right now you're looking at live pictures. board. emergency medical treatment and as i said these are live pictures from the site. where the russian opposition figure been fighting for his life after falling ill on thursday. the russian opposition leader citizens to keep up the pressure on president with more strikes in protest but there's also a growing show of support for the embattled leader. because. i was outraged at your position to both creatures. i saw it myself.

broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our key international and sean thomas let's get right to our top story this hour you're looking at live pictures or we're going to have live pictures here in a 2nd there you go the russian opposition leader elect. me is currently boarding an air ambulance in the city of it will take him to germany for emergency medical care you can see there's a helicopter which is airlifted him to the scene an ambulance and that plane with the german markings is going to take him there for the medical treatment of the anti-corruption campaign or fell critically ill on thursday while en route from siberia to moscow he is currently in a coma his supporters believe that he was poisoned and the medics who were treating him. said however that they had not detected any toxic substances in his system the

vollies team had been pleading with the doctors to allow his evacuation you could accuse me of emotional has more than. the doctors in charge of treating alex st of ali in russia siberian city of almost agreed to allow his transportation to a clinic in germany this is something his family has been repeatedly calling for with his wife julie or even appealing to president why demurred uprooting the medics say that the vine is still very weak and he's not stable that they smallman he's not strong enough for travelling but they say they're ready to allow these trust potations at the german doctors and the family's risk. but we are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital considering the requests of his family we will hope organize the transportation earlier the russian doctors

after discussing the violence house with their german colleagues who came to all earlier on friday said that air transportation could be specifically dangerous for aleksey because this is what caused his condition in the 1st place just to remind you of the scene of violent felt very ill while on the plane on his way back to. he felt ill no one could understand the reason it was very very sudden. and almost immediately after that the video emerged in the internet where we could hear alec saying of violently crying and shouting and in distress and paid. them earlier we also heard from the russian doctor is that toxic testing they say the filings. blog you ran samples absolute no traces of any talk 6

substance have been found this is the conclusion they came to if you will the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered and that's about disruption with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off while alex cena vilely is known as a prominent opposition figure here in russia and of course. the situation with his health attracted a lot of international attention. if you demo bones missed in the valley of course extremely preoccupied and saddened by the situation of alexina valmy this morning what happened to him and i want to see here that we give all our support his family his loved ones for a prompt recovery and we send by their side. i hope and wish of course that he will recover as quickly as possible we will of course offer him all the medical

help he needs and he can turn to german hospital. we're looking to and invite you to be reporting to me despite what the russian doctors say about toxic materials we still hear saying that violence supporters talking about poisoning and we have to remind you that this is not for the 1st time just last here there was very similar situation when alexander violence suddenly fell ill and they were very quick to say that he was poisoned but it turned out later that it was just the allergic reaction as soon as the news of the vollies illness broke western media began to speculate on whether the kremlin was involved some list of past cases in which the russian government was accused of poisoning opponents political analyst dmitri babich claims that however that the poisoning allegations don't stand up to scrutiny. course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is

a boy's inning. i am at a loss who would be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty it's a it's a cliché for their western media the western news agency is to blame rashi mediately after something happens basically there are many questions unanswered and the western media is not seeking answers to these questions instead is just so much easier to blame russia putin personally or to speculate if it could be done by russian government agents without which inseparable with putin's approach is just safe to make it against russia because it's much more dangerous to really investigate and to see broadly the role of our the exodus both in the story or. in the story or. rallies and counter protests have swept to belarus for

a 13th day in the wake of this month's disputed election friday large crowds gathered in support of president lukashenko in the country's west and he goes donna was among them. it's really really loud here what is playing behind me right now is the national anthem of the republic of the us a little bit of context right so what's the name of the country in the city of brest a lot during the time the 2nd full. the great feel because your guess is as good as mine here when it comes to scale but i would say this about the stephanie thousands of people maybe close to 10000 basically people who have to look to a number of them and their message is some of them one don't want to but none of them want to listen to ukrainians and to be played out in their public also a lot of people are making a huge point about the flag you can see how many better russian flags official by

the russian flags are behind and just around me essentially they have been saying that white red and white flags the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble. the. sea collaborates historic the 2nd full day of a huge problem with that because a lot of people in. history of losing. to get. your vote. they take it seriously so even though he makes a decision. that was what was the century the flag the colors of the catholic church was what. broke the camel's back. i came here because i want to keep belarus the way i don't want on rest i'm the mother i have a small child i want him to grow up you know peaceful and beautiful but nobody forced us to come here everyone has their own opinion and we should not prevent

each other from expressing our views. i'm from belarus for peaceful i'm 60 years old and i've been working as a driver whom. i had a life and i've traveled to europe where i've not seen the best the country. and i was outraged that your position provoked our security forces to violence i saw it myself i'm for peace in our country and we just need to start talking to each other . so they. would take an exam to. come here. to the city they. know the sort of. ground like can be in the center stage and speak. meanwhile this was the scene in minsk people gathered alongside a highway carrying the red and white flags of the country's opposition the demonstration began outside the detention center where protesters were held here is what people

are saying on the streets of the belorussian capital. certainly when you see that you are not alone it helps to keep the spirit top and stops you becoming said move but to let you speak you stop these 3 crosses we wanted to call those who are sponsible for the evil and humiliation of the brain over several last days to confess his sins was. greatly because he has took at the beginning. people at the same mistake but you have to remember that there were 26 years it's impossible to overturn it. elsewhere in the city there was a very different picture our correspondent took a ride with the motorists getting behind the president. off the presidency i'm now in a car it's a convertible this convoy in support of the government has just set off people are driving their cars around the capital waving these official red green belorussian

flags to be honest i didn't have an opportunity to count all the cars but i can tell you it's a huge line. i couldn't find the organizers of this event i thought it would be great to get an interview but i went up to several people asking if they could tell me which car the organizers were in and they told me that there are none. somebody just created the chat and more and more people joined it wanting to participate so the guys are telling me that's what's great about this event is that people have done everything themselves they bought the flags themselves can you see this flag that's actually not a flag pole it's a spade handle so as you can see many cars waving red and green flags this is how minsk looks right now there's another thing that's interesting about this convoy is the opposition was planning a completely opposite event they wanted to block the roads of the city. but as you can see they didn't succeed but i don't think many people would be disappointed

about this you can imagine the anger of ordinary people if the roads were completely blocked. butler says exiled opposition leader has given her 1st media conference since fleeing to lithuania. use the opportunity to tell foreign countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on president lukashenko with more workplace strikes. so bust off get up so you can join entirely legal and powerful weapon against the regime and they know it that's why they intimidate you leave the fear mongering to the dictatorship remember you are not alone i'm asking you to keep on strike who will make the call would hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us despite those calls for industrial action most employees are going about their business as normal over the last few days there have been no protests at factories and most enterprises are fully functioning that's in contrast

to earlier scenes we spoke to some of the workers. yes just get them out it's us you know i view it negatively a couple of people from my team went to the strike stayed there for 10 minutes and came back they were not interested in what was happening that they didn't like is a good deal on you but i will listen and you will see them go by dealing with those who support should have shown that they are the majority by taking to the streets it would have been a different picture now if only they had shown up at the anti-government protests we should have started rolling earlier in support of the current president morsi homosexual sure you don't see basically everyone has a negative view of the strikes because this is a key enterprise and the well being of the entire city depends on its stable operation there for such actions of the plan itself are next up to. moscow based political scientist archer den truck told us how he thinks look at should go will seek to end the crisis. in such case it's battle to i'm dissipate future demands of

the opposition that dissipate crisis and to try to. set up some instruments for dialogue maybe like public dialogue roundtable discussion about the future of develop the recent biology cannot development about social and political development and somehow to incorporate. moderate opposition into political process try to maybe not sharing power but drive to allow them to participate in decision making at the local level regional level at maybe at the national level so that they can express the ideas and interests of those who are intending to make sure their present well he doesn't want to maybe do our direct negotiations with the council because they are self appointed people so all the legally they do not represent the present population so it's not clear who

they are representing in this in this court in inclusion council but i think that he is a very large container agreed to have dialogue with the labor unions with a local local leaders lexi to me. local officials. lebanon is facing a threat of famine the deadly blast earlier this month destroyed grain silos and storing most of the country's wheat supplies and a badly damaged a beirut port which receives 85 percent of the country's food but locals are doing their best to help those in need. lot. of. basically civic society still has to see this

initiative one day after the bust we decided to that we have to do something since in lebanon the government doesn't care and doesn't do the government job of. war. or packaging flick boxes where you see your plans you know the nation has found people in the country and also from people abroad everything that this giant consulate that's what the family you know i. saw she had never seen west times never sleep times would never go hungry even during the week as shelter there was food every way we had bread and meat

vegetables but now god save us he still even had a. lot of. if. it really is a genuine place do you feel you were because they want to it's not because they have a political agenda or someone is paying us to do this work we just do it because we have to sit in a few minutes here knows. that. more news after a short break this is our 2 international.

well it was. all the.

i. welcome back this is our t. international now a gas explosion has killed at least 3 people in a russian apartment block and it is feared and that the figure could rise with $28.00 people unaccounted for including one child blast occurred on friday evening in the city of jaroslav all around 250 kilometers to the north east of moscow it caused the free corps floors to collapse in one section of the building destroying several homes residents have been evacuated from the building a criminal probe has been launched into potential violations of gas safety rules. a court in germany has sentenced a woman to 21 months in prison on terrorism charges the 30 year old dual citizen of

syria and germany was found guilty of sending several young women to syria to become brides of islamic state fighters the prosecutor was asking for 3 and a half years in prison however the court counted time the defendant had spent in a turkish deportation center and noted your lead score short time that she had been a member of beisel apparently less than one year additionally the sentence took into account the defendants 4 young children. thank god when someone distances themselves from terrorism as she did then you have to give them a chance this chris set a precedent for other trials for other people for wish to reintegrate themselves in our society that the state gives them this chance indeed we are not convinced by how display a radical change in her ideology we believe this is tactically that's why we are skeptical journalist adel darwish told my colleague jacqueline vogue earlier that

cases of former islamic state members successfully reintegrating into society are rare. there's a big problem because the. defense. and the defense is paid for by taxpayers money the only way that is not enough evidence or as the defense. pleading in germany is that they. are convinced that i haven't actually come across many of them who have entered into society in fact on the commissary even the ones who work at the start. because that kind of ideology as inseparable from the nazi ideology is just a way of life. you were talking about leniency there and it was also said that having children this woman having 4 young children was also take into account is

that correct. again you see this is a point of the argument because. of liberal minded left wing social services will take away. from the loving. if the woman happened having a problem of unity happening or there's little the history of some kind of fight between being a father on the mother and the flimsiest of evidence that courts will actually pick that children away for their own protection i don't see why that social service don't actually take that children away from the influence of the payer and. then at the with the idea of you have to. join to beijing in denouncing washington's decision to suspend a series of bilateral treaties the latest between the 2 countries this comes just weeks after the u.s. began targeting high ranking hong kong officials with sanctions including the city's chief executive. the united states' unilateral decision reflects its

disrespect for bilateralism and multilateralism under the current administration and should be condemned by the international community the hong kong government strongly objects to and deplores the united states' action which is widely seen as a move to create trouble since china u.s. relationship using hong kong as a pawn on wednesday the u.s. announced it would be suspending 3 treaties with hong kong they cover the surrender of fugitives as well as an extradition and a shipping tax exemption has been scrapped as well the trumpet ministration has cited china's new national security of law which it claims is eroding the city's state's autonomy but china expert professor benjamin chao says the u.s. does not hold the moral high ground on this issue. the u.s. says it is trying to protect its freedom and human rights of the ongoing people but the us itself is rulings much of the work then hong kong in many related measures

their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be certain to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallows. i. this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss friendship war and washington coming up the race for a covert 19 vaccine continues to heat up as some major american pharma giants are headed into promising late stage trials plus boeing is back in the spotlight as it looks to rebranded following at 737 max saga but will the make over help it take to

the skies and the later news outlets are taking the fight to apple over fees in the app store look at the long term impact of the decision mean moving forward the facts show today let's dive right in. and we leave the program with the latest in the race for a co-op at 19 vaccine american drug maker pfizer and german biotech firm bio intact said the vaccine they are developing is on course to face regulatory approval as early as october advanced trials of their latest vaccine known as b. to have shown the drug was well tolerated among participants across the age spectrum resulting in a moderate fever in fewer than 20 percent of participants the company said in a statement although they added they will continue to analyze data from the trials last month the 2 companies made a $2000000000.00 deal to supply $100000000.00 doses of the vaccine to the united states meanwhile johnson and johnson is planning a late stage trials of its experimental vaccine in september the latest trial would include up to $60000.00 volunteers and would be conducted at nearly $180.00 sites

across the united states and in other countries according to u.s. government the u.s. government's database of clinical trials now earlier this month johnson and johnson also made an agreement with the united states government to provide $100000000.00 doses of a possible vaccine in a deal valued at over $1000000000.00 with that said let's go ahead and take a look at the. and then spread of the buyers globally with our 2 correspondents our cabbage or so i will always try to surrender right now more than 22000000 people have been diagnosed with cold in 1000 around the world now some 15700000 people have recovered and more than 800000 that's you heard right we are now reaching over 800000 deaths and as of friday afternoon the u.s. has been over 5700000 come from k. says and almost 180000 deaths right here in the u.s. but taking a closer look at the daily case numbers in the u.s. now the u.s.

reported more than 49000 new cases on thursday right over here now that's a 11 percent drop compared to the last 7 days so it's an improvement but not much because if you look it just keeps going up and lower and it's this trend what we need for it to go is to flatten out but it keeps going up and down so that's not good now deaths in the u.s. 'd there are still well below their peak spring levels and they're averaging about a 1000 deaths per day and that's more than double than the average in july because if you take a look at here we were averaging about $500.00 deaths per day now we're averaging about a 1000 that's still much better than where we were march april there were around 2 that were around $2500.00 deaths so it's been lower and now and new the c.d.c. forecasts said there's going to be anywhere between 194-002-2040 extension 00 deaths by september 12th so on that estimate the lower.
