Postal service pledges to deliver ballots on time as the house plans a rare saturday vote to approve emergency funding. Im gonna go just go with the sport Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is released from greek custody but still facing charges following an alleged brawl on the island of. Russian Opposition Leader alexina on a has been transferred to a hospital in berlin to receive emergency treatment for suspected poisoning russian doctors had initially said he was too sick to be moved from a hospital in the siberian city of all misc but they change their position late on friday dominic king has more from berlin. This is where alex in his journey has brought him burlingtons world renowned shani to the hospital and the start of treatment his supporters hope will save the life of one of the most prominent critics of the russian government hed been brought here on board a special flight through the night from siberia after russian doctors finally agreed he was fit to travel. The patients family a fully of didnt have all the darts are about the diagnosis and condition of the patient and theyre ready to take the risk to transfer weve decided that we dont oppose transferring the patients to another clinic but valleys friends and family are asking why it took so long for these doctors to agree with those whod flown from germany to collect. Not on these wife believes the delay was specifically to allow whatever is in his system to degrade and to make identifying it therefore harder she thinks he drank tea that had been poisoned just before he boarded a flight to moscow from tomsk the off thorough teas at the russian hospital where he was treated deny this. We have come to the conclusion that judging by the fact that there were no poisons found in his blood or other biological materials he has a metabolic disorder lowering of blood sugar levels to be specific due to a rapid change of pressure everyone thinks it was during take off staff here have immediate relevant recent experience of treating patients with the sorts of symptoms that alexy now vanny has come here with now they get the chance to find out what exactly is in his system and how they go about removing it but how it got there in the 1st place remains unclear. The mccains joining us now from berlin dominic as you were saying in your package there this is really a delicate balancing act in many ways for the medical staff because on one hand theyre trying to save his life on another hand theyre trying to find out what the poison is and thats going to take time and their own an awful lot of people who are looking for answers to this. Yes an awful lot of people posing an awful lot of questions watson him how to get there and how did they get it out and who did it thats the thing if there was foul play involved in in in rendering mr novelli in this comatose situation who is responsible for it but always questions remain to be answered the one thing we can say is that the group which helped arrange the medivac medical evacuation flight from aunts to here in berlin thats the set of off a Piece Foundation well the spokesperson was speaking to the media a short time ago and was going into some more detail about what they know about mr of arnies condition remember he was puts he was induced into a coma whilst in russia and then transported here in a plane that had been specifically charted with all the medical precautions on board to allow the flight to take place to keep me alive during that situation so the person concerned from sort of off a piece said very clearly that although theyre pleased that hes now landed in berlin is now in the hospital i should be no doubt about the fact that he is in a very serious condition and that it Means Nothing that hes here what matters is what treatment he can get clearly for those who support the tsunami want to see recover if thats possible and that everyone else is looking at this is well and wondering what happened and when we go to find out who was responsible for this as dominick can bring us up to date from berlin down there thanks very much indeed.

Situation and these are guys who are. And the thing they told us that they have. Have. They can do whatever they want so they have like the highest permission. 16 year old me almost the 1st Family Member to be detained he was walking with his mother when armed police grabbed him there was no protest at a time when christina a marketing analyst and her husband and a doctor went to a Police Station to look for him and they too were lead taint they were taken to a christina a Detention Center in minsk where many detainees have said they were tortured syrian ssion system known as devotes a paulist to all the women were forced to completely undress and they were filming us on their phones then we moved to the floor where naked men when the hands behind their backs i could only think about my sons friend who saw her father naked in this position when she turned her head away she was beaten christina who is a diabetic says she lost consciousness after being refused medication she was kept with 34 women for 3 nights in a cell meant to hold 4 people we should look at china mama men were screaming for their mothers there with the sounds of electroshocks sons of horus sounds of beatings and there were women in our cell who knew their children were among them and their husbands too it was horrifying it was more horrible than being beaten ourselves we were afraid that they had captured the whole city and they would kill everybody they were shouting at us that they would do that.

A delegation of west African Leaders arriving in mali on saturday in an effort to reverse their coup that ousted its democratically elected leader the former nigerian president goodluck jonathan. The president of the commission of the regional bloc eco was expected to be among the delegation opposition supporters have been holding rallies celebrating the overthrow of president. The military says it plans to appoint a transitional leader but its not given a timeframe for doing so what ahmed ijaz is following developments from in nigeria hes joining us live now did the delegation obviously hoping as we say that this coup can be reversed but it seems as though an awful lot of people on the streets of mali dont agree. Exactly money and i really dont agree to any reversal of what happened early in the week. Basically the Economic Community of West African States is trying to find a way where these can be resolved on me completely. It. May not come back to power the army said it did not execute a call but the elements of a coup were all there for everyone to see the stock against. Are just too high some diplomats are even saying that the possibility of him returning to power base not there what probably maybe the delegation may achieve is to agree quickly with the military rule is on the possible date of return to democracy in money which they would want to see quickly done as soon as possible they also want to see basically the what also want to see that cater and members of his cabinet have been freed from the military detention they are currently in however there are a section of west African Leaders who feel that the events in mali could be repeated in their own country so that the forefront of pushing for the diverse all of the cool in by michael a lot of people have come out on the streets from day one when this coup was executed by the military officers after the yesterday what we saw a mob of crowd and leaders of the military coup mingling with opposition supporters and hundreds of other millions on the streets of the macall celebrating the overthrow if you bribeable can cater either just as you were talking there we were seeing some live pictures from the airport as the. The delegations his me was coming off the plane and were seeing those pictures again one of the key things in all of this of course is that its one thing to depose the president s and its another thing to put the another government in place with a plan and the problems for still remain dont think they do the question is how prepared were these military officers to deal with the problems in money we saw that in 2012 when the a group of military officers went on a mutiny that eventually overthrew the government of Toumani Toure amadou Toumani Toure and held onto power the basic thing they were protesting against was did you tell your ration of security situation in mali they saw rebellion in the north taking over large parts of mali chasing away the military authorities there what happened immediately after we sold the crisis expanding and its been capitalized by then then by al qaida and other groups in the region in north africa who came into mali and made the situation worse eventually when democracy returned. Who were kicked out was voted the french intervened and chased back the al qaida and other elements out of northern mali this situation eventually got worse right now weve seen how these armed groups of expanded not only from mali to work in a fossil which until 3 or 4 years ago has been a very peaceful country that also expanded into a new general public which of course is having to do with its own problem of insurgency in the north on the border with nigeria so the the thing is so complex right now a lot of people arent sure whether or not the new military government there is prepared and have the resources to deal with the multiple ethnic and other violence happening in mali. Reporting to us from thank you very much indeed. The ruling party in ivory coast has formally chosen president s other son what tata to run for a disputed 3rd term election they accepted the nomination at a rally in our john the opposition says its unconstitutional and amounts to a coup that could unleash chaos or tahrir initially declined to seek a 3rd time to change his mind after his chosen successor died last month and more ahead in the news hour including promising a different approach joe biden and common to harvest present a united front after accepting the democratic nomination.

Aljazeera is manic strain is in misrata in libya with more details on whats been agreed. The head of the internationally recognized gov National Accord in tripoli has called on a cease fire on friday and return i give us all the speaker of the eastern based parliament has also called on a ceasefire now whether or not this will actually lead to a serious and permanent cease fire remains to be seen what we havent seen is Khalifa Haftar and whether or not he will accept the conditions of the ceasefire or not this is gained International Traction with countries welcoming the statement including the u. S. The u. K. Egypt the u. A. E. Qatar and various actors in the libyan conflict we spoke to the spokesman of the military operations here force. And and what he said is whether or not have to or will actually accept or respect the ceasefire agreement is yet to be seen if he does we will we welcome that and we do not want further bloodshed but if he is going to violate the ceasefire agreement they are saying that they are ready to fight and will continue on till they liberate all of libya in his words now there have been previous cease fire agreements in the past that hasnt really amounted to a serious political solution here in libya so whether or not this is going to actually. Be the beginning of a serious political and military solution is yet to be seen well the potential breakthrough came as the warring sides were gearing up for a battle over the city of sirte which has more. Libya has been in turmoil for nearly a decade. Of that to its longtime leader gadhafi in 2011 the roots of whats often described as this rich countrys civil war. The disputed elections in 2014. Disagreement between the then house of representatives and the General National Congress made worse over a socalled road map for libyas future the country split into 2 rival administrations the house of representatives led by the war lords relief after moved to the eastern city of too broke and what became the un backed government of National Accord that by Prime Minister fire as us raj remained in the capital tripoli in the west.

And russia have supported hafta while turkey and qatar have backed the government of National Accord. In april last year hoft old an offensive to take control of tripoli aiming at what he described as cleansing the western zone of terrorist groups. His forces have shut down or taking control of major Oil Facilities in Eastern Libya depriving the country of billions of dollars in revenue tripolis only International Airport has been repeatedly bombed using heavy artillery many civilians have been killed and wounded large areas of southern and western tripoli have been almost completely destroyed in the fighting repeated attempts at un bank cease fire talks of failed. A ceasefire is a decision made by the power brokers by the circumstances and it is not necessarily a libyan decision despite the fact that its the d. N. A. And who announced its decision this time to decision is not libya and the decision is uniquely turkish russia with some input from some of the International Powers and as long as it stays that way its unlikely the cease fire will break. Fridays cease fire announcement comes amid fears of an escalation by both sides mobilizing for a battle over the town suit the gateway to the major all terminals which are under the control of pro have 2 forces for now at least theres hope that agreement between powerful countries that many say have contributed to libyas suffering a backing a ceasefire that could and its civil war chance transferred al jazeera.

S. History spurred by a black lives matter weve been calling for a redirection of the billions of dollars that go into funding and increasingly militarized police force into Community Investment joe biden reasserted that he was Standing Firm and on one of the fun Police Departments i think they need more help they need more assistance we have to make it clear that this is about protecting neighborhoods protecting People Democratic Vice President ial candidate carla harris shrugged off President Trumps characterization of a as nasty and a sort of mad woman i think that there is so much about what comes out of Donald Trumps amount that is designed to distract the American People from what he is doing every day that is about neglect and negligence and harm to the American People and incompetence absolutely. Donald trump dismiss this weeks Democratic National convention and only outlined his line of attack against by new hires but over the last week the democrats held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in American History they spent 4 Straight Days attacking america as racist and horrible country that must be regained joe biden grimly to declared a season of american darkness im the only thing standing between the American Dream and total anarchy madness and chaos and thats what it is the republican National Convention begins on monday she ever terms of washington ok its time for the weather and here is turning now youre going to be talking about a region of the world which has been badly hit by storms over the last few months and its going to see some more it really has its a very active atlantica Hurricane Season so far this year were on the lesser elvia thats am as the votes are going to talk about on the satellite you can see a huge amount of cloud there are 2 storms event not really that easy to spot but this is the 1st one or that forms just before marco is marco so you can see where they both thought that both basically heading towards the west not as i look at laura 1st of all this storm system you can see there has been going the last few hours its been working its way will continue to work its way across as the ports reka on towards the Dominican Republic on into haiti weve got winds at about 75 kilometers an hour gusting stronger than that it has actually changed its Forward Motion it is moving more westerly it is moving very quickly 35 kilometers an hour that is a good thing because it means it doesnt have as long to deposit the very heavy amounts of rain having said all that it will produce heavy rain it will continue its journey westwards it will stay about the same strength as we continue on into sunday but the rainfall we could easily see as much as 150 millimeters this could of course cause cause flooding and dangerously weve always got the threat of mudslides or landslides as well then we can.

I want to go to see a reminder of our top stories this hour russian Opposition Leader alexina vonnie has arrived at the berlin hospital to receive emergency treatment for suspected poisoning involve me is in an induced coma he was initially considered too sick by russian doctors to be moved from siberia but they changed their position late on finding. A delegation from the west African Economic bloc it was has just arrived in miami to meets with the military who took over this week theyre expected to push for evil him bahar hated to be freed and reinstated as president. Head of the u. S. Postal service has told a Senate Committee that mail in ballots will be delivered on time for novembers election postmaster general lewis to joy has faced criticism for changes that have caused delays. Ok more now on our top story on the suspected poisoning of alexina theres a long list of kremlin critics whove been poisoned in the past in 2004 journalist Anna Politkovskaya who reported on russian abuses in chechnya became ill and lost consciousness after drinking tea she recovered but she was shot dead outside her Apartment Building in 2006 later that year former russian spy Alexander Litvinenko died in london after drinking tea laced with a radioactive substance polonium 210 and then in 2018 former russian Double Agents and his daughter yulia were poisoned with a nerve agents nervous shock in the english city of souls but now they survived but a british woman exposed to the chemical diet. But ive hung around here as a senior clinical lecture at the university of Exeter Medical school and hes joining us by skype from bath in the u. K. Thank you very much indeed for being with us i understand that you were linked to the investigation into the recent novacek poisoning so let me ask you in terms of the poisons that can be used for this type of thing how long do poisons normally stay in the body. It depends on them most of these poisons are of the neurotoxin variety there are basically no agents used in industry and when you cannot use them you make them super pollutant and what they do is they are tracked your breathing your neuro transmission and it can hurt our lives you make you are unable to function and checked you can get calmer and the idea is it happens very suddenly so sometimes these chemicals bind it very well certainly with your receptors in your body youre not receptors and then all you have to do is hope and pray that new receptors are generated and that we can keep you alive whilst new jet new you know receptors are generated allow you to function again its a very fine and difficult balancing act that we have to undertake sometimes people survive with difficulties sometimes people do not survive it is as you say a difficult balancing act because on the one hand it is necessary to try to save the life of a patient at the same time i would imagine that the process of identifying which toxin is to blame is a long one how quickly is it possible to identify a toxin and at the same time not put the life of the patient adverse. So in terms of identifying it it depends what youre looking for sometimes we can get a blood sample or a sample from the skin etc and do what we call masks spectroscopy and we might we might just pick it up so my answer to you is your mike pickett cut your mike never pick it up and you can see you can see how with the current person now ali has been poisoned allegedly. Kept him in the russian custody for long enough in the hope that the biological agent will have been diluted washed out degraded and therefore you want to find any evidence so this is what you would call terrorism really or or war games and you my quite good you may never find it one can imagine that theres a tremendous amount of pressure on the berlin doctors from all sides as people are demanding arent answers to this tell us what kind of damage that poisons can do because i imagine from what youre saying that theres no such thing as a situation where somebody really. Emerges completely clear after having been poisoned that there is always some residual effect. So yes it depends on what agent has been used in b. Is what i would call terror attacks where they want to sort of. One harm you and to send a signal to others that dont do this or we will get you so it has to be something that acts fast something that act irreversibly and something that then may leave you with lasting damage as a reminder that this can happen to you do so in very bizarre nerve agent and depend on how much neurological damage it does so its of course those depend how much youve got so as your report said the poor english lady who probably got a high dose unfortunately die so it really is a very difficult balancing act and and for people for people to say oh by the way this is low blood glucose and theres no sign of. A chemical poisoning is ridiculous because from what i hear mr not only became very ill very suddenly and then he lost consciousness and then the rest is history thats not how hypoglycemia presents so of course there is something that has happened something that has been administered to him and we may find out we may never find out but we shouldnt focus all our energies on what was it that caused it what we have to do is look at the signs the symptoms the presentation how he began ill and that in itself tells you a story of something negative as been done to him we really appreciate your giving us the benefit of your expertise very very cunning i thank you very much for joining us on aljazeera and. Malaysia has deported a bangladeshi worker who criticised the governments treatment of undocumented workers in an aljazeera documentary the film locked up in malaysias lockdown follow the lives of undocumented workers who were arrested joining raids in areas where tight restrictions were imposed on how much i was detained and blacklisted last month it was flown to bangladesh on friday aljazeera offices were raided and journalists questioned out of the program is broadcast prompting prompting accusations malaysian government is cracking down on media freedom. Lebanese citizens were not the only victims of the beirut port explosion earlier this month hundreds of syrians were among the thousands whove been injured the u. N. And aid agencies are providing help but they havent been able to reach everyone in a lot of reports. 2 weeks after he was injured and where most of us pain hasnt eased knocked unconscious from the blast of beirut port he spent a few days in hospital and is now left to deal with his injuries alone the father of 6 is a syrian Migrant Worker who are among the worst hit being left out of an already struggling system is not hard. Can i go for a check up this no one to take me someone was supposed to pick me up 5 days ago to scan my heed and im very dizzy i cant get up. Hundreds of syrians were injured in the explosion many worked and lived near the port there were also 30 percent of the more than 180 people confirmed dead and they too are among those unaccounted for. The jewish women my daughter but if it. Were still on my wife broke her butt and she needs leg surgery and cannot move my other daughter or broken bones on her neck. The kino family lived here for 13 years like so many others they had no idea the smoke that was billowing from the port less than a kilometer away would trigger such a devastating explosion that is why the family was outside when it happened falling debris killed allie kinos 16 year old daughter sidra the family has since moved in with the eldest son mahmoud whose home is too small and income too little to care for them in an unwelcoming country in the middle of im an immigrant so i mean the hospital where my father was treated demanded money even though the ministry of health said it could cover the cost for all the victims Hospital Management insisted syrians had to pay we managed to discharge him after a journalist who was at the hospital brought attention to our case. The nearly bankrupt state has been largely absent in relief efforts but even before the blast human Rights Groups have documented how Syrian Refugees and migrants are discriminated against the keno family hopes they will receive support from the un which is helping 100000 lebanese and syrians rebuild their homes. You know a lot of hugs about of i dont know where i will be in the near future im at my sons right you know i dont know what is next to the world but. The explosion destroyed neighborhoods devastated lives and peoples livelihoods but for those who already live on the margins of society the road to recovery has to start. Beirut. A huge fire has broken out at a large government building in jakarta that is to 100. 00 firefighters about the attorney generals building in the indonesian capital this office block houses the headquarters of the indonesian Prosecution Service so far there are no reports of any deaths or injuries. Doctors in kenyas Public Hospitals are on strike over delayed salaries and pro quality protective gear to treat coronavirus patients police fired tear gas at more than 300 medics demonstrating in nairobi on friday iger is growing over allegations that government officials stole millions of dollars in funds for protective equipment at least 700. 00 Health Workers have been infected with over 1010. 00 have died the chief of the World Health Organization has said it would be criminal if funds meant for protective gear are being stolen any level of corruption is unacceptable or any type of court action is unacceptable however. Related to a p p p a life saving for me its actually murder because if field workers would without p. P. We are risking their lives and that also respects the lives of the people they said dr Dennis Keller is acting secretary general at the kenya medical practitioners pharmacists and Dentists Union he says the government isnt offering doctors any protection. Can earn a doctorate now is working under extreme conditions where we are made to work with limited people we are merely to work with substandard he is in some cases and some of the terms we have been forced to reuse some of the people and. Also the fact that a huge number of doctors and Health Care Workers will be acted and are to be taken of active management of patients so there is strain in the numbers and as a unit of really try to push for the measure to hire more workers but the speed at which they have been doing to the local famously to this employer and the tragedy for the whole person or the medical cover is that they d doctors in some of the counties in kenya to be a little be made whole insurance cover had expired 2 months ago and they have been working the butt in a medical cover and when they fall sick they have to pay from the book and the full senate if you want your frontline so that they list that with government to do for you is to protect to just treat you as you fall sick or even your you know you are trying to push for them to compensate those of pleasure that Health Care Workers they have more than that and will for their top if they pay for their butts that are willful climbing so thats really where all of the major issues when it comes to me walking the bottom of it could get worse and for us as doctors and we dont dont just wake up when the and decide to dont know what to do in the middle of a crime then well try to get your home and phone the trust them when corona virus was announced in kenya thats in early march and you had endless meetings with them than media b. S. And appeals for them to be able to help present and sadly nothing much has been coming. Artists in mexico have been severely impacted by the lockdown triggered during the spread of coronavirus some of explored connecting audiences to the use of technology and others have taken their work to the streets their aim is to remind the public of the importance of experiencing theatrical pieces face to face. When i found this my name he said. That they are rector of the ghetto Theater Company gets scared and they have to say that. This project was born from our need to defend the art as an essential a keep it in mexico and the rest of the world. I guess in recent years we have had a fascination for the aesthetics of the us for months and doing this monster confinement we managed to find how this is a sign to help us face the situation and be able to connect to the audience at a distance and protect it thats why we use the helmets. To keep. Giving wash away the performance is something very simple we see 2 human beings who meet one of them represents the arts and the other one represents the audience. We still believe in the portico idea of the pending human healings and that the most valuable part of the theater is that synergy between humans heart to heart and. The. Storm that was radiant this is a very tough time but the artists are really going to creating spartan art pieces for the world. To look in what i want is the audience to see all artists astronauts as heroes. I recollected right now people are living in fear i am not afraid anymore since i started dreaming about this project and i want to instill discouraged for the people so they all come with me to the streets. And then say ok im what just many women have died and thats very painful people have died because theyve lost their jobs and thats very painful too so that hurts me.
