mainstream media point the finger at russian authorities after the country's prominent opposition activist election about only falls into a coma russian doctors who initially treated him say no toxic agent has been detected in his blood and blood 12 o'clock we received results from 2 lobes of the better russian capital passed peacefully after 2 weeks of on rest in the country president bush ankara expressed gratitude to the military and riot police for maintaining order. to the task force to. look close up. and dozens of women of west african origin camp outside their embassies and come concha lets in lebanon demanding to be sent back home as their employees in the

crisis the country leave them literally on the street i'm pregnant and i'm interested because i want to grow old. like right now i don't. mean to streets. good afternoon just gone 3 o'clock here in moscow you watching r.t. international the russian doctors say that mainstream media claims that a top russian opposition figure was poisoned a force at the coal staff at the central russian hospital which treated him claimed they found no traces of a toxic agent in a lexi never found these blood. actually it would have been easier for us to choose a treatment strategy for we had known for a fact that we were dealing with poisoning but it took a while and by 12 o'clock would receive results from 2 labs one in tomsk and the other in moscow they both said that no substance that could be classified as poison

had been found it was important for us to remove the poisoning theory so we could do a better job treating mr novell name. valley who he's still in a coma has been receiving treatment in berlin since saturday although german medics have yet to make any comment on a possible diagnosis participator all of it joins us now outside the medical facility where the activity is being treated good afternoon again just run through it and what we know about this case so far. well we know very little about when it comes to updates of the competition of alexei navalny but we have heard from the german government spokesperson. on monday during his press briefing he took questions about alexina valmy saying during that briefing the german government was of the opinion it was likely that he had been poisoned. the german government expressed its readiness to provide mr

murray by only who was the target of a possible poisoning attack with all the nurses or a medical treatment of his family asked for this in our view it was clear that it was necessary to put mr number only under protection during his stay in. the suspicion here is that someone poisoned mist in the valley something which we've been fortunate to seen in russia's recent history that's why i think the world takes the suspicion very seriously. while at the same time it was saying that the german foreign minister heiko moss was in kiev he was also asked questions about alexei novelli but said he wouldn't be drawn to speak further on claims he's being attacked or being poisoned saying there wasn't enough facts or evidence to back up him saying so alexina valley has been here in berlin since saturday he's described as being in a serious but stable condition in an induced coma in the shot at

a hospital just behind me he fell ill on thursday on a flight from siberia in moscow i beg your pardon during that. flight had to make an emergency landing in the city of homs. he was in some clear distress as he was being taken off the plane his press secretary as well as his supporters have claimed he's been poisoned however doctors in the city of all said that wasn't the case they've also answered questions over why information regarding alexei navalny wasn't released to the media saying it infringed upon patient confidentiality rights. a lot of famous journalists and even doctors were commenting on the situation without having any information they were asking why we're not disclosing details about the diagnosis treatments and test results but all these people know that russian law doesn't allow us to do that we were restricted by the federal law on confidential information. there are plenty theories abound when it comes to what

happened to alexa in the valley but some suggesting even his diet may have had something to do with it however the place everybody is looking for answers that are lacking at the moment is just behind me at the show at a hospital in berlin we are hoping to hear some form of statement from them regarding the condition of mist in the valley but non is being forthcoming yet this fight this lack of evidence or pointing to what happened to alexina family that hasn't stopped some in the media from claiming that the kremlin was behind his poisoning. so. there's a lot of chewing. he particularly likes you don't need a security clearance to know that the kremlin has a track record of poisoning its critics. well it had been reported that alexei navalny was here as a guest of anglo-american stephon cyber the government spokesperson cleared that up saying this mr he was here in a purely private capacity he also confirmed that

a police presence that you can see some of which just behind me was on the scene in order to secure the part of the hospital where alexina valley is receiving treatment of any updates from here in berlin of course we'll bring them to you here on r.t. . q ok thanks pete that is our correspondent there peter all of our. ok let's bring in that band have a salary from the germany's at the left. what do you make these comments from the german government spokes person saying that the valley was possibly poisoned given the fact that there's no nothing's been said from german doctors and russian doctors say they found no poison. well i think it's highly unusual for a press. of the government who in his former career before becoming press spokesman was a t.v. anchor and with absolutely no disrespect to you andrew i don't think t.v.

anchor as a qualified to discuss patients i think that should be that up to doctors and so i tend to believe the statements of his doctors who say that he wasn't poisons and as long as we don't have any private information pointing to the contrary i think all media reports that are reporting that he was pardoned without basing that on any kind of evidence at all i just purely anti-rational this is the area and this this kind of. pure speculation that we're seeing now has been going on for the last yes and it has been increasing and it has been becoming increasingly observed there has because yet you have absolutely no basis in fact and that what you just wrote is that t.v. anchors are saying yes putin is going around poisoning people all the time if you

believe that that the amount of people they're putting this. is suggested to have poisoned or killed you know he wouldn't have any time left to actually govern the country's president all to see any similarities here between the history we saw with the script certainly in the immediate sort of days after that. the playbook suddenly looks similar because you don't have any real evidence they are not interested in an in a real investigation they just want to have their own facts allat that are just made up by government groups and. where are the facts they just pretend that they know facts and intelligence agencies have fact that they cannot disclose off fact that the public is too stupid to understand so just lay out the cats and then we can make our judgement on all but all those facts are hidden and they remain hidden and they probably don't even exist but what you'll do certainly russian

doctor said look we can't reveal details that sort of patient confidentiality but should an exception be made given the hysteria that we're hearing. and i think patient confidentiality is a very important thing it's important for patients to know that they have their rights are protected and it's important for the families of course our hearts go out to his family because it's always a terrible situation trafford relative go through such a medical condition but it should be politicized to such a degree and media should respect pay she confidentiality because it can happen to any one of us and it's important that we have those protections just as you have them in russian law we have them in german laws well and i hope that suddenly no exception is made by the treating doctors at the shotty hospital in berlin and just a regard to the police protection that's currently sort of given out in the valley in that medical unit we've seen from pictures just from our own correspondent the

police that are outside that warranted you think. well i cannot judge that but i think it certainly shows that when the government says that he's there as a private crossing and not as a political in by t. then that has to be just as well it's not completely truthful because there would be such a protection and it's not any days that. are not being treated at the best one of the best hospitals in germany so there is a political motive to that and i think you should well it's comical. i don't think it's justified because instead we have precedents to just treat opposition politicians and one of the best hospital. ok. always good to tote has been to the solely from the link up our team in germany thank you thank you.

battery center the 3rd week of unrest on sunday tens of thousands of anti-government protesters marched through the capital minsk they carried red and white flags and chanted slogans against the president alexander lukashenko demanding his resignation after disputed elections. was was. i. think. i was a come on to the guts of sport after the order to move in the direction of the national flag square the crowd came up close to the barbed wire and on you know they were a metre away from the right police and the so far there haven't been any provocation

but the protesters and the armed forces are very close to one another cut off but. despite the heavy military presence there there were no arrests and this latest demonstration did pass off peacefully without incident alexander lukashenko found the offices. look ugly her little groups are going to cut her to a cubicle for simple. the close up. the country remains split between pro and anti-government supporters ahead of sunday's rally the government advice supporters to stay at home to avoid provocation so let's go through then the timeline of events over the weekend with our correspondent he goes you don. people behind me on the independence square of the bell the russian capital minsk they have been chanting slogans like leave calling on the president of butter roselle xander location good

to go and long live belarus right now they're clapping and my cameraman is just going to zoom in to show you the scale of the protest right now we have a really good vantage point over there in the distance you can see police vehicles and well police vehicles and crowds crowd control machines they again they are so far standing by they are here they have not intervened well yet we do not know whether or not they will also we do know that the government has called on its supporters to stay home this has been done in order to avoid any potential confrontation and you know brawls between some of the more passionate protesters the protest has spilled from the square and into the streets blocking the traffic and now it's just a sea of people yelling chants like long live about a rose and go go leave coolly go on the incumbent president of this republic of

xander lukashenko to leave office because they do not recognize the protesters here they do not recognize the results of the election we will like to with the election results i did not vote for the opinions of my friends were not taken into account the person who has declared president is not the one who has been elected and won fair lections political prisoners to be released and then them to violence our country has never seen anything like what is happening now right now you can see that behind me this towering structure and the museum behind it are being guarded by the security forces they are not letting people come close but they aren't trying to the road between the security forces and the protesters has become sort of an improvised border very very large telegram channels with lots of followers are being used to. these protests because the it's not like people it's not it hasn't been spontaneous it has been organized it has been coordinated through internet for instance. the reason why protesters aren't trying to storm the

structure is because this channel has called on people not to do that and not to approach the museum that's behind those behind the structure on the small hill so soon they will be moving to another and we believe that the final location of today's protest and so far because so far judging by what i have seen of these people these protesters they have been following every direction given by the coordinators well president alexander lukashenko here right by helicopter at the presidential palace in the capital surrounded by protesters he was shown wearing a flak jacket and carrying a kalashnikov rifle and video of course a swirl of false reports to actually fleeing the capital not the 1st example either a fake news is not against the reports but it is difficult for human beings to be neutral just the way it is our biology our psychology makes us want to pick

a side to to root for someone even if it isn't our fight so it is in belarus a huge divide neighbor against neighbor brother against brother journalist against journalist there are a pseudo t.v. personalities that create national networks and improve this against the president against the elections against the other side i have decided that my broadcast today on bill reese one was the last one nobody influenced this decision i took it myself there are not many of us but we exist. vera correct me cover hoost of good morning belarus sergey because low which presenter to tiana brought kidda and vladimir bercow who snuck in and try to claim the credit. until recently i presented the arsenal military program in paris one i'm no longer

a presenter of this t.v. project i resigned myself and it wasn't easy the people want justice the people don't want lies the people want freedom so you may have come away with a sense that he resigned over the elections like like others who sacrificed their livelihoods their income as an act of protest vladimir didn't know no that's just him trying to claim the credit. it is absolutely unclear from the message when the present to of the program and in my opinion this was done on purpose the t.v. company said goodbye to a dimmer a month ago followed as the showman successfully got in on the act bottom feeders are nothing new they swamp everything in times of hardship of desperation you'll find them on television trying to wiggle their way into the spotlight when things are tough to play and profit in people's misery you'll find them on live and blogs in social media shouting the loudest pointing and screaming lying and misleading

we live in an era of fakes of fake heroes fake opinions and think news she walked around spread men's legs and purposefully sadistically struck at the group she would heated their testicles and called them scum one man who looked about 50 she beat in the groom while standing on his legs he later told me his hips were all blue kareena about 30 is blonde and not that 2 she was dressed in uniform and had a mask on her face remember what i said about taking sides you likely aren't from belarus yet hearing this story one can't help but feel revolted and many belorussians were hearing this the the witch hunt but gad soon they found this alleged corrina all christina and people went after her threatening to kill her to

murder her family a reward was posted for her address they got the wrong woman. has been forced to record this because of harrison and threats and insults towards me and my family as a result of false information on the internet please help me share this so that lies don't spread further and done to her me and my family. christina is a gym instructor at the interior ministry not a guard at the jail where the alleged torture happened oh they apologized afterwards after terrifying and traumatizing and threatening to kill her and her family they said sorry they said sorry and then posted another picture of another christina who might have been the woman from the story and went after and let's not forget about the bear that's coming for better or worse for a while now internet users have been sharing videos of military convoys allegedly russian that are moving towards bellerose there are 2 plausible explanations why

they still haven't arrived russian military trucks are just really slow like incredibly slow like walking speed you could walk from moscow to better us in about a week the other explanation is that there aren't any russian armies moving towards belarus. they recorded these videos without realizing that they were below russian armored personnel carriers not russian and they were moving towards the western border because we decided that we needed to take additional measures to protect the sovereignty and independence we could go on and on thinks about preparing to free the country thinks about the opposition leaders i.q. been very low fakes stupidity reinforced with hysteria and decorated with the. ghastly than i we foreign policy teacher said but i'll compare the situation in batteries to that is wild. we do not recognize him as the

legitimate president nor do we recognize nicolas maduro from this point of view maduro and lucas shanker in exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing that them a critic which is missing this one is cynical to hear from you know people you know because we know what the position of the european union at this hour when it comes to a regime change policy that is hong kong. also in the past in ukraine. lately in serbia so all listen to all this have to listen to just a picture of seoul but they have to hold back all for salt and understand. this is one of maybe 2 last europe which is not taking. it

from the west from nato from the u.s. or the from the european of being the union of the gandhi is functioning of much better than most of the. day next to go which it would fall of the. european union of all of the west. watching at international celebrity this hour sicily orders all migrants at a reception center is there a coronavirus concerns we'll have the details of the stories just after the break. join me every 1st day on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

well again now in the capital of lebanon stranded workers of west african origin are sleeping rough 5 side their country's embassies and consulates hoping to fly home many women abandoned by employers in beirut who can no longer afford to pay them in the country's economic crisis ok activists are trying to raise funds to buy them plane tickets home we heard from some of the women. i'm pregnant and i'm in the street because i want to go home. like right now i don't have a place to stay in the streets and my aim is to go home i came to lebanon. because i was coming. to look for what i was coming to work for that are going to be able to go my family my own kids and my siblings as well. but what i came and saw it was not what i was waiting to see when i came here it was different thing i came to durban on to work to look for green pastures due to

unemployment in my country so that's a came to ribbon on to to support my family when i came here concerts he asked me money i met the same guess just goes he asked me 200 folks with general info hard dick fuld my last dollar in the $400.00 that is $1100.00 i told him i don't have money and make a must. have in it being the family i was working for they took me back to their office and their fees they keep changing me their houses and i was not getting myself ready for like 6 months. well the massive chemical blasts that ripped through the capital early this month left economic devastation and growing reports to have people unable to feed themselves a human rights activist told us that the west african women are essentially part of a modern day slavery system i've been under streets for a week now hoping the kenyan women in baghdad are facing their consulate.

they've been here actually for 2 weeks but we didn't know about it earlier their problem they are facing in lebanon is due to the system which is modern day slavery they are working with no sir leary's. no law over working sometimes they are abused and at the end of the day they were thrown under street by their employers facing the consulate. now the governor of sicily has ordered the closure of all migrant reception centers on the island now mr met she also wants to expel all the refugees from me from sicily over coronavirus fears. by midnight on monday all migrants in the hotspots never assuption sentences or will have to be transferred to structures outside the island without delay it is not possible to guarantee their stay on the island and compliance with health measures to prevent contagion. there has been

a string of outbreaks story break out from refugee holding centers including by those who tested positive for k. with 19 troops are being deployed to to the island to ensure that immigrants stick to quarantine rules however interior ministry officials in rome are reportedly refusing to take the migrants the governor of sicily has ordered francesco barely president of the future nation think tank warns the situation on the island is out of control. governor of sicily no longer needs she decided to close the hot war for ringback immigrants and but the central government see that this hot spot can't be closer because the control of the hearts closed to the off national competence so the government is to want to get it the control of all parts was to take the responsibility of insisting because this is an issue in sicily is how of control thousands of meters erodes every day eat in that sicilian and there is also

is some retiree point of view that is very important to a little because it's the same 1000 people from italy but also earth the tourists from all over europe all over the world want to go to sicily they have to do a lot of destiny because of the growth of those they have to do a lot of control but in the same time the cells are of meters you know are called the sort the situation is out of control and if the government see that that the hotspots the national interest is sort of the government has to give it ourselves this. design is in west africa according to boycott popular colorful clothing called wax print which is closely associated with the region the problem is much of the textile is not actually made in africa but rather in europe and locals calling it a legacy of colonialism. different
