Current leader president alexander lukashenko. Joe biden accepts the democratic partys nominee for the presidency balance to end what he calls a season on the darkness in america shores of the great honor premier most of them are just this nomination for president in their current stage of americas. Fight and urges americans to good night and return the top of the missile. And a tale of hero was in the wreckage of days with a nurse holding an armful of newborns she rescued from the blast she told us what happened in the infamous war that day. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us doctors treating russian opposition politician alexei nepali are refusing to let him be transferred to germany for treatment saying hes too. Sick thats after a german n. G. O. S send an air ambulance to pick him up now vali is in a coma at this siberian hospital following what his supporters believe was a poisoning linked to his Political Activities now doctors there say he has been diagnosed with a metabolic disease caused by low blood sugar they told reporters they had not found any evidence that he was poisoned the outspoken kremlin critic was rushed to intensive care in after falling ill on a flight from toms to moscow prompting an emergency landing. Lets get a closer look now at how the situation on faulted. Alexei navalny shortly before his flight drinking tea was it poisoned his supporters believe so. During the flight from siberia to moscow no of all new became sick video on board the plane apparently shows him screaming in pain from the toilet the captain declares a medical emergency and lands the plane in nearby on an unconscious nerve all knee is transferred to a waiting ambulance you know volumnia was brought to this hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit where he was unconscious and on a ventilator. Alexina volumnia is russias most prominent opposition politician he planned to challenge blood amir putin in 2018 but was prevented from running in the president ial election. But Many Russians know him as a new report an Anti Corruption activist and his team has used drones to expose the luxury lifestyles of figures connected to the kremlins in this case friends of former Prime Minister and president Dmitri Medvedev activist be out there for zillow says not all news reported symptoms remind him of his own poisoning he blames the secret police. You lose your coordination your sense of smell and sight and you cant walk and then you end up in the intensive care ward in a serious condition thats very similar to what happened to me 2 years ago and then. Theres a lot it was treated in berlins sherry tay hospital the clinic is now waiting to treat know volumnia if hes permitted to travel there. Lets go right to moscow our correspondent Emily Sherwin a standing by for us there hi emily is there any update on of all these health status. Well weve heard a statement from the head doctor of the cost but where nobody is being treated and he said that the working diagnosis of the doctors there at the moment is that not only has. Met about metabolic disease so essentially problems with his digestion and that the fact that he fell unconscious was caused by low blood sugar just or reminder that he was carried out of the plane yesterday with these piercing screams of pain but hes been unconscious ever since that hes still unconscious now and that doctors yesterday were saying that hes been fighting for his life there have been actually a few inconsistency and was weve been hearing from the doctors even today initially they said there wouldnt be a diagnosis for several days then they said that he wasnt poisoned that they could say that with some security and then today they were also saying that some Industrial Chemicals were found on the nice clothes and skin but that they arent poison. While the doctors and of all these why for giving statements to the media earlier this morning lets listen to what they have to say today i can say that none of the tests we have carried out so far indicate the presence of poison in the blood. Of european doctors this is the patient. No one is being allowed in they did not even let me in to see him not seen him today. We demand to have my husband released to us so that we can transfer him to a european clinic where he can be properly treated bush told you you know really of all these teams his family believes that there is a political motivation behind not allowing of all need to be transported to berlin for example for treatment do we know if theres anything to that. Well no we dont we dont know but that is what these team has been insisting that the doctors arent motorcade motivated by medical reasons but by political reasons and that theyre actually kind of stalling on this transfer so that the poison that his supporters say is in the vine is body can pass through his body and so that can then no longer be detected by european experts thats what his team has been saying on social media meanwhile nominees team and his wife have been pushing for a transfer which they say will save his life theyve been appealing to the European Court of human rights and also there is now been a letter from the vine is why if you will be on the violin to bloody near putin himself asking for a transfer earlier we heard a kremlin statement about the situation with spokesperson need to keep his cool saying that its not up to the kremlin to decide whether or not he can be transferred because they arent doctors and that that should be the doctors decision so a bit of a standoff that were seeing there this all started as a volley was coming back from siberia do we know what he was working on there. Well we dont 100 percent know what he was working on there especially because team have been rather tight lipped about that they have said that he was working on another one of his Anti Corruption investigations now one siberian outlet has been reporting that he could have been working on an investigation into local politicians from the ruling united russia party. And novosibirsk that outlet. That they know that he was in. And in tones and that would make sense because in upcoming Regional Elections in september there are independent candidates running in both of those cities that. Are supporting nonbinding has been advocating this strategy for the Upcoming Elections of what he calls smart voting essentially asking voters to vote for anyone but the candidate from united russia putins party. And reporting from moscow thank you very much. Well oversee an opposition politicians. Says she will return to our country when it is safe to do so to head off they are fled to lithuania after rejecting rejecting the results of the election earlier this month today she called for more strikes at factories across the country to try to force new president ial elections meanwhile in minsk people gather to support the oppositions newly formed Coordination Council after authorities opened a criminal case accusing them of attempting to seize power now speaking from vilnius he said osgar urged her supporters to resist intimidation and to keep fighting i call for all the countries to respect the serenity over our country and to respect the choice of our people and the. Place for threatened you know i. Dont think i would like to. Discuss this question now i think that every person in our country. Feels fear and scary now but its our mission to start over all over a few years and move further. Davies Nick Connelly is on the ground in minutes covering the latest on this story for us hi nick we saw just enough chaos speaking earlier urging better with people to continue their protests and indeed it seems like theres no sign of them winding down so what comes next in mens. Well sumi it is true that protest has become the new normal here in minsk where over 10 days since that rigged election and people have been coming out every evening into the main square here in minsk not only that lots of more diffuse protests im standing here on independence avenue the main street and if you just sit down and half a youll see groups of people 10203040 walking up and down with flags with flowers in their hands the white red flag of the protesters so its really a very difficult situation to follow i think thats part of the strategy to prevent the government and Security Forces from detain people to not have one central protest camp we have seen in recent days though a clamp down on the more organized parts of the opposition so not only those Opposition Leaders who are being called in for interviews by Security Services but also leaders of strikes some of the Big Companies here that was a big worry for the government that those companies go on strike the main focus now will be on sunday last sunday we saw hundreds of thousands of people gather here in minsk for the biggest one of the biggest protests in belarus history now the organizers want to bring in even more people from across the country the question will be will the government let these people travel to me will they prevent people getting on buses and trains and cause i will be see an even bigger grouping over position supporters filled the streets syrians and they put the news of a new sanctions against us how is that going down. I think the sanctions as such not that much of a phillip a boost for the opposition here but. Its present for the past quarter century have been under wave after wave of sanctions most of those of them being withdrawn without looking to doing much in return what was crucial though. Was the users not to recognize this last election that was definitely a morale boost to the people out on the streets here in minsk it was a sign of hope in terms of practical help for them it doesnt do very much but it does show that europe is paying attention and is watching and following their protests with sympathy. Makes me have an idea where this is heading i mean you mentioned that prosecutors are launching a criminal probe against opposition activists it doesnt seem like theres much room for dialogue between the 2 sides. Will definitely. Is doing nothing to engage the protesters it seems like to him that would be a sign of weakness hes rejected all offers of dialogue of communication he says hes the legitimate president and that what theyre doing is against the constitution so against that but weve seen in recent days opposition figures trying to reach out to top people in the regime apart from the president im standing here in front of the k. G. B. Building in the middle of so they can reach out to Security Services try to convince them not to use force against protesters trying to get them to engage in some kind of dialogue whether or not that will work is still unclear i think the real test of these protests will be if they spread beyond the city in the middle classs to those smaller towns in the factories if we have biggest strikes its a very mixed picture across the country in some regions in the west country the strikes are successful than they are here in minsk but it is a totally open situation that makes this a very difficult situation to predict how its going to end but from people here on the streets and its you really get the sense that they see this as the beginning and not the end theyve lost their fear of coming out in criticism of the regime and open in the open and thats something that weve never seen in belarus as long as ive been reporting here certainly so i think even if these protests would spill out which it doesnt look like they will drawing back that will be very difficult for the regime getting people to go back to the houses to stop gathering to stop calling out regime thats something that doesnt seem like its likely to happen anytime soon to get these new family reporting from nancy. Good to talk to you. Lets get a round of now some other stories making headlines the European Unions chief brags that negotiator Michaud Danny a says it looks unlikely the bloc will reach a deal with britain before the deadline at the end of this year his british counterpart david frost blamed to brussels for the lack of progress saying the e. U. Was making talks unnecessarily difficult. Days after malis president was ousted in a military coup neighboring governments are pressuring coup leaders to return. To power in west african countries fear the political of people could allow islamist extremists to again gain ground in the region. And at least 6 people have died in california in wildfire sparked by lightning tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes in the sense this go bay area Authorities Say dozens of houses have burned to the ground. Saying in the u. S. Joe biden has accepted the democratic partys nomination for the presidency in his speech on the final light of the Democratic National Convention Biden promised leadership that is radically different than that of the republican incumbent donald trump welcome to the 4th night the final night of the virtual Democratic National convention rolled out a show of unity and support for the partys president ial candidates police were former rivals for the nomination is praised joe bidens leadership and compassion. Democrats have build the choice in november as one between bidens empathy and donald trump bullying and chaos at a time of twin health and Economic Crises primary against joe biden this is a life changing. This will determine what america is going to look like for a long long Time Character is on the ballot compassion is on the ballot decency signage democracy theyre all on the ballot. Bidens empathy was underscored by a boy who bonded with the former Vice President on the campaign trail over their struggles with stuttering while he described by a someone who cares biden accepted the nomination vowing to heal a country torn by crises and contempt the current president s call american darkness for much too long too much anger too much fear too Much Division here and now i give you my word if you entrust me with the presidency i will draw on the best of us not the worst ill be an ally of the light not the darkness its time for us for we the people to come together and make no mistake united we can and will overcome this season of darkness in america. Darkness dominated the picture at a rally held by trump hours before bidens speech evoking scenes of recent unrest he had a warning for voters. If you want a vision of your life funded by the presidency think of the smoldering ruins in minneapolis the violent anarky of portland the blood stained sidewalks of chicago and imagine that may have coming to your town and every single town in america youre not going to have law and order. Might encounter that mood with eames of hope and unity in the speech that marked the high point of his half century in politics. He now heads into the general Election Campaign with a clear and steady lead in polls over trump. But after the carefully scripted convention the coming weeks will mark a far less predictable period for joe biden and his democratic party. Lets get some analysis on the story now we have rachel with us shes the editorial director at the German Marshall Fund here in berlin hi rachel we heard joe biden talk about hope and unity what is your take did he live up to expectations he did he met expectations i think most agree he even surpassed expectations now that set the bar relatively motorbike. You know highlighting his age and his slowness in trumps words so biden maybe didnt have to do much to meet those expectations but he did he delivered a speech with energy. Without any gaps without any stumbles it was a strong speech and do we get an idea of what his strategy will be in the coming weeks of taking on president truck. I think we got a very clear idea from the entire convention and then as the capstone in the clip said it its this contrast of empathy compassion and unity setting himself up to be the sort of pairing father who can help america in this time of need in contrast with some of the only things about him so this was a quote you know someone whose do this is and isnt taking responsibility for it so we know a lot of people here in europe are watching whats happening in the u. S. Very closely to see what happens in the election and we know that joe biden as well has this long good Foreign Policy record and he might try to undo some of what president did in office so what would a biden presidency mean for for germany in the transatlantic relationship. I think it would it would be an important difference for the transatlantic relationship and germany joe biden is somebody who is really deeply interested in Foreign Policy he probably most interested in Foreign Policy which is not necessarily a normal president and hes deeply sort of. Traditional in terms of he has a strong belief in americas role in the world and a strong belief and he mentioned this in his speech last night the importance of allies working with allies and having you know america have a productive and cooperative role in the world so i think these must have been you know very welcome words for everyone in germany in europe listening and ok so shoring up relations with allies but he also talked about no longer cozying up to dictators so what other Foreign Policy changes could we possibly see under joe biden. Biden and a couple others mention you know and good for china basically i think we can expect you know different trade last year that will be. Tough on china for example but working with allies and sort of also challenging allies iran i think youre going to see you know a top policy but a return to wanting to work when youre up on iran policy you know a completely different posture towards nato and indeed you know a really clear challenge to to prove he and his election interference and other activities and you know dictators like that can be removed cool for example trump is ventured unclear and he showed it and accuse him of cozying up and this is something where biden drew very clear like its. Will have to leave it there rachel doesnt fine from the German Marshall Fund thank you for sharing your insights with us today thank you. Lets take a look now at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic in beijing authorities have lifted the requirement that people wear masks outdoors the Chinese Capital has gone 13 days without any new cases australias hot spot the state of victoria with its capital melbourne has reported the lowest number of new infections in more than a month the National Government is discussing ways to manage internal borders between states and irelands agriculture minister aquaculture minister has resigned after he attended a large dinner event that might have violated coronavirus regulations his decision sparked public anger a day after nationwide rules were tightened.
