A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow lets get started with your live news update. Russian opposition figure head on and say im only husband admitted to a berlin hospital for medical treatment he was airlifted earlier on saturday from the siberian city of hes been in a coma since falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday are spread all over has the latest from berlin. Alexina volley arrived here at charlotte say in a Emergency Vehicle a intensive Care Transport vehicle that was flanked by Police Motorcycles as well as other Police Vehicles weve had a statement from the shot its a hospital asking for patients saying that they are going to be carrying out extensive diagnostic tests on him to try and determine what was the cause of the coma that he is being in it comes after a lot of wrangling between russian doctors in the city of almost. Any family he was transported here to germany on a medical plane that was paid for and chartered by his supporters that plane containing. Specialists in dealing with coma patients however doctors in school werent sure that he was in a fit in of state they felt he was too weak in order to make the journey however they eventually relented at the request of the new found a family which 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 alexina valley took ill on a flight from on thursday from siberia to moscow hes been in a coma since then paramedics arriving on the sit when paramedics arrived on the scene of the plane which had to make an Emergency Landing in it was clear that no valley was in some extreme distress. There have been claims that that election of only was poisoned however the doctors who traced him in say they carried out a talk screening and that they that came back negative for any toxins in his system they say that they were treating him based on a different diagnosis the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered a metabolic disrupt. With the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off last year alexina vialli was admitted to hospital from prison his team at the time suggested hed been poisoned however it later turned out hed had an extreme allergic reaction what we have seen though is conspiracy theories and allegations of bound to that end vonnie is not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin former spies on his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist glad amir khan 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 any poisoning it being deny by the kremlin glad to meet putin the russian president s press spokesperson to meet the press corps saying that they wished missed in the valley all the best and a swift recovery saying that any delays in his transport taishan from russia to germany had been due to the concerns from the medical staff in fact the kremlin had rushed through documentation to allow him to make this trip what we are hearing is that the European Union wanting to see a full investigation into what happened so missed in the valley in a case that is becoming increasingly politicized. As peter mentioned in his report medical staff in berlin say they are running extensive task to establish whats wrong with me for last martin summers says its too early to jump to conclusions. Well obviously if its a case of poisoning theres going to be an awful lot of press placing boy western politicians and others but of course its not clear who would have done the poisoning who has access to alexina boundary it will be zoned entourage his own entourage maybe even working with intelligence agencies in the west to create such an incident as were not seeing now that sounds farfetched but it isnt really if you know the history of Nato Special Operations going back many decades that doesnt mean that they did it and it doesnt mean that the russian state did it and its not even clear that this is a poisoning so i would think Everybody Needs to take a deep breath and think very carefully about the damage that can be done while delegations. Opponents of the bill russian leader are keeping up the pressure almost 2 weeks on from the disputed election. Are now being held calling on president alexander look and saying go to quit crowds march 3rd earlier on saturday carrying the red and white flag thats become a symbol of the Antigovernment Movement over past few days they formed a human chain stretching to the outskirts of the capital as you can see many of the activists were carrying flowers and there was no noticeable security presence. Meanwhile those in favor of the president are also making their voices heard a large progovernment rally took place a few hours ago like sankoh was there and gave a speech he told supporters that the ongoing turmoil is being stirred up by the west partys correspondent there for us and even managed to speak to the president. What you see behind me is a few 1000 people who showed up at a progovernment rally and indeed this meeting is very special compared to others that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days not because its exceptionally large because it isnt but because its the 1st one that weve seen Alexander Lukashenko the president of belarus make an appearance and he made a speech for a short period of what do you know these freaks. Over time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of the stage footage time will pass we will come and show you everything i have received information that there are private enterprises all over the country that are pushing people to strike some have become insulting to the point that if an unfortunate policeman arrives 3 pace car we have telephone conversations they say crush the corpse but why why will you do if crime returns to the streets who you call do not attack policeman these are your own people if they made some mistakes forgive them but the postelection period has been quiet rocky for Alexander Lukashenko for instance a couple of times when factory workers boycotted production and he showed up there to try and calm them down he was essentially had killed and stake so they didnt give him any any any any time they didnt really give him any slack if i may say so well here is a different mood here because here people are supporting him so thats what hes thanked them for and essentially his messages be. It doesnt matter whos in power it doesnt matter the only thing. Is that belarus should stay independent that it should let other nations meddle i had a chance to ask him a question it wasnt like it wasnt a Media Briefing or anything but literally caught him as he was leaving the stage yes no i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during that critical period they were preparing for that they were going to wait for i came out so i was afraid that these people would have suffered that is why we took a break look at that there is a sea of people outside i did not expect to see that here on the western border where being are being pressured to attack russia they see as a springboard and we have to wipe it out but what it was really happy to see us journalists from russia as well hes already left but people well the crowds the numbers dwindling the crowd is slowly dissipating as they are leaving but still a few good few 100 people are still behind me theres a concert going on so i dont know think of a celebration this is sort of what the mood like is here like a public celebration with some classic songs and some local local hits so this is whats going on here. The belorussian Opposition Leader. Has said she will not run for president again if the government agrees to a rerun of the election there her 1st Media Conference since playing to lithuania to hold off her only goal now is to secure a new election she called on other countries to respect the sovereignty of bellers and to let its people decide the future of their own country meanwhile president lukashenko has revealed that he helped her leave the country. Yeah you with us it was i who transported her truth when you i just dont want to go into details but she was the one who requested that she was begging to be allowed to go to her children she loves them but shes been thrown under the bus help her and then Foreign Ministry and Intelligence Service has reached out to her and now she started making statements that moscow based political scientists are toward him choke tell us how he thinks look shango will sink to end the crisis in such case its battle to im disappointed future demands of the opposition that dissipate crisis and to try 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 of 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 selfappointed people saw they are legally they do not represent to represent the population so its not clear who they are representing in this and this can include council but i think that he is a very large container agreed to have dialogue with the labor unions with a local or local leaders legacy to me. Local officials. The European Union has refused to recognize the results of the belorussian election and the u. S. Called it not free or fair but despite the western pressure president looks to go as adamant hes not going anywhere its a situation thats reminded tom of a nother leader as artists on the court explains many are noticing the ways in which the unrest and valorous is 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 is now citing the venezuelan scenario calling on the west to recognize the Opposition Leader as the legitimate president. We are trying to convince the Global Community that he can all sky has to be recognized for example in venezuela there are 2 centers of power of course in better use so just know it will be different but it can be done and there are clearly a few parallels like bella reuss 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 it must soon that you do these are dictatorship trying to survive for the coast from precedents in humanitarian distress of warring ideological radicalization when the resources of the country remain considerable to those who continue to approach 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 2 parliaments one promo doro the other program things are heading that way in belarus 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 one count 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 washington steer leading 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 military one as well and it was totally loyal to Nicolas Maduro i have 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 calm this off to the rest of the world that he was president have him travel to washington to be said were going with donald trump in speech he was there in the Public Gallery of the u. S. Capital i mean it didnt just didnt fly because there was no support for him so as far as bill is 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 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 belarus though lets hope it stays that way foreign support for the belarus opposition has come from numerous quarters including from a prominent french intellectual Bernard Henri levy is no stranger to backing a revolt. The United Nations was set up. For me its the war that comes a is too late. Is that they almost all default defense of operations targeted defense for parishioners to protect the civilian population at the request of the interim governing council i have the impression france could have envisaged that and it would have submitted it as part of a political plan the you will discover in the next few days. How can we put rice who failed to act with regard to syria well by trying to imagine and perhaps to provoke a configuration such as that which has prevailed in libya. But not so many europeans you want the best of europeans. Today in vilnius would settle on its economic scale of the face of the blue Russian Revolution and the opposition to the tyrant actual think that you know it was a definite mistake on the part of the. Team because given that it does have this reputation of someone behind sayings way probably even taken also wants to avoid involving the nation the guy. Given the fact that it became known to the media and it was right at least in some media it is sort of counterproductive for the image chichi to produce quite honestly most people who are now protesting had resort. To peaceful progress there do that today seeing horrible pictures of only smiling and the same on the governments side now more and more people are protesting just because they want to say that we are against any change and you know we want to preserve peace so those people are the cast and audio concerns an hour out of their own agenda and meeting at this meeting but you can also go with anyone who is no one to know in the world as you know lots of pro promoting some revolutionary ideas i dont think that may makes any any difference. Still ahead councils in the u. K. Warned that a fear of offending obese people could bankrupt the Country Health service a story and more than a few months.

To do needs not completely depleted because they were were quickly not at the meeting in those Health Care Units on the as a league that were having the disease belief that they had the need over this if care and did you can join us then we have their lists.

You cant Council Leaders are calling on doctors to be more upfront with patients about obesity as they concerns about offending people will bankrupt the Health Service the local Government Association says 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 annual spending on obesity and diabetes is greater than on police the fire service and the judiciary combined 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 since the mid 1990 s.

Obesity is a human rights issue because people are overweight often get dealt with a lot of stigma prejudice and discrimination that cheney will not work we 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 thats a bit 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 even 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 suresh produces expense this it sound so bad you know 82 percent so hes cheap at the back of chips now when 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 much 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 product rule. 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 n. H. S. Its died suppose he died see a doctor out of our wrists you know very often that some white people.
