Ok lets get going russian doctors have now given permission for the comatose opposition figure to be flown to germany. The reversal followed more than 24 hours of wrangling over how the prominent kremlin critic should be treated the 44 year old fell critically ill whilst on a flight on thursday supporters say he was poisoned the police have found traces of an Industrial Chemical on his luggage and his clothing but doctors at the hospital in siberia where hes still in intensive care say theres no sign of any poison and theyve diagnosed a blood sugar problem earlier i spoke to alexandra. Who is a freelance journalist in moscow she said the Medical Transport shouldnt take too long to organize. What are russian doctors saying that it will take a couple of hours to prepare him core of this trip that they still think is a risky trip and that might endanger his health but that they gave finally permission to happen they say they have to prepare the patient then that is still in the coma and he is still cook to a medical ventilator so what they are saying that it will take a couple of hours only to prepare him and then there is a method of course for all sorts of permits and administer daves thing which to day the kremlin promised is not going to be a problem in the case doctors give a green light for his reputation what do we know of this tocsin thats been found we understand on his hair and his hams well it seems to be a chemical which is used in and Industrial Production of plastics to make it like more flexible to make it well basically bent plastic and that what. Police is saying that it might have been from a plastic cap he was drinking tea the morning when he fell ill they found it in his hair they found it on some on the clothes but all doctors are saying there were no traces of that found in his blood or in his urine samples as a matter of fact they to date before they gave the permission completely dismissed or isnt it of any kind as a reason for not buying this condition ok thats the story out of moscow lets get the story as we think it might unfold in berlin dominic cain is germany correspondent dom hi there good evening when he goes into the building behind you don what happens to him. He goes into the building behind me he gets treated by staff who have direct relevant recent experience of treating patients who present with the sorts of symptoms the sorts of condition that we understand. The has been suffering since his ordeal began on board that flight in the course of the last week now the point to be made about that is the experience that those doctors those nurses have relates to somebody else who was perceived to be a critic of the government of president Vladimir Putin the person who was an associate of the pussy riot group who presented the same conditions and was flown out of russia on the same sort of medi vac flight medical evacuation that is to berlin brought to the shah its a hospital behind me of my right shoulder and that was a few years ago that person recovered im speaking about his experience earlier today the interesting thing also is that the organization that flew that patient out of russia is the same organization responsible for sourcing the medivac flights in so far as mr novelli is concerned the cinema for Peace Foundation they give a News Conference earlier today in which they suggested they did not agree that there had been no poisoning of mr vanney they believe there has been and they expect certainly they hope that when mr novelli arrives at the building behind me eventually the doctors there will be able to prove what they believe is the case because they believe hes been poisoned other people that have been treated badly shall we say by russia in the context of being an opposition to the opposition to the kremlin is generally taken them a long time to come back from that sometimes literally bearing the scars on their bodies are they expecting their charity that when mr novelli arrives we think in the next 6 or 7 hours perhaps hell be there for some time. I think the important thing from their perspective is that if and when he does arrive they get full access to him and that they can perform the sorts of procedures that will be necessary to be performed on somebody who is who has gone through the ordeal he has gone through and is still going through as it were thats clearly their priority to stabilize the patient and then to work out whats wrong with him the interesting thing in so far as the political side of this story is concerned is that in the course of the last 2436 hours leaders of several countries have spoken about this certainly angle americal the german chancellor was asked about the case as indeed was the french president Emmanuel Mccann yesterday on thursday when in machall travels to mr mecum president michaels summer retreat they both were asked about the never any case both sent their governments were prepared to host mr nardelli to allow him to be medically evacuated from russia to either of their 2 countries and both of them said that they felt that arts as were necessary they had to ascertain what had happened to mr and what the circumstances were so that means what actually is in his system and how did it get that certainly thats the political side of this and then in so far as as as a say what the authorities in the shower hospital behind me will they just want to see mr so they can start working on him ok don many thanks dominic kane germany correspondent there reporting live for us to berlin well also in berlin dominic was mentioning the charity theyre going to talk now to yucca bizzle hes founder of the cinema for peace thats the charity organizing this flight to germany from moscow to brazil welcome to the news hour here on aljazeera can you give me a sense of what kind of medical equipment you have on board that plane to deal with whatever novelli has. Hello you know you already mentioned 2 years ago when a similar case was it of as you know from pussy riot so basically repeated is procedure getting a medical plane with medical specialists will use to treat people who are in a coma who are. Lost their consciousness ventilation. And it was pretty hard to organise all of this but in obviously we had the obstacle of dismantling the patient was not able to travel we have been told that he will not travel so as you have mentioned it was a huge struggle. And now at the end of today we are a happy it it looks like that we can fly out now the need to build into the sheraton hospital now we have got these reports saying they found deposits of some sort of Industrial Chemical used in the production of plastics and this is not speculation but these are just claims and reports to be completely transparent about that on his hair and his clothing is that concurrent with how you would poison somebody. To fit in many different stories over the last 2 days. I got him last yesterday at noontime went to syria Peter Van Zyl of an idea to con about call me so our mission is a humanitarian mission bringing a plane making sure that he can come safely to bill and get his treatment all the speculations about poisoning a pretty good background is in lots read our business obviously the sheraton as 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 men medics with us who actually checked if shes able to fly nevertheless that shes unconscious that hes on dental ation and they came to the conclusion a difference in russian doctors the can fly and we will fly hes in a coma we understand still in a Perfect World as far as the medics are concerned on board your aircraft should he or will he still be in a coma on the plane and when he goes from the aircraft side presumably on a stretcher into your hospital type building there in berlin. As much as i understand it would keep him in a coma but again im not a doctor. Im just happy that things have been resolved often it looks very tough today youve mentioned before that many people been a lot of speaking of favor of his unitarian mission including medical in my craw and mirai happy that this is happening own we have just to watch out that nothing happens to them of ali and that he will he will. Be saved today in a press conference the doctors told us that if there would have not been. Interruption of his travel off of the flight to moscow he would have died a similar situation like with has lost 2 years ago it would have not found him in time he would have died so lets hope that death is far away and thats why bonnie will recover again based on your experience doing what you do with that charity and having worked with the people from pussy riot so closely in your heart of hearts do you think he was poisoned. Let me put it this way if there is a strong man in his best age who the night before went swimming in a river and is in good spirits the very next day in one minute on the plane he call ups is cries of pain gets unconscious and if the plane would not have an Emergency Landing would die then obviously somethings wrong and this was not just some normal occurrence of like you and me would have by falling sick so obviously desmond soon fall play but who why and were in the woods dimension i cannot tell but again i stepped in to help friends dog and as you would turn mission the political minds and analysis will have to have will have to follow by others especially on bill and.

Libya has been in turmoil for nearly a decade. Nato bank pulsars overthrew its long time leader Moammar Gadhafi in 2011 but the roots of whats often described as this old rich countrys civil war started after the disputed elections in 2014. Disagreement between the then house of representatives and the General National Congress made worse over a socalled roadmap for libyas future. The country split into 2 rival administrations the house of representatives led by the warlord 34 have to move to the eastern city of who broke and what became the un backed government of National Accord led by Prime Minister fayyad as raj remained in the capital tripoli in the west. Thousands of people have been killed and many more forced to flee their homes by 6 and a half years of fighting.

Turkey today announced its biggest natural gas discovery a 320000000000 cubic meter field underneath the black sea the country currently depends on imports for most of its energy needs president 31 says this will change. I really am delighted to bring this good news to you ticky has successfully found the largest gas field in the black sea this is the biggest exploration and the biggest discovery into history so im concerned whos in istanbul she says the government is hoping the find could be a Much Required boost for the economy. The size of the gas reserves found by that by turkey is of course very small compared to energy giant countries like china or United States or russia but will it be a remedy for the ailing turkish economy thats the question and this is what the turkish government is very positive about turkeys and that Energy Importer country for instance in 2900 took imported 45000000000 cubic meters of natural gas and it costs around 15000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars for turkey and it constitutes at least half of turkeys current account deficit so for a country like turkey totally dependent on Foreign Energy supplies even though its a short term gain its of course the size the scale of the. Resource is not enough to be a game changer but its going to provide tricky a lever it in the black sea also a legitimate station of Energy Exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean this is how the government sees and of course this is good news for the ruling party to consolidate its electorate given a fragile economic turbulence turkey is going through ok lets bring in cronus chapala this is a Maritime Security analyst who joins us on scott for oxford in the u. K. Cronus welcome to the news hour is this the game changer that mr seems to believe it is. Well to be honest from a of a scale of their exam and what we are seeing so far the information that were getting this is not a big game danger but this could be the beginning of something that will boost the end of the very well and the very months needed boost to the decks economy so what were seeing because their example could only serve to be for example for 6 years it is not as big but it can be the injection in the economy the flow of cash in the economy that are. Eagerly looking for the last few years could it in theory in the next say 345 years make Turkey Energy independent and if it does does that mean that turkey will be able to start punching above its weight in a way that it hasnt done before well it still has to be fair there are no lies to see the quality of the a finding but from the numbers that we are seeing so far you cannot make any independent energy use and certainly cannot make very key and Energy Exporter i was the desire of you so friends dont currently mr capello to stay with us i just want you to listen please to another sound bite from mr one talking today about exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean area. Well. Weve been making concerted if its over the past 2 years both exploration business will be doing the same in Mediterranean Sea both missiles have drilled 9 wells in both the black sea in the mediterranean and by the grace of god we found this big discovery and im certain that we will have similar good news from the mediterranean. Now broadly speaking groaners thats kind of all focused or centered around the territorial waters around cyprus be it turkey cyprus or greek cyprus but there are also other territorial claims is there a sense in which the black sea discovery is easier for turkey because thats in it on its patch whereas whats going on in
