calling this unacceptable. we understand the white house of the state department of both been in touch, not only with the russian government, but also with evan gertrude's family. we do know that this is something that is of grave concern to the white house. we should also point out that as the white house is condemning the actions of the russian government in this arrest, they are also condemning the broader actions of the russian government in targeting journalists and in the overall repression and lack of freedom of the press. that is occurring in russia now in terms of this particular arrest, we should point out that the u. s. government is now trying to acquire access to the reporter he, they are trying to be able to speak to him to get what's known as consular access. what we're being told from the russian side is that this will be granted, but in due course. so what that means of when this will happen is unclear. but as

you said at the start of the program, what the us state department is advising american citizens in the interim who are living there are planning to travel to russia. is that they should not do so. and if they are already living or in russia at this moment, that they should leave immediately. let's talk about the timing of this. obviously, the retentions between the united states and russia over the ukraine war, but there are other issues as well under yeah, there is real questioning that's happening in the united states right now. but the timing of all of this, not just because of the ukraine war and not just because of the fact that the u. s . has been very outspoken about as concerned about the repression of political activists and, and freedom of the press. but also because of a particular indictment that the u. s. justice department laid down in recent weeks and it has to do with a russian national that attended graduate school here in the united states under

the alleged auspices of being a brazilian national is now in detainment in brazil and was arrested by brazilian authorities. there are questions about whether or not this is retaliatory in nature . senior administration official has been briefing reporters in the last half hour or so. they're trying to investigate sort of the motivations for the rest of the american wall street journal reporter. in the interim, we have to remember also that this comes on the heels of that very well publicized swap of the basketball star, brittany greiner, the w. b, a star, brittany griner in exchange for the russian army dealer, victor boot that did not include the release of the american former marine paul whalen. so i've been concerned that there now is another american. 2 to add to that list still in detainment, in russia. so the white house, very concerned about this. we are waiting

a press briefing. we should point out that will be coming up in the next hour or so we'll be waiting to see what the white house press secretary has to say about this . of course, the white house has released it statement condemning the arrest of the american journalists wall street journal reporter evan gershwin gun. that's our what is corresponding. kimberly hawker kennedy. thank you very much. indeed. while having gas covers his lawyer says the toiler moscow was held behind closed doors and he was not allowed to attend. but it really them probably look example, right. they held a quick trial. i don't know. it took 3, maybe 15 minutes. and then as far as i understand as far as we all he understand, he has taken away from here with the most he to place him under rest. well, his publications released a statement saying the wall street journal vehemently denies the allegations from the f s. b and seeks immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, evan gosh college, we stand in solidarity with evan and his family law. his law pasta. gov is a journalist and you cut through berg, the city in russia. jewels where m glasgow,

which was arrested. he says the wall street journal reporter was looking into several stories in connection with russia's military. yes, sooner. i met evan on march 16th here, 2 weeks before he was detained. he told me he was investigating the public rao that the head of wagner group give guinea pig roger had with the local governor, your evans speak fluent russian. and he was looking for people among journalists and politicians who could comment on that. and then also said he wanted to visit the wagner group cemetery, which isn't far from here. he was also planning to go to nita gil, where russia's mil to industrial, giant wood alpha guns of all it is located. i think that might have been it. and i want him, i said listen, you might get into trouble for this. go out. but he said he should be okay. that he's working within the law and doing his job as a journalist. loss, everybody's outside the court and moscow. 31 year old evan gar coverage made us 1st court appearance here in this building behind me,

i left over the court house on thursday and the russian capital, the charges that are being brought against him are that of espionage against the russian federation. the court told the reporter that he will be held in custody for the next 2 months until may 29th, where the investigation will continue. now, if he's found guilty, you could face anywhere from 10 to 20 years in prison. these charges stem from allegedly, him carrying out activities in a central region of russia where the f s b services alleged that he was gathering information about the russian security apparatuses in that region. now these are allegations that the kremlin is aware of, according to the mitre pest called the spokesperson for the kremlin, the journalist was caught red handed at carrying out su, knowledge in russia. we also heard from the russian foreign ministry spokesperson, who says that this is not the 1st time something like this has happened,
