A record of Europa League titles. Hello welcome to the news our russian doctors treating one of the kremlins biggest critics of agreed to let him fly to germany for medical treatment but doctors in siberia backed down after initially insisting alexina valmy was too unwell to be moved the Opposition Leader collapsed on a plane on thursday after drinking a cup of tea that his aides believe was laced with poison and vani supporters accuse russian authorities of trying to stop his evacuation or a challenge reports. Whats going on inside this regional russian hospital is only slightly clearer than whats going on inside the body of its most famous patient with a plane waiting in to take it on conscious elects a no need to germany doctors spent most of the day saying he was too sick to move then late on friday a change of position also just to show my. Relatives the wife and the brother of the patient who are fully immersed and have all the doctor about the diagnosis and condition of the patient ready to take the risks weve decided not to oppose transferring the patient to another clinic. Its expected in the valley will be taken to the airport and flown to belin nobody little bit earlier the Opposition Leaders spokeswoman had another great struggle to speak to the german doctors who just been to scene about only to. Look at a moment ago with lisa force you know wasnt allowed to meet with german doctors as you saw they pushed me away just like they pushed her when she is the wife and has a full right to know everything about alexis condition which is the full right to speak to german talk shows you should transport him from this to a normal hospital soon as possible the valleys wife yulia suspects the delay in releasing him is so any poisons in his system would be harder to detect if it does this with this situation is outrageous authorities want to give alexei to us we think its obvious that something is hidden from us but the allegation that never drank poison tea in the cafe at tomsk airport before boarding a flight to moscow is being denied by the omsk hospital medics if you will for. We have come to the conclusion that judging by the fact that there were no poisons found in his blood or other biological materials he has a metabolic disorder lowering of the blood sugar levels to be specific due to a rapid change of pressure everyone thinks it was during takeoff. When he arrived. In germany tests and treatment given to me will confirm whether doctors outside russia share this opinion but in Moscow St Petersburg and other cities supporters of being gathering and getting detained in stop poisoning people says this never alley live says another like the Opposition Leaders closest aides theyre convinced this was an attempt on a nice life and the putin has to play. Down to 0. Bizzle is from the charity organizing alexina valleys flight to berlin and says his safety is the 1st priority. Our mission is a human Cherry Mission im bringing a plane making sure that he can come safely to billin and get his treatment all the speculations about posing a pretty good background is not read our business obviously the sheriff. Is famous for doing a very good job in trying to save such people and obviously also to find out what kind of substances and waltzed so we will see what the charity will actually define and find out personally on my side was very important to have good german medics with us who actually checked if shes able to fly nevertheless that shes unconscious that hes on the until ation and they came to the conclusion a difference of the russian doctors the can fly and we will fly. All dominate kane is in berlin for us and says the hospital the election of on is going to is one of the best equipped to change his condition. When alex in our valley arrives in berlin it is to this hospital the shall 80 hospital in the center of the city that he will be brought to world Renowned Institution of long standing that has relevant direct recent experience of treating patients who present with similar symptoms similar conditions to those we understand mr novelli has been suffering from since his ordeal began on that flight in siberia the point here is that the organization which has sourced his medical evacuation flight is the same organization that sourced a similar flight for another critic of the government of large emir putin in moscow a few years ago that time that person who is an associate of the pussy riot group was brought here by the cinema for Peace Foundation there were one sourcing less than are on these flights as well and they believe that mr van he has been the victim of a poisoning and that goes against what has been said in from the russian doctors perspective but they believe that they will be vindicated and that when the officials in the shite a hospital get to treat mr neavitt they will find what his side of the story believes is the case they say hes been poisoned we wait to see what will happen when mr advani arrives at the hospital. Skye is senior fellow at the Washington Institute for near east policy and joins us now from the u. S. 1st of all what do you make of france and particularly germanys involvement now. Well i think. Look i think there are a lot of Unanswered Questions here this goes to the issue of u. S. U. S. Russian relations and russias relations with the west as well and also about just figuring out the truth this isnt the 1st putin critic who has been poisoned now well theres still a lot of Unanswered Questions but theres a pattern a clear pattern of putin critics being poisoned whenever they present a danger to the kremlin regime and certainly the timing of this incident especially in the context of protests in bella roast is quite significant why. Its very important because prudence fears Popular Uprisings we know that historically he is always afraid of color revels socalled color revolutions he believes there are sponsored by the by the United States he said the same thing about the arab spring and were now seeing unprecedented protests very close to home and belarus so if you know its not all going on isnt it a strange time to have allegedly orchestrated Something Like this. Well look the volley has been has risen as a very strong voice and for you know you know for a leader who is afraid of Popular Uprising his word could potentially spark another uprising and thats something that worries putin but it is. If people perceive that hes been deliberately poisoned and should his condition get worse or should he even die from this that could cause even more problems for the kremlin it could sure sure could and again this is you know this is a pattern that keeps repeating but i think it highlights how how sort of where the kremlins priorities lie in that is in silencing opposition voices is it plausible that an Opposition Leader who is as outspoken and well known as alexina valley might have enemies outside of the kremlin. Its possible and again theres a lot we dont know but theres a pattern of behavior you know everything about this incident just looks very suspicious in the fact that. Doctors had up until most recently resisted transferring him to a better hospital theres just a lot of questions to be asked here what do you envisage might happen after he goes to germany hes obviously there for treatment and it depends on how his condition develops and obviously the hope is that he will get better and he will recover from this bot how soon might he return to russia do you think i you know that this i think depends on his to Health Condition and im certainly not a doctor im not in the position to comment on that but theres also the issue of you know certain poisons cant be detected after some amount of time has passed so the delay in allowing him to go to germany has might have something to do with that. How do you think the investigation will play out then do you think that will be possible to establish whether he categorically whether he was poisoned and if so what kind of substance was used. Or again you know we dont really know i think at this stage we have to wait and see what happens once he gets transferred to the german hospital certainly you know this incident brings back memories of poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in in that case he was treated by british doctors and they did establish. A case of poisoning obviously a different case but you know well have to wait and see at this point thank you an abortive skier thank you very much. Were mentioning baton rouge there and the exiled but a russian Opposition Leader has been calling for more mass protests against president Alexander Lukashenko svetlana to kind of skier is leading the call for his resignation i mean demonstrations for 12 Straight Days including some of the biggest antigovernment rallies in the capital minsk since the fall of the soviet union taken off sky fled to the way of safety after the election which she says was rigged against her.

That they have been accepted by men by george of money and and of course they want to use it as a bargaining chip for whatever sanctions that may come their way especially now that the west african power block or the Economic Community of West African States to lob some sanctions on mali that include cutting financial flows imposing london blockade on.

Or nearly 22000000 people tuned in for the final night of the Democratic National convention but the true number could be even higher as the tally doesnt include online view as the main event was joe bidens impassioned speech where he said the u. S. Will overcome a season of darkness off to formally accepting the Democratic Partys nomination in the president ial race al jazeera is alan fisher has more on this now from wilmington in bidens home state of delaware i accept this nomination for president of the United States of america 32 years after the 1st run for President Joe Biden is no the democratic candidate in the last month standing in what was a large field while be a democratic candidate i will be an american president and now he will face donald trump in november a man hes previously described as i have his depth incompetent and racist but a man he criticized without ever using his name in his speech the choice could not be more clear no rhetoric is needed just judge this president on the facts 5000000 americans infected by covert 90 more than 170000 americans have died by far the worst performance of any nation on earth. More than 15000000 people of filed for unemployment this year or the acceptance was moved to a new arena in his home state of delaware it was delivered to an empty room with family watching backstage a nearby stadium was converted into a drive in theater to allow people to watch the speech on the big screen from the socially distance see 50 of their cars and the democratic challenger told the country he noised being the guy who is not donald trump isnt enough to win as president the 1st step i will take were to get control of the virus that has ruined so many lives will we be the generation that finally waves out the stain of racism from our National Character i believe are up to it i believe were ready and he promised a different Foreign Policy in a Biden White House ill be a president will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over. The final speech at a convention is normally marked with huge cheers and traditionally a balloon drop but this was a different ending but what has been a different kind of convention. So joe biden has finally convinced the Democratic Party he should be the president ial candidate normally after the convention the candidate hits the campaign trail crisscrossing the country but because of covert that can happen this time around but still he has 11 weeks to convince the country that what he put on display in his speech his vision his policies even his personality is what America Needs no alan fischer aljazeera wilmington delaware. Now the number of wildfires in california has more than doubled in the past day around 560 blazes are now being fought the state is saying its most fires started by lightning in nearly 2 decades with nearly 12000 strikes adding to the total 6 people have been killed with Dozens Injured and 175000 people forced from their homes by tomorrow maybe no or no more but pretty much im going to lose out. Are really were close. To the birds the next few days. Now greenland lost so much ice last year that could force scientists to rethink their worst Case Scenario for Climate Change a new study says a record shattering 532000000000 tons of ice melted in 2019 thats around 66. 00 tons of ice for each person on earth it amounts to more than 532 trillion liters of water or that greenland could recover some of its ice sheet through fresh snow fall but its already having an effect on our oceans last years melt added one and a half 1000000 meters to global sea levels that doesnt sound like a lot but if it goes on at the same rate 30000000 people could be affected by coastal flooding at the end of this century if the greenland lost all of its ice sea levels will rise by around 6 meters which would redraw the worlds coastlines. Well ingo sans gun is a scientist at the Alfred Wagner institute and he led the analysis on this in this report into the ice loss and joins me live now from bremerhaven germany so really some shocking numbers we were looking at there that you will be very familiar with in this report a record amount of ice lost in 2019 did did scientists predict this could happen. Yeah thank you mary im so we already knew from where they turned also from field expedition so 2900 was a warm summer with a lot of melting greenland under some of the data we analyzed and finally gave proof that 2019 set the new record in terms of mass loss so we were surprised to some extent yes because the previous mass loss record in 2012 that had been considered like. Event of the century repeated just within 7 years. What about that worst Case Scenario about the the entire ice sheet melting is that is that something that could that could happen. It is definitely something that could happen but it may take some 1000000 you know 2 to really disintegrate the ice sheet to a large extent so all our study rather shows that we have a substantial ice loss in greenland a large part of this caused by melting and this is closely connected to temperature so. Every fraction sort of were safe in terms of arctic warming we will get back in terms of less Sea Level Rise and also the risks that are coming with it at tell me more about those risks if this ice and ice loss from greenland continues to accelerate it at the present right. I think based on our study we dont have to revise our projections that are sort of that so that sort of show that green and come could contribute Something Like 10 centimeters by the end of the century so. Obviously a lot of coastlines would be affected and as you pointed out 30000000 people those could be affected directly by the sort of seed of a rise but you should keep in mind its not only green dent which is a sea level country we also have the arctic lei show as we also have an arctic and also the thermal expansion of the ocean that is related to Global Warming also contributes to Sea Level Rise what do you advise governments today. So far on a global scale c o 2 emissions keep increasing so the planet is warming and temperatures in the arctic are rising disproportionately so we see summer temperatures that one and rising one and have times faster than the globe are at or global average so if we continue in the south way we will see Something Like fall centigrade higher temperatures than today in the arctic so yeah so i would advice to limit c o 2 emissions limit the warming which will then keep the arctic lower temperature but you know melting and Sea Level Rise is not necessarily the best indicator for the effectiveness of climate politics so we know the ice sheet even if we stop. Mourning the arctic right now the ice sheet will loose for some time. Thank you very much frank adding some more light on that analysis and that report for us and jason just joining us staff and the elf at Wagner Institute thank you thank you very much mayor. Well now turkey has announced its biggest ever discovery of natural gas present measure type want to saying 320000000000 cubic meters have been found in the black sea and that the areas actual reserves could be even larger comes at a welcome time for turkeys struggling Economy Energy imports cost 41000000000 dollars last year president wants the gas to be extracted and used as soon as 2023 when turkey marks 100 years since becoming a republic and he hopes the to find more reserves actually in his controversial explorations in the mediterranean well muscled out of order weve been making concerted efforts over the past 2 years both exploration this is we doing the same in the middle to amy and see both pieces of gold knowing wells in both the black sea in the mediterranean by the grace of god we found this big discovery and im certain that we will have some of the good news from the mediterranean but there have also been warnings that it could take up to a decade to actually extract the gas the exploration took place in the black sea off the north coast of turkey analysts are saying that the reserves wont necessarily transform techies fortunes but will still provide a boost to the economy this is not the game danger but this could be the beginning of something that we boost and.

Political movement before he was elected people but i think a good 26000. 00 here. Its cause controversy president will run the promise to wipe out corruption just to be clear this video doesnt prove that anything illegal happened but it does raise serious questions for example was this money declared d to mexicos electorate of dorothys and most importantly where did it come from if this was public money from any area of government this is illegal. Silat ima latinos the media outlet that published the videos claims that ive read lay on the man handing over the envelope mentions the government of chapters although that audio is not included the idea is to support thats the goal for the. President Lopez Obrador said he didnt know about the money but that it could have been lots of small donations that lay on had collected though. I can tell you that the people supported me i had a bank account where they deposit money to keep the party going and thats where i got my salary that happened 4 years in the. Context is important here the video has come out just as Lopez Obrador the attorney general is investigating a Corruption Case that could implicate 3 of the president s pretty disservices. Video has been leaks of alleged bribes there too and the president s critics say hes using the case for political gain not just this in turn he claims this new video is there retaliate. In proposing game is this to damage the government it does seem like a war of corruption videos a market for nand this part of a government watchdog says is only going to be one empowers or fortunately the sick change of b. D. S.

Who many mines the damage that that will be done if they were. They would be escalating you know the level protest the minister says that he and others in the government are willing to continue and expand discussions with the protesters but theres a mixed message because more protest leaders are being arrested and its clear that the call by some of the protesters for an overhaul of the monarchy is a no go subject for youth is one of the 1st and largest groups to start protesting that if i.
