a doubt he was poisoned with a form of the soviet era nerve agent no german chancellor angela merkel today called it attempted murder a crime to silence dissent germany the european union the u.k. and the u.s. are all demanding an explanation from moscow tonight a new diagnosis from the west with dell full consequences for the russia vladimir putin. berlin this is the day. i think scene of any alexei navalny with a victim often attacked with a chemical agent often at the top 3. this makes it that those responsible in russia be identified to justice it's holding to. the kids the very serious questions have come up and even russian government and must.

listen to see to some of his now up to russia to prove it isn't a dictatorship and not to perspex democratic values to the mccutcheon or dispute the submission and i declined that things have on the contrary to the values of the fundamental rights we defend. also coming up he was responsible for the execution of thousands in cambodia as brutal regime today died in prison tonight the role that he played in what became known as the killing field. that i would like to acknowledge and my legal responsibility. can someone get back for all of the crimes that happened that s 21. to our viewers. yes in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the dire

medical diagnosis of one man and possible severe side effects for russia and its relations with the west today germany confirm that the prominent kremlin critic alexina volley was poisoned with a form of the nerve agent no veto almost 2 weeks ago suddenly became ill in siberia he was flown to berlin for treatment and remains in intensive care now the name no we joke we've heard before it was used 2 years ago in england to poison former russian spy and sergei scrip all and his daughter the british government blamed russia in protest more than 20 countries expelled more than a 100 russian diplomats and unprecedented act at the time that apparently did little to stop the use of no veto tonight the german chancellor is demanding an explanation from russia and she is not alone the european union the u.k. 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 any electorate with the victim

of an attack with a chemical nav agent of and know your child create. this poison identified unequivocally in tests. so it's clear that the that for me is not a victim of a crime. as opposed to be silenced and i together with you entire german government condemning 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 the german chancellor there with very strong language for until america we have team coverage of today's developments i'm joined by correspondent kate brady here in berlin and yuri rashad 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 bundestag 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 anglo-american says that is proof that aleksei in a valley was indeed the victim of a crime and they and 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 that roll in the in 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 to scoff spokesperson of the russian president vladimir putin sad to that the kremlin would 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 on not based on any evidence and that the reactions from the route russian parliament was expected and they called it provoked haitian dictated by political motives that could be organized by the united states to stop because the gas project the north stream to between russia and germany the european union and nato they've had to deal with a similar cases before involving nobody 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 i would of course be to slap some sanctions on specific people in

russia even on businesses of vessels very poor and as a review would depend on how moscow decides to cooperate or not waive and in the end it so that part is in the coming days but as you are he says so you father response from moscow has been rather hazy already don't we used to here in berlin your shadow in moscow to both of you thank you. for russia's opposition activism publications the news from germany today confirmed what they'd never dealt it would you take a look at once leonid vocals and senior aide to the likes you have all need tweeted today he writes in 2020 poisoning the ball me with nobody joke 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 amir putin. well my next guest is a political ally of o. like c. no volley of let me or i'm sure coffin is executive manager of deval needs

nonprofit anti corruption foundation the u.k. granted him politically asylum in 2015 after russia sold to extradite him on in belgium and charges you 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 milledge a great talks in was used to assess and ate the volley who has emerged as the most trying to trust the opposition puts it squarely points at 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 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 assessing nations 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 alton and his clique continue to reside and is it western capitals with no obstacles whatever 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 awful accent of ali and they will continue fighting that has been the story of freedom fighters all over the world we never had the doctors here in berlin who are treating links in of on the 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 organization. and media organization 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. has been doing so i think the movement will continue. even though for now we feel great absence of alexei i hope that she recovers soon and she recovers fully and will get 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 know the drill 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 she did much anywhere at the same time of course i feel much safer now in london that i was elated on the space of last hope or as the recent events show alexa that wisely on that is russian. and is a summation. not the 1st it follows this tree off attempts on life afresh and political and civil activists and some of that fat and that tragically

like maurice that's absurd it just doesn't shift. vladimir of her cough joining us tonight from london and what 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 refugee stories coming up in just a moment. and into areas killer in cambodia as genocidal c'mere rouge regime has died at the age of $77.00 comrade doyle 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 the door exult to transform cambodian to

a classless peasant society 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 conrad dyke arrives at a buddhist temple in phnom penh for crim a sion after years of poor health the former camaro rouge leader 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. can be 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 me and the sama because specially the torture and execution of people who are there. someone. out to be with. them so 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. the crimes of the regime he served and his role in particular still weigh heavily on cambodian society.

religion 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. 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 is dead it's all over. death 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. and more than 5 years ago in paris islamist attacked the satirical magazine charlie and the jewish supermarket they murdered 70 people before being shot by police but

they had accomplices who escaped their trial has now begun now the magazine was targeted because he published cartoons of the prophet muhammad you know be used lisa lewis the widow of one of those killed. were in ski is still traumatized 5 years ago her husband was killed in the islamist attack on shall yet 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 in some of them i become my husband and live through his last moments facing the kalashnikov suboxone. mary's is one of the plaintiffs in the court

case she's hoping the hearings will provide her with some answers and many. more are. passing on a decision i need to understand as best as i can what was in the mind of his assassin chemise 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. they said yes if you write satire and press cartoons are supposed to upset people and before provoking that cartoon culture is increasingly getting lost scituate really get your desire to be on. 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 city press 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. 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 then 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 kurt 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 village nothing changed we still have the same accidents and the same situation happening every single day. let's call death but still those people drowning there is there actually is even worse now there's pushbacks

people are illegally. been accused of being camillo's 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 changed 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 as 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 so was this i was young i can 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. you left syria. to me but the journey you made. so i left syria with my youngest younger sister usurper which was 17 by then and i was 20. we went from the mascot's airport we took a flight to turkey which back then there was no business it was very easy for us to just fly in and then 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 is near with the good thing gave but of course after we spend 4 nights on the shore with no food no bathroom no shower and even sleeping bag or tent. with 2 girls by themselves. and that we got in the dingey which was the ones that we have now we see them and

they can also when we in berlin or in hammer or go 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 yes 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 know your story there visiting 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 swimmer and such an 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 to 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 translate and help and i'm a social rescue someone who trained you were arrested in greece of course is the charge in part of criminal organization money laundering. i don't know if more but there's so many because you were helping other refugees yes we were you know in the legal process i know where i am released on bail with my other colleagues and we were where we awaited 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 so 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 him back home ok because you know that it seems hopeless exactly and i run away from one justice to find another place well we definitely will be following your story we have been things work out for you sort of marty to be present you communicate 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 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 if put. to good.

old boy. have you flown lately. everywhere and trace during last year's the coronavirus pandemic has come down to the airplanes for why. the entire industry has to reinvent itself. now careening between 1st optimism and despondency. optical. conflicts these days america's religious rights are in the spotlight

few worse groups are active in europe and elsewhere seeking zouma told a whole raft of moolah for the legalize the most of the things abortion and gay money the world congress of families provides a fall full platform for such groups for this week one of those found those aluko joins me from rockford illinois. conflict zone. in 60 minutes d.w. . like oh my god. my god says i was food for the russians on. your street. so many different walks of life. some are pumping. oddly trying but all

of them come straight from the heart of its former c.e.o. people because there's no money dealers in the marsh who are injured. from the 1st of the world to their final resting place the russians d.w. documentary. in. a 99 percent drop in paying customers the coronavirus pandemic has been wreaking havoc in many sectors of the economy but the airline industry has been feeling the turbulence even more severely than most and even with some of the fleet returning to the skies the impact on airlines an aircraft makers is set to be long lasting

ground it over 19 and the airline industry that's our focus this week on mate i'm chris kober it's good to have you aboard when covert 19 had europe earlier this year it didn't take long for airlines to react as one country after the next imposed lockdowns flights were canceled all over the world take a look at how the crisis affected the aviation industry the. first slump came as early as february by may and june there was a 70 percent decrease in global air traffic compared to the previous year it still hasn't recovered even in mid august air traffic was only at 50 percent of its pre-code at $1000.00 levels now the pandemic marks a turning point for this trillion dollar industry carriers and many factors are in freefall putting the x. on jobs and former prestige projects take airbuses giant double decker a $380.00 for example the 4 engine jet was always a fuel thirsty undertaking now without paying passengers to fill

a seats airlines have lost interest in the world's largest airline are now our business phasing out production and we went to say of what the last of its kind. whenever one of these huge planes was to be assembled over a nearby abas plant sections of the fuselage had to pass through live in yank villages timed out for the festive procession and to say hello this time in june it was also to say goodbye. number 270 was the last a 380 to be built that's when the series was unveiled 15 years ago it marked a revolution the world's biggest passenger plane now it's been discontinued. i think that people would have loved to to have the sec rough you know being produced for a longer period of time anyway again i think everybody is very proud about the

aircraft and what it means to help us to know how the skills that we developed along those is very important then to pave the way for the future innovation like a reference of. the a $380.00 is so extravagantly enormous it's positive eat all inspiring. people have grown fond of it even if they don't work for adults. i think it's a it's a mixed feeling between a bit of sadness. but also a lot of a lot of pride. and again i'm very proud to have been part of this journey i think that you felt the passion of all the people i think that the bus would not be a bus without a future yeah even worldwide i mean anybody is able to recognise the few 80 and this is not a given for any aircraft flying around the work. day

a 380 was designed to hold as many as 850 passengers on its today but times have changed and the lines. no longer aim to cram as many people as possible into huge planes smaller fuel efficient models a call for now. the end of the road for the a 380 came too soon for us the development costs less huge and can hardly have been offset by sales at the same time the pandemic is devastating the industry a large part of the global commercial air fleet remains grounded airlines that were doing well and now facing bankruptcy the german state had to rescue love tenser with a 9000000000 euro bailout orders for new planes have been cancelled or have failed to materialize. production advice has been cut back sharply thousands of workers are working reduced hours. as they are still

a big cliff both of course we've been hit hard as a manufacturer and we have to respond appropriately we've studied past disruptive events such as 911 and sars they all had a negative impact but not as great as the pandemic as we have to find a way to emerge from the crisis swiftly rise up from this low point given the enormity of the crisis we're talking about years not months we won't get back to where we were until at least 202035 there will be no return to normality before that. you know material for it so what's on it how to go there and clear corporate coffee up with. ever since pinning its hopes on its a 350 series introduced in 2015 it's quiet fuel efficient and state of the art. piloted this one on its 1st flight at a bus in toulouse his airline loved one so ordered it some years ago and this was

the acceptance flight bang in the middle of the deepest crisis and of tenses history. if you. before you fight an open minded policeman it's an important gesture for my colleagues at home on short time work. if this be free of applied on this is a difficult time but it's important to look ahead. the 1st time you've been there for a bit it doesn't quite work you. know if tense or inspectors check every detail of the plane windows seats safety features. everyone tree sit down and ask your seat belt secure. the list price of an a 350 is 300000000 euros before purchase a paste the full amount is pilots put the plane through its paces. right now last time so it is in the process of shrinking its fleet buying

a new plane was controversial within the company. for devices that most see it as a glimmer of hope of course colleagues are asking why why now and why couldn't delivery be postponed but most appreciate it's a contract is binding he can't just say i don't want the plane now it's a sign that we're getting going again i should of all that. it's a limb or of hope for the airline and for the manufacturer of us pilot thomasville hence says every plane that gets built help secure jobs. that once is reached it does feel it's important for us to maintain production albeit at a lower level so it's a good feeling and a positive sign that we continue to deliver such big planes it also shows that lufthansa and the aviation industry and air bus are confident that things will take off again even if the steps are small and slow it's in dozens with all threats good

opens their lungs on this that this is optimism is all well and good. but nobody actually knows what commercial aviation will look like in the future for example of tensors switching some planes from carrying passengers to freight and has therefore removed rows of seats social distancing may be with us for some time and passenger planes too might be facing a redesign less sardine tin more limousine angles look at so designs cabins for abah us he says it's crucial to make passengers feel safe so they're willing to fly even during the pandemic i'm here in the ventilation system exchanges and filters the air in the cabin every 2 or 3 minutes until i thought it circulates downwards to help ensure the air was free of viruses. on the air quality is comparable to that in

a hospital surfaces in the washrooms have antibacterial coatings and there are no techs controls so that is a very good starting point a strong basis for ensuring hygiene safety in the air. the other heads of. the maiden flight of its new a 350 may have gone well but abbott has announced it intends to cut 15000 jobs while as wide. there. tens of thousands of jobs on the chopping block that's been one of the results of the dramatic decline in international air travel giant fields of unused aircraft have become an eye catching indicator of the problem here are some more facts to illustrate the full extent of the industry's crisis. before the coronavirus an average of more than 1000000 people were

traveling by plane at any given time the pandemic reduced the number to less than 100000 the u.s. and britain have been especially hard hit by the aviation crisis. industry accounts for 3 percent of their g.d.p. . it's estimated that up to 64 percent of commercial aircraft were grounded lines attempts to sell off aircraft in usually unsuccessful carry is all over the world have declared bankruptcy a few received government bailouts germany's lift answer was given a rescue deal of 19000000000 euros. hong kong's cathay pacific received 4500000000 the u.s. bailout plan for airlines is worth 42000000000 euros but it may not be enough for the international air transport association has warned that the crisis could last

years. especially if rather than sending staff to their customers and business partners around the world companies continue to hold more video conferences instead . video conferences are something we hear the w. have also been getting used to they help us stay on the air. for staying in the air freight business is the one bright spot for aviation right now it's booming and no wonder as a result of the pandemic people are shopping online like never before our reporter . paid a visit to leipsic airport logistics giant d.h.l. operates an international air freight hot. d.h.l. freighter arrives crammed full with express packages. manager evo inside it

is in charge of unloading and rerouting. his planes just arrived from zagreb. the ramp team has just one hour to unload and reload the plane. the number of flights has definitely risen this year and there are more known night landings. on the numbers going up to 65 and sometimes there are more than 70 and croft. expressed in livery service d.h.l. is international business in the eastern german city of leipzig for years business has continued to improve from what is the world's largest logistics company. during the pandemic it specialists served to use every centimeter of available cargo space in their dedicated transport planes. as the coronavirus crisis broke global passenger flights screech to a halt vastly slashing capacities for air freight as well that's work to do you

charles advantage if you're saying we've been experiencing growth for years but especially now. you're in the coronavirus crisis and we've seen all the airlines reduce their capacity and if you consider that 60 to 70 percent of freight volume is normally transported in the holds of passenger planes you can imagine that if the airlines disappear and that capacity goes that things will start piling up elsewhere instead. tonight's assignment involves sorting 400000 express packages and bulky items. after arriving in leipzig the packages are then loaded on to other planes for the next leg of their journey. 2000 employees work the night shift here.

pay to be counted is in charge overnight they have 2000 tonnes of parcels to process on this shift and that's why. we have to make sure that no parcel is left behind this is a trans shipment hub goods come in and they go straight out again all over the world you know it's one. sends out freight to more than 500 airports every day using the main commercial flight routes flying 1st to major hubs and then on to smaller airports. the pace of work is fast 30 containers have to be unloaded from the whole of the plane. to go and sidle deals with 8 planes a night. we've attached a clock to that plane and it's counting down the aim is to empty it in that time it's often thought that the machine at the end. she has 30 minutes to do that.

the night shift is the busiest here and goes from 9 pm to 6 am. it's when the largest number of staff members work. because most of us people pay good money to have beds in livery by 6 in the morning or by noon we are in charge of making sure everything means as fast as possible. a typical delivery looks like this at 2 pm some $100.00 or he says she wants to send a parcel to rome an hour later it's collected from the customer or truck takes it to the d.h.l. gateway airport. by 7 pm it's on a d.h.l. cargo plane to hong kong.
