this is g.w. news live from berlin tonight the russian opposition leader alexina all day discharged from the hospital but what made him sick is doctors says that he was poisoned but we don't know with what at all and he is now back in prison is he out of danger we'll ask someone who works with them also coming up tonight a horrific scene an 8 year old boy pushed on to train tracks struck and killed by a train at frankfurt's main station a suspect is being questioned by police and in china condemning the anti-government

protest in hong kong after another weekend of clashes between demonstrators and police. was the wildly popular video game fortnight played by millions worldwide it has its 1st ever world champion the 16 year old american winner trial with years still gets more than a trophy he wants away with a cool 3 $1000000.00. if it's good to have you with the russia's most prominent opposition leader of all the is back in prison after being rushed to the hospital yesterday for what his doctors say was an apparent poisoning in the bonis attorney says that a chemical agent was used to poison. her client but that has not been confirmed and

of all the as one of president vladimir putin's harshest critics he is serving a prison sentence for calling for unauthorized political protests. and likely no validly on his way back to prison one of russia's most prominent opposition figures he was rushed to hospital on sunday after taking ill in his detention cell clinic doctors say in a valley had a severe allergic reaction but his personal doctor isn't convinced speaking to the press she said her client was poisoned and warned he could be in danger if he returns to prison. when you bring up the human. believe you'll get it 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 a 2nd exposure to whatever it was could have serious consequences for his health he

was. in a valley was arrested just days before a number of unauthorised public protests sent thousands to the streets of the russian capital he tried to make light of his arrest her 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 bust 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 so you will see new. he now rejoined some 1400 people who were also to taint during last week's demonstrations which saw some 20000 people protest the exclusion of dozens of opposition candidates from local elections. the european union criticized the excessive force used by police during the protests saying it undermined the right to freedom of assembly. last weekend's mobilisation was just the latest in

a wave of popular dissent to grip the russian capital this year and not likely to be the last organizers have already called for fresh demonstrations next weekend and russian authorities have already started to detain key opposition figures. well i'm joined tonight by nikita a member of the anti corruption foundation that's an injury or that was founded by a leg see in the heat is going to have you on the program let me start by asking you have you or your get his asian have you had any contact with mr novel. well we have the quantity but this conduct is limited it's like there is no cell phone in the prison cell so we can talk we have we can get information from him when someone from the foundation isn't the detention center so it's like it's a limited contact and this was the problem we have here is sickness on saturday

because it's not at all says that. he's right if you look came to him some day and surprisingly just comment that he has a problem and that he's going to be taken to the oil spill and so on so this is the 1st suspicious thing in this whole situation that they did not want the authorities did not want to tell what do you know happened what are you but what do you know about his condition i mean do you and you've been told that he was indeed poisoned . well no and he. just as you said that he's now sent back to the general sense and well at that moment he feels that this is what he can say. i was given the strong steroids against elegy him so i don't have the face which is i don't know if that that was correct which is bigger than usual so and like i more or less fine but. again as he

is to say that and as i think many many suspicious poisoning haven't with those who criticise criminal or you can't be sure. it's not a poison and then. sent back saying self maybe he's going to be contacting this so what whatever it was what are you worried about that and nikita i mean if it was poisoning then the poisoning would have occurred in prison where he is and he's been sent back to that same location so are you are you concerned that he could be poisoned again. well if it was like some accidental on to something not there a sense eric in the prison yes this is the problem even if he was poisoned then well it's a strange way of always eating while he's in the prison because it's like you're.

easy to find or easy to blame on the prison or the guts but like. i remember when the although it was a good lead to mcadams i was poison for the 1st time we discussed an extent he said you know well maybe he ate something something wrong and just got some energy but then. several months later he was poisoned again we thought oh yes he seems that they're trying to do something that's so even in this situation like looks like it's analogy and i didn't say he's like his last words on his last message like he's skeptical that it's a poison any but. it's like the background is like that's it's going to be like what this is what he says is well beyond the poisoning he is not the only member of your foundation to be arrested we've just received word that you vonne saddam of another one of your coworkers that he has been arrested do you think that the

police are singling you out. well. apart from in addition to all of. the other colleague let your mil off is also i rested as far as i know come late so and some of the several other people who are like supporting us but not working derek are also under arrest since last week morning. so they're under the gun not learn not only alex you know. and this is the tactic that the authorities are using for for the last year and a half like their arrest key members of our team from time to time like to see so spence i got one for you 0 here in this prison sounds your to the short address so hits yeah it disturbs our work. force are afraid about

artists. they are trying to prevent. nikita take off within anti-corruption a foundation that's an inch year that was founded by alexina boldly and he we appreciate your time tonight thank you. thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines in the scottish 1st minister nicola sturgeon says the u.k. appears to be heading for an inevitable new deal writes it after meeting britain's new prime minister boris johnson she says breaks it would affect plans for a new referendum on scottish independence a majority of scots voted to remain in the european union brazilian authorities say more than 50 people have died during a prison riot in the north of the country officials say that brutal fighting erupted between rival chemical groups or criminal groups at the all time your a prison in paris states the death toll may still rise sudanese citizens have taken

to the streets of the capital khartoum after 4 high school students were shot dead during a protest the country's main opposition group has called for more demonstrations against the military government now this comes just weeks after the opposition and the military agreed to an outline of a power sharing agreement. now to a tragic story here in germany and 8 year old boy died when he was pushed on to the train tracks and struck by an incoming train at frankfurt's main station the boy and his mother were both pushed from the platform by a man who fled the scene but bystanders they call the suspect that suspect has been questioned by police. the attack met with widespread horror across germany. 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 if i.c.l. men fled the scene and some eyewitnesses are part of this to us we were able to track him down with the help of subversion hands and he was detained near the station he is currently being questions about the incident and his motives and at the moment a console. why you might have done it some of the votes you will not want us to time happening related kind of for a while a clear motive has not been established police and prosecution are working on an early theory beginning 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. people in frankfurt are appalled. by i'm so sorry for the woman the child the bystanders and of course the driver of the train. and i have 3 children myself and the 1st thing i thought was how my daughter is the same age my feeling is indescribable i just can't understand how somebody

could do something like this. besides questioning the suspects police are working with eyewitnesses together more information the mother is being treated in a hospital. and she is following the story for. i mean this is this is a horrific story what more do we know. well we know now that the police have actually launched a murder probe and the latest now is that hosts the hoffa germany's interior minister has actually now broken off his some a vacation to actually meet with some of germany's top security chiefs this evening to discuss what the interior ministry described as several serious crimes that have happened recently of course we had a similar incident like this one here in germany i'm a little more north from frank that just under 2 weeks ago and

a 34 year old mother that was also pushed onto the tracks and she was hit by an incoming regional train and also sadly died now because this is being taken very seriously as i say the interior minister will be meeting with germany's top security chiefs and we're expecting to him more from him on tuesday what do we know about the suspect that police of question well we know sorry for these from the police and from that questioning that the victim in the perpetrator don't appear to have known each other before the incident but we know so far that the suspect is a 40 year old man who is from eritrea that's a fact that particularly followed by politicians far right commentators of already jumped on particularly on social media using that to fuel their argument in germany's very much on going migration debates of course that's something as well

that the german interior ministry will be keen to make sure that that doesn't also boil over once again but for now as i say most of the places will be getting will be to more now on tuesday and that will be from the interior minister hosts a hope that once he's spoken with those security officials this evening. his tragic story tonight kate thank you. the chinese government has held a rare news conference to condemn the ongoing unrest in hong kong it comes after another weekend of clashes between police and anti-government protesters china has called the turbulence horrendous incidents seriously damaged the rule of law beijing also reaffirming its backing of hong kong's chief executive kerry for scenes of street protests like this are becoming more and more frequent after an 8 consecutive weekend of demonstrations in hong kong beijing responded with the rest

statement. young don't get used to that the recent developments in hong kong especially the acts of violence by a small number of radical activists have seriously undermined the territories prosperity and stability and challenge the rule of law and public order yet the lives and property of hong kong residents are under threat. paging adds that the protests violate the principle of one country 2 systems the marches 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 their calling for the resignation of hong kong leader kerry and for greater autonomy. 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 and hong kong. what to ghana's peaceful demonstrations have turned increasingly violent. with protests planned and beijing standing firm behind hong kong leda a resolution seems a long way off. well from hong kong the w. correspondent told us where things stand after the intense clashes between police and demonstrators over the weekend. 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 all the breaks 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 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. and that was what he is building there reporting from hong kong 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 bombing region well it appears to be 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 it doesn't much that i have to walk a long way every morning but i know high lucky we are right 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 that. 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 once we had heavy rain the roof was leaking

the parents donated money although they hardly had any themselves after that we could repair the roof. shot home a small farm with a little land and a cow so hard mother and father are proud of her 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 director 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. 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. through now. you have heard of it i'll tell you what it is it's a wildly popular video game that is played by hundreds of millions of people worldwide now it has its 1st ever world champion there is new york hosted the world cup in new york this weekend with 16 year old worth taking home the top prize of $3000000.00 the american game where he was known as boga was one of many players from around the world competing in a packed stadium that usually hosts the u.s. open tennis tournaments. social media editor colin assman joins me here now in the studio to talk about this rich booga yes. 3000000 e's a millionaire and he's

a teenager. just looking at this entire part of the pot of money there this is the largest prize pool ever for any sports tournament. i think in many ways you know they call this a world cup a fortnight this was all about marketing this was making a statement that fortnight that that e-sports big deal and that they're here to stay i mean take a look at what this tournament was all about this had everything that a traditional sporting event has a huge stadium you have tens of thousands of people watching scores of competitors live announcers the whole. fans watching all over the world to in fact 9000000 people well streamed the event live on you tube just on the last day of the event for tonight if you don't know what it is this is a video game it's known as a battle wall yell so you have $100.00 players fighting it out on an iowa. you see a bit of it here you can build bases you collect weapons and at the end of the winner is the last person standing let's talk about the money though so to put this

in perspective. when you talk about you know traditional sports in $3000000.00 what the winner got that is a lot of money for the winners of the u.s. open tennis tournament which will happen in the exact same stadium next month and they take home just under $4000000.00 each so this is basically serena williams kind of money here will buy dances he major made that's the same amount of money to where the total prize pool is what 32 really 1000000 yeah i mean so is this award time thing or is this you know if you just get used to it i think you should get used to them in a special look at the bottom line brad globally professional video game competitions are set to rake in 1000000000 dollars this year if you look at the maker of fortnight they're called epic games they made $3000000000.30 in profit last year so they can afford to hand out a few 1000000 here and there and in these kind of tournaments you know e-sports they're not ready to compete with the n.f.l. with champions league soccer but that's not really the point that's not their

competition they're going after the younger viewers they want the short attention spans they want the kids they want people that want to sit there and watch a video game something that they will happen to look at faster that's their audience they're doing very well it's hard getting those teenagers and so you've got some kids a whole. bunch of the parents feel well that's a good question isn't i mean the 1st reaction from parents shouldn't be in school we should work on your homework right well it's a little bit harder to say that when when your kid can say well look at the boo go he's a millionaire i mean here's one example of exactly that's happening this is the 2nd place winner his name is jaden ashman he's 15 years old he sees mom there next to him the mom says she's a hard time accepting this whole e-sports thing she actually threw his x. box out the window at a certain point she said you need to focus on your homework well now the 15 year old is. basically set for life and jaden here as an example he's like a lot of these teenage gamers he played for every day since it was released in 2017

he says he practices 8 hours a day reality check the rights of 40. minutes of qualify for this only 100 it is not the golden take it this is a program that's like kids who play sports in high school how many of those how many they can make the n.b.a. exactly not so much you know thank you in the capital of a football tournament kicked off on sunday that aims to give homeless people a boost of confidence 500 competitors from around the world are representing their nations in the 17th homeless world cup. the $500.00 players competing in the homeless world cup do so in a spirit of sportsmanship and cooperation. this tournament off the room to schools are of secondary importance. to the world but we are. in a way that it should be. about the way. you are absolutely. the
