the the was, ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, another blow to press freedom in hong kong. editorial staff at a for democracy newspaper are arrested after a massive police rate. they're accused of colluding with foreign powers. also coming up in the us and russian president holds what they call constructive talks in geneva at their 1st meeting, joe biden and brought him recruiting, promised to work together, pretensions and divisions remain. as 5 days after seeing their teammate, present erickson collapse,

denmark are back in european championship action tonight. we'll find out how they're feeling about a return to the scene of the incident. ah . time see me so much gone. that's good to have you with us. we start in hong kong or china crack down on descent is intensify. $500.00 police officers have rated the offices of the pro democracy newspaper. apple daily. they arrested 5 executives, including the editor in chief ryan law. authorities accused the paper of reaching the national security law was imposed by beijing, apple dailies, building our founder and democracy activism. jimmy ly has been in jails in december on a number of charges. and let's go to hong kong now for the very latest on the story . our correspondence kong is standing by 4th there high. phoebe tell us more about what happened in these res

has sense that the rest is the 1st one targeting media coverage under the national security law. we were told by apple they reported today that they so the south and the channel, the what bars from entering the news that they were prevented from? like that's the thing that watching documents and the general they say materials and also the notebook and computer this and so on. so these are pretty much difference from the last one in last august in 2020. that we didn't know much about, like, what's going on inside the news for journalists are not allowed to report, or even a reprint of the presence inside. the sudden the auditorium workspace and the security officials also order to freeze access of all 3 companies like

to oppose the media and higher amounting to $1800000.00 hong kong dollars. so it also raised questions on whether the newspaper can still publish the news in the future. you touch on the tv, but this is the 2nd raid on apple daily in under a year. what has made it a target for hong kong authorities for daily newspaper? it's a very critical pro democracy lawyer or a newspaper in hong kong. jimmy ly boy has known me and i was looking for the chinese communist party. the chinese and most of the hong kong government sees himself, was arrested for national security charges last year. and now southern child sentenced inside pickup and other charges. the 2019 anti government movement out at this time. the government accused apple daily newspaper as

a whole all publishing. it's also a printed an online articles calling for sanctions against china and hong kong. so this is the reasoning behind the rest and based that's, that absolutely is not an ordinary news organization because they are actually making use of reporting to endanger national security. what's been nearly a year since the national security law came into force. are the effects now becoming ever more severe in hong kong? yes, definitely. the impact is undoubtedly becoming more tangible as we're approaching and the anniversary of the implementation of national security law. us our politicians and from activists joshua long and july arrested. and now even like, generally, like executive in the news from breast. so it's really sense and alarming and not

only to the position came, but the society as a whole, especially the direct line is if things heightened by the authorities further that people are getting more than certain, like what it said by what is said under the national security and the, regarding the accusations made by the authorities of the union of the daily newspapers. they strongly lay objects of this kind of accusation, saying that this is a place an attack on press. be them fear that it's kind of action will further in the the check in thought comb correspondence the become reporting for us there. thank you. now, joe biden, and let me put and have described their summit in geneva as positive. it was their 1st meeting since by president, and it comes at a time when ties between the us and russia are at rock bottom. the 2 leaders agreed to hold more talks on nuclear arms control, but differences remain on many issues,

including cybersecurity and human rights. a highly anticipated meeting against the backdrop of frosty relations kilobyte and vladimir putin succeeded in breaking the ice. the 2 leaders met for 3 hours in geneva, over several issues of contention and emerge with a hint at progress. we should be able to cooperate where it's in our mutual interest and where we have differences i want to president couldn't understand why i say what i say and why i do what i do and how will respond to specific kinds of actions that harm america's interest. among the issues biden, once had russia to address with cyber attacks, something put in, deny being involved, and, and when american count about brought up human rights on the imprisonment of the russian opposition leader, alexia vonny, put in, refuse to mention the name of the man in question states,
