since two thousand and fourteen and dozens more in recent months control is carried out abroad controls carried out by independent bodies by federations and analyzed throughout europe never in russia the result over the last four years a biathlete has never tested positive. point in the is a by athlete who brought a gold home from sochi and he and his team mates. or leaders of team russia and were both two main hopefuls for winning medals and south korea as well now they're both world champions and in all of their years competing neither has ever tested positive for doping and that's one of the reason the the decision as an injustice the tone of this editorial will not please everyone that's obvious but there are still questions about the integrity of the decision makers since when can we condemn innocent sportsmen to punish the guilty is obvious to ban the russians that don't for the rest know the i was he has promised to publish the full list of eligible athletes on sunday just under two weeks before the start of the games

leaving an appeal unlikely and that means that a number of russian athletes who are still reeling from the fact that they will not be able to compete under their own flag will now be hit with another blow others said to be excluded from the list are prominent hockey players and figure skaters again all of whom have never tested positive for doping and yet they will not be forced to watch the games from the sidelines with forty three other other teammates who have been hit by bans earlier and another gold medalist who is also thought to be excluded is speed skater victor that he thought korean by birth which means that his dreams of competing in his home country are looking rather dim at this point and while condemnation of the decision has continued to flow in that unlikely to change the i.o.c. is mind. well a number of international as well as the heads of the committees have condemned the bombing about never tested positive for substances this is the head of the. olympic committee who says everyone who breaks the rules must be punished but that the measures taken again. russian athletes have been politically motivated no one

french by athlete has also said he believes the finger is being unfairly pointed the entire country and the international by athlone union heads this is that statement has claimed the organization has not been involved into the station making process where russian athletes from seven different disciplines are said to be missing from the list of eligible competitors including five prominent russian short track speed skaters three buy after launch on pins and a two time world champion cross country skier none have ever tested positive for doping also a number of russian ice hockey players bald slayer's figure skater she didn't even participate in the twenty fourteen olympic games are also missing from the list of those eligible to go some sports unions and federations have already demanded that the i.o.c. clarify its the situation while a i.o.c. head has claimed it wants to give way to

a quote new clean generation. the wanted to give clean russian athletes the opportunity to participate and give a young and new generation of clean russian athletes the opportunity to be at the olympic games and be ambassadors for a new clean russian sport. well we asked former sweden player carlson and hockey coach scotty mcpherson for their views on the exclusion of clean russian athletes i think it's awful i think russia should go with the best team because they have the best hockey players outside the show and it's going to be sad for the tournament but the best russian is not tom i don't think the have to be able to do it a little older so they don't affect us like three four weeks before the olympics so it's a big. might think it's somewhat misguided in that i think most of the players on the russian olympic team or the athletes from russia team that are going to be in korea they weren't even in the last olympics everybody knows really

a cultural joke as everybody knows who you know the great figure skaters are so at the end of the day you know if the russians win in hockey or if an individual figure skater or somebody wins they know who they are and everyone knows who they are and they appreciate them as athletes and you know all the hard work and sacrifice that they've made to be able to compete at the olympic level the players that are on the russian team are guys that we played against from the time we were little kids we know that they're clean that you know i mean it's really unfortunately politics seems to be slipping into athletics and that's really not that it more a sociology professor to us than university in the u.k. meanwhile say russian history is ongoing and time is running out for the athletes to appeal. b. a limb pick tournament itself is an invitation only event and that means that the organizers have the power to exclude nations or individuals willy nilly they can

do it as they please there is some kind of attempt to ostracize russia russia is the bad guy of sport at the moment has been for the past twelve eighteen months we know that it isn't getting a fair shake we haven't seen evidence to support these allegations that there is state sponsored doping but the world or most of the world at least seems to have accepted that there is some kind of systematic doping going on in russia because of that reason i think that anyone who is associated with russia is automatically lumped together with a nation that is collectively guilty of doping which is not to say of course that the rest of the world isn't taking dope. to enhance their performances in sport because i think every other country is participating in some kind of doping but the point is that russia has been stuck with that label and that stigma is going to be awfully difficult to erase in the years to come the closer it gets to the the start

date with a couple of weeks away now of course the more difficult it is to appeal this decision it's going to be too late to go to the court of arbitration for sport it's unlikely to get a favorable decision from that court so in other words they've excluded them in the full knowledge that they won't be there in in korea to compete. moving on now the u.s. government's aid chief sees the scale of destruction in the syrian city of iraq is almost beyond description however so far washington seems reluctant to pay for the rebuilding of the city which was left in ruins by the u.s. bombing campaign with the details right because the. the end justifies the means they say some things no matter how horrible just have to be done because they're hard core finances they have to be rooted out this is an ugly business but it is necessary business it's only after when the dust settles and you see what you've

done that you start having second thoughts this is when you say damn what did i just do the devastation goes back as far as you can see it is almost beyond description how deep the damage is as many as a thousand strikes a month on record alone just strikes not including hillary tags and all that more than eighty percent of the city was deemed unfit to be in by the un and city hall but raised so let's start with the obvious incredible work has to be done just to get people back into their homes except we won't pay here's the disclaimer stabilisation not reconstruction the us will help fix the pipes but someone else is going to have to sort out the rest of this mess no sir the coalition freed you you do the rest we humanity ariens including the un do not have access

to iraq a city because of the presence of explosive hazard contamination which is endangering people trying to return to iraq a city and it's also endangering humanitarian access over two hundred people have died while trying to return to their homes and hundreds more have been injured from our understanding of the reports that we have only a limited number of neighborhoods in iraq a city has been cleared and that's mainly in the outskirts. so who is going to pay to rebuild an entire city the guys who helped the straw it say they won't the civilians returning from tents in refugee camps the syrian government which doesn't even control raca who. hear sense of back to the future next biggest top u.s. democrats are claiming that russian bots are once again attempting to manipulate

public opinion this time by amplifying calls for the release of a potentially explosive congressional memo on social media europe open as more. well according to the democrats there is yet another russian conspiracy against the american way of life now this is all regarding the hashtag release the memo there is a memo that has been seen by top republican leaders that purportedly had allegedly shows that misconduct by the f.b.i. in their investigation of trump in russia and possibly spying on donald trump now there has been a huge call on social media for this memo to be released and now the democrats say that this is a kremlin plot and they are calling on facebook and twitter to reveal the role of the russian boxer in allegedly promoting this hash tag release the memo we are witnessing and doing it by the russian government through kremlin linked social media actress directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process we

urge your companies to need to take necessary steps to expose india to counts involved in this influence operation now how do they know that it's russia that's to blame for this social media upsurge well all of the citations in their letter is simply media reports that are rather unsubstantiated now what's particularly interesting is that this cash tag released the memo it was started by top republican leaders who saw the memo called it job dropping were outraged by its content and demanded that the american people be aware of how the f.b.i. was conducting its work i had that same shock feeling i was like wait a minute this actually happened from our justice department and this f.b.i. that's how serious this is there has been a real attempt to undermine this president that is the type of information that we need all americans to see immediately the american people deserve. they must say they want to know what's in this document sadly much of the mainstream media will

not be covering this today but in this house on this day let us know that indeed we are. still one nation under god and willing to protect life now they hash tag release the memo originated with top republican leaders concerned about the activities of the f.b.i. and now it's been taken up by millions of americans however it looks like the democratic party which seems to be quite concerned about the calls to release the memo is falling back on their old canard russia did it. though if someone asks where are you from would you be offended well not very question has stirred debate about racism after a social media campaign was launched in sweden expanding more on the society. well from sounds like an innocent enough question doesn't it but it could land you in trouble here's what i actually had to explain that i first need to tell you about

an online campaign launched in sweden to help expose racism hash tag no stranger we hope to raise awareness regarding the extensive issue of racism that actually does exist in sweden although many want to believe that we live in the world's most tolerant country they are dearest shakespearean says of being subjected to racism and tens out asking why are you from rep some people up the wrong way even though i was born here people always ask me where i'm from i hate it when they do that nobody put on a decide where my home is where i come from doesn't concern you and it shouldn't matter i say shouldn't we ever ask people about their country of origin to be on the safe side.

well here's some advice from a man behind the hashtag no stranger campaign you can also question just make sure you do it right it's ok to wonder about someone's country of origin but it should not be the very first thing to ask a stranger about because the reaction that follows is usually very stereotypical and racist like oh you're from viet nam i think it's quite terrible that you guys eat dogs. so its name first originated and no follow up questions got it. now at least two people have been killed dozens more injured in the afghan city of jalalabad a suicide attacker detonated a car bomb at the office of the humanitarian group c. the children reportedly up to fifty people were in the building at the time save the children has now announced it's temporarily shutting down work in afghanistan

and according to afghan media eisel has the same responsibility for the attack this is how witnesses describe the assault. the sound of gunfire then a very big explosion took place i think it was a car bomb there were several other explosions and more gunfire. i'm a short people who first i heard gunfire when a car bomb exploded and suicide attackers came. in this area several residents were brutally killed the situation was very proud. it does look as if that situation concerning security is worsening in afghanistan and without in mind the u.s. is increasing the number of combat earth craft that it has in the side of the country according to a nato press release washington wants to step up efforts to cripple taliban control infrastructure and cut off the fundamentalist movements revenue streams it's estimated that the taliban effectively controls around forty percent of afghanistan

and on sunday it was behind an attack on a luxury hotel in the capital of left at least twenty two dead so they call our list muslim believes that there will be no stability in the country until the u.s. actually withdraws. present carries out of hand offers government as a valid criticize saying you are dominance and they are in afghanistan at all and there is no chance are there is no hope to be a stable afghanistan under the don't insaaf united states the big question is why it day by day the situation is going to three day by day the afghan people has become hopeless if the united states is couldn't defeat i.a.s. or taliban in the country so they should confess that. saudi arabians are at the forefront of the gulf states corruption crackdown dozens have been detained at the ritz carlton hotel in riyadh however all criminal proceedings may be dropped if they agree to pay

a hefty sum for their liberty. well

talks with those suspected of corruption were expected to end this month with half of the detainees already agreeing to pick up the top local media are reporting about almost one hundred of those figures who didn't pay up will soon be referred to the public prosecution for a trial and that's something we'll be keeping a close eye on in the coming days but more updates by the minutes quite three on our twitter page don't miss a thing more arty programs though straight ahead and i'll see you in thirty. six.

what was telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks was new to fight the battle they're going. to stop by to tell you that every gossip they have like i felt it was. the mouth advertising telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks are we a lawyer or you were walking at. night . and. like so many who tumbled into the world events depressants without forethought david carmichael did so unaware of the potential dangers when i was on paxil we had

no idea the trigger delusions or none of that was out in the public domain for so many years you just assume my doctor knew best and on about the side effects hardware it's like i can't just immediately i'm too busy worrying when everything happened and i had just finished a date for my friends who knew my father they just knew that something was wrong because they knew who my dad wise and you just would never in a million years think that he would do something that he did. currently was a high priority of mine to be the best parent possible. kharab and this was brooks. they become michael had been on sixty milligrams of paxil for two weeks when he set out for one of their favorite father son activities a b.m.x.

bike competition in london ontario. yeah. what i've learned in this journey is i no longer take for granted even one breath. things get reduced to the minutes and he you know that you have the strength for that minute it's. actually. have. a place they are then and i were friends in college we're both a county majors david was that funny brilliant guy the choice one in your group david was a guy you'd want to be around it's that's about the us i explained when you met him it was good there is he was open he was funny was very witty my dad was a very caring father. very funny too it wake me up in the morning singing whatever group i was into at the time it was spice girls when i was little it's

a brilliant auditor auditing for a major corporation is stressful and there's a lot of things that go with that if you want to do the right thing david was a guy who like any of us had his share of challenges in life we all did we went to the psychiatrist in early two thousand and six and he said well what about prozac you have a chemical imbalance let's put you on prozac it's the standard of care it's what they do it's almost a marketing strategy that works you know if. i have a disease within days of ingesting prozac david crespi became troubled towards the end of just talking back and forth he said do you ever feel like life is too dark to go on it's crazy it's not the way i think those thoughts are natural to me i recall a few events from the day before that would suggest that he was going psychotic

david was jumping out of the bed and walking around a throw rug and hitting each corner and then jumping back into bed and i'm going what are you doing is it just feels good well now i attribute that to act these e r . the tragedy was january twentieth two thousand and six on that day took all the kids to school left to go get my hair cut left the girls in the care of their loving father they when is to spend time with and when i came back into the neighborhood after being gone for an hour and fifteen minutes i saw a police barricade and i saw some of my very concerned neighbors coming towards me the police officer asked my name and he said we're going to need you in this house . so much. i called my dad in california and i made sure my step mom was right next to him and i said you know dad i have to tell you something really hard i said i'm in the back

of a police car and i've just been told that david killed sam tell us what he did you . know how many can stab. a family if you're a little bit. i know i know it's real therefore i be very down the way i. adored salman tassel as we all did started wailing and i could hear her on speaker phone and my dad goes honey dave not to you that david is not like that you are mistaken and i wish i were but i am in the back of a squad car. crespi children were spotted from the police and were told nothing until kim arrived at the station they really thought that their dad had killed. my mom came in and told us that they're telling me that your dad killed your sisters we had to use the language they're telling me

because we couldn't believe that's what actually happened. the idea of him killing doesn't sam was so foreign but they knew something had happened and that's how the whole thing started i went to the doctor and i can remember saying i'm afraid i may heard someone or she said your compact too compassionate to do that that's just the depression talking never was anybody ever saying the medicine could do this psychosis the drug killed our daughters he. was his gellatly altered my dad in his right mind when you have done anything like this i can remember this dialogue these thoughts are real because when you have a complete psychotic break like that and you kill two of your most treasured people in your life people that every other day every other day he would have died for them what i did was done on a cocktail of illegal drugs we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were

being responsible just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. and for all of that we're serving to back to back life sentences. july thirty first two thousand and four i had been on paxil for three weeks and took me into a hotel room in london ontario and at three o'clock in the morning thinking that he had permanent brain damage that he was living hell he was going to kill my daughter julian he was going to harm other kids and my wife was going to risk it down which were my five delusions i strangle them and i sat with his body for six hours until i called the police in one o'clock in the morning very calmly saying that i had committed homicide and opened the door for them and then i was arrested and charged first degree murder when the police came in and arrested me and asked me why didn't i run i said i want to stay with my son is in

a better place now he was living how and i stay with him as long as possible. for fourteen long days david carr michael was psychotic and suffered drug withdrawals in his jail cell before awakening to the ultimate tera psychosis lasted for two weeks and african my psychosis a couple weeks after everything happened i was devastated i cried for three days in segregation the london middlesex attention center i cannot believe what i had ian was laid to rest by david's family it would be months before d.n.a. tests indicated that carmichael's body was unable to metabolize the paxil he did jested and that the drug was the likely cause of this unthinkable act dr peter bergen says he's seen it all before nenni people do not have the a ray of enzymes in their livers to properly destroy s.s.r.i. drugs when they get no bloodstream so the judge pairs the liver and they don't get

quote metabolized me they don't get broken down so you might get the equivalent of a ten milligram dose of an s.s.r.i. but your blood level is thirty or forty and there are studies out of australia correlating the violence with the lack of the enzyme for these drugs the public has no understanding of how part or other as a society trigger homicidal psychotic episode and they may not care now but there is evidence based on d.n.a. their past what did cause me to kill my son. and it's something that i have to live with and i want to mourn the power you know my stigma or is after church a pretty thing around met loans us. and people beat me up emotionally when i'm out there that's why they'll never be me up as much as a beat myself up for life for her part jillian who was only fourteen when the tragedy occurred says she grew up the day she grasped what it really happened to

her father i realized who he was before who he was during the period of time that he was taking medication. and i realize it was two different people david credits julian is the reason he did not take his own life while in prison there were several times or i was either in jail or in a psychiatric hospital where i related to my own life what kept me going was my daughter julia said one line and it was i'm a good dad i'm going to be a dad again and that was my hope and you know joy in whatever she was doing wherever she was was thinking that she wanted her dad back in her life to how can i not accept him back you you know he's an amazing man he's my father and i love him david carmichael was found not criminally responsible for his son's death as two psychiatrists one working for the defense and one for the prosecution both agreed that he was psychotic at the time of the tragedy i was like to care about this another he is the empathy for me but i think you know when i tell you what i. yeah

the pain will never go away ian was just an amazing person and he was an amazing brother and he was an amazing friend and amazing son he just he had so much life you know. sorry. by two thousand and four the british government had virtually banned s.s. all rise for children and young adults in light of the real risk of suicide and violence but in america the us f.d.a. remained unconvinced and demanded more studies for over twenty years thomas was head of f.d.a. psychopharmacology division and had been in the sick of the s.s.r.i. controversy since well before the one nine hundred ninety one prozac hearings lockring left f.d.a. in two thousand and twelve and started

a new business dedicated to helping drug companies get f.d.a. approval for their drugs but he was not alone at the intersection of public service and personal profit i do not find from the evidence today that there is credible evidence to support a conclusion that an ide to present drugs cause the emergence and or the intensification of suicidality and or other violent behaviors when dr daniel casey resurfaced nine years after the one thousand nine hundred one prozac hearings he chad he did so as a paid expert witness for pfizer attorney andy victory conducted the deposition you were the chairman of that committee for several years right yes the chairman of that committee who is moderating it in a public building in a public place was wearing a bulletproof vest dr casey did you wear a bulletproof vest at that meeting yes. i did you ever wore one part of that well have you ever worn one set you know because either one of the family members of the
