border with ukraine a monday moray kolesnik of a disappeared she couldn't be reached by phone and field while her whereabouts were unknown on tuesday officials said the activist had been detained for breaking the law trying to cross into ukraine and he's on the lookout shank a further details in an interview with russian journalist. that's going to lose is that the only could you give us more detail about marie kolesnikov or where is she . i probably cannot give you much detail gigia the fact that i was only told that she and her 2 friends who were drivers all close ones or distant ones they fled to ukraine today and they had documents and everything prepared in advance they showed their passports and on site customs officers border guards let them through further on is the state border and the ukrainian post but between these posts they were 8 to 9 kilometers and that our border is heavily guarded so we deployed more guards naturally they were stopped they froze the gas. she was even thrown out of the car
6:04 pm
on the move well on the run. so they themselves did it yes well there were 3 of them who could have thrown her out border guards of course detained her has would have been expected i say this is an old border guard and she was sent to the border office and the car went across the a cranium border up through the ukrainian post and then as far as i'm now informed they were detained and we negotiating with them so that they return them to us. what for they left they relatively speaking of were released from birth you know they could not be detained they travelled legally with documents but they violated the state border they checked in at the checkpoint the border guards and customs officers did their jobs and the border itself is another 8 or 10 kilometers away and they drove right through this reinforced post and hid in ukraine allegedly this woman sister lives in ukraine allegedly i don't know for sure they told me this today i asked why is it ukrainian not lithuania not hungry as they usually go to
6:05 pm
but someone's relatives a said to live there i cannot claim so i don't know everything yet therefore she was detained and we asked the ukrainian border guards to return the others to our country we will investigate what happened. but maria kolesnik if one has a different version of events she says she was abducted by officers and taken to the ukraine border to be kicked out of the country to avoid that she tore up her passport the opposition figures now being held in minsk the e.u. has condemned her detention calling it a violation of domestic and international law. meanwhile lithuania's possibility of world powers to recognize the opposition candidate in last month's belorussian election as the rightful president the throughway is the 1st country to recognize taken off skyrockets leader of belarus she fled to lithuania after the election and she sent posted several videos asking the international community to help to force look out and enable the elections geo political analyst writer office believes the lithuania wouldn't have taken such a step without the backing of larger powers. it's
6:06 pm
a signal that is being shown to go and it shall show. of force is major forces political forces behind because little you know wouldn't take such a measure which is illegitimate according to international law if there was no support by the european union or who knows. and i see this. not too intelligent. to blunt because it shows clearly that the situation in the. us is not only divided one side is also in danger of being taken over by external interests therefore i see it in political terms and not terms of elections in minsk. germany's accepted moscow's request for legal cooperation on the probe into the
6:07 pm
alleged poisoning of alexina however state prosecutors warn that some information will only be shared with the activists consent and germany says it still expects russia to be held accountable for the incident. ima relations with russia are influenced by the fact that russia is 1st of all an important global actor and also by the fact that in the past and in present times we have had some problematic topics between each other and we should express ourselves carefully this time there was an attempted murder on mr novelli performed with a very specific and internationally banned nerve agent of the novacek group and our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened that's what we're going to see that our authorities are investigating this incident we don't like it when other countries dictate to us when and at what point to start our process we cannot legally call this a criminal case based on the analysis of the journal aboard 3 moreover the board to
6:08 pm
receive the b.r.d. army just as in the b. or d. it is probably impossible to initiate a criminal case on the basis of tests that were taken in our military hospital this is legally nonsense there are acts of furphy creation our investigative bodies are working they have questions new questions appear we hold that we will receive information from our german colleagues it will help to move forward in germany previously announced that it will be sharing of all these test results with the global chemical weapons watch dog although russia which is a member of the i.p.c. w. says nothing's been received yet the valley emerged from an induced coma this week with german doctors saying he's now responding to speech although the long term effects are still unclear he was airlifted to palin for treatment last month after falling ill on a flight from siberia the russian doctors that initially treated him found no evidence of poisoning meanwhile russia's envoy to the un has responded to the allegations coming from western powers. these school uses them can look at these
6:09 pm
questions well so hopefully we will hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed. these leaders leads us to only would will reply nickel question legion lost in search situations we've won you trace it erk we've pulled those who used to benefit from this the one that one if you demand explanations will defer explain the people and we'll compare notes one should with the last elite geishas uncle ability to by evidence even this is as you see me your reasonable german parliament debated the poisoning of a special session on friday and several lawmakers demanded action against moscow as peter all of the reports it was a fiery session on friday afternoon until evening here in berlin in the german bundestag the majority of those who spoke or pointing a finger of blame directly at russia and the russian government for what they say
6:10 pm
was the poisoning of alexei no folly there were some voices that question the official government line not many i have to say but there were some common that really if the kremlin really regrets the assassination attempt on alex in the valley and really wants to clear things up why does novell need such a level of protection from our security services political murder is part of the putin system. so not only are the russians supposed to have tried to poison an opponent of the regime with a military nerve agent but the put it in his tea why would the russian government be so stupid them and even let an avanti fly out to germany instead of hiding him in russia it's absurd that north stream too was a big issue on the during the debate as well basically the german politicians splitting into 3 camps there are those that say it needs to be halted immediately
6:11 pm
and perhaps canceled altogether there are those that want to wait and see how russia reacts and how this story develops and there are those saying that it's simply too important economically and it must remain purely an economic project no matter what else is going on we have those see heated debate over north stream both on the streets here in germany friday night in the bundestag north stream has never been a purely private sector project as the german government has repeatedly argued despite the war in syria just by the use of a chemical weapon in souls bury the federal government is sending a message to the kremlin no matter what you do economic goals are more important to us than climate protection security policy and human rights. demanding the immediate term a nation of north stream 2 is in my view a hasty and misguided reaction but it pleases those who have always opposed the project especially the greens well as germany continues to push russia for an
6:12 pm
explanation for what happened to alexei novelli the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said russia still waiting for information it requested from germany but it's the use of your money the german representative to the u.n. said the date is no longer not for bilateral relations between germany and russia but amounts for multilateral proceedings what kind of proceedings the germans are talking about they were unable to say. in the interests of our german colleagues we urge them to provide all necessary information which might in any way should lights one absolutely unfounded accusations investigators in russia of also being on the search for more information police in the city of thompson which is where all x. in the valley had been he was flying from tomsk to moscow before his plane had to make an emergency landing in the city of school with the lexan of only in extreme distress well placed in tom skipping putting together a timeline of where he was in the lead up to him getting on that plane they've
6:13 pm
placed miss in the valley in a hotel in a restaurant in a flat and in a coffee shop what they have also been going about doing is trying to interview those that were in close contact with aleck's in the valley during his time in the city of tomsk police there say they've been able to interview 5 of the 6 people that spent a lot of time with mr novelli they say the 6th person a woman is believed to have come here to germany there are still lots of facts to come to light in the case of what happened to alexa in the funny books as we search for those facts the diplomatic route between germany and russia continues to heat up. this is our team all the leaks headline news on the way an alarming number of state health service doctors in the u.k. say they're ready to quit over the government's handling of the pandemic we'll walk you through that among our stories after the break.

me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello again to law enforcement officers are in a critical condition in los angeles county after being shot by an unknown suspect on saturday president trumps already called for the shooter to face the death penalty. if they die fast trial death penalty for the killer only way to stop this any most that must be hit hard. on this surveillance video you'll be able to see now a gunman could be seen walking up to a patrol car and opening fire to county sheriff's deputies one male and female were inside the vehicle at the time both suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the sense undergone emergency surgery the suspect remains at large on saturday night

a crowd showed up outside the hospital where they are being treated. according to the l.a. county sheriff's office protesters blocked emergency exits they were late to dispersed by police 2 people were detained including a female reporter who was accused of interfering in an arrest. the incident follows months of unrest over police brutality across the u.s. some of the worst royds have been important in oregon although a new poll suggests that most people in that state want the chaos to stop conservative talk radio host dave perkins says the vicious attacks against police are like nothing the country's seen before. it's a clear is evidence of a complete foundational moral inversion that i have ever seen in all the history of mankind and i never thought i would see it while i was still alive i want you to hear the level of believe me and joy in the voices of the people shouting that they
6:17 pm
hope those police officers die this is the sense that they are morally right that what they are doing has the element of righteousness and proper punishment almost a law of sorts applying to them in which they are right and we're wrong and because of that they're very happy to be doing what they're doing especially when they get away with it and nobody stops them for any reason they're getting away with a right now what we're seeing i think on a grand scale is an inversion of more reality what's right is wrong and what's wrong is right. has found that more than a 1000 doctors are ready to quit the national health service over the government's handling of the covert pandemic the president of the country's doctors association says the issues have been building for a long time. i think what you have 0 is are and it has clearly been feeling and how in broken short many years now prior to them how to make
6:18 pm
this is a profession who have suffered through some of the worst crisis crises in history within our workforce including absolutely ruinous to new jobs and contracts changes to our training that mean doctors need every 6 months or a year around hospitals around the way and indeed the pensions tax crisis which has forced many of our most senior an experienced experienced oxys interest finance all of this was prior to us going into a national crisis of more than $700.00 members responded to the doctor's association survey 2 out of 3 of them said they're now more likely to leave the n.h.s. because of the poor treatment from the government during the covert response most of those planned to leave within 3 years some of them want to move abroad others just want to take a career break or a few want to go for the private sector and work in private hospitals among the main reasons being cited for considering quitting were a lack of pay rises and also
6:19 pm
a lack of protective equipment others say they've been gagged from speaking publicly about their concerns but it's also warn that promised benefits have been revokes not only that but treating on the covert front line is also they say at a major effect on their mental health. every since we've had only different demick and we've had these incredible times where people have been dying and struggling we've been separate for our families we just want some recognition for what we actually did and what we feel like we deserve over the last 1015 years let alone well it wasn't too long ago that we were talking about nasa if he were surviving on charitable donations and fair trying to have a stop just because curry that came in just pretty crap we deserve back a professionally at home and a tax to serve better and that was what today is about that was really for me the government insisted 3 percent pay rise offer is good enough prime minister boris johnson's pledge to more funding for hospital infrastructure over the upcoming
6:20 pm
difficult winter period ahead of the doctor's association again says its workers must feel valued. we know that the n.h.s. was very much understaffed and under resourced going into this. i have no doubt that that impacted on our ability to see combat this fire s. we had 10000 vacancies forward doctors across the frontlines 100000 vacancies for a front line and it's our stuff including nurses so we were we were already struggling with our workforce now if so many doctors leave and we have to remember this was a survey of just 1700 doctors with 2 thirds of them saying actually they were making plans to lisa who knows how how big that number truly is but this this really is a worry and i think it is even more of a worry given that many doctors feel that a 2nd surge may be coming within the u.k. so what we're asking is that the government considers the hard work of those troops
6:21 pm
within the n.h.s. they show them how much their needs and their greedy are carted them to retain them in the n.h.s. especially if there is to be a 2nd spike in the. french president was accused of hypocrisy this week for removing his face mask during a meeting with student despite a law requiring them to be worn in public and to make matters worse emanuel mccrone began to cough.
6:22 pm
the president coughs outside of his mom's can stretch his out his hand to take and return a glass of water straight after no in jail no head washing well can we hope for macro and can't stand the fabric masks which is sparingly distributed to teaches however he only spoke for 5 minutes with his what it teaches have to say who forced to speak with one sometimes for 8 hours per day that the president is lawful at the world what are we expecting that the video to be broadcasted schools will be saying that should not be done. just as france of the world brace for a 2nd wave of the pandemic mask the skeptics surrounding the reports next. masks are just a look around on the streets of paris everywhere people are following the rules but what if you're one of those people who has questioned the whole idea of
6:23 pm
wearing a mask all they effective do they prevent the transmission of 19 and what if you are one of those people who doesn't just question this in private but has actually gone to a protest party that has attack on germany's democracy protesters from a demo against the country's coronavirus restrictions try to storm the german parliament. this is how the mainstream media these she and she locked down protesters has spent the afternoon terrorizing police it will be made of people. people who think the corona virus does not exist hundreds of vaccine activists and conspiracy theorists put their faith in science instead of conspiracy theories if they want to avoid getting covert 19 that's now being backed up it seems by a study conducted via facebook carried out by those who enjoy his foundation it
6:24 pm
found that the typical anti mascot here in france is a woman in her fifty's she's educated and supports the yellow vests she'd refused to have a coronavirus vaccine if it was available and she believes in conspiracy theory space most probably has been the most politicized. in the control and i think it's because there is a different union between the politicians and the scientific i would learn 'd a lot of confusion among the general public but when it comes to mosques dig a bit deeper. and you find that 3 of the 4 main reasons that respondents gave to objecting to wearing them were not perhaps and totally unreasonable. they were mosques was breathing difficulties well while of course you can breathe while wearing a mask some people have complained that when it's hot out all they've stepped up
6:25 pm
the pace wearing a mask isn't the most comfortable or experiences to they are a hive of bacteria well yes there is bacteria all around us and that's why it's recommended to wash masks regularly or change them free they are useless in preventing 19 contamination the jury is perhaps still live on this one i say that as there is still no consensus that a governmental level here in europe as to whether or not face masks are an essential to in combat in the spread of 19 so while in france and germany for example why do usage of face masks has been recommended or made obligatory in the netherlands there was a short trial of mask wearing in busy cities was carried out that seems ended while the dutch study the fact if this sweden of course went totally against the grain of
6:26 pm
the country's top epidemiologist threw his weight behind the new mask policy saying this is very dangerous to believe facemasks would change the game when it comes to . even the w h which made a u. turn and is now recommending face masks says this we still don't know how much protective value fabric must have for the wearer that's why when you wear a mask you're protecting others and when others where the master protecting you we're still in the midst of the pandemic in the past. several months the medical and the scientific advice has been a constant merry go round so why is it so unreasonable that some people choose to question more i think because of the conflict of conflicting statements from politician and from the one health organization as well as from the scientific
6:27 pm
community quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty is in the journal public and that led to some not only distrust but also a bit of flaring up in the journal. and that has i think probably primarily contributed into a more aggressive glass of behavior toward the face covering ok that's it for the weekly on for me thanks for watching saskia telescope your next edition in a little over half an hour from now but i'll go from 8 on the moscow news to have a great week ahead. i am. the world is driven by a dream shaped by.
