five more russian athletes receive lifetime bans from the winter olympics as fears grow the whole of team russia could be prevented from competing in the twenty eighteen games here the latest verdict on the doping scandal from sports teams most of the other evidence in each. incident claims it doesn't prove no one to. give them some time in. germany could be on track for the same coalition government that it had before september's elections three way talks with other parties collapsed last week. police in a french port city of cali concern over a surge in wygant related crime more than a year after the closure of the notorious jungle camp. here police

officers are more than. i cannot remember times when so many colleagues came to me to say that they wanted to leave the police. global headlines every hour you're watching r.t. international live with me daniel hawkins wherever you are thanks for joining us tonight five more russian athletes have been given a lifetime bans from the winter olympics that brings the total number of qualified athletes to nineteen and that decision was made after retesting doping samples from the twenty four teams sortie games based on the findings of the mclaren report now the report also accused russia of state sponsored doping there's still a possibility the entire russian team could be barred from competing in south korea next february the head of the ethics committee of another global sporting body pfieffer 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 port allegations. we need a real clear evidence. and only with an evidence i can make a decision banned or not banned but only for let's say very valid circumstances i never would ban anybody. i wouldn't do that. and russia denies the allegations in that mclaren reports are also investigations into individuals are continuing the international olympic committee says it will release the evidence against the bad athletes in due course our colleague andrew farmer discussed the story with jacqueline. 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 seeing as it was news to each phone should bill ping and the other most of the other evidence. clearance. with the new teams it doesn't prove no one 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. seemed to me to be a sign of additional i've played golf from the start of the to me to be unlikely 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 fit 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 cleared there's still the fact that over a dozen of the teammates have been banned for life at this point and will not be participating. a russian athlete a russian footballers are also getting caught up in the doping scandal just six months before their country hosts the world cup go to europe to go off a former anti doping official turned whistleblower says he has plenty of evidence of players doping however a fee for investigation has been ongoing since june this year and the footballing body says there's no evidence of any wrongdoing and we spoke earlier to football journalists alan moore he thinks the new allegations are an attempt to discredit the world cup in russia. i think that six months later it would 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 russian world there is still a chance in their minds that the war could be stripped from russian there could of course be a chance that somebody will fail simply would at this stage look very unlikely russian football has been tested. in seville could we could see the players retake taken from them testing. random testing is taking place around the russian premier league of course could always be better we no doubt but it's as good as it is anywhere else in the world better and in most cases so. this is just time to sort of like you know take the air rushes sail shall we say before friday. all thirty two nations who will participate at the twenty first feed for world cup on now known but he will be playing against whom in the group stages that will be decided at the draw in moscow this friday the first of december prior to that fee for

president jonny 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 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 host it is absolutely state of the art 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.

now the northern french port city of cal a witness to violent incidents involving people smugglers and migrants on saturday here's how a police officer described the event. saw us what a vehicle approaching a traffic. police went through the road block then knocked down of police officer who was trying to stop him my colleague shot at him because you know nine people were on the vehicle including one smuggler in another incident an alternation between my aunt and smoke will sort it out that would skew smugglers opened fire on migrants injuring one seriously but. now at the height of the migrant crisis calla experienced a huge influx of people into the so-called jungle camp it was used as

a base by people hoping to travel to britain they count was then demolished last year.

i see you're 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 that they wanted to leave the police on 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 anymore where they are going you don't know any more than you thought you will and we also spoke with the deputy mayor of cali 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 that. 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. or human rights advocate keith best told us that removing the jungle jungle camp in cali has only made the situation get worse destroying the jungle taking away the original refugee camp which you may remember was there some years ago in sangatte itself the run by the red cross those don't help they only exacerbate the situation the fact that the police were stopping many of those refugees getting to a hand out 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 will have every sympathy with those truck drivers of many different nationalities who are having their windscreens 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. and. now 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 engage in talks with the social democrats in a serious dedicated manner in our schools aiming for 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 angela merkel christine union and the german president frank bowker steinmeyer in berlin

on thursday for mr schultz though this announcement represents a real one hundred eighty degree turnaround on how he views the grand coalition if we could go. 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 by blimey 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 talks with the chairman of the c.d.u. c.s.u. passes next thursday somebody far more insightful than myself once said that i think was a long time in politics and it certainly does seem to be true for angola 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 she would actually prefer new elections over ruling over

a minority government well she 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 fail porks the 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 we do have people voted back in september those talks taking place in berlin on thursday i'll be back in the german capital then bringing you all of the latest as it emerges from those coalition talks here on r.t. . and we heard from mike so many in craft from the alternative for germany party he

believes chancellor merkel is desperate to hang on to power whatever the political cost when you look closely you can see in the next piece to cheer has destroyed all the possible news on the war possible opponents within the party so she is completely completely lost touch into the public into the public she's just trying to manage the horror and she will sign every contract with the social democrats to remain in office if you look at the results that we have to the fact that in two thousand thirteen to gradually reached sixty seven percent and into talking seventeen it's a fifty six down to fifty three so. there is a sharpie decreasing trust can do to parties and you know to. try to get all due to have. this decrease in trust will lower continue. russia's calling for urgent dialogue to resolve the north korea crisis we'll have

that story and more still to come. you would think so if you're a kurd also just how many u.s. troops are in syria and why and the living hell it is you. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to get the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game

a great chance for. the program the u.s. and south korea will be conducting a major joint military exercise near the north korean border next week russia's voiced concerns over the drills which would involve around twelve thousand american soldiers. in seoul with the latest on the tensions. what has been donald trump's approach to sorting out the north korea crisis in a nutshell all options remain on the table second option not a preferred option they will be met with fire and fury do not

underestimate us and do not try this the distance from here to the border with north korea is only about forty kilometers and once you end up in seoul which is well in the firing range of kim's artillery you can't help looking at that rhetoric from a different perspective especially if there is what you'd call a totally different approach. is absolutely no alternative to dialogue but in order to start a dialogue everyone has to stop take a deep breath and a step from the red line which will. so why can we hope that the only option according to moscow will prevail well the south korean capital is hosting a washington valdai discussion club conference where local officials and experts have gathered to hear what the russian diplomats and researchers have come up with so russia's been saying hey we've got

a plan step one north korea should completely hold its missile and nuclear tests for the u.s. that means and ends to almost nonstop war games with seoul moscow calls it a double freeze step two might be very tough direct talks between washington and pyongyang on rules of peaceful coexistence and finally they should lead to step three establishing a security framework for the entire region with every player involved. doors are closed for the main session and one of the south korean officials who is taking part is the president's advisor for foreign policy. mr burton and offered him what do you think about the russian road map i think that the proposal is very realistic flexible i hope. on your cage in the pentagon winter olympic all the parties concerned between particularly between nelson selves who do

come up with the most at risk rest reigning behavior do you think it's enough in this case of course not enough in the day should be some new initiative to create and sustain peace and impatient donald trump keeps saying that all options are on the table north korean knew that the military option egypt always under the table. by putting the military option and on the table. it's not likely change you know screen behavior as the advisor of the south korean president what do you tell them about the drills personally in the favor engagement dialogue and negotiation with north korea and some people in the government may have different ideas that brings us to why the russian road map may never actually work . because i think most korean politicians believe the trails must be pursued trod

the fence now we're not canceling u.s. korean exercises we just want to postpone for the olympics. others openly reject moscow's plan like the neighbors in tokyo who simply can't imagine security without the drills with their allies so for now south koreans have no other choice but to welcome us raptors and co for the vigilance ace rule gates oh that's just in the few days anyway for those who live in seoul or who are here to talk about keeping the peace in korea that's something to bear in mind. be it for war games or real strikes that would put millions of lives at risk the decision to send let's say warplanes to the korean skies may depend on one single man miles and miles away on the other side of the pacific. now turkey has reiterated its call for the u.s. to stop arming kurdish wipe easy fighters in syria the man who reviews terrorists

this follows an apparent pledge from donald trump to stop supplying weapons to the militia and grouping that has played an instrumental role in driving back islamic state the we will not give work for jim marks from the u.s. president for the first time is important but it will lose value if it's not implemented it would be deceiving the world since the start of a civil war in syria the united states has supported several kurdish groups despite turkey's protests issues become a key stumbling block in relations between washington and i'm korea so we regard as more of the complex web of alliances involving kurds across the middle east kurds 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 and 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 list the please take a 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 u.s. 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 lack legitimacy and the u.s. supports a united iraq disappointment is very good although we have a long negative experience with american wrong size they say in. two out but he believes they have a strong. position against it from don't think a bad idea and i've got a lot of man. come source strong we have on the opposition they think they can even counsel a lot even if the status of the right is a man called to stop. 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 recruiting should we should be doing the kurdish they've proven to be the best

meters they've really proven to be the most really do exist 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 a 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 with. mr trump clearly stated given clear instructions for not to provide the y.a.g. with arms and that this nonsense should have ended long ago. that's all from us for this hour here on our team to national check out any of our stories online at all to dot com on our social media we'll be back in just over twenty five minutes. everybody i'm stephen. hollywood guy you next. right american first of all i'm just george bush and already do you see. this is my buddy max famous financial guru as well just a little bit different on the day you could earn a no no no go with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road to have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap

this is the great american people. the making of the. book. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last wrong turn. caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry finally i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave

a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. is doing an actual job is like basically if i could dig a top euthanasia clinic tromp is the euthanasia doctor america is being euthanized and he's doing in a way where it's at the least amount of pain but that's not that's not cruel i mean these doing does a good euthanasia most is doing things in a cruel free way. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin that my body gets and support is that it cannot

produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity no one does this because it helps people it's just that one of the side effects is that in this applies more. to put money on your car immediately you don't have all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plasma a small company you know a merger of from. one of the risks of a donation. to them is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher paid in it. if i was lying. over two years old he was. in the money using the drug and who runs the blood business.

which is floors. less than. the. notorious. well you've been asked that it's ok it's going you know. why i just said it's all oh yes the other one is what they're going to send you where you. are less but still it is

a gift if it's needed or not so if you do it's national but i've never. heard that. you might. ask for ask but you know there's this thing that's you know it's missing a bit of that of an obvious but that's there in school or smart you. never wish you . would. like to move. on. with in the war. with them. but i think.
