a dissident the easy used to come i think is safe as just i thought i also called on the russian all currencies to provide an investigation and then a transparent in investigation on the case so very strong statements tonight from the government and from the european union in light of what appears to be the poisoning of icing of yeah that's the political part of this what about the medical what else are the doctors saying. well i say enough on the it probably was intoxicated by a substance on the nest to raise inhibitor group but that the exact substance itself hasn't been identified yet this is a subset you usually find drugs in pesticides but also a nerve agent so you dots on the brains and you are transmitters and the tests have been done several times they've been done in separate laboratories so as to establish a diagnoses and a hospital indicated that even though they said of on these a health condition was pretty serious all the time there was no there's no acute

denture and he's alive and he's being treated and then she died which is called pain and there's no visibility though on the possible after effects of the suspected poisoning and what about. reactions coming from. there has been a reaction from russian house officials they say definite vonnie tested negative for nestor as inhibits his when he was hospitalized in almost a that hasn't been a political reaction so far but on the german side and balinese very much aware that the german capital isn't a safe place for dissidents to the russian regime actually a gamma go on august 23rd 2019 a former georgian chechen military commander was murdered by an alleged russian intelligence officer here in berlin in broad daylight and abetting accuse moscow to not cooperate with the investigation and as a result expelled 2 russian diplomats and moscow retaliated by expelling gemma one

so also the german authorities at the time moved the alleged killer for fear does a russian intelligence might try to kill him even within the german prison so this goes on to show how very little trust there is between the 2 countries at the moment and. sorry to say they suspected poisoning certainly comes with a lot of tension between the 2 countries at the moment it's easy to understand why there are so many suspicions your berlin tonight our political correspondent michael shanks with the latest you're in berlin and i thank you. our let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the world health organization is urging caution over the use of blood plasma from recovered patients to treat coated 19 sufferers and says results of international trials are inconclusive a prior to their announcement u.s. president would trump announced the emergency authorization of the experimental kogut 19 treaty after 3 days of talks at west african mediators have failed to

strike a deal with mali's military coup leaders for the formation of a transitional government regional leaders have been pressing for a quick return to civilian rule following president abraham who carcases alster last week both sides say that kids are no longer wishes to rule. in colombia 3 miners have been rescued alive after being trapped in a coal mine for 5 days the workers were buried by a landslide last wednesday in the central region of clinton i'm aka the president even duke a was on hand to greet the miners as they emerged from the ordeal. where u.s. republicans have formerly backed donald trump's bid for a 2nd term as u.s. president trump secured the nomination in a roll call vote as republicans began their national convention in charlotte north

carolina the convention is being held in person though this year's event has been scaled back because of the coded 19 pandemic last week's democratic convention was an almost entirely virtual affair because of fears of spreading the coronavirus after clinching the nomination the president defended his handling of the pandemic and said his administration had encouraged lockdowns at the right time. we did the exact right thing we shut it down then we reopened and that's what we're doing now we're well into it but. if we didn't shut it down at that point we would have had millions of people dead the job that mike pence and the task force and all of us together have done has been incredible what we've done what we've achieved more than 170000 americans have died from 900 so far let's take the story now to our washington bureau chief in this poll in this good evening to

you the formal nomination itself that was no surprise but it was brought forward time wise why right brain this is really unprecedented that a president or a candidate really delivers a speech before the exceptions speech which normally takes place the very last day you don't trump obviously is really missing crowd so he took this opportunity to get cheered on and off to all get the media attention he wants so what did he say when he accepted the nomination. and it was really a weird speed so there was hardly any substance beside it spreading fear and chaos let's have a look. hard yet you want to really drive him crazy you say 12 more years.

we caught them doing some really bad things in 2016 let's see what happens we caught him doing some really bad things we have to be very careful because they're trying it again with this whole 80000000 mail in ballots that they're working on. so. what is he accusing the democrats of here. well basically you know he says if he loses these elections it's the fault of the democrats because they promote mail in wilding and absentee voting because of the pen demick obviously that's his main take they he accuses the democrats to be willing to steal these elections so that's why we're starting the convention what can we expect over the next 4 days. that's also very on president. he will donald trump the president on the trump bill appear every single night and

deliver a speech and then he will supported be supported by his family members his wife feels big his 2 sons will speak his 2 daughters will speak one thing i think it's worth looking out for is for him the key haley because some experts say that she will run in 2024 as president regardless of this outcome of this year's election that's right she's the former u.s. ambassador to the you've been and she's supposed to speak this monday night we'll be listening for that in this poll in washington is as always thank you u.s. democratic presidential nominee joe biden has called for a full and transparent investigation into the police officers you shot an unarmed black man in wisconsin 29 year old jacob blake was shot multiple times in the back and he got into a car on sunday afternoon he's now in the hospital in serious condition police say they were responding to

a domestic incident protests erupted across the city as news of the shooting spread . art my colleague reporter alex forrest whiting has been following this story for worse what more do we know well what witnesses say that blake was trying to separate 2 women who were involved in a fight and video has been posted on social media which appears to show the shooting from the other side of the street 2 offices seen shouting and pointing their weapons at the man who walks around a vehicle and leans in to get in one officer grabs his shirt from behind and fires into the vehicle and we've decided not to show that part but 7 shots are heard in total there was an emergency response to the shooting as blake is left lying on the road which we can see there and he's also claimed that his 3 children were in the vehicle at the time of the shooting we delay to see him structured into an awaiting

ambulance and taken to hospital where his condition is set now to be serious but stable meanwhile the offices involved have been put on administrative leave with disturbing images they are amid this follows weeks of protests against racism and police brutality in the u.s. yes it comes just 3 months off to the police killing of george flowing to minneapolis and all those protests that we saw not just in the u.s. but around the world and also many people at the time still calling for justice for other black deaths including briona taylor and tammy rice and so many on this and and even in places like portland in oregon there are still protests going on every night as we speak this shooting in wisconsin comes on the eve of the republican national convention i mean could this play into what we're going to hear this week or even into the election in november well look donald trump has tried to play down and belittle the black lives matter movement but at the same time the protest as he

has tried to portray them as violent. anarchic dangerous evil and has made himself over and over again calling himself president of law and order now he's not said anything so far about this his son joe jr tweeted asking if any democrats have denounced the on the king of sunday night's protests joe biden as we've heard is calling now for a transparent investigation i think this just shows the difference the huge difference between these 2 parties 2 parties to very different approaches that is for sure alex thank you hurricane marco in trouble storm laura have torn through the caribbean and the gulf of mexico leaving massive destruction in their wake at least 11 people died in the dominican republic and haiti both storms are expected to hit the u.s. gulf coast this week. storm moore has already left
