A plane carrying a leg has just landed in berlin d where the russian opposition figurehead will receive medical treatment hes been in a coma since falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday doctors had previously dangerous conditions too unstable to be safely lifted lets go live to berlin now correspondent situated following this story as we understand. After much wrangling between doctors in the russian city of. Family alexina valley has arrived in berlin for medical treatment he was flown on a medical plane it was paid for by his supporters that was sent over to russia to going collect him hes being transported alongside a team of specialists to deal with coma patients now the doctors in siberia in the city of almost had previously said that they thought Alexei Navalny was too weak to make the journey and werent keen on him doing it however they relented at the request of family. Woodruff and we are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital but considering the requests of his family we will help organize the transportation. Alexei navalny took ill on a flight from siberia to moscow the plane had to make an Emergency Landing in the city of almost when paramedics arrived on the scene there lex in the valley could be heard to be in extreme distress. Immediately there were suggestions and claims that he being poisoned however doctors in almost said that they carried out talks screenings on him and found no signs of poisoning no toxins in his system and they were working on a different diagnosis. And he. For the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered a motorbike disruption with a reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off. Elex in the valley was hospitalized last year at the time his teammate claimed that he had been poisoned later turned out hed suffered from an extreme allergic reaction well that hasnt stopped. Just conspiracy theories and comparisons to other cases abounding. To vonnie is not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin foremost. On his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist glad amir was poisoned twice and survived hooten the torrijos for allegedly using radioactive nerve agents to target Double Agents defectors and others who fall afoul of the kremlin. Claims of poisoning have been dismissed by the kremlin to me at putins press secretary to me to the sport it did me to the press corps saying that they wished missed in the family a speedy recovery and that they helped him all the way with his request familys request to leave the country that any delays it be due to concerns from doctors there is a lot of anticipation though to find out exactly what caused the lexan of ali to fall so seriously ill hoping for answers to those questions that come from his treatment here at the hospital in he landed at china fell the airport just a short while ago wed be expecting him to be here within the hour well be bringing you all the lakes this throughout the day here on r. T. From berlin our correspondent thanks for all of. That we also spoke to political analyst Dmitri Babich about this story he claims the poisoning allegations dont stand up to scrutiny. Course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is a poisoning. I am at a loss who would be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty its a its a cliche for their western media the western news agency is to blame rashi mediately after something happens basically there are many questions unanswered and the western media is not seeking answers to these questions instead is just so much easier to blame russia personally i want to speculate if it could be done by russian government agents without which inseparable with potence approval is just safe to make it was a chance against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see broadly or all of our the exodus both in the story or. In the story or. The russian Opposition Leader. Says that she wont run the game for president the government agrees to a rerun of the disputed election the outcome of which led to 2 weeks of political unrest in the 1st Media Conferences fleeing to lithuania reiterated the dual she was seeking was a fresh vote so called on other countries to respect the sovereignty by the roof and to let its people decide the future of their country the more president lukashenko has revealed that he facilitated. Yeah you would use it was i who transpose of course with when i just dont want to go into details but she was the one who requested to me she was begging to be allowed to go to her children in the she loves them but shes been thrown under the bus i helped her and then Foreign Ministry and Intelligence Services reached out to her and now she started making statements to rallies in support of the president to be held across the country one of the biggest came the city impressed by his hes done a face that. Its really really loud here what its playing behind me right now is the National Anthem of the republic of the us a little bit of context we are right so whats the mood in the country in the city of brest that seem a lot during the time of the 2nd full day as it is known that the great feel sick boy your guess is good as mine here when it comes to scale but i would say this about the stephanie thousands of people maybe close to 10000 basically people who have to look to a number of them and their message is some of them would change some dont want to but none of them want to listen to ukrainians and to be played out in their public also a lot of people are making a huge point about the flag you can see how many better russian flags official by the russian flags are behind and just around me essentially they have been saying that the white red and white flag the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble. Collaborate during the 2nd full day of a huge problem with that because a lot of people here feel history. And Political Movement here yet not so sure that. They take it seriously so even those who may have to deal. With what. Century the black the colors of the. Whats what. I came here because i want to keep belarus the way i dont want to underestimate im the mother i have a small child i want him to grow up you know peaceful and beautiful nobody forced us to come here everyone has their own opinion and we should not prevent each other from expressing our views. For a peaceful but im 60 years old and ive been working as a driver all my adult life and ive traveled to europe have not seen the best the countrys been salary and i was outraged that your position provoked our Security Forces to violence i saw it myself im for peace in our country and we just need to Start Talking to each other i. Think they are. Calling me an exam to. Come here. To the city. Now the sort of. Ground like in the center to speak. In all this was the scene in minsk people gathered alongside a highway carrying the red white flags of the countries opposition the devastation began outside its Attention Center where protesters were held is what people are saying on the streets of the belarusian capital. Not yet but certainly when you see that you are not alone it helps to keep the spirit up and stops you becoming said but to let you speak you still have these 3 crosses we wanted to call volves horror sponsible for the evil and humiliation of the brain over several last days to confess their sins it was the challenge of a great leap because yesterday at the beginning now people are saying that the protests are common down people up the same istic but we have to remember that there is generally a 26 years its impossible to overturn it in 10 days. Political scientists start toward told us how he thinks the shank will seek to end the crisis. In such case its battle to im dissipate future demands of the opposition that dissipate crisis and drive to. Set up some instruments for dialogue maybe like public dialogue roundtable discussion about the future of develop a recent biology cannot development about social and Political Development and somehow to incorporate. Moderate opposition into political process try to maybe not sharing power but drive to allow them to participate in Decision Making at the local level regional level or maybe at the National Level so that they can express the ideas and interests of those who are intending to make sure their present well he doesnt want to maybe to our direct negotiations with the council because they are self appointed people so all the legally they do not represent to represent the population so its not clear who they are representing in this in this. Council but i think that he is a very large container agreed to have dialogue with the labor unions with a local local leaders lexi to me. Local officials. International communities lost the condemned to president of the shank of the holding on to power but despite the pressure hes out of mentees not going anywhere its a situation thats reminded some of another leader the saudis dont have quarter explains. Many are noticing the ways in which the unrest and valorous a similar to the ukraine uprising or political upheavals in other acts soviet states the latest example though is halfway across the world one leading dissident has now citing the venezuelan scenario calling on the west to recognize the Opposition Leader as the legitimate president. Given the good kids the ties to federal state and local Police Departments across the nation i find their newfound distaste for Law Enforcement to be insulting at the. Issue certainly no continue to count on any sizable revenue from the very profitable police and military divisions in the future wards but he was not and there are clearly a few parallels like bella ruths the situation in venezuela started with massive protests following contested elections and a defeated opposition claiming the results were rigged. Western leaders didnt recognize the Election Results in either case and of course they decided to throw their support behind the protests the brutal repression of the venezuelan people must and must soon unique that you do these are dictatorship trying to survive for the coast of unprecedented humanitarian distress of flooring ideological radicalization when the resources of the country remain considerable to those who continue to oppress the good people of venezuela you know this. All options are on the table so what is moral support from foreign powers done for the opposition in both countries well in venezuela they were confident enough to form their own socalled interim government and theres still essentially a system of dual power to parliaments one promo doro the other program things are heading that way and valorous where an Opposition Coordination Council has been formed this is it called the Nation Council believes that the only way to overcome the political crisis is to meet the stark negotiations and work out mechanisms to restore the rule of no and hold new elections its not exactly clear what the function of these institutions are though in venezuela its hard to tell what quite though has even gained from washingtons cheerleading so apart from a little chain rattling and protest organizing what is quite those political maneuvering actually achieved as well people never supported in any numbers whatsoever you had rallies were very few people showed up you could leave the military as well and it was only loyal to Nicolas Maduro and i had no interest in following this guy was a pretender and the whole thing was just of course if you ask the United States to back someone who had no support really to begin with and then to try to palm this off to the rest of the world that he was president have him travel to washington to be said we are going with donald trump and speech he was there in the Public Gallery of the u. S. Capitol i mean it just didnt fly because there was no support for him so as far as belize goes we dont know what the real support is for the opposition because the Election Results were probably tainted on really no i mean how much support he has but we know the guy girl did never got that kind of support because he was in the country and trying to make speeches and have around him and they found. A laughable figure there no doubt some key differences between the 2 countries after all venezuela has been suffering from hyper inflation widespread crime and a tanking economy all intensified by u. S. Sanctions thats not the case in bellerose though lets hope it stays that way. Outside support for the brother so position has come from numerous quarters including from a prominent french intellectual levy is no stranger to backing revolt. The united nations. For me its the war that comes 8 years too late. These are almost all default defense of operations targeted defense for permissions to protect the civilian population at the request of the interim governing council i have the impression france could envisage that and it would have submitted it as part of a political plan that you will discover in the next few days. How can we put right up all for failure to act with regard to syria well by trying to imagine and perhaps to provoke a configuration such as that which is prevailed in libya. Youre not only europeans you are the best of the europeans i. Live down to your holy pryor and then he started to the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations good morning to you weve good morning weve just shown our viewers that you know levy has a track record of supporting revolutions so was it expected then to see him meeting with ticket office. Well i mean. That was like news for for everyone i dont think that a lot of people in belgrade paid much attention to that even though some media did pick up that story but the person is not really well known in bollywood right so we got it and many people they Pay Attention to. What you think the purpose of that meeting would be just a publicity publicity stunt or does it have some kind of political white well difficult to say shes now in lithuania and i guess at least partly the program of watch it does and who should meet its is shaped by some people there at the white whats the intentions and thoughts behind that on the part of those people were its really hard to say. Hes considered as i understand to be a famous french intellectual do his views carry a lot of weight the with the public or within political circles. Well again not not really and by the roots i mean of course hes very well known to those who you know follow his writings and speeches but thats perhaps a few people in on the intellectuals in belgrade so again i dont think that it did attract any attention among the broader public do you think internationally though perhaps the meeting with 2nd also gives a bit more credibility. Well i actually think that you know it it was a definite mistake on the part of the. Team because given that he does have this reputation of someone whos behind things wage trouble even if you can also wants to avoid. The missing the guy and you know given the fact about became known to the media and was bred at least in some media it is sort of counterproductive for the image she she intends to produce and you talked to put about maybe the reputation he has easy someone whos seen as being in line with. A western stance when it comes to interventions abroad. Well again hes perhaps you know when im on the very small circles of intellectuals and lets say professional revolutionaries that someone like that but not him on a broader public and yet i think. It isnt going to make a huge difference to would a majority of the people involved in roads because you know quite honestly most people who are now protesting and resorting to peaceful progress theyre doing that as are they saying horrible pictures of Police Violence and the same on the government side now more and more people are protesting and just because they want to say that we are against any change and you know we want to preserve peace so those people are protests they out of their own concerns an hour out of their own agenda and meeting at this meeting by taken off with the anyone who is known to the more or less a loss of for promoting some revolutionary ideas i dont think that mace makes any any difference to any thanks so much for your time in any problem i guess director of the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations. Thank you ok more news on the way for you ill be back in just a few moments. Seem wrong. To shape our. Outlook. And in detroit because of the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. Spearing Dramatic Development that only. Exists i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit down and talk. Welcome back to sweden the senior surgeon deaths in the 1st half of 2020 governments that suggest 15 percent more people died when compared with the same period in the Previous Year the revelation has reignited criticism of stockholms approach to the pandemic unlike most European Countries sweden didnt go into lockdown the majority of Public Places remained open throughout also there was no official recommendation to wear face masks. It is very dangerous to believe feast masks would change the game when it comes to 19 face masks can be complement to other things when other things are safely in place but to start with having face masks and then think you can crowd your buses or your shopping malls thats definitely a mistake. We talked to human rights experts marcela for other than ali he says economic considerations were behind the government decision. Goal was to keep. The Health Services. At the certain level i mean not fully obeid in order to take care of all of that. But of course they were having. Good units not completely depleted because they were more politically not at the meeting in those Health Care Units on the end to leave that warehouse being. Belief that they had the meat of intensive care and then you could join us then we have lists. Now were doing it so where we are means that we are yeah we are doing better dont attempt it but behind this is you know. Then its big decision again that the senate put on the game it was a. Day makes the economy of the countries will be my c. V. So were going to be in a better position to compete etc but define that the economy of suit in this suffering as much as the economy. On the right amount of countries so were. Not only lives you know sort of economy so totally failure is a complete failure. A gas explosion in an apartment block in the russian city of jaroslava has killed 3 people including a child friday evenings blast cause 3 floors to collapse in just one section of the building it destroyed several homes residents have been evacuated and rescue work has been completed a criminal investigation going north into potential violations of gas safety. U. K. Council leaders are calling on doctors to be more upfront with their patients about obesity they say concerns about offending people will bankrupt the Health Service the local Government Association says that those living with severe obesity cost council funded social care twice as much as a person with a healthy weight theyre also far more likely to require Long Term Care over a 2 year period according to the governments own figures obesity is costing society billions of pounds and your spending on obesity and diabetes is greater than on police the fire service and she dish recombined local Government Association says things need to change unless we tackle the stigma and serious challenge of obesity the costly and debilitating Major Health Conditions it causes could bankrupt Adult Social Care and n. H. S. Services Health Professionals need to start having frank conversations about peoples weight if it could be an underlying cause of their condition and routinely record it individuals need to take responsibility for their own decisions and the government needs to support them to do so. Nearly a quarter of adults in britain are classified as obese with that rate expected to rise to a 3rd by 2024 this is the mid ninetys the number of obese men has increased 7 fold this triple for women we spoke to human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and columnist Andrew Walker about the right approach to this issue. Obesity is a human rights issue because people who are overweight often get dealt with a lot of stigma prejudice and discrimination that cheney will not work we need to have a partnership between Health Authorities and people who wait so together they tackled this problem i dont think that we should be forcing people to do anything thought i do believe that these arguments that we hear all the time which is so People College of thoughts freak out like you know what if you want to lose weight eat less and been more tricks you obvious i can do its biggest gains in overweight people seem to be in economic you deprived areas there are not many you know any fresh fruit and vegetable shops and if there are theyre very expensive so we need a whole whole whole approach to this issue the idea that Fresh Produce is expensive this it sounds so bad you know 82 percent so its these cheap at the back of chips now i walk around university kept assist and every girl i see is because of course you know weve got to change start by saying look im sorry you eat too hot and we need to stop doing it we also have to separate different people that there are some people are overweight because of both and a projectile. That is in their constitution its not that they can help it its not that theyre overeating its that their body metabolism and ended crimes are not working correctly in a normal healthy person so we need to understand that some people genuinely cannot help but be overweight on a serious note space is an incredibly dangerous situation and every time i say pictures of people in the x. X. Its died from codeine see a doctor out of our wrists you know very often its our white people and so i think it creates a real danger and i just think that we should be honest with people it states that a lot you know if you caught a white that is turns out that its a cow the fact.
