2:04 am
the russian ukrainian border and we used to cross into ukraine and to go to the guns to cover this situation on the ground has really hard situation from humanitarian point of view as well and of course from a security point of view but recently we cannot do it because it became a very dangerous. now there's still a wall of silence from kiev over the whereabouts of missing russian journalist andre stan and that's despite global calls for his safe release from the un the e.u. and rights groups is a renowned photographer who's been covering conflicts all over the world the hash tag for yonder has since been trending on social networks he's been missing for ten days and so far there have only been mixed signals about where he may be at first denied detaining him but then admitted he's been arrested by security forces accused of assisting terrorists.

2:06 am
to have changed even though it's extremely loud and people still continue to come out on the streets and intend to keep doing so the violence seems to have died down for now now importantly in that in other cities throughout the united states such as new york philadelphia boston los angeles people have also been coming out onto the streets this thursday to us supports the cause of demanding answers and justice when it comes to the death of this on armed teenager that has really sparked waves of outrage throughout the united states political columnist ted roll believes that until the police stop acting as an occupying force people's ongo will not subsiding . it's not the first time this has happened you know this is a situation that repeats itself in all sorts of african-american communities across the united states that are policed as though they were occupied territory by highly militarized i would say u.s. troops but local police who are equipped as though they were occupying afghanistan
2:07 am
or iraq so that there is no connection whatsoever but just hostility between the communities that are being policed and the police that are supposed to be serving them that's the big issue that's the big problem and i don't see how the president in his investigation over this one incident would be able to make much headway there. ahead for you pulling the plug on investigative journalism a report on the u.s. government's pursuit of a new york times journalist to given a name his whistle blowing source and testify against him. and an extreme ray brod hey how a group of nazi supporters in germany striving to improve their public image. how do you have any reality mediation is still there by any scaling our children

more interested in keeping the business wheels turning finland's president is expected to meet let me putin later today in southern russia as well as ongoing cooperation in trade the situation in ukraine is likely to come up. reports this is the first time that president putin is meeting with any of the european union leaders since the e.u. introduced a lead of set of sanctions targeting all sectors of the russian economy and since moscow introduced food import restrictions which affect a lot of european foods and we know that finland was hit pretty hard finnish officials have been saying that they're not ready to take part in any further anti russian sanctions but the european union was hit by moscow's restrictions pretty hard in general take a look at the graphic that we've prepared for you because of the restrictions introduced by president putin on all countries which have been taking part in the russian sanctions the european union alone is expected to lose up to seven billion dollars but more specifically the worst member states hit or the netherlands which
2:12 am
is expected to lose up to two billion dollars a little when you're around one point two billion poor and around one billion and germany around seven hundred ninety five million and many european farmers are now calling on european union officials for compensation but the thing is the use specially designated fun for that is only around four hundred million euros which is obviously not enough. so i don't know what we're going to do this continues the crops in the region are a threat i have people who work for me on monday morning i told them to stay home i don't know what i'm going to do but since leaving. this situation is so difficult because production is a major loss we can't make up for it and lou. receive compensation from the bulgarian government or from the european union. is the paramount importance to russia will mean accounts for sure we have to stop our production its revenues will
2:13 am
not be enough to cover the costs of things like logistics is that there has been a damage report published on the saying that the effects from moscow's restrictions on the e.u. is so strong that european officials may actually cancel the russian sanctions in the next two to three months so to wrap it up there are definitely things for the two leaders to talk about here in russia now press freedom is in trying to the u.s. constitution although it seems it's not enough to shield new york times journalist james rise and his exclusive skloot of revealing how the cia tried to undermine iran's nuclear program and seen him broiled with the government and the courts he may now face jail for not revealing his whistleblowing source but he's not going into battle alone. explains. this is a petition with one hundred thousand signatures on it demanding that the u.s. government stop its to see that new york times journalist james writes that the u.s. justice department wants him to give up the name of sorts which changes lives and
2:14 am
as we see time and time again now the justice department considers forcing. him to change pricing continues to refuse he may go to jail the source has provided wising with information about a bungled cia operation in iran which the journalist used in his two thousand and six book war games where it was first subpoenaed in two thousand and eight to testify against james there a link the former cia employee who was later charged under the espionage act for allegedly disclosing secrets to the reporter was an appeal to the u.s. supreme court earlier this year to get the justice department to revoke its word quest for him to testify but to no avail only given any details about the case but i can just say that. you know i think this is really all about. the issue of press freedom in america and whether or not we're going to have. to continue you know the rest of investigative reporting in america that's the central issue.
2:15 am
rising if the two time pulitzer prize winner one of his pulitzer was for his reporting on the warrantless wiretapping program under george w. bush and another for reporting in the aftermath of the nine eleven attacks numerous press freedom groups and prominent journalists are now backing him by shedding light on his persecution. we think people like james risin of the new york times should be put on a pedestal. and the people in this department of justice building think he should be put in prison we can't get the story unless people who know the story. can talk to us without fear of. retaliation the obama administration has already prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous administrations combined and the view that many people share here is that if the government is indeed successful in forcing the journalese. to testify against his alleged sorts it could be

a major blow to investigative journalism and to the west in washington i'm going to check on our team. in other news a party that used to be on the fringe of british politics is hitting the donations of. the deeply euro skeptic u.k. independence party has managed to raise more money than the junior government group the liberal democrat. has got that story. used to exploring cities through google street view how about. online learn how we could see school. on the twentieth century left an indelible image in our minds of nazi supporters of radical ruthless skinheads violence but there's a group of far right germans who want an image make all of our reports. the modern face of the far right in germany fs in t.v. is an online show that preaches that it's ok to hold these political beliefs in
2:17 am
a country with a dark history of dealing with fascism the star of the show is thirty one year old patrick schroeder he told me that it's time to change the image of the right wing. and if we want to rebrand our image to show we aren't crazies we want to show their ideas aren't dramatic in the media were called nazis fascists all that the also washer broadcast understand there we are and radical with strong views on immigration on t l g b t rights and a firm belief that multiculturalism is wrong schroeder along with his anonymous co-host vendetta have been labeled as part of a new wave of neo nazi hipster in germany called by some we don't refer to ourselves as ministers if people want to cause that then they can go ahead we're willing to use any possibilities to present ourselves as well as the show should also give seminars to educate followers how to present themselves to the public even mention feed when you see
2:18 am
a person like that what do you think even if yes right i'm not voting for him clothes and music are a big part of the movement targeting under thirty who aren't happy with the current government and what they see as the glorification of the extreme left here we have one of our teachers that we sell this shows the one hundred thirty million plus victims murdered by communists over the years the former skinhead speaks like a p.r. manager a consummate showman schroeder is articulate funny and gregarious our meeting left me wondering about the message he selling. after spending some time with patrick it's hard not to be intimate by him but i wanted to speak to somebody to find out if there's any potential risks of packaging ideas this way. the danger is that you don't see. that behind the curtain the cigarette is actually a quite quite a good example a good metaphor of that you have something that is particularly appealing or might

a fresh reports on the impacts of drilling for shale gas but only after having edited or completely blacked out over sixty elements of its bully boy who has more on what suspected of being hidden whatever that topic papers published by the government don't tend to rival agatha christie in the relative harmony but this draft report put out by staff for the department for environment food in rural affairs has an air of mystery around it that's because and major chunk of this study relating to the controversial issue of the right thing and the fact that running on my money then said the word redacted appears sixty three times in this report so it's not so much of a whodunit because we know it was a white hole but it is a wide on it the draft report was released not long after westminster offered up two thirds of england to any energy companies that want to bid for shale gas

drilling licenses to people desperate to find out what the cent said parts are hiding a roland and the retailer they've been trying to sell their home in rasika in lancashire last year they found by isn't agreed a price but the sale fell through when plans to frack in the area emerged they've even put the price of the house down by twenty five thousand pounds but still no one wants that are good. all of them but. the moment we were a lot some m.p.'s have been calling for the government to offer financial compensation to homeowners like roland and marie who could lose money because of neighbor i drilling but westminster has so far refused to offer payouts saying that fracking will herald a new era of cheap energy and boost the economy we asked defra why they had sent

a curfew on youths well yes if we think about it people under eighteen can't sign contracts join the army smoke cigarettes or vote because they're legally not responsible for their own actions so yeah that whole freedom of association guaranteed by the constitution really only applies once you're an adult who can in theory be responsible for associating with certain people on a street corner at midnight although legally this is ok ideologically there's something wrong with the idea i remember hearing in school all the talk about living in the greatest country on earth and how many freedoms we have in america but the problem is that it is hard for teenagers to believe all these nice slogans . when they have to dodge police just for walking down the street in their own home town getting a two hundred fifty dollar fine for leaving your house doesn't make you feel like you're living in the greatest country on earth i mean it sure didn't when they put up a curfew in my neighborhood in the ninety's but that's just my opinion. sweden
