but there are politicians who are seriously raising in the british parliament in the house of lords in particular in the clips that you just showed genuine concern about whether the b.b. so you really can be considered a neutral broadcaster one that doesn't just show a diversity of views but a proper balance and if the b.b.c. starts to lose the faith of politicians and the public in that key question of neutrality then i think over the longer term i have a great deal of problem justifying their present funding and possibly even the present basis of their existence marketa were director general of the institute of economic affairs thank you for your time. but. the trump has been caught on a hot mike saying he'll release the controversial classified memo allegedly detailing abusive surveillance powers by the f.b.i. it happened as the president was leaving the chamber after his state of the union address he was asked by republican lawmaker jeff duncan to release the memo. released. on.

its claims the document reveals the f.b.i. is abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance act particularly with regards to claims found in the infamous trump dossier if confirmed it could damage the reputation of the agency and the ongoing investigation into trump's alleged links to russia the memo was drafted by the chairman of the u.s. house intelligence committee with senators voting on monday to make it public some of the committee members who read it called it absolutely shocking and worse than watergate president trump has told friday to decide whether to release it the reaction to transfer state of the union address was mixed from standing ovations to booing samir khan was following the speech. arguably one of the most important announcements of the night keeping guantanamo bay open in the past we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous terrorists. only to meet

them again on the battlefield including the isis leader al baghdadi who we captured who we had who we released. so today i'm keeping another promise i just signed prior to walking in an order directing secretary mabus to reexamine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in guantanamo bay. so he's going back on obama's policy but on foreign policy there was plenty of american exceptionalism mixed with platitudes and cliche's he introduced the subject by naming every so-called threat to the u.s. but in general it was all pretty vague he didn't go into detail explaining how he would accomplish any of these goals but beyond that trump took credit for eliminating isis and he seemed to have hinted at continued military presence in the

region saying quote we will continue our fight until isis is defeated he ended it with north korea calling it the worst of all dictatorships warning that their pursuit of nuclear weapons could very soon threaten our homeland even though d p r k has never attacked another country before north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation i will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position while russia and china have been trying to reduce tensions between the u.s. and north korea and they even called on the. us to not provoke them anymore but somehow they were designated as a threat sent from speech around the world we face rogue regimes terrorist groups and rivals like china and russia that challenge our interests our economy and out

of badness in confronting these horrible dangers we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great effects i was just watching on mainstream coverage earlier and the only criticism that had well his foreign policy wise was that he was apparently too soft on russia. still to come hackers claim a canadian champions positive doping test was covered up ahead of rio twenty sixteen zero dates housefull you up to the sobering. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics school business i'm show business i'll see you then.

what politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press this is what before you can't be good. i'm interested always in the lawyers in the. best suit. the currency market itself is still on track to eclipse the global banking. only which is what we need what we want and. it's a bank circular that's the primary is a big. welcome

back the russian hacking group found sea bass is claiming the canadian olympic committee covered up its national poll vote champion testing positive for doping prior to the rio olympics. joins us in the studio with all the details now thanks for coming in so what are they claiming to have dug up here well it looks like an eyebrow raising e-mail exchange supposedly between the people from the canadian olympic committee and also their national body that is responsible for sports i think some pretty disappointing tactics in there it looked like attempts to play down an anti-doping rule violation and some quirky damage control around the summer olympics in rio and here's the athlete at the center of this what can you tell us about him well it's all of the case of the former pole vault champion from canada his name is shawn barber prior to rio he had tested positive for cocaine but

instead of being thrown out of the olympics after several internal disciplinary proceedings with didn't count he was allowed to go and moreover the i.o.c. was being kept in the dark about the case the see you see he was not permitted to disclose sean situation prior to or during the games we do not condone this behavior sean has apologized for his mistake and poor judgment. now for a moment bear in mind the treatment that all the russian olympic athletes have been getting and just listen to how shawn barber was cleared basically what he did it was claimed at hearings that he had received cocaine ingested it during a sexual interaction with someone he called a professional woman she allegedly found him on

a craigslist ad and the cocaine was transferred when they kissed plus in his testimonies barbour apologized obviously well and the canadian officials for them it was a no to let him go and keep the i.o.c. and the dark about this by the way just for your information a few months after rio barber came out as gay and said that he's proud of it so as the i.o.c. found out about this i expect they responded very seriously to a very serious allegation well i'll tell you it was too late for respond to respond sorry when they found out though it appears that for some people in the out of see it was a really unfortunate situation for example the president thomas bar called the ruling a decision that was influenced by the national interests those are his alleged words but in the meantime if we go back to the e-mails some of the top canadian

sports officials were trying to do their best to make sure that his case doesn't grab any other attention or any legal attention whatsoever and if you look at the wording it suggests that anyone who's causing some concern or who's trying to ask some questions is doing something really terrible. it does not seem right that this is being suggested publicly when a fair and independent determined the athlete was a no fault in this case one. and the i.o.c. had the right to appeal the decision of the time and none of them did well this is the point where i once again want to mention all the russian olympic bans well everyone has their own understanding of the words double standards blatant double standards in my opinion thanks for coming in with those details. with

a lympics looming only one hundred sixty nine russian athletes will be invited to the games out of almost five hundred initially put on the list russian president vladimir putin has apologized to the sports people saying the country failed to protect them. you know better than anyone else you know how hard it is to clean victories and how much effort you million and it's two times harder when a sport is mixed with events unfamiliar to sport politics we apologize for not managing to protect you from that r.t. talks exclusively to a number of russian athletes who were spoken to by the president. so you're going to lose there is a certain amount of pressure on all of us of course it's quite a complicated situation are really want to do my best one to overcome my anxiety and distance myself from all the sturdy media is causing around as now i want to address our fans i want them to be more kind and to keep supporting us no matter what i need to forget about our desire to win forget that everyone is against us

and just continue doing our jobs. i don't know within ourselves we know what country we're present it matters what we feel not what we wear just really like we have hard feelings for those who weren't alone to participate even though they were innocent and maybe we're still a bit angry about that. israeli legal activists have father lol suits against two new zealand is one of his who is jewish herself that's because they apparently influence pop saw a lot to come slept on the cake in tel aviv days paullus laos story. late last year the new zealand pop star norden answered she was canceling a performance that she was scheduled to have given here in tel aviv in june of this year now it seems as if her announcement was made following an open publication of course by two new zealanders urging her to boycott the country lord posted her response on her twitter feed noted been speaking with many people about this and

considering our options thank you for advocating me i am learning all the time to now is really activists are suing those two new zealanders in what appears to be the first lawsuit filed under its controversial israeli anti boycott law the law goes back to two thousand and eleven and it could open the door to civil lawsuits against those calling for a boycott of his role including of lands it's occupied if it can be proven that that call knowingly lead to a boycott now the noise part of the israeli government's way to try and deal with the boycott sanctions and disinvestment movement there has been growing traction against israel in recent years it does allow the courts to impose damages against if indians now critics of the law of course argue that it stifles freedom of speech and freedom of expression. also in russia the countdown is well underway for

presidential elections in march the incumbent lattimer puritan is running for what would be his fourth term two parties the right wing l d p r and the more liberal leaning yabloko are fielding the same candidates as before to measure and all ski and grigori linsky there are also some new faces russia's communist party is now represented by a perv old routine and known as the strawberry king thanks to his collective farms and then those eggs t.v. hosts because the news thought jack says that a vote for her is a vote against everyone artie's oksana boyko sat down with her. i want to show people russia but there is another point of view this is the goal of my compay i know you can't win on the elections where only putin always wins but in himself on many occasions that russia needs more competition both political but he never gives if. you know all the facts you are so so out of your here for eighteen

years i'm just a little blonde girl you know coming from going to shows and how to balance with me . i've never said that a president should be you know one field expert. of the only good way for us is a long way i know that many people want to foster change but change only happens as a revolution i am against. i want to educate people i want to bring them truth and i want together all their problems to make them federal it's the same old russian paternalism waiting for the officials to fix the problem don't you think that you are essentially playing the very same kremlin tactic no i'm not i am the change people want to see.

not been prevented. it's hard for the currency market itself is still on track to eclipse the global banking all adopt only which is what we need what we want and i've always said it's a bank starkiller that's the primary is a big point of the earth. president

obama. insists. little. lego was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles that don't lead to new socks for the tell you that it's not because of the public but files of the most important news today. the matter has been telling you are not cool enough and let's not fight their products little. things all the hawks that we along with our audience loves watching league. hey everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy you know suspects every proud

american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. and he was just this is my buddy max famous financial guru where it's a little bit different i'm not. going to find your windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm hitting the road to have some fun meet everyday americans. more. closely start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. remember. it. if they are. angry. that.

her. is just. haters interested in social mother was just. broken and so she was it is going to egypt put on trial so to be thought of she brought how did you get out to go to sea which is a. fourth us enough just on that. john just adds to our youth. this little bundle of joy he would have no chance of surviving in the wild. mother pandas can only read one car by the time but usually give birth to two every year

china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature if two cubs are born then two must survive. time to defend its interests. endangered species don't have to become extinct not if you take good enough care of them mr darwin's theories don't all hold good here. this. newborn pandas way just one hundred twenty grams. here in captivity the counts are reared by stuff at the panda operating center in the wild it's the mother who takes care of the young she just swallows anything the cub wants to get rid of. these might well be the most helpless little ones in the world as well as the most endearing and quite probably the most expensive.

pender is china's national treasure. even its coloring is a living symbol of the past an illusion to the home country. a balanced opposites. black and white light and dark day and night sun the moon sky and earth heat and cold. war i think part of. what a cub is born it becomes the property of the people's republic of china. there's no getting around that law but zoos can rent pandas from the state for a limited period it's not cheap so they have to pay over a million dollars a year to the government. says. this is one national treasure

that's guarded like the most priceless of jewels. they may be predisposed to laziness but pandas still wake up early and that means their keepers have to as well. and judging paying work at the panda center starts at six am or send them the file will tell. you they're thinking and think about. how many mama. grew one meaning and ohio a kenyan fourth and. sounded i don't think our boy they're coming and. knowing they had. a heart for their human being that they'd miss. pieces and this one is. i don't know how to spell but this is for your front door and let her pets yeah one year if

we. use this one. you meet them and. it's not just to focus interest but at the job i did to trudeau so. does the judicial told. to the sugar so it was still just distillers would do for them to. look at it and say there's no use that our union to follow up is there yet see you know shit about this. ted. to hold. you to sit down with agenda. through each of. us and see to attend to a trickle. down to them from the law.

to that little bullshit to. your kooky new shitter of how to juggle the jesus didn't really talk to each other to call it a tradition or due to legal. some of. which are half the. material oh. yeah you can go. from zero to did i don't feel your hot food hot. she was so you could use a more. china's panda breeding has become something of a production line. it's almost as though they've been copied three d. printed and put on shows for the public. good.

that. the. panda breeding center isn't just a first rate to the bar a tree it's also a zoo where anyone can go to see the fruits of china's breeding program through fifty eight one that's around ten dollars. so if you know how we're going. to. meet with i would do well there were. several cubs are born here each year. in two thousand and sixteen the panda was removed from the red book officially it's no longer an endangered species but it is still vulnerable. building up the population is just the first step the toughest challenge for the

breeders is still ahead. that will lead to your down so far for us you know us there's work. here you know where the. g.o.p. finds out who that they would do if you would. ever years maybe even decades of work and needed to make that possible.

now while you. say you know what i sense in your. comments. it's a well done it's in the. mortality rate is just one of them. so. the why. of how to die out. by the mothers. pressure is that one interest in my mind. is only just. because it. is a new at home that's a good and a good. idea that your. you know because bamboo is such

a low calorie food to get the nourishment they need. and the other just thing is. you really have to love pandas to do this from morning till night. the animal produces up to twenty kilos of droppings every day. for. the watch so we have. to whether to hold you with. or. without allies from pretty. you know. you could make paper out of these droppings mostly comprised of cellulose for now though that wouldn't be.
