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. you cannot shoot that is not. what makes alexina vali such a for medical forward to the criminal back in 2011 the man challenging lattimer putin's rule at a wave of protests against the president and his party they've only spent numerous periods in jail for allegedly disturbing public order and leading unsanctioned protests. 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 sure you know my biggest i had gone out for a jog and to buy my wife flowers for her birthday yulia high happy birthday by the entrance there was a small bus of russian special forces in there arrested me now i look like an idiot in shorts in the police station but that's how it is so are you chills when you. so years russia's government has known the impact of the could have as a fierce outspoken critic of the kremlin. novelli 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 their 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 correspondents and we sure in and now she joins us from the russian capital of moscow emily what do we know about alexina valley's condition. well a we've had contradicting accounts of. these health all day we just heard from alex and i'm 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

touched they say that his condition has improved that's why that 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 unrest 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 authours these 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 by 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 then they sent out a 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 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 author already 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. and we sure are 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 social media captured scenes of panic when shots rang out at the gilroy garlic festival police shot no alleged gunman and are looking for a possible 2nd. in bangladesh over 1000 people have been diagnosed with potentially deadly day gave fever all the country's suffering its worst ever outbreak of the disease with 8 people dead so far and over 13000 cases reported local media say the number of victims may be even much higher. and

track her son was fatally hit by an incoming high speed train. to food security to the main suspect a 5 year old man fled the scene and some eyewitnesses are party. this to us we 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 what you might have done it gets you will never let us get on happening relate occur in arkansas for a while a clear motive hasn't been established police and prosecution are working on an early theory big enough to acknowledge 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 it's on monday morning now the mother did manage to escape that on coming 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 that 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 a whole civil 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 is still working to get to the bottom of any possible motive worth mentioning is what they've tragedy really is being taken very seriously here in germany close to home for as i mentioned the interior minister here he is 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 tuesday following those talks over a kid 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 dozen at least appear to be any link between the sun 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 passers by as well at frankfurt train station who managed to chase him down and help police to capture him truly terrifying story there are keep reporting thank you. you're watching the news still a to come. colombia 6 goes crazy for its new heroes cyclist burnout became the 1st colombian to ever win the tour de france will bring you all the reaction from his hometown including a very very proud grandpa. but 1st 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 antigovernment protesters the chinese central government blames the turbulence in hong kong on what it calls irresponsible forces in the west attempting to stop china's development on 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 spokesman had to say. you leave shinee as 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 without syria motives have been scaremongering based on these doubts to stoke public panic and obstruct the adoption of the bill. now from hong kong didn't we

a correspondent and mathias bellinger told us where things stand right now after that intense clashes those intense clashes rather 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 to 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 brought 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 is just over there on the corner so. if this was an escalation that was an escalation from the side of

the police who were 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 objects to attack the police and this speaks of course of something underlying the divide in society the that the discontent with this government by the parts of society and especially by the more radical protesters is growing we are going to see this continue. 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 all more than 100000 asian tigers room the earth back in 1800 today few were. then 4000 remain

while the reasons unsurprising tigers used to live in these areas marked in a grew remain as you can see here right behind me but as human populations groups 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 poaching that poses the most immediate threat every tiger apart from whisker to tail is still being treated in a 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 increase its siberian tiger population by introducing tougher punishments for

illegal hunting and trafficking others 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 job 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 for. the numbers of 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 so low so we don't get excited i think what what is the big difference i think in india and we have the trees that are showing the increase of the numbers of course supporting and address importing and increasing production is one of the we think

there's a better but i think also very very shortly what you'll find in the countries where there is and you know. it's a ghost and stable population of taylor's is due major factors one of the political will and you may have noticed that for india the tiger numbers were announced by none other than the prime minister of india this shows the has level of political commitment and i think whether it's little commitment for that mission this is where it's at seems the other very important factor in increasing data numbers are stabilizing the numbers and succeeding in data production and conservation is also the support of the people and again you will see in india that unless people supported an 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 that it. is the political will i think that is the fundamental commitment from that though when it comes out

and goes it's 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 what kind of you are saying you know that national animal be it was and serve it but in addition to that you know protecting tigers protect so much more it could accept habitats of protect forests protect water resources to protect the ports the systems and the service is the right so i think you should look at this just as you know protection but it's actually a protection of the future of the country in many ways and especially like india where you know natural resources that's all stressed and we're grappling with things like lake water and traces of water out of protecting tigers also protects

their habitats which includes protection of the listeners for people so i think we need to look at tigers as an iconic and limited species of protecting the future of our country kerry made a very convincing case there dr said salvor of the world wildlife fund thank you for joining us on the show thank you. next fortnight is a wildly popular video game that is played by hundreds of millions of people worldwide well now it has a 1st ever world champion the new york city fortnight or world cup in new york this weekend with 61 year old kyle gear start taking home the top prize of get this in iraq $33000000.00 while the american gamer known as it was one of many players from around the world competing in a packed stadium that otherwise host the u.s. open tennis tournaments. not bad at all due to

build bases you can find weapons you see a bit of the game here and you fight until there's only one player left standing now this was a lot of money would put that in perspective leyla it's even a lot when you talk about traditional sporting tournaments $3000000.00 now the winners of the u.s. open which will be held in that exact stadium and next month. they'll take home just under $4000000.00 so this is basically serena williams money going to the. internet is unbelievable where he earned it. so is this is just a one time phenomenon or sports going mainstream basically i think it is going mainstream especially if you look at the bottom line i mean in terms of money professional videogame competitions like this one globally will take in 1000000000 dollars this year alone the maker of fortnight is called epic games they had a profit of 3000000000 dollars last year so they can afford to throw out a few 1000000 here and there for one of these tournaments right now e-sports i

don't think they're ready to compete with the n.f.l. champions league soccer big time sports like that but they're not trying to do that i mean they're aiming directly at these teenagers a younger audience that already isn't watching the traditional sports as much they want to stream their sports they want something that moves fast that they relate to that's the market that they're going for and they are very successful at that so what would you tell all those parents who tell their kids to get off the computer that's the question right you should be doing your homework you should be in school right i mean that might be a bit harder for parents to say now that hey boo goes a millionaire right like that's that's the thing here you know here's one example actually of that exact conundrum so we're looking now at a picture of the 2nd place finisher in the team's competition a fortnight jaden ashman he's 15 years old you see his mother next to him she says she's a hard time accepting this whole eat sports thing she actually threw out his x. box of a certain point to get him to focus on homework now he's a 15 year old millionaire he took over took home more than $1000000.00 jaden like
