moscow 1st the prominent russian opposition activist alexina valmy is out of an induced coma but the hospital treating him in berlin says it's too soon to say if he's suffered any long term effects meanwhile the russian ambassador in london has been summoned to the foreign office where he said there would be nothing but i'm founded accusations leveled against russia reporting next from berlin his peter all of it. 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 of 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 question about whether the the 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 cakes 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 alexei navalny 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 in there was a request for 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 be peskov treated to a name we used 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 know but york doesn't matter when it's state actor in 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 of a c.e.o. of the washington pain center only a shared his thoughts on the valleys 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 move your feet things like that really create new so i think i'm cautiously very optimistic about this patient. of a 1000 people gathered in the city of rochester in the state of new york on sunday night demanding accountability for the police killing of a black man the address that began off the video emerged showing police placing a spit hood on daniel prude one officer placed his hands on priest head while another put his knee on prudes back which led to his suffocation the death which happened in march will now be investigated by a grand jury meanwhile on saturday the city of portland mark 100 consecutive days of black lives matter rallies triggered by the death of george floyd.

were dozens of arrests in the city over the weekend but the protests show no sign of relenting american journalist and author daniel believes that the unrest could continue into election day and beyond. but i guess breaking down we're seeing a street fighting street fighting going on growing levels involving both the leftists and rightists. as a kind of a slow wolfing 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 up in fighting endless lawsuits and indeterminate no one knows elsewhere than in the state of kentucky hundreds of protesters from rival groups marched through louisville black lives matter campaigners converged on the city demanding saturday's iconic kentucky derby horse race be counseled but did still go ahead though the activists were also denouncing police and violence meantime pro police militia also marched through the city they were confronted by b.l.m. protesters. one american companies doing one out of all this leading firearms make us with them wesson has seen sales jump 140 percent this year that equates to around $134000000.00 in extra sales that illicit again believes 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 an excel orating breakdown 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 there with nation wide unrest against racial injustice likely to stretch all the way to november's presidential election one side is warning that only a joe biden victory can stop the violence democratic party think tanks insists that anything other than a win for them on will only bring more chaos will take a look at that for you a few minutes from now. next

there was a surge of new corona virus infections in france is seeing restrictions returned in some areas 7 regions have been put on a red list while some schools about to close again barely a week off the reopening reporting next from paris a show to do. 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 in total function and 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 a 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. it was a little bit. 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 beg its 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 1000 whether 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 maybe claiming that only a vote for him will guarantee law and order in the united states but rival democratic party think tanks say that another 4 years of him in the white house will only result in more violence on the street going to more pain to be looking through the claims. in november the us public will get to vote on who becomes president for the next 4 years and figures 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 of our exercises reach the brink of catastrophe with massive disinform ation campaigns violence in the streets and a constitutional impasse the transition integrity project is not the only outfits thinking 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 and voting confusion when every legitimate 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 they rush it lou clay 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 his a few munches 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 strong and denigrates buying 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 were 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 were 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 bill 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 richard in

a sea of this election they said the exact same thing in 2016 that shrum where 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 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 gay part to who knows. i 60 minutes past the hour you without a good to have you with us so after a lengthy legal wrangling and a covert and imposed delay the hearing finally got underway in london for the wakening to found a jury and a sound that will decide whether or not who gets extradited to the united states to

tell next story when we come back. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal. thinks . we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm

going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. hello again more violent news now and the extradition hearing for the wiki leaks founder julian assange has begun in london has been postponed for months because of the coronavirus lockdown shaadi had would stash the report from outside london central criminal court. 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 today really does open up the new it's chapter in almost a decade long attempt to prosecute jude in a sarge 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 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 a 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. limit. that to julio's

lawyers 'd willing to work with the witnesses the way your perception. choosing limiting julio'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 do that is why it is which it is very disappointing already on day one of the extradition hearing we already have some key developments firstly the noirs have informed the court that they have not been able to see journalists are just the 1st time in 6 months we also understand that you're in a santa 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 he said he couldn't hear properly and almost compared to him self to nothing more than a spectator. wimbledon cheeriness songes 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 bail 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 you in a song for the political asylum i call in the german government to 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 on the key point for genocide just defense team is they'll go down the medical groups 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. u.s. extradition treaty but the prosecutors will take a different approach they will try to establish that a soldier's 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 extradition of 2 massage it will ultimately decide his fate but campaigners outside the. bailey heard today say it's not just airless art as an adult today but also sat behind him on the site and is the fundamental tenets of the freedom of press around them lights on the public to access information as well they say

a genocide is that productive it might only silence him but it won't catch on the journalism world wide so the press freedom for stakes already that high. renown scholar a social commentator nun chomsky told out he's going underground that he believes it will be illegal if the u.k. hands a song to america that would be a criminal on the part of the british government to exceed 'd to the u.s. so then an extradition of a soldier's of sense is not saying bill. now if he had good reasons not to as it would have been extra do it if he but not being bill requires a tap on the wrist not torture in a high security 1st day of to the right reason not even a leader is allowed to receive books i'm in mass murderers or being treated in a way beyond the worst vicious criminal ok and if he's extra good at it comes up

for trial on the us as spinoza's laws which even gerry of digital did. it's trial is being troika it was committed the crime of letting the general population know things that they have a right to know and that our full state still wards of the know. israel's impose curfews in 40 cities following a recent spike in coven 1000 cases the new restrictions require businesses to close by 7 pm and also ban people from venturing far from their homes in the evenings schools and colleges also have the shot. the professional elements were in there given the high mobility 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 and hospitals could collapse the initial plan had been to

impose a complete lockdown in 30 cities but following pressure from local met it was scaled back to evenings only but with an additional 10 cities added to that list has been a steady rise in infections across the country so far this month with daily cases now reaching almost $3000.00 meanwhile protest against the government's handling of the pandemic have now entered their level from all 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 the human netanyahu to quit not just because of the coronavirus but also over his current corruption trial of the head of the immunotherapy laboratory and 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 what we have seen basically is a 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're 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 efficient trust 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 tracing and that is taking too much time that's again another reason why we see a rise. ok that's it for me thanks for watching nikki in the coming hours keep you updated on the big stories that are across here tonight for now though from

a the moscow news to. seem wrong. to shape our. culture. and in. the trail.

find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. we're entering into this strange space you know i think about in the ninety's or the beginning of perpetual copyright and so are copyright essentially laws become perpetual and intellectual creativity is dead and to a large degree now after petrol live at home so the dynamism that would be coming with new household creation is dead and to a large degree. for petrol all money printing money and money. so we have this deadening of economic growth because the printing. money keeps their zombie companies and the banks alive so we're basically burying ourselves perpetuity.

these. 2016 millions of europeans are taking to the streets will the union has refused to sign the free trade agreement with canada triggering a crisis across europe. that. now that the treaty negotiations brought to light a largely unknown organisation international arbitration. that allow multinationals to sue states. morris is trying to use i guess d.s. to stop the oracle from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a fringe company sued egypt because egypt resists minimum wage

astonishingly these arbitration tribunals can oblige states to pay huge compensation $50000000000.00 by the standards. award. amount overall damages claimed as about 5700000000 you didn't know it's no surprise the trials are held behind closed doors everything takes place in utmost secrecy. arbitration are secret i mean that's that's the purpose of an arbitration that you don't want to go into cleared as is just has come from who organizes it all and who defends us. after all in the end it's we the taxpayers who pay the bill. make any sort of walk here for you because of the awful sun coming your face all over for the phone . company did.
