a closer to russia. so much is our only question could we probably be agreed at some point the that it would change his position or more of probably do is push him more towards. the russian federation because of course in many ways he was trying to steer a course of tween the needs of the russian federation on the demands of the west and curse and of course the local poland baltic states ukraine very hostile to lukashenko in butler us you could say you've gotten a holdover from the from the soviet era were lots of the soviet world for states has essentially been preserved and that is the reason wally he says he's gotten the election this election and the previous 5 elections and of. position but wouldn't be prepared to stand down just because a minority thinks that he of got to go and of course that minorities being heavily funded and supported from the west as part of
3:08 pm
a general attack on the russian federation which we saw in ukraine we seen all sorts of the provocations going all. right here in germany are continuing to trade accusations and there are answers over how alexina valmy fell ill the opposition activist has now been discharged from hospital in berlin after his alleged poisoning and germany's refusal to hand over evidence to russia has sparked an angry exchange between the 2. there's not the responsibility of the german authorities to conduct this to get the crime was committed in russia and that's why urgent appeal to russian side used to comment on the matter. with germany refusing to share samples or in the family's treatment details or later russian investigator talked to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary proclaimers clearly berlin is a no hurry to share all this information although they're demanding that russia take a needed action to get the impression the germans are still in free time in finding
3:09 pm
various pretexts to avoid sharing their data with russia we believe this is all being done to sit for the idea being spread in the media that russia does not want to clarify and the balinese illness any such claims are lies meanwhile the doctors who have been treating the valley at the charity hospital in berlin say his condition is rapidly improving ati's peter all of us got the details. well while the diplomatic spat between moscow in berlin seems to continue to rumble on alexei novelli has improved dramatically well his condition has anyway he's been posting on social media a picture of himself in what seems to be a burden park and which he says in the post that he will continue to work with physio therapist so it follows on from a statement earlier on wednesday in which the shot at a hospital which had been treating the volley said that he was now well enough to be discharged from the care of the patient's seat of house has improved to such an extent that acute medical treatment can be ended lexan him and he was treated at
3:10 pm
charity for a total of 32 days 24 days away she was in an intensive care unit physicians considered for recovery possible base and treatment and the current condition and the long term consequences of the severe poisoning can only be assessed later well it comes as the ministry of justice here in berlin of confirmed that they've received a 2nd official request from the russian senior prosecutors for information. relating to tests carried out on alexei navalny those tests that berlin says showed that he was poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group well we've also heard from the foreign ministry here in berlin as well that say that they've still to receive any further information from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and did share the information from the valley tests with them waiting for their findings the foreign ministry in miscoded though is far from happy with what it sees as burlington's refusal to share information and preference to let this play out in
3:11 pm
the media system society to women we're seeing how the west has launched a massive distant from pain surrounding the alexander family situation there is no evidence of russian involvement in what happened there can be no such evidence once again the u.s. and its european allies are consciously ask awaiting tensions with russia preferring systematic confrontation to meaningful constructive cop aeration when it comes to what's next for alexina valley well they german government spokesman was asked just that on the web and state he said that he had no further information on the whereabouts of alexei in the valley or what his plans were of geopolitical analyst rana rothfuss believes that some in the west using the divel the case as a pretext to the rail the nord stream to gas supply project. we look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous.
3:12 pm
if it had been applied never only what has died within several minutes after being in contact with that substance so it's not really likely that novacek really was in the play but not in charge of course plays a great role in the narratives in the media narrative for me it's more important to look at the geopolitical backgrounds of the anglo-saxon and the u.s. american powers are in panic about the fact that the nostri 2 pipeline is about being finished quite soon so they need to give some pretext to the public to oppose the finishing of this major pipeline project because it would bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries' economical each year politically and therefore there are great great political or geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. russian president's

system is under enormous strain if we fail to take measures quickly we could reach a critical threshold in some regions. so no department yet is in a state of emergency but there are 2 departments that are in the next category down which is the mark simone alert category these areas include must say and guadalupe now that means in those areas there will be new restrictions that come into force from saturday of this week that will mean the full closure of bars restaurants cafes except in those areas that will take place public spaces where they can't demonstrate the really strictest of hygiene measures will also be closed down as well and we know that this is something that's going to take place initially for 2 weeks though of course that could be extended at the end of the 2 weeks if we come to the category just below that this is where enhanced measures are taking place this is cities such as paris the capital city. to lose in many other places
