RT stringer among 4 people taken hostage in besieged Ukraine’s Donetsk – report
http://rt.com/news/174924-ukraine-stringer-phillips-disappearance/

Quote
RT’s contributor, UK journalist Graham Phillips is among four people taken hostage by Ukrainian troops, Anna news agency reports. Phillips has been missing since he went to Donetsk airport on his own while a firefight was taking place.

The other three people in the group are reportedly Anna News’s cameraman, an employee of the press service of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, and possibly an acquaintance of Phillips, who accompanied the journalist to the airport.

He arrrested for the second time... Arrested due to same reason, in the same place and by the same people. What's wrong with this guy?

I guess some reporters get the action junkie fever when they cover these hot spots and perhaps throw caution to the wind regarding their safety. I wouldn't want to be that guy that is flown to wherever the violence is happening.
