headlining a prominent russian opposition activist alexina valmy is out of an induced coma but his alleged nerve agent poisoning and see the wave of accusations directed at the kremlin also ahead. as protests against police brutality in the united states show no sign of easing we look at how the unrest has led to a surge in gun sales. and his extradition trial gets underway in london the wiki leaks founder is wanted in the u.s. to face espionage charges.

or world news from r.t. international calling bray with a moscow news team and the headline stories that we're across this hour 1st for you then the prominence russian opposition activist alexina valmy is out of an induced coma the hospital treating him in berlin made the announcement earlier but it said it's too soon to say if he suffered any long term effects earlier the russian ambassador in london was summoned to the u.k. foreign office over the case he told the meeting they had been nothing but unfounded accusations against russia peter all of the reports next from berlin. of the statement put out by a shot at a hospital here in berlin says that alexei navalny has been woken from the induced coma he's been in for just over 2 weeks that he's starting to breathe on his own and he's responding to verbal stimuli the patient's artificial coma maintained by medication has been ended the patient is gradually being taken off mechanical ventilation he's reacting to being spoken to but long term consequences of severe poisoning cannot be ruled out or berlin claims that alexina volunteer was poisoned

with the deadly nerve agent novacek those claims at least have caused real tensions globally early on monday at the german government press briefing around lunch time there was a question upon question upon a question about whether the only case would affect the north stream to gas pipeline in fact almost every other question about that multinational infrastructure project the line from the german government at the moment is that that is an economic project and it separate from anything to do with the case for now they say that could change in the future but ultimately it pretty much echoes what we've heard coming out of the kremlin to me to the press golf the kremlin spokes person said that it's far too soon to be lumping together novell me with nord stream to moscow had been accusing berlin of dragging its feet when it came to handing over crucial information relating to alexina vonnie particularly the

evidence germany says it has that he was poisoned with a military grade nerve agent or we've heard from the foreign minister germany heiko mass saying wheels are in motion to send information over to russia pursue does increase of we've already agreed to russia's request food legal assistance with all the russian ambassador this when we had a conversation with him last week who told him that and there was a request a legal assistance who would agree to assist there was no reason not to agree to that. well dan you seem to produce a brighter mood from the kremlin spokesman to me to the press golf to a new minister and we have certainly noted the german farmers the statement and the glove that's in the nearest timeframe the information will be delivered and that there are no reasons for this information not to be delivered bearing in mind the high profile of this issue we are counting on receiving the information in the upcoming days we very much awaited meanwhile in london we've heard a different tone from the british government just last week boris johnson the prime

minister pointed a finger squarely at russia saying they were to blame for alexina vollies illness this week we're seeing the foreign secretary dominic robb wheeled out in front of the cameras to say it's far too soon to proportion blame and let's be really clear about this we're not yet in a position to attribute any use of norbert york doesn't matter in this state actor i'm non-state actor is a violation of international law so that latest news alexina valmy is awake from the coma that he's been in for just over 2 weeks and he is responding to verbal stimuli and starting to breathe on his own last hour the c.e.o. of the washington pain center shared his thoughts on of on his recovery. i think 2 things about it i think you're looking at 2 factors number one is how much dose he was given so might have been a very you know a minimal dose or whatever the case might be perhaps seek medical attention fairly quickly so if i can please and but i get medical treatment very quickly i can

probably survive the poisoning of the amount of poison i've been susceptible to those sublevel dose or whatever the case might be there perhaps i can also survive it so there are 2 factors here how much was given and also the appropriateness of the medical care that the patient received positive sign is that he's responding to verbal stimuli this is a pretty high function squeeze my hand with your feet things like that really create new so i think i'm cautiously very optimistic about this patient. more than a 1000 people gathered in the city of rochester in the state of new york overnight demanding accountability for the police killing of a black man the rest that began after video emerged showing police placing a spit hood on daniel prude one officer placed his hands on proof head while another put his knee on pruett back which led to his suffocation death which happened in march will now be investigated by a grand jury meanwhile on saturday the city of portland 100 consecutive days of

black lives matter rallies triggered by the death of george floyd. blew a 59 arrests in the city over the weekend but the protests show no sign of relenting american journalist and author daniel is a belief that the unrest could continue until election day and beyond. but i guess breaking down we're seeing street fighting street fighting going on growing levels both on leftists and rightists. it's a kind of

a slow moving civil war that probably will continue until election day and then no one knows what will happen with the election because american electoral process these are so broken down that it may very well and fighting endless lawsuits and indeterminate no one knows. meanwhile in the state of kentucky hundreds of protesters from rival groups of marched through louisville black lives massive campaigners converged on the city demanding saturday's iconic kentucky derby horse race be council limited still go ahead the activists were also denouncing police violence to pro police militia also march through the city of moore confronted by b.l.m. protesters one american company seems to be cashing in on the rest leading firearms make a smith and wesson has seen sales jumped 140 percent this year that's around $140000000.00 in extra sales daniel is out again belief that the gun boom is symptomatic of the country's political stalemate. both sides are arming i mean there are guns

everywhere what if you go to one of these protests in places like the met midwest or the west you will see guns on both sides and it's very dangerous and because people tend to use these weapons and so but the but there's no force capable of stopping this fighting because i'm it seems to have taken a life of its own and it's just part of the whole political structure which is in and like celebrating break down what i mean america is a is a failed state and it's failing effort more rapidly and these these demonstrations these these the street fighting is a symptom of that. with nationwide unrest against racial injustice likely to stretch all the way to november's presidential election one signs warning that only a joe biden victory can stop the violence democratic politics think tanks insists that anything other than a win for them on will just bring more chaos that story still ahead in this bulletin. next though

a surge of new coronavirus infections in france is seeing restrictions returned in some areas 7 regions have been put on a red list while some schools have closed again barely a week of the reopening. this is the 2nd week of school in france and already some of those schools have had to be closed down because of covert 19 within the institutional last week more than 12000000 peoples went back to the classrooms and that was with some parents and teachers expressing concern about the transmission rates of the virus because they have been really creeping up here in france last week several days there were more than 7000 cases wedged in a 24 hour period 22 schools have been shut in the last week but hundreds and hundreds of classes have also been closed down the education secretary here in france has been outlining when such a decision should be taken. out of the 12 establishments colleges and

schools were closed the main line france considering there are 60000 establishment in the country these numbers remain relatively low in the overseas reunion region we closed down that makes 22 and told on function function well there are now 7 new zones in france that have been declared the red zones this means that they are areas with a high active transmission rate of 19 it means $28.00 regions in total are considered rent in the french area and this allows authorities to impose extra controls to try to cool the transmission of the virus one of the measures that authorities can take when they're in a red zone is to impose something such as the obligation to wear a face mask here in public such as we have in paris which means every street you're in you have to wear a face mask but there is a backlash against such measures like that anti mask sentiment also being shown

elsewhere across europe with protests over the weekend from places such as the u.k. in spain to italy. and you said it. was. meanwhile here in france there are some calls for people to wear face masks specifically from the riders of the tour de france which is making its way through the country at the moment it's big it's fans who are coming out to the streets to wave them as they pass by to be responsible and to wear masks so it seems there is a huge divide still over the measures that are being used to try and curb. that's

wearing a mask whether that's a quarantine or whether that's imposing lockdowns local restrictions the methods being used to remain highly contentious. donald trump may be claiming that only a vote for him will guarantee law and order in the united states but rival democratic party think tanks say another 4 years of him in the white house will only result in more violence on the streets of morgan's brain looking at the collect. in november the us public will get to vote on who becomes president for the next 4 years and cigarettes from the media and political establishment are now preparing the public for possible outcomes something called the transition integrity project created in 2019 is planning for things that could go wrong during the upcoming vote and subsequent transition of power they've been playing out war games and some rather interesting scenarios have been dreamed up with the exception

of the big biden win scenario each fire exercises reach the brink of catastrophe but massive disinform ation campaigns violence in the streets and a constitutional impasse the transition integrity project is not the only outfit sinking along these lines hark fish an outfit funded by michael bloomberg does work for the democratic national committee as well as pro biden super pacs is planning for hypothetical situations that involve mail in voting confusion when every legion of vote is tallied and we get to that final day which will be some day after election day you will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that and the rush it lou played donald trump was in the lead and he fundamentally was not when every ballot gets counted hot fish predicts that such a situation could lead to donald trump refusing to step down and that's rather

similar to the transition integrity project are you seeing a pattern here well the new york times certainly has if trump claims a victory that is not rightly haze a few marches in the streets will not be an adequate response that may have to be a sustained campaign of civic action as in hong kong and bella reuss to rally the majority that wants to preserve democracy that isolates those who would undo it trump is equated with civil unrest so naturally only biden's. victory can save the country from chaos don't buy it and let's not forget another factor being thrown ian allegations of russian interference the allegation is that russia favors trump and denigrates biden so russia must be preemptively punished before the elections even happen to prevent meddling with us to draw upon the conclusion of the intelligence community to identify and target for sanctions all those determined to

be responsible for ongoing election interference including any actives within the government of the russian federation and the russian act is determined to be directly responsible and those acting on their behalf providing material financial support for their efforts russia is also accused of spreading rumors about mail in vote in order to undermine the us elections but it's not really russia that's doing that unless of course the kremlin controls american t.v. networks there are cases from just this last spring or where ballots have gone missing and turned up after the election so what happens when the post office is doing its absolute best as are humans fraud violence mail and voting already happening. not speculating now the election is still 2 months away but they are already put caring for how to handle the results. will be the hero and how they will tell you to react they're already setting a climate where there's going to be massive speculation about which it in

a sea of this election they said the exact same thing in 2016 that sean where it is not going to do you could see the election if you loses and then what happened oh the democrats didn't concede hillary didn't concede we don't want to rush a gate for 2 years if the democrats lose if joe biden loses in fact i think any supporter be smart to not be in there if they learn a liberal city it's not be there on election night they are going to burn the place to the ground they know they're going to lose and so they're already setting up the game to further damage his presidency and to damage his 2nd term should he win so it'll be another scandal it'll be another local i'm absolutely conspiracy theory like russia gate maybe russia gate park too who knows. 60 minutes past the hour hey a year without a on the way off the lengthy legal wrangling and a covert imposed to lay the hearing finally gets underway in london for the wiki leaks founder julian assange which will decide whether he gets extradited to the united states it's an extortion when we come back.

banks guys are fine it looks like. the bell on. this is the central banks the 4 diabolo means kind of coming right down so you stop the. is your media reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world

corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. all over again the 1st day of an extradition hearing for the wiki leaks founder julian assange has wrapped up in london has been postponed for months due to the coronavirus lockdown shot he had stashed a reporter outside london central criminal court. day is of course an incredibly important day for both truth and justice says wiki leaks founder julian assange is back here in court at the old bailey here in central london for the latest hearing proceedings which will ultimately decide whether or not he will be extradited to the united states of course this case was due to be heard much earlier in the year but you took over it 19 pandemic it was postponed until now well very early in the

morning i saw for myself the very van the blacked out found i was carrying to massage into the criminal court but here outside we heard from his father but also from his partner son of morris also mother of his 2 children she was really pleading with the courts for his immediate release so do they really does open up the new it's trapped in almost a decade long attempt to prosecute judy massage for alleged playing a massive role in one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the united states and if found guilty and convicted he could go down for a 175 years as the u.s. has of course indicted him on 18 counts under mostly the espionage act so the u.s. really want him to face trial for spying of publishing these classified documents all related to the war in iraq and afghanistan plus one of conspiracy to how could government computer to publish these documents as well now just

a few minutes ago we heard from the wiki leaks editor in chief he's outlined the gross hypocrisy in this case and really points to the lack of justice in the so-called justice system will be. limited. to julio's lawyers will have to work with the witnesses away your perception of what is. choosing limiting junior's lawyers appealing to to present the witnesses there's no mention of that would be any limitation with cross-examination for me here if you had to if that is why i did which it is very disappointing already on day one of the extradition hearing we already. i have some key developments firstly the noirs have informed the court that they've not been able to see judas on just the 1st time in 6 months we also understand that you're in a science has been sucked in a glass box very similar to the proceedings earlier this year in february just before the covert 19 pandemic that time you said he couldn't hear properly and almost compared to myself to nothing more than

a spectator out wimbledon cheering us on just journey to court here today has been a very tumultuous one over the past few years as he was turned back into the public eye and april of 2019 when he was infamously holed out of london's ecuadorian embassy by british police he was of course seeking political asylum and was there for almost 7 years now he then began serving a 50 week sentence at london's belmarsh prison for skipping bell back in 2012 but he has spent over a year and a half at the belmarsh prison and in fact not once has been any evidence has been presented in court now at this 11th hour last ditch effort we've seen a german m.p. called on the german government to now provide julian a song for the political asylum i call of the german government also julian assange political asylum in germany all within the european union and i ask my government if the german government can bring the russian alexina vanya to the shower to hospital in berlin why doesn't it make the same offer to the seriously ill to get

a song the key point for journalists are just defense team is they'll go down the medical very ground of course when julian was silent was at the belmarsh prison he was back and forth in and out of the medical ward he has been incredibly on well many people say his health has been deteriorating over the last few years and for many of the court proceedings he is not able to be there physically as well so his team would argue he's unfit to travel to the u.s. to face trial over in america on top of that the noise would also contend that the u.s. is seeking to prosecute julian assange for political offenses and that therefore exempts him from extradition under the u.k. . a u.s. extradition treaty but the prosecutors will take a different approach they will try to establish that the soldiers actions were not political they endangered lives for compromising these classified top secret documents now we are just at day one of a 4 week hearing proceedings for the expedition to massage it will ultimately

decide his fate but campaigners outside the old bailey here today say it's not just doing the scientists in the dock today but also sat behind him beside him is the fundamental tenets of the freedom of press and the rights of the public to access information as well they say of genocide is extradited it might only silence him but it will get other journalists a world wide so the press freedom the stakes are really that high. israel's imposing curfews in 40 cities following a recent spike in covert 19 cases the new restrictions require businesses to close by 7 pm and ban people from venturing far from their homes in the evenings schools and colleges also have to show off the professional elements who are in the given the situation in israel the trend is liable to reverse itself at any moment with a dangerous addition of severe cases and deaths and the danger that the teams of doctors treating corona new hospitals could collapse. the initial plan had been to impose a complete lockdown in 30 cities but following pressure from local mayors it was

scaled back to evenings only although with an additional 10 cities added to that list there's also been a steady rise in infections across the country so far this month with daily cases now reaching almost 3000 meanwhile protest against the government's handling of the pandemic and now into the 11th week over the weekend police officers could be seen lifting protesters off the road and carrying them away as people gathered near the prime minister's official residence demonstrators are calling for ben even netanyahu to quit not just because of the coronavirus but also over his current corruption trial the head of the immunotherapy laboratory at powerline university explains why the number of cases in israel is on the rise. after reopening around june schools and enabling. places of gathering to thrive whereas we have seen basically the slow rise in the number of people being infected there is a crisis of confidence in the public meaning people do not feel the need to always

abide by the regulation people willing to comply is essential to prevent the further spread of the virus the 2nd thing is that there are a lot of gatherings like for example weddings at night that are taking place although they are forbidden but people are actually organizing them in places private places so it's very difficult to locate them and to close them down 2nd main problem we have is of efficient trast seeing right now we are not able to correctly tracing every single case because are a lot of cases and the 2nd thing is that because we are still in we are still trying to implement our new system for tracing and that is taking too much time again another reason why we see a rise. ok that's the news for now thanks for watching your next update. amatzia moscow is in just over half an hour from that would see it.

course we need to to criticize also the power of the companies and we need to criticize what corporate lawyers do but we also need to point our fingers at the states and have we have to really say look. states created the systems and states have the power to get rid of the system that's and even if they are colombia or peru or developing countries even if they are mali and what have you the states have the power to get rid of the system if they chose to do so. but do they really want to governments that big business are often complicit. the vattenfall group for example had the chancellor's ear she even appointed its ex e.e.o. long as the just of sin to be her personal advisor on energy transition. most heads of state are ambivalent. not even you don't consider the fast and.
