poison. authoritiesussian of trying to stop the evacuation. we have reports. on inside going this hospital is only slightly clear of what is going on inside the body of its most famous patient. with a plane waiting to take an unconscious alexi to germany, doctors spent most of the day saying he was too sick to move. late on friday, a change of positions. relatives, the wife come i am brother of the patient have asked about the diagnosis and condition and are ready to take the risks. we have decided not to oppose transferring the patient to another clinic. >> he will be taken to the airport and flown to berlin. earlier, the opposition leader's spokeswoman and an aide struggled to spoke -- to speak with german doctors.

>> he was not allowed to meet with german doctors. the pushed me away. the pushed her away. -- they pushed me away. they pushed her away. we have the full right to speak to german doctors and know his conviction -- and know his condition. >> his wife suspects the delay in releasing him is so any poison in his system will be harder to the tech. -- to detect. >> the situation is outrageous. we think it is obvious that something is being hidden from us. >> the allegation that the opposition leader drank poisoned the is being denied by the hospital medics -- tea is being denied by the hospital medics. >> we have come to the conclusion there were no poisons inside his blood or other biological material. he has lowering of the blood

sugar levels and temperature due to a rapid change of pressure. everyone thinks it was during takeoff. >> tests and treatment will confirm whether doctors outside russia share this opinion. gathering have been and getting detained. like the opposition leader's closest aides, the are convinced this was an attempt on his life and that vladimir putin is to blame. organizingity alexi's flight to berlin says a safety is the first priority. >> bringing a plane, making sure he can come safely to berlin and get his treatment. all the speculation about poisoning is not real business. they are famous for

doing a good job in trying to save such people. obviously also to find out which can of substance has been involved -- kind of substance has been involved. on my site, it was very important to have german medics with us, were actually checked if he was able to fly. -- who actually checked if he was able to fly. they came to the conclusion that he can fly. and we will fly. >> dominic canas in berlin for us. they say german doctors are one of the best to treat his condition. >> when he arrived in berlin it was -- when he arrived in berlin, it was to this hospital, a world-renowned institution of long-standing that has relevant and direct and recent experience who treating patients present with similar symptoms and similar conditions to those

the opposition leader has been suffering from since this ordeal began on that flight in siberia. the point here is, the organization which has sourced his medical evacuation flight is the same organization that sourced a similar flight for another critic of the government of vladimir putin in moscow a few years ago. oft person is an associate the right group and was brought here by the cinema for peace foundation. they are the ones sourcing the opposition leader's flight, as well, and they believe he has been the victim of a poisoning. that goes against what has been 'aid from the russian doctors perspective. they believe they will be vindicated. when the officials in the hospital gets a treat the opposition leader, they will find what his side of the story is the case. they say he has been poisoned. we will wait to see what happens when the opposition leader all arrives at the hospital --

leader arrives at the hospital. our guest joins us from the u.s. what do you make of germany's involvement? >> i think there are a lot of unanswered questions here. this goes to the issue of u.s.-russia relations and russia's relations with the west, as well. also figuring out the truth. this is not the first putin critic who has been poisoned. there are still a lot of unanswered questions, but there's a clear pattern of putin critics being poisoned whenever they present a danger to the kremlin regime. certainly, the timing of this incident, especially in the context of protests in belarus is quite significant. >> why? >> it is very important, because putin fears a popular uprising.

we know this historically, he has always been afraid of revolutions, he believes they are sponsored by the united states, he said the same thing about the arabs. now we are seeing unprecedented protests very close to home and belarus. -- in belarus. >> isn't it a strange time to have allegedly orchestrated something like this? >> look, the opposition leader has risen as a very strong voice. for a leader who was afraid of popular uprising, his word could potentially spark another uprising. that is something that worries putin. >> if people perceive he has been poisoned, should he even die from this, that can cause even more problems to the kremlin. >> sure, it could. this is a pattern that keeps repeating. but i think it highlights where

the kremlin's priorities lie, in silencing opposition voices. >> is it plausible that an opposition leader, who is outspoken and well-known, might have enemies outside of the kremlin? >> it is possible. there's a lot we don't know. but there's a pattern of behavior. everything about this incident looks very suspicious. had up fact that doctors until most recently resisted transferring to a better hospital, there's a lot of questions to be asked here. >> with the you imagine might happen when he goes to germany? -- what do you imagine might happen when he goes to germany? will getis that he better and he will recover from this, but how soon might he return to russia, do you think?

>> i think this defense on his health condition. i am certainly not a doctor or in a position to comment on that. there's also the issue of certain poisons can't be contacted after some amount of time has passed. allowing him to go to germany might have something to do with that. >> had the you think the investigation will play out then -- how do you think the investigation will play out then? >> we don't really know. at this stage, we would have to wait and see what happens once he gets transferred to the german hospital. certainly, this incident brings of the lesss poisoning, that was treated by british doctors, they did establish a case of poisoning. obviously, a different case, but

very familiar with in this report, a record amount of ice lost in 2019. did scientists predict this would happen? from priordy knew data and field expeditions that 2019 was one summer with a lot of melting in greenland. we finally gave proof that 2019 set a new record in terms of ice loss. we were surprised some extent, because the previous -- to some extent, because the previous ice loss had been considered events of the century, repeated just within seven years. >> what about that worst case scenario about the entire ice sheet melting? is that something that could happen? it is definitely something that could happen, but it may take millennia to really disintegrate the ice sheets to a large extent.

we have substantial ice loss caused by melting, closely connected the temperature. save, we will we get back in terms of less sea level rise, also the risks that are coming with it. >> tell me more about those risks if this ice loss from greenland continues to accelerate at the present rate. i think based on our study, greenland could contribute like 10 centimeters by the end of the century. obviously, a lot of coastlines will be affected. 30 million people could be affected directly by the sort of sea level rise -- this sort of sea level rise.

it is not only greenland, we also have the arctic glaciers, antarctica and the thermal expansion of the ocean that is related to global warming also contributed to sea level rise. >> would you advise governments to do? >> -- what do you advise governments to do? >> the planet is warming and temperatures in the arctic are rising disproportionately. we see some temperatures 1.5 times faster than the global average. if we continue on this path, we will see something like higher temperatures than today in the arctic. advise to limit co2 emissions, keep the arctic at a butter temperature. -- better temperature. even ifthe ice sheet,
