Postal service pledges to deliver ballots on time as the house plans a rare saturday vote to approve emergency funding. Im gonna go just go with the sport Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is released from greek custody but still facing charges following an alleged brawl on the island of. Russian Opposition Leader alexina on a has been transferred to a hospital in berlin to receive emergency treatment for suspected poisoning russian doctors had initially said he was too sick to be moved from a hospital in the siberian city of all misc but they change their position late on friday dominic king has more from berlin. This is where alex in his journey has brought him burlingtons world renowned shani to the hospital and the start of treatment his supporters hope will save the life of one of the most prominent critics of the russian government hed been brought here on board a special flight through the night from siberia after russian doctors finally agreed he was fit to travel. The patients family a fully of didnt have all the darts are about the diagnosis and condition of the patient and theyre ready to take the risk to transfer weve decided that we dont oppose transferring the patients to another clinic but valleys friends and family are asking why it took so long for these doctors to agree with those whod flown from germany to collect. Not on these wife believes the delay was specifically to allow whatever is in his system to degrade and to make identifying it therefore harder she thinks he drank tea that had been poisoned just before he boarded a flight to moscow from tomsk the off thorough teas at the russian hospital where he was treated deny this. 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 blood sugar levels to be specific due to a rapid change of pressure everyone thinks it was during take off staff here have immediate relevant recent experience of treating patients with the sorts of symptoms that alexy now vanny has come here with now they get the chance to find out what exactly is in his system and how they go about removing it but how it got there in the 1st place remains unclear. The mccains joining us now from berlin dominic as you were saying in your package there this is really a delicate balancing act in many ways for the medical staff because on one hand theyre trying to save his life on another hand theyre trying to find out what the poison is and thats going to take time and their own an awful lot of people who are looking for answers to this. Yes an awful lot of people posing an awful lot of questions watson him how to get there and how did they get it out and who did it thats the thing if there was foul play involved in in in rendering mr novelli in this comatose situation who is responsible for it but always questions remain to be answered the one thing we can say is that the group which helped arrange the medivac medical evacuation flight from aunts to here in berlin thats the set of off a Piece Foundation well the spokesperson was speaking to the media a short time ago and was going into some more detail about what they know about mr of arnies condition remember he was puts he was induced into a coma whilst in russia and then transported here in a plane that had been specifically charted with all the medical precautions on board to allow the flight to take place to keep me alive during that situation so the person concerned from sort of off a piece said very clearly that although theyre pleased that hes now landed in berlin is now in the hospital i should be no doubt about the fact that he is in a very serious condition and that it Means Nothing that hes here what matters is what treatment he can get clearly for those who support the tsunami want to see recover if thats possible and that everyone else is looking at this is well and wondering what happened and when we go to find out who was responsible for this as dominick can bring us up to date from berlin down there thanks very much indeed.

A delegation of west African Leaders arriving in mali on saturday in an effort to reverse their coup that ousted its democratically elected leader the former nigerian president goodluck jonathan. The president of the commission of the regional bloc eco was expected to be among the delegation opposition supporters have been holding rallies celebrating the overthrow of president. The military says it plans to appoint a transitional leader but its not given a timeframe for doing so what ahmed ijaz is following developments from in nigeria hes joining us live now did the delegation obviously hoping as we say that this coup can be reversed but it seems as though an awful lot of people on the streets of mali dont agree. Exactly money and i really dont agree to any reversal of what happened early in the week. Basically the Economic Community of West African States is trying to find a way where these can be resolved on me completely. It. May not come back to power the army said it did not execute a call but the elements of a coup were all there for everyone to see the stock against. Are just too high some diplomats are even saying that the possibility of him returning to power base not there what probably maybe the delegation may achieve is to agree quickly with the military rule is on the possible date of return to democracy in money which they would want to see quickly done as soon as possible they also want to see basically the what also want to see that cater and members of his cabinet have been freed from the military detention they are currently in however there are a section of west African Leaders who feel that the events in mali could be repeated in their own country so that the forefront of pushing for the diverse all of the cool in by michael a lot of people have come out on the streets from day one when this coup was executed by the military officers after the yesterday what we saw a mob of crowd and leaders of the military coup mingling with opposition supporters and hundreds of other millions on the streets of the macall celebrating the overthrow if you bribeable can cater either just as you were talking there we were seeing some live pictures from the airport as the. The delegations his me was coming off the plane and were seeing those pictures again one of the key things in all of this of course is that its one thing to depose the president s and its another thing to put the another government in place with a plan and the problems for still remain dont think they do the question is how prepared were these military officers to deal with the problems in money we saw that in 2012 when the a group of military officers went on a mutiny that eventually overthrew the government of Toumani Toure amadou Toumani Toure and held onto power the basic thing they were protesting against was did you tell your ration of security situation in mali they saw rebellion in the north taking over large parts of mali chasing away the military authorities there what happened immediately after we sold the crisis expanding and its been capitalized by then then by al qaida and other groups in the region in north africa who came into mali and made the situation worse eventually when democracy returned. Who were kicked out was voted the french intervened and chased back the al qaida and other elements out of northern mali this situation eventually got worse right now weve seen how these armed groups of expanded not only from mali to work in a fossil which until 3 or 4 years ago has been a very peaceful country that also expanded into a new general public which of course is having to do with its own problem of insurgency in the north on the border with nigeria so the the thing is so complex right now a lot of people arent sure whether or not the new military government there is prepared and have the resources to deal with the multiple ethnic and other violence happening in mali.

A ceasefire is a decision made by the power brokers by the circumstances and it is not necessarily a libyan decision despite the fact that its the d. N. A. And who announced its decision this time to decision is not libya and the decision is uniquely turkish russia with some input from some of the International Powers and as long as it stays that way its unlikely the cease fire will break.
