thank you. thank. you. prominent russian opposition activists alexina valmy is out of an induced coma his alleged nerve agent poisoning has been away from accusations directed at the kremlin also a. protest against police brutality in the u.s. show no sign of easing we'll look at how the un works has led to a surge in gun sales. pounds julian assange is the extradition hearing gets underway in london the wiki leaks founder is wanted in the u.s. to face the espionage charges.

a warm welcome to you watching r.t. international with me niki air and our top story the prominent russian opposition activist alexei novelli 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 was summons to the foreign office where he said there had been nothing but unfounded accusations against russia paid to all of the reports from berlin. of the statement put out by a shot at a hospital here in berlin says that alexei in the valley 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 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 spokesperson 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 do it. well dan you seem to produce a brighter mood from the kremlin spokesman to me to the press corps of you to me we used to 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 with a 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 they see the washington pain center early and shared his thoughts on the foundings recovery. i think 2 things about it i think you're looking at 2 factors no one is how much difference he was given so might have been a very you know a minimal dose or whatever the case might be perhaps you get medical attention fairly quickly so if i can please and but i get medical treatment very quickly i

can probably survive the poisoning was the amount of poison i've been susceptible to is those lethal 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 viable stimuli the supreme 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 on sunday night demanding accountability for the police killing of a black man the unrest that began after a video emerged showing police placing a spit on daniel pruett one officer placed his hands on proves head while another put his knee on foods back which led to his suffocation the death which happened in march will now be investigated by grounds jiri may while on saturday the city of portland marked 100 consecutive days of black lives matter rallies triggered by the

death of george philly. there were dozens of rests in the city over the weekend but the protests show no sign of relenting journalist and author daniel is the. believes the only rescued continue into election day and beyond burgers breaking down we're seeing our street fighting in our street fighting going on growing levels involving both the leftists and rightists. as a kind of a slow building 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 are fighting endless lawsuits of indeterminate outcome no one knows meanwhile in the state of kentucky hundreds of armed protesters from rival groups of marched through louisville black lines not to campaign as converged on the city demanding saturday's iconic kentucky darby horse race be counselled though it still went ahead the activists were also denouncing police violence armed propylene militia also marched through the city and were confronted by a black lives matter protesters. and one american companies doing well out of the unrest leading firearms make a smith and wesson has seen sales jumped 140 percent this year as around $134000000.00 in extra sales daniel is there again believes 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 that midwest or the west you'll 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 ever more rapidly and these are these demonstrations these are these the street fighting is a symptom of that with a nationwide unrest against racial injustice likely to stretch all the way to november's presidential election one sign is warning only a job finding victory can stop violence democratic party think tanks insist anything other than a win for them and that will just bring little chaos story is still ahead.

a surge of new coronavirus infections in front ceasing restrictions returned in some areas 7 regions have been put on a red list while some schools have closed again just a week off the reopening so i do penske has more details. 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 registered 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 more functional function well there are now 7 new zones in france that have been declared a red zone 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 cook 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. and he'll send. you. flowers. 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 begged 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. outright may be claiming only a vote for him will guarantee law and order in the u.s. 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 carol of morgan has been looking at 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 the rush it looked like 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 hayes 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 ruse 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 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 quick pairing 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 which it in a sea of this election they said the exact same thing in 2016 that shrum were 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 can see we don't want russia gate for 2 years if the democrats lose if joe biden loses in fact i think any job 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 gave birth to who knows. the extradition hearing for the wiki leaks founder julian assange has begun in london and has been postponed for months to the coronavirus lockdown so he added stuff he reports from outside

london's central criminal court well the reality in the morning i saw for myself the very valid blacked out bound i was carrying fuel massage into the criminal court but here outside we had from his father but also from his part instead of morris also mother of his 2 children she was replayed day with the causeway and media today when he does open up the new is kept in almost a decade will attempt to prosecute jade in a cell and 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 on 18 counts under mostly the espionage act so the u.s. really wanted to for. trial for spying and 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. limited. to julio's lawyers. with the witnesses away your perception. choosing limiting julio's your use of privilege to to question the witnesses there's no mention of that would be any limitation with cross-examination of me here if you had to do that is what i did 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 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 in 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 staunch with the political asylum or. hall 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 julian assange the key point for journalists are 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 your innocence 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 old bailey here today say it's not just to the sergeant in the dock today but also sat behind to the side it 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 actually tied to the right only silence him but it will gag other journalists worldwide so for press freedom the stakes are really that high. we're now on scholar and social commentator commentator noam chomsky told r.t. he's going underground he believes it would be illegal if the u.k. hands a song to america. it would be criminal on the part of the british government to exceed 'd to the us so there rich tradition of surges of sense is not saying bail. now if he had good reasons not to as he would have been extradited if he is not paying bill requires

a tap on the wrist not torture in a high security prison. up to the what reason not even a leader is allowed to receive books i'm in mass murderers or being treated like in a way beyond the worst vicious criminal ok and if he's extradited it comes up for trial on the us espionage laws which even carry of natural death. it's trial is being tried it was committed the crime of letting the general population know things that they have a right to know that our full states don't want of the no. israel has imposed curfews in 40 cities following a recent spike in covert 19 cases and the restrictions require businesses to close by 7 pm and ban people from venturing far from their homes in the evenings schools

and colleges have all say been set the professional elements were and are given to high mbit it's a situation in israel the trend is liable to reverse itself or to 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 the list there's been a steady rise in infections across the country so far this month with daily cases now reaching almost 3000 meanwhile protests against the government's handling of the pandemic is now into day 11 the 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 demonstrates the calling for benjamin netanyahu to quit it's not just because of the coronavirus but also over his

current corruption trial the head of the immunotherapy laboratory and bollen university explains why the number of cases in israel is on the rise. after reopening. 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 that 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 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 lack of efficient trast seeing right now we are not able to

correctly tracing every single case because 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 that again another reason why we see a rise in such a thing r.t. international we're back with the latest headlines in.

problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids and invented america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer soon who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers other governments. is you'll be d. a reflection of reality. in
