a hospital in berlin alexina valmy is being treated here for what his supporters say was a case of poisoning the sheraton he confirmed that doctors treating putin's most prominent critics say he probably was poisoned. it's said clinical findings indicate poisoning with a substance from the group of colon noster is inhibitors it's not clear exactly what the substance was some call an australian hip it is a used as a treatment for alzheimer's disease but chemicals from the group can also be used as a nerve agent chancellor angela merkel and foreign minister heiko mass are demanding an investigation in view of mist in the valleys prominent role in the political opposition in russia the authorities there are now urgently called upon to investigate this act fairly and to do so with full transparency alexina valmy is not the 1st russian critic of the kremlin to be poisoned the former spy alexander

litvinenko died in 2006 after he drank poisoned tea before her assassination journalist anna politkovskaya said she had survived an attempt to poison her and the opposition politician porous name soft was gunned down in 2015 and now this suspected attack for politician norbert wrote ken it's clear who's behind it these are this latest attempted murder and the threats and intimidation against anyone linked to the opposition has once again revealed the true face of the regime and in particular vladimir putin could sort. doctors say alexina vilnius condition is serious but not life threatening for more on this story i'm now joined by respondent emily sherman emily the kremlin has now reacted to the statements of the chancellor. clinic demanding and investigations investigation what did the kremlin say. well we heard from the

kremlin spokesperson that made his cough and he said that doctors had been a bit hasty because they actually haven't identified what substance may have been used against another viney or was found in his body at all in fact it's just a group of substances that had been found it's worth pointing out of course that that group of substances includes dangerous nerve agents and initially the kremlin had said that if it was found that he had been poisoned that an investigation would be absolutely necessary now today we heard that it's much too early to open an investigation because all we know about these health at the moment is that he's in a coma and we don't know what substance may have been used against him if any at all according to the kremlin or the permanent of course denies any involvement but given the history that we heard in our report how credible is. well of course we absolutely don't know who's behind this alleged poisoning if it

is one and we know that now finally had a lot of enemies including in high up places he's known for his anti corruption investigations and media there have been media reports that in siberia he may have been carrying out an anti corruption investigation into local politicians there from the ruling united russia party his team haven't confirmed that yet but it does seem likely and when it comes to kremlin involvement we may never find out it's important i think to point out that. when people talk about putin's involvement there are there it's a system that has been created it's not necessarily personal involvement by the kremlin there have been much discussed articles in russian media about how much. viney had been followed in siberia by security forces who apparently knew

everything from what he was eating to where he was staying how many rooms his team had rented when he ordered sushi and so on considering that level of surveillance that he seems to have been under it does seem unlikely that the author already is wouldn't have known about a potential poisoning but we obviously don't know and are unlikely to find out whether the kremlin or authorities are behind this as we've heard many a position. and critical journalists have been poisoned targeted some of the way inside and outside of russia what do ordinary russians say to all this. well this has been a big story here particularly of course in opposition media with people kind of discussing it after all now finally has supporters and offices across the country he's called in the past for opposition protests as well and his anti corruption

videos on you tube some of them have had millions of hits including for example his investigation into former president and prime minister meet the needs of a diff but i think the vast majority of russians probably think that if he was meddling and investigating such such high up people such high up politicians then this is on surprising you know because moscow correspondent emily server in the thank you emily earlier i spoke to nora poet he's a member of the german parliament sits on the committee on foreign affairs asked him what action should germany now take in response to the volleys suspected poisoning police obviously we need in this occasion but this is not enough we see a systematic since the mission of the opposition forces to russia not only russia also and our sort of burning also in great britain and. it's a sign that we have to restart so i hope that my government of the presidency of

the e.u. and is a month coordinate is strong response of the european union because what's happened what's now happening to them is that not only is it peak of a lot of as a nation it's at times be so before i'm that's when you stop do you think we need germany needs to rethink its relations with russia. remeet i know it is that they won't be peace in europe we don't russia but. need also will for peace in russia and will. of good life and liberty for free and for their own people so we need all of course but we have to rethink our entanglements and when it comes to very sensitive issues like energy pipelines which are built up because of our partner states so yes you have to rethink

a lot of it but you just you just mentioned the pipeline we're talking of course about the north stream to gas pipeline is it time to scrap the project altogether and not for years my government is telling us that the most important priority for them is to keep the european union together and i agree with that but not trade is if you buy it or not is that the cost of the whole and the baltic states and ukraine and i do not think that it's worth it to to the white euro because unfazed by that role and if you project and also see it that's just wrong because one of the funders of a regime which has this kind of systematic of us a nation of i hope this no we shouldn't be coat was all there of that in europe thank you very much thank you. to belarus now where according to exiled opposition leader. going off

cities jacob blake's name is now added to the long list of victims of police violence in america. has been reporting on the rest and. he sent us this situation. this is the 2nd night of protest of unrest in can also wisconsin and there's you see here those law enforcement officers should local sheriffs but also national guard are protecting the courthouse in the middle of kenosha now during the course of the night there were several fires several cars were put on fires but also now several buildings and it was a really really busy night for the fire department here so far and no real clashes between protesters who are now still around and law enforcement and speaking of law enforcement we have seen someone foresman to troops or officers who were all dressed in black and had no insignia no identification no name takes nothing and

it's probably fair to assume that also federal law enforcement is seeing kenosha to try to control this situation or get a handle on it the curfew which was imposed by the county earlier tonight did have no effect as you clearly see there still protesters now out in the bout in the middle of the night here in can osha local time protesters are very very upset very very angry they are asking a question what has changed in america in the last 3 months since the murder of george florida in minneapolis what has changed they think not so much and only this can be an explanation for what we have seen in this video where police officer in can osha shoots a black. african-american and black man with 7 shots in the back. stephanie a reporter was staying in. republicans have formally nominated donald trump as their candidate in the presidential election to face the democrats candidates joe

biden from secure the nomination on the 1st day of the republican national convention in charlotte north carolina in a speech the president accused his opponents of trying to rig the election this election is the battle for the soul of america america it's all on the line and what the republican national convention lacks in numbers it's certainly making up for impassion. your destiny ladies and gentlemen. are freedom and liberty and the american dream. is yet. in a scaled back event donald trump jr his partner was among the key speakers on the opening night. land of promise donald trump's of the sun himself went on the attack people trying democratic candidates joe biden as a puppet of the radical left whose agenda would mean the end of law and order.

people of faith are under attack you're not allowed to go to church but mass chaos in the streets gets a pass. it's almost like this election is shaping up to be church work in school versus rioting looting and there was an america is such a great country a narrative also picked up by the missouri couple who went viral when they were filmed pointing their guns at black lives matter protesters you are watching from quite near so make no mistake no matter where you live your family will not be safe and the radical democrats america. donald trump made an unscheduled appearance at the convention center in charlotte after he formally won the nomination to vie for a 2nd term. trump repeated his unsubstantiated claim that the democrats would steal the election got 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 at their

work you know the only way they can take this election away from us is if this is a rigged election we're going to win this election right. thank you for the 4 day convention gives the republicans a chance to reassure the american public whose concern has grown over the handling of the kovac crisis and racial injustice. don't trump is expected to use every one of those days to prove he's ready for a fight. we were told it will include joins me this too for some analysis. almost 180000 americans have died the coronavirus pandemic black lab spent approaches rocking the country is it is team are they trying to turn that into an advantage somehow well of course they're going to have to try donald trump for being an incumbent president and all the advantages that come with being the incumbent president for being in

a good position to win reelection is nonetheless in a very difficult spot i mean none of the polls are in his direction not only is his approval rating only in the low forty's biden is up in most polls both nationally and states and heard from $7.00 to $10.00 points americans only 23 percent of americans say in a recent a.p. poll that the country is going in the right direction and less than 40 percent of americans say that the trump administration has been handling the coronavirus pandemic in a good way let's not forget the top of black lives matter and the coronavirus is also historic economic crisis so what we saw yesterday and what we're going to be seeing over the course this campaign is either distracting from these issues or trying to find a way to make it look like donald trump has actually been on top of these issues we already saw testimonials from people regarding the coronavirus saying that trump has done a good job we've seen donald trump in a more empathetic a listening position where we saw him meeting with people hearing their stories last night in the opening of the of the convention and as it comes to what's going

on now restock because of what happened in kosher this yet another black man being shot it's going to be come down between social injustice which is what the democrats are really me pushing versus the law and order what's what the trump campaign is going to be pushing and wherever you see yourself is probably where you're going to be siding talking of the democrats if you compare the tone of this kind of convention it's only day one about compared to the democrats in the. last week what's the difference i actually find a very interesting how similar they are both are walking is very fine line of darkness and light to use joe biden's terminology at last week both are trying to paint an optimistic picture if of course you vote for me whether it's all trump whether it's joe biden and a very very dark picture if you don't the democrats trying to say america is a great country american do so much better but america will not be the country you know anymore if donald trump wins america cannot handle or withstand another 4 years of donald trump and the trumpet ministrations trying to say the exact same

thing so much is great we made america great again before the coronavirus and then we have the greatest economy job growth especially among minorities ever let's go back to that it's very difficult to walk that line remember donald trump started his his presidency with american carnage that is a very dark place to start and the other thing the trump ministration wants to do is try to paint the biden campaign and democrats as calling america racist calling individuals racist nobody wants to think that they're racist don't want to think they're voting for someone who is racist so donald trump by saying this is nonsense might make people who are skeptical about that more comfortable in voting for donald trump donald trump usually thrives on these become ventures with lots and lots of support as cheering him on this is of different type of conventions it's very virtual how's he doing with his brief if you he's also a t.v. man and this is a t.v. event so we already saw some of those pictures very slick pictures very slick background very slick production values so while donald trump does thrive on that

live experience the t.v. aspects very good as well and remember this kind of vent virtual pre-planned means it's much more controlled he stays on script less chance of him saying something that might get him into trouble. from the peep from from voters with a new group thank you very much for this analysis. of a brief look now at some of the other world news. palestinian authorities have ordered a 48 hour lockdown in gaza after recording the 1st cases of covert 19 among the general public 4 cases of the virus were recorded in one family living in a densely populated refugee camp gaza residents have raced to buy supplies head of the. u.n. war crimes tribunal has begun hearing an appeal by bosnian serb general. against his life sentence for genocide knowledge was sentenced in time to 17 over the spread it's a massacre and other war crimes carried out during balls in

a civil war in the 990 s. the world health organization is to declare africa free of the communist form of polio that's a viral disease that mainly affects young children and can cause paralysis in a matter of hours there's no cure but there is a vaccine that's highly effective as long as enough children get it but that could be a challenge in certain communities for. this simple that scene can prevent a child contracting polio sam carr is a nurse her job keep children polio free the enormous progress has been made in recent years she says as i say this i was i love raising my kids who have achieved in the country i don't think listeners who sad day so we need to celebrate that nigeria as it is is going to end well for you or fish only nigeria has not true cool did any new cases of polio in 4 years but good of 3 main to keep it that way.

here in the northern part of nigeria out there so many conflict zones which are very difficult to access for health care and another challenge is that many people here don't want to get vaccines. we are in the predominantly muslim north of nigeria it is widely believed the polio vaccine is a way to control family planning a momo slips. i believe. the vaccine is just a way to harm people when they will not be healthy because of the vaccine. we believe it's connected to family planning to think there are other problems that are worse diseases like malaria. wants to fight these misconceptions he explains to these men he contracted polio when he was 3 in order to talk to the women of this community he needs to convince the men 1st

it is a patriarchal society with its own rules others are supporting him and raising awareness going door to door one house at a time. when the world health organization puts nigeria among the countries that have already k.-q. polio. but if you follow the. think it's gone what then is the reluctance. or do. these women have seen health care workers before but they did not take them seriously. we used to run away close our doors we were prepared to chase them away. the mother of 10 has vaccinated 4 children against polio since she met with one. or 2 before we believed the polio vaccine destroys a woman's uterus. a father of 3 is one of thousands community mobilizes spread across northern nigeria back in his house after

campaigning he tells me contracting the virus was hard but its impact and being denied many opportunities in life was even more challenging. disability you be able to become a victim of discrimination there are so many places you cannot assist there are so many you can not because of. disability ramadi wants to continue to educate parents so that no more children will have to grow up like him that's a mission that we want and he says not even when nigeria is officially declared poorly or free.
