Putin critic Alexei Navalny taken out of coma after suspected poisoning

Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny has been taken out of a medically induced coma at a German hospital following a suspected poisoning, Reuters reports.

The state of play: Doctors say it is too early to know the long-term impacts of the poisoning. Novichok was found in Navalny's system — the same agent used in the attempted assassination in 2018 of Sergei Skripal, a Russian former double agent.
