"러 나발니, 투숙 호텔 객실 물병에 묻은 신경작용제에 중독"<br /><br />It's time now for our Friday edition of Arirang's 'The World Now'. I'm Kim Jae-hee.<br />We begin with developments on Russian President Vladimir Putin's most prominent critic, Alexei Navalny.<br />Aides of Navalny say traces of poison were detected on an empty water bottle in the hotel room he stayed in, before he fell ill on a flight to Moscow last month.<br />The team of the Putin critic had collected his personal items from his previous hotel.<br />They say the items were airlifted to Berlin with Navlany, as he was being transferred to Berlin hospital, and a German lab found traces of Novichok on a bottle.<br />"It's unclear and at this point it's just our guesswork: he was possibly poisoned before the flight, because he had touched the bottle and the poison was either on it or inside it."<br />The opposition leader has been recovering in Berlin since he emerged from a coma last week, and plans to return to Russia.<br />Germany says there's "unequivocal evidence" Navalny was poisoned with the nerve agent, and two other labs in France and Sweden support this claim.<br />The Kremlin denies any involvement.<br />
