11:01 am
hello good evening welcome you're watching r.t. international where it's just gone 6 o'clock am in the russian capital our german medical clinic now says it has found traces of a substance that affects the body's nervous system in alexina valmy the russian opposition activist who did fall gravely ill on a flight to moscow last week he's currently in a coma that he used has come to after russian doctors who initially treated about only claim that they couldn't find any toxins in his blood and have said they are willing to share the findings with their german colleagues let's get more information now from. peter oliver he joins us from outside the medical facility where the activist is being treated pater good evening again a major development here isn't it german. it is now coming out saying that actually
11:02 am
in fact yes we believe he may have been poisoned. well yes the top line of the statement put out by shell it's a hospital says that alexei navalny was poisoned that they claimed or found substances in his body. called colistin inhibits is there a substance that attacks the nervous system the rest of the body of the statement doesn't use the word poison and it mentions him being it says he was intoxicated by a toxic substance there's no word just yet of what they say toxic substance could be it is of course not up to doctors to proportion blame in these matters now this goes against what we heard coming out of russia out of the clinic in which they said they couldn't find any toxic substance or sign of a poison in alexei move on the system in fact the clinic in his offered up all of the tests that they did all of the results to the clinic here in berlin to try
11:03 am
to get to the bottom of what his lay in the valley so gravely ill we can hear what the clinic in arms had to say. functionally it would have been easier for us to choose a treatment strategy for we had known for a fact that we would dealing with poisoning but it took a while to overclock would receive results from 2 lobes one in tomsk and the other in moscow they both said that no substance that could be classified as poison had been firmed it was important for us to remove the poisoning theory so we could do a better job treating mist in the valley. well before this statement came out since still while the everything remains unknown as to what happened to alexina valmy there was trial by media taking place with the finger of blame being pointed by so directly at the kremlin. so. just a lot of cheering. particularly likes oil. you don't need
11:04 am
a security clearance to know that the kremlin has a track record of poisoning its critics. so the hospital here in berlin says russian opposition figure alexina violently was intoxicated by a substance that would have attacked his nervous system going against a diagnosis that have come through from russian doctors saying they have found no such talks and still a lot of questions hanging over this case as we look to what laid me so low so ill he remains in a stable but serious condition in a coma here in berlin. thanks for the update there that was artie's peter all of it in berlin earlier we spoke with beyond to the sollie he is from the left party in germany and he says much of what has been reported so far has been pure speculation . where are the facts they just pretend that they know facts and intelligence agencies have fact that they cannot disclose off track that the public is too
11:05 am
stupid to understand so just lay out the cats and then we can make our judgement on our own but all those facts are hidden and they remain hidden and they probably don't even exist i think all media reports that are reporting that he was poisoned without basing that on any kind of evidence at all i just purely and to ration its theory most of the western media has been out of basically what is that trust saved and when you are on a crusade you don't need any facts they could be inconvenient or for your prostate against the russian government or the russian people. you want to promote a crown has broken out between russia and austria after vienna said it was expelling a russian diplomat media reports claim it is linked to spying allegations with more details now his own quarter. this was
11:06 am
a marriage decision by russia to declare the sauce train diplomat persona non-grata it came not long after the austrian foreign ministry declared a russian diplomat persona non grata on monday and gave him an ultimatum to leave the country before september 1st the austrian ambassador to russia was just summoned to the russian foreign ministry to discuss the issue the decisive protest was expressed to the ambassador of austria is unfounded decision to withdraw accreditation from a russian diplomat and over the demand for the diplomat to leave the territory of the republic of austria to be in line with the principle of reciprocity treat the diplomats at the embassy of the republic of austria and russia has been declared persona non grata according to media reports the authorities believe that this russian diplomat was engaged in espionage activities collaborating with an austrian national in breach of the vienna convention on diplomatic relations but we have no evidence of any of these alleged spy activities his name wasn't disclosed and we
11:07 am
have no official confirmation from the authorities so while this story has gotten a lot of attention very little can be verified at this point. better essent to the 3rd week of unrest but no sign of the numbers of protests as both for and against the president declining on sunday the capital minsk saw a massive anti-government march there which did attract tens of thousands leaving red and white flags demonstrators demanded that the president resigns over what they say was a rigged election. it. was
11:08 am
. a it was a come on to the guts of sort 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 metre away from the right police and the yard so far there haven't been any provocation but the protesters and the armed forces are very close to war in iraq i . would aspire to heavy military presence that there were no arrests in this latest demonstration did pass off pace fully how xander lukashenko meanwhile thanks to riot police the point. is that i. think that just for simple. little soft. ahead of sunday's rally the government advised probably crag's to stay home to avoid any confrontation on saturday thousands had come out in support of the under fire president meanwhile
11:09 am
a group that coordinates opposition protests in belarus has been found posting questionable news on social media and one posted claim a man found hanged after going missing was a protester who'd been beaten up that post was later amended with the identity change from pope protester to just a man it also said that claims about the injuries were not proven but it's not the 1st such case of false information coming from the protests 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 the to root for someone even if it isn't our fight so it isn't better or worse a huge divide neighbor against neighbor brother against brother journalist against journalist there are a suit of t.v. personalities of great national networks and improve hest against the president
11:10 am
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 manno virus but we exist vera correctly cover hoost of good morning belarus sergey because lo which presenter to tiana brought kidda and vladimir bercow who snuck in and try to claim the credit. until recently i presented the us to military program on batteries 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. 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
11:11 am
just him trying to claim the credit line it is absolutely unclear from the message when the prison to have the program and to 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 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

a guard at the jail where the alleged torture happened oh they apologized afterwards after terrified 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 her and let's not forget about the bear that's coming for better or worse for a while now into that users have been sharing videos of military convoys allegedly russian that are moving towards belarus 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
11:14 am
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 fakes about preparing to free the country thinks about the opposition leaders i.q. been very low fakes me divide stupidity reinforced with hysteria and decorated with the. but i'd guess the if there were the european parliament's committee on foreign affairs is to hold an emergency meeting on better routes on tuesday. challenger in the disputed election who were earlier met with the us 1st deputy secretary of state is g. to attend that in brussels meanwhile the u.s. foreign policy chief has compared the situation in better roost to venezuela. we do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize nicolas maduro
11:15 am
from this point of view. 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 which is missing this one a cynical will to hear from the european union because we know what the position of the european union it is or when it goes through a regime. that is hong kong. or they also look past in ukraine. so all this into all this isn't just a bit of soul if the whole bag of salt on the stone. below is 1 of may we will ask the europe which is not. from the worst from nato from the us all from the european a b.

11:17 am
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 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 the democrats and republicans as a cartel have fought against tooth and nail. in the continuing fallout of the devastating blast that happened in beirut twice african workers there have taken to
