so the huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now trying to close extrapolate that across the country and the spread of coronavirus appears far wider than anyone. in the in. the in. the german hospital treating kremlin critic alexina says is evidence he was poisoned but his life isn't in danger. i'm fully back to boyer watching al jazeera live for my headquarters in doha also coming up donald trump arrives in north carolina where the republican party has kicked off its convention to formally nominate him as its 2020 presidential candidate. 3 leading opposition activists are detained in better rules the day

after one of the biggest protests against president look. and hundreds of thousands of families displaced by weeks after renshaw rains and flash flooding in yemen. doctors in germany who are treating me says tests results indicate he was 4 years and the russian opposition leader was in an induced coma when he was transferred to berlin from a hospital in siberia on saturday doctors said they found no poison in his system a long time opponent of frozen vitamin a protein fell in on thursday colleagues say all he had to drink was a cup of tea or we'll have reaction from russia in just a moment with alexandra story out of each got far but 1st let's get the latest from berlin with al-jazeera is dominic cain so doctors in berlin saying he was likely

poisoned to what more are they saying and what evidence are they giving and what's the latest also on his condition. the evidence they've given is what they say is in his system that what that they can't say specifically what it is but they say that the substance is part of a family of chemicals called colonists inhibitors which are used sometimes in the pharmaceutical industry to control conditions such as dementia or out simas but much more regularly used in of agents in pesticides and chemical weapons now what they're also saying about his condition is that there is no immediate threats to his life but remember he's in a coma and in an induced coma the other thing they've said is that they are not sure if he is going to recover they're not sure how full the recovery will be but

they're being very clear they say there is a toxin in other words a poison in his system and that is in very stark contrast indeed to what was said by the russian doctors who treated mr novel in the 1st in the city of remember they said no they believed they had saved his life and that there was no suggestion of any poison in his system interestingly enough a couple of days later the units in the hospital behind me the world renowned you know treating of toxins in patients they say yes there is a toxin in his system. and the german government dominic has has also spoken about about about madonna's convention condition for the 1st time today but they've been very cautious about directly blaming russia. yes from the german government from other governments from other leading politicians in the european union there are many questions from the point of view

of ministers here in berlin the foreign minister the social democrat was meeting his ukrainian counterpart earlier and he was expressing grave misgivings about what has happened to mr have on the butt and requesting aunts is interesting they since it's become clear from the shot a hospital behind me about what exactly has happened to mr of arnie's some politicians in brussels specifically give the hoffs that a belgian politician of some standing in the european parliament and in his words is talking about complicity in russia and he has made accusations about the government of law to me a putin and the level of complicity he is alleging between russian doctors who treated mr advani to start with and the governments of iran to meet putin clearly there is no confirmation no proof whatsoever of what midst of a hush that is alleging but it is certainly clear politically not just from him but

also from governments there are many questions in people's minds about what has happened in the valley most clearly of which is how can it be that medical experts in who treated mr advani could suggest that there was no poison and system and in fact he was suffering from low blood sugar and a change of air pressure inside the plane and yet having been flown in another plane here then he could be taken to a world renowned units dealing with toxins in patients where they say very definitively yes there's a toxin in the system a poison in other words thank you for that dominic kane live in. remind of what doctors who treated me in russia said about his condition early on monday take a listen. we were treating the patient. and we saved him there wasn't and couldn't have been any outside influence on the patient's treatment yet those of us the most

almost flawless i know of. the diagnosis of poisoning remained until the end of the day until a 12 i'm not mistaken we received a final conclusion from 2 laboratories that no toxic chemicals that can be considered poisons or by products of poisons were found let's bring in alexandra so janowicz contra moscow based journalist alexandra russian doctors saying of ami was not poisoned so what's going to be the reaction from moscow to the findings by the german doctors. well so far we have only reactions from people that are close to know viney so from people that were saying from the very beginning from day one hour one that they assume he was poisoned so what they're saying now is look our he potters is our assumption now is affected now has a confirmation from a ring known to a clinic but this doesn't actually rose more questions because what people now want

to know the close ones to to the valley and generally the public is how it happened then moreover how did it happen that the tests came negative on the toxins that were tested in 2 labs one in moscow the other in tomsk now there is a lot of sort of allegations and a lot of speculations of how that could happen maybe the doctors didn't test this specific names or maybe there is also a theory started to to to to get popular that it was not samples of another i knew that were sent to the hospital but these are all speculations that this point have no answer what is interesting is what the his personal doctor said she actually claims that she asked doctors about this specific condition they told it's he's clear on that she asked she says whether he's being given a drop in and they said yes of course so her question is like why are they there were telling this were they really treating him or was what was this all about in

their own skulls when it comes to the official more official reaction we still don't have any on that side coming in we know that this morning they were saying we're told out of poisons we don't it was poisons doxes but we had lab results and they were all negative so we moved on to some other diagnosis well that now obviously is not the case thank you for that alexandra strand of h. card fraud live there in moscow for us. the and the earth. the process has begun to formally nominate donald trump as the republican candidate for november's election the us president has just arrived in charlotte north carolina for the republican national convention air force one landing just a few minutes ago in charlotte north carolina these were pictures from earlier when trump left washington d.c. but he's just arrived in north carolina and he's about to disembark air force one

the 4 day long convention is crucial for the president to reverse his slump in opinion polls as he struggles to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic woes president trump has been trailing his democratic rival joe biden in these swing states are expected to determine the outcome of this vote let's bring in. the white house for us there you are. so the president has just landed we've just seen mike pence speaking in charlotte there's a president coming down the stairs of air force one right now in charlotte north carolina where the republican convention has begun mike pence was speaking just a short time ago from charlotte and the g.o.p. the grand old party the republican party has officially nominated for vice president what do we expect to happen in the next 4 days. well i was just checking to see if my parents were still talking because the interrupted the

process of nominating donald trump cholo the vice president to speak is odd that he would show up on the farce morning to address delegates in paris and he's also going to speak in prime time on wednesday donald trump we're expecting what's from him he's going to north carolina to say hi to the delegates as well and of course he will be in primetime as well this will be a completely different convention different from what you saw last week but also different from republican conventions that you've seen in the past not least the title of it it's called trump 2020 the g.o.p. convention as you see the grand old party and american shorthand for the republican party donald trump well we're going to see him every single night of the week that the program is still changing we were told that he probably speak every night of the week that he'd make a contribution every night of the week or no being told he will appear every night of the week he might not necessarily speak but as someone pointed out hey this is donald trump one of the chances of i'm not speaking so it's going to be completely

different you can see that from the rule call of the states you remember that the democrats put up the this very polished tape from every single state and it was all done remotely here there are some people doing it and person i'm hearing big cheers that might well be that donald trump is no over the limit and there's no officially the republican nominee but the you see this is going to be a different sort of convention that they're going to speak to ordinary americans whose lives have been improved by donald trump and of course there is the big speech from the president himself on thursday in a primetime unusually not at the convention but here at the white house yeah the president motorcade leaving now at the airport then charlotte as we look at those live pictures tell us about that line up and said a lot of the trump family trump family members speaking during this convention also kellyanne conway outram senior adviser it was initially in the lineup but she's

stepping aside from my role as a senior advisor tell us more about that any is she still going to be speaking. she is she's confirmed at an event here at the white house just in the last though she still intends to speak she of course was donald trump's campaign manager when they won the election 4 years ago she's been a senior advisor since then she has decided to step away to deal with family issues interestingly enough her husband george conway who is a republican lawyer who's been a fierce critic of donald trump on twitter he announced at the weekend he was stepping away from twitter clearly to deal with that yes there's going to be a number of family members who are going to be speaking might prompt unusually a serving secretary of state will address a political convention he will do that from jerusalem where he's currently there on official business we are told that the republican party will pay for all of the costs and it all comes as some senior republicans announce that they will not be voting for donald trump they will in fact be voting for joe biden this is going to

be a very interesting 4 days and i will be looking forward to talking to you about everything that's happening there of course these next 4 days here on al-jazeera alan fischer live for us a at the white house while democrats are concerned about trump's attack on mail in voting and right now they're questioning the head of the u.s. postal service on capitol hill joy who is a lie is being asked by house committee whether his changes will delay the delivery of post or ballots the president has said mail in voting will cause voter fraud without proving evidence is voting by mail himself in the recent florida primary castro is following developments on capitol hill for us joins us now live so has the postmaster general said anything different than what he said before the senate panel on friday. so he has had to be more on the defensive today because of those assurances that he gave last week saying that he would have every

ballot would be delivered in time to be counted if that had worked he wouldn't be facing the accusations. from democrats on this house oversight committee we heard gasps in the room when one of those congressman jim cooper of tennessee asked joy whether he was expecting a presidential pardon like other trump cronies for what cooper said is the felony of deliberately delaying the mail now joy seemed to be taken aback by that question he said he resented it but that he otherwise had no comment he's been presenting himself as a professional saying he's only been on this job as u.s. postmaster general for months and that many of these operational cuts predated his tenure however he was clear today as he was last week that he does not plan to reinstate any of the mail sorting equipment or the boxes that have already been removed now on saturday the house voted to pass a bill that would restrict to join the post office from implementing any of these

further changes until after the pandemic 26 republicans did join democrats on that yes vote but today we see the republicans on this panel bigger illicitly defending the joy saying that it's the democrats who are unfairly attacking to joy for their partisan gain heidi and donald trump has just been formally nominated as president for candidate rather for the republican party. the convention in charlotte north carolina way has just arrived the nomination process there is complete it's official his their candidate the u.s. of course is expecting a surge in mail in ballots in november how big are the stakes in terms of the elections integrity. well we know certainly trump is busy at the moment but he has been paying close attention to these investigations of the u.s. postal service last night on the eve of these hearings today he tweeted that the

greatest election fraud in our history is about to happen referring to the november elections and the big picture here is president trump is teeing up that if he were to lose this election by a close margin he's unlikely to accept that and we are expecting millions of americans to vote by mail for the 1st time ever for this hotly contested white house race where only a few 1000 votes in key swing states could determine the outcome and we know for example if you look at the state of michigan in 2016 president trump won by just about 10000 votes there the washington post just sit in alice is saying that michigan this year alone for the primaries to route about 10000 mail in ballots because of technical issues including delayed delivery by the post office so that has these voting rights groups and democrats very concerned that what the problems we saw in the primary well levy amplified by tens of times in the upcoming general

election with the results of the action in jeopardy especially with a president who has already said he likely would refuse to accept it if he were to lose thank you very much for that live for us on capitol hill on the day that president trump has been nominated for president at the day one of the republican national convention in charlotte north carolina the president arriving in charlotte just a few moments ago he will be speaking and addressing the convention later on after being formally nominated for president. now among the speakers at the republican convention on tuesday as. we mentioned earlier is mike palm pale it's very unusual for a sitting secretary of state to take part in a political event and he'll be speaking for mr elway is promoting the u.s. brokered deal between israel and the u.a.e. to normalize ties i want to come here today in part to congratulate the prime minister will travel to the emirates to meet with them and congratulate them to
