enough belief the video was made under duress, she said you feel free to mail it and there is no doubt that he was taken postage to you was firm in his response. introducing punitive measures against the regime and minns top of the list, bending in airlines from european skies. the us also slept and sanctions on those responsible for, for to see if shes abduction. western powers have widely content. the incident, including nato, the forced landing over passenger flight by bus was dangerous and unacceptable. this is a state jacking and demonstrates how the regime means a tax basic democratic rights. on sunday, i'm and papa, he was traveling from greece to lithuania on or by an airplane. the commercial flight was on was we routed on its way to vilnius and then escorted to men's by

a belt wrist in war plain allegedly because of a bomb threat. but no explosives were found on the aircraft as a co founder and former editor of the nest of channel and telegram privacy, which used his influential voice to royal alexander lucas shankar regime. he now faced this after 15 years in prison. and for more on the story, we can speak now to hannah luba cova about literacy and journalist. and i thank you for joining us. first of all, as we saw there beller, we seen authorities have released this video from one part to see if that that was likely filmed under duress. and that is why we are not showing that video in its entirety, but you know, room and how to save it. so what did you make of this video? or a man definitely looks horrified and he looks very and distressed. his voice is trembling as, as one can listen to one somebody who knows him especially would notice what we also

see is that his nose might be broken and he was so definitely better because he has the marks over his face. they have be in college, but you can still see them. so he is confessing on the video that he took pied keep plotted riots and bowers, which is punishable up to 15 years in prison. but then, how were this confession? kind of taken out of him, was he? well, he was bitten, right. what was he portrait so? so these are questions that we've been asking ourselves and we are really scared. we are really worried about us health and his status condition and lawyer was not allowed to the semi to see him yet. we know that the european union, if demanding his immediate release, european union member states have also agreed on a sanctions for bella. risk can you tell us more about the individuals who might be targeted by these sanctions? the conversations that. 5 well firstly,

the perpetrators responsible for human rights violations and violence would be added to the sanctions. less than these conversations were held like in the past months, this is regarding the police brutality. now, there are talks about those who are responsible for the plane being forced down those individuals for the targets in the you also mentioned economic target functions, which means that those are responsible for financing the regime. look, a shank of financing for finances and he is all of his wallets might be added to this list. okay, so we're talking about a relatively broad spectrum of sanctions there. but our opposition leaders and activists in bella roof satisfied with these measures or firstly, what we have to remember is that this is not about of the asia, and this is not about targeting traffic control sources. and bella was, this is about targeting, look shanker, who me,

who makes decisions personally and kind of cutting or define lantus, cutting all these funds that are coming from, from his all dogs, basically to support the regime to support their oppression. so that something that people expects ochs of is politicians, but also people in both. they want the unit to be stopped. and also we have to remember the goal of the sanction. this is to stop the violence. this is to stop their behavior. and this is the 4th location cut to and the representative of the regime to agree to hold negotiations, leading to new and free and fair election. that's something that the you should not forget. that journalist hannah luba cover speaking to us. thank you very much. now after last night's meeting in brussels, german chancellor, anglo michael dismissed fellow resist explanations of the incident and have this message for the leadership in minutes and see if it's from a prep us. yeah,

that must be released immediately. and all the explanations for the forced landing of the run their flight or implausible the same plots with partners. the c. s a peg . we are demanding their release to let's bring in our political correspond, nina has a hi nina, it's good to see you. what does cancel michael statement there, tell us about where germany stands on this incident? well, it was a very swift response, not just by germany, but also by the u as a whole. it happened very early on and the reactions were explicit. and so domini is still calling for the immediate release of them to and anglo michael i see mentioned potentially freezing. mr. look, i think us bank accounts and you very early on. and now germany is calling for an edge and international investigation by the international civil aviation organization into just what happened and just like in other countries here in 72. on monday, the bell roof in bassett was summoned because the german government officially

protested against what they call the full diversion of the plane and what they call the kidnapping of the process even under partners straight after the events became known. need some people did want to see even tougher measures. you mentioned that the ambassador was summoned, but we haven't seen any ambassadors recalled, for example. so do you think there is an appetite in germany for sending and even stronger message developers? well, by e year's standards, it was pretty strong if you compare it to what's happened in the past. in the past, similar situations we've had, you officially condemned very seriously or strongly monetary situation, etc. so this was a very clear response from the u. 27. having said that, of course they also hear what, for example, the journalist said in this interview that you just did. and germany did make it very clear that they want you to speak with one voice, say, because the response can be much stronger if all 27 act together. but we are,

of course, also all aware of the strong links between delivery and russia. so really we're talking about the relationship between the you and rasa. here and between germany and russia, president putin supports the regime and below route. and so ultimately comes down to the question, how much of a fallout is germany prepared to risk with russia? at this point in time, there is no big appetite for that. here in germany, there is strong economic ties. gemini is holding onto the controversial no stream to gas pipeline. and germans are going to the polls in september. and so the greens are leading the polls current then could well end up forming the next government have announced that they would adopt a much firmer approach towards russia. but with the current government, i don't see a massive strategic change happening in terms of foreign policy. in the months leading up to the election, unless the us, for example, applied presser and 70 to do so. our political correspondent, you know, how so thank you so much. now us secretary of state antony blinkin isn't tel aviv

at the start of the middle east tour. the visit is designed to consolidate the ceasefire between israel and mos militants in the gaza strip. blinking is holding talks with israeli leaders before traveling to meet with the heads of the palestinian authority. jordan and egypt in a bit to open the flow of humanitarian aid into the territory was devastated by israeli airstrikes launched in retribution for mos rocket attacks on israeli cities . at a press conference with israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, lincoln appealed for humanity and empathy. especially in times of conflict. losses on both sides were profound. casualties are often reduced to numbers. but behind every number is an individual human being a daughter, a son, a father, a mother, a grandparent, of best friend. and as the tama teaches to lose a life is to lose the whole world. whether that life is palestinian or israeli. at

that same press conference, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu emphasize the need for international cooperation to ensure stability in the region. we need to work together to expand normalization between israel and arab and muslim world. and deep in the peace treaties that we already have. we discussed also how to improve the lives in the conditions of the palestinians, the managerial conditions in gaza, as well as building economic growth. for julia scenario westbank with the international cooperation and participation. our correspondent, tonya kramer is following the story for us, and she joins us from jerusalem. hi tonya. what more can you tell us about what entity blinkin and benjamin netanyahu have been saying? well, these are the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. first of all,

thing to the american up ministration years president joe biden, for the support. it was right to defend itself. that was very important to him. as a 2nd point already been, you talked about the yvonne nuclear deal. he said he hopes that the us would not go back to the old a nuclear deal that is currently a disgusted international community. and what we just heard often be from prime minister netanyahu talked about peace, but many peace with the nations. the home, of course he was referring to, but also he talked about the humanitarian situation in gaza. and he condition that it needs to get better there. but condition that also on the return of the missing soldiers and also the tooth radio to the house that are being held in garza no. anthony blinking us secretary of state address more. a human inherent situation.

you said it's a very difficult situation in gaza and that he would make a major announcement on a rehabilitation and b building gaza, but also needs to make sure that this doesn't benefit from us. and the only brush the issue of the new kid is very, very briefly. we know that he wants to stabilize the cease fire that's in place. but tanya, looking ahead, is it realistic to expect any steps towards israeli palestinian peace talks? well, that's actually the question here. because at the moment the focus seems to be securing the sci fi that was broken by each of between us and israel and to focus on rehabilitation or reconstruction of gaza. that is very of that it's needed of that needs to be also, you know, discussion about a mechanism to bring in for example, building material. so we are there at the very, very beginning of this,

although the us secretary of fit anthony lincoln address that he said that, you know, needs to be an address of the underlying causes for this conflict. but, you know, we didn't get a sense that anything is being done in this regard to, to find also a political solution to all of this. we are here at the very beginning. it seems. and at the same time we understand also it's important for the american administration at least know, 2 restraints and tie for the policy authority and the occupied westbank is going to meet the policy president mahmoud abbas now in the afternoon because these ties had been trained under the trump administration, our correspondent, tonya kramer, reporting from jerusalem. thank you. let's get around it. now. some other headlines at this hour, the vice president of molly says he has seized power from the civilian president and prime minister. the pair lead a transitional government that took power after last year's qu,

family and other activists or she, their anger. hardly any one here is satisfied with the progress made in the past 12 months. one year after the death of george floyd, people marching police reform here in minneapolis and in cities across the united states. they st. george hard murder, a man, but at least 180 african americans have until the police last year to europe gara away lost her fiance during a police operation. she says the state of minnesota is up before for on the police brutality against black people today is very important because this is the day that revealed us about everything that they didn't do. it was people here in atlanta, minnesota 1 may see at a rally in front of the minneapolis courthouse where george lloyd's murderer was

follow soon. and german football, outgoing buyer, and mean a coach. henzy flick, assigned a 3 year contract to coach the german national team. flick, who's byron team lifted the bonus, a trophy on saturday. we'll take over from yogi lewis. who is leaving the post after this summer's european championships? the rivers have been flying ever since honey flick confirmed in april that he wanted to leave by and munich at the end of the season. know that the f b, germany's football federation has confirmed that flick will take over from the coach. he assisted in germany, won the world cup in 2014. after the summers postponed european championship. you will be love is to step down after 15 years in charge. and the flick era can begin flick left by an underclothes his relationship with sporting director, hassan's tele hommage, apparently beyond repair. but d f, b, director oliver be off, says his old colleague is a man who brings people together. the flick. secondly,

did that the buyer and the recent vendors league triumph expanded an incredible trophy hole in munich, 7, including last year's champions league, and all in little over 18 months and charge that record should give him the quote to command respect in the german dressing room. philip superstars who and players like thomas miller on monday with noah. there will be a few familiar faces to put in a good word for the new man. and oliver moody from d. w. sports is with us here in the studio. hi only. so this has been expected for a while, but why do you think that honey flick has been chosen for this job? for quite simply say me, he was the obvious candidate to take over farm yogi live. you have to consider the phenomenal success that he's had at by and in recent times to come in as pretty much a know this head coach into that dressing room with all these big reputations and names. and so when the treble in his 1st season and not even a full season or not is an unprecedented level of success. and then continuing that

this seasons when the league again. and i think what he's shown in that time more than anything is that he really knows how to bring players together. he really knows how to give them a sense of stability and unity and confidence. and these are things that are very important and international football where you're bringing players together from different teams and trying to make them gel. and when you think about the time as well as flick, supposedly having some personal problems with the bi and bosses at the same time as yogi love is looking to quit as the germany coach off of europe and championship, it was just to get an opportunity for the german football associations pass up ok, but does that success that he's had with buyer and actually translate to the international stage? what we flick already does have some experience in international football and some success as well. it was a part of your love coaching sets up for a number of years, including the 2014 woke up, which was obviously the high point of general football in recent times. germany winning the welcome to complaints about and say look, i know how to win trophies in international football. i've been there and done it.

i think it was. i have to think about lives, relationships with some of the by and players. there are 8 by and plays in the current germany squad, including the big names like manuel noise and thomas miller, unusual chemist, influential plays in the germany sets up and he has this great relationship with them already. look, international football is an unpredictable beast by football standards. but flick, and germany really do have all of the ingredients to be successful in the coming years beforehand. if i takes ever, we do still have the european championships the summer. so can you go out on a high high you put me on the spot at look at the big question for all gemini funds out there this summer, there's no doubt that standards have dropped since the 2014 heyday. the 2018 woke up with a shambles. the reputation of the germany team has plummeted. you'll get love reputation to i think it's fair to say that's one of the reasons that he's throwing in the towel off the european championship. but look, this is phyllis team with a lot of talent, the buying guys that i mentioned already,

plus the likes and i have 2 more van, a doing the one who will all be playing in the champions league final. it's clear that there's still a lot of talent in this germany say, i wouldn't make the favorites, but i wouldn't roll out a glorious lives once on either. alright, oliver, really from dw sport. thank you so much. now the us has warned its citizens against traveling to japan, where corona, virus cases remain high. the japanese government says the travel advisory will not affect the olympics due to begin in tokyo, in less than 2 months time. the international olympic committee says the event will go ahead despite low approval ratings and vaccination rates in japan, in order to boost its in occupation campaign. japan has just opened math vaccination centers. it aims to immunized $36000000.00 elderly citizens before the start of again the offices of a former tax office in tokyo. now, one of japan's 1st mass of explanation centers everyone over the age of 60 families
