they're reducing the size of russia's nato mission from thirty to twenty australia and moldova and belgium have also joined the list of more than twenty five nations expelling russian officials totenberg says nato has measures are the result of a series of russian actions of course what triggered this was the sole sprit attack but it is part of a broader response by nato allies to a path of unacceptable unacceptable and dangerous behavior by russia. we have seen the illegal annexation of crimea we have seen this the position of eastern ukraine we have seen cyber attacks we have seen the hybrid tactics we have seen russia are investing heavily in modern military equipment and their willingness to use military force against neighbors russia has continued to deny strongly any involvement in the source britax foreign minister sergei lavrov promised

a strong response to the mass expulsion of diplomats and criticized both the u.k. and the u.s. . it's a use of the words the wish that we will respond don't doubt italy because nobody wants to tolerate such board behavior and we won't either we know this is the result of colossal pleasure causal blackmail which is now unfortunately the main tool of washington on the international arena. thank. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is to testify before congress over his social network's role in harvesting millions of users data without their knowledge facebook and the data analytics firm cambridge analytical are the center of a rout over the way personal information was used to influence the outcome of the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election zuckerberg had earlier turned down a similar request from british m.p.'s who are investigating fake news but the whistleblower at the heart of the scandal has been giving evidence to british

m.p.'s christopher wiley said data gathered unlawfully was used to manipulate people in the u.k. to vote to leave the european union some are calling for the brics that referendum to be declared null and void largely reports. christopher what his extraordinary relations are now casting a shadow over democratic elections on both sides of the atlantic here he was speaking to a u.k. government committee explaining how he knew that public opinion had been unlawfully manipulated before the referendum which is leading to the u.k. leaving the european union to irrevocably alter the constitutional settlement of this country on fraud is a mutilation of the constitutional settlement of this country and you cannot call yourself a lever you cannot call yourself somebody who believes in british law and and win by breaking british law in order to achieve that. while the central claim is that the campaign group to leave the european union hired an offshoot of cambridge

analytic the data mining company accused of harvesting personal details of millions of people through facebook and manipulating opinions in an attempt to put donald trump in the white house the company he said had subverted elections for its own aims in countries including nigeria and trinidad now it was doing the same in the u.k. the company will send out videos of people being murdered to intimidate voters this is the company that goes out and tries to illicitly acquire you know live internet browsing data of everyone in an entire country so i think a lot of questions should be asked about the role of patriotic here in this election and whether they were indeed actually complying with the law here to answer they said had already been claimed to leave campaign broke u.k. election law by using campaign funds unlawfully allegations the leave camp denies but in an emergency debate in parliament m.p.'s hostile to bricks it's have begun

to demand the referendum results be declared null and void inherently untrustworthy if the allegations are true that a potentially six hundred two. the five thousand pounds was spent illegally in a very focused targeted campaign which by definition would been focused on targeted on a very small number of people then i think it's very hard to predict in the fact that that would have passed the law is the norm and nobody is above at least one prominent m.p. who backs the leave campaign said he agreed with the need for a criminal inquiry so he's ended up in a situation where you get newspaper headlines like this questioning not just the ethical value but the sheer legality of the vote to leave the european union of course supporters of brecht's it would say the entire thing is a made up plot to discredit a democratic decision but in this hall of mirrors it's becoming increasingly

well. at least i'm not aware of any information at present three further questions about whether kim was in beijing with batted away there would be no big announcement here is it possible that you wouldn't know that but in general news here. everything's off the mark for me i. just really think chile through its you know ten thousand years this seems to me you have more information than i think people tell you and in the house as possible wasn't possible it was. i think we think we were there for you know i suggest you go home and have dinner and carry on with your life she said throughout the day other parts of beijing were also no go areas for journalists including the road close to the state guesthouse where the visiting delegation was stuart to be staying if kim jong un really has been in beijing it would mark his first visit outside of north korea since becoming

the country's leader more than six years ago during that time his relations with chinese leaders have gone from good to testy as he defies appeals to hold his missile and nuclear programs but now it's possible the normal service has resumed a north korean and chinese leaders are talking again adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. russia's defense ministry says thirteen thousand fighters and their families have left syria's eastern ghouta over the past three days heading to the only other remaining rebel held area evacuations a part of a deal struck between rebels and the syrian government ally russia then honda has more from beirut. ahmed says he never carried arms against the syrian government but some of his family members belong to the five man rebel faction that's one of the reasons why he left his home in eastern as part of the surrender deal reached with the pro-government alliance the other reason is his opposition to reconciling

the hospitals were out of service anyone injured would die slowly. camps are being set up for syria's newly displaced the refugee camps are overstretched this is a province with a population of one million displaced people and local communities are struggling to cope. when rebels are defeated they go to adlib those who don't want to live under the rule of president bashar assad also move to live but there is nowhere safe in that province airstrikes continue to hit nonmilitary targets such as schools and health facilities the rebels arrived with their light weapons it's not clear if they will join the ranks of the armed factions an adlib where there has been rebel fighting. before the acid regime for seven years but no food no water no medicine until the regime of the russians launched a barbaric campaign we promised the opposite regime that we will return we will liberate the area there are those who refused to admit defeat but the loss of east

treatment this child was pretty much catatonic had not gotten out of bed in a month and was basically not leaving her room this is just symptomatic of some of the dire conditions that children face in terms of the long term of stay there forty children have basically being born there have never seen anything outside this place and fifty children have actually spent most of the time there so i must say the situation there particularly for children was extremely dire we encourage that the australian government and the u.s. government has come to. an agreement by which refugees are being resettled in the united states but still over a thousand people with a need solutions and pending an outcome can is put you more lawyer says he's promising to continue to fight for the rights of the catalan people the former catalan president legal team met him on tuesday in the german prison where he's currently being held general thought to say it could take several days to decide

. build a board meeting today and i want to assure people that the chairman and other directors of cricket australia sheer sentiments. so on behalf of cricket astride it all i want to apologize to all the stridency that these events have taken place. and particularly to all the kids who love cricket and laws suppliers. i want to also apologize to cricket south africa and south african fans that this issue has. what other was should have been i want to full series. as the chairman has said in his statement earlier to not we recognise that this issue goes beyond the technical nature. of offenses and various codes of conduct. it's about the integrity and reputation

of a strike in cricket and destroyed in sport ultimately it's about whether a strike ins can feel proud of the national sporting terms. that depends as much on the white players conduct themselves. as it does a bit winning or losing. it's all bad how we play the guy. earlier today i received an update from. the investigation being conducted boy head of integrity in roy and in conducting he did use ian was also accompanied by to see integrity offices. what's that investigation is not yet fully complete preliminary findings have been considered and discussed by the cricket australia board earlier today the key finding is that

prior knowledge of the ball tampering incident was limited to three players captain steve smith vice captain david warner and cameron bancroft no other plyers or support staff had prior knowledge and this includes darren lehmann who despite inaccurate media reports has not resigned from his position he will continue to coach the astroid in men's team and rees current contract. the players involved head of officially been reported for breaching cricket astrologers code of conduct and article two point three point five the substance of the offense can be covered boys. terms and paraphrase somewhat from the article conducted any time that is contrary to the

spirit of the guy i'm unbecoming of a representative harmful to the interests of the guy or brings the guy i'm into disrepute once the investigation has concluded in the next twenty four hours sanctions will be announced and we'll go through the cricket australia card of conduct process and i'll come back to that in mind that all three players who have been reported will leave south africa tomorrow their replacements in the australian squad for the fourth test here in johannesburg will be matthew renshaw glen max will and joe burns replacement players will arrive in south africa over the next twenty four. team pine has been officially appointed captain of the stride in men's test.

back to the reporting in regard to the three players on report. i want to stress that we are contemplating significant sanctions in h.k.s. these sanctions will reflect the gravity with which we view what has occurred and the damage it has done to the standing of australian cricket i fully understand the appetite for urgency for more detail however there are huge and see must be balanced with g process given the serious implications for all involved. in addition to sanctions for individuals cricket australia will take the opportunity to review the conduct and culture of after official tames and naturally this will involve consultation with relevant experts will have more to say about how this will proceed in the coming weeks a clear focus will be on rain gauging with the strain in cricket fans and the

australian public to rebuild respect and pride also want to place on record my strong support for the sentiments that. david richardson has expressed about the need to rise standards generally or great a great completely of the r.c.c. and member countries member boards including create a straw you need to define more clearly what is expected of pliers and then enforce the standards in a consistent fashion and i agree that all member countries including cricket australia need to show more accountability for their teams conduct winning is important but not at the expense of the laws or the spirit of the game in conclusion i understand and share the anger and the disappointment of the australian cricket family tibet these events this is a serious issue and it needs to be dealt with properly and with do you deal engines

but now as a matter of urgency will complete the process but tomorrow morning and in the next twenty four hours will be in a position to announce sanctions and they're happy to take questions. he's been. well i want to go into the specifics of sanctions an issue is covered not it's not appropriate. the big picture is the oil is very close have been reported and we'll deal with forcing the report and sanctions lighter. again or there are issues that i can't go into because we're in the midst of a process a suspect some of that will come out in due in due course but it's not appropriate because of the technical nature of things the process that we're working through

for me to divulge details of the investigation. i think i think this this is a reminder to us of the importance of. cricket fans want. their players to behave they want them to be what they want to be proud of their clothes and clearly a situation like this is. is extraordinarily bad. for a stroll in cricket and. as i said earlier on the anger and disappointment of australian cricket and in regard to this by. the chief executive there of cricket australia james sutherland apologizing to all australians about what have taken place particularly the children involved in the cricket family let's bring in our sports correspondent me welling's he joins ministers so at the moment he said he has no outline the sanctions but he has identified the three players who had

prior knowledge of this ball tampering there's nothing we can expect significant sanctions to come from what he was saying that the sanctions not quite through yet but steve smith the captain david one of the vice captain who a lot of the blame is being put on he's certainly being cast as the villain of the piece the main villain the younger player coming bancroft who actually saw with the sticky type and actually working on the. ball it's those three of course immediate questions will be asked really was it really those three only so bowlers in that test match were coming up with a ball that have been worked on by you nothing about it of course everyone would like that so believe that's the case because then they can get on with their careers more easily and it's the way he said it their name in the head coach has not resigned contracted to media reports one senses a second one things that's so interesting about that is if you look what the prime minister of australia malcolm turnbull he called this a shocking affront to australia so it's true we waking up wanting needing heads to roll darren lehmann keeps the coach for cricket say not cricket same goes out and does something same as the darkest acting sport in australia's history you keep

your job and also there is a bigger picture with this australian say they're extremely unpopular because of some of their behavior whether it's sledging whether it's good it's what occasions with players from other teams actually it's not just about the ball tampering that's just the biggest part of it is a bigger picture and darren lehmann has been the coach of the fact he keeps his job i find surprising and i would predict that he won't keep it for much longer actually and he did receive and we recognize the issue went beyond kind of the issue of all about the integrity he said of australian sport not just cricket so how the people who have not been falling into good nitty gritty this how big a deal is this frustrating it's absolutely huge in australia i can't remember a more difficult situation we had one many years ago. and he says decades on he still hasn't been allowed to forget that he's thankful to this because this has surpassed it this is something that is not just the talk of australia it's the talk of sports fans around the globe and i think it's people

looking for a comeuppance for a team that was so unpopular but i don't think there was a wide back for these players it's a craze that they've known before and in terms of that we he was talking about having to do this slowly and kind of have the the due process before we get to the sanctions and how quickly in terms of their reputation do they need to deal with it you think. oh actually dealing with it quickly enough to i think is a good decision to actually ask the prize to leave south africa they want to be part of the decisive fourth test because the series is poised to want to south africa with one supply so they'll be removed that gets them out of the spotlight some cricket can actually take place but he was talking within twenty four hours he was talking about getting it wrapped up then so these sanctions can be passed so everyone knows where they stand with steve smith as australian captain spector band probably of the year david warner has probably the most serious trouble and the reputational damage is of course huge as a come off as a harder one to call in that he's done wrong he might find it really hard to fight his way back in the australian same whether it's playing brilliant cricket or not

and what about you mentioned earlier children watching and actually kind of the damage for that for them how do they come back from this everybody in australia has had an opinion on this and the kind of words that would be used by james sutherland integrity reputation anger the damage that it's caused we've had so many people saying look my child is watching this taking his or her heroes what i meant to think now that this is blatant and is the key word premeditated cheating and i would suspect there were more people involved than just those three and that just cast a shadow over the whole same makes it very difficult to follow them to cheer them on james sutherland wants australia to get back about whether they win or lose play the game properly and it's all a been about if we win great we're fine don't worry about how we play the game and that's been seen to be unacceptable. thank you very much indeed for that update on australia's cricket scandal and you can catch up with all the news and sport that

we're covering by checking out our website address that is our talk. the mind of the top stories here now has era russian president vladimir putin says criminal negligence is to blame for a fire that killed sixty four people in a shopping center has been to a site in the eastern city of camera in siberia where most of the victims were children thousands of people took to the city's main square to confront local officials who were being blamed investigators same urgency exits were blocked and a security guard turned off the public announcement system when he received a call about the blaze. preschool what happening here is not a military action it's not an unexpected release of missing at a mine people and the children came here to get some rest we're talking about demographic decline and losing so many people to what do to criminal negligence due
