opposition says the vote was a farce and is calling for a new election. i'm sumi so much kind of good to have you with us russian sports authorities have been accused of covering up a doping test results from footballers and russia's world cup squad the revelations come just weeks before the tournament kicks off in russia german investigative reporter hi example to help reveal a state run doping program in russian athletics and he now says some of their footballers may have questions to answer. the russian doping scandal may also extend to the national football team russian officials are suspected of covering up test results making samples disappear which had the potential to implicate footballers some of whom have been selected for the hosts world cup squad german t.v. channel has obtained a list containing player names and code numbers of doping samples the list is based

on information from investigators and intelligence gathered from a twenty fourteen raid on the moscow doping control board in that raid the world anti-doping agency wada seized samples with atypical test results that had not been investigated further by russian authorities samples from players in the current world cup squad were among them what we labeled the disappearing positive methodology. which is the labs mechanism by which they falsely reported their results a r d says water also obtained a separate database with atypical test results from almost one hundred russian footballers this information was also passed on to fee for following a request for comment fee for said investigations are under way and they are hoping to report new developments in the coming weeks. journalist who was that bill to broke that story and many others concerning russian doping joins us in our studio know how you thank you for joining us good to have you have you with us know russia

is again the focus of your investigations how is this going to impact the world cup we don't know yet so it's we would know in a couple of weeks i guess the moment it looks like that if you guys really investigating at least on. outcome of the results of a doctor base which has been given from of was the broadwater last year in two thousand and seventeen sixty three saws and samples from different sports nine talk nine thousand of them have been suspicious and i guess. almost hundreds of them are now under investigation and coming from football so we don't know what would be the outcome what we can say we just talk about presumptive screening which might be doping must not necessarily be doping it can also have other reasons but it needs to be. scrutinized that these to be checked great needs to be scrutinized how solid is this evidence that we could be talking about doping in russia's

national football team what we can say is that in two thousand and fourteen and this is not related to the daughter because i was talking about in two thousand and fourteen after the first revelations in energy german television about state run doping if that takes the world anti-doping agency they made a raid in the most called depth and at that point they seized more than three thousand samples from different sports and among them as i have been samples from football players and we got information from two thousand and fourteen at that point to have been samples from players who are currently in the team roster of the russian team for the world cup for him to get to that means we talk about seven boats which have to reach our i'm clear from two solid fourteen from players who are now in the squad and that is a question and fee for has said said they have. done some testing but we os seven as a question have you done a retest for all forbidden substances for prohibited substance of fall for

prerogative methods and they didn't answer that question last week you mentioned the doping in athletics which there is evidence of a question some people are asking is is it really beneficial for footballers to dope how does that help them ok what do you need in football is power what you can . increase with and a bollix is power. what would you need as endure instance in football you need to compete nation of power and in durance so what does it make sense for insurance e.p.o. for example so as i don't lot of things and if you look at the history of doping related to mr geishas into football you will see that e.p.o. was a subject kind of bollix have been the subject so it makes really sense to dope it says no doubt the level of doping might not be the same as for example in weightlifting on athletics i'm going to say that doping doesn't play any role in football that's nonsense so in durance and stamina things that footballers need surely not just russian footballers or other teams also haven't why we're just focusing then on russia here they're not focusing on russia you have

a state run doping system rather for years we are in very good no twenty us but also. investigators and world anti-doping agency in different international sports federation reckons of subject few of us know working on that issue so as there was there's no doubt that that is really hot suspicion and evidence about russia and doping and stage one doping your computer right when you say that sam must be in as also doping in other countries but if you don't have a proof if you don't have evidence and particularly not on state run doping in that countries then that makes really a big difference i want to ask you about one of the russian footballers a couple of he was named to the world cup squad despite being investigated for doping he's now been dropped due to injury is that due to your investigation you don't comment on names absolutely not because again. we're talking about. clear heart hince we're talking order strong suspicion you don't talk about crooks because we don't want to talk about proofs you don't reveal any names in that

investigation now you weren't able to get a decent originally to report on the world cup it was feared because that's because of your reporting on doping in russia of the german government stepped in and now it appears that you will be going to russia to report is that correct you know it says that i have a visa no and i never decided to latest h there are different concerns we have to consider and then we will make a decision at a later point as you can imagine some people in russia don't like at all what we have investigated so you have to consider if it's really worse or maybe there's a bigger risk we don't know so we have to discuss it internally and come to and to do a decision investigative journalist with us so here in studio thank you very much for sharing your reporting with us thank you now to some other stories making headlines around the world facebook boss mark zuckerberg has agreed to have his upcoming meeting with the e.u. lawmakers streamed live online. is due to respond to parliament leaders' privacy

concerns and a hearing on tuesday the meeting comes as facebook admitted last month that it had improperly shared the personal data of millions of users the democratic republic of congo is launching an ebola vaccination program today to try to stop a new outbreak of the disease health workers have shipped four thousand doses of the vaccine and more is on its way the first wave of the program will target health professionals treating ebola patients. para why has opened its israeli embassy in jerusalem the second country to do so after the united states paraguayan president this and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu attended the inauguration ceremony the u.s. relocated its embassy to jerusalem a week ago. and the u.s. department of justice will investigate whether the f.b.i. spied on donald trump's two thousand and sixteen election campaign in a tweet to trump said he demands to know whether any such requests for spying on his campaign were made by the obama administration italy is inching closer towards

having a populist government today eleven weeks after elections left the country with a hung parliament the leader of the anti establishment five star party luigi to my oh and i'm a tale salvini of the far right lead party are meeting with the president to put forward their joint candidate for premier sylvia said both leaders have agreed to nominate a third party candidate. and let's bring in ben record he's covering the story for us from there and italy has been politically paralyzed since elections in early march will the country get a new prime minister today. but the italian drama is now reaching its final act tonight the president will meet the do you d. ot couple the populist from the left and the populist from the right and yes there's a good chance that there will be a prime minister but the final approval of it only come tomorrow and tuesday even

president will. assign the new guy to form a government but this government is stable or not we don't know yet it's very likely that the two parties will get into fights about the program because this program comes from from two very extreme poles and it's just. britain together in two weeks' time so it's not really very worked out what they actually will do but the italians like it post says about sixty percent of the italians now back this new government and what about the prime minister band who can we expect this to be. where there are three candidates in the media because the two parties didn't say whom whom they will nominate to the front runner seems to be just that because. law professor

from the university of florence he's leaning two words. that i think populist but the name but only be named tonight in front of the president. and also the minister is not clear it's not clear whether luigi mio and salvini the leader from because the lead the leader from the league of joining the government although it's clear that chink instead of have the ministry for grows and unemployment and this is. something very important for the constituency of the mario he wants to hand out lots of money to the to the people especially in cousin easily all right so could be some lesser known candidates banta name everyone knows a silvio berlusconi could he make another miraculous return to the premiership. at this point no he's put it to sleep debt because he has no

a say in this coalition but technically he could because the court in milan said that his crony is now free again to take up office and that is called the offer to do that actually he asked the president to to assign him to be prime minister but this is very unlikely. if you don't like that it's going to very much to get his band weaker to reporting for us from rome thank you band nicolas maduro has won venezuela's presidential election he beat his nearest rival and we fall colon by a wide margin my little called a victory a triumph over imperialism but the opposition boycotted the poll and said it was not a fair vote the u.s. says it will not recognize the outcome and is considering new sanctions against the socialist government. for nicolas maduro and his supporters a celebration with few surprises. it's a second six year term for the venezuelan president who won over two thirds of the

vote. thank you thank you for overcoming so many aggressions so many laws. thank you for joining me in so many battles and thank you for making me president. but it's a hollow victory the country's electoral sardi's say only forty six percent of voters turned out at the polls. opposition parties say the real figure is closer to thirty percent. the main opposition party boycotted the election claiming it was rigged two popular candidates were barred from running one challenger who ran on little more than a prayer says the vote was marred by irregularities. we don't recognize this electoral process as valid as having taken place.

for us there were no elections no new elections in venezuela need to take place. duras opponents say the empty polling stations were kept open for hours past the prescribed closing time in a desperate bid to draw in voters. voting was very low one it didn't used to be like this. they're hoping more people will eventually come out but the truth is it's been very very weak so all we pull the floor and there were only a few voters that it was not like this in other years when there was a lot of people today i've been walking through town and the voting centers are empty. where no one there haven't been many people because there was a campaign asking people not to vote they told people not to turn night but some people from the other side have voted and we should be stars have gladly come i

don't like what has done i guess but you know. victory has been rejected by several countries including the u.s. which says it may impose new oil sanctions against the struggling state. well venezuela's failing economy has been a big factor driving a frustration among many voters here had one that was not so many one thing's for sure nicolas maduro didn't complain on his stewardship of the economy hyperinflation has crushed the minimum wage in venezuela to less than two dollars per month more than one million people have fled the country in the past two years economic reforms are urgently needed and corruption needs to be stamped out but mature a socialist regime shows no sign that it might be willing to accept responsibility steadman drew and his cronies are looking for scapegoats to position the i.m.f. the us the west in general are to blame not themselves. after nearly twenty years

of socialist rule in venezuela the once prosperous economy is in tatters massive shortages have left huge swathes of the population struggling to survive hyperinflation at close to thirteen thousand percent has destroyed venezuelan savings and left them unable to afford basic goods. power and water have become luxuries for many in the country with the world's largest known oil reserves spiraling poverty hopelessness and anger at nicolas maduro as government have led to a social implosion protests and file and crackdowns have marked his tenure but as my duro tightens the screws on dissent his government has a silver bullet for the moribund economy the cryptocurrency the petro it's meant as a workaround for the lack of foreign currency but critics call it a scam but that petro success would depend on good faith in the government backing it years of mismanagement and corruption have meant very little of that has been

created leading figures wayland's to see little chance of an end to their ordeal. the threat of an imminent trade war between the united states and china is off the table for now in talks over the weekend the two countries agreed not to impose new tire sua they work on refold the main issue under discussion is how to narrow china's three hundred seventy six billion dollar trade surplus with the u.s. representative on both sides say they're discussing china importing more american agricultural products and oil. the world's two biggest economies are back to the negotiating table and they appear willing to keep talking until they find a solution to their trade conflict. you have. the strongest demand from both the chinese side the u.s. side has to stop the trade war and stop imposing more tariffs on each other's products this time both sides pledge to stop the trade war and develop good

relations in trade meant i think this is a major demand from both countries. so it will be. china has already made concessions saying it will significantly increase purchases of u.s. goods and services it's an attempt to address u.s. president donald trump demand to reduce china's three hundred seventy five billion dollar trade surplus no details have been released yes but the countries have agreed not to impose further tariffs on each other while they continue to negotiate a trade deal. speaking in an interview with fox news u.s. treasury secretary steve minutiae had this to say for. the present we have a very good framework agreement that's not just about buying goods it's about structural changes it's about lowering tariffs china has committed to lower tariffs on many things and make structural changes and protect our technology so these are

very important issues for the u.s. economy and now we're going to make sure that this gets implemented. to taunt and months of tension between the two countries which had sent markets into a frenzy but with little concrete information released about the details of the negotiations the stakes remain high. has been greeted with relief in china here's what people in beijing said. we should try to be the first in as many fields as possible so china can account for the u.s. . the e.u. . trade war could harm investors. so there shouldn't be one china and the u.s. should work together from the same foundations that you get to work out but don't do what i think i can buy luxury goods such as cars or watches at lower prices. irish low cost airline ryan them has released its full year results for twenty seven teens spurred by an increase in passengers net profits saud's to one point
