11:06 am
ah, the russian foreign minister circular for off how strongly condemned the killing of doria to gonna seeing that those behind the journalists, murder will be shown no mercy. which says, i believe this is a barbaric crime for which there's no forgiveness. i hope the investigation we completed so and the f. s. b is already established the facts. according to the results, the investigation. there can be no mercy for the organizes. the contract is of the killing and the assassins. hundreds of people attended a memorial service to pay their final respects to doria, to connect it as being posthumously awarded, by loving, refuting with the order of courage, people recalled memories of they slain. journalist was killed in a car bombing, and saturday night. her father, alexander, a philosopher who had been speaking out an event that doria was attending just before her death, remembered her as a beacon, fighting for the truth, ortiz on quarter report. we're here at the funeral of daria do gonna journalist and
11:07 am
political analyst who was tragically killed in a terrorist attack here in moscow, russia, it's been an extremely emotional event with hundreds of people, her friends and family, showing up in tears to pay their respects. we also heard from her father, alexander doogan, who said a few words mainly focusing on her bright character and her deep love for her homeland and based on what we heard from other people who were here dari, his death was a great loss for many others as well, when did you believe she had no fear? no last conversation, she told me that i feel like a hero and a warrior, and i don't want to any other fate. i want to be with my people with my country. i want to be on the side of the light for mother and i advice her to become a philosopher. and she did. she tried to move in that direction. she died for the people, for russia. she lived in the name of victory and died in the name of victory. that's the biggest prize she had to pay,
11:08 am
can only be justified by victory. our victory latimer, potent post humorously bestowed the old russian order of courage upon daria, saying that the terrorist attack that took her life was a cruel and heinous crime. he also said that daria had a true russian ha and was a true patriot. just a day before the funeral rushes security bureau released the conclusions of its investigation, which determined that ukraine security services carried out the attack. we also heard from a representative of one of russia's major political parties who laid the blame on the scorch of fascism federalists. daria full for the future of russia for the future of humanity. she fought against fascism. as our fathers and grandfathers said, the fascist must be destroyed in its lair. the lowest key of in the contract of the killing is located overseas. they will definitely stun before the course of the international tribunal. they will be given illegal. verdicts in the course of history is already being held. one of the most shocking aspects of the f s b's
11:09 am
report was that the suspected assailant apparently used her 12 year old daughter to actually carry out this attack. and according to the ambassador of the daniel people's republic, this would not be the 1st time the key of has used children to carry out criminal acts. watching chelsea bushed, daria visited the dpr very open and even more open this last days. she was among the 1st to be maria pope, in as of south spreading the truth that he so skillfully and persistently hidden that he had didn't spare herself, but realized the heat risk. she was there with us in order to spread the truth around the world. and for this truth that he was killed, the nazi ukrainian origin was unnerved by the fact that daria was there at as of styles williams. and she was a journalist. that was the fact that we have a different opinion to the fact that we are not like the nazi carefree, shameful. the fact that we stand up for people and for a history, it infuriates them. and this is how they express their loss in front of us. as of now, key of has flat out denied any involvement in this terrorist attack saying that it's
11:10 am
security services were not behind it. and so we've also heard from the representative of the secretary general at the united nations calling for an independent investigation to establish the facts surrounding the murder of doria do gonna. so we will have to see if that investigation will go through and what kind of other information can be yielded by it. while a former russian state duma deputy whose no ukrainian citizen claimed key was not involved in dirty as assassination elliana, paula morris insist it was carried out by a group called the national republican army, which he sees as a union of russian liberal forces. now, despite the grip never been heard of before, and i had a clear understanding that people from the so called national republican army with which we've been in touch since april, have long been preparing an operation with a larger scale than they had ever done before. when it happened, they sent photos from the scene of the explosion to confirm that it was them. they
11:11 am
sent a manifesto. natalia volvic had nothing to do with this campaign. when this message appeared, i contacted people from russia with whom we communicate. and they said, no, it wasn't her a british media outlets in particular, how picked up and promoted upon more of the claims by the ledge, liberal forces coming together and fighting against flooding. we're putting, moreover, they have also seemingly tried to humanize the story, emphasizing the russia chief suspect in the killing is the mother of a 12 year old child, geo politics, expert peer manju ultima claims, the focus on division. now apparently, part of military within russia is a usual part of the western give external enemies of russia. try to use this sir. the terrorist attacks to try to demonstrate by reason in telling r o position to read. you mean putting that to rush them is, may be on the verge of it in turn r c, b to wall. it has been, or was the object chief of or the atlantis to west, to try to divide to russia to,
11:12 am
to do regime change in russia. against vladimir putin. so it's not surprising. they even promote this narrative on that narrative is not critical for my my point of view because we never heard of a so rooper who is supposed to be behind it and do what we have seen so far its own, but control required to close to port of a population to be so peroration in ukraine. so i think your vis declaration is not critical for my point of view, but of course it serves virchow propaganda purposes of atlantis. twist. the un secretary general has called for cam. a d escalation of tensions on respect for rule of law in pakistan, that's after terrorism charges were made against former prime minister m run local reporter java runner has the latest of owens for us from the pakistani capital.
11:13 am
right now, i'm in front of a slab on high coat a. here the 3 member of the judges have concluded to issue a short caused notice. to the former, i'm assumed on hum. he has been summoned personally on august 31st. it appears they have decided to proceed of with the legal proceeding argues of homer 5, mr. on contempt of court judges the allegation that he is a form of a mr. non hahn. he's done last week in a public gathering. he taken a judge often logically, should he and he had told him that he would pick a legal action against the judge, offer georgia to shoot because she did not provide legal leave to run off his gloss aid, who has been allegedly postured by police and the secret senses and it appears that the better lines had been drawn between bond full possibility. and he expo prime minister who is appears to be not extremely popular in pakistan. and he
11:14 am
has a lot of confusion that he's off run an independent on policy. no. by this i believe, which is known to be pro u. s. and bach us on has been an ally of the us for last decade, but followed by mr. mon, hon. wants to have an independent foreign policy. and according to the nicholas said, with a 72 percent focus on his consider the use as the enemy in back context and the government null deploy us government, which has been brought in in pot, often moving the former premised government. they are prosecuting for family. um, if i understood on video charges just a few days back a day, that was just a case and you can kiss against him on getting charged as a yesterday he was polite of legal to leave and he followed by mr. has made it public that behind a scene. he's a being specialized that he should go soft on us. if he's, are prosecuted by the star by the high court on content support job just that means
11:15 am
that he can be imprisoned. he can be june 1st 6 months, and also he can be disqualified. he would not be able to contest parliamentary elections for next 5 years, which means he will not be able to become to find mr. that a senior member of him, ron cans p t. i party believes the current government is a freight of the popularity of the country's former leader. first fever on hon was 1st the book for a blessing each art. then now the new noise there is a particularly more to rooted anti. there is some charges against wrong. this is unprecedented in but on han is a law abiding citizen. is one of the area, the quantity of what addition having bugs on is being library to get him on. han is one of the law abiding citizen on both sides about the law and his financial transmitters. everybody's afraid of him are on transport that everybody wants to keep him away from the quadratic. so anything happening around him? be it cases in the election tuition be easy cases in this normal high gord are in
11:16 am
the lord court. there's all the objective is one to keep him around on of it because he's popular and public is behind him. and whenever there is a popular leader, history has been running us that every force would work against them, especially. we have unprecedented and the u. s. sentiment and park your son spoke, paused this redeemed in exercise. so everybody warned them to be away from following. the german chancellor laughed. shoals is on a 3 day visit to canada, were among other issues he seeking a new gas partner wherever the country's prime minister just and trudeau has poured cold water. and those hope, seeing it won't be possible to deliver gas directly from the north american nation to berlin. liquefied natural gas conversion plants are usually placed close to the sources of natural gas. and as we look at the possibility of l n g plants on the east coast able to ship directly to germany, we find ourselves
11:17 am
a long way from the gas fields in western canada. or for more on the visit, let's cross live to our to contribute to rachel mars. and rachel, good to see you today. so yeah. why is germany seeking a canadian partnership for its gas supplies? so german chancellor, earl of schultz went all the way to canada for let's face it a photo op with canadian prime minister justin trudeau to make it look like he's doing something about the energy crisis. that risks taking the german economy and by extension the european union's and schultz came up empty handed today basically said that canada has no interest in building pipeline infrastructure that crosses the entirety of canada from the western oil fields all the way to the east coast. just to provide germany with and e, you with fossil fuels now that ship really is already sailed. the you already blew its chance to get its hands on canadian energy via the keystone excel,
11:18 am
a pipeline that was going to transport canadian oil to u. s. refineries on the gulf of mexico, then ship to the u, but environmental activist pressure, you know, the same kind that germany has allowed to dictate its reliance on renewable energy, ultimately killed off that project. so germany is really just reaping what did as long sown in denouncing fossil fuels and vowing to move away from them. so what is schultz get to bring back in his suitcase from canada, pledges of hydrogen energy development projects with canada, which will take years to get up and running. so schultz is really just fiddling with the green wall paper while the house is burning down. he's also banging on about unity against the folks who were providing him with cheap gas. yet again, as though that's going to do anything to get him out of the energy crunch. and it's, we were able to show that russia is no longer a reliable business partner kind,
11:19 am
it has reduced the gas supply to all of europe, always allegedly because of technical problems that do not exist. good, see it. so it's important that we do not fall into putin's trap and that we stand together. some of the switch dish, what unity, the ear is knocking on doors worldwide, cap and hand begging for gas. meanwhile, washington pretends like the situation has absolutely nothing to do with it. when they act on the you in the sanctions falling in the 1st place, she don't couldn't help getting in a little jab about how energy rich canada has quickly blossomed into the girl. he suddenly has all the guys banging on her door because she suddenly has something that they desperately need after ending their energy relationship with russia. the fact that you came on this trip a specific driven and i know we've said this a couple of times, but it actually means a lot when a leader like yourself comes to canada, not on the way to or from washington,
11:20 am
but just for the express purpose. of coming to canada, as a canadian myself, i can say that some subtle canadian, passive aggressiveness, the euro just dropped below parity with the u. s. dollar, and it said its lowest value in 20 years. so things really are looking good at this point. so i showed, showed up on kansas doorstep, gave it is best shot, but ultimately didn't even get to 1st base in terms of any real action. rachel, thanks very much particular through our that's our t contributor rachel marston now the number of prisoners held without trial and is really jailed, has hit its highest peak since 2008 with hundreds behind bars. none of them are jewish. israel is currently holding more than $700.00 palestinians in prison without trial, among which only 11 or is really citizens,
11:21 am
palestinian captives are being held for lengthy periods without being charged tried or convicted. the number has risen since march after a series of terror attacks. however, it states in june alone, $180.00 for palestinians, including one minor, had been held in detention for more than a year. 18 appeals to the high court to council the detentions, none of those were approved. less pos live, not to the har, francis director of the aisle, the mere human rights organization. you're welcome to the program. yeah, a significant rise in people in prison with a trial in israel. what does that tell us particularly, but human rights in the country? this is a gray fe relation for the basics of human rights, actually arresting people without charters without a trial. this is
11:22 am
a battery detention. this is a great fe, relation for the 4th geneva convention, but the policy of admin thought of detention actually is used by raleigh occupation whenever they are political tension. whenever they claim that they are creeds in activities and attacks by the poor, simians in order to justify mess at a campaigns, that they are launching every day. actually in the different opinion, cities and villages. and this is, explains why the number of deadman sort of detainees increase so dramatically in the last couple of months. only 11 of those, this is quite eyeopening stuff. only 11 of those held without trial have is really citizen ship is those wouldn't to be considered as jewish is riley. most of these 11 as well would be full of finance with israeli citizenship or the residents of jerusalem that would be included in this figure. as well,
11:23 am
something else kelly, just touch upon the lawyers of the detainees. say they aren't ever showing any of the evidence against her clients. is that right? is that normal? like for one the appeals process would be humphrey significantly, wouldn't it? exactly. this is the problem. off the admin, sort of detention that it's all based on secret information. when the military governor issued the arrest order, it's based on secret file, which also me as a lawyer, i don't have access to. so we have to defend the denise and the didn't. he has to argue in front of the judicial review judge without knowing what exactly there is against him, which if he dances, they hold. and it's all secret, even in the appeal process or in the petition to the high court. even the cases that you mentioned in front of the is that all the high court, it's reviewed based on secret information that,
11:24 am
that to me or his client or his lawyer are not allowed to see. has there been any reaction from international human rights organizations on this? it's only is that i'm nifty and human rights watch international organizations like the you and special report tours and other condemned the policy of admin to detention and consider that as a practice off at a bitter a detention which as i said is a war crime that should be stopped, but unfortunately as little as occupying power is not taking seriously all these statements issued by the international community. what do you say when israel defends itself by saying there wouldn't be this many in detention if terror attacks against the country? we're continuing, but there is an option that if they really have evidence is against those people, why they don't charge them in, in the trial and enable them to defend themselves. why they use secret information
11:25 am
. and can you understand arresting a child under 18 years old and claiming that he's code code thing is threat if very serious threat to the security that can justify arresting him for one year based on secret information. israel has been accused of human rights violations on multiple occasions. we know that, but very rarely, if ever is further action taken. are you hopeful that might change at all in the, in the future? i hope that the international community will understand that without serious actions, without effective actions against the israeli government will not a boy to the international law will not respect and implement their obligations and international law. only
11:26 am
a few weeks ago as well. and military confrontation interrupted between palestine and israel, after which there was a spike in the number of those held without trial or that attentions used as another weapon in the bottles after the physical fighting. and this is a strategy definitely. it's the tool of control over the population, the poll senior population. this is why they lounge math arrest campaigns whenever there's a tension, whether against students against activist human rights defenders. jordan lists politicians and all people. all often activists actually could be arrested under admin, sort of detention without a trial live in the program. so har francis director of the altamira human rights organization. thank you for your time today. thank you. now latvian authorities in riga has begun dismantling and memorial to soviets orders, commemorating victory over nazi germany. the controversial move has provoked
11:27 am
outrage in moscow and among lafayette minority ethnic russian community. luffy and police arrested at least 5 people from the crowds who gathered up the site to protest of the starts of this month. the authorities in the capital of noise, the monument would be completely destroyed. archie corresponded peter scott told me more. so the monuments in question here is the monument to the liberators of reagan . i was built in 1985. you said in the, in honor of the soviets role in liberating rieger from nazi germany. now, i don't know if you've seen it, but it's quite a huge structure. it's an 85 me to believe this flying by the side by soviet soldiers on one and the soviet woman on the other with the arms vase high. and this move by the latvian or for it is just the latest in the baltics. there's actually stokes tensions with russia. for example, it comes just one week after estonia removed another soviet monument in the town of
11:28 am
nava 9 has to be said, this money was much smaller than the $1.00 in latvia. but the issue is quite divisive, and these baltic countries like, you know, stoney about chic salary, to the plans, to move soviet era monuments in lights of the war in ukraine. but as i said, it is quite device if and in lots via there's around 25 percent of it's 1900000 population or ethnic russians. and many of them are against the removal of the monuments liberators of rica. the lucky and russian union was planning to hold a protest to decry and denounce removal of this monument. and he said that it gathered around 10000 signatures of people who are against it. both the local authorities, they did not give a permit. i think safety and security for the last. the whole area has actually been quoted off in preparation for that demolition. but talking about this particular monument to the liberators of not the 1st controversy surrounding it every year on may. the 9th locals gather that to lay flowers in one of the
11:29 am
sacrifices made by soviet troops to liberate the city. and this year, local police said around $20000.00 people gather the this official events. but here's where the controversy lies early the next day, those flowers that were laid by those people who actually bulldozed and we can see quite shocking images of them circulated on. social media must be hundreds of thousands of flowers that they got rid of. and obviously this caused a wave of discontent, and it was widely condemned by the russian foreign minister as well as the lobby and russian union, both in an act of defiance on the next day made the 10th people went to lay more flowers in honor of the soviet sacrifices made, but the controversies don't and that on the day made the 10th. there was a young lady of 19 years old at the time, alexander stefan of he was up, she arrested for waving a russian flag and giving a speech. now he says he sees the victory day on waving the russian fox as
11:30 am
a symbol of unity. but i think it's fair to say that the lobby authorities in the police didn't see it the way they saw his actions supporting the war. and you know, he faces up to 5 years in jail, just certainly a happy sentence for waving a flag like i say, a very divisive issue, and i'm sure this won't be the last time we'll be discussing the baltic states moving soviet's era memorials. peter scouts taking us through that. i'm not indeed is or rap, i'll choose these news for now. but if you're in the mood for a little further digging, do give us a follow and social title to wherever you see that green and black r t local. i from a .
