has been detained in russia as an alleged spy. since the cold war, washington is advising us citizens to leave gods at a moscow court, bundled even gush coverage out of the building. following his brief appearance, the 31 year old pleaded not guilty to spying charges, but exactly what he's alleged to have done remains unclear. his lawyer says he wasn't even allowed in the courtroom. remodeled for the wrong. i can't say anything because i haven't seen the charges filed against them. the old i'm convinced that my client could only of actor, legal, and only due to gush coverage was arrested hundreds of kilometers away from moscow . in the city of your catherine burg, he's believe to have been working on a story about local attitudes to the war in ukraine. but russian authorities claim gosh, given, was acting on behalf of the us to access state secrets. but he greets him malesky

under the guise of journalistic activities, a journalistic visa and accreditation of judging by the investigative measures taken against him, he was engaged in completely different activities saucer. ah said of sheila in lloyd's eagerness to gush coverage, has been working in russia as a journalist since 2017. he's been with the wall street journal for just over a year, and the paper has been quick to condemn his wrist. in a statement they demanded his immediate release. other journalists also expressing the grave concerns. it has a chilling effect on frying journalist, especially western journalist. we try to inform international community international public opinion about the war and about what's going on in

russia. cash give, which is the highest profile american arrested in russia since basketball had brittany greiner, he spent 10 months in jail on drugs charges for now, he will spend the next 2 months here in a pre trial detention center. his silence. i fear the blow to dwindling media freedoms and russia. every girls give it, she used to work with theater. here's moscow bureau chief, yuri rochester, who told me more about the case. oh, phil, even gush coverage was in your katherine work in the rush us euro mountains on our research trip. apparently his subject was of the private army wagner group fighting in ukraine. even the garbage gasket, which is said to have been arrested by the russian secret service f as be after visiting arrest the wrong in the evening. i'd like to stress that the he worked completely legally as an importer in russia. he had an official breast accreditation, but he knew supposedly that the secret service f as

b was obviously monitoring him, especially in the last few days indicative ringenberg. that's what he told to the his friends and colleagues and remarkable in this context is scrambling reaction. ladamme is put in spokesperson dmitri per scave command, and surprisingly clearly on the incidence saying that gash coverage was caught red handed according to the motto he deserved it. it should be noted that the kremlin, using the rags very differently, mostly says nothing at all, but the fact that bisk off commanded so categorical, it could means that the president put impersonal, gave his a cave for the rest of gal, evan gash coverage, that's at least the, the, the suggestion. right, so what's likely to happen to them? well, jessica, which is now in custody moscow until the end of may, she could face up to 20 years in prison for so called the spanish. but many guessed that what's really at stake is a potential exchange of the yes,

it isn't gash coverage with one or more russians behind. bars, in the best among them could be the russian classical for example, who is in prison in germany for the so called t gotten murder or some other russians, including suspect, the trash legends in slovenia, for example. right? for i, for presumably this is going to have quite an effect on other journalists working inside russia. while this case cost, of course, outrage among all of the foreign journalists in moscow. and can be clearly understood as a warning as a signal to all critical reporting. journalists and russia, the previous similar case you mentioned, it was in the former soviet union almost 40 years ago. back then the u. s. reporter was also accused of us not today many western journalists already left russia since the war began. and w was also banned in russia. our moscow bureau had to close a month before the war. and then however, we have been reporting a lot about this country from abroad, including from our new studio here in latin,

in the latin capital rica. thank you for that mosque purity for you reverse. yes, britain. prince charles has highlighted the ties between his country and germany and become the 1st reigning monarch to address the german parliament. a busy day for the king also included visits to a military unit, and i've got a dairy farmer cheese maker ah, standing ovations for the king alternating between german and english britons charles the 3rd praised the british german friendship in a historic speech that frequently drew laughter from lawmakers witnessed the purely urgent 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 for days. and 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 are rude for most of route. 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 barrios, devel technician to touch the world, has not passively stood by isn't sure, even as we abhor the cooling scenes of destruction. we can take heart from our unity in defense of ukraine, of peace and freedom. the title don't craner dis reasons to fright. 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. are providing support side by side. also, militarily, now, was the message of his visit to join 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 britons monarch, as 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 williams zimmerman. as

a member of the bundle, talk for the s p d and chairman of the german british parliamentary group. i asked him about the significance of the military eminence of the king's visit has got a german view on there. so with a young simmer man who is a member of the bundle, talk of the s p d and chairman of the german british parliamentary group. welcome to the w. let's start with an element of the visit. this, the military element. he went to a joint german, british military unit. what do we take from that? i think this is a great sign because military cooperation is probably the starting point of the post bricks it cooperation between the u. k and germany. and during these times i think it's a great sign. and as far as i know, this is the only joint military unit, the u. k. has with a foreign country. so it's great that he made a trip to, to see the troops. and we saw a part of his speech there at the bunder stock. unusually political for

a reigning monarch, talking about ukraine and about germany's contribution. what did you, what did you make of his performance? i agree, i was surprised having such a political king in the book, the stark and i talked to many of my colleagues who said this was an amazing speech . we haven't had one of these in the last 10 years in the been to sack and it was forward looking on the one hand. but he also had our joint history in mind talking about world war 2 and so on. so it was surprising but um i think it was applauded at the book, the stock. okay, so we've had a few years since breaks it was 1st announced and then a completed and a few prime ministers actually are in that time. how do you think the king has, has done in terms of repairing the damage that's been done by that process? i mean, he has the great advantage. he does not need to go and see the electorate again

. so i think i have the impression he has really long lines of history in mind. and that is i think extremely helpful. because rich's so not hasn't been seeing all of shots invalid yet. and all of shots he is in office for one and a half year and had 4 prime ministers. and i think that that was really a problem. so this really can be now a starting point to keep on with good relations between germantown and how bad things get between the 2 countries. you think that the funny thing is germany, parliamentarians, when we go to westminster, we want to talk about the future. and over the last years, and we're always the brits are doing some post brick said therapy there. and, and i think now after the windsor agreement, this is really now to look forward. right?

yes. and you were at the, the banquet yesterday. the big do so that was a hot ticket in town yesterday. was that like? it was amazing and it was very festive, and it was a huge celebration and i had the feeling president shine my. it is a great host and even a king felt a little bit nervous during his 1st grand state visit. but at again frank, by the time it is a great most lay state long, it was a great party. did you meet him? i met him like um, he felt really proud and i mean, he was 75 years training for, for this event for you really could feel that. all right, good. talking to thank you so much for that. yes. zimmerman. s p, the chairman of the german british parliamentary group. thank you. or president of the european commission has said that future relations with the in use biggest trading partner, china will depend on how beijing deals with the war and ukraine should have found.

the line is heading for the chinese capital, where she says the focus will be on frank dialog. the e u commission head is sitting down a marker before her visit to join us are we relations are not black or white. and our response cannot be either and this is why we need to focus on de risk. not the coupled and this is part of the reason why i will soon be visiting busy together with president my home. so early march chinese president, teaching ping began his term in office. fonda line is critical of the extend to she's power and of his goals father. and his communist parties. clear goal is if his stomach change of the international order with china

at its center. we have seen it with china positions in multilateral bodies which show its determination to promote an alternative vision of the world. all the forging of closer ties between russia and china is part of building this new world order. cheese recent 3 day visit in moscow is evidence that this beijing hasn't condemned russia's war on ukraine, even seeing itself as a mediator. this is on the lines analysis is clear from this visit that china seas putting the weakness as a way to increase as leverage, show barbershop. i did just clear that the power balance and that relationship which for most of the last century favorites russia has no reverse. the china is also the eas,

most important trading partner as funder line also mentioned. those ties come with their own dangers. for example, exported goods could also be used for military purposes ahead of her visit the commission president stress that the you is very skeptical about chinese growing a talk, receipt and influence blah correspondent jack perez in brussels, outlined some of ursula font the lines of main points was really interesting that point she made that for the european union, china's position on the war and ukraine is fundamental to the relationship is really significant. she spoke a lot during this 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 it 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 some him 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 as jam perch in brussels is a look at some of the store is making in the headlines around the world. at least 31 people have been killed in a fairy accident in the philippines. officials say the boat caught fire off the southern island of bassi land. some passengers drowned after jumping overboard

brazil where the former president, jaya balsa morrow has returned home after 3 months in florida in the us. he's planning to leave the opposition to the government of his left. a success increase in mass yoletta silver. right when a ball saddam is under investigation over the storming of brazil's congress in january, after he lost the election, he could face a jail and be made ineligible to run for office. i spoke with journalist sam, me a sammy county who is following the story in south paolo, i asked him how both scenarios return is likely to impact or politics that that's a really interesting question. why? because, you know, last election was very hard for us. it was, you know, the highest election in decades lula, one by you know, a very small percentage point margin. and so brazil, in baltimore, in brazil, he remains extremely popular character, however,

is really unlikely in the short term lease that he's going to have a huge impact when he's written. he's gonna have a huge impact that probably because we see the government still quite strong at the moment. it's taking a few blows in recent weeks. but there's a lot of analysts to pointed out, you know, it's to enjoy more than 50 percent approval raising, which in the grand scheme of things in the world today is a pretty strong approval rates in, in the medium to long term. however many and is pointed out in economy as they say things we get more difficult for lulu because quite frankly, it's all about the economy, the economy, you know, grow sluggishly or tanks then you know, people in brazil as they always do, they going to blame the president, in this case law, and this would be, you know, your paternity folks and all roads you know, say, no one is popular slogans of his or, you know, brazil was going down the path because of socialism. look what lose doing. you know, this will be the opportunity for him and he's part of pounds. so, you know,

i would say it's more of a medium to long term game. they play, i not the municipal elections in 2024. then the next lecture in 2026. ok. so what's in the form of president's immediate future? the immediate future will be tackling these investigations. he's been summoned. we found out yesterday we'll be summoned over the jewels case and where he received a present from saudi arabia. he said it was a friendly gesture that he's going to be someone to give testimony about that, you know, the floor potentially criminal cases. what he's involved in the reality is the investigations, especially about powerful figures in brazil tend to move slowly and the, you know, there's 2 options that the opposition, sorry, the actual, the current, the current government support for the cooling for which would be for him to be you know, strict to the political rights and, you know, possibly even

a jail sentence i had before is definitely much more likely than the 2nd one. as i say, investigation over pounds. because in brazil, you know, to become dragged out media, lose the interest people lose interest in they often don't amount to nothing. but i would say possibly out of the possibility of those 2 possibilities. being stripped of its political rights would be much more like any kind of joe. thanks for that, sam. cower in south power. thank he is look at the most doors making headlines around the world. france will have to cut its water consumption by 10 percent over the next 7 years to reach a new target announced by president macro. he says that climate change mean to 40 percent less water will be available by 2050 australia parliament has passed legislation requiring the biggest polluters to cut emissions or pay for carbon credits. previous attempts to make polluters pay was repealed. the government says

the new measures are essential to make climate goals. vatican says pope francis is improving, being taken to hospital with breathing difficulties. said to be suffering from bronchitis, medical fafsa, you could leave hospital in the next few days. so in russia, of the criticism of the war and ukraine can lead to harsh legal consequences, many people voice that discontent only in private, but now one critical and supposedly confidential conversation between 2 prominent russians. a surfaced online it's a phone call that's got every one talking. the 30 minute conversation allegedly took place between a very prominent russian music producer and one of his friends. and it was later leaked hitting the headlines. but what i did, everything's a mess, and he says it's not a big deal. army is the most important thing,

but we can't rely on it. can you do it now? should he bet that he is russian president vladimir putin bleacher. his critics, the 2 men conducting the comb, or allegedly music producer use of pre gulshan and billionaire for cut acne above. and they don't pull their punches when it comes to putin's war against ukraine. and russia's top military leaders didn't for my tutoring yet. you know, the can i hold on to power? no idea of the entire situation as a mess. the country is a mess. everything is a mess other now what are we still waiting for? lera larry is presumably a reference to pre gordon's wife aleria. one of russia's best known pop singers in her instagram account, she praises her family vacation in dubai. that countries also mentioned in the controversial telephone call as, as awkward of yet because of such details, many people in russia believed that the recording is genuine.

the list, i know it's difficult to fight such a long conversation. a fight compensation would be significantly shorter and they would have chosen more prominent figures, a minister or someone like that. a going with me is that that ability the country is all a chatter with the news. neither big ocean nor his oligarch friend has spoken up against the kremlin in the past. after the recording was released, the music producer said that the conversation had been created using artificial intelligence. well, actually i'll do that, even though he conceited that some of the sentences were genuine skilled. hm said leanne and she'll, observers aren't convinced because i thought she would, they're wondering just how strong support for president putin among the russian elite really is we be seattle of sat. i see the russian leads have lost an awful lot as a result of this war. they are uphold by what's going on at the moment, but they're remaining tight lipped and saying nothing the money in your mouth chat

. so since you, when you get it all they say they support pohden, but he goes on like yours, if precaution, gardner, and his public appearances in front of the camera, most of them, but as soon as they're together in private, unnoticed by the public company. i of course say the whole thing is a disaster, that is that's the roku. yet this, this satisfaction is not dividing the elite opposition politician dmitri good cove is convinced, let alone making them prepared to take a stand. fear is too deep seated, particularly when such calls are leaked by the movement, blessing, who telephone coal is enough for a sort of public execution. that the others had been too frightened to even talk about it in their own kitchen. as well as trying to intimidate critics, the kremlin also tries to praise those people who back that when the jeeps, if they are trying to control the moodle, the country with carrot and stick tactics. and you ski a presidential is,

are coming up next year. who knows whether the war will be over by then, or not. just time to remind you of our top stories based on the wife houses condemned the arrest of an american journalist in russia on spying charges, the f s. b security agency, a q is, is the wall street journal's f and gus give it a try to obtain classified information on britons, king charles as address german lawmakers in the book, the stock alternating between english and german. the kent gave a sometimes humorous speech distressing ties between the 2 countries. it's hopes, his visits will revive post breakfast relations full. well, there's some talk. i'll be out in just a moment. i'll be back with the day. thank you. taking a closer look at to us of a fun, the lions up wanting to china. and when the china cares once you say stuff in just a minute. ah,
