Emotional scenes at Andrews air force base as Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan and Alsu Kurmasheva step onto American soil
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have met Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and two other freed American prisoners just hours after Washington and Moscow completed their largest prisoner exchange since the cold war.
On a muggy evening at Andrews air force Base near Washington DC, Gershkovich and the other freed prisoners, ex-marine Paul Whelan and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, touched down on US soil and shortly later disembarked a Bombardier Jet from Turkey. They were met by their families and the US president and vice-president.
