German media are reporting Russian opposition activist, Alexei Navalny, is speaking after falling ill due to suspected poisoning.

Navalny was brought out an induced coma earlier this week by doctors at a Berlin hospital.

German officials, supported by NATO say there is proof beyond doubt that Navalny was attacked with a Novichok nerve agent.

Moscow has denied any wrong doing and claims there is no evidence.
