yeah you see 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 we ask former sweden hockey center anders karlsson and canadian hockey coach scott macpherson for their views on the exclusion of cancun 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 think have to be able to do it a little older so they aren't affected just like three four weeks before the olympics so it's a big. might think it's somewhat misguided and 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 culture because 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 yeah i mean it's really unfortunately politics seems to be slipping into athletics and that's really not that. cashmore sociology professor at aston university in the u.k. says band athletes have not been given enough time 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 that 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 have 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. for the u.s. government aid chief says the scale of the scripps structure in in the syrian city of raka 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. has commentary. the end justifies the means they say some things no matter how horrible just have to be done these are 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. 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 even by the un as 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 is 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 time a nation 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 rocca who us democrats are demanding an investigation into alleged russian bots that story and more still to come you're watching our two international.

well the back of this is r t international top u.s. democrats are claiming russia is behind an online campaign to release a classified republican memo the document is believed to discredit the f.b.i. probe into a lead to russian meddling art and has 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 now the democrats say that this is a kremlin plot and they are calling on facebook and twitter to reveal the role of russian bots are in allegedly promoting this hash tag release the memo we are witnessing in and doing it by the russian government through kremlin linked social media actors 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 the citations in their letter is simply media reports that are rather unsubstantiated now what's particularly interesting is that this cast tag release 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 kind of 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 willing to protect life now the 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. meanwhile americans on

twitter have launched a new hash tag not a russian bond campaigners have been tweeting that they are in fact a real people and not working for the kremlin former cia officer philip giraldi believes that the memo should be released. it should be made public and if it's true as some republicans are saying that this four page document will prove that there was no russia gate that most of what took place was a conspiracy by the cia and f.b.i. to destroy the trump presidency that it is very important that it become public what russia did in twenty sixteen and is doing possibly this year is very very small compared to all the other things that the political parties in the united states have been doing to themselves so blaming russia is very convenient but the

fact is i am skeptical that what russia has been doing had in the real impact on these developments. asking a wary person is from might be considered normal in most countries but in sweden that question has become a surprising source of controversy and you just have to be explained. well from sounds like an innocent enough question doesn't it but it could land you in trouble here's why actually 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 had a wrist shakespearean sense of being subjected to racism and ten south 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 are you 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 it's named fast origin night and no follow up questions got to. islamic state terrorists have stormed a save the children office in afghanistan killing at least five people and injuring dozens more a suicide bomber blew up a car outside the humanitarian groups office in jalalabad the gunman then entered the building leading to a ten hour siege in which the terrorists were killed following the attack save the children has suspected its work suspended its work in afghanistan this is how witnesses described the assault. first i had 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 sure people here first i heard gunfire when a car bomb exploded and suicide attackers came. in this area several residents were

brutally killed the situation is very bright. with the security situation worsening in afghanistan the u.s. is increasing the number of combat aircraft it has in the south of the country according to a nato press release washington wants to step up efforts to cripple taliban controlled infrastructure and cut off the funding the mentalist movements revenue streams it is estimated that the taliban effectively controls around forty percent of afghanistan and on sunday it was behind an attack on a luxury hotel in kabul that left at least twenty two dead political analyst muslim . believes that there is there will be no stability in the country until the u.s. actually withdraws. present carries out of the hand of his government as a valve you criticize it saying you are dominance and not in afghanistan at all and there is no chance are there is no hope to be at

a stable afghanistan under the dominance off 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 talabani the country so they should confess that does it for me i'll be back in thirty five minutes with the full of international. law makers manufactured sense of public wealth. when the ruling class is protected. themselves. in the final merry go round listen to the one percent. nine week old middle of the room six. million more you don't need to.

pay everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and intervene to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru well he's a little bit different i'm not. going to find i know no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american tell each. other quite for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides.

football 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 just kill you narrowness and spending student twenty million album fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so will transfer. and thinks it's going to. i've had to really negotiate that memory over and over and over again.

and again water can scream in. the summer after i turned eight. never really knew what to expect from. during a particularly bad swing she went through survived desperate days there and she put us all in the bronco and to go down to the river. before we got to the river she was just. she decided it was time for. my memories a moment we're really quite. sure that i ever really met my mom again after.

strange story out of florida this morning where the mother of three children drove into the ocean off her daytona beach. the pregnant mom spoke of demons before driving into the atlantic. police say they've never seen anything like this. the tiny city of newburgh new york is trying to come to grips with the deaths of three young children who died when their mother drove them into the hudson river among the victims are two year old lance peer and his a loving month old sister caps we should take nothing for granted not our loves nor our lives our families or friends even a sanity one minute all is well the next we're plunged into darkness unable to process what is real and what is mercury's. autumn stringin realized this

old too young was the summer after i turned eight she should not be in line and she knows it was the moment. that shattered trust. you know how do you know how to trust anybody after that. forced to confront a mystery beyond comprehension she spent decades haunted in search of answers in pursuit of peace when something like killing all six of her children. made sense enough to put the kids in the bronco and drive into the river i see it. gravels it again water flying and kids screaming and somehow she managed to dig it up to back out of that. and that's an incredible victory for somebody in

that state of mind you know there are other mothers don't win that battle. autumn's mom did eventually die by suicide alone on a country tony steph and was now we're done with. children. i'm laying in bed at night in my room listening to a houseful of morning. just shattered the whole family just shattered the children shattered me it has become so commonplace these irrational acts and horrific scenes that we've almost become numb to it we've seen them in schools and public spaces in homes and churches. all over the news try as we might to understand them we can't try as we might to ignore them they call to us still we called the paramedics. they tried the roughly the reviver. outside their about the station but. because your poor body was cold it's two thousand and four and the downings world

has just been shattered his daughter a victim of an unimaginable act of violence but it was how this eleven year old girl died the truly horrified the world how cats candace hanged herself when canisters star and we just we asked ourselves how could we not know she was than unhappy the downings didn't realize it at the time of course but her case was not a rare event no candace was far from alone she started on this drug somewhere around january and these things make you unafraid they make you do things you wouldn't do normally they make you able to put a rope around your neck and hang yourself. they were still dizzy from death traumatized and broken when they solve the mystery the drugs responsible they say

a cold s s r i's and they're among the best selling drugs in the world s s r i's better known as antidepressants these are some symptoms of the primary psychiatric drugs like assess our eyes have been defended with religious zeal by their believes and damned by others as some of the most dangerous drugs on the planet distinguishing truth from fiction has been a challenge and this is placed the public in the an enviable position of deconstructing the scientific and medical dog on their own in the midst of a thirty s. social experiment as director of the national institutes of mental health thomas insel has been at the center of a storm of contradictions about the use of these drugs so i think we have to be very humble about this right now because we've often been so self-congratulatory because we have after all many people feel made great strides. the numbers don't really support that dr insoles candor is sure to shock upset many on all sides of

the debate the word failure is one few have dad to utter fundamentally why we failed here why has the suicide rate not come down why have as they measures disability whatever those might be why have those continued to go up instead of down well all the numbers are going in the wrong direction so we're already failed what's gone wrong here a lot of people say it's because of stigma and access the fact is that actually more people are getting more treatment than ever before so it's hard for me to poit believe that i would just submit that from the end i am age perspective. the answer about why we failed is a little more disruptive and that answer is that we don't know enough to hear the director of the end i am h. say now that all of the axle taishan is about psychotropics. from the media from academia from the profession from governments were not merited is unsettling after

billions of prescriptions and hundreds of billions of dollars in drug company profits how did this occur i think that our field has gone off track here by devoting so much of its resources over the last twenty or thirty years both publicly and privately to under trying to understand how the drugs work but you've got medications here that at most reduce some of the symptoms of mood disorders of psychotic disorders they don't in any sense provide a cure this change of heart contradicts what we've been told about psychiatric drugs for a generation now and raises serious questions about how and why these drugs have been dispensed so indiscriminately using antidepressants or any of the psychiatric drugs is simply not it's not understood is not explained it's not do well to ponder i think they're in a different class of drugs from most of the drugs that we take for our other

elements in the eighty's and ninety's s.-s. our eyes were the first in a class of new mental health potions heralded as wonder drugs and miracle curious they were extolled as safe and effective solutions for the age old problem of depression and were marketed as such thus began an aggressive march towards a new era in psychiatry one which boasted chemicals for the mental health conditions the dog to mankind for millennia thirty years later however the window on that era and its bold proclamations appears to be closing if in the immediate it can make a huge difference you could have someone going from being psychotic to being non-psychotic which is a pretty amazing change in behavior. but i think what we we need to recognize has that happened or last fifty years is that they haven't. sound to be as good as we thought they were. while the drug companies ruthlessly defended their magic bullets

in the courts and through the press they were in effect stigmatizing people who were harmed by using them in the early one nine hundred ninety s. this issue had reached a peak was prozac causing violence and suicide but what happened was that there psychopharmacology committee almost everybody on the committee worked for the drug companies so the conflicts of interest was so enormous that the f.d.a. had to give them all letters for giving them with their conflicts of interest they can be sued it was a manner of how do we cover it up how do we hide it at every step of the process towards approval and marketing thereafter was designed to hide and mislead the public and physicians about the suicide side effect lilly's own secret files implicate the f.d.a. poorly by robert temple and thomas as being complicit in a scheme to whitewash the dark facts about prozac. has been called the house that the president before the drug was introduced clearly reported earnings of six

hundred million dollars annually for prozac changeless fortune and the company banked at least twenty one billion dollars in profits from the drug over the life of the patent. head. when i say to some people prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in our society that seems to be the dividing line for some people who already know what's true or have read about it understand it and then there's others who think of that's a myth that can't be true they simply can't conceive of that so they stop listening terence young is a member of parliament in canada serving oakville ontario just outside of toronto after a prescription drug caused the death of his daughter vanessa he founded an advocacy group drug safety canada vanessa collapsed in front of me her heart had stopped basically she said. it up to go upstairs when you lose a child your world is upside down and i was thrown into

a study of medicine of medical jargon of how the health care system works and when it doesn't work and i didn't ask for it but it was my way of dealing with the loss of an s. or so it was in a sense my way of grieving and it started the day she died for five years young investigated the practices of the medic on drug industries and in doing so he says he realized have pharmacy influence had permeated every construct of modern society the loss of his daughter coupled with the shocking truth see uncovered through his medical research led him to write death by prescription and become one of canada's most od and proponents of informed choice. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your

last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words and 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 breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. but rather the spare horses. are all over the.
