7:02 pm
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 got shit that is not so who is what makes him such a for medical photo the kremlin well back in the 2011 the man challenging lattimer putin's rule at a wave of protests against the president and his party have on the ass 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
7:03 pm
been arrested before the protests even began and is now charged as he has been many times before with organizing an illegal protest by the 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 in there arrested me now i look like an idiot in shorts in the police station but that's how it is sorry your children you. for years russia's government has known the impact 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 the value far exceeds the official income of the russian president the kremlin really react to these
7:04 pm
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 correspondent only sure and now she joins us from the russian capital of moscow emily what do we know about alexina bally'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
7:05 pm
it legit 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 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 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
7:06 pm
as they said then they sent that 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 7 or 10 days that 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. from

began over a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to mainland china for trial the bill was shelved but protesters have not backed down that calling for the resignation of hong kong leader carry lamb and for greater autonomy. for the comments from beijing do not appear to have eased the tension. we wish beijing officials will truly try to understand what hong kong people really want what happened in beijing today and this often would actually help fan the fall of what's already been a tsunami of protest in hong kong. what began as peaceful demonstrations have turned increasingly violent with more protests planned and beijing standing firm behind hong kong's lead to a resolution seems a long way off. now to
