Pic shows: Yekaterina Kotrikadze. The boss of Moscow’s journalists’ union says an MP accused of sexual harassment should have complained he was the one being harassed because of his accuser’s sexy bra. In the wake of other complaints against Russian MP Leonid Slutsky, deputy editor-in-chief of the TV channel RTVI Yekaterina Kotrikadze came forward to say Slutsky touched her inappropriately in 2011. She also said he tried to force her into a kiss, after three other female reporters made similar allegations. But Moscow Union of Journalists boss Pavel Gusev appeared not to take Kotrikadze’s complain seriously, and even offered advice to Slutsky on how he should have dealt with it. Gusev said: "I look at all this with surprise, irony and a bit of laughter. "It’s surprising that seven years later, someone says that some man touched them. And I should believe that? Why?" He suggested Slutsky himself should have hit back with his own complaint of sexual harassment because of the journalist’s supposed attire. He said: "Had I been Slutsky, I would have said ‘she was wearing black panties and some bra that day’." In fact there are no reports on what Ms Kotrikadze was wearing on the day of the alleged attack. But Gusev still claimed to be champion for women who had been subjected to sexual assault. He said he would always defend women "when there was a reason to defend them". Pravda writer Yelena Krivyakina has also added her voice to those accusing Slutsky, saying he sexually harassed her in 1998. She says a senior government official warned her not to make a fuss and added: "I kept my mouth shut for 20 years. And I would have remained silent if not for this story with Slutsky." Slutsky, Chairman of the Duma’s Committee on International Affairs, denies all accusations against him. But the reports of sexual harassment inspired fellow MP Oksana Pushkina to try to resurrect a bill that would criminalise such behaviour in the workplace. Pushkina

Pic shows: Franco Rodrigo Gaspar Cinco, convicted of the murder of his girlfriend and her son. A 28-year-old journalist has been sentenced to life in prison for giving his girlfriend and her toddler son cyanide disguised as holy water and killing them both. Franco Rodrigo Gaspar Cinco from Salta Province in north-west Argentina was convicted of murdering his partner Alejandra Parraga, 26, and her two-year-old son Amir Parraga. According to reports, Gaspar Cinco killed the pair in June 2017 when he visited his girlfriend’s home carrying a bottle of holy water that he said would help with the tot’s sickness. As soon as he drank some, the toddler collapsed. His mother instantly tried to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on her two-year-old, but came into direct contact with the poisonous chemical compound. The young boy’s grandparents rushed him to hospital but he died shortly after being admitted. His mother perished before arriving at the Hospital San Bernardo. Gaspar Cinco was arrested the next day during the victims' funeral. Before the boy’s death, prosecutors said that the 28-year-old journalist allegedly tried to get rid of his girlfriend’s son in other ways because the youngster’s presence bothered him. Throughout the trial, the suspect maintained his innocence. In court, Gaspar Cinco said: "I never intended to end Alejandra’s life nor her son’s. I had plans with Alejandra, she was the love of my life. "I have a four-year-old son. So, as a parent, how do you think that I could do that to somebody else? "I cannot control what has happened to me, but I did not have the intention or ability to carry out what has been assumed." (ends)

Pic shows: Elmira Musazadeh, the journalist dangerously reporting while helicopters fly near her This is the hair-raising moment a reporter stands on a military runway as attack helicopters take off inches from her head. Beautiful brunette Elmira Musazadeh works for the SBS TV-channel in her native Azerbaijan. Musazadeh was reporting on the 100th anniversary of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from a military air base where attack helicopters were taking off inches from her head to take part in exercises. In video footage, the young reporter is seen standing on a military runway recording a news segment on the centenary anniversary. As she speaks to the camera, attack helicopters whizz past her head, missing her by inches. Unfazed by the incredible noise and relative danger, Musazadeh professionally completes her report and does not even flinch when the choppers fly past her. The sound is so loud that it is barely possible to make out what she is saying during the broadcast. Producer Saadat Mammadova was pleased with Musazadeh’s efforts, saying that she had "left her mark" as a reporter. However, not all netizens were impressed with her reporting. ‘LalaAliyeva-Klychkova’ said: "This was not brave. She completely ignored safety rules. I am confused about the hype she is getting." ‘FadailAgaev’ commented: "This is remarkably stupid." ‘Zabava Putyatishna’ wrote: "She is lucky to still have her head on her shoulders. What idiot told her to stand there?" However, ‘Adyl Guseynzade’ disagreed: "What a brave reporter. She trusted the pilots and was professional throughout."
