w chief international editor richard walker has the latest welcome richard what else of a doctor say. here well phil i mean we were talking about this just before this statement came out just saying about how careful of course the doctors would be making a statement that could be so sort of politically explosive as this and i think what's really most striking about the statement is just how sure they appear to be about their findings so off to really just a short time 2 days of examining this enough they say that in multiple tests in independent laboratories they have confirmed this effect of this substance on these body now they don't know what the substance exactly is yet but they can see the effect of it and this leads them with strong confidence evidently to say that it looks like this is a poisoning now just compare that to what the russian hospital was saying of the last few days before he was finally released to come to germany where they were
6:03 pm
saying they could find no trace of poisoning i think it becomes easier to understand just why family was so keen to get him out of the country now the hospital says that his life is not in immediate danger as you just mentioned he is being treated with a substance called atropine which is the appropriate treatment for this kind of thing and that his life is not in immediate danger but they say they could be really long term effect city on his nervous system so this story is far from over the security of the hospital is tied to do german authorities still think there is that his life is in danger. you know well i'm glad merkel spokesperson was speaking about this earlier and he was quite blunt about it really i mean he said rather wryly that there have been one or 2 examples of such poisonings in recent russian history and here in berlin memory is fresh of a really dramatic incident just last year where russia is accused of involvement in an s. acid nation here in the city so prosecutors here in germany think that russia gave
6:04 pm
the order to kill a kremlin critic in broad daylight shooting him in a city center. so so i think this kind of goes to stress just how little trust there is at the moment here in germany towards the russian authorities and i think that is one reason that security is so tight and so visible around the valley it's not the german doctors have come to this can conclusion is that conclusion likely to affect the way the german government responds to this case. well i think that remains to be seen but what we have had over the last few days is many politicians coming out and saying that russia is simply is simply not respecting the rules of behavior of of a state that deserves respect and that there should be some kind of action to be taken but i think they're keen to take this on any new level germany of course has the e.u. presidency at the moment so i think we can expect lots of discussions on that level
