By dinner urges americans to unite and return to often so. Im sumi so much going to its good to have you with us german doctors have now been allowed to see the russian opposition politician alexina volley at the hospital in own square he remains in a coma the medics arrived earlier to transfer the volley to germany for treatment but the vollies team said the medics were initially refused access to him his supporters believe he has been poisoned because of his philippa collectivities the russian doctor said earlier they had not found any. Evidence of poisoning in that not only had been diagnosed with a metabolic disease caused by low blood sugar the outspoken kremlin critic was rushed to intensive care in on staff to falling ill on a flight to moscow prompting and merge and c. Landing and lets get a closer look at how the situation unfold. This is the hospital alex scion of ali was taken to with a case of suspected poisoning and this is where he will remain for now. Doctors here say novelli is too sick to be moved by the ambulance that was supposed to take him to germany for treatment. We would have but if youre regarding his transfer i think and this is what the doctors counsel decided that its true early we have to completely stabilize the patient 1st be what you play and. They also say they found no sign that novell knew he was poisoned. With. The story. So far in the research that has been done no poison has been identified. Its a statement likely to infuriate Lebanese Team who believe he was poisoned while drinking tea at an airport cafe. Hes wife is frustrated she hasnt been allowed to visit her husband and says she doesnt trust the medics. We believe that the doctors that deliberately delaying so that the chemical substance in my husband metabolism has time to disappear thats why they wont let him leave the hospital alex says Health Situation is probably very bad so we dont believe the doctors in the hospital and we demand that they hand my husband over you will know we did it. So was he wasnt he poisoned whats known as that the fell suddenly ill on a flight from siberia to moscow to various passengers captured the incidental memorable friends some show we never knew screaming in pain the plane made an Emergency Landing and medics rushed him to the hospital he is now not allowed to leave. Alexina valmy is one of president putin staunchest critics who claimed he has been poisoned before his wife has written to putin asking him to let her husband go. His supporters also believe that the kremlin and the doctors may have made the decision to keep at the hospital. And interviews and we sure when is tracking the latest developments on the story for us in moscow we mentioned the doctors from germany has now been allowed into scene of ali do we know any more. Well we dont know too much more at the moment weve just been hearing reports from people in the team on the ground and also one of his close allies. Who has said that this is a positive development after all his team has said that the doctors have been acting in a in a politically motivated way rather than in a medically motivated way so perhaps we could get a 2nd opinion now with these german doctors we also heard a another statement to the press on the ground from of a. Wife who said that she and the other members of the nonbinding team are not being allowed access to the doctors at the moment and that they are being stopped from speaking to them by russian doctors on the scene and by Security Forces on the scene when the volleys wife does want him to be moved to germany to be able to be treated and shes written a letter as we mentioned to Vladimir Putin is that likely to have any effect well its unclear whether that is likely to have an effect that direct appeal that weve seen of the kremlin today has also made a statement saying that basically this is not the kremlins decision because they arent doctors and that it will be the decision of doctors on the ground if not by me is transferred the doctors have been arguing that it would be dangerous to transfer him that perhaps with changes in pressure on airplanes that could have an effect on the health so well have to wait and see whether we see any movement after these talks that seem to be ongoing with the doctors what about this claim from the on the team from his family that theres a political reason behind not allowing him to leave to go to germany do we know if theres anything to that. Well of course we dont know. These team and we just saw in the report as well his wife have been saying that doctors are purposely stalling so that the poison in these body has time to leave his body by the time he is transferred to europe but of course its worth pointing out that from the kremlins point of view its not really beneficial for the entire International Community and the west to think that one of the kremlins main critics was poisoned on russian soil and also if this is proven to be true that could of course anger many of these supporters he has a big network of supporters across russia and there has been protests that hes successfully called in the past so that wouldnt be in the kremlin interest. Or win in moscow thank you so much the berlin based ngo that is hoping to fly alexina volley to germany has been giving a News Conference here abouts after foreign minister reaffirmed germanys offer to airlift not only to berlin for treatment. At a press conference with his slovakian counterpart the German Foreign minister of germanys office. I can only repeat that we have expressed our willingness to have missed enough on the treated at a clinic in berlin 100. 00. Years. But its very very hard for us to judge whether transport is or isnt possible for medical reasons. This is when of all new would be taken to shari to a hospital in berlin it wouldnt be the 1st time for the doctors to treat a russian kremlin critic who appears to have been poisoned. In september 28th scene pussy riot activist part of a zeal of was treated at the sari tate after showing severe poisoning symptoms he was evacuated through the efforts of the Berlin Charity cinema for peace. Americal spokesman said the German Government was scrutinizing how moscow deals with kremlin critics. Yeah im here. We have at least spoken here not only about mr number only but also about other representatives of the opposition in russia such as Civil Society activists and journalists in the German Government is monitoring the treatment of people like these in russia very closely the actions taken against mr novelli and the ngo he leads are just one example of the very problematic way dissenters are dealt with in the russian federation. And staying in the position for the. Banks to cinema for peace and the doctors in berlin shot a visit off made a full recovery hes hoping the same can soon be said of alexei navalny. And julia so delhi has been following that press conference for us she joins us for more hi julia tell us more about what was said or what was reiterated what right away was the need for a transport to take place to take novell need to berlin. The chief of staff of the head of cinema for peace said it was it looked like an almost impossible operation to organize last night they have to find a plane doctors organize these and be able to fly the plane into russia and it almost miraculously happened and they said a lot of effort was put into it also by the family and they really would like to see the operation come to a good end. Well you mentioned only vocals not only said chief of staff so we have a clip of him speaking lets listen to that. Leightons a night here in europe very early in the morning. In homes. Like some times he was. Like medicine the old whole cover up operation more the fall and the doctors refused to cooperate anymore refused to give any information even to cease wife. It was the doctors who were helping because all the paperwork to make that transportation. Public safe to sarah to possible started to say that no this is not any more transportable hes not any more stable. So julie you know listening to bad are they still optimistic that this transport could take place well they certainly welcome the new developments that came from russia today that is now on these wifes letter to putin they hope that that will stir some action from the russian government and also the possibility for german doctors to have access to me and this gives them hope that the transports will actually soon take place although there is still a lot of work to be done for that to happen and how worried are they about his condition well they certainly do reject the explanation that doctors and russia have give given they say that those are only symptoms what they described there has been no diagnosis and they really would want to go further into finding out what really happened. What they have this experience from the previous case of a russian activist brought here to berlin and they saw that time is of the essence so they really hope that they could be able to bring not only here as soon as possible to try to actually find traces of what they suspect is a poisoning if that happened. Julie suddenly reporting for us thank you. A receipt an opposition politician. Says she will return to our country when it is safe to do so to stay afloat to look away india after rejecting the results of the election earlier this month today she called for more strikes at factories across the country to try to force new president ial elections meanwhile in minsk people gather to support the oppositions newly formed cordon Nation Council after authorities opened a criminal case accusing them of attempting to seize powers. Speaking from vilnius urged her supporters to resist intimidation and to keep fighting i call for all the contras to respect the serenity of our country and to respect the choice of our people and. As for threatens you know i. Dont think i would like to. Discuss this question now i think that every person in our country. Feels fear and its scary now but its our mission to start over all over a few years and move further. Davies Nick Connelly is on the ground in minutes covering the latest on this story for us hi nick we started enough sky speaking earlier urging belarus in people to continue their protests and indeed it seems like theres no sign of them winding down so what comes next in minsk. Will sue me it is true that protest has become the new normal here in mean square over 10 days since that rigged election and people have been coming out every evening into the main square here in minsk normally that lots of more diffuse protests im standing here on independence avenue the main street here means that if you just sit down in a cafe youll see groups of people 10203040 walking up and down with flags with flowers in their hands the white red flag of the protesters so its really a very. Difficult situation to follow i think thats part of the strategy to prevent the government Security Forces from detain people to not have one central protest camp we have seen in recent days though a clamp down on the more organized parts of the opposition so not only those Opposition Leaders whove been called in for interviews by Security Services but also leaders of strike some of the Big Companies here that was a big worry for the government that those companies would go on strike the main focus now will be on sunday last sunday we saw hundreds of thousands of people gather here in minsk for the biggest one of the biggest protests in belarus history now the organize want to bring in even more people from across the country the question will be will the government let these people travel to me will they prevent people getting on buses and trains and cars will be see an even bigger grouping of the position supporters filled the streets syrians. Make up the news of a new sanctions against south africa. I think the sanctions as such not that much of a phillip a boost for the opposition here but a ruse and its present for the past quarter century have been under wave after wave of sanctions most of those of them being withdrawn without looking to doing much in return what was crucial though was the e. U. Says not to recognize this last election that was definitely a morale boost to the people out on the streets here in minsk it was a sign of hope in terms of practical help for them it doesnt do very much but it does show that europe is paying attention and is watching and following their protests with sympathy. Makes me have an idea where this is heading i mean you mentioned that prosecutors are launching a criminal probe against opposition activists it doesnt seem like theres much room for dialogue between the 2 sides. Will definitely Alexander Lukashenko is doing nothing to engage the protesters it seems like to him that would be a sign of weakness hes rejected all offers of dialogue of communication he says hes the legitimate president and that what theyre doing is against the constitution so. That but weve seen in recent days opposition figures trying to reach out to top people in the regime apart from the president im standing here in front of the k. G. B. Building in the middle of it so they can reach out to Security Services try to convince them not to use force against protesters trying to get them to engage in some kind of dialogue whether or not that will work is still unclear i think the real test of these protests will be if they spread beyond the city in the middle classes to those smaller towns in the factories that we have to get strikes its a very mixed picture across the country in some regions in the west the country the strikes are all successful than they are here in minsk but it is a totally open situation that makes this a very difficult situation to predict how its going to end but from people here on the streets and once you really get the sense that they see this as the beginning and not the end theyve lost their fear of coming out and criticism of the regime and open in the open and thats something that weve never seen in as long as ive been reporting here certainly so i think even if these protests words fizzle out which it doesnt look like it with a will drawing back that will be very difficult for the regime getting people to go back to the houses to stop gathering to stop calling out regime thats something that doesnt seem like its likely to happen anytime soon to get his new family reporting from minsk good to talk to you. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world the European Unions chief breaks it negotiator michelle says it looks unlikely the bloc will reach a deal with britain before the deadline at the end of this year his british counterpart david frost blamed brussels for the lack of progress saying the e.
