thank you very much for joining us russian opposition leader alexei navalny has been transferred to a hospital in berlin to receive emergency treatment for suspected poisoning russian doctors had initially said he was too sick to be moved from a hospital in a siberian city of homs but they change their position late on friday let's speak to our correspondent in berlin dominic kane dominic obviously a lot of questions surrounding his health what do we know about his condition right now. one of the things that stands out about this case is the level of uncertainty about what has happened to mr nonviolently about tarot what got into his system got into his system and how medics in the building behind me at the chalet to a hospital here in central berlin can get it out of his system in a way that might salerno him some form of recovery whether that be full or otherwise different leaders of different countries have all weighed in on this
6:03 pm
issue of what has happened to mr nardelli the german chancellor angela merkel saying that she was for pat to host mr nava to have him in this country for his treatment but full of questions about what has actually happened to him and the one thing that is for those who hope he will pull through is at last he is here. this is where. his journey has brought him but world renowned shiny to a hospital and the start of treatment his supporters hope will save the life of one of the most prominent critics of the russian government he'd been brought here on board a special flight through the night from siberia after russian doctors finally agreed he was fit to travel. the patient's family a fully of didn't have all the dice are about the diagnosis and condition of the patient and they're ready to take the risk to transfer we've decided that we don't oppose transferring the patients to another clinic but valley's friends and family
6:04 pm
are asking why it took so long for these doctors to agree with those who'd flown from germany to collect me now found his wife believes the delay was specifically to allow whatever is in his system to degrade and to make identifying it therefore harder she thinks he drank tea that had been poisoned just before he boarded a flight to moscow from tomsk the or thora he's at the russian hospital where he was treated deny this rule we have come to the conclusion that judging by the fact that there were no poisons found in his blood or other biological materials he has a metabolic disorder lowering of blood sugar levels to be specific due to a rapid change of pressure everyone thinks it was during take off staff here have immediate relevant recent experience of treating patients with the sorts of symptoms that alexy now vanny has come here with now they get the chance to find out what exactly is in his system and how they go about removing it but how it got
6:05 pm
there in the 1st place remains unclear dominic kane al-jazeera at berlin's charity hospital. well this is not the 1st incident a suspected poisoning on opponents of the russian government. is a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school he says the types of chemicals associated with previous incidents are extremely destructive. most of these poisons are of the neurotoxin variety there are basically no agents used in industry and when you cannot use them you make them super potent and what they do is they are tracked your breathing your neural transmission and they can per hour lies you make you are unable to function and sectarian go coma and the idea is it happens very suddenly so sometimes these
6:06 pm
chemicals bind irreversibly with your receptors in your body or not receptors and then all you have to do is hope and pray that new receptors are generated and that we can keep you alive whilst new get new you know receptors are generated to allow you to function again it's a very fine and difficult balancing act that we have to undertake sometimes people survive with difficulties sometimes people do not survive or before this incident had been voicing his support for the thousands of demonstrators have been rallying for his 7th weekend in russia's far east region of khabarovsk the protesters are in support of a regional governor say gay for a god he was detained last month then taken to jail in moscow is accused of ordering 4 murders in 20042005 which he denies for downs supporters say the
6:07 pm
charges are politically motivated any kremlin plot against democracy. human rights groups in bell rules say last week's police violence was planned systematic and ordered by the top leadership they've compiled 500 cases of torture during the protests that followed the recent disputed election. but while victims demand justice they have no court to turn to step boss and report on mids. worse than a horror movie that's how the family described their ordeal inside a detention center the entire family was detained on august then the evening after protests started against a disputed presidential election police responded with violence and detained nearly 7000 people across belarus. situation and these are guys who are. and. have. they can do whatever they
6:08 pm
want so they have the permission. 16 year old me or most of her family members to be detained he was walking with his mother when armed police grabbed him there was no protest at a time when christina a marketing analyst and her husband and a doctor went to a police station to look for him and they too were lead taint they were taken to a christina a detention center in minsk where many detainees have said they were tortured. there was devotes a paulist to pull the women were forced to completely undress and they were filming us on their phones then we moved to the floor where naked men when the hands behind their backs i could only think about my son's friend who saw her father naked in this position and when she turned her head away she was beaten christina who is a diabetic says she lost consciousness after being refused medication she was kept with 34 women for 3 nights in a cell meant to hold 4 people we should look at china mama men were screaming for
6:09 pm
their mothers there with the sounds of electroshocks sons of horus sounds of beating. things and there were women in a cell he knew that children were among them and their husbands too was horrifying it was more horrible than being beaten ourselves we were afraid that they had captured the whole city and they would kill everybody they were shouting at us that they would do that. models outside little attention santa kept shouting their children's names mitterrand was released after 6 hours i have no illusion. of the story. just experienced and faced. the worst experience was actually looking for my parents where they were it was terrible and i just found. this people being in power after looking around the country for his parents miron found them after 3 anxious days the disco family and others who have been detained
6:10 pm
here at this detention center in minsk of us their lawyers to file cases for on lawful detention but human rights groups don't believe their cases will ever go to court because bellows has not signed the rome statute there's no international court to turn to either human rights groups are now preparing hundreds of testimonies to be sent to the un committee against torture so they are not protect people from the state the state can do everything with the people we will have more and more political motivated cases and more and more political prisoners about. you know people more like him anymore. with the reality like many others who were detained and abused after the election to to scare families sassed that fear has now been replaced by anger and this anger they say has now united to balance people like never before stop france and al-jazeera minsk. in other world news a delegation of west african leaders has arrived in mali to push for
6:11 pm
a swift return to civilian rule following a military coup or former nigerian president goodluck jonathan is part of the group representing the regional bloc echo os. was ousted on tuesday rebel soldiers say they plan to appoint a transitional leader but haven't given a timeframe. i think. what we need and where. we see what is happening in my life i think what i want to tell them. is deeply that i believe at the end of. some of them. there's going to be a new good might well. as. following developments from abuja in nigeria made how's this delegation from being received in bamako given that most don't want. back in power they don't want a reversal of the cool what can this delegation achieve félicie
6:12 pm
well basically the reception will depend on what the military or for the new government in mali think about this delegation but the people have already met their stands known especially members of the opposition remember the day after the coup. hundreds of you would took to the airport which was closed down saying that they would not allow their course delegation to land in bamako so that sent a message today the military authorities in by michael can easily count on the support of these young men and women in mali who've been protesting about the past 4 weeks or so realistically to achieve in what they will achieve in bamako it's hard to say however one key thing is the. indication that a cause is somehow softening its initial stance and rhetoric about the coup in mali . first
6:13 pm
a 2nd day after the coup was executed of course and i want to rough tough measures that include land and blockade of mali. sort of restricting trade and money in flow from member countries into mali as well as other measures that include suspending the country from membership of the organization decision making bodies so right now mild their course also said even once a swift return of the work of kheta to power which of course is becoming more and more difficult to achieve so when goodluck jonathan arrived this morning this afternoon his statement points to the fact that the course realize the situation they're in and both sides has what the other ones of all courses keyed to get. and members of his cabinet out of out of the military detention and the military want some form of recognition an easing of tough sanctions against them by of course and
6:14 pm
the international community he say the military wants some form of recognition ahmed how well i pads. in dealing with the problems that miley's face with the problems that led people to take to the streets and you know voiced opposition to the brain but does the military have a solid plan. a lot of people doubt that they have the capacity to deal with the numerous problems molly's face and remember mali is a landlocked country depends on its neighbors for access to see it also the economy is also not in a very good shape so basically it's hard to say that these officers who are used to the barracks and with little or no experience about governance well will have the power or the idea of taking money out of his current predicament and the fear of folly is what the armed groups and rebels in the north and central parts of money where you also have ethnic militia very active well think about the power vacuum
6:15 pm
but they're the fear right now that these groups may exploit the power vacuum and unleash more harm in mali and in neighboring countries for example in a fossil. and also we've seen how recently they were able to sort of attack on the border with ivory coast so it's a very very critical situation which needs both sides ecowas mali and international partners walking to establish peace or return peace to mali to come together and sort this problem out so that's the main challenge right now the secure secure secure in mali better and also putting at rest the minds of people who've been angry about the economic and social conditions they've been in over the past few years a critical situation as you say ahmed and will continue to follow all the latest developments with the. west africa correspondent reporting there live from in
6:16 pm
nigeria. now the ruling party in ivory coast has formally chosen president alassane ouattara to run for a disputed 3rd term in october his election he accepted the nomination at a rally in. the opposition says it's unconstitutional and amounts to a cool ouattara had declined to seek a 3rd term but changed his mind following the death of his chosen successor last month. there's plenty more ahead on this al-jazeera news hour including libya's u.n. backed government announces a cease fire its rival in the east also calls for a whole team fighting ross we follow the syrians who sought safety in levanon but became victims of the blasts and a trophy they have come to treasure sylvia savor more success in the european league we'll have details later in sports with it.
6:17 pm
to the u.s. now where the house of representatives has convened to decide whether to send a $25000000000.00 to the u.s. postal service sent brought changes to the system before the november election representatives cut their holidays short over concerns of postal service boss donna has been tampering with operations to slow down to the delivery of bonnets as one in particle handles on capitol hill for a spotty so the house has been in session for about an hour now i believe remind us 1st of what this is all about what's happened so far in this session and what we can expect. it's a lot of partisan bickering back and forth and we're not going to get a vote probably around $21.00 g.m.t. because now in the age of coronavirus they have to vote in small groups they're on the house floor in masks because that's now mandated and it's really become a partisan issue but here's the issue the u.s.
6:18 pm
postal service delivery times have slowed they just simply have and what that has meant for thousands tens of thousands maybe of millions of people is that their mail is not showing up we're talking about checks from the social security that's the retirement checks rent checks. medication especially when it comes to veterans the vast majority of veterans in this country get their medicines in the mail there have been countless stories of those being delayed and what's happening here is this all started when the postmaster general a trump loyalist instituted pretty wide changes he took out hundreds of what's called fast sorting machines just rip them out of these sorting facilities he's delayed overtime for change the procedures he says it's simply because they have less staff because a coronavirus i think it's important remember coronavirus really started to affect this country in march the changes really didn't start to show up until july shortly after he was appointed so now what we see here is the democrats in the house they've come back into session this bill would give as you mentioned
6:19 pm
$25000000000.00 to the post office but more than that it would make all of the changes be basically canceled now the postmaster general is said he's going to stop doing what he's been doing he will implement any more changes until after the election democrats say that's not enough he needs to reverse course he needs to plug those machines back in he needs to let the cares do the schedule they've always done republicans though are crying foul they say this is really just a democratic witch hunt another hoax meant to hurt the president this the u.s. postal service has become a key part of the u.s. election as we see it in the last few weeks how has the american public i mean been we acting to this ah people concerns. people are very concerned they've been flooding their representatives and their senators offices with stories of what this is doing to their small businesses what this is doing again as far as getting critical medicine to people who need it but it's really become an entrenched
6:20 pm
political issue in part because the u.s. president has said if you allow mellon vote in the you'll never see another republican president there is no evidence that melon vote voting actually mellen voting helps either party he says they'll be mail fraud the president does a voter fraud but there's again no evidence of voter fraud at all so the president's been trying to really cast doubt on this but the same time the postal service says this is a real concern that most of the states in this country the way they have it set up their ballots are not going to get in on time in the way this is set up in most states if you're ballots not in by the election day they simply throw it away so this is a very real concern that they're trying to address but even if it passes the house which it likely will because the democrats control the chamber it doesn't seem like the republican senator majority leader mitch mcconnell is going to take it up and that said this issue could be a little bit different because people love the post office they really don't want you to mess with their mail so they could put increased pressure on these
6:21 pm
republican senators to do something to make sure that it's fixed by election day thank you very much for that particle hane live for us there on capitol hill and that's discuss this further now with scott professor of international politics at the university of birmingham is via skype from birmingham in the u.k. thank you so much scott lucas for being with us again on al-jazeera so lawmakers debating whether to give the postal service a 25000000000 infusion of cash and as patty said that this will most likely come down to party line in the house and you know the senate mitch mcconnell has indicated is not interested in this but do you expect any republican surprise and vote for this bill as a result of the pressure from the public. yes 1st of all the other essential background on top of that exit report from your correspondent is that 2 weeks ago the white house cut off negotiations with the democrats on a 2 trillion dollar compromise coronavirus package bill that included 10000000000
6:22 pm
for the post office so the democrats have come back and they will pass or is this through the house and there are 8 republicans there are 8 republicans who have indicated that they may support the funding for the post office some of them are in very tight election dollars in november including susan collins of maine the question isn't whether you would have enough votes and because if those republicans join the democrats this bill will pass it comes down to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell will he allow the bill to go to a vote so those republicans can cross the floor if this bill passes the house and the senate what difference would it make. well it would provide immediate funds into the post office which as again your correspondent noted is important not only in terms of trying to maintain election security but also vital services regarding payments regarding medicines regarding small items of livestock that are essential for farmers all of that is now in jeopardy but i think you do ask
6:23 pm
a very good question because no amount of money right now can really turn those 671 sorting machines that have been removed in the last few months under the supervision of trucks political appointee and mega donor louis to joy so while the funding is necessary going down the line we still have the immediate crisis of has this postal service been decimated on trump's orders so it is not fit for purpose for mail in ballot and right there to isidore the postmaster general says he is extremely highly confident that the postal service could handle the largest votes by mail program in american history and it do you believe have did do you think this will work. lose to joy also sort of for the senate hearing on friday that he didn't know about the removal of the sorting machines so i'm not sure i have much confidence in his idea that all is going to be ok if he points ignorance of what has been happening over recent weeks when you and i know what has occurred i think we'll find out more when he appears before
6:24 pm
a house committee on monday right but at this point the postal unions are saying postal employees are saying and reliable political observers are saying that there is a serious situation of the postal service and there is no confidence right now that this postmaster general is neutral given his background of giving billions to donald trump did to what extent do you think this this situation with the u.s. postal service will have an impact on the election and hope benefits from this will the postal service want 45 states 45 out of 50 states last week that they are not in a position to guarantee that mail in ballots will be counted byelection day now it is very important that the states given that donald trump not want to do anything the states have taken action to extend the time to file your ballots before election day some are applying to have votes counted after election day so for a few days or up to
6:25 pm
a week if the states put those measures in place then you get more confidence but at this point you have got a political battle that donald trump has opened because he said last week no money for the post office unless there is a block on mail in ballots and quite clearly american democracy relies on that ballot especially during this pandemic thank you so much for talking to us can't look us professor of international politics at the university of birmingham thank you for your time we appreciate it thank you. now the un recognized government in tripoli has called for an immediate ceasefire in libya the rival parliament in the east aligned with warlords honey for half talk all down all parties to stick to a truce have to has yet to respond. who can enter will have to will respect distance were they able to guarantee he would respect to supply after the building talks or previous agreements he 1st spec's this is fine we will welcome got because we do not want to be and bloodshed we call for peace however if you violate the
