t a got murder. but also, if you suspect that russian agents in europe behind boss. now what does that mean for foreign journalists operating in russia? at the moment? you can imagine that the rest of the american reporter has on the one hand coast outrage among all foreign journalists in moscow. and on the other hand, concerns about the possible further arrest. and the last similar case, you said it was a 37 years ago at their time as it journalist was also accused of a spanish. so it's a clear signal to all both flooring and critical russian dollar lists who are mainly in russia itself. be careful, what do you do? what do you do? and many western reporters have already left russia since february last year. d. w was also banned in russia. our moscow bureau had had to close after 20 years of journalistic work in russia just a month before the war. since then, however,

we have continued to report a lot about russia from the latin capital riga, where i am right now and also from other places, including germany, w. moscow bureau chief, uri rush it over there. thank you very much. you're britons, king charles, has emphasized the solid ties between the u. k and germany is become the 1st reigning monarch to address the german parliament. looking also visited a military unit and an organic trees far standing ovations for the king alternating between german and english britons. charles, the 3rd praised the british german friendship and a historic speech that frequently drew laughter from lawmakers. just look julie gift as a re relative of course, there is also rivalry others on. i'm thinking in particular of the encounters between our football teams who spoke

with that in mind. it was very special that the english women's soccer team, the lionesses, became european champions by beating germany items the gig and deutschland, over for most of rude but he also came with a serious political message. speaking of reconciliation and the need to learn from the past with europe, security once again threatened by russia's war of aggression against ukraine is very rude. devel technicians took the world, has not passively stood by isn't sure, even as we abhorred a cooling scenes of destruction. we can take heart from our unity shop in defense of ukraine, of peace and freedom. the title don't craner de sweden's will to

frey haute charles then went on to visit some of the ukrainians who have taken refuge in germany since russia's invasion and highlighted how both germany and the u. k. providing support side by side. also, militarily, that was the message of his visit to a joined german, british military unit outside of berlin. and last but not least at this eco village, charles got his hands down and dirty, helping to make cheese and discuss organic farming. since long before he became britain, sovereign environmental issues have been at the heart of his agenda. his 1st trip abroad as britain's monarch is seen as an effort to reset britain's relations with the european union post breaks it self power through photo ops. so far

it looks like it has been a piece of cake for charles european commission president, also a funder line says the future of relations with china. that's the use. biggest trading partner will depend on how beijing deals with the war and ukraine frontline says that you need to cut its risks when dealing with a china that is becoming more repressive at home and more assertive abroad. the westfield, beijing could supply russia with weapons from the line is preparing for a visit to the chinese capital, where she says the focus will be on frank dialogue. our relationship with china is far too important to be put at risk by failing to clearly set the terms of a healthy engagement. it is clear that our relations have become more distant and more difficult in the last few years.

we have seen a very deliberate hardening of china's overall strategic posture for some time. did the step back in brussels talk to us earlier through some off on the lines main points was really interesting that point she made that for the european union chinese position on the war. and ukraine is fundamental to the relationship is really significant. she spoke a lot, join the speech, she had a lot of points that she made. but the sort of, overarching idea is that europe has to continue with this balancing act where they want to continue to trade with china. but they also want to press china on these issues, for instance, human rights, the geo politics around the ukraine war. and also the shift that she mentioned, what she called is a shift from, from reform and opening to security and control. that's how she called it. and what she said to that effect is that the european union and the partners in the members

of the you should actually look at restricting china's ability to access technology coming out of europe. the could be used for security and for military purposes. for instance, like the ubs observation and, and, and looking at the population of china. so sort of controlling the population that something that he's really concerned about. she made us a lot of sweeping statements in that, in that speech. the question is how hard she'll actually be when she meets chinese officials in beijing coming up check power reporting from brussels. now it's a good time to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. at this age, hinder worshippers have died after a temple floor collapsed in the city of enduring in central india, the victims were plunged into a stairway leading to a well, a dozen people were able to be rescued. the accident happened due of the hindu festival of rum, the balmy. the vatican says pope francis condition is improving after he was taken

to meet him at the airport for members of his basic congress, been posting things on social media. you know, in general, people that like him are pleased that he's back. and in general, people that were posed a presidency and a style of politics are calling for. he's the several times he says that he is criminal cases. that by, you know, he's involved in, i'm not saying here that he's guilty necessarily. but you know, because the investigation they calling for those investigations to be brought forward against the president. now that he's back when i'm soil, so that's kind of gives you an idea of where we stand about now. in brazil, in terms of books are coming back in a blue, the still has a more than 50 percent approval rating for which are a print person. your prime minister in the world right now is pretty good in the

grand scheme of things. but quite frankly, it's more about the medium and long term game here than the short term, even just to write them back. now about the timing, why do you think he's coming back now after spending 3 months in the us? this is a really good question, a is, these are right now, you're originally waiting on a visa, a visa, which is given him a certain amount of time in the country that's run out. so it's really quite hard to say there's no, there's no, no strategic all plan reasoning coming back is the coming back to lead the brazilian right and the, your position. but you know where we're standing at the moment. it's just more like tool than anything else. last, they lose government is still

a more than 50 percent approval rating. a dining congress, perhaps a little bit better than some of the school would be considering how strong both hours party is in congress. so it's really hard to see why he's come back right now beyond, of course, the tools that he's come back to leave your position stop, which is more or then seriousness. however, as i say, you know, this is very much going to be very much about me human long in the short arriving back away from sao paulo, thank you very much. thank you. thank you. you're watching the w news before we go . here's a reminder of our top stories. an american journalist is being held on spying charges in russia. the security agency accuses if on gosh greevich off the wall
