more. receive life from the big sales figures. to be prevented from competing in the upcoming twenty eight. we hear the latest verdict on the doping scandal for which he. claims it doesn't prove. germany could be on track for the same coalition government before september's elections three other parties. are coming up. in the french ports to voice over a surge in migrant related crime more than

a year after the closure of the jungles. here police officers. i cannot remember times when so many. wanted to leave the police. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow choose the september the twenty eighth where ever in the world you're tuning in from welcome. to our to international our top story this hour five more russian given life time bombs from the winter olympics brings the total number of this qualified to nineteen the decision was made after retesting doping samples from the twenty four games based on the findings of the maclaurin report it also accused russia of. state sponsored doping there is still the

possibility that the entire russian team could be barred from competing in south korea next february but the head of the ethics committee of another global sporting body fifa doesn't believe there is sufficient evidence of state involvement to justify such a move. we have a mclaren report and we have in the mclaren part allegations. we need a real clear evidence. and only with an evidence i can make a decision banned or not banned but only for very valid circumstances i never would ban anybody. i wouldn't do that. russia denies the allegations in the mclaren report well investigations into individuals are continuing the international olympic committee says it will release the evidence against the banned athletes into course my colleague and reformer discuss that

aspect with jacqueline bouvier. well the problems really circle around the fact that ever since the mclaren report came out in two thousand and sixteen with allegations of state sponsored doping in russia different monitoring organizations have looked into that searching for some sort of evidence to back up those claims but all we've seen is a noticeable lack of proof to back them up that we spoke with the water president who says well it hasn't been found yet it's just a matter of time let's take a listen keep saying it was news to each bunch of guilty and the other most of the other david lynch. claims. without incident claims it doesn't prove you know want to. give them some time so there we have him conceding that it's just been hinted at the idea that a state sponsor scheme was in place and saying just give us time but the question is how much time do they need and those band l. plates have actually voiced concerns that there's a possibility that a political motivation could be behind these decisions and again going back to the

water present he conceded that it's impossible to divide the worlds of politics and sports. seem to me to be a sign of additional you've played golf from the start of the shield to be to be on lightly that politics should stop at one o'clock and start again want to finish it five o'clock the politics rules everybody's life savannah so they are to be involved in some way in trying to clean everything we do in school just part of what we do so this point we're only three months out from the next winter olympics and it's important to remember that the whole russian team is under review at this point on the summer if it will be announced whether or not they will be able to participate in next year's games in south korea and even if the team is clear there still the fact that over a dozen of the teammates have been banned for life at this point and will not be participating. russian footballers are also getting caught up in the doping scandal just six months before their country hosts the world cup gregorio off a former russian official turned whistleblower say he has plenty of evidence of

players doping however investigation has been ongoing since june of this year the footballing body say's there's no evidence of any wrongdoing. sports journalist alan moore thinks that the new allegations are an attempt to discredit the world cup in russia i think that six months later it will be very very unlikely simply would turn we probably will see more of this because this is making a lot of noise to take away from the russia world cup there is still a chance in their minds that the rule will be stripped from russian there could of of course be a chance that somebody will fail simply would at this stage it looks very very unlikely russian football has been tested. in seville could we go to the players or take take a random testing. random testing is taking place around a russian premier league of course can always be better we no doubt it's as good as it is anywhere else in the world better and in most cases so you know this is just

time to sort of like you know take care of roche's sales shall we say before friday . all thirty two nations who will participate at the twenty first fifa world cup are known but who will be playing against who in the group stages that will be decided at the draw in moscow this friday the first of december not prior to not feed for president gianni infantino shared his thoughts on the sport's biggest showpiece event coming to the world's biggest country. we are expecting smooth operations everything has been done for the fans to come to russia and to and to enjoy the world cup for instance a new concept with a fan ideas being put in place by the russian authorities or by the russian government fan idea which will allow visa free entry which will allow free transportation by train between the host cities and many other benefits for the fans we have already seen that the stadiums the stadiums and eleven also it is

absolutely state of the art that they were in tears are very welcoming the country is welcoming the people want to see people from all over the world to come and discover that maybe they don't know and they will be very very positively surprised . the northern french port city of cali witness to violent incidents involving people smugglers and migrants on saturday you're so one of the city's police officers describe events. approaching a traffic. police went through the roadblock then knock down a police officer who was trying to stop him my colleague shorter because you know

nine people were on the vehicle including one smuggler. in another incident and altercation took place between migrants and smugglers smugglers opened fire on migrants injuring one seriously but because they are joining the migrant crisis calley experienced a huge build up of like grants on the jungle camp where many gathered became notorious it was used as a base by people hoping to travel to britain in the camp was then demolished last year.

by c.e.o. . here police officers are more than fed up i've been doing this job for twenty six years quite long and police union career i cannot remember times when so many colleagues came to me to say they wanted to leave at least one could ignore me it's shocking but keep it up with shocking because i do not feel they're motivated any more but they're stuck between a rock and a hard place administration the legal system and citizens who do not know any more where they are going you don't know any more. well we took the chance to speak with

the deputy mayor of kelly about the weekend's events and some of the migrant thing crying that's still persists he thinks the government should provide more support in dealing with migrants and deport those who commit offenses. it is unbelievable after all the problems we've met in the past. the government is not taking more action against those people. and that is really only realistic it's a bit away from the city center but it could happen to the city center why is the government not acting more strongly against those people if somebody's illegal in the country. even if he's young if an offense is done a serious offense is done most be sent back to his country yeah among the reaction we got was from human rights advocate the best to all of us his point is that the

mullahs shing the callee migrant camp has simply worsen the situation there. destroying the jungle taking away the original refugee camp which you may remember was there some years ago in song got itself to run by the red cross those don't help they only exacerbate the situation it's the fact that these were stopping many of those refugees get into a hand outs of food for example that just makes the situation worse it's a very very complicated situation i mean first of all i think any right minded person would have every sympathy with those truck drivers of many different nationalities who are having their windscreen smashed their tires slashed and who are being intimidated by these desperate people who want to get on board their trucks in order to stand a chance of getting to the u.k. . the german chancellor and her party's leaders have said they would be willing to

return to the same coalition that govern the country before september's vote. we are ready to gauge and talks with the social democrats in a serious dedicated mandate in our success. following that invitation from chancellor merkel schultz of the social democrats accepted and said that his party would take part in coalition talks with representatives of angle of merkel's christian union and the german president frank bowker steinmeyer in berlin on thursday for mr schultz though this announcement but it represents a real one hundred eighty degree turnaround on how he views the grand coalition just a week ago. you know we're not entering a grand coalition we said this clearly in loose room after the elections and we still stand by this. time for shut out the s.p.d.

party has confirmed that i should accept the invitation from the german president to take part in took with the chairman of the c.d.u. c.s.u. passes next thursday somebody far more insightful than myself once said that a week was a long time in politics and it certainly does seem to be true for angle and merkel as well seven days ago she was picking up the pieces after jamaica coalition talks broke down she said looking at the two options that would look like the only ones available to you were a minority rule or new elections that you would actually prefer new elections over ruling over a minority government well he has changed her mind on that somewhat saying that it wasn't a good idea right now to put the decision on who would govern germany back to the german people that they'd already made their minds up back in september and it was up to the politicians to try and hammer out a coalition so where are we right now two months on from the general election in

germany lots of late nights lots of debates lots of of talks failed pork spending more talks on the horizon. and as it stands at the moment it looks like we could be going right back to the grand coalition that ruled germany before the german people voted back in september those talks taking place in berlin on thursday i'll be back in the german capital then and bring you all of the latest as it emerges from those coalition talks here on r.t. . driver in and hovan who are former german intelligence officer runner up believes angola merkel has good reason to oppose the idea of snap elections in germany the criticism of. the business miracle tremendously increased you know all park you so it's quite clear why she doesn't want a new elections because there are serious considerations if this you knew would be able to achieve even those two numbers which.

if if chancellor merkel would run again so new elections are quite out for us or sort of their only option for her is to try to force. the course into a grand coalition. turkey has reiterated its call for the us to stop arming kurdish y p g fighters in syria and. terrorists and follows an apparent pledge from donald trump to stop supplying weapons to the militia grouping that has played an instrumental role in driving back islamic state the we will not give weapons remarks from the us president for the first time is important but it will lose value if it's not implemented it would be deceiving the world. if washington does stop supplying weapons to the kurds it's likely to go

some way to easing the current tension between the u.s. and turkey has been highly critical of washington for arming what it sees those terrorists and using them to fight islamist extremist groups america for its part has sided with the various kurdish groups when it needs their own despite turkey's concerns so it just. hurts the largest stateless minority in the world the kurdish population is in turkey iraq and syria and it seems for the us it's more about where they are rather than who they are. let's start with turkey on one side and cora washington's regional and nato ally on the other on cars sworn enemy the rebellious kurdistan workers party fight against the dash terrorist organisation should not be left with another terror organization we want to believe that our allies would choose to stand beside us and not on the side of terrorist organizations well the choice is obvious and the us lists the

p.k. k. as a terrorist group we support turkey in the first fight against terror and terror groups like isis and the p.k. k. . over in iraq the kurdish peshmerga were crucial when the us fight against the islamic state washington put up money and provided all the weapons they needed but with most of the fighting over so is america's benevolence iraqi kurds are losing the oil wells they fought out of terrorist control and the reserves are now going back under government control the us ability and baghdad. the kurdish push for independence has also received the cold shoulder with secretary tillerson stating that the referendum and its results lacked legitimacy and the u.s. supports a united iraq the disappointment is very good really it although we have a long negative experience with america and wrong size the sin of

the two are but the solution have a strong. position against that if random encourages our body on the iraqi government to come source strongly we are in a position that they think they can even cancel or even it status of federalism and call the start. off to neighboring syria where the kurdish y p g also got everything they needed from the u.s. in their fight against eisel money weapons training and praise we should be using the kurdish we should be booming the kurdish they've proven to be the best meters really proving to be the most really do it and we should be working with them much more suitable. but they managed to hang on to the oil fields that they liberated with no questions from their american pals washington claims that it seeks

a unified and sovereign syria but it also wants a syria without assad i think the united states will continue to support the kurds we heard general mattis and the secretary of defense say only a few days ago that the united states would remain in northern syria or in order to give traction for that you need of process and that means that the united states wants leverage they want leverage against assad against russia and against iran and of course the kurdish troops that the united states has been arming now own about twenty five percent of syria's territory in the north end up somewhere around fifty percent of all the oil and gas in syria so this gives the kurds quite a bit of leverage well that's unless turkey gets its way the same from mr trump clearly stated that he had given clear instructions to not to provide the white e.g. with arms and that this nonsense should have ended long ago. so any arabia has hosted

an islamic country or terrorism summit which is already being described as an ar a nato meeting it was opened by the saudi crown prince. for the last few years terrorism was at large in all our countries and most of these groups have been working in several countries at the time without there being a strong coordination between muslim countries but now we have this alliance that at the same time the gulf monarchy passed a new country terrorism law but critics say it's aimed at the opposition rather than extremists they cite one part that calls for up to ten years behind bars for patrolling a roiling quote a manner that brings religion or justice into disrepute well sarah leah whitson from human rights watch told me the wording of the law is so vague that it could be used to put any critic of the saudi regime in prison. the new counter-terrorism

legislation goes much further than what any terrorism legislation should do it is not limited by its terms to people who commit violence or political analysts or carry out other crimes for political ends or rather includes a wide variety of the oh so called offenses really aren't offenses at all but not only does the law describing them as as crimes describing them as terrorism the prior counter-terrorism law was probably worse than the current law it has some small tweaks in improvements but the fundamental problem remains that for example criticizing the crown prince really appearing in a manner that supposedly harms the reputation of justice a religion is a terrorist offense and what the government has done is use this terrorism law to put critics of political matters in jails in. a

hospital in western poland is under fire for installing a far from welcoming and provocative sign that it's entrance it say is that entry is forbidden to jews commies and traitors of poland the hostel is run by an ultra nationalist who was sentenced to three months hasse arist earlier this year for burning an effigy of a jewish person during an update my current demonstration local authorities are looking into whether to charge him with incitement because of the ban or what some locals make of. it is it was that well this is his opinion some day he will be hanged for things like this better to do it yes i'm sure you know that i oppose such banners as i'm not a racist i reject such propaganda anyone can place whatever they want on their phones now because i'm ethical and not the way for people to behave one can do such things when this just a good positive attempt to live i think we should be tolerant you can advance

certain groups of people from entering and no one may come to our village the main thing is how they behave now and respect the laws. the world jewish congress made it clear accusing polish authority of failing to prosecute the hostile owner is really jewish studies professor jeffrey will told us there is a worrying rise in december in poland the jewish population is very very concerned they find it very worrying i spoke to a number representing a number of representatives of the community today but on the other hand they know how much good work that has been done and it is ongoing between the jewish community in warsaw and and elsewhere in krakow and jewish and the and the general community for example the fact of the matter is that rabbis are now teaching about israel in judaism in the public schools not just informally so you're talking about a very mix of two asian but this is definitely a throwback and the rise of polish nationalism appears to be going together with an

increase over a rebirth of anti-semitic feelings and and actions. the world's very first big ascript a currency bitcoin a new record highs peaking at almost ten thousand dollars it's mine by computers which soul of sophisticated algorithms to generate the digital coin but the process consumes more electricity in a year than an average size european country does in october alone the power used to mine bitcoin went up by thirty percent if those rates continue it's predicted there could be a global power cut by twenty twenty r.t.s. financial show host max kaiser say's the thirst for crypto won't slow down any time soon as investors turn their hard digital. we're seeing the latter currencies are in a hyper inflationary collapse against bitcoin i think we'll see

a major price correction somewhere at the twenty five thousand dollars per bit coin level up and pull that prices achieved it looks like we'll see thirty strong moves but one interesting scenario that we have to consider is that bitcoin become something of a financial black hole and all cash that's currently invested in stocks and bonds is moved over into bitcoin and we have a stock market or bond market crash or both as we see the price of bitcoin move into the twenty five thousand dollar range and that's something that no central bank or or country will be able to stop and it's becoming a real a real scenario a real threat energy required to mine bitcoin is quite significant and that gives you the underlying value of bitcoin it cost about two thousand dollars to mine

a bit going it has real intrinsic value that gives you an indication that we're not talking about something that has no intrinsic value it does at the energy cost being part of the intrinsic value scenario and as the demand for big oil rises the energy will be there to meet that demand that's the way capitalism works. the church of sweden has been forced to respond to claims that its rules gold must only be referred to in gender neutral terms the story was spread by a number of international news outlets of course the traditional expressions of christian faith remain in the new worship book however some gender neutral ways of addressing god have been added in some prayers in swedish there is nowadays an official gender neutral pronoun has this one it is not used at all in the worship book. ok let's go through what is actually changing at the beginning of services it will be deemed acceptable to use three different ways of describing gold in the church of sweden one of those will be gender neutral the holy spirit will be

referred to in the female grammatical gender is the reaction i got from guess or near. crucifying which is for example when it says bless it is a man who was not in the counsel of the ungodly we understand that the word man there means men and women when we talk about mankind it is just mean men to the exclusion of women it means all of us so we reject this divisiveness this setting men and women the future of the real in real life we have to get on with each other of course churches should modernize of course over this organization that indeed all organizations to continually seat to modernize and to promote greater equality between the sexes and also you know between different races and between people from all sorts of different backgrounds and different life experiences and you know what but the church has a very poor history on this it's not it's not a question of it catching up with the times it's way behind the times it has a history of treating women pretty horrifically you know the best plan would be to get rid of it and frankly also you know to get rid of those people advocating for

it and talking about the issues which are how do we present the christian face to people out there and i believe that we do that are being faithful to the scriptures faithful to the to the witness and the ministry of the lord jesus christ if we want to look at it like what the actual scripture says the scripture says all sorts of horrific things if you know you go back to the old testament and and this god of yours saving is killing people left right and center and and if you look at the new testament the most perfect woman is presented as a virgin you had a baby it's not really an achievable lifestyle what we need to do is for the church needs to modernize this isn't about the church and the christmas is about the person of jesus christ that's what it's all about that made me feel going to arrest me to forgive us our sins or did he not to us but it's a question of us or we asking ourselves what he didn't really there's not much evidence to suggest he did it seems pretty clear that that i mean fictional it was also also the discussion must be conducted in a childish way like that of course of course it is there is there is overwhelming

evidence of the life of course not least in the gospels and that's where i'm standing. ok that's our news stories for now i'll be back in half an hour's time with play. more news and views from r t h q here in the heart of moscow. but. it was time to be at. the top.

i says was it to by the americans by this right is unfortunately by financial support of something. contrary in there. for making them unsafe you.
