this is the w.'s live from berlin russian opposition leader alexina vali is discharged from hospital what put him there in the 1st place while his doctor claims he was poisoned with a toxic agent of all these now back in detention after suffering from an undiagnosed illness also coming up an 8 year old boy is pushed onto the tracks struck and killed by a train at frankfurt's main station a suspect is being questioned by police plus china condemns the antigovernment protests in hong kong all that comes after another weekend of clashes between

demonstrators and police in the territory beijing calls on the people of hong kong to oppose the violence. and live our thank you so much for your company everyone a russia's most prominent opposition leader alexina vali is back in prison he was hospitalized after contracting a mystery illness in a moscow jail but of all these doctor has objected to him being discharged she believes president vladimir putin's a leading critic may have been poisoned and says that his illness remains undiagnosed avali was rushed to the hospital over the weekend after his face swelled up and his skin turned red here's what his doctor had to say after he was sent back to jail. he was poisoned by some sort of unknown chemical substance

so it's unclear whether what he has is contact dermatitis or not but he was in a life threatening condition and now they are sending him back to the same place where that same toxic chemical substance might be again and this 2nd exposure to whatever it was could have serious consequences for his health but that is why i am categorically against what is happening the patient should be under medical observation at a hospital this was a chemical substance even the doctors here have admitted that. even if she had that is not of all these personal doctor there who is alexina of all the and what makes him the kremlin's most formidable foe back in 2011 the man challenging of lattimer putin's roulette a wave of protests against the president and his party now vali has spent numerous numerous periods in jail for disturbing public order and for leading unsanctioned protests he has more on the man. after taking to the streets demanding

free local elections and an open democracy protesters in moscow now face the threat of prison sentences the same goes for their leader alexei navalny he had been arrested before the protests even began and is now charged as he has been many times before with organizing an illegal protest. our biggest i had gone out for a jog and to buy my wife flowers for her birthday happy birthday by the entrance there was a small bus of russian special forces and they arrested me now i look like an idiot in shorts in the police station but that's how it is. for years russia's government has known the impact could have as a fierce outspoken critic of the kremlin. only refers to himself as a nationalist democrat in recent years however fighting corruption and nepotism in russia has become his priority. this video from 2016 shows

several properties which allegedly belong to vladimir putin the value far exceeds the official income of the russian president the kremlin rarely react to these accusations but nevertheless he is repeatedly caught in the crosshairs of the russian justice department time and again his efforts to organize against the kremlin have seen him and up behind bars in total he has spent 5 months of his life in russia's prisons. all right let's bring in our correspondence only sharon and now she joins us from the russian capital of moscow emily what do we know about alexina bellamy's condition well a we've had contradicting accounts of. these health all day we just heard from alex they now find these doctor who said that he had been poisoned and that he really shouldn't be sent back to detention on the other hand the doctors at the hospital where he was being treated diagnosed him with what they said was contact

dermatitis which is basically a rash that you get when your skin reacts allergic lead to something that you've touched they say that his condition has improved that's why they said that's why they sent him back and when one of the doctors today was asked by journalists about an alleged poison she said that that had not been proven so it's really hard to know what his condition at the moment really is and how serious it is now this all happening of course in the backdrop almost unprecedented wave of public on rest that has erupted in moscow how concerned are authorities by these recent events. well that's right there have been several weeks actually of protests ongoing protests over these upcoming moscow parliamentary elections and i think also worries seem to be very concerned ahead of the un authorized protests that we saw on saturday there were very strong warning signals to the opposition several candidates offices and how apartments were searched there were arrests made

including of aleksei now behind me there were warnings from the mayor and from the police to protesters not to come out as the protests on saturday could be dangerous as they said and they sent out very clear signal with all those arrests over a 1000 on saturday but the opposition is still saying that they want to come out next week and rally again and we may be seeing today now the beginnings of a new crackdown several of the candidates who were arrested on saturday were released and they're now being arrested and that includes prominent figures such as . a prominent opposition figure here conveniently if those people are behind bars that means for the next 10 or 77 or 10 days it as is as is the case it seems that means that some of the protest leaders could be off the streets this coming saturday which could be convenient for the authorities they don't want this to happen again what happened on saturday especially because the world is watching

german officials government officials have voiced their concern over the arrests that happened on saturday and of calls for people behind bars to be released. reporting from moscow thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 3 people are dead and 15 injured after a gunman opened fire on a food festival in northern california on sunday all social media captured scenes of panic as attendees scattered when shots rang out at the gilroy garlic festival police have shot an alleged gunman and are looking for a possible 2nd. an attack blamed own boko haram militants has left 65 people dead in nigeria while the attack took place over the weekend in a village in borno state in the north east of the country the victims were attending a funeral when they were gunned down by

the platform by a man who fled the scene but passers by caught the suspect and he's now being questioned by police. several platforms at frankfurt central station have been closed. while the. 40 year old mother was able to get off the track her son was fatally hit by an incoming high speed train. to secure the main suspect a 40 year old man fled the scene and some eyewitnesses are part of this to us you were able to track him down with the help of civilians and he was detained near the station he's currently being questions about the incident and his motives at the moment i can't say why you might have done it what about suing over matters katon happening later kind of for a while a clear motive hasn't been established police and prosecution are working on an early theory. right now we believe the 2 parties did not know each other that there was no relationship between the victims and the perpetrator so we're still unsure

about a possible motive as well as questioning the suspect the police are working with eyewitnesses to gather more information the mother is being treated in hospital. and i'm now joined by our correspondent kit britt who is tracking this story very closely for you were ok tell us exactly what happened. well what we know so far is that a 40 year old mother and her son were both pushed onto the tracks in frankfurt train station in southwestern germany earlier today that on monday morning now the mother did manage to escape that oncoming over the incoming high speed train into frankfurt train station 8 year old son on the other hand unfortunately wasn't able to escape and was hit by the train and died of those fatal injuries caused by being run over by that train now as far as way where the mother and son were actually

pushed in front of the train by a 40 year old suspect who is now being questioned by police at the moment there's no sign of of a motive but the whole city hall for the german interior minister has already spoken now as well and said that they will the german authorities will get to the bottom of what he described as a humorous crime and authorities are still working to get to the bottom of any possible motive worth mentioning as well tragedy really is being taken very seriously here in germany post the whole 1st i mentioned the interior minister here he has actually now announced that he's broken off his holiday to actually speak to german security. and he would is actually expected to speak to the press tomorrow on chuse day following those talks i can't what more do we know about the victim's mother and son. well all we know so far is that she was 40 years old or is

40 years old and is currently being treated in hospital and police have also been questioning her and her 8 year old son unfortunately as we've mentioned passed away after being hit by that incoming high speed train now so far. have said that that isn't the doesn't at least appear to be any link between the son and mother and the sister and the suspects and we also know now as well that the suspect reportedly tried to push a 3rd person onto the tracks as well as he tried to flee the scene but he was then later caught by police before he was taken into custody and that was thanks to the help of some passes by as well at frankfurt train station who managed to chase him down and help police to capture him truly terrifying story there are reporting thank you. china has held

a rare news conference to address the ongoing unrest in hong kong it comes after another weekend of clashes between police and government protesters well the chinese central government blames the turbulence in hong kong on what it calls it worst possible forces in the west attempting to stop trying as development while the protests originally started in opposition to a bill that could see hong kong defendants extradited to mainland china for trial here's what beijing's spokesman had to say you leave bush was younger i was quite a few hong kong residents know little about the situation on the mainland and its legal and judicial systems they may have doubts about the proposed amendments so some individuals and media organizations with syria motives have been scaremongering based on these doubts to stoke public panic and obstruct the adoption of the bill. from hong kong did every

correspondence of mathias billing or told us where things stand after the intense clashes between police and demonstrators over the weekend take a listen. remnants of the yesterday's clashes have been quickly cleared you can see maybe it's obstructed now by this car over there but with some places they are rebuilding the pavement because protesters have taken out bricks but that's pretty much the only damage that we see after these protests these were really clashes between people between the police and the protesters we have seen enormous amounts of tear gas fired there were clouds around all these places the place where i'm standing now is one of the one of the centers where all these clashes have happened the metro station that we just saw in these pictures this is just over there on the corner so. this was an escalation that was an escalation from the side of the police who early on and it big amounts using tear gas

rubber bullets than before and we've also seen an escalation from the side of the protesters who are now more willing to use. metal rods and other hot objects to attack the police and this speaks of course of something underlying the divide in society the discontent with this government by big parts of society and especially by the more radical protesters is growing we are going to see this continue trying to get these materials spending a reporting for us in hong kong thank you for that insight. and all right after nearly 2 decades of conflict the people of afghanistan are still struggling to find stability children at school have never known peace so life has never been easy for them but one school in the bomb young region is beating the odds. charbonneau and her classmates have been walking for an hour and

a half already their route to school involves negotiating a rough and steep mountain a spats but it's the only school in the area doesn't mike that i have to walk a long way every morning but i know hi lucky we are out in the country there are a lot of children who have no chance of going to school. that it's the end of the school year and they're taking their exams the boys and girls are outside so no one can copy from anyone else the classrooms are far too small so how many are going to pass the exams so. i'm sure that they are all going to pass their exams. but. the pass rates are high here although the standards are no lower than elsewhere and they've been achieved in a school a long way from any large cities and surrounded by mountains it's a place where getting an education leading to a good job might seem

a distant dream the younger students can stay inside to escape the heat there's no electricity here no heating in winter no photocopier and they can only dream of computers so how to 90 percent of students here make it to college. because everyone sticks together here well if we had heavy rain the roof was leaking or the parents donated money although they hardly had any themselves after that we could repair the roof. shards home a small farm with a little land and a cow sars mother and father are proud of or they never had the chance to learn basic literacy skills and they could use help on the farm. i can't read or write. i never saw a school from the inside i want my children to have it better than i or my wife did

. education is only one of many problems afghans face in this remote part of the country only 5 percent of parents here can read and write and shahar school boys and girls learn together that the rector says it makes no difference. they are equally intelligent. the school day comes to an end the children face another 2 hour walk home over difficult terrain at least there's one less threat here the taliban have avoided balmier on the open mindedness of both the headmaster and the parents isn't taken for granted but being seen as a model the rest of afghanistan could follow. now today is international day of the tiger but the situation facing tigers worldwide is grim populations have plummeted in the last 100 years leaving the big cats on the brink of extinction on more than 100000 asian tigers room the earth back in 1800 today fewer than

4000 remain while the reasons are not surprising tigers used to live in these areas marked in a grew remain as you can see here right behind me but as human populations group so that people's need for space well we have now wiped out some 95 percent 95 percent of tiger habitat leaving only the areas marked in red that is a stark reduction that you see right behind me where climate change hasn't helped either as rising sea levels destroyed habitat in india and bangladesh but experts say it's poaching that poses the most immediate threat every tiger part from whisker to tail is still being treated in the legal markets there is some good news for you though a number of countries have begun to take aggressive measures to fight coaching and protect the big cats and it's having an effect russia for example has managed to steadily increase its siberian tiger population by introducing tougher punishments

for illegal hunting and trafficking other success stories include nepal and india which today announced that it has significantly increased its tiger population in a recent a year so some good news there let's talk more about it with dr said joe war of the world wildlife fund a very good day doctor so good to have you with us what are these big countries doing right and what can small countries learn from their initiatives. thank you pleasure to be on your show or today was an exciting day or 4 in the air because the numbers that diagnosed were announced on the last estimation and you know we did see a significant difference in the data going to us from the previous estimation solo so we're all excited i think what what is the big difference i think in india and we have the countries that are showing their increases that are going on because of

course supporting and addressing importing and increasing production is one of the key thinkers in terms of that but i think also already very fortunately what you'll find in the countries where there is you know a good story goes and stable population of terrorists is due major factors one of the political will and you may have noticed that for india to take the numbers that were announced by none other than the prime minister of india this shows the has level of political commitment and i think whether theological commitments one submission this is what it seems the other very important factor in increasing total numbers are stabilizing the numbers and succeeding in total production and conservation is also the support of the people and again we will see in the countries like india that are less people supported on that issue it's going to be very hard to and so i think these are factors that in addition to protection and peace and. you know today. is the political will i think that is the

fundamental commitment from that though when it goes in now of course tigers are very majestic and beautiful animals but they're also very dangerous why should we want to make sure that their population increases. so you know tigers are are an iconic species and for countries like india they're also on rations so it's important just strong but what kind of you are saying you know that national animal the muslims of it but in addition to that you know protecting tigers protect so much more it could accept habitats attacked forests protect water resources to protect it was distance and so this is the right so i think we should look at this just as you know protection goes but it's actually protection of the future of the country in many ways and especially boundaries like india where you know natural resource that's all stressed and yet we're grappling with things like

water and traces of water connecting tigers also protects them and that she is protection of many services for people so i think we need to look at tigers as an iconic and limited species of protecting the future of our country's area you made a very convincing case there doctor said job or of the world wildlife fund thank you for joining us on the show thank you now or to sports because in cycling number now has made history by becoming the 1st writer from colombia to win the tour de france but now success has made him an instant hero back home especially in his hometown where fans have been celebrating his historic victory. park you go 42 kilometers from the capital bogota is where you got bernard grew up at an altitude of nearly 3000 meters it was the ideal training ground for the mountain specialist bernard 1st coach didn't expect the
