simonds for the next week on her desk it all goes back to a tragedy that happened almost five years ago she was treating a patient with leukemia and that required a morning biopsy a routine procedure for a doctor me suited up it all went fine and the patient went off to work by evening he was suffering severe stomach pains and an ambulance took him to a private hospital then he underwent surgery and in two days passed away if a patient dies he is or her relatives always want to get justice when someone's life is taken due to somebody else i think that some punishment must follow but what caused the person's death the biopsy the surgery or something else it took the investigators and the court for years to determine that for now the verdict is that this office will remain empty for two years. but some of russia's top hematology called the ruling nonsense while dr misogynous colleagues and former

patients were simply stunned now i feel that a future is being taken away from the person who saved my life and lives of many others that's unfair i am getting the michoud in. every scene medic understood that a person who fully deserved to be acquitted was being put behind bars and that means all of us doctors may end up in prison where are you in the missile if we get punished just for following correct procedures then will be afraid to do our jobs as doctors the support campaign online is gathering pace with age just we starved hash tag and you me and me sued in our social network posts profile pictures being changed its native wish there was that it did you know that in the courtroom after she was already handcuffed but the last thing she said to her husband was not about her child but about our patients she asked that they be taken care of so a doctor was already convicted who should have been angry had not cared but was

still thinking about her patient we've tried to get a comment from the private clinic that carried out the surgery following the biopsy and the stomach pains but they're refusing to talk to journalists though and their online press statement the clinic stands by its doctors and their work the case is so controversial tragic and has grabbed so much attention the authorities are scratching their heads over what to do with that prosecutor's office request to overturn the court's decision the reason violations committed in the process of investigation. the prosecutor and initially had new doubts and found no basis for an additional investigation request and only after a public outcry the prosecution appealed sizing violations of g. process the officers position cast doubts on the competency of its officers yeah i do not know all the details of that case i think it's the coolest business and if

necessary there could be a follow up to find out if there's a link between the doctor's actions and the death of the patients the staff of this clinic they want justice to prevail so was the relatives of the patient who want the person responsible punished we might never find the truth but after talking to people who work at this clinic i believe there is little doubt that experts should be given another chance to look at this case. over to the u.s. where the countdown begins on charles decision over the release of a classified this friday the document allegedly details f.b.i. abuses regarding its surveillance powers the us president earlier said he was one hundred percent behind the members release and that has seen the agency and democratic party go on a verbal attack against the white house kelly picks up the story the pending release of a classified government memo is shaking up washington d.c.

if indeed the obama administration used the department of justice and the f.b.i. just spy on trump during the campaign this could be quite a scandal it would discredit the deal jay and the f.b.i. as nonpartisan the law enforcers and destroy the democrats now the democratic leadership doesn't want to be destroyed so here's a few of their last ditch efforts to keep their boat afloat. now adam schiff from the democratic side of the house intelligence committee says that he's preparing a counter memo he says the republicans edited the document to fit their political agenda he says he's preparing a memo of his own that will expose the misleading character of the documents. that the f.b.i. says that they haven't been given sufficient time to review the documents and they have grave concerns about the facts that have been removed from the memo. as expressed during our initial review we have grave concerns about material emissions a fact that fundamental the impact the memos accuracy. the

democrats say the document was altered before the president saw it they say that these changes were made without their knowledge so the vote to release it is invalid. discovered late tonight the chairman has made material changes to the memo he sent to the white house changes not approved by the committee the white house therefore reviewing a document the committee has not approved for release. however some of these changes reportedly came at the request of the democrats and the f.b.i. themselves others included minor edits and grammatical fixes. now leading house democrat nancy pelosi says that releasing the documents poses a significant threat to national security intelligence is that it's the cia the d.n.a. at the end i the. national defense everybody has their element of it and sources and methods must be protected. if you absolutely cannot stand the message

go after the messenger and it never hurts to throw russia into the mix is it possible that the republican chairman of the house intel committee has been compromised by the russians as a possible nuclear agency running the house intel committee on the republican side i hope that's not the case i mean this is behavior speak of that i mean i'm not the first person who's raised this he's behaving like someone who's been compromised now keep in mind this whole big stir is over just for pieces of paper but those pieces of paper contain vital information information with potentially enough voltage to light up washington d.c. for months if not years. r.t. new york. about the fortunes of violent forces both east and west during the second world war and took the lives of over two million people this friday marks seventy five years since the soviet army tree over the nazis at stalingrad after months of attrition.

do you have enough food. and right. everything i think about you. i hope to return.

the history of stalingrad echoes across many parts of the world affected by the war in several cities in france including the capital streets and squares and named after the battle that's also the case in the capital brussels even in italy in the ancient city of belonging a street has been named after the soviets victory. in modern russia stalin is now known as the city of volga and special memorial siren rings will be taking place over the course of today celebrating the bravery of the veterans who fought for the city.

still to come it's knees general election next month could make or break its future in the european union we look into that story after this short break. quick. the world is getting away from us dollar as wall reserve currency

a one road one bell policy linking up russia and china is out of the dollar every loss of trade oil away from the dollar countries are desperate to get out of the u.s. dollar saw the dollar is going to lose value no matter what anybody says so here's the treasury secretary really trying to make it look like oh it's our polls are for a lower dollar long now what he says the dollar has gone lower as a human side for a number of years because the u.s. dollar is a currency. other countries recognize as funding the wars and the weapons and the poverty that they're trying to escape. welcome back to the program the outcome of italy's general election next month could put rome on a collision course with the european union the e.u. will be watching the election closely for three main reasons italy may have the third largest economy in the euro zone but had spread playing debt italian finance

chief say a recent recovery could be derailed by the vote also the popularity of former prime minister silvio berlusconi and his center right for italian party is growing although he's banned from public office for tax fraud conviction and thirdly the rise of populist parties in particular brussels will be worried about the euro skeptic five star movement. it's currently the single most popular party according to the recent polls and it's candidates. one twenty five percent of the vote in the twenty thirteen general election we spoke exclusively with the leader of the five star movement about his party's chances and the country's economy. everyone talks about european ism but when it comes to giving solidarity to other countries support i hope the germans can retrace the steps to block migrants from greece and italy from seeking relocation because a few years ago we approved

a new european parliament approved that provided for the redistribution in other european countries parts of the migrants who are in italy and greece. but surely all the other countries have become skeptical towards the issues and aspects of the european union for this reason i think this is a fruitful moment to start working on the revision of some european parameters especially those on the deficit allows us to make more investments last year the founder of the five star movement that paid for for italy to leave the euro zone he supported legal changes for countries that wanted to remain any member but not have a euro currency but the party leader again explains currency issues are high on his agenda. no no no he never said we should leave the european union we had a referendum on the euro currency but right now this choice is an extreme ratio

because we think there may be more dialogue european tables. of your it's obvious that if we do not have the majority after elections but we are the first political force in the country we will make a public call to other political forces proposing to converge on the issues ask the other political forces what are their priorities for a. late cuban revolutionary leader fidel castro's eldest son has committed suicide according to cuban state media fidel castro diaz balart was sixty eight and it's reported that he had been battling depression for some time he turned the nickname fidel little or little fidel for his resemblance to his late father it's believed he had recently been receiving hospital treatment but was released as an outpatient at the time of his death he was serving as a scientific advisor to cuba's state council and was a leading figure in the country's nuclear program.

and you can watch artie's interview with the late cuban need a son talking about revolutionaries on r.t. dot com or are you tube channel because your family you're talking about to. leave the. they were fighting for more than sixty years together that's nothing to do with the castro family. family as all families is that it one body do you have any political ambitions once i was this question maybe because of my name i look like i was pretty good. supposed to be something that's true that i have political ambitions but though my politico my career has been assigned and i have said many times regret to say to you today don't have to go a mission that's all round up of our top stories from the checks up. on our website

that's all to dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with well so stay with us . turkey's decision to invade northern syria has foreign policy implications far beyond the middle east what are anchors objectives in syria and the region to suit a final peace settlement to syria's proxy civil war and what is turkey's future in nato. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the sixties full on austin the only show i go out of my way to find you know a lot of the really packs a punch. yam is the john oliver of marty americans do the same as we are apparently better than blue things that i see people you've never heard of love went back to the night i'm president of the world bank so take your time to let me seriously

send us an email. level for hard selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. produce offspring to tell you that so be gossiped in public by styles of the most important . off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. the brunt of. the best out of the jaws of. the concepts i was preparing to perform i had actually passed myself to dying. he'd what i'm sorry i'm sorry. as mr.

sloan in the home of staff turned to. this country he was. and he had a good soul and. so we'll see. what traditionally if ever it was that he could with us to. yes get more deeply she. had to be sure that they kind of. democratic anger over president trumps state of the union immigration rhetoric will that make reaching a deal on dreamers even harder to take a look at that on this edition.

of the politicking on larry king president donald trump delivered his first state of the union address tuesday night and left many democratic lawmakers and activists furious over his remarks about immigration so this mean of a deal on doc is now even further out of reach than it was before and it's not what happens to the so-called dreamers who seem to be caught between the two warring political parties will start with cesar vargas cesar's an immigration activist direct. sure of the dream action coalition he is also in new york state's first openly undocumented attorney he was formerly a latino outreach strategist for bernie sanders twenty sixteen presidential campaign he joins us from new york how did you feel about the address susan. thank you so much for having me well there's no question that this president had

the opportunity to really heal a nation that has been divided along many racial lines along political lines along partisan lines and frankly the president dropped the ball instead of trying to unite us he put he threw gas in the fire and and really just continued to divide the nation exploiting fear exploiting the actual suffering of a family who had been our family who suffer the murder of their daughter by gang members and there's no question that we obviously want to keep our nation safe but this president pretty much put a solution for dreamers a solution for our immigration system even farther with his rhetoric and frankly you know this is the not a president there really is listen more to stephen miller and his allowance stephen miller to become president than president trump becoming a leader and actually coming together to unify a nation and provide solution for the dreamers as well as provide national security for our nation he said he's for a path to citizenship for one point eight million dreamers you're one of those

didn't that encourage you. there's no question that it is and courage is no question that dreamers want to be able to have a path to citizenship but at the same time not at the cost of other immigrants on the bus we obviously want to have a path to citizenship and aspire to the american dream like many other people as we said all americans are dreamers yes we all are american dreamers we all are americans and what this president is pretty much frankly trying to do is try to trying to pass a complete anti immigrant list on the backs of dreamers he's trying to say will give you a path to citizenship but in exchange we are going to criminalize and target detain and the poor your mother your father your spouse and frankly that's not a deal that we can accept we are not going to target other immigrants just so dreamers just or communities can group of income be protected and that's frankly what this president's trying to do divide more people and put people in a position to choose their own safety over their parents' safety and that's

something that is un-american whoa you came. i came to the u.s. when i was five or so after my father passed away and like and like any loving mother my mom took the break decision to come here to give me a better life in mexico it was either not having enough food to eat living in a one room with no windows or take a chance in going up north right to to the dream of one day perhaps one of her sons will become an attorney and for me the original dreamers the dreamers are my parents that risked everything to give me a better life and now as an attorney i'm going to make sure that i am fighting for my family i'm going to make sure that my mom has a path to citizenship and i want to make sure that dreamers as well as all our communities can be protected because this is exactly what this nation is about we are a nation immigrants but we're also a nation where we are welcoming more people and embracing people who work hard and aspire to the american dream represent. the thirty's which women should one point

two speech and declared to dreamers you are part of our story we will fight for you we will not or go away do you have a lot of things in their pledge. i do have faith that we are going to get this whether we have faith in congress the reality is a sixty percent of the american people have faith in congress but what we do know is that i do have faith that we're going to get this done we have seen this anti immigrant rhetoric before we have seen this hate and seen a phobia back before whether it was people targeting irish italian german jews we have seen this before and we're seeing this now like before we're going to overcome this like before the american dream is going to survive is going to flourish and going to allow many people to continue to work hard and really aspire to their aspirations as lawyers doctors engineers and i know we're going to make sure that we are continuing that work and it starts working here in our communities we're

going to demonstrate that myself and many people who come here as children or people who are biped tempera protected status can have a chance to the american dream and i do believe that we're going to get this done the senate majority whip john cornyn republican of texas bill if the democrats don't figure out a way to negotiate then the doctor program will end and they will be responsible what's your reaction to. well they are pretty much trying to hijack a deal republicans and steven miller and attorney general just sessions is trying to hijack the overall deal they know that if they put all this anti immigrant lives they're going to try to to show up a wall down the american people's throat they're trying to increase over twenty five billion dollars that could be going towards fixing our role if they could could be going to our infrastructure they could be going into veterans' medical

assistance you know all this money could be used in a better situation and yes we have seen right now the biggest budget over eight hundred billion dollars being going to immigration enforcement that's combined and that the way. the f.b.i. and many other agencies combined so we already have resources our immigration enforcement what we need to do is republicans actually coming to the table saying we need to dream act but we're also need some funding to to update technology we need funding to ensure that we have monitoring across remote areas of the border let's work on that let's not say what will give a dreamer's but we're going to target. we're going to eliminate the rights of u.s. citizens to bring in there is an arrant we're going to bring eliminate that so i think republicans are the one to play the games and of course we're going to pressure democrats to also work with republicans on a deal. will be calling on you again thank you so much for having me i'm now joined by chris shays the former republican u.s.

representative from connecticut he was a senior member of the finance and homeland security committees and was vice chair of the budget and government oversight committees he joins me from washington d.c. . ok chris will trump speech i mean he tweets all the time will his speech matter. yeah it mattered to people last night i mean i basically enjoyed the speech i thought it was one of the more interesting ones and you know i i've been on the house floor for those speeches twenty one times and i thought it was kind of a well thought out speech but it's not a teleprompter and you just pray that that's the real you know the real donald trump but but i'm not sure it is and in fact lee i don't think it is you paul is his own speech i noticed that and you know he was having a little fun but it was a good speech you know you could raise questions about parts of it but the bottom

line is. it was more a campaign speech but it was interesting i love the stories i love the introduction of the folks. and it was it was a presidential speech and i guess you know we set the bar so low for him sometimes that when he gives a speech this we think it's even better than it probably is government funding runs out again some were the expect another shutdown. it's very possible i mean we are at a point unlike what we used to be you know twenty years ago or thirty years ago where the full house would decide a vote now it has to be practically all republican all and when the democrats were in charge all democrats and that's not healthy trump once twenty five billion for border security is ministration intends to propose two hundred billion over ten years for infrastructure where's the money come from. well that's the that's the

big issue i mean he it's easy to applaud a tax cut and a big tax cut though this wasn't the biggest like you said but the eighth in rank. no it's really tragic that what people realize is one of the things that slows our economy down are our huge deficits twenty billion dollars i left congress feeling that i had let people down in two thousand and eight with such a large national debt and so we have a twenty plus trillion dollar national debt. it's outrageous concerning that the g.o.p. was the one that always complained about the national debt and now to the republicans against deficit is not a dirty word anymore no it isn't but remember under ronald reagan he was willing to have deficits and under george w. bush we had deficits said we've kind of ignored it partly because we tell people they're bad but they don't see it and it it happens in the future with some other

president and some other congress so you kind of can enjoy the fruits without having to pay for it and that's tragic and and frankly the news media allows members to get away with it they don't talk about it as well because it's not romantic right it's not romantic it's hard for people to visualize but they know intuitively in their own household when they have large that it's not a good thing so i take one of my really my most satisfying time in congress was with john case that i was the number three guy on the budget and we balanced the budget four years in a row had surpluses and that was really satisfied and then two thousand came along and the tools that we had grabbed my admin and so on that enabled us to control spending disappeared they they had they were no longer operative and then the budget just started to float high again during the congress when clinton left the

presidency and that was a major surface right. it was a major surprise but what it was was president clinton saw what happened in ninety four republicans one he recognized that republicans were in control and john k. sick and frankly under newt gingrich we really focused on getting our country's financial house in order and we we saw four years of surpluses and the irony was that we started having people complain because the bond market was losing some of. their bonds to sell and they complained that we didn't have debt. it's kind of funny and they're dead serving of nearly twenty point five trillion was imposed in december after a three month debt ceiling suspension house republicans now believe that they have until late february to act on the ceiling what do you think will or should happen

well what should happen is along with increasing the debt limit they should show that they can control spending and get a handle on spending but he mean even the amounts that they're talking about for national defense are are pretty extreme i was reading recently what president eisenhower said in his farewell address and he talked about the the industrial defense complex that would always encourage us to spend money it's not that defense doesn't need money but it wastes so much money i chaired the commission a wartime contracting and it was astonishing the waste we have too many bases now that's the fault of congress because they don't want to get rid of them but but it's not an efficient use of money in the defense congress will stay right there will be back with more politicking right after the break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth.
