  German broadcasters ARD, ZDF suspend reporting from Russia
  Frankfurt: German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF on Saturday stopped their reporting from Russia after Moscow backed the imposition of jail terms on media publishing "false information" about the military.
  In response to the new legislation the broadcasters would "suspend their reporting from their Moscow bureau for the time being", WDR a member of the ARD broadcasting group said in a statement, following similar decisions by other news media including BBC News and Bloomberg News. The public organisations would "continue to inform the public comprehensively over events in Russia and Ukraine from their other locations", the statement said.
  Russian lawmakers have threatened to impose jail terms for publishing "fake news" about the Russian army, part of an effort to stifle dissent over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. BBC News, CNN, Bloomberg News, and the Canadian national broadcaster CBC announced similar decisions on Friday to suspend their work in Russia.
