turkey's top diplomat accuses the us of failing to keep promises as turkish forces again american backed kurdish militia you know to. try to meet with the prime ministers of the u.k. and israel on his first day at the world economic forum and down. the russian olympic committee slams the i.o.c. for excluding. the country. from the. inside of. my broadcast live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team trash glad to

have you with us now turkey's foreign minister has hit out at the u.s. saying that he does not believe washington is a trustworthy partner tensions are escalating between the two nato allies over turkey's offensive against american backed kurdish militias in northern syria which described as terrorists the. moment that the us hasn't kept any promises mr trump told president on the phone that no more weapons will be given to the why should we want to see guns put into action 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 trump an arrow and have attempted to ease tensions but somehow that seems to have gone wrong as well the turkish foreign minister had a few things to say about all of this he first commented on the general state of affairs a between the u.s. and turkey saying that the u.s. did not keep a quote single promise to turkey rick. reading the kurds and that there is no trust

between the countries but he also said that the u.s. has distorted a recent phone conversation between the two leaders president trump relayed concerns the escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting i shared goals in syria to deescalate limited military actions and avoid civilian casualties. one time statement about the content of the phone call between trump and algebra was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth well turkey claims trump didn't express any concerns about escalating violence saying that it was just an exchange of viewpoints but the call comes after on current downstate would be extending its operation and syria to another kurdish held city well the operation has been underway for over a week now with casualties on both sides but neither side seems to be willing to wave a white flag i'm. should

be noted however that washington and ancora have never been on the same page over the kurdish issue there's always been contention but they just brush it aside as if it didn't exist so this is been brewing for years and it's now finally blowing up in their faces about regardless it doesn't seem the u.s. is helping the situation any further so we're just going to have to wait and see what happens. all right political scientist. tom our believes there is a lack of trust in us turkey relations. united states you know getting to understand what it means the words of turks are related to the syrian issue now

they're serious and i think to try to de-escalate the. issue between turkey and united states the most important problem between that states and turkey is that is that there is not you know nobody you know trusts the other and this is the main problem for tricky especially turkish people and turkish government never rely on never trust in. the united states especially in with those issues the u.s. . the u.s. president has met with the u.k. prime minister at the world economic forum in the swiss resort of davos jacqueline wagner is at the event for us. after their meeting both donald trump entry some 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 they probably. had a great relationship with them but. don't necessarily believe that i can tell you who i was with that if you would really. like you. love you for that idea that the two countries still have a special relationship comes just weeks after donald trump canceled his visit to the u.k. 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 transportation secretary said yesterday that if anyone doesn't like that message

they're more than welcome to not listen 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 a few very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum. and some of 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 so we'll 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 mccraw on and merkel and they both had sort of europe first message that they were putting out which maybe isn't as nationalist as america. first but it's not globalists either which is a bit strange in the setting of this forum let's take a lesson it isn't gentleman mime my first message he said france is back france is

back it's the call of europe because we will never have any friends to exist without the europeans 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 not. and today during teresa mayes speech at the conference she also had similar sentiments 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 when we're day to more of davos and with the what else comes out of it. economist boy field gave us his views on what the u.s. president will be hoping to achieve of the davos forum what do i expect from mr

trump's visit to davos dolphin lot of security police and army also you've got to bear in mind that mr trump a stable genius as he puts it he likes to bestride the world stage and so i think because the mist 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 to. purchase

a sports minister is demanding justice for some of the country's top athletes who've been excluded from the upcoming winter olympics. we will stand for the interests of all our athletes reassure their clue we haven't had any claims in terms of doping the list doesn't include russia's most prominent athletes it's actually could be disappointing move but actually there is no surprise we heard about russia's leading athletes not invited to the games in pyongyang this february several days ago and now the country's olympic committee just confirmed it among those who did not receive the official invitation there were expecting that our top ranking athletes the country's major hopeful such as six time olympic champion a short tread skating victor on a cross-country skier sygate was to go for two thousand and fourteen olympic gold medalist. until she pulled in he has his reaction to this news i was shocked by the news i thought about 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 realise that you should never give up life doesn't end and it's important to carry on you should fight to protect your name right to the end of this decision leaves many questions and here's why early in december the international olympic committee to bend russia from participating in the upcoming winter olympic games in kong turn following the investigation that lasted several months over. doping allegations dozens of fast lives were banned disqualified from the games but the biggest concern now is that among those who were not invited are those whose

names in there ever mention during this investigation their names never emerged in connection with doping allegations. it is unclear what's behind their back and the association of international olympic winter sports federation has asked the i.o.c. to explain what is behind this decision one of their representatives has said that they are sure that their route clean athletes among those not invited to the games . 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 in pic committee has said that the committee wants to invite so-called clean athletes from russia to participate in the winter games in pyongyang chan in such a way to encourage the country's new young generation but the thing is that there are those among those not invited to the games who are in fact representing this

very new generation of russian sportsmen young generation and it's hard to understand how they could be encouraged by this decision and another concern which is already also very big is that this news comes just two weeks before the games actually start which means there are few chances that this sportsman could actually fight for their rights to participate the i.o.c. recently released information on why some russian athletes have been excluded from the upcoming winter games the cover seventeen points focusing on alleged violations the panel says it reviewed information based on a moscow laboratory database and allegations presented in the mclaren report on alleged tampering with samples sports lawyer lucian vallone says the i.o.c. is not following basic legal principles mclaren report was was based in the beginning especially on anonymous sources not documents nor to provide

the icing the zs not fair now they're trying to back it up with intelligence you see it's already the proof 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 absolutes will have a very short period of time. of trying to appeal or correct these decisions which are taken. view to exclude everybody who has the slightest doubt on his record and that is not acceptable. twitter says it has found no real evidence of russian meddling in the brightside referendum story much more still to come.

altie we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall. and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call him that. thousand zero zero zero zero zero.

left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. i welcome back this is our international 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 accuse him of helping militants but this is lawyers insist that those charges are fabricated are his modesty of comments. you can argue dr shaquille afridi helped catch these century's most wanted man the man who did this. regular during 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. in. two thousand and eleven of being money to the militants of 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 a bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump do you you think. yes i do i think i would get them out in two minutes i would tell them and i'm sure they'd let them 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

v. i call of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and have clearly communicated opposition 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 political analyst john believes pakistan is punishing dr afridi for helping the cia. i think there's a question of this of an interview of snow here it is not the question that one rather more americans in a look at in a somber love than a pakistani establishment see it that it wasn't that all own pakistan's intelligence and ability because that man was not schools to provide any assistance to the american cia in look at the us army london i don't think pakistan would get would of a country applying to be

a dick enrollees and the reason being is quite simple because china has invested fifty six billion dollars in this in this one of the prime projects so focused on is no 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 relieved of that but the sun would ever listen to the americans whether it comes to a disk to do chicken breast. twitter says it has found no substantial evidence of russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen abroad said referendum those comments were made in response to parliamentary inquiries are displayed book of report. the government's rather disgruntled with the fact that twitter has provided for them as part of this inquiry into fake news and alleged russian meddling the crux of what twitter has said is that just one percent of these some

thirteen thousand accounts that have been identified as being pro brags that during the e.u. referendum campaign just one percent of those were registered in russia now all this started late last year when questions were raised about russia perhaps having interfere in the e.u. referendum and the reason they actually used a big foreign policy speech the mansion house speech to highlight russian meddling russian interference and she came down pretty hard on the kremlin it is seeking to weaponize information deploying state run media organizations to plant fake stories and photo shopped images in an attempt to sow discord in the west and undermine our institutions so i have a very simple message for russia we know what you are doing and you will not succeed the problem was that there was no proof to back up this sort of snowballing

supposition of russian interference take a listen to what the foreign secretary boris johnson had to say about. the. solutions that the new zealand so that will use it or you know this is another of your give them all gone. but. i don't think i'm missing the rules relating to that so you. see i mean. the story of how russia secured their breaks it is one of the biggest scams i've seen so far in this whole saga of russia gate it really represents to export russia gate to other countries. during the run up to the break that's what we heard nothing about russian influence but once russia gate exploded in washington opponents of breaks it seized on the concept of russian meddling there with no facts and no evidence but

a great deal of media interest it's got to be said and public interest at the same time the government made the decision late last year to launch an official inquiry into fake news into russian meddling and they official committee that was charged with it they asked all the big social media platforms to provide information and twitter and facebook they came but back with information originally but what they came back with the government wasn't happy with they accuse them of stonewalling the inquiry in even threatened them with sanctions if they didn't cooperate fully take a look at the correspondence between twitter and the inquiry into fake news i would ask the twitter provides to the committee at least if accounts linked to the internet research agency and any of the russian linked account we are currently undertaking investigations into these questions the information you have now shared with us is completely inadequate we from the one percent of the accounts in the

data sent were registered in russia the failure to obtain straight answers to these questions is simply increasing concerns about these issues the situation we're in now is that lo and behold so to has provided more information they've given this this very own incriminating fact of this one percent of the accounts being registered in moscow and the chair of the committee leading the inquiry damian collins he says that all this leads him to have more concerns about russian meddling rather than less. political activist and social justice campaigner george barda gave us his views on the story not only. twitter come back and said it's only one percent of these accounts but there was an oxford university study as well that suggests that there isn't much of a link either this seems to be something of a red herring to a large extent i mean not only we're only one percent of these these twitter

accounts linked to russia but some of them were probably remain as some of them were probably you know so i think this is really part of a wider political pattern where this kind of divide and rule. story line blaming russia for what's going on is is a way of distracting from domestic political realities. the saudi arabian beauty pageant has seen the competitors are going the extra mile to make sure they take victory but some people have got the hump over contestants cheating. thank you very. much yes. yes. yes. yes it makes the head more inflated so when the camel comes it's like oh look at

how big that head hits it has big lips a big nose. they are cheating everyone a fine should be applied to us. and that does it for mail me back in thirty five minutes with a full look news you watch our two international really iowa. banks guys are financial survival you know they say money the bellatrix floods it is it this is the central banks are for dying at the moment i'm going to call them right now they stop to. increase.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go on to be press that's what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. this is group work and we're here at the world economic forum in davos switzerland coming up i can't say how great a show is i'm very excited we've got the c.e.o. of one who is
