i see a show or i think. nothing is wrong. but how would the world sound without the biggest composer of all time iconic you can begin to imagine. world class horn player center willis on a visit to journey of discovery. without beethoven starts september 16th w. . doctors here in berlin today said what doctors in russia would not it was poison test results for alexi in of all the the most outspoken cream wing critic showed that he was poisoned and with that the medical quickly becomes political german chancellor angela merkel calling on russian president vladimir putin to investigate the message tonight from moscow we are not involved i'm burnt off in berlin this is
10:31 pm
the day. every stream you relief to many limits other than one in berlin family no one's to foreclose on to the medical case and nothing else since there's a very serious suspicion of a poison attack this must be clarified with full transparency to the last detail this is going. to be with the people in plain clothes working in your hospital i can't say who they were. there was no pressure on asa told you of course everyone wanted to know what happened. to many facts are still missing in the felony case medical facts and probably also criminological faxed over should well i mean it's obviously something terrible happens obviously this was an attack on islam but.
10:32 pm
also coming up a west year he was the killer in new zealand's deadliest mass shooting he's now facing life in prison today he came face to face with the families of his victims and what you can break. your faith is that we became more determined. yes. but to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with russia's poisoned politician alexina volunteer he is russia's leading opposition figure the loudest critic of the kremlin and we know that he was being watched by the russian secret service last thursday when he suddenly became severely ill the siberian doctors treating him say they saved his life but they didn't say from poison on saturday of all nice still in
10:33 pm
a coma was medivac from russia to germany today his doctors here in berlin said diagnostic tests made clear navai was for years and now in a statement released by berlin's shariat a hospital doctors say that of all the remains in a medically induced coma in serious condition but that his life is no longer in danger doctors have confirmed that clinical findings indicate poisoning most troubling for the vollies wife and family his prognosis remains unclear the possibility of long term effects particularly those affecting the nervous system cannot be excluded. she's covering this story for us tonight she is also here in berlin good evening to you the german chancellor issuing a statement immediately after the hospital confirmed the poisoning diagnosis what did uncle americal say. well i'm going to go have a very swift and
10:34 pm
a very strong statement to make she say that those restaurants of all these cases must be identified and have the countable presumed poisoning she called together was foreign minister hike a moslem moscow to foodie and you know transparent man are investigated to suspect it's poisoning of alexei an avanti because of his stage is a politico they said and also the use diplomatic chief just at burra say he called for the russian military teams to investigate the case very closely so pretty strong statements coming tonight from germany and also from europe we learned today that of all news now under 24 hour police protection here in berlin if he was poisoned once there reason to believe that someone could try again to hurt him. well there's a number of reasons for doubt there's a history of crimea ponens being killed both in russia and abroad so these being protected here in germany he has been before he has
10:35 pm
a he was escorted by police on his way to the hospital here in bed again he's got it there as well and this afternoon more police officers came by the charity hospital where he's being taken care off the german government knows that badly and he's a necessity a safe place for politico the incident to the kremlin last year in august 2019 a former georgian chechen military commander was murdered in broad daylight here in valley in by an alleged russian intelligence officer which obviously increases the diplomatic tension between bad and moscow. today the german chancellor she called on last to investigate the medical she's known for being able to get the year. some people call or the whisperer is that true in this case. well i'm that case the clothes are pretty much off as i get america very publicly demanded answers from russia one should never forget that both that to me putin and i got america lead in the d.d.r.
10:36 pm
to former east germany with america going up there and letting me put in being an undercover k.g.b. agent in days then in the eighty's america won prizes as covert of the russian language so they do know each other how each other functions very well and so germany has economy ties with russia but diplomatically we've seen an increase of tensions between the 2 leaders between the 2 count trees with the ben laden was the opposite views of russia and germany on belarus and now is a suspected poisoning of alexei nevada in the you know in that we've gone to being treated in a german hospital he was flown out of russia his life was in danger at the time the optics of this germany saving a russian man's life from poisoning when russian doctors won't even agree that he was poisoned the optics are there bad for russia and for russian president putin. well there's been a reaction from russian selfish shows his say doesn't involve the had tested
10:37 pm
negative. inhibitors when he was hospitalized in arms but there hasn't been a political reaction so of course it doesn't no good for russia but at the same time we've been here before and nothing but a change channel. was murdered in 2006 putting his credit going then and then soft was shot dead in 2015 and then last year we saw the beilin america so tensions are just accumulating and mounting between germany and russia over. russia's handling of its dissidents yeah i mean so much of this sounds chillingly so miliard you know it was just on the story for us your girl and i thank you. let's take the story now to toronto i want to speak to dr david your link he's a clinical pharmacologist and toxicologist a specialist in poisonous substances doctors good to have you on the day i 1st want to discuss this poison doctors say that they detected colon extra race inhibitors
10:38 pm
in a light scene of all these systems so what what do you know what does the next trace do and what happens when its production is curtailed so you can think of the brain and nervous system as a series of billions and billions of a tiny little wires that communicate with each other nerves talk to nerves and muscles or tissues by releasing chemicals and one of those chemicals is co. what nerve agents do is they block the normal breakdown and so when someone's exposed to this they are literally swamped with this chemical chemical we all got in our bodies right now but we just end up with enormous amounts of it and that's sort of a telltale clinical picture people who are poisoned with these things will begin to salivate and sweat and develop dhamma cramping in diarrhea muscles will secure later they can have seizures and in
10:39 pm
a coma and and often diapers are. and i assume is worrying then for mr deval and his family tonight is that doctors are not sure what the long term effects could be from this boy's. well the they can't have long term effects on nerve and muscle tissue one of the more concerning phenomena would be if someone was poisoned with this in their oxygen level was very low because the lungs were who probably the person was breathing well the concern there would be the brain might be deprived of oxygen and. you know might not recover so you know i don't have the details history of all these critical status but that would be a concern i would have and we understand that mr involved and he's been given an antidote the same any drug that was given to the script father and daughter he were attacked 2 years ago in england with no nerve agent. a
10:40 pm
chemical weapon i mean are we talking about here are some some type of poison that is similar to novi choked him can we deduce that. it sounds like it's from the same family i mean other talk is actually more than 100 different chemicals there are literally thousands of different nerve asians you know some of these are used as pesticides but they are sometimes used for poisoning the ones in the u.k. a few years ago the the treatment of this is actually you know i didn't support of care in helping someone you know breathe with a breathing machine is giving them the antidote here is often needed in very very large quantities because of the sheer enormity of the amount of coal in the prisoners. and if we're talking about maybe the same family of i assume that about a substance that is not easy to come by when we were talking about talking about
10:41 pm
that only state actors governments and militaries have access to which should we assume the same for the substance that was used to poison mr an evolving. i mean based upon what we know so far i think these is a there are thousands of chemicals in this in this class some of them you can get quite freely but the ones that are used for poisoning in malicious cases like this there are typically doesn't take much at all these are miniscule amounts in the taxi. to the skin so the source of compounds in this class that might be used in somebody would normally be very very difficult. connections as a connection you know which we know there are lots of them in russia the doctors the physicians in russia in siberia they say that they found the traces of a poison in 48 hours later the german doctors here in berlin they confirmed that
10:42 pm
there were traces of the poison is it possible that the toxin was not detectable at 1st and then 48 hours later became detectable. i suspect the detection capabilities in germany are greater than those in siberia and so you would normally look for a depressed level of this enzyme in the body these drugs as i mentioned to interfere with this enzyme that breaks down the chemicals that are calling and you can detect low levels of the enzyme for often very long periods of time not every hospital can do that i'm sure they can do it and i don't know if they can do it in syria my suspicion is not it's also i suppose conceivable that you could actually detect the chemical itself and that be more sophisticated testing that i think could be again normally the sort of thing that a military operation might do so i would be very much inclined to believe the german doctors and be suspicious that the russian testing was not valid or not reported accurately ok dr david yearly joining us tonight from toronto dr we
10:43 pm

10:47 pm
a mosque and started shooting then moved on to another muslim house of worship to continue his rampage families indeed the entire nation mourned the murderous acts of a 29 year old australian man who prosecutors say planned every move for maximum carnage what i can say is that it is clear that this is one of new zealand's. days new zealanders today as then offered support for the families of the muslim victims often using the indigenous maori phrase you can't come up a strong you know can't caught will with you thinking of you and your family are all. white and so long as model side hopefully justice i just know that we will disprove you know from the sidelines. back in court prayers for the victims and also for the perpetrator great sorrow and defiance. no words can describe what my thought is because. it's this fear is it is

10:49 pm
then blinked heavily and then wiped his eyes following the exchange the gunman dismissed his legal counsel earlier this year and he's chosen to represent himself which has. led many to speculate that he'd may try some point to try and grandstand or saying some kind of message out to who knows what. now authorities are taking steps to try and. avoid that so it's a prevent that from happening. limited the number of journalists and the courtroom allow them a quarter to 10 and there on the are allowed to report twice a day once at lunch time and i want to let on of the day. but there is definitely no absolute way of preventing him from signing that's saying something so i. just have to see what happens in the coming days.
