Russia shut down German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) in Moscow as a retaliatory move to Berlin's decision to ban Russian broadcaster RT DE. Russia said it was stripping DW's staff of their accreditation.

Moscow said it would stop the German channel being broadcast in Russia and start proceedings that would see it declared a "foreign agent," a designation that carries a negative Soviet-era connotation.

Russian foreign ministry said that it would bar entry in Russia for German officials involved in banning of RT DE.

The row between Russia and Germany has erupted amid tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine Crisis. The strain between Germany and Russia can be first political test for news elected German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Germany's MABB media watchdog and Commission for Licensing and Supervision (ZAK) of media institutions said this week that RT DE could not broadcast in Germany using a Serbian licence, a decision that angered Russia.

In a statement on its website detailing its retaliatory measures, Russia's foreign ministry described the German move to ban Russian broadcaster "unfriendly".

No immediate comment from DW was forthcoming.

The announcement comes amid a crackdown on media outlets Russia considers "foreign agents". It uses the term to designate foreign-funded organisations it says are engaged in political activity.

In retaliatory move, Russia shuts down German broadcaster DW in Moscow

Foreign journalists who were fighting for their lives to bring the latest coverage of the China floods have faced hostility and survived ‘vicious campaigns’ against them in China.

Some reporters from the Los Angeles Times and Deutsche Welle had to face angry crowds in Zhengzhou who believed the media personnel were slandering China.

Mathias Boelinger and Alice Su, two reporters in Henan, were doing on-ground coverage of the floods and the aftermath of the deadly natural disaster. They were reporting about how the underground markets of the area were flooded which had led to shopkeepers losing their assets.

While some people co-operated, others got angry at the ‘foreigners’ and accused them of "rumour mongering".

"There were many other ppl [sic] in Zhengzhou and the surrounding worse-hit areas who were open and even eager to talk about the destruction and difficulties they’re facing," Su tweeted. "But this crowd seemed really angry and eager just to tell the foreigners off."

DW’s reporter, Boelinger, said the crowd was mainly attacking them as they thought the two reporters were from the BBC and he was BBC correspondent Robin Brant.

"What I did not know at the time was that a manhunt was on after [Brant]," said Beolinger. "There is a vicious campaign against the BBC News in nationalistic circles and state media."

When the two reporters shared their traumatic experience on Twitter, some other reporters, too, replied saying they had been through the same unpleasant experience while reporting about floods in China.

A woman who had tried to de-escalate the situation for the 'foreigners'&nbsp;was identified as a local reporter by users of China’s social media platforms and she was subjected to criticism for her actions.

This has come as the official casualties do not match with the numbers being reported by the local media. China’s government has announced 69 deaths and only five missing people. However, local media has reported at least 22 other people who have been missing since Tuesday afternoon.

There is significant drop in new COVID-19 cases in Germany. Germany will start to relax some border controls introduced in March to slow the spread of the coronavirus with the aim of having free travel in Europe from mid-June. The tentative step, aimed partly at helping the tourism sector, comes as the European Commission prepares to urge a return to "unrestricted free movement", though that push will stop if there is a major second wave of infections. In partnership with DW News, we bring to you ground report from Berlin, Germany.
