she gave this reaction to the hospitalisation of alexei navalny. well, it was unbelievable because i thought that alexei navalny is so powerful as a political figure that things like that cannot happen within because putin would fear immediate revolution. but it looks like in the light of recent events in belarus, putin has lost any rationale. so, he's decided to poison navalny to intimidate everyone else but also at the same time, this event brought me back to my own past when my ex—husband was poisoned two years ago and i had to find this medical plane to transport him to german clinic. and definitely, it's not a really pleasant memory. well, you seem to be quite sure that this was a poisoning and moscow was involved. why do you think that? because there is no other reason why navalny would fall in coma all of a sudden. he didn't have any pre—existing conditions that could lead to what he's experiencing now, and also it does resemble the poisoning that happened to my ex—husband. the doctors in russia, however, are saying that they haven't f

alexei navalny is being treated in berlin. the white house has been mum on this for some time. >> reporter: that's right. right now finally western powers are united in condemning the likely poisoning of alexei navalny. it took a few more days but the u.s. has now swung behind european allies in expressing its deep concern. secretary of state mike pompeo says there must be now a comprehensive investigation to work out what happened. he says alexei navalny's family, the russian people deserve transparency. and accountability. at the moment none of that looks likely to happen based upon russia's response to the work carried out by german doctors here behind me at the hospital. what they have been determined they say is through repeated test there's evidence that alexei navalny was poisoned by a substance from a group of chemicals that's used in a wide range of product. everything from pesticides to nerve agents, chemical weapons. they haven't identified the specific substance so the kremlin spokesperson said it seems the doctors

they say no poison was found in the body of a critic of putin but alexey navalny's wife says something was found and they want him out. he won't be going anywhere soon. matthew, why won't they let him go? >> reporter: laura, what the doctors in siberia who are treating alexey navalny, russian's most outspoken critic, are saying he's in too unstable a situation to be moved even though there's a medivac plane that's been sent from germany ready to fly him to a clinic in germany where the navalny team say he'll be getting much better treatment than can be provided for him there. the fact that he's not being allowed out of the stage is a direct threat to the health of alexey navalny. within the past few minutes the doctors overseeing his treatment in siberia say they do not believe he's been poisoned. they've carried out several tests on him, they say, and haven't detected any toxin in his body. what they haven't made public is what they believe the cause of his sudden and acute illness was on the aircraft which was forced to make a forced landing in hansk. you can hear the screams he was

oblivious to the political storm around him, alexei navalny, arriving in berlin for treatment. the man who took on vladimir putin is in a coma. he collapsed on thursday during a flight over siberia after drinking what his supporters claim was a poisoned cup of tea. i'm sure that they can treat him and do everything to eliminate maybe this toxic agent from his body, i hope that the germans, with a high level of medicine... we have no such opportunities in russia as german doctors have. mr navalny is one of vladimir putin's fiercest critics, an anti—corruption campaigner with powerful enemies. his supporters claim he was poisoned last year but lived to tell the tale. now they believe the russian authorities have tried to silence him again. that is something the kremlin denies. it was a german ngo which organised mr navalny‘s transfer to berlin, though it is believed western political intervention finally persuaded russia to let him go. he is a healthy, strong man with a good constitution. the night before the attack, whatever you want to call it, he was swimming in a river, a

now, we don't know for definite if alexei navalny was in fact poisoned or not. that's what german doctors here are going to have to try to find out. alexei navalny is russia's highest profile opposition leader and he is a ferocious critic of vladimir putin, who he accuses of corruption. mr navalny‘s supporters say he has been targeted before. last year, he fell ill after an acute allergic reaction. he said he was poisoned. but whatever german doctors here discover, germany's government will be keen to avoid this turning into a diplomatic row between berlin and moscow. damien mcguinness, bbc news, berlin. in the us, california is struggling to contain huge wildfires burning homes and forests. more than 12,000 firefighters have been tackling the blazes that have killed six people so far. the fires were caused by thousands of lightning strikes during a heat wave, with some of the highest ever temperatures recorded. it's been a difficult summer for couples wanting to get married who have had to cancel their wedding plans. it's also hit those who work to make the b

navalny but we have heard from the german government spokesperson. on monday during his press briefing he took questions about alexina valmy saying during that briefing the german government was of the opinion it was likely that he had been poisoned the german government expressed its readiness to provide mr know bony who was the target of a possible poisoning attack with all the nurses there were medical treatment of his family asked for this in our view it was clear that it was necessary to put mr number only under protection during his stay in charité. the suspicion here is that someone poisoned mist in the valley something which we've been fortunately seen in russia's recent history that's why i think the world takes the suspicion very seriously while at the same time mr seibert was saying that the german foreign minister was in kiev he was also asked questions about alexei novelli but said he wouldn't be drawn to speak further on claims he being attacked or being poisoned saying there wasn't enough facts or evidence to back up him saying so ale

this is actually the second time that alexei navalny has been poisoned, he isa alexei navalny has been poisoned, he is a huge thorn in the side of a bad mayor putin, probably the most likely opposition politician to become head of russia in the future if putin is unseated, and so there is both the motive, the means and the methods for this to be a poisoning, so i think that unless it is proven otherwise, this is a poisoning. like i said, until it is proven, we will say we will go with suspected poisoning, butjust remind us what the trigger could have been? why would you want to kill him? putin does not like people to be opposing him politically and so, if you are a member of the popular opposition politician, he was murdered in front of the kremlin, there was another opposition politician who fled to exile and navalny has been injail i believe that in times, he has been poisoned once, they try to blind him, he, at this point in time, probably is the most likely person for the russian to rally around if there were ever a free election in russia. the trigger is the fact that right next d

looking at the ft weekend, alexei navalny clear for a flight to germany but this has not allay the fears of his supporters that he was not poisoned and this was delayed in order to allow evidence to disappear before he was evacuated. tim, what is going on here? i wish i knew. all i'm talking you to you from the city of saulsberry which many of your viewers will know is a place where there was a very sensational poison attacked by the russian authorities and so this is a city which we are very familiar with what russia gets up very familiar with what russia gets up to. i was listening to a former british ambassador talking on the bbc radio 4 earlier today, and he was thinking this was unlikely to be something that the kremlin would orchestrate. because he knows that should this opposition later be poisoned, all of the fingers will be pointing at vladimir putin able to make the economic situation potentially for russia even more dangerous as countries impose sanctions appointed. so putin having been guilty almost certainly for the poison attacks in the past, is going to be blamed for this
