Now the russian Opposition Leader alexina valley has been transferred to a hospital in the german capital balin to get emergency treatment for suspected poisoning and valleys evacuation was delayed by russian doctors he said he was too sick to be moved from a hospital in the siberian city of on sc but they then changed their position late on friday after he was seen by german doctors dominic kane reports. This is where his journey has brought him berlins world renowned chef hospital and the start of treatment his supporters hope will save the life of one of russias most prominent dissidents he was brought here on board a special flight from siberia the man whose group arranged the journey says now than his condition remains paul insists just come on shore and this is basically its very worrying were all happy that hes landed safely here in berlin but it doesnt mean anything in itself because his physical condition is still of concern its clear that if his original flight hadnt made the Emergency Landing in arms when it did he would have died 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 now families friends and family believe he drank tea that had been poisoned just before he boarded a flight to moscow from thompson they say officials in russia then deliberately delayed his transfer to berlin to allow time for what ever was in his system to degrade making it harder to identify the authorities of 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 takeoff but if you ask but i see alex in avani is well known for his fight against corruption in his country but right now his fight is just to survive dominic cain aljazeera. Well u. S. House of representatives is meeting in a rare saturday session to discuss funding for the Postal Service which has become a key issue in the run up to this years president ial election the democrat controlled house is set to approve 25000000000. 00 of extra funding and blocked changes to the system before novembers election representatives a Holiday Store over concerns cost cutting measures planned by the Services Boss a trump donor could slow down the delivery of ballots or Shihab Rattansi joins us live now from capitol hill and shall of course awaiting for this vote to take place even if it passes as expected its still very uncertain that the measure will be taken up. The final passage is actually underway now the vote for final passage democrats are well on their way to the 218 or so that they need to get this through but yes this goes nowhere from here its a symbolic vote the senate has no intention of taking this up what nancy pelosi the House Speaker has said there is this is to increase the pressure on the senate to act in a time when it is him directly proven that there is a major slowdown on the way in Postal Service and on time delivery from the Postal Service is. Own statistics and people are noticing it too that checks arent coming that prescription drugs arent coming that food is rotting in in sorting facilities and so on so what this bill does is it does give 25000000000 dollars to the Postal Service but it also rolls back the changes the postmaster general has instituted rolls everything back to where we were at the beginning of the year and not only that it prevents the postmaster general from making any changes of tool until january 1st of next year or until the pandemic is over nancy pelosi making it clear this isnt just about the election obviously there are concerns about the election with donald trump constantly saying quite openly that he wants to sabotage the Postal Service so it can deal with whats expected to be a massive number of mail and votes nancy pelosi says this is about the postmaster general effectively ordering a slowdown in the Postal Service just when americans need it the most theyre up a couple of things going on here there is donald trump on the one hand who appears to be wanting to discredit the Postal Service who who wants to slow down mail delivery but theres also rather long held plans from Steve Minucci in the treasury secretary and from wall street and the back of the of the do knows who fund this place where im standing who for a long time i wanted to privatized the Postal Service is a lot of money to be made clearly in the Postal Service and republicans and some democrats it has to be said along for you why not and whats the best way off making a Government Agency right for privatization is to make it as inefficient as possible Cutting Services cutting the way that mail is delivered over time and so on. On time delivery is becomes a disaster the competition starts picking up picking up the contracts that would have gone to the Postal Service fed ex u. P. S. And so on so thats almost an informal privatization but also then the public mood can turn against the u. S. P. S. Which right now is the most popular federal agency in the country and that there might be more of a time of a privatization so theres all sorts of all sorts of things going on not necessarily just connected to the election but if the bill. As you say can anything then be done to reverse that slowdown before november the postmaster general was here in congress on friday he said he would suspend the changes that hes been making he didnt say he would overturn the changes that hes already made. In stopping for example over time. From being collected by by by the mail by by mail carriers which is actually key to getting the mail on time he never explicitly ordered mail carriers not to claim overtime he just said from now on everyone has to have to meet the the timings of their shifts exactly on the dot so therefore if anything is you know if you know youre halfway through your service use of a few more dollars even to deliver a few few letters to now you cant do it youve got to go come back you cant you cant wait around at the Postal Service depo for all the mail that will mail to be loaded into your van you leave when we say you when youre supposed to leave and so on so these are kind of informal changes that dont explicitly say no overtime is allowed so theres always going to sleight of hand so thats why she said look we need to we need to reverse these changes so some changes will be reversed but it right now its unclear as to whether whether the postmaster general really means there was a lot of skepticism on capitol hill on friday and would like to see more monday when the when the postmaster general appears in front of a House Committee which is expected to get a more rocky time because. Theyre just they really necessarily believe what hes saying. All right thanks very much cabbagetown see on capitol hill thanks.
