i feel very sorry for the staff at the hospital in omsk because they will be fully aware just how tensen is and how important mr navalny is and how important the case is. so, i think, someone may have had a word in their ear but i think it was probably sheer panic that made them be as noncommittal as possible as to what this might or might not be. i think that is the only explanation which is realistic. people living in the english town of oldham — and parts of blackburn and pendle — will no longer be allowed to mix with anyone from outside their household from this weekend. the extra restrictions are to stem the spread of coronavirus, but workplaces, childcare facilities and businesses, including restaurants and pubs, will remain open. our news correspondent yunus mulla has been in oldham this morning for us and explained how people in the town are reacting to the extra measures imposed. what people feared the most here was they could end up in the town with a full lockdown, similar to the lockdown imposed on leicester. that has not happened today. what they have got are restrictions m

they also say that they believe that the hospital authorities in omsk are not telling the entire trutht there's a toxin that's been found. police, they say, have told them this. a toxin has been found. but the hospital authorities are simply waiting for traces of that substance to sort of leave the body of alexny navalny, so when he is transferred to a foreign clinic, possibly that one in germany, they won't be able to find any evidence of it. it's a theory, it's not supported by evidence, but it's what the navalny team are saying at the moment, john. >> i'll take it, matthew. the idea that the hospital is not on the side of the patient is -- sounds particularly diabolical, but we know that you'll keep us posted on what's happening there. thank you very much for the report. >>> also, developing this morning, not one, but two tropical systems are forecast to become hurricanes and make landfall along the gulf coast in the coming days. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking it for us. this would be frightening, for two of them to hit at the same time. >> yeah. and the first time i

all the while there is a plane, an air ambulance standing by in omsk ready to transport mr navalny toas soon as the doctors will release him. there is a big fight going on over that at the moment with the family saying the doctors claim mr navalny is not stable enough to be transported is again an attempt to stop him leaving the country. they say they want to make sure that he can have independent medical treatment, that he can have independent toxicology testing done and get the best possible care to ensure he pulls through this. the doctors are saying he is not fit to travel and as soon as he is fit he will be released. but the team surrounding mr navalny believe this is all part of an attempt to hide what has actually happened to him. you mentioned the team surrounding mr navalny. are they physically surrounding him there, his wife, his aides, are they bearing a hospital in omsk or is this being done to a degree from a distance? they are at the hospital but i understand that so far only the hospital but i understand that so faronly mr the hospital but i understand that so far only

in part, this is why the russian authorities, through the russian doctors in the hospital in omsk preventedlling. it's in orderfor the poison to dissipate. so that they were unable to take samples of his blood after the initial poisoning. it will be very difficult. but the good news is this hospital in berlin treated a similar russian opposition figure in 2018 with evidently nearly the exact same symptoms, so hopefully they will be able to draw some conclusions. and tragically this hospital is getting a great deal of expertise and russian poisoning. was or, i should say, is alexei navalny a serious threat to the kremlin or simply an irritant? he's not necessarily a serious threat to the kremlin, but even by being a nuisance he's starting, i think, to embarrass the kremlin. and what he was doing in siberia, he was campaigning around the largest city, novosibirsk, he was organising for the municipal elections on september 13. he was organising so the opposition could follow behind one candidate in a variety of municipalities in order to beat the united russia party, the pro—kremlin party. so

that alexei was poisoned was confirmed by us from the very beginning, despite the statements of the omskte propagandists. now our words have been confirmed by analysis in independent laboratories. the poisoning of navalny is no longer a hypothesis, but a fact." used more widely and we will look at how effective this is. now, remember mr navalny is a politician and blogger who has long been the most prominent face of opposition to the russian he fell ill on a domestic flight last week. here you can see footage of him being wheeled into an ambulance on the tarmac. his supporters suspect he drank poisoned tea at the airport before departing and witnesses on the plane reported he was screaming in pain. he was later flown to berlin for treatment. last week, the russian government said claims of poisoning are "only assumptions" until testing proved otherwise. it's worth remembering that the kremlin has been accused of carrying out poisonings before, and on each of those occasions it has denied any involvement. back in september 2018, german doctors treating pyotr vur—zil—uhf said it was "highl
