over in berlin what more developments do we have in this case. a lexicon alexina families conversation is much improved in fact we've seen pictures from his instagram account and which he's open about out of the hospital and in a park here in the german capital it says attached to the picture that he'll be working with physiotherapists as he recovers from his stay in hospital we had seen videos previously of him walking about inside the hospital but on wednesday morning 'd a statement was put out by a shot at the medical facility was being trotted out here in berlin saying that he was ready and able to be discharged. the patient seat of house has improved to such an extent that acute medical treatment can be ended election in arnie was treated at charity for a total of $32.00 days $24.00 days to which she was in an intensive care unit physicians considered fully cover

e possible base in treatment and the current condition and the long term consequences of the severe poisoning can only be assessed later or an article in the french newspaper le monde is causing some for rory in it the newspaper claims that russian president vladimir putin in a phone call with his french counterpart emmanuel micron had claimed that electing of ali poisoned himself the article also goes on to make claims that there may have been some connection with the alleged poisoning and one of the former creators of the or one of the creators of the novacek program who currently lives in latvia now we've heard from the kremlin spokesperson to meet the press corps of you says there is no truth behind this article. and so she mutates not the wording is where in the exact the newspaper could not have been does not have credible information we cannot believe that there would consciously leave the recording or

due to the president's conversation to the media i mean that's rance france cannot do something like that refused to believe that it might be. well as far as the investigations i say investigations there are multiple going on into what happened to alexei navalny we've had confirmation from the ministry of justice here in berlin that they are currently reviewing the 2nd request from the russian prosecutor general's office for information regarding those tests that were carried out on alexina valley we've heard previously from the russian side saying they can't launch a full investigation into an alleged poisoning until they have proof of a poisoning and so far only berlin has the proof which is shared with laboratories in france and in sweden as well as the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the aig now we've also had confirmation from the foreign ministry here in berlin saying that the o.p.c. w. still haven't give them any results we're still waiting on not i think we can

expect that coming in the next few weeks. peter our reporting live from berlin. all right we're not going to bring in mark macaulay author and russia analyst for more on this so not only is up in about he's been discharged their hope for all for a full recovery what do you think that means for the investigation. it's a remarkable recovery because people were talking about several months being in hospital for several months and suddenly he's being released which is a compliment to the balloon show that a specialist and so on they worked. almost a miracle their development is now up and walking and presumably going to convalescence the next question is what effect what effect did the nerve agent how well his memory on his nervous system where his brain was on his ability to recall because he recognized all these things had to investigated but is a very very important step forward because it takes the heat. out of the challenge

to moscow if he died it would been a disaster for german russian relations but this will take the heat out and from now onwards there will be time to be heads let's calm down let's consider these things most would like a sample of the never agent which the berlin doctors should take doctors say he was poisoned and sweden and the trunks have confirmed and the hague the the hague will come in a few weeks time so we know looking at a situation where several 30 western europe recognize it as a nerve agent leading to the move into a group and the next stage is for example of that to go to moscow and allow them to investigate it because they say they haven't received it until the receded. they can't really investigate the situation that we heard earlier that he had every

intention of returning to russia do you expect that to happen quickly and for him to cooperate with moscow and its probe into the case. well he will communicate to us the most who wants to ask you questions he'd be willing to do that because you're good in situation where you poisoned him in terms of who would you put in the plane to warm and so on. the investigators and most who would who knew that and where did he start feeling you know who did he have contact with and all these questions and i'm sure to be quite willing to cooperate with the russian investigators the key thing here is of course that. most school at present doesn't have the sample of the moment your nerve agent and that is the most difficult thing for them because how do you investigated if you don't know what it is and they were waiting for that and to be asking questions and so on but pneumonia president makes

me would be to what extent is memory ok does he recognize people is his speech coherent and so on and this will take time coalition to take time and i would respect him really to return to russia when the doctors have shouted to doctors there right you are now completely cured and we don't think there would be any negative long term effects well there's never been well in your system. author and russia analyst martin mccauley thank you for your time and your comments thank you . let's have a look at chicago has been inaugurated as president of belarus a month earlier than expected the event had not been announced and many have questioned holding the ceremony in the midst of anti-government rallies taking place across the country now that their money was held in the capital's independence palace and they're starting to get video footage of the event from local media looks like go could be seen reciting the oath on the constitution and signing and i graciously the 1st he later gave a speech thanking supporters and stating that the country had prevented

weren't disappointed by his presidency he also said that but by backing him they had passed a test of enduring of their belief so that they had voted for peace and pride protected the independence and freedom of belarus. so. dear fellow by the russians on this solemn day the president swears a new move to the state and the people with special feeling with a lot of pride for both the russians who have lost with the owner the test of strength in their beliefs the inauguration is the day of victory convince an insignificant we didn't just elect the president of the contrary we defended our values our peace our sovereignty and our independence and we still have a lot to do. obviously not everyone is happy with the this you know gratian with the way it was carried out and especially with president being sworn in for a 6 already protests erupting around means so far small scale but by 6 o'clock

since the wastewater treatment plant is not functioning and its canals are damaged the sewage from the dumping site goes directly into the kabul river. we want companies that can easily build treatment plants and we want them to build the plants and deal with the waste properly. the world news in brief writers have top stories brett shops and clash with police officers on a piece week rally in the capital they were also protesting the police killing of a lawyer for allegedly breaking social distancing rules. russian air

the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person with those words. thinks . week to ask. americans are divided enough to find it's all white and use it you shouldn't design citizens or challenge ideologies to become exclusionary and in calling for the supreme court. to politics and worst of all living in poland.

york but a recent police raid against him and his followers landed him in handcuffs according to the investigation the church of the last testament has used people in order to channel rate revenue from really just 60 would also accomplices have used psychological violence against its followers resulting can seriously harm the perpetrators of the church in the near future didn't take long for mr taurus arrest to make international headlines so what's so remarkable about this cult well in 1905 it established a commune called the vis sorry and community and for 2 and a half decades it basically acted as a state within a state in a remote part of siberia there practically existed an independent government on the territory of crossing the young risk no news vissarion media they lived in several settlements this territory was about 2 thirds the size of belgium and there were

checkpoints all mr atory which led past people they wanted and didn't let pass those they didn't want as we've seen from reports local police were afraid to get involved preferring not to intervene and so on they did whatever they wanted there back in 2019 the church was also investigated for fraud interrogations and searches followed but came up with no suspects on the outside their eco village looks clean and well kept residents are supposed to refrain from drugs alcohol tobacco even sugar a small price to pay for the man they are convinced is the messiah he just shouldn't always come in the same body when it's time to say something he should be in this room to film the. sions. yes he's the lord's word for us he's an incarnation of jesus in the ninety's our teacher is syrian came across the soviet union and preaches duction it's not just a religion or faith it should be your life that's why we came here to be

a part of the community but there's another darker side to the commune members were forced to give up their property children left with no access to health care or education after their leaders were arrested authorities discovered not everyone was playing by the rules weapons empty liquor bottles and extremist literature were everywhere not to mention the psychological and physical violence police claim residents suffered from the sorry in communities lawyers did neither police allegations they say nobody's rights were infringed but until a more thorough investigation is conducted into what was going on behind closed doors were left with far more questions than answers. the british prime minister's unveiled new coronavirus restrictions doubling them absolutely necessary to counteract the surge and its numbers as a further step back to boris johnson's anti pandemic timeline is only hope now is that the situation will improve by next spring i do want people to start to go back to work if you can and allow

a move significant return to normality from november at the earliest possibly in time for christmas. in the medical advisors that they are going none of those things will be far better by the spring. the latest measures urged people to again work from home if they can math are now mandatory for taxi drivers and passengers rule breakers will be fine anything from 200 to 8000 pounds and from thursday all pubs bars and restaurants will shut at 10 pm. now many are already ridiculing what they see as an arbitrary 10 pm deadline with numerous viral means now doing the rounds online one bar owner says the rules are extremely damaging and make little sense everyone knows it's a tough time everyone's trying to support businesses that they want to see get through this to represent something to their communities you know we're well stocked it's providing jobs for lots of people 80 percent of our trade by that

estimation is that i didn't actually happens oftentimes that's quite a significant chunk that we're taking out of. revenue stream i'm going to need more support to start if they don't want to see mustard on that i'm certainly going to need support on rent because we haven't you know it's the last 6 months we've got another month juice tomorrow and then god knows what's going to happen for the next 6 months everyone in this country who's in a sort of relatively unaffected age bracket young people $1844550.00 they're just going to go home and continue the policy that we've put so many measures in place and spent a fortune on making all of our license venues coded secure the surety the most sensible place to have people consuming drinks and keeping safe keeping socially distance is within these premises. we spoke to british doctor and academic professor john ashton who says the government has to rebuild trust since they 1st locked down. there's a very real sense of deja vu about the last couple of weeks certainly the last few

days it feels like sure over again the beginning of march when the numbers of new cases begin to double every 2 or 3 days so the real problem the fundamental problem at the moment is how do you re-establish trust because we finished with drastic measures when we shouldn't have to have drastic measures if we'd taken the people on this tough journey from the beginning well what we have to do is to really properly put the local regional authorities the local governments and so the local public health directors in charge that is stead of stirring actually literally billions of us at these private companies to lloyd's and serco and others who are sailing to deliver the test in-tray shouldn't people getting results after several days by which time they've infected other people putting all at risk so into the local public health teams and rebuilding them very quickly. now before we go some

exclusionary color the supreme court is no. politics and worst of all political opponents. is their way out of this downward spiral. salyut ation. who controls the past controls the future who controls the present controls the past wise and politically astute observation by the great prognosticator of us politics in the 20 percent of the one and only george orwell has been ringing in american ears up with a president of the united states of america the brand name and cheap himself one and only donald trump stood in the hollowed echoing all the national archives
