the sense of those who has it to do with chechnya false that encourages diversity solidarity and empathy. that the defendants found innocent of the acts they are charged with. also coming up he was responsible for the video that brought down the government in austria 2 years ago now he's fighting to stop his own extradition from germany to austria is the man behind a set up now the target of a set up. nice may have caused a sad but if all you need to lock someone up is 2 people with questionable reputations and strange statements and you can lock up anyone you want to absolutely anyone and that's in austria which already has autocratic tendencies and danes said in a b.z. he pictured having a system like or buns hungry so if we're being honest austria isn't so far away from that anymore. or to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with a 21st century battle between homophobia and religious conservatism that can really only be understood by starting in 14th century poland it was more than half a millennium ago when the icon k

he even wrote a book accusing the fsb of starting a war in chechnya for political reasons.nko a traitor. his image used for target practice by russian special forces. this wasn't just symbolism. in march 2006, eight months before litvinenko's murder, the russian parliament passed a law authorizing the liquidation of enemies of the state anywhere in the world. >> you don't pass that just for the sake of passing it. you have to have somebody in mind. >> reporter: seven months after the law was passed, someone was liquidated. a prominent russian journalist, shot in the head outside her moscow apartment. she was a friend of litvinenko. three weeks later, litvinenko himself was poisoned with polonium 210. duma leader zhirinovsky certainly didn't shed any tears when that happened but laughs off the notion that the russian state was connected in any way. for one simple reason. he thinks russian agents would have done a better job. >> translator: i'm surprised that the uk special services and the uk court accuses russia and lugovoi that with a bag of polonium they came to london an

it's actually a country with a big muslim population, including one part of the country, chechnya is actually run by sharia law. that's actually how it's run. it's a country that represses some christian groups. it will arrest evangelicals. it's not a country of religious freedom. it's not a conflation of christians at all. it's a country that, as you say, arrests and murders dissidents. including some who are outside the country. they use poison to kill people who have left russia. and yet, as i say, there's a part of the far right that now imagines somehow because russia is on their side, they can use russia in their partisan wars, inside the united states. it's a bizarre phenomenon and i'm hoping that the more patriotic, mainstream members of the republican congress will start to fight back against. >> there are of course concerns about the anti-democratic forces, the ill liberalism not only you've seen as the rise of president trump and the republican party, but as anne has documented so well in poland and hungary and anti-democratic forces. we saw those anti-democratic forces on
