German Man Sentenced to Death in Belarus Begs for Help on State TV

THE GUARDIAN: Rico Krieger admits role in Ukrainian plot and pleads for German chancellor to save him during broadcast

A German man sentenced to death in Belarus has appeared on state television in the country, in tears and begging the German government to intervene in his case.

“Mr Scholz, please, I am still alive … it is not yet too late,” said Rico Krieger, who was pictured handcuffed inside a cell, appealing to the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz.

Authorities in Belarus, a dictatorial state where torture and politicised trials are rife, claim that Krieger, 30, travelled to the country last autumn on the orders of Ukrainian intelligence, with the goal of carrying out a terrorist attack on a railway line.

“This was the biggest mistake of my life. I admit my guilt, without a doubt,” said Krieger in a section of the interview where the original German was audible below a Russian-language voiceover translation. At several moments during the 17-minute television programme he broke down crying. » | Shaun Walker in Warsaw and Deborah Cole in Berlin | Friday, July 26, 2024

Indiens Kurkuma - Heilsam und heilig | GEO Reportage | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE

Jul 22, 2024 | Kurkuma, von vielen als das indische Gold verehrt, ist ein ganz besonderes Gewürz. Wo wird Kurkuma hauptsächlich abgebaut? Bei welchen Krankheiten wirkt es sogar heilsam? Und wie taucht Kurkuma in religiösen Zeremonien auf? Wir begeben uns auf die Spuren der Wunderknolle.

Hauptabbaugebiet der Kurkuma sind die Berge von Andhra Pradesh. Hier verarbeiten auch Veni Macs und Dr. Sudheer Krishna gemeinsam mit lokalen Bauern die Wunderknolle. Die beiden haben eine Kooperative gegründet, um Bio-Kurkuma zu produzieren. Denn nicht jedes Kurkumapulver ist auch Gold wert. Minderwertige Sorten, schlechte Verarbeitung und gepanschte Pulver finden ihren Weg auf den Markt. Dabei ist Kurkuma in der Kultur und Religion Indiens stark verwurzelt und begleitet das tägliche Leben vieler Bewohner als Gewürz und auch als Heilmittel. Der Wurzel wird desinfizierende, schmerzlindernde und antibiotische Wirkung zugesprochen. Sie soll gut für den Magen sein und zum Beispiel bei Gelenkschmerzen und Alzheimer helfen. Veni Macs betreibt in ihrem alten Dorf Chintapalle im indischen Bundesstaat Andhra Pradesh gemeinsam mit ihrem Lebenspartner, dem Arzt Dr. Sudheer Krishna, eine Kurkuma-Kooperative. Veni ist überzeugt, dass sie durch ihre Arbeit vor allem für die vielen Frauen der umliegenden Stammesdörfer eine sicherere Existenzgrundlage schaffen kann. So lernen alle Feldarbeiterinnen, wie sie wertvolle einheimische von minderwertigen Sorten trennen und durch gezielte Anbaumethoden eine besonders reichhaltige Ernte erzielen können. Und sollte dies gelingen, steht einem ausgelassenen Kurkumafest nichts im Wege!

Why Fixing Family Rift Isn’t Prince Harry’s Priority | Royal Insight

Jul 25, 2024 | This is Prince Harry’s self-professed dragon slayer moment. In the latest instalment in the ongoing saga, he has appeared in a new ITV documentary, Tabloids on Trial, to say that his fight against the British press has contributed to the rift between him and his family.

He calls his various media lawsuits a “central piece” to the collapse in his relationship with the rest of the royal family and says that it would have been nice if they could have done it together, as unlikely as that may now sound.

It marks Harry’s first interview about phone hacking since his claim against Mirror Group Newspapers concluded in December, when he was awarded more than £140,000 in compensation after 15 of 33 articles were found to have been the product of unlawful information gathering.
