:03:05. > :03:12.volunteers who are assisting and integrating refugees,
:03:13. > :03:17.but we often have refugees there who say, OK, I'm
:03:18. > :03:19.anxious to go there alone, or, I'm fearing in this flat,
:03:20. > :03:23.and we have difficulties in this neighbourhood,
:03:24. > :03:27.and so on. In terms of who is behind this,
:03:28. > :03:30.is it far-right groups, I mean, a part of it is definitely
:03:31. > :03:41.done by far-right groups. But what we see is that,
:03:42. > :03:46.in many cases, local people are also trying to attack refugees,
:03:47. > :03:52.because they are not happy with refugees living
:03:53. > :03:56.in the neighbourhood. And that is a serious thing
:03:57. > :04:03.because that is very difficult also. The right-wing groups,
:04:04. > :04:12.they are under the radar of the police, but these neighbours
:04:13. > :04:14.are, in many cases, unknown and they hide away and they are not

:04:32. > :04:35.opposition leader, Boris Nemtsov, who was shot dead in Moscow

:04:43. > :04:54.has been at the demonstration. This crowd here has come out to
:04:55. > :04:58.remember Boris Nemtsov, two years after he was shot in the back and
:04:59. > :05:02.killed next to the Kremlin, a murder that shocked Russia and people
:05:03. > :05:08.believe it was meant to terrify other voices of opposition into
:05:09. > :05:10.silence. They have come out in this act of remembrance and defiance,
:05:11. > :05:19.shouting that Russia will be free and will out Putin. I came here
:05:20. > :05:29.because it is kind of my job, if I lived in Russia -- I live in Russia,
:05:30. > :05:39.I show my voice here, that is it. When Boris Nemtsov was killed, that
:05:40. > :05:43.was a tragedy for Russian freedom and for the Russian freedom movement
:05:44. > :05:48.and for our family as well. It's very important that we were here
:05:49. > :05:54.last year and also this year and we will be there next year, that's for
:05:55. > :05:59.sure. Still no real answers as to who killed Boris Nemtsov. There are
:06:00. > :06:03.five men from chatting on trial in Moscow who are supposed to be the
:06:04. > :06:07.hit men, the contract killers by the man who is alleged to have ordered
:06:08. > :06:10.the killing has disappeared and indeed Boris Nemtsov supporters and
:06:11. > :06:14.his family and lawyers believe that there is actually a cover-up, that
:06:15. > :06:18.the real people behind the murder have not been found. But they do
:06:19. > :06:23.believe that Boris Nemtsov was killed because of his political
:06:24. > :06:26.views. Russia is heading towards a presidential election next year and
:06:27. > :06:30.this march is a reminder that not everyone in Russia agrees with and
:06:31. > :06:36.supports President Putin, despite his ashen Mikel ratings in the
:06:37. > :06:42.opinion polls -- astronomical ratings. It shows the danger of
:06:43. > :06:46.being in opposition here. Just before the march, someone ran out of
:06:47. > :06:52.the crowd and through green liquid at the face of one of the opposition
:06:53. > :06:55.leaders here. Many people here are carrying flowers that they will take
:06:56. > :06:59.to the spot on the bridge where Boris Nemtsov was actually murdered.
:07:00. > :07:03.There has been a shrine there ever since. It is guarded by volunteers
:07:04. > :07:08.24 hours a day because it has been smashed that I've handled multiple
:07:09. > :07:12.times. People are determined to keep the flowers coming in memory of what

:08:42. > :08:43.impoverished conditions, so there is a complete lack
:08:44. > :08:45.of services within Mosul. When people flee, they are fleeing
:08:46. > :08:47.through front lines, And often there is a
:08:48. > :08:53.significant number of trauma cases where families
:08:54. > :08:58.are getting injured in the process. Children are normally about 50%
:08:59. > :09:00.of the population that flee. It is a very large
:09:01. > :09:02.number of children. In the villages up to
:09:03. > :09:07.Mosul, in the south, we know that Isis are doing this
:09:08. > :09:14.tactic of withholding civilians at and moving the populations
:09:15. > :09:16.from area to area. We've had reports of that happening
:09:17. > :09:18.as well within Mosul. It is an incredibly complex sort
:09:19. > :09:22.of operating environment when it comes to these divisions
:09:23. > :09:24.within the Iraqi community. At the moment people are relieved

:11:45. > :11:49.the politics and the movies coming together. This is the most
:11:50. > :11:55.politically charged Oscars I can remember. I know we had World War I
:11:56. > :11:59.and World War II, but the atmosphere is so uncertain and anxious, this is
:12:00. > :12:02.a public platform going to hundreds of millions of people around the
:12:03. > :12:07.world and people want to express themselves. The issue for the
:12:08. > :12:13.winners, whatever side of the divide they stand on, how do they say
:12:14. > :12:17.something that isn't partisan and pointed, but is poignant and
:12:18. > :12:22.captures what everyone is feeling on both sides of the divide and there's
:12:23. > :12:27.something profound? Very difficult to do. Marlon Brando did it in 73
:12:28. > :12:34.when he refused his best actor Oscar for the Godfather and he sent a
:12:35. > :12:39.Native American woman to reject the Oscar on his behalf and explained
:12:40. > :12:44.that she was doing so because Marlon Brando disapproved of the treatment
:12:45. > :12:48.of Native Americans in the movies. It was a strong message, it got
:12:49. > :12:55.booze and applause, but it became part of Oscar history. Do you think
:12:56. > :13:01.people are worried about any backlash? We saw what happened with
:13:02. > :13:07.Meryl Streep after her comments. Or do people think it could help their
:13:08. > :13:11.personal position. Do you know what, I know that we not stars quite a lot
:13:12. > :13:15.but I don't think anybody is that small minded. Trying to get the
:13:16. > :13:20.measure of the moment. If people don't like what President Trump is
:13:21. > :13:23.doing, if they don't like his immigration ban, they will be
:13:24. > :13:27.concerned but they don't want to play into his hands, to sound like
:13:28. > :13:37.bleeding-heart liberals, luvvies, and he can say that they were bound
:13:38. > :13:42.to say that. And the movies now! La La Land, is that out of sync with
:13:43. > :13:47.the politics, or is it escapism? Great question, it could go either
:13:48. > :13:51.way. If the Oscars were two weeks ago, La La Land would storm it. Such
:13:52. > :13:58.is the speed of change and sentiment in the country, it may be perceived
:13:59. > :14:05.as a little bit Lovie, so perhaps Moonlight will take it. La La Land
:14:06. > :14:08.is fluffy but it is a good piece of film-making that fits into a genre
:14:09. > :14:13.that goes back to the golden age of Hollywood, the French new wave of
:14:14. > :14:18.the 60s, it isn't cynical, it's about dreams and ideas. Hollywood
:14:19. > :14:24.loves that. But I think Barry Jenkins may well win for Moonlight
:14:25. > :14:29.and if he does he will be the first black person to win best director.
:14:30. > :14:33.If he doesn't win it's going to be Damien Chazelle, the youngest person
:14:34. > :14:35.to win best director. It is going to be politically charged, and I think
:14:36. > :14:46.history is going to be made. We will bring you the Oscars as it
