The journalist of the German ARD TV channel Hajo Zeppelt came into conflict with the crew during an interview with the “Rossiya” TV channel, and then pursued them through the streets during half an hour. The incident was featured in the video of the news broadcast at 8 p.m. During the interview the journalist Olga Skabeeva asked Zeppelt to submit documents confirming the facts in his film, but he said he did not have them. Then Zeppelt criticized the Russian journalist, calling her “stupid”. In his opinion, she shouldn’t defend her country.

      At the end of the interview Zeppelt threw the microphone out of the door of the room where the conversation took place, then began to take away the camera tripod and asked to delete the footage. Then he pushed the operator out of the room, began to threaten to call the police, hit the camera. For some time he would not let Skabeeva pick up her bag left on another floor. The journalist also took off the foam tip from the microphone with the logo of the “Rossiya” TV channel.
