And to talk about the Americans return home and these emotional family reunions,

I'm joined by Alsu Kermacheva's husband, Pavel Bhutoran, and their older daughter,

Bee. Thank you so much. Welcome back to the news hour.

We had you on in this studio just about 10 days ago.

After also had been convicted and sentenced to six and half years in prison for quote

spreading falsehoods about the Russian army and you told Amin Navas that day

this. No matter what we say it doesn't adequately describe the pain that we go through every day.

We wake up thinking about Sulu.

We go about our day, thinking about what other humiliation she is subjected to by the Russian government. We see that

empty chair at a dinner table. We go back, we go to bed thinking of her and we dream

of our reunion.

10 days later, how is it to have that dream fulfilled?

Well, this is a clearly a much happier occasion for us to be on TBS.

It was an unbelievable day surreal really. We were so happy to embrace

also again and to welcome her back home. Yeah my sister and I are so over the moon and happy to have her back.

It's unbelievable how much we missed her.

Pavel, how's your wife doing?

Well, obviously this unjust imprisonment has taken an emotional and physical toll on her well-being and

she is now receiving the medical treatment that she wasn't receiving for more than nine months.

I think she's doing okay, at least emotionally. She was obviously excited to see us.

So she is in good spirits.

But now this new chapter begins
