So im told that inside the meeting everyone was on the same page all allies believe that this was just a horrific attack something that is completely unacceptable by any standards not to mention International Law and while they are not able at this point with no investigation to say exactly whos responsible everyone agrees that those who did this those who can get their hands on this nerve agent and use it to attack private citizens to attack anybody must be brought to justice so thats the main message and im told there was no dissent inside the meeting on that on that line what do you make of what stoltenberg said was it clear enough. Well whats clear enough i mean remember that nato has in the case of the script all poisoning when the u. K. Went so far as to be able to identify 2 russian nationals and nato expelled 7 diplomats that would seem to be a very very strong response and european governments followed that up with expulsion and expulsion of Russian Diplomats punishing moscow
A miracle and schools and universities in india may be shot by thousands of students have no choice but to line up and take competitive entrance exams despite indias enormous coated 1000 case load of vocal and illegal uproar is raging plops it was 5 years ago today that thousands of migrants left budapest in hungary on foot to reach germany d. W. Was there we will ask our head of news about an event that changed the course of european history. Oh. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program nato has called on moscow to cooperate fully in an investigation into the poisoning of russian dissident alexina vali the alliance has just ended a special meeting convened to discuss the case. Dont know vali who is seen here investigating corruption in sir siberia excuse me shortly before he fell ill hes in a coma hes being treated in a hospital in Berlin Germany says that it has evidence that he was poisoned with a nerve agent that dates from the soviet era the nato secretary general yes called the case
Era so its far too early for nato allies or anyone else to firmly point a finger at the kremlin or anywhere else for responsibility what nato and of course the European Union as well are hoping is that by putting pressure very early on the kremlin that it will cooperate that if it was not involved it will want to prove that and so it will participate in an investigation and come clean about what it knows about stocks of nova talk what it may have known about anyone who may have been trying to attack alex in of all me and simply say yeah were all on the same side here in wanting to find out what happened and you have also had the opportunity to ask stoltenberg the 1st press question directly after his statement what did you ask him. Well i took my question from there just dozens and dozens of comments on my twitter feed asking why does nato have anything to say about this it was not on a nato territory it was not a citizen of a nato country and so nato should just stay out of this and i
They started playing and all this was very positive in the end of those days and it just gave me the feeling that these people in spite of all the hardships and the obstacles that they had to overcome were still very optimistic that a better life was ahead of them. Back then there was a lot of criticism of course at the time here in germany of opening the borders in hindsight do you think it was the right decision to really depends who you ask of course from our perspective on the ground back then it seemed the only right decision because of the humanitarian crisis we had there but to be fair afterwards we learned that the communication of the Different Countries was very basic to put it that way and we did think about our own reporting on the ground did we do the right thing were we to one sided but you know you have to remember we were down there and hungary and authorities were definitely playing games. The migrants always distributing leaflets that were exclusively in gary and that
Russia or heart nato isnt saying at this very early stage that russian officials or the russian government is definitely responsible for the poisoning of Alexei Navalny what they are saying is that the soviet and the russian government is responsible for any stocks of nova took the nerve agent used to poison of all me and that therefore it must come clean on where those nerve agents are being stored what you know who might have access to them and that it needs to you know participate in an International Investigation that you know if russia wants to say its not responsible it needs to help find out who is terry you had the opportunity to ask. The 1st question after a statement what did you ask him. Well on my twitter feed errata get a lot of comments about why is nato involved in this at all letting of all he is a russian citizen it took place in russia nato should just stay out of this so i asked secretary general stolzenberg why nato feels that it has anything to say about this case
