handover and lexie we think they say the substance disappears from his body he is not in a good condition and we do not trust this hospital we demand that he's handed over to us so he can be treated in an independent hospital by doctors we trust when the last german ambulances landed in arms after an offer from chancellor angela merkel to treat vanny in europe though novell needs aid say they never requested a such help. i hope and wish that he will recover as quickly as possible and if you wish to do so and what applies to friends also applies to germany we will offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals but of course he has to hold on 1st a small scale demonstrations were held in a number of russian cities in support of army some protesters accused president vladimir putin of being behind the suspected poisoning there were reports of several arrests let's go live now to mach's moscow alexandra steele out of each god

for is there xander draw this all together for us the latest developments on the county's case. so what happened during that is that he's in about his condition stayed as it was he is still in coma on the medical ventilator still on the conscience and tests are still still being around now the method of him being transported was something that family wishes to happen they want to transport him to germany actually away from the hospital in on school which apparently they do not trust what the doctor said that he cannot be transported that it might be even in danger his life that even though during the night his condition went slightly better he is still not a patient that cannot be transported anywhere out of that hospital they said this after consulting with the special is that right from one of from 2 actually best

a plane waiting ready and equipped of water and boarding the patients in karma and what about the arrival of this german ambulance on squids sure the values team so that they have they didn't request. now that's a bit strange situation because yesterday evening the people from the vileness headquarters were saying that they have a plane organized and that this plane a was coming with the help of cinema for peace foundation which 3 years ago transported another opposition or allegedly poisoned here in moscow to the same hospital in germany so at the same time yesterday they were saying we have things ready weekend transporting we have the proper documentation when it comes to flying again the proper the proper thing but they did not actually request the help from germany as such in this respect so that at the same time yesterday was information
