Stefan ximenes good evening or good afternoon i should say to you there are several moving parts of this story tonight 2 people were shot dead last night police say theyve now arrested a 17 year old suspect what more do we know. Yeah the 17 year old suspect was arrested in illinois and upon a request by police here in wisconsin that is a intentional 1st degree. Murder or homicide to a charge which is brought against the 17 year old teenager he is sitting now in a juvenile Detention Center in illinois theys extradition request from wisconsin forwarded to illinois and the suspect is expected to see a judge on friday. This suspect was allegedly able to shoot and kill 2 people in the open on the city street despite the presence of police and National Guard troops being discussed. Here i dont know if this is discussed already or right now but it real be discussed so 1st things up but this suspect is 17 years old legally he wasnt allowed to carry a gun here in the open carry state wisconsin because you have to be 18 furthermore in the annoy you have to be 21 year old to have a gun and to get a permission you cant just buy a gun and carry it open like here in wisconsin when youre 18 years old in illinois you have to be 21 years old and you have to get a permission a permit card for that i dont know if he had one i dont think he can have one when hes only 17 so this is a little bit of a legal mumbo jumbo there but it is important however more National Guard stroup so theyre already yesterday were about 250 National Guard troops with police also in the numbers of about 250 Police Officers trying to quell the unrest when i say on rest this was Water Bottles thrown against police and of course now. A lot of hearing through the curfew which was issued for 8 oclock local time here today by the way one hour earlier curfew Just Announced it starts at 7 pm so it is not that those were hand to hand combat between protesters and police that was fairly organized the resistance to leave the place where police say that you need to leave because its a curfew and to Police Action actually have to say i have i have been in you know that in the minneapolis when george floyd was killed by a cop there and when we got actually shot on by the troopers in minneapolis and here we heard the police out of their speakers in their technical vehicles in their Armored Vehicles asking fairly politely protesters please please please dont make our job complicated and then thinking of them if they actually when they actually move so donald trump i send fats in and. More state troopers and more sorry more National Guard to the national god aspect of this the governor agreed i am not sure of this point is if the governor of wisconsin also agreed to mr trump sending in more federal troops yet and we know you have on the president s wrong when he says he was descended more federal agents hes talking about states that are led by democrats with guns and has a democratic governor he says those types of states where you see riots looting and murders happen i mean does to no should does it need reinforcements on the ground tonight. Im not really in my view and that is clearly to some very last to greater degree subjective not necessarily so National Guard troops can only do according to the law the following they can protect properties they can man checkpoints they step leash security perimeters they do not police work they do not arrest they do not. Engage with the protesters in any active way if you will now when it comes to police that is a different scenario the local police here is when National Guard troops more National Guards troops come in more freely and they have more bodies on the ground and to do each of the police work to engage the protestors looters arsonists and whoever looks for trouble and arrest those people so thats a good thing federal troops most of the time as we saw in portland you know knowing seeing the no i. D. s no way to tell where those guys are coming from who those guys are there is where its getting a little bit iffy there is clearly in my opinion and what i see here intel another real big need for extra the Law Enforcement beef up that is i think some political speech donald trump the new sheriff in town demand for law and order it fits very nicely to what is going on the Republican Convention anyway yeah as you say that the convention is going on this week that the timing is interesting here stephens imans on the story corps in wisconsin the night stefan as always thank you. Always concent is an open carry states where civilians can legally carry a weapon in public as long as it is not concealed police into notion of wisconsin they say they were armed militia like people patrolling on tuesday night protecting their property from looters or was there another motive in some u. S. Cities right wing activists openly carrying weapons have been patrolling antiracism demonstrations with the blessing of local Law Enforcement our correspondent all over salad met with members of one militia known as american will. Target training with the Armed Civilian Group Americans will somewhere in the state of washington. This is one of peter de a says favorite rifles the tory is a k 47 or kalashnikov originally made by the soviet army but now a weapon of choice to defend American Values as he says. Pretty good classic so they dont make them like that anymore. D. S. Believes it takes armed men like him and his group to keep america the way it is. They fear freedom is under threat in the wake of the pandemic and countrywide protests but theyre also led by conspiracy theories. Their government is in the midst of a coup. Theres certain members of our government who are actively working to change this government from what its designed to be the land of opportunity theyre trying to turn us into some sort of socialist government a new form of government humanitarianism where the group is on what they call a mission to portland in the past they have acted a self declared peace keepers tonight they want to get firsthand impressions off the Portland Protests that have been going on for more than 80 nights a week for you the refuses to wear face masks protesters attacked them immediately they were Walking Around as a group of people and do a group of people surrounded by a group of people while not wearing face coverings despite that being the law understandably so because they were in the middle of a pandemic i believe like some of it has to do with our president. Let that kind of behavior and that ideology just orange and i think that now they think that they have power. When they were here for black lives matter and theyre all here for White Supremacy so theres a clear. You know theres a clear difference of opinion and their opinion is not welcome here. But d. S. Insists his group does not stand for White Supremacy he wants the police to take tougher action against what he sees as a violent black lives Matter Movement in what is. In my opinion when it gets to this type of. Mob mentality it should be dispersed thats where i stand with it. Police hanging back i understand that theyre worried about the numbers growing but i would handle the situation differently if the manpower and equipment. Critics say on civilian groups like american wolf are inciting violence just by their presence but in the end it was they who had to retreat. In america the political left and the right are drifting ever further apart. Once annoying to russian Opposition Leader alexina vall the remains hospitalized here in berlin in a medically induced coma hughes recovering from what german doctors say was most likely poisoning but the kremlin has rejected this diagnosis saying german doctors were too hasty with their conclusions now this today from a spokesman for him and spokesman we are categorically against someone labeling this Current Situation a poisoning which is something that is not confirmed yet this is a russian citizen who was in a coma and we would like to find out the reason for this coma when russia is under increasing pressure to investigate the vollies illness test it confirmed have all the hallmarks of a nerve agent attack germany is demanding a full and transparent investigation a call thats backed by the European Union the United States and the u. K. And squints at least forced the act would have been the reaction of the German Government is based on the clinical findings of the treating physicians and of course these findings are made without any political influence. Has been given and the German Government expects the russian authorities to provide transparent and speedy clarification and has full confidence in the work of the medical team treating mr novotny at sheva today hospital. For more on this im joined now by andreas nick hes a member of the German Parliaments Foreign Affairs committee hes also a member of german chancellor Angela Merkels conservative c. D. U. Party mr nick is in want to be our in western germany tonight is doing its good to see you again. Germany germany was 1st to call one russia to investigate the European Union the u. S. And the u. K. Are now doing the same thats a lot of pressure in unison is it enough to make the kremlin do something. I think that remains to be seen the jury is out we have been very forthcoming in offering medical treatment to mr love on the 1st of all with. Complete and full recovery and it is mete aversions see a matter of great concern it is not a woman also its. Another one in a serious of dubious killings and as a nation intends all through russian opposition politicians over the last couple of years and i think it is there to send a clear message that being in the opposition politician in russia is a very dangerous road. What leverage does germany have with putins russia at this point today you would sit Russian Diplomats home in protest before but even that seemed symbolic and nothing more do you do you have real leverage. I think may i remind you that the European Court of human rights was surely an interim measure and of last week which was instrumental in getting this live on the out of russia and into the Charity Hospital i think what we can do at the moment is clearly call upon a full and transparent investigation this has to be conducted independent and effective we are clearly looking at that with as as a measure of can see it is as if he is also foreman as you have made clear this will not free remain unanswered and we keep oil options and instruments open as we speak to mr you before the election of on he was medivac out of siberia and brought here to berlin the story was mainly about a german in geo trying to help a russian political dissidents as soon as mr an avanti landed here though that story quickly became political is that what you and your fellow lawmakers in parliament did you want it to be that way. I think our government has taken i think the necessary measures that someone whose families all scheme for medical treatment you know a country in berlin in the shower and he gets access to that and clearly it is over symbolic also symbolic of very practical nature that the personal security of mrs avali in the charity is secured by federal agents. Of the federal police department. I think we have no interest to politicize this in the 1st place i think this is about human rights is about the rule of law i think it would be a mistake if we were giving. Additional. Feeding the action that this is part of a cheap political structure structural already ceos and this is about a very fundamental rule of law issues that russia will so as a member state of the council of europe has to comply with were you surprised mr nick to see how quickly the United States also came on board and demanded that russia investigate. Well i think we have more question marks about at least the role of some representatives of the United States when it comes to specific issues regarding russia i think this mills we know to consider that this is happening now in the run up to the u. S. Election and in the context of the better was protests. We will we will see i think again all of us in can be well advised not to frame this or to support framing this into part of a geopolitical struggle but its a very fundamental issue about the rule of law and fundamental human rights. In the Russian Federation i know i mean i just want to press you on this will we have time germany and the us are united in this case but when it comes to the north stream to pipeline for example youre not the Trump Administration accuses germany of making itself dependent on russia for energy do you sometimes feel mr nick that germany is caught between a a russian rock and an american hard place. I think we dont think that. You do that from sanctions as london threatened by the Us Government increasingly are at all helpful if they are counterproductive. We strongly advise from refraining from this kind of action against. The like germany and respecting the Alexander Lukashenko<\/a> win a 6th term in Office Protesters<\/a> say the result was rigged.

We strongly advise from refraining from this kind of action against. The like germany and respecting the Political Economic<\/a> sovereignty also of a nation i think is one of the core elements of our alliance millis that if we have issues with regard to the Russian Federation<\/a> where i think we are hopefully in broad agreement that that we was. To come back to the peace and security issue or that has been that has been agreed in the cause of paris in 1990 which is in faustus still a key point of reference of living together. And dreams nick member of the German Parliament<\/a> Foreign Affairs<\/a> committee as always mr nic we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you well the cinema for Peace Foundation<\/a> has played a key role in bringing russian opposition activists here to berlin for treatment at the sharks a hospital they did so with a pussy riot activists in 2018 and it met in fact alexina vonnie from siberia to berlin just last weekend now the groups chair yaka bees ill told the w. C. Political editor to kill a company or how the arrangements were made that have been you are the head of cinema for peace but most of all at the moment you have a man who pours out of thing about me to tell me how safe do you feel right now. Well the been a few threats but ive experienced this before so i dont really feel unsafe i think thats what happens when you deal with Opposition Leader<\/a>s from countries which are not a full democracy. Where did you call for us because its not easy to just get a permit to enter of us or just like that where 1st so called charity and procyon open press records to find out if there would be willing to help again like they did 2 years ago and was kind of a bit funny funny because the office said like oh youre calling finally weve been expecting a corelli since this morning since weve seen the news so they thought it could be a similar case possibly how much the system is did you get from that 1st moment from the German Government<\/a>s. Actually we informed them of what things that we were doing but the very 1st moment was not the logistical work obviously we were aware of the fact that im american and my current were giving some statements and theyre offering medical help in their countries so we felt like that should not be any obstacles from that side how has the last week changed your view of the political reality in europe well i mean what we are proud of in the west is that we have socalled western values of democracies and i think after what has been happening with donald trump what is going to happen with corona it felt like that theres an erosion of democratic values. And also if you can unity i think if the west wants to stay the west it needs to take a clear stand for human rights and democracy. And it also needs to prove that in relationship to the rest of the world whats your biggest hope and your biggest concern right now. Where my hope would be that the patient will come back to normal fully i saw last night but chances were if you will again she seemed kind of like. Ok. I have to feeling that one of our name could be doing a little bit better now by now so my hope would be the actual thing will be resolved in the sense that he will be able to do his work again and then maybe the whole case can also remind. Our countries to work on russia to protect its job lists and opposition politicians and not to be a country where people are gonna put Boris Nemtsov<\/a> of on over no money have to fear for their life that had to do thank you very much for talking to us thank you.
