the stories that shaped the week here on a rebel group downs a russian fighter jet in the northwest of syria and then kills the pilot. also the washington is plunged into political infighting as a controversial republican memo alleging and hid from the f.b.i. and justice the bomb is publicly released. sports the highest court clears twenty eight russian athletes of doping all sanctions against them are overturned explaining there's insufficient evidence they took banned substances.

are you watching the weekly here not international live with me that hawkins this is all round up of the top stories here of the last week and latest up to date headlines. rebel fighters shot down a russian jet in syria's province on saturday they then killed the pilot in a shoot out and verified video of the incident has been posted online by another opposition faction. a lot of work. to do over the. good you bet it is that. somebody from out of the norm. would be. the. second video has also surfaced online reportedly showing the rebels posing with the dead body of the pilot warning you may find the following images setting the clip appears to show

one of the militants taking a selfie next to the victims others also taking pictures and chanting russia's the french ministry says the plane was shot down using a portable surface to air missile. the salafist opposition group has claimed responsibility for the attack it was formed just over one year ago from five other jihad factions including the nor did i was in q. movement which has in the past been supplied with weapons by the united states some analysts say a total sham is essentially al qaida in syria russia moved quickly to take action carrying out a number of strikes in italy province it's the french ministry says more than thirty militants were killed using high precision weapons. and other headlines friday saw the release of a contested republican memo alleging the f.b.i. and justice department to buse their powers to secure a warrant to spy on former campaign aide and twenty sixteen some of the party have

suggested it cast doubt on the whole federal investigation into the claims of collusion between the president's team and moscow are the arguments publication has led to impassioned debate in the media as well. did you ever watch those north koreans goosestepping and why the republican party is so much light that people need to start taking to the streets this is a dictator this is a tipping point for our democracy declassify this memo for fundamentally a political purpose specifically the memo alleges that the application for a warrant to surveil the former trump aide relied on the highly controversial democrat funded steel dossier it was compiled form a british spy and is full of our verified claims about trump supposed links to russia crucially though the memo that the f.b.i. didn't reveal the origins of the documents to the court both the agency and the democratic party have claimed the memos incomplete misrepresents sensitive

intelligence information some of also claim the f.b.i. was under no legal obligation to reveal the memos origen to the judge. looks at what the documents declassification could mean for american politics. if indeed the obama administration used the department of justice and the f.b.i. to spy on the trial campaign this could be quite a scandal it would discredit the d.o.j. of the f.b.i. as nonpartizan 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. for. now adam schiff from the democratic side of the house intelligence committee 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. as expressed during our initial review we have grave concerns about material

emissions a fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy. we. discovered late tonight the chairman new 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 however some of these changes came at the request of the democrats and the f.b.i. themselves others included minor edits and grammatical fixes. 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 of the actual russian agents reading the house intel committee on the republican side and i hope that's not the case that 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 a former cia analyst and whistleblower john kiriakou told us he believes the developments have laid the shadow you practices of the f.b.i. . this contains some troubling evidence of f.b.i. malfeasance those of us who are critics of the f.b.i. have been saying this for years this is how the f.b.i. does business they do it surreptitiously they do it by stabbing people in the back they do it by setting people up by entrapping them by tricking them and that's exactly what they did with the face of court they played the face of court judge by not telling them the source of this deal they plead that judge by not telling them that this was a a partisan. report and and they got their warrant they got their warrant anyway. a two people have been killed and seventy others injured after two trains

collided in the us state of south carolina a collision between an amtrak train and a freight train happened at around two thirty in the morning local time the amtrak train was operating between new york and miami with at least eight crew and one hundred thirty nine passengers on board as a result of the collision the front engine derailed as well as a number of passenger carriages. but other headlines the court of arbitration for sport overturned the lifetime bans of twenty eight russian athletes on thursday and reinstated their saucy olympics results that were part of the doping scandal dating back to twenty fourteen with a russian accused of widespread substance abuse eleven other athletes also had bans are moved but will not compete at the upcoming winter games in south korea or the decision to uphold appeals was met with disappointment within the international olympic committee gas arbitrators unanimously found that the evidence put forward

by the i you see in relation to this matter did not have the same weight in each individual case this is why in twenty eight cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that's an anti-doping rule violation was committed actually it's concerned. this does not mean that these twenty eight athletes are declared innocent but in their case due to insufficient evidence the appears so held the sanctions and old and their individual results achieved in such reinstated . cost a decision is extremely disappointing and surprising for. the the i.o.c. we would never have expected these these decision. the need for reforms in the

internal structure of couse r.t.c. was done off looks back at the elsewhere that shook the world of went to sports. team rush o. dog the judgment was swift and he immediately became gospel for much of the olympic world ever since the infamous report on doping in russia saw the light of day but its claims of a state sponsored conspiracy the pretext for the ban have been shaken to their very foundation in the last few days bomb shell one. twenty eight russian athletes make a comeback from a lifetime ban over the past few years the international olympic committee unleashed to the ultimate punishment on them following a damning verdict the cheated of the tests it seemed that their dreams careers and lifetime goals were annihilated in one stroke but last thursday the top sports

court had a different opinion on that the ban was no more those stripped of their medals got them back the i.o.c. was both red faced and furious its members see the thing with bitterness and resentment but all things considered the i.o.c. had some trouble standing beside their initial ruling a lot of people asking hell the i.o.c. got the brief so wrong that they were able to throw it out so quickly. well let's let's let's you can look at the decision but let's let's see who will be competing here in the games coming up then we can have this conversation again the embarrassment is understandable the court of appeals decision to reverse the ban was among other things based on the testimony of the very same people who convinced the i.o.c. to impose the sanctions in the first place the mclaren report didn't find the

individual violations of doping rules of individuals because there was only a very limited time the team of mr mclaren had fifty seven days bomb sure. to. the russian paralympic team also had its very decided this week two years ago the doors of the summer games in real were slammed in their faces a blanket ban meant no one was welcome this february a team of almost eighty people will have a shot at the pyong chang golds as so-called neutral athletes not great but it's something russian are regularly tested and they are amongst the most scrutinized after it's in the world under the supervision of while we now have greater confidence that the anti doping system in russia is no longer a compromise and corrupt and given the latest winning streak for russia those athletes who have cleared their names in all likelihood will up their game eager

zone of r.t. it was an emotional day as you can imagine for the russian athletes involved you can see here the reaction of one cross-country skier cleared of doping of the verdict was announced many more russian athletes were in high spirits previously of course they thought their dreams in careers had been shattered. meulensteen in the north i found out about the decision during my training c.s. decided to overturn my disqualification my ban i had only positive thoughts in my head about that i've been ready to ski for a long long time keeping up my training but i had a question right away what about the olympics are we able to dispute this and get an invitation requesting it or i was waiting for the results of a pill when i came back from practice it's amazing yes then my scouts and team started congratulating each other such a relief when not guilty and the whole public will know that a lot of people thought we date but only those close to us knew it's not tree. or

you say they are not guilty or you say they are guilty and they have proved that there is not enough proof for a doping offense hence they are not guilty and this is very important also because it makes the mclaren report to become not in a basis which is enough to convict athletes and every seeing that was. up to now was based on the mclaren report and if this is now not basis enough to convict that lets them i do not understand why also all the russian at plates could have been banned colic to flee without having any any proof of the hoping the head of the russian orthodox church shared his thoughts on the court's decision during a service on sunday. truth always triumphs even if

lies are globally organized and today we have confidence that after the relevant decision of the swiss courts the stranded sportsman outstanding representatives of russian sports will be able to go to the olympics in south korea and defend the honor of our country then we very much hope that this episode will end all the influence efforts on sport to hit specific political goals and the athletes are not the goal russia is back in december the russian flag a national anthem were banned by the i.o.c. from the south korean games athletes will compete as neutrals but one design agency has come up with an alternative for russian fans.

this week the b.b.c. was accused of bias in its brics it coverage with the majority of its guests said to have been in favor of the european union that's according to several reports which prompted anger in britain's house of lords. across our output as a whole we must be inclusive reflecting the breadth and diversity of opinion we

must give due weight to the many and diverse areas of an argument. to leave has left us with a group of leaders who having lit the fire. breaks it is a historic mistake for us with it breaks my heart i lie in bed at night the baby at the back said once again i'm the soul on a v.c. . frankly the previously has become the supporter over for organizing. for european unity of the brics it's true mr b. the day the city recently that his live in brussels is made even more difficult if every time he makes a small the faults. of the b.b.c. get short that is because you do duty of impartiality.

or discuss this issue with the director general of the institute of economic affairs who was behind one of the reports critical of the b.b.c. . but it's true that we are no longer in a referendum period and it is true as the b.b.c. said in the statement they have furnished you with that it's no longer a binary choice but the problem is this although there are a wide range of choices really those range of options are subsets of the remaining camp and the leaf cap i think is pretty poor that a public broadcaster a skewed that gets some panelists so dramatically in this direction on the top political issue of the times. in general in britain a stagnation figures famous figures and influential people have tended to be in favor of e.u. membership it's more the ordinary man or woman who rebelled against the political

stab recently tends to believe side seems to be the balancing for people's views on bret's it making sure you have a fair share of voice from both ends and all ends of the argument should be a very very high priority indeed. i think the politicians on the leave side of the argument those who are in favor of pricks it are beginning to lose their patience with the b.b.c. but i would say that the b.b.c. now should be concerned but there are politicians who are seriously raising in the british parliament in the house of lords genuine concern about whether the b.b.c. really can be considered a neutral broadcaster one that doesn't just show a diversity of views but a proper balance. after the break the crime draw did u.s. city of baltimore has called for a cease fire over the weekend in an effort to combat record high murder rates swore that just came up.

everybody i'm stephen ball. hollywood guy you'll suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. news this is my buddy max famous financial guru he's a little bit different. in your windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm rude have some fun every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. that you criminalist released by the white house into an institution those included on the list are accused simply by association. being from russia or is no one

except it cools for suspicion so doesn't criminalist really change it. back to the program as a ceasefire in the us city of baltimore this weekend tackling the record high murder right there the city reported three hundred forty three homicides just last year. few cities in body america never been to a more depressing way than the city of baltimore baltimore struggles with a record high murder rate. murder two people. yes baltimore there is a robust active crime strategy.

we're. talking about. is the third ceasefire of its kind. around twenty events during the weekend to mourn the victims we spoke to the activists behind the latest campaign people all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful and not be violent for three days. and do life affirming event so they're even over this city what a weekend here we keep. no homicides this all comes as baltimore is being

rocked by one of the city's biggest police corruption scandals the gun trace task force was made up of plainclothes officers and was supposed to be tackling the city's spiraling murder rate over it does seem they've actually been adding to the levels of crime it was dissolved in march last year arrested facing various charges including fraud drug trafficking and planting fake evidence six out of eight members of the group of pleaded guilty to charges of organized crime so americans across the story. the baltimore police department is now involved in one of the biggest scandals in us law enforcement history for months now the court system has been trying to investigate corruption within the city's police force eight officers are on trial over drug trafficking racketeering robbery and planting fake evidence like drugs and. we would create false reports to cover up the robberies we were involved in it was like aware if life were got away with a lot of things if proven guilty the officers that may face twenty to one hundred

years in prison and six of them have already pleaded guilty and are now acting as witnesses in hopes of softening the moving verdict and their lawyers claim the officer still feel to over what they've done mr jenkins is extremely remorseful he's been remorseful for a long time even before these charges were brought and he's relieved that today finally he was publicly able to accept responsibility for their clients sorry for what they did or should. be so you see regretful of what what happened i really don't have any comment meanwhile officers cases continue to be dismissed with hundreds under review and most of them involve incidents of officer switching off their body cameras to plant drugs or guns and then reenact seizing the evidence they had already planted. high street giant back in the headlines after shoppers took offense at socks it was selling which appeared to have the word printed on
