no diplomat, no relatives, no much need to wear aloud into this court for nobody could see how my husband and the other poets go, prisoners are strong and low to inspire other people with the base rent. but we know that then not innocent and to protect the innocence in behind the boss. what do you know about the current state of your husband? how's you doing? you know, she's physical state, of course not there would because he is in jail for more than one year already. but his moral state is good. he knows that she didn't do anything against lo and she understand that he's charged for nothing and he's brave. he is strong and to protect himself. this trial, what outcome do you expect here?

in all the so called judge can give to my husbands and the other people as many years as they want 1527. it doesn't matter. what matters is to how release all political prisoners and not let them you know, see it as much as they could see. just how to really look well the european union and post wide ranging economic sanctions on the better was today. do you think this will help your husband or other imprisoned opposition? figures like romano protests which you know, all their responsibility to fall for. changes in bill rose lights on bills themselves. but in such a situation, when in such level repressions and builders, we have very small window of opportunity inside donors. but people use every inch

of this to fight on the grounds about the fightin and the european union. be really grateful to your opinion and you say in other democrats conscious that they are protecting, let's say i was try for build a new democratic builders. and in the since august we tried to many of the ways how to deploy medical appeal to the regime by but we went and factions is maybe the most powerful leverage to put pressure on their resume to make them understand that democratic countries are with us. and they will fight to alongside with the sense for rule flow against violence. and the sanction of course, can have impact on the decisions that made in the regime. and we want dial up to one think should be the regime about future elections. but before these

old school prisoners have to be released, and i think sanctions can help you said that the, that this is a case for the vision for civil society and bella rues to sort this out. do you think the opposition is strong enough? so as a position is the majority builder. since now, the aster on the millions of people who want changes we have and again, we have very huge level of repressions and violence inside bearers. but people are not given up. people are united as never before. and people are continued to fight people in unite in the truck to write themselves in striking committee it's we have very good sportsmen, movement, medical movement. so people understand what they are fighting for and the democratically just send them a critic activities united around one

a new elections salon. susan oscar, thank you very much. thank you. europe in union, leaders are coming together in brussels for a summit. tension slab over hungarian law that several you countries say targets members of the l g b t q. community 16, p and leaders have signed a joint letter condemning the law which benz content them to promote homosexuality or transsexuality to children. you has announced legal action against hungry calling the law, a violation of fundamental rights. and other contentious item on the agenda is proposed by germany and france to hold a summit with russian president vladimir put it in a bid to improve the blocks relations with moscow. while hunger is prime minister victoria has been facing mounting preston to repeal the controversial law seem to be targeting the l g

t q community. despite this taken questions from reporters ahead of the summit, he started defended it. i'm a freedom fighter in the community supreme homosexuality was punished and i fought for their freedom in the rights. so i am defending the rights of the whole sexual guide. but the slope is not about that. it's about the right of the kids and the parents to accept yourself being a most my most difficult thing myself, how to say to my parents and to hear now that it is because maybe i watched something on tv when i was younger, is unacceptable. and to mix pedophilia pornography homosexuality is, is unacceptable. so we will have to discuss and to, to say, not again, we have to discuss in future. we have to discuss now. and to, to say that it's unacceptable. it's, it's, it's even so step that we have to, to say that we are going to court. it's about co values of european union to be able to be difference in union while the w,

brussels beer chief of known as covering this use summit. for us. i sent the us threatening to take legal action against hungry. now will this overshadow the summit? while that could happen, definitely we just saw how emotional this matter is being discussed and which is so big to or bond hunger and prime minister making clear that he is not thinking about backing down. he said that the law has been published. it's done deal. so to speak, but there are also 16, at least 16 you leaders from lots to island to from spain, to italy who are very upset. who are very angry saying that this legislation is against the core values of the european union. the bulging prime minister, the cross sets that you is not a supermarket when you go and pick whatever you would like the you. he said is a club with rules as if you are not playing by the rules, you should not continue to receive you fun. so this is the issue,

the leaders are going to discuss over dinner and all journalists here, which of course, love to be a fly on the wall to, to see how this, this discussion is, will be discussed at the dinner. also on the agenda, germany and france, i proposing to use summit with vladimir putin this morning and got back with final speech the parliament. she emphasized the need to resume talks with the russian president. let's have a listen to the, the events of the last few months. and not only in germany has clearly shown that it's not enough for us to react to russia. numerous provocations in an uncoordinated way and said, we must create mechanism to be in a box or publications together and in a unified way. only then will we learn to cancel rushes highway to pass with you. so when you and in my view we, the european union must seek direct contact with russia and the russian president, ulta, no, it's not enough for us president joe biden to speak with the russian president.

lucy, i welcome that. but the european union must also create formats for dialogue, otherwise conflicts will never be resolved. i'm going to speaking there's germany and france and direct talks with putin. how is this likely to go down with other member states at this summit? while the leaders seem to be split over this proposal all stress, chancellor quote, for example said you well comes, he welcomes this proposal saying that, you know, the, you can just sit by and just watch the u. s. and the russian, the russians a talking other leaders, however, and in particular, leaders in eastern europe are very skeptical saying that it doesn't make any sense to have some, it's, it's not new, put in as long as russia doesn't change its behavior. and let's have a look, have a listen to watch these tony and prime minister told us about this proposal. it's not supposed to just surprise because to some it's, we have had

a very kind of discussion about russia and, and the papers also reflects that. so what has changed really and what is the purpose of this? but i'm really kids to listen. what they will say about this and how, why it is fun that they go now. so let me see, can you call us? it's at least saying that she eats ready to listen. there are leaders of the presidents of police and love here for example, who are saying this proposal is a non starter. they don't want to have somebody would loving the portal as long as there are no concessions from the kremlin. this is also uncle michael's last year's summit. as chancellor. how is she going to bid farewell? while you know that she is famous for her pragmatism for her no nonsense attitude, and i think we can expect her to want to keep it low key in brussels. she did of

doing her last 7 summit. we covered the summit and we tried to ask her to address the issue, but she played it down. she just made me. she rather would like to talk about the pressing issues on the agenda. so that is something i think we can also expect for the youth in russell's alex, on the for now that he w, brussels barrett, she's thank you example let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. at least 10 kenyon soldiers have been killed in a helicopter crash on the outskirts of the capitol, nairobi. several others were injured. they were on their way to a training exercise. when the shop went down, police officials said a total of $23.00 soldiers were on board. hundreds of unmarked graves have been found in the canadian town of maria, val says capital and a former catholic boarding school is the latest in a string of shocking discoveries. it does use school for indigenous children across

the country. they have revived calls on the catholic church to apologize for the history of abuse of 1st nations children in canada. and his one person is reported dead and several more injured after part of a 12 story apartment building collapsed in the middle of the night near miami. in the us state of florida rescue teams fear more people may be trapped under the rubble. it's not clear what caused the number of people using drugs globally has increased by 20 percent in the past decade. according to new report from united nations. the trend is expected to continue, especially in africa. the number of people taking drugs there is projected to rise by 40 percent in the next 10 years. the growth of ours pandemic has led to more drug use around the world, locked down since travel restrictions have full steelers to find new ways to sell and deliver their drugs candidates. so marianna remains the most widely used drug,

and it's stronger than ever before. the when says more and more young people are unaware of the potential health risks and told me more about this report. i am now joined by angela me, chief of research at the united nations office on drugs and crime which has just released this un drug report. the number of drug use is right, rising around the world with africa particularly effected what needs to be done to reverse this trend. well, 1st of all, we need a massive investment on has africa as already lacking, or they needed treatment for drug use disorders. and so in that you can, as i has, we've an increase even 40 percent of the number of drug users requires investing on treatment and prevention prevention through families who was neighbors.

and also to establish new partnerships within africa with african sucks in investing more on their hands. and also to establish real time monitoring system to make sure that we understand that we are able to monitor real time that the development of drug markets in your report has also found that candidates products are getting stronger and younger people underestimating the hum. indeed, clear in the last, almost 25 years kind of usa as drupal is potency in the united states. and that has almost doubled in europe. and so clearly kind of the seas more fulton, and we did percentage of increasing that's become more harmful because that is clear research that link the percentage of t c with mental health disorders, which site causes, particularly among young people in the amount of irregular users. but what we

haven't seen is that the young people actually are perceiving even less competent as a kind of the central mismatch between the reality and the information can be quite venture to support the public health and particularly for young people. what impact has the pen demik had on drug use when the condemn mika has increase across the wall down? they use economy, and the know maybe can use the all the time for mr to come. so why has crease the use of those dr. typically consuming the social effecting. so impact is like a x z or some stimulant like cocaine in some parts of the world as decrease. and the more more countries legalizing the recreational use of marianna is that the way forward when i said earlier,

it's clear that the no medical use them all the kind of this is harmful to that has really all the young people in the lisa establish medical conditions which many countries have now allowing them the use for medical, for medical reasons, but any other medicines they are helpful and they're good for how to use the medical prescriptions when that we've all medical prescription and for non medical recreational use, dental to the house and let me see if of research at the united nations office on drugs and crime, thank you very much for your time. thank you. now one country that has been badly affected by illicit drugs is have gone astonished, the global trading hob for heroine and for the down and out in come in the capital cobbled drugs seem like an easy escape from the difficult lives in our next report
