Theres an ultimatum to each day before the strait know. One of the thousands who lost loved ones in cambodia is killing field commanders commanders who ran a tool to present dies in hospital. And im trying to hamas not have all the sports arena williams is through to the 2nd round that the u. S. Open she dotes to win a record will be could in 24th grass them think. We begin this news with breaking news the German Government says tests conducted on russian opposition figure alexina valmy have revealed unequivocal proof that he was poisoned last month with a chemical nerve agent the prominent kremlin critic fell ill during a flight to moscow hes in a serious but stable condition at a hospital in balin where he was brought from siberia 10 days ago a German GovernmentSpokesman Says toxicology tests on blood samples show the chemical used is from the novacek group of nerve agents doctors who treated him in russia say they found no evidence of poisoning well in a moment to across to moscow for reaction from there but fast correspondent joins us live from london where hes been following developments in germany and the team i see that im heiko must the German Foreign minister is now insisting on a russian investigation. Thats right the German Government has reacted very swiftly and very toughly to this news from the military oratory in germany i can ask the foreign minister has said we condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms leaving no room for doubt that the germans believe this was a deliberate poisoning of alexei navalny. Has summoned the Russian Ambassador to germany for talks and hes called for those responsible to be found without actually suggesting who they might be but its clear that the germans are very very unhappy about this and very clear about what they think has happened of course earlier in the day a spokesperson for chancellor Angela Merkel had said that this military laboratory in germany had found quote the doubtless presence of. A poison or rather an agent from the navi chalk group and of course that scum after tests from mr armey who has been in an induced coma in the Charity Hospital in berlin now for some while i imagine the dame in london this must all be reviving memories of 2nd scrabbles poisoning back in 20. Of course thats what people will think of when they hear the word novacek its the soviet era nerve agent and it was found to be used all the surrogates group our former russian former russian spy and his daughter in southwest england 2 years ago now they were both ill but in fact the substance ended up killing a member of the public who happens to find a container containing some of the leftover agent just a if you like on the streets and all along russia denied any involvement in that even though the british authorities actually identified the 2 russian men who they think actually carried out the attack and it caused a lot of alarm almost panic in particularly in the city of salzburg where the attack happened because for months your forties couldnt tell people exactly what had happened and where the substance had gone so it really is a worrying situation. In london for us thank you so much nadine well lets now move over to Alexandra Steele janowicz got for to get the view from moscow alexandra this has all happened i know just over the last hour or so but i see we are already getting some pushback from the kremlin. Yes exactly whilst the germany action was safe here the reactions are of course and restrained in a way so minister of Foreign Affairs responded by saying that russia is still waiting for german prosecutor General Office to respond to their request and their request was to send all the results of the analysis that were danton of irony all sorts or state for instance what was the level of his pollen as to rise in the plane so before he arrived into germany and German Colony wanting all these details and a member of the Russian Parliament he was actually ahead of the russian a committee for Foreign Affairs. In the parliament he said that russia is very willing to cooperate but this statements coming from germany have to be followed with some solid and concrete proof so the situation now is that from the oath or it is the reaction is still restrained of but we heard before. The russian doctors found not poisoned they actually at least not by any with a diagnosis of metabolic disorder disorder of hydrates and thats 2 labs in russia didnt find anything suspicious and that the investigation which is actually in the brain investigative state didnt found any reason to think of any any foul play on the other hand a position saying in one voice we knew it all the symptoms were there and the friend of the and his colleague revenge than of tweeted that a using love it jockeys actually like signing a crime saying that it can only be used by certain state organizations namely by for instance military intelligence or the state Security Service so the opposition is pointing fingers and theyre pointing fingers at the authorities well i want to ask you more about that alexander because as nadeem was saying the navi chalky that agents was what was used on sergei scriptural back in 2018 and then it was linked to the military Intelligence Agency the g. R. U. So does that now make it more difficult for the kremlin to distance itself from this. Well yes it does but if we go back to those could be by the case even though Scotland Yard identified 2 suspects and journalist also invented fired them as members of the military intelligence russia denied it they said these are 2 russian jurists there were completely innocent they were sightseeing in salzburg we saw in famous interview with to do serve to people claiming they have nothing to do we dont it being and this is a sort of a better and that we are seeing that when some other state accuses rush of some foul play of boys in their opponents or Double Agents like in the case of screwed by russia is saying it is not us or there is no evidence and you have to provide us with solid broth and what you are giving us is not solid proof so it wouldnt be surprising if we get such a sore now in this case that isnt a story out of its called for there for us in moscow thank you so much alexandra where we are awaiting further reaction from germany and chancellor Angela Merkel is due to make a statement very shortly we will have more in a few in this news hour on moving on now and 14 people accused of helping Gunmen Attacked the french the terrible magazine Charlie Hebdo are going on trial the magazine was targeted after publishing controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed security was tight as you can see as Police Convoys carrying the accused arrived in court a short time ago its been 5 years now since armed men stormed the paris office of Charlie Hebdo 12 people were then killed a policewoman and 4 people inside a jeweler supermarket who also killed over the following 48 hours the 3 gunmen were shot by police in separate standoffs no doubt about that is following the trial for us from paris. There is a lot of interest in this trial here in france because so many people of course remember very vividly those january 2015 attacks in which 17 people were killed there was a huge outpouring of grief at the time a lot of shock around the country and whats very particular about this trial is that the 3 gunman they were principally involved are absent because they were killed at the time of the attack shortly after 2015 by police now amedee coulibaly carried out attacks against the jewish supermarket and killed 4 hostages it killed a police woman just a couple of days before that 2 brothers sheriff inside quassia stormed the offices of the statistical newspaper in france Charlie Hebdo killing staff and a Police Officer 12 people there in all so we have here today on trial we have 14 people who are on trial for being accomplices to those 3 gunmen for giving those gunmen the sort of they accused i should say of giving those gunmen the sort of Logistical Support that they needed to carry out those attacks everything from supplying weapons to helping the gunman with communications that 11 of those accused are actually in court in person 3 are being tried in absentia including the wife of the supermarket attack amedee creepily who left france just a few days before those attacks for syria her whereabouts are unknown but it has recently been reported in french media that she could still be alive.

Now french president Emmanuel Macron has held a joint News Conference with the iraqi Prime Minister in baghdad the crown is the most senior foreign official to visit me since he took office and may discussed iraqs sovereignty and light of the rival influences from iran and the United States. Any foreign intervention may undermine the 1st exhibited by you as a government and i believe this visit carries a special significance as you represent a heavyweight in the region you are the cradle of civilization and iraq has always enjoyed a unique position in his to a geographic large scale land we needed iraq. And iraq we do not wish iraq to be a battlefield for proxy wars we wish all neighboring and International States to respect iraqs sovereignty and refrain from meddling in our Domestic Affairs well our correspondent also jabari joins me now from the iraqi capital though so this was not 1st official visit to baghdad and it was only publicly announced at the very last minute whats been the main thrust of this trip. Well the main message that the french president brought with him to iraq is that the french government is firmly behind the iraqi officials in trying to rebuild this country after years of conflict and that the french president said that france will do everything it can to try and help iraq get back on its feet to rebuild the countrys infrastructure that have been destroyed and that they are ready and willing to help again to join the fight against eisel in iraq the french troops that withdrew from iraq just last march about 3000 of them were stationed in iraq as part of the Coalition Forces to help fight eisel in the country since the coronavirus pandemic the french government withdrew their forces there is only a handful of them left but the french president said that they are ready to help in any capacity that they can the main gist of the visit was that the french government wants to be a part of this countrys rebuilding efforts the french president said that any help they can provide they will do so the Prime Minister mustafa he said that france could actually play a role not only in iraqs security in the future but also in its Economic Future as well that is something they will need a lot of help with the iraqi economy has suffered drastically because of the falling over prices over the past few months as well as the limitations that they have due to the lack of infrastructure in the country the french president also stressed that its important for iraq to maintain its sovereignty that they try to carve out their own half in light of the fact that theyre caught in between 2 very close allies that is the United States and iran and that they should try to remove themselves from the fight that is ongoing between those 2 countries that is constantly playing out on the iraqi soil so there are that message in the theme of all the meetings that the french president had throughout the day was that the Iraqi Government is not alone any help that they need in the future at the french will be there to help them. There for us in baghdad thank you very much.

Orders of the camaro rouge his top executioner even though during his trial in 2009 that he was following orders he admitted what happened in the prison known by its code name is 21 clinton something that i would like to acknowledge my legal responsibility for all the crimes that happened in this 21 especially the torture and execution of people that the committee rouge wanted to reveal cambodia in the late 1970 s. And executed anyone who might pose a threat to those ambitions as many as 2000000 were killed including teaches and academics and anyone deemed the worst enemies of the regime was sent to be executed by doing he was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to life in prison for war crimes and crimes against humanity since then only 2 of the camaro rouge commanders have been convicted and they may well be the last leader pol pot was never brought to trial and died in 1908 from the start the justice process has been hampered by funding problems and interference from the government led by Prime Minister hun sen hes a former member of the command and has repeatedly called for the trials to end a judge who presided at the dog trial says she was always concerned that the government would only let the process go so far.

S. F. And is the Doctors Without Borders project coordinator for cover 19 on the island of that bus and she joins us on skype from there caroline this is something that everyones been dreading for months now let me start by asking you what your priorities are right now. Well right now priorities now that this 1st case theres been a problem is to make sure. You dont that conflict receive them you know that isolation can be dont rip people who were found to have been. In a course that is available for people what has happened in. Haiti. Which is actually absolutely not what you meant because it was sort peoples access to social services and there were actually not what we need we. Dont need it so you. Caroline i understand that you m. S. F. Were forced to close your covert 1000 Isolation Center more than months ago now by greek or thirties whats the dynamic now between the government and a groups like yours on the island. So we are very much in touch with the republicans to see how we can so forth but in the end a month ago he had to close our our own covert isolation and be in the seventys because issues with urban planning we needed a moments peace he was open and there does. Conditions of a Global Pandemic unfortunately he could not find a solution but it forms a new because of the people. Who will be very vulnerable to an outbreak as you save money in this case 40000 people at the moment theres actually a total of people in the town so numbers have gone down from 20000 earlier this year but ive sworn over crap more than 4 times more the number of people that theres the sports weve seen the overcrowded these are the access to work and so he says its been limited people cannot have this since people cannot wash their hands on a regular basis and there are really worried also about 230 people who are especially at risk for cold and because of either age from little tease who are still is they in the camp and those are the people who should also be evacuated urgency of course caroline even as grace lifted restrictions on the some of the some of the city is around the country i remember a lot of attempts remained on the lockdown and now that maria is back under quarantine do you think this might affect how the government deals with other camps around the country too. Yes so what weve seen so far there were already there was not a full lockdown im already on triggers for new or very heavy movement is fiction so people were heavily restricted in what we now as you say very rightly at a time that tourists and reach citizens could move around in whichever way they want to. Have seen that it has been several practice for rebook berties when a case is going in the refugee camp it was done completely but its exactly because they are so very much overcrowded people cannot keep their distance we been the ferry. People do not have access or and sanitation soldiers for anything of the camps actually does not help them in any way to be protected or does not help to protect others. So employment or some utility tom there are 100. 00 cases. There is only one asshole actually there is no real arguments to install nice these very heavy things that sins and even on the other hand is having a huge Mental Health impact on people who have nothing left for them in terms of access to services in terms of just the possibility to go out of the can for a few hours so you can breath want to be treated like a normal person and soul is not only that there is norm koger be felt in fact of his quarantine its actually that we know there will be even more and they couldnt help the know he would act on these very strong statement. That the doctors project coordinator for credit line. That we receive all the best for their efforts to contain this thanks for being with us can we. Now russias foreign minister has ruled out negotiations with Opposition Leaders and batteries Sergei Lavrov accuses them of illegally working with ukrainian extremists to stay on rest against president alexander knew that didnt provide any evidence meanwhile that un his foreign minister has told aljazeera that what he calls russian weakness may be behind the kremlins decision to back. Been a smith reports from lithuania as capitol hill yes but its that group looking emboldened with messages of support from russia Alexander Lukashenko says theyll be a bloodbath if hes forced from the presidency as bella rips the shitty i want to protect what we spent 25 years creating there are thousands millions of people behind me theyre the ones im worried about im not worried about power as some in russia say luker is clinging on with blue hands i dont want them to cut my country up after i glued it together after the broken pieces of the soviet empire. That been 4 weeks of peaceful protests in the capital minsk. Said he won 80 percent of the vote for his reelection the e. U. U. S. And u. K. Say voting was neither free nor fair. Russias foreign minister says without providing evidence that what he described as 200 extremists from ukraine have infiltrated the protests and the trying to stir up violence. Suppose for years sure we have confirmation that this is being directed from ukraine to a tory nongovernment organisations working to provoke radical offense and other battles styles but it russia has been in conflict with ukraine for 6 years lavrov who met his belarus counterpart on wednesday said nato and e. U. Calls for new elections are destructive. Lithuanias foreign minister told aljazeera he thinks russia is making a strategic mistake by backing lucas unfortunately russia still continues to support for this compromise leadership not. Understanding that only the process could pull it out of this situation and what their reasoning is another question maybe they believe its weakness if they will give up or somehow to sacrifice this leader which is totally compromised where there is also to have this backlash both home and frankly also risking. Spoil relations with the people of the liberals because they are not on the russian. Lithuania latvia and estonia have imposed travel bans on and 28 other members of his government and want the rest of the e. U. To follow suit on thursday russias Prime Minister heads to mint and on friday bella russias defense minister is in moscow all indications that the kremlin is sticking by Alexander Lukashenko the European Union hasnt taken sides but it has called for new elections for the imposition of sanctions on those responsible for Election Fraud and violence against protesters. But its aljazeera vilnius. Still ahead here on the aljazeera will have all the latest on Donald Trumps campaign trail after his visit to a city at the center and to racism thats. And can this new arrival of the supporting feature. Details coming up and say. Hello thats almost a house and dry across much of the middle east you have see wanted to shout across the falls south across into yemen even a scattered showers across into areas of a society but the touches a say remain on the high side particularly through the eastern end of the madras them as they went about for several days and it is the elsewhere temperatures again back into the high fortys when is a very light so were not really. Much less sandal dust but no other course i was saying any cooling effect from any sort of breezing but by friday in doha 36 celsius the winds coming really from the east very light so feeding very humid indeed in the talmud is not coming down in jerusalem so again for the next few days they could be as high as 39. 00 degrees celsius which is a good 10 degrees above the average for the beginning of september thank you rain through Central Africa and also for a few showers continue to work their way across will central and eastern as the south africa also of these madagascar saying quite a few downfalls of the next couple of days and then as they had off into friday those showers clearing away from south africa but they already very widespread through the mozambique and up through tanzania and indeed all the way up towards somalia so for the next few days in capetown we go. To david 10 which is not too bad in the high teens celsius and that important is that again a case of. On a few on sunday. Chinas new National Security role has tightened beijings grip on hong kong and stifled protests that rocked the city a year. With prodemocracy candidates now disqualified from running elections and activists fearing imprisonment or worse does this spell the end for one country 2 Systems People in power investigate hong kong and get on it because you know. When the news breaks and the story its real and theyre right about this explosion when people need to be. Leaving and the story needs to be told aljazeera has teams on the ground a major challenge im giving it away and the control to bring you more room rules when in documentaries and rely. On air and online. The. And again i must tell you tale and lets remind you of our top stories here the salang tests in germany on russian dissident alexina valley have found unequivocal evidence of poisoning the soviet era nerve agent around the fell last month and was airlifted from siberia to germany doctors say he remains in a serious condition and cannot rule out long term damage. The trials began in front of 14 people accused of helping Gunmen Attacked the satirical magazine charlie after and at a jewish supermarket 17 people were killed in paris 5 years ago after the magazine published cartoons of prophet mohammed. Well lets now get more on our top story on the. Joining me now from bosses barred from kanya hes a senior clinical electra at university of Exeter Medical school great to have you back with us thanks for your time i do want to start with what weve been hearing from the germans that they have an equivocal proof that a volley was poisoned i know that there was that delay and him being airlifted out of siberia his wife was suggesting that maybe because there was a dot desire to wait for toxins to dissipate from his system how on equivocal can evidence be here. Well. Who are able to say in germany but we have to go. Every. My advice would be even if you look at our signs and symptoms and the way. Mr navarro knee became ill it clearly indicated that there was a event that happened to him suddenly and then sudden collapse but also on the basis of signs symptoms and the presentation of the case he would say this is a cute boys main event what i am concerned about is if it is shown that this was not a child what about the contacts of missed another missed no while the himself because then maybe arent the people who have also been exposed to the same agent who may have been in use on the group right well so i want to ask you more about how that works if this is a toxin from another check talk that maybe the now the agents that are potentially even more toxic than sarin for instance just how do they work when they when they interact with a human system. The way they work is theyre what we call a group of anti cholinergic agents and what it is basically disrupts nervous during transmission so what happens is your muscles stop working your temperature control systems stop working it may affect your breathing it may affect your Central Nervous system so basically what happens is no agents block certain receptors and having blocked them the consequences are whatever that another receptor was supposed to do and a centrally the patient goes into lockdown or you know they are unable to breathe properly and aided their other temperature regulation system stop working their messed up to have an epileptic 61. 00 those are the broad range of signs and symptoms of cause or also have a direct oxic effect on the liver the kidneys and the heart thats quite a hefty list of the fact that novell me right now remains alive hes in hospital what kind of long term damage could he be looking at it depends very much on what preventative measures were instituted when he became ill and also of course on the dose so the greater the goes the greater the danger the greater the delay in implementing support systems the greater the organ damage the time is critical and does is critical and we hope that it will make a good recovery we hope he will have a recovery without any long term damage to other organs only time will tell us wealthy as nerve agents were developed by the soviet union back in the seventys and eightys and i know knowledge of them is very highly restricted does that then narrow down who would have access to or the ability to produce them. Well its well known in the Intelligence Community that. Despite regulations of International Agreement nations was developing these agents and we know that the soviet union as it was breaking up did have supplies of these what we would call potent agents but that is not to say that other states dont also have access to this post and no agents which is never just blame one area we know that many states have also got access to nerve agents well i know the russians said they tested the valley for poison when he was in siberia and they insisted that all these tests were negative with an agent like this is that possible depending on how hard depends on how hard you want to look and how hard you look its as straightforward as that if you look hard enough and you look hard enough with in an inquisitive nature you will find evidence so in terms of looking for evidence you can look for do i find the presence of an intact navi just like substance or do i look for breakdown products of a nerve agent and you can look for both and any fact you should not only look for those you should look for a big what you would call a battery of agents that you pick up not only one but you pick up other substances and get a better more clearer more precise picture that is what any forensic scientist would do look for us a battery of chemicals not only one well there are demands for an investigation about pan county as a from university of Exeter MedicalSchool Thanks for being with us again it was great to get you inside here on out of there thank you. Well german chancellor Angela Merkel as we said earlier has now taken the stage and has been speaking about the of on the case our correspondent in baba is following all the drama developments for us from london nadeem i see that Angela Merkel is now saying that this was attempted murder thats correct to the last 10 minutes or so shes been addressing giving a press conference she said that shed met with other cabinet colleagues earlier in the afternoon she confirmed that it was their strong belief that the valley has been poisoned by a nerve agent and shes talked about as you said of attempted murder so shes clear that this was. An attempt by somebody to kill the russian Opposition Leader she said that germany would be keeping its European Union and nato members up to date with what they found out this information has come off the test at a military laboratory in germany lets remind ourselves that alexy only is in the Charity Hospital in central berlin where hes still in an induced coma now that hospital in the last half hour or so has said that he is still in a serious condition but that the effects of the poison are actually lessening so there are signs that he is on the road d to recovery but they have hinted that it could be a very very long process simply because of the time that hes spent in intensive care nadeem baba there with all the latest for us watching developments from london thank you nadine well u. S. President donald trump is heading for the battleground state of North Carolina as he continues to focus his Reelection Campaign on law and order on tuesday he ignored pleas from officials in the state of wisconsin and went ahead and visited the city of commotion the scene of recent antiracism protests well thats now speak to our White House Correspondent candy how kitties in washington kimberly i see the president is set to continue his tour of swing states today. Thats right when day after visiting the battleground state of wisconsin the u. S. President now headed to the battleground state of North Carolina where he will visit a battleship now why is he going there officially is to the claire this world war 2 Heritage City the location but at the same time youve outlined why the president is touring these swing states that is because he is in a fierce battle with his rival democratic president ial candidate joe biden for those states the u. S. President needs North Carolina to win the white house and there are a lot of supporters there he wants to hang on to not only veterans but also Law Enforcement were 62 days from election day now the stuff in a new poll shows 6 that the president is gaining on joe biden following the conventions of the Democratic Party and Republican Party but there still is a wide gap biden leads 49 percent to trumps 41 percent so what weve seen is donald trump making a play for some very key supporters of joe biden that right now are a little bit fragile and those are those voters in the suburbs donald trump has for the last week been hammering down on the message of law and order that the suburbs particularly outside American Cities would be radically altered under a biden presidency he also adds that he believes that there would be a rattling of the stock market now Financial Markets are prepared for either according to most analysts have either in the white house but what donald trump is doing is looking to distract from cope with 19 the fact that cases are rising in the United StatesAmericans Still blaming him for that so we know that biden is going to hammer back on this today theyre going to kind of dueling events hes going to talk about safely reopening schools and then we understand that he will be traveling to connote show wisconsin on thursday where we understand he will be meeting with Community Leaders to talk about Racial Division and healing olivia what chain trumps visit to North Carolina very closely here on out is there for you can be how could the finale thanks company.
