10:02 am
controversial decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinians as you know consider the eastern part of the holy see to be zero ter three and of course the have been encouraged dramatically by the announcement they have been violent protests all over the world among palestinians and those who sympathize with that and of course here in palestinian authority we hear that there are hundreds of protesters participating in today's the brand again. now. the officer is talking to the journalists saying that we have to i have to move these ideas is it dangerous to stay here ok thank you is it. 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 on the russian team in late january just over a month before the competition starts aunties and associates has the details. here
10:03 am
in london the international paralympic committee today has announced that they are maintaining the suspension of the russian paralympic committee and that they will indeed be announcing their final decision on the future of whether or not the parlin peons from russia are going to be able to compete and in january this leaves the russian athletes really holding their breath until more or less the last minute to find out whether or not they're going to be able to participate in those games another part of this decision announced today has been that they're going to maintain a measure that was implemented earlier in september that in for sports russian athletes are going to be able to qualify in events under neutral flag which is quite important and those sports include cross-country skiing alpine skiing snowboarding and the buy off lawn it has been said that five criteria are still not being met by russia for the russian parliament committee to be reinstated well this
10:04 am
comes just two weeks after the international olympic committee banned russia from participating at the twenty eight winter olympics however team athletes will be allowed to compete under neutral frank well as we heard the final decision about russia's participation in the paralympics will be made in late january just six weeks before the game starts with craig spence from the international paralympic committee doesn't think this late call will affect the athletes. but i think this decision by the first is faster. if anything gives them an opportunity for the russian paralympic committee to me to reinstate crisis here in time. you've got to understand that this is a situation that has been forced upon us the russian paralympic committee was just trying sixty. five criteria to meet the clock is ticking the ball here is very much in the cost of the russian paralympic committee and the russian authorities. and fleet should compete any way they can prove their strength their
10:05 am
righteousness only on a track not in court but in stadiums and sports grounds our guys are being deprived of their dream but some have just one chance some might have another but they've been preparing for the games for them they are a life goal for many guys with disability sport is the only thing they can do and this dream is being taken away one can say their lives are taken away what's going on is just one huge injustice. and there are tears daniel hawkins and alan moore sports host on radio capital f.n. joining me in the studio to discuss the aipcs decision well there were only three options really available to the to the r.p.c. in this case which was lifted by an altogether maintain status quo which is what's happened or perhaps go for a third option of allowing athletes of prove their claim to participate under neutral flag as the doing already but if you look at some of the statements that have come out for the for president phillip craven for example i believe earlier this year is demanding that russia prove not only that their sport is clean but
10:06 am
that their nation is clean we can actually take a listen to that now. about how the russians can. still they got the right policy but sure they are a clean nation never mind cleaned out they are to be a clean nation i mean you can take that to mean what you will but certainly questions are raised what exactly you mean xylem and some of you know the measures that russia have taken happen quite conference in fighting these allegations of doping in terms of a clean nation. this could mean anything by we've got very cheerful weather here in moscow at the moment so it could be that the roads are dirty were just makes no sense whatsoever and i think that mr craven he's been well known to be not a fan of russia so you know if you like clean athletes come from a clean nation if you want sex and that kind of like you know link of your just kind of a leap from one factor of. ten to nation screen one thing i couldn't quite get my
10:07 am
head around with this decision is kind of it's a lack of a decision it's a delay they've made a decision in the i.o.c. the i.o.c. say that ok we have a system here now that we think is what they say it's a presumption of innocence therefore russians who can prove that they can take part in the olympics so one of the paralympics you know this is the greatest event for a minute these people's lives and we know in every society people who completes a sport and partly because. this is one we can be included in society has made his great strides in two weeks who had an ex which basically was the biggest ever gathering of people. who were invalids in russia where they came from all over russia to take part in your work work skills in sports as well you know it started in japan know in russia how it's it was the biggest ever gathering globally so russia's be huge strides to get this inclusive and for people with difficulties whether it be education or physical and they would have been told sorry you're not
10:08 am
good enough final decision as you say. will be in general you know that's just a few weeks before the actual event itself so that the last leads are neither here nor there do we train to be prepared to support it and we will go under a neutral flag or what's going to happen and it's affecting athletes really not only russians themselves because i think a lot about the leaks now as i don't write much in early there on certain of the burden of proof the level of evidence that's required to prove that one is clean. facebook has been accused of abusing its monopoly in germany and of inappropriate collection if you use this data artie's peter or other explains. well this all comes out of a statement from the wonderfully named federal cartel office there the main competition watchdog here in germany they slammed facebook saying that its users have no idea and have given no consent for the levels of data from them which is
10:09 am
being tainted by the social network and that is then being used to target adverts directly on them we're mostly concerned about the collection of data outside facebook's social network and the merging of this data into uses facebook accounts we're not convinced the users have given their effect of consent to facebook's data tracking and merging of data into their facebook account well it also comes as facebook's been accused of being overly intrusive after introducing new facial recognition software that can recognize a person's face even if they haven't been tagged in a picture it's worth noting this investigation is ongoing here in germany by the competition watchdog they say they are looking into how data is obtained but they're more looking into the fact that facebook seems to sit by and what should observe our lives and interests and then gets information that way for facebook's part they say that the federal cartel office have misrepresented them by saying that they dominate the social media remit here in germany as far as facebook
10:10 am
a concerned there are alternatives them if there wasn't alternatives only then would they be dominating it's put across what we are seeing and what we have seen already is sharing data with a third party here in germany is illegal and it's becoming more and more of an issue and more focus falling on social media outlets not just here in germany but across widely europe if we look over in france that's where what's up with the messaging application is facing a fine from the french authorities after they shared their users data with facebook of course if we do remember facebook bought. bought out what's up back in twenty fourteen what we won't expect from this report when it's published in full in the summer is a fine for facebook but what we're hearing from the main competition watchdog here in germany is they're going to tell facebook they need to change the way they go about doing things when it comes to their users personal data or social media

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 is called twitter out as one of the problems with an open internet company usually goes when you can. give your mind service users because both of those. this is not a. good place 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
10:14 am
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 as a fair exercise. assadi led coalition carried out fresh air strikes on the yemeni capital sanaa on wednesday reportedly hitting residential areas. witnesses claim a factory was targeted there have been no reports of casualties and denies targeting civilian areas earlier saudi state t.v.
