today there are competitions for the men's of five hundred meter speed skating women's ice hockey women's singles and louisiana number of other sports. i spoke earlier with rt correspondent paul scott reporting from sochi pms and some of the highlights from over the weekend. well i think i think the highlight from the russian going to be a lazy eye is quite easy to want to point it came in the thickest eighteen team event where russia secured gold with a with an extremely dominant display. and i was the emergence of a new star was well fifteen year old beauty of it needs done she put into a sitting deep in his performances in the navy shorts and free programs and everyday is the new dawning of russians poles and she was helped along the way fire a lab where legends of figure skating and so can i get to eighty percent to. it was the biggest cheer of the weekend when he took to the icing is a really interesting story. you can eat fish and he was touching done was to whether he was even given my bestie in gangs of a number of injuries has been plagued by back injuries

and the injuries. the isn't actually on the corn surgery on my next than twelve times in recent years the income hockey was fighting fit and he was equally usefulness in his display in the abdomen is free for grabs so between them. our youth and experience fifteen year old union that nice guy becoming one of the youngest ever gold medal win this fight anyone turn and take someone's random pics history combined with the legend of the funds flavor that is yet to eighty percent got up and i was on down to be the highlight of the russian sports bodies of the course of the week and i think it is sunny in the biggest economical southern ends the twenty ml dose to fall out. the tiny surprisingly this to happen over the weekend or even today. the surprise is off at a premium. the moments as i was in some respects is absolutely nothing surprises me when it comes out to the speedskating event with the netherlands the dots are absolutely adore morning to not into events i fall off

they've already had a one two three gold silver and bronze in two events so they are absolutely dome and sven kramer he claimed on the men's five thousand each event in the space taken down in the outdoor arena. down by the coast here in the black sea resort of sochi. as a sudden i was out of silver bronze also went to the netherlands an interesting way to die that continuing the film ends with another one c3 the sun in the five hundred meat is on the big three awful round they were twins to actually secure but also the dutch keeping it in the family there that they'd be out one of the twins won gold in the other one one from sight no surprises i would say dutch dominance by and the speed skating. nano is historically dominated the winter games are on a continuing that trend this year. well no i have won more medals in winter and in the history that any of the country and they took the lead of the course the weekend they were out on top of the medals table in a sweet old right now they are still very much that will then reply was i thinking much of that place of mine just behind of

the netherlands and canada let me tell you one interesting story of norwegian only on the field all in. he won the by affluent and k sprint events are on site today. to make in the joint record holder for the modest amounts of windsor olympic medals bought in history. ironically of all perhaps not so surprisingly alongside another two norwegian club this evening he had the johns in the swell the hoff carry this huge events to not become the single most decorated olympian return again in history but unforced me or he needed was a top three finish in the swell hoff papacy to the conference would of done it for him him to be his thirteenth win certain that metal seven of them on of course don't but he finished fourth he was a pilot light up our one seconds off the pace to prevent him getting the bronze medal and creating history sun or why are there still very much that or thereabouts but some of the building mixed emotions this evening only on appeal in tallinn now how i can hear the grinding music i can see a lot of people

moving around despite the fact that it's actually pretty late there inside she saw the tree has hair like for you as a journalist covering the us. yet what we're actually buy one of the many lying sites in and around the sun to region adopted or ever and so she caught the eye which is a little of my father on the coast which is where the cars to cluster is over though the indoor ice events with that taking place across up in the mountains christ not only on the city's live sites are tilted or brown the region win in the one i am so sick by the ports on the shortcake and you can make it out is just beginning to wrap up out to be honest there has been pretty spectacular tour of the course of the evening was a giant screen when spectators gathered to watch a live sporting events. i'm also the medal ceremony which take place every evening at eight fourteen pm of course as twenty fourteen to represent the eight suspects ages the goblet to get a nod towards mandelson has also a stage which is now close this naivety on its pot which as the various musical acts on throughout the evening as i say this is in the anyone in

the region so the atmosphere is pretty out pretty good pretty special and enron sochi on the region of the monuments on every single evening as well as the site was a fireworks display will fall from here on out no expense is that this respect i cannot know what the thing that has been obviously dominating the headlines recently as the security situation in saatchi so what if the security situation like from your perspective in the olympic village. well the only noise is what came in for the security presence to the reassuring rather than depending on around fourteen thousand population security office to office is to walk in and around the silky region at the moment as a side that organizes mccain that the presence was an intimidating it was a night of the ring and i think it is reassuring everyone knew the pdc oswalt got on about police officers walking around it does. i reassure you that the area is out is pretty secure all. ghost was a lot of talk about the sun cauldron of scale and doubt

about that the unrest of all the rest of the main focus is region is not far from here on the attacks involve the grout between christmas and new year because the shape of security funding in the spotlight i think there was sort of. some are friends in some tension hopped in the build up to getting seventy last week before the games actually stopped it. now the games have begun in the sport is starting to dominate the headlines. i think people in around tara starting to unwind and relax a little bit more artsy as hall's not bringing us the latest from saatchi is the month making use of twenty fourteen thank you so much stay warm. well that leads are also weighing in on the atmosphere and saatchi from hotel rooms to the security situation take a lot. everything and anything is running like a wagon and everything's just a great day well that hasn't been any problems as of today might have had in the that way because that's just happily carried a baby but he did but when you have can lead it needs he said. but this be a

bit half of the cicadas might be a gut sense that in the thought of it being at a really great time the outlook that the state so far. it's well organized and keep the needy friend here. having a good time. critics are still mincing words so i feel like a flame with comments about dangerous competition courses and mass murder of stray dogs aren't a correspondent on some future takes a closer look at the saatchi backlash once the salty at the meeting points in their homes to live on the slope. the mainstream media are looking for more widespread tumble. this is during the opening ceremony something was off the air yet i'm not sticking one of the land that range from minor glitches are more than a regular occurrence in any means but pundits would tear them apart into who hates all playing the winter olympics in sochi russia is even remotely reasonable assessment showing russia and nothing more than a normal light is brought up. we've

been received well. we have a nice hotel our accommodations at best buy that. from what i hear from some of the athletes who are doing some of the training of their quite satisfying. statements like this fall largely on deaf ears among the negative tweets about hotel room conditions going viral for days on end. the fifteen year old girl who blow to the air and landed on site on on a i r i n and i want to care about the outcome in her bed was in the hotel room. recent history has always gets easily forgotten. there was corruption in the winter olympics in the united states several people were trying to dance. romney was brought in to quote to fix it which he did with the millions and millions of dollars from the us government. you basically want no more these days the former presidential candidate is on the news to give his acts were to take along with other notable sporting event. i know it's time to bring the man on this actor and she understood known from the godfather if

you really wanna get in a sporting event in shoes on at this last super bowl big box fitted child ring. something tells me that ranks up a bit words on the scale than the red count of the sheet since the ot with a simplistic that guy approach towards the saatchi games in dc media might as well have expected dancing bears drinking vodka at the opening ceremony the way they're done by a fickle taken out of vodka bottles their way into the grotto didn't show up at any point from rocky. it did it we were all shot taken aback that the bit that the bull crap we've been sold for forty years wasn't that dancing around. instead an opening reflecting buses long history of reverse culture legacy is that if you will be that if it continues to smell it. in the competition park at the very successful olympic games. the ceremony aired in the last ten hours after taking place with edits

me to cut the speech of the head of the ioc and providing little translation context or explanation to the historic episodes presented. anger is even going so far as to suggest that viewers will go at this tremendous ignorance gap year and this is what the media both creates and panthers. as the days go by olympic athletes will show more and more impressive results stealing the show from poisonous media stories while the corporate media outlets continue to play a game of their own turning sports into politics and making use of venomous but with all the dwindling greetings and as more of the tricks are exposed. the median route to becoming just white noise. as they secured an eighteen unit well one of the mainstream media's biggest criticisms and weeks and months leading up to one from my ex husband watched as the so called gay propaganda law and whether homosexual athletes would be in danger if brief and consumption to compete. but as the saying goes when you point a bleeding finger in someone's direction. there are for our plane back at you

the residence of glory were financed with more on that. i knew. missed it live and juliet is rushing to u s as an opportunity to try the thing that russia had the worst anti gay laws on the planet. just after birth in fact according to the washington post the only anti gay language and western line is that the propaganda of homosexual income among minors is punishable by

administrative fine. that's a nice bread and a propaganda became can get. the west however we have a lot more teams have a veto act eight u s state of many cities and county park and had a provision that the matter. or the university wants to call them to paper. no promo provision. he was caught her that the advocate the homosexuality of arizona from canada trail homosexuality at the positive alternatives like that her family in texas actually mandate that the education class that and i think that homosexuality is not a lights out acceptable to the general . in those days also meant the kids be taught that homosexual conduct a criminal offence. even though that would just be flat and unconstitutional. sullivan under that suv articles many a times about how russia is going to twelve eight when

the athletes and trainers in jail for being gay. it's just wrong. when you watch daddy's back and features zinifex weddings ever shot americano product prices and tight game live the crew. when you read a tnt statement that wants to live high off to lgbt individuals and families and society. i was a peacock with the windchill by neil barrett said they opposed russia's anti lgbt lot. i feel about america. when you hear the bride university telling me that the air again russia's loss and support efforts to improve that edt friday. i could go back to school when you hear president obama making the right to support the anti gay stance that that the us did not write discrimination into the meeting. tell him to review his own country's law bottom line and no matter how you feel about the right the notion that last shot at

the worst anti toll on saturday. it's just playing around tonight. talk about that. i really mean to but at the record. rachel reform has dominated national debate for the past year. yet despite the protests in all the promises. little has actually happened in the realm of faerie far turns out that one change was quietly approved by the obama administration recently. the center would ease restrictions for us i am a tourist who might have ties to groups. now the department of homeland security as false the state department last week announcing the changes people who provided a limited military support to groups will no longer be automatically barred from becoming an american citizen this will give people like marquez on sunday a chance to finally get his green card over a decade after she initially submitted for it now as a kenyan the saudi handed out flyers for a second the mujahideen that oppose the government of ayatollah who call up of many

in iran in the early nineteen eighties. the crew was taken up the terror watch list back in two thousand twelve. noah so it was never an active member or contributed to that group. and yes im living in legal limbo in virginia for years as a result of this section of the immigration ma so some lawmakers have become vocal supporters of this change to the lock in a press statement senator patrick leahy the existing interpretation was so broad as to be on workable resulted in deserving refugees and a family is being barred from the united states for actions the silken gentle and humble and no rational person would consider them supporters of activity. it's why it's not everyone agrees that the obama administration's recent know. senator jeff sessions really simple in a statement saying that it is deeply alarming that the obama administration would move unilaterally to relax admissions standards for asylum seekers and potentially numerous other applicants for admission what possible connections to insurgents or terrorists

groups. we need to tighten security standards for asylum not relax them even further so this move and had to learn it more inclusive immigration standards comes after the president recently promised more robust an executive actions during his state of the union dress that happened just last month. law makers of course have been promising immigration reform all this year. with midterm elections right around the corner this recent change in the view from the immigration reform americans actually see corporate some time. while the us is losing its integration standards what the land is tightening its lots voters narrowly passed a referendum over the weekend that would limit the number of foreigners allowed to live and work in switzerland. this is the star ca change from the open door policy that country has promoted in the past along with his european counterparts. owners fear that foreigners are taking their jobs and causing a spike in the cost of housing. i seek respondent was a tough enough without the economic implications of this decision for switzerland

as well as for the european union. switzerland voted to shut the door to european union workers setting up a showdown with brussels as well as a potential exit from the single european market now the so called stop mass immigration initiative was the brainchild of the right wing swiss people's party once the owners of the mourners. this was going to essentially abandoning its green movement of people treated with the eu and supporters that we've talked to say that they're worried immigration and private lands. i didn't know what is meant by the service as of the target of racial slur at local economic growth. it's hard to say that the swiss economy is booming not as high as one labour especially when it comes to poker skills to work in fields like how can i say that if the baby

out for skilled workers. but despite the very real economic concerns this light just three percent. many voters not to use the argument that switzerland simply cannot take it anymore all in order to understand why you really do have to look at numbers about a quarter of the country's eight million residents are swiss there's been a huge uptick in immigration in fact about eighty thousand new immigrants came to switzerland last year alone the bill will likely mean severe repercussions with the brussels after member that switzerland is a member of the eu but it has signed on to a lot of the blocks policies in order to gain access to european markets or switzerland sells more than half of everything to produce as he was five hundred million customers there's a lot of money at stake here nobody is likely to have a significant impact on the swiss economy as muslim relations with the country's european neighbors reporting and burned for our team. lucy capital. the site mounting international criticism against the american drone program. if you're so silly you wes has picked its next target. and this one is an

american citizen the associated press has confirmed with four u s officials that the us is now targeting an unnamed american who is believed to be an al qaeda facilitator and was actively planning attacks on american citizens for seats officials are now in the process of building a case against them and to prove that a drone strike against him is legal constitutional and necessary the justice department will then present the president with a formal review and the president will have final say. this new information comes less than a year after president obama promised americans where strict control regulations and national defense beach. for the record. i do not believe it would be constitutional for the government the target and kill any us citizen. with a drawn out war with a shotgun without due process. but when a us citizen goes abroad to wage war against america. and is actively plotting to kill us the tests. and when. neither the united states nor our

partners are in a position to capture him before he carries out a plot. the citizenship should no more serve as a shield of the sniper shooting down of an innocent proud to be protected from a swat team members of congress have expressed criticism against america's use of the drone program. even with the new policy is an open plan in place. now those include a house of representatives intelligence committee chairman mike rogers the president's may twenty thirteen policy changes for the us targeted strikes are an utter and complete failure and they'd leave americans lives at risk the ap has agreed to withhold the name of the country that bananas and as a matter of national security. the suspects would not be the first american man has been told by a drone strike. he was indeed the second. to date there have been four americans killed by drone strikes muslim cleric anwar on the lockheed was killed in jenin in two thousand eleven along with some near pune

all of the sixteen year old son of gold miner was killed and another strike two weeks later and then in pakistan in june it can on mohamed was killed and another attack all our table was the only reported us to target killing of an american the others were considered collateral damage. meanwhile a new article by glenn greenwald and jeremy state jail and he tells the national security agency's role in drone attacks. now according to the article the primary method used to locate targets is a computer analysis of mega data and cell phone tracking technology. times that day that is inaccurate so in other words instead of using an informant was on the ground up watching the suspects movements the drill targets the area where the suspects cell phone is located and sometimes that phone is in the hands of a friend when the hands of a family member rather than the suspect himself the information comes from the former drawn operator who work for the joint special operations command as well as for the nsa. it was bolstered

by an average snow in documents as well as see it that document details the geo location technique that is used by the nsa skylight and just when you thought the nsa only controls people's lives it looks like it plays a role in some people's debts as well. meanwhile in on my key on the unlikely ally is working to broker increase cooperation between the us and russia. stevenson all is known around the world for kicking and taking names in his action packed movie is like under siege. i know he is putting on the toy guns and picking up politics as his next action packed adventure. our team that was well reports. one on monday missions in this life is to try to bring this together is from the brothers' last parade and six members of congress went to russia to learn more about the brothers accused of the boston marathon bombings. they brought along action star steven seagal a friend of russian president allowed a mere two and to serve as a

diplomatic liaison was an american was time to do this they could. for one of them even in what i believe is that. rush is an extremely important ally and add the cold war is over. and that we meaning america should really have an open mind and an open heart in terms of trying to create closer and closer better diplomatic relations with russia. viet nam the seventh degree black belt is best known for his roles in action films like above the law and under siege. you see. leon taking down bad guys on the big screen. he does it in real life as a reserve deputy sheriff. it's all captured in is a reality tv series steven seagal mom and the al in its third season seagal is taking his police work to arizona he's partnered with
