people of color have suffered not only now but for decades we all thanks need to transform the way the kids business if we're going to adapt to climate break down this street on out is the. time and the differences on the same cultures across the world so no matter what. kind of. russian opposition politician alexina he is in a coma with suspected poisoning he fell ill during a flight to moscow. hello i'm adrian for the good this is al-jazeera live from also coming out. for close to 4 years now he has shown no interest in putting in the work former us president

barack obama breaks with tradition and slams donald trump in his support speech for democratic nominee joe by. iran will never have a nuclear weapon president trump puts pressure on the u.n. to reimpose sanctions on iran after a u.s. attempts to extend an arms embargo was defeated. that opposition supporters in better reuss say that they'll press on with protests despite warnings by the president of another crackdown. but with that breaking news out of russia the reports that opposition politician elects in of all they is unconscious in a siberian hospital with suspected poisoning. this was the moments when he fell ill during a flight on. it's way to moscow his plane made an emergency landing in the valleys

spokeswoman says that he's not intensive care and on a ventilator she believes the poison was mixed into his t.v. alexandra steele out of it's called for is a journalist and joins us now live via skype from moscow alexander since we spoke an hour ago one of the doctors treating the valley says that he's not at all sure that the politician was poisoned what more do we know. yes exactly he is one of the doctors are treated now by lee and he indeed said that they 'd are not certain that royson is the cause of the novelas condition but he said that it is one of the possibilities of sense that they're at the moment running tests searching for a diagnosis of causes of. condition which he said is serious stable that he is still on ventilator not only still unconscious so he did it again

conscience ever since he lost it in the plane riding from a flying from tomsk to moscow we called to hear his screams and this is what eyewitnesses are also saying that he started sweating and that he started screaming and the plane had to urgently land in the nearby town of arms in the hospital according to reports there is a lot of police police was initially called by the by his press secretary and his lawyers are demanding investigation in what happened according to his press secretary dee only thing he had from early morning is that one tea in one of the cafe is that of don's airport but he says at this moment at the airport they're questioning the staff and said they are going to do a little investigation off their own as to what might have happened in that place if it is indeed found that to the valley has been poison this would have been the 1st time would it. know it wouldn't end this is what makes it so serious

on top of everything last year in august he was hospitalized with 'd and reach symptoms and then it was also suspected that if he might have been poisoned then he was actually hospitalized straight from the tension center in which he has has been held as a suspected organizer of massive protests in moscow at that point the doctors also said that they don't know what happened that they are thinking that might be an allergy but. himself and his doctors have said that he's been poisoned whilst in the potential center also then as we could hear doctors refused to go into further details cold think up patient doctor confidence or medical secrets for example many thanks dave are exempt status quo for that in moscow moscow is a member of the estonian parliament and a former director of the baltic center russian studies he joins us now via skype

from estonia is capital time and good to have you with us so what are your thoughts on what may or may not have happened to novotny unfortunately this is very near terrible sad news what we cure. again this. again and it is no surprise the. previous debt which. this tool to silence is the right tool to silence critics of the kremlin are pretty supporters really as p y e through all of. this very trouble to recognize that these is highly possible that we witnessed today again that somebody is. very much would like to silence mr no one is probably the only why known across russia as the voice today after the killing of boris them solve $2.50

but would something like this if it if it is found that he has indeed been poisoned would have been directly sanctioned by the kremlin would it have been that brazen. you know it's cold but not by the nice weather recognized not only in russia but globally as we speak right now on your news they. may not have. had. the better many. there are creation of oil in it he was chased 30 times during the last several years and and of course he's a t.v. across russia fighting interest for russian and. against. dictatorship and something what hurts a lot. of russian power you could only speculate that there are. links to pre-sentencing tossed in the. upcoming elections

are our own a horizontal or or so there are. demonstration. hearts. we mind the rolling color so it goes. on so the people's revolution which is going on and embarrassing has made very nervous the current russian leadership. they don't want to see russian people to. open their wife's. if i put a pretty yes but i mean as i come back to the question i asked you would have been directly sanctioned by the kremlin or would have been someone acting if you like on the kremlin's behalf sort of doing what they think the kremlin might have wanted. here again you know after only what we got from the cause the major of

our position here is my. belief. is along. the very dark hole that. may be. no week or. interest all of. you know or to. the one who. rushed. to the right. could stop she said many thanks to malcolm nicholson there in tallinn. former u.s. president barack obama has told the democratic national convention that his successor donald trump has sort only to help himself and his friends while in the nation's top job and he said the trump had diminished america's reputation abroad came a speech from the horace joe biden's pick for the vice presidency i was there as

alan fischer reports these words i except your nomination for vice president of the united states of america a moment of history in 188 years of political conventions in america the 1st woman of color to accept a vice presidential nomination for a major political party common the hardest to the moment to introduce herself to the country but the role of the v.p. candidate is to attack the president his running mate and their record donald trump's failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods if you're a parent struggling with your child's learning or you're a teacher struggling on the other side of that screen you know what we're doing right now is not working and. we are

a nation that is grieving it's rare for a former president to criticize a sitting president but from the museum of the american revolution in philadelphia and at times emotional the rock obama said that a public created by the movement that moment is in his belief under threat from donald trump donald trump hasn't grown into the job because it can't and the consequences of that failure are severe 170000 americans dead and millions of jobs gone. while those at the top take in more than ever our worst impulses unleashed are proud reputation around the world badly diminished and our democratic institutions threatened like never before and there was an appearance to from elizabeth warren a darling of the progressive wing of the party and from the defeated democrat last

time around hillary clinton who are people to vote noting she'd won the popular vote 4 years ago by 3000000 and still lost the white house the convention also covered issues to be tackled by joe biden if he wins gun control immigration and climate change but this was a night when history was made and presidents were broken thursday is joe biden's big day he'll accept his party's nomination to run for president and when he delivers a speech he knows he has to give a positive message a plan for the future he can't just run on being the guy who is not donald trump alan fischer al-jazeera washington. president trump is demanding that all united nations sanctions be reimposed against iran he says that secretary of state mike pompei o will meet the un secretary general later on thursday to stop the process. the rand will never have market and market them iran will never have

a nuclear weapon when the united states entered into the iran deal it was clear that the united states would always have the right to restore the u.n. sanctions that would prevent iran from developing a nuclear weapon we paid a fortune for a failed concept and a failed policy a policy that would have made it impossible to have peace in the middle east and this follows an earlier u.s. failure it's we extend an arms embargo on iran at the security council but the new proposal will likely face strong political and legal challenges is 0 as mike hanna reports from washington. in terms of resolution 2231 which is the one which actually sets out the or a new nuclear deal that makes very clear that snapback and sanctions can only be called by a country or a member who is a participant in that deal now remember president trump will be us out of that deal back in 2018 so the very strong argument and the legal supposition would be that as

no longer a party to that deal by its own definition the us has got no rights to demand anything let alone some kind of snap back like this and one must remember as well that the deal makes very clear that they are certain parameters that iran must stay within to avoid such a snapback the other members the other parties to that deal make very clear that they believe that iran has largely complied with the requirements in terms of their 2015 deal so very difficult to see what president trans basis for this is nevertheless he said to get secretary of state to the u.n. tomorrow to meet with the secretary general you'll also be lobbying among other members of the security council to try and get some kind of support for the deal but you remember that iran meeting last friday when the u.s. attempted to extend the arms embargo which expires in october and it was absolutely humiliating only the dominican republic voted with the united states the other

normal allies such as france britain germany abstained russia and china didn't even need to use the veto that they threatened iran has announced the production of 2 new missiles ignoring us to moms that holds its program one is a ballistic surface to surface missile with a 1400 kilometer range it's named after custom solomonic the general killed by a u.s. drone strike in january and the 2nd is a missile is launched from a submarine with a range of 1000 kilometers named after iraqi militia commander. who died alongside solomonic. a weather update next day i was 0 then how argentina is stepping up efforts to find a coronavirus vaccine as its economy struggles under a months long lockdown of more punitive measures by the u.s. against beijing's new security law in hong kong.

but. we got some rather stormy weather spinning into northwestern parts of europe at the moment you see this coal of cloud that's been rattling its way in from the atlantic tightly packed as the buses sort of chop expect to see in autumn not in summer very strong winds winds could gust in excess of 100 kilometers per hour at times across pushing over into northern ireland scotland western parts of england as we go on through thursday some really lively weather coming through here potential for some travel disruption maybe some power outages as well possibly some tree damage too ahead of that we're drawing the winds from the south so some high temperatures 31 celsius there in paris on thursday father reese but some places a cloud of rain over it was eastern parts of you had a dome of fine weather into central pa sincerity there across the med it's right

and as will be the case as we go on through friday also still in berlin as we go into friday 34 celsius but you come back into our weather more autumnal weather we'll see temperatures around 23 in london with that brisk winds still rattling 3 and some rather wet weather also making its way into scandinavia wet weather moving across central parts of africa will see some heavy rain into chad have a gravity make its way into nigeria. jump into this stream and julian on global community this generation will. to create its own democracy with social media on an online be part of the debate let me put some you keep coming steve when no topic is off the table it's taking an hour with the semi violence that people of color have suffered not only now but for decades we are going to need to transform lives the way we can see with maybe a business if we're going to adapt to climate break down this street on out is the

. hello again this is of 0 has for much of the main news this hour russian opposition politician alexina valmy is reported to have a coma in a siberian hospital with suspected poisoning he was on a flight to moscow when he fell ill his spokeswoman says the poison was mixed with his teeth. for us president barack obama has slams donald trump during a speech at the democratic national convention use of the trump was only sought to help himself and his friends during his term in office. and the democratic party formally has not been

a senate sort of color harris for vice president it makes her the 1st black woman of a major u.s. party ticket. the u.s. suspended 3 extradition untax agreements with hong kong it's in response to china's imposition of a strict national security law on the territory the u.s. has already moved to and hong kong's special trade status it's also put sanctions on anyone involved in enforcing the new legislation to syria's pollen reports from hong kong. so reaction has been trickling in and so far the china's ministry of foreign affairs says in retaliation hong kong will suspend several legal agreements with a child with the united states they haven't specified exactly what they will be but we've also heard from the hong kong kong kong government who say that they reprimand the u.s. is unilateral actions they say these treaties are agreements with the u.s. for for the benefit of both countries and they say that the u.s.

is just talking more tensions with china and using hong kong as a pawn in geopolitics but this doesn't come as a surprise the u.s. breaking off this extradition treaty with hong kong the u.s. joints just a long list of other countries who have done this since that national security law came into place last month and other countries include the u.k. germany france australia canada and so the u.s. is just the latest want to do this and part of the reason all these countries are wary about the national security laws that it has no boundaries anyone anywhere can be charged or violate that national security law in fact there's an arrest warrant for a u.s. citizen currently living in america who who works for an adam democratic advocacy group for hong kong and washington and so if this treaty remains in place prosecutors would have the right to bring him over for trial not just in hong kong but possibly even in mainland china so this move president trump says and as

administration says just underlines the fact that hong kong is no longer east separate entity from the rest of china and doesn't deserve the special privileges that the u.s. had granted the territory opposition supporters in belarus so that they will defy warnings by president alexander lukashenko of a renewed crackdown on dissidents he's ordered security forces to clear the streets after nearly 2 weeks of demonstrations over the small. disputed election has warned that workers who've gone on strike could lose their jobs officer a step boston was one of the latest protests in minsk. a very different mood on the streets of today compared to previous days not much of the euphoria and the festive mood that we felt that people had sort of found a new kind of freedom today it was more dominated by fear and tense because. i had

announced a new crackdown he has instructed his ministry to find those who have been organizing the rallies but still. protesters are back on the streets and a smaller number but they're here and they're still asking for new elections and to release all the political prisoners. and that this happens despite the threats and also the risk of hundreds of people have gathered here again at the independence square saying the president is fired meanwhile the coordination council set up by the opposition leader. held its 1st meeting and has issued a manifest calling for a dialogue about a transitional and new elections. that this council illegal i'm going to

say that it was a coup d'etat but it also says there's nothing illegal they just want to have a garden with the president you know of course i'm afraid because i know the system used leading us to the present time so very negative words. was against it was. for me personally. we want to do a lot we're not propose any legal steps so why should we be punished why that's a challenge for the opposition to keep the same actions on the street they have made it's clear protesters are not giving up yet but major alex on the look of china. president lukashenko has warned that any thora interference will be strongly rebuffed telling a new leaders to mind their own business again barbara reports. if alex on the lucas shanker is feeling the pressure he's not showing it the man he's rubella risk

for more than 25 years and officially won this month's election with 80 percent of the vote says his leadership is not in doubt yes. if anyone thinks that the power here is staggering and shaking you're wrong i want to say that the power has someone to rely on so we will not waver we will follow our path as we should i was earlier the losing opposition candidate who fled to lithuania for her own safety and whose husband is in jail in belarus called on european leaders to get tough with the last order of jitteriness say in the eyes of our nation and. on our hero. i cor here to support. those e.u. leaders gathered online for an emergency meeting convened by shell michel head of the european council after talks broke up here outlined how they'd agreed to respond to an election they say was not free or fair and the subsequent crackdowns

on protesters we stand firmly behind the right of the belarusian people to determine their own food and the e.u. will impose shortly sentients on a substantial number of individuals responsible for violence repression and election fruit on top of those sanctions that use making money available for pro-democracy groups in belarus as well as for its health sector. all this of course is seen by the russian government as meddling a day after president vladimir putin wants his german counterpart not to interfere his foreign minister rejected calls for russia to press president lucas shanker to talk to the opposition to the deals to live with his news nice to everybody believing mediation is the only way out i am ploy of them not to forget the way our western colleagues mediated in 2014 during the my down in kiev when the esteemed representatives of the european union mediated reached an agreement i will remember

what that led to. so for now with the president threatening to go after dissenters in belarus and his main ally rejecting outside involvement in dialogue the fear and uncertainty that surrounded the elections still there the debugger al-jazeera at least 45 people including 5 children have died in what the u.n. is calling the deadliest incident of libya's coast this year the victims were refugees and migrants from parts of africa hoping to reach europe the boats engine exploded off the force of the water on monday only 40 others were rescued by local fisherman and were later detained. argentina is battling a surge in corona virus cases with at least 312000 infections now confirmed than 6000 deaths the government says that intensive care missions and hospital bed occupancy rates have become unsustainable 0 stories of the reports. black balloons to remember health care workers who died of covert 1000 here at the

hospital good and then when our societies and doctors nurses and aides say they are deeply concerned for themselves and their colleagues as their virus continues to spread. there have been 60 deaths of health care workers throughout argentina and $16888.00 infected healthcare workers we will have beds here in the city of one aside is in the province there will be beds but for sure they won't be workers to attend those beds they'll be virtual beds. argentina was one of the 1st countries in latin america to impose a lockdown and even though in the beginning it was able to control the spread of covert 1000 cases are once again on the rice leading the government to announce another extension of the country squire in teen. in spite of the virus thousands of argentines took to the streets last monday to protest against the government and the lockdown many believe 5 months of total lockdown is too much place it.

seems to me that as in other countries we should be trusted to behave like adults and responsibly resume work in moving the country forward. but as discontent is on the rice so is the effort to help produce have a last week argentina announced a local laboratory will start manufacturing the highly promising astra zeneca oxford vaccine. assuming the vaccine is proven effective and clear safety trials argentina will then distributed to country throughout south america with the exception of brazil which is producing its own vaccine. countries in the region have been on one and this rather dramatic effect on the economy from people who live this long. in a way like our own countries in this part of the world will be able. as soon as possible most of them obviously without it. says production will start within weeks

we started to work with the transfer we already started we are purchasing things at risk and we want to separate even easier if the results are not yet there we are awaiting the results for october and we will moralist out of it at that time frame but we are not waiting for the result we are just moving as fast as we can. the lockdown has helped preserve life in argentina but it has also exacerbated an already difficult economic situation the challenge now is to jumpstart the economy without any increase in loss of life. and. india appears to be struggling in its battle against the coronavirus it's just reported a new record increase in daily infections almost $70000.00 in the past 24 hours that brings india's total number of infections to 2840000 it's the 3rd worst hit country in the world at indian health officials have released the latest results of an antibody survey survey rather as al-jazeera is elizabeth parata reports from new

delhi. health minister says that 29 point one percent of residents have antibodies to the corona virus that's out of the latest c logical survey which tests for antibodies it was conducted in the 1st week of august testing around 15000 samples now confirmed number of cases is just over 156000 but the indicates that the real number of cases are closer to around 6000000 given that the capital has a population of around 20000000 and a surveys being done around the country paint a similar picture the results of the survey in the city of pool they from earlier this week that's in maharashtra the worst affected state that showed that over 50 percent off the city's 6000000 population have antibodies now one of the big reasons for the discrepancy between the confirmed number of cases in india and what

see when logical surveys show is the relatively low level of testing and that's one of the reasons why the indian government has really ramped up testing it conducted more than 100000 tests on wednesday it wants to be conducting least 1000000 every single day but the other problem is the number of the quicker but less accurate rapid and teaching tests that are being used up to 30 percent of all the tests in the country other less accurate rapid antigen tests and on wednesday demi's high court once again expressed concern that the government in delhi is using double the number of rapid adhesion tests as as it is the test the more accurate test that's known as the r t p c. it is good to have you with us however adrian figure here in doha the headlines about 0 russian opposition politician alexina balbinus reportedly in a coma in
