it was off them why do you think there is this ambiguity i mean surely the burden of proof should be on the accuser is innocent until proven guilty if the guilt cannot be proved does that mean by default they're innocent you just i mean is this is the case i mean if you're not if you know computer cannot be proved that you're guilty you're innocent and the sentence is quite clear about this and i think it's very it's a very balanced something because they say twenty eight governments are clear and clean and they can go on and you learn are not clean and they can they will not turn the olympic games in south korea this is fergus's this shows that there have been two investigations two independent investigations and the result is quite balance issues that they will be in clearly examined all cases piece by piece and find out what for me is just simply just six justice do you expect the i.o.c. to reconsider its decision and invite those russian athletes to to the games

upcoming in korea or is it too late anyway even if they do change their mind. i think they should but probably they would not because i mean all the affair has a political dimension my interpretation since the beginning is that there is clearly a campaign against russia and against president putin and of course course it's also i mean to somehow discredit russia so if now they will accept the russian utterances they will provoke a political storm and made a lot of these a point probably to decide not to accept the atlas also because early enough is quite late you can fill in the speech start next week. right but a telephone or italian journalist that thanks for giving us your insight into this story here knotty. over to the united states now and a public clash between the white house and the f.b.i. is seen in the u.s.

president accuse the bureau of lacking investigative process this comes as donald trump looks set to release a classified memo alleging the f.b.i. abused its surveillance powers kaleb open picks up on 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. to spy on trump during the campaign this could be quite a scandal it would discredit the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. as nonpartizan a 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 document.

that the f.b.i. says that they haven't been given sufficient time to review the document 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 fundamentally impact the memos accuracy. 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 news 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 now. some of these changes 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 document poses a significant threat to national security intelligence is that it's the cia that d.n.a. at the end. national defense everybody has their element of it and sources and methods must be protected. and. 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 chair of the house intel committee has been compromised by the russians as a possible nuclear threat or rush of the agents running the house intel committee on the republican side i hope that's not the case i mean this is behavior speak of that though 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 four 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 and we spoke to the executive director at the eurasia center in washington d.c. who believes the memos were to create doubts over russia were dated investigations . you know he's frustrated with the russia gate. investigation of which after a year and a half we have no evidence whatsoever and now what we've got is actually evident tax could backlash on the democrats absolutely i think that's the primary that's the fundamental reason why they do not want to release it really puts in the question this entire investigation it shows at least indications that could be further investigated but from the initial appearance severe bias with senior levels of our law enforcement agency i think what he's concerned about here i personally don't think anything in the memos probably is that embarrassing

yes is that against threaten national security i don't think so so the classification is probably more because it's sensitive information and the president has the authority to release at. least five migrants who are in hospital after being shot during a fight at a food bank in the french port city of cali another twenty two people have been injured say extra police have now been deployed to the area. and the rule reportedly lost it for almost two hours it said so involved over one hundred afghan and every tree and refugees some of whom were using improvised weapons it's not known what triggered it so it's just the latest on a string of violent incidents in the city where eight hundred migrants and asylum seekers are thought to still be living following the dismantlement of the county jungle camp the french interior minister visited the city earlier he called the violence there unimaginable. to see the new kid i came to carry because what

happened here is you serious we have reached a degree of violence not known until today the government will propose a bill in the coming weeks to try and help asylum an immigration problem. the clashes come just weeks after the french president tomorrow proposed the draft bill that would tighten current migration policy the legislation would make it easier to deport undocumented newcomers who do not qualify for asylum it would also increase the length of time or thought his current detain illegal migrants for from forty five days to ninety frauds receive the record one hundred thousand applications for asylum last year now campaigners are drawing attention to the controversial case of a leading moscow doctor found guilty of malpractise we'll have all the details after this short break.

the world is getting away from us dollar as wall reserve currency the one road one bell see linking up russia and china is out of the dollar every loss of trade oil away from the dollar and countries are desperate to get out of the u.s. dollar so the dollar's 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 balls are far lower dollar going to matter what he says the dollar is going lower as we've been saying for a number of years because the u.s. dollar is a currency that other countries recognize as funding the wars and the weapons and the poverty that they're trying to escape. when almost seemed wrong when old rules just don't hold. i mean you get to shape out these days become active. and engaged because betray you.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to our medical professionals across russia have been left outraged after a conviction of a renowned moscow hematology just she was found guilty of medical malpractise off the death of a patient many doctors though as well as legal experts claim the case against her had significant flaws. has more it was dr you enemies you had a nose job to come to this clinic every day and work to save people's lives she was the mastermind behind this brand new unit which was meant to become the most advanced center for bone marrow transplants in moscow the plan was to open it in

january but instead a court ruled that she must go to jail this is a misuse of the nose office she has been gone for two weeks already we miss her she had a lot of plans and there are signs 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 somebody 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 an hour 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 here to end the michoud in. every scene magic 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 on the missile if we get punished just for following correct procedures that then will be afraid to do our jobs as doctors the support campaign online is gathering pace with ages we starved hash tag you me and me shoot in the social network posts profile pictures being

changed as native wish there was that is so that did you know that in the courtroom after she was already handcuffed the last thing she said to her husband was not about her child but about our patients that much she asked that they be taken care of and 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 nationally had no doubt found no basis for an additional investigation request and only after

a public outcry the prosecution appealed citing violations of g. process the office's position casts doubt on the competency of its officers yeah i do not know all the details of that case i think it's the course business and if necessary there can be a follow up to find out if there's a link between the doctors actions and the death of the patients the staff at this clinic they want justice to prevail so as 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. clashes have broken out between palestinians and israeli security forces in east jerusalem after the palestinian liberation organization called for a major day of rage. was.

there arrest began in the palestinian neighborhood following a friday prayer israeli defense forces let off smoke and stun grenades to disperse the crowds has been a spike in violence in jerusalem and the west bank following the u.s. president's controversial decision to recognize the contested city as the israeli capital. it was a battle that turned the fortunes of allied forces both east and west during the second world war and took the lives of over two million people is friday marks seventy five years since the soviet army's victory over the nazis that stalin grabs after months of attrition.

little bundle of joy would have no chance of surviving in the world. as can only with one couple to time but usually gets. every year china puts a lot of effort into making up for this cruel mistake of nature. is just. 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 show for the public. several cubs are born here each year. but don't let work by dedicated scientists will be for nothing if panda love can't be encouraged in captivity it's not as though they don't practice a tool but in the same lazy way they do everything else with this proud mommy gave birth to twins and has no idea that a special love potion was formulated just for the.

hello and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle 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 does it facilitate or hinder of final peace subtle meant to syria's proxy civil war and what is turkey's future in nato. across talking turkey and syria i'm joined by my guest sami ramadani in london he's

a contributor on iraq and the middle east for the guardian as well as a senior lecturer in sociology in oxford we have dan glazebrook he is an independent political analyst and author of divide in ruin the west's imperial strategy in the age of crisis and in istanbul we cross to change he is dean of political science is a marmora university all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want they always appreciate it i change the senate bill let me go to you first here it is very simply what is turkey's aims what its strategic goals in syria over since the incursion into northern syria can you give us you know two or three major points what turkey wants to achieve. actually to the s.b.a. to your point very clear the first. ones to get rid of this. we can say. this is a call to y.p.

or this is the first and most crucial step three point four second please. to cleaning this area to put some syrian emigrants you know we have three and a half million syrian emigrants in turkey to put down some of them to. create some kind of buffer zone between turkey and syria or iraq. we can say is safe so on in syria and also i think this is my prediction that. there will be. how can i say it's off to political table like. or sochi or astana or what they will you call it he it wants to be there on the table. you know so that's why you know these three reasons more strategic. change of turkey in our atmosphere ok but i have to i have

to point out that you didn't say the word kurds once ok and that's really what it's all about here you know sami i'll be really honestly i can understand turkey's position ok i do understand and i don't necessarily agree with it but i will tell you something sammy i understand the position of all the major players when it comes to syria except for one country the united states i don't understand what it is doing in syria i mean what we're all told is that you know the sacred cow nato must be preserved but u.s. policy is driving a huge wedge between the two countries that have the largest military in nato i mean who's making this policy in the u.s. . while for the united states and syria most of the proxy forces that they create a lie upon have been either defeated or on their way of being defeated in syria what. changed or increased their presence in syria is this

dramatic development of gaining. the y p g practically really unfortunately i'm very sadly for from my point of view that the y p g the kurdish group has decided to make an alliance with the united states big mistake in general. yeah the kurds always choose the wrong side i mean historically they do this and they have done it again. dan it's very sad very. dan let me go to you. what i mean what is the possibility that we're going to see turkish u.s. forces go head to head because the u.s. seems to it seems to me it's a policy of spite it is a spoiler made one see it lost the war assad still there and it wants to spite the russians in the iranians but that's really childish thinking when you think about

it go ahead. there's a spoiler but i don't agree that this collision course necessarily on the cards between ankara and washington i mean from washington's point of view the thing is they want their goal is to just weaken and preferably destroy any independent force in the global south first that does the big strategy right and so that includes the syrian state and frankly that includes a potentially independent strong kurdish force and it includes turkey so if they see the turks and the y. p.g. tearing themselves apart that's that fits ok into into the us game plan and if they're doing in the syria inside syria all the better so i don't see this is so odds with washington they're going to be ok they made this announcement they wanted a border force and it's put the spoiler on on that but there's many ways to destroy a country is not many ways to build up a tree but again many ways to do is to destroy so i guess what you're saying there is a method there's a method to their madness go ahead jump in understand go ahead go ahead. because i

would like to add something about american policy. in turkey. you know government and people are mostly get. try to create. a kurdish zone between turkey and syria and iraq in order. in order to use this policy to educate turks persians and arabs and also it is good for. to be created is satellite not independent dependent to the united states creators on just perfect for america and most of people in turkey most of. us and all you know columnists think that we have some you know yeah america has something like there's a project. to create through all these or so ok so the united states.

i mean it began that the u.s. is exporting democracy in you know in liberalism i'm sorry it's a nice it's a fairy tale but it's not just for the border force go ahead dan go ahead they might have wanted to they might have wanted to create a little basically syria and kosovo why p.g. areas in syria need to a fact of partition and it was actually not so much the announcement the border force but the announcement that the two thousand u.s. troops the announcement by tillerson that the two thousand u.s. troops were basing going to stay there effectively permanently i mean the wish list of what you wanted to achieve was made it a fact of permanent they're not going to have any of those things any time soon so that was what really told the turks look they're basically going to stay us power and on the ground presence is going to establish basically an independent state within a state and of course they could find that as i say ok so that partition was one possible way to destroy the syrian state but. the kurds and turks destroy and destroying each other is another way to achieve frankly similar goals of the

destruction of syria and we can have the herds go. sammy jump in it's part of the program just just one other issue i think which needs mentioning is that ted kid unfortunately. takes quite a bit of the blame for the destruction in syria for the support i'm backing for terrorist groups inside syria. its only conflict has been with the with within syria and recent times as with the kurds of syria they got frightened because the united states backing started backing the y.p. . but truly turkey should also shoulder quite a lot of the responsibility for the mayhem that. unfolded in both syria and in iraq by the way where they still have some forces inside iraq as you out and their

policy towards the kurdish people over many decades has been really bad that must be mentioned that the kurdish people have suffered enormously from successive regimes tens of thousands of kurds have died inside turkey and this so-called cleansing inside syria turkey is in effect committing aggression against a sovereign state the syrian state which has object to fish only to the entry of turkish troops so there are a dime if you cations here and that is the other point i wanted to raise is out there is some genuine friction between turkey and the united states since the coup attempt which seems to have had. support to overthrow ok on. in istanbul jumping yes. yeah actually you know it's in turkey you know something like forty years we have coach problems about this this is not really really kurdish problem turkey. was again it's not the kurdish people of kurdish

people you know in spandex according to if you are. compared with other countries such as syria iraq and iran the that that became a girl as you know or terrorist groups turkish. one of to be problems and they. are they are the main cause to kill kurdish people even this take this is a kurdish they they claim that this kurdish independence group they killed a lot of kurds in turkey and also turks as well you know that many in turkey is as a state it has no problem with kurdish citizens in turkey to live peacefully and more democratically down in syria iraq and iran if we come to lucy to initiate issue in the beginning turkey would united states and meet european allies in order

to support.
