Pipeline im going go off in berlin this is the day. Putin understands only 2 things money and gas is all for what i would also consider room for would be to deny from the stocks as soon as march 17 times could have any impact whatsoever on this project and the chancellor shares the remarks made by the foreign minister over the weekend why is germany spending billions and billions of dollars to russia. To get their energy from russia and then were supposed to protect germany from russia would settle a bet. Also coming up if you thought the battle over breakfast was over Boris Johnson may prove you wrong the british Prime Minister threatening to tear up the divorce agreement with the European Union if a tree deal is not reached by next month we must make sure that people understand that at the end of the year whatever happens we all leaving the e. U. Leaving the lead in the transition period leading into mentation to that is that easy. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with 2 very important awakenings today doctors here in berlin said the russian dissident alexina volley after being in a medically induced coma for 2 weeks is now awake again doctors say that hes responses of all he was brought to berlin for treatment last month when he suddenly became ill in siberia tests revealed that he had been poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent no video and act that the german chancellor has called attempted murder of the german chancellor was the 1st political leader to call on russia to investigate and to explain what happened to the ball in the u. K. And the u. S. Have joined her on the russian government. Has denied any involvement and is refusing to investigate and its important to remember that a light scene of all the is the most prominent kremlin critic in russia a political thorn in Vladimir Putin side pressure on russia to explain is not letting up neither is the pressure on german u. S. And german lawmakers are demanding an end to the multibillion euro natural gas project known as the nord stream to pipeline now for years the u. S. Has lobbied berlin to kill the project with no success in fact german chancellor Angela Merkel shes made it part of her russia policy to always separate business from geopolitics and that brings us to todays 2nd awakening a major rethink by uncle americal the poisoning of alexina volley bringing him to germany for treatment all of that has changed the chancellors calculus today for the 1st time medical spokesman confirmed sanctions to punish the kremlin may include killing the no word stream to pipeline. Construction is in the final stages yet the knowledge stream to pipeline might never be completed because of the diplomatic stole my over the poisoning of alexina valmy and his employer via no not all over 100 companies are involved in this project half of them a german backlash against the project would hurt them too from falling hours from now and also what it would be wrong to assume that whats happened not have any consequences to this poor tom critter muska denies the allegations of an avowed nature and does hit back with its own assertions the kremlin says germany has not responded to russian requests for Legal Assistance but in rejects this meanwhile you praying has joined cools for tough sanctions to be imposed on russia. None in the league we have and will react with tough measures that the meat months so that is left in no doubt cunt and psyched and many german politicians agree. Understands only 2 things money and gas stream 2. 00 is crucial to our future relations with russia. The green party believes russian gas is incompatible with clean energy it when government must find ways to access this project all state and cant even f. X. A thing ends up costing money and this time its going cost it all adds up to an uncertain future for a controversial pipeline or todays news from the german chancellor was major but it wasnt a shocker in fact just a few days ago it was predicted by a guest here on the day Benjamin Schmidt is a former European Energy security advisor at the u. S. State department i asked him about the pressure on marigold to change course over russia. Ive seen statements today that including from mr repton as well as from the greens the f. They pay unix security conference chair is singer and others but weve said seen this before after past provocations you know think of you know the invasion of ukraine by russia election interference Cyber Attacks on the buddhist that extradition killing that we saw in berlin last year by russia and already chancellor merkel is appended to separate somehow this issue of the nobody talk poisoning of mr know about me from north into and i think the combination however of sanctions pressure the diplomats should lead a crush on both sides of the atlantic not to mention for many in the german political establishment that were hearing today means a real turning point i really dont think that north through 2 will ultimately be completed under these conditions but then again this saga has gone on since 15 so we will see what kind of conditions would be feasible i mean billions of euros have already gone into nord stream to germany or to shut it down the legal and financial implications here would be immense is the u. S. In a position to all for compensation if germany shuts it down. I dont know about compensation but there certainly are levers that germany itself can pull on this one is the article levon of the 2019 update to the gas directive the use on gas for active germany has to certify whether this project harms the national or Energy Security interests of either itself or other you Member States and it hasnt done so yet it needs to do so and so this is certainly grounds under which you can say no this does harm the National Security interests it does advance the need to corruption i mean we look at mr schroeder imagine if george w. Bush for barack obama were currently working for china to fall away this would be just a Major Political story in washington it be the only one so we really need to think about this and step back and understand what this is all about its not about energy really its about geopolitics and its about National Security of the transatlantic community. That was Bijan Schmidt there former European Energy security advisor with the u. S. State department for analysis of the german chancellors rethink tonight im joined here at the big table by andrew adair andrew is an attorney and a Public Policy advisor specializing in Transatlantic Affairs it is good to see you again were seeing you a lot lately you and i weve spoken before about the bipartisan opposition in washington to the nord stream to pipeline but that opposition has been there since the Obama Administration right i mean its nothing new there merkel did not budge from her russia stance with an opposition how do you explain this rethink that will signal today yeah you know everything has its limits i think brant and youre absolutely right the american position has been pretty much static since 2015 since this project was announced it all comes down to the ukraine incursion in 2014 russia annexed the crimea and sent troops into Eastern Ukraine in this campaign of malign behavior and then 2015 a mere one year later when this project was announced. The u. S. Government said this is a bad idea. You know the germans were sort of in some ways boxed in because they felt like well this is a commercial project and were going to civil look the other way i mean under the merkel has always had the position that you know we can. Fight against russian malign influence against russia mind behavior on one side and then kind of decouple this big commercial project on the other side and i think whats happened is shes rich a breaking point and she cant look the other way anymore and you could say that she has done it longer than any other political leader could have done because shes shes even known as being the the putin whisperer of being able to understand him the way that other western leader can thats definitely been an advantage when you say. Absolutely you know putin has a long history in germany i mean he spent time here in germany as a as a k. G. B. Officer when you know when germany was divided he speaks fluent german and american of course grew up in east germany so there is a if not a kinship sort of some sort of an understanding of one another absolutely at the same time you know im going to merkel i think takes rule very seriously as a. A bull work of democracy and a you know ever fracturing. World order and so we now have a situation where you know putins campaign of blind behavior is ratcheted up more and more you know theres this acid nation or an attempted assassination in the u. K. A couple of years ago with the same nerve agents cripples you know that is fall and his daughter. And now we have something of the same order but this is not just a sort of a spy so to speak this is the at the Opposition Leader so i mean if i could put a somewhat provocative point on this if you know nancy pelosi were poisoned in the United States if you know german corben were poisoned in the United Kingdom so this is something you know it cuts so deep to the heart of what a democratic order is all about you that im going to merkel has to stand up now and there has been not only opposition to sue nord stream because of russia in the u. S. Theres also been push back here in berlin members of the parliament theyve said openly that russias actions on the world stage have made it difficult if not impossible to continue with nord stream soon i mean weve had some politicians say how can we do business with someone who we say openly is a murderer exactly know that thats exactly right and thats i think thats what weve seen with this step by step flatterer putin has. Has. Shown himself to be the bad actor that he actually is and hes become more and more and bold and over the years you know there was this time you know lets go back 10 years 15 years you know the Bush Administration viewed a lot of your part. As a real partner as a possible partner you know under the Obama AdministrationHillary Clinton then the secretary of state in the reset exactly so you know there have been all of these attempts to sort of look the other way and say no this is not the soviet union this is russia this is a new era and what weve now come to the conclusion is that it aint necessarily so and alexina vali his role in this i mean he is the game changer i mean is it because he was brought to germany for medical treatment and im wondering if he had remained in a siberian hospital would you and i be having this conversation right now. Its such an interesting question i mean i guess the answer is is really unknowable but i have to think you know if you if you i mean germany is now the caretaker for the russian Opposition Leader hes sitting in a hospital right here in berlin. You know the german medical scientists are bringing all the best knowledge skills expertise to bear to save his life so when youre there when you are as a government or the caretaker of the Opposition Leader. It has to play a role has to be a thumb on the scale in terms of. Lets call it a catalyst for you know what the American Government will ultimately do here do you see the fact that germany one did native to convene as it did last friday to talk about a response the fact that germany went to nato on this that also made the future for nord stream to just untenable well you know and thats also. Speaks volumes i think its it i think it shows you that you know norge dream is its not a commercial project of course it has a commercial dimension its cost billions of dollars and theres a ton of capital tied up in it but at the geo political implications of north stream too and security implications talk about nato and the multilateral security implications of this project are now have really begun to dwarf the commercial aspect of it and i would expect. The e. U. To get involved as well as nato and i think were going to see a lot of a lot of action in the coming days about 30 seconds left it is an Election Year in the United States if its nord stream 2 issues that will allow President Trump to say this is a Foreign Policy coup for for me yes thats true and you know my personal theory is. Donald trump is well done trumps a pro russian president he wants lattimer putin to come back into the g. 7 he wants to meet with Latimer Putin hes has no in nothing but praise for Vladimir Putin openly admires him so i think that he is against north stream too because he wants to stick it to germany not to stick it to russia ok thats an interesting point and i think well be talking about that again before its too long as well always good to have you here thank you thank you. So the United Kingdom left the European Union on january 31st of this year yes but no no according to the brakes a divorce agreement between the e. U. And the u. K. This year 2020 is a transition year new rules or laws are changing its business as usual while brussels and london wrap up the business of parting ways and that includes that very important tree deal between europe and the u. K. Which still has not been hammered out and if you look at the calendar you know that time is quickly running out now british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has said in october 15th deadline for a trade deal or he says he will pull the u. K. Out of because she ations reports also say his government is preparing legislation that would override parts of the withdrawal deal that was agreed to last year a unilateral decision to change a Bilateral Agreement e. U. Commission president today warned the u. K. To keep its word to honor the withdrawal the agreement that it negotiated tonight in brussels the thinking is as follows if Boris Johnson changes the rules there may be no future trade partnership with europe at all. Its not 12 months since british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson shuts down unlikely deal from the jaws of defeat after a long negotiations with the European Union. I do think that this deal represents a very good deal day for the e. U. And for the u. K. And interviews heat praise on his hard work. What you have is a fantastic deal for all of the u. K. At heart the deal would prevent an internal border in ireland no his government has found fault with the details and is reportedly planning to tear up parts of it a move that could see borders return jeopardizing peace in the region irelands foreign minister said unilaterally reneging on a treaty would be a very unwise way to proceed coming at the start of a crunch week for trade talks the e. U. s chief negotiator told french radio he was concerned because but youre. Right what can i see today i remain worried its not the last round of brakes at negotiations that are starting this week we have other runs in late september and in october i went to london again last week or so these are difficult negotiations because the british want the best of 2 worlds in a way to do more good talking to the u. K. s Health Minister insisted a deal was still achievable. The question is whether we can whether we can land a long. Future trade agreement and im confident that we can. Johnson won reelection last december on a promise that he could build those his way to break. A strategy that proved popular at home but may yet undermine britain standing abroad. Are going to bulldoze through the stuff here tonight here at the big table im joined by u. K. Political analyst john words john its good to see you again it is about what is the u. K. Prime minister you are talking about a real threat here or much ado about nothing for instance and is basically trying to play to a british audience here he wants to play tough he wants to get one over on brussels and thats what weve seen in the last 24 hours has been that kind of toughening up of the rhetoric he wants to go to brussels and come back as a winner why does he need to do this because hes got the conservative party on his back in the u. K. They dream of this independent trading nation and they keep on talking of sovereignty they dont actually realise or accept that the e. U. Is a legitimate actor that has its own needs as its own sovereignty that it also seeks to defend and certainly this is very much all of this communication from johnson this week is all very much for u. K. What in some particularly for its members of parliament in the conservative policy producer was the bank in march 1st johnson had a 26. 00 point lead in the polls that lead has now shrunk to 0 so his conservatives are are nervous is that whats going on here exactly and the difficulty is is that theres no clear plan from Boris Johnson waltz sorts of breaks it would actually really be in the interests of the people voted for him at that election back in december where he did so well because he had an essentially intellect. Coalition among people who will form a labor vote says some people in working cities in the north the still explore things to be European Union i people that want to deal and traditional some traditional conservative areas many of them farmers and Farming Industries in the farming industry would be killed off in britain but britain to crash out of European Union without a deal and then there are those people that are ideologically in the same boat as far as johnson who want very much to basically to show how strong britain still is. Having over all of these decades of course lost its empire so how does he hold these different groups of different interest together and he hasnt got a clear answer to that to that question in the moment and that is what were seeing at the moment hes testing Different Things out what could he get away with in brussels what could he get away with his own policy what could he get away with rich business and thats why its also so noisy and so unclear is it even politically possible for the u. K. To renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement would it negotiate it probably legally is next to impossible to do that because actually there is a procedure involving the European Court of justice which is in the Withdrawal Agreement in the socalled northern r. And protocol which deals with Northern Irelands relations with the European Union they could actually bring the u. K. To court if britain did not respect what he just signed up to so thats the legal sense the political sense is perhaps even more corrosive because basically britains is essentially saying if we go ahead we break say we want trade deals with the United States with australia with canada with new zealand but one country would trade with the u. K. If theyve just broken in agreement theyve only just signed with the nearest neighbor and so this political credibility at stake as well as the legal problem in what hes doing lets talk a little bit about how johnsons threat impacts the border solution between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland which is take a listen to what the Irish Foreign minister said about that. In many ways to see is the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement and in the protocol which is complex. As the test of good faith in these negotiations and if we cant even follow through on the commitments that have already been made i think its going to be very difficult to strike a new agreement on some very delicate areas that require compromise on both sides physics talking about credibility here again is is there worry that we may again be facing this question is there going to be a return to a hard border between Northern Ireland. So this is something that Boris Johnson has already annoyed the Northern Irish essentially so the question was traditionally in breaks it is where do you draw that border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland or huge or its between basically the island of ireland and the rest of the u. K. And thats basically where Boris Johnson chose to draw it although he himself and so i never went to the border in the irish sea thats essentially hes all ready to put it bluntly sold the Northern Irish. And it and he still keeping on maintaining high for the notion it would be a bold but the have to be according to the one person told us im coming you just talked about the have to be export goods being exported from Northern Ireland to the rest of the u. K. So the politicians in Northern Ireland already fear is already from back in november and they still fear essentially because Boris Johnson as i see it has not taken the questions of Northern Ireland peace and security Northern Ireland anything close to seriously enough until now is that what the problem is here is that youve got the leadership in london is somewhat clueless about the border issue in ireland right and also. Boris johnson essentially took a calculation that he did know its me and Northern Ireland in order to be essentially success. Sold out the u. K. General election Northern Ireland is 1000000 people in the rest of the u. K. This more than 60000000 people it didnt actually matter to his Electoral Prospects now if there is a serious economic problem there were still there will be some restarting of the of the troubles then you have a major problem is on his hands signing for leave that hasnt happened yet and we can but hope that continues but Boris Johnson has opened a plate at the seriousness of the Northern Ireland issue for a whole period right since november prior to his election when in december ok so hes done that what about the issue of Scottish Independence what does what does this drama do to them. Scottish independence is growing all the support for it is growing just at the moment and there is an election to the Scottish Parliament scheduled for may of next year and the rhetoric from the Scottish National party pro independents the party of nicholas in is essentially look britain is being the whole of britain is being taken out of the European Union towards either a very hard breaks it or no deal breaks it that the scottish people didnt vote for so that says the only way that scotland can save itself from this is london for ranks it is by becoming independent so that is shaping up to be the big conflict of next year is is where the or if scotland would hold a 2nd referendum on independence now legally speaking they need the ok from london in order to manage to do that its not shaping up to be a massive conflict between london and edinburgh but probably only after Christmas Well theyll be a lot to talk about and will see what happens on like to her 51st will still be talking well still be talking about it john as always its good to talk with you thank you. Well the day is almost done the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter. Me a brick golf t. V.

This is g w news law from berlin tonights no longer in a coma the russian Opposition Leader alexina of all he has regained consciousness and is response if doctors treating the bomb here in berlin say they have taken him out of the induced coma that hes been in since becoming ill more than 2 weeks ago the German Government says in of all he was poisoned with a nerve agent know each other also coming up tonight crackdown in belarus Opposition Leader. Has reportedly been abducted in broad daylight and comes after hundreds of protesters were arrested at the latest rally against president bush. And supporters out in force for the wiki leaks founder Julian Assange has he resumes his battle to avoid extradition from the u. K. To the United States on charges of espionage. Im burnt off its good to have you with us he is awake and he is responses the berlin hospital treating the russian Opposition Leader alexina of all me says that he has been taken out of an induced coma and that his condition is improving the German Government believes the volley was poisoned with the nerve agent novi cho in an attempted assassination and has demanded answers from the kremlin. Things look bad for russian activists alexina valmy over 2 weeks ago after boarding a flight in siberia he started to moan and scream in pain 3 days later he was in a medically induced coma and being flown to berlin to get treatment from burley and doctors. They say its beyond doubt that novelli was poisoned with a highly toxic nerve agent not the chalk but on monday those doctors had some good news hes awake they say hes responding to verbal communication and has been gradually taken off mechanical ventilation doctors stressed its too early to judge if theres been any long term effects from the severe poisoning. As novelli begins his precarious recovery the political fallout from the poisoning has spread to the new completed nord stream 2 pipeline designed to transport russian gas to europe by germany. For good reasons to have the pipeline otherwise this project would not exist. But what i think would be wrong would be to rule out from the beginning. That what is happening right now could have an impact on the project. This sentiment is echoed by chancellor merkel spokesperson. Chancellor agrees its wrong to rule anything out. The kremlin has denied any involvement in the poisoning of no felony and says that the German Government is stalling on providing russian authorities with details about the case. Our. Political correspondent hunts brand. So what is the hospital saying tonight. Theyve been saying that he has been taken out of the coma that was artificially induced in other words they have less of waco often allowed him to wake up that he is responding to order to receiving those as the form is the way that they put it in other words if hes spoken to he is responding we dont know whether he is able to speak yet because he was also being helped with his breathing he had to chew on his throat and that is also slowly being reduced we dont know whether the troops have been complete removed so we dont know whether hes able to speak it and the hospital is also adding that we do not know yet what the long term effects of this poison will be on objects and as only you do we know what is next for novotny as he continues his recovery we dont know how long this recovery will take i imagine it can take weeks if not months there are you can read in some of the literature that after such a poisoning it is possible for the person that has been poisoned is to recover almost completely but it is also possible that this person because it is an attack on. Will lose permanently lose some of the functions of his nerves and i imagine that could affect any part of his body there even reports of some people that have been poisoned who was thinking as slowing down so we dont know if to what extent will recover and we do not know of course what the aspects that regard to security will be possible it is possible that he might be taken to a safe place and even disappear from public view for quite a while this is a story where the medical has quickly become political germany is pressuring moscow to give answers about snowball knees poisoning has there been any progress. Not really theres been a very Bitter Exchange of words between russia and germany in the last couple of weeks not very diplomatic one has to say and at the moment the germans are saying to russia well here is a russian citizen poisoned by a russian. Agent developed in russia in russia on russian soil it is russian responsibility to investigate this use of a nerve agent which is in fact prohibited internationally the dispute has become so acrimonious that there is not talk about severe possibilities of sanctions against russia and in focus there is a project that links russia to join of in north stream Gas Pipelines to the public baltic sea this is almost completed. In recent days and in fact today both the German Foreign minister and the government spokesman said that this project could be threatened lets listen to what they said of both us. But i would also consider role models from for now would be to deny from the stances of Current Events could have any impact once and on this project because the chancellor shares the remarks made by the foreign minister over the weekend. In that we know that there is bipartisan opposition in the United States congress to north stream to its been that way for quite a while good to speak with moscow over the no bawly poisoning could it end up eventually killing this pipeline. Thats certainly within the realm of possibility as we can hear from the statements made by a government spokesman here in germany today germany has been defending this profit and building it having it built for many many years and even today the government spokesman said that it is not really a german project that the investors are from russia from the never done from wall street and from germany in other words and so its an International Project and the gas is being fed into the european gas and it would so its going to be in the end in some sense a european decision a decision that will be taken i imagine on the level of the European Union and thats likely to take weeks rather than days. You bond with the latest tonight here in berlin on thank you. When germany and britain are expressing their concern over the reported adoption of an Opposition Leader in witnesses say Maria Kolesnik over was pushed into a vehicle by men in black clothing and then driven away germanys foreign minister heiko must has demanded clarity over her whereabouts and the release of all Political Prisoners in. This black minibus driving through means is believed to be carrying Maria Kolesnikov a likely against her will and not a witness recounted the sane a driver happened to film it kolesnikov and 2 of her colleagues have disappeared without a trace. This 38 year old who once lived in germany has become a face of the protest movement she was a supporter of president ial candidates with law and 2nd australia too late to stop at the Coordination Council which trying to prepare a peaceful transfer of power now many believe she could have been abducted going up as she needs eyewitnesses say she was taken into this minibus at around 10 oclock we dont know where it went since that moment we have no idea where maria is a what happened to her. Or. What it was not is one of the last Opposition Leaders still free in minsk on sunday he marched alongside kolesnikov many of their colleagues were arrested i have been forced to leave the country in the last few days. And im simply let are you staying in bellers of course of course house and dollars but its unclear whether she is still in the country another leading activist. Also wanted to stay in belarus but shes now in poland on monday she revealed that the belarussian secret service had taken her to the buddha and forced her to leave the country.

New allegations brought by the us new indictment that was settled and smuggled it a few weeks ago.

S. Espionage act those charges stem from his release of 500000 secret military files a decade ago if convicted he could be jailed for life im fighting for his life. He wont survive if he tested thats what i did. The extradition hearings hinge on whether the songes actions are considered journalism do it it is a low public show the public patient is written it leaves them with journalists its the oppression of journalism free to praise it everywhere in the western world of the us will be looking to poke as many holes as they can in the defenses case they will be saying that this is a straightforward case of espionage but in particular the new indictment thats been issued relates to assistance to mr songes alleged to have given to Chelsea Manning in hacking top secret information from u. S. Government computers and they will say this isnt about journalism this isnt about freedom of expression this is about a crime against National Security and that none of the defenses arguments mean that he should be extradited the case is gigia run until early october but a verdict could take months longer.

The vast north rim to project has already cost 8000000000 euros german chancellor Angela Merkel has been a loyal defender of the project even as political ties between moscow and berlin have deteriorated german industry is heavily invested in the project as are other european allies thats what made the government response to a question about the fate of nord stream so remarkable.
