their homes in california the governor appeals for help from canada and australia. don't strike doctors in kenya say they are stuck with substandard protective gear to treat coronavirus patients due to corruption. now russian opposition leader alexina valley has arrived at a bell in hospital to receive emergency treatment for suspected poisoning russian doctors had initially said he was too sick to be moved from a hospital in the siberian city of homs but they've changed their position late on friday on the volley is wife yulia believes the delay in releasing him was intentional to make it harder to detect any poisons remaining in his system in the valley felt during a flight to moscow and allowed john mccain is in berlin with all the latest. the hospital has released a written statement in which it says it is now doing performing an extensive

diagnostic of mist and of on the going through his system working out what is wrong working out what foreign elements are in his system which of course tend to shows such as a bad reaction to whatever is in his system they say they're going to it's going to take some considerable time once they've worked out what they think is wrong they're going to communicate that to his relatives to his wife to others and only after that will they go into more detail will they make a more public statement now separately the family of mr lee have also said that they are going to take some time maybe maybe some days before their pants too to give a much wider statement about their side of things and remember the group who arranged the medivac the medical evacuation flight the cinema for peace foundation well they have said that when he was on board the plane and when he was handed over into the care of german authorities he was in

a stable condition particular lee surprising because he was put into an induced coma in russia by the doctors who were treating him there and remember all obviously there are many many questions still being posed right now about what's in his system how it got there and how people can remove it certainly that's the sort of questioning that's going on right now in the building behind me the château hospital. alexandra stuff stay out of that as a journalist who is best in moscow and she has more on the reaction from the family . they are relieved that off their 2 days of uncertainty and fear the violet was finally allowed to leave the hospital in. the family never actually it's not about the family didn't trust that much medical expertise of russian doctor doctors but what they distrusted and what they were afraid of is and what they believe is that the doctors were on their to political pressure and

that's why they wanted him and moved out of there they also strongly suspected that he was poisoned which is something that the russian doctors after 2 days off analysis say was not the case that they can find any poisons and diagnosed him with that type of them at the balika these order so in this case of the family is still wondering why it took so long to let him go out of that hospital to get the permit to transport him to germany with the plane already waiting there when it comes to the reactions from the officials one should not expect to many because in the 1st they voiced by russian president spokesperson we had that he is like any other says a citizen of russia and he will get the assistance he needs as any other would and he did get the assistance because all these permits had to be given for the plane to land and for the plane to take off for taking him to german hospital now he's a man whose name has never been mentioned by the russian president even when he

referred to so we could expect another wish for him to get better but not very much more than that well before this incident novelli had been voicing his support for the thousands of demonstrators if you are now running for a 7th weekend and russia's far east region of cover of those protests are in support of a regional cotton assegais fagel he was detained last month and taken to jail and moscow he's accused of ordering format is in 2004 in 2005 which he denies. fogel supporters say the charges are politically motivated and a kremlin plot against democracy and in the region and other sensitive issue from oscar the exiled belorussian opposition leader has called for more protests against president alexander lukashenko for donna to kind of guy is leading the call for his resignation there have been demonstrations for 12 days now including some of the biggest anti-government rallies in the capital minsk since the fall of the soviet

ways that enabled it to eat a antibodies that's the last thing we want we see this a lot with anti. by resistance besides which it might just be that the worst in vaccine will be unsafe that is there might have adverse effects that might make code worse who've seen that with other vaccines like dengue. so this is a serious problem you can't rush science research or to know in addition to being. the problem if there is a in effect a vaccine it might mean that people think they're protected when they're not and they go out and have a risk we hate yours this is the last we want because it's reducing global confidence in a vaccine and what we need to do now is boost confidence in the code not backs in so we don't have the accident as of. now doctors in kenya as public hospitals are

be a little bit. insurance cover had expired 2 months ago and they're been working without any medical coverage and when 'd they all think they have to pay from the book and the doctor says if you're going to be up front like this or that believes that your government should do what you need to protect you just get your policy or even the other you know try to push for them to compensate those of the health care workers died more than to love it and when you know she called and called we'll say the same but that had a little something so that's one of the few major issues when it comes to working with. it could get worse and for us as a doctor we don't don't just wake up when the and we try to don't know what to do in the middle of a condom and we are tight with the government from the president when called on they are. not thinking that in the early much and they had endless meetings with them we are done media boobies and our bill for them to be able to help us and
