estate council and various organizations and groups in society to continue or to weigh in participating in the discussion in a calm rational and peaceful manner. bull injured will carry lambs appeal make much difference. i don't think people will listen to what she is saying now people have been protesting people have been raising their concerns today the legislative council has shortened the period for discussion on this bill that would be left after tomorrow's 2nd hearing that is not a sign of concern reek of conciliation this is of course

a sign that the government wants to push this through that's why people the opposition does not trust her in this case. i'm at is probably. called thank you. salvage crews in the hungaroring cattle would have passed have recovered several bodies from the wreckage of the tour boat that sank on the danube last month rescue workers raised the hull of the capsule of the vessel which capsized after colliding with a large crew ship only 7 of 5 people on board survived. after 2 weeks salvage teams were finally ready to raise the boat from the riverbed steel cables secured the sunken vessel to a massive floating crane the boat was then slowly lifted until it broke the surface and water could be pumped out. as the top of the mermaid became visible workers said they saw life jackets floating inside. the vessel was then hoisted onto a barge and handed over to police investigators.

inside crews recovered 4 bodies and brought them to a waiting police boat. onlookers lined the banks of the danube many still shaken by the incident on the hunger in capitals beloved river. and there was a lot of people. and it's. so horrible. the operation had been delayed by fast and muddy springtime waters it was only in recent days that the danube finally at a low enough to give the crane the necessary maneuvering space for salvage teams and south korean rescuers who joined them soon after the accident it was a challenging operation. but there were days when one could see 50 centimeters but other times visibility was just 10 centimeters it was like being in a heavy snow fall or fog we switched on strong lights but didn't see

a thing the water was so murky wails of what it should be. the nighttime collision occurred during heavy rain of the $33.00 koreans and to hungary and crew on board only 7 people survived. correspondent stefan the boat in budapest and sent us this update. the south korean and hunt carrion divers found more victims today including a 6 year old child her motor and the captain in total $28.00 people passed away in the mermaids this small boat that was hit on may 29th by a much larger ship that captain of that ship that's now being detained questions will be asked as to how this accident could happen the whole operation has been dangerous i saw ethan a rescue worker fell overboard he was rescued at the last moment and survived

whatever the outcome of the investigation will be and such can too late for those who mourn south koreans and hunger ariens have brought flowers and candles here to remember the victims of hungary's worst accident on the danube river in 75 years 7 votes in budapest and now to the future of work technology automation and globalization of already affected the way many of us work disrupting pounds for better and for worse a shift which is being compared to the industrial revolution there are also the focus of the enter national labor organization conference being held this week to mark the organizations 100th day the main topics include a future without child labor and using technology to guarantee decent work and ending modern slavery which the aisle who says affects about $25000000.00 people around the world well germany's chancellor is one of

a number of nationally to shuttle to address the conference in geneva and i'm going to medical stress the need to balance the 2 nurses against the risks of digital change and then took a they world industrialized countries. why if a north pole putin the opposition there's no doubt that the world's leading industrialized nations have especially benefited from globalization and the international division of labor and i have been that's why these countries have a responsibility to ensure fair working conditions but do not at home where there is still a lot to do. but also wherever global delivery and supply chains are located in the fore and that's a full scale. india has emerged as one of the key global supply chain but the country is also home to a high number of children to work u.n. officials estimate that about 10000000 children under the age of 14 are at work and

this often comes at the expense of their education. they work in this scorching heat. collecting plastic bottles to sell on our scrap these are just 2 of india's 10000000 child laborers some work to support their families. others like rohit have been abandoned. i don't know we have our my family through me i was i was still with them when i was picking up brags then i broke my leg and they threw me i was my brother and 3 or 4 other boys helped me to get treatment and took care of me. one of the biggest drivers of child labor in delhi is migration kids whose parents come to the city in search of jobs are especially vulnerable to being put to work. even those visibly

under-aged may lack documents proving they're too young to work. children's rights activists accuse authorities of failing to address the root causes of the problem prevalence of child. is increasing. and i think some of the reasons are the fact that you know government and you know to civil society organizations focus a lot on immediate rescue and immediately habitation only don't focus much more on the longer situations or the prevention time engine and i think it's very critical for the government to start now focusing on prevention for now the sight of children working remains commonplace not just in india but in many other parts of the world as well as bleak reflection of the reality of child labor as both a cause and a consequence of extreme impoverishment. and the united states for a president trump has

a promise to reveal more details of the migration deal struck last week between the united states and mexico messick and officials say they've been given 45 days to demonstrate increased efforts to reduce the number of migrants and in the us i mean while they're on the in the u.s. state of new mexico militia taking matters into their own hands trying to stop people at the border civil liberties mamma says accuse them of detaining migrants illegally and impersonating offices correspondent on a salad spent 3 days with members of the militia he sends us this report from el paso and the neighboring state of texas. militia man jim bandy is beginning his shift in his mission to find and stop illegal migrants. every night he and his friends of the guardian patriots gather in the new mexican desert near el paso there but they have been described as a right wing extremists but insist they are just trying to help the authorities

over the need for the guard to anyone who's come in and ok perfect this is card watch this is an open border and what border patrol being strained it's an unprotected border so we need to be here we need to back up the border patrol. a piece of wall has been built to control the influx of migrants but it's far from complete. this is where the wall suddenly ends and you can easily walk from mexican into american soil and this is just a very good example why militias think that they are needed to help secure the border critics however say that this should only be in the hands of the border patrol. or the coming your heart we got to ok so say or at nightfall the guardian or patriot so went into action a group of migrants are just entering american soil and. we got more crossing after stopping the. the militia calls border patrol for some

try to escape through the rio grande. but the. militia member killed himself son to an illegal migrant from mexico but he wants new arrivals to come to the u.s. the legal way. back in the day you have to pay for your education you have to ticket to speak english get to know the president and you know yeah it's hard but that's the legal way to do it when they just do it legal this way it cost the taxpayer money more. but it's not just the migrants who might be breaking the law the militia has been accused of taking people into custody at gunpoint and illegal act if it's against their will. it's. here they're just getting ready for shift in these areas. and they came into camp liberty. numb the seal the border network for human rights condemns the guardian patriots presence of the border saying they need lists lee incite fear for

no real reason it's just children mothers. grandmothers they are just torn in themselves to border patrol because they're looking for help so in that context why do we need. any and. what do we need a militia. but the guardian patriots have no doubt they are needed as long as president trumps wall remains unfinished. until then they say they will continue to watch over the border. for now starting with football and some of the favorites of the women's or world cup faltered over the 1st of 4 days but day 5 of the tournament gives fans a 1st look at the most dominant force in women's football for the last 20 years team usa the americans are defending champions and are well aware the 29 team could be their toughest test yet. i will record world champions usa the title defense

this summer in france might prove more difficult than ever before. i think it's going to be a remarkable world cup i think the the level of competition 4 years on from the last one has exponentially increased the different teams now rising and it's going to be a very open world cup and we're excited to go out there and attack it. but a challenge doesn't daunt the country with nearly half the world's total registered female youth players and things to america's solid infrastructure of club and college level football coach joe ellis has had a vast pool of players to recruit from over the past 4 years her friends bound squad has a balanced mix of experience veterans and young talents. like 21 year old super sub mallory pugh she for one college football to play professionally and alongside her role models i was talking to alex like a week ago and she was like whatever role that you like give and just like play i

play it the best that you can and that's super important because like we need all 23 players to try and win the world cup for the team star alex morgan it'll be her 3rd time playing on the world's biggest stage in 2015 she was coming off an injury but this year she's expected to perform at her very. we're just trying to take it one game out of time and we're not focusing on the fact that we're looking to defend anything we're definitely looking to come out with a win in no way. about a repeat or anything like that but repeated they might well attended and decisive wins in their preparation games indicate that the usa might continue dominating women's soccer well into the future yeah yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah germany meanwhile put in a. world cup against china it was a bruising encounter which germany was lucky to win. nel they now face spain in

their 2nd group game knowing the when would guarantee them a place in the knockout stages. germany limber up for their much with spain knowing they are lucky to top their group despite a one nil when they struggled badly in their world cup opener against the chinese side that left them black and blue. up as kind i think usually doesn't care and i don't think there's a single player without a bruce lee thank their commitments now but i don't think we have to talk too much about that on the m spears as it was a world cup game here you don't expect to come out of it unscathed at all ski and injury to jennifer moderation was the biggest body blow inflicted by the chinese the young playmaker will said take the spain game with a $310.00 judy. absence means expectation falls on the young shoulders of julia given the 19 year old became a household name in germany with the strike that broke the cheney's resistance similar performance against spain which see her star rise even higher and leave
