well the world of politics sports business i'm sure i'll see you there. the kremlin expresses concern about an investigation into the alleged poisoning of opposition activists alexina valmy president spokesperson claims there are no grounds yet to any criminal probe as a range of different medical theories have been ruled down. one of the dots is the 1st treated in a valley in russia says threats have been made against him and his family. my personal it my family my children have received dozens of physical threats and god will judge those people who treated me not this sleep those threats were not his fault. in the u.s. rises in wisconsin set shops and cars on fire and throw bottles at police officers
12:01 pm
shot a black man in the back and we look back at a colorful 1st day of the republican national convention as it officially nominate strong for a 2nd term. hello there just gone 7 o'clock in the evening here in moscow you're watching international now the kremlin has dismissed as info noise claims that the opposition activist telex had been poisoned the presidential spokesperson to me said no substance has been identified and the number of different medical theories haven't been ruled out and it does come after the german clinic now treating the russian activist said it had found the talks in in his system. we cannot take seriously the accusations that russian authorities ordered in the valley to be poisoned these are accusations which combine no means be true and are likely what i
12:02 pm
would describe as info noise my german colleague was quick to point to poisoning but he should have mentioned the possibility of a 2nd 3rd 4th version to all those possibilities which are doctors we're looking at you can't single out one version at this point in the valley was airlifted to berlin on saturday he is still in a coma there but his condition is described as stable peter over now has more details from outside the medical facility. dimitri pierce golf went on to say that the findings of the clinic. were grounds on their own just start a criminal investigation that's very much a difference of opinion then we've heard from the high representative for foreign affairs. who's called on moscow to try and get to the bottom with a clear and full investigation of what happened to all x. in. it is imperative that russian authorities initiate an independent and transparent investigation on the poisoning of nivelle neat russian people as well
12:03 pm
as the international community are demanding the facts those responsible must be held to account if the division's is identified it is determined that it was an intentional act of poisoning then of course that would give grounds for an investigation no doubt so for there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused have on these condition. calls for an investigation of also being coming from german chancellor angela merkel and german foreign minister. and what we understand coming through on tuesday is that the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is preparing a briefing the president trump on the situation regarding alexei navalny all of this coming after the clinic here in berlin released a statement on monday saying that they found a toxic substance during tests on alexina valmy the clinical findings indicate intoxication by substance from the group of active substances called cloning is to raise inhibitors the outcome of the disease remains uncertain and long term effects
12:04 pm
especially in the area of the nervous system cannot be ruled out at this point in time all of that same direct contradiction to what we heard coming out of the hospital in russia in the city where he was 1st treated they said they found no traces of any synthetic talks in in his system and that they are willing to share all of that information with the hospital here in berlin as we're trying get to the bottom of what happened to alexei novelli who remains in a serious but stable condition here in berlin in an induced coma peter of reporting a senior research fellow at the global policy institute towards the main he does believe we may not see many solid facts presented in this case. the question is are the germans prepared to share their findings all of the little laboratory findings there pull all the medical tests that they undertook on the ground the are they
12:05 pm
prepared to share them with the russian doctors if they're now if they try to do work to reason made did with discrete paths and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian authorities so the russians could make an independent assessment as what the german scientists of found there it's hard to see where the russians are only are under any obligation to conduct the full investigation as they look we don't know that he was poisoned our doctors say that he wasn't so why should we just accept what the germans say when the germans refuse to provide us with any scientific basis to assess their find it is now russian doctor who initially treated the valley when he 1st fell ill says he's received online threats it does come after russian medics claimed they could find no trace of any toxins in his body. says i personally my family my children have received dozens of physical threats you know i'm not hiding my personal life and of course it didn't affect
12:06 pm
anything god will judge those people who treated me about only not this leak those threats were not his fault. so as we heard them the substance the german clinic says it's found in the valley system belongs to the family of code in s. the res inhibitors they are a group of chemicals that affect the nervous system they are you staying in krug's for treating illnesses such as outside ms and other forms of dementia. these agents are used all the time in an operating room you know through 1st normal patient care what happens with some patients says it what it does is create a large amount of acetylcholine acetylcholine is a normal acting medication that we haven't neurotransmitter however it's to hide everything in balance in life it can cause death to patients and obviously if there's a cloistering the you know it's very specific that's why the russian government may not be looking for it maybe the germans were looking for this that's why they found the amount of pseudo coaling was exceptionally high in this patient obviously the
12:07 pm
more time that passes for when the intervention happened to it to this point the heart is going to trace specter what substances were used clearly they have identified it now that they've identified it they can give support of care for this patient agreeable law and then after that it becomes more a forensic expert you know purpose. donald trump has been formally nominated to run for a 2nd term as president at the republican national convention. the man who puts america 1st and will keep america great president donald john truong i come from the great state of montana we are affectionately calling it trump tanna we believe in promises made and promise is louisiana probably casts its 46 votes for president double chain trump and we know that the best is yet to come. any night of the convention to troll plenty of parallel state to trump's time
12:08 pm
on reality television this kind of muffin x. banks because the man who fired people on reality t.v. and now on donald trump is setting up a reality t.v. show to make sure that he won't be fired from the white house by the american people this november each episode during the republican national convention features donald trump and members of his family it's all called honoring the great american story. land of heroes. great. this over the next 4 nights since we write the next chapter. share our vision is the greatest country with the greatest citizens paying the greatest achievement. so with each day having a theme and nightly surprises the donald is looking to trump joe biden's performance with the democrats' convention but over the last week the democrats
12:09 pm
held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in american history it will be the most boring repetitive dull mean spirited convention in history and of course we all get a heavy dose of hatred and rage and cult like madness psychosis has stereo against all things donald trump this year's convention of the republican party has been dubbed the people's convention and the people have chosen for speakers. their convention on the opening night the couple who pointed their guns at black lives matter protesters as they walked outside their mansion now that 1st taste of media spotlight has gotten this couple felony charges donald trump calls it a disk rates and the couple says they're thirsty for more at this moment in history if you stand up for yourself and for the values our country was founded on the mob spurred on by their allies and the media will try to destroy you president trump
12:10 pm
will defend their god given right of every american to protect their homes and their families the themes are coming thick and fast tuesday is the land of opportunity wednesday is the land of heroes and thursday it is the land of greatness yes you heard that right that's the night when donald trump will be accepting the nomination of the republican party at the white house surrounded by supporters now many people are lapping it up but not all of them for the same details for example c.n.n. says that it's the boring over the details and that will cut away from the reality t.v. show if it strays too far from reality and the television networks going to interesting choices to make interesting decisions to make about whether to cut away if there's this stream of december mation happening live seeing as they did not do this at the democratic national convention outrage about cnn's announcement is certainly not hard to find on the internet.
12:11 pm
3 episodes of this reality t.v. show convention are left no doubt they'll be moments of pure cringe drama and high comedy but republicans are really hoping that this is a reality t.v. show that won't prove to be a turnoff it will mop and artsy new york while the green party's michael o'neill does believe that most media coverage of the big conventions is biased. i think that each corporate cable news network has their own constituency and their own marketing demographic that they are catering to and so you will have fox news which will be very aggressive about reporting on allegedly wrongdoings on the
12:12 pm
part of the democratic party and then you'll have m s n b c or c.n.n. which will be very aggressive about providing documentation on the wrongdoings of donald trump and the republicans meanwhile c.n.n. and the sunday see will ignore the rank injustices and undemocratic practices of the democratic party so they're not really engaging in news they just have a market that they've identified that they are catering to and the idea of a complete objectivity i don't think is useful but also the idea of just tailoring your news coverage specifically to make your particular slice of the american people feel good is also a negative trend. in other news rises in the u.s. have set still was on fire 3 bottles security forces in the 2nd night of violence and in wisconsin a massive cleanup operation is now underway in the city which was left in shock.
12:13 pm
protest is called for justice a black man in the show multiple times in the back by police on sunday the incident was caught on camera and seeing when. set off fireworks and police then responded take us. analysts for their take on what happened. the media would just have you believe that he was just going to check on his children that he was a hero and he broke up a fight with 2 women unfortunately c.n.n. although they didn't broadcast this part and i haven't heard it anywhere else they did write a story online where they spoke to the guy who shot this video that we've all seen the gentleman said i came in with a video camera in the middle he said when i got there when it what i 1st saw before
12:14 pm
the camera roll was this suspect rolling around wrestling cops on the ground also police dispatch said that the suspect jacob black lake did not belong there and police dispatch said that he took the complaints keys away this is all in the c.n.n. report so these are things that are not being reported when a cop tells you to do something you do it believe the issues of institutional racism in this country i mean i remember back originally when black wives matter 1st started were trayvon martin and then you know you had mike brown or gardner and you had case after case of these shootings of young men and women across the country were officers were never really held accountable for that and you had protests throughout these kind of false you know. dog and pony show styled fixes of the institutionalism without really addressing it without really. you know taking it to task of really changing the culture and the nature of
12:15 pm
this country that that allowed. going to happen so no it doesn't surprise me that we're seeing once again george floyd now this man in wisconsin it's. not going to change until there is real actual change and there's crockery and that doesn't come from just politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms would never happen. now rallies are currently taking place both for and against the government in the belorussian capital minsk it does come more than 2 weeks after president alexander lukashenko claimed he'd won yet another term in office although the opposition says that he stole it protestors at the anti-government rally are clapping hands and chanting slogans calling for the president's acquits although the situation does remain peaceful there at the moment we have been looking at some live pictures it is estimated there are around a 1000 people there now at the same time approach because shanker rallies taking place to even a different location where demonstrators are waving the national flag as you can
12:16 pm
see that weathered so you hasn't put off those supporters from both sides making their voices heard. so that's how we're looking so far the saving malaria around $200.00 teachers their supporters along with journalists and bloggers gathered outside the ministry of education demanding the minister there came outside to talk to them meanwhile the country's opposition leaders spoke to the european parliament for peace in claims that the election is really. the current crisis since you know what in there we actually organise 9 by the opinion of the majority of observer s. the electoral process was deeply. the election itself was marked with thousands of violations well the most respected observers of the electoral process that again is asian for security and cooperation in europe when not invited to observe the
12:17 pm
election. their visual results of the election they're forced to fight and rejected by the bill are recent people and the majority of the international community. well solana taken off sky there fled to neighboring lithuania shortly after the vote she claims that the government left her no choice while her husband remains in prison it her speech she also slammed the police brutality that we have seen during the massive demonstrations over the last few days and says to you that the process have been paced full however security forces claim that isn't the full picture and there are in fact 2 sides to every story she gushed out of now explains. when it comes to protests in belarus you must have seen footage like this all like this all like this that was an infamous day as news junkies around the world stooge shocked by the brutality of baton rouge police caught.
12:18 pm
up. with. this picture went viral at 1st many assumed wrongly the man on the ground was dead so what happened that day but well we found the officer who is in this picture and he told us his version of events. long. it turned out later he had a severe alcohol and drug overdose we had the guy when he felt really bad but no matter how badly he behaved that evening we tried to get him to the ambulance which was 100 meters from us he was unconscious he just lay down i tried to wake him up and once people standing not far from me started screaming let him go let him go i told them that i was trying to provide medical assistance but they didn't hear me
12:19 pm
and screamed let him go i stood up showed my hand saying i let him go so what and he's still on the ground and they don't know what to say my colleague brought medics they helped him right there and took him to the hospital. the man turned out to be ok and went on to become a media favorite dishing out interviews. i don't know probably 3 maybe 4 people surrounded me my brother was there with me too it all happened so fast they just drag me into the party wagon one photograph 2 very different accounts at 1st glance it may look like a meme something being made light of on line but in reality it's a metaphor for how polarized the media war with the protests and bellows has become anti government demonstrators enjoy the support most of outlets from every continent in many languages offices from the security forces are telling me they feel that the world is deaf to their words like when their families and children
12:20 pm
are getting death threats. we were facing how parents in kindergarten taught their children such phrases your father is a murderer your father beach people and the children come home and ask their mother a question is it true that our father is a murderer how can you say this about a man who protects his people constitutional order and territorial integrity. i ask them about all the videos showing the men in full riot gear severely beating peaceful protests. there's this eerie they aren't proud of but insists the big picture matters but that's not what the use of force doesn't make us look good especially if we use for stews to emotions we shouldn't do it but it was that time when people came at us with sticks and rocks and we had to end that mess that. people did not come to peaceful rallies with molotov cocktails with sticks and
12:21 pm
stones and they don't try to run over military and internal affairs officers with their cars last sunday suit tens of thousands of anti-government protesters making their voices heard peacefully from this legion no one was arrested or detained it seems there's finally a truce between law enforcement and protesters but a fragile one i'm being told it seems both sides will need to keep their emotions in check and we've done of reporting from. our to see. how the 1st case in the world has been documented in hong kong a person becoming infected for a 2nd time with corona virus genome sequence of the virus strain in the 1st episode a covert 19 infection is clearly different from the genome sequence of the virus strain found during the 2nd episode of infection 3 infected patients is a 33 year old man described as healthy he 1st contracted covert back in march where
12:22 pm
he was hospitalized with a cough and favor as his symptoms cleared he was then discharged after testing negative for the corona virus however earlier this month he returned to hong kong from spain 5 u.k. and he tested positive again on arrival or though had no symptoms let's get the thoughts now simon clark is a microbiologist from the reading of earth the and we appreciate your time tonight simon how significant is this case t. think. or it's it's actually quite significant because we've had reports previously a few months ago of people seemingly being reinserted with a virus we couldn't really be sure whether in fact me just got some virus hanging around from the initial infection and their need system have cleared it properly they have got rid of all the symptoms but they could have a little bit of virus to anger around although there was just some bad bits of the virus and they were picked up by
12:23 pm
a diagnostic tests which can be very sensitive what we now know from this study is that service person go reinfected with a different version of the same virus so although you and i are both human beings and we deal with acid much the same way we're different it's the same with these 2 versions of the virus they will still cause disease we're still doing the same way but because we can identify differences between we can exclude the possibility that is just some virus from the 1st action that's hanging around is there a danger there in that we might read too much into this i say this because some people are saying look we don't know whether this chap was an outlier a many millions of other cases people won't get reinfected how much can we be certain that this is so significant. well it is only one person you're quite right but it's proof of principle 'd when this all started there were lots of people
12:24 pm
going around. in all countries around the world saying once you have it you can't give it a 2nd time and they said that without having any real proof will that have any proof at all or any real reason to think that a course in psychosis is not a reasonable one but it was based on 0 evidence so it's important that we understand that it is possible even if it turns out and it will if we were only no overcome it's even if it turns out that it's a very rare occurrence do you think this trend console lessens the case for vaccinations again skank. i don't think it makes much of a difference either way necessarily it could mean that makes it it's more difficult to generate an immune response with a vaccine we know that generating responses with the gates coronaviruses with vaccines before it's being quite difficult but vaccines can sometimes do generate the immune response in a different way to the natural infection so it's not
12:25 pm
a given but a vaccine won't work just because this finding as it's been observed should we be relieved that this chappie got reinfected the 2nd time his symptoms were very mild in fact i don't even think he realised he had symptoms of coronavirus i mean if that is the case should we be worried about a 2nd being a 2nd b infections where you can look at it in 2 ways one it possibly that his immune response while it's not strong enough to prevent the infection strong enough to damp down the infection. sort of stopping the symptoms from. taking hold the flipside of that is that maybe the unity will wait a bit more. and we'll we'll see more severe cases of reinfection i'm afraid you've just got to sit and watch and wait without one all around the world people are busy trying to find as we've been talking about a vaccine for k.v.
12:26 pm
19 does this suggest that any vaccine we would eventually get wouldn't last that long and wouldn't be effective for that long if the virus can sort of you know new tape new forms of it reappear with us another off of that so there's a possibility that immunity might not last very long. and there is a possibility that there are changes in the virus and that's why we have the flu vaccine every year because looting is quite pretty much more quickly after say these types of viruses so yeah it's entirely possible but we manage with flu so this is not itself is. something that necessarily needs to worry too much about on the much more general point what she think is the most effective way to counter coronavirus. by social distancing by observing good cough and car conference these outskirts like humans have clearly by being sensible about things and where one goes it one interacts with sure with regard to people
12:27 pm
invaluable gets groups who might be watching to see. me just knowing my own parents at home you know they haven't gone house for months i mean they go in the garden but that's pretty much it should we be looking at relaxing or perhaps coming up with new recommendations for people in battle groups or should they just feel as though they should be locked away. in the future. shielding of groups people with serious underlying medical conditions significantly higher risk as and it. that show the virus population is so low so people need not worry too much even my 98 year old grandmother who is going out and about sound during life as much as a 98 year old so i would invite people to like her so be sensible and observe proper id practices. are not going to be if this rule my life
12:28 pm
and i wouldn't recommend anybody else that's either ok so i may look great until she thanks for the advice to you and we appreciate your time tonight that was simon clarke microbiologists from reading university thank you. mr it's approaching half past 70 here moscow appreciate your company today we're back again with headlines and more stories at the top of. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being
12:29 pm
led. direct. what is truth what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallows. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only population of belfast tens of thousands are forced to flee their homes come up with strike and put these attacks was that the r.u.c. the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the take more than a 100 innocent civilians women. as the review can seniors and we found out more i
12:30 pm
was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the solution was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named into then and we're getting i think it went to the very very top i think it is the phones. the water where politicians you thought was going on and give the go ahead. i max kaiser this is kaiser reports some worse the aleutian that's right we talk about problems all year and then summer time we come up with all solutions that say we're being joined by a banker turned big coins.
