who's the head of the kir bureau of the re in obviously a news agency was arrested tuesday for alleged treason he was arrested in care then transported to has in a city in southern ukraine more than five hundred kilometers from the capital his relatives have heard nothing since his arrest the wife rina says that the journalist has a medical condition and that he needs medication this is a new malls a yard i learned about his arrest from the internet i then contacted his driver and he told me that it happened in the car park five people in civilian clothes came up to him grabbed him and bundled him into a car and left no one contacted me no one from the ukrainian services have official informed me about their arrest more than that i haven't heard from my husband since monday i can't get my head around this i don't understand why this treason charges and what journalism has to do with treason. after vicious he was arrested ukrainian security services also broke into the offices of ria novosti ukraine the searches

last more than eight hours and the houses of journalists working for the also searched already been high level condemnation against kira's actions many organizations are accusing the ukrainian government of an attack on media freedom they demanded which is release human rights watch also called on ukrainian authorities to provide evidence to back up its charges against a journalist we discuss the case with the organizations deputy director for europe and central asia that's rachel denver. under no circumstances should the government be criminalizing speech and media activities that groundlessly and ukraine i think this is out of line with ukraine's these raids and the detentions are out of line with ukraine's obligations to protect media freedoms there's an obligation to provide some kind of transparency about what exactly is grounding treason charges that are extremely serious serious charge that carries a hefty prison sentence so they better continue to come forward with what it is

that causing the grounds for this charge because working for ria novosti or having a russian passport are not grounds for treason charge we and other organizations have been expressing i think more frequently concerned about media freedoms in ukraine and judge him based on the fact that their world view the website down of last year and journalists who were either banned or were expelled because of the views that they project a couple criminal cases that are ongoing on you for example against what i did and others based on things that people have said or written so i end up there you know cases of killings of journalists that have that remain unresolved and far so i think we're probably quite well what concerned we were saying last year. the united states national security advisor john bolton has said that the summit between north korea's kim jong un and president trump will go ahead to supplant despite pyongyang having threatened to cancel the meeting if washington pushes for

the denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula without offering anything in return artist on a court has been taking a look at the issue. as washington pats itself on the back for pushing north korea to hit the brakes on its nuclear program america itself is going in the opposite direction in fact on the very same day that donald trump proudly announced he plans to meet kim jong un in june his officials at the pentagon rolled out their nuclear expansion plan. an evolving and uncertain job political landscape calls for the united states to recapitalize is to fast plutonium capabilities this is the savannah river site in south carolina a nuclear refinery built at the start of the cold war which the pentagon now wants to bring back from the dead it was intended to produce materials for nuclear weapons but was left half built and riddled with structural problems after the cold war though the plan was to flip it from being a bomb resource center to a peaceful energy producer. the savannah river easy

a key department of energy industrial complex responsible for disposition of nuclear materials we still management environmental cleanup and environmental stewardship so the pentagon wants to weaponize a facility which was intended to be a nuclear arms burial ground but what exactly do they plan to produce pates bombs that when armed with nuclear warheads can create a blast to one thousand times stronger than that of hiroshima it's expected to produce fifty each year and the u.s. has been crystal clear as to why they need to pay it so badly back in two thousand and ten the obama administration's. with misplaced hope that quote russia is not an enemy it is increasingly a partner close quote anyone who watches the news today knows that this is not the case if it ever was president putin announced that russia is developing and building for new and horrific nuclear weapons nuclear deterrence is our number one priority defense mission forces or here it's

a three people and infrastructure it's all part of the deter it is time to buckle down and get after all of it nuclear weapon. are popping up on both sides of the fence the u.s. and russia both saying they're responding to threats from each other although trump got in their first months before putin unveiled russia's new weapons we must modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal hopefully never having to use it but making it so strong and so powerful that it will be pure any acts of aggression by any other nation or anyone else the whole world has just signed a treaty to ban nuclear weapons they were one hundred twenty two countries except that the nuclear powers and that's where we are and russia actually ratified the comprehensive test ban treaty we never did. congress never voted for who made his nuclear power listen speech in march he talked about the intent ballistic

missile treaty that back into. russia it was categorically against our withdrawing from me what it is that cornerstone of the national security system and so here we are. that was in two thousand and now that race is on so we know get along then certainly the other countries are and. we got a sceptic there so even though the u.s. has been pushing hard for iran and north korea to ditch their nukes it's hard to imagine who's going to a bay if the u.s. can't lead by example donald corder r.t. . now africa has long promoted itself as being a safari holiday destination catering not least to well off travel is through the distance such as this.

but appears that the reality on the ground is sometimes less rosy safari parks have been looking to expand their territory and that's according to a new study says that the government of the east african state of tanzania two massive extends of indigenous communities fictions began years ago but tensions rose after some twenty thousand people were allegedly left homeless last august and september alone with nearly six thousand homes deliberately damaged some of those affected of told their stories. we got to come out of the fight. we got that much. across that because i want to get that. money. but i've got why you. wanted to be go. on

use their ancestral lands we also find them in violent indiction and these are all been carried out in the name of the already tourism arsenal dinars and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managership and disease the kind of disposition that the report predicts to shills are going to get not just be forced out of their homes and lands but their messiah i mean for starters the existence of the head of one company probed thompson safaris strongly denies being involved in the evictions is direct to rick thompson that they also work with local communities and the government to improve access to water that to us on the ground tell a different story i have to look at that government reading your twenty percent of the me the tourism and of all the borderline are all this is because they're you know they're probably actually know the social economy. income so if the last or
