the world headlines live from moscow international with me will receive very soon will join and he said life in such a for more live coverage but for now a russian pilot jailed in the united states will finally receive medical treatment after russian diplomats insisted he was in need of attention. has been suffering severe pain and according to his lawyer may be on the verge of a heart attack i was supposed to get a shot because mother who insisted her son is being left to suffer for absolutely no reason when you see in the world he's not guilty why are they driving him to his death what did he do wrong i keep asking what evil did he cause to the united states what did he do did he kill somebody did he rob somebody no he's not guilty of any crime. and moscow was still waiting for washington to allow a russian delegation of diplomats to actually visit go in person also use an

associate now taking a look back at the case of the exploited. in twenty ten detained in liberia in a sting operation brought on to u.s. soil and twenty eleven sentenced to twenty years behind bars for conspiring to internationally smuggle drugs the case of russian pilot constantin your show stirring relations between moscow and washington returns to the headlines yet again a man with no previous criminal background anywhere in the world someone who has never even stepped foot on u.s. soil prior to his being snatched up by u.s. officials became the first russian citizen to be sentenced in the u.s. for an intent to participate in a crime that was built by special agents posing as drug dealers arrested in a third country after the imprisoned pilots numerous cries for medical help remain unanswered in the u.s. his lawyer after visiting the man in jail recent alarm saying his client needs urgent medical care if he is still live seeing your shadow seems to be on the brink of a heart attack prison officials say they will now look into his health with an emergency

checkup at a hospital but moscow is demanding that the russian citizen being held in a new jersey prison be allowed a proper visit from russian diplomats as well as russian and american doctors for a full examination of his health still to come here and r.t. international edward snowden's lawyer is detained and interrogated by customs officials in london is just the latest such incident for what she was put through why she thinks whistleblowers are being specifically targeted by certain countries . now a decision by the kansas house of representatives to pass a bill which would have allowed the legal discrimination of gay couples was met with outrage across america a somewhat embarrassed state senate now plans to sink the legislation which would have allowed people to use their religious beliefs to openly deny services or employment to same sex couples this report goes to guy in a church. kansas lawmakers have outraged the gay community here in the u.s.

says you know last year the u.s. supreme court ruled that the ban on same sex marriage is unconstitutional so you have states that have embrace this ruling and you have states that are trying to shield themselves from that ruling and here's how kansas is doing it kansas lawmakers have passed a bill that would allow businesses and state government employees to deny services to same sex couples if quote it would be contrary to their sincerely held religious beliefs so according to these lawmakers forcing businesses or state employees to deliver services to same sex couples is a violation of their freedom of religion and speech gay rights advocates are of course outraged over this some say it could be worse than simply not allowing gay marriage because we're talking about services that could include medical care so state hospitals can potentially turn away gay couples at the door and deny treatment and this bill would protect them from discrimination lawsuits if

a gay couple calls the police an officer may refuse to help them on religious grounds that's how broad the language of this kansas bill is we're asking residents of washington d.c. one of the most gay friendly cities in the u.s. what they think about this bill. i think it's really terrible i think that employers should not be able to just like not let same sex couples have the same benefits as regular married couples based on their religious beliefs that's a fundamental contradiction of separation of church and state he might think that's why. why why do you think that. i don't think that the state. should be able to force people to do things that go against their religious beliefs kansas's not alone so-called religious example loss of the. proposed in idaho mississippi ohio oklahoma and oregon twenty

states have laws protecting residents from discrimination based on their sexual orientation but most states do not and it seems last year's supreme court's decision and the overall trend toward equal rights for gay couples have prompted some of these conservative states to take an even more aggressive stance against the gay community in washington i'm going to check on our team earlier we spoke to one activist who told us the same sex couples in kansas are discriminated against on a daily basis regardless of any legislation that's being enacted. in kansas we have no anti-discrimination statute which includes sexual orientation or gender identity even if the supreme court tomorrow were to declare that the kansas. discrimination bans are unconstitutional residents of kansas could go right ahead and discriminated against so it's kind of a smokescreen that

a lot of people are drawing up that this is really about cakes and wedding pictures and people already have the ability to turn that down because there's no connection to her sexual orientation and the main thing that this bill will do that will upset the community is it will enable the government government employees to continue to pick and choose what marriages they deem are valid by the statute so even after state clearly unconstitutional they're trying to give employees and the government the right to go ahead and turn down citizens and i could be any employee of any government agency or still to come here and r.t. international a german perspective on a russian politics show for preteens offers its own controversial view on what goes on and russia raising questions about whether children are being given the wrong message. for all the program russia has from fifth to second in the winter olympics medal table but now faces

a fight to stay there over the last few days of competition let's go live to our studio ought to use it he said now i know good night for russian fans and over two years. yes it was indeed a big triumph for the bobsled team which won the country's first gold in the event in over two decades actually one of russia's champion bob slayers is also in our wrestler and that time caused some tension with his teammate not exactly happy that arm wrestling led to some training sessions being missed luckily they got over that they got the gold we caught up with the winning duo who appeared quite humble. their success. at the moment is one. spiel ject it's a team sport where the result is a combination of many factors it's the pilots work it's the preakness court it's coaches mechanics who team together it's a winter formula one of our new great pilots with a great. deal. while the snowboard and biathlon events that were

canceled on monday due to fix fog are now expected to take place tomorrow and hopefully today's events won't be affected by the weather so far it's looking good but let's check in with andrew farmer to find out what tuesday's got wind up for us and you have a busy schedule what should we be looking out for this tuesday. there's only one place to start at the moment that's the men's ice hockey because russia take on norway for a place in the quarter finals the pressure is mounting on the high surf they filed last night automatically but they really should beat this norwegian side you have lost three opening games and also have a limited squad because they only have something like one player in the n.h.l. compared to something like russia's sixteen however there's been a word of caution from one soviet legend. i think is going to be a. little better. for the team because you have played against norway but it's you

have to or understand you know there's no. picks so you have to be aware they have to respect where you played against the same time you have a chance like to see different combinations and to see what's what you have today and. what you plan for the next round of the quarterfinals. well many people are predicting a russian win but what about the norwegians there are plenty of them here and we caught up so. i. or lose. the game with. a national response expect to be very interesting and i hope norway will the will do good but i think the russian bear will crush them unfortunately for us to see whether those predictions come

true at the bolshoi later on will be full of that norwegian fans will be cheering up here in the mountains because the heavy fog from yesterday does appear to have lifted and that means that the men's starting the will go ahead only on a billion dollar and you know wage and he's going in that he's off to record the winter olympic medalist for the russian interest you to do look out for the name if you can to get on each he's looking to add to the bronze medal he got last week. well let's hope the norwegian fans are a bit more optimistic on the slopes there andrew farmer alive from the mountain cluster at the sochi games have been full of examples of olympic persistence nonna more so than canadian snowboarder the menu the thirty three year old won silver in the women's snowboard cross taking some revenge for her heartbreaking defeat in vancouver four years ago back then multi-day suffered a bad crash in training before the race started injured and in pain she finished

twentieth and failed to pass the qualification round so a great comeback for her in sochi and she told us she was happy with the slopes too as well as getting a chance to meet some new people. you know it's my third time in racing in sochi last year to get this no condition wasn't easy for sure but this year it's a totally spring condition and we we used to race in those kind of snow kind of ambition and they wasn't that bad a good men those course was really good and they did a great job in the course it was there for sure they could get bigger and we used to ride but it was really fun and good speed and a good show. thank you. keep to seattle see it's great experience for everyone and i would like to see a push will be keeping you up to date with what's happening here in sochi the women's giant slalom is supposed to start in less than two hours let's hope that goes ahead as planned we're watching the weather for now back to you in moscow.

a session of hostile question it was a line of questioning that went beyond the usual that went into who i represent as an attorney any kind of line of questioning into my into the details of my work and specific clients is beyond the ambit of what any normal customs official would ask i've never been asked these kinds of questions and found it to be very intimidating and hostile. at london's heathrow airport that was in august last year he was questioned for nine hours and all of those electronic equipment was seized just because of his loose affiliation with edward snowden just saying it's a very wiring trend. i feel like lawyers and journalists are now beginning to be targeted at the borders of countries in the western hemisphere in so-called democratic countries and it's

a threat to press freedom when journalists are questioned and it's a threat to the integrity of the judicial system when attorneys who are working on someone's case are being harassed or intimidated on the basis of who they represent online for you right now with dot com as the u.s. prepares to pull out of afghanistan the pentagon is up another part of central asia and. could soon appear. as washington considers opening new drone bases right along the afghan border as details of that at r.t. dot com for you right now. is this story in qatar at the cost of hosting a major sporting event is being paid in human lives hundreds of immigrant construction workers have so far died while building stadiums and infrastructure for the twenty twenty two football world cup those details as well at r.t. dot com right now. are we approaching reality world update for now though

banking giant barclays is facing a crisis of customer confidence after the private data of thousands of his clients was leaked medical issues income salaries savings insurance policies all apparently used as tools of manipulation by unscrupulous brokers. reports. when you go to the bank in on some personal questions about your finances the last thing you expect is that you ron says are going to be sold on to rogue traders but that's exactly what happened to twenty seven thousand bodies customers here in the u.k. it was an anonymous whistleblower who handed some of that stolen data over to the mail on sunday newspaper revealing. the worst case of data loss from a high street bank the police are now investigating. this is the worst leak i've come across by far but this illegal trade is going on all the time in the city i

a top priority and we take this issue extremely seriously this appears to be criminal action and we will cooperate with authorities in person in the perpetrator the banks already had to pay two hundred ninety million pounds fine for its part in the libel rigging scandal they've also had to set aside two billion pounds to compensate people who were missed so payment protection insurance but regaining trust after this latest blunder could be something that money can't buy. poorly boy kerio artsy london part nine twenty am here in moscow venezuela has given three u.s. consular officials forty eight hours to leave the country in response to. a week of national one rest thank you thank you for your president nicolas maduro accusing american officials of fueling student protests

. such is to understand what she is a city in russia the head of state in russia is a bloody mary putin and he doesn't always respect human rights in his land this is how the german kids' t.v. show logo dealt with the build up to the winter olympics event a short look at some of the clips and you see the show dealing with complex issues in the simple ways. at a pre-teen audience. bloody me a putin this how does it feel there are so many people in russia who think that like david korten is in power way too long and that it is known that he will win the election before the vote even started then regarding critics of the kremlin unlike say in the buy in the galaxy never really is putin's opponent and he has always declared it out loud and many people think that's the only reason why he had to go to jail. and all the athletes going to the winter games of the and that if and they find it bad that human rights in russia are not always respected.
