kalashnikov so beth and i. marries is one of the plaintiffs in the court case she's hoping the hearings will provide her with some answers the men that. do coupons are. the best and honor their decision i need to understand as best as i can what was in the mind of his assassin should be square she. said i think. this is there any additional information could help me get closer to what my husband went through the moment he got killed or more men. the attack put france on high alert the terrorists were on the run for days millions of people then took part in a huge demonstration of unity in the face of this attack on press freedom the slogan. went global. but since the

attack on shall have those news room behind me here defending the freedom of the press in france has become more difficult especially with the rise of populist politics and an increasing distrust of the traditional media. challis of door has continued to operate from a secret location the magazine still regularly receives threats its editor in chief says the internet has made things worse. nowadays when people read critical comments on social media they immediately take them personally they often threaten us and they're even violent way you also said. that satire and press cartoons are supposed to upset people and before provoking that cartoon culture is increasingly getting lost. a leg to do this song.

mary's wilensky is trying to maintain her husband's legacy in her own way. i am pursuing one of his projects a european house of satirical empress cartoons this is how i continue his fight for press freedom. she will also keep publishing her husband's cartoons so that his spirit lives on. and let's go now to the courtroom in paris where our correspondent lisa lewis is covering the trial for us lisa this trial bringing up painful memories in france for so many as we've just seen there in that report what are people saying now 5 years later. while absolutely this trial is indeed very important for many people here 1st of all obviously the survivors and the families of the victims they have to they're looking for answers they're looking to understand what really happened and that might help them to live a bit in a bit more easy way with that pain their heart to face their have been facing since

january 2015 but this trial is also crucial for france as a country it's a historical trial and as a one lawyer said this morning it's the democratic answer to a barbaric act so france is trying to understand what really happened there what went wrong what could be done better that better in the future to prevent such. attacks from happening and this is also a historical trial as to the fact that it's been it's being recorded and will be archived that's very rare in french judicial history with the goal there of prevention that you've mentioned we have to mention that charlie updo is still facing threats are writers artists journalists are they still at risk if they criticize islam in today's france. well that's at least what members of the news and i have been telling me they've been saying you know we feel that

journalists in france are self censoring that they feel they shouldn't aggress or shouldn't insult anybody for fear of reprisals one recent poll also showed that more than 50 percent of those questioned thought that there shouldn't be journalists shouldn't express any bless him you should insult any religion however the shah they don't use team of really obvious he says that's what you do insult everybody and we have the wrong. it's to love about everything and everybody what different citizens make of what's going on right now with this trial i mean is this is this helping to unify the country. that's always the hope here you know when you look back at 220 general 2015 as i said in my report lots of people came together to show unity in the face of this horrible attack on press freedom and many here are hoping that this trial might again bring people together because they shouldn't forget that they're facing this common enemy of violence

against this freedom however there are other fractures in french society when you look back at the yellow vest movement you know these demonstrations that went on for over a year and shape that shape that there was this rift between you know the countryside and the city here in france and then many people feel left behind by those who earn more and they speak well who feel left behind certainly won't feel better because of the strife but they might stand together for amazement just to remember that there are one nation and should really face show unity in face of such an attack but the view from paris lisa lewis says this trial begins today a number of alleged accomplice is facing justice for their role in the charlie hebdo massacre thanks for your reporting they say. fine let's have a look at some other stories making news around the world the korean peninsula is on high alert as typhoon my sack approaches more than 300 flights have been

something that i would like to acknowledge and my legal responsibility. can somebody get taxed for all the crimes that happened that s 21 that me and some of the especially the torture and execution of. someone. out. while confessing his crimes also claimed he was merely following orders and late in the trial pushed for a release claiming he was not guilty prosecutors handed him a 35 year sentence later extended to life in prison for the crimes of the regime he served and his role in particular still weigh heavily on cambodian society. related to god he created bad history for us but now it's the end of his life. up like yeah i will never forget the horrible past all the crimes that he committed he

deserved to serve more prison terms but now he has died i can forgive him. so i was also fired for what my what i regret that he is dead now. if he had stayed alive the younger generation may have heard more history from him well now he is dead it's all over. the line cowboy. stuff may bring some satisfaction to cambodians but more than 4 decades after the fall of the camaro rouge the regime's painful legacy lives on. in the us president donald trump visited the city of commercial wisconsin following days of unrest there trying to offer its support for the police and accused black lives matter protesters of spreading what he called domestic terror they say he is not addressing the country's racial divides. president trump arrived in commercial and choose day with

a firm message of law and order he condemned last week's protests vowed to help local businesses damaged during the demonstrations as well as defending and praising law enforcement. to stop the political violence we must also confront the radical ideology that includes this violence reckless far left politicians continue to push the destructive message that our nation and our law enforcement are oppressive or racist they'll throw out any word. that comes to. the president's visits prompted more unrest trump supporters and black lives matter protest has faced off as he arrived with members of the black community condemning his visit. this is us they way because these come down for the wrong reason he's not coming down here to help he's coming down here to force the issue of racism he's not foot of he's not for the country right now since he became president ma pain. a lot of

doors a race and have opened up can i was it was left partly in ruins following days of violent protests after police shot african-american resident jacob blake in the back in late august local leaders had a trump to stay away to prevent inflaming tensions others disagreed. i feel it's a it's a good time for him to come any time because he brings he wants to bring comfort and peace to america. and people are hurting right now over all this and i feel it's a good time for him because i support him. i think the president coming here might make it safer here lots of secret service so for the day so but i think tomorrow when he leaves it might make it worse so i have mixed feelings. wisconsin is

a crucial battleground state in the november election trump one now really here in 2016 and he's determined to keep it republican as he seeks a 2nd term. and i'm joined now by i have who is a lecturer at toro college and our lead an expert on u.s. politics and history welcome to the program how polarizing do you see trump's visit to can osha. yeah i work on for the invitation. but president trump was this visit commercial was constant is doing everything to stoke the polarization of the united states. that he wants to focus on the rioting and looting and and things that he has the president can do against it and this is an open flank i think for the democratic party which it must close for some. gas because time for his part is saying that the protests the unrest that has sometimes turned violent shows the country needs someone who is

tough on crime he says he is the law and order candidate are the protests in a virtually help in his re-election efforts yes i think that is the danger more protests and more out there will be in the coming weeks the more it's going to how. to salute president and the republican party because violence rules. touch primaries 2 years on the part of the population while on suit you cannot fight an injustice with another injustice you cannot fight the racism in the us and the police violence meet with other kind of violence to keep the hierarchy this is very important surely for the political left and for organizations like my black and i was matter to keep the higher moral ground really to. need to send out the message in the sense that martin luther king and then in the ninety's sixty's we

are not violent we don't stoop down to that right but that was the 1960 s. now we're looking at 2020 so talk to us a little bit about the the messages that we're hearing from both parties and the level of traction that they're getting with voters so for example what we're hearing from democrats and joe biden is that they will unite the country is that likely to play well with the electorate. yes but i think the democratic candidate needs to do more than just give speeches in which he condemns the rioting he needs to in his campaign be so worked with black lives matter and other we're going to say sions they were involved in the protest and and sure create a kind of public have to do with abstain from violence and it may also mean that they're accredited mares that the governors will have to rely on war on who police force and on the national guard to contain the violence early off any violence that

any rioting that continues for a long time like important going to our. the conservative side that that's a historical or almost an instrument jurors fact they have lecture a tour of college and berlin with that view as we head toward november's election in the u.s. thank you let's have a look at some other stories making news around the world brazil space agency says that the amazon is experiencing another devastating fire season satellite data show that the blazes are almost as bad as last year despite pleasures from president triad boss and not to curb the destruction. that hunter no wetland is experiencing its worst fire since 2005 the rain forest is one of the most biodiverse regions on earth. the covert 1000 pandemic has plunged australia into recession for the 1st time in almost 3 decades new figures show that the economy shrank by 7 percent in
