target of a possible poisoning attack with all the nurses or 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 charité. the suspicion here is that someone poisoned mist in the valley something which we've been fortunate to have seen in russia's recent history that's why i think the world takes the suspicion very seriously while at the same time is just as i 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 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 going from siberia to moscow during that flight and had to make an

9:05 am
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 no one is being forthcoming yet this fight this lack of evidence pointing to what happened to alexei in the funny that hasn't stopped some in the media from claiming that the kremlin was behind his poisoning so. does a lot of killing. 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 angle americal stefan 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 bring them to you here on

r.t. . peter then ella began to the sollie the journey from the chimney said the left party believes that unless there is hard evidence it is pure speculation that he was poisoned. where are the facts they just pretend that they know facts and intelligence agencies have fact that they cannot disclose fact that the public is too stupid to understand so just lay out the. and then we can make a judgment on all but all those facts and they remain hidden and they probably don't even exist i think all media reports that are reporting that he was pardoned without basing that on any kind of evidence at all i'm just purely anti russian it's theory most of the western media has been out of that basically what is it trusts 8 and when you are on
9:07 am
a crusade you don't need anything back so they could be inconvenient for your crusade against the russian government or the russian people. better he sent a 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.

that was the come on the drink lots of 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 meter 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. but despite a heavy military presence there there were no arrests and this latest demonstration did pass off pace fully with that incident alexander lukashenko meanwhile thanked his offices. it. isn't. good for simple. little so. what president did arrive by helicopter at the presidential palace in the capital surrounded by protesters he was shown wearing a flak jacket and carrying a kalashnikov rifle video though caused
9:09 am
a swirl of false reports of luka shank actually fleeing the capital not the 1st example of a fake news is not against the reports 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 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 slew of t.v. personalities of great national networks and improve that's the gets the president against the elections against the other side i have decided that my broadcast today on belarus one was the last one nobody influenced this decision i took it myself there are not man no vice but we exist. vera correct me cover hoost of good morning belarus sergey because lovitz presenter to tiana brought kidda anchor and
9:10 am
vladimir bercow who snuck in and try to claim the credit. until recently i presented the us to 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 that vladimir didn't know no that's just him trying to claim the credit but 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 a showman successfully gotten on the act bottom feeders are nothing new they swamp
9:11 am
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 think 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 corrina 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 take. king sides you likely aren't from belarus yet hearing this story one can't help but feel revolted and many

9:13 am
forget about the bear that's coming for better us 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 for 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 that 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 fakes about preparing to free the country thinks about the opposition leader's i.q.
9:14 am
been very low fakes stupidity reinforced with hysteria and decorated with the. while the country does remain split between pro and anti-government supporters ahead of sunday's rally the government advice supporters to stay at home to avoid provocations the foreign policy chief meanwhile compared the situation in better reste to venezuela. we do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize nicolas maduro from this point of view. 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 their democratic legitimacy the red line is the fact is there today european union doesn't recognize the legitimacy of these elections because of some electoral fraud many.
9:15 am
many analysts need to end sure who knows and that's why. this from terrorism is something that simi are and i mean there you are perspective of course it's true to without international observers in the elections and you know quite difficult to just something really and we know probably don't know the extent. to which she is of course in the home asked last. fruit. ok let's just bring you some news just in because the russian foreign ministry has handed a protest note to the austrian ambassador in moscow after vienna declared a russian diplomat persona non-grata earlier today the orchestra and foreign ministry announced it was expelling the diplomats claiming his activities did contradict the vienna convention on diplomatic relations media reports claim he
9:16 am
suspected of industrial espionage and has been given until the end of the month to leave an accounting move for north korean diplomat in russia has also been declared persona non grata. this news just in of course we'll bring you more info as we get it you're watching our table have more news here just off. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person those words. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.
9:17 am
seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out this day. and in again. trail. one song find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so again you with r.t. now the greens have been kicked off the ballot in the u.s. state of montana after democrats allege the republicans finance them to splinter the left wing vote state democrats pressured green supporters to revoke their
9:18 am
support over the republican link but even the party short of signatures to register so let's get the lowdown then from us green party communications manager michael o'neill he's with us now and get off the main she michael i suppose the question is what evidence is there to back up those claims that republicans did actually back the green candidates in montana. well. i think that it's important take a step back and look at that this was a valid petition that was filed people were asked if they wanted to sign a petition to have green party candidates on the ballot in the general election in november now we are not naive about republican motives for wanting to circulate a petition for a 3rd party or an independent candidate however. the logic of those republican operatives is that a candidate can take votes away from another candidate and the greens reject that argument it's impossible to take away a vote from
9:19 am
a candidate until that vote has been cast until the vote has been cast the vote belongs to the voter and so if these voters signed a valid petition of their own free will but they want to see green party candidates on the ballot in november that petition should stand and if we want to get dark money or misleading financing out of politics great let's have fully public financed campaigns the way the greens have been fighting for for decades and that democrats and republicans as a cartel have fought against tooth and nail. to understand why some of your supporters would be uncomfortable with paving that republicans were backing. the greens in one montana. i certainly can what we have jack to however is the harassment intimidation and shaming of people who sign this petition that has gone on in montana we have heard from greene's saying that people were called 15 times 25 times demanding that they recant their signature on
9:20 am
a petition we're talking about private citizens the elderly people having notaries sent to their homes the implication being that these people out there who object to their signature on a petition know where they live know their address and so what we've seen is a kind of weaponization really throughout this entire campaign year because of the covert crisis of the petitioning process we really shouldn't have candidates or people out there going door to door at all during a pandemic it's one of the myriad ways this country has mishandled this crisis and so number one you have candidates and parties that should have been granted emergency relief from petitioning because it's an inherently unsafe to do during a public health crisis and number 2 the people who did sign a petition again of their own free will are being harassed and called 15 or 25 times it's unacceptable what can you do about this then can you appeal this decision you know that. even that we see now in so i go yes andy
9:21 am
and appeal was filed in the 9th circuit of the federal appeals court that was filed on thursday also the secretary of state of montana i'm told has filed an emergency appeal also to the u.s. supreme court and so ultimately that could see green candidates get back on the ballot could. certainly and that is what we want we want for our green party candidates to appear on the november ballot and we want voters have the greatest choice possible we want our nominees for president how we hawkins and vice president angela walker to be on the case the ballot along with state candidates and local candidates and we are about grassroots democracy what is going to give voters more choice and what's going to vote what's going to make their vote mean more in the election if democrats or republicans don't like the results of simple plurality elections when you have more than 2 candidates and they call that
9:22 am
a so-called spoiler effect then it's the system that spoiled not the candidates spoiling the election let's talk about rank choice voting like we have in maine and is on the ballot in massachusetts let's talk about proportional representation which would help combat gerrymandering and give so much greater voice in diversity in our representative government from the voters do you think this is a taste of things to come then ahead of this presidential race. we have been going through a gauntlet of obstruction for this entire year this year was always going to be crazy because democrat entitlement syndrome is at an all time high and they think that the only thing that they need to do is present themselves as being marginally better than donald trump donald trump is a monster a racist a sexist and a corrupt demagogue however the people of this country deserve more. than just
9:23 am
a choice between that and people who are promising to be only slightly less corrupt than that and so really what it comes down to is that real solutions cannot wait the eco socialist green new deal being put forward by the green party the solutions that we have towards more fair elections towards economic justice and economic democracy these are things that people are demanding more and more and we see more and more people demanding turn of parties to vote for so that's what we're fighting for the covert $1000.00 pandemic has exasperated all of that like i said it has made ballot access petitioning inherently unsafe and we have had to sue multiple states in order to get relief from going door to door during a pandemic which in danger is the community and the candidates who seek to represent that community were still fighting it to get on the ballot in the courts in places like wisconsin and pennsylvania you have democrats in elected offices who
9:24 am
are just fighting tooth and nail against people exercising their sacred right to run for office and a democracy and oklahoma we have to pay a 30 $5000.00 filing fee to get on the ballot that is it's a ransom they hold the axis of the ballot as a kind of hostage to maintain their $2.00 party cartel so at least sounds like a big uphill struggle for the moment i could tell you michael going to have to leave it there we were not to tom that was michael o'neill the u.s. green party communications manager thank you. now in the capital lebanon workers of west african origin are sleeping rough outside their country's embassies and consulates too hoping to fly home many women abandoned by employees in beirut who can no longer pay them in the country's economic crisis local 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 hole. like
