5:07 am
waves of outrage throughout the united states. now the depth of feeling over michael brown's killing is being felt both on the streets and online let's just take a look how it is trending this map shows how the hashtag ferguson case spread across twitter we didn't long for the subject to engulf the united states before spreading across the atlantic over to europe political columnist ted rall believes that until the police stop acting as an occupying force people's anger won't subside. 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 or iraq so that there is no connection whatsoever but just hostility between the
5:08 am
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. coming up for you pulling the plug on investigative journalism we report from the u.s. government's posting to the new york times journalists to given name his whistle blowing source and testify against him. and an extreme broad hey how a group of nazi supporters in germany is striving to improve that public image. audio and reality mediation is still there and he skilling our children dying also hard conditions asked most leukemia feel floridians are still hiding the truth from

now in the last few weeks you may have seen some pretty pessimistic headlines in western media for example russian sanctions could take an economic toll on europe euro zone recovery halt some aid russian sanctions and sanctions against russia will hurt european economies there just some of them all referring to the economic hit the e.u. faces caused by political bickering with russia where some nations are more cane on keeping the business wheels turning though finland's president will move out of here putin later in southern russia to talk ongoing cooperation in trade as well as the situation in ukraine is going on as more. this is the first time that president putin is meeting with any of the european union leaders since the e.u. introduced a lot of set of sanctions targeting the whole 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
5:11 am
officials have been saying that they're not ready to take part in any further 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 a 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 is expected to lose up to two billion dollars a little when you're around one point two billion paul 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
5:12 am
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. since leaving. this it is so difficult because production is a major loss we can make up for it and we won't receive compensation from the bulgarian government or from the european union. but it is the ban on imports to russia for sure we have to stop our production its revenues will not be enough to cover the costs of things like logistics but there has been a danish report published on the six you saying that the effects from moscow's restrictions on the e.u. is so strong that european officials may actually cancel the n.t. 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. reporting. shrines in the u.s. constitution although it seems is not enough to shield new york times journalist

disclosing secrets to the reporter is an appeal to the u.s. supreme court earlier this year to get the justice department to revoke its request for him to testify but to no avail i want to give 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. this continued. recording in america that's the central issue. 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 long . it's persecution. we think people like james rising of the new york times should
5:15 am
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 journey james writes in to testify against these alleged sorts it could be a major blow to investigative journalism and to the west in washington i'm going to check on our tea. party that used to be on the fringe of british politics is hitting me donations john the deeply euro skeptic u.k. independence party has managed to raise more money than the junior government group the liberal democrats dot com has got more on that story. and we've got used to exploring cities through google street view but how about heading underwater online

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 mysterious if people want to call is 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 these mentions seed when you see a person like that what do you think even if he's 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 t. shirt is that we sell the shows the one hundred thirty million plus victims murdered by communists over the years because 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. 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 quite quite a good example a good metaphor of that you have something that it's particularly appealing or might be appealing to a young person you have attractive office to engage. in chic counterculture in youth cultural practices of various sorts which are systematically put in place to attract people and then silently smokefree combined with messages towards violent extremism shrewder insists he is nonviolent but nip still or not and face in t.v. is here to stay with an eighty eight episode set to air at the end of august they
