. one minute past eight pm here in the russian capital thursday january twenty fifth i'm you know neal this is our t. international our top story president trump is in the swiss resort of davos for the world economic forum he's already spoken to british prime minister trees in may when our team. is there to. after their meeting both donald trump interest in may talked about how wonderful their conversation was how much they appreciated meeting one another and what a wonderful relationship the two countries have with one another donald trump went on to say that he really respects theresa may and that contrary to what some may believe they do have a wonderful relationship. have

a great age. don't really believe that but i mean. that if you. like he showed a lot of that idea that the two countries still have a special relationship comes just weeks after donald trump canceled his visit to the u.k. to open the new u.s. embassy there the president said that he canceled the visit simply because he thought that the deal that was brokered to sell the old embassy was a bad one but many did see that as a bit of a dent in that special relationship donald trump is here at the davos world economic forum with his america first montra most likely going to dominate his speech tomorrow and his meeting with world leaders throughout the next two days now trying to transportation secretary said yesterday that if anyone doesn't like that message they're more than welcome to not let. 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 very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum. and so those that don't want to listen to him you can they can lead you know this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about will have to wait and see if anyone takes her up on that suggestion and does leave during his speech tomorrow now meanwhile we've heard already from across and merkel and they both had sort of europe first message that they were putting out which maybe isn't as nationalist as america for. but it's not globalist either which is a bit strange in the studying of this forum let's take a lesson it isn't gentlemen my my my first missy he said france is back france is back at the call of europe because we will never have any french success is without a european success if between our twenty seven member states we're not able to send

a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united states if foreign policy is made on the national level then we will feel that. and today during teresa mayes speech at the conference she also had similar stuntman's talking about how the u.k. would be one of the best places to open a company or to work on ai a lot of we would be the best country to open new businesses to start new things in the safest country to be on the internet so a lot of that sort of idea of european leaders looking at their own countries in europe as a whole as a leading force but of course we still have the rest of the day and one more day tomorrow of davos and with the what else comes out of it we discuss the upcoming talks with economist field. what do i expect from mr trump's visit to davos dolphin lots of security and police and army also you've got to bear in mind that mr trump is a stable genius as he puts it he likes to be astride the world stage so

i think because the midst of the president of china was the great favorite star at davos last year i think mr trump wants to be the star this year i think that will be a lot of politicians wanting to speak to the gallery mr trump will be wanting to play to his political base over in the state so he wants will want to be seen to be talking tough and in a similar fashion mr mack wrong mrs merkel who's still trying to form a government in germany will also be wanting to be seen to be supporting their national self interest so i suspect we're going to be seeing quite a few fireworks. turkey's foreign minister has hit out at the u.s. saying he doesn't believe washington is a trustworthy partner it comes as tensions escalate between the two nato allies over turkey's offensive against the u.s.

backed kurdish militias in northern syria which ankara described as terrorist groups. or took most of the u.s. hasn't kept any promises mr trump told president on the phone that no more workers will be given to the we're. going to see you go into action. what's your account now joins me live from washington with more details in the sim you're do we know more about what was said in the phone call and indeed why the two leaders spoke at this stage. well tensions between the u.s. and turkey have been escalating ever since the u.s. announced its collaboration with kurdish forces in northern syria and latest attempts to ease the tensions appear to have gone wrong as well and now the turkish foreign minister says that the u.s. has misrepresented what was said in a recent phone call between trouble and aired on president trump relayed concerns

the escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting i shared goals in syria he urged taking to deescalate limit his military actions and avoid civilian casualties. the one time statement about the content of the phone call between trump and i was one was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth well turkey says that trump did not express concern over the so-called escalating violence and it was just an exchange of views now the call comes after encore announced that it would be extending its military operation in syria to the kurdish held city of beach and the operation has been going on for already a week now with casualties and deaths from both sides but neither side appears to be willing to wave a white flag but here is a key quick recap of how the situation looks on the ground.

i . well the situation has been brewing for a while now but it doesn't seem that the u.s. is helping the issue so we're just going to have to see what happens you have potentially a lot of from vacations to the similar can from washington d.c. this hour thank you very much well let's bring in our mcgann from turkey's ruling justice on the developing party to that try and answer some of those queries are very welcome first of all are you able to comment on what was discussed during the leader's phone call in particular did donald trump voice concerns over escalating levels of violence and why is there now this dispute. the speech the speech to that was actually. between two leaders actually made

it was actually clear in the statements of turkey we didn't understand why. u.s. authorities made the statement. in this breach. or minister made it very clear what was discussed and we've been very clear. we've been very clear on this issue since the beginning for restate the g.'s that there is the organization it is not it is not on the benefit or you know it's been a little syrian people to come but the terrorist organization is flourishing in syria well the relations between your two countries they are diminishing it seems at a rapid rate because of this what can the u.s. do to regain turkey's trust then it in your eyes. united states is one of our long long kind of middle lies and it's a nato member and in the relationship we understand that there might be

disagreements but how there were we would like our u.s. consular park to understand the sensitivities of the situation because we are talking about a terrorist organization that kidnap children farms and suicide bombs i mean in last two. months it's been more than seven hundred attacks from the other side of the border to turkey it is now not only a small disagreement it's a nation trip to turkey and we have to take that with a sense of mission as well as we speculate states immunity but all the international yeah sorry for interrupting but of course that there is the argument of course isn't there that if we take a step back and look at this what right does turkey actually have to be invading northern syria and attacking the kurds there especially when they were instrumental in defeating islamic state in that country let me correct that we are not taking kurds in and indeed we are trying to solve we are trying to protect the kurds and

security and chroma terrorist organization that indeed makes the suffering in the atrocities to curt's that first place i mean when we have the have accepted or were over two hundred thousand kurdish refugees from syria there's no escape from why p.g. and i says and we have seen clearly of footage that isis why puji cooperated in some areas of syria and now we are told king about the terrorist organization is no different than isis ok there is a just accept what happens next do you think if the turkish military does head for monday start there is a real threat of confrontation with u.s. troops as had been said. we have made it very clear that our red line is the worst and puttered of you freights and united states p.g.a. even the made it very clear that they will leave room beach is in our up town now

under way pujol completion and we are very clear that is long as the wife could use things and diverse. it's a nation security trip to turkey just like we have taken the necessary measures in our free we would do the same image ok how to ruin our mcgann from the ruling turkish justice and developing party thank you very much for your take this i think in an. eight pakistani doctor who was the key to finding the some of 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 twentieth eleven two american presidents have promised to get him released but it's now been seven years right because the if has more. you can argue dr shaquille afridi helped catch the century's most wanted man the man who did

this. right here right here in. the. sama bin laden you can also argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you are 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 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 bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump you you think. get the doctor out and 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's even upset the

pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump made his boast stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin v. icon 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 do they bring it up once in a while that's what gratitude is worth nowadays we spoke with political analyst java about what the future holds for. us pakistan relations continue to sour so i think there's a question of this of an interview of some snow here it is not the question that i want to read the marquis had the americans in in look at in a somber love and a pakistani establishment see that the it wasn't that on pakistan's intelligence

and the military because that man was not supposed to provide any assistance to the american cia in look at the us army london i don't think pakistan would get whatever country applying to be a dick and release and the reason being is quite simple because. china hasn't rested fifty six billion dollars in this in this one of the prime projects so focused on is not longer financially dependent on americans as it used to be done ten years ago or five years ago you have no longer dependent on american aid we don't need it i think i have believed that funnels on ever listen to the americans when it comes to a different strategic interest. an update on russia's winter olympics i guess right after this stay with our team.

other tax reform bill next year just simplified bringing a flat tax. cut will bring in the fifteen percent tax rate across the board what should be the best possible solution to the. question in the u.s. . you know one of the things we saw in this entire campaign leading up to trump's election was very little discussion of the facts nobody said look you know you may be the smartest person in the world in your area of treating people in the real estate market but when it comes to actually understand economics you have no background i think any you know good economists could possibly have won that election. the press paid attention to the.

minutes into the program you're welcome back russia's olympic committee has condemned the list of its athletes to compete in the winter olympics russia's most prominent sportsmen and women have been excluded the total number of those allowed to go to south korea next month has been reduced from an initial five hundred person squad to one hundred sixty nine athletes the head of the russian committee is demanding justice for the competitors. who will stand for the interests of all it's we are sure they're clean we haven't had any claims in terms of doctrine but the list doesn't include russia smallest prominent athletes. ok let's cross live night or tease me if i'm not who has been following developments on this it does

seem like a never ending saga this doesn't it we've just two weeks away from the opening ceremony maria what does this mean for the russian athletes. well it could be a said news but there is actually no surprise we heard about russia's leading athletes not invited to the games in pyongyang this february several days ago now the country's olympic committee has just confirmed among those who did not receive the official invitation they were hoping to receive it last minute are six time elaine pick champion in short trick skating victor on a cross-country skier said again girlfriend two thousand and fourteen olympic gold medalist in the affluent and torn she pool and here's his reaction. i was shocked by the news i thought of leaving everything behind and returning home it was my dream to compete in the olympics and i was working towards the goal through hundreds and thousands of difficulties through sweat and blood throughout

my sporting career i have never given any one reason to doubt that i'm clean i've even avoided taking ordinary determines that's why it's more difficult for me to accept what's happened i was devastated by grief after receiving this terrible news later on i realized that you should never give up life doesn't and it's important to carry on you should fight to protect your name right to the end earlier in december the international olympic committee bend russia from participating in the upcoming winter olympic games in pyongyang and it followed the investigation over alleged doping allegations and there were several athletes involved dozens of them have been banned from participating disqualified but russia's biggest concern now is that many of those who did not receive the invitation to the games their names never emerged in connection with this candle and it's quite clear what is behind banning them from participating in the olympic games the association of

international olympic winter sports for the ration has already asked the international olympic committee to explain the move. it is very sad if there is no direct proof of guilt the i.b.u. tested human numerous occasions and never tested positive for a banned substance. earlier they had of the international olympic committee has said that the committee wants to invite so-called russia's clean athletes and in such a way somehow encourage new young generation of sportsmen of from country but the biggest concern is that many of those who were not invited are in fact representing these very young a new generation mr barch mentioned and another concern is that they sneeze just two weeks before the games start to it actually means that the chances are very low that sportsmen could fight for their right back to you you know it is definitely

a disappointing day for those are the two are not going to be going after having never doped in their careers maria with the latest on the thing. just a little bit more to update you on the i.o.c. the recently released information on why some russian ark leads have been excluded from the upcoming games they cover seventeen points focusing on alleged violations the reviewed information based on the moscow data base allegations presented in the maclaurin report on alleged tampering with samples sports lawyer lucien vallone so you see it's not following basic legal principles. mclaurin report was was based in the beginning especially on anonymous sources on no documents not provide that icing the zs not fair now they're trying to back it

up with intelligence you see it already did prove that the report as it was used to discredit all athletes was not a proper report in the beginning timing is a little bit problematic because as you know the athletes will have a very short period of time of trying to appeal or correct these decisions which are taken with view to exclude everybody who has the slightest doubt on his record and that is not acceptable because normally if you have to go through a dopping proceeding in in. the normal sports world in the normal proceedings you and. doping authority has to prove ninety nine point nine percent that you are guilty that you have dope but here it is reversed

it if you say the slightest doubt is enough to exclude somebody then you say one percent is enough so that is absolutely unacceptable it's not acceptable and it's legally of course not acceptable. a student in moscow has shared online the gruesome details of him murdering and raping his flatmate before committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned with people describing the man as a promising student from a good family or correspondent trying to went to the heis where they lived and spoke to their neighbors you may find some parts of his report disturbing. this is the area where our entity on our rented their flat together the center of moscow very close to death and the universities where they study they seem to have everything to enjoy their lives in the capital the students who 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 to leave that's the right entrance they lived on the ground floor and one social media post describe everything he did behind these walls on one horrifying winter night it was late had been drinking and went to tiana and heard a room he started punching her the details of what was happening there and the next few hours are far too grisly to go into and this report but it included stabbing rape and necrophilia. after what everyone i guess would call a psychotic frenzy art to 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. 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 mad for this creature with the. clothes on. but one security guard outside agreed to share some details will do still with this most people through the book store. is

a boost with little to the soups let's go with a little just a little some road is the still not to children look at the people in the blue to the pool. for this because your. jealousy and rage have often led to climbs 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 victim's obsession with social media. and even trying to with the report that has all the news for this hour more r t program starts in just a moment and i'm back in half an hour with all the latest mobile updates. greetings and salyut asians. many will tell you that the united states of america

has an immigration problem turn on fox news or any conservative leaning me program and i promise you that at some point some talking head or pundit will blame a multitude of our civic and cultural problems on the supposedly scourge of the illegal immigrants pouring across our i delegate southern border but it's not just a republican issue remember that more immigrants were deported under democratic president barack obama than any other administration in u.s. history so don't feel to write cheap a.n.c. there democrats. don't do you know what i think the real problem is hawk watchers it's not an illegal immigration problem no no. in truth it's a compassion problem take for example the current issues between the faith based humanitarian group death no more in the u.s. border patrol just last week the group issued a damning report on the u.s. border patrols mistreatment of humanitarian aid workers supplies and efforts along

the us mexico border including the destruction of thousands of water bottles left along crossing hotspots to prevent the dehydration and deaths of those undocumented immigrants looking to better their lives the report states these actions call into question the border patrol's own claims to be humanitarian the practice of destruction of and interface with aid is not the deviant behavior of a few ro border patrol agents it is a systemic feature of enforcement practices and a logical extension of the broader strategy of prevention through deterrence. you see that's that's not illegal immigration problem where where is your humanity would you deny your fellow men and women a basic element of life water why do that because a piece of paper saying they're allowed to be here is more important than their own well be. that is

a compassion problem not an immigration problem i want to start watching the hawks . but you get the. real thing. at the bottom. like you know what i got. this. week so. well look at the what are their roles that sometimes have. so tyrrell here we are twenty eighteen twenty or thirty and we're still arguing over immigration in the united states i mean most of our ancestors anybody who's ancestors came here you know at the at the dawn as i was an american and was.
