the. pakistani doctor who was the key to finding osama bin laden looks set to spend the rest of his life in jail pakistan's authorities have accused him of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u.s. operation in may of twenty eleven two u.s. presidents have since promised to get him released but it's now been seven years but it takes up the story. you can argue dr shakil afridi helped catch the century's most wanted man the man who did this. right there in. the. sama bin laden you can also
5:08 am
argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you're from the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome gratitude though has its limits dr afridi set up a fake vaccination program in the area bin laden was hiding in in order to collect his family's d.n.a. and give the cia proof he was there clever shortly after bin laden was eliminated dr afridi was arrested by pakistani intelligence and sentenced to thirty three years he was charged in. two thousand and eleven of being money to the militants that. he was
5:09 am
assisting in medical term that he was making some. news a hospital i met him in. in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal dr afridi was first accused of aiding local militants and then of murdering a patient though how fair those charges is debatable a bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump you you think. you get a doctor out yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and i'm sure they'd let him out it didn't fly it even upset the pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump made his both stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin laden
5:10 am
v i call of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and have clearly communicated our position to pakistan on dr afridi's case both in public and in private and the us well they bring it up once in a while that's what gratitude is worth nowadays i was murdered gassed you have we spoke to former cia officer fit to around the he doesn't see washington making any real effort to free the dr. i was in intelligence officer when people are caught spying for another country. that country does not like to let them freeze so it's it's actually something that trump did not understand if the pakistanis. enter into some kind of discussion and trump feels that he can be generous or or do
5:11 am
something that world will enable this man to get free then he might do it but i don't know what that would be of what the circumstances would be they are already having serious discussions about. the money that the united states gives of pakistan the united states has been suspending some of that money and not giving it to them so the pakistanis are not are not interested in doing any favors for washington i think that is very clear. a student in moscow has shared online the gruesome details of him murdering and raping his flatmates before committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned with people describing the man as a promising student from a good family a correspondent went to the house where they lived and spoke to their neighbors you might find some parts of his report disturbing. this is the area where art and its yacht rented their flat together the fetter of moscow very close together in the
5:12 am
universities where they study they seem to have everything to enjoy their lives in the capital. the students were once in a relationship but after breaking up they continued to share a flat in the building right there it turned out to be unbearable for art. i believe that's the right entrance they lived on the ground floor and one social media post described everything he did behind these walls on one horrifying winter night. it was late art he had been drinking when to tianna and heard
5:13 am
a room he started punching the details of what was happening there and the next few hours are far too grisly to go into in this report but it included stabbing and rape and necrophilia. after what everyone i guess would call a psychotic frenzy art show hang himself this is the entrance to their flat with a police notice but this shouldn't be the most challenging investigation for the authorities the couple's whole lives were out there on their social media accounts for everyone to see and art films very long suicide note that he posted on his account was a full description of what happened that night where he explained his motivation.
5:14 am
this is a very small section of the building with very few apartments and none of the neighbors here agreed to talk to us i was made for this creature with a. little money. but once a curate a guard outside agreed to share some details lucille with this most people sweep the biblical story. is a little boost a little bit this looks a little to good little to some old is the soul not to children look at the people in the glow of the ripple. for this beautiful. jealousy had rage have often led to qualms of passion we've seen it in movies read about it in books but seldom before have we experienced it so vividly thanks to the killer of the victims of sessions with social media.
5:15 am
the u.s. president has arrived in switzerland for the proclaimed biggest economic forum in davos these are the latest pictures from for a calf or bad old from touchdown in the last hour or so many a surprise that he is attending the event in the luxury resort of davos where the u.s. president will promote his famous mantra america first u.s. transportation secretary gave this response today's questioning from the parents. america first is a continuation of the american affirmation of american exceptionalism so i don't think well i think this you know all these questions are why the president is coming and again i think feel very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum. for those that don't want to listen to him. you can they can leave you know this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about earlier this week
5:16 am
thousands of people did march through the streets i'm sure it to deny visit to switzerland and also the anti gathering at the u.s. president is expected to be met with huge protests in davos two itself which was called for peace the day despite a ban that from local authorities. international still to come for you this hour german judge has been criticised for removing a crucifix from his courtroom to show really just tolerance we'll tell you why in a couple of minutes.
5:17 am
you should. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be. that you want to be that's what the full story of all people are. interested always in the waters of our. friendship. welcome back with r.t. now the in an international olympics committee chief says that russian athletes will be banned from the upcoming winter olympics in south korea for even the
5:18 am
slightest suspicion that they have been doping the i.o.c. wanted to give clean russian athletes the opportunity to participate and give the young the new generation of clean russian athletes the opportunity to be at the olympic games and be ambassadors for a new clean russian sport there could be suspicion there could even be an ongoing procedure there could be many factors which did not lead to the satisfaction of the panel the purpose is to invite clean russian athletes for which this panel is certain and has not the slightest doubt or suspicion. the move does come in response to accusations of widespread doping in russia dating back to the twenty fourteen sochi winter games and a comprehensive list of who can go to pyongyang will be published at the weekend but it is thought that team russia will be slashed by around a fifth the just something like under four hundred athletes though set to miss out do include russia's next generation of athletes and also more stably stars team
5:19 am
like the biathlete and french pilin and the speed skater victor on neither have ever tested positive for banned substances and the situation team russia is facing has received criticism from around the world. i'm against the fact that athletes my colleagues who if works for ages to participate in this huge forum would be punished as well in my opinion that's politics those who are involved must be punished but you cannot point a finger at the whole country i believe that some weren't involved but they're being tarred with the same brush. sport should not be used as a tool for politicians. games should be a celebration for the sporting world and for the athletes who have worked so hard for this event and done nothing wrong sport to do night people with russia should be sanctioned of the allegations were proven as anyone should but there is no country that has never been guilty of doping the north americans in lecturing the rest of the world where we have not forgotten where lance armstrong came from open
5:20 am
johnson up of of all those russian athletes who are going to go to the lympics who are participating under a neutral flag and not a russian one we did speak exclusively to the swedish ice hockey star under skeleton also the canadian coach scott person for their views on clean russian athletes being sidelined. i think it's awful i think russia should go with the best team because they have the best hockey players out side the show and it's going to be sad for the tournament but the best russian is not tom i think they 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 culture because everybody knows who you know the great figure skaters are so at
5:21 am
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 in 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 let you know i mean it's really unfortunately politics seems to be slipping into athletics and i just really not that. the german judge has caused outrage at a trial in bavaria for a new thing a crucifix from his courtroom at the request of an asylum seeker the afghan man is suspected of threatening to kill a fellow countryman for converting to christianity peter oliver has more details. this judge in the bavarian alps has found himself in the eye of a storm that's after he ordered that a crucifix be removed from his courtroom during the trial of an afghan asylum up
5:22 am
look and accused of trying to kill another afghan convert it to christianity it's a move it's called for in the strongly catholic state as well as in german tabloid media the judge says he made the move in order to show religious tolerance how can i educate the defendant to move away from his beliefs he thinks jihad exists between christians and islamists and so i did not think it wise to condemn him under the cross i do not care if there is a cross or not when the judge addressed this issue in court i just don't really understand the problem bosses in the bavarian ministry of justice say this should never have been an issue in the first place the presence of crosses in courtrooms does not prevent the state from up holding religious and ideological neutrality. religious rights for christine converts in germany is a hot issue particularly in places like my eyes back the toll on the border with
5:23 am
austria is where many refugees and migrants either arrived or at least passed through in twenty fifteen and the move by judge schmidt has prompted a ferocious backlash on social media dear bavarian people this is a slap in the face of all christians do you still want to trample on your christian will lose the right judges who have me at a loss for words such an irony in the trial of afghan islamists judge class you're against me it takes crust offense from the war of the courtroom the sophisticated islamization in this country continues judge close european schmidt are you insane such a disgrace this story comes as the trial of a different failed asylum applicant from afghanistan is underway in a nearby town in southern germany in that case a thirty eight year old woman was brutally stabbed to death in front of her small children the prosecution say that the motive behind the killing was that she had converted to christianity the trial is expected to continue for several more days
5:24 am
peter all over our berlin. now the pentagon's draft of the upcoming u.s. nuclear policy review has been leaked and his reports have already suggested it does appear to confirm a reversal in strategy for the coming year america looks set to expand its nuclear capabilities and experts to say it could make the idea of using the weapons a lot easier changes will be made to submarine missiles which will be reconfigured and nuclear tests could also be resumed while the modernization of the u.s. nuclear arsenal focus on smaller weapons but the former head of national nuclear security does question whether washington can afford it. we are working pretty much at full capacity we've never done more than one life extension program at a time since the end of the cold war we're now doing essentially for. the leak review outlining u.s. intentions to update and upgrade its nuclear weapons has been criticised many of
5:25 am
highlighted donald trump's nuclear button rather with the north korean leader as an example of the possible dangers a nuclear studies director peter because nick does think that the modernization will actually increase the possibility of military conflict. my main fear is that they're going to carry out these modernization programs within the context of the modernization yes the faster they do it the sloppier it becomes and the more dangerous it becomes so we're concerned about nuclear safety but we're but even if though there is no concern about nuclear safety the fact that we have these new modernized weapons means that the threat of nuclear war increases increases exponentially. ok let's just get an update now on that story from mr lee today that train crash where a commuter train has derailed near the city of my land during rush hour it's been reported that at least five people have been killed while several others to remain in a critical condition more than one hundred people suffered minor injuries in this crash
