a citizen of the russian federation. i live in lithuania, vilnius on may 23rd 2021. i flew on the same plane with rum on protests, of which i am the editor of telegram channel black book, which publishes private information about internal affairs officers. so i'm joined now by christine near the executive director of reporters without borders in germany. so welcome to the program. we had just heard that what was likely a confession recorded under duress by the woman who was travelling with rum on protests. of ich, we've also seen a similar video of mister protest of himself. what do you make of these alleged confessions? i mean, for us, it is really an you escalation of the repression against independent journalism and journalists in batteries and in batteries in the last year since since the since the elections in august, at least 400 journalists in the meantime have been imprisoned for

a time and so this is a clear tech press freedom, and that's why a report is about boarded yesterday, filed a complaint against alexander lucas shanker himself under the lithuanian jurisdiction for actually taking hostage of classes in the, in the skies. this isn't these 2 are not the only 2 being designed recently. the cracked down by the regime on journalist embarrass has been ramping. what's the situation like there now? i mean, just the 2 asian is really a serious one because it's really a continuous, permanent, correct, down against independent journalism. but i mean, the fact that there is journalism which can be repressed, which can be that huge means that they're still independent journalists. and so these are the people who we have to empower and which we as reporters, i bought us who we try to empower to assist. but actually the last week really has

been a dark week repress freedom form repression in against gen because took by an important independent media. the practice has been blocked. the newsroom has been seized to have been last week for the journalist and prisons. and so the hostage of savage in the sky was only a per the escalation. and that's why we hope that the complaint which we titled yesterday will have some consequences. these bloggers were detained while traveling within the a you in defiance of international law, should other exile journalists and activists, bloggers and the like. living in europe be worried. i mean, this is indeed a varying call. it a real effect. i mean, already now, generalist bloggers in exile can feel safe everywhere, even in burden where i am based. we know journalists from vietnam, from russia, from tennessee gets down from turkey, who don't feel safe,

who need special protection. but taking hostage of a journalist about this guys, this is something new. and so this is indeed lead to the fact that everybody who is actually flying over a dictatorship now has the risk of being taken hostage. and that's why a clear message is important. hi kristen, the executive director of reporter without borders, thanks very much for your time. thank you. and turn out some other stories making headlines this. our us media reporting that neil prosecutors have conveyed a special grand jury to decide whether to engage former president donald trump on criminal charges. they say the jury will look at evidence from investigations into trumps business dealings, and the alleged payment of harsh money to women on his behalf. everybody knows us, president joe biden has agreed to make his russian counterpart vladimir putin at a summit next month in geneva. it will be their 1st face to face meeting as heads

of state and comes at a time of escalating pensions, the white house, the discussions would, i'm to restore stability to the us, russia relationship. the us secretary of state anthony blanket is on his way to egypt, the latest leg of his middle age to following 11 days of conflict between israel and hamas. he finish talks in israel before boarding his plan to cairo, where he'll meet with president bill fucker. c, c, and they are expected to discuss strengthening. last week's garza sees fire sending urgent aid to garza and finding a long term solution to ongoing hostilities. lincoln pledge for millions of dollars to help reconstruction in the gaza strip in talk with the palestinian president, abbas that he stressed that the international aid must not benefit from a militant there were more let's bringing on. correspondent don, a reg is in haifa, donna anthony, blinking. they're saying he wants to help the people in gaza while bypassing hamas

at the same time. how realistic is that? well, that is quite challenging. one must say that is because the mass is the de facto ruler of the strip. however, we are seeing in the past few days and also ours cues of trucks with humanitarian aid products like medicine, food fuel entering the strip, and they do end up in palestinian civilians hands. so that is definitely an option that's possible. but still a challenge, as i said, because from us is indeed the ruler and the us is reopening. it's palestinian liaison office in east jerusalem and working to try and rebuild trust with palestinian president musket abbas. how is that going down in israel? right, well this is a very different message coming from the, by an administration in washington, a very different from what used to see before with the trump administration. that

is, has cited are side almost every single time with the israeli points of dispute. it almost always took the israeli side. so now we are seeing a shift, an approach, basically telling the palestinians you do have an ear, you do have an address to turn to here in jerusalem. and on the israeli side, within the public. and also officials, this is not seeing as something that is supposed to be instead of the support that the u. s. normally gives to israel, but some somewhat something that is in addition. now of course, anthony will kind of expected to meet with addiction officials. egypt played a key role in brokering this they thought, what can we expect from lincoln visit to caro? right, so both egypt and jordan lincoln is supposed to visit later in the day. they had both playing a key role in mediating between israel and the palestinians for decades. this time, it was egypt that brokered this truce that is still lasting. and egypt also shares

a border with gaza. so it's very likely that blinkin is going to discuss with the foreign minister and the japan president about perhaps we lack the relaxation of border crossing between egypt and the strip and other humanitarian, a possibility of opening the border and, and later with jordan as well tensions relief and help for the gaza strip. right. donna, thanks very much for the update. donna reagan in haifa, on people across the united states have gathered to on a george floyd the black man murdered by a white police officer in minneapolis. one year ago, floyd family met with president joe biden at the white house. they called on congress to pass a law for police reform, floyd's death fuel the black lives matter movement, which highlights police brutality and racism in the us. the real change and accountability. that's what protesters here in

new york and across the united states are demanding 12 months after george floyd to murder. emotions are still role. most of all for his family who met with president joe biden and vice president common higher at the white house as they pushed a pass, a civil rights and police reform bill. if you can make federal law to protect the bird, which just about ego, you can make better allow to protect people. and president biden is optimistic. that reform is on the horizon sometime after world, really boy. but in minneapolis, where george floyd was murdered by police officer, derrick shelven, the proposed law isn't the only element that will lead to change. we are doing

a lot of things to reform. the police or some of their laws would have been a day. that's not really going to stop stuff like this from happening because it's so much beer of the community, but they're mostly working with the community retirement community and they're not doing a good job of that and stuff like that is going to continue to happen. and so they work better with the community now. good police out there. wrong. the bad. they have to find a way to get rid. they have to because that's the only way this is done this time please. department needs to be dismantled and rebuilt and we need a lot more community input. we need to have community patrol for an out the george roy, justice and policing act remain stalled in the us senate. unimportant hurdle to overcome along the path to reform. to south africa now where the former president, jacob's zoom as long standing corruption trial is finally getting on the way they

were, is expected to play not guilty at the trial in relation to a $2000000000.00 deal dating back to the late 1919th. he's facing charges of corruption, money laundering, and racketeering. comes in mid tensions with in south africa ruling. i am a party with them and pay the supporting president. there'll run oppose a push to root out corruption. others, assigning with duma and several other party members accused of croft dw correspondent adrian craig is at the court in peter merit book. adrian, in previous hearing, the jacob zoom didn't even turn up, but i believe he's in the court today. is that correct? who? who? who has just arrived, and as you rightly said, we understand he will plead not guilty to all the charges. i'm outside the court at the moment. right opposite you can see the mess of states in the background. hundreds of reporters have shown up today on the, on the page here. it is written

a hands off in his home province. you still have a massive support base, but in other parts of the country that looks quite different, even within the ruling party, a and the you might have not have that many supported anymore of a charges of money laundering, racketeering and corruption date back to the 19 ninety's, why is it taken so long for these to come to court the right back to 1998. basically, when the deal was done in 2005, one of my former financial advisors was basically found guilty of accepting a bright from the company and passing it on to jacob duma. afterwards they started investigating zoom as well, but the whole process stopped just shortly. before zoom was actually becoming the president of south africa, then in 2018, the old case was picked up again. and ever since then they have been delayed again and again, mainly over technicalities, legal technicalities, for example,

who might changing his legal team or opposing also the prosecutor thing, he is biased or he is not qualified, but basically my point has always been but this is a political conspiracy against him by white monopoly capital. that's what he says, and also by foreign spy agencies. but so far he has never presented any hard evidence on that. how likely is it, do you think that the former president will actually end up in prison? well this case it will direct for months, possibly even yes, more than $200.00 witnesses will come to testify here. so that will take a long time. but there are other cases that are still ongoing. one that's interesting, in particular that they capture commission that was set up by himself as a president, investigating corrupt elements taking over entire institutions. here in south africa, duma was invited to testify, office presidency, he came for some days, but then he said, no, the commission is biased. i'm not showing up any more. the constitutional court rule that he has to show up he failed to do so. this case might actually still

cause him to ends up in jail. this year, w correspondent, adrian craig from the court proceedings in peter math book against south african president, jacob zoom thanks very much for the update. last year, almost $23000.00 migrants from north africa reached the canary islands and thousands more have arrived in the last few months alone. because spain doesn't move people to the mainland campaign to say the islands have become a migrant prison. a court has now overturned that policy, which stopped undocumented migrants traveling to the mainland. w young phillips sholtes reports from gun canario. they are not looking for drugs or counterfeits cigarette. they are checking for people. african migrants trying to get from grand canada harbor to the spanish mainland. they are looking for young men like this one caught on camera by a hub. i work up truck drive

r f i l make some final checks and says it was just a few weeks ago that you phone stole waste on barge to way here. and to more further back of us had broken in that the bank i had to call my boss because that broken this see it is i had typed the refrigeration system on the mac and they would have arrived for frozen today. the stowaway had already made it from northern africa to the canaries. it's less than 100 kilometers from the african coast to the e. u. but most of the 10s of thousands who take that route one to go further to the spanish mainland. more than 1000 kilometers further, know, the spanish authorities have done all they can to prevent that route. becoming an established one, many migrants stuck on the canaries or limbo. some risk their lives to leave. it takes about 2 days to get from here to the spanish mainland,

a long time to hide underneath the truck or inside the container in the dark, not knowing how long the air will last for the next birds ward that people could die on the roots. but those involved know the red, there is the option of a less dangerous journey. people smugglers off a fake id and a plane ticket. authorities recently busted a major on network, operating from hairdresser on southern run, cannady. trying to speak with the police about this. this frustrating, just before the interview with a local spokeswoman effectively called some of the spanish interior ministry, told her not to answer my most interesting questions. in mountain, tell ya, here on the right is used to official unhelpful. is she off? i said, vice 2 migrants in front of the police station, helping them to fill out for general. l. v, i get no help from the government. they are just stuck into big centers on the island. of course,

they turn to people who say they can help form money. it starts at $700.00 euros, but i've heard of one person paying $3000.00. this legal ruling will upset people's smugglers and the spanish government. it says preventing migrants from leaving the canaries for mainland spain is not allowed. daniella and c b one. the case where the argument you cannot simply know who the region into a prison card has made that absolutely clear. and then expedited hearing the judge, the police after locking them migrants mediately the ruling should reduce the number of young men risking their lives on trucks. just to get from one part of spain to another. of more i'm joined by w correspondent, young philip shelter fall that report and full of activists. say the refugees there . i kept like prisoners on the island. you met and spoken with many people there.

how do they describe this situation where the spanish government has been everything, but it's transparent when it comes to the topic of migration. and it's virtually impossible for john to enter some of the can. but i've spoken to many migrants and they've shown me videos from inside seconds, and they are really very, very basic dozens of people in one room at times. but we also have to keep in mind that authority is really happy about when at times we are speaking about more than 30000 migrants that have arrived within a few months. and they are not actually imprisoned in the center. the term prison, of course, is more metaphorical for, for the i as a whole. and we've also seen in recent weeks now, authorities, at least transferring some of the migrants off the island to the mainland. when now, a spanish court is overturned, that policy stopping the undocumented margaret from traveling to the mainland.

what's likely to change? well, it's so far, not the final ruling. we still have to wait for the final ruling will probably be published in a few weeks. but most experts that i talked to say that the ruling will probably be confirmed. and that means that we will see much more migrant trying to, to reach the the mainland official way. for example, boarding a fairy or taking a plane tickets officially buying a plane ticket and taking a plane. and this will make the traffic much bigger for the european union as a whole. of course, of course, it was also the you putting pressure on, on spain to try to keep as many migrant as possible on the island. not to have a new route from africa to, to europe, but obviously things changing now and it will become

a much bigger topic for the you. we are also seeing a lot of migrants arriving at the spanish exclaim of you at the moment and also more migrants in italy. so a lot of experts are already talking about a new era of course driven migration. so this topic will be on the agenda for the next month on her w correspondent, young set of shelter, reporting for us from science canary on and thank you. of the sport now and european football, governing body, you wife has opened disciplinary cases against rail madrid. barcelona, an event is over their roles in attempts to form a super league. they were among 12 clumps who threatened to break away from you wafer, but after a widespread backlash, all except those 3 pulled out of the super league punishments. so their refusal to back down could include a 2 year back from your way for competitions, including the champions league, german cut when as bruce c, a dorman,
