the very serious questions have come up with the russian government and must. with this lead to some he's now up to russia to prove it isn't a dictatorship and that it was specs democratic values to do the mccutcheon or the separation and i think crime against in that frame of on the contrary to some fundamental rights we defend. also coming up he was responsible for the execution of thousands in cambodia's brutal regime today die in prison tonight the role that he played in what became known as the killing field. got by with lights to acknowledge and quote my legal responsibility. can someone get back for all of the crimes that happened that s 21. to our viewers. yes in the

and the united states are all calling on the kremlin to deliver answers here's a chance there are going to marry. i think scene of irony and that thing of it was the victim of an attack with a chemical nav agent of and. so this point things get identified unequivocally in tests. so it's clear that collect is not a victim of a crime. he was a person to be silenced and i together with your entire german government condemned this in a strongest possible terms they will support after the russian ambassador was informed about the findings at the foreign ministry this off to noon. we expect the russian government to explain its position on this case very serious questions have come up which only the russian government can and must. want to unfold with or there was a german chancellor there with very strong language for uncle americal we have team

coverage of today's developments i'm joined by correspondent kate brady here in berlin and. in moscow you both kate let me start with you strong words from the german chancellor what proof do the germans have this was no joke well the proof of this poisoning came from a special toxicology test that was carried out by a specific department of the german but the spare the german military which focuses on chemical weapons and also the protection of civilians and the military against chemical weapons and it's this test result. that is proof that aleksei in a valley was indeed the victim of a crime and they at that the aim was indeed for him to be silenced yury we've got the german chancellor along with other western countries now demanding answers from the kremlin what's the kremlin saying. well brant in contrast to the

strong reactions and role in the un from the town for a special from the german chancellor with as authorities here in russia have so far been reluctant to comment on the violence poisoning and leadership this gulf spokesperson of the russian president vladimir putin sat to that the kremlin would to be unable to give a proper response to berlin statement which is in a way all else also a statement i think. the russian foreign minister is south of that beilin statements are not based on any evidence and that the directions from there on the russian parliament will expect that they called it probably dictated by political motives that could be organized by the united states to stop the gas project the north stream to between russia and germany the european union and the data they've had to deal with similar cases before involving no budget for example and russia are there any clues from past experiences to help deal with this investigation.

well one of the 1st puts of cool and which of course based to slap some sanctions on specific people in russia even on businesses or vessels very poor and as a reader would depend on how moscow decides to cooperate or not waive in the end it so that part is in the coming days that as yari says say father response from moscow has been rather hazy already that we use cambridge here in berlin your shadow in moscow to both of you thank you. for russia's opposition activists and politicians the news from germany today confirmed what they'd never delegate would you take a look at once leonid vocals a senior aide to alexey of all need tweeted today he writes in 2020 poisoning of all me with no beach 0 is exactly the same as leaving an autograph at a crime scene like this and underneath there what you see is a picture of the signature of what a mere pollutant. well my next guest is

a political ally of only see the volley of vladimir as your call is executive manager of the volleys nonprofit anti corruption foundation the u.k. granted him political asylum in 2015 after russia sold to extradite him on embezzle mint charges he joins me tonight from london it's good to have you on the day this evening i want to start by getting your response to what has happened today and germany calling for russia to explain itself well i'm shocked at the fact that a military great talks in was used to assess the date of ali who has emerged as the most prominent trusted opposition politician squarely poised that russian security services and that russian authorities as the people responsible for this incident. let me ask you you are in the u.k.

where the script all is were attacked with no joke in england about 2 years ago are you satisfied with how the u.k. and the west have responded. not at all right after this clip of assassinations in 2080 of the reason may the prime minister of the u.k. at that time issued a very strong statement but nothing really fed up and the corrupt russian money continued to come to the u.k. without hindrance the people who are close to putin's regime who can be considered the wallets of bolton and his clique continue to reside and is it western capitals with no obstacles what i mean when you say that then why would anyone want to follow in

a like scene of all these footsteps when they know that they could wind up in prison or maybe wind up being the victim of a poisoning attack. well the people for whom freedom is very dear. who want to see russia as a free as a democratic country who want to establish a political system that is reflective of what the russian people fake of course they will they have assembled under the leadership of election of ali and they will continue fighting that has been the story of freedom fighters all over the world we know that the doctors here in berlin who are treating links in of all need the they say that he may not fully recover from

this poisoning what does that mean then for the opposition in russia. over here is alexei imagist as the most prominent opposition politician but he is quite unique in russia in that he has created a political organisation. and media the zation and. there are there are more than 200 people working full time. in the various activities and there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of supporters of what alexei and out it has been doing so i think the movement will continue. even though for now we feel great absence of alexei i hope that she recover soon and she recovers fully and will be back

at the forefront of this fight you know i'm sure there are a lot of people who share that sentiment with you if you look at the situation as it is now it appears that the russian secret service under vladimir putin can act and do what it wants with impunity what does that mean for people like you who are living abroad do you feel that you need the dream wife is safe or that you sometimes feel like your life is threatened. well of course we've seen throughout the last 50 years that russian security services capable of assessing nations get much anywhere at the same time of course i feel much safer now in london that i was elated on the streets of moscow or as the recent events show elected isley on that in russian. and us is a summation. not that 1st it follows this tree of attempts life

afresh and political and civil activists and some of that stuff and it tragically like maurice that's absurd it just doesn't shift it bloody near a circle of joining us tonight from london but i mean we appreciate your time and your insights thank you thank you. well still to come on the day 5 years ago the week that changed europe the story of a syrian woman who survived the dangerous crossing to europe in 2015 and then went back to help other refugees some stories coming up in just a minute. and a tour his killer in cambodia's genocidal c'mere rouge regime has died at the age of 77 comrade doig as he was known was head of security and oversold the deaths of thousands after the communist guerrilla fighters seized power in 1975 the regime

during sought to transform cambodia into a classless peasant society now in the process they killed an estimated 2000000 people through starvation and execution in what became known as the killing fields before his death dory had been serving a life sentence for crimes against humanity. the body of comrade dyke arrives at a buddhist temple in phnom penh for commission after years of poor health the former khmer rouge leader who died at this hospital in the early hours of wednesday . during pol pot's genocidal regime in the 1970 s. was in charge of cambodia's most notorious prison the s $21.00 there the man who once worked as a schoolteacher oversaw torture cruelty as well as the murder of more than

$12000.00 men women and children. in 2010 he was tried by a un supervised court and expressed remorse for his actions. kim something that i would like to acknowledge and my legal responsibility. can someone get taxed for all of the crimes that happened that s 21 that got me in the somme up there specially the torture sound exit of people where. 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. it was pretty typical god created bad history for us but now it's the end of his life. 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. michael i regret that he is dead now. if he had stayed alive the younger generation may have heard more history from him and now he's dead it's all over. there i think our. 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. more than 5 years ago in paris islamists attacked the satirical magazine charlie

and the jewish supermarket they murdered 17 people before being shot by police but they have accomplices who escaped their trial has now begun now the magazine was targeted because he published cartoons of the prophet muhammad. that the widow of one of those killed maddie's women ski is still traumatized 5 years ago her husband george was killed in the islamist attack on shall you he was a cartoonist at the magazine and the love of her life. my life was turned upside down its absence the absence of his gaze that accompanied me for 47 years. this absence has caused me to fall ill with cancer and i have regular nightmares here

and some of them i become my husband and live through his last moments facing the kalashnikov. mary's is one of the plaintiffs in the court case she's hoping the hearings will provide her with some. the men that. do coupons are. the best thing on at their i need to understand as best as i can what was in the mind of his assassin sharif question. comes. from 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 challis of those newsroom 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 adore 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 in very violent ways. you let satire and press cartoons are supposed to upset people and before provoking that cartoon culture is increasingly getting lost because if she were leaked your desire to be on.

mary's wilensky is trying to maintain her husband's legacy in her own way. i am pleased seeing one of his projects a european house of city press cuttings this is how i continue his fight for press freedom. but. she will also keep publishing her husband's cartoons so that his spirit lives on. all this week we're looking back to the summer of 2015 when an unprecedented number of migrants fled were and poverty in their home countries many of them from syria and headed for europe many of them never made it that sobering reality became crystal clear with this shocking image 5 years ago today the body of syrian toddler alon kirk was photographed after it had washed ashore in turkey he had drowned what

so many others trying to cross the mediterranean the photo became a symbol of the plight of hundreds of thousands of syrians who were trying to reach europe. one of the syrians joins me right here at the big table. made the perilous journey across the mediterranean in 2015 and eventually made it here to germany she later returned to greece to help save the lives of other refugees it's good to have you on the show let me start by asking you about that haunting image there we sell there of. i remember people saying 5 years ago we have to do something so that his death would not have been in vain 5 years later. once the courage nothing changed we still have the same accidents and the same situation happening every single day. not let's call death but still

there's people drowning there is their actions even worse now there's pushbacks people are illegally. been accused of being criminal owes and been sent back to their lands where they actually left fleas in the 1st place because they asked for safety so it's getting worse nothing change there's over 50000 refugees in greece itself or your refugee camp as is the king of the headlines on the news and still nothing's happening so you know why you decided to leave syria because a simple as i lost my home i had no proof on top of my head i wasn't even safe anymore to go to school to i'm a professional somewhere since i was young i could not even go to swim as and the idea of every day saying goodbye to your mom on the door. to go to school and then

not knowing if you're going to syria again i think i just how the right to live in a safe space like everyone else and the dream to a please continue my education so you left syria. until me but the journey you mate . so i left syria with my youngest younger sister usurper which was 17 by then and i was 20. we went from damascus airport we took a flight to turkey which back then there was no visa so it was very easy for us to just fly in and that and you contact of course a smuggler because you need someone to get you into greece and he met us and to stumble and then drove us as a bus for 10 hours to izmir and then from izmir with the good thing gave but of course after we spend 4 nights on the shore with no food no bathroom no shower most even sleeping bag or tent. with 2 girls by themselves.

and that we got in the dingey which was the ones that we had now we've seen them in the canal when we were in berlin or in hamburg or anywhere actually fits for 7 people but we were 20 and we had a 4 years old child with us. we quest we got in the boat and then 15 minutes later the engine broke of course and the boat started sinking because it's overcrowded which is completely logical when you but you but you were able to make it to greece yeah we did we did but by swimming together me and my sister and other people and pushing the boat and if we didn't do that none of us would be a life you know your story there to sit in with you making it to germany even setting up a new life instead you decided to help other refugees tell me about that and what why did you decide to do that because as i said earlier i'm professional summarization rescue swimmer. and then also because i wanted to make sure no one

went through the same experience as i did myself because it's something that traumatic till today 5 years later and i can still. feel it and it's just terrifying for everyone so that was the main reason i can speak arabic and can translate and help and i'm a social rescue swimmer who trained you were arrested in greece of course yes the charge. part of criminal organization money laundering has been. i don't know if more but there's so many because you were helping other refugees yes we are you know in the legal process i know where i am released on bail with my other colleagues and we will wait we are waiting for a trial i suppose to have a trial today in athens but it was postponed. 3 years later and we still waiting got the 30 seconds here if there is one thing that you wish you could have known 5 years ago that you know now what is that that. there is just there's no

justice everywhere unfortunately. and i was completely shocked in the courthouse when i was been accused of these charges and i was quite a mess at taking back home ok because you know it did seem topas exactly and i run away from one justice to find another place well we definitely will be following your story we have big things work out for you sort of marty to be present you can be an adult with us tonight to thank you thank you. our the day is almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either you news or you can follow me and brit go off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day see you then of.
