responsibility of the german authorities to conduct this to geisha the crime was committed in russia and that's way. the russian side used to comment on the matter . with germany refusing to share samples or in a valley streetman details or later russian investigator talk to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete an extra limit reproaching clearly berlin is a no hurry to share all this information although they're demanding that russia to a committed action get the impression the germans are still in free time in finding various pretexts to avoid cherry data which russia would believe this is all being done to secure the idea being spread in the media that russia does not want to clarify in the balinese illness any such claims are lies meantime the doctors who've been treating the value of the child at a hospital in berlin say his condition is rapidly improving more on that next from peter oliver. well while the diplomatic spat between moscow in berlin seems to continue to rumble on alexei novelli has improved dramatically while his condition

1:05 pm
a german government spokesman was asked just that on the weapons day he said that he had no further information on the whereabouts of alexina valley or what his plans were. oh author and political analyst martin mccauley told us that not only speedy recovery calls into question the claims that he was poisoned with a military grade nerve agent. we know looking at a situation where several 30 in western europe recognize it as a nerve agent blowing to the north and your group. is now up and walking and really going into convolutions it's a remarkable recovery because people were talking about super among being in hospital for several months and suddenly being released the key thing here is of course that. most crew at present doesn't have to sample 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. all developing now crowds have gathered
1:06 pm
immense for yet another protest against the belarusian president 20 people have reportedly been arrested it comes course just hours after alexander lukashenko was sworn in for a 6th term our senior correspondent is in minsk. very tense now police have just fired water cannon behind us they're still firing mortar kavin there's a line of policeman now trying to remove the demonstrators from a central square here it means hundreds of people 2 perhaps a few 1000 gathered just behind me and literally a few minutes ago police began pacing in and then we saw a number of people detained at the season unsanctioned rally the government had warned that this isn't an unsanctioned rally they had called on the demonstrators to disperse but passions are high here there's there's there's a lot of anger among the protesters many of them refused to leave and now they're being chased by police again they just fired wardak out and at the protesters
1:07 pm
earlier today of course what sparked it all was the surprise that all gratian of the better russian president. there was no rated for a 6th presidential term it came as a complete surprise there was a new warning this new hint that it would happen people only learned that he had been inaugurated as he was giving this speech as he as he was giving a speech thanking his supporters saying that the the revolution in ukraine colored revolution in ukraine had failed and that better russians by electing him as their president again had protected their freedoms their independence and peace. dear fellow by the russians on this solemn day the president swears a new of this state and the people with special feeling with a lot of pride for both the russians who have passed with the honor the test of strength in their beliefs the inauguration is the day of victory convincing significant we didn't just elect the president of the country we defended our
1:08 pm
values our peace our sovereignty and our independence and we still have a lot to do. there's been a very strong reaction both here in belarus many of the protesters wearing crowds people crowds to. integration of president many people very unhappy that this has happened they had called for and wanted fresh elections including the opposition which formed the council of council to oversee a new elections and to make sure that presently pushing through the post many of their members ended up leaving bellerose for europe the european union which has taken a much more proactive stance with regards to what is happening in belarus we heard senior officials in the in the european union say that they aren't meddling or interfering what they're doing can't be construed as foreign interference into the domestic affairs of bellerose rather that they're doing the right thing by
1:09 pm
supporting the opposition by stress supporting the protesters obviously the government has different ideas calling this calling the. meddling but we've also seen condemnation today especially several european countries are a host of them coming out and saying that they won't recognize the inauguration of president lukashenko that it was a farce and that he's no longer a legitimate president. there was no free democratic presidential election in valorise so there is no democratic legitimacy for the ceremony that took place today such a farce forged elections forced integration the former president of builder was does not become less former quite the contrary his illegitimacy is a fact with all the consequences that this entails. inaugurated today has no legitimacy to lead his country he is responsible for presidential elections in both groups we should neither free nor slovakia's tears were said to those of
1:10 pm
bill roos. in fact look at shanghai just retired that means his orders to state power structures are no longer legitimate and cannot be executor i said client housecat and the only leader elected by the belarusian people and our task now is to build new belarus together they mentioned a little earlier several 100 perhaps a few 1000 demonstrators gathered in the square behind me within 10 minutes they were they were blogging away they were running away they were being charged by police with battens the police had warned them that they should disperse this this was an unsanctioned protest but many of the demonstrators didn't move they chanted for president to leave police began deploying water got into trucks spraying water at protesters and now most of them have fled there's the square bad news is empty for all but police. i live next to martin summers an independent
1:11 pm
journalist who's long covered events and he's to new york welcome back to r.t. martin we were expecting this. inauguration to be next month of move forwards pretty located but pretty keen we watched as well do you think it was a wise move. well i think if intends to carry on which i think he does then he's got to go is going to take steps so the son of step study is taken. and. he's quite clear that those who want 'd him out inside and elsewhere are not going to be happy with that. we did this is the situation that we were that we were i've . got to know if you had some of that predictably negative reaction from western powers and light offends in order a sense or a way back for lucas and to be able to rebuild any of those relationships such as they were anyway. well don't forget that this is a 6 in order ration so he's won 5 elections and it's very strange to me that any
1:12 pm
political analysts in the west could presume that having won 5 elections he's then going to lose the 6 what's different this time as the previous 5 times and what's really missing from all the analysis is why lucas and has been in power for 26 years on the run the truth is that he's actually quite popular and better russia because of the policies that he's pursued he's not liked in the west for example that he didn't he didn't break up the collective farms but if you look at what happened in the baltic states when the collective farms were broken up that was a disaster for the rural population that hasn't happened in but the roots of all their market if as popular as he say he is there would have been 8 weeks of protests with thousands strong crowds with their well i'm perfectly willing to admit that over the years don't forget as a whole generation growing up in better reuss who've never seen any of the person running the country other than in your under the age of 26 you've lived your whole
1:13 pm
life with him as the president and what tends to happen in any sort in any society is a younger generation takes a different view from an older generation in who should run the country in britain we've got a majority of 80 for the conservative government. they only got 43 percent of the vote that's to do the electoral system lots of young people in the urban areas of very unhappy about having a conservative government but it doesn't mean that they won the election and that's if you actually look at the election results in the official election results the opposition got something like 10 percent a good 80 percent now that that's probably think that's probably not correct but to say you've won the election that's a big statement and what a lousy what about spider-man a taken off guy is next move then that political brinkmanship she still incessantly won the election for he says because franco has effectively retired what do you expect her next move to be. well i think what she's what she's doing is she you
1:14 pm
know she's basically committed herself now to removing. the rather than put it possibly negotiating with him i mean that's that was always a possibility and i think what would be wise for him if he if he if he if she would be open to it would be discussing with her will how do we take this forward we're not going to accept that you won the election but we do accept that you are legitimate political force on the must be some way that we can come to some arrangements so that we can govern the country in a responsible fashion but i think she is being encouraged point plan side forces to take an extreme position and i don't think she's going to back down. that will be my assessment but you control goes point of view he isn't going to back down don't forget the people who voted for him the repopulation the people who work in state factories the put the position of the opposition is that they're going to basically privatized those factories which means to put those people out of work this is why
1:15 pm
lucas shameka retains political support 'd in the us for 26 years a jury during the crisis in russia in the 1990 s. when yeltsin was in power and the economy crushed crushed out. remained. insulated from them and. what about i don't hear i mean what about if i had the batteries this is why he's with bill and what about outside or effects that are in the air then dr sanctions were drawn up there were a veto by cyprus but that's because cyprus has got one eye on trying to get sanctions against turkey in london so that aside do you think what's having a better route is going to be something that's going to create more division within the e.u. it's going to get involved what's happened what happened one stage is that the. easing towards each other and sanctions that had been in place would gradually removed and then of course the situation has developed to know that a more confrontational atmosphere is developing sanctions and the only question could will probably be agreed at some point but it won't change his position
1:16 pm
a more of probably do is push him more towards. the russian federation because of course in many ways he was trying to steer a middle course between the needs of the russian federation and the demands of the west impose and of course the local poland baltic states ukraine very hostile to lukashenko but of course the ordinary people in those countries i mean if you look at what's happened in the baltic states most of the young population start to leave because of the economic policies in pursuit of the last 10 years whereas of course in bill roache you could say you've got a almost a. what's a like a holdover from the from the soviet era were lots of the soviet welfare state has essentially been preserved and that is the reason wally he's he's won the election this election and the previous 5 elections and of of obvious him in that position i wouldn't be prepared to stand down just because a minority thinks that he got
1:17 pm
a got to go and of course that minorities being heavily funded and supported from the west as part of a general attack on the russian federation which we saw in ukraine and we've seen you know all sorts of other. vacations going on and i don't think it was going to stand down and i don't think it's sanctions are going to have much really effect but it is natural and not they're not really integrated into the european economy anyway but it's not sanctions which are bit of a blunt tool of the best of times anyway there's a lot of treading carefully from outside of bella versus borders at the moment i mean if they only e.u. country to recognize phenomena taken off guard as president to the other country to the who have held back from that how are they going to manifest their support for if they're going to move forward with that. well i think that's a question for them really i think this this crisis could probably have been mediated had the being less of a confrontational attitude on the part of the u.s.
1:18 pm
in particular and therefore their influence within the year i would have thought that the french for example want the not true example of a rather different view from those of the view you're going to find in kiev or in that of course care isn't part of the you or warsaw. or still would hope that alternately there's no reason why you can't have political negotiations and if there was to be a sit as i said the couple of days ago on on r.t. if there was to be a formal election agreed the question has got to be with the opposition except defeat because it's quite possible they would lose a good and of course people haven't really analyze why it is leadership has been in power for as long as he has and it's because he's got genuine political support for thanksgiving watching what's happening in that part of the whole forest and sharing your insight really appreciate it martin summit in brussels thanks a lot thank you. reliable safe and effective that's.
