is r.t. international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. russia will remain banned from the upcoming winter paralympics in south korea the i.p.c. the international paralympic committee will make a final decision about the russian team in january just one month before the competition starts. joins me live with more details by the nasty outside the fate of the paralympic team isn't one hundred percent clear yet. the international paralympic committee here in london has announced their decision to maintain the suspension of the russian paralympic committee when it comes to the upcoming games and chang and twenty eighteen now they've also said that they're going to be announcing their final decision on whether or not the russian pair or a libyan star going to be able to participate in those upcoming games in january

which essentially leaves them with very little time holding their breath until the very last minute to find out whether or not they're going to be able to participate now another element of this decision that was announced here in london was that they're going to maintain a decision was that was initially implemented back in september that for particular sports those athletes are going to be able to compete in qualifying events leading up to the games under neutral flags and those sports include alpine skiing cross-country skiing on and. snowboarding and it's quite important that in this decision announced today it was said that russia needs to follow up with five more criteria in order for the russian parliament committee to be fully reinstated in the i.p.c. and one of those criteria crucially includes that the russian anti-doping agency needs to be fully reinstated in the world anti-doping agency and this is key

because for that to happen it's been said by water that that what they want to see is russia basically admitting the doping allegations that have been made against it something that russia has been refusing to do this whole time so that's quite crucial and let's keep in mind that two years ago in the months leading up to the real limpy games in twenty sixteen there was a complete ban on russian athletes partaking in those games so which was seen as a very kind of crucial step so things were unraveling in that. sense not quite well obviously for the team and it has to be said that just earlier this month in law than it was announced that there will be no team russia when it comes to the olympic games this winter that clean athletes will be able to partake under a neutral flag so think of but not going to well at all for these latest developments when it comes to the anti russia allegations so we're going to be

watching now what it is exactly that the international paralympic committee is going to be saying in january now leading the way shall not honest i say can and london thank you very much. well joining me now in the studio to discuss the i.p.c. decision further is daniel hawkins hi there dan thank you very much for joining me so we listen to what master had to say there but let's also look at the fact that these these people are athletes and there's been a delay here i mean what impact do you think it will have on this particular psychologically indeed bearing in mind the initial press conference was shows old for friday the board of ford put out this statement for wednesday today which they've said that they final decision will be made at the end of january bearing in mind that's going to be only a few weeks before the event itself so it's going to be a psychological burden on those athletes who've been training and preparing for this for all their lives in many of the cases they will not know whether they'll be able to compete as neutrals but there won't be able to compete at all bearing in mind that in some disciplines russian athletes are already to be allowed to compete

under a neutral flag in the alpine skiing discipline biathlon cross-country skiing snowboarding why this can perhaps a bit extended to more sports is a question i guess for the power in a big international paralympic committee but certainly in terms of the impact this will have not only on their preparation but in terms of testing as well i mean we're seeing other athletes come forward as well not from russia who are saying they're not really aware what the criteria is anymore for singling out doping for singling out cheating and even very getting pretty bored about submit examples we've got one. beyond norwegian biathletes he says that even he is not sure of the standards that are actually used anymore to determine guilt by these agencies this take a listen to what. we know about how the russians completing it until they got the right policy

but sure they are clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation. well that was of course one of them philip raven one of the top of . the wrong the wrong clip there but nevertheless what he said there about russia having to prove that the not only have clean athletes clean sport but they are a clean nation take that to word to mean what you will of course but certainly this is indicative of what many would call some sort of bias against russia because there is not this presumption of innocence until proven guilty a blanket ban on all athletes is a step that is quite a brush that ended really at least for several you know it's a national events in a row so certainly there is talk of a certain politicization here as well in terms of political aspects to at this point daniel thank you very much indeed we can now bring in alan moore who's the sports host on capital f.m. here in moscow alan it's a pleasure to meet you i mean let's have a look at some of this decision then i mean why do you think there's been

a delay over deciding whether or not that the russian athletes can go i mean with a month to go before the tournament that's that's really close isn't it yeah i mean it's the same as it was with the rio olympics where they kind of put it back put it back isn't it in a very very serious sense devaluing the paralympics and the efforts of paralympians who kind of shows it has been less of people. what we would call able able bodied athletes so this is this is a terrible way to do it also i think we have to understand that this week alone we've had huge crimes as we know breaking over chris froome and his use of an asp inhaler. yesterday overnight we had just in gotland and his agent who is agent and coach and john mitchell who's very very involved the u.s. olympic team can we have both had to get drugs and whoever is on trial. and they knew people who were taking drugs yesterday of course we had there not one

committee in one court decided that the evidence used to cleats wouldn't stand up in court so this you know did this sort of moves a narrative back onto russia the flecks of the ongoing problems in world sport and the battle for control of water and the i.o.c. makes is kind of talk about something else instead of actually trying to kill sport in trying to make sport easier i understand you said if you know beyond all says that nobody knows what's going on is true people are spoken to. and even paralympians they don't know what the standard is for qualification anymore and there's also isn't there a question to both you guys i mean isn't it a question also of logistics if you're sort of saying to your whole athletic. athletic team you're saying we don't know whether or not you can take part and then same but with a month to go we'll give you a decision well there's a couple of issues there first of all the athletes themselves psychologically don't know what's going on also their proprietary teams to also the people who are organizing travel what about people in south korea trying to work out whether or

not what they can do in terms of their own event i mean do you think first of all the now and that this will have a knock on effect on the games themselves i think overall it will i mean it's already very messy as it stands with the record of big games the way the russian athletes are being treated and my new them are still under question of what it will be allowed to compete as i say the idea that there is somewhere a load somewhere north we don't know the exact criteria just yet. in terms of logistics i mean i can just give one simple example of a tennis player and we are used to work with two rain delays so she would take practice came off without practice and came off and she were dead and played one of the worst games of her life and lost because her mind was and you know you comported into this for paralympians they don't know if they're going to be going you know where they're going to be going and the increased cost on do russian olympic council is is even worse did i mean looking at that particular issue as well and i was sort of touching on. there so the i.o.c. were able to make a decision but the i.p.c. wants i mean does that touch as i said on those political decisions and indeed

something. commented on that burden of proof that athletes are saying wouldn't stand up in court i mean the. last year with regard to these allegations of a mass state doping program they've certainly presented some evidence without a doubt they've said that they strongly suspect there was a doping program but if you look at the statement they they put out they said that there is nothing that can prove conclusively that there was a mass doping program at a height state level that's something they said and again go back to the issue of competing under a neutral flag which some they are allowed to compete under in those disciplines and they're up being allowed to compete in the winter olympics in korea i mean if the crux of the issue here is dealing with doping in singling out those athletes that are drug cheats if they are allowed to to prove that they are clean under a more stringent testing regime imposed on the russian team as a whole why then are they not being allowed to compete under

a national flag i mean how does taking a flag away deal with the problem of doping surely this is something that is slightly illogical perhaps we're i know that it doesn't make sense at all i mean it is kind of this. blanket but it's not as harsh harsh it's very very unfair and i think it's it's something that i don't think sport needs to move towards you know we we've had countries bottom for example south africa for an hour an apartheid regime and just last year we had the same kind of connotations and actually comparisons brought between russia as the term state sponsor dropping and the south african apartheid ratios resume so i mean are two completely different things get to trying to equate them sort of. that basically makes it even worse and as i said to strip away the whole the the emblems to fly the national anthem so it's. it's it's making a huge milos something which is putting black and delaying having sport clean and

on a relatively live level playing field well the one thing i agree with you guys i mean the one thing i fight find i can't quite get my head around is having to have the decision about from the i.o.c. what they wish that they said they wanted to see going forward in the fact that yes russian athletes could compete you know if they proved that they were clean they could compete under a neutral flag having made that decision i don't think quite understand why the i.p.c. can't follow up with that decision why do you think there are two standards here the question many many will be asking and the certainly the both the i.o.c. and the i.p.c. have made very stringent demands of the russians or the russian olympic committee the paralympic committee as to what exactly they have to change for these bans and suspensions to be lifted i believe they were around twenty criteria the russian authorities met eighteen out of them they were formed the whole doping testing process they were formed a sort of a loud international actors to come in and participate in these testing schemes they made doping a criminal offense punishable by have to find by jail time as well they couldn't

meet the final two because one of the conditions of water as far as i understand it perhaps correct me if i'm wrong i'll involve them actually acknowledging that there was a program which they refused to do because they of course the know this. now it seems in a way that whatever russia does is never enough. this presumption of innocence until proven guilty. due to this lack of evidence that as you say wouldn't perhaps start up in a court of law does kind of put russia between a rock and a hard place i mean do they admit that this took place the spot that i get along. or do they face these ongoing blanket balances and suspensions it really kind of puts them in a court of those that does it puts them in a vicious circle and finally when would you say then coming back to then on this particular issue we have the split don't we have the spirit in the i.o.c. we have the split with the i.p.c. so therefore is it is it just porting decision or is it a political decision. do you think. it can only right now be perceived as just absolute chaos with the p.c.

. it is political because the consistency the makeup of the i.o.c. is very different to a p.c. and the p.c. have always taken a harder line in which their money case is fair because you know there has traditionally been a huge problem globally with doping in russia and mine your country's and especially russia they've been cleaning up the rocked. the only country where children know in sport schools are being educated about the dangers of doping has not taken place on europe so this is where you need to start what do the way to sipc decisions been taken it's kind of late to increase the polish and i think there are order or you. can use actors behind the i.p.c. who are pushing this until it is very very clear from the look when they please be for real. they they they're not looking out for the good of the paralympics or paralympians they're simply looking to try and further their nest and to make sure to keep money coming in and this is where if we chased the money trail on this where it's going this is how it's going to work because maybe if they said we want

russia to pay fifty million dollars then it would be a bit easier. well this is going to be a fascinating debate gentlemen i think it's going to rumble on especially while we wait for that next decision coming up in january but in the meantime alan moore thank you very much like your thank you. british lawmakers have slammed social media giants for failing to crack down on hate speech one m.p. was particularly tough on the twitter official for not deleting a certain anti semitic tweet. that is still up on your platform why is it i don't know the answers that question. what is it that we have to do to get you to take it down we are constantly looking at these policies looking at these processes i will take that away and i will come back to you with a definitive answer as to why it is still there well social media giants have been facing growing pressure to combat hateful and abusive behavior online in response

to it to has recently introduced new policies that target accounts calling for violence but the platform's been accused of being selective over who it decides to purge. as more details. the twitter purge the social network has launched its campaign to root out hate speech would require offending tweets to be removed and repeated violations will result in poem and suspension among the first to go offline the account of the far right u.k. political group britain first known for offensive anti muslim post as well as personal pages of its leaders paul golding and his deputy j. to franzen donald trump came under fire for retreating her anti muslim post last month so far terms page is still up and running the white supremacist magazine american renaissance and its editor were also booted off along with the american nazi party space age racist and discriminatory accounts like these surely have to be shut down but the problem is so far the punishments don't seem to be being doled out with an even hand something clearly shown by the number of users who recently

posted scores of death threats and promises of violence to the federal communications commission chief over his campaign to scrap net neutrality in the us this user employed both racist terms and call for violence but the account is still active another tweet laying out a desire to kill pie is still readily available and it goes on from there active accounts glorifying and inciting violence even his wife and children were named and attacked and the past pie himself has called twitter out as one of the problems with an open internet company usually goes when it comes to the deep beer wine service users. this is not a. good this is playing right. now twitter has admitted it will make mistakes in the quest to make the platform a safer place but so far it's hate purge seems more than a little messy and on even the people at twitter just like other social media platforms are under tremendous pressure because they just see themselves as sort of

neutral players but in reality twitter is an active participant in the political process. on the side of the left hateful speech i just i just don't know where i don't even know where that begins and ends and it it seems like it's always up to someone else what what hate is just hate speech in and of itself the phrase itself is always used against conservatives it's never that you never hear about hate speech from the left the restrictions are always on conservatives never on liberals and so i don't i don't take any effort to sort of police twitter or facebook seriously as a fair exercise. for me while facebook has also been accused of abusing its monopoly in germany and of a limitless collection of its uses they said peter over the joins me live now with

more details on this. hi peter so what's got the german authorities so concerned about this well this latest information has come from the wonderfully named german federal cartel office that's the big compared competition watchdog here in germany now they've slammed facebook saying that its users have literally no idea just how much of their data is being collected and how that can be used to target advertisements directly off them or is the concern about the collection of data outside facebook's social network and the merging of this data into uses facebook accounts were not convinced the uses have given their effective consent to facebook's data tracking and merging of data into their facebook account. it's interesting this is an ongoing investigation it isn't actually looking at how facebook gathers people's data but it's looking at the fact that facebook essentially sits by and watches the the lives and interests of its users and then

that information in his ultimate leak alternately collected now for its part facebook says that the f c o have misrepresented them saying this they aren't a dominant force on social media in germany because in their opinion in order to be a dominant force there should be no alternatives and facebook point out that there are alternative social media platforms available here in germany however when it comes to the legal side of this sharing information with a third party is a legal here in germany what we are seeing though is more and more attention turning toward social media groups not just here but also across wider europe if we look over into france there we can see this the authorities there are about to impose a fine on what's up the messaging up after it shared information of its users with facebook rember of course facebook bought what's up but in twenty fourteen we aren't expecting to see any fine from this report here in germany but when the full

report is published it's expected in summer next year we are expecting to see there be some major recommendations for an overhaul in the way facebook operates here in germany and perhaps it could affect wider world as well. let's see what they do about the overall interesting piece or all of that in berlin thank you. were violent clashes are becoming a frequent sight between german police and the far left anti for movement but that conflict has taken on a new dimension with both sides publishing online galleries of shame against their rivals planty for has made public the photos of fifty four police officers which the left wing activists believe used excessive force cheering and eviction last year obvious what. i don't. know that's a little it was funny it. was

. was are you are that are are are are well in a statement on t. for said the movers in retaliation for german police publishing over one hundred photos and videos of g. twenty protest as well those people also suspected of having broken the launcher in the unrest that engulfed the city of hamburg germany the summit in the summer comes we encourage those who can provide relevant information who can identify offenders from the photos to contact us so the suspects are investigated. i.

will not indulge a member of humbugs parliament believes by those signs are using tactics that will only increase tensions. if you put pictures of demonstrators on the internet which can be used by everyone it's not a way to solve a conflict and it's not a way to soften policeman india internet the only way is to talk and not to try to criminalize either all demonstrators because indeed. the chief of police and the prosecutors and part of the politicians as well everyone who protested in g twenty has been nearly like a criminal and we can see at the g twenty there was a very escalated police policing strategy that was

a problem then there was the. chief of police who is well known for his militaristic view on demonstration and that he's not able to do deescalate of police work both sides in this conflict abuse basic human rights and the law that doesn't lead into nothing but into cars. now who has the right to fish in the u.k. well if you go by this sign as i like in oxford nobody from eastern european countries and particularly poland can engage in the sport well that's out rate one polish angler who is now trying to take over the action that dopey of skinny ass they is to remove the sign but his request was ignored they also haven't responded to a letter from the equality and human rights commission and just about the s.k. believes he has no support from the local authorities a sign is actually been reported to me by to remain united and because of

a project i'm running for the last seven years which is at the patient on integration to eastern european migrants they decided to. ask me for help i followed the rules of the this country went to the police police told me it was nothing to do with then i have appealed and appealed has been upheld so it means they did everything in their power to you know to deal with vinson and then equality and human rights commission they keep saying that. they only advisory body so they do and it's been a part of giving advice you know i for exactly probably like many other people that if we see in a discrimination resign we're going to be able to go to the police and the signs going to be taken unfortunately the realities of the french and we have to learn to sort of corporator within this reality but we're also trying to get a comment from the fishery however announce machine says the farm is currently closed almost is now launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for legal action is also received more than knowing. quite positively actually positively surprised by the reaction i get you

know i have a lot of positive comments about you know about the fund raising and a lot of commons encouraging me to me and other you know to fight to get this signed removed if they want to ban all fisherman they more than happy to do so because it is a private line but banning a specific group of people is a wrong thing to do and you cannot refuse your services to a person only because he was born in the country this is not how ethical business should work and this is i'm sure this is illegal well for more on these and plenty of other stories website r.t. dot com otherwise i'll be back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class
