In our news wrap Wednesday, Germany says it has confirmed Russian dissident Alexei Navalny was indeed poisoned. He fell into a coma last month in Siberia and is now in a Berlin hospital. German Prime Minister Angela Merkel said he tested positive for Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent. Also, the U.S. has imposed new sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor and a top aide. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
