straight from the top other activists saying poison is just one tactic the crimean uses against its enemies and sudan declaring a state of emergency because of floods more than a 100 people a dog and thousands are homeless the rising nile river is also threatening ancient pyramid. our viewers in the u.s. on p.b.s. and our viewers all around the world welcome we start tonight in the rooms and some dramatic developments in the mystery about what has happened to leading opposition figure maria kolesnik over kolesnik over with missing on monday sparking intense speculation about her whereabouts. released these pictures they said. they detained

kolesnik over all she was trying to escape or cross the border into ukraine now into opposition members who were with her in the same car have spoken out providing some dramatic new details. are for there's a tales i'm joined now by resnick aman a journalist in the capital minsk she has more of that snow it is good to have you on the program so what did these associates of kolesnik call the what did they say what happened. well the. executive secretary and the press secretary they told the story of how they were. forced to go to the crane and they told that mario where it was also forced to go she resisted to go and on the. train and border she tore a passport so she couldn't be in another country and just walked away

and. now has a new mandate and just went to the ukraine and. they say she was probably contained in k. if we're looking at pictures now from the british press conference of those 2 associates of hers when they gave that information today do we have any information about the whereabouts of maria kolesnikov but it. this is very complicated the border committee has set they confirmed the detained my way kolesnikov on the ukrainian border but they deny and to give any other information about her location or reason of detention and about to press secretary of my us kolesnik arrest so they have information that speaks and speak at the. border division of the town was there which is which is close to the ukrainian border

we know that a number of opposition activists they have been forced to leave the country or they've simply disappeared is this weakening the opposition movement in. well you know you need to understand the process not arcanite by kolesnikov or by or anyone else of course the opposition politician they take part in this demonstrations. by the end of clear political leaders so all. the people with the protests will go on. just just just like that is there is no concern of consequence of the consequences of this is their concern that these protests will continue and reach a point where the president. will then ask russia to send in its military.

well there is now such fears here the demonstrate they protest so they only one. had to go so they just. go on the streets and that's all they want ok resnick all of a joining us tonight the latest from minsk nice to thank you thank you. well for the past 4 weeks the bellerose in capital minsk seen mass protests demanding president lukashenko resign last week and around 600 people were arrested as police continue their crackdown on dissent 2 victims of that crackdown spoke to d.w. news about what they have experienced. peaceful protesters call on the police to join the riot officers react with the torrent of violence. scenes that have played out almost nightly embellishes fiery summer

of revolt. it's because it's the last are coming who has seen and experienced the washed of it too graphic for us to show them about in the political ads. the case vehicle the job but what they know is that if they saw the ballot. i'm not blows rained on me from all of them they started to beat me right here. the coat of arms has become a potent symbol of the uprising that has seen thousands summarily our breast. hundreds kicked punched and tortured. and. even threats of rape. only at the go the policeman turned my head so i could see them and he began theatrically putting a condom on about toe. and while doing it he told me that i have about 5 seconds to

see my password from my phone but it. won't go that far but order lots of the former human rights groups say there are at least 500 active complaints of police torture among them not of computer program of law to me a rich. your particular got in the store i asked to call my lawyer and another policeman suddenly kicked me in the belly with this me i was standing in have been position so i felt in my belly very well then i got another 5 kicks you know it what you could afford professional or. portable to. justice for the victims is unlikely throughout these protests delarue says president alexander lukashenko has priest state security forces. well into the case of the russian opposition leader of lexi novolin today moscow

summoned the german ambassador overstatements spied the german government about the poisoning of nevada on monday awoke from a medically induced coma in a hospital here in berlin his doctors say that there is unequivocal evidence that the volley was poisoned with a form of know a soviet era nerve agent the german chancellor has called the poisoning attempted murder. well then of all the cases ignited a debate in the german parliament about hell the government should respond one suggestion has been to halt the construction of the nord stream to gas pipeline that is supposed to bring russian natural gas here to europe if russia fails to investigate in the baltic case 2 members of the foreign affairs committee they are opposed to that they favor a european response instead they explained their positions. the main question is not should we pursue the north stream to the main question is how

should we tackle russia in russia there is an atmosphere created by the government well obviously people feel motivated to kill or positions or people who are against the government so if we need a response this response must be unanimous from the european union so we need a european also to show that we are a society and closely aligned with the international rule based order which was really violated by this event in russia against nominee and stop for not seemed survive stopping northeast. seems to would not mean that russia would then have no income from exporting oil or natural gas. americans and europeans import billions of dollars in oil and gas from russia even though north stream 2 hasn't been completed so it's a bit of a phony debate i'm in favor of the e.u. introducing a sanction mechanism which punishes people responsible for severe human rights

violations. in place for that would really hurt the click around putin the clean infantry. well the case of a legacy of all that has parallels with that of another russian opposition figure who was poisoned 2 years ago he says the use of the nerve agent novi joke tells us that the volleys poisoning goes all the way to the top in moscow. correspondent yuri risch other reports. fighting for it but 2 years ago the activist was left fighting for his life struck down by a poison his situation was similar to that of the lexan of only but unlike novell me there were no signs of the nerve agent novacek. raise terrible as you can with my poison he wasn't as bad as his i was able to recover more quickly i was already

able to speak in the 2nd week of recovery but not the chalk is an extremely strong point and we were at it doesn't make a difference that we want to heart someone or kill them. chocolates paffendorf or committing murder. for the way. like never only seal off was treated of berlin show me terry hospital. no one could confidently identify the substance that had been given to him his symptoms prompted the doctors to suspect poisoning but were never only of us the law says there is no doubt. the fact that nobody caught what used clearly points to the russian president up them. or one thing is only secret agents have access to this specific. thing where you know it's with you it will come this operation could only have been carried out with the approval of law to me a person. with a right we're going to put the. other opposition figures have been targeted with

less deadly means among them is independent politician dimitri good cough one year ago he was barred from standing in the moscow city council elections and jailed. for 36 day. with me was another gallium enough an independent local politician and a prominent figure in the mass protests in moscow one year ago she still faces charges for participating in demonstrations. that border the let's put it that you live in an authoritarian country in a dictatorship this began when putin was voted into office thousands. of strongly in your human rights aren't part of the equation here freedom and justice don't exist here you can be jailed every time you call for people to join a protest. in the face of intimidation play out of a seal off refuses to very solid since his recovery he has become politically active in moscow again and that despite the fact that he has

a young daughter sister with me. i want my friends my family and my daughter to live in a wonderful country without and his disgusting system that years of getting war i'm sure we can achieve this goal of this thing more. until then people to oversee loaf won't let his daughter go out alone at night from every morning he's by her side and the want to school. 2 australian journalists have returned home from china after being caught in a 5 day diplomatic standoff michael smith of the australian financial review and bill burbles from public broadcaster a.b.c. were forced to take shelter in australian diplomatic missions in china after their homes were raided and before they left china they were questioned by chinese authorities about an australian t.v. anchor working for chinese state t.v. with smith and burbles departure there are now no australian journalist reporting

in china. or earlier we spoke to bill burbles one of the 2 australian journalists who left china and we asked him to outline for us the events that led to him returning to australia this was a very unexpected situation just as i was preparing to break the story of the other of the time to stray and chung late last monday my bosses here in sydney received a call from a stray is our affairs the ottman sighing we have good reason to think that i and another journalist in shanghai need to get out quickly and the 1st couple of days it's pretty hard to get slots cut so while rice moving my we were also questioning where is the bosses coming from you know being journalists are pretty cynical and we want some day tiles but on wednesday night kind of clear it meet nice when 6 state security police bust

a translated stand up on my doorstep the most curious thing was they weren't there to tide me they were there to tell me that i'm involved in a national security case and therefore i'm not allowed to leave the country but they said you still have freedom of movement you still free to go around. do whatever your business. i said we will call you the next night and we need to chess and this sort of spa a magic situation where of course i went to the stratton embassy and said what's your advice on iran. and i said we think you should study eve. and that was australian journalist bill burbles there speaking with us earlier let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world israel and the united arab emirates are expected to sign an agreement to normalize relations between the 2 next week israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will join the u.a.e. u.s. foreign minister abdullah bin sayed in washington next tuesday the u.a.e.

celsius hampering efforts to control the flames. one month ago a massive explosion rocked the lebanese capital beirut killing more than $100.00 people and injuring many many more the city is still reeling from the destruction the effects are particularly hard on children who can develop long term problems if their trauma is not treated soup he wus resigns out and met the family of one girl who is still suffering from the aftershocks. yet outside aid is just 4 years old but she's suffering from post-traumatic stress despite her apparent good mood she's easily triggered. today for example we wanted to go to hospital for her treatment but we couldn't because she was too scared when we drive she sees broken glass everywhere back memories and she gets

scared when she sleeps she sometimes wakes up with a start when she hears a noise or something when she sleeps alone she screams we try to calm her down. the trauma of the port explosion is on view across the city an unrelenting reminder of how fast lives can be ripped apart. child psychologist crystal madani is part of a red cross team that tends to the youngest and most fragile to help repair their emotional damage before it's too late she's trained in methods to help survivors of wars and torture rebuild their lives. so the aftermath of this you choke on children has an impact on their daily functioning but also on the in their life this is why with the intervention that the i.c.r.c. does at this level is to help contain the whole family so that the photos feel safe

and assured in order for them to reassure the children in bitter. but yet outside lives in a country that already had many problems before the explosion that makes getting back to normal even more complicated. every. bit of it we can't continue to live like this in this country i am very concerned about my daughter because there is neither stability nor security i would like to take my son or daughter and wife with me and leave the country when it might feel for the president of it's too early to tell with jada but he said my downy says there's reason for hope. but we also know that children are very resilient so with graphic kid and with profit intervention most of the children hopefully will overcome this and this trauma and we're not develop. further symptoms and further mental health difficulties. recovery and overcoming trauma

a complex task both for jada and the city she calls home floods in sudan are continuing to threaten communities and important historical sites as the nile river swells to record levels authorities are pumping the water out to save the ancient ruins in a row in newry which are 2 of sudan's most important archaeological sites and the flooding has killed more than 100 people and left thousands homeless sudanese authorities have declared a 3 month state of emergency. well for more on the humanitarian situation there i'm joined by john roche in nairobi he oversees the red cross and red crescent efforts in sudan it's good to have you on the program give us an idea of just how bad it is right now and is the worst still to come.

yes thank you we've been monitoring this since early june when the forecasts were looking quite bad and i think our worst fears of are coming different and there has been heavy rain since july and recently. 16 out of a king states are now affected and i think from pictures that you would show or. you can watch anywhere and there is mass worker i've heard. this is impacting people houses are destroyed. infrastructure is destroyed and that this will impact on people's livelihoods it's only unfolding as the figures that you that you use. we are going to come much much higher and higher information now is being you have teams out assessing and we i mean if you have 68 out of 18 states this is really just to bring to context this is a country in transition i mean just just just that you need to understand what's

happening a transitional government with right massive humanitarian needs confronted with an ongoing economic crisis internal conflict and on top of it 1000. our fears are it will get worse because as traditionally would floods not on this scale even on a smaller scale usually when the waters recede and you have possible epidemics such as cholera so. that's really the concern let me ask you these pictures we're seeing a dramatic is it hard to access the people who need help most right now. obviously . now in many of the parts where where where where the water is is difficult yes it's difficult but we work through the national body as i said we're a membership organization to crash the red cross we we are one of the biggest largest humanitarian networks in the world as we bring in support from from

everywhere but we rely on our 1st responders which are the volunteers of the sudanese red crescent now on the front lines and you can imagine. working on months already dealing with. out doing risk communication trying to work with their communities in keeping them safe i'm just a situation now where they have to evacuate people and and and and provide shelter . in a very new world that we live in where we have to provide social decency this is most would descaling the numbers that we're talking about so. the numbers are not not realistic numbers that we are being portrayed now we have to get worse john we've certainly appreciate your time in updating us on the situation in sudan thank you thank you for. a bleak warning for european
